RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING

To The Shareholders and Board of Directors of Capitol Transamerica Corporation:

The Company has prepared the consolidated financial statements, related notes, and other financial data appearing in this Annual Report. The statements were developed using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and policies considered appropriate in the circumstances. They reflect, where applicable, management's best estimates and judgments. The financial data also includes disclosures and explanations that are relevant to an understanding of the financial affairs of the Company. To meet management's responsibility for financial reporting, internal control systems and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of the financial records and compliance with corporate policy throughout the organization.

Ernst & Young LLP, independent auditors, have audited the financial statements. To express an opinion thereon, they review and evaluate the Company's internal accounting controls and conduct such tests of the accounting records and other auditing procedures as they deem necessary. The Board of Directors oversees the Company's financial reporting through its Audit Committee, which regularly meets with the independent auditors, both with and without management present, to review accounting, auditing and financial reporting matters. A policy of business ethics is communicated annually to the Company's directors, officers and responsible employees. The Company monitors compliance with the policy to help assure that operations are conducted in a responsible and professional manner with a commitment to the highest standard of business conduct.

Paul J. Breitnauer Vice President and Treasurer


REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Capitol Transamerica Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Capitol Transamerica Corporation (the "Company") as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' investment and comprehensive income, and cash flows for the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000. Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 14(a). These financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Capitol Transamerica Corporation at December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Capitol Transamerica Corporation (the "Company") is an insurance holding company, which writes, through its subsidiaries, commercial insurance coverages in 37 states. The property-casualty insurance coverages represent approximately 77% of the Company's premiums written while fidelity-surety coverages represent approximately 23% of the Company's premiums written. The Company's products are marketed through independent agents located throughout the United States.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements of insurance companies requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

(a) Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Capitol Indemnity Corporation ("CIC"), Capitol Specialty Insurance Corporation ("CSIC") and Capitol Facilities Corporation ("CFC"). All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

(b) Investments The Company classifies all of its fixed maturities and equity securities as available-for-sale. Accordingly, investments in fixed maturities and equity securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported in a separate component of shareholders' investment, net of tax effect. The cost of fixed maturities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Fixed maturities and equity securities deemed to have declines in value that are other than temporary are written down through the statement of income to carrying values equal to their estimated fair values.

Investment real estate is carried at cost net of accumulated depreciation of $1,595,693 and $1,173,643 as of December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively. The real estate is depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset.

Cost of investments sold is determined under the specific identification method.

(c) Premiums Premiums are recognized as revenue on a pro-rata basis over the term of the contracts. Approximately 18.5% and 13.9% of the total premiums written are on risks located in Wisconsin and Illinois, respectively. No other state exceeds 10%.

(d) Loss and Loss Adjustment Expenses Losses and loss adjustment expenses less related reinsurance and subrogation recoverable, are provided for as claims are incurred. The reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses include: (1) the accumulation of individual estimates for claims reported on direct business prior to the close of the accounting period; (2) estimates received from other insurers with respect to reinsurance assumed; (3) estimates for incurred but not reported claims based on past experience modified for current trends; and (4) estimates of expenses for investigating and settling claims based on past experience. The liabilities recorded are based on estimates resulting from the continuing review process, and differences between estimates and ultimate payments are reflected in expense for the period in which the estimates are changed.

24

(e) Deferred Insurance Acquisition Costs Deferred insurance acquisition costs that vary with, and are directly related to, the production of premiums (principally commissions, premium taxes, compensation and certain underwriting expenses) are deferred. Deferred insurance acquisition costs are amortized to expense as the related premiums are earned.

(f) Income Taxes Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial statement purposes and the amounts used for income tax reporting.

(g) Income Per Share Basic income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of stock outstanding during the year. Diluted income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted- average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents from options outstanding. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS:

(h) Comprehensive Income (Loss) Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as net income plus or minus other comprehensive income (loss), which for the Company, under existing accounting standards, consists of unrealized gains and losses, net of income tax effects, on certain investments in debt and equity securities. Comprehensive income (loss) is reported by the Company in the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders' investment and comprehensive income (loss).

(i) Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1999 financial statements to conform with the 2000 presentation.

The Company continually reviews its reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses and the related reinsurance recoverables. As explained in Note (1)(d), differences between estimates and ultimate payments are reflected in expense for the period in which the estimates are changed. As a result of the variability in these estimates, reserves have differed from actual experience during 2000, 1999 and 1998. The actuarial estimates are based on past claim experience and consider current claim trends and premium volume as well as social and economic conditions.

While the Company has recorded its best estimate of its reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses, it is reasonably possible these estimates, net of estimated reinsurance recoverables, may change in the future. See Note 4(b) for a discussion of discontinued assumed reinsurance.

(4) Reinsurance

(a) Ceded From 1996 through 2000, the Company reinsured losses in excess of $1,000,000 with various other companies through reinsurance ceded contracts. These arrangements provide for greater diversification of business, allow the Company to control exposure to potential losses arising from large risks, and provide additional capacity for growth. Amounts recoverable fromreinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with the claim liability associated with the reinsured policies.

Reinsurance ceded contracts do not relieve the Company from its obligations to policyholders. The Company remains liable to its policyholders for the portion reinsured to the extent that any reinsurer does not meet the obligations assumed under the reinsurance agreements. To minimize its exposure to losses from reinsurer insolvencies, the Company continually evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers.

(b) Assumed - Discontinued CIC was involved in providing reinsurance coverage by assuming a portion of risks underwritten by other insurance companies and risk pools. Although CIC withdrew from this reinsurance business in 1976, liability remains for losses on policies written during the period in which it participated as a reinsurer. The Company is involved with treaties that cover certain risks which have had significant development industry-wide over the past several years. The discontinued reinsurance assumed loss reserves are based on current information available from the ceding companies and are continually reviewed for accuracy and reasonableness.

Management believes that the reserves of $7,344,795 at December 31, 2000 are adequate, but recognizes the uncertainty industry-wide concerning these exposures. The Company has provided a letter of credit relating to reinsurance assumed of $130,000 at both December 31, 2000 and 1999.

(c) Assumed - Active CIC participates in reinsurance programs in the accident and health and commercial multiple peril lines of business. The exposure on this business is minimal.

Net written and earned premiums and losses and loss adjustment expenses included in this reinsurance activity are as follows:

(6) Common Stock Options The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) and related Interpretations in accounting for its stock options. Under APB 25, since the exercise price of the Company's stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock at the date of the grant, no compensation expense is recognized. The Company did recognize $25,476 in compensation expense during 2000 under FASB Interpretation 44 effective July 1, 2000 for APB 25 related to options which were repriced to the stockmarket value in 1999.

Had the Company elected to follow the fair value method under SFAS 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", net income and earnings per share would not be materially different for the years 2000, 1999, and 1998. Pro forma disclosure is required and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its stock options under this method.

The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively:
risk-free interest rates of 6.4%, 6.1%, and 4.4%; dividend yields of 2.4%, 2.0%, and 1.4%; volatility factors of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of .394, .394 and .345; and a weighted-average expected life of the options of two and one-half years. The weighted-average fair value of options granted for the years 2000, 1999, and 1998 was $3.03, $2.29, and $3.92, respectively. The estimated fair value is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period.

The Company's pro forma information follows:

                                  2000         1999         1998

The Company's 1993 Stock Option Plan has authorized the grant of options for up to 1,072,500 shares of the Company's common stock. All options granted have a five year term and become fully vested at the end of four years. Stock options available to be granted in the future equal 721,011 shares at December 31, 2000.

(b) CIC is required by the Insurance Commissioner of the State of Wisconsin to maintain a minimum compulsory surplus (surplus as regards policyholders) of 25% of net premiums written during the preceding twelve months. As of December 31, 2000, the amount of compulsory surplus required to be maintained by CIC was $23,350,674.

(c) In accordance with state insurance regulations, the insurance subsidiaries can distribute dividends to the Company of the lesser of their net income or 10% of their surplus without regulatory approval.

(d) The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) revised the Accounting and Procedures Manual in a process referred to as Codification, with the revised manual becoming effective January 1, 2001. The revised manual has changed, to some extent, prescribed statutory accounting practices and will resultin changes to the accounting practices CIC and CSIC use to prepare their statutory-basis financial statements. Management believes the impact of these changes to CIC's and CSIC's statutory-basis capital and surplus as of January 1, 2001 will be insignificant.

(8) Contingent Liabilities CIC is a defendant in certain lawsuits involving complaints which demand damages and recoveries for claims and losses allegedly related to risks insured by CIC. In the opinion of management, such lawsuits are routine in that they result from the ordinary course of business in the insurance industry. The reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses include management's estimates of the probable ultimate cost of settling all losses involving lawsuits. See Notes (1)(d), (3) and (4).

(9) Employee Benefit Plans The Company has a defined contribution benefit plan (the Plan) in which all qualified employees are eligible to participate.

The Company's annual contribution to the Plan is 150% of the first $1,500 of each participant's contributions during the plan year. The Company made contributions of $250,637, $242,511 and $214,839 in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

The Company also has an Employee Stock Ownership Plan in which all qualified employees are eligible to participate. The plan provides for discretionary employer contributions of shares of Company stock or cash to purchase shares of Company stock. The Company made contributions of $301,000, $179,000 and $100,000 in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

(13) Industry Segment Disclosures The Company has three business segments, which are segregated based on the types of products and services provided. The segments are 1) property and casualty, 2) fidelity and surety, and 3) discontinued reinsurance assumed operations. These segments constitute 100% of the operations of the Company.

The property and casualty segment provides specialty commercial coverages for beauty and barber shops, bowling alleys, contractors/manufacturers, day care centers, restaurants, detective/guard agencies, golf courses and taverns. This segment also provides nurses professional, deerhunters and sportsmen's accident, and special event coverages. The fidelity and surety segment offers a full range of surety and fidelity bonds, including contractor's payment and performance bonds, license/permit bonds, fiduciary and judicial bonds, as well as commercial fidelity bonds. The reinsurance assumed segment was discontinued in 1976, but, due to the nature of the coverages, the Company continues to experience loss activity related to this business. The Company maintains and monitors its segment information on a statutory basis. Financial data by segment, including a reconciliation to consolidated GAAP basis, for 1998 through 2000 is as follows:
