                 Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                                    June 30, 1997
                                     (Unaudited)


1.  ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have 
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for 
interim financial information and with the requirements of Form 10-Q.  
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes 
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial 
statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only 
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation 
have been included. Operating results for the three and six month periods 
ended June 30, 1997, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may 
be expected for the year ending December 31, 1997.  For further information, 
refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included 
in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 
1996.

NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Net income per share of common stock is determined by dividing net income by 
the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock 
equivalents (dilutive stock options) outstanding.  Fully diluted net income 
per share is equal to primary net income per share for the three and six 
month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued 
Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share, which is required to be adopted on 
December 31, 1997. At that time, the Company will be required to change the 
method currently used to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior 
periods.  Under the new requirements for calculating primary earnings per 
share, the dilutive effect of stock options will be excluded.  The impact of 
the Statement does not change primary earnings per share for the three and 
six month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.  The impact of Statement 
128, if any,  in the calculation of fully diluted earnings per share for 
these periods is not expected to be material.

NEW AUTHORITATIVE PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1997, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive 
Income," which is effective for fiscal lyears beginning after December 15, 
1997.  This statement establishes standards for reporting and display of 
comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose 
financial statements. The Company's comprehensive income will include net 
income and the change in unrealized gainsand losses on investments.

In June, 1997 FASB also issued Statement No. 131 "Disclosures about Segments 
of an Enterprise and Related Information," which establishes standards for 
providing disclosures related to products and services, geographic areas, and 
major customers. Management has not determined the impact of this Standard.

2.  INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes varies from the statutory federal income tax 
rate applied to income before taxes principally due to tax exempt interest.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 
1996.  Net premiums written for the three months ended June 30, 1997 were 
$21.9 million compared to $16.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 
1996, which represents a   36% increase.  The increase was primarily 
attributable to growth in insurance in force and related renewal premiums of 
the Company's primary insurance subsidiary, Amerin Guaranty Corporation 
("Amerin Guaranty"). Management believes that Amerin Guaranty was able to 
increase revenues due primarily to increased use by existing lenders of the 
Company's borrower-paid mortgage insurance, the addition of new, large 
lenders which began doing business with the Company during 1996 and increased 
sales of lender paid mortgage insurance.  Amerin Guaranty's monthly premium 
plan represented 87.9% of new insurance written for the three months ended 
June 30, 1997 compared to 86.7% for the same period in 1996.  Renewal 
premiums for the three months ended June 30, 1997 increased 52.1% from the 
comparable prior year period due primarily to the growth of insurance in 
force throughout 1996, as well as increased popularity of the monthly premium 
plan.

    Net premiums earned increased by $7.1 million to $21.9 million for the 
three months ended June 30, 1997 from $14.8 million for the three months 
ended June 30, 1997.  This increase was primarily due to the increase in 
insurance written and in force in the 1997 period over the corresponding 
portion of the 1996 period.

    Net investment income of $4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 
1997 increased by $.5 (or 12%) over the same period in 1996 primarily due to 
investment of the proceeds of Amerin Guaranty's net operating cash flows over 
the course of 1996 and the first six months of 1997.  Realized investment 
gains for the three months ended June 30, 1997 were $7,000 compared 
to realized investment losses of $.3 million for the same period in 1996.  
The increase was due primarily to the sale in 1996 of a fixed income security 
with a low yield relative to the prevailing interest rate environment.

    Losses incurred in the three months ended June 30, 1997 were $6.8 
million, compared to $4.4 million of losses incurred in the three months 
ended June 30, 1996, as a result of the aging of the Company's policies.  
Because of the Company's limited operating history, its loss experience is 
expected to significantly increase as its policies age further.  Policy 
acquisition costs during the three months ended June 30, 1997 of $2.8 million 
increased by $0.6 million (or 28%) compared to the same period in 1996 
principally due to the growth in the level of marketing and underwriting 
activity in connection with the increased production of new insurance written 
in the 1997 period compared to the prior year period.  Underwriting and other 
expenses increased by $.7 million (or 27%) for the three months ended June 
30, 1997 over the same period in 1996 due to the increase in insurance in 
force and increases in various administrative and occupancy costs relating to 
growth in the Company's personnel.

    The Company's effective tax rate was 28% in the three months ended June 
30, 1997 and June 30, 1996.  The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 
1997 and 1996 was below the statutory rate of 35%, reflecting the benefits of 
tax-preferenced investment income.

    As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company had net income of $9.7 
million for the three months ended June 30, 1997, compared to net income of 
$6.7 million for the same period in 1996.

    SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 
1996. Net premiums written for the six months ended June 30, 1997 were 
$42.3 million compared to $29.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 
1996, which represents a 44% increase.  The increase was largely attributable 
to a 65% increase in renewal premiums. Management believes that Amerin 
Guaranty was able to increase revenues due primarily to increased use by 
existing lenders of the Company's borrower-paid mortgage insurance, the 
addition of new, large lenders which began doing business with the Company in 
1996 and increased sales of lender paid mortgage insurance. Amerin Guaranty's 
monthly premium plan represented 89.3% of new 

                                       5
<PAGE>

insurance written for the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to 85.4% for 
the same period in 1996.  Renewal premiums for the six months ended June 30, 
1997 increased 65% from the comparable prior year period due primarily to the 
growth of insurance in force throughout 1996, as well as increased popularity 
of the monthly premium plan.

    Net premiums earned increased by $15.5 million to $42.4 million for the 
six months ended June 30, 1997 from $26.9 million for the six months ended 
June 30, 1996.  This increase was primarily due to the increase in insurance 
written and in force in the 1997 period over the corresponding portion of the 
1996 period.

    Net investment income of $9.1 million for the first six months of 1997 
increased by $1.0 million (or 12%) over the first six months of 1996 
primarily due to investment of the proceeds of Amerin Guaranty's net 
operating cash flows over the course of 1996 and the first six months of 
1997.  Realized investment losses for the first six months of 1997 were 
$.02 million compared to realized investment losses of $.2 million for the 
first six months of 1996.  This decrease in realized losses was due primarily 
to the sale in 1996 of a fixed income security with a low yield relative to 
the prevailing interest rate environment, as well increased activity within 
the existing portfolio required to maintain the desired composition of the 
overall portfolio in accordance with the Company's investment strategy.  As 
of June 30, for both 1997 and 1996, the yields to maturity in the investment 
portfolio were 5.7%, and the average durations of the investment portfolio 
were 6.4 years and 6.5  years, respectively.

    Losses incurred in the first six months of 1997 were $13.4 million , 
compared to $8.4 million of losses incurred in the first six months of 1996 
as a result of the aging of the Company's policies.  Because of the Company's 
limited operating history, its loss experience is expected to significantly 
increase as its policies age  further.  Policy acquisition costs during the 
first six months of 1997 of $5.3 million increased by $1.2 million (or 29%) 
compared to the first six  months of 1996 principally due to the growth in 
the level of marketing and underwriting activity in connection with the 
increased production of new insurance written in the 1997 period compared to 
the prior year period. Underwriting and other expenses increased by $2.0 
million (or 39%) for the first six months of 1997 over the first six months 
of 1996 due to the increase in insurance in force and increases in various 
administrative and occupancy costs relating to growth in the Company's 
personnel as well as $0.5 million expenses incurred in connection with the 
Company's secondary offering completed on February 13, 1997.

    The effective tax rate was 28% in the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 
1996.  The effective tax rate for the first six months of 1997 and 1996 was 
below the statutory rate of 35%, reflecting the benefits of tax-preferenced 
investment income.

    As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company had net income of
$18.4 million for the first six months of 1997, compared to net income of 
$12.4 million for the first six months of 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    The liquidity and capital resources considerations are different for 
Amerin Corporation and its principal insurance operating subsidiary, Amerin 
Guaranty, as discussed below.

    Amerin Corporation is a holding company whose principal assets are its 
investments in Amerin Guaranty and Amerin Re. Amerin Corporation has no 
operations of its own and no employees and has only limited needs for 
liquidity to meet certain legal, accounting, tax and administrative expenses. 
Amerin Corporation relies primarily on dividends and other permitted 
distributions from Amerin Guaranty and Amerin Re as sources of funds.  Amerin 
Corporation does not currently have any committed lines of credit.

    The principal sources of funds for Amerin Guaranty are premiums received 
on new and renewal business, amounts earned from the investment of its 
contributed capital as well as the investment of its cash flow and 
commissions on ceded business and reimbursement of losses from reinsurers.  
The principal uses of funds by Amerin Guaranty are the payment of claims and 
related expenses, reinsurance premiums, other operating expenses 

                                       6
<PAGE>

and dividends to Amerin Corporation.  Liquidity requirements are influenced 
significantly by the level of claims incidence.  Amerin Guaranty does not 
currently have any committed lines of credit.

    Amerin Guaranty generates substantial cash flows from operations as a 
result of premiums being received in advance of the time when claim payments 
are required.  Cash flows generated from Amerin Guaranty's mortgage insurance 
operations totaled $28.3 million and $20.5 million for the first six months 
of 1997 and 1996, respectively.  These operating cash flows, along with that 
portion of the investment portfolio that is held in cash and highly liquid 
securities, are available towards the liquidity requirements of Amerin 
Guaranty. Amerin Guaranty's investment portfolio was $306.5  million at 
June 30, 1997 and $291.3 million at December 31, 1996.

    All of the Company's $341.0 million of fixed income securities at 
June 30, 1997 are rated "investment grade," which is defined by the Company 
as a security having a National Association of Insurance Commissioners 
("NAIC") rating of 1 or 2 or an S&P rating ranging from "AAA" to "BBB-."

    RISK TO CAPITAL RATIO.  As a condition to maintenance of its 
claims-paying ratings, the total amount of insurance risk that may be written 
by Amerin Guaranty is limited to a multiple of 20 times its statutory capital 
(which includes the contingency reserve) less the carrying value of 
non-investment grade debt and tax and loss bonds and investments in 
affiliates, or such higher or lower multiple as is reasonably determined by 
the rating agency in its sole discretion.  Amerin Guaranty has several 
alternatives available to control its risk to capital ratio, including 
obtaining capital contributions from the Company, purchasing  reinsurance and 
reducing the amount of new business written.  A material reduction in 
statutory capital, whether resulting from underwriting or investment losses 
or otherwise, or a disproportionate increase in risk in force, could increase 
the risk to capital ratio.  An increase in the risk to capital ratio could 
limit Amerin Guaranty's ability to write new business (which in turn could 
materially adversely affect the Company's results of operations and 
prospects).  At June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, Amerin Guaranty's risk 
to capital ratio was 15.2 to 1 and 13.3 to 1, respectively.
