NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1998
(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 six month period ended June 30,
1998, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ending December 31, 1998. 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, 1997.
NEW AUTHORITATIVE PRONOUNCEMENT
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 (SFAS 131) "Disclosure about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information," which is effective for years
beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS 131 established standards for the
way that public business enterprises report information about operating
segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises
report selected information about operating segments in interim financial
reports. However, segment information is not required to be reported in
interim financial statements in the initial year of adoption. SFAS 131 also
establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services,
geographic areas and major customers. Implementation of this standard is not
expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
In June, 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which is
required to be adopted in years beginning after June 15, 1999. Because of
the Company's minimal use of derivatives, management does not anticipate that
the adoption of the new Statement will have a significant effect on earnings
or the financial position of the Company.
2. INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes varies from the statutory federal income tax
rate applied to income before income taxes principally due to tax exempt
interest.

3. NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Where the effect of common stock equivalents on net income share per share
would be antidilutive, they are excluded from the average common and common
equivalent shares outstanding.
4. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
As of January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the interim reporting requirements
of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No 130 (SFAS 130), "Reporting
Comprehensive Income." SFAS 130 establishes new rules for the reporting and
display of comprehensive income and its components; however, the adoption of
SFAS 130 has no impact on the Company's net income or stockholders' equity.
SFAS 130 requires unrealized gains or losses on the Company's available for
sale securities, which prior to adoption were reported separately in
stockholders' equity, to be included in other comprehensive income. Prior
year consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to
the requirements of SFAS 130.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
1997. Net premiums written for the three months ended June 30, 1998 were
$30.1 million compared to $21.9 million for the three months ended June 30,
1997, which represents a 37% 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 and the addition of new lenders
which began doing business with the Company during the last year. Amerin
Guaranty's monthly premium plan represented 89.6% of new insurance written
for the three months ended June 30, 1998 compared to 87.9% for the same
period in 1997.
Net premiums earned increased by $7.6 million to $29.5 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1998 from $21.9 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 1998 period over the corresponding
portion of the 1997 period.
Net investment income of $5.3 million for the three months ended June
30, 1998 increased by $.7 (or 16%) over the same period in 1997 primarily due
to investment of the proceeds of Amerin Guaranty's net operating cash flows
over the course of 1997 and the first six months of 1998. Realized
investment gains for the three months ended June 30, 1998 were $.1 million
compared to $7,000 for the same period in 1997.
Losses incurred in the three months ended June 30, 1998 were $7.1
million, compared to $6.8 million of losses incurred in the three months
ended June 30, 1997, as a result of the aging of the Company's policies and
the significant growth in insurance in force. Because of the Company's
limited operating history, its loss experience is expected to significantly
increase as its policies age further. Marketing, policy issue and
underwriting expenses during the three months ended June 30, 1998 of $5.7
million increased by $2.9 million (or 105%) compared to the same period in
1997 principally due to the development of contract underwriting for certain
lenders and the increased production of new insurance written in the 1998
period compared to the prior year period. New insurance written increased
94% in the second quarter of 1998 compared to the same period last year.
Other operating expenses increased by $.9 million (or 27%) for the three
months ended June 30, 1998 over the same period in 1997 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 29% in the three months ended June
30, 1998 compared to 28% for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The
effective tax rate for the second quarter of 1998 and 1997 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
$12.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998, compared to net
income of $9.7 million for the same period in 1997.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
1997. Net premiums written for the six months ended June 30, 1998 were $57.3
million compared to $42.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997,
which represents a 35% increase. The increase was primarily attributable to
growth in insurance in force and related renewal premium of the Company's
primary insurance subsidiary. 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 and the addition of new
lenders which began doing business with the Company during the past year.
7
<PAGE>
Net premiums earned increased by $14.7 million to $57.1 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1998 from $42.4 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1997. This increase was primarily due to the increase in insurance
written and in force in the 1998 period over the corresponding portion of the
1997 period.
Net investment income of $10.4 million for the first six months of 1998
increased by $1.3 million (or 15%) over the first six months of 1997
primarily due to investment of the proceeds of Amerin Guaranty's net
operating cash flows over the course of 1997 and the first six months of
1998. Realized investment gains for the first six months of 1998 were $.6
million compared to $.02 million realized losses for the first six months of
1997. As of June 30, the yields to maturity in the investment portfolio were
5.7% for both 1998 and 1997, and the average durations of the investment
portfolio were 6.2 years and 6.4 years, respectively.
Losses incurred in the first six months of 1998 were $16.4 million,
compared to $13.4 million of losses incurred in the first six months of 1997
as a result of the aging of the Company's policies and the significant growth
in insurance in force. Because of the Company's limited operating history,
its loss experience is expected to significantly increase as its policies age
further. Marketing, policy issue and underwriting expenses during the first
six months of 1998 of $9.6 million increased by $4.3 million (or 81%)
compared to the first six months of 1997 principally due to the growth in
the level of marketing and contract underwriting activity in connection with
the increased production of new insurance written in the 1998 period compared
to the prior year period. Other operating expenses increased by $.5 million
(or 7%) for the first six months of 1998 over the first six months of 1997
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 effective tax rate was 29% in the six months ended June 30, 1998
compared to 28% for the same period in 1997. The effective tax rate for the
first six months of 1998 and 1997 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
$24.5 million for the first six months of 1998, compared to net income of
$18.4 million for the first six months of 1997.
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 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.
8
<PAGE>
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 $36.5 million and $28.3 million for the first six months
of 1998 and 1997, 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 $359.2 million at June
30, 1998 and $333.3 million at December 31, 1997.
All of the Company's $394.1 million of fixed income securities at June
30, 1998 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, 1998 and December 31, 1997, Amerin Guaranty's risk
to capital ratio was 16.8 to 1 and 16.1 to 1, respectively.
YEAR 2000 ISSUE
The Company has determined that it will need to modify or replace
significant portions of its software so that its computer systems will
function properly with respect to dates in the year 2000 and beyond. In
April, 1996, the Company commenced a major initiative to enhance its entire
computer system. While this initiative was not undertaken with the primary
goal of addressing the Year 2000 issue, all internal matters relating to the
Year 2000 issue will be fully addressed upon completion of this initiative.
The Company's comprehensive Year 2000 initiative is being managed by a
team of internal staff and outside consultants. The team's activities are
designed to ensure that there is no adverse effect on the Company's core
business operations and that transactions with customers are fully supported.
The Company is well under way with these efforts, which are scheduled to be
completed in early 1999. The cost of the Year 2000 initiatives is not
expected to be material to the Company's results of operations or financial
position.
The Company also has initiated discussions with its large customers and
certain servicing companies to ensure that those parties have appropriate
plans to fully address Year 2000 issues where their systems interface with
the Company's systems or could otherwise impact its operations. The Company
is assessing the extent to which its operations are vulnerable should those
organizations fail to properly convert their computer systems on a timely
basis. While the Company believes its planning efforts are adequate to
address its Year 2000 concerns, there can be no guarantee that the systems
and operations of other companies on which the Company's systems and
operations rely will be converted on a timely basis. The failure of these
other companies to fully convert their systems and operations on a timely
basis could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
