                      AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO SCHEDULE 13D

     This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D") is being
filed on behalf of Blavin & Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("BCI"),
and Mr. Paul W. Blavin, the principal of BCI, as an amendment to the
initial statement on Schedule 13D, relating to shares of Class A Common
Stock of Riscorp, Inc. (the "Issuer"), as filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on March 27, 1998 and amended by
Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on April 9, 1998
(as amended, the "Amended Schedule 13D").

     This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D relates to shares of Class A
Common Stock of the Issuer purchased by BCI for the account of (i) PWB
Value Partners, L.P. ("PWB"), of which BCI is the general partner, and (ii)
two institutional clients for which BCI acts as investment advisor
(collectively, the "Clients").  The Amended Schedule 13D is hereby amended
and supplemented as follows:

ITEM 3.   SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS

     Item 3 of the Amended Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in
its entirety to read as follows:

     As of July 21, 1998, BCI had invested (i) $1,868,556 in shares of
Class A Common Stock through PWB and (ii) $1,007,341 and $424,915 in shares
of Class A Common through each of the Clients, all as described in Item 5
below. The source of these funds was the working capital of each of PWB and
the Clients, as the case may be.

ITEM 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

     Item 5 of the Amended Schedule 13D is hereby amended by amending and
restating Items 5(a) and (c) as follows:

          (a)  As of July 21, 1998, BCI and Mr. Blavin are beneficial
owners of 1,520,000 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Issuer or 10.66%
of the shares outstanding.  The 1,520,000 shares described above are
beneficially owned by BCI and Mr. Blavin for the account of PWB and each of
the Clients, as the case may be.

     The number of shares beneficially owned by BCI and Mr. Blavin and the
percentage of outstanding shares represented thereby have been computed in
accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Act.  The percentage of beneficial
ownership of BCI and Mr. Blavin on July 21, 1998 is based on 14,258,671
outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock as of April 30, 1998 as reported
in the Issuer's Form 10-Q/A filed with the Commission on June 15, 1998.

          (c)  The transactions in the Issuer's securities by BCI during
the past 60 days are listed as Annex A attached hereto and made apart
hereof.
