Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

         Pursuant to an Asset  Purchase  Agreement  dated June 17, 1997,  by and
among the Company, its subsidiaries,  and Zenith Insurance Company ("Zenith"), a
wholly owned subsidiary of Zenith National  Insurance Corp., the Company and its
subsidiaries  sold  substantially  all their  operating  assets to  Zenith.  The
transaction was completed on April 1, 1998.

         In  accordance  with the Asset  Purchase  Agreement,  on April 2, 1998,
Zenith transferred $25.0 million to RISCORP and an additional $10.0 million into
an  interest  bearing  escrow  account  as payment of the  initial  and  minimum
purchase price. The final purchase price will be the excess, if any, of the book
value of the  transferred  assets over the  transferred  liabilities  assumed by
Zenith at closing.  On June 8, 1998, the Company's  representative  delivered to
Zenith a closing date balance sheet (the "Closing  Balance Sheet")  representing
the audited  statement of transferred  assets and transferred  liabilities.  The
Closing  Balance Sheet  indicated a final purchase price of  approximately  $141
million.  The  Closing  Balance  Sheet is subject  to review by Zenith,  and the
determination  of the final  purchase  price is subject to a dispute  resolution
process.  Accordingly,  the  ultimate  final  purchase  price  has not yet  been
determined,  and may differ  materially from the amount indicated by the Closing
Balance Sheet.  The final purchase price,  less the $35 million paid at closing,
will be payable in cash.

                    UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION



The following  unaudited pro forma balance sheet  estimates the pro forma effect
of the sale to Zenith as if the sale and the  transactions  contemplated  in the
Asset Purchase  Agreement had been  consummated on March 31, 1998. The following
unaudited pro forma income  statements  estimate the pro forma income statements
based on the pro  forma  effects  of the sale as if such  sale had  occurred  on
January 1, 1997. The pro forma  adjustments are described in the following notes
and are based  upon  available  information  and  certain  assumptions  that the
Company believes are reasonable. The pro forma data may not be indicative of the
results of operations and financial position of the Company, as it may be in the
future or as it might  have been had the  transaction  been  consummated  on the
respective dates assumed. The information should be read in conjunction with the
Company's  historical  financial  statements and  accompanying  notes previously
filed in RISCORP's  Form 10-K for the year ended  December  31, 1997,  the Proxy
Statement  dated  March 3, 1998 and the Form 10-Q/A for the three  months  ended
March 31, 1998.

The proposed  purchase price of the Company reflected in the pro forma financial
information  is the  excess  of the  Transferred  Assets  over  the  Transferred
Liabilities  (as such terms are defined in the Asset Purchase  Agreement) of the
Company on the  Closing  Date as  determined  by the audited  Proposed  Business
Balance Sheet of the Company  prepared in  conformity  with  generally  accepted
accounting  principles which have been consistently applied. The actual purchase
price of the net assets of the Company and its  subsidiaries  acquired by Zenith
will be based on the Final Business  Balance Sheet,  as determined in accordance
with the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement,  subject to the minimum purchase
price of $35.0 million.  The final purchase price is subject to review by Zenith
and a dispute resolution process;  therefore, the final purchase price cannot be
determined  at this  time and may  differ  materially  from the  purchase  price
reflected in the pro forma consolidated balance sheet presented below.

1.    Pro Forma Balance Sheet Adjustments for Sale

     The pro forma balance sheet reflects a receivable  from Zenith at March 31,
     1998  for  the  net  receivable  from  the  asset  sale  in the  amount  of
     $141,054,795  based  on  the  amounts  contained  on the  audited  Proposed
     Business  Balance  Sheet.  These  proceeds  from the sale will be allocated
     among the Company and those  subsidiaries also selling assets in connection
     with the sale  transaction.  The proceeds  from the sale are expected to be
     received by RISCORP as follows:

               $25.0 million was paid to the Company on the Closing Date,  April
               1, 1998.

               $10.0  million was placed,  on the Closing  Date,  in an interest
               bearing escrow account.

               Not later than 135 days after the Closing Date (August 13, 1998),
              Zenith is required to pay in cash the remaining  purchase price to
              RISCORP,  plus  interest  thereon of 6.13 percent from the Closing
              Date through the final payment date,  less the  additional  amount
              required to be deposited  into escrow.  This final payment will be
              based on the Final Business Balance Sheet and is subject to review
              by Zenith and a dispute  resolution  process.  The final  purchase
              price cannot be determined at this time and may differ  materially
              from the purchase  price  reflected in the pro forma  consolidated
              balance sheet presented above.

               The additional amount to be escrowed from the remaining  purchase
              price will be that amount necessary to increase the escrow balance
              to an  amount  equal  to 15  percent  of  the  purchase  price  as
              determined by the Final Business Balance Sheet. The amount of cash
              that is  estimated  to be held in escrow  (excluding  interest) is
              $21.2  million  based on the  audited  Proposed  Business  Balance
              Sheet.  The  escrowed  funds  will be  invested  in United  States
              government  debt  obligations  or in money market funds secured by
              such debt obligations.  Interest income on the escrowed funds will
              be paid to the Company at the end of each  calendar  quarter.  The
              escrowed  funds  will be  disbursed  pursuant  to the terms of the
              Escrow  Agreement  and are  expected  to be  paid  to the  Company
              twenty-four (24) months from the Closing Date.

     The  Company  will  transfer  all of its  assets and  liabilities  from its
     insurance  operations  and will retain  certain  assets and  liabilities as
     follows:

               $141.1 million in receivable from Zenith from the sale.

               Security  investments  adequate to meet the  minimum  capital and
              surplus  requirements  of  the  insurance   subsidiaries  totaling
              approximately $11.4 million.

               $22.4 million of deferred tax assets that are currently  expected
              to be  primarily  recovered  from the  reversal of certain  timing
              differences that will occur as a result of the sale to Zenith. The
              conversion  of this  deferred  tax asset to cash is  projected  to
              occur within 18 months after the date of the sale.

               $8.7  million  of  insurance   recoveries   relating  to  certain
              litigation settlements and other miscellaneous recoverables.

               $5.1 million of prepaid items, fixed assets and restricted cash.

               $12.3 million of employee related accruals, certain restructuring
              accruals,  accrued  expenses  for one  time  charges  incurred  in
              connection with the sale, post closing expenses, notes payable and
              taxes payable.

               $21.5 million of accrued litigation settlements.

1.    Pro Forma Adjustment for the Statements of Operations

     The pro forma  income  statements  reflect  adjustments  as if the sale had
     occurred  on January 1, 1997.  After the sale is  consummated,  the Company
     will no longer have any insurance  operations or other operating  entities.
     All  activities  will be focused on concluding the business of the Company,
     the sale of the  insurance  subsidiaries,  the  defense of  lawsuits  filed
     against  the  Company  and the  eventual  liquidation  of the assets to the
     shareholders.

     The Company is required to establish  an escrow  account in an amount equal
     to 15% of the cash  proceeds  of the sale.  These funds will be invested in
     United States  government debt obligations or in money market funds secured
     by such  debt  obligations  with a  duration  of up to two  years  from the
     Closing  Date, in accordance  with the terms of the Escrow  Agreement.  The
     Company  projects it will realize a yield of 5.0% on the amounts  placed in
     the escrow account. The remaining 85% of the proceeds from the sale will be
     invested  in U.S.  Treasury  securities  similar  to  those  in the  escrow
     account.  The Company projects it will realize a yield of 5.5% on the other
     invested  balances  beginning  135 days after the Closing  Date (see Note 1
     above). Post closing,  the Company will liquidate its investment  portfolio
     to the extent that operating and other costs exceed the  investment  income
     generated by the invested assets.

     The pro forma income statements  reflect  projected  interest income on the
     retained security investments noted in Note 1.

     The Company expects that its statutory tax rates for the periods covered by
     these pro forma  statements  will be zero due to tax benefits  that will be
     realized by the Company due to the sale transaction.

     The Company's estimate (in thousands) of certain one time charges resulting

                                                               $9,396

3.    Post Closing Expenses

     The Company  anticipates  that the post closing  expenses will be primarily
     related to the ongoing administration of the three insurance  subsidiaries,
     the parent  company and expenses to conclude the business of the Company as
     discussed in Note 2.

     The Company will have continued  obligations in connection with the payment
     of certain June 1997 restructuring  costs through the post closing year, in
     addition to the costs  associated  with the settlement of the various legal
     proceedings.

</TABLE>

     The pro  forma  income  statement  for the year  ended  December  31,  1997
     reflects estimated litigation  settlements of $23.475 million and estimated
     insurance  recoveries of $10.0  million  resulting in a net cost of $13.475
     million.  The  settlements  are more fully  described in the Company's Form
     10-K filed on March 27, 1998.

     The Company has contracted with finance, accounting,  legal, tax, audit and
     actuarial  professionals  for their  services  to fulfill  most of the post
     closing  functions.  Audit and actuarial  costs include cost estimates from
     the Company's  independent  accountants and actuaries for the completion of
     the audit and loss reserve  certification of the Proposed  Business Balance
     Sheet.

     As part of the closing,  Zenith  entered into an  assumption  and indemnity
     reinsurance   agreement  with  each  of  the  Company's   three   insurance
     subsidiaries. This form of reinsurance will not require the Company to have
     any involvement in the insurance operations that were sold.
