                           FPIC INSURANCE GROUP, INC.

                 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

FPIC Insurance Group, Inc. (the Company) is a Florida corporation formed by
Florida Physicians Insurance Company, Inc. (FPIC) to serve as a holding
corporation for FPIC and other subsidiaries. On June 11, 1996, FPIC and the
Company consummated a Reorganization which generally provided that each share of
common stock of FPIC, par value $1 per share, would be exchanged for five shares
of common stock of the Company, par value $.10 per share.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, FPIC and McCreary Corporation,
including its subsidiary, Employers Mutual, Inc., which was acquired on January
17, 1997, together referred to as McCreary, and have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring
accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 1997. These consolidated financial statements and notes should be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the
audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended
December 31, 1996, which were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on Form 10-K on March 26, 1997.


2.  LOSS AND LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSE LIABILITY

The liability for loss and loss adjustment expenses represents management's best
estimate of the ultimate cost of all losses incurred but unpaid. The estimated
liability is continually reviewed and any adjustments which become necessary are
included in current income. Incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses for the
six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 were principally determined by
considering prior loss experience, loss trends, the Company's loss retention
levels, and changes in frequency and severity of claims.

3.  INCOME TAXES

Income taxes were accounted for under the asset and liability method. Income tax
expense differs from the normal relationship to financial statement income
principally because of tax exempt interest income.

4.  INVESTMENTS

Proceeds from sales of investments available-for-sale were $44,437,348 and
$39,463,681 during the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

Gross realized gains and (losses) from sales of debt securities based on
specific identification, were $25,342 and ($79,583); and $23,463 and ($59,179)
for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

The amortized cost of investments in securities available-for-sale was
$244,399,620 and $234,528,705 as of June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996,
respectively.

5.  BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

On July 1, 1995, McCreary Corporation acquired the assets of McCreary
Enterprises, Inc., a Florida third party administrator, for a cost of $2,000,000
plus certain additional payments based upon earnings. The acquisition agreement
specified additional payments, based upon earnings, to be made to the seller
from 1996 through 2000. Since projected earnings were attained for the
twelve-month period ended June 30, 1996, the Company paid an additional
$1,000,000 in 1996. Also, projected earnings were attained for the twelve-month
period ended June 30, 1997 and the $900,000 payment will be made in 1997.

On January 17, 1997, McCreary Corporation acquired all of the outstanding common
stock of Employers Mutual, Inc. (EMI), a Florida third party administrator, for
a cost of $1,250,000 plus certain additional payments based upon earnings. The
earnings of EMI are not material to the consolidated results of the Company. The
acquisition agreement specified additional payments, based upon earnings, to be
made to the selling shareholders from 1997 through 2000.

The remaining payments for these two acquisitions are as follows:

These payments are subject to adjustment in accordance with the agreements based
on attainment of projected annual earnings from the date of acquisition through
2000. No individual annual payment will exceed the annual earnings, and may be
reduced if the projected earnings are not attained for that year. The agreements
allow for an additional final payment based on the aggregate earnings compared
to the aggregate projected earnings during the earnout period. The effect of
these subsequent payments is to increase the original purchase price and the
recorded goodwill.

6.  REINSURANCE

The Company presently has excess of loss reinsurance contracts that serve to
limit the Company's maximum loss to $500,000 per occurrence. To the extent that
any reinsurer is unable to meet its obligations, the Company would be liable for
such defaulted amounts not covered by letters of credit, which the Company
obtains from reinsurers that are not designated as authorized reinsurers by the
Florida Department of Insurance.

7.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is involved in numerous legal actions arising primarily from claims
made insurance policies. The legal actions arising from claims made insurance
policies have been considered by the Company in establishing its reserves. While
the outcomes of all legal actions are not presently determinable, the Company's
management is of the opinion that the settlement of these actions will not have
a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.

                           FPIC INSURANCE GROUP, INC.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

For purposes of this management discussion and analysis, "Company" refers to
FPIC Insurance Group, Inc., a holding company, and its consolidated
subsidiaries, "FPIC" refers only to Florida Physicians Insurance Company, Inc.,
and "McCreary" refers to McCreary Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Employers Mutual, Inc. (EMI). EMI was acquired on January 17, 1997. All amounts
in this management discussion and analysis have been rounded to the nearest
$100,000.

The Company's primary sources of revenue are dividends from its subsidiaries.
The primary sources of revenues for these dividends are premium earned and
investment income derived from the insurance operations of FPIC, and fee and
commission income from McCreary. The Company concentrates on liability insurance
products for the healthcare community, with medical professional liability (MPL)
insurance for physicians and dentists as its primary product. The Company,
through FPIC, writes MPL insurance on a claims-made basis, which provides
protection to the insured against only those claims that arise out of incidents
occurring and of which notice to the insurer is given while coverage is
effective.

On January 17, 1997, McCreary acquired all of the outstanding stock of EMI, a
third party administrator of self-insured managed care health plans in Florida
and Texas, for $1,250,000, with additional payments up to $1,000,000 if
specified earnings targets are met over the next four years. EMI had 1996
revenues in excess of $3 million and its primary market consists of hospitals
and provider-sponsored delivery organizations.

On July 1, 1997, the Company completed the purchase of a 20 percent interest in
APS Insurance Services, Inc. (APS) for $2 million, with the option to purchase
an additional 35 percent within two years. The primary source of revenue for APS
is fee income from its subsidiary that manages the business of a medical
professional liability company domiciled in Texas. This interest will allow
FPIC, recently licensed in Texas, an opportunity to expand its market potential
in that state.

The Company's financial position and results of operations are subject to
fluctuations due to a variety of factors. Unexpectedly high frequency or
severity of losses in any period would have a material adverse effect on the
Company. Additionally, reevaluations of the Company's loss and loss adjustment
expense (LAE) reserves could result in an increase or decrease in reserves and a
corresponding adjustment to earnings. The Company's historical results of
operations are not necessarily indicative of future results.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE
MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996.

Premiums

Direct premium written increased $2.2 million, or 14.1%, from $15.6 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1996 to $17.8 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1997. Net premium earned increased $2.4 million, or 17.5%, from $13.7
million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 to $16.1 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1997. These increases were primarily due to an increase in
the number of insureds and a rate increase of 2.4% on physician MPL premiums
effective January 1, 1997.

Net Investment Income

Net investment income increased $0.3 million, or 8.8%, from $3.4 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1996 to $3.7 million for the three months ended June
30, 1997. The increase is due to an increase in invested assets, primarily in
tax-exempt securities.

Claims Administration Fees and Commission Income

This income is generated by McCreary and its subsidiary, EMI. Claims
administration fees are revenues generated by McCreary's core business, which is
the administration of self-insured programs for large employers, primarily in
the health and workers compensation area. Neither McCreary nor the Company
assumes any risk on these products; the risk is assumed by each employer and any
excess coverage desired is placed by McCreary with various insurers and
reinsurers. All the commission income was generated from the placement of this
excess coverage by McCreary.

Claims administration fees and commission income doubled, from $1.1 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1996 to $2.2 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1997. This increase is attributable to the addition of new contracts
and the inclusion of the EMI revenue of $1.0 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1997.

Net Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses (LAE)

Net losses and LAE increased $3.0 million, or 28.6%, from $10.5 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1996 to $13.5 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1997, reflecting primarily an increase in insured exposures. The loss
and LAE ratios were 76.5% for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 84.1% for
the three months ended June 30, 1997. The low loss ratio for the three months
ended June 30, 1996 reflects an adjustment to release additional loss and LAE
reserves for prior years. Prior to becoming a public company on August 1, 1996,
the Company did not allocate its expected annual reserve redundancy evenly among
such year's fiscal quarters. The Company currently estimates its anticipated
reserve redundancy for the year based on a continual analysis of frequency and
severity trends, and allocates it evenly over the quarters.

<PAGE>   11

Any negative development, however, would be recorded in the quarter when a
change in trends becomes known.

Claims Administration Expenses

These expenses relate entirely to the operation of McCreary, and doubled from
$1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 to $2.0 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1997. This increase was primarily attributable to
the addition of the EMI operations ($0.8 million) and an increase in the core
operations of McCreary.

Net Income

Net income did not change significantly in the three months ended June 30, 1997
when compared to the same period in 1996. Net income per common share (fully
diluted) decreased $0.05, or 10.6%, from $0.47 per share for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 to $0.42 per share. Quarter over quarter comparisons do not
accurately reflect trends since the 1996 results are prior to the Company going
public, when expenses were not fully allocated on a quarterly basis.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS
ENDED JUNE 30, 1996

Premiums

Direct premium written increased $7.4 million, or 19.4%, from $38.1 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1996 to $45.5 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1997. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in 1997
in the number of insureds, an increase in the average premium per insured, and
$0.8 million of new premium written in Texas. Reinsurance premium ceded
increased $0.8 million, or 22.9 %, from $3.5 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 to $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 because of
increased premium and the addition of the premium in Texas. Net premium earned
increased $5.0 million, or 18.8%, from $26.6 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 to $31.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 for the
foregoing reasons.

Net Investment Income

Net investment income increased $1.0 million, or 15.4%, from $6.5 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1996 to $7.5 million for the six months ended June
30, 1997. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the amount
of invested assets and the high level of current return in the portfolio. This
was partially offset by a decrease in the current yield, as the Company
increased its investment in tax-exempt securities.

The Company's current investment strategy is to acquire investment grade fixed
income securities with an average modified duration of less than five years. The
Company's intention is to acquire and hold any fixed income investment to
maturity unless management believes there is a clear 


                                       11
<PAGE>   12

economic advantage to sell the security. This strategy is intended to minimize
the portfolio's overall volatility.

Claims Administration Fees and Commission Income

Claims administration fees and commission income increased $2.0 million, or 
90.9%, from $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 to $4.2 
million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. This increase was attributable 
to the addition of new contracts and the inclusion of the EMI revenue of $1.9 
million for the six month period ended June 30, 1997.

Other Income

Other income, comprised principally of finance charges on premiums internally
financed by the Company, increased $0.5 million, or 55.6%, from $0.9 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1996 to $1.4 million for the six months ended June
30, 1997. This increase was primarily attributable to the increase in the amount
of premium financed and the absence of expenses incurred in 1996 related to the
reorganization of the Company into a holding company.

Net Losses and Loss Adjustment Expense (LAE)

Net losses and LAE increased $4.0 million, or 17.6%, from $22.7 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1996 to $26.7 million for the six months ended June
30, 1997 reflecting in part the increase in insured exposures in 1997. The loss
ratios of 85.3% for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 84.6% for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 reflect the stability FPIC has experienced in its
loss trends in recent years. The Company currently estimates its anticipated
reserve redundancy for the year based on a continual analysis of frequency and
severity trends, and allocates it evenly over the quarters. Any negative
development, however, would be recorded in the quarter when a change in trends
becomes known.

Other Operating Expenses

Other operating expenses increased $0.2 million, or 6.9%, from $2.9 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1996 to $3.1 million for the six months ended June
30, 1997. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in commission
expense to agents and general and administrative expenses.

Claims Administrative Expenses

These expenses relate entirely to the operations of McCreary, and increased $1.9
million, from $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 to $3.9
million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. This increase was primarily
attributable to the addition of the EMI operation, which added $1.6 million in
expenses and an increase in the core operations of McCreary.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The payment of losses, LAE, and operating expenses in the ordinary course of
business is the principal need for the Company's liquid funds. Cash used to pay
these items has been provided by operating activities. Cash provided from these
activities was $14.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 1997 and was
sufficient to meet the Company's needs. Management believes these sources will
be sufficient to meet the Company's cash needs for operating purposes for at
least the next twelve months. However, a number of factors could cause increases
in the dollar amount of losses and LAE paid and may, therefore, adversely affect
future reserve development and cash flow needs. Management believes these
factors include, among others, inflation, changes in medical procedures,
increasing influence of managed care and adverse legislative changes. The
Company did not borrow any funds in the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1997.

Dividends payable by FPIC to the Company are subject to certain limitations
imposed by Florida law. In 1997, FPIC is permitted, within insurance regulatory
guidelines, to pay dividends to the Company of approximately $10.4 million
without regulatory approval.
