Stoneville Insurance Company
Notes to Financial Statements
Quarters Ended June 30, 1998 and 1997


1.        Basis of Presentation 

          These interim financial  statements have
          been prepared on the basis of accounting principles used in the annual
          financial  statements  ended  December 31,  1997,  and must be read in
          conjunction  with the 1997  statements.  In the opinion of management,
          the accompanying  interim unaudited  financial  statements contain all
          adjustments  necessary for a fair statement of financial  position and
          results of operations of the Trust for the interim periods.

2.        Plan of Reorganization and Conversion

          A Plan and Agreement of Reorganization and Conversion was entered
          into on September 11, 1997 by and between Delta Agricultural and
          Industrial Trust and Stoneville Insurance Company whereby the Trust
          transferred all of its existing assets and liabilities to Stoneville
          on December 31, 1997 in exchange for stock in Stoneville.  The Trust
          was then liquidated and dissolved with the stock of Stoneville
          distributed to its former members in accordance with the terms
          outlined in the Plan.

3.        Operations of the Company

          The Company was formed to become the successor to the Delta
          Agricultural and Industrial Trust, a Mississippi self-funded workers
          compensation trust.  The Company entered the workers compensation
          market in the first quarter of 1998 as a reinsurer.  The Company
          currently does not write workers compensation insurance on a direct
          basis.

4.        Assets Pledged

          Of the $1,269,444 in securities available-for-sale, $234,921 is
          pledged as collateral for a letter of credit issued to an insurer that
          the Company reinsures on a quota share basis.  A claim can be made
          against the letter of credit if the ceding insurer is unable to pay
          claims from premiums collected by it. It is unlikely that there will
          be such a claim against the letter of credit.

5.        Reserve for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses

          The reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses ("LAE") is
          based upon case reserve reports received from ceding insurance
          companies and the company's own estimates.  Loss and LAE reserves also
          include estimates of incurred but not reported losses based on past
          experience modified for current trends and estimates of expenses for
          investigating and settling claims.  It is the company's policy to
          discount workers' compensation claims on reported and unreported
          losses to present value using an interest rate of 4.5%.  Such discount
          resulted in a reduction in gross loss reserves of $9,078 as of June
          30, 1998.  The reserve for losses and LAE is  attributable  to a quota
          share reinsurance arrangement in which the Company  participates only
          as a reinsurer.  Management believes that the reserve for loss and LAE
          as of June 30, 1998 is adequate to cover ultimate gross cost of losses
          and LAE  incurred through  June 30, 1998.  The  reserve is based on
          estimates of losses and LAE incurred and, therefore, the amount
          ultimately paid may be more or less than such estimates.

6.        Operations of Previously Separate Companies

          As  indicated  in  the  financial  statements, the  information
          presented for the six months and three months ended June 30, 1997  
          represents the combined information from two previously separate  
          companies.  Presented below are the operating results of each entity
          and the intercompany adjustments made as a result of the combination
          combination for the six months ended June 30, 1997.  

                                                       Delta
                                  Stoneville      Agricultural

 Intercompany Interest Income
   Eliminated                                           588



7.        Other Income

          Other Income for the six months ended June 30, 1998 includes
          $57,044 in fees paid to the Company for management of certain
          insurance programs for a ceding carrier. For the six months ended June
          30, 1997, other income represented a loss on the sale of trading
          securities.

8.        Earnings (Loss) Per Share

          Earnings (loss) per common share is based on net income or (loss)
          and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each
          interim period.  The number of shares used in computing  earnings per
          share is 503,384 for the quarter ended June 30, 1998.  No shares were
          issued until December 31, 1997, therefore no earnings per share
          amounts are presented for the period ended June 30, 1997.

Item 2:  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
 Results of Operations


Financial Condition - June 30, 1998 Compared to December 31, 1997

     Total  shareholders' equity  decreased by $97,270 or 4% from $2,013,537 at
December 31, 1997 to $1,916,267 at June 30, 1998.  This decrease was caused by a
net loss from  operations  of  $95,142  for the  first six  months of 1998 and a
decrease in unrealized gain on securities available-for-sale of $2,128.

     Total  assets  decreased  by $27,165 or 1.3% at June 30,  1998  compared to
December 31, 1997. Cash and investments decreased a total of $143,587 during the
six months  ended June 30,  1998 due  primarily  to  limited  revenue  producing
activities  in the first six months of 1998  coupled with the payment of certain
costs  associated with the development of the Company's  claims and risk control
services.  In July of 1998, the Company entered into two agreements with another
insurance carrier.  Under one agreement the Company will service certain workers
compensation  claims on behalf of the other  insurance  carrier in  Mississippi.
Under the other  agreement  the Company will  provide  loss control  services to
certain insureds of the other insurance  carrier.  Additional  expenditures were
made  relating  to the  Plan  of  Reorganization  and  Conversion  of the  Delta
Agricultural and Industrial Trust that became effective December 31, 1997.

     Total liabilities  increased by $70,105 or 59.17% at June 30, 1998 compared
to December 31, 1997.  This increase was due primarily to the purchase of claims
administration  software,  the  payment  for which  was not due until  after the
balance sheet date.
 

     Results of Operations - Quarter and Six Months Ended June 30, 1998 Compared
to Quarter and Six Months Ended June 30, 1997

     The Company  experienced a net loss of $75,019 during the second quarter of
1998 compared to a net loss of $29,432 during the second quarter of 1997. During
the first  quarter of 1998 the Company  entered  into a quota share  reinsurance
arrangement with another insurance carrier in which the Company shares in 25% of
the income  and is  obligated  to pay 25% of the  expenses  associated  with the
business  written  within this  program.  As a result of this  arrangement,  the
Company's  portion  of earned  premium  during  the  second  quarter of 1998 was
$27,576 compared to $0 in 1997.  Losses and loss adjustment  expenses related to
this program were $14,290  during the second  quarter of 1998  compared to $0 in
the same period in 1997.  Other expenses  associated  with this program  totaled
$8,844 during the second quarter of 1998 compared to $0 in the second quarter of
1997.  The Company's share of net income before tax associated with this program
during  the  second  quarter  of 1998 was  $4,442  compared  to $0 in the second
quarter of 1997.

     The Company  experienced a net loss of $95,142  during the six months ended
June 30,1998 compared to a net loss of 73,032 during the same period in 1997. As
a result of the quota  share  reinsurance  arrangement,  the  Company had earned
premium for the six months  ended June 30,  1998 of  $139,872  compared to $0 in
1997.  Losses  and loss  adjustment  expenses  related to this  program  totaled
$79,040 for the first six months of 1998 compared to $0 in 1997.  Other expenses
related  to this  program  totaled  $39,164  for the  first  six  months of 1998
compared to $0 in 1997.  Net income before tax from this program was $21,668 for
the first six months of 1998 compared to $0 in 1997.

     Investment  income of the  Company  decreased  from  $39,178  in the second
quarter of 1997 to $21,282 in the second  quarter of 1998.  This  decrease was a
result  of  having  less  cash to invest  due to the  funding  of an  Assumption
Reinsurance Agreement in December, 1997 in which the Company was relieved of all
of  its  insurance  liabilities  as of  that  date.  In  conjunction  with  this
agreement,  the Company paid a premium of $1,586,463 to the carrier that assumed
the Company's  insurance  liabilities.  The payment of this premium  resulted in
less cash being available for investment during 1998.

     As a result of having less cash  available  to invest as  described  above,
investment  income  of the  Company  for the six  months  ended  June  30,  1998
decreased to $38,845 from $90,856 for the first six months of 1997.



<PAGE>

     The Company  realized  capital gains in the second quarter of 1997 totaling
$844.  No capital  gains or losses were  realized  during the second  quarter of
1998.  The Company  realized  capital  losses of $9,115 for the six months ended
June 30,  1997  compared  to $0 in  capital  gains and losses for the six months
ended June 30, 1998.

     General  expenses  increased  from $98,890 in the second quarter of 1997 to
$168,732  in the same period in 1998.  This  increase  is due  primarily  to the
development  of a claims and risk  control  department  within the Company  that
began  providing  claims and risk  control  services  in July,  1998.  Under one
agreement the Company will service certain workers compensation claims on behalf
of the other  insurance  carrier in  Mississippi.  Under the other agreement the
Company  will provide  loss  control  services to certain  insureds of the other
insurance carrier. For the six months ended June 30, 1998, general expenses were
$277,403  compared to $183,760 for the same period in 1997. This increase is due
primarily to the costs involved in re-entering the commercial  insurance  market
in the first quarter of 1998 including the costs  associated  with the execution
of  certain  reinsurance  agreements  and the  development  of a claims and risk
control department within the Company.

     The Company  recorded an income tax benefit for the quarter  ended June 30,
1998 of  $50,462  compared  to a tax  benefit  for the same  quarter  in 1997 of
$31,938.  The tax  benefit  for the six months  ended June 30,  1998 was $60,828
compared to $40,489 for the six months ended June 30, 1997.  The  increased  tax
benefit  for both the  quarter  and six month  period  ended June 30, 1998 was a
result of larger operating losses  experienced by the Company during this period
in 1998 compared to 1997.
