                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 (UNAUDITED)



NOTE A - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Delphi International Ltd. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Oracle
Reinsurance Company Ltd. ("Oracle") and O.R. Investments Ltd. ("O.R."). Delphi
International Ltd. and its subsidiaries are herein collectively referred to as
the "Company". All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated. The financial statements included herein were prepared in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
The information furnished includes all adjustments and accruals of a normal
recurring nature which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
presentation of results for the interim period. Operating results for the period
from January 27, 1998 to March 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1998.

Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Nature of operations The Company commenced underwriting operations in January
1998 through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Oracle Reinsurance Company Ltd., a
Class 3 registered insurance company under the Bermuda Insurance Act 1978.
During the period ended March 31,1998, Oracle entered into loss portfolio
reinsurance agreements with two subsidiaries of Delphi Financial Group, Inc.,
("DFG") involving premiums of $81,000,000 and $39,833,950, respectively.

Premiums Written The reinsurance agreements entered into by the Company involve
the reinsurance of past liabilities and are considered to contain sufficient
element of risk for premiums received to be recognised immediately in the income
statement and for loss portfolios assumed together with commissions and expenses
to be correspondingly recognized immediately as losses incurred and underwriting
and acquisition expenses.

Investments Balances with independent investment managers, which are primarily
investments in investment companies, are accounted for under the equity method
with earnings included in investment income. The carrying value of the balance
with investment managers approximates fair value. Fixed maturity securities are
available for sale and are carried at fair value with changes in fair value
reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity.

Reserves for Outstanding Losses The reserve for outstanding losses represents
the Company's share under its reinsurance contracts of the liability for unpaid
claims and claim expenses which includes amounts determined by the ceding
reinsurers on an individual basis for reported losses and estimates of incurred
but not reported losses developed on the basis of past experience. The reserves
which have been discounted at rates ranging from 5% to 6% are continually
reviewed and updated and any resulting adjustments are reflected in current
earnings.


NOTE B - CAPITAL SECURITIES & LOAN FINANCING

In January 1998 the Company issued rights to each shareholder of DFG to acquire
up to 2,039,507 shares of the Company at $10.25 per share. These shares were
effectively fully subscribed with the shares not initially being taken up by
shareholders of DFG being subscribed for by certain standby purchasers of the
rights offering. The Company received a net amount of $20,254,947 from the
offering after the deduction of $650,000 in expenses. In addition to the capital
raised by the rights offering a further $30,000,000 was advanced to the Company
by members of DFG. These loans bear interest at 9% per annum, payable
semi-annually, and are repayable in January 2028.

NOTE C - INVESTMENTS

At March 31, 1998 the Company had fixed maturity securities available for sale
with a carrying value and a fair value of $4,070,530 and an amortized cost of
$3,952,480. At March 31, 1998, the Company had balances with independent
investment managers with a carrying value and a fair value of $135,897,925.

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


GENERAL

The following is an analysis of the results of operations and financial
condition of Delphi International Ltd. (the "Company", which term includes the
Company and its consolidated subsidiaries unless the context specifies
otherwise). This analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements and related notes included in this document.

In connection with, and because it desires to take advantage of, the "safe
harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the
Company cautions readers regarding certain forward-looking statements in the
following discussion and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and in any other statement
made by, or on behalf of, the Company, whether or not in future filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements are statements
not based on historical information and which relate to future operations,
strategies, financial results or other developments. Forward-looking statements
are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject
to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and
contingencies, many of which are beyond the Company's control and many of which,
with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change. Examples of
such uncertainties and contingencies include, among other important factors,
those affecting the insurance industry generally, such as legislative and
regulatory developments and market pricing and competitive trends, and those
relating specifically to the Company's business, such as the level of its
insurance premium production, the claims experience of its insurance products,
its investment strategy and the performance of its investment portfolio. These
uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual
results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking
statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company. The Company disclaims any
obligation to update forward-looking information.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Underwriting Income. The company commenced underwriting through its wholly owned
subsidiary, Oracle, on January 27, 1998. Premiums written for the period ended
March 31, 1998 were $120.8 million. Premiums derived from the workers'
compensation aggregate excess of loss reinsurance of Safety National Casualty
Corporation ("SNCC") were $81.0 million, and premiums from the quota share
reinsurance of the Reliance Standard Life Insurance Company ("RSL") group long
term disability product were $39.8 million. Oracle will focus on the reinsurance
of group employee benefit insurance products, including group long-term
disability and excess workers' compensation insurance. Oracle intends to expand
its customer base and to develop additional products and services, including the
provision of risk financing products through a facility referred to as a
"rent-a-captive", which is designed to provide insureds with certain of the
benefits available through captive insurance companies without the costs
inherent in establishing and operating their own captive insurance company.

Underwriting Expenses The provisions for losses incurred relating to the SNCC
and RSL contracts for the period ended March 31, 1998 were $81.7 million and
$35.2 million, respectively. Related ceding commission was $4.8 million, profit
sharing commission and other underwriting expenses were $0.7 million and
federal excise tax was $1.2 million. The combined ratio (loss ratio plus
expense ratio) was 102.3% for the period ended March 31, 1998.

Investment Income. Investment income for the period ended March 31, 1998 was
$7.6 million. The annualized yield on invested assets was 29.9%. This yield is
higher than the Company would expect to earn on a long term basis. The Company
made a number of investments during the period, including balances with
independent investment managers, which are primarily investments in investment
companies, and fixed income securities, and intends to focus on a long-term
investment horizon, seeking above-average returns through reinvestment of funds
held for reserves.

Net Income. Net Income for the period ended March 31, 1998, after interest
expense and general and administrative expenses including incorporation and
start up costs of $1.2 million, was $2.8 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

On January 27, 1998, the Company issued rights to each shareholder of DFG to
acquire up to 2,039,507 shares of the Company at $10.25 per share. These shares
were effectively fully subscribed, with the shares not initially taken up by the
shareholders of DFG being subscribed for by certain standby purchasers of the
rights offering. The net proceeds from the offering were $20.3 million after
deduction of $0.6 million of incorporation expenses. In addition to the capital
raised by the rights offering, a further $30.0 million was lent to the Company
by DFG and its subsidiaries.

The Company had $10.9 million of financial resources available at the holding
company level at March 31, 1998, after investing $40.0 million in Oracle. Funds
were received from the rights offering and from loans advanced from DFG and its
subsidiaries. The financial resources available at the holding company level are
primarily composed of investments in fixed income and other marketable
securities. The assets of Oracle are primarily invested with independent
investment managers and marketable securities. Substantially all of the amounts
invested with independent investment managers are withdrawable at least
annually, subject to applicable notice requirements.

The Company's current liquidity needs, in addition to meeting obligations under
reinsurance contracts and funding operating expenses, include repayment of
incorporation expenses paid by DFG and interest payments on the loans from DFG
and its subsidiaries. These loans bear interest at 9.0% per annum payable
semi-annually, and are repayable in January 2028. Sources of liquidity available
to the Company and its subsidiaries are expected to exceed their cash
requirements on both a short-term and long-term basis.
