NOTE A - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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.
Such principles were applied on a basis consistent with those reflected in the
Company's report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998. 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 periods. Operating results for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1999. Certain
reclassifications have been made in the 1998 financial statements to conform to
the 1999 presentation. For further information refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998. Capitalized terms used herein
without definition have the meanings ascribed to them in the Company's report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.


NOTE B - PREFERRED SHARES

The Company's Series A Preferred Shares (the "Preferred Shares") are entitled to
a cumulative dividend of 9.5% per annum on the issue price of the shares. The
dividend is payable solely in additional Preferred Shares issued and redeemable
at $100 per share. No dividend has been declared at September 30, 1999, but a
provision for the cumulative dividend at September 30, 1999 has been recorded as
an appropriation of retained deficit.


NOTE C - INVESTMENTS

At September 30, 1999, the Company had fixed maturity securities available for
sale with a carrying value of $86,598,933 and an amortized cost of $87,845,306
and balances with independent investment managers with a carrying value and a
fair value of $27,358,286. At December 31, 1998, the Company had fixed maturity
securities available for sale with a carrying value of $18,306,720 and an
amortized cost of $17,946,934 and balances with independent investment managers
with a carrying value and a fair value of $77,197,580. The amounts invested with
independent investment managers are, with certain limited exceptions,
withdrawable at least annually, subject to applicable notice requirements.

During the third quarter of 1999, the Company liquidated a substantial portion
of its investments in vehicles of independent investment managers and reinvested
$75,159,000 of the proceeds in preferred and common securities of a special
purpose limited liability company (the "LLC"), the assets of which are invested
in similar vehicles. Ninety percent of the Company's investment in the LLC
consists of redeemable preferred securities carrying a cumulative fixed dividend
of 15.5% per annum. At September 30, 1999, the initial investment in the
preferred securities has been included in the carrying value of fixed maturity
securities.

Period From January 27, 1998 to September 30, 1998

Underwriting Income. Premiums for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 were
$6.4 million as compared to $132.8 million for the period ended September 30,
1998. Premiums in the first nine months of 1999 were derived from a workers'
compensation quota share reinsurance agreement with Safety National Casualty
Corporation ("Safety National"). Premiums in the period ended September 30, 1998
were derived primarily from workers' compensation aggregate excess of loss
reinsurance assumed from Safety National in the amount of $82.1 million, from
the group long-term disability quota share reinsurance assumed from Reliance
Standard Life Insurance Company ("RSL") in the amount of $39.8 million and from
professional liability aggregate excess reinsurance assumed in the amount of
$10.9 million.

Investment Income (Loss). Investment income for the nine months ended September
30, 1999 was $16.7 million as compared to an investment loss of $9.9 million for
the period ended September 30, 1998. The Company's investment results during
these periods have primarily been derived from the performance of investment
vehicles of independent investment managers. Investment income for the 1999
period primarily resulted from a recovery in numerous sectors of the global
financial markets, which impacted positively upon the performance of the
investment portfolios of the independent investment managers. Losses in the 1998
period were primarily caused by declines in numerous sectors of the financial
markets during the second and third quarters of 1998.

During the third quarter of 1999, the Company liquidated a substantial portion
of its investments in vehicles of independent investment managers and reinvested
the proceeds in certain preferred and common securities. See Note C to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.

Underwriting and Other Expenses. Losses and loss expenses for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 were $9.6 million as compared to $126.0 million for the
period ended September 30, 1998. Losses and loss expenses in the first nine
months of 1999 primarily reflect the provision for losses assumed under the
workers' compensation quota share reinsurance agreement with Safety National and
the accretion of the discounted values of existing reserves. Losses and loss
expenses incurred for the period ended September 30, 1998 include the discounted
value of the loss portfolios assumed under the reinsurance agreements with
Safety National and RSL.

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


Underwriting and acquisition expenses totaled $5.7 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 as compared to $7.7 million in the period ended
September 30, 1998. Underwriting and acquisition expenses in the 1999 period
reflect $5.3 million of profit sharing commissions payable under the Safety
National and RSL reinsurance agreements for the period from inception through
September 30, 1999. Underwriting and acquisition expenses of $7.7 million in the
1998 period include ceding commissions of $4.8 million, profit sharing
commissions and other underwriting expenses of $1.6 million and federal excise
taxes of $1.3 million related to the reinsurance agreements with Safety National
and RSL.

Interest expense and other operating expenses for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 totaled $3.5 million as compared to $3.1 million in the
period ended September 30, 1998. This increase primarily reflects a full nine
month period of operations in 1999.

Three Months Ended September 30, 1999 Compared to
Three Months Ended September 30, 1998

Underwriting Income. Premiums for the third quarter of 1999 of $2.3 million were
derived from a workers' compensation quota share reinsurance agreement with
Safety National. Premiums for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 of $12.0
million were derived from professional liability aggregate excess reinsurance
and excess workers' compensation reinsurance.

Investment Income (Loss). Investment income for the third quarter of 1999 was
$3.9 million as compared with an investment loss of $16.1 million in the third
quarter of 1998. The Company's investment results for the third quarter of 1999
are derived primarily from accumulated dividends on certain preferred
securities. See Note C to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Losses in the
third quarter of 1998 were derived primarily from the performance of investment
vehicles of independent investment managers and were caused by significant
declines in numerous sectors of the financial markets during the quarter.

Underwriting and Other Expenses. Losses and loss expenses of $3.2 million in the
third quarter of 1999 primarily reflect the provision for losses assumed under
the workers' compensation quota share reinsurance agreement with Safety National
and the accretion of the discounted values of existing reserves. Losses and loss
expenses of $13.5 million in the third quarter of 1998 reflect a loss reserve
provision for the professional liability aggregate excess reinsurance referred
to above as well as the accretion of the discounted values of existing reserves.

Underwriting and acquisition expenses totaled $0.9 million in the third quarter
of 1999 and reflects $0.8 million of profit sharing commissions payable under
the Safety National and RSL reinsurance agreements.

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


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's current liquidity needs at the holding company level include
funding operating expenses, interest payments on the Subordinated Notes and the
repayment of incorporation expenses paid by Delphi Financial Group, Inc. At the
Company's option, the Company may pay interest on the Subordinated Notes in
additional Subordinated Notes in lieu of cash payments during any five-year
period. In the nine-month period to September 30, 1999, $1.4 million of interest
due on the Subordinated Notes was paid by the issuance of additional
Subordinated Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $1.4 million. As of
September 30, 1999, the Company had $14.2 million in financial assets at the
holding company level. The Company's other source of liquidity at the holding
company level consists of dividends from its insurance subsidiary, Oracle Re.
Dividend payments by Oracle Re to the Company are subject to certain Bermuda
regulatory restrictions as well as contractual restrictions. Under the LOC
Agreement, dividends by Oracle Re in any fiscal year may generally not exceed
the greater of (a) 50% of Oracle Re's statutory net income for the preceding
fiscal year and (b) the lesser of (i) $3,000,000 and (ii) Oracle Re's statutory
net income for the preceding fiscal year. Such restriction does not permit the
payment of dividends by Oracle Re in 1999.

The principal liquidity requirement of Oracle Re, in addition to funding
operating expenses, is the fulfillment of the obligations under its reinsurance
agreements. The primary source of funding for these obligations, in addition to
operating earnings, is the net cash flow from the investments included in Oracle
Re's investment portfolio. Each of Oracle Re's reinsurance agreements written in
the period to December 31, 1998 involved a one-time payment to Oracle Re at
inception and does not provide for ongoing reinsurance premiums. In May 1999,
Oracle Re and RSL agreed to the partial recapture of approximately 35% of the
group long term disability liabilities ceded to Oracle Re under its quota share
reinsurance agreement with RSL. In connection with the partial recapture by RSL
of these liabilities, $10 million in cash, the amount of the reserves
recaptured, was transferred to RSL.

In addition to Oracle Re's current liquidity requirements, Oracle Re is required
to provide collateral security with respect to letters of credit outstanding
under the LOC Agreement and otherwise. Under the LOC Agreement, the collateral
maintenance requirement is equal to up to 140% of the amount of the outstanding
letters of credit which percentage is scheduled to increase to 145% in January
2000. In the event that sufficient collateral cannot be maintained relative to
these requirements, Oracle Re may be required to negotiate with its reinsureds
to reduce the size of the reinsurance transactions, thereby decreasing the
amounts of letters of credit and related collateral requirements under the LOC
Agreement. Moreover, if Oracle Re were unable to furnish sufficient collateral
or otherwise were to fail to satisfy any covenant or requirement under the LOC
Agreement, it may be required to liquidate all or a substantial portion of its
investment portfolio or otherwise secure its obligations under its reinsurance
agreements, which would likely have a material adverse effect on the business
and operations of the Company.

The Company believes that the sources of funding available at the holding
company and insurance subsidiary levels, respectively, will be adequate to
satisfy on both a short-term and long-term basis the companies' applicable
liquidity requirements.


IMPACT OF YEAR 2000

All of the Company's computer related systems are furnished by its third party
administrative services provider, a substantial and reputable firm which
provides similar services to other Bermuda based insurance companies. This firm

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


has provided the Company with an assurance that it has completed its Year 2000
assessment, and that its computer related systems are currently Year 2000
compliant, although such systems are, in this regard, subject to any further
modifications which may be advised by its computer related systems suppliers.
The Company's third party administrative services provider plans to continue to
monitor and test its critical systems for Year 2000 compliance throughout the
remainder of 1999. The Company has also requested assurances of Year 2000
compliance from its other significant business partners and vendors in an effort
to resolve any potential problems with the products and services they provide.
In most cases, alternative vendors could be utilized in the event Year 2000
compliance problems are encountered. If the computer systems of the Company's
administrative services provider failed due to the Year 2000 issue, the Company
plans to return to manual operations on an interim basis until the problem is
resolved. The costs of the Company's activities relating to the Year 2000 issue
have not been and are not expected to be material to the Company's financial
condition or results of operations. The Company does not believe that the Year
2000 issue will have a material effect on its operations; however, no assurance
can be given in this regard.


MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes in the Company's exposure to market risk or
its management of such risk since December 31, 1998.


CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION

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 its readers regarding certain forward-looking statements in the
foregoing discussions and elsewhere in the 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. Some forward-looking
statements may be identified by the use of terms such as "expects," "believes,"
"anticipates," "intends," or "judgment." 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 changes in global economic and financial
conditions and markets, the Company's investment strategy and implementation
thereof, the performance of the Company's investment portfolio, the ability of
the Company to generate new business opportunities and submissions, changes in
insurance or other laws and regulations or governmental interpretations thereof,
and the ability of the Company's or significant third parties' computer systems
to process correctly dates in and after the year 2000. These uncertainties 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.

         exemption, authorization, or other action by, or notice to, or filing
         with, any Governmental Authority which has not been obtained, taken or

         this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party
         or (ii) the Parent or the Subsidiary Pledgor of any Transaction
         Document to which it is a party.

                  5.4 Binding Effect. This Agreement and each other Transaction
         Document to which the Company is a party constitute the legal, valid
         and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company
         in accordance with their respective terms, except as enforceability may
         be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws
         affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally or by
         equitable principles relating to enforceability. Each Transaction
         Document to which the Parent or the Subsidiary Pledgor is a party
         constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Parent or
         the Subsidiary Pledgor, as applicable, enforceable against the Parent
         or Subsidiary Pledgor, as applicable, in accordance with their
         respective terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable
         bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws affecting the enforcement of
         creditors' rights generally or by equitable principles relating to
         enforceability.

                  5.5 Litigation. Except as specifically disclosed in Schedule
         5.5, there are no actions, suits, proceedings, claims or disputes
         pending, or to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened or
         contemplated, at law, in equity, in arbitration or before any
         Governmental Authority, against the Company, the Parent, any Investment
         Subsidiary or any of their respective properties which: (a) purport to
         affect or pertain to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any
         of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; or (b) would
         reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No
         injunction, writ, temporary restraining order or other order of any
         nature has been issued by any court or other Governmental Authority
         purporting to enjoin or restrain the execution, delivery or performance

         the transactions provided for herein or therein not be consummated as
         herein or therein provided.

                  5.6 No Default. No Event of Default or Unmatured Event of
         Default exists or would result from the incurring of any Obligations by
         the Company. Neither the Company, the Parent nor any Investment
         Subsidiary is in default under or with respect to any Contractual
         Obligation in any respect which, individually or together with all such
         defaults, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
         Effect or create an Event of Default under subsection 8.1(e).

         Subsidiary have filed all Federal, State, foreign and other material
         tax returns and reports required to be filed, and have


                                        5

         paid all Federal, State, foreign and other material taxes, assessments,
         fees and other governmental charges levied or imposed upon them or
         their properties, income or assets otherwise due and payable, except
         those which are being contested in good faith by appropriate
         proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been provided in
         accordance with GAAP and SAP. There is no proposed tax assessment
         against the Company, the Parent or any Investment Subsidiary that
         would, if made, have a Material Adverse Effect.

                  5.12 Environmental Matters. Except as specifically disclosed
         in Schedule 5.12, neither any non-compliance with any Environmental
         Laws nor any liability under any Environmental Laws, nor all
         Environmental Claims, in each case as in effect on or prior to the
         Closing Date, on or with respect to the business, operations and
         properties of the Company, the Parent or any Investment Subsidiary
         could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have
         a Material Adverse Effect.

                  5.14 No Burdensome Restrictions. Neither the Company, the
         Parent nor any Investment Subsidiary is a party to or bound by any
         Contractual Obligation, or subject to any restriction in any
         Organization Document, or any Requirement of Law, which could
         reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                  5.16 Insurance. The properties of the Company, the Parent and
         each Investment Subsidiary are insured with financially sound and
         reputable insurance companies not Related Parties of the Company, in
         such amounts, with such deductibles and covering such risks as are
         customarily carried by companies engaged in similar businesses and
         owning similar properties in localities where the Company, the Parent
         or any Investment Subsidiary operates.

                  5.18 Full Disclosure. None of the representations or
         warranties made by the Company, the Parent or any Investment Subsidiary
         in the Loan Documents as of the date such representations and
         warranties are made or deemed made, and none of the written statements
         contained in any exhibit, report, statement or certificate furnished by
         or on behalf of the Company, the Parent or any Investment Subsidiary in
         connection with the Transaction Documents (including, without
         limitation, the Form S-1 and the other offering and disclosure
         materials delivered by or on behalf of the Company to the Banks prior
         to the Closing Date), contains any untrue statement of a material fact
         or omits any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
         to make such representation, warranty or written statement, in light of
         the circumstances under which it is made, not misleading as of the time
         when made or delivered.

                  5.20 First Priority Security Interest. The Agent, for the
         benefit of the Banks, has a first priority perfected security interest
         (i) in the Collateral pledged by the Company pursuant to the Security
         Agreement, (ii) in the Collateral pledged by the Parent pursuant to the
         Parent Security Agreement, and (iii) in the Collateral pledged by the
         Subsidiary Pledgor pursuant to the Subsidiary Pledgor Security

the addition of the following at the end:

                  "5.21 Year 2000. (a) The Parent uses the services of a third
         party administrative services provider which has conducted a Year 2000
         assessment on behalf of Parent and various subsidiaries of Parent,
         including the Company. Such administrator conducts similar services for
         other Bermuda based insurance companies. The administrator has provided
         the Company and the Parent with an assurance that all of their computer
         related systems are Year 2000 compliant.

                  (b) The Parent has also requested assurances of Year 2000
         compliance from its key vendors and customers (and those of the
         Company). In most cases, alternative vendors could be used should Year
         2000 problems be encountered. Additionally, the Parent is currently
         developing appropriate contingency plans in the event any of the
         computer systems of its administrative services provider, business
         partners or vendors are not Year 2000 compliant.

                  (c) The Company and the Parent believe they are taking
         commercially reasonable steps to address Year 2000 compliance."
