ITEM 2:  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

As previously reported, on October 6, 1995, Zenith National Insurance Corp.
("Zenith") and Anchor National Life Insurance Company ("Anchor"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of SunAmerica, Inc., entered into a Stock Acquisition Agreement dated
September 19, 1995 (the "Agreement") pursuant to which Zenith agreed to sell to
Anchor, or a designated affiliate of Anchor, all of the issued and outstanding
capital stock of CalFarm Life Insurance Company ("CalFarm Life") for $120
million in cash.  Anchor designated SunAmerica Life Insurance Company as the
affiliate to purchase CalFarm Life.  The closing (the "Closing") of this
transaction occurred on December 28, 1995.

Prior to the Closing, certain assets of CalFarm Life were transferred to CalFarm
Insurance Company ("CalFarm Insurance"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Zenith.
These assets included CalFarm Life's group health insurance business, its
subsidiary, CalFarm Properties, Inc., its shares of common and preferred stock
of Delta Life Corporation and certain real estate and personal property.  In
addition, prior to the Closing CalFarm Life paid a cash dividend to Zenith of
$500,000. For a fee, CalFarm Insurance has agreed to continue to provide
administrative services to CalFarm Life for a period of time not to exceed 6
months.

ITEM 7:  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION  AND EXHIBITS

(b) Pro forma financial information

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet of Zenith
at September 30, 1995 reflects the sale of CalFarm Life, excluding the health
operations and other assets which Zenith is retaining, as if the sale occurred
on that date.  The pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for
the year ended December 31, 1994 and nine months ended September 30, 1995
present Zenith's continuing operations assuming the sale had occurred on
January 1, 1994.

The pro forma information is based upon the historical statements of Zenith
and reflect all material adjustments necessary to reflect the foregoing
assumptions.

The pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results
which actually would have occurred for the periods presented if the sale had
occurred on the dates indicated, nor is it indicative of results which may be
obtained in the future.  The pro forma financial information should be read in
conjunction with the Financial Statements included in Item 8 of Zenith's 1994
Form 10-K.

(c) Exhibits

    2.1  Amendment No. 1 to Stock Acquisition Agreement, dated as of
         December 27, 1995, by and among Anchor National Life Insurance
         Company, SunAmerica Life Insurance Company and Zenith National
         Insurance Corp.
