ITEM 1. BUSINESS

MBA  Holdings,  Inc.  ("the  Company"),  through  its  wholly-owned  subsidiary,
Mechanical  Breakdown  Administrators,  Inc.,  markets and  administers  vehicle
service  contracts  and  extended  warranties.  The  Company  is a  third  party
administrator  for claims  adjudication  and offers  call  center and  technical
computer  services.  The Company assists  dealer/clients in obtaining  insurance
policies from highly rated independent insurance companies for all contracts and
programs  offered.  The insurance  company is then  responsible  for the cost of
repairs or  replacements  for the  contracts  administered  by the Company.  The
Company   administers   extended   warranties  on  automobiles,   light  trucks,
recreational  vehicles  and  automotive  components.  These  products  are  sold
principally  by franchised  and  independent  automobile  dealers,  direct mail,
magazine advertisements and financial institutions.

The terms of the vehicle service  contracts and extended  warranties  range from
twelve  (12) to  eighty-four  (84)  months.  The  Company  acts as a third party
administrator  on behalf of the  dealer/clients  and  insurance  companies.  The
actual repairs and replacements  required under the service contract  agreements
are performed by independent third party authorized repair facilities. While the
dealer/retailer  and the Company are the  sellers of the service  contract,  the
cost of these  repairs  is  borne  by the  insurance  companies  which  have the
ultimate  responsibility  for the claims.  The insurance policy  indemnifies the
dealer/clients  and the Company against losses  resulting from service  contract
claims and  protects the  consumer by ensuring  their  claims will be paid.  The
Company's  service  contract  programs  benefit  consumers with expanded  and/or
extensions of product coverage for a specified period of time (and/or mileage in
the case of automobiles and recreational vehicles),  similar to that provided by
manufacturers  under  the  terms  of their  product  warranties.  Such  coverage
generally provides for the repair or replacement of the product,  or a component
thereof,  in the event of its failure.  The Company's  service contract programs
benefit the dealer/clients by providing enhanced value to the goods and services
they offer. It also provides the  opportunity  for increased  revenue and income
while  outsourcing  the costs and  responsibilities  of  operating  an  extended
warranty program.

On May 9,  1989,  the  principals  of  the  Company  organized  under  the  name
Mechanical Breakdown Administrators, Inc. ("MBA"). During November 1995, MBA and
Brixen  Enterprises,  Inc.  ("Brixen")  merged in a stock  exchange with the MBA
shareholders  retaining  control  of the  merged  company.  Brixen  had  been an
inactive publicly-held shell corporation prior to the November 1995 transaction.
Subsequent to the merger, Brixen changed its name to M.B.A.  Holdings,  Inc. and
its legal domicile from Utah to Nevada.

VEHICLE SERVICE CONTRACTS AND EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAMS

The Company markets and administers  vehicle service  contract  ("VSC") programs
which  enhance  the  profitability  of the sale of  automobiles,  light  trucks,
recreational  vehicles  and  automotive  components.  These  products  are  sold
principally  by franchised  and  independent  automobile  dealers.  The VSC is a
contract between the dealer/lessor and the vehicle  purchaser/lessee that offers
coverage which runs from twelve (12) to eighty-four  (84) months and/or 1,000 to
100,000 miles. Coverage is afforded in the event of the failure of a broad range
of mechanical  components  that occurs during the term of the VSC,  exclusive of
failures covered by a manufacturers warranty.

The programs marketed and administered by MBA require that the dealer enter into
an agreement whereby MBA is the provider of services to the dealer.  Among these
services is the development and distribution of marketing materials,  processing
of dealer produced VSC's, and the  administration and payment of claims filed by
contract  holders  under the terms of their VSC.  For the nine months ended July
31, 1999,  fiscal year ended  October 31, 1998 and fiscal year ended October 31,
1997,  there were  approximately  600 credit  unions,  automobile  dealers,  and
recreational  vehicles & travel trailer dealers  offering the Company's  vehicle
service contracts or extended warranties.

                                       1
<PAGE>
With respect to the VSC and extended  warranty  programs,  liability is borne by
insurers who have issued insurance  policies to assume this risk in exchange for
the payment of agreed upon premiums and fees. The Company has reached agreements
with  American  Bankers  Insurance  Group of Florida  and  American  Modern Home
Insurance  Company  where  these  companies  will  insure  all of MBA's  VSC and
extended warranty programs. Prior to these insurance carriers, the programs were
insured by the New Hampshire Insurance Company and other American  International
Group, Inc. ("AIG") member companies.

For  extended  warranties,  the  policy  premium  has  been  established  by the
insurance  companies and agreed to by the Company and insurance  regulators.  In
general,  when a premium is sold approximately 51% of the premium is remitted to
the  insurance  company.  The  remainder is split between the agent who sold the
policy and the Company.  The agent will receive 20%-36% of the premium depending
on the  agreement  with the  Company.  The  Company  retains  the balance of the
premium paid by the policy holder.

Essential to the success of MBA is its ability to capture,  maintain,  track and
analyze all relevant data regarding a VSC or extended warranty.  To support this
function,  the Company operates  proprietary  software developed internally that
consists of custom designed relational databases with interactive  capabilities.
This  configuration  provides ample  capacity and  processing  speed for current
requirements as well as the ability to support significant future growth in this
area.

SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS

The  Company  does not have any  significant  customers.  The loss of one  large
customer would not have a material impact on operating results.

COMPETITION

M.B.A.  Holdings,  Inc.  competes with a number of  independent  administrators,
divisions  of  distributors  and  manufacturers,   financial   institutions  and
insurance  companies.  While the  Company  believes  that it  occupies  a strong
position among  competitors in its field, it may not be the largest marketer and
administrator  of  vehicle  service  contracts  and  extended  warranties.  Some
competitors may have greater operating experience, more employees and/or greater
financial resources.  Further, many manufacturers of motor vehicles,  market and
administer  their own vehicle  service  contract  programs for and through their
dealers.

SALES AND MARKETING

The Company maintains its own sales and marketing personnel.  Sales training and
motivational  programs are a primary form of specialized  assistance provided by
the Company to retailers/dealers and financial  institutions,  to assist them in
increasing the effectiveness and profitability of their vehicle service contract
and extended warranty program sales efforts.  The Company develops materials and
conducts  educational  seminars.  These  seminars  are  conducted  either at the
client's place of business or an offsite facility.

MBA also direct  markets to the  consumer  through  direct mail  campaigns.  The
direct  marketing  campaigns  generate  sales by  obtaining a list of recent car
sales  through  various  list  services.   This  list  is  uploaded  into  MBA's
state-of-the-art direct mailing computer system. This system generates different
policy and premium  options for the car  purchased.  The potential  customer can
send in the premium via the U.S.  mail or call the MBA sales  support staff on a
toll free number and pay by a major credit card.

Insurance  Coverage Liability for performance under the terms of vehicle service
contracts  and  extended   warranties  issued  by   clients/dealers,   financial
institutions,  or direct mail  campaigns is assumed by the insurer in return for
the payment of the  agreed-upon  premium for the assumption of the risk from the
insured.  This coverage  provides  indemnification  against loss  resulting from
service  contract  claims and protects the consumer by ensuring that their claim
will be paid. The insurance  protection is provided by highly rated  independent
insurance companies. This includes American Bankers Insurance Group and American
Modern Home  Insurance Co which are rated A - (Excellent)  by A.M. Best Company.
Other  programs are insured by New Hampshire  Insurance  Company,  and other AIG
member companies which is rated A++ (Superior) by the A.M. Best Company.

                                       2
<PAGE>
In  accordance  with the insurance  arrangements  with these  insurers,  a fixed
amount is remitted for each vehicle service contract or extended  warranty sold.
The  amount  is set by the  insurance  company's  and is  based  upon  actuarial
analysis of data collected and maintained for each type of coverage and contract
term. The insurer is obligated to pay all the claims which fall under the policy
even if the claims exceed the premium.  Some  contracts  between the Company and
the insurer  contain  agreements  that allow the Company to share in the profits
earned by the programs. The Company did not accrue or receive any profit sharing
amounts  for the nine  months  ended  July 31,  1999 and the 1998,  1997 or 1996
fiscal years.

The number of policies  sold for the last three fiscal years and the nine months
ended July 31, 1999 are noted below:

                                                                        Number
Time Period                                                          of Policies
- -----------                                                          -----------
For the nine months ended July 31, 1999                                 24,505
For the twelve months ended October 31, 1998                            36,477
For the twelve months ended October 31, 1997                            27,000
For the twelve months ended October 31, 1996                             8,095

This  increase is  reflected  in the  increase in gross  revenue and net income.
Majority  of the  increase  was  due to  additional  sales  from  the  Company's
concerted  effort to expand into the vehicle  service  contract and credit union
niche. The Company will continue to look for ways to increase sales.  Currently,
the Company is in the process of exploring strategic relations with other highly
rated insurance companies regarding  different motorized  machinery;  like boats
and motorcycles.

FEDERAL AND STATE REGULATION

The vehicle  service  contract  and extended  warranty  programs  developed  and
marketed by MBA, are  regulated by federal law and the statutes of a significant
number of states.  The Company  continually  reviews all  existing  and proposed
statutes  and  regulations  to  ascertain  their  applicability  to its existing
operations, as well as new programs that are developed by the Company. Generally
speaking,  these statutes  concern the scope of the vehicle service contract and
extended  warranty  coverage  and  content of the  vehicle  service  contract or
extended warranty  document.  In such instances,  the state statute will require
that specific  wording be included in the vehicle  service  contract or extended
warranty  expressly  stating the consumer's  rights in the event of a claim, how
the service contract may be canceled and identification of the insurance company
that indemnifies the dealers, financial institution, or the Company against loss
for performance under the terms of the contract.  Insurance  departments in some
states have sought to interpret the vehicle  service  contract  and/or  extended
warranty,  or certain  items  covered under the contract as a form of insurance,
requiring that the issuer be a duly licensed and chartered insurance company.

The Company  does not believe  that they are  insurers  and have no intention of
filing the documents and meeting the capital and surplus  requirements  that are
necessary to obtain such a license.  There are instances where the applicability
of statutes and regulations to programs marketed and administered by the Company
and compliance therewith, involve issues of interpretation. The Company uses its
best efforts to comply with  applicable  statutes and  regulations but it cannot
assure that its  interpretations,  if challenged,  would be upheld by a court or
regulatory  body.  In any  situation in which the Company has been  specifically
notified by any regulatory bodies that its methods of doing business were not in
compliance with state  regulation,  the Company has taken the steps necessary to
comply.   If  the  Company's  right  to  operate  in  any  state  is  challenged
successfully,  the Company may be required to cease  operations in the state and
the state might also impose  financial  sanctions  against  the  Company.  These
actions, should they occur, could have materially adverse consequences and could
affect  the  Company's  ability  to  continue  operating.  However,  within  the
framework of currently known statutes,  the Company does not feel that this is a
present concern.

EMPLOYEES

The Company and its subsidiary employ  approximately fifty individuals at August
31, 1999,  an increase of  approximately  ten over the fiscal year ended October
31, 1998.  The increase is due to the  expansion of customer  service and claims
representatives  to meet the needs of the Company's  expanding  business.  Total
amount of external  sales force equals  three.  These people train the insurance
agent or representative at the financial institution, dealership, or other sales
venue.  Internally,  there are  approximately  eight  people who handle  product
inquiries  that may  result in sales.  The rest of the staff is  located  in the
following  departments:   claims,  customer  service,  data  entry,  information
systems, finance, administration. None of the Company's employees are covered by
a collective bargaining agreement.  The Company considers its relations with its
employees to be good.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF NINE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1999 AND 1998

Net commission income, which consists of gross income less premiums to insurers,
agent commissions,  and  cancellations,  for the nine months ended July 31, 1999
totaled $2,415,000,  an increase of $229,000 from net revenues of $2,186,000 for
the nine months ended July 31, 1998.  The number of contracts sold of 24,505 for
the nine months ended July 31, 1999  decreased from the number of contracts sold
of 25,521 for the nine months ended July 31, 1998. The increase in gross and net
commission  income  is due to a larger  percentage  of the sales in 1999 are VSC
sales versus  extended  warranty  sales.  The VSC sales have a higher sale price
than the extended warranty premium. In addition,  there were a greater number of
direct  mail sales in 1999 than in 1998.  The  direct  mail sales do not have an
agent  associated  with them so the Company  does not have to pay agent / broker
commissions.

Operating income increased by $70,000 to $424,000 for the nine months ended July
31, 1999, from $354,000 for the nine months ended July 31, 1998. As a percentage
of net commission income, operating income increased by 1.3 percentage points to
17.5% for the nine  months  ended July 31,  1999 from 16.2% for the nine  months
ended July 31,  1998.  The  increase is due to an increase in the VSC and direct
mail revenue which have a higher  percentage of premiums  being  retained by the
Company.

Selling  expenses,  which is attributed  mainly to mailings and postage from the
direct mail product, totaled $259,000, or 10.7 percent of net commission income,
for the nine months ended July 31, 1999.  This is an increase from $212,000,  or
9.7 percent of net  revenues,  for the  comparable  period ending July 31, 1998.
This  $47,000  increase  was  attributable  primarily to an increase in mailings
during 1999 as the company  purchased  additional  printers which  increased its
capacity  to  produce  direct  mailing  materials.  The new  printers  were  not
available  for all of the nine months ending July 31, 1998 while they were being
used for the entire nine months ending July 31, 1999.

General  and  administrative   expenses  including  mailings  and  postage  were
$1,991,000  for the nine months ended July 31, 1999,  compared to $1,832,000 for
the  nine-month  period ended July 31, 1998. As a percentage  of net  commission
income,  general  and  administrative  expenses  were 82.4  percent for the nine
months ended July 31,  1999,  compared to 83.8 percent for the nine months ended
July 31, 1998.  The increase in expenses is due to additional  customer  service
and claims personnel.  This increase was considered necessary given the increase
in sales.

                                       5
<PAGE>
Net income for the nine months ended July 31, 1999 was  $323,000,  compared to a
net  income for the nine  months  ended July 31,  1998 of  $234,000,  which is a
result of the foregoing factors.  The increase in net income was consistent with
the increase in net commission income.

COMPARISON OF FISCAL YEAR 1998 AND FISCAL YEAR 1997

Net commission income, which consists of gross income less premiums to insurers,
agent commissions, and cancellations, for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1998
totaled  $3,150,000,  an increase of $1,171,000  from net revenues of $1,979,000
for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1997. This increase is consistent with the
increase in the number of policies  sold in fiscal 1998 versus  fiscal 1997.  In
1998 and 1997,  there were 36,477 and 27,000  policies sold,  respectively.  The
increase is due to an increase in the VSC and direct mail  revenue  which have a
higher percentage of premiums being retained by the Company.

Operating  income  increased  by $260,000 to $524,000  for the fiscal year ended
October 31, 1998, from $264,000 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1997. As a
percentage of net revenues,  operating income increased by 3.3 percentage points
to 16.6% for the fiscal  year ended  October  31, 1998 from 13.3% for the fiscal
year ended October 31, 1997. This increase is due to additional VSC revenue.

Selling  expenses which are  attributed  mainly to mailings and postage from the
direct mail product totaled $282,000,  or 9.0 percent of net commission  income,
for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1998, an increase from  $249,000,  or 12.6
percent of net revenues, for the comparable period ending October 31, 1997. This
$33,000  increase was  attributable  primarily to an increase in mailings during
1998 as the company purchased  additional  printers which increased its capacity
to produce direct mailing materials.

General and  administrative  expenses including selling expenses were $2,626,000
for the fiscal year ended  October 31,  1998,  compared  to  $1,714,000  for the
fiscal year ended October 31, 1997. As a percentage  of net  commission  income,
general and administrative  expenses were 83.4 percent for the fiscal year ended
October 31, 1998, compared to 86.6 percent for the fiscal year ended October 31,
1997. The increase in expenses is due to additional  customer service and claims
personnel. This increase was considered necessary given the increase in sales.

As a result of the foregoing  factors,  the net income for the fiscal year ended
October  31,  1998 was  $328,000,  compared  to a net income for the fiscal year
ended  October 31, 1997 of $263,000.  The increase in net income was  consistent
with the increase in net commission income.

COMPARISON OF FISCAL YEAR 1997 AND FISCAL YEAR 1996

Net commission income, which consists of gross income less premiums to insurers,
agent commissions, and cancellations, for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1997
totaled $1,979,000,  an increase of $1,303,000 from net revenues of $675,000 for
the fiscal year ended  October 31,  1996.  The increase is due to an increase in
the VSC and extended warranty  revenue.  Total policies sold in fiscal year 1997
equals  27,000 which is an increase of 18,905 from  policies sold in fiscal year
1996 of 8,095.  The Company was able to develop  relationships  in the  industry
that produced additional streams of revenue  particularly with credit unions and
dealerships offering vehicle service contracts.

                                       6
<PAGE>
Operating  income  increased  by $210,000 to $264,000  for the fiscal year ended
October 31, 1997,  from $54,000 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1996. As a
percentage of net revenues,  Operating income increased by 5.3 percentage points
to 13.3% for the fiscal  year ended  October  31,  1997 from 8.0% for the fiscal
year ended  October 31, 1996.  This  increase is due to  additional  revenues as
noted above.

Selling  expenses which are  attributed  mainly to mailings and postage from the
direct mail product totaled $249,000,  or 12.6 percent of net commission income,
for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1997,  an increase  from $93,000,  or 13.8
percent of net revenues, for the comparable period ending October 31, 1996. This
$156,000  increase  was due to the fact  that in fiscal  year  1996 the  mailing
program profitability was being reviewed by management and all mailings were put
on hold at that time.  In fiscal  year  1997,  the direct  mailing  program  was
resumed and direct mail costs, as noted above, increased.

General and  administrative  expenses including selling expenses were $1,714,000
for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1997,  compared to $622,000 for the fiscal
year  ended  October  31,  1996.  The  increase  in  expense is mainly due to an
increase  in  salaries.  The  Company  hired  additional  employees  for claims,
customer  service,  and data entry to meet the needs of our  customers  as sales
continued to grow.

As a result of the foregoing  factors,  the net income for the fiscal year ended
October  31,  1997 was  $263,000,  compared  to a net income for the fiscal year
ended  October 31, 1996 of  $50,000.  The  increase in net income was due to the
Company  receiving  approximately  $168,000 as part of a lawsuit  settlement  in
fiscal year 1997.  After the lawsuit  settlement net income is consistent to the
increase in net commission income.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

COMPARISON OF FISCAL YEAR 1998 AND NINE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1999

As of July 31, 1999, the Company's cash position  increased to $3,584,000,  from
$1,914,000  at October 31, 1998.  Of the  $3,584,000,  $500,000 is classified as
restricted  cash; there was $451,000 of restricted cash at October 31, 1998. The
largest component of the restricted cash was claims payment advances provided by
insurance companies.  This enables the Company to make claims payments on behalf
of the insurance companies.

The Company collects funds throughout the year and remits a portion of the funds
to the insurance  companies.  As of July 31, 1999,  amount owed to the insurance
companies increased to $3,087,000, from $1,633,000 at October 31, 1998, which is
primarily because gross sales were accelerating.

The  Company is not  operating  with a working  capital  line of credit from any
facility  or any  other  debt  instrument.  The  Company's  ability  to fund its
operations over the short-term is not hindered by lack of short-term  financing.
The Company uses premium  received to pay agent  commissions and fund operations
and claims payment  advances  provided by insurance  companies to administer and
pay claims.

COMPARISON OF FISCAL YEAR 1998 AND FISCAL YEAR 1997

As of October 31, 1998,  the Company's  cash position  increased to  $2,365,000,
from $1,653,000 at October 31, 1997. Of the  $2,365,000,  $451,000 is classified
as restricted  cash;  there was also $211,000 of restricted  cash at October 31,
1997.  The  largest  component  of the  restricted  cash was funds  provided  by
insurance  companies for claims  payment  advances.  This enables the Company to
make claims  payments on behalf of the insurance  companies  without a wait time
for the policy holder.

                                       7
<PAGE>
The Company collects funds throughout the year and remits a portion of the funds
to the  insurance  companies.  The Company  will  receive  cash for a policy and
deposit  into a bank account for the  appropriate  insurance  company.  Then the
Company will remit the amount due to the  insurance  company on a timely  basis.
Due to the timing of when cash is deposited into the Company's bank accounts and
when a check is issued to the  insurance,  there will be a liability owed to the
insurance  companies.  This liability has constant  turnover as money is paid to
the insurance  companies and  additional  money is received for premiums.  As of
October  31,  1998,  amount  owed  to  the  insurance   companies  increased  to
$1,633,000,  from $1,057,000 at October 31, 1997. An increase in the amount owed
to  insurance  companies is due to an increase in gross sales for the year ended
October 31, 1998 from the year ended October 31, 1997.

During 1998, the company  repaid a note payable to a related party.  The balance
on the note as of October 31, 1997 was $73,189. The funds used to repay the note
were  from  operations.  This  payment  did not have an  adverse  effect  on the
Company's cash flow.

The Company is not operating with a working  capital line of credit  facility or
any other debt instrument. As such, the Company's ability to fund its operations
over the short-term is not hindered by lack of short-term financing. The Company
uses its portion of the premium received to fund  operations.  It receives money
from the insurance companies to pay for adjudicated claims.  Management believes
the Company has sufficient cash flow from operations for its working capital and
capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future.

QUALITATIVE INFORMATION ABOUT MARKET RISK

Since the Company does not  underwrite  its own  policies,  then a change in the
current rates of inflation or  hyperinflation is not expected to have a material
effect on the company.  However,  the precise  effect of inflation on operations
can not be determined.

The  Company  does not  have  any  outstanding  debt or  long-term  receivables.
Therefore, it is not subject to significant interest rate risk.

ITEM 3. PROPERTIES

The Company's  executive  offices are located in leased  premises at 9419 E. San
Salvador,  Suite 105,  Scottsdale,  Arizona.  The premises,  pursuant to a lease
agreement (the "Lease"),  consist of approximately 16,750 square feet. The lease
expired on  December  31,  1998.  The  Company  has signed a new lease (the "New
Lease") in the same office space with total square footage equal to 19,750.  The
New Lease,  which commenced on January 1, 1999 and expires on December 31, 2003,
provides for annual base rent payments ranging from $212,000 to $281,000.

The  premises are owned by an affiliate  entity  named Cactus  Partnership.  The
partners in Cactus  Partnership are Gaylen  Brotherson,  the CEO of the Company,
and Judy Brotherson,  the Vice-President of the Company.  All lease negotiations
are made at fair market value between Cactus  Partnership  and the Company based
on leases with other occupants of the building (See Item 7 Certain relationships
and Related Transactions).

OTHER INCENTIVES AND COMPENSATION

The Company does not have a formal stock option plan.  Currently,  stock options
are granted by the Board of Directors.  At October 31, 1998, there were only two
employees,  Gaylen Brotherson and Judy Brotherson,  that had stock options.  All

resolution  dated June 1, 1998, Judy  Brotherson  receives an option to purchase
5,000 shares @ 70% of the stock's fair market value for each $5,000,000 increase

ITEM 7. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

The  Company had a note  payable  with Gaylen  Brotherson,  the Chief  Executive
Officer. As of October 31, 1997 the unpaid balance equaled $73,189.  The note is
unsecured and paid per annum with a variable  interest  rate.  During 1998,  the
Company repaid the note in full.

The  Company  leases its office  space from  Cactus  Partnership.  The  managing
partner of Cactus Partnership is Gaylen Brotherson, the Chief Executive Officer.
Rent  expense for this office  space was  $187,067  and  $114,000  for the years
ending October 31, 1998 and 1997,  respectively.  The Company signed a new lease
with the affiliated entity in 1999. This new lease expires on December 31, 2003.

ITEM 8. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is subject to claims and lawsuits that arise in the ordinary  course
of  business,   consisting  principally  of  alleged  errors  and  omissions  in
connection  with the sale of insurance.  On the basis of  information  presently
available,  management  does not  believe the  settlement  of any such claims or
lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the financial position,  results
of operations or cash flows of the Company.

The Company has never paid cash dividends on any shares of its Common Stock, and
the  Company's  Board of  Directors  intends  to  continue  this  policy for the
foreseeable  future.  Earnings,  if any, will be used to finance the development
and expansion of the Company's business. Future dividend policy will depend upon
the Company's  earnings,  capital  requirements,  financial  condition and other
factors considered relevant by the Company's Board of Directors.

ITEM 10. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

There were no sales of unregistered securities.

ITEM 11. DESCRIPTION OF REGISTRANT'S SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED

COMMON STOCK, $.001 PAR VALUE

The Company is authorized to issue up to 80,000,000  shares of Common Stock, par
value $.001 per share, of which 2,005,121 shares of Common Stock were issued and
outstanding as of August 31, 1999 and held by 186 shareholders.

Holders of the Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to
be voted upon by the stockholders. Subject to preferences that may be applicable
to any  outstanding  Preferred  Stock,  holders of Common  Stock are entitled to
receive  ratably  such  dividends,  if any,  as may be  declared by the Board of
Directors out of funds legally  available.  Upon  liquidation,  dissolution,  or
winding up of the  Company,  the holders of Common  Stock are  entitled to share
ratably  in  all  assets  of  the  Company  which  are  legally   available  for
distribution,  after  payment  of  all  debts  and  other  liabilities  and  the
liquidation  preference of any outstanding  Preferred  Stock.  Holders of Common
Stock have no preemptive,  subscription,  redemption or conversion  rights.  The
outstanding  shares  of  Common  Stock  are  validly  issued,   fully  paid  and
non-assessable.

                                       13
<PAGE>
PREFERRED STOCK, $.001 PAR VALUE

The Company is  authorized to issue up to 5,000,000  shares of Preferred  Stock,
par value $.001 per share. As of August 31, 1999, the Company had not issued any
Preferred Stock.

The Board of Directors is authorized,  subject to any limitations  prescribed in
the laws of the State of Nevada,  but without  further  action by the  Company's
stockholders,  to provide  for the  issuance of  Preferred  Stock in one or more
series,  to establish from time to time the number of shares of each such series
and any qualifications,  limitations or restrictions thereof, and to increase or
decrease  the number of shares of any such series  without  any further  vote or
action by the  stockholders.  The Board of  Directors  may  authorize  and issue
Preferred Stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the
voting power or other rights of the holders of Common  Stock.  In addition,  the
issuance  of  Preferred  Stock may have the  effect of  delaying,  deferring  or
preventing a change in control of the  Company.  The Company has no current plan
to issue any shares of Preferred Stock.

ITEM 12. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

1. As  permitted by State of Nevada,  the  Company's  Articles of  Incorporation
eliminates a director's  personal  liability for monetary damages to the Company
and its stockholders arising from a breach of a director's fiduciary duty except
for any stated  liability  under Nevada Law. This includes any liability for any
breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, for
acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing  violation of law or for any transaction from which the director derived
an improper  personal  benefit.  The effect of this provision in the Articles of
Incorporation  is to eliminate the rights of the Company and its stockholders to
recover  monetary  damages  against a director for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director except in the situations described above.

2. The Registrant's  bylaws provide for the  indemnification  of any persons who
was,  is, or is  threatened  to be made a party or is  threatened,  pending,  or
completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,  administrative,
or investigative,  except an action by or in the right of the corporation, or is
or was  serving at the  request of the  corporation  as a  director,  officer or
employee of another  corporation,  partnership,  joint  venture,  trust or other
enterprise,  against expenses,  including attorneys' fees, judgments,  fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
with the action,  suit or  proceeding  if he acted in good faith and in a manner
which he  reasonably  believed to be in or not opposed to the best  interests of
the corporation,  and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable  cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.  The  termination  of any
action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a
plea of nolo  contendre  or its  equivalent,  does  not,  of  itself,  create  a
presumption  that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner  which he
reasonably  believed  to be in or not  opposed  to  the  best  interests  of the
corporation, and that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he had
reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

3. The  Company  presently  maintains  policies  of  insurance  under  which its
directors are insured.  These  policies are within the limits and subject to the
limitations  against certain expenses in connection with the defense of actions,
suits or proceedings,  and certain  liabilities  which might be imposed to which
they are parties by reason of being, or having been, such directors.

4.  There  is no  litigation  pending.  The  Company  does not nor do any of its
directors know of any threatened litigation or proceedings which might result in
a claim for indemnification by any officer or director.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


Board of Directors and Stockholders
M.B.A. Holdings, Inc.
Scottsdale, Arizona

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of M.B.A. Holdings,
Inc. and  subsidiary  (the  "Company") as of October 31, 1998 and 1997,  and the
related consolidated statements of income,  stockholders' equity, and cash flows
for the years then ended.  These financial  statements are the responsibility of
the Company's  management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  such consolidated  financial  statements present fairly, in all
material respects,  the financial position of the Company as of October 31, 1998
and 1997,  and the  results of its  operations  and its cash flows for the years
then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

M.B.A. HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NINE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1999 AND 1998 (UNAUDITED), AND
YEARS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1998 AND 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     DESCRIPTION  OF  BUSINESS  - M.B.A.  Holdings,  Inc.  and  subsidiary  (the
     "Company") are located in Scottsdale,  Arizona and are principally  engaged
     in the  sale and  claims  administration  of auto  warranties  and  vehicle
     service contracts for new autos, trucks,  recreational vehicles, and travel
     trailers for three domestic insurance  companies.  The insurance  companies
     retain  the  liability  for future  performance  under the  warranties  and
     contracts.  The consolidated  financial  statements include the accounts of
     M.B.A. Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Mechanical Breakdown
     Administrators,  Inc. ("MBA").  All significant  intercompany  balances and
     transactions have been eliminated.

     SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES are as follows:

a.   CASH AND CASH  EQUIVALENTS  - The  Company  considers  all cash and  highly
     liquid  investments  with original  maturities of three months or less when
     purchased to be cash equivalents.

b.   RESTRICTED  CASH  represents  funds  collected  by the Company on behalf of
     insurance  companies and claims payment advances  provided by the insurance
     companies,  to enable the Company to make claims  payments on behalf of the
     insurance companies.

c.   PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT - The historical cost of computer equipment,  office
     equipment and furniture is  depreciated by  accelerated  and  straight-line
     methods over their  estimated  useful lives which range from three to seven
     years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the life of
     the asset or the related lease term.

d.   BENEFIT PLAN - The Company has a profit-sharing plan covering substantially
     all employees  who have attained the age of 21 and have  completed one year
     of service.  Participation  commences on the earliest plan entry date after
     an employee meets eligibility requirements.  The only contributions made to
     the  plan  are  discretionary  employer  contributions.   No  discretionary
     contributions were made during the years ended October 31, 1998 and 1997.

e.   NET PREMIUMS PAYABLE TO INSURANCE  COMPANIES  represent  premiums collected
     from the  policyholders  on  behalf  of the  insurance  companies.  Amounts
     collected are periodically remitted to the appropriate insurance company.

f.   REVENUE  RECOGNITION  -  Net  commission  income  consists  principally  of
     premiums on policies sold, less premiums owed to insurers, agent commission
     expenses  and  cancellations.  Revenues  are  recognized  when the  service
     contract or extended warranty sold by the dealer, credit union, or other is
     received and accepted by the Company. Deferred revenues represent insurance
     premiums  collected  and deferred to the extent of  estimated  future costs
     associated with administering  claims for insurance contracts sold. Premium
     adjustments, including policy cancellations, are recorded as they occur.

                                      F-7
<PAGE>
g.   INCOME  TAXES - Deferred  income taxes are  recorded  based on  differences
     between the  financial  statement  and tax basis of assets and  liabilities
     based on income tax rates currently in effect.

h.   NET INCOME PER SHARE - In March 1997,  Financial Accounting Standards Board
     ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS") No.
     128,  EARNINGS PER SHARE,  which is effective for financial  statements for
     both interim and annual periods  ending after  December 15, 1997.  This new
     standard requires dual presentation of BASIC and DILUTED EPS on the face of
     the earnings  statements and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and
     denominator  of basic and  diluted EPS  calculations.  Basic  earnings  per
     common share is computed on the weighted average number of shares of common
     stock  outstanding  during each period.  Earnings per common share assuming
     dilution  is computed on the  weighted  average  number of shares of common
     stock  outstanding  plus  additional  shares  representing  the exercise of
     outstanding common stock options using the treasury stock method.

i.   STOCK-BASED  COMPENSATION  -The  Company  adopted SFAS No. 123 during 1997.
     SFAS No. 123 requires  expanded  disclosures  of  stock-based  compensation
     arrangements   with  employees  and  encourages,   but  does  not  require,
     compensation  costs to be  measured  based on the fair  value of the equity
     instrument  awarded.  The Company  has  elected to measure its  stock-based
     compensation awards to employees based on the provisions of APB Opinion No.
     25.  APB No.  25  allows  recognition  of  compensation  cost  based on the
     intrinsic value of the equity instrument awarded rather than fair value.

J.   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, 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 those
     estimates.

k.   FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL  INSTRUMENTS - The carrying  value of the Company's
     financial  instruments  approximate  fair  value  as the  rates  in  effect
     approximate current rates obtainable in an open market.

l.   NEW ACCOUNTING  PRONOUNCEMENT - In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133,
     ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES.  SFAS No. 133
     requires that an enterprise  recognize all  derivatives as either assets or
     liabilities  in the  statement  of  financial  position  and measure  those
     instruments  at fair value.  The  statement is effective  for the Company's
     fiscal  year  ending  October  31,  2001.  The  Company  has not  completed
     evaluating the impact of implementing the provisions of SFAS No. 133.

m.   RECLASSIFICATIONS  - Certain  reclassifications  have been made to the 1997
     financial statements to conform to the 1998 presentation.

2.   NOTE PAYABLE TO AFFILIATED ENTITY

     The  Company's  note  payable to an  affiliated  entity at October 31, 1997
     consisted  of  $73,189 at a variable  interest  rate (6% as of October  31,
     1997). The balance was paid in full during 1998.

     The tax  effects of  temporary  differences  that give rise to  significant
     portions of deferred income tax assets at October 31 were as follows:

                                                    1998           1997

     The effective income tax rate differs from the federal statutory income tax
     rate in effect each year as a result of the following items:

                                                            1998       1997

4.   STOCK OPTIONS AND STOCK AWARDS

     During the years ended October 31, 1998 and 1997,  the Company issued stock
     options to certain  employees.  The Company  applies APB Opinion No. 25 and
     related  interpretations  in measuring  compensation  expense for its stock
     options.  During the years ended  October  31, 1998 and 1997,  compensation
     expense  of  $50,500  and  $-0-,  respectively,   was  recognized  for  the
     difference  between the option  exercise price and the estimated fair value
     of the common  stock at the date of grant.  Had  compensation  cost for the
     Company's  stock  options  been  determined  based on the fair value of the
     options at the date of grant  consistent  with SFAS No. 123, the  Company's
     net income and net income per common  share would not have been  materially
     different  for the years ended October 31, 1998 and 1997.  Options  granted
     are immediately vested and exercisable.

      stockholder.  Rent expense for this office space was $187,067 and $114,000

      month-to-month basis.

6.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

      The Company is subject to claims and  lawsuits  that arise in the ordinary
      course of business, consisting principally of alleged errors and omissions
      in  connection  with the sale of  insurance.  On the basis of  information
      presently  available,  management  does not believe the  settlement of any
      such  claims  or  lawsuits  will  have a  material  adverse  effect on the
      financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

7.   NINE-MONTH PERIODS ENDED JULY 31, 1999 AND 1998 (UNAUDITED)

     The  accompanying  interim  financial  statements have been prepared by the
     Company in accordance  with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
     Exchange Commission for interim reporting and generally accepted accounting
     principles  as they  relate  to  interim  financial  reporting.  Accounting
     policies  utilized  in the  preparation  of  financial  information  herein
     presented  are the same as set  forth  in the  Company's  annual  financial
     statements.  Certain  disclosures  and  information  normally  included  in
     financial  statements have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of the
     management  of  the  Company,   these  financial   statements  contain  all
     adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for
     a fair presentation of the interim financial statements. Interim results of
     operations are not necessarily  indicative of the results of operations for
     the full year.

     a.   STOCK OPTIONS - During the nine months ended July 31, 1999, there were
          no options granted by the Company's Board of Directors.

          The Company  accounts for options  issued to  employees in  accordance
          with APB  Opinion  No. 25 and  related  interpretations  in  measuring
          compensation expense for its stock options. The compensation cost that
          has been  charged  against  income for the nine months  ended July 31,
          1999 and 1998 for stock options is $0 and $31,250, respectively.

M.B.A. HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY


NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1996
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS - M.B.A.  Holdings,  Inc. and Subsidiary  (Company)
     are located in Scottsdale,  Arizona and are principally engaged in the sale
     and claims  administration  of auto warranties for new autos and trucks for
     three domestic insurance companies.  The consolidated  financial statements
     include the accounts of M.B.A. Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiary Mechanical
     Breakdown   Administrators,   Inc.   (wholly-owned  by  the  Company).  All
     significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

     During November 1995, Brixen Enterprises, Inc. (Brixen) acquired Mechanical
     Breakdown Administrators,  Inc. (M.B.A.) in a stock exchange. Brixen issued
     5,035,000 shares  representing 84% of its outstanding  shares,  for 100% of
     the  stock of  M.B.A.  Brixen  had been an  inactive  publicly  held  shell
     corporation prior to the November 1995 transaction. Financial statements of
     Brixen  for  fiscal  1995 and 1994 are not  presented  due to its  inactive
     status.  Subsequent  to the  merger,  Brixen  changed  its  name to  M.B.A.
     Holdings, Inc. and its legal domicile from Utah to Nevada.

     CASH AND CASH  EQUIVALENTS  - The  Company  considers  all cash and  highly
     liquid  investments  with maturities of three months or less when purchased
     to be cash equivalents.

     COMMERCIAL  PAPER - Commercial  paper is valued at cost which  approximates
     market.  The  commercial  paper is  escrowed  for  potential  payments  for
     insurance claims.

     PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT - The historical cost of computer equipment,  office
     equipment and furniture is depreciated  over their estimated  useful lives.
     Leasehold  improvements  are amortized  over the shorter of the life of the
     asset or the related lease term.

     NET  PREMIUMS  PAYABLE TO  INSURANCE  COMPANIES - Net  premiums  payable to
     insurance  companies represent premiums collected from the policyholders on
     behalf of the  insurance  companies.  Amounts  collected  are  periodically
     remitted to the appropriate insurance company.

     DEFERRED  REVENUES  -  Deferred  revenues   represent   insurance  premiums
     collected and deferred to the extent of estimated  future costs  associated
     with administering claims for insurance contracts sold.

     REVENUE  RECOGNITION  -  Net  commission  income  consists  principally  of
     premiums for policies issued,  premiums owed to insurers,  agent commission
     expenses and cancellations.  Insurance commissions generally are recognized
     when  substantially  all required services related to placing the insurance
     have been  rendered  (that  date  generally  is the date on which the first
     installment  premium is billable to the  policyholder)  and no  significant
     obligation  exists to  perform  services  after the  insurance  has  become
     effective.

     INCOME  TAXES - Deferred  income taxes are  recorded  based on  differences
     between  financial  statement  and tax basis of assets and income tax rates
     currently in effect.

                                      F-18
<PAGE>
     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, 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 those
     estimates.

     NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE - Net income per common share  calculations are
     based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted
     for stock splits and for common stock equivalents  arising from the assumed
     exercise of outstanding stock options.

     SFAS No. 123 ("Statement  123") - Accounting for  Stock-Based  Compensation
     will be effective  for the Company in fiscal 1997.  Statement  123 requires
     expanded   disclosures  of  stock-based   compensation   arrangements  with
     employees and encourages  (but does not require)  compensation  costs to be
     measured  based  on the  fair  value  of  the  equity  instrument  awarded.
     Companies are permitted,  however,  to continue to apply APB Opinion No. 25
     ("Opinion 25"), which recognizes  compensation  cost based on the intrinsic
     value of the equity instrument awarded.  The Company will continue to apply
     Opinion 25 to its stock based compensation awards to employees.

     FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL  INSTRUMENTS - The carrying value of long-term debt
     and notes  payable  approximate  fair  value as the  rates in effect  would
     approximate  current  rates  that  could  be  obtained  by the  Company  if
     refinancing occurred.

2.   LONG-TERM DEBT

     The Company's  long-term  debt consisted of the following as of October 31,
     1996:

     The tax  effects of  temporary  differences  that give rise to  significant
     portions of deferred income tax assets at October 31, 1996 were as follows:

     Deferred income tax assets:
       Deferred revenue                                                  $22,493
       Allowance for doubtful accounts                                     3,100
                                                                         -------

     Total deferred income tax assets                                    $25,593
                                                                         =======

     The effective income tax rate differs from the federal statutory income tax
     rate in effect each year as a result of the following items:


     Federal statutory income tax rate                                    34%
     Decrease due to rate differential                                    (4)
     Decrease due to termination of Sub Chapter S corporation election   (24)

     Effective income tax rate                                             6%

     Effective   November  1,  1995,  the  Company's  wholly  owned  subsidiary,
     Mechanical Breakdown Administrators, Inc., revoked its election to be taxed
     as an S Corporation  and became a C Corporation.  As a C  Corporation,  the
     subsidiary's  financial  statement  income tax  expense is  reported by the
     Company. In connection with the election,  the subsidiary recorded deferred
     tax assets of $25,593. Prior to the revocation of the election,  income was
     taxed directly to the subsidiary's shareholders.

4.   STOCK OPTIONS

     STOCK  OPTION PLANS - The Company has stock  options  under which shares of
     common stock have been reserved for issuance to the majority stockholder of
     the  Company.  Stock  options are granted by the Board of  Directors of the
     Company for issuance at an exercise  price equal to the market value of the
     common stock  determined as of the date of grant.  Shares and option prices
     have been adjusted for stock splits.

     During  1996,  the Company  issued  certain  stock  options to the majority
     stockholder of the Company. These options are as follows:

     *    100,000  stock  options  at $2.25 per share will be  exercisable  upon
          Mechanical  Breakdown  Administrators,  Inc.'s  gross  warranty  sales
          reaching  $10,000,000.  An  additional  75,000  stock  options  to  be
          exercisable  at a price of 80% of the  market  price  per share on the
          date when gross warranty sales reach $20,000,000.  Also, an additional
          5,000 stock  options to be  exercised  at a price of 80% of the market
          price per share (on the date reached) upon achieving  each  additional
          $5,000,000 sales increase above the $20,000,000 sales level.

5.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     The Company is subject to claims and  lawsuits  that arise in the  ordinary
     course of business,  consisting principally of alleged errors and omissions
     in connection  with the  placement of  insurance.  Some of these claims and
     lawsuits seek damages,  including punitive damages,  in amounts that could,
     if  assessed,  be  significant.  On  the  basis  of  information  presently
     available and advice  received from legal  counsel,  the settlement of such
     claims  and  lawsuits  will  not  have a  material  adverse  effect  on the
     financial position or results of the operations of the Company.

shareholders of the corporation or residents of the State of Nevada.  Initially,
the Board shall be comprised of three (3) members.

     3.2 TERMS.  Each director  shall serve for a term of one (1) year, or until
his  successor  shall have been  elected  and duly  qualified,  unless  properly
removed from office.  At a meeting of shareholders  for which the meeting notice
states  that a purpose  or one of the  purposes  of the  meeting is removal of a
director,  any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed, with or
without cause, by a vote of the holders of not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the

director(s);  provided, however, that, if the Articles of Incorporation provides
for election of directors by  cumulative  voting,  no director may be removed if
the votes cast  against his  removal  would be  sufficient  to elect him if then
cumulatively voted at an election of the entire Board of Directors. Whenever the
holders  of any  class or series of  shares  are  entitled  to elect one or more
directors,  unless otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation,  removal
of any such director  requires only the proportion of votes, as provided herein,
of the  holders of that class or  series,  and not the votes of the  outstanding
shares as a whole.

SECTION 5. CAPITAL STOCK

     5.1 PAYMENT FOR SHARES.  The Board of Directors may authorize  shares to be
issued for  consideration  consisting of any tangible or intangible  property or
benefit to the  corporation,  including,  but not limited to,  cash,  promissory
notes,  services  performed,  contracts  for  services to be  performed or other
securities of the corporation.  Before the corporation  issues shares, the Board
of Directors must determine  that the  consideration  received or to be received
for the shares to be issued is adequate.  The judgment of the Board of Directors
as to the  adequacy  of the  consideration  received  for the  shares  issued is
conclusive  in the  absence  of  actual  fraud  in  the  transaction.  When  the
corporation  receives  the  consideration  for  which  the  Board  of  Directors
authorized  the issuance of shares,  the shares issued  therefor are fully paid.
The  corporation  may place in escrow  shares  issued for a contract  for future
services or benefits or a promissory  note,  or make any other  arrangements  to
restrict the transfer of the shares.  The corporation  may credit  distributions
made for the  shares  against  their  purchase  price,  until the  services  are
performed,  the  benefits are received or the  promissory  note is paid.  If the
services are not performed, the benefits are not received or the promissory note
is not paid, the shares  escrowed or restricted and the  distributions  credited
may be canceled in whole or in part.

     5.2 CERTIFICATES  REPRESENTING  SHARES. Every shareholder shall be entitled
to have a certificate of the corporation,  certifying the number of shares owned
by him in the  corporation.  If the corporation is authorized to issue shares of
more than one class or more than one  series of any  class,  there  shall be set
forth upon the face or back of the certificate,  or the certificate shall have a
statement that the corporation will furnish to any shareholders upon request and
without charge, a full or summary statement of the designations, preferences and
relative, participating, optional or other special rights of the various classes
of stock or series thereof and the  qualifications,  limitations or restrictions
of such  rights,  and,  if the  corporation  shall be  authorized  to issue only
special stock,  such certificate shall set forth in full or summarize the rights
of the holders of such stock. The corporation may issue uncertificated shares of
<PAGE>
some or all of the shares of any or all of its classes or series.  The  issuance
of uncertificated shares has no effect on existing certificates for shares until
surrendered to the corporation,  or on the respective  rights and obligations of
the shareholders.  Unless otherwise  provided by a specific statute,  the rights
and  obligations of  shareholders  are identical  whether or not their shares of
stock are  represented  by  certificates.  Within a  reasonable  time  after the
issuance or transfer of shares without certificates,  the corporation shall send
the shareholder a written statement  containing the information  required on the
certificates  as  provided  hereunder.   At  least  annually   thereafter,   the
corporation  shall provide to its  shareholders of record,  a written  statement
confirming the information  contained in the informational  statement previously
sent pursuant to this Section 5.2.

     5.3 LOST, STOLEN OR DESTROYED  CERTIFICATES.  The corporation shall issue a
new stock certificate in place of any certificate  theretofore  issued where the
holder of record of the certificate:

          (a) Makes proof in affidavit form that the  certificate has been lost,
     destroyed or wrongfully taken;

          (b) Requests the issuance of a new certificate  before the corporation
     has notice that the  certificate has been acquired by a purchaser for value
     in good faith and without notice of any adverse claim;

          (c) Gives a bond in such form and with such surety as the  corporation
     may direct, to indemnify the corporation against any claim that may be made
     on account of the alleged loss,  destruction,  or theft of the certificate;
     and

          (d)  Satisfies  any  other  reasonable   requirement  imposed  by  the
     corporation.

When a certificate has been lost, apparently destroyed,  or wrongfully taken and
the holder of record fails to notify the  corporation  within a reasonable  time
after he has actual or constructive notice of it and the corporation registers a
transfer of the shares  represented by this  certificate  before  receiving such
notification,  the holder of record is precluded  from making any claim  against
the corporation for the transfer or for a new certificate.

     5.4 PURCHASE OF ITS OWN SHARES. The corporation may purchase its own shares
of stock from the  holders  thereof  subject to the  limitations  imposed by the
Articles of Incorporation with respect thereto.

     5.5  DISTRIBUTIONS.  The Board,  in its  discretion,  may from time to time
declare  distributions  upon  the  capital  stock;  provided,  however,  that no
distribution  shall  be  made  if  after  giving  it  effect,  either:  (i)  the
corporation  would not be able to pay its debts as they  become due in the usual
course of  business;  or (ii) except as  otherwise  specifically  allowed by the
Articles of Incorporation, the corporation's total assets would be less than the
sum of its total  liabilities  plus the  amount  that  would be  needed  (if the
corporation were to be dissolved at the time of the distribution) to satisfy the
preferential rights on dissolution of shareholders whose preferential rights are
<PAGE>
superior to those  receiving  the  distribution.  The Board of  Directors  shall
determine the effect of such distribution under the terms of N.R.S. ss.78.288(4)
and may base its determination  that a distribution is not prohibited  hereunder
pursuant to the terms of N.R.S. ss.78.288(3).

SECTION 6. WAIVER OF NOTICE

Any  shareholder,  director or officer may waive any notice required to be given
by these Bylaws of any meeting otherwise  prescribed  hereunder.  Any meeting at
which all shareholders or directors are present (or with respect to which notice
is waived by any absent shareholder or director) may be held at any time for any
purpose  and at any place and shall be deemed to have been  validly  called  and
held, and all acts performed and all business conducted at such meeting shall be
valid in all respects.

SECTION 7. INDEMNIFICATION

     7.1 INDEMNIFICATION.  The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or
is a party or is threatened,  pending or completed  action,  suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or
in the  right of the  corporation,  by  reason  of the fact  that he is or was a
director,  officer or employee of the  corporation,  or is or was serving at the
request  of the  corporation  as a  director,  officer  or  employee  of another
corporation,  partnership,  joint venture,  trust or other  enterprise,  against
expenses,  including  attorneys'  fees,  judgments,  fines and  amounts  paid in
settlement  actually  and  reasonably  incurred  by him in  connection  with the
action,  suit or  proceeding  if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he
reasonably  believed  to be in or not  opposed  to  the  best  interests  of the
corporation,  and,  with respect to any criminal  action or  proceeding,  had no
reasonable  cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.  The  termination  of any
action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a
plea of nolo  contendre  or its  equivalent,  does  not,  of  itself'  create  a
presumption  that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner  which he
reasonably  believed  to be in or not  opposed  to  the  best  interests  of the
corporation, and that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he had
reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

     7.2 The corporation  shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened,  pending or completed action or
suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by
reason of the fact that he is or was a  director,  officer  or  employee  of the
corporation,  or is or was  serving  at the  request  of  the  corporation  as a
director,  officer or employee  or of another  corporation,  partnership,  joint
venture,  trust or other enterprise against expenses,  including amounts paid in
settlement  and  attorneys'  fees  actually  and  reasonably  incurred by him in
connection  with the defense or  settlement of the action or suit if he acted in
good faith and in a manner which he reasonably  believed to be in or not opposed
to the best interests of the  corporation.  Indemnification  may not be made for
any  claim,  issue or matter as to which such a person  has been  adjudged  by a
court of competent  jurisdiction,  after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to
be  liable  to  the  corporation  or  for  amounts  paid  in  settlement  to the
corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or
suit was  brought  or other  court of  competent  jurisdiction  determines  upon
application  that in view of all the  circumstances  of the case,  the person is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems
proper.

     7.3  To the  extent  that a  director,  officer,  employee  or  agent  of a
corporation  has been  successful  on the merits or  otherwise in defense of any
action,  suit or  proceeding  referred to in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 herein,  or in
defense of any claim,  issue or matter  therein,  he shall be indemnified by the
corporation against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with the defense.

     7.4 Any indemnification  under Sections 7.1 and 7.2 herein,  unless ordered
by a court  or  advanced  pursuant  to  Section  5  herein,  must be made by the
corporation  only as authorized in the specific case upon a  determination  that
indemnification  of the  director,  officer,  employee or agent is proper in the
circumstances. The determination must be made:
<PAGE>
          (a) By the shareholders;

          (b) By the Board of Directors by majority vote of a quorum  consisting
     of directors who were not parties to the act, suit or proceeding;

          (c) If a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who are not
     parties to the act,  suit or  proceeding so orders,  by  independent  legal
     counsel in a written opinion; or

          (d) If a quorum  consisting  of directors  who were not parties to the
     act, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in
     a written opinion.

     7.5 The expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or
criminal action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the corporation as they are
incurred  and in  advance  of the  final  disposition  of the  action,  suit  or
proceeding,  upon receipt of an  undertaking  by or on behalf of the director or
officer  to  repay  the  amount  if it is  ultimately  determined  by a court of
competent  jurisdiction  that  he is  not  entitled  to be  indemnified  by  the
corporation.  The  provisions  of this  Section  7.5 do not affect any rights to
advancement  of expenses to which  corporate  personnel  other than directors or
officers may be entitled under any contract or otherwise by law.

     7.6 The  indemnification  and advancement of expenses authorized in or by a
court pursuant to this Section:

          (a)  Does not  exclude  any  other  rights  to which a person  seeking
     indemnification  or  advancement  of  expenses  may be  entitled  under the
     Articles  of  Incorporation  or any  agreement,  vote  of  shareholders  or
     disinterested directors or otherwise,  for either an action in his official
     capacity or an action in another capacity while holding his office,  except
     that  indemnification,  unless  ordered by a court  pursuant to Section 7.2
     herein or for the  advancement  of  expenses  made  pursuant to Section 7.5
     herein  may not be made to or on behalf of any  director  or  officer  if a
     final  adjudication   establishes  that  his  acts  or  omissions  involved
     intentional  misconduct  fraud or a knowing  violation  of the law and were
     material to the cause of action.

          (b) Continues for a person who has ceased to be a director, officer or
     employee   and  inures  to  the  benefit  of  the  heirs,   executors   and
     administrators of such a person.

SECTION 8. AMENDMENT AND REPEAL

These  Bylaws  may be amended  or  repealed  or new Bylaws may be adopted by the
unanimous  approval of all  shareholders  or the Board of  Directors at either a
special or a regular meeting  thereof' if notice of such alteration or repeal is
contained in the notice of such special meeting.

                                policyholders;  however, the General Agent shall
                                perform  its  duties at all times in  accordance
                                with this Agreement.

                                the event that reinsurance purchased by Company,
                                which  Company  considers to be an integral part
                                of the underwriting program, has been restricted
                                or cancelled by reinsurers,  in which event, the
                                date of restriction or cancellation shall become
                                the termination date of this Agreement.

                                This Agreement shall terminate  automatically in
                                the event that Company,  in its sole discretion,
                                determines  that the General Agent has not acted

                                Agreement may be cancelled by Certified Mail and
                                within ten (.10) days' prior written notice,  by
                                the  Company  at its  option  upon  the  breach,
                                non-performance,  or  violation  by the  General
                                Agent or any person for whom the  General  Agent
                                may be  responsible,  of any provision,  term or
                                condition  hereof.   The  Company  may,  at  its
                                option, permit the General Agent to rectify such
                                breach, non-performance, or violation within ten
                                (10)  business  days  after  receipt  of written
                                notice from  Company  or,  where cure would take
                                longer,  to  commence  to cure  within  five (5)
                                business  days and  continues  in good  faith to
                                cure thereafter.

                                At the Company's  option,  this Agreement may be
                                terminated  immediately  in the  event  that the
                                General Agent shall have  committed a fraudulent
                                act or  illegal  conduct,  become  insolvent  or
                                bankrupt or commit an act of  bankruptcy or make
                                an assignment for the benefit of creditors.

                                This  Agreement  shall  terminate  automatically
                                upon the effective date of the sale, transfer or
                                merger of the  General  Agent's  business.  This
                                Agreement shall terminate  automatically  if the
                                General Agent  knowingly  violates any provision
                                of this Agreement, or if the General Agent fails
                                to remit premiums when due.

                                Upon  termination  of  this  Agreement,   unless
                                otherwise stipulated by the Company, the General
                                Agent  shall  account  to the  Company  for  all
                                premiums or other  transactions  unaccounted for
                                at the time of termination or arising thereafter
                                with  respect  to  insurance   covered  by  this
                                Agreement.

                                If this  Agreement is terminated and the General
                                Agent has paid to Company  all  monies  owing to
                                the Company, the expirations on business written
                                pursuant  to this  Agreement  shall  remain  the
                                property  of the General  Agent.  If the General
                                Agent is in default on the  payment of monies to
                                the  Company  under the terms of this  Agreement

                                business   shall  become  the  property  of  the
                                Company upon the  termination of this Agreement.
                                The General Agent shall  receive no  commissions
                                for  premiums  which the General  Agent fails to
                                collect and which the Company  collects  but the
                                General  Agent  shall  receive  credit  for  the
                                premium in their mutual account.

                                All termination provisions of this Paragraph are
                                subject   to  the   law   of  the   jurisdiction
                                applicable to this termination.

                                After the effective  date of termination of this
                                Agreement, the General Agent shall neither issue
                                any new policies  nor bind any new  insurance on
                                behalf  of the  Company,  nor  extend,  renew or
                                increase the Company's liability on any existing
                                policy or binder,  but at the  Company's  option
                                and  except  as  aforesaid,  all of the  General
                                Agent's  powers  and  authorities  and al of the
                                rights and  obligations  of the parties  hereto,

                                force and effect until all liabilities of the

21. FINANCING OF PREMIUMS:      Company under all policies issued by the General
                                Agent hereunder are finally discharged.  Company
                                retains  the right to cancel  or  non-renew  any
                                policy  written  by the  General  Agent  for any
                                reason permitted by law

                                The General  Agent shall  forward to the Company
                                immediately  upon  receipt,  or upon the General
                                Agent's knowledge thereof, all correspondence or
                                notices  with   relation  to  the  financing  or

                                policyholder. The General Agent shall not accept
                                premium  financing  on  policies  for  which the
                                premium is  provisional,  deposit,  minimum,  or
                                otherwise adjustable.

                                The  General  Agent  is not and  shall  not hold
                                itself out as the agent of the  Company  for the
                                purpose of obtaining premium financing.

                                The  Company   reserves   the  right  to  refund
                                premiums directly to the premium finance company
                                upon cancellation of a policy(ies).  The General
                                Agent  agrees to procure  the  agreement  of any
                                sub-producer  to Company's  action.  The General
                                Agent shall refund applicable  commission to the
                                premium  finance  company  in  the  event  of  a
                                cancellation of a policy(ies).

                                Premium finance company must agree,  and General
                                Agent  agrees  to  procure  any   sub-producer's
                                consent, to:

                                (A)  Directly  notify  Company in writing if the
                                premium  finance  company  cancels a policy(ies)

                                (1) Notify  Company in writing if General  Agent
                                desires  to  reinstate  a  policy(ies)  that has

                                Paragraph  entitled "Premium" for collecting the
                                gross   written    premium   of   any   financed
                                policy(ies)   regardless  of  the  financing  of
                                premium.

                                The  provisions  of  this  Section,   which  are
                                binding  upon  the  parties  subsequent  to  the
                                termination  of this  Agreement,  shall  survive
                                such  termination   until  all  obligations  are
                                finally discharged.

22. INDEMNIFICATION;            The General  Agent agrees to indemnify  and save
                                the Company, its affiliates and subsidiaries and

4.  "State/Legal  Requirements"  means  Company  action  which is based  upon an

I. Pay Agent a Commission pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof.

2. Perform such other administrative activities as may be agreed between Company
and Agent.

C. DUTIES AND AUTHORITY OF AGENT.

2. Adjust,  settle, pay and/or deny claims in accordance with applicable law and
the terms of the Insurance.

3. Receive and accept  proposals for, and solicit and sell  Insurance  issued by
Company in accordance with the guidelines and  instructions of Company  provided
to Agent.  Use of any  advertising  material with respect to the Insurance  must

4. Collect, receive and receipt for premiums on Insurance which are due Company,

<PAGE>
6. Promptly  forward to Company  records of all insurance  transactions  between
Insureds  and  Company,  as well as all  communications  and  notices  of claims
received from Insureds.

7. Perform faithfully and to the best of Agent's professional  knowledge,  skill

9.  Comply  fully  with  all  applicable  laws,   regulations  and  other  legal
requirements.

10. Maintain at all times relevant hereto all licenses and other  authorizations
necessary  to transact the  business  contemplated  hereunder in the state(s) in
which  Agent is  operating.  Agent  shall  furnish  Company  with  copies of all
licenses required of Agent.

11. If Insurance is sold pursuant hereto to Texas residents, obtain a license as
a local recording agent, or utilize a local recording agent resident in Texas or
other properly  licensed agent in Texas and provide to Company (a) the amount of
any cancellation refund due to any Texas Insured or policyholder,  if the refund
is calculated by Agent, and (b) verification that such  cancellation  refund was
remitted to the Insured or policyholder by Agent.

12. With respect to Insurance provided to Texas Insureds by Financial  Insurance
Exchange (if any),  obtain the  execution of and transmit to Company any and all
Subscriber  Agreements,  properly  executed  by  each  policyholder  or,  if  so
authorized by such policyholders, by Agent. Executed Subscriber Agreements shall

D.  COMMISSION.  In  consideration  of the  services to be  performed  by Agent,
Company  agrees to pay monthly to Agent an amount  ("Commission")  calculated by

shall  be paid to  Agent  unless  Agent  is in  compliance  with  the  licensing
requirements of the state in which the Insurance  business is written as well as
all other terms and conditions of this Agreement.

At all times, Agent shall participate in cancellation refunds or other return of
premiums at the same percentage at which Commission on such premiums was paid to
Agent.  This  requirement  shall  in  no  way  affect  or  be  affected  by  the
indemnification provided in Section N hereof.

Company  may  change  the rate of  Agent's  Commission  (i) as  necessitated  by
State/Legal Requirements;  or (ii) due to unprofitability if the unprofitability
cannot be corrected, at Company's sole discretion,  by an increase in the retail
price of the Insurance or a decrease in the coverage,  as determined by Company,
upon ninety (90) days written  notice.  The change in the Commission  Rate shall
apply with respect to Net Written  Premiums that are remitted by Agent after the
effective date of the change.

This Section shall survive termination of this Agreement.

E.  PRODUCT  CHANGES.  Company  may  cease  offering  an  Insurance  product  as

less  Commission due Agent, in a segregated  account.  All premiums shall be the
property of Company at all times,  and Agent shall not  commingle  premiums with
any of its other  funds.  Agent  shall  disburse  premiums  from the  segregated
account only to pay  cancellation  refunds and to remit  amounts due to Company.

from Servicer's breach of this Agreement or the negligence,  willful  misconduct
or fraudulent acts of Servicer or any of its officers, agents or employees.

In no event,  however,  shall Servicer  indemnify Company or hold it harmless as
hereinbefore  specified for the amount of the policy benefits which may be found
to be owed by Company, nor shall Servicer be responsible if the liability,  loss
or damages, costs and expenses arise due to any negligence or willful misconduct
or fraudulent acts of Company, its officers,  agents (excluding Servicer and its
subagents) or  employees,  or to the extent  Servicer  follows and complies with
Company's claims handling  procedures,  manuals,  guidelines and instructions in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Servicer shall pay all reasonable attorney's fees in connection with the defense
of any such  indemnifiable  action  should it  arise;  provided,  however,  that
Company shall have the right to decide  whether such action shall be compromised
or defended to its final  outcome and Company  shall direct such  compromise  or
defense.

If any claim payment is made hereunder to an ineligible  person by Servicer,  or
if it is determined  that more or less than the correct  amount has been paid by
Servicer,  Servicer then will attempt to recover or adjust such payment,  but is
not required to initiate  court  proceedings to effect any such  adjustment.  If
Servicer is unsuccessful in making such adjustments,  it shall so notify Company
in order that Company may take such appropriate action as may be available.

                      CHECK SPECIFICATION FORMAT ESSENTIALS

It is  important  to review and share this  information  with those  involved in
creating your check stock. We require 50 VOIDED, BURSTED checks to test prior to
usage.  The checks are reviewed to ensure the correct  information is printed on
the face of the checks.  The checks are then run  through  our check  processing
equipment  to test the  quality as well as the  accuracy  of the micr  line.  We
retain two samples for our files. If the enclosed check spec sheet does not meet
your  requirements,  please notify me. CHASE MANHATTAN BANK DELAWARE (CMBD) will
test all checks as quickly as possible,  usually  within 3 work days.  If checks
are not voided and bursted  prior to reaching  the bank,  a delay in testing may
occur.

CHECK SIZE

Recommended Check Size                                     71/2" wide x 3" long

Maximum Check Size                                    81/2|" wide x 3 2/3" long

various processing points throughout the banking system.

CHECK NUMBER.

CMBD'S  reporting  system  requires  that check numbers be no less than 6 digits

                             DISASTER RECOVERY PLAN

A Disaster Plan is designed to create a state of readiness  that will provide an
immediate  response to any  disaster  that  affects the  physical  plant and the
ability to use the facilities for normal business functions.

OBJECTIVE

The overall  recovery  objective is to restore  critical  functions Within 24-72
hours of a disaster  occurrence.  To facilitate  recovery  processing,  critical
business  functions are prioritized  according to their impact on the day to day
operation.  Functions related to claims,  premium processing and cash management
have the highest priority.

PREMISE

The premise for the Disaster Recovery Plan is built upon the following:

* A disaster has occurred causing  physical damage to the office  facilities and
equipment  resulting  in the  inability  to use the  facility to support  normal
operations;

*  Office  facility  is  inaccessible  following  the  disaster  and may  remain
inaccessible for an extended period of time;

* Computer equipment, software, data, documentation,  supplies, etc., located in
the building have been damaged or destroyed.

DISASTER DESCRIPTION

A disaster is defined as "any unplanned  event which results in the inability of
the corporation to support operations within the current environment,  requiring
relocation of the functions to an alternate processing environment."

ASSUMPTIONS

The Disaster Recovery Plan is based on the following assumptions:

* Recovery  procedures  have been written such that  recovery  personnel are not
dependent on the availability of any one key individual.

* Various  essential  materials and resources are stored off-site or are readily
available.

     -    Vital records
     -    Hardware and software
     -    Critical forms
     -    Department and account/customer phone lists
     -    Disaster recovery plan
     -    Business procedures.

* Plan  review,  maintenance  and updates are  scheduled  on a regular  basis to
ensure that the plan remains current and viable.

* The off-site storage facility, where critical backup files and information are
stored, is intact and accessible.

*  Organizations  external  to the  corporation,  such  as  customers,  vendors,
government  agencies  and others,  will be  reasonably  co-operative  during the
recovery period.

          resolution process which arises as a result of MBA's adjustment of any
          claim,  Company shall pay all costs in connection with such proceeding
          unless  such   proceeding   is  a  result  of  any  error,   omission,

     In the event of cancellation of warranties,  service contracts,  polices or
     the reduction of warranty,  service  contract fees or policy  premium,  MBA
     shall be liable for payment of the entire service  contract retail price or
     policy premium for any such service contract or policy,  as computed by the
     unearned warranty, service contract or premium formula specified by Company
     or the  warranty,  policy or  service  contract  sold.  MBA shall  have the

11.  Records/Audits:  MBA shall keep in a manner and form prescribed or approved
     by  Company,  true  and  accurate  records  and  books  of  account  of all
     transactions under this Agreement with Company. MBA shall hold and preserve
     the  property  of  Company  (which  shall  include  but not  limited to any
     records,  contracts,  contract forms,  policies,  policy forms,  brochures,
     applications,  manuals,  underwriting  guides  and all  other  property  of
     Company)  which shall at any time come into MBA's  possession  or under its
     control.  MBA shall  surrender  such  property to Company upon demand.  MBA
     shall, as often as required,  submit to a  representative  of Company,  all
     such books and records for examination  and copying as said  Representative
     shall  desire  to  make,  and  MBA  shall  cooperate  and  assist  in  such
     examination  or  audit.  Company  may  request  corrective  action  be made
     promptly and MBA shall  confirm  completion  thereof in writing.  Company's
     right to inspect  and copy  records  relating  to Company  and/or  business
     written by MBA under  this  Agreement  shall  survive  termination  of this
     Agreement  and shall  continue  until all  matters  affecting  Company  are
     settled. MBA shall make such reports of all transactions under this and all
     previous  Agreements  as may be required by Company.  MBA agrees to conduct
     daily and monthly  backups of its computer system and place a yearly backup
     in a  safety  deposit  for  protection  in the  event  of any  disaster  or
     emergency damaging MBA's systems and records.

12.  Administration  Runoff  Account:  MBA shall under the  direction of Company
     establish  an  account  in  Company's  and MBA's  name for the  purpose  of
     providing  Company  with  appropriate  funds in the event that Company must
     obtain an alternative  third party  administrator  with respect to business
     written hereunder due to MBA being unable to perform its duties pursuant to
     this Agreement. Such accounts shall not be an asset of MBA and shall not be
     attached  by MBA  creditors.  MBA  agrees to fund such trust  account  with
     eighteen  dollars  ($18.00)  per  service  contract,   extended   warranty,
     certificate  or  insurance  policy sold by MBA under this  Agreement.  Such
     funding shall occur  immediately  upon the premium or fee being received by
     MBA for such service contract, extended warranty,  certificate or insurance
     policy.  MBA shall have no authority to withdraw  funds from such  account.
     The trust  account  shall  continue  to be funded  until the amount held in
     trust  contains  eighteen  dollars  ($18.00)  for each  contract,  extended
     warranty,  certificate  or insurance  policy in force.  Thereupon,  Company
     shall  conduct a quarterly  review of such trust account to ensure that the
     amount  held in the account is equal to eighteen  dollars  ($18.00)  per in
     force service contract, extended warranty, certificate or insurance policy.
     If the amount held in the account is  deficient,  then funding by MBA shall
     resume  pursuant  to this  paragraph.  In the event the amount held in such
     trust account is in excess of that required by this  paragraph,  the amount
     of  such  excess  shall  be  a  credit  on  the  next  monthly  account  of
     transactions  between MBA and Company and Company may transfer  such excess
     to its  other  accounts.  The  trust  account  shall  be  established  in a
     federally  insured  bank and  shall  be  invested  in any of the  following
     instruments: Demand Accounts, Time Accounts or Certificates of Deposit. All
     interest earned on such accounts in each calendar year shall be paid to MBA
     within  forty-five  days after the end of such calendar  year. In the event
     this  Agreement is terminated  pursuant to Paragraph  14.B.,  MBA shall not
     service business  written pursuant to this Agreement after  termination and
     the trust account shall remain property of Company. However, any amounts in
     the trust  account in excess of those  required to meet the minimum  dollar
     amount per contract, warranty, certificate or policy issued hereunder shall
     be paid to MBA. Company may offset any amounts due MBA under this paragraph
     against any amounts MBA owes Company under this  Agreement.  if termination
     of this Agreement is pursuant to Paragraph  14.A. or Paragraph  14.C.,  MBA
     shall continue to service business written  hereunder after termination and
     Company  shall pay MBA from the  account  on a  quarterly  basis as each in
     force service contract, extended warranty,  certificate or insurance policy
     is earned out. For purposes of this payment  only,  such in force  business
     shall be considered as being earned pro-rata. In the event MBA is servicing
     business  after  termination  and the  projected  loss  ratio  for in force
     business  equals or exceeds a ninety  percent (90%) loss ratio or MBA is in
     violation of any of its  responsibilities  under this Agreement which apply
     to servicing  business  after  termination,  Company  reserves the right to
     require MBA to cease  servicing  such  business and move such  servicing to
     another  administrator.  In such event all payments of the trust account to

                                       4
<PAGE>
     MBA hereunder shall cease.  For purposes of this paragraph loss ratio shall
     be defined as the  percentage  resulting  from  losses and loss  adjustment
     expense being divided by the gross amount of money to Company from MBA from
     business produced hereunder.

13.  Indemnification  and Right of Offset:  MBA shall at all times indemnify and
     save  harmless  Company  from and  against  all manner of  actions,  suits,
     liabilities,  costs or  expenses  by reason of any act or failure to act on
     part of MBA, its employees,  subproducers  or agents.  Company shall at all
     times have the right to receive and apply any amount of money held by it on
     account of all  obligations  and  liabilities  of MBA to  Company,  whether
     arising from this Agreement or otherwise, and for all liabilities, damages,
     costs or expenses  which  Company may sustain or be liable by reason of any
     act or failure to act on the part of MBA, its employees,  subproducers,  or
     agents.

14.  Termination:

     A.   Either party may terminate  this Agreement by providing the other with
          not less than three  hundred and sixty five (365) days written  notice
          prior to the effective date of termination.

     B.   Company may terminate this Agreement:

          a.   Immediately  upon written notice in the event that MBA has failed
               to promptly  comply with any of its material  duties and material
               obligations under this Agreement or;
          b.   Immediately  upon MBA  committing  any fraudulent or illegal act,
               gross, willful or negligent misconduct or threat of insolvency.

     C.   MBA may terminate this Agreement upon providing  written notice of any
          fraudulent or illegal act, gross,  willful or negligent  misconduct or
          threat of insolvency.

     D.   Upon  termination of this Agreement,  MBA shall cease writing all such
          business on behalf of Company and any right to use the name of Company
          or any of its products shall immediately  cease. MBA shall immediately
          cause to be delivered  to Company all  property of Company,  including
          but  not  limited  to  applications,  unused  claims  drafts,  service
          contracts,  warranties,  policies,  pricing guides, manuals, forms and
          brochures.  If MBA fails to  deliver  such  items,  MBA shall bear any
          expense which Company may incur in obtaining  such items and MBA shall
          be liable in  damages  for losses  resulting  in whole or in part from
          MBA's failure to immediately  deliver such property to Company. In the
          event that  unused  drafts,  warranties,  applications,  contracts  or
          policies  cannot be accounted for by MBA, MBA hereby agrees to protect
          and forever defend Company  against and to hold harmless and indemnify
          Company on  account  of all  persons  and  claims  whatsoever  on said
          applications,  drafts, warranties,  policies or contracts.  Expiration
          and  renewals  rights  for all  such  policies  written  shall  be the
          property of MBA unless MBA is in default  under any  obligation  under
          this  Agreement,  then such renewal  rights and such polices  shall be
          property of Company.

15.  Miscellaneous:

     A.   This Agreement shall not be assigned  without prior written consent of
          Company and it may not be modified  verbally,  or be modified with any
          subsequent  practice or course of dealing by the  parties,  nor in any
          other manner other than by writing  signed by the parties  hereto.  No
          forbearance  or neglect  on the part of Company to enforce  any of the
          provisions of this Agreement  shall be construed as a waiver of any of

          written  memorandum  specifically  expressing  such waiver be made and
          subscribed by the President or a Vice President of Company.  No waiver
          of such rights  arising from any default or failure of  performance of
          MBA's  obligations  shall modify this  Agreement,  or extend to affect

          or local law or  regulation it shall be severed from the Agreement and

                         CONTINGENT COMMISSION ADDENDUM

This   addendum   is   effective   May  19,   1998  and  forms  a  part  of  the
Administration/Agency  Agreement between American Modern Home Insurance Company,
American  Family  Home  Insurance  Company,  American  Southern  Home  Insurance
Company,  American  Western  Home  Insurance  Company and  American  Modern Home
Service  Company  (hereinafter   collectively  referred  to  as  "Company")  and
Mechanical Breakdown Administrators, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "MBA").

MBA may qualify for contingent commissions as calculated in accordance with this
Contingent  Commission  Addendum and  predicated  on the  experience  of Expired
Service  Contracts  from  Subject  Business  written  under the  above-mentioned
Agreement.  The  Contingent  Commission  calculation  for such  Expired  Service
Contracts shall occur in the next subsequent  calendar quarter after the service
contract expiry. Definitions and the formula for the calculation are as follows:

     A.   Expired  Service  Contracts  - Shall mean all service  contracts  from
          Subject Business written under this Agreement which have come to their
          natural  expiry or have been  cancelled  and the cost of such contract
          due Company (both premium and fees) has been fully earned.

     B.   Subject  Business - Shall mean that business  written  pursuant to the
          above-mentioned  Agreement and  classified by Company as  Recreational
          Vehicle and Travel Trailer service contract business.

     C.   Interest  - Shall  mean all  interest  generated  by  Expired  Service
          Contracts  from Subject  Business in the calendar  quarter  subject to
          calculation.  This interest shall be generated at a rate equal to that
          of a ninety (90) day U.S. Treasury Bill.

     D.   The Contingent Commission shall be calculated in the following manner:

          There shall be deducted from premium and fees received by Company from
          Expired Service Contracts for Subject Business plus Interest,  the sum
          of:

          1.   Company's retention equal to twenty percent (20%) of premiums and
               fees due and received by Company for Expired  Service  Contracts;
               plus

          2.   The net amount of any front  commission  paid or  credited to MBA
               for Expired Service Contracts; plus

          3.   The total of  losses  paid,  loss  expense  paid and  outstanding
               losses for Expired Service  Contracts at the end calendar quarter
               subject to this calculation, less salvage recovered,  subrogation
               recovered and outstanding  losses for Extended Service  Contracts
               at  the  beginning  of  the  calendar  quarter  subject  to  this
               calculation; plus

          4.   Any carryover from a negative calculation in the calendar quarter
               immediately proceeding the quarter subject to this calculation.
<PAGE>
          In the event the  above  calculation  results  in a  positive  amount,
          fifty-five  percent  (55%)  of  such an  amount  shall  be  contingent
