                     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 September 30, 1995

   (1)   Basis of Presentation
         The condensed financial statements included herein of Capitol 
         Transamerica Corporation (the "Company"), other than the Consolidated
         Balance Sheet as of December 31, 1994, and the Consolidated Statement
         of Cash Flows as of December 31, 1994, have been prepared by the Compa-
         ny without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the 
         Securities Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote dis-
         closures normally included in financial statements prepared in accor-
         dance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed
         or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.

         Although the Company believes the disclosures are adequate to make the
         information presented not misleading, it is suggested that these con-
         densed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
         statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's 1994 annual
         report on Form 10-K. Wherever applicable, prior period's information 
         has been restated to reflect the June 15, 1992 three-for-two stock 
         split effected as a stock dividend. Certain amounts in the prior 
         periods' consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to 
         conform with the 1995 presentation.

   (2)   Income Per Share
         Net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted
         average number of shares of stock outstanding during the period.

   (3)   Income Taxes
         Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differ-
         ences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for finan-
         cial statement purposes and the amounts used for income taxes.

   (4)   Common Stock Options
         There were 16,871 options exercised during the nine months ended Sep-
         tember 30, 1995 and there were 27,078 options exercised during the 
         nine months ended September 30, 1994. For further information regard-
         ing stock options refer to Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial 
         Statements included in the Company's 1994 annual report.

   (5)   Dividends
         1995

   (6)   Investments
         Fixed maturities and equity securities are classified as available-for-
         sale and, accordingly, are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains
         and losses reported as a separate component of shareholders' investment
         net of taxes. The cost of fixed maturities is adjusted for amortization
         of premiums and discounts to maturity. Fixed maturities and equity 
         securities deemed to have declines in value that are other than tempo-
         rary are written down through the statement of income to carrying 
         values equal to their estimated fair values.

         Investment real estate is carried at cost net of accumulated deprecia-
         tion of $116,4862, $82,130 and $72,080 as of September 30, 1995, De-
         cember 31, 1994 and September 30, 1994, respectively.

         Cost of investments sold is determined under the specific identifica-
         tion method.

   (7)   Contingent Liabilities
         The Company is a defendant in certain lawsuits involving complaints
         which demand damages and recoveries for claims and losses alledgedly
         related to risks insured by the Company. In the opinion of management,
         such lawsuits are routine in that they result from the ordinary course
         of business in the insurance industry. The reserve for losses includes
         management's estimates of the probable ultimate cost of settling all 
         losses involving lawsuits.

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

OVERVIEW

Capitol Transamerica Corporation (the "Company") is an insurance holding company
operating in 33 states which writes, through its insurance subsidiaries, both 
property-casualty and fidelity-surety insurance. The property-casualty segement
accounts for approximately 78% of the business written while the fidelity-surety
segment accounts for approximately 22% of the Company's business.

The underwriting cylcles of the property-casualty insurance industry have been 
characterized by peak periods of adequate rates, underwriting profits and lower
combined ratios, while the downward side of the cycle is characterized by inade-
quate rates, underwriting losses and, as a result, higher combined ratios.  The 
adequacy of premium rates is affected primarily by the severity and frequency of
claims which in turn are affected by natural disasters, regulatory measures and
court decisions which continue to uphold the "deep pocket" theory in awarding
against insurance companies. Unfortunately for the insurance industry, the trend
of increasing price competition has continued as has the number of significant
natural disasters. This combination has resulted in considerable reduction in 
underwriting profitability for the industry as a whole.

Inflation also has a significant impact on the insurance industry in general, as
well as on the Company. Inflation creates higher claim costs, which are then
matched currently against premiums whose rating statistics were developed from
data of previous years. In recent inflationary periods, this has led to inade-
quate rate structures, since rate regualtors are slow to grant rate adjustments
at times when the overall economy is in an inflationary cycle. Studies have 
shown that premium rates trail the claim experience by a period of two years or 
more. Adequate premium rates continue to be of concern to the Company as well as
the entire property-casulaty insurance industry.

OPERATING RESULTS

As mentioned in the Overview section, the property-casualty insurance industry
is in a downward cycle. However, based on its operating results the Company is 
in a peak period as it continues to generate considerable underwriting profits.
The Company's increase in premiums earned has been strictly due to volume 
increases resulting from new product lines, expansion of coverages and entry in-
to new geographic territories. The ability to maintain a steady combined ratio,
typically 15 to 20 points below the industry average, is due to its basic phi-
losophy of generating underwriting profits. When the industry's cycle reverses,
the Company will be in an excellent position to take advantage of premium rate
increases which will benefit the Company's overall profitability.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1995 gross premiums written were 
$52,173,363 compared with $58,564,342 for the year ended December 31, 1994 and 
$44,912,718 at September 30, 1994.

Premiums earned are recognized as net revenues after reduction for reinsurance
ceded and after establishment of the provision for the pro-rata unearned portion
of premiums written. Net premiums earned totaled $46,578,365, $52,461,456 and 
$38,768,832 for the respective periods; and net unearned premiums were 
$30,747,328, $26,794,249 and $27,420,251 at each respective period.

The Company's underwriting results can be measured by reference to the combined loss and expense ratios. This
tabulation includes the operating results of the two subsidiary insurance companies on a statutory basis. Loss and loss
adjustment expenses are stated as a ratio of net premiums earned, while underwriting expenses are stated as a ratio of net
premiums written. The combined ratios were as follows:

The Company's combined loss and expense ratios compare very favorably with the industry average of 106.3% for the 
first six months of 1995 and 108.5% for the full year of 1994.

REINSURANCE

The Company follows the customary practice of reinsuring with other companies,
i.e., ceding a portion of its exposure on the policies it has written. This pro-
gram of reinsurance permits the Company greater diversification of business and
the ability to write larger policies while limiting the extent of its maximum
net loss. It provides protection for the Company against unusually serious oc-
currences in which a number of claims could produce a large aggregate loss. 
Management continually monitors the Company's reinsurance program to obtain pro-
tection that should be adequate to ensure the availability of funds for losses
while maintaining future growth.

NET INVESTMENT INCOME AND REALIZED GAINS

In accordance with SFAS No. 115, the Company's fixed maturities and equity se-
curites are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value. The
unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, are reported as a separate component of
shareholders investment.

Interest and Dividend Income: Interest on fixed maturities is recorded as income
when earned and is adjusted for any amortization of purchase premium or dis-
count. Dividends on equity securities are recorded as income on ex-dividend 
dates.

The $16,798,0000 increase in unrealized gains for 1995 was composed of a
$4,596,000 increase in fixed maturities and a $12,202,000 increase in equity se-
curities. The Company not only has gained back all the unrealized losses ex-
perienced in 1994, but has another $10,546,000 in additional appreciation. Net
investment income for the nine months of 1995 was up 23% over the first nine 
months of 1994. Net unrealized gains (losses) were $15,802,536, ($995,065) and 
$687,250 as of September 30, 1995, December 31, 1994 and September 30, 1994.

INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense is based on income reported for financial statement purposes
and tax laws and rates in effect for the years presented. Deferred federal in-
come taxes arise from timing differences between the recognition of income de-
termined for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes. Such timing
differences are related principally to the deferral of policy acquisition costs,
the recognition of unearned premiums, and discounting the claims reserves for
tax purposes. Deferred taxes are also provided on unrealized gains and losses.

LOSS RESERVES

Reserves for loss and loss adjustment expenses reflect the Company's best esti-
mate of the liability for the ultimate cost of reported claims and incurred but
not reported (IBNR) claims as of the end of each period. The estimates are based
on past claim experience and consider current claim trends as well as social and
economic conditions. The Company's reserve for loss and loss adjustment expenses
was $35,421,097 as of September 30, 1995 compared with $27,475,323 as of De-
cember 31, 1994 and $24,252,560 as of September 30,1994. This increase is a com-
bination of giving consideration for the increase in premium volume, increased 
retention on all lines of coverages written and an increase in the IBNR re-
serves. Management continues to closely monitor the reserve development trends 
and projections as it attempts to stabilize the loss reserve development which 
has occurred in recent years.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity refers to the Company's ability to meet obligations as they become
due. The obligations and cash outflow of the Company include claims settlements,
acquisition and administrative expenses, investment purchases and dividends to 
shareholders. In addition to satisfying obligations and cash outflow through
premium collections, there is cash inflow obtained from interest and dividend 
income, maturities and sales of investments. Because cash inflow from premiums
is received in advance of cash outflow required to settle claims, the Company
accumulates funds which it invests pending liquidity requirements. Therefore,
investments represent the majority (84.1%, 82.1% and 81.0% at each respective 
period) of the Company's assets. Cash outflow can be unpredictable for two rea-
sons: first, a large portion of liabilities representing loss reserves have un-
certainty regarding settlement dates; and second, there is potential for losses
occurring either individually or in aggregate. As a result, the Company main-
tains adequate short-term investment programs necessary to ensure the availa-
bility of funds. The investment program is structured so that a forced sale li-
quidation of fixed maturities should not be necessary during the course of ordi-
nary business involvement and activities. The Company has no material capital
expenditure commitments.

                             NEWS RELEASE
         1995 EARNINGS INCREASE 25.3% THROUGH FIRST NINE MONTHS

Madison, Wisconsin, October 20, 1995- George A. Fait, Chairman, today announced 
that third quarter earnings were up 9.8% over the comparable quarter of 1994.
Consolidated net income for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 was $2.9 
million or $.43 per share compared with $2.6 million or $.39 per share for the 
same period in 1994. 

     Year to date earnings were $9.8 million or $1.46 per share compared with 
$7.8 million or $1.17 per share in 1994, a 25.3% increase.  Nine months income 
in 1995 included $868,000 or $.13 per share of pre-tax capital gains while the  
first nine months of 1994 included pre-tax capital losses of $114,000 or $.02 
per share. Excluding capital gains or losses, net of tax, income for the nine 
months of 1995 was $1.37 per share compared with $1.18 per share for the same 
period last year, a 16.8% increase.

     Third quarter 1995 gross premiums written were $18.2 million compared with
$15.5 million for the same period in 1994, a $2.7 million increase or $18.0%. 
Net premiums earned for the third quarter increased from $13.6 million in 1994
to $16.5 million in 1995, a 21.4% increase.

     Gross premiums written for the first nine months of 1995 were $52.2 million
compared with $44.9 million for the same period in 1994, a 16.2% increase.  Net 
premiums earned increased 20.1% for the first nine months from $38.8 million in 
1994 to $46.6 million in 1995.

     Total cash and invested assets at September 30, 1995 were $138.1 million 
compared with $101.6 million at September 30, 1994, an increase of 35.9%. Net 
investment income for the nine months of 1995 was $4.8 million compared with 
$3.9 million for the same period in 1994, a 22.9% increase.

     Shareholders' equity at September 30, 1995 was $87.0 million or $12.98 per
share compared with $68.1 million or $10.20 per share for the same period in 
1994, a 27.7% increase.

     Dividends paid in the first nine months of 1995 totaled $.28 per share. The
Board of Directors increased the quarterly dividend policy to $.10 per share
beginning with the second quarter of 1995.

     Fait stated "the combined net loss, loss expense and general expense ratio
for the nine months of 1995 was 83.4% compared with 79.8% for the like period of
1994. The ability to maintain a favorable combined ratio while increasing prem-
ium volume indicates that we have kept true to our basic philosophy of producing
underwriting profits while continuing to increase investment income resulting in
positive earnings.  Overall the Company continues to show a most favorable com-
bined ratio compared to the industry average of 106.3% for the first six months
of 1995 and 108.0% for the full year of 1994."

     The Company anticipates achieving its goal of increasing premiums written 
by 15% over 1994 and is currently seeking admission in additional states. By 
utilizing resources generated by its strong financial position, the Company is
continuing to meet the challenge of maintaining a steady pattern of growth and
expansion with continuing profitability.

     Market value in excess of cost of the Company's investment portfolio in-
creased by $16.8 million in the first nine months due to increased values in the
equity portfolio and the decrease in interest rates which resulted in an 
increase in appreciation of the Company's bond portfolio.
