             Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
              Financial Condition and Results of Operations
       
The interim financial statements in Item 1 are unaudited, but in the opinion
of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for fair presentation of
results for such periods.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring
nature.  The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily
indicative of results for the full year.  These financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto
contained in the Company's annual report Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1994.

The following table indicates the more significant financial comparisons with
the applicable prior periods (dollars shown in thousands, except per share
amounts):

                                Overview
                                    
The Company filed an SEC Form 10-K for December 31, 1994 which indicated
Shareholders' Equity of $650,000.  In addition, the Company's wholly-owned
property and casualty subsidiary, South Carolina Insurance Company ("SCIC")
filed an amended annual statement with the South Carolina Department of
Insurance ("DOI") which indicated a deficiency in statutory capital and
surplus of $1.6 million.  Since December 31, 1994, the following events have
occurred with the intent of strengthening both Shareholders' Equity and
statutory capital and surplus:

In January of 1995, the Company raised approximately $5.1 million (net of
expenses) through a rights offering.  Of that amount, $5 million was directly
contributed to the capital of SCIC.

Effective April 13, 1995, the Company executed a $2 million note in the favor
of the investors currently holding approximately 49% of the Company's stock.
The proceeds of this note were directly contributed to the capital of SCIC.

The Company had excess cash of $400,000, which was contributed to the capital
of SCIC in May, 1995.

The Company has voluntarily curtailed premium writings to the point that the
only business the Company is retaining is mandatory pools and associations.
The Company is no longer writing "risk" insurance and is concentrating on the
servicing of "non-risk" fee-generating insurance, primarily the South and
North Carolina Reinsurance Facilities, the Federal "Write-Your-Own" Flood
program and the Kentucky Fair Plan.  The Company is also continuing to write
commercial lines business as a managing general agent for an unaffiliated
company.  Collectively, these programs have historically provided the Company
with profits.

The Company is working closely with the regulators as it formulates its
future operating plans.  While statutory capital and surplus at March 31, 
1995 is below the DOI's minimums, the two capital contributions totaling $2.4
million during the second quarter raised the surplus above the minimums.

                          Results of Operations
                                    
The net loss for the first quarter of 1995 was $2.0 million ($.13 per share),
compared to net income of $219,000 ($.03 per share) for the first quarter of
1994.  The first quarter of 1995 includes $5.8 million of commission and
service income on the Company's fee-generating business.  This is a decrease
of $242,000 compared to the same period in 1994 primarily due to the
previously disclosed reduction in the Company's block of business with the
South Carolina Reinsurance Facility ("SCRF") that is being serviced.
However, the Company did show an increase in income from the fees received on
losses serviced for the SCRF and all fees generated by the North Carolina
Reinsurance Facility, Kentucky Fair Plan and the commercial business the
Company is writing as a managing general agent.

The first quarter of 1995 also includes $4.2 million of losses and loss
adjustment expenses ("LAE") on business the Company plans to no longer retain
(excluding the West Coast business discussed below).  Premiums earned on this
business in the first quarter was $2.5 million.  Premiums earned has been
reduced by the premiums the Company pays for catastrophe reinsurance.  The
Company is currently negotiating with reinsurers to bring this cost to a
level more consistent with the fact that the Company is no longer writing 
high-risk property premiums.  LAE, primarily legal expenses, on the Company's
West Coast business, which the Company stopped writing in 1986, has
historically shown very poor results.  The related legal expenses in the
quarter were the lowest since the Company stopped writing this business.
Additionally, new claims reported on this business have slowed and appear to
be less severe than in the past.  Management is cautiously optimistic that
this business is beginning to stabilize.

Included in the results for the first quarter of 1994 was $3 million in
settlement expense related to the second quarter settlement of a dispute that
was scheduled for arbitration. Additionally, net premiums written in 1994 had
already begun to drop as the Company began to downsize operations.

Net investment income for the first quarter of 1995 was $767,000, compared to
$1.6 million for the same quarter in 1994.  This decrease is due to a large
amount of bond sales in the third and fourth quarter of 1994.  Net realized
investment gains of $65,000 were recognized in the first quarter of 1995,
compared to $1.8 million for the same period in 1994.

Other income in 1995 includes an $85,000 gain on the sale of certain assets
of Forest Lake Travel Service, Inc.  This subsidiary has been dissolved in 
the second quarter of 1995 as it is no longer a part of Company's operating
plans.  Other income in 1994 includes a $625,000 gain in connection with the
sale of the assets of the Company's premium financing subsidiary.  

The 1995 provision for taxes on income from operations was $11,000 for the
quarter.  These charges resulted from the tax limitations on offsetting the
Company's net operating loss carryforwards against state income taxes and
certain life insurance taxable income.  The Company's tax net operating loss
carryforward at March 31, 1995 is approximately $91.3 million.

                     Capital Resources and Liquidity
                                    
The investment portfolio at March 31, 1995 was $45.5 million, compared to
$61.9 million at the end of 1994.  Shareholders' equity at March 31, 1995 was
$4.5 million ($.27 per share), compared to $650,000 ($.05 per share) at
December 31, 1994.  This increase is due to the previously mentioned proceeds
received from the rights offering and increases in the market value of the
Company's investment portfolio.  The increase in the market value of the
Company's bond and stock portfolio resulted in an unrealized gain of $559,000.
The market value of the bond portfolio as of May 31, 1995 shows additional
increases.

Cash used in operations during the first quarter of 1995 was $362,000,
compared to $700,000 in 1994. The outflows in both periods were due to
reduced premium volume and the payment of claims for the three months.  The
Company is currently working on reducing expenses in order to limit the cash
outflows.  While additional cash drain is anticipated in 1995, the expected
amount is less than the $30.9 million of cash and short-term investments held
at March 31, 1995.  Hence, no unplanned sales of securities are anticipated
during 1995.
