ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATION

FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 1995 COMPARED TO FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 1994

     The Company  reported net income of $3.2 million and net income  applicable
to common shares of $3.1 million,  or $.16 per common share,  for the six months
ended June 30, 1995 compared to net income of $1.8  million,  or $.14 per common
share,  for the comparable  period of 1994.  Weighted  average common and common
equivalent shares outstanding increased 51.3% from 12.7 million in the first six
months of 1994 to 19.2 million in the first six months of 1995.  The increase in
the net income for the 1995 period is attributable to increases in every revenue
category  during the first six months of 1995 as  compared to the same period of
1994.

     Revenues  for the first six months of 1995 rose 38% to $16.6  million  from
$12.0 million for the prior year's comparable period. Income before income taxes
for the first half of 1995 increased 170% to $4,863,000  from $1,804,000 for the
comparable period of 1994. The relatively  higher percentage  increase in income
before income taxes  compared to revenues  resulted  primarily from decreases in
commissions,  general and  administrative  expenses,  and Contract benefits as a
percentage of revenues.

     Contract  premiums  totaled  $13.9  million  during  the first half of 1995
compared to $11.0  million for the same period of 1994,  an increase of 25%. The
increase in Contract premiums was primarily the result of increased new Contract
sales  resulting in a higher number of active  contracts in force.  New Contract
sales during the first six months of 1995 were 43,450  compared to 22,070 during
the 1994 period, an increase of 97%. At June 30, 1995, there were 167,272 active
Contracts in force compared to 138,271 at June 30, 1994, an increase of 21%.

     Associate  services  revenue  increased from $398,000 for the first half of
1994 to  $1,209,000  during  the same  period of 1995 as a result of higher  new
associate  enrollments.  New associates  enrolled during the first six months of
1995 were 18,498  compared to 6,472 for the same period of 1994,  an increase of
186%.  Future  revenues from  associate  services  will depend  primarily on the
number of new associates  enrolled,  but the Company  expects that such revenues
will  continue  to be  largely  offset by the direct  and  indirect  cost to the
Company of providing associate services.

     Interest  income  increased  as  a  result  of  increases  in  the  average
investments  outstanding and higher  interest rates on investments.  At June 30,
1995 the Company  reported  $18.7  million in cash and  investments  compared to
$11.7 million at June 30, 1994.

     Contract  benefits totaled $4.6 million for the first half of 1995 compared
to $3.7 million for the same period of 1994,  an increase of 24%.  However,  the
loss ratio for both periods remained constant at 33% of Contract premiums.


     Commissions  were $3.6 million for the first half of 1995  compared to $3.2
million for the same period of 1994, but decreased,  as a percentage of Contract
premiums,  from 29% to 26%.  Commission  expense,  as a  percentage  of Contract
premiums,  should approach 25% or less of Contract premiums in future years as a
result of changes in the commission  structure for contracts sold after March 1,
1995.

     General and administrative expenses during both the 1995 and 1994 six month
periods were $2.1 million and represented 15% and 19%, respectively, of Contract
premiums for such periods.  These  expenses are expected to continue to decrease
when  expressed  as a  percentage  of  Contract  premiums as a result of certain
economies of scale pertaining to the Company's operations.

     Direct  marketing  costs which include those costs other than  commissions,
which are directly associated with new contract sales, increased to $448,000 for
the first half of 1995 from $388,000 for the same period of 1994 but were fairly
consistent  as a percent of Contract  premiums (3% and 4%,  respectively).  As a
result  of  retirement  of  outstanding   debt,   interest   expense   decreased
substantially during the first six months of 1995 to $6,000 compared to $202,000
for the same period of 1994.

     Two  principal  operating  measures  monitored  by the Company are the loss
ratio and the expense ratio. The loss ratio represents Contract benefit costs as
a percentage of Contract  premiums.  The expense ratio  represents  the total of
commissions,  direct marketing  expenses,  general and administrative  expenses,
premium  taxes,  interest  and  certain  other  normal  operating  expenses as a
percentage of Contract premiums. The Company strives to maintain a combined loss
and expense ratio as low as possible.  The combined ratio does not measure total
profitability  because it does not take into account all revenues and  expenses.
The loss  ratio was 33% for both the first six  months of 1995 and the first six
months  of 1994  while  the  expense  ratio  for the  first  six  months of 1995
decreased  to 45% from 54% for the same period of 1994  resulting  in a combined
ratio  for the  first six  months  of 1995 of 78%  compared  to 87% for the same
period of 1994.

     The Company has recorded a provision for income taxes of $1,653,000 (34% of
pretax income,  all of which is deferred) for the first half of 1995 compared to
$26,000 for the same  period of 1994.  The 1995  provision  is  attributable  to
significant anticipated growth and reflects the Company's expectation that it is
more  likely than not that it will not be able to realize the future tax benefit
of its net operating loss carryforwards.

     Dividends paid on outstanding  preferred  stock during the first six months
of 1995 increased to $118,000 from $37,000 during the same period of 1994.  This
increase  is  attributable  to  dividends  paid on  outstanding  shares of $2.40
Cumulative  Convertible  Preferred  Stock issued  during June and July,  1994 in
conjunction  with a  public  unit  offering.  This  series  of  preferred  stock
automatically  converted to common  stock  pursuant to its terms on February 27,
1995, as described below.

SECOND QUARTER OF 1995 COMPARED TO THE SECOND QUARTER OF 1994

     The results of  operations in the second  quarter of 1995,  compared to the
second quarter of 1994,  reflect increases in revenues and expenses primarily as
a result of the same factors discussed in the comparison of the first six months
of 1995 compared to the first six months of 1994.

     Total revenues  increased 44% or approximately $2.7 million to $9.0 million
in the second  quarter of 1995 compared to $6.2 million in the second quarter of
1994,  primarily  as a result of  increase in Contract  premiums.  The  Contract
premium increase of approximately 30% primarily resulted from an increase in the
number of average active Contracts during the second quarter of 1995 compared to
the similar period in 1994.

     Contract  benefits totaled $2.5 million in the 1995 second quarter compared
to $1.9  million in the 1994 second  quarter and resulted in a loss ratio of 34%
and 33%,  respectively.  The Company's  expense ratio for the second  quarter of
1995 was 44% compared to 56% for the 1994 second quarter resulting in a combined
loss and expense ratio of 78% for the second quarter of 1995 compared to 89% for
the same period of 1994.

     The above  factors  resulted  in a 1995  second  quarter net income of $1.8
million compared to $905,000 for the second quarter of 1994.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     During the second quarter of 1994 the Company completed the sale of 346,500
units  consisting of a total of 346,500 shares of $2.40  Cumulative  Convertible
Preferred  Stock  and  2,425,500  common  stock  purchase  warrants  in a public
offering.  Each unit, sold at a price of $24.00 per unit, consisted of one share
of preferred stock and seven warrants.  Total proceeds of the offering were $8.3
million of which the Company received approximately $6.8 million after deducting
expenses  of the  offering.  These  proceeds  have been  invested  in short term
obligations of the U.S. Treasury and other government  agencies and will be used
primarily for the payment of commission advances upon the sale of new contracts.

     Each share of preferred stock had a cumulative  dividend of $2.40 per year,
a liquidation  preference of $24.00 per share and was convertible at any time at
the option of the holder into 14 shares of common stock. Each share of preferred
stock was also automatically  convertible into common stock if the closing price
of the preferred  stock exceeded  $33.60 for ten  consecutive  trading days. The
closing  price  of  preferred  stock  exceeded  such  price  level  for  the  10
consecutive  trading days ending February 24, 1995,  and, as a result,  the then
outstanding  277,700 shares of preferred stock were converted into common stock.
The  remaining  shares  of  preferred  stock  had  been  previously  voluntarily
converted. The automatic conversion of the preferred stock together with earlier
voluntary conversions will result in savings of $831,600 per year in dividends.

     Each  warrant  entitled the holder to purchase one share of common stock at
an exercise  price of $2.50 per share at any time until  September 8, 1999.  The
warrants  were  redeemable  at the option of the  Company at a price of $.25 per
warrant following the date upon which the last reported sale price of the common
stock of the  Company  exceeds  $3.75 per share  (150% of the  warrant  exercise
price) for five consecutive  trading days. The closing price of the common stock
exceeded that price level for the five consecutive  trading days ended April 20,
1995.

     The Company exercised its right to call the warrants for redemption and all
of the 2.4 million  warrants  with an exercise  price of $2.50 per warrant  were
exercised  and  resulted  in net cash  proceeds  to the  Company of more than $6
million.  As a result of the exercise,  the number of outstanding  shares of the
Company's  common stock  increased to  20,545,661  shares from  18,120,171.  The
proceeds  from the  exercise of the  warrants  have been  invested in short term
obligations of the U.S. Treasury and other government  agencies and will be used
primarily for the payment of commission advances upon the sale of new Contracts.

     Consolidated net cash provided by operating activities was $944,000 for the
first  six  months of 1995  compared  to  $1,114,000  for the 1994  period.  The
decrease  of $170,000 in cash  provided by  operations  during the first half of
1995 compared to the same period of 1994 resulted  primarily from an increase in
net income of $1.4 million,  increase in accrued  Contract  benefits of $507,000
and an  increase  in  deferred  income  taxes of $1.7  million but was more than
offset by the net  decreases  in  accounts  payable  and  accrued  expenses  and
contingency  reserves of $156,000,  net decrease in accrued  Contract  income of
$155,000,  net  increases  in other  assets of  $651,000  and net  increases  in
associate balances of $2.8 million.

     The Company had  consolidated  working capital of $17.5 million at June 30,
1995, an increase of $7.5 million  compared to  consolidated  working capital of
$10.0 million at December 31, 1994 and an increase of $10.0 million  compared to
June 30, 1994  working  capital of $7.5  million.  The  significant  increase in
working  capital from June 30, 1994 to June 30, 1995 was primarily the result of
increased  cash and  short-term  investments  of $7  million  together  with the
complete retirement of $2.4 million in outstanding debt.

     The Company has an  unsecured  revolving  credit  agreement  with Bank One,
Texas under which the Company may borrow up to $5 million,  as determined by the
borrowing base defined by the agreement,  through July, 1996. The borrowing base
is determined by a formula based on 80% of the net cash flow from certain of the
Company's  Contracts  that have been in existence for 18 months or more. At June
30,  1995,  the  borrowing  base  was  approximately  $4.5  million.  Under  the
agreement,  the interest  rate,  at the option of the Company,  is at the bank's
base lending rate or an adjusted London  interbank rate and is determined at the
time of borrowing. Interest is to be paid monthly and any outstanding principal,
unless converted to an 18 month term loan upon the occurrence of certain events,
comes due in its entirety on July 1, 1996. The agreement  contains  restrictions
which,  among other things,  require  maintenance of certain  financial  ratios,
restrict  encumbrance  of assets and  creation  of  indebtedness,  and limit the
payment of  dividends.  To date,  the  Company has not  borrowed  under the bank
credit agreement.

     The Company  believes that it has significant  ability to finance  expected
future  growth in Contract  sales based on its existing  amount of cash and cash
equivalents  at June 30, 1995 ($16.0  million) and the unused  revolving  credit
agreement availability of $4.5 million.

     Although the Company is the  operating  entity in many  jurisdictions,  the
Company's  subsidiaries  serve as operating  companies  in various  states which
regulate Contracts as insurance or specialized legal expense products.  The most
significant of these wholly-owned subsidiaries are Pre-Paid Legal Casualty, Inc.
("PPLCI") and Pre-Paid Legal Services,  Inc. of Florida ("PPLSIF").  The ability
of PPLCI and  PPLSIF to provide  funds to the  Company is subject to a number of
restrictions  under various  insurance laws in the  jurisdictions in which PPLCI
and PPLSIF conduct  business,  including  limitations on the amount of dividends
and  management  fees that may be paid and  requirements  to maintain  specified
levels of capital and reserves.  In addition  PPLCI will be required to maintain
its  stockholders'   equity  at  levels  sufficient  to  satisfy  various  state
regulatory requirements,  the most restrictive of which is currently $3 million.
Additional capital  requirements of either PPLCI or PPLSIF will be funded by the
Company in the form of capital contributions or surplus debentures.
