                   For the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 1994

     This Amendment No.1 is being filed by the registrant to amend the figures
for loss per share and weighted average shares outstanding for the periods ended
December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 contained in the Selected Financial Data table
in Item 6 of the registrant's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
1994 (the "Form 10-K"), and to make corresponding amendments to the registrant's
consolidated statements of operations included as part of the Form 10-K.  The
figures for weighted average shares outstanding contained in the Form 10-K
inadvertently included shares underlying unexercised stock options as common
share equivalents, resulting in an overstatement of weighted average shares
outstanding and an understatement of loss per share for the periods indicated.

ITEM 6.   SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

     The following table sets forth certain historical information for Anchor
which is based on, and should be read in conjunction with, Anchor's audited

[ERNST & YOUNG LLP LETTERHEAD]



                         Report of Independent Auditors

Board of Directors and Shareholders
Anchor Pacific Underwriters, Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Anchor Pacific
Underwriters, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for
the year 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.  The consolidated financial statements
of Anchor Pacific Underwriters, Inc. and subsidiaries for the years ended
December 31, 1993 and 1992, were audited by other auditors whose report dated
April 1, 1994 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

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, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Anchor
Pacific Underwriters, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 1994, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

As more fully described in Note 14, a lawsuit has been filed, alledging that the
Company and several other unaffiliated entities placed insurance coverage with
an insurance company which subsequently became insolvent and failed to pay the
plaintiffs insurance claim.  The ultimate amount of liability cannot be
determined at this time.

                        INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

          We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Anchor
Pacific Underwriters, Inc. and subsidiaries, as of December 31, 1993 and 1992,
and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and
cash flows for the years then ended.  These consolidated financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Out responsibilitity is to
express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our
audits.  We did not audit the financial statements of Anchor Pacific Premium
Finance Co. Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, which statemetns reflect total
assets of $160,235 and $87,946 as of December 31, 1993 and 1992 and total
revenues of $20,079 for the year ended December 31, 1993 and $154 for the peiod
December 15, 1992 to December 31, 1992 (see note 1).  Those statements were
audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our
opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Anchor Pacific
Premium Finance Company is based solely on the report of the other auditors.

          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 consolidated financial statements are
free of material misstatement.   An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
consolidated financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits and
the report of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

          In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Anchor
Pacific Underwriters, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1992,
and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

          As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, effective January
1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109
"Accounting for Income Taxes."

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                                December 31, 1994


1. NATURE OF BUSINESS

Anchor Pacific Underwriters, Inc. (Anchor) is a holding company that provides
insurance administration and property and casualty brokerage services through
its five direct and indirect subsidiaries.  Administration services are provided
to employer groups of varying size, most of which are located in California and
Arizona.  Anchor also operates property and casualty insurance agencies which
service customers located primarily in the greater San Francisco Bay Area.

The consolidated financial statements include the results of all the
subsidiaries for the period owned by Anchor.  Acquired subsidiaries have been
accounted by the purchase method of accounting and fully consolidated.  All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The majority of revenue from third party administration services consists of
fees charged for the administration of fully insured and self-insured group
health plans.  Fee income is recognized at the time employers remit monthly
premiums and when services are rendered.

Insurance brokerage revenue consists principally of insurance commissions (net
of split or shared commissions), fees in lieu of commissions for insurance
placement services and interest income on fiduciary and corporate funds.
Insurance commissions and fees in lieu of commissions for insurance placement
services are recognized when protection is afforded under the insurance policy
(that is, when coverage is effective), the premium due under the policy is known
or can be reasonably estimated, and substantially all required services related
to placing the insurance have been provided.

Broker commission adjustments and commissions on premiums billed directly by
underwriters are recognized principally when such amounts can be reasonably
estimated.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

REVENUE RECOGNITION (CONTINUED)

In addition, Anchor receives annual contingency commissions from various
property and casualty insurance carriers.  The commissions are based upon the
carrier's loss experience as well as the number of policies placed.  Revenue
from contingency commissions is recognized when received.  Fee income for
services other than placement of insurance coverages is recognized as those
services are provided.

EXPENSE RECOGNITION

All costs are expensed as incurred.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Anchor considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months
or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents.

FIDUCIARY FUNDS AND LIABILITIES

Anchor, in its fiduciary capacity as a third party administrator of claims, has
certain fiduciary funds, segregated in specific bank accounts.  Those funds held
for self-funded employers and fully insured programs are classified as "Third
Party Administration Fiduciary Funds."

In its capacity as a property and casualty insurance broker, Anchor collects
premiums from insureds and, after deducting its commissions, remits the premiums
to the respective insurance underwriters.  Unremitted insurance premiums are
held in a fiduciary capacity.

In accordance with industry practice, interest earned on certain fiduciary funds
is included in Anchor's earnings.  Interest income on fiduciary funds amounted
to $64,139 in 1994, $55,907 in 1993 and $80,318 in 1992.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Anchor provides for future estimated credit losses based on an evaluation of a
current aging of the accounts, current economic conditions and other factors
necessary to provide for losses that can be reasonably anticipated.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying values of financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents,
fiduciary funds, accounts receivable, net premiums payable, accounts payable,
and debt obligations approximate their fair market value.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation and amortization are
computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets, which range from three to ten years.

Software costs relating to the upgrading and enhancing of existing programs are
capitalized and amortized over a period of five years.

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquisitions over the fair value
of net assets acquired.  Intangible assets relate to covenants not to compete,
customer lists and other contractual rights acquired in acquisitions.  Goodwill
is amortized on the straight-line basis over 10 to 25 years.  Covenants not to
compete and customer lists are amortized on the straight-line basis over 5 to 12
years.  Accumulated amortization of goodwill and other intangibles at December
31, 1994 and 1993 are $1,626,882 and $929,610, respectively.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

INCOME TAXES

Anchor and its subsidiaries file consolidated federal income tax returns and
combined returns for state franchise tax purposes.

Effective January 1, 1993, Anchor adopted the Financial Accounting Standards
Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("FASB") No. 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes."  FASB No. 109 requires the use of an asset and liability
approach for measuring deferred taxes based on temporary differences between
financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities existing at each
balance sheet date using enacted tax rates for years in which the related taxes
are expected to be paid or recovered.

The adoption of FASB 109 did not have a material effect on Anchor's accounting
for income taxes or net income.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform with the current
year presentation.

4. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS (CONTINUED)

The carrying values of intangibles are reviewed on an ongoing basis for
impairment.  If such review indicates that the intangibles will not be
recoverable, as determined based upon the discounted cash flows of the entity
acquired over the remaining amortization period, Anchor's carrying value of the
intangibles will be reduced by the estimated shortfall of cash flows.

In May 1992, Anchor purchased certain business of a property and casualty
broker.  During 1994, management determined it was necessary to reduce the
carrying value of the intangibles related to that purchase by $50,000.  The
remaining purchase price is being paid monthly as the business renews over the
remaining life of the contract.

5. SHORT-TERM DEBT

Anchor entered into a credit agreement (expiring October 25, 1995) with its
principal bank which provides for a revolving line of credit of $1,000,000.
Interest is paid monthly, at the bank's prime rate, as adjusted.  Anchor must
maintain a net worth greater than $800,000.  There was $600,000 and $-0-
outstanding borrowings at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

In addition, in conjunction with an acquisition, Anchor assumed a line of
credit, expiring May 5, 1995, which provides for maximum borrowings of $250,000.
Amounts advanced against the line bear interest at the bank's prime rate plus 1%
and are collateralized by the subsidiary's net commission portion of accounts
receivable along with its equipment and general intangibles.  The outstanding
borrowings against the line at December 31, 1994 are $250,000.

6. OTHER LONG-TERM LIABILITIES

Other long-term liabilities primarily consist of future contingent payments
relating to contractual agreements negotiated with the previous owners of
acquired businesses, deferred lease incentives and other liabilities not due
within one year.  The future contingent payments are generally based upon the
amount of net commission income generated from the books of business acquired.
At December 31, 1994, the scheduled future payments of these liabilities were as
follows:  1995, $271,698; 1996, $309,198; 1997, $302,921; 1998, $200,445.

The amount due within one year is included in current liabilities.

7. ACQUISITIONS

On August 1, 1994, Anchor's subsidiary, Harden & Company, acquired all of the
issued and outstanding common stock of Benefit Resources Inc. ("BRI"), a third-
party administrator located in Scottsdale, Arizona.  The purchase price
consisted of $300,000 cash and certain other acquisition expenses.  In addition,
Harden entered into a consulting contract pursuant to which it agreed to pay
$940,000 over a fifty-month period to an entity affiliated with the former
shareholders of BRI.  At the end of the fifty-month term, a final bonus payment
will be calculated, if any, that would be paid out from the fifty-first through
the ninety-eighth month.  The preliminary purchase price has been allocated to
assets and liabilities of BRI based upon their estimated respective fair values.
The preliminary purchase price exceeded the fair value of BRI's net assets by
approximately $212,000, which has been allocated to other intangible assets.

On October 1, 1994, Anchor acquired Putnam, Knudsen & Wieking, Inc. (PKW), a
property and casualty insurance brokerage firm.  The purchase price consisted of
the issuance of 120,077 shares of newly issued Anchor stock at a value
determined to be $12.50 per share for all 35,677 shares issued and outstanding
of PKW.  The purchase price also consisted of certain other acquisition
expenses.  In conjunction with this acquisition, Anchor also assumed
approximately $710,000 in relocation liabilities relating to PKW's former office
facilities.  The preliminary purchase price exceeded the fair value of PKW's net
assets by approximately $2,895,000, of which $2,210,000 has been allocated to
goodwill and $685,000 allocated to other intangible assets.

</TABLE>

At December 31, 1994, the Company had federal and state net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $523,000 and $95,000, respectively.  The net
operating losses will begin to expire in the year ending December 31, 2000.

At December 31, 1994, the Company had federal general business credits of
approximately $26,000.  The general business credits will begin to expire in the
year ending December 31, 1996.  At December 31, 1994, the Company had state tax
credits of approximately $16,000.  The state tax credits may be carried forward
indefinitely.

As indicated in Note 7, the Company issued approximately one-third of its
outstanding shares in 1994.  Federal and state tax law impose limitations on the
use of the net operating losses and tax credits following certain changes in
ownership.  If such an ownership change has occurred, the limitation could
reduce the amount of the benefit of the net operating losses and general
business credits that would be available to offset future taxable income
starting in the year of the ownership change.

9. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Cash and cash equivalents are on deposit in approximately 140 separate accounts
with certain accounts exceeding $100,000.  The FDIC insures accounts up to
$100,000 each.  If several accounts are maintained for the same entity at the
same bank, the FDIC applies the $100,000 limit to the combined group.  The
accounts are maintained in well-established local commercial banks.  These banks
have satisfied the FDIC's more stringent capitalization requirements, qualifying
them to accept broker deposits.  The banks have received high ratings from bank
rating services.  As a result, credit risk is deemed to be minimal.

10. RETIREMENT AND EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Anchor has a 401(k) profit sharing plan to which eligible employees may
contribute up to 20% (which amount was decreased to 15% as of January 1, 1995)
of their salaries, or a maximum of $9,240, as deferred compensation.  The plan
also provides for voluntary employer contributions whereby Anchor may match 50%
of the employee contribution up to a maximum of 3% of employees' gross salary.
Anchor made no contributions to the plan for 1994 and 1993.

In addition, Anchor offers active eligible employees certain life, health,
vision and dental benefits.  There are several plans which differ in amounts of
coverage and deductibles.  Anchor does not extend such benefits to retirees.

11. STOCK OPTION PLAN

In 1987, Anchor adopted an employee stock option plan and reserved 135,000
shares of stock for issuance pursuant to options granted thereunder.  The option
price was computed at the greater of the stock's fair market value at the time
of grant or $10.  Options were exercisable over a five-year period beginning a
year after the date of grant at a rate of 20% per year.  Information regarding
the plan is summarized below:

12. LEASES

Anchor rents its Concord, California facilities under an operating lease which
originally was to expire in 1996.  During 1994, management negotiated and
amended the lease to include additional space and to extend the expiration date
to 2004.  The terms of the original lease include a 12-month rent deferral.  The
total rent for the lease term which reflects the 12-month deferral is being
amortized on the straight-line basis over the full term of the lease.  Deferred
rent of approximately $233,000 at December 31, 1994 and $310,000 at December 31,
1993 are included in long-term liability.

A subsidiary located in Scottsdale, Arizona leases offices under an operating
lease which expires in 1997.  In addition, Anchor assumed the lease obligation
of certain Oakland facilities upon the acquisition of PKW.

The consolidated statements of operations reflect rent expense of $424,597,
$306,703 and $269,228 for 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively.

Future minimum annual lease payments under operating leases are as follows:

13. COMMITMENTS

In 1993, Anchor entered into an agreement with a third party to provide
information management services.  Such services include managing and operating
certain automated information systems as well as providing programming support
and the development of certain software applications.

The agreement provides for an initial term of three years (expiring March 28,
1996) with two (2) two-year automatic renewals unless a 90-day notice of
nonrenewal is given by either party.  Net costs for the initial term approximate
$416,000 per year.  Other terms and conditions include a penalty provision
should Anchor not continue the agreement through the automatic renewal periods.

14. CONTINGENCIES

Anchor is subject to certain legal proceedings and claims arising in connection
with its business.  It is management's opinion that the resolution of these
claims will not have a material effect on Anchor's consolidated financial
position.

However, PKW and several other entities not affiliated with Anchor or PKW were
named as defendants in a lawsuit in 1993 that alleges damages in the amount of
$1.5 million plus expenses relating to insurance placed with an Arizona-
domiciled carrier that has since become insolvent.  The ultimate outcome and the
individual responsibilities of the defendants of this suit cannot presently be
determined; however, a settlement of the lawsuit for the full amount of the
claim could have a material impact on Anchor's financial position.  Management
intends to continue to contest the claim vigorously.

15. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Anchor is contingently liable on certain bank loans made to three of its
shareholders.  The amounts outstanding on these loans total approximately
$127,642 and $171,000 at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On January 6, 1995, Anchor and Systems Industries (SI) consummated the merger of
the two companies.  Upon such consummation, shareholders of SI became entitled
to receive one share of Anchor common stock and one warrant to purchase one
share of Anchor common stock for every 42.3291 shares of issued and outstanding
SI common stock.  As a result of the merger, Anchor became a publicly traded
company.

Professional expenses incurred in conjunction with the merger, which approximate
$462,600, have been classified as a nonrecurring item on the consolidated
statement of operations.

In conjunction with the SI merger and subsequent to year end, Anchor's employee
and director stock option plans were terminated.  On December 5, 1994, the board
of directors approved a new stock option plan.  As of December 31, 1994, no
options had been granted under this new plan.
