           INDEPENDENT INSURANCE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

          NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.  In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited, consolidated,
condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only
normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position
as of  June 30, 1994 and December 31, 1993, the results of operations for he
three months and six months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993 and cash flows for
the three months and six months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993.



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

The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant
factors affecting the accompanying financial statements.  It has been the
Company's experience that undue weight cannot be given to the results of a
single period, as such results are not necessarily indicative of that for an
entire year.

Included within the accompanying tables is the result of exiting non-Home
Service lines of business in all companies, which will continue through 1994. 
The reduction in related comparative revenue and expense is reflected.

Net income for the current quarter totaled $3.6 million, or $.28 per share
compared with $2.1 million, or $.15 per share in the second quarter of 1993. 
For the first half of 1994, net income totaled $3.7 million versus a loss of
$35.6 million a year ago.  In 1993, a number of unusual adjustments impacted
net income in both periods.  In addition to the cumulative charge for required
accounting changes, results for the 1993 second quarter and six months include
an after-tax restructuring charge of $6.6 million, or $.50 per share,
associated with exiting non-Home Service lines of business in the
property/casualty subsidiaries.  Excluding these charges, second quarter
operating income from continuing operations (which excludes realized
investment gains and related taxes) for 1994 is $2.2 million or $.16 per
share, compared with $4.3 million or $.33 per share.  Year-to-date operating
income from continuing operations is $2.1 million or $.15 per share in 1994,
up $5.2 million from the loss of $3.1 million, or $.24 per share in the first
six months of 1993.  Earnings are not yet at a level desired or expected, and
management is still not pleased with the results.

Excluding realized investment gains, this quarter the life insurance
subsidiary reported pretax operating income of $1.1 million, a decrease of
$5.5 million from the year-ago second quarter.  Among the factors contributing
to the decrease was reduced investment income as a result of lower yields,
adverse claims experience during the wind-down of our group insurance lines of
business and small growth in net Home Service premiums to offset increases in
insurance costs. Home Service life insurance premiums grew five percent over
the second quarter in 
1993, however, decreasing accident/health premiums largely offset this
improvement.  Directly responding to the decreasing accident/health premiums,
the Company has introduced  the first of several new accident/health products.
On July 1, a new   Loss of Time  policy was issued in Florida.  This
nonassignable, personal reimbursement plan was designed after outside
marketing research was completed, and is unique to Independent Life.  This
product is scheduled to be introduced in other states in the near future.  At
the end of June, the exiting of the group insurance lines of business was
substantially complete, thus eliminating a line of business that has
historically diminished profits, including pretax losses of approximately $2.0
million thusfar in 1994.

Pretax operating earnings of the property/casualty subsidiaries totaled $1.0
million, and improved $2.8 million over the year ago quarter.  This comparison
excludes unusual adjustments in 1993, such as charges for restructuring and
abnormal catastrophes.  Throughout 1993, property/casualty operations were
diminished by the high cost of catastrophe reinsurance associated with our
non-Home Service policies.  The wind-down of such non-Home Service
property/casualty lines of business continues to be on target, and related
operations appear to have stabilized.

Corporatewide, credit quality of investments remains high, yet pressure on
yields of high quality, liquid investments and prepayments on securities has
slowed earnings growth in each subsidiary.

Assets totaled $1.41 billion at June 30, down from a year ago.  The decrease
is primarily related to the runoff of non-Home Service lines of
property/casualty business, coupled with the reduction in the carrying value
of our debt security investments in accordance with the required adoption of a
new accounting standard (SFAS 115) at year-end 1993.  Under the standard, the
carrying value of debt security investments is adjusted for interest rate
changes, without adjusting related liabilities.  The recent rise in interest
rates has caused the carrying value of certain debt security investments to
decrease approximately $28.0 million compared with a year ago, with a related
decrease in shareholders' equity of approximately $16.0 million, or $1.24 book
value per share.  It is important to note that had the standard permitted us
to market value the liabilities matched with these securities, a resulting
increase in shareholders  equity would have more than offset this decrease.

In other areas, during the quarter the A. M. Best Company reaffirmed its
Excellent  rating of Independent Life.  Also during the quarter, an
independent publication cited the Company as having the lowest debt of any
large publicly traded company domiciled in Florida at the end of 1993.

As previously announced, a regular quarterly cash dividend has been declared. 
A dividend of 6 cents per share on both voting and nonvoting common stock is
payable on September 1, 1994, to shareholders of record on August 11, 1994.
