       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, 1995 and December 31, 1994, the results of
  operations for the three months and six months ended June 30,
  1995 and 1994 and cash flows for the three months and six
  months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994.




       INDEPENDENT INSURANCE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              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.

Results for both the second quarter of 1995 and the first six
months of this year improved over the similar periods of 1994.
Net income, which includes realized investment gains and losses,
this quarter totaled $4.4 million, or $.33 per share compared
with $3.6 million, or $.28 per share in the year-ago quarter.
Net income for the first half of 1995 totaled $7.2 million, or
$.55 per share compared with $3.7 million, or $.28 per share in
the first six months of 1994.  All material lines of non-Home
Service business were wound down by the end of 1994; accordingly,
the amounts in the accompanying tables for 1995 periods reflect
Home Service business only.

Pretax income, exclusive of realized investment gains and losses,
was $6.6 million in the current quarter, an increase of $3.7
million over the second quarter of 1994.  This improvement stems
primarily from favorable policy benefit experience and lower
administrative costs.  Home Service premiums this quarter grew
modestly over the comparable quarter in 1994.  Property/casualty
premiums rose due to product demand in this segment.  Life and
accident/health premiums remained level, as a moderate increase
in the accident/health lines was offset by a similar decrease in
the life lines.  Also, during the current three months management
lowered  its estimate of ultimate restructuring costs that had
been previously recorded in conjunction with our announced plan
to exit non-Home Service lines of business.  This revision added
$1.1 million of pretax income in this quarter.

At the end of  June, book value per share reached $24.60, an
increase of  $2.62 during the current quarter.  Of the
improvement, a gain of $2.35 is attributable to recording an
increase in the market value of our debt and equity security
investments.  Accounting standards require the Company to record
such changes directly through shareholders' equity without
affecting reported earnings.  As we have reported in the past,
the market value of our debt securities available for sale will
fluctuate with changing interest rates.  The increase in market
value thus far in 1995 has more than offset the decrease the
Company recorded in 1994 in the rising interest rate environment.

As was previously communicated to you, at the July 12 meeting of
the Board of Directors, the Board authorized management to look
into various methods of maximizing shareholder value, including
investigating the terms on which the Company might be combined
with another company.  Alex. Brown & Sons, Inc., the Company's
investment banker, will act as its financial advisor.  It should
be emphasized that the process continues to be in a preliminary
stage and that there is no assurance any transaction involving
the Company will take place.

Also at the meeting, the Board of Directors declared the regular
cash dividend.  A dividend of  6 cents per share on voting and
nonvoting common stock of the corporation is payable September 1,
1995, to shareholders of record at the close of business on
August 11, 1995.



Item 6.         Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K

(b)     There were no reports on Form 8-K filed for the three
        months ended September 30, 1994.
