          NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.   The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, which reflect
all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) that management
believes necessary to fairly present results of interim operations, should be
read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(including the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) included in the
Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 1995, which are included in the Company's Annual Report filed on
Form 10-K for such year (the "1995 10-K").  Results of operations for interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results of operations.  The
consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1995 was extracted from the audited
annual financial statements and does not include all disclosures required by
generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements.

2.   Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform with
the 1996 presentation.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and      
        Results of Interim Operations

     The following should be read in conjunction with "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in the
1995 10-K.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     During each of the three month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 the
Company operated profitably and net cash was provided from operations. 

     During 1996, the Company sold certain "Available for Sale" securities and
invested the proceeds in securities with longer duration.  As more fully
described in the 1995 10-K, securities classified as "Available for Sale" are
carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reflected as a separate
component of shareholders' equity, net of taxes.  Principally as a result of
increases in market interest rates during 1996, the unrealized gain on
investments at the end of 1995 decreased to an unrealized loss of $2,007,000
as of March 31, 1996.  While this has resulted in a decrease in shareholders'
equity and book value per share it had no effect on results of operations or
cash flows.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS--THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 COMPARED TO THE THREE
MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995

     Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1996 increased by
$2,552,000 compared to the three months ended March 31, 1995 due to higher
premium rates charged on certain lines of business, including additional
premiums   related to   increased   minimum automobile   liability   coverage

required by New York State in 1996.  The Company is continuing its program,
which began in the fourth quarter of 1995, of raising prices to cover
increased loss costs in certain lines of business and reducing volume in
business lines that have not been profitable.

     Net investment income increased in 1996 compared to 1995 reflecting
growth in invested assets and higher investment yields.  The decrease in
service fee income was principally the result of a reduction in the estimate
of fees earned as a servicing carrier for the New York Public Automobile Pool
and assigned risk business.   
     
     Losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred in 1996 increased by
$1,146,000 and $381,000, respectively, compared to 1995.  These increases were
primarily due to catastrophe losses estimated at approximately $300,000, less
favorable claims experience due to severe winter storms and an unusually high
assessment from the New York State workers' compensation fund.

     Other underwriting expenses in 1996 increased by $810,000 as a result of
higher operating costs coupled with severance benefits for certain employees.
