Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
 Results of Operations

                             Financial Condition

      As shown by the Statements of Cash Flows, cash flow provided by 
      operations for the nine month period under review was equal to 
      13.6% of total income, which compares to 12.8% for the same period 
      in the previous year.  Cash flows are expected to remain in a 
      similar range in the future.  The Company utilizes its excess cash 
      flow for investing purposes and at September 30, 1995 
      approximately 67% of total assets were readily convertible into 
      cash.  Measured in dollars, this amounts to approximately 
      $13,979,000 on total assets of $20,943,000. At September 30, 1994, 
      approximately $13,187,000 of the Company's assets were readily 
      convertable into cash, amounting to approximately 67% on total 
      assets of $19,067,000.

      There has been no material change in the Company's asset mix or in 
      the makeup of its liabilities.

      The Company does not have any material commitment for capital 
      expenditures at this time.

                            Results of Operations

      During the nine month period under review the Company's net 
      premium income increased by approximately $354,000 or 8.3% over 
      the same period in the prior year, contributing to an increase of 
      approximately $457,000 or 9.5% in total income.  This compares 
      with an increase in total income of approximately $636,000 or 
      15.3% for the same period prior year.

      Increases in total net premium income are the result of continued 
      growth in annualized premium in force which amounted to 
      approximately $390,000 during the nine month period under review 
      and approximately $440,000 for the same period prior year.

      The improvement in total income was negated by a disproportional 
      increase in general expenses of approximately 25% or $513,000, 
      resulting in a decline of approximately $252,000 in net income 
      during the period.  This is contrasted with an increase of 
      approximately 16% or $274,000 and a corresponding decrease in net 
      income of approximately $29,000 for the same period prior year.

      A significant portion of the increase in general expenses is 
      attributable to legal fees and other expenses which the Company 
      incurred in connection with various shareholder proposals (see 
      PART II, Item 4."Submission of Matters to a vote of Security 
      Holders").  Since these proposals have been voted upon by the 
      Company's shareholders, the Company does not expect to continue to 
      incur these increased expenses, although no assurance can be 
      given.
