                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                     QUARTERS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995 AND 1994

Note 1

         In the opinion of the Registrant, the accompanying unaudited,
consolidated, condensed financial statements contain all adjustments
(consisting of only normal occurring accruals) necessary to present fairly its
financial position as of March 31, 1995, and the results of its operations and
statement of cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 1995.

Note 2

         The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1995
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a)      Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

         The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis
of generally accepted accounting principles which vary from statutory reporting
practices prescribed or permitted for insurance companies by regulatory
authorities.

(b)      Principles of Consolidation

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements include Mobile
America Corporation (the Company) and its subsidiaries, all of which are
wholly-owned.  All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation.

(c)      Basis of Inventory Valuation

         Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost being
determined primarily under the specific identification method.

                                      -5-
<PAGE>   8
(d)      Investments

         The portfolio of marketable equity securities available for sale is
carried at fair value.  Fixed maturity investments are all classified as held
to maturity and are recorded at amortized cost.  The cost of securities sold is
based upon the specific identification method and any gains or losses are
reflected in earnings.

(e)      Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs

         The costs associated with acquiring new insurance contracts have been
deferred.  Such costs are being amortized over the premium paying period or in
proportion to premiums earned on those contracts.

(f)      Depreciation and Amortization

         Depreciation and amortization of properties, equipment and leasehold
improvements are calculated principally under the straight-line method based on
the estimated useful life of the asset for financial reporting purposes.

         Maintenance and repairs are charged to expenses as incurred; additions
and major betterments are capitalized and depreciated.  At the time of
retirement or other disposition of property, equipment or leasehold
improvements, the accounts are relieved of the cost and the related accumulated
depreciation and any gains or losses are reflected in income.

(g)      Insurance Contracts

         The insurance contracts accounted for in these financial statements
include both short-duration contracts and long-duration contracts.
Short-duration contracts provide insurance protection for a fixed period of
short duration and enable the insurer to cancel the contract or to adjust the
provisions at the end of any contract period.  Most property-liability
insurance contracts and certain term life insurance contracts,

                                      -6-
<PAGE>   9
such as credit life insurance, are short-duration contracts.  Long-duration
contracts generally are not subject to unilateral changes in their provisions
and require the performance of various functions and services, including
insurance protection, for an extended period.  Long-duration contracts include
whole-life contracts and guaranteed renewable term life contracts.  Accident
and health insurance contracts may be short-duration or long-duration depending
on whether the contracts are expected to remain in force for an extended
period.  The Company has not issued any participating policies.

(h)      Insurance Loss Reserves

         The liability for future policy benefits of long-duration contracts
has been provided for on a net level premium method based on estimated
investment yields, withdrawals, mortality, terminations, morbidity, and other
assumptions which were appropriate at the time the contracts were issued.  Such
estimates were based on past experience as adjusted to provide for possible
adverse deviation from the estimates.  Interest assumptions are based on
historical assumptions and experience, and range from 3% to 4.5% at March 31,
1995.

         The liabilities for unpaid claims of short-duration contracts and
related adjustment expenses are determined using case basis evaluations and
statistical analysis and represent estimates of the ultimate net cost of all
reported and unreported claims relating to insured events which are unpaid at
year-end.  The liabilities include estimates of future trends in claims
severity and frequency and other factors which could vary as the claims are
ultimately settled.  Although such estimates may vary, management believes that
the liabilities for unpaid claims and related adjustment expenses are adequate.
The estimates are continually reviewed, and as adjustments to these liabilities
become necessary, they are reflected in current operations.

                                      -7-
<PAGE>   10
(i)      Recognition of Premium Revenues and Costs

         Premiums for long-duration contracts are recognized as revenues when
due from the policyholders.  A liability for the expected costs relating to
such long-duration contracts is accrued over the current and expected renewal
periods.

         Premiums for short-duration contracts are recognized as revenues over
the period of the contract in proportion to the amount and duration of
insurance protection provided.

(j)      Commitments and Contingencies

         The Internal Revenue Service is currently examining the Company's 1992
federal income tax return.  To date, no final examination adjustments have been
proposed by the IRS.  A preliminary adjustment is being evaluated for which
management and independent tax counsel believe the Company has a justified
position with respect to its original filing.  Accordingly, no accrual has been
recorded for this preliminary adjustment.

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


         Total consolidated revenues decreased by 13% to $9,372,252 in the
first quarter of 1995 from $10,812,006 for the first quarter of 1994.


         Insurance premiums earned decreased by 20% from the first quarter of
1994 due to a higher cession of direct earned premium to reinsurers.  Direct
premium earned grew in the first quarter of 1995 to $21,180,400 from
$20,431,972 in the first quarter of 1994.  This 3.7% increase resulted from
rate increases on private passenger automobile lines offsetting reduced earned
premium on personal property lines.  Investment income rose by 9% in the first
quarter of 1995 compared with the first quarter of 1994, while net realized
gains on the sale of investments decreased to $35,254 from $509,824 in the
first quarter of 1994.  The growth in investment income is due to both a higher
level of invested funds in 1995 as well as higher yields available for the
investment portfolio.  Service fees earned grew to $876,527 in the first
quarter of 1995 from $99,849 in the first quarter of 1994 due to a strong
volume of policies administered for the state of Florida's joint underwriting
associations as well as growth of the company's premium finance business unit.

         Consolidated expenses decreased by 8% to $7,852,066 from $8,536,098 in
the first quarter of 1994.  This drop is due to a higher percentage cession of
private passenger automobile insurance resulting in both lower net losses and
loss adjustment expenses as well as higher commissions received from reinsurers
in return for the cession of premium to them.  Reinsurance commissions earned
exceeded commissions paid to writing agents in the first quarter of 1995,
resulting in a negative policy acquisition costs result of $521,035 for the
quarter.

         Cash dividends and any capital expenditure requirements continue to be
provided by funds generated from operations.  The company continues to exhibit
strong liquidity.  The company's investment policy continues to emphasize high
quality securities matched closely with the company's short liability duration.
