BACKGROUND OF TRANSACTION

On March 29, 1996, Anuhco, Inc. ("Anuhco" or "the Company")
completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding
stock of Universal Premium Acceptance Corporation and UPAC of
California, Inc. (together referred to as "UPAC").  UPAC offers
short-term collateralized financing of commercial and personal
insurance premiums through approved insurance agencies in over 30
states throughout the United States.  At March 31, 1996, UPAC had
outstanding net finance receivables of approximately $30 million. 
This transaction will be accounted for as a purchase.  Anuhco
utilized a portion of its available cash and short-term investments
to consummate the purchase at a price of approximately $12 million. 
UPAC currently maintains certain financing arrangements with an
outstanding balance of $21.3 million at March 31, 1996.   The terms
of the acquisition and the purchase price resulted from 
negotiations between Anuhco and William H. Kopman, the former sole
shareholder of UPAC.

In addition to the Stock Purchase Agreement by which Anuhco
acquired all of the UPAC stock, Anuhco entered into a consulting
agreement with Mr. Kopman.  Under the consulting agreement, Anuhco
is entitled to consult with Mr. Kopman on industry developments as
well as UPAC operations through December 31, 1998.  In addition to
retaining the services of Mr. Kopman under a consulting agreement,
existing executive management personnel of UPAC have been retained
under multiyear employment agreements.  Anuhco's acquisition of
UPAC, in combination with its earlier acquisition of Agency Premium
Resource, Inc. ("APR"), gives the Company a nationwide presence in
this financial services industry.

method from the unearned finance charges that would have been recorded under
the interest method which is used by APR.

     (3)  The historical carrying values of certain assets and liabilities
have been adjusted to the estimated fair value of such assets and liabilities
as follows:  the allowance for credit losses recorded by UPAC was adjusted to
the balance deemed by Anuhco to be adequate to cover potential credit losses;
a reserve has been provided for the fair value of furniture and other
equipment; and, liabilities have been established for certain benefits
payable to employees of UPAC resulting from the acquisition.

     (4)  The former stockholder of UPAC had elected "S" corporation
treatment under the Internal Revenue Code.  In connection with the purchase
deferred tax assets were recorded for the cumulative temporary differences
between financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities,
primarily relating to the allowance for credit losses, at the statutory
income tax rates expected to be in effect when such differences reverse.

                  NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             December 31, 1995

Note A - Summary of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies

A summary of the Companies operations and significant accounting policies
applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:
Nature of Operations

Universal Premium Acceptance Corporation is a premium finance company
licensed and conducting business in most of the fifty states. UPAC of
California, Inc. is a premium finance Company licensed and conducting
business in California.  These companies have been combined because they are
commonly owned and have significant interrelated activity.  All intercompany
transactions between these entities have been eliminated in the combination. 
The Companies earn substantially all their revenues from the interest charged
on insurance premiums financed.  The Companies have  principal offices
located in St. Louis, Missouri and Alto Zuma, California.  As part of its
normal course of business, the Companies grant credit to its customers in the
form of insurance premium finance agreements.  At December 31, 1995 and 1994,
finance receivables had an average maturity of four to five months.  The
Companies have a security interest in the gross unearned premiums of the
insurance policies financed.

Finance Charges

The Companies account for transfers to realized earnings by the collections
method, whereby 15% of the unearned finance charge is recognized as earnings
when the loan is made and the remainder is transferred to earnings monthly in
proportion to the liquidation of the receivables.  Prepayment refunds are
charged to earned finance charges.  Late charges are credited to income when
received.    

Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses is maintained through direct charges to
operations at a level deemed to be adequate to cover estimated losses.  It is
the Companies general policy to charge off accounts when they are deemed
uncollectible.

        recoveries                   474,937       1,292,494
           Balance, end of year    $ 686,867      $  844,527
</TABLE>

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost.  Depreciation is charged to
operations on the straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated
useful lives of the assets.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the
estimated useful lives of the assets. In computing its taxable income, the
Companies utilize the methods and lives as prescribed by the current Internal
Revenue Code.

Income Taxes and Cash Dividends Paid or Accrued

Effective January 1, 1988, the stockholder of the Companies have elected the
Companies to be treated as "S" Corporations under provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code which provides that, in lieu of corporation income taxes, the
stockholder is taxed on his share of the Companies taxable income. 
Therefore, no provision or liability for federal and state income taxes is
reflected in these financial statements.

As a result of this election, the Companies distribute, as they deem
necessary, cash dividends in amounts approximating the individual income tax
liabilities incurred by the stockholder.  Dividends of $896,598 were paid in
1995 with respect to the prior years' taxable income.  No dividends were paid
or accrued during 1994.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note B - Property and Equipment

The following is a summary of property and equipment:

respectively.

Note C - Note Receivable - Officer

On August 17, 1992, the Universal Premium Acceptance Corporation loaned to
its sole stockholder the sum of $330,000, with interest at the rate of 7% per
annum. Principal is due on demand and interest is to be paid annually, due on
December 31 each year. The stockholder paid $125,000 on this note in June
1994. In 1995, a company car with a net book value of $51,077 was transferred
to the stockholder and the note receivable was increased by this amount. The
note balance, including accrued interest, of $328,098 and $258,345 at
December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively is included in other assets. 
Accrued interest recognized as income in the years ended December 31, 1995
and 1994 amounted to $18,676 and $21,038, respectively.
Note D - Notes Payable, Secured

Notes payable, secured consist of borrowings under a credit agreement
("Agreement") dated as of August 1, 1990 with three banks, secured by the
Companies receivables, whereby, as amended on August 14, 1995 and July 29,
1994, the aggregate maximum principal amount outstanding shall not exceed the
lesser of $37,500,000 or 85% of the qualified notes assigned to the banks and
the sum of the outstanding principal of and the accrued interest on, the
additional obligations to insurance agents with whom the Companies do
business evidenced by promissory notes.  Borrowings under the Agreement not
subject to the LIBOR (London Inter-Bank EuroDollar Market) Pricing Option,
are at an annual effect rate of the bank's base rate (prime rate). 
Borrowings under the LIBOR Pricing Option, are at an annual effective rate of
the LIBOR rate plus 2.00% for each applicable interest period.  In addition,
the Agreement provides for an agent's fee of 0.25% per annum of the aggregate
outstanding amount of the Bank Obligations and a commitment fee at a rate of
0.125% per annum on the average daily unused amount of the Revolving Loan
Commitment as defined in the Agreement.

The Agreement contains various warranties and covenants that must be complied
with on a continuing basis, including, but not limited to, restrictions on
investments, indebtedness, allowance for credit losses on finance
receivables, capital maintenance, financial ratios and dividends.  The
maturity date of the Agreement is August 31, 1996, however, if the Companies
do not receive notice at least 120 days before such date from any bank of the
occurrence of such maturity date, then the maturity date shall thereafter
extend from year to year.  Should terms of this agreement be changed, the
Companies operations could be affected adversely.
 
The Companies domestic banking system provides for the daily replenishment of
major bank accounts for check clearing requirements.  Accordingly,
outstanding checks of $1,708,844 and $521,926 at December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively, are reflected in notes payable, secured.

Note E - Subordinated and Unsecured Debt
