3.  JOINT VENTURE


         In July, 1993, the Company and American International Group Inc. 
         ("AIG") formed a corporate joint venture, Techmark Services Ltd. 
         ("Techmark" or the "Joint Venture")owned fifty-one percent (51%) by 
         AIG and forty-nine percent (49%) by the Company.

         In conjunction with the foregoing alliance, in October, 1993, AIG 
         purchased, for a price of $6,430,000, options and a special issue of 
         preferred stock which was convertible into an issue of new shares of 
         common stock which, subsequent to its issuance, would be equivalent to
         twenty percent (20%) of the Company's issued and outstanding common 
         stock.  Under the terms of the purchase agreement, AIG had the right 
         to purchase an increased interest in the Company, to a maximum of 
         thirty percent (30%) of the Company's issued and outstanding common 
         stock, if certain operating goals were achieved by the Company.

         On April 18, 1996, the Company and AIG consummated an agreement for 
         the termination of the Techmark Joint Venture (the "Agreement").  
         Under the terms of the Agreement, AIG agreed to purchase the Company's
         forty-nine (49%) interest in the Joint Venture for approximately 
         $3.8 million and the Company agreed to repurchase the 3,234,697
         shares of convertible preferred stock held by AIG for its original 
         redemption value of $6,430,000 and further relinquish their rights to 
         other options under the original agreement.  As a result of this 
         transaction, the Company no longer has any investment in or liability 
         to the Joint Venture and will no longer record any equity in the 
         operations of the Joint Venture.  The redemption value will be offset 
         by the amount due the Company from the sale of its investment, with 
         the net amount due AIG of $2,395,960 resulting in a three year, 
         non-interest bearing note payable in 11 equal quarterly installments 
         of $205,000 commencing June 30, 1996 with a final installment of 
         $140,960 due March 1999.  In the event of default by the Company under
         the note payable, the Company would be required to reissue to AIG 
         preferred stock for the remaining amount due at the default date.

         At March 31, 1996, the Company's carrying value of its investment 
         amounted to $1,885,674 which  resulted in a gain on the sale of the 
         investment of $1,876,480, recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 
         1997.

         Also, as part of the agreement, AIG paid the Company $1,480,000 
         related to amounts due the Company as of March 31, 1996, under its 
         profit sharing arrangement.  In connection with this payment, the 
         Company issued an irrevocable letter of credit to the benefit of AIG
         through December 2002 which can be drawn upon by AIG in the event the 
         ultimate profit sharing amount due the Company is less than the amount
         previously paid.  It is anticipated that no amounts will be due AIG 
         under the letter of credit.

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

Results of Operations

Gross revenues for the three month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 were 
$53,327,030 and $36,000,025, respectively, representing an increase of 48%.  
The gross revenues attributable to consumer product and automotive programs 
reflect increases of approximately $8 million related to new business and 
$9 million related to volume increases with existing customers and renewals.  
Warrantech Europe contributed approximately $2  million of the increase in new 
business to consolidated gross revenues vs the same period a year ago.

The net increase in deferred revenues for the three month period ended 
June 30, 1997 as compared with the same period a year ago is directly 
attributable to the increased number of service contracts sold with a service 
period greater than one year during the current period offset in part by the 
amounts earned on expiring contracts during the same period.  The Company 
recognizes revenues in direct proportion to the costs incurred in providing the
service contract programs and defers an amount sufficient to meet future 
administrative costs and a reasonable gross profit thereon.

Direct costs are those costs directly related to the production and acquisition 
of service contracts. Direct costs were $38,945,085 for the three month period
ended June 30, 1997 as compared to $26,173,699 for the three month period 
ended June 30, 1996.  The increase is directly attributable to the volume 
increases in contracts sold and also reflect a shift in the mix of business.

Service, selling, general and administrative expenses for the three month 
period ended June 30, 1997 amounted to $11,206,101 as compared with $7,410,636 
for the three month period ended June 30, 1996.   These increases are related 
to payroll, payroll related and training costs arising from an increase in head 
count to meet the service requirements associated with the increased number of 
service contracts being sold, and start-up costs associated with Warrantech 
Help Desk and Warrantech Home Services of approximately $600,000.

In April 1996, the Company and its joint venture partner, AIG, agreed to 
terminate the joint venture, Techmark Services Ltd., effective January 1, 1996. 
Under the terms of the agreement, AIG agreed to purchase the Company's
forty-nine percent (49%) investment in the joint venture for $3,762,154.  As of
March 31, 1996, the Company's carrying value of the joint venture investment 
amounted to $1,885,674 which resulted in a gain recognized in the three month
period ended June 30, 1996 amounting to $1,876,480.

The provision for income taxes is based on the Company's projection of its
estimated effective tax rate for the fiscal year.

Net income for the three month period ended June 30, 1997 was $1,327,204 or 
$.09 based on the weighted average primary shares as compared with $2,119,235 
or $.16 per share calculated on the same basis a year ago.  The earnings per 
share for the three month period ended June 30, 1996 includes the effect of the
gain on the sale of the joint venture of $.08 per share.

Liquidity and Financial Resources

The Company has an ongoing relationship with an equipment financing company and
intends to continue financing certain future equipment needs through leasing 
transactions.  The total amount financed through leasing transactions during 
the three month period ended June 30, 1997 amounted to $323,600. The Company 
has a line of credit with a bank which provides for a maximum aggregate 
borrowing up to $10 million.  The line of credit is secured by certain accounts 
receivable and has been renewed and now expires on August 31, 1997.  At
June 30, 1997, the Company did not have any borrowing under the line of credit.

The Company believes that internally generated funds will be sufficient to 
finance its current operations for at least the next twelve months.  Cash 
provided by operations during the three month period ended June 30, 1997 
amounted to $5,619,796 which is principally attributable to new accounts as 
compared with comparable levels of accounts receivable at June 30, 1996.

Management believes that there are significant opportunities for growth through
acquisitions in the business services industry.  In order to take full 
advantage of such opportunities a Mergers and Acquisitions team has been formed.
While there can be no assurance that any transactions will materialize, to the 
extent that capital resources are required in connection with any proposed 
transaction, the Company believes that it will be able to meet its needs 
through a combination of available cash on hand, borrowings against its 
available bank credit line, and additional third-party financing.  Based on 
discussions with third parties, the Company believes such funding will be
available to the Company if needed on acceptable terms, although such 
availability cannot be assured.

In connection with the sale of the Company' joint venture interest to AIG, the
Company agreed to repurchase 3,234,697 shares of convertible exchangeable 
preferred stock held by AIG at their redemption value of $6,430,000.  This 
amount was offset by the amount due the Company for the sale of its investment,
with the net amount due AIG of $2,395,960 resulting in a three year, 
non-interest bearing note payable.  The note is payable in 11 equal quarterly 
installments of $205,000 commencing June 30, 1996, with a final installment of
$140,960 due March 1999.  Also, as part of the agreement, AIG agreed to pay
the Company $1,480,000 related to amounts due the Company under its profit
sharing arrangement.  In connection with this payment, the Company issued an 
irrevocable letter of credit to the benefit of AIG through December 31, 2002 
which can be drawn against by AIG in the event that the ultimate profit sharing
amount due the Company is less than the amount paid.  It is anticipated that no 
amounts will be due AIG under this letter of credit.

The effects of inflation have not been significant to the Company since its 
formation.
