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.


                             Page 6


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 this 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 $3,762,154 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 31, 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, 1997, 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 at this time that no 
amounts will be due AIG under the letter of credit.

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

Results of Operations

Gross revenues for the nine month and three month periods ended December 31, 
1997 amounted to $156,743,579 and $53,224,914, respectively as compared with 
$116,794,753 and $42,131,293 for the same periods a year ago representing a 34%
and 26% increase for those periods, respectively.  The increases in the nine 
and three month periods are directly attributable to approximately $10 million 
and $5 million, respectively, related to new customers in both the consumer 
product and automotive businesses and approximately $29 million and $9 million,
respectively, related to volume increases with existing customers and renewals 
despite the loss and bankruptcy of two large accounts.

The net increase in deferred revenues for the nine month and three month 
periods, ended December 31, 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 that period of time offset in part
by amounts earned on expiring contracts during the same period.

Direct costs are those costs directly related to the production and acquisition
of service contracts.  Direct costs were $111,362,547 and $36,595,198 for the 
nine and three month periods ended December 31, 1997, respectively, as compared
with $81,915,935 and $28,397,004 for the comparable period in Fiscal 1997.  The
increase is directly attributable to the volume increases in contracts sold and
a higher level of premium reflecting improved coverage on selected programs.

Service, selling and general and administrative expenses for the nine and three
month periods ended December 31, 1997 were $35,697,462 and $13,673,500, 
respectively, as compared with $25,940,313 and $9,916,149 for the nine and 
three month periods ended December 31, 1996. These increases are related to 
payroll, payroll related, training costs and additional office space arising
from an increase in head count to meet the service requirements associated with
the increased number of service contracts being sold as compared with the same
levels a year ago and the ongoing costs incurred relative to the International 
and Home Service start-up infrastructure.

The provision for bad debts results from the write-off of accounts considered 
to be uncollectible for the respective periods.

The increase in depreciation and amortization for the nine month and three 
month periods ended December 31, 1997 over the comparable periods a year ago is
the result of capital additions related to the Company's ongoing up-grade of 
its computer systems and the additional equipment requirements resulting from 
the service level increases.


                                                     Page 8

In April 1996, the Company and its international 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 pre-tax gain 
recognized in the three month period ended June 30, 1996 amounting to 
$1,876,480 and an after tax gain of  $1,144,653 or $.10 per share.

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 nine and three month periods ended December 31, 1997 was 
$3,909,208 or $.30 per share and $1,012,324 or $.08 per share, respectively, 
as compared with $5,266,370 or $.40 per share and $1,832,053 or $.14 per share,
respectively, calculated on the same basis.  The earnings per share for the 
nine month period ended December 31, 1996 includes the effect of the gain on 
the sale of the Company's joint venture in the first quarter of fiscal 1996  
of $.10 per share (Refer to Footnote 3).

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, 
"Earnings per Share," which modifies the calculation of earnings per share 
("EPS"). The Standard replaces the previous presentation of primary and fully 
diluted EPS to basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is 
computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted 
average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS 
includes the dilution of common stock equivalents, and is computed
similarly to fully diluted EPS pursuant to APB Opinion 15. All prior periods
presented have been restated to reflect this adoption.

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
nine and three month periods ended December 31, 1997 amounted to $1,373,450 and
$503,855,  respectively. 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, 1998.  At December 31, 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 nine month period ended December 31, 1997 
amounted to $7,339,879 which is principally attributable to both new accounts 
and increases in volume with existing customers as compared with comparable 
levels of accounts receivable at December 31, 1996.

Management believes that there are significant opportunities for growth through
acquisitions in the business services industry. 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,

                                 Page 9

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's 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 31, 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 at thi
time that no amounts will be due AIG under this letter of credit.

The effect of inflation has not been significant to the Company since its 
formation.

Item 1.       Legal Proceedings

              A.  The Oak Agency, Inc. and The Oak Financial Services, Inc. 
                  (collectively, "Oak") v.Warrantech Dealer Based Services, Inc.
                  ("WDBS").
 
                  Final judgment in this matter was entered on November 12, 
                  1997. WDBS was directed to pay Oak (i) $1,243,359 which 
                  represents commissions earned by Oak for the period July 1, 
                  1991 through May 31, 1997, (ii) $28,500 which represents 
                  costs of the action recoverable by Oak, and (iii) future 
                  commissions earned on vehicle service contracts sold on or
                  after June 1, 1997 by a specified group of automobile dealers.
                  Furthermore, Oak was directed to pay Warrantech Corporation
                  $7,500 which represents Warrantech's recoverable costs of a 
                  separate action which previously had been dismissed by the 
                  Court with prejudice.

                  WDBS has made all payments described in clauses (i) and (ii) 
                  above and continues to make those periodic payments described
                  in clause (iii).  No further legal action is anticipated and 
                  WDBS considers this matter closed.

              B.  Intercontinental Brokerage, Incorporated ("IBI") v. 
                  Warrantech Consumer Product Services, Inc. and Warrantech 
                  Corporation (collectively, "Warrantech").

                  This suit was filed in the 67th District court,Tarrant County,
                  Texas on October 10, 1997. IBI had provided various insurance
                  services to and on behalf of Warrantech over a period of 
                  years.  Warrantech asserts, however, that it terminated its 
                  relationship with IBI in 1996 and has not requested or used
                  IBI's services since the date of termination.  IBI alleges in
                  this action that it continued to perform services for
                  Warrantech though June 30, 1997 and that it is entitled to be
                  compensated for these services under several theories of 
                  liability.  IBI is seeking specified damages of up to 
                  $1,330,000 as well as such other sums as the Court may find 
                  it is entitled to recover.

                  Both parties are actively engaged in the discovery process 
                  and no trial date has been discussed at this early state in 
                  the litigation.  Warrantech continues to deny the allegations
                  and is pursuing all of the legal rights and remedies 
                  available to it.
