Item 2.   Management's Discussion And Analysis of Financial Condition And
Results of Operations

Liquidity.  It is anticipated that the Company will continue to be able to
generate sufficient funds from operations to meet current liquidity needs. 
Premiums generated by the Company's reinsurance business combined with
investment earnings plus proceeds from the sale of Shares will continue to be
the principal sources of funds for investment by the Company.  Such funds will
be available to meet the Company's liquidity requirements.  No capital
expenditures are expected during the next few years.  

The significant amounts of unearned premium on the balance sheet at each
balance sheet date are attributable to the long-term nature of the contracts
sold.  The risk of loss to the Company under the contract arises primarily
after the underlying manufacturer's warranty expires -- usually after 36 months
or 36,000 miles, whichever occurs first.  Since very little premium is
recognized as earned until the expiration of the underlying warranty, most of
the premium written in any period is recorded as unearned.  

Cash, cash equivalents and investments valued at market have increased from
$36,671,259 at the beginning of the year to $38,818,518 at June 30, 1994.  

On April 8, 1994, the Board of Directors authorized the payment of dividends to
eligible holders of Participating Shares aggregating $2,156,304.

Capital Resources.  As of June 30, 1994, the share capital of the Company was
$1,707,500 (compared with $1,617,500 as of December 31, 1993) comprised of paid
in capital with respect to the Common Stock of $200,000 and paid in capital
with respect to Participating Shares of $1,507,500 (compared with $1,417,500 as
of December 31, 1993).  In addition, the Company had surplus from retained
earnings in the amount of $4,425,974 compared with $6,211,978 as of December
31, 1993.

Barbados law requires that the Company's net assets (excluding unrealized gains
and losses) equal at least the aggregate of $1,000,000 and 10% of the amount by
which the earned premium exceeded $5,000,000 in the previous fiscal year.  At
June 30, 1994, the Company's minimum required net assets computed in accordance
with Barbados law was approximately $2,042,961, compared to total capital and
retained earnings of $6,133,474.  

Results of Operations.  In the six month period ended June 30, 1994, the
Company reported premiums earned of $9,693,562, an increase of $2,459,760 over
the six month period ended June 30, 1993.  Net underwriting income in the first
six months of 1994 was $145,740, which represents an increase of $204,916
compared to an underwriting loss of $59,176 in the six month period ended June
30, 1993.  The loss ratio for the six month period ended June 30, 1994 was
69.6%, compared to 70.5% for the six month period ended June 30, 1993.  

In the three month period ended June 30, 1994, premiums earned increased
$1,460,682 to $5,121,656, compared to $3,660,974 in the three month period
ended June 30, 1993.  Expenses (including losses) increased $1,418,129, from
$3,613,302 in the second quarter of 1993 to $5,031,431 in the second quarter of
1994.  As a result, net underwriting income increased from $47,672 in the
second quarter of 1993 to $90,225 in the second quarter of 1994.  The loss
ratio in the second quarter of 1994 was 69.4%, compared to 68.0% in the second
quarter of 1993.

Administrative expenses include amounts paid to the Company's Manager for
professional services.  During the six months ended June 30, 1994 the amount
paid to the Manager was $101,840 compared to $115,321 for the six months ended
June 30, 1993.

The increase in net underwriting income was offset by a decline in investment
income of $669,394, from $604,151 in the second quarter of 1993 to a loss of
$65,243 in the comparable period of 1994, due to realized losses on the sale of
invested assets.  Although interest earnings in the second quarter increased by
50% over the second quarter of 1993, changes in interest rates in the six month
period ended June 30, 1994 adversely affected the market values of the
Company's investment portfolio at that date and its investment income in the
period then ended as compared with the six month period ended June 30, 1993. 
Realized losses on the sale of investment securities in the six month period
ended June 30, 1994 were $1,045,139 compared to realized gains of $538,778 in
the six month period ended June 30, 1993.  Unrealized losses on investment
securities held at June 30, 1994 were $1,192,021 compared to unrealized gains
at December 31, 1993 of $99,886.  The realized losses resulted in large part
from a repositioning of the Company's investment portfolio away from longer
term issues toward medium term investments.  Unrealized losses at June 30, 1994
include amounts attributable to decreases in value of securities purchased at a
premium.  The Company's investment guidelines do not permit the use of
financial instrument derivatives in managing interest rate risk.

FASB Statement No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities" is effective for years beginning after December 15, 1993 and
requires the Company to classify its securities holdings into categories
(trading, available for sale, and held to maturity).  The Company adopted
Statement No. 115 effective January 1, 1994 and classified its securities
portfolio as available for sale.  Adoption of the Statement did not have a
material effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations. 


PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 2.   Changes in Securities

Pursuant to amendment of the Restated Articles of Incorporation effected by
vote of the shareholders, the Common Stock of the Company is now nonredeemable
in all circumstances.  (See Item 4.)

Item 4.   Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security-Holders

On April 8, 1994, the holder of the Common Stock re-elected five of the six
directors of the Company:  Robert T. O'Connell, Joseph J. Pero, Vincent K.
Quinn, Louis S. Carrio, Jr., and Peter R.P. Evelyn.  The holders of
Participating Shares unanimously elected the sixth director, Donald C. Mealey. 
In addition, the holder of the Common Shares elected two alternate directors:
Richard N. Carlson was elected as the alternate director for Mr. Quinn, and
Robert E. Capstack was elected as alternate director for Mr. Carrio.

The shareholders also voted unanimously to amend the Restated Articles of
Incorporation of the Company.  Upon redemption by the Board of a series of
Participating Shares, the Board now has the authority to make redemption
effective at any time prior to year end, and to allocate any net deficit
attributable to that series to the subsidiary capital account for the Common
Stock (to the extent of earned surplus) before allocating any remaining deficit
to the accounts for the Participating Shares.  Also, in order to ensure
compliance with Barbados law, which requires that Common Stock be nonredeemable
in all circumstances, the shareholders voted to remove from the Articles
provisions which allowed for the redemption of Common Stock and which gave the
common shareholder the right to force liquidation of the Company in the event
its request for redemption was not granted.  

Item 6.   Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K
