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

Liquidity.  It is anticipated that the Company will continue 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 unearned premiums on the balance sheet at each balance sheet date are
attributable to the long-term nature of the motor vehicle mechanical breakdown
insurance contracts that the Company reinsures.  The risk of loss to the 
Company under new vehicle contracts 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, the new vehicle premiums 
assumed in any period are recorded as unearned.

Cash, cash equivalents and investments valued at market have increased from
$36,671,259 at the beginning of the year to $42,719,299 at September 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 September 30, 1994, the share capital of the Company
was $1,805,000 (compared to $1,617,500 as of December 31, 1993) comprised of
paid in capital with respect to Common Stock of $200,000 and paid in capital
with respect to Participating Shares of $1,605,000 (compared with $1,417,500 
as of December 31, 1993).  In addition, the Company had surplus from retained
earnings in the amount of $5,142,701, 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 September 30, 1994, the Company's minimum required net assets 
computed in accordance with Barbados law was $2,023,225, compared to total 
capital and retained earnings of $6,947,701.

Results of Operations.   In the nine month period ended September 30, 1994, 
the Company reported premiums earned of $15,232,246, an increase of $3,989,826
over the nine month period ended September 30, 1993.  Net underwriting income 
in the first nine months of 1994 was $238,255, which represents an increase of 
$256,563 compared to an underwriting loss of $18,308 in the nine month period
ended September 30, 1993.  The loss ratio for the nine month period ended 
September 30, 1994 was 70.0%, compared to 70.5% for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1993.

In the three month period ended September 30, 1994, premiums earned increased
$1,530,066 to $5,538,684, compared to $4,008,618 in the three month period 
ended September 30, 1993.  Expenses including losses) increased $1,478,419, 
from $3,967,750 in the third quarter of 1993 to $5,446,169 in the third quarter
of 1994.  As a result, net underwriting income increased from $40,868 in the 
third quarter of 1993 to $92,515 in the third quarter of 1994.  The loss ratio 
in the third quarter of 1994 was 70.8%, compared to 70.6% in the third quarter 
of 1993. 

The increase in net underwriting income was offset by a decline in investment
income of $96,398 from $720,610 in the third quarter of 1993 to $624,212 in the
comparable period of 1994, due to realized losses on the sale of invested
assets.  Although interest earnings in the third quarter increased by 56% over
the third quarter of 1993, changes in interest rates in the nine month period
ended September 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 nine month period ended September 30, 1993.  
Realized losses on the sale of investment securities in the nine month period 
ended September 30, 1994 were $1,112,164 compared to realized gains of 
$815,292 in the nine month period ended September 30, 1993 and resulted in 
large part from a repositioning of the Company's investment portfolio away 
from longer term issues toward medium term investments. 

Unrealized losses on investment securities held at September 30, 1994 were
$1,722,908, compared to unrealized gains at December 31, 1993 of $99,886.  
Unrealized losses at September 30, 1994 include amounts attributable to
decreases in value of securities purchased as 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 Investment 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.
