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, most
of the new vehicle premiums assumed in any period are recorded as
unearned.

Cash, cash equivalents and investments valued at market have
increased from $46,206,116 at the beginning of the year to
$60,404,481 at September 30, 1995.


Capital Resources.  As of September 30, 1995, the share capital
of the Company was $1,970,000 (compared to $1,865,000 as of
December 31, 1994) comprised of paid in capital with respect to
Common Stock of $200,000 and paid in capital with respect to
Participating Shares of $1,770,000 (compared with $1,665,000 as
of December 31, 1994).  In addition, the Company had surplus from
retained earnings in the amount of $9,459,134, compared with
$5,796,732 as of December 31, 1994.

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, 1995, the Company's minimum required net assets computed in
accordance with Barbados law was $2,631,669, compared to total
capital and retained earnings of $11,429,134.

Results of Operations.   During the quarter ended September 30,
1995, the Company had net income of $1,819,920, compared to
$716,727 for the quarter ended September 30, 1994.  For the nine
month period ended September 30, 1995, the Company had net income
of $4,843,516 compared to $1,064,527 for the comparable period of
1994.  These increases are the result of gains on the sale of
investment securities as discussed below and a modest improvement
in underwriting results.

For the quarter ended September 30, 1995, premiums earned
increased $2,055,361 to $7,594,045, compared to $5,538,684 for
the comparable period of 1994.  Expenses (including losses)
increased $1,859,605, from $5,446,169 in the third quarter of
1994 to $7,305,774 in the third quarter of 1995.  As a result,
net underwriting income increased from $92,515 in the third
quarter of 1994 to $288,271 in the third quarter of 1995.  The
loss ratio in the third quarter of 1995 was 68.9%, compared to
70.8% in the third quarter of 1994.

In the nine month period ended September 30, 1995, the Company
reported premiums earned of $20,755,082, an increase of
$5,522,836 over the nine month period ended September 30, 1994. 
Net underwriting income in the first nine months of 1995 was
$843,186, which represents an increase of $604,931 over the nine
month period ended September 30, 1994.  The loss ratio for the
nine month period ended September 30, 1995 was 67.7%, compared to
70.0% for the nine month period ended September 30, 1994.  The
increases in earned premiums and losses reflect the expiration of
underlying manufacturers' warranties on new vehicle policies
written in 1990 through 1992.  Consequently, in 1995 the Company
has begun earning those premiums and incurring losses.

Investment income for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 was
$1,531,649 compared to $624,212 for the comparable period of
1994.  Investment income for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1995 was $4,000,330 compared to $826,272 for the
comparable period of 1994.  During the quarter under review, the
Company realized gains on the sale of investment securities of
$655,822, compared to losses of $67,025 on securities sales
during the comparable period of 1994.  For the nine month period
ended September 30, 1995, realized gains on the sale of
investment securities were $1,248,108, compared to losses of
$1,112,164 during the comparable period of 1994.  As of September
30, 1995, the Company had net unrealized appreciation of $620,169
on its investments compared to unrealized depreciation of
$1,896,089 as of December 31, 1994.  The increase in gains
realized on the sale of investment securities is due to increased
investment sales to take advantage of market opportunities
presented by fluctuations in interest rates.  The unrealized
appreciation at September 30, 1995 compared to the unrealized
depreciation at December 31, 1994 is in large part attributable
to lower long term interest rates in effect during 1995 which
increased the market value of the Company's investment portfolio.

For the quarter under review, the Company had interest income of
$875,827 compared to $691,237 for the comparable period of 1994. 
For the nine month period ended September 30, 1995, the Company
had interest income of $2,752,222 compared to $1,938,436 during
the comparable period of 1994.  These increases were largely
attributable to increases in the amount of assets under
management which offset the impact of lower interest rates.

During the quarter ended June 30, 1995, the Company began
investing in non-U.S. dollar-denominated debt securities. 
Forward foreign currency contracts were executed to hedge the
Company's investment in such securities.  At September 30, 1995,
the Company had non-U.S. dollar-denominated investments with an
aggregate market value of $12,328,193 based on September 30, 1995
exchange rates.
