          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 $46,206,116 at the beginning of the year to
          $55,803,847 at June 30, 1995.  

          On April 6, 1995, the Board of Directors authorized the payment
          of dividends to eligible holders of Participating Shares
          aggregating $1,188,614.

          Capital Resources.  As of June 30, 1995, the share capital of the
          Company was $1,955,000 (compared with $1,865,000 as of December
          31, 1994) comprised of paid in capital with respect to the Common
          Stock of $200,000 and paid in capital with respect to
          Participating Shares of $1,755,000 (compared with $1,665,000 as
          of December 31, 1994).  In addition, the Company had surplus from
          retained earnings in the amount of $7,631,714 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 June 30,
          1995, the Company's minimum required net assets computed in
          accordance with Barbados law was approximately $2,631,669,
          compared to total capital and retained earnings computed for
          purposes of Barbados law of $9,586,714.  

          Results of Operations.  During the quarter ended June 30, 1995,
          the Company had net income of $2,533,179, compared to $24,982 for
          the quarter ended June 30, 1994.  For the six month period ended
          June 30, 1995, the Company had net income of $3,023,596 compared
          to $347,800 for the comparable period of 1994.  These increases
          are the result of gains on the sale of investment securities
          during the quarter under review as discussed below and a modest
          improvement in underwriting results.

          For the quarter ended June 30, 1995, premiums earned increased
          $1,726,992 to $6,848,648, compared to $5,121,656 for the
          comparable period of 1994.  Expenses (including losses) increased
          $1,383,438, from $5,031,431 in the second quarter of 1994 to
          $6,414,869 in the second quarter of 1995.  As a result, net
          underwriting income increased from $90,225 in the second quarter
          of 1994 to $433,779 in the second quarter of 1995.  The loss
          ratio in the second quarter of 1995 was 65.1%, compared to 69.4%
          in the second quarter of 1994.

          In the six month period ended June 30, 1995, the Company reported
          premiums earned of $13,161,037, an increase of $3,467,475 over
          the six month period ended June 30, 1994.  Net underwriting
          income in the first six months of 1995 was $554,915, which
          represents an increase of $409,175 over the six month period
          ended June 30, 1994.  The loss ratio for the six month period
          ended June 30, 1995 was 67.1%, compared to 69.6% for the six
          month period ended June 30, 1994.  

          Investment income for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 was
          $2,099,400 compared to a net loss of $65,243 for the comparable
          period of 1994.  Investment income for the six month period ended
          June 30, 1995 was $2,468,681 compared to $202,060 for the
          comparable period of 1994.  Declines in long term interest rates
          during the quarter ended June 30, 1995 resulted in increases in
          the market value of the Company's investment portfolio.  During
          the quarter, the Company realized gains on the sale of investment
          securities of $1,121,995, compared to losses of $741,750 on
          securities sales during the comparable period of 1994.  For the
          six month period ended June 30, 1995, realized gains on the sale
          of investment securities were $592,286, compared to losses of
          $1,045,139 during the comparable period of 1994.  As of June 30,
          1995, the Company had net unrealized appreciation of $610,060 on
          its investments compared to unrealized depreciation of $1,896,089
          as of December 31, 1994.

          For the quarter under review, the Company had interest income of
          $977,405 compared to $676,507 for the comparable period of 1994. 
          For the six month period ended June 30, 1995, the Company had
          interest income of $1,876,395 compared to $1,247,199 during the
          comparable period of 1994.  These increases were largely
          attributable to increases in the amount of assets under
          management.

          In 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 June 30, 1995, the Company had
          non-U.S. dollar-denominated investments with an aggregate market
          value of $13,051,000 based on June 30, 1995 exchange rates.
          Cumulative exchange losses under the hedging program at June 30, 1995,
          were approximately $138,000.  


          PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

          Subsidiary Capital Account for a series of Participating Shares
          that are charged against the Subsidiary Capital Accounts for
          other series of Participating Shares will be restored if such
          Subsidiary Capital Account with prior deficits returns to a
          positive balance, provided that all deficits with respect to such
          Subsidiary Capital Account previously charged against Restricted
