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 in the
forseeable future.  

On April 11, 1996, the Board of Directors authorized the payment
of dividends to eligible holders of Participating Shares
aggregating $4,007,483.

Capital Resources.  As of March 31, 1996, the share capital of
the Company was $2,045,000 (compared with $2,007,500 as of
December 31, 1995) comprised of paid in capital with respect to
the Common Stock of $200,000 and paid in capital with respect to
Participating Shares of $1,845,000 (compared with $1,807,500 as
of December 31, 1995).  In addition, the Company had surplus from
retained earnings in the amount of $13,533,910 as of March 31,
1996 compared with $11,517,542 as of December 31, 1995.

Results of Operations.  During the quarter ended March 31, 1996,
the Company had net income of $2,016,368, compared with net
income of $490,417 for the quarter ended March 31, 1995.

Net premium volume continues to increase as additional
participants are added to the program.  During the quarter ended
March 31, 1996, 5 new series of Shares were added bringing the
total number of series issued and outstanding to 246 as of the
end of the quarter.  Premiums earned increased during the quarter
ended March 31, 1996 by $1,924,962 over the comparable period of
1995 and were $8,237,351.    

Expenses incurred during the quarter ended March 31, 1996 were
$7,958,556 compared to $6,191,253 for the comparable quarter of
1995.  Net underwriting income for the quarter ended March 31,
1996 was $278,795 compared to $121,136 for the comparable period
in 1995.  The ratio of losses incurred to premiums earned for the
quarter under review was 68.6% compared to 69.2% for the
comparable period in 1995.

Investment income for the quarter under review was $1,737,573
compared to $369,281 for the quarter ended March 31, 1995. 
During the quarter under review, the Company realized gains on
the sale of investment securities of $753,461 compared to losses
of $529,709 on the sale of investment securities during the
comparable period of 1995.  As of March 31, 1996, the Company had
net unrealized depreciation of $411,620 on its investments
compared to unrealized appreciation of $1,651,621 as of December
31, 1995.  The realized gains in the 1996 quarter resulted from
the sale of investment securities to take advantage of market
opportunities.  The realized losses in the 1995 quarter resulted
from the sale of securities, the value of which had been
adversely affected by increases in interest rates during that
quarter.  The unrealized depreciation at March 31, 1996 compared
to the unrealized appreciation at December 31, 1995 is in large
part attributable to the sale of appreciated investment
securities during the quarter coupled with a reduction in the
value of the Company's investment portfolio resulting from 
increases in global bond interest rates since December 31, 1995.

For the quarter, the Company had interest income of $984,112
compared to $898,990 for the comparable period of 1995.  This
increase was primarily attributable to increases in the amount of
assets under management which offset the impact of lower interest
rates compared to the comparable period of 1995.
