     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 foreseeable future.

     Capital Resources. During the quarter ended September 30, 1996, 6 new
series of Shares were added bringing the total number of series issued and
outstanding to 251 as of the end of the quarter. As of September 30, 1996, the
share capital of the Company was $2,082,500 (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
$1,882,500 (compared with $1,807,500 as of December 31, 1995). In addition, the
Company had surplus from retained earnings in the amount of $12,222,613 as of
September 30, 1996 compared with $11,517,542 as of December 31, 1995.

     Results of Operations. During the quarter ended September 30, 1996, the
Company had net income of $1,462,912, compared with net income of $1,819,920 for
the quarter ended September 30, 1995. For the nine month period ended September
30, 1996, the Company had net income of $4,764,083, compared with net income of
$4,843,516 for the comparable period in 1995. As discussed below, the decrease
in net income for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 compared to the
comparable period of 1995 is the result of losses on the sale of investment
securities which offset increases in interest earned and underwriting income.

     Premiums earned increased to $9,269,071 during the quarter ended September
30, 1996 compared to $7,594,045 for the same period in 1995. Expenses incurred
during the quarter ended September 30, 1996 were $8,879,845 compared to
$7,305,774 for the comparable quarter of 1995. Net underwriting income for the
quarter ended September 30, 1996 was $389,226 compared to $288,271 for the
comparable period in 1995. The ratio of losses incurred to premiums earned for
the quarter under review was 68.7% compared to 68.9% for the comparable period
in 1995.

     For the nine month period ended September 30, 1996, the Company had earned
premiums of $26,278,784 compared to $20,755,082 for the comparable period of
1995. Expenses incurred during the nine month period under review were
$24,978,817 compared to $19,911,896 for the comparable period in 1995. The
increase in expenses is attributable to increased policy acquisition costs
resulting from increased premium volume. As a result, net underwriting income
for the Company was $1,299,967 for the nine month period under review compared
to $843,186 for the comparable period in 1995. The loss ratio for the nine month
period ended September 30, 1996 was 67.4%, compared to 67.7% for the nine month
period ended September 30, 1995.

     Investment income for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 was $1,073,686
compared to $1,531,649 for the comparable period of 1995. Investment income for
the nine month period under review was $3,464,116 compared to $4,000,330 for the
comparable period of 1995. During the quarter under review, the Company incurred
losses on the sale of investment securities of $622,769, compared to gains of
$655,822 during the comparable period of 1995. During the nine month period
under review, the Company realized net losses on the sale of investment
securities of $591,667 compared to gains of $1,248,108 during the comparable
period of 1995. As of September 30, 1996, the Company had net unrealized
appreciation of $42,902 on its investments compared to unrealized appreciation
of $1,651,621 as of December 31, 1995. The losses on the sale of investment
assets during the quarter under review and the decrease in net gains during the
nine month period under review compared to the corresponding periods in 1995 and
the change in the amount of unrealized appreciation as of September 30, 1996
compared to December 31, 1995 are in large part attributable to increases in
long term interest rates during the respective reporting periods which resulted
in decreases in the market value of the Company's investment portfolio.

     For the quarter ended September 30, 1996, the Company had interest income
of $1,696,455 compared to $875,827 for the comparable period of 1995. For the
nine month period under review, the Company had interest income of $4,055,783
compared to $2,752,222 for the comparable period of 1995. These increases were
largely attributable to increases in the amount of assets under management
combined with higher interest rates.
