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.

Capital  Resources.  During the  quarter  ended June 30,  1997,  9 new series of
Shares were added bringing the total number of series issued and  outstanding to
271 as of the end of the quarter.  As of June 30, 1997, the share capital of the
Company was  $2,232,500  (compared  with  $2,105,000  as of December  31,  1996)
comprised  of paid in capital  with  respect to the Common Stock of $200,000 and
paid in capital with respect to  Participating  Shares of  $2,032,500  (compared
with $1,905,000 as of December 31, 1996).  In addition,  the Company had surplus
from retained earnings in the amount of $14,293,871 as of June 30, 1997 compared
with $14,913,053 as of December 31, 1996.

Results of  Operations.  During the quarter ended June 30, 1997, the Company had
net income of $1,995,368, compared with net income of $1,284,803 for the quarter
ended June 30, 1996.  For the six month period ended June 30, 1997,  the Company
had net income of  $3,577,548,  compared with net income of  $3,301,171  for the
comparable period in 1996. As discussed below the increase in net income for the
quarter  ended  June 30,  1997  compared  to the  comparable  period  of 1996 is
primarily  attributable to improved  underwriting  results and a smaller loss on
the sale of  investments.  The  increase in net income for the six months  ended
June  30,  1997  compared  to  the  comparable   period  of  1996  is  primarily
attributable  to  improved  underwriting  results  which  offset  a  decline  in
investment income.

Premium earned  increased to $11,393,515  during the quarter ended June 30, 1997
compared to $8,772,362 for the same period in 1996. Expenses incurred during the
quarter  ended June 30, 1997 were  $10,612,527  compared to  $8,140,416  for the
comparable  quarter of 1996. Net underwriting  income for the quarter ended June
30, 1997 was $780,988  compared to $631,946 for the  comparable  period in 1996.
The ratio of losses  incurred to premiums  earned for the quarter ended June 30,
1997 was 66.1% compared to 64.9% for the comparable period in 1996.

For the six month period ended June 30, 1997, the Company had earned premiums of
$21,586,367  compared to $17,009,713 for the comparable period of 1996. Expenses
incurred  during  the six month  period  ended  June 30,  1997 were  $19,872,488
compared to  $16,098,972  for the comparable  period in 1996.  Net  underwriting
income for the Company was  $1,713,879  for the six month  period ended June 30,
1997 compared to $910,741 for the comparable  period in 1996. The loss ratio for
the six month  period  ended June 30, 1997 was 64.8%,  compared to 66.6% for the
six month period ended June 30, 1996.

Investment income for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 was $1,214,380 compared to
$652,857 for the comparable period of 1996.  Investment income for the six month
period  ended  June 30,  1997 was  $1,863,669  compared  to  $2,390,430  for the
comparable  period of 1996.  During the quarter ended June 30, 1997, the Company
realised  losses on the sale of investment  securities  of $45,149,  compared to
losses of $722,359  during the comparable  period of 1996.  During the six month
period  ended June 30,  1997,  the  Company  realized  net losses on the sale of
investment  securities  of  $611,257  compared  to gains of  $31,102  during the
comparable  period of 1996.  During the six month  period  ended June 30,  1996,
the Company sold investment securities in anticipation of increases  in interest
rates.  These sales resulted in realized gains during the first  quarter of 1996
which gains  were largely offset by realized losses during the second quarter of
1996 with the Company realizing a modest net gain for the six month period ended
June 30, 1996.  The Company realized losses on the sale of investment securities
during the quarter and the six month period ended June 30, 1997, as a result  of
sales made in anticipation of higher interest rates.   As of June 30, 1997,  the
Company had net unrealized appreciation of $497,276 on its  investments compared
to unrealized appreciation of $543,521 as of December 31, 1996.

For the  quarter  ended  June 30,  1997,  the  Company  had  interest  income of
$1,259,529 compared to $1,375,216 for the comparable period of 1996. For the six
month period ended June 30, 1997, the Company had interest  income of $2,474,926
compared to $2,359,328 for the comparable  period of 1996.  These increases were
largely  attributable to an increase in funds available for investment which was
partially  offset by reductions in portfolio yields and coupon rates on invested
assets.
