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 September 30, 1997, 8 new series of
Shares were added bringing the total number of series issued and  outstanding to
279 as of the end of the quarter. As of September 30, 1997, the share capital of
the Company was $2,292,500  (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  $2,092,500  (compared
with $1,905,000 as of December 31, 1996).  In addition,  the Company had surplus
from  retained  earnings in the amount of  $16,471,791  as of September 30, 1997
compared with $14,913,053 as of December 31, 1996.

Results of Operations.  During the quarter ended September 30, 1997, the Company
had net income of  $2,117,920,  compared with net income of  $1,462,912  for the
quarter ended  September 30, 1996. For the nine month period ended September 30,
1997,  the  Company  had net income of  $5,755,468  compared  with net income of
$4,764,083  for the  corresponding  period  in 1996.  As  discussed  below,  the
increase in net income for the quarter ended  September 30, 1997 compared to the
corresponding period of 1996 is attributable to improved investment  performance
which offset a reduction in underwriting  income. The increase in net income for
the nine month period ended  September  30, 1997  compared to the  corresponding
period in 1996 is due to increases in both underwriting and investment income.

Premiums earned increased to $11,644,930  during the quarter ended September 30,
1997  compared to  $9,269,071  for the  corresponding  period in 1996.  Expenses
incurred during the quarter ended September 30, 1997 were  $11,592,141  compared
to $8,879,845 for the corresponding quarter of 1996. Net underwriting income for
the quarter ended  September  30, 1997 was $52,789  compared to $389,226 for the
corresponding  period in 1996. This decrease in net  underwriting  income was in
part  attributable  to an increase  in the ratio of losses  incurred to premiums
earned for the quarter  ended  September  30,  1997 to 72.5% from  68.7% for the
corresponding period in 1996.

For the nine month  period  ended  September  30,  1997,  the Company had earned
premiums of $33,231,297  compared to $26,278,784 for the corresponding period of
1996.  Expenses  incurred  during the nine month period ended September 30, 1997
were $31,464,628  compared to $24,978,817 for the corresponding  period in 1996.
Net underwriting income for the Company was $1,766,669 for the nine month period
ended September 30, 1997 compared to $1,299,967 for the corresponding  period in
1996.  The loss ratio for the nine month  period  ended  September  30, 1997 was
67.5%, compared to 67.4% for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996.

Investment  income for the  quarter  ended  September  30,  1997 was  $2,125,131
compared to $1,073,686 for the  corresponding  period of 1996. This increase was
largely attributable to an increase in gains realized on the sale of investments
which  offset a reduction  in interest  income.  Investment  income for the nine
month period ended September 30, 1997 was $3,988,799  compared to $3,464,116 for
the  corresponding  period of 1996. During the quarter ended September 30, 1997,
the Company  realised  gains on the sale of  investment  securities of $802,776,
compared to losses of $622,769  during the  corresponding  period of 1996. As of
September 30, 1997, the Company had net unrealized  appreciation  of $731,410 on
its investments  compared to unrealized  appreciation of $543,521 as of December
31, 1996.

For the quarter  ended  September 30, 1997,  the Company had interest  income of
$1,322,355 compared to $1,696,455 for the corresponding  period of 1996. For the
nine month period ended  September 30, 1997, the Company had interest  income of
$3,797,281  compared to $4,055,783 for the  corresponding  period of 1996. These
decreases were largely attributable to reductions in portfolio yields and coupon
rates on invested  assets  which were  partially  offset by an increase in funds
available for investment.
