        Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

        On May 31, 1996, American Capitol Insurance Company ("American
        Capitol") a wholly-owned subsidiary of Acap Corporation ("the
        Registrant") entered into a Reinsurance and Assumption Agreement with
        World Service Life Insurance Company of America ("World Service") and
        South Texas Bankers Life Insurance Company ("South Texas Bankers"), a
        wholly-owned subsidiary of World Service.  Pursuant to the agreement,
        American Capitol assumed all of the insurance in force of World
        Service and South Texas Bankers.  Immediately upon acquisition,
        American Capitol reinsured the acquired business on a 100% coinsurance
        basis with an unaffiliated reinsurer.  American Capitol retained the
        administration of the policies, for which it will receive an expense
        allowance from the reinsurer.  An experience refund formula in the
        coinsurance allowance returns to American Capitol 50% of the profits
        generated by the reinsured policies above a specified threshold. 
        Also, at American Capitol's option, the reinsured policies may be
        recaptured at a price determined by the experience formula.  

        American Capitol purchased approximately 24,000 policies from World
        Service and South Texas Bankers (the "Sellers") for cash of
        approximately $2.3 million. The assets transferred to American Capitol
        were $19.4 million in cash and approximately $2.0 million of mortgage
        loans.  

        The consideration is subject to certain post-closing price
        adjustments.  However, it is not expected that such adjustments will
        be material.  American Capitol's source of the $2.3 million in cash is
        from the reinsurer in the form of the initial ceding allowance under
        the coinsurance agreement.

        The nature and amount of the consideration paid to the Seller were
        arrived at on the basis of arm's-length negotiations and American
        Capitol's consideration of various factors, including an actuarial
        valuation of the insurance in force and judgments with regard to the
        prospects and future of the acquired policies. 

        There are no direct or indirect relationships between the Registrant
        or any affiliate of the Registrant and the Sellers or any affiliate of
        the Sellers.

        Item 7.   Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and
                  Exhibits

        a.   Financial Statements of Business Acquired.

             As the acquisition was for assets only, a financial statement of
             the business acquired in not applicable.

        b.   Pro Forma Financial Information.

             It is impracticable at this time to provide the required pro
             forma financial statements required by this Item 7.  Such
             information will be provided as soon as practicable, but in no
             event later than August 14, 1996 under cover of Form 10QSB.<PAGE>
