                  NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                      (UNAUDITED)

       1. CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
          -------------------------------------------

       The condensed consolidated  balance sheet as  of March 31,  1996 and  the
       condensed consolidated  statement of  operations and  cash flows for  the
       three month periods ended March 31,  1996 and 1995, have been prepared by
       Acap  Corporation  (the "Company"),  without audit.    In the  opinion of
       management, all adjustments (which, except as may be noted below, include
       only  normal  recurring  adjustments)  necessary to  present  fairly  the
       financial position, results of  operations, and changes in cash  flows at
       March 31, 1996 and for all periods presented have been made.

       Certain  information  and  footnote   disclosures  normally  included  in
       financial  statements  prepared  in  accordance  with  generally accepted
       accounting  principles have been condensed  or omitted.   It is suggested
       that  these  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  be  read  in
       conjunction with  the financial statements and notes  thereto included in
       the  Company's December  31,  1995 Annual  Report on  Form  10-KSB.   The
       results of operations  for the three month  periods ended March 31,  1996
       and 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the operating  results for the
       full year.

       2. EARNINGS PER SHARE
          ------------------

       The earnings per  common share is  computed by dividing net  income (less
       dividends  paid on preferred stock  of $49,719 and  $48,565 for March 31,
       1996  and  1995, respectively)  by  the  weighted average  common  shares
       outstanding (8,516 at March 31, 1996 and March 31, 1995). 

       3. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
          --------------------

       During  the  three  months  ended March  31,  1996,  stockholders' equity
       changed  for the following items:  Reduction in net unrealized investment
       gains  of $606,692; net  income of $132,005;  and cash  dividends paid on
       preferred stock of $49,719.

       4. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION REGARDING CASH FLOWS
          ---------------------------------------------

       Cash payments of $10,000 and $0 were made for federal income taxes during
       the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

       Cash  payments  of $32,320  and $40,388  for  interest expense  were made
       during the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. 

       The following  reflects assets acquired and  liabilities assumed relative
       to the acquisition of Oakley-Metcalf Insurance Company ("Oakley-Metcalf")
       by the Company,  the consideration given for such acquisition and the net
       cash flow relative to such acquisition on February 2, 1995.

       On January 4, 1995, Family Life Insurance Company of  Texas ("Family"), a
       wholly-owned  subsidiary   of  the   Company  increased  the   amount  of
       reinsurance on each of  its life policies in force from 20%  to 100%.  On
       February  2, 1995,  Oakley-Metcalf entered  into a  reinsurance agreement
       whereby  Oakley-Metcalf   ceded  100%  of   each  life  policy   with  an
       unaffiliated life insurance company.   These transactions were both  non-
       cash transactions.   The  Company  transferred assets  of $2,020,065  and
       liabilities  of   $3,259,418  and  recognized  a  deferred  gain  on  the
       reinsurance of $1,239,353 to be amortized over the life of the policies.

                    ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                    ------------------------------------------------
                     FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                     ----------------------------------------------

       RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
       ---------------------

       Premiums and other considerations were 23% lower during the first quarter
       of 1996 in  comparison to the first  quarter of 1995.   Premiums for  the
       first quarter  of 1995 include approximately $202,000  in single premiums
       related  to the conversion of a trust-funded prepaid funeral service plan
       to an  insurance-funded plan.   Excluding the trust  conversion, premiums
       and other considerations were 42% higher during the first quarter of 1996
       in comparison to the  first quarter of 1995.  The increase in premiums is
       attributable  to an expansion of the Company's marketing of final expense
       life insurance and insurance-funded prepaid funeral service contracts.

       Net investment  income decreased  17% in  the  first quarter  of 1996  in
       comparison  to the first quarter of 1995.   Net investment income for the
       first quarter of 1995 included approximately $35,000 in investment income
       related to assets used at January 31, 1995 to repay $8.3 million in notes
       payable.

       The amortization of the deferred gain on reinsurance decreased by $80,428
       in the first quarter of 1996 in  comparison to the first quarter of 1995.
       The deferred gain on reinsurance is being amortized based upon the amount
       of  insurance  in  force under  the  reinsurance  treaties  to which  the
       deferred gain  relates.  During the first  quarter of 1995, the reinsured
       policies  experienced an  unusually  high level  of  terminations.   This
       resulted in a higher than normal amortization of the deferred gain during
       that quarter.

       The  Company  receives an  expense  allowance  for administering  certain
       blocks  of reinsured policies.  The expense allowance received during the
       first  quarter of  1996 was 4%  less than the  expense allowance received
       during the  first quarter of 1995  due to normal policy  attrition of the
       reinsured policies.

       Total  policy benefits (i.e., death benefits and other benefits) were 35%
       of  total revenue for the first quarter  of 1996 compared to 34% of total
       revenue for the first quarter of 1995.

       Total  expenses  (i.e., total  benefits  and expenses  less  total policy
       benefits)  were 54%  of  total revenue  for  the  first quarter  of  1996
       compared to 59%  of total revenue for the first quarter of 1995.  General
       expenses  for the first quarter of 1995 included approximately $72,000 in
       non-recurring actuarial charges related to consultations on the Company's
       acquisition program and  approximately $35,000 in expense  related to the
       settlement of a policy dispute.

       Due  to the unusual  expenses noted above  in the first  quarter of 1995,
       income before federal income taxes was 23% higher in the first quarter of
       1996 compared to the first quarter of 1995.

       As  a result of a transaction that  increased the reinsurance from 20% to
       100% on each of the life policies in force in a life insurance subsidiary
       acquired  August 31, 1994,  the Company  incurred current  federal income
       taxes  of approximately $920,000.  Offsetting the increase in the current
       federal  income  tax expense,  the  reinsurance  transaction noted  above
       resulted  in a deferred federal income tax  benefit.  The benefit related
       to the reinsurance  transaction was  the majority of  the total  deferred
       federal income tax benefit recorded in the first quarter of 1995.

       LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
       -------------------------------

       In connection with an acquisition, the Company borrowed $1.5 million from
       a bank  on January 31, 1995.   The note had a  principal balance of $1.25
       million  at March 31, 1996.   The note matured April 30,  1996.  The bank
       granted  a new note maturing April 30,  1997 under identical terms as the
       original note.  The note bears interest at a  rate equal to the base rate
       of  a bank plus 1%.   Principal payments  on the note of  $62,500 are due
       quarterly.  The  note is secured  by a pledge  of all of  the outstanding
       shares of  American Capitol Insurance Company  ("American Capitol") owned
       by the Company.   The  loan agreement contains  certain restrictions  and
       financial covenants.  Without the written  consent of the bank, Acap  may
       not incur  any debt, pay common  stock dividends or sell  any substantial
       amounts  of assets.    Also,  American  Capitol  is  subject  to  minimum
       statutory earnings and capital  and surplus requirements during  the loan
       term.   The Company and American  Capitol are in compliance  with all the
       restrictions and covenants of the loan.

       During the first  quarter of 1996, there was a  decline in net unrealized
       investment gains of $606,692.   The decline in invested asset values  was
       primarily the  result of an increase in  market interest rates during the
       quarter.  It  is not anticipated that the Company  will need to liquidate
       investments prior to their projected maturities in order to meet its cash
       flow  requirements.  The Company  had positive cash  flows from operating
       activities during the first quarter of 1996.

       FORTUNE LIQUIDATION
       -------------------

       As  discussed  in the  Company's Annual  Report  on Form  10-KSB, Fortune
       National  Corporation ("Fortune"),  the owner  of 63.7% of  the Company's
       outstanding  common stock,  expects to  adopt a  plan of  dissolution and
       liquidation at its  annual stockholder  meeting.  The  date of  Fortune's
       annual stockholder meeting has not yet been set.

       Under the plan, no  fractional shares of the Company's common  stock will
       be issued.  Fortune's stockholders will have the option  of selling their
       "odd lot"  shares of Fortune common  stock to the Company  or buying from
       the Company enough Fortune common stock to round up their holdings.

       The  Company has  entered  into  an agreement  with  Fortune  to pay  for
       Fortune's  operating  expenses  through the  expiration  of  the plan  of
       dissolution and liquidation.   In exchange for its services,  the Company
       received 55,323 shares of  Fortune common stock during the  first quarter
       of 1996.

       Fortune's  liquidation will  not result  in a  change in  the management,
       directors, or the ultimate control of the Company.

       ACQUISITION PROSPECT
       --------------------

       On April 24, 1996, American Capitol signed a Letter of Intent to acquire,
       through assumption reinsurance, the  insurance in force of World  Service
       Life Insurance Company of America  and its wholly-owned subsidiary, South
       Texas Bankers Life Insurance Company.  If the acquisition is consummated,
       the  Company plans on immediately  reinsuring the acquired  business on a
       100% coinsurance basis with an unrelated reinsurer.  The Company plans on
       retaining  the administration of the  policies in question,  for which it
       will  receive an  expense  allowance from  the  reinsurer. An  experience
       refund formula in the coinsurance  agreement returns to American  Capitol
       50% of the profits  generated by the reinsured policies once  a threshold
       is  exceeded.  Also, at American Capitol's option, the reinsured policies
       may be recaptured at a  price determined by the experience formula.   The
       acquisition   involves   approximately   24,000   policies,   assets   of
       approximately  $24 million  and  a purchase  price of  approximately $2.3
       million (which is  also approximately  the amount of  the initial  ceding
       allowance under the coinsurance agreement).
