                          ACAP CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                     (UNAUDITED)


       1.  CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

       The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 1996 and the
       condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the
       six month periods ended June 30, 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 June 30, 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 to Stockholders.  The
       results of operations for the six month periods ended June 30, 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 $97,125 and $99,440 for June 30,
       1996 and 1995, respectively) by the weighted average common shares
       outstanding (8,516 at June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995). 

       3.  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

       During the six months ended June 30, 1996, stockholders' equity changed
       for the following items:  Reduction in net unrealized investment gains
       of $831,224; net income of $205,179; and cash dividends paid on
       preferred stock of $97,125.

       4.  ACQUISITION

       Effective June 1, 1996, American Capitol Insurance Company ("American
       Capitol"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Acap Corporation 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,
       approximately 24,000 policies, for cash of approximately $1.9 million. 
       The assets transferred to American Capitol were $21.3 million in cash,
       approximately $1.9 million of mortgage loans, a receivable of
       approximately $1.4 million and other assets of approximately $2.0
       million.  American Capitol's source of the $1.9 million in cash is from
       a reinsurer in the form of the initial ceding allowance under a
       coinsurance agreement (see "Reinsurance" below).<PAGE>


                          ACAP CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                     (UNAUDITED)

       The consideration is subject to certain post-closing price adjustments. 
       Following the recent calculation of certain of the post-closing price
       adjustments, World Service and South Texas Bankers indicated an
       unwillingness to complete the transaction as currently structured. 
       American Capitol is presently in negotiations with World Service and
       South Texas Bankers to find an acceptable resolution to the situation. 
       While the parties appear to be close to agreement on a solution that
       would convert the transaction from assumption reinsurance to
       coinsurance and reduce the purchase price to approximately $1.6
       million, there can be no assurance that such an agreement will be made. 
       If an agreement cannot be made, possible outcomes include a rescission
       of the transaction or litigation.

       The nature and amount of the consideration paid 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.

       5.  REINSURANCE

       Effective June 30, 1996, American Capitol reinsured the acquired
       business on a 100% coinsurance basis by amending an existing
       reinsurance agreement 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.

       This transaction increased reinsurance receivables by approximately
       $24.1 million to a carrying value of $57.1 million that were associated
       with a single reinsurer, Crown Life Insurance Company ("Crown").  At
       December 31, 1994, Crown had assets in excess of $7 billion and
       stockholders' equity of approximately $0.4 billion.  Crown is rated
       "Excellent" by A.M. Best Company, an insurance company rating
       organization.

       6.  REAL ESTATE

       Effective July 1, 1996 American Capitol signed a lease agreement
       whereby an unaffiliated third party agreed to lease the remainder of
       the rentable space of the home office building (approximately 34,919
       square feet).  The term of the lease is five years and the rental rate
       is $9.50 per square foot.  A purchase option agreement was signed with
       the same tenant.  The  purchase option expires on September 30, 1997. 
       The option purchase price of the home office building is $1,200,000. 
       If the option is exercised the purchase price will be financed 73.5% by
       American Capitol at an interest rate of 10.5%.

       On May 14, 1996, an earnest money contract was signed for the sale of
       50,000 square feet of home office land to an unaffiliated third party. 
       The sale price is $7.25 per square foot, which, if the transaction
       closes, will result in a pretax gain of approximately $200,000.

       7.  SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION REGARDING CASH FLOWS

       Cash payments of $32,071 and $558,924 for federal income taxes were
       made for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

       Cash payments of $61,218 and $348,262 for interest expense were made
       during the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

       The following reflects assets acquired and liabilities assumed relative
       to the acquisition of 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.<PAGE>


                          ACAP CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

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

       SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS

       ACQUISITIONS

       Effective June 1, 1996, American Capitol Insurance Company ("American
       Capitol"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Acap Corporation, 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, approximately 24,000 policies, for cash of
       approximately $1.9 million.  The assets transferred to American Capitol
       were $21.3 million in cash, approximately $1.9 million of mortgage
       loans,  a receivable of approximately $1.4 million and other assets of
       approximately $2.0 million.  American Capitol's source of the $1.9
       million in cash is from a reinsurer in the form of the initial ceding
       allowance under a coinsurance agreement (see "Reinsurance" below).

       The consideration is subject to certain post-closing price adjustments. 
       Following the recent calculation of certain of the post-closing price
       adjustments, World Service and South Texas Bankers indicated an
       unwillingness to complete the transaction as currently structured. 
       American Capitol is presently in negotiations with World Service and
       South Texas Bankers to find an acceptable resolution to the situation. 
       While the parties appear to be close to agreement on a solution that
       would convert the transaction from assumption reinsurance to
       coinsurance and reduce the purchase price to approximately $1.6
       million, there can be no assurance that such an agreement will be made. 
       If an agreement cannot be made, possible outcomes include a rescission
       of the transaction or litigation.

       The nature and amount of the consideration paid 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.

       REINSURANCE

       Effective June 30, 1996, American Capitol reinsured the acquired
       business on a 100% coinsurance basis by amending an existing
       reinsurance agreement 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.

       This transaction increased reinsurance receivables by approximately
       $24.1 million to a carrying value of $57.1 million that were associated
       with a single reinsurer, Crown Life Insurance Company ("Crown").  At
       December 31, 1994, Crown had assets in excess of $7 billion and
       stockholders' equity of approximately $0.4 billion.  Crown is rated
       "Excellent" by A.M. Best Company, an insurance company rating
       organization.

       RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

       Premiums and other considerations were 21% higher during the first half
       of 1996 in comparison to the first half of 1995.  Premiums and other
       considerations were 58% higher in the second quarter of 1996 in
       comparison to the second quarter of 1996.  Premiums for the first half
       of 1996 include one month of premiums (approximately $500,000) from the
       acquisition of the World Service and South Texas Bankers policies. 
       Premiums for the first half of 1995 include approximately $500,000 in
       single premiums related to the conversion of three trust-funded prepaid
       funeral service plans to an insurance-funded plan.  Excluding these two
       unusual items, premiums and other considerations were 40% higher during
       the first half of 1996 in comparison to the first half 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 increased 11% in the first half of 1996 in
       comparison to the first half of 1995 and increased 43% during the
       second quarter of 1996 in comparison to the second quarter of 1995. 
       The increase in net investment income is primarily due to the one month
       of net investment income earned on the assets acquired from World
       Service and South Texas Bankers.

       The amortization of the deferred gain on reinsurance decreased by
       $181,103  in the first half of 1996 in comparison to the first half of
       1995 and by $100,675 in the second quarter of 1996 in comparison to the
       second 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 half of 1995, the reinsured policies experienced an unusually
       high level of terminations.  This resulted in a higher than expected
       amortization of the deferred gain during that period.

       The Company receives an expense allowance for administering certain
       blocks of reinsured policies.  The expense allowance received during
       the first half of 1996 was 7% less than the expense allowance received
       during the first half of 1995.  The expense allowance received during
       the second quarter of 1996 was 11% less than the expense allowance
       received during the second quarter of 1995.  The decrease is due to
       normal policy attrition of the reinsured policies.

       Total policy benefits (i.e., death benefits and other benefits) were
       44% of total revenue for the first half of 1996 compared to 38% of
       total revenue for the first half of 1995.  Total policy benefits were
       50% of the total revenue for the second quarter of 1996 compared to 42%
       of total revenue for the second quarter of 1995.  The higher ratio of
       total policy benefits to total revenue in 1996 is attributable to one
       month of death claims in the amount of approximately $200,000 from the
       acquisition of the World Service and South Texas Bankers policies.

       Total expenses (i.e., total benefits and expenses less total policy
       benefits) were 48% of total revenue for the first quarter of 1996
       compared to 52% of total revenue for the first half of 1995.  Total
       expenses were 44% of total revenue for the second quarter of 1996
       compared to 46% for the second quarter of 1995.  General expenses for
       the first half 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.  General expenses for the second quarter of 1996
       include a $40,000 charge related to the settlement of a long-standing
       agent commission dispute.

       As a result of a 1995 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 (in
       1995) 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 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 had a principal balance of $1,187,500 at
       June 30, 1996.  The note is secured by a pledge of all of the
       outstanding shares of 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 half of 1996, there was a decline in net unrealized
       investment gains of $831,224.  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.

       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 on August 26, 1996.

       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.
                                                                              
       REAL ESTATE

       On May 14, 1996, an earnest money contract was signed for the sale of
       50,000 square feet of home office land to an unaffiliated third party. 
       The sale price is $7.25 per square foot, which, if the transaction
       closes, will result in a pretax gain of approximately $200,000.


       SUBSEQUENT EVENT

       Effective July 1, 1996, American Capitol signed a lease agreement
       whereby an unaffiliated third party agreed to lease the remainder of
       the rentable space of the home office building (approximately 34,919
       square feet).  The term of the lease is five years and the rental rate
       is $9.50 per square foot.  A purchase option agreement was signed with
       the same tenant.  The purchase option expires on September 30, 1997. 
       The option purchase price of the home office building is $1,200,000. 
       If the option is exercised, the purchase price will be financed 73.5%
       by American Capitol at an interest rate of 10.5%.
