       NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
                                       
                                 JUNE 30, 1995

     NOTE 1 - BASIS OF FINANCIAL REPORTING

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and the adjustment
described in Note 5) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on
Form  10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.

     Results of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30,
1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ending December 31, 1995.

     NOTE 2 - NET INCOME PER SHARE

     Net income per share is based upon the weighted average number of shares
outstanding, adjusted for the dilutive effect of stock options, which is the
same on both a primary and a fully-diluted basis.

     NOTE 3 - MERGER AND ACQUISITIONS

     Effective March 1, 1995, the Company issued 146,300 shares of its common 
stock for all of the partnership interest in Insurance West, a Phoenix Arizona
general insurance agency.  The merger has been accounted for as a
pooling-of-interests and, accordingly, the Company's consolidated financial
statements have been restated for all periods prior to the merger to include
the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of Insurance
West.  The separate company operating results of Insurance West for periods
prior to the merger are not material to the Company's consolidated operating
results.

     During the first quarter of 1995 the Company acquired substantially all of
the assets of King Insurance Agency, Inc. of Naples, Florida.  During the
second quarter of 1995, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of
S. Lloyd Underwriters, Inc. of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.  In addition, during
the first and second quarters of 1995 the Company purchased four small books of
business (customer accounts).  In connection with these acquisitions, the
Company acquired assets valued at $1,960,000 in exchange for cash of $825,000
and debt of $1,135,000.  These acquisitions have been accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting.  Their results of operations have been combined 
with those of the Company since their respective acquisition dates.  Pro forma 
results of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 1995 
and 1994, including these acquisitions as if they occurred on January 1, 1994, 
were not materially different from the results of operations as reported.  

     NOTE 4 - LONG-TERM DEBT

     The Company continues to maintain its credit agreement with a major
insurance company under which up to $7 million presently may be borrowed at an
interest rate equal to the prime lending rate plus one percent.  The available
amount will decrease by $1 million each August, as described in Note 7 to the
consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.  As of June 30, 1995, $7
million was outstanding under the agreement.

     The Company currently maintains a revolving credit facility with a
national banking institution which provides for available borrowings of up to
$10 million.  As of June 30, 1995 there were no borrowings against this line of
credit.

NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES

    In 1992, the Internal Revenue Service (Service) completed examinations of
the Company's federal income tax returns for the tax years 1988, 1989, and
1990.  As a result of its examinations, the Service issued Reports of Proposed
Adjustments asserting income tax deficiencies which, by including interest and
state income taxes for the periods examined and the Company's estimates of
similar adjustments for subsequent periods through December 31, 1993, would
total $6,100,000.  The disputed items related primarily to the deductibility of
amortization of purchased customer accounts of approximately $5,107,000 and
non-compete agreements of approximately $993,000.  In addition, the Service's
report included a dispute regarding the time at which the Company's payments
made pursuant to certain indemnity agreements would be deductible for tax
reporting purposes.  During September 1994, the Company reached a settlement
agreement with the Service with respect to certain of the disputed amortization
items and the indemnity agreement payment issue.  In March 1995, the Company
reached a settlement agreement with the Service with respect to the remaining
disputed items.  Based upon this settlement and after taking into consideration
a $250,000 reduction in the Company's general tax reserves resulting from
current and expected payments under the settlement agreement, the Company
recorded a $450,000 adjustment to decrease reserves in the first quarter of
1995 with a corresponding reduction to its income tax provision.

NOTE 6 - CONTINGENCIES

    The Company is not a party to any legal proceedings other than various
claims and lawsuits arising in the normal course of business.  Management of
the Company does not believe that any such claims or lawsuits will have a
material effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

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

     Effective March 1, 1995, the Company issued 146,300 shares of its common
stock to the former partners of Insurance West.  The merger has been accounted
for as a pooling-of-interests and accordingly, the Company's consolidated
operating results for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 1994 have
been restated to include the results of operations of Insurance West.

     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Net Income.  Net income for the second quarter of 1995 was $2,859,000, or
$.33 per share, compared with net income in the second quarter of 1994 of
$2,018,000, or $.23 per share, a 43% increase in per share earnings.  Net
income for the six months ended June 30, 1995 was $7,111,000 or $.82 per share,
compared with 1994 same period net income of $6,643,000, or $.77 per share, for
a 6% increase.

    The six months ended June 30, 1995 earnings per share includes a favorable
tax reserve adjustment of $.05 per share resulting from the reduction in
general tax reserves stemming from the March 1995 settlement of the Company's
remaining IRS examination issues.  The 1994 earnings per share includes a $.16
per share gain from the sale of approximately 23% of the Company's investment
in common stock of Rock Tenn Company (Rock Tenn).  Excluding these items, the
1995 earnings per share increased from $.61 in 1994 to $.77 in 1995, a 26%
increase.

     Commissions and Fees.  Commissions and fees for the second quarter of 1995
increased $1,795,000, or 8% from 1994.  The increase is partially attributable
to new business production.  Commissions and fees for the six month ended June
30, 1995 were $50,803,000 compared to $48,137,000 for the same period in 1994,
a 6% increase.  The increase is attributable to an increase in contingent
commissions of $919,000, revenues from acquired agencies of $914,000, and the
remainder primarily to new business production.

     Investment Income.  Investment income for the quarter ended June 30,
1995 was up $260,000 or 36% over 1994.  Investment income for the six-month
period in 1995 decreased $1,632,000.  This decrease is related to the
$2,185,000 gain from the sale of approximately 23% of the Company's investment
in the common stock of Rock Tenn that occurred during March 1994.  Excluding
this gain, investment income during the first six months of 1995 increased by 
approximately $553,000 or 42%.  The increase in investment income after 
excluding the Rock Tenn gain is due to increased available funds, the 
implementation of a consolidated cash management program that has resulted in 
improved earnings on cash and cash equivalents, and increased interest rates.  
The Company continues to own 509,064 shares of common stock of Rock-Tenn and 
has no current plans to sell these shares.

     Other Income.   Other income consists primarily of gains and losses from
the sale and disposition of assets.  Other income increased approximately 
$92,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995 over the same period for 1994 
and approximately $257,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1995 over the 
same period for 1994.

     Employee Compensation and Benefits.   Compensation and employee benefits
increased during both the three and six months ended June 30, 1995.  The
increase for the six-month period ended June 30, 1995 is 6.6% while the
increase for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 is 6.4%.  This increase is
due primarily to additional commission expense as a result of the increased
commission and fee revenues and increases in accruals of $314,000 and $542,000
for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995, respectively, resulting from 
the accelerated vesting of benefits under certain terminated deferred 
compensation  arrangements. Compensation and employee benefits as a percentage 
of commissions and fees were generally consistent between the 1995 and 1994 
periods.  As of June 30, 1995, the Company had 993 full-time equivalent 
employees compared to 1,027 at June 30, 1994. 

    Other Operating Expenses.   Other operating expenses for the three months
ended June 30, 1995 increased $337,000 over the same period in 1994 but
declined as a percentage of commissions and fees from 25.4% to 24.9%.  Other
operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1995 decreased $227,000
from 1994 and declined as a percentage of commissions and fees from 24.8% to
23.0%.  This decrease is due primarily to continued improvements in operational
efficiencies.





                                       8
<PAGE>   9


     Interest and Amortization.   Interest and amortization expense decreased
$219,000 during the second quarter of 1995 and $436,000 during the six months
ended June 30, 1995 over the same periods in 1994.  This reduction is primarily
as a result of lower average borrowings.

     Income Taxes.   The Company's effective tax rate for the three months
ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 was 38.5% and 38.4%.   The Company's effective tax
rate for the six-month period decreased from 38.3% in 1994 to 34.3% in 1995.
The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily the result of a $450,000
reduction in the Company's income tax reserves during the first quarter of 1995
due to the favorable tax settlement in March 1995 of the remaining outstanding
Internal Revenue Service examinations assessments which the Company had
original protested.  See Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements for further information.  The Company's effective tax rate excluding
this $450,000 tax reduction is 38.5%.


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

     The Company's cash and cash equivalents increased by $10,023,000 from
December 31, 1994 to $33,208,000 at June 30, 1995.  During the six months ended
June 30, 1995, cash of $14,802,000 was provided from operating activities.
Cash was used primarily to acquire businesses for $825,000, purchase property
and equipment of $2,100,000 and pay dividends of $2,067,000 on the Company's
common stock.  The current ratio improved to 1.15 as of June 30, 1995 from 1.10
as of December 31, 1994.

     The Company has a credit agreement with a major insurance company under 
which up to $7 million may be borrowed at an interest rate equal to the prime 
lending rate plus one percent, which will decrease by $1 million each August 
through the year 2001 when it will expire.  As of June 30, 1995, the maximum 
amount of borrowings ($7,000,000) were outstanding.  On August 1, 1995 the
Company made a mandatory $1,000,000 payment reducing the outstanding balance to
$6,000,000.  


     In November 1994, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility 
with a national banking institution which provides for available borrowings of 
up to $10 million.  On borrowings under this facility of less than $1,000,000
the interest rate is the higher of the prime rate or the federal funds rate
plus .50%.  On borrowings under this facility equal to or in excess of 
$1,000,000, the interest rate is LIBOR plus .50% to 1.25% depending on certain
financial ratios.  A commitment fee is assessed in the amount of .25% per 
annum on the unused balance.  The facility expires in November 1997.  No 
borrowings were outstanding against this line of credit as of June 30, 1995.  

        The Company believes that its existing cash, cash equivalents,
short-term investments, funds generated from operations and available credit
facility borrowings are sufficient to satisfy its normal financial needs for
the near term.

                          PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

     ITEM 1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     The Company is involved in various pending or threatened proceedings by or
against the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries which involve routine
litigation relating to insurance risks placed by the Company and other
contractual matters.  The Company's management does not believe that any of
such pending or threatened proceedings will have a material adverse effect on
the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company.

     ITEM 4 - SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

     The Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders was held on April 19, 1995. 
At the Annual Meeting, all nine existing directors of the Company were
re-elected to the Board.  In addition, the Company's shareholders approved a
proposal to amend the Company's 1990 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan")
to increase the number of shares of common stock available for purchase under
the Plan from 100,000 to 250,000 shares.

     The number of votes cast for and against the proposal to amend the Plan 
were 7,721,870 and 74,596, respectively.  There were 12,394 abstentions and no
broker non-votes with respect to this proposal.

     The number of votes cast for or withheld with respect to the election of
each of the directors is set forth below:
