NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

HILB, ROGAL AND HAMILTON COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

March 31, 2000

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE A--BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have
been prepared in accordance with generally  accepted  accounting  principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to 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)  considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been  included.  Operating  results for the three month  period  ended March 31,
2000, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year  ending  December  31,  2000.  For  further   information,   refer  to  the
consolidated   financial  statements  and  footnotes  thereto  included  in  the
Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.

NOTE B--INCOME TAXES

The Company  files a  consolidated  federal  income tax return.  Deferred  taxes
result from  temporary  differences  between the carrying  amounts of assets and
liabilities for financial statement purposes and the amounts used for income tax
purposes.  The Company's effective rate varies from the statutory rate primarily
due to state income taxes and non-deductible amortization.

NOTE C--ACQUISITIONS

On May 3, 1999, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of
American Phoenix Corporation, a subsidiary of Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance
Company,  from Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance Company and Martin L. Vaughan,
III. The shares were acquired in exchange for approximately $49 million in cash,
$32 million face value in 5.25%  Convertible  Subordinated  Debentures due 2014,
with a conversion  price of $22.75 per share,  callable in 2009,  and  1,000,000
shares of Common  Stock of the Company.  The Company  funded the cash portion of
the  purchase  price with a credit  facility  obtained  in  connection  with the
acquisition.  The  acquisition  has been accounted for by the purchase method of
accounting.  Intangible  assets of  approximately  $97  million,  created by the
acquisition,  will be amortized  over 25 years.  The assets and  liabilities  of
American Phoenix  Corporation have been revalued to their respective fair market
values.  Certain fair value estimates used in the determination of goodwill were
preliminary  and are subject to  adjustment,  which may increase or decrease the
amount of goodwill recorded. The financial statements of the Company reflect the
combined  operations of the Company and American  Phoenix  Corporation  from the
closing date of the acquisition.

NOTE C--ACQUISITIONS-Continued

Pursuant to EITF 94-3,  "Liability  Recognition for Certain Employee Termination
Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity",  the Company recorded a charge of
$1.9 million in the second quarter of 1999 related to employee severance,  lease
termination  costs and other costs  necessary to  integrate  the  operations  of
American Phoenix  Corporation  with the Company.  Costs incurred to exit certain
leases and physically merge common locations  comprised $950,000 of this amount.
The remaining amount relates to employee  severance and other integration costs.
As of March 31,  2000,  the  Company  had paid  approximately  $671,000 of these
integration  costs.  These  charges  have  been  included  in the 1999 pro forma
amounts.  Similar costs related to American Phoenix Corporation's  severance and
termination costs,  which are estimated at $2,200,000,  have been capitalized as
part of the  purchase  price.  The  following  unaudited  pro forma  results  of
operations  of the Company give effect to the  acquisition  of American  Phoenix
Corporation as though the transaction had occurred on January 1, 1999.

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

Results of Operations:
- ---------------------

On May 3, 1999, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of
common stock of American Phoenix Corporation,  a subsidiary of Phoenix Home Life
Mutual Insurance  Company,  from Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance  Company and
Martin  L.  Vaughan,  III.  The  assets  and  liabilities  of  American  Phoenix
Corporation  have been  revalued to their  respective  fair market  values.  The
financial  statements  of the Company  reflect the  combined  operations  of the
Company  and  American  Phoenix   Corporation  from  the  closing  date  of  the
acquisition.

For the three  months  ended  March 31,  2000,  commissions  and fees were $65.6
million,  an increase of 42.7% from commissions and fees of $46.0 million during
the  comparable  period  of the  prior  year.  Approximately  $18.5  million  of
commissions were derived from purchase  acquisitions of new insurance  agencies.
This  increase was offset by decreases  of  approximately  $0.5 million from the
sale of certain offices and accounts in 2000 and 1999. Commissions and fees from
operations owned during both periods increased 3.4%.

Investment income for the quarter increased $0.2 million or 56.0%, primarily due
to increased  invested  assets  related to purchase  acquisitions.  Other income
decreased  $3.1  million from the prior year.  Amounts in other  income  include
gains  from the sale of  certain  insurance  accounts  and other  assets of $0.6
million and $3.7 million in 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Expenses for the quarter  increased  $17.5  million or 46.4%.  Compensation  and
employee benefits and other operating  expenses increased $11.3 million and $3.9
million  respectively,   primarily  related  to  purchase  acquisitions  of  new
insurance agencies and increased revenues. Amortization of intangibles increased
approximately  $1.0  million due to the  aforementioned  purchase  acquisitions.
Interest  expense   increased  by  $1.3  million  due  to  bank  borrowings  and
Convertible  Subordinated  Debentures  utilized to finance the American  Phoenix
acquisition and stock repurchase programs.

The  Company's  overall tax rate of 43.0% for the three  months  ended March 31,
2000,  increased  from 40.8% for the same period of the prior year primarily due
to the non-deductibility of a portion of the intangible assets from the American
Phoenix Corporation acquisition.

The timing of contingent commissions, policy renewals and acquisitions may cause
revenues, expenses and net income to vary significantly from quarter to quarter.
As a result of the  factors  described  above,  operating  results for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 should not be  considered  indicative of the results
that may be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2000.



                                       10

Liquidity and Capital Resources:
- -------------------------------

Net cash provided by  operations  totaled $15.3 million and $6.7 million for the
three  months  ended March 31,  2000 and 1999,  respectively,  and is  primarily
dependent upon the timing of the  collection of insurance  premiums from clients
and payment of those premiums to the appropriate insurance underwriters.

The Company has  historically  generated  sufficient funds internally to finance
capital expenditures for personal property and equipment.  Cash expenditures for
the acquisition of property and equipment were $1.0 million and $1.6 million for
the three  months  ended March 31, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  The timing and
extent of the purchase of investments is dependent upon cash needs and yields on
alternate  investments and cash equivalents.  The purchase of insurance agencies
accounted  for under the purchase  method of  accounting  utilized  cash of $2.4
million  and $1.4  million in the three  months  ended  March 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. Cash expenditures for such insurance agency acquisitions have been
primarily funded through  operations and long-term  borrowings.  In addition,  a
portion of the purchase  price in such  acquisitions  may be paid through Common
Stock,  deferred  cash  payments  and,  in  the  case  of the  American  Phoenix
Corporation acquisition,  issuance of Convertible Subordinated Debentures.  Cash
proceeds from the sale of accounts and other assets amounted to $2.2 million and
$4.5 million in the three  months  ended March 31, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.
The Company did not have any  material  capital  expenditure  commitments  as of
March 31, 2000.

Financing activities utilized cash of $4.9 million and $1.9 million in the three
months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Company has consistently
made  scheduled  debt  repayments  and annually  increased its dividend rate. In
addition,  during the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Company repurchased
72,200 shares of its Common Stock under a stock repurchase program.  The Company
is currently  authorized to purchase an additional 464,000 shares and expects to
continue to repurchase  shares.  The Company  anticipates the continuance of its
dividend  policy.  The Company had a bank credit  agreement  for $110.0  million
under  which loans are due in various  amounts  through  2004 and  approximately
$28.5 of 5.25% Convertible  Subordinated Debentures due 2014. At March 31, 2000,
there were loans of $78.0 million outstanding under the bank agreement.

The Company had a current ratio (current assets to current  liabilities) of 0.93
to 1.00 as of March 31, 2000. Shareholders' equity of $74.3 million at March 31,
2000,  is improved  from $71.2  million at December  31,  1999,  and the debt to
equity ratio of 1.49 to 1.00 is decreased from the ratio at December 31, 1999 of
1.57 to 1.00 due to scheduled debt payments and net income.

The Company believes that cash generated from operations, together with proceeds
from borrowings,  will provide  sufficient funds to meet the Company's short and
long-term funding needs.

Market Risk
- -----------

The  Company  has  certain   investments  and  utilizes   derivative   financial
instruments which are subject to market risk; however, the Company believes that
exposure to market risk associated with these instruments is not material.

Impact of Year 2000
- -------------------

In prior  years,  the  Company  discussed  its plans  and  progress  related  to
achieving year 2000 readiness.  During 1999, the Company completed all phases of
this plan.  The Company  experienced  no  significant  disruptions  from mission
critical  systems  or third  party  vendors.  The  Company  is not  aware of any
material  problems  resulting  from year 2000  issues,  either with its internal
systems or the products and services of third parties. The Company will continue
to monitor its mission critical computer applications and those of its suppliers
and vendors  throughout  the year 2000 to ensure that any year 2000 matters that
may arise are addressed promptly.

Forward-Looking Statements
- --------------------------

The Company cautions readers that the foregoing discussion and analysis includes
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,  and are subject to the safe harbor created by
that  Act.  These  forward-looking  statements,  including  but not  limited  to
statements regarding the impact of the year 2000 issue on the Company's business
and  operations,  are  believed  by the  Company  to be  reasonable  based  upon
management's  current  knowledge and  assumptions  about future events,  but are
subject to the  uncertainties  generally  inherent  in any such  forward-looking
statement,  including  factors discussed above as well as other factors that may
generally  affect the  Company's  business,  financial  condition  or  operating
results.  Reference is made to the  discussion of  "Forward-Looking  Statements"
contained in  "Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial  Condition and
Results  of  Operations"  in the  Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended  December  31,  1999,  regarding  important  risk  factors and
uncertainties  that could cause actual  results,  performance or achievements to
differ materially from future results,  performance or achievements expressed or
implied in any forward-looking statement made by or on behalf of the Company.
