NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

HILB, ROGAL AND HAMILTON COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

June 30, 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 six month period ended June 30, 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  reporting  for income tax and
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. The financial  statements of the Company reflect the combined operations
of the Company and  American  Phoenix  Corporation  from the closing date of the
acquisition.

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.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2000

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was $4.9  million,  or $0.35
per share,  compared with $3.0 million,  or $0.23 per share.  Excluding gains in
both  periods  and  an  integration  charge  relating  to the  American  Phoenix
acquisition in the second quarter of 1999, net income was $4.8 million,  a 14.3%
increase from $4.2 million last year.  Earnings per share on the same basis were
$0.34, compared with $0.31.

Commissions and fees were $61.1 million,  an increase of 13.0% from  commissions
and fees of $54.1  million  during  the  comparable  period of the  prior  year.
Approximately   $6.5  million  of   commissions   were  derived  from   purchase
acquisitions of new insurance agencies. This increase was offset by decreases of
approximately $2.1 million from the sale of certain offices and accounts in 2000
and 1999. Excluding the effect of acquisitions and dispositions, commissions and
fees from operations owned during both periods increased 5.1%.

Investment  income was  comparable  to the same period of the prior year.  Other
income  increased $0.3 million or 110.2%.  Amounts in other income include gains
of certain insurance accounts and other assets of $0.3 million in 2000, compared
with net losses of $4,000 in 1999.

Expenses for the quarter  increased $4.1 million or 8.2%.  Integration  costs of
$1.9  million  were  charged in the  second  quarter  of 1999 to  integrate  the
operations of American Phoenix  Corporation  with the Company.  Compensation and
benefits and other operating  expenses  increased $4.1 million and $1.0 million,
respectively,  primarily due to purchase  acquisitions of new insurance agencies
and increased earnings. Amortization of intangibles increased approximately $0.4
million due  primarily to the  aforementioned  purchase  acquisitions  offset by
sales of accounts in 2000.  Interest  expense  increased  by $0.5 million due to
increased bank  borrowings and issuance of Convertible  Subordinated  Debentures
utilized to finance agency acquisition and stock repurchase programs.

The  Company's  overall  tax rate for the three  months  ended June 30, 2000 was
43.0% which was comparable to 43.6% for the same period of the prior year.



                                       10

Six Months Ended June 30, 2000

For the six months ended June 30, 2000, net income was $11.7  million,  or $0.83
per share,  compared to $10.5 million,  or $0.81 per share last year.  Excluding
the effect of gains and the integration charge, net income was $11.2 million, or
$0.79 per share, up from $9.4 million or $0.73 per share a year ago.

Commissions and fees were $126.7 million,  an increase of 26.6% from commissions
and fees of $100.1  million  during  the  comparable  period of the prior  year.
Approximately   $25.0  million  of   commissions   were  derived  from  purchase
acquisitions of new insurance agencies. This increase was offset by decreases of
approximately $2.6 million from the sale of certain offices and accounts in 2000
and 1999.  Commissions  and fees,  excluding  the  effect  of  acquisitions  and
dispositions, from operations owned during both periods increased 4.2%.

Investment income increased $0.2 million,  or 23.7%,  primarily due to increased
invested assets related to purchase  acquisitions.  Other income  decreased $2.8
million  or  65.9%  from the  prior  year  primarily  due to the net  impact  of
nonrecurring gains from the sale of certain insurance accounts an other assets.

Expenses increased by $21.5 million or 24.7%. Increases include $15.4 million in
compensation  and  benefits and $4.9 million in other  operating  expenses,  due
primarily to purchase  acquisitions  of new  insurance  agencies  and  increased
earnings.  Amortization of intangibles increased  approximately $1.3 million due
primarily to purchase  acquisitions.  Interest expense increased by $1.8 million
due  to  increased  bank  borrowings  and  Subordinated  Convertible  Debentures
utilized to finance agency acquisition and stock repurchase  programs along with
interest rate increases.

The Company's  overall tax rate of 43.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2000,
increased  from  the rate of  41.6%  for the six  months  ended  June  30,  1999
primarily  due to the  nondeductibility  of a portion of the  goodwill  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 six months
ended June 30, 2000 should not be considered  indicative of the results that may
be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2000.

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

Net cash provided by operations  totaled $24.6 million and $14.1 million for the
six  months  ended  June  30,  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 property and  equipment.  Cash  expenditures  for the
acquisition of property and equipment



                                       11
<PAGE>

were $3.1  million and $3.9  million for the six months  ended June 30, 2000 and
1999,  respectively.  The  timing  and  extent  of  the  purchase  and  sale  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 $6.2 million and $27.1 million in
the six months ended June 30, 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   acquisition,   issuance  of  Convertible
Subordinated  Debentures.  Cash  proceeds  from the sale of  accounts  and other
assets  amounted to $3.9  million and $4.6  million in the six months ended June
30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  The Company did not have any material capital
expenditure commitments as of June 30, 2000.

Financing  activities  (utilized)  provided  cash of ($11.1)  million  and $32.4
million  in the six  months  ended  June 30,  2000 and 1999,  respectively.  The
Company has consistently made debt payments and annually  increased its dividend
rate.  In  addition,  during the six months  ended June 30,  2000 and 1999,  the
Company  repurchased  116,700 and  132,600,  respectively,  shares of its Common
Stock under a stock repurchase program.  The Company is currently  authorized to
purchase an additional 390,100 shares.  The Company  anticipates the continuance
of its  dividend  policy.  The Company has a bank  credit  agreement  for $110.0
million  under which  loans are due in various  amounts  through  2004 and $32.0
million face value of 5.25%  Convertible  Subordinated  Debentures  due 2014. At
June 30,  2000,  there were loans of $75.0  million  outstanding  under the bank
agreement.

The Company had a current ratio (current assets to current  liabilities) of 0.91
to 1.00 as of June 30, 2000.  Shareholders'  equity of $76.5 million at June 30,
2000, is improved  from $71.2  million at December 31, 1999.  The debt to equity
ratio of 1.41 to 1.00 is  decreased  from the ratio at December 31, 1999 of 1.57
to 1.00 due to 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 (on a limited basis) 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



                                       12
<PAGE>

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
