                   Financial Condition and Operating Results

Item 2
Results of Operations
FIRST QUARTER OF 1995 COMPARED WITH FIRST QUARTER OF 1994:

REVENUE

Total revenue for the first quarter decreased from $10.0 million in 1994 to
$7.9 million in 1995, a decrease of $2.1 million or 21.1%.

Net premiums written decreased from  $5.4 million in 1994 to $3.7 million in
1995, a decrease of $1.7 million or 32.4%.  The decrease in net premiums
written for the first quarter of 1995 was principally due to three factors:
(1) heavy cancellations by one of the Company's larger customers accounted for
approximately $750,000  of the decrease; (2) 1994 premiums written included
approximately $480,000 from a significant customer whose loan processing
portfolio was sold by the RTC in late 1994 and therefore, this customer did not
contribute to premiums in the first quarter of 1995, and; (3) the change in
reserves for premium cancellations accounted for approximately $440,000 of the
decrease.

During the first quarter of 1995, the Company's Insurance Subsidiary exchanged
written communication with the California Department of Insurance regarding its
premium refund obligation under California Proposition 103 (see Note 9 of the
1994 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).  The Insurance Subsidiary
expects to continue communication with the California Department of Insurance,
but at this time there has been no final agreement with the California
Department of Insurance or change in the status of the Company's estimates for
this contingent liability.

Net premiums earned for the first quarter decreased from $5.9 million in 1994
to $4.5 million in 1995, a decrease of $1.4 million or 23.6% due primarily to
the same factors which caused the decline in net premiums written during the
period.

Flood inquiry fees for the first quarter decreased from $2.9 million in 1994 to
$1.7 million in 1995, a decrease of $1.2 million or 40.8%.  At the end of the
first quarter of 1994 the Federal Reserve began a series of interest rate
increases which brought a sudden collapse to the mortgage refinancing market.
Although loan origination volumes have declined by approximately 50% for the
mortgage origination industry, the Company has responded by converting
customers to its higher priced life-of-loan product as the industry complies
with recent regulations issued by Freddie Mac.

Tracking fees for the first quarter increased from $705,000 in 1994 to $997,000
in 1995, an increase of $292,000 or 41.4%. The increase is due primarily to the
addition of new outsourcing customers.


                                       7
<PAGE>   10
Net commission income for the first quarter of 1995 increased by $136,000 from
$62,000 in 1994 to $198,000 in 1995.  The increase was primarily generated by a
new customer which produced significant premiums in states which required
placing the premiums with a nonaffiliated insurance company from which the
Company receives a commission.

Net investment income remained relatively unchanged at $484,000 for 1994 and
$510,000 for 1995.


EXPENSES

Loss and loss expenses incurred decreased in total from $2.6 million (44.3% of
net premiums earned) for the first quarter in 1994 to $1.9 million (40.3% of
premiums earned) for the same period in 1995. The decrease in losses as a
percentage of premiums earned is primarily due to losses incurred for the
Southern California earthquake in January 1994, including the Company's share
of losses incurred by the California FAIR Plan Association.

Commissions paid to nonaffiliates decreased from $1.3 million (22.8% of
premiums earned) in the first quarter of 1994 to $0.7 million (15.2% of
premiums earned) in the first quarter of 1995 a decrease of $0.6 million or
48.9%. The decrease is due primarily to the elimination of ceding commission
for fronting arrangements and the elimination of the expense reimbursement to a
major customer.

Personnel expenses decreased $0.3 million or 7.1% from $3.6 million in the
first quarter of 1994 to $3.3 million in the first quarter of 1995, due to 
layoffs of certain part-time employees and the relocation of the Bellevue 
office which eliminated certain duplicate personnel.

All other expenses increased from $2.0 million in the first quarter 1994 to
$2.3 million for the first quarter in 1995, an increase of $0.3 million or 
14.9%, due primarily to the amortization of deferred acquisition cost accounts.

As a result of the above factors, operating income before provision for income
taxes for the first quarter of 1995 decreased $797,000 from a $460,000 profit
in first quarter of 1994 to a loss of $337,000 in first quarter of 1995.  The
net income for the first quarter of 1994 was $313,000 or $.06 per share
compared with a net loss of $229,000 or $.05 for the first quarter of 1995. The
weighted average number of shares for the first quarter of 1995 is the same as
the actual number of shares outstanding, or 4,678,729, because the Company has
a loss for the period, compared to the weighted average number of shares for
the same period in 1994 of 5,204,496.
