                    INTERCARGO CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (unaudited)

1.  Basis of Presentation

    The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared
    pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
    Commission.  Certain information and note disclosures normally included in
    financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
    accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  The Company believes
    that the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all
    adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present
    fairly the Company's consolidated financial position as of September 30,
    1995, and December 31, 1994, and the consolidated results of operations and
    the consolidated cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30,
    1995 and 1994.

    The results of operations for the nine month period ended September 30,
    1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
    full year.

    These consolidated unaudited interim financial statements should be read in
    conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the
    December 31, 1994 Form 10-K filed by the Company.

    Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial statements
    to conform with 1995 presentation.

2.  Earnings per Share

    Earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average number of
    shares outstanding which includes common stock equivalents (if dilutive)
    relating to outstanding options.

    The Company's common stock at September 30, 1995, consists of approximately
    7.6 million shares outstanding, $1.00 par value per share.  The Company
    also has 149 thousand outstanding stock options.

3.  Long Term Debt

    The Company's $10.0 million bank line of credit had an outstanding balance
    amounting to $8.3 million at December 31, 1994.  In January 1995, the
    Company drew an additional $1.0 million on the line to increase the
    statutory capital and surplus of the Canadian insurance subsidiary,
    Kingsway General Insurance Company.

Item 2.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

OPERATING RESULTS

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1994.

Consolidated earned premium for the first nine months of 1995 increased 17.7%
to $64.5 million from $54.8 million in 1994, which was a 66.2% increase over
1993.  Earned premium for U.S. and U.K. operations increased 25.8% to $40.3
million in the first nine months of 1995 compared to $32.0 million in 1994,
which was a 25.91% increase over 1993. Earned premium from U.K. operations
amounted to $2.4 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 1995
compared to $500 thousand in 1994.  Earned premium for Canadian operations
increased 6.4% to $24.2 million in the first nine months of 1995 from $22.8
million in 1994.  Canadian earned premium for 1994 increased 202.2% over the
first nine months of 1993. Canadian sales efforts and lack of competition
afforded an opportunity to achieve production increases in 1994 over 1993.
However, management slowed the production level to bring the ratio of premium
to surplus to acceptable levels.

Consolidated net investment income for the first nine months of 1995 increased
39.3% to $4.5 million from $3.2 million in 1994.  Net investment income
increased in the first nine months of 1994 to $3.2 million, a 5.61% increase
from $3.1 million in the nine months of 1993.  Overall yields on investments
have increased in the first nine months of 1995 over 1994 consistent with the
general increase in interest rates in the last year.  In addition, total
investment balances have increased with increased premium volume.

Consolidated loss and loss adjustment expense for the first nine months of 1995
increased 18.4% to $35.1 million over 1994.  This compares to a 138.9% increase
to $29.7 million in 1994 from $12.4 million for the comparable period in 1993.
The consolidated loss ratio for the first nine months of 1995 amounted to 54.5% 
compared to 54.2% in the first nine months of 1994.  Management, in conjunction
with an independent actuary, increased loss reserves in its Canadian operations
for further development relating to 1994 and prior periods. Canadian loss
reserves and incurred losses were increased $3.7 million as a result.

On October 30, 1995, the Company's Canadian subsidiary, Kingsway Financial
Services, filed a preliminary prospectus for a proposed initial public offering
of its common shares to be offered in Canada.  The Company intends to
participate in this offering as a selling shareholder, but will retain a
substantial investment in Kingsway.  The Kingsway common shares have not been
and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to or for the account of
U.S. persons absent registration or an applicable exemption from the
registration requirements of such Act.

Policy acquisition costs rose $753 thousand to $15.0 million in 1995, an
increase of 5.3% over 1994.  U.S. net premiums written increased in the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 by 18.1% over the comparable period in 1994.
Canadian net premiums written decreased during the period by 16.4%; however,
the 1995 level represents 160.0% of the average net premium written levels for
the three comparable periods prior to 1994.  Other underwriting expenses
increased $1.3 million.  Other underwriting expenses including salaries,
travel, communication, rent and other operating items, have increased primarily
in U.S. operations with premium volume increases and the expansion of
operations into foreign markets.  See discussion below under "Results by Line."

OPERATING RESULTS (CONT.)




Net income for the first nine months of 1995 increased 73.7% to $5.8 million.
This compares to a 5.7% decrease to $3.3 million in the first nine months 1994,
from $3.5 million in 1993.  Earnings per share were $0.75 per share for the
first nine months of 1995 on 7.7 million average shares outstanding.  This
represents a 74.4% increase over the comparable period of 1994 earnings per
share, which were $0.43 per share on 7.7 million average shares outstanding.
First nine months 1994 earnings per share had declined 14% from $0.50 per share
on 7.1 million average shares outstanding in the first nine months of 1993.


THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1994.

Earned premiums for the three months ended September 30, 1995 declined $706
thousand or 3.3% from the comparable period in 1994.  Lower premium production
in Canada caused Canadian earned premium to decline $1.310 million or 13.3% in
the third quarter of 1995 compared to 1994.  U.S. and U.K. earned premium for
the three month period ended September 30, 1995 increased $604 thousand or 5.1%
to $12.3 million over $11.8 million in the comparable period of 1994 as premium
production increased in the U.S. professional liability and other property and
casualty operations in 1995.

Net investment income increased in the three month period ended September 30,
1995 consistent with the overall increase in interest rates during 1995 and the
increase in investment balances from higher levels of premium production.

The consolidated loss ratio for the third quarter of 1995 has increased to
57.1% from 53.9% for the comparable period of 1994.  Such an increase is
consistent with the increase in loss reserves for Canadian operations described
above.

Total other underwriting expenses decreased due to continued expense control
efforts.  Policy acquisition costs rose consistent with increased sales efforts
in Canadian, U.S. and overseas operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES




The Company's total assets have increased to $147.4 million at September 30,
1995, up from $128.4 million at December 31, 1994.  Stockholder's equity
increased from $39.9 million at December 31, 1994 to $46.4 million at September
30, 1995.  In addition to posting a net gain from operations in the first nine
months of 1995, increases in the value of the investment portfolio and foreign
currency translation gains increased consolidated shareholders' equity by $2.1
million.

The company paid dividends of $0.09 per share on March 15, 1995 to holders of
record as of March 9, 1995 and on September 15, 1995 to holders of record as of
September 8, 1995.

The Company generated net cash from operations of $6.7 million for the nine
month period ended September 30, 1995, compared to $9.5 million for the nine
month period ended September 30, 1994, or a decrease of 29%.  Settlements of
liabilities for premiums payable by U.S. agency and underwriting operations and
premiums tax liabilities accounted for $1.5 million in increased operating cash
disbursements in 1995.  The Company expects short and long-term cash needs to
be satisfied by operating cash flows.  To supplement existing working capital,
the Company utilizes a bank line of credit of $10.0 million.  This line is used
to fund expansion and for general corporate purposes.

RESULTS BY LINE (CONT.)

Net earned premiums on the Company's U.S. and U.K. Operations for the first
nine months of 1995 have increased $8.3 million or 25.8% over the comparable
period in 1994, to $40.3 million. Earned premiums for the Company's U.K.
operation (all derived from marine insurance) were $2.4 million with a 102.2%
combined ratio in the first nine months of 1995. The Company's contract bond
program net earned premium grew $1.5 million or 35.5% to $5.6 million.  U.S.
Customs bond net earned premiums amounted to $12.8 million in the first nine
months of 1995, comparable in amount to the same period in 1994.

The U.S. marine earned premiums increased 18.5% to $12.5 million for the first
nine months of 1995, from $10.6 million in the comparable period in 1994.
Earned premiums for professional liability were $3.0 million for the first nine
months of 1995, an increase over the first nine months 1994 earned premium of
$1.5 million.  Loss experience has improved significantly on professional
liability in 1995.  The combined ratio has declined to 88.6% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 compared to 227.5% for the comparable period of
1994.  Management attributes the improvement to the effects of closer
underwriting, premium rate adjustments over last year and the lack of severe
losses in 1995.

Earned premium on the Company's U.S. other property and casualty operations
increased 62.9% to $4.1 million for the first nine months of 1995, up from $2.5

months ended September 30, 1995 amounted to 113.0% from 112.7% for the same
period of 1994.

first nine months of 1995, up from $22.8 million in the same period of 1994, to
$24.2 million.  Canadian net premiums written for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 declined 16.4% to $24.8 million from $29.6 million net
written in 1994.  Net written premium for the first nine months 1994 had
increased 151.6% over 1993.  Management has moderated premium production to
maintain premium to surplus ratios at acceptable levels; yet the current level
of net written premium amounts to 160% of the average of the comparable three
periods preceding 1994.  The total combined ratio for Canadian operations
increased to 96.8% for the nine month period ended September 30, 1995 compared
to the comparable period for 1994 as a result of reserve strengthening recorded
in September, 1995.  Approximately $3.7 million was added to Canadian loss
reserves at September 30, 1995 to account for increased development in 1995 on
policies written in 1994 and earlier. Canadian auto earned premium for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 amounted to $18.5 million compared to $18.7
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1994. In addition, the auto
combined ratio rose to 92.9% compared to 89.8% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1994. Furthermore, Canadian property earned premium in the first
nine months of 1995 increased 40.8% while the related combined ratio rose from
107.6% in the first nine months of 1994 to 113.2% in the first nine months of
1995.
