                   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 June 30, 1997, and
   December 31, 1996, and the consolidated results of operations and the
   consolidated cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 1997, and
   1996.

   The results of operations for the six month period ended June 30, 1997, 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, 1996 Form 10-K filed by the Company.

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 June 30, 1997, consists of 7.7 million
   shares outstanding $1.00 par value per share.  The Company also has 143
   thousand outstanding stock options.

3. Long Term Debt

Item 2.

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

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets of the Company increased to $142.6 million at June 30, 1997 from
$133.7 million at December 31, 1996.  Total investments increased to $73.5
million from $66.6 million.  Total stockholders' equity increased to $51.2
million from $48.0 million.  This increase was the result of net income of $3.8
million, plus unrealized market value changes in investments, less dividends
paid.  On March 14, 1997 a dividend of $.09 per share was paid totaling
$689,398.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Earned premium for the second quarter of 1997 decreased $2.8 million, or 16.6%,
to $13.8 million as compared to the second quarter of 1996.  For the first six
months of 1997, earned premium declined $3.8 million, or 12.0%, to $27.6
million from the same period in 1996.  Included in the 1996 second quarter
amount is $1.6 million of returned premium from reinsurers which was recaptured
pursuant to a restructuring of the reinsurance treaty related to the U.S.
Customs bonds product line.  Bond earned premium was also negatively impacted
by a change in the reinsurance on surety business and by the movement to rates
net of commissions for U.S. Customs bonds.  Losses and loss adjustment expenses
for the second quarter of 1997 decreased $1.4 million, or 15.9%, from the
second quarter of 1996 due primarily to the decrease in volume.  For the first
six months of 1997, losses and loss adjustment expenses decreased $1.5 million,
or 9.1%, due to the decrease in volume.  The loss ratio for the first six
months of 1997 was 53.0% versus 51.2% for the first six months of 1996.  This
increase reflects a change in reserve factors in certain product lines.

Policy acquisition costs for the second quarter of 1997 decreased $970,000, or
23.7% from the second quarter of 1996.  For the first six months of 1997 these
costs decreased $2.4 million, or 28.1% from the first six months of 1996.  The
decrease is due to lower premium volumes, the continuing move to rate
structures that are net of broker commissions, and to increased deferral rates
for acquisition costs for products with improved margins.

Equity in net income of investee reflects the Company's equity in the earnings
of Kingsway Financial Services, Inc.  This component of net income increased
$328,000, or 29.6% during the second quarter of 1997 as compared to the second
quarter of 1996.  For the first six months of 1997 the increase was $744,000,
or 44.8% as compared to the first half of 1996.  The increase reflects the
continued strong operations of Kingsway, in which the Company currently has
approximately a 31% ownership interest.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's operations absorbed $306,000 and $1.7 million of net cash flow
for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  Increases in
balances due from reinsurers and in premiums receivable were significant
factors in the 1997 result.  These factors are a result of timing differences.
At June 30, 1997 and at December 31, 1996 the Company had borrowed $9.735
million against a line of credit with a maximum limit of $13.8 million.

The Company intends to offer and sell substantially all of its common shares of
Kingsway Financial Services, Inc.  The Kingsway shares will be included in a
combination primary and secondary offering registered in Canada under which
Kingsway will be selling shares of common stock for its own account.  The
Kingsway shares will not be, and have not been, registered under the U.S.
Securities Act of 1933 and may not be offered or sold in the United States
absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration
requirements of that Act.  The Company

                                       9


<PAGE>   10

currently holds 4,180,000 Kingsway common shares, of which 4,090,100
are expected to be sold in the offering.  The net proceeds to the Company will
be used to repay the principal balance of the Company's bank line of credit and
for other corporate purposes.  The securities offering is expected to be
completed by the end of August, 1997.


FOREWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This statement includes foreward-looking information as that term is defined in
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is therefore subject
to certain risks and uncertainties.  There can be no assurance that actual
results, business conditions, business developments, losses and contingencies
and local and foreign factors will not differ materially from that suggested in
the foreward looking statements as a result of various factors including market
conditions, competition, reinsurance availability, foreign affairs, and natural
disasters.

RESULTS BY LINE

The following table illustrates the premium earned (dollars in thousands) for
each major line of business for the six month periods ended June 30, 1997 and
1996.  It also sets forth the combined ratios by line and in the aggregate for
the Company.  Combined ratios on a GAAP basis are presented here as the Company
feels this provides a conservative and consistent representation of operational
performance as a whole.  A combined ratio of less than 100% generally indicates
an underwriting profit.  Many of the large property and casualty companies
which sell standard commercial and personal lines of insurance have
historically posted combined ratios well in excess of 100%.  No assurance is
made that loss and loss adjustment expenses accruals upon which the Company's
combined ratios are based may not prove to vary significantly from the ultimate
results.

Net earned premium for the first six months of 1997 has decreased to $27.6
million from $31.3 million a year earlier.  Included in the previous year's
amount is $1.6 million of returned premium from reinsurers recaptured pursuant
to a restructuring of the Customs bond treaty.  Bond earned premium was also
negatively affected by a change in reinsurance on the contract surety business
and the movement to rates net of commissions for U.S. Customs bonds.

The combined ratios for all lines of business, except bonds, have decreased in
the first quarter of 1997 over the same period for 1996.  The combined ratio
decreases as policy acquisition costs and loss reserving rates decline.
