                                   WALSHIRE ASSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 1.  The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 1996, the consolidated
statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,
and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months then ended have
been prepared by Walshire Assurance Company ( the Company ) without audit.  In
the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring
adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows at June 30, 1996 and for all periods presented, have
been made.

2.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been omitted.  It is suggested that these unaudited consolidated financial
statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes 
thereto
included in the Company s 1995 Annual Report.  The results of operations for the
period ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results of
operations for the full year.

3. Net income per common share is computed after recognition of preferred stock
dividend requirements and is based on the weighted average number of shares of
common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding.  The number of common
shares was increased by the number of shares issuable on the exercise of options
when the market price of the common stock exceeds the exercise price of the
options.  This increase in the number of common shares was reduced by the number
of common shares that are assumed to have been purchased with the proceeds from
the exercise of the options; these purchases were assumed to have been made at
the average price of the common stock during that part of the year when the
market price of the common stock exceeded the exercise price of the options.

     Fully diluted net income per share was determined on the assumption that
the convertible preferred stock was converted and the outstanding stock options
were exercised on January 1, 1996 and 1995.  As to the preferred stock, net
income was adjusted for dividends declared.  As to the options, outstanding
shares were increased as described above except that purchases of common stock
are assumed to have been made at the higher of the period-end price or the
average price of the common stock during that part of the year when the market
price of the common stock exceeded the exercise price of the options.

4.  The Company has agreed to acquire Yorktowne Mutual Insurance Company
("Yorktowne"), subject to certain conditions.  Yorktowne is a multi-line writer
operating solely in Pennsylvania; direct premiums written in 1995 were $6.7
million.  It is anticipated that the merger will be completed near the end of 
the
third quarter of 1996.  The Company has also invested in a start-up company,
Network America, Inc., which will offer products exclusively to the Company's
insureds.  These transactions should not materially affect Walshire's financial
results for 1996.

5.  Forward Looking Statements.  The information contained in this Quarterly
Report contains forward looking statements (as such term is defined in the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the regulations thereunder), including
without limitation, statements as to the allowances for doubtful accounts and 
credit losses, reserves for unpaid claims and claim settlement expenses, the 

    7

classification of the Company's investment portfolio and other statements as to
management's beliefs, expectations or opinions.  Such forward looking statements
are subject to risks and uncertainties and may be affected by various factors
which may cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward
looking statements.  Certain of these risks, uncertainties and other factors are
discussed in this Quarterly Report or in the Company's Annual Report on 
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1995, a copy of which may be obtained from the
Company upon request and without charge (except for the exhibits thereto).

6.  Investment Considerations.  In analyzing whether to make, or to continue, 
an investment in the Company, investors should consider, among other factors, 
certain investment considerations more particularly described in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995, a copy of which
may be obtained from the Company upon request and without charge (except for the
exhibits thereto).

Item 2.  Management s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
        Results of Operations

Revenues for the three month period ended June 30, 1996 increased $3.3  million,
or 33.7%, from revenues for the three month period ended June 30, 1995.  This
increase was primarily the result of increases in premiums earned and net
realized gains on investments. Direct premiums written increased $1.9 million,
or 14.2%, in the three month period ended June 30, 1996 when compared to the 
same
period in 1995.  The following table sets forth the direct premiums written by
the Company for the three month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 by line of
business. 

                                          (In thousands)
                                    Three months ended June 30,
                                        1996          1995        %Change 
          Auto liability        $ 6,954       $ 6,407         8.5 %
          Auto physical damage        5,878         4,797        22.5 %
          Workers  compensation       1,323         1,333       (  .8)%
          Inland marine                 883           685        28.9 %
          Other                         267           185        44.3 %
                 Total             $15,305       $13,407        14.2 % 

Expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 1996 increased $3.2  million,
or 40.1%, over expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 1995.  The
increase was the result of increases in net claims and claim settlement 
expenses,
amortization of deferred acquisition costs and underwriting, general and
administrative expenses.  Increases in net claims and claim settlement expenses
were the result of increases in earned premiums, as well as an increase in the
statutory loss ratio from 59.6% in 1995 to 66.5% in 1996. The increase in the
loss ratio was due primarily to an increase in the loss ratio of the Company's
liability products.  As a result of recent unrelated verdicts in various
jurisdictions, a decision was made to increase reserves in the current period. 
The increase in the amortization of deferred acquisition costs was primarily the
result of the increase in net premiums earned. Increases in underwriting, 
general
and administrative expenses were primarily the result of increases in premiums
written. The statutory combined ratio for the three month period ended June 30,
1996 was 94.4%, an increase from 86.6% for the three month period ended June 30,
1995.  The effective tax rate for each period was approximately 21%.


8
Revenues for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 increased $5.9 million, 
or 31.1%, from revenues for the six month period ended June 30, 1995.  This 
increase was primarily the result of increases in premiums earned and net
realized gains on investments.  Direct premiums written increased $4.9 million,
or 19.9%, in the six month period ended June 30, 1996 when compared to the same
period in 1995.  The following table sets forth the direct premiums written by
the Company for the six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 by line of
business.

          Auto liability        $13,119       $11,395        15.1 %

          Workers  compensation       3,111         2,548        22.1 %
          Inland marine               1,739         1,367        27.2 %
          Other                         365           415       (12.0)%
               Total               $29,744       $24,807        19.9 %

Expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 increased $6.9 million, 
or 44.1%, over expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 1995.  The
increase was primarily the result of increases in net claims and claim 
settlement
expenses, amortization of deferred acquisition costs and underwriting, general
and administrative expenses.  Increases in net claims and claim settlement
expenses were the result of increases in earned premiums, and an increase in the
statutory loss ratio from 60.2% in 1995 to 69.5% in 1996. Claims in the first
quarter of 1996 were negatively impacted by the most severe winter weather
conditions in recent history. Claims in the second quarter of 1996 were higher
due to an increase in the loss ratio of the Company's liability products. As a
result of recent unrelated verdicts in various jurisdictions, a decision was 
made
to increase reserves in the current period.  The increase in the amortization of
deferred acquisition costs was primarily the result of the increase in net
premiums earned.  Increases in underwriting, general and administrative expenses
were primarily the result of increases in premiums written.  The statutory
combined ratio for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 was 98.1%, an
increase from 87.3% for the six month period ended June 30, 1995.  The decrease
in the effective tax rate from 21% in 1995 to 17% in 1996 is a result of a
greater portion of net income being attributable to tax exempt interest.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, the Company has generated funds sufficient to support its
operations and has maintained a high degree of liquidity in its investment
portfolio.  The primary sources of funds to meet the demands of claim 
settlements
and operating expenses are premiums, ceding commissions, investment income and
existing lines of credit.  The Company s funds generally are invested in
securities with maturities intended to provide adequate funds to pay claims and
expenses without the forced sale of investments.  The Company believes that its
current cash and short term investments, together with funds generated from
operations, will be sufficient to meet its operating and capital requirements 
for
the foreseeable future.
