NOTE TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

June 30, 1996

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been
prepared by the Registrant without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission and reflect all adjustments consisting
of normal recurring accruals, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary
for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods shown.
These statements are condensed and do not include all information required by
generally accepted accounting principles to be included in a full set of
financial statements. It is suggested that these condensed statements be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements at and for the year ended
December 31, 1995 and notes thereto, included in the Registrant's annual report
as of that date. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform
with current period presentations.


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

OPERATIONS

Three months ended June 30, 1996 compared to three months ended June 30, 1995:

Net income decreased by $105,203 from $124,697 in the second quarter of 1995 to
$19,494 in the second quarter of 1996 due primarily to fluctuations in
investment results. Net investment income for the quarter was $617,450, compared
to $704,827 for same quarter of 1995. The second quarter 1996 net investment
income represents an effective annualized yield of 6.3%, as compared to a yield
of 7.2% for the second quarter of 1995. The 6.3% yield in the current period is
trending downward slightly from the 6.5% yield recorded in recent quarters, as
older higher-yielding investments mature and are replaced by lower yielding
issues. The 7.2% yield in the second quarter of 1995 is skewed upward due to
adjustments to accrued interest related to funds held by Virginia Surety which
were tranferred to AmerInst during that quarter.

Capital losses of $(130,157) were realized during the second quarter of 1996 as
a result of sales of some lower-yielding fixed-maturity securities for
reinvestment in higher-yielding bonds and equities.

The net underwriting loss for the most recent quarter of $(474,471) exceeded the
second quarter 1995 underwriting loss of $(404,154) primarily due to the
contractual increase in commissions which became effective July 1, 1995.

Six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to six months ended June 30, 1995:

Net income increased to $280,057 from $118,711 due primarily to improved
investment results in the first quarter of 1996.  Investment yield for the six
month period remained consistent with recent experience at approximately 6.5%.
Sales of securities during the first six months of 1996 resulted in realized
capital gains of $39,265 as compared to losses of $(255,957) in the same period
in 1995.  The 1996 net gain is the combination of a first quarter gain of
$169,422, primarily realized as a result of the liquidation of the mutual fund
portfolio, with a second quarter loss of $(130,157) as discussed above.  In the
first half of 1996, the Company retained an equity manager and invested
$2,000,000 in equities which previously had been invested in fixed-maturity
securities and mutual funds.  In the first half of the prior year, the Company
made a tax payment of $3,500,000, necessitating the sale of several fixed-
maturity investments.  Investments selected were those generating a capital loss
in order to obtain the benefit of tax loss carrybacks.

Earned premiums for the first six months of 1996 declined by 2% from the same
period of the prior year due to the continued competitive Accountants
Professional Liability Insurance market. Policy acquisition costs increased by
23.9% due to the contractual increase in commission expenses from 21.5% to 28.5%
effective July 1, 1995. These changes were offset by a reduction in the
provisional loss ratio from 97% for 1995 business to 92% for 1996 business. The
Company uses the provisional loss ratio applied to premiums assumed and earned
to adjust its liability for losses and loss adjustment expenses during interim
periods. The provisional loss ratio is determined by management in consultation
with an independent consulting actuary and after consideration of the Company's
historical loss experience and certain industry data. The Company does not
record development of prior year reserves at interim reporting dates. These
fluctuations combined to result in a net underwriting loss of $(914,295) for the
period as compared to $(940,773) for the same period in 1995, a difference of
$26,478 or 3%.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

As of June 30, 1996, 90% of investments were in fixed-maturity securities other
than short-term investments. As discussed above, management has appointed a new
equity manager, and allocated approximately $2,000,000 or 5% of total
investments to a new equity portfolio during the second quarter of 1996.

The balance due from reinsurers represents current assumed premiums receivable
less commissions, losses and loss adjustment expenses payable to the fronting
carriers. This balance decreased from $1,126,426 at December 31, 1995 to $2,716
at June 30, 1996 as a result of an increase in losses currently payable in
comparison with premiums assumed.

The registrant paid its fourth consecutive quarterly dividend of $0.65 per share
during the second quarter of 1996.
