                                AMENDMENT NO. 1


     The undersigned registrant hereby amends Item 3, QUANTITATIVE AND
QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK, of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 to read in full as follows:

ITEM 3:  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

     The Company's balance sheet includes a significant amount of assets and
liabilities whose fair value are subject to market risk. Market risk is the risk
of loss arising from adverse changes in market interest rates or prices. The
Company currently has interest rate risk as it relates to its fixed maturity
securities and mortgage loans, equity price risk as it relates to its marketable
equity securities, and foreign currency risk as it relates to investments
denominated in foreign currencies. The Company's bank debt is short-term in
nature as the Company generally secures rates for periods of approximately one
to two years and therefore approximates fair value. At March 31, 1999, the
Company had $31.5 million of fixed maturity securities and mortgage loans, $71.5
million of marketable equity securities that were subject to market risk, and
$38.6 million of investments denominated in foreign currencies, primarily Swiss
Francs. The Company's investment strategy is to manage the duration of the
portfolio relative to the duration of the liabilities while managing interest
rate risk.

     The Company uses two models to analyze the sensitivity of its assets and
liabilities subject to the above risks. For its fixed maturity securities, and
mortgage loans, the Company uses duration modeling to calculate changes in fair
value. For its marketable securities the Company uses a hypothetical 20%
decrease in the fair value to analyze the sensitivity of its market risk assets
and liabilities. For investments denominated in foreign currencies the Company
uses a hypothetical 20% decrease in the local currency of that investment.
Actual results may differ from the hypothetical results assumed in this
disclosure due to possible actions taken by management to mitigate adverse
changes in fair value and because the fair value of a securities may be affected
by credit concerns of the issuer, prepayment rates, liquidity, and other general
market conditions. The sensitivity analysis duration model produced a loss in
fair value of $300,000 on its fixed securities and mortgage loans. The
hypothetical 20% decrease in fair value of the Company's marketable equity
securities produced a loss in fair value of $12.2 million that would impact the
unrealized appreciation in shareholders' equity. The hypothetical 20% decrease
in the local currency of the Company's foreign denominated investments produced
a loss of $6.2 million that would impact the unrealized appreciation and foreign
currency translation in shareholders' equity.
