                                  (Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The financial  information  included  herein  is  unaudited;  however,  such
information  reflects  all adjustments,  consisting  solely of  normal recurring
adjustments which  are, in  the  opinion of  management,  necessary for  a  fair
presentation  of the periods indicated.  The accompanying consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of Automobile Protection Corporation - APCO  and
its  wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Company"). Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally  included in  financial statements  prepared in  conformity
with  generally accepted  accounting principles  have been  condensed or omitted
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
These condensed  financial statements  should be  read in  conjunction with  the
consolidated  financial statements and related  notes contained in the Company's
Annual Report on  Form 10-K for  the twelve  months ended August  31, 1994.  The
Company  has changed its reporting period to a calendar basis and accordingly is
reporting  its  quarterly  results  and  annual  results  on  a  calendar  basis
commencing with the three month period ended March 31, 1995.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

    The  accompanying consolidated financial statements  include the accounts of
the Company  and its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries. All  significant  intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

REVENUES

    Revenues  from the sale  of extended vehicle  service contracts and warranty
programs are recognized when the service contract or warranty sold by the dealer
is approved and accepted by the Company. Revenues are comprised of the Company's
administration fee, insurance  premium costs, taxes  and other costs  associated
with the vehicle service contracts.

    Revenues  from  sales  of  software  are  recognized  when  the  software is
delivered to  the  customer  and  the Company  has  no  significant  obligations
remaining, and collection of the resulting receivable is probable.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

    The Company considers all investments purchased with an original maturity of
ninety days or less to be cash equivalents.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES

    The  Company's investments at March 31,  1995 are comprised of $1,095,888 of
trading  securities  and  $867,046   of  held-to-maturity  securities.   Trading
securities  are stated  at their  fair value,  which is  based on  quoted market
prices, and all unrealized gains and losses are recognized in

                                       6
<PAGE>
earnings when  incurred. The  Company  had no  significant unrealized  gains  or
losses  on  trading securities  during the  three months  ended March  31, 1995.
Held-to-maturity securities are stated at their amortized cost. The Company  had
no significant concentration of credit risk at March 31, 1995.

INVENTORIES AND PROGRAM MATERIALS

    Inventories  and program materials consist  of computer equipment for resale
and service contract program materials, such as contract forms and point of sale
brochures. Program materials are stated at  cost and are amortized as  consumed.
Computer  equipment is stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in,
first-out method. Market is defined as net realizable value.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

    Property and equipment is stated  at cost less accumulated depreciation  and
amortization.   Depreciation   and   amortization  are   calculated   using  the
straight-line method for  financial reporting purposes  and accelerated  methods
for  income tax purposes over  the estimated useful lives  of the assets ranging
from three to ten years. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense  as
incurred,  and major renewals and betterments are capitalized. When property and
equipment is  retired  or  sold,  the related  carrying  value  and  accumulated
depreciation  are removed from  the accounts and  any resulting gain  or loss is
reflected in income.

GOODWILL

    Cost in excess of the fair value of net assets acquired, which resulted from
the Company's acquisition of a software company, has been recorded as goodwill
and is being amortized using the  straight-line method over an estimated  useful
life of ten years.

PREMIUMS, FEES AND TAXES PAYABLE

    Premiums, fees and taxes payable represent unremitted amounts payable to the
Company's  insurers  or  their  agents  for  premiums due  on  extended  vehicle
service contracts, extended warranty and  other insurance programs accepted  for
administration  by the Company. The balance  also includes brokerage fees, state
insurance taxes, and amounts advanced to the Company by the insurers for payment
of claims.

INCOME TAXES

    The Company provides income taxes on income reported for financial statement
purposes. Deferred income taxes are recorded for differences in the  recognition
of  various items for  financial reporting and income  tax purposes. The Company
files a consolidated income tax return with its subsidiaries.

NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

    Net income  per share  has been  calculated based  on the  weighted  average
number  of common  shares and common  share equivalents  outstanding during each
period presented.

                                       7

3. SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

    The Company issued  a total of  315,380 shares  of its common  stock to  two
officers  and a former officer in connection  with the exercise of certain stock
options granted to these individuals in 1990.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

    The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results  of
operations  presents the more  significant factors affecting  the Company during
the three months  ended March 31,  1995. The discussion  and analysis should  be
read  in conjunction  with the  unaudited consolidated  financial statements and
related notes appearing elsewhere herein and the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the 12 months ended August 31, 1994.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995 ("1995") COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
MARCH 31, 1994 ("1994").

    Revenues for  1995  increased  by  45%  or  $2,847,389  to  $9,201,519  from
$6,354,130  in 1994. The Company's largest  revenue source is from the marketing
and administration  of extended  vehicle service  contracts ("VSCs")  under  the
EasyCare-Registered  Trademark- name, which  provided 98% of  revenues for 1995.
EasyCare  revenues  increased  due  to  the  Company's  success  in   recruiting
additional  independent sales agents  and introducing additional  Dealers to the
EasyCare product.

    The Company's gross margin decreased to 19% of revenues in 1995 from 21%  of
revenues  in 1994. The  decrease is due  to the prior  year including consulting
fees on a  major contract, increased  incentives paid to  agents and dealers  to
promote  the EasyCare product and additional  benefit features provided with the
EasyCare product. The gross margin may also be effected by the change in the mix
of new and used, makes and models  of vehicles for which VSCs were accepted  for
administration.

    Compensation,  selling and administrative expenses for 1995 increased by 39%
or $452,442 to $1,598,777 from $1,146,335 in 1994. The 1995 expense increase  is
primarily  attributable to increases in personnel, compensation, printed program
materials and marketing. The Company has been enlarging its marketing  personnel
to support its growth opportunities.

    Interest,  dividend and other income increased in 1995 by 277% or $60,666 to
$82,562 from $21,896 in 1994. The increase is a result of the Company  investing
more  funds in  marketable securities  and interest  earning deposits  to secure
licenses.

    The Company recorded  a provision  for income taxes  in 1995  of $70,500  as
compared to $59,894 for 1994.  The Company's effective  tax rate is 39% for 1995
compared to 41% for 1994.

                                       8
<PAGE>
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    The Company believes that its current working capital and anticipated levels
of  internally  generated funds  will be  sufficient to  fund its  operating and
capital expenditure requirements for the next twenty four months. This  estimate
is  based on the  Company's current level of  operations and certain assumptions
relating to the Company's  business and planned growth.  At March 31, 1995,  the
Company  had working capital of $3,178,488, which  is a decrease of $99,722 from
the balance of $3,278,210 at December 31,  1994 and an increase of $44,483  from
the balance of $3,134,005 at August 31, 1994. The decrease from the December 31,
1994  balance  is  due  to  the  Company  investing  more  funds  in non-current
marketable securities and deposits to secure state licenses.
