                                   -----------

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 December 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  extended
warranty  programs are recognized when the service contract or extended warranty
sold by the  dealer is  received  and  accepted  by the  Company.  Revenues  are
comprised of the Company's  administration fee, underlying insurance premium and
tax.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
- -------------------------
Cash and cash equivalents  include all funds with an original maturity of ninety
days or less.

Investment Securities
- ---------------------
The Company's  investments at June 30, 1996 are comprised of trading  securities
and 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 earnings as incurred.  The Company had no  significant
unrealized gains or losses on trading securities during the three and six months
ended June 30, 1996.  Held-to- maturity securities are stated at their amortized
cost. Market value of the Company's held-to-maturity securities at June 30, 1996

<PAGE>


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 seven 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.

Premiums and Taxes Payable
- --------------------------
Premiums  and taxes  payable  includes  premiums  due to the  insurers  or their
agents,  taxes payable to various states 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.


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 and six months ended June 30, 1996. 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 twelve months ended December 31, 1995.

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 June 30, 1996,  the Company had
working  capital  of  $13,595,943  and  non-current   investment  securities  of
$1,208,075.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

THREE  MONTHS  ENDED JUNE 30, 1996  ("1996")  COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, 1995 ("1995").

Revenues for 1996 increased by 32% or $4,283,230 to  $17,726,638  over 1995. The
Company's  largest  revenue source is from the marketing and  administration  of
extended vehicle service  contracts  ("VSCs") under the EasyCare(R)  name, which
provided  99% of  revenues  for 1996.  EasyCare  revenues  increased  due to the
introduction  of  additional  Dealers to EasyCare by the  Company's  independent
sales representatives, from the exclusive agreement with Car Choice and from the
contract with American Honda Finance  Corporation.  These  increases  offset the
reduced production from our former sales representative in Louisiana.
   The Company's gross margin  increased to 21.5% of revenues in 1996 from 18.9%
of  revenues  in 1995.  The  increase  is  primarily  attributable  to  revenues
collected under the motorsports  sponsorship  program.  The change in the mix of
new and used, makes and models of vehicles also impacts the gross margin.
   Compensation,  selling and administrative  expenses for 1996 increased by 47%
or  $860,251  to  $2,708,803  over  1995.  The  increase  for 1996 is  primarily
attributable  to  compensation,   printing  and  advertising  costs,   including
motorsports sponsorship programs.
   Interest,  dividend and other income for 1996  increased by 58% or $61,722 to
$167,715  over  1995.  The  increase  is due to the larger  cash and  investment
securities balances on hand from the exercise of the Company's Class A and Class
B warrants in the fourth quarter of 1995, net income from  operations and higher
cash floats resulting from the increased volume of business.
   The Company  recorded a provision  for  income  taxes  in 1996 of $445,000 as
compared to $279,014 for 1995.  The increase is mostly related  to higher pretax
income.

SIX MONTHS  ENDED JUNE 30, 1996  ("1996")  COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE
30, 1995 ("1995").

Revenues for 1996 increased by 42% or $9,433,999 to  $32,078,926  over 1995. The
Company's  largest  revenue source is from the marketing and  administration  of
extended vehicle service  contracts  ("VSCs") under the EasyCare(R)  name, which
provided  99% of  revenues  for 1996.  EasyCare  revenues  increased  due to the
introduction  of  additional  Dealers to EasyCare by the  Company's  independent
sales representatives, from the exclusive agreement with Car Choice and from the
contract with American Honda Finance  Corporation.  These  increases  offset the
reduced production from our former sales representative in Louisiana.
   The Company's gross margin  increased to 21.5% of revenues in 1996 from 19.1%
of  revenues  in 1995.  The  increase  is  primarily  attributable  to  revenues
collected under the motorsports  sponsorship  program.  The change in the mix of
new and used, makes and models of vehicles also impacts the gross margin.
   Compensation,  selling and administrative  expenses for 1996 increased by 58%
or  $2,001,025  to  $5,448,354  over 1995.  The  increase  for 1996 is primarily
attributable to compensation, professional fees and advertising costs, including
motorsports sponsorship programs.
   Interest,  dividend and other income for 1996 increased by 76% or $144,222 to
$332,777  over  1995.  The  increase  is due to the larger  cash and  investment

   The  Company  recorded a provision  for income  taxes  in 1996 of $603,000 as
