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

General

The following  discussion and analysis  should be read in  conjunction  with the
consolidated financial statements and related notes on pages 3 through 6 of this
Quarterly  Report on Form  10-Q.  The  reader is  presumed  to have read or have
access to Integon Corporation's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Results of Continuing Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 ("1996") Compared with Three Months Ended
March 31, 1995 ("1995")

     Net premiums written  increased 37.6% from $141.2 million in 1995 to $194.3
million in 1996. Nonstandard automobile insurance net premiums written increased
from $129.1  million in 1995 to $176.8 million in 1996 or 36.9% due primarily to
growth in the Company's more mature  operating  states.  Specialty auto products
net premiums written  increased 97.3% from $5.6 million in 1995 to $11.0 million
in 1996.  Premiums  earned on all lines of business  increased 27.2% from $129.5
million  in 1995 to $164.8  million in 1996 and  reflects  the  increase  in net
premiums written referred to above.

     Loss and loss  adjustment  expenses  increased  38.7% from $94.1 million in
1995 to  $130.6  million  in 1996.  The  loss  ratio,  defined  as loss and loss
adjustment expenses as a percentage of premiums earned,  increased from 72.7% in
1995 to 79.2% in 1996 due  primarily  to  severe  winter  weather.  The  Company
experienced  a 19% increase in the  frequency of claims in 1996  compared to the
same period in 1995 and estimates that the severe winter  weather  accounted for
$9.0 million to $10.0 million of additional loss and loss adjustment expenses.

     Policy acquisition and other  underwriting  expenses increased $6.0 million
from $29.0 million in 1995 to $35.0 million in 1996. The expense ratio,  defined
as policy  acquisition  and  other  underwriting  expenses  as a  percentage  of
premiums earned,  decreased from 22.4% in 1995 to 21.2% in 1996. The decrease in
the expense ratio was due primarily to increased operating efficiencies.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
             Condition and Results of Operations.  (continued)

         Net investment  income increased 4.8% from $7.4 million in 1995 to $7.8
million in 1996 as a result of the increase in average  invested assets of $68.4
million.  This higher  level of invested  assets was  partially  offset by lower
yields.  The pre-tax yield of the portfolio was 6.1% in 1996 compared to 6.8% in
1995.  The  percentage  of cash  and  invested  assets  invested  in  tax-exempt
securities was 21.3% and 41.7% in 1996 and 1995, respectively.

         Other income less other  expenses  resulted in income of $.1 million in
1996 and expense of $.3 million in 1995.  The increase in income in 1996 was due
primarily to a reduction in corporate expenses.

         Interest expense remained constant at $3.6 million in 1996 and 1995.

         Federal  income taxes  decreased $1.1 million from $2.6 million in 1995
to $1.5 million in 1996.  The effective tax rate increased from 27.2% in 1995 to
30.1% in 1996 due primarily to decreased  holdings of  tax-exempt  securities in
1996.  Underwriting  income  is taxed at the  statutory  rate of 35%  while  net
investment  income is taxed at a lower  effective  rate due to the investment in
tax-exempt  securities.   The  Company's  investment  in  tax-exempt  securities
decreased from 41.7% in 1995 to 21.3% in 1996 of cash and invested assets.

         Income  before  extraordinary  items  decreased  $3.6 million from $7.0
million in 1995 to $3.4 million in 1996. In addition to the variances  discussed
above, there were pre-tax net realized  investment gains of $2.1 million in 1996
compared to pre-tax net realized investment gains of $.5 million in 1995.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
             Condition and Results of Operations. (continued)

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Sources of Funds.  The Company's  major sources of operating funds have
been and are  expected to continue to be (i)  dividends  from its  subsidiaries,
(ii)  reimbursements  of costs and expenses in  connection  with the  management
agreement among the Company and its  subsidiaries  pursuant to which the Company
provides certain services to such subsidiaries,  (iii) tax sharing payments from
the  operating  subsidiaries  of the Company and (iv)  borrowings  under  credit
facilities. The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return including
its subsidiaries and receives payments pursuant to a tax sharing agreement among
the Company and its  subsidiaries.  Taxes are computed for each  subsidiary  and
paid  to the  Company  as if such  subsidiary  were  filing  a tax  return  on a
stand-alone basis,  thereby providing  additional funds to the Company,  because
the aggregate of such payments generally exceeds taxes to be paid by the Company
on a consolidated basis. The Company's insurance  subsidiaries are limited as to
the amount of  ordinary  dividends  they may pay (see  "Regulation"  below).  In
addition,  in determining the ability of its subsidiaries to pay dividends,  the
Company monitors its subsidiaries'  operating leverage based on the level of net
premiums written to statutory surplus.  Currently, the Company seeks to maintain
its subsidiaries'  ratio of net premiums written to statutory surplus at a level
of approximately 3.0x in accordance with industry standards.  The ratio was 3.0x
for the twelve  months ended March 31, 1996.  The  Company's  subsidiaries  have
begun to retain a higher  percentage  of  earnings  than in 1995 and the Company
will rely more on its other sources for funds generation during 1996.

As of March 31, 1996, Integon Corporation, the parent company, had approximately
$.8  million  of cash and cash  equivalents  that  were  available  for  general
corporate purposes,  including debt service, dividend payments,  working capital
and the Company's Securities  Repurchase Program (as defined below). The Company
believes that the sources of funds available to it are and will be sufficient to
satisfy its needs.

The principal  sources of funds for the Company's  subsidiaries are net premiums
collected,  proceeds from investment  income and from investments that have been
sold, matured or repaid and premium financing revenues.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
             Condition and Results of Operations. (continued)



On a consolidated basis, net cash flows provided by operating activities for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 were $28.4 million and $27.8 million,
respectively.  Based  on  the  Company's  current  financial  plans,  management
believes that its subsidiaries will continue to realize positive cash flows from
their  operating  activities  and that  the  operating  liquidity  needs of such
subsidiaries can be funded exclusively from such cash flow.

     Uses of Funds.  The  Company's  principal  uses of funds are the payment of
corporate  operating  expenses,  taxes, debt service and dividends on Common and
Preferred Stock.

The  principal  uses of funds of the Company's  subsidiaries  are the payment of
claims on insurance  policies,  the payment of operating  expenses,  purchase of
investments, tax sharing payments and dividends to the Company.

The  Company  and its  subsidiaries  have no  material  commitments  for capital
expenditures.

     Securities  Repurchase  Program:  The  Company  and its  subsidiaries  were
authorized  by the Board of Directors on May 13, 1993 to  repurchase up to $50.0
million  of the  Company's  Common  Stock  and 8%  Senior  Notes due 1999 over a
three-year  period.  As of March 31, 1996, a total of 1,567,200 shares of Common
Stock had been repurchased at a total cost of $37.8 million, or an average price
per share of $24.13.

     Financing Activities:  The Company has a committed credit facility of $25.0
million with a domestic bank. The interest rate charged is the London  Interbank
Offering Rate plus 1.0% or the bank's prime rate. The annual  commitment fee for
this facility is .125% of the unused amount and the annual  facility fee is .25%
of the total  amount.  At March 31, 1996,  borrowings  under this  facility were
$18.0 million.  The Company is currently  negotiating  with various banks for an
expanded credit facility.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
             Condition and Results of Operations. (continued)


         Investments.  In accordance with the Company's  investment  policy, the
Company's  investments at March 31, 1996 consisted primarily of investment-grade
securities  (rated  Baa or better by  Moody's  Investor  Services,  Inc.  or the
equivalent).  Consolidated  cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 1996 amounted
to $39.8 million, or 7.6% of total cash and invested assets.

Management has determined  that the entire fixed  maturity  portfolio  should be
classified as "available  for sale".  Fixed  maturity  securities  classified as
"available for sale" are carried at estimated market value. The market value and
amortized  cost of all fixed  maturity  securities at March 31, 1996 were $481.1
million and $482.6 million, respectively.

Management believes that the securities in the Company's investment portfolio at
March 31, 1996 are readily marketable.

         Regulation.  Insurance laws and regulations impose certain restrictions
on the amount of dividends that may be paid by insurance companies.  The maximum
amount of  ordinary  dividends  that a North  Carolina  domiciled  property  and
casualty  insurance  company  may pay at any  point in time  without  regulatory
approval  is the lesser of (a) 10% of the  policyholders'  statutory  surplus of
such property and casualty  insurance company as of the preceding December 31 or
(b) the statutory net income of such property and casualty insurance company for
the  preceding  calendar  year,  less the amount of  dividends  paid  during the
preceding 12 months.  The Company's  insurance  subsidiaries paid  approximately
$4.8 million of ordinary dividends in February 1996.

If the insurance  subsidiaries are not able to pay ordinary  dividends and their
requests for the payment of  extraordinary  dividends  are not  granted,  and if
amounts needed are in excess of the available  funds under the credit  facility,
additional borrowings,  the issuance of additional securities or obtaining other
funds could be necessary to pay debt service,  Common Stock and Preferred  Stock
dividends and other expenses of the Company.
