 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

Nine Months Ended  September 30, 1996  ("1996")  Compared with Nine Months Ended
September 30, 1995 ("1995")

         Net premiums  written  increased  32.4% from $458.1  million in 1995 to
$606.4 million in 1996.  Nonstandard  automobile  insurance net premiums written
increased  from  $420.1  million in 1995 to $550.1  million in 1996 or 31.0% due
primarily to growth in the Company's  more mature  operating  states.  Specialty
auto products net premiums  written  increased 100.1% from $18.5 million in 1995
to $37.0  million in 1996.  Premiums  earned on all lines of business  increased
29.9% from $413.1  million in 1995 to $536.8  million in 1996 and  reflects  the
increase in net premiums written referred to above.

         Loss and loss adjustment  expenses  increased 36.5% from $301.8 million
in 1995 to $411.8  million  in 1996.  The loss  ratio,  defined as loss and loss
adjustment expenses as a percentage of premiums earned,  increased from 73.1% in
1995 to 76.7% in 1996 due  primarily  to  severe  winter  weather  in the  first
quarter  and  hurricanes  Fran and  Bertha in the  third  quarter.  The  Company
experienced  an increase in the frequency of claims in 1996 compared to the same
period in 1995 and estimates  that the severe winter  weather and the hurricanes
accounted for approximately $12.0 million of additional loss and loss adjustment
expenses.

         Policy  acquisition  and other  underwriting  expenses  increased $23.0
million from $91.0 million in 1995 to $114.0 million in 1996. The expense ratio,
defined as policy acquisition and other underwriting expenses as a percentage of
premiums earned,  decreased from 22.0% in 1995 to 21.2% in 1996. The decrease in
the expense ratio was due primarily to reductions in commission  rates and state
taxes. In addition,  a management  bonus of $1.8 million,  of which $1.0 million
was allocated to policy

             Condition and Results of Operations.  (continued)

acquisition  and other  underwriting  expenses and $.8 million was  allocated to
loss  adjustment  expenses,  was  reversed  in the third  quarter of 1996 due to
year-to-date financial results not meeting the Company's financial plan.

         Net  investment  income  increased  5.4% from $22.4  million in 1995 to
$23.6  million  in 1996 as a result of the $67.7  million  increase  in  average
invested  assets.  This higher level of invested assets was partially  offset by
lower  yields.  The pre-tax  yield of the portfolio was 6.0% in 1996 compared to
6.4% in 1995. The percentage of cash and invested  assets invested in tax-exempt
securities  was 20.3% and 25.4% in 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  In addition to
the variances  discussed above, there were pre-tax net realized investment gains
of $2.4  million in 1996  compared to pre-tax net realized  investment  gains of
$6.2 million in 1995.

         Other income less other  expenses  resulted in income of $.7 million in
1996 and $2.2  million in 1995.  The  decrease in 1996 income  reflects the fact
that 1995  results  included  $.9  million  of  income  from the sale of a joint
venture. Premium finance income also declined.

         Interest  expense  increased  1.6% from $10.9  million in 1995 to $11.1
million in 1996 due to increased  short-term  borrowings  to pay parent  company
expenses as the insurance subsidiaries retain earnings to fund future growth.

         Federal income taxes  decreased $4.1 million from $11.8 million in 1995
to $7.7 million in 1996 due to lower  pre-tax  earnings.  The effective tax rate
increased  from  31.2%  in 1995 to  31.8% in 1996  due  primarily  to  decreased
holdings  of  tax-exempt   securities  in  1996.  The  Company's  investment  in
tax-exempt securities as a percentage of cash and invested assets decreased from
25.4% in 1995 to 20.3% in 1996.

     Income before extraordinary items decreased $9.5 million from $26.1 million
in 1995 to $16.6 million in 1996.

Three Months Ended September 30, 1996 ("1996")  Compared with Three Months Ended
September 30, 1995 ("1995")

     Net premiums written  increased 31.1% from $163.6 million in 1995 to $214.4
million in 1996. Nonstandard automobile insurance

             Condition and Results of Operations.  (continued)

net premiums written  increased from $150.4 million in 1995 to $194.5 million in
1996 or 29.0% due  primarily to growth in the  Company's  more mature  operating
states.  Specialty auto products net premiums written increased 126.6% from $6.0
million  in 1995 to $13.5  million  in 1996.  Premiums  earned  on all  lines of
business  increased  30.9% from $146.5 million in 1995 to $191.8 million in 1996
and reflects the increase in net premiums written referred to above.

         Loss and loss adjustment  expenses  increased 36.6% from $107.8 million
in 1995 to $147.2  million  in 1996.  The loss  ratio,  defined as loss and loss
adjustment expenses as a percentage of premiums earned,  increased from 73.6% in
1995 to 76.8% in 1996.  The  increase  in the loss  ratio was due  primarily  to
higher  frequency  of claims in 1996 and to  hurricanes  Fran and  Bertha  which
accounted for $2.7 million of additional  loss and loss  adjustment  expenses in
1996.

         Policy  acquisition  and other  underwriting  expenses  increased $10.4
million from $31.6 million in 1995 to $42.0 million in 1996.  The expense ratio,
defined as policy acquisition and other underwriting expenses as a percentage of
premiums earned, increased from 21.6% in 1995 to 21.9% in 1996. This increase in
the  expense  ratio  is  attributable   primarily  to  increased  investment  in
technology,  partially  offset by the reversal of $1.8 million in the management
bonus  accrual,  of which $1.0 million was allocated to policy  acquisition  and
other  underwriting  expenses and $.8 million was  allocated to loss  adjustment
expenses,  due to  year-to-date  financial  results not  meeting  the  Company's
financial plan.

         Net investment  income increased 4.8% from $7.7 million in 1995 to $8.0
million  in 1996 as a  result  of the  $62.1  million  increase  in the  average
invested  assets.  This higher level of invested assets was partially  offset by
lower  yields.  The pre-tax  yield of the portfolio was 5.8% in 1996 compared to
6.1% in 1995. The percentage of cash and invested  assets invested in tax-exempt
securities  was 20.3% and 25.4% in 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  In addition to
the variances  discussed above, there were pre-tax net realized investment gains
of $1.1 million in 1996  compared to pre-tax net realized  gains of $3.2 million
in 1995.

         Other income less other expenses  resulted in an expense of $.1 million
in 1996 and income of $1.1  million in 1995.  The  decrease in other income less
other expenses was due to an increase in corporate  expenses during 1996 and the
1995 realization of $.9 million in income from the sale of a joint venture.

         Interest  expense  increased  3.9%  from $3.6  million  in 1995 to $3.7
million in 1996 due to increased  short-term  borrowings  to pay parent  company
expenses as the insurance subsidiaries retain earnings to fund future growth.

         Federal  income taxes  decreased $2.6 million from $4.8 million in 1995
to $2.2 million in 1996 due to lower  pre-tax  earnings.  The effective tax rate
decreased from 32.7% in 1995 to 31.2% in 1996.

         Income  before  extraordinary  items  decreased  $5.0 million from $9.9
million in 1995 to $4.9 million in 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Sources of Funds.  The Company's  major sources of operating funds have
been (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.  These  sources are expected to be available  for future needs except for
dividends  from the Company's  subsidiaries.  Dividends  will be retained by the
subsidiaries  as  needed  to  fund  future  growth.   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 September 30,
1996.

As  of  September  30,  1996,  Integon  Corporation,  the  parent  company,  had
approximately  $2.4 million of cash and cash equivalents that were available for
general  corporate  purposes,  including  debt  service,  dividend  payments and
working capital. The Company believes that the sources of funds available to it,
including the $75.0 million  committed  credit facility  described in "Financing
Activities" below, are and will be sufficient to satisfy its short-term needs.

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


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.

On a consolidated basis, net cash flows provided by operating activities for the
nine  months  ended  September  30,  1996 and 1995 were $65.4  million and $59.4
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 from such cash flow.
Statements concerning cash flows look forward in time.

The following important factors,  among others, could cause actual cash flows to
differ materially from those set forth in the forward looking statements: claims
frequency,  claims  severity,  severe adverse  weather  conditions,  the cost of
automobile repair,  economic activity,  competitive  pricing, and the regulatory
environment in which the Company operates.

         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.  During the third quarter of 1996, the Company contributed $6.5
million of capital to the  insurance  subsidiaries  to maintain the ratio of net
premium written to statutory surplus at a level of 3.0x.

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.

         Financing  Activities:  In July 1996,  the Company's  committed  credit
facility  was  increased  from  $25.0  million to $75.0  million to reflect  the
increased  size  of the  Company  and  to pay  parent  company  expenses  as the
insurance  subsidiaries retain earnings to fund future growth. The interest rate
charged  on this  credit  facility  is based  on the  bids of the  participating
lenders and in the case of Eurodollar loans a margin percentage ranging from

Page 13
<PAGE>
Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
             Condition and Results of Operations. (continued)

 .55% to .675% is added.  The  facility fee ranges from .20% to .35% of the total
amount of the facility.

         Investments.  In accordance with the Company's  investment  policy, the
Company's   investments   at   September   30,  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 September 30,
1996 amounted to $50.7 million, or 9.2% 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  September  30, 1996 were
$497.9 million and $502.6 million, respectively.

Management believes that the securities in the Company's investment portfolio at
September 30, 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 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.
