          Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                               (Unaudited)
    
(1)     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
        have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q
        and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by
        generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
        statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
        of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
        presentation have been included.  Operating results for the six months
        ended June 30, 1995, are not necessarily indicative of the results
        that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1995.  These
        statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
        and notes thereto included in the company's annual report to
        shareholders and Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations.
  
        Liquidity and Capital Resources
    
        The company's primary sources of operating funds are insurance premiums,
        investment income, reinsurance recoveries on paid losses, computer
        product sales and other service revenues.  Principal uses of operating
        funds include claim payments to insureds, commissions, and other
        operating expenses.  Overall, these operating activities produced
        positive cash flow of $8.7 million for the first six months of 1995.
        Since the level of operating cash flow is highly effected by premium
        production, paid loss activity, the sale of investment securities, and
        reinsurance recoveries received, operating cash flow can vary
        significantly from period to period.
    
        The company follows investment guidelines, which, in addition to
        providing for an acceptable after-tax return on its investments, are
        structured to preserve capital, maintain sufficient liquidity to meet
        obligations, and retain an ample margin of capital and surplus to assure
        the unimpaired ability to write insurance.  The company's fixed income
        portfolio holdings consist primarily of high investment grade
        securities.  Currently, the largest single portion of the investment
        portfolio is invested in tax-advantaged securities given the company's 
        current tax position.

        In developing its investment strategy, the company establishes a level
        of cash and highly liquid short and intermediate term securities which,
        when combined with expected cash flow, is believed adequate to meet
        anticipated payment obligations.
    
        The company's common stock repurchase program reflects continued
        efforts to effectively manage its capital base and enhance
        shareholder value.  During the first half of 1995, the company
        repurchased 78,600 shares of its common stock at an average cost of
        $17.57 per share.  The Board of Directors' current authorization
        allows the company to repurchase an additional 354,617 shares.
    
        Results of Operations
    
        Net earnings for the second quarter of 1995 were $2.7 million or $.30
        per share compared to $3.5 million or $.39 per share for the similar
        period of 1994.  An increased loss ratio in the aviation business and
        the company's reduced level of participation in a few short-term
        health programs were the principal factors for the reduced level of
        earnings.
    
        Gross premiums written for all lines of business during the 1995
        second quarter were $32.0 million compared to $33.0 million in 1994.
        Aviation gross premiums written in the second quarter were $24.2
        million, versus $22.9 million in the same period of 1994.  The
        company's purchase of the aviation business of Aviation Underwriting
        Specialists (AUS) during the 1995 first quarter principally accounted
        for the growth in aviation premiums.  Gross premiums written on
        non-aviation lines during the second quarter were $7.8 million
        compared to $10.0 million in 1994.  The drop in premium is
        principally due to the company's reduced level of participation in
        one short-term health program, along with the discontinuance of
        another that was not meeting the company's underwriting objectives.
        The company views 1995 as a transitional year in the short-term
        health business.  During the remainder of the year, the company will
        be building participation in certain programs managed by International
        Group Services (IGS), a consolidated subsidiary, acquired in
        December of 1994.
    
        Net investment income for the 1995 second quarter was slightly ahead
        of 1994. Also, in the second quarter of 1995 the company's investment
        portfolio continued to respond well to market conditions.  For the
        first half of 1995, the market value of the investment portfolio
        increased by approximately $4.0 million on an after-tax basis, making
        up a significant portion of the decline experienced throughout much
        of 1994.  Realized investment gains were nominal in the second
        quarter of both years.
    
        Computer product and service revenues for 1995's second quarter
        increased by 35 percent over 1994, reflecting increases in both
        software and hardware revenues.
    
        Net incurred losses for the 1995 second quarter were $14.5 million
        contrasted to $12.7 million in 1994.  The increase was due to
        additional claims activity in the company's aviation business,
        including some large claims which the company did not experience in
        1994.  The aviation loss ratio for the 1995 second quarter was 74.2%
        compared to 1994's 56.2%.  There were no significant weather-related
        events during the 1995 or 1994 second quarters.  The statutory loss
        ratio for all lines of business in the 1995 second quarter was 70.1
        percent versus 57.6 percent for 1994.  Year-to-date, the statutory
        loss ratio was 63.8 percent compared to 56.3 percent for 1994.
    
        The underwriting ratio for the 1995 second quarter was 90.3 percent
        versus 80.9 percent for 1994.  Year-to-date, the underwriting ratio
        was 86.6 percent compared to 83.5 percent for 1994.
    
        Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $8.9 million in
        the 1995 second quarter as compared to $8.4 million for the similar
        period in 1994.  Much of this increase is attributed to the operating
        costs of the AUS aviation and IGS short-term health businesses
        acquired in January 1995 and December 1994, respectively.  Interest
        expense increased to $914,000 million in 1995 from $849,000 in 1994,
        primarily as the result of higher variable interest rates on the
        company's revolving credit facility.
