          2.   Net income per share

               Net income per share for the three and six months ended June
               30, 1996 is based  on the weighted average number  of shares
               outstanding,  adjusted  for  the dilative  effect  of  stock
               options, and is the same on both a primary diluted basis.

          3.   Term note due affiliate

               In 1988, CCS issued  a surplus debenture to KVN  in exchange
               for $3,000,000 which  bore interest at 10 percent per annum.
               Interest and  principal payments were due  quarterly only if
               and   when  CCS's   surplus,  as  defined   below,  exceeded
               $4,000,000 and are limited to an amount equal to one-half of
               the statutory  net income  before dividends and  federal and
               foreign income taxes of CCS during that year.

               In 1992, the  debenture due to KVN from  CCS was assigned to
               CHI.   CHI entered into a  term note agreement  with KVN for
               the  outstanding amount of the debenture, including interest
               arrearage ($4,291,049) at September 30, 1992.  The term note
               is pari passi with the other debts of CHI, bears interest at
               10  percent and  is due on  October 1,  2002.   Interest and
               principal are  due quarterly with minimum  payments equal to
               one half of net earnings  before interest and federal income
               taxes.  Payments for the second five years are due quarterly
               and  are  payable  in  equal installments  to  amortize  the
               remaining  balance over the next 20 quarters.  Each of these
               payments will be  credited first to the accrued interest and
               then to principal.

               Interest arrearage  on these two term notes  at December 31,
               1995  and  June  30,   1996  is  $1,797,804  and  $2,042,748
               respectively,  which is due only if and when the CCS surplus
               funds exceeds $4,000,000.

               The  term note  is subordinate  in right  of payment  to all
               policyholders of CCS.  Surplus funds are defined as funds of
               CCS remaining after deduction of capital, insurance reserves
               and  all other  liabilities, in  accordance with  accounting
               practices prescribed or  permitted by the  Florida Insurance
               Department.<PAGE>

          4.   Notes payable to nonaffiliates

               In  connection  with  the acquisition  of  certain  agencies
               during 1995  (see  Note 10),  the Company  entered into  two
               notes payable with the agencies' previous owners.  One  note
               is  due March  1,  2002 and  bears  interest at  8%  through
               February 28, 2001 and 10% thereafter.  Principal payments of
               $150,000  are  due annually  beginning March  1, 2000.   The
               other is due June  30, 2010 and bears interest at 8% through
               July  31, 1999  and 9%  thereafter.   Principal  payments of
               $40,000 are  due annually for three  years beginning January
               5,  1996  and then  principal  payments  of $7,803  are  due
               monthly beginning July 31, 1999.

          5.   Short-term borrowings

               During  1995,  the  Company  entered  in to  a  margin  loan
               agreement with an investment  firm which enables the Company
               to borrow funds up to a percentage of the Company's invested
               funds.   As of  December 31,  1995, and  June 30, 1996,  the
               Company  had  $406,607 and  $863,801  outstanding  under the
               agreement.  As of December 31, 1995, and  June 30, 1996, the
               Company had  preferred and common stocks with  a fair market
               value  of  $1,160,500 and  $1,862,265  on  account with  the
               investment firm.   The loan is payable on demand and must be
               repaid prior to liquidating the Company's portfolio with the
               investment firm.

          6.   Intangibles

               Intangible  assets  are  stated   at  cost  and  principally
               represent    purchased    customer   accounts,    noncompete
               agreements, purchased contract agreements, and the excess of
               costs  over  the  fair  value  of  identifiable  net  assets
               acquired   (goodwill).      Purchased   customer   accounts,
               noncompete agreements, and purchased contract agreements are
               being amortized  on a  straight-line basis over  the related
               estimated lives and  contract periods, which range from 3 to
               15  years.   The  excess of  costs  over the  fair value  of
               identifiable  net assets  acquired is  being amortized  on a
               straight-line basis  over  15  years.    Purchased  customer
               accounts  are  records  and  files  obtained  from  acquired
               businesses  that contain  information on  insurance policies
               and the related insured parties that  is essential to policy
               renewals.<PAGE>





                              CUMBERLAND HOLDINGS, INC.

                      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


               The carrying  value of goodwill and  other intangible assets
               will  be reviewed if circumstances  suggest that they may be
               impaired.   If  this  review indicates  that the  intangible
               assets will not be recoverable,  as determined based on  the
               undiscounted  cash flows  of  the entity  acquired over  the
               remaining amortization period,  the Company's carrying value
               of the goodwill  will be reduced by  the estimated shortfall
               of cash flows.

          7.   Loss and loss adjustment expenses

               The liability  for unpaid claims including  incurred but not
               reported losses is based on  the estimated ultimate cost  of
               settling the  claim (including the effects  of inflation and
               other societal  and economic factors), using past experience
               adjusted for current trends and any other factors that would
               modify past experience.  These estimates  are subject to the
               effects of trends in loss severity and frequency.   Although
               considerable  variability  is  inherent  in  such estimates,
               management  believes  that the  reserve  for  loss and  loss
               adjustment  expenses  are  adequate.     The  estimates  are
               continually reviewed and adjusted as necessary as experience
               develops or new information becomes known.  Such adjustments
               are  included in  current operations.   A liability  for all
               costs  expected  to  be  incurred  in  connection  with  the
               settlement of  unpaid claims  (claim adjustment  expense) is
               accrued  when the  related  liability for  unpaid claims  is
               accrued.  Claim adjustment expenses include costs associated
               directly  with specific  claims paid  or in  the  process of
               settlement,  such  as  legal  and adjusters'  fees.    Claim
               adjustment expenses also include  other costs that cannot be
               associated with  specific claims  but are related  to claims
               paid or in the process of settlement, such as internal costs
               of the claims function.

               The Company  does not discount  its reserves for  losses and
               loss adjustment  expenses.   The  Company  writes  primarily
               surety contracts which are of short duration.

               The  Company   does  not   consider  investment   income  in
               determining  if  a  premium  deficiency  relating  to  short
               duration contracts exists.

          8.   Unearned premiums

               Unearned premiums are calculated  using the monthly pro rata
               basis.<PAGE>

           9.  Reinsurance

               The Company  assumes and cedes reinsurance  and participates
               in  various pools.    The accompanying  financial statements
               reflect  premiums, benefits  and  settlement  expenses,  and
               deferred policy acquisition costs, net of reinsurance ceded.
               Amounts  recoverable  from  reinsurers  are estimated  in  a
               manner consistent  with the future policy  benefit and claim
               lability  associated with the  reinsured policies.  Accounts
               recoverable from reinsurers are presented as an asset in the
               accompanying consolidated financial statements.

               CCS also cedes  reinsurance from other  insurance companies.
               Reinsurance does not relieve an insurer of its liability  to
               the policyholder for the full amount of the policy, however,
               the reinsurer  is obligated to  the insurer for  the portion
               assumed by such  reinsurer.   Reinsured risks  give rise  to
               liability to CCS  as the insurer only in  the event that the
               reinsurer  is  unable  to  meet  its  obligation  under  the
               reinsurance agreement in force.

          10.  Acquisitions

               Effective   February   28,   1995,  the   Company   acquired
               substantially  all of  the  assets of  The  Surety Group,  a
               Georgia insurance agency specializing in the sales of surety
               bond policies.  The purchase price of $850,000  is comprised
               of  $325,000 paid at  closing, the assumption  of $25,000 of
               capital lease obligations and a $500,000 note to the seller.
               The purchase agreement provides  that the purchase price may
               be  reduced,  but  not  increased,  based  on  the  agency's
               operating   results  during  the  three-year  period  ending
               February  28, 1998.    The  balance  at  June  30,  1996  is
               $415,062.

               Effective July  1, 1995  the Company acquired  substantially
               all  of  the assets  of  Surety  Associates,  Inc., a  South
               Carolina  insurance  agency  specializing in  the  sales  of
               surety  bond  and certain  types  of  property and  casualty
               insurance  policies.   The purchase  price of  $1,330,241 is
               comprised of $180,241 paid at closing, and a $1,150,000 note
               payable to  the seller.   The  balance at  June 30, 1996  is
               $1,110,000.

               Both acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase
               method.   The results of operations of the acquired entities
               have   been  included   in  the   accompanying  consolidated
               statements  of operations  since  their respective  purchase
               date.<PAGE>





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

                           LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


               The capacity of a surety company to underwrite insurance and
          reinsurance  is  based  on   maintaining  liquidity  and  capital
          resources  sufficient to pay  claims and expenses  as they become
          due.  Based on standards established by the National  Association
          of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC)  and promulgated by the Florida
          State  Board  of Insurance,  CCS could  write  premiums up  to an
          amount equal to six times the statutory surplus, or approximately
          $30,000,000 at June 30,  1996.  The primary sources  of liquidity
          for  the  Company  are  funds  generated  from  surety  premiums,
          investment  income, and  proceeds  from sales  and maturities  of
          portfolio investments.  The principal expenditures are payment of
          losses   and  loss   adjustment  expenses,   insurance  operating
          expenses, and commissions.

               At June 30, 1996, the  Company's $12,873,201 of total assets
          calculated based on generally accepted accounting principles were
          distributed  primarily as  follows:   58.7  percent  in cash  and
          investments 20.3 percent in  receivables, 3.5 percent in deferred
          policy  acquisition costs,  15.5 percent  in intangibles  and 2.0
          percent in other assets.

               The  Company  maintains  a  liquid  operating  position  and
          follows investment guidelines that are intended to provide for an
          acceptable  return  on  investment  while  maintaining sufficient
          liquidity to meet its obligations.

               Net cash  (used) in operating activities  was $(218,933) and
          $(1,134,334) for the  six months  ended June 30,  1996 and  1995,
          respectively.   The cash used  in both periods  was primarily the
          results  of  an  increase  in  trade  accounts receivable  and  a
          decrease in policy liabilities and accruals.

               Net  cash provided  by  (used in)  investing activities  was
          $(875,170)  and $(654,008) for the six months ended June 30, 1996
          and  1995, respectively.  The cash used in both periods primarily
          related  to the net  increase in investment  purchases and during
          1995  for the  purchase  of one  of  the two  insurance  agencies
          purchased during 1995.

               The Company  believes that  its  available investments,  its
          short  term  borrowing  availability   and  its  cash  flow  from
          operations  in the future will  be sufficient to  meet its normal
          operating needs in the near term.<PAGE>





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

                                 RESULTS OF OPERATION

                COMPARISON OF SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995


               During the  six  months ended  June  30, 1996,  net  premium
          income totaled  $1,945,926 representing a decrease  of 25 percent
          from that of the same period in 1995 ($2,599,310).   The decrease
          is  due primarily  to  the decrease  in  the amount  of  premiums
          assumed through a pooling agreement.

               During  the six months  ended June 30,  1996, net investment
          income of $236,740 increased by 12 percent from  that of the same
          period in 1995 ($212,120).   The fluctuation of investment income
          is attributed to a  decrease in earnings of $48,300;  an increase
          in investment expenses of $14,100 offset by capital gains  during
          1996 of $51,429 as compared to capital loss of $7,370 during 1995
          for the same period.

             During the  six  months  ended  June 30,  1996,  benefits  and
          claims  expenses remained relatively flat as compared to the same
          period  in 1995.  The ratio of  benefit and claim expenses to net
          premium income increased to 39 percent in 1996 from 28 percent in
          1995.

             During the  six months ended  June 30, 1996,  the amortization
          of deferred  policy acquisition costs decreased  to $878,660 from
          $1,239,767 for the same period in  the preceding year.  The ratio
          of  amortization  of deferred  policy  acquisition  costs to  net
          premium  income for 1996 (45%) decreased from that of 1995 (48%).
          The decrease is  attributed to the  decrease in premiums  assumed
          through a pooling agreement.

             During  the six months ended June 30, 1996, operating expenses
          increased by 32% to $1,551,213 from $1,174,717 for the six months
          ended  June 30,  1995.    This  increase  is  due  to  additional
          marketing expenses associated with  the operation of the agencies
          acquired during 1995.

             Net  interest  expense  increased to  $305,038  in  1996  from
          $218,456 in  1995.  The  increase during 1996 is  due to interest
          payments on the loans in  connection with the agencies  purchased
          in  1995.  Interest expense for affiliated loans are $244,944 and
          $218,456  during  1996 and  1995,  respectively.   1996  interest
          expense attributed to agencies purchased in 1995 is $60,094.

             The Cumberland  Group's effective  tax rate  was 38.5  percent
