Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of  Financial  Condition  and Results of
Operations

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 1997 and 1998

Revenues

The following table sets forth the components of the Company's  revenues for the
periods indicated:


                                                   Three Months Ended March 31,
                                                    1997                1998
                                                  -------              -------
Insurance services                               $(33,200)           $1,133,807
Investment services                               531,521               545,479
Other                                               5,465                15,968
                                                 --------            ----------
Total revenues                                   $503,786            $1,695,254

Total  revenues  increased  237% from  $503,786 for the first quarter of 1997 to
$1,695,254  during the first  quarter of 1998.  The increase  resulted  from the
acquisition  in full of Rushmore  Life  Insurance  Company in April  1997.  This
increase  included  $609,890 in insurance  policy income  representing  Rushmore
Life's quota share of policy income under coinsurance agreements and $523,917 in
net investment income.

Expenses

Insurance  Services  expense   components  changed   substantially  due  to  the
consolidation  of Rushmore Life beginning in April 1997. In the first quarter of
1997,  insurance  service  expenses  included  only  the  loss of the  Company's
minority  ownership in Rushmore Life,  accounted for on the equity  method.  The
first three months of 1997 included equity in subsidiary loss, whereas the first
three months of 1998 included the consolidated  operations of Rushmore Life. The
consolidated operations of Rushmore Life include expense categories of benefits,
claims and losses,  representing  claims against policies  coinsured by Rushmore
Life in the amount of $52,748,  amortization  of deferred  acquisition  costs of
$459,106 and other insurance company expenses of $308,974.  Deferred acquisition
costs are recorded for purposes of generally accepted  accounting  principles as
an asset  consisting of the  commissions  and other costs of  underwriting a new
insurance  policy and are amortized  over the life of the policy.  Such payments
are treated as an expense under statutory  accounting  principles  applicable to
insurance companies,  resulting in different earnings patterns. During the first
quarter of 1998 the average  credited  interest rates on  outstanding  universal
life policies was 7.42% as compared to 7.01% for the first quarter of 1997.

                                                                               5


<PAGE>


Investment   services   expenses   increased  13%  from  $525,625  to  $595,823.
Commissions paid as a percentage of commission  revenue  decreased from 88.4% in
1997 to 87.7% in 1998.  Direct  overhead  associated  with  investment  services
increased  86% from $84,761 to $157,321.  This was primarily due to increases in
staff that  resulted in an increase in wages and benefits of $33,459 or 86%. The
addition of staff  necessitated  leasing additional office space resulting in an
increase in office rent of $22,593.  In addition  insurance  expenses  increased
$14,073  or 77% due to the net  premium  on an errors  and  omissions  insurance
policy implemented in 1997 offset by increased  collections from representatives
for their share of such premiums.

General and administrative  expenses increased 101% from $76,233 to $152,933 due
to increases in staff and office space.

Operating income (loss)

The  Company's  operating  income  for the  first  quarter  of 1998 of  $117,670
represents  an  increase of  $230,790  from the loss of  $113,120  for the first
quarter of 1997. The Company's net income applicable to common  shareholders for
the first  quarter of 1998  increased  $214,302  from a net loss of  $144,243 or
$0.10 per share  (basic and  diluted)  to $74,130 or $0.03 per share  (basic and
diluted).  The net  income in 1998 as well as the net loss for 1997  included  a
deduction of $4,071 for preferred  dividends paid. In the first quarter of 1997,
insurance  services expenses included only the loss (or income) of the Company's
minority  ownership in Rushmore Life,  accounted for on the equity  method.  The
first three months of 1997 included equity in subsidiary loss, whereas the first
three months of 1998  included the  consolidated  operations  of Rushmore  Life.
Rushmore Life reported net income of $188,852.

Subsequent event

In April 1998 the Company completed its initial public offering of common stock,
issuing  815,341 shares at a price of $5.50 per share for a total of $4,484,375.
After  deduction of $477,571 in offering  costs,  $4,006,804 was remitted to the
company. Total costs of the offering are expected to be $904,844.
