             Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

                                  (Unaudited)

(1)   GENERAL INFORMATION

      HCC Insurance Holdings, Inc. ("the Company" or "HCCH") and its 
      subsidiaries include domestic and foreign property and casualty insurance
      companies and managing general underwriters, surplus lines insurance
      brokers and wholesale insurance and reinsurance brokers. The Company,
      through its subsidiaries, provides specialized property, casualty,
      accident and health insurance, underwritten on both a direct and
      reinsurance basis, and insurance agency services.

      BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
      prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and
      include all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary
      for fair presentation of the results of the interim periods. All
      adjustments made to the interim periods are of a normal recurring nature.
      The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
      the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant
      intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The condensed
      consolidated financial statements for periods reported should be read in
      conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and notes
      related thereto. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December
      31, 1996, and the statement of shareholders' equity for the year then
      ended were derived from audited financial statements, but do not include
      all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. The
      combination with AVEMCO Corporation ("AVEMCO") was accounted for as a
      pooling-of-interests. The Company's condensed consolidated financial
      statements have been restated to include the accounts and operations of
      AVEMCO for all periods presented (see prior period adjustment below and
      note 3).

      INCOME TAX

      For the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, the income tax
      provision has been calculated based on an estimated effective tax rate for
      each of the fiscal years. The difference between the Company's effective
      tax rate and the Federal statutory rate is primarily the result of
      nontaxable municipal bond interest included in pretax income. In addition,
      during 1996, prior to its merger with the Company, LDG Management Company
      Incorporated ("LDG") was an S Corporation and thus exempt from Federal
      income tax until May 21, 1996.

(1)   GENERAL INFORMATION, CONTINUED

      EARNINGS PER SHARE

      Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common and
      common equivalent shares outstanding during the period divided into net
      earnings. Weighted average shares outstanding have been adjusted to
      include shares and options issued in connection with the combination of
      AVEMCO. Outstanding common stock options, when dilutive, are considered to
      be common stock equivalents for the purpose of this calculation. The
      treasury stock method is used to calculate common stock equivalents due to
      options.

      PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENTS OF AVEMCO

      The 1996 and prior financial statements of AVEMCO, which was acquired in
      1997 in a transaction accounted for as a pooling-of-interests (see note
      3), have been restated prior to their inclusion in the Company's
      historical consolidated financial statements to reflect certain prior 
      period adjustments discovered in 1997. The adjustments relate to a
      restatement of the method of accounting for certain short-duration
      insurance contracts and to the correction of accounting errors. The
      adjustments had the following effects with respect to amounts previously
      reported in AVEMCO's 1996 and prior consolidated financial statements.

      EFFECTS ON RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

      In February, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128 "Earnings per
      Share". SFAS No. 128 is effective for fiscal periods ending after December
      15, 1997. Early application is not permitted. SFAS No. 128 modifies the
      denominator to be used in the earnings per share calculations, and
      requires additional disclosures of the calculations. The statement will
      have no effect on the Company's net earnings, shareholders' equity or cash
      flows and an insignificant effect on earnings per share.

      In June, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
      130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income" and SFAS No. 131 "Disclosures about
      Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information". Both statements are
      effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. These SFAS's
      require that additional information be included in a complete set of
      financial statements, but will have no effect on the Company's net
      earnings, shareholders' equity or cash flows.

(1)   GENERAL INFORMATION, CONTINUED

      RECLASSIFICATIONS

      Certain amounts in the 1996 condensed consolidated financial statements 
      have been reclassified to conform to the 1997 presentation.  Such 
      reclassifications had no effect on the Company's net earnings, 
      shareholders' equity, or cash flows.

(2)   REINSURANCE

      In the normal course of business the Company's insurance company
      subsidiaries cede a substantial portion of their premium to unrelated
      domestic and foreign reinsurers through quota share, surplus, excess of
      loss and facultative reinsurance agreements. Although the ceding of
      reinsurance does not discharge the primary insurer from liability to its
      policyholder, the subsidiaries participate in such agreements for the
      purpose of limiting their loss exposure and diversifying their business.
      Substantially all of the reinsurance assumed by the Company's insurance
      company subsidiaries was underwritten directly by the Company but issued
      by other unrelated companies in order to satisfy licensing or other
      requirements. The following tables represent the effect of such
      reinsurance transactions on net premium and loss and loss adjustment
      expense:

</TABLE>

      The insurance company subsidiaries require reinsurers not authorized by
      their respective states of domicile to collateralize their reinsurance
      obligations to the Company with letters of credit or cash deposits. At
      September 30, 1997, the Company held letters of credit and cash deposits
      in the amounts of $85.7 million and $8.2 million, respectively, to
      collateralize certain reinsurance balances. The Company has established a
      reserve of $2.5 million as of September 30, 1997, to reduce the effects of
      any recoverable problems. In order to minimize its exposure to reinsurance
      credit risk, the Company evaluates the financial condition of its
      reinsurers and places its reinsurance with a diverse group of financially
      sound companies.

(3)   ACQUISITIONS

      TRM

      assets acquired (goodwill) of approximately $13.5 million was recorded
      from this acquisition. Goodwill is being amortized over twenty years. The
      results of operations of TRM for the periods prior to the acquisition are
      immaterial to the Company's consolidated results of operations.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The Company completed the acquisition of Interworld Corporation on April 30, 
1997 (pooling-of-interests), of AVEMCO Corporation on June 17, 1997  
(pooling-of-interests), of Managed Group  Underwriting, Inc. on June 26, 
1997 (purchase), of Continental Aviation Underwriters, Inc. on July 31, 1997 
(purchase) and of Southern Aviation Insurance Underwriters, Inc. and Aviation 
Claims Administrators, Inc. on August 8, 1997 (poolings-of-interests).

Amounts in Management's Discussion and Analysis for 1996 have been restated for
prior period adjustments to AVEMCO's financial statements as discussed in note 1
to the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 VERSUS THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,
1996.

Gross written premium increased 7% to $82.3 million for the third quarter of
1997 from $77.1 million for the same period in 1996. Aviation and accident and
health premium increased during the quarter offset by a reduction in property
and marine business as competition increases. Net written premium for the third
quarter of 1997 decreased to $11.7 million from $39.1 million for the same
period in 1996. The implementation of a significant reinsurance program covering
AVEMCO's business caused a decline of $36 million in net written premium, of
which $17 million was due to a portfolio transfer of inforce policies. However,
accident and health net written premium increased during the third quarter. Net
earned premium decreased to $31.6 million for the third quarter of 1997 compared
to $41.4 million for the same period in 1996 reflecting increased reinsurance,
particularly the new reinsurance program at AVEMCO.

Fee and commission income increased 37% to $17.9 million for the third quarter
of 1997, compared to $13.1 million for the same period in 1996 due to the
increased agency activity in light of recent acquisitions. The Company expects
fee and commission income to continue to increase due to the effects of recent
acquisitions and internal growth. Net investment income increased 31% to $7.7
million for the third quarter of 1997 compared to $5.9 million for the same
period in 1996 reflecting increased cash flow and, therefore, a higher level of
investments.

Net realized investment losses from sales of equity securities were $104,000
during the third quarter of 1997, compared to gains of $1.6 million for the same
period in 1996. During 1996, the Company systematically liquidated the majority
of its equity portfolio. Net realized investment gains from disposition of fixed
income securities were $140,000 during the third quarter of 1997, compared to
losses of $112,000 for the same period in 1996. During the third quarter of
1996, AVEMCO consummated the sale of National Assurance Underwriters, Inc.,
which was a subsidiary of AVEMCO prior to the pooling-of-interests combination.
This sale generated an after tax gain of $2.2 million or $0.05 per share.

Loss and LAE decreased during the third quarter of 1997, to $14.5 million,
reflecting unusually good underwriting results and the effects of increased
ceded reinsurance, particularly the new reinsurance program covering AVEMCO's
business.

Other operating expense increased 2% to $6.7 million for the third quarter of
1997. These expenses reflect increased expenditures required to meet the overall
growth in business. Currency conversion losses amounted to $107,000 for the
third quarter of 1997, compared to losses of $30,000 during the same period in
1996.

Net earnings increased 30% to $17.1 million for the third quarter of 1997 from
$13.2 for the same period in 1996. This increase was principally a result of
higher underwriting profits and increased fee and commission income.

Earnings per share increased 20% to $0.36 for the third quarter of 1997 from
$0.30 for the third quarter of 1996. This reflects the increase in net
earnings, offset by a 6% increase in weighted average shares outstanding due to
shares issued for acquisitions and the exercise of options.

The Company's insurance company subsidiaries' GAAP combined ratio was 62.7% for
the third quarter of 1997, as compared to 93.5% for the same period in 1996,
principally due to reduced loss and LAE.

The Company's book value per share was $7.67 as of September 30, 1997, up from
$7.26 as of June 30, 1997. Earnings added $0.36 per share to book value during
the third quarter of 1997.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 VERSUS NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,
1996.

Gross written premium increased 5% to $267.5 million for the first nine months
of 1997 from $254.6 million for the same period in 1996, due primarily to
increased aviation and accident and health premiums partially offset by
decreased property and marine premium. Net written premium for the first nine
months of 1997 decreased to $108.4 million from $139.3 million for the same
period in 1996, due to the implementation of a significant reinsurance program
covering AVEMCO's business. Net earned premium decreased to $124.4 million for
the first nine months of 1997 compared to $125.6 million for the same period in
1996 reflecting increased reinsurance, particularly the new reinsurance program
at AVEMCO.

Fee and commission income increased 28% to $50.1 million for the first nine
months of 1997, compared to $39.3 million for the same period in 1996 due to the
increased agency activity. The Company expects fee and commission income to
continue to increase due to the effects of recent acquisitions and internal
growth. Net investment income increased 18% to $20.4 million for the first nine
months of 1997 compared to $17.3 million for the same period in 1996 reflecting
increased cash flow and, therefore, a higher level of investments.

Net realized investment losses from sales of equity securities were $154,000
during the first nine months of 1997, compared to gains of $6.8 million for the
same period in 1996. During 1996, the Company systematically liquidated the
majority of its equity portfolio. Net realized investment losses from
disposition of fixed income securities were $104,000 during the first nine
months of 1997, compared to losses of $176,000 for the same period in 1996.
During the third quarter of 1996, AVEMCO consummated the sale of National
Assurance Underwriters, Inc., which was a subsidiary of AVEMCO prior to the
pooling-of-interests combination. This sale generated an after tax gain of $2.2
million or $0.05 per share.

Loss and LAE decreased during the first nine months of 1997, to $70.5 million,
as the Company's GAAP loss ratio decreased to 56.7% from 66.7%, due to the
decrease experienced during the third quarter of 1997.

Other operating expense increased 16% to $22.3 million for the first nine months
of 1997. These expenses reflect increased expenditures required to meet the
overall growth in business. Currency conversion losses amounted to $649,000 for
the first nine months of 1997, compared to losses of $203,000 for the same
period in 1996.

Merger expense represents non-recurring items incurred to consummate the
acquisitions and mergers which are accounted for as poolings-of-interests. The
amounts incurred during the first nine months of 1996 were due to the
combination with LDG and included a compensatory stock grant of $24.0 million to
certain key LDG employees immediately prior to the merger. The amounts incurred
during 1997 were due to the combinations with AVEMCO Corporation, Interworld
Corporation and Southern Aviation Insurance Underwriters, Inc.

Income tax expense was $19.8 million for the first nine months of 1997, compared
to $4.4 million during the first nine months of 1996. The 1996 amount included a
deferred tax benefit of $9.6 million which was recorded in connection with the
compensatory stock grant to certain key LDG employees. Most of the other merger
expenses are not deductible for income tax purposes. Also, as an S Corporation,
LDG was exempt from Federal income taxes through May 21, 1996. Had LDG been
subject to Federal income tax during the period January 1, 1996 to May 21, 1996,
additional income tax expense of $2.3 million would have been recorded for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996.

Net earnings increased 61% to $39.1 million for the first nine months of 1997
from $24.2 million for the same period in 1996. This increase was principally a
result of higher underwriting profits and increased fee and commission income
during 1997, and higher merger expenses during 1996, which included the
non-recurring compensation charge.


                                      17

<PAGE>

Earnings per share increased 53% to $0.84 for the first nine months of 1997 
from $0.55 for the first nine months of 1996. This reflects a 61% increase in 
net earnings, partially offset by a 5% increase in weighted average shares 
outstanding due to shares issued for acquisitions and the exercise of options.

The Company's insurance company subsidiaries' GAAP combined ratio was 76.9% for
the first nine months of 1997, as compared to 88.7% for the same period in 1996.

The Company's book value per share was $7.67 as of September 30, 1997, up 
from $6.72 as of December 31, 1996.  Earnings added $0.84 per share to book 
value during the first nine months of 1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's consolidated cash and investment portfolio increased $57.1 million
or 12% since December 31, 1996, and totaled $535.0 million as of September 30,
1997, of which $137.5 million was cash and short-term investments. Total assets
increased to $1.2 billion as of September 30, 1997, from $964.1 million as of
December 31, 1996. The increase in premium and claims receivables and payables
is due to the growth in agency operations during the year. The increase in
reinsurance balances is primarily due to the new reinsurance program at AVEMCO.

AVEMCO's line of credit has been extended through December 31, 1997.

As the year 2000 approaches, the Company recognizes the need to ensure its
operations will not be adversely impacted by year 2000 computer software
failures. The Company is presently addressing this issue to ensure the
availability and integrity of its financial systems and the reliability of its
operational systems. The Company has established processes for evaluating and
managing the risks and costs associated with this problem. The Company has and
will continue to make certain investments in its software systems and
applications to ensure the Company's systems are year 2000 compliant.
