necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for 
the six month period ended June 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of 
the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1998.  For 
further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and 
footnotes thereto included in the Registrant Company and Subsidiaries' annual 
report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997.

NOTE B--INCOME TAXES

The Company calculates its income tax provision for interim periods by 
estimating its annual effective tax rate and applying this rate to the income 
of the interim period.  The annual effective tax rate for the six months 
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 is approximately 35% and 36% respectively, and 
are due primarily to the effects of tax-exempt income and state income taxes, 
net of federal tax benefit.

NOTE C--UNEARNED PREMIUM and UNCOLLECTED PREMIUM

The majority of the Company's insurance policies expire at December 31 and 
renew on January 1 of each year.  The majority of the unearned premium amount 
at June 30, 1998 represents six months of unearned premium for every active 
policy renewed or newly written with an effective date of January 1, 1998.  
Since most active policies expired on December 31, 1997, there was no 
unearned premium at that date for those expired policies.

Of the total unearned premium balance $6,072,000 at December 31, 1997, the 
majority $5,909,000, is a reserve for the issuance of free reporting 
endorsements for policyholders at death, disability or retirement.  That same 
amount is also included in the unearned premium balance at June 30, 1998.

The increase in uncollected premium from December 31, 1997 to June 30, 1998, 
$13,823,000, is due to the renewal of most active policies on January 1.  The 
full year's premium is recorded as written and collectible at January 1.  
Premiums may be paid annually or quarterly. The majority of each year's 
premium is collected during the year with a small, uncollected balance 
remaining at year end.

Item 2. -
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

The majority of the Company's assets, 85%, continue to be invested in bonds, 
equities and short-term instruments.  The Company has adopted Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115 "Accounting for Certain 
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." The Company's investments in debt 
and equity securities are classified as available for sale and therefore 
carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of applicable 
taxes, reflected as a separate component of equity. Other investments are 
equity interests in non-traded real estate investment trusts and are recorded 
at cost which approximates fair value.

The investment portfolio was re-allocated in early January 1998 with 
$15,000,000 of long-term bonds transferred into international equities. This 
is in conjunction with investment guideline goals to maximize total return. 
No additional changes to the portfolio are anticipated during 1998.

The retrospective premium liabilities of $1,832,000 at June 30, 1998 
represent amounts due to Iowa policyholders under terms of the Midwest 
Medical Insurance Company/Iowa Physicians Mutual Insurance Trust (MMIC/IPMIT) 
July 1, 1993 merger agreement. That agreement provides if financial results 
for years prior to 1993 are more favorable than expected, the favorable 
development must be returned to former IPMIT policyholders who were insured 
by IPMIT on December 31, 1992 and who renew their coverage with MMIC. The 
$9,905,000 retrospective premium liability at December 31, 1997 included 
$4,905,000 for those former IPMIT policyholders and $5,000,000 liability to 
Minnesota policyholders under a retrospective premium rating plan. In March 
of 1998, the $5,000,000 Minnesota retrospective premium liability and 
$3,100,000 of the Iowa merger agreement liability were paid to policyholders.

Other liabilities at December 31, 1997 include $5,723,000 of premiums 
received by the Company in advance of the January 1, 1998 policy effective 
date. These premiums were then subsequently recognized as written in 1998 and 
are earned ratably over the policy year. The Company had no advance premium 
liability at June 30, 1998.

Cash flow from operations was negative during the first six months of both 
1998 and 1997, $8,374,000 and $2,286,000 respectively. The primary reason for 
the negative cash flows was the payment, in March of both years, of the 
retrospective premium credit to Minnesota policyholders and the premium 
credit to Iowa policyholders under terms of the MMIC/IPMIT merger agreement. 
These payments totaled $8,100,000 in 1998 and $7,103,000 in 1997. The 
negative cash flow is greater for the first six months of 1998 than 1997 due 
primarily to payments made to reinsurers totaling $2,479,000 to settle or 
adjust prior years' reinsurance agreements and additional expenses of 
approximately $962,000 associated with the formation of a non-insurance 
subsidiary at the beginning of 1998. Expenses for the non-insurance 
subsidiary grew in the second quarter of 1998 to bring it into operation; 
expenses for the remainder of 1998 are expected to moderate.

Net income for the first six months of 1998 and 1997 was $4,248,000 and 
$2,343,000 respectively.  These amounts were added to the Company's retained 
earnings.

Total equity consisting of redeemable stock and other shareholder's equity, 
increased by $10,114,000 during the first six months of 1998. Increases for 
net income of $4,248,000 and for appreciation in the fair value of 
investments, net of deferred taxes, of $6,036,000, were offset by Class A 
stock redemptions in excess of Class A stock issuances of $170,000.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net earned premiums increased $640,000 over the same period of 1997 primarily 
as a result of new business generated from sales of large account 
self-insured retention (SIR) policies totaling $1,163,000. Base rate levels, 
with the exception of a 10% increase in Iowa, remained flat. As a result of a 
soft reinsurance market and excellent historical loss experience, a new 
reinsurance contract was negotiated effective January 1, 1998 which reduced 
reinsurance ceded from $1,800,000 to $1,350,000 for each respective quarter. 
These savings will continue to be recognized throughout the term of the 
contract, which expires December 31, 2000. Offsetting the above increases in 
net earned premiums were payments made in the second quarter of 1998 to 
reinsurers totaling $2,479,000 to settle or adjust prior years' reinsurance 
agreements. A portion of these payments could ultimately be returned to the 
Company depending on the actual claims experience on the underlying agreement.

Capital gains of $4,197,000 were realized during the first six months of 
1998. The portfolio is managed on a total return basis by professional 
investment managers under guidelines set by the Company's investment 
committee. These gains were realized in the normal course of managing the 
portfolio and are the major component of the increase in net income over 
1997. Management has no estimate for future levels of capital gains realized.

Losses and loss adjusting expenses were flat for the first six months of 1998 
versus 1997 and were down $1,056,000 for the second quarter of 1998 compared 
to 1997. The decrease in the second quarter was the result of favorable paid 
claims experience relative to prior claim reserve levels. Until an actuarial 
analysis is completed at year-end 1998, management does not attempt to 
analyze the effects of calendar year frequency and severity statistics. In 
lieu of the actuarial analysis, an estimate for losses is based on a ratio of 
net earned premiums that was developed in the rate making process. No 
discernable loss trends were observed on a case by case basis.

Other underwriting expenses increased $2,140,000 for the first six months of 
1998 compared to 1997. The majority of the increase is due to the formation 
of a non-insurance subsidiary, additional staff, and the implementation of a 
new insurance company operating system. Expenses are expected to flatten 
during the second half of the year.
