1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of Medical Assurance, Inc. and its subsidiaries, together referred
to as the Company. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes 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 month period ended June 30, 1998 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 1998. For further information, refer to the December 31, 1997
audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

Medical Assurance, Inc. has 100 million shares of authorized common stock and 50
million shares of authorized preferred stock. The Board of Directors has the
authorization to determine the provisions for the issuance of shares of the
preferred stock, including the number of shares to be issued and the
designations, powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications,
limitations or restrictions of such shares. At June 30, 1998, the Board of
Directors had not authorized the issuance of any preferred stock nor determined
any provisions for the preferred stock.

2. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which establishes standards for the
reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set
of general purpose financial statements. The new rules require that enterprises
classify items of other comprehensive income separately from retained earnings
and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of the balance sheet. Items
of other comprehensive income are displayed in a separate condensed consolidated
statement of changes in capital, and amounts for 1997 are provided for
comparative purposes.

FASB Statement 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information" was issued in June 1997 and is effective for years beginning after
December 15, 1997. This Statement changes the way public companies report
segment information in annual financial statements and requires public companies
to report selected segment information in interim financial reports to
shareholders. Under the Statement's "management approach," public companies are
to report financial and descriptive information about their operating segments.
Operating segments are revenue-producing components of an enterprise for which
separate financial information is produced internally and are subject to
evaluation by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate
resources to segments. Since the statement is not required to be applied to
interim financial statements in the initial year of application, the Company
will evaluate and implement this statement by year end.

3. INVESTMENTS

Proceeds from sales of investments in fixed maturities and equities available
for sale were $117.0 million and $34.3 million for the six months ended June 30,
1998 and 1997, respectively. Gross realized gains on such sales were $2,597,000
and $297,000 at June 30, 1998 and 1997 respectively; gross realized losses on
such sales were $221,000 and $265,000 at June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Realized gains and losses are included as a component of other income. The
amortized cost of fixed maturities and equity securities available for sale was
$659.3 million and $640.1 million at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997,
respectively.

4. RESERVES FOR LOSSES AND LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSES

The reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses represent management's best
estimate of the ultimate cost of all losses incurred but unpaid. Incurred losses
and loss adjustment expenses for the six month periods ending June 30, 1998 and
1997 were principally based on the application of an expected loss ratio to
premiums earned. These loss ratios take into consideration prior loss
experience, loss trends, the Company's loss retention levels, changes in
frequency and severity of claims and rates charged.

The reserves are evaluated at least annually by independent consulting
actuaries. Actual incurred losses may vary from estimated amounts due to the
inherent difficulty in estimating development of long-tailed lines of business.
The estimated liability is continually reviewed and any adjustments which become
necessary are included in current operations. The Company's management believes
that its actual incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses will not
significantly exceed its reported estimated amounts.


5. DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS

Costs that vary with and are directly related to the production of new and
renewal premiums (primarily premium taxes, commissions and underwriting
salaries) are deferred to the extent they are recoverable against unearned
premiums and are amortized as related premiums are earned. Amortization of
deferred acquisition costs amounted to approximately $6.0 million and $6.6
million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

As is common practice within the industry, reinsurance ceding commissions are
deducted from underwriting, acquisition, and insurance expenses and amounted to
$3.6 million and $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.


6. INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense differs from the normal relationship to financial statement
income principally because of tax-exempt interest income.

7. EARNINGS PER SHARE

On December 3, 1997 the Board of Directors declared a 5% stock dividend. Cash
was paid to shareholders for fractional shares. Earnings per share data for 1997
has been restated as if the above dividend had been declared on January 1, 1997.

On August 20, 1997, the Board of Directors declared a two-for-one stock split,
which was effected by transferring the par value of the split shares in the
amount of $10.3 million from additional paid-in capital to common stock.
Earnings per share data for 1997 has been restated as if the stock split had
been declared on January 1, 1997.


8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is involved in various legal actions arising primarily from claims
made under insurance policies; these legal actions have been considered by the
Company in establishing its reserves. While the outcome of all legal actions is
not presently determinable, the Company's management and its legal counsel are
of the opinion that the settlement of these actions will not have a material
adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
