                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                      OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
                                   OPERATIONS

REVENUE

   Total revenue  remained  approximately  the same at $3.6 million in the third
quarter of 1995  compared to $3.6  million in 1994,  while total  revenue in the
first nine months of 1995 increased to $10.4 million from $10.3 million in 1994.
While  total  revenue  did not  change in the  third  quarter,  compared  to the
previous year,  the  composition  of revenue  changed.  This change in the third
quarter  revenue  was made up of a  $225,000  decrease  in  premiums,  a $39,000
increase in  investment  income and a $266,000  increase in realized  investment
gains.  The increase in revenue for the first nine months of 1995 was  comprised
of a $321,000 decrease in premiums,  a $166,000  increase in investment  income,
and a $181,000 increase in realized gains.

   Investment  income  increased due to interest rates rising  approximately  1%
over  last  year.  The  carrying  value of funds  available  for  investment  on
September 30, 1995 (which  include cash and  short-term  investments,  bonds and
common and  preferred  stocks)  increased  approximately  $4.3  million from the
balance at the end of 1994 mainly due to the increase in the market value of the
bond and stock portfolio.

   The decrease in insurance  premiums in the third quarter of 1995 was due to a
decrease in accident  and health  premiums of $339,000  offset by an increase in
life  premiums of  $114,000.  In the first nine months of 1995,  the decrease in
insurance  premiums  was due to a decrease  in accident  and health  premiums of
$612,000  offset by an  increase  of $291,000  in life  premiums.  Overall,  the
Company has experienced a decline in accident and health premiums as a result of
management's  decision to diversify the Company's premium base. The increases in
life  premiums in 1995  reflect the movement to a more  diversified  product mix
with  emphasis  on  life  insurance  combined  with  other  supplemental  health
products.

BENEFITS AND EXPENSES

   Insurance benefits and losses incurred have decreased in the third quarter of
1995 to $1.4  million  from  $1.8  million  in  1994,  and they  have  decreased
year-to-date to $4.3 million from $5.6 million, respectively. As a percentage of
premium revenue,  insurance benefits and losses incurred have decreased to 51.1%
in 1995 from 60.0% in 1994  quarter-to-date,  and they have  decreased  to 53.1%
from 65.8%, respectively,  year-to-date.  The decrease in insurance benefits and
losses is due to a decrease in reserves of which  $348,000 was  associated  with
the elimination of a block funeral home business.

   Commission  and  underwriting  expenses  in the  first  nine  months  of 1995
increased  to $5.1  million in 1995 from $4.3  million in 1994.  The reasons for
this were a decrease  in  commissions  of  $21,000,  an  increase of $283,000 of
underwriting  expenses and an increase of $556,000 of  amortization  of deferred
acquisition  costs. The amortization of $556,000 of deferred  acquisition  costs
includes $372,000 of deferred  acquisition costs associated with the elimination
of a block funeral home business.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

   The Company  reported  statutory  income of $677,000 in the third quarter and
$868,000  in the first nine  months of 1995  compared to income of $84,000 and a
loss of $78,000,  respectively,  in 1994.  Increased 1995 statutory  results are
mainly due to lower insurance benefits and losses and a year-to-date tax benefit
of $217,000 compared to last year's provision of $63,000.

   The Company  believes  that  premium  collections,  investment  earnings  and
proceeds from investments will continue to provide  sufficient  sources of funds
to meet its liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future. Approximately 91%
of the investment assets of the Company are in marketable securities that can be
converted into cash, if required;  however, use of such assets by the Company is
limited by state  insurance  regulations.  Dividend  payments by the Company are
limited to accumulated  statutory earnings.  Accumulated statutory earnings were
$6.0 million at September 30, 1995.  The Company paid a $.30 per share  dividend
on May 22, 1995. The total dividend paid totals  $896,000 of which the Company's
parent received approximately $835,000.

   Net cash provided by operating  activities  totaled $595,000 in 1995 compared
to net cash used in  operations  of $1.1  million in 1994.  The increase in cash
from operations is due mainly to lower paid claims and the Company's  receipt of
$152,000 for income taxes in accordance with its Tax Sharing  Agreement with its
parent company, while in the previous year the Company paid its parent $291,000.
Cash and short-term investments decreased from $3.1 million at December 31, 1994
to $2.3  million at  September  30, 1995 due to the cash  dividend  paid.  Total
investments  (excluding  short-term  investments)  increased to $37.2 million at
September  30, 1995  compared to $32.2  million at December  31, 1994 due to the
increase in the market value of the stock and bond portfolio.
