ITEM 2  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OF OPERATIONS
- --------------

                         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
                         -------------------------------

The Company generally experiences positive cash flow from operations resulting
from the fact that premiums are collected on insurance policies in advance of
the disbursement of funds in payment of claims.  Operating costs of the
property/casualty insurance subsidiaries, other than loss and loss expense
payments and commissions paid to related agency companies, generally average
between 25% and 35% of premiums earned and the remaining amount is available for
investment for varying periods of time pending the settlement of claims relating
to the insurance coverage provided.  The Company's cash flows relating to
premiums are significantly affected by reinsurance programs in effect from time-
to-time whereby the Company cedes both premium and risk to other insurance and
reinsurance companies.  These programs vary significantly among products and
overall premium ceded rates, net of ceding commission allowances, have increased
slightly over the past two years as premium volume in the Company's large fleet
trucking division have increased relative to other products.  The average ceding
rate on large fleet trucking liability business had decreased since 2000 as
Protective has retained more risk but still is substantially higher than the
ceding rate on other products.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2002,
the Company experienced positive cash flow from operations totaling $16.8
million and compares to positive cash flow of $11.5 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2001.  The increase in cash flows compared to the 2001
period is due primarily to an increase in net premium receipts due to rate
increases and new business.  Cash flow for the third quarter was impacted by
large annual deposits paid in connection with the renewal of the Company's fleet
trucking reinsurance program and by the settlement of large claims which were
heavily covered by reinsurance.  Approximately $9 million of reinsurance
recoveries were made on third quarter claim payments in October, 2002.

For several years, the Company's investment philosophy has emphasized the
purchase of relatively short-term instruments with maximum quality and
liquidity.  The average life of the Company's fixed income (bond and short-term
investment) portfolio was approximately 2.5 years at September 30, 2002.

The Company's assets at September 30, 2002 included $42.2 million in investments
classified as short-term or cash equivalents which were readily convertible to
cash without significant market penalty.  An additional $62.6 million of fixed
maturity investments will mature within the twelve month period following
September 30, 2002.   The Company believes that these liquid investments are
more than sufficient to provide for projected claim payments and operating cost
demands.

Consolidated shareholders' equity is composed essentially of GAAP shareholder's
equity of the insurance subsidiaries.  As such, there are statutory restrictions
on the transfer of portions of this equity to the parent holding company. At
September 30, 2002, $39.2 million may be transferred by dividend or loan to the
parent company without approval by, or notification to, regulatory authorities.
An additional $180.3 million of shareholder's equity of the insurance
subsidiaries may be advanced or loaned to the parent holding company with prior
notification to, and approval from, regulatory authorities.  The Company
believes that these restrictions pose no material liquidity concerns to the
Company.  The financial strength and stability of the subsidiaries would permit
ready access by the parent company to short-term and long-term

sources of credit.  The Company has borrowed $10 million under bank lines of
credit in connection with recent purchases of treasury stock.  Interest expense
related to these borrowings is included in corporate expenses and is not
material.  In addition, the parent company had cash and marketable securities
valued at $31.5 million at September 30, 2002.


                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                              ---------------------

            COMPARISONS OF THIRD QUARTER, 2002 TO THIRD QUARTER, 2001
            ---------------------------------------------------------

Net premiums earned during the third quarter of 2002 increased $6.4 million
(31%) as compared to the same period of 2001.  The increase is due primarily to
a 59% increase in premiums from the Company's large fleet trucking program as a
tightening market has allowed for rate increases as well as the addition of new
accounts since the first nine months of 2001.  In addition, premiums from the
Company's voluntary reinsurance assumed program increased 143% as improved
pricing in the catastrophe reinsurance market has resulted in the Company
entering several new treaties in 2002.  Also, premiums from the Company's small
business workers' compensation and private passenger automobile programs
increased 19% and 2%, respectively, due to rate increases and continued
geographic expansion.  Net premiums from the Company's small fleet trucking
program decreased 18% reflecting the intense competition in this market segment.
The decline in premium from this division reflects the Company's philosophy that
allows business to be lost rather than lowering prices to meet unrealistic
competition.

Net investment income during the third quarter of 2002 was 15% lower than the
third quarter of 2001 due primarily to the continued decline in investment
yields.  The short-term nature of the Company's fixed income investment
portfolio has been negatively impacted by the numerous interest rate reductions
by the Federal Reserve Board since January 1, 2001.  Pre-tax yields dropped
nearly a full percentage point from the prior year quarter.  After tax yields
posted a similar decline.

The third quarter 2002 net realized loss of $5.0 million consisted of net losses
on equity securities and fixed maturity investments of $4.1 million and $1.0
million, respectively.  Those losses were offset partially by net gains of $.1
from other investment categories.

Losses and loss expenses incurred during the third quarter of 2002 decreased
$18.0 million from that experienced during the third quarter of 2001.  The 2001
quarter included $20.0 million in losses sustained from the Company's
participation in certain catastrophe reinsurance treaties affected by the
attacks on the World Trade Center.  Adjusted for the World Trade Center loss,
the higher current period losses are reflective of the increased premium volume
in the Company's large fleet trucking business.  Loss ratios for each of the
Company's major product lines were as follows:


                                             2002         2001
                                          ----------   ----------
     Large and medium fleet trucking         64.4%        78.8%
     Private passenger automobile            63.8         66.4
     Voluntary reinsurance assumed           70.8      2,184.4
     Small fleet trucking                    44.3         78.8
     All lines                               64.3        171.5
     All lines without WTC                   64.3         74.7


 9

 10

The decrease in loss ratios, with the exception of voluntary reinsurance
assumed, is due primarily to increased premium adequacy reflective of recent
across-the-board rate increases.

Other operating expenses for the third quarter of 2002 increased 13% from the
third quarter of 2001, and, after consideration of ceding allowances, is
consistent with the 31% increase in
premiums earned from the 2001 quarter.  The Company cedes a large portion of its
direct premiums to reinsurers and these reinsurance premiums carry significant
expense offsets.  Total ceding allowances totaled $4.6 million for the 2002
quarter compared to $3.5 million for the 2001 quarter.  The ratio of
consolidated other operating expenses to operating revenue was 17.1% during the
third quarter of 2002 compared to 18.7% for the 2001 third quarter.

The effective federal tax rate for consolidated operations for the third quarter
of 2002 was 29.8% and differs from the statutory rate primarily because of tax
exempt investment income.

As a result of the factors mentioned above, net income increased $10.0 million
during the second quarter of 2002 as compared with the 2001 second quarter.
After adjusting net income for the third quarter of 2001 for the World Trade
Center disaster, and removing realized capital transactions, net income
increased approximately $2.8 million in the 2002 quarter.


             COMPARISONS OF NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 TO
             ------------------------------------------------------
                      NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001
                      ------------------------------------

Net premiums earned increased $13.3 million (22%) during the first nine months
of 2002 as compared to the same period of 2001.  The increased premium volume is
primarily attributable to a 57% increase in the Company's fleet trucking product
for the same reasons mentioned in the quarterly comparison.  Premiums from the
voluntary reinsurance assumed and small business workers' compensation programs
also increased 30% and 24%, respectively.  These increases were partially offset
by decreases in small fleet  and private passenger automobile premiums of 7% and
5%, respectively, resulting from substantial rate increases implemented by these
divisions in 2001 and 2002.

Net investment income during the first nine months of 2002 was 15% lower than
the 2001 period for the same reasons as indicated in the quarterly comparison.
Overall pre-tax and after tax yields were lower during the current period
consistent with the change in net investment income.

The net realized loss on investments of $4.9 million for the first nine months
of 2002 consists of net losses on equity securities and fixed maturity
investments of $4.2 million and $.7 million, respectively.

Losses and loss expenses incurred during the first nine months of 2002 decreased
$17.7 million from the 2001 period.  The 2001 period included $20.0 million in
losses sustained from the Company's participation in certain catastrophe
reinsurance treaties affected by the attacks on the World Trade Center.
Adjusted for the World Trade Center loss, the higher current period losses are
reflective of the increased premium volume in the Company's large fleet trucking
business.

Loss and loss expense ratios for the comparative nine-month periods were as
follows:

                                             2002         2001
                                          ----------   ----------
     Fleet trucking                           67.6%       78.5%
     Private passenger automobile             64.1        71.3
     Voluntary reinsurance assumed            64.7       533.7
     Small fleet trucking                     50.0        75.7
     All lines                                64.8       107.8
     All lines without WTC                    64.8        75.1


Other operating expenses increased only $.1 million (.4%) during the first nine
months of 2002 compared to the same period of 2001 because the majority of the
Company's operating expenses do not vary proportionately with premium volume.
Total expenses, before consideration of ceding commission allowances, increased
11% while direct premium written and assumed was up 38%.  Ceding commission
allowances included in net expenses were $12.3 million for the 2002 period
compared to $9.4 million in the prior year period.  The ratio of other operating
expenses to operating revenue was 18.9% for 2002 compared to 21.8% for 2001.

The effective federal tax rate for consolidated operations for the first nine
months of 2002 was a 32.2% and differs from the statutory rate due to tax exempt
investment income.

As a result of the factors mentioned above net income increased $10.6 million
during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared with 2001 period.
After adjusting net income for the 2001 period for the World Trade Center
disaster, and removing realized capital transactions, net income increased
approximately $5.7 million in the 2002 period.
