Company's annual report for its full statement regarding forward-looking
information.

(3) NET GAINS ON INVESTMENTS: Amounts reported as net gain on investments
consist of three components: (1) net gains or losses realized upon the actual
sale of investments managed directly by the Company's investment managers, (2)
changes in "other-than-temporary impairment" write-downs, and (3) equity in
earnings or losses of investments in limited partnerships.

The Company accounts for investments in limited partnerships using the equity
method of accounting, which requires an investor in a limited partnership to
record its proportionate share of the limited partnership's net income. To the
extent that the limited partnership investees include both realized and
unrealized investment gains or losses in the determination of net income or
loss, then the Company would also recognize, through its income statement, its
proportionate share of the investee's unrealized as well as realized investment
gains or losses. The Company invests in limited partnerships that include both
realized and unrealized investment gains or losses in the determination of their
net income. Readers are cautioned that inclusion of such unrealized gains is not
consistent with the recognition of temporary valuation changes of equity and
debt securities that are directly owned and held for sale and may result in
significant fluctuations in quarterly amounts reported under this caption. In
addition, because of inherent time lags in receiving valuation reports from
certain limited partnership investees, the Company must often rely on
estimations of valuation changes for the most recent month or quarter ended on
the reporting date. To the extent that the actual valuations subsequently
reported differ from estimates utilized, the differences are included in gains
or losses from investments in the quarter reported to the Company.

Following is a summary of the components of net gains on investments for the
periods presented in the accompanying statements of income.

The net gains from limited partnerships for the first quarter of 2006 include an
estimated $3.9 million of unrealized gains as reported in the net income of the
various limited partnerships. Shareholders' equity at March 31, 2006 includes
approximately $12.1 million, net of deferred federal income taxes, of earnings
yet undistributed by limited partnerships.

(4) REINSURANCE: The following table summarizes the Company's transactions with
reinsurers for the 2006 and 2005 comparative periods.

(5) COMPREHENSIVE INCOME OR LOSS: The Company refers to comprehensive income or
loss as realized and unrealized income or loss which is composed of net income
or loss and changes in unrealized gains or losses on investments for the periods
presented. Total realized and unrealized income for the quarter ended March 31,
2006 was $14,735 and compares to total realized and unrealized income of $3,215
for the quarter ended March 31, 2005.

(6) REPORTABLE SEGMENTS - PROFIT AND LOSS: The following table provides certain
profit and loss information for each reportable segment. All amounts presented
are computed based upon generally accepted accounting principles. In addition,
segment profit for fleet trucking includes the direct marketing agency
operations conducted by the parent company and is computed after elimination of
inter-company commissions and, accordingly, segment profit presented here will
not agree with statutory underwriting gains for this segment which may be quoted
elsewhere in the Company's financial statements.

(8) LOANS TO EMPLOYEES: In 2000, 2001 and 2002 the Company provided loans to
certain key employees for the sole purpose of purchasing the Company's Class B
common stock in the open market. $7,260 of such full-recourse loans were issued
and $2,263 remain outstanding at March 31, 2006 and carry interest rates of
between 4.75% and 6%, payable annually on the loan anniversary date. The
underlying securities serve as collateral for these loans, which must be repaid
no later than 10 years from the date of issue. No additional loans will be made
under this program.

(9) NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS: The Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R on January 1, 2006. During 2004, the
Company adopted the modified prospective transition method as described in SFAS
148 and included in SFAS 123R. Under the modified prospective transition method,
fair value accounting and recognition provisions of SFAS 123R are applied to
share-based awards granted or modified subsequent to the date of adoption and
prior periods presented are not restated. In addition, for awards granted prior
to the effective date, the unvested portion of the awards are recognized in
periods subsequent to the adoption based on the grant date fair value determined
for pro forma disclosure purposes under SFAS 123. There was no significant
impact on the Company's financial statements resulting from the adoption of SFAS
123R.

See Note J to the consolidated financial statements in the Company's most recent
annual report on Form 10-K at December 31, 2005 for more detailed information
regarding share-based compensation.

In November, 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB
Staff Position ("FSP") FAS Nos. 115-1 and FAS 124-1, THE MEANING OF
OTHER-THAN-TEMPORARY IMPAIRMENT AND ITS APPLICATION TO CERTAIN INVESTMENTS,
which provides guidance on when an

investment is considered impaired, whether that impairment is
other-than-temporary, how to measure the impairment loss and disclosures related
to impaired securities. The FSP is effective for reporting periods subsequent to
December 15, 2005. Management believes that our current analysis of impaired
investments is consistent with the provisions of this FSP and that its adoption,
effective January 1, 2006, is not expected to have a significant impact on the
Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

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
less than 30% 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 flow relating to premiums
is 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 generally
decreased since 2001, as Protective Insurance Company has accepted more net risk
under the terms of annual reinsurance treaty renewals. For the three months
ended March 31, 2006, the Company experienced positive cash flow from operations
totaling $12.8 million and compares to positive cash flow of $9.0 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2005. The increase in cash flow is due largely
to a decrease in net losses paid when compared to the first three months of
2005. Operating expenses paid also increased $2.4 million when compared to the
first quarter of 2005 reflecting the continued decline in ceding commission
allowances from reinsurers under current agreements.

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 increased marginally during the first quarter as fixed
income investments increased by approximately $55 million, including $39 million
transferred from short term investments.

The Company's assets at March 31, 2006 included $84.0 million in investments
classified as cash or cash equivalents that were readily convertible to cash
without significant market penalty. An additional $192.5 million of fixed
maturity investments will mature within the twelve-month period following March
31, 2006. The Company believes that these liquid investments are more than
sufficient to provide for projected claim payments and operating cost demands
even before consideration of current positive cash flows.

Consolidated shareholders' equity is composed largely 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
March 31, 2006, $48.2 million may be transferred by dividend or loan to the
parent company during 2006 without approval by, or prior notification to,
regulatory authorities. An additional $232.7 million of shareholder's equity of
the insurance subsidiaries could, theoretically, be advanced or loaned to the
parent holding company with prior notification to, and approval from, regulatory
authorities, although it is unlikely that transfers of this size would be
practical. 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 parent company had cash and marketable
securities valued at $31.7 million at March 31, 2006.

The Company's annualized premium writing to surplus ratio for the first quarter
of 2006 was approximately 46%. Regulatory guidelines generally allow for
writings of at least 200% of surplus. Accordingly, the Company could increase
premium writings significantly with no need to raise additional capital.
Further, the Insurance Subsidiaries' individual capital levels are

 10

several times higher than the minimum amounts designated by the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners.

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

            COMPARISONS OF FIRST QUARTER, 2006 TO FIRST QUARTER, 2005
            ---------------------------------------------------------

Net premiums earned during the first quarter of 2006 decreased $3.4 million (7%)
as compared to the same period of 2005. The decrease is due primarily to
decreases in premiums from the Company's fleet trucking and private passenger
automobile programs of 10% and 8%, respectively, resulting from competitive
pressures. In addition, the discontinuance of the Company's small business
workers' compensation product late in 2004 contributed $1.2 million to the
overall decline in premiums for the current quarter. Partially offsetting this
decrease were increases in premiums from the Company's reinsurance assumed and
small fleet trucking programs of 35% and 27%, respectively, reflecting improved
pricing in both markets.

Direct premiums written and assumed decreased to $58.9 million from $64.6
million reported a year earlier. As noted in the previous paragraph, this
decrease was due primarily to decreases in fleet trucking and private passenger
automobile premiums and was partially offset by increases in premium writings
from the Company's small fleet trucking and reinsurance assumed products.
Premium ceded to reinsurers averaged 13.7% of direct premium production for the
current quarter compared to 21.9% a year earlier.

Net investment income, before tax, during the first quarter of 2006 was 38%
higher than the first quarter of 2005 due to increases in both average invested
assets and in yields on bonds and short-term investments. Pre-tax yields on
short-term investments nearly doubled from the prior year period. Overall after
tax yields posted similar increases.

The first quarter 2006 net investment gain of $7.0 million consisted primarily
of equity in earnings of limited partnership investments and gains on sales of
equity securities of $4.7 million and $2.1 million, respectively. The limited
partnerships in which the Company holds ownership interests invest in a broad
range of publicly traded and privately held equity and debt securities, both
domestic and foreign, as well as real estate and other business ventures. The
earnings or losses reported by the limited partnerships may be subject to
significant volatility. Readers are cautioned that the recording of the
Company's proportionate share of the limited partnership's earnings or losses
may result in significant fluctuations in the quarterly amounts reported under
this caption. See footnote 3 to the enclosed financial statements for a more
detailed discussion regarding the accounting policies and the net gains reported
for the Company's investments in limited partnerships.

Losses and loss expenses incurred during the first quarter of 2006 decreased
$2.7 million from that experienced during the first quarter of 2005, which is
consistent with the decrease in premium volume previously discussed. Loss ratios
for each of the Company's major product lines were as follows:

Other operating expenses for the first quarter of 2006 increased $1.1 million,
or 12%, from the first quarter of 2005. This increase was entirely attributable
to the loss of ceding commission income associated with reinsurance treaty
changes effective in June, 2005. Adjusted for ceding allowances, operating
expenses decreased 10% from the first quarter of 2005, including the impact of a
recovery of $.9 million of previously written off reinsurance from bankrupt
companies. Without this recovery, operating expenses decreased 3% before
consideration of ceding commissions. Ceding allowances totaled $.7 million for
the 2006 quarter compared to $3.1 million for the 2005 quarter. The ratio of
consolidated other operating expenses to operating revenue was 21.7% during the
first quarter of 2006 compared to 18.6% for the 2005 first quarter, with the
loss of ceding commission comprising 4.6 points of this change.

The effective federal tax rate for consolidated operations for the first quarter
of 2006 was 31.7% and is less than the statutory rate primarily because of tax
exempt investment income.

As a result of the factors mentioned above, net income increased $1.2 million
(11.7%) during the first quarter of 2006 as compared with the 2005 first
quarter.

                          CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
                          ----------------------------

There have been no changes in the Company's critical accounting policies as
disclosed in the Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 2005.

                          CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
                          -----------------------------

The insurance subsidiaries cede portions of their gross premiums to numerous
reinsurers under quota share and excess of loss treaties as well as facultative
placements. These reinsurers assume commensurate portions of the risk of loss
covered by the contracts. As losses are reported and reserved, portions of the
gross losses attributable to reinsurers are established as receivable assets and
losses incurred are reduced. At March 31, 2006, amounts due from reinsurers on
paid and unpaid losses, including provisions for incurred but not reported
losses, are estimated to total approximately $170 million. Included in this
total are case basis and estimated IBNR losses of approximately $18.5 million
due from Converium Insurance (North America) Inc., $5.7 million due from Quanta
Re., $4.3 million due from PMA Re. and $.7 million from Trenwick Re., each of
which have reported substantial reserve strengthening and/or impairment of
assets which have negatively affected their reported financial positions. All
amounts due from these reinsurers on paid claims are current as of March 31,
2006 and the Company has no information at this time to indicate that all
obligations of these reinsurers will not be met.

 12

At March 31, 2006, limited partnership investments includes approximately $34.8
million consisting of three partnerships which are managed by organizations in
which two of the Company's directors are officers, directors, general partners
or owners. Each of these investments contain profit sharing agreements to the
affiliated organizations.
