NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1996
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of The Midland
Company and subsidiaries (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Financial information as of December 31, 1995
has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of the
Company. Revenue and operating results for the three and six-month periods
ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 1996. For further information, refer
to the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the
year ended December 31, 1995 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K.
Certain reclassifications (minor in nature) have been made to the 1995 amounts
to conform to 1996 classifications.
2. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share (EPS) of common stock are computed by dividing net income by
the weighted average number of shares and share equivalents (which considers
stock options and restricted stock awards) outstanding during the period. Such
weighted average numbers outstanding used for EPS calculations were as follows:
For Primary EPS For Fully Diluted EPS

3. INCOME TAXES
The federal income tax provisions (credits) for the three and six-month periods
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 are different from amounts derived by applying the
statutory tax rates to income before federal income tax as follows:

4. CONTINGENCIES
As discussed in Note 11 of the Company's financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 1995, there are certain potential or actual legal claims pending
against the Company; the most recent related significant activities are
described in Part I Management's Discussion and Analysis and Part II, Item 1 of
this Form 10-Q.
5. ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has not adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" and continues to account for stock
based compensation under APB Opinion No. 25.
6. SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW DISCLOSURES
The Company paid interest of $2,874,000 and $1,483,000 in the first six months
of 1996 and 1995, respectively. No income taxes were paid in the first six
months of 1996 and $5,000,000 in income taxes were paid during the first six
months of 1995. In January, 1995, the Company issued 48,950 shares of treasury
stock under a restricted stock award program that relieved treasury stock by
approximately $1,262,000 and also increased additional paid-in capital by
approximately $855,000.
INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
The Midland Company:
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of The Midland
Company and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1996, and the related consolidated
statements of income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30,
1996 and 1995 and of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1996
and 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and of making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which
is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a
whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to such consolidated financial statements for them to be in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of The Midland Company and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995, and the related consolidated statements of
income and retained earnings and of cash flows for the year then ended (not
presented herein); and in our report dated February 15, 1996, we expressed an
unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion,
the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 1995 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the
consolidated financial statements from which it has been derived.

THE MIDLAND COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
A detailed discussion of the Company's liquidity and capital resources
is included in the 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Except as discussed below,
no significant changes have taken place since that date and, accordingly, the
discussion is not repeated here.
Due primarily to heavier than normal weather related losses, American
Modern Insurance Group, the Company's insurance subsidiary, reported a pre-tax
underwriting loss of $9.9 million in the first half of 1996 as compared to a
pre-tax underwriting profit of $2.4 million during the first six months of 1995.
Weather related losses were also higher than normal during the second quarter of
1996 and 1995 with comparable underwriting results being achieved during those
respective quarters. Both written premium and earned premium increased slightly
during the first six months and second quarter of 1996 as compared to the
comparable periods in 1995. Insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses
increased during the first six months of 1996 as compared to the prior 1995 six
month period due primarily to the previously mentioned unusually heavy weather
related losses incurred during 1996. Insurance commissions and other policy
acquisition costs decreased during the first half and second quarter of 1996
due to a decrease in contingent commission expenses as a result of the
underwriting losses sustained during the period. Insurance operating and
administrative expenses increased during the first half and second quarter of
1996 as compared to the comparable 1995 periods due to the unusually high
litigation costs which were incurred in 1996.
Transportation revenues increased during the first six months and
second quarter of 1996 as compared to the comparable periods in 1995 due to an
increase in loadings as well as improved affreightment rates. Transportation
expenses increased during the first six months and second quarter of 1996 as
compared to the comparable 1995 periods due to the increase in revenues and
unusually high litigation costs incurred during the first six months and second
quarter of 1996 relative to the comparable periods in 1995. Excluding
litigation costs, the operating performance of this division during the first
six months and second quarter of 1996 improved as compared to the performance
achieved during the related 1995 periods.
During the second quarter of 1996, AMIG reached a settlement agreement
on a class-action lawsuit involving insurance written in Alabama and Mississippi
and M/G Transport settled a civil lawsuit that was related to alleged discharge
of bilge water, ash and other refuse into the inland waterways. M/G Transport
is still awaiting sentencing in the related criminal case. In the first six
months of this year, M/G Transport expensed approximately $3,600,000 (pre-tax)
and AMIG expensed approximately $2,400,000 (pre-tax) related to litigation.
Sportswear revenues and related expenses decreased during the first six
months and second quarter of 1996 as compared to the comparable periods in 1995
due to a decrease in orders related to the spring and summer apparel line.
However, the operating performance of this subsidiary improved during the first
six months and second quarter of 1996 as compared to the prior 1995 periods due
to a reduction in operating expenses. The performance of this subsidiary in
1996 is in line with Management's expectations and it is expected that this
subsidiary will contribute positively to The Midland Company's overall
profitability in the second half of 1996.
Accounts receivable increased due to the growth of the Company's
insurance subsidiaries. The growth in net written premiums caused an increase
in premium receivables and the Company's increased reinsurance activities caused
an increase in reinsurance receivables.
Sportswear inventories increased primarily due to the need to build up
inventory levels for the fall and winter production orders, however, net
inventory levels at June 30, 1996 are approximately $6,000,000 lower than at
June 30, 1995.
Insurance loss reserves increased due primarily to the high losses
sustained by the Company's property and casualty subsidiaries in 1996.
M/G Transport Services, Inc. has committed to the acquisition of 16
barges in 1996 for a total cost of $4.6 million. These acquisitions will be
financed by the disposal of two of M/G Transport's towboats valued at $5
million. M/G Transport has also committed to the purchase of 50 barges in 1997
for a total cost of $14 million. It is currently anticipated that these barges
will be financed with conventional long-term debt.
