regulations affecting the operations of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries; 2) changes in the business tactics or strategies of the Company
or any of its subsidiaries; 3) acquisition(s) of assets or of new or
complementary operations, or divestiture of any segment of the existing

materially affect the operations of the Company and/or its subsidiaries.

PART I
ITEM 1. Business.
Incorporated by reference from the inside cover and pages 2 through 11 and 28
(Note 17) of the Registrant's 1997 Annual Report to Shareholders. The number
of persons employed by the Registrant was approximately 805 at December 31,
1997.
Property and Casualty Loss Reserves
The Company's consolidated financial statements include the estimated liability
(reserves) for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses (LAE) of its property
and casualty insurance subsidiaries. The liability is presented net of amounts
recoverable from salvage and subrogation and includes amounts recoverable from
reinsurance for which receivalbes are recognized.
The Company establishes reserves for losses that have been reported to the
Company and certain legal expenses on the "case basis" method. The Company
estimates claims incurred but not reported ("IBNR") and other adjustment
expenses using statistical procedures. The Company accrues salvage and
subrogation recoveries using the "case basis" method for large claims and
statistical procedures for smaller claims.
The Company's objective is to set reserves that are adequate; that is, the
amounts originally recorded as reserves should at least equal the amounts
ultimately expected to be required to settle losses. The Company's reserves
aggregate its best estimates of the total ultimate cost of claims that have been
incurred but have not yet been paid. The estimates are based on past claims
experience and reflect current claims trends as well as social, legal and
economic conditions, including inflation. The reserves are not discounted.
The Company reviews its loss and loss adjustment expense reserve development on
a regular basis to determine whether the reserving assumptions and methods are
appropriate. Reserves initially determined are compared to the amounts
ultimately paid. The Company regularly makes statistical estimates of the
projected amounts necessary to settle outstanding claims, compares these
estimates to the recorded reserves and adjusts the reserves as necessary. The
adjustments are reflected in current operations.
There are no material differences between the loss and LAE liability reported in
the accompanying consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and that reported in the annual
statements filed with state insurance departments in accordance with statutory
accounting practices ("SAP").
The following table provides an analysis of changes in loss and LAE reserves for
1997, 1996 and 1995 (net of reinsurance amounts) for the Company. Based on the
information available during and at the end of each of the respective years,
operations were charged $5,230,000 in 1997 and $3,771,000 in 1996 as a result of
an increase in the estimated amounts needed to settle prior years' claims.
Operations were credited $7,347,000 in 1995 for such estimates. Such reserve
adjustments, which affected current operations during each of the years,
resulted from developed losses from prior years being different than were
anticipated when the liability for losses and loss adjustment expense were
originally estimated. These development trends have been considered in
establishing the current year liabilities.

Analysis of Loss and LAE Reserve Development
The next table presents the development of the estimated liability for the ten
years prior to 1997. The top line of the table illustrates the estimated
liability for unpaid losses and LAE recorded at the balance sheet date for each
of the indicated years. This liability represents the estimated amount of losses
and LAE for claims arising in all prior years that were unpaid at the balance
sheet date, including losses that had been incurred but not yet reported to the
Company.
The upper portion of the table shows the re-estimated amount of the previously
recorded liability based on experience as of the end of each succeeding year.
The estimate was increased or decreased as more information became known about
the frequency and severity of claims for individual years. Conditions and
trends that have affected development of the liability in the past may not
necessarily occur in the future. Accordingly, it may not be appropriate to
extrapolate future redundancies or deficiencies based on this table.
The "Net Reserve Re-estimated" section of the table shows the cumulative
redundancy (deficiency) developed with respect to the previously recorded
liability for all years as of the end of 1997. For example, the Company's 1990
reserve of $16,570,000 has been re-estimated as of year-end 1997 to be
$13,589,000, indicating a redundancy of $2,981,000.
The lower section of the table shows the cumulative amount paid with respect to
the previously recorded liability as of the end of each succeeding year. For
example, as of December 31, 1997, the Company had paid $13,550,000 of the
currently estimated $13,589,000 of losses and LAE that have been incurred as of
the end of 1990; thus an estimated $39,000 of losses incurred as of the end of
1990 remain unpaid as of the current financial statement date.
The Company's reserve development has been unfavorable beginning in 1995 due to
the Company's expansion into certain areas of commercial lines insurance. These
developments have been considered in establishing the current year liabilities.

Reinsurance
The Company reinsures certain levels of risk with other insurance companies and
cedes varying portions of its written premiums to such reinsurers. In addition,
the Company pays a percentage of earned premiums to reinsurers in return for
coverage against catastrophic losses. To the Company's knowledge, none of its
reinsurers are experiencing financial difficulties. Furthermore, the Company
monitors concentrations of credit risk arising from similar geographic regions,
activities or economic characteristics of the reinsurers to minimize its
exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies. The composition of
its reinsurers has not changed significantly in recent years. The Company has
not experienced any uncollectible reinsurance amounts or coverage disputes with
its reinsurers in over ten years.
