                                     SUMMARY

The following summary highlights important information about our business and
about this offering. Because it is a summary, it does not contain all the
information you should consider before investing in our participating shares.
You should read the entire prospectus, including the financial statements and
notes to the financial statements, before you decide to buy participating
shares.

OUR BUSINESS

We are a Barbados reinsurance company located at One Financial Place, Collymore
Rock, St. Michael, Barbados, and our telephone number is (246) 436-4895. We
assume risks with respect to motor vehicle repairs that are covered under motor
vehicle mechanical service agreements sold to purchasers of new and used motor
vehicles. These risks are initially insured under policies that are issued
either to General Motors Corporation or its affiliates, or to automobile
dealers, and reinsured by Motors Insurance Corporation. We then assume the risks
under these policies from Motors Insurance Corporation. (See "Our Business.")

THE OFFERING

Offered ...........        Shares of participating stock, not to exceed
                           12,000 shares, in series of 100 shares each,
                           without nominal or par value.  (See "Description
                           of Capital Stock.")

Offering Price ....        $75.00 per share, or $7,500 per series.

Terms of Offering .        We issue series of participating shares with
                           respect to specific MIC Mechanical Accounts.  An
                           "MIC Mechanical Account" refers to the record
                           maintained by Motors Insurance Corporation with
                           respect to mechanical service agreements sold by
                           one or more entities that sell motor vehicles.
                           Only one series of participating shares will be
                           issued with respect to each MIC Mechanical
                           Account.  To be eligible to purchase
                           participating shares, you must be certified to
                           purchase shares by the owners of the entity for
                           which the MIC Mechanical Account is maintained.
                           We will not issue any participating shares of a
                           series unless all shares of that series are
                           purchased by you or other eligible persons.

                                  RISK FACTORS

An investment in our participating shares is subject to significant risk. Before
you decide to purchase participating shares, please carefully consider the
following risk factors:

We Are Controlled By and Dependent Upon Motors Insurance Corporation.

Motors Insurance Corporation owns all of our common stock. This permits Motors
Insurance Corporation to control our board of directors and determine, among
other things, the selection of our officers, management company and investment
adviser. We have entered into a retrocession agreement with Motors Insurance
Corporation. Under this agreement, we assume (reinsure) risks of Motors
Insurance Corporation under insurance policies covering motor vehicle mechanical
service agreements. We rely exclusively on this retrocession agreement and,
thus, on Motors Insurance Corporation for our business. Therefore, any matters
adversely affecting Motors Insurance Corporation may have an adverse impact on
our business. In addition, under the retrocession agreement, Motors Insurance
Corporation has the ability to limit our reinsurance with respect to particular
MIC Mechanical Accounts. This could adversely affect the value of your
participating shares. (See "Our Business;" and "Description of Capital Stock.")

Under the retrocession agreement, we are required to reimburse Motors Insurance
Corporation for all claims paid by Motors Insurance Corporation with respect to
the motor vehicle mechanical service agreements that are covered by the
retrocession agreement. We may, at our own expense, participate with Motors
Insurance Corporation in the defense of any claim. However, Motors Insurance
Corporation generally has full authority to investigate and settle, or defend,
all claims.

The retrocession agreement does not specify a date upon which it will terminate.
The agreement may generally be terminated at any time by either Motors Insurance
Corporation or by us upon 30 days written notice. If the retrocession agreement
is terminated, we may not be able to continue to operate in the manner described
in this prospectus.

Restrictions Applicable to Motors Insurance Corporation's Ability to Retrocede
Risks to Us.

Motors Insurance Corporation believes that there is no federal or state law or
regulation that limits its ability to retrocede (assign) to us its risks with
respect to the mechanical service agreements. However, certain state insurance
laws and regulations are imprecise and subject to varied interpretations.
Accordingly, it is possible that a state administrator could attempt to limit
the retrocession arrangement between Motors Insurance Corporation and us on the
grounds that we are a non-United States company or a company that is affiliated
with the ceding company (i.e. Motors Insurance Corporation) or its producers
(i.e. the entities selling the mechanical service agreements). In addition, from
time to time, there are legislative and regulatory proposals that could, if
adopted, affect the ability of Motors Insurance Corporation to retrocede its
liability under the mechanical service agreements to us.



                                        3





Extension of New Vehicle Warranties Could Adversely Affect Our Business.

Our business is largely dependent upon sales of mechanical service agreements.
Therefore, our business could be adversely affected by changes in warranties
provided by manufacturers for new motor vehicles that limit the need for, and
sales of, mechanical service agreements. For example, if warranties provided by
manufacturers are expanded, there could be an adverse affect on the sales of
mechanical service agreements, and thus on our business.

Losses Paid With Respect to Mechanical Service Agreements and Other Expenses May
Exceed Our Income.

The amount of losses that are incurred under mechanical service agreements are
unpredictable and highly volatile. If the amount of losses and expenses we incur
under the mechanical service agreements combined with our other expenses exceeds
the amount of premium we earn and our investment income, we would incur net
losses. For the year ending December 31, 1999, we incurred net losses of
$3,534,968.

Each series of participating shares generally bears 100% of the losses incurred
with respect to mechanical service agreements sold by the entity with respect to
which the shares are issued. To the extent losses incurred with respect to
mechanical service agreements sold by the entity with respect to which your
participating shares are issued are substantial, you might lose all or a portion
of your investment even if other holders of participating shares do not
experience a similar loss. In addition, under certain circumstances, losses
incurred with respect to mechanical service agreements other than those sold by
the entity with respect to which your shares are issued, may be allocated to the
account maintained for your shares. (See "Description of Capital Stock --
Allocations to Subsidiary Capital Accounts.")

Investment Related Risks.

Our profitability depends in part on the amount of income we earn on our
investments. There is a risk that we will not earn a net investment return
which, when added to our earned premium, will be sufficient to offset our
liability for claims and expenses. In addition, we could suffer investment
losses due to declines in the market values of securities in which we invest
which may be caused by, among other things, volatile interest rates.

We invest primarily in debt instruments that are not subject to U.S. withholding
tax. In addition, we are permitted to invest a portion, not to exceed 30%, of
our portfolio in equity securities, including securities issued by non-U.S.
issuers. Investing in securities issued outside the United States subjects us to
certain risks not generally associated with securities issued in the United
States. These risks include:

          o    fluctuations in currency exchange rates;

          o    lack of standard financial and accounting information; and

          o    lack of liquidity in such securities.



                                        4





United States Tax Risks.

We conduct a reinsurance business in Barbados. We execute and administer our
retrocession agreements and manage our business affairs from Barbados. On this
basis, we believe that we should not be deemed to be engaged in business within
the United States through a permanent establishment, and, therefore, we believe
we should not be subject to United States income tax. However, given the factual
nature of the questions involved and certain aspects of our treaty reinsurance
program related to the United States, there can be no assurance that for tax
purposes we ultimately will not be deemed to be engaged in business within the
United States through a permanent establishment. In such event, we would be
subject to United States income tax on business profits attributable to such
permanent establishment, as well as an additional 5% branch profits tax.

Under captive insurance company provisions contained in the Internal Revenue
Code, each holder of participating shares generally will be subject to United
States income tax currently on his or her pro rata share of our earnings,
whether or not such earnings are distributed. To the extent that we were subject
to United States income tax on our business profits, the holders of
participating shares would not be subject to current tax on such profits, but
the holders of participating shares would be subject to tax on our actual
distributions with respect to such profits. (See "United States Federal Tax
Considerations -- United States Federal Income Tax Consequences -- The
Shareholders.")

No representation is made as to the effect that any change in United States tax
laws or the interpretation thereof may have on us or holders of participating
shares.

Risks Related to Foreign Business Operations.

Our business is conducted outside of the United States and may, consequently, be
affected by changes in foreign governments and by other political and economic
conditions. As a Barbados corporation, we are subject to the provisions of the
Barbados Companies Act, 1982. (See "Description of Capital Stock -- Barbados
Corporate Law Provisions.")

Competition and Loss of Business.

The business of insuring risks under motor vehicle mechanical service agreements
is highly competitive, with many companies seeking to insure mechanical service
agreements sold by entities selling motor vehicles. Since all of our business is
currently derived from the retrocession agreement with Motors Insurance
Corporation, the volume of our business is dependent, to some extent, upon the
marketability of agreements and plans developed by General Motors Corporation
and its subsidiaries, including Motors Insurance Corporation, and offered
through motor vehicle dealers. In addition, General Motors may choose not to
insure its liability under mechanical repair plans with Motors Insurance
Corporation or its subsidiaries which would limit our business.



                                        5





Barbados Regulatory Limitations May Restrict The Amount of Our Business.

Barbados insurance law requires that we maintain certain levels of capital and
surplus in relation to the amount of premium we earn. To the extent that our net
asset value does not meet these minimum requirements and to the extent that the
capital and surplus attributable to a particular series of participating shares
does not support the business attributable to such series, we may reduce the
amount of our business attributable to such deficient series.

We Are Dependent on Outside Consultants.

We do not have any full-time officers or employees. We rely on outside
consultants for insurance management, day-to-day administrative services, and
investment advice. In the event that our relationship with any of these
consultants were to terminate, we may have difficulty finding replacements.
(See "Our Business.")

Our Ability to Pay Dividends is Subject to Certain Restrictions.

Although our articles of incorporation require that we pay a minimum annual
dividend to holders of participating shares under certain circumstances, we will
not be able to pay any dividend unless such payment is in compliance with
Barbados insurance regulatory requirements, the Barbados Companies Act and other
limitations provided in our articles. (See Appendix A; and "Dividends.")

There Is No Public Market For Our Stock and There are Restrictions on
Transfers.

There is no public market for the participating shares, and we don't expect one
to develop. In addition, the participating shares are subject to substantial
restrictions on transfer. Except for transfers to some members of a transferor's
family, some trusts, some business affiliates, or estates, a transfer of any
series of shares is subject to our right of first refusal, and a transfer of
less than all of the shares of a series cannot be made without our express
written consent. All transferees must agree to be bound by the provisions of a
stock purchase agreement, including, among other things, restrictions on the
transfer of their shares. (See "Description of Capital Stock -- Restrictions on
Transfer," "Eligibility to Purchase the Shares," and "Plan of Distribution.")

We Have the Right to Redeem Shares.

We have the right to redeem participating shares of any series at any time and
for any reason. This would permit us, among other things, to redeem your shares,
at our discretion, if loss experience with respect to the mechanical service
agreements sold by the entity or entities with respect to which your
participating shares are issued, is unsatisfactory. We also may reject any
request for redemption by a shareholder. (See "Description of Capital Stock - -
Redemption.")



                                        6





The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development May Continue to
Identify Barbados as Being Engaged in Harmful Tax Practices.

For some time, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development
("OECD"), an international organization consisting of member countries devoted
to promoting international trade and development, has been engaged in an effort
to eliminate so-called "harmful tax practices" engaged in by some countries. As
part of that effort, in June 2000, the OECD released a list of tax haven
countries allegedly engaged in harmful tax practices that have not cooperated in
the OECD's efforts. Barbados is on that list. If the OECD continues to include
Barbados on this list after July 2001, member countries, such as the U.S., could
impose sanctions to deter harmful tax practices in Barbados. We do not know what
form such sanctions would take, although they could include, among other things,
denial of deductions for payments made to Barbados companies, reductions in
benefits under the tax treaty currently in place between Barbados and the U.S.
or other actions that could directly or indirectly affect us and our
shareholders. Barbados government officials have indicated that they are
currently working closely with the OECD to resolve all issues necessary for the
OECD to remove Barbados from the list. However, such efforts may not be
successful, and, if successful, they could include actions that may be harmful
to us such as the imposition of additional taxes.

                       ELIGIBILITY TO PURCHASE THE SHARES

Participating shares ("Shares") of a series may be purchased only by an
individual or entity certified by all the owner(s) of the entity or entities for
which an MIC Mechanical Account is maintained as a purchaser of all or part of a
series of Shares in respect of such MIC Mechanical Account ("Eligible
Purchaser"). An "MIC Mechanical Account" is the separate business record
maintained by Motors Insurance Corporation ("MIC") or any of its subsidiaries to
track volume, experience, and commissions with respect to mechanical service
agreements sold by one or more particular entities selling new and/or used motor
vehicles. There are no formal eligibility requirements for certification. The
owners of the entity or entities for which an MIC Mechanical Account is
maintained have complete discretion with respect to whom they choose to certify
as Eligible Purchasers (including themselves), provided that all beneficial
owners of the entity or entities for which an MIC Mechanical Account is
maintained consent to such designation. In addition, we have complete discretion
to accept or reject any offer to purchase Shares. No more than one series of
Shares is issued with respect to each MIC Mechanical Account. No Shares of a
series are issued unless executed stock purchase agreements (see Appendix B) for
all Shares of that series have been received and accepted by us.

A prospective purchaser is considered to be properly certified when we have
received a certificate in the form furnished by us (see Appendix C) from each
owner of the entity or entities for which an MIC Mechanical Account is
maintained stating that the prospective purchaser has been designated by such
owner(s) to be eligible to purchase the particular Shares and representing that
all beneficial owners of the entity or entities for which an MIC Mechanical
Account is maintained have consented to such designation. In addition, the
prospective purchaser must execute a stock purchase agreement, in the form
approved by us (see Appendix B) and forward that agreement, together with
payment for the Shares purchased, to us. Stock purchase agreements are subject
to acceptance by us. (See "Plan of Distribution.")



                                        7





The transfer of Shares is subject to restrictions. If less than all the Shares
of a series are transferred, we must give our consent. In addition, we have a
right of first refusal to purchase any Shares which the holder attempts to
transfer. However, a transfer is not subject to either of the foregoing
restrictions if the transferee falls into one of the categories of designated
transferees set forth in our articles of incorporation. (See "Description of
Capital Stock -- Restrictions on Transfer.")

                                 USE OF PROCEEDS

The offering of the Shares pursuant to this prospectus is being made on a
continuous basis. This means that it is not possible to predict how many series
of Shares will ultimately be purchased or the maximum net proceeds to be derived
by us from this offering.

The proceeds derived from this offering are added to our general funds to
provide a pool of funds for the payment of future claims in the event premiums
prove insufficient to cover such claims. Under Barbados law, we are required to
have minimum net assets, determined by reference to our annual earned premium.
All of our available capital, including the proceeds of this offering, is
invested in accordance with guidelines established by our board of directors. We
believe that the proceeds derived from this offering will be sufficient,
together with our other capital, to support our insurance operations for the
foreseeable future.

We establish a bookkeeping record for each particular series of Shares or class
of stock which we maintain for the purpose of accounting for items of income and
expense, gains and losses, capital contributions, and shareholder distributions
which are allocated to the particular series of Shares or class of stock
("Subsidiary Capital Account"). The consideration we receive upon issuance of a
series of Shares is allocated to the Subsidiary Capital Account established with
respect to that series of Shares. (See "Description of Capital Stock -
Allocations to Subsidiary Capital Accounts.")

                         DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

There is no public trading market for the Shares nor is one expected to develop.
The price per Share reflects our projected capital needs and bears no
relationship to any valuation criteria.

                                    DIVIDENDS

Dividends may be declared and paid at the discretion of our board of directors,
provided that, subject to the restrictions described in the following
paragraphs, each holder of Shares of a series will be entitled to receive a
minimum dividend, payable in the following year, equal to 20% of the annual net
income attributable to the Subsidiary Capital Account associated with that
series of Shares.

Pursuant to the general corporate laws of Barbados, dividends on the Shares are
payable only if after the payment: (a) we would be able to pay our liabilities
as they come due; and (b) the realizable value of our assets exceeds our
liabilities and stated capital. Dividends may not be paid out of unrealized
profits. Further, under Barbados insurance law, we are required to maintain a
minimum capitalization of $125,000 and, in addition, the recorded



                                        8





value of our assets must exceed our liabilities by: (a) $125,000 where our
earned premium in the preceding financial year did not exceed $750,000; (b) an
amount equal to 20% of our earned premium for the preceding financial year,
where such income exceeded $750,000 but did not exceed $5,000,000; and (c) an
amount equal to the aggregate of $1,000,000 and 10% of the amount by which our
earned premium for the preceding financial year exceeded $5,000,000. (See
"Description of Capital Stock -- Barbados Corporate Law Provisions.")

In addition to the provisions of Barbados law, our articles of incorporation
place limitations on the payment of dividends. Dividends may be declared and
paid only out of our earned surplus and only if, after giving effect to the
distribution, we meet the Barbados margin of solvency requirements without
regard to any letters of credit. Further, dividends with respect to any series
of Shares may be paid only out of earned surplus attributable to the Subsidiary
Capital Account identified with those Shares, and only to the extent that, after
giving effect to the dividend, the capital and surplus identified with that
Subsidiary Capital Account (without regard to any guarantee or letter of credit)
would meet its pro rata share, based on allocable earned premium, of the minimum
margin of solvency required of us under Barbados law, as described in the
preceding paragraph. To the extent that we declare a dividend, other than a
minimum dividend, on the Shares, it will be declared and paid subject to the
foregoing limitations on all series of Shares as a percentage of the net income
and/or earned surplus attributable to each series, provided that such percentage
may vary with the level of net income and/or earned surplus.

In March of 2001, May of 2000 and February of 1999, we declared dividends on the
Shares aggregating $3,083,096, $673,134 and $4,066,464, respectively. These
dividends, in each case, were declared as a varying percentage of earned surplus
attributable to each series of Shares with the percentage applicable to each
series depending on the amount of earned surplus attributable to such series.
The applicable percentages were 0% to 50% for dividends declared in 2001, 3% to
25% for dividends declared in 2000, and 15% to 45% for dividends declared in
1999.

The payment of dividends on our common stock (the "Common Stock"), all of which
is held by MIC, is also subject to the restrictions under Barbados law and our
articles of incorporation. In addition, our articles provide that dividends may
not be declared or paid on the Common Stock unless and until each holder of
Shares of a series has received any minimum dividend to which he is entitled for
the current period and may be declared and paid only to the extent that the
earned surplus attributable to the Common Stock exceeds Restricted Earned
Surplus (as defined in "Description of Capital Stock -- Allocations to
Subsidiary Capital Accounts").

                                  OUR BUSINESS

We were incorporated under the laws of Barbados on June 12, 1986. We became
registered as a licensee under the Barbados Exempt Insurance Act, 1983 to carry
on the business of an Exempt Insurance Company from within Barbados on June 30,
1986 and commenced operations in December, 1987. Our registered and principal
offices are located in St. Michael, Barbados. We were organized by MIC. All of
MIC's outstanding stock is owned by GMAC Insurance Holdings, Inc., a subsidiary
of General Motors Acceptance Corporation which, in turn, is a wholly owned
subsidiary of General Motors Corporation.



                                        9





Our business is the assumption of risks arising under mechanical breakdown
protection plans sold to purchasers of motor vehicles. These plans provide
coverage against specific motor vehicle mechanical breakdowns during the
manufacturer's new vehicle warranty period that are not attributed to
manufacturing defects and coverage for certain specified mechanical breakdowns
(whether or not caused by manufacturing defects) beyond the period covered by
the manufacturer's warranty. The risk of loss under these plans is covered by
insurance policies that are issued either to General Motors or its affiliates,
or to automobile dealers, reinsured by MIC, and retroceded to us to the extent
that such policies are attributable to an MIC Mechanical Account in respect of
which a series of Shares is issued and outstanding, provided, that fleet
coverages, medium duty truck business and maintenance plans are not reinsured.

Reinsurance is a means of transferring the risk of loss arising under a contract
of insurance from the company that initially insured the risk to the reinsurer.
Retrocession is the transfer of the risk borne by the reinsurer (the
"retroceding company") to another company which, in turn, assumes such risk (the
"retrocessionaire"). Retrocession agreements are of numerous different types and
may be individually negotiated by the parties to meet particular needs. Under a
"quota share" indemnity retrocession agreement, such as the retrocession
agreement between MIC and us, the retrocessionaire (us) is paid ("ceded") a
certain percentage of the premiums collected by the retroceding company (MIC)
and, in return, agrees to indemnify the retroceding company for a certain
percentage of the losses in respect of those risks. Further, a "treaty"
arrangement, such as is involved here, covers all risks of a defined class.
Under the terms of the retrocession agreement with MIC, we assume 100% of each
risk retroceded to us by MIC in return for which we receive 75% of the gross
premium with respect to the risk, reduced by related agents' or brokers'
commission if any. The remaining 25% of the gross premium is retained by MIC as
a ceding commission.

A major source of income to us is income earned on the investment of amounts not
currently required to meet claims or expenses. The funds available for
investment by us come primarily from accumulated capital and from unearned
premiums and are invested in accordance with investment policies and guidelines
adopted by our board of directors. Our investment portfolio consists of U.S.
dollar denominated fixed income securities and shares of a U.S. dollar
denominated international equity fund. In February of 2000, we implemented new
investment guidelines and entered into an agreement with BlackRock
International, Ltd. ("BlackRock") pursuant to which BlackRock manages the
investment and reinvestment of our fixed income investments. Permitted
investments under these new guidelines, which were fully implemented by the end
of year 2000, include U.S. Treasury and agency securities, mortgage-backed
securities backed by loans secured by residential multifamily and commercial
properties, obligations of U.S. and non-U.S. corporations, asset backed
securities, taxable municipal securities, and money market instruments. In
addition to our fixed income investments, we may invest a portion of our
portfolio, not to exceed 30%, in equity securities, including securities issued
by non-U.S. issuers. We have purchased shares of a fund organized in Luxembourg
that invests in such securities. At December 31, 2000, approximately 19% of our
investment portfolio was in equity securities and the remaining 81% was held in
cash and U.S. dollar denominated fixed- income securities.



                                       10





For managing the investment and reinvestment of our non-equity investments,
BlackRock charges a management fee calculated as a percentage of the net asset
value of our portfolio managed by BlackRock. The applicable percentage is based
on the aggregate amount of assets managed by BlackRock on behalf of us and
certain other related entities. The applicable percentage is tiered on the first
$50 million of assets under management on behalf of the foregoing entities and
lower on all assets in excess of $50 million.

We have entered into an Insurance Management Agreement (the "Management
Agreement") with Aon Insurance Managers (Barbados) Ltd. (the "Manager"),
pursuant to which the Manager collects and disburses funds on our behalf,
provides accounting, clerical, telephone, facsimile, information management and
other services for us, and advises and consults with us in regard to all aspects
of our retrocession activities. Under the terms of the Management Agreement, we
pay the Manager a fixed annual fee plus a monthly variable fee based on the
number of outstanding series of Shares at each calendar month end. For the year
ended December 31, 2000, we paid fees to the Manager in the amount of $232,178.

We are a resident of Barbados, as are some of our directors, and some experts
named herein, and all or a substantial portion of our assets and the assets of
such persons are or may be located outside the United States. As a result, it
may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United
States upon us or such persons, or to enforce against them judgments obtained in
United States courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"). We have been advised by our
Barbados counsel, Evelyn, Gittens & Farmer, that there is doubt as to whether
Barbados courts would (1) enforce judgments of United States courts obtained
against us or such persons predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the
1933 Act, or (2) impose, in original actions in Barbados, liabilities against us
or such persons predicated upon the 1933 Act.

We are subject to the informational requirements of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), and in accordance therewith file reports and other
information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Such
reports and other information can be inspected and copied at the offices of the
SEC, at Room 1024, 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C.; Room 1204,
Kluczynski Federal Building, 230 South Dearborn Street, Chicago, Illinois; and
Room 1102, Jacob K. Javits Building, 26 Federal Plaza, New York, New York.
Copies of such material can be obtained from the Public Reference Section of the
SEC at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549 at prescribed rates. The
information we file with the SEC is also available through the SEC's Internet
site at "http://www.sec.gov."

We furnish to our stockholders annual reports containing financial statements
that reflect our overall results and condition and that have been audited and
reported upon by independent public accountants, and quarterly reports for each
of the first three quarters of each fiscal year containing unaudited financial
information. In addition, we furnish to each holder of Shares of a series a
quarterly statement containing unaudited financial information relating to such
series. The reports furnished by us contain information prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

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


Liquidity. We expect to generate sufficient funds from operations to cover
current liquidity needs. Our liquidity requirements are related to payment of



                                       12





insurance losses, administrative expenses, and dividends. Premiums generated by
our reinsurance business, combined with investment earnings plus proceeds from
the sale of Shares, will continue to be the principal sources of our funds. We
believe that such funds will be sufficient to meet our liquidity requirements in
2001 and in future years to which our reinsurance liabilities extend. No capital
expenditures are expected during the next few years.

We had unearned premium reserves of $91,915,465 as of December 31,2000, and
$93,941,365 as of December 31, 1999. This decrease is primarily attributable to
our discontinuing accepting new business from certain unprofitable accounts.
Unearned premium amounts are attributable to the long-term nature of the
contracts sold. Such contracts may extend for up to 72 months from date of
issue. In addition, the risk of loss to us under the contract arises primarily
after the underlying manufacturer's warranty expires. For new vehicles, the
warranty generally covers 36 months or 36,000 miles. For used vehicles, the
applicable warranty period depends on the unexpired portion of the original
manufacturer's warranty at the time of purchase of the vehicle. Because we have
limited exposure to risk of loss prior to expiration of the underlying
manufacturer's warranty, most premium is not recognized as earned until such
expiration. Since very little premium is recognized as earned until the
expiration of the underlying warranty, most of the premium written in any year
is recorded as unearned.

Capital Resources. Our capitalization as of December 31, 2000 was comprised of
paid-in capital with respect to the Common Stock of $200,000, paid-in capital
with respect to the Shares of $1,942,500 (compared with $1,995,000 and
$2,362,500 as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively), and earnings
retained for use in the business of $16,247,004. The reduction in the amount of
paid-in capital with respect to the Shares as of December 31, 2000 compared with
December 31, 1999 is primarily attributable to redemption of Shares with nil
unearned premiums. The decrease in paid-in capital as of December 31, 1999
compared to December 31, 1998 is primarily attributable to the Redemption and
Recapture discussed below under "Results of Operations". There were a total of
259 series outstanding at December 31, 2000 compared to 266 and 315 series of
Shares outstanding at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. During 2000, we
issued 1 new series of Shares and redeemed 8 series of Shares for a net decrease
of 7 series.

Barbados law requires that our net assets equal at least the aggregate of
$1,000,000 and 10% of the amount by which our earned premium exceeded $5,000,000
in the previous year. If our net assets are less than mandated by Barbados law,
we have the right to reduce the business related to a Subsidiary Capital Account
by retrocession or any other means to the extent necessary to permit the
Subsidiary Capital Account to meet its pro rata share of our required capital
and surplus. At January 1, 2001, our required minimum net assets computed in
accordance with Barbados law was approximately $5,937,880 compared to total
capital and retained earnings computed for purposes of Barbados law of
$18,389,504.

Results of Operations. During the year ended December 31, 2000, we had net
income of $3,678,373 compared to a net loss of $3,534,968 for the year ended
December 31, 1999 and net income of $7,193,356 for the year ended December 31,
1998. The increase in net income in 2000 compared to 1999 arose from decreases
in underwriting losses incurred combined with increases in investment income. As
described below, the decrease in net income during 1999

                                       13





compared to the previous year was primarily as a result of increases in
underwriting losses incurred and decreases in investment income.

We had a net underwriting loss of $1,130,535 in 2000 compared to net
underwriting losses of $4,190,723 and $3,182,108 in 1999 and 1998 respectively.
During 2000, we earned premiums of $54,378,800 compared to $58,471,950 and
$57,845,674 during 1999 and 1998, respectively. Premium income decreased
primarily as a result of the Recapture as discussed below.

We incurred losses and administrative expenses during the year ended December
31, 2000 of $55,509,335 compared with $62,662,673 and $61,027,782 for the years
ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Expenses in 2000 were comprized
of losses paid and provisions for losses incurred of $40,702,668, ceding
commissions and excise taxes of $14,143,309 and operating expenses of $663,358.
Losses incurred in 1999 and 1998 were $46,784,152 and $45,552,545, respectively.
The loss ratio for the year ended December 31, 2000 was 74.9% compared to 80.0%
and 78.8% for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

During 1999, as a result of our adverse underwriting results, working with MIC,
we took steps to improve its underwriting performance. During 1999, our Board of
Directors voted to redeem 37 series of Shares that had consistently experienced
adverse underwriting results and that the Board determined were unlikely to
experience favorable underwriting results in the future (the "Redemption").
Because the Subsidiary Capital Accounts for these series each had a balance of
zero, the redemption price for the Shares was zero.

In addition to the Redemption, MIC agreed to commute the unearned premium and
all unpaid losses as of the end of the second quarter of 1999 that were
attributable to 37 series of Shares that the Board voted to redeem (the
"Recapture"). In exchange for assuming these unearned premium and unpaid loss
reserves, we paid $19,660,649 to MIC during the first quarter of 2000, which
amount represented the unearned premium and unpaid losses as of June 30, 1999
that were attributable to the commuted business (after offset by the 25% ceding
commission and 1% federal excise taxes previously paid by us with respect to the
recaptured business). If MIC had not recaptured this business from us, we would
likely have experienced larger underwriting losses and higher loss ratios for
the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999.

Notwithstanding the Redemption and the Recapture, there can be no assurance that
we will not experience significant adverse underwriting results in the future
and there can be no assurance that MIC would recapture additional business from
us if we do experience significant adverse underwriting results.

In addition to the Redemption and Recapture, we continue to work with MIC to
evaluate ways for improving our underwriting performance. MIC continues to
contact unprofitable accounts and implement procedures to improve profitability
at those accounts. If unprofitable trends continue at some accounts, then steps
are initiated to discontinue ceding new business to us with respect to such
accounts. Additionally, MIC continues to place claims adjusters at some
unprofitable accounts. Furthermore, claim approval empowerment levels have been
significantly reduced or eliminated.

We incurred operating expenses during the year ended December 31, 2000 of
$663,358 compared to $671,587 and $555,321 for the years ended December 31,



                                       14





1999 and 1998, respectively, which amounts do not include expenses paid directly
by MIC. MIC has agreed to pay directly certain such costs relating to
registering and issuing shares if such costs can not be allocated to the
Subsidiary Capital Account for the Common Stock. In 2000, $98,992 of such costs
were paid directly by MIC compared to $141,697 and $69,280 for the years ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

Investment income in 2000 was $4,808,908 compared to $655,755 and $10,375,464
for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The increase in
investment income during 2000 compared to 1999 arose primarily as a result of
reduced realized losses on sale of investment securities which was attributable
to the positive impact of lower interest rates on the value of our fixed income
securities. The decrease in investment income during 1999 compared to 1998 arose
primarily as a result of realized losses on sales of investment securities as
Rothschild, the prior investment manager, attempted to minimize the impact of
increasing interest rates.

The sale of investment securities for the year ended December 31, 2000 resulted
in realized losses of $313,531 compared to realized losses of $5,255,474 and
realized gains of $4,404,651 for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. Interest earned for the year ended December 31, 2000 was
$5,122,439 compared to $5,911,229 and $5,970,813 for the years ended December
31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Interest earned during 2000 compared to 1999
decreased primarily as a result of the repayment during the first quarter of
2000 of premiums paid to MIC with respect to the Recapture, which constituted
approximately 20% of our invested assets combined with the movement of funds
into the equity fund. Interest earned during 1999 compared to 1998 was largely
unchanged as a result of very little change in the amount of assets under
management or their coupon rates.

Unrealized gains on investment securities held at December 31, 2000 were
$2,732,423 compared to unrealized losses at December 31, 1999 of $162,459. The
increase in unrealized gains as of December 31, 2000 compared to December 31,
1999 resulted primarily from the improved performance of the fixed income
markets and the related increase in market value of the fixed income portfolio.

At December 31, 2000 approximately 19% (1999-10%) of our investment portfolio
was in a U.S. dollar denominated international equity fund and the remaining 81%
(1999 - 90%) was held in cash and U.S. dollar denominated fixed-income
securities.

As a result of the investment return we experienced prior to December 31, 1999,
our Board of Directors appointed BlackRock to replace the prior investment
manager of our fixed income portfolio and the Board adopted new investment
guidelines for the portfolio.

Pursuant to the Retrocession Agreement, we must furnish to MIC collateral in the
form of an irrevocable letter of credit of at least 12 months duration equal in
amount to the unearned premium in respect of risks retroceded and unpaid loss
reserves (including reserves for losses incurred but not reported) otherwise
required to be maintained by MIC in respect of the Policies. As of December 31,
2000, we had furnished such a letter of credit in the amount of $76,050,000.

Forward Looking Statements

The foregoing Management Discussion and Analysis contains various forward
looking statements within the meaning of applicable federal securities laws and
are based upon our current expectations and assumptions concerning future
events, which are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

Accounting Standards

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("FASB") No. 130, Reporting
Comprehensive Income, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1997. Under this statement all items required to be recognized under accounting
standards as components of comprehensive income must be reported in a financial
statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial
statements. We adopted this accounting standard in 1998. Adopting the accounting
standard has no impact on our reported net income.

In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, effective for fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 1999. In the second quarter of 1999, the FASB delayed implementation of
SFAS No. 133 until fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2000. The new
standard requires that all companies record derivatives on the balance sheet as
assets or liabilities, measured at fair value. Gains or losses resulting from
changes in the values of those derivatives would be accounted for depending on
the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. We are
currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 133 on our consolidated financial
statements. We adopted this accounting standard on January 1, 2001, as required.

                                   MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates, foreign currency
exchange rates, and certain equity security prices. Market risk is inherent to
all financial instruments. Active management of market risk is integral to our
operations. We seek to manage our exposure to market risk generally by
monitoring the character of investments that are purchased or sold.

A discussion of our accounting policies for derivative instruments is included
in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements included herein.

The following analyses are based on sensitivity analysis tests that assume
instantaneous, parallel shifts in exchange rates, interest rates, and interest
rate yield curves. There are shortcomings inherent to the sensitivity analyses
presented. The model assumes interest rate changes are instantaneous, parallel
shifts in the yield curve. In reality, changes are rarely instantaneous or
parallel. Although certain assets may have similar maturities or periods to
repricing, they may not react correspondingly to changes in market interest
rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets may fluctuate with
changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types of assets
may lag behind changes in market rates. We do not hold any financial instruments
for trading purposes.


                                       16





Interest Rate Risk. We have exposure to economic losses due to interest rate
risk arising from changes in the level or volatility of interest rates and
attempts to mitigate that exposure through active portfolio management. Our
investment guidelines do not permit the use of derivatives in managing interest
rate risk. As of December 31, 2000 and 1999, our net fair value asset exposure
to interest rate risk was approximately $75 million and $93.9 million,
respectively. As of December 31, 2000 and 1999, the potential loss in fair value
resulting from a hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates would be
approximately $1.5 million and $2.1 million, respectively.

Foreign Exchange Risk. Foreign exchange rate risk arises from the possibility
that changes in foreign currency exchange rates will impact the value of
financial instruments. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, 100% of our investments
were denominated in U.S. dollars.

Equity Price Risk. Equity price risk results from changes in the level or
volatility of equity prices which affect the value of equity securities. At
December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, we had approximately 19% and 10%
respectively, of our portfolio invested in an international equity fund. As of
December 31, 2000 and 1999, our net fair value asset exposure to equity price
risk was approximately $17.1 million and $11.8 million, respectively, and the
potential gain in fair value resulting from a hypothetical 10% increase in the
underlying equity prices would be approximately $1.7 million and $1.2 million,
respectively.

Overall Limitations and Forward-Looking Statements

We have developed fair value estimates by utilization of available market
information or other appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable
judgement is required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair
value; therefore, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts
that could be realized or would be paid in a current market exchange. The effect
of using different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may be
material to the estimated fair market value amounts. In addition, the above
discussion and the estimated amounts generated from the sensitivity analyses
referred to above include forward-looking statements of market risk which
assume, for analytical purposes, that certain adverse market conditions may
occur. Actual future market conditions may differ materially from such
assumptions because the amounts noted previously are the result of analyses used
for the purpose of assessing possible risks and the mitigation thereof.
Accordingly, the forward-looking statements should be considered projections of
future events or losses.

All transactions between us and our officers, directors, employees and
affiliates, will be on terms no less favorable to us than can be obtained from
unaffiliated third parties. Any such transactions will be subject to the
approval of a majority of the members of our board of directors who do not have
an interest in the transaction and who have had access, at our expense, to our
counsel or to independent counsel.

                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

We are currently authorized to issue 2,000 shares of Common Stock, without
nominal or par value per share, all of which have been issued to MIC and are
outstanding. In addition, we are currently authorized to issue 100,000 Shares,
also without nominal or par value per share (collectively, the Shares and the
Common Stock are referred to as the "Capital Stock"). The Shares are issued in
series of 100 shares. As of May 1, 2001, 25,900 Shares representing 259 series
had been issued and were outstanding and were held of record by 458
shareholders. All of the Capital Stock is, when issued and outstanding, fully
paid and nonassessable. No shares of Capital Stock have conversion, preemptive
or sinking-fund rights.


ALLOCATIONS TO SUBSIDIARY CAPITAL ACCOUNTS

We have established a Subsidiary Capital Account with respect to the Common
Stock as a class, and we establish such an account with respect to each series
of Shares at the time a series is issued. Subsidiary Capital Accounts are
maintained solely for the purpose of the allocations described below, and do not
serve any other legal or accounting function. None of our assets are segregated
or earmarked with respect to those accounts.

The consideration we receive upon the issuance of a particular series of Shares
and the Common Stock as a class is allocated to the Subsidiary Capital Account
for that series or class. Items of income and expense, and losses, attributable
to insurance underwriting activities are determined and allocated to the
Subsidiary Capital Accounts as of the end of each quarter. Investment
experience, and other items of income and expense, gains and losses and
distributions with respect to the Capital Stock, are determined and allocated to
the Subsidiary Capital Accounts as of the end of each quarter. All such
accounting determinations are made using United States generally accepted
accounting principles, unless otherwise required by the articles of
incorporation.

For purposes of the following discussion, items shall be "related" to the
Subsidiary Capital Account for the series identified with the MIC Mechanical
Account to which such items can be attributed.

(1)  Allocations with respect to underwriting activities are made as follows:

     (a)  With respect to premiums ceded by MIC to us, 100% to the related
          Subsidiary Capital Account; provided, however, that an amount equal to
          1-1/3% of those premiums, net of related ceding commissions, are
          subtracted from such Subsidiary Capital Account and allocated to the
          Subsidiary Capital Account for the Common Stock.

     (b)  With respect to any agents' or brokers' commissions, commissions
          recaptured, unearned premiums, reinsurance premiums ceded, and any
          United States excise tax, 100% to the related Subsidiary Capital
          Account.

     (c)  With respect to losses incurred, and any amount of losses recovered
          through salvage, subrogation, reimbursement or otherwise, 100% to the
          related Subsidiary Capital Account.

                                       20





     (d)  With respect to return premiums, 98-2/3% to the related Subsidiary
          Capital Account and 1-1/3% to the Subsidiary Capital Account for the
          Common Stock.

(2)  Any expenses or liabilities attributable to our day-to-day operations,
     excluding any United States Federal income taxes, are allocated among all
     Subsidiary Capital Accounts for the Shares pro rata on the basis of the
     number of series issued and outstanding at the end of the fiscal quarter in
     which the expense or liability is incurred, provided that for purposes of
     such allocation, series of Shares issued at any time during the twelve
     calendar months proceeding the end of the fiscal quarter in which the
     expense of liability is incurred and series with respect to which unearned
     premium is zero as of the date of such allocation, shall be excluded.

(3)  Any United States Federal income tax liability (and any interest thereon or
     any penalties related thereto) is allocated among the Subsidiary Capital
     Accounts based upon the relative contribution of each of those accounts to
     our taxable income upon which the tax (or any interest or penalties) is
     imposed.

(4)  Any expenses or liabilities attributable to the sale and issuance of
     Shares, including but not limited to the costs of compliance with
     regulations and requirements of the SEC and state securities laws (but not
     including ongoing periodic reporting costs), are allocated to the
     Subsidiary Capital Account for the Common Stock; however, MIC may undertake
     to pay such expenses.

(5)  Any of our expenses or liabilities not allocable in the manner described in
     paragraphs 2 through 4 above are allocated among the Subsidiary Capital
     Accounts on the basis of the relative balances of those accounts as of the
     end of the quarter preceding the date on which the expense or liability is
     incurred.

(6)  (a)  Investment income, net of any direct investment expense, is allocated
          among the Subsidiary Capital Accounts pro rata based upon the relative
          Investment Asset Balance (as defined in subparagraph (b) below) of
          each of those accounts as of the last day of the quarter preceding the
          quarter for which the investment income is being allocated. For these
          purposes, net investment income includes realized (but not unrealized)
          gains and losses.

     (b)  The "Investment Asset Balance" of each Subsidiary Capital Account is
          equal to the capital and surplus of each account, increased by:

          (i)  the unearned portions of the written premiums that have been
               collected by us attributable to those accounts as of the last day
               of the quarter preceding the quarter for which the income is
               being allocated, net of any applicable commissions and taxes;

          (ii) the outstanding loss reserves attributable to each of those
               accounts as of the last day of the quarter preceding the quarter
               for which the income is being allocated; and



                                       21





          (iii) any other outstanding liability that has been charged to the
               account as of the last day of the quarter preceding the quarter
               or which the income is being allocated.

(7)  (a)  If, after the credits and charges described in paragraphs 1-6 above
          are made to the Subsidiary Capital Accounts there exists a deficit in
          one or more of the accounts, then each such deficit is allocated to
          and charged against:

          (i)  first, the Subsidiary Capital Account for the Common Stock to the
               extent of Restricted Earned Surplus (the phrase "Restricted
               Earned Surplus" refers to the portion of the earned surplus, if
               any, in the Subsidiary Capital Account for the Common Stock equal
               to that 1-1/3% of the premiums ceded to us during the immediately
               preceding five-year period which was subtracted from the
               Subsidiary Capital Accounts for the Shares pursuant to paragraph
               1(a) above, net of losses allocated to that account during such
               period pursuant to the allocation procedure described in this
               paragraph 7 (to the extent such losses relate to premiums ceded
               to such account) and return premiums allocated to that Account
               during such period pursuant to the allocation procedure described
               in paragraph (1)(d) above);

          (ii) then, the Subsidiary Capital Accounts for the Shares, pro rata,
               based upon the relative earned premiums allocated to each such
               account for the quarter for which the allocation is being made,
               provided, however, that only accounts which have positive
               balances are taken into account for purposes of this allocation;

          (iii) then, the remaining Subsidiary Capital Accounts for the Shares
               with positive balances as of the last day of the quarter for
               which the allocation is being made, pro rata, based upon such
               balances; and

          (iv) then, to the extent necessary, the Subsidiary Capital Account for
               the Common Stock.

     (b)  If, as a result of an allocation of a deficit as described in
          subparagraph (ii) or (iii) of paragraph (a) above, a deficit is
          created in one or more of the Subsidiary Capital Accounts, then the
          resulting deficit(s) are further allocated in the manner provided in
          that subparagraph before applying a subsequent subparagraph.

     (c)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Subsidiary Capital Account for a
          series of Shares had a deficit that was allocated to and charged
          against the Restricted Earned Surplus or, after January 1, 1995, to
          the Subsidiary Capital Account for any series of shares, then at the
          end of any succeeding quarter for which that account otherwise would
          show an account balance greater than zero, the balance is reallocated
          to the Restricted Earned Surplus until all reductions of that surplus
          attributable to that Subsidiary Capital Account have been restored and
          thereafter, to the Subsidiary



                                       22





          Capital Accounts for the Shares, pro rata based on the relative amount
          of unrepaid deficits allocated to such accounts after January 1, 1995,
          until all reductions after January 1, 1995 with respect to the series
          of Shares from which the reallocation hereunder is being made have
          been restored.

          Thus, a loss in a Subsidiary Capital Account which exceeds the balance
          in that account is absorbed by other Subsidiary Capital Accounts, in
          general, as follows: The amount of such excess losses is charged first
          to the Restricted Earned Surplus portion of the Subsidiary Capital
          Account of the Common Stock. Any remaining losses, should the
          Restricted Earned Surplus be exhausted, are allocated among the
          Subsidiary Capital Accounts of other participating series. Any then
          unabsorbed losses are charged to the Subsidiary Capital Account of the
          Common Stock.

          Funds drawn from the Restricted Earned Surplus or the Subsidiary
          Capital Accounts for the shares in the manner described above must be
          restored from the Subsidiary Capital Account that drew the funds if at
          any time it returns to a positive balance.

(8)  (a)  Dividends, payments upon redemption or liquidation (described below),
          and any other distributions with respect to the Capital Stock are
          allocated to the Subsidiary Capital Account for the class or series
          with respect to which the dividend, payment or distribution was made.

     (b)  Where all Shares of a series are repurchased by us pursuant to our
          right of first refusal or redeemed in accordance with our procedures
          for redemption, the Subsidiary Capital Account for that series will be
          terminated as of the last day of the fiscal quarter in which unearned
          premium allocated to such account becomes zero. Subsequent to the
          repurchase or redemption, as the case may be, any positive balance as
          of the last day of any calendar quarter for the Subsidiary Capital
          Account of any repurchased or redeemed series of Shares, after
          application of paragraph 7(c) above, will be allocated among the
          Subsidiary Capital Accounts of the existing series of Shares pro rata
          based upon relative earned premiums attributable to such accounts for
          the calendar quarter then ending and any net deficit for any such
          period will be allocated in accordance with paragraph 7(a) above).


Using the procedures described above, the Company has allocated items of gain
and loss to the Subsidiary Capital Account for each series. Initially each
Account had a balance of $7,500 representing the amount paid for the Shares of
that series. During the year ended December 31, 2000, $467,177 of net
underwriting losses and $663,358 of administrative expenses were allocated among
the series of Shares outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2000, and
$4,808,908 of net investment income was allocated among such series of Shares
and the Common Stock.

As of December 31, 2000, 175 series of Shares outstanding had balances greater
than or equal to $7,500 (ranging from $7,642 to $685,617) and 160 of such
series had balances less than $7,500 (ranging from $7,325 to zero).  (The

                                       23





amounts in the Subsidiary Capital Accounts can fluctuate substantially and
therefore may not be indicative of future accumulated amounts.) At December 31,
2000, an aggregate of $4,516,426 had been advanced from the Restricted Earned
Surplus (which forms a portion of the Account established for the Common Stock
owned by MIC) to 104 Subsidiary Capital Accounts and remained outstanding at
that date including net deficits of $3,637,222 associated with 56 series of
Shares that have been redeemed. As of December 31, 2000, $7,348,811 of aggregate
deficits had been reallocated among the Subsidiary Capital Accounts of the
Shares and remained outstanding. Of this amount $2,833,577 could be recovered
from deficit accounts should they return to profitability and to the extent that
the risk fund is repaid in full. However, there can be no assurances that such
deficit accounts will return to profitability or, if they return to
profitability, that they will generate sufficient profits to repay any portion
of deficits previously allocated to the Subsidiary Capital Account for the other
series of Shares.

The Subsidiary Capital Account for the Common Stock had, at the time it was
established, a balance of approximately $200,000, representing the capital paid
in by MIC for the 2,000 shares of the Common Stock issued to it. That Subsidiary
Capital Account is not affected directly by underwriting gains and losses
attributable to the various Subsidiary Capital Accounts related to series of
Shares, but is affected by those gains and losses indirectly to the extent that
one of the Subsidiary Capital Accounts for a series of Shares incurs a deficit,
in which case an allocation to the Subsidiary Capital Account for the Common
Stock will result, in the manner described above.

The allocations of income and expense, gains and losses, and distributions
described above are subject to approval by our board of directors, and when
finally so approved are considered final and conclusive and will be binding on
all holders of Shares for all purposes including without limitation any
redemption of Shares pursuant to our procedures for redemption. (See
"Description of Capital Stock -- Redemption.")

Barbados insurance law requires that we maintain certain levels of net assets,
which for this purpose are calculated without taking into account unrealized
gains or losses. We are currently in compliance with these requirements.
However, in the event that we are unable to comply with such requirements in the
future, we have the right to reduce the business related to a Subsidiary Capital
Account by retrocession or any other means to the extent necessary to permit the
Subsidiary Capital Account to meet its pro rata share of our required capital
and surplus.

VOTING RIGHTS

Subject to the following, holders of Capital Stock are entitled to one vote for
each share held on any question on which the holder is entitled to vote. The
matters on which holders of Capital Stock are entitled to vote, and the relative
voting rights of each class of stock, are set forth below.

Election of Directors. The holders of Shares as a class are entitled to elect
one member of our board of directors and one alternate director, and the holders
of Common Stock as a class are entitled to elect five directors and up to five
alternate directors. At least one of the directors must be resident in Barbados.
Cumulative voting is not permitted.



                                       24





Proxies. Any shareholder may appoint another person as his or her proxy to act
on behalf of the appointing shareholder at any of our annual meetings. The
appointment of a person as proxy for a shareholder must be in writing.

Liquidation. We may be liquidated upon the vote of at least 75% of the
outstanding Shares. (See "Description of Capital Stock -- Liquidation.")

Changes in Articles and By-Laws. No change may be made to our articles of
incorporation or by-laws unless a majority of the Shares, and a majority of the
Common Stock, present in person or by proxy and voting at a meeting at which a
vote on that issue is put forth for a vote, approve the change. In addition, no
amendment may vary the rights associated with any one series unless either the
rights associated with all other series are similarly changed or a majority of
the holders of the Shares of each series present in person or by proxy at a
meeting vote in favor of the amendment.

Other Matters. Any matters other than those described above which call for a
shareholder vote require only approval by a majority of the outstanding shares
of Common Stock.

REDEMPTION

Pursuant to our articles of incorporation, the Capital Stock may be redeemed as
follows: We may redeem outstanding Shares of a series at any time for any reason
if the redemption of such Shares is approved by a majority of our board of
directors, provided that the director representing the Shares must vote in favor
of the action being taken. The Common Stock is nonredeemable in all
circumstances.

A redemption of Shares is effective as of the date specified by our board of
directors but no later than the end of the calendar year in which the redemption
was approved by the board. This date is referred to hereinafter as the
"Redemption Date." The consideration payable to the holders of redeemed Shares
will be the Subsidiary Capital Account balance ("Account Balance") of those
Shares as of the Redemption Date, as adjusted by the board of directors to
reflect any contingent liabilities allocable to such account. Each holder of
redeemed Shares will receive the pro rata portion of the Account Balance that
corresponds to the proportionate number of Shares of the series owned. The
Account Balance will be paid within five months of the Redemption Date and bear
interest from the Redemption Date until the date of payment at a rate equal to
the yield on 26-week U.S. Treasury Bills for the issue immediately following the
Redemption Date.

Upon the redemption of Shares on the Redemption Date, the redeemed Shares will
be cancelled and the holders thereof will no longer have any interest in the
Shares redeemed or in the Subsidiary Capital Account with respect to the
redeemed Shares.

LIQUIDATION

Subject to Barbados regulatory and judicial approvals, we may be liquidated upon
the vote of 75% of the outstanding Shares. In the event of liquidation, after
payment of all of our liabilities, each holder of Shares of a series is entitled
to receive his pro rata share of his respective Account Balance before any
distribution of our assets is made to the holder(s) of Common



                                       25





Stock.  Thereafter, the holders of Shares are not entitled to participate
further in the distribution of our assets.  Each holder of Common Stock will
be entitled to receive his pro rata share of our remaining assets, if any.

RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER

There is no existing public market for the Shares, and it is not anticipated
that one will develop in the future. In addition, our articles of incorporation
set forth a number of restrictions on the manner in which the Shares may be
transferred. These restrictions and certain exceptions thereto are described
below.

Transfers of Less Than All Shares of a Series. Subject to the exceptions
described below, transfers of less than all Shares of a series may not be made
unless the transfer is to us, or the holder(s) of the Shares sought to be
transferred has received our written consent. A request for consent must be made
in writing and set forth the name(s) and address(es) of the intended
transferee(s), the desired date of the transfer and the consideration to be
paid. No transfer may otherwise be made by a shareholder of less than all of the
Shares of a particular series that he owns. If we fail to give our written
consent, any subsequent transfer is void and of no effect.

Right of First Refusal. Subject to the exceptions described below, transfers of
Shares of a series may not in any event be made unless the holder(s) has
furnished to us a written notice of the intended transfer which notice shall
identify the intended transferee. We may elect, at any time within 60 days of
the receipt of the notice of the proposed transfer, to purchase the Shares
sought to be transferred. If we elect to purchase the Shares, the price will be
the Account Balance for the series of Shares sought to be transferred. A
purchase made by us pursuant to this "right of first refusal" will be deemed
effective upon acceptance by us of the offer to purchase, although payment by us
may be deferred until the end of the quarter in which the offer to purchase is
accepted by us. Shares purchased by us pursuant to this right of first refusal
will be cancelled.

Exceptions for Certain Transfers. A transfer of either all or a portion of the
Shares of a series is not subject to either our consent or right of first
refusal where our board of directors determines that the transferee of the
Shares is: (1) a member of the transferring shareholder's immediate family; (2)
a trust for the benefit of the transferring shareholder or for the benefit of
other exempted transferees described in this paragraph; (3) if the transferor is
a corporation, any of its shareholders; (4) if the transferor is a partnership,
any of its partners; (5) a corporation which is controlled by or under common
control with the transferor; (6) the estate of a deceased shareholder and
legatees or heirs of a deceased shareholder; (7) a charitable or other
qualifying organization described in section 170(c)(2) of the United States
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or any successor provision thereto; (8) in the
case of a transfer of less than all the Shares of a series, a person who
immediately prior to such transfer is a holder of Shares of that series; or (9)
a key employee of an owner of the entity with respect to which the Shares held
by the transferor were issued.

Provisions Applicable to All Transfers.  No Shares may be transferred unless
and until our board of directors has received, from the holder of the Shares
sought to be transferred, assurances of compliance with all applicable laws



                                       26





and regulations. Further, transferees of Shares must agree to abide by the
requirements set forth in the stock purchase agreement entered into by the
transferor. In addition, all transfers of Shares require the approval of the
Barbados Supervisor of Insurance.

Certificates representing the Shares will bear a legend noting the applicable
limitations on transfers.

COMMON STOCK

We are currently authorized to issue 2,000 shares of Common Stock, without
nominal or par value, all of which have been issued to MIC and are outstanding.

A Subsidiary Capital Account has been established for this class of stock, and
allocations of various items to such account are described above. (See
"Description of Capital Stock -- Allocations to Subsidiary Capital Accounts.")

Holders of Common Stock as a class are entitled to elect five directors, at
least one of whom must be resident in Barbados, and up to five alternate
directors. As a class, these holders generally have the sole right to vote on
matters not specifically reserved to the Shares. (See "Description of Capital
Stock -- Voting Rights.")

BARBADOS CORPORATE LAW PROVISIONS

The corporate law of Barbados was derived historically from that of England
prior to the coming into force in 1985 of the Companies Act Cap. 308 of the Laws
of Barbados, which is similar to the Canada Corporations Act. Barbados law may
differ in certain respects from comparable law in the United States. The
following is a summary of certain provisions of Barbados corporate law as
prepared by Evelyn, Gittens & Farmer, our Barbados counsel. The summary does not
purport to contain all applicable provisions and does not purport to be complete
or cover all respects in which Barbados corporate law may differ from laws
generally applicable to United States corporations and their shareholders.

Dividends and Distributions. Under Barbados law, a company may pay dividends
only if there are reasonable grounds for believing that (a) the company would be
able, after the payment of the dividends, to pay its liabilities as they become
due, and (b) the realizable value of the company's assets would be greater than
the aggregate of its liabilities and stated capital of all classes. Dividends
may not be paid out of unrealized gains.

Repurchase. We are authorized by our articles, subject to certain approvals, to
repurchase our own shares. Such purchases may only be effected if we can satisfy
a similar solvency test as that described above under "Dividends and
Distributions."

Shareholders' Remedies. Barbados corporate law contains wide protection for
minority shareholders and investors generally. A statutory right of action is
conferred on subscribers to shares of a Barbados company against the directors
and officers responsible for the issue of a prospectus, in respect of damages
suffered by reason of untrue statements therein. In addition, we may take



                                       27





action against directors and officers for breach of their statutory duty to act
honestly and in good faith with a view to our best interests.

Enforcement of United States Judgments. Except as mentioned below, a judgment of
a court in the United States, under which a sum of money is payable, will under
most circumstances be enforced as a debt by the courts of Barbados without
reexamination of the merits of the case. This will not apply where the judgment
is for payment of taxes, fines or penalties. There is also doubt as to whether a
Barbados court would enforce judgments of United States courts obtained against
us, or our directors and officers resident in Barbados, predicated on the civil
liability provisions of the 1933 Act or, in original actions, impose liabilities
against us or such persons predicated upon that Act. (However, liability for
violations of the 1933 Act by us may be imposed directly on MIC in a United
States court as a result of MIC being a "control person" with respect to us
under the 1933 Act.)

Indemnification. Our by-laws provide for the indemnification of our directors
and officers against liabilities incurred in their capacities as such, but the
indemnity does not extend to any liability incurred in respect of wilful
negligence, wilful default, fraud or dishonesty in relation to us.

Inspection of Corporate Records. Shareholders have the right to inspect and copy
our articles and by-laws, corporate register, security register, minutes of
shareholders meetings, any unanimous shareholder agreement, as well as our
audited financial statements, which must be presented to the annual meeting of
shareholders.



                                       28





                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Shares are being offered, on a continuous basis, by registered
representatives of GMAC Securities Corporation. GMAC Securities Corporation is
an affiliate of MIC and is registered as a broker-dealer under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and in each of the states in which Shares are being
offered. It is also a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. No commissions are charged or paid in connection with the sale of Shares.
All sales of Shares are subject to our approval. (See "Eligibility to Purchase
the Shares.")

PURCHASE PROCEDURES

In order to purchase the Shares, the following documents must be sent to us in
Barbados:

(1)  two duly executed stock purchase agreements (see Appendix B);

(2)  all necessary certifications of the eligibility of prospective purchasers
     by all the owner(s) of the entity or entities related to the MIC Mechanical
     Account with respect to which the Shares will be issued (see "Description
     of Capital Stock -- Allocations to Subsidiary Capital Accounts," and
     Appendix C); and

(3)  a certified or cashier's check payable to "Motors Mechanical Reinsurance
     Company, Limited -- Escrow Account" in the amount of the aggregate cost of
     the Shares to be purchased, based on the offering price of $75.00 per Share
     ("Purchase Payment").

None of the foregoing documents is to be executed or delivered until after a
final prospectus has been delivered to the offeree.

Once it is executed by a prospective purchaser, a stock purchase agreement is,
in effect, an offer to purchase the Shares described therein. That offer will be
deemed accepted only if we approve the offer and execute the agreement.
(See "Plan of Distribution--Conditions of Sale.")

Following execution of the stock purchase agreement by us, the prospective
purchaser has no right to withdraw the amount of the purchase payment or any
interest earned thereon. Amounts remain in the escrow account pending
satisfaction of the conditions set forth below under "Conditions of Sale."

TERMS OF SALE

Shares are sold only to Eligible Purchasers who have executed a stock purchase
agreement and returned it to us. Shares must be purchased by series, although
more than one person may buy the Shares of one series. Pursuant to the stock
purchase agreement, the purchaser must accept and agree to be bound by our
articles and by-laws, including the restrictions on transfer. (See "Description
of Capital Stock -- Restrictions on Transfer.") The stock purchase agreement
further provides that we may place on a certificate issued with respect to
Shares a legend stating that the transfer or other disposition of the Shares
evidenced thereby is restricted pursuant to our articles and by-laws.



                                       29





Once it is accepted by us, a stock purchase agreement remains in effect as long
as the Shares purchased pursuant thereto remain outstanding. A stock purchase
agreement terminates only upon the redemption of the Shares or our liquidation.
Upon a transfer of Shares, the transferor is relieved of all restrictions and
obligations under the stock purchase agreement which the transferor had entered
into upon the purchase of those Shares and the transferee, as a condition of the
transfer, is required to agree to abide by all of the provisions of the stock
purchase agreement.

CONDITIONS OF SALE

We maintain an escrow account at Barclays Bank PLC in Bridgetown, Barbados (the
"Escrow Account"), into which checks from prospective purchasers are deposited
pending our decision to accept the purchase. This account bears interest at
prevailing rates but is not subject to investment guidelines discussed above.

Each purchase of Shares must be accepted by us within 120 days from the date of
execution of the stock purchase agreement by the Purchaser. If we determine to
accept an offer to purchase Shares from an Eligible Purchaser, we execute both
copies of the stock purchase agreement remitted by such person and return one
copy to such person. If we determine not to approve an offer to purchase, we
return the stock purchase agreement without having executed it.

Pending approval of offers, each check for the purchase of Shares (which
ordinarily is received together with a stock purchase agreement) is deposited in
the Escrow Account. If a request to purchase is approved, Shares are issued and
the Eligible Purchaser receives a certificate evidencing ownership of the
Shares. Where we determine not to approve a sale of Shares to a prospective
purchaser, the purchase payment is returned, together with any interest earned
thereon. We have the right to reject any prospective purchaser for any reason
whatsoever.

TERMINATION OF OFFERING

Unless terminated sooner by our board of directors, this offering will terminate
on the date on which all of the Shares offered hereby have been sold.


                    UNITED STATES FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS


It is impractical to comment here on all aspects of the Federal, state, and
local tax laws that may affect the United States taxation of us and our
shareholders. The following is a discussion, based on the facts set forth herein
and existing law, of the material Federal tax consequences which, in the opinion
of our U.S. tax counsel, LeBoeuf, Lamb, Greene & MacRae, L.L.P., are associated
with an investment in Shares.

United States taxation of us and our shareholders involves a number of complex
questions of fact and law with respect to some of which there is no statutory,
administrative, or judicial authority directly on point. We have not requested
advance rulings on these questions from the Internal Revenue Service



                                       30





(the "Service") and, at least as to certain matters, there is no assurance that
favorable rulings could be obtained. There is also no assurance that the laws in
existence as of the date of this prospectus will not be modified so as to alter
the tax consequences described below.

This discussion does not address all aspects of Federal income taxation that may
be relevant to a particular shareholder in light of his or her personal tax
circumstances. Nor does it address state, local, or foreign tax laws that may
affect taxation of shareholders. You Should Consult Your Own Tax Advisor
Concerning The Tax Implications Of Your Investment In Shares.

UNITED STATES -- BARBADOS INCOME TAX TREATY

The United States and Barbados have entered into an income tax treaty (the
"Treaty") that offers certain tax benefits (some of which are discussed below)
to those persons who qualify for its protection. As a Barbados corporation that
ultimately is owned more than 50% by U.S. persons, we are entitled to the
benefits of the Treaty provided that we are "resident" (that is, "managed and
controlled") in Barbados. We attempt to conduct our business in such a manner
that we will be considered to be "managed and controlled" in Barbados in order
to qualify for the benefits of the Treaty.

For some time, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development
("OECD"), an international organization consisting of member countries devoted
to promoting international trade and development, has been engaged in an effort
to eliminate so-called "harmful tax practices" engaged in by some countries. As
part of that effort, in June 2000, the OECD released a list of tax haven
countries allegedly engaged in harmful tax practices that have not cooperated in
the OECD's efforts. Barbados is on that list. If the OECD continues to include
Barbados on this list after July 2001, member countries, such as the U.S., could
impose sanctions to deter harmful tax practices in Barbados. We do not know what
form such sanctions would take, although they could include, among other things,
denial of deductions for payments made to Barbados companies, reductions in
benefits under the tax treaty currently in place between Barbados and the U.S.
or other actions that could directly or indirectly affect us and our
shareholders. Barbados government officials have indicated that they are
currently working closely with the OECD to resolve all issues necessary for the
OECD to remove Barbados from the list. However, such efforts may not be
successful, and, if successful, they could include actions that may be harmful
to us such as the imposition of additional taxes.


UNITED STATES PREMIUM EXCISE TAX

The United States imposes an excise tax at the rate of 1% of the gross premiums
paid to foreign insurance companies for reinsurance covering risks located
within the United States. Reinsurance premiums paid to us are subject to this
excise tax.


UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX RISKS AND CONSEQUENCES TO US

Risks and Consequences of Carrying on a United States Reinsurance Business
Through a Permanent Establishment.  As a "resident" of Barbados, if we engage
in business within the United States through a permanent establishment, we



                                       31





will be subject to United States Federal income tax at normal corporate tax
rates on our business profits that are attributable to such permanent
establishment. Insofar as is relevant hereto, all of our underwriting income and
investment income (such as dividends and interest) generally would be treated as
business profits attributable to such a permanent establishment. In addition, a
Barbadian resident corporation engaged in business in the United States through
a permanent establishment would be subject to a branch-level tax at the rate of
5% (reduced by the Treaty from a 30% statutory rate that would apply generally
to foreign corporations engaged in business in the United States) on its
after-tax earnings attributable to its United States permanent establishment
that are considered remitted to the head office of the corporation.

All relevant facts and circumstances must be taken into account in any
particular case in determining whether a person is engaged in business within
the United States and, if so, whether the business is carried on through a
permanent establishment within the meaning of the Treaty. Under the Treaty, the
activities of both dependent and independent agents in some circumstances may be
deemed to create a permanent establishment of the principal that they represent.
As discussed elsewhere herein, we conduct reinsurance business in Barbados and
in that regard execute and administer our reinsurance agreements and manage our
business affairs from Barbados. On this basis, we believe that we should not be
deemed to be engaged in business within the United States through a permanent
establishment, and therefore we believe we should not be subject to United
States income tax. However, given the factual nature of the questions involved
and certain aspects of our treaty reinsurance program related to the United
States, and given the absence of any clear legal interpretation of the
application of the provisions of the permanent establishment standard under the
circumstances, there can be no assurance that for tax purposes we ultimately
will not be deemed to be engaged in business within the United States through a
permanent establishment.

United States Withholding Tax Applicable to Certain Investment Income Not
Attributable to a United States Permanent Establishment. If we do not engage in
business within the United States through a permanent establishment, we
generally will be subject to a United States withholding tax on interest,
dividends, and certain other investment income derived from sources within the
United States. (The 30% rate of United States withholding tax provided by
statute is reduced by the Treaty to 5% in the case of interest and 15% in the
case of dividends derived from portfolio investments.) An exemption from the
United States withholding tax is provided for interest earned on amounts on
deposit in a bank, savings and loan association, or insurance company, and
interest income, termed "portfolio interest," on certain debt obligations of
United States issuers.

Under investment guidelines implemented in 2000, we expect to invest our funds
in the United States in circumstances whereby we do not incur a withholding tax.
(See "Our Business.")

Reallocations By Internal Revenue Service. Under section 482 of the Internal
Revenue Code (the "Code"), the Service may allocate gross income, deductions,
and credits between or among two or more businesses, owned or controlled
directly or indirectly by the same interests, in order to prevent evasion of
taxes or to reflect clearly the true taxable income of such businesses. As
described elsewhere herein, MIC elects five of our six directors through its



                                       32





ownership of all of our issued and outstanding Common Stock. Thus, if
transactions between MIC and us were determined not to reflect the true taxable
income of the parties, a reallocation of income or deductions between such
entities could result. However, as long as the transactions between MIC and us
are conducted on an "arm's-length" basis in a manner consistent with industry
standards and practices, section 482 should not provide a basis for
reallocations by the Service between MIC and us.

In addition, section 845 of the Code grants broad authority to the Service to
adjust items arising under certain reinsurance agreements (including
retrocession agreements), whether or not they involve related parties. If two or
more "related" parties enter into a reinsurance contract, the Service in general
may make any adjustment necessary to reflect the "proper source and character"
of the taxable income of each such party. The Service also has broad authority
to make proper adjustments where any reinsurance contract between unrelated
parties has a "significant tax avoidance effect" on any party to the contract.

Because MIC is entitled to elect five of our six directors, we and MIC may be
considered "related" parties within the meaning of section 845 of the Code. To
date, there are no regulations under section 845 of the Code to aid in its
interpretation. However, the legislative history of section 845 suggests that
certain types of reinsurance transactions -- such as a coinsurance reinsurance
transaction that covers new business of the ceding company and that allocates
expenses and income items between the ceding company and the reinsurer in the
same proportion as the allocation of the risk reinsured -- generally should not
be subject to reallocations or adjustments. The ongoing quota share retrocession
agreement between MIC and us, in general, would seem to be similar to such
transactions for which adjustments generally should not be made, but there is
substantial uncertainty at the present time concerning the scope of section 845.

If the Service were successful in an effort to reallocate to MIC business
retroceded to us by MIC, MIC would likely be subject to tax on such business.
Since we have no obligation to indemnify MIC against such adverse tax
consequences, a reallocation of business to MIC should not directly affect us.
However, any such reallocation might contribute to the early termination of the
retrocession agreement between MIC and us.

UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES -- THE SHAREHOLDERS

Taxation of Our Income to Shareholders Under Subpart F of the Code. Under the
so-called "Subpart F" provisions (sections 951-964) of the Code, current United
States income tax is imposed on each United States person who owns stock in any
25% or more U.S.-owned foreign insurance company with respect to "related person
insurance income," whatever the degree of ownership of the United States
shareholder. For this purpose, the term "related person insurance income" means
underwriting and investment income of a foreign insurer attributable to a policy
of insurance or reinsurance with respect to which the insured is a United States
shareholder of the foreign insurer or a person related to such a shareholder.
Under this provision, all of our income (as determined for tax purposes) will be
treated as "related person insurance income," and, as such, will be passed
through and taxed currently to all of our shareholders ("Shareholders") under
Subpart F of the Code.



                                       33





The basis of the stock of a Shareholder will be increased by the amount required
to be included in the Shareholder's income with respect to such stock under
Subpart F. Further, a distribution from our earnings and profits attributable to
amounts that have been included in gross income of the Shareholders under
Subpart F would not be included again in gross income of the Shareholders but
would reduce the adjusted tax basis of the stock with respect to which the
distribution is made. It should be noted that Subpart F income will be computed
for us as a single entity. The amount of Subpart F income attributable to one
series of Shares in these circumstances may be affected by results with respect
to other series. It also should be noted that our Subpart F income generally
will be computed under the same rules that govern the computation of taxable
income of domestic property and casualty insurance companies.

Although Subpart F income generally is allocated based on book income,
differences between the financial and tax accounting rules applicable to the
computation of our income may result in differences in any year between the
amount of income subject to pass-through to a Shareholder for United States tax
purposes and the amount of book income allocable to a Shareholder's Subsidiary
Capital account. Since the consideration payable to the holders of a series of
Shares upon redemption is based substantially on book income previously
allocated to the Shares being redeemed, such consideration may not reflect the
amount of income previously passed through and taxed to the holders of those
Shares.

To the extent that we were subject to United States income tax on our business
profits, the Shareholders generally would not be subject to current tax on such
profits under Subpart F, but would be taxed when profits were distributed by us.
(See "United States Federal Tax Considerations -- United States Federal Income
Tax Consequences To Us.")

Risk of Recharacterization of Reinsurance Profits on Business Retroceded to Us.
As described elsewhere herein, a portion of the underwriting experience in
respect of insurance business retroceded to us is allocated to the series of
Shares issued in respect of the entity that is the source of such business. In
this connection, the Service could question whether profits on such business
should be treated as being related to equity ownership for tax purposes, or
whether the Shares should be treated, in whole or in part, as a means by which
the direct insurer pays additional income to certain of its business producers
or pays return premiums to certain policyholders, such that the producers or
policyholders (rather than the Shareholders) should be subject to ordinary
income tax on all or some of such profits. Although the issue is not free from
doubt, given, among other things, the significance of the Shareholders'
"at-risk" investment in us relative to the volume of our business, the degree of
pooling of risks among all series of Shares, the fact that distributions with
respect to Shares are, subject to certain "minimum dividends," within the
discretion of our board of directors, and the vote accompanying each Share,
there should be substantial arguments against the recharacterization of profits
with respect to the Shares.

Deductibility of Premiums Paid By Entities Selling Motor Vehicles for Certain
Coverages Reinsured by Us. As discussed elsewhere herein, risks arising under
mechanical service agreements entered into with respect to a particular entity
selling motor vehicles ultimately may be retroceded to us and allocated in part
to a series of Shares owned by the owner(s) of such entity or by persons



                                       34





closely related to such owner(s). The Service conceivably could seek to deny any
deductions taken by the obligor under the mechanical service agreements for
premiums paid by it with respect to its obligations ultimately retroceded to us,
relying on the theory, developed in cases dealing with transactions involving
wholly owned insurance companies, that no insurance risk has been shifted in
respect of such premiums. However, although the matter is not free from doubt,
given the degree of risk pooling among the series of Shares, there should be
substantial arguments in support of the treatment of such premiums as deductible
insurance premiums for tax purposes.

To the Stockholders of
Motors Mechanical Reinsurance Company, Limited
One Financial Place
Collymore Rock
St. Michael, Barbados




We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Motors Mechanical Reinsurance
Company, Limited (the "Company") as at December 31, 2000 and 1999 and the
related statements of income\(loss) and retained earnings, changes in
shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Motors Mechanical Reinsurance Company,
Limited as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.

              FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000, 1999, AND 1998

                           (Expressed in U.S. Dollars)

Note 1.  OPERATIONS

     The Company is incorporated under the laws of Barbados and is a licensed
     insurer under the Exempt Insurance Act, 1983, and amendments thereto.

     All of the common stock of the Company is owned by Motors Insurance
     Corporation ("MIC"), a member of the GMAC Insurance Group. MIC is an
     indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of General Motors Corporation. The
     principal activity of the Company is the assumption of motor vehicle
     mechanical service agreements arising under insurance policies reinsured by
     MIC and attributable to an MIC Mechanical Account in respect of which
     shares of Participating Stock are issued and outstanding. All premiums
     received were assumed from MIC.

Note 2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Basis of Presentation

     The financial statements are stated in United States dollars and are
     prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted within
     the United States of America.

     Use of Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements requires management to make
     estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
     liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
     of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
     expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
     those estimates.

     Premium Income and Acquisition Costs

     Reinsurance premiums are based on the Company assuming (after ceding
     commission) 75% of the original policy premium written by the direct
     insurer. Of these reinsurance premiums, 75% is retroceded to the Company
     when written and 25% when earned.

     Premiums are written on the basis of quarterly cessions and earned relative
     to anticipated loss exposures. Acquisition costs, consisting of ceding
     commissions and excise taxes, are taken into income on the basis of
     premiums earned.

     accumulated other comprehensive income.

     Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are included as
     investment income and are calculated based on amortized costs.

     Loss Reserves

     The Company provides for unsettled, reported losses based on estimates of
     the final settlement, with an experience factor added to provide for losses
     incurred but not reported. The final settlement may be greater or less than
     the amounts provided. Any such differences, when they become known, are
     recognized in current operations and can potentially be significant to the
     financial statements.

     Derivatives

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, Accounting
     for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, effective for fiscal
     years beginning after June 15, 1999. In the second quarter of 1999, the
     FASB issued SFAS No. 138 which amends SFAS No. 133 and delayed
     implementation of statement No. 133 until fiscal years beginning on or
     after June 15, 2000. The new standard requires that all companies record
     derivatives on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities, measured at fair
     value. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the values of those
     derivatives would be accounted for depending on the use of the derivative
     and whether it qualified for hedge accounting. The Company adopted this
     accounting standard on January 1, 2001 as required. Adoption did not have a
     material impact on the financial position or result of operations of the
     Company.

     Taxation

     The Company has received an undertaking from the Barbados Government
     exempting it from all local income, profits and capital gains taxes for a
     period ending December 31, 2016. Thereafter and until December 31, 2031,
     the Company will be subject to tax at a rate of 2% on its taxable income
     provided that the amount of such tax will not exceed $2,500 per annum.

Note 5.  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

     All of the Company's Common Stock is held by MIC.

     During 2000, 1 additional series of 100 shares of Participating Stock was
     issued as compared with 2 for the year ended December 31, 1999. In
     addition, in 2000 the Board of Directors redeemed 8 series of 100 shares
     which had been previously placed in run off and of which 7 series had
     reached a fully earned position during 2000 and 6 were redeemed for nil
     value. One series was redeemed for nil value due to unprofitable
     performance. During 1999 the Board of Directors also redeemed 37 series of
     100 shares for nil value, and thereafter, MIC recaptured the unearned
     premium and loss reserves for those series. (See Note 9).

     In the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, costs in the amount of
     $98,992, $141,696 and $69,280 respectively, were incurred in the sale of
     Participating Stock. The Common Stockholder reimbursed the Company directly
     for these expenses.

     The holder of Common Stock is entitled to elect five directors, at least
     one of whom must be a resident of Barbados. The holder of Common Stock has
     no right to vote with respect to liquidation of the Company. The holder
     generally has the sole right to vote on matters not specifically reserved
     to Participating Stock.

     The holders of Participating Stock as a class are entitled to elect one
     director. Generally, liquidation of the Company requires approval by at
     least 75% of the outstanding shares of this class. Any redemption of a
     series of shares requires a vote of the Board of Directors provided that
     the director representing holders of the Participating Stock votes in favor
     of the redemption. Any changes in the Company's Articles of Incorporation
     or By-Laws require the approval of a majority of the shares of
     Participating Stock present and voting together with a majority of the
     shares of Common Stock.

     From time to time, funds are held in escrow on account of Participating
     Stock applications. Such amounts are not included in cash and cash
     equivalents in the accompanying financial statements. At December 31, 2000,
     there were no in funds held in escrow.

Note 6.  REINSURANCE PREMIUMS

     Under the provisions of the retrocession agreement, the Company will assume
     future additional premiums in 2000 of $30,638,488 ($31,313,788 at December
     31, 1999) relating to premiums written by Motors Insurance Corporation but
     unearned at the respective period ends. The amounts will be received as the
     premiums are earned, net of related acquisition costs.

Note 7.  LETTER OF CREDIT

     The Company has provided an irrevocable letter of credit to MIC, in the
     amount of $76,050,500 to collateralize the amounts recoverable from the
     Company related to the business ceded to it. Cash equivalents and
     investments are assigned to collateralize the letter of credit.

Note 8.  RETAINED EARNINGS

     Items of income or loss and premiums and expenses attributable to insurance
     underwriting activities are determined as of the end of each calendar
     quarter and are allocated to the Participating Stockholders' capital
     accounts.

     An amount equal to 1 percent of assumed premiums is allocated to the
     capital account of the Common Stockholder. Such allocations accumulate as
     restricted retained earnings and may be used to advance capital to any
     Participating Stockholders who incur a deficit in their capital accounts;
     any such advances are repayable out of future profitable operations of the
     respective Participating Stockholder. Amounts allocated to the Common
     Stockholder, net of advances to Participating Stockholders, are presented
     in the table below as "net transfers."

     Dividends may be declared and paid at the discretion of the Company's Board
     of Directors subject to the right of holders of participating stock to
     receive minimum dividends. The minimum annual dividend payable on each
     share shall be such share's pro rata portion of an amount equal to twenty
     percent of the net income, if any, for the preceding year attributable to
     the subsidiary capital account associated with the series of which that
     share is part.

     Barbados law requires that the Company maintain a minimum margin of
     solvency based generally on the amount of premiums earned in the preceding
     year. At January 1, 2001, the Company's required minimum stockholders'
     equity computed in accordance with Barbados law was approximately
     $5,937,880.

(1) ALLOCATIONS TO SUBSIDIARY CAPITAL ACCOUNTS

The Company will establish a Subsidiary Capital Account with respect to the
Common shares as a class, and to each series of Shares of the Company at the
time a series is issued.

The consideration received by the Company upon the issuance of a particular
series of Shares and the Common shares as a class will be allocated to the
Subsidiary Capital Account for that series or class. Items of income and
expense, and losses, attributable to insurance underwriting activities shall be
determined as of the end of each calendar quarter and shall be allocated to the
Subsidiary Capital Accounts as of the end of the fiscal quarter of the Company
in which the respective calendar quarter ends. Investment experience, and other
items of income and expense, gains and losses and distributions with respect to
shares of the Company will be determined and allocated to the Subsidiary Capital
Accounts as of the end of each fiscal quarter of the Company. All such
accounting determinations shall be made using United States generally accepted
accounting principles, unless otherwise required by these Articles. For purposes
of such allocations, items shall be "related" to a Subsidiary Capital Account
which is identified with the same MIC Mechanical Account to which such items can
be attributed.

(1) Items of income and expense, and losses, attributable to insurance
underwriting activities shall be allocated to the Subsidiary Capital Accounts in
accordance with the following paragraphs:

     (a) With respect to premiums ceded to the Company, one hundred percent
     (100%) shall be allocated to the related Subsidiary Capital Account;
     provided, however, that an amount equal to one and one-third percent
     (1-1/3%) of such premiums shall be subtracted from such Subsidiary Capital
     Account and allocated to the Subsidiary Capital Account of the Common
     shares.

     (b) With respect to any agents' or brokers' commissions, any commissions
     recaptured, unearned premiums, reinsurance premiums ceded by the Company,
     and any United States excise tax, one hundred percent (100%) shall be
     allocated to the related Subsidiary Capital Account.

     (c) With respect to losses incurred, and any amount of losses recovered
     through salvage, subrogation, reimbursement or otherwise, one hundred
     percent (100%) shall be allocated to the related Subsidiary Capital
     Account. For this purpose, losses incurred includes both paid and unpaid
     (reported and unreported) losses.

     (d) With respect to return premiums, ninety-eight and two-thirds percent
     (98-2/3%) shall be allocated to the related Subsidiary Capital Account and
     one and one-third percent (1-1/3%) shall be allocated to the Subsidiary
     Capital Account for the Common shares.

(2) Any expenses or liabilities attributable to ordinary day-to-day Company
operations, excluding any United States Federal income taxes, shall be allocated
among all Subsidiary Capital Accounts for the Shares pro rata on the basis of
the number of series issued and outstanding at the end of the fiscal quarter in
which the expense or liability is incurred, provided that for purposes of such
allocation, series of Shares issued at any time during the twelve calendar
months preceding the end of the fiscal quarter in which the expense or liability
is



                                       A-3





incurred, and series with respect to which the unearned premium is zero as of
such date, shall be excluded.

(3) Any United States Federal income tax liability (and any interest thereon or
any penalties related thereto) incurred by the Company shall be allocated among
the Subsidiary Capital Accounts based upon the relative contribution of each of
those accounts to the taxable income of the Company upon which the tax (and any
interest or penalties) is imposed.

(4) Any expenses or liabilities attributable to the organization of the Company
or to the offer, sale or issuance of Shares, including but not limited to the
costs of compliance with regulations and requirements of the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission and the various states and other
jurisdictions of the United States as they pertain thereto, shall be allocated
to the Subsidiary Capital Account for the Common shares.

(5) Any expenses or liabilities of the Company not allocable in the manner
described in paragraphs (2) through (4) above shall be allocated among the
Subsidiary Capital Accounts on the basis of the relative balances of such
accounts as of the end of the fiscal quarter preceding the date on which the
expense or liability is incurred.

(6)  (a) Investment income, net of any direct investment expense, shall be
     allocated among the Subsidiary Capital Accounts pro rata based upon the
     relative Investment Asset Balance (as defined in subparagraph (b) below) of
     each such account as of the last day of the fiscal quarter preceding the
     quarter for which the investment income is being allocated. For these
     purposes, net investment income will include realized (but not unrealized)
     gains and losses.

     (b) The Investment Asset Balance of each Subsidiary Capital Account shall
     be equal to the capital and surplus allocated to such account, increased
     by:

          (i) the unearned portions of the written premiums that have been
          collected by the Company and allocated to such account as of the last
          day of the fiscal quarter preceding the quarter for which the income
          is being allocated, net of any applicable commissions and taxes;

          (ii) the outstanding loss reserves attributable to such account as of
          the last day of the fiscal quarter preceding the quarter for which the
          income is being allocated; and

          (iii) any other outstanding liability that has been charged to such
          account as of the last day of the fiscal quarter preceding the quarter
          for which the income is being allocated.

(7)  (a) If, after the credits and charges described in paragraphs (1) through
     (6) above are made to the Subsidiary Capital Accounts there exists a
     deficit in one or more of such accounts, then each such deficit will be
     allocated to and charged against:

          (i) first, the Subsidiary Capital Account for the Common shares to the
          extent of Restricted Earned Surplus;

          (ii) then, any remaining unallocated deficit to the Subsidiary Capital
          Accounts for the Shares, pro rata, based upon the relative earned
          premiums allocated to each such account for the fiscal quarter for



                                       A-4





          which the allocation is being made; provided, however, that only
          accounts which have positive balances will be taken into account for
          the purposes of this allocation;

          (iii) then, any remaining unallocated deficit to the remaining
          Subsidiary Capital Accounts for the Shares with positive balances as
          of the last day of the fiscal quarter for which the allocation is
          being made, pro rata, based upon such balances; and

          (iv) finally, to the extent necessary, the Subsidiary Capital Account
          for the Common shares.

     (b) If, as a result of an allocation of a deficit as described in
     subparagraph (ii) or (iii) of paragraph (a) above, a deficit is created in
     one or more of the Subsidiary Capital Accounts, then the resulting
     deficit(s) will be further allocated in the manner provided in that
     subparagraph.

     (c) Although this paragraph (7) shall be applied in a manner that does not
     result in a balance in any Subsidiary Capital Account for a series of
     Shares that is less than zero, if any such account had a deficit that was
     allocated to and charged against the Subsidiary Capital Account of the
     Common shares pursuant to Section 3(1)(7)(a)(i) hereof, or to the
     Subsidiary Capital Account for any series of Shares pursuant to Section
     3(1)(7)(a)(ii) or (iii) hereof (after taking into account the provisions of
     Section 3(1)(7)(b)) after January 1, 1995, then at the end of any
     succeeding fiscal quarter for which that account otherwise would show an
     account balance greater than zero, such balance will be reallocated and
     credited:

               (i) first to the Subsidiary Capital Account of the Common shares
          until all reductions of such Subsidiary Capital Account for the Common
          shares under Section 3(1)(7)(a)(i) hereof with respect to said series
          of Shares have been restored, and

               (ii) then, to the Subsidiary Capital Accounts for the Shares, pro
          rata, based upon the relative amounts, through the end of the fiscal
          quarter preceding the quarter for which the reallocation hereunder is
          being made, of deficits that were allocated after January 1, 1995 to
          those accounts (whether under Section 3(1)(7)(a)(ii) or (iii)) from
          any Subsidiary Capital Account and that have not previously been
          restored, until all Subsidiary Capital Account reductions after
          January 1, 1995 under Section 3(1)(7)(a) with respect to the series of
          Shares from which the reallocation hereunder is being made have been
          restored.

(8)  (a) Dividends, payments upon redemption or liquidation (described below),
     and any other distributions with respect to shares of the Company will be
     allocated to the Subsidiary Capital Account for the class or series with
     respect to which the dividend, payment or distribution was made.

     (b) Where all shares of a series of Shares are repurchased by the Company
     pursuant to Section 4 below, or redeemed in accordance with the Company's
     procedures for redemption set forth in Section 3(6) below, the Subsidiary
     Capital Account for such series shall be terminated as of the last day of
     the fiscal quarter in which the unearned portion of premiums that have been
     ceded to the Company and allocated to such account becomes zero. Subsequent
     to the Repurchase Date or Redemption Date (as those terms are defined in



                                       A-5





     Sections 4 and 3(6), respectively), as the case may be, any positive
     balance as of the last day of any calendar quarter for the Subsidiary
     Captial Account of any repurchased or redeemed series of Shares, after
     application of the provisions of Section 3(1)(7)(c), will be allocated
     among the Subsidiary Capital Accounts of the existing series of Shares pro
     rata based upon relative earned premiums attributable to such accounts for
     the calendar quarter then ending and any net deficit will be allocated in
     accordance with the provisions of Section 3(1)(7)(a).

The allocations to the Subsidiary Capital Accounts described above shall be
approved by the Board, and when finally so approved all calculations,
allocations and determinations shall be final and conclusive and shall be
binding on all holders of shares of the Company for all purposes, including
without limitation any redemption of shares of the Company pursuant to the
Company's procedures for redemption. The Board is authorized to interpret and
apply the provisions of these Articles and to promulgate such additional rules
and guidelines as the Board deems appropriate to carry out the intent of these
Articles and such interpretations, rules and guidelines shall be binding on all
shareholders.

(9) For purposes of allocating expenses and liabilities (that are allocated
based on Subsidiary Capital Account balances) and investment income, and of
calculating the amount of dividends and of payments upon liquidation of the
Company or upon redemption or repurchase of Shares by the Company pursuant to
these Articles, the Subsidiary Capital Account for a series of Shares shall be
deemed to have been reduced by the outstanding amount of any advance of funds
made with respect to such series of Shares as of the applicable date for
determination of the balance of the Subsidiary Capital Account. For purposes of
this Section 3(1)(1)(9), an advance of funds is "made with respect to a series
of Shares" if the advance has been paid to one or more holders of Shares of that
series.

(2) PARTICIPATING SHARES

(a) If any Share shall be redeemed, repurchased or otherwise retired, it shall
return to the status of an authorized but unissued share of such class.

(b) A series of Shares shall be issued with respect to a specific MIC Mechanical
Account. Only one series of Shares shall be issued with respect to an MIC
Mechanical Account. A series of Shares shall be issued only to persons or
entities acceptable to the Board and certified by the owner(s) of the entity or
entities to which the MIC Mechanical Account relates. Certification will be
effected in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board from time to time.
No share of any particular series of Shares shall be issued unless all shares of
such series are issued.

(c) Each outstanding Share shall entitle the registered holder of record of such
Share to dividends in accordance with the rules set forth in Section 3(5) of
these Articles.

(d) The holders of Shares shall among them have the right to elect one director
of the Company and shall otherwise have only such voting rights as are
specifically provided herein. On all such matters each share shall entitle the
registered holder thereof to one vote.

(e) The rights associated with any Shares of a series shall be identical to the
rights associated with all other Shares of the same series.



                                       A-6





(3) COMMON SHARES

(a) Each outstanding Common share shall entitle the registered holder of such
shares to dividends in accordance with the rules set forth in Section 3(5) of
these Articles.

(b) Each outstanding Common share shall entitle the registered holder thereof to
one vote per share on all resolutions of the Company other than as specifically
provided herein.

(c) The holders of the Common shares shall be entitled to elect five directors
of the Company, one of whom must be a resident citizen of Barbados.

(4) LIQUIDATION

The Company may be liquidated upon the vote of the holders of at least
seventy-five percent (75%) of the Shares. In the event of any voluntary or
involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the
Company, after payment of all liabilities of the Company, each holder of Shares
of a series shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to his share (based on
his proportionate ownership of such series) of the Subsidiary Capital Account
balance related to his series of Shares before any distribution of the assets of
the Company shall be made to holders of the Common shares. After such payment
shall have been made in full to the holders of the outstanding Shares, or funds
necessary for such payment shall have been set aside in trust for the account of
the holders of the outstanding Shares so as to be available therefor, the
holders of the outstanding Shares shall be entitled to no further participation
in the distribution of the assets of the Company, and the remaining assets of
the Company, if any, shall be divided and distributed among the holders of the
Common shares then outstanding pro rata based on their respective shares. A
consolidation or merger of the Company, or sale or transfer of all or
substantially all its assets, or any purchase or redemption of shares of the
Company of any class or series, shall not be regarded as a "liquidation,
dissolution, or winding up" within the meaning of this paragraph.

(5) DIVIDENDS

(a) Subject to the following paragraphs, dividends may be paid at the discretion
of the Board.

(b) Dividends, payable in cash or such other property as the Board may
determine, on a series of Shares or on Common shares, shall be declared and
payable only if the Company shall have, after giving effect to the dividend,
sufficient net assets, without regard to any Letter of Credit or Guarantee, to
meet the general business solvency margin prescribed by the Exempt Insurance Act
and Section 51 of the Act; provided that dividends with respect to any series of
Shares may be paid only out of earned surplus attributable to the Subsidiary
Capital Account identified with those Shares, and only to the extent that, after
giving effect to the dividend, the capital and surplus identified with that
Subsidiary Capital Account (without regard to any Guarantee or Letter of Credit)
would meet its pro rata share, based on allocable premium income, of the minimum
net assets required of the Company under the Exempt Insurance Act. Subject to
the right of the holders of Shares to receive minimum dividends pursuant to the
following paragraph, to the extent a dividend is declared on the Shares, it
shall be declared and paid subject to the foregoing limitations for each series
of Shares as a percentage of the net income for the preceding calendar year
and/or earned surplus as of the end of the preceding calendar year, attributable
to each



                                       A-7





series, provided that such percentage may vary among series of Shares with the
level of net income and/or earned surplus. Dividends shall only be declared and
paid on Common shares to the extent that the earned surplus attributable to
Common shares exceeds Restricted Earned Surplus.

(c) Subject to the preceding paragraph, the holders of the Shares of each series
shall be entitled to receive minimum annual dividends, payable annually within
each fiscal year, in cash or such other property as the Board may determine. The
minimum annual dividend payable on each Share shall be such Share's pro rata
portion of an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of the net income, if any,
for the preceding fiscal year attributable to the Subsidiary Capital Account
associated with the series of which that Share is a part. If a holder of Shares
receives no dividend or a limited dividend in any annual period as a result of
the limitations set forth in the preceding paragraph, any unpaid portion of the
minimum dividend otherwise payable pursuant to this paragraph shall not become
payable pursuant to this paragraph in any subsequent year.

(d) In no event shall any dividend whatever be paid upon or declared or set
apart for the Common shares, unless and until all minimum annual dividends
required to be paid on the then outstanding Shares for the then current period
shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment.

(6) REDEMPTION

The Common shares are non-redeemable. Subject to compliance with any applicable
statute or act the company may redeem any of its issued and outstanding Shares
if all Shares of the series involved are redeemed and the redemption of such
Shares is approved by a majority of the Board, provided that the Director
representing holders of the Shares votes in favor of the redemption.

The redemption of Shares shall be effective on such future date as determined by
the Board, which shall be no later than the last business day of the calendar
year in which the redemption was approved by the Board. Such date is herein
called the "Redemption Date."

The consideration payable to the holders of redeemed Shares shall be the
Subsidiary Capital Account balance for the series of such Shares as of the
Redemption Date, as adjusted by the Board to reflect any contingent liabilities
allocable to such account. Such consideration shall be paid within five (5)
months of the Redemption Date, provided that the holder(s) of the redeemed
Shares shall have delivered to the Company, certificates representing the Shares
being redeemed duly endorsed and accompanied by such other documents as the
Company may require. Such consideration shall bear interest from the Redemption
Date until the earlier of the date of payment or the date that is five (5)
months from the Redemption Date, at a rate equal to the rate of interest paid on
26-week United States Treasury Bills for the issue following the Redemption
Date.

Upon redemption of the Shares as aforesaid, the holder(s) thereof shall cease to
have any further interest in the shares being redeemed. Shares redeemed pursuant
to this Section 3(6) shall return to the status of authorized but unissued
Shares.

4. Restrictions, if any, on share transfers:

     (a) Subject to the exceptions listed below, Shares (whether owned by the
     original or any subsequent holder thereof) shall not be transferred in any
     manner unless the holder(s) has furnished written notice to the Company
     which notice shall identify the proposed transferee of such Shares. The



                                       A-8





     Company may elect, at any time within sixty (60) days of receipt of the
     notice of the proposed transfer, to purchase the shares identified in the
     notice required by this Section 4(a). If the Company elects to purchase
     such Shares, the price will be the balance of the Subsidiary Capital
     Account related to such series of Shares as of the last day of the fiscal
     quarter immediately preceding the date on which the offer to purchase was
     accepted by the Company (the "Repurchase Date") (or if less than all such
     Shares are offered, then the pro rata portion of such account attributable
     to the Shares offered). Payment by the Company may be deferred until the
     end of the fiscal quarter in which the offer to purchase was accepted by
     the Company. Shares purchased by the Company pursuant to this paragraph
     shall return to the status of authorized but unissued shares of such class.
     If the Company does not elect to purchase the Shares pursuant to this
     paragraph, they may be transferred to the party identified in the notice
     referred to above within sixty (60) days, subject to the requirements of
     the following paragraphs. After such further sixty (60) days, any attempted
     transfer of the Shares shall be subject to all the requirements of this
     paragraph.

     (b) In addition to the requirements of the preceding paragraph and except
     as provided in paragraph (d) below, transfers of less than all Shares of a
     series shall not be made unless the holder(s) has received the written
     consent of the Company thereto. A request for such consent must be made in
     writing and set forth the name(s) and address(es) of the intended
     transferee(s), the desired date of the transfer, and the consideration to
     be paid. The Company shall have sixty (60) days from receipt of such
     request to grant or withhold its consent to the intended transfer. If the
     Company fails to give its written consent, any subsequent transfer shall be
     void and of no effect.

     (c) Shares may not be transferred unless and until the Board has received
     such assurances of compliance with all applicable laws and regulations as
     it may deem necessary and the transferee has agreed to abide by the
     requirements set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement entered into by the
     transferor. Certificates representing shares of any class of the Company's
     shares shall bear a legend substantially to the effect of this Section 4 of
     these Articles.

     (d) A sale, gift, assignment, pledge or other transfer of Shares shall be
     exempt from the requirements of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 4 if
     the Board determines that the transferee or assignee of the shares is: (i)
     a member of the transferring shareholder's immediate family; (ii) a trust
     for the benefit of the transferring shareholder, or for the benefit of
     other exempted transferees described in this paragraph; (iii) if the
     transferor is a corporation, any shareholder of the transferor; (iv) if the
     transferor is a partnership, any of its partners; (v) a corporation which
     is controlled by or under common control with the transferor; (vi) the
     estate of a deceased shareholder or legatees and heirs of such deceased
     shareholder; (vii) a charitable or other qualifying organization described
     in Section 170(c)(2) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986;
     (viii) in the case of a transfer of less than all of the Shares of a
     series, a person who immediately prior to such transfer is a holder of
     Shares of that series; or (ix) a key employee of the entity with respect to
     which the Shares held by the transferor were issued.

7. Other provisions if any:


                                       A-9





     No holder of shares of the Company of any class, now or hereafter
     authorized, shall have any preferential or preemptive right to subscribe
     for, purchase or receive any shares of the Company of any class, now or
     hereafter authorized, or any options or warrants for such shares, or any
     rights to subscribe for or purchase such shares, or any securities
     convertible into or exchangeable for such shares, which may at any time be
     issued, sold or offered for sale by the Company.

     Amendment of Articles and By-Laws:

     The Company's Articles and By-Laws shall not be altered, amended or
     repealed and no provision inconsistent therewith shall be adopted, without
     the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Common shares and
     of the Shares present; provided that the rights associated with any series
     of Shares shall not be varied, unless the rights associated with all other
     series are similarly changed, without the affirmative vote of the holders
     of a majority of the Shares of each series present.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Paragraph 10 of Registrant's By-Laws provides for the indemnification of
Registrant's officers and directors (and such persons' heirs, executors and
administrators) against any and all judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement
and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by such person in
connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that such person is or was
a director or officer of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the
Company as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or member of any other
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or organization,
except with respect to any matter for which indemnification would be void
pursuant to the Companies Act, 1982 of Barbados (the "Companies Act").

Under the Companies Act, indemnification of Registrant's officers and directors
against any liability which would attach by reason of any contract entered into
or act or thing done or omitted to be done by them in performance of their
office or in any way in the discharge of their duties, if the same happens
through their not acting in good faith and in the best interest of the
Registrant is void.

The position of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding indemnification
for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 is set forth under Item
17, paragraph 4 of this Part II.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS

The Company hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales of the securities being
registered are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration
Statement:

     (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
     Securities Act of 1933;

     (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
     effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent
     post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
     represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
     Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
     decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
     securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
     deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
     may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission
     pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
     price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate
     offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in
     the effective registration statement.

     (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
     distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any
     material change to such information in the Registration Statement;

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act
of 1933 (the "1933 Act"), each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to
be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof;

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of
the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.

(4) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate



                                       C-4





jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
