NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30,1995 (unaudited) A. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Registrant without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods shown. These statements are condensed and do not include all information required by generally accepted accounting principles to be included in a full set of financial statements. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements at, and for the year ended, December 31, 1994 and notes thereto, included in the Registrant's annual report as of that date. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 1995 presentation. B.

(the "Registrant") is an insurance holding company which, through its subsidiaries, underwrites insurance and reinsurance. The principal lines of business include professional liability, directors' and officers' liability, fidelity, property catastrophe reinsurance and other lines of property and casualty reinsurance. The Registrant conducts its business by operating an insurance company and managing insurance and reinsurance assumptions through two underwriting agencies. The First Reinsurance Company of Hartford ("First Re") is the largest subsidiary. Through affiliated subsidiaries, First Re provides insurance coverage and has entered into reinsurance treaties whereby companies cede a portion of their premiums, commissions and related incurred losses to First Re. The principal underwriting activity of the group is managed by a wholly-owned subsidiary, Oakley Underwriting Agency, Inc. ("Oakley"). Formed in 1993, Oakley underwrites directors' and officers' liability insurance and professional liability insurance principally on behalf of First Re and Virginia Surety Company, Inc. ("VSC"). VSC is an unaffiliated insurance company that maintains an underwriting contract with Oakley. The profitability of the property-casualty business is dependent on competitive influences, the efficiency and costs of operations, investment results between the time premiums are collected and losses are paid, the level of ultimate losses paid, and the ability to estimate each of those factors in setting premium rates. Investment results are dependent on the selection of investment vehicles, the ability to project ultimate loss payments, and the timing of those loss payments. Ultimate loss payments are dependent on the types of coverages provided, results of litigation and the geographic areas of the country covered. LIQUIDITY General convention in the insurance industry has established an informal guideline ratio of premiums written to capital that is deemed appropriate. Typically, this ratio provides that premiums be no greater than three times the capital and surplus of the company. The Registrant has maintained a ratio of less than $.40 of premium written for each $1.00 of its capital and surplus since its inception. Additionally, the Registrant must file certain reports with various regulatory agencies. These reports measure the liquidity, capital resources and profitability of the Registrant to insurance industry standards. Based on these reports, for the 1994 year and first two quarters of 1995, the liquidity and capital resources of the Registrant exceed the operating standards. 6 7 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION (CONT.) LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED) The Registrant's fixed investment portfolio has been structured such that the average maturity of the portfolio does not exceed three years. The length of time needed to settle claims from reinsured policies is influenced by the type of coverage involved and the complexity of the individual loss occurrence. Management believes that it has positioned its investment portfolio to ensure that it can meet its obligations without adverse deviation from its current investment objectives. It is also believed that the Registrant's current investment policies permit it to continue to take advantage of favorable changes that might occur in the investment marketplace. On December 30, 1993, the Registrant adopted SFAS 115 and classified all of its fixed maturity investments as held for sale and carries them at market value, because the Registrant will likely sell such investments prior to maturity. Non-redeemable preferred equity securities and common stocks are also carried at market value. Short-term investments are carried at the lower of amortized cost or market value. The net tax effected unrealized loss of $1,562,822 at December 31, 1994 improved to a net tax effected unrealized gain of $606,390 as of June 30, 1995, due to a favorable stock and bond market. Management does not plan to liquidate investments to fund operations or pursue financing activities, but will continue to manage the portfolio seeking the maximum total return while keeping the duration and credit profile at approximately the same historical levels. Following this policy, the Registrant realized $354,854 of capital gains from the held for sale portfolio in the first six months of 1995 by selling securities and reinvesting the proceeds. The Registrant and its investment advisors believe that, given the current uncertainties in the fixed income market, it was appropriate to realize these gains. This activity did not affect the liquidity or quality of the portfolio. 7 8 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION (CONT.) LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED) The following table outlines the respective reserve components and their balances as of June 30, 1994 and at quarterly intervals through the period to June 30, 1995.

In the event such reserves are deemed to be either excessive or insufficient, adjustments are made at the time of such determination. 8 9 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION (CONT.) LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED) For income tax purposes, the liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses is discounted to values less than those reported for accounting purposes. The effect of the discounting is to increase the amount of taxable income and current income tax liability. The tax based adjustments are more fully explained in Notes A and D to the consolidated financial statements of the Registrant in the Registrant's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994. Management considers the Registrant's current capitalization, investments and net reserves to be adequate to meet the Registrant's operating needs and to support the level of reinsurance premiums currently being assumed. Payments of future cash dividends are reviewed and voted on at regularly scheduled Board of Directors' meetings of the Registrant and its subsidiaries. In declaring the most recent dividend, the Registrant considered its current financial condition, with special attention to current income, retained earnings and its Stockholder Dividend Policy. These decisions, further, are based upon the subsidiaries' performances, taking into account regulatory restrictions on payment of dividends by such subsidiaries. The Registrant's cash flow in the first six months of 1995 reflects a decrease in net cash of $2,743,726. The net cash outflow is comprised of $3,608,269 related to cash used for purchasing of investments, and cash inflow of $1,123,834 related to operations. The prior year 1994 reflects a net cash decrease of $2,482,434 comprised of the purchases of investments of $5,618,248 and cash provided by operations of $3,419,227. The reduction in cash provided by operations is primarily due to the funding of loss payments and federal tax payments in 1995 at higher levels than 1994. As of April 1, 1995, First Re increased its net participation in the lower layer of the Oakley treaties and eliminated its participations in the two upper layers. The net exposure per risk will increase by less than 1% from $495,000 to $500,000 but will be concentrated in the first layer of coverage rather than spread among the policy limits of up to $5,000,000. The net premium writings will increase from approximately 44% of the gross premiums to approximately 70%. This change in participation will create a proportional increase in the commissions expenses and estimated incurred losses on the program. During the first quarter of 1995, the Registrant made a formal offer to acquire, in a cash transaction, AmerInst Insurance Group, Inc. ("AIIG"), a publicly held reinsurer of accountants professional liability insurance, at a discount to its book value. The proposed acquisition price is approximately $10.9 million. On June 29, 1995, the AIIG board of directors notified the Registrant that it considered the offer not in the best interests of AIIG shareholders. The Registrant is currently evaluating its options with respect to this matter. The Registrant is unaware of any other trends or uncertainties that have had, or that the Registrant reasonably expects will have, a material effect on its liquidity, capital resources or operations. Management feels that the Registrant's liquidity and capital resources are adequate to meet future needs. 9 10 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION (CONT.) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Earnings per share in the six and three months ended June 30, 1995, amounted to $0.88 and $0.38 respectively. This represents an increase of 15.8% and a decrease of 7.3% from the comparable periods of 1994. Earnings per share are calculated on a diluted basis. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1995 is approximately 16.4% higher than for the same period in 1994 ($2,029,000 vs. $1,743,000). Incurred losses and commission expenses increased proportionally to the premium increase, but favorable development in losses in the company's financial institution reinsurance programs continued to contribute significantly to the Registrants' net income. The 1995 second quarter net income is 7.8% lower than for the same period in 1994 approximately ($860,000 vs. $933,000). The favorable loss development recorded in each six month period was approximately the same, but underlying claims actions influencing the favorable development occurred principally in the second quarter of 1994. The 1995 development was earned uniformly in each quarter of 1995. Similarly, the realized capital gains, while being approximately equal for the comparable six month periods, were earned principally in the first quarter of 1994 and the second quarter of 1995. PREMIUMS EARNED The six month premiums earned as of June 30, 1995 increased 45.4% ($5,212,000 vs. $3,585,000) over 1994. This increase is primarily due to earned premiums from business produced by the registrants Oakley subsidiary, of approximately $4,203,000 vs $1,862,000 for 1994 on 125.7% increase. The premium growth reflects a 30% increase in the gross premium production and an increase in retention from approximately 44.0% to 70.0% of the gross premium, which occurred in the second quarter of 1995. Earnings from other reinsurance programs increased approximately 8.7% ($978,000 vs. $900,000) in the six month period ended June 30,1995. The increase was approximately the same for each quarter of 1995 with no major changes in the amount or type of risk taken. The six months of 1994 benefited from $811,000 of premium revenue from the financial institutions insurance program. The expiring premiums related to this run-off program were fully earned by the end of 1994, with most of the earnings being reflected in the first six months. 10 11 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION (CONT.) NET INVESTMENT INCOME AND REALIZED INVESTMENT GAINS Net investment income in the six months ended June 30, 1995 increased approximately 26.0% ($2,136,000 vs. $1,695,000). This was due to higher available interest rates during the six months of 1995 and a change from tax advantaged into higher yielding taxable securities during the third and fourth quarters of 1994. Net realized gains on investments in the six months ended June 30 increased approximately 7.1%, from ($360,000 vs. $336,000) for 1995 and 1994 respectively. The gains earned in 1995 represented repositioning of securities from tax advantaged to fully taxable to take advantage of market opportunities. In 1994, the Registrant realized capital gains as part of a strategy to capture a tax benefit that was scheduled to expire at December 31, 1994. This goal was achieved principally in the first quarter of 1994. Future realized gains will be dependent on portfolio positions and market conditions. Consistent with its investment guidelines, the Registrant will continue to invest for the highest total return possible while maintaining its portfolio's current liquidity and credit characteristics. LOSSES AND LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSES The six months ended June 30, 1995 reflected a loss ratio of 44.1% as compared to 40.7% in 1995. Favorable liability re-estimations of loss reserves on First Re's reinsurance assumed contracts issued prior to 1993 provided approximately $1,600,000 and $1,500,000 of reduction in incurred losses for the six month period ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 respectively. Incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses increased from $1,459,327 to $ 2,296,207, a 57.3% increase. The increase in premium earnings from the Oakley and other reinsurance operations also caused a proportional increase in losses incurred on these lines. The absence of catastrophe losses from the other reinsurance business also contributed to the lower loss ratio. The second quarter incurred losses for 1994 reflected most of the favorable development for that six month period. The principal reason for the 1995 quarterly increase in losses incurred corresponded to the increased premium revenue that occurred in the second quarter of 1995. COMMISSIONS EXPENSES The six months ended June 30, 1995 had a commission expense increase of approximately 78% ($1,308,000 vs. $735,000) from the same period in 1994. The three months ended June 30, 1995 increased 90.6% ($720,000 vs. $378,000) from the same period in 1994. The 1995 increase in commission expenses is proportional to the increased premiums earned. The effective commission rate on premiums earned in 1995 increased from 20.5% to 25.1% from the comparable period in 1994. The commissions cost increased due the change in retention levels on Oakley business at the April 1, 1995 treaty renewal date. 11 12 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION (CONT.) OTHER OPERATING AND MANAGEMENT EXPENSES Other operating and management expenses increased approximately 3.9% for the six months ending June 30, 1995 ($1,874,000 vs. $1,804,000) and increased approximately 1.9% for the three months ending June 30, 1995 ($1,024,000 vs. $1,005,000) when compared to the same periods of 1994. The Company continues to identify and initiate expense saving strategies as it becomes more efficient in operating its Oakley subsidiary and managing its runoff liabilities. The result of these efforts allowed the six month increase in premium revenue of 45.4% to be earned while only incurring a 3.9% increase in operating expenses. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES The six months ended June 30, 1995 reflected a 145% increase in the effective tax rate due to an increased amount of fully taxed investment income. REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT The insurance (and reinsurance) industry is being scrutinized by the Executive and Legislative branches of government as well as regulatory agencies. Items presently being given attention are individual state regulatory issues (i.e. solvency) and federal regulation of the reinsurance and insurance industry. It is not possible to predict at this time the impact that these initiatives will have on the Registrant's business. The Registrant has responded to, and will continue to respond to these regulatory challenges. Without an appropriate response, actions of regulatory authorities could adversely affect the operations of the Registrant. The Registrant will continue to monitor these developments and respond as necessary to the changing environment. 12 13 FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS INSURANCE GROUP, LTD.

(b) For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (2) of paragraph (a) of this Section, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the President of the corporation. To be timely, a stockholder's notice shall be delivered to the President at the principal executive offices of the corporation not less than sixty (60) days nor more than ninety (90) days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting; provided, further, in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than thirty (30) days or delayed by more than sixty (60) days from such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the 90th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 60th day prior to such annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made.
