                                     PART I


Item 1. Business.

     The Company, through Intercargo Insurance Company ("IIC"), its U.S.
insurance company subsidiary, is engaged in the business of underwriting
specialized insurance coverages for international trade.  This includes U.S.
Customs bonds, marine cargo insurance, professional liability insurance and
property and casualty insurance.  U.S. Customs bonds guarantee payment of
duties on imported goods and marine cargo insurance protects shippers from loss
or damage to goods in transit.  IIC's professional liability and property and
casualty insurance is marketed to customs brokers, freight forwarders, and
other service firms engaged in the international movement of cargo.
Additionally, IIC markets contract surety through independent agents.

     As a result of the Company's participation in a public offering by the
Company's Canadian subsidiary, Kingsway Financial Services, Inc. ("Kingsway"),
the Company's ownership interest in Kingsway was reduced from 100% to 47%.  The
offering was made in Canada in December, 1995, with the underwriters'
overallotment option having been exercised in January, 1996.  Kingsway
underwrites commercial nonstandard automobile insurance as its primary line.
It also provides property and casualty coverage in niche commercial markets,
and specialized insurance coverages for international trade.

     In the United States, IIC's products are distributed primarily through a
wholly-owned subsidiary, International Advisory Services, Inc. ("IAS") and its
insurance agency subsidiaries under the trade name, Trade Insurance Services,
Inc.

     IIC opened a branch office in London in April, 1994.  This office
underwrites marine insurance through independent insurance brokers.  In
October, 1995, the Company acquired Eastern Insurance Limited, a Hong Kong
licensed insurer and renamed the company Intercargo Insurance Company H.K.
Limited.  The Company plans to commence operations in Hong Kong in April, 1996.

     Unless the context otherwise requires, the term the "Company" shall mean
Intercargo Corporation and/or its subsidiaries.

U.S. CUSTOMS BONDS

     U.S. Customs bonds guarantee that the importer will pay all attendant
duties and taxes at the time of entry of merchandise, pay any supplemental
duties assessed and

   3
                                      
observe the laws governing imports.  U.S. Customs bonds are required by the
U.S. Customs Service ("Customs") from virtually all importers of merchandise
into the United States.  U.S. Customs bonds facilitate the flow of goods by
permitting importers to take possession of such goods prior to final
determination of Customs duties and of related regulatory issues.

     U.S. Customs bonds are of two types, either continuous or single
transaction.  The required bond amounts are set by Customs directives.
Continuous bond amounts are set on an annual basis at 10% of the duties paid by
the importer to Customs in the previous calendar year.  Approximately 11% of
the bonds written by the Company in 1995 were continuous bonds, but continuous
bonds represented approximately 57% of the premiums earned by the Company in
1995.

     The average duty payment required on an import shipment, which is payable
by the importer within ten days of entry, is approximately 5% of the value of
the shipment.  However, if Customs disagrees with the importer's classification
or valuation of the shipment, the importer will be required to pay additional
duty.  Customs also is authorized to assess fines and damages against importers
which fail to comply with certain import laws and regulations.  These laws and
regulations include import quota restrictions, labeling laws, Food and Drug
Administration regulations and the regulations of other government agencies.
Although the importer remains liable for these adjustments, fines and damages,
Customs makes demand for payment upon the insurance company that issued the
bond in the event of a default by the importer.

     The Company carefully evaluates the information available from its
database and operating experience in establishing its underwriting parameters.
All U.S. Customs bond risks must meet these parameters or be specifically
approved by designated underwriters.  This evaluation is based on a number of
factors including the size of the U.S. Customs bond, the financial strength of
the importer, the type of transaction, the type of commodity, the commodity's
country of origin and the importer's loss history.  The Company has developed a
database which integrates information received from production sources with
detailed information received from Customs on a weekly basis.  The Company uses
this database extensively as it provides enhanced capabilities for underwriting
control and claims handling.  The Company also enhances its underwriting
selectivity by declining business written through subproducers which have
historically failed to file complete documentation with Customs in a timely
manner and through its understanding of the laws and regulations which affect
imported cargo.

MARINE CARGO INSURANCE

     A marine cargo policy issued by the Company insures the shipper or
consignee against physical loss or damage to cargo while in transit.  The
Company's marine cargo policies provide coverage for general commercial and
industrial goods of all types, but exclude among other things, oil shipments
and bulk commodities (such as grain 


                                       2
   4

shipments).  A small portion of the Company's marine business also consists of
overland carrier and warehouseman's cargo liability insurance.  Marine
risks are underwritten based on a number of factors, including type of
commodity to be insured (susceptibility to theft and damage), adequacy of
packaging, country of origin and destination, extent and type of coverage
required, method of transportation and shipping practices and loss experience
of the shipper and consignee.  The Company issues marine cargo policies
primarily for shipments from the U.S. to foreign ports, from foreign ports to
the U.S. and, to a limited extent, from one foreign port to another.  The
Company, however, endeavors to avoid coverage for troubled parts of the world.

     Marine cargo policies are issued by the Company for an indefinite period
of time.  The policy insures individual shipments for amounts up to the policy
limits at premium rates determined by the Company based upon the factors
mentioned above.  Premium written on individual shipments is considered to be
earned when reported to the Company.

PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY INSURANCE

     The Company provides professional liability coverage for customs brokers,
freight forwarders and other service firms engaged in the international
movement of cargo.  Professional liability insurance policies protect insureds
against certain claims arising from the unintentional errors or omissions of
their operations that result in financial injury to their clients.  These
policies exclude coverage for punitive damages and are issued on a "claims
made" basis, which means that claims involving alleged negligent acts must be
reported during the stated policy term.  The Company's professional liability
program has been endorsed by the National Customs Brokers and Forwarders
Association of America since 1989.

     The Company introduced a modified version of its professional liability
coverage in 1993.  This coverage, referred to as international transit
liability (ITL) insurance, includes marine legal liability insurance in
addition to professional liability.  IIC is the first U.S. based insurance
company to offer this type of coverage.  The program was developed to compete
in new international markets.  Unlike the traditional professional liability
policy, this policy is issued on an "occurrence" basis which means the covered
proximate cause of loss must occur during the policy period.

NONSTANDARD AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE

     Kingsway sells commercial and individual automobile insurance for insureds
who cannot meet the underwriting criteria of the standard auto market.
Kingsway has established underwriting criteria which it applies to further
categorize nonstandard automobile insurance risks to identify appropriate risks
for direct coverage and to determine appropriate rates.  Generally, the higher
loss frequency of nonstandard risks is reflected in surcharged rates.
Historically, Kingsway has written substantially all of 

                                      3
   5

its automobile  insurance in Ontario and, to a lesser extent, in Alberta, New
Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Quebec.


OTHER PROPERTY AND CASUALTY INSURANCE

     The Company markets commercial property and casualty products to customs
brokers, freight forwarders and other service firms engaged in the
international movement of cargo.  The Company is authorized to write these
coverages in 47 states.  The product is designed to meet the specific
requirements of the broker/forwarder industry.


     The Company's property and casualty and marine units combined to offer a
truckers program in 1993.  The truckers program includes property and casualty
coverage, miscellaneous trucking bonds and cargo legal liability insurance.


CONTRACT BONDS

     The Company sells bid, performance and payment bonds for construction and
other types of contracts.  The Company also underwrites license and permit
bonds, miscellaneous financial guarantees, court bonds and specialty fidelity
bonds.

     The Company believes it has developed an industry leading data processing
system that ensures quality underwriting while reducing the costs and time of
processing business.

FOREIGN OPERATIONS

     See note 14 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information
relating to revenues, operating income and identifiable assets related to the
Company's Canadian operations, which information is incorporated by reference
from the Company's 1995 Annual Report to Stockholders.

MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION

     IAS has agency offices located in Atlanta, Boston, Charlotte, Charleston,
Chicago, Hong Kong, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, San Francisco,
Seattle and Toronto.  Together with a network of subproducers, IAS acts as the
principal insurance agency for substantially all of the Company's U.S.
insurance product sales and for its marine cargo and professional liability
insurance sold in Canada.  IAS's agency offices operate under the trade name,
Trade Insurance Services, Inc.  In addition to IAS and its subproducers, the
Company has appointed independent agents.


                                      4
   6

     IAS sells U.S. Customs bonds and marine cargo insurance primarily through
customs brokers, freight forwarders and other service firms engaged in the
international movement of cargo.  These service firms act as subproducers for
IAS and are compensated on insurance business placed through IAS.  Customs
brokers must be licensed by the U.S. Treasury Department to represent importers
and arrange for clearance of cargo through Customs.  Many customs brokers are
also freight forwarders which arrange for the shipment of cargo both in the
U.S. and abroad.  IAS also generates sales through conventional insurance
agencies and markets directly to large shippers of cargo.

     IAS sells the Company's professional liability and property and casualty
insurance directly to customs brokers, freight forwarders, and other service
firms engaged in the international movement of cargo.

REINSURANCE

     The Company follows the industry practice of reinsuring a portion of its
insured risks, paying to the reinsurer a portion of the premiums received on
all policies.  Insurance is ceded principally to reduce the net liability on
individual risks and to protect against catastrophic losses.  The Company
endeavors to place reinsurance with U.S. Treasury approved, A rated by A.M.
Best Company, reinsurance companies.

     Excess of loss reinsurance on the Company's Customs bond business is
provided through contracts with three reinsurance companies: Munich American
Reinsurance Company ("Munich"), First Excess and Reinsurance Company and
Employers Reinsurance Company ("Employers Re").  Excess of loss reinsurance is
a form of reinsurance which indemnifies the ceding insurer up to an agreed
amount against all or a portion of the amount of loss in excess of a specified
retention.  The Company now retains risks up to $500,000 per bond or per
principal.  Under the contracts, the reinsurers automatically assume the risk
of losses on the Company's bonds between $500,000 and $3,000,000 on any one
principal.  Bonds written for amounts greater than $3,000,000 must be submitted
to the reinsurers for acceptance on a case-by-case basis and the Company may
not fully reinsure all exposures above $3,000,000.

     Excess of loss reinsurance on the Company's marine cargo insurance is
provided through a reinsurance treaty between the Company, Munich and Munich
Reinsurance Company.  Under the contracts, Munich and Munich Reinsurance
Company automatically assume the risk of losses between $200,000 and $5,000,000
on any one occurrence.  In addition, the Company has a facultative treaty with
Lloyd's of London and several smaller participants which allows it to write
policies in excess of $5,000,000 up to a limit of $20,000,000.

                                      5
   7

     The reinsurance on the Company's professional liability program is placed
with Employers Re.  The Company retains the first $100,000 of loss on any one
policy or occurrence.  The reinsurer provides reinsurance of $400,000 in excess
of the $100,000 retention and also provides $2,000,000 additional capacity as
needed.

     Reinsurance on the Company's U.S. other property and casualty insurance is
provided primarily through Employers Re.  The Company's net retention is
$100,000.  The casualty and liability lines are reinsured on an excess of loss
basis under the same facility as the professional liability program above and
the property lines are reinsured on a surplus basis.  Surplus reinsurance
indemnifies the Company by ceding a percentage of premiums and losses based
upon total insured value.

     The reinsurance program to cover contract and miscellaneous bonds is an
excess of loss treaty, which cedes losses over $250,000 up to $1,500,000, to
several reinsurers, including Kemper Reinsurance Company, Republic Western
Insurance Company, Transatlantic Reinsurance Corporation, Security Insurance
Company of Hartford and Generali (U.S. Branch).  A further $1,500,000 excess of
the primary $1,500,000 of catastrophic or accumulated reinsurance is also
provided on a quota share basis by several excess of loss reinsurers.

     The ceding of reinsurance does not discharge the original insurer from its
primary liability to the policyholder.  The ceding company is required to pay
losses even if the reinsurer fails to meet its obligations under the
reinsurance agreement.  The Company also remains liable for losses which exceed
the limits of coverage afforded by its reinsurance agreements.  In addition to
the per occurrence limits set forth above, the annual aggregate limit on the
Company's Customs bond reinsurance contract is $7.5 million and the annual
aggregate limits on the marine cargo reinsurance contract is $15.0 million.

LOSSES AND LOSS RESERVES

     Claims on the Company's marine, professional liability, automobile, other
property and casualty and contract bond lines are adjusted by Company
personnel.  Adjustment procedures include verification of the coverage,
investigation of the loss, evaluation of the exposure and final settlement of
the claim.  The Company's general policy is to adjust and settle claims as
quickly as possible.  For marine cargo claims, salvage and subrogation are
important factors in minimizing loss experience.

     Substantially all U.S. Customs bond losses are paid to Customs as the
party indemnified by the bond.  The Company receives periodic notices of
importer defaults from Customs in the normal course of business.  Because of
the nature of the U.S. Customs bond business, the majority of claim notices
received from Customs typically do not result in actual claim payments by the 
Company because of payment by the 

                                      6
   8

principal, adequate defenses of the principal or the Company with respect to 
the claim or correction of a non-compliance situation.

     The two major types of bond claims received from Customs are assessment of
additional duty and liquidated damages.  The Company's claim adjustment
procedures for additional duty assessments include identifying the bond related
to the claim, obtaining supporting Customs' entry documentation, reviewing
Customs' assessment of higher duty and contacting the importer of record in an
attempt to secure payment.  Claims for liquidated damages are more complex and
require the implementation of several claim adjustment procedures.  By working
with the Customs broker that filed the import entry and produced the bond, the
Company seeks to correct the non-compliance situation.  If compliance is not
achieved, the Company performs final adjustment procedures or makes payment.
The principal remains liable for all claims paid by the Company.  The Company's
policy is to aggressively pursue the principal under rights of subrogation on
any bond that results in a claim payment.

     In 1986, Customs began to automate its claims procedures, thus
accelerating the reporting of claims.  The Company has responded by enhancing
its own automation of claims data.  These enhancements, together with other
improvements, have enabled the Company to achieve greater claims resolution
through more timely pursuit of bond principals.  Additionally, the Company has
been preparing for a fully automated interface with Customs.  In January 1993,
Customs issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking Regarding the Automated Surety
Interface ("ASI").  This notice provides the preliminary standards and
procedures for ASI, allowing the Company to move forward towards more efficient
underwriting and processing.


     On December 8, 1993 the Customs Modernization Act ("Mod Act") was enacted
as Title VI of the North American Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act
("NAFTA").  The Mod Act contains several provisions which may affect sureties.
These include changes in record keeping, interest, automation and liquidation
procedures.  These changes in total may affect the Company either positively or
negatively depending on the final regulations and implementation.

     The Company maintains reserves for the payment of losses and loss
adjustment expenses ("LAE") for all lines of business, on an undiscounted
basis.  The determination of reserves for losses and LAE is dependent on
receipt of information regarding claims and the historical loss experience of
the business.  Generally, there is a lag between the time losses are incurred
and the time they are reported to the Company.

     The liability for losses and LAE is an estimate of the ultimate unpaid net
cost of all losses incurred through December 31 of each year.  Since the
provision is necessarily based on estimates, the ultimate liability may be more
or less than such provision.  These estimates include the anticipated recovery
of salvage and subrogation based on historical patterns.  Case reserves for
individual claims are generally not established for 


                                      7
   9

the U.S. Customs bond business because of the historical problems of attempting
to establish case reserves for small losses coupled with: (i) frequent errors
in Customs claims, (ii) lack of or erroneous documentation furnished to the
Company by Customs, and (iii) the experience of the Company that in excess
of 90% of all claims initially reported by Customs are either canceled or
settled by the principal. When there is sufficient evidence to document the
validity of a claim, it is promptly paid by the Company.  As a result, the
Company estimates its ultimate losses on U.S. Customs bonds by projecting from
its paid claim data.  The combination of paid loss projections and the length
of time to ultimate settlement adds a high degree of judgment to the reserving
process.  The reserves established for bond losses are regularly evaluated and
adjusted when conditions in loss patterns indicate an adjustment is required. 
The reserves established for marine losses and professional liability losses
are periodically evaluated against cases reported and adjustments to the
reserves are recorded as deemed appropriate.  Reserves for the Company's
automobile and commercial and property and casualty lines are established on a
case-by-case basis and include a provision for claims incurred but not yet
reported (IBNR). The individual case reserves are reviewed periodically and
adjusted as deemed necessary.  The following table presents Company reserve
balances for the periods indicated (net of ceded reinsurance):

Generally accepted accounting principles require insurance liabilities on the
balance sheet be reported without reduction for anticipated recoverables under
reinsurance contracts.  Statutory accounting practices continue to permit
reporting on a net basis.  The following table sets forth the reconciliation of
GAAP reported reserves to reserves net of reinsurance as shown above.

____________________________

(1)  Before reduction for funds held from reinsurers

     As indicated in the above tables, the Company has experienced adverse loss
development for policy years prior to 1991, and policy years 1993 and 1994.
Reserve 


                                       10
   12

deficiencies for 1991 and prior have developed primarily in the U.S.
Customs bond line of business.  Historical reserve deficiencies resulted from
several causes, including modifications in the administrative procedures
utilized by Customs in the claims assessment and collection area; the 
previously described computerization of the claims administration process by 
Customs; certain court decisions regarding claims administration procedures 
that were decided favorably to Customs and certain extraordinary losses 
experienced by the Company.  The extraordinary losses were related to a 
discontinued line of bond business for environmental and safety requirements 
for imported automobiles, a discontinued program for travel agents and a 
Customs determination on certain steel importations involving countervailing 
duty and anti-dumping issues.  (In accordance with Customs procedures 
operative at the time, these risks were primarily secured by many single entry
bonds.)  The aggregate cumulative losses on these items is approximately 
$5,500,000, net of reinsurance ceded.  The Customs regulations have been 
modified to restrict such aggregation of liability in the future.  Moreover, 
the database now permits the Company to track and control such aggregations 
on a more timely basis.

     In 1993, reserve estimates for professional liability developed greater
than originally estimated.  The Company's experience with a certain segment of
its insured population has been identified as the source of the adverse
experience.  Certain aspects of the Mod Act are expected to allow this group to
be able to limit its exposure to loss in the future.  Coupled with enhanced
pricing and underwriting control, the Company believes these changes should
result in improved loss experience in this area.

     As prior period reserve inadequacies became apparent, the Company took
several actions to strengthen its reserve posture by increasing its premium
rate, adjusting its current reserve practices and affecting lump sum increases
to the reserves.

     During 1995, it became apparent that the estimated unpaid claims for
liabilities established at December 31, 1994 on Kingsway's business lines would
exceed initial expectations and loss reserves were increased accordingly by
$4.0 million.  In addition, the reserves reported to Kingsway by the Canadian
Facility Association Risk Sharing Pool as at December 31, 1994 increased
substantially during 1995.  The Risk Sharing Pool was created by legislation in
Ontario to ensure the availability of automobile insurance to every motorist in
Ontario.  Every insurer writing automobile insurance is required to share in
these losses in proportion to their business in the Province.

     Also, during 1995, loss experience related to U.S. operations for 1994 and
prior suggested reserve increases amounting to $5.2 million were required for
the marine cargo, contract surety and other property and casualty lines.  These
increases were offset by savings of $3.1 million on 1994 and prior U.S. Customs
bonds reserve estimates.

     Claims experience tends to be dependent upon the frequency of claims
versus the severity of individual claims.  Severity exposures are the subject
of certain excess of loss 


                                       11
   13

reinsurance treaties as described above.  Until recent Customs' automation,
obtaining reliable information on the frequency of claims was difficult and was
further compounded by the historically long delays in Customs' claims
assessment and processing.  Currently, Customs forwards a computer tape of
outstanding bills for additional duty and liquidated damages to the Company on
a weekly basis.  This data is input to the Company's computer and used to
initiate claims handling procedures.

     The Company's bond and marine cargo losses are generally tied to the value
of the goods as of the date of shipment and generally are not adversely
affected by inflation; however, LAE is subject to the effects of inflation.
LAE is composed primarily of hourly fee costs for attorneys, adjusters and
survey firms.  Such professional services typically are subject to rate
increases at the discretion of the provider.  While the Company makes every
effort to control the rates and hours of service, it is imperative to retain
qualified personnel familiar with the business of the Company and the insurance
industry.


COMPETITION

     The insurance industry is highly competitive.  The Company faces
competition from bond underwriters, marine and non-marine insurers and numerous
other insurance companies.  These insurers vary in terms of size, quality,
operating histories and financial, marketing and management resources.  Many of
these competitors have substantially greater financial resources than the
Company.

     The U.S. Customs bond business is highly specialized and requires
significant technical knowledge in order to properly underwrite and respond to
claims.  Additionally, the automated processing systems which the U.S. Customs
Service has installed for its own use necessitate that surety companies also be
automated for claims.  In addition to the ability to use the data tapes, and
data base information, the time frames available for collection and payment
have been shortened, requiring sureties to respond on a daily basis.

     There are over 300 companies in the United States Department of the
Treasury's approved list of companies acceptable as sureties and reinsurers of
federal bonds including U.S. Customs bonds.  While there is no reliable data
available from which to determine the amount or volume of U.S. Customs bonds
written by these companies, the Company believes that it and one of its
competitors, Washington International Insurance Company, are the dominant
underwriters for U.S. Customs bonds.

     Many major insurance companies, agents and brokers compete for marine
cargo insurance business.  The Company believes that its ability to compete in
this market is enhanced by its relationships with customs brokers and freight
forwarders.


                                      12
   14

     The Company has few competitors in the U.S. for its professional liability
product and believes that it has the largest professional liability program in
the U.S. offering this type of coverage.  In Canada, alternative coverages are
marketed by competitors in conjunction with a broad form marine and liability
policy.  The Company developed a new form, the International Transit Liability
Policy ("ITL"), to be more compatible to Canadian market expectations.  The
Company believes that its ability to provide prompt, efficient service to
customs brokers and freight forwarders, as well as its expertise and
understanding of the risks involved in those industries, provide a competitive
advantage over other carriers in both its professional liability lines and its
property and casualty lines.


REGULATION

     U.S. Federal Regulation.  U.S. Customs bonds are sold pursuant to federal
regulations requiring virtually every importer of goods into the United States
to post a bond.  IIC currently maintains a Certificate of Authority as a surety
company qualified to write U.S. Customs bonds pursuant to federal law and
applicable regulations promulgated by the U.S. Department of Treasury (the
"Treasury").  The Treasury determines the maximum amount of risk retention per
bond for each qualified insurance company.  IIC is qualified to write U.S.
Customs bonds and retain an aggregate up to $2,237,000 of liability on any one
bond.

     Although no specific statutory requirements exist, the Treasury generally
recommends no greater than a three to one ratio of net premiums written to
statutory surplus for sureties licensed to write U.S. Customs bonds.  The
Company has met this guideline for the last five years.

     Insurance companies issuing U.S. Customs bonds and customs brokers selling
such bonds are extensively regulated by the Treasury, including an annual
review of their financial statements.  As a result of extensive federal
regulation, the Company believes that under the McCarran Ferguson Act, its U.S.
Customs bonds business is exempt from state regulation.  No state has taken any
action to require the Company's compliance with its licensure requirements with
respect to its U.S. Customs bond business.

     State Regulation.  The Company and its U.S. insurance subsidiary is
subject to regulation under the various state insurance laws where the
subsidiary is licensed, including each particular state's insurance holding
company law ("Holding Company Law").  Such regulation is designed generally to
protect policyholders rather than investors and relates to such matters as the
standards of solvency which must be met and maintained; the licensing of
insurers and their agents; the nature of and examination of the affairs of
insurance companies, which includes periodic financial and market conduct
examinations by regulatory authorities; annual and other reports, 


                                       13
   15

prepared on a statutory accounting basis, required to be filed on the financial
condition of insurers or for other purposes; establishment and maintenance
of reserves for unearned premiums and losses; and requirements regarding
numerous other matters.  In general, the Company's insurance subsidiary must
file rates for insurance directly underwritten with the insurance department of
each state in which it operates.  Further, state insurance statutes typically
place limitations on the amount of dividends or other distributions payable by
domiciled insurance companies in order to protect their solvency.

     Holding Company Laws impose standards on certain transactions between
registered insurers and their affiliates, which include, among other things,
that the terms of the transactions be fair and reasonable and that the books,
accounts and records of each party be maintained so as to clearly and
accurately disclose the precise nature and details of the transactions.
Holding Company Laws also generally require that any person or entity desiring
to acquire more than a specified percentage (commonly 10%) of the Company's
outstanding voting securities is required first to obtain approval of the
applicable state insurance regulators.


     The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) facilitates the
regulation of multistate companies through uniform reporting requirements,
standardized procedures for financial examinations, and uniform regulatory
procedures embodied in model acts and regulations.  Current developments
address the reporting and regulation of the adequacy of capital and surplus.
The NAIC has finalized its risk-based capital model act for property/casualty
companies.  At December 31, 1995, Intercargo Insurance Company's required
risk-based capital was $4,472,879; reported capital and surplus was
$26,638,852.


INVESTMENT POLICY

     The Company's investment policy requires that invested assets be comprised
of investment grade, fixed income securities of short to medium term.  The
Company does not invest in real estate or real estate securities, "high yield"
bonds or derivatives.  The Company's philosophy is to hold its investments to
maturity when feasible, but will redeploy assets when market conditions
dictate.  Substantially all of the Company's investment portfolio is comprised
of investment grade securities issued by the U.S. federal government, various
state and local governments and major U.S. corporations.

EMPLOYEES

     At December 31, 1995, the Company had 186 U.S.employees.  Of these, 31
were managerial personnel and 155 were clerical employees.  Except for 21
part-time employees, all such persons are employed on a full-time basis.  The
Company believes that it enjoys favorable relations with its employees.

Item 3. Litigation

     There are no pending material legal proceedings to which the Company or
its subsidiaries is a party or of which any of the properties of the Company or
its subsidiaries is subject, except for claims arising in the ordinary course

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Intercargo Corporation:




Under date of March 28, 1996, we reported on the consolidated balance
sheets of Intercargo Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and
1994, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity
and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December
31, 1995, as contained in the 1995 annual report to stockholders.  These
consolidated financial statements and our report thereon are incorporated by
reference in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year 1995.  In connection
with our audits of the aforementioned consolidated financial statements, we
also audited the related consolidated supplementary financial statement
schedules as listed in the accompanying index.  These supplementary financial
statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these supplementary financial
statement schedules based on our audits.

In our opinion, such supplementary financial statement schedules, when
considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as
a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth
therein.

As discussed in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company
changed its method of accounting for investments to adopt the provisions of the
Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities," at January 1, 1994.
