Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

         Pursuant to an Asset  Purchase  Agreement  dated June 17, 1997,  by and
among the Company, its subsidiaries,  and Zenith Insurance Company ("Zenith"), a
wholly owned subsidiary of Zenith National  Insurance Corp., the Company and its
subsidiaries  sold  substantially  all their  operating  assets to  Zenith.  The
transaction was completed on April 1, 1998.

         In  accordance  with the Asset  Purchase  Agreement,  on April 2, 1998,
Zenith transferred $25.0 million to RISCORP and an additional $10.0 million into
an  interest  bearing  escrow  account  as payment of the  initial  and  minimum
purchase price. The final purchase price will be the excess, if any, of the book
value of the  transferred  assets over the  transferred  liabilities  assumed by
Zenith at closing.  On June 8, 1998, the Company's  representative  delivered to
Zenith a closing date balance sheet (the "Closing  Balance Sheet")  representing
the audited  statement of transferred  assets and transferred  liabilities.  The
Closing  Balance Sheet  indicated a final purchase price of  approximately  $141
million.  The  Closing  Balance  Sheet is subject  to review by Zenith,  and the
determination  of the final  purchase  price is subject to a dispute  resolution
process.  Accordingly,  the  ultimate  final  purchase  price  has not yet  been
determined,  and may differ  materially from the amount indicated by the Closing
Balance Sheet.  The final purchase price,  less the $35 million paid at closing,
will be payable in cash.
