PART I

ITEM 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

Acap Corporation was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware
on March 18, 1985 by the management of American Capitol Insurance Company
("American Capitol") to become the parent or "holding company" of
American Capitol.  Acap Corporation began operating in that capacity on
October 31, 1985.  American Capitol is a Texas life insurance company
licensed in 34 states and the District of Columbia.  American Capitol
began operations as a life insurance company on June 1, 1954.

Unless the context otherwise requires, the term "Acap" refers to the
consolidated group of Acap Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Acap primarily engages in the acquisition and servicing of existing
blocks of insurance policies.  Since September 1994, the Company has
marketed a small volume of final expense insurance and prearranged
funeral service contracts.  Starting May 1999, the Company began
marketing Medicare supplement policies.  Through its life insurance
subsidiaries, Acap maintains individual Medicare supplement health
policies and a broad portfolio of individual life insurance policies and
annuity contracts.

Fortune National Corporation ("Fortune Corp"), a Pennsylvania
corporation, acquired a majority interest in American Capitol in 1984.
In the 1985 reorganization that resulted in American Capitol becoming a
wholly owned subsidiary of Acap, Fortune Corp's majority interest in
American Capitol was exchanged for an equivalent interest in Acap.
Fortune Corp was liquidated during 1996, leaving Fortune Corp's majority
stockholder, InsCap Corporation ("InsCap"), a Delaware corporation, with
the controlling interest in Acap, approximately 46% at December 31, 2001.

Acquisition Strategy

Acap's strategy for achieving growth and profits is based upon the
acquisition of blocks of existing insurance policies through the direct
purchase of such blocks or indirectly through the acquisition of life
insurance companies.  By acquiring blocks of insurance directly or
through the purchase of other life insurance companies, Acap hopes to add
"new" policies to its books more economically than through marketing.

Generally, insurance companies can acquire policies in two ways; either
by "purchasing" them policy-by-policy through marketing, or by buying an
existing block of policies.  Purchasing an existing block of business has
the advantage that the policies have an established "history."  That is,
an existing block will have an established pattern of mortality and lapse
experience.  Also, the company selling the block of existing policies has
already absorbed the risks involved in marketing the insurance products.
In purchasing an existing block of policies, Acap's strategy is to set
the purchase price at the sum of the expected future profits of the block
of policies discounted at a rate of return in excess of Acap's cost of
funds.  Acap then attempts to improve upon the rate of return by
maintaining the acquired policies at a lower per policy cost than was
used in the pricing assumptions and by realizing a higher investment
yield on the acquired assets than was used in the pricing assumptions.

It also should be noted that the acquisition strategy has certain risks
and disadvantages.  Since the marketing of insurance products generally
involves greater risks than acquiring existing blocks of insurance, the
profit margins available through marketing may be greater than the
margins available with respect to an acquired block of insurance.  Also,
there are relatively few companies or blocks of business meeting Acap's
acquisition criteria that become available for purchase each year.
Acap's acquisition strategy requires Acap to maintain the personnel,
computer systems and physical properties necessary to accommodate large
growth phases without the guarantee that such growth will occur.

Acquisitions to Date

Acap (i.e., its predecessor, American Capitol) switched from a
traditional marketing strategy to the current acquisition strategy in
1984 in connection with the change in control and associated change in
management resulting from Fortune Corp's purchase of a majority of the
outstanding common stock.  Since 1984, Acap has acquired six companies
and five blocks of business.  Primarily as a result of this acquisition
activity, Acap's assets grew from approximately $64 million at December
31, 1984 to approximately $154 million at December 31, 2001.

Products and Markets

The policies serviced by Acap are primarily traditional whole life
policies, interest-sensitive whole life policies, term life policies,
stipulated premium whole life policies, flexible premium annuity
contracts, and Medicare supplement policies.

Traditional whole life policies are generally characterized by a uniform
death benefit and a level periodic premium throughout the insured's
lifetime.  These policies combine a savings element with insurance
protection.  The savings element, called the cash value, builds at a
fixed rate of interest and may be borrowed against by the policyholder
and, if the policy terminates other than through the death of the
insured, may be paid to the policyholder.

Acap's interest-sensitive whole life policies also generally have a
uniform death benefit and a level periodic premium.  However, with these
policies, the interest rate credited to the savings element of the policy
may be varied at Acap's option above a guaranteed minimum rate.  The
interest-sensitive policies also provide for a surrender charge in the
event that the policyholder surrenders the policy during the first ten
years following the issue date of the policy.  Further, Acap may vary
below a guaranteed maximum the amount charged against the policy for
expenses and mortality costs.

Term life policies generally offer pure insurance protection (i.e., no
savings element) for a specified period.  Such policies typically offer a
conversion privilege, a renewal privilege, or both.  Premiums typically
are adjusted upon the exercise of either privilege.

Stipulated premium whole life policies are characterized by a uniform
death benefit and a level periodic premium throughout the insured's
lifetime.  However, unlike traditional whole life policies, stipulated
premium whole life policies have no cash value.

Flexible premium annuity contracts permit the annuitant to make deposits
as the annuitant chooses, and allow the annuitant to make withdrawals at
his or her option, subject to deduction of applicable surrender charges.
The annuity balance earns interest on a tax-deferred basis at a rate that
Acap may change annually.

Medicare supplement policies are health insurance policies that cover
specified benefits that are not covered by Medicare.  Premium rates may
be changed on the policies within a state with the advance approval of
regulatory officials of that state.

From mid-1985 until September 1994, the Company relied exclusively on its
acquisition strategy and did not actively market new business.  Since
September 1994, the Company has marketed a small volume of final expense
insurance and prearranged funeral service contracts in the State of
Texas.  These policies are primarily written through independent funeral
homes.  Starting May 1999, the Company began marketing Medicare
supplement health insurance policies through independent brokers in the
States of Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana.

No single customer accounts for a meaningful percentage of the Company's
business in force or sales.

Competition

The life insurance industry is highly competitive.  There are over 1,700
life insurance companies in the United States.  Although Acap's
acquisition strategy is not the standard strategy employed in the
industry, Acap must compete with a significant number of companies, both
inside and outside the life insurance industry, when looking for an
acquisition.  Many of these companies have substantially greater
financial resources and larger staffs than Acap.

Acap also must compete with a significant number of other life insurance
companies to retain Acap's existing block of policies.  Many of these
companies have broader and more diverse product lines together with
active agency forces, and therefore, certain of Acap's policyholders may
be induced to replace their existing policies with those provided by
Acap's competitors.

Regulation

The insurance subsidiaries of the Company are subject to regulation by
the supervisory insurance agency of each state or other jurisdiction in
which the insurance subsidiaries are licensed to do business.  These
supervisory agencies have broad administrative powers relating to the
granting and revocation of licenses to transact business, the approval of
policy forms, the approval of premium rates on Medicare supplement
policies, the form and content of mandatory financial statements,
capital, surplus, reserve requirements and the types of investments that
may be made.  The insurance subsidiaries are required to file detailed
reports with each supervisory agency, and its books and records are
subject to examination by each.  In accordance with the insurance laws of
the State of Texas (the insurance subsidiaries' state of domicile) and
the rules and practices of the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners (the "NAIC"), the insurance subsidiaries are examined
periodically by examiners from Texas.

Most states have enacted legislation or adopted administrative
regulations covering such matters as the acquisition of control of
insurance companies and transactions between insurance companies and the
persons controlling them.  The NAIC has recommended model legislation on
these subjects that has been adopted, with variations, by many states.
The nature and extent of the legislation and administrative regulations
now in effect vary from state to state, and in most states prior
administrative approval of the acquisition of control of an insurance
company incorporated in the state, whether by tender offer, exchange of
securities, merger or otherwise, is required, which process involves the
filing of detailed information regarding the acquiring parties and the
plan of acquisition.

The insurance subsidiaries are members of an "insurance holding company
system" and are required to register as such with the State of Texas and
file periodic reports concerning their relationships with the insurance
holding company and other affiliates of the holding company.  Material
transactions between members of the holding company system are required
to be "fair and reasonable" and in some cases are subject to
administrative approval, and the books, accounts and records of each
party are required to be so maintained as to clearly and accurately
disclose the precise nature and details of the transactions.  Notice to
or approval by the State of Texas is required for dividends paid by the
insurance subsidiaries.

General

The Company does not hold any patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises
or concessions in connection with its business, except for the insurance
licenses of its insurance subsidiaries.

The Company expended no money on research and development during the past
two years.

Employees

At December 31, 2001, Acap had a total of 84 employees, of which 79 are
full time employees.  None of these employees is covered by a collective
bargaining agreement.  Acap believes that it has excellent relations with
its employees.

ITEM 2.  DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES.

The principal offices of the Company are located at 10555 Richmond
Avenue, Houston, Texas 77042.  The Company leases 30,634 square feet of
office space.  The lease runs through November 20, 2002.  The Company has
the option to extend the lease at then-current market rates for an
additional five years.  The Company's offices are suitable for the
conduct of its business and the Company has an option to lease additional
space in the same building to provide room for future growth.

The Company's investment policy prohibits making investments in real
estate without the prior approval of the Board of Directors.  There are
no plans to make any real estate investments in the foreseeable future.
If the Company were interested in making a real estate investment,
regulatory restrictions applicable to Texas life insurance companies
would prohibit the life insurance subsidiaries from investing in real
estate outside of the United States, in residential real estate, or in
any property, other than home office property, that exceeds 5% of the
insurer's statutory assets.

The Company owns and services first mortgage loans with aggregate
principal balances at December 31, 2001 of $763,128.  The investment in
mortgage loans was made primarily for income as opposed to capital gain.
Residential mortgages represent 89% of the mortgage loan balances at
December 31, 2001, with commercial mortgages constituting the balance.
In addition to the real estate collateral, approximately $632,000 of the
mortgage loans at December 31, 2001 are guaranteed by an individual that
the Company has reason to believe has a net worth well in excess of the
balance of the guaranteed loans.  The Company's investment policy
prohibits making new investments in mortgage loans without the prior
approval of the Board of Directors.  There are no plans to make any
mortgage loan investments in the foreseeable future.  If the Company were
interested in making a mortgage loan investment, regulatory restrictions
applicable to Texas life insurance companies would prohibit the life
insurance subsidiaries from investing in mortgage loans on real estate
outside of the United States, in other than first liens, or in any loan
that exceeds 25% of the insurer's statutory capital and surplus.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

There are no material pending legal proceedings involving the Company or
