Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141")
and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets" ("SFAS No. 142"). SFAS No. 141 requires that all business
combinations be accounted for under the purchase method. The statement further
requires separate recognition of intangible assets that meet one of two
criteria. The statement applies to all business combinations initiated after
June 30, 2001.

SFAS No. 142 requires that an intangible asset that is acquired shall be
initially recognized and measured based on its fair value. The statement also
provides that goodwill should not be amortized, but shall be tested for
impairment annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate potential
impairment, through a comparison of fair value to its carrying amount. Existing
goodwill will continue to be amortized through the remainder of 2001 at which
time amortization will cease and the Company will perform a transitional
goodwill impairment test. SFAS No. 142 is effective for fiscal periods beginning
after December 15, 2001. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the
new accounting standards on existing goodwill and other intangible assets. While
the ultimate impact of the new accounting standards has yet to be determined,
goodwill amortizations expense for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was
$281,000.

Results of Operations

Total revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 2001 increased 68.7% to
$35.3 million from $20.9 million in the comparable 2000 period. Total revenues
for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001 increased 64.7% to $63.6 million
from $38.6 million for the same prior year period. The increase in total revenue
for the three-month and six-month periods is a result of the interest rate
decreases beginning in late 2000, caused by actions taken by the Federal Reserve
Board resulting in the significant increase in refinancing and resale
transactions and the increase of the Company's order count and premium volume.

Net Title Service Revenue. Net title service revenue increased $8.8 million, or
78.0% to $20.0 million from $11.2 million, and $13.8 million or 66.1% to $34.8
million from $20.9 million, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June
30, 2001, respectively, as the result of an increase in closed title orders and
the increase in the refinance business. For the three and six-month periods
ended June 30, 2001 the average fee per file decreased to $849 and $838 compared
with $954 and $915 in the comparable 2000 period. The fee per file decrease is
indicative of a change in the mix of title orders closing in a refinance driven
market compared to the higher fee per file resale business.

The following table depicts monthly title and escrow orders opened and closed
for the first and second quarter of 2000 and the first and second quarter of
2001.

</TABLE>

Escrow Fees. Escrow fees for the second quarter of 2001 increased $3.0 million,
or 52.1% to $8.7 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, escrow fees
were $15.5 million, an increase of $4.9 million, or 47.0%. Escrow fees are
primarily related to title insurance activity generated by the Company's direct
operations. The increase in escrow fees is primarily the result of market
conditions relating to refinance activity largely fueled by continued interest
rate decreases.

Other Service Charges. Other service charges relate partly to the level and mix
of business, as well as the performance of certain ancillary service businesses.
Other service charges for the second quarter of 2001 increased $2.6 million, or
69.0% to $6.3 million from $3.7 million in the comparable 2000 period. The
increase in the three-month period ended June 30, 2001 is attributed to the
Company's strategy to strengthen its ancillary service business. Other services
charges totaled $11.7 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, an
increase of $5.1 million, or 77.7% from other service charges of $6.6 million
for the 2000 period. The Company continues to leverage its core title and escrow
businesses and national presence to successfully expand ancillary service
businesses.

Investment Income. Investment and interest income are primarily a function of
securities markets and interest rates and the amount of cash available for
investment. The Company strengthened its balance sheet with the acquisition of
National Title Insurance of New York, Inc ("National") and shifted to a fixed
income portfolio. Investment income in the second quarter of 2001 increased
$52,000 or 21.9% to $289,000 from $237,000 in the corresponding 2000 period. The
slight increase in investment and interest income earned in the second quarter
ended June 30, 2001 is primarily the result of an increase in average invested
assets. Investment and interest income for the six-month period ended June 30,
2001 totaled $1.6 million compared with $518,000 in the same 2000 period. The
significant increase of $1.1 million resulted from the gain on sale of a block
of equity securities at the quoted market price.

The Company's operating expenses consist primarily of personnel and other
operating expenses, which are incurred as orders are received and processed. Net
title service revenue and certain other fees are not recognized as income until
the transaction closes. As a result, revenue lags approximately 60-90 days
behind expenses and therefore gross margins may fluctuate.

Personnel Costs. Personnel costs include base salaries, commissions and bonuses
paid to employees and are the most significant operating expense incurred by the
Company. Personnel costs, as a percentage of total revenue, exclusive of
investment income, decreased to 53.9% for the three-month period ended June 30,
2001 compared with 61.4% for the corresponding period in 2000. The decrease in
personnel costs for the three-month period ended June 30, 2001 is the result of
the Company's ability to adjust staffing levels and respond as necessary to
prevailing market conditions. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and
2000, personnel expenses as a percentage of total revenue were 56.0% and 64.4%,
respectively. Personnel costs totaled $18.8 million and $12.7 million for the
three-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively and $34.7 million
and $24.5 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000,
respectively. These expenses fluctuate with the level of orders opened and
closed and the mix of revenue.

Other Operating Expenses. Other operating expenses consist of facilities
expenses, escrow losses, postage and courier services, data processing expense,
general insurance, trade and notes receivable allowance and depreciation. Other
operating expense decreased as a percentage of total revenue, exclusive of
investment income, to 24.0% in the three-month period ended June 30, 2001,
compared with 27.4% for the corresponding 2000 period. Other operating expenses
as a percentage of total revenue decreased to 24.6% for the six-month period
ended June 30, 2001 compared with 28.8% for the corresponding 2000 period. Other
operating expenses totaled $8.4 million and $5.7 million, for the three-month
periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. For the six-month periods
ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, other operating expenses totaled $15.2 million and
$11.0 million, respectively. The Company maintains aggressive cost control
programs in order to keep operating expenses consistent with levels of revenue;
however, certain fixed costs are incurred regardless of revenue levels,
resulting in quarter over quarter and year over year percentage fluctuations.

Title Plant Rent and Maintenance Expense. Title plant rent and maintenance
expense totaled $2.3 million and $1.4 million for the three-month periods ended
June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and $4.0 million and $2.6 million for the
six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Title plant rent
and maintenance expense slightly decreased as a percentage of total revenue,
exclusive of investment income, to 6.5% from 7.0% in the three-month periods
ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and to 6.5% and 6.8% of total
revenues for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000. The decrease in
title plant expense is primarily a result of renegotiations within several
counties in California and Arizona resulting in maintaining consistent cost
reductions for the Company.

Income tax expense for both the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30,
2001 and 2000, as a percentage of earnings before income taxes was 41.0%. Income
tax expense as a percentage of earnings before income taxes remains consistent,
however, any future fluctuations could be attributable to the effect of state
income taxes on the Company's primary subsidiary the wholly-owned underwritten
title company and the ancillary service companies; a change in the amount and
the characteristics of net income, operating income versus investment income;
and the tax treatment of certain items.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's current cash requirements include debt service, debt relating to
capital leases, personnel and other operating expenses and taxes. The Company
believes that all anticipated cash requirements for current operations will be
met from internally generated funds. The Company's cash requirements include
expenses relating to the development of National Title Insurance of New York,
Inc. ("National") business. While the Company presently has in place much of the
infrastructure (principally consisting of personnel) that will be used for this
development, management believes that additional cash resources will be
required. Cash requirements for the development of National are expected to be
met from current cash balances and internally generated funds.

One source of the Company's funds is distributions from its subsidiaries. As a
holding company, the Company may receive cash from its subsidiaries in the form
of dividends and as reimbursement for operating and other administrative
expenses it incurs. The Company's underwritten title company collects premiums
and fees and pays underwriting fees and operating expenses. The underwritten
title company is restricted only to the extent of maintaining minimum levels of
working capital and net worth, but are not restricted by state regulations or
banking authorities in their ability to pay dividends and make distributions.

National is subject to regulations that restrict its ability to pay dividends or
make other distributions of cash or property to its parent company without prior
approval from the Department of Insurance of the State of New York. At June 30,
2001, the maximum amount of dividends which can be paid by National to
shareholders without prior approval of the Insurance Commissioner is subject to
restrictions. No dividends, including any dividends paid in the preceding twelve
months, which exceed 10% of the outstanding capital shares can be paid without
prior approval unless after deducting dividends National has surplus to
policyholders at least equal to the greater of 50% of its reinsurance reserves
or 50% of the minimum capital required. Additionally, dividends are further
limited to National's earned surplus.

The Company's other subsidiary operations collect revenue and pay operating
expenses; however, they are not regulated by insurance regulatory or banking
authorities. Positive cash flow from the underwritten title company ("UTC") and
other subsidiary operations is invested primarily in short term cash and cash
equivalent.

The short-term and long-term liquidity requirements of the Company, the
insurance company, UTC and ancillary subsidiaries are monitored regularly. The
Company and its subsidiaries forecast their daily cash needs and review their
short-term and long-term projected sources and use of funds, as well as the
asset, liability, investment and cash flow assumptions for future projects.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Market Risk Disclosures

There have been no material changes in the market risk described in our annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company's fixed maturity investments and borrowings are subject to interest
rate risk. Increases and decreases in prevailing interest rates generally
translate into decreases and increases in fair values of those instruments.
Additionally, fair values of interest rate sensitive instruments may be affected
by the creditworthiness of the issuer, prepayment options, relative values of
alternative investments, the liquidity of the instrument and other general
market conditions.

Equity Price Risk

The carrying values of investments subject to equity price risks are based on
quoted market prices or management's estimates of fair value as of the balance
sheet date. Market prices are subject to fluctuation and, consequently, the
amount realized in the subsequent sale of an investment may significantly differ
from the reported market value. Fluctuation in the market price of a security
may result from perceived changes in the underlying economic characteristics of
the investee, the relative price of alternative investments and general market
conditions. Furthermore, amounts realized in the sale of a particular security
may be affected by the relative quantity of the security being sold.
