4.     Federal  Income  Taxes

     Income  taxes  do  not  bear  the  expected  relationship to pre-tax income
because of tax-exempt investment income and other differences in the recognition
of  revenue and expenses for tax and financial statement purposes.  At September
30,  2000,  the  Company  had a net operating loss carryforward of approximately
$132.6  million  for  regular tax purposes and an alternative minimum tax credit
carryforward of $33.0 million.  The net operating loss carryforwards will expire
in  2009  and  2020.  Alternative  minimum  tax  credits  may be carried forward
indefinitely  to  offset  future  regular  tax  liabilities.

     Federal  income  tax  expense  (benefit)  consists  of:

ITEM  2.    MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS
            OF  FINANCIAL  CONDITION  AND  RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS

Liquidity  and  Capital  Resources
----------------------------------

The Company is principally dependent on premiums and its portfolio of marketable
securities  and  the  investment  income  thereon  to  pay  claims and operating
expenses.  Loss  and  loss  adjustment expense payments are the most significant
cash  flow  requirement  of  the Company.  The Company continually monitors loss
payments  to  provide  projections  of  future  cash  requirements.

In  the  third  quarter of 2000, the Company registered an underwriting loss for
the  fourth  consecutive  quarter.  Although the Company's liquidity and capital
needs  have  been  adequately  met  by  cash flow from operations and investment
activities in this period, its long-term financial health depends on a return to
underwriting  profitability.  Corrective  actions  taken  in  the  third quarter
included  the  following:

-     Implementation  of  a  class plan revision for the California auto program
      effective  September  1, 2000, which rebalances rating factors to create a
      more  accurately  priced  book  of  business.

-     A  6.4%  rate  increase  was  approved  by  the  California  Department of
      Insurance,  which  is  being  implemented  on  November  1,  2000.

-     Implementation  of  a  20%  overall rate increase in the Company's Arizona
      program  effective  for new business on September 1, 2000 and for renewals
      effective  October  1,  2000.

-     Filing  for  rate  changes  for  our  Oregon  and  Washington  programs.

-     Continuation  of  reduced  advertising  spending pending implementation of
      corrective  rate  changes.

Funds  required  by  the  Company to pay dividends, debt obligations and holding
company  expenses are provided by the insurance subsidiaries. The ability of the
insurance  subsidiaries  to pay dividends to the holding company is regulated by
state  law  which allows the payment from earned surplus of up to the greater of
prior  year  statutory  net income or 10% of surplus without prior approval from
the state.  As of September 30, 2000, the Company's insurance subsidiaries had a
combined  statutory  surplus  of $527.2 million compared to a combined statutory
surplus  of  $660.5  million  at  September 30, 1999. The Company's ratio of net
written premium to surplus was 1.6:1 at September 30, 2000, compared to 1.2:1 at
September  30,  1999.

ITEM  2.  (CONTINUED)

Invested  assets  as  of  September 30, 2000, had a fair value of $911.5 million
compared  to  $988.6  million  at  December  31, 1999.  All investments in fixed
maturities  are  investment  grade.  Of  the  Company's  total  investments  at
September  30,  2000,  87.4% were invested in tax-exempt fixed-income securities
compared  to  85.6%  at  December  31,  1999  and  76.5%  at September 30, 1999.

The  fixed  maturity  available-for-sale portfolio is subject to decline in fair
value  as  interest  rates  rise.  As  of  September  30,  2000,  the  after-tax
unrealized loss on investments was $20.3 million compared to $40.5 million as of
December  31, 1999.  The Company's strategy has been to minimize the realization
of  these  losses  by  holding  the  underlying  investments,  to  the  extent
practicable,  until  they  regain  their  value.

In  September  2000, the Company exercised its option to prepay a $33.75 million
variable-rate  line of credit resulting in a pre-tax charge of $286,000 from the
write-off of previously unamortized debt issuance costs, which has been included
in  the  third  quarter  interest  expense  for  financial  reporting  purposes.

In August 1996, 21st Century Insurance Company of Arizona, a joint venture owned
51%  by  AIG  and 49% by the Company, began writing private passenger automobile
policies  in  that  state.  The  Company's  investment  in  and advances to this
venture,  which  is  accounted for by the equity method, totaled $4.2 million at
September 30, 2000, and are included in other assets in the consolidated balance
sheet.  The  Company's  share of the net loss of this venture was ($346,000) and
($693,000) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively,
and  ($61,000)  and  ($333,000)  for  the  same  1999 periods and is included in
investment  income  in  the  consolidated  statements  of  income.

Underwriting  Results
---------------------

Gross  premiums  written  in  the  third  quarter of 2000 increased $7.9 million
(3.6%)  to $226.3 million from $218.4 million in the same period of 1999.  Gross
premiums  written  during  the  nine  months ended September 30, 2000, increased
$27.2  million (4.1%) to $692.9 million from $665.7 million. Net earned premiums
increased $16.9 million (8.8%) and $37.6 million (6.5%) for the quarter and nine
months  ended  September  30,  2000, respectively, mainly due to the termination
effective  January  1,  2000, of the former 100% quota share reinsurance program
relating  to  the  homeowners  line.

The  Company  experienced  an  underwriting  loss  of $12.1 million in the third
quarter  of  2000  compared to an underwriting gain of $18.1 million in the same
quarter  last  year.  An underwriting loss of $27.4 million was incurred for the
first  nine months of the year compared to an underwriting gain of $68.1 million
in  the  same  period  for 1999.  The combined ratio increased from 90.5% in the
third quarter of 1999 to 105.8% for the third quarter of 2000, and from 88.2% to
104.4%  for  the  nine  months  ended September 30, 1999 and 2000, respectively.
Contributing  to  the change in combined ratio were the earning-in of a February
1999  rate  decrease,  an  upturn in loss frequency and severity trends, and the
impact  of  reserve  savings  in  1999.

Net paid losses and loss adjustment expenses increased $11.6 million (6.9%) from
$168.9  million  for  the quarter ended September 30, 1999 to $180.5 million for
the  comparable  period  of 2000.  For the nine months ending September 30, 1999
and  2000,  net paid losses and loss adjustment expenses were $533.7 million and
$541.4  million,  respectively,  an  increase  of  $7.7  million  (1.4%).

Net  incurred  losses and loss adjustment expenses (net paid losses plus the net
change in loss reserves) increased $42.4 million (28.6%) from $148.1 million for
the quarter ended September 30, 1999 to $190.5 million for the comparable period
of  2000.  For  the  nine  months  ending     September  30,  1999 and 2000, net
incurred  losses  and  loss  adjustment  expenses were $436.5 million and $553.6
million,  respectively,  an  increase  of  $117.1  million  (26.8%).

ITEM  2.  (CONTINUED)

Loss  costs  began  trending  upwards in the third quarter of 1999 after several
years  in  which the Company's underwriting results had benefited from declining
trends. The higher loss costs can be expected to negatively impact the Company's
underwriting results over the near term.  The Company has received approval from
the  California  Department  of Insurance for a 6.4 percent rate increase to our
California  auto  program  that  will be implemented beginning November 1, 2000.
However,  because  premiums are earned over policy terms for financial operating
purposes,  the  effects  of  any  rate  increases  would  not  be evident in the
Company's  reported  financial  results  for several months following regulatory
approval.

Net  underwriting  expenses, which consist of policy acquisition costs and other
operating  expenses,  increased by $4.6 million (18.3%) for the third quarter of
2000  compared to the same quarter in 1999.  Net underwriting costs for the nine
months  ended September 30, 2000, increased by $16.1 million (21.9%) compared to
1999.  The ratio of net underwriting expenses (excluding loan interest and fees)
to net premiums earned was 14.2% and 14.5% for the quarter and nine months ended
September  30,  2000,  respectively, and 13.1% and 12.7% for the same prior year
periods.  The  increase of this ratio from 12.9% in December 1999 to its current
level  reflects  the  Company's  continuing  investments  in  new  technology,
customer-focused  business practices and the impact of a 6.8% rate decrease that
went  into  effect  in  February  1999.

INVESTMENT  INCOME

In  the  fourth  quarter of 1998, the Company began transitioning its investment
portfolio  from  taxable  to  nontaxable  securities  in  anticipation  of fully
utilizing its remaining net operating loss carryforward.  At September 30, 2000,
$796.7  million,  or  87.4%, of the Company's total cash and investments at fair
value  was invested in tax-exempt bonds compared to $802.9 million, or 76.5%, at
September  30,  1999.

ITEM  2.  (CONTINUED)

As a result of the transition of the portfolio into tax-exempt securities, which
generally  have  a  lower  pre-tax  yield  than  taxable securities, net pre-tax
investment  income  decreased  13.8%  and  21.1% for the quarter and nine months
ended  September  30,  2000,  compared to the same periods in 1999.  The average
annual  pre-tax  yield  on  invested assets for the three and nine-month periods
ended  September 30, 2000, was 5.2% and 5.1%, respectively, compared to 5.2% and
5.5% for the same periods in 1999.  On an after tax basis, the comparable yields
were  4.7%  and  4.6%  for  the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
2000,  respectively,  compared  to  4.4%  and 4.2% for the same periods in 1999.
Average  invested  assets decreased 14.3% and 14.5% for the three and nine-month
periods  ended September 30, 2000, respectively, compared to the same periods in
1999.

Realized  losses  on sales of investments were $300,000 and $5.3 million for the
third  quarter and first nine months of 2000 compared to realized losses of $7.2
million  and  realized  gains  of  $3.3  million  for  the same periods in 1999.

RECENT  LEGISLATION

In  September  30,  2000,  California  Governor Davis signed into law SB 1899, a
statute  that  would  "revive"  certain insurance claims arising out of the 1994
Northridge  Earthquake  that  now  are  barred  by  the  applicable  statute  of
limitations, the policy contract or settlement agreements signed by the insured.
The  statute  is  effective  January  1,  2001,  and  would  provide  certain
policyholders  12  months from that date to file additional earthquake claims or
suits against the Company. The Company believes the statute violates federal and
state  constitutions,  which prohibit impairment of contracts, and is evaluating
its  legal options. The Company has diligently and systematically handled claims
from  the  Northridge  Earthquake  and  has  paid out over $1.1 billion in claim
payments.
