The Company



Ambassadors International, Inc. (the Company) was founded in 1967 as a travel services company and reincorporated in Delaware in 1995.
Ambassadors Group, Inc. (AGI) represented the entire operations of the Company until 1996 when Ambassadors Performance Group, LLC (APG or the Performance Group) commenced operations. Ambassadors Services Group,
Inc. (ASG or the Services Group) commenced operations in 1998 and Ambassadors Technology Corporation (ATC or the Technology Group) commenced operations in 2002. On February 28, 2002, the Company

Authority Act.



In February 2005, the Company acquired

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued



The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2004 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial
statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. For further information refer to the consolidated financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.



Accounting for Stock Options



As permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the Company accounts for its
stock-based employee compensation plans under the intrinsic value method. Because all options granted under the Companys plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant, no stock-based
compensation cost is reflected in net income.



The following table presents the
effects on net income and earnings per share if the Company had recognized compensation expense under the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 (in thousands, except per share data):

Recent Accounting Pronouncements



In December 2004, FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based
Payment (SFAS 123R), which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS 123R supersedes Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees (ABP No. 25) and amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in SFAS 123R is similar to the approach described is SFAS 123. However SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to
employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 123R, pro forma disclosure of the impact of share-based payments to employees is no longer
permitted.



In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) approved a new rule for public companies which delays the effective date of SFAS 123R. Under the SECs rule, SFAS 123R is now effective for public companies for annual periods that begin after June 15, 2005. The
company expects to adopt SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006, using the modified retrospective method. Under this method, compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for
all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123R that remain unvested on the effective date. The Company is
evaluating the selection and use of an appropriate valuation model, therefore the impact of SFAS No. 123R has not yet been determined.



|2. | Business Acquisitions and Investments
|-- | -------------------------------------



In March 2002, APG acquired a 49% ownership interest in ITI. ITI develops, markets and manages meetings and incentive programs for a select roster of
corporate clients utilizing incentive travel and corporate meeting management services. The terms of the purchase agreement call for contingent payments through 2005 based upon actual income before income taxes multiplied by APGs 49% ownership
interest calculated based on a predefined multiplier. Total payments related to ITIs fiscal 2002 results were $2.5 million of which approximately $1.9 million was paid during 2003 and was allocated to intangible assets (license). The remaining
purchase price of $542,000 was paid during 2002 and was allocated to goodwill. Total payments related to ITIs fiscal 2003 results were $0.6 million and was allocated to intangible assets (license). Total payments related to ITIs fiscal
2004 results were $0.3 million and was allocated to intangible assets (license). In the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company wrote off the goodwill and unamortized balance of the intangible asset. As of June 30, 2005, the Companys obligation
related to ITIs fiscal 2005 results is estimated to be approximately $451,000 which has been included in accounts payable in the accompanying balance sheet.



License fees earned from ITI are included in the operations of Ambassadors and represent approximately $206,000 and $32,000
for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $305,000 and $133,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Company also recorded its proportional share of the earnings (loss) and management fees
from ITI of approximately $732,000 and ($44,000) for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $764,000 and $46,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, which are included in other income. At June

Virtual Event Organization, Inc. (Bluedot Software) out of Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Bluedot Software, located in San Francisco, California, develops, markets and distributes event portfolio management solutions for corporations and large

investment of approximately $21,000 which was allocated to purchased software. In December 2003, the Company consolidated the operations of the Technology
Group into its corporate headquarters in Newport Beach, California and accordingly wrote off the unamortized balance of the intangible asset and recorded approximately $389,000 related to the write-down of assets, lease exit costs and employee
relocation expenses due to the closure of the San Francisco office. At June 30, 2005, approximately $147,000 remained unpaid and is included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the accompanying balance sheet.



During the first twelve months following the closing, the Technology Group
was required to pay the greater of (i) 5% of the gross revenues actually received in each quarter allocable to the assets purchased, or (ii) $25,000 per quarter as the First Year Minimum Payments. During the second year following the closing, ATC
was required to pay the greater of (i) 5% of the gross revenues actually received in each quarter allocable to the assets purchased, or (ii) $15,000 per quarter as the Second Year Minimum Payments. As of December 31, 2004, Ambassadors had paid
$160,000 for the first and second year minimum contingent payments and recorded these payments as an adjustment to the purchase price.



On February 1, 2005, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of BellPort. BellPort, located in Newport Beach, California, is a marina company
operating facilities in both the United States and Mexico. The purchase was completed in February 2005 for consideration of $1,280,000 in cash and the issuance of 184,717 shares of the Companys common stock, of which 130,389 shares were issued
to related parties. In addition to the cash and stock consideration, the Company assumed a credit facility of approximately $1,568,000 which the Company paid off in full on February 11, 2005. In connection with the acquisition, the Company was
granted a twelve month option to purchase a 34% interest in BellPort Japan, a marina operator, owner and developer of waterfront real estate, including both residential communities and marina facilities, located in Japan. As of June 30, 2005, the
Company has not exercised the purchase option in BellPort Japan.



BellPort has a 50% ownership interest in Deer Harbor WI, LLC (DHWI). DHWI owns a marina facility in Deer Harbor, Orcas Island, Washington. The Company had recorded its proportional share of losses from DHWI of approximately
$36,000 and $73,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, which are included in other income.



|3. | Reinsurance
|-- | -----------



The Company reinsures property and casualty risks written by licensed U.S. insurers through its subsidiary, Cypress Re. The lines of business that are
being reinsured include commercial auto liability, commercial physical damage and workers compensation. These risks are associated with members of highly selective affinity groups or associations. Members whose risk is reinsured under a
program must meet certain loss control program qualifications. A member of a group must pass certain pre-qualification criteria that are part of the underwriting review by a third party.



The assumed reinsurance transactions are typically reinsured through a quota share agreement in which Cypress Re agrees to
accept a certain fixed percentage of premiums written from the ceding company and in general assumes the same percentage of purchased reinsurance, direct acquisition costs and ultimate incurred claims.



Cypress Re retains the first layer of risk on a per policy basis, which
ranges from $250,000 to $500,000 and the third party reinsurer (through excess of loss reinsurance) retains the next layer up to the policy limits of $1.0 million. Cypress Re retains losses up to the aggregate reinsurance limit, which varies with
each quota share reinsurance agreement and the third party reinsurer then pays losses in excess of Cypress Res aggregate reinsurance limit up to $5.0 million. Cypress Re is responsible for any additional losses in excess of the aggregate
reinsurance limit.

In 2004, the Company transferred its investment interest in two insurance programs to its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Cypress Re. On March 29, 2004, Cypress Re entered into a reinsurance agreement which incorporated the terms and conditions of the above interest of these programs. The quota share reinsurance agreement covered a retroactive
period from July 1, 2002 through March 29, 2004, as well as a prospective period from March 29, 2004 to June 30, 2004. The reinsurance agreement meets the requirements of SFAS No. 113 Accounting and Reporting for Reinsurance of Short-Duration
and Long-Duration Contracts and has both prospective and retroactive elements.



During 2004, Cypress Re entered into additional quota share reinsurance agreements. These reinsurance agreements represent participation in selective property and casualty programs. The reinsurance agreements meet the
requirements of SFAS No. 113. One of the quota share reinsurance agreements covers a retroactive period from January 1, 2003 through May 31, 2004 and a prospective period from June 1, 2004 through December 31, 2004. The other agreements contains
only prospective components.



Accounting for prospective
reinsurance transactions results in premiums and related acquisition costs being recognized over the remaining period of the insurance contracts reinsured. As a result, unearned premium reserves, deferred policy acquisition costs and ceded prepaid
reinsurance premiums of $6.5 million, $1.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively, were recorded on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2005.



Accounting for retroactive reinsurance transactions results in the reinsurer reimbursing the ceding company for liabilities incurred as a result of past
insurable events covered by the underlying policies reinsured. Loss and loss adjustment expenses are initially recorded at the estimated ultimate payout amount and any gain from any such transaction is deferred and amortized into income. Loss and
loss adjustment expense reserves are adjusted for changes in the estimated ultimate payout and the original deferred gain is recalculated and reamortized to the balance that would have existed had the changes in estimated ultimate payout been
available at the inception of the transaction, resulting in a corresponding charge or credit to income in the period that the changes in estimated ultimate payout are made. As of June 30, 2005, the deferred gain on retroactive reinsurance was $0.1
million and Cypress Re recognized in income $0.3 million and $0.2 million of the previously deferred gain in June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.



As of June 30, 2005, premiums receivable, reinsurance recoverable and loss and loss adjustment expense reserves of $2.0 million, $0.6 million and $1.8
million, respectively, related to retroactive reinsurance were recorded on the Companys balance sheet. The June 30, 2005 loss and loss adjustment expense reserves balance includes $0.3 million for incurred but not reported claims.



Cypress Re retrocedes risk to the ceding company under specific excess
and aggregate loss treaties. Cypress Re remains obligated for amounts ceded in the event that the reinsurer does not meet its obligations.



Premiums receivable at June 30, 2005 is comprised of funds held in trust, by the ceding company, of approximately $9.7 million and deferred and not yet
due premiums, from the ceding company of approximately $2.6 million. The funds held in trust primarily consist of high grade corporate bonds, government bonds and money market funds.



As of June 30, 2005, reinsurance recoverable and prepaid reinsurance premiums of $0.6 million and $1.3 million,
respectively, relate to a single reinsurer. Cypress Res exposure to credit loss in the event of non-payment or nonperformance is limited to these amounts.

|Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The following discussion of the Companys financial condition and the results of operations should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the
Companys actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, among others, those identified under Cautionary Note Regarding
Forward-Looking Statements and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.



Critical Accounting Policies



Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements
requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and costs and expenses during the period. We evaluate our estimates
and judgments, including those which impact our most critical accounting policies on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances, within the framework of current accounting literature.



Our
businesses are seasonal. The majority of our operating results are recognized in the first and second quarters of each fiscal year. Our annual results would be adversely affected if our revenue were to be substantially below seasonal norms during
the first and second quarters of the year.



The following is a list of the
accounting policies that we believe require the most significant judgments and estimates, and that could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions or conditions.



Revenue Recognition



We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service fee is fixed or determinable, collectibility is
reasonably assured and delivery has occurred.



Travel, Incentive and Event
Management Related



We bill travel participants, mainly consisting of
large corporations, in advance, and when cash is received it is recorded as a participant deposit. We pay for certain direct program costs such as airfare, hotel, rail passes and other program costs in advance of travel, which are recorded as
prepaid program costs. We recognize travel revenue and related costs when travel convenes and classify such revenue as travel, incentive and event management related. This revenue is reported on a net basis, reflecting the net effect of gross
billings to the client less any direct program costs.



Revenue from hotel
reservation, registration and related travel services are recognized when the convention commences. Revenue from the sale of incentive merchandise is recognized when the merchandise is shipped, the service has been provided or when the redemption
periods have expired. Revenue from pre-paid certificate-based merchandise incentive programs is deferred until our obligations are fulfilled or upon our estimates (based upon historical trends) that it is remote that the certificates will be
redeemed. These revenues are classified as travel, incentive and event management related. These revenues are reported on a net basis, reflecting the net effect of gross billings to the client less any direct program or merchandise costs.



Event management related revenue also includes software and technology related
sales which is derived from a combination of license and maintenance fees and services provided with enterprise software tools. The services provided include hosting of data, development and workflow configuration. Revenue from contracts with
multiple elements is recognized using the residual method in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition as amended by SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue



11



---

Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions. Revenue from development contracts is recognized in accordance with SOP 81-1, Accounting for
Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts. Such development contracts pertain to a combination of customization and enhancement programs of our event management software performed at the request of clients. These
contracts cover program periods of three to nine months and do not involve significant revisions to estimates due to their short-term nature. At March 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company did not have any receivables or contracts outstanding in connection
with any long-term development contracts. Revenue from contracts relating to only maintenance or hosting of data is recognized on the straight-line basis over the period that the services are provided.



Net Insurance Premiums Earned



Insurance premiums are recognized as revenue over the period of the insurance contracts in
proportion to the amount of the insurance coverage provided. The insurance contracts are typically twelve months in duration and are considered short-duration contracts. Unearned premiums represent the unearned portion of the insurance contracts as
of the balance sheet date.



Ceded reinsurance premiums relate to reinsurance
purchased (excess of loss and aggregate stop loss) to mitigate potential losses from severe adverse loss development, both on a per accident claim basis and in the aggregate. These ceded reinsurance transactions are recognized as a reduction of
premium revenue in the same manner in which the insurance contract is recognized as premium revenue.



License Fees and Other



Revenue from
license fees is recognized based on a contracted percentage of total program receipts recorded from the licensing source.



The Company recognizes revenue for marina management and related services in accordance with the respective management contracts.



Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs



Deferred policy acquisition costs represent those costs, commissions and other costs of
acquiring insurance, that vary with and are primarily related to the production of new and renewal insurance. These costs are deferred and amortized over the terms of the policies or reinsurance treaties to which they relate. Deferred policy
acquisition costs represent those costs directly related to the unearned premiums as of the balance sheet date. The Company considers anticipated investment income in determining the recoverability of these costs. At June 30, 2005, management
believes its deferred policy acquisition costs are recoverable.



Loss and
Loss Adjustment Reserves



The liability for losses and loss-adjustment
expenses includes an amount determined from loss reports and individual cases and an amount for losses incurred but not reported. We use an independent actuarial firm to provide ultimate projected loss ratios on the insurance programs that we
participate in. Such liabilities are based on estimates and, while we believe that the amount is adequate, the ultimate liability may be in excess of or less than the amounts provided. Anticipated deductible recoveries from insureds are recorded as
reinsurance recoverables at the time the liability for unpaid claims is established. Other recoveries on unsettled claims, such as salvage and subrogation are recorded upon collection.



Reinsurance



In the normal course of business, Cypress Re seeks to reduce the loss that may arise from catastrophes or other events that cause unfavorable underwriting results by
reinsuring certain levels of risk in various areas of exposure with other insurance enterprises or reinsurers. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with the reinsured policy.



12



---

With respect to retroactive reinsurance contracts, the amount by which the liabilities associated with the reinsured
policies exceed the amounts paid is amortized to income over the estimated remaining settlement period. The effects of subsequent changes in estimated or actual cash flows are accounted for by adjusting the previously deferred amount to the balance
that would have existed had the revised estimate been available at the inception of the reinsurance transaction, with a corresponding charge or credit to income.



Long-Lived Assets



Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment at least annually or sooner whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that they may be impaired. We evaluate recoverability using both subjective and objective factors. Subjective factors include the evaluation of industry and product trends and our strategic focus. Objective factors include our best estimates of
projected future earnings and cash flows. We use a discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair market value of each of our subsidiaries when performing our impairment tests. Assumptions used include growth rates for revenues and expenses,
investment yields on deposits, any future capital expenditure requirements and appropriate discount rates. We established reporting units based on our current reporting structure. For purposes of testing goodwill for impairment, goodwill has been
allocated to these reporting units to the extent it related to each reporting unit. Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment at least annually or sooner whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that they may be impaired. We amortize our acquired intangible assets with definite lives over periods ranging from 2 to 20 years.



Income Taxes



We account for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income
Taxes. SFAS No. 109 requires an asset and liability approach which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and
the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. In making such determination, a review of all available positive and negative evidence
must be considered, including scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and recent financial performance.



COMPARISON OF RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2005 TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004:



Revenue



Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was $7.8 million, compared to $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2005, the increase in revenue was primarily attributable to two factors: (i) improved travel, incentive and event management related revenue of approximately $1.6 million resulting from operating larger programs in the
second quarter of 2005 compared to 2004; and (ii) net insurance premiums earned increased approximately $1.8 million, as a result of increased premiums earned generated from additional insurance programs that were added in the second half of 2004.



Cost of Software and Technology Related Sales



Cost of software and technology related sales were $50,000 for the quarter ended June 30,
2005, compared to $22,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. The increase was due to the increase in event management related sales.



Selling and Tour Promotion Expenses



Selling and tour promotion expenses were $0.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, and were relatively consistent to the comparable quarter of 2004.



13



---

General and Administrative Expenses



General and administrative expenses were $3.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, compared to $2.4 million for the quarter ended
June 30, 2004. The increase was predominately due to personnel and related overhead associated with operating additional travel, incentive and event management related programs in 2005 versus 2004.



Loss and Loss Adjustment Expenses



Loss and loss adjustment expenses were $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30,
2005, compared to $0.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. The increase is due to the additional insurance programs that were entered into during the second half of 2004.



Insurance Acquisition Costs and Other Operating Expenses



Insurance acquisition costs and other operating expenses were $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to $0.5
million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in insurance acquisition costs and other operating expenses is related to the increase in net insurance premiums earned and the increase in total number of insurance programs operated
for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2004.



Operating Income



We recorded operating income of $0.9 million
for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, compared to an operating loss of $0.1 million in the comparable quarter of 2004.



Other Income



Other income for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was $1.4 million, compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The increase was a result of improved yields on our investment portfolio,
increased investment income on insurance reserves and increased income and service fees from minority investments.



Income Taxes



We recorded income tax expense of $0.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, compared to $0.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 was 39.5%,
compared to a rate of 33.6% for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to the increase in interest income earned combined with the change in our investment portfolio such that tax-exempt interest
income represents approximately 1% of our investment income for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, compared to 8% for the quarter ended June 30, 2004.



Net Income



Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 was $1.3 million, compared to $0.2 million for the comparable quarter of 2004.



COMPARISON OF RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2005 TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004:



Revenue



Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $15.8 million, compared to $9.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Cypress Re contributed to $4.4
million of the increase resulting from a greater number of insurance programs operated during the full six month period in 2005 compared to 2004. The operations of the Ambassadors segment increased $2.1 million due to operating a greater number of
programs combined with higher average-dollar programs in the first six months of 2005 compared to 2004. The travel, incentive and event management related segment of our business historically operates more programs in the first and second quarters
of the year.



14



---

Cost of Software and Technology Related Sales



Cost of software and technology related sales were $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to $35,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2004. The increase was due to the increase in event management related sales.



Selling and Tour Promotion Expenses



Selling and tour promotion expenses were $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, and were relatively consistent to the comparable period of 2004.



General and Administrative Expenses



General and administrative expenses were $6.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The
increase was predominately due to personnel and related overhead associated with operating additional travel, incentive and event management related programs in 2005 versus 2004.



Loss and Loss Adjustment Expenses



Loss and loss adjustment expenses were $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase
is due to the additional insurance programs that were entered into during the second half of 2004.



Insurance Acquisition Costs and Other Operating Expenses



Insurance acquisition costs and other operating expenses were $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in insurance acquisition
costs and other operating expenses is related to the increase in net insurance premiums earned and the increase in total number of programs operated for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004.



Operating Income



We recorded operating income of $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to operating income of $1.4 million in the
comparable period of 2004.



Other Income



Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $2.0 million, compared to $0.8
million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase was a result of improved yields on our investment portfolio, increased investment income on insurance reserves and increased income and service fees from minority investments.



Income Taxes



We recorded income tax expense of $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to $0.8 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2004. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was 39.4%, compared to a rate of 36.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to the increase in interest income
earned combined with the change in our investment portfolio such that tax-exempt interest income represents approximately 1% of our investment income for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to 40% for the six months ended June 30, 2004.



15



---

Net Income



Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $2.9 million, compared to $1.3 million for the comparable period of 2004.



Liquidity and Capital Resources



Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was
approximately $4.4 million, compared to net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2004 of $2.9 million. The change in net cash primarily relates to timing differences in the collection of current assets and the payment
of current liabilities combined with the increase in net income.



Net cash used
in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was approximately $23.8 million, compared to cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2004 of $11.6 million. The change is due to the timing differences in
reinvesting in available-for-sale securities and cash paid for acquisitions.



We do not have any material capital expenditure commitments for 2005.



The terms of our acquisition of Bluedot Software included minimum contingent consideration of $100,000 in 2003 and $60,000 in 2004. As of December 31, 2004, we paid $160,000, satisfying our minimum payments for 2003 and 2004. The terms of
our investment in Incentive Travel, Inc. (ITI) included contingent payments due in March 2005 based upon fiscal 2004 income. As of June 30, 2005, we paid approximately $286,000 based upon 2004 income. We have also accrued a payment due
in March 2006 of approximately $451,000 based upon 2005 income recorded as of June 30, 2005.



On February 1, 2005, we acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of BellPort Group, Inc. (BellPort). BellPort, located in Newport Beach, California, is a marina company operating facilities in both the
United States and Mexico. The BellPort acquisition was completed for consideration of $1,280,000 in cash and the issuance of 184,717 shares of our common stock. In addition to the cash and stock consideration, we assumed a credit facility of
approximately $1,568,000, which we paid off in full on February 11, 2005. In connection with the acquisition, we were granted a twelve-month option to purchase a 34% interest in BellPort Japan, a marina operator, owner and developer of waterfront
real estate, including both residential communities and marina facilities, located in Japan.



Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was $2.7 million and $5.0 million, respectively. Current period activity consisted of two $0.10 per share cash dividends paid to
common stockholders and the repayment of all debt assumed in conjunction with the BellPort acquisition. These payments were partially offset by the proceeds received from the exercise of employee stock options during the period. Net cash used in
financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2004 consisted of two $0.10 per share cash dividends paid to common stockholders and the purchase and retirement of common stock. These payments were partially offset by the proceeds received
from the exercise of employee stock options.



On September 2, 2003, the Board
of Directors authorized a new dividend policy paying stockholders $0.40 per share annually, distributable at $0.10 per share on a quarterly basis. During 2005, a dividend of approximately $1,016,000 was paid on March 15, 2005 to stockholders of
record on February 28, 2005 and a dividend of approximately $1,034,000 was paid on June 15, 2005 to stockholders of record on May 31, 2005.



We and our Board of Directors intend to continually review the dividend policy to ensure compliance with capital requirements, regulatory limitations, our financial
position and other conditions which may affect our desire or ability to pay dividends in the future.



In the ordinary course of business we may from time to time be required to enter into letters of credit related to our insurance programs and for our travel related programs with airlines, travel providers and travel
reporting agencies. As of June 30, 2005, we have issued approximately $10,458,000 in letters of credit related to property and casualty insurance programs which expire at various dates through 2006. As of June 30, 2005, we have issued approximately
$800,000 in letters of credit related to normal travel related business operations which expire at various dates through 2006. We have a $15 million line of credit to support the



16



---

outstanding letters of credit. Pursuant to the line of credit, we are subject to certain covenants, which include, among other things, a requirement for
unencumbered liquid assets. As of June 30, 2005, we were in compliance with these covenants.



Under Bermuda regulations, Cypress Re is required to maintain surplus greater than 20% of gross written premiums or 10% of loss and loss adjustment expense reserves. As of June 30, 2005, Cypress Re has $10.1 million
of contributed capital from us which is in excess of the required statutory capital and surplus of $1.4 million.



In November 1998, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of our common stock in the open market or through private transactions up to $20.0 million. In the
second quarter of 2004, we repurchased 300,000 shares for $3,675,000. We do not believe that any future repurchases will have a significant impact on our liquidity.



Our cash, cash equivalents and available-for-sale securities totaled $98.4 million at June 30, 2005. We believe that cash, cash equivalents,
available-for-sale securities and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated operating cash needs for at least the next twelve months. We continue to pursue further acquisitions of related travel and performance
improvement, service and other businesses, although no assurance can be given that definitive agreements for any acquisition will be entered into or, if they are entered into, that any acquisition will be consummated on terms favorable to us. We
could use cash and financing sources discussed herein, or financing sources that subsequently become available, to fund additional acquisitions or investments. In addition, we may consider issuing additional debt or equity securities in the future
to fund potential acquisitions or investments, to refinance existing debt, or for general corporate purposes. If a material acquisition or investment is completed, our operating results and financial condition could change materially in future
periods. However, no assurance can be given that additional funds will be available on satisfactory terms, or at all, to fund such activities.



Trends and Uncertainties



The results of operations and financial position of our business may be affected by a number of trends or uncertainties that have, or we reasonably expect could have, a
material impact on income from continuing operations, cash flows and financial position. Such trends and uncertainties include the repercussions of war with Iraq or terrorist acts, our acquisition of or investment in complementary businesses and
significant changes in estimates for potential claims or other general estimates related to our reinsurance business. We will also, from time to time, consider the acquisition of or investment in businesses, services and technologies that might
affect our liquidity requirements.

identified from time to time in the Companys filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K, or in the Companys press releases. We disclaim any obligation to publicly update
any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.



|Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
|------- | ----------------------------------------------------------



The Company is exposed to changes in financial market conditions in the normal course of business due to its use of certain financial instruments. Market risk generally
represents the risk that losses may occur in the values of financial instruments as a result of movements in interest rates and equity prices.



There have been no material changes in the reported market risks or the overall credit risk of the Companys portfolio since December 31, 2004. See further
discussion of these market risks and related financial instruments in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.



|Item 4. | Controls and Procedures
|------- | -----------------------



The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Companys Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Companys
management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that
any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit
relationship of possible controls and procedures. The Companys disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance of reaching the Companys desired disclosure control objectives. Also, the Company
has investments in certain unconsolidated entities. As the Company does not control or manage these entities, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures with respect to such entities are necessarily substantially more limited than those
the Company maintains with respect to the Companys consolidated subsidiaries.



As required by Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 13a-15(b), the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the quarter covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer concluded that the

Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.



There has been no changes in the Companys internal controls over financial reporting
during the Companys most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal controls over financial reporting.



PART II - OTHER INFORMATION



|Item 1. | Legal Proceedings
|------- | -----------------

current litigation will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.
