The Company held 165 investment
positions with unrealized losses as of March 31, 2005. All of the investments are investment grade and the unrealized losses are primarily due to interest rate fluctuations. The Company held 68 securities that were in an unrealized loss position for
12 months or more.



The Company has the ability and intent to hold securities
with unrealized losses until they recover their value. In the future, information may come to light or circumstances may change that would cause the Company to write-down or sell these securities and incur a realized loss.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS



The Company classifies its business into two segments:
Direct Healthcare Liability Insurance and Assumed Reinsurance. Segments are designated based on the types of products provided and based on the risks associated with the products. Direct healthcare liability insurance represents professional
liability insurance for physicians, oral and maxillofacial surgeons and dentists, healthcare facilities and other healthcare providers. Assumed reinsurance represents the book of assumed worldwide reinsurance of professional, commercial and personal
liability coverages, commercial and residential property risks and accident and health, workers compensation and marine coverages. Other includes items not directly related to the operating segments such as net investment income, realized
investment gains and losses, and other revenue. In December 2002, the Company entered into a 100% quota share reinsurance agreement with Rosemont Reinsurance Ltd. (Rosemont Re) (formerly known as GoshawK Re), a subsidiary of GoshawK Insurance
Holdings plc, a publicly held London-based insurer and reinsurer, that divested substantially all of the Companys ongoing assumed reinsurance operations. The Company had one ongoing assumed reinsurance treaty for the 2003 underwriting year.

The Company is named as a defendant in various legal actions primarily arising from claims
made under insurance policies and contracts. These actions are considered by the Company in estimating the loss and loss adjustment expense reserves. The Companys management believes that the resolution of these actions will not have a
material adverse effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations.

compensation, commercial automobile, general liability and umbrella. The gross premiums written by the HIG subsidiaries were approximately $88.0 million for the subject policies. In February 2002, the Texas Department of Insurance placed the

During 2002 and 2003, all of the HIG insurance company subsidiaries (with the exception of a California subsidiary) were merged into a single Texas domiciled subsidiary,
Highlands Insurance Company (Highlands). Highlands has advised the Company that the HIG insurance company subsidiaries have paid losses and LAE under the subject policies of more than $66.0 million and that at March 31, 2005 had established case
loss reserves of $9.4 million, net of reinsurance. Based on a limited review of the exposures remaining, the Company estimates that incurred but not reported losses are $5.6 million, for a total loss and loss expense reserve of $15.0 million. This
estimate is not based on a full reserve analysis of the exposures. To the extent Highlands is declared insolvent at some future date by a court of competent jurisdiction and is unable to pay losses under the subject policies, the Company would be
responsible to pay the amount of the losses incurred and unpaid at such date and would be subrogated to the rights of the policyholders as creditors of Highlands. The Company may also be entitled to indemnification of a portion of this loss from
certain of Highlands reinsurers.



On November 6, 2003, the State of Texas
obtained an order in the Texas District Court appointing the Texas Insurance Commissioner as the permanent Receiver of Highlands and placing the Receiver in possession of all assets of Highlands. The order expressly provided that it did not
constitute a finding of Highlands insolvency nor an authorization to liquidate Highlands. The Receiver continues to resolve Highlands claim liabilities and otherwise conduct its business, as part of his efforts to rehabilitate Highlands. If an
order of liquidation is ultimately entered and becomes final, the Company would likely be required to assume Highlands then remaining obligations under the subject policies.



Letters of Credit



The Company has a letter of credit facility in the amount of $50 million with Barclays Bank PLC. Letters of credit issued under the facility fulfill the collateral
requirements of Lloyds and guarantee loss reserves under certain other reinsurance contracts. As of March 31, 2005, letter of credit issuance under the facility was approximately $45.5 million. Securities of $49.4 million are pledged as
collateral under the facility.

volatility factors of the expected market price of the Companys common stock of .5205 and a weighted average expected life of the options ranging from three to ten years.



|ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Overview



SCPIE Holdings is a holding company owning subsidiaries engaged in providing insurance and reinsurance products. The Company is primarily a provider of medical
malpractice insurance and related liability insurance products to physicians, healthcare facilities and others engaged in the healthcare industry in California and Delaware, its core healthcare liability markets. Previously, the Company had also
been actively engaged in the medical malpractice insurance business and related products in other states and the assumed reinsurance business. During 2002 and 2003, the Company largely completed its withdrawal from the assumed reinsurance market and
medical malpractice insurance outside of California and Delaware.



The
Companys insurance business is organized into two reportable business segments: direct healthcare liability insurance and assumed reinsurance operations. Primarily due to significant losses on medical malpractice insurance outside of the state
of California and assumed reinsurance business losses arising out of the September 11, 2001, World Trade Center terrorist attack, the Company incurred significant losses. The resulting reductions in surplus and corresponding decrease in capital
adequacy ratios under both the A.M. Best Company (A.M. Best) and National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) capital adequacy models required the Company to take actions to improve its long-term capital adequacy position. The primary
actions taken by the Company were to effect an orderly withdrawal from healthcare liability insurance markets outside of California and Delaware and from the assumed reinsurance market in its entirety. All of the healthcare liability insurance
policies in these other markets expired during the first quarter of 2004. In December 2002, the Company entered into a 100% quota share reinsurance agreement to retrocede to another insurer the majority of reinsurance business written in 2002 and
2001. During 2003, the Company participated in only one ongoing reinsurance syndicate and had no ongoing reinsurance participations in 2004. The Company continues to settle and pay claims incurred in the non-core healthcare and assumed reinsurance
operations.



10



---

The actions taken by the Company have reduced significantly capital requirements related to premium writing to surplus
ratios in both the A.M. Best and NAIC capital adequacy models. The capital requirements required by the reserve to surplus ratios continues to decline as the Company settles the claims in its non-core businesses.



Critical Accounting Policies



The Companys discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of
operations are based upon the Companys consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires
management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the related notes. Management believes that the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect the more
significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.



Premium Revenue Recognition



Direct healthcare liability insurance premiums written are earned on a daily pro rata basis
over the terms of the policies. Accordingly, unearned premiums represent the portion of premiums written which is applicable to the unexpired portion of the policies in force. Reinsurance premiums assumed are estimated based on information provided
by ceding companies. The information used in establishing these estimates is reviewed and subsequent adjustments are recorded in the period in which they are determined. These premiums are earned over the terms of the related reinsurance contracts.



Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves



Unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses are comprised of case reserves for known claims,
incurred but not reported reserves for unknown claims and any potential development for known claims, and reserves for the cost of administration and settlement of both known and unknown claims. Such liabilities are established based on known facts
and interpretation of circumstances, including the Companys experience with similar cases and historical trends involving claim payment patterns, loss payments and pending levels of unpaid claims, as well as court decisions and economic
conditions. The effects of inflation are considered in the reserving process. Establishing appropriate reserves is an inherently uncertain process; the ultimate liability may be in excess of or less than the amount provided. Any increase in the
amount of reserves, including reserves for insured events of prior years, could have an adverse effect on the Companys results for the period in which the adjustments are made. The Company utilizes both its internal actuarial staff and
independent consulting actuaries in establishing its reserves. The Company does not discount its loss and loss adjustment expense reserves.



The Company had a growing volume of assumed reinsurance business between 1999 and 2002. Assumed reinsurance is a line of business with inherent volatility. Ultimate loss
experience for the assumed reinsurance operation is based primarily on reports received by the Company from the underlying ceding insurers. Many losses take several years to be reported through the system. The Company relies heavily on the ceding
entitys estimates of ultimate incurred losses, especially those of Lloyds syndicates. Ceding entities, representing over 65% of the reinsurance assumed business for the 1999 to 2003 underwriting years (based on gross written premiums),
submit reports to the Company containing ultimate incurred loss estimates reviewed by independent or internal actuaries of the ceding entities. These reported ultimate incurred losses are the primary basis for the Companys reserving estimates.
In other cases, the Company relies on its own internal estimates determined primarily by experience to date, individual knowledge of the specific reinsurance contract, industry experience and other actuarial techniques to determine reserve
requirements.



11



---

Because the reserve establishment process is by definition an estimate, actual results will vary from amounts established
in earlier periods. The Company recognizes such differences in the periods they are determined. Since reserves accumulate on the balance sheet over several years until all claims are settled, a determination of inadequacy or redundancy could easily
have a significant impact on earnings and therefore stockholders equity. The Company has established net reserves of $423.1 million as of March 31, 2005, after considering both prospective and retrospective reinsurance. The net reserves
attributable to the operating segments of the Company are as follows:

A 1% difference in the ultimate value
of reserves, net of reinsurance recoverable, would decrease or increase future pretax earnings by $4.2 million.



Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs



Deferred policy acquisition costs include commissions, premium taxes and other variable costs incurred in connection with writing business. Deferred policy acquisition
costs are reviewed to determine if they are recoverable from future income, including investment income. If such costs are estimated to be unrecoverable, they are expensed. Recoverability is analyzed based on the Companys assumptions related
to the underlying policies written, including the lives of the underlying policies, future investment income, and level of expenses necessary to maintain the policies over their entire lives. Deferred policy acquisition costs are amortized over the
period in which the related premiums are earned.



Investments



The Company considers its fixed maturity and equity securities as
available-for-sale securities. Available-for-sale securities are sold in response to a number of issues, including the Companys liquidity needs, the Companys statutory surplus requirements and tax management strategies, among others.
Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value. The related unrealized gains and losses, net of income tax effects, are excluded from net income and reported as a component of stockholders equity.



The Company evaluates the securities in its available-for-sale investment portfolio on at
least a quarterly basis for declines in market value below cost for the purpose of determining whether these declines represent other than temporary declines. Some of the factors the Company considers in the evaluation of its investments are:



| |  |  | the extent to which the market value of the security is less than its cost basis;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the length of time for which the market value of the security has been less than its cost basis;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the financial condition and near-term prospects of the securitys issuer, taking into consideration the economic prospects of the issuers industry and geographical
region, to the extent that information is publicly available; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the Companys ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



A decline in the fair value of an available-for-sale security below cost that is judged to be
other than temporary is realized as a loss in the current period and reduces the cost basis of the security.

Income taxes



At March 31, 2005, the Company had $50.2 million of net deferred income tax assets. Net deferred income tax assets consist of the net temporary differences created as a
result of amounts deductible or revenue recognized in periods different for tax return purposes than for accounting purposes. These deferred income tax assets include an asset of $20.1 million for a net operating loss carryforward that will expire
in 2021. A net operating loss carryforward is a tax loss that may be carried forward into future years. It reduces taxable income in future years and the tax liability that would otherwise be incurred.



The Company believes it is more likely than not that the deferred income tax assets will be
realized through its future earnings. As a result, the Company has not recorded a valuation allowance. The Companys core operations have historically been profitable on both a GAAP and tax basis. The losses incurred in 2001 to 2004 have been
primarily caused by losses in the non-core healthcare and assumed reinsurance businesses. Since the core healthcare liability operation has remained strong and improved over the past years and the non-core healthcare liability and assumed operations
are now in run-off, the Company believes it should return to a position of taxable income, thus enabling it to utilize the net operating loss carryforward.



The Companys estimate of future taxable income uses the same assumptions and projections as in its internal financial projections. These projections are subject to
uncertainties primarily related to future underwriting results. If the Companys results are not as profitable as expected, the Company may be required in future periods to record a valuation allowance for all or a portion of the deferred
income tax assets. Any valuation allowance would reduce the Companys earnings.



Forward Looking Statements



Certain statements in this
report on Form 10-Q that are not historical in fact constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors based on the Companys estimates and expectations concerning future events that may cause the actual results of the Company to be materially different from historical results or from any results expressed or
implied by such forward-looking statements. Actuarial estimates of losses and loss adjustment expenses (LAE), expectations concerning the Companys ability to retain current insureds at profitable levels, successful withdrawal from the assumed
reinsurance business, obtaining necessary rate change regulatory approvals, expansion of liability insurance business in its principal market and improved performance and profitability are dependent upon a variety of factors, including future
economic, competitive and market conditions, frequency and severity of catastrophic events, future legislative and regulatory actions, uncertainties and potential delays in obtaining premium rate approvals, the level of ratings from recognized
rating services, the inherent uncertainty of loss and LAE estimates in both the core and discontinued non-core businesses (including a contingent liability related to Highlands Insurance Company), and the cyclical nature of the property and casualty
insurance industry, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the control of the Company. The Company is also subject to certain structural risks as an insurance holding company, including statutory
restrictions on dividends and other intercompany transactions. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking information herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company
or any other person that the Companys objectives or plans will be realized. These risks and uncertainties, as well as the Companys critical accounting policies, are discussed in more detail under Business  Risk Factors,
Managements Discussion and Analysis  Overview, and Managements Discussion and Analysis  Critical Accounting Policies in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2004.



Information Regarding Non-GAAP Measures



The Company has presented information in this report with respect to premiums written, an
operating measure which in managements opinion provides investors useful industry specific information to evaluate and perform meaningful comparisons of the Companys performance. Premiums written is a non-GAAP financial measure which
represents the premiums charged on policies issued during a fiscal period less any reinsurance. Premiums written is a statutory measure of production levels. Premiums earned, a comparable GAAP measure, represents the portion of premiums written that
is recognized as income in the financial statements for the periods presented and earned on a pro-rata basis over the term of the policies.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2005 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2004



Direct Healthcare Liability Insurance Segment



The Company underwrites professional and related liability policy coverages for physicians (including oral and maxillofacial surgeons),
physician medical groups and clinics, hospitals, dentists, managed care organizations and other providers in the healthcare industry. As a result of the Companys withdrawal from certain segments of the healthcare industry, the premiums earned
are allocated between core and non-core premium. Core premium represents California and Delaware business excluding dentist and hospital business. Non-core business represents business related to physician and dental programs formerly conducted for
the Company primarily in states outside California and Delaware by a national independent insurance agency, other state non-standard physician programs and hospital programs including those in California.



The following table summarizes by core and non-core businesses the underwriting results of
the direct healthcare liability insurance segment for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

|- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Core Business



Premiums written were $91.4 million and premiums earned were $32.0 million in the first quarter 2005; compared to $92.5 million and $31.6
million in the first quarter 2004. Premiums earned increased primarily due to the effect on most policies of a 6.5% rate increase implemented on January 1, 2005, somewhat offset by a decline in policies in-force of 2.5%.



The loss ratio (losses and LAE related to premiums earned) for the first quarter 2005 was
76.9% compared to 86.7% in the first quarter 2004. The decrease in the loss ratio is due primarily to the 6.5% rate increase effective January 1, 2005, as well as lower loss estimates for 2005, principally due to a decline in claim frequency.



14



---

The underwriting expense ratio (expenses related to premiums earned) increased to 22.7% in the first quarter 2005 from
19.9% in the first quarter 2004. The change is primarily attributable to a decline in premium in the non-core business. As a result of that decline, most underwriting expenses are attributable to the core business. In addition, an increasing
proportion of new business acquired has been through agents and brokers which increases commission expenses.



Non-Core Business



The premiums written
and earned for the first quarters of 2005 and 2004 result primarily from extended reporting endorsements issued under expired policies. After March 6, 2003, no new or renewal business was written in the non-core programs, as the Company exited these
markets.



The underwriting gain in the first quarter of 2005 was diminimus and
reflects the fact that no significant changes in reserve levels were required during the quarter.



Assumed Reinsurance Segment



Assumed
reinsurance represents the book of assumed worldwide reinsurance of professional, commercial and personal liability coverages, commercial and residential property risks and accident and health, workers compensation and marine coverages.



The following table summarizes the underwriting results of the assumed
reinsurance segment for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

The earned premium in 2005 and 2004 is
primarily from the one ongoing assumed reinsurance program for the 2003 underwriting year.



The underwriting loss in the first quarter 2005 is primarily related to increased reserve estimates reported to the Company for a few contracts. Increased reserves related to contracts covering bail and immigration
bonds, Lloyds syndicates and World Trade Center losses were reported to the Company during the quarter ended March 31, 2005.



The Rosemont Re reinsurance treaty entered into in December 2002 effectively cedes all of the unearned premium and future reported premium after June 30, 2002, for the
assumed reinsurance business written for underwriting years 2001 and 2002 by the Company. This treaty relieves the Company of significant underwriting risk and written premium leverage and significantly improves the Companys risk-based capital
adequacy ratios under both the A.M. Best and NAIC models. The treaty has no limitations on loss recoveries and includes a profit-sharing provision should the combined ratios calculated on the base premium ceded be below 100%. The treaty requires
Rosemont Re to reimburse the Company for its acquisition and administrative expenses. In addition, the Company is required to pay Rosemont Re additional premium in excess of the base premium ceded of 14.3%. The additional premium paid to Rosemont Re
was $(0.5) million and $(0.8) million for the first quarters of 2005 and 2004, respectively.



15



---

The Rosemont Re reinsurance treaty has both prospective and retroactive elements as defined in FASB No. 113,
Accounting and Reporting for Reinsurance of Short-Duration and Long-Duration Contracts. As such, any gains under the contract will be deferred and amortized to income based upon the expected recovery. No gains are anticipated currently.
Losses related to future earned premium ceded, as well as development on losses related to existing earned premium ceded after June 30, 2002, will ultimately determine whether a gain will be recorded under the contract. The retroactive accounting
treatment required under FASB 113 requires that a charge to income be recorded to the extent premiums ceded under the contract are in excess of the estimated losses and expenses ceded under the contract.



Other Operations



Net investment income decreased 14% to $4.7 million for the first quarter 2005 from $5.4 million in 2004. Investment income reflects an 18%
reduction in average final maturity investments offset by an increase in the average rate of return. The decline in invested assets was as a result of the claim payments related to the run-off of the non-core healthcare liability and assumed
reinsurance businesses. The average rate of return on invested assets was 3.9% and 3.7% for the first quarters 2005 and 2004, respectively.



Realized investment gains of $16,000 were recorded for the first quarter 2005 versus realized invested gains of $2.3 million in the first quarter 2004.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES



The primary sources of the Companys liquidity are insurance premiums, net investment
income, recoveries from reinsurers and proceeds from the maturity or sale of invested assets. Funds are used to pay losses, LAE, operating expenses, reinsurance premiums and taxes.



Because of uncertainty related to the timing of the payment of claims, cash from operations for a property and casualty insurance company
can vary substantially from period to period. During the first three months of 2005, the Company had negative cash flow from operations of $19.0 million compared to a negative cash flow of $21.5 million in 2004. The negative cash flow in 2005 and
2004 is primarily related to claims payments associated with the non-core physician and assumed reinsurance programs, which are now in run-off. The Company maintains a significant portion of its investment portfolio in high-quality short-term
securities and cash to meet short-term operating liquidity requirements, including the payment of losses and LAE. Cash and cash equivalents investments totaled $79.1 million or 14.4% of invested assets, at March 31, 2005. The Company believes that
all of its short-term and fixed maturity securities are readily marketable and have scheduled maturities in line with projected cash needs. Premiums generated by the Companys core operations have historically produced positive cash flow after
consideration of investment income.



The Company invests its cash flow from
operations principally in taxable fixed maturity securities. The Companys current policy is to limit its investment in unaffiliated equity securities and mortgage loans to no more than 8% of the total market value of its investments. The
market value of the Companys portfolio of unaffiliated equity securities was $16.4 million at March 31, 2005. The Company plans to continue its emphasis on fixed maturity securities investments for the indefinite future.



The Company leases approximately 95,000 square feet of office space for its headquarters. The
lease is for a term of 10 years ending in 2008, and the Company has two options to renew the lease for a period of five years each.



SCPIE Holdings is an insurance holding company whose assets primarily consist of all of the capital stock of its insurance company subsidiaries. Its principal sources of
funds are dividends from its subsidiaries and proceeds from the issuance of debt and equity securities. The insurance company subsidiaries are restricted by state regulation in the amount of dividends they can pay in relation to earnings or surplus,
without the consent of the applicable state regulatory authority, principally the California Department of Insurance. SCPIE Holdings principal insurance company subsidiary, SCPIE Indemnity, may pay dividends to SCPIE Holdings in any 12-month
period, without regulatory approval, to the extent such dividends do not exceed the greater of (i) 10% of its statutory surplus at the end of the preceding year or (ii) its statutory net income for the preceding year. Applicable regulations further
require that an insurers statutory surplus following a dividend or other distribution be reasonable in relation to its outstanding liabilities and adequate to meet its financial needs, and permit the payment of dividends only out of statutory
earned (unassigned) surplus unless the payment out of other funds receives regulatory approval. The amount of dividends that SCPIE Indemnity is able to pay to SCPIE Holdings during 2005 without prior regulatory approval is approximately $13.7
million. As of March 31, 2005, no dividends had been paid to SCPIE Holdings.



16



---

In March 2004, the Board of Directors suspended the Companys quarterly dividends. The payment and amount of cash
dividends will depend upon, among other factors, the Companys operating results, overall financial condition, capital requirements and general business conditions. As of March 31, 2005, SCPIE Holdings held cash and short-term securities of
$3.5 million. Based on historical trends, market conditions and its business plans, the Company believes that its sources of funds (including dividends from the insurance company subsidiaries) will be sufficient to meet the liquidity needs of SCPIE
Holdings over the next 18 months.



The Companys capital adequacy position
has been weakened by the losses in the non-core business. On November 14, 2003, A.M. Best (the leading rating organization for the insurance industry), after a review of the third quarter 2003 results, reduced the rating of the Insurance
Subsidiaries to B (Fair), with a negative outlook. A.M. Best assigns this rating to companies that have, in its opinion, a fair ability to meet their current obligations to policyholders, but are financially vulnerable to adverse changes in
underwriting and economic conditions. The NAIC has developed a methodology for measuring the adequacy of an insurers surplus which includes a risk-based capital (RBC) formula designed to measure state statutory capital and surplus needs. The
RBC rules provide for different levels of regulatory attention based on four thresholds determined under the formula. At December 31, 2004, the RBC level of each insurance company subsidiary exceeded the threshold requiring the least regulatory
attention. At December 31, 2004, SCPIE Indemnity exceeded this threshold by $38.0 million.



The Company believes that it has the ability to fund its continuing operations from its premiums written and investment income. The Company plans to continue its focus on the efficient operation of its core business,
while at the same time continuing to adjudicate and settle claims incurred in its discontinued non-core business. As the Company continues to run-off the non-core loss and LAE reserves, its capital adequacy position should improve.



As of March 31, 2005, the Companys statutory surplus was approximately $138.5 million.
The principal differences between statutory surplus and stockholders equity are deferred policyholder acquisition costs and the deferred federal income tax asset. The Company believes its statutory surplus will increase over time and provide a
basis for improved ratings from A.M. Best. This process could be accelerated if additional capital were obtained by the Company. Although the Company believes an increase in the A.M. Best rating would be beneficial to the Companys ongoing
operations, especially in the area of new business opportunities, there is no assurance that such rating would be increased in the event the Company raised additional capital or whether the Company could raise such capital in appropriate amounts and
on reasonable terms.



EFFECT OF INFLATION



The primary effect of inflation on the Company is considered in pricing and
estimating reserves for unpaid losses and LAE for claims in which there is a long period between reporting and settlement, such as medical malpractice claims. The actual effect of inflation on the Companys results cannot be accurately known
until claims are ultimately settled. Based on actual results to date, the Company believes that loss and LAE reserve levels and the Companys rate making process adequately incorporate the effects of inflation.



|ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
|------- | ----------------------------------------------------------



The Company is subject to various market risk exposures, including interest rate risk and equity price risk.



The Company invests its assets primarily in fixed maturity securities, which at March 31, 2005 comprised 80.7% of total investments at
market value. Corporate bonds represent 48.2% and U.S. government bonds represent 32.7% of the fixed-maturity investments, with the remainder consisting of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. Equity securities, consisting primarily of
common stocks, account for 3.0% of total investments at market value. Mortgage loans represent 1.9% of the investment portfolio. The remainder of the investment portfolio consists of cash and highly liquid short-term investments, which are primarily
overnight bank repurchase agreements and short-term money market funds.



The
value of the fixed maturity portfolio is subject to interest rate risk. As market interest rates decrease, the value of the portfolio increases with the opposite holding true in rising interest rate environments. A common measure of the interest
sensitivity of fixed-maturity assets is modified or effective duration, a calculation that takes maturity, coupon rate, yield and call terms to calculate an average age of the expected cash flows. The longer the duration, the more sensitive the
asset is to market interest rate fluctuations. The effective duration of the fixed maturity portfolio at March 31, 2005 was 4.3 years.



17



---

The value of the common stock equity investments is dependent upon general conditions in the securities markets and the
business and financial performance of the individual companies in the portfolio. Values are typically based on future economic prospects as perceived by investors in the equity markets.



At March 31, 2005, the carrying value of the investment portfolio included $3.0 million in net unrealized losses. At December 31, 2004, the
investment portfolio included $4.6 million in net unrealized gains.



|ITEM 4. | DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|------- | ----------------------------------



The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its reports under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), 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.



As required by
SEC Rule 13a-15(b), the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its 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 Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and
procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.



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