                                  (UNAUDITED)



BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of American Eagle
Group, Inc. (the "Company") and subsidiaries for the periods ended September 30,
1996 and 1997 have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to the Form
10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

As described in the second quarter 1997 Notes to Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements, American Eagle's principal subsidiary, American Eagle
Insurance Company, was placed in conservation with the Texas Department of
Insurance on July 23, 1997.  As a result of the impact of conservation on
American Eagle Insurance Company and its affiliate, Aviation Office of America,
Inc., American Eagle reduced its net carrying value of such subsidiaries to zero
and has deconsolidated such subsidiaries as of June 30, 1997.  Accordingly, the
financial statements for the quarter including September 30, 1997 are parent
company only financial statements.  The financial statements for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 reflect American Eagle on a consolidated basis for the
first six months of 1997 and parent company only financial data for the most
recent quarter. Additionally, management was informed on December 3, 1997 that
the Texas Department of Insurance is placing American Eagle Insurance Company in
Receivership.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair
presentation of the results for the interim period have been included. Operating
results for the periods ended September 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative
of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1997. 
These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1996 included in the Company's
Form 10-K.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

As previously reported and described in the Form 10-Q for the periods ended June
30, 1997, the Company's principal subsidiary, American Eagle Insurance Company
(AEIC) had been placed in conservatorship with the Texas Department of
Insurance.  As a result of the impact of conservation on AEIC and American
Eagle's other remaining active subsidiary, Aviation Office of America, Inc.
(AOA), American Eagle has deconsolidated and reduced its net carrying value of
AEIC and AOA to zero as of June 30, 1997.

If and when it is determined that either of its two active subsidiaries have any
remaining value and the control of such subsidiaries is returned to American
Eagle, the entities will again be consolidated with American Eagle and such
value will be reflected in American Eagle's financial statements.

The Conservator for the Texas Department of Insurance has provided management
with a copy of the Quarterly Statement of AEIC's financial condition as of
September 30, 1997.  The Quarterly Statement is prepared in accordance with
statutory accounting principles  which differ from with generally accepted
accounting principles.  The Company's financial report to shareholders is
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  Financial
statements prepared on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles
have not been prepared for AEIC as of September 30, 1997.  In accordance with
the statutory basis of reporting, AEIC had as of June 30, 1997, surplus as
regards policyholders of $1.8 million.  The September 30, 1997, statutory basis
financial statements indicated surplus as regards policyholders of a negative
$5.6 million.  Management has not been able to determine whether they concur
with the September 30, 1997 statutory based financial statements nor have they
determine what the financial condition of AEIC would be on the basis of
generally accepted accounting principles. Additionally, management was informed
on December 3, 1997 that the Texas Department of Insurance is placing American
Eagle Insurance Company in Receivership.

The estimated future net operating costs for American Eagle parent company
recorded in the second quarter of 1997 for the third quarter of 1997 were
generally as expected and accordingly, no income or expenses have been recorded
in the third quarter of 1997.

As described above, the Company had no ongoing operations in the third quarter
of 1997 and therefore any comparison with the comparable quarter of 1996 would
not be meaningful.

FIRST NINE MONTHS OF 1997 COMPARED TO THE FIRST NINE MONTHS OF 1996

As previously reported and described in the Form 10-Q for the periods ended June
30, 1997 and earlier herein, the Company has not had any ongoing operations in
the third quarter of 1997.  The results of operations for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 are the results of operations reported for the six months
ended June 30, 1997.  A comparison of the first six months of 1997 with the
first nine months of 1996 would not be meaningful and accordingly, no such
comparison has been made.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's consolidated cash flow used in operations was $44.3 million in the
first six months of 1997 and the cash flow used by parent company operations in
the third quarter of 1997 was $0.6 million for an aggregate of $44.8 million.

settlement of claims and the payment of retrospectively rated reinsurance
premiums while premiums collected were immaterial. The cash flow used in the
third quarter of 1997 were to pay operating expenses of the parent company.
This is compared to cash flow used by operations of $35.5 million in the first
nine months of 1996.

The Company's source of cash flow is its insurance operation conducted through
its principal subsidiary, AEIC which was deconsolidated at June 30, 1997.  As
previously noted, AEIC is in receivership.  Although the Company does not have
any ongoing sources of cash, it currently has cash at the parent company
adequate to cover all known creditor obligations and to continue to fund its
reduced level of operating expenses through 1998.
