              Hallmark Financial Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries
            Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 1. General

     Hallmark  Financial  Services,  Inc.  ("Hallmark"  and,  together   with
 subsidiaries,  "we",  "us",  "our")   is  a  diversified   property/casualty
 insurance group  that serves  businesses and  individuals in  specialty  and
 niche markets.  We market, distribute, underwrite and service our commercial
 and personal  property/casualty insurance  products through  four  operating
 units,  each  of  which  has  a  specific focus.   Our  HGA  Operating  Unit
 primarily  handles  standard commercial  insurance, our TGA  Operating  Unit
 concentrates on excess and surplus  lines commercial insurance, our  Phoenix
 Operating Unit focuses on non-standard personal automobile insurance and our
 Aerospace Operating Unit  specializes in  general  aviation  insurance.  The
 subsidiaries comprising our TGA Operating  Unit and our Aerospace  Operating
 Unit  were  acquired  effective  January 1, 2006.   The  insurance  policies
 produced by our  four operating  units are  written by  our three  insurance
 company  subsidiaries  as  well  as unaffiliated  insurers.   Our  insurance
 company subsidiaries  are  American  Hallmark  Insurance  Company  of  Texas
 ("AHIC"), Phoenix  Indemnity  Insurance  Company ("PIIC")  and  Gulf  States
 Insurance Company ("GSIC").


 2. Basis of Presentation

     Our  unaudited consolidated  financial statements  included herein  have
 been  prepared  in  accordance  with  U.S.  generally  accepted   accounting
 principles ("GAAP")  and  include  our accounts  and  the  accounts  of  our
 subsidiaries.  All significant  intercompany accounts and transactions  have
 been   eliminated  in  consolidation.   Certain  information  and   footnote
 disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
 with GAAP have been condensed or  omitted pursuant to rules and  regulations
 of the  Securities and  Exchange Commission  ("SEC") for  interim  financial
 reporting.  These financial  statements should be  read in conjunction  with
 our  audited  financial  statements  for  the  year ended  December 31, 2005
 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

     The interim financial data as of  June 30, 2006  and  2005 is unaudited.
 However, in  the  opinion  of management,  the  interim  data  includes  all
 adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary  for
 a fair statement of  the results for  the interim periods.   The results  of
 operations for the period ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative
 of the operating results to be expected for the full year.

     Reclassification

     Certain previously reported  amounts have been reclassified in order  to
 conform to current year presentation.  Such reclassification had  no  effect
 on net income or stockholders' equity.

     Redesignation of Segments

     Effective January 1, 2006,  our Commercial Insurance Operation has  been
 redesignated as our HGA Operating Unit and our Personal Insurance  Operation
 has been redesignated as  our Phoenix Operating Unit,  in each case  without
 change in the composition of the reporting segment.

     Reverse Stock Split

     All share  and  per share amounts have been adjusted  to reflect a  one-
 for-six reverse split of  all issued and unissued  shares of our  authorized
 common stock effected July 31, 2006, and a corresponding increase in the par
 value of  our authorized  common stock  from $0.03  per share  to $0.18  per
 share.

     Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Financial Statements

        Our  preparation  of financial  statements  in conformity  with  GAAP
 requires us  to make  estimates and  assumptions  that affect  our  reported
 amounts of assets and  liabilities and our  disclosure of contingent  assets
 and liabilities at  the date  of our financial  statements, as  well as  our
 reported amounts  of revenues  and expenses  during the  reporting period.
 Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

     Recently Issued Accounting Standards

     In  December 2002,  the Financial  Accounting Standards  Board  ("FASB")
 issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, "Accounting  for
 Stock-Based Compensation - Transition  and  Disclosure"  ("SFAS 148").  SFAS
 148 amended  FASB  Statement  of Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  123,
 "Accounting  for   Stock-Based  Compensation"   ("SFAS  123")   to   provide
 alternative methods of  transition for voluntary  change to  the fair  value
 based method  of  accounting  for stock-based  employee  compensation.    In
 addition, SFAS  148  amended the  disclosure  requirements of  SFAS  123  to
 require  prominent  disclosures  in   both  annual  and  interim   financial
 statements  about  the  method   of  accounting  for  stock-based   employee
 compensation  and  the  effect of  the  method  used  on  reported  results.
 Effective January 1, 2003, we adopted  the prospective method provisions  of
 SFAS 148.   Under the  prospective method, we  have applied  the fair  value
 based method of accounting  for our stock-based  payments for option  grants
 after December 31, 2002.

     In  December  2004,  FASB  issued  Statement  of  Financial   Accounting
 Standards No. 123R "Share-Based Payment"  ("SFAS 123R"), which revises  SFAS
 123 and supersedes Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25  ("APB
 25").   SFAS 123R eliminates an entity's ability to account for  share-based
 payments using APB 25 and requires  that all such transactions be  accounted
 for using a fair value based  method.  In April  2005, the SEC deferred  the
 effective date  of  SFAS  123R  from the  first  interim  or  annual  period
 beginning after June 15, 2005 to  the next fiscal year beginning after  June
 15, 2005.   We adopted  SFAS 123R  on January  1, 2006  using the  modified-
 prospective transition method.   Under  the modified-prospective  transition
 method, compensation  cost  recognized  during  the  period  should  include
 compensation cost  for all  share-based payments  granted  to, but  not  yet
 vested as of January 1,  2006, based on grant  date fair value estimates  in
 accordance with the original  provisions of SFAS  123 and compensation  cost
 for all share-based  payments granted after  January 1,  2006 in  accordance
 with SFAS 123R.  Since we  adopted the fair value  method of SFAS 123  under
 the prospective method provision of SFAS  148 beginning January 1, 2003,  we
 have a  small  amount of  unvested  share-based payments  granted  prior  to
 January 1, 2003.  During  the  first  six  months  of  2006,  we  recognized
 approximately  $5 thousand of  additional  compensation expense  under  SFAS
 123R.  SFAS 123R also requires the  benefits of tax deductions in excess  of
 recognized stock compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash  flow,
 rather than as an operating cash flow as previously required.  (See Note  4,
 "Share-Based Payment Arrangements.")

     Had  compensation cost  for all  of our  stock option  grants under  our
 stock compensation plans been  determined based on fair  value at the  grant
 date in  accordance with  the fair  value provisions  of SFAS  123, our  net
 income and earnings per share  for the three and  six months ended June  30,
 2005 would have been the pro forma amounts indicated below.  Actual  results
 for the three and  six months ended  June 30, 2006  have been determined  in
 accordance with the fair value provisions  of SFAS 123R and, therefore,  pro
 forma results for such period are not necessary.

 3. Business Combinations

      We account  for  business combinations  using  the purchase  method  of
 accounting.  The cost  of  an  acquired entity  is allocated  to the  assets
 acquired (including identified  intangible assets)  and liabilities  assumed
 based on their estimated fair values.  The excess of the cost of an acquired
 entity over  the  net  of  the  amounts  assigned  to  assets  acquired  and
 liabilities assumed is  an asset  referred to as  "excess of  cost over  net
 assets acquired" or "goodwill."   Indirect and  general expenses related  to
 business combinations are expensed as incurred.

      Effective  January  1,  2006,  we  acquired  all  of  the  issued   and
 outstanding capital  stock  of  the  subsidiaries  now  comprising  the  TGA
 Operating Unit for an aggregate cash purchase price of up to $45.6  million,
 consisting of unconditional  consideration of $37.6  million and  contingent
 consideration of $8.0  million.  Of  the unconditional consideration,  $13.9
 million was paid  at closing and  $14.3 million will  be paid  on or  before
 January 1, 2007 and $9.5 million will be paid on or before  January 1, 2008.
 The payment of any contingent consideration  is  conditioned on the  sellers
 complying with  certain restrictive  covenants and  the TGA  Operating  Unit
 achieving certain operational objectives  related to premium production  and
 loss ratios.  The  contingent consideration, if any,  will be payable on  or
 before March 30, 2009, unless the sellers elect to defer payment until March
 30 of any subsequent year in order to permit further development of the loss
 ratios.  In addition to the purchase price, we will pay $2.0 million to  the
 sellers in  consideration  of  their  compliance  with  certain  restrictive
 covenants, including a covenant  not to compete for  a period of five  years
 after  closing.  Of  this  additional  amount,  $750 thousand  was  paid  at
 closing, $750 thousand will be  paid on or before  January 1, 2007 and  $500
 thousand will be paid on or before January 1, 2008.

      Texas General  Agency,  Inc. ("Texas  General  Agency") is  a  managing

 now comprising  the TGA  Operating  Unit are  not  available for  2005  and,
 therefore, quarterly supplemental pro forma disclosures are not included  in
 this report.

      Effective  January 1, 2006,  we also  acquired all  of the  issued  and
 outstanding membership  interests in  the  subsidiaries now  comprising  the
 Aerospace Operating  Unit, for  an aggregate  consideration of  up to  $15.0
 million, consisting of unconditional consideration  of $12.5 million due  in
 cash at closing  and contingent consideration  of up to  $2.5 million.   The
 unconditional consideration of $12.5 million  is allocated $11.9 million  to
 the purchase price and $0.6 million to the seller's compliance with  certain
 restrictive covenants, including a covenant not  to compete for a period  of
 five  years  after  closing.  The  payment of  contingent  consideration  is
 conditioned on the seller complying with  its restrictive covenants and  the
 Aerospace Operating Unit achieving certain operational objectives related to
 premium production and loss ratios.  The contingent consideration,  if  any,
 will be payable  in cash  on or  before March  30, 2009,  unless the  seller
 elects to  defer  a  portion of  the  payment  in order  to  permit  further
 development of loss ratios.

      Our Aerospace Operating Unit is involved in the marketing and servicing
 of  general  aviation  property  and  casualty  insurance  products  with  a
 particular emphasis on private and small commercial aircraft.  Interim  GAAP
 financial statements  for  the  subsidiaries now  comprising  our  Aerospace
 Operating  Unit  are  not  available  for  2005  and,  therefore,  quarterly
 supplemental pro forma disclosures are not included in this report.

 5. Share-Based Payment Arrangements

      Our 2005 Long Term Incentive Plan ("2005 LTIP") is a stock compensation
 plan for key employees and non-employee  directors that was approved by  the
 shareholders  on  May 26,  2005.  There are  833,333 shares  authorized  for
 issuance under the  2005 LTIP.  Our  1994 Key  Employee Long Term  Incentive
 Plan (the "Employee Plan") and 1994 Non-Employee Director Stock Option  Plan
 (the "Director Plan") both expired in 2004.

      As of June 30, 2006,  there  were incentive stock  options to  purchase
 197,500 shares of our common stock outstanding under the 2005 LTIP,  leaving
 635,833 shares reserved  for future issuance.   As of  June 30, 2006,  there
 were incentive stock  options to purchase  101,917 shares  outstanding under
 the Employee Plan and non-qualified stock options to purchase  25,000 shares
 outstanding under the  Director Plan.  In  addition,  as of  June 30,  2006,
 there were outstanding non-qualified stock options to purchase 16,667 shares
 of our common stock  granted to certain  non-employee directors outside  the
 Director Plan in lieu of fees for service on our board of directors in 1999.
 The exercise price  of all such outstanding stock  options is equal  to  the
 fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant.

      Options granted under the Employee Plan prior to October 31, 2003, vest
 40% six months from the date of grant and  an additional 20% on each of  the
 first three anniversary dates of the grant and terminate ten years from  the
 date of grant.  Options  granted under the 2005  LTIP and the Employee  Plan
 after October 31, 2003,  vest 10%, 20%,  30% and 40%  on the first,  second,
 third and fourth anniversary dates of the grant, respectively, and terminate
 five to ten years  from the date of  grant.  All  options granted under  the
 Director Plan vest 40% six months from  the date of grant and an  additional
 10% on each of the  first six anniversary dates  of the  grant and terminate
 ten years  from the  date of  grant.  The options  granted  to  non-employee
 directors outside the Director Plan fully  vested six months after the  date
 of grant and terminate ten years from the date of grant.

      A summary of the status of our  stock options as of and changes  during
 the year-to-date ended June 30, 2006 is presented below:

      As of  June 30,  2006, there  was $1.1  million of  total  unrecognized
 compensation   cost   related   to   non-vested   share-based   compensation
 arrangements granted under our plans, of  which $0.1 million is expected  to
 be recognized in 2006, $0.3 million is expected to be recognized in each  of
 2007, 2008 and 2009 and $0.1 million is expected to be recognized in 2010.

      The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated on the date of
 grant using the Black-Scholes option  pricing model.  Expected  volatilities
 are  based  on  historical  volatility of  Hallmark's shares.  The risk-free
 interest rates for periods within the contractual  term  of the options  are
 based on rates for U.S. Treasury Notes with maturity dates corresponding  to
 the options expected lives on the dates of grant.

 assumptions for the periods indicated (in thousands).  There were no options

 7. Reinsurance

     We reinsure a portion of the risk we underwrite in order to control  the
 exposure to losses and to protect capital resources.  We cede to  reinsurers
 a portion of these risks and pay premiums based upon the risk  and  exposure
 of the policies  subject  to such  reinsurance.  Ceded reinsurance  involves
 credit risk and is generally subject to aggregate loss limits.  Although the
 reinsurer is liable to  us to the  extent of the  reinsurance ceded, we  are
 ultimately liable as the direct insurer on all risks reinsured.  Reinsurance
 recoverables are reported  after allowances  for  uncollectible amounts.  We
 monitor the financial condition of reinsurers on an ongoing basis and review
 our reinsurance arrangements periodically.  Reinsurers are selected based on
 their financial condition, business practices and the price of their product
 offerings.  Refer to Note 6 of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
 2005 for more discussion of our reinsurance.

     The following  table shows earned  premiums ceded  and reinsurance  loss
 recoveries by period (in thousands):

 8. Notes Payable

      On June 21, 2005, our newly formed trust subsidiary completed a private
 placement  of  $30.0  million  of  30-year  floating  rate  trust  preferred
 securities.  Simultaneously,  we  borrowed  $30.9  million  from  the  trust
 subsidiary and  contributed  $30.0  million to  AHIC in  order  to  increase
 policyholder surplus.  The note bears  an  initial interest  rate of  7.725%
 until  June 15, 2015, at which  time interest will  adjust quarterly to  the
 three month LIBOR rate plus  3.25  percentage points.  As of  June 30, 2006,
 the note balance was $30.9 million.

      On  January 27, 2006,  we borrowed  $15.0 million  under our  revolving
 credit facility to fund  the cash required to  close the acquisition of  the
 subsidiaries now comprising our  TGA Operating Unit.   As of June 30,  2006,
 the balance on the revolving note was $15.0 million. (See Note 3,  "Business
 Combinations" and Note  12, "Credit Facilities.")   Also  included in  notes
 payable is $2.4  million of  various short-term  notes payable  to banks  by
 PAAC, bearing variable interest rates ranging from 7.5% to 8.0%.  (See  Note
 12, "Credit Facilities").


 9.  Note Payable to Related Party

      On January 3, 2006, we executed a promissory note payable to  Newcastle
 Partners, L.P. in the amount of $12.5 million in order to obtain funding  to
 complete the  acquisition of  the subsidiaries  now comprising our Aerospace
 Operating Unit.  The promissory note bears  interest at the rate  of 10% per
 annum.  The  principal of  the promissory  note, together  with accrued  and
 unpaid interest, became due and payable on demand  as  of June 30, 2006.  As
 of June 30, 2006 the promissory note balance was $12.5 million.


 10.  Convertible Notes Payable

      On  January  27,  2006,  we   issued  $25.0  million  in   subordinated
 convertible promissory notes to Newcastle  Special Opportunity Fund I,  L.P.
 and Newcastle  Special  Opportunity  Fund II,  L.P.,  which  are  investment
 partnerships  managed  by  an  entity  controlled  by  Mark E. Schwarz,  our
 Executive Chairman.  Each  convertible note bore interest  at 4% per  annum,
 which rate increased to 10% per annum in the event of default.  Interest was
 payable quarterly in arrears commencing March  31, 2006.  Principal and  all
 accrued but unpaid  interest was  due at  maturity on  July 27,  2007.   The
 principal and accrued  interest on the  convertible notes  was converted  to
 approximately 3.3  million shares  of our  common  stock during  the  second
 quarter of 2006.

      In accordance with the FASB Emerging  Issues Task Force ("EITF")  Issue
 No. 98-5 "Accounting for  Convertible Securities with Beneficial  Conversion
 Features or Contingently  Adjustable Conversion Ratios"  and EITF Issue  No.
 00-27 "Application of  Issue No. 98-5  to Certain Convertible  Instruments,"
 the convertible notes contained a beneficial conversion feature requiring  a
 discount to the  carrying amount of  the notes equal  to (i) the  difference
 between the stated conversion rate and the market price of our common  stock
 on the date of issuance, multiplied by (ii) the number of shares into  which
 the notes were convertible.  Per EITF Issue No. 98-5 and EITF Issue No.  00-
 27, upon issuance  we recorded a  $9.6 million discount  to the  convertible
 notes which was amortized straight line as interest expense over the term of
 the convertible notes, with the unamortized balance of the discount expensed
 upon conversion of the notes in the second quarter of 2006.  The discount to
 the convertible notes  was offset by  increases to  deferred federal  income
 taxes and additional paid in capital.  The discount on the convertible notes
 had no ultimate effect on our book value.

      Interest expense resulting  from amortization  of the  discount on  the
 convertible notes during  the first six  months of 2006  was  $9.6  million.
 This interest expense had  the effect of reducing  our operating income  for
 the period, but had no effect on our cash flow.


 11.  Structured Settlements

      In connection with the acquisition  of the subsidiaries now  comprising
 our TGA Operating  Unit, we  recorded a  payable for  the future  guaranteed
 payments of $25.0  million discounted  at 4.4%,  the rate  of two-year  U.S.
 Treasuries (the only investment permitted on the trust account securing such
 future payments and which is classified  in restricted cash and  investments
 on our balance sheet).  (See Note  3, "Business Combinations.")  As of  June
 30, 2006, the balance of the structured settlements was $24.1 million.


 12. Credit Facilities

      On June 29, 2005,  we  entered into a  credit facility  with The  Frost
 National Bank.  The credit facility was amended and restated on January  27,
 2006 to  a $20.0  million revolving  credit facility,  with a  $5.0  million
 letter  of  credit  sub-facility.   We  borrowed  $15.0  million  under  the
 revolving credit facility to fund the cash required to close the acquisition
 of  the  subsidiaries  now comprising  our  TGA  Operating  Unit.  Principal
 outstanding  under  the  revolving  credit facility generally bears interest
 at  the  three  month  Eurodollar  rate  plus  2.00%,  payable  quarterly in
 arrears.  We pay letter  of credit fees at the rate of 1.00% per annum.  Our
 obligations under the revolving  credit facility are  secured by a  security
 interest in the capital stock of all of our subsidiaries, guaranties of  all
 of our subsidiaries and the pledge of substantially all of our assets.   The
 revolving credit  facility contains  covenants  which, among  other  things,
 require us to maintain certain financial  and operating ratios and  restrict
 certain distributions, transactions and organizational changes.  The amended
 and restated credit agreement  terminates on January 27, 2008.  As  of  June
 30, 2006, there  was $15.0 million  outstanding under  our revolving  credit
 facility, and we were in compliance with  or had obtained waivers of all  of
 our covenants.   In the  third quarter  of 2005,  we issued  a $4.0  million
 letter of credit  under this facility  to collateralize certain  obligations
 under the  agency agreement  between our  HGA Operating  Unit and  Clarendon
 National Insurance Company effective July 1, 2004.

    PAAC has a  $5.0 million revolving  credit facility  with JPMorgan  Chase
 Bank  which  terminates  June  30, 2007.  Principal outstanding  under  this
 revolving  credit  facility  generally  bears  interest  at   1%  above  the
 prime rate.   PAAC's obligations under  this revolving  credit facility  are
 secured by its  premium finance notes  receivables.   This revolving  credit
 facility contains various restrictive  covenants which, among other  things,
 require PAAC to maintain minimum amounts  of tangible net worth and  working
 capital.   As of  June 30,  2006, $2.3  million was  outstanding under  this
 revolving credit  facility  and PAAC  was  in  compliance with  all  of  its
 covenants.

                                  ===================     ===================

      For the three  months and  six months ended  June 30,  2005, no  shares
 attributable to outstanding stock options were excluded from the calculation
 of diluted earnings per share.  For the three and six months  ended June 30,
 2006, we reported a net loss, therefore, we excluded the effect of  dilutive
 securities in the calculation of diluted loss per share as the inclusion  of
 these securities would have been anti-dilutive.

 benefit cash balance plan  during the three months  ended June 30, 2006  and

 Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
           Results of Operations.

 Introduction

 Hallmark  Financial   Services,   Inc.  ("Hallmark"   and,   together   with
 subsidiaries, "we",  "us", "our")  is an  insurance holding  company  which,
 through its subsidiaries, engages in the sale of property/casualty insurance
 products to  businesses and  individuals. Our  business involves  marketing,
 distributing, underwriting and servicing commercial insurance in Texas,  New
 Mexico,  Idaho,  Oregon,  Montana,   Louisiana,  Oklahoma  and   Washington;
 marketing, distributing,  underwriting and  servicing non-standard  personal
 automobile insurance  in Texas,  New Mexico,  Arizona, Oklahoma  and  Idaho;
 marketing,  distributing,  underwriting   and  servicing  general   aviation
 insurance in 48 states; and providing  other insurance related services.  We
 pursue our  business activities  through subsidiaries  whose operations  are
 organized into producing units  and are supported  by our insurance  company
 subsidiaries.

 Our non-carrier insurance activities are organized by producing units into
 the following operational segments:

   *  HGA Operating Unit.  Our HGA Operating Unit includes the standard lines
      commercial property/casualty insurance products and services handled by
      our Hallmark General Agency, Inc. and Effective Claims Management, Inc.
      subsidiaries.

   *  TGA Operating Unit.  Our TGA Operating Unit includes the excess
      and surplus lines commercial property/casualty insurance products
      and services handled by our Texas General Agency, Inc., Pan
      American Acceptance Corporation ("PAAC") and TGA Special Risk, Inc.
      subsidiaries.  Our TGA Operating Unit also includes a relatively small
      amount of personal lines insurance handled by these subsidiaries.  The
      subsidiaries comprising our TGA Operating Unit were acquired effective
      January 1, 2006.

   *  Phoenix Operating Unit.  Our Phoenix Operating Unit includes the non-
      standard personal automobile insurance products and services handled
      by American Hallmark General Agency, Inc. and Hallmark Claims Services,
      Inc., both of which do business as Phoenix General Agency.

   *  Aerospace Operating Unit.  Our Aerospace Operating Unit includes
      the general aviation insurance products and services handled by our
      Aerospace Insurance Managers, Inc., Aerospace Special Risk, Inc. and
      Aerospace Claims Management Group, Inc. subsidiaries.  The subsidiaries
      comprising our Aerospace Operating Unit were acquired effective January
      1, 2006.

 The retained premium produced by these producing units is supported by the
 following insurance company subsidiaries:

   *  American Hallmark Insurance Company of Texas ("AHIC") presently retains
      all of the risks on the commercial property/casualty policies marketed
      by our HGA Operating Unit and assumes a portion of the risks on the
      commercial property/casualty policies marketed by our TGA Operating
      Unit.

   *  Gulf States Insurance Company ("GSIC"), which was acquired effective
      January 1, 2006, presently assumes a portion of the risks on the
      commercial property/casualty policies marketed by our TGA Operating
      Unit.

   *  Phoenix Indemnity Insurance Company ("PIIC") presently assumes all of
      the risks on the non-standard personal automobile policies marketed by
      our Phoenix Operating Unit and assumes a portion of the risks on the
      aviation property/casualty products marketed by our Aerospace Operating
      Unit.

 Effective January 1, 2006, our insurance company subsidiaries entered into a
 pooling arrangement pursuant to  which AHIC retains 59.9%  of the total  net
 premiums written by all  of our operating units,  PIIC retains 34.1% of  our
 total net premiums written and GSIC  retains 6.0% of our total net  premiums
 written.

 Prior to January 1, 2006,  our  HGA Operating Unit  was referred  to as  our
 Commercial Insurance Operation and our  Phoenix Operating Unit was  referred
 to as our Personal  Insurance Operation.  The  retained premium produced  by
 our  operating  units  was  supported  by   our  AHIC  and  PIIC   insurance
 subsidiaries. Discussions  for  periods prior  to  January 1,  2006  do  not
 include the operations of our TGA Operating Unit or our Aerospace  Operating
 Unit, each of which was acquired effective  January 1, 2006.  All share  and
 per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect a one-for-six reverse  split
 of all issued and  unissued shares of our  authorized common stock  effected
 July 31, 2006.

 Results of Operations

     Management Overview.  During the three months and six months ended  June
 30,  2006,  our  total  revenues  were  $47.2  million  and  $91.7  million,
 representing a  165.3% and  160.3% increase,  respectively, over  the  $17.8
 million and $35.2 million  in total revenues for  the comparable periods  of
 2005.   The  acquisitions  of  the TGA  Operating  Unit  and  the  Aerospace
 Operating Unit in the  first quarter of 2006  contributed $17.1 million  and
 $33.1 million to the increase in total revenues for the three months and six
 months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, as compared to the same periods in
 2005.  The  following table provides  additional information concerning  the
 increases in revenue contributed by these acquisitions (in thousands):

                                                Three Months     Six Months

                                                   =========       =========

     The retention of  business produced by the  HGA Operating Unit that  was
 previously retained  by third  parties also  contributed $16.9  million  and
 $31.2 million to the increase in revenue for the three months and six months
 ended June 30, 2006, respectively, but was partially offset by lower  ceding
 commission revenue of $4.3 million and $7.6 million and lower processing and
 services fees of $0.8 million and $1.5 million for the three and six  months
 ended June 30, 2006, respectively, attributable  to the shift  from a third-
 party  agency  structure  to an  insurance  underwriting  structure.  Earned
 premiums from our Phoenix Operating Unit  contributed  $0.7 million and $0.4
 million to the increase in revenue for  the three and six months ended  June
 30, 2006, respectively, but were offset  by lower ceding commission  revenue
 of $0.4 million and  $0.5 million and lower  processing and service fees  of
 $0.1 million and $0.2 million  for the three and  six months ended June  30,
 2006, respectively.  The investment of funds derived from the implementation
 of our 2005 capital plan contributed  another $1.5 million and $2.9  million
 to  revenue  for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.
 These increases  were partially  offset by  other-than-temporary  impairment
 charges on our equity investment portfolio of $1.2 million for the three and
 six months ended June 30, 2006.

       We reported net loss  of $2.8 million and  $0.4 million for the  three
 months and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, as compared to  net
 income of $2.0 million  and $3.8 million  in the same  periods in the  prior
 year.  On a diluted per  share basis, net loss was  $0.18 and $0.03 for  the
 three months  and six  months ended  June 30,  2006, respectively,  and  net
 income  per  share  was  $0.20  and  $0.44  for  the  same  periods in 2005.
 During the three  months and six months  ended  June 30,  2006, we  recorded
 $8.5 million  and  $9.6  million,  respectively,  of interest  expense  from
 amortization attributable to the  deemed discount on convertible  promissory
 notes issued in January, 2006.  (See Note 10, "Convertible Notes  Payable.")
 In  the  absence of  this non-cash  expense, our  net income  for the  three
 months and six months ended  June 30, 2006 would have been $2.5 million  and
 $5.7 million, respectively, representing a 25.7% and 47.9% increase over the
 similar periods  of  2005.  The  following is  a reconciliation  of our  net
 income without such interest expense to our reported results (in thousands).
 Management  believes  this  reconciliation  provides   useful   supplemental
 information in  evaluating the  operating  results  of  our  business.  This
 disclosure should not be viewed as  a substitute for net loss determined  in
 accordance with GAAP:

     Excluding  the interest  expense from  amortization  of discount  ,  the
 increase in net  income for the  three and six  months ended  June 30,  2006
 versus the same  periods in 2005  was primarily  attributable to  additional
 revenue from the  retention of the  HGA Operating  Unit business,  quarterly
 results from the newly acquired TGA Operating Unit and additional investment
 income, partially offset by additional loss  and loss adjustment expense  of
 the HGA Operating  Unit, additional operating  expenses attributable to  the
 retention of  business  produced  by  our  HGA  Operating  Unit,  additional
 operating expenses  attributable  to  our newly  acquired  operating  units,
 interest expense on our trust preferred  securities and interest expense  on
 borrowings to finance  the acquisitions of  our TGA Operating  Unit and  our
 Aerospace Operating Unit.

 Second Quarter 2006 as compared to the Second Quarter 2005

 HGA Operating Unit

       Beginning in the third quarter  of 2005, our HGA Operating Unit  began
 retaining written premium through AHIC that was previously retained by third
 parties.  This resulted in net written premium for the HGA Operating Unit of
 $21.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006.

       Total revenue for the HGA  Operating  Unit of  $19.3 million  for  the
 second quarter of 2006 was $12.7 million more than the $6.6 million reported
 in the second quarter of  2005.  This 193.0%  increase in total revenue  was
 primarily due to net premiums earned  of $16.9 million for the quarter  from
 the issuance of AHIC policies produced by the HGA Operating Unit.  Increased
 net investment income contributed an additional $1.0 million to the increase
 in  revenue  for the  quarter.  These increases  in revenue  were  partially
 offset by  lower  ceding  commission  revenue  of  $4.3  million  and  lower
 processing and service fees of $0.8 million, in both cases due to the  shift
 from a third party agency structure to an insurance underwriting  structure.

     Pre-tax  income for  our HGA  Operating  Unit of  $2.8 million  for  the
 second quarter  of 2006  increased $1.3  million, or  88.4%, over  the  $1.5
 million reported for  the second  quarter of  2005.   Increased revenue,  as
 discussed above, was the primary reason for the increase in pre-tax  income,
 partially offset by  increased loss and  loss adjustment  expenses of  $10.0
 million  and  additional  production  expenses of  $1.4  million.   The  HGA
 Operating Unit reported  a loss  ratio of 59.4%  for the  second quarter  of
 2006.  Our HGA Operating Unit  had no loss ratio  for the second quarter  of
 2005 because  we did  not retain  any of  the premium  produced by  our  HGA
 Operating Unit for this period.

 TGA Operating Unit

     The subsidiaries  comprising our TGA  Operating Unit  were all  acquired
 effective January 1, 2006.  The $15.2 million of revenues was derived mostly
 from third  party commission  revenue  of $7.5  million  on the  portion  of
 business produced  by the  TGA Operating  Unit that  was retained  by  third
 parties and from $6.8  million of earned premium  on produced business  that
 was assumed by  GSIC or AHIC.   The remaining  $0.9 million  of revenue  was
 primarily derived from investment income and finance charges.

     Pre-tax  income for  our TGA  Operating  Unit of  $3.4 million  was  due
 primarily to revenue  as discussed  above less  (i) incurred  loss and  loss
 adjustment expenses of $3.7 million on  the portion of the business  assumed
 by GSIC or AHIC, (ii) $7.5  million in operating expenses, comprised  mostly
 of commission expense and salary related expenses, and (iii) $0.5 million of
 amortization of  intangible  assets  acquired  in  the  acquisition  of  the
 subsidiaries  comprising  our TGA  Operating Unit.  The  TGA Operating  Unit
 reported a loss ratio of 54.2%  for the second quarter of  2006.  We do  not
 have a comparable loss ratio for the same period in 2005 as we acquired  the
 subsidiaries comprising the TGA Operating Unit effective January 1, 2006.

 Phoenix Operating Unit

     Net  premium written  for  our  Phoenix Operating  Unit  increased  $1.9
 million during the second quarter of 2006 to $10.7 million compared to  $8.8
 million in the second quarter of 2005.

     Revenue for the Phoenix  Operating Unit increased 6.2% to $11.9  million
 for the second quarter  of 2006 from  $11.2 million for  the same period  in
 2005.  Higher earned premium of $0.7 million  and  higher  investment income
 of $0.3  million was partiallyoffset by lower third party commission revenue
 of $0.4 million  andlower processing and service fee revenue of $0.1 million
 recognized in the second quarter of 2006 due to the  100%  assumption of the
 Texas non-standard personal automobile premium beginning late in 2004.

     Pre-tax income  for the Phoenix Operating  Unit decreased $0.1  million,
 or 2.7%, for the second quarter of  2006 compared to the second quarter  of
 2005.  The primary reason for the decline in pre-tax income for the  quarter
 was due to increased losses and  loss adjustment expenses of $1.0 million as
 evidenced  by  an  increase in the loss ratio to 62.3% versus 57.2% reported
 in  the  second  quarter  of 2005.  A competitive pricing environment with a
 bias towards  decreasing rates,  as  well  as favorable reserve  development
 recognized in 2005, were  the primary reasons for  the increase in the  loss
 ratio.  The increase in losses  and  loss adjustment expenses  was partially
 offset by the increases in revenue discussed above.

 Aerospace Operating Unit

     The  subsidiaries  comprising our  Aerospace  Operating  Unit  were  all
 acquired effective  January 1, 2006.   The  $2.0  million  of  revenues  was
 derived mostly  from  third  party commission  revenue  on  the  portion  of
 business retained by third parties.  We plan to begin retaining a portion of
 the premium produced by our Aerospace Operating Unit commencing in the third
 quarter of 2006.

     Pre-tax  income for  the Aerospace  Operating Unit  of $13,000  for  the
 second quarter of  2006 was due  to revenue discussed  above less  operating
 expenses of $1.8 million, comprised mostly of commission expense and  salary
 related expenses,  and $0.1  million of  amortization of  intangible  assets
 acquired in the acquisition of Aerospace.

 Corporate

      Corporate revenue decreased $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2006
 as  compared  to  the  same period  in 2005.  The decrease was primarily due
 to  $1.2  million  in other-than-temporary  impairment charges on our equity
 investment portfolio.  This was partially offset by $0.3 million in interest
 earned on a trust account established in the first quarter of  2006 securing
 the  guaranteed  future  payments  to the sellers  of  the  subsidiaries now
 comprising  our  TGA  Operating Unit.  (See Note 3, "Business  Combinations"
 and  Note 11,  "Structured  Settlements.")  Corporate pre-tax loss was $12.4
 million  for the second quarter of 2006 as compared to $0.9 million for  the
 same period  in 2005.  The increased  loss was  primarily  due  to decreased
 revenue   and   $8.5  million  in  interest  expense    from    amortization
 attributable  to  the  deemed  discount  on  convertible  promissory   notes
 issued  in  January,  2006.  (See  Note  10, "Convertible  Notes  Payable.")
 This interest expense had no impact on  our  cash  flow  or  our book value.
 Also contributing to the increased corporate pre-tax  loss   was  additional
 interest expense of  $1.5 million in the  second  quarter  of 2006 comprised
 of:  (i) $0.5  million from the trust preferred  securities  issued  in  the
 second quarter  of  2005 (see Note  8, "Notes Payable");  (ii)  $0.3 million
 from  the related party  promissory note issued in January  2006  (see  Note
 9,  "Note Payable  to  Related  Party"); (iii)  $0.3 million of amortization
 of  the  discount on  the  future guaranteed  payments  to  the  sellers  of
 the subsidiaries  now comprising  the  TGA  Operating  Unit  (see  Note  11,
 "Structured  Settlements");  (iv)  $0.3  million  from borrowings under  our
 revolving credit facility in January 2006  (see Note 8, "Notes Payable"  and
 Note 12, "Credit  Facilities");  and  (v)  $0.1  million  from  the issuance
 of  convertible  notes  issued  in  January 2006 (see  Note 10, "Convertible
 Notes  Payable").  Also contributing to the increase in pre-tax loss was the
 decrease in revenue discussed above.


 Year-to-Date 2006 as compared to Year-to-Date 2005

 HGA Operating Unit

       Beginning in the third quarter  of 2005, our HGA Operating Unit  began
 retaining written premium through AHIC that was previously retained by third
 parties.  This resulted in net written premium for the HGA Operating Unit of
 $43.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

     Total revenue for our HGA Operating Unit of $36.8 million for the  first
 six months of 2006 was $23.9 million more than the $12.9 million reported in
 the same  period  of  2005.   This  186.3%  increase in  total  revenue  was
 primarily due to net premiums earned  of $31.2 million from the issuance  of
 AHIC policies produced by our HGA Operating Unit.  Increased net  investment
 income contributed an additional $1.8 million to the increase in revenue for
 the six  months  ended June  30,  2006.   These  increases in  revenue  were
 partially offset  by lower  ceding commission  revenue of  $7.6 million  and
 lower processing and service fees of $1.5 million, in both cases due to  the
 shift from  a third  party agency  structure  to an  insurance  underwriting
 structure.

     Pre-tax income for our HGA Operating Unit of $6.1 million for the  first
 six months of 2006 increased $3.6 million, or 141.5%, over the $2.5  million
 reported for the first six months of 2005.  Increased revenue, as  discussed
 above, was the primary reason for the increase in pre-tax income,  partially
 offset by increased loss and loss  adjustment expenses of $17.8 million  and
 additional production  expenses of  $2.5  million.  The  HGA Operating  Unit
 reported a loss ratio of 57.2%  for the first six months  of 2006.  Our  HGA
 Operating Unit had no loss ratio for the first six months of 2005 because we
 did not retain any  of the premium  produced by our  HGA Operating Unit  for
 this period.

 TGA Operating Unit

     The subsidiaries  comprising our TGA  Operating Unit  were all  acquired
 effective January 1, 2006.  The $29.3 million of revenues was derived mostly
 from third  party commission  revenue of  $16.6 million  on the  portion  of
 business produced  by our  TGA Operating  Unit that  was retained  by  third
 parties and from $11.0 million of  earned premium on produced business  that
 was assumed by  GSIC or AHIC.   The remaining  $1.7 million  of revenue  was
 primarily derived mostly from investment income and finance charges.

     Pre-tax income for the TGA Operating Unit of $5.2 million was  primarily
 due to  revenue  as  discussed  above  less:  (i)  incurred  loss  and  loss
 adjustment expenses of $6.3 million on  the portion of the business  assumed
 by GSIC or AHIC; (ii) $16.7 million in operating expenses, comprised  mostly
 of commission expense and salary related expenses; and (iii) $1.0 million of
 amortization of  intangible  assets  acquired  in  the  acquisition  of  the
 subsidiaries comprising  our TGA  Operating Unit.   The  TGA Operating  Unit
 reported a loss ratio of 57.3% for the six  months ended June 30, 2006.   We
 do not  have a  comparable loss  ratio for  the same  period in  2005 as  we
 acquired the  subsidiaries  comprising  the  TGA  Operating  Unit  effective
 January 1, 2006.

 Phoenix Operating Unit

     Net  premium written  for  our  Phoenix Operating  Unit  increased  $2.3
 million during the  first six months  of 2006 to  $21.8 million compared  to
 $19.5 million in the first six months of 2005.

     Revenue for the Phoenix  Operating Unit increased 1.5% to $22.7  million
 for the first six months of 2006 from  $22.4 million for the same period  in
 2005.  Higher earned premium of $0.4 million and higher investment income of
 $0.5 million was partially offset by lower ceding commission revenue of $0.5
 million and lower processing  and  service fees  of  $0.2 million due to the
 100% assumption of the Texas non-standard automobile premium  beginning late
 in 2004.

     Pre-tax income  for the Phoenix Operating  Unit decreased $0.5  million,
 or 9.3%, for the first six months of 2006 compared to the first  six  months
 of 2005.  The primary reason for the decline in pre-tax income for the first
 six months of 2006 was increased losses and loss adjustment expenses of $1.0
 million as evidenced by an increase in the loss ratio to 62.4% versus  58.7%
 reported in the first six months of 2005.  A competitive pricing environment
 with  a  bias  towards  decreasing  rates,  as  well  as  favorable  reserve
 development recognized in 2005, were the primary reasons for the increase in
 the  loss  ratio.  The  increase  in losses and loss adjustment expenses was
 partially offset by the increase in revenue discussed above.


 Aerospace Operating Unit

     The  subsidiaries  comprising our  Aerospace  Operating  Unit  were  all
 acquired  effective  January 1, 2006.   The  $3.8  million of  revenues  was
 derived mostly  from  third  party commission  revenue  on  the  portion  of
 business retained by third parties.

     Pre-tax loss for our Aerospace  Operating Unit of $96,000 for the  first
 six months of 2006  was due to revenue  discussed above less: (i)  operating
 expenses of $3.6 million, comprised mostly of commission expense and  salary
 related expenses; (ii) loss  and loss adjustment  expenses of $0.2  million;
 and (iii) $0.2 million of amortization of intangible assets acquired in  the
 acquisition of the subsidiaries now comprising our Aerospace Operating Unit.

 Corporate

      Corporate  revenue  decreased  $0.9  million  for the  first six months
 of 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005.  The decrease was  primarily
 due  to  $1.2  million in  other-than-temporary  impairment  charges  on our
 equity investment  portfolio.  This was partially offset by $0.5 million  in
 interest earned on  a trust account  established  in  the  first  quarter of
 2006  securing  the  guaranteed  future  payments  to  the  sellers  of  the
 subsidiaries   now  comprising  our   TGA   Operating    Unit.  (See    Note
 3,  "Business   Combinations"  and  Note  11,   "Structured   Settlements.")
 Corporate  pre-tax  loss  was $15.9 million for  the  first  six  months  of
 2006  as  compared  to   $1.7  million  for  the  same period  in 2005.  The
 increased loss  was primarily  due  to decreased  revenue and  $9.6  million
 in interest expense from amortization attributable to the deemed discount on
 convertible  promissory  notes  issued  in  January,  2006.   (See  Note 10,
 "Convertible Notes Payable.")   This  interest expense had no impact on  our
 cash flow or our book  value.  Also contributing to the  increased corporate
 pre-tax  loss was  additional  interest  expense  of  $3.0  million  in  the
 first  six  months  of  2006 comprised  of: (i) $1.1 million from the  trust
 preferred securities  issued in  the second  quarter of  2005 (see  Note  8,
 "Notes Payable"); (ii) $0.6 million from  the related party promissory  note
 issued in January 2006 (see Note 9, "Note Payable to Related Party");  (iii)
 $0.5 million  of  amortization of  the  discount on  the  future  guaranteed
 payments to the sellers of the subsidiaries now comprising our TGA Operating
 Unit (see  Note  11,  "Structured  Settlements");  (iv)  $0.5  million  from
 borrowings under our revolving credit facility in January 2006 (see Note  8,
 "Notes Payable" and Note 12, "Credit Facilities"); and (v) $0.3 million from
 the issuance  of convertible  notes issued  in January  2006 (see  Note  10,
 "Convertible Notes Payable").


 Financial Condition and Liquidity

     Sources and Uses of Funds

     Our sources  of funds are  from insurance-related operations,  financing
 activities and investing activities.  Major sources of funds from operations
 include premiums collected (net of policy cancellations and premiums ceded),
 commissions,  and  processing  and  service  fees.  As  a  holding  company,
 Hallmark is  dependent on  dividend payments  and management  fees from  its
 subsidiaries to meet operating  expenses and debt obligations.   As of  June
 30, 2006, Hallmark had $2.6 million in  cash and invested assets.  Cash  and
 invested assets of our  non-insurance subsidiaries were  $3.5 million as  of
 June 30, 2006.

     Property  and casualty  insurance companies  domiciled in  the State  of
 Texas are limited in the payment  of dividends to their shareholders in  any
 12-month period, without the prior written  consent of the Texas  Department
 of Insurance, to the greater of statutory net income for the prior  calendar
 year or 10%  of statutory policyholders  surplus as of  the prior year  end.
 Dividends may only  be paid  from unassigned  surplus funds.   During  2006,
 AHIC's ordinary  dividend capacity  is $6.4  million.   PIIC,  domiciled  in
 Arizona, is limited  in the payment  of dividends to  the lesser  of 10%  of
 prior year  policyholders surplus  or prior  year's net  investment  income,
 without prior written approval from the  Arizona  Department  of  Insurance.
 During  2006,  PIIC's ordinary  dividend  capacity  is  $1.6 million.  GSIC,
 domiciled in Oklahoma, is limited in the payment of dividends to the greater
 of  10%  of  prior  year  policyholders  surplus  or  prior year's statutory
 net income,  without  prior  written  approval  from the Oklahoma  Insurance
 Department.  During 2006, GSIC's ordinary dividend capacity is $0.1 million.
 None  of AHIC, PIIC or GSIC paid a dividend to Hallmark during the first six
 months of 2006.  Neither  AHIC nor PIIC paid  a dividend to Hallmark  during
 2005.

     The Texas Department  of Insurance, the Arizona Department of  Insurance
 and the Oklahoma Insurance Department each regulates financial  transactions
 between  our  insurance   subsidiaries  and   their  affiliated   companies.
 Applicable regulations require approval of management fees, expense  sharing
 contracts and similar transactions. Phoenix General Agency paid $0.8 million
 in management fees to Hallmark during the  first six months of 2006 but  did
 not pay any management fees during the same period of 2005.  PIIC paid  $0.6
 million in management fees  to Phoenix General Agency  during the first  six
 months of 2006 and paid $0.7  million in management fees to Phoenix  General
 Agency during the same period in 2005. AHIC did not pay any management  fees
 during the first six months of 2006 or 2005. GSIC did not pay any management
 fees during the first six months of 2006.


     Comparison of June 30, 2006 to December 31, 2005

     On a consolidated basis, our cash and investments (excluding  restricted
 cash and  investments) at  June 30,  2006 were  $185.0 million  compared  to
 $139.6 million at December 31, 2005.  The  acquisitions  of the subsidiaries
 comprising our TGA Operating Unit and our Aerospace Operating Unit accounted
 for $21.0 million of this  increase, while the remainder of the increase was
 primarily  the  result  of the  retention  of  business  produced by our HGA
 Operating Unit and TGA Operating Unit.


     Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005

     Net cash  provided by our  consolidated operating  activities was  $29.6
 million for the first six  months of 2006 compared  to $2.2 million for  the
 first six months  of  2005.  The increase in  operating cash flow  primarily
 resulted from the  retention of HGA  Operating Unit and  TGA Operating  Unit
 business in the first six months of 2006 that was not retained by us in  the
 same period in 2005.  The net effect on operating cash flow was an  increase
 of $27.8 million  resulting from an  increase in collected  premiums net  of
 paid losses and loss adjustment expenses partially offset by lower collected
 commission and claim  fee  revenue.  Increased collected commission  revenue
 from the acquisition of the subsidiaries  comprising our TGA Operating  Unit
 and Aerospace Operating Unit and increased collected investment income  were
 offset by increased operating  expenses from these acquisitions,  additional
 interest paid  on  debt  financing  these  acquisitions  and  increased  tax
 deposits on higher taxable earnings.

     Cash used by  investing activities during the  first six months of  2006
 was $113.3 million as compared to $8.5 million for the same period in  2005.
 The  increase  in  cash  used  by investing  activities  is  mostly  due  to
 additional purchases  of debt,  equity and  short-term securities  of  $64.7
 million  and  the  acquisitions  of  the  subsidiaries  comprising  our  TGA
 Operating Unit and our Aerospace Operating Unit in the first quarter of 2006
 which used $26.0 million,  net of cash acquired.   Also contributing to  the
 increase in  cash used  by investing  activities was  the funding  of  $25.0
 million to a trust  account securing the future  guaranteed payments to  the
 sellers of the subsidiaries  comprising our TGA Operating  Unit, as well  as
 PAAC's $2.4  million repayment  of premium  finance  notes, net  of  premium
 finance notes  originated.  Partially offsetting  these  uses  was  a  $12.7
 million increase in net redemptions of  short-term investments in the  first
 six months of 2006 versus the same period in 2005.

     Cash provided  by financing activities  during the first  six months  of
 2006 was $52.5 million as compared to  $75.2 million for the same period  of
 2005.  The cash provided  in 2006 was primarily  from the issuance of  three
 debt instruments in  January.  The  first was a  promissory note payable  to
 Newcastle Partners,  L.P.  ("Newcastle Partners")  in  the amount  of  $12.5
 million to fund the cash required to close the Aerospace  acquisition.  This
 note bears interest  at the rate  of 10% per  annum.  The  unpaid  principal
 balance of  the  promissory  note, together  with  all  accrued  and  unpaid
 interest, became due and payable on demand as of June 30, 2006.  The  second
 debt instrument  was $25.0  million in  subordinated convertible  promissory
 notes to  the  Newcastle Special  Opportunity  Fund I,  L.P.  and  Newcastle
 Special Opportunity Fund II, L.P, (the "Opportunity Funds").  The  principal
 and accrued interest on the convertible notes was converted to approximately
 3.3 million  shares  of our common stock  during the second quarter of 2006.
 The $25.0 million raised with these notes  was used to fund a trust  account
 securing future guaranteed payments to the  sellers of the subsidiaries  now
 comprising our TGA  Operating  Unit.  The  third debt  instrument was  $15.0
 million borrowed  under  our revolving  credit  facility to  fund  the  cash
 required to close the acquisition of the subsidiaries now comprising our TGA
 Operating Unit.  Newcastle  Partners and the Opportunity  Funds are each  an
 affiliate of our Executive Chairman, Mark E.Schwarz.

      Credit Facilities

      On June 29, 2005,  we  entered into a  credit facility  with  The Frost
 National Bank.  The credit facility was amended and restated on January  27,
 2006 to  a $20.0  million revolving  credit facility,  with a  $5.0  million
 letter  of  credit  sub-facility.   We  borrowed  $15.0  million  under  the
 revolving credit facility to fund the cash required to close the acquisition
 of  the  subsidiaries  now comprising  our  TGA  Operating  Unit.  Principal
 outstanding under the revolving credit facility generally bears interest  at
 the  three  month Eurodollar rate plus  2.00%, payable quarterly in arrears.
 We  pay  letter  of  credit fees  at  the  rate  of  1.00%  per  annum.  Our
 obligations under the revolving  credit facility are  secured by a  security
 interest in the capital stock of all of our subsidiaries, guaranties  of all
 of our subsidiaries and the pledge of substantially all  of our assets.  The
 revolving credit  facility contains  covenants  which, among  other  things,
 require us to maintain certain financial  and operating ratios and  restrict
 certain distributions, transactions and organizational changes.  The amended
 and restated credit agreement  terminates on January 27,  2008.  As of  June
 30, 2006, there  was $15.0 million  outstanding under  our revolving  credit
 facility, and we were in compliance with  or had obtained waivers of all  of
 our  covenants.  We have  obtained a  waiver through  January 1, 2007  of  a
 covenant requiring us to  maintain a net  underwriting profit calculated  on
 the basis  of statutory  accounting principles.   The  waiver was  necessary
 primarily as a result of the immediate expensing under statutory  accounting
 principles  of  policy  acquisition  costs  attributable  to  the  increased
 retention of  premiums  produced by  our  HGA  Operating Unit  and  our  TGA
 Operating Unit, which costs are amortized over the life of the policy  under
 U.S. generally  accepted accounting  principles.   In the  third quarter  of
 2005, we  issued a  $4.0 million  letter of  credit under  this facility  to
 collateralize certain obligations under the agency agreement between our HGA
 Operating Unit  and  Clarendon National Insurance  Company effective July 1,
 2004.

      PAAC has a $5.0 million revolving  credit facility with JPMorgan  Chase
 Bank  which  terminates  June 30, 2007.  Principal  outstanding  under  this
 revolving  credit  facility  generally  bears  interest  at  1%   above  the
 prime  rate.  PAAC's obligations under  this revolving  credit facility  are
 secured by its  premium  finance  notes receivables.  This revolving  credit
 facility contains various restrictive  covenants which, among other  things,
 require PAAC to maintain minimum amounts  of tangible net worth and  working
 capital.  As  of  June 30, 2006,  $2.3  million was  outstanding under  this
 revolving credit  facility  and PAAC  was  in  compliance with  all  of  its
 covenants.

     Trust Preferred Securities

     On June 21, 2005, our newly formed trust subsidiary completed a  private
 placement  of  $30.0  million  of  30-year  floating  rate  trust  preferred
 securities.  Simultaneously,  we  borrowed  $30.9  million  from  the  trust
 subsidiary and  contributed  $30.0 million  to  AHIC in  order  to  increase
 policyholder surplus.  The note  bears  an initial interest  rate of  7.725%
 until June 15,  2015, at which  time interest will  adjust quarterly to  the
 three month LIBOR rate plus  3.25 percentage points.   As of June 30,  2006,
 the note balance was $30.9 million.

     Other Debt Obligations.

     On January 3, 2006, we  executed a promissory note payable to  Newcastle
 Partners in  the amount  of $12.5  million  in order  to obtain  funding  to
 complete the acquisition  of the subsidiaries  now comprising the  Aerospace
 Operating Unit. The promissory note bears interest at 10% per annum prior to
 maturity and at the maximum rate allowed under applicable law upon  default.
 Interest is payable on the first  business day of each month. The  principal
 of the promissory note,  together with accrued  but unpaid interest,  became
 due on demand as of June 30, 2006.

     On  January  27, 2006,  we  issued  an aggregate  of  $25.0  million  in
 subordinated convertible  promissory notes  to the  Opportunity Funds.  Each
 convertible note bore interest at 4% per annum, which rate increased to  10%
 per annum in the event of default. Interest was payable quarterly in arrears
 commencing March 31, 2006. Principal and all accrued but unpaid interest was
 due at maturity on July 27, 2007. The principal and accrued interest on  the
 convertible notes was converted to approximately  3.3 million shares of  our
 common stock during the second quarter of 2006.

     Structured Settlements

     In connection  with our acquisition of  the subsidiaries now  comprising
 our TGA Operating  Unit, we issued  to the sellers  promissory notes in  the
 aggregate principal  amount of  $23.7 million  payable $14.2  million on  or
 before January 1, 2007, and $9.5 million on  or before January 1, 2008.   We
 are also obligated to pay  to the sellers an  additional $0.8 million on  or
 before January 1, 2007 and an  additional $0.5 million on or before  January
 1, 2008 in consideration of the sellers' compliance with certain restrictive
 covenants, including a covenant  not to compete for  a period of five  years
 after closing.  We secured payment of these future installments of  purchase
 price and restrictive covenant consideration by depositing $25.0 million  in
 a trust account for the benefit of the  sellers.  We recorded a payable  for
 future guaranteed payments  to the sellers  of $25.0  million discounted  at
 4.4%, the rate of two-year U.S.  Treasuries purchased as the only  permitted
 investment  of  the  trust  account.  The  trust account  is  classified  in
 restricted cash and investments on our  balance sheet.  As of June 30, 2006,
 the balance of the structured settlements was $24.1 million.

     Conclusion

     Based on  budgeted and year-to-date  cash flow  information, we  believe
 that  we  have  sufficient  liquidity   to  meet  our  projected   insurance
 obligations, operational expenses and  capital expenditure requirements  for
 the next 12 months.  However, additional capital is required to satisfy  our
 $12.5 million  obligation  to Newcastle  Partners  which became  payable  on
 demand as of June 30, 2006.  No demand has  been made, and a portion of  the
 net proceeds to us from our previously announced stock offering are intended
 to be used to repay this indebtedness to Newcastle Partners.


 Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

      As of June 30, 2006, there had  been no material changes in the  market
 risks described in the Company's Form  10-K for the year ended December  31,
 2005.


 Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

     The principal executive  officer and principal financial officer of  the
 Company have evaluated the Company's disclosure controls and procedures  and
 have concluded that, as  of the end  of the period  covered by this  report,
 such disclosure  controls and  procedures were  effective in  ensuring  that
 information required to be disclosed by  the Company in the reports that  it
 files or  submits  under the  Securities  Exchange  Act of  1934  is  timely
 recorded,  processed,  summarized  and  reported.  The  principal  executive
 officer and principal financial officer also concluded that such  disclosure
 controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required
 to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under
 such Act  is  accumulated  and communicated  to  the  Company's  management,
 including its principal executive  officer and principal financial  officer,
 as appropriate, to  allow timely decisions  regarding  required  disclosure.
 During the most  recent fiscal quarter,  there have been  no changes in  the
 Company's internal controls  over financial reporting  that have  materially
 affected, or  are  reasonably likely  to  materially affect,  the  Company's
 internal control over financial reporting.

 Risks Associated with Forward-Looking Statements Included in this Form 10-Q

     This Form  10-Q contains certain  forward-looking statements  within the
 meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of  the
 Securities Exchange Act  of 1934, which  are intended to  be covered  by the
 safe  harbors  created  thereby.  These  statements include  the  plans  and
 objectives  of  management  for  future  operations,  including  plans   and
 objectives relating to  future growth of  the Company's business  activities
 and availability of funds.   The forward-looking statements included  herein
 are  based  on  current  expectations   that  involve  numerous  risks   and
 uncertainties.  Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with
 respect to,  among other  things, future  economic, competitive  and  market

                                   PART II
                              OTHER INFORMATION

 Item 1.   Legal Proceedings.

    The Company is  engaged in legal  proceedings in the  ordinary course  of
 business, none  of  which, either  individually  or in  the  aggregate,  are
 believed likely  to  have a  material  adverse effect  on  the  consolidated
 financial position  of the  Company or  the results  of operations,  in  the
 opinion of management.  The various  legal proceedings to which the  Company
 is a party are routine in nature and incidental to the Company's business.

 Item 1A.  Risk Factors.

    In addition  to the  other  information set  forth  in this  report,  you
 should carefully consider the following risk factors:


 Our success  depends  on  our  ability to  price  accurately  the  risks  we
 underwrite.

 Our results of operations and financial  condition depend on our ability  to
 underwrite and set  premium rates accurately  for a wide  variety of  risks.
 Adequate rates are necessary to generate premiums sufficient to pay  losses,
 loss settlement expenses and underwriting expenses and to earn a profit.  To
 price our  products  accurately, we  must  collect and  properly  analyze  a
 substantial amount  of data;  develop, test  and apply  appropriate  pricing
 techniques; closely  monitor and  timely recognize  changes in  trends;  and
 project both severity and frequency of losses with reasonable accuracy.  Our
 ability to undertake these efforts successfully,  and as a result price  our
 products accurately, is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, some
 of which are outside our control, including:

 *  the availability of sufficient reliable data and our ability to properly
    analyze available data;

 *  the uncertainties that inherently characterize estimates and assumptions;

 *  our selection and application of appropriate pricing techniques; and

 *  changes in applicable legal liability standards and in the civil
    litigation system generally.

 Consequently, we could  underprice risks, which  would adversely affect  our
 profit margins, or we  could overprice risks, which  could reduce our  sales
 volume and  competitiveness.  In either  case,  our profitability  could  be
 materially and adversely affected.


 Our  results  may  fluctuate  as  a  result  of  cyclical  changes  in   the
 property/casualty insurance industry.

 All of our revenue is attributable to property/casualty insurance, which  as
 an industry is cyclical in nature and has historically been characterized by
 soft markets  followed  by  hard markets.  A  soft  market is  a  period  of
 relatively high levels of  price competition, less restrictive  underwriting
 standards and generally  low premium  rates. A hard  market is  a period  of
 capital shortages resulting  in lack of  insurance availability,  relatively
 low  levels  of  competition,  more  selective  underwriting  of  risks  and
 relatively high premium rates. If we find it necessary to reduce premiums or
 limit premium  increases  due  to competitive  pressures  on  pricing  in  a
 softening market, we may experience a reduction in our premiums written  and
 in our  profit  margins  and revenues,  which  could  adversely  affect  our
 financial results.


 Estimating reserves is inherently  uncertain. If our  loss reserves are  not
 adequate, it will have an unfavorable impact on our results.

 We maintain  loss reserves  to cover  our estimated  ultimate liability  for
 unpaid losses  and  loss adjustment  expenses  for reported  and  unreported
 claims incurred as of the end of each accounting period. Reserves  represent
 management's estimates of what the ultimate settlement and administration of
 claims will  cost and  are not  reviewed by  an independent  actuary.  These
 estimates, which  generally  involve  actuarial projections,  are  based  on
 management's assessment of facts  and circumstances then  known, as well  as
 estimates of  future  trends  in  claim  severity  and  frequency,  judicial
 theories of liability, and  other factors. These  variables are affected  by
 both internal  and  external events,  such  as changes  in  claims  handling
 procedures, inflation,  judicial trends  and  legislative changes.  Many  of
 these factors are not quantifiable. Additionally, there may be a significant
 reporting lag between the occurrence of an event and the time it is reported
 to us. The  inherent uncertainties of  estimating reserves  are greater  for
 certain types  of  liabilities,  particularly those  in  which  the  various
 considerations affecting the  type of  claim are  subject to  change and  in
 which long periods of time may  elapse before a definitive determination  of
 liability is made. Reserve  estimates are continually  refined in a  regular
 and ongoing process as experience develops  and further claims are  reported
 and settled. Adjustments  to reserves are  reflected in the  results of  the
 periods in which  such estimates are  changed. For example,  a 1% change  in
 June 30, 2006 unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses would have produced
 a $0.5 million change to pretax earnings. Our gross loss and loss adjustment
 expense reserves totaled $52.1 million at  June 30, 2006. Our loss and  loss
 adjustment expense  reserves, net  of reinsurance  recoverables, were  $50.6
 million at  that date.  Because setting  reserves is  inherently  uncertain,
 there can be no assurance that the current reserves will prove adequate.


 Our  failure  to  maintain   favorable  financial  strength  ratings   could
 negatively impact our ability to compete successfully.

 Third-party rating agencies  assess and  rate the  claims-paying ability  of
 insurers based upon criteria established by the agencies. During 2005,  A.M.
 Best,  a  nationally  recognized  insurance  industry  rating  service   and
 publisher, upgraded the financial strength rating  of PIIC, from "B"  (Fair)
 to "B+" (Very  Good), and upgraded  the financial strength  rating of  AHIC,
 from "B" (Fair) to "A-" (Excellent). Our insurance company subsidiaries have
 historically been rated on an  individual basis. However, effective  January
 1,  2006,  our  insurance  company  subsidiaries  entered  into  a   pooling
 arrangement whereby AHIC  would retain 59.9%  of the  net premiums  written,
 PIIC would retain 34.1%  of the net premiums  written and GSIC would  retain
 6.0% of the  net premiums  written. As  a result,  in June  2006, A.M.  Best
 notified us that  our insurance  company subsidiaries  would be  rated on  a
 pooled  basis  and assigned a  rating of "A-" (Excellent)  to  each  of  our
 individual insurance  company subsidiaries  and to  the pool  formed by  our
 insurance company subsidiaries.

 These financial  strength  ratings  are  used  by  policyholders,  insurers,
 reinsurers and  insurance and  reinsurance  intermediaries as  an  important
 means of assessing  the financial strength  and quality  of insurers.  These
 ratings are not evaluations directed to  potential purchasers of our  common
 stock and are not recommendations to buy, sell or hold our common stock. Our
 ratings are subject to change at any  time and could be revised downward  or
 revoked at the sole discretion of  the rating agencies. We believe that  the
 ratings assigned  by A.M.  Best are  an important  factor in  marketing  our
 products. Our ability  to retain our  existing business and  to attract  new
 business in our insurance operations depends  largely on these ratings.  Our
 failure to  maintain our  ratings, or  any  other adverse  development  with
 respect to  our ratings,  could cause  our  current and  future  independent
 agents and insureds to  choose to transact their  business with more  highly
 rated competitors. If A.M. Best downgrades our ratings or publicly indicates
 that our ratings are under review, it is likely that we would not be able to
 compete as  effectively  with  our competitors,  and  our  ability  to  sell
 insurance policies could decline.  If that happens,  our sales and  earnings
 would decrease.  For  example,  many  of  our  agencies  and  insureds  have
 guidelines that require us to have an A.M. Best financial strength rating of
 "A-" or higher. A reduction of our A.M. Best rating below "A-" would prevent
 us from issuing policies to insureds or potential insureds with such ratings
 requirements. Because lenders and reinsurers will use our A.M. Best  ratings
 as a factor in deciding whether to transact business with us, the failure of
 our insurance company subsidiaries to  maintain their current ratings  could
 dissuade a lender or reinsurance company from conducting business with us or
 might increase our  interest or reinsurance  costs. In  addition, a  ratings
 downgrade by A.M.  Best below "A-"  would require us  to post collateral  in
 support of  our  obligations under  certain  of our  reinsurance  agreements
 pursuant to which we assume business.


 The loss of key executives could disrupt our business.

 Our success will depend  in part upon the  continued service of certain  key
 executives. Our  success will  also depend  on our  ability to  attract  and
 retain additional  executives  and  personnel. We  do  not  have  employment
 agreements with our Chief  Executive Officer or any  other of our  executive
 officers other than  employment agreements entered  into in connection  with
 the acquisitions of the subsidiaries now  comprising our TGA Operating  Unit
 and our  Aerospace  Operating  Unit.  The loss  of  key  personnel,  or  our
 inability to recruit and retain additional qualified personnel, could  cause
 disruption in our business and could prevent us from fully implementing  our
 business  strategies,  which  could  materially  and  adversely  affect  our
 business, growth and profitability.


 Our industry is very competitive, which  may unfavorably impact our  results
 of operations.

 The  property/casualty  insurance  market,  our  primary  source of revenue,
 is  highly  competitive  and,  except  for  regulatory  considerations,  has
 very few  barriers  to  entry.  According  to  A.M. Best,  there were  3,120
 property/casualty insurance companies and 2,019 property/casualty  insurance
 groups operating in  North America  as  of July 22, 2005.  Our HGA Operating
 Unit and  TGA  Operating Unit  compete  with  a variety  of  large  national
 commercial lines carriers such as Hartford,  Zurich, St. Paul Travelers  and
 Safeco, as well as numerous smaller regional companies. Although our Phoenix
 Operating Unit competes with large national insurers such as Allstate, State
 Farm  and  Progressive,  as  a  participant  in  the  non-standard  personal
 automobile  marketplace,  its  primary  competition  consists  of   numerous
 regional companies and  managing general agencies.  Our Aerospace  Operating
 Unit competes primarily with several other companies specializing in general
 aviation insurance, including Houston  Casualty Corp., Phoenix Aviation,  W.
 Brown & Company  and London Aviation  Underwriters. Our competitors  include
 entities which have,  or are affiliated  with entities  which have,  greater
 financial and other  resources than we  have. In  addition, competitors  may
 attempt to increase market share by  lowering rates. In that case, we  could
 experience reductions in our underwriting margins, or sales of our insurance
 policies could decline as customers purchase lower-priced products from  our
 competitors. Losing  business to  competitors offering  similar products  at
 lower prices, or having other competitive advantages, could adversely affect
 our results of operations.


 Our results may be unfavorably impacted if we are unable to obtain  adequate
 reinsurance.

 As part of our  overall risk and capacity  management strategy, we  purchase
 reinsurance for significant  amounts of risk,  especially catastrophe  risks
 that we and our insurance  company subsidiaries underwrite. Our  catastrophe
 and non-catastrophe reinsurance facilities are subject to annual renewal. We
 may be unable to  maintain our current reinsurance  facilities or to  obtain
 other reinsurance facilities in adequate amounts and at favorable rates. The
 amount, availability  and  cost of  reinsurance  are subject  to  prevailing
 market conditions beyond  our control and  may affect our  ability to  write
 additional premiums as well as our profitability. If we are unable to obtain
 adequate reinsurance protection for the risks we have underwritten, we  will
 either be exposed to greater losses from  these risks or we will reduce  the
 level of business that we underwrite, which will reduce our revenue.


 If the companies that  provide our reinsurance  do not pay  our claims in  a
 timely manner, we could incur severe losses.

 We purchase reinsurance by transferring, or ceding, part of the risk we have
 assumed to a  reinsurance company  in exchange for  part of  the premium  we
 receive  in  connection  with  the  risk.  Although  reinsurance  makes  the
 reinsurer liable to us to the extent the risk is transferred or ceded to the
 reinsurer, it does  not relieve us  of our liability  to our  policyholders.
 Accordingly, we bear credit risk with  respect to our reinsurers. We  cannot
 assure that our reinsurers will pay  all of our reinsurance claims, or  that
 they will pay our claims on a timely basis. At June 30, 2006, we had a total
 of  $3.1  million  due  us  from  reinsurers,  including  $1.5  million   of
 recoverables from losses and $1.6  million in prepaid reinsurance  premiums.
 The largest amount due us from  a single reinsurer as  of June 30, 2006  was
 $1.1 million reinsurance and premium recoverable from GE Reinsurance Corp.
 If any of our reinsurers are unable or unwilling to pay amounts they owe  us
 in a timely fashion,  we could suffer  a significant loss  or a shortage  of
 liquidity, which would have  a material adverse effect  on our business  and
 results of operations.


 Catastrophic losses are unpredictable and  may adversely affect our  results
 of operations, liquidity and financial condition.

 Property/casualty insurance companies are subject  to claims arising out  of
 catastrophes that  may  have  a  significant  effect  on  their  results  of
 operations, liquidity and financial condition. Catastrophes can be caused by
 various events, including hurricanes, windstorms, earthquakes, hail  storms,
 explosions, severe  winter  weather  and fires,  and  may  include  man-made
 events, such as the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the World  Trade
 Center.  The  incidence,  frequency,   and  severity  of  catastrophes   are
 inherently unpredictable.  The extent  of losses  from  a catastrophe  is  a
 function of both the total amount  of insured exposure in the area  affected
 by the event and the severity of the event. Claims from catastrophic  events
 could reduce our net income, cause  substantial volatility in our  financial
 results for any  fiscal quarter or  year or otherwise  adversely affect  our
 financial condition, liquidity  or results of  operations. Catastrophes  may
 also negatively affect our ability to  write new business. Increases in  the
 value and geographic concentration  of insured property  and the effects  of
 inflation could increase the severity of claims from catastrophic events  in
 the future.


 Catastrophe models may not accurately predict future losses.

 Along with other insurers in the industry, we use models developed by third-
 party vendors in assessing  our exposure to  catastrophe losses that  assume
 various conditions and probability scenarios.  However, these models do  not
 necessarily accurately predict  future losses or  accurately measure  losses
 currently incurred. Catastrophe models, which  have been evolving since  the
 early 1990s,  use  historical  information about  various  catastrophes  and
 detailed  information  about  our  in-force  business.  While  we  use  this
 information in connection with our  pricing and risk management  activities,
 there are limitations with respect to their usefulness in predicting  losses
 in any  reporting  period. Examples  of  these limitations  are  significant
 variations in estimates between models  and modelers and material  increases
 and decreases  in  model results  due  to  changes and  refinements  of  the
 underlying  data  elements  and   assumptions.  Such  limitations  lead   to
 questionable predictive capability and post-event measurements that have not
 been well understood or proven to be sufficiently reliable. In addition, the
 models are not  necessarily reflective of  company or state-specific  policy
 language, demand surge for labor and materials or loss settlement  expenses,
 all of  which are  subject to  wide variation  by catastrophe.  Because  the
 occurrence and severity of catastrophes are inherently unpredictable and may
 vary significantly from year to year,  historical results of operations  may
 not be indicative of future results of operations.


 We  are  subject  to  comprehensive  regulation,  and  our  results  may  be
 unfavorably impacted by these regulations.

 We are  subject to  comprehensive governmental  regulation and  supervision.
 Most  insurance  regulations  are  designed  to  protect  the  interests  of
 policyholders rather than  of the stockholders  and other  investors of  the
 insurance  companies.  These  regulations,  generally  administered  by  the
 department of insurance in  each state in which  we do business, relate  to,
 among other things:

 *  approval of policy forms and rates;

 *  standards of solvency, including  risk-based capital measurements,
    which are a measure developed by the National Association of Insurance
    Commissioners and used by the state insurance regulators to identify
    insurance companies that potentially are inadequately capitalized;

 *  licensing of insurers and their agents;

 *  restrictions on the nature, quality and concentration of investments;

 *  restrictions on the ability of insurance company subsidiaries to pay
    dividends;

 *  restrictions on transactions between insurance company subsidiaries and
    their affiliates;

 *  requiring certain methods of accounting;

 *  periodic examinations of operations and finances;

 *  the use of non-public consumer information and related privacy issues;

 *  the use of credit history in underwriting and rating;

 *  limitations on the ability to charge policy fees;

 *  the acquisition or disposition of an insurance company or of any company
    controlling an insurance company;

 *  involuntary assignments of high-risk policies, participation in
    reinsurance facilities and underwriting associations, assessments
    and other governmental charges;

 *  restrictions on the cancellation or non-renewal of policies and, in
    certain jurisdictions, withdrawal from writing certain lines of business;

 *  prescribing the form and content of records of financial condition to be
    filed;

 *  requiring reserves for unearned premium, losses and other purposes; and

 *  with respect to premium finance business, the federal Truth-in-Lending
    Act and similar state statutes. In states where specific statutes have
    not been enacted, premium finance is generally subject to state usury
    laws that are applicable to consumer loans.

 State insurance  departments  also  conduct  periodic  examinations  of  the
 affairs of  insurance  companies and  require  filing of  annual  and  other
 reports relating to the financial condition of insurance companies,  holding
 company issues and other  matters. Our business  depends on compliance  with
 applicable laws and regulations and our  ability to maintain valid  licenses
 and approvals for our operations. Regulatory authorities may deny or  revoke
 licenses for various reasons,  including violations of regulations.  Changes
 in the level of regulation of the  insurance industry or changes in laws  or
 regulations themselves or  interpretations by  regulatory authorities  could
 have a material adverse affect on our operations. In addition, we could face
 individual, group and class-action lawsuits by our policyholders and  others
 for alleged violations of certain state laws and regulations. Each of  these
 regulatory risks could have an adverse effect on our profitability.


 State statutes limit the aggregate amount of dividends that our subsidiaries
 may pay Hallmark, thereby limiting its funds to pay expenses and dividends.

 Hallmark is a holding company and a legal entity separate and distinct  from
 its subsidiaries. As a holding company without significant operations of its
 own, Hallmark's principal sources of funds  are dividends and other  sources
 of funds from its  subsidiaries. State insurance laws  limit the ability  of
 Hallmark's insurance company subsidiaries to  pay dividends and require  our
 insurance company  subsidiaries  to  maintain specified  minimum  levels  of
 statutory capital and  surplus. The  aggregate maximum  amount of  dividends
 permitted by law  to be paid  by an insurance  company does not  necessarily
 define an insurance company's  actual ability to  pay dividends. The  actual
 ability to  pay  dividends  may  be  further  constrained  by  business  and
 regulatory considerations, such as  the impact of  dividends on surplus,  by
 our competitive position and  by the amount of  premiums that we can  write.
 Without regulatory approval, the aggregate maximum amount of dividends  that
 could be paid to Hallmark in  2006 by our insurance company subsidiaries  is
 $8.1 million. State insurance regulators have broad discretion to limit  the
 payment  of  dividends  by  insurance  companies  and  Hallmark's  right  to
 participate in any distribution  of assets of one  of our insurance  company
 subsidiaries is  subject  to prior  claims  of policyholders  and  creditors
 except to the extent that its rights, if any, as a creditor are  recognized.
 Consequently, Hallmark's ability to pay  debts, expenses and cash  dividends
 to our stockholders may be limited.


 Our insurance  company  subsidiaries  are subject  to  minimum  capital  and
 surplus requirements. Failure to meet these requirements could subject us to
 regulatory action.

 Our insurance  company  subsidiaries  are subject  to  minimum  capital  and
 surplus requirements imposed under the laws of Texas, Arizona and  Oklahoma.
 Any failure by  one of our  insurance company subsidiaries  to meet  minimum
 capital and  surplus  requirements  imposed by  applicable  state  law  will
 subject it to corrective action, which  may include requiring adoption of  a
 comprehensive financial plan,  revocation of its  license to sell  insurance
 products or placing the subsidiary under  state regulatory control. Any  new
 minimum capital and surplus requirements adopted  in the future may  require
 us  to  increase  the   capital  and  surplus   of  our  insurance   company
 subsidiaries, which we may not be able to do.


 We are  subject to  assessments and  other  surcharges from  state  guaranty
 funds, mandatory reinsurance  arrangements and  state insurance  facilities,
 which may reduce our profitability.

 Virtually all states  require insurers licensed  to do  business therein  to
 bear a  portion  of  the  unfunded  obligations  of  impaired  or  insolvent
 insurance companies. These obligations are funded by assessments, which  are
 levied by guaranty associations within the  state, up to prescribed  limits,
 on all member insurers in the state on the basis of the proportionate  share
 of the premiums written by member insurers in the lines of business in which
 the impaired,  insolvent or  failed insurer  was engaged.  Accordingly,  the
 assessments levied on us  by the states  in which we  are licensed to  write
 insurance may increase as we increase our premiums written. In addition,  as
 a condition to the ability to conduct business in certain states,  insurance
 companies are required to participate in mandatory reinsurance funds such as
 the Texas Property and Casualty  Insurance Guaranty Association. The  effect
 of these assessments and mandatory  reinsurance arrangements, or changes  in
 them, could  reduce our  profitability  in any  given  period or  limit  our
 ability to grow our business.

 We are  currently  monitoring developments  with  respect to  various  state
 facilities, such as the  Texas FAIR Plan and  the Texas Windstorm  Insurance
 Association, and the  various guaranty funds  in which  we participate.  The
 ultimate impact  of recent  catastrophe experience  on these  facilities  is
 currently uncertain  but  could  result  in  the  facilities  recognizing  a
 financial deficit or a  financial deficit greater  than the level  currently
 estimated. They  may, in  turn, have  the  ability to  assess  participating
 insurers when financial deficits occur,  adversely affecting our results  of
 operations. While  these  facilities  are generally  designed  so  that  the
 ultimate cost is borne by policyholders, the exposure to assessments and the
 availability of recoupments or premium rate increases from these  facilities
 may not offset  each other in  our financial statements.  Moreover, even  if
 they do  offset each  other, they  may not  offset each  other in  financial
 statements for the  same fiscal  period due to  the ultimate  timing of  the
 assessments and  recoupments  or premium  rate  increases, as  well  as  the
 possibility of policies not being renewed in subsequent years.


 Adverse securities market  conditions can  have a  significant and  negative
 impact on our investment portfolio.

 Our results of operations depend in part on the performance of our  invested
 assets. As of June 30, 2006, 73.6% of our investment portfolio was  invested
 in fixed-income securities.  Certain risks are  inherent in connection  with
 fixed-income securities, including loss upon default and price volatility in
 reaction to  changes  in  interest rates  and  general  market  factors.  In
 general, the fair  market value of  a portfolio  of fixed-income  securities
 increases or decreases inversely with changes in the market interest  rates,
 while net investment income realized from future investments in fixed-income
 securities increases or  decreases along with  interest rates. In  addition,
 8.4% of our fixed-income  securities have call  or prepayment options.  This
 subjects us to reinvestment risk should interest rates fall and issuers call
 their securities.  Furthermore, actual  net  investment income  and/or  cash
 flows from investments that carry  prepayment risk, such as  mortgage-backed
 and other asset-backed securities, may differ from those anticipated at  the
 time of investment as a result of interest rate fluctuations. An  investment
 has prepayment risk when there is a risk that cash flows from the  repayment
 of principal  might  occur earlier  than  anticipated because  of  declining
 interest rates or later than anticipated because of rising interest rates.

 In addition to the  general risks described above,  although we maintain  an
 investment-grade portfolio, our fixed-income securities are also subject  to
 credit risk. If  any of the  issuers of our  fixed-income securities  suffer
 financial setbacks, the  ratings on the  fixed-income securities could  fall
 (with a concurrent fall in market value) and, in a worst case scenario,  the
 issuer could default on its obligations.  Future changes in the fair  market
 value of  our  available-for-sale  securities will  be  reflected  in  other
 comprehensive income. Similar  treatment is not  available for  liabilities.
 Therefore,  interest   rate   fluctuations  could   adversely   affect   our
 stockholders' equity, total comprehensive income and/or our cash flows.


 We rely on independent agents and  specialty brokers to market our  products
 and their failure  to do  so would  have a  material adverse  effect on  our
 results of operations.

 We  market  and  distribute  our  insurance  programs  exclusively   through
 independent insurance agents and specialty  insurance brokers. As a  result,
 our business depends in large part on the marketing efforts of these  agents
 and brokers and on our ability to offer insurance products and services that
 meet the  requirements  of the  agents,  the brokers  and  their  customers.
 However, these agents and brokers are  not obligated to sell or promote  our
 products and  many  sell  or  promote  competitors'  insurance  products  in
 addition to  our products.  Some of  our competitors  have higher  financial
 strength ratings, offer a larger variety  of products, set lower prices  for
 insurance coverage and/or offer higher commissions than we do. Therefore, we
 may not be  able to continue  to attract and  retain independent agents  and
 brokers to  sell  our  insurance  products.  The  failure  or  inability  of
 independent agents and brokers to market our insurance products successfully
 could have a material  adverse impact on  our business, financial  condition
 and results of operations.


 We may experience  difficulty in integrating  recent or future  acquisitions
 into our operations.

 We completed the acquisitions  of the subsidiaries  now comprising both  our
 TGA Operating Unit and our Aerospace Operating Unit during January 2006.  We
 may pursue additional acquisitions in the future. The successful integration
 of newly acquired businesses into our  operations will require, among  other
 things, the retention and  assimilation of their  key management, sales  and
 other personnel; the coordination of their  lines of insurance products  and
 services; the adaptation of their technology, information systems and  other
 processes; and the retention and  transition of their customers.  Unexpected
 difficulties in  integrating  any  acquisition  could  result  in  increased
 expenses and the diversion  of management time and  resources. If we do  not
 successfully integrate any acquired business into our operations, we may not
 realize the  anticipated benefits  of the  acquisition, which  could have  a
 material  adverse  impact  on  our   financial  condition  and  results   of
 operations. Further,  any  potential acquisitions  may  require  significant
 capital outlays and, if  we issue equity or  convertible debt securities  to
 pay for  an  acquisition, the  issuance  may  be dilutive  to  our  existing
 stockholders.


 Our geographic concentration ties our performance to the business,  weather,
 economic and regulatory conditions of certain states.

 The following five states  account for 94.6% of  our gross written  premiums
 for the six months ended June  30, 2006: Texas (49.1%), Oregon (18.6%),  New
 Mexico  (12.9%),  Idaho  (8.4%)  and   Arizona  (5.6%).  Our  revenues   and
 profitability are  subject to  the prevailing  regulatory, legal,  economic,
 political, demographic,  competitive, weather  and other  conditions in  the
 principal states in which we do business. Changes in any of these conditions
 could make it less attractive for us to do business in such states and would
 have a more  pronounced effect  on us compared  to companies  that are  more
 geographically diversified. In addition, our exposure to severe losses  from
 localized natural perils, such as windstorms or hailstorms, is increased  in
 those areas where we have  written significant numbers of  property/casualty
 insurance policies.


 The exclusions and limitations in our policies may not be enforceable.

 Many of the policies  we issue include exclusions  or other conditions  that
 define and limit coverage, which exclusions  and conditions are designed  to
 manage our exposure  to certain  types of  risks and  expanding theories  of
 legal liability. In addition, many of  our policies limit the period  during
 which a policyholder  may bring a  claim under the  policy, which period  in
 many cases is shorter than the statutory period under which these claims can
 be brought by our policyholders. While these exclusions and limitations help
 us assess and  control our loss  exposure, it is  possible that  a court  or
 regulatory authority could nullify  or void an  exclusion or limitation,  or
 legislation  could  be  enacted  modifying  or  barring  the  use  of  these
 exclusions and limitations.  This could  result in  higher than  anticipated
 losses and  loss  adjustment  expenses  by  extending  coverage  beyond  our
 underwriting intent or increasing the number or size of claims, which  could
 have a material adverse effect on our operating results. In some  instances,
 these changes may not become apparent  until some time after we have  issued
 the insurance policies that  are affected by the  changes. As a result,  the
 full extent of liability under our insurance contracts may not be known  for
 many years after a policy is issued.


 We rely on our information technology and telecommunications systems and the
 failure or  disruption of  these systems  could disrupt  our operations  and
 adversely affect our results of operations.

 Our business  is  highly dependent  upon  the successful  and  uninterrupted
 functioning of our information technology and telecommunications systems. We
 rely on these systems to process new and renewal business, provide  customer
 service, make claims payments and facilitate collections and  cancellations,
 as well as to perform actuarial and other analytical functions necessary for
 pricing and product development. Our systems could fail of their own  accord
 or  might  be  disrupted  by  factors  such  as  natural  disasters,   power
 disruptions or surges,  computer hackers  or terrorist  attacks. Failure  or
 disruption of these systems for any reason could interrupt our business  and
 adversely affect our results of operations.

     George R. Manser     14,280,025          59

    At the Annual Meeting, stockholders  of the Company approved an  increase
 in the authorized  capital stock of  the Company from  16,666,667 shares  of
 common stock  to  33,333,333  shares  of common  stock.    Votes  were  cast
 14,174,088 in favor of  and 105,088 opposing such  proposal, with 908  votes

 TGA  Operating  Unit.  Votes were  cast  11,913,860 in  favor of  and  9,454
 opposing  such proposal,  with  9,308  votes  abstaining and 2,347,462 broker
 non-votes.

    All of the foregoing share amounts  have been adjusted to reflect a  one-
 for-six reverse stock split effected July 31, 2006.
