Part I, Item 2

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

OPERATIONS

Three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to three months ended September
30, 2001:

A net loss of $(17,872) was recorded for the third quarter of 2002 in comparison
to a net income of $97,759 for the same period of 2001. The decline in the
results is due to decrease in the net realized capital gain (loss) for the
period in comparison to the same period in 2001. Earned premiums for the third
quarter of 2002 amounted to $1,382,612 as compared to $1,600,860 for the third
quarter of 2001, a decrease of $218,248 or 13.6%. Premiums written for the three
months ended September 30, 2002 were $1,922,290, as compared to $1,769,244 for
the third quarter of 2001, an increase of $153,046 or 8.7%.

The loss ratio for the third quarter of 2002 was 90.0% for the current treaty,
as compared to 94.8% for the same period of 2001. The loss ratio of 90.0%
represents management's current estimated effective loss rate selected in
consultation with the Company's independent consulting actuary to apply to
current premiums assumed and earned. The Company's overall loss ratio for the
year ended December 31, 2001 was 94.7%.

OPERATIONS--(Continued)

Policy acquisition costs of $413,268 were expensed in the third quarter of 2002
as compared to $473,937 for the same period of 2001, a decrease of $60,669 or
12.8%. Such costs as a percentage of premiums earned are 29.9% and 29.6% for the
quarters ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Policy acquisition
costs result from ceding commissions paid to ceding companies determined
contractually pursuant to reinsurance agreements and federal excise taxes paid
on premiums written to ceding companies.

These fluctuations in premiums, losses and expenses combined to result in a net
underwriting loss of $(488,590) for the third quarter of 2002 as compared to
$(506,051) for the same period of 2001, an improvement of $17,461 or 3.5%. The
improvement is due to a decrease in the recorded losses.

Investment yield for the third quarter of 2002 was 1.2%, consisting of interest
and dividend income, and represents a decrease from the 4.1% return earned in
the third quarter of 2001. Sales of securities during the third quarter of 2002
resulted in realized capital losses of $129,060, as compared to gains of
$118,211 in the third quarter of 2001. Losses recorded in the third quarter of
2002 primarily related to sales of equities. Proceeds from these sales were
subsequently reinvested in other equity securities.

Nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to nine months ended September 30,
2001:

Net income of $711,342 was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2002
in comparison to a net income of $125,503 for the nine months ended September
30, 2001. The improved results are due to a decrease of incurred losses.

Sales of securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 resulted in
realized capital gains of $752,808 as compared to $367,480 in the same period of
2001. Gains recorded in 2002 primarily related to sales of equities, which were
reinvested in other equity securities. Net investment income through September
30, 2002 was $1,533,858 compared to $1,702,203 for the same period of 2001.
Investment yield for the nine months period was approximately 4.27% as compared
to 4.8% for the first nine months of 2001.

Earned premiums for the first nine months of 2002 amounted to $4,680,080 as
compared to $4,756,478 for 2001. The change of $76,398 represents a 1.6%
decrease. The decrease in earned premiums is attributable to the timing of
policies written under the current treaty compared to the same period in 2001.
Premiums written in the nine months ended September 30, 2002 were $4,804,372 as
compared to $4,711,792 for the same period in 2001. The increase of $92,580 is
due to the continued growth of the AICPA Professional Liability Insurance Plan
("AICPA Plan"), an increase in the number of insureds under the AICPA Plan, and
certain rate increases associated with a "step plan" that was initiated during
1995. Under the step plan, insureds are offered discounted premium rates for
favorable loss experience. However, as these insureds experience losses their
premiums are "stepped up" accordingly. Because of the use of claims-made
policies, as the number of years of coverage provided increases, CNA's (and
AIG's) exposure increases. This additional exposure results in an increase in
premiums charged.

The loss ratio through the first nine months of 2002 was 90.0% as compared to
98.1% for the same period of 2001. The loss ratio of 90.0% represents
management's current estimated effective loss ratio selected in consultation
with the Company's independent consulting actuary.

OPERATIONS--(Continued)

Losses recorded through September 30, 2002 do not reflect any development of
prior year reserves. The Company's actuary provides a range for loss reserves at
December 31 each year. At December 31, 2001 the Company's management determined
that the reserve should be $29,242,625. This amount is within, and at the upper
end of the range provided by the actuary. Due to the inherent uncertainty in
reserving for accountants' professional liability claims management believes
this is an appropriate reserving policy. It should be noted that any reserve
amount selected in the range has a direct effect on the net income of any given
year, as well as shareholders' equity and the book value per share of the
Company. Management will review the actuary's report at December 31, 2002 and
select a reserve amount based on the recommendations of the actuary and the
maturity of the related loss reserves.

Policy acquisition costs of $1,381,868 were expensed in the first nine months of
2002 as compared to $1,402,714 for the same period of 2001, a decrease of 1.5%.
Such costs as a percentage of premiums earned are 29.5% and 29.5% for the
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Policy
acquisition costs result from ceding commissions paid to ceding companies which
are determined contractually pursuant to reinsurance agreements and federal
excise taxes paid on premiums written to ceding companies. These fluctuations
combined to result in a net underwriting loss of $(1,575,324) for the nine month
period as compared to $(1,944,180) for the same period in 2001, an improvement
of $368,856 or 19.0%. The more favorable underwriting results in 2002 are due to
the loss ratio of 90.0% in 2002, compared to 98.1% in 2001.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

As of September 30, 2002, total invested assets amounted to $47,682,708, a
decrease of $1,258,506 or 2.6% from $48,941,214 at December 31, 2001. Cash and
cash equivalents balances decreased from $2,855,781 at December 31, 2001 to
$1,966,236 at September 30, 2002, a decrease of $889,545, or 31.1%. The amount
of cash and cash equivalents varies depending on the maturities of fixed term
investments and on the level of funds invested in money market mutual funds. The
ratio of cash and invested assets to total liabilities at September 30, 2002 was
1.38:1, compared to a ratio of 1.41:1 at September 30, 2001.

Assumed reinsurance premiums receivable represents current assumed premiums
receivable less commissions payable to the fronting carriers. This balance was
$1,145,874 at December 31, 2001 and $1,030,423 at September 30, 2002. This
balance fluctuates due to the timing of renewal premiums written. Reinsurance
balances payable represents AIG's estimate of the premiums due to the Company's
reinsurer under the retrocession agreements described above, and amounts
currently due for losses and loss adjustment expenses payable. At December 31,
2001 and at September 30, 2002 the balance was $174,833.

AMERINST INSURANCE GROUP, LTD.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATAIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
INFLATION

The Company does not believe its operations have been materially affected by
inflation. The potential adverse impacts of inflation include: (a) a decline in
the market value of the Company's fixed maturity investment portfolio; (b) an
increase in the ultimate cost of settling claims which remain unresolved for a
significant period of time; and (c) an increase in the Company's operating
expenses. However, the Company generally holds its fixed maturity investments to
maturity and currently believes that the yield is adequate to compensate the
Company for the risk of inflation. In addition, any increase from inflation in
the ultimate cost of settling unpaid claims will be offset by investment income
earned during the period that the claim is outstanding. Finally, the increase in
operating expenses resulting from inflation should generally be matched by
similar inflationary increases in the premium rates.

Market Sensitive Instruments

Market risk generally represents the risk of loss that may result from potential
change in the value of a financial instrument due to a variety of market
conditions. The Company's exposure to market risk is generally limited to
potential losses arising from changes in the level of interest rates on market
values of fixed term holdings and changes in the market values of equity
securities. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments
for either trading or hedging purposes.

     a)   Interest Rate Risk.

     Interest rate risk results from the Company's holdings in
interest-rate-sensitive instruments. The Company is exposed to potential
losses arising from changes in the level of interest rates on fixed rate
instruments held. The Company is also exposed to credit spread risk resulting
from possible changes in the issuer's credit rating. To manage its exposure to
interest rate risk the Company attempts to select investments with
characteristics that match the characteristics of the related insurance
liabilities. Additionally, the Company generally only invests in higher-grade
interest bearing instruments.

     b)   Foreign Exchange Risk.

     The Company only invests in U.S. dollar denominated financial instruments
and does not believe it has any exposure to foreign exchange risk.

     c)   Equity Price Risk

     Equity price risk arises from fluctuations in the value of securities held.
The Company invests in equity securities in order to diversify its investment
portfolio, which Management believes will assist the Company to achieve its goal
of long-term growth of capital and surplus. Management has adopted investment
guidelines that set out rate of return and asset allocation targets, as well as
degree of risk and equity investment restrictions to minimize exposure to
material risk from changes in equity prices.

The tables below provide information about the Company's available for sale
investments that are sensitive to change in interest rates at September 30, 2002
and December 31, 2001 respectively. We believe that a 100 basis point interest
rate change would not have a material affect on the Company's financial
position.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

On June 1, 2000, the Board of Directors of AmerInst Investment Company, Ltd
("Investco"), which holds almost all of the Company's investment portfolio,
authorized to spend up to $1 million to purchase outstanding Common Shares of
the Company. On September 8, 2000, the Bermuda Monetary Authority authorized the
purchase of up to 15,000 Common Shares pursuant to the June 1 Board
authorization. Such purchases are effected through privately negotiated
transactions and are in addition to Investco's practice of redeeming the shares
of individuals who have died or retired from the practice of public accounting.
Subsequently, on July 19, 2002, the Bermuda Monetary Authority authorized
blanket permission for Investco to purchase Common Shares from individuals who
have died or retired from the practice of public account and on a negotiated
case-by-case basis without limit. To date, Investco has purchased 13,281 Common
Shares for a purchase price of $411,353. In addition, to date Investco has
purchases 10,759 Common Shares from individuals who have died or retired for a
purchase price of $471,625. The Company paid its twenty-ninth consecutive
quarterly dividend of $0.65 per share during the third quarter of 2002.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Company carried out an
evaluation, under the supervison and with the participation of the Company's
management, including the Company's President and Chief Financial Officer, of
the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure
controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a - 14. Based upon that
evaluation, the President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting
them to material information relating to the Company (including it's
consolidated subsidiaries) as required to be included in the Company's periodic
SEC filings. There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal
controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls
subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
