INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors
Brooke Corporation:

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of

BROOKE CORPORATION

as of June 30, 2002 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements of
income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the six month
periods then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures
to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial
and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit
conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an
opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we
do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the accompanying financial statements for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

market" policies in Nevada through the Company's network of agents and through

bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity, is licensed as an insurance agency and
was created to offer property, casualty, life and health insurance through
certain agents with loans originated by Brooke Credit Corporation.

FIRST BROOKE INSURANCE AND FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC. is a Texas corporation
controlled through a contractual agreement with stockholders. The corporation is
used for licensing purposes. The corporation is consolidated with Brooke
Corporation for financial statement reporting.

(b) USE OF ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of certain assets, liabilities and disclosures.
Accordingly, the actual amounts could differ from those estimates. Any
adjustments applied to estimated amounts are recognized in the year in which
such adjustments are determined.

The following are significant estimates made by management: accrued commission
refund obligations, reimbursement from agents for commission refund obligations,
Buyers Assistance Program unearned and earned percentages, and the fair value
assumptions utilized for interest-only strip receivables. It is at least
reasonably possible these estimates will change in the near term.

(c) CASH EQUIVALENTS

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all cash on
hand, cash in banks and short-term investments purchased with a maturity of
three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

(d) ALLOWANCE FOR BAD DEBTS

The Company considers all accounts and notes receivable to be fully collectible,
therefore no allowance has been recognized for uncollectible amounts.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

(e) REVENUE RECOGNITION

Commission revenue on insurance policy premiums is generally recognized as of
the effective date of the policies or, in certain cases, as of the effective
date or billing date, whichever is later. Contingent and profit sharing
commissions are generally recognized when received. Premiums due from the
insured to the Company are reported as assets of the Company and as
corresponding liabilities, net of commissions, to the insurance carriers.

In the event of cancellation or reduction in premiums, for policies billed by an
insurance carrier, a percentage of the commission revenue is often returned to
the insurance carrier. The commission refunds are calculated by the insurance
carriers and are typically deducted from amounts due to the Company from
insurance carriers. The Company has estimated and accrued a liability for
commission refunds of $326,306 and $267,217 as of June 30, 2002 and 2001,
respectively.

The Company provides consulting, marketing and cash flow assistance to agency
owners during the first year of agency ownership through a Buyers Assistance
Plan ("BAP") program. The Company has allocated the fees paid by agents for BAP
assistance to each of the services provided by the Company and the fee
associated with a particular service is recognized as revenue using the
percentage of completion accounting method by referencing the costs incurred to
date. Many of the BAP services (inspection reports, operations analysis,
marketing plan development) are provided by the Company before, or within thirty
days after, agency acquisition so approximately 58% of BAP fees are immediately
recognized as revenue. An additional 20% of BAP and related fees are recognized
during the first year of agency ownership leaving approximately 22% of related
fees unearned, and the revenue recognized, after the BAP period expires. The
allocation of fees may change if the nature, or timing, of BAP related services
change. Unearned BAP fees were $1,270,697 and $100,846 at June 30, 2002 and
2001, respectively.

Revenues from finders fees, gains on sale of agencies and seller discounts are
recognized immediately because the Company has no continuing obligation.

(f) PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Depreciable assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is charged to expense using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets.

(g) EXCESS COST OF PURCHASED SUBSIDIARY

Included in other assets are unamortized costs of purchased subsidiaries (Brooke
Life and Health, Inc. and The American Agency, Inc.) in excess of the fair value
of underlying net tangible assets acquired. The balance is being amortized over
a 15-year period using an accelerated 150% declining balance switching to
straight-line method. Amortization expense (excluding servicing asset
amortization expense of $109,079) was $56,776 for the period ended June 30,
2002. The "excess cost of purchased subsidiary" resulted from the purchase of a
subsidiary corporation. In 2001, management elected to reclassify Investment in
Agencies of $316,520 to this account because management's intention was no
longer to sell these agencies, which, primarily consisted of an agency doing
business as Brooke Life/Health.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

In the third and fourth quarters of 2000, Interstate Insurance Group, LTD's
primary supplier began exiting the limousine insurance market, which comprised
virtually all of Interstate's insurance business, and revenues began decreasing.
Based on these circumstances, revenue and cash flow projections were revised,
resulting in the recognition of impairment losses in the Interstate unit of the
insurance agency business segment of $300,000 and $162,877, in 2000 and 2001,
respectively. The amount of the Interstate impairment losses corresponds to the
amounts recorded as Excess Cost of Purchased Subsidiary as disclosed in footnote
15.

(h) INCOME TAXES

Income taxes are provided for the tax effect of transactions reported in the
financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes
related to net operating loss carryforwards that are available to offset future
taxable income. The Company files its federal income tax return on a
consolidated basis with its subsidiaries.

(i) INVESTMENT IN AGENCIES

The assets included in the "Investment in Agencies" category is the purchase
price paid for agency assets. These assets are available for sale and are
carried at the lower of cost or market. The Company acquires insurance agency
assets to hold in inventory for sale to its agents. The number of agencies
purchased for this purpose for the period ending June 30, 2002 and 2001 was
15 and 10, respectively. Correspondingly, the number of agencies sold from
inventory for the period ending June 30, 2002 and 2001 was 16 and 10,
respectively. At June 30, 2002 the "Investment in Agencies" inventory
consisted of a Texas agency purchased during 2001, at a total cost of
$594,446.

In 2001, management elected to reclassify Investment in Agencies of $316,520 to
other assets because management's intention was no longer to sell these
agencies, which primarily consists of an agency doing business as Brooke
Life/Health.

(j) GAIN OR LOSS ON SALE OF ASSETS

"Investment in Agencies" gains or losses are the difference between the
insurance agency's sales price and the insurance agency's book value, which is
carried at the lower of cost or fair value. Insurance agencies are typically
sold in the same units as purchased. However, in instances where a part, or
segment, of an insurance agency unit is sold, then management estimates the fair
value of the segment of the insurance agency unit being sold and the difference
between the sales price and the resulting fair value estimation is the amount of
the gain or loss. Any such fair value estimation is evaluated for reasonableness
by comparing the market value estimation of the segment to the book value for
the entire insurance agency unit. Fair value estimations are based on comparable
sales information that takes into consideration agency characteristics such as
customer type, customer account size, supplier size and billing methods.

(k) CONTRACTS DATABASE

This asset consists of standardized loan documents which have been developed by
Brooke Corporation. These contracts are available for sale to others that make
these types of loans, by first purchasing a license from Brooke Corporation. A
complete review and revision is scheduled for all loan documents every five
years, therefore, the asset is being amortized over a five year period.

(l) DEFERRED CHARGES

Deferred charges relate to costs associated with the public offering of
preferred stock and bonds. Selling expenses, auditor fees, legal costs and
filing charges associated with the Company's public offering of stock totaled
$810,337 and have been offset against stock proceeds. Similar costs associated
with the Company's public offering of bonds totaled $291,371 and are classified
as prepaid expenses that are amortized over a period ending at bond maturity.
Net of amortization, the balance of all such prepaid expenses as of June 30,
2002 was $189,323.

(m) EQUITY RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES

Convertible preferred stockholders shall be entitled to a 9% cumulative dividend
in cash of the liquidation value of such stock per share per annum, as

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

(n) PER SHARE DATA

Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income, less preferred
stock dividends declared in the period (whether or not paid) and the dividends
accumulated for the period on cumulative preferred stock (whether or not
earned), by the average number of shares of the Company's common stock
outstanding. Total preferred stock dividends declared during the periods ended
June 30, 2002 and 2001 were $114,299 and $8,979, respectively. Diluted net
income per share is calculated by including the probable conversion of preferred
stock to common stock, and then dividing net income, less preferred stock
dividends declared on non-convertible stock during the period (whether or not
paid) and the dividends accumulated for the period on non-convertible cumulative
preferred stock (whether or not earned), by the adjusted average number of
shares of the Company's common stock outstanding.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

(o) BUYER ASSISTANCE PLAN

The Company introduced a consulting program (Buyer Assistance Plan or "BAP") to
provide assistance to agency buyers during the first months of insurance agency
ownership. Although most of the BAP services provided by the Company are
performed in the first month of agency ownership, some of the BAP services are
performed later and a portion of BAP fees are therefore deferred until the cost
of providing the service is incurred. Unearned buyer assistance plan fees are
$1,270,697 and $100,846 at June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

(p) PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation of the financial statements.

(q) ACCOUNTS AND NOTES RECEIVABLE, NET

The net notes receivable included as part of the "Accounts and Notes Receivable,
Net" asset category are available for sale and are carried at the lower of cost
or market. Accordingly, any changes in the net notes receivable balances are
classified as an operating activity.

(r) OTHER RECEIVABLES

Included in this category are reimbursements due from agents for possible
cancellation of policies, advances of commission to agents, receivables from
sellers on contracts of services and advances to vendors on behalf of franchise
agents. Most of these amounts are collected within 30 days from borrowers or
agents and all amounts are collected within 12 months from date of recording.

(s) ADVERTISING

The Company expenses the costs of advertising as they are incurred. Total
advertising expense for the period ending June 30, 2002 and 2001 was $266,072
and $40,515, respectively.

Total accounts and notes receivable, net $ 8,760,500 $ 4,471,323
================ ==================

*The Company has a corresponding liability for interest payable to participating
lenders in the amounts of $306,330 and $317,236 at June 30, 2002 and 2001,
respectively.

Loan participation represents the transfer of notes receivable, by sale, to
"participating" banks and finance companies. The Company receives
consideration from the participating entities. In accordance with SFAS 140
ACCOUNTING FOR TRANSFERS AND SERVICING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND
EXTINGUISHMENTS OF LIABILITIES, these transfers are accounted for as sales.
The transferred assets (i.e. notes receivable) are isolated from the Company.
The participating companies obtain the right, free of conditions that
constrain it from taking advantage of that right, to pledge or exchange the
notes receivables. In addition, the Company does not maintain control over
the transferred assets and the transfer agreements do not entitle the Company
or obligate the Company to repurchase or redeem the notes receivable before
their maturity. Based on management's experience the carrying value for notes
receivable approximates the fair value.

When the Company sells participation in notes receivable to investors, it
retains servicing rights and interest income which are retained interests in the
loan participations. Gain or loss on sales of the notes receivable depends in
part on the previous carrying amount of the financial assets involved in the
transfer, allocated between the assets sold and the retained interests based on
their relative fair value at the date of transfer.

In all loan participation sales, the Company retains servicing responsibilities
for which it typically receives annual servicing fees ranging from .25% to
1.375% of the outstanding balance. In those instances whereby annual service
fees received by the Company are less than the cost of servicing, which is
estimated at .25% of the outstanding balance, a servicing liability is recorded.
Additionally, the Company often retains interest income. The Company's right to
interest income is not subordinate to the investor's interests and the Company
shares interest income with investors on a prorata basis. Although not
subordinate to investor's interests, the Company's retained interest is subject
to credit and prepayment risks on the transferred financial assets.

2. NOTES RECEIVABLE (CONT.)

During the period ended June 30, 2002, the Company sold $27,564,256 (138) loan
participations for which servicing rights and interest receivable was retained.
Corresponding pre-tax gains of $1,190,892 were recorded for the period ending
June 30, 2002. During the period ended June 30, 2001, the Company sold
$9,055,783 (47) loan participations for which servicing rights and interest
receivable was retained. Corresponding pre-tax gains of $286,145 were recorded
for the period ending June 30, 2001. Subsequent to the initial recording at fair
value, the servicing asset is amortized in proportion to and over the period of
estimated net servicing income. Additionally, impairment of the servicing asset
is subsequently evaluated and measured. Subsequent to the initial recording at
fair value, interest only receivables are measured as debt securities classified
as available for sale.

Of the agency loans at June 30, 2002 and 2001, $9,993,743 and $7,993,732,
respectively, are sold to various participating lenders with recourse to Brooke
Credit Corporation. Such recourse is limited to the amount of actual principal
and interest loss incurred and any such loss is not due for payment to the
participating lender until such time as all collateral is liquidated, all
actions against the borrower are completed and all liquidation proceeds applied.
However, participating lenders may be entitled to periodic advances from Brooke
Credit Corporation against liquidation proceeds in the amount of regular loan
payments. Brooke Credit Corporation is not obligated, under any circumstances,
to repurchase any loans sold to participating lenders prior to maturity or final
resolution. All such recourse loans: a) have no balances more than 60 days past
due; b) have adequate collateral; c) and are not in default.

The expense provision associated with the Company's recourse obligation is based
on the estimated fair value of the obligation. During the periods ended June 30,
2002 and June 30, 2001, the Company sold $2,191,074 and $2,804,385,
respectively, of loan participations for which the Company provided recourse.

To obtain fair values of retained interests and recourse obligations, quoted
market prices are used if available. However, quotes are generally not
available for retained interests, so the Company typically estimates fair
value based on the present value of future expected cash flows estimated
using management's best estimates of key assumptions, credit losses,
prepayment speed and discount rates commensurate with the risks involved.

The predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans of the Company's
servicing assets have been analyzed by management to identify how to stratify
servicing assets for the purpose of evaluating and measuring impairment. The
underlying loans are very similar in virtually all respects, however management
has concluded that those underlying loans with adjustable interest rates should
be evaluated separately from loans with fixed interest rates. Accordingly,
different key economic assumptions would be used when determining the fair value
of fixed rate loans than have been used for adjustable rate loans. However, the
total amount of underlying loans that are fixed rate is not material so no
evaluation of fair value has been made for the fixed rate loan stratum. As such,
all underlying loans are part of the same stratum and have been evaluated using
the key economic assumptions identified for adjustable rate loans. No valuation
allowance has been established because the fair value for the adjustable rate
loan stratum is not less than the carrying amount of the servicing assets.

Although substantially all of the company's loans are adjustable, a discount
rate has been applied to reflect the net present value of future revenue
streams. As such, changes in the net present value rate, or discount rate,
resulting from interest rate variations, would adversely affect the asset's fair
value.

The fair value of the interest-only strip receivable is calculated by estimating
the net present value of interest income on loans sold using the discount rate
and prepayment speeds noted in the following table. The fair value of the
interest-only strip receivable is reduced by the amount of estimated credit
losses, which are calculated using the estimated credit loss percentage noted in
the following table. On June 30, 2002 and 2001, the fair value of the
interest-only strip receivable recorded by the Company was $896,466 and
$144,343, respectively. The Company has classified the interest-only receivable
asset as available for sale.

The fair value of the "Servicing Asset" (or liability) is calculated by
estimating the net present value of net servicing income (or expense) on loans
sold using the discount rate and prepayment speeds noted in the following table.
On June 30, 2002 and 2001, the fair value of the servicing asset recorded by the
Company was $715,769 and $146,779, respectively.

Key economic assumptions used in measuring the retained interests and recourse
obligations at the date of loan participation sales completed during the year
were as follows (rates per annum):

Agency Loans (Adjustable Rate Agency Loans (Fixed-Rate Stratum)
Stratum)*

Prepayment speed 10% 10%
Weighted average life (MONTHS) 101.18 N/A
Expected credit losses 5% 5%
Discount rate 8.5% 11.00%

*Rates for these loans are adjusted based on an index (for most loans, the New
York prime rate plus 3.50%). Contract terms vary but, for most loans, the rate
is adjusted annually on December 31st.

At June 30, 2002, key economic assumptions and the sensitivity of the current
fair value of residual cash flows to immediate 10 percent and 20 percent adverse
changes in those assumptions are as follows:

Agency Loans Agency Loans
(Adjustable Rate (Fixed Rate
Stratum) Stratum)

PREPAYMENT SPEED ASSUMPTION (ANNUAL RATE) 10% N/A

These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution. The effect
of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the servicing
asset and recourse liability is calculated without changing any other
assumption; in reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another,
which might magnify or counteract the sensitivities. The numbers used above are
actual dollar amounts and not listed in the thousands.

The above adverse changes are calculated on the Company's retained interests in
loans sold to participating lenders totaling $44,547,040 and excludes unsold
loans totaling $2,521,609. The above adverse changes for expected credit losses
are calculated on the Company's retained interests in loans sold with recourse
to participating lenders totaling $9,993,743 and excludes unsold and
non-recourse loans totaling $37,074,906.

The following illustrate how the changes in fair values were calculated for 10%
and 20% adverse changes in key economic assumptions (prepayment speed of 10%,
credit loss rate of 5% and discount rate of 8.5%).

11. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "ACCOUNTING FOR ASSET RETIREMENT
OBLIGATIONS" which amends SFAS No. 19 "FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING BY
OIL AND GAS PRODUCING COMPANIES". This statement applies to all entities. It
applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived
assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and (or)
the normal operation of a long-lived asset, except for certain obligations of
lessees. SFAS 143 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset
retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if
a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset
retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the
long-lived asset. The provisions of SFAS 143 are required to be applied
starting with fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. Management
continues to evaluate the impact that adoption of SFAS 143 will have on its
consolidated financial statements.

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT
OR DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS" which supersedes FASB No. 121 "ACCOUNTING
FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE
DISPOSED OF", and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No.
30, "REPORTING THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS-REPORTING THE EFFECTS OF DISPOSAL OF
A SEGMENT OF A BUSINESS, AND EXTRAORDINARY, UNUSUAL AND INFREQUENTLY
OCCURRING EVENTS AND TRANSACTIONS". SFAS 144 also amends ARB No. 51
"Consolidated Financial Statements". SFAS 144 has been applied to the second
quarter 2002 financial statements.

On June 30, 2000, the Company acquired 900 shares of Interstate Insurance

of the shares outstanding. The total purchase price was estimated to be
$1,200,000 plus Interstate's net tangible book value. However, that portion
of the purchase price exceeding net tangible book value was contingent upon
future revenues. Therefore, in accordance with paragraph 80 of APB 16, the
purchase price was recorded as an asset when cash payments were made to the
sellers. Cash payments of $300,000 and $162,877 were recorded in 2000 and
2001, respectively, as Excess Cost of Purchased Subsidiary. As disclosed in
footnote 1 (g) to these financial statements, these amounts were subsequently

18. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "BUSINESS COMBINATIONS," and SFAS
No. 142, "GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS", collectively referred to as
the "Standards," which were effective for the Company as of January 1, 2002.
SFAS No. 141 supercedes APB No. 16, "BUSINESS COMBINATIONS." The provisions
of SFAS No. 141 (1) require that the purchase method of accounting be used
for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, (2) provide
specific criteria for the initial recognition and measurement of intangible
assets apart from goodwill, and (3) required that un-amortized negative
goodwill be written off immediately as an extraordinary gain instead of being
deferred and amortized. SFAS No. 141 also requires that, upon adoption of
SFAS No. 142, the Company reclassify the carrying amounts of certain
intangible assets into or out of goodwill, based on certain criteria. SFAS
No. 142 supercedes APB No. 17, "INTANGIBLE ASSETS," and is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. SFAS No. 142 primarily
addresses the accounting for goodwill and intangible assets subsequent to
their initial recognition. The provisions of SFAS No. 142 (1) prohibit the
amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, (2) require
that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets be tested annually for
impairment (and in interim periods if certain events occur indicating that
the carrying value of goodwill and/or indefinite-lived intangible assets may
be impaired), (3) require that reporting units be identified for the purpose
of assessing potential future impairments of goodwill, and (4) remove the
forty-year limitation on the amortization period of intangible assets that
have finite lives.

The following table adjusts reported net income and earnings per share for
the six months ended June 30, 2001 (prior to the adoption date) to exclude
amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful
lives:

definite useful lives have a value of $1,379,887 and $932,602 as of June 30,
2002, and June 30, 2001, respectively. These assets are included in "Other
Assets" in the balance sheet. Amortization expense was $165,855 and $90,648
for the period ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

Brooke Corporation's (the "Company") discussion of its financial
condition and operating results and plan of operations includes
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based
upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant
business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of
which are beyond the Company's control and are subject to change. Actual
operating and financial results of the Company and the Company's actual plan
of operations may differ materially from the stated plan of operations.

CAUTIONS ABOUT FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

The following cautionary statement is made for the purpose of taking
advantage of any defenses that may exist under the law, including common law.
Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives,
goals, strategies, expectations, future events or performance and underlying
assumptions and other statements that are not statements of historical facts.
This document contains forward-looking statements which can be identified by
the use of words such as "intend," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate,"
"project," or "expect" or other similar statements. These forward-looking
statements involve risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results
or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking
statements. Brooke Corporation's (the "Company") expectations, beliefs and
projections are expressed in good faith and are believed by the Company to
have a reasonable basis, including without limitation, management's
examination of historical operating trends, data contained in the Company's
records and data available from third parties. However, there can be no
assurance that management's expectations, beliefs or projections will occur
or be achieved or accomplished.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company's consolidated results of operations have been
significantly impacted by the Company's expansion of territory and personnel
in recent years. Revenues are expected to continue to increase in 2002 as a
result of the foregoing.

Although the Company plans to eventually market its Master Agent,
facilitator and programs services to other financial services professionals,
currently virtually all of the Company's financial activity results from
insurance sales or lending to insurance agents. As such, management has
organized a portion of its discussion and analysis into an insurance agency
segment and a finance company segment.

The Company's revenues are comprised primarily of commissions paid
by insurance companies in connection with the Company's insurance agency
operations. Commission revenues typically represent a percentage of insurance
premiums paid by policyholders. Premium amounts and commission percentage
rates are established by insurance companies, so the Company has little or no
control of the commission amount

43

generated from the sale of a specific insurance policy. The Company primarily
relies on the recruitment of additional agents to increase commission revenue.

The Company's finance subsidiary generates most of its revenues from
interest margins resulting from the origination of loans to the Company's
agents and from gains on the sale of agent loan participations. The finance
subsidiary funds its loan portfolio primarily through the sale of loan
participation interests to other lenders and the sale of bonds to investors.
The finance subsidiary also expects to issue asset backed notes and has
recently organized two special purpose entities for this purpose. Covenants
related to the issue of bonds by the finance company restrict the payment of
dividends by the finance company subsidiary.

On February 22, 2002, the Company, through a wholly-owned
subsidiary, entered into an agreement to purchase Centerville State Bank in
Centerville, Kansas. However, regulatory approval of the proposed acquisition
was not obtained prior to the agreement termination date of June 30, 2002 so
the acquisition was not consummated. The Company continues to explore ways,
such as bank acquisitions, to offer banking services through its agents.

On May 23, 2002, the Company entered into an agreement with Colin
and Julie Davidson to acquire on July 1, 2002 a 100% ownership interest in
CJD & Associates, L.L.C. for $2,024,816 and additional undetermined amounts
that are contingent upon the acquired company's future agency revenues. CJD &
Associates, L.L.C. operates an insurance agency wholesaler that sells
insurance programs and excess surplus lines insurance.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001

Net income for the second quarter of 2002 was $273,653 or $.27 per
share, compared with net income in the second quarter of 2001 of $231,079 or
$.32 per share. Total revenues for the second quarter of 2002 were
$9,581,651, which is an increase of approximately 46% from total revenues of
$6,546,606 during the comparable period of the prior year.

Payroll and other operating expenses also increased primarily as a
result of the Company's expansion of its insurance agency operations. Payroll
expenses increased to $1,525,640 in the second quarter of 2002 from $968,148
in the second quarter of 2001, which is an increase of approximately 58%.
Other operating expenses increased to $1,154,096 in the second quarter of
2002 from $451,130 in the second quarter of 2001, which is an increase of
approximately 156%.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased to $160,365 in the
second quarter of 2002 from $118,565 in the second quarter of 2001, which is
an increase of approximately 35%.

44

The Company's effective tax rate on income was 34.0% in the second
quarter of 2002 and 34.0% in the second quarter of 2001. The Company has
recorded deferred tax assets of $67,665 and $480,716 as of June 30, 2002 and
June 30, 2001 respectively. Based on the Company's recent profitability and
management's projections of continued profitability in 2002, the Company
expects the deferred tax asset to be fully realized.

On June 30, 2002, the Company's largest asset category was accounts
and notes receivables, which totaled $8,760,500 and was comprised of notes
receivable balances, accrued interest on notes receivables and customer
receivable balances. Although a loss allowance was made for the Company's
long-term loss exposure related to its recourse liability on loans sold to
participating lenders, no loss allowance has been made for the Company's
accounts and notes receivables because these assets have a short term
exposure to loss and the Company has experienced minimal credit losses. All
of the Company's notes receivables are held for sale and typically sold
within a short period of time. Most of the Company's accounts receivables are
agent obligations that are paid at the next monthly statement settlement so
accounts receivables are typically paid within 30 days.

On June 30, 2002, customer receivables were $5,862,128, which is an
increase of approximately 67% from $3,517,710 at June 30, 2001. Customer
receivables increased at a slightly lower rate than the rate at which
Company's revenues increased. On June 30, 2002, notes receivables were
$2,521,610, which is an increase of approximately 468% from $444,082 at June
30, 2001. Notes receivables increased significantly, primarily as a result of
management's decision to temporarily retain more loans in its "held for sale"
portfolio. On June 30, 2002, accrued interest on notes receivables was
$376,762, which is a decrease of approximately 26% from $509,531 at June 30,
2001.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $831,133 or
$.98 per share, compared with net income for the comparable period of the
prior year of $724,738 or $1.03 per share. Total revenues for the six months
ended June 30, 2002 were $18,003,120, which is an increase of approximately
55% from total revenues of $11,600,698 during the comparable period of the
prior year. This increase is primarily the result of the Company's recent
expansion of its insurance agency operations.

Payroll and other operating expenses also increased primarily as a
result of the Company's expansion of its insurance agency operations. Payroll
expenses increased to $2,984,151 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from
$1,832,972 in the comparable period of the prior year, which is an increase
of approximately 63%. Other operating expenses increased to $1,922,005 for
the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $833,220 in the comparable period of
the prior year, which is an increase of approximately 131%. Other operating
expenses increased much faster than revenues largely as a result of opening
additional insurance service center locations.

45

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased to $305,855 for the
six months ended June 30, 2002 from $230,648 in the comparable period of the
prior year, which is an increase of approximately 33%. The increase is
primarily attributable to amortization expense associated with the Company's
recent loan participation sales activity.

ANALYSIS BY SEGMENT

The Company separates insurance agency operations from finance
company operations when analyzing performance. In the first six months of
2002 and 2001, most of the Company's revenues were generated from its
insurance agency operations. However, most of the profits for the first six
months of 2002 were generated from finance company operations.

INSURANCE AGENCY SEGMENT

For performance comparisons of insurance agency operations, the
Company typically analyzes operating profits and operating profit margins.
Operating profits for the Company's insurance agency operations are defined
as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The
Company typically expects operating profit margins, including insurance
related facilitator profits, from insurance agency operations in excess of
10%. For the three months ending June 30, 2002, the Company's insurance
agency operating profits, including insurance related facilitator profits,
were $62,570 on insurance commissions and fees of $8,833,374, resulting in an
operating profit margin of approximately 1%. During the comparable period of
2001, insurance agency operating profits, including insurance related
facilitator profits, were $356,946 on insurance commissions and fees of
$6,324,144, resulting in an operating profit margin of approximately 6%. For
the six months ending June 30, 2002, the Company's insurance agency operating
profits, including insurance related facilitator profits, were $342,473 on
insurance commissions and fees of $16,376,030, resulting in an operating
profit margin of approximately 2%. During the comparable period of 2001,
insurance agency operating profits, including insurance related facilitator
profits, were $1,150,895 on insurance commissions and fees of $11,194,614,
resulting in an operating profit margin of approximately 10%. The significant
decrease of operating profit margins in the first six months of 2002 from the
comparable period in 2001 occurred because insurance commission income
increased at a much slower rate than expenses for this segment, especially
other operating expenses and commissions expense paid to agents.

Insurance commission income in the second quarter of 2002 increased to
$7,441,079 or approximately 34%, from $5,557,361 in the second quarter of 2001.
Insurance commissions increased primarily as a result of the Company's recent
expansion. Commissions expense paid to the Company's agents in the second
quarter of 2002 increased to $6,174,404 or approximately 36%, from $4,547,920 in
the second quarter of 2001. Insurance commission income in the first six months
of 2002 increased to $13,497,693 or approximately 32%, from $10,252,831 in the
comparable period of 2001. Commissions expense paid to the Company's agents in
the first six months of 2002 increased to $11,210,737, or approximately 52%,
from $7,377,527 in the comparable period of the prior year. Commissions expense
paid to agents increased at a faster rate

46

than insurance commission income because the Company has increased the share
of sales commissions paid to agents and because a smaller share of the
Company's insurance commissions result from the sales of "targeted market"
policies for which the commission rates paid to agents are generally less.

Included in insurance commission income are profit sharing
commissions, which are the Company's share of insurance company profits on
policies written by the Company's agents. Profit sharing commissions were
$54,807 for the three-month period ending June 30, 2002 or approximately 1%
of insurance commission income. During the comparable period of 2001, profit
sharing commissions were $158,064 or approximately 3% of insurance commission
income. Profit sharing commissions were $497,349 for the six-month period
ending June 30, 2002 or approximately 4% of insurance commission income.
During the comparable period of 2001, profit sharing commissions were
$632,552 or approximately 6% of insurance commission income.

Insurance commission income is reduced by the estimated amount of
commission refunds resulting from future policy cancellations and revenue was
correspondingly reduced by $13,307 and $13,844 for the quarters ending June
30, 2002 and June 30, 2001, respectively and reduced by $29,464 and $33,651
for the six month periods ending June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001,
respectively. A corresponding liability has been accrued in the amounts of
$326,306 and $267,217 as of June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001 respectively.

Fee income from the Company's insurance related facilitator
activities, such as consulting, agency finders fees, gains on agency sales
and agency seller discounts increased to $1,392,295 in the second quarter of
2002 from $766,783 in the comparable period of the prior year and increased
to $2,878,337 for the first six months of 2002 from $941,783 in the
comparable period of the prior year. Revenues from buyer's finder fees have
been differentiated from revenues for gains on sale of agencies because
finder's fees represent amounts received from prospective agency buyers for
the Company's efforts in locating an agency to acquire from an unaffiliated
third party seller. In these instances, the Company does not purchase the
agency into inventory. On the other hand, gains on sale of agencies represent
the net gains received for the sale of agencies directly acquired by the
Company and held in its inventory. Revenues from finders fees, gains on sale
of agencies and seller discounts are recognized immediately because the
Company has no continuing obligation. The Company provides consulting and
other assistance to agency owners during the first months of agency ownership
through a Buyers Assistance Plan ("BAP") program. The Company records BAP
income using the percentage of completion accounting method, so $1,270,697 of
BAP fees were deferred as of June 30, 2002 and a corresponding liability was
recorded by the Company.

During the first six months of 2002, William Tyer and Gerald Lanio
agreed to cancel any debt owed to them by the Company resulting from the
Company's acquisition of Interstate Insurance Group, LTD in June 2000.
Messrs. Tyer and Lanio were motivated to cancel this debt because the
purchase agreement structure resulted in some potential adverse income tax
consequences to the sellers. As consideration for the

47

cancellation of debt, the Company amended Messrs. Tyer's and Lanio's
employment agreements to provide for bonus payments equal to a percentage of
net commissions received.

FINANCE COMPANY SEGMENT

Finance company operations consist primarily of lending to insurance
agents. Agent loans are typically annually adjustable rate loans made for the
purpose of acquiring insurance agencies. Net interest income and gross
servicing income for the quarters ending June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001 were
$217,670 and $121,507 respectively. Net interest income and gross servicing
income for the six months ending June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001 were
$436,198 and $119,939 respectively.

The increase in net interest margins and gross servicing income is
primarily the result of a larger loan portfolio and the resulting loan
participation sales. When analyzing the impact that net interest margins and
gross servicing income have on the Company's overall finance company
operations, consideration should be given to amortization of the Company's
servicing asset and subsequent adjustments to the Company's interest
receivable asset referenced in the following discussion on loan participation
sales.

Revenues of $542,367 and $143,944 were recorded during the quarters
ending June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001 to realize a gain on the sale of notes
receivables from recognition of the servicing asset and interest receivable
asset resulting from the sale of loan participation. Revenues of $1,295,555
and $267,867 were recorded during the six month periods ending June 30, 2002
and June 30, 2001 to realize a gain on the sale of notes receivables from
recognition of the servicing asset and interest receivable asset resulting
from the sale of loan participation.

As part of its finance company's operations, the Company typically
sells most of the insurance agent loans it originates to participating
lenders. As such, gains or losses were recognized, loans were removed from
the balance sheet and residual assets, representing the present value of
future cash flows, were recorded. Loan participation sales have made a
significant impact on the Company's financial condition and results of
operations. The following discussion describes this impact on the
Consolidated Statements of Income, Consolidated Balance Sheets and the credit
quality of the off-balance sheet loans sold with recourse.

In all sales of participations in insurance agent loans, the Company
retains servicing responsibilities for which it typically receives annual
servicing fees ranging from .25% to 1.375% of the outstanding balance. A gain
is recognized immediately upon the sale of a loan participation when the
annual servicing fees exceed the cost of servicing, which is estimated at
..25% of the outstanding loan balance. In those instances where annual service
fees received by the Company are less than the cost of servicing, a loss is
immediately recorded. The gain or loss associated with loan servicing is
determined based on a present value calculation of future cash flows from
servicing the underlying loans, net of prepayment assumptions. For the
quarters ending June 30, 2002

48

and June 30, 2001, the net gains from loan servicing totaled $212,537 and
$37,632 respectively which included gains from servicing benefits of $216,233
and $56,735 respectively and losses from servicing liabilities of $3,696 and
$19,103 respectively. For the six month periods ending June 30, 2002 and June
30, 2001, the net gains from loan servicing totaled $527,433 and $147,864
respectively which included gains from servicing benefits of $535,278 and
$166,967 respectively and losses from servicing liabilities of $7,845 and
$19,103 respectively.

In addition to loan servicing fees, the Company often retains
interest income when participations in insurance agent loans are sold. The
Company records a gain on sale for the interest benefit based on a present
value calculation of future cash flows of the underlying loans. The Company's
right to interest income is not subordinate to the investor's interests and
the Company shares interest income with investors on a prorata basis.
Although not subordinate to investor's interests, the Company's retained
interest is subject to credit and prepayment risks on the transferred
financial assets. In those instances where the Company provides recourse, a
loss is recorded based on a present value calculation of future cash flows of
the underlying loans. For the quarters ending June 30, 2002 and June 30,
2001, the net gains from interest benefits totaled $285,815 and $63,323
respectively which included gross gains from interest benefits of $297,329
and $108,503 respectively and losses from recourse liabilities of $11,514 and
$45,180 respectively. For the six month periods ending June 30, 2002 and June
30, 2001, the net gains from interest benefits totaled $663,459 and $138,281
respectively which included gross gains from interest benefits of $684,618
and $234,939 respectively and losses from recourse liabilities of $21,159 and
$96,658 respectively. Gains from servicing and interest benefits are
typically non-cash gains as the Company receives cash equal to the carrying
value of the loans sold. The Company has allocated the previous carrying
amount between the assets sold and the corresponding retained interests,
however cash in excess of the previous carrying amount is not generated by
loan sales. A corresponding adjustment has been made on the Statement of Cash
Flows to reconcile net income to net cash flows from operating activities.

Underlying assumptions used in the initial determination of future
cash flows on the participation loans accounted for as sales include the
following:

Agency Loans Agency Loans
(Adjustable Rate Stratum) (Fixed-Rate Stratum)

Prepayment speed* 10% 10%
Weighted average life* 101.18 months N/A
Expected credit losses* 5.0% 5.0%
Discount Rate* 8.5% 11.00%

*Annual rates

Gain-on-sale accounting requires management to make assumptions regarding
prepayment speeds and credit losses for the participated loans. The performances
of

49

these loans are extensively monitored, and adjustments to these assumptions
will be made if necessary.

The impact from the sale of loan participations can be seen in
several areas of the Company's balance sheet. The most significant has been
the removal of insurance agent loans that the Company continues to service.
On June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001, the balances of those off-balance sheet
managed assets totaled $44,547,040 and $29,653,127 respectively. During the
quarters ending June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001, the Company sold $16,069,194
and $4,801,451, respectively, of participations in insurance agent loans.
During the six month periods ending June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001, the
Company sold $27,564,256 and $9,055,783, respectively, of participations in
insurance agent loans.

In connection with the recognition of non-cash gains for the
servicing benefits of loan participation sales, the present value of future
cash flows were recorded as a servicing asset. Components of the servicing
asset as of June 30, 2002 were as follows:

Estimated cash flows from loan servicing fees $1,463,888
Less:
Servicing Expense (384,292)
Discount to Present Value (363,827)
-------------
Carrying Value of Retained Servicing Interest in Loan Participations $715,769

In connection with the recognition of non-cash losses for the
servicing liabilities of loan participation sales, the present value of
future cash flows were recorded as a servicing liabilities. Components of the
servicing liability as of June 30, 2002 were as follows:

Estimated cash flows from loan servicing fees $ -0-
Less:
Servicing expense 70,327
Discount to present value (23,928)
-------------
Carrying Value of Retained Servicing Liability in Loan Participations $46,399

In connection with the recognition of non-cash gains for the
interest benefits of loan participation sales, the present value of future
cash flows were recorded as an interest receivable asset and included in
investment securities. Components of the interest receivable asset as of June
30, 2002 were as follows:

Estimated cash flows from interest income $1,383,320
Less:
Estimated credit losses * (193,670)
Discount to present value (293,184)
-------------

50

Carrying Value of Retained Interest in Loan Participations $896,466

* Estimated credit losses from liability on sold recourse loans with balances
totaling $9,993,743 on June 30, 2002. Credit loss estimates are based upon
experience, delinquency rates, collateral adequacy, market conditions and
other pertinent factors.

The following table presents a summary of various indicators of the
credit quality of off-balance sheet recourse loans at June 30, 2002:

Net charge offs* $-0-
Recourse loans sold $9,993,743
Estimated credit losses provided for $193,670
Estimated credit losses to recourse loans sold at period end 1.94%
Estimated Credit Loss Rates:
Annual basis 5.00%
Percentage of original balance 1.69%
Delinquency rates:
30 to 89 days* 0%
90 days or more* 0%

*Although no amounts of recourse loans were charged off for the three month
and six month periods ending June 30, 2002 and no loans were delinquent 30
days or more as of June 30, 2002, it is likely that loan delinquencies and
loan charge offs will occur during the life of the sold recourse loans.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The balances of the Company's cash and cash equivalents were
$4,753,902 and $3,853,166 at June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001 respectively.
The Company's current ratios (current assets to current liabilities) were
1.90 and 1.32 at June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001 respectively. The Company
has improved its current ratio and increased its cash balances to take
advantage of business opportunities such as increasing agency inventory,
negotiating seller discounts and attracting suppliers. Correspondingly, the
Company's current ratio and cash balances will be adversely affected if
agency inventory increases or seller loan balances are prepaid.

For the six-month period ending June 30, 2002, net cash of
$2,608,361 was used in operating activities. Cash of $1,534,584 was used to
fund an increase in customer receivables and cash of $1,500,000 was used to
fund an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets for a deposit made
towards the purchase of CJD & Associates, L.L.C. Although the Company's
business includes the buying and selling of insurance agencies held in
inventory, a $128,103 gain on the sale of inventory was excluded as an
operating source of cash because changes in inventory have been classified as
an investing activity. For the six-month period ending June 30, 2002, net
cash of $4,169,526 was provided by investing activities. A large net cash
inflow of $4,412,377 resulted from insurance agency inventory transactions.
Cash proceeds of $7,508,820 from sales of agency inventory exceeded cash
payments of $3,096,443 for purchases of agency inventory primarily because
cash payments for part of the agency purchase prices were deferred. For the
six-month period ending June 30, 2002, net cash of $1,595,132 was used in

51

financing activities, with the most significant portion of the cash used for
payments on long-term seller debt. The Company's cash balances decreased by
$33,967 from December 31, 2001 to June 30, 2002.

For the six-month period ending June 30, 2001, net cash of $242,305
was provided by operating activities. The largest use of operating cash was
$1,766,506, which was used to fund an increase in accounts and notes
receivables. For the six-month period ending June 30, 2001, net cash of
$814,754 was provided by investing activities and net cash of $1,597,204 was
provided by financing activities primarily from the issuance of bonds by the
Company's finance company subsidiary. The Company's cash balances increased
by $2,169,653 from December 31, 2000 to June 30, 2001.

If necessary, the Company believes it can increase cash flow within
a relatively short period of time by liquidating its notes receivable
inventory or by liquidating its insurance agency inventory.

The Company's "Other Assets" account balance totaled $1,812,244 and
$1,416,492 on June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001 respectively. Included in Other
Assets are intangible accounts such as goodwill, excess of cost over fair
value of net asset, deferred tax assets and servicing assets. If the
Company's total assets are adjusted to exclude Other Assets, then the
Company's adjusted total assets exceeded its total liabilities by $1,779,415
on June 30, 2002, and the Company's total liabilities exceeded adjusted total
assets by $1,114,542 on June 30, 2001. Future Company acquisitions will
likely increase the Other Assets account balances and could result in total
liabilities exceeding adjusted total assets in future periods. The Company's
"Investment in Agencies" account balances of $594,446 and $-0- represent the
cost, or market value if lower, of insurance agencies held in inventory for
resale to franchise agents on June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001, respectively.
Although intangible, the Company believes that agency inventory assets differ
from other intangible assets, such as goodwill, because agency inventory is
held for a relatively short period of time and has a recently demonstrated
value.

The Company believes that its existing cash, cash equivalents and
funds generated from operating, investing and financing activities will be
sufficient to satisfy its normal financial needs. Additionally, the Company
believes that funds generated from future operating, investing and financing
activities will be sufficient to satisfy its future financing needs,
including the required annual principal payments of its long-term debt and
any potential future tax liabilities.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company established accounting policies are summarized in
footnote number 1 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements for the
fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2002. As part of its oversight
responsibilities, management continually evaluates the propriety of its
accounting methods as new events occur. Management believes that its policies
are applied in a manner which is intended to provide the user of the
company's financial statements a current, accurate and complete presentation
of information in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

When recognizing insurance commission revenues, management makes
assumptions regarding future policy cancellations which may result in
commission refunds and sets up a corresponding reserve. When recognizing
consulting and other revenues associated with the assistance provided to
agent buyers, management makes assumptions regarding when service is
performed and the amount of assistance provided. When recognizing the gain on
sale revenues associated with the sale of loan participations, management
makes key economic assumptions regarding loan prepayment speeds, credit
losses and discount rates as required by SFAS 140. "Accounting for Transfers
and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities."

Although the Company has not made any recent acquisitions, the
Company applies the purchase method of accounting to its acquisitions. Under
this method, the purchase price is allocated to the underlying tangible and
intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their
respective fair market values, with the excess recorded as goodwill. Such
fair market value assessments require judgments and estimates. Pursuant to
SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", amounts recorded as
goodwill will be subject to annual evaluation of impairment which can result
in declines in the carrying value of assets recorded as goodwill.

With respect to the previously described critical accounting
policies, management believes that the application of judgments and
assumptions is consistently applied and produces financial information which
fairly depicts the results of operations for all years presented.
