                       DONEGAL GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                                   (UNAUDITED)
               SUMMARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1 -  ORGANIZATION

     Donegal Group Inc. (the "Company") was organized as a regional insurance
holding company by Donegal Mutual Insurance Company (the "Mutual Company") on
August 26, 1986 and operates in the Mid-Atlantic and Southern states through its
wholly owned stock insurance companies, Atlantic States Insurance Company
("Atlantic States") and Southern Insurance Company of Virginia ("Southern")
(collectively, the "Insurance Subsidiaries"). The Company has three operating
segments: the investment function, the personal lines of insurance and the
commercial lines of insurance. Products offered in the personal lines of
insurance consist primarily of homeowners and private passenger automobile
policies. Products offered in the commercial lines of insurance consist
primarily of commercial automobile, commercial multiple peril and workers'
compensation policies. The Insurance Subsidiaries are subject to regulation by
Insurance Departments in those states in which they operate and undergo periodic
examinations by those departments. The Insurance Subsidiaries are also subject
to competition from other insurance companies in their operating areas. Atlantic
States participates in an inter-company pooling arrangement with the Mutual
Company and assumes 70% of the pooled business. Prior to 2002, Southern ceded
50% of its business to the Mutual Company. At June 30, 2002, the Mutual Company
held 63% of the outstanding Class A and Class B common stock of the Company.

     On January 1, 2002, the Mutual Company and Southern terminated their quota
share agreement, under which Southern ceded 50% of its direct business, less
reinsurance, to the Mutual Company. As a result of this termination, the
Company's prepaid reinsurance premiums decreased $7,310,471, unearned premiums
decreased $5,117,330, and deferred policy acquisition costs increased $714,853.
The Mutual Company transferred $1,478,288 in cash to the Company related to this
termination. The Company did not recognize a gain or loss on this transaction.

     During 2000, the Company acquired 45% of the outstanding stock of Donegal
Financial Services Corporation ("DFSC"), a bank holding company, for $3,042,000
in cash. The remaining 55% of the outstanding stock of DFSC is owned by the
Mutual Company.

     The Company has streamlined its corporate structure by merging a number of
its subsidiaries together. Delaware Atlantic Insurance Company ("Delaware"),
Pioneer Insurance Company, New York, (Pioneer-New York) and Pioneer Insurance
Company, Ohio (Pioneer-Ohio), previously wholly owned subsidiaries, were merged
into Atlantic States on August 1, 2001, September 30, 2001 and May 8, 2002,
respectively. Southern Heritage Insurance Company (Southern Heritage),
previously a wholly owned subsidiary, was merged into Southern on April 30,
2002. The mergers were accounted for as a reorganization of entities under
common control as they were all within the consolidated group. The mergers had
no financial impact on the consolidated entity.

     Southern (and Delaware, Pioneer-Ohio, Southern Heritage and Pioneer-New
York prior to their mergers) has an agreement with the Mutual Company under
which it cedes, and then reassumes back, 100% of its business net of
reinsurance. The primary purpose of these agreements is to provide the
Subsidiaries with the same A. M. Best rating (currently "A") as the Mutual
Company, which they could not achieve without these agreements in place. These
agreements do not transfer insurance risk. While the Subsidiaries ceded and
reassumed amounts received from policyholders of $25,183,072 and $21,863,707 and
claims of $15,270,392 and $11,863,674 under these agreements in the six months
ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, the amounts are not reflected in the
consolidated financial statements. The aggregate liabilities ceded and reassumed
under this agreement were $40,428,819 and $44,321,246 at June 30, 2002 and
December 31, 2001, respectively.

5 -  INVESTMENTS

     During the first quarter of 2002, the Company sold Halliburton Company
bonds that had been classified as held to maturity due to significant
deterioration in the issuer's credit worthiness. These bonds had an amortized
cost of $488,901, and the sale resulted in a realized loss of $73,901. There
were no other sales or transfers from the held to maturity portfolio.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 COMPARED TO
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001
- --------------------------------

     Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2002 were $50,736,803,
which were $4,239,834, or 9.1%, greater than the same period in 2001. Net
premiums earned increased to $46,110,512, an increase of $4,458,522, or 10.7%,
over the second quarter of 2001. Direct premiums written of the combined pool of
Atlantic States and Donegal Mutual increased $6,666,644, or 12.1%, with Southern
posting an increase of 0.9% in direct premiums written. The Company reported net
realized investment gains of $60,481 in the second quarter of 2002 compared to a
loss of $6,968 for the same period of 2001. The realized gain in 2002 was net of
realized losses of $92,440 which resulted from changes in the market value of
securities that were determined to be other than temporary. The realized gain in
2001 was net of realized losses of $463,735 which resulted from changes in the
market value of securities that were determined to be other than temporary.
Investment income was $3,710,282, a decrease of $526,427, or 12.4%, from the
second quarter of 2001. An increase in average invested assets from $281.9
million in the second quarter of 2001 to $306.3 million in the second quarter of
2002 was more than offset by a decrease in the annualized average return on
investments from 6.0% in the second quarter of 2001 to 4.8% in the second
quarter of 2002 accounting for the decrease in investment income.

     The GAAP combined ratio of insurance operations in the second quarter of
2002 was 99.3% compared to 99.9% for the same period in 2001. The GAAP combined
ratio is the sum of the ratios of incurred losses and loss adjusting expenses to
premiums earned (loss ratio), policyholders' dividends to premiums earned
(dividend ratio), and underwriting expenses to premiums earned (expense ratio).
The Company's loss ratio in the second quarter of 2002 was 69.7% compared to
67.1% in the second quarter of 2001. The increase in loss ratio was due to
losses related to storm activity that totaled $1.1 million in the quarter. The
Company's expense ratio for the second quarter of 2002 was 29.4% compared to
32.1% for the second quarter of 2001. The dividend ratio decreased to 0.2%
compared to 0.8% in the second quarter of 2001 because of more stringent
qualification standards.

     Federal income taxes for the second quarter of 2002 represented 28.6% of
income before income taxes compared to 25.6% for the same period of 2001. These
rates vary from the expected rate of 34% primarily due to the effect of
tax-exempt investment income.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 COMPARED TO
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001
- ------------------------------

     Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were $100,770,849,
which were $9,481,854, or 10.4%, greater than the same period in 2001. Net
premiums earned increased to $91,562,772, an increase of $9,869,880, or 12.1%,
over the first six months of 2001. Direct premiums written of the combined pool
of Atlantic States and Donegal Mutual increased $14,007,045, or 13.8%. This
increase was tempered somewhat by a 5.0% increase in the direct premiums written
of Southern. The Company reported net realized investment gains of $187,259 in
the first six months of 2002 compared to a gain of $113,839 for the same period
of 2001. The realized gain in 2002 was net of realized losses of $152,518 which
resulted from changes in the market value of securities that were determined to
be other than temporary. The realized gain in 2001 was net of realized losses of
$463,735 which resulted from changes in the market value of securities that were
determined to be other than temporary. Investment income was $7,440,586, a
decrease of $837,309, or 10.1%, from the first six months of 2001. An increase
in average invested assets from $282.9 million in the first six months of 2001
to $302.9 million in the first six months of 2002 was more than offset by a
decrease in the annualized average return on investments from 5.9% in the first
six months of 2001 to 4.9% in the first six months of 2002 accounting for the
decrease in investment income.

     The GAAP combined ratio of insurance operations in the first six months of
2002 was 100.5% compared to 99.4% for the same period in 2001. The GAAP combined
ratio is the sum of the ratios of incurred losses and loss adjusting expenses to
premiums earned (loss ratio), policyholders' dividends to premiums earned
(dividend ratio), and underwriting expenses to premiums earned (expense ratio).
The Company's loss ratio in the first half of 2002 was 69.3% compared to 66.2%
in the first half of 2001. The increase in loss ratio was due to higher losses
in personal lines during the first quarter and storm related losses of $1.1
million in the second quarter. The Company's expense ratio for the first six
months of 2002 was 30.6% compared to 32.3% for the first six months of 2001. The
dividend ratio decreased to 0.6% for the first half of 2002 from 0.9% in the
first half of 2001.

                                       9

     Federal income taxes for the first six months of 2002 represented 27.6% of
income before income taxes compared to 26.0% for the same period of 2001. These
rates vary from the expected rate of 34% primarily due to the effect of
tax-exempt investment income.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

     The Company generates sufficient funds from its operations and maintains a
high degree of liquidity in its investment portfolio. The primary source of
funds to meet the demands of claim settlements and operating expenses are
premium collections, investment income and maturing investments. The Company had
no significant commitments for capital expenditures as of June 30, 2002.

     In investing funds made available from operations, the Company maintains
securities maturities consistent with its projected cash needs for the payment
of claims and expenses. The Company maintains a portion of its investment
portfolio in relatively short-term and highly liquid assets to ensure the
availability of funds.

     As of June 30, 2002, under a credit agreement dated December 29, 1995, and
amended as of July 27, 1998, with Fleet National Bank of Connecticut ("the
Bank"), the Company had unsecured borrowings of $19.8 million. Per the terms of
the credit agreement, the Company may borrow up to $32 million at interest rates
equal to the Bank's then current prime rate or the then current London interbank
eurodollar bank rate plus 1.70%. At June 30, 2002, the interest rates on the
outstanding balances were 3.6625% on an outstanding eurodollar balance of $4.8
million and 3.6375% on an outstanding eurodollar rate balance of $15.0 million.
In addition, the Company pays a non-use fee at a rate of 3/10 of 1% per annum on
the average daily unused portion of the Bank's commitment. On each July 27,
commencing July 27, 2001, the credit line is reduced by $8 million and is
currently $24 million. Any outstanding loan in excess of the remaining credit
line, after such reduction, will then be payable.

     The Company's principal source of cash with which to pay stockholder
dividends is dividends from Atlantic States and Southern. Atlantic States and
Southern are required by law to maintain certain minimum surplus on a statutory
basis and are subject to regulations under which payment of dividends from
statutory surplus is restricted and may require prior approval of their
domiciliary insurance regulatory authorities. Atlantic States and Southern are
subject to Risk Based Capital (RBC) requirements. At December 31, 2001, each of
the Companies' capital was substantially above the RBC requirements. In 2002,
amounts available for distribution as dividends to the Company without prior
approval of the insurance regulatory authorities are $9,164,937 from Atlantic
States and $4,600,835 from Southern.

CREDIT RISK
- -----------

     The Company provides property and liability insurance coverages through its
subsidiaries' independent agency systems located throughout its operating area.
The majority of this business is billed directly to the insured although a
portion of the Company's commercial business is billed through its agents who
are extended credit in the normal course of business.

     The Company's subsidiaries have reinsurance agreements in place with the
Mutual Company and with a number of other major unaffiliated authorized
reinsurers.

IMPACT OF INFLATION
- -------------------

     Property and casualty insurance premium rates are established before the
amount of losses and loss settlement expenses, or the extent to which inflation
may impact such expenses, are known. Consequently, the Company attempts, in
establishing rates, to anticipate the potential impact of inflation.

                                       10

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

     The Company's market risk generally represents the risk of gain or loss
that may result from the potential change in the fair value of the Company's
investment portfolio as a result of fluctuations in prices and interest rates
and, to a lesser extent, its debt obligations. The Company attempts to manage
its interest rate risk by maintaining an appropriate relationship between the
average duration of the investment portfolio and the approximate duration of its
liabilities, i.e., policy claims and debt obligations.

     The Company has maintained approximately the same duration of its
investment portfolio to its liabilities from December 31, 2001 to June 30, 2002.
In addition, the Company has maintained approximately the same investment mix
during this period.

     There have been no material changes to the Company's quantitative or
qualitative market risk exposure from December 31, 2001 through June 30, 2002.
