                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



To The Board of Directors, Stockholders and Members of
Milne Scali & Company and Related Companies

We have  audited  the  accompanying  combined  balance  sheets of Milne  Scali &
Company and Related  Companies as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related
combined  statements of  operations,  changes in equity,  and cash flows for the
years then ended. These combined financial  statements are the responsibility of
the Companies' management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
combined financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the  United  States of  America.  Those  standards  require  that we plan and
perform the audits to obtain  reasonable  assurance  about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis,  evidence  supporting  the amounts and  disclosures  in the combined
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and  significant  estimates made by  management,  as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement  presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion,  the combined  financial  statements  referred to above  present
fairly,  in all  material  respects,  the  financial  position  of Milne Scali &
Company and Related  Companies as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results
of their  operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

                   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,
                   Nature of Operations and Use of Estimates
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Organization:
Milne & Company Insurance,  Inc., dba Milne Scali & Company ("the Company") is a
corporation  duly formed and  organized  under the laws of the State of Arizona.
The  Company is  licensed  by the State of Arizona  to own and  operate  general
property and casualty insurance agencies.  The Company operates primarily in the
southwest region of the United States.
Principles of Combination:
The  accompanying  combined  financial  statements  include the  accounts of the
following companies, all of which are under common control:
     Milne & Company  Insurance, Inc.,  dba Milne  Scali &  Company,  an Arizona
          corporation
     ASTR,Inc., an Arizona corporation  Harris Shcolnik & Associates,  Inc., an
          Arizona corporation
     Milne Scali & Company of Northern  AZ, LLC,  an Arizona  limited  liability
          company
     Milne Scali & Company - East Valley,  LLC,  an  Arizona  limited  liability
          company
Intercompany  balances have been  eliminated on  combination.  The  accompanying
combined financial statements include the consolidation of Milne Scali & Company
of Northern AZ, LLC and Milne Scali & Company - East Valley,  LLC. Milne Scali &
Company  owns  60.0% of Milne  Scali & Company - East  Valley,  LLC and 66.7% of
Milne Scali & Company of Northern AZ, LLC.
Milne Scali & Company of Northern  AZ, LLC  commenced  business on May 23, 2000.
Milne Scali & Company - East Valley, LLC commenced business on May 25, 2000.
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
effect  the  reported  amounts  of assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial  statements,  and
the  reported  amounts of revenues  and expenses  during the  reporting  period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Basis of Presentation of Interim Financial Information:
The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by
the Company,  without audit, in accordance with accounting  principles generally
accepted in the United States for interim financial  information and pursuant to
the rules and  regulations of the Securities  and Exchange  Commission.  Certain
information and footnote  disclosures  normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles have been
condensed  or omitted  pursuant  to such  rules and  regulations,  although  the
Company  believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2002 and for the
three month  periods  ended March 31, 2002 and 2001  include,  in the opinion of
management, all adjustments,  consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments,
necessary for a fair  presentation  of the financial  results for the respective
interim periods and are not  necessarily  indicative of results of operations to
be expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2002.
The accompanying  interim  consolidated  financial statements have been prepared
under  the  presumption  that  users  of  the  interim  consolidated   financial
information will read the audited consolidated financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2001 included herein. Accordingly, footnote disclosures which
would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the December 31, 2001
audited  consolidated  financial statements have been omitted from these interim
consolidated   financial   statements.   It  is  suggested  that  these  interim
consolidated  financial  statements  be read in  conjunction  with  the  audited
consolidated  financial  statements for the year ended December 31, 2001 and the
notes thereto included herein.

                                     Note 1
                   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,
                   Nature of Operations and Use of Estimates
                                   (Continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Income Recognition:
Commission income is recognized when the insured is invoiced, which approximates
the effective date of the policy.  Contingency  commissions  are recognized when
received,  which  approximates when the commissions are earned.  The majority of
contingency  commissions  are generally  received  within the first quarter each
year.  Commission  adjustments  relating to policy endorsements or cancellations
are recognized when they occur.
Cash Equivalents:
For financial  accounting  purposes,  cash  equivalents are considered to be all
highly liquid investments purchased with an initial maturity of three (3) months
or less.
Accounts Receivable:
At  December  31,  2001  and 2000  and  March  31,  2002  (unaudited),  accounts
receivable  represent  billed  insurance  premiums and commissions for insurance
coverage provided by various insurance carriers represented by the Company.
The Company  follows the direct  write-off  method of recognizing  uncollectible
accounts  receivable,  which  management  believes  approximates  the  allowance
method.  The direct  write-off  method  recognizes  bad debt expense only when a
specific  account  is  determined  to  be  uncollectible.   In  the  opinion  of
management,  no existing accounts receivable are deemed  uncollectible.  For the
year  ended  December  31,  2001 and the  three  months  ended  March  31,  2001
(unaudited), there was no bad debt expense. For the year ended December 31, 2000
and for the three  months ended March 31,  2002,  the Company  incurred bad debt
expense in the amounts of $3,652 and $1,826 (unaudited), respectively.
Property and Equipment:
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided for by use
of the  straight-line  method  over the  estimated  useful  lives of the assets.
Maintenance  and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.  Betterments and
renewals are capitalized as incurred.  For the years ended December 31, 2001 and
2000,  depreciation  expense was $121,750 and  $102,598,  respectively.  For the
three  months  ended March 31, 2002 and 2001,  depreciation  expense was $32,026
(unaudited) and $29,733 (unaudited), respectively.
The  useful  lives  of  property  and   equipment   for  purposes  of  computing
depreciation are:
          Furniture and fixtures                 5-7 years
          Automobile                               7 years
          Computer and office equipment          3-7 years
          Leasehold improvements                 3-7 years
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets:
The Company  evaluates the  continuing  value of the  intangible  assets at each
balance sheet date and records  write-downs if the  continuing  value has become
impaired.  An impairment is determined to exist if the  anticipated  future cash
flow  attributable  to the asset is less than its carrying  value.  The asset is
then  reduced  to fair  value  as  determined  by the net  present  value of the
anticipated future cash flow.
Income Taxes:
For federal and state income tax  purposes,  the combined  Companies  operate as
either  Subchapter S corporations or limited liability  companies.  As such, all
taxable  income and  available  tax credits are passed from the companies to the
individual  stockholders and members. It is the responsibility of the individual
stockholders  and members to report the taxable  income and tax credits,  and to
pay any resulting income taxes. Therefore, for the years ended December 31, 2001
and  2000 and the  three  months  ended  March  31,  2002  (unaudited)  and 2001
(unaudited), there were no provisions made for federal and state income taxes.

              Nature of Operations and Use of Estimates(Continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Advertising Costs:
Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. Advertising costs for
the years ended  December  31,  2001 and 2000 were  approximately  $104,000  and
$113,000,  respectively.  Advertising costs for the three months ended March 31,
2002 and 2001 were approximately  $13,000  (unaudited) and $29,000  (unaudited),
respectively.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:
During the three months  ended March 31, 2002 the Company  adopted SFAS No. 141,
Business  Combinations,  and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other  Intangibles.  The
pronouncements provide for the cessation of the pooling method of accounting for
business  combinations  as well as providing that goodwill and other  intangible
assets that have  indefinite  useful lives will not be amortized but rather will
be tested at least  annually for  impairment.  The Company has  determined  that
there was no material  effect on the financial  statements  from the adoption of
these financial standards.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The  Company   maintains  cash  and  cash   equivalents  at  various   financial
institutions.  Deposits not to exceed $100,000 at each financial institution are
insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance  Corporation.  At December 31, 2001 and
2000 and March 31, 2002, the Company has uninsured cash and cash  equivalents in
the approximate  amounts of $2,600,000,  $1,047,000 and $1,563,000  (unaudited),
respectively.

                                Intangible Assets
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intangible Assets:
At December  31, 2001 and 2000 and March 31,  2002,  intangible  assets  include
expiration  lists which represent the valuation of acquired  account records and
listings related to acquired insurance  accounts.  The cost basis is $3,378,981,
$3,468,442 and $3,377,480 (unaudited) as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 and March
31,  2002,  respectively.  The  expiration  lists  are  being  amortized  on the
straight-line  method over their  estimated  useful lives of seven (7) years. In
addition, intangible assets include covenants not-to-compete,  which consists of
amounts  due  to  individuals  as  compensation  for  covenants  against  future
competition.  The cost basis is $175,500  as of  December  31, 2001 and 2000 and
March 31, 2002 (unaudited).  The covenants not-to-compete are being amortized on
the straight-line method over their respective term of three (3) years.
Amortization  expense for the intangible assets for the years ended December 31,
2001 and 2000 was $553,993 and $463,053, respectively.  Amortization expense for
the three  months  ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 was  $135,303  (unaudited)  and
$138,497 (unaudited), respectively.

At  December  31,  2001  and  2000  and  March  31,  2002  (unaudited),  advance
commissions   receivable  consist  of  non-interest  bearing  advances  made  to
employees against future commissions to be earned.  The advance  commissions are
to be repaid by the future earned commissions of the employee. In the opinion of
management, the commission advances will be repaid within one (1) year.

(A)  Adjustments  reflect  interest expense on the $8.5 million of debt incurred
     in conjunction with the acquisition.
(B)  Adjustments reflect  amortization  expense that would have been incurred on
     all amortizable  intangible assets had the acquisition  occurred on January
     1, 2001 for the twelve month period ended  December 31, 2001 and on January
     1, 2002 for the three  month  period  ended March 31,  2002.  The pro forma
     adjustments  presume SFAS No. 142,  "Goodwill and Other Intangible  Assets"
     had been adopted at the beginning of the period.  Accordingly,  goodwill is
     not being amortized.
(C)  Adjustments  reflect  revisions to various other  noninterest  expense line
     items including  those related to revisions in  compensation  for executive
     officers of Milne Scali as well as certain other  employees of Milne Scali,
     revisions to the cost of life  insurance  policies  based on the agreements
     made related to those  policies,  an adjustment for rent expense due to the
     amendment of a rental agreement,  a depreciation  adjustment related to the
     cost assigned to data processing equipment acquired by BNCCORP and, for the
     three month period ended March 31, 2002,  an  adjustment  to accrue for the
     employer contribution to Milne Scali's 401(k) Plan.

     Scali.
(E)  Adjustments  reflect  the revised  income tax expense  that would have been
     incurred on the restated income for the combined companies. The acquisition
     of Milne Scali terminated its  S-corporation  election.  BNCCORP,  Inc. and
     Milne Scali may consider making an Internal Revenue Code Section 338(h)(10)
     election to step up the basis in the acquired assets.
(F)  Adjustments reflect the 297,759 shares of BNCCORP, Inc. common stock issued
     as part of the consideration in the acquisition.

(A)  On April 16, 2002, BNCCORP, Inc. acquired Milne Scali & Company and Related
     Companies  for 297,759  shares of newly issued common stock (valued at $2.5
     million) and $15.5 million in cash. To effect the transaction,  the Company
     incurred  $8.5  million  in long  term  debt.  Of the total  $18.0  million
     purchase price, $7.2 million was allocated to the net assets and the excess
     purchase  price of  approximately  $10.8 million over the fair value of net
     assets was  recorded as  goodwill.  The pro forma adjustments also included
     an  increase  to  deferred  tax  liabilities  of  $2.3  million, which also
     increased  goodwill  by  the  same  amount.  (Should  the  Company  elect a
     Section 338 (h)(10) step  up in basis of assets acquired, these adjustments
     to goodwill and deferred tax liabilities would be subject to modification).
     Additional  consideration  of  up  to $8.5 million is payable to the former
     shareholders  of  Milne  Scali  subject  to  Milne  Scali achieving certain
     financial  performance   targets.   In  accordance  with   purchase  method
     accounting  requirements,  such  payments  would  increase  the cost of the
     transaction  in  future  periods.   The  contingent  consideration  is  not
     reflected in the above pro forma balance sheet.
