Company as net income excluding realized investment gains and losses,
foreign exchange and other gains and losses, amortization of intangible
assets, non-recurring general and administrative expenses relating to

alternative to net income. The Company's management believes that net
operating earnings is a useful indicator of trends in the Company's
underlying operations. The Company's measure of net operating earnings may
not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other
companies.

Income from Operations is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by the
Company as net income excluding foreign exchange and other gains and
losses, amortization of intangible assets, subordinated debt interest
expense and income tax expense and should not be considered as an
alternative to net income. The Company’s management believes that
income from operations is a useful measure of the Company’s underlying
earnings fundamentals based on its underwriting and investment income
before financing costs. This income from operations enables readers of
this information to more clearly understand the essential operating
results of the Company. The Company’s measure of income from operations
may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other
companies.
