Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

In presenting the Company’s results, management has included certain schedules containing financial measures that are not calculated under standards or rules that comprise accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). Such measures, including segment underwriting income (or loss), related underwriting ratios and fully converted book value, are referred to as non-GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may be defined or calculated differently by other companies. Management believes these measures, which are used to monitor the results of operations, allow for a more complete understanding of the underlying business. These measures should not be viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of such measures to the most comparable GAAP figures such as income before income tax expense and total shareholders’ equity is presented in the attached financial information in accordance with Regulation G.

Safe Harbor Statement Regarding Forwarding-Looking Statements:

Management believes certain statements in this financial supplement may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements include all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts, and can be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “should,” “estimate,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” “predict,” “potential,” or words of similar import. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based on estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and risks, many of which are subject to change. These uncertainties and risks include, but are not limited to, conducting operations in a competitive environment; our ability to maintain our A.M. Best Company, Inc. rating; significant weather-related or other natural or man-made disasters over which the Company has no control; the effectiveness of our loss limitation methods and pricing models; the adequacy of the Company’s liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses; the availability of retrocessional reinsurance on acceptable terms; our ability to maintain our business relationships with reinsurance brokers; general political and economic conditions, including the effects of civil unrest, acts of terrorism, war or a prolonged U.S. or global economic downturn or recession; the cyclicality of the property and casualty reinsurance business; market volatility and interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuation; tax, regulatory or legal restrictions or limitations applicable to the Company or the property and casualty reinsurance business generally; and changes in the Company’s plans, strategies, objectives, expectations or intentions, which may happen at any time at the Company’s discretion. As a consequence, current plans, anticipated actions and future financial condition and results may differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. Additionally, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to release publicly the results of any future revisions or updates we may make to forward-looking statements to reflect new information or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of future events.

(a)		As of June 30, 2006 there were 59,546,050 common shares issued and outstanding. Included in this number were 97,252 of restricted common shares issued but unvested.

(b)		On February 15, 2009, the mandatory conversion date, each preferred share will automatically convert into a number of common shares based on the volume-weighted average price per common share for the 20 consecutive trading days ending on the third trading day prior to February 15, 2009. The fully converted book value above has been calculated on this basis assuming a conversion date of June 30, 2006. If any preferred shares are tendered for conversion prior to the mandatory conversion date, such shares will convert to common shares at a rate of 0.7874. If the mandatory conversion rate of 0.7874 had been used above, the number of common shares issued in conversion would be 4,528,000.

(c)		Weighted average strike price of options with a price below $27.98, the closing share price at June 30, 2006.

The Statutory underwriting ratios are based on statutory accounting principles and are calculated as follows:

(1) Losses & loss adjustment expenses are divided by net premiums earned;

(2) Acquisition expenses are divided by net premiums written and exclude changes in deferred acquisition costs; and

(3) Other underwriting expenses are divided by net premiums written.

The Company has developed the estimates of losses expected from certain catastrophes for its portfolio of property, marine, workers’ compensation, and personal accident contracts using commercially available catastrophe models, which are applied and adjusted by the Company. These estimates include assumptions regarding the location, size and magnitude of an event, the frequency of events, the construction type and damageability of property in a zone, and the cost of rebuilding property in a zone, among other assumptions. These estimates do not include any losses that may be expected to arise from the Company’s casualty portfolio as a result of such catastrophes. Return period refers to the frequency with which losses of a given amount or greater are expected to occur.

Gross loss estimates are before income tax and net of reinstatement premiums. Net loss estimates are before income tax, net of reinstatement premiums, and net of retrocessional recoveries. Ranges shown for indicative catastrophe scenarios are interquartile reflecting the middle 50% of indications. That is, 25% of indications fall below the low end of a given range and 25% of indications fall above the high end of that range. Thus, an actual event may produce losses that fall materially outside the indicated ranges.

The estimates set forth above are based on assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual losses and could cause actual losses to differ materially from those expressed above. In particular, modeled loss estimates do not necessarily accurately predict actual losses, and may significantly misestimate actual losses. Such estimates, therefore, should not be considered as a representation of actual losses. Investors should not rely on the foregoing information when considering investment in the Company. The Company undertakes no duty to update or revise such information to reflect the occurrence of future events.
