Definitions and Presentation

• P&C Operations includes Standard Lines and Specialty Lines.

• Life & Group Non-Core segment primarily includes the results of the life and group lines of business that are in run-off.

• Corporate & Other Non-Core segment primarily includes certain corporate expenses including interest on corporate debt and the results of certain property and casualty business primarily in run-off, including CNA Re. This segment also includes the results related to the centralized adjusting and settlement of asbestos and environmental pollution claims.

• Property and Casualty Companies includes Standard Lines, Specialty Lines and P&C business written in the Life & Group Non-Core and Corporate & Other Non-Core segments.

• Management utilizes the net operating income financial measure to monitor the Company’s operations. Please refer to Note N of the Consolidated Financial Statements within the 2008 Form 10-K for further discussion of this measure.

• In evaluating the results of Standard Lines and Specialty Lines, management utilizes the combined ratio, the loss ratio, the expense ratio, and the dividend ratio. These ratios are calculated using financial results prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The loss ratio is the percentage of net incurred claim and claim adjustment expenses to net earned premiums. The expense ratio is the percentage of insurance underwriting and acquisition expenses, including the amortization of deferred acquisition costs, to net earned premiums. The dividend ratio is the ratio of policyholders’ dividends incurred to net earned premiums. The combined ratio is the sum of the loss, expense and dividend ratios.

• Limited partnerships (LPs) are a relatively small portion of CNA’s overall investment portfolio. The majority of our limited partnership investments employ strategies that generate returns through investing in securities that are marketable while engaging in various management techniques primarily in public fixed income and equity markets. The risks associated with limited partnership investments may include losses due to leveraging, short-selling, derivatives or other speculative investment practices. The use of leverage increases the level of returns and volatility generated by the underlying investment strategies.

• Certain immaterial differences are due to rounding.

• N/M = Not Meaningful

• FY = Full Year

(1)	The exposure to sub-prime residential mortgage (sub-prime) collateral and Alternative A residential mortgages that have lower than normal standards of loan documentation (Alt-A) collateral is measured by the original deal structure.
(2)	The ratings presented are based on a ratings methodology that takes into account ratings from the three major providers, Standard & Poors, Moody’s Investor Services, Inc. and Fitch Ratings in that order of preference. If a security is not rated by any of the three, an internal rating is formulated. For securities with credit support from third party guarantees, the rating reflects the greater of the underlying rating of the issuer or the insured rating.
RMBS — Residential mortgage-backed securities
CMBS — Commercial mortgage-backed securities

Other includes the impacts of interest accretion and change in allowance for uncollectible reinsurance and deductible amounts.

(2)

In 2008, the amount due from policyholders related to losses under deductible policies within Standard Lines was reduced by $90 million for insolvent insureds. The reduction of this amount, which is reflected as unfavorable net prior year reserve development, had no effect on 2008 results of operations as the Company had previously recognized provisions in prior years. These impacts were reported in Insurance claims and policyholders’ benefits in the 2008 Consolidated Statement of Operations.
