(a)   The three and six months ended June 30, 2006 per share results available to common stockholders from net operating income are reduced by $19 million and $38 million, or $0.08 per share and $0.15 per share, of undeclared but accumulated preferred stock dividends. The undeclared but accumulated preferred stock dividends relate to the Company’s Series H Cumulative Preferred Stock which was repurchased from Loews Corporation on August 8, 2006.
Net operating income from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased $13 million as compared with the same period in 2006. The improvement in net operating income was primarily due to increased net investment income, partially offset by decreased net operating results in the non-core operations. The Property & Casualty Operations produced combined ratios of 94.7% and 95.2% in the second quarters of 2007 and 2006.
“We are pleased to report another very solid quarter,” said Stephen W. Lilienthal, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CNA Financial Corporation. “Net operating income of $318 million was the best we have reported in over a decade. The key drivers were disciplined underwriting across a well diversified portfolio and strong investment income. All in all, the second quarter results reflect our ongoing effort to continually improve the operating fundamentals and earnings power of CNA.”
Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 decreased $22 million as compared with the same period in 2006. This decrease was due to higher net realized investment losses, partially offset by increased net operating income from continuing operations.
Net realized investment losses increased $27 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared with the same period in 2006. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in interest rate related other-than-temporary impairment losses, which was partially offset by an increase in net realized results on derivative securities.
Net operating income from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased $86 million as compared with the same period in 2006. The improvement in net operating income was due to increased net investment income and favorable net prior year development in the current year as compared to unfavorable net prior year development for the same period in 2006 in the Standard Lines and Corporate and Other Non-Core segments. These increases in net operating income were partially offset by increased catastrophe losses and decreased net operating results in the Life and Group Non-Core segment. The Property & Casualty Operations produced combined ratios of 94.9% and 96.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased $45 million as compared with the same period in 2006. This increase was due to increased net operating income from continuing operations, partially offset by higher net realized investment losses.

Net realized investment losses increased $41 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared with the same period in 2006, primarily for the reasons discussed in the three month comparison above.

Business Operating Highlights
Standard Lines includes standard property and casualty coverages sold to small and middle market commercial businesses primarily through an independent agency distribution system. This business also includes excess and surplus lines, as well as insurance and risk management products sold to large corporations.
  Net written premiums decreased $29 million for the second quarter of 2007 as compared with the same period in 2006. Standard Lines retention remained flat at 82% as compared to the same period in 2006. Rates on average decreased 3% during the second quarter of 2007.
 
  Net operating income increased $20 million for the second quarter of 2007 as compared with the same period in 2006. This increase was primarily driven by increased net investment income, partially offset by increased catastrophe losses. Catastrophe losses were $8 million after-tax in the second quarter of 2007, as compared to $3 million after-tax in the same period of 2006.
 
  Net income for the second quarter of 2007 decreased $1 million as compared with the same period in 2006. This decrease was primarily attributable to higher net realized investment losses, substantially offset by improved net operating income.
Specialty Lines provides a broad array of professional, financial and specialty property and casualty products and services.
  Net written premiums increased $14 million for the second quarter of 2007 as compared with the same period in 2006. The increase was primarily driven by decreased ceded premiums due to the non-renewal of a quota share reinsurance program in May 2007. Specialty Lines retention decreased 5 points to 83% as compared to the same period in 2006. Rates on average decreased 5% during the second quarter of 2007.
 
  Net operating income increased $28 million for the second quarter of 2007 as compared with the same period in 2006. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in net investment income and favorable experience in the warranty line of business.
 
  Net income increased $17 million for the second quarter of 2007 as compared with the same period in 2006. This increase was attributable to increased net operating income, partially offset by higher net realized investment losses.
Life and Group Non-Core primarily includes the results of the life and group lines of business that are in run-off. Net earned premiums relate primarily to the group and individual long term care businesses.
  Net results for the second quarter of 2007 decreased $7 million as compared with the same period in 2006. The decrease in net results was primarily due to a decline in results for life settlement contracts and unfavorable prior year loss development in the group reinsurance business.
Corporate and Other Non-Core contains certain corporate expenses such as interest on corporate debt, and losses and expenses related to the centralized adjusting and settlement of asbestos, environmental pollution and mass tort claims. In addition, this segment includes the results of certain property and casualty insurance run-off operations, including CNA Re.

  Net results for the second quarter of 2007 decreased $23 million as compared with the same period in 2006. Net income for the second quarter of 2006 included a release of a restructuring accrual.
Net Investment Income
Pretax net investment income for the second quarter of 2007 increased $119 million over the same period of 2006. The improvement was primarily driven by an increase in the overall invested asset base and the elimination of interest expense on funds withheld and other deposits. Also impacting net investment income was an increase in income from the trading portfolio of approximately $49 million. The increase in income from the trading portfolio was more than offset by a corresponding increase in the policyholders’ funds reserves supported by the trading portfolio.

FINANCIAL MEASURES
In evaluating the results of the 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) financial results. 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.

Supplemental Financial Information
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 includes the results of certain property and casualty lines of business placed in run-off, including CNA Re. This segment also includes the results related to the centralized adjusting and settlement of asbestos, environmental pollution and mass tort (APMT) claims and interest expense on corporate debt.
 
  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 2006 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 the LPs invest in a substantial number of securities that are readily marketable. CNA is primarily a passive investor in such partnerships and does not have influence over the partnerships’ management, who are committed to operate them according to established guidelines and strategies. These strategies may include the use of leverage and hedging techniques that potentially introduce more volatility and risk to the partnerships.
 
  Certain immaterial differences are due to rounding.
