(1) General collections balances represent amounts in process of collection in the normal course of business, for which we have no indication of dispute or credit issues.
(2) Other includes amounts recoverable that are in dispute, or are from companies who are in supervision, rehabilitation or liquidation for Brandywine Group and active operations. Our estimation of the reserve for other, considers the merits of the underlying matter, the credit quality of the reinsurer, and whether we have received collateral or other credit protections such as parental guarantees.
(3) The current quarter allocation between general collections and other is estimated based on prior quarter balances. Balances are adjusted to actual in the next quarter.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Regulation G - Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

In presenting our results, we have included and discussed certain non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures, which may be defined differently by other companies, are important for an understanding of our overall results of operations; however, they should not be viewed as a substitute for measures determined in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of book value per share to diluted book value per ordinary share is provided on page 28.

 

In presenting our segment operating results we have shown our performance with reference to underwriting results. Underwriting results are calculated by subtracting losses and loss expenses, life and annuity benefits, policy acquisition costs and administrative expenses from net premiums earned. We use underwriting results and operating ratios to monitor the results of our operations without the impact of certain factors, including investment income, other income and expenses, interest and income tax expense and net realized gains (losses).

 

The following non-GAAP measure is a common performance measurement and is defined as income (loss) excluding net realized gains (losses) and the tax expense on net realized gains (losses). We believe this presentation enhances the understanding of our results of operations by highlighting the underlying profitability of our insurance business. We exclude net realized gains (losses) because the amount of these gains (losses) is heavily influenced by, and fluctuates in part, according to the availability of market opportunities. We believe these amounts are largely independent of our business and including them would distort the analysis of trends. Income excluding net realized gains (losses) should not be viewed as a substitute for net income determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
