    "Net operating earnings available to ordinary shareholders" is a
non-GAAP measurement. We determine net operating earnings available to
ordinary shareholders by adjusting net income available to ordinary
shareholders by net realized capital gains and losses and the change
in value of embedded derivatives as adjusted for the related effects
upon the amortization of deferred acquisition costs and taxes. While
these items may be significant components in understanding and
assessing the Company's consolidated financial performance, the
Company believes that the presentation of net operating earnings
available to ordinary shareholders enhances the understanding of its
results of operations by highlighting earnings attributable to the
normal, recurring operation of its reinsurance business. However, net
operating earnings available to ordinary shareholders are not a
substitute for net income determined in accordance with GAAP.

     Supplemental Information - Book Value Per Ordinary Share and
              Fully Diluted Book Value Per Ordinary Share
      (Stated in Thousands of United States Dollars, Except Share
                               Amounts)

    Fully diluted book value per ordinary share is a non-GAAP measure,
based on total shareholders' equity plus the assumed proceeds from the
exercise of outstanding options, warrants, and other convertible
securities, divided by the sum of shares, options and warrants
outstanding, and the number of shares required upon the conversion of
convertible securities. The Company believes that fully diluted book
value per ordinary share more accurately reflects the book value that
is attributable to an ordinary share.
