Eastern Insurance Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited, dollars in thousands except share and per share data)

1. Background and Nature of Operations

Eastern Insurance Holdings, Inc. (EIHI) is an insurance holding company offering workers compensation and group benefits insurance
products and reinsurance products through its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, Global Alliance Holdings, Ltd. (Global Alliance), Eastern Alliance Insurance Company (Eastern Alliance), Allied Eastern Indemnity
Company (Allied Eastern), Eastern Advantage Assurance Company (Eastern Advantage), Employers Security Insurance Company (Employers Security), Eastern Re Ltd., S.P.C. (Eastern Re), and Eastern Services
Corporation (Eastern Services), collectively referred to as the Company.

On June 21, 2010, EIHI announced the completion of its
previously announced agreement to sell Eastern Life and Health Insurance Company (Eastern Life) (Note 3). As a result of this agreement, Eastern Lifes operations have been reflected as discontinued operations in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements. Eastern Lifes net premiums earned and revenue totaled $9,086 and $10,691 and $18,262 and $20,563 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, and $8,927 and $10,303 and $17,818 and
$20,042 for the same periods in 2009, respectively.

The Company currently operates in four segments: workers compensation insurance,
segregated portfolio cell reinsurance, specialty reinsurance, and corporate/other. The specialty reinsurance segment was placed into run-off effective July 1, 2008. See Note 9 for a description of each segment.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying
unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments, being normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations of the Company for the periods presented have been included. The results of operations for an interim period are not
necessarily indicative of the results for an entire year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009 included in
the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 5, 2010.

All
inter-company transactions and related account balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain amounts in the prior year consolidated
financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amount of
reported assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The most
significant estimates in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses (LAE), earned but unbilled premium, deferred acquisition costs, return premiums under
reinsurance contracts, and current and deferred income taxes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Recent Accounting
Pronouncements

Fair Value Measurements

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new accounting guidance related to disclosures about fair value
measurements. The new guidance requires the following new or enhanced disclosures: 1) details of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 measurements and the reasons for the transfers, 2) a gross presentation of activity within the
Level 3 rollforward, presenting separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements, and 3) fair value disclosures must be presented by class of assets and liabilities rather than by major category. The new guidance was
effective for the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2009, except

for the gross presentation of the Level 3 rollforward information, which is required for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those
years. The Company adopted the new accounting guidance effective January 1, 2010. The adoption of the new guidance resulted in enhanced disclosures related to the Companys fair value measurements of its investments.

Variable Interest Entities

In
June 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to variable interest entities. The new guidance 1) replaces the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary in
a variable interest entity with an approach that is primarily qualitative, 2) requires ongoing assessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, and 3) requires additional disclosures about an
enterprises involvement in variable interest entities. The new guidance was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company adopted the new accounting guidance effective
January 1, 2010. The adoption of the new guidance had no impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

3. Sale of
Eastern Life

On June 21, 2010, EIHI announced the completion of its previously announced agreement to sell its wholly-owned group
benefits insurance subsidiary, Eastern Life, to Security Life Insurance Company of America (Security). The agreement effected a statutory merger of Eastern Life into Security, with Security continuing as the surviving corporation. Total
transaction consideration to EIHI was $34,102, which represented GAAP shareholders equity as of May 31, 2010 plus $250. The consideration consisted of cash and a $1,750 promissory note from Securitys parent. The note bears interest
at 4.0%, payable quarterly, and is due in full 36 months after the close of the transaction.

The issuance of the promissory note totaling
$1,750 is considered a non-cash investing activity and has been excluded from the consolidated cash flow statement for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

The Companys group benefits insurance segment, which consisted of the business of Eastern Life, has been recorded in the consolidated financial
statements as discontinued operations. The sale of Eastern Life resulted in the recognition of a gain totaling $645, which is included in discontinued operations. The Company also included transaction expenses of $745 and $864 ($484 and $562 net of
tax, respectively) in discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. Certain corporate expenses previously reported in the group benefits insurance segment were reclassified to continuing operations. The
reclassification of these corporate expenses totaled $125 and $250 for three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The group benefits insurance segments assets and liabilities as December 31, 2009 were as follows:

4. Goodwill

Management tests goodwill for impairment annually as of September 30 and more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more
likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Companys goodwill is allocated 100% to the workers compensation insurance segment. We did not evaluate goodwill for impairment as of June 30,
2010, as no events occurred or circumstances changed that would have more likely than not reduced the fair value of the workers compensation insurance segment below its carrying amount since September 30, 2009.

5. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings
per share are computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the respective period. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of shares
outstanding for the period, including dilutive potential common shares outstanding for the period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, there were 864,198 and 815,141 stock options and restricted stock awards, respectively, that
were not included in the Companys earnings per share calculation because to do so would have been anti-dilutive. Of the shares excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three months ended June 30, 2010, 57,347
shares were considered anti-dilutive as a result of the Companys net loss for the period. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, dilutive potential common shares outstanding included 49,057 restricted stock awards. For the three and six
months ended June 30, 2009, 864,198 stock options and restricted stock awards that were not included in the Companys earnings per share calculation because to do so would have been anti-dilutive. For the six months ended June 30,
2009, dilutive potential common shares outstanding included 115,637 stock warrants.

Consolidated net (loss) income, basic shares outstanding,
diluted shares outstanding, basic earnings per share, diluted earnings per share and cash dividends per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were as follows (unaudited, in thousands, except share and per share data):

6. Fair Value Measurements

The Companys assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis are segregated between those assets and liabilities that
are valued based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, which the reporting entity can access at the measurement date (Level 1), direct or indirect observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices
(Level 2), or unobservable inputs to the extent that observable inputs are not available (Level 3).

The following is a description of the
Companys categorization of the inputs used in the recurring fair value measurements of its financial assets included in its consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2010:

Level 1  Represents financial assets whose fair value is determined based upon observable unadjusted quoted market prices for
identical financial assets in active markets that the Company has the ability to access. An example of a Level 1 input utilized to measure fair value includes the closing price of one share of common stock on an active exchange market. The Company
considers U.S. Treasuries and equity securities as Level 1 assets.

Level 2  Represents financial assets whose fair
value is determined based upon: quoted market prices for similar assets in active markets; quoted market prices for identical assets in inactive markets; inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable for the asset such as interest rates
or yield curves; or other inputs derived principally from or corroborated from other observable market information. An example of a Level 2 input utilized to measure fair value, specifically for the Companys fixed income portfolio, is
matrix pricing. Matrix pricing relies on observable inputs from active markets other than quoted market prices including, but not limited to, benchmark securities and yields, latest reported trades, quotes from brokers or
dealers, issuer spreads, bids, offers, and other relevant reference data to determine fair value. Matrix pricing is used to measure the fair value of fixed income securities where obtaining individual quoted market prices is impractical.
The Company considers U.S. Government agencies, municipal bonds, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, asset-backed securities, corporate bonds, and convertible bonds as Level 2 assets.

Level 3  Represents financial assets whose fair value is determined based upon inputs that are unobservable, including the
Companys own determinations of the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing the asset. The Company considers its limited partnership investments as Level 3 assets.

The following table provides a summary of the fair value measurements of the Companys fixed income securities, convertible bonds,
and equity securities, as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, excluding the segregated portfolio cell reinsurance segment (unaudited, in thousands):

The estimated fair values of the Companys investments in fixed
income securities, convertible bonds, and equity securities are based on prices provided by an independent, nationally recognized pricing service. Approximately 99.0% of the Companys fixed income and equity security prices are obtained from
the independent pricing service. The prices provided by the independent pricing service are based on quoted market prices, when available, non-binding broker quotes, or matrix pricing. The independent pricing service provides a single price or quote
per security and the Company does not adjust security prices. The Company obtains an understanding of the methods, models and inputs, used by the independent pricing service, and has controls in place to validate that amounts provided represent
current exit values. The Companys controls include, but are not limited to, initial and ongoing evaluation of the methodologies used by the independent pricing service as well as comparing the fair value estimates to the Companys
knowledge of the current market. Fixed income securities include U.S. Treasuries, agencies backed by the U.S. Government, municipal bonds, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, asset-backed securities, and corporate bonds.

The Companys fixed income securities and convertible bonds consist primarily of publicly traded securities for which there are
observable inputs and/or broker quotes. Most fixed income security prices provided by the independent pricing service are based on observable inputs and, therefore, are classified as Level 2 securities. The Company does not hold any fixed income
securities, for which pricing was based on significant unobservable inputs; therefore, the Company has not classified any of its fixed income securities as Level 3 securities.

The Companys equity securities consist primarily of mutual fund instruments for which there is an active market and quoted market prices;
therefore, the Company has classified its equity securities as Level 1 securities.

Other long-term investments include the Companys
interest in various limited partnerships, including a low volatility multi-strategy fund of funds, two natural resource limited partnerships, a structured finance opportunity fund, an open-ended investment fund and a real estate limited partnership.
The Company records its investment in the limited partnerships using the equity method. The carrying value of the Companys limited partnership investments are based on the Companys allocable share of the limited partnerships net
asset value. Changes in the Companys investments are based on statements received directly from the limited partnership and/or the limited partnerships administrator. The estimated fair values of the underlying investments in the limited
partnerships may be based on Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 inputs, or a combination thereof.

As of June 30, 2010 (unaudited) and
December 31, 2009, the estimated fair values of the Companys limited partnership investments, by investment strategy, were as follows (in thousands):

Note: The Company has excluded the segregated portfolio cell reinsurance segments gross unrealized losses from the
above table because changes in the estimated fair value of the segregated portfolio cell reinsurance segments fixed income and equity securities inures to the segregated portfolio cell dividend participant and, accordingly, is included in the
segregated portfolio cell dividend payable and the related segregated portfolio dividend expense in the Companys consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of operations, respectively. Management believes the exclusion of the
segregated portfolio cell reinsurance segment from this disclosure provides a more transparent understanding of gross unrealized losses in the Companys fixed income and equity security portfolios that could impact its consolidated financial
position or results of operations.

As of June 30, 2010, the Company held 16 fixed income securities with gross unrealized losses totaling $167. Management
has evaluated the unrealized losses related to those fixed income securities and determined that they are primarily due to the current liquidity issues in the fixed income markets or to a fluctuation in interest rates and not to credit issues of the
issuer or the underlying assets in the case of asset-backed securities. The Company does not intend to sell the fixed income securities and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the fixed income securities before
recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity; therefore, management does not consider the fixed income securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2010.

As of June 30, 2010, the Company held 3 equity securities with gross unrealized losses totaling $237. The unrealized losses reflect the decline in
the equity markets during the second quarter of 2010. None of the equity securities have been in an unrealized loss position for more than six months and the unrealized losses are less than 20% of the securities book value.

The Company recognized other-than-temporary impairments of $0 and $6 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. The Company recognized
other-than-temporary impairments of $1,559 and $3,928 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009.

The following table provides a
rollforward of the Companys other-than-temporary impairments related to credit losses for which a portion of the other-than-temporary impairment was recognized in other comprehensive income for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

The Companys results of operations include unfavorable development of $3,014 and $2,281 for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2010, compared to favorable development of $1,323 and $2,078 for the same periods in 2009. The unfavorable development reported for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 reflects reserve strengthening in the run-off
specialty reinsurance segment and an increase in the severity and number of reported claims in the segregated portfolio cell reinsurance segment during the second quarter of 2010, primarily in economically sensitive segregated portfolio cell
programs. The unfavorable development in the segregated portfolio cell reinsurance segment resulted in an increase in the segments losses and LAE incurred and a corresponding decrease in the segregated portfolio dividend expense. The favorable
development reported for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 primarily reflects the impact of claim settlements at, or less then, previously established case and IBNR reserves in the workers compensation insurance and segregated
portfolio cell reinsurance segments.

9. Income Taxes

Management has estimated its provision for federal income taxes using the actual effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30,
2010. Management has used the actual, rather than annualized, effective tax rate due to uncertainties in the projections of the run-off specialty reinsurance segment. The effective tax rate related to continuing operations for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2010 was 6.8% and 774.5%, respectively, and reflects the loss incurred by the Companys run-off specialty reinsurance operations. Due to cumulative losses in the run-off specialty reinsurance segment, there was
no income tax benefit recorded related to the segments operating loss.

10. Segment Information

The Companys current operations are organized into the four following business segments.

Workers Compensation Insurance

The Company offers traditional workers compensation insurance coverage to employers, primarily in the Mid-Atlantic, Southeast and Midwest regions of
the continental United States. The Companys workers compensation products include guaranteed cost policies, policyholder dividend policies, retrospectively-rated policies and large deductible policies.

Segregated Portfolio Cell Reinsurance

The Company offers alternative market workers compensation solutions to individual companies, groups and associations (referred to as
segregated portfolio cell dividend participants) through the creation of segregated portfolio cells. The segregated portfolio cells are segregated pools of assets that function as insurance companies within an insurance company. The pool
of assets and associated liabilities of each segregated portfolio cell are solely for the benefit of the segregated portfolio cell dividend participants, and the pool of assets of one segregated portfolio cell are statutorily protected from the
creditors of the others. This permits the Company to provide customers with a turn-key alternative markets solution that includes program design, fronting, claims administration, risk management, segregated portfolio cell rental, investment and
segregated portfolio management services. The segregated portfolio cell structure provides dividend participants the opportunity to share in both underwriting profit and investment income derived from their respective segregated portfolio
cells financial results. The segregated portfolio cell reinsurance segment generated fee revenue to the Companys workers compensation, run-off specialty reinsurance, and corporate/other segments totaling $962 and $803 for the three
months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively and $2,373 and $2,324 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Run-Off Specialty Reinsurance

Prior to
July 1, 2008, the Company assumed business through its participation in reinsurance treaties with an unaffiliated insurance company related to an underground storage tank insurance program, referred to as EnviroGuard, and a

non-hazardous waste transportation product, referred to as EIA liability (EIA). The EnviroGuard program provided coverage to underground tank owners for third party
off-site bodily injury and property damage claims as well as clean-up coverage and first party on-site claims. The EIA program provided commercial automobile liability coverage for non-hazardous waste haulers. Net premiums earned, by program, for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were as follows (unaudited, in thousands):

Corporate/Other

The corporate/other segment includes the holding company and third party administration activities of the Company, as well as certain eliminations
necessary to reconcile the segment information to the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The corporate/other segment also includes the Companys 10.0% interest in a segregated portfolio cell with an
unaffiliated primary carrier that writes insurance coverage for sprinkler contractors.

The following table represents the segment results for
the three months ended June 30, 2010 (unaudited, in thousands):

Overview

The Company reported a net loss from continuing operations of $1.7 million and $344,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to
net income of $1.9 million and $1.1 million for the same periods in 2009. The 2010 net loss primarily reflects reserve strengthening in the run-off specialty reinsurance segment of $2.3 million during the second quarter of 2010. Management concluded
its review of the open claims inventory at the ceding company during the second quarter of 2010 and, as a result of that review, the reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses was increased by $2.3 million.

##### Table of Contents

The workers compensation insurance segment reported net income of $1.4 million and $3.1 million for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to net income of $2.1 million and $3.9 million for the same periods in 2009. The segment reported a combined ratio of 89.6% and 92.4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010,
compared to a combined ratio of 84.9% and 88.0% for the same periods in 2009. The increase in the combined ratio primarily reflects an increase in the loss ratio and return premiums to insureds as a result of premium audits, partially offset by a
decrease in the expense ratio. The increase in the loss ratio primarily reflects the impact of the current economic environment on the Companys loss and LAE reserve estimates. The Company did not record any favorable development during the
three and six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to favorable development of $750,000 and $1.3 million for same periods in 2009. Net premiums earned were reduced by $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, reflecting return
premiums to insureds and a decrease in the earned but unbilled premium estimate as a result of decreasing payrolls. Net premiums earned increased by $811,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 as a result of additional premium from
insureds. The decrease in the expense ratio primarily reflects the reversal of the 2009 Security Fund accrual as a result of receiving notice from the Security Fund that an assessment for 2009 would not be made.

The segregated portfolio cell reinsurance segment reported a combined ratio of 120.8% and 112.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010,
compared to a combined ratio of 96.7% and 98.2% for the same periods in 2009. The increase in the combined ratio primarily reflects unfavorable development related to prior accident year reserves during the second quarter of 2010, primarily in
economically sensitive segregated portfolio cell programs. The unfavorable development reflects an increase in the severity and number of reported claims.

Principal Revenue and Expense Items

The
Company derives its revenue primarily from net premiums earned, including assumed premiums earned, net investment income and net realized investment gains.

Direct and net premiums written. Direct premiums written is the sum of both direct premiums and assumed premiums before the effect of ceded
reinsurance. Direct premiums written include all premiums billed during a specific policy period. Net premiums written is the difference between direct premiums written and premiums ceded or paid to reinsurers (ceded premiums written). In the
segregated portfolio cell reinsurance segment, assumed premiums are derived from insurance contracts written by the Company and ceded to the segregated portfolio cells. In the run-off specialty reinsurance segment, assumed premiums are premiums that
are received from a third party under a reinsurance agreement, which are reported to the Company directly from the broker one quarter in arrears.

Net premiums earned.Net premiums earned are the earned portion of the Companys net premiums written. Premiums are earned over the term of
the related policies. At the end of each accounting period, the portion of the premiums that are not yet earned are included in unearned premiums and are realized as revenue in subsequent periods over the remaining term of the policy. The
Companys workers compensation policies typically have a term of twelve months. Thus, for example, for a policy that is written on July 1, 2009, one-half of the premiums would be earned in 2009 and the other half would be earned
in 2010. Workers compensation premiums are determined based upon the payroll of the insured, the applicable premium rates and, where applicable, an experience based modification factor. An audit of the policyholders records is conducted
after policy expiration, to make a final determination of applicable premiums. Included with net premiums earned is an estimate for earned but unbilled final audit premiums. The Company can estimate earned but unbilled premiums because it keeps
track, by policy, of how much additional premium is billed in final audit invoices as a percentage to estimate the probable additional amount that it has earned but not yet billed as of the balance sheet date.

Net investment income and realized gains and losses on investments. The Company invests its surplus and the funds supporting its insurance
liabilities (including unearned premiums and unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses) in cash, cash equivalents, fixed income securities, convertible bonds, equity securities, and other long-term investments. Investment income includes interest
earned on invested assets, including the impact of premium amortization and discount accretion. Realized gains and losses on invested assets are reported separately from net investment income. The Company recognizes realized gains when invested
assets are sold for an amount greater than their cost or amortized cost (in the case of fixed income securities) and recognizes realized losses when investment securities are written down as a result of an other than temporary impairment or sold for
an amount less than their cost or amortized cost. Realized gains and losses also include the change in fair value of convertible bonds.

Other revenue. Other revenue includes claim administration, risk management, and cell rental fees earned. There are other revenue items that the
Company recognizes on a segmental basis that are eliminated in consolidation. Such items consist



23

##### Table of Contents

primarily of fees paid by the segregated portfolio cells to other entities within the consolidated group. The segregated portfolio cells recognize an expense for such items (included as part of
its ceding commission) and a corresponding revenue item is recognized by the affiliate providing the service. For segment reporting purposes, such revenue items primarily include claims administration, risk management, and cell rental fees. Fronting
fees are included in acquisition and other underwriting expenses as an offset to the direct costs incurred. For segment reporting purposes, such fees are recognized ratably over the period in which the service is provided, which generally
corresponds to the earned portion of net premiums written for the underlying policies.

The Companys expenses consist primarily of
losses and LAE, acquisition and other underwriting expenses, policyholder dividends, other expenses, and income taxes:

Losses and LAE.Losses and LAE represent the largest expense item and include: (1) claim payments made, (2) estimates for future claim payments and changes in those estimates from prior periods, and (3) costs associated with investigating,
defending and adjusting claims.

Acquisition and other underwriting expenses.In the workers compensation and group benefits
insurance segments, expenses incurred to underwrite risks are referred to as acquisition and other underwriting expenses, which consist of commissions, premium taxes and fees and other underwriting expenses incurred in acquiring, writing and
administering the Companys business. In the segregated portfolio cell reinsurance and run-off specialty reinsurance segments, acquisition and other underwriting expenses consist of ceding commissions earned under the respective reinsurance
agreements. Ceding commissions received are netted against acquisition and other underwriting expenses.

Other expenses.Other expenses
consist of general administrative expenses such as salaries, rent, office supplies, depreciation and all other operating expenses not otherwise classified separately. Other expenses also include interest expense related primarily to the
Companys loan payable.

Policyholder dividend expense.Policyholder dividends represent the amount of dividends incurred during
the period that are expected to be returned to policyholders. The dividend expense is based on the loss experience of the underlying workers compensation insurance policy.

Income tax expense. EIHI and certain of its subsidiaries pay federal, state and local income taxes. Income tax expense includes an amount for both
current and deferred income taxes. Current income tax expense includes an amount for the Companys current year federal income tax liability and any adjustments related to differences between the prior year federal income tax estimate and the
actual income tax expense reported in the tax return. Deferred tax expense represents the change in the Companys net deferred tax asset, exclusive of the tax effect related to changes in unrealized gains and losses in the Companys
investment portfolio and changes in the unrecognized amounts related to the Companys benefit plan liabilities.

Key Financial
Measures

The Company evaluates its insurance operations by monitoring certain key measures of growth and profitability. The Company
measures growth by monitoring changes in direct premiums written and net premiums written. The Company measures underwriting profitability by examining loss, expense and combined ratios. On a segmental basis, the Company measures a segments
operating results by examining net income, diluted earnings per share, and return on average equity.

Loss ratio.The loss ratio is the
ratio (expressed as a percentage) of losses and LAE incurred to net premiums earned and measures the underwriting profitability of a companys insurance business. The Company measures the loss ratio on an accident year and calendar year loss
basis to measure underwriting profitability. An accident year loss ratio measures losses and LAE for insured events occurring in a particular year, regardless of when they are reported, as a percentage of net premiums earned during that year. A
calendar year loss ratio measures losses and LAE for insured events occurring during a particular year and the change in loss reserves from prior accident years as a percentage of net premiums earned during that year.

Expense ratio. The expense ratio is the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of the sum of the acquisition and other underwriting expenses and other
expenses to net premiums earned and measures the Companys operational efficiency in producing, underwriting and administering its insurance business.

Policyholder dividend expense ratio.The policyholder dividend expense ratio is the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of policyholder dividend
expense to net premiums earned and measures the impact of the Companys policyholder dividend policies on its workers compensation segment.

Combined ratio.The combined ratio is the sum of the loss ratio and the expense ratio and measures the Companys overall underwriting profit.
If the combined ratio is below 100%, the Company is making an underwriting profit. If the Companys combined ratio is at or above 100%, the Company is not profitable without investment income and may not be profitable if investment income is
insufficient.

##### Table of Contents

Net premiums written to statutory surplus ratio.The net premiums written to statutory surplus ratio
represents the ratio of net premiums written to statutory surplus. This ratio measures the Companys insurance subsidiaries exposure to pricing errors in its current book of business. The higher the ratio, the greater the impact on surplus
should pricing prove inadequate.

Net income, diluted earnings per share, and return on average equity.The Company uses net income and
diluted earnings per share to measure its profits and return on average equity to measure its effectiveness in utilizing shareholders equity to generate net income. In determining return on average equity for a given year, net income is
divided by the average of the beginning and ending shareholders equity for that year.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires both the use of estimates and judgment relative to the
application of appropriate accounting policies. The Company is required to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes. The Company evaluates
these estimates and assumptions on an on-going basis based on historical developments, market conditions, industry trends and other information that is believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. There can be no assurance that actual results
will conform to the estimates and assumptions and that reported results of operations will not be materially adversely affected by the need to make accounting adjustments to reflect changes in these estimates and assumptions from time to time. The
Company believes the following policies are the most sensitive to estimates and judgments.

Reserves for Unpaid Losses and LAE

The Company establishes reserves for unpaid losses and LAE for its workers compensation, segregated portfolio cell reinsurance and
run-off specialty reinsurance products, which are estimates of future payments of reported and unreported claims for losses and related expenses. The adequacy of the Companys reserves for unpaid losses and LAE are inherently uncertain because
the ultimate amount that the Company may pay under many of the claims incurred as of the balance sheet date will not be known for many years. Establishing reserves continues to be a complex and imprecise process, requiring the use of informed
estimates and judgments. The Companys estimates and judgments may be revised as additional experience and other data becomes available and are reviewed, as new or improved methodologies are developed, or as current laws change. Any such
revisions could result in future changes in estimates of losses or reinsurance recoverable and would be reflected in the Companys results of operations in the period in which the estimates are changed. Estimating the ultimate claims liability
is necessarily a complex and judgmental process inasmuch as the amounts are based on managements informed estimates and judgments using data currently available. If ultimate losses, net of reinsurance, prove to be substantially higher than the
amounts recorded as of June 30, 2010, the related adjustments could have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

The Company discounts its workers compensation reserves, using a discount rate of approximately 3.0%. As of June 30, 2010 and
December 31, 2009, the Companys reserves for unpaid losses and LAE were reduced by $4,230 and $4,256, respectively, related to the effects of discounting.

The reserves for unpaid losses and LAE in the run-off specialty reinsurance segment are based on claim information received from the ceding company on a
quarterly basis. Each quarter, the Company compares its actual reported losses for the quarter, and cumulative reported losses since the most recently completed reserve study, to expected reported losses for the respective period, which may result
in the Company increasing its losses and LAE, and its corresponding loss reserves it that quarter. During the second quarter of 2010, management concluded its review of the open claims inventory at the ceding company and, as a result of that review,
the reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses were increased by $2.3 million.

Other Than Temporary Investment Impairments

Unrealized investment gains or losses on investments carried at fair value, net of applicable income taxes, are reflected directly in shareholders
equity as a component of comprehensive income (loss) and, accordingly, have no effect on net income. When, in the opinion of management, a decline in the fair value of an investment below its cost or amortized cost is considered to be
other-than-temporary, such investment is written down to its fair value. The amount written down is recorded in earnings as a realized loss on investments. Generally, the determination of other-than-temporary impairment includes, in
addition to other relevant factors, a presumption that if the market value is below cost by a significant amount for a period of time, a write down is necessary. Notwithstanding this presumption, the determination of other-than-temporary impairment
requires judgment about future prospects for an investment and is therefore a matter of inherent uncertainty. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company recognized other-than-temporary impairments of $0 and $6,000,
respectively, compared to other-than-temporary impairments of $1.6 million and $3.9 million for the same periods in 2009, respectively. As of June 30, 2010, the Company held securities with gross unrealized losses of $404,000, excluding those
securities in the segregated portfolio cell reinsurance segment, of which $144,000 were in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months. Adverse investment market conditions, poor operating results of underlying investments, or the passage of
time with respect to equity securities in an unrealized loss position, could result in impairment charges in the future. The Company generally applies the following standards in determining whether the decline in fair value of an investment is
other-than-temporary:

Equity securities. An equity security is considered impaired when one of the following conditions exist: 1) an
equity securitys market value is less than 80.0% of its cost for a continuous period of six months, 2) an equitys securitys market value is less than 50.0% of its cost, regardless of the amount of time the securitys market
value has been below cost, and 3) an equity securitys market value has been less than cost for a continuous period of 12 months, regardless of the magnitude of the decline in market value. Equity securities that are in an unrealized loss
position, but do not meet the above quantitative thresholds, are evaluated to determine if the decline in market value is other than temporary.

The Company did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairments related to its equity securities for the three and six months ended June 30,
2010.

Fixed income securities. A fixed income security is considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired when the securitys
fair value is less than its amortized cost basis and 1) the Company intends to sell the security, 2) it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of the securitys amortized cost basis, or 3)
the Company

believes it will be unable to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security (i.e., a credit loss has occurred). When the Company determines a credit loss has been incurred, but the
Company does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of the securitys amortized cost basis, the portion of the other-than-temporary impairment
that is credit related is recorded as a realized loss in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), and the portion of the other-than-temporary impairment that is not credit related is included in other comprehensive
income (loss). A fixed income security is reviewed for potential credit loss if any of the following situations occur:



| |  |  | A review of the financial condition and prospects of the issuer indicates that the security should be evaluated;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Moodys or Standard & Poors rate the security below investment grade; or
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The security has a market value below 80% of amortized cost due to deterioration in credit quality.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company recognized other-than-temporary impairments of $0 and $6 related to its fixed income
security portfolio.

Limited partnerships.A limited partnership investment is generally written down if the Company is unable to hold
or otherwise intends to sell its interest in the limited partnership at a loss, or if management has received information that suggests the Company will be unable to recover its original investment in the limited partnership. The amount written down
is recorded in the change in equity interest in other long-term investments in the consolidated statement of operations. There were no other-than-temporary impairments related to the Companys limited partnership interests for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2010 or 2009.

Goodwill

In accordance with the requirements of ASC 350, Intangibles  Goodwill and Other, goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at the
reporting unit level, which is at the operating segment level or one level below an operating segment. Impairment is the condition that exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. Goodwill is required to be tested for
impairment annually and between annual tests if events or circumstances change, such as adverse changes in the business climate, that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying value.

Goodwill is assigned to one or more reporting units at the date of acquisition. The Company has allocated 100% of the goodwill recorded on its
consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2009 to its workers compensation insurance segment. The goodwill impairment test, performed as of September 30 of each year, is a two-step test. The first step identifies whether there
is potential impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to the carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the second step of the impairment test is required to measure
the amount of any impairment loss.

We did not evaluate goodwill for impairment as of June 30, 2010, as no events occurred or
circumstances changed that would have more likely than not reduced the fair value of the workers compensation insurance segment below its carrying amount since September 30, 2009.

In the event the operating results of the Companys workers compensation insurance segment were to be adversely impacted by a significant loss
of business or higher than expected losses and LAE, managements internal forecast may need to be re-evaluated, which could result in a fair value that is less than the carrying value of the workers compensation insurance segment and the
need to recognize a goodwill impairment.

Deferred Income Taxes

The temporary differences between the tax and book bases of assets and liabilities are recorded as deferred income taxes. Management evaluates the
recoverability of the net deferred tax asset based on historical trends of generating taxable income or losses, as well as expectations of future taxable income or loss. As of June 30, 2010, the Company recorded a net deferred tax asset of $1.5
million. Management expects that the net deferred tax asset is fully recoverable. If this assumption were to change, any amount of the net deferred tax asset that the Company could not expect to recover would be provided for as an allowance and
would be reflected as an increase in income tax expense in the period in which it was established.

Reinsurance Recoverables

Amounts recoverable from the Company reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with the claim liability associated with the reinsured
policy. Amounts paid for reinsurance contracts are expensed over the contract period during which insured events are covered by the reinsurance contracts. Reinsurance balances recoverable on paid and unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses are
reported separately as assets, instead of being netted with the appropriate liabilities, because reinsurance does not relieve the Company of its legal liability to its policyholders. Reinsurance balances recoverable are

subject to credit risk associated with the particular reinsurer. Additionally, the same uncertainties associated with estimating unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses affect the estimates
for the ceded portion of these liabilities. The Company continually monitors the financial condition of its reinsurers.

Recent Accounting
Pronouncements

Fair Value Measurements

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new accounting guidance related to disclosures about fair value
measurements. The new guidance requires the following new or enhanced disclosures: 1) details of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 measurements and the reasons for the transfers, 2) a gross presentation of activity within the
Level 3 rollforward, presenting separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements, and 3) fair value disclosures must be presented by class of assets and liabilities rather than by major category. The new guidance was
effective for the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the gross presentation of the Level 3 rollforward information, which is required for annual reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those years. The Company adopted the new accounting guidance effective January 1, 2010. The adoption of the new guidance resulted in enhanced disclosures related to the Companys fair
value measurements of its investments.

Variable Interest Entities

In June 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to variable interest entities. The new guidance 1) replaces the quantitative-based
risks and rewards calculation for determining whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary in a variable interest entity with an approach that is primarily qualitative, 2) requires ongoing assessments of whether an enterprise is the primary
beneficiary of a variable interest entity, and 3) requires additional disclosures about an enterprises involvement in variable interest entities. The new guidance was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2009. The Company adopted the new accounting guidance effective January 1, 2010. The adoption of the new guidance had no impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

The increase in consolidated revenue primarily reflects a reduction in other-than-temporary investment impairments and an
increase in net premiums earned, partially offset by a decline in net investment income. The Company recognized other-than-temporary investment impairments of $1.6 million and $3.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009,
respectively. There were no impairments for the three months ended June 30, 2010, and impairments of $6,000 were recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in net premiums earned primarily reflects new business sales
in the workers compensation insurance segment, partially offset by return premiums to insureds, a decrease in the earned but unbilled premium estimate, and a slight decrease in net premiums earned in the segregated portfolio cell reinsurance
segment and the run-off of the specialty reinsurance segments. The decrease in net investment income primarily reflects a decrease in fixed income securities and the recognition of an incentive fee related to the Companys convertible bond
portfolio.

The decrease in consolidated net income for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009,
primarily reflects reserve strengthening in the run-off specialty reinsurance segment, an increase in the workers compensation insurance segments loss ratio, the aforementioned reduction in net investment income, and a reduction in the
Companys interest in its segregated portfolio cell investment. The 2009 net income was also positively impacted by the reversal of a deferred tax valuation allowance totaling $438,000 in the corporate/other segment.

The decrease in consolidated net income for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009, primarily reflects the reserve
strengthening in the run-off specialty reinsurance segment and the aforementioned items that resulted in a decrease in net income in the workers compensation insurance and corporate/other segments, partially offset by the reduction in
other-than-temporary investment impairments in the run-off specialty reinsurance segment.

Premiums

The increase in direct premiums written primarily reflects new business sales of $17.1 million and an increase in the renewal retention rate, partially
offset by renewal rate decreases of 2.2% and return premiums to insureds as a result of payroll audits. The renewal retention rate increased from 85.6% in 2009 to 87.0% in 2010. Net premiums earned were reduced by $1.2 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2010, reflecting return premiums to insureds and a decrease in the earned but unbilled premium estimate as a result of decreasing payrolls. Net premiums earned increased by $811,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 as
a result of additional premium from insureds.

Net Investment Income

The decrease in net investment income primarily reflects the recognition of an incentive fee related to the performance of the convertible bond portfolio
and a decline in short-term interest rates. There was no incentive fee incurred for the same period in 2009. The average yield on the fixed income portfolio was 3.79% as of June 30, 2010, compared to 3.71% as of June 30, 2009.

Net Realized Investment Losses

Net
realized investment losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 primarily reflect the change in fair value of the Companys convertible bond portfolio. Net realized investment losses for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2009 primarily reflect other-than-temporary investment impairments.

Losses and LAE

The increase in the calendar period loss and LAE ratio primarily reflects a decrease in favorable loss reserve development and an increase in the accident
period loss ratio. There was no favorable development recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. Favorable loss reserve development totaled $750,000 and $1.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009. The
accident period loss ratio was 66.2% and 66.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to an accident period loss ratio of 64.5% and 65.2% for the same period in 2009.

Acquisition and Other Underwriting Expenses

The decrease in acquisition and other underwriting expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009, primarily
reflects the reversal of the 2009 Security Fund accrual. The Company received notice from the Security Fund in the second quarter of 2010 that a 2009 assessment would not be made. Acquisition and other underwriting expenses as a percent of net
premiums earned increased from 2009 to 2010 primarily as a result of the aforementioned return premium to insureds in 2010.

Other Expenses

Other expenses as a percent of net premiums earned increased from 2009 to 2010 primarily as a result of the aforementioned return premium
to insureds in 2010.

Policyholder Dividends

For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, 13.8% and 10.0%, respectively, of all policies were written on a dividend policy basis.

Tax Expense

The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was 28.3% and 28.9%, respectively, compared to an effective tax rate of 30.7%
and 30.5% for the same periods in 2009. The primary difference between the statutory rate of 35.0% and the effective tax rate primarily reflects tax-exempt income on municipal bond securities.

SEGREGATED PORTFOLIO CELL REINSURANCE

The following table represents the operations of the segregated portfolio cell reinsurance segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010
and 2009 (unaudited, in thousands):

|(1) | The workers compensation insurance, run-off specialty reinsurance and corporate/other segments provide services to the segregated portfolio cell reinsurance
segment. The fees paid by the segregated portfolio cell reinsurance segment for these services are included in the revenue of the segment providing the service. The segregated portfolio cell reinsurance segment records the fees associated with these
services as ceding expense, which is included in its underwriting expenses. The difference between total revenue for the segregated portfolio cell reinsurance segment for each period and the sum of losses and loss adjustment expenses, underwriting
expenses, policyholder dividend expenses and other expenses is accrued as a segregated portfolio dividend expense. As a result, the segregated portfolio cell reinsurance segment has no net income for the period presented in this table.

The segregated portfolio cell reinsurance ratios were as follows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and
2009:

Reinsurance Premiums Assumed

The decrease in reinsurance premiums assumed for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009, primarily reflects an
increase in return premium to insureds related to premium audits and renewal rate decreases of 1.0%, partially offset by new business sales of $2.2 million and an increase in the renewal retention rate. Premium audits resulted in return premium of
$865,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to return premium of $459,000 for the same period in 2009. The renewal retention rate increased from 89.8% in 2009 to 91.0% in 2010. The increase in reinsurance premiums assumed for the
three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009, primarily reflects premium from a new segregated portfolio cell that commenced business in the second quarter of 2010, partially offset by the aforementioned decreases.

##### Table of Contents

Net Investment Income

The decrease in net investment income primarily reflects a decrease in fixed income securities and the impact of the current interest rate environment.

Net Realized Investment Gains (Losses)

The improvement in net realized investment gains (losses) for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009, primarily
reflects a reduction in other-than-temporary investment impairments. The 2009 net realized investment losses also reflect the impact of reducing the segregated portfolio cells exposure to investments in financial institutions.
Other-than-temporary impairments totaled $66,000 and $75,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to impairments of $90,000 and $708,000 for the same period in 2009. The decline in net realized investment gains (losses)
for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009, primarily reflects a reduction in gains recognized from investment sales.

Losses and LAE

The increase in the
calendar period loss and LAE ratio primarily reflects unfavorable loss reserve development in the second quarter of 2010 and an increase in the accident period loss ratio. The Company recorded unfavorable loss reserve development of $714,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2010 and favorable loss reserve development of $19,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to favorable loss reserve development of $573,000 and $779,000 for the same periods in 2009. The
unfavorable development related to prior accident year reserves primarily reflects an increase in the severity and number of reported claim, primarily in economically sensitive segregated portfolio cell programs. The accident period loss ratio was
75.9% and 80.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to 74.8% and 74.1% for the same periods in 2009, respectively.

Acquisition and Other Underwriting Expenses

The expense ratios are consistent with the contractual ceding commissions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

Segregated Portfolio Dividend Expense

The segregated portfolio dividend expense represents the amount of net income or loss in a specific period that may be payable to the segregated portfolio
dividend participants.

Net Income (Loss)

The results of operations are reflective of the reserve strengthening of $2.3 million. During the second quarter of 2010, management concluded its review
of the open claims inventory at the ceding company and, as a result of that review, the reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses were increased by $2.3 million.

Reinsurance Premiums Assumed

Reinsurance premiums assumed, by line of business, were as follows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 (unaudited, in
thousands):



|                       |  |                             |    |   |                           |   |     |      |  |   |      |   |  |   |     |

Net Investment Income

The increase in net investment income primarily reflects the increase in fixed income securities. The average yield on the fixed income portfolio was
3.34% as of June 30, 2010, compared to 2.21% as of June 30, 2009.

Net Realized Investment (Losses) Gains

The improvement in net realized investment gains (losses) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to the same periods in 2009,
primarily reflects a reduction in other-than-temporary investment impairments. There were no other-than-temporary impairments in 2010. Other-than-temporary impairments totaled $235,000 and $1.8 million for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2009.

Losses and LAE Incurred

The increase in losses and LAE incurred reflects the aforementioned reserve strengthening of $2.3 million.

CORPORATE/OTHER

The corporate/other
segment reported a net loss of $1.1 million and $2.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to a net loss of $189,000 and $1.8 million for the same periods in 2009. The increase in the net loss for the primarily
reflects a decrease in the Companys interest in the segregated portfolio cells and the reversal of a deferred tax valuation allowance in 2009 totaling $438,000, which reduced the net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL POSITION

Consolidated assets totaled $358.6 million at June 30, 2010, compared to $391.5 million at December 31, 2009. The decrease in consolidated
assets primarily reflects the sale of Eastern Life. The decrease in federal income taxes recoverable primarily reflects the receipt of a refund related to the carryback of 2008 capital losses to prior tax periods. The increase in other assets
primarily reflects the promissory note from Security Life totaling $1.75 million.

Consolidated liabilities totaled $208.1 million at
June 30, 2010, compared to $237.7 million at December 31, 2009. The decrease in consolidated liabilities primarily reflects the sale of Eastern Life. Excluding the sale of Eastern Life, consolidated liabilities increased, which primarily
reflects an increase in unearned premiums, partially offset by a decrease in loss and LAE reserves and the segregated portfolio cell dividend payable. The decrease in loss and LAE reserves primarily reflects the run-off of the specialty reinsurance
segment. The decrease in the segregated portfolio cell dividend payable reflects a decrease in the segregated portfolio cells operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and dividends paid to preferred shareholders during the
first six months of 2010.

Consolidated equity totaled $150.5 million at June 30, 2010, compared to $153.8 million at December 31,
2009. The decrease in consolidated equity primarily reflects the repurchase of common stock under the Companys stock buyback program and the decrease in the fair value of the Companys investment portfolio, partially offset by net income
for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Companys principal sources of funds are premiums, investment income, and proceeds from sales and maturities of investments. The Companys
primary use of funds is to pay claims and operating expenses and to purchase investments.

The Companys investment portfolio is
structured so that investments mature periodically over time in reasonable relation to current expectations of future claim payments. Currently, claim payments are made from operating cash flows, with excess cash invested in investment securities.
As securities mature, management intends to invest excess cash with appropriate durations to fund anticipated future claim payments. Management does not anticipate having to sell securities in its investment portfolios to fund claims or operating
expenses. In the event the sale of securities becomes necessary, the Company may incur losses on those sales, which would adversely affect its results of operations and could reduce net investment income.

The Company has a $2.6 million line of credit available to provide additional liquidity if needed. In addition to the line of credit, the Company has
obtained letters of credit totaling $45.8 million for the purpose of securing obligations to reinsurers, if necessary. As of June 30, 2010, there was approximately $5.9 million still available under the Companys letter of credit
facilities.

Our domestic insurance subsidiaries ability to pay dividends to EIHI is limited by the insurance laws and regulations of
Pennsylvania and Indiana. The maximum annual dividends that the domestic insurance entities may pay without prior approval from the Pennsylvania Insurance Department and the Indiana Insurance Department is limited to the greater of 10.0% of
statutory surplus or 100% of statutory net income for the most recently filed annual statement. Eastern Re must receive approval from the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority before it can pay any dividend to the Company.

CASH FLOWS

Cash flows for the six
months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were as follows (unaudited, in thousands):



|                                                      |  |      |        |   |      |   |        |

|Net increase in cash and cash equivalents             |  | $    | 14,660 |   |      | $ | 15,664 |  
|                                                      |  |      |        |   |      |   |        |  

The decrease in cash flows from operating activities primarily reflects an increase in claim payments as a result of the
run-off of the specialty reinsurance segment.

The increase in cash flows from investing activities primarily reflects the sale of investments
related to Eastern Life. Eastern Lifes investment portfolio was liquidated prior to the completion of the sale.

The decrease in cash
flows from financing activities primarily reflects the repurchase of the Companys common stock. The Company reentered the market for repurchasing its common stock under its current stock buyback program in May 2010.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The
Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or, as of June 30, 2010, future effect on the Companys financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital
expenditures or capital resources.

PART II  OTHER INFORMATION

None



|Item 1A. | Risk Factors
|-------- | ------------

With the exception of the
risk factor noted below, there are no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, SEC File No. 001-32899.

A Divestiture of our Specialty Reinsurance Business Could Result in a Material Loss

We are exploring the sale of our run-off specialty reinsurance business, which principally reinsured a large primary carrier who insured first and
third party claims related to underground storage tanks. This line of business was placed in run-off effective July 1, 2008. The sale of the run-off specialty reinsurance business could be accomplished through the sale of
our shares of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Eastern Re, a loss portfolio transfer or a commutation with the primary insurer. Any sale or similar transaction could result in a material loss that would adversely affect our results of
operation in the period in which the transaction occurs.



|Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
|------- | -----------------------------------------------------------

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

On
February 15, 2007, the Companys Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 5.0% of the Companys issued and outstanding shares of common stock for the purpose of funding the issuance of stock under the Eastern Insurance
Holdings, Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan. On August 2, 2007, the Companys Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of additional shares of the Companys outstanding common stock up to an aggregate of 1,046,500 shares, which
represented the total number of shares of common stock for which awards may be granted under the Companys Stock Incentive Plan at that time. On September 27, 2007, the Companys Board of Directors increased the share repurchase
authorization to 2,046,500 shares. On March 24, 2008, the Company received approval from the Pennsylvania Insurance Department to repurchase up to $10.0 million of the Companys issued and outstanding common stock, which is in addition to
the 2,046,500 shares authorized in 2007. As of June 30, 2010, the Company has repurchased 2,477,802 shares, and has approximately $5.4 million authorized for future repurchases.
