                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

NOTE A - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements of Delphi Financial Group, Inc. (the "Company," which
term includes the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries unless the context
indicates otherwise) included herein were prepared in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The information
furnished includes all adjustments and accruals of a normal recurring nature,
which are in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of
results for the interim periods. Certain reclassifications have been made in the
June 30, 2005 consolidated financial statements to conform to the June 30, 2006
presentation. On May 4, 2006, the Company's Board of Directors declared a
3-for-2 common stock split effected in the form of a 50% stock dividend, which
was distributed on June 1, 2006 to stockholders of record on May 18, 2006.
Results per share and applicable share amounts for prior periods have been
restated to reflect the stock split. Operating results for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2006. For further information
refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005
(the "2005 Form 10-K"). Capitalized terms used herein without definition have
the meanings ascribed to them in the 2005 Form 10-K.

Accounting Changes

Stock Options. As of January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123 (Revised) ("123R"), "Share-Based Payment,"
a revision of SFAS No. 123, which requires all share-based payments to
employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized as
expense in the income statement based on their fair values and prohibits pro
forma disclosure as an alternative. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R using the
modified prospective transition method, under which compensation cost is
recognized for all new awards granted after the date of adoption and for any
unvested awards previously granted for which expenses were not being recognized
under SFAS No. 123. Accordingly, since the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 in 2003
using the prospective transition method, compensation cost for unvested awards
granted prior to 2003 is required to be recognized under SFAS No. 123R.
Compensation cost recognized for such awards was not material to the results of
operations of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.

SFAS No. 123R also requires the Company to estimate forfeitures in calculating
the expense relating to stock-based compensation as opposed to recognizing these
forfeitures and the corresponding reduction in expense only as they occur. In
the first half of 2006, the Company recorded an adjustment for expected
forfeitures as a reduction in stock-based compensation expense, which is
included within other operating expenses on the Company's consolidated income
statement. The adjustment attributable to compensation expense recognized prior
to 2006 for unvested awards as of January 1, 2006 was not recorded as a
cumulative effect adjustment, net of tax, because the amount was not material to
the results of operations of the Company. In addition, SFAS No. 123R requires
the Company to reflect the tax savings resulting from tax deductions in excess
of expense as a financing cash flow in its statement of cash flows rather than
as an operating cash flow as in prior periods. These cash flows were not
material to the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2006.

The Company recognized stock compensation expenses of $3.7 million and $1.8
million in the first half of 2006 and 2005, respectively, of which $1.9 million
and $0.9 million was recognized in the second quarter of 2006 and 2005,
respectively. The remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to
unvested awards at June 30, 2006 was $18.6 million and the weighted-average
period of time over which this expense will be recognized is 3.1 years.

The fair values of options were estimated at the grant date using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average
assumptions for the first half of 2006: expected volatility - 24.4%, expected
dividends - 0.9%, expected lives of the options - 6.5 years, and the risk free
rate - 4.8. The following weighted average assumptions were used for the first
half of 2005: expected volatility - 23.4%, expected dividends - 0.8%, expected
lives of the options - 5.0 years, and the risk free rate - 3.7%.

The expected volatility reflects the Company's past monthly stock price
volatility. The expected life of options granted in the first half of 2006 was
calculated using the "simplified method" in accordance with Staff Accounting
Bulletin 107. For options granted in the first half of 2005, the Company used a
projected expected life based on employees' historical exercise behavior. The
dividend yield is based on the Company's historical dividend payments. The
risk-free rate is derived from public data sources at the time of the grant.
Compensation cost is recognized over the expected life of the option using the
straight-line method.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTION

The Company, through its subsidiaries, underwrites a diverse portfolio of group
employee benefit products, primarily group life, disability, and excess workers'
compensation insurance. Revenues from this group of products are primarily
comprised of earned premiums and investment income. The profitability of group
employee benefit products is affected by, among other things, differences
between actual and projected claims experience, the retention of existing
customers, product mix and the Company's ability to attract new customers,
change premium rates and contract terms and control administrative expenses. The
Company transfers its exposure to some group employee benefit risks through
reinsurance ceded arrangements with other insurance and reinsurance companies.
Accordingly, the profitability of the Company's group employee benefit products
is affected by the amount, cost and terms of reinsurance it obtains. The
profitability of certain group employee benefit products is also affected by the
difference between the yield achieved on invested assets and the discount rate
used to calculate the related reserves. The Company is continuing to experience
favorable market conditions for its excess workers' compensation products due to
high primary workers' compensation rates. For its other group employee benefit
products, the Company is continuing to increase the size of its sales force in
order to enhance its focus on the small case niche (insured groups of 10 to 500
individuals), including employers who are first-time providers of these employee
benefits, which the Company believes to offer opportunities for superior
profitability. In the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company decided to exit its
non-core property catastrophe reinsurance business, due to the volatility
associated with such business and other strategic considerations, and has not
thereafter renewed or written any new reinsurance contracts in this business.
Accordingly, the Company reclassified the operating results of this business as
discontinued operations. Prior period information has been reclassified to
conform to the current period presentation.

The Company also operates an asset accumulation business that focuses primarily
on offering fixed annuities to individuals. In addition, during the first
quarter of 2006, the Company issued $100 million of fixed and floating rate
funding agreements with maturities of three to five years in connection with the
issuance of funding agreement-backed notes in a corresponding principal amount.
The Company believes that the funding agreement program enhances the Company's
asset accumulation business by providing an alternative source of distribution
for this business. The Company's liability for the funding agreements is
recorded in policyholder account balances. Deposits from the Company's asset
accumulation business are recorded as liabilities rather than as premiums.
Revenues from the Company's asset accumulation business are primarily comprised
of investment income earned on the funds under management. The profitability of
asset accumulation products is primarily dependent on the spread achieved
between the return on investments and the interest credited to holders of these
products. The Company is setting the crediting rates offered on its asset
accumulation products in an effort to achieve its targeted interest rate spreads
on these products, and is willing to accept lower levels of sales on these
products when market conditions make these targeted spreads more difficult to
achieve.

The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial
condition of the Company should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements and related notes included in this document, as well as the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 (the
"2005 Form 10-K"). Capitalized terms used herein without definition have the
meanings ascribed to them in the 2005 Form 10-K. The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with GAAP requires management, in some instances, to
make judgments about the application of these principles. The amounts of assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period could differ materially
from the amounts reported if different conditions existed or different judgments
were utilized. A discussion of how management applies certain critical
accounting policies and makes certain estimates is contained in the 2005 Form
10-K in the section entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and
Estimates" and should be read in conjunction with the following discussion and
analysis of results of operations and financial condition of the Company. In
addition, a discussion of uncertainties and contingencies which can affect
actual results and could cause future results to differ materially from those
expressed in certain forward-looking statements contained in this Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations can be
found below under the caption "Forward-Looking Statements And Cautionary
Statements Regarding Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results" and in Part
II Item 1A, "Risk Factors."

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to
Six Months Ended June 30, 2005

Summary of Results. Net income was $65.7 million, or $1.29 per diluted share, in
the first half of 2006 as compared to $62.1 million, or $1.24 per diluted share,
in the first half of 2005. Net income in the first half of 2006 and 2005
included realized investment (losses) gains (net of the related income tax
(benefit) expense) of $(1.0) million, or $(0.02) per diluted share, and $3.3
million, or $0.07 per diluted share, respectively. Net income in the first half
of 2006 benefited from growth in income from the Company's core group employee
benefit products, increased investment spreads on the Company's asset
accumulation products and an increase in net investment income, and was
adversely impacted by an increase in interest expense and losses from
discontinued operations. Core group employee benefit products include group
life, disability, excess workers' compensation, travel accident and dental
insurance. Premiums from these core group employee benefit products increased
14% in the first half of 2006 and the combined ratio (loss ratio plus expense
ratio) for these products decreased to 93.0% in the first half of 2006 from
94.8% in the first half of 2005. Net investment income in the first half of
2006, which increased 10% from the first half of 2005, reflects a 10% increase
in average invested assets. The increase in interest expense was primarily due
to the increases in the Company's weighted average borrowings and the weighted
average borrowing rate due to increases in the levels of the short-term interest
indices referenced under the Company's revolving credit facility during the
first half of 2006 as compared to the first half of 2005. During the first half
of 2006 and 2005, the Company had (losses) income from discontinued operations
(net of the related income tax (benefit) expense) of $(2.9) million, or $(0.06)
per diluted share, and $1.8 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, respectively,
attributable to its non-core property catastrophe reinsurance business which it
decided to exit during the fourth quarter of 2005.

Premium and Fee Income. Premium and fee income in the first half of
2006 was $543.2 million as compared to $482.0 million in the first half of
2005, an increase of 13%. Premiums from core group employee benefit products
increased 14% to $518.4 million in the first half of 2006 from $455.7 million
in the first half of 2005. This increase reflects normal growth in employment
and salary levels for the Company's existing customer base, price increases,
new business production and improved persistency. Premiums from excess workers'
compensation insurance for self-insured employers increased 18% to $123.6
million in the first half of 2006 from $104.5 million in the first half of
2005. This increase was primarily due to the demand for this product as a
result of high primary workers' compensation rates. In its renewals of
insurance coverages during the first half of 2006, SNCC continued to obtain
higher SIR levels, which are up 9%, while maintaining its pricing. Excess
workers' compensation new business production, which represents the amount of
new annualized premium sold, increased 103% to $33.7 million in the first half
of 2006 from $16.6 million in the first half of 2005 and the retention of
existing customers in the first half of 2006 remained strong. Excess workers'
compensation new business production for the important July renewal season
increased 68% to $15.0 million in 2006 from $8.9 million in 2005. New business
production for 2006 benefited from a renewal rights agreement into which SNCC
entered in July 2005. Under the agreement, SNCC acquired, among other things,
the right to offer renewal quotes to expiring excess workers' compensation
policies of a former competitor. Premiums from the Company's other core group
employee benefit products increased 12% to $394.8 million in the first half of
2006 from $351.1 million in the first half of 2005, primarily reflecting new
business production, improved retention of existing customers and growth in the
Company's turnkey disability business. New business production for the
Company's other core group employee benefit products was $88.6 million in the
first half of 2006 and $92.2 million in the first half of 2005. New business
production does not include premiums from the Company's turnkey disability
business. The level of production achieved from these products reflects the
Company's focus on the small case niche (insured groups of 10 to 500
individuals) which resulted in a 16% increase in production based on the number
of cases sold as compared to 2005. The Company continued to implement price
increases for certain existing disability and group life customers.

Deposits from the Company's asset accumulation products, consisting of new
annuity sales and funding agreements, were $144.7 million in the first half of
2006 as compared to $48.9 million in the first half of 2005. The increase in
deposits reflects the issuance of $100.0 million of fixed and floating rate
funding agreements during the first quarter of 2006 under the Company's new
program under which funding agreement-backed notes are issued to institutional
investors by an unconsolidated special purpose vehicle which uses the proceeds
to purchase from the Company funding agreements having terms substantially
similar to those of the notes. Deposits from the Company's asset accumulation
products are recorded as liabilities rather than as premiums.

Net Investment Income. Net investment income in the first half of 2006 was
$119.8 million as compared to $108.5 million in the first half of 2005, an
increase of 10%. The level of net investment income in the 2006 period reflects
a 10% increase in average invested assets in the first half of 2006 from the
first half of 2005 and an increase in the tax equivalent weighted average
annualized yield. The tax equivalent weighted average annualized yield on
invested assets was 6.3% for the first half of 2006 and 6.2% for the first half
of 2005.

Net Realized Investment (Losses) Gains. Net realized investment (losses) gains
were $(1.5) million in the first half of 2006 as compared to $5.1 million in the
first half of 2005. The Company's investment strategy results in periodic sales
of securities and, therefore, the recognition of realized investment gains and
losses. During the first half of 2006 and 2005, the Company recognized $0.7
million and $6.3 million, respectively, of net gains on the sales of securities.
The Company monitors its investments on an ongoing basis. When the market value
of a security declines below its cost, and management judges the decline to be
other than temporary, the security is written down to fair value, and the
decline is reported as a realized investment loss. In the first half of 2006 and
2005, the Company recognized $2.2 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of
losses due to the other than temporary declines in the market values of certain
fixed maturity securities.

The Company may recognize additional losses of this type in the future. The
Company anticipates that if certain other existing declines in security values
are determined to be other than temporary, it may recognize additional
investment losses in the range of $5 million to $10 million, on an after-tax
basis, with respect to the relevant securities. However, the extent of any such
losses will depend on future market developments and changes in security values,
and such losses may be outside this range. The Company continuously monitors the
affected securities pursuant to its procedures for evaluation for other than
temporary impairment in valuation, which are described in the section entitled
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates - Investments" in the
2005 Form 10-K. It is not possible to predict the extent of any future changes
in value, positive or negative, or the results of the future application of
these procedures, with respect to these securities. There can be no assurance
that the Company will realize investment gains in the future in an amount
sufficient to offset any such losses.

Benefits and Expenses. Policyholder benefits and expenses were $550.3 million as
compared to $497.8 million in the first half 2005, an increase of 11%. This
increase primarily reflects the increase in premiums from the Company's group
employee benefit products discussed above, and also reflects additions to
reserves for prior years' claims and claim expenses in the amount of $10.2
million due to adverse loss experience, primarily arising from the Company's
excess workers' compensation line and due principally to moderately
increased claim frequency, relative to prior periods, relating to policies
written during the competitive market cycle years of 1997 to 2001. If this
experience trend were to continue in the future, absent favorable loss
experience in other policy years, the Company's results of operations could be
materially adversely affected. The combined ratio (loss ratio plus expense
ratio) for the Company's group employee benefits products decreased to 93.0% in
the first half of 2006 from 94.8% in the first half of 2005. The weighted
average annualized crediting rate on the Company's asset accumulation products,
which reflects the effects of the first year bonus crediting rate on certain
newly issued products, was 4.6% in the first half of 2006 and 2005.

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $12.3 million in the first half of 2006
as compared to $10.3 million in the first half of 2005, an increase of $2.0
million. This increase primarily resulted from the increases in the weighted
average borrowings and the weighted average borrowing rate due to increases in
the levels of short-term interest indices referenced under the Company's
revolving credit facility during the first half of 2006 as compared to the first
half of 2005.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense was $30.2 million in the first half of
2006 as compared to $27.2 million in the first half of 2005. The Company's
effective tax rate was 30.6% in the first half of 2006 and 31.1% in the first
half of 2005.

(Loss) Income from Discontinued Operations. During the fourth quarter of 2005,
the Company decided to exit its non-core property catastrophe reinsurance
business, due to the volatility associated with such business and other
strategic considerations, and did not enter into or renew any assumed property
reinsurance contracts. In the first half of 2006, the Company recognized an
after-tax operating loss of $(2.9) million, or $(0.06) per diluted share, net of
an income tax benefit of $1.6 million, substantially all of which was
attributable to additional losses relating to the Katrina and Wilma hurricanes
which occurred in 2005. In the first half of 2005, the Company recognized
after-tax operating income of $1.8 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, net of
income tax expense of $1.0 million from this business.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to
Three Months Ended June 30, 2005

Summary of Results. Net income was $32.9 million, or $0.65 per diluted share,
for the second quarter of 2006 as compared to $32.0 million, or $0.64 per
diluted share, for the second quarter of 2005. Net income in the second quarter
of 2006 and 2005 included realized investment (losses) gains (net of the related
income tax (benefit) expense) of $(0.2) million, or $0 per diluted share, and
$2.2 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, respectively. The increase in net
income in the second quarter of 2006 is primarily attributable to growth in
income from group employee benefit products, increased investment spreads on the
Company's asset accumulation products and an increase in net investment income,
partially offset by an increase in interest expense and losses from discontinued
operations. Premiums from the Company's core group employee benefit products
increased 16% in the second quarter of 2006 and the combined ratio (loss ratio
plus expense ratio) decreased to 92.4% in the second quarter of 2006 from 94.7%
in the second quarter of 2005. The 10% increase in net investment income in the
second

<PAGE>

quarter of 2006 from the second quarter of 2005 reflects a 10% increase in
average invested assets. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to
the increases in the weighted average borrowings and the weighted average
borrowing rate due to increases in the levels of the short-term interest indices
referenced under the Company's revolving credit facility during the second
quarter of 2006 as compared to the second quarter of 2005. During the second
quarter of 2006 and 2005, the Company had (losses) income from discontinued
operations (net of the related income tax (benefit) expense) of $(2.9) million,
or $(0.06) per diluted share, and $1.0 million, or $0.02 per diluted share,
respectively, attributable to its non-core property catastrophe reinsurance
business which it decided to exit during the fourth quarter of 2005.

Premium and Fee Income. Premium and fee income for the second quarter of 2006
was $280.3 million as compared to $246.1 million for the second quarter of 2005,
an increase of 14%. Premiums from core group employee benefit products increased
16% to $267.4 million for the second quarter of 2006 from $230.0 million for the
second quarter of 2005. This increase reflects normal growth in employment and
salary levels for the Company's existing customer base, price increases, new
business production and improved persistency. Premiums from excess workers'
compensation insurance for self-insured employers increased 24% to $65.3 million
for the second quarter of 2006 from $52.9 million for the second quarter of
2005. This increase was primarily due to the demand for this product as a result
of high primary workers' compensation rates. In its renewals of insurance
coverages during the second quarter of 2006, SNCC continued to obtain higher SIR
levels which were up 10%, while maintaining its pricing. Excess workers'
compensation new business production, which represents the amount of new
annualized premium sold, increased 98% to $9.1 million in the second quarter of
2006 from $4.6 million for the second quarter of 2005 and the retention of
existing customers in the second quarter of 2006 remained strong. Excess
workers' compensation new business production for the important July renewal
season increased 68% to $15.0 million in 2006 from $8.9 million in 2005. New
business production for 2006 benefited from a renewal rights agreement into
which SNCC entered July 2005. Under the agreement, SNCC acquired, among other
things, the right to offer renewal quotes to expiring excess workers'
compensation policies of a former competitor. Premiums from the Company's other
core group employee benefit products increased 14% to $202.1 million for the
second quarter of 2006 from $177.1 million for the second quarter of 2005,
primarily reflecting new business production, improved retention of existing
customers and growth in the Company's turnkey disability business. New business
production for the Company's other core group employee benefit products was
$44.3 million for the second quarter of 2006 and $46.3 million for the second
quarter of 2005. New business production does not include premiums from the
Company's turnkey disability business. The level of production achieved from
these products reflects the Company's focus on the small case niche (insured
groups of 10 to 500 individuals) which resulted in a 16% increase in production
based on the number of cases sold as compared to the second quarter of 2005. The
Company continued to implement price increases for certain existing disability
and group life customers.

Deposits from the Company's asset accumulation products were $23.7 million for
the second quarter of 2006 as compared to $27.5 million for the second quarter
of 2005. The decrease in deposits was attributable to the increase in short-term
interest rates, which has caused short-term investment products to be an
attractive alternative to fixed annuity products. Deposits from the Company's
assets accumulation products are recorded as liabilities rather than as
premiums.

Net Investment Income. Net investment income in the second quarter of 2006 was
$60.8 million as compared to $55.1 million in the second quarter of 2005, an
increase of 10%. The level of net investment income in the 2006 period reflects
a 10% increase in average invested assets in such period and an increase in the
tax equivalent weighted average annualized yield. The tax equivalent weighted
average annualized yield on invested assets was 6.3% for the second quarter of
2006 and 6.2% in the second quarter of 2005.

Net Realized Investment (Losses) Gains. Net realized investment (losses) gains
were $(0.3) million for the second quarter of 2006 as compared to $3.3 million
for the second quarter of 2005. The Company's investment strategy results in
periodic sales of securities and, therefore, the recognition of realized
investment gains and losses. During the second quarters of 2006 and 2005, the
Company recognized $1.2 million and $4.0 million, respectively, of net gains on
sales of securities. The Company monitors its investments on an ongoing basis.
When the market value of a security declines below its cost, and management
judges the decline to be other than temporary, the security is written down to
fair value, and the decline is reported as a realized investment loss. In the
second quarters of 2006 and 2005, the Company recognized $1.5 million and $0.7
million, respectively, of losses due to the other than temporary declines in the
market values of certain fixed maturity securities.

The Company may recognize additional losses of this type in the future. The
Company anticipates that if certain other existing declines in security values
are determined to be other than temporary, it may recognize additional
investment losses in the range of $5 million to $10 million, on an after-tax
basis, with respect to the relevant securities. However, the extent of any such
losses will depend on future market developments and changes in security values,
and such losses may be outside this range. The Company continuously monitors the
affected securities pursuant to its procedures for evaluation for the other than
temporary impairment in valuation which are described in the section entitled
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates - Investments" in the
2005 Form 10-K. It is not possible to predict the extent of any future changes
in value, positive or negative, or the results of the future application of


                                      -15-

<PAGE>

these procedures, with respect to these securities. There can be no assurance
that the Company will realize investment gains in the future in an amount
sufficient to offset any such losses.

Benefits and Expenses. Policyholder benefits and expenses were $282.9 million
for the second quarter of 2006 as compared to $254.1 million for the second
quarter of 2005, an increase of 11%. This increase primarily reflects the
increase in premiums from the Company's group employee benefit products
discussed above, and also reflects additions to reserves for prior years' claims
and claim expenses in the amount of $11.0 million due to adverse loss
experience, primarily arising from the Company's excess workers' compensation
line and due principally to moderately increased claim frequency, relative
to prior periods, relating to policies written during the competitive market
cycle years of 1997 to 2001. If this experience trend were to continue in the
future, absent favorable loss experience in other policy years, the Company's
results of operations could be materially adversely affected. The combined ratio
(loss ratio plus expense ratio) for the Company's group employee benefits
segment decreased to 92.4% in the second quarter of 2006 from 94.7% in the
second quarter of 2005.

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $6.4 million for the second quarter of
2006 as compared to $5.5 million for the second quarter of 2005, an increase of
$0.9 million. The increase was primarily due to the increases in the weighted
average borrowings and the weighted average borrowing rate due to increases in
the levels of the short-term interest indices referenced under the Company's
revolving credit facility during the second quarter 2006 as compared to the
second quarter of 2005.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense was $15.6 million for the second quarter
of 2006 as compared to $14.0 million for the second quarter of 2005. The
Company's effective tax rate was 30.4% for the second quarter of 2006 and 31.0%
for the second quarter of 2005.

(Loss) Income from Discontinued Operations. During the fourth quarter of 2005,
the Company decided to exit its non-core property catastrophe reinsurance
business, due to the volatility associated with such business and other
strategic considerations, and did not enter into or renew any assumed property
reinsurance contracts. In the second quarter of 2006, the Company recognized an
after-tax operating loss of $(2.9) million, or $(0.06) per diluted share, net of
an income tax benefit of $1.6 million, substantially all of which was
attributable to additional losses relating to the Katrina and Wilma hurricanes
which occurred in 2005. In the second quarter of 2005, the Company recognized
after-tax operating income of $1.0 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, net of
income tax expense of $0.5 million from this business.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

General. The Company had approximately $114.3 million of financial resources
available at the holding company level at June 30, 2006, which was primarily
comprised of investments in the common stock of its investment subsidiaries,
investments in limited partnerships and limited liability companies and
short-term investments. The assets of the investment subsidiaries are primarily
invested in limited partnerships and limited liability companies. Other sources
of liquidity at the holding company level include dividends paid from
subsidiaries, primarily generated from operating cash flows and investments. The
Company's insurance subsidiaries are permitted, without prior regulatory
approval, to make dividends payments totaling $72.5 million during 2006, of
which $0.8 million has been paid to the holding company during the first six
months of 2006. In general, dividends from the Company's non-insurance
subsidiaries are not subject to regulatory or other restrictions. The Company
had $82.0 million of borrowings available to it under its revolving credit
facility as of June 30, 2006. A shelf registration statement is also in effect
under which securities yielding proceeds of up to $106.2 million may be issued
by the Company.

The Company's current liquidity needs, in addition to funding its operating
expenses, include principal and interest payments on outstanding borrowings
under its revolving credit facility, interest payments on the 2033 Senior Notes,
and distributions on the Capital Securities and the 2003 Capital Securities. The
maximum amount of borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility,
which expires in May 2010, is $200.0 million. The 2033 Senior Notes mature in
their entirety in May 2033 and are not subject to any sinking fund requirements
but are redeemable by the Company at par at any time on or after May 15, 2008.
The junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures underlying the Capital
Securities are not redeemable prior to March 25, 2007. The junior subordinated
deferrable interest debentures underlying the 2003 Capital Securities are
redeemable, in whole or in part, beginning May 15, 2008.

On August 3, 2006, the Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of
$0.08 per share, which will be paid on the Company's Class A Common Stock and
Class B Common Stock on August 31, 2006.

The Company and its subsidiaries expect available sources of liquidity to exceed
their current and long-term cash requirements.

Cash Flows. Operating activities increased cash by $149.1 million and $134.9
million in the first half of 2006 and 2005, respectively. Net investing
activities used $241.3 million of cash during the first half of 2006 primarily
for the purchase of securities, and financing activities provided $99.4 million
of cash principally due to the issuance of funding agreements and an


                                      -16-

<PAGE>

increase in borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility, partially
offset by repurchases of the Company's Class A Common Stock having a total cost
of $16.6 million.

Share Repurchase Program. The Company's board of directors has authorized a
share repurchase program. Share repurchases are effected by the Company in the
open market or in negotiated transactions in compliance with the safe harbor
provisions of Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Execution
of the share repurchase program is based on management's assessment of market
conditions for its common stock and other potential uses of capital. During the
first quarter of 2006, the Company repurchased 480,900 shares of its Class A
Common Stock for a total cost of $16.6 million with a volume weighted average
price of $34.47 per share. At June 30, 2006, the repurchase of approximately 0.9
million shares remained authorized under this program.

Investments. The Company's overall investment strategy emphasizes safety and
liquidity, while seeking the best available return, by focusing on, among other
things, managing the Company's interest-sensitive assets and liabilities and
seeking to minimize the Company's exposure to fluctuations in interest rates.
The Company's investment portfolio, which totaled $4.1 billion at June 30, 2006,
consists primarily of investments in fixed maturity securities, mortgage loans,
investments in limited partnerships and short-term investments. During the first
half of 2006, the market value of the Company's investment portfolio, in
relation to its amortized cost, decreased by $93.8 million from year-end 2005,
before related changes in the cost of business acquired of $11.9 million and the
income tax provision of $27.4 million. In addition, the Company recognized
pre-tax net investment losses of $1.5 million in the first half of 2006. The
weighted average credit rating of the Company's fixed maturity portfolio as
rated by Standard & Poor's Corporation was "AA" at June 30, 2006. While ratings
of this type address credit risk, they do not address other risks, such as
prepayment and extension risks. See "Forward-Looking Statements and Cautionary
Statements Regarding Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results" and Part II
Item 1A, "Risk Factors" for a discussion of various risks relating to the
Company's investment portfolio.

Reinsurance. The Company cedes portions of the risks relating to its group
employee benefit products under indemnity reinsurance agreements with various
unaffiliated reinsurers. The Company pays reinsurance premiums which are
generally based upon specified percentages of the Company's premiums on the
business reinsured. These agreements expire at various intervals as to new
risks, and replacement agreements are negotiated on terms believed appropriate
in light of current market conditions. During 2005, the Company entered into a
reinsurance arrangement under which the Company cedes 30% of its excess workers'
compensation risks between $100.0 million and $150.0 million, per policy per
occurrence. This change has increased the reinsurance premiums paid by the
Company for these products.

In the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company decided to exit its non-core property
catastrophe reinsurance business, due to the volatility associated with such
business and other strategic considerations, and has not thereafter renewed or
written any new reinsurance contracts in this business. A substantial majority
of these reinsurance contracts expired on or before December 31, 2005 and all of
the remaining contracts will expire prior to the end of the third quarter of
2006. Although the Company will continue to collect modest amounts of premium
and pay losses under the terms of the remaining contracts until their
expiration, these amounts are not expected to be material to the Company's
financial position.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes in the Company's exposure to market risk or
its management of such risk since December 31, 2005.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was performed
under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management,
including the Company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Vice President and
Treasurer (the individual who acts in the capacity of chief financial officer),
of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission). Based on that evaluation, the Company's
management, including the CEO and Vice President and Treasurer, concluded that
the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There were no
changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the
fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or
are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over
financial reporting.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS REGARDING CERTAIN FACTORS
THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

In connection with, and because it desires to take advantage of, the "safe
harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the
Company cautions readers regarding certain forward-looking statements in the
above "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations" and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and in any other statement made
by, or on behalf of, the Company, whether in future filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission or otherwise. Forward-looking statements are statements
not based on historical information and which relate to future operations,
strategies, financial results, prospects, outlooks or other developments. Some
forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of terms such as
"expects," "believes," "anticipates," "intends," "judgment," "outlook" or other
similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon
estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business,
economic, competitive and other uncertainties and contingencies, many of which
are beyond the Company's control and many of which, with respect to future
business decisions, are subject to change. Examples of such uncertainties and
contingencies include, among other important factors, those affecting the
insurance industry generally, such as the economic and interest rate
environment, federal and state legislative and regulatory developments,
including but not limited to changes in financial services, employee benefit and
tax laws and regulations, market pricing and competitive trends relating to
insurance products and services, acts of terrorism or war, and the availability
and cost of reinsurance, and those relating specifically to the Company's
business, such as the level of its insurance premiums and fee income, the claims
experience, persistency and other factors affecting the profitability of its
insurance products, the performance of its investment portfolio and changes in
the Company's investment strategy, acquisitions of companies or blocks of
business, and ratings by major rating organizations of the Company and its
insurance subsidiaries. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual
results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed
in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company. Certain
of these uncertainties and contingencies are described in more detail in Part II
Item 1A, "Risk Factors." The Company disclaims any obligation to update
forward-looking information.

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

     RESERVES ESTABLISHED FOR FUTURE POLICY BENEFITS AND CLAIMS MAY PROVE
INADEQUATE.

The Company's reserves for future policy benefits and unpaid claims and claim
expenses are estimates that entail various assumptions and judgments. These
estimates are subject to variability, since the factors and events affecting the
ultimate liability for claims have not all taken place, and thus cannot be
evaluated with certainty. Moreover, under the actuarial methodologies utilized
by the Company, these estimates are subject to reevaluation based on developing
trends with respect to the Company's loss experience. Such trends may emerge
over longer periods of time, and changes in such trends cannot necessarily be
identified or predicted at any given time by reference to current claims
experience, whether favorable or unfavorable. If the Company's actual loss
experience from its current or discontinued products is different from the
Company's assumptions or estimates, the Company's reserves could be inadequate.
In such event, the Company's results of operations, liquidity or financial
condition could be materially adversely affected.

     THE MARKET VALUES OF THE COMPANY'S INVESTMENTS FLUCTUATE.

The market values of the Company's investments vary depending on economic and
market conditions, including interest rates, and such values can decline as a
result of changes in such conditions. Increasing interest rates or a widening in
the spread between interest rates available on U.S. Treasury securities and
corporate debt, for example, will typically have an adverse impact on the market
values of the fixed maturity securities in the Company's investment portfolio.
If interest rates decline, the Company generally achieves a lower overall rate
of return on investments of cash generated from the Company's operations. In
addition, in the event that investments are called or mature in a declining
interest rate environment, the Company may be unable to reinvest the proceeds in
securities with comparable interest rates. The Company may also in the future be
required or determine to sell certain investments, whether to meet contractual
obligations to its policyholders, or otherwise, at a price and a time when the
market value of such investments is less than the book value of such
investments.

Declines in the fair value of investments that are considered in the judgment of
management to be other than temporary are reported as realized investment
losses. The Company has experienced and may in the future experience losses from
other than temporary declines in security values. Such losses are recorded as
realized investment losses in the income statement. See "Results of Operations -
Net Realized Investment (Losses) Gains." In addition, the Company invests in
certain limited partnerships and limited liability companies that invest in
various financial instruments. These investments are reflected in the Company's
financial statements under the equity method; accordingly, positive or negative
changes in the value of the investees' financial instruments are included in net
investment income. Thus, the Company's results of operations, in addition to its


                                      -18-

liquidity and financial condition, could be materially adversely affected if
these entities were to experience significant losses in the values of their
financial assets.

     THE COMPANY'S INVESTMENT AND FINANCING STRATEGY EXPOSES THE COMPANY TO
DEFAULT AND OTHER RISKS.

The management of the Company's investment portfolio is an important component
of the Company's profitability since a substantial portion of the Company's
operating income is generated from the difference between the yield achieved on
invested assets and, in the case of asset accumulation products, the interest
credited on policyholder funds and, in the case of the Company's other products
for which reserves are discounted, the discount rate used to calculate the
related reserves.

The Company is subject to the risk, among others, that the issuers of the fixed
maturity securities the Company owns will default on principal and interest
payments. A major economic downturn or any of the various other factors that
affect issuers' abilities to pay could result in issuer defaults. Because the
Company's investments consist primarily of fixed maturity securities and
short-term investments, such defaults could materially adversely affect the
Company's results of operations, liquidity or financial condition. The Company
continually monitors its investment portfolio and attempts to ensure that the
risks associated with concentrations of investments in either a particular
sector of the market or a single entity are limited.

At June 30, 2006, mortgage-backed securities comprised 22% of the Company's
total invested assets. Mortgage-backed securities subject the Company to a
degree of interest rate risk, including prepayment and extension risk, which is
generally a function of the sensitivity of each security's underlying collateral
to prepayments under varying interest rate environments and the repayment
priority of the securities in the particular securitization structure. The
Company seeks to limit the extent of this risk by emphasizing the more
predictable payment classes and securities with stable collateral.

The Company, through its insurance subsidiaries, maintains a program in which
investments are financed using advances from various Federal Home Loan Banks.
The Company has utilized this program to manage the duration of its liabilities
and to earn spread income, which is the difference between the financing cost
and the earnings from the investments purchased with those funds. At June 30,
2006, the Company had an outstanding advance of $55.0 million. The advance was
obtained at a fixed rate and has a term to maturity of 14.0 years. In addition,
the Company has from time to time utilized reverse repurchase agreements,
futures and option contracts and interest rate and credit default swaps in
connection with its investment strategy. These transactions may require the
Company to maintain securities or cash on deposit with the applicable
counterparty as collateral. As the market value of the collateral or contracts
changes, the Company may be required to deposit additional collateral or be
entitled to have a portion of the collateral returned to it. The Company also
maintains a securities lending program under which certain securities from its
portfolio are loaned to other institutions for short periods of time. The
Company maintains full ownership rights to the securities loaned and continues
to earn interest and dividends on them. The collateral received for securities
loaned is recorded at the fair value of the collateral, which is generally in an
amount in excess of the market value of the securities loaned. The Company's
institutional lending agent monitors the market value of the securities loaned
and obtains additional collateral as necessary.

The types and amounts of investments made by the Company's insurance
subsidiaries are subject to the insurance laws and regulations of their
respective states of domicile. Each of these states has comprehensive investment
regulations. In addition, the Company's revolving credit facility also contains
limitations, with which the Company is currently in compliance in all material
respects, on the composition of the Company's investment portfolio. The Company
also continually monitors its investment portfolio and attempts to ensure that
the risks associated with concentrations of investments in either a particular
sector of the market or a single entity are limited.

     THE COMPANY'S FINANCIAL POSITION EXPOSES THE COMPANY TO INTEREST RATE
RISKS.

Because the Company's primary assets and liabilities are financial in nature,
the Company's consolidated financial position and earnings are subject to risks
resulting from changes in interest rates. The Company manages this risk by
active portfolio management focusing on minimizing its exposure to fluctuations
in interest rates by matching its invested assets and related liabilities and by
periodically adjusting the crediting rates on its annuity products. The
profitability of certain group employee benefit products is also affected by the
difference between the yield achieved on invested assets and the discount rate
used to calculate the related reserves. The Company manages this risk by seeking
to adjust the prices charged for these products.

     THE COMPANY'S ABILITY TO REDUCE ITS EXPOSURE TO RISKS DEPENDS ON THE
AVAILABILITY AND COST OF REINSURANCE.

The Company transfers its exposure to some risks through reinsurance
arrangements with other insurance and reinsurance companies. Under the Company's
reinsurance arrangements, another insurer assumes a specified portion of the
Company's losses and loss adjustment expenses in exchange for a specified
portion of policy premiums. The availability, amount, cost and terms of
reinsurance may vary significantly based on market conditions. Any decrease in
the amount of the Company's reinsurance will increase the Company's risk of loss
and any increase in the cost of reinsurance will, absent a decrease in the


                                      -19-

<PAGE>

reinsurance amount, reduce the Company's premium income. In either case, the
Company's operating results could be adversely affected unless it is able to
accordingly adjust the prices or other terms of its insurance policies or
successfully implement other operational initiatives, as to which no assurance
can be given. Furthermore, the Company is subject to credit risk with respect to
reinsurance. The Company obtains reinsurance primarily through indemnity
reinsurance transactions in which the Company is still liable for the
transferred risks if the reinsurers fail to meet their financial obligations.
Such failures could materially adversely affect the Company's results of
operations, liquidity or financial condition.

Following the terrorist events of September 11, 2001, due to various factors,
higher prices and less favorable terms and conditions have been offered in the
reinsurance market. In the future, the Company's reinsurers may continue to seek
price increases, although the extent of any such increases cannot currently be
predicted. Also, there has been significantly reduced availability of
reinsurance covering risks such as terrorist and catastrophic events.
Accordingly, substantially all of the Company's coverages of this nature were
discontinued during 2002, which would result in the Company retaining a higher
portion of losses from such events if they occur. The Company has not been able
to replace such coverages on acceptable terms due to present market conditions,
and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to do so in the
future. However, under the Terrorism Act, which terminates on December 31, 2007,
the federal government will pay 90% and 85% of the Company's covered losses
above the annual deductible during 2006 and 2007, respectively, relating to acts
of international terrorism from property and casualty products directly written
by SNCC. The occurrence of a significant terrorist or catastrophic event could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, liquidity
or financial condition.

     THE INSURANCE BUSINESS IS A HEAVILY REGULATED INDUSTRY.

The Company's insurance subsidiaries, like other insurance companies, are highly
regulated by state insurance authorities in the states in which they are
domiciled and the other states in which they conduct business. Such regulations,
among other things, limit the amount of dividends and other payments that can be
made by such subsidiaries without prior regulatory approval and impose
restrictions on the amount and type of investments such subsidiaries may have.
These regulations also affect many other aspects of the Company's insurance
subsidiaries' businesses, including, for example, RBC requirements, various
reserve requirements, the terms, conditions and manner of sale and marketing of
insurance products, claims-handling practices and the form and content of
required financial statements. These regulations are intended to protect
policyholders rather than investors. The ability of the Company's insurance
subsidiaries to continue to conduct their businesses is dependent upon the
maintenance of their licenses in these various states.

In April 2004, the New York Attorney General ("NYAG") initiated an investigation
into certain insurance broker compensation arrangements and other aspects of
dealings between insurance brokers and insurance companies, and, in connection
therewith, filed a civil complaint in October 2004 against a major insurance
brokerage firm based on certain of such firm's compensation arrangements with
insurers and alleged misconduct in connection with the placement of insurance
business. Other state regulators subsequently announced the commencement of
similar investigations and reviews. The Company has received administrative
subpoenas or similar requests for information from the Illinois Division of
Insurance, the Missouri Department of Insurance, the NYAG's office, the North
Carolina Department of Insurance and the Ohio Department of Insurance in
connection with their investigations. The Company anticipates that additional
regulatory inquiries may be received by its insurance subsidiaries as the
various investigations continue. The Company has fully cooperated with inquiries
it has received to date, and it intends to fully cooperate with any future
inquiries of this type.

Based on an internal review in 2004 relating to the Company's insurance
subsidiaries, the Company had identified certain potential issues concerning
past insurance solicitation practices involving SNCC and Marsh & McLennan. The
instances that the Company was able to specifically identify in this regard were
limited in number and involved modest amounts of premium. The Company reported
on these issues to the NYAG's office and to the Missouri Department of
Insurance. In 2005, SNCC was the subject of a targeted market conduct
examination by the Missouri Department of Insurance relating to these issues,
which did not result in any significant adverse findings. The Company will fully
cooperate with these and any other regulatory agencies relating to these issues.
It is not possible to predict the future impact of this matter on the Company or
of the various investigations, or any regulatory changes or litigation resulting
from such investigations, on the insurance industry or on the Company and its
insurance subsidiaries.

From time to time, increased scrutiny has been placed upon the insurance
regulatory framework, and a number of state legislatures have considered or
enacted legislative measures that alter, and in many cases increase, state
authority to regulate insurance companies. In addition to legislative
initiatives of this type, the NAIC and insurance regulators are continuously
involved in a process of reexamining existing laws and regulations and their
application to insurance companies. Furthermore, while the federal government
currently does not directly regulate the insurance business, federal legislation
and administrative policies (and court interpretations thereof) in a number of
areas, such as employee benefits regulation, age, sex and disability-based
discrimination, financial services regulation and federal taxation, can
significantly affect the insurance business. It is not


                                      -20-

<PAGE>
possible to predict the future impact of changing regulation on the operations
of the Company and its insurance subsidiaries.

The Company's insurance subsidiaries can also be required, under solvency or
guaranty laws of most states in which they do business, to pay assessments to
fund policyholder losses or liabilities of insurance companies that become
insolvent.

     THE FINANCIAL SERVICES INDUSTRY IS HIGHLY COMPETITIVE.

The Company competes with numerous other insurance and financial services
companies. Many of these organizations have substantially greater assets, higher
ratings from rating agencies, larger and more diversified portfolios of
insurance products and larger agency sales operations than the Company.
Competition in asset accumulation product markets is also encountered from
banks, securities brokerage firms and other financial intermediaries marketing
alternative savings products, such as mutual funds, traditional bank investments
and retirement funding alternatives.

     THE COMPANY MAY BE ADVERSELY IMPACTED BY A DECLINE IN THE RATINGS OF ITS
INSURANCE SUBSIDIARIES OR ITS OWN CREDIT RATINGS.

Ratings with respect to claims-paying ability and financial strength have become
an increasingly important factor impacting the competitive position of insurance
companies. The financial strength ratings of RSLIC as of July 2006 as assigned
by A.M. Best, Fitch, Moody's and Standard & Poor's were A (Excellent), A
(Strong), A3 (Good) and A (Strong), respectively. The financial strength ratings
of SNCC as of July 2006 as assigned by A.M. Best, Fitch and Standard & Poor's
were A (Excellent), A (Strong) and A (Strong), respectively. Each of the rating
agencies reviews its ratings of companies periodically and there can be no
assurance that these current ratings will be maintained or improved in the
future. Claims-paying and financial strength ratings are based upon factors
relevant to policyholders and are not directed toward protection of investors.
Downgrades in the ratings of the Company's insurance subsidiaries could
adversely affect sales of their products and could have a material adverse
effect on the results of the Company's operations. In addition, downgrades in
the Company's credit ratings could materially adversely affect its ability to
access the capital markets. The Company's senior unsecured debt ratings as of
July 2006 from A.M. Best, Fitch, Moody's and Standard & Poor's were bbb, BBB,
Baa3 and BBB, respectively. The ratings for RSLIC's fixed and floating rate
funding agreements as of July 2006 from A.M. Best, Moody's and Standard & Poor's
were a, A3 and A, respectively.

     ALMOST HALF OF THE VOTING POWER OF DELPHI IS CONTROLLED BY ROBERT
ROSENKRANZ, WHOSE INTERESTS MAY DIFFER FROM THOSE OF OTHER SECURITYHOLDERS.

Each share of Delphi's Class A Common Stock entitles the holder to one vote and
each share of Delphi's Class B Common Stock entitles the holder to a number of
votes per share equal to the lesser of (1) the number of votes such that the
aggregate of all outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock will be entitled to
cast 49.9% of all of the votes represented by the aggregate of all outstanding
shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock or (2) ten votes. Each
share of Class B Common Stock is convertible at any time into one share of Class
A Common Stock. The holders of the Class A Common Stock vote as a separate class
to elect one director of Delphi. As of August 1, 2006, Mr. Robert Rosenkranz,
our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, by means of beneficial ownership of
the general partner of Rosenkranz & Company and direct or beneficial ownership,
had the power to vote all of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock,
which as of such date represented 49.9% of the aggregate voting power of the
Common Stock. Holders of a majority of the combined voting power of Delphi's
stockholders have the power to elect all of the members of its Board of
Directors (other than the director elected by the holders of Class A Common
Stock) and to determine the outcome of fundamental corporate transactions,
including mergers and acquisitions, consolidations and sales of all or
substantially all of its assets. We are a party to consulting and other
agreements with certain affiliates of Mr. Rosenkranz under which various fees
are paid to such affiliates, and which are expected to continue in accordance
with their terms.
