                  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

================================================================================

1.   General 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been 
prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. 
Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required by generally accepted 
accounting principles for complete financial statements are not included herein.
The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Prospectus 
dated November 20, 1995 (Registration No. 33-97304).

Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein to the "Company" 
include LaSalle Re Holdings Limited and its subsidiary, LaSalle Re Limited 
("LaSalle Re").

Interim statements are subject to possible adjustments in connection with the 
annual audit of the Company's accounts for the full year, in the Company's 
opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of these interim 
statements have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature.

LaSalle Re was incorporated in Bermuda in October 1993 and initially capitalized
by several institutional and other investors (the "Founding Shareholders") with 
373.1 million. LaSalle Re Holdings Limited was incorporated in Bermuda in 
September 1995. During the quarter ended December 31, 1995, the Company and 
LaSalle Re consummated an offer (the "Exchange Offer") pursuant to which, among 
other things, the Founding Shareholders exchanged their capital stock of LaSalle
Re for common shares of the Company (the "Common Shares") and, in certain 
circumstances, exchangeable non-voting shares of LaSalle Re (the "Exchangeable 
Non-Voting Shares"). The Exchangeable Non-Voting Shares are held by certain 
Founding Shareholders who would otherwise hold, or cause another shareholder to 
hold, directly, indirectly or constructively, in excess of 9.9% of the voting 
power of the Company or LaSalle Re. The Exchangeable Non-Voting Shares are 
exchangeable, at the option of the holder, for Common Shares on a one-for-one 
basis, unless the board of directors of the Company determines such exchange  
may cause actual or potential adverse tax consequences to the Company or any 
shareholder. The Exchangeable Non-Voting Shares will at all times rank as to 
assets, dividends and in all other respects on a parity with the common shares
of LaSalle Re, except that they do not have the right to vote on any matters
except as required by Bermuda law and in connection with certain actions by the
Company.

During the quarter ended December 31, 1995, the Company and certain Founding 
Shareholders also consummated an initial public offering of 4,312,500 Common 
Shares (the "Offerings"), and LaSalle Re redeemed certain of its common shares 
from its shareholders (the "Redemption"). 

Since the consummation of the Exchange Offer, the Offerings and the Redemption, 
the Company has owned 100% of the outstanding voting stock of LaSalle Re, which 
constitutes approximately 63% of the outstanding capital stock of LaSalle Re. 
During the quarter ended December 31, 1995, LaSalle Re paid dividends of $75 
million and $25 million to holders of its capital stock prior to the Exchange 
Offer.

The Exchange Offer was accounted for as a pooling of interests. The consolidated
financial statements include the results of the Company and the Company's share
of LaSalle Re for all periods presented.

              Management's Discussion and Analysis of Operations
                            and Financial Condition
================================================================================

The following is a discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition 
as of March 31, 1996 and the results of operations for the three months and six 
months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995. This discussion and analysis should be 
read in conjunction with the attached unaudited consolidated financial 
statements and notes thereto of the Company and its subsidiary, LaSalle Re and 
the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the
Company's Prospectus dated November 20, 1995 (Registration No. 33-97304)

General

LaSalle Re was incorporated under the laws of Bermuda in October 1993 and 
commenced operations on November 22, 1993.  LaSalle Re was initially capitalized
with $373.1 million provided through the private sale of common shares and 
special non-voting shares to the Founding Shareholders. In contemplation of the 
Offerings, the Company was organized as a holding company for all of the 
outstanding voting common shares of LaSalle Re.  Immediately prior to the 
completion of the Offerings, an Exchange Offer was consummated, pursuant to 
which the Founding Shareholders exchanged their capital stock of LaSalle Re 
(other than capital stock of LaSalle Re that was redeemed by LaSalle Re in the 
Redemption) for Common Shares and, in certain circumstances, Exchangeable 
Non-Voting Shares.  The Exchangeable Non-Voting Shares are held by certain 
Founding Shareholders who would otherwise hold, or cause another shareholder to 
hold, directly, indirectly or constructively, in excess of 9.9% of the voting 
power of the Company or LaSalle Re.  The Exchangeable Non-Voting Shares are 
exchangeable, at the option of the holder, for Common Shares on a one-for-one 
basis, unless the Board determines such exchange may cause actual or potential 
adverse tax consequences to the Company or any shareholder.  Immediately 
following the completion of the Offerings, LaSalle Re consummated the 
Redemption, pursuant to which it redeemed from certain selling shareholders 
capital stock of LaSalle Re at a price per share that was equivalent to the 
initial public offering price per Common Share (less the underwriting discount 
and commissions).

Since the consummation of the Exchange Offer, the Offerings and the Redemption, 
the Company has owned 100% of the outstanding voting stock of LaSalle Re, which 
constitutes approximately 63% of the outstanding capital stock of LaSalle Re.

The Company writes property catastrophe reinsurance on a worldwide basis 
through its subsidiary, LaSalle Re.  Property catastrophe reinsurance contracts
cover unpredictable events such as hurricanes, windstorms, hailstorms, 
earthquakes, fires, industrial explosions, freezes, riots, floods and other 
man-made or natural disasters.  Therefore, there can be significant volatility 
in the Company's results from fiscal quarter to quarter and fiscal year to year.
In addition, as a result of the Company's limited operating and claims
history, the financial data included herein are not necessarily indicative of
the financial condition or results of operations of the Company in the future.

Results of Operations - for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995

Net premiums written for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 were $132.6 million 
compared to $137.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1995, a decrease of 
3.4%.  The Company does not purchase retrocessional protection therefore, there 
is no difference between gross and net premiums written.  For the three months 
ended March 31, 1996, property catastrophe premiums written by the Company in
the United States decreased 21.7% to $42.9 million from $54.8 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1995. The decrease is a combination of a
restructuring of reinsurance programs by cedants, a modification by the Company
in the mix of clients and rate reductions. International property catastrophe
premiums written by the Company increased 11.1%

to $77.6 million from $69.8 million, which reflects increased penetration in 
major geographic zones in accordance with the Company's business plan. Other 
lines of business increased 20.2% to $12.1 million from $10.1 million. 
Reinstatement premiums for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 totaled $1.3 million
and related primarily to Hurricanes Luis and Marilyn and European storms. In the
quarter ended March 31, 1995, reinstatement premiums were $0.9 million and 
related primarily to adjustments on the Northridge, California earthquake loss 
reserves.

Net premiums earned for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 were $53.6 million 
compared to $45.3 million for the same quarter in 1995. The 18.3% increase was 
due to the overall increase in premiums written in the third and fourth fiscal 
quarters of 1995 compared to 1994. Premiums on property catastrophe excess of 
loss contracts are earned on a pro rata basis over the period coverage is 
provided, which is generally 12 months. Under proportional property catastrophe
contacts, the risks, underlying the contracts incept throughout the policy 
period and premiums generally are earned over 18 months.

Net investment income increased 4.7% to $6.4 million for the quarter ended March
31, 1996 from $6.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1995. The increase 
was attributable to a larger average investment base in the quarter ended March 
31, 1996 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1995. Annualized investment 
income as a percentage of the average market value of invested assets was 5.6% 
for both the 1996 and 1995 period.

Net realized losses on investment were $0.02 million during the quarter ended 
March 31, 1996 compared to $0.0 million net gains or losses during the quarter 
ended March 31, 1995. In accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles, unrealized gains and losses on the Company's investment portfolio 
are not recognized in the Company's consolidate results of operations but are 
reflected as a separate component of shareholders' equity.

The following table sets forth the Company's combined ratios for the 
three-month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995:

ended March 31, 1995. The main components of losses and loss expenses incurred 
during the quarter ended March 31, 1996 relate to a strengthening in reserves of
$10.3 million for Hurricanes Luis and Marilyn and $1.5 million for

Norwegian floods. Other losses incurred in the quarter include international and
United States winter storms of $1.2 million and a satellite loss of $1 million. 
Losses and loss expenses incurred in the quarter ended March 31, 1995 included 
$6.7 million for the Kobe, Japan earthquake, $4.7 million for a per risk fire 
loss and $1.9 million for losses relating to a variety of world wide losses 
reported under proportional contracts.

The expense ratio includes underwriting expenses and operational expenses. 
Underwriting expenses include brokerage, commissions, excise taxes and other 
costs related to underwriting reinsurance contracts. Underwriting expenses as a 
percentage of net earned premiums were 13.4% for the quarter ended March 31, 
1996 compared to 13.2% for the quarter ended March 31, 1995.

Operational expenses as a percentage of earned premiums were 5.1% during the 
quarter ended March 31, 1996 compared with 3.6% for the quarter ended March 31, 
1995. The increase is primarily due to increased staff at the executive level 
and increased fees under the Administrative Services Agreement between the 
Company and Aon Risk Consultants (Bermuda) Ltd.

Corporate expenses were $0.06 million during the quarter ended March 31, 1996 
compared with $0.0 million in the quarter ended March 31, 1995. Corporate 
expenses included costs associated with the Offerings, other than the 
underwriting discount. All corporate expenses are charged to income in the 
period they are incurred.

Interest expense was $0.06 million during the quarter ended March 31, 1996 
compared with $0.0 million in the quarter ended March 31, 1995. Interest expense
in the quarter relates to ongoing commitment fees payable on the Company's 
credit facility. As at March 31, 1996, there were no borrowings under this 
facility.

Foreign exchange losses in the quarter ended March 31, 1996 were $0.3 million 
compared to gains of $0.8 million in the quarter March 31, 1995. The losses in 
the quarter were primarily due to the weak performance of Sterling against the 
United States dollar. Foreign exchange losses in the quarter were partially 
mitigated through the use of foreign currency contracts. In the quarter ended 
March 31, 1995, the Company experienced foreign currency gains as a result of 
the United States dollar depreciation against Sterling.

The Company's net income per share was $1.31 for the quarter ended March 31, 
1996.

Results of Operations - for the six months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995

Net premiums written for the six months ended March 31, 1996 were $145.2 million
compared to $140.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 1995, an increase
of 3.1%. The increase in premiums written was due to new, renewal and adjustment
premiums in the first three months of the period which more than offeset the
decrease in premiums written in the second three months of the period.
Reinstatement premiums for the six months totaled $3.1 million and related
primarily to Hurricanes Marilyn, Luis, Opal, and European storms. In the six
months ended March 31, 1995, reinstatement premiums were $0.8 million and
related primarily to adjustments on the Northridge, California earthquake loss
reserves.

Net premiums earned for the six months ended March 31, 1996 were $103.1 million 
compared to $74.0 million for the same period in 1995. The 39.3% increase was 
due to the overall increase in premiums written in the third and fourth fiscal 
quarters of 1995 compared to 1994.

Net investment income increased 7.5% to $12.6 million for the six months ended 
March 31, 1996 from $11.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 1995. The 
increase is attributable to a larger average investment base in the six months 
ended March 31, 1996 compared to the six months ended March 31, 1995. Annualized
investment income as a percentage of the average market value of invested assets
was 5.4% for both the 1996 and 1995 period.

Net realized gains on investments were $0.01 million during the six months ended
March 31, 1996 compared to negligible net losses during the six months ended 
March 31, 1995.

The following table sets forth the Company's combined ratios for the six-month 
periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995:

Combined ratio                            51.5%               36.9%


The Company incurred losses and loss expenses of $34.2 million during the six 
months ended March 31, 1996 compared with $14.1 million during the six months 
ended March 31, 1995. Losses and loss expenses incurred during the six months 
ended March 31, 1996 included $6.5 million for German hailstorms, $1.6 million 
for Norwegian floods, international and United States winter storms of $1.5 
million, various risk losses totaling $2.1 million and a satellite loss of $1 
million. There was a strengthening in reserves of $13.7 million for Hurricanes 
Marilyn and Luis. Losses and loss expenses incurred in the six months ended 
March 31, 1995 included $6.7 million for the Kobe, Japan earthquake, $4.7 
million for a per risk fire loss and $1.9 million for losses relating to a 
variety of world wide losses reported under proportional contracts.

Underwriting expenses as a percentage of net premiums earned were 13.3% for the 
six months ended March 31, 1996 compared to 14.3% for the six months ended March
31, 1995. The reduction is due to the structure of the underwriting profit 
commission accrual under the Underwriting Services Agreement between the Company
and CNA (Bermuda) Services Ltd. Underwriting expenses for the six months ended 
March 31, 1995 included an annual profit commission accrual as significant 
losses incurred in early 1994 prevented an earlier accrual of the annual profit 
commission. Underwriting expenses for the six months ended March 31, 1996 only 
included a six month allocation of profit commission since the conditions for 
an underwriting profit commission accrual continued to be met.

Operational expenses as a percentage of earned premiums were 5.0% during the six
months ended March 31, 1996 compared with 3.6% for the six months ended March 
31, 1995. The increase was primarily due to increased staff at the executive 
level and increased fees under the Administrative Services Agreement between the
Company and Aon Risk Consultants (Bermuda) Ltd.

Corporate expenses were $0.9 million during the six months ended March 31, 1996 
compared with $(0.2) million in the six months ended March 31, 1995. Corporate 
expenses included costs

associated with the Offerings, other than the underwriting discount. Corporate
expenses also included all costs associated with the establishment of the
Company's debt facility, including $0.4 million for the one time arrangement fee
and participation fee paid to the lead bank for completing the debt facility. In
1995, the recovery related to a reduction in the estimated legal costs
associated with the initial private placement of securities. All corporate
expenses are charged to income in the period they are incurred.

Interest expense was $0.1 million during the six months ended March 31, 1996
compared with $0.0 million in the six months ended March 31, 1995. Interest
expense relates to ongoing agency and commitment fees payable on the Company's
credit facility. As at March 31, 1996, there were no borrowings under this
facility.

Foreign exchange losses in the six months ended March 31, 1996 were $0.8 million
compared to gains of $0.8 million in the six months ended March 31, 1995. The
losses in the six months ended March 1996 31, 1996 were primarily due to the
weak performance of Sterling against the United States dollar. Foreign exchange
losses in the six months ended March 31, 1995 were partially mitigated through
the use of foreign currency contracts. In the six months ended March 31, 1995,
the Company experienced foreign currency gains as a result of the United States
dollar depreciation against Sterling.

The Company's net income per share was $2.55 for the six months ended March 31,
1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As a holding company, the Company's assets consist primarily of all of the
outstanding voting stock of LaSalle Re. The Company's cash flows depend
primarily on dividends and other permitted payments from LaSalle Re.

LaSalle Re's sources of funds consist of net premiums collected, investment
income and proceeds from sales and redemptions of investments. Funds are applied
primarily to the settlement of losses and loss expenses, administrative expenses
and dividends. Under the Bermuda Insurance Act 1978 (the "Insurance Act"),
LaSalle Re is generally prohibited from declaring or paying dividends in excess
of 25% of its statutory capital and surplus or when such dividends would result
in a breach of the solvency margin and minimum liquidity ratio requirements. As
of March 31, 1996, the Company had sufficient liquidity and capital to meet the
current requirements of the Insurance Act. In addition, the payment of dividends
by LaSalle Re will be subject to the rights of holders of the Exchangeable Non-
Voting Shares to receive a pro rata share of any dividend and to its need to
maintain shareholders' equity adequate to support the level of LaSalle Re's
insurance operations.

Operating activities provided cash of $56.2 million for the six months ended
March 31, 1996 compared to $58.8 million for six months ended March 31, 1995.
Cash flows from operations in future quarters may differ substantially from net
income. Cash flows are affected by loss payments, which, due to the nature of
the reinsurance coverage provided by LaSalle Re, are generally expected to
comprise large loss payments on a limited number of claims and can therefore
fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. The irregular timing of these
large loss payments can create significant variations in cash flows from
operations between periods. LaSalle Re funds such payments from cash flows from
operations and sales of investments.

The reduction in cash and cash equivalents during the six months ended March 31,
1996 from $82.3 million to $43.6 million was due primarily to the payment in 
October 1995 of $75 million in dividends which were accrued at September 30, 
1995.

The Company has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement 115 
("FASB 115") to account for its marketable securities. In accordance with FASB 
115, all of the Company's investments are classified as "available for sale." 
Under this classification, investments are recorded at fair market value and any
unrealized gains or losses are reported as a separate component of shareholders'
equity. The unrealized loss on the investment portfolio was $0.8 million at 
March 31, 1996 compared to $1.0 million at September 30, 1995.

As of March 31, 1995, the market value of investments available for sale totaled
$433.3 million with an average duration of 2.2 years. The portfolio had a 
minimum credit quality rating of "A" and 96.3% was rated "AA" or above. As of 
September 30, 1995, the market value of investments available for sale totaled 
$440.1 million with an average duration of 2.0 years and credit quality rating 
of "AA" or above.

In accordance with the terms of certain reinsurance contracts, the Company had 
posted letters of credit in the amount of $17.2 million as of March 31, 1996 as 
compared to $15.7 million as of September 30, 1995. These letters of credit 
support outstanding loss reserves and unearned premium reserves and fluctuate in
accordance with activity in these accounts. The letters of credit are secured by
a lien on the Company's investment portfolio equivalent to 115% of the posted 
letter of credit amount.

The Company has in place a $100 million committed line of credit from a 
syndicate of banks. The facility may only be used to buy preferred shares of 
LaSalle Re, which in turn may use the proceeds of such purchase to meet current 
cash requirements. The facility matures December 1, 2000, and is secured by a 
pledge ("legal mortgage") of all of the capital stock of LaSalle Re held by the 
Company. The line of credit contains various convenants, including: limitations 
on incurring additional indebtedness; prohibition of dividend payments that 
would cause the Company's tangible net worth to fall below $350 million; 
restriction of dividends to $7.5 million per fiscal quarter unless the Company's
tangible net worth (after giving effect to such dividends) is at least $375 
million; restrictions on the sale or lease of assets not in the ordinary course 
of business; maintenance of a ratio of consolidated total debt to consolidated 
tangible net worth of no more than 0.40 to 1.00; maintenance of tangible net 
worth at the end of each fiscal year of the greater of $250 million or 70% of 
net premiums written; maintenance of statutory capital at the end of each fiscal
year of at least $250 million; and maintenance of a ratio of net premiums 
written to statutory capital at the end of any fiscal quarter of no more than 
1.00 to 1.00 in each case.

In March 1996, the Company declared a $0.25 per share dividend to share holders 
on record as at March 28, 1996 payable on April 11, 1996. The total amount of 
the dividend declared was $3.6 million.

As of March 31, 1995 the Company had no material commitments for capital 
expenditures.

The Company's financial condition and results of operations are influenced by 
both internal and external forces. Loss payments, investment returns and 
premiums may be impacted by changing rates of inflation and other economic 
conditions. Cash flows from operations and the liquidity of the investment 
portfolio are, in the Company's opinion, adequate to meet the Company's expected
cash requirements in the foreseeable future.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements 

Except for historical financial and other information and descriptions of the 
current status of the Company and other conditions, information provided in this
Form 10-Q is forward looking. Actual results may differ materially as a result 
of many factors including, but not limited to, the following:

Limited Operating History

The Company commenced operations in November 1993 and accordingly has a limited 
operating and loss history. The Company's limited operating and loss history may
make it more difficult for the Company to assess the risks it underwrites based 
on its own historical loss experience and to project future results based on 
past results.

Volatility of Financial Results

Because the property catastrophe reinsurance business involves large aggregate 
exposures to man-made and natural disasters, the Company expects that its claim 
experience will be characterized by relatively low frequency and high severity. 
The occurrence of losses from catastrophic events is likely to result in 
substantial volatility in the Company's financial results for any fiscal quarter
or year and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial 
condition and results of operations and its ability to write new business.

The Company's property catastrophe reinsurance contracts cover unpredictable 
events such as hurricanes, windstorms, hailstorms, earthquakes, fires industrial
explosions, freezes, riots, floods and other man-made or natural disasters. The
Company endeavors to manage its exposure to catastrophic events by, among other
things, limiting the amount of its exposure in each geographic zone worldwide
and implementing exposure limits and attachment points on each property
catastrophe reinsurance contract. Nonetheless, a single catastrophic event could
affect multiple geographic zones or the frequency or severity of catastrophic
events could exceed the Company's estimates, either of which could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of
operations.

While the property catastrophe reinsurance contracts represent the most volatile
aspect of the Company's portfolio, other lines of insurance and reinsurance may
be assumed by the Company. These lines have their own characteristics, which may
include, but not be limited to, a longer reporting period between the event and
the discovery of the event giving rise to a loss. For these lines of insurance
and reinsurance, the Company will post incurred but not reported loss reserves
using actuarial techniques. Actual losses and loss expenses, if any, may
deviate, perhaps substantially, from the incurred but not reported loss reserve.
There can be no assurance that the final loss settlements, if any, will not
exceed the Company's incurred but not reported loss reserve and have a material
adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations in
a particular period.

Premium negotiations

The Company engages in negotiations with its clients and their brokers during 
the underwriting process with respect to rates, attachment points, limits and 
line size. Since all of these and other factors are subject to negotiation, any 
estimated premiums provided by the Company could change materially as 
negotiations are finalized and contracts are signed.

================================================================================
                                                                              14

               Management's Discussion and Analysis of Operations
                            and Financial Condition
================================================================================
Premiums for proportional contracts are based on estimates provided to the 
Company by the ceding company. These contracts are adjusted during the course of
the contract life as actual figures become available. There can be material 
differences between estimated and actual results and these differences can have 
a material impact on the Company's results of operations.

Business Considerations 

The Company believes that an imbalance between the supply and demand for
property catastrophe reinsurance existed in 1993 and resulted in an increase in
premiums from pre-1993 levels. The Company believes that the numerous and severe
catastrophic events experienced worldwide from 1987 to 1992 resulted in large
losses for reinsurers and led to the withdrawal, in whole or in part, of certain
reinsurers from the property catastrophe market. At the same time, increased
scrutiny of catastrophe exposures and a general increase in insured property
values in catastrophe-exposed areas contributed to increased demand for property
catastrophe insurance and reinsurance. There can be no assurance that the
present level of demand will continue or that the present level of supply of
reinsurance will not increase as a result of increased capital provided by
future market entrants or by existing property catastrophe reinsurers, either of
which factors could materially impact the amount of premiums written by the
Company and have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition
and results of operations.

Investment income
 
Investment income is a function of the composition of the investment portfolio 
and the external interest rate environment. The composition of the investment 
portfolio may change in response to the Company's operations, in particular loss
payments. The external interest rate environment, which is beyond the control of
the Company, can change at any time. Either of these factors alone or in
combination could materially impact the amount of investment income earned by
the Company.

Reliance of Aon and CNA; Transactions with Affiliates; Conflicts of Interest

The majority of the Company's day-to-day operations are performed by affiliates 
of Aon Corporation ("Aon") and CNA Financial Corporation ("CNA") pursuant to 
service agreements. The service agreements generally provide for underwriting, 
actuarial, information technology, financial reporting and investment
management. The service agreements terminate on December 31, 1998 with a two
year extension at the option of the Company. While a number of other
organizations offer the services provided to the Company by affiliates of Aon
and CNA, there can be no assurance that if any of the service agreements were to
terminate, the Company would be able to successfully perform such services for
itself or obtain such services from persons which are not affiliated to CNA and
Aon on substantially similar terms. In particular, the termination of the
Company's underwriting services agreement or administrative services agreement
could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Since inception, CNA has ceded to the Company a portion of its existing book of 
property catastrophe reinsurance business. Such cessions assisted the Company in
establishing a geographic diversification of exposures. If CNA were to suddenly
cease ceding business to the Company, the geographical diversity of the
Company's portfolio of property catastrophe risks and the Company's results of
operations could be materially adversely affected.

================================================================================

Loss Reserves

It is the Company's policy to establish loss expenses incurred with respect to 
business written by it. Loss reserves represent loss estimates derived from 
actuarial and statistical projections of the Company's expectations of ultimate 
loss and loss expenses for incurred losses at a given time. Under GAAP, the 
Company is not permitted to establish loss reserves with respect to its property
catastrophe reinsurance until an event occurs that may give rise to a loss. As a
result, only reserves applicable to losses incurred up to the reporting date may
be set aside, with no allowance for the provision of a contingency reserve to 
account for expected future losses. Reserve estimates by the Company may be 
inherently less reliable than the reserve estimates of reinsurers with stable 
volumes of business and an established loss history. Actual losses and loss 
expenses paid may deviate, perhaps substantially, from the reserve estimates. 
There can be no assurance that actual losses and loss expenses will not deviate 
substantially from the reserves reflected in the Company's financial statements 
or that the final loss settlements will not exceed the Company's loss reserve 
and have a material adverse effect in the Company's financial condition and 
results of operations in a particular period.

Foreign Currency Fluctuations

The Company's financial statements are reported in US dollars. The Company
writes a significant amount of business in currencies other than US dollars and
is exposed to risks relating to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
These risks include exposure to changes in net cash inflows on non-US dollar
denominated insurance premiums and exposure to reinsurance losses denominated in
non-US currencies.  The Company may from time to time experience significant
exchange gains or losses in currencies other than US dollars, which will affect
the Company's results of operations.
