|(1) | Interest payable is based on interest rates as of
    December 31, 2004 and assumes that all debt remains
    outstanding until its stated contractual maturity. The interest
    rates on outstanding bank debt and trust preferred obligations
    are variable and is equal to three-month LIBOR plus an
    applicable predetermined margin.

|(2) | Represents balances due for goods and/or services which have
    been contractually committed as of December 31, 2004. To
    the extent contracts provide for early termination with notice
    but without penalty, only the amounts contractually due during
    the notice period have been included.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
|   
|(3) | Losses and claims include case reserves for reported claims and
    reserves for claims incurred but not reported
    (IBNR). While payments due on claim reserves are
    considered contractual obligations because they relate to
    insurance policies issued by the Company, the ultimate amount to
    be paid to settle both case reserves and IBNR is an estimate,
    subject to significant uncertainty. The actual amount to be paid
    is not determined until the Company reaches a settlement with
    any applicable claimant. Final claim settlements may vary
    significantly from the present estimates, particularly since
    many claims will not be settled until well into the future. In
    estimating the timing of future payments by year, the Company
    has assumed that its historical payment patterns will continue.
    However, the actual timing of future payments will likely vary
    materially from these estimates due to, among other things,
    changes in claim reporting and payment patterns and large
    unanticipated settlements. Amounts reflected do not consider
    reinsurance amounts which may also be recoverable based on the
    level of ultimate sustained loss.
|   
|(4) | Future policy benefits relate to life insurance policies on
    which the Company is not currently making payments and will not
    make future payments until the occurrence of an insurable event,
    such as a death or disability, or the occurrence of a payment
    triggering event, such as a surrender of a policy. Occurrence of
    any of these events is outside the control of the Company and
    the payment estimates are based on significant uncertainties
    such as mortality, morbidity, expenses, persistency, investment
    returns, inflation and the timing of payments. For regulatory
    purposes, the Company does perform cash flow modeling of such
    liabilities, which is the basis for the indicated disclosure;
    however, due to the significance of the assumptions used, the
    amount presented could materially differ from actual results.

|(5) | Unearned premiums represent future revenue for the Company;

| | already been incurred and paid and are included in deferred
    acquisition costs; however, future losses related to the
    unearned premium have not been recorded. The contractual
    obligations related to unearned premium reflected in the table
    represent the average loss ratio applied to the year end
    unearned premium balances, with loss payments projected in
    comparable proportions to the year end loss and claims reserves.
    Projecting future losses is subject to significant uncertainties
    and the projected payments will most likely vary materially from
    these estimates as a result of differences in future severity,
    frequency and other anticipated and unanticipated factors.
    Amounts reflected do not take into account reinsurance amounts
    which may be recoverable based on the level of ultimate
    sustained loss.

|(1) | For each of the respective debentures, the Company has the right
    at any time, and from time to time, to defer payments of
    interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures for a period not
    exceeding 20 consecutive quarters up to the debentures
    maturity date. During any such period, interest will continue to
    accrue and the Company may not declare or pay any cash dividends
    or distributions on, or purchase, the Companys common
    stock nor make any principal, interest or premium payments on or
    repurchase any debt securities that rank equally with or junior
    to the Junior Subordinated Debentures. The Company will have the
    right at any time to dissolve the Trust and cause the Junior
    Subordinated Debentures to be distributed to the holders of the
    Trust Preferred Securities.

    and subordinate in right of payment to all senior debt of the

|(1) | Under the terms of its tax-sharing agreement with its
    subsidiaries, income tax provisions for the individual companies
    are computed on a separate company basis. Accordingly, the
    Companys income tax benefit results from the utilization
    of the parent company separate return loss to reduce the
    consolidated taxable income of the Company and its subsidiaries.
