Item 7.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Investments – (Continued) Valuation and Impairment of Investments The following table details the carrying value of CNA’s general account investment portfolios:
## Table 0 ##
CNA’s general account investment portfolio consists primarily of publicly traded government bonds, assetbacked securities, short-term investments, municipal bonds and corporate bonds.
A significant judgment in the valuation of investments is the determination of when an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred.
CNA analyzes securities on at least a quarterly basis.
Part of this analysis is to monitor the length of time and severity of the decline below book value for those securities in an unrealized loss position.
Information on CNA’s impairment process and impairments recorded in 2005, 2004 and 2003 is set forth in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included under Item 8.
Investments in the general account had a total net unrealized gain of $787.0 million at December 31, 2005 compared with $1,197.0 million at December 31, 2004.
The unrealized position at December 31, 2005 was comprised of a net unrealized gain of $618.0 million for fixed maturities, a net unrealized gain of $170.0 million for equity securities, and a net unrealized loss of $1.0 million for short-term securities.
The unrealized position at December 31, 2004 was comprised of a net unrealized gain of $1,061.0 million for fixed maturities and a net

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations – CNA Financial – (Continued) professional liability.
Corporate catastrophe reinsurance is also purchased for property and workers compensation exposure.
Most reinsurance contracts are purchased on an excess of loss basis.
CNA also utilizes facultative reinsurance in certain lines.
In addition, CNA assumes reinsurance as members of various reinsurance pools and associations.
The following table summarizes the amounts receivable from reinsurers at December 31, 2005 and 2004.
## Table 1 ##
CNA attempts to mitigate its credit risk related to reinsurance by entering into reinsurance arrangements with reinsurers that have credit ratings above certain levels and by obtaining substantial amounts of collateral.
The primary methods of obtaining collateral are through reinsurance trusts, letters of credit and funds withheld balances.
Such collateral was approximately $4,277.0 million and $6,231.0 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004.
In addition, CNA may enter into reinsurance agreements with reinsurers that are not rated.
During 2005, CNA sustained catastrophe losses related to Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma.
CNA ceded $429.0 million of these losses to its corporate catastrophe programs.
This reinsurance protection cost CNA premiums of approximately $64.0 million, which included reinstatement premiums of approximately $27.0 million.
The cost of CNA’s 2006 corporate catastrophe reinsurance programs will be approximately $82.0 million before the impacts of any reinstatement premiums.
The terms of CNA’s 2006 programs are different than those of its 2005 programs.
The Corporate Property Catastrophe treaty provides coverage for the accumulation of losses between $200.0 million and $700.0 million arising out of a single catastrophe occurrence in the United States, its territories and possessions, and Canada.
CNA’s co-participation is 25.0% of the first $125.0 million layer and 10.0% in all remaining layers.
CNA’s Marine treaty provides $65.0 million of protection above a $20.0 million retention on the accumulation of losses arising out of a single catastrophe occurrence.
In addition to these reinsurance treaties, CNA’s exposure to aggregation of certain catastrophe events is further mitigated by an Aggregate Property Catastrophe treaty.
The Aggregate Property Catastrophe treaty covers 95% of $150.0 million of losses above a retention of $125.0 million from named earthquake or wind storm catastrophes in the United States, its territories and possessions, and Canada, which exceed $35.0 million.
For any single event, the maximum that can be applied to CNA’s retention or recovered under the treaty is $75.0 million.
CNA’s overall ceded reinsurance program includes certain finite property and casualty contracts that are entered into and accounted for on a funds withheld basis.
Under the funds withheld basis, CNA records the cash remitted to the reinsurer for the reinsurer’s margin, or cost of the reinsurance contract, as ceded premiums.
The remainder of the premiums ceded under the reinsurance contract not remitted in cash is recorded as funds withheld liabilities.
CNA is required to increase the funds withheld balance at stated interest crediting rates applied to the funds withheld balance or as otherwise specified under the terms of the contract.
The funds withheld liability is reduced by any cumulative claim payments made by CNA in excess of its retention under the reinsurance contract.
If the funds withheld liability is exhausted, interest crediting will cease and additional claim payments are recoverable from the reinsurer.
The significant commuted contracts resulted in an unfavorable impact of $236.4 million after tax and minority interest in 2005, a favorable impact of $16.4 million after tax and minority interest in 2004 and an unfavorable impact of $64.0 million after tax and minority interest in 2003.
During 2005, CNA commuted several of these contracts and as a result, there will be no further interest crediting on these contracts in future periods.
