RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES AND PREFERRED SHARE DIVIDENDS
 
 
The following table sets forth our consolidated ratios:
 
 
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010
(2)
 
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009
(2)
Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges (1)
5.46
 
43.44
 
(1) The ratio of earnings to fixed charges was determined by dividing consolidated earnings by total fixed charges. For purposes of the ratios of earnings to fixed charges (i) earnings consist of consolidated net income before considering income taxes, minority interest and fixed charges and (ii) fixed charges consist of interest on indebtedness, interest expense on funds withheld from reinsurers and that portion of rent expense that is deemed by our management to be an appropriate interest factor. We have estimated that one-third of rent expense represents a reasonable approximation of the interest factor.
 
(2) No preferred shares were outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, and no preferred share dividends were paid during those periods.
