Expense Reclassification
 During the first quarter of 2010, the Company made certain reclassifications to the expense
 classifications on the Consolidated Statement of Income. These reclassifications were made to
 enable the user of the financial statements to calculate the GAAP combined ratio directly from
 the Consolidated Statement of Income. As a result, the Consolidated Statement of Income for
 the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 has been reclassified to conform to this revised
 presentation. These reclassifications do not change total expenses or consolidated net income
 as originally reported for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009. Please refer to Form 8-
 k filed on May 3, 2010 for further detail. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, this
 refinement resulted in a 1.7 percentage point increase in the expense ratio, a 1.0 percentage
 point decrease in the loss and LAE ratio and a decrease of $4.9 million in general selling and
 administrative costs.

Full Year 2010 v. 2009 Comparison
(in thousands, except ratios)
Underwriting and Investing
 Activities
  Top line premium growth driven
 primarily by new initiatives that were
 launched in the second half of 2009
  Growth in net investment income
 reflects 11.6% growth in average
 invested assets, off-set by a
 prolonged low reinvestment rate
 environment in 2010
  See slide 5/ for combined ratio
 analysis
Net Commissions & Fees
  Decline in fee and commission
 revenue is driven by continued soft
 market and conversion of USSU to
 our paper in Q4 2010
  After the cost refinement reduction of
 $4.9 million, the remaining decrease
 in general selling and administrative
 expense reflects our ability to
 leverage fixed costs
Other Expenses
  Reduction in other expenses driven
 by lower outstanding debt balance
 and reduction of scheduled
 amortization

Loss and LAE Ratio
  The 2010 loss ratio includes 4.7 points of favorable
 development compared to 5.3 points of favorable
 development in 2009
  The 2010 loss ratio includes the 1.0 point reduction
 to ULAE due to the refinement of the allocation
 process for administrative expenses and claims
 handling expenses
  Excluding the 1.0 point reduction to ULAE, the
 2010 loss and LAE ratio is slightly higher than 2009
 due to higher incurred losses in short tail lines in
 2010
Expense Ratio
  The 2010 expense ratio increase reflects an
 increase in external expenses, including higher
 commissions paid to agents for performing certain
 policy processing activities
  We refined our allocation process between
 administrative expense and claims handling and
 general selling and administrative expenses, which
 resulted in a 1.7 point increase in the expense
 ratio.
  Otherwise, 2010 internal expenses are slightly
 down from 2009 as we leverage fixed costs
(in thousands, except ratios)
