All share and per share amounts were adjusted for the April 22, 2002, 3-for-1 stock split.

1) Underwriting margins are calculated as underwriting profit (loss), as defined in Note 9–Segment Information, as a percent of net premiums earned.

2) In 2003, the Company ceased writing business for its lender’s collateral protection program. As a result, underwriting margin is not meaningful (NM) for the Company’s other-indemnity businesses due to the insignificant amount of premiums earned by such businesses after that date.

3) Presented on a diluted basis. In 1997, the Company adopted SFAS 128, “Earnings Per Share,” and, as a result, restated prior periods per share amounts, if applicable
