All forward-looking statements address matters that involve risks and uncertainties.

| Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures |
| In presenting the Company’s results herein, management has included and discussed underwriting income, operating income, and diluted book value per share that are not calculated under standards or rules that comprise U.S. GAAP. Such measures are referred to as non-GAAP. Non-GAAP measures may be defined or calculated differently by other companies. We believe that these measures are important to investors and other interested parties. These measures should not be viewed as a substitute for those determinedinaccordance with U.S. GAAP. |
| The underwriting results of an insurance or reinsurance company are often measured by reference to its underwriting income because underwriting income indicates the performance of the company’s core underwriting function. Underwriting income is reconciled to net income by the addition or subtraction of net investment income (loss), financing expenses, fair value of warrants issued, net realized gains (losses) on investments and foreign exchange gains (losses). |
| Net operating income is calculated based on net income (loss) excluding net realized gains (losses), net unrealized gains (losses) on investments, gains (losses) arising from translation of non-U.S.$ denominated balances and non-recurring items. Net operating income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure as it focuses on the underlying fundamentals of our operations without the influence of realized gains (losses) from the sale of investments, translation of non-U.S.$ currencies and non-recurring items. Realized gains (losses) from the sale of investments are driven by the timing of the disposition of investments, not by our operating performance. Gains (losses) arising from translation of non-U.S.$ denominated balances are unrelated to our underlying business. |
| Diluted book value per share is calculated based on total shareholders’ equity plus the assumed proceeds from the exercise ofoutstanding options and warrants, divided by the sum of shares, options, warrants and share equivalents outstanding (assumingtheir exercise). |
| A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures detailed herein to the most comparable GAAP measure can be found at the end of this presentation. |

| Net loss estimates are before income tax, net of reinstatement premiums, and net of reinsurance and retrocessional recoveries. The estimates set forth above are based on assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual losses and could cause actual losses to differ materially from those expressed above. In particular, modeled loss estimates do not necessarily accurately predict actual losses, and may significantly mis-estimate actual losses. Such estimates, therefore, should not be considered as a representation of actual losses. |
| The Company has developed the estimates of losses expected from certain catastrophes for its portfolio of property, marine, workers’ compensation, and catastrophe models such as RMS, AIR and EQECAT, which are applied and adjusted by the Company. These estimates include assumptions regarding the location, size and magnitude of an event, the frequency of events, the construction type and damageability of property in a zone, policy terms and conditions and the cost of rebuilding property in a zone, among other assumptions. These assumptions will evolve following any actual event. Accordingly, if the estimates and assumptions that are entered into the risk model are |
| incorrect, or if the risk model proves to be an inaccurate forecasting tool, the losses the Company might incur from an actual catastrophe could be materially higher than its expectation of losses generated from modeled catastrophe scenarios. In addition, many risks such as second-event covers, aggregate excess of loss, or attritional loss components cannot be fully evaluated using the vendor models. Further, the Company cannot assure that such third party models are free of defects in the modeling logic or in the software code. |
| Investors should not rely on the information set forth in this presentation when considering investment in the Company. The information contained in this presentation has not been audited nor has it been subject to independent verification. accident The estimates contracts set forth above speakusing only as of the commercially date of this presentation and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise such information to reflect the occurrence of future events, including, but not limited to, the composition of the Company’s business. The events presented reflect a specific set of proscribed calculations and do not necessarily reflect all events that may impact the Company. |

| The company has presented The Company Realistic Disaster Scenarios for non-natural catastrophe events. Twice yearly, Lloyds syndicates including the Company’s Talbot syndicate 1183 are required to provide details of their potential exposures to specific disaster scenarios and therefore the estimated exposures will be updated as of July 1, 2009 and included in the June 30 supplement. Lloyd’s makes its updated realistic disaster scenarios (RDS) guidance available to the market annually. The RDS scenarios specification document 2009 can be accessed at the RDS part of the Lloyd’s public website: http://www.lloyds.com/lloyds_market/tools_and_reference/exposure_management/realistic_disaster_scena rios/ |
| Modeling catastrophe threat scenarios is a complex exercise involving numerous variables, and is inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual losses and could cause actual losses incurred by the Company to differ materially from those expressed above. Should an event occur, the modeled outcomes may prove inadequate, possible materially so. This may occur for a number of reasons including, legal requirements, model deficiency, non-modeled risks or data inaccuracies. |
| A modeled outcome of net loss from a single event also relies in significant part on the reinsurance and retrocession arrangements in place, or expected to be in place at the time of the analysis, and may change during the year. Modeled outcomes assume that the reinsurance and retrocession in place responds as expected with minimal reinsurance failure or dispute. Reinsurance is purchased to match the original exposure as far as possible, but it is possible for there to be a mismatch or gap in cover which could result in higher than modeled losses to the Company. In addition, many parts of the reinsurance program are purchased with limited reinstatements and, therefore, the number of claims or events which may be recovered from second or subsequent events is limited. It should also be noted that renewal dates of the reinsurance program do not necessarily coincide with those of the inwards business written. Where original business is not protected by risks attaching reinsurance or retrocession programs, the programs could expire resulting in an increase in the possible net loss retained by the Company. |
| Investors should not rely on the information set forth in this presentation when considering investment in the Company. The information contained in this presentation has not been audited nor has it been subject to independent verification. The estimates set forth above speak only as of the date of this presentation and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise such information to reflect the occurrence of future events.
