2008 Guidance

As of October 30, 2008

Based on nine month actual results and lower expected investment income in the fourth quarter, we are adjusting our earnings guidance range to $1.75 to $1.85 from $2.00 to $2.20.  Our assumptions for full year 2008 are:

· A statutory combined ratio under 100%;

· A GAAP combined ratio of approximately 101%; and

· Diluted weighted average shares of approximately 53 million.

For the fourth quarter, we make the following assumptions:

· After-tax catastrophe losses of $3 million, or $0.06 per share;

· After-tax investment income decrease between 10% to 15%; and

· Diversified Insurance Services revenue decrease of 1% and return on revenue of approximately 10%.
