(1) | Consistent with GAAP, premiums collected on universal life and investment contracts are considered deposits and excluded from revenues. For the quarters ended June 30, 2009, March 31, 2009, December 31, 2008, September 30, 2008, and June 30, 2008, premiums or deposits collected on investment and universal life contracts that are excluded from premium revenue above are $100.1 million, $95.5 million, $29.2 million, $18.8 million, and $30.9 million, respectively. Fees on universal life and investment contracts are revenue for GAAP and have been classified as premium. For the quarters ended June 30, 2009, March 31, 2009, December 31, 2008, September 30, 2008, and June 30, 2008, fees reflected as gross written premiums are $7.7 million, $7.1 million, $5.6 million, $4.5 million, and $4.9 million, respectively. |

Amounts represent accrued past premium received and claims paid by quarter, split by benefit type.
Death Benefits (GMDB)
Premiums and claims from VA contracts reinsuring Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefits (GMDB).
Using our current mortality assumptions we expect approximately $166 million of claims and $93 million of premium on death benefits over the next 12 months.
Living Benefits (Includes GMIB and GMAB)
Premiums and claims from VA contracts reinsuring Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefits (GMIB) and Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefits (GMAB), collectively known as Living Benefits.
Using our current assumptions we expect approximately $3 million of claims and $150 million of premium on living benefits over the next 12 months.

Mortgage-backed and Asset-backed Fixed Income Portfolio
Market Value at June 30, 2009
Mortgage-backed securities total $11.1 billion, are rated predominantly AAA and comprise 27% of the fixed income portfolio. This compares to a 45% mortgage-backed weighting in representative indices of the U.S. fixed income market. The minimum rating for initial purchases of mortgage and asset backed securities is AAA.
ACE suspended new investments in sub-prime backed securities in 3Q 2007 and ALT-A, credit card, and auto backed securities in 1Q 2008 and suspended new investments in CMBS in Q1 2009.
Securities issued by Federal agencies with implied or explicit government guarantees total $7.4 billion and represent 83% of the residential mortgage-backed portfolio.
Non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities are rated investment grade, backed by prime collateral, and broadly diversified in over 280,000 loans. The portfolio’s loan-to-value ratio is approximately 69% with an average FICO score of 733. With this conservative loan-to-value ratio and subordinated collateral of 12%, the cumulative 5-year foreclosure rate would have to rise to 18% and real estate values would have to fall 31% from their current levels before principal is impaired. The comparable historical cumulative foreclosure rate is 6% for prime mortgages.
Within the portfolio of prime non-agency RMBS are $146 million of holdings classified as ALT-A. These ALT-A holdings are broadly diversified with over 70% issued prior to 2006. The average FICO score is 715 with a relatively conservative loan-to-value ratio of 69%. With subordinated collateral of 19%, the cumulative 5-year foreclosure rate would have to rise to 29% and real estate values would have to fall more than 31% from their current levels before principal is impaired. The comparable historical cumulative foreclosure rate is approximately 10%.
Commercial mortgage-backed securities of $2.2 billion are rated predominantly AAA, broadly diversified with over 25,500 loans and seasoned with 71% of the portfolio issued before 2006. The average loan-to-value ratio is approximately 63% with a debt service coverage ratio in excess of 1.7 and weighted average subordinated collateral of 27%. The cumulative foreclosure rate would have to rise to 62% and commercial real estate values would have to fall more than 64% from their current levels before principal is impaired. The historical annual delinquency rate is 2%.
Sub-prime asset-backed securities (current holdings of $55 million) are rated predominantly investment grade, broadly diversified in over 100,000 loans with an average loan-to-value ratio of approximately 81% and an average FICO score of 604. With subordinated collateral of 30%, the cumulative 5-year foreclosure rate would have to rise to 45% and real estate values would have to fall more than 19% from their current levels before principal is impaired. The comparable historical cumulative 5-year foreclosure rate is 32%.
Auto loan asset-backed securities are rated predominantly AAA with a short duration of approximately 0.6 years and average subordinated collateral of 17%. Annual default rates would have to rise to 15 times their current level of about 2.4% before principal is impaired.

ACE manages high yield bonds as a distinct and separate asset class from investment grade bonds. ACE’s allocation to high yield bonds is explicitly set by internal management and is targeted to securities in the upper tier of credit quality (BB/B). Our minimum rating for initial purchase is BB/B.
Four external investment managers are responsible for high yield security selection and portfolio construction.
ACE’s high yield managers have a conservative approach to credit selection and very low historical default experience.
Securities holdings are highly diversified across industries and are subject to a 1.5% issuer limit as a percentage of high yield allocation (or 0.1% of total portfolio). The portfolio is comprised of over 500 issuers with our largest current issuer exposure at $65 million. ACE monitors position limits on a daily basis through an internal compliance system.
Derivative and structured securities (e.g. credit default swaps, CLOs) are not permitted in high yield portfolios.

FSP EITF 03-6-1 provides additional guidance in the calculation of earnings per share under FAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share, and requires unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) to be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. |

Regulation G - Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In presenting our results, we have included and discussed certain non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures, which may be defined differently by other companies, are important for an understanding of our overall results of operations. However, they should not be viewed as a substitute for measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). A reconciliation of book value per share is provided on page 31.
In presenting our segment operating results, we have shown our performance with reference to underwriting results. Underwriting results are calculated by subtracting losses and loss expenses, policy benefits, policy acquisition costs, and administrative expenses from net premiums earned. We use underwriting results and operating ratios to monitor the results of our operations without the impact of certain factors, including investment income, other income and expenses, interest and income tax expense, and net realized gains (losses).
The following non-GAAP measure is a common performance measurement and is defined as income excluding net realized gains (losses) and the related tax expense (benefit). We believe this presentation enhances the understanding of our results of operations by highlighting the underlying profitability of our insurance business. We exclude net realized gains (losses) and net realized gains (losses) included in other income (expense) related to partially owned insurance companies because the amount of these gains (losses) is heavily influenced by, and fluctuates in part according to, the availability of market opportunities. Income excluding net realized gains (losses) should not be viewed as a substitute for net income determined in accordance with GAAP.
