The information in this Form 8-K and the Exhibits attached hereto shall not
be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of

the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by
specific reference in such a filing.
Certain statements included in the press release and the conference call
transcript that are not strictly historical may be "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of the federal securities laws. The management of the Company
cautions that forward-looking statements are not guarantees, and that actual
results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in the
forward-looking statements. Important events that could cause the actual results
of operations or financial condition of the Company to differ include, but are
not necessarily limited to, the Company's ability to attract clients and
generate business; the competitive environment; the Company's ability to
underwrite business; performance of outside service providers; mortality risk;
surrender risk; investment risk (including asset value risk, reinvestment risk
and disintermediation risk); the impact of unforeseen economic changes (such as
changes in interest rates, currency exchange rate, inflation rates, recession
and other external economic factors); the impact of terrorist activities on the
economy, the insurance and related industries in general and the Company in
particular; regulatory changes (such as changes in U.S. tax law and insurance
regulation which directly affect the competitive environment for the company's
products); rating agency policies and practices; and loss of key executives.
Investors are also directed to consider the risks and uncertainties discussed in
documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
