Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
June 30, 2000
1. Basis of presentation
Accounting Principles - The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP") for and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The
results for the period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the entire year.
The comparative consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1999 has been
derived from the audited consolidated financial statements for the period ended
December 31, 1999.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the period ended
December 31, 1999.
We have reclassified some figures from our 1999 financial statements to conform
with our 2000 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income
or shareholders'equity as previously reported.
2. Minority Interest
During the quarter, we acquired a majority holding in Scottish Crown Group
(Bermuda) Ltd. No amount of the resulting minority interest is held in preferred
shares and therefore, we have no dividend requirement in relation to this
minority interest.

June 30, 2000 (continued)
3. Earnings per ordinary share
Basic earnings per share ("EPS") excludes the dilutive effect of options and
warrants. Diluted EPS includes the dilutive effect of these securities using
the treasury stock method. The weighted-average number of shares is calculated
by weighting how long the shares have been outstanding over the accounting
period.
The dilutive impact of our warrants and options is not material and therefore,
has no effect on EPS.

Overview
Three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to the three months ended June 30,
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1999
- ----
Our net income for the second quarter of $2,380,331 or $0.15 per share was
driven by revenues from our investment portfolio, reinsurance operations, and
insurance administration fees. Net income, when compared to the second quarter
of the prior year, changed primarily due to the following factors: (1) Net
premiums and reinsurance fees increased from $0 to approximately $3.6 million as
a result of new reinsurance transactions, (2) Net investment income increased
from approximately $4.1 million to $11.3 million as a result of invested assets
from reinsurance growing from $0 to over $450 million, (3) Net realized losses
on securities in the second quarter of 1999 of approximately $519,000 were
primarily due to portfolio restructuring, whereas no restructuring was done in
the second quarter of 2000, (4) Insurance administration and variable life fees
increased from approximately $250,000 to $540,000 due primarily to increases in
variable account balances and the purchase of Scottish Annuity, resulting in
100% of the fee income reverting to us, (5) Claims and other policy benefits
were approximately $320,000 in the first quarter 1999 and approximately $7.4
million in the second quarter 2000 as a result of new reinsurance treaties, (6)
Acquisition costs and other insurance expenses increased from approximately
$734,000 to $3.1 million and operating expenses increased from approximately
$612,000 to $3.0 million as a result of increased reinsurance activity and the
implementation of our U.S. reinsurance operations through Scottish Re. Of these
expenses, $900,000 consisted of non-recurring employee expenses related to four
employees, including severance, recruiting and relocation expenses and (7) As a
result of losses on a tax basis in Scottish Re, the deferred tax asset increased
by approximately $430,000.

Investments
Our investment portfolio is managed by two professional investment managers,
General Re - New England Asset Management, Inc. and Prudential Investment
Corporation. Our investment guidelines are designed to diversify the portfolio
to maximize investment income while minimizing risk. At June 30, 2000, the
portfolio had an average quality rating of AA, an average duration of 2.42 years
and an average book yield of 6.96%. This compares with an average quality rating
of AA, an average duration of 2.98 years and an average book yield of 6.79%
respectively at December 31, 1999. A realized loss of $144,625 and net
unrealized depreciation of $762,839 were recognized on investments during the
first six months. A realized loss of $16,968 and net unrealized depreciation of
$588,266 were recognized on investments during the second quarter.
Insurance Operations
Our business consists of three lines of business: traditional, non-traditional
and variable products. Our results reflected revenues from these lines of
business. Since January 1, 2000, in the non-traditional line, we closed on three
reinsurance transactions, that have generated approximately $100 million of
assumed reserves and are expected to generate an additional $50 million of
assumed reserves by year end 2000. As these transactions represent the
assumption of existing reserves for past sales of the ceding company, we account
for the initial assumption on the balance sheet only. Future operations will
include the renewal premiums, benefits and underwriting expense including the
amortization of the acquisition costs related to the initial assumptions. One
treaty was effective February 15th, the others were effective April 1, 2000. In
the traditional life line in the second quarter, we collected approximately $1.5
million of premium on traditional life reinsurance. As of June 30, 2000 we
reinsure approximately $1 billion of life coverage on 25,000 lives. The average
benefit coverage per life is $40,000 and the maximum retention on any one life
is $1 million. Since the beginning of the second quarter, we have signed 5
binders for traditional life reinsurance. These binders and the closed
transactions are expected to create approximately $10 billion of life
reinsurance volume and $14 million of collected premium during 2000. However, no
assurance can be given that these expectations can be achieved. In the variable
products line, we received $9 million of deposits from variable life sales in
the quarter, and subsequently have received an additional $16 million of
deposits.
In addition, Scottish Insurance entered into a joint venture with Crown Capital
Investors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Crown") to form Scottish
Crown. Scottish Insurance paid $5.25 million for its share of Scottish Crown.
Scottish Crown will provide customized variable life and annuity insurance
products to high net worth individuals and families. Scottish Crown owns two
Bermuda licensed insurance companies, and has a 10 year exclusive distribution
agreement with Crown World Services Ltd., a Bermuda company.

Capital Resources and Liquidity
At June 30, 2000, total capitalization was $218,947,132. We have no material
commitments for capital expenditures and do not anticipate incurring material
indebtedness other than letters of credit or lines of credit, which may be
required in the ordinary course of our reinsurance business.
During the first six months of 2000, we paid a dividend of $0.05 per share, or
$802,337 to shareholders of record as of March 6, 2000, and a dividend of $0.05
per share, or $794,637 to shareholders of record as of June 6, 2000.
Through June 30, 2000 we repurchased 243,400 shares for $2,026,204 (average
price of $8.33 per share), and through August 10, 2000 we have repurchased an
additional 51,600 shares, resulting in an aggregate repurchase to date of
295,000 shares for $2,487,462 (average price of $8.43 per share) under a program
authorized by the Board on April 6, 2000 to repurchase up to $20 million of
outstanding shares.
We expect that our cash and investments, together with cash generated from our
businesses, will provide sufficient sources of liquidity and capital to meet our
needs for the next several years. In addition, we have access to a combined $70
million through available lines and letters of credit, of which approximately
$15.5 million is currently being utilized under a letter of credit in support of
our non-traditional reinsurance business.
