DEFINITIONS AND PRESENTATION

- -        P&C OPERATIONS includes Standard Lines and Specialty Lines.

- -        LIFE & GROUP NON-CORE segment primarily includes the results of the
         life and group lines of business that are held for sale, or have been
         sold or placed in run-off.

- -        CORPORATE & OTHER NON-CORE segment includes the results of certain
         property and casualty lines of business placed in run-off, including
         CNA Re (formerly a stand-alone property and casualty segment). This
         segment also includes the results related to the centralized adjusting
         and settlement of APMT claims.

- -        P&C COMPANIES includes Standard Lines, Specialty Lines and P&C business
         written in the Life & Group Non-Core and Corporate & Other Non-Core
         segments.

- -        Underwriting results are net earned premiums less net incurred claims,
         the costs incurred to settle claims, acquisition expenses and
         underwriting expenses.

- -        The Loss & LAE ratio represents claim and claim adjustment expenses as
         a percentage of net earned premiums.

- -        The expense ratio is the percentage of underwriting expenses,
         acquisition expenses and dividends, including the amortization of
         deferred acquisition costs, to net earned premiums.

- -        The dividend ratio is the ratio of dividends incurred to net earned
         premiums.

- -        Limited partnerships (LPs) are a relatively small portion of CNA's
         overall investment portfolio. The majority of the LPs invest in a
         substantial number of securities that are readily marketable. CNA is a
         passive investor in such partnerships and does not have influence over
         the partnerships' management, who are committed to operate them
         according to established guidelines and strategies. These strategies
         may include the use of leverage and hedging techniques that potentially
         introduce more volatility and risk to the partnerships.

- -        All amounts are in millions, except for per share and ratio
         information.

- -        Certain immaterial differences are due to rounding.

                                                                               i

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This financial supplement appendix presents certain GAAP and non-GAAP financial
measures to provide information used by management to monitor the Company's
operating performance. Management utilizes various financial measures to monitor
the Company's insurance operations and investment portfolio. Underwriting
results, which are derived from certain income statement amounts, are considered
non-GAAP financial measures and are used by management to monitor performance of
the Company's insurance operations. The Company's investment portfolio is
monitored through analysis of various quantitative and qualitative factors, and
certain decisions related to the sale or impairment of investments produce
realized gains and losses. Net realized investment gains and losses, which are
comprised of after-tax realized investment gains and losses net of participating
policyholders' and minority interest, are a non-GAAP financial measure.

Underwriting results are computed as net earned premiums less net incurred
claims and the cost incurred to settle these claims, acquisition expenses and
underwriting expenses. Management uses underwriting results and operating ratios
to monitor insurance operations' results without the impact of certain factors,
including investment income, other revenues, other expenses, minority interest,
income tax benefit (expense) and net realized investment gains (losses).
Management excludes these factors in order to analyze the direct relationship
between the net earned premiums and the related claims and the cost incurred to
settle these claims, acquisition expenses and underwriting expenses.

Management excludes after-tax net realized investment gains or losses when
analyzing the insurance operations because net realized investment gains or
losses related to the Company's available-for-sale investment portfolio are
largely discretionary, except for losses related to other-than-temporary
impairments, and are generally driven by economic factors that are not
necessarily consistent with key drivers of underwriting performance.

Operating ratios are calculated using insurance results and are used by the
insurance industry and regulators such as state departments of insurance and the
National Association of Insurance Commissioners for financial regulation and as
a basis of comparison among companies. The ratios presented in this financial
supplement appendix are calculated using GAAP financial results and include the
loss and loss adjustment expense ratio (loss ratio) as well as the expense,
dividend and combined ratios. The loss ratio is the percentage of net incurred
claim and claim adjustment expenses to net earned premiums. The expense ratio is
the percentage of underwriting and acquisition expenses, including the
amortization of deferred acquisition costs, to net earned premiums. The dividend
ratio is the ratio of dividends incurred to net earned premiums. The combined
ratio is the sum of the loss, expense and dividend ratios.

The Company's investment portfolio is monitored by management through analyses
of various factors including unrealized gains and losses on securities,
portfolio duration and exposure to interest rate, market and credit risk. Based
on such analyses, the Company may impair an investment security in accordance
with its policy, or sell a security. Such activities will produce realized gains
and losses.

While management uses various non-GAAP financial measures to monitor various
aspects of the Company's performance, relying on any measure other than net
income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to underwriting
results and realized gains and losses, is not a complete representation of
financial performance. Management believes that its process of evaluating
performance through the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides a
basis for understanding the operations and the impact to net income as a whole.
Management also believes that investors find these non-GAAP financial measures
described above useful to help interpret the underlying trends and performance,
as well as to provide visibility into the significant components of net income.

                                                                              ii
