SEGMENT CHANGES

In the first quarter of 2004, CNA revised its reportable segment structure to
reflect changes in how it manages its core operations and makes business
decisions. CNA now manages its Property & Casualty Operations in two operating
segments which represent CNA's core operations: Standard Lines and Specialty
Lines. The non-core operations are now managed in the Life & Group Non-Core and
Corporate & Other Non-Core segments. Standard Lines includes standard property
and casualty coverages sold to small and middle market commercial businesses
primarily through an independent agency distribution system, and excess and
surplus lines, as well as insurance and risk management products sold to large
corporations. Specialty Lines provides a broad array of professional, financial
and specialty property and casualty products and services. Life & Group Non-Core
primarily includes the results of the life and group lines of business that have
been sold or placed in run-off. The Group Benefits business was sold on December
31, 2003 and the Individual Life business was sold on April 30, 2004. Corporate
& Other Non-Core contains certain corporate expenses such as interest on
corporate debt and losses and expenses related to the centralized adjusting and
settlement of asbestos, environmental pollution and mass tort (APMT) claims. In
addition, this segment includes the results of certain property and casualty
insurance run-off operations including CNA Re (formerly a stand-alone property
and casualty operating segment). Prior period segment disclosures have been
conformed to the current year presentation. These segment disclosures, provided
in the Supplemental Financial Information Appendix, are available on the
company's website, for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003, including all
quarters.

The changes made to CNA's reportable segments were as follows:

- -     CNA Global which consists of marine and global standard lines is now
      included in Standard Lines (formerly included in Specialty Lines).

- -     CNA Guaranty and Credit is currently in run-off and is now included in the
      Corporate & Other Non-Core segment (formerly included in Specialty Lines).

- -     CNA Re is currently in run-off and is also now included in the Corporate &
      Other Non-Core segment (CNA Re was formerly a stand-alone property and
      casualty operating segment).

- -     Group Operations & Life Operations (formerly separate operating segments)
      have now been combined into one reportable segment where the run-off of
      the retained group and life products will be managed.

- -     Certain run-off life and group operations previously included in the
      Corporate & Other Non-Core segment are now included in the Life & Group
      Non-Core segment.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

- -     In July of 2003, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee (AcSEC) of
      the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) issued
      Statement of Position 03-01, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance
      Enterprises for Certain Nontraditional Long-Duration Contracts and for
      Separate Accounts (SOP 03-01). SOP 03-01 provides guidance on accounting
      and reporting by insurance enterprises for certain nontraditional
      long-duration contracts and for separate accounts. SOP 03-01 is effective
      for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
      2003. SOP 03-01 may not be applied retroactively to prior years' financial
      statements, and initial application should be as of the beginning of an
      entity's fiscal year, therefore prior year amounts have not been conformed
      to the current year presentation.

      CNA adopted SOP 03-01 as of January 1, 2004. The assets and liabilities of
      certain guaranteed investment contracts and indexed group annuity
      contracts that were previously segregated and reported as separate
      accounts no longer qualify for separate account presentation. Prior to the
      adoption of SOP 03-01, the asset and liability presentation of these
      affected contracts were categorized as separate account assets and
      liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The results of
      operations from separate account business were primarily classified as
      other revenue in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. In accordance
      with the provisions of SOP 03-01, the classification and presentation of
      certain balance sheet and income statement items have been modified within
      these financial statements. Accordingly, the investment securities
      previously classified as separate account assets have now been
      reclassified to the general account and will be reported based on their
      investment classification whether available-for-sale or trading
      securities. The investment portfolio for the indexed group annuity
      contracts is classified as held for trading purposes and is carried at
      fair value, with both the net realized and unrealized gains (losses)
      included within net investment income in the Condensed Consolidated
      Statement of Operations.

      CNA continues to have contracts that meet the criteria for separate
      account presentation. The assets and liabilities of these contracts are
      legally segregated and reported as assets and liabilities of the separate
      account business. Substantially all assets of the separate account
      business are carried at fair value. Separate account liabilities are
      carried at contract values.

                                                                               i

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 & loss adjustment expense (LAE) ratio represents claim and claim
      adjustment expenses, including the expenses incurred related to
      uncollectible reinsurance, as a percentage of net earned premiums. In the
      second quarter of 2004, the expenses incurred related to uncollectible
      reinsurance receivables were reclassified from "Other operating expenses"
      to "Insurance claims and policyholders' benefits" on the Statements of
      Operations. Prior period amounts and ratios have been reclassified to
      conform to the current year presentation. This reclassification had no
      impact on net income (loss) or the combined ratios in any period; however,
      this change will generally have an unfavorable impact on the loss & loss
      adjustment expense ratios and a favorable impact on the the expense
      ratios.

- -     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.

- -     As a result of the sale of the Group Benefits business on December 31,
      2003, income statement results for 2004 are not comparable to 2003.

- -     On April 30, 2004, CNA completed the sale of its individual life insurance
      business. The business sold included term, universal and permanent life
      insurance policies and individual annuity products. CNA's individual long
      term care and structured settlement businesses are excluded from the sale.
      Additionally, the Nashville, Tennessee insurance servicing and
      administration building was transferred as part of the sale. Consideration
      from the sale was approximately $700 million, resulting in an after-tax
      realized investment loss on the sale of $389 million. The results of the
      business sold through the sale date are included in the statement of
      operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004. As a result
      of the sale, income statement results for the second quarter of 2004 are
      not comparable to the corresponding 2003 results.

- -     CNA has initiated a plan to sell CNA Trust, its limited operations bank
      located in Costa Mesa, California. As a result, CNA has classified the
      assets and liabilities of its limited operations bank as held for sale at
      June 30, 2004. The estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities
      exceeds their carrying value; therefore, the gain from the sale will be
      recorded at closing.

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

- -     Certain immaterial differences are due to rounding.

                                                                              ii

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This financial supplement 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 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.

                                                                             iii

(1)   Retained life and group businesses principally include group and
      individual long term care, structured settlements, institutional markets
      and specialty medical.

(2)   For the three months ended June 30, 2004, net realized investment losses
      for Life & Group Non-Core businesses sold/to be sold include a pretax loss
      of $53 million ($17 million gain after-tax), related to the individual
      life business. The disproportionate tax provision, on the loss related to
      the life sale for the three months ended June 30, 2004, arises from a
      change in estimate related to the estimated tax benefit recorded at March
      31, 2004. The change in estimate is due to the completion of a formal
      study of the outside tax basis of Valley Forge Life Insurance Company. The
      total loss related to the life sale was $622 million pretax ($389 million
      after-tax), as reflected in the Life & Group Non-Core results for the six
      months ended June 30, 2004.

(3)   Life and group businesses sold/to be sold include group business,
      individual life business and CNA Trust. Included in this column are the
      effects of shared corporate overhead expenses which continue to be
      allocated to the sold businesses.
