SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION
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 is 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 are 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.

SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION
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 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 generally had 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 were excluded from 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 Statements of Operations for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2004. As a result of the sale, income statement
results for the third quarter and year-to-date 2004 are not comparable to
the corresponding 2003 results.
- - All amounts are in millions, except for per share and ratio information.
- - Certain immaterial differences are due to rounding.

SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION
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.
