1 EXHIBIT 17(b)(2) 1996 BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS 1995 is on budget in total revenue and ahead of budget in total net income. The premium revenue is providing most of the increase from 1994, but a rebound in interest rates and the resurgent investment market has allowed more income to reach the bottom line in the form of investment income and capital gains. Our expenses are at budget, and the underwriting results have continued to develop per plan for both discontinued programs and our ongoing insurance and reinsurance programs. The 1996 budget calls for a 38.49% increase in net premium revenue but a reduced amount of capital gains. The underwriting is going to benefit from the lower commissions paid when we use First Re and the other expenses are projected to be flat with 1995. We will increase our net income marginally because of investment income, and if the investment markets allow capital gains, we should exceed the budget by a higher margin.
