1 Basic net income and adjusted operating income per common share include all participating securities using the two-class method. Diluted net income and adjusted operating income per common share include the dilutive impact of non-participating securities, based on the application of the treasury stock method. Shares included in these calculations are weighted for the portion of the period they were outstanding. Antidilutive awards were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. Quarterly earnings per share amounts may not add to the full year amounts.
 
2 Management considers these non-GAAP measures to be a useful supplement to their most comparable GAAP measure in evaluating financial performance and condition. Non-GAAP measures including adjusted operating income and the corresponding basic and diluted per share amounts, adjusted book value and the corresponding per share amounts, statutory book value per share amounts, and operating ROAE have been reconciled to their most directly comparable GAAP measures on pages 2, 15, and 16, respectively.
 
3 Adjusted book value per common share is calculated based on adjusted book value, divided by outstanding common shares.
 
4 Adjusted book value per common share, as converted, gives effect to the exercise of the outstanding warrants and is calculated based on adjusted book value plus the assumed proceeds from the warrants, divided by outstanding common shares, plus shares subject to outstanding warrants.
 
5 Statutory book value per common share is calculated based on statutory book value divided by outstanding common shares.
 
6 Debt to capital ratio, excluding AOCI is calculated as notes payable divided by the sum of notes payable and adjusted book value.
 
7 Operating ROAE (return on average equity) is calculated based on adjusted operating income divided by average adjusted book value. The numerator and denominator of this measure have been reconciled to net income and stockholders’ equity, respectively, their most comparable GAAP measures.

1 Group loss ratio represents policyholder benefits and claims incurred divided by premiums earned.
2 Expense ratio is equal to other underwriting and operating expenses of our insurance operations and amortization of DAC divided by premiums earned.
3 Combined ratio is equal to the sum of the loss ratio and the expense ratio.
4 Medical stop-loss loss ratio represents medical stop-loss policyholder benefits and claims incured divided by medical stop-loss premiums earned.
5 Total sales represents annualized first-year premiums net of first year policy lapses.
6 The third quarter 2010 results included one large case with a loss ratio in excess of 95%. This case terminated in fourth quarter 2010. Without this case, the third quarter 2010 group loss ratio would have been 65.3% and the medical stop-loss — loss ratio would have been 67.5%.

1 Reserves represent the present value of future income annuity benefits and assumed expenses, discounted by the assumed interest rate. This metric represents the amount of our in-force book of business.
 
2 Interest spread is the difference between the net investment yield earned and the credited interest rate on policyholder reserves. The investment yield is the approximate yield on invested assets, excluding equities, in the general account attributed to the segment. The credited interest rate is the approximate rate credited on policyholder reserves within the segment and excludes the gains and losses from funding services and mortality. The 2011 first quarter and 2010 fourth quarter interest spread increased 0.11% and 0.18%, respectively, due to favorable MBS prepayment speed adjustments.
 
3 MBS prepayment speed adjustment is the impact to net investment income due to the change in prepayment speeds on the underlying collateral of mortgage-backed securities.
 
4 Mortality gains (losses) represents the difference between actual and expected reserves related to life contingent annuities.
 
5 Total sales represent deposits for new policies net of first year policy lapses and/or surrenders.

1 Insurance in force represents dollar face amounts of policies.
2 Individual claims repesents incurred claims on our term and universal life policies.
3 UL account value and BOLI account value represent our liabilities to our policyholders.
4 UL interest spread is the difference between the investment yield earned and the credited interest rate to policyholders. The investment yield is the approximate yield on invested assets in the general account attributed to the UL policies. The credit interest rate is the approximate rate credited on UL policyholder fixed account values. Interest credited to UL policyholders’ account values is subject to contractual terms, including minimum guarantees. Interest credited tends to move gradually over time to reflect actions by management to respond to competitive pressures and profit margins. The 2010 first quarter credited rate to policyholders was adjusted to exclude a reserve adjustment related to a persistency bonus. Without this adjustment the 2010 first quarter UL interest spread of 1.37% would have been 5.40%.
5 Individual sales represent annualized first year premiums for recurring premium products, and 10% of new single premiums deposits net of first year policy lapses and/or surrenders.
6 Purchase accounting reserve, or PGAAP reserve, represents impact of purchase accounting on policyholder liabilities. This PGAAP reserve is amortized as a reduction to policyholder benefits according to the pattern of profitability of the book of business of policies in force at the purchase accounting date, August 2, 2004.
7 BOLI ROA is a measure of the gross margin on our BOLI book of business. This metric is calculated as the difference between our BOLI revenue earnings rate and our BOLI policy benefits rate. The revenue earnings rate is calculated as revenues divided by average invested assets. The policy benefits rate is calculated as total policy benefits divided by average account value. The policy benefits used in this metric do not include expenses.
8 BOLI sales represent 10% of new BOLI total deposits.

1 These contracts cannot be surrendered. The benefits are specified in the contracts as fixed amounts to be paid over the next several decades.
2 In a liquidity crisis situation, we could invoke the five-year payout provision so that the contract value with interest is paid out ratably over five years.
3 The surrender value on these contracts is generally zero. Represents incurred but not reported claim liabilities.
4 The biggest deterrent to surrender is the taxation on the gain within these contracts, which includes a 10% non-deductible penalty tax. Banks can exchange certain of these contracts with other carriers, tax-free. However, a significant portion of this business may not qualify for this tax-free treatment due to the employment status of the original covered employees and charges may be applicable.
5 Approximately half of this business has been with the Company for over a decade, contains lifetime minimum interest guarantees of 4.0% to 4.5% and has been free of surrender charges for many years. This business has experienced high persistency given the high lifetime guarantees that have not been available in the market on new issues for many years.
6 Represents reported claim liabilities.
7 Represents the pre-tax unrealized gains of the investment portfolio supporting the related policyholder liability.
