(1) Net operating earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by the Company as net income attributable to Maiden excluding realized investment gains and losses, foreign exchange gains and losses, amortization of intangible assets, accelerated amortization of junior subordinated debt discount and issuance cost, junior subordinated debt redemption expense, non-recurring general and administrative expenses relating to acquisition and non-cash deferred tax charge and should not be considered as an alternative to net income. The Company's management believes that net operating earnings is a useful indicator of trends in the Company's underlying operations. The Company's measure of net operating earnings may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
 
(2) Income from Operations is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by the Company as net income attributable to Maiden excluding foreign exchange  gains and losses, amortization of intangible assets, interest and amortization expense, accelerated amortization of junior subordinated debt discount and issuance cost, junior subordinated debt redemption expense, income tax expense and loss attributable to noncontrolling interest and should not be considered as an alternative to net income.  The Company’s management believes that income from operations is a useful measure of the Company’s underlying earnings fundamentals based on its underwriting and investment income before financing costs. This income from operations enables readers of this information to more clearly understand the essential operating results of the Company. The Company’s measure of income from operations may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
 
(3) Investable assets is the total of the Company's investments, cash and cash equivalents, loan to a related party and the portion of the funds withheld balance that comprises fixed maturity securities and cash and cash equivalents.
 
(4) During a period of loss, the basic weighted average common shares outstanding is used in the denominator of the diluted loss per common share computation as the effect of including potential dilutive shares would be anti-dilutive.
 
(5) Calculated by dividing total Maiden shareholders' equity by total common shares outstanding.
 
(6) Capital is the total of the Company's junior subordinated debt, senior notes and shareholders' equity.  The total capital as of June 30, 2011 is temporarily increased by $88,973, which represents the amount of junior subordinated debentures (net of accelerated amortization of discount) which were redeemed on July 15, 2011.
