performance, events, or developments that the Company expects or anticipates
may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. These statements are made on the basis of

ability to meet the obligations associated with its current business and to
fund its continuing operations; the Company's ability to reduce or otherwise
satisfy its collateral obligations; the outcome of pending legal proceedings
involving the Company; the Company's ability to obtain adequate financial
ratings; the ability of the Company's cedents to manage successfully assets
they hold on its behalf; the Company's success in managing its investments; the
Company's ability to maintain the listing of its common shares on the New York
Stock Exchange; changes in mortality, morbidity and claims experience; the
Company's ability to make accurate estimates and assumptions regarding future
mortality, persistency, lapses, expenses and investment performance based upon
historical results and information provided to it by its cedents; the Company's
ability to underwrite business; unanticipated withdrawal or surrender activity;
changes in market conditions, including changes in interest rate levels; the
competitive environment; the impact of recent and possible future terrorist
attacks and the U.S. government's response thereto; the Company's ability to
attract and retain clients; the loss of a key executive; regulatory changes
(such as changes in U.S. tax law and insurance regulation that directly affect
the competitive environment for the Company's products); and a prolonged
economic downturn. Investors are also
directed to consider the risks and uncertainties discussed in documents the
Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and in
particular, the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2003, as amended. The
