The fourth quarter results of 2011 compared to 2010 are primarily attributable to trading losses in the Company’s investment portfolio and an increase in losses and loss adjustment expenses. The losses in the investment portfolio reflect a decline in the value of the Company’s equity securities holdings occurring mostly during the second half of the year ended December 31, 2011.
