Highlight of Business Operations:

Consolidated net realized investment gains of $1.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2010 are the result of net realized gains from the sale of fixed income and equity securities amounting to $2.2 million, offset in part by other-than-temporary impairments amounting to $0.8 million related to equity securities.

Consolidated claims incurred increased by $29.5 million, or 7.5%, to $424.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2010 when compared to the claims incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2009. This increase is principally due to increased claims in the Managed Care segment as a result of higher enrollment. The consolidated loss ratio decreased by 0.9 percentage points to 84.5%.

Consolidated income tax expense during the three months ended June 30, 2010 decreased by $3.9 million to $2.7 million as compared to the income tax expense during the three months ended June 30, 2009. The consolidated effective tax rate decreased by 10.9 percentage points, to 15.2%, primarily due to a higher taxable income in the Life segment, which is taxed at a lower rate, and a lower taxable income in the Managed Care segment.

Consolidated net investment income decreased by $0.8 million, or 3.1%, to $25.1 million during six months ended June 30, 2010 mostly as the result of lower yields in fixed income investment acquired during the period.
