METHOD 4 - COMPANY INCURRED LOSS DEVELOPMENT t Prior Years and AY 1988 ã Part 2 Incurred equals ultimate t AY 1989 AY89 Ult. = AY89 x AY88 Pt2 AY88 t AY 1997 AY97 Ult. = AY97 x AY94, AY95, AY96 Pt2 AY94, AY95, AY96

METHOD 1 - COMPANY PAID LOSS DEVELOPMENT t Prior Years Req. Res. = Carr. Res. x 1 + 3Yr Dev in PY’s 2 PY Carr t AY 1988 AY88 Ult. = AY88 Pt3 + Carr. Res. x 1 + 3Yr Dev in PY’s & AY88 PY & AY88 Carr

METHOD 5 - INDUSTRY INCURRED LOSS DEVELOPMENT t Prior Years Required Reserves = PY Carr. Res. x Industry Tail Factor t AY 1988 Ultimate = AY88 Pt3 + AY88 Carr. Res. x Ind.
