Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
September 30, 1999
1. Basis of presentation
Accounting Principles The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information ("GAAP") and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they
do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results
for the period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
the entire year.
The comparative consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1998 has been
derived from the audited consolidated financial statements for the period ended
December 31, 1998.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the period ended
December 31, 1998.
We have reclassified some figures from our 1998 financial statements to conform
with our 1999 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income
or shareholders' equity as previously reported.
Consolidation - We consolidate our results and have eliminated all significant
intercompany transactions.
Estimates, risks and uncertainties - The preparation of GAAP financial
statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates. Our most significant assumptions are for
assumed reinsurance liabilities, which are provided by the ceding companies. It
is typical for these ceding companies to periodically review and revise these
estimates. We also will review and revise these estimates as appropriate. Any
adjustments made to these estimates will be reflected in the period the
estimates are revised.

2. Earnings per ordinary share
We calculate earnings per ordinary share in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128 "Earnings per Share" ("EPS").
Basic EPS excludes the dilutive effect of options and warrants. Diluted EPS
includes the dilutive effect of these securities using the treasury stock
method. The weighted-average number of shares is calculated by weighting how
long the shares have been outstanding over the accounting period.
Our warrants and options were not deemed to be dilutive as of September 30, 1999
because the strike price of $15 was greater than our market value.

4. Taxation
There is presently no taxation imposed on income or capital gains by the
Government of the Cayman Islands. If any taxation were to be enacted, we and
Scottish Annuity & Life Insurance Company (Cayman) Ltd. ("Scottish Insurance"),
our wholly owned subsidiary, have been granted exemptions therefrom until 2018.
We operate in a manner such that we will owe no United States tax other than
premium excise taxes, withholding taxes on certain investment income, and
corporate income tax in relation to the operations of Harbourton Reassurance,
Inc. ("Harbourton") a U.S. based company we acquired subsequent to September 30,
1999.
5. Statutory requirements and dividend restrictions
Under The Insurance Law of the Cayman Islands (1999 Revision), Scottish
Insurance must maintain a minimum net capital worth of $240,000.
Our ability to pay dividends depends on the ability of Scottish Insurance to pay
dividends to us. While we are not subject to any significant legal prohibitions
on the payment of the dividends, Scottish Insurance will be subject to Cayman
Islands regulatory constraints, which affect its ability to pay dividends.
Scottish Insurance is prohibited from declaring or paying a dividend if such
payment would reduce its net capital worth below $240,000.
6. Subsequent events
On October 15, 1999 we acquired Harbourton, a U.S. based reinsurer, for a
purchase price of $25,183,372 in cash. This transaction will provide us with a
United States platform to write insurance business. Harbourton is licensed in 15
states and the District of Columbia, and is an authorized reinsurer in 24
states. At September 30, 1999, Harbourton had unaudited revenues of $4.8 million
for the nine months then ended and total assets of $115.8 million.
This acquisition will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
We are currently in the process of preparing the purchase price allocation and
determining the useful lives of the assets acquired. The following are our
unaudited pro forma results for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and the
period from incorporation (May 12, 1998) to September 30, 1998 assuming the
acquisition occurred on May 12, 1998.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Overview
Our operating earnings for the quarter of $3,279,545 or $0.18 per share
were driven by revenues from our investment portfolio, reinsurance operations,
and insurance administration fees. Comparisons to the prior period are not
meaningful because we did not begin operations until November of 1998 in
conjunction with our IPO.
Investments
Our investment portfolio is managed by two professional investment
managers, Gen Re - New England Asset Management, Inc and Prudential Investment
Corporation. Our investment guidelines are designed to diversify the portfolio
to maximize investment income while minimizing risk. At September 30, 1999, the
portfolio had an average quality rating of AA+, an average duration of 2.75
years and an average book yield of 6.33%. This compares with AA, 4.68 years and
6.06% respectively at June 30, 1999. Our fixed maturity portfolio more than
doubled to $441 million as a result of the reinsurance business. The duration
was reduced because of our liquidity needs, which were, the acquisition of
Harbourton Reassurance, Inc. ("Harbourton") and the stock buy back. A realized
loss of $1,014,444 and net unrealized depreciation of $1,330,260 were recognized
on investments during the quarter. The realized loss occurred as a result of
the realignment of the investment portfolio. The unrealized depreciation was
the result of interest rates increasing from June 30, 1999.
Insurance Operations
Our business consists of two lines of business, variable life insurance and
life and annuity reinsurance. Our results reflected revenues from both of these
lines of business. The insurance administration business, which is part of the
variable life insurance line, consists of a variety of insurance administration,
accounting and other services provided to Scottish Annuity Company (Cayman) Ltd.
During the third quarter there was no additional activity in our variable
life insurance line of business.
During the third quarter we entered into a reinsurance agreement to
reinsure up to $400 million of group funding agreement business. This
transaction was structured so that reserves would be transferred in four
separate $100 million tranches. Additionally, closing each tranch is subject to
final approval by both parties. We closed on the two first tranches in July and
August. Subsequently, in mutual agreement with the ceding company, we elected
to delay taking down the third and fourth tranches. This decision does not
reflect the quality of the reinsured business, but rather came as a result of
adverse conditions in the overall market that were outside our control and that
of the ceding company. If market conditions continue to stabilize, we may
consider taking down the final two tranches.

Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Outlook
We have continued to develop the variable life distribution system by
building relationships with independent insurance brokers. We have had
significant interest from the brokerage community and are excited about the
prospects.
We are currently evaluating several reinsurance transactions, which we
expect to close in the fourth quarter. In addition, on October 15, 1999 we
closed our acquisition of Harbourton. Harbourton will provide us with a United
States platform to write reinsurance business. It should be noted that, in our
opinion, the Harbourton losses reflected in the pro forma information in
footnote 6 are non-recurring in nature. Harbourton is licensed in 15 states and
the District of Columbia and is an authorized reinsurer in 24 states.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
At September 30, 1999, total capitalization was $232,230,024. We have
recently completed a $25 million stock repurchase program. Through September
30, 1999 we had repurchased 1,487,800 shares for $14,878,370; to date we have
repurchased 2,529,700 shares for $24,999,232. On October 15, 1999 we completed
our acquisition of Harbourton for $25,183,372. We have no material commitments
for capital expenditures and do not anticipate incurring material indebtedness
other than letters of credit or lines of credit, which may be required in the
ordinary course of our reinsurance business.
During the quarter we paid the second quarter dividend of $928,822. At our
October 27, 1999 Board of Directors meeting, a stockholder dividend of $0.05 per
ordinary share was declared on the shares outstanding as of the record date of
December 6, 1999 to be paid on December 22, 1999.
We expect that our cash and investments, together with cash generated from
our businesses, will provide sufficient sources of liquidity and capital to meet
our needs for the next several years.
Year 2000 Risk
Many existing computer programs use only two digits to identify a year in
the date field. These programs, if not corrected, could fail or create erroneous
results by or at the year 2000. This "Year 2000" Issue is believed to affect
virtually all companies and organizations, including us. Because most of our
computer hardware and software is less than three years old, we believe that our
exposure with respect to our own computer systems to Year 2000-related problems
is not significant. In addition, we recently upgraded our principal accounting
software from a DOS-based version which was not Year 2000 compliant to a Windows
NT version which is certified Year 2000 compliant by the software vendor.

Scottish Annuity & Life Holdings, Ltd.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
We rely significantly on a number of third party service providers, such as
General Re and Prudential Investment, each of whom confirmed to us, or is in the
process of confirming, that they are Year 2000 compliant. We also intend to
require that any new service providers be or become Year 2000 compliant in a
timely manner. There can be no assurance, however, that our operations will not
experience disruptions due to the failure of third parties, including
reinsurance counter parties, to become fully Year 2000 compliant in a timely
manner or that a failure will not otherwise have an adverse effect on our
business, results of operations or financial condition. In the event that our
plans with respect to Year 2000 readiness fail to protect our operations from
disruptions or its business, results of operations or financial condition from
adverse effect, we have no contingency plan other than the replacement of
existing third party service providers which are not Year 2000 compliant with
comparable third party service providers who are Year 2000 compliant. We may
also have an exposure to Year 2000 issues from reinsurance business.
Changes in Accounting Standards
The Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement No. 133, "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," was issued in June 1998 and
requires adoption no later than fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 2000. The new standard establishes accounting and reporting standards
for derivative instruments. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives
as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and
measure those instruments at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a
derivative may be specifically designated as (a) a hedge of the exposure to
changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized
firm commitment, (b) a hedge of the exposure to variable cash flows of a
forecasted transaction, or (c) a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of a net
investment in a foreign operation, an unrecognized firm commitment, an
available-for-sale security, or a foreign-currency-denominated forecasted
transaction. We have not yet completed our evaluation of the effect this
standard will have on us.
