                      WHITE MOUNTAINS INSURANCE GROUP, INC.

                    UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited pro forma financial information of White Mountains
Insurance Group, Inc. (formerly Fund American Enterprises Holdings, Inc.) and
its subsidiaries ("White Mountains") is being presented in connection with White
Mountains' sale, on June 17, 1999, of the following property and casualty
insurance operations to Unitrin, Inc. (the "Sale"): (i) Valley Insurance
Company, Valley Property & Casualty Insurance Company and certain related
non-insurance affiliates; (ii) Charter Indemnity Company and certain related
non-insurance subsidiaries; and (iii) White Mountains Insurance Company. Within
this filing, the companies sold to Unitrin, Inc. on June 17, 1999 are
collectively referred to as Valley Group, Inc. "VGI".

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statements of
White Mountains for the periods ended March 31, 1999, June 30, 1999 and December
31, 1998 present results for White Mountains as if the Sale and certain
transactions and adjustments related to the Sale had occurred as of January 1,
1999, January 1, 1999, and January 1, 1998, respectively. The accompanying
unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet of White Mountains as of
March 31, 1999 presents White Mountains' financial position as if the Sale had
occurred as of March 31, 1999. The unaudited pro forma financial information
does not purport to represent what White Mountains' financial position or
results of operations actually would have been had the Sale in fact occurred as
of the dates indicated, or to project White Mountains' financial position or
results of operations for any future date or period. The pro forma adjustments
are based on available information and certain assumptions that White Mountains
currently believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited pro
forma financial information should be read in conjunction with: (i) White
Mountains' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998; (ii)
White Mountains' Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three-month and six-month
periods ended June 30, 1999; and (iii) White Mountains' Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q for the three-month period ended March 31, 1999.

The pro forma adjustments and pro forma combined amounts are provided for
informational purposes only. White Mountains' financial statements will reflect
the actual effects of the Sale on the date such event occurred. Although the
actual Sale results will differ, the unaudited pro forma financial information
reflects management's best estimate based on currently available information.

The pro forma adjustments contained herein assume that the Federal tax rate is
35%, the maximum Federal statutory rate for corporations and that the applicable
state tax rate is approximately 6%.
