                      IPC HOLDINGS, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARY
                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in thousands of United States dollars except for per share amounts)
                                (unaudited)




1.     GENERAL:

  The consolidated interim financial statements presented herein have been
  prepared on the basis of United States generally accepted accounting
  principles ("GAAP") and include the accounts of IPC Holdings, Ltd. (the
  "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiary, International Property
  Catastrophe Reinsurance Company, Ltd. ("IPC Re" and, together with the
  Company, "IPC"). In the opinion of management, these financial
  statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
  accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations
  for the three month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, the balance
  sheet at March 31, 1996 and the cashflows for the three month periods
  ended March 31, 1996 and 1995. These interim consolidated financial
  statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial
  statements for the year ended December 31, 1995. The results of
  operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of
  results for the full year.

2.     CAPITAL:

  On March 13, 1996, the Company completed an initial public offering in
  which 13,521,739 common shares held by existing shareholders were sold.
  Proceeds to selling shareholders were $281,590 which represented a price
  of $20.825 per share. The Company did not receive any of the proceeds
  from the sale of shares, but did pay certain expenses related to the
  offering. Immediately prior to the offering the Company's share capital
  consisted of 1,000 common shares, par value $200 per share, all of which
  were outstanding. Subsequent to the offering the Company's share capital
  consists of: (i) 75,000,000 common shares, par value $0.01 per share, of
  which 25,000,000 are outstanding and (ii) 25,000,000 preferred shares,
  par value $0.01 per share, of which none are outstanding.

3.     DIVIDENDS:

  On April 18, 1996 the Directors approved the payment of a dividend of
  $0.2875 per share on June 27, 1996 to shareholders of record on June 11,
  1996.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

Results of Operations, Quarters Ended March 31, 1996 and 1995

  In the quarters ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 IPC wrote premiums of
  $61.8 million and $53.6 million, respectively, an increase of 15%
  including reinstatement premiums of $2.5 million and $1.6 million,
  respectively. Premiums written increased as a result of new business
  from both new and existing clients although the increase was offset to
  some extent by rate reductions, generally in the range of 10%. Premiums
  earned in the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 were $27.8
  million and $23.3 million respectively, an increase of 19%.

  Losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred during the first quarter of
  1996 were $6.6 million compared to $13.9 million in the corresponding
  period in 1995, which included the earthquake in Kobe, Japan. While
  there were no major catastrophes during the first quarter of 1996, there
  was a significant amount of loss activity in what turned out to be the
  third highest first quarter ever in terms of loss activity in the United
  States. IPC's loss ratio (the ratio of losses and loss adjustment
  expenses to premiums earned) decreased from 59.6% in the first quarter
  of 1995 to 23.8% in the first quarter of 1996. IPC's business is the
  reinsurance of man-made and natural disasters and its loss experience
  will generally include infrequent events of great severity. Hence there
  is the potential for great volatility in losses incurred in any period
  with a corresponding impact on net income and shareholders' equity.

  Acquisition costs, which consist primarily of commissions and brokerage
  fees paid to intermediaries for the production of business and excise
  taxes, were $2.7 million in the first quarter of 1996, after deferring
  those costs relating to unearned premiums, compared to $2.3 million in
  the first quarter of 1995. General and administrative expenses were $2.2
  million, a small decrease from the $2.3 million reported for the first
  quarter of 1995. General and administrative expenses in the first
  quarter of 1996 included $0.4 million relating to the Company's initial
  public offering. The Company's expense ratio (the ratio of acquisition
  costs and general and administrative expenses to premiums earned) was
  17.5% in the first quarter of 1996 compared to 19.8% in the first
  quarter of 1995.

  Net investment income was $6.7 million in the first quarter of 1996, an
  increase of $1.7 million or 34% from the $5.0 million reported in the
  corresponding period in 1995. This increase resulted from a higher
  investment yield, 5.9% in the first quarter of 1996 compared to 5.3% in
  the first quarter of 1995, and an average investment base which was 21%
  higher in the first quarter of 1996 compared to the same period in 1995.

  Net income for the first three months of 1996 was $27.0 million, an
  increase of 127% over the $11.9 million reported in the corresponding
  period in 1995. Excluding the effects of realized gains arising from the
  sale of investments, net operating income was $23.5 million, an increase
  of 107% over the corresponding period in 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

  Cashflows from operating activities in the first quarter of 1996 were
  $27.2 million compared to $28.5 million in the first quarter of 1995.
  This 5% reduction reflects higher loss payments and earlier settlement
  of certain expenses in the first quarter of 1996 compared to the first
  quarter of 1995.

  Net cashflows used in investing activities in the first quarter of 1996
  were $36.6 million. Cash and cash equivalents were reduced by $9.4
  million in the quarter leaving a balance of $8.7 million at March 31,
  1996. At March 31, 1996, 7% of IPC's fixed income portfolio was held in
  United States Treasury notes and a further 63% in securities rated AAA.

Liquidity and Capital Resources-Cont'd






  On March 13, 1996, the Company completed an initial public offering in
  which 13,521,739 common shares held by existing shareholders were sold.
  Proceeds to selling shareholders were $281.6 million which represented a
  price of $20.825 per share. The Company did not receive any of the
  proceeds from the sale of shares, but did pay certain expenses related
  to the offering. Immediately prior to the offering the Company's share
  capital consisted of 1,000 common shares, par value $200 per share, all
  of which were outstanding. Subsequent to the offering the Company's
  share capital consists of: (i) 75,000,000 common shares, par value $0.01
  per share, of which 25,000,000 are outstanding and (ii) 25,000,000
  preferred shares, par value $0.01 per share, of which none are
  outstanding.

  meeting.

  The shareholders of the Company passed a unanimous written resolution on
  March 12, 1996 approving the giving of financial assistance by the
