RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Expressed in United States Dollars)
(unaudited)
1. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of
United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and include the
accounts of RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd. and its subsidiaries, Renaissance
Reinsurance Ltd. ("Renaissance Reinsurance") and Glencoe Insurance Ltd.
("Glencoe") (collectively, the "Company"). In the opinion of management, these
financial statements reflect all the normal recurring adjustments necessary for
a fair presentation of the Company's financial position at June 30, 1996 and
December 31, 1995, its results for the three month and six month periods ended
June 30, 1996 and 1995 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and
1995. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the 1995 audited consolidated financial statements and related notes
thereto.
2. Earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income available to
common shareholders by weighted average common shares and common share
equivalents outstanding.
For the quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Company had 26,076,000 weighted
average common shares outstanding consisting of 25,608,000 weighted average
common shares and 468,000 weighted average common share equivalents issuable
pursuant to stock option plans. For the quarter ended June 30, 1995, the Company
had 22,750,000 weighted average common shares outstanding consisting of
22,500,000 weighted average common shares and 250,000 weighted average common
share equivalents issuable pursuant to stock option plans.
For the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Company had 26,081,000 weighted
average common shares outstanding consisting of 25,607,000 weighted average
common shares and 474,000 weighted average common share equivalents issuable
pursuant to stock option plans. For the six months ended June 30, 1995, the
Company had 22,750,000 weighted average common shares outstanding consisting of
22,500,000 weighted average common shares and 250,000 weighted average common
share equivalents issuable pursuant to stock option plans.
3. During the quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Board of Directors of the
Company declared, and the Company paid, a dividend of $0.20 per share to
shareholders of record as of May 16, 1996.
4. In early January 1996, the Company capitalized a new subsidiary, Glencoe,
with $50 million of initial capital, to participate in certain attractive
insurance markets utilizing the modeling, underwriting, customer service, and
capital management approaches that Renaissance Reinsurance has successfully
employed. Glencoe is not expected to contribute significantly to the Company's
results of operations in 1996.
6
<PAGE>
During the second quarter of 1996, two strategic investors became
shareholders of Glencoe. Underwriters Reinsurance Company of Woodland Hills,
California, purchased 20 percent of Glencoe. Dames and Moore Ventures, a
subsidiary of Dames and Moore, Inc., a leading engineering and consulting firm,
purchased 9.9 percent of Glencoe. RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd. retained a 70.1
percent interest in Glencoe. The results of Glencoe are consolidated and the
resulting minority interests are eliminated in the consolidated income
statements and the consolidated balance sheets.
5. In February 1996, the Company completed a secondary offering of 3 million
common shares at $28.00 per share. The Company's initial institutional
investors each sold 14% of their holdings, which doubled the public float of the
Company's shares. The secondary offering did not have any impact on shares
outstanding because all shares were sold by existing shareholders.
6. Interest paid was $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and
$2.0 million for the same period in the previous year.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the quarter ended June 30, 1996 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 1995
For the quarter ended June 30, 1996, net income available to common shareholders
was $39.3 million, compared to $41.5 million reported for the same quarter in
1995. Operating earnings (excluding realized gains and losses on investments)
were $40.8 million for the second quarter of 1996, compared to $41.6 for the
same period in 1995. Earnings per common share for the quarter ended June 30,
1996 decreased 17 percent to $1.51 compared to $1.83 for the same period in
1995. This decrease was primarily because of a 15 percent increase in the
number of weighted average common shares outstanding in the second quarter of
1996 compared to the same period in 1995 as a result of the Company's initial
public offering of 3.1 million common shares in July 1995 (the "IPO").
Operating earnings per common share (excluding realized gains and losses on
investments) were $1.56 for the second quarter of 1996, compared to $1.83 for
the same period in 1995.
Gross premiums written for the second quarter of 1996 declined 3 percent to
$39.0 million from the $40.0 million reported for the same quarter of 1995. The
decline in gross premiums written was primarily related to the competitive
market for property catastrophe reinsurance, which was partially offset by
higher reinstatement premiums in the first quarter of 1996 compared to the first
quarter of 1995. The gross premium written decrease of 3 percent was the
result of a 20 percent decrease due to certain clients not renewing coverage, a
decrease in pricing and coverage of renewed business of 15 percent, which was
partially offset by increased premiums related to new business of 17 percent and
an increase of 15 percent caused by an increase in reinstatement premiums
booked. Reinstatement premiums for the second quarter of 1996 were $4.1
million. Reinsurance ceded premiums written were $6.3 million for the second
quarter of 1996, resulting in net premiums written for the 1996 second quarter
of $32.7 million compared to $40.0 million for the same period in 1995. Net
premiums earned for the second quarter of 1996 were $62.0 million, compared to
$70.3 million for the same quarter of 1995.
The table below sets forth the Company's combined ratio and components thereof
for the quarters ended June 30, 1996 and 1995:

<PAGE>
Claims and claim adjustment expenses incurred for the quarter ended June 30,
1996 were $19.3 million or 31.2 percent of net premiums earned and included the
provision of $7.0 million for claims incurred by regional midwestern clients
related to the severe wind and hail storms during the second quarter of 1996.
In comparison, claims and claim adjustment expenses for the quarter ended June
30, 1995 were $25.4 million or 36.2 percent of net premiums earned.
Acquisition costs were $6.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 compared
to $7.1 million for the same period in 1995. These costs were 9.8 percent and
10.0 percent of net premiums earned for the quarters ended June 30, 1996 and
1995, respectively.
Net investment income (excluding net realized investment gains and losses) was
$10.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 compared to $7.4 million for
the same period in 1995. The increase was due to the increase in the Company's
average invested assets to $691.1 million during the second quarter of 1996
compared to $531.6 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase
in invested assets over the prior year amount was the result of cash flow
provided by operating activities, and the net proceeds of the IPO, partially
offset by a reduction in borrowings under the Company's revolving credit
facility with a syndicate of commercial banks (the "Revolving Credit Facility")
and the Company's retirement of its Series B 15% Cumulative Redeemable Voting
Preference Shares (the "Series B Preference Shares") in April 1995. Net
realized losses on investments were $1.5 million for the quarter ended June 30,
1996.
For the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the six months ended June
30, 1995
For the six months ended June 30, 1996, net income available to common
shareholders was $78.5 million, compared to $80.6 million reported for the same
period in 1995. Operating earnings (excluding realized gains and losses on
investments) were $80.6 million for the first six months of 1996, compared to
$80.0 million for the same period in 1995. Earnings per common share for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 decreased 15 percent to $3.01 compared to $3.54 for
the same period in 1995. This decrease was because of a 15 percent increase in
the number of weighted average common shares outstanding during the first six
months of 1996 compared to the same period in 1995, as a result of the IPO.
Operating earnings per common share (excluding realized gains and losses on
investments) were $3.09 for the first six months of 1996, compared to $3.52 for
the same period in 1995.
Gross premiums written for the first six months of 1996 declined 8 percent to
$179.6 million from the $196.2 million reported for the same period of 1995. The
decline in gross premiums written was primarily related to the competitive
market for property catastrophe reinsurance and the booking of a multi-year
policy in the first quarter of 1995 that will not renew until 1997, partially
offset by higher reinstatement premiums in the first six months of 1996 compared
to the same period in 1995. The gross premiums written decrease of 8
9
<PAGE>
percent was the result of an 11 percent decrease due to certain clients not
renewing coverage, a decrease in pricing and coverage of renewed business of 5
percent and a decrease of 3 percent related to a multi-year policy that will not
renew until 1997, which was partially offset by an increase of 2 percent in
reinstatement premiums booked and increased premiums related to new business of
9 percent. Reinsurance ceded premiums written were $8.2 million for the first
six months of 1996 compared to $0.7 million for the same period of 1995,
resulting in net premiums written of $171.4 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 compared to net premiums written of $195.5 million for the same
period in the prior year. Net premiums earned for the first six months of 1996
were $123.7 million, compared to $136.9 million for the same period of 1995.
The table below sets forth the Company's combined ratio and components thereof
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995:

Claims and claim adjustment expenses incurred for the six months ended June 30,
1996 were $39.3 million or 31.8 percent of net premiums earned and included the
provision of $7.0 million for claims incurred by regional midwestern clients
related to the severe wind and hail storms during the second quarter of 1996 as
well as the provision of $7.0 million for losses related to the Northeast USA
winter storms in the first quarter of 1996. In comparison, claims and claim
adjustment expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1995 were $46.3 million or
33.8 percent of net premiums earned.
Acquisition costs were $12.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996
compared to $13.8 million for the same period in 1995. These costs were
consistent at approximately 10 percent of net premiums earned for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.
Net investment income (excluding net realized investment gains and losses) was
$20.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to $14.4 million
for the same period in 1995. The increase was due to the increase in the
Company's average invested assets to $676.7 million during the first six months
of 1996 compared to $497.8 million for the same period in the prior year. The
increase in invested assets over the prior year amount was the result of cash
flow provided by operating activities, and the net proceeds of the IPO partially
offset by a reduction in borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and the
retirement of the Series B Preference Shares in April 1995. Net realized losses
on investments were $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996,
compared to net realized gains on investments of $0.5 million for the same
period in 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
In July 1995, the Company completed the IPO of its common shares, raising
approximately $55 million. The net proceeds from the IPO were used to reduce
the Company's outstanding borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility and for
general corporate purposes.
In January 1996, the Company amended and restated the Revolving Credit Facility,
increasing the aggregate borrowing limit thereunder to $150.0 million from
$120.0 million. The full amount of the Revolving Credit Facility is available
until February 1, 1999, with two optional one year extensions, if requested by
the Company and approved by the lenders.
On February 28, 1996, the Company completed a secondary offering of 3 million
common shares at $28.00 per share. The Company's initial institutional
investors each sold 14 percent of their holdings, which doubled the public float
of the Company's shares. The secondary offering did not have any impact on
shares outstanding because all shares were sold by existing shareholders.
At June 30, 1996, total assets were $834.0 million compared to $757.1 million at
December 31, 1995, an increase of approximately 10 percent. The increase in
total assets during the first six months of 1996 was due primarily to cash flows
provided by operating activities partially offset by reduced borrowings under
the Company's Revolving Credit Facility. During the quarters ended June 30,
1996 and March 31, 1996, the Company reduced its borrowings under the Revolving
Credit Facility by $30 million and $20 million, respectively. At June 30,
1996, the Company had $100 million of unused borrowing capacity under its
Revolving Credit Facility.
The Company's investment portfolio had a fair value of $685.4 million at June
30, 1996 and consisted of debt securities with fixed maturities with a fair
value of $582.2 million and cash and cash equivalents with a fair value of
$103.2 million. At June 30, 1996, the investment portfolio had an average
rating of AA+ as measured by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group, an average
duration of 1.5 years and an average yield to maturity of 6.3 percent before
investment expenses. The Company's investment in cash and cash equivalents
included $23.4 million of investments in non - U.S. currencies, representing
approximately 3 percent of invested assets. The remaining 97 percent of the
Company's invested assets are invested in U.S. Dollar denominated investments.
The portfolio does not contain any direct investments in real estate, mortgage
loans or other securities.
