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. (the "Company"), and its subsidiaries,
Renaissance Reinsurance Ltd. ("Renaissance Reinsurance"), and Glencoe Insurance
Ltd. ("Glencoe"). 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 September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995,
its results of operations for the three month and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995 and cash flows for the nine months ended September
30, 1996 and 1995. These consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the 1995 audited consolidated financial statements and related
notes thereto. The results of operations for any interim period are not
necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.
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 September 30, 1996, the Company had 26,084,000
weighted average common shares outstanding consisting of 25,614,000 weighted
average common shares and 470,000 weighted average common share equivalents
issuable pursuant to the Company's stock option plans. For the quarter ended
September 30, 1995, the Company had 24,980,000 weighted average common shares
outstanding consisting of 24,570,000 weighted average common shares and 410,000
weighted average common share equivalents issuable pursuant to the Company's
stock option plans.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Company had 26,082,000
weighted average common shares outstanding consisting of 25,609,000 weighted
average common shares and 473,000 weighted average common share equivalents
issuable pursuant to stock option plans. For the nine months ended September 30,
1995, the Company had 23,493,000 weighted average common shares outstanding
consisting of 23,190,000 weighted average common shares and 303,000 weighted
average common share equivalents issuable pursuant to the Company's stock option
plans.
3. During the quarter ended September 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 August 20, 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
6
<PAGE>
Renaissance Reinsurance has successfully employed. Glencoe is not expected to
contribute significantly to the Company's results of operations in 1996.
During the second quarter of 1996, two strategic investors became
shareholders of Glencoe. Underwriters Reinsurance Company of Woodland Hills,
California, purchased 20 percent of the capital stock outstanding of Glencoe.
Additionally, Dames and Moore Ventures, a subsidiary of Dames and Moore, Inc., a
leading engineering and consulting firm, purchased 9.9 percent of the capital
stock outstanding 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 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.
6. Interest paid was $4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
and $4.2 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 September 30, 1996 compared to the quarter ended September
30, 1995
For the quarter ended September 30, 1996, net income available to common
shareholders was $36.5 million, compared to $41.9 million reported for the same
quarter in 1995. Earnings per common share for the quarter ended September 30,
1996 decreased 16.7 percent to $1.40 compared to $1.68 for the same period in
1995. This decrease was primarily because of a decrease in underwriting profit
(net premiums earned less claims and claim adjustment expenses, acquisition
costs and operating expenses) which was partially offset by an increase in
investment income. Operating earnings (excluding realized gains and losses on
investments) were $37.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1996,
compared to $40.8 million for the same quarter in 1995. Operating earnings per
share (excluding realized gains and losses on investments) were $1.42 per share
for the third quarter of 1996, compared to $1.63 per share for the same period
in 1995.
Gross premiums written for the third quarter of 1996 declined 9 percent to $73.6
million from the $81.1 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. The 9 percent decline in gross
premium written was the result of a 15 percent decrease in premiums due to the
Company not renewing coverage and a decrease in reinstatement premiums of 9
percent, which was partially offset by an increase in premiums related to new
business of 12 percent and a 3 percent increase related to changes in pricing,
participation level, and coverage on renewed business. Reinsurance premiums
ceded were $8.4 million for the third quarter of 1996, resulting in net premiums
written for the 1996 third quarter of $65.2 million compared to $80.3 million
for the same period in 1995. Net premiums earned for the third quarter of 1996
were $63.5 million, compared to $77.7 million for the same quarter of 1995.
The table below sets forth the Company's combined ratio and components thereof
for the quarters ended September 30, 1996 and 1995:

<PAGE>
Claims and claim adjustment expenses incurred for the quarter ended September
30, 1996 were $26.3 million or 41.5 percent of net premiums earned and included
the provision of $15 million for claims incurred from Hurricane Fran during the
third quarter of 1996. In comparison, claims and claim adjustment expenses for
the quarter ended September 30, 1995 were $31.9 million or 41.1 percent of net
premiums earned, which included a provision of $16 million for claims incurred
from Hurricanes Erin, Luis and Marilyn.
Underwriting expenses are comprised of acquisition expenses and operating
expenses. Underwriting expenses were $11.1 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 1996 compared to $10.9 million for the same period in 1995. These
costs were 17.4 percent and 14.0 percent of net premiums earned for the quarters
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Acquisition expenses consist
primarily of brokerage commissions and excise taxes. Acquisition expenses were
approximately 10 percent of net premiums earned for each of the quarters
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995. Operating expenses increased from 4 percent
during the quarter ended September 30, 1995 to 7 percent for the quarter ended
September 30, 1996 due primarily to increases in personnel costs and system
development costs.
Net investment income (excluding net realized investment gains and losses) was
$12.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 compared to $7.7 million
for the same period in 1995. The increase was due to the increase in the
Company's average invested assets to $771.3 million during the third 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 was primarily the result of cash
flow provided by operating activities. Net realized losses on investments were
$0.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 as compared to a net
realized gain of $1.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1995.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 1995
For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, net income available to common
shareholders was $114.9 million, compared to $122.5 million reported for the
same period in 1995. Earnings per common share for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 decreased 15 percent to $4.41 compared to $5.21 for the same
period in 1995. This decrease was partially due to an 11 percent increase in the
number of weighted average common shares outstanding, as a result of the initial
public offering of 3,105,000 common shares in July of 1995, and partially due to
a decrease in underwriting profit, which was partially offset by an increase in
investment income earned during the nine months ended September 30, 1996.
Operating earnings (excluding realized gains and losses on investments) were
$117.7 million for the first nine months of 1996, compared to $120.8 million for
the same period in 1995. Operating earnings per common share (excluding realized
gains and losses on investments) were $4.51 for the first nine months of 1996,
compared to $5.14 for the same period in 1995.

<PAGE>
Gross premiums written for the first nine months of 1996 declined 8 percent to
$253.2 million from the $276.6 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. The 8 percent decline in gross
premiums written was the result of a 12 percent decrease due to the Company not
renewing coverage, a 5 percent decrease related to changes in pricing,
participation level, and coverage on renewed business and a decrease in
reinstatement premiums of 1 percent, which was partially offset by an increase
in premiums from new business of 10 percent.
Reinsurance ceded premiums written were $16.5 million for the first nine months
of 1996 compared to $0.9 million for the same period of 1995, resulting in net
premiums written of $236.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
compared to net premiums written of $275.8 million for the same period in the
prior year. Net premiums earned for the first nine months of 1996 were $187.2
million, compared to $214.6 million for the same period of 1995.
The table below sets forth the Company's combined ratio and components thereof
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995:

</TABLE>
Claims and claim adjustment expenses incurred for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 were $65.6 million or 35.1 percent of net premiums earned.
Included in the expenses are provisions of $15 million for claims incurred from
Hurricane Fran during the third quarter of 1996, $8.6 million for claims
incurred by regional midwestern clients related to the severe wind and hail
storms during the second quarter of 1996, and a provision of $8.0 million for
losses related to the winter storms in the northeastern region of the United
States in the first quarter of 1996. In comparison, claims and claim adjustment
expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 were $78.2 million or 36.4
percent of net premiums earned.
Underwriting expenses were $30.6 million for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1996 compared to $29.6 million for the same period in 1995.
Acquisitions costs were 10 percent of net premiums earned for each of the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995. Operating expenses increased from 4
percent during the nine month period ended September 30, 1995 to 6 percent for
the same period in 1996 due primarily to increases in personnel costs and
systems development costs.
Net investment income (excluding net realized investment gains and losses) was
$32.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared to $24.6
million for the same period in 1995. The increase was due to the increase in
the Company's average
10
<PAGE>
invested assets to $722.7 million during the first nine months of 1996 compared
to $530.7 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 an increase in borrowings under the Company's
revolving credit facility with a syndicate of commercial banks (the "Revolving
Credit Facility"). Net realized losses on investments were $2.8 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996, compared to net realized gains on
investments of $1.7 million for the same period in 1995.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
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 common shares. The secondary offering did not have any impact
on shares outstanding because all shares were sold by existing shareholders.
The Company will continue to rely primarily on cash dividends from Renaissance
Reinsurance to service debt and pay dividends to shareholders. The payment of
dividends by Renaissance Reinsurance to the Company is, under certain
circumstances, limited under the Revolving Credit Facility and under Bermuda
insurance law. The Bermuda Insurance Act of 1978, together with the Bermuda
Insurance Amendment Act of 1995, require Renaissance Reinsurance to maintain a
minimum solvency margin and a minimum liquidity ratio. There are presently no
significant restrictions on the payment of dividends by Renaissance Reinsurance
to the Company.
The primary sources of liquidity for Renaissance Reinsurance are net cash flows
from its underwriting activities in the form of net premium receipts, investment
income and the maturity or sale of investments. Renaissance Reinsurance's cash
flow will also be affected by claim payments which, due to the nature of the
reinsurance coverages provided, may be material. Therefore, the Company's cash
flows may fluctuate significantly from period to period.
For the foreseeable future, the Company expects that its financial and
operational needs will be met by available funds and cash flows generated by
operations.
At September 30, 1996, total assets were $983.1 million compared to $757.1
million at December 31, 1995, an increase of approximately 30 percent. The
increase in total assets during the first nine months of 1996 was due primarily
to cash flows provided by operating activities and increased borrowings under
the Revolving Credit Facility. During the quarters ended June 30, 1996 and
March 31, 1996, the Company reduced its
11
<PAGE>
borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility by $30 million and $20 million,
respectively. During the quarter ended September 30, 1996 the Company increased
its borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility by $100 million, to $150
million. The proceeds from the borrowing were invested in short term
investments.
The Company's investment portfolio had a fair value of $840.7 million at
September 30, 1996 and consisted of debt securities with fixed maturities with a
fair value of $594.8 million and cash and cash equivalents with a fair value of
$245.9 million. Primarily because of the potential for large loss payments, the
Company's investment portfolio is structured to provide a high level of
liquidity to meet potential obligations. At September 30, 1996, the
investment portfolio had an average rating of AA+ as measured by Standard &
Poor's Ratings Group, an average duration of 1.4 years and an average yield to
maturity of 6.2 percent before investment expenses. The Company's investment in
cash and cash equivalents included $30.8 million of investments in non - U.S.
currencies, representing approximately 4 percent of invested assets. The
remaining 96 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.

None.
Item 5 -- Other Information
The Company filed a proxy statement on October 24, 1996 (the "Proxy
Statement") in connection with a special meeting of shareholders scheduled to be
held in December 1996 at which the shareholders of the Company will consider and
vote on proposals to increase the size of the Board of Directors and authorize
the Board to fill the vacancies thereby created without further shareholder
action, create by redesignation of the Company's common shares two new series of
diluted voting common shares, and amend the Company's Bye-laws to reduce the
vote and quorum requirements relating to certain matters, as set forth more
fully in the Proxy Statement. The changes will mitigate certain effects of U.S.
taxation for the Company and its shareholders and accomplish certain changes in
the corporate governance of the Company.
