(Note 1) Premiums written are accounted for upon receipt of insurance premiums from policyholders. This recognition policy differs from those employed for the preparation of annual and semi-annual reports.


(Note 2) Net premiums written are derived by adjusting direct premiums written for reinsurance transactions.


Comments:

Net premiums written for the nine months ended December 31, 2002 increased by 8.2% as compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year. Excluding the impact of revisions to CALI reinsurance regulations, the increase amounts to 2.6%.


While the premiums of voluntary automobile insurance declined, we achieved steady growth in fire insurance, marine insurance and others mainly due to the following, increase in over-the-counter sales of fire insurance through banks, increase in the sales of third sector products, raise in reinsurance premiums reflecting the universal market trend, and changes in the reinsurance scheme. For CALI, premiums increased due to the revisions to CALI reinsurance regulations.
