              reported to an insurer.

         d. Accounting Date - the date used to define the group
              of claims to be included in the liability estimate. A
              loss reserve is an estimate of the liability for unpaid
              claims as of a given date, called the accounting date.
              An accounting date may be any date and is generally
              a date for which a financial statement is prepared
              such as a month end, quarter end or year end.

         e. Valuation Date - the date as of which the
              evaluation of the loss liability is made. The valuation
              date defines the point in time through which all
              transactions are to be included for the group of
              claims. The valuation date can be before, after or
              the same as the accounting date.

109. The required loss reserve as of a given accounting date
         is the amount that must ultimately be paid to settle all
         claim liabilities.
