         except that the liability is for "the unpaid amount required
         to investigate, defend and effect the settlement of all
         claims."

         The third principle states that since there is inherent
         uncertainty in the estimation process, a range of reserves
         can be actuarially sound.

         The final principle states that the "most appropriate
         reserve within a range of actuarially sound estimates
         depends on both the relative likelihood of estimates within
         the range and the financial reporting context in which
         the reserve will be presented."

114. Reserve Estimation Strategy
         The overall approach to a reserve valuation problem
         can be broken into four phases:

         a. Exploratory analysis of the data to identify its key
              characteristics and possible anomalies. Balancing
              of data to other verified sources should be
              undertaken at this point.

         b. Application of appropriate reserve estimation
              techniques.
