--  Allstate brand standard auto and homeowners PIF increased 4.9% and
    6.0%, respectively, from March 31, 2004 levels, compared to
    increases of 5.5% and 6.4%, respectively in the fourth quarter of
    2004 over the fourth quarter of 2003. Both standard auto and
    homeowners experienced PIF growth in most states. These results
    exclude impacts from Allstate Canada.

--  Allstate brand standard auto and homeowners retention ratio,
    excluding the impacts of Allstate Canada, increased to 90.7 and
    88.5, respectively, from 90.4 and 87.8 in the prior year first
    quarter.

--  Allstate brand standard auto and homeowners new business premiums
    declined 2.3% and 3.5%, respectively, as compared to the first
    quarter of 2004, primarily due to declines in certain markets from
    competitive pressures due to risk selection and pricing
    strategies. We are experiencing a decline of standard auto new
    business due to new entrants in a major market. In homeowners, we
    are curtailing our writings of new business in some markets due to
    catastrophe exposure management. We will continue our disciplined
    risk and pricing approach, seeking profitable growth on a
    market-by-market basis. These results exclude impacts from
    Allstate Canada.

--  Investments including Separate Account assets as of March 31, 2005
    increased 10.0% over March 31, 2004 primarily due to strong sales
    of fixed annuities and funding agreements.

--  As of March 31, 2005, 77% of our interest-sensitive life and fixed
    annuity contracts, excluding market value adjusted annuities, have
    a guaranteed crediting rate of 3% or higher. Of these contracts,
    76% have crediting rates that are at the minimum as of March 31,
    2005. For all interest-sensitive life and fixed annuity contracts,
    excluding market value adjusted annuities, the approximate
    difference between the weighted average crediting rate and the
    average guaranteed crediting rate is 51 basis points as of March
    31, 2005 compared to 52 basis points as of December 31, 2004.

--  In the first quarter of 2005, we performed our annual
    comprehensive evaluation of the assumptions used in our valuation
    models for all investment products, including variable and fixed
    annuities and interest-sensitive and variable life products. This
    evaluation resulted in a net reduction of operating income of $16
    million pre-tax, primarily consisting of the following
    adjustments:
    --  Deferred acquisition costs ("DAC") and deferred sales
        inducements ("DSI") unlocking adjustment of $7 million. The
        DAC and DSI unlocking includes amortization acceleration on
        fixed annuities of $62 million and $3 million on
        interest-sensitive and variable life products, partially
        offset by amortization deceleration on variable annuities of
        $58 million. The amortization acceleration on fixed annuities
        was primarily due to higher than expected lapses on market
        value adjusted annuities during the 30-45 day window in which
        there were no surrender charges or market value adjustments,
        and faster than anticipated portfolio yield declines. The
        amortization deceleration on variable annuities was mostly
        attributable to better than anticipated equity market
        performance and persistency.
    --  The reserves for guarantees related to variable contracts were
        increased $9 million due primarily to a refined measurement of
        exposure, partially offset by better than anticipated equity
        market performance.
    --  In the first quarter of 2004, the comparable DAC and DSI
        unlocking was a net acceleration of amortization of $0.5
        million, which included deceleration of amortization related
        to interest-sensitive life and acceleration of amortization
        related to fixed annuities. There was no comparable adjustment
        to reserves for variable contract guarantees, because the
        reserves were established in the first quarter of 2004 as part
        of the cumulative effect of the change in accounting for such
        guarantees.

(1) Because of rising interest rates, continued asset-liability
    management strategies and on-going comprehensive reviews of our
    portfolios, changes were made in the first quarter to our
    strategic asset allocations, and our view of duration for our
    Property-Liability portfolio. We also pursued yield enhancement
    strategies for the Allstate Financial portfolio. These changes
    primarily resulted in anticipated disposition write-downs of
    certain securities with unrealized loss positions due to a change
    in intent to hold these securities until recovery.
