Thank you for coming along and joining us today for the full year #### financial results for Insurance Australia Group. This morning we're going to speak about those results to try to give you a little bit of color behind them. I will talk through that and the segment analysis for our business. I will ask Nick Hawkins, our Chief Financial Officer, to speak about investments, reinsurance and capital. And then I will speak a little bit about our current outlook. And then both Nick and I are quite happy to take questions. I think it is fair to say that today's result really contains nothing new from that which we put to the market on the #th of July when we gave quite a detailed briefing about what we intend to do on a go forward type basis. What we will do today is to report on the performance for our #### financial year, and certainly give you some detail behind the trading update that we made in July.... 8/22/2008 1:05:00 PMINSURANCE AUSTRALIA GROUP54.0000FinalFull Year 2008 INSURANCE AUSTRALIA GROUP Earnings Presentation and Webcast TranscriptIAG.AX10:30am AESTTranscriptT1929263Credit & Investment ResearchThomson StreetEventsUK - Equity Insurance Group Ltd, a wholly-owned unit of Insurance Australia Group Ltd acquired Direct Insurance Services, a Hampshire-based insurance agency.7/22/2008 6:51:10 PM29623Y25339Z45544A25339ZEquity Insurance Group LtdDirect Insurance ServicesInsurance Australia Group LtdDirect Insurance Serviceshttp://www.alacrastore.com/storecontent/Thomson_M%26A/Equity_Insurance_Group_Ltd_acquires_Direct_Insurance_Services-1997244040sdc/19972440401997244040Copyright © 2008, Thomson Financial, All Rights ReservedInsuranceUnited KingdomAccidental and health insurance6321FFForeignSubsidiary6311:Life insurance6321:Accidental and health insurance6351:Surety insurance6311:Life insurance6321:Accidental and health insurance6331:Fire, marine, and casualty insurance6351:Surety insuranceInsuranceUnited KingdomInsurance agents, brokers, and service6411FFForeignPrivate44124002Ins coIns agcyUnspecifiedAssets1029780001Jul 22 20080.000000.000000.000000.000000.000000.000000.000000.000000.000000.000000.000000.000000.000000.000000.000000.000000.000000.000000.000000.000000.000000.000000.000000.000001.000002.000003.000004.000005.000006.000007.000008.000009.0000010.0000011.00000Equity Insurance Group Ltd,located in Brentwood, UK, isan insurance company focusingon auto insurance business.The group operates in twodivisions: Equity Red Star,the underwriting business andEquity Insurance Brokers, theinsurance broking business.The company was founded in1846.Equity Insurance Group Ltd, located in Brentwood, UK, is aninsurance company focusing on auto insurance business.

Thank you for joining us today, both those present here in Sydney and those that are joining us online. When I took the role of CEO, now almost six weeks ago, I said that I'd be reviewing all aspects of IAG's operation and our organization, building on some of the work that had been commenced over the course of the previous three or four months, looking at a revised operating model for our business. Today, what I plan to share with you is both the outcomes of that review, as well as some of the immediate changes we're making to deliver a better performance from IAG in the medium term. When I look at our businesses, IAG has a number of unique franchises. It's got significant and iconic brands that operate in special segments of the market. And it's well positioned through the way in which it's diversified its risk, particularly across Australia and New Zealand.
