1Personal auto insurance accounted for 92% of the total Personal Lines segment net premiums earned in both the second quarter and first six months of 2014, compared to 91% for the same periods last year; insurance for our special lines products (e.g., motorcycles, ATVs, RVs, mobile homes, watercraft, and snowmobiles) accounted for the balance of the Personal Lines net premiums earned.
2Pretax profit (loss) for fees and other revenues are allocated to operating segments.
3Revenues represent recurring investment income and total net realized gains (losses) on securities; pretax profit is net of investment expenses.

1Underwriting margins and combined ratios are not meaningful (NM) for our other indemnity businesses due to the low level of premiums earned by, and the variability of loss costs in, such businesses.
