RECONCILIATION OF OPERATING INCOME TO NET INCOME

(Amounts in thousands, except per share data)

Definition on Non-GAAP and Operating Measures

Management believes that investors’ understanding of the Company’s performance is enhanced by the disclosure of the following non-GAAP financial measure. The Company’s method of calculating this measure may differ from those used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited.

Operating income is net income excluding realized capital gains and losses and related federal income taxes. Equity in earnings or losses of Erie Family Life Insurance Company and equity in earnings or losses of limited partnerships are not excluded from the calculation of operating income. Both of these categories include the respective investment’s realized capital gains and losses, as well as unrealized gains and losses, as these investments are accounted for under the equity method.

Net income is the GAAP measure that is most directly comparable to operating income.

The Company uses operating income to evaluate the results of operations. It reveals trends in the Company’s management services, insurance underwriting and investment operations that may be obscured by the net effects of realized capital gains and losses. Realized capital gains and losses may vary significantly between periods and are generally driven by business decisions and economic developments such as capital market condition, the timing of which is unrelated to management services and the insurance underwriting processes of the Company. The Company believes it is useful for investors to evaluate these components separately and in the aggregate when reviewing the Company’s performance. The Company is aware that the price to earnings multiple commonly used by investors as a forward-looking valuation technique uses operating income as the denominator. Operating income should not be considered as a substitute for net income and does not reflect the overall profitability of the Company’s business.

The following table reconciles operating income and net income for the periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004:
