Michael H. Lee, President and Chief Executive Officer of Tower Group, Inc., stated, "During the quarter, we continued to profitably grow our brokerage business by successfully incorporating our Hermitage business and continuing to expand geographically. Our growth was also driven by expansion into the specialty business that we acquired from CastlePoint. In addition to the strong operating results, we also experienced substantial unrealized gains in our investment portfolio which left us with only $7 million of net unrealized losses for a portfolio of $1.6 billion in investments and cash. Finally, the recently announced acquisition of Specialty Underwriters' Alliance is proceeding as anticipated and is expected to close sometime during the fourth quarter. We are currently working closely with the SUA management team to provide their producers with access to Tower's capabilities, which Tower and SUA believe will be mutually beneficial."

Gross premiums written increased to $260.7 million in the second quarter, a 57.1% increase compared to the second quarter of 2008.
Total revenues increased 138.8% to $255 million in the second quarter of 2009 as compared to $106.8 million in the prior year's second quarter. Net premiums earned represented 90% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to 65.7% for the same period in 2008.
Total commission and fee income decreased 78.9% to $7.7 million in the second quarter of 2009 compared to $36.3 million in the second quarter of 2008. This was due to the closing of the CastlePoint transaction during the first quarter, after which Tower Risk Management ceased producing business on behalf of CastlePoint Insurance Company. Tower did not cede any brokerage business in 2009, and ceding commission revenue earned from CastlePoint Reinsurance was eliminated during the second quarter.
Net investment income increased by 108.2% to $17.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $8.4 million for the same period in 2008. On a tax equivalent basis, the yield was 5.7% as of June 30, 2009 compared to 5.4% as of June 30, 2008. The higher yield is due to the acquisition of CastlePoint, whose investment portfolio had a market yield, excluding cash, on the date of acquisition of 7%. CastlePoint's investment portfolio's market yield became Tower's book yield due to business combination accounting rules.
Net realized investment gains were $0.4 million for the three month period ending June 30, 2009 compared to losses of $8 million for the same period last year. Realized capital gains in 2009 were primarily from opportunistic sales of CMBS securities, where yield spreads narrowed, as well as sales of preferred stocks, primarily in the banking sector, to reduce the Company's overall exposure in this sector. Included in the second quarter net realized investment gains are approximately $4.1 million of other-than-temporarily impaired losses relating to certain structured securities and impairment of CIT Group, Inc. securities.
Operating expenses were $84 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $52.2 million for the same period in 2008.
For the Brokerage Insurance Segment, premiums on renewed business increased 2.8% in personal lines and decreased 0.8% in commercial lines, resulting in an overall increase of 0.4% during the second quarter of 2009. The retention rate on brokerage business was 91% for personal lines and 82% for commercial lines, resulting in a retention rate of 88% for all lines during the second quarter of 2009. Brokerage insurance premiums earned continued to increase, primarily due to the acquisitions of CastlePoint and Hermitage on February 5, 2009 and February 27, 2009, respectively, which added $80.8 million in net premiums earned for the three months ended June 30, 2009.
The Specialty Business Segment consisted of program business written in Tower insurance subsidiaries, program business written in CastlePoint Insurance Company and reinsurance business written in CastlePoint Re. The increase in specialty business premium earned resulted primarily from the acquisition of CastlePoint, which added $41.3 million of net premiums earned for the three months ended June 30, 2009.

The Company's Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.07 per share payable September 25, 2009 to stockholders of record as of September 14, 2009.

Notes on Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(1) Operating income is a common performance measurement for insurance companies and excludes realized investment gains or losses and expenses related to the adoption of FAS No. 141R, Business Combinations. We believe this presentation enhances the understanding of our results of operations by highlighting the underlying profitability of our insurance business. The Federal statutory tax rate of 35% was used to calculate the tax applicable to net realized gains or losses on investments and tax deductible acquisition related transaction costs. Operating earnings per share is operating income divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Operating return on equity is annualized operating income divided by average common stockholders' equity.
(2) Gross premiums written through our insurance subsidiaries and produced as managing general agent on behalf of other insurance companies.
(3) During the first quarter, $7.3 million of the acquisition related transaction costs were not deemed deductible for tax purposes. The tax rate used to calculate the acquisition related transaction costs that were tax deductible was 35%. During the second quarter, $868 thousand of tax benefit related to acquisition related transaction costs were realized and excluded from operating income.
