Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Participants and Administrator of
OneBeacon Insurance Savings Plan

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of OneBeacon Insurance Savings Plan (the “Plan”) at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) at December 31, 2005 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

OneBeacon Insurance Savings Plan

Notes to Financial Statements

A.           Description of the Plan

The following description of the OneBeacon Insurance Savings Plan (the “Plan”) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement and related amendments for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

General

The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering substantially all employees of OneBeacon Insurance Company (the “Company”).

On March 31, 2004, OneBeacon acquired Atlantic Specialty Insurance Company, a subsidiary of Atlantic Mutual Insurance Company (“Atlantic Mutual”), and the renewal rights to Atlantic Mutual’s segmented commercial insurance business, including the unearned premiums on the acquired book. Effective January 1, 2004, the Plan was amended to allow former Atlantic Mutual employees hired by OneBeacon to participate in the Plan.

Effective January 1, 2005, the Plan was amended to update the definition of a highly compensated employee and also to recognize prior service for vesting purposes for the First Media Insurance Specialists, Inc. acquisition, the acquisition of the renewal rights to the HPL and MCE&O business of Chubb Specialty and the sale of National Farmers Union Property and Casualty Company. The Plan was also amended to reduce the small balance cash out provision from $5,000 to $1,000, and to allow the Chief Executive Officer of OneBeacon or his/her designee to approve and execute technical changes to the plan.

The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).

Eligibility

Employees who complete sixty days of continuous service are eligible to participate in the Plan. Eligible employees are automatically enrolled in the Plan at a 2 percent employee contribution rate, unless waived by the employee.

Contributions

Effective January 1, 2003, participants could contribute 40 percent of annual compensation, as defined by the Plan Agreement on a pre-tax and/or an after-tax basis. Participants direct their contributions and employer contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. The Company contributes 50 percent of the first 6 percent of base compensation that a participant contributes to the Plan. The matching Company contribution mirrors the employee directed investment options. Eligible participants who attain age 50 before the end of the Plan year can make catch up contributions to the Plan. Contributions are subject to IRS limitations.

Employees hired between June 1, 2001 and April 11, 2003 have been provided with the equivalent of two common shares of White Mountains Insurance Group, Ltd. on the first day of the second month of the quarter following one year of service with the Company. No contributions were made to these employees in 2005. In 2004, the Company contributed

5




$491,797 to these employees. Contributions into the White Mountains Stock Fund can be immediately directed by the participant into another investment option.

Participant Accounts

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution and allocations of (a) the Company’s contribution (b) Plan earnings, net of an allocation of investment fees and (c) applicable loan fees. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.

Vesting

Participants are vested immediately in their contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company’s contribution portion of their accounts is based on years of continuous service. A participant is 100 percent vested after three years of credited service.

Forfeitures

Forfeitures are used to reduce future Company contributions. The balances as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, in the forfeiture account were $4,359 and $4,248, respectively. During 2005 and 2004, $496,376 and $562,635, respectively, of forfeited funds were used to offset employer contributions.

Participant Loans

Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $500 up to a maximum of $50,000 or 50 percent of their vested account balance, whichever is less. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant’s account and bear interest at the prime rate (7.25% and 5.25% at December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively) plus 1 percent as of the beginning of the month in which the loan was made.

Payment of Benefits

On termination of service due to death, disability, or retirement, a participant may elect to receive either a lump-sum amount equal to the value of the participant’s vested interest in his or her account, or annual installments over time. For termination of service for other reasons, a participant may only receive the value of the vested interest in his or her account as a lump-sum distribution.

Expenses

The Company paid the majority of administrative expenses, including all management fees relating to the Plan, except for certain administration and custodian fees paid by the Plan to Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company (“Vanguard”), the Trustee of the Plan, and Mellon Global Securities Services (“Mellon”), the custodian of some of the assets of the Plan. Fees paid to Vanguard and Mellon totaled $541,314 and $422,572 in 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Plan Termination

While the Company has not expressed any intent to discontinue their contributions or terminate the Plan, they are free to do so at any time. In the event the Plan is terminated, the Plan provides that each participant’s balance, inclusive of Company contributions, becomes immediately 100 percent vested and shall be distributed to the participants.

B.    Investment Options

During the plan years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, participants were able to allocate their contributions among various registered investment company options, a company stock fund and four specific Plan-sponsored funds comprised of stocks, bonds, government securities and guaranteed investment contracts as follows:

Columbia Mid-Cap Value Fund*

OneBeacon Equity Fund

OneBeacon Fixed Income Fund

OneBeacon Fully Managed Fund

OneBeacon Stable Value Fund

Vanguard 500 Index Fund Investor Shares

Vanguard Asset Allocation Fund Investor Shares

Vanguard Extended Market Index Fund Investor Shares

Vanguard High-Yield Corporate Fund Investor Shares

Vanguard International Growth Fund Investor Shares

Vanguard Long-Term Investment Grade Fund Investor Shares

Vanguard Morgan Growth Fund Investor Shares

Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund

Vanguard Selected Value Fund*

Vanguard Short-Term Investment Grade Fund Investor Shares

Vanguard Small-Cap Index Fund Investor Shares

Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund

Vanguard U.S. Growth Fund Investor Shares

Vanguard Wellington Fund Investor Shares

Vanguard Windsor Fund Investor Shares

Vanguard Windsor II Fund Investor Shares

White Mountains Stock Fund

 

*  Columbia Management announced on February 24, 2005 that the Columbia Mid-Cap Value Fund was being merged into another mid-cap fund. Consequently, the Columbia Mid-Cap Value Fund is no longer an investment option for the Plan participants. The Company added the Vanguard Selected Value Fund to replace the Columbia Mid-Cap Value Fund. Participants who did not change their investment option from Columbia Mid-Cap Value Fund were automatically enrolled in the Vanguard Selected Value Fund.

C.             Summary of Accounting Policies

The following accounting policies, which conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, have been used consistently in the preparation of the Plan’s financial statements and notes to the financial statements.

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of accounting.

7




Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of additions and deductions during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value, except for its investment contracts, which are valued at contract value which approximates fair value (Note E). Many factors are considered in arriving at that fair market value. In general, corporate bonds and U.S. government securities are valued based on yields currently available on comparable securities of issuers with similar credit ratings. Shares of company stock, preferred stock and common stock are valued at quoted market prices. Registered investment companies are valued at the net asset value as reported by the fund at year end. Units of common/collective trust funds are valued at the net asset value of the fund, as reported by Vanguard, on the last business day of the year. Participant loans are recorded at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value.

Purchases and sales are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

In accordance with the policy of stating investments at fair value, the Plan presents in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of its investments which consists of the realized gains or losses and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those investments.

Benefit Payments

Benefit payments are recorded when paid.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Plan provides various investment options in any combination of stocks, bonds, fixed income securities, registered investment companies, money market funds, and other investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, and a level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term would materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits and the Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications were made to the prior year financial statements to conform to current year presentation.

8




Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Staff Position Nos. AAG INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1, Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans. The FASB Staff Position (FSP) clarifies the definition of fully benefit-responsive investment contracts for contracts held by defined contribution plans. The FSP also establishes enhanced financial statement presentation and disclosure requirements for defined contribution plans subject to the FSP effective for financial statements for issued for periods ending after December 15, 2006.  Management intends to adopt the FSP in the Plan’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006. The effect of the FSP on the Plan’s financial statements is expected to include enhanced financial statement presentation and disclosure requirements.

E.    Investment Contracts (OneBeacon Insurance Stable Value Fund)

The Plan has entered into benefit-responsive investment contracts with Bank of America, GE Life and Annuity Insurance, IXIS, JP Morgan Chase Bank, Massachusetts Mutual, Metropolitan Life Insurance, Monumental Life Insurance Company, New York Life Insurance, Principal Financial Group, Rabobank Nederland, State Street Bank, Travelers, and also invests in the Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund. The Stable Value Fund is credited with earnings on the underlying investments and charged for participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. The contracts are included in the financial statements at contract value, which approximates fair value, as reported to the Plan by these institutions. Contract value represents contributions made under the contracts, plus earnings, less participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. The average yields during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were 4.28 percent and 4.48 percent, respectively. The crediting interest rates ranged from 3.55 percent to 4.58 percent and 2.65 percent to 7.13 percent at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The crediting interest rate on synthetic contracts is based on a formula agreed upon with the issuer, but may not be less than 0 percent. Such interest rates are reviewed on a quarterly basis for resetting.

Synthetic GICs represent individual assets placed in a trust, with ownership by the Plan, that also contain a third party issued benefit-responsive wrapper contract that guarantees that participant transactions are executed at contract value. Individual assets of the synthetic GICs are valued based on the policy in Note C. The value of the wrapper is the difference between the fair value of the underlying assets and the contract value. At December 31 2005 and 2004, the values of the wrappers were $527,454 and $(752,864), respectively.

F.              Related Party Transactions

The Plan invests in shares of mutual funds managed by an affiliate of Vanguard. Vanguard acts as trustee for only those investments as defined by the Plan. The Plan also has investments, which are managed by White Mountains Advisors LLC, an affiliate of the Company. Transactions in such investments qualify as party-in-interest transactions, which are exempt from the prohibited transaction rules. Participants’ loans also constitute party-in-interest transactions.

The Plan invests in the White Mountains Stock Fund (the “Fund”) which is comprised of common shares of White Mountains Insurance Group, Ltd. (the Parent Company) and small amounts of cash invested in the Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund. The share values of the Fund are recorded and maintained by Vanguard. During the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Plan purchased shares in the Fund in the amounts of $4,085,735 and $5,289,582, respectively; sold shares in the Fund of $4,584,999 and $3,242,290, respectively; had dividend earnings of $215,106 and $25,201; and had net appreciation/(depreciation) in the Fund of $(2,312,806) and $4,923,900 respectively. The total value of the Plan’s investment in the Fund was $14,686,764 and $17,532,825 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

10




 

G.             Tax Status

The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated January 16, 2002, that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”). The Plan has since been amended. However, management believes the Plan is designed and operates in accordance with the IRC, therefore, no provision for income taxes is required.
