                    FUND AMERICAN ENTERPRISES HOLDINGS, INC.

                    UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited pro forma financial information of Fund American
Enterprises Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Fund American") is being
presented in connection with Fund American's purchase, on August 18, 1998, of
all the outstanding common stock of Folksamerica Holding Company, Inc. and its
subsidiaries ("Folksamerica") that it did not previously own (the
"Transaction").

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement of Fund
American for the nine month period ended September 30, 1998 (the "pro forma
income statement") present the results for Fund American as if the Transaction
had occurred as of January 1, 1998. The pro forma income statement does not
purport to represent what Fund American's results of operations actually would
have been had the Transaction in fact occurred as of the date indicated, or to
project Fund American's results of operations for any future date or period. The
pro forma adjustments are based on available information and certain assumptions
that Fund American currently believes are reasonable under the circumstances.
The unaudited pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction
with: (i) Fund American's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1997; (ii) Fund American's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and
nine month periods ended September 30, 1998; (iii) the separate historical
financial statements of Folksamerica as of June 30, 1998 and for the three and
six month periods ended June 30, 1998 (previously filed); and (iv) the separate
historical financial statements of Folksamerica as of December 31, 1997 and 1996
and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997
(previously filed).

The pro forma adjustments and pro forma combined amounts are provided for
informational purposes only. Fund American's financial statements will reflect
the actual effects of the Transaction only from the date the Transaction
occurred. The pro forma adjustments contained herein assume that the tax rate is
35%, the maximum Federal statutory rate for corporations.

                                INCOME STATEMENT
                            (in millions of dollars)



     A.  Pro forma adjustment to eliminate Folksamerica's results of operations
         for the period from August 18, 1998 to September 30, 1998, the period
         during which Folksamerica was a consolidated subsidiary of Fund
         American.

     B.  Pro forma adjustment to eliminate Fund American's equity in earnings of
         Folksamerica and preferred stock dividends received from January 1,
         1998 to September 30, 1998.

     C.  Pro forma adjustment to reflect a reduction in net investment income
         earned on the portion of short-term investment balances deemed to have
         partially financed the Transaction ($27.0 million). The consolidated
         pro forma income information assumes that the annualized yield on
         short-term investments used to partially fund the Transaction was 5.50%
         for the period from January 1, 1998 to August 18, 1998.

     D.  Pro forma adjustment to reflect additional interest expense associated
         with the monies borrowed under Fund American's existing debt
         arrangements ($50.0 million) to partially fund the Transaction. The
         consolidated pro forma income information assumes that the annualized
         applicable interest rate on such indebtedness was 6.04% for the period
         from January 1, 1998 to August 18, 1998.

     E.  Pro forma adjustment to reflect the amortization of the net change in
         goodwill and the related incremental deferred credit associated with
         the Transaction ($7.9 million) for the period from January 1, 1998 to
         August 18, 1998. Fund American's amortization period is expected to be
         five years.

     F.  Adjustment to reflect the income tax effects of B, C and D above.
