                               Syndicate Forecast


Beazley Furlonge, the Lloyd's managing agency owned by Beazley Group plc 
("Beazley"), confirms that the forecast results of its managed Lloyd's Syndicate 
623 in respect of the 2001 and 2002 years remain unchanged.

The forecast for 2001 remains breakeven, with the estimate for the World Trade
Center loss remaining at #100m gross and #20m net.  The 2002 forecast remains a
preliminary estimate and as there is still significant business on risk, this
forecast assumes a normal loss development pattern and no significant catastrophes.
