The combined ratio for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was 99.7% compared to 92.9% for the comparable period in 2009. The increase in the loss ratios for the 2010 periods was partially due to the impact of reinstatement premiums on net earned premiums related to the Deepwater Horizon and West Atlas oil drilling rig losses. See Net Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses section below. In addition, there was favorable prior year reserve development of $5.3 million and $6.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to prior year favorable development of $9.5 million and $15.2 million for the comparable periods in 2009. The net paid loss and LAE ratio for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was 61.1% compared to 36.4% for the comparable period in 2009.
Cash flow from operations was $64.4 million for the first six months of 2010 compared to $69.5 million for the comparable period in 2009. This decrease was primarily due to a $64.0 million increase in paid losses as well as an overall decline in the operating results in the first six months of 2010 compared with the same period in 2009. Partially offsetting these declines was an increase in the cash flow due to improved collections on reinsurance recoverables in the first six months of 2010 compared with the same period in 2009.
Consolidated stockholders equity increased 1.6% to $814.7 million or $51.48 per share at June 30, 2010 compared to $801.5 million or $47.58 per share at December 31, 2009. The increase in stockholders equity was primarily due to net income and unrealized investment portfolio gains.
Gross written premiums decreased to $253.6 million and $523.7 million in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively compared to $272.7 million and $548.0 million in the 2009 comparable periods. The decrease in the 2010 second quarter and six month gross written premiums compared to 2009 was primarily due to the run-off of our personal umbrella lines as well as a continued decline in our construction liability lines in the Property Casualty business.
