1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

American International Group, Inc. (AIG) is a leading international insurance organization serving customers in more than 130 countries. AIG companies serve commercial, institutional and individual customers through one of the most extensive worldwide property-casualty networks of any insurer. In addition, AIG companies are leading providers of life insurance and retirement services in the United States. AIG Common Stock, par value $2.50 per share (AIG Common Stock), is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The United States Department of the Treasury (Department of the Treasury) owned approximately 15.9 percent of AIG Common Stock outstanding as of September 30, 2012. See Note 10 herein for additional information on the Department of the Treasury's ownership of AIG Common Stock and the registered public offerings of AIG Common Stock initiated by the Department of the Treasury in 2012.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures that are normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of American International Group, Inc. (AIG) for the year ended December 31, 2011, as amended by Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2 on Forms 10-K/A filed on February 27, 2012 and March 30, 2012, respectively, and as updated by AIG's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 4, 2012 (collectively, the 2011 Annual Report). The condensed consolidated financial information as of December 31, 2011 included herein has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements in the 2011 Annual Report not included herein.

Certain of AIG's foreign subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements report on different fiscal-period bases. The effect on AIG's consolidated financial condition and results of operations of all material events occurring at these subsidiaries through the date of each of the periods presented in these financial statements has been recorded.

In the opinion of management, these consolidated financial statements contain the normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results presented herein. Interim period operating results may not be indicative of the operating results for a full year. AIG evaluated the need to recognize or disclose events that occurred subsequent to September 30, 2012 and prior to the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Revisions to Prior Year Financial Statements

 

On January 1, 2012, AIG retrospectively adopted a standard that changed its method of accounting for costs associated with acquiring or renewing insurance contracts. See Note 2 herein for additional details, including a summary of revisions to prior year financial statements.

To align the presentation of changes in the fair value of derivatives with changes in the administration of AIG's derivatives portfolio, changes were made to the presentation within the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Specifically, amounts attributable to derivative activity where AIG Financial Products Corp. and AIG Trading Group Inc. and their respective subsidiaries (collectively, AIGFP) executed transactions with third parties on behalf of AIG subsidiaries have been reclassified from Other income to Net realized capital gains (losses). Additionally, certain other items have been reclassified within the Consolidated Statement of Operations in the current period. Prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the application of accounting policies that often involve a significant degree of judgment. AIG considers its accounting policies that are most dependent on the

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

application of estimates and assumptions to be those relating to items considered by management in the determination of:

income tax assets and liabilities, including the recoverability of deferred tax assets and the predictability of future tax planning strategies and operating profitability of the character necessary for their realization;

recoverability of assets, including deferred policy acquisition costs (DAC), flight equipment, and reinsurance;

insurance liabilities, including general insurance unpaid claims and claims adjustment expenses and future policy benefits for life and accident and health contracts;

estimated gross profits for investment-oriented products;

impairment charges, including other-than-temporary impairments of financial instruments and goodwill impairments;

liabilities for legal contingencies; and

fair value measurements of certain financial assets and liabilities.

These accounting estimates require the use of assumptions about matters, some of which are highly uncertain at the time of estimation. To the extent actual experience differs from the assumptions used, AIG's consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially affected.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Recent Accounting Standards

 

Future Application of Accounting Standards

 

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an accounting standard that allows a company the option to first assess qualitatively whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. A company is not required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test unless the company determines it is more likely than not the asset is impaired.

The standard is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. A company can choose to early adopt the standard. AIG intends to adopt the standard on its required effective date of January 1, 2013. AIG does not expect adoption of the standard to have a material effect on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Accounting Standards Adopted During 2012

 

AIG adopted the following accounting standards on January 1, 2012:

Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts

 

In October 2010, the FASB issued an accounting standard update that amends the accounting for costs incurred by insurance companies that can be capitalized in connection with acquiring or renewing insurance contracts. The standard clarifies how to determine whether the costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of new or renewal insurance contracts qualify as DAC. AIG adopted the standard retrospectively on January 1, 2012.

Policy acquisition costs represent those costs that are incremental and directly related to the successful acquisition of new or renewal insurance contracts. AIG defers incremental costs that result directly from, and are essential to, the acquisition or renewal of an insurance contract. Such costs generally include agent or broker commissions and bonuses, premium taxes, and medical and inspection fees that would not have been incurred if the insurance

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

contract had not been acquired or renewed. Each cost is analyzed to assess whether it is fully deferrable. AIG partially defers costs, including certain commissions, when it does not believe the entire cost is directly related to the acquisition or renewal of insurance contracts.

AIG also defers a portion of employee total compensation and payroll-related fringe benefits directly related to time spent performing specific acquisition or renewal activities, including costs associated with the time spent on underwriting, policy issuance and processing, and sales force contract selling. The amounts deferred are derived based on successful efforts for each distribution channel and/or cost center from which the cost originates.

Advertising costs related to the issuance of insurance contracts that meet the direct-advertising criteria are deferred and amortized as part of deferred policy acquisition costs.

The method AIG uses to amortize deferred policy acquisition costs for either short- or long-duration insurance contracts did not change as a result of the adoption of the standard.

The adoption of the standard resulted in a reduction to beginning of period retained earnings for the earliest period presented and a decrease in the amount of capitalized costs in connection with the acquisition or renewal of insurance contracts. Accordingly, AIG revised its historical financial statements and accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements for the changes in deferred policy acquisition costs and associated changes in acquisition expenses and income taxes for affected entities and segments, including divested entities presented in continuing and discontinued operations.

The following tables present amounts previously reported in 2011, the effect of the change due to the retrospective adoption of the standard, and the adjusted amounts that are reflected in AIG's consolidated financial statements.

For short-duration insurance contracts, starting in 2012, AIG elected to include anticipated investment income in its determination of whether the deferred policy acquisition costs are recoverable. AIG believes the inclusion of anticipated investment income in the recoverability analysis is a preferable accounting policy because it includes in the recoverability analysis the fact that there is a timing difference between when the premiums are collected and in turn invested and when the losses and related expenses are paid. This is considered a change in accounting principle that required retrospective application to all periods presented. Because AIG historically has not recorded any premium deficiency on its short-duration insurance contracts even without the inclusion of anticipated investment income, there were no changes to the historical financial statements for the change in accounting principle.

Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements

 

In April 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard that amends the criteria used to determine effective control for repurchase agreements and other similar arrangements such as securities lending transactions. The standard modifies the criteria for determining when these transactions would be accounted for as secured borrowings (i.e., financings) instead of sales of the securities.

The standard removes from the assessment of effective control the requirement that the transferor have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee. The removal of this requirement makes the level of collateral received by the transferor in a repurchase agreement or similar arrangement irrelevant in determining whether the transaction should be accounted for as a sale. As a consequence, more repurchase agreements, securities lending transactions and similar arrangements will be accounted for as secured borrowings.

The guidance in the standard must be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after January 1, 2012. Under this standard, there are no repurchase agreements that continue to be accounted for as sales as of September 30, 2012. Any modifications to these transactions that occur subsequent to adoption will result in an assessment of whether they should be accounted for as secured borrowings under the standard. As of September 30, 2012, there were no such modifications subsequent to the adoption of the standard.

Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in GAAP and IFRS

 

In May 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard that amended certain aspects of the fair value measurement guidance in GAAP, primarily to achieve the FASB's objective of a converged definition of fair value and substantially converged measurement and disclosure guidance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The measurement and disclosure requirements under GAAP and IFRS are now generally consistent, with certain exceptions including the accounting for day one gains and losses, measuring the fair value of alternative investments using net asset value and certain disclosure requirements.

The standard's fair value measurement and disclosure guidance applies to all companies that measure assets, liabilities, or instruments classified in shareholders' equity at fair value or provide fair value disclosures for items not recorded at fair value. The guidance clarifies existing guidance on the application of fair value measurements, changes certain principles or requirements for measuring fair value, and requires significant additional disclosures for Level 3 valuation inputs. The new disclosure requirements were applied prospectively. The standard became effective beginning on January 1, 2012. The standard did not have any effect on AIG's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. See Note 4 herein.

Presentation of Comprehensive Income

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard that requires the presentation of comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In the two-statement approach, the first statement should present total net income and its components, followed consecutively by a second statement that presents total other comprehensive income and its components. The standard became effective beginning January 1, 2012 with retrospective application required. The standard did not have any effect on AIG's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Testing Goodwill for Impairment

 

In September 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard that amends the approach to testing goodwill for impairment. The standard simplifies how entities test goodwill for impairment by permitting an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative, two-step goodwill impairment test. The standard became effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of the standard did not have any effect on AIG's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

3. SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

Commencing in the third quarter of 2012, the Chartis segment was renamed AIG Property Casualty and the SunAmerica segment was renamed AIG Life and Retirement, although certain existing brands will continue to be used.

AIG reports the results of its operations through three reportable segments: AIG Property Casualty, AIG Life and Retirement and Aircraft Leasing. AIG evaluates performance based on pre-tax income (loss), excluding results from discontinued operations, because AIG believes this provides more meaningful information on how its operations are performing.

Effective during the first quarter of 2012, in order to align financial reporting with the manner in which AIG's chief operating decision makers review the AIG Property Casualty businesses to assess performance and make decisions about resources to be allocated, certain products previously reported in Commercial Insurance were reclassified to

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis

 

AIG carries certain of its financial instruments at fair value. AIG defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2011 Annual Report for a discussion of AIG's accounting policies and procedures regarding fair value measurements related to the following information.

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheet are measured and classified in accordance with a fair value hierarchy consisting of three "levels" based on the observability of inputs available in the marketplace used to measure the fair values as discussed below:

Level 1:  Fair value measurements that are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that AIG has the ability to access for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2:  Fair value measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3:  Fair value measurements based on valuation techniques that use significant inputs that are unobservable. Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair values of positions classified in Level 3. The circumstances for using these measurements include those in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. Therefore, AIG must make certain assumptions as to the inputs a hypothetical market participant would use to value that asset or liability.

Transfers of Level 1 and Level 2 Assets and Liabilities

 

AIG's policy is to record transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 at their fair values as of the end of each reporting period, consistent with the date of the determination of fair value. Assets are transferred out of Level 1 when they are no longer transacted with sufficient frequency and volume in an active market. Conversely, assets are transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 when transaction volume and frequency are indicative of an active market. During the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, AIG transferred $148 million and $284 million of securities issued by Non-U.S. government entities from Level 1 to Level 2, respectively, as they are no longer considered actively traded. For similar reasons, during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, AIG transferred $743 million of securities issued by the U.S. government and government-sponsored entities from Level 1 to Level 2. AIG had no material transfers from Level 2 to Level 1 during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012.

Changes in Level 3 Recurring Fair Value Measurements

 

The following tables present changes during the three-and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 in Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, and the realized and unrealized gains (losses) related to the Level 3 assets and liabilities that remained in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2012 and 2011:
