Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do
not include all disclosures required by accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for complete
financial statements 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, 2007 (2007 Annual Report on
Form 10-K).
In the opinion of management, these consolidated financial
statements contain the normal recurring adjustments necessary
for a fair statement of the results presented herein. All
material intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated.
Certain reclassifications and format changes have been made to
prior period amounts to conform to the current period
presentation.
Recent Accounting Standards
Accounting Changes
FAS 157
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(FAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements
(FAS 157). FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure
requirements regarding fair value measurements but does not
change existing guidance about whether an asset or liability is
carried at fair value. FAS 157 nullifies the guidance in
Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue
No. 02-3,
Issues Involved in Accounting for Derivative Contracts
Held for Trading Purposes and Contracts Involved in Energy
Trading and Risk Management Activities, (EITF 02-3) that
precluded the recognition of a trading profit at the inception
of a derivative contract unless the fair value of such contract
was obtained from a quoted market price or other valuation
technique incorporating observable market data. FAS 157 also
clarifies that an issuers credit standing should be
considered when measuring liabilities at fair value. The fair
value measurement and related disclosure guidance in
FAS 157 do not apply to fair value measurements associated
with AIGs share-based employee compensation awards
accounted for in accordance with FAS 123(R),
Share-Based Payment.
AIG adopted FAS 157 on January 1, 2008, its required
effective date. FAS 157 must be applied prospectively,
except for certain stand-alone derivatives and hybrid
instruments initially measured using the guidance in EITF 02-3,
which must be applied as a cumulative effect accounting change
to retained earnings at January 1, 2008. The cumulative
effect, net of taxes, of adopting FAS 157 on AIGs
consolidated balance sheet was an increase in retained earnings
of $4 million.
The most significant effect of adopting FAS 157 on AIGs
first quarter 2008 results related to changes in fair value
methodologies with respect to both liabilities already carried
at fair value, primarily hybrid notes and derivatives, and newly
elected liabilities measured at fair value (see FAS 159
discussion below). Specifically, the incorporation of AIGs
own credit spreads and the incorporation of explicit risk
margins (embedded policy derivatives only) resulted in an
increase of $2.8 billion to pre-tax income
($1.8 billion after tax) for the first three months of
2008. The total increase in pre-tax income attributable to
changes in AIGs own credit spreads of $2,648 million
for AIG Financial Products Corp. and AIG Trading Group Inc. and
their respective subsidiaries (collectively, AIGFP) was
substantially offset by the effect of changes in counterparty
credit spreads for assets measured at fair value at AIGFP of
$2,620 million.
See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for
additional FAS 157 disclosures.
FAS 159
In February 2007, the FASB issued FAS 159, The Fair Value
Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (FAS
159). FAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure at fair
value many financial instruments and certain other items that
are not required to be measured at fair value. Subsequent
changes in fair value for designated items are required to be
reported in income. FAS 159 also establishes presentation
and disclosure requirements for similar types of assets and
liabilities measured at fair value. FAS 159 permits the
fair value option election on an instrument-by-instrument basis
for eligible items existing at the adoption date and at initial
recognition of an asset or liability or upon an event that gives
rise to a new basis of accounting for that instrument.
AIG adopted FAS 159 on January 1, 2008, its required
effective date. The adoption of FAS 159 with respect to
elections made in the Life Insurance & Retirement
Services segment resulted in an after-tax decrease to 2008
opening retained earnings of $559 million. The adoption of
FAS 159 with respect to elections made by AIGFP resulted in
an after-tax decrease to 2008 opening retained earnings of
$448 million. Included in this amount are net unrealized
gains of $105 million that were reclassified to retained
earnings from accumulated other comprehensive income
(loss) related to available for sale securities recorded on
the consolidated balance sheet at January 1, 2008 for which
the fair value option was elected.
See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for
additional FAS 159 disclosures.

FIN 39-1
In April 2007, the FASB directed the FASB Staff to issue FSP
No. FIN 39-1,
Amendment of FASB Interpretation No. 39 (FSP
FIN 39-1). FSP
FIN 39-1 modifies
FIN No. 39, Offsetting of Amounts Related to
Certain Contracts, and permits companies to offset cash
collateral receivables or payables against derivative
instruments under certain circumstances. FSP
FIN 39-1 became
effective on January 1, 2008 for AIG. Consistent with prior
practice, AIG elected not to offset cash collateral receivables
or payables against derivative instruments. At March 31,
2008, the amounts of cash collateral received and paid were
$8.7 billion and $7.2 billion, respectively.
Future Application of Accounting Standards
FAS 141(R)
In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS 141 (revised 2007),
Business Combinations (FAS 141(R)).
FAS 141(R) changes the accounting for business combinations
in a number of ways, including broadening the transactions or
events that are considered business combinations; requiring an
acquirer to recognize 100 percent of the fair value of
assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling (i.e.,
minority) interests; recognizing contingent consideration
arrangements at their acquisition-date fair values with
subsequent changes in fair value generally reflected in income;
and recognizing preacquisition loss and gain contingencies at
their acquisition-date fair values, among other changes.
AIG is required to adopt FAS 141(R) for business combinations
for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1,
2009. Early adoption is prohibited.
FAS 160
In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS 160,
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial
Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51
(FAS 160). FAS 160 requires noncontrolling (i.e.,
minority) interests in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries
to be classified in the consolidated balance sheet as a separate
component of consolidated shareholders equity. FAS 160
also establishes accounting rules for subsequent acquisitions
and sales of noncontrolling interests and how noncontrolling
interests should be presented in the consolidated statement of
income. The noncontrolling interests share of subsidiary
income should be reported as a part of consolidated net income
with disclosure of the attribution of consolidated net income to
the controlling and noncontrolling interests on the face of the
consolidated statement of income.
FAS 160 is required to be adopted by AIG on January 1,
2009 and early adoption is prohibited. FAS 160 must be
adopted prospectively, except that noncontrolling interests
should be reclassified from liabilities to a separate component
of shareholders equity and consolidated net income should
be recast to include net income attributable to both the
controlling and noncontrolling interests retrospectively. Had
AIG adopted FAS 160 at March 31, 2008, AIG would have
reclassified $10.8 billion of noncontrolling (i.e.,
minority) interests from liabilities to shareholders
equity. Additionally, both consolidated net income
(loss) and consolidated comprehensive income
(loss) for the three-month periods ended March 31,
2008 and 2007 would have increased by $78 million and
$316 million, respectively, to include the net income
(loss) attributed to the noncontrolling interests.
FAS 161
In March 2008, the FASB issued FAS 161, Disclosures about
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an
amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (FAS 161). FAS
161 requires enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why AIG
uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments
and related hedged items are accounted for under
FAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities (FAS 133), and its
related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments
and related hedged items affect AIGs consolidated
financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. FAS
161 is effective for AIG beginning with financial statements
issued in the first quarter of 2009. Because FAS 161 only
requires additional disclosures about derivatives, it will have
no effect on AIGs consolidated financial condition,
results of operations or cash flows.

Fair Value Measurements |
Effective January 1, 2008 AIG adopted FAS 157 and
FAS 159, which specify measurement and disclosure standards
related to assets and liabilities measured at fair value. See
Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for
additional information.
The most significant effect of adopting FAS 157 on AIGs
first quarter 2008 results related to changes in fair value
methodologies with respect to both liabilities already carried
at fair value, primarily hybrid notes and derivatives, and newly
elected liabilities measured at fair value (see FAS 159
discussion below). Specifically, the incorporation of AIGs
own credit spreads and the incorporation of explicit risk
margins (embedded policy derivatives only) resulted in an
increase of $2.8 billion to pre-tax income
($1.8 billion after tax) for the first three months of 2008

AIGFP was substantially offset by the effect of changes in
counterparty credit spreads for assets measured at fair value at
AIGFP of $2,620 million. |
Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis
AIG measures at fair value on a recurring basis financial
instruments in its trading and available for sale securities
portfolios, certain mortgage and other loans receivable, certain
spot commodities, derivative assets and liabilities, securities
purchased (sold) under agreements to resell (repurchase),
securities lending invested collateral, non-traded equity
investments included in other invested assets, certain
short-term investments, separate and variable account assets,
certain policyholders contract deposits, securities and
spot commodities sold but not yet purchased, certain trust
deposits and deposits due to banks and other depositors, certain
long-term borrowings, and certain hybrid financial instruments
included in other liabilities. The fair value of a financial
instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset
or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date.
The degree of judgment used in measuring the fair value of
financial instruments generally correlates with the level of
pricing observability. Financial instruments with quoted prices
in active markets generally have more pricing observability and
less judgment is used in measuring fair value. Conversely,
financial instruments traded in other-than-active markets or
that do not have quoted prices have less observability and are
measured at fair value using valuation models or other pricing
techniques that require more judgment. Pricing observability is
affected by a number of factors, including the type of financial
instrument, whether the financial instrument is new to the
market and not yet established, the characteristics specific to
the transaction and general market conditions.
Fixed Maturities Trading and Available for
Sale
AIG maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use
of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Whenever
available, AIG obtains quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets at the balance sheet date to measure at fair
value fixed maturity instruments in its trading and available
for sale portfolios. Market price data generally is obtained
from exchange or dealer markets.
AIG estimates the fair value of fixed maturity instruments not
traded in active markets, including securities purchased
(sold) under agreements to resell (repurchase), and
mortgage and other loans receivable for which AIG elected the
fair value option, by referring to traded securities with
similar attributes, using dealer quotations and a matrix pricing
methodology, or discounted cash flow analyses. This methodology
considers such factors as the issuers industry, the
securitys rating and tenor, its coupon rate, its position
in the capital structure of the issuer, yield curves, credit
curves, prepayment rates and other relevant factors. For fixed
maturity instruments that are not traded in active markets or
that are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations are
adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, and
such adjustments generally are based on available market
evidence. In the absence of such evidence, managements
best estimate is used.

Fair Value
Measurements (continued) |
Equity Securities Traded in Active Markets
Trading and Available for Sale
AIG maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use
of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Whenever
available, AIG obtains quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets at the balance sheet date to measure at fair
value marketable equity securities in its trading and available
for sale portfolios. Market price data generally is obtained
from exchange or dealer markets.
Direct Private Equity Securities Not Traded in Active
Markets Other Invested Assets
AIG initially estimates the fair value of equity instruments not
traded in active markets by reference to the transaction price.
This valuation is adjusted only when changes to inputs and
assumptions are corroborated by evidence such as transactions in
similar instruments, completed or pending third-party
transactions in the underlying investment or comparable
entities, subsequent rounds of financing, recapitalizations and
other transactions across the capital structure, offerings in
the equity capital markets, and changes in financial ratios or
cash flows. For equity securities that are not traded in active
markets or that are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations
are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability
and such adjustments generally are based on available market
evidence. In the absence of such evidence, managements
best estimate is used. AIG initially estimates the fair value of
investments in private limited partnerships and hedge funds by
reference to the transaction price. Subsequently, AIG obtains
the fair value of these investments generally from net asset
value information provided by the general partner or manager of
the investments, the financial statements of which generally are
audited annually.
Separate and Variable Account Assets
Separate and variable account assets are composed primarily of
registered and unregistered open-end mutual funds that generally
trade daily and are measured at fair value in the manner
discussed above for equity securities traded in active markets.
Freestanding Derivatives
Derivative assets and liabilities can be exchange-traded or
traded over the counter (OTC). AIG generally values
exchange-traded derivatives within portfolios using models that
calibrate to market clearing levels and eliminate timing
differences between the closing price of the exchange-traded
derivatives and their underlying instruments.
OTC derivatives are valued using market transactions and other
market evidence whenever possible, including market-based inputs
to models, model calibration to market clearing transactions,
broker or dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources with
reasonable levels of price transparency. When models are used,
the selection of a particular model to value an OTC derivative
depends on the contractual terms of, and specific risks inherent
in, the instrument as well as the availability of pricing
information in the market. AIG generally uses similar models to
value similar instruments. Valuation models require a variety of
inputs, including contractual terms, market prices and rates,
yield curves, credit curves, measures of volatility, prepayment
rates and correlations of such inputs. For OTC derivatives that
trade in liquid markets, such as generic forwards, swaps and
options, model inputs can generally be corroborated by
observable market data by correlation or other means, and model
selection does not involve significant management judgment.
Certain OTC derivatives trade in less liquid markets with
limited pricing information, and the determination of fair value
for these derivatives is inherently more difficult. When AIG
does not have corroborating market evidence to support
significant model inputs and cannot verify the model to market
transactions, the transaction price is initially used as the
best estimate of fair value. Accordingly, when a pricing model
is used to value such an instrument, the model is adjusted so
the model value at inception equals the transaction price.
Subsequent to initial recognition, AIG updates valuation inputs
when corroborated by evidence such as similar market
transactions, third-party pricing services and/or broker or
dealer quotations, or other empirical market data. When
appropriate, valuations are adjusted for various factors such as
liquidity, bid/offer spreads and credit considerations. Such
adjustments are generally based on available market evidence. In
the absence of such evidence, managements best estimate is
used.
With the adoption of FAS 157 on January 1, 2008, AIGs
own credit risk has been considered and is incorporated into the
fair value measurement of all freestanding derivative
liabilities.
Embedded Policy Derivatives
The fair value of embedded policy derivatives contained in
certain variable annuity and equity-indexed annuity and life
contracts is measured based on actuarial and capital market
assumptions related to projected cash flows over the expected
lives of the contracts. These cash flow estimates primarily
include benefits and related fees assessed, when applicable, and
incorporate expectations about policyholder behavior. Estimates
of future policyholder behavior are subjective and based
primarily on AIGs historical experience. With respect to
embedded policy derivatives in AIGs variable annuity
contracts, because of the dynamic and complex nature of the
expected
12
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (unaudited)

American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
|
|

Fair Value
Measurements (continued) |
cash flows, risk neutral valuations are used. Estimating the
underlying cash flows for these products involves many estimates
and judgments, including those regarding expected market rates
of return, market volatility, correlations of market index
returns to funds, fund performance, discount rates and
policyholder behavior. With respect to embedded policy
derivatives in AIGs equity-indexed annuity and life
contracts, option pricing models are used to estimate fair
value, taking into account assumptions for future equity indexed
growth rates, volatility of the equity index, future interest
rates, and determination on adjusting the participation rate and
the cap on equity indexed credited rates in light of market
conditions and policyholder behavior assumptions. With the
adoption of FAS 157, these methodologies were not changed, with
the exception of incorporating an explicit risk margin to take
into consideration market participant estimates of projected
cash flows and policyholder behavior.
AIGFPs Super Senior Credit Default Swap Portfolio
AIGFP values its credit default swaps written on the most senior
risk layers (super senior) of designated pools of debt
securities or loans using internal valuation models, third-
party prices and market indices. The specific valuation
methodologies vary based on the nature of the referenced
obligations and availability of market prices. AIGFP uses a
modified version of the Binomial Expansion Technique
(BET) model to value its credit default swap portfolio
written on super senior tranches of collateralized debt
obligations (CDOs), including maturity-shortening puts that
allow the holders of the securities issued by certain CDOs to
treat the securities as short-term eligible
2a-7 investments under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (2a-7 Puts). The BET model
uses default probabilities derived from credit spreads implied
from market prices for the individual securities included in the
underlying collateral pools securing the CDOs, as well as
diversity scores, weighted average lives, recovery rates and
discount rates. The determination of some of these inputs
requires the use of judgment and estimates, particularly in the
absence of market observable data. AIGFP also employs a Monte
Carlo simulation to assist in quantifying the effect on the
valuation of the CDOs of the unique aspects of the CDOs
structures such as triggers that divert cash flows to the most
senior part of the capital structure. In the determination of
fair value, AIGFP also considers collateral calls and the price
estimates for the super senior CDO securities provided by third
parties, including counterparties to these transactions.
In the case of credit default swaps written on investment-grade
corporate debt and collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), AIGFP
estimates the value of its obligations by reference to the
relevant market indices or third-party quotes on the underlying
super senior tranches where available.
In the case of credit default swaps written to facilitate
regulatory capital relief for AIGFPs European financial
institution counterparties, AIGFP estimates the fair value of
these derivatives by considering observable market transactions,
including the early termination of these transactions by
counterparties, and other market data, to the extent relevant.
Policyholders Contract Deposits
Policyholders contract deposits accounted for at fair
value beginning January 1, 2008 are measured using an
income approach by taking into consideration the following
factors:
|
|
|
Current policyholder account values and related surrender
charges, |
|
|
The present value of estimated future cash inflows (policy fees)
and outflows (benefits and maintenance expenses) associated with
the product using risk neutral valuations, incorporating
expectations about policyholder behavior, market returns and
other factors, and |
|
|
A risk margin that market participants would require for a
market return and the uncertainty inherent in the model inputs. |
The change in fair value of these policyholders contract
deposits is recorded as incurred policy losses and benefits in
the consolidated statement of income (loss).
Fair Value Measurements on a Non-Recurring Basis
AIG also measures the fair value of certain assets on a
non-recurring basis, generally quarterly, annually, or when
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of the asset may not be recoverable. These assets include
held to maturity securities, cost and equity-method investments,
life settlement contracts, aircraft, collateral securing
foreclosed loans and real estate and other fixed assets,
goodwill, and other intangible assets. AIG uses a variety of
techniques to measure the fair value of these assets when
appropriate, as described below:
|
|
|
Held to Maturity Securities, Cost and Equity-Method
Investments: When AIG determines the carrying value of these
assets may not be recoverable, AIG records the assets at fair
value with the loss recognized in income. In such cases, AIG
measures the fair value of these assets using the techniques
discussed above for fixed maturities and equity securities. |
|
|
Life Settlement Contracts: AIG measures the fair value of
individual life settlement contracts (which are included in
other invested assets) whenever the carrying value plus the
undiscounted future costs that are expected to be incurred to
keep the life settlement contract in force exceed the expected
proceeds from the contract. In those situations, the fair value
is determined on a discounted cash flows basis, incorporating
current life expectancy assumptions. |

Fair Value
Measurements (continued) |
|
|
|
The discount rate incorporates
current information about market interest rates, the credit
exposure to the insurance company that issued the life
settlement contract and AIGs estimate of the risk margin
an investor in the contracts would require.
|
|
|
Flight Equipment Primarily
Under Operating
Leases: When AIG
determines the carrying value of its commercial aircraft may not
be recoverable, AIG records the aircraft at fair value with the
loss recognized in income. AIG measures the fair value of its
commercial aircraft using an income approach based on the
present value of all cash flows from existing and projected
lease payments (based on historical experience and current
expectations of market participants) including net contingent
rentals for the period extending to the end of the
aircrafts economic life in its highest and best use
configuration, plus its disposition value.
|
|
|
Collateral Securing Foreclosed
Loans and Real Estate and Other Fixed
Assets: When AIG takes
collateral in connection with foreclosed loans, AIG generally
bases its estimate of fair value on the price that would be
received in a current transaction to sell the asset by itself.
|
|
|
Goodwill:
AIG tests goodwill for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate the carrying amount of goodwill may not
be recoverable, but at least annually. When AIG determines
goodwill may be impaired, AIG uses techniques that consider
market-based earnings multiples of the units peer
companies or discounted cash flow techniques based on the price
that could be received in a current transaction to sell the
asset assuming the asset would be used with other assets as a
group (in-use premise).
|
|
|
Intangible Assets:
AIG tests its
intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an intangible
asset may not be recoverable. AIG measures the fair value of
intangible assets based on an in-use premise that considers the
same factors used to estimate the fair value of its real estate
and other fixed assets under an in-use premise discussed above.
|
See Notes 1(c), (d), (e), (t), and (v) to Consolidated
Financial Statements included in the 2007 Annual Report on
Form 10-K for
additional information about how AIG tests various asset classes
for impairment.
Fair Value Hierarchy
Beginning January 1, 2008, assets and liabilities recorded
at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet are measured and
classified in a hierarchy for disclosure purposes 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. Market price data
generally is obtained from exchange or dealer markets. AIG does
not adjust the quoted price for such instruments. Assets and
liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and
classified as Level 1 include certain government and agency
securities, actively traded listed common stocks and derivative
contracts, most separate account assets and most mutual funds. |
|
|
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, 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. Assets and liabilities
measured at fair value on a recurring basis and classified as
Level 2 generally include certain government securities,
most investment-grade and high-yield corporate bonds, certain
asset-backed securities, certain listed equities, state,
municipal and provincial obligations, hybrid securities, mutual
fund and hedge fund investments, derivative contracts,
guaranteed investment agreements at AIGFP and physical
commodities. |
|
|
Level 3: Fair value measurements based on valuation
techniques that use significant inputs that are unobservable.
These measurements include circumstances in which there is
little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. In
certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall
into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such
cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the
fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based
on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement in its entirety. AIGs assessment of the
significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement
in its entirety requires judgment. In making the assessment, AIG
considers factors specific to the asset or liability. Assets and
liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and
classified as Level 3 include certain distressed
asset-backed securities, structured credit products, certain
derivative contracts (including AIGFPs super senior credit
default swap portfolio), policyholders contract deposits
carried at fair value, private equity and real estate fund
investments, and direct private equity investments. AIGs
non-financial-instrument assets that are measured at fair value
on a non-recurring basis generally are classified as
Level 3. |

Included in Level 2 securities lending invested collateral
and short-term investments are securities that are carried at
cost, which approximates fair value, of $1.1 billion and
$18.5 billion, respectively. |
(b) |
Approximately 13 percent of the fair value of the assets
recorded as Level 3 are a result of the consolidation of
various private equity, hedge fund and fund-of-funds
investments. AIGs ownership in these funds represented
23 percent, or $1.5 billion of the Level 3
amount. |
|
|
(c) |
Included in Level 3 are unrealized market valuation
losses of $20.6 billion on AIGFP super senior credit
default swap portfolio. |
At March 31, 2008, Level 3 assets totaled
$48.5 billion, representing 5 percent of total assets,
and Level 3 liabilities totaled $31.7 billion,
representing 3 percent of total liabilities.

Fair Value
Measurements (continued) |
Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine
the fair values of positions classified in Level 3 in the
tables above. As a result, the unrealized gains (losses) on
instruments held at March 31, 2008 may include changes in
fair value that were attributable to both observable (e.g.,
changes in market interest rates) and unobservable inputs (e.g.,
changes in unobservable long-dated volatilities).
AIG uses various hedging techniques to manage risks associated
with certain positions, including those classified within
Level 3. Such techniques may include the purchase or sale
of financial instruments that are classified within Level 1
and/or Level 2. As a result, the realized and unrealized
gains (losses) for assets and liabilities classified within
Level 3 presented in the table above do not reflect the
related realized or unrealized gains (losses) on hedging
instruments that are classified within Level 1 and/or
Level 2.
Changes in the fair value of separate and variable account
assets are completely offset in the consolidated statement of
income (loss) by changes in separate and variable account
liabilities, which are not carried at fair value and therefore
not included in the foregoing tables.
Fair Value Measured on a Non-Recurring Basis
At March 31, 2008, AIG had assets measured at fair value on
a non-recurring basis on which it recorded an impairment charge
totaling $45 million during the three-month period ended
March 31, 2008. This charge resulted from the write-off of
goodwill related to Mortgage Guaranty.
Fair Value Option
FAS 159 permits a company to choose to measure at fair value
many financial instruments and certain other assets and
liabilities that are not required to be measured at fair value.
Subsequent changes in fair value for designated items are
required to be reported in income. Unrealized gains and losses
on financial instruments in AIGs insurance businesses and

(a) |
Certain of AIGs financial instruments are required to
be accounted for at fair value, with changes in fair value
included in earnings, under FAS 115, Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, or
FAS 133 and are not included in the table above. |
(b) |
AIGFP elected to apply the fair value option to all eligible
assets and liabilities (other than equity method investments,
trade receivables and trade payables) because electing the fair
value option will allow AIGFP to more closely align its earnings
with the economics of its transactions by recognizing
concurrently through earnings the change in fair value of its
derivatives and the offsetting change in fair value of the
assets and liabilities being hedged as well as the manner in
which the business is evaluated by management. Substantially all
of the gain (loss) amounts shown above are reported in other
income on the consolidated statement of income (loss). |
(c) |
AIG elected to apply the fair value option to certain single
premium variable life products in Japan and an investment-linked
life insurance product sold principally in Asia, both classified
within policyholders contract deposits in the consolidated
balance sheet. AIG elected the fair value option for these
liabilities to more closely align its accounting with the
economics of its transactions. For the investment-linked product
sold principally in Asia, the election will more effectively
align changes in the fair value of assets with a commensurate
change in the fair value of policyholders liabilities. For
the single premium life products in Japan, the fair value option
election will allow AIG to economically hedge the inherent
market risks associated with this business in an efficient and
effective manner through the use of derivative instruments. The
hedging program, once finalized and implemented, will result in
the accounting presentation for this business more closely
mirroring the underlying economics and the way the business is
managed, with the change in the fair value of derivatives and
underlying assets largely offsetting the change in fair value of
the policy liabilities. AIG did not elect the fair value option
for other liabilities classified in policyholders contract
deposits because other contracts do not share the same contract
features that created the disparity between the accounting
presentation and the economic performance. |
Interest income and expense and dividend income on assets and
liabilities elected under the fair value option are recognized
and classified in the consolidated statement of income (loss)
depending on the nature of the instrument and related market
conventions. At AIGFP, interest and dividends and interest
expense are included in other income. Otherwise, interest and
dividends are included in interest and dividend income or
interest expense. See Note 1(a) to the Consolidated
Financial Statements included in the 2007 Annual Report on
Form 10-K for
additional information about AIGs policies for
recognition, measurement, and disclosure of interest and
dividend income and interest expense.
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, AIG
recognized gains of $1.4 billion attributable to the
observable effect of the widening of credit spreads on
AIGs own liabilities for which the fair value option was
elected. AIG calculates the effect of these credit spread
changes using discounted cash flow techniques that incorporate

Reflects the effects of employee stock transactions. |
From time to time, AIG may buy shares of its common stock for
general corporate purposes, including to satisfy its obligations
under various share-based employee compensation plans. In
February 2007, AIGs Board of Directors increased
AIGs share repurchase program by authorizing the purchase
of shares with an aggregate purchase price of $8 billion.
In November 2007, AIGs Board of Directors authorized the
purchase of an additional $8 billion in common stock. In
2007, AIG entered into structured share repurchase arrangements
providing for the purchase of shares over time with an aggregate
purchase price of $7 billion.
A total of 34,093,783 shares were purchased during the
first quarter of 2008 to meet commitments that existed at
December 31, 2007. The portion of the payments advanced by
AIG under the structured share purchase arrangements that had
not yet been utilized to purchase shares at March 31, 2008,
amounting to $179 million, has been recorded as a component
of shareholders equity under the caption, Payments
advanced to purchase shares. Subsequent to March 31, 2008,
an additional 3,832,276 shares were purchased, satisfying
the balance of the commitments existing at December 31,
2007 that had not been satisfied at March 31, 2008. All
shares purchased are recorded as treasury stock at cost.
At May 7, 2008, $9 billion was available for purchases
under the aggregate authorization. AIG does not expect to
purchase additional shares under its share repurchase program
for the foreseeable future.
The quarterly dividend of $0.20 per common share declared in
November 2007 was paid on March 21, 2008.
Share-based Employee Compensation Plans
During the first quarter of 2008, AIG reviewed the vesting
schedules of its share-based employee compensation plans, and on
March 11, 2008, AIGs management and the Compensation
Committee of AIGs Board of Directors determined that, to
fulfill the objective of attracting and retaining high quality
personnel, the vesting schedules of certain awards outstanding
under these plans and all awards made in the future under these
plans should be shortened. As a result, the unamortized
share-based employee compensation cost related to the affected
awards will be amortized over shorter periods. AIG estimates the
modifications will accelerate the amortization of this cost by
$116 million and $90 million in 2008 and 2009,
respectively, with a corresponding reduction in amortization
expense related to these awards of $206 million in 2010
through 2013.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share (EPS)
Basic EPS is based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding, adjusted to reflect all stock dividends and
stock splits. Diluted EPS is based on those shares used in basic
EPS plus shares that would have been outstanding assuming
issuance of common shares for all dilutive potential common
shares outstanding, adjusted to reflect all stock dividends and
stock splits.

According to the Schedule 13D filed on March 20, 2007
by Starr, SICO, Edward E. Matthews, Maurice R.
Greenberg, the Maurice R. and Corinne P. Greenberg
Family Foundation, Inc., the Universal Foundation, Inc., the
Maurice R. and Corinne P. Greenberg Joint Tenancy
Company, LLC and the C.V. Starr & Co., Inc. Trust,
these reporting persons could be considered to beneficially own
354,987,261 shares of AIGs common stock at that date.
Based on the shares of AIGs common stock outstanding at
April 30, 2008, this ownership would represent
approximately 14 percent of the voting stock of AIG.
Although these reporting persons have made filings under
Section 16 of the Exchange Act, reporting sales of shares
of common stock, no amendment to the Schedule 13D has been
filed to report a change in ownership subsequent to
March 20, 2007.

Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees |
AIG and its subsidiaries, in common with the insurance and
financial services industries in general, are subject to
litigation, including claims for punitive damages, in the normal
course of their business. At the current time, AIG cannot
predict the outcome of the matters described below, or estimate
any potential additional costs related to these matters, unless
otherwise indicated. In AIGs insurance operations,
litigation arising from claims settlement activities is
generally considered in the establishment of AIGs reserve
for losses and loss expenses. However, the potential for
increasing jury awards and settlements makes it difficult to
assess the ultimate outcome of such litigation. In addition, in
the normal course of business, various commitments and
contingent liabilities are entered into by AIG and certain of
its subsidiaries. AIG also guarantees various obligations of
certain subsidiaries.
|
|
(a) |
Litigation and Investigations |
Litigation Arising from Insurance Operations
Caremark. AIG and certain of its subsidiaries have been
named defendants in two putative class actions in state court in
Alabama that arise out of the 1999 settlement of class and
derivative litigation involving Caremark Rx, Inc. (Caremark).
The plaintiffs in the second-filed action have intervened in the
first-filed action, and the second-filed action has been
dismissed. An excess policy issued by a subsidiary of AIG with
respect to the 1999 litigation was expressly stated to be
without limit of liability. In the current actions, plaintiffs
allege that the judge approving the 1999 settlement was misled
as to the extent of available insurance coverage and would not
have approved the settlement had he known of the existence
and/or unlimited nature of the excess policy. They further
allege that AIG, its subsidiaries, and Caremark are liable for
fraud and suppression for misrepresenting and/or concealing the
nature and extent of coverage. In addition, the
intervenor-plaintiffs allege that various lawyers and law firms
who represented parties in the underlying class and derivative
litigation (the Lawyer Defendants) are also liable for fraud and
suppression, misrepresentation, and breach of fiduciary duty.
The complaints filed by the plaintiffs and the
intervenor-plaintiffs request compensatory damages for the 1999
class in the amount of $3.2 billion, plus punitive damages.
AIG and its subsidiaries deny the allegations of fraud and
suppression

Guarantees (continued) |
and have asserted that information concerning the excess policy
was publicly disclosed months prior to the approval of the
settlement. AIG and its subsidiaries further assert that the
current claims are barred by the statute of limitations and that
plaintiffs assertions that the statute was tolled cannot
stand against the public disclosure of the excess coverage. The
plaintiffs and intervenor-plaintiffs, in turn, have asserted
that the disclosure was insufficient to inform them of the
nature of the coverage and did not start the running of the
statute of limitations. On November 26, 2007, the trial
court issued an order that dismissed the intervenors
complaint against the Lawyer Defendants and entered a final
judgment in favor of the Lawyer Defendants. The intervenors are
appealing the dismissal of the Lawyer Defendants and on
January 2, 2008, requested a stay of all trial court
proceedings pending the appeal. On March 4, 2008, the trial
court granted the motion for a stay. No further proceedings at
the trial court level will occur until the appeal of the
dismissal of the Lawyer Defendants is resolved. AIG cannot
reasonably estimate either the likelihood of its prevailing in
these actions or the potential damages in the event liability is
determined.
Litigation Arising from Insurance Operations
Gunderson. A subsidiary of AIG has been named as a
defendant in a putative class action lawsuit in the 14th
Judicial District Court for the State of Louisiana. The
Gunderson complaint alleges failure to comply with
certain provisions of the Louisiana Any Willing Provider Act
(the Act) relating to discounts taken by defendants on bills
submitted by Louisiana medical providers and hospitals that
provided treatment or services to workers compensation claimants
and seeks monetary penalties and injunctive relief. On
July 20, 2006, the court denied defendants motion for
summary judgment and granted plaintiffs partial motion for
summary judgment, holding that the AIG subsidiary was a
group purchaser and, therefore, potentially subject
to liability under the Act. On November 28, 2006, the court
issued an order certifying a class of providers and hospitals.
In an unrelated action also arising under the Act, a Louisiana
appellate court ruled that the district court lacked
jurisdiction to adjudicate the claims at issue. In response,
defendants in Gunderson filed an exception for lack of
subject matter jurisdiction. On January 19, 2007, the court
denied the motion, holding that it has jurisdiction over the
putative class claims. The AIG subsidiary appealed the class
certification and jurisdictional rulings. While the appeal was
pending, the AIG subsidiary settled the lawsuit. On
January 25, 2008, plaintiffs and the AIG subsidiary agreed
to resolve the lawsuit on a class-wide basis for approximately
$29 million. The court has preliminarily approved the
settlement and will hold a final approval hearing on
May 29, 2008. In the event that the settlement is not
finally approved, AIG believes that it has meritorious defenses
to plaintiffs claims and expects that the ultimate
resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse
effect on AIGs consolidated financial condition or results
of operations for any period.
2006 Regulatory Settlements. In February 2006, AIG
reached a resolution of claims and matters under investigation
with the United States Department of Justice (DOJ), the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Office of the New
York Attorney General (NYAG) and the New York State
Department of Insurance (DOI). AIG recorded an after-tax charge
of $1.15 billion relating to these settlements in the
fourth quarter of 2005.
The settlements resolved investigations conducted by the SEC,
NYAG and DOI in connection with the accounting, financial
reporting and insurance brokerage practices of AIG and its
subsidiaries, as well as claims relating to the underpayment of
certain workers compensation premium taxes and other
assessments. These settlements did not, however, resolve
investigations by regulators from other states into insurance
brokerage practices related to contingent commissions and other
broker-related conduct, such as alleged bid rigging. Nor did the
settlements resolve any obligations that AIG may have to state
guarantee funds in connection with any of these matters.
As a result of these settlements, AIG made payments or placed
amounts in escrow in 2006 totaling approximately
$1.64 billion, $225 million of which represented fines
and penalties. Amounts held in escrow totaling
$346 million, including interest thereon, are included in
other assets at March 31, 2008. At that date, approximately
$332 million of the funds were escrowed for settlement of
claims resulting from the underpayment by AIG of its residual
market assessments for workers compensation.
The remaining escrowed funds, which amounted to
$14 million, were set aside to pay certain AIG insurance
company subsidiary policyholders who purchased excess casualty
policies through Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. (Marsh)
and Marsh Inc. (the Excess Casualty Fund). As of
February 29, 2008, eligible policyholders entitled to
receive approximately $359 million (or 95 percent) of
the Excess Casualty Fund had opted to receive settlement
payments in exchange for releasing AIG and its subsidiaries from
liability relating to certain insurance brokerage practices. In
accordance with the settlement agreements, all amounts remaining
in the Excess Casualty Fund were used by AIG to settle claims
asserted by other policyholders relating to such practices.
In addition to the escrowed funds, $800 million was
deposited into a fund under the supervision of the SEC as part
of the settlements to be available to resolve claims asserted

against AIG by investors, including the shareholder lawsuits
described herein.
Also, as part of the settlements, AIG agreed to retain, for a
period of three years, an independent consultant to conduct a
review that will include, among other things, the adequacy of
AIGs internal control over financial reporting, the
policies, procedures and effectiveness of AIGs regulatory,
compliance and legal functions and the remediation plan that AIG
has implemented as a result of its own internal review.
Other Regulatory Settlements. As noted above,
AIGs 2006 regulatory settlements with the SEC, DOJ and
NYAG did not resolve investigations by regulators from other
states into insurance brokerage practices. AIG entered into
agreements effective January 29, 2008 with the Attorneys
General of the States of Florida, Hawaii, Maryland, Michigan,
Oregon, Texas and West Virginia; the Commonwealths of
Massachusetts and Pennsylvania; and the District of Columbia; as
well as the Florida Department of Financial Services and the
Florida Office of Insurance Regulation, relating to their
respective industry wide investigations into producer
compensation and insurance placement practices. The settlements
call for total payments of $12.5 million to be allocated
among the ten jurisdictions representing restitution to state
agencies and reimbursement of the costs of the investigation.
During the term of the settlement agreements, AIG will continue
to maintain certain producer compensation disclosure and ongoing
compliance initiatives. AIG will also continue to cooperate with
the industry wide investigations. The agreement with the Texas
Attorney General also settles allegations of anticompetitive
conduct relating to AIGs relationship with Allied World
Assurance Company and includes an additional settlement payment
of $500,000 related thereto.
AIG also entered into an agreement effective March 13, 2008
with the Pennsylvania Insurance Department relating to the
Departments investigation into the affairs of AIG and
certain of its Pennsylvania-domiciled insurance company
subsidiaries. The settlement calls for total payments of
approximately $13.5 million, of which approximately
$4.4 million was paid under previous settlement agreements.
During the term of the settlement agreement, AIG will provide
annual reinsurance reports, as well as maintain certain producer
compensation disclosure and ongoing compliance initiatives.
In addition, AIG has settled litigation that was filed by the
Minnesota Attorney General with respect to claims by the
Minnesota Department of Revenue and the Minnesota Special
Compensation Fund that AIG underreported its workers
compensation premium.
Private Litigation
Securities Actions Southern District of New
York. Beginning in October 2004, a number of putative
securities fraud class action suits were filed in the Southern
District of New York against AIG and consolidated as In re
American International Group, Inc. Securities Litigation.
Subsequently, a separate, though similar, securities fraud
action was also brought against AIG by certain Florida pension
funds. The lead plaintiff in the class action is a group of
public retirement systems and pension funds benefiting Ohio
state employees, suing on behalf of themselves and all
purchasers of AIGs publicly traded securities between
October 28, 1999 and April 1, 2005. The named
defendants are AIG and a number of present and former AIG
officers and directors, as well as Starr, SICO, General
Reinsurance Corporation, and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC),
among others. The lead plaintiff alleges, among other things,
that AIG: (1) concealed that it engaged in anti-competitive
conduct through alleged payment of contingent commissions to
brokers and participation in illegal bid-rigging;
(2) concealed that it used income smoothing
products and other techniques to inflate its earnings;
(3) concealed that it marketed and sold income
smoothing insurance products to other companies; and
(4) misled investors about the scope of government
investigations. In addition, the lead plaintiff alleges that
AIGs former Chief Executive Officer manipulated AIGs
stock price. The lead plaintiff asserts claims for violations of
Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933,
Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and
Rule 10b-5
promulgated thereunder, Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act,
and Section 20A of the Exchange Act. In April 2006, the
court denied the defendants motions to dismiss the second
amended class action complaint and the Florida complaint. In
December 2006, a third amended class action complaint was filed,
which does not differ substantially from the prior complaint.
Fact and class discovery is currently ongoing. On
February 20, 2008, the lead plaintiff filed a motion for
class certification.
ERISA Actions Southern District of New York.
Between November 30, 2004 and July 1, 2005,
several Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
(ERISA) actions were filed in the Southern District of New
York on behalf of purported class participants and beneficiaries
of three pension plans sponsored by AIG or its subsidiaries. A
consolidated complaint filed on September 26, 2005 alleges
a class period between September 30, 2000 and May 31,
2005 and names as defendants AIG, the members of AIGs
Retirement Board and the Administrative Boards of the plans at
issue, and present or former members of AIGs Board of
Directors. The factual allegations in the complaint are
essentially identical to those in the securities actions
described above. The parties have reached an agreement in
principle to settle this matter for an amount within AIGs
insurance cov-

erage limits. The court has scheduled a hearing for May 29,
2008 to consider preliminary approval of the settlement, prior
to which a formal settlement agreement is to be submitted by the
parties.
Securities Action Oregon State Court.
On February 27, 2008, the State of Oregon, by and through
the Oregon State Treasurer, and the Oregon Public Employee
Retirement Board, on behalf of the Oregon Public Employee
Retirement Fund, filed a lawsuit in Oregon state court against
AIG for damages arising out of plaintiffs purchase of AIG
common stock at prices that allegedly were inflated. Plaintiffs
allege, among other things, that AIG: (1) made false and
misleading statements concerning its accounting for a
$500 million transaction with General Re;
(2) concealed that it marketed and misrepresented its
control over off-shore entities in order to improve financial
results; (3) improperly accounted for underwriting losses
as investment losses in connection with transactions involving
CAPCO Reinsurance Company, Ltd. and Union Excess;
(4) misled investors about the scope of government
investigations; and (5) engaged in market manipulation
through its then Chairman and CEO Maurice R. Greenberg. The
complaint asserts claims for violations of Oregon securities
law, and seeks compensatory damages in an amount in excess of
$15 million, and prejudgment interest and costs and fees.
On April 9, 2008, AIG removed the case to federal court and
filed a motion to have the case transferred to the Southern
District of New York.
Derivative Actions Southern District of New
York. On November 20, 2007, two purported
shareholder derivative actions were filed in the Southern
District of New York naming as defendants the current directors
of AIG and certain senior officers of AIG and its subsidiaries.
Plaintiffs assert claims for breach of fiduciary duty, waste of
corporate assets and unjust enrichment, as well as violations of
Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and
Rule 10b-5
promulgated thereunder, and Section 20(a) of the Exchange
Act, among other things, in connection with AIGs public
disclosures regarding its exposure to what the lawsuits describe
as the subprime market crisis. The actions were consolidated as
In re American International Group, Inc. 2007 Derivative
Litigation. On February 15, 2008, plaintiffs filed a
consolidated amended complaint alleging the same causes of
action. On April 15, 2008, motions to dismiss the action were
filed on behalf of all defendants. AIG may become subject to
litigation with respect to these or similar issues.
Between October 25, 2004 and July 14, 2005, seven
separate derivative actions were filed in the Southern District
of New York, five of which were consolidated into a single
action. The New York derivative complaint contains nearly the
same types of allegations made in the securities fraud action.
The named defendants include current and former officers and
directors of AIG, as well as Marsh, SICO, Starr, ACE Limited and
subsidiaries (ACE), General Reinsurance Corporation, PwC, and
certain employees or officers of these entity defendants.
Plaintiffs assert claims for breach of fiduciary duty, gross
mismanagement, waste of corporate assets, unjust enrichment,
insider selling, auditor breach of contract, auditor
professional negligence and disgorgement from AIGs former
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of
incentive-based compensation and AIG share proceeds under
Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, among others.
Plaintiffs seek, among other things, compensatory damages,
corporate governance reforms, and a voiding of the election of
certain AIG directors. AIGs Board of Directors has
appointed a special committee of independent directors (special
committee) to review the matters asserted in the operative
consolidated derivative complaint. The court has entered an
order staying the derivative case in the Southern District of
New York pending resolution of the consolidated derivative
action in the Delaware Chancery Court (discussed below). The
court also has entered an order that termination of certain
named defendants from the Delaware derivative action applies to
the New York derivative action without further order of the
court. On October 17, 2007, plaintiffs and those AIG
officer and director defendants against whom the shareholder
plaintiffs in the Delaware action are no longer pursuing claims
filed a stipulation providing for all claims in the New York
action against such defendants to be dismissed with prejudice.
Former directors and officers Maurice R. Greenberg and
Howard I. Smith have asked the court to refrain from so
ordering this stipulation.
Derivative Actions Delaware Chancery
Court. From October 2004 to April 2005, AIG shareholders
filed five derivative complaints in the Delaware Chancery Court.
All of these derivative lawsuits were consolidated into a single
action as In re American International Group, Inc.
Consolidated Derivative Litigation. The amended consolidated
complaint named 43 defendants (not including nominal defendant
AIG) who, like the New York consolidated derivative litigation,
were current and former officers and directors of AIG, as well
as other entities and certain of their current and former
employees and directors. The factual allegations, legal claims
and relief sought in the Delaware action are similar to those
alleged in the New York derivative actions, except that
shareholder plaintiffs in the Delaware derivative action assert
claims only under state law. Earlier in 2007, the court approved
an agreement that AIG be realigned as plaintiff, and, on
June 13, 2007, acting on the direction of the special
committee, AIG filed an amended complaint against former
directors and officers Maurice R. Greenberg and Howard I.
Smith, alleging breach of fiduciary duty and indemnification.
Also on June 13, 2007, the special committee filed a motion
to

terminate the litigation as to certain defendants, while taking
no action as to others. Defendants Greenberg and Smith filed
answers to AIGs complaint and brought third-party
complaints against certain current and former AIG directors and
officers, PwC and Regulatory Insurance Services, Inc. On
September 28, 2007, AIG and the shareholder plaintiffs
filed a combined amended complaint in which AIG continued to
assert claims against defendants Greenberg and Smith and took no
position as to the claims asserted by the shareholder plaintiffs
in the remainder of the combined amended complaint. In that
pleading, the shareholder plaintiffs are no longer pursuing
claims against certain AIG officers and directors. In November
2007, the shareholder plaintiffs moved to sever their claims to
a separate action. AIG joined the motion to the extent that,
among other things, the claims against defendants Greenberg and
Smith would remain in prosecution in the pending action. In
addition, a number of parties, including AIG, filed motions to
stay discovery. On February 12, 2008, the court granted
AIGs motion to stay discovery pending the resolution of
claims against AIG in the New York consolidated securities
action. The court also denied plaintiffs motion to sever
and directed the parties to coordinate a briefing schedule for
the motions to dismiss. On April 11, 2008, the shareholder
plaintiffs filed the First Amended Combined Complaint, which
adds claims against Maurice Greenberg, Edward Matthews, and
Thomas Tizzio for breach of fiduciary duty based on alleged
bid-rigging in the municipal derivatives market. On
April 15, 2008, shareholder plaintiffs submitted a
stipulation dismissing Evan Greenberg without prejudice.
A separate derivative lawsuit was filed in the Delaware Chancery
Court against twenty directors and executives of AIG as well as
against AIG as a nominal defendant that alleges, among other
things, that the directors of AIG breached the fiduciary duties
of loyalty and care by approving the payment of commissions to
Starr and of rental and service fees to SICO and the executives
breached their duty of loyalty by causing AIG to enter into
contracts with Starr and SICO and their fiduciary duties by
usurping AIGs corporate opportunity. The complaint further
alleges that the Starr agencies did not provide any services
that AIG was not capable of providing itself, and that the
diversion of commissions to these entities was solely for the
benefit of Starrs owners. The complaint also alleges that
the service fees and rental payments made to SICO and its
subsidiaries were improper. Under the terms of a stipulation
approved by the court on February 16, 2006, the claims
against the outside independent directors were dismissed with
prejudice, while the claims against the other directors were
dismissed without prejudice. On October 31, 2005,
Defendants Greenberg, Matthews and Smith, SICO and Starr filed
motions to dismiss the amended complaint. In an opinion dated
June 21, 2006, the Court denied defendants motion to
dismiss, except with respect to plaintiffs challenge to
payments made to Starr before January 1, 2000. On
July 21, 2006, plaintiff filed its second amended
complaint, which alleges that, between January 1, 2000 and
May 31, 2005, individual defendants breached their duty of
loyalty by causing AIG to enter into contracts with Starr and
SICO and breached their fiduciary duties by usurping AIGs
corporate opportunity. Starr is charged with aiding and abetting
breaches of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment for its
acceptance of the fees. SICO is no longer named as a defendant.
On April 20, 2007, the individual defendants and Starr
filed a motion seeking leave of the Court to assert a
cross-claim against AIG and a third-party complaint against PwC
and the directors previously dismissed from the action, as well
as certain other AIG officers and employees. On June 13,
2007, the court denied the individual defendants motion to
file a third-party complaint, but granted the proposed
cross-claim against AIG. On June 27, 2007, Starr filed its
cross-claim against AIG, alleging one count that includes
contribution, unjust enrichment and setoff. AIG has filed an
answer and moved to dismiss Starrs cross-claim to the
extent it seeks affirmative relief, as opposed to a reduction in
the judgment amount. On November 15, 2007, the court
granted AIGs motion to dismiss the cross-claim by Starr to
the extent that it sought affirmative relief from AIG. On
November 21, 2007, shareholder plaintiff submitted a motion
for leave to file its third amended complaint in order to add
Thomas Tizzio as a defendant. On February 14, 2008, the
court granted this motion and allowed Mr. Tizzio until
April 2008 to take additional discovery. Document discovery and
depositions are otherwise complete. Plaintiff has informed the
court that the parties do not intend to file motions for summary
judgment. Trial is currently scheduled to begin in September
2008.
Derivative Action Supreme Court of New
York, Nassau County. On February 29, 2008, a
purported shareholder derivative complaint was filed in the
Supreme Court of Nassau County, asserting the same state law
claims against the same defendants as in the consolidated
amended complaint filed on February 15, 2008 in the
Southern District of New York, In re American International
Group, Inc. 2007 Derivative Litigation, which is discussed
above.
Policyholder Actions. After the NYAG filed its
complaint against insurance broker Marsh, policyholders brought
multiple federal antitrust and Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt
Organizations Act (RICO) class actions in jurisdictions
across the nation against insurers and brokers, including AIG
and a number of its subsidiaries, alleging that the insurers and
brokers engaged in a broad conspiracy to allocate customers,
steer business, and rig bids. These actions,

including 24 complaints filed in different federal courts
naming AIG or an AIG subsidiary as a defendant, were
consolidated by the judicial panel on multi-district litigation
and transferred to the United States District Court for the
District of New Jersey for coordinated pretrial proceedings. The
consolidated actions have proceeded in that court in two
parallel actions, In re Insurance Brokerage Antitrust
Litigation (the Commercial Complaint) and In re
Employee Benefit Insurance Brokerage Antitrust Litigation
(the Employee Benefits Complaint, and, together with
the Commercial Complaint, the multi-district litigation).
The plaintiffs in the Commercial Complaint are a group of
corporations, individuals and public entities that contracted
with the broker defendants for the provision of insurance
brokerage services for a variety of insurance needs. The broker
defendants are alleged to have placed insurance coverage on the
plaintiffs behalf with a number of insurance companies
named as defendants, including AIG subsidiaries. The
Commercial Complaint also named various brokers and other
insurers as defendants (two of which have since settled). The
Commercial Complaint alleges, among other things, that
defendants engaged in a widespread conspiracy to allocate
customers through bid-rigging and
steering practices. Plaintiffs assert that the
defendants violated the Sherman Antitrust Act, RICO, and the
antitrust laws of 48 states and the District of Columbia, and
are liable under common law breach of fiduciary duty and unjust
enrichment theories. Plaintiffs seek treble damages plus
interest and attorneys fees as a result of the alleged
RICO and Sherman Antitrust Act violations.
The plaintiffs in the Employee Benefits Complaint are a
group of individual employees and corporate and municipal
employers alleging claims on behalf of two separate nationwide
purported classes: an employee class and an employer class that
acquired insurance products from the defendants from
August 26, 1994 to the date of any class certification. The
Employee Benefits Complaint names AIG, as well as various
other brokers and insurers, as defendants. The activities
alleged in the Employee Benefits Complaint, with certain
exceptions, track the allegations made in the Commercial
Complaint.
The Court in connection with the Commercial Complaint granted
(without leave to amend) defendants motions to dismiss the
federal antitrust and RICO claims on August 31, 2007 and
September 28, 2007, respectively. The court declined to
exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the state law claims in
the Commercial Complaint and therefore dismissed it in
its entirety. On January 14, 2008, the court granted
defendants motion for summary judgment on the ERISA claims
in the Employee Benefits Complaint and subsequently
dismissed the remaining state law claims without prejudice,
thereby dismissing the Employee Benefits Complaint in its
entirety. On February 12, 2008, plaintiffs filed a notice
of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third
Circuit with respect to the dismissal of the Employee
Benefits Complaint. Plaintiffs previously appealed the
dismissal of the Commercial Complaint to the United
States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit on
October 10, 2007. On February 19, 2008, appellants
filed their appeal brief with the Third Circuit with respect to
the Commercial Complaint, and appellees filed their brief
on April 7, 2008. Oral argument has not yet been scheduled
in that appeal.
A number of complaints making allegations similar to those in
the multi-district litigation have been filed against AIG and
other defendants in state and federal courts around the country.
The defendants have thus far been successful in having the
federal actions transferred to the District of New Jersey and
consolidated into the multi-district litigation. These
additional consolidated actions are still pending in the
District Court, but are currently stayed pending a decision by
the court on whether they will proceed during the appeal of the
dismissal of the multi-district litigation. The AIG defendants
have also sought to have state court actions making similar
allegations stayed pending resolution of the multi-district
litigation proceeding. These efforts have generally been
successful, although plaintiffs in one case pending in Texas
state court have moved to re-open discovery; a hearing on that
motion was held on April 9, 2008 at which the court
deferred ruling on the motion until defendants file their
Special Exceptions. Using amounts from the Excess Casualty Fund
described above, AIG has recently settled several of the various
federal and state actions alleging claims similar to those in
the multi-district litigation, including a state court action
pending in Florida in which discovery had been allowed to
proceed.
Ohio Attorney General Action. On August 24,
2007, the Ohio Attorney General filed a complaint in the Ohio
Court of Common Pleas against AIG and a number of its
subsidiaries, as well as several other broker and insurer
defendants, asserting violation of Ohios antitrust laws.
The complaint, which is similar to the Commercial
Complaint, alleges that AIG and the other broker and insurer
defendants conspired to allocate customers, divide markets, and
restrain competition in commercial lines of casualty insurance
sold through the broker defendant. The complaint seeks treble
damages on behalf of Ohio public purchasers of commercial
casualty insurance, disgorgement on behalf of both public and
private purchasers of commercial casualty insurance, as well as
a $500 per day penalty for each day of conspiratorial
conduct. AIG, along with other co-defendants, moved to dismiss
the complaint on November 16, 2007. Discovery is
25

stayed in the case pending a ruling on the motion to dismiss
or until May 15, 2008, whichever occurs first.
Workers Compensation Litigation. On
May 24, 2007, the National Workers Compensation Reinsurance
Pool (the NWCRP), on behalf of its participant members, filed a
lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Northern
District of Illinois against AIG with respect to the
underpayment by AIG of its residual market assessments for
workers compensation. The complaint alleges claims for
violations of RICO, breach of contract, fraud and related state
law claims arising out of AIGs alleged underpayment of
these assessments between 1970 and the present and seeks damages
purportedly in excess of $1 billion. On August 6,
2007, the court denied AIGs motion seeking to dismiss or
stay the complaint or, in the alternative, to transfer to the
Southern District of New York. On December 26, 2007, the
court denied AIGs motion to dismiss the complaint. AIG
filed its answer on January 22, 2008. On March 17,
2008, AIG filed an amended answer, counterclaims and third-party
claims against NCCI (in its capacity as attorney-in-fact for the
NWCRP), the NWCRP, its board members, and certain of the other
insurance companies that are members of the NWCRP. The
counterclaims and third-party claims allege violations of RICO,
as well as claims for conspiracy, fraud, and other state law
claims. On April 3, 2008, the court entered an order
staying discovery through June 17, 2008.
In addition, a similar lawsuit was filed by the Minnesota
Workers Compensation Reinsurance Association and the Minnesota
Workers Compensation Insurers Association in the United States
District Court for the District of Minnesota. On August 6,
2007, AIG moved to dismiss the complaint. On March 28,
2008, the court granted that motion and dismissed the case in
its entirety. On April 25, 2008, plaintiffs filed a notice
of appeal of the dismissal with the United States Court of
Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. On the same day, plaintiffs
filed a new complaint making similar allegations in Minnesota
state court. A purported class action was also filed in the
United States District Court for the District of South Carolina
on January 25, 2008 against AIG and certain of its
subsidiaries, on behalf of a class of employers that obtained
workers compensation insurance from AIG companies and
allegedly paid inflated premiums as a result of AIGs
alleged underreporting of workers compensation premiums.
An amended complaint in the South Carolina action was filed on
March 24, 2008, and AIG filed a motion to dismiss the
amended complaint on April 21, 2008.
SICO. In July, 2005, SICO filed a complaint
against AIG in the Southern District of New York, claiming that
AIG had refused to provide SICO access to certain artwork and
asked the court to order AIG immediately to release the property
to SICO. AIG filed an answer denying SICOs allegations and
setting forth defenses to SICOs claims. In addition, AIG
filed counterclaims asserting breach of contract, unjust
enrichment, conversion, breach of fiduciary duty, a constructive
trust and declaratory judgment, relating to SICOs breach
of its commitment to use its AIG shares only for the benefit of
AIG and AIG employees. Fact and expert discovery has been
concluded and SICOs motion for summary judgment is pending.
Starr Foundation. On May 7, 2008, the Starr
Foundation filed a complaint in New York State Supreme Court
against AIG, Martin Sullivan and Steven Bensinger, asserting a
claim for common law fraud. The Starr Foundation is a
not-for-profit corporation that holds approximately
15.4 million shares of AIG stock, and was created by
AIGs founder, Cornelius Vander Starr. The complaint
alleges that the defendants made materially misleading
statements and omissions concerning alleged multi-billion dollar
losses in AIGs portfolio of credit default swaps. The
complaint asserts that if the Starr Foundation had known the
truth about the alleged losses, it would have sold its remaining
shares of AIG stock. The complaint alleges that the Starr
Foundation has suffered damages of at least $300 million.
Regulatory Investigations. Various federal, state
and foreign regulatory and governmental agencies are reviewing
certain public disclosures, transactions and practices of AIG
and its subsidiaries in connection with industry wide and other
inquiries. AIG has cooperated, and will continue to cooperate,
in producing documents and other information in response to
subpoenas and other requests. During 2006, the Settlement Review
Working Group of the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners (NAIC), under the direction of Indiana, Minnesota
and Rhode Island, began an investigation into the underreporting
of workers compensation premiums. In late 2007, the
Settlement Review Working Group recommended that a multi-state
targeted market conduct examination focusing on workers
compensation insurance be commenced under the direction of the
NAICs Market Analysis Working Group. AIG was informed of
the multi-state targeted market conduct examination in January
of 2008. AIG has been advised that the lead states in the
multi-state examination are Delaware, Florida, Indiana,
Massachusetts, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island and that
all other states (and the District of Columbia) have agreed to
participate with the exception of New York, Ohio and Nevada. AIG
has also been advised that the examination will focus on both
legacy issues and AIGs current compliance with legal
requirements applicable to AIGs writing and reporting of
workers compensation insurance. Although AIG has been
advised by counsel engaged by the lead states to assist in their
investigation, to date no determinations have been made with
26
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (unaudited)

American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
6. Commitments, Contingencies and
Guarantees (continued)
respect to these issues. AIG cannot predict the outcome of the
investigation and there can be no assurance that any regulatory
action resulting from the investigation will not have a material
adverse effect on AIGs consolidated results of operations
for an individual reporting period as well as on the ongoing
operations of certain of AIGs businesses.
Wells Notices. AIG understands that some of its
employees have received Wells notices in connection with
previously disclosed SEC investigations of certain of AIGs
transactions or accounting practices. Under SEC procedures, a
Wells notice is an indication that the SEC staff has made a
preliminary decision to recommend enforcement action that
provides recipients with an opportunity to respond to the SEC
staff before a formal recommendation is finalized. It is
possible that additional current and former employees could
receive similar notices in the future as the regulatory
investigations proceed.
Effect on AIG
In the opinion of AIG management, AIGs ultimate liability
for the unresolved litigation and investigation matters referred
to above is not likely to have a material adverse effect on
AIGs consolidated financial condition, although it is
possible that the effect would be material to AIGs
consolidated results of operations for an individual reporting
period.
Flight Equipment
At March 31, 2008, ILFC had committed to purchase 211 new
aircraft deliverable from 2008 through 2017 at an estimated
aggregate purchase price of $18.8 billion. ILFC will be
required to find customers for any aircraft acquired, and it
must arrange financing for portions of the purchase price of
such equipment.
ILFC ordered 74 Boeing 787 aircraft with the first ten
originally scheduled to be delivered in 2010. Boeing has made
several announcements concerning the delays in the deliveries of
the 787s. Boeing has informed ILFC that its 787 deliveries will
be delayed by an average in excess of 27 months per
aircraft and span across ILFCs entire order, with the
original contracted deliveries running from 2010 through 2017.
Other Commitments
In the normal course of business, AIG enters into commitments to
invest in limited partnerships, private equities, hedge funds
and mutual funds and to purchase and develop real estate in the
U.S. and abroad. These commitments totaled $8.5 billion at
March 31, 2008.
On June 27, 2005, AIG entered into an agreement pursuant to
which AIG agreed, subject to certain conditions, to make any
payment that is not promptly paid with respect to the benefits
accrued by certain employees of AIG and its subsidiaries under
the SICO Plans (as discussed in the 2007 Annual Report on
Form 10-K).
(c) Contingencies
Loss Reserves. Although AIG regularly reviews the
adequacy of the established reserve for losses and loss
expenses, there can be no assurance that AIGs ultimate
loss reserves will not develop adversely and materially exceed
AIGs current loss reserves. Estimation of ultimate net
losses, loss expenses and loss reserves is a complex process for
long-tail casualty lines of business, which include excess and
umbrella liability, directors and officers liability (D&O),
professional liability, medical malpractice, workers
compensation, general liability, products liability and related
classes, as well as for asbestos and environmental exposures.
Generally, actual historical loss development factors are used
to project future loss development. However, there can be no
assurance that future loss development patterns will be the same
as in the past. Moreover, any deviation in loss cost trends or
in loss development factors might not be discernible for an
extended period of time subsequent to the recording of the
initial loss reserve estimates for any accident year. Thus,
there is the potential for reserves with respect to a number of
years to be significantly affected by changes in loss cost
trends or loss development factors that were relied upon in
setting the reserves. These changes in loss cost trends or loss
development factors could be attributable to changes in
inflation, in labor and material costs or in the judicial
environment, or in other social or economic phenomena affecting
claims.
Benefits Provided by Starr International Company, Inc. and
C.V. Starr & Co., Inc. SICO has provided a series of
two-year Deferred Compensation Profit Participation Plans (SICO
Plans) to certain AIG employees. The SICO Plans were created in
1975 when the voting shareholders and Board of Directors of
SICO, a private holding company whose principal asset is AIG
common stock, decided that a portion of the capital value of
SICO should be used to provide an incentive plan for the current
and succeeding managements of all American International
companies, including AIG.
None of the costs of the various benefits provided under the
SICO Plans has been paid by AIG, although AIG has recorded a
charge to reported earnings for the deferred compensation
amounts paid to AIG employees by SICO, with an offsetting amount
credited to additional paid-in capital reflecting amounts
considered to be contributed by SICO. The SICO Plans provide
that shares currently owned by SICO are

set aside by SICO for the benefit of the participant and
distributed upon retirement. The SICO Board of Directors
currently may permit an early payout of units under certain
circumstances. Prior to payout, the participant is not entitled
to vote, dispose of or receive dividends with respect to such
shares, and shares are subject to forfeiture under certain
conditions, including but not limited to the participants
voluntary termination of employment with AIG prior to normal
retirement age. Under the SICO Plans, SICOs Board of
Directors may elect to pay a participant cash in lieu of shares
of AIG common stock. Following notification from SICO to
participants in the SICO Plans that it will settle specific
future awards under the SICO Plans with shares rather than cash,
AIG modified its accounting for the SICO Plans from variable to
fixed measurement accounting. AIG gave effect to this change in
settlement method beginning on December 9, 2005, the date
of SICOs notice to participants in the SICO Plans.
AIG and certain of its subsidiaries become parties to derivative
financial instruments with market risk resulting from both
dealer and end-user activities and to reduce currency, interest
rate, equity and commodity exposures. These instruments are
carried at their estimated fair values in the consolidated
balance sheet. The majority of AIGs derivative activity is
transacted by AIGFP. See Note 8 to the 2007 Annual Report
on Form 10-K.
AIG has issued unconditional guarantees with respect to the
prompt payment, when due, of all present and future payment
obligations and liabilities of AIGFP arising from transactions
entered into by AIGFP.
SAI Deferred Compensation Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of AIG, has established a deferred compensation plan
for registered representatives of certain AIG subsidiaries,
pursuant to which participants have the opportunity to invest
deferred commissions and fees on a notional basis. The value of
the deferred compensation fluctuates with the value of the
deferred investment alternatives chosen. AIG has provided a full
and unconditional guarantee of the obligations of SAI Deferred
Compensation Holdings, Inc. to pay the deferred compensation
under the plan.

Interim Period Tax Assumptions and Effective Tax Rates
AIGs interim period tax expense or benefit is measured
using an estimated annual effective tax rate. To the extent that
a portion of AIGs annual pretax income or loss cannot be
reliably estimated, the actual tax expense or benefit applicable
to that income or loss is reported in the interim period in
which the related income or loss is reported. AIG is unable to
reliably estimate other-than-temporary impairments and the
operating results of AIGFP. Therefore, the related tax effects
calculated at the statutory tax rate of 35 percent are reported
as discrete adjustments to the estimated annual effective tax
rate that AIG applies to all other pretax income.
The effective tax rate on pre-tax income for the year ended
December 31, 2007 was 16.3 percent. The effective rate
was low due to the unrealized market valuation losses on
AIGFPs super senior credit default swap portfolio and
other-than-temporary impairment charges. The effective tax rate
on the pre-tax loss for the first three months of 2008 was
31.4 percent. The effective rate was lower than the
statutory rate of 35 percent due primarily to
$703 million of tax charges for the first three months of
2008, comprised of increases in the reserves for uncertain tax
positions and other discrete period items.
Tax Filings and Examinations
On April 3, 2008, AIG filed a refund claim for tax years
1997 through 2004. The refund claim relates to the tax effect of
the restatement of AIGs 2004 and prior financial
statements.
On March 20, 2008, AIG received a Statutory Notice of
Deficiency (the Notice) from the United States Internal Revenue
Service (IRS) asserting liability for additional taxes for
the 1997 through 1999 tax years. The Notice asserted that AIG
owes additional taxes of $329 million, including penalties,
and focuses principally on two issues: the timing of deductions
and the disallowance of foreign tax credits associated with
cross border financing transactions. The transactions that are
the subject of the Notice (the Affected Transactions) extend
beyond the period covered by the Notice, and it is likely that
the IRS will seek to challenge those later periods. It is also
possible that the IRS will consider other transactions to be
similar to the Affected Transactions. AIG disagrees with the
Notice and plans to contest the IRS assertions. AIG
believes that it is adequately reserved for any liability that
could result from the IRS actions.
In April 2008, two separate court decisions were rendered
relating to certain lease-in, lease-out
transactions, which were adverse to the taxpayers. In accordance
with FIN 48, AIG will evaluate in the second quarter of
2008 the effect of these decisions on lease transactions of AIG

aries. Any resulting adjustment is not expected to be material
to AIGs consolidated results of operations or its
consolidated financial condition.
FIN 48
As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, AIGs
unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties,
were $2.5 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively. The
increase during the period is attributable to foreign tax
credits associated with cross border financing transactions and
to income and expense allocations across jurisdictions. As of
March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, AIGs
unrecognized tax benefits included $923 million and
$299 million, respectively, related to tax positions the
disallowance of which would not affect the effective tax rate.
The increase during the period is attributable to U.S. deferred
taxes associated with income and expense allocations across
jurisdictions. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2008 and
December 31, 2007, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits
that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax
rate were $1.5 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively.
Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are
recognized in income tax expense. At March 31, 2008, AIG
had accrued $351 million, for the payment of interest (net
of the federal benefit) and penalties.
AIG continually evaluates proposed adjustments by taxing
authorities. At March 31, 2008, such proposed adjustments
would not result in a material change to AIGs consolidated
financial condition, although it is possible that the effect
could be material to AIGs consolidated results of
operations for an individual reporting period. Although it is
reasonably possible that a significant change in the balance of
unrecognized tax benefits may occur within the next twelve
months, at this time it is not possible to estimate the range of
the change due to the uncertainty of the potential outcomes.

(continued)
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
AIG has made certain revisions to the Consolidated Statement of
Cash Flows, primarily relating to the effect of reclassifying
certain policyholders account balances, the elimination of
certain intercompany balances and revisions related to separate
account assets. Accordingly, AIG revised the previous periods
presented to conform to the revised presentation. There was no
effect on ending cash balances.
The revisions and their effect on the Consolidated Statement
of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2007

Cautionary Statement Regarding Projections and Other
Information About Future Events
This Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q and
other publicly available documents may include, and AIGs
officers and representatives may from time to time make,
projections concerning financial information and statements
concerning future economic performance and events, plans and
objectives relating to management, operations, products and
services, and assumptions underlying these projections and
statements. These projections and statements are not historical
facts but instead represent only AIGs belief regarding
future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently
uncertain and outside AIGs control. These projections and
statements may address, among other things, the status and
potential future outcome of the current regulatory and civil
proceedings against AIG and their potential effect on AIGs
businesses, financial condition, results of operations, cash
flows and liquidity, AIGs exposures to subprime mortgages,
monoline insurers and the residential real estate market and
AIGs strategy for growth, product development, market
position, financial results and reserves. It is possible that
AIGs actual results and financial condition may differ,
possibly materially, from the anticipated results and financial
condition indicated in these projections and statements. Factors
that could cause AIGs actual results to differ, possibly
materially, from those in the specific projections and
statements are discussed in Outlook and throughout this
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations and in Item 1A. Risk Factors of
AIGs Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2007 (2007 Annual Report on
Form 10-K). AIG is
not under any obligation (and expressly disclaims any such
obligations) to update or alter any projection or other
statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time
to time, whether as a result of new information, future events
or otherwise.
35
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
In addition to reviewing AIGs results for the first three
months of 2008, this Managements Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations supplements and
updates the information and discussion included in the 2007
Annual Report on
Form 10-K.
Throughout this Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations, AIG presents its
operations in the way it believes will be most meaningful.
Statutory loss ratios and combined ratios are presented in
accordance with accounting principles prescribed by insurance
regulatory authorities because these are standard measures of
performance filed with insurance regulatory authorities and used
for analysis in the insurance industry and thus allow more
meaningful comparisons with AIGs insurance competitors.
AIG also uses cross-references to additional information
included in this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q and in
the 2007 Annual Report on
Form 10-K to
assist readers seeking related information on a particular
subject.
Overview of Operations
and Business Results
AIG identifies its reportable segments by product line,
consistent with its management structure. These segments are
General Insurance, Life Insurance & Retirement Services,
Financial Services and Asset Management. Through these operating
segments, AIG provides insurance, financial and investment
products and services to both businesses and individuals in more
than 130 countries and jurisdictions. This geographic, product
and service diversification is one of AIGs major strengths
and sets it apart from its competitors. AIGs Other
category consists of items not allocated to AIGs operating
segments.
AIGs subsidiaries serve commercial, institutional and
individual customers through an extensive property-casualty and
life insurance and retirement services network. In the United
States, AIG companies are the largest underwriters of commercial
and industrial insurance and are among the largest life
insurance and retirement services operations as well. AIGs
Financial Services businesses include commercial aircraft and
equipment leasing, capital markets operations and consumer
finance, both in the United States and abroad. AIG also provides
asset management services to institutions and individuals. As
part of its Spread-Based Investment activities, and to finance
its operations, AIG issues various debt instruments in the
public and private markets.
Outlook
The following paragraphs supplement and update the information
and discussion included in Managements Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations Outlook in the 2007 Annual Report on
Form 10-K to
reflect developments in or affecting AIGs business to date
during 2008. These paragraphs also supplement and update
Item 1A. Risk Factors in the 2007 Annual Report on
Form 10-K.
General Trends
In mid-2007, the U.S. residential mortgage market began to
experience serious disruption due to credit quality
deterioration in a significant portion of loans originated,
particularly to non-prime and subprime borrowers; evolving
changes in the regulatory environment; a slower residential
housing market; increased cost of borrowings for mortgage
participants; and illiquid credit markets. The conditions
continued and worsened throughout 2007 and the first quarter of
2008, expanding into the broader U.S. credit markets and
resulting in greater volatility, less liquidity, widening of
credit spreads, a lack of price transparency and increased
credit losses in certain markets.
AIG participates in the U.S. residential mortgage market in
several ways: American General Finance, Inc. (AGF) originates
principally first-lien mortgage loans and to a lesser extent
second-lien mortgage loans to buyers and owners of residential
housing; United Guaranty Corporation (UGC) provides first
loss mortgage guaranty insurance for high loan-to-value
first-and second-lien residential mortgages; AIG insurance and
financial services subsidiaries invest in mortgage-backed
securities and collateralized debt obligations (CDOs), in which
the underlying collateral is composed in whole or in part of
residential mortgage loans; and AIG Financial Products Corp. and
AIG Trading Group Inc. and their respective subsidiaries
(collectively, AIGFP) provides credit protection through credit
default swaps on certain super senior tranches of CDOs, a
significant majority of which have AAA underlying or subordinate
layers.
Continuing disruption in the U.S. residential mortgage and other
credit markets may also increase claim activity in the financial
institution segment of AIGs directors and officers
liability (D&O) and professional liability classes of
business. However, based on its review of information currently
available, AIG believes overall loss activity for the broader
D&O and professional liability classes is likely to remain
within or near the levels observed during the last several
years, which include losses related to stock options backdating
as well as to the U.S. residential mortgage market.
The operating results of AIGs consumer finance and
mortgage guaranty operations in the United States have been and
are likely to continue to be adversely affected by the factors
referred to above. The downward cycle in the U.S. housing market
is not expected to improve until residential inventories return
to a more normal level and the mortgage credit market
stabilizes. The duration and severity of the downward cycle
could be further negatively affected in the event of an economic
recession. AIG expects that this downward cycle will continue to
adversely affect UGCs operating results for the
foreseeable future and will result in a
36
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
significant operating loss for UGC in 2008 and possibly beyond.
AIG also incurred substantial unrealized market valuation losses
on AIGFPs super senior credit default swap portfolio and
substantial other-than-temporary impairment charges on
AIGs available for sale securities in the first quarter of
2008 and fourth quarter of 2007. The results from AIGs
operations with exposure to the U.S. residential mortgage market
will be highly dependent on future market conditions. Continuing
market deterioration will cause AIG to report additional
unrealized market valuation losses and impairment charges.
The ongoing effect of the downward cycle in the U.S. housing
market on AIGs consolidated financial condition could be
material if the market disruption continues to expand beyond the
residential mortgage markets, although AIG seeks to mitigate the
risks to its business by disciplined underwriting and active
risk management.
Credit ratings are important to AIGs business, results of
operations and liquidity. Downgrades in AIGs credit
ratings could increase AIGs borrowing costs and could
adversely affect its competitive position and liquidity. With
respect to AIGs liquidity, it is estimated that, as of the
close of business on April 30, 2008, based on AIGFPs
outstanding municipal guaranteed investment agreements (GIAs)
and financial derivative transactions at that date, a downgrade
of AIGs longer-term senior debt ratings to Aa3
by Moodys Investors Service (Moodys) or
AA- by Standard & Poors, a division of the
McGraw-Hill Companies (S&P) would permit counterparties to
call for approximately $1.8 billion of collateral, while a
downgrade to A1 by Moodys or A+ by S&P
would permit counterparties to call for approximately
$9.8 billion of additional collateral. Further downgrades
could result in requirements for substantial additional
collateral, which could have a material adverse effect on how
AIGFP manages its liquidity. The actual amount of collateral
that AIGFP would be required to post to counterparties in the
event of such downgrades depends on market conditions, the fair
value of outstanding affected transactions and other factors
prevailing at the time of the downgrade. Additional obligations
to post collateral would increase the demands on AIGFPs
liquidity.
Globally, heightened regulatory scrutiny of financial services
companies in many jurisdictions has the potential to affect
future financial results through higher compliance costs. This
is particularly true in the United States, where federal and
state authorities have commenced various investigations of the
financial services industry, and in Japan and Southeast Asia,
where financial institutions have received remediation orders
affecting consumer and policyholder rights.
Capital Resources
In light of the ongoing significant effects the disruption in
the U.S. housing and credit markets is having on AIGs
results, AIG is planning to raise additional capital to fortify
its balance sheet and increase financial flexibility.
General Insurance
The commercial property and casualty insurance industry has
historically experienced cycles of price erosion followed by
rate strengthening as a result of catastrophes or other
significant losses that affect the overall capacity of the
industry to provide coverage. As premium rates decline, AIG will
generally experience higher current accident year loss ratios,
as the written premiums are earned, and higher expense ratios if
written premiums decline more quickly than expenses. Despite
industry price erosion in commercial lines, AIG expects to
continue to identify profitable opportunities and build
attractive new general insurance businesses as a result of
AIGs broad product line and extensive distribution
networks in the United States and abroad.
Workers compensation remains under considerable pricing
pressure, as statutory rates continue to decline. Rates for most
casualty lines of insurance continue to decline due to
competitive pressures, particularly for aviation, excess
casualty and D&O exposures. Rates for commercial property
lines are also declining following another year of relatively
low catastrophe losses. Further price erosion is expected during
the remainder of 2008 for the commercial lines; AIG seeks to
mitigate the decline by constantly seeking out profitable
opportunities across its diverse product lines and distribution
networks while maintaining a commitment to underwriting
discipline. There can be no assurance that price erosion will
not become more widespread or that AIGs profitability will
not deteriorate from current levels in major commercial lines.
The personal lines market has softened considerably and further
deterioration in underwriting results is expected to continue
through 2009. A generally weakening economy and increasing loss
trends are contributing factors. AIG is filing for rate
increases and tightening underwriting guidelines where necessary
in response to the changing market conditions.
Life Insurance & Retirement Services
Disruption in the U.S. residential mortgage and credit markets
had a significant adverse effect on Life Insurance &
Retirement Services operating results, specifically its net
investment income and net realized capital losses in 2007 and
the first three months of 2008, and AIG expects that this
disruption will continue to be a key factor in the remainder of
2008 and beyond, especially in its U.S.-based operations. The
volatility in operating results will be further magnified by the
37
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
continuing market shift to variable products with living
benefits.
In response to the market disruption, AIG, including Domestic
Life and Domestic Retirement Services, has been increasing its
liquidity position and investing in shorter duration
investments. While prudent in the current environment, such
actions will reduce overall investment yields.
Recent capital markets volatility has put pressure on credit
lenders resulting in increased costs for premium financing,
which could affect future sales of products where such financing
is used, primarily in large universal life policies in Domestic
Life Insurance.
The U.S. dollar has significantly weakened against many
currencies, resulting in a favorable effect on operating results
due to the translation of foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar.
However, the weakened dollar has an unfavorable effect on
other-than-temporary impairments in Foreign Life Insurance &
Retirement Services and will continue to affect operating
results throughout 2008.
An additional capital contribution to operations in Taiwan is
planned for the second quarter of 2008 in order to meet the
needs of this growing business and increased risk-based capital
requirements. The amount of the additional capital contribution
is expected to be approximately $400 million.
Financial Services
AIG exercises significant judgment in the valuation of its
various credit default swap portfolios. AIG uses pricing models
and other methodologies to value these portfolios that take into
account, where applicable, and to the extent possible,
third-party prices, pricing matrices, the movement of indices
(such as the CDX and iTraxx), collateral calls and other
observable market data. There is no uniform methodology used by
market participants in valuing these types of portfolios. AIG
believes that the assumptions and judgments it makes are
reasonable and lead to an overall methodology that is
reasonable, but other market participants may use other
methodologies, including, among other things, models, indices
and selection of third-party pricing sources, that are based
upon different assumptions and judgments, and these
methodologies may generate materially different values. AIG
regularly updates and analyzes the appropriateness of its
valuation methodologies. Updates to or changes in AIGs
methodologies or assumptions may materially change AIGs
estimates of the value of its credit default swap portfolios.
For additional information regarding AIGs methodology,
models and assumptions with respect to the valuation and
credit-based analyses of the AIGFP super senior credit default
swap portfolio see Critical Accounting Estimates
Fair Value Measurements of Certain Financial Assets and
Liabilities AIGFPs Super Senior Credit Default
Swap Portfolio, and Valuation of Level 3 Assets and
Liabilities Super senior credit default swap
portfolio. Also refer to Risk Management Credit
Derivatives.
The ongoing disruption in the U.S. residential mortgage and
credit markets and the downgrades of residential mortgage-backed
securities and CDO securities by rating agencies continue to
adversely affect the fair value of the super senior credit
default swap portfolio written by AIGFP. AIG expects that
continuing limitations on the availability of market observable
data will affect AIGs determinations of the fair value of
these derivatives, including by preventing AIG, for the
foreseeable future, from recognizing the beneficial effect of
the differential between credit spreads used to price a credit
default swap and spreads implied from prices of the CDO bonds
referenced by such swap. The fair value of these derivatives is
expected to continue to fluctuate, perhaps materially, in
response to changing market conditions, and AIGs estimates
of the value of AIGFPs super senior credit derivative
portfolio at future dates could therefore be materially
different from current estimates. Further declines in the fair
values of these derivatives may require AIGFP to post additional
collateral which may be material to AIGFPs financial
condition.
Under the terms of most of these credit derivatives, losses to
AIG would generally result from the credit impairment of the
referenced CDO bonds that AIG would acquire in satisfying its
swap obligations. Based upon its most current analyses, AIG
believes that any credit impairment losses which may emerge over
time at AIGFP will not be material to AIGs consolidated
financial condition, but could be material to the manner in
which AIG manages its liquidity. In making this assessment, AIG
uses a credit-based analysis to estimate potential realized
credit impairment losses from AIGFPs super senior credit
default swap portfolio. This analysis makes various assumptions
as to estimates of future stresses on the portfolio resulting
from further downgrades by the rating agencies of the CDO
collateral. In addition, during the first quarter of 2008, AIG
introduced another methodology called a roll rate analysis. This
methodology rolls forward current and estimated future
delinquencies and defaults in underlying mortgages in the CDO
collateral pools to estimate potential losses in the CDOs. Due
to the dislocation in the market for CDO collateral, AIG does
not use the market values of the underlying CDO collateral in
estimating its potential realized credit impairment losses. The
use of factors derived from market-observable prices in models
used to determine the estimates for future realized credit
impairment losses would result in materially higher estimates of
realized credit impairment losses. AIGs credit-based
analyses estimate potential realized credit impairment pre-tax
losses at
38
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
approximately $1.2 billion to approximately
$2.4 billion. Other types of analyses or models could
result in materially different estimates. AIG is aware that
other market participants have used different assumptions and
methodologies to estimate the potential realized credit
impairment losses on AIGFPs super senior credit default
swap portfolio, resulting in a significantly higher estimate
than that resulting from AIGs credit-based analysis. For
example, a third-party analysis provided to AIG, that AIG
understands uses credit and market value inputs, estimates the
potential realized pre-tax losses on AIGFPs super senior
credit default swap portfolio at between approximately
$9 billion and approximately $11 billion. (AIG
expresses no view as to the reasonableness of this third-party
estimate and does not intend to seek an update of this
estimate.) There can be no assurance that AIGs estimate
will not change or that the ultimate realized losses on
AIGFPs super senior credit default swap portfolio will not
exceed any current estimates.
Approximately $335 billion of the $469 billion in
notional exposure on AIGFPs super senior credit default
swap portfolio as of March 31, 2008 was written to
facilitate regulatory capital relief for financial institutions
primarily in Europe. AIG expects that the majority of these
transactions will be terminated within the next 12 to
24 months by AIGFPs counterparties as they implement
models compliant with the new Basel II Accord. As of April 30,
2008, $55 billion in notional exposures have either been
terminated or are in the process of being terminated at the
request of counterparties. In its 2007 Annual Report on
Form 10-K, AIG had
previously reported that as of February 26, 2008,
$54 billion in notional exposures have either been
terminated or are in the process of being terminated. AIG has
recently refined its approach to estimating its net notional
exposures on certain of these transactions that have unique
features. The notional exposures on transactions terminated or
that were in the process of being terminated as of
February 26, 2008 is $46 billion under the refined
method. AIGFP was not required to make any payments as part of
these terminations and in certain cases was paid a fee upon
termination.
In light of this experience to date and after other
comprehensive analyses, AIG determined that there was no
unrealized market valuation adjustment to be recognized for this
regulatory capital relief portfolio for the three months ended
March 31, 2008. AIG will continue to assess the valuation
of this portfolio and monitor developments in the marketplace.
Given the significant deterioration in the global credit markets
and the risk that AIGFPs expectations with respect to the
termination of these transactions by its counterparties may not
materialize, there can be no assurance that AIG will not
recognize unrealized market valuation losses from this portfolio
in future periods, and recognition of even a small percentage
decline in the fair value of this portfolio could be material to
an individual reporting period. These transactions contributed
approximately $89 million to AIGFPs revenues in the
three-months ended March 31, 2008. If AIGFP is not
successful in replacing the revenues generated by these
transactions, AIGFPs operating results could be materially
adversely affected.
Approximately $57 billion of the $469 billion in
notional exposure on AIGFPs super senior credit default
swaps as of March 31, 2008 was written on investment grade
corporate debt and CLOs. There is no uniform methodology to
estimate the fair value of corporate super senior credit default
swaps. AIG estimates the fair value of its corporate credit
default swap portfolio by reference to benchmark indices,
including the CDX and iTraxx, and third-party prices and
collateral calls. AIG believes that its methodology to value the
corporate credit default swap portfolio is reasonable, but other
market participants use other methodologies and these
methodologies may generate materially different fair value
estimates. No assurance can be given that the fair value of
AIGs corporate credit default swap portfolio would not
change materially if other market indices or pricing sources
were used to estimate the fair value of the portfolio.
For a description of important factors that may affect the
operations and initiatives described above, see Item 1A.

AIGs consolidated revenues decreased in the three months
ended March 31, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007
due to an unrealized market valuation loss of $9.1 billion
on AIGFPs super senior credit default swap portfolio
recorded in other income, higher net realized capital losses and
a decline in net investment income, which more than offset
growth in premiums and other considerations in the Life
Insurance & Retirement Services segment. Net realized
capital losses of $6.1 billion in the three months ended
March 31, 2008 included other-than-temporary impairment
charges of $5.6 billion, primarily related to the
significant disruption in the residential mortgage and credit
markets and investment-
39
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
related losses of $779 million where AIG lacks the intent
to hold the investments to recovery. Total other-than-temporary
impairment charges in the three months ended March 31, 2007
were $467 million. See Invested Assets
Portfolio Review Other-than-temporary impairments
herein. The decline in net investment income reflects lower
returns from partnerships, hedge funds and mutual funds as well
as lower policyholder trading gains in Life Insurance &
Retirement Services. Policyholder trading gains are offset by a
charge to incurred policy losses and benefits expense.
Income (loss) before income taxes and minority interest declined
in the three months ended March 31, 2008 due primarily to
the losses described above.
Income Taxes
The effective tax rate on pre-tax income for the year ended
December 31, 2007 was 16.3 percent. The effective rate
was low due to the unrealized market valuation losses on
AIGFPs super senior credit default swap portfolio and
other-than-temporary impairment charges. The effective tax rate
on the pre-tax loss for the first three months of 2008 was
31.4 percent. The effective rate was lower than the
statutory rate of 35 percent due primarily to
$703 million of tax charges for the first three months of
2008, comprised of increases in the reserves for uncertain tax
positions and other discrete period items. See also Note 8
to Consolidated Financial Statements.

March 31, 2008 and 2007, the effect was $(748) million
and $(452) million, respectively, in both revenues and
operating income (loss). These amounts result primarily from
interest rate and foreign currency derivatives that are
effective economic hedges of investments and borrowings. |

General Insurance
AIGs General Insurance operations provide property and
casualty products and services throughout the world. Revenues in
the General Insurance segment represent net premiums earned, net
investment income and net realized capital gains (losses). The
decrease in General Insurance revenues in the first three months
of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 was due to net
realized capital losses for the first three months of 2008
compared to net realized capital gains in the same period of
2007 and lower net investment income as returns on partnership
investments declined. The decrease in General Insurance
operating income in the first three months of 2008 compared to
the same period in 2007 was driven by AIG Commercial Insurance
(Commercial Insurance), reflecting lower underwriting profit and
net investment income, as well as net realized capital losses
incurred by Commercial Insurance in 2008. Operating losses from
the Mortgage Guaranty business and a decline in Foreign General
Insurance net investment income in the first three months of
2008 also contributed to the decrease in General Insurance
operating income.
40
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Life Insurance & Retirement Services
AIGs Life Insurance & Retirement Services operations
provide insurance, financial and investment-oriented products
throughout the world. Revenues in the Life Insurance &
Retirement Services operations represent premiums and other
considerations, net investment income and net realized capital
gains (losses). Foreign operations contributed approximately
80 percent and 78 percent of AIGs Life Insurance
& Retirement Services premiums and other considerations for
the first three months of 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Life Insurance & Retirement Services operating income (loss)
declined in the first three months of 2008 compared to the same
period in 2007 primarily due to higher net realized capital
losses in 2008. In addition, the operating loss in the first
three months of 2008 was negatively affected by trading account
losses in the U.K. associated with certain investment-linked
products and an increase in incurred policyholder benefits
related to a closed block of Japan business with guaranteed
benefits. These declines were partially offset by reductions in
deferred policy acquisition costs (DAC) and sales inducement
asset (SIA) amortization related to realized capital losses and
growth in the underlying reserves which reflects increased
assets under management.
Financial Services
AIGs Financial Services subsidiaries engage in diversified
activities including aircraft and equipment leasing, capital
markets, consumer finance and insurance premium finance.
Revenues in the Financial Services segment include interest,
realized and unrealized gains and losses, including the
unrealized market valuation losses on AIGFPs super senior
credit default swap portfolio, and lease and finance charges.
Financial Services reported an operating loss in the first three
months of 2008 compared to operating income in the same period
in 2007, primarily due to an unrealized market valuation loss of
$9.1 billion on AIGFPs super senior credit default
swap portfolio and a decline in operating income for AGF.
Capital Markets net operating loss for the first three months of
2008 was $8.9 billion, reflecting the pre-tax unrealized
market valuation loss on the super senior credit default swap
portfolio. The net loss also includes an increase to pre-tax
earnings of $2,648 million attributable to changes in
AIGs credit spreads which were substantially offset by the
effect of changes in counterparty credit spreads on assets
measured at fair value of $2,620 million. On
January 1, 2008, AIGFP elected the fair value option for
almost all of its eligible financial assets and liabilities.
Included in the first quarter 2008 net operating loss is the
transition amount of $291 million related to the adoption
of FAS 157 and FAS 159.
In the first three months of 2007, AGFs mortgage banking
operations recorded a pre-tax charge of $128 million,
representing the estimated cost of implementing the Supervisory
Agreement entered into with the Office of Thrift Supervision
(OTS).
Operating income for ILFC increased in the first three months of
2008 compared to the same period in 2007 driven to a large
extent by a larger aircraft fleet, higher lease rates and higher
utilization.
Asset Management
AIGs Asset Management operations include institutional and
retail asset management, broker-dealer services and Spread-Based
Investment businesses. Revenues in the Asset Management segment
represent investment income with respect to spread-based
products and management, advisory and incentive fees.
Asset Management operating income decreased in the first three
months of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007, due to
other-than-temporary impairment charges on fixed income
investments, lower partnership income and mark to market losses
on interest rate and foreign currency hedge positions not
qualifying for hedge accounting related to the Spread-Based
Investment business.
Capital Resources
At March 31, 2008, AIG had total consolidated
shareholders equity of $79.7 billion and total
consolidated borrowings of $172.2 billion. At that date,
$68.3 billion of such borrowings were subsidiary borrowings
not guaranteed by AIG.
In February 2007, AIGs Board of Directors increased
AIGs share repurchase program by authorizing the purchase
of shares with an aggregate purchase price of $8 billion.
In November 2007, AIGs Board of Directors authorized the
purchase of an additional $8 billion in common stock. At
May 7, 2008, $9 billion was available for purchase
under the aggregate authorization. A total of
34,093,783 shares were purchased during the first three
months of 2008. Subsequent to March 31, 2008, an additional
3,832,276 shares were purchased, satisfying the balance of the
commitments existing at December 31, 2007 that had not been
satisfied at March 31, 2008. AIG does not expect to
purchase additional shares under its share repurchase program
for the foreseeable future.
Liquidity
AIG manages liquidity at both the subsidiary and parent company
levels. At March 31, 2008, AIGs consolidated invested
assets, primarily held by its subsidiaries, included
$63.6 billion in cash and short-term investments.
Consolidated net cash provided from operating activities in the
first three months of 2008 amounted to $8.3 billion. At
both the subsidiary and parent company level, liquidity
management activities are intended to preserve and enhance
41
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
funding stability, flexibility, and diversity through a wide
range of potential operating environments and market conditions.
AIGs primary sources of cash flow are dividends and other
payments from its regulated and unregulated subsidiaries, as
well as issuances of debt securities. Primary uses of cash flow
are for debt service, subsidiary funding, shareholder dividend
payments and common stock repurchases. Management believes that
AIGs liquid assets, cash provided by operations and access
to the capital markets will enable it to meet its anticipated
cash requirements, including the funding of dividends under
AIGs dividend policy.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America (GAAP) requires the application of accounting policies
that often involve a significant degree of judgment. AIG
considers that its accounting policies that are most dependent
on the application of estimates and assumptions, and therefore
viewed as critical accounting estimates, to be those relating to
reserves for losses and loss expenses, future policy benefits
for life and accident and health contracts, recoverability of
DAC, estimated gross profits for investment-oriented products,
fair value measurements of certain financial assets and
liabilities, other-than-temporary impairments, the allowance for
finance receivable losses and flight equipment recoverability.
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, AIGs results of operations would be
directly affected.
Throughout this Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations, AIGs
critical accounting estimates are discussed in detail. The major
categories for which assumptions are developed and used to
establish each critical accounting estimate are highlighted
below.
Reserves for Losses and Loss Expenses
(General Insurance):
|
|
|
Loss trend factors: used to establish expected loss
ratios for subsequent accident years based on premium rate
adequacy and the projected loss ratio with respect to prior
accident years. |
|
|
Expected loss ratios for the latest accident year: in
this case, accident year 2007 for the year-end 2007 loss reserve
analysis. For low-frequency, high-severity classes such as
excess casualty, expected loss ratios generally are utilized for
at least the three most recent accident years. |
|
|
Loss development factors: used to project the reported
losses for each accident year to an ultimate amount. |
|
|
Reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses: the expected
recoveries from reinsurers on losses that have not yet been
reported and/or settled. |
Future Policy Benefits for Life and Accident and Health
Contracts (Life Insurance & Retirement Services):
|
|
|
Interest rates: which vary by geographical region, year
of issuance and products. |
|
|
Mortality, morbidity and surrender rates: based upon
actual experience by geographical region modified to allow for
variation in policy form, risk classification and distribution
channel. |
Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs (Life Insurance &
Retirement Services):
|
|
|
Recoverability: based on current and future expected
profitability, which is affected by interest rates, foreign
exchange rates, mortality experience and policy persistency. |
Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs (General Insurance):
|
|
|
Recoverability: based upon the current terms and
profitability of the underlying insurance contracts. |
Estimated Gross Profits for Investment-Oriented Products
(Life Insurance & Retirement Services):
|
|
|
Estimated gross profits: to be realized over the
estimated duration of the contracts (investment-oriented
products) affect the carrying value of DAC, unearned revenue
liability, SIAs and associated amortization patterns. Estimated
gross profits include investment income and gains and losses on
investments less required interest, actual mortality and other
expenses. |
Allowance for Finance Receivable Losses (Financial
Services):
|
|
|
Historical defaults and delinquency experience: utilizing
factors, such as delinquency ratio, allowance ratio, charge-off
ratio and charge-off coverage. |
|
|
Portfolio characteristics: portfolio composition and
consideration of the recent changes to underwriting criteria and
portfolio seasoning. |
|
|
External factors: consideration of current economic
conditions, including levels of unemployment and personal
bankruptcies. |
|
|
Migration analysis: empirical technique measuring
historical movement of similar finance receivables through
various levels of repayment, delinquency, and loss categories to
existing finance receivable pools. |
Flight Equipment Recoverability (Financial Services):
|
|
|
Expected undiscounted future net cash flows: based upon
current lease rates, projected future lease rates and estimated
terminal values of each aircraft based on expectations of market
participants. |

Other-Than-Temporary Impairments:
AIG evaluates its investments for impairment such that a
security is considered a candidate for other-than-temporary
impairment if it meets any of the following criteria:
|
|
|
Trading at a significant (25 percent or more) discount to
par, amortized cost (if lower) or cost for an extended period of
time (nine consecutive months or longer); |
|
|
The occurrence of a discrete credit event resulting in
(i) the issuer defaulting on a material outstanding
obligation; (ii) the issuer seeking protection from
creditors under the bankruptcy laws or any similar laws intended
for court supervised reorganization of insolvent enterprises; or
(iii) the issuer proposing a voluntary reorganization
pursuant to which creditors are asked to exchange their claims
for cash or securities having a fair value substantially lower
than par value of their claims; or |
|
|
AIG may not realize a full recovery on its investment,
regardless of the occurrence of one of the foregoing events. |
The determination that a security has incurred an
other-than-temporary decline in value requires the judgment of
management and consideration of the fundamental condition of the
issuer, its near-term prospects and all the relevant facts and
circumstances. The above criteria also consider circumstances of
a rapid and severe market valuation decline, such as that
experienced in current credit markets, in which AIG could not
reasonably assert that the recovery period would be temporary
(severity losses). For further discussion, see Portfolio
Review Other-Than-Temporary Impairments.
At each balance sheet date, AIG evaluates its securities
holdings with unrealized losses. When AIG does not intend to
hold such securities until they have recovered their cost basis,
AIG records the unrealized loss in income. If a loss is
recognized from a sale subsequent to a balance sheet date
pursuant to changes in circumstances, the loss is recognized in
the period in which the intent to hold the securities to
recovery no longer existed.
In periods subsequent to the recognition of an
other-than-temporary impairment charge for fixed maturity
securities, which is not credit or foreign exchange related, AIG
generally accretes into income the discount or amortizes the
reduced premium resulting from the reduction in cost basis over
the remaining life of the security.
Fair Value Measurements of Certain Financial Assets and
Liabilities:
AIG measures at fair value on a recurring basis financial
instruments in its trading and available for sale securities
portfolios, certain mortgage and other loans receivable, certain
spot commodities, derivative assets and liabilities, securities
purchased (sold) under agreements to resell (repurchase),
securities lending invested collateral, non-marketable equity
investments, included in other invested assets, certain
policyholders contract deposits, securities and spot
commodities sold but not yet purchased, certain trust deposits
and deposits due to banks and other depositors, certain
long-term borrowings, and certain hybrid financial instruments
included in other liabilities. The fair value of a financial
instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset
or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date.
The degree of judgment used in measuring the fair value of
financial instruments generally correlates with the level of
pricing observability. Financial instruments with quoted prices
in active markets generally have more pricing observability and
less judgment is used in measuring fair value. Conversely,
financial instruments traded in other-than-active markets or
that do not have quoted prices have less observability and are
measured at fair value using valuation models or other pricing
techniques that require more judgment. Pricing observability is
affected by a number of factors, including the type of financial
instrument, whether the financial instrument is new to the
market and not yet established, the characteristics specific to
the transaction and general market conditions.
Fixed Maturities Trading and Available for
Sale
AIG maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use
of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Whenever
available, AIG obtains quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets at the balance sheet date to measure at fair
value fixed maturity instruments in its trading and available
for sale portfolios. Market price data generally is obtained
from exchange or dealer markets.
AIG estimates the fair value of fixed maturity instruments not
traded in active markets, including securities purchased
(sold) under agreements to resell (repurchase) and mortgage
and other loans receivable, for which AIG elected the fair value
option by referring to traded securities with similar
attributes, using dealer quotations and matrix pricing
methodologies, or discounted cash flow analyses. This
methodology considers such factors as the issuers
industry, the securitys rating and tenor, its coupon rate,
its position in the capital structure of the issuer, yield
curves, credit curves, prepayment rates and other relevant
factors. For fixed maturity instruments that are not traded in
active markets or that are subject to transfer restrictions,
valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or
non-transferability, and such adjustments generally are based on
available market evidence. In the absence of such evidence,
managements best estimate is used.
43
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Equity Securities Traded in Active Markets
Trading and Available for Sale
AIG maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use
of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Whenever
available, AIG obtains quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets at the balance sheet date to measure at fair
value marketable equity securities in its trading and available
for sale portfolios. Market price data generally is obtained
from exchange or dealer markets.
Direct Private Equity Securities Not Traded in Active
Markets Other Invested Assets
AIG initially estimates the fair value of equity securities not
traded in active markets by reference to the transaction price.
This valuation is adjusted only when changes to inputs and
assumptions are corroborated by evidence such as transactions in
similar instruments, completed or pending third-party
transactions in the underlying investment or comparable
entities, subsequent rounds of financing, recapitalizations and
other transactions across the capital structure, offerings in
the equity capital markets, and changes in financial ratios or
cash flows. For equity securities that are not traded in active
markets or that are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations
are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability
and such adjustments generally are based on available market
evidence. In the absence of such evidence, managements
best estimate is used. AIG initially estimates the fair value of
investments in private limited partnerships and hedge funds by
reference to the transaction price. Subsequently, AIG obtains
the fair value of these investments generally from net asset
value information provided by the general partner or manager of
the investments, the financial statements of which generally are
audited annually.
Separate and Variable Account Assets
Separate and variable account assets are composed primarily of
registered and unregistered open-end mutual funds that generally
trade daily and are measured at fair value in the manner
discussed above for equity securities traded in active markets.
Freestanding Derivatives
Derivative assets and liabilities can be exchange-traded or
traded over the counter (OTC). AIG generally values
exchange-traded derivatives within portfolios using models that
calibrate to market clearing levels and eliminate timing
differences between the closing price of the exchange-traded
derivatives and their underlying instruments.
OTC derivatives are valued using market transactions and other
market evidence whenever possible, including market-based inputs
to models, model calibration to market clearing transactions,
broker or dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources with
reasonable levels of price transparency. When models are used,
the selection of a particular model to value an OTC derivative
depends on the contractual terms of, and specific risks inherent
in, the instrument as well as the availability of pricing
information in the market. AIG generally uses similar models to
value similar instruments. Valuation models require a variety of
inputs, including contractual terms, market prices and rates,
yield curves, credit curves, measures of volatility, prepayment
rates and correlations of such inputs. For OTC derivatives that
trade in liquid markets, such as generic forwards, swaps and
options, model inputs can generally be corroborated by
observable market data by correlation or other means and model
selection does not involve significant management judgment.
Certain OTC derivatives trade in less liquid markets with
limited pricing information and the determination of fair value
for these derivatives is inherently more difficult. When AIG
does not have corroborating market evidence to support
significant model inputs and cannot verify the model to market
transactions, the transaction price is initially used as the
best estimate of fair value. Accordingly, when a pricing model
is used to value such an instrument, the model is adjusted so
the model value at inception equals the transaction price.
Subsequent to initial recognition, AIG updates valuation inputs
when corroborated by evidence such as similar market
transactions, third-party pricing services and/or broker or
dealer quotations, or other empirical market data. When
appropriate, valuations are adjusted for various factors such as
liquidity, bid/offer spreads and credit considerations. Such
adjustments are generally based on available market evidence. In
the absence of such evidence, managements best estimate is
used.
With the adoption of FAS 157 on January 1, 2008, AIGs
own credit risk has been considered and is incorporated into the
fair value measurement of all freestanding derivative
liabilities.
Embedded Policy Derivatives
The fair value of embedded policy derivatives contained in
certain variable annuity and equity-indexed annuity and life
contracts is measured based on actuarial and capital market
assumptions related to projected cash flows over the expected
lives of the contracts. These cash flow estimates primarily
include benefits and related fees assessed, when applicable, and
incorporate expectations about policyholder behavior. Estimates
of future policyholder behavior are subjective and based
primarily on AIGs historical experience. With respect to
embedded policy derivatives in AIGs variable annuity
contracts, because of the dynamic and complex nature of the
expected cash flows, risk neutral valuations are used.
Estimating the underlying cash flows for these products involves
many estimates and judgments, including those regarding expected
market rates of return, market volatility,
44
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
correlations of market index returns to funds, fund performance,
discount rates and policyholder behavior. With respect to
embedded policy derivatives in AIGs equity-indexed annuity
and life contracts, option pricing models are used to estimate
fair value, taking into account assumptions for future equity
indexed growth rates, volatility of the equity index, future
interest rates, and determination on adjusting the participation
rate and the cap on equity indexed credited rates in light of
market conditions and policyholder behavior assumptions. With
the adoption of FAS 157, these methodologies were not changed,
with the exception of incorporating an explicit risk margin to
take into consideration market participant estimates of
projected cash flows and policyholder behavior.
AIGFPs Super Senior Credit Default Swap Portfolio
AIGFP values its credit default swaps written on the most senior
risk layers (super senior) of designated pools of debt
securities or loans using internal valuation models, third-party
prices and market indices. The specific valuation methodologies
vary based on the nature of the referenced obligations and
availability of market prices. AIGFP uses a modified version of
the Binomial Expansion Technique (BET) model to value its
credit default swap portfolio written on super senior tranches
of CDOs, including maturity-shortening puts that allow the
holders of the securities issued by certain CDOs to treat the
securities as short-term eligible 2a-7 investments under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (2a-7 Puts). The BET model uses
default probabilities derived from credit spreads implied from
market prices for the individual securities included in the
underlying collateral pools securing the CDOs, as well as
diversity scores, weighted average lives, recovery rates and
discount rates. The determination of some of these inputs
requires the use of judgment and estimates, particularly in the
absence of market observable data. AIGFP also employs a Monte
Carlo simulation to assist in quantifying the effect on the
valuation of the CDOs of the unique aspects of the CDOs
structure such as triggers that divert cash flows to the most
senior part of the capital structure. In the determination of
fair value, AIGFP also considers collateral calls and the price
estimates for the super senior CDO securities provided by third
parties, including counterparties to these transactions. See
Note 3 to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information about fair value measurements.
In the case of credit default swaps written on investment-grade
corporate debt and CLOs, AIGFP estimates the value of its
obligations by reference to the relevant market indices or
third-party quotes on the underlying super senior tranches where
available.
In the case of credit default swaps written to facilitate
regulatory capital relief for AIGFPs European financial
institution counterparties, AIGFP estimates the fair value of
these derivatives by considering observable market transactions,
including the early termination of these transactions by
counterparties, and other market data, to the extent relevant.
Policyholders Contract Deposits
Policyholders contract deposits accounted for at fair
value beginning January 1, 2008 are measured using an
income approach by taking into consideration the following
factors:
|
|
|
Current policyholder account values and related surrender
charges, |
|
|
The present value of estimated future cash inflows (policy fees)
and outflows (benefits and maintenance expenses) associated with
the product using risk neutral valuations, incorporating
expectations about policyholder behavior, market returns and
other factors, and |
|
|
A risk margin that market participants would require for a
market return and the uncertainty inherent in the model inputs. |
The change in fair value of these policyholders contract
deposits is recorded as incurred policy losses and benefits in
the consolidated statement of income (loss).
Level 3 Assets and Liabilities
Under FAS 157, assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in
the consolidated balance sheet are classified in a hierarchy for
disclosure purposes consisting of three levels based
on the observability of inputs available in the marketplace used
to measure the fair value. See Note 3 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements for additional information about fair value
measurements.
At March 31, 2008, AIG classified $48.5 billion and
$31.7 billion of assets and liabilities, respectively,
measured at fair value on a recurring basis as Level 3.
This represented 5 percent and 3 percent of the total
assets and liabilities, respectively, measured at fair value on
a recurring basis. Level 3 fair value measurements are
based on valuation techniques that use at least one significant
input that is unobservable. These measurements are made under
circumstances in which there is little, if any, market activity
for the asset or liability. AIGs assessment of the
significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement
in its entirety requires judgment.
In making the assessment, AIG considers factors specific to the
asset or liability. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure
fair value of an asset or a liability may fall into different
levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in
the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement
in its entirety is classified is determined based on the lowest
level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in
its entirety.
45
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Valuation of Level 3 Assets and Liabilities
AIG values its assets and liabilities classified as Level 3
using judgment and valuation models or other pricing techniques
that require a variety of inputs including contractual terms,
market prices and rates, yield curves, credit curves, measures
of volatility, prepayment rates and correlations of such inputs,
some of which may be unobservable. The following paragraphs
describe the methods AIG uses to measure on a recurring basis
the fair value of the major classes of assets and liabilities
classified in Level 3.
Private equity and real estate fund investments: These
assets initially are valued at the transaction price, i.e., the
price paid to acquire the asset. Subsequently, they are measured
based on net asset value using information provided by the
general partner or manager of these investments, the accounts of
which generally are audited on an annual basis.
Corporate bonds and private placement debt: These assets
initially are valued at the transaction price. Subsequently,
they are valued using market data for similar instruments (e.g.,
recent transactions, bond spreads or credit default swap
spreads), comparisons to benchmark derivative indices or
movements in underlying credit spreads. When observable price
quotations are not available, fair value is determined based on
cash flow models with yield curves, bond or single-name credit
default swap spreads and recovery rates based on collateral
values as key inputs.
Certain Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (RMBS):
These assets initially are valued at the transaction price.
Subsequently, they may be valued by comparison to transactions
in instruments with similar collateral and risk profiles,
remittances received and updated cumulative loss data on
underlying obligations, discounted cash flow techniques, and/or
option adjusted spread analyses.
Certain Asset-Backed Securities (ABS)
non-mortgage: These assets initially are valued at the
transaction price. Subsequently, they may be valued based on
external price/spread data. When position-specific external
price data are not observable, the valuation is based on prices
of comparable securities.
CDOs: These assets initially are valued at the
transaction price. Subsequently, they are valued based on
external price/spread data from independent third parties,
matrix pricing, or using the BET model.
Super senior credit default swap portfolio: AIGFP writes
credit protection on the super senior risk layer of diversified
portfolios of investment-grade corporate debt, collateralized
loan obligations (CLOs) and multi-sector CDOs. AIGFP is at risk
only on the super senior portion related to a diversified
portfolio referenced to loans or debt securities, which is the
last tranche to suffer losses after significant subordination.
At March 31, 2008 the notional amounts and unrealized

The valuation of the super senior credit derivatives has become
increasingly challenging given the limitation on the
availability of market observable information due to the lack of
trading and price transparency in the structured finance market,
particularly during and since the fourth quarter of 2007. These
market conditions have increased the reliance on management
estimates and judgments in arriving at an estimate of fair value
for financial reporting purposes. Further, disparities in the
valuation methodologies employed by market participants and the
varying judgments reached by such participants when assessing
volatile markets has increased the likelihood that the various
parties to these instruments may arrive at significantly
different estimates as to their fair values.
AIGFPs valuation methodologies for the super senior credit
default swap portfolio have evolved in response to the
deteriorating market conditions and the lack of sufficient
market observable information. AIG has sought to calibrate the
model to market information and to review the assumptions of the
model on a regular basis.
AIGFP employs a modified version of the BET model to value
its credit default swap portfolio written on the super senior
securities issued by CDOs, including the embedded 2a-7 Puts. The
BET model uses default probabilities derived from credit spreads
implied from market prices for the individual securities
included in the underlying collateral pools securing the CDOs.
AIGFP obtained prices on these securities from the CDO
collateral managers.
The BET model also uses diversity scores, weighted average
lives, recovery rates and discount rates. The
46
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
determination of some of these inputs requires the use of
judgment and estimates, particularly in the absence of market
observable data. AIGFP also employs a Monte Carlo simulation to
assist in quantifying the effect on valuation of the CDO of the
unique features of the CDOs structure such as triggers
that divert cash flows to the most senior level of the capital
structure.
AIG selected the BET model for the following reasons:
|
|
|
|
|
it is known and utilized by other institutions; |
|
|
|
it has been studied extensively, documented and enhanced over
many years; |
|
|
|
it is transparent and relatively simple to apply; |
|
|
|
the parameters required to run the BET model are generally
observable; and |
|
|
|
it can easily be modified to use probabilities of default and
expected losses derived from the underlying collateral
securities market prices instead of using rating-based
historical probabilities of default. |
AIGs implementation of the BET model uses a Monte Carlo
simulation of the cash flows of each underlying CDO for various
scenarios of defaults by the underlying collateral securities.
The Monte Carlo simulation allows the model to take into account
the cash flow waterfall and to capture the benefits due to cash
flow diversion within each CDO.
The BET model has certain limitations. A well known limitation
of the BET model is that it can understate the expected losses
for super senior tranches when default correlations are high.
The model uses correlations implied from diversity scores which
do not capture the tendency for correlations to increase as
defaults increase. Recognizing this concern, AIG tested the
sensitivity of the valuations to the diversity scores. The
results of the testing demonstrated that the valuations are not
very sensitive to the diversity scores because the expected
losses generated from the prices of the collateral pool
securities are currently high, breaching the attachment point in
most transactions. Once the attachment point is breached by a
sufficient amount, the diversity scores, and their implied
correlations, are no longer a significant driver of the
valuation of a super senior tranche.
The credit default swaps written by AIGFP generally cover the
failure of payment on the super senior CDO security. AIGFP does
not own the securities in the CDO collateral pool. The credit
spreads implied from the market prices of the securities in the
CDO collateral pool incorporate the risk of default (credit
risk), the markets price for liquidity risk and in
distressed markets, the risk aversion costs. Spreads on credit
derivatives tend to be narrower than the credit spreads implied
from the market prices of the securities in the CDO collateral
pool because, unlike investing in a bond, there is no need to
fund the position (except when an actual credit event occurs).
In times of illiquidity, the difference between spreads on cash
securities and derivative instruments (the negative basis) may
be even wider for high quality assets. AIGFP was unable to
reliably verify this negative basis with market observable
inputs due to the accelerating severe dislocation, illiquidity
and lack of trading in the asset-backed securities market during
the fourth quarter of 2007 and the first quarter of 2008. The
valuations produced by the BET model therefore represent the
valuations of the underlying super senior CDO cash securities
based on AIGs assumptions about those securities, albeit
with no recognition of any potential favorable effect of the
basis differential on that valuation. AIGFP also considered the
valuation of the super senior CDO securities provided by third
parties, including counterparties to these transactions, and
made adjustments as necessary.
The most significant assumption used in developing the estimate
is the pricing of the securities within the CDO collateral
pools. These prices are used to derive default probabilities
that are used in the BET model. If the actual pricing of the
securities within the collateral pools differs from the pricing
used in estimating the fair value of the super senior credit
default swap portfolio, there is potential for material
variation in the fair value estimate. A decrease by five points
(for example, from 87 cents per dollar to 82 cents per dollar)
in the aggregate price of the securities would cause an
additional unrealized market valuation loss of approximately
$3.9 billion, while an increase in the aggregate price of the
securities by five points (for example, from 90 cents per dollar
to 95 cents per dollar) would reduce the unrealized market
valuation loss by approximately $3.7 billion. The effect on the
unrealized market valuation loss is not directly proportional to
the change in the aggregate price of the securities.
The following table presents other key inputs used in the
valuation of the credit derivative portfolio written on the
super senior securities issued by multi-sector CDOs, and the
potential increase (decrease) to the unrealized market valuation
loss at March 31, 2008 calculated using the BET model for
changes in these key inputs. The adjustments to the key inputs
incorporated in the sensitivity analysis below are based on

These results are calculated by stressing a particular
assumption independently of changes in any other assumption. No
assurance can be given that the actual levels of the key inputs
will not exceed, perhaps significantly, the ranges assumed by
AIG for purposes of the above analysis. No assumption should be
made that results calculated from the use of other changes in
these key inputs can be interpolated or extrapolated from the
results set forth above.
In the case of credit default swaps written on investment grade
corporate debt and CLOs, AIGFP estimates the value of its
obligations by reference to the relevant market indices or
third-party quotes on the underlying super senior tranches where
available.
The following table represents the relevant market credit
indices and index CDS maturity used in the valuation of the
credit default swap portfolio written on investment-grade
corporate debt and the increase (decrease) to the unrealized
market valuation loss at March 31, 2008 corresponding to
changes in these market credit indices and maturity:

These results are calculated by stressing a particular
assumption independently of changes in any other assumption. No
assurance can be given that the actual levels of the indices and
maturity will not exceed, perhaps significantly, the ranges
assumed by AIG for purposes of the above analysis. No assumption
should be made that results calculated from the use of other
changes in these indices and maturity can be interpolated or
extrapolated from the results set forth above.

Other derivatives. Valuation models that incorporate
unobservable inputs initially are calibrated to the transaction
price. Subsequent valuations are based on observable inputs to
the valuation model (e.g., interest rates, credit spreads,
volatilities, etc.). Model inputs are changed only when
corroborated by market data.
Valuation Controls
AIG is actively developing and implementing a remediation plan
to address the material weakness in internal control relating to
the fair value valuation of the AIGFP super senior credit
default swap portfolio, and oversight thereof as described in
Item 9A. of the 2007 Annual Report on
Form 10-K. AIG is
developing new systems and processes to reduce reliance on
certain manual controls that have been established as
compensating controls over valuation of this portfolio and in
other areas, and is strengthening the resources required to
remediate this weakness. Notwithstanding this need to continue
strengthening these controls, AIG has an oversight structure
that includes appropriate segregation of duties with respect to
the valuation of its financial instruments. Senior management,
independent of the trading and investing functions, is
responsible for the oversight of control and valuation policies
and for reporting the results of these controls and policies to
AIGs Audit Committee. AIG employs procedures for the
approval of new transaction types and markets, price
verification, periodic review of profit and loss, and review of
valuation models by personnel with appropriate technical
knowledge of relevant products and markets. These procedures are
performed by personnel independent of the trading and investing
functions. For valuations that require inputs with little or no
market observability, AIG compares the results of its valuation
models to actual subsequent transactions.
Operating Review
General Insurance Operations
AIGs General Insurance subsidiaries are multiple line
companies writing substantially all lines of property and
casualty insurance and various personal lines both domestically
and abroad and constitute the AIG Property Casualty Group
(formerly known as Domestic General Insurance) and the Foreign
General Insurance Group.
AIG Property Casualty Group is comprised of Commercial
Insurance, Transatlantic, Personal Lines and Mortgage Guarantee
businesses.
Commercial Insurance writes substantially all classes of
business insurance, accepting such business mainly from
insurance brokers. This provides Commercial Insurance the
opportunity to select specialized markets and retain
underwriting control. Any licensed broker is able to submit
business to Commercial Insurance without the traditional
agent-company contractual relationship, but such broker usually
has no authority to commit Commercial Insurance to accept a risk.
Transatlantic Holdings, Inc. (Transatlantic) subsidiaries offer
reinsurance capacity on both a treaty and facultative basis both
in the U.S. and abroad. Transatlantic structures
48
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
programs for a full range of property and casualty products with
an emphasis on specialty risk.
AIGs Personal Lines operations provide automobile
insurance through aigdirect.com, the newly formed operation
resulting from the 2007 combination of AIG Direct and
21st Century Insurance Group (21st Century)
operations, and the Agency Auto Division, as well as a broad
range of coverages for high net worth individuals through the
AIG Private Client Group.
The main business of the subsidiaries of UGC is the
issuance of residential mortgage guaranty insurance, both
domestically and internationally, that covers the first loss for
credit defaults on high
loan-to-value
conventional first-lien mortgages for the purchase or refinance
of one to four family residences. UGC subsidiaries also write
second-lien and private student loan guaranty insurance.
AIGs Foreign General Insurance Group writes both
commercial and consumer lines of insurance which is primarily
underwritten through American International Underwriters (AIU),
a marketing unit consisting of wholly owned agencies and
insurance companies. The Foreign General Insurance Group also
includes business written by AIGs foreign-based insurance
subsidiaries.

AIG transacts business in most major foreign currencies. The

General Insurance operating income decreased in the first three
months of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 due to
declines in both net investment income and underwriting profit
as well as net realized capital losses in the first three months
of 2008. The combined ratio for the three months ended
March 31, 2008 increased to 96.8, an increase of
9.3 points compared to the same period in 2007, primarily
due to an increase in the loss ratio of 6.2 points. The
loss ratio for accident year 2008 recorded in the first three
months of 2008 was 4.1 points higher than the loss ratio
recorded in the first three months of 2007 for accident year
2007. The increase in the accident year loss ratio was due to an
increase in Mortgage Guaranty losses as well as declining
premium rates in most casualty lines of insurance due to
competitive pressures. Increases in Mortgage Guaranty losses
accounted for a 2.9 point increase in the 2008 accident
year loss ratio. The downward cycle in the U.S. housing
market is not expected to improve until residential inventories
return to a more normal level, and AIG expects that this
downward cycle will continue to adversely affect Mortgage
Guarantys loss ratios for the foreseeable future.
Favorable development from prior years reduced incurred losses
by $127 million and $131 million in the first three
months of 2008 and 2007, respectively. The favorable development
in 2008 includes $339 million of favorable development
related to policies whose premiums vary with the level of losses
incurred (loss sensitive policies). Loss sensitive policies did
not have a significant effect in 2007. The favorable development
on loss sensitive policies had no effect on underwriting profit
as it was entirely offset by a reduction in earned premiums.
However, this reduction in earned premiums reduced the loss
ratio by 0.9 points compared to the same period in 2007. Other
loss development for the first three months of 2008 increased
incurred losses by $212 million, accounting for 3.0 points
of the increase in the loss ratio compared to the same period of
2007. Additional favorable loss development in the first three
months of 2008 and 2007, of $37 million and
$17 million, respectively (recognized in consolidation and
related to certain asbestos settlements), reduced overall
incurred losses.
General Insurance net premiums written decreased in the first
three months of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007,
primarily due to a reduction of $339 million in Commercial
Insurance loss sensitive policies and declines in Commercial
Insurance workers compensation premiums due to reductions
in statutory rates and increased competition. The decline in
Commercial Insurance was partially offset by growth in Foreign
General Insurance from both established and new distribution
channels, and the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange
rates as well as growth in Mortgage Guaranty, primarily the
domestic first-lien business.
General Insurance net investment income declined in the first
three months of 2008 by $358 million compared to the same
period in 2007. Interest and dividend income increased
$109 million in the first three months of 2008 compared to
the same period in 2007 as fixed maturities and equity
securities increased by $8.8 billion and the average yield
was substantially unchanged for both periods. Income from
partnership and mutual fund investments declined
$524 million in the first three months of 2008 compared to
the same period in 2007, primarily due to poor performance in
the equity markets in 2008. Investment expenses in the first
three months of 2008 declined $50 million compared to the
same period in 2007, primarily due to decreased interest expense
on deposit liabilities. Net realized capital losses in the first
three months of 2008 include other-than-temporary impairment
charges of $155 million compared to $46 million in the
same period of 2007. See also Capital Resources and Liquidity
and Invested Assets herein.

Commercial Insurance Results
Commercial Insurances operating income decreased in the
first three months of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007
primarily due to declines in both net investment income and
underwriting profit. The decline is also reflected in the
combined ratio, which increased 10.5 points in the first
three months of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. The
loss ratio for accident year 2008, including 1.4 points
related to Atlanta catastrophe tornado losses, recorded in the
first three months of 2008 was 3.8 points higher than the
loss ratio recorded in the first three months of 2007 for
accident year 2007. Prior year development reduced incurred
losses by $217 million in the first three months of 2008
compared to $87 million in the first three months of 2007.
The favorable development for 2008 includes $339 million of
favorable development related to loss sensitive polices. The
favorable development on loss sensitive policies had no effect
on underwriting profit as it was entirely offset by a reduction
in earned premiums. However, given the reduction in earned
premiums, there was a reduction in the loss ratio of 1.6 points
compared to the same period of 2007 related to loss sensitive
policies. Other loss development for the first three months of
2008 increased incurred losses by $122 million, accounting
for 3.6 points of the increase in the loss ratio compared to the
same period of 2007.
Commercial Insurances net premiums written declined in the
first three months of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007
primarily due to declines in workers compensation premiums
and the effect of the loss sensitive policies described above.
Commercial Insurances expense ratio increased to
23.9 in the first three months of 2008 compared to 19.2 in
the same period of 2007. Return premiums on loss sensitive
policies reduced net premiums written, without a corresponding
reduction in expenses, increasing the expense ratio by 1.4
points for the first three months of 2008 compared to the same
period in 2007. The ratio of general expenses to current period
net premiums written increased 1.9 points in the first
three months of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 as
Commercial Insurance continued to invest in systems and process
improvements to enhance operating efficiency over the long term.
The ratio of net acquisition expenses to current period net
premiums written increased 1.0 points in the first three
months of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 due to higher
commissions to brokers and a reduction in ceding commissions
resulting from increased retention of business.
Commercial Insurances net investment income declined in
the first three months of 2008 compared to the same period in
2007, as income from partnership and mutual fund investments
decreased $409 million in the first three months of 2008
compared to the same period in 2007, primarily due to poor
performance in the equity markets in 2008. This decrease was
partially offset by an increase in interest income of
$40 million in the first three months of 2008, due to
growth in the bond portfolio resulting from investment of
operating cash flows. Commercial Insurance recorded net realized
capital losses in the first three months of 2008 compared to net
realized capital gains in the same period of 2007 primarily due
to other-than-temporary impairment charges of $144 million
in the first three months of 2008, primarily related to equity
securities, compared to $36 million in the first three
months of 2007.
Transatlantic Results
Transatlantics net premiums written increased in the first
three months of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 due to
growth in domestic operations and changes in foreign exchange
rates. The increase in statutory underwriting profit in the
first three months of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007
reflects improved underwriting results in international
operations. The 2007 international underwriting results were
adversely affected by European windstorm losses. Operating
income increased in the first three months of 2008 compared to
the same period in 2007 primarily due to improved underwriting
results, partially offset by net realized capital losses in 2008
compared to net realized capital gains in 2007.
Personal Lines Results
Personal Lines operating income decreased $103 million in
the first three months of 2008 compared to the same period in
2007 due to a deterioration in underwriting performance as
reflected by the combined ratio, which increased to 103.4 in the
first three months of 2008 compared to 95.5 in the same period
in 2007. The loss ratio increased 8.5 points, including an
increase in the 2008 accident year loss ratio of 3.0 points, due
primarily to increased frequency of homeowner claims in the
Private Client Group and declining rates for automobile
policies. Prior year development increased incurred losses by
$36 million in the first three months of 2008 compared to a
reduction of $29 million in the same period in 2007,
accounting for 5.5 points of the increase in the loss ratio.
The expense ratio decreased 0.6 points in the first three months
of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007, primarily due to
expense savings following the integration of the 21st Century
operations.
Net premiums written increased in the first three months of 2008
compared to the same period in 2007 primarily due to continued
growth in the Private Client Group, and an increase in
aigdirect.com, partially offset by a reduction from the Agency
Auto business.

American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Mortgage Guaranty Results
Mortgage Guarantys operating loss in the first three
months of 2008 was $354 million compared to operating
income of $8 million in the first three months of 2007 as
the deteriorating U.S. residential housing market adversely
affected losses incurred for both the domestic first- and
second-lien businesses. Domestic first- and second-lien losses
incurred increased 363 percent and 123 percent
respectively, compared to the first three months of 2007,
resulting in loss ratios of 203.6 and 442.4, respectively,
in the first three months of 2008. Increases in domestic losses
incurred resulted in an overall loss ratio of 235.6 in the
first three months of 2008 compared to 92.2 in the first
three months of 2007. Prior year development increased incurred
losses by $68 million and $31 million for the first
three months of 2008 and 2007, respectively, accounting for 12.0
points of the increase in the 2008 loss ratio.
Net premiums written increased in the first three months of 2008
compared to the same period in 2007 primarily due to growth in
domestic first-lien premiums due to the increased use of
mortgage insurance for credit enhancement as well as better
persistency. UGC has taken steps to strengthen its underwriting
guidelines and increase rates. It also discontinued new
production for certain programs in the second-lien business
beginning in the fourth quarter of 2006. However, UGC will
continue to receive renewal premiums on that portfolio for the
life of the loans, estimated to be three to five years, and will
continue to be exposed to losses from future defaults.
The expense ratio in the first three months of 2008 was 19.8,
down from 21.7 in the same period of 2007 as premium growth
offset the effect of increased expenses related to UGCs
international expansion and the employment of additional
operational resources in the second-lien business.
UGC domestic mortgage risk in force totaled $31.5 billion
as of March 31, 2008 and the
60-day delinquency
ratio was 4.0 percent (based on number of policies,
consistent with mortgage industry practice) compared to domestic
mortgage risk in force of $25.4 billion and a delinquency
ratio of 2.1 percent at March 31, 2007. Approximately
82 percent of the domestic mortgage risk is secured by
first-lien, owner-occupied properties.
Foreign General Insurance Results
Foreign General Insurance operating income decreased in the
first three months of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007,
due primarily to decreases in net investment income and net
realized capital losses in the first three months of 2008.
Net premiums written increased 20 percent (11 percent
in original currency) in the first three months of 2008 compared
to the same period in 2007, reflecting strong growth in
commercial and consumer lines driven by new business from both
established and new distribution channels, including the late
2007 acquisition of Württembergische und Badische
Versicherungs AG (WüBa) in Germany. Net
premiums written for commercial lines increased due to new
business in the U.K. and Europe and decreases in the use of
reinsurance, partially offset by declines in premium rates.
Growth in personal accident business in Latin America, Asia and
Europe also contributed to the increase. Net premiums written
for the Lloyds syndicate Ascot and aviation continued to
decline due to rate decreases and increased market competition.
Auto production declined due to increased price competition and
underwriting actions taken to improve profitability.
The loss ratio in the first three months 2008 increased
1.2 points compared to the same period in 2007. The
increase is due to favorable loss development on prior accident
years of $17 million in the first three months of 2008
compared to $64 million in the first three months of 2007,
higher severe but non-catastrophic losses and higher losses in
aviation. Partially offsetting these increases was an
improvement in the personal accident loss ratio, particularly in
Asia.
The expense ratio in the first three months of 2008 increased
1.6 points compared to the same period in 2007. This
increase reflects the cost of realigning certain legal entities
through which Foreign General Insurance operates, the
acquisition of WüBa and the increased significance of
consumer lines of business, which have higher acquisition costs.
These factors contributed 0.8 points to the expense ratio
in the first three months of 2008. AIG expects the expense ratio
to continue to increase in 2008 due to the cost of realigning
certain legal entities through which Foreign General Insurance
operates.
Net investment income decreased in the first three months of
2008 compared to the same period in 2007. Mutual fund income was
$105 million lower than the first three months of 2007
reflecting weak performance in the equity markets in 2008,
partially offset by higher interest income of $34 million.

Presented by lines of business pursuant to statutory
reporting requirements as prescribed by the National Association
of Insurance Commissioners. |
AIGs gross reserve for losses and loss expenses represents
the accumulation of estimates of ultimate losses, including
estimates for incurred but not yet reported reserves
(IBNR) and loss expenses. The methods used to determine
loss reserve estimates and to establish the resulting reserves
are continually reviewed and updated by management. Any
adjustments resulting therefrom are reflected in operating
income currently. Because loss reserve estimates are subject to
the outcome of future events, changes in estimates are
unavoidable given that loss trends vary and time is often
required for changes in trends to be recognized and confirmed.
Reserve changes that increase previous estimates of ultimate
cost are referred to as unfavorable or adverse development or
reserve strengthening. Reserve changes that decrease previous
estimates of ultimate cost are referred to as favorable
development.
Estimates for mortgage guaranty insurance losses and loss
adjustment expense reserves are based on notices of mortgage
loan delinquencies and estimates of delinquencies that have been
incurred but have not been reported by loan servicers, based
upon historical reporting trends. Mortgage Guaranty establishes
reserves using a percentage of the contractual liability (for
each delinquent loan reported) that is based upon past
experience regarding certain loan factors such as age of the
delinquency, dollar amount of the loan and type of mortgage
loan. Because mortgage delinquencies and claims payments are
affected primarily by macroeconomic events, such as changes in
home price appreciation, interest rates and unemployment, the
determination of the ultimate loss cost requires a high degree
of judgment. AIG believes it has provided appropriate reserves
for currently delinquent loans. Consistent with industry
practice, AIG does not establish a reserve for insured loans
that are not currently delinquent, but that may become
delinquent in future periods.
At March 31, 2008, General Insurance net loss reserves
increased $1.22 billion from the prior year-end to
$70.51 billion. The net loss reserves represent loss
reserves reduced by reinsurance recoverable, net of an allowance
for unrecoverable reinsurance and applicable discount for future
investment income.
The following table classifies the components of the General
Insurance net loss reserve by business unit:

At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007,
respectively, Commercial Insurance loss reserves include
approximately $2.99 billion and $3.13 billion
($3.19 billion and $3.34 billion, respectively, before
discount), related to business written by Commercial Insurance
but ceded to American International Reinsurance Company Limited
(AIRCO) and reported in AIRCOs statutory filings.
Commercial Insurance loss reserves also include approximately
$624 million and $590 million related to business
included in AIUOs statutory filings at March 31, 2008
and December 31, 2007, respectively. |
(b) |
At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007,
respectively, Personal Lines loss reserves include
$971 million and $894 million related to business
ceded to Commercial Insurance and reported in Commercial
Insurances statutory filings. |
(c) |
At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007,
respectively, Foreign General Insurance loss reserves include
approximately $1.97 billion and $3.02 billion related
to business reported in Commercial Insurances statutory
filings. |
The Commercial Insurance net loss reserve of $47.8 billion
is comprised principally of the business of AIG subsidiaries
participating in the American Home Assurance Company (American
Home)/ National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, Pa.
(National Union) pool (10 companies) and the surplus lines
pool (Lexington Insurance Company, AIG Excess Liability
Insurance Company and Landmark Insurance Company).
Commercial Insurance cedes a quota share percentage of its other
liability occurrence and products liability occurrence business
to AIRCO. The quota share percentage ceded was 10 percent
in the first three months of 2008 and 15 percent in 2007
and covered all business written in these years for these lines
by participants in the American Home/ National Union pool.
AIRCOs loss reserves relating to these quota share
cessions from Commercial Insurance are recorded on a discounted
basis. As of March 31, 2008, AIRCO carried a discount of
approximately $200 million applicable to the
$3.19 billion in undiscounted reserves it assumed from the
54
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
American Home/ National Union pool via this quota share cession.
AIRCO also carries approximately $537 million in net loss
reserves relating to Foreign General Insurance business. These
reserves are carried on an undiscounted basis.
The companies participating in the American Home/ National Union
pool have maintained a participation in the business written by
AIU for decades. As of March 31, 2008, these AIU reserves
carried by participants in the American Home/ National Union
pool totaled approximately $1.97 billion. The remaining
Foreign General Insurance reserves are carried by American
International Underwriter Overseas, Ltd. (AIUO), AIRCO, AIG
U.K., and other smaller AIG subsidiaries domiciled outside the
United States. Statutory filings in the United States by AIG
companies reflect all the business written by
U.S. domiciled entities only, and therefore exclude
business written by AIUO, AIRCO, and all other internationally
domiciled subsidiaries. The total reserves carried at
March 31, 2008 by AIUO and AIRCO were approximately
$3.41 billion and $3.53 billion, respectively.
AIRCOs $3.53 billion in total general insurance
reserves consist of approximately $2.99 billion from
business assumed from the American Home/ National Union pool and
an additional $537 million relating to Foreign General
Insurance business.
Discounting of Reserves
At March 31, 2008, AIGs overall General Insurance net
loss reserves reflect a loss reserve discount of
$2.43 billion, including tabular and non-tabular
calculations. The tabular workers compensation discount is
calculated using a 3.5 percent interest rate and the
1979-81 Decennial Mortality Table. The non-tabular workers
compensation discount is calculated separately for companies
domiciled in New York and Pennsylvania, and follows the
statutory regulations for each state. For New York companies,
the discount is based on a five percent interest rate and the
companies own payout patterns. For Pennsylvania companies,
the statute has specified discount factors for accident years
2001 and prior, which are based on a six percent interest rate
and an industry payout pattern. For accident years 2002 and
subsequent, the discount is based on the yield of
U.S. Treasury securities ranging from one to twenty years
and the companys own payout pattern, with the future
expected payment for each year using the interest rate
associated with the corresponding Treasury security yield for
that time period. The discount is comprised of the following:
$794 million tabular discount for workers
compensation in Commercial Insurance;
$1.44 billion non-tabular discount for
workers compensation in Commercial Insurance; and
$200 million non-tabular discount for other
liability occurrence and products liability occurrence in AIRCO.
The total undiscounted workers compensation loss reserve
carried by Commercial Insurance is approximately
$13.3 billion as of March 31, 2008. The other
liability occurrence and products liability occurrence business
in AIRCO that is assumed from Commercial Insurance is discounted
based on the yield of U.S. Treasury securities ranging from
one to twenty years and the Commercial Insurance payout pattern
for this business. The undiscounted reserves assumed by AIRCO
from Commercial Insurance totaled approximately
$3.19 billion at March 31, 2008.
Quarterly Reserving Process
Management believes that the General Insurance net loss reserves
are adequate to cover General Insurance net losses and loss
expenses as of March 31, 2008. While AIG regularly reviews
the adequacy of established loss reserves, there can be no
assurance that AIGs ultimate loss reserves will not
develop adversely and materially exceed AIGs loss reserves
as of March 31, 2008. In the opinion of management, such
adverse development and resulting increase in reserves is not
likely to have a material adverse effect on AIGs
consolidated financial condition, although it could have a
material adverse effect on AIGs consolidated results of
operations for an individual reporting period.

In determining the quarterly loss development from prior
accident years, AIG conducts analyses to determine the change in
estimated ultimate loss for each accident year for each profit
center. For example, if loss emergence for a profit center is
different than expected for certain accident years, the
actuaries examine the indicated effect such emergence would have
on the reserves of that profit center. In some cases, the higher
or lower than expected emergence may result in no clear change
in the ultimate loss estimate for the accident years in
question, and no adjustment would be made to the profit
centers reserves for prior accident years. In other cases,
the higher or lower than expected emergence may result in a
larger change, either favorable or unfavorable, than the
difference between the actual and expected loss emergence. Such
additional analyses were conducted for each profit center, as
appropriate, in the first three months of 2008 to determine the
loss development from prior accident years for the first three
months of 2008. As part of its quarterly reserving process, AIG
also considers notices of claims received with respect to
emerging issues, such as those related to the U.S. mortgage

In the first three months of 2008, net loss development from
prior accident years was favorable by approximately
$164 million, including approximately $339 million of
favorable development relating to loss sensitive business (which
was offset by an equal amount of negative earned premium
development), and excluding approximately $104 million from
accretion of loss reserve discount. Excluding both the favorable
development relating to loss sensitive business and accretion of
loss reserve discount, net loss development from prior accident
years in the first three months of 2008 was adverse by
approximately $175 million. The overall favorable
development of $164 million consisted of approximately
$572 million of favorable development from accident years
2003 through 2007 partially offset by approximately
$408 million of adverse loss development from accident
years 2002 and prior. Excluding the favorable development from
loss sensitive business, the overall adverse development of
$175 million consisted of approximately $269 million
of favorable development from accident years 2003 through 2007
offset by approximately $444 million of adverse development
from accident years 2002 and prior. The adverse development from
accident years 2002 and prior was primarily related to excess
casualty business within Commercial Insurance for the 2000 and
prior accident years. The favorable development from accident
years 2003 through 2007 included approximately $300 million
in favorable development from loss sensitive business written by
AIG Risk Management, and approximately $160 million in
favorable development from business written by Lexington
Insurance Company, including Healthcare, AIG CAT Excess,
Casualty and Program business. AIG Executive Liability business
contributed approximately $50 million to the favorable
development from accident years 2004 and 2005, relating
primarily to D&O. Accident year 2007 produced overall
favorable development of approximately $35 million, which
included approximately $76 million of adverse development
from Mortgage Guaranty and $18 million of adverse
development from Personal Lines, offset by favorable development
from most classes of business in Commercial Insurance and from
Transatlantic.
2007 Net Loss Development
In the first three months of 2007, net loss development from
prior accident years was favorable by approximately
$148 million, including approximately $36 million of
adverse development pertaining to the major hurricanes in 2004
and 2005; and $18 million of adverse development from the
general reinsurance operations of Transatlantic; and excluding
approximately $116 million from accretion of loss reserve
discount. Excluding catastrophes and Transatlantic, as well as
accretion of discount, net loss development in the first three
months of 2007 from prior accident years was favorable by
approximately $202 million. The overall favorable
development of $148 million consisted of approximately
$265 million of favorable development from accident years
2003 through 2006, partially offset by approximately
$117 million of adverse development from accident years
2002 and prior. For the first three months of 2007, most classes
of AIGs business continued to experience
56
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
favorable development for accident years 2003 through 2006. The
adverse development from accident years 2002 and prior reflected
development from excess casualty within Commercial Insurance and
from Transatlantic.
Asbestos and Environmental Reserves
The estimation of loss reserves relating to asbestos and
environmental claims on insurance policies written many years
ago is subject to greater uncertainty than other types of claims
due to inconsistent court decisions as well as judicial
interpretations and legislative actions that in some cases have
tended to broaden coverage beyond the original intent of such
policies and in others have expanded theories of liability.
As described more fully in the 2007 Annual Report on
Form 10-K,
AIGs reserves relating to asbestos and environmental
claims reflect a comprehensive ground-up analysis. In the first
three months of 2008, AIG maintained the ultimate loss estimates
for asbestos and environmental claims resulting from the
recently completed reserve analyses. A relatively minor amount
of favorable incurred loss development pertaining to asbestos
was reflected in the first three months of 2008, as presented in
the table that follows. This development was primarily
attributable to one large settlement.
A summary of reserve activity, including estimates for
applicable IBNR, relating to asbestos and environmental claims
separately and combined appears in the following table. The vast
majority of such claims arise from policies written in 1984 and
prior years. The current environmental policies that AIG
underwrites on a claims-made basis have been excluded from the
following table.

Survival Ratios Asbestos and
Environmental
The following table presents AIGs survival ratios for
asbestos and environmental claims at March 31, 2008 and
2007. The survival ratio is derived by dividing the current
carried loss reserve by the average payments for the three most
recent calendar years for these claims. Therefore, the survival
ratio is a simplistic measure estimating the number of years it
would be before the current ending loss reserves for these
claims would be paid off using recent year average payments. The
March 31, 2008 survival ratio is lower than the ratio at
March 31, 2007 because the more recent periods included in
the rolling average reflect higher claims payments. In addition,
AIGs survival ratio for asbestos claims was negatively
affected by the favorable settlement described above, as well as
several similar settlements during 2007. These settlements
reduced gross and net asbestos survival ratios at March 31,
2008 by approximately 1.6 years and 3.2 years, respectively, and
reduced gross and net asbestos survival ratios at March 31, 2007
by approximately 1.0 year and 2.4 years, respectively. Many
factors, such as aggressive settlement procedures, mix of
business and level of coverage provided, have a significant
effect on the amount of asbestos and environmental reserves and
payments and the resultant survival ratio. Moreover, as
discussed above, the primary basis for AIGs determination
of its reserves is not survival ratios, but instead the
ground-up and top-down
analysis. Thus, caution should be exercised in attempting to
determine reserve adequacy for these claims based simply on this
survival ratio.
AIGs survival ratios for asbestos and environmental
claims, separately and combined were based upon a three-year
average payment. These ratios at March 31, 2008 and 2007
were as follows:

Includes an increase of $46.6 billion related to changes
in foreign exchange rates at March 31, 2008. |
Disruption in the U.S. residential mortgage and credit markets
was the key driver of operating results for the first three
months of 2008 primarily due to significant net realized capital
losses resulting from other-than-temporary impairment charges of
$4.4 billion compared to other-than-temporary impairment
charges of $392 million in the same period of 2007. In
addition, net investment income and certain products continued
to be negatively affected by the volatile markets.
Life Insurance & Retirement Services total revenues in
the first three months of 2008 reflect growth in premiums and
other considerations compared to the same period in 2007,
primarily due to strong life insurance production in the Foreign
Life Insurance & Retirement Services operations, growth
in a block of U.K. investment-oriented products and higher sales
of payout annuities in the Domestic Life Insurance operations.
Overall growth in premiums and other considerations was dampened
by a continuing shift to investment-oriented products and the
suspension in the second quarter of 2007 of new sales on certain
products in Japan pending completion of an industry wide review
by the tax authorities. This review was finalized in March 2008
and resulted in lower tax deductibility of these products.
Although sales of these products have restarted in Japan, it is
expected that sales will be at lower than historical levels.
Net investment income decreased in the first three months of
2008 compared to the same period in 2007 due to lower
partnership and mutual fund income as well as lower policyholder
investment income and trading gains and losses (together,
policyholder trading gains (losses)) reflecting equity market
declines. Policyholder trading gains and losses are offset by a
charge to incurred policy losses and benefits expense.
Policyholder trading gains and losses generally reflect the
trends in equity markets, principally in Japan and Asia.
Policyholder trading losses were $785 million in the first
three months of 2008 compared to gains of $797 million in
the same period of 2007.
The operating loss in the first three months of 2008 was
significantly affected by net realized capital losses which
totaled $4.4 billion compared to net realized capital
losses of $256 million in the same period in 2007. The
higher net realized capital losses were primarily related to
severity impairments and foreign exchange losses due to the
credit market disruption and weakening of the dollar against
Asian currencies. The higher net realized capital losses and
lower yield enhancement investment income more than offset the
positive effect of growth in underlying reserves which reflects
increased assets under management. Other factors that negatively
affected operating income in the first three months of 2008 were
trading account losses of $88 million in the U.K.
associated with certain investment-linked products and an
increase in incurred policyholder benefits of $80 million
related to a closed block of Japan business with guaranteed
benefits, partially offset by the favorable effect of foreign
exchange rates. Operating income in the first three months of
2008 included a DAC and SIA benefit of $267 million
related to net realized capital losses in the first three months
of 2008 compared to $11 million in the same period in 2007.
Operating income in the first three months of 2007 included
additional claim expense of $37 million related to the
industry wide regulatory review of claims in Japan and a
$50 million charge related to balance sheet reconciliation
remediation activities in Asia.

The most significant effect on the Life Insurance &
Retirement Services results from AIGs adoption of
FAS 157 was the change in measurement of fair value for
embedded policy derivatives. The pre-tax effect of adoption
related to embedded policy derivatives was an increase in net
realized capital losses of $155 million as of
January 1, 2008, partially offset by a $47 million DAC
benefit related to these losses. The effect of initial adoption
was primarily due to an increase in the embedded policy
derivative liability valuations resulting from the inclusion of
explicit risk margins.
AIG adopted FAS 159 on January 1, 2008 and elected to
apply the fair value option to a closed block of single premium
variable life business in Japan and for an investment-linked
product sold principally in Asia. The adoption of FAS 159
with respect to these fair value elections resulted in a
decrease to 2008 opening retained earnings of $559 million,
net of tax. The fair value of the liabilities for these policies
totaled $3.5 billion at March 31, 2008 and is reported
in policyholders contract deposits.

AIG transacts business in most major foreign currencies and
therefore premiums and other considerations reported in
U.S. dollars vary by volume and from changes in foreign
currency translation rates.
The following table summarizes the effect of changes in
foreign currency exchange rates on the growth of the Foreign
Life Insurance & Retirement Services premiums and other
considerations.
