Explanatory Note
Overview. This amendment to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2005 (First Quarter Form 10-Q/A) is being filed for purposes of amending Items 1, 2, 3 and 4 of Part I and Item 6 of Part II of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2005 (First Quarter Form 10-Q) of American International Group, Inc. (AIG), which was originally filed on June 28, 2005, and provides information about the financial results for the three month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 as restated for the restatements described in AIGs Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 (2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K). Information in this First Quarter Form 10-Q/A is generally stated as of March 31, 2005 and generally does not reflect any subsequent information or events other than the restatements, except that certain forward looking statements throughout this First Quarter Form 10-Q/A have been revised to reflect events and developments subsequent to March 31, 2005. Information regarding subsequent periods with respect to AIG is contained in the 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This filing should be considered, and read, in conjunction with such filings.
First Restatement. In connection with the preparation of AIGs consolidated financial statements included in AIGs Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 (2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K), AIGs management initiated an internal review of its books and records, which was substantially expanded in mid-March 2005 with the oversight of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of AIG. The review spanned AIGs major business units globally, and included a number of transactions from 2000 to 2004. As disclosed in the 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as a result of the findings of the internal review, together with the results of investigations by outside counsel at the request of AIGs Audit Committee and in consultation with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, AIGs independent registered public accounting firm, AIG restated its consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, 2001 and 2000, the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2004 and 2003 and the quarter ended December 31, 2003 (the First Restatement).
Second Restatement. As announced on November 9, 2005, AIG identified certain errors, the preponderance of which were identified during the remediation of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, principally relating to internal controls surrounding accounting for derivatives and related assets and liabilities under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (FAS 133), reconciliation of certain balance sheet accounts and income tax accounting. AIG also announced it was correcting errors that were identified since the First Restatement, including those relating to the accounting for certain payments received from aircraft and engine manufacturers by International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC), which were originally corrected in AIGs Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 (Second Quarter Form 10-Q). The adjustments to correct the foregoing errors are referred to in this First Quarter Form 10-Q/A as the Initial Adjustments.
In connection with the remediation of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting referred to above, AIG identified certain additional errors, principally relating to internal controls over reconciliation of certain balance sheet accounts in the Domestic Brokerage Group (DBG). As a result, AIG included further adjustments (the Additional Adjustments) in its restatement of the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, along with 2001 and 2000 for purposes of preparation of the Selected Consolidated Financial Data for 2001 and 2000, and quarterly financial information for 2004 and 2003 and in the restated consolidated financial statements included in this First Quarter Form 10-Q/A. The Initial Adjustments and the Additional Adjustments are referred to herein as the Second Restatement. AIGs quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 (September 2005 Form 10-Q) will not be amended because the Additional Adjustments to the financial statements included therein are not material to those financial statements.
The financial information that is included in this First Quarter Form 10-Q/A has been restated as part of the First Restatement and the Second Restatement (the Restatements). Only restated financial information that is being presented for the first time in this First Quarter Form 10-Q/A is identified herein as Restated. All previously presented, restated financial information is identified as such in the respective SEC filing in which the information was restated.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. | Financial Statement Presentation |
These statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments including normal recurring accruals have been made for a fair statement of the results presented herein. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain accounts have been reclassified in the 2004 financial statements to conform to their 2005 presentation. For further information, refer to the Annual Report on Form 10-K of American International Group, Inc. (AIG) for the year ended December 31, 2005 (2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K).
As more fully described in AIGs 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, which was originally filed May 31, 2005 (2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K), and AIGs Forms 10-Q/A for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004, AIG restated the accounting for certain transactions and certain relationships for the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004, as part of the restatement of its financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, 2001 and 2000, the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2004 and 2003 and the quarter ended December 31, 2003 (the First Restatement).
As announced on November 9, 2005, AIG identified certain errors, the preponderance of which were identified during the remediation of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, principally relating to internal controls surrounding accounting for derivatives and related assets and liabilities under FAS 133, reconciliation of certain balance sheet accounts and income tax accounting. Due to the significance of these corrections, AIG restated its consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, along with 2001 and 2000 for purposes of preparation of the Selected Consolidated Financial Data for 2001 and 2000, and quarterly financial information for 2004 and 2003 and the first three quarters of 2005 (the Second Restatement, and together with the First Restatement, the Restatements). As part of the Second Restatement, AIG also corrected errors that have been identified since the First Restatement, including those relating to the accounting for certain payments received from aircraft and engine manufacturers by International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC), which were originally corrected as an out-of-period item in AIGs Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 (Second Quarter Form 10-Q).

Restatements of Previously Issued Financial Statements |
The following provides a description of the accounting adjustments included in the Restatements of AIGs consolidated financial statements and the effect of the adjustments on AIGs Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 and its Consolidated Statement of Income for the three month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. All prior period amounts included in this report affected by the Restatements are presented on a restated basis.
(a) First Restatement
In connection with the preparation of AIGs consolidated financial statements included in AIGs 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K, AIGs management initiated an internal review of its books and records, which was substantially expanded in mid-March 2005 with the oversight of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of AIG. The review spanned AIGs major business units globally, and included a number of transactions from 2000 to 2004. As disclosed in the 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as a result of the findings of the internal review, together with the results of investigations by outside counsel at the request of AIGs Audit Committee and in consultation with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, AIGs independent registered public accounting firm, AIG restated its consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, 2001 and 2000, the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2004 and 2003 and the quarter ended December 31, 2003 (the First Restatement).
AIG disclosed in its 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K that it had identified a number of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, including controls over certain balance sheet reconciliations, controls over the accounting for certain derivative transactions and controls over income tax accounting. AIG has been and continues to be actively engaged in the implementation of remediation efforts to address all of these material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.
See Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of the First Restatement and a reconciliation of previously reported amounts to the restated amounts for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, 2001 and 2000, and see below for reconciliation of such amounts for the quarter ended March 31, 2004.
(b) Second Restatement
As announced on November 9, 2005, AIG identified certain additional errors, the preponderance of which were identified during the remediation of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, principally relating to internal controls surrounding accounting for derivatives and related assets and liabilities under FAS 133, reconciliation of certain balance sheet accounts and income tax accounting.
AIG also announced it was correcting errors that were identified since the First Restatement, including those relating to the accounting for certain payments received from aircraft

and engine manufacturers by ILFC, which were originally corrected in AIGs Second Quarter Form 10-Q. The adjustments to correct the foregoing errors are referred to in this First Quarter Form 10-Q/A as the Initial Adjustments.
In connection with the remediation of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting referred to above, AIG identified certain additional errors, principally relating to internal controls over reconciliation of certain balance sheet accounts in DBG. As a result, AIG included further adjustments (the Additional Adjustments) in its restatement of the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, along with 2001 and 2000 for purposes of preparation of the Selected Consolidated Financial Data for 2001 and 2000, and quarterly financial information for 2004 and 2003 and is restating the first three quarters of 2005. The Initial Adjustments and the Additional Adjustments are referred to herein as the Second Restatement. AIGs Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 will not be amended because the Additional Adjustments to the financial statements included therein are not material to those financial statements.
Details of the Initial Adjustments in the Second Restatement. The accounting adjustments relate primarily to the categories described below.
| Accounting for Derivatives (FAS 133 Hedge Accounting). During the third quarter of 2005, AIG identified and corrected additional errors identified during the remediation of the previously disclosed material weakness in internal controls surrounding accounting for derivatives and related assets and liabilities under FAS 133. |
Included in the Initial Adjustments to correct AIGs accounting for derivatives are adjustments correcting the errors in accounting for certain secured financings where AIGFP had sold an available-for-sale security and concurrently entered into a total return swap with a repurchase obligation. The Initial Adjustments for these errors increased both securities available for sale, at market value, and securities sold under agreements to repurchase, by approximately $2 billion as of December 31, 2004. | |
The Initial Adjustments to reflect appropriate GAAP accounting for these derivatives and related assets and liabilities, including related currency translation gains and losses, increased net income by approximately $70 million and decreased net income by approximately $28 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and increased total shareholders equity by approximately $367 million as of December 31, 2004. |
| Asset Realization Domestic Brokerage Group (DBG) Issues. During the third quarter of 2005, AIG concluded that additional adjustments should be made to the value of certain DBG reserves and allowances for doubtful accounts for time periods prior to January 1, 2003, resulting in an after-tax reduction in total shareholders equity at December 31, 2004 of approximately $205 million. The adjustments had no effect on net income for the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. |
| Income Tax Accounting. During the third quarter of 2005, AIG identified and corrected additional errors in its income tax accounting. The most significant adjustment resulted from AIG incorrectly recording the income tax benefit resulting from employee exercises of stock options as a reduction in income tax expense rather than as an increase in additional paid-in capital as required by GAAP. This adjustment has no effect on total shareholders equity. The effect of the income tax adjustments was to increase total tax expense by approximately $36 million and $5 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and to increase total shareholders equity as of December 31, 2004 by approximately $131 million. |
| Manufacturers Payments Received by ILFC. In the course of the ILFC review of its application of FAS 133 in connection with AIGs internal review, ILFC, in consultation with its independent registered public accounting firm, identified an error in its accounting for certain payments received from aircraft and engine manufacturers. Under arrangements with these manufacturers, in certain circumstances, the manufacturers established notional accounts for the benefit of ILFC to which amounts were credited by the manufacturers in connection with the purchase by and delivery to ILFC and the lease of aircraft. Amounts credited to the notional accounts were used at ILFCs direction to protect ILFC from certain events, including loss when airline customers of ILFC defaulted on lease payment obligations, to provide lease subsidies and other incentives to ILFCs airline customers in connection with leases of certain aircraft, and to reduce ILFCs cost of aircraft purchased. |
Historically, ILFC recorded as revenues gross lease receipts from lessees who had received lease subsidies from the notional accounts and amounts paid directly to ILFC from the notional accounts in connection with lessee defaults. Amounts recorded as revenue at the time they were disbursed to ILFC or its lessees should have been recorded as a reduction of the purchase price of the aircraft at the time of delivery. |

Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements (continued) |
Although ILFC restated its financial statements for the years 2000 through 2004 and for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 to correct its accounting for the payments from aircraft and engine manufacturers described above, AIG had previously considered these adjustments not to be sufficiently material to require correction by restatement in AIGs consolidated financial statements. The effect of the adjustments included in the Second Restatement relating to the manufacturers payments was to decrease other revenues and net income by approximately $31 million and $12 million and $18 million and $4 million, respectively, for the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. Additionally, total shareholders equity was reduced by approximately $320 million as of December 31, 2004. |
Details of Additional Adjustments in the Second Restatement. The accounting adjustments relate primarily to the categories described below.
| Asset Realization and Revenue Recognition Domestic Brokerage Group (DBG) Issues. During the remediation of material weaknesses in internal controls, AIG concluded that additional adjustments should be made to the value of certain DBG reserves and allowances for doubtful accounts, and revisions were necessary to the revenues previously recognized for certain long-tail environmental policies. |
The Additional Adjustments to reflect the asset realization and revenue recognition revisions had the following effects on consolidated net income and total shareholders equity:

The Additional Adjustments to reflect appropriate GAAP accounting for these derivatives which also included related currency translation gains and losses, had the following effects on certain of AIGs consolidated statement of income and balance sheet accounts:

(a) | Assumes conversion of contingently convertible bonds due to the adoption of EITF Issue No. 04-8 Accounting Issues Related to Certain Features of Contingently Convertible Debt and the Effect on Diluted Earnings per Share. |
(b) | Certain shares arising from employee stock plans were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share where the exercise price of the options exceeded the average market price and would have been antidilutive. The number of shares excluded were 22 million and 8 million for the first three months of 2005 and 2004, respectively. |
Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure, an amendment to FASB Statement No. 123 (FAS 148), AIG adopted the Prospective Method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation effective January 1, 2003. FAS 148 also requires that AIG disclose the effect of stock-based compensation expense that would have been recognized if the fair value based method had been applied to all the awards vesting in the current period.
The effect with respect to stock-based compensation expense that would have been recognized if the fair value based method had been applied to all the awards vesting in both the first three months of 2005 and 2004 was less than $0.005 per share.
The quarterly dividend rate per common share, commencing with the dividend paid March 18, 2005 is $0.125.
5. | Benefits Provided by Starr International Company, Inc. |
Starr International Company, Inc. (SICO) has provided a series of two-year Deferred Compensation Profit Participation Plans (SICO Plans) to certain AIG employees. The SICO Plans came into being 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.
Participation in the SICO Plans by any person, and the amount of such participation, has been at the sole discretion of SICOs Board of Directors. 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 entry to additional paid-in capital reflecting amounts deemed contributed by SICO. The SICO Plans provide that shares currently owned by SICO may be 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. In addition, SICOs Board of Directors currently may elect to pay a participant cash in lieu of shares of AIG common stock. See also Note 7(f) herein.
SICO has also provided certain personal benefits to AIG employees. The cost of such benefits, primarily attributable to personal use of corporate aircraft, has not been included in compensation expense.
Compensation expense with respect to the SICO Plans aggregated $7 million and $14 million for the first three months of 2005 and 2004, respectively.

6. | Ownership and Transactions With Related Parties |
(a) Ownership: The directors and officers of AIG, together with C.V. Starr & Co., Inc. (Starr), a private holding company, The Starr Foundation, and SICO, a private holding company, owned or otherwise controlled approximately 19 percent of the voting stock of AIG at March 31, 2005. Five directors of AIG served as directors of Starr and SICO as of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004. As of April 30, 2005, no director of AIG serving as an executive officer of AIG served as a director of Starr or SICO.
(b) Transactions with Related Parties: During the ordinary course of business, AIG and its subsidiaries pay commissions to Starr and its subsidiaries for the production and management of insurance business. There are no significant receivables from/payables to related parties at March 31, 2005.
7. | Commitments and Contingent Liabilities |
In the normal course of business, various commitments and contingent liabilities are entered into by AIG and certain of its subsidiaries. In addition, AIG guarantees various obligations of certain subsidiaries.
(a) 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 vast majority of AIGs derivative activity is transacted by AIGs Capital Markets operations, comprised of AIG Financial Products Corp. and AIG Trading Group Inc. and their subsidiaries (AIGFP). (See also Note 20 in AIGs 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.)
(b) Securities sold, but not yet purchased and spot commodities sold but not yet purchased represent obligations of AIGFP to deliver specified securities and spot commodities at their contracted prices. AIGFP records a liability to repurchase the securities and spot commodities in the market at prevailing prices.
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. Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 from Capital Markets operations were $756 million and $361 million, respectively.
(c) At March 31, 2005, ILFC had committed to purchase 322 new and used aircraft deliverable from 2005 through 2010 at an estimated aggregate purchase price of $19.5 billion and had options to purchase 6 new aircraft deliverable through 2007 at an estimated aggregate purchase price of $361 million. 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.
(d) AIG and its subsidiaries, in common with the insurance industry in general, are subject to litigation, including claims for punitive damages, in the normal course of their business. The recent trend of increasing jury awards and settlements makes it difficult to assess the ultimate outcome of such litigation.
AIG continues to receive claims asserting injuries from toxic waste, hazardous substances, and other environmental pollutants and alleged damages to cover the cleanup costs of hazardous waste dump sites (hereinafter collectively referred to as environmental claims) and indemnity claims asserting injuries from asbestos. Estimation of asbestos and environmental claims loss reserves is a difficult process, as these claims, which emanate from policies written in 1984 and prior years, cannot be estimated by conventional reserving techniques. Asbestos and environmental claims development is affected by factors such as inconsistent court resolutions, the broadening of the intent of policies and scope of coverage and increasing number of new claims. AIG, together with other industry members, has and will continue to litigate the broadening judicial interpretation of policy coverage and the liability issues. If the courts continue in the future to expand the intent of the policies and the scope of the coverage, as they have in the past, additional liabilities would emerge for amounts in excess of reserves held. This emergence cannot now be reasonably estimated, but could have a material effect on AIGs future operating results. The reserves carried for these claims at March 31, 2005 ($3.48 billion gross; $1.49 billion net) are believed to be adequate as these reserves are based on known facts and current law.
(e) 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.
(f) On June 27, 2005, AIG entered into agreements pursuant to which AIG agrees, subject to certain conditions, to (i) 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 defined in Note 5) and (ii) make any payment to the extent not promptly paid by Starr with respect to amounts that become payable to certain
21
7. | Commitments and Contingent Liabilities (continued) |
employees of AIG and its subsidiaries who are also stockholders of Starr after the giving of a notice of repurchase or redemption under Starrs organizational documents. In January 2006, Starr announced that it had completed its tender offer to purchase interests in Starr and that all eligible shareholders had tendered their shares. As a result of completion of the tender offer, no executive currently holds any Starr interests.
(g) 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). 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 their complaint, 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 and have asserted, inter alia, 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. 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 January 28, 2005, the Alabama trial court determined that one of the current actions may proceed as a class action on behalf of the 1999 classes that were allegedly defrauded by the settlement. AIG, its subsidiaries, and Caremark are seeking appellate relief from the Alabama Supreme Court. AIG cannot now estimate either the likelihood of its prevailing in these actions or the potential damages in the event liability is determined.
(h) On December 30, 2004, an arbitration panel issued its ruling in connection with a 1998 workers compensation quota share reinsurance agreement under which Superior National Insurance Company, among others, was reinsured by The United States Life Insurance Company in the City of New York (USLIFE), a subsidiary of American General Corporation. In its 2-1 ruling the arbitration panel refused to rescind the contract as requested by USLIFE. Instead, the panel reformed the contract to reduce USLIFEs participation by ten percent. USLIFE disagrees with the ruling and is pursuing all appropriate legal remedies. USLIFE has certain reinsurance recoverables in connection with the contract and the arbitration ruling established a second phase of arbitration in which USLIFE will present its challenges to cessions to the contract.
AIG recorded approximately a $178 million pre-tax charge in the fourth quarter of 2004 related to this matter and holds a reserve of approximately $349 million as of March 31, 2005.
(i) Regulators from several states have commenced investigations into insurance brokerage practices related to contingent commissions and other broker-related conduct, such as alleged bid rigging. Various parties, including insureds and shareholders, have also asserted putative class action and other claims against AIG or its subsidiaries alleging, among other things, violations of the antitrust and federal securities laws, and AIG expects that additional claims may be made.
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). The settlements resolved outstanding litigation filed by the SEC, NYAG and DOI against AIG and concluded negotiations with these authorities and the DOJ 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. The 2005 financial statements include a fourth quarter after-tax charge of $1.15 billion to record the settlements.
As a result of these settlements, AIG made payments totaling approximately $1.64 billion, $225 million of which represented fines and penalties. A substantial portion of the money will be available to resolve claims asserted in various regulatory and civil proceedings, including shareholder lawsuits.
Also, as part of the settlements, AIG has agreed to retain for a period of three years an independent consultant who will conduct a review that will include the adequacy of AIGs internal control over financial reporting and the remediation plan that AIG has implemented as a result of its own internal review.
Various federal and state regulatory agencies are reviewing certain other 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 the subpoenas.
22
7. | Commitments and Contingent Liabilities (continued) |
A number of lawsuits have been filed regarding the subject matter of the investigations of insurance brokerage practices, including derivative actions, individual actions and class actions under the federal securities laws, Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) and state common and corporate laws in both federal and state courts, including the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Southern District of New York), in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Superior Court and in Delaware Chancery Court. All of these actions generally allege that AIG and its subsidiaries violated the law by allegedly concealing a scheme to rig bids and steer business between insurance companies and insurance brokers.
Since October 19, 2004, AIG or its subsidiaries have been named as a defendant in fifteen complaints that were filed in federal court and two that were originally filed in state court (Massachusetts and Florida) and removed to federal court. These cases generally allege that AIG and its subsidiaries violated federal and various state antitrust laws, as well as federal RICO laws, various state deceptive and unfair practice laws and certain state laws governing fiduciary duties. The alleged basis of these claims is that there was a conspiracy between insurance companies and insurance brokers with regard to the use of contingent commission agreements, bidding practices, and other broker-related conduct concerning coverage in certain sectors of the insurance industry. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation entered an order on February 17, 2005, consolidating most of these cases and transferring them to the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (District of New Jersey). The remainder of these cases have been transferred to the District of New Jersey. On August 15, 2005, the plaintiffs in the multidistrict litigation filed a Corrected First Consolidated Amended Commercial Class Action Complaint, which, in addition to the previously named AIG defendants, names new AIG subsidiaries as defendants. Also on August 15, 2005, AIG and two subsidiaries were named as defendants in a Corrected First Consolidated Amended Employee Benefits Class Action Complaint filed in the District of New Jersey, which asserts similar claims with respect to employee benefits insurance and a claim under ERISA on behalf of putative classes of employers and employees. On November 29, 2005, the AIG defendants, along with other insurer defendants and the broker defendants filed motions to dismiss both the Commercial and Employee Benefits Complaints. Plaintiffs have filed a motion for class certification in the consolidated action. In addition, complaints were filed against AIG and several of its subsidiaries in Massachusetts and Florida state courts, which have both been stayed. In the Florida action, the plaintiff has filed a petition for a writ of certiorari with the District Court of Appeals of the State of Florida, Fourth District with respect to the stay order. On February 9, 2006, a complaint against AIG and several of its subsidiaries was filed in Texas state court, making claims similar to those in the federal cases above.
In April and May 2005, amended complaints were filed in the consolidated derivative and securities cases, as well as in one of the ERISA lawsuits, pending in the Southern District of New York adding allegations concerning AIGs accounting treatment for non-traditional insurance products. In September 2005, a second amended complaint was filed in the consolidated securities cases adding allegations concerning AIGs First Restatement. Also in September 2005, a new securities action complaint was filed in the Southern District of New York, asserting claims premised on the same allegations made in the consolidated cases. Motions to dismiss have been filed in the securities actions. In September 2005, a consolidated complaint was filed in the ERISA case pending in the Southern District of New York. Motions to dismiss have been filed in that ERISA case. Also in April 2005, new derivative actions were filed in Delaware Chancery Court, and in July and August 2005, two new derivative actions were filed in the Southern District of New York asserting claims duplicative of the claims made in the consolidated derivative action.
In July 2005, a second amended complaint was filed in the consolidated derivative case in the Southern District of New York, expanding upon accounting-related allegations, based upon the First Restatement and, in August 2005, an amended consolidated complaint was filed. In June 2005, the derivative cases in Delaware were consolidated. AIGs Board of Directors has appointed a special committee of independent directors to review the matters asserted in the derivative complaints. The courts have approved agreements staying the derivative cases pending in the Southern District of New York and in Delaware Chancery Court while the special committee of independent directors performs its work. In September 2005, a shareholder filed suit in Delaware Chancery Court seeking documents relating to some of the allegations made in the derivative suits. AIG filed a motion to dismiss in October 2005.
In late 2002, a derivative action was filed in Delaware Chancery Court in connection with AIGs transactions with certain entities affiliated with Starr and SICO. In May 2005, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint which adds additional claims premised on allegations relating to insurance brokerage practices and AIGs non-traditional insurance products. Plaintiffs in that case have agreed to dismiss newly added allegations unrelated to transactions with entities affiliated with Starr and SICO without prejudice to pursuit of these claims in the separate derivative actions described above. On February 16, 2006, the Delaware Chancery Court
23
7. | Commitments and Contingent Liabilities (continued) |
entered an order dismissing the litigation with prejudice with respect to AIGs outside directors and dismissing the claims against the remaining AIG defendants without prejudice.
AIG cannot predict the outcome of the matters described above or estimate the potential costs related to these matters and, accordingly, no reserve is being established in AIGs financial statements at this time. In the opinion of AIG management, AIGs ultimate liability for the 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.
(j) On July 8, 2005, SICO filed a complaint against AIG in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint alleges that AIG is in the possession of items, including artwork, which SICO claims it owns, and seeks an order causing AIG to release those items as well as actual, consequential, punitive and exemplary damages. On September 27, 2005, AIG filed its answer to SICOs complaint denying SICOs allegations and asserting counter-claims for breach of contract, unjust enrichment, conversion and breach of fiduciary duty relating to SICOs breach of its commitment to use its AIG shares for the benefit of AIG and its employees. On October 17, 2005, SICO replied to AIGs counter-claims and additionally sought a judgment declaring that SICO is neither a control person nor an affiliate of AIG for purposes of Schedule 13D under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), and Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), respectively. AIG responded to the SICO claims and sought a dismissal of SICOs claims on November 7, 2005.
(k) AIG subsidiaries own interests in certain limited liability companies (LLCs) which invested in six coal synthetic fuel production facilities. The sale of coal synthetic fuel produced by these six facilities generates income tax credits. One of the conditions a taxpayer must meet to qualify for coal synfuel tax credits is that the synfuel production facility must have been placed in service before July 1, 1998. On July 1, 2005, Internal Revenue Service (IRS) field agents issued notices of proposed adjustment to the LLCs proposing to disallow all of the credits taken by the LLCs during the years 2001 through 2003. The IRS field agents subsequently conceded that one of the facilities was timely placed in service, but they contend that none of the other underlying production facilities were placed in service by the statutory deadline. On October 3, 2005, IRS field agents issued 60-day letters to the LLCs proposing to disallow the tax credits taken with respect to synfuel sales by the remaining five production facilities. By letters dated February 17, 2006, the IRS field agents have advised the LLCs that they have, after further review, concluded that all six production facilities were placed in service before July 1, 1998 and that they will withdraw the 60-day letters issued to the LLCs.
Tax credits generated from the production and sale of synthetic fuel under section 29 of the Internal Revenue Code are subject to an annual phase-out provision that is based on the average wellhead price of domestic crude oil. The price range within which the tax credits are phased-out was originally established in 1980 and is adjusted annually for inflation. Depending on the price of domestic crude oil for a particular year, all or a portion of the tax credits generated in that year might be eliminated. Although AIG cannot predict the future price of domestic crude oil for the years 2006 and 2007 (the final year the tax credits are available), AIG does not expect the phase-out provision to affect tax credits generated in 2005. AIG has also entered into hedges designed to mitigate a portion of its future exposure to a sustained high price of oil. However, no assurance can be given as to the effectiveness of the hedging in actually reducing such exposure or whether such hedging will continue.
(l) 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. AIG anticipates that additional current and former employees could receive similar notices in the future as the regulatory investigations proceed.
(m) In August 2005, the Bureau of Labor Insurance in Taiwan began to levy a monthly administrative penalty against Nan Shan for not providing its agency leaders a choice between alternative government pension plans. Nan Shan has reached an agreement with the agency union and the ultimate liability is not material to AIGs consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

AIG. As a result, AIG expects to include the compensation expense related to the 2006 tender offer in its consolidated financial statements for the first quarter of 2006.
AIG is currently assessing the effect of FAS 123R and believes the effect will not be material to AIGs financial condition or results of operations.
On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29 (FAS 153). FAS 153 amends APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions. The amendments made by FAS 153 are based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. Further, the amendments eliminate the narrow exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replace it with a broader exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. Previously, APB Opinion No. 29 required that the accounting for an exchange of a productive asset for a similar productive asset or an equivalent interest in the same or similar productive asset should be based on the recorded amount of the asset relinquished. The provisions in FAS 153 are effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges beginning July 1, 2005. The adoption of FAS 153 did not have a material effect on AIGs financial condition or results of operations.
In March 2005, FASB issued FSP FIN46R-5 Implicit Variable Interests under FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FSP FIN46R-5) to address whether a reporting enterprise has an implicit variable interest in a variable interest entity (VIE) or potential VIE when specific conditions exist. Although implicit variable interests are mentioned in FIN46(R), the term is not defined and only one example is provided. This FSP FIN46R-5 offers additional guidance, stating that implicit variable interests are implied financial interests in an entity that change with changes in the fair value of the entitys net assets exclusive of variable interests. An implicit variable interest acts the same as an explicit variable interest except it involves the absorbing and/or receiving of variability indirectly from the entity (rather than directly). The identification of an implicit variable interest is a matter of judgment that depends on the relevant facts and circumstances. FSP FIN46R-5 is effective for the second quarter of 2005. The adoption of FSP FIN46R-5 did not have a material effect on AIGs financial condition or results of operations.
On June 1, 2005, the FASB issued Statement No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (FAS 154). FAS 154 replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes and FASB Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. FAS 154 requires that a voluntary change in accounting principle be applied retrospectively with all prior period financial statements presented on the new accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to do so. FAS 154 also provides that a correction of errors in previously issued financial statements should be termed a restatement. The new standard is effective for accounting changes and correction of errors beginning January 1, 2006.
At the June 2005 meeting, the EITF reached a consensus with respect to Issue No. 04-5, Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights. The Issue addresses what rights held by the limited partner(s) preclude consolidation in circumstances in which the sole general partner would consolidate the limited partnership in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles absent the existence of the rights held by the limited partner(s). Based on that consensus, the EITF also agreed to amend the consensus in Issue No. 96-16, Investors Accounting for an Investee When the Investor Has a Majority of the Voting Interest but the Minority Shareholders Have Certain Approval or Veto Rights. The guidance in this Issue is effective after June 29, 2005 for general partners of all new limited partnerships formed and for existing limited partnerships for which the partnership agreements are modified. For general partners in all other limited partnerships, the guidance in this Issue is effective beginning January 1, 2006. The effect of the adoption of this EITF Issue on existing partnerships that were modified and new partnerships entered into after June 29, 2005, was not material to AIGs financial condition or results of operations. For all other partnerships, AIG is currently assessing the effect of adopting this EITF Issue.
On June 29, 2005, FASB issued Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. B38, Embedded Derivatives: Evaluation of Net Settlement with Respect to the Settlement of a Debt Instrument through Exercise of an Embedded Put Option or Call Option. This implementation guidance relates to the potential settlement of the debtors obligation to the creditor that would occur upon exercise of the put option or call option, which meets the net settlement criterion in FAS 133 paragraph 9(a). The effective date of the implementation guidance is January 1, 2006. AIG is currently assessing the effect of implementing this guidance.
On June 29, 2005, FASB issued Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. B39, Application of Paragraph 13(b) to Call Options That Are Exercisable Only by the Debtor. The conditions in FAS 133 paragraph 13(b) do not apply to an embedded call option in a hybrid instrument containing a debt host contract if the right to accelerate the settlement of the debt can be exercised only by the debtor (issuer/ borrower). This guidance does not apply to other embedded
26

derivative features that may be present in the same hybrid instrument. The effective date of the implementation guidance is January 1, 2006. AIG is currently assessing the effect of implementing this guidance.
On September 19, 2005, FASB issued Statement of Position 05-1, Accounting by Insurance Enterprises for Deferred Acquisition Costs in Connection with Modifications or Exchanges of Insurance Contracts. SOP 05-1 provides guidance on accounting for deferred acquisition costs on internal replacements of insurance and investment contracts other than those specifically described in FASB Statement No. 97, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Long-Duration Contracts and for Realized Gains and Losses from the Sale of Investments. The SOP defines an internal replacement as a modification in product benefits, features, rights, or coverage that occurs by the exchange of a contract for a new contract, or by amendment, endorsement, or rider to a contract, or by the election of a feature or coverage within a contract. The effective date of the implementation guidance is January 1, 2007. AIG is currently assessing the effect of implementing this guidance.
On February 16, 2006, the FASB issued FAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments (FAS 155), an amendment of FAS 140 and FAS 133. FAS 155 permits the Company to elect to measure any hybrid financial instrument at fair value (with changes in fair value recognized in earnings) if the hybrid instrument contains an embedded derivative that would otherwise be required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately under FAS 133. The election to measure the hybrid instrument at fair value is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable. FAS 155 will be effective for all instruments acquired, issued, or subject to a remeasurement event occurring after the beginning of AIGs fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, with earlier adoption permitted as of the beginning of 2006, provided that financial statements for any interim period of that fiscal year have not been issued. AIG has elected to early adopt FAS 155 as of January 1, 2006. This change in accounting will not have a material effect on AIGs results of operations or financial condition.

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 has also incorporated into this discussion a number of cross-references to additional information included throughout this Form 10-Q/A to assist readers seeking related information on a particular subject.
Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements
In connection with preparation of AIGs consolidated financial statements included in AIGs 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K, AIGs current management initiated an internal review of AIGs books and records, which was substantially expanded in mid-March 2005. As a result of the internal review, AIG concluded that the accounting for certain transactions and certain relationships needed to be restated or adjusted. AIG restated the accounting for certain transactions and certain relationships for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, 2001 and 2000, the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2004 and 2003 and the quarter ended December 31, 2003 (the First Restatement).
As announced on November 9, 2005, AIG identified certain errors, the preponderance of which were identified during the remediation of material weaknesses in internal controls referred to in the Explanatory Note, principally relating to internal controls surrounding accounting for derivatives and related assets and liabilities under FAS 133, reconciliation of certain balance sheet accounts and income tax accounting. AIG also announced it was correcting errors that were identified since the First Restatement, including those related to the accounting for certain payments received from aircraft and engine manufacturers by ILFC, which were originally corrected in AIGs Second Quarter Form 10-Q. The adjustments to correct the foregoing errors are referred to in this First Quarter Form 10-Q/A as the Initial Adjustments.
In connection with the remediation of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting referred to in the Explanatory Note, AIG identified certain additional errors, principally relating to internal controls over reconciliation of certain balance sheet accounts in DBG. As a result, AIG is including further adjustments (the Additional Adjustments) in its restatement of the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, along with 2001 and 2000 for purposes of the preparation of the Selected Consolidated Financial Data for 2001 and 2000, and quarterly financial information for 2004 and 2003 and is restating the first three quarters of 2005. The Initial Adjustments and the Additional Adjustments are referred to herein as the Second Restatement. AIGs quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 (September 2005 Form 10-Q) will not be amended because the Additional Adjustments to the financial statements included therein are not material to those financial statements.
The financial information that is included in this First Quarter Form 10-Q/A has been restated as part of the First Restatement and the Second Restatement (the Restatements).
Overview of Operations and Business Results
AIG identifies its reportable segments by product line consistent with its management structure. AIGs major product and service groupings are General Insurance, Life Insurance & Retirement Services, Financial Services and Asset Management. AIGs operations in 2005 are conducted by its subsidiaries principally through these segments. Through these segments, AIG provides insurance 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. The importance of this diversification was especially evident in 2004, when record catastrophe losses in certain insurance operations were more than offset by profitability in those operations as well as in other segments and product lines. Although regional economic downturns or political upheaval could negatively affect parts of AIGs operations, AIG believes that its diversification makes it unlikely that regional difficulties would have a material effect on its operating results, financial condition or liquidity.
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 one of 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 and offers guaranteed investment contracts, also known as funding agreements, (GICs) to institutions and individuals.
AIGs operating performance reflects implementation of various long-term strategies and defined goals in its various operating segments.
A primary goal of AIG in managing its General Insurance operations is to achieve an underwriting profit. To achieve this goal, AIG must be disciplined in its risk selection and premiums must be adequate and terms and conditions
34
Another central focus of AIG operations in current years is the development and expansion of new distribution channels. In 2004, AIG expanded its distribution channels in many Asian countries, which now include banks, credit card companies and television-media home shopping. In late 2003, AIG entered into an agreement with PICC Property and Casualty Company, Limited (PICC), which will enable the marketing of accident and health products throughout China through PICCs branch networks and agency system. AIG participates in the underwriting results through a reinsurance agreement and also holds a 9.9 percent ownership interest in PICC. Other examples of new distribution channels used both domestically and overseas include banks, affinity groups, direct response and e-commerce.
AIG patiently builds relationships in markets around the world where it sees long-term growth opportunities. For example, the fact that AIG has the only wholly-owned foreign life insurance operations in eight cities in China is the result of relationships developed over nearly 30 years. AIGs more recent extensions of operations into India, Vietnam, Russia and other emerging markets reflect the same growth strategy. Moreover, AIG believes in investing in the economies and infrastructures of these countries and growing with them. When AIG companies enter a new jurisdiction, they typically offer both basic protection and savings products. As the economies evolve, AIGs products evolve with them, to more sophisticated and investment-oriented models.
Growth for AIG may be generated both internally and through acquisitions which both fulfill strategic goals and offer adequate return on capital. In recent years, the acquisitions of AIG Star Life and AIG Edison Life have broadened AIGs penetration of the Japanese market through new distribution channels and will result in operating efficiencies as they are integrated into AIGs previously existing companies operating in Japan.
AIG provides leadership on issues of concern to the global and local economies as well as the insurance and financial services industries. In recent years, efforts to reform the tort system and class action litigation procedures, legislation to deal with the asbestos problem and the renewal of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act have been key issues, while in prior years trade legislation and Superfund had been issues of concern.
The following table summarizes AIGs revenues, income before income taxes, minority interest and cumulative effect of an accounting change and net income for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004:

Consolidated Results
The 17.1 percent growth in revenues in the first three months of 2005 was primarily attributable to the growth in net premiums earned from global General Insurance operations as well as growth in both General Insurance and Life Insurance & Retirement Services net investment income and Life Insurance & Retirement Services GAAP premiums.
AIGs income before income taxes, minority interest and cumulative effect of an accounting change increased 47.0 percent in the first three months of 2005 when compared to the same period of 2004. General Insurance, Life Insurance & Retirement Services, Financial Services, and Asset Management operating income gains were the primary factors for the increase over 2004 in both pretax income and net income.

General Insurance
AIGs General Insurance operations provide property and casualty products and services throughout the world. The increase in General Insurance operating income in the first three months of 2005 compared to the same period of 2004 was primarily attributable to strong growth in operating income with respect to Domestic Brokerage Groups and Foreign Generals operations, offset by a decrease in realized capital gains for the segment in the first three months of 2005 compared to the same period of 2004. DBGs operating income included additional losses in the first three months of 2005 resulting from increased labor and material costs related to the 2004 Florida hurricanes.
Life Insurance & Retirement Services
AIGs Life Insurance & Retirement Services operations provide insurance, financial and investment products throughout the world. Foreign operations provided approximately 55 percent of AIGs Life Insurance & Retirement Services operating income for the first quarter of 2005.
Life Insurance & Retirement Services operating income increased by 24.7 percent in the first three months of 2005 when compared to the same period of 2004. This increase resulted from growth in AIGs principal Life Insurance & Retirement Services businesses, and the decline in realized capital losses in 2005 compared to 2004.
Financial Services
AIGs Financial Services subsidiaries engage in diversified activities including aircraft and equipment leasing, capital market transactions, consumer finance and insurance premium financing.
Financial Services operating income increased by 78.9 percent in the first three months of 2005 compared to the same period of 2004, primarily due to the fluctuation in earnings resulting from the accounting effect of FAS 133. Fluctuations in revenues and operating income from quarter to quarter are not unusual because of the transaction-oriented nature of Capital Markets operations and the effect of not qualifying for hedge accounting treatment under FAS 133 for hedges on securities available for sale and borrowings. Consumer Finance operations increased revenues and operating income, both domestically and internationally.
Asset Management
AIGs Asset Management operations include institutional and retail asset management and broker dealer services and spread-based investment business from the sale of GICs. These products and services are offered to individuals and institutions, both domestically and overseas.
Asset Management operating income increased 35.3 percent in the first three months of 2005 when compared to the same period of 2004 as a result of the upturn in worldwide financial markets and a strong global product portfolio.
Capital Resources
At March 31, 2005, AIG had total consolidated shareholders equity of $81.61 billion and total consolidated borrowings of $106.02 billion. At that date, $96.51 billion of such borrowings were either not guaranteed by AIG or were AIGFPs matched borrowings under obligations of guaranteed investment agreements (GIAs), liabilities connected to trust preferred stock, or matched notes and bonds payable.
During the period from January 1, 2005 through March 31, 2005, AIG purchased in the open market 2,477,100 shares of its common stock.
Liquidity
At March 31, 2005, AIGs consolidated invested assets included $24.38 billion in cash and short-term investments. Consolidated net cash used in operating activities in the first three months of 2005 amounted to $434 million. The $434 million in consolidated net cash used in operating activities is net of approximately $8 billion used by AIGFP to purchase securities purchased under agreements to resell and to repurchase securities sold under agreements to repurchase in the ordinary course of AIGFPs business.

Outlook
From March through June of 2005, the major rating agencies downgraded AIGs ratings in a series of actions. Standard & Poors, a division of the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (S&P), lowered the long-term senior debt and counterparty ratings of AIG from AAA to AA (second highest of eight rating categories) and changed the rating outlook to negative. S&Ps outlook indicates the potential direction of a rating over the intermediate term (typically six months to two years). A negative outlook means that a rating may be lowered; however, an outlook is not necessarily a precursor to a rating change. Moodys Investors Service (Moodys) lowered AIGs long-term senior debt rating from Aaa to Aa2 (second highest of nine rating categories) with a stable outlook. Moodys appends numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 to the generic rating categories to show relative position within rating categories. Fitch Ratings (Fitch) downgraded the long-term senior debt ratings of AIG from AAA to AA (second highest of nine rating categories) and placed the ratings on Rating Watch Negative. A Fitch Rating Watch notifies investors that there is a reasonable probability of a rating change and the likely direction of such change. A Rating Watch Negative indicates a potential downgrade. Rating Watch is typically resolved over a relatively short period. In April 2006, Fitch removed AIG from Rating Watch Negative and affirmed its rating with a stable outlook.
The agencies also took rating actions on AIGs insurance subsidiaries. S&P lowered the financial strength ratings of AIGs insurance subsidiaries to AA+ (second highest rating of eight rating categories) and assigned a negative rating outlook. Fitch also lowered the financial strength ratings of AIGs insurance companies to AA+ (second highest of nine rating categories) and placed them on Rating Watch Negative. In April 2006, Fitch removed the financial strength ratings from Rating Watch Negative and affirmed them with a stable outlook. S&P and Fitch ratings may be modified by the addition of a plus or minus sign to show relative standing within the major rating categories. Moodys lowered the insurance financial strength ratings generally to either Aa1 or Aa2 (both within the second highest of nine rating categories) with a stable outlook. A.M. Best downgraded the financial strength ratings of most of AIGs insurance subsidiaries from A++ to A+ (second highest of fourteen rating levels) and the issuer credit ratings from aa+ to aa- (remaining within the second highest of nine rating levels) and placed the ratings under review with negative implications. An under review modifier by A.M. Best is assigned to a company whose rating opinion is under review and may be subject to change in the near-term, generally defined as six months. Negative implications indicates a potential downgrade.
In addition, S&P changed the outlook on the AA- long-term senior debt rating (second highest out of eight rating categories) of International Lease Finance Corporation (a wholly owned subsidiary of AIG) (ILFC) to negative. Moodys affirmed ILFCs long-term and short-term senior debt ratings (A1/P-1) (third highest of nine, and highest of three, rating categories, respectively). Fitch downgraded ILFCs long-term senior debt rating from AA- to A+ (third highest of nine rating categories), placed it on Rating Watch Negative and downgraded ILFCs short-term debt rating from F1+ to F1 (remaining within the highest of five rating categories). In April 2006, Fitch removed ILFCs long-term senior debt rating from Rating Watch Negative and affirmed it with a stable outlook.
Fitch also placed the A+ long-term senior debt ratings (third highest of nine rating categories) of American General Finance Corporation and American General Finance, Inc. (wholly owned subsidiaries of AIG) on Rating Watch Negative. In April 2006, these ratings were also removed from Rating Watch Negative and affirmed with a stable outlook. S&P and Moodys affirmed the long-term and short-term senior debt ratings of American General Finance Corporation of A+/A-1 (third highest of eight rating categories/ highest of eight rating categories) and A1/P-1 (third highest of nine rating categories/ highest of three rating categories), respectively.
These debt and financial strength ratings are current opinions of the rating agencies. As such, they may be changed, suspended or withdrawn at any time by the rating agencies as a result of changes in, or unavailability of, information or based on other circumstances. Ratings may also be withdrawn at AIG managements request. This discussion of ratings is not a complete list of ratings of AIG and its subsidiaries.
These ratings actions have affected and will continue to affect AIGs business and results of operations in a number of ways.
| Downgrades in AIGs debt ratings will adversely affect AIGs results of operations. AIG relies on external sources of financing to fund several of its operations. The cost and availability of unsecured financing are generally dependent on the issuers long-term and short-term debt ratings. These downgrades and any future downgrades in AIGs debt ratings will increase AIGs borrowing costs and therefore adversely affect AIGs results of operations. |
| The downgrade in AIGs long-term senior debt ratings will adversely affect AIGFPs ability to compete for cer- |
37
tain businesses. Credit ratings are very important to the ability of financial institutions to compete in the derivative and structured transaction marketplaces. Historically, AIGs triple-A ratings provided AIGFP a competitive advantage. The downgrades have reduced this advantage and, for specialized financial transactions that generally are conducted only by triple-A rated financial institutions, counterparties may be unwilling to transact business with AIGFP except on a secured basis. This could require AIGFP to post more collateral to counterparties in the future. See below for a further discussion of the effect that posting collateral may have on AIGs liquidity. | |
| Although the financial strength ratings of AIGs insurance company subsidiaries remain high compared to many of their competitors, the downgrades have reduced the previous ratings differential. The competitive advantage of the ratings to AIGs insurance company subsidiaries may be lessened accordingly. The regulatory inquiries, internal investigations, and delay in the filing of the 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as negative publicity, had caused independent producers and distributors of AIGs domestic life and retirement services products to be more cautious in placing business with AIG subsidiaries. AIG is unable to predict the effect of these issues on AIGs business, including any increase in associated surrender or replacement activity. |
| As a result of the downgrades of AIGs long-term senior debt ratings, AIG was required to post approximately $1.16 billion of collateral with counterparties to municipal guaranteed investment agreements and financial derivatives transactions. In the event of a further downgrade, AIG will be required to post additional collateral. It is estimated that, as of the close of business on February 28, 2006, based on AIGs outstanding municipal guaranteed investment agreements and financial derivatives transactions as of such date, a further downgrade of AIGs long-term senior debt ratings to Aa3 by Moodys or AA- by S&P would permit counterparties to call for approximately $962 million of additional collateral. Further, additional downgrades could result in requirements for substantial additional collateral, which could have a material effect on how AIG manages its liquidity. The actual amount of additional collateral that AIG would be required to post to counterparties in the event of such downgrades depends on market conditions, the market value of the outstanding affected transactions and other factors prevailing at the time of the downgrade. Any additional obligations to post collateral will increase the demand on AIGs liquidity. |
Despite industry price erosion in some classes of general insurance, 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. AIG expects total General Insurance premiums to increase for 2005 and expects cash flow for investments to remain strong. Thus, General Insurance net investment income is expected to rise in future quarters even in a continued low interest rate environment.
In China, AIG has wholly-owned life insurance operations in eight cities. These operations should benefit from Chinas rapid rate of economic growth and growing middle class, a segment that is a prime market for life insurance. AIG believes that it may also have opportunities in the future to grow by entering the group insurance business. However, in March 2005 it withdrew its application to serve the group insurance market until certain regulatory issues are resolved. Among the regulatory issues to be addressed is the response to AIGs acknowledgment that certain of its Hong Kong based agents sold life insurance to customers on the Chinese mainland in contravention of applicable regulations.
AIG Edison Life, acquired in August 2003, adds to the current agency force in Japan, and provides alternative distribution channels including banks, financial advisers, and corporate and government employee relationships. AIG Edison Lifes integration into AIGs existing Japanese operations will provide future operating efficiencies. In January 2005, AIG Star Life entered into an agreement with the Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi, one of Japans largest banks, to market a multi-currency fixed annuity. Through ALICO, AIG Star Life and AIG Edison, AIG has developed a leadership position in the distribution of annuities through banks. AIG is also a leader in the direct marketing of insurance products through sponsors and in the broad market. AIG also expects continued growth in India, Korea and Vietnam.
Domestically, AIG anticipates continued operating growth in 2005 as distribution channels are expanded and new products are introduced. The home service operation has not met business objectives, although its cash flow has been strong, and domestic group life/health was also weak. AIG American Generals current ratings remain equal to or higher than many of its principal competitors. Nevertheless, recent events have caused independent producers and distributors of AIG American Generals products to be more cautious in placing business with AIG. Therefore, AIG is unable to predict the effect of these issues on AIGs business, including any increase in associated surrender or replacement activity.
In the airline industry, changes in market conditions are not immediately apparent in operating results. Lease rates have firmed considerably, as a result of strong demand spurred by the recovering global commercial aviation market, especially in Asia. Sales have begun to increase, and AIG expects an increasing level of interest from a variety of purchasers. Therefore, AIG believes that the improvements in that market which commenced in 2003 will be gradually reflected in ILFCs results in 2005. In the Capital Markets operations, the integration of AIG Trading Group Inc. and its
38
GICs, which are sold domestically and abroad to both institutions and individuals, are written on an opportunistic basis when market conditions are favorable. AIG expects to launch a matched investment program utilizing issuances of AIG debt securities, which will become AIGs principal spread-based investment activity. However, in light of recent developments, the timing of the launch of this program is uncertain. Because AIGs credit spreads in the capital markets have widened following the ratings declines, there may be a reduction in the earnings on new business in AIGs spread based funding businesses.
AIG has many promising growth initiatives underway around the world in its insurance and other operations. Cooperative agreements such as those with PICC and various banks in the U.S., Japan and Korea are expected to expand distribution networks for AIGs products and provide models for future growth.
Critical Accounting Estimates
AIG considers its most critical accounting estimates those with respect to reserves for losses and loss expenses, future policy benefits for life and accident and health contracts, deferred policy acquisition costs, estimated gross profits for investment-oriented products, fair value determinations for certain Capital Markets assets and liabilities and other than temporary declines in the value of investments. 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: for example, accident year 2004 for the year end 2004 loss reserve analysis. For low frequency, high severity classes such as excess casualty and directors and officers liability (D&O), 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. |
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. |
Estimated Gross Profits (Life Insurance & Retirement Services):
| Estimated gross profits to be realized over the estimated duration of the contracts (investment-oriented products) affects the carrying value of deferred policy acquisition costs under FAS 97. Estimated gross profits include investment income and gains and losses on investments less required interest, actual mortality and other expenses. |
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 and eligibility based upon the current terms and profitability of the underlying insurance contracts. |
Fair Value Determinations of Certain Assets and Liabilities (Financial Services Capital Markets):
| Valuation models: utilizing factors, such as market liquidity and current interest, foreign exchange and volatility rates. |
| AIG attempts to secure reliable and independent current market price data, such as published exchange rates from external subscription services such as Bloomberg or Reuters or third-party broker quotes for use in this model. When such prices are not available, AIG uses an internal methodology, which includes interpolation from verifiable prices from trades occurring on dates nearest to the dates of the transactions. |
Other Than Temporary Declines in the Value of Investments:
39
| Trading at a significant (25 percent or more) discount to par, amortized cost (if lower) or cost for an extended period of time (nine months or longer). |
| The occurrence of a discrete credit event resulting in the debtor default, seeking bankruptcy or insolvency protection or voluntary reorganization. |
| The possibility of non-realization of a full recovery on its investment, irrespective of the occurrence of one of the foregoing events. |
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 third party information. |
Operating Review
General Insurance Operations
AIGs General Insurance subsidiaries are multiple line companies writing substantially all lines of property and casualty insurance both domestically and abroad.
Domestic General Insurance operations are comprised of the Domestic Brokerage Group (DBG), which includes the operations of The Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company (HSB), Transatlantic Holdings, Inc. (Transatlantic); Personal Lines, including 21st Century Insurance Group (21st Century); and United Guaranty Corporation (UGC).
AIGs primary domestic division is DBG. DBGs business in the United States and Canada is conducted through its General Insurance subsidiaries including American Home, National Union, Lexington and certain other General Insurance company subsidiaries of AIG.
DBG writes substantially all classes of business insurance, accepting such business mainly from insurance brokers. This provides DBG the opportunity to select specialized markets and retain underwriting control. Any licensed broker is able to submit business to DBG without the traditional agent-company contractual relationship, but such broker usually has no authority to commit DBG to accept a risk.
In addition to writing substantially all classes of business insurance, including large commercial or industrial property insurance, excess liability, inland marine, environmental, workers compensation and excess and umbrella coverages, DBG offers many specialized forms of insurance such as aviation, accident and health, equipment breakdown, directors and officers liability (D&O), difference-in-conditions, kidnap-ransom, export credit and political risk, and various types of professional errors and omissions coverages. The AIG Risk Management operation provides insurance and risk management programs for large corporate customers. The AIG Risk Finance operation is a leading provider of customized structured insurance products. Also included in DBG are the operations of AIG Environmental, which focuses specifically on providing specialty products to clients with environmental exposures. Lexington writes surplus lines, those risks for which conventional insurance companies do not readily provide insurance coverage, either because of complexity or because the coverage does not lend itself to conventional contracts.
Certain of the products of the DBG companies include funding components or have been structured in a manner such that little or no insurance risk is actually transferred. Funds received in connection with these products are recorded as deposits, included in other liabilities, rather than premiums and incurred losses.
The AIG Worldsource Division introduces and coordinates AIGs products and services to U.S.-based multinational clients and foreign corporations doing business in the U.S.
Transatlantic subsidiaries offer reinsurance capacity on both a treaty and facultative basis both in the U.S. and abroad. Transatlantic structures programs for a full range of property and casualty products with an emphasis on specialty risks.
AIGs Personal Lines operations provide automobile insurance through AIG Direct, the mass marketing operation of AIG, Agency Auto Division and 21st Century Insurance Group, as well as a broad range of coverages for high-net-worth individuals through the AIG Private Client Group.
The principal business of the UGC subsidiaries is the writing of residential mortgage loan insurance, which is guaranty insurance on conventional first mortgage loans on single-family dwellings and condominiums. This type of insurance protects lenders against loss if borrowers default. UGC subsidiaries also write home equity and property improvement loan insurance on loans to finance residential property improvements, alterations and repairs and for other purposes not necessarily related to real estate.
AIGs Foreign General Insurance group accepts risks 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. The Foreign General group uses various marketing methods and multiple distribution channels to write both business and personal lines insurance with certain refinements for local laws, customs and needs. AIU operates in Asia, the Pacific Rim, the United Kingdom, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America.
As previously noted, AIG believes it should present and discuss its financial information in a manner most meaningful to its investors. Accordingly, in its General Insurance business, AIG uses certain non-GAAP measures, where AIG has determined these measurements to be useful and meaningful.
A critical discipline of a successful general insurance business is the objective to produce profit from underwriting activities exclusive of investment-related income. When un-
40
Statutory underwriting profit is derived by reducing net premiums earned by net losses and loss expenses incurred and net expenses incurred. Statutory accounting generally requires immediate expense recognition and ignores the matching of revenues and expenses as required by GAAP. That is, for statutory purposes, expenses are recognized immediately, not over the same period that the revenues are earned. Thus, statutory expenses exclude changes in deferred acquisition costs (DAC).
GAAP provides for the recognition of expenses at the same time revenues are earned, the accounting principle of matching. Therefore, acquisition expenses are deferred and amortized over the period the related net premiums written are earned. DAC is reviewed for recoverability, and such review requires management judgment. (See also Critical Accounting Estimates herein.)
AIG, along with most General Insurance companies, uses the loss ratio, the expense ratio and the combined ratio as measures of underwriting performance. The loss ratio is the sum of losses and loss expenses incurred divided by net premiums earned. The expense ratio is statutory underwriting expenses divided by net premiums written. The combined ratio is the sum of the loss ratio and the expense ratio. These ratios are relative measurements that describe, for every $100 of net premiums earned or written, the cost of losses and statutory expenses, respectively. The combined ratio presents the total cost per $100 of premium production. A combined ratio below 100 demonstrates underwriting profit; a combined ratio above 100 demonstrates underwriting loss.
Net premiums written are initially deferred and earned based upon the terms of the underlying policies. The net unearned premium reserve constitutes deferred revenues which are generally earned ratably over the policy period. Thus, the net unearned premium reserve is not fully recognized in income as net premiums earned until the end of the policy period.
The underwriting environment varies from country to country, as does the degree of litigation activity. Regulation, product type and competition have a direct effect on pricing and consequently on profitability as reflected in underwriting profit and statutory general insurance ratios.
General Insurance operating income is comprised of statutory underwriting results, changes in DAC, net investment income and realized capital gains and losses. Operating income, as well as net premiums written, net premiums earned, net investment income and realized capital gains (losses) and statutory ratios for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 were as follows:

General Insurance Results
General Insurance operating income in the first three months of 2005 showed excellent results. The increase in General Insurance operating income in the first three months of 2005 was primarily attributable to strong profitable growth in Foreign Generals underwriting results and DBGs and Foreign Generals net investment income partially offset by a decrease in realized capital gains relative to the same period of 2004. DBGs underwriting results included additional losses incurred resulting from increased labor and material costs related to the 2004 Florida hurricanes.
Like most AIG units, DBG benefited in the first three months of 2005 from a strong profit center focus and growing distribution channels. Overall, DBGs net premiums written increased in the first three months of 2005 over 2004, as new business, generally higher renewal retention rates and a modest change in the mix of business towards classes (i.e. smaller accounts) that purchase less reinsurance more than offset modest rate decreases in some classes (i.e. property, D&O, healthcare, aviation). Domestic property-casualty premium rates are generally satisfactory at this time, although AIG has begun to see evidence in some classes of business, including property, D&O, energy and healthcare, where rates quoted by other carriers on selected accounts or segments do not meet AIGs view of satisfactory. The loss ratio decreased from same period of 2004 principally as a result of the impact of prior year rate increases on premiums earned in the quarter, lower losses in the quarter in short tail classes of business, such as property and accident & health, offset by $118 million of additional losses incurred resulting from increased labor and material costs related to the 2004 Florida hurricanes.
Transatlantics net premiums written and net premiums earned for the first quarter of 2005 decreased compared with the same period in 2004, principally as a result of decreased domestic business, partially offset by increased international business.
Personal Lines net premiums written in the first three months of 2005 increased when compared to the same period of 2004 due to good growth in its core business units through expanded marketing efforts, increased agent/broker appointments, and enhanced product offerings. These gains were partially offset by reductions in its involuntary auto business due to aggressive re-underwriting of the previously acquired GE business. Underwriting income increased as a result of earned premium growth and favorable development of prior accident years.
Mortgage Guarantys net premiums written increased in the first three months of 2005 when compared to the same period of 2004. Strong growth in junior liens, student loans and international business were offset by continued low persistency in the residential first lien business, caused by high refinance activity fueled by low mortgage interest rates.
Foreign General Insurance had strong results in the first three months of 2005. Growth in net premiums written was achieved due to new business as well as new distribution channels partially offset by rate decreases in Australia and the United Kingdom commercial lines. The Far East region had excellent results. Personal accident business exhibited strong growth. In Japan, the purchase of the Royal & SunAlliance branch operations opened new distribution channels. Commercial lines in Europe and the Ascot syndicate continue to exhibit strong growth, as did Personal Lines operations in Brazil and Latin America. This growth translated to improved underwriting results.
AIG transacts business in most major foreign currencies. The following table summarizes the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the growth of General Insurance net premiums written for the first three months of 2005:

As previously noted, DBGs results include $118 million of additional losses incurred in the first three months of 2005 resulting from increased labor and material costs related to the 2004 Florida hurricanes. Other effects of catastrophes incurred in the first three months of 2005 and 2004 were insignificant. The effect on losses caused by catastrophes can fluctuate widely from year to year, making comparisons of recurring type business more difficult. With respect to catastrophe losses, AIG believes that it has taken appropriate steps, such as careful exposure selection and obtaining reinsurance coverage, to reduce the effect of the magnitude of possible future losses. The occurrence of one or more catastrophic events of unanticipated frequency or severity, such as terrorist attack, earthquake or hurricane, that causes insured losses, however, could have a material adverse effect on AIGs results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.
General Insurance net investment income grew in the first three months of 2005 when compared to the same period of 2004. AIG is benefiting from strong cash flow, higher interest rates as well as increased partnership income. Addi-

Realized capital gains and losses resulted from the ongoing investment management of the General Insurance portfolios within the overall objectives of the General Insurance operations. (See the discussion on Valuation of Invested Assets herein.)
The contribution of General Insurance operating income to AIGs consolidated income before income taxes, minority interest and cumulative effect of an accounting change was 29.1 percent in the first three months of 2005 compared to 37.5 percent in the same period of 2004.
Reinsurance
AIG is a major purchaser of reinsurance for its General Insurance operations. AIG insures risks globally, and its reinsurance programs must be coordinated in order to provide AIG the level of reinsurance protection that AIG desires. Reinsurance is an important risk management tool to manage transaction and insurance line risk retention at prudent levels set by management. AIG also purchases reinsurance to mitigate its catastrophic exposure. AIG is cognizant of the need to exercise good judgment in the selection and approval of both domestic and foreign companies participating in its reinsurance programs because one or more catastrophe losses could negatively affect AIGs reinsurers and result in an inability of AIG to collect reinsurance recoverables. AIGs reinsurance department evaluates catastrophic events and assesses the probability of occurrence and magnitude of catastrophic events through the use of state-of-the-art industry recognized program models among other techniques. AIG supplements these models through continually monitoring the risk exposure of AIGs worldwide General Insurance operations and adjusting such models accordingly. While reinsurance arrangements do not relieve AIG from its direct obligations to its insureds, an efficient and effective reinsurance program substantially limits AIGs exposure to potentially significant losses.
AIGs consolidated general reinsurance assets amounted to $17.96 billion at March 31, 2005 and resulted from AIGs reinsurance arrangements. Thus, a credit exposure existed at March 31, 2005 with respect to reinsurance recoverable to the extent that any reinsurer may not be able to reimburse AIG under the terms of these reinsurance arrangements. AIG manages its credit risk in its reinsurance relationships by transacting with reinsurers that it considers financially sound, and when necessary AIG holds substantial collateral in the form of funds, securities and/or irrevocable letters of credit. This collateral can be drawn on for amounts that remain unpaid beyond specified time periods on an individual reinsurer basis. At December 31, 2004, approximately 43 percent of the general reinsurance assets were from unauthorized reinsurers. In order to obtain statutory recognition, the majority of these balances were collateralized. The remaining 57 percent of the general reinsurance assets were from authorized reinsurers. The terms authorized and unauthorized pertain to regulatory categories, not creditworthiness. Approximately 90 percent of the balances with respect to authorized reinsurers are from reinsurers rated A (excellent) or better, as rated by A.M. Best, or A (strong) or better, as rated by Standard & Poors. Through March 31, 2005, these distribution percentages have not changed significantly. These ratings are measures of financial strength.
AIG maintains a reserve for estimated unrecoverable reinsurance, but it has been largely successful in its previous recovery efforts. At December 31, 2004 AIG had allowances for unrecoverable reinsurance approximating $800 million. At that date, AIG had no significant reinsurance recoverables due from any individual reinsurer that was financially troubled (e.g., liquidated, insolvent, in receivership or otherwise subject to formal or informal regulatory restriction).
AIGs Reinsurance Security Department conducts ongoing detailed assessments of the reinsurance markets and current and potential reinsurers, both foreign and domestic. Such assessments include, but are not limited to, identifying if a reinsurer is appropriately licensed and has sufficient financial capacity, and evaluating the local economic environment in which a foreign reinsurer operates. This department also reviews the nature of the risks ceded and the requirements for credit risk mitigants. For example, in AIGs treaty reinsurance contracts, AIG includes provisions that frequently require a reinsurer to post collateral when a referenced event occurs. Furthermore, AIG limits its unsecured exposure to reinsurers through the use of credit triggers, which include, but are not limited to, insurer financial strength rating downgrades, policyholder surplus declines at or below a certain predetermined level or a certain predetermined level of a reinsurance recoverable being reached. In addition, AIGs Credit Risk Committee reviews the credit limits for and concentrations with any one reinsurer.
AIG enters into intercompany reinsurance transactions, primarily through AIRCO, for its General Insurance and Life Insurance operations. AIG enters into these transactions as a sound and prudent business practice in order to maintain underwriting control and spread insurance risk among AIGs various legal entities. These reinsurance agreements have been approved by the appropriate regulatory authorities. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. AIG generally obtains letters of credit in order to obtain statutory recognition of these intercompany reinsurance transactions. At March 31, 2005, approximately $3.3 billion of letters of credit were outstanding to cover
