AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1994
a) These statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals have been made for a fair
presentation of the results shown.
b) Earnings per share of American International Group, Inc. (AIG) are
based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
period, retroactively adjusted to reflect a 50 percent common stock split in
the form of a common stock dividend paid July 30, 1993. The effect of
potentially dilutive securities is not significant.
(c) Cash dividends per common share reflect the adjustment for a 50
percent common stock split in the form of a common stock dividend paid July 30,
1993.
(d) Supplemental cash flow information for the six month period ended June
30, 1994 and 1993 is as follows:
(in thousands)
1994 1993
---- ----
Income taxes paid $ 442,600 $ 210,300
Interest paid $ 496,000 $ 496,800
(e) In March 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Interpretation No. 39 "Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts"
(Interpretation), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 1993. The Interpretation requires that unrealized gains and losses on
swaps, forwards, options and similar contracts be recognized as assets and
liabilities. Previously, AIG's policy was to record such unrealized gains and
losses on a net basis in the consolidated balance sheet. The Interpretation
allows the netting of such unrealized gains and losses with the same
counterparty when they are included under a master netting arrangement with the
counterparty and the contracts are reported at market value.
Although there was no effect on AIG's operating income upon the
adoption of the Interpretation, AIG now presents certain of its financial
services assets and liabilities, primarily unrealized gain (loss) on interest
rate and currency swaps, options and forward transactions, on a gross basis.
Thus both consolidated assets and liabilities have increased. The effect of
presenting these assets and liabilities on a gross basis on AIG's consolidated
balance sheet was not significant. Prior years' balance sheets are not
required to be restated.
In November of 1992, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 112 "Employers' Accounting for Post- employment Benefits" (FASB
112). FASB 112 established accounting standards for employers who provide
benefits to former or inactive employees after employment but before
retirement. FASB 112 was effective January 1, 1994 and had no significant
effect on AIG's results of operations or financial condition.
(f) For further information, refer to the Form 10-K filing of AIG for the
year ended December 31, 1993.

AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL GROUP, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Operational Review
General Insurance Operations
In AIG's general insurance operations, net premiums written and net
premiums earned were $5.50 billion and $5.03 billion, respectively, in the
first six months of 1994. These were increases of 8.3 percent and 9.3 percent,
respectively, over the same period of 1993.
The growth in net premiums written in 1994 over 1993 resulted from a
combination of several factors. Although AIG continued to achieve general
price increases in domestic commercial property and some specialty casualty
markets, the primary reasons for growth were price and volume increases
overseas. AIG continues to be disciplined in its underwriting approach,
especially in the domestic primary casualty market, and does not seek net
premium growth where rates do not adequately reflect the assessment of
exposures.
Net premiums written are initially deferred and earned based upon the
terms of the underlying policies. The net unearned premium reserve constitutes
the deferred earnings which are generally earned ratably over the policy
period. Thus, the net unearned premium reserve is not fully recognized as net
premiums earned until the end of the policy period.
Adjusted underwriting profit or loss (operating income less net
investment income and realized capital gains) represents statutory underwriting
profit or loss adjusted primarily for changes in the deferral of acquisition
costs. The adjusted underwriting profit in the first six months of 1994 was
$22.7 million compared to an adjusted underwriting profit of $25.2 million
recorded in the same period of 1993.
The statutory general insurance ratios for the first six months were
as follows:
- - ------------------------------------------------------------------
1994 1993
- - ------------------------------------------------------------------
Loss Ratio 79.47 79.81
Expense Ratio 20.17 19.78
- - ------------------------------------------------------------------
Combined Ratio 99.64 99.59
- - ------------------------------------------------------------------

8
There were no catastrophes during the second quarter of 1994 and $7.3
million in catastrophe net losses in the same period of 1993. As a result of
the earthquake which struck the Los Angeles area of California in January,
1994, the gross and net incurred losses were impacted approximately $150
million and $55 million, respectively. Although there were severe winter
storms during the first quarter of 1994, AIG recognized these as losses in the
ordinary course of business, not as catastrophes. The gross and net
catastrophe losses recorded during the first six months of 1993 approximated
$35 million and $15 million, respectively.
If the catastrophes were excluded from the losses incurred in each
six month period, the pro forma statutory general insurance ratios would be as
follows:
- - ----------------------------------------------------------------
1994 1993
- - ----------------------------------------------------------------
Loss Ratio 78.38 79.48
Expense Ratio 20.17 19.78
- - ----------------------------------------------------------------
Combined Ratio 98.55 99.26
- - ----------------------------------------------------------------
The maintenance of the statutory combined ratio in both periods at a
level approximating 100 is a result of AIG's emphasis on maintaining its
underwriting discipline within the continued overall competitiveness of the
domestic market environment as well as AIG's expense control.
AIG's operations are negatively impacted under guarantee fund
assessment laws which exist in most states. As a result of operating in a
state which has guarantee fund assessment laws, a solvent insurance company may
be assessed for certain obligations arising from the insolvencies of other
insurance companies which operated in that state. AIG generally records these
assessments upon notice. Additionally, certain states permit at least a
portion of the assessed amount to be used as a credit against a company's
future premium tax liabilities. Therefore, the ultimate net assessment cannot
reasonably be estimated. The guarantee fund assessments net of credits for the
first six months of 1994 and 1993 were insignificant. Also, AIG is required to
participate in various involuntary pools (principally workers' compensation
business) which provide insurance coverage for those not able to obtain such
coverage in the voluntary markets. This participation is also recorded upon
notification, as these amounts cannot reasonably be estimated.
At June 30, 1994, general insurance reserves for losses and loss
expenses (loss reserves) amounted to $30.72 billion, an increase of $670.5
million or 2.2 percent over the prior year end.

General insurance net loss reserves represent the accumulation of estimates of
ultimate losses, including provisions for losses incurred but not reported
(IBNR), and loss expenses, reduced by reinsurance recoverable net of an
allowance for unrecoverable reinsurance and very minor amounts of discounting
related to certain workers' compensation claims. Since December 31, 1993, the
net loss reserves have increased $390.8 million or 2.2 percent to $17.95
billion. The methods used to determine such estimates and to establish the
resulting reserves are continually reviewed and updated. Any adjustments
resulting therefrom are reflected in operating income currently. It is
management's belief that the general insurance net loss reserves are adequate
to cover all general insurance net losses and loss expenses as at June 30,
1994. In the future, if the general insurance net loss reserves develop
deficiently, such deficiency could have an adverse impact on AIG's future
results of operations.
AIG's reinsurance recoverable results from its reinsurance
arrangements. These arrangements do not relieve AIG from its direct obligation
to its insureds. Thus, a contingent liability of approximately $13 billion
existed at June 30, 1994 with respect to general reinsurance reserves for
losses and loss expenses ceded (reinsurance recoverable) to the extent that
reinsurers may be unable to meet their obligations assumed under the
reinsurance agreements. However, AIG holds substantial collateral as security
under related reinsurance agreements in the form of funds, securities and /or
irrevocable letters of credit which can be drawn on for amounts that remain
unpaid beyond specified time periods. Although a provision is recorded for
estimated unrecoverable reinsurance, AIG has been largely successful in prior
recovery efforts.
AIG enters into certain intercompany reinsurance transactions for both
its general and life operations. AIG enters these transactions as a sound and
prudent business practice in order to maintain underwriting control and spread
insurance risk among various legal entities. These reinsurance agreements have
been approved by the appropriate regulatory authorities. All material
intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In a very broad sense, the general loss reserves can be categorized
into two distinct groups: one group being long tail casualty lines of business;
the other being short tail lines of business consisting principally of property
lines and including certain classes of casualty lines.
Estimation of ultimate net losses and loss expenses (net losses) for
long tail casualty lines of business is a complex
8
10
process and depends on a number of factors, including the line and volume of
the business involved. In the more recent accident years of long tail casualty
lines there is limited statistical credibility in reported net losses. That
is, a relatively low proportion of net losses would be reported claims and
expenses and an even smaller proportion would be net losses paid. A relatively
high proportion of net losses would therefore be IBNR.
A variety of actuarial methods and assumptions are normally employed
to estimate net losses for long tail casualty lines. These methods ordinarily
involve the use of loss trend factors intended to reflect the estimated annual
growth in loss costs from one accident year to the next. Loss trend factors
reflect many items including changes in claims handling, exposure and policy
forms and current and future estimates of inflation and social inflation.
Thus, many factors are implicitly considered in estimating the year to year
growth in loss costs. Therefore, AIG's carried net long tail loss reserves are
judgmentally set as well as tested for reasonableness using the most
appropriate loss trend factors for each class of business. In the evaluation
of AIG's net loss reserves, loss trend factors have ranged from 7 percent to 22
percent of average loss costs, depending on the particular class and nature of
the business involved. For the majority of long tail casualty lines, net loss
trend factors approximating 10 percent were employed. These factors are
periodically reviewed and subsequently adjusted, as appropriate, to reflect
emerging trends which are based upon past loss experience.
Estimation of net losses for short tail business is less complex than
for long tail casualty lines. Loss cost trends for many property lines can
generally be assumed to be similar to the growth in exposure of such lines.
For example, if the fire insurance coverage remained proportional to the actual
value of the property, the growth in property's exposure to fire loss can be
approximated by the amount of insurance purchased.
For other property and short tail casualty lines, the loss trend is
implicitly assumed to grow at the rate that reported net losses grow from one
year to the next. The concerns noted above for longer tail casualty lines with
respect to the limited statistical credibility of reported net losses generally
do not apply to shorter tail lines.
AIG continues to receive indemnity claims asserting injuries from
toxic waste, hazardous substances, asbestos and other environmental pollutants
and alleged damages to cover the cleanup costs of hazardous waste dump sites
(environmental claims). The vast majority of these environmental claims
emanate from policies
9
11
written in 1984 and prior years. Commencing in 1985, standard policies
contained an absolute exclusion for pollution related damage. AIG has
established a special environmental claims unit which investigates and adjusts
all such claims.
Estimation of environmental claims loss reserves is a difficult
process. These environmental claims cannot be estimated by conventional
reserving techniques as previously described. Quantitative techniques
frequently have to be supplemented by subjective considerations including
managerial judgment. Significant factors which affect the trends which
influence the development of environmental claims are the inconsistent court
resolutions, the broadening of the intent of the policies and scope of coverage
and the increasing number of new claims. The case law that has emerged can be
characterized as still being in its infancy and the likelihood of any firm
direction in the near future is very small. Additionally, the exposure for
cleanup costs of hazardous waste dump sites involves coverage issues such as
allocation of responsibility among potential responsible parties and the
government's refusal to release parties. The cleanup cost exposure may
significantly change if the Congressional reauthorization of Superfund in 1994
is dramatically changed thereby reducing or increasing litigation and cleanup
costs.
In the interim, AIG and other industry members have and will continue
to litigate the broadening judicial interpretation of the policy coverage and
the liability issues. At the current time, it is not possible to determine the
future development of environmental claims. Such development will be impacted
by the extent to which courts continue to expand the intent of the policies and
the scope of the coverage as they have in the past, as well as by changes in
Superfund and waste dump site coverage issues. Additional liabilities could
emerge for amounts in excess of the current reserves held. Although this
emergence cannot now be reasonably estimated, it could have a material adverse
impact on AIG's future operating results. The reserves carried for these claims
as at June 30, 1994 are believed to be adequate as these reserves are based on
the known facts and current law. Furthermore, as AIG's net exposure retained
relative to the gross exposure written was lower in those years, the potential
impact of these claims is much smaller on the net loss reserves than on the
gross loss reserves. (See the previous discussion on reinsurance
collectibility herein.)
The gross and net IBNR included in the reserve for losses and loss
expenses at June 30, 1994 for environmental claims approximated $265 million
and $95 million, respectively; for 1993 the amounts approximated $235 million
and $85 million,
10
12
respectively. Most of the claims included in the following table relate to
policies written in 1984 and prior years.
A summary of reserve activity, including estimates for applicable
IBNR, relating to environmental claims for the six months ended June 30, 1994
and 1993 was as follows:
(in millions)
===============================================================================================================================

===============================================================================================================================
The majority of AIG's exposures for environmental claims are excess
casualty coverages, not primary coverages. Thus, the litigation costs are
treated in the same manner as indemnity reserves. That is, litigation expenses
are included within the limits of the liability AIG incurs. Individual
significant claim liabilities, where future litigation costs are reasonably
determinable, are established on a case basis.
A summary of claims count activity relating to environmental claims
for the six months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993 was as follows:

AIG aggressively manages its environmental claims. During 1994 a
significant portion of claims dismissed or otherwise resolved were closed as a
result of successful litigation.
General insurance net investment income in the first six months of
1994 was $705.9 million, an increase of 7.1 percent from the same period of
1993. The growth in net investment income was primarily attributable to new
cash flow for investment. The new cash flow was generated from net general
insurance operating cash flow and included the compounding of previously earned
and reinvested net investment income.
General insurance realized capital gains were $48.5 million in the
first six months of 1994 and $40.8 million for the same period of 1993. These
realized gains resulted from the ongoing management of the general insurance
investment portfolios within the overall objectives of the general insurance
operations and arose primarily from the disposition of equity securities, and
available for sale and trading fixed maturities as well as redemptions of fixed
maturities.
General insurance operating income in the first six months of 1994 was
$777.1 million, an increase of 7.2 percent when compared to $725.0 million in
the same period of 1993. The 1994 operating results were significantly
impacted by the aforementioned catastrophe. The contribution of general
insurance operating income to income before income taxes and the cumulative
effect of accounting changes was 54.8 percent in the first six months of 1994
compared to 56.2 percent in the same period of 1993. The decline in the
contribution percentage was a result of the aforementioned catastrophe loss and
the relative growth in life operating income.
A period to period comparison of operating income is significantly
influenced by the catastrophe losses in any one period as well as the
volatility from one period to the next in realized capital gains. Adjusting
each year to exclude the effects of both catastrophe losses and realized
capital gains, the
12
14
operating income in 1994 would have increased 12.1 percent over 1993. The
increase in the growth rate of 1994 over 1993 after the aforementioned
adjustments was a result of the increased net investment income as previously
discussed and improvement in underwriting results after the exclusion of the
effects of the catastrophes.
Life Insurance Operations
AIG's life insurance operations continued to show growth as a result
of overseas operations, particularly in Asia. AIG's life premium income of
$3.17 billion for the first six months of 1994 represented a 17.6 percent
increase from the same period of the prior year. The foreign ordinary life
products were the major contributor to premium growth. In 1994, foreign life
operations produced 94.1 percent of the life premium income and 95.8 percent of
the life insurance operating income as compared to 95.4 percent of life
premium income and 94.5 percent of life insurance operating income for the same
period of 1993.
Traditional life insurance products such as whole life and endowment
continue to be significant in the overseas companies, especially in Southeast
Asia, while a mixture of traditional, accident and health and financial
products are being sold in Japan.
The risks associated with the traditional life and accident and health
products are underwriting risk and investment risk. The risk associated with
the financial and investment contract products is investment risk.
Underwriting risk represents the exposure to loss resulting from the
actual policy experience adversely emerging in comparison to the assumptions
made in the product pricing associated with mortality, morbidity, termination
and expenses. AIG's life companies limit their maximum underwriting exposure
on traditional life insurance of a single life to approximately $1 million of
coverage by using yearly renewable term reinsurance.
The investment risk represents the exposure to loss resulting from the
cash flows from the invested assets, primarily long- term fixed rate
investments, being less than the cash flows required to meet the obligations of
the expected policy and contract liabilities and the necessary return on
investments.
To minimize its exposure to investment risk, AIG tests the cash flows
from the invested assets and the policy and contract liabilities using various
interest rate scenarios to determine if a liquidity excess or deficit is
perceived to exist. If a
13
15
rebalancing of the invested assets to the policy and contract claims became
necessary and did not occur, a demand could be placed upon liquidity.
The asset-liability relationship is appropriately managed in AIG's
foreign operations, even though certain territories lack qualified long-term
investments or there are investment restrictions imposed by the local
regulatory authorities. For example, in Japan and several Southeast Asia
territories, the duration of the investments is often for a shorter period than
the effective maturity of such policy liabilities. Therefore, there is a risk
that the reinvestment of the proceeds at the maturity of the investments may be
at a yield below that of the interest required for the accretion of the policy
liabilities. In Japan, the average duration of the investment portfolio
approximates 5 years, while the related policy liabilities are estimated to be
7 years. To maintain an adequate yield to match the interest required over the
duration of the liabilities, constant management focus is required to reinvest
the proceeds of the maturing securities without sacrificing investment quality.
To the extent permitted under local regulation, AIG may invest in qualified
longer-term securities outside Japan to achieve a closer matching in both
duration and the required yield. AIG is able to manage any asset-liability
duration difference through maintenance of sufficient global liquidity and to
support any operational short-fall through its international financial network.
Domestically, the asset-liability matching process is appropriately functioning
as there are investments available to match the duration and the required
yield.
AIG uses asset-liability matching as a management tool to determine
the composition of the invested assets and marketing strategies. As a part of
these strategies, AIG may determine that it is economically advantageous to be
temporarily in an unmatched position due to anticipated interest rate or other
economic changes.
Life insurance net investment income increased 16.5 percent to $835.3
million in the first six months of 1994 compared to $716.9 million in the same
period of 1993. The growth in net investment income was primarily attributable
to new cash flow for investment. The new cash flow was generated from net life
insurance operating cash flow and included the compounding of previously earned
and reinvested net investment income.
Life insurance realized capital gains were $32.7 million and $27.6
million in the first six months of 1994 and 1993, respectively. These realized
gains resulted from the ongoing
14
16
management of the life insurance investment portfolios within the overall
objectives of the life insurance operations and arose primarily from the
disposition of equity securities and available for sale fixed maturities and
redemptions of fixed maturities.
Life insurance operating income in the first six months of 1994
increased 18.5 percent to $440.4 million compared to $371.8 million in the same
period of 1993. Excluding realized capital gains from life insurance operating
income, the increase in 1994 over 1993 would be 18.4 percent. The contribution
of life insurance operating income to income before income taxes and the
cumulative effect of accounting changes amounted to 31.0 percent in 1994
compared to 28.8 percent in 1993. The increase in the contribution percentage
was a result of both the growth in life premium income and net investment
income as well as higher realized capital gains.
Agency and Service Fee Operations
Agency and service fee operating income in the first six months of
1994 decreased 9.6 percent to $29.2 million compared to $32.3 million in the
same period of 1993. Although the growth in risk management services
continues, revenues from AIG's aviation insurance management operations has
declined slightly. Agency and service fee operating income contributed 2.1
percent to AIG's income before income taxes and the cumulative effect of
accounting changes in 1994 compared to 2.5 percent in 1993.
Financial Services Operations
Financial services operating income amounted to $214.1 million in the
first six months of 1994, an increase of 15.3 percent. This compared to $185.8
million in the same period of 1993. The financial services operating income in
1994 increased over that of 1993 primarily as a result of an increase in the
operating income of International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC). ILFC
primarily engages in the acquisition of new and used commercial jet aircraft
and the leasing and sale of such aircraft to airlines around the world. ILFC
derives a substantial portion of its revenues from its leasing operations and
is also engaged in the remarketing of commercial jets to and for airlines and
financial institutions. (See also the discussions under "Capital Resources" and
"Liquidity" herein.)
AIG Trading Group Inc. and its subsidiaries (AIGTG) experienced a
slight decline in operating income compared to the first six months of 1993.
AIGTG, acting as principal, derives a substantial portion of its revenues from
market making and trading
15
17
activities in foreign exchange, interest rate, precious and base metals,
petroleum and natural gas products. (See also the discussions under "Capital
Resources" and "Liquidity" herein.)
AIG Financial Products Corp. and its subsidiaries (AIGFP) operating
income increased modestly as compared to the first six months of 1993. AIGFP
derives substantially all its revenues from proprietary positions entered in
connection with customer transactions. AIGFP conducts, as principal, an
interest rate, currency and equity derivative products business and enters into
guaranteed investment agreement transactions. (See also the discussions under
"Capital Resources" and "Liquidity" herein.)
ILFC is exposed to loss through non-performance of aircraft lessees
and through owning and committing to purchase aircraft which it would be unable
to lease or re-lease or sell at lease expiration. ILFC manages its lessee
non-performance exposure through credit reviews and security deposit
requirements. At June 30, 1994, only 2 of 261 aircraft owned were not leased.
Currently, 80.2 percent of the fleet is leased to foreign carriers. In 1994,
ILFC has leased all aircraft for which it has taken delivery and remaining
aircraft for which ILFC will take delivery in 1994 have been placed.
Through AIGFP and AIGTG, AIG participates in the derivatives dealer
market. In these derivative operations, AIG acts primarily as a principal,
structuring transactions to satisfy the risk management needs of its clients.
That is, AIG structures transactions which allow its clients to manage their
risk exposures to interest and exchange rate changes, to prices of securities
and to certain commodities and financial or commodity indices. As a result of
these transactions, AIG, in its financial services operations, is also an
end-user of derivatives in adjusting its asset and liability risk profiles.
All significant derivatives activities are conducted through AIGFP and AIGTG.
AIG's other subsidiaries, including its insurance subsidiaries, are not
significant end users of derivatives.
AIG actively manages the risk exposure to limit the potential for loss
while maximizing the rewards afforded by these business opportunities. In
doing so, AIG must manage a variety of risks including credit risk, market
risk, liquidity risk and legal risk.
Derivatives are financial transactions among two or more parties whose
payments are based on or "derived" from the performance of some agreed upon
benchmark. Derivatives payments may be based on interest and exchange rate
changes, prices of certain securities and certain commodities and financial or
16
18
commodity indices. Derivatives include swaps, options, forwards, futures and
related instruments.
In 1993, the Group of Thirty, an international, private business
advisory organization, published a set of risk management recommendations for
derivatives. These recommendations provide a measure of sound practices for
the industry as well as a comprehensive overview of derivatives which is
intended to promote an understanding of such instruments. The recommendations
cover valuation and market risk management; credit risk measurement and
management; contract enforceability; systems, operations, and controls; and
accounting and disclosure. AIG supports the Group of Thirty recommendations as
a framework in the management of AIG's derivatives operations.
The most commonly used swaps are interest rate swaps and currency
swaps. An interest rate swap is a contract between two parties to exchange
interest rate payments (typically a fixed interest rate versus a variable
interest rate) calculated on a specified principal or notional amount for a
specified period of time. The notional amount is not exchanged. A currency
swap is similar but the notional amounts are different currencies which are
typically exchanged at the commencement and termination of the swap based upon
negotiated exchange rates.
An option contract provides the option purchaser with the right but
not the obligation to buy or sell the underlying instrument at a set price
during a period of time or at a specified date. The option writer is obligated
to sell or buy the underlying item if the option purchaser chooses to exercise
his right. The writer receives a nonrefundable fee or premium from the option
purchaser.
A forward or future contract is a legal contract between two parties
to purchase or sell a specified quantity of a commodity, government security,
currency, financial index or other instrument, at a specified price on a
specified future date. A futures contract is traded on an exchange, while a
forward contract is executed over-the-counter.
Derivatives are generally either negotiated over-the-counter contracts
or standardized contracts executed on an exchange. Standardized
exchange-traded derivatives include futures and options. Negotiated
over-the-counter derivatives include forwards, swaps and options.
Over-the-counter derivatives are generally not traded like securities.
However, in the normal course of business, with the agreement of the original
counterparty, these contracts may be terminated or assigned to another
counterparty.
17
19
Derivatives are used by AIG's customers such as corporations,
financial institutions, multinational organizations, sovereign entities,
government agencies and municipalities to manage the financial risks associated
with their activities. For example, a future, forward or option contract can
be used to protect the customers' assets and liabilities against price
fluctuations; a swap can be used to change fixed interest rate payments into
floating interest rate payments.
The notional amounts used to express the extent of AIG's involvement
in derivatives transactions do not represent a quantification of the market or
credit risks of the positions and are not necessarily recorded on the balance
sheet. The notional amounts represent the amounts used to calculate
contractual cash flows to be exchanged and are generally not actually paid or
received, except for certain contracts such as currency swaps and foreign
exchange forwards. The timing of cash receipts and payments relating to
derivatives is determined by the contractual agreements.
The senior management of AIG approves the policies and establishes
general operating parameters for AIGFP and AIGTG. AIG's senior management and
Board of Directors have established various oversight committees to review the
various financial market, operational and credit issues of AIGFP and AIGTG.
AIG's senior management has established limits which can only be exceeded with
express permission. The senior managements of AIGFP and AIGTG report monthly
the results of their respective operations to AIG's senior management and Board
of Directors and review with them future strategies.
Market risk principally arises from the uncertainty that future
earnings are exposed to potential changes in volatility, interest rates,
foreign exchange rates, and equity and commodity prices. AIG generally
controls its exposure to market risk by taking offsetting positions. AIG's
philosophy with respect to its financial services operations is to minimize or
set limits for open or uncovered positions that are to be carried. Although
market risk may be minimized, credit risk remains an exposure which is
separately managed. (See the discussion on the management of credit risk
below).
AIGFP does not seek to manage the market risk of each of its
individual transactions through an individual offsetting transaction. Rather,
AIGFP takes a portfolio approach to the management of its market risk. AIGFP
values its portfolio through the use of an integrated valuation and hedging
computer system which models reliable current market data where available or
uses
18
20
various valuation techniques when such market data is not available. This
system reflects AIGFP's evaluation of current market conditions, maturities
within the portfolio and other relevant factors associated with the type of
derivative, and applies these to the present value of the cash flow structure
of the overall portfolio. The system analyzes these discounted cash flow
structures or representative financial instruments and suggests for
management's decision what, if any, offsetting instruments would be appropriate
to purchase or sell.
Additionally, depending upon the nature of interest rates and market
movements during the day, the system will produce reports for management's
consideration for intra-day offsetting positions. Overnight, the system
generates reports which recommend the types of offsets management should
consider for the following day. Additionally, AIGFP operates in certain
overseas locations and is essentially open for business 24 hours a day. Thus,
the market exposure and offset strategies are monitored, reviewed and
coordinated around the clock. Therefore, offsetting adjustments are made as
and when necessary, from any AIGFP office in the world.
As part of its monitoring and controlling of its exposure to market
risk, AIGFP applies various testing techniques which reflect potential market
movements. These techniques vary by currency and are regularly changed to
reflect factors affecting the derivative portfolios. In addition to the daily
monitoring, AIGFP's senior management and local risk managers conduct a weekly
review of the derivatives portfolio and existing hedges. This review includes
an examination of the portfolio's risk measures, such as aggregate option
sensitivity to movements in market variables. These measures are changed as
appropriate in order to reflect AIGFP's evaluation of the dynamics of the
markets. This management group will also determine whether additional or
alternative action is required in order to manage the portfolio.
The aforementioned valuation models and conditions are examined by
AIGFP's management and changed, as appropriate, to reflect management's
judgments. Both AIG and AIGFP employ outside consultants to provide the
managements of AIG and AIGFP with comfort that the system produces
representative values.
AIGTG's approach to protect itself from market risk is to establish an
appropriate offsetting position to a particular transaction or group of
transactions depending upon the extent of market risk AIGTG wishes to retain.
AIGTG senior management has established positions and stop-loss limits
for each line of business. AIGTG's traders are
19
21
required to maintain positions within these limits. These positions are
monitored during the day either manually or through on-line computer systems.
In addition, these positions are reviewed by AIGTG management. Reports which
present each trading book's position and the prior day's profit and loss are
reviewed by traders, head traders and AIGTG's senior management. Based upon
these and other reports, AIGTG's senior management may determine to adjust
AIGTG's risk profile.
AIGTG attempts to secure reliable current market prices, such as
published prices or third party quotes, to value its derivatives. Where such
prices are not available, AIGTG uses an internal methodology which is based
upon interpolation or extrapolation from verifiable prices nearest to the dates
of the transactions. The methodology may reflect interest and exchange rates,
volatility and other relevant factors.
A significant portion of AIGTG's business is transacted in liquid
markets. AIGTG's derivative product exposures are evaluated using simulation
techniques which consider such factors as changes in currency and commodity
prices, interest rates, volatility levels and the effect of time. Though not
indicative of the future, past volatile market scenarios have represented
profit opportunities for AIGTG.
Credit risk exists at a particular point in time when a derivative has
a positive fair value. Also, a counterparty may default on any obligation to
AIG, including a derivative contract. Credit risk is a consequence of extending
credit and/or carrying trading and investment positions. To help manage this
risk, the credit departments of AIGFP and AIGTG operate within the guidelines
of the AIG Credit Risk Committee which sets credit policy, credit limits for
counterparties and provides limits for derivative transactions with
counterparties having different credit ratings. In addition to credit ratings,
this committee takes into account the industry and country of the counterparty.
Transactions which fall outside these pre-established guidelines require the
approval of the AIG Credit Risk Committee.
AIGFP and AIGTG determine the credit quality of each of their
counterparties taking into account credit ratings assigned by nationally
recognized statistical rating organizations. If it is determined that a
counterparty requires credit enhancement, then one or more enhancement
techniques will be used. Examples of such enhancement techniques include
letters of credit, guarantees, collateral and margin agreements.
20
22
The significant majority of AIGFP's transactions are contracted and
documented under master netting agreements that provide for set-off and close
out netting in the event of default. Additionally, AIGFP is currently
negotiating with its principal foreign exchange counterparties to implement
cross-netting between swap transactions and foreign exchange transactions to
further reduce credit risk.
Excluding regulated exchange transactions, AIGTG, whenever possible,
enters into netting agreements with its counterparties which are similar in
effect to those discussed above.
Management of AIG's liquidity profile is designed to ensure that
even under adverse conditions AIG is able to raise funds at the most economical
cost to fund maturing liabilities and capital and liquidity requirements of its
subsidiaries. Sources of funds considered in meeting these objectives include
guaranteed investment agreements, issuance of long and short-term debt,
maturities and sales of securities held for investments, securities sold under
repurchase agreements, trade payables, securities and spot commodities sold,
not yet purchased, issuance of equity, and cash provided from operations.
AIG's strong capital position is integral to managing liquidity, as it enables
AIG to raise funds in diverse markets worldwide. (See also the discussions
under "Capital Resources" and "Liquidity" herein.)
Legal risk arises from the uncertainty of the enforceability, through
legal or judicial processes, of the obligations of AIG's clients and
counterparties, including contractual provisions intended to reduce credit
exposure by providing for the netting of mutual obligations. (See also the
discussion on master netting agreements above.) AIG seeks to eliminate or
minimize such uncertainty through continuous consultation with internal and
external legal advisors, both domestically and abroad, in order to understand
the nature of legal risk, to improve documentation and to strengthen
transaction structure.
Financial services operating income represented 15.1 percent of AIG's
income before income taxes and the cumulative effect of accounting changes in
the first six months of 1994, which compares to 14.4 percent in the same period
of 1993.
Other Operations
In the first six months of 1994, AIG's equity in income of
minority-owned insurance operations was $22.0 million compared to $18.1 million
in the same period of 1993. The equity interest in insurance companies
represented 1.6 percent of income before income
21
23
taxes and the cumulative effect of accounting changes in 1994, compared to 1.4
percent in 1993.
Other realized capital losses amounted to $19.7 million and $6.1
million in 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Other income (deductions)-net includes AIG's equity in certain minor
majority-owned subsidiaries and certain partially- owned companies, minority
interest in certain consolidated companies, realized foreign exchange
transaction gains and losses in substantially all currencies and unrealized
gains and losses in hyperinflationary currencies, as well as the income and
expenses of the parent holding company and other miscellaneous income and
expenses. In the first six months of 1994, net deductions amounted to $44.0
million. In the same period of 1993, net deductions amounted to $36.4 million.
Included in each of these amounts were $10.8 million and $7.7 million in 1994
and 1993, respectively, resulting from the recognition of minority interests;
and $4.2 million and $1.6 million in 1994 and 1993, respectively, due to net
foreign exchange effects as described above.
Income before income taxes and the cumulative effect of accounting
changes amounted to $1.42 billion in the first six months of 1994 and $1.29
billion in the same period of 1993.
In the first six months of 1994, AIG recorded a provision for income
taxes of $363.8 million compared to the provision of $333.7 million in the same
period of 1993. These provisions represent effective tax rates of 25.6 percent
and 25.9 percent in the respective periods. Income before the cumulative effect
of accounting changes amounted to $1.06 billion in the first six months of 1994
and $956.9 million in the same period of 1993. The increase in net income
resulted from those factors described above.
At January 1, 1993, AIG's equity in income of minority-owned insurance
operations was positively impacted by the cumulative effect of accounting
changes on such operations from the adoption of Statement of Accounting
Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" which was partially offset by
the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106 "Employer's
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than Pension Plans". AIG's equity
in the cumulative effect of such accounting changes was a net benefit of $20.7
million.
Net income amounted to $1.06 billion in the first six months of 1994
and $977.6 million in the same period of 1993. The increase in net income in
1994 over that of 1993 resulted from those factors described above.

* AIG does not guarantee or support these borrowings.
Guaranteed investments agreements (GIAs) serve as the source of
proceeds for AIGFP's investments in a diversified portfolio of securities and
derivative transactions thereon. (See also the discussions under "Operational
Review" and "Liquidity" herein.)
AIG Funding, Inc. intends to continue to meet AIG's funding
requirements through the issuance of commercial paper guaranteed by AIG. This
issuance of commercial paper is subject to the approval of AIG's Board of
Directors. ILFC, A.I. Credit Corp. (AICCO) and AIGFP issue commercial paper
for the funding of their own operations. AIG does not guarantee AICCO's or
ILFC's commercial paper. However, AIG has entered into an agreement in support
of AICCO's commercial paper. AIG guarantees AIGFP's commercial paper.
ILFC increased the aggregate principal amount outstanding of its
medium term and term notes to $4.70 billion during the first six months of
1994, a net increase of $394.2 million. ILFC primarily uses the proceeds of its
borrowings to acquire new and used commercial jet aircraft to lease and/or
remarket to airlines around the world. At June 30, 1994, ILFC had
approximately $2.3 billion in aggregate principal amount of debt securities
registered for issuance from time to time. (See also the discussions under
"Operational Review" and "Liquidity" herein.)
During the first six months of 1994, AIG did not issue any new medium
term notes and $140.0 million of previously issued notes matured. At June 30,
1994, AIG had $247.0 million in aggregate principal amount of debt securities
registered for issuance from time to time.
AIG's capital funds have increased $521.2 million in the first six
months of 1994. Unrealized appreciation of investments, net of taxes,
decreased $404.3 million, primarily resulting from the rise in domestic
interest rates and their effects on the market values of bonds worldwide. As a
result of adopting Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 "Accounting for
Certain Investments on Debt and Equity Securities", unrealized appreciation of
investments, net of taxes, is now subject to increased volatility resulting
from the changes in the market value of bonds, available for sale. The
cumulative translation adjustment loss, net of taxes, decreased $35.9 million
as a result of the general weakness of the U.S. dollar against most major
currencies. Retained earnings increased $991.9 million, resulting from net
income less dividends.
During the first six months of 1994, AIG repurchased 1.31 million
shares of its common stock at a cost of $109.3 million in the open market.

Payments of dividends to AIG by its insurance subsidiaries are subject
to certain restrictions imposed by statutory authorities. AIG has in the past
reinvested most of its unrestricted earnings in its operations and believes
such continued reinvestment in the future will be adequate to meet any
foreseeable capital needs. However, AIG may choose from time to time to raise
additional funds through the issuance of additional securities. At June 30,
1994 there were no significant statutory or regulatory issues which would
impair AIG's financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. (See also
the discussion under "Liquidity" herein.)
Liquidity
At June 30, 1994, AIG's consolidated invested assets included $3.53
billion of cash and short-term investments. Consolidated net cash provided
from operating activities in the first six months of 1994 amounted to $3.00
billion.
Management believes that AIG's liquid assets, its net cash provided by
operations, and access to the capital markets will enable it to meet any
foreseeable cash requirements.
AIG's liquidity is primarily derived from the operating cash flows of
its general and life insurance operations.
The liquidity of the combined insurance operations is derived both
domestically and abroad. The combined insurance pretax operating cash flow is
derived from two sources, underwriting operations and investment operations.
In the aggregate, AIG's insurance operations generated approximately $3.8
billion in pretax operating cash flow during the first six months of 1994. The
underwriting cash flow approximated $2.2 billion in the first six months of
1994. Underwriting cash flow represents periodic premium collections,
including policyholders' contracts deposits, as well as paid loss recoveries
less reinsurance premiums, losses, benefits, and acquisition and operating
expenses paid. Generally, there is a time lag from when premiums are collected
and, when as a result of the occurrence of events specified in the policy, the
losses and benefits are paid. AIG's insurance operations generated
approximately $1.6 billion in investment income cash flow during this period of
1994. Investment income cash flow is primarily derived from interest and
dividends received and includes realized capital gains.
The combined insurance pretax cash flow coupled with its cash and
short-term investments of $3.05 billion provided the insurance operations with
a significant amount of liquidity. This liquidity is available to purchase
high quality and diversified fixed income
25
27
securities and to a lesser extent marketable equity securities and to provide
mortgage loans on real estate, policy and collateral and guaranteed loans.
With this liquidity coupled with proceeds of approximately $6.6 billion from
the maturities, sales and redemptions of fixed income securities and from the
sales of marketable equity securities, AIG purchased approximately $9.5 billion
of fixed income securities and marketable equity securities. Additionally,
over $1.3 billion were disbursed for mortgage loans on real estate, policy and
collateral loans. Over $800 million of this amount was in connection with new
policy loans issued as a result of domestic life insurance operations
associated with corporate owned life insurance products.

=============================================================================================================
With respect to bonds, AIG's strategy is to invest in high quality
securities while maintaining diversification to avoid significant exposure to
issuer, industry and/or country concentrations.
Approximately 60 percent of the fixed maturity investments are
domestic securities. Approximately 42 percent of such domestic securities were
rated AAA and approximately two percent were below investment grade.
A significant portion of the foreign insurance fixed income portfolio
is rated by Moody's, Standard & Poor's (S&P) or similar foreign services.
However, credit quality rating services similar to the aforementioned rating
agencies are not available in all overseas locations. Thus, AIG annually
reviews the credit quality of the nonrated fixed income investments, including
mortgages, in its foreign portfolio. AIG applies a scale similar to that of
Moody's and S&P to the rating of these securities. Coupling the ratings of
this internal review with those of the independent agencies indicates that
approximately 49 percent of the foreign fixed income investments were rated AAA
and approximately one
28
30
percent were deemed below investment grade at December 31, 1993. AIG
believes that there has been no significant change in these ratings through
June 30, 1994.
Although AIG's fixed income insurance portfolios contain minor amounts
of securities below investment grade, potentially any fixed income security is
subject to downgrade for a variety of reasons subsequent to any balance sheet
date.
At June 30, 1994 approximately 6 percent of the fixed maturities
portfolio are Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMOs). All the CMOs are
investment grade and approximately 89 percent of the CMOs are backed by various
U.S. government agencies. Thus, credit risk is minimal.
There are no interest only or principal only CMOs. CMOs are exposed
to interest rate risk as the duration and ultimate realized yield would be
affected by the accelerated prepayments of the underlying mortgages.
When permitted by regulatory authorities and when deemed necessary to
protect insurance assets, including invested assets, from currency risk and
interest rate risk, AIG and its insurance subsidiaries consider entering into
derivative transactions as end users. To date, such activities have been
insignificant.
Short-term investments represent amounts invested in various internal
and external money market funds, time deposits and cash.
Mortgage loans on real estate, policy, collateral and guaranteed loans
comprised 8.0 percent of AIG's insurance invested assets at June 30, 1994.
AIG's insurance holdings of real estate mortgages amounted to $1.53 billion of
which 32.3 percent was domestic. At June 30, 1994, no domestic mortgages and
only a nominal amount of foreign mortgages were in default. At June 30, 1994,
AIG's insurance holdings of collateral loans amounted to $471.8 million, all of
which were foreign. It is AIG's practice to require a maximum loan to value
ratio of 75 percent at loan origination.
AIG's real estate investment properties are primarily occupied by
AIG's various operations. The current market value of these properties
considerably exceeds their carrying value.
There exist in certain jurisdictions significant regulatory and/or
foreign governmental barriers which may not permit the immediate free flow of
funds between insurance subsidiaries or from the insurance subsidiaries to AIG
parent. These barriers generally cause only minor delays in the outward
remittance of the funds.

As previously discussed, cash used for the purchase of flight
equipment is derived primarily from the proceeds of ILFC's debt financing. The
primary sources for the repayment of this debt and the interest expense thereon
are the lease receipts received and proceeds from the sale of flight equipment.
During 1994, ILFC increased its net financing $1.31 billion for the acquisition
of flight equipment costing $1.71 billion.

Trading securities, at market value, are marked to market daily with
the unrealized gain or loss being recognized in income at that time. These
securities are held to meet the short term risk management objectives of AIGFP.
The interest rate risk on securities available for sale, at market, is
managed by taking offsetting positions on a security by security basis, thereby
offsetting a significant portion of the unrealized appreciation or
depreciation. The unrealized gains and losses remaining after benefit of the
offsets were $18.5 million and $11.1 million.
Securities available for sale and securities purchased under
agreements to resell are primarily purchased with the proceeds of AIGFP's GIA
financing. The securities purchased involve varying degrees of credit risk.
The average credit rating of AIGFP's securities available for sale at June 30,
1994 was AA. Securities purchased under agreements to resell are treated as
collateralized
31
33
transactions. AIGFP generally takes possession of securities purchased under
agreements to resell. AIGFP further minimizes its credit risk by monitoring
customer credit exposure and requiring additional collateral to be deposited
when deemed necessary.
AIGFP, as principal, enters into interest rate, currency, equity and
commodity swaps and forward commitments. The average credit rating of AIGFP's
counterparties as a whole, as measured by AIGFP, was AA- at June 30, 1994. As
previously described, AIGFP carries its derivatives at fair value. To the
extent there are reliable current market data, these derivatives are valued
accordingly. Where such market data are not available, AIGFP uses internal
valuation models. The recorded fair values of these derivatives may be
different than the values that might be realized if AIGFP were to sell or close
out the transactions because of limited liquidity for these instruments. (See
also the discussions under "Operational Review: Financial Services" and
"Accounting Standards: Standards Adopted in 1994" herein.)
AIGTG acts as principal in certain foreign exchange, precious and base
metals, petroleum and petroleum products and natural gas trading activities.
AIGTG owns and may maintain substantially hedged inventories in the commodities
in which it trades. AIGTG supports its trading and market making activities
largely through trade payables, securities sold under agreements to repurchase
and spot commodities sold but not yet purchased. Thus, AIGTG's liquidity is
provided through its high volume and rapid turnover activities in market making
and hedging. AIGTG uses derivatives to hedge various trading positions and
transactions from adverse movements in interest rates, exchange rates and
commodity prices. (See also the discussion under "Operational Review: Financial
Services" herein.)
Recent Developments
In 1989, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC)
adopted the "NAIC Solvency Policing Agenda for 1990". Included in this agenda
was the development of Risk-Based Capital (RBC) requirements. RBC relates an
individual insurance company's statutory surplus to the risk inherent in its
overall operations. AIG believes that the development of RBC standards is a
positive step for the insurance industry but further believes the standards in
their present form may lead to an inefficient deployment of industry capital.
As experience is gained with the application of RBC standards, it is likely
that adjustments to the formula will be made.
RBC standards for property and casualty insurers have been finalized
and are effective with the 1994 statutory financial
32
34
statements to be filed in 1995. Applying these RBC standards to AIG's domestic
general operations at December 31, 1993 and June 30, 1994 reveals that the
capital of each of the domestic general insurance companies exceeded the RBC
requirements. Additionally, no AIG company is on any regulatory or similar
"watch list".
Standards for the life RBC formula and a model act have been approved
by regulators and were effective with the 1993 statutory financial statements.
At December 31, 1993, the adjusted capital of each of AIG's four domestic life
companies exceeded the levels of their RBC capital by multiples approximating
from two to more than four. There has been no significant change in the RBC
capital of each of these companies through June 30, 1994.
In 1992, domestic life insurance companies were required for
regulatory purposes to adopt two investment reserves, the Asset Valuation
Reserve (AVR) and the Interest Maintenance Reserve (IMR). The AVR is formula
based and applies to all invested assets which are subject to either credit or
market risk. The IMR defers realized capital gains and losses on the sale of
fixed maturities and mortgage loans. The realized gains and losses are
subsequently amortized into investment income over the original term of the
disposed assets. The impact of these reserves on the separately reported
statutory income of certain domestic life companies may be significant in 1994.
However, there was no impact on AIG's GAAP consolidated life insurance
operating income presented herein.
In July 1994, AIG acquired $200 million of 8 percent convertible
preferred stock of Alexander & Alexander Services Inc. (A&A), an independent
insurance brokerage operation. The preferred stock is convertible into common
stock of A&A at $17 per share. Both the convertible preferred stock and the
common stock are non-voting in the hands of AIG. AIG may elect in the future to
exchange its non-voting common stock for up to 9.9 percent of A&A's voting
common stock. The dividend will be paid in-kind for the first two years; and,
at A&A's option, for an additional three years.
Accounting Standards
Standards adopted in 1994:
In March 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Interpretation No. 39 "Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts"
(Interpretation), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 1993. The Interpretation requires that unrealized gains and losses on
swaps, forwards, options and similar contracts be recognized as assets and
liabilities. Previously, AIG's policy was to record such
33
35
unrealized gains and losses on a net basis in the consolidated balance sheet.
The Interpretation allows the netting of such unrealized gains and losses with
the same counterparty when they are included under a master netting arrangement
with the counterparty and the contracts are reported at market or fair value.
Although there was no effect on AIG's operating income upon the
adoption of the Interpretation, AIG adopted this Interpretation effective
January 1, 1994 and now presents certain of its financial services assets and
liabilities, primarily unrealized gain (loss) on interest rate and currency
swaps, options and forward transactions, on a gross basis. Thus, both
consolidated assets and liabilities have increased. The effect of presenting
these assets and liabilities on a gross basis on AIG's consolidated balance
sheet was not significant. The prior years' balance sheet was not
reclassified.
In November of 1992, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 112 "Employers' Accounting for Post- employment Benefits" (FASB
112). FASB 112 established accounting standards for employers who provide
benefits to former or inactive employees after employment but before
retirement. FASB 112 was adopted by AIG effective January 1, 1994 and had no
significant effect on AIG's results of operations, financial condition or
liquidity.
Standards to be adopted in the future:
In May 1993, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 114 "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" (FASB 114). FASB
114 addresses the accounting by all creditors for impairment of certain loans.
The impaired loans are to be measured at the present value of all expected
future cash flows. The present value may be determined by discounting the
expected future cash flows at the loan's effective rate or valued at the loan's
observable market price or valued at the fair value of the collateral if the
loan is collateral dependent. This methodology is not expected to produce a
material effect on AIG's results of operations, financial condition or
liquidity. FASB 114 will be effective for the 1995 financial statements. AIG
does not anticipate adoption prior to the effective date.

=========== =========== ============ ===========
Fixed charges:
Interest costs $ 671,540 $ 655,904 $ 329,557 $ 325,417

Total fixed charges $ 704,956 $ 695,192 $ 346,265 $ 345,061
=========== =========== ============ ===========
Ratio of earnings to fixed charges 2.96 2.80 3.08 2.83
* The proportion deemed representative of the interest factor.
The ratio shown is significantly affected as a result of the inclusion of the
fixed charges and operating results of AIG Financial Products Corp. and its
subsidiaries (AIGFP). AIGFP structures borrowings through guaranteed investment
agreements and engages in other complex financial transactions, including
interest rate and currency swaps. In the course of its business, AIGFP enters
into borrowings that are primarily used to purchase assets that yield rates
greater than the rates on the borrowings with the intent of earning a profit on
the spread and to finance the acquisition of securities utilized to hedge
certain transactions. The pro forma ratios of earnings to fixed charges, which
exclude the effects of the operating results of AIGFP, are 5.59 and 5.66 for
the second quarter and 5.61 and 5.78 for the first six months of 1994 and 1993,
respectively. As AIGFP will continue to be a subsidiary, AIG expects that these
ratios will continue to be lower than they would be if the fixed charges and
operating results of AIGFP were not included therein.
