13.2 percent, compared to $510.2 million in the same period of 1993.
Following is a comparative table of fourth quarter and full year

Income before income taxes in 1994 increased 13.5 percent to $2.95 billion
from $2.60 billion reported last year. For the fourth quarter of 1994 income
before income taxes amounted to $784.6 million, an increase of 13.6 percent over
the $690.3 million reported in 1993. Included in these results were pretax
realized capital gains of $86.9 million and $10.1 million for the year and
fourth quarter of 1994, respectively, compared to $107.1 million and $19.3
million for the same periods in 1993.
Revenues for 1994 rose 11.5 percent to $22.44 billion from $20.13 billion
in 1993. Fourth quarter revenues totalled $5.91 billion, an increase of 10.4
percent over $5.36 billion in the year earlier quarter.
At December 31, 1994, AIG's consolidated assets and shareholders' equity
approximated $114 billion and $16.4 billion, respectively.
Commenting on the fourth quarter and full year results, AIG Chairman M.R.
Greenberg said, "AIG had a very good quarter and full year, in line with our
expectations. We achieved a new high in net income of nearly $2.2 billion. All
of our principal business areas contributed to this increase.
"The domestic property-casualty rate environment did not materially change
in the quarter. While some of our specialty classes experienced stronger rates,
standard lines remained relatively flat. AIG's domestic operations benefitted
from a number of new products we have introduced. The full year premiums in our
domestic business, exclusive of our risk management business, rose 12 percent.
With the trend toward higher deductibles in risk management, the volume of
premiums flowing through our books was somewhat lower; however, this had no
impact on the management fees or operating income produced by our risk
management business.
"We commented last quarter on AIG's investment in 20th Century Industries,
which closed in December. Shortly after year-end, 20th Century settled its
outstanding Proposition 103 rebate issue with the California Insurance
Department. We are very optimistic about our investment and the joint business
development plans between AIG and 20th Century.
"Our overseas property-casualty business had an outstanding fourth quarter
and full year in each of its principal regions of the world. During the quarter,
our Russian joint venture insurance company, in which AIG will have management
control, received its license to begin operations. The company will offer all
forms of commercial property- casualty insurance to foreign and Russian
businesses, as well as travel insurance and other personal insurance products.
This is the first major foreign investment in the Russian insurance industry.

"In the past few weeks, AIG has signed a protocol of understanding with
the Tata Group of India to jointly enter the Indian general and life insurance
markets once those markets are opened to private and foreign investment, which
we believe will occur in the not too distant future. This agreement with the
largest industrial group in India provides AIG with another important market
opening opportunity.
"We initially reported that AIG's losses from the Kobe, Japan earthquake
would total an estimated $50 million. This estimate has not changed. The
devaluation of the Mexican peso has had no material impact on AIG's operations
or financial condition.
"AIG's life insurance operations performed extremely well in both the
fourth quarter and full year 1994. While our Asian life operations are the
largest component of our life business, other areas are growing significantly,
providing further diversification to this important segment of AIG's earnings
stream. Our domestic life companies also had a good year, and are expanding on
a number of fronts.
"In financial services, results for the quarter were somewhat below a
year ago, although operating income for all of 1994 rose to a new record level.
In contrast to the results being reported by some others in the financial
services markets, AIG's businesses remained quite profitable. International
Lease Finance Corporation had its best year ever, and both AIG Financial
Products Corp. and AIG Trading Group Inc. turned in solid performances in spite
of a smaller number of transactions in the quarter.
"General insurance net investment income rose 7.0 percent in the quarter,
and AIG's cash flow was strong. We added $244 million and $862 million to our
general insurance net loss and loss adjustment reserves in the quarter and full
year, respectively, bringing the total of such reserves to $18.4 billion at
year-end.
"The new U.S. Congress has on its agenda reform of the Superfund law
and also product liability reform. Both are issues on which AIG has long
advocated change and are important for American competitiveness in world
markets. We will continue to be actively engaged in these areas, and are
optimistic that 1995 will see progress on both fronts."
