Explanatory Note

     Overview. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2005 (Third Quarter Form 10-Q) of American International Group, Inc. (AIG) provides information about the financial results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 and a general overview of AIG’s announced restatements of prior period financial statements.

     First Restatement. In connection with the preparation of AIG’s consolidated financial statements included in AIG’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 (2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K), AIG’s 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 AIG’s 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 AIG’s Audit Committee and in consultation with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, AIG restated 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).

     AIG disclosed in its 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K that it had identified a number of material weaknesses in internal controls 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 its material weaknesses in internal controls.

     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 controls referred to above, principally relating to internal controls surrounding accounting for derivatives and related assets and liabilities under Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 133 — “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (FAS 133), reconciliation of certain balance sheet accounts and income tax accounting. Due to the significance of these corrections, AIG will restate its 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 two quarters of 2005 (the Second Restatement). As part of the Second Restatement, AIG will also correct 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 AIG’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 (Second Quarter Form 10-Q).

     The financial information as of September 30, 2004 and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 that is included in this Third Quarter Form 10-Q has been restated as part of both the First Restatement and the Second Restatement (the Restatements). The financial information as of December 31, 2004 has been restated as part of the Second Restatement.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

 
  1.  Financial Statement Presentation

These statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all 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, 2004 (2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K).

     As more fully described in AIG’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and AIG’s 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 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. Due to the significance of these corrections, AIG will restate its 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 two quarters of 2005 (the Second Restatement, and together with the First Restatement, the Restatements). As part of the Second Restatement, AIG will also correct 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 ILFC, which were originally corrected as an out-of-period item in AIG’s Second Quarter Form 10-Q.

 
  2.  Restatements of Previously Issued
Financial Statements

The following provides a description of the accounting adjustments included in the Restatements of AIG’s consolidated financial statements and the effect of the adjustments on AIG’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2004 and its Consolidated Statement of Income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. All prior period amounts included in this report affected by the Restatements are presented on a restated basis.

(a) First Restatement

     Internal Review. In connection with the preparation of AIG’s consolidated financial statements included in the 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K, AIG’s current management initiated an internal review of AIG’s books and records, which was substantially expanded in mid-March 2005. The internal review, conducted under the direction of current senior management, with the oversight of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, spanned AIG’s major business units globally, and included a review of information and a number of transactions from 2000 to 2004. In certain cases, items in periods prior to 2000 were examined due to the nature of the transactions under review. The business units subject to review were Domestic General Insurance, Foreign General Insurance, Reinsurance, Financial Services, Domestic and Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services and Asset Management.

     AIG’s internal review was complemented by investigations by outside counsel for AIG and for the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm (PwC or independent auditors), was consulted on the scope of the internal review for certain matters and reviewed the results of the internal review.

     As a result of the findings of the internal review, together with the results of investigations conducted by outside counsel at the request of AIG’s Audit Committee and in consultation with AIG’s independent auditors, AIG concluded that the accounting for certain transactions and certain relationships needed to be restated.

     First Restatement. AIG restated 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. See Selected Financial Data, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Note 2 of Notes to 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 three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004.

     As part of its internal review, AIG evaluated the financial reporting consolidation process and the resulting financial statements as well as the appropriateness of AIG’s prior accounting and reporting decisions. Based on this evaluation, the First Restatement includes corrections of errors in current or prior accounting periods for improper or inappropriate transactions or entries identified by the review. In many cases these transactions or entries appear to have had the purpose of achieving an accounting result that would enhance measures believed to be important to the financial community

(continued)

and may have involved documentation that did not accurately reflect the true nature of the arrangements. In certain instances, these transactions or entries may also have involved misrepresentations to members of management, regulators and AIG’s independent auditors. The First Restatement includes adjustments, some of which had been previously identified but considered not to be sufficiently material to require correction.

     Details of Accounting Adjustments included in the First Restatement. The accounting adjustments relate primarily to the categories described below. Many of the adjustments that do not affect previously reported net income or consolidated shareholders’ equity do, however, change both the consolidated and business segment reporting of premiums, underwriting results, net investment income, realized capital gains and losses and operating income, as well as other items. Adjustments that affect reported net income and consolidated shareholders’ equity relate to both the timing and recognition of revenues and expenses and affect the comparison of period-to-period results.

Risk Transfer. To recognize the cash flows under an insurance contract as premium and losses, generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires the transfer of risk. If risk transfer requirements are not met, an insurance contract is accounted for as a deposit, resulting in the recognition of cash flows under the contract as deposit assets or liabilities and not as revenues or expense. AIG has concluded, based upon its internal review, that there was insufficient risk transfer to qualify for insurance accounting for certain transactions where AIG subsidiaries either wrote direct insurance or assumed or ceded reinsurance. These transactions are now recorded using deposit accounting. The changes resulting from the change to deposit accounting affect both the consolidated balance sheet and statement of income.

Union Excess: AIG has concluded, based on documents and information identified during the course of the internal review, that reinsurance ceded to Union Excess Reinsurance Company, Ltd., a Barbados-domiciled reinsurer (Union Excess), did not result in risk transfer because of AIG’s control over certain transactions undertaken directly or indirectly with Union Excess, including the timing and nature of certain commutations. Eliminating the cessions reduces reinsurance assets, effectively eliminates the inherent discount related to the loss reserves ceded under the contracts, and increases net premiums and losses.

  In addition, as a result of certain facts and circumstances related to the formation of Union Excess, as well as certain relationships with Starr International Company, Inc. (SICO), Union Excess is now included in AIG’s consolidated financial statements. The facts and circumstances surrounding SICO’s involvement with Union Excess were not properly reflected in AIG’s books and records, were not known to all relevant AIG financial reporting personnel and, AIG now believes, were not known to AIG’s independent auditors. For example, a significant portion of the ownership interests of Union Excess shareholders are protected against loss under financial arrangements with SICO. Additionally, from its formation in 1991, Union Excess has reinsured risks emanating primarily or solely from AIG subsidiaries, both directly and indirectly. Further, it appears that the employees responsible for the reinsurance related to Union Excess managed that relationship to prevent significant losses or gains to Union Excess so that substantially all of the risks and rewards of the underlying reinsurance inured to AIG. This relationship allowed AIG to absorb substantially all the economic returns, which in turn caused Union Excess to be deemed a variable interest entity (VIE).
 
  As a result of the First Restatement relating to Union Excess, as of December 31, 2004, total assets decreased by approximately $1.5 billion, and shareholders’ equity decreased by approximately $951 million. Net income decreased by approximately $20 million and $59 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004.

Gen Re: In December 2000 and March 2001, an AIG subsidiary entered into an assumed reinsurance transaction with a subsidiary of General Re Corporation (Gen Re) involving two tranches of $250 million each. In connection with each tranche, consolidated net premiums written and consolidated incurred policy losses and benefits increased by $250 million in the fourth quarter of 2000 (with respect to the first tranche) and the first quarter of 2001 (with respect to the second tranche). The first tranche of the transaction was commuted in November 2004, reducing premiums and reserves for losses and loss expenses by approximately $250 million in the fourth quarter 2004. AIG has concluded that the transaction was done to accomplish a desired accounting result and did not entail sufficient qualifying risk transfer. As a result, AIG has determined that the transaction should not have been recorded as insurance. AIG’s restated financial statements recharacterize this transaction as a deposit rather than as insurance. Such recharacterization had virtually no effect on net income or consolidated shareholders’ equity, but increased other liabilities by $250 million at December 31, 2004, and reduced reserves for loss and loss expenses by $250 million at December 31, 2004.

(continued)

Other Risk Transfer: AIG has concluded that Richmond Insurance Company, Ltd., a Bermuda-based reinsurance holding company (Richmond) in which AIG held a 19.9 percent ownership interest at September 30, 2004, should be treated as a consolidated entity in AIG’s financial statements due to AIG’s ability to exert control over that entity. Such determination was based, in part, on arrangements and documents, including put agreements requiring an AIG subsidiary to purchase the Richmond shares, that appear not to have been previously disclosed to appropriate AIG financial personnel or AIG’s independent auditors. A review of the operations of Richmond and its subsidiaries has shown significant previously undisclosed evidence of AIG control causing Richmond to be deemed a VIE. The consolidation of Richmond had virtually no effect on net income or consolidated shareholders’ equity. On June 30, 2005, AIG acquired an additional 49.9 percent of Richmond shares, and in October 2005 AIG acquired the remaining 30.2 percent of Richmond.

  As a result of its internal review of AIG Re, AIG Risk Finance and AIG Risk Management and certain of their transactions, AIG determined that adjustments were required because certain transactions lacked sufficient risk transfer to qualify for insurance accounting under GAAP.
 
  As a result of the First Restatement for Richmond, AIG Re, AIG Risk Finance, AIG Risk Management and these other transactions, as of December 31, 2004 total assets increased by approximately $47 million, total liabilities increased by approximately $123 million, and shareholders’ equity decreased by approximately $77 million. Net income increased by approximately $1 million and decreased by approximately $24 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004.

Loss Reserves. Estimation of ultimate net losses and loss expenses is a complex process requiring the use of assumptions which may be highly uncertain at the time of estimation. As a result of its internal review, AIG has determined that the IBNR included in the General Insurance reserve for losses and loss expenses was adjusted on a regular basis without appropriate support for the changes requested to be made. Although AIG does not believe that any change materially affected the integrity of AIG’s loss reserve position because in each instance IBNR as adjusted was determined to be within an appropriate tolerance of the applicable actuarial point estimate, AIG has determined that the unsupported decreases in reserves generated independently from the actuarial process constituted errors which should be corrected and has restated the amounts of carried reserves accordingly.

  The effect of the First Restatement is a decrease in consolidated shareholders’ equity of approximately $572 million at December 31, 2004, an increase in the reserve for losses and loss expenses of approximately $880 million at December 31, 2004, and an increase in incurred policy losses and benefits of approximately $107 million and $197 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004.

Net Investment Income. As a result of the internal review, AIG determined that the accounting for certain transactions had the effect of improperly converting capital gains into net investment income and was not consistent with GAAP. The most significant of these transactions are:

Covered Calls: From 2001 through 2003, certain AIG subsidiaries entered into a series of transactions with third parties whereby these subsidiaries sold in-the-money calls, principally on municipal bonds in their investment portfolios that had unrealized appreciation associated with them. Upon exercise of a call, the related bonds were delivered to the purchaser of the call and subsequently reacquired by the subsidiaries pursuant to contingent forward agreements which permitted the AIG subsidiaries to repurchase the bonds at the prevailing market value. In connection with selling the calls, the AIG subsidiaries also entered into interest rate swaps to protect them against the effects of changes in value of the applicable bonds as a result of movements in interest rates during the transaction period. These transactions were accounted for as sales and subsequent purchases and appear to have been initiated to increase net investment income. AIG has determined that, because AIG was able to cause the bonds to be returned from the third parties even after the third parties exercised the call options, AIG did not cede control over the bonds and therefore the transactions should not have been accounted for as sales and subsequent purchases but rather as financings. Net investment income increased over previously reported amounts by $9 million and $28 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004, and realized capital gains increased by $3 million and $44 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004. The First Restatement had no net effect on consolidated shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2004.
 
Synthetic Fuel Investment: AIG subsidiaries own interest in certain limited liability companies that invest in synthetic fuel production facilities. The sale of coal synthetic fuel by these facilities generates income tax credits. As a result of a misapplication of GAAP, AIG recorded net investment income or, in some cases, other revenues, on a pretax basis rather than reflecting the tax credit as a

(continued)

reduction of income tax expense, thereby increasing net investment income for AIG’s life insurance and retirement services segment and other revenues for the financial services segment. Certain of these entries were previously identified but not corrected as the amounts were viewed as not sufficiently material to require correction. In the fourth quarter of 2004, AIG changed its accounting to present these tax credits as a component of income taxes. AIG has now determined that it is necessary to record these adjustments for the periods prior to the fourth quarter of 2004. The First Restatement had the effect of decreasing net investment income by approximately $68 million and $203 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004, decreasing other revenues by approximately $38 million and $136 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004, and reflecting an income tax benefit of approximately $106 million and $339 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004. There was no effect on consolidated net income or shareholders’ equity.
 
Hedge Fund Accounting: AIG subsidiaries invest in a variety of alternative asset classes, including hedge fund limited partnerships, that are accounted for as available for sale securities. As part of the underlying partnership agreements, such AIG subsidiaries have the right to redeem their interests at defined times. A redemption previously allowed AIG to record net investment income to the extent there were gains in the underlying funds at the time. However, as a result of its internal review, AIG has determined that, in certain cases, the redemption resulted in inappropriate gain recognition because the proceeds were required to be immediately reinvested in the funds. In addition, the cost bases of certain funds were misallocated in determining gains. The restated consolidated financial statements correct these errors. These corrections had virtually no effect on consolidated shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2004.
 
Muni Tender Option Bond Program: From 2000 through early 2003, AIG subsidiaries participated in a program in which they transferred highly rated municipal bonds at market value to a third-party broker, which in turn transferred these securities to a trust that the broker had established. The trust then issued two sets of beneficial interests. Half of the beneficial interests were floating interest rate certificates. The remaining beneficial interests were “inverse” floating interest rate certificates. Third parties invested in the floating interest rate certificates, and AIG subsidiaries invested in the inverse floating interest rate certificates. AIG did not consolidate the trust into AIG’s balance sheet.

  The AIG subsidiaries, as the holders of the residual interest inverse floating rate certificates, had the right to unilaterally liquidate the trust and cause the municipal bonds to be returned to AIG on short notice. Accordingly, the AIG subsidiaries did not cede control over the bonds. As a result, AIG now believes that the conclusion not to consolidate was an error in the application of GAAP. Therefore, AIG has now consolidated the trusts into its balance sheets at December 31, 2002. Because the program was discontinued in early 2003, there was no effect on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2004. However, net investment income increased over previously reported amounts by $13 million and $53 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004, and realized capital gains increased by $1 million and $20 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004.

DBG/AIG Capital Corporation Intercompany Dividend: In 2002, AIG Capital Corporation issued shares of its preferred stock to National Union in exchange for shares of ILFC’s common stock. AIG did not eliminate the preferred stock investment in consolidation, instead recording the dividend as income in net investment income and as corresponding expense in other operating expenses. AIG has now determined that this accounting is a misapplication of GAAP. Accordingly, AIG has eliminated this intercompany investment and reversed the accounting entries in its consolidated statement of income. The First Restatement had no effect on consolidated net income or shareholders’ equity but net investment income decreased by approximately $25 million and $75 million and insurance acquisition and other operating expenses decreased by approximately $25 million and $75 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004.

“Top Level” Adjustments and Other Directed Entries (other than loss reserves). Certain accounting entries originated at the parent company level had the effect of reclassifying realized capital gains to net investment income, as well as adjusting other line item reclassifications and other segment financial information. In some cases, expense deferrals were increased or reserves decreased, both having the effect of increasing reported earnings. In other cases, the adjustments affected revenue and expense recognition between reporting periods or among business segments. Certain of these entries were previously identified but considered not to be sufficiently material to require correction. As part of its internal review, AIG analyzed and assessed “top level” adjustments since 2000 and determined that certain entries appear to have been made at the direction of certain former members of senior management without appropriate documentation or support.

Foreign Life Insurance Net Investment Income Reclassification: In addition to the matters described above,

11


Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
 
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
  2.  Restatement of Previously Issued
Financial Statements 
(continued)

certain accounting entries, now determined to be errors, had the effect of reclassifying capital gains realized from investments made to match liabilities relating to policies in Japan and Southeast Asia. Due to the limited availability of long-duration bonds or bonds with sufficient yield to meet the policyholder liability requirements in Japan and Southeast Asia, AIG subsidiaries made alternative investments, including investments in equities. Until the fourth quarter of 2003, a portion of the capital gains realized on these alternative investments, including substantial amounts related to the sale of fixed income securities, was reclassified to net investment income in the consolidated statement of income to match these revenues against the incurred policy benefit expense of the underlying policies. Amounts so reflected, which were previously identified but not corrected as they were viewed as immaterial, are treated as corrections of errors in the restated financial statements.

  Beginning in the first quarter of 2004, a process was implemented to identify only certain equity-related gains in Southeast Asia and a limited amount of fixed income and equity gains in Japan and to segregate and treat such realized capital gains separately for segment reporting purposes only. The new process and limits were applied retroactively for 2003, 2002, 2001 and 2000 as part of the restatement.
 
  The First Restatement reverses all such unsupported “top level” and other directed entries, including the Foreign Life Insurance Net Investment Income Reclassification, and as a result, as of December 31, 2004, total assets decreased by approximately $108 million and shareholders’ equity decreased by approximately $206 million. Net income increased by approximately $17 million and $57 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004.

Conversion of Underwriting Losses to Capital Losses. This category includes transactions and entries that had the principal effect of improperly recharacterizing underwriting losses as capital losses. This category also includes insurance and reinsurance transactions where AIG’s accounting resulted in errors relating to the timing and classification of income recognition as well as errors relating to the timing of premium recognition. The most significant transactions in this category are the following:

Capco: AIG has determined that a series of transactions with Capco Reinsurance Company, Ltd. (Capco), a Barbados-domiciled reinsurer, involved an improper structure created to recharacterize underwriting losses relating to auto warranty business as capital losses. That structure, which appears to have not been properly disclosed to appropriate AIG personnel or its independent auditors, consisted primarily of arrangements between subsidiaries of AIG and Capco that required Capco to be treated as a consolidated entity in AIG’s financial statements. The result of such consolidation is to reverse capital losses for the years 2000 through 2003 and recognize a corresponding amount of underwriting losses in 2000.
 
The Robert Plan: AIG has restated the accounting for surplus notes purchased as part of a litigation settlement in 2002 with The Robert Plan Corporation (The Robert Plan). Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the surplus notes were to be repaid through profits received from a managing general agency relationship with The Robert Plan. When AIG deemed that repayment under the surplus notes was unlikely, AIG recorded the impairment charge as realized capital losses rather than underwriting losses. AIG now believes that this accounting treatment was an error and has restated the impairment charges as underwriting losses.
 
AIRCO Reinsurance: In each of 1999 and 2000, AIRCO entered into stop loss reinsurance agreements with Union Excess relating to accident and health business of Nan Shan. Concurrently with each reinsurance agreement, AIRCO entered into a swap agreement with Union Excess, under which the payments were linked to payments under the reinsurance agreement. The transaction had the effect of converting incurred policy losses into capital losses. AIG has determined that its prior accounting was a misapplication of GAAP and has reversed both the cessions under the reinsurance agreement and the corresponding swaps.

  Together the effect of the First Restatement for Capco, The Robert Plan and AIRCO was to decrease total shareholders’ equity by approximately $30 million as of December 31, 2004. Net income increased by approximately $9 million and $70 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004.

Asset Realization. As a result of the internal review, AIG concluded that adjustments should be made to the value of certain assets included in its consolidated balance sheet. The most significant of these items are:

Domestic Brokerage Group (DBG) Issues: A review of allowances for doubtful accounts and other accruals recorded by certain DBG member companies has led AIG to conclude that the allowances related to certain premiums receivable, reinsurance recoverables and other assets were not properly analyzed in prior periods and that appropriate allowances were not properly recorded in AIG’s consolidated financial statements. Certain relevant information was known by certain members of senior management but, AIG now understands, not previously disclosed to the independent auditors. In addition, various accounts were not properly reconciled. AIG’s restated financial statements reflect

12

(continued)

the recording of appropriate amounts for these reserves and allowances for doubtful accounts for the appropriate time period, resulting in an after-tax reduction in consolidated shareholders’ equity at December 31, 1999 of $514 million. The effect of the First Restatement resulting from DBG issues was to decrease total assets by approximately $837 million and to decrease total shareholders’ equity by approximately $290 million as of December 31, 2004. Net income increased by approximately $38 million and $7 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004.
 
Other Than Temporary Declines: AIG’s investment accounting policies require that an investment that has been identified as impaired should be written down in the period in which such impairment is determined, and recorded as a realized capital loss. AIG has determined that realized capital losses with respect to certain impaired investments were not recorded in the appropriate periods, and the First Restatement will thus affect the timing of previously reported realized capital losses. The restatement resulting from other than temporary declines had only a minor effect on consolidated shareholders’ equity but net income increased by approximately $26 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004.

Other GAAP Corrections. As part of its internal review, AIG has considered the application of certain accounting principles to specific businesses and transactions, and has determined that certain misapplications of GAAP are errors that require restatement of its financial statements. These adjustments include the following:

Accounting for Derivatives (FAS 133 Hedge Accounting): AIG and its subsidiaries, including AIGFP, engage in hedging activities for their own accounts, which AIG believes have been and remain economically effective. AIG and its subsidiaries enter into derivative contracts principally to hedge interest rate risk and foreign currency risk associated with their assets, liabilities and forecasted cash flows. Such derivative transactions include interest rate swaps, cross currency swaps and forwards, which are generally executed through AIGFP. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 — “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (FAS 133) requires that third-party derivatives used for hedging must be specifically matched with the underlying exposures to an outside third party and documented contemporaneously to qualify for hedge accounting treatment. The internal review determined that in many cases AIG did not meet these hedging requirements with respect to certain hedging transactions.

  AIG has historically reported the changes in the fair value of certain derivatives used for hedging activities through other comprehensive income in consolidated shareholders’ equity or in net income with a corresponding adjustment to the hedged item, depending on the nature of the hedging relationship. In order to comply with FAS 133, the restated consolidated financial statements include the changes in fair value for certain derivatives, previously recorded through other comprehensive income, in current period income and reverse the previous adjustments on certain assets and liabilities recorded in income in connection with hedge accounting. Because these activities did not qualify for hedge accounting, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 — “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” requires AIG to recognize the corresponding changes in fair value, including foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from exchange rate fluctuations, relating to available-for-sale investments through accumulated other comprehensive income. These First Restatement adjustments with respect to FAS 133 do not result in any changes in AIG’s liquidity or its overall financial condition even though inter- period volatility of earnings increases.
 
  In addition to its remediation efforts, AIG is assessing the cost and benefits of modifying its hedging activities to obtain hedge accounting under the requirements of FAS 133. The First Restatement, to reflect appropriate GAAP accounting for these derivatives, which also included reclassifications between the accounts securities available for sale, at market value and securities purchased under agreements to resell, at contract value, increased total assets by approximately $2.3 billion and increased total shareholders’ equity by approximately $1.0 billion as of December 31, 2004. Net income increased by approximately $779 million and $565 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004.

Accounting for Deferred Taxes: AIG identified certain misapplications of GAAP in its provision for deferred income taxes as follows:

  For certain foreign subsidiaries for which AIG has plans to permanently reinvest undistributed earnings, AIG incorrectly provided U.S. deferred taxes on the unrealized appreciation associated with investment securities in accumulated other comprehensive income.
 
  For certain foreign subsidiaries for which AIG does not have plans for permanent reinvestment of undistributed earnings, U.S. deferred taxes were incorrectly omitted on certain components of other comprehensive income.
 
  The First Restatement increased total shareholders’ equity by $889 million as of December 31, 2004.

Foreign Currency Translation (FAS 52): FAS 52 is used to determine the timing of the recognition of income or expense resulting from foreign exchange rate changes

for transactions denominated in other than a functional currency.

  AIG has determined that, in certain cases, its application of FAS 52 in its consolidated financial statements did not comply with the functional currency determination requirements of the standard. As a result, AIG has recorded accounting adjustments to reclassify currency transaction gains and losses from accumulated other comprehensive income to net income. These corrections affected consolidated net income in certain periods but had no effect on consolidated shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2004 or for prior periods.
 
  AIG adopted a practice in the 1990s of recording adjustments to general insurance reserves to offset increases or decreases in such reserves through other comprehensive income, net of tax, resulting from translation of reserves denominated in foreign currencies. AIG now believes that this accounting practice was a misapplication of GAAP. As a result of this adjustment, general insurance reserves denominated in foreign currencies have been restated to restore the translation effect back to reserve for losses and loss expenses.
 
  Together, these restatements increased total shareholders’ equity by approximately $131 million as of December 31, 2004. Net income decreased by approximately $8 million and $19 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004.

Life Settlements: Life settlements are designed to assist life insurance policyholders to monetize the existing value of life insurance policies. AIG, through an insurance subsidiary and non-consolidated trusts, which are deemed to be a qualifying special purpose entity and a VIE, engages in this business. The non-consolidated trusts purchase life insurance policies from policyholders at an initial price and pay additional premiums to keep the policies in force until the insured dies. AIG’s proportionate share of the net death benefits from the purchased contracts, net of reinsurance to a third party reinsurer, was recorded as premium. The costs incurred by the trusts to acquire the contracts and keep them in force were recorded as paid losses by AIG, net of reinsurance. AIG’s accounting resulted in upfront gain recognition of expected profits and premium recognition for amounts loaned to the trusts by other AIG subsidiaries.

  AIG has determined, in light of new information which was not available to management or AIG’s independent auditors at the time the initial accounting determination was made, that the accounting for these transactions as insurance and reinsurance is a misapplication of GAAP that should be corrected through restatement. This restatement results in life settlements being accounted for using an investment method of accounting under FASB Technical Bulletin (FTB) 85-4 “Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance.” Under FTB 85-4, the carrying value of each contract at purchase and at the end of each reporting period is equal to the cash surrender value of the contract. Cash paid to purchase these contracts that is in excess of the cash surrender value at the date of purchase is recognized as a loss immediately and periodic maintenance costs, such as premiums necessary to keep the underlying contract in force, are charged to earnings immediately. The life insurance benefits at the insured’s death are payable to the AIG subsidiary and reflected in income at that time. The effect of the First Restatement was to decrease total assets by approximately $3.2 billion, decrease total liabilities by approximately $2.8 billion and decrease total shareholders’ equity by approximately $396 million as of December 31, 2004. Net income decreased by approximately $36 million and $102 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004.

Deferred Acquisition Costs (DAC): The internal review identified a misapplication of GAAP with respect to General Insurance DAC. As a result of “top-level” entries, substantially all costs associated with underwriting and marketing operations were deferred. The internal review determined that certain of these costs did not vary sufficiently with the production of business and should not have been deferred. These costs have been allocated to the periods in which they were incurred and the corresponding DAC asset has been adjusted accordingly. In addition, AIG determined that the amortization period for certain DAC was longer than the typical life of the underlying policies and needed to be shortened, and that certain deferrals associated with an inter-company reinsurance treaty were in error and required correction. This adjustment includes the recharacterization of certain incurred policy losses and benefits to insurance acquisition and other operating expenses. The effect of the First Restatement was to decrease total assets by approximately $546 million and to decrease total shareholders’ equity by approximately $344 million as of December 31, 2004.
 
SICO Deferred Compensation: AIG included in the First Restatement expense amounts attributable to deferred compensation granted to certain AIG employees by SICO (pursuant to the SICO Plan described under Item 11. Executive Compensation in AIG’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K), a private holding company that owns approximately 12 percent of AIG’s common stock. The amount of deferred compensation granted by SICO has previously been disclosed in the notes to AIG’s consolidated financial statements but was not included as an expense in the calculation of AIG’s consolidated net income because the amounts had been determined not to be material to AIG’s consolidated results of operations in any individual period. The expense related to SICO deferred

Financial Statements 
(continued)

compensation is recorded as a charge to reported earnings in the periods restated, with an offsetting entry to additional paid-in capital reflecting amounts deemed contributed by SICO. For periods prior to January 1, 2000, AIG has recorded a reduction of $905 million in retained earnings on its December 31, 1999 consolidated balance sheet and a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital. The volatility in the expense is attributable to the variable accounting as well as the fact that shares are allocated only in alternate years. The inclusion of the expense attributable to the SICO Plans in AIG’s consolidated financial statements had no effect on consolidated shareholders’ equity but decreased net income by approximately $14 million and $42 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004.
 
Commutations: Certain direct insurance, and ceded and assumed reinsurance contracts, were commuted prior to their natural expiration. For certain commutations, the cash received was recorded through negative paid losses in accordance with statutory guidance, while for others it was recorded as written premiums. Despite the lack of guidance under GAAP with respect to this issue, AIG has determined that the accounting for certain commutations was in error due to the inconsistency in AIG’s accounting for commutations and the fact that certain commutations were recorded through the written premium line when there was no unearned premium balance outstanding. As part of the First Restatement any commutations that were originally recorded through written premium are reclassified to paid losses in the period in which they occurred. The First Restatement had no effect on consolidated net income or shareholders’ equity but did decrease premiums and other considerations and incurred policy losses and benefits each by approximately $180 million and $177 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004.
 
Dollar Roll Transactions: Certain AIG subsidiaries entered into dollar roll transactions with third parties designed to enhance the return on AIG’s mortgage backed securities (MBS) portfolio. In a dollar roll transaction, AIG subsidiaries agree to sell a pool of MBSs and simultaneously agree to repurchase substantially the same securities at a later date, typically in one month. AIG accounted for these transactions as collateralized financings under SFAS 140. Even though it had received collateral sufficient to fund substantially all of the cost of purchasing identical replacement securities at the time of transfer, AIG was not fully protected during the term of the contract to replace the asset in the event that the transferee defaulted. Accordingly, AIG should not have accounted for these transactions as financings, but rather as derivatives with mark-to-market changes reflected in earnings. Net income increased by approximately $77 million and $10 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004.
 
Affordable Housing: Through an investment limited partnership, an AIG subsidiary, as the general partner, syndicates the tax benefits (including both tax credits and tax losses) generated by affordable housing real estate properties. AIG guarantees the return of the tax benefits to the limited partner investors. Prior to the second quarter of 2003, these syndication transactions were accounted for as sales and the gain was recorded on a straight-line basis over ten years. Beginning in the third quarter of 2003, because of the guarantees, AIG changed its accounting for these partnerships to record all new syndications as financings, rather than sales. At the same time, AIG adjusted its consolidated balance sheet to reflect previous syndications as financings, but did not record the cumulative impact to earnings because the amounts were viewed as immaterial. AIG has now determined that it is necessary to record these adjustments for the periods prior to the third quarter of 2003, and the First Restatement decreased total assets by approximately $525 million and decreased total shareholders’ equity by approximately $322 million as of December 31, 2004.
 
SunAmerica Partnerships: As part of the First Restatement, management has reclassified the earnings of the SunAmerica partnerships out of other operations, where previously reported, into the Asset Management segment. This revised presentation characterizes the partnership earnings as revenues rather than as a component of insurance acquisition and operating expenses in AIG’s consolidated statement of income. Within the Asset Management segment, this presentation divides the partnership earnings into those of SunAmerica Life, whose equity supports the GIC business, and those of AIG SunAmerica, which are now classified as other asset management revenues. The First Restatement had no effect on consolidated net income or total shareholders’ equity, but increased other revenues by approximately $129 million and $450 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004, and increased insurance and other operating expenses by approximately $129 million and $450 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004.

(b) Second Restatement

     As announced on November 9, 2005, AIG identified certain additional errors in its accounting, the preponderance of which were identified during the remediation of material weaknesses in internal controls referred to above. Because of the significance of the errors to be corrected, AIG will restate its 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

(continued)

for 2004 and 2003 and the first two quarters of 2005. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q restates financial information for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 and reconciles previously reported amounts for those periods to the restated amounts.

     Details of Accounting Adjustments included 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, 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. AIG continues to believe such hedging activities have been and remain economically effective, but do not currently qualify for hedge accounting.

Included in the adjustments to correct AIG’s 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 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 appropriate GAAP accounting for these derivatives and related assets and liabilities, including related currency translation gains and losses, decreased net income by approximately $531 million and $100 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 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 three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004.
 
Income Tax Accounting. During the third quarter, 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 $14 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 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 AIG’s 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 ILFC’s 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 ILFC’s airline customers in connection with leases of certain aircraft, and to reduce ILFC’s 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.
 
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 AIG’s 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 $34 million and $15 million, respectively, for the three month period ended September 30, 2004, and by approximately $84 million and $33 million, respectively, for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004. Additionally, shareholders’ equity was reduced by approximately $320 million as of December 31, 2004.

     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.

  4.  Earnings Per Share (continued)

     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 was approximately $0.01 per share for the first nine months of 2005 and 2004, and less than $0.005 per share for the third quarter of 2005 and 2004.

     The quarterly dividend rate per common share, commencing with the dividend paid September 16, 2005 is $0.15.

 
  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.

     None of the costs of the various benefits provided under the SICO Plans have 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 may permit an early payout 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 participant’s voluntary termination of employment with AIG prior to normal retirement age. In addition, SICO’s Board of Directors may elect to pay a participant cash in lieu of shares of AIG common stock.

     Prior to 2005, SICO 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 $129 million and $42 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 
  6.  Ownership and Transactions With Related Parties

(a) Ownership: C.V. Starr & Co., Inc. (Starr), a private holding company, The Starr Foundation, and SICO, a private holding company, owned in the aggregate approximately 16 percent of the voting stock of AIG at September 30, 2005.

     (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 September 30, 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 AIG’s derivative activity is transacted by AIG’s Capital Markets operations, comprised of AIG Financial Products Corp. and AIG Trading Group Inc. and their subsidiaries (AIGFP). See also Note 20 in AIG’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

     (b) Securities sold, but not yet purchased and spot commodities sold but not yet purchased represent obligations of Capital Markets operations to deliver specified securities and spot commodities at their contracted prices. Capital Markets operations 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 nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 from Capital Markets operations were $2.71 billion and $1.76 billion, respectively.

     (c) At September 30, 2005, ILFC had committed to purchase 308 new aircraft deliverable from 2005 through 2010 at an estimated aggregate purchase price of $20.1 billion and had options to purchase 12 new aircraft deliverable through 2009 at an estimated aggregate purchase price of $988 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 set-

tlements 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 AIG’s future operating results. The reserves carried for these claims at September 30, 2005 ($3.32 billion gross; $1.40 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 employees of AIG and its subsidiaries who are also stockholders of Starr after the giving of a notice of repurchase or redemption under Starr’s organizational documents. AIG will accrue an aggregate of approximately $1 million for 2005 for these contingent liabilities.

     (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 USLIFE’s 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 $358 million as of September 30, 2005.

     (i) On October 14, 2004, the Office of the Attorney General of the State of New York (NYAG) brought a lawsuit chal-

lenging certain insurance brokerage practices related to contingent commissions. Neither AIG nor any of its subsidiaries is a defendant in that action, although two employees of an AIG subsidiary pleaded guilty in connection with the NYAG’s investigation in October 2004 and two additional employees of the same subsidiary pleaded guilty in February 2005. AIG has cooperated, and will continue to cooperate, in the investigation. Regulators from several additional states have commenced investigations into the same matters, and AIG expects there will be additional investigations as well. 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 2005, AIG received subpoenas from the NYAG and the SEC relating to investigations into the use of non-traditional insurance products and certain assumed reinsurance transactions and AIG’s accounting for such transactions. The United States Department of Justice and various state regulators are also investigating related issues. In August 2005, AIG received a pre-summons notice from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) relating to certain items in AIG’s restatement described in the 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K and other issues. AIG has cooperated, and will continue to cooperate, in producing documents and other information in response to the subpoenas.

     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 federal district court in the 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.

     Between October 19, 2004 and August 1, 2005, AIG or its subsidiaries were named as a defendant in thirteen complaints that were filed in federal court and two that were originally filed in state courts in Massachusetts and Florida. 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 bidding practices for insurance coverage in certain sectors of the insurance industry. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation entered an order consolidating most of these cases and transferring them to the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. The remainder of these cases are in the process of being transferred to the District of New Jersey. On August 1, 2005, the plaintiffs in the multidistrict litigation filed a 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 1, 2005, AIG and a subsidiary were named as defendants in a First Consolidated Amended Employee Benefits Complaint filed in the District of New Jersey that adds claims under ERISA. The two cases filed in Massachusetts and Florida state courts have been stayed in favor of the consolidated federal court proceeding.

     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 federal district court in the Southern District of New York adding allegations concerning AIG’s accounting treatment for non-traditional insurance products that have been the subject of AIG’s press releases and are described more fully in AIG’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In September 2005, a second amended complaint was filed in the consolidated securities cases adding allegations concerning AIG’s restatement described in the 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. 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. In September 2005, a consolidated complaint was filed in the ERISA case pending in the Southern District of New York. 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 restatement in AIG’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K and, in August 2005, an amended consolidated complaint was filed. In June 2005, the derivative cases in Delaware were consolidated. AIG’s Board of Directors has appointed a special committee of independent directors to review certain of the matters asserted in the derivative complaints. The court has approved an agreement 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 late 2002, an unrelated derivative action was filed in Delaware Chancery Court in connection with AIG’s transactions with certain entities affiliated with Starr and SICO. AIG’s Board of Directors appointed a special committee of independent directors to review the complaint; the special committee has issued a report concluding that it was not in the best interest of AIG or its shareholders to pursue the litigation and moved the Delaware Chancery Court to terminate the litigation. In May 2005, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint which adds additional claims premised on allegations relating to insurance brokerage practices and AIG’s 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 May 26, 2005, the NYAG and the New York Superintendent of Insurance filed a civil complaint against AIG as well as its former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer M.R. Greenberg, and former Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer Howard Smith, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York. The complaint asserts claims under New York’s Martin Act and Insurance Law, among others, and makes allegations concerning certain of the transactions discussed more fully in the 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The complaint seeks disgorgement, injunctive relief, punitive damages and costs, among other things.

     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 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 AIG’s financial statements at this time. In the opinion of AIG management, AIG’s ultimate liability for the matters referred to above is not likely to have a material adverse effect on AIG’s consolidated financial condition, although it is possible that the effect would be material to AIG’s consolidated results of operations for an individual reporting period.

     (j) On July 8, 2005, Starr International Company, Inc. (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 SICO’s complaint denying SICO’s allegations and asserting counter-claims for breach of contract, unjust enrichment, conversion and breach of fiduciary duty relating to SICO’s breach of its commitment to use its AIG shares for the benefit of AIG and its employees. On October 17, 2005, SICO replied to AIG’s 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 SICO’s 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 have since 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. AIG strongly believes that all the facilities did in fact meet the placed-in-service requirement. Although AIG believes that this issue will be resolved without a material charge to AIG, AIG cannot assure the ultimate outcome of this matter. If this matter were ultimately resolved in a manner unfavorable to AIG, AIG could be prevented from realizing projected future tax credits and could be required to reverse previously utilized tax credits, which could entail payment of substantial additional taxes and interest. Since acquiring the facilities, AIG has recognized approximately $940 million of synfuel tax credits through September 30, 2005, of which $815 million is in dispute.

     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 remainder of 2005 or for years 2006 and 2007 (the final year the tax credits are available), AIG believes that the phase-out provision is unlikely 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.

     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 AIG’s financial statements at this time. In the opinion of AIG management, AIG’s ultimate liability for the matters referred to above is not likely to have a material adverse effect on AIG’s consolidated financial condition, although it is possible that the effect would be material to AIG’s consolidated results of operations for an individual reporting period.

     (l) As a result of pending actions against AIG arising out of the liability of certain Domestic Brokerage Group (DBG) companies for taxes, assessments, and surcharges for policies of workers compensation insurance written between 1985 and 1996, AIG established a reserve in the second quarter of 2005 of $100 million (including interest) to cover estimated liabilities to various states, guarantee funds, and residual market facilities (and the members thereof) relating to these actions.

     (m) AIG understands that some of its employees have received Wells notices in connection with previously disclosed SEC investigations of certain of AIG’s 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.

     (n) 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 is actively involved with both the Bureau of Labor Insurance and its agency union leaders to resolve the issue of which pension plan is appropriate for the agency leaders. Evaluation of the terms of ultimate settlement, including the required financial benefits to be provided, if any, is dependent upon numerous factors, which include agent choice, past service periods and contractual terms, all of which are being reviewed. At the current time, Nan Shan management expects that an amicable solution will be achieved and that the ultimate liability, if any, will not be material to AIG’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

  9.  Recent Accounting Standards

At the March 2004 meeting, the Emerging Issue Task Force (EITF) reached a consensus with respect to Issue No. 03-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments.” On September 30, 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) EITF No. 03-1-1, Effective Date of Paragraphs 10-20 of EITF Issue No. 03-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments” delaying the effective date of this guidance until the FASB had resolved certain implementation issues with respect to this guidance, but the disclosures remain effective. This FSP, re-titled FSP FAS 115-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments,” replaces the measurement and recognition guidance set forth in Issue No. 03-1 and codifies certain existing guidance on impairment. Adoption of FSP FAS 115-1 is not expected to have a material effect on AIG’s financial condition or results of operations.

     At the September 2004 meeting, the EITF reached a consensus with respect to Issue No. 04-8, “Accounting Issues Related to Certain Features of Contingently Convertible Debt and the Effect on Diluted Earnings per Share.” This Issue addresses when the dilutive effect of contingently convertible debt (Co-Cos) with a market price trigger should be included in diluted earnings per share (EPS). The adoption of Issue No. 04-8 did not have a material effect on AIG’s diluted EPS.

     In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 123 (revised 2004) (FAS 123R), “Share-Based Payment.” FAS 123R and its related interpretive guidance replaces FASB Statement No. 123 (FAS 123), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” FAS 123, as originally issued in 1995, established as preferable a fair-value-based method of accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees. On January 1, 2003, AIG adopted the recognition provisions of FAS 123. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) delayed the effective date for FAS 123R. As a result, AIG expects to adopt the provisions of the revised FAS 123R and its interpretive guidance in the first quarter of 2006. AIG is currently assessing the effect of FAS 123R and believes the effect will not be material to AIG’s financial condition or results of operations.

     In March 2005, the 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 FIN46R, 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 entity’s 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. AIG adopted FSP FIN46R-5 in the second quarter of 2005. The adoption of FSP FIN 46R-5 did not have a material effect on AIG’s 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 AIG’s 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 Emerging Issues Task Force (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” (formerly, “Investor’s Accounting for an Investment in a Limited Partnership When the Investor Is the Sole General Partner and 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, “Investor’s 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. 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 debtor’s 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 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.

Cautionary Statement Regarding
Forward-Looking Information

This Quarterly Report and other publicly available documents may include, and AIG’s officers and representatives may from time to time make, statements which may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are not historical facts but instead represent only AIG’s belief regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside AIG’s control. These statements may address, among other things, the status and potential future outcome of the current regulatory and civil proceedings against AIG and their potential effect on AIG’s businesses, financial position, results of operations, cash flows and liquidity, the effect of the credit rating downgrades on AIG’s businesses and competitive position, the unwinding and resolving of various relationships between AIG and Starr and SICO, AIG’s strategy for growth, product development, market position, financial results and reserves. It is possible that AIG’s actual results and financial condition may differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated results and financial condition indicated in these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause AIG’s actual results to differ, possibly materially, from those in the specific forward-looking statements are discussed throughout this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in “Certain Factors Affecting AIG’s Business” in Item 1, Part I of AIG’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. AIG is not under any obligation (and expressly disclaims any such obligations) to update or alter any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Throughout this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, AIG presents its operations in the way it believes will be most meaningful. Statutory underwriting profit (loss) and combined ratios are presented in accordance with accounting principles prescribed by insurance regulatory authorities because these are standard measures of performance used in the insurance industry and thus allow more meaningful comparisons with AIG’s insurance competitors. AIG has also incorporated into this discussion a number of cross-references to additional information included throughout this Form 10-Q to assist readers seeking related information on a particular subject.

Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

     Internal Review; First Restatement. In connection with the preparation of AIG’s consolidated financial statements included in AIG’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K, AIG’s current management initiated an internal review of AIG’s books and records, which was substantially expanded in mid-March 2005. The internal review, conducted under the direction of current senior management, with the oversight of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, spanned AIG’s major business units globally, and included a review of information and a number of transactions from 2000 to 2004. In certain cases, items in periods prior to 2000 were examined due to the nature of the transactions under review. The business units subject to review were Domestic General Insurance, Foreign General Insurance, Reinsurance, Financial Services, Domestic and Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services and Asset Management.

     AIG’s internal review was complemented by investigations by outside counsel for AIG and for the Audit Committee. PwC was consulted on the scope of the internal review for certain matters and reviewed the results of the internal review.

     As a result of the findings of the internal review, together with the results of investigations conducted by outside counsel at the request of AIG’s Audit Committee and in consultation with AIG’s independent auditors, AIG concluded that the accounting for certain transactions and certain relationships needed to be restated.

     AIG restated 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 in conjunction with filing its 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

     Second Restatement. As announced on November 9, 2005, AIG identified certain errors, the preponderance of which were identified during the remediation of previously disclosed material weaknesses in internal controls, 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 will restate its 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 two quarters of 2005. As part of the Second Restatement, AIG will also correct 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 ILFC, which were originally corrected as an out-of-period item in AIG’s Second Quarter Form 10-Q.

Overview of Operations and Business Results

AIG’s operations in 2005 are conducted by its subsidiaries principally through four operating segments: General Insurance, Life Insurance and Retirement Services, Financial Services and Asset Management. 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 AIG’s major strengths and sets it apart from its competitors. The importance of this diversification was especially evident in 2005 and 2004, when record catastrophe related 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 AIG’s 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.

     AIG’s 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. AIG’s 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.

     AIG’s 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

46


Table of Contents

American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
and premiums must be adequate and terms and conditions appropriate to cover the risk accepted. AIG believes in strict control of expenses.

     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 PICC’s 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. AIG’s 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, AIG’s 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 AIG’s penetration of the Japanese market through new distribution channels and will result in operating efficiencies as they are integrated into AIG’s 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 AIG’s revenues, income before income taxes, minority interest and cumulative effect of an accounting change and net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004:

Income before income taxes, minority interest and cumulative effect of an accounting change
    14,911       12,586  

Net income
  $ 10,023     $ 8,290  

Consolidated Results

The 12.4 percent growth in revenues in the first nine 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.

     AIG’s income before income taxes, minority interest and cumulative effect of an accounting change increased 18.5 percent in the first nine months of 2005 when compared to the same period of 2004. Life Insurance & Retirement Services, Financial Services, and Asset Management operating income gains accounted for the increase over 2004 in both pretax income and net income.

(i) Includes $246 million and $74 million in catastrophe related losses from partially owned companies in the third quarter of 2005 and 2004, respectively.

General Insurance

AIG’s General Insurance operations provide property and casualty products and services throughout the world. The decrease in General Insurance operating income in the first nine months of 2005 compared to the same period of 2004 was primarily attributable to the catastrophe related losses, partially offset by strong profitable growth in Foreign General’s underwriting results and DBG’s and Foreign General’s net investment income. General Insurance operating income includes $2.11 billion and $736 million in catastrophe related losses in the third quarter of 2005 and 2004, respectively. In addition, realized capital gains improved for the segment in the first nine months of 2005 compared to the same period of 2004. DBG’s operating income included additional losses in the first nine months of 2005 resulting from increased labor and material costs related to the 2004 Florida hurricanes.

Life Insurance & Retirement Services

AIG’s Life Insurance & Retirement Services operations provide insurance, financial and investment products throughout the world. Foreign operations provided approximately 61 percent of AIG’s Life Insurance & Retirement Services operating income for the first nine months of 2005.

     Life Insurance & Retirement Services operating income increased by 17.7 percent in the first nine months of 2005 when compared to the same period of 2004. This increase resulted from growth in AIG’s principal Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services businesses, and the improvement in realized capital gains in 2005 compared to 2004, including the effect of hedging activities that do not qualify for hedge accounting under FAS 133. Life insurance operating income includes $12 million and $5 million in catastrophe related losses in the first nine months of 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Financial Services

AIG’s Financial Services subsidiaries engage in diversified activities including aircraft and equipment leasing, capital markets transactions, consumer finance and insurance premium financing.

     Financial Services operating income increased significantly in the first nine 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. The increase was partially offset by $62 million in catastrophe related losses in the Consumer Finance operations in the third quarter of 2005. Consumer Finance operations increased revenues and operating income, both domestically and internationally.

Asset Management

AIG’s 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 10.3 percent in the first nine 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 September 30, 2005, AIG had total consolidated shareholders’ equity of $89.28 billion and total consolidated borrowings of $104.82 billion. At that date, $93.71 billion of

48


Table of Contents

American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
such borrowings were either not guaranteed by AIG or were 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 September 30, 2005, AIG purchased in the open market 2,477,100 shares of its common stock.

Liquidity

At September 30, 2005, AIG’s consolidated invested assets included $18.35 billion in cash and short-term investments. Consolidated net cash provided from operating activities in the first nine months of 2005 amounted to $23.08 billion. AIG believes that its liquid assets, cash provided by operations, access to short term funding through commercial paper and bank credit facilities and ability to access the markets under Rule 144A will enable it to meet any anticipated cash requirements.

Outlook

From March through June of 2005, the major rating agencies downgraded AIG’s ratings in a series of actions. Standard & Poor’s, 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’ and changed the rating outlook to negative. Moody’s Investors Service (Moody’s) lowered AIG’s long-term senior debt rating from ‘Aaa’ to ‘Aa2’ and changed the outlook to stable. Fitch Ratings (Fitch) downgraded the long-term senior debt ratings of AIG from ‘AAA’ to ‘AA’ and placed the ratings on Rating Watch Negative.

     The agencies also took rating actions on AIG’s insurance subsidiaries. S&P and Fitch lowered to ‘AA+’ the insurance financial strength ratings of most of AIG’s insurance companies. Moody’s lowered the insurance financial strength ratings generally to either ‘Aa1’ or ‘Aa2’. A.M. Best downgraded the financial strength ratings for most of AIG’s insurance subsidiaries from ‘A++’ to ‘A+’ and the issuer credit ratings from ‘aa+’ to ‘aa-’. Many of these companies’ ratings remain on a negative watch.

     In addition, S&P changed the outlook on ILFC’s ‘AA-’ long-term senior debt rating to negative. Moody’s affirmed ILFC’s long-term and short-term senior debt ratings (‘A1’/‘P-1’). Fitch downgraded ILFC’s long-term senior debt rating from ‘AA-’ to ‘A+’ and placed the rating on Rating Watch Negative and downgraded ILFC’s short-term debt rating from ‘F1+’ to ‘F1’. Fitch also placed the ‘A+’ long-term senior debt ratings of American General Finance Corporation and American General Finance, Inc. on Rating Watch Negative. S&P and Moody’s affirmed the long-term and short-term senior debt ratings of American General Finance Corporation at ‘A+’/‘A-1’ and ‘A1’/‘P-1’, 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 management’s 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 AIG’s business and results of operations in a number of ways.

Downgrades in AIG’s debt ratings will adversely affect AIG’s 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 issuer’s long-term and short-term debt ratings. These downgrades and any future downgrades in AIG’s debt ratings will increase AIG’s borrowing costs and therefore adversely affect AIG’s results of operations.
 
The downgrade in AIG’s long-term senior debt ratings will adversely affect AIGFP’s ability to compete for certain businesses. Credit ratings are very important to the ability of financial institutions to compete in the derivative and structured transaction marketplaces. Historically, AIG’s 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 AIG’s liquidity.
 
Although the financial strength ratings of AIG’s 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 AIG’s insurance company subsidiaries may be lessened accordingly.
 
As a result of the downgrades of AIG’s 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 October 31, 2005, based on AIG’s outstanding municipal guaranteed investment agreements and financial derivatives transactions as of such date, a further downgrade of AIG’s long-term senior debt ratings to ‘Aa3’ by Moody’s or ‘AA-’ by S&P would permit counterparties to call for approximately $1.29 billion 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

49


Table of Contents

American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
on market conditions, the market value of the outstanding affected transactions and other factors prevailing at the time of the downgrade. The requirement to post additional collateral may increase if additional counterparties begin to require credit support from AIG through collateralization agreements. Additional obligations to post collateral will increase the demand on AIG’s liquidity.

     Despite industry price erosion in some classes of property and casualty insurance, AIG expects to continue to identify profitable opportunities and build attractive new General Insurance businesses as a result of AIG’s broad product line and extensive distribution networks.

     AIG currently estimates that its after-tax insurance related losses, net of reinsurance recoverables and including net reinstatement premium costs, from Hurricane Wilma will be approximately $400 million. These losses will be reflected in AIG’s fourth quarter 2005 results. These estimates involve the exercise of considerable judgment and reflect a combination of ground-up evaluations, reports from field adjusters, modeled numbers and industry loss estimates. Due to the complexity of factors contributing to the losses, the uncertainty of trends in labor and material costs in the areas affected by the hurricane and the preliminary nature of the information used to prepare certain of these estimates, there can be no assurance that AIG’s ultimate costs associated with this hurricane will not exceed these estimates.

     In China, AIG has wholly-owned life insurance operations in eight cities. These operations should benefit from China’s 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 AIG’s 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 Life’s integration into AIG’s existing Japanese operations should provide future operating efficiencies. In January 2005, AIG Star Life entered into an agreement with the Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi, one of Japan’s 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 sales 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 continues to be weak. AIG has recently restructured the group life/health business and expects positive results to begin emerging in the first half of 2006. The home service operation is expected to be a slow growth business within the domestic life companies. AIG American General’s current ratings remain equal to or higher than many of its principal competitors. AIG American General competes with a variety of companies based on services and products, in addition to ratings. The recent rating actions appear to be having no negative long term effect on independent producer relationships or customer surrender 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. AIG also expects increased contributions to Financial Services revenues and income from its consumer finance operations both domestically and overseas. However, the downgrades of AIG’s credit ratings may adversely affect funding costs for AIG and its subsidiaries and AIGFP’s ability to engage in derivative transactions and certain structured products. See “Certain Factors Affecting AIG’s Business — AIG’s Credit Ratings” in Item 1 of Part I of AIG’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

     GICs, which are sold domestically and abroad to both institutions and individuals, are written on an opportunistic basis when market conditions are favorable. In September 2005, AIG launched a $10 billion matched investment program in the Euromarkets under which AIG debt securities will be issued. AIG also expects to launch a matched investment program in the domestic market which, along with the Euro program, will become AIG’s principal spread-based investment activity. However, in light of recent developments, the timing of the launch of the domestic program is uncertain. Because AIG’s credit spreads in the capital markets have widened following the ratings declines, there may be a reduction in the earnings on new business in AIG’s spread based funding businesses.

     AIG has many promising growth initiatives underway around the world. Cooperative agreements such as those with PICC and various banks in the U.S., Japan and Korea are expected to expand distribution networks for AIG’s 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

Table of Contents

American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
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, AIG’s results of operations would be directly affected.

     Throughout this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, AIG’s 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):

Operating Review

General Insurance Operations

AIG’s General Insurance subsidiaries are multiple line companies writing substantially all lines of property and casualty insurance both domestically and abroad. See also Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

     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).

     AIG’s primary domestic division is DBG. DBG’s 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, 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 AIG’s 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.

     AIG’s 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 main business of the UGC subsidiaries is the issuance of residential mortgage guaranty insurance on conventional first lien mortgages for the purchase or refinance of 1-4 family residences. This type of insurance protects lenders in both domestic and international markets against loss if borrowers default. Other UGC subsidiaries write second lien and private student loan guaranty insurance. The second lien coverage protects lenders against loss from default on home equity and closed-end second mortgages used to finance home improvements, repairs or other expenses not directly related to the purchase of a borrower’s home. Private student loan guaranty insurance protects lenders against loss if the student, or in many cases the student’s parent, defaults on their education loan.

     AIG’s 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 AIG’s foreign-based insurance subsidiaries. The Foreign General Insurance group uses various marketing methods and multiple distribution channels to write both business and consumer 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 operating income from underwriting exclusive of investment-related income. When underwriting is not profitable, premiums are inadequate to pay for insured losses and underwriting related expenses. In these situations, the addition of general insurance related investment income and realized capital gains may, however, enable a general insurance business to produce operating income. For these reasons, AIG views underwriting profit to be critical in the overall evaluation of performance. Although in and of itself not a GAAP measurement, AIG believes that underwriting profit is a useful and meaningful disclosure. See also the discussion under “Liquidity” herein.

     Underwriting profit is measured in two ways: statutory underwriting profit and GAAP underwriting profit.

     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.

     A basic premise of GAAP accounting is the recognition of expenses at the same time revenues are earned, the accounting principle of matching. Therefore, to convert underwriting results to a GAAP basis, acquisition expenses are deferred (deferred policy acquisition costs (DAC)) and amortized over the period the related net premiums written are earned. Accordingly, the statutory underwriting profit has been adjusted as a result of acquisition expenses being deferred as required by GAAP. 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

52


Table of Contents

American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
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 underwriting profit, net investment income and realized capital gains and losses. These components, as well as net premiums written, net premiums earned and statutory ratios for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 were as follows:

General Insurance Results

General Insurance operating income in the first nine months of 2005 decreased after accounting for catastrophe related losses. This decrease was partially offset by strong profitable growth in Foreign General’s underwriting results and DBG’s and Foreign General’s net investment income. DBG’s underwriting results also included additional losses incurred resulting from increased labor and material costs related to the 2004 Florida hurricanes.

     DBG’s net premiums written increased modestly in the first nine months of 2005 when compared to the same period in 2004, reflecting generally improving renewal retention rates and a modest change in the mix of business towards smaller accounts for which DBG purchases less reinsurance. DBG also continued to expand its relationships with a larger number and broader range of brokers. Recently, DBG has seen improvement in domestic property rates as well as increases in submission activity in the aftermath of the 2005 hurricanes. DBG attributes the increase in submissions to its overall financial strength in comparison to many insurers that experienced significant losses and reductions of surplus as a result of the hurricanes. The DBG loss ratio increased in 2005 from the same nine month period in 2004 principally as a result of the third quarter 2005 catastrophe related losses and the $157 million of additional losses resulting from increased labor and material costs related to the 2004 hurricanes. Excluding the effect of catastrophes, DBG’s loss ratio improved in the first nine months of 2005 when compared to the same period of 2004.

     Transatlantic’s net premiums written and net premiums earned for the first nine months of 2005 decreased compared with the same period in 2004, principally as a result of decreased domestic business, somewhat offset by increases in international business. The decline in domestic premiums is a result of higher ceding company retentions, and softening of primary and reinsurance rates in most classes prior to the recent catastrophe loss events.

     Personal Lines net premiums written for the first nine months of 2005 increased when compared to the same period of 2004 due to strong growth in the Agency Auto and Private Client Group businesses offset by relatively flat growth in the 21st Century and AIG Direct businesses and a reduction in the Involuntary auto business. Agency Auto and Private Client Group growth is due to increased agent/broker appointments and penetration as well as enhanced product offerings. 21st Century premiums are up slightly over 2004 due to continued expansion outside of California. AIG Direct premiums, with new auto policy production up 17 percent, are down slightly from 2004 due to the aggressive re-underwriting of the previously acquired GE business and the discontinuation of underwriting homeowners insurance. Involuntary auto premiums are down in 2005 due to the decline in the assigned risk marketplace. Operating income, before the effect of hurricanes, declined modestly for the first nine months of 2005 for the year as a result of lower volume and reduced margins in the involuntary auto business.

     Mortgage Guaranty net premiums written were up slightly for the first nine months of 2005 when compared to the same period in 2004. Strong growth in second liens and international businesses was mostly offset by an accrual of ceded premiums in the domestic first lien business that will be paid to reinsurance captives in the fourth quarter of 2005. UGC’s new operation in Spain and continued strong growth in Hong Kong drove international results.

     During the third quarter of 2005, UGC reduced loss reserves to reflect favorable development in the domestic first lien business, partially offset by additional reserves established for slower cure rates on delinquent loans in the Gulf Coast region.

     Foreign General Insurance had strong results in both the first nine months of 2005 and the third quarter of 2005 even after losses relating to third quarter catastrophe events, principally Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Growth in net premiums written was achieved due to new business as well as new distribution channels, which were partially offset by rate decreases in Australia and the United Kingdom commercial lines portfolios. In Japan, the purchase of the Royal & SunAlliance branch operations opened new distribution channels. Personal accident business in the Far East and commercial lines in Europe exhibited strong growth and had excellent results. Personal lines operations in Brazil and Latin America continue to exhibit strong growth. This growth translated into improved underwriting results. The Lloyd’s Ascot syndicate continues to exhibit strong growth; however, losses relating to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita caused a significant reduction in third quarter 2005 underwriting results. Rate decreases in the United Kingdom commercial lines and reinstatement premiums, principally in the Ascot syndicate, caused significant reductions in third quarter 2005 growth in net premiums written. Other third quarter 2005 catastrophe events included typhoons in Japan, floods in India and Europe and an earthquake in Chile. Approximately half of the Foreign General Insurance net premiums written is derived from commercial insurance and the remainder from consumer lines.

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 nine months of 2005:

         
2005

Growth in original currency

     AIG’s General Insurance results reflect the effect of catastrophe related losses of $2.11 billion and $736 million in the third quarter of 2005 and 2004, respectively. The effect of catastrophes can fluctuate widely from year to year, making comparisons of recurring type business more difficult. With respect to catastrophe related 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 AIG’s results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.

     General Insurance net investment income grew in the first nine 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. Partnership income was particularly strong for Foreign General in both the first nine months of 2005 and the third quarter of 2005 due to increases in market valuations of infrastructure fund investments in Africa, Asia, China, Eastern Europe and India. Additionally, net investment income was positively affected by the compounding of previously earned and reinvested net investment income.

     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 AIG’s consolidated income before income taxes, minority interest and cumulative effect of an accounting change was 23.3 percent in the first nine months of 2005 compared to 27.7 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 AIG’s reinsurers and result in an inability of AIG to collect reinsurance recoverables. AIG’s 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 AIG’s 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 AIG’s exposure to potentially significant losses. AIG is aware of the significant effect the 2005 hurricanes have had on its reinsurers. After discussions with many of its reinsurers, AIG believes that, while pricing, terms and conditions may change, sufficient capacity will be available to meet its current and future needs.

     AIG’s consolidated general reinsurance assets amounted to $20.68 billion at September 30, 2005 and resulted from AIG’s reinsurance arrangements. Thus, a credit exposure existed at September 30, 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. At December 31, 2004, approximately 90 percent of the balances with respect to authorized reinsurers were from reinsurers rated A (excellent) or better, as rated by A.M. Best, or A (strong) or better, as rated by Standard & Poor’s. These ratings are measures of financial strength.

     AIG maintains a reserve for estimated unrecoverable reinsurance. While AIG has been largely successful in its previous recovery efforts, at September 30, 2005 AIG had a reserve for unrecoverable reinsurance approximating $512 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).

     AIG’s 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 AIG’s 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, AIG’s 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 AIG’s 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 September 30, 2005, approximately $3.3 billion of letters of credit were outstanding to cover intercompany reinsurance transactions with AIRCO or other General Insurance subsidiaries.

     At September 30, 2005, the consolidated general reinsurance assets of $20.68 billion include reinsurance recoverables for paid losses and loss expenses of $949 million, $16.61 billion with respect to the ceded reserve for losses and loss expenses, including ceded losses incurred but not reported (IBNR) (ceded reserves) and $3.12 billion of ceded reserve for unearned premiums. The ceded reserves represent the accumulation of estimates of ultimate ceded losses including provisions for ceded IBNR and loss expenses. The methods used to determine such estimates and to establish the resulting ceded reserves are continually reviewed and updated by management. Any adjustments thereto are reflected in income currently. It is AIG’s belief that the ceded reserves at September 30, 2005 were representative of the ultimate losses recoverable. In the future, as the ceded reserves continue to develop to ultimate amounts, the ultimate loss recoverable may be greater or less than the reserves currently ceded.

     At September 30, 2005, General Insurance net loss reserves increased $6.80 billion from the prior year end to $54.55 billion. The net loss reserves represent loss reserves reduced by reinsurance recoverables, net of an allowance for unrecoverable reinsurance and the discount for future investment income.

(a) DBG loss reserves include approximately $3.29 billion ($3.82 billion before discount) related to business written by DBG but ceded to AIRCO and reported in AIRCO’s statutory filings.
(b) Personal Lines loss reserves include $807 million related to business ceded to DBG and reported in DBG’s statutory filings.
(c) Foreign General loss reserves include approximately $2.12 billion related to business reported in DBG’s statutory filings.

     The DBG net loss reserve of $37.93 billion is comprised principally of the business of AIG subsidiaries participating in the American Home/National Union pool (11 companies) and the surplus lines pool (Lexington, Starr Excess Liability Insurance Company and Landmark Insurance Company).

     Beginning in 1998, DBG ceded a quota share percentage of its other liability occurrence and products liability occurrence business to AIRCO. The quota share percentage ceded was 40 percent in 1998, 65 percent in 1999, 75 percent in 2000 and 2001, 50 percent in 2002 and 2003, 40 percent in 2004 and 35 percent in 2005 and covered all business written in these years for these lines by participants in the American Home/National Union pool. In 1998 the cession reflected only the other liability occurrence business, but in 1999 and subsequent years included products liability occurrence. AIRCO’s loss reserves relating to these quota share cessions from DBG are recorded on a discounted basis. As of September 30, 2005, AIRCO carried a discount of approximately $530 million applicable to the $3.82 billion in undiscounted reserves it assumed from the American Home/National Union pool via this quota share cession. AIRCO also carries approximately $436 million in net loss reserves relating to Foreign General insurance business. These reserves are carried on an undiscounted basis.

     Beginning in 1997, the Personal Lines division ceded a percentage of all business written by the companies participating in the personal lines pool to the American Home/National Union pool. As noted above, the total reserves carried by participants in the American Home/National Union

56


Table of Contents

American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
pool relating to this cession amounted to $807 million as of September 30, 2005.

     The companies participating in the American Home/National Union pool have maintained a participation in the business written by AIU for decades. As of September 30, 2005, these AIU reserves carried by participants in the American Home/National Union pool amounted to approximately $2.12 billion. The remaining Foreign General reserves are carried by AIUO, AIRCO, and other smaller AIG subsidiaries domiciled outside the United States. Statutory filings in the U.S. by AIG companies reflect all the business written by U.S. domiciled entities only, and therefore exclude business written by AIUO, AIRCO, and all other internationally domiciled subsidiaries. The total reserves carried at September 30, 2005 by AIUO and AIRCO were approximately $3.91 billion and $3.73 billion, respectively. AIRCO’s $3.73 billion in total General Insurance reserves consist of approximately $3.29 billion from business assumed from the American Home/National Union pool and an additional $436 million relating to Foreign General Insurance business.

     The above noted intercompany reinsurance transactions are separately presented in AIG’s segment disclosure.

     At September 30, 2005, AIG’s overall General Insurance net loss reserves reflects a loss reserve discount of $1.55 billion, including tabular and non-tabular calculations. The tabular workers compensation discount is calculated using a 3.5 percent interest rate and the 1979-81 Decennial Mortality Table. The non-tabular workers compensation discount is calculated separately for companies domiciled in New York and Pennsylvania, and follows the statutory regulations for each state. For New York companies, the discount is based on a five percent interest rate and the companies’ own payout patterns. For Pennsylvania companies, the statute has specified discount factors for accident years 2001 and prior, which are based on a six percent interest rate and an industry payout pattern. For accident years 2002 and subsequent, the discount is based on the yield of U.S. Treasury securities ranging from one to twenty years and the company’s own payout pattern, with the future expected payment for each year using the interest rate associated with the corresponding Treasury security yield for that time period. The discount is comprised of the following: $398 million – tabular discount for workers compensation in DBG; $624 million – non-tabular discount for workers compensation in DBG; and, $530 million – non-tabular discount for other liability occurrence and products liability occurrence in AIRCO. The total undiscounted workers compensation loss reserve carried by DBG is approximately $9.5 billion as of September 30, 2005. The other liability occurrence and products liability occurrence business in AIRCO that is assumed from DBG is discounted using a 5.5 percent interest rate and the DBG payout pattern for this business. The undiscounted reserves assumed by AIRCO from DBG totaled approximately $3.82 billion at September 30, 2005.

     The methods used to determine loss reserve estimates and to establish the resulting reserves are continually reviewed and updated by management. Any adjustments resulting therefrom are reflected in operating income currently. 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 of September 30, 2005. While AIG annually reviews the adequacy of established loss reserves, there can be no assurance that AIG’s ultimate loss reserves will not adversely develop and materially exceed AIG’s loss reserves as of September 30, 2005. In the opinion of management, such adverse development and resulting increase in reserves is not likely to have a material adverse effect on AIG’s consolidated financial position, although it could have a material adverse effect on AIG’s consolidated results of operations for an individual reporting period.

     AIG has commissioned Milliman, Inc. to conduct a comprehensive independent actuarial review of the loss reserves of its principal property-casualty insurance operations. The review is expected to be completed before AIG reports its full year 2005 financial results.

The table below presents the reconciliation of net loss reserves for the first nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 as follows:

Additionally, includes $120 million in the first nine months of 2005 and $165 million in the first nine months of 2004 for the general reinsurance operations of Transatlantic, and $157 million of additional losses incurred in the first nine months of 2005 resulting from increased labor and material costs related to the 2004 Florida hurricanes.

     In the third quarter of 2005, net loss development from prior accident years was approximately $341 million, including $97 million attributable to accretion of loss reserve discount and $30 million from the general reinsurance operations of Transatlantic. For the third quarter of 2004, the comparable loss development from prior accident years was approximately $404 million, including $94 million attributable to accretion of loss reserve discount and $70 million from the general reinsurance operations of Transatlantic. The prior year development for the third quarter of 2005 included approximately $350 million of adverse development from accident years 2001 and prior, offset by approximately

$130 million of favorable development from accident year 2004 and approximately $30 million of favorable development from accident year 2003. Most classes of business experienced adverse development in the third quarter of 2005 for accident years 2001 and prior. The majority of this adverse development emanated from the excess casualty and D&O classes of business. Accident years 2002 through 2004 experienced favorable development for most classes of business, with the exception of D&O which continued to experience adverse development for accident year 2002.

     For the first nine months of 2005, net loss development from prior accident years was approximately $665 million, including $291 million attributable to accretion of loss reserve discount and $120 million from the general reinsurance operations of Transatlantic. For the first nine months of 2004, the comparable loss development from prior accident years was approximately $1.15 billion, including $282 million attributable to accretion of loss reserve discount and $165 million from the general reinsurance operations of Transatlantic. The prior year development for the first nine months of 2005 included approximately $1.1 billion of adverse development from accident years 2001 and prior and approximately $50 million of adverse development from accident year 2002, offset by approximately $300 million of favorable development from accident year 2003 and $600 million of favorable development from accident year 2004. The $600 million of overall favorable development from accident year 2004 includes adverse development of $157 million attributable to increased labor and material costs related to the 2004 Florida hurricanes. The majority of the adverse development from accident years 2001 and prior emanated from the excess casualty and D&O classes of business. Most other classes of business also produced adverse development for accident years 2001 and prior, but in smaller amounts. The significant majority of classes of business produced favorable development for accident years 2003 and 2004. For accident year 2002, most classes of business produced favorable development; however, in the aggregate there was adverse development for accident year 2002 due primarily to the D&O class of business.

     In a very broad sense, the General Insurance loss reserves can be categorized into two distinct groups. One group is long-tail casualty lines of business which include excess and umbrella liability, D&O, professional liability, medical malpractice, workers compensation, general liability, products liability, and related classes. The other group is short-tail lines of business consisting principally of property lines, personal lines and certain classes of casualty lines.

     For operations writing short-tail coverages, such as property coverages, the process of recording quarterly loss reserve changes is geared toward maintaining an appropriate reserve level for the outstanding exposure, rather than determining an expected loss ratio for current business. For example, the IBNR reserve required for a class of property business might be expected to approximate 20 percent of the latest year’s earned premiums, and this level of reserve would be maintained regardless of the loss ratio emerging in the current quarter. The 20 percent factor is adjusted to reflect changes in rate levels, loss reporting patterns, known exposures to large unreported losses, or other factors affecting the particular class of business.

     Estimation of ultimate net losses and loss expenses (net losses) for long-tail casualty lines of business is a complex process and depends on a number of factors, including the line and volume of the business involved. Experience in the more recent accident years of long-tail casualty lines shows limited statistical credibility in reported net losses because a relatively low proportion of net losses would be reported claims and expenses and an even smaller proportion would be net losses paid. Therefore, IBNR would constitute a relatively high proportion of net losses.

     AIG’s carried net long-tail loss reserves are tested using loss trend factors that AIG considers most appropriate for each class of business. A variety of actuarial methods and assumptions is 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. For the majority of long-tail casualty lines, net loss trend factors approximated five percent. Loss trend factors reflect many items including changes in claims handling, exposure and policy forms; current and future estimates of monetary inflation and social inflation and increases in litigation and awards. These factors are periodically reviewed and subsequently adjusted, as appropriate, to reflect emerging trends which are based upon past loss experience. Thus, many factors are implicitly considered in estimating the year to year growth in loss costs recognized.

     A number of actuarial assumptions are made in the review of reserves for each line of business. For longer tail lines of business, actuarial assumptions generally are made with respect to the following:

Loss trend factors which are used to establish expected loss ratios for subsequent accident years based on the projected loss ratio for prior accident years.
 
Expected loss ratios for the latest accident year (i.e., accident year 2004 for the year end 2004 loss reserve analysis) and, in some cases, for accident years prior to the latest accident year. The expected loss ratio generally reflects the projected loss ratio from prior accident years, adjusted for the loss trend (see above) and the effect of rate changes and other quantifiable factors. For low-frequency, high-severity classes such as excess casualty and D&O, expected loss ratios generally are utilized for at least the three most recent accident years.

Loss development factors which are used to project the reported losses for each accident year to an ultimate basis.

     AIG records quarterly changes in loss reserves for each of its many General Insurance profit centers. The overall change in AIG’s loss reserves is based on the sum of these profit center level changes. For most profit centers which write longer tail classes of casualty coverage, the process of recording quarterly loss reserve changes involves determining the estimated current loss ratio for each class of coverage. This loss ratio is multiplied by the current quarter’s net earned premium for that class of coverage to determine the quarter’s total estimated net incurred loss and loss expense. The change in loss reserves for the quarter for each class is thus the difference between the net incurred loss and loss expense, estimated as described above, and the net paid losses and loss expenses in the quarter.

     The process of determining the current loss ratio for each class or business segment begins in the profit centers in the latter part of the previous year. The loss ratios determined for each profit center are based on a variety of factors. These include, but are not limited to, the following considerations: prior accident year and policy year loss ratios; actual and anticipated rate changes; actual and anticipated changes in coverage, reinsurance, or mix of business; actual and anticipated changes in external factors affecting results, such as trends in loss costs or in the legal and claims environment. Each profit center’s loss ratio for the following year is subject to review by the profit center’s management, by actuarial and accounting staffs, and ultimately by senior management. At the close of each quarter, the assumptions underlying the loss ratios are reviewed to determine if the loss ratios based thereon remain appropriate. This process includes a review of the actual claims experience in the quarter, actual rate changes achieved, actual changes in coverage, reinsurance or mix of business, and changes in certain other factors that may affect the loss ratio. When this review suggests that the initially determined loss ratio is no longer appropriate, the loss ratio for current business would be changed to reflect the revised assumptions.

     A comprehensive annual loss reserve review is conducted in the fourth quarter of each year for each AIG General Insurance subsidiary. These reviews are conducted in full detail for each class or line of business for each subsidiary, and thus consist of literally hundreds of individual analyses. The purpose of these reviews is to confirm the reasonableness of the reserves carried by each of the individual subsidiaries, and thereby of AIG’s overall carried reserves. The reserve analysis for each business class is performed by the actuarial personnel who are most familiar with that class of business. In completing these detailed actuarial reserve analyses, the actuaries are required to make numerous assumptions, including for example the selection of loss development factors and loss cost trend factors. They are also required to determine and select the most appropriate actuarial method(s) to employ for each business class. Additionally, they must determine the appropriate segmentation of data or segments from which the adequacy of the reserves can be most accurately tested. In the course of these detailed reserve reviews for each business segment, a point estimate of the loss reserve is generally determined. The sum of these point estimates for each of the individual business classes for each subsidiary provides an overall actuarial point estimate of the loss reserve for that subsidiary. The overall actuarial point estimate is compared to the subsidiary’s carried loss reserve. If the carried reserve can be supported by actuarial methods and assumptions which are also believed to be reasonable, then the carried reserve would generally be considered reasonable and no adjustment would be considered. The ultimate process by which the actual carried reserves are determined considers not only the actuarial point estimate but a myriad of other factors. Other crucial internal and external factors considered include a qualitative assessment of inflation and other economic conditions in the United States and abroad, changes in the legal, regulatory, judicial and social environments, underlying policy pricing, terms and conditions, and claims handling. Loss reserve development can also be affected by commutations of assumed and ceded reinsurance agreements.

     With respect to the 2004 year-end actuarial loss reserve analysis for DBG, the actuaries continued to utilize the modified assumptions which gave additional weight to actual loss development from the more recent years, as identified during the 2002 and 2003 analysis, with appropriate adjustments to account for the additional year of loss experience which emerged in 2004. Although the actuaries continued to use actuarial assumptions that rely on expected loss ratios based on the results of prior accident years, the expected loss ratio assumptions used continue to give far greater weight to the more recent accident year experience than was the case in the prior year-end assumptions. For example, for the excess casualty lead umbrella class of business, 100 percent weight was given to the experience of accident years 1998-2001, with no weight given to the more favorable experience of accident years prior to 1998.

     AIG’s annual loss reserve review does not calculate a range of loss reserve estimates. Because a large portion of the loss reserves from AIG’s General Insurance business relates to long-tail casualty lines driven by severity rather than frequency of claims, such as excess casualty and D&O, developing a range around loss reserve estimates would not be meaningful. An estimate is calculated which AIG’s actuaries believe provides a reasonable estimate of the required reserve. This amount is then evaluated against actual carried reserves.

     There is potential for significant variation in the development of loss reserves, particularly for long-tail casualty classes of business such as excess casualty, when actual costs differ from the assumptions used to test the reserves. Such assumptions include those made for loss trend factors and loss development factors, as described earlier. Set forth below is a sensitivity analysis demonstrating the estimated effect on

the loss reserve position of alternative loss trend or loss development factor assumptions as compared to those actually used to test the carried reserves.

     For the excess casualty class of business the assumed loss cost trend was five percent. Thus, in establishing the expected loss ratios for accident years 2002 through 2004, the loss costs from accident years 1998 through 2001 were trended by this five percent factor per annum. A five percent change in the assumed loss cost trend from each accident year to the next would cause approximately a $600 million change (either positively or negatively) to the net loss and loss expense reserve for this business. For the D&O and related management liability classes of business the assumed loss cost trend was four percent. Thus, in establishing the expected loss ratios for accident years 2002 through 2004, the loss costs from accident years 1997 through 2001 were trended by this four percent factor per annum. A five percent change in this assumed loss cost trend would cause approximately a $500 million change (either positively or negatively) to the net loss and loss expense reserve for such business. For healthcare liability business, including hospitals and other healthcare exposures, a five percent change in the assumed loss cost trend would cause approximately a $150 million change (either positively or negatively) to the loss and loss expense reserve for this business. Actual loss cost trends in the early 1990’s were negative for these classes, whereas in the late 1990’s loss costs trends ran well into the double digits for each of these three classes. The sharp increase in loss costs in the late 1990’s was thus much greater than the five percent changes cited above, and caused significant increases in the overall loss reserve needs for these classes. While changes in the loss cost trend assumptions can have a significant effect on the reserve needs for other smaller classes of liability business, the potential effect of these changes on AIG’s overall carried reserves would be much less than for the classes noted above.

     For the excess casualty class, if future loss development factors differed by five percent from those utilized in the year-end 2004 loss reserve review, there would be approximately a $450 million change (either positively or negatively) to the overall AIG loss reserve position. The comparable effect on the D&O and related management liability classes would be approximately $200 million (either positively or negatively) if future loss development factors differed by five percent from those utilized in the year-end 2004 loss reserve review. For healthcare liability classes, the effect would be approximately $125 million (either positively or negatively). For workers compensation reserves, the effect of a five percent deviation from the loss development factors utilized in the year-end 2004 reserve reviews would be approximately $750 million (either positively or negatively). Because loss development factors for this class have shown less volatility than higher severity classes such as excess casualty, however, actual changes in loss development factors are expected to be less than five percent. There is some degree of volatility in loss development patterns for other longer tail liability classes as well. However, the potential effect on AIG’s reserves would be much less than for the classes cited above.

     The calculations of the effect of the five percent change in loss development factors are made by selecting the stage of accident year development where it is believed reasonable for such a deviation to occur. For example, for workers compensation, the $750 million amount is calculated by assuming that each of the most recent eight accident years develop five percent higher than estimated by the current loss development factors utilized in the reserve study, i.e. the factor 1.05 is multiplied by the incurred losses (including IBNR and loss expenses) for these accident years.

     AIG management believes that using a five percent change in the assumptions for loss cost trends and loss development factors provides a reasonable benchmark for a sensitivity analysis of the reserves of AIG’s most significant lines of general insurance business. For excess casualty business, both the loss cost trend and the loss development factor assumptions are critical. Generally, actual historical loss development factors are used to project future loss development. However, there can be no assurance that future loss development patterns will be the same as in the past. Moreover, as excess casualty is a long-tail class of business, any deviation in loss cost trends or in loss development factors might not be discernible for an extended period of time subsequent to the recording of the initial loss reserve estimates for any accident year. Thus, there is the potential for the reserves with respect to a number of accident years to be significantly affected by changes in the loss cost trends or loss development factors that were initially relied upon in setting the reserves. These changes in loss trends or loss development factors could be attributable to changes in inflation or in the judicial environment, or in other social or economic phenomena affecting claims. For example, during the lengthy periods during which losses develop for excess casualty, actual changes in loss costs from one accident year to the next have ranged from negative values to double-digit amounts. Thus, there is the potential for significant volatility in loss costs for excess casualty and, although five percent is considered a reasonable benchmark for sensitivity analysis for this business, there is the potential for variations far greater than this amount (either positively or negatively). Likewise, in the judgment of AIG’s actuaries, five percent is considered an appropriate benchmark for sensitivity analysis with respect to the loss development factor assumptions used to test the reserves. It should be noted that the loss cost trend factor for excess casualty was reduced to five percent in the year-end 2004 loss reserve review compared to the 7.5 percent loss trend factor used in the 2003 review for excess casualty. This reduction was made by AIG’s actuaries in response to a significant favorable loss trend that had emerged from accident year 2000 to 2001. This favorable trend appears to be continuing in accident years

2002 and 2003, although these accident years are still immature.

     For D&O and related management liability classes of business, the loss cost trend assumption is critical. The loss development factor assumption is important but less critical than for excess casualty. As this coverage is written on a claims-made basis, claims for a given accident year are all reported within that year. Actual changes in loss costs from one accident year to the next in the 1990s ranged from double digit negative values for several accident years in the early 1990s to nearly 50 percent per year for the period from accident year 1996 to accident year 1999. Thus, there is the potential for extreme volatility in loss costs for this business and, although five percent is considered a reasonable benchmark for sensitivity analysis, there is the potential for variations far greater than this amount (either positively or negatively). Five percent is also considered an appropriate benchmark for sensitivity analysis with respect to the loss development factor assumptions used to test the reserves for these classes. However, as noted above, the effect of such a deviation is less than that of a similar deviation in loss cost trends. It should be noted that the loss cost trend factor for D&O and related management liability classes was reduced to four percent in the year end 2004 loss reserve reviews compared to six percent in the 2003 review. This reduction was made by AIG’s actuaries in response to a relative stabilization in loss costs from accident year 1999 to 2001 following the period of sharp increases in loss costs through 1999. The stabilization in loss costs appears to be continuing in accident years 2002 and 2003, although these accident years are still immature.

     For healthcare liability classes, both the loss cost trend and the loss development factor assumptions are critical. The nature of the potential volatility would be analogous to that described above for the excess casualty business. However, AIG’s volume of business in the healthcare classes is much smaller than for excess casualty, hence the potential effect on AIG’s overall reserves is smaller for these classes than for excess casualty. AIG’s healthcare liability business includes both primary and excess exposures.

     For workers compensation, the loss development factor assumptions are important. Generally, AIG’s actual historical workers compensation loss development would be expected to provide a reasonably accurate predictor of future loss development. A five percent sensitivity indicator for workers compensation would thus be considered to be toward the high end of potential deviations for this class of business. AIG’s workers compensation reserves include a small portion relating to excess workers compensation coverage. The analysis applicable to excess casualty would apply to these reserves. However, the volume of such business is de minimis compared to the volume of excess casualty. The loss cost trend assumption for workers compensation is not believed to be material with respect to AIG’s loss reserves other than for that portion representing excess workers compensation. This is primarily because AIG’s actuaries are generally able to use loss development projections for all but the most recent accident year’s reserves, so there is limited need to rely on loss cost trend assumptions for workers compensation business.

     For casualty business other than the classes noted above, there is generally some potential for deviation in both the loss cost trend and loss development factor selections. However, the effect of such deviations would not be material when compared to the effect cited above for excess casualty and D&O.

     The comprehensive annual loss reserve review process results in an accumulation of point estimates for AIG’s General Insurance business. The loss reserve carried at year-end 2004 for AIG’s General Insurance business was approximately equal to the aggregate reserve indicated by the actuarial point estimates. This represents a relative improvement of approximately two percent from AIG’s position as of December 31, 2003. This comparison excludes the reserves relating to asbestos and environmental exposures, which are determined using different methodologies, as described below.

Asbestos and Environmental Reserves

The estimation of loss reserves relating to asbestos and environmental claims on insurance policies written many years ago is subject to greater uncertainty than other types of claims due to inconsistent court decisions as well as judicial interpretations and legislative actions that in some cases have tended to broaden coverage beyond the original intent of such policies and in others have expanded theories of liability. The insurance industry as a whole is engaged in extensive litigation over these coverage and liability issues and is thus confronted with a continuing uncertainty in its efforts to quantify these exposures.

     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, referred to collectively as environmental claims, and indemnity claims asserting injuries from asbestos.

     The vast majority of these asbestos and environmental claims emanate from policies written in 1984 and prior years. Commencing in 1985, standard policies contained an absolute exclusion for pollution related damage and an absolute asbestos exclusion was also implemented. However, AIG currently underwrites environmental impairment liability insurance on a claims-made basis and has excluded such claims from the analysis herein.

     The majority of AIG’s exposures for asbestos and 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.

     Estimation of asbestos and environmental claims loss reserves is a subjective process and reserves for asbestos and environmental claims cannot be estimated using conventional reserving techniques such as those that rely on historical accident year loss development factors.

     Significant factors which affect the trends that influence the asbestos and environmental claims estimation process are the inconsistent court resolutions and judicial interpretations which broaden the intent of the policies and scope of coverage. The current case law can be characterized as still evolving, and there is little likelihood that any firm direction will develop in the near future. Additionally, the exposures for cleanup costs of hazardous waste dump sites involve issues such as allocation of responsibility among potentially responsible parties and the government’s refusal to release parties.

     Due to this uncertainty, it is not possible to determine the future development of asbestos and environmental claims with the same degree of reliability as with other types of claims. Such future development will be affected 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 the changes in Superfund and waste dump site coverage issues. If the asbestos and environmental reserves develop deficiently, such deficiency would have an adverse effect on AIG’s future results of operations. AIG does not discount asbestos and environmental reserves.

     With respect to known asbestos and environmental claims, AIG established over a decade ago specialized toxic tort and environmental claims units, which investigate and adjust all such asbestos and environmental claims. These units evaluate these asbestos and environmental claims utilizing a claim-by-claim approach that involves a detailed review of individual policy terms and exposures. Because each policyholder presents different liability and coverage issues, AIG generally evaluates exposure on a policy-by-policy basis, considering a variety of factors such as known facts, current law, jurisdiction, policy language and other factors that are unique to each policy. Quantitative techniques have to be supplemented by subjective considerations including management judgment. Each claim is reviewed at least semi-annually utilizing the aforementioned approach and adjusted as necessary to reflect the current information.

     In both the specialized and dedicated asbestos and environmental claims units, AIG actively manages and pursues early settlement with respect to these claims in an attempt to mitigate its exposure to the unpredictable development of these claims. AIG attempts to mitigate its known long-tail environmental exposures by utilizing a combination of proactive claim-handling techniques including policy buybacks, complete environmental releases, compromise settlements, and, where indicated, litigation.

     With respect to asbestos claims handling, AIG’s specialized claims staff operates to mitigate losses through proactive handling, supervision and resolution of asbestos cases. Thus, while AIG has resolved all claims with respect to miners and major manufacturers (Tier One), its claims staff continues to operate under the same proactive philosophy to resolve claims involving accounts with products containing asbestos (Tier Two), products containing small amounts of asbestos, companies in the distribution process, and parties with remote, ill defined involvement in asbestos (Tiers Three and Four). Through its commitment to appropriate staffing, training, and management oversight of asbestos cases, AIG mitigates to the extent possible its exposure to these claims.

     In order to evaluate the overall reasonableness of the asbestos and environmental reserves established using the claim-by-claim approach as described above, AIG uses two methods, the market share method and the frequency/severity or report year method.

     The market share method produces indicated asbestos and environmental reserve needs by applying the appropriate AIG market share to estimated potential industry ultimate loss and loss expenses based on the latest estimates from A.M. Best and Tillinghast. The market share method is a series of tests. Six estimates of potential industry ultimate losses for asbestos and environmental claims are tested. Additionally, a second series of tests are performed, using estimated industry unpaid losses, instead of industry ultimate losses. The market share tests are also performed using estimates of AIG’s market share. The reason AIG’s market share is an estimate is that there are assumptions as to which years and classes of business the asbestos and environmental exposure applies. For example, commercial multiple peril business is included in the market share calculation in some, but not all, of the scenarios.

     AIG’s estimate of the carried net asbestos and environmental reserves were approximately $50 million greater than the mean indication of the outcomes of market share testing. However, the market share method does not give weight to AIG’s actual asbestos and environmental loss experience.

     The frequency/severity or report year approach, is also a series of tests which are performed separately for asbestos and for environmental exposures. For asbestos, these tests project the expected losses to be reported over the next twenty years, i.e. from 2005 through 2024, based on the actual losses reported through 2004 and the expected future loss emergence for these claims. Three scenarios are tested, with a series of assumptions ranging from more optimistic to more conservative. In the first scenario, all carried asbestos case reserves, as determined above using the claim-by-claim approach, are assumed to be within ten percent of their ultimate settlement value.

62

     The second scenario relies on an actuarial projection of report year developments for asbestos claims reported from 1993 to the present to estimate case reserve adequacy as of year-end 2004. The third scenario also relies on an actuarial projection of report year claims for asbestos, but reflects claims reported from 1989 to the present to estimate case reserve adequacy as of year-end 2004. As of year-end 2004, the results of the second and third scenarios varied significantly. In the second scenario, case reserves were indicated to be at slightly less than 60 percent of the ultimate settlement value at year-end 2004, whereas in the third scenario they were indicated to be at less than 25 percent of ultimate settlement value.

     Based on the results of the prior report years for each of the three scenarios described above, the report year approach then projects forward to the year 2024 the expected future report year losses, based on AIG’s estimate of reasonable loss trend assumptions.

     These calculations are performed on losses gross of reinsurance. The IBNR (including a provision for development of reported claims) on a net basis is based on applying a factor reflecting the expected ratio of net losses to gross losses for future loss emergence.

     For environmental claims, an analogous series of frequency/severity tests are produced. In general, the case reserve adequacy assumptions are narrower, as case reserve adequacy is indicated within approximately 25 percent of adequacy in all scenarios tested. Environmental claims from future report years (i.e. IBNR) are projected out ten years, i.e. through the year 2014.

     As of year-end 2004, the range of outcomes from the scenarios tested for environmental ranged from $20 million below AIG’s carried reserve to approximately $200 million greater than AIG’s carried reserve. The range of outcomes for asbestos was greater. The indication from the first scenario, as described above, was approximately $140 million below AIG’s carried reserve. The indication from the second scenario was approximately $10 million below AIG’s carried reserves. The indication from the third scenario was approximately $650 million greater than AIG’s carried reserve.

     At year-end 2004, AIG considered a number of factors and recent experience to determine the appropriate reserve that should be carried for these claims, including the following:

     1. Actual calendar experience for past ten years, five years, three years, and one year. AIG experienced consistent adverse development on its carried asbestos and environmental reserves over the years. The net carried reserves from ten years ago ran off $1.45 billion deficient; from five years ago $430 million deficient; from three years ago $350 million deficient; and from one year ago $150 million deficient. Thus the reserves consistently produced adverse development per year, with no evidence of recent improvement. These figures are prior to the year-end 2004 reserve increase.

     On a gross of reinsurance basis, the adverse developments were analogous, with approximately $450 million in the latest year and $4.8 billion over the past ten years.

     2. Input from claims officers on latest year events. DBG’s claims officers observed an increasing trend toward adverse claims experience in the layers underlying its excess attachment points for a number of Tier Two claims, increasing the probability of further adverse loss developments going forward. They also noted the emergence of several asbestos non-products cases recently, raising a concern that asbestos non-products cases could become a more serious problem in the future.

     3. Deterioration in Report Year claims experience. As noted above, the Scenario Two and Scenario Three indications for case reserve adequacy in AIG’s 2004 year-end actuarial report indicated an increasing deficiency in carried case reserves for asbestos. This was the result of continued adverse development on prior year case reserves and suggests future loss development will be at higher levels than previously indicated. As a result, the Scenario Three indicated reserve deficiency increased from approximately $480 million in the 2003 year-end reserve review to a deficiency of approximately $650 million in the year-end 2004 review. Furthermore, the year-end 2004 review utilized data evaluated as of June 30, 2004. An update to this data was produced (for all large claims) with claims evaluated as of March 31, 2005, i.e., an additional nine months of data beyond the year-end 2004 reserve study. This update showed that report year losses in the nine months from June 2004 to March 2005 produced additional adverse loss development. In fact, more loss development was observed during these nine months than for the twelve months from the June 2003 through June 2004 period. Thus, both the latest year’s data used in the year-end 2004 actuarial study and the nine months of additional data subsequent to that study indicated the experience was deteriorating beyond what was expected at year-end 2003.

     4. Survival Ratios. AIG’s year-end 2004 survival ratio for asbestos was 5.7 and 5.2 on a gross and a net basis, respectively, prior to the year-end 2004 reserve increase. AIG’s year-end 2004 survival ratio for environmental was 4.8 and 3.8 on a gross and a net basis, respectively, prior to the year-end 2004 reserve increase. These survival ratios indicated AIG’s carried reserves were sufficient to fund four to five years of payments for these claims, assuming payment levels remain stable. Based on the latest two years of actual paid losses, AIG did not expect its losses to decline as quickly as these ratios imply.

     5. Industry experience. The industry has experienced a significant wave of adverse development for asbestos since 2001, with little, if any, signs of recent improvement. Fur-

thermore, the litigation environment has become increasingly adverse.

     6. Reinsurance Recoverable. Although AIG has been successful in collecting the vast majority of its reinsurance on asbestos and environmental claims, the greater the future losses and the longer the exposure persists, the greater the likelihood of increased problems in collecting reinsurance. Thus, the continued adverse developments and lack of any signs that loss experience is beginning to diminish increases the risk of uncollectible reinsurance.

     After considering all of these factors, particularly its recent experience, AIG determined that its carried reserve for asbestos and environmental claims would be best estimated by scenario three described above. This resulted in a $650 million increase in net asbestos reserves, and a $200 million increase in net environmental reserves. The corresponding increases in gross reserves were $1.2 billion for asbestos and $250 million for environmental reserves.

Significant uncertainty remains as to AIG’s ultimate liability relating to asbestos and environmental claims. This uncertainty is due to several factors including:

•  The long latency period between asbestos exposure and disease manifestation and the resulting potential for involvement of multiple policy periods for individual claims;
 
•  The increase in the volume of claims by currently unimpaired plaintiffs;
 
•  Claims filed under the non-aggregate premises or operations section of general liability policies;
 
•  The number of insureds seeking bankruptcy protection and the effect of prepackaged bankruptcies;
 
•  Diverging legal interpretations;
 
•  With respect to environmental claims, the difficulty in estimating the allocation of remediation cost among various parties; and
 
•  The possibility of federal legislation that would address the asbestos and environmental issue.

A summary of reserve activity, including estimates for applicable IBNR, relating to asbestos and environmental claims separately and combined for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 was as follows:

The opened claims count increased substantially during the three months ended September 30, 2005 primarily because a court ruling led AIG to report separate opened claims for previously pending cases relating to alleged methyl tertiary-butyl ether exposures that AIG previously had counted in the aggregate as only a single claim on the assumption that the cases would be consolidated into a single federal court proceeding.

     The table below presents AIG’s survival ratios for asbestos and environmental claims at September 30, 2005 and 2004. The survival ratios for asbestos and environmental claims at September 30, 2004 were calculated without the effect of the change in estimate in the fourth quarter 2004. The survival ratio is derived by dividing the current carried loss reserve by the average payments for the three most recent calendar years for these claims. Therefore, the survival ratio is a simplistic measure estimating the number of years it would be before the current ending loss reserves for these claims would be paid off using recent year average payments. Many factors, such as aggressive settlement procedures, mix of business and level of coverage provided, have a significant effect on the amount of asbestos and environmental reserves and payments and the resultant survival ratio. Thus, caution should be exercised in attempting to determine reserve adequacy for these claims based simply on this survival ratio.

AIG’s survival ratios for asbestos and environmental claims, separately and combined were based upon a three-year average payment. These ratios at September 30, 2005 and 2004 were as follows:

     AIG’s Life Insurance & Retirement Services subsidiaries report their operations through the following operating units: Domestic Life — AIG American General, including American General Life Insurance Company (AG Life), USLIFE and AGLA; Domestic Retirement Services — VALIC, AIG Annuity and AIG SunAmerica; Foreign Life — ALICO, AIG Edison Life, AIG Star Life, AIA, Nan Shan and Philamlife.

Life Insurance & Retirement Services Results

The increase in operating income in the first nine months of 2005 when compared to the same period of 2004 was caused by strong growth overseas and improved realized capital gains including the effect of hedging activities that do not qualify for hedge accounting under FAS 133.

     Life Insurance & Retirement Services GAAP premiums grew in the first nine months of 2005 when compared with the same period in 2004. AIG’s Domestic Life operations had continued growth in term and universal life sales with good performance from the independent distribution channels. Payout annuities declined slightly due to the low interest rate environment and the competitive market conditions for structured settlement and single premium individual annuity business. The domestic group business is below AIG’s growth standards, largely because several accounts where pricing was unacceptable and loss experience was higher than anticipated were not renewed. Restructuring efforts in this business are focused on new product introductions, cross selling and other growth strategies. AGLA, the home service business, is diversifying product offerings, enhancing the capabilities and quality of the sales force and broadening the markets served beyond those historically serviced in an effort to accelerate growth.

     Domestic Retirement Services businesses faced a challenging environment in the first nine months of 2005, as deposits declined approximately 18 percent compared to the same period in 2004. The decrease in variable annuity product sales in 2005 compared to 2004 was largely attributable to a difficult equity market, heightened regulatory scrutiny of variable annuity sales, and more intense competition with regard to product features, such as living benefits. The 2005 conditions were magnified by negative press associated with AIG’s regulatory issues earlier in the year.

     AIG’s domestic fixed annuity business has been affected by a significant flattening of the treasury yield curve over the past several quarters, which has affected sales as yields on competing products, such as bank CDs, approach those available on AIG’s fixed annuities. There are some indications that negative press coverage of AIG earlier in the year has adversely affected surrenders and withdrawals of fixed annuities. In addition, surrenders have increased from prior year levels as annuities sold in 2000 can now be surrendered without charges, and as a result of the competitive interest rate environment. The combination of reduced sales and increased surrenders and withdrawals resulted in net flows 49 percent lower than the prior year. AIG expects that net flows will remain lower than in prior years as long as an environment of lackluster equity market performance persists and the yield curve remains flat.

     The majority of the growth in Life Insurance & Retirement Services GAAP premiums in the Foreign Life operations was attributable to the life insurance and personal accident & health lines of business. Globally, AIG’s deep and diverse distribution, which includes bancassurance, worksite marketing, direct marketing and a strong agency organization, provides a powerful platform for growth. This growth was most significant in Japan, where AIG has benefited from a flight to quality and the development of multiple distribution channels. In Southeast Asia, AIG maintains significant market share by offering an attractive and diverse product line, distributed by its strong agency force. There has been a continuing trend in Southeast Asia, as the insurance market continues to develop, for clients to purchase investment oriented products, at the expense of traditional term or whole life products. For GAAP reporting purposes, only revenues from policy charges for insurance, administration and surrender charges for these products during the period are reported as GAAP premiums. This product mix shift contributed to the single digit growth rate in Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services GAAP premiums.

     Also in Japan, AIG Edison Life has improved the quality and productivity of its sales force resulting in higher sales and improved new business persistency. AIG Star Life is growing first year premiums as a result of new product introductions and an expanded agency force, and is benefiting from more successful conservation of in-force business.

     The Foreign Retirement Services business continues its strong growth based upon its success in Japan and Korea by expanding its extensive distribution network and leveraging AIG’s product expertise. AIG is introducing annuity products in new markets. In January 2005, AIG Star Life entered into an agreement with the Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi, one of Japan’s largest banks, to market a multi-currency fixed annuity.

     Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services operations produced 78.3 percent and 78.0 percent of Life Insurance & Retirement Services GAAP premiums in the first nine months of 2005 and 2004, respectively.

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 Life Insurance & Retirement Services GAAP premiums:

     The growth in net investment income in the first nine months of 2005 parallels the growth in general account reserves and surplus for both Foreign and Domestic Life Insurance & Retirement Services companies. Also, net investment income was positively affected by the compounding of previously earned and reinvested net investment income along with the addition of new cash flow from operations available for investment. The global flattening of the yield curve put additional pressure on yields and spreads. This impact was partially offset with income generated from other investment sources, including income from partnerships. As of first quarter 2004, foreign separate accounts were transferred to the general account per Statement of Position 03-1 resulting in increased net investment income volatility. The positive effect of Statement of Position 03-1 on Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services net investment income was $663 million and $136 million for the first nine months of 2005 and 2004, respectively. These amounts do not affect operating income as they are offset in incurred policy benefits.

     AIG’s domestic subsidiaries invest in certain limited liability companies that invest in synthetic fuel production facilities as a means of generating income tax credits. Net investment income includes operating losses of approximately $115 million and $99 million, respectively, for the first nine months of 2005 and 2004 and income taxes includes tax credits and benefits of approximately $167 million and $133 million, respectively, for the first nine months of 2005 and 2004 from these investments. See also Note 7(k), “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities.”

     Life Insurance & Retirement Services operating income grew in the first nine months of 2005 due in part to the higher realized capital gains, including the effect of hedging activities that do not qualify for hedge accounting under FAS 133. Operating income for the AIG Domestic life insurance line of business is up slightly for the current year, due in part to growth in the business base and improved mortality results, offset by higher losses recorded in 2005 from limited partnership investments in synthetic fuel production facilities. Operating income for the home service line of business declined as a result of the continued decline in premiums in force and higher insurance and acquisition expenses, combined with an increase in property casualty losses related to hurricanes. The group retirement products business recorded a modest

67


Table of Contents

American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
growth in operating income due primarily to an increase in deposit based products. Net spread rates for the quarter were down slightly due primarily to decreases in the base investment yield. Individual fixed annuity results are higher than last year due in part to higher net spread, due to higher hedge fund partnership income and increased reserves, partially offset by lower investment income yield enhancements and higher acquisition costs this year. Individual variable annuity earnings are lower this year when compared to last year. Higher annuity fees and lower GMDB expenses were offset by higher acquisition costs.

     Foreign Life Insurance and Retirement Services operating income of $4.08 billion for the first nine months of 2005 included $110 million of realized capital gains, and for the first nine months of 2004, operating income of $3.20 billion included $124 million of realized capital losses. Underwriting and investment results before the effects of realized capital gains (losses) increased for all lines of business. On this basis, growth in the life insurance line of business is generally in line with growth in policy benefit reserves. This line benefited in part from lower amortization of acquisition costs for FAS 97 products, reflective of the increasing interest rate environment, particularly in Japan. In Southeast Asia, strong growth was primarily due to higher net investment income, but partially offset by higher incurred policy benefit expenses due to accruals for contributions to the par policyholder fund relating to excess ceded reinsurance premiums in Singapore. Growth in the personal accident & health line of business is generally in line with the growth in premiums and reflects stable profit margins. The group products business grew across all segments and maintained profit margins. The largest contributor to the growth in group products is the Pension profit center which enjoyed higher fee income emanating from higher assets under management in Brazil and Southeast Asia. Growth in individual fixed annuities, emanating primarily from Japan, is generally in line with the growth in reserves and net spread rates were maintained. The individual variable annuity line of business also grew in line with the growth in reserves and maintained net spreads.

     The contribution of Life Insurance & Retirement Services operating income to AIG’s consolidated income before income taxes, minority interest and cumulative effect of an accounting change amounted to 44.9 percent in the first nine months of 2005, compared to 45.2 percent in the same period of 2004.

Underwriting and Investment Risk

The risks associated with life and accident and health products are underwriting risk and investment risk. The risk associated with the financial and investment contract products is primarily 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. The emergence of significant adverse experience would require an adjustment to DAC and benefit reserves that could have a substantial effect on AIG’s results of operations.

     Natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes and other catastrophes have the potential to adversely affect AIG’s operating results. Other risks, such as an outbreak of a pandemic disease, such as the Avian Influenza A Virus (H5N1), could adversely affect AIG’s business and operating results to an extent that may be only partially offset by reinsurance programs.

     While to date the Avian Flu has struck mostly in Southeast Asia, upon mutation to a form that can be transmitted from human to human it has the potential to spread rapidly worldwide. If such an outbreak were to take place, early quarantine and vaccination could be critical to containment.

     Both the contagion and mortality rate of any mutated H5N1 virus that can be transmitted from human to human are highly speculative. AIG continues to monitor the developing facts. A significant global outbreak could have a material adverse effect on Life Insurance & Retirement Services operating results and liquidity from increased mortality and morbidity rates.

     AIG’s Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services companies generally limit their maximum underwriting exposure on life insurance of a single life to approximately $1.7 million of coverage. AIG’s Domestic Life Insurance & Retirement Services companies limit their maximum underwriting exposure on life insurance of a single life to $10 million of coverage in certain circumstances by using yearly renewable term reinsurance. See also the discussion under “Liquidity” herein.

     AIRCO acts primarily as an internal reinsurance company for AIG’s foreign life operations. This facilitates insurance risk management (retention, volatility, concentrations) and capital planning locally (branch and subsidiary). It also allows AIG to pool its insurance risks and purchase reinsurance more efficiently at a consolidated level and manage global counterparty risk and relationships.

     AIG’s domestic Life Insurance and Retirement Services operations utilize internal and third-party reinsurance relationships to manage insurance risks and to facilitate capital management strategies. Pools of highly-rated third-party reinsurers are utilized to manage net amounts at risk in excess of retention limits. AIG’s domestic life insurance companies also cede excess, non-economic reserves carried on a statutory-basis only on certain term and universal life insurance policies and certain fixed annuities to AIG Life of Bermuda Ltd., a wholly owned Bermuda reinsurer.

     AIG generally obtains letters of credit in order to obtain statutory recognition of these intercompany reinsurance transactions. For this purpose, AIG entered into a $2.5 billion syndicated letter of credit facility in December 2004. Letters

of credit totaling $2.17 billion were outstanding as of December 31, 2004, and all $2.5 billion were outstanding as of September 30, 2005. The letter of credit facility has a ten-year term, but the facility can be reduced or terminated by the lenders beginning after seven years.

     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. See also the discussion under “Liquidity” herein.

     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 assess whether there is a liquidity excess or deficit. If a necessary rebalancing of the invested assets to the policy and contract claims does not occur, a demand could be placed upon liquidity. See also the discussion under “Liquidity” herein.

     AIG actively manages the asset-liability relationship in its foreign operations, as it has been doing throughout AIG’s history, even though certain territories lack qualified long-term investments or certain local regulatory authorities may impose investment restrictions. For example, in several Southeast Asian countries, the duration of the investments is often for a shorter period than the effective maturity of the related policy liabilities. Therefore, there is a risk that the reinvestment of the proceeds at the maturity of the initial investments may be at a yield below that of the interest required for the accretion of the policy liabilities. Additionally, there exists a future investment risk associated with certain policies currently in force which will have premium receipts in the future. That is, the investment of these future premium receipts may be at a yield below that required to meet future policy liabilities.

     In the first nine months, new money investment yields increased in some markets and continued to decrease in others, leading to more frequent adjustments in new business premium rates, credited rates, and discontinuance of some products. In regard to the inforce business, to maintain an adequate yield to match the interest necessary to support future policy liabilities, management focus is required in both the investment and product management process. Business strategies continue to evolve to maintain profitability of the overall business. As such, in some countries, sales growth may slow for some product lines and accelerate for others.

     The investment of insurance cash flows and reinvestment of the proceeds of maturity securities requires active management of investment yields while maintaining satisfactory investment quality and liquidity. Certain foreign jurisdictions have limited long-dated bond markets and AIG may use alternative investments, including equities, real estate, and foreign currency denominated fixed income instruments to extend the duration while increasing the yield of the investment portfolio to more closely match the requirements of policyholder liabilities and DAC recoverability.

     This strategy has been effectively used in Japan and more recently by Nan Shan. Foreign assets comprised approximately 33 percent of Nan Shan’s invested assets at September 30, 2005, slightly below the maximum allowable percentage under current regulation. In response to continued declining interest rates and the strengthening of the NT dollar through June 2005, Nan Shan is emphasizing new products with lower implied guarantees, including participating endowments and variable universal life. Although the risks of a continued low interest rate environment coupled with a volatile NT dollar could increase net liabilities and require additional capital to maintain adequate local solvency margins, Nan Shan currently believes it has adequate resources to meet all future policy obligations.

     AIG actively manages the asset-liability relationship in its domestic operations. This relationship is more easily managed through the ample supply of qualified long-term investments.

     AIG uses asset-liability matching as a management tool worldwide to determine the composition of the invested assets and appropriate 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. In addition, the absence of long-dated fixed income instruments in certain markets may preclude a matched asset-liability position in those markets.

     A number of guaranteed benefits, such as living benefits or guaranteed minimum death benefits, are offered on certain variable life and variable annuity products. AIG manages its exposure resulting from these long-term guarantees through reinsurance or capital market hedging instruments.

     DAC for Life Insurance & Retirement Services products arises from the deferral of those costs that vary with, and are directly related to, the acquisition of new or renewal business. Policy acquisition costs for life insurance products are generally deferred and amortized over the premium paying period of the policy. Policy acquisition costs which relate to universal life and investment-type products, including variable and fixed annuities (investment-oriented products) are deferred and amortized, with interest, as appropriate, in relation to the historical and future incidence of estimated gross profits to be realized over the estimated lives of the contracts. With respect to universal life and investment-oriented products, AIG’s policy, as appropriate, has been to adjust amortization assumptions for DAC when estimates of current or future gross profits to be realized from these contracts are revised. With respect to variable annuities sold domestically (representing the vast majority of AIG’s variable annuity business), the assumption for the long-term annual net growth rate of the equity markets used in the determination of DAC amortization is approximately ten percent. A methodology referred to as “reversion to the mean” is used to maintain this long-term net growth rate assumption, while giving consideration to short-term variations in equity markets. Estimated

gross profits include investment income and gains and losses on investments less interest required as well as other charges in the contract less actual mortality and expenses. Current experience and changes in the expected future gross profits are analyzed to determine the effect on the amortization of DAC. The estimation of projected gross profits requires significant management judgment. The elements with respect to the current and projected gross profits are reviewed and analyzed quarterly and are adjusted appropriately.

     AIG’s variable annuity earnings will be affected by changes in market returns because separate account revenues, primarily composed of mortality and expense charges and asset management fees, are a function of asset values.

     DAC for both insurance-oriented and investment-oriented products as well as retirement services products are reviewed for recoverability, which involve estimating the future profitability of current business. This review also involves significant management judgment. If the actual emergence of future profitability were to be substantially different than that estimated, AIG’s results of operations could be significantly affected in future periods.

Insurance and Asset Management Invested Assets

AIG’s investment strategy is to invest primarily in high quality securities while maintaining diversification to avoid significant exposure to issuer, industry and/or country concentrations. With respect to General Insurance, AIG’s strategy is to invest in longer duration fixed maturity investments to maximize the yields at the date of purchase. With respect to Life Insurance & Retirement Services, AIG’s strategy is to produce cash flows required to meet maturing insurance liabilities. See also the discussion under “Operating Review: Life Insurance & Retirement Services Operations” herein. AIG invests in equities for various reasons, including diversifying its overall exposure to interest rate risk. Available for sale bonds and equity securities are subject to changes in fair value. Such changes in fair value are presented in unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments, net of taxes as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Generally, insurance regulations restrict the types of assets in which an insurance company may invest. When permitted by regulatory authorities and when deemed necessary to protect insurance assets, including invested assets, from adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices, AIG and its insurance subsidiaries may enter into derivative transactions as end users. See also the discussion under “Derivatives” herein.

     In certain jurisdictions, significant regulatory and/or foreign governmental barriers exist which may not permit the immediate free flow of funds between insurance subsidiaries or from the insurance subsidiaries to AIG parent.

Credit Quality

At September 30, 2005, approximately 60 percent of the fixed maturities investments were domestic securities. Approximately 35 percent of such domestic securities were rated AAA by one or more of the principal rating agencies. Approximately six percent were below investment grade or not rated.

     A significant portion of the foreign fixed income portfolio is rated by Moody’s, S&P or similar foreign services. Similar credit quality rating services are not available in all overseas locations. AIG reviews the credit quality of the foreign portfolio nonrated fixed income investments, including mortgages. At September 30, 2005, approximately 19 percent of the foreign fixed income investments were either rated AAA or, on the basis of AIG’s internal analysis, were equivalent from a credit standpoint to securities so rated. Approximately four percent were below investment grade or not rated at that date. A large portion of the foreign fixed income portfolio are sovereign fixed maturity securities supporting the policy liabilities in the country of issuance.

     Any fixed income security may be subject to downgrade for a variety of reasons subsequent to any balance sheet date.

Valuation of Invested Assets

AIG has the ability to hold any fixed maturity security to its stated maturity, including those fixed maturity securities classified as available for sale. Therefore, the decision to sell any such fixed maturity security classified as available for sale reflects the judgment of AIG’s management that the security sold is unlikely to provide, on a relative value basis, as attractive a return in the future as alternative securities entailing comparable risks. With respect to distressed securities, the sale decision reflects management’s judgment that the risk-discounted anticipated ultimate recovery is less than the value achievable on sale.

     The valuation of invested assets involves obtaining a market value for each security. The source for the market value is generally from market exchanges or dealer quotations, with the exception of nontraded securities.

     If AIG chooses to hold a security, it evaluates the security for an other-than-temporary impairment in valuation. As a matter of policy, the determination that a security has incurred an other-than-temporary decline in value and the amount of any loss recognition requires the judgment of AIG’s management and a continual review of its investments.

     In general, a security is considered a candidate for other-than-temporary impairment if it meets any of the following criteria:

Trading at a significant (25 percent or more) discount to par, amortized cost (if lower) or cost for an extended period of time (nine months or longer);
 
The occurrence of a discrete credit event resulting in (i) the issuer defaulting on a material outstanding obligation; or (ii) the issuer seeking protection from creditors under the bankruptcy laws or any similar laws intended for the court supervised reorganization of insolvent enterprises; or (iii) the issuer proposing a voluntary reorganization pursuant to which creditors are asked to exchange their claims for cash or securities having a fair value substantially lower than par value of their claims; or
 
In the opinion of AIG’s management, it is possible that AIG may not realize a full recovery on its investment, irrespective of the occurrence of one of the foregoing events.

     Once a security has been identified as other-than-temporarily impaired, the amount of such impairment is determined by reference to that security’s contemporaneous market price and recorded as a charge to earnings.

     As a result of these policies, AIG recorded other-than-temporary impairment losses, net of taxes, of $253 million and $310 million in the first nine months of 2005 and 2004, respectively.

     No impairment charge with respect to any one single credit was significant to AIG’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations, and no individual impairment loss exceeded 1.0 percent of consolidated net income for the first nine months of 2005.

     Excluding the other-than-temporary impairments noted above, the changes in market value for AIG’s available for sale portfolio, which constitutes the vast majority of AIG’s investments, were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income as unrealized gains or losses, net of tax.

     At September 30, 2005, the fair value of AIG’s fixed maturities and equity securities aggregated to $410.9 billion. At September 30, 2005, aggregate unrealized gains after taxes for fixed maturity and equity securities were $12.3 billion. At September 30, 2005, the aggregate unrealized losses after taxes of fixed maturity and equity securities were approximately $1.48 billion.

     The effect on net income of unrealized losses after taxes will be further mitigated upon realization, because certain realized losses will be charged to participating policyholder accounts, or realization will result in current decreases in the amortization of certain deferred policy acquisition costs.

At September 30, 2005, unrealized losses for fixed maturity securities and equity securities did not reflect any significant industry concentrations.

The amortized cost of fixed maturities available for sale in an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2005, by contractual maturity, is shown below:

Total

     In the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the pretax realized losses incurred with respect to the sale of fixed maturities and equity securities were $1.14 billion. The aggregate fair value of securities sold was $44.2 billion, which was approximately 97 percent of amortized cost. The average period of time that securities sold at a loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were trading continuously at a price below book value was approximately three months.

At September 30, 2005, aggregate pretax unrealized gains were $18.9 billion, while the pretax unrealized losses with respect to investment grade bonds, below investment grade bonds and equity securities were $1.56 billion, $477 million and $236 million, respectively. Aging of the pretax unrealized losses with respect to these securities, distributed as a percentage of cost relative to unrealized loss (the extent by which the market value is less than amortized cost or cost), including the number of respective items, was as follows:

     As stated previously, the valuation for AIG’s investment portfolio comes from market exchanges or dealer quotations, with the exception of nontraded securities. AIG considers nontraded securities to mean certain fixed income investments, certain structured securities, direct private equities, limited partnerships and hedge funds. The aggregate carrying value of these securities at September 30, 2005 was approximately $55 billion.

     The methodology used to estimate fair value of nontraded fixed income investments is by reference to traded securities with similar attributes and using a matrix pricing methodology. This technique takes into account such factors as the industry, the security’s rating and tenor, its coupon rate, its position in the capital structure of the issuer, and other relevant factors. The change in fair value is recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax.

     For certain structured securities, the carrying value is based on an estimate of the security’s future cash flows pursuant to the requirements of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 99-20, “Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased and Retained Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets.” The change in carrying value is recognized in income.

     Hedge funds and limited partnerships in which AIG holds in the aggregate less than a five percent interest are carried at fair value. The change in fair value is recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax.

     With respect to hedge funds and limited partnerships in which AIG holds in the aggregate a five percent or greater interest, AIG uses the equity method to record these investments.

     AIG obtains the fair value of its investments in limited partnerships and hedge funds from information provided by the general partner or manager of each of these investments, the accounts of which are generally audited on an annual basis.

     Each of these investment categories is regularly tested to determine if impairment in value exists. Various valuation techniques are used with respect to each category in this determination.

Financial Services Operations

AIG’s Financial Services subsidiaries engage in diversified activities including aircraft and equipment leasing, capital markets transactions, consumer finance and insurance premium financing. See also Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Aircraft Finance

AIG’s Aircraft Finance operations represent the operations of ILFC, which generates its revenues primarily from leasing new and used commercial jet aircraft to domestic and foreign airlines. Revenues also result from the remarketing of commercial jets for its own account, for airlines and for financial institutions.

     ILFC finances its purchases of aircraft primarily through the issuance of a variety of debt instruments. The composite borrowing rates at the end of the first nine months of 2005 and 2004 were 4.73 percent and 4.20 percent, respectively. See also the discussions under “Capital Resources” and “Liquidity” herein and Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

     ILFC’s sources of revenue are principally from scheduled and charter airlines and companies associated with the airline industry. The airline industry is cyclical, economically sensitive and highly competitive. Airlines and related companies may be affected by political or economic instability, terrorist activities, changes in national policy, competitive pressures on certain air carriers, fuel prices and shortages, labor stoppages, insurance costs, recessions, and other political or economic events adversely affecting world or regional trading markets. ILFC’s revenues and income will be affected by its customers’ ability to react and cope with the volatile competitive environment in which they operate, as well as ILFC’s own competitive environment.

     ILFC is exposed to operating loss and liquidity strain through nonperformance of aircraft lessees, through owning aircraft which it would be unable to sell or re-lease at acceptable rates at lease expiration and, in part, through committing to purchase aircraft which it would be unable to lease.

     ILFC manages the risk of nonperformance by its lessees with security deposit requirements, through repossession rights, overhaul requirements, and closely monitoring industry conditions through its marketing force. However, there can be no assurance that ILFC would be able to successfully manage the risks relating to the effect of possible future deterioration in the airline industry. Approximately 90% of ILFC’s fleet is leased to non-U.S. carriers, and this fleet, comprised of the most efficient aircraft in the airline industry, continues to be in high demand from such carriers.

     ILFC typically contracts to re-lease aircraft before the end of the existing lease term. For aircraft returned before the end of the lease term, ILFC has generally been able to re-lease such aircraft within two to six months of its return. As a lessor, ILFC considers an aircraft “idle” or “off lease” when the aircraft is not subject to a signed lease agreement or signed letter of intent. ILFC had no aircraft off lease at September 30, 2005. See also the discussions under “Capital Resources” and “Liquidity” herein.

     ILFC sold a portfolio consisting of 34 aircraft in 2004 to a trust connected to a securitization transaction. Certain of AIG’s Life Insurance & Retirement Services businesses purchased a large share of the securities issued in connection with this securitization, which included both debt and equity securities.

     Management formally reviews regularly, and no less frequently than quarterly, issues affecting ILFC’s fleet, including events and circumstances that may cause impairment of aircraft values. Management evaluates aircraft in the fleet as necessary, based on these events and circumstances in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (FAS 144). ILFC has not recognized any impairment related to its fleet, as the existing service potential of the aircraft in ILFC’s portfolio has not been diminished. Further, ILFC has been able to re-lease the aircraft without diminution in lease rates to an extent that would require an impairment write-down. See also the discussions under “Liquidity” herein.

Capital Markets

AIG’s Capital Markets operations represents the integrated operations of AIGFP and AIGTG. As Capital Markets is a transaction-oriented operation, current and past revenues and operating results may not provide a basis for predicting future performance. Also, AIG’s Capital Markets operations may be adversely affected by the downgrades in AIG’s credit ratings. See “Outlook”, for a further discussion of the potential effect of the rating downgrades on AIG’s Capital Markets businesses herein.

     AIG’s Capital Markets operations derive substantially all their revenues from proprietary positions entered in connection with counterparty transactions rather than from speculative transactions. These subsidiaries participate in the derivatives dealer market conducting, primarily as principal, an interest rate, currency, equity, commodity and credit products business.

     As a dealer, AIGFP marks all derivative and trading transactions to fair value daily. Thus, a gain or loss on each transaction is recognized daily. Under GAAP, in certain instances, gains and losses are required to be recorded in earnings immediately, whereas in other instances, they are required to be recognized over the life of the underlying instruments. AIGFP economically hedges the market risks arising from its transactions. However, for GAAP financial statements, hedge accounting, as described in FAS 133, is not currently being applied to any of the derivatives and related assets and liabilities. Accordingly, revenues and operating income are exposed to volatility resulting from differences in the timing of revenue recognition between the derivatives and the hedged assets and liabilities. Revenues of the Capital Markets operations and the percentage change in revenues for any given period are significantly affected by the number and size of transactions entered into by these subsidiaries during that period relative to those entered into during the prior period as well as the volatility noted above for the accounting under FAS 133. Operating income and the percentage change in operating income for any period are determined by the number, size and profitability of the transactions attributable to that period relative to those attributable to the prior period as well as the volatility noted above for the accounting under FAS 133. Generally, the realization of trading revenues as measured by the receipt of funds is not a significant reporting event as the gain or loss on AIGFP’s trading transactions are currently reflected in operating income as the fair values change from period to period.

     Derivative transactions are entered into in the ordinary course of Capital Markets operations. Therefore, income on interest rate, currency, equity, commodity and credit derivatives along with their related hedges is recorded at fair value, determined by references to the mark to market value of the derivative or their estimated fair value where market prices are not readily available. The resulting aggregate unrealized gains or losses from the derivative is reflected in the income statement in the current year. In the first nine months of 2005, less than five percent of revenues resulted from transactions valued at estimated fair value. Where Capital Markets cannot verify significant model inputs to observable market data and verify the model value to market transactions, Capital Markets values the contract at the transaction price at inception and, consequently, records no initial gain or loss in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 02-3, “Issues Involved in Accounting for Derivative Contracts Held for Trading Purposes and Contracts Involved in Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities” (EITF 02-3). Such initial gain or loss is amortized into income over the life of the transaction. Capital Markets periodically reevaluates its revenue recognition under EITF 02-3 based on the observability of market parameters. The mark to fair value of derivative transactions is reflected in the balance sheet in the captions “Unrealized gain on swaps, options and forward transactions” and “Unrealized loss on swaps, options and forward transactions.” Unrealized gains represent the present value of the aggregate of each net receivable by counterparty, and the unrealized losses represent the present value of the aggregate of each net payable by counterparty as of September 30, 2005. These amounts will change from one period to the next due to changes in interest rates, currency rates, equity and commodity prices and other market variables, as well as cash movements, execution of new transactions and the maturing of existing transactions. See also the discussion under “Derivatives” herein.

     Spread income on investments and borrowings is recorded on an accrual basis over the life of the transaction. Investments are classified as securities available for sale and are marked to market with the resulting unrealized gains or losses reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income. U.S. dollar denominated borrowings are carried at cost, while borrowings in any currency other than the U.S. dollar result

in unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses reported in income. AIGFP hedges the economic exposure on its investments and borrowings through its derivatives portfolio. The requirements under FAS 133 hedge accounting were not met for these hedge transactions for the period ended September 30, 2005. Thus, these hedges are marked to fair value with the unrealized gains or losses reported in income.

Consumer Finance

Domestically, AIG’s Consumer Finance operations derive a substantial portion of their revenues from finance charges assessed on outstanding mortgages, home equity loans, secured and unsecured consumer loans and retail merchant financing. Credit quality continues to be strong and receivables grew substantially. Overseas operations, particularly those in emerging markets, provide credit cards, personal and auto loans, term deposits, savings accounts, sales finance and mortgages.

     Consumer Finance operations are exposed to loss when contractual payments are not received. Credit loss exposure is managed through tight underwriting controls, mix of loans, collateral, and collection efficiency.

Financial Services operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 were as follows:

(a) Includes the effect of hedging activities that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under FAS 133, including the related foreign exchange gains and losses. For the first nine months of 2005 and 2004, the effect was $(59) million and $(31) million, respectively, in operating income for Aircraft Finance and $1.75 billion and $730 million, respectively, in revenues and operating income for Capital Markets.
(b) Revenues are primarily from ILFC aircraft lease rentals.
(c) Revenues, shown net of interest expense, are primarily from hedged proprietary positions entered into in connection with counterparty transactions and the effect of hedging activities that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under FAS 133 described in (a) above.
(d) Certain transactions entered into by AIGFP generate tax credits and benefits which are included in income taxes on the consolidated statement of income. The amount of tax credits and benefits for the first nine months of 2005 and 2004 are $63 million, and $88 million, respectively.
(e) Revenues are primarily finance charges.
(f) Includes $62 million of catastrophe related losses for the first nine months of 2005.

Financial Services Results

Financial Services operating income increased in the first nine months of 2005 compared to the same period of 2004. 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 hedging activities that do not qualify for hedge accounting under FAS 133.

     To the extent the Financial Services subsidiaries, other than AIGFP, use derivatives to economically hedge their assets or liabilities with respect to their future cash flows, and such hedges do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under FAS 133, the changes in fair value of such derivatives are recorded in realized capital gains (losses) or other revenues.

     Financial market conditions in the first nine months of 2005 compared with the same period of 2004 were characterized by a general flattening of interest rate curves across fixed income markets globally, some tightening of credit spreads, and equity valuations that were slightly higher. AIGFP experienced improved transaction flow in its credit, commodities and energy products with results reflecting a more favorable customer sentiment during the third quarter of 2005 than earlier in the year.

     The most significant component of Capital Markets operating expenses is compensation, which was approximately $359 million and $396 million in the first nine months of 2005 and 2004, respectively. The amount of compensation was not affected by gains and losses not qualifying for hedge accounting treatment under FAS 133.

     ILFC continued to see net improvements in lease rates, an increase in demand for the newer, modern, fuel efficient aircraft comprising the bulk of ILFC’s fleet, and an increasing level of interest from traditional buyers, third-party investors and debt providers for the purchase of aircraft from ILFC’s extensive lease portfolio. These positive factors were offset by a $15 million charge related to receivables from restructured leases and increased borrowing costs.

     Consumer Finance operations, both domestically and internationally, did very well with increased revenues and operating income.

     The increase in Consumer Finance revenues in 2005 was the result of growth in average finance receivables. Credit quality of those receivables continues to be strong. Foreign Consumer Finance operations performed well as the operations in Poland continued its strong growth and the Hong Kong credit card business benefited from the strengthening local economy and improved portfolio credit quality. The increase in operating income resulting from domestic operations was partially offset by $62 million in catastrophe related losses.

     Financial Services operating income represented 23.0 percent of AIG’s consolidated income before income taxes, minority interest and cumulative effect of an accounting change in the first nine months of 2005. This compares to 18.9 percent in the first nine months of 2004.

     As previously discussed, the cash used for the purchase of flight equipment is derived primarily from the proceeds of ILFC’s debt financings. The primary sources for the repayment of this debt and the interest expense thereon are the cash flow from operations, proceeds from the sale of flight equipment and the rollover and refinancing of the prior debt. During the first nine months of 2005, ILFC acquired flight equipment costing $5.48 billion. See also the discussion under “Operating Review: Financial Services Operations” and “Capital Resources” herein.

     AIG’s Consumer Finance operations provide a wide variety of consumer finance products both domestically and overseas. Such products include real estate mortgages, credit cards, consumer loans, and retail sales finance. These products are funded through a combination of deposits and various borrowings including commercial paper and medium term notes. AIG’s Consumer Finance operations are exposed to credit risk and risk of loss resulting from adverse fluctuations in interest rates. Over half of the loan balance is related to real estate loans which are substantially collateralized by the related properties.

     With respect to credit losses, the allowance for finance receivable losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to absorb anticipated credit losses existing in that portfolio.

     Capital Markets derivative transactions are carried at market value or at estimated fair value when market prices are not readily available. AIGFP reduces its economic risk exposure through similarly valued offsetting transactions including swaps, trading securities, options, forwards and futures. The estimated fair values of these transactions represent assessments of the present value of expected future cash flows. These transactions are exposed to liquidity risk if AIGFP were required to sell or close out the transactions prior to maturity. AIG believes that the effect of any such event would not be significant to AIG’s financial condition or its overall liquidity. See also the discussion under “Operating Review: Financial Services Operations” and “Derivatives” herein.

     AIGFP uses the proceeds from the issuance of notes and bonds and GIA borrowings to invest in a diversified portfolio of securities, including securities available for sale, at market, and derivative transactions. The funds may also be temporarily invested in securities purchased under agreements to resell. The proceeds from the disposal of the aforementioned securities available for sale and securities purchased under agreements to resell have been used to fund the maturing GIAs or other AIGFP financings, or invest in new assets. See also the discussion under “Capital Resources” herein.

     Securities available for sale is predominantly a portfolio of fixed income securities, where the individual securities have varying degrees of credit risk. At September 30, 2005, the average credit rating of this portfolio was AA+ or the equivalent thereto as determined through rating agencies or internal review. AIGFP has also entered into credit derivative transactions to economically hedge its credit risk associated with $125 million of these securities. Securities deemed below investment grade at September 30, 2005, amounted to approximately $83 million in fair value representing 0.3 percent of the total AIGFP securities available for sale. There have been no significant downgrades through September 30, 2005. If its securities available for sale portfolio were to suffer significant default and the collateral held declined significantly in value with no replacement or the credit default swap counterparty failed to perform, AIGFP could have a liquidity strain. AIG guarantees AIGFP’s payment obligations, including its debt obligations.

     AIGFP’s risk management objective is to minimize interest rate, currency, commodity and equity risks associated with its securities available for sale. That is, when AIGFP purchases a security for its securities available for sale investment portfolio, it simultaneously enters into an offsetting internal hedge such that the payment terms of the hedging transaction offset the payment terms of the investment security, which achieves the economic result of converting the return on the underlying security to US dollar LIBOR plus or minus a spread based on the underlying profit on each secur-

ity on the initial trade date. The market risk associated with such internal hedges is managed on a portfolio basis, with third party hedging transactions executed as necessary. As hedge accounting treatment is not achieved in accordance with FAS 133, the unrealized gains and losses on the securities related economic hedges are reflected in operating income, where as the unrealized gains and losses on the underlying securities resulting from changes in interest rates, currency rates, commodity and equity prices, are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. When a security is sold, the related hedging transaction is terminated, and the realized gain or loss with respect to this security is then recorded in operating income.

     Securities purchased under agreements to resell are treated as collateralized financing transactions. AIGFP takes possession of or obtains a security interest in securities purchased under agreements to resell. AIGFP further minimizes its credit risk by monitoring counterparty credit exposure and, when it deems necessary, it requires additional collateral to be deposited.

     AIGFP also conducts, as principal, market making and trading activities in foreign exchange, and commodities, primarily precious metals. AIGFP owns inventories in the commodities in which it trades and may reduce the exposure to market risk through the use of swaps, forwards, futures and option contracts. AIGFP uses derivatives to manage the economic exposure of its various trading positions and transactions from adverse movements of interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. AIGFP supports its trading activities largely through trading liabilities, unrealized losses on swaps, short-term borrowings, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and securities and commodities sold but not yet purchased. See also the discussions under “Capital Resources.”

     Trading securities, at market value, and securities and spot commodities sold but not yet purchased, at market value are marked to market daily with the unrealized gain or loss being recognized in income at that time. These trading securities are held to meet the short-term risk management objectives of Capital Markets operations.

The gross unrealized gains and gross unrealized losses of Capital Markets included in the financial services assets and liabilities at September 30, 2005 were as follows:

                 
Gross Gross
Unrealized Unrealized
(in millions) Gains Losses

Securities available for sale, at market value
  $ 3,606     $ 3,200  
Unrealized gain/loss on swaps, options and forward transactions*
    20,427       15,721  

These amounts are also presented as the respective balance sheet amounts.

     The senior management of AIG defines the policies and establishes general operating parameters for Capital Markets operations. AIG’s senior management has established various oversight committees to review the various financial market, operational and credit issues of the Capital Markets operations. The senior management of AIGFP reports the results of its operations to and reviews future strategies with AIG’s senior management.

     AIG actively manages the exposures to limit potential losses, while maximizing the rewards afforded by these business opportunities. In doing so, AIG must continually manage a variety of exposures including credit, market, liquidity, operational and legal risks.

     AIGFP held a large portfolio of privately negotiated financing transactions with institutional counterparties in the United Kingdom. Certain provisions in the UK Finance Bill that was published by the House of Commons on March 22, 2005 have caused AIGFP’s counterparties to exercise early unwind rights and terminate these transactions during the past quarter. Although the unwinding of these transactions did not cause AIGFP to suffer any losses, the unwinds do mean that AIGFP will not realize spread income that AIGFP expects it would have realized had the transactions remained outstanding. The aggregate reduction in 2005 operating income attributable to such foregone accrual earnings is currently expected to be approximately $75 million.

Asset Management Operations

AIG’s Asset Management operations comprise a wide variety of investment-related services and investment products including institutional and retail asset management, broker dealer services and spread-based investment business from the sale of guaranteed investment contracts, also known as funding agreements (GICs). Such services and products are offered to individuals and institutions both domestically and overseas.

     As discussed above, AIG Retirement Services operations are now reported with Life Insurance operations. Therefore, Asset Management operations now represent the results of AIG’s asset management and brokerage services operations, mutual fund operations and the foreign and domestic GIC operations.

(a) The effect of hedging activities that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under FAS 133 was $127 million and $241 million for the first nine months of 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $18 million and $90 million for the third quarter of 2005 and 2004, respectively.
(b) Includes the results of certain AIG managed private equity and real estate funds that are consolidated effective December 31, 2003 pursuant to FIN46R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”. For the first nine months of 2005 and 2004, operating income includes $189 million and $147 million of third-party limited partner earnings offset as an expense in Minority interest.

Asset Management Results

Asset Management operating income increased in the first nine months of 2005 compared to the same period of 2004 as a result of a strong global product portfolio. The operating income growth results from fees related to the management of mutual funds and various investment portfolios that are in great part contingent upon the growth in the equity markets and customer interest in equity sensitive products. Thus, as equity markets expand and contract, the appetite for listed and private equity investment changes. The revenues and operating income with respect to this segment are similarly affected. GICs are sold domestically and abroad to both institutions and individuals. These products are written on an opportunistic basis when market conditions are favorable. A significant portion of the GIC portfolio consists of floating rate obligations. AIG has entered into hedges to manage against increases in short-term interest rates. AIG continues to believe these hedges are economically effective but do not qualify for hedge accounting under FAS 133. GIC revenues include income from SunAmerica partnerships supporting the GIC line of business and are significantly affected by performance in the equity markets. Thus, revenues, operating income and cash flow attributable to GICs will vary from one reporting period to the next. The decline in GIC operating income compared to the first nine months of 2004 reflects tighter spreads in the GIC portfolio, partially offset by improved partnership returns. Spread compression has occurred as the base portfolio yield declined due to declining interest rates and the effect of recognizing capital gains in prior periods, and also due to an increase in the cost of funds in the short-term floating rate portion of the GIC portfolio, only partially offset by increased investment income from the floating rate assets backing the portfolio. In September 2005, AIG launched a $10 billion matched investment program in the Euromarkets under which AIG debt securities will be issued. AIG also expects to launch a matched investment program in the domestic market which, along with the Euro program, will become AIG’s principal spread-based investment activity. However, in light of recent developments, the timing of the launch of the domestic program is uncertain. Because AIG’s credit spreads in the capital markets have widened following the ratings declines, there may be a reduction in the earnings on new business in AIG’s institutional spread based funding business.

     Asset Management operating income represented 11.1 percent of AIG’s consolidated income before income taxes, minority interest and cumulative effect of an accounting change in the first nine months of 2005. This compares to 11.9 percent in the same period of 2004.

     At September 30, 2005, AIG’s third party assets under management, including both retail mutual funds and institutional accounts, was approximately $59 billion and the aggregate GIC reserve was $49.7 billion.

Other Operations

Other income (deductions)-net includes AIG’s equity in certain partially owned companies, the cash distributions on the liabilities connected to trust preferred stock, as well as the income and expenses of the parent holding company and other miscellaneous income and expenses. Other income (deductions)-net amounted to $(329) million and $(495) million in the first nine months of 2005 and 2004, respectively. AIG’s equity in certain partially owned companies includes $246 million and $74 million in catastrophe related losses in the first nine months of 2005 and 2004, respectively.

     Other realized capital gains (losses) amounted to $(32) million and $19 million for the first nine months of 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Capital Resources

At September 30, 2005, AIG had total consolidated shareholders’ equity of $89.28 billion and total consolidated borrowings of $104.82 billion. At that date, $93.71 billion of such borrowings were either not guaranteed by AIG or were matched borrowings under obligations of guaranteed investment agreements (GIAs), liabilities connected to trust preferred stock, or matched notes and bonds payable.

     For a description of the effects on AIG’s capital resources, including the cost of borrowing, of recent downgrades and rating actions by the major rating agencies, see the discussion under “Outlook” herein.

     During the first nine months of 2005, AIG did not issue any medium term notes and $55 million of previously issued notes matured.

     On September 30, 2005, AIG sold $1.5 billion principal amount of notes in a Rule 144A/Regulation S offering, $500 million of which bear interest at a rate of 4.700 percent per annum and mature in 2010 and $1.0 billion of which bear interest at a rate of 5.050 percent per annum and mature in 2015. The notes are senior unsecured obligations of AIG and rank equally with all of AIG’s other senior debt outstanding. AIG has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to consummate an exchange offer for the notes pursuant to an effective registration statement within 360 days of the date on which the notes were issued.

     AIG intends to continue its customary practice of issuing debt securities from time to time to meet its financing needs and those of certain of its subsidiaries for general corporate purposes, as well as for a matched investment program.

     In September 2005, AIG entered into loan agreements with third-party banks and borrowed a total of $600 million under the loan agreements on an unsecured basis, $500 million of which matures in August 2006 but can be extended by AIG for an additional seven-month period and $100 million of which matures in September 2006.

     AIGFP uses the proceeds from the issuance of notes and bonds and GIA borrowings to invest in a diversified portfolio of securities and derivative transactions. The borrowings may also be temporarily invested in securities purchased under agreements to resell. AIG guarantees the obligations of AIGFP under AIGFP’s notes and bonds and GIA borrowings.

     AIGFP has a Euro Medium Term Note Program under which an aggregate nominal amount of up to $10.0 billion of notes may be outstanding at any one time. The Program provides that additional notes may be issued to replace matured or redeemed notes. As of September 30, 2005, $8.53 billion of notes had been issued under the program, $3.54 billion of which were outstanding, including $79 million resulting from foreign exchange translation into U.S. dollars. Notes issued under this program are included in Notes and Bonds Payable in the preceding table of borrowings.

     AIG Funding, Inc. (AIG Funding), through the issuance of commercial paper, helps fulfill the short-term cash requirements of AIG and its subsidiaries. AIG Funding intends to continue to meet AIG’s funding requirements through the issuance of commercial paper guaranteed by AIG. The issuance of AIG Funding’s commercial paper is subject to the approval of AIG’s Board of Directors.

     AIG and AIG Funding are parties to unsecured syndicated revolving credit facilities aggregating $2.75 billion, consisting of $1.375 billion in a 364-day revolving credit facility and $1.375 billion in a five-year revolving credit facility. In July 2005, these facilities were extended to July 2006 for the 364-day credit facility and July 2010 for the five-year credit facility. The 364-day facility allows for the conversion by AIG of any outstanding loans at expiration into one-year term loans. The facilities can be used for general corporate purposes and also to provide backup for AIG’s commercial paper programs administered by AIG Funding. AIG expects to replace or extend these credit facilities on or prior to their expiration. There are currently no borrowings outstanding under these facilities, nor were any borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 2005.

     As a result of the Second Restatement, AIG will be seeking waivers from its bank credit facility lenders of the representations made with respect to prior period financial statements. Based on its discussions with the relevant lenders, AIG expects to receive such waivers, but no assurance can be given that such waivers will in fact be received. AIG’s bank credit facilities are an important part of AIG’s liquidity. See the discussion under “Liquidity” herein.

     AIG is also a party to an unsecured 364-day inter-company revolving credit facility provided by certain of its subsidiaries aggregating $2 billion that expires in October of 2006. The facility allows for the conversion of any outstanding loans at expiration into one-year term loans. The facility can be used for general corporate purposes and also to provide backup for AIG’s commercial paper programs. AIG expects to replace or extend this credit facility on or prior to its expiration. There are currently no borrowings outstanding under the inter-company facility, nor were any borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 2005.

     As of November 2001, AIG guaranteed the notes and bonds of AGC. During the first nine months of 2005, $300 million of previously issued notes matured.

     ILFC fulfills its short term cash requirements through the issuance of commercial paper. The issuance of commercial paper is subject to the approval of ILFC’s Board of Directors and is not guaranteed by AIG. ILFC is a party to unsecured syndicated revolving credit facilities aggregating $6.0 billion. The facilities can be used for general corporate purposes and also to provide backup for ILFC’s commercial paper program. They consist of $2.0 billion in a 364-day revolving credit facility that expires in October 2006, with a one-year term out option, $2.0 billion in a five-year revolving credit facility that expires in October 2010 and $2.0 billion in a five-year revolving credit facility that expires in October 2009. ILFC expects to replace or extend these credit facilities on or prior to their expiration. There are currently no borrowings outstanding under these facilities, nor were any borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 2005.

     As of September 30, 2005, ILFC was a party to two 180-day revolving credit facilities aggregating to $1.0 billion. Each of these facilities expired in October 2005. ILFC had aggregate outstanding borrowings of $203 million under these facilities as of September 30, 2005, which were repaid upon expiration.

     At September 30, 2005, ILFC had increased the aggregate principal amount outstanding of its medium term and long-term notes. The foreign exchange adjustment for the foreign currency denominated debt was $296 million at September 30, 2005 and $1.2 billion at December 31, 2004. ILFC had $13.13 billion of debt securities registered for public sale at September 30, 2005. As of September 30, 2005, $8.30 billion of debt securities were issued. In addition, ILFC has a Euro Medium Term Note Program for $7.0 billion, under which $3.81 billion in notes were sold through September 30, 2005. ILFC has substantially eliminated the currency exposure arising from foreign currency denominated notes by economically hedging that portion of the note exposure not already offset by Euro denominated operating lease payments. Notes issued under this program are included in Notes and Bonds Payable in the preceding table of borrowings.

     ILFC had a $4.3 billion Export Credit Facility (ECA) for use in connection with the purchase of approximately 75 aircraft delivered through 2001. This facility was guaranteed by various European Export Credit Agencies. The interest rate varies from 5.75 percent to 5.90 percent on these amortizing ten-year borrowings depending on the delivery date of the aircraft. At September 30, 2005, ILFC had $1.3 billion outstanding under this facility. The debt is collateralized by a pledge of the shares of a subsidiary of ILFC, which holds title to the aircraft financed under the facility.

     In May 2004, ILFC entered into a similarly structured ECA for up to a maximum of $2.64 billion for Airbus aircraft to be delivered through May 31, 2005. The facility has since been extended to include aircraft to be delivered through May 31, 2006. The facility becomes available as the various European Export Credit Agencies provide their guarantees

for aircraft based on a six-month forward-looking calendar, and the interest rate is determined through a bid process. At September 30, 2005, ILFC had $1.3 billion outstanding under this facility. Borrowings with respect to these facilities are included in Notes and Bonds Payable in the preceding table of borrowings.

     In August 2004, ILFC received a commitment for an Ex-Im Bank comprehensive guarantee in the amount of $1.68 billion to support the financing of up to 30 new Boeing aircraft. The delivery period initially extends from September 1, 2004 through August 31, 2005. ILFC has extended the delivery period to August 31, 2006. ILFC did not have any borrowings outstanding under this facility at September 30, 2005. From time to time, ILFC enters into various bank financings. As of September 30, 2005 the total funded amount was $1.7 billion. The financings mature through 2010. One tranche of one of the loans totaling $410 million was funded in Japanese yen and swapped to U.S. dollars.

     The proceeds of ILFC’s debt financing are primarily used to purchase flight equipment, including progress payments during the construction phase. The primary sources for the repayment of this debt and the interest expense thereon are the cash flow from operations, proceeds from the sale of flight equipment and the rollover and refinancing of the prior debt. AIG does not guarantee the debt obligations of ILFC. See also the discussions under “Operating Review: Financial Services Operations” and “Liquidity” herein.

     AGF fulfills its short term cash requirements through the issuance of commercial paper. The issuance of commercial paper is subject to the approval of AGF’s Board of Directors and is not guaranteed by AIG. AGF is a party to unsecured syndicated revolving credit facilities which, as of September 30, 2005, aggregated to $4.25 billion, consisting of $2.125 billion in a 364-day credit facility that expires in July 2006 and $2.125 billion in a five-year credit facility that expires in July 2010. The 364-day facility allows for the conversion by AGF of any outstanding loans at expiration into one-year term loans. The facilities can be used for general corporate purposes and also to provide backup for AGF’s commercial paper programs. AGF expects to replace or extend these credit facilities on or prior to their expiration. There are currently no borrowings under these AGF facilities, nor were any borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 2005.

     During the first nine months of 2005, AGF issued $4.69 billion fixed rate and variable rate medium term notes ranging in maturities from two to eight years. As of September 30, 2005, notes aggregating $17.16 billion were outstanding with maturity dates ranging from 2005 to 2014 at interest rates ranging from 1.50 percent to 7.50 percent. To the extent deemed appropriate, AGF may enter into swap transactions to manage its effective borrowing with respect to these notes.

     AGF’s other funding sources include private placement debt, retail note issuances and bank financings. In addition, AGF has become an established issuer of long-term debt in the international capital markets.

     Proceeds from the collection of finance receivables will be used to pay the principal and interest with respect to AGF’s debt. AIG does not guarantee any of the debt obligations of AGF. See also the discussion under “Operating Review: Financial Services Operations” and “Liquidity” herein.

     AIG Credit Company (Taiwan) and AIG Finance (Taiwan) Limited, both consumer finance subsidiaries in Taiwan, have issued commercial paper for the funding of their own operations. AIG does not guarantee the commercial paper issued by these subsidiaries.

     “Rating triggers” have been defined by one independent rating agency to include clauses or agreements the outcome of which depends upon the level of ratings maintained by one or more rating agencies. Rating triggers generally relate to events which (i) could result in the termination or limitation of credit availability, or require accelerated repayment, (ii) could result in the termination of business contracts or (iii) could require a company to post collateral for the benefit of counterparties.

     AIG believes that any of its or its subsidiaries’ contractual obligations that are subject to “ratings triggers” or financial covenants relating to “ratings triggers” would not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, future operating results or liquidity.

     As a result of the downgrades of AIG’s 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 October 31, 2005, based on AIG’s outstanding municipal guaranteed investment agreements and financial derivatives transactions as of such date, a further downgrade of AIG’s long-term senior debt ratings to ‘Aa3’ by Moody’s or ‘AA–’ by S&P would permit counterparties to call for approximately $1.29 billion 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. The requirement to post additional collateral may increase if additional counterparties begin to require credit support from AIG through collateralization agreements. Additional obligations to post collateral will increase the demand on AIG’s liquidity.

Shareholders’ Equity

AIG’s consolidated shareholders’ equity increased $8.75 billion during the first nine months of 2005. During the first nine months of 2005, retained earnings increased $8.99 billion, resulting from net income less dividends. Unrealized appreciation of investments, net of taxes increased $241 million and the cumulative translation adjustment loss, net of taxes, increased $535 million. During the first nine months of 2005, there was a gain of $26 million, net of taxes, relating to derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedging instruments. See also the discussion under “Operating Review” and “Liquidity” herein and the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

     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.

Stock Purchase

During the period January 1, 2005 through September 30, 2005, AIG purchased in the open market 2,477,100 shares of its common stock. AIG from time to time may buy shares of its common stock in the open market for general corporate purposes, including to satisfy its obligations under various employee benefit plans. At September 30, 2005, an additional 36,542,700 shares could be purchased under the then current authorization by AIG’s Board of Directors.

Dividends from Insurance Subsidiaries

Payments of dividends to AIG by its insurance subsidiaries are subject to certain restrictions imposed by regulatory authorities. With respect to AIG’s domestic insurance subsidiaries, the payment of any dividend requires formal notice to the insurance department in which the particular insurance subsidiary is domiciled. Under the laws of many states, an insurer may pay a dividend without prior approval of the insurance regulator when the amount of the dividend is below certain regulatory thresholds.

     With respect to AIG’s foreign insurance subsidiaries, the most significant insurance regulatory jurisdictions include Bermuda, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, Thailand and Singapore.

     AIG cannot predict whether the regulatory investigations currently underway or future regulatory issues will impair AIG’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. To AIG’s knowledge, no AIG company is currently on any regulatory or similar “watch list” with regard to solvency. However, as discussed under “Regulation and Supervision,” AIG has determined that dividends will not be declared or paid for the remainder of 2005 by its Domestic General Insurance subsidiaries. See also the discussion under “Liquidity” herein.

    

Regulation and Supervision

AIG’s insurance subsidiaries, in common with other insurers, are subject to regulation and supervision by the states and jurisdictions in which they do business. In the U.S. the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) has developed Risk-Based Capital (RBC) requirements. RBC relates an individual insurance company’s statutory surplus to the risk inherent in its overall operations.

     In connection with its restatement, AIG undertook to examine and evaluate each of the items that have been restated or adjusted in its consolidated GAAP financial statements to determine whether restatement of the previously filed statutory financial statements of its insurance company subsidiaries would be required. In October and early November 2005, AIG completed its audited statutory financial statements for all of the Domestic General Insurance companies. The statutory accounting treatment of the various items requiring adjustment or restatement were reviewed and agreed to with the relevant state insurance regulators in advance of the filings. Adjustments necessary to reflect the cumulative effect on statutory surplus of adjustments relating to years prior to 2004 were made to 2004 opening surplus, and 2004 statutory net income was restated accordingly.

     Previously reported General Insurance statutory surplus at December 31, 2004 was reduced by approximately $3.5 billion to approximately $20.6 billion.

     Statutory capital of each company continued to exceed minimum company action level requirements following the adjustments, but AIG nonetheless contributed an additional $750 million of capital into American Home Assurance Company effective September 30, 2005. To enhance their current capital positions, AIG’s Domestic General Insurance subsidiaries have determined that dividends will not be declared or paid for the remainder of 2005. AIG believes it has the capital resources and liquidity to fund any necessary statutory capital contributions. AIG will review the capital position of its insurance company subsidiaries with various rating agencies and regulators to determine if additional capital contributions or other actions are warranted.

     As discussed above, various regulators have commenced investigations into certain insurance business practices. While such investigations are in their early stages, it is possible that they may result in additional regulation of the insurance industry and specific action with respect to AIG and AIG cannot predict the ultimate effect that such additional regulation might have on its business. Federal, state or local legislation may affect AIG’s ability to operate and expand its various financial services businesses and changes in the current laws, regulations or interpretations thereof may have a material adverse effect on these businesses.

     AIG’s U.S. operations are negatively affected 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 expense relating to guarantee fund assessments net of credits for the first nine months of 2005 was $97 million.

     AIG is also 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.

American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

     A substantial portion of AIG’s General Insurance business and a majority of its Life Insurance & Retirement Services business are conducted in foreign countries. The degree of regulation and supervision in foreign jurisdictions varies. Generally, AIG, as well as the underwriting companies operating in such jurisdictions, must satisfy local regulatory requirements. Licenses issued by foreign authorities to AIG subsidiaries are subject to modification and revocation. Thus, AIG’s insurance subsidiaries could be prevented from conducting future business in certain of the jurisdictions where they currently operate. AIG’s international operations include operations in various developing nations. Both current and future foreign operations could be adversely affected by unfavorable political developments up to and including nationalization of AIG’s operations without compensation. Adverse effects resulting from any one country may affect AIG’s results of operations, liquidity and financial condition depending on the magnitude of the event and AIG’s net financial exposure at that time in that country.

     Foreign insurance operations are individually subject to local solvency margin requirements that require maintenance of adequate capitalization, which AIG complies with by country. In addition, certain foreign locations, notably Japan, have established regulations that can result in guarantee fund assessments. These have not had a material effect on AIG’s operations.

Liquidity

AIG’s liquidity is primarily derived from the operating cash flows of its General and Life Insurance & Retirement Services operations. Management believes that AIG’s liquid assets, its net cash provided by operations, and access to short-term funding through commercial paper and bank credit facilities will enable it to meet any anticipated cash requirements.

     At September 30, 2005, AIG’s consolidated invested assets included $18.35 billion of cash and short-term investments. Consolidated net cash provided from operating activities in the first nine months of 2005 amounted to $23.08 billion.

     The liquidity of the combined insurance operations is derived both domestically and abroad. The combined insurance operating cash flow is derived from two sources, underwriting operations and investment operations. Cash flow includes periodic premium collections, including policyholders’ contract deposits, cash flows from investment operations and paid loss recoveries less reinsurance premiums, losses, benefits, and acquisition and operating expenses. 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. Investment income cash flow is primarily derived from interest and dividends received and includes realized capital gains net of realized capital losses. See also the discussions under “Operating Review: General Insurance Operations” and “Life Insurance & Retirement Services Operations” herein.

     With respect to General Insurance operations, if paid losses accelerated beyond AIG’s ability to fund such paid losses from current operating cash flows, AIG might need to liquidate a portion of its General Insurance investment portfolio and/or arrange for financing. Potential events causing such a liquidity strain could be the result of several significant catastrophic events occurring in a relatively short period of time. Additional strain on liquidity could occur if the investments sold to fund such paid losses were sold into a depressed market place and/or reinsurance recoverable on such paid losses became uncollectible or collateral supporting such reinsurance recoverable significantly decreased in value. See also the discussions under “Operating Review: General Insurance Operations” herein.

     With respect to Life Insurance & Retirement Services operations, if a substantial portion of the Life Insurance & Retirement Services operations bond portfolio diminished significantly in value and/or defaulted, AIG might need to liquidate other portions of its Life Insurance & Retirement Services investment portfolio and/or arrange financing. Potential events causing such a liquidity strain could be the result of economic collapse of a nation or region in which AIG Life Insurance & Retirement Services operations exist, nationalization, terrorist acts or other such economic or political upheaval. In addition, a significant rise in interest rates leading to a significant increase in policyholder surrenders could also create a liquidity strain. See also the discussions under “Operating Review: Life Insurance & Retirement Services Operations” herein.

     In addition to the combined insurance pretax operating cash flow, AIG’s insurance operations held $9.74 billion in cash and short-term investments at September 30, 2005. Operating cash flow and the cash and short-term balances held provided AIG’s insurance operations with a significant amount of liquidity.

     This liquidity is available, among other things, to purchase predominately high quality and diversified fixed income securities and, to a lesser extent, marketable equity securities, and to provide mortgage loans on real estate, policy loans and collateral loans. This cash flow coupled with proceeds of approximately $122 billion from the maturities, sales and redemptions of fixed income securities and from the sale of equity securities was used to purchase approximately $147 billion of fixed income securities and marketable equity securities during the first nine months of 2005.

     AIG’s major Financial Services operating subsidiaries consist of AIGFP, ILFC, AGF and AIGCFG. Sources of funds considered in meeting the liquidity needs of AIGFP’s operations include execution of guaranteed investment agreements, issuance of long-term and short-term debt, proceeds from maturities and sales of securities available for sale, securities sold under repurchase agreements, and securities and spot commodities sold but not yet purchased. ILFC, AGF and AIGCFG all utilize the commercial paper markets, bank loans and bank credit facilities as sources of liquidity. ILFC and AGF also fund in the

84


Table of Contents

American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
domestic and international capital markets without reliance on any guarantee from AIG. An additional source of liquidity for ILFC is the use of export credit facilities. AIGCFG also uses wholesale and retail bank deposits as sources of funds. On occasion, AIG has provided equity capital to ILFC, AGF and AIGCFG and provides intercompany loans to AIGCFG. AIG and its subsidiaries contributed $400 million to the capital of ILFC during the third quarter of 2005. Cash flow provided from operations is a major source of liquidity for AIG’s primary Financial Services operating subsidiaries.

     AIG, the parent company, funds its short-term working capital needs through commercial paper issued by AIG Funding. As of September 30, 2005, AIG Funding had $1.98 billion of commercial paper outstanding with an average maturity of 31 days. As additional liquidity, AIG parent has a $2 billion 364-day inter-company revolving credit facility provided by certain of its subsidiaries, a $1.375 billion 364-day revolving bank credit facility that expires in July 2006 and a $1.375 billion five year revolving bank credit facility that expires in July 2010. AIG parent’s primary sources of cash flow are dividends and loans from its subsidiaries. AIG parent’s primary uses of cash flow are for debt service and the payment of dividends to shareholders. As of September 30, 2005, including debt obligations of AGC that are guaranteed by AIG, remaining debt maturities due in 2005 totaled $500 million. See also Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in AIG’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information on debt maturities for AIG and its subsidiaries.

Special Purpose Vehicles and Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

AIG uses special purpose vehicles (SPVs) and off balance sheet arrangements in the ordinary course of business. As a result of recent changes in accounting, a number of SPVs and off balance sheet arrangements have been reflected in AIG’s consolidated financial statements. In January 2003, FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (FIN 46). FIN 46 addressed the consolidation and disclosure rules for nonoperating entities that are now defined as Variable Interest Entities (VIEs). In December 2003, FASB issued a revision to Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46R).

     AIG has guidelines with respect to the formation of and investment in SPVs and off balance sheet arrangements. In addition, AIG has expanded the responsibility of its Complex Structured Financial Transaction Committee (CSFT) to include the review of any transaction that could subject AIG to heightened legal, reputational, regulatory or other risk. See “Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting” in Item 9A of Part II included in AIG’s 2004 Annual Report Form 10-K for a further discussion of the CSFT.

     For additional information related to AIG’s activities with respect to VIEs and certain guarantees see “Recent Accounting Standards” herein and also Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Also, for additional disclosure regarding AIG’s commercial commitments (including guarantors), see “Contractual Obligations and Other Commercial Commitments” herein.

Derivatives

Derivatives are financial instruments among two or more parties with returns linked to or “derived” from some underlying equity, debt, commodity or other asset, liability, or index. Derivatives payments may be based on interest rates and exchange rates and/or prices of certain securities, commodities, financial or commodity indices, or other variables. The more significant types of derivative arrangements in which AIG transacts are swaps, forwards, futures and options. In the normal course of business, with the agreement of the original counterparty, these contracts may be terminated early or assigned to another counterparty.

     The overwhelming majority of AIG’s derivatives activities are conducted by the Capital Markets operations, thus permitting AIG to participate in the derivatives dealer market acting primarily as principal. In these derivative operations, AIG structures transactions that generally allow its counterparties to obtain, or hedge, exposure to changes in interest and foreign currency exchange rates, credit events, securities’ prices, commodities and financial or commodity indices. AIG’s customers – such as corporations, financial institutions, multinational organizations, sovereign entities, government agencies and municipalities – use derivatives to hedge their own market exposures. For example, a futures, forward or option contract can be used to protect the customers’ assets or liabilities against price fluctuations.

     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. Credit risk exists for a derivative contract when that contract has a positive fair value to AIG. To help manage this risk, AIGFP’s credit department operates within the guidelines set and authorities granted by the AIG Credit Risk Committee. This committee establishes the credit policy, sets 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 other factors, including the industry and country of the counterparty. Transactions which fall outside pre-established guidelines and limits require the specific approval of the AIG Credit Risk Committee. It is also AIG’s policy to establish reserves for potential credit impairment when necessary.

     In addition, AIGFP utilizes various credit enhancements, including letters of credit, guarantees, collateral, credit triggers, credit derivatives, and margin agreements to reduce the credit risk relating to its outstanding financial derivative

transactions. AIGFP requires credit enhancements in connection with specific transactions based on, among other things, the creditworthiness of the counterparties, and the transaction’s size and maturity.

     AIG’s Derivatives Review Committee provides an independent review of any proposed derivative transaction or program except those derivative transactions entered into by AIGFP with third parties. The committee examines, among other things, the nature and purpose of the derivative transaction, its potential credit exposure, if any, and the estimated benefits.

     FAS 133 requires that third-party derivatives used for hedging must be specifically matched with the underlying exposures to an outside third party and documented contemporaneously to qualify for hedge accounting treatment. In most cases, AIG did not meet these hedging requirements with respect to certain hedging transactions. Not meeting the requirements of FAS 133 does not result in any changes in AIG’s liquidity or its overall financial condition even though inter-period volatility of earnings is increased.

Managing Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss of fair value resulting from adverse fluctuations in interest rates, foreign currencies, equities and commodity prices. AIG has exposures to these risks.

     AIG analyzes market risk using various statistical techniques including Value at Risk (VaR). VaR is a summary statistical measure that applies the estimated volatility and correlation of market factors to AIG’s market positions. The output from the VaR calculation is the maximum loss that could occur over a defined period of time given a certain probability. While VaR models are relatively sophisticated, the quantitative market risk information generated is limited by the assumptions and parameters established in creating the related models. AIG believes that statistical models alone do not provide a reliable method of monitoring and controlling market risk. Therefore, such models are tools and do not substitute for the experience or judgment of senior management.

Insurance

AIG has performed a separate VaR analysis for the General Insurance and Life Insurance & Retirement Services segments and for each market risk within each segment. For purposes of the VaR calculation, the insurance assets and liabilities from GICs are included in the Life Insurance & Retirement Services segment. For the calculations in the analyses the financial instrument assets included are the insurance segments’ invested assets, excluding real estate and investment income due and accrued, and the financial instrument liabilities included are reserve for losses and loss expenses, reserve for unearned premiums, future policy benefits for life and accident and health insurance contracts and other policyholders’ funds.

     AIG calculated the VaR with respect to the net fair value of each of AIG’s insurance segments as of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004. The VaR number represents the maximum potential loss that could be incurred with a 95 percent confidence (i.e., only 5 percent of historical scenarios show losses greater than the VaR figure) within a one-month holding period. AIG uses the historical simulation methodology that entails repricing all assets and liabilities under explicit changes in market rates within a specific historical time period. AIG uses the most recent three years of historical market information for interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and equity index prices. For each scenario, each transaction was repriced. Portfolio, business unit and finally AIG-wide scenario values are then calculated by netting the values of all the underlying assets and liabilities.

The following table presents the VaR on a combined basis and of each component of market risk for each of AIG’s insurance segments as of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004. Due to diversification effects, the combined VaR is always smaller than the sum of its components.

Financial Services

AIG generally manages its market exposures within Financial Services by maintaining offsetting positions. Capital Markets seeks to minimize or set limits for open or uncovered market positions. Credit exposure is managed separately. See the discussion on the management of credit risk above.

     AIG’s Market Risk Management Department provides detailed independent review of AIG’s market exposures, particularly those market exposures of the Capital Markets operations. This department determines whether AIG’s market risks, as well as those market risks of individual subsidiaries, are within the parameters established by AIG’s senior management. Well established market risk management techniques such as sensitivity analysis are used. Additionally, this department verifies that specific market risks of each of certain subsidiaries are managed and hedged by that subsidiary.

     ILFC is exposed to market risk and the risk of loss of fair value and possible liquidity strain resulting from adverse fluctuations in interest rates. As of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, AIG statistically measured the loss of fair value through the application of a VaR model. In this analysis, the net fair value of Aircraft Finance operations was determined using the financial instrument assets which included the tax adjusted future flight equipment lease revenue, and the financial instrument liabilities which included the future servicing of the current debt. The estimated effect of the current derivative positions was also taken into account.

     AIG calculated the VaR with respect to the net fair value of Aircraft Finance operations using the historical simulation methodology, as previously described. As of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the average VaR with respect to the net fair value of Aircraft Finance operations was approximately $98 million and $70 million, respectively.

     Capital Markets operations are exposed to market risk due to changes in the level and volatility of interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, equity prices and commodity prices. AIGFP hedges its exposure to these risks primarily through swaps, options, forwards and futures. To economically hedge interest rate risks, AIGFP may also purchase U.S. and foreign government obligations.

     AIGFP does not seek to manage the market risk of each transaction through an individual third party offsetting transaction. Rather, AIGFP takes a portfolio approach to the management of its market risk exposures. AIGFP values the predominant portion of its market-sensitive transactions by marking them to market currently through income. A smaller portion is priced by estimated fair value based upon a conservative extrapolation of market factors. There is another limited portion of transactions where the initial fair value is not recorded through income currently and gains or losses are accrued over the life of the transactions. These valuations represent an assessment of the present values of expected future cash flows and may include reserves for such risks as are deemed appropriate by AIGFP and AIG management.

     The recorded values of these transactions may be different from the values that might be realized if AIGFP were required to sell or close out the transactions prior to maturity. AIG believes that such differences are not significant to results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. Such differences would be recognized immediately when the transactions are sold or closed out prior to maturity.

     AIGFP attempts to secure reliable and independent current market prices, such as published exchange prices, external subscription services such as from Bloomberg or Reuters or third-party broker quotes for use in this model. When such prices are not available, AIGFP uses an internal methodology which includes extrapolation from observable and verifiable prices nearest to the dates of the transactions. Historically, actual results have not deviated from these models in any material respect.

     Systems used by Capital Markets operations can monitor each unit’s respective market positions on an intraday basis. AIGFP operates in major business centers overseas and therefore is open for business essentially 24 hours a day. Thus, the market exposure and offset strategies are monitored, reviewed and coordinated around the clock.

     AIGFP applies various testing techniques which reflect significant potential market movements in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity and equity prices, volatility levels and the effect of time. These techniques vary by currency and are regularly changed to reflect factors affecting the derivatives portfolio. The results from these analyses are regularly reviewed by AIG management.

     As described above, Capital Markets operations are exposed to the risk of loss of fair value from adverse fluctuations in interest rate and foreign currency exchange rates and equity and commodity prices as well as implied volatilities thereon. AIG statistically measures the losses of fair value through the application of a VaR model across Capital Markets.

     Capital Markets asset and liability portfolios for which the VaR analyses were performed included over the counter and exchange traded investments, derivative instruments and commodities. Because the market risk with respect to securities available for sale, at market, is substantially hedged, segregation of market sensitive instruments into trading and other than trading was not deemed necessary. The VAR calculation is unaffected by the accounting treatment of hedged transactions under FAS 133.

     In the calculation of VaR for Capital Markets operations, AIG uses the same historical simulation methodology, described under Insurance above, which entails repricing all assets and liabilities under explicit changes in market rates within a specific historical time period. AIGFP has recently enhanced its library of factors by including implied option volatilities to construct the historical scenarios for simulation.

The following table presents the VaR on a combined basis and of each component of Capital Markets risk as of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004. Due to diversification effects, the combined VaR is always smaller than the sum of its components.

Recent Accounting Standards

At the March 2004 meeting, the Emerging Issue Task Force (EITF) reached a consensus with respect to Issue No. 03-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments.” On September 30, 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) EITF Issue 03-1-1, Effective Date of Paragraphs 10-20 of EITF Issue No. 03-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments.” In November 2005, FASB issued FSP FAS 115-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments,” which replaces the measurement and recognition guidance set forth in Issue No. 03-1 and codifies certain existing guidance on impairment.

     At the September 2004 meeting, the EITF reached a consensus with respect to Issue No. 04-8, “Accounting Issues Related to Certain Features of Contingently Convertible Debt and the Effect on Diluted Earnings per Share.”

     In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 123 (revised 2004) (FAS 123R), “Share Based Payment.” In April 2005, the SEC delayed the effective date for the revised FAS No. 123.

     In March 2005, the FASB issued FSP FIN46R-5, “Implicit Variable Interests under FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.”

     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.”

     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.”

     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.”

     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.”

     For further discussion of these recent accounting standards and their application to AIG, see Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Controls and Procedures

As of September 30, 2005, an evaluation was carried out by AIG’s management, with the participation of AIG’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of AIG’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based on its evaluation, which included comparisons to the criteria in Internal Control – Integrated Framework – issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and in light of the previously identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described within the 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K, AIG’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2005, AIG’s disclosure controls and procedures continued to be ineffective.

     Earlier in 2005, in connection with the preparation of AIG’s consolidated financial statements to be included in the 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K, AIG’s current management initiated an internal review of AIG’s books and records, which was substantially expanded in mid-March 2005. As a result of the findings of that review, together with the results of investigations conducted by outside counsel at the request of AIG’s Audit Committee, and in consultation with AIG’s independent registered public accounting firm, AIG restated its audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, 2001 and 2000 and its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2004 and 2003 and the quarter ended December 31, 2003.

     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 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. Due to the significance of these corrections, AIG will restate its audited consolidated financial statements for 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 2005 and the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2004 and 2003. AIG is actively engaged in the implementation of remediation efforts to address the material weaknesses in AIG’s internal control over financial reporting. AIG will disclose any further developments arising as a result of its remediation efforts in future filings with the SEC.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

     The following supplements and amends AIG’s discussion set forth under “Legal Proceedings” in Part I, Item 3 of the 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated by AIG’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2005.

     On July 8, 2005, Starr International Company, Inc. (SICO) filed a complaint against American International Group, Inc. 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 ordered release of those items as well as actual, consequential, punitive and exemplary damages. On September 27, 2005, AIG filed its answer to SICO’s complaint denying SICO’s allegations and asserting counter-claims for breach of contract, unjust enrichment, conversion and breach of fiduciary duty relating to SICO’s breach of its commitment to use its AIG shares for the benefit of AIG and its employees. On October 17, 2005, SICO replied to AIG’s 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 Exchange Act and Rule 144 under the Securities Act, respectively. AIG responded to the SICO claims and sought a dismissal of SICO’s claims on November 7, 2005.

     Between October 19, 2004 and August 1, 2005, AIG or its subsidiaries were named as a defendant in thirteen complaints that were filed in federal court and two that were originally filed in state courts in Massachusetts and Florida. 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 bidding practices for insurance coverage in certain sectors of the insurance industry. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation entered an order consolidating most of these cases and transferring them to the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. The remainder of these cases are in the process of being transferred to the District of New Jersey. On August 1, 2005, the plaintiffs in the multidistrict litigation filed a 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 1, 2005, AIG and a subsidiary were named as defendants in a First Consolidated Amended Employee Benefits Complaint filed in the District of New Jersey that adds claims under ERISA. The two cases filed in Massachusetts and Florida state courts have been stayed in favor of the consolidated federal court proceeding.

     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 federal district court in the Southern District of New York adding allegations concerning AIG’s accounting treatment for non-traditional insurance products that have been the subject of AIG’s press releases and are described more fully in AIG’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In September, a second amended complaint was filed in the consolidated securities cases adding allegations concerning AIG’s restatement described in the 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Also in September, 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. In September, a consolidated complaint was filed in the ERISA case pending in the Southern District of New York. Also in April, new derivative actions were filed in Delaware Chancery Court, and in July and August, 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, 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 restatement in AIG’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K and, in August, an amended consolidated complaint was filed. In June, the derivative cases in Delaware were consolidated. AIG’s Board of Directors has appointed a special committee of independent directors to review certain of the matters asserted in the derivative complaints. The court has approved an agreement 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.

     AIG understands that some of its employees have received Wells notices in connection with previously disclosed SEC investigations of certain of AIG’s 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 may receive similar notices in the future as the regulatory investigations proceed.

* The proportion deemed representative of the interest factor.

The secondary ratio is disclosed for the convenience of fixed income investors and the rating agencies that serve them and is more comparable to the ratios disclosed by all issuers of fixed income securities. The secondary ratio removes interest credited to guaranteed investment contract (GIC) policyholders and guaranteed investment agreement (GIA) contractholders from total fixed charges. Such expenses are also removed from income before income taxes, minority interest, cumulative effect of an accounting change and fixed charges used in this calculation. GICs and GIAs are entered into by AIG’s insurance subsidiaries, principally SunAmerica Life Insurance Company and AIG Financial Products Corp. and its subsidiaries, respectively. The proceeds from GICs and GIAs are invested in a diversified portfolio of securities, primarily investment grade bonds. The assets acquired yield rates greater than the rates on the related policyholders obligation or agreement, with the intent of earning operating income from the spread.
