ITEM 1. Business
American International Group, Inc. ("AIG"), a Delaware corporation, is a holding
company which through its subsidiaries is engaged in a broad range of insurance
and insurance-related activities and financial services in the United States and
abroad. AIG's primary activities include both general and life insurance
operations. Other significant activities include financial services and asset
management. The principal insurance company subsidiaries are American Home
Assurance Company ("American Home"), National Union Fire Insurance Company of
Pittsburgh, Pa. ("National Union"), New Hampshire Insurance Company ("New
Hampshire"), Lexington Insurance Company ("Lexington"), Transatlantic
Reinsurance Company, American International Underwriters Overseas, Ltd.

Shan"), American International Reinsurance Company, Ltd. and United Guaranty
Residential Insurance Company. The merger of SunAmerica Inc., a leading company
in the retirement savings and asset accumulation business, with and into AIG
became effective January 1, 1999. The transaction was treated as a pooling of
interests for accounting purposes. AIG issued 0.855 shares of common stock in
exchange for each share of SunAmerica Inc. stock outstanding at the effective
time of the merger for an aggregate issuance of approximately 187.5 million
shares. For information on AIG's business segments, see Note 18 of Notes to
Financial Statements.
All per share information herein gives retroactive effect to all stock
dividends and stock splits. As of January 31, 2000, beneficial ownership of
approximately 13.7 percent, 2.8 percent and 2.0 percent of AIG's Common Stock,
$2.50 par value ("Common Stock"), was held by Starr International Company, Inc.
("SICO"), The Starr Foundation and C.V. Starr & Co., Inc. ("Starr"),
respectively.
At December 31, 1999, AIG and its subsidiaries had approximately 55,000
employees.
The following table shows the general development of the business of AIG
on a consolidated basis, the contributions made to AIG's consolidated revenues
and operating income and the assets held, in the periods indicated by its

General Insurance Operations
AIG's general insurance subsidiaries are multiple line companies writing
substantially all lines of property and casualty insurance. One or more of these
companies is licensed to write substantially all of these lines in all states of
the United States and in approximately 70 foreign countries.
Domestic general insurance operations are comprised of the Domestic
Brokerage Group, which includes the domestic operations of Transatlantic
Holdings, Inc. ("Transatlantic"), Personal Lines, including 21st Century
Insurance Group (21st Century), and Mortgage Guaranty.
Commencing with the third quarter of 1998, Transatlantic and 21st Century
were consolidated into AIG's financial statements, as a result of AIG obtaining
majority ownership.
AIG's primary domestic division is the Domestic Brokerage Group (DBG).
DBG's business is derived from brokers in the United States and Canada and is
conducted through its general insurance subsidiaries including American Home,
National Union, Lexington, Transatlantic and certain other insurance company
subsidiaries of AIG. The risk management division of DBG provides insurance and
risk management programs for large corporate customers. The AIG Risk Finance
division designs and implements creative risk financing alternatives using the
insurance and financial services capabilities of AIG. Also included are the
operations of DBG's environmental unit which focuses specifically on providing
specialty products to clients with environmental exposures.
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 directors and
officers liability, difference-in-conditions, kidnap-ransom, export credit and
political risk, and various types of professional errors and omissions
coverages. 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.
AIG engages in mass marketing of personal lines coverages, primarily
private passenger auto and includes homeowners and personal umbrella coverages,
principally through American International Insurance Company and 21st Century.

4
The business of United Guaranty Corporation ("UGC") and its subsidiaries
is also included in the domestic operations of AIG. The principal business of
the UGC subsidiaries is the writing of residential mortgage loan insurance,
which is guaranty insurance on conventional first mortgage loans on
single-family dwellings and condominiums. Such insurance protects lenders
against loss if borrowers default. UGC subsidiaries also write home equity and
property improvement loan insurance on loans to finance residential property
improvements, alterations and repairs and for other purposes not necessarily
related to real estate. UGC had approximately $19 billion of mortgage guarantee
risk in-force at December 31, 1999.
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 for their own accounts. The Foreign General group uses various
marketing methods to write both business and personal lines insurance with
certain refinements for local laws, customs and needs. AIU operates in over 70
countries in Asia, the Pacific Rim, Europe, Africa, Middle East and Latin
America. Transatlantic's foreign operations are included in this group.
During 1999, DBG and the Foreign General insurance group accounted for
50.0 percent and 34.2 percent, respectively, of AIG's net premiums written.
AIG's general insurance company subsidiaries worldwide operate primarily
by underwriting and accepting any size risk for their direct account and
securing reinsurance on that portion of the risk in excess of the limit which
they wish to retain. This operating policy differs from that of many insurance
companies which will underwrite only up to their net retention limit, thereby
requiring the broker or agent to secure commitments from other underwriters for
the remainder of the gross risk amount.
The following table summarizes general insurance premiums written and
earned:

The utilization of reinsurance is closely monitored by an internal
reinsurance security committee, consisting of members of AIG's senior
management. No single reinsurer is a material reinsurer to AIG nor is AIG's
business substantially dependent upon any reinsurance contract. (See also
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations and Note 5 of Notes to Financial Statements.)
AIG is well diversified both in terms of lines of business and geographic
locations. Of the general insurance lines of business, workers' compensation was
approximately 7 percent of AIG's net premiums written. This line is well
diversified geographically.
The majority of AIG's insurance business is in the casualty classes, which
tend to involve longer periods of time for the reporting and settling of claims.
This may increase the risk and uncertainty with respect to AIG's loss reserve
development. (See also the Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated Net Losses
and Loss Expense Reserve Development and Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations.)

During 1999, of the direct general insurance premiums written (gross
premiums less return premiums and cancellations, excluding reinsurance assumed
and before deducting reinsurance ceded), 10.8 percent, 5.8 percent and 5.1
percent were written in California, New York and Illinois, respectively. No
other state accounted for more than 5 percent of such premiums.
There was no significant adverse effect on AIG's general insurance results
of operations from the economic environments in any one state, country or
geographic region for the year ended December 31, 1999. (See also Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.)
Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated Net Losses and Loss Expense Reserve
Development
The reserve for net losses and loss expenses represents the accumulation of
estimates for reported losses ("case basis reserves") and provisions for losses
incurred but not reported ("IBNR"), both reduced by applicable reinsurance
recoverable. Losses and loss expenses are charged to income as incurred. AIG
discounts certain of its loss reserves principally related to workers'
compensation lines of business.
Loss reserves established with respect to foreign business are set and
monitored in terms of the respective local or functional currency. Therefore, no
assumption is included for changes in currency rates. (See also Note 1(t) of
Notes to Financial Statements.)
Management continually reviews the adequacy of established loss reserves
through the utilization of a number of analytical reserve development
techniques. Through the use of these techniques, management is able to monitor
the adequacy of its established reserves and determine appropriate assumptions
for inflation. Also, analysis of emerging specific development patterns, such as
case reserve redundancies or deficiencies and IBNR emergence, allows management
to currently determine any required adjustments. (See also Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.)
The "Analysis of Consolidated Net Losses and Loss Expense Reserve
Development", which follows, presents the development of net losses and loss
expense reserves for calendar years 1989 through 1999. The upper half of the
table shows the cumulative amounts paid during successive years related to the
opening loss reserves. For example, with respect to the net losses and loss
expense reserve of $16.76 billion as of December 31, 1992, by the end of 1999
(seven years later) $14.50 billion had actually been paid in settlement of these
net loss reserves. In addition, as reflected in the lower section of the table,
the original reserve of $16.76 billion was reestimated to be $18.15 billion at
December 31, 1999. This increase from the original estimate would generally be a
combination of a number of factors, including reserves being settled for larger
amounts than originally estimated. The original estimates will also be increased
or decreased as more information becomes known about the individual claims and
overall claim frequency and severity patterns. The redundancy (deficiency)
depicted in the table, for any particular calendar year, shows the aggregate
change in estimates over the period of years subsequent to the calendar year
reflected at the top of the respective column heading. For example, the
redundancy of $382 million at December 31, 1999 related to December 31, 1998 net
losses and loss expense reserves of $24.62 billion represents the cumulative
amount by which reserves for 1998 and prior years have developed redundantly
during 1999. The reserve for net losses and loss expenses with respect to
Transatlantic and 21st Century are included only in the consolidated net losses
and loss expenses commencing with the year ended December 31, 1998. Reserve
development for these operations is included only for 1998 and subsequent
periods.
Over the past several years, AIG has significantly strengthened its net
loss and loss expense reserves with respect to asbestos and environmental
losses. This strengthening is the primary cause of the adverse development
reflected in certain calendar years in the net loss and loss expense reserves
shown in the following table.

(c) See also Note 6(a) of Notes to Financial Statements.
Approximately 45 percent of the net losses and loss expense reserves are
paid out within two years of the date incurred. The remaining net losses and
loss expense reserves, particularly those associated with the casualty lines of
business, may extend to 20 years or more.
For further discussion regarding net reserves for losses and loss
expenses, see Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
The reserve for losses and loss expenses as reported in AIG's Consolidated
Balance Sheet at December 31, 1999, differs from the total reserve reported in
the Annual Statements filed with state insurance departments and, where
appropriate, with foreign regulatory authorities. The differences at December
31, 1999 relate primarily to reserves for certain foreign operations. (See also
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations.)
The reserve for gross losses and loss expenses is prior to reinsurance and
represents the accumulation for reported losses and IBNR. Management reviews the
adequacy of established gross loss reserves in the manner previously described
for net loss reserves.
The "Analysis of Consolidated Gross Losses and Loss

Expense Reserve Development", which follows, presents the development of gross
losses and loss expense reserves for calendar years 1992 through 1999. As with
the net losses and loss expense reserve development, the deficiencies of $1.77
billion and $923 million for 1992 and 1993, and redundancies of $1.02 billion,
$1.44 billion, $2.02 billion, $1.15 billion and $1.15 billion for 1994, 1995,
1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively, are relatively insignificant both in terms of
an aggregate amount and as a percentage of the initial reserve balance.

Life Insurance Operations
AIG's life insurance subsidiaries offer a wide range of traditional insurance
and financial and investment products. One or more of these subsidiaries is
licensed to write life insurance in all states in the United States and in over
70 foreign countries. Traditional products consist of individual and group life,
annuity, endowment and accident and health policies. Financial and investment
products consist of single premium annuity, variable annuities, guaranteed
investment contracts, universal life and pensions. (See also Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.)
Life insurance operations in foreign countries comprised 92.1 percent of
life premium income and 66.0 percent of operating income in 1999. AIG operates
overseas principally through American Life Insurance Company (ALICO), American
International Assurance Company, Limited together with American International
Assurance Company (Bermuda) Limited (AIA) and Nan Shan Life Insurance Company,
Ltd. (Nan Shan). ALICO is incorporated in Delaware and all of its business is
written outside of the United States. ALICO has operations either directly or
through subsidiaries in approximately 50 countries located in Europe, Africa,
Latin America, the Caribbean, the Middle East, and the Far East, with Japan
being the largest territory. AIA operates primarily in Hong Kong, Singapore,
Malaysia and Thailand. Nan Shan operates in Taiwan. These operations comprised
89.8 percent of AIG's consolidated life premium income. (See also Note 18 of
Notes to Financial Statements.)
AIG's domestic life operations are comprised of two separate operations,
AIG's domestic life companies and the life insurance subsidiaries of SunAmerica.
AIG's predominant domestic life subsidiaries are American International Life
Assurance Company of New York and AIG Life Insurance Company. These companies
utilize multiple distribution channels including brokerage and career and
general agents to offer primarily life insurance, financial and investment
products and specialty forms of accident and health coverage for individuals and
groups, including employee benefit plans. SunAmerica sells primarily financial
and investment type products. The domestic life operations comprised 7.9 percent
of total life premium income in 1999.
There was no significant adverse effect on AIG's life insurance results of
operations from economic environments in any one state, country or geographic
region for the year ended December 31, 1999. (See also Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.)
Traditional life insurance products such as whole life and endowment
continue to be significant in the overseas companies, especially in Southeast
Asia, while a mixture of traditional, accident and health and financial products
are sold in Japan.
In addition to the above, AIG also has subsidiary operations in the
Philippines, Canada, Mexico, Poland, Switzerland, Puerto Rico, and conducts life
insurance business through AIUO subsidiary companies in Russia, Israel and in
certain countries in Central and South America.

The foreign life companies have approximately 125,000 career agents and
sell their products largely to indigenous persons in local currencies. In
addition to the agency outlets, these companies also distribute their products
through direct marketing channels, such as mass marketing, and through brokers
and other distribution outlets such as financial institutions.
The following tables summarize the life insurance operating results for
the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998. (See also Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.)

1999, 1998 and 1997, 64.7 percent, 68.0 percent and 69.3 percent, respectively,
of consolidated life operating income before realized capital losses was derived
from foreign operations.
Insurance Investment Operations
A significant portion of AIG's general and life operating revenues are derived
from AIG's insurance investment operations. (See also Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Notes 1, 2, 8

AIG's worldwide insurance investment policy places primary emphasis on
investments in high quality, fixed income securities in all of its portfolios
and, to a lesser extent, investments in marketable common stocks in order to
preserve policyholders' surplus and generate net investment income. The ability
to implement this policy is somewhat limited in certain territories as there may
be a lack of qualified long term investments or investment restrictions may be
imposed by the local regulatory authorities. (See also Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.)
Financial Services Operations
AIG's financial services subsidiaries engage in diversified financial products
and services including aircraft, consumer and premium financing, and banking
services.
International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC) engages primarily in the
acquisition of new and used commercial jet aircraft and the leasing and
remarketing of such aircraft to airlines around the world. (See also Note 18 of
Notes to Financial Statements.)
AIG Financial Products Corp. and its subsidiaries (AIGFP) structure
financial transactions, including long-dated interest rate and currency swaps
and structures borrowing through notes, bonds and guaranteed investment
agreements. (See also Note 18 of Notes to Financial Statements.)
AIG Trading Group Inc. and its subsidiaries (AIGTG) engage in various
commodities trading, foreign exchange trading, interest rate swaps and market
making activities. (See also Note 18 of Notes to Financial Statements.)
Together these three operations comprise 94.5 percent of the commissions,
transaction and other fees of AIG's consolidated financial services operations.

A.I. Credit Corp. and Imperial Premium Finance, Inc. also contribute to
financial services income. These operations engage principally in premium
financing. (See also Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations and Notes 1, 9 and 12 of Notes to Financial
Statements.)
AIG Consumer Finance Group, Inc., through its subsidiaries, is engaged in
developing a multi-product consumer finance business with an emphasis on
emerging markets.
Asset Management Operations
AIG's asset management operations offer a wide variety of investment vehicles
and services, including variable annuities, mutual funds, and investment asset
management. Such products and services are offered to individuals and
institutions both domestically and internationally.
AIG's three principal asset management operations are SunAmerica's asset
management operations (SAAMCo), AIG Global Investment Group, Inc. and its
subsidiaries (Global Investment) and AIG Capital Partners, Inc. (Cap Partners).
SAAMCo develops and sells variable annuities and other investment products,
sells and manages mutual funds and provides financial services. Global
Investment manages invested assets of institutions, including insurance
companies and pension funds, and provides custodial services. Cap Partners
organizes, and manages the invested assets of institutional investment funds and
may also invest in such funds. Each of these subsidiary operations receives fees
for investment products and services provided.
Other Operations
Small AIG subsidiaries provide insurance-related services such as adjusting
claims and marketing specialized products. AIG has several other relatively
minor subsidiaries which carry on various businesses. American International
Technology Enterprises, Inc. provides information technology and processing
services to businesses worldwide. Mt. Mansfield Company, Inc. owns and operates
the ski slopes, lifts, school and an inn located at Stowe, Vermont.
Additional Investments
AIG holds a 24.4 percent interest in IPC Holdings, Ltd., a reinsurance holding
company and a 19.9 percent interest in Richmond Insurance Company, Ltd., a
reinsurer. (See also Note 1(o) of Notes to Financial Statements.)
Locations of Certain Assets
As of December 31, 1999, approximately 32 percent of the consolidated assets of
AIG were located in foreign countries (other than Canada), including $894
million of cash and securities on deposit with foreign regulatory authorities.
Foreign operations and assets held abroad may be adversely affected by political
developments in foreign countries, including such possibilities as tax changes,
nationalization and changes in
11
13
regulatory policy, as well as by consequence of hostilities and unrest. The
risks of such occurrences and their overall effect upon AIG vary from country to
country and cannot easily be predicted. If expropriation or nationalization does
occur, AIG's policy is to take all appropriate measures to seek recovery of such
assets. Certain of the countries in which AIG's business is conducted have
currency restrictions which generally cause a delay in a company's ability to
repatriate assets and profits. (See also Notes 1, 2 and 18 of Notes to Financial
Statements.)
Insurance Regulation and Competition
Certain states require registration and periodic reporting by insurance
companies which are licensed in such states and are controlled by other
corporations. Applicable legislation typically requires periodic disclosure
concerning the corporation which controls the registered insurer and the other
companies in the holding company system and prior approval of intercorporate
transfers of assets (including in some instances payment of dividends by the
insurance subsidiary) within the holding company system. AIG's subsidiaries are
registered under such legislation in those states which have such
requirements.(See also Note 11 of Notes to Financial Statements.)
AIG's insurance subsidiaries, in common with other insurers, are subject
to regulation and supervision by the states and by other jurisdictions in which
they do business. Within the United States, the method of such regulation varies
but generally has its source in statutes that delegate regulatory and
supervisory powers to an insurance official. The regulation and supervision
relate primarily to approval of policy forms and rates, the standards of
solvency that must be met and maintained, including risk based capital
measurements, the licensing of insurers and their agents, the nature of and
limitations on investments, restrictions on the size of risks which may be
insured under a single policy, deposits of securities for the benefit of
policyholders, methods of accounting, periodic examinations of the affairs of
insurance companies, the form and content of reports of financial condition
required to be filed, and reserves for unearned premiums, losses and other
purposes. In general, such regulation is for the protection of policyholders
rather than security holders. (See also Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations.)
Risk Based Capital (RBC) is designed to measure the adequacy of an
insurer's statutory surplus in relation to the risks inherent in its business.
Thus, inadequately capitalized general and life insurance companies may be
identified.
The RBC formula develops a risk adjusted target level of adjusted
statutory capital by applying certain factors to various asset, premium and
reserve items. Higher factors are applied to more risky items and lower factors
are applied to less risky items. Thus, the target level of statutory surplus
varies not only as a result of the insurer's size, but also on the risk profile
of the insurer's operations.
The RBC Model Law provides for four incremental levels of regulatory
attention for insurers whose surplus is below the calculated RBC target. These
levels of attention range in severity from requiring the insurer to submit a
plan for corrective action to actually placing the insurer under regulatory
control.
The statutory surplus of each of AIG's domestic general and life insurance
subsidiaries exceeded their RBC standards by considerable margins as of December
31, 1999.
To the extent that any of AIG's insurance entities would fall below
prescribed levels of surplus, it would be AIG's intention to infuse necessary
capital to support that entity.
A substantial portion of AIG's general insurance business and a majority
of its life insurance business is carried on in foreign countries. The degree of
regulation and supervision in foreign jurisdictions varies from minimal in some
to stringent in others. 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 or revocation by such authorities, and AIU or other AIG
subsidiaries could be prevented from conducting business in certain of the
jurisdictions where they currently operate. In the past, AIU has been allowed to
modify its operations to conform with new licensing requirements in most
jurisdictions.
In addition to licensing requirements, AIG's foreign operations are also
regulated in various jurisdictions with respect to currency, policy language and
terms, amount and type of security deposits, amount and type of reserves, amount
and type of local investment and the share of profits to be returned to
policyholders on participating policies. Some foreign countries regulate rates
on various types of policies. Certain countries have established reinsurance
institutions, wholly or partially owned by the state, to which admitted insurers
are obligated to cede a portion of their business on terms which do not always
allow foreign insurers, including AIG, full compensation. In some countries,
regulations governing constitution of technical reserves and remittance balances
may hinder remittance of profits and repatriation of assets.
The insurance industry is highly competitive. Within the United States,
AIG's general insurance subsidiaries compete with approximately 3,000 other
stock companies, specialty insurance organizations, mutual companies and other
underwriting organizations. AIG's life insurance companies compete in the United
States with some 1,700 life insurance companies and other participants in
related financial service fields. Overseas, AIG subsidiaries compete for
business with foreign insurance operations of the larger U.S. insurers and local
companies in particular areas in which they are active.
AIG's financial services subsidiaries, particularly AIGTG and AIGFP,
operate in a highly competitive environment, both domestically and overseas.
Principal sources of competition are banks, investment banks and other non-bank
financial institutions.

ITEM 2. Properties
AIG and its subsidiaries operate from approximately 360 offices in the United
States, 5 offices in Canada and numerous offices in approximately 100 foreign
countries. The offices in Springfield, Illinois; Houston, Texas; Atlanta,
Georgia; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Wilmington, Delaware; Hato Rey, Puerto Rico;
San Diego, California; Greensboro, North Carolina; Livingston, New Jersey; 70
Pine Street, 72 Wall Street and 175 Water Street in New York City; and offices
in approximately 30 foreign countries including Bermuda, Chile, Hong Kong, the
Philippines, Japan, England, Singapore, Switzerland, Taiwan and Thailand are
located in buildings owned by AIG and its subsidiaries. The remainder of the
office space utilized by AIG subsidiaries is leased.
ITEM 3. Legal Proceedings
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. AIG does not believe that such litigation will have a
material adverse effect on its financial condition, future operating results or
liquidity. (See also the Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated Net Losses and
Loss Expense Reserve Development and Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations.)

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
ITEM 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Operational Review
General Insurance Operations
AIG's general insurance subsidiaries are multiple line companies writing
substantially all lines of property and casualty insurance.
Domestic general insurance operations are comprised of the Domestic
Brokerage Group (DBG), which includes the domestic operations of Transatlantic
Holdings, Inc. (Transatlantic), Personal Lines, including 21st Century Insurance
Group (21st Century), and Mortgage Guaranty.
Commencing with the third quarter of 1998, Transatlantic and 21st Century
were consolidated into AIG's financial statements, as a result of AIG obtaining
majority ownership.
DBG is AIG's primary domestic division. 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.
Personal Lines engages in the mass marketing of personal lines insurance,
primarily private passenger auto and includes homeowners and personal umbrella
coverages.
Mortgage Guaranty provides guaranty insurance on conventional first
mortgage loans on single family dwellings and condominiums.
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 entities. The Foreign General insurance
group also includes business written by AIG's foreign-based insurance
subsidiaries for their own accounts. The Foreign General insurance group uses
various marketing methods to write both business and personal lines insurance
with certain refinements for local laws, customs and needs. AIU operates in over
70 countries in Asia, the Pacific Rim, Europe, Africa, Middle East and Latin
America. Transatlantic's foreign operations are included in this group. (See
also Note 18 of Notes to Financial Statements.)
General insurance operations for the twelve month periods ending December
31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 were as follows:

================================================================================
During the latter part of 1999, the commercial insurance market began to
experience some rate increases. However, this market remains competitive and
excessively capitalized. DBG has been able to sustain some growth in various
specialty markets, such as pollution, excess liability and risk management,
where AIG provides cost effective coverages for large complex risks,
underwriting flexibility, and creative risk financing solutions; however, in
1999 DBG declined to renew $450 million of domestic business where underwriting
and pricing standards could not be achieved. Non-renewed policies were
principally in the workers' compensation, traditional casualty and property
lines of business.
As reflected in the preceding table showing the distribution of net
premiums written and net premiums earned, domestic growth was primarily achieved
through the growth in the personal auto insurance segment of Personal Lines.
Personal Lines net premiums written increased $740 million in 1999 over 1998,
compared to an increase of $610 million in 1998 over 1997. The consolidation of
21st Century for twelve months in 1999 compared to six months in 1998 accounted
for approximately 50 percent of the increase. The balance of the increase was
related to the significant growth in the number of policies issued with respect
to preferred, standard and non-standard auto risks.
Growth of 15.6 percent and 18.0 percent for foreign general insurance net
premiums written and net premiums earned, respectively, in 1999 over 1998
reflect growth of operations in the United Kingdom, the Far East, and the
consolidation of Transatlantic's foreign operations for the twelve months in
1999 compared to six months in 1998. Foreign general insurance operations
produced 34.2 percent of the general insurance net premiums written in 1999,
32.9 percent in 1998 and 32.6 percent in 1997.
Differences in foreign exchange rates during 1999 relative to 1998 had a
negligible effect on foreign general insurance net premiums written when
translated from original currencies into U.S. dollars. (See also the discussion
under "Capital Resources" herein.)
Because of the nature and diversity of AIG's operations and the continuing
rapid changes in the insurance industry worldwide, together with the factors
discussed above, it is difficult to assess further or project future growth in
AIG's net premiums written and reserve for losses and loss expenses.
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 as net premiums
earned until the end of the policy period.
AIG, along with most general insurance entities, uses the loss ratio, the
expense ratio and the combined ratio as measures of performance. The loss ratio
is derived as the sum of losses and loss expenses incurred divided by net
premiums earned. The expense ratio is derived as 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. The statutory general
insurance ratios were as follows:
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1999 1998 1997
================================================================================
Domestic:
Loss Ratio 81.51 84.25 84.44

================================================================================
AIG believes that underwriting profit is the true measure of the
performance of the core business of a general insurance company.
Underwriting profit is measured in two ways: statutory underwriting profit
and Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) underwriting profit.
Statutory underwriting profit is arrived at by reducing net premiums
earned by net losses and loss expenses incurred and net expenses incurred.
Statutory accounting differs from GAAP, as statutory accounting requires
immediate expense recognition and ignores the matching of revenues and expenses
as required by GAAP. That is, for statutory purposes, all expenses, most
specifically acquisition expenses, are recognized immediately, not consistent
with the revenues earned.
17
19
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations (CONTINUED)
A basic premise of GAAP accounting is the recognition of expenses at the
same time revenues are earned, the principle of matching. Therefore, to convert
underwriting results to a GAAP basis, acquisition expenses are deferred and
recognized together with the related revenues. Accordingly, the statutory
underwriting profit has been adjusted as a result of acquisition expenses being
deferred as required by GAAP. Thus, "adjusted underwriting profit" is a GAAP
measurement which can be viewed as gross margin or an intermediate subtotal in
calculating operating income and net income.
A major part of the discipline of a successful general insurance company
is to produce an underwriting profit, exclusive of investment income. If
underwriting is not profitable, losses incurred are a major factor. The result
is that the premiums are inadequate to pay for losses and expenses and produce a
profit; therefore, investment income must be used to cover underwriting losses.
If assets and the income therefrom are insufficient to pay claims and expenses
over extended periods, an insurance company cannot survive. For these reasons,
AIG views and manages its underwriting operations separately from its investment
operations.
The adjusted underwriting profits were $669 million in 1999, $531 million
in 1998 and $490 million in 1997. Domestic adjusted underwriting profit
increased primarily as a result of the disciplined underwriting of DBG. Foreign
underwriting profit declined primarily as a result of catastrophe losses from
European storms. The regulatory, product type and competitive environment as
well as the degree of litigation activity in any one country varies
significantly. These factors have a direct impact on pricing and consequently
profitability as reflected by adjusted underwriting profit and statutory general
insurance ratios. (See also Notes 4 and 18 of Notes to Financial Statements.)
AIG's results reflect the net impact of incurred losses from catastrophes
approximating $156 million in 1999, $110 million in 1998 and $16 million in
1997. AIG's gross incurred losses from catastrophes approximated $472 million in
1999, $625 million in 1998 and $22 million in 1997. In 1999, the catastrophe
losses resulted primarily from European storms. The impact of losses caused by
catastrophes can fluctuate widely from year to year, making comparisons of
recurring type business more difficult. The pro forma table below excludes
catastrophe losses in order to present comparable results of AIG's recurring
core underwriting operations. The pro forma consolidated statutory general
insurance ratios would be as follows:
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AIG's historic ability to maintain its combined ratio below 100 is
primarily attributable to the profitability of AIG's foreign general insurance
operations and AIG's emphasis on maintaining its disciplined underwriting,
especially in the domestic specialty markets. In 1999, the discipline in
domestic underwriting was critical in maintaining underwriting profit as the
foreign general combined ratio rose because of the impact of catastrophe losses.
In addition, AIG does not seek net premium growth where rates do not adequately
reflect its assessment of exposures.
General insurance net investment income in 1999 increased 14.8 percent
when compared to 1998. In 1998, net investment income increased 18.3 percent
over 1997. The growth in net investment income in each of the three years was
primarily attributable to new cash flow for investment and the consolidation of
Transatlantic and 21st Century for twelve months in 1999 compared to six months
in 1998. The new cash flow was generated from net general insurance operating
cash flow and included the compounding of previously earned and reinvested net
investment income. (See also the discussion under "Liquidity" herein and Note 8
of Notes to Financial Statements.)
General insurance realized capital gains were $295 million in 1999, $205
million in 1998 and $128 million in 1997. These realized gains resulted from the
ongoing management of the general insurance investment portfolios within the
overall objectives of the general insurance operations and arose primarily from
the disposition of equity securities and available for sale fixed maturities as
well as redemptions of fixed maturities.
General insurance operating income in 1999 increased 18.9 percent when
compared to 1998. The 1998 results reflect an increase of 18.4 percent from
1997. The contribution of general insurance operating income to income before
income taxes and minority interest was 46.3 percent in 1999 compared to 46.6
percent in 1998 and 1997.
AIG is a major purchaser of reinsurance for its general insurance
operations. 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. AIG insures risks in over 70 countries and its
reinsurance programs must be coordinated in order to provide AIG the level of
reinsurance protection that AIG desires. These reinsurance arrangements do not
relieve AIG from its direct obligations to its insureds.
AIG's general reinsurance assets amounted to $19.13 billion and resulted
from AIG's reinsurance arrangements. Thus, a credit exposure existed at December
31, 1999 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, 1999, approximately 50 percent of the general
reinsurance assets were from unauthorized reinsurers. In order to obtain
statutory recogni-
18

tion, nearly all of these balances were collateralized. The remaining 50 percent
of the general reinsurance assets were from authorized reinsurers and over 95
percent of such balances are from reinsurers rated A-(excellent) or better, as
rated by A.M. Best. This rating is a measure of financial strength. The terms
authorized and unauthorized pertain to regulatory categories, not
creditworthiness.
AIG maintains an allowance for estimated unrecoverable reinsurance and has
been largely successful in its previous recovery efforts. At December 31, 1999,
AIG had allowances for unrecoverable reinsurance approximating $78 million. At
that date, and prior to this allowance, AIG had no significant reinsurance
recoverables from any individual reinsurer which is 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 the local economic environment in which a foreign
reinsurer operates. This department also reviews the nature of the risks ceded
and the need for collateral. In addition, AIG's Credit Risk Committee reviews
the credit limits for and concentrations with any one reinsurer.
AIG enters into certain intercompany reinsurance transactions for its
general and life operations. AIG enters these transactions as a sound and
prudent business practice in order to maintain underwriting control and spread
insurance risk among various legal entities. These reinsurance agreements have
been approved by the appropriate regulatory authorities. All material
intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
At December 31, 1999, the consolidated general reinsurance assets of
$19.13 billion include reinsurance recoverables for paid losses and loss
expenses of $2.54 billion and $13.65 billion with respect to the ceded reserve
for losses and loss expenses, including ceded losses incurred but not reported
(IBNR) (ceded reserves). 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. Any adjustments
therefrom are reflected in income currently. It is AIG's belief that the ceded
reserves at December 31, 1999 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 December 31, 1999, general insurance reserves for losses and loss
expenses (loss reserves) amounted to $38.25 billion. These loss reserves
represent the accumulation of estimates of ultimate losses, including IBNR, and
loss expenses and amounts of discounting related to certain workers'
compensation claims. At December 31, 1999, general insurance net loss reserves
decreased $19 million from prior year end to $24.60 billion. The decrease was
primarily attributable to the change in the mix of business. That is, claims
with respect to personal lines increased relative to commercial lines. Thus, the
subsequent payment of these personal lines claims is significantly faster as
these claims are deemed short tail lines, as described below. The net loss
reserves represent loss reserves reduced by reinsurance recoverables, net of an
allowance for unrecoverable reinsurance. The methods used to determine such
estimates and to establish the resulting reserves are continually reviewed and
updated. Any adjustments resulting therefrom are reflected in operating income
currently. It is management's belief that the general insurance net loss
reserves are adequate to cover all general insurance net losses and loss
expenses as at December 31, 1999. In the future, if the general insurance net
loss reserves develop deficiently, such deficiency would have an adverse impact
on such future results of operations.
In a very broad sense, the general loss reserves can be categorized into
two distinct groups: one group being long tail casualty lines of business. Such
lines include excess and umbrella liability, directors and officers' liability,
professional liability, medical malpractice, general liability, products'
liability, and related classes. These lines account for approximately one-half
of net losses and loss expenses. The other group is short tail lines of business
consisting principally of property lines, certain classes of casualty lines and
includes personal lines.
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. In the more
recent accident years of long tail casualty lines there is limited statistical
credibility in reported net losses. That is, a relatively low proportion of net
losses would be reported claims and expenses and an even smaller proportion
would be net losses paid. A relatively high proportion of net losses would
therefore be IBNR.
A variety of actuarial methods and assumptions are normally employed to
estimate net losses for long tail casualty lines. These methods ordinarily
involve the use of loss trend factors intended to reflect the estimated annual
growth in loss costs from one accident year to the next. 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 and current and future estimates of monetary inflation and
social inflation. Thus, many factors are implicitly considered in estimating the
year to year growth in loss costs. Therefore, AIG's carried net long tail loss
reserves are judgmentally set as well as tested for reasonableness using the
most appropriate loss trend factors for each class of business. In the
evaluation of AIG's net loss reserves, loss trend factors vary slightly,
depending on the particular class and nature of the business involved. These
factors are periodically reviewed and subsequently adjusted, as appropriate, to
reflect emerging trends which are based upon past loss experience.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations (CONTINUED)
Estimation of net losses for short tail business is less complex than for
long tail casualty lines. Loss cost trends for many property lines can generally
be assumed to be similar to the growth in exposure of such lines. For example,
if the fire insurance coverage remained proportional to the actual value of the
property, the growth in property's exposure to fire loss can be approximated by
the amount of insurance purchased.
For other property and short tail casualty lines, the loss trend is
implicitly assumed to grow at the rate that reported net losses grow from one
year to the next. The concerns noted above for longer tail casualty lines with
respect to the limited statistical credibility of reported net losses generally
do not apply to shorter tail lines.
AIG continues to receive 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 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. AIG established a
specialized claims unit which investigates and adjusts all such asbestos and
environmental claims. Commencing in 1985, standard policies contained an
absolute exclusion for pollution related damage. However, AIG currently
underwrites environmental impairment liability insurance on a claims made basis
and excluded such claims from the analyses included herein.
Estimation of asbestos and environmental claims loss reserves is a
difficult process. These asbestos and environmental claims cannot be estimated
by conventional reserving techniques as previously described. Quantitative
techniques frequently have to be supplemented by subjective considerations
including managerial judgment. Significant factors which affect the trends which
influence the development of asbestos and environmental claims 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 exposure for
cleanup costs of hazardous waste dump sites involves issues such as allocation
of responsibility among potentially responsible parties and the government's
refusal to release parties. The cleanup cost exposure may significantly change
if the Congressional reauthorization of Superfund dramatically changes, thereby
reducing or increasing litigation and cleanup costs. Additionally, proposed
legislation, if passed in current form, would be expected to reduce ultimate
asbestos exposure.
In the interim, AIG and other industry members have and will continue to
litigate the broadening judicial interpretation of the policy coverage and the
liability issues. At the current time, it is not possible to determine the
future development of asbestos and environmental claims with the same degree of
reliability as is the case for other types of claims. Such 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
changes in Superfund and waste dump site coverage issues. Although the estimated
liabilities for these claims are subject to a significantly greater margin of
error than for other claims, the reserves carried for these claims at December
31, 1999 are believed to be adequate as these reserves are based on the known
facts and current law. Furthermore, as AIG's net exposure retained relative to
the gross exposure written was lower in 1984 and prior years, the potential
impact of these claims is much smaller on the net loss reserves than on the
gross loss reserves. (See the previous discussion on reinsurance collectibility
herein.)
The 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.
A summary of reserve activity, including estimates for applicable IBNR,
relating to asbestos and environmental claims separately and combined at
December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 follows. The 1999 and 1998 reserve activity
includes Transatlantic.

A.M. Best, an insurance rating agency, has developed a survival ratio to
measure the number of years it would take a company to exhaust both its asbestos
and environmental reserves for losses and loss expenses based on that company's
current level of asbestos and environmental claims payments. This is a ratio
derived by taking the current ending losses and loss expense reserves and
dividing by the average annual payments for the prior three years. Therefore,
the ratio derived is a simplistic measure of an estimate of the number of years
it would be before the current ending losses and loss expense reserves would be
paid off using recent average payments. The higher the ratio, the more years the
reserves for losses and loss expenses cover these claims payments. These ratios
are computed based on the ending reserves for losses and loss expenses over the
respective claims settlements during the fiscal year. Such payments include
indemnity payments and legal and loss adjustment payments. It should be noted,
however, that this is an extremely simplistic approach to measuring asbestos and
environmental reserve levels. Many factors, such as aggressive settlement
procedures, mix of business and level of coverage provided, have significant
impact on the amount of asbestos and environmental losses and loss expense
reserves, ultimate payments thereof and the resultant ratio.
The developed survival ratios include both involuntary and voluntary
indemnity payments. Involuntary payments are primarily attributable to court
judgments, court orders, covered claims with no coverage defenses, state
mandated cleanup costs, claims where AIG's coverage defenses are minimal, and
settlements made less than six months before trial. Also, AIG considers all
legal and loss adjustment payments as involuntary.
AIG believes voluntary indemnity payments should be excluded from the
survival ratio. The special asbestos and environmental claims unit actively
manages AIG's asbestos and environmental claims and proactively pursues early
settlement of environmental claims for all known and unknown sites. As a result,
AIG reduces its exposure to future environmental loss contingencies.
AIG's survival ratios for involuntary asbestos and environmental claims,
separately and combined, were based upon a three year average payment. These
ratios for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 were as follows:

AIG's operations are negatively impacted under guarantee fund assessment
laws which exist in most states. As a result of operating in a state which has
guarantee fund assessment laws, a solvent insurance company may be assessed for
certain obligations arising from the insolvencies of other insurance companies
which operated in that state. AIG generally records these assessments upon
notice. Additionally, certain states permit at least a portion of the assessed
amount to be used as a credit against a company's future premium tax
liabilities. Therefore, the ultimate net assessment cannot reasonably be
estimated. The guarantee fund assessments net of credits for 1999, 1998 and 1997
were $15 million, $16 million and $15 million, respectively.
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.
Life Insurance Operations
AIG's life insurance subsidiaries offer a wide range of traditional insurance
and financial and investment products. Traditional products consist of
individual and group life, annuity, endowment and accident and health policies.
Financial and investment products consist of single premium annuity, variable
annuities, guaranteed investment contracts, universal life and pensions.
AIG's three principal overseas life operations are American Life Insurance
Company (ALICO), American International Assurance Company, Limited together with
American International Assurance Company (Bermuda) Limited (AIA) and Nan Shan
Life Insurance Company, Ltd. (Nan Shan). ALICO is incorporated in Delaware and
all of its business is written outside of the United States. ALICO has
operations either directly or through subsidiaries in approximately 50

countries located in Europe, Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean, the Middle
East, and the Far East, with Japan being the largest territory. AIA operates
primarily in Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. Nan Shan operates in
Taiwan. AIG's domestic life operations are comprised of two separate operations,
AIG's domestic life companies and the life insurance subsidiaries of SunAmerica
Inc. (SunAmerica), a Delaware corporation which owns substantially all of the
subsidiaries which were owned by SunAmerica Inc., the Maryland corporation which
was merged into AIG in January 1999. Both of these operations sell primarily
financial and investment type products. (See also Note 18 of Notes to Financial

AIG's life premium income in 1999 represented a 16.0 percent increase from
the prior year. This compares with an increase of 3.4 percent in 1998 over 1997.
Foreign life operations produced 92.1 percent, 92.4 percent and 94.1 percent of
the life premium income in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. (See also Notes 1,
4 and 6 of Notes to Financial Statements.)
The traditional life products, particularly individual life products, were
major contributors to the growth in foreign premium income and resulting
investment income, particularly in those countries in which AIA and Nan Shan
operate. A mixture of traditional, accident and health and financial products
are being sold in Japan through ALICO.
Differences in foreign exchange rates during 1999 relative to 1998 had a
negligible effect on foreign life premium income when translated from original
currencies into U.S. dollars.
Life insurance net investment income increased 19.3 percent in 1999
compared to an increase of 15.0 percent in 1998. The growth in net investment
income in 1999 and 1998 was attributable to both foreign and domestic new cash
flow for investment. The new cash flow was generated from life insurance
operations and included the compounding of previously earned and reinvested net
investment income. (See also the discussion under "Liquidity" herein.)
Life insurance realized capital losses were $148 million in 1999, $74
million in 1998 and $9 million in 1997. These realized capital losses resulted
from the ongoing management of the life insurance investment portfolios within
the overall objectives of the life insurance operations and arose primarily from
the disposition of equity securities and available for sale fixed maturities as
well as redemptions of fixed maturities.
Life insurance operating income in 1999 increased 20.5 percent to $2.86
billion compared to an increase of 15.9 percent in 1998. Excluding realized
capital gains and losses from life insurance operating income, the percent
increases would be 22.8 percent and 19.0 percent in 1999 and 1998, respectively.
The contribution of life insurance operating income to income before income
taxes and minority interest amounted to 38.0 percent in 1999 compared to 37.8
percent in 1998 and 38.6 percent in 1997.
The risks associated with the traditional life and accident and health
products are underwriting risk and investment risk. The risk associated with the
financial and investment contract products is investment risk.
Underwriting risk represents the exposure to loss resulting from the
actual policy experience adversely emerging in comparison to the assumptions
made in the product pricing associated with mortality, morbidity, termination
and expenses. AIG's life companies limit their maximum underwriting exposure on
traditional life insurance of a single life to approximately one million dollars
of coverage by using yearly renewable term reinsurance. (See also Note 5 of
Notes to Financial Statements.)
The investment risk represents the exposure to loss resulting from the
cash flows from the invested assets, primarily long-term fixed rate investments,
being less than the cash flows required to meet the obligations of the expected
policy and contract liabilities and the necessary return on investments.
To minimize its exposure to investment risk, AIG tests the cash flows from
the invested assets and the policy and contract liabilities using various
interest rate scenarios to assess whether there is a liquidity excess or
deficit. If a rebalancing of the invested assets to the policy and contract
claims became necessary and did not occur, a demand could be placed upon
liquidity. (See also the discussion under "Liquidity" herein.)
The asset-liability relationship is appropriately managed in AIG's foreign
operations, as it has been throughout AIG's history, even though certain
territories lack qualified long-term

Management's Discussion and Analysis of

investments or there are investment restrictions imposed by the local regulatory
authorities. For example, in Japan and several Southeast Asia territories, the
duration of the investments is often for a shorter period than the effective
maturity of 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. At December 31, 1999, the average duration of the investment
portfolio in Japan was 5.6 years.
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. With respect to the
investment of these future premium receipts, the average maturity is estimated
to be 6.0 years. These durations compare with an estimated average duration of
9.4 years for the corresponding policy liabilities. To maintain an adequate
yield to match the interest necessary to support future policy liabilities,
constant management focus is required to reinvest the proceeds of the maturing
securities and to invest the future premium receipts without sacrificing
investment quality. To the extent permitted under local regulation, AIG may
invest in qualified longer-term securities outside Japan to achieve a closer
matching in both duration and the required yield. AIG is able to manage any
asset-liability duration difference through maintenance of sufficient global
liquidity and to support any operational shortfall through its international
financial network. Domestically, active monitoring assures appropriate
asset-liability matching as there are investments available to match the
duration and the required yield. (See also the discussion under "Liquidity"
herein.)
AIG uses asset-liability matching as a management tool to determine the
composition of the invested assets and marketing strategies. As a part of these
strategies, AIG may determine that it is economically advantageous to be
temporarily in an unmatched position due to anticipated interest rate or other
economic changes.
Financial Services Operations
AIG's financial services subsidiaries engage in diversified financial products
and services including premium financing, banking services and consumer finance
services.
International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC) engages primarily in the
acquisition of new and used commercial jet aircraft and the leasing and
remarketing of such aircraft to airlines around the world. (See also Note 18 of
Notes to Financial Statements.)
AIG Financial Products Corp. and its subsidiaries (AIGFP) structure
financial transactions, including long-dated interest rate and currency swaps
and structured borrowings through notes, bonds and guaranteed investment
agreements. (See also Note 18 of Notes to Financial Statements.)
AIG Trading Group Inc. and its subsidiaries (AIGTG) engage in various
commodities trading, foreign exchange trading, interest rate swaps and market
making activities. (See also Note 18 of Notes to Financial Statements.)
Financial services operations for the twelve month periods ending December

Financial services operating income increased 24.4 percent in 1999 over
1998. This compares with an increase of 29.5 percent in 1998 over 1997.
Financial services operating income represented 14.4 percent of AIG's
income before income taxes and minority interest in 1999. This compares to 13.8
percent and 12.6 percent in 1998 and 1997, respectively.
ILFC 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. Revenues in 1999 increased 9.6 percent from 1998
compared to a 7.8 percent increase during 1998 from 1997. The revenue growth in
each year resulted primarily from the increase in flight equipment available for
operating lease, the increase in the relative cost of the leased fleet and the
increase in the relative composition of the fleet with wide bodies which
typically receive higher lease payments. Approximately 20 percent of ILFC's
operating lease revenues are derived from U.S. and Canadian airlines. During
1999, operating income increased 19.0 percent from 1998 and 29.6 percent during
1998 from 1997. ILFC finances its purchases of aircraft primarily through the
issuance of a variety of debt instruments. The composite borrowing rates at
December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 were 6.14 percent, 6.03 percent and 6.44
percent, respectively. (See also the discussions under "Capital Resources" and
"Liquidity" herein and Note 18 of Notes to Financial Statements.)

American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
ILFC is exposed to loss through non-performance of aircraft lessees,
through owning aircraft which it would be unable to sell or re-lease at
acceptable rates at lease expiration and through committing to purchase aircraft
which it would be unable to lease. ILFC manages its lessee non-performance
exposure through credit reviews and security deposit requirements. At December
31, 1999, there were 336 aircraft subject to operating leases and there were two
aircraft off lease. Both aircraft were re-leased in early 2000. (See also the
discussions under "Capital Resources" and "Liquidity" herein.)
AIGFP participates in the derivatives dealer market conducting, primarily
as principal, an interest rate, currency, equity and credit derivative products
business. AIGFP also enters into structured transactions including long-dated
forward foreign exchange contracts, option transactions, liquidity facilities
and investment agreements and invests in a diversified portfolio of securities.
AIGFP derives substantially all its revenues from proprietary positions entered
in connection with counterparty transactions rather than from speculative
transactions. Revenues in 1999 increased 33.9 percent from 1998 compared to a
21.7 percent increase during 1998 from 1997. During 1999, operating income
increased 49.4 percent from 1998 and increased 34.0 percent during 1998 from
1997. As AIGFP is a transaction-oriented operation, current and past revenues
and operating results may not provide a basis for predicting future performance.
(See also the discussions under "Capital Resources," "Liquidity" and
"Derivatives" herein and Note 18 of Notes to Financial Statements.)
AIGTG derives a substantial portion of their revenues from market making
and trading activities, as principals, in foreign exchange, interest rates and
precious and base metals. Revenues in 1999 decreased 39.2 percent from 1998
compared to a 33.5 percent decrease during 1998 from 1997. During 1999,
operating income decreased 11.4 percent from 1998 compared to a 2.4 percent
decrease during 1998 from 1997. The declines in 1999 and 1998 relative to 1997
resulted primarily from the decline in trading volume during those years,
particularly as a result of less volatile foreign exchange markets. As AIGTG is
a transaction-oriented operation, current and past revenues and operating
results may not provide a basis for predicting future performance or for
comparing revenues to operating income. (See also the discussions under "Capital
Resources," "Liquidity" and "Derivatives" herein and Note 18 of Notes to
Financial Statements.)
In December 1997, AIGTG sold its energy operations. The sale of these
operations did not have a significant impact on AIG's results of operations.
AIG Consumer Finance Group, Inc., through its subsidiaries, is engaged in
developing a multi-product consumer finance business with an emphasis on
emerging markets.
Asset Management Operations
AIG's asset management operations offer a wide variety of investment vehicles
and services, including variable annuities, mutual funds, and investment asset
management. Such products and services are offered to individuals and
institutions both domestically and internationally.
AIG's three principal asset management operations are SunAmerica's asset
management operations (SAAMCo), AIG Global Investment Group, Inc. and its
subsidiaries (Global Investment) and AIG Capital Partners, Inc. (Cap Partners).
SAAMCo develops and sells variable annuities and other investment products,
sells and manages mutual funds and provides financial services. Global
Investment manages invested assets of institutions, including insurance
companies and pension funds, and provides custodial services. Cap Partners
organizes, and manages the invested assets of institutional investment funds and
may also invest in such funds. Each of these subsidiary operations receives fees
for investment products and services provided.
Asset management operations for the twelve month periods ending December
31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 were as follows:
(in millions)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1999 1998 1997
================================================================================
Revenues $ 985 $ 707 $ 555
Operating income 314 191 127
================================================================================
These increases were primarily attributable to increased fees from the
management of the variable annuity business and mutual fund assets by SAAMCo.
Asset management operating income increased 64.3 percent in 1999 over
1998. This compares with an increase of 50.4 percent in 1998 over 1997.
Asset management operating income represented 4.2 percent of AIG's income
before income taxes and minority interest in 1999. This compares to 3.0 percent
and 2.4 percent in 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Other Operations
In 1998, AIG's equity in income of minority-owned insurance operations was $57
million compared to $114 million in 1997. In 1998, the equity interest in
insurance companies represented 0.9 percent of income before income taxes and
minority interest compared to 2.1 percent in 1997. In 1999, AIG did not report
equity in income of minority-owned insurance operations as a result of the
consolidation of Transatlantic's and SELIC Holdings, Ltd. operations into
general insurance operating results. IPC Holdings, Ltd., the remaining operation
included in equity in income of minority-owned insurance operations in previous
periods is now reported as a component of other income (deductions)--net.
Other realized capital losses amounted to $25 million, $7 million and $29
million in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations (CONTINUED)
Other income (deductions)--net includes AIG's equity in certain minor
majority-owned subsidiaries and certain partially-owned companies, realized
foreign exchange transaction gains and losses in substantially all currencies
and unrealized gains and losses in hyperinflationary currencies, costs
associated with the Year 2000 computer issues, as well as the income and
expenses of the parent holding company and other miscellaneous income and
expenses. In 1999, net deductions amounted to $197 million. In 1998 and 1997,
net deductions amounted to $134 million and $93 million, respectively. (See also
the discussion under "Recent Developments" herein.)
Income before income taxes and minority interest amounted to $7.51 billion
in 1999, $6.28 billion in 1998 and $5.31 billion in 1997.
In 1999, AIG recorded a provision for income taxes of $2.22 billion
compared to the provisions of $1.79 billion and $1.53 billion in 1998 and 1997,
respectively. These provisions represent effective tax rates of 29.5 percent in
1999, 28.4 percent in 1998 and 28.7 percent in 1997. (See Note 3 of Notes to
Financial Statements.)
Minority interest represents minority shareholders' equity in income of
certain majority-owned consolidated subsidiaries. Minority interest amounted to
$238 million, $210 million and $74 million in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
The increase in 1998 from 1997 was primarily related to the minority
shareholders' equity resulting when Transatlantic and 21st Century were
consolidated during 1998.
Net income amounted to $5.06 billion in 1999, $4.28 billion in 1998 and
$3.71 billion in 1997. The increases in net income over the three year period
resulted from those factors described above.
Capital Resources
At December 31, 1999, AIG had total capital funds of $33.31 billion and total
borrowings of $32.98 billion. At that date, $29.65 billion of such borrowings
were either not guaranteed by AIG or were matched borrowings under obligations
of guaranteed investment agreements (GIAs) or matched notes and bonds payable.
Total borrowings and borrowings not guaranteed or matched at December 31,
1999 and 1998 were as follows:

See also Note 9 of Notes to Financial Statements.
During 1999, AIGFP increased the aggregate principal amount outstanding of
its notes and bonds payable to $7.90 billion. 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 funds may also be
temporarily invested in securities purchased under agreements to resell. (See
also the discussions under "Operational Review", "Liquidity" and "Derivatives"
herein and Notes 1, 8, 9, 12 and 18 of Notes to Financial Statements.)
AIG Funding, Inc. (Funding), through the issuance of commercial paper,
fulfills the short-term cash requirements of AIG and its non-insurance
subsidiaries. Funding intends to continue to meet AIG's funding requirements
through the issuance of commercial paper guaranteed by AIG. This issuance of
Funding's commercial paper is subject to the approval of AIG's Board of
Directors. ILFC, A.I. Credit Corp.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
(AICCO) and AIG Finance (Taiwan) Limited (AIGF - Taiwan), a consumer finance
subsidiary, issue commercial paper for the funding of their own operations. AIG
does not guarantee AICCO's, ILFC's or AIGF - Taiwan's commercial paper. However,
AIG has entered into an agreement in support of AICCO's commercial paper. From
time to time, AIGFP may issue commercial paper, which AIG guarantees, to fund
its operations. At December 31, 1999, AIGFP had no commercial paper outstanding.
(See also the discussion under "Derivatives" herein and Note 9 of Notes to
Financial Statements.)
AIG and Funding have entered into two syndicated revolving credit
facilities (the Facilities) aggregating $1 billion. The Facilities consist of a
$500 million 364 day revolving credit facility and a $500 million five year
revolving credit facility. The Facilities can be used for general corporate
purposes and also provide backup for AIG's commercial paper programs
administered by Funding. There are currently no borrowings outstanding under
either of the Facilities, nor were any borrowings outstanding as of December 31,
1999.
During 1999, AIG issued $152 million principal amount of Medium Term Notes
and $108 million of previously issued notes matured.
At December 31, 1999, AIG had $356 million in aggregate principal amount
of debt securities registered for issuance from time to time. An additional $658
million principal amount of debt securities was registered as of March 3, 2000.
At December 31, 1999, ILFC had increased the aggregate principal amount
outstanding of its medium term and term notes to $8.24 billion, a net increase
of $1.07 billion, and recorded a net decline in its capital lease obligations of
$141 million and a net decrease in its commercial paper of $246 million. At
December 31, 1999, ILFC had $1.68 billion in aggregate principal amount of debt
securities registered for issuance from time to time. In addition, ILFC
established a Euro Medium Term Note Program for $2.0 billion, under which $771
million in notes were sold through December 31, 1999.
ILFC has an Export Credit Facility up to a maximum of $4.3 billion, for
approximately 75 aircraft to be delivered from 1999 through 2001. ILFC has the
right, but is not required, to use the facility to fund 85 percent of each
aircraft's purchase price. This facility is guaranteed by various European
Export Credit Agencies. The interest rate varies from 5.75 percent to 5.90
percent on the first 75 aircraft depending on the delivery date of the aircraft.
Through March 8, 2000, ILFC borrowed $1.50 billion under this facility.
Borrowings with respect to this facility are included in Notes and Bonds Payable
in the accompanying table of borrowings.
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. (See also the discussions
under "Operational Review" and "Liquidity" herein.)
AIG's capital funds increased $3.18 billion during 1999. Unrealized
appreciation of investments, net of taxes decreased $1.65 billion. During 1999,
the cumulative translation adjustment loss, net of taxes, increased $447
million. The change from year to year with respect to the unrealized
appreciation of investments, net of taxes was primarily impacted by the rise in
domestic interest rates. The cumulative translation adjustment loss, net of
taxes was primarily impacted by the general strength in the U.S. dollar relative
to certain currencies in Southeast Asia and South America. (See also the
discussion under "Operational Review" and "Liquidity" herein.) Retained earnings
increased $3.93 billion, resulting from net income less dividends.
During 1999 and prior to the five for four split in the form of a 25
percent common stock dividend, AIG repurchased in the open market 931,000 shares
of its common stock. Subsequent to the common stock dividend, AIG repurchased
11,633,200 shares of its common stock. AIG intends to continue to buy its common
shares in the open market for general corporate purposes, including to satisfy
its obligations under various employee benefit plans.
Payments of dividends to AIG by its insurance subsidiaries are subject to
certain restrictions imposed by statutory authorities. AIG has in the past
reinvested most of its unrestricted earnings in its operations and believes such
continued reinvestment in the future will be adequate to meet any foreseeable
capital needs. However, AIG may choose from time to time to raise additional
funds through the issuance of additional securities. At December 31, 1999, there
were no significant statutory or regulatory issues which would impair AIG's
financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. To AIG's knowledge, no
AIG company is on any regulatory or similar "watch list". (See also the
discussion under "Liquidity" herein and Note 11 of Notes to Financial
Statements.)
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. At
December 31, 1999, the adjusted capital of each of AIG's domestic general
companies and of each of AIG's domestic life companies exceeded each of their
RBC standards by considerable margins.
A substantial portion of AIG's general insurance business and a majority
of its life insurance business are conducted in foreign countries. The degree of
regulation and supervision in foreign jurisdictions varies from minimal in some
to stringent in others. Generally, AIG, as well as the underwriting companies
operating in such jurisdictions, must satisfy local regulatory requirements.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations (CONTINUED)
Liquidity
AIG's liquidity is primarily derived from the operating cash flows of its
general and life insurance operations.
At December 31, 1999, AIG's consolidated invested assets included $7.14
billion of cash and short-term investments. Consolidated net cash provided from
operating activities in 1999 amounted to $10.32 billion.
Sources of funds considered in meeting the objectives of AIG's financial
services operations include guaranteed investment agreements, issuance of long
and short-term debt, maturities and sales of securities available for sale,
securities sold under repurchase agreements, trading liabilities, securities and
spot commodities sold but not yet purchased, issuance of equity, and cash
provided from such operations. AIG's strong capital position is integral to
managing this liquidity, as it enables AIG to raise funds in diverse markets
worldwide. (See also the discussions under "Capital Resources" herein.)
Management believes that AIG's liquid assets, its net cash provided by
operations, and access to the capital markets will enable it to meet any
foreseeable cash requirements.
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. In the
aggregate, AIG's insurance operations generated approximately $18 billion in
pre-tax cash flow during 1999. Cash flow includes periodic premium collections,
including policyholders' contract deposits, paid loss recoveries less
reinsurance premiums, losses, benefits, 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. AIG's insurance investment operations generated approximately
$8.6 billion in investment income cash flow during 1999. Investment income cash
flow is primarily derived from interest and dividends received and includes
realized capital gains net of realized capital losses.
In addition to the combined insurance pre-tax operating cash flow, AIG's
insurance operations held $6.69 billion in cash and short-term investments at
December 31, 1999. The aforementioned 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 high quality
and diversified fixed income securities and to a lesser extent equity securities
and to provide mortgage loans on real estate, policy loans and collateral loans.
This cash flow coupled with proceeds of approximately $40 billion from the
maturities, sales and redemptions of fixed income securities and from the sale
of equity securities was used to purchase approximately $54 billion of fixed
income securities and equity securities during 1999.
The following table is a summary of AIG's invested assets by significant
segment, including investment income due and accrued of $2.05 billion and $1.87
billion and real estate of $1.62 billion and $1.61 billion, at December 31, 1999
and 1998, respectively:

Generally, insurance regulations restrict the types of assets in which an
insurance company may invest.
With respect to fixed maturities, AIG's general strategy is to invest 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
maturities to maximize the yields at the date of purchase. With respect to life
insurance, AIG's strategy is to produce cash flows required to meet maturing
insurance liabilities (See also the discussion under "Operational Review: Life
Insurance Operations" herein.)
The fixed maturity available for sale portfolio is subject to decline in
fair value as interest rates rise. Such declines in fair value are presented as
a component of comprehensive income in unrealized appreciation of investments,
net of taxes.
The fixed maturities held to maturity portfolio is exposed to adverse
interest rate fluctuations. However, AIG has the ability and intent to hold such
securities to maturity.
Therefore, there would be no detrimental impact to AIG's results of
operations or financial condition as a result of such fluctuations.
At December 31, 1999, approximately 59.8 percent of the fixed maturities
investments were domestic securities. Approximately 36 percent of such domestic
securities were rated AAA. Approximately 12 percent were below investment grade
or not rated.
A significant portion of the foreign insurance fixed income portfolio is
rated by Moody's, Standard & Poor's (S&P) or similar foreign services. Similar
credit quality rating services are not available in all overseas locations. AIG
annually reviews the credit quality of the foreign portfolio nonrated fixed
income investments, including mortgages. At December 31, 1999, approximately 15
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 13 percent were below investment grade or not
rated at that date. A large portion of these fixed maturity securities are
sovereign fixed maturity securities supporting the policy liabilities in the
country of issuance.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations (CONTINUED)
At December 31, 1999, approximately 17 percent of the fixed maturities
portfolio was collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs), including minor
amounts with respect to commercial mortgage backed securities. Substantially all
of the CMOs were investment grade and approximately 18 percent of the CMOs were
backed by various U.S. government agencies. CMOs are exposed to interest rate
risk as the duration and ultimate realized yield would be affected by the
accelerated prepayments of the underlying mortgages.
Any fixed income security may be subject to downgrade for a variety of
reasons subsequent to any balance sheet date.
AIG invests in equities for reasons including diversifying its overall
exposure to interest rate risk. Equity securities are subject to declines in
fair value. Such declines in fair value are presented in unrealized appreciation
of investments, net of taxes as components of comprehensive income.
Mortgage loans on real estate, policy and collateral loans comprised 8.3
percent of AIG's insurance invested assets at December 31, 1999. AIG's insurance
operations' holdings of real estate mortgages amounted to $6.64 billion of which
74.6 percent was domestic. At December 31, 1999, only a nominal amount were in
default. It is AIG's practice to maintain a maximum loan to value ratio of 75
percent at loan origination. At December 31, 1999, AIG's insurance holdings of
collateral loans amounted to $1.03 billion, all of which were foreign. It is
AIG's strategy to enter into mortgage and collateral loans as an adjunct
primarily to life insurance fixed maturity investments. AIG's policy loans
increased from $2.63 billion at December 31, 1998 to $2.82 billion at December
31, 1999.
Short-term investments represent amounts invested in various internal and
external money market funds, time deposits and cash held.
AIG's real estate investment properties are primarily occupied by AIG's
various operations. The current market value of these properties considerably
exceeds their carrying value.
Other invested assets were primarily comprised of both foreign and
domestic private placements, limited partnerships and outside managed funds.
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. To
date, such activities have not been significant. (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. These barriers generally cause only minor delays in the outward
remittance of the funds.
AIG's insurance operations are exposed to market risk. Market risk is the
risk of loss of fair value resulting from adverse fluctuations in interest and
foreign currency exchange rates and equity prices.
Measuring potential losses in fair values has recently become the focus of
risk management efforts by many companies. Such measurements are performed
through the application of various statistical techniques. One such technique is
Value at Risk (VaR). VaR is a summary statistical measure that uses historical
interest and foreign currency exchange rates and equity prices and estimates the
volatility and correlation of each of these rates and prices to calculate the
maximum loss that could occur over a defined period of time given a certain
probability.
AIG believes that statistical models alone do not provide a reliable
method of monitoring and controlling market risk. 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. Therefore, such models are tools and do not substitute for the
experience or judgment of senior management.
AIG has performed a VaR analysis to estimate the maximum potential loss of
fair value for each of AIG's insurance segments and for each market risk within
each insurance segment. In this analysis, financial instrument assets include
the domestic and foreign invested assets excluding real estate and investment
income due and accrued. Financial instrument liabilities include reserve for
losses and loss expenses, reserve for unearned premiums, future policy benefits
for life and accident and health insurance contracts and policyholders' funds.
Due to the nature of each insurance segment, AIG manages the general and
life insurance operations separately. As a result, AIG manages separately the
invested assets of each. Accordingly, the VaR analysis was separately performed
for the general and the life insurance operations.
AIG calculated the VaR with respect to the net fair value of each of AIG's
insurance segments as of December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998. These
calculations used the variance-covariance (delta-normal) methodology. These
calculations also used daily historical interest and foreign currency exchange
rates and equity prices in the two years ending December 31, 1999 and 1998, as
applicable. The VaR model estimated the volatility of each of these rates,
equity prices and the correlations among them. For interest rates, each
country's yield curve was constructed using eleven separate points on this curve
to model possible curve movements. Inter-country correlations were also used.
The redemption experience of municipal and corporate fixed maturities and
mortgage securities was taken into account as well as the use of financial
modeling. Thus, the
30
32
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
VaR measured the sensitivity of the asset and the liability portfolios of each
of the aforementioned market exposures. Each sensitivity was estimated
separately to capture the market exposures within each insurance segment. These
sensitivities were then applied to a database, which contained both historical
ranges of movements in all market factors and the correlations among them. The
results were aggregated to provide a single amount that depicts the maximum
potential loss in fair value at a confidence level of 95 percent for a time
period of one month. At December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998 the VaR of AIG's
insurance segments was approximately $863 million and $760 million for general
insurance, respectively and $1.19 billion and $981 million for life insurance,
respectively. The average VaR for 1999 for each of AIG's insurance segments was
approximately $831 million for general insurance and $1.10 billion for life
insurance. The high and low VaRs for general insurance during 1999 were
approximately $891 million and $776 million, respectively. The high and low VaRs
for life insurance during 1999 were approximately $1.19 billion and $1.05
billion, respectively.
The following table presents the VaR of each component of market risk for
each of AIG's insurance segments as of December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998.
VaR with respect to combined operations cannot be derived by aggregating the
individual risk or segment amounts presented herein.

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 1999, ILFC acquired
flight equipment costing $3.37 billion.
At December 31, 1999, ILFC had committed to purchase 331 aircraft
deliverable from 2000 through 2007 at an estimated aggregate purchase price of
$16.4 billion and had options to purchase 83 aircraft deliverable from 2000
through 2007 at an estimated aggregate purchase price of $3.9 billion. As of
March 8, 2000, ILFC has entered into leases for all of the aircraft to be
delivered in 2000 and 100 of 280 aircraft to be delivered subsequent to 2000.
ILFC will be required to find customers for any aircraft presently on order and
any aircraft to be ordered, and it must arrange financing for portions of the
purchase price of such equipment. In a rising interest rate environment, ILFC
negotiates higher lease rates on any new contracts. ILFC has been successful to
date both in placing its new aircraft on lease or under sales contract and
obtaining adequate financing.
ILFC is exposed to market risk and the risk of loss of fair value
resulting from adverse fluctuations in interest rates. As of December 31, 1999
and December 31, 1998, AIG statistically measured the aforementioned loss of
fair value through the application of a VaR model. In this analysis, the net
fair value of ILFC 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 impact of the current derivative positions was also
taken into account.
AIG calculated the VaR with respect to the net fair value of ILFC using
the variance-covariance (delta-normal) methodology. This calculation also used
daily historical interest rates for the two years ending December 31, 1999 and
December 31, 1998. The VaR model estimated the volatility of each of these
interest rates and the correlation among them. The yield curve was constructed
using eleven key points on the curve to model possible curve movements. Thus,
the VaR measured the sensitivity of the assets and liabilities to the calculated
interest rate exposures. These sensitivities were then applied to a database,
which contained the historical ranges of movements in
31

interest rates and the correlation among them. The results were aggregated to
provide a single amount that depicts the maximum potential loss in fair value of
a confidence level of 95 percent for a time period of one month. As of December
31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, the VaR with respect to the aforementioned net
fair value of ILFC was approximately $50 million and $9 million, respectively.
AIGFP's 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 to sell or close out the transactions prior to maturity. AIG
believes that the impact of any such limited liquidity would not be significant
to AIG's financial condition or its overall liquidity. (See also the discussion
under "Operational 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. (See also the
discussion under "Capital Resources" herein.)
Securities available for sale is mainly a portfolio of debt securities,
where the individual securities have varying degrees of credit risk. At December
31, 1999, 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 hedge its credit risk associated
with $182 million of these securities. There were no securities deemed below
investment grade at December 31, 1999. There have been no significant downgrades
through March 1, 2000. Securities purchased under agreements to resell are
treated as collateralized 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 AIGFP deems necessary, it requires additional collateral to be
deposited. Trading securities, at market value are marked to market daily and
are held to meet the short-term risk management objectives of AIGFP.
AIGTG conducts, as principal, market making and trading activities in
foreign exchange, interest rates and precious and base metals. AIGTG 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.
AIGTG 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. AIGTG 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" and "Derivatives" herein.)
The gross unrealized gains and gross unrealized losses of AIGFP and AIGTG
included in the financial services assets and liabilities at December 31, 1999
were as follows:

(c) At December 31, 1999, AIGTG's replacement values with respect to interest
rate and currency swaps were $315 million.
AIGFP's interest rate and currency risks on securities available for sale,
at market, are managed by taking offsetting positions on a security by security
basis, thereby offsetting a significant portion of the unrealized appreciation
or depreciation. At December 31, 1999, the unrealized gains and losses remaining
after the benefit of the offsets were $39 million and $5 million, respectively.
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
securities are held to meet the short-term risk management objectives of AIGFP
and AIGTG.
The senior management of AIG defines the policies and establishes general
operating parameters for AIGFP and AIGTG. AIG's senior management has
established various oversight committees to review the various financial market,
operational and credit issues of AIGFP and AIGTG. The senior managements of
AIGFP and AIGTG report the results of their respective operations to and review
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 manage a variety of exposures including credit, market, liquidity,
operational and legal risks.
32

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Market risk arises principally from the uncertainty that future earnings
are exposed to potential changes in volatility, interest rates, foreign currency
exchange rates, and equity and commodity prices. AIG generally controls its
exposure to market risk by taking offsetting positions. AIG's philosophy with
respect to its financial services operations is to minimize or set limits for
open or uncovered positions that are to be carried. Credit risk exposure is
separately managed. (See the discussion on the management of credit risk below.)
AIG's Market Risk Management Department provides detailed independent
review of AIG's market exposures, particularly those market exposures of AIGFP
and AIGTG. 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.
AIGFP is exposed to market risk due to changes in the level and volatility
of interest rates and the shape and slope of the yield curve. AIGFP hedges its
exposure to interest rate risk by entering into transactions such as interest
rate swaps and options and purchasing U.S. and foreign government obligations.
AIGFP is exposed to market risk due to changes in and volatility of
foreign currency exchange rates. AIGFP hedges its foreign currency exchange risk
primarily through the use of currency swaps, options, forwards and futures.
AIGFP is exposed to market risk due to changes in the level and volatility
of equity prices which affect the value of securities or instruments that derive
their value from a particular stock, a basket of stocks or a stock index. AIGFP
reduces the risk of loss inherent in its inventory in equity securities by
entering into hedging transactions, including equity swaps and options and
purchasing U.S. and foreign government obligations.
AIGFP does not seek to manage the market risk of each of its transactions
through an individual offsetting transaction. Rather, AIGFP takes a portfolio
approach to the management of its market risk exposure. AIGFP values its
portfolio at market value or estimated fair value when market values are not
readily available. These valuations represent an assessment of the present
values of expected future cash flows of AIGFP's transactions and may include
reserves for such risks as are deemed appropriate by AIGFP's and AIG's
management. AIGFP evaluates the portfolio's discounted cash flows with reference
to current market conditions, maturities within the portfolio and other relevant
factors. Based upon this evaluation, AIGFP determines what, if any, offsetting
transactions are necessary to reduce the market risk exposure of the portfolio.
The aforementioned estimated fair values are based upon the use of
valuation models. These models utilize, among other things, current interest,
foreign exchange and volatility rates. These valuation models are integrated
into the evaluation of the portfolio, as described above, in order to provide
timely information for the market risk management of the portfolio.
Additionally, depending upon the changes in interest rates and other
market movements during the day, the system will produce reports for
management's consideration for intra-day offsetting positions. Overnight, the
system generates reports which recommend the types of offsets management should
consider for the following day. Additionally, AIGFP operates in major business
centers overseas and is essentially open for business 24 hours a day. Thus, the
market exposure and offset strategies are monitored, reviewed and coordinated
around the clock. Therefore, offsetting adjustments can be made as and when
necessary from any AIGFP office in the world.
As part of its monitoring and controlling of its exposure to market risk,
AIGFP applies various testing techniques which reflect potential market
movements. These techniques vary by currency and are regularly changed to
reflect factors affecting the derivatives portfolio. In addition to the daily
monitoring, AIGFP's senior management and local risk managers conduct a weekly
review of the derivatives portfolio and existing hedges. This review includes an
examination of the portfolio's risk measures, such as aggregate option
sensitivity to movements in market variables. AIGFP's management may change
these measures to reflect their judgment and evaluation of the dynamics of the
markets. This management group will also determine whether additional or
alternative action is required in order to manage the portfolio. AIG's Market
Risk Management Department reviews AIGFP's transactions in order to provide
comfort to AIG's senior management that the system produces representative
values.
All of AIGTG's market risk sensitive instruments are entered into for
trading purposes. The fair values of AIGTG's financial instruments are exposed
to market risk as a result of adverse market changes in interest rates, foreign
currency exchange rates, commodity prices and adverse changes in the liquidity
of the markets in which AIGTG trades.
AIGTG's approach to managing market risk is to establish an appropriate
offsetting position to a particular transaction or group of transactions
depending upon the extent of market risk AIGTG expects to reduce.
AIGTG's senior management has established positions and stop-loss limits
for each line of business. AIGTG's traders are required to maintain positions
within these limits. These positions are monitored during the day either
manually and/or through on-line computer systems. In addition, these positions
are reviewed by AIGTG's management. Reports which present each trading books
position and the prior day's profit and loss are reviewed by traders, head
traders and AIGTG's senior management. Based upon these and other reports,
AIGTG's senior management may determine to adjust AIGTG's risk profile.
AIGTG attempts to secure reliable current market prices, such as published
prices or third party quotes, to value its derivatives. Where such prices are
not available, AIGTG uses
33
35
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations (CONTINUED)
an internal methodology which includes interpolation or extrapolation from
verifiable prices nearest to the dates of the transactions. The methodology may
reflect interest and exchange rates, commodity prices, volatility rates and
other relevant factors.
A significant portion of AIGTG's business is transacted in liquid markets.
Certain of AIGTG's derivative product exposures are evaluated using simulation
techniques which consider such factors as changes in currency and commodity
prices, interest rates, volatility levels and the effect of time. Though not
indicative of the future, past volatile market scenarios have represented profit
opportunities for AIGTG.
AIGFP and AIGTG are both 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. AIG statistically measured the losses of fair value
through the application of a VaR model. AIG separately calculated the VaR with
respect to AIGFP and AIGTG, as AIG manages these operations separately.
AIGFP's and AIGTG's asset and liability portfolios for which the VaR
analyses were performed included over the counter and exchange traded
investments, derivative instruments and commodities. Since 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.
AIG calculated the VaR with respect to AIGFP and AIGTG as of December 31,
1999 and December 31, 1998. These calculations used the variance-covariance
(delta-normal) methodology. These calculations also used, where appropriate for
each entity, daily historical interest and foreign currency exchange rates and
equity/commodity prices in the two years ending December 31, 1999 and December
31, 1998, as applicable. The VaR model estimated the volatility of each of these
rates, prices and the correlations among them. For interest rates, the yield
curves of the United States and certain foreign countries were constructed using
eleven separate points on each country's yield curve to model possible curve
movements. Inter-country correlations were also used. The redemption experience
of corporate fixed maturities was taken into account. Thus, the VaR measured the
sensitivity of the asset and the liability portfolios of each of the market
exposures. Each sensitivity was estimated separately to capture the market
exposures within each entity. These sensitivities were then applied to a
database, which contained both historical ranges of movements in all market
factors and the correlations among them. The results depict the maximum
potential loss in fair value at a confidence level of 95 percent.
Given the distinct business strategies at AIGFP and AIGTG, the VaR
calculations used different time periods to measure market exposures. Many of
AIGFP's customized, longer-term contracts may require several days to transact
and hedge. AIG therefore used a one month holding period to measure market
exposures for AIGFP. The large majority of AIGTG's contracts can be arranged and
hedged within one day. AIG therefore used a one day holding period to measure
market exposures at AIGTG.
The following table presents the VaR on a combined basis and of each
component of AIGFP's and AIGTG's market risk as of December 31, 1999 and
December 31, 1998. VaR with respect to combined operations cannot be derived by
aggregating the individual risk presented herein.

during 1999 were approximately $29 million and $23 million, respectively. The
high and low VaRs for AIGTG during 1999 were $5 million and $4 million,
respectively.
Derivatives
Derivatives are financial arrangements among two or more parties whose returns
are 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, certain commodities, or
financial or commodity indices. The more significant types of derivative
arrangements in which AIG transacts are swaps, forwards, futures, options and
related instruments.
The most commonly used swaps are interest rate swaps, currency swaps,
equity swaps and swaptions. Such derivatives are traded over the counter. An
interest rate swap is a contract between two parties to exchange interest rate
payments (typically a fixed interest rate versus a variable interest rate)
calculated on a notional principal amount for a specified period of time. The
notional amount is not exchanged. Currency and equity swaps are similar to
interest rate swaps but may involve the exchange of principal amounts at the
commencement and termination of the swap. Swaptions are options where the holder
has the right but not the obligation to enter into a swap transaction or cancel
an existing swap transaction.
A futures or forward contract is a legal contract between two parties to
purchase or sell at a specified future date a specified quantity of a commodity,
security, currency, financial index or other instrument, at a specified price. A
futures contract is traded on an exchange, while a forward contract is executed
over the counter.
34
36
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Over the counter derivatives are not transacted in an exchange traded
environment. The futures exchanges maintain considerable financial requirements
and surveillance to ensure the integrity of exchange traded futures and options.
An option contract generally provides the option purchaser with the right
but not the obligation to buy or sell during a period of time or at a specified
date the underlying instrument at a set price. The option writer is obligated to
sell or buy the underlying item if the option purchaser chooses to exercise his
right. The option writer receives a nonrefundable fee or premium paid by the
option purchaser. Options may be traded over the counter or on an exchange.
Derivatives are generally either negotiated over the counter contracts or
standardized contracts executed on an exchange. Standardized exchange traded
derivatives include futures and options which can be readily bought or sold over
recognized security or commodity exchanges and settled daily through such
clearing houses. Negotiated over the counter derivatives include forwards, swaps
and options. Over the counter derivatives are generally not traded like exchange
traded securities and the terms of over the counter derivatives are non-standard
and unique to each contract. However, in the normal course of business, with the
agreement of the original counterparty, these contracts may be terminated early
or assigned to another counterparty.
All significant derivatives activities are conducted through AIGFP and
AIGTG permitting AIG to participate in the derivatives dealer market acting
primarily as principal. In these derivative operations, AIG structures
agreements which generally allow its counterparties to enter into transactions
with respect to changes in interest and exchange rates, securities' prices and
certain commodities and financial or commodity indices. Generally, derivatives
are used by AIG's customers such as corporations, financial institutions,
multinational organizations, sovereign entities, government agencies and
municipalities. 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 an estimated positive fair value. To help manage
this risk, the credit departments of AIGFP and AIGTG operate within the
guidelines of the AIG Credit Risk Committee, which sets credit policy and 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 these
pre-established guidelines require the approval of the AIG Credit Risk
Committee. It is also AIG's policy to establish reserves for potential credit
impairment when necessary.
AIGFP and AIGTG determine the credit quality of each of their
counterparties taking into account credit ratings assigned by recognized
statistical rating organizations. If it is determined that a counterparty
requires credit enhancement, then one or more enhancement techniques will be
used. Examples of such enhancement techniques include letters of credit,
guarantees, collateral credit triggers and credit derivatives and margin
agreements.
A significant majority of AIGFP's transactions are contracted and
documented under ISDA Master Agreements that provide for legally enforceable
set-off in the event of default. Also, under such agreements, in connection with
a counterparty desiring to terminate a contract prior to maturity, AIGFP may be
permitted to set-off its receivables from that counterparty against AIGFP's
payables to that same counterparty arising out of all included transactions.
Excluding regulated exchange transactions, AIGTG, whenever possible, enters into
netting agreements with its counterparties which are similar in effect to those
discussed above.
The following tables provide the notional and contractual amounts of
AIGFP's and AIGTG's derivatives transactions at December 31, 1999 and December
31, 1998.
The notional amounts used to express the extent of AIGFP's and AIGTG's
involvement in swap transactions represent a standard of measurement of the
volume of AIGFP's and AIGTG's swaps business. Notional amount is not a
quantification of market risk or credit risk and it may not necessarily be
recorded on the balance sheet. Notional amounts represent those amounts used to
calculate contractual cash flows to be exchanged and are not paid or received,
except for certain contracts such as currency swaps.
The timing and the amount of cash flows relating to AIGFP's and AIGTG's
foreign exchange forwards and exchange traded futures and options contracts are
determined by each of the respective contractual agreements.
The net replacement value most closely represents the net credit risk to
AIGFP or the maximum amount exposed to potential loss after the application of
the aforementioned strategies, set-off and netting under ISDA Master Agreements
and collateral held. Prior to the application of these credit enhancements, the
gross credit risk with respect to these derivative instruments was $16.90
billion at December 31, 1999. Subsequent to the application of such credit
enhancements, the net exposure to credit risk or the net replacement value of
all interest rate, currency and equity swaps, swaptions and forward commitments
at December 31, 1999, approximated $7.53 billion. The net replacement value for
futures and forward contracts at December 31, 1999, approximated $5 million. The
net replacement value most closely represents the net credit risk to AIGFP or
the maximum amount exposed to potential loss.

Generally, AIG manages and operates its businesses in the currencies of
the local operating environment. Thus, exchange gains or losses occur when AIG's
foreign currency net investment is affected by changes in the foreign exchange
rates relative to the U.S. dollar from one reporting period to the next.

American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
AIG, through its Foreign Exchange Operating Committee, evaluates each of
its worldwide consolidated foreign currency net asset or liability positions and
manages AIG's translation exposure to adverse movement in currency exchange
rates. AIG may use forward exchange contracts and purchase options where the
cost of such is reasonable and markets are liquid to reduce these exchange
translation exposures. The exchange gain or loss with respect to these hedging
instruments is recorded on an accrual basis as a component of comprehensive
income in capital funds.
As an end user, AIG and its subsidiaries, including its insurance
subsidiaries, use derivatives to aid in managing AIG's foreign exchange
translation exposure. Derivatives may also be used to minimize certain exposures
with respect to AIG's debt financing and its insurance operations; to date, such
activities have not been significant.
AIG has formed a Derivatives Review Committee. This committee, with
certain exceptions, provides an independent review of any proposed derivative
transaction. The committee examines, among other things, the nature and purpose
of the derivative transaction, its potential credit exposure, if any, and the
estimated benefits. This committee does not review those derivative transactions
entered into by AIGFP and AIGTG for their own accounts.
Legal risk arises from the uncertainty of the enforceability, through
legal or judicial processes, of the obligations of AIG's clients and
counterparties, including contractual provisions intended to reduce credit
exposure by providing for the netting of mutual obligations. (See also the
discussion on master netting agreements above.) AIG seeks to eliminate or
minimize such uncertainty through continuous consultation with internal and
external legal advisors, both domestically and abroad, in order to understand
the nature of legal risk, to improve documentation and to strengthen transaction
structure.
Accounting Standards
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (FASB
130) and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" (FASB 131).
FASB 130 establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income and its
components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. FASB 130 was
effective for AIG as of January 1, 1998.
FASB 131 establishes standards for the way AIG is required to disclose
certain information about its operating segments in its annual financial
statements and certain selected information in its interim financial statements.
FASB 131 establishes, where practicable, standards with respect to geographic
areas, among other things. Certain descriptive information is also required.
FASB 131 was effective for the year ended December 31, 1998.
In February 1998, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 132 "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement
Benefits" (FASB 132). This statement requires AIG to revise its disclosures
about pension and other postretirement benefit plans and does not change the
measurement or recognition of these plans. Also, FASB 132 requires additional
information on changes in the benefit obligations and fair values of plan
assets. FASB 132 was effective for the year ended December 31, 1998.
In June 1998, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (FASB 133).
This statement requires AIG to recognize all derivatives in the consolidated
balance sheet measuring these derivatives at fair value. The recognition of the
change in the fair value of a derivative depends on a number of factors,
including the intended use of the derivative. Currently, AIGTG and AIGFP
present, in all material respects, the changes in fair value of their derivative
transactions as a component of AIG's operating income. AIG is evaluating the
impact of FASB 133 with respect to derivative transactions entered into by other
AIG operations. AIG believes that the impact of FASB 133 on its results of
operations, financial condition or liquidity will not be significant. FASB 133
is effective for the year commencing January 1, 2001.
In December 1997, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AcSEC) issued Statement of
Position (SOP) 97-3, "Accounting by Insurance and Other Enterprises for
Insurance-Related Assessments." This statement provides guidance for the
recording of a liability for insurance-related assessments. The statement
requires that a liability be recognized in certain defined circumstances. This
statement was effective for the year commencing January 1, 1999 and has been
adopted herein. SOP 97-3 did not have a material impact on AIG's results of
operations, financial condition or liquidity.
In October 1998, AcSEC issued SOP 98-7, "Deposit Accounting: Accounting
for Insurance and Reinsurance Contracts That Do Not Transfer Insurance Risk."
This statement identifies several methods of deposit accounting and provides
guidance on the application of each method. This statement classifies insurance
and reinsurance contracts for which the deposit method is appropriate as
contracts that (i) transfer only significant timing risk, (ii) transfer only
significant underwriting risk, (iii) transfer neither significant timing nor
underwriting risk, and (iv) have an indeterminate risk. AIG believes that the
impact of this statement on its results of operations, financial condition or
liquidity will not be significant. This statement is effective for the year
commencing January 1, 2000. Restatement of previously issued financial
statements is not permitted.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations (CONTINUED)
Year 2000 Issues
Any statements contained herein that are not historical facts, or that might be
considered an opinion or projection, whether expressed or implied, are meant as,
and should be considered, forward-looking statements as that term is defined in
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements
are based on assumptions and opinions concerning a variety of known and unknown
risks, including those risks related to the Year 2000 issue. If any assumptions
or opinions prove incorrect, any forward-looking statements made on that basis
may also prove materially incorrect.
The Year 2000 issue arises from computer programs being written using two
digits rather than four digits to define the applicable year. This could result
in a failure of the information technology systems (IT systems) and other
equipment containing imbedded technology (non-IT systems) in the year 2000,
causing disruption of operations of AIG, its lessees, vendors, or business
partners.
AIG developed and implemented a plan to address the Year 2000 issue as it
affected AIG's internal IT and non-IT systems, and assessed Year 2000 issues
relating to third parties with whom AIG has critical relationships. AIG has not
experienced any business disruption from the Year 2000 issue. Its IT and non-IT
systems were compliant on January 1, 2000, and there have been no problems
related to any third party compliance.

Report of Independent Accountants
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
American International Group, Inc.:
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the accompanying
index present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial
position of American International Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the
"Company") at December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the consolidated results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement
schedules listed in the accompanying index present fairly, in all material
respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the
related consolidated financial statements. These financial statements and
financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company's
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits. We conducted
our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States, which require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

Notes to Financial Statements
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Principles of Consolidation: On January 1, 1999 (the merger date),
SunAmerica Inc., a Maryland corporation, merged with and into AIG. AIG issued
187.5 million shares of its common stock in exchange for all the outstanding
common stock and Class B stock of SunAmerica Inc., based on an exchange ratio of
0.855 shares of AIG common stock for each share of SunAmerica Inc. stock. A
newly formed Delaware company, SunAmerica Inc. (SunAmerica) holds substantially
all of the assets previously held by the Maryland corporation. The merger was
accounted for as a pooling of interests and the accompanying financial
statements for 1998 and prior years have been restated to combine SunAmerica
Inc.'s financial statements for its fiscal years ended September 30 with AIG's
December 31 financial statements.
The following is a reconciliation of the individual company results to the
combined results for the twelve month periods during 1998 and 1997:
(in millions)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AIG SunAmerica
December 31, September 30, Total
======================================================================================
1998
Revenues $ 33,296 $ 2,420 $ 35,716
Net income 3,766 516 4,282
1997
Revenues 30,602 1,951 32,553
Net income 3,332 379 3,711
======================================================================================
The financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, included in
the AIG Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflected the operations of SunAmerica on
a pooling of interests basis and the change of its fiscal year from September 30
to December 31. For the period October 1, 1998 through December 31, 1998,
SunAmerica Inc.'s revenues were $318 million, operating income was $52 million
and net income was $29 million; dividends distributed were $33 million. Thus,
capital funds at December 31, 1999 reflect the net decrease in SunAmerica Inc.'s
retained earnings of $4 million and the decline of $94 million in accumulated
other comprehensive income.
AIG subsidiaries write property, casualty, marine, life and financial
lines insurance in approximately 130 countries and jurisdictions. Certain of
AIG's foreign subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements
report on a fiscal year ending November 30. All material intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated.
Commencing with the third quarter 1998, Transatlantic and 21st Century
were consolidated into AIG's financial statements as AIG became the majority
shareholder of these entities.
(b) Basis of Presentation: The accompanying financial statements have been
prepared on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Certain accounts have been reclassified in the 1998 and 1997 financial
statements to conform to their 1999 presentation.
General Insurance Operations: AIG's general insurance subsidiaries are
multiple line companies writing substantially all lines of property and casualty
insurance. Premiums are earned primarily on a pro rata basis over the term of
the related coverage. The reserve for unearned premiums represents the portion
of premiums written relating to the unexpired terms of coverage.
Acquisition costs represent those costs, including commissions, that vary
with and are primarily related to the acquisition of new business. These costs
are deferred and amortized over the period in which the related premiums written
are earned. Investment income is not anticipated in the deferral of acquisition
costs. (See Note 4.)
Losses and loss expenses are charged to income as incurred. The reserve
for losses and loss expenses represents the accumulation of estimates for
reported losses and includes provisions for losses incurred but not reported.
The methods of determining such estimates and establishing resulting reserves,
including amounts relating to reserves for estimated unrecoverable reinsurance,
are continually reviewed and updated. Adjustments resulting therefrom are
reflected in income currently. AIG discounts certain of its loss reserves which
are primarily related to certain workers' compensation claims. (See Note 6.)
Life Insurance Operations: AIG's life insurance subsidiaries offer a wide
range of traditional insurance and financial and investment products.
Traditional products consist of individual and group life, annuity, endowment
and accident and health policies. Financial and investment products consist of
single premium annuity, variable annuities, guaranteed investment contracts,
universal life and pensions. Premiums for traditional life insurance products
and life contingent annuities, excluding accident and health products, are
recognized as revenues when due. Estimates for premiums due but not yet
collected are accrued. Benefits and expenses are provided against such revenues
to recognize profits over the estimated life of the policies. Revenues for
universal life and investment-type products consist of policy charges for the
cost of insurance, administration and surrenders during the period. Expenses
include interest credited to policy account balances and benefit payments made
in excess of policy account balances. Accident and health products are accounted
for in a manner similar to general insurance products described above.
Investment income reflects certain amounts of realized capital gains where the
gains are deemed to be an inherent element in pricing certain life products in
some foreign countries.
Policy acquisition costs for traditional life insurance products are
generally deferred and amortized over the premium paying period of the policy.
Deferred policy acquisition costs and policy initiation costs related to
universal life and investment-type products are amortized in relation to
expected gross profits over the life of the policies. Policy acquisition costs
with respect to universal
50

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
life and investment-type products are deferred and amortized, with interest, in
relation to the incidence of estimated gross profits to be realized over the
estimated lives of the contracts. Estimated gross profits are composed of net
interest income, net realized investment gains and losses, variable annuity
fees, surrender charges and direct administrative expenses.
As debt and equity securities available for sale are carried at aggregate
fair value, an adjustment is made to deferred policy acquisition costs equal to
the change in amortization that would have been recorded if such securities had
been sold at their stated aggregate fair value and the proceeds reinvested at
current yields. The change in this adjustment, net of tax, is included with the
change in net unrealized gains/losses on debt and equity securities available
for sale that is credited or charged directly to comprehensive income. Deferred
policy acquisition costs have been increased by $130 million at December 31,
1999 and reduced by $145 million at December 31, 1998 for this adjustment. (See
Note 4.)
The liabilities for future policy benefits and policyholders' contract
deposits are established using assumptions described in Note 6.
Financial Services Operations: AIG participates in the derivatives dealer
market conducting, primarily as principal, an interest rate, currency, equity
and credit derivative products business. AIG also enters into structured
transactions including long-dated forward foreign exchange contracts, option
transactions, liquidity facilities and investment agreements and invests in a
diversified portfolio of securities.
AIG engages in market making and trading activities, as principal, in
foreign exchange, interest rates and precious and base metals. AIG 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.
AIG, as lessor, leases flight equipment principally under operating
leases. Accordingly, income is reported over the life of the lease as rentals
become receivable under the provisions of the lease or, in the case of leases
with varying payments, under the straight-line method over the noncancelable
term of the lease. In certain cases, leases provide for additional amounts
contingent on usage. AIG is also a remarketer of flight equipment for its own
account and for airlines and financial institutions. AIG's revenues from such
operations consist of net gains on sales of flight equipment and commissions.
Asset Management Operations: AIG's asset management operations offer a
wide variety of investment vehicles and services, including variable annuities,
mutual funds and investment asset management. Such products and services are
offered to individuals and institutions both domestically and internationally.
The fees generated with respect to asset management operations are recognized as
revenues when earned. Costs incurred in the sale of variable annuities and
mutual funds are deferred and subsequently amortized. With respect to variable
annuities, acquisition costs are amortized in relation to the incidence of
estimated gross profits to be realized over the estimated lives of the variable
annuity contracts. With respect to the sale of mutual funds, acquisition costs
are amortized over the estimated lives of the funds obtained.
(c) Non-cash Transaction: In July 1998, 224,950 shares of 21st Century's
Series A preferred stock were converted into 19,584,368 shares of 21st Century's
common stock.
(d) Investments in Fixed Maturities and Equity Securities: Bonds and
preferred stocks held to maturity, both of which are principally owned by the
insurance subsidiaries, are carried at amortized cost where AIG has the ability
and positive intent to hold these securities until maturity. Where AIG may not
have the positive intent to hold these securities until maturity, those bonds
are considered to be available for sale and carried at current market values.
Interest income with respect to fixed maturity securities is accrued currently.
Included in the bonds available for sale are collateralized mortgage
obligations (CMOs). Premiums and discounts arising from the purchase of CMOs are
treated as yield adjustments over their estimated lives.
Bond trading securities are carried at current market values, as it is
AIG's intention to sell these securities in the near term.
Common and non-redeemable preferred stocks are carried at current market
values. Dividend income is generally recognized when receivable.
Unrealized gains and losses from investments in equity securities and
fixed maturities available for sale are reflected as a separate component of
comprehensive income, net of deferred income taxes in capital funds currently.
Unrealized gains and losses from investments in trading securities are reflected
in income currently.
Realized capital gains and losses are determined principally by specific
identification. Where declines in values of securities below cost or amortized
cost are considered to be other than temporary, a charge is reflected in income
for the difference between cost or amortized cost and estimated net realizable
value.
(e) Mortgage Loans on Real Estate, Policy and Collateral Loans-net:
Mortgage loans on real estate, policy loans and collateral loans are carried at
unpaid principal balances. Interest income on such loans is accrued currently.
Impairment of mortgage loans on real estate and collateral loans is
generally measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows
discounted at the loan's effective interest rate subject to the fair value of
underlying collateral. Interest income on such loans is recognized as cash is
received.
There is no allowance for policy loans, as these loans serve to reduce the
death benefit paid when the death claim is made and the balances are effectively
collateralized by the cash surrender value of the policy.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(f) Flight Equipment: Flight equipment is stated at cost. Major additions
and modifications are capitalized. Normal maintenance and repairs, airframe and
engine overhauls and compliance with return conditions of flight equipment on
lease are provided by and paid for by the lessee. Under the provisions of most
leases for certain airframe and engine overhauls, the lessee is reimbursed for
costs incurred up to but not exceeding contingent rentals paid to AIG by the
lessee. AIG provides a charge to income for such reimbursements based upon the
expected reimbursements during the life of the lease. Depreciation and
amortization are computed on the straight-line basis to a residual value of
approximately 15 percent over the estimated useful lives of the related assets
but not exceeding 25 years. AIG monitors the global aircraft market and the
values of various types and models of aircraft within that market relative to
the values of its own fleet. If events or circumstances were such that the
carrying amount of AIG's aircraft might be impaired, AIG would determine if such
impairment existed and recognize such impairment. This caption also includes
deposits for aircraft to be purchased.
At the time the assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and associated
accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the related accounts
and the difference, net of proceeds, is recorded as a gain or loss.
(g) Securities Available for Sale, at market value: These securities are
held to meet long term investment objectives and are accounted for as available
for sale, carried at current market values and recorded on a trade date basis.
Unrealized gains and losses from valuing these securities and any related hedges
are reflected in capital funds currently, net of any related deferred income
taxes. When the underlying security is sold, the realized gain or loss resulting
from the hedging derivative transaction is recognized in income in that same
period as the realized gain or loss of the hedged security.
(h) Trading Securities, at market value: Trading securities are held to
meet short term investment objectives, including hedging securities. These
securities are recorded on a trade date basis and carried at current market
values. Unrealized gains and losses are reflected in income currently.
(i) Spot Commodities, at market value: Spot commodities are carried at
current market values and are recorded on a settlement date basis. The exposure
to market risk may be reduced through the use of forwards, futures and option
contracts. Unrealized gains and losses of both commodities and any derivative
transactions are reflected in income currently.
(j) Unrealized Gain and Unrealized Loss on Interest Rate and Currency
Swaps, Options and Forward Transactions: Interest rate swaps, currency swaps,
equity swaps, swaptions, options and forward transactions are accounted for as
contractual commitments recorded on a trade date basis and are carried at
current market values or estimated fair values when market values are not
available. Unrealized gains and losses are reflected in income currently.
Estimated fair values are based on the use of valuation models that utilize,
among other things, current interest, foreign exchange and volatility rates.
These valuations represent an assessment of the present values of expected
future cash flows of these transactions and may include reserves for market risk
as deemed appropriate. The portfolio's discounted cash flows are evaluated with
reference to current market conditions, maturities within the portfolio and
other relevant factors. Based upon this evaluation, it is determined what
offsetting transactions, if any, are necessary to reduce the market risk of the
portfolio. AIG manages its market risk with a variety of transactions,
including swaps, trading securities, futures and forward contracts and other
transactions as appropriate. Because of the limited liquidity of some of these
instruments, the recorded values of these transactions may be different than the
values that might be realized if AIG were to sell or close out the transactions
prior to maturity. AIG believes that such differences are not significant to the
results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. Such differences would
be immediately recognized when the transactions are sold or closed out prior to
maturity.
(k) Trading Assets and Trading Liabilities: Trading assets and trading
liabilities include option premiums paid and received and receivables from and
payables to counterparties which relate to unrealized gains and losses on
futures, forwards and options and balances due from and due to clearing brokers
and exchanges.
Futures, forwards and options purchased and written are accounted for as
contractual commitments on a trade date basis and are carried at fair values.
Unrealized gains and losses are reflected in income currently. The fair values
of futures contracts are based on closing exchange quotations. Commodity forward
transactions are carried at fair values derived from dealer quotations and
underlying commodity exchange quotations. For long dated forward transactions,
where there are no dealer or exchange quotations, fair values are derived using
internally developed valuation methodologies based on available market
information. Options are carried at fair values based on the use of valuation
models that utilize, among other things, current interest or commodity rates and
foreign exchange and volatility rates, as applicable.
(l) Securities Purchased (Sold) Under Agreements to Resell (Repurchase),
at contract value: Purchases of securities under agreements to resell and sales
of securities under agreements to repurchase are accounted for as collateralized
lending transactions and are recorded at their contracted resale or repurchase
amounts, plus accrued interest. Generally, it is AIG's policy to take possession
of or obtain a security interest in securities purchased under agreements to
resell.
AIG minimizes the credit risk that counterparties to transactions might be
unable to fulfill their contractual obligations by monitoring customer credit
exposure and collateral value and generally requiring additional collateral to
be deposited with AIG when deemed necessary.

American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(m) Other Invested Assets: Other invested assets consist primarily of
investments by AIG's insurance operations in joint ventures and partnerships and
other investments not classified elsewhere herein. The joint ventures and
partnerships are carried at equity or cost depending on the nature of the
invested asset and the ownership percentage thereof. Other investments are
carried at cost or market values depending upon the nature of the underlying
assets. Unrealized gains and losses from the revaluation of those investments
carried at market values are reflected in comprehensive income, net of any
related deferred income taxes.
(n) Reinsurance Assets: Reinsurance assets include the balances due from
both reinsurance and insurance companies under the terms of AIG's reinsurance
agreements for paid and unpaid losses and loss expenses, ceded unearned premiums
and ceded future policy benefits for life and accident and health insurance
contracts and benefits paid and unpaid. It also includes funds held under
reinsurance treaties. Amounts related to paid and unpaid losses and loss
expenses with respect to these reinsurance agreements are substantially
collateralized.
(o) Investments in Partially-Owned Companies: The equity method of
accounting is used for AIG's investment in companies in which AIG's ownership
interest approximates twenty but is not greater than fifty percent
(minority-owned companies). Equity in income of minority-owned insurance
operations is presented separately in the consolidated statement of income.
Equity in net income of other unconsolidated companies is principally included
in other income (deductions)--net. At December 31, 1999, AIG's significant
investments in partially-owned companies included its 24.4 percent interest in
IPC Holdings, Ltd. This balance sheet caption also includes investments in less
significant partially-owned companies and in certain minor majority-owned
subsidiaries. The amounts of dividends received from unconsolidated subsidiaries
owned less than 50 percent were $13 million, $24 million and $30 million in
1999, 1998 and 1997 respectively. The undistributed earnings of unconsolidated
subsidiaries owned less than 50 percent was $82 million as of December 31, 1999.
In 1999, AIG did not report equity in income of minority-owned insurance
operations as a result of the consolidation of Transatlantic's and SELIC
Holdings, Ltd. operations into general insurance operating results. IPC
Holdings, Ltd., the remaining operation included in equity in income of
minority-owned insurance operations in previous periods is now reported as a
component of other income (deductions) -- net.
(p) Real Estate and Other Fixed Assets: The costs of buildings and
furniture and equipment are depreciated principally on a straight-line basis
over their estimated useful lives (maximum of 40 years for buildings and 10
years for furniture and equipment). Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are
charged to income as incurred; expenditures for betterments are capitalized and
depreciated.
From time to time, AIG assesses the carrying value of its real estate
relative to the market values of real estate within the specific local area. At
December 31, 1999, there were no impairments.
(q) Separate and Variable Accounts: Separate and variable accounts
represent funds for which investment income and investment gains and losses
accrue directly to the policyholders. Each account has specific investment
objectives, and the assets are carried at market value. The assets of each
account are legally segregated and are not subject to claims which arise out of
any other business of AIG.
(r) Securities and Spot Commodities Sold but not yet Purchased, at market
value: Securities and spot commodities sold but not yet purchased represent
sales of securities and spot commodities not owned at the time of sale. The
obligations arising from such transactions are recorded on a trade date basis
and carried at the respective current market values or current commodity prices.
(s) Preferred Shareholders' Equity in Subsidiary Companies: Preferred
shareholders' equity in subsidiary companies relates to outstanding preferred
stock of ILFC and certain subsidiaries of SunAmerica, both wholly owned
subsidiaries of AIG. Dividends on such preferred stock are accounted for as
interest expense and included as minority interest in the consolidated statement
of income.
(t) Translation of Foreign Currencies: Financial statement accounts
expressed in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52 "Foreign Currency
Translation" (FASB 52). Under FASB 52, functional currency assets and
liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars generally using current rates of
exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date of each respective subsidiary and
the related translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of
comprehensive income, net of any related taxes in capital funds. Functional
currencies are generally the currencies of the local operating environment.
Income statement accounts expressed in functional currencies are translated
using average exchange rates. The adjustments resulting from translation of
financial statements of foreign entities operating in highly inflationary
economies are recorded in income. Exchange gains and losses resulting from
foreign currency transactions are also recorded in income currently. The
exchange gain or loss with respect to utilization of foreign exchange hedging
instruments is recorded as a component of comprehensive income.
(u) Income Taxes: Deferred federal and foreign income taxes are provided
for temporary differences for the expected future tax consequences of events
that have been recognized in AIG's financial statements or tax returns.
(v) Earnings Per Share: Basic earnings per common share are based on the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding, retroactively adjusted to
reflect all stock dividends and stock splits. Diluted earnings per share are
based on those shares used in basic earnings per share plus shares that would

(w) Accounting Standards: In June 1997, FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (FASB 130) and
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 "Disclosure about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information" (FASB 131).
FASB 130 establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income and its
components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. FASB 130 was
effective for AIG as of January 1, 1998.
FASB 131 establishes standards for the way AIG is required to disclose
information about its operating segments in its annual financial statements and
selected information in its interim financial statements. FASB 131 establishes,
where practicable, standards with respect to geographic areas, among other
things. Certain descriptive information is also required. FASB 131 was effective
for the year ended December 31, 1998.
In February 1998, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 132 "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement
Benefits" (FASB 132). This statement requires AIG to revise its disclosures
about pension and other postretirement benefit plans and does not change the
measurement or recognition of these plans. Also, FASB 132 requires additional
information on changes in the benefit obligations and fair values of plan
assets. FASB 132 was effective for the year ended December 31, 1998.
In June 1998, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (FASB 133).
This statement requires AIG to recognize all derivatives in the consolidated
balance sheet measuring these derivatives at fair value. The recognition of the
change in the fair value of a derivative depends on a number of factors,
including the intended use of the derivative. Currently, AIG Financial Products
Corp. and its subsidiaries (AIGFP) and AIG Trading Group Inc. and its
subsidiaries (AIGTG) present, in all material respects, the changes in fair
value of their derivative transactions as a component of AIG's operating income.
AIG is evaluating the impact of FASB 133 with respect to derivative transactions
entered into by other AIG operations. AIG believes that the impact of FASB 133
on its results of operations, financial condition or liquidity will not be
significant. FASB 133 is effective for the year commencing January 1, 2001.
In December 1997, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AcSEC) issued Statement of
Position (SOP) 97-3, "Accounting by Insurance and Other Enterprises for
Insurance-Related Assessments." This statement provides guidance for the
recording of a liability for insurance-related assessments. The statement
requires that a liability be recognized in certain defined circumstances. This
statement was effective for the year commencing January 1, 1999 and has been
adopted herein. SOP 97-3 did not have a material impact on AIG's results of
operations, financial condition or liquidity.
In October 1998, AcSEC issued SOP 98-7, "Deposit Accounting: Accounting
for Insurance and Reinsurance Contracts That Do Not Transfer Insurance Risk."
This statement identifies several methods of deposit accounting and provides
guidance on the application of each method. This statement classifies insurance
and reinsurance contracts for which the deposit
54
56
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
method is appropriate as contracts that (i) transfer only significant timing
risk, (ii) transfer only significant underwriting risk, (iii) transfer neither
significant timing nor underwriting risk, and (iv) have an indeterminate risk.
AIG believes that the impact of this statement on its results of operations,
financial condition or liquidity will not be significant. This statement is
effective for the year commencing January 1, 2000. Restatement of previously
issued financial statements is not permitted.
2. Foreign Operations
Certain subsidiaries operate solely outside of the United States. Their assets
and liabilities are located principally in the countries where the insurance
risks are written and/or investment and non-insurance related operations are
located. In addition, certain of AIG's domestic subsidiaries have branch and/or
subsidiary operations and substantial assets and liabilities in foreign
countries. Certain countries have restrictions on the conversions of funds which
generally cause a delay in the outward remittance of such funds. Approximately
32 percent of consolidated assets at December 31, 1999 and 1998 and 50 percent,
49 percent and 51 percent of revenues for the years ended December 31, 1999,
1998 and 1997, respectively, were located in or derived from foreign countries
(other than Canada). (See Note 18.)
3. Federal Income Taxes
(a) AIG and its domestic subsidiaries file a consolidated U.S. Federal income
tax return. Revenue Agent's Reports assessing additional taxes for the years
1987, 1988, 1989 and 1990 have been issued and Letters of Protest contesting the
assessments have been filed with the Internal Revenue Service. In addition,
Revenue Agent's Reports assessing additional taxes for the years ended November
30, 1988 and September 30, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993 and 1994 have been issued to
SunAmerica. Such assessments relate to years prior to the acquisition of
SunAmerica by AIG. Letters of Protest contesting the assessments have been filed
with the Internal Revenue Service. It is management's belief that there are
substantial arguments in support of the positions taken by AIG and SunAmerica in
their Letters of Protest. AIG also believes that the impact of the results of
these examinations will not be significant to AIG's financial condition, results
of operations or liquidity.
Foreign income not expected to be taxed in the United States has arisen
because AIG's foreign subsidiaries were generally not subject to U.S. income
taxes on income earned prior to January 1, 1987. Such income would become
subject to U.S. income taxes at current tax rates if remitted to the United
States or if other events occur which would make these amounts currently
taxable. The cumulative amount of translated undistributed earnings of AIG's
foreign subsidiaries currently not subject to U.S. income taxes was
approximately $3.1 billion at December 31, 1999. Management presently has not
subjected and has no intention of subjecting these accumulated earnings to
material U.S. income taxes and no provision has been made in the accompanying
financial statements for such taxes.
(b) The U.S. Federal income tax rate is 35 percent for 1999, 1998 and
1997. Actual tax expense on income differs from the "expected" amount computed
by applying the Federal income tax rate because of the following:

5. Reinsurance
In the ordinary course of business, AIG's general and life insurance companies
cede reinsurance to other insurance companies in order to provide greater
diversification of AIG's business and limit the potential for losses arising
from large risks.
General reinsurance is effected under reinsurance treaties and by
negotiation on individual risks. Certain of these reinsurance arrangements
consist of excess of loss contracts which protect AIG against losses over
stipulated amounts. Ceded premiums are considered prepaid reinsurance premiums
and are amortized into income over the contract period in proportion to the
protection received. Amounts recoverable from general reinsurers are estimated
in a manner consistent with the claims liabilities associated with the
reinsurance and presented as a component of reinsurance assets.

58
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
5. Reinsurance (continued)
AIG life companies limit exposure to loss on any single life. For ordinary
insurance, AIG retains a maximum of approximately one million dollars of
coverage per individual life. There are smaller retentions for other lines of
business. Life reinsurance is effected principally under yearly renewable term
treaties. The premiums with respect to these treaties are considered prepaid
reinsurance premiums and are amortized into income over the contract period in
proportion to the protection provided. Amounts recoverable from life reinsurers
are estimated in a manner consistent with the assumptions used for the
underlying policy benefits and are presented as a component of reinsurance
assets.
General insurance premiums written and earned were comprised of the
following:
(in millions)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Years Ended December 31, Written Earned
===============================================================================
1999
Gross premiums $ 22,569 $ 21,187

Gross premiums $ 18,742 $ 17,566
Ceded premiums (5,334) (5,145)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net premiums $ 13,408 $ 12,421
===============================================================================
For the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, reinsurance
recoveries, which reduced loss and loss expenses incurred, amounted to $5.13
billion, $5.36 billion and $4.59 billion, respectively.
Life insurance net premium income was comprised of the following:
(in millions)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Years Ended December 31, 1999 1998 1997
===============================================================================
Gross premium income $ 12,252 $ 10,578 $ 10,242
Ceded premiums (310) (285) (286)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net premium income $ 11,942 $ 10,293 $ 9,956
===============================================================================
Life insurance recoveries, which reduced death and other benefits,
approximated $168 million, $176 million and $190 million, respectively, for the
years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997.
AIG's reinsurance arrangements do not relieve AIG from its direct
obligation to its insureds. Thus, a credit exposure exists with respect to both
general and life reinsurance ceded to the extent that any reinsurer is unable to
meet the obligations assumed under the reinsurance agreements. AIG holds
substantial collateral as security under related reinsurance agreements in the
form of funds, securities and/or letters of credit. A provision has been
recorded for estimated unrecoverable reinsurance. AIG has been largely
successful in prior recovery efforts.
AIG evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers through an
internal reinsurance security committee consisting of members of AIG's senior
management. No single reinsurer is a material reinsurer to AIG nor is AIG's
business substantially dependent upon any reinsurance contract.
Life insurance ceded to other insurance companies was as follows:
(in millions)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Years Ended December 31, 1999 1998 1997
================================================================================
Life insurance in-force $69,535 $62,768 $56,971
================================================================================
Life insurance assumed represented 0.2 percent of gross life insurance
in-force at December 31, 1999 and 0.3 percent at December 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively, and life insurance premium income assumed represented 0.3 percent,
0.3 percent and 0.2 percent of gross premium income for the periods ended
December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

(b) The analysis of the future policy benefits and policyholders'
contract deposits liabilities as at December 31, 1999 and 1998 follows:
(in millions)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1999 1998
================================================================================
Future policy benefits:
Long duration contracts $33,670 $28,535
Short duration contracts 938 1,036
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total $34,608 $29,571
================================================================================
Policyholders' contract deposits:
Annuities $18,027 $18,129
Guaranteed investment contracts (GICs) 18,905 12,007

Universal life 2,962 639
Other investment contracts 764 883
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total $42,549 $33,924
================================================================================
(c) Long duration contract liabilities included in future policy benefits,
as presented in the table above, result from traditional life products. Short
duration contract liabilities are primarily accident and health products. The
liability for future life policy benefits has been established based upon the
following assumptions:
(i) Interest rates (exclusive of immediate/terminal funding annuities),
which vary by territory, year of issuance and products, range from 1.5 percent
to 12.0 percent within the first 20 years. Interest rates on immediate/terminal
funding annuities are at a maximum of 12.2 percent and grade to not greater than
7.5 percent.
(ii) Mortality and surrender rates are based upon actual experience by
geographical area modified to allow for variations in policy form. The weighted
average lapse rate, including surrenders, for individual and group life
approximated 7.4 percent.
(iii) The portions of current and prior net income and of current
unrealized appreciation of investments that can inure to the benefit of AIG are
restricted in some cases by the insurance contracts and by the local insurance
regulations of the countries in which the policies are in force.
(iv) Participating life business represented approximately 30 percent of
the gross insurance in-force at December 31, 1999 and 46 percent of gross
premium income in 1999. The amount of dividends to be paid is determined
annually by the Boards of Directors. Anticipated dividends are considered as a
planned contractual benefit in computing the value of future policy benefits and
are provided ratably over the premium-paying period of the contracts.
(d) The liability for policyholders' contract deposits has been
established based on the following assumptions:
(i) Interest rates credited on deferred annuities, which vary by territory
and year of issuance, range from 2.0 percent to 12.0 percent. Credited interest
rate guarantees are generally for a period of one year. Withdrawal charges
generally range from zero percent to 10.0 percent grading to zero over a period
of zero to 10 years.
(ii) Domestically, GICs have market value withdrawal provisions for any
funds withdrawn other than benefit responsive payments. Interest rates credited
generally range from 3.9 percent to 9.4 percent and maturities range from 1 to
30 years. Overseas, primarily in the United Kingdom, GIC type contracts are
credited at rates ranging from 3.6 percent to 5.8 percent with guarantees
generally being one year. Contracts in other foreign locations have interest
rates, maturities and withdrawal charges based upon local economic and
regulatory conditions.
(iii) Interest rates on corporate life insurance products are guaranteed
at 4.0 percent and the weighted average rate credited in 1999 was 6.7 percent.
(iv) The universal life funds have credited interest rates of 4.5 percent
to 7.0 percent and guarantees ranging from 3.5 percent to 5.5 percent depending
on the year of issue. Additionally, universal life funds are subject to
surrender charges that amount to 11.0 percent of the fund balance grading to
zero over a period not longer than 20 years.
(e) Certain products, which are short duration contracts, are subject to
experience adjustments. These include group life and group medical products,
credit life contracts, accident & health insurance contracts/riders attached to
life policies and, to a limited extent, reinsurance agreements with other direct
insurers. Ultimate premiums from these contracts are estimated and recognized as
revenue and the unearned portions of the premiums are held as reserves.
Experience adjustments vary according to the type of contract and the territory
in which the policy is in force and are subject to local regulatory guidance.

Statutory surplus and net income for general insurance and life insurance
operations as reported to regulatory authorities were as follows:
(in millions)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Years Ended December 31, 1999 1998 1997
================================================================================
Statutory surplus:
General insurance $16,225 $15,523 $14,071
Life insurance 10,230 8,177 6,966
Statutory net income*:
General insurance 2,458 2,252 2,041
Life insurance 1,575 925 1,357
================================================================================
* Includes net realized capital gains and losses.
AIG's insurance subsidiaries file financial statements prepared in
accordance with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by
domestic or foreign insurance regulatory authorities. The differences between
statutory financial statements and financial statements prepared in accordance
with GAAP vary between domestic and foreign jurisdictions. The principal
differences are that statutory financial statements do not reflect deferred
policy acquisition costs and deferred income taxes, all bonds are carried at
amortized cost and reinsurance assets and liabilities are presented net of
reinsurance. AIG's use of permitted statutory accounting practices does not have
a significant impact on statutory surplus.

(c) Medium Term Notes Payable:
(i) Medium Term Notes Payable Issued by AIG: AIG's Medium Term Notes are
unsecured obligations which normally may not be redeemed by AIG prior to
maturity and bear interest at either fixed rates set by AIG at issuance or
variable rates determined by reference to an interest rate or other formula.

================================================================================
The interest rates on this debt range from 2.25 percent to 6.38 percent.
To the extent deemed appropriate, AIG may enter into swap transactions to reduce
its effective borrowing rates with respect to these notes.
At December 31, 1999, AIG's Medium Term Notes also included notes in
aggregate principal amount of $198 million issued by SunAmerica Inc. with
maturity dates from 2000 to 2026 at interest rates ranging from 6.03 percent to
7.34 percent. AIG does not intend to have SunAmerica issue its own debt.
During 1997, AIG issued $100 million principal amount of equity-linked
Medium Term Notes due July 30, 2004. These notes accrue interest at the rate of
2.25 percent and the total return on these notes is linked to the appreciation
in market value of AIG's common stock. The notes may be redeemed, at the option
of AIG, as a whole but not in part, at any time on or after July 30, 2000. In
conjunction with the issuance of these notes, AIG entered into a series of swap
transactions which effectively converted its interest expense to a fixed rate of
5.87 percent and transferred the equity appreciation exposure to a third party.
AIG is exposed to credit risk with respect to the counterparties to these swap
transactions.

(A) Zero Coupon Notes: On October 1, 1984, AIG issued Eurodollar zero
coupon notes in the aggregate principal amount at stated maturity of $750
million. The notes were offered at 12 percent of princi pal amount at stated
maturity, bear no interest and are due August 15, 2004. The net proceeds to AIG
from the issuance were $86 million. The notes are redeemable at any time in
whole or in part at the option of AIG at 100 percent of their principal amount
at stated maturity. The notes are also redeemable at the option of AIG or bearer
notes may be redeemed at the option of the holder in the event of certain
changes involving taxation in the United States at prices ranging from 58.66
percent currently, to 89.88 percent after August 15, 2003, of the principal
amount at stated maturity together with accrued amortization of original issue
discount from the preceding August 15. During 1999 and 1998, no notes were
repurchased. At December 31, 1999, the notes outstanding after prior purchases
had a face value of $189 million, an unamortized discount of $75 million and a
net book value of $114 million. The amortization of the original issue discount

rity, except in the event of certain changes involving taxation in the United
States or the imposition of certain certification, identification or reporting
requirements.
Simultaneous with the issuance of this debt, AIG entered into a swap
transaction which effectively converted AIG's net interest expense to a U.S.
dollar liability of approximately 7.9 percent, which requires the payment of
proceeds at maturity of approximately $159 million in exchange for 200 billion
Italian Lire and interest thereon.
(C) Notes and Debentures Issued by SunAmerica Inc.: As of December 31,
1999, Notes and Debentures issued by SunAmerica Inc. in aggregate principal
amount of $432 million (net of amortized discount of $43 million) were

(g) Revolving Credit Facilities: AIG and Funding have entered into two
syndicated revolving credit facilities (the Facilities) aggregating $1 billion.
The Facilities consist of a $500 million 364 day revolving credit facility and a
$500 million five year revolving credit facility. The Facilities can be used for
general corporate purposes and also provide backup for AIG's commercial paper
programs administered by Funding. There are currently no borrowings outstanding
under either of the Facilities, nor were any borrowings outstanding as of
December 31, 1999.
(h) Interest Expense for All Indebtedness: Total interest expense for all
indebtedness, net of capitalized interest, aggregated $2.19 billion in 1999,
$1.99 billion in 1998 and $1.81 billion in 1997. Dividends on the preferred
shareholders' equity in subsidiary companies of ILFC and certain SunAmerica
subsidiaries are accounted for as interest expense and included as minority
interest in the consolidated statement of income. The dividends for ILFC for
December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 were approximately $17 million in each of the
three years. The dividends for the SunAmerica subsidiaries were approximately
$40 million in each of the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 and 1997.
10. Preferred Shareholders' Equity in Subsidiary Companies
Preferred shareholders' equity in subsidiary companies represents preferred
stocks issued by ILFC and certain SunAmerica subsidiaries, wholly owned
subsidiaries of AIG.
(a) ILFC: The preferred stock consists of 4,000 shares of market auction
preferred stock ("MAPS") in eight series of 500 shares each. Each of these
shares has a liquidation value of $100,000 per share and is not convertible. The
dividend rate, other than the initial rate, for each dividend period for each
series is reset approximately every seven weeks (49 days) on the basis of orders
placed in an auction. At December 31, 1999, the dividend rate ranged from 4.70
percent to 5.18 percent.
(b) SunAmerica: The preferred stock consists of $185 million liquidation
amount of 8.35% Trust Originated Preferred Securities issued by SunAmerica
Capital Trust II in October 1995 and $310 million liquidation amount of 8.30%
Trust Originated Preferred Securities issued by SunAmerica Capital Trust III in
November 1996.
In connection with the issuance of the 8.35% Trust Originated Preferred
Securities and the related purchase by SunAmerica Inc. of the grantor trust's
common securities, SunAmerica Inc. issued to the grantor trust $191 million
principal amount of 8.35% junior subordinated debentures, due 2044, which are
redeemable at the option of AIG on or after September 30, 2000 at a redemption
price of $25 per debenture plus accrued and unpaid interest.
In connection with the issuance of the 8.30% Trust Originated Preferred
Securities and the related purchase by SunAmerica Inc. of the grantor trust's
common securities, SunAmerica Inc. issued to the grantor trust $321 million
principal amount of 8.30% junior subordinated debentures, due 2045, which are
redeemable at the option of AIG on or after November 13, 2001 at a redemption
price of $25 per debenture plus accrued and unpaid interest.

10. Preferred Shareholders' Equity in Subsidiary Companies (continued)
The interest and other payment dates on the debentures correspond to the
distribution and other payment dates on the preferred and common securities. The
preferred and common securities will be redeemed on a pro rata basis, to the
same extent as the debentures are repaid. Under certain circumstances involving
a change in law or legal interpretation, the debentures may be distributed to
holders of the preferred and common securities in liquidation of the grantor
trust(s). AIG's obligations under the debentures and related agreements, taken
together, provide a full and unconditional guarantee of payments due on the
preferred securities.
The grantor trusts are wholly owned subsidiaries of AIG. The debentures
issued to the grantor trusts and the common securities purchased by SunAmerica
Inc. from the grantor trusts are eliminated in the consolidated balance sheet.
11. Capital Funds
(a) AIG parent depends on its subsidiaries for cash flow in the form of loans,
advances and dividends. AIG's insurance subsidiaries are subject to regulatory
restrictions on the amount of dividends which can be remitted to AIG parent.
These restrictions vary by state. For example, unless permitted by the New York
Superintendent of Insurance, general insurance companies domiciled in New York
may not pay dividends to shareholders which in any twelve month period exceed
the lesser of 10 percent of the company's statutory policyholders' surplus or
100 percent of its "adjusted net investment income", as defined. Generally, less
severe restrictions applicable to both general and life insurance companies
exist in most of the other states in which AIG's insurance subsidiaries are
domiciled. Certain foreign jurisdictions have restrictions which generally cause
only a temporary delay in the remittance of dividends. There are also various
local restrictions limiting cash loans and advances to AIG by its subsidiaries.
Largely as a result of the restrictions, approximately 65 percent of
consolidated capital funds were restricted from immediate transfer to AIG parent
at December 31, 1999.
(b) At December 31, 1999, there were 6,000,000 shares of AIG's $5 par
value serial preferred stock authorized, issuable in series.
(c) The activity for preferred stock issued by SunAmerica Inc. prior to
the merger with AIG for the year ended December 31, 1999 and the two years ended
September 30, 1998 was as follows:

Shares (the "Series E Depositary Shares"), each representing one-fiftieth of a
share of Series E Mandatory Conversion Premium Dividend Preferred Stock, with a
liquidation preference of $62 per share. On September 22, 1998, SunAmerica Inc.
announced that it would redeem all of its Series E Depositary Shares. The
redemption was completed on October 30, 1998 and resulted in the issuance of
11,250,709 shares of SunAmerica Inc. common stock and cash payment of all
accrued and unpaid dividends through the redemption date.
At September 30, 1996, SunAmerica Inc. had outstanding 486,800 shares of
Adjustable Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series C (the "Series C Preferred
Shares"), with a liquidation preference of $100 per share. On October 4, 1996,
SunAmerica Inc. redeemed all of the Series C Preferred Shares for a cash payment
equal to the total liquidation amount of $49 million plus accrued and unpaid
dividends to the redemption date.
In 1992, SunAmerica Inc. issued 5,620,000 shares of 9 1/4% Preferred
Stock, Series B (the "Series B Preferred Shares"), with a liquidation preference
of $25 per share. On June 13, 1995, SunAmerica Inc. exchanged 2,105,235 Series B
Preferred Shares with a liquidation preference of $53 million for $53 million
liquidation amount of 9.95% Trust Originated Preferred Securities of SunAmerica
Capital Trust I. On June 16, 1997, SunAmerica Inc. redeemed all of the remaining
Series B Preferred Shares for a cash payment equal to the total liquidation
amount of approximately $88 million plus accrued and unpaid dividends to the
redemption date.

dividends paid July 30, 1999, July 31, 1998 and July 25, 1997, respectively.
(e) On November 6, 1996, SunAmerica Inc. issued 11,500,000 8 1/2% Premium
Equity Redemption Cumulative Security Units (the "Units") with a stated amount
of $37.50 per Unit. Each Unit consisted of a stock purchase contract (the
"Contract") and a United States Treasury Note (the "Treasury Note") having a
principal amount equal to the stated amount and maturing on October 31, 1999.
The holders of the Units received interest on the Treasury Notes payable by the
United States Government at a rate of 7 1/2% per annum and Contract fees payable
at a rate of 1% per annum (both, the "Unit Payments") based upon the stated
amount. The Contract obligated SunAmerica Inc. to deliver on October 31, 1999 to
the holder of each Unit one and one-half shares of common stock of SunAmerica
Inc., subject to adjustment under certain defined circumstances, and obligated
the holder of the Unit to pay to SunAmerica Inc. $37.50 per Unit. The Treasury
Notes were held by a collateral agent to secure payment to SunAmerica Inc. as
required under the Contract, but could be redeemed by the holders of the Units
under certain defined circumstances. SunAmerica Inc. redeemed all of its Units
on December 6, 1998. In connection with this redemption, SunAmerica Inc. issued
10,108,229 shares of SunAmerica Inc. common stock and made a cash payment for
all accrued and unpaid Contract fees.
(f) Statement of Accounting Standards No. 130 "Comprehensive Income" (FASB
130) was adopted by AIG effective January 1, 1998. FASB 130 establishes
standards for reporting comprehensive income and its components as part of
capital funds. The reclassification adjustments with respect to available for
sale securities were $122 million, $124 million and $90 million for December 31,
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
12. 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) Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend subject to certain
conditions. These commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or
termination clauses and typically require payment of a fee. These commitments
approximated $150 million and $92 million for December 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. AIG uses the same credit policies in making commitments and
conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. AIG
evaluates each counterparty's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The
amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by AIG upon extension of
credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty.
(b) AIG and certain of its subsidiaries become parties to financial
instruments with market risk resulting from both dealer and end user activities
and to reduce currency, interest rate, equity and commodity exposures. To the
extent those instruments are carried at their estimated fair value, the elements
of currency, interest rate, equity and commodity risks are reflected in the
consolidated balance sheet. In addition, these instruments involve, to varying
degrees, elements of credit risk not explicitly recognized in the consolidated
balance sheet. Collateral is required, at the discretion of AIG, on certain
transactions based on the creditworthiness of the counterparty.
(c) AIGFP becomes a party to off-balance sheet financial instruments in
the normal course of its business and to reduce its currency, interest rate and
equity exposures. Interest rate, currency and equity risks related to such
instruments are reflected in the consolidated financial statements to the extent
these instruments are carried at a market or a fair value, whichever is
appropriate. Because of limited liquidity of certain of these instruments, the
recorded estimated fair values of such instruments may be different than the
values that might be realized if AIGFP were to sell or close out the
transactions prior to maturity.
AIGFP, in the ordinary course of its operations and as principal,
structures derivative transactions to meet the needs of investors who may be
seeking to hedge certain aspects of such investors' operations. AIGFP may also
enter into derivative transactions for its own account. Such derivative
67
69
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes to Financial Statements (CONTINUED)
12. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities (continued)
transactions include interest rate, currency and equity swaps, swaptions and
forward commitments. Interest rate swap transactions generally involve the
exchange of fixed and floating rate interest payment obligations without the
exchange of the underlying principal amounts. AIGFP typically becomes a
principal in the exchange of interest payments between the parties and,
therefore, may be exposed to loss, if counterparties default. Currency and
equity swaps are similar to interest rate swaps, but may involve the exchange of
principal amounts at the beginning and end of the transaction. Swaptions are
options where the holder has the right but not the obligation to enter into a
swap transaction or cancel an existing swap transaction. At December 31, 1999,
the notional principal amount of the sum of the swap pays and receives
approximated $413.4 billion, primarily related to interest rate swaps of
approximately $281.7 billion.
The following tables provide the contractual and notional amounts of
derivatives transactions of AIGFP and AIGTG at December 31, 1999.
The notional amounts used to express the extent of involvement in swap
transactions represent a standard of measurement of the volume of swaps business
of AIGFP and AIGTG. Notional amount is not a quantification of market risk or
credit risk and it may not necessarily be recorded on the balance sheet.
Notional amounts represent those amounts used to calculate contractual cash
flows to be exchanged and are not paid or received, except for certain contracts
such as currency swaps.
The timing and the amount of cash flows relating to AIGFP's and AIGTG's
foreign exchange forwards and exchange traded futures and options contracts are
determined by each of the respective contractual agreements.
The following table presents AIGFP's derivatives portfolio by maturity and
type of derivative at December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998:

Futures and forward contracts are contracts for delivery of foreign
currencies or financial indices in which the seller/purchaser agrees to
make/take delivery at a specified future date of a specified instrument, at a
specified price or yield. Risks arise as a result of movements in current market
prices from contracted prices and the potential inability of counterparties to
meet their obligations under the contracts. At December 31, 1999, the
contractual amount of AIGFP's futures and forward contracts approximated $28.5
billion.

These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk not
explicitly recognized in the consolidated financial statements.
AIGFP utilizes various credit enhancements, including collateral, credit
triggers and credit derivatives to reduce the credit exposure relating to these
off-balance sheet financial instruments. 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.
In addition, AIGFP's derivative transactions are generally documented under ISDA
Master Agreements. Such agreements provide for legally enforceable set-off and
close out netting of exposures to specific counterparties. Under such
agreements, in connection with an early termination of a transaction, AIGFP is
permitted to set off its receivables from a counterparty against its payables to
the same counterparty arising out of all included transactions. As a result, the
net replacement value represents the net sum of estimated positive fair values
after the application of such strategies, agreements and collateral held. Prior
to the application of the aforementioned credit enhancements, the gross exposure
to credit risk with respect to these derivative instruments was $16.90 billion
at December 31, 1999. Subsequent to the application of such
68

American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
12. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities (continued)
credit enhancements, the net exposure to credit risk or the net replacement
value of all interest rate, currency, and equity swaps, swaptions and forward
commitments at December 31, 1999, approximated $7.53 billion. The net
replacement value for futures and forward contracts at December 31, 1999,
approximated $5 million. The net replacement value most closely represents the
net credit risk to AIGFP or the maximum amount exposed to potential loss.
AIGFP independently evaluates the creditworthiness of its counterparties,
taking into account credit ratings assigned by recognized statistical rating
organizations. In addition, AIGFP's credit approval process involves pre-set
counterparty, country and industry credit exposure limits and, for particularly
credit intensive transactions, obtaining approval from AIG's Credit Risk
Committee. The average credit rating of AIGFP's counterparties as a whole (as
measured by AIGFP) is equivalent to AA. The maximum potential loss will increase
or decrease during the life of the derivative commitments as a function of
maturity and market conditions.
AIGFP determines counterparty credit quality by reference to ratings from
independent rating agencies or internal analysis. At December 31, 1999 and
December 31, 1998, the counterparty credit quality by derivative product with
respect to the net replacement value of AIGFP's derivatives portfolio was as

Securities sold, but not yet purchased represent obligations of AIGFP to
deliver specified securities at their contracted prices, and thereby create a
liability to repurchase the securities in the market at prevailing prices.
AIGFP monitors and controls its risk exposure on a daily basis through
financial, credit and legal reporting systems and, accordingly, believes that it
has in place effective procedures for evaluating and limiting the credit and
market risks to which it is subject. Management is not aware of any potential
counterparty defaults.
Commissions, transaction and other fees for the twelve months ended
December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 from AIGFP's operations were $737 million, $550
million and $452 million, respectively.

the normal course of its business and to reduce its currency, interest rate and
commodity exposures.
The following tables provide the contractual and notional amounts of
AIGTG's derivatives portfolio at December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998. In
addition, the estimated positive fair

values associated with the derivatives portfolio are also provided and include a
maturity profile for the December 31, 1999 balances based upon the expected
timing of the future cash flows.
Futures and forward contracts are contracts for delivery of foreign
currencies, commodities or financial indices in which the seller/purchaser
agrees to make/take delivery at a specified future date of a specified
instrument, at a specified price or yield. Risks arise as a result of movements
in current market prices from contracted prices and the potential inability of
counterparties to meet their obligations under the contracts. Options are
contracts that allow the holder of the option to purchase or sell the underlying
commodity, currency or index at a specified price and within, or at, a specified
period of time. Risks arise as a result of movements in current market prices
from contracted prices, and the potential inability of the counterparties to
meet their obligations under the contracts. As a writer of options, AIGTG
generally receives an option premium and then manages the risk of any
unfavorable change in the value of the underlying commodity, currency or index.
At December 31, 1999, the contractual amount of AIGTG's futures, forward and
option contracts approximated $409.9 billion.
The gross replacement values presented represent the sum of the estimated
positive fair values of all of AIGTG's derivatives contracts at December 31,
1999 and December 31, 1998. These values do not represent the credit risk to
AIGTG.
Net replacement values presented represent the net sum of estimated
positive fair values after the application of legally enforceable master
closeout netting agreements and collateral held. The net replacement values most
closely represent the net credit risk to AIGTG or the maximum amount exposed to
potential loss within a product category. At December 31, 1999, the net
replacement value of AIGTG's futures, forward and option contracts and interest
rate and currency swaps approximated $3.1 billion.

Spot commodities sold but not yet purchased represent obligations of AIGTG
to deliver spot commodities at their contracted prices and thereby create a
liability to repurchase the spot commodities in the market at prevailing prices.
AIGTG limits its risks by holding offsetting positions. In addition, AIGTG
monitors and controls its risk exposures through various monitoring systems
which evaluate AIGTG's market and credit risks, and through credit approvals and
limits. At December 31, 1998, AIGTG did not have a significant concentration of
credit risk from either an individual counterparty or group of counterparties.
Commissions, transaction and other fees for the twelve months ended
December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 from AIGTG's operations were $227 million, $374
million and $562 million, respectively.
AIG has issued unconditional guarantees with respect to the prompt
payment, when due, of all present and future obligations and liabilities of
AIGFP and AIGTG arising from transactions entered into by AIGFP and AIGTG.
(e) As a component of its asset and liability management strategy,
SunAmerica utilizes swap agreements to match more closely the cash flows of its
assets to the cash flows of its liabilities. SunAmerica uses these swap
agreements to hedge against the risk of interest rate changes. At December 31,
1999, SunAmerica's swap agreements had an aggregate notional principal amount of
$2.01 billion. These agreements mature in various years through 2010.
For investment purposes, SunAmerica has entered into various total return
agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $576 million (the "notional
amount") at December 31, 1999. The total return agreements effectively exchange
a fixed rate of interest (the "payment amount") on the notional amount for the
coupon income plus or minus the increase or decrease in the fair value of
specified non-investment grade bonds (the "bonds"). SunAmerica is exposed to
potential loss with respect to credit risk on the underlying non-investment
grade bonds and fair value risk resulting from the payment amount and any
depreciation in the aggregate fair value of the bonds below the notional amount.
SunAmerica is also exposed to potential credit loss in the event of
nonperformance by the investment grade rated counterparty with respect to any
increase in the aggregate market value of the bonds above the notional amount.
However, nonperformance is not anticipated and, therefore, no collateral is held
or pledged. The agreements are marked to market and the change in market value
is recognized currently in life investment income. Net amounts received (paid)
are included in operating income and totaled ($12 million) for the year ended
December 31, 1999 and ($34 million) and $35 million for the years ended
September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. AIG guarantees the payment
obligations of SunAmerica under such agreements.
(f) At December 31, 1999, ILFC had committed to purchase 331 aircraft
deliverable from 2000 through 2007 at an estimated aggregate purchase price of
$16.4 billion and had options to purchase 83 aircraft deliverable from 2000
through 2007 at an estimated aggregate purchase price of $3.9 billion. ILFC will
be required to find customers for any aircraft presently on order and any
aircraft to be ordered, and it must arrange financing for portions of the
purchase price of such equipment.
(g) 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. AIG does not believe that such litigation
will have a material effect on its operating results and financial condition.

Notes to Financial Statements (CONTINUED)
12. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities (continued)
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 and other industry
members have 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 impact on AIG's future operating results.
The reserves carried for these claims as at December 31, 1999 ($2.61 billion
gross; $891 million net) are believed to be adequate as these reserves are based
on known facts and current law.
A summary of reserve activity, including estimates for applicable incurred
but not reported losses and loss expenses, relating to asbestos and
environmental claims separately and combined at December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997
follows. The 1999 and 1998 reserve activity includes Transatlantic.

The RBC formula develops a risk adjusted target level of adjusted
statutory capital by applying certain factors to various asset, premium and
reserve items. Higher factors are applied to more risky items and lower factors
are applied to less risky items. Thus, the target level of statutory surplus
varies not only as a result of the insurer's size, but also on the risk profile
of the insurer's operations.
The RBC Model Law provides for four incremental levels of regulatory
attention for insurers whose surplus is below the calculated RBC target. These
levels of attention range in severity from requiring the insurer to submit a
plan for corrective action to actually placing the insurer under regulatory
control.
The statutory surplus of each of AIG's domestic general and life insurance
subsidiaries exceeded their RBC standards by considerable margins as of December
31, 1999.
To the extent that any of AIG's insurance entities would fall below
prescribed levels of surplus, it would be AIG's intention to infuse necessary
capital to support that entity.
13. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 "Disclosures about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments" (FASB 107) requires disclosure of fair value
information about financial instruments, as defined therein, for which it is
practicable to estimate such fair value. These financial instruments may or may
not be recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. In the measurement of the
fair value of certain of the financial instruments, quoted market prices were
not available and other valuation techniques were utilized. These derived fair
value estimates are significantly affected by the assumptions used. FASB 107
excludes certain financial instruments, including those related to insurance
contracts.
The following methods and assumptions were used by AIG in estimating the
fair value of the financial instruments presented:
72
74
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Cash and short-term investments: The carrying amounts reported in the
consolidated balance sheet for these instruments approximate fair values.
Fixed maturity securities: Fair values for fixed maturity securities
carried at amortized cost or at market value were generally based upon quoted
market prices. For certain fixed maturity securities for which market prices
were not readily available, fair values were estimated using values obtained
from independent pricing services. No other fair valuation techniques were
applied to these securities as AIG believes it would have to expend excessive
costs for the benefits derived.
Equity securities: Fair values for equity securities were based upon
quoted market prices.
Mortgage loans on real estate, policy and collateral loans: Where
practical, the fair values of loans on real estate and collateral loans were
estimated using discounted cash flow calculations based upon AIG's current
incremental lending rates for similar type loans. The fair values of the policy
loans were not calculated as AIG believes it would have to expend excessive
costs for the benefits derived.
Trading assets and trading liabilities: Fair values for trading assets and
trading liabilities approximate the carrying values presented in the
consolidated balance sheet.
Securities available for sale: Fair values for securities available for
sale and related hedges were based on quoted market prices. For securities and
related hedges for which market prices were not readily available, fair values
were estimated using quoted market prices of comparable investments.
Trading securities: Fair values for trading securities were based on
current market value where available. For securities for which market values
were not readily available, fair values were estimated using quoted market
prices of comparable investments.
Spot commodities: Fair values for spot commodities were based on current
market prices.
Unrealized gains and losses on interest rate and currency swaps, options
and forward transactions: Fair values for swaps, options and forward
transactions were based on the use of valuation models that utilize, among other
things, current interest, foreign exchange and volatility rates, as applicable.
Securities purchased (sold) under agreements to resell (repurchase), at
contract value: As these securities (obligations) are short-term in nature, the
contract values approximate fair values.
Other invested assets: For assets for which market prices were not readily
available, fair valuation techniques were not applied as AIG believes it would
have to expend excessive costs for the benefits derived.
Policyholders' contract deposits: Fair values of policyholder contract
deposits were estimated using discounted cash flow calculations based upon
interest rates currently being offered for similar contracts with maturities
consistent with those remaining for the contracts being valued.
GIAs: Fair values of AIG's obligations under investment type agreements
were estimated using discounted cash flow calculations based on interest rates
currently being offered for similar agreements with maturities consistent with
those remaining for the agreements being valued. Additionally, AIG follows a
policy of minimizing interest rate risks associated with GIAs by entering into
swap transactions.
Securities and spot commodities sold but not yet purchased: The carrying
amounts for the financial instruments approximate fair values. Fair values for
spot commodities sold short were based on current market prices.
Trust deposits and deposits due to banks and other depositors: To the
extent certain amounts are not demand deposits or certificates of deposit which
mature in more than one year, fair values were not calculated as AIG believes it
would have to expend excessive costs for the benefits derived.
Commercial paper: The carrying amount of AIG's commercial paper borrowings
approximates fair value.
Notes, bonds, loans and mortgages payable: Where practical, the fair
values of these obligations were estimated using discounted cash flow
calculations based upon AIG's current incremental borrowing rates for similar
types of borrowings with maturities consistent with those remaining for the debt
being valued.

===============================================================================================================================
Off-balance sheet financial instruments: Financial instruments which are
not currently recognized in the consolidated balance sheet of AIG are
principally commitments to extend credit and financial guarantees. The
unrecognized fair values of these instruments represent fees currently charged
to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the
current agreements and the counterparties' credit standings. No valuation was
made as AIG believes it would have to expend excessive costs for the benefits
derived.
14. Stock Compensation Plans
At December 31, 1999, AIG had two types of stock-based compensation plans. One
was a stock option plan; the other, an employee stock purchase plan. AIG applies
APB Opinion 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related
Interpretations (APB 25) in accounting for its plans. Accordingly, no
compensation costs have been recognized for either plan.
Had compensation costs for these plans been determined consistent with the
method of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 "Accounting for
Awards of Stock Based Compensation to Employees" (FASB 123), AIG's net income
and earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997
would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts as follows:

14. Stock Compensation Plans (continued)
(i) Stock Option Plan: On December 19, 1991, the AIG Board of Directors adopted
a 1991 employee stock option plan (the 1991 Plan), which provided that options
to purchase a maximum of 12,656,250 shares of common stock could be granted to
officers and other key employees at prices not less than fair market value at
the date of grant. Both the 1991 Plan, and the options with respect to 316,087
shares granted thereunder on December 19, 1991, were approved by shareholders at
the 1992 Annual Meeting. An amendment to the 1991 Plan, approved by shareholders
at the 1997 Annual Meeting, increased the aggregate number of shares available
for grant to 22,148,437 shares to assure that adequate shares are available for
grant during the remaining term of the 1991 Plan. A second amendment to the 1991
Plan limits the maximum number of shares as to which stock options may be
granted to any employee in any one year to 253,125 shares. At December 31, 1999,
9,499,167 shares were reserved for future grants under the amended 1991 Plan. As
of March 18, 1992, no further options could be granted under the 1987 employee
stock option plan (the 1987 Plan), but outstanding options granted under the
1987 Plan continue in force until exercise or expiration. At December 31, 1999,
there were 11,654,856 shares reserved for issuance under these plans.
During 1999, AIG granted options with respect to 383,000 shares which
become exercisable on the fifth anniversary of the date of grant and expire 10
years from the date of grant. These options do not qualify for Incentive Stock
Option Treatment under the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981 (ISO Treatment).
The agreements with respect to all other options granted under these plans
provide that 25 percent of the options granted become exercisable on the
anniversary of the date of grant in each of the four years following that grant
and expire 10 years from the date of the grant. As of December 31, 1999,
outstanding options granted with respect to 6,694,496 shares qualified for ISO
Treatment.
As of the merger date, SunAmerica Inc. had five stock-based compensation
plans pursuant to which options, restricted stock and deferred share and share
unit obligations had been issued and remained outstanding. Options granted under
these plans had an exercise price equal to the market price on the date of
grant, had a maximum term of ten years and generally became exercisable ratably
over a five-year period. Substantially all of the SunAmerica Inc. options
outstanding at the merger date became fully vested on that date and were
converted into options to purchase AIG common stock at the exchange ratio of
0.855 shares of AIG common stock for each share of SunAmerica Inc. common stock.
No further options can be granted under the SunAmerica Inc. plans, but
outstanding options so converted continue in force until exercise or expiration.
At December 31, 1999, there were 16,262,634 shares of AIG common stock reserved
for issuance under these plans. None of these options qualified for ISO
Treatment as of December 31, 1999.
As a result of the merger, all unvested restricted stock then outstanding
and deferred share and share unit obligations with respect to 673,312 shares of
AIG common stock vested. During 1999, deferred share and share unit obligations
with respect to an additional 662,021 shares of AIG common stock vested and
1,335,333 shares were issued pursuant to deferred share and share unit
obligations. No deferred share or share unit obligations were granted in 1999.
As of December 31, 1999, deferred share and share unit obligations relating to
SunAmerica Inc. representing 931,886 shares were outstanding but not yet vested.
On September 15, 1999, the AIG Board of Directors adopted a 1999 stock
option plan (the 1999 Plan), which provided that options to purchase a maximum
of 10,000,000 shares of common stock could be granted to certain key employees
and members of the Board of Directors at prices not less than fair market value
at the date of grant. The 1999 Plan limits the maximum number of shares as to
which stock options may be granted to any employee in any one year to 250,000
shares. Options granted under this Plan expire not more than 10 years from the
date of the grant. Options with respect to 9,000 shares were granted to members
of the Board of Directors on September 15, 1999. These options become
exercisable on the first anniversary of the date of grant, expire 10 years from
the date of grant and do not qualify for ISO Treatment. The Plan, and the
options granted thereunder, are subject to approval by the shareholders at the
2000 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
In 1999, the AIG Board of Directors amended the AIG stock option plans to
allow deferral of delivery of AIG shares otherwise deliverable upon the exercise
of an option to a date or dates specified by the optionee upon the request of an
optionee. At December 31, 1999, optionees had made valid elections to defer
delivery of 506,716 shares and 389,079 shares of AIG common stock, respectively,
upon exercise of options expiring during 2000 and 2001.

The fair values of stock options granted during the years ended December
31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 were $71 million, $28 million and $29 million,
respectively. The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of the
grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
The following weighted average assumptions were used for grants in 1999,
1998 and 1997, respectively: dividend yields of 0.20 percent, 0.24 percent and
0.30 percent; expected volatilities of 25.0 percent, 22.0 percent and 20.0
percent; risk-free interest rates of 5.33 percent, 4.73 percent and 6.03 percent
and expected terms of 7 years.
Using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model applicable to SunAmerica Inc.
for 1998 and 1997, the fair values of stock options granted by SunAmerica Inc.
for such years were $49 million and $32 million, respectively.
(ii) Employee Stock Purchase Plan: AIG's 1984 employee stock purchase plan
was adopted at its 1984 shareholders' meeting and became effective as of July 1,
1984. Eligible employees could receive privileges to purchase up to an aggregate
of 5,537,108 shares of AIG common stock, at a price equal to 85 percent of the
fair market value on the date of grant of the purchase privilege. Purchase
privileges were granted annually and were limited to the number of whole shares
that could be purchased by an amount equal to 5 percent of an employee's annual
salary or $5,500, whichever was less.
AIG's 1996 employee stock purchase plan was adopted at its 1996
shareholders' meeting and became effective as of July 1, 1996, replacing the
1984 plan. Eligible employees may receive privileges to purchase up to an
aggregate of 2,812,500 shares of AIG common stock, at a price equal to 85
percent of the fair market value on the date of the grant of the purchase
privilege. Purchase privileges are granted annually and are limited to the
number of whole shares that can be purchased by an
76
78
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
amount equal to 5 percent of an employee's annual salary or $5,500, whichever is
less. Beginning with the January 1, 1998 subscription, the maximum allowable
purchase limitation increased to 10 percent of an employee's annual salary or
$10,000 per year, whichever is less, and the eligibility requirement was reduced
from two years to one year. In all other respects, the 1996 plan is identical to
the 1984 plan.
There were 130,010 shares issued under the 1984 plan at a weighted average
price of $28.14 for the year ended December 31, 1997. There were 595,286 shares,
425,523 shares and 275,783 shares issued under the 1996 plan at weighted average
prices of $57.36, $43.11 and $30.81 for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998
and 1997, respectively. The excess or deficit of the proceeds over the par value
or cost of the common stock issued under these plans was credited or charged to
additional paid-in capital.
As of December 31, 1999, there were 495,827 shares of common stock
subscribed to at a weighted average price of $77.49 per share pursuant to grants
of privileges under the 1996 plan. There were 1,020,078 shares available for the
grant of future purchase privileges under the 1996 plan at December 31, 1999.
The fair values of purchase privileges granted during the years ended
December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 were $13 million, $10 million and $4 million,
respectively. The weighted average fair values per share of those purchase
rights granted in 1999, 1998 and 1997 were $21.06, $15.46 and $10.68,
respectively. The fair value of each purchase right is estimated on the date of
the subscription using the Black-Scholes model.
The following weighted average assumptions were used for grants in 1999,
1998 and 1997, respectively: dividend yields of 0.20 percent, 0.24 percent and
0.30 percent; expected volatilities of 34.0 percent, 33.0 percent and 26.0
percent; risk-free interest rates of 5.33 percent, 5.26 percent and 5.81
percent; and expected terms of 1 year.
During 1999, there were 28,385 shares of AIG common stock issued under the
SunAmerica Inc. employee stock purchase plan at a weighted average price of
$48.90. There are no further shares available for grant under this plan.
15. Employee Benefits
(a) Employees of AIG, its subsidiaries and certain affiliated companies,
including employees in foreign countries, are generally covered under various
funded and insured pension plans. Eligibility for participation in the various
plans is based on either completion of a specified period of continuous service
or date of hire, subject to age limitation.
AIG's U.S. retirement plan is a qualified, noncontributory, defined
benefit plan. All qualified employees, other than those of SunAmerica and 21st
Century, who have attained age 21 and completed twelve months of continuous
service are eligible to participate in this plan. An employee with 5 or more
years of service is entitled to pension benefits beginning at normal retirement
at age 65. Benefits are based upon a percentage of average final compensation
multiplied by years of credited service limited to 44 years of credited service.
The average final compensation is subject to certain limitations. Annual funding
requirements are determined based on the "projected unit credit" cost method
which attributes a pro rata portion of the total projected benefit payable at
normal retirement to each year of credited service.
AIG has adopted a Supplemental Executive Retirement Program (Supplemental
Plan) to provide additional retirement benefits to designated executives and key
employees. Under the Supplemental Plan, the annual benefit, not to exceed 60
percent of average final compensation, accrues at a percentage of average final
pay multiplied for each year of credited service reduced by any benefits from
the current and any predecessor retirement plans, Social Security, if any, and
from any qualified pension plan of prior employers. The Supplemental Plan also
provides a benefit equal to the reduction in benefits payable under the AIG
retirement plan as a result of Federal limitations on benefits payable
thereunder. Currently, the Supplemental Plan is unfunded.
Eligibility for participation in the various non-U.S. retirement plans is
either based on completion of a specified period of continuous service or date
of hire, subject to age limitation. Where non-U.S. retirement plans are defined
benefit plans, they are generally based on the employees' years of credited
service and average compensation in the years preceding retirement.
In addition to AIG's defined benefit pension plan, AIG and its
subsidiaries provide a postretirement benefit program for medical care and life
insurance, domestically and in certain foreign countries. Eligibility in the
various plans is generally based upon completion of a specified period of
eligible service and reaching a specified age. Benefits vary by geographic
location.
AIG's U.S. postretirement medical and life insurance benefits are based
upon the employee electing immediate retirement and having a minimum of ten
years of service. Retirees and their dependents who were age 65 by May 1, 1989
participate in the medical plan at no cost. Employees who retired after May 1,
1989 and on or prior to January 1, 1993 pay the active employee premium if under
age 65 and 50 percent of the active employee premium if over age 65. Retiree
contributions are subject to adjustment annually. Other cost sharing features of
the medical plan include deductibles, coinsurance and Medicare coordination and
a lifetime maximum benefit of $1.5 million. The lifetime maximum benefit of the
medical plan was increased to $2.0 million effective January 1, 2000. The
maximum life insurance benefit prior to age 70 is $32,500, with a maximum of
$25,000 thereafter.
Effective January 1, 1993, both plans' provisions were amended. Employees
who retire after January 1, 1993 are required to pay the actual cost of the
medical benefits premium reduced by a credit which is based upon age and years
of service at retirement. The life insurance benefit varies by age at retirement
from $5,000 for retirement at ages 55 through 59; $10,000 for retirement at ages
60 through 64 and $15,000 for retirement at ages 65 and over.

Notes to Financial Statements (CONTINUED)
15. Employee Benefits (continued)
(b) AIG sponsors a voluntary savings plan for domestic employees (a 401(k)
plan), which, during the three years ended December 31, 1999, provided for
salary reduction contributions by employees and matching contributions by AIG of
up to 6 percent of annual salary depending on the employees' years of service.
(c) SunAmerica sponsors a voluntary savings plan for its employees (the
"SunAmerica 401(k) plan"), which, during the three years ended December 31,
1999, provided for salary reduction contributions by qualifying employees and
matching contributions by SunAmerica of up to 4 percent of qualifying employees'
annual salaries. Under an Executive Savings Plan, designated SunAmerica
executives also could defer up to 90 percent of cash compensation during the
three years ended December 31, 1999, and SunAmerica matched 4 percent of the
participants' base salaries deferred.
(d) AIG has certain benefits provided to former or inactive employees who
are not retirees. Certain of these benefits are insured and expensed currently;
other expenses are provided for currently. Such uninsured expenses include long
and short-term disability medical and life insurance continuation, short-term
disability income continuation and COBRA medical subsidies. The provision for
these benefits at December 31, 1999 was $6 million. The incremental expense was
insignificant.
The following table sets forth the change in benefit obligation, change in
plan assets and weighted average assumptions associated with various pension
plan and postretirement benefits. The amounts are recognized in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1999 and 1998:

18. Segment Information
(a) AIG's operations are conducted principally through four business segments.
These segments and their respective operations are as follows:
General Insurance - AIG's general insurance subsidiaries are multiple line
companies writing substantially all lines of property and casualty insurance.
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. Transatlantic's domestic operations are included in this
group.
AIG's Foreign General insurance group accepts risks primarily underwritten
through AIU, a marketing unit consisting of wholly owned agencies and insurance
entities. The Foreign General insurance group also includes business written by
AIG's foreign-based insurance subsidiaries for their own accounts. The Foreign
General group uses various marketing methods to write both business and personal
lines insurance with certain refinements for local laws, customs and needs. AIU
operates in over 70 countries in Asia, the Pacific Rim, Europe, Africa, Middle
East and Latin America. Transatlantic's foreign operations are included in this
group.
Life Insurance - AIG's life insurance subsidiaries offer a wide range of
traditional insurance and financial and investment products. Traditional
products consist of individual and group life, annuity, endowment and accident
and health policies. Financial and investment products consist of single premium
annuity, variable annuities, guaranteed investment contracts, universal life and
pensions.
AIG's three principal overseas life operations are ALICO, AIA and Nan
Shan. ALICO is incorporated in Delaware and all of its business is written
outside of the United States. ALICO has operations either directly or through
subsidiaries in approximately 50 countries located in Europe, Africa, Latin
America, the Caribbean, the Middle East, and the Far East, with Japan being the
largest territory. AIA operates primarily in Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and
Thailand. Nan Shan operates in Taiwan. AIG's domestic life operations are
comprised of two separate operations, AIG's domestic life companies and the life
insurance subsidiaries of SunAmerica.

services and consumer finance services.
ILFC engages primarily in the acquisition of new and used commercial jet
aircraft and the leasing and remarketing of such aircraft to airlines around the
world.
AIGFP structures financial transactions, including long-dated interest
rate and currency swaps and structured borrowings through notes, bonds and
guaranteed investment agreements.
AIGTG engages in various commodities trading, foreign exchange trading,
interest rate swaps and market making activities.
Asset Management - AIG's asset management operations offer a wide variety
of investment vehicles and services, including variable annuities, mutual funds
and investment asset management. Such products and services are offered to
individuals and institutions both domestically and internationally.
AIG's three principal asset management operations are SAAMCo, Global
Investment and Cap Partners. SAAMCo develops and sells variable annuities and
other investment products, sells and manages mutual funds and provides financial
services. Global Investment manages invested assets of institutions, including
insurance companies and pension funds, and provides custodial services. Cap
