8) Acquisition, Restructuring and Related Charges
During the third quarter of 2001, AGC was consolidated into AIG and charges in connection with this acquisition totaled $1.36 billion for that quarter, including approximately $512 million of direct costs. Of the $512 million, approximately $305 million had been paid as of December 31, 2001 and an additional $97 million has been paid for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The balance is included in Other liabilities.
Less significant, ongoing costs with respect to the integration of operations will continue to be expensed in future periods as incurred. AIG expects that these ongoing costs will include costs for the integration of computer systems, the training and relocation of certain employees and the consolidation of facilities.
9) Starr International Company, Inc. Plan
10
Starr International Company, Inc. (SICO) provides a Deferred Compensation Profit Participation Plan (SICO Plan) to certain AIG employees. The SICO Plan came into being in 1975 when the voting shareholders and Board of Directors of SICO, a private holding company whose principal asset consists of AIG common stock, decided that a portion of the capital value of SICO should be used to provide an incentive plan for the current and succeeding managements of all American International companies, including AIG. Participation in the SICO Plan by any person, and the amount of such participation, is at the sole discretion of SICOs Board of Directors, and none of the costs of the various benefits provided under such plan is paid by or charged to AIG. The SICO Plan provides that shares currently owned by SICO may be set aside by SICO for the benefit of the participant and distributed upon retirement. The SICO Board of Directors may permit an early pay-out under certain circumstances. Prior to pay-out, the participant is not entitled to vote, dispose of or receive dividends with respect to such shares, and shares are subject to forfeiture under certain conditions, including but not limited to the participants voluntary termination of employment with AIG prior to normal retirement age. In addition, SICOs Board of Directors may elect to pay a participant cash in lieu of shares of AIG common stock. If the expenses of the SICO Plan had been reflected by AIG, the pre-tax amounts accrued would have been $37.0 million for the first nine months of 2002 and $41.8 million for the same period of 2001 and $11.9 million and $13.2 million for the third quarter 2002 and 2001, respectively.
10) 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 have not deviated materially from December 31, 2001 at which time they approximated $300 million. AIG uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. AIG evaluates each counterpartys creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by AIG upon extension of credit, is based on managements 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. Collateral is required, at the discretion of AIG, on certain transactions based on the creditworthiness of the counterparty.
c) AIGFP becomes a party to derivative 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. The recorded estimated fair values of such instruments may be different than the values that might be realized if AIGFP were required 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 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 involve the exchange of specific currencies or the cashflows based on the underlying equity securities or indices. Also, they 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 September 30, 2002, the
11
The following tables provide the contractual and notional amounts of derivatives transactions of AIGFP at September 30, 2002.
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. 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 AIGFPs foreign exchange forwards and exchange traded futures and options contracts are determined by each of the respective contractual agreements.

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 September 30, 2002 the contractual amount of AIGFPs futures and forward contracts approximated $63.89 billion.

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 transactions size and maturity. In addition, AIGFPs derivative transactions are generally documented under ISDA Master Agreements. Management believes that 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
12
AIGFP independently evaluates the creditworthiness of its counterparties, taking into account credit ratings assigned by recognized statistical rating organizations. In addition, AIGFPs credit approval process involves pre-set counterparty, country and industry credit exposure limits and, for particularly credit intensive transactions, obtaining approval from AIGs Credit Risk Committee. The average credit rating of AIGFPs 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 September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the counterparty credit quality by derivative product with respect to the net replacement value of AIGFPs derivatives portfolio was as follows:

Commissions, transaction and other fees for the six months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 from AIGFPs operations were $857 million and $802 million, respectively.
d) AIGTG becomes a party to derivative financial instruments in the normal course of its business and to reduce its currency, interest rate and commodity exposures.
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. 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. 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. 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. At September 30, 2002, the contractual amount of AIGTGs futures, forward and option contracts approximated $483.51 billion.
The following table provides the contractual and notional amounts and credit exposure, if applicable, by maturity and type of derivative of AIGTGs derivatives portfolio at September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001. The gross replacement values presented represent the sum of the estimated positive fair values of all of AIGTGs derivatives contracts at September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001. 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 September 30, 2002, the net replacement value of AIGTGs futures, forward and option contracts and interest rate and currency swaps approximated $2.11 billion.

AIGTG independently evaluates the creditworthiness of its counterparties, taking into account credit ratings assigned by recognized statistical rating organizations. In addition, AIGTGs credit approval process involves pre-set counterparty, country and industry credit exposure limits and, for particularly credit intensive transactions, obtaining approval from AIGs Credit Risk Committee. The maximum potential loss will increase or decrease during the life of the derivative commitments as a function of maturity and market conditions.
AIGTG determines counterparty credit quality by reference to ratings from independent rating agencies or internal analysis. At September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the counterparty credit quality and counterparty breakdown by industry with respect to the net replacement value of AIGTGs derivatives portfolio were as follows:

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 AIGTGs market and credit risks, and through credit approvals and limits. At September 30, 2002, AIGTG did not have a significant concentration of credit risk from either an individual counterparty or group of counterparties.
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, AIG SunAmerica utilizes swap agreements to match more closely the cash flows of its assets to the cash flows of its liabilities. AIG SunAmerica uses these swap agreements to hedge against the risk of interest rate changes and currency fluctuations. At September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, AIG SunAmericas swap agreements had an

f) AGC and certain of its subsidiaries have entered into various interest rate and currency swap agreements, treasury rate lock agreements and options to enter into interest rate swap agreements (swaptions). AGC uses these agreements to hedge its exposure to interest rate changes and currency rate fluctuations that are associated with investment operations and/or anticipated debt issuances. At September 30, 2002, AGCs swap agreements with respect to debt had an aggregate notional amount of $800 million, of which $400 million was with AIGFP. There were no treasury rate lock agreements or swaptions outstanding at September 30, 2002. The impact of AGCs derivatives on AIGs results of operations, financial condition and liquidity was insignificant.
g) At September 30, 2002, ILFC had committed to purchase 493 aircraft deliverable from 2002 through 2010 at an estimated aggregate purchase price of $29.4 billion and had options to purchase 38 aircraft deliverable from 2002 through 2008 at an estimated aggregate purchase price of $2.4 billion. ILFC will be required to find customers for any aircraft acquired, and it must arrange financing for portions of the purchase price of such equipment. As of September 30, 2002, ILFC has entered into leases for all aircraft to be delivered in 2002 and 2003.
h) 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, financial condition or liquidity. However, the recent trend of increasing jury awards and settlements makes it somewhat more difficult to assess the ultimate outcome of such litigation.
AIG continues to receive claims asserting injuries from toxic waste, hazardous substances, and other environmental pollutants and alleged damages to cover the cleanup costs of hazardous waste dump sites (hereinafter collectively referred to as environmental claims) and indemnity claims asserting injuries from asbestos. Estimation of asbestos and environmental claims loss reserves is a difficult process, as these claims, which emanate from policies written in 1984 and prior years, cannot be estimated by conventional reserving techniques. Asbestos and environmental claims development is affected by factors such as inconsistent court resolutions, the broadening of the intent of policies and scope of coverage and increasing number of new claims. AIG 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 AIGs future operating results. The reserves carried for these claims as at September 30, 2002 ($2.09 billion gross; $687 million net) are believed to be adequate as these reserves are based on known facts and current law.
AIGs general insurance companies have a special asbestos and environmental (A & E) claims unit actively managing A & E claims. AIGs experienced claims professionals evaluate case reserves for AIG losses at the earliest possible time, reserving to ultimate probable loss based upon known facts, current law, jurisdiction, policy language and other factors. AIG routinely reviews the adequacy of A & E case reserves. AIG does not discount A & E reserves.
AIG uses primarily two methods to test the A & E reserves. One method, the Market Share method, produces indicated A & E reserve needs by applying the appropriate AIG company market share to estimated potential industry ultimate loss/loss expense based on the latest estimates from A.M. Best and Tillinghast. A second method, a frequency/ severity approach, is also utilized. This approach utilizes current information as the basis of an analysis that predicts for the next 10 years (up to the year 2011 with respect to the year ended December 31, 2001), the number of future environmental claims expected and the average severity of each. The trend in frequency created is based upon assumptions judged by AIG to be the most reasonable. The trend in severity starts with initial severities based on actual average current severity (under the varying case adequacy assumptions) and trending forward under assumptions deemed most reasonable by AIG. A similar frequency/ severity analysis is also performed for asbestos.

A summary of reserves and activity for the nine months then ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, including estimates for applicable incurred but not reported losses and loss expenses, relating to asbestos and environmental claims separately, is as follows.

During the first nine months of 2002, AIGFP increased the aggregate principal amount outstanding of its notes and bonds payable to $15.25 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 in Managements Discussion and Analysis.)
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 AIGs funding requirements through the issuance of commercial paper guaranteed by AIG. This issuance of Fundings commercial paper is subject to the approval of AIGs Board of Directors. ILFC and A.I. Credit Corp. (AICCO) as well as AIG Credit Card Company (Taiwan) (AIGCCC-Taiwan) and AIG Finance (Taiwan) Limited (AIGF-Taiwan), both consumer finance subsidiaries in Taiwan, AGC and AGF have

AIG and Funding are parties to syndicated revolving credit facilities (collectively, the Facility) aggregating $2.75 billion. The Facility consists of $1.375 billion in a short-term revolving credit facility and $1.375 billion in a five year revolving credit facility. The Facility can be used for general corporate purposes and also to provide backup for AIGs commercial paper programs administered by Funding. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Facility as of September 30, 2002.
AGF is a party to unsecured syndicated revolving credit facilities aggregating $3.0 billion. The facilities consists of $1.5 billion in a short-term revolving credit facility and $1.5 billion in a five year revolving credit facility, which support AGFs commercial paper borrowings. There were no borrowings outstanding under this facility as of September 30, 2002. AGF had $258 million in aggregate principal amount of debt securities registered and available for issuance at September 30, 2002. AGF uses the proceeds from the issuance of notes and bonds for the funding of its finance receivables.
As of November 2001, AIG guaranteed the notes and bonds of AGC. During the first nine months of 2002, AGC issued $200 million in notes which will mature in March 2003. These notes are included in Notes and Bonds Payable in the accompanying table of borrowings.
ILFC has entered into committed revolving loans and lines of credit with commercial banks aggregating $2.85 billion to support its commercial paper program. At September 30, 2002, there were no borrowings under these facilities. During October 2002, the amount of these facilities was increased to $3.15 billion.
At September 30, 2002, ILFC had increased the aggregate principal amount outstanding of its medium term and term notes to $14.58 billion, a net increase of $2.69 billion, and recorded a net decline in its capital lease obligations of $69 million and a net increase in its commercial paper of $226 million. On January 28, 2002, ILFC registered $4.0 billion principal amount of debt securities for issuance from time to time. At September 30, 2002, $2.78 billion had been issued. During the second quarter of 2002, ILFC expanded its Euro Medium Term Note Program to $4.0 billion, under which $2.31 billion in notes were sold through September 30, 2002. Notes issued under this program are included in Notes and Bonds Payable in the accompanying table of borrowings.
ILFC had a $4.3 billion Export Credit Facility for use in connection with the purchase of approximately 75 aircraft delivered through 2001. This facility was guaranteed by various European Export Credit Agencies. The interest rate varied from 5.75 percent to 5.90 percent on these aircraft depending on the delivery date of the aircraft. At September 30, 2002, ILFC had $2.17 billion outstanding 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 ILFCs 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 in Managements Discussion and Analysis.)
AIGFP has established a Euro Medium Term Note Program under which an aggregate principal amount of up to $4.0 billion of notes may be issued. As of September 30, 2002, $1.72 billion of notes had been issued under the program, all of which are currently outstanding. Notes issued under this program are included in Notes and Bonds Payable in the accompanying table of borrowings.
19
During the first nine months of 2002, AIG issued $4 million principal amount of medium term notes and $48 million of previously issued notes matured. At September 30, 2002, AIG had $640 million in aggregate principal amount of debt securities registered for issuance from time to time.
On November 9, 2001, AIG received proceeds of approximately $1 billion from the issuance of Zero Coupon Convertible Senior Debentures Due 2031 with an aggregate principal amount at maturity of approximately $1.52 billion. Commencing January 1, 2002, the debentures are convertible into shares of AIG common stock at a conversion rate of 6.0627 shares per $1,000 principal amount of debentures if AIG common stock trades at certain levels for certain time periods. The debentures are callable by AIG on or after November 9, 2006. Also, holders can require AIG to repurchase these debentures once every five years.
12) Accounting Standards:
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (FAS 142). As of January 1, 2002, AIG adopted FAS 142. FAS 142 requires AIG to discontinue the amortization of goodwill in its consolidated income statement. Amortization expense recorded in AIGs consolidated statement of income amounted to $117 million pre-tax for the first nine months of 2001 and $41 million pre-tax for the third quarter of 2001.
FAS 142 requires goodwill to be subject to an assessment of impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if circumstances indicate that a possible impairment has occurred. The assessment of impairment involves a two-step process prescribed in FAS 142, whereby an initial assessment for potential impairment is performed, followed by a measurement of the amount of impairment, if any. FAS 142 also requires the completion of a transitional impairment test in the year of adoption, with any identified impairments recognized as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principles. During the second quarter, AIG completed its transitional impairment test for 2002, resulting in no impairment.
Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill are primarily caused as a result of foreign currency translation adjustments.

Consolidated Results
AIGs net income in the first nine months of 2002 increased 60.8 percent to $5.62 billion when compared to $3.50 billion in the same period of 2001. Excluding $1.38 billion of acquisition, restructuring and related charges, and $533 million in World Trade Center and related losses (WTC), net of tax incurred in 2001, AIGs net income in the first nine months of 2002 increased 3.8 percent. The primary reason for the reduced growth rate in net income in the first nine months of 2002 relative to historical AIG growth rates was the realized capital losses, net of tax of $955 million and $361 million in 2002 and 2001, respectively.
AIGs operations are conducted principally through four business segments: general insurance, life insurance, financial services and retirement savings & asset management. The following table summarizes

General Insurance: General insurance operating income increased 37.4 percent in the first nine months of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. Excluding realized capital gains (losses) and WTC losses of $769 million, including $200 million from Transatlantic in 2001, general insurance operating income increased 10.9 percent, reflecting strong growth in adjusted underwriting profit. The growth in investment income slowed primarily as a result of lower earnings from the private equity portfolio.
Life Insurance: Life insurance operating income increased 5.4 percent in the first nine months of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. Excluding realized capital gains (losses) and WTC losses of $131 million in 2001, life insurance operating income increased 17.7 percent, reflecting operating income growth in each of AIGs principal life insurance businesses.
Financial Services: Financial services operating income increased 11.7 percent in the first nine months of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001, reflecting the continued growth of each of its principal operations.
Retirement Savings & Asset Management: Retirement savings & asset management operating income increased 1.0 percent in the first nine months of 2002 when compared to the same period in 2001. This growth was principally a result of the operations of The Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company (VALIC).
Realized Capital Losses: During the first nine months of 2002, AIG incurred net realized capital losses of $1.46 billion, including $356 million from WorldCom securities.
Capital Resources: At September 30, 2002, AIG had total capital funds of $58.78 billion and total borrowings of $69.38 billion. At that date, $61.31 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.
During the period from January 1, 2002 through November 1, 2002, AIG repurchased in the open market 10,858,000 shares of its common stock.
Liquidity: At September 30, 2002, consolidated invested assets were $421.71 billion including $17.22 billion in cash and short-term investments. Consolidated net cash provided from operating activities in the first nine months of 2002 amounted to $11.48 billion.
Outlook for the Remainder of 2002: Premium rates in the General Insurance business are continuing to strengthen both domestically and in key international markets, along with policy restrictions and exclusions. In the Life Insurance segment, the integration of AGC and its operations is proceeding well.
General Insurance Operations
AIGs 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 Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company (HSB); Transatlantic Holdings, Inc. (Transatlantic); Personal Lines, including 21st Century Insurance Group (21st Century); and Mortgage Guaranty.
DBG is AIGs primary domestic general division. DBG writes substantially all classes of business insurance, accepting such business mainly from insurance
26
Transatlantic offers reinsurance capacity, both domestically and overseas, on treaty and facultative bases. Transatlantic structures traditional and non-traditional programs for a full range of property and casualty products with an emphasis on specialty risk.
Personal Lines engages in the mass marketing of personal lines insurance, primarily private passenger auto and homeowners and personal umbrella coverages.
Mortgage Guaranty provides guaranty insurance primarily on conventional first mortgage loans on single family dwellings and condominiums.
AIGs 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 AIGs 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. (See also Note 6 of Notes to Financial Statements.)

General Insurance Results
During the first nine months of 2002, net premiums written and net premiums earned increased 35.6 percent and 22.7 percent, respectively, from those of 2001.
Commencing in the latter part of 1999 and continuing through 2002, the commercial property-casualty market place has experienced rate increases. Virtually all areas of DBG have experienced rate increases. Overall, DBGs net premiums written increased $3.60 billion or 48.4 percent in the first nine months of 2002 over 2001.
Personal Lines net premiums written increased 27.5 percent or $511 million in the first nine months of 2002 from 2001, reflecting auto insurance rate increases in many states.
Foreign General insurance net premiums written increased 19.8 percent and net premiums earned increased 9.6 percent in the first nine months of 2002 when compared to the same period of 2001.
27
In comparing the average foreign currency exchange rates used to translate the results of AIGs foreign general operations during the first nine months of 2002 to those average foreign currency exchange rates used to translate AIGs foreign general results during the same period of 2001, the U.S. dollar strengthened in value in relation to most major foreign currencies in which AIG transacts business. Accordingly, when foreign net premiums written were translated into U.S. dollars for the purposes of the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, total general insurance net premiums written were approximately 1.4 percentage points less than they would have been if translated utilizing those average foreign currency exchange rates which prevailed during that same period of 2001.
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 the sum of losses and loss expenses incurred divided by net premiums earned. The expense ratio is statutory underwriting expenses divided by net premiums written. The combined ratio is the sum of the loss ratio and the expense ratio. These ratios are relative measurements that describe for every $100 of net premiums earned or written, the cost of losses and statutory expenses, respectively. The combined ratio presents the total cost per $100 of premium production. A combined ratio below 100 demonstrates underwriting profit; a combined ratio above 100 demonstrates underwriting loss.
The statutory general insurance ratios for the nine months ending September 30, 2002 and 2001 were as follows:

The adjusted underwriting profit (loss) was $1.12 billion for the first nine months of 2002 and $(27) million for the same period of 2001. Excluding WTC losses from losses incurred in 2001, adjusted underwriting profit increased $375 million or 50.5 percent in 2002 over the same period of 2001. This increase resulted principally from premium rate increases and policy form changes and exclusions.
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 over the same period that the revenues are earned.
A basic premise of GAAP accounting is the recognition of expenses at the same time revenues are earned, the principle of matching. Therefore, to convert underwriting results to a GAAP basis, acquisition expenses are deferred and recognized over the period the related premiums written are earned. Accordingly, the statutory underwriting profit has been adjusted as a result of acquisition expenses being deferred as required by GAAP. Thus, ad-
28
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. (See also the discussion under Liquidity herein.)
The underwriting environment varies from country to country, as does the degree of litigation activity. Regulation, product type and competition have a direct impact on pricing and consequently profitability as reflected by adjusted underwriting profit and statutory general insurance ratios.
AIGs results reflect the impact of incurred losses from catastrophes approximating $40 million and $817 million (which includes $769 million with respect to WTC losses) in the first nine months of 2002 and 2001, respectively. AIGs gross incurred losses from catastrophes approximated $102 million and $2.1 billion (which includes approximately $2.0 billion with respect to WTC losses) in the first nine months of 2002 and 2001, respectively. While AIG believes that it has taken appropriate steps to reduce the magnitude of possible future losses, the occurrence of one or more catastrophic events of unanticipated frequency or severity, such as a terrorist attack, earthquake, or hurricane, that causes insured losses could have a material adverse effect on AIGs results of operations, liquidity or financial condition. Current techniques and models may not accurately predict in the future the probability of catastrophic events and the extent of the resulting losses. Moreover, one or more catastrophe losses could impact negatively AIGs reinsurers and result in an inability of AIG to collect reinsurance recoverables. The impact of losses caused by catastrophes can fluctuate widely from period to period, making comparisons of recurring type business more difficult. The pro forma table below excludes catastrophe losses in order to present comparable results of AIGs recurring core underwriting operations. The pro forma consolidated statutory general insurance ratios for the nine months ending September 30, 2002 and 2001 would be as follows:
2002 | 2001 | |||||||

74.32 | 74.11 | ||||||

AIGs historic ability to maintain its combined ratio below 100 is primarily attributable to the profitability of AIGs foreign general insurance operations and AIGs emphasis on maintaining its disciplined underwriting, especially in the domestic specialty markets. 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 the first nine months of 2002 decreased 2.8 percent when compared to the same period of 2001. The growth in net investment income in 2002 has slowed significantly primarily as a result of lower earnings from the general insurance private equity portfolio. Also, interest income earned from the general insurance bond portfolio was impacted by lower yields as the proceeds from maturing fixed income securities are reinvested. However, the cash flow resulting from the growth in net premiums written should have positive impact on net investment income in future quarters. (See also the discussion under Liquidity herein.)
General insurance realized capital losses were $492 million and $147 million in the first nine months of 2002 and 2001, respectively. These realized capital losses 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. (See the discussion on Insurance Invested Assets herein.)
General insurance operating income for the first nine months of 2002 increased 37.4 percent to $2.71 billion. Excluding realized capital gains (losses) and WTC losses of $769 million from losses incurred in 2001, general insurance operating income increased 10.9 percent over the same period of 2001. The contribution of general insurance operating income to income before income taxes, minority interest and cumulative effect of accounting changes was 32.1 percent during the first nine

Reinsurance
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 general 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 held general reinsurance assets of $29.98 billion at September 30, 2002 as a result of its reinsurance arrangements. Thus, a credit exposure existed at September 30, 2002 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, 2001, approximately 43 percent of the general reinsurance assets were from unauthorized reinsurers. In order to obtain statutory recognition, nearly all of these balances were collateralized. The remaining 57 percent of the general reinsurance assets were from authorized reinsurers and over 97 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. Through September 30, 2002, these distribution percentages have not changed significantly.
AIGs allowance for estimated unrecoverable reinsurance has not changed significantly from December 31, 2001 when AIG had allowances for unrecoverable reinsurance approximating $75 million. At September 30, 2002, 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).
AIGs Reinsurance Security Department conducts ongoing detailed assessments of the reinsurance markets and current and potential reinsurers, both foreign and domestic. Such assessments include, but are not limited to, identifying if a reinsurer is appropriately licensed, and has sufficient financial capacity, and 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, AIGs 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 September 30, 2002, the consolidated general reinsurance assets of $29.98 billion include reinsurance recoverables for paid losses and loss expenses of $4.20 billion and $19.78 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 AIGs belief that the ceded reserves at September 30, 2002 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.
Reserves for Losses and Loss Expenses
At September 30, 2002, general insurance reserves for losses and loss expenses (loss reserves) amounted to $46.82 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
30
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, personal lines and certain classes of casualty lines.
Estimation of ultimate net losses and loss expenses (net losses) for long tail casualty lines of business is a complex 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 four 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, AIGs 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 AIGs 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.
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 the propertys 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.
Environmental Claims
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 continues to maintain specialized toxic tort and environmental claim units, established over a decade ago, which investigate and adjust all such asbestos and environmental claims. Highly rated with respect to claim file handling and case reserving by independent sources, these units utilize a comprehensive ground up, bottom up approach to claim adjusting by thoroughly evaluating
31
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 governments refusal to release parties.
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 the 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 September 30, 2002 are believed to be adequate as these reserves are based on the known facts and current law. Furthermore, as AIGs 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. In the future, if the environmental claims develop deficiently, such deficiency would have an adverse impact on future results of operations. (See the previous discussion on reinsurance collectibility herein.)
The majority of AIGs 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 reserves and activity for the nine months then ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, including estimates for applicable IBNR, relating to asbestos and environmental claims separately, is as follows:

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 companys 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 AIGs coverage defenses are minimal, and settlements made less than six months before the first trial setting. 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 AIGs 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.
AIGs survival ratios for involuntary asbestos and environmental claims, separately and combined, were based upon a three year average payment. These ratios at September 30, 2002 and 2001 were as follows:

Life Insurance Operations
AIGs 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.
AIGs 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. In 2001, AIG added significantly to its presence in Japan with the acquisition of AIG Star Life Insurance Co., Ltd., (AIG Star Life) as a result of the reorganization of Chiyoda Mutual Life Insurance Company. AIA operates primarily in Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. Nan Shan operates in Taiwan. AIGs principal domestic life insurance subsidiaries include American General Life, AIG Annuity and SunAmerica Life. These companies utilize multiple distribution channels including brokerage and career and general agents to offer traditional life products as well as financial investment products.

Life Insurance Results
Life insurance operating income increased 5.4 percent to $3.80 billion during the first nine months of 2002 when compared to the same period last year. Excluding realized capital gains (losses) and WTC losses of $131 million in 2001, life insurance operating income increased 17.7 percent in 2002 over the same period of 2001. The contribution of life insurance operating income to income before income taxes, minority interest and cumulative effect of accounting changes amounted to 44.9 percent during the first nine months of 2002 compared to 66.5 percent in the same period of 2001. The increase in contribution percentage in 2001 was influenced by the impact of the WTC losses on general insurance operating income and its reduced contribution to income before income taxes, minority interest and cumulative effect of accounting changes. Excluding acquisition, restructuring and related charges from income before income taxes, minority interest and cumulative effect of accounting changes during the first nine months of 2001, the contribution of life insurance operating income was 48.4 percent.
AIGs GAAP life premium income during the first nine months of 2002 represented a 7.6 percent increase from the same period in 2001. Foreign life operations produced 76.6 percent and 73.1 percent of the GAAP life premium income in 2002 and 2001, respectively.
The traditional life products, particularly individual life products, were major contributors to the growth in foreign premium income. These traditional life products, coupled with the increased distribution of financial and investment products contributed to the growth in foreign investment income. A mixture of traditional, accident and health and financial products are being sold in Japan through ALICO and AIG Star Life.
Since AIG purchased AIG Star Life, a part of income earned by AIG Star Life has resulted from surrender charges earned on policies that were either surrendered or lapsed. This favorable impact on operating income was anticipated when AIG took control. As these surrenders diminish in subsequent periods, operating income from that source will also be impacted. The majority of AIG Star Lifes future income is expected to be related to continuing premiums paid on renewal business, and new business to be generated from a growing agency force.
As previously discussed, the U.S. dollar strengthened in value in relation to most major foreign currencies in which AIG transacts business. Accordingly, for the first nine months of 2002, when foreign life premium income was translated into U.S. dollars for purposes of the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, total life premium income was approximately 2.1 percentage points less than it would have been if translated utilizing average exchange rates prevailing in 2001.
Life insurance net investment income increased 11.2 percent during the first nine months of 2002. The growth in net investment income was primarily 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 for the first nine months were $601 million in 2002 and $4 million in 2001. These realized capital losses

Underwriting and Investment Risk
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. AIGs foreign life companies limit their maximum underwriting exposure on traditional life insurance of a single life to approximately $1.5 million dollars of coverage and AIGs domestic life companies, including those of AGC, limit their maximum underwriting exposure on traditional life insurance of a single life to $2.5 million of coverage by using yearly renewable term reinsurance.
The investment risk represents the exposure to loss resulting from the cash flows from the invested assets, primarily long-term fixed rate investments, being less than the cash flows required to meet the obligations of the expected policy and contract liabilities and the necessary return on investments.
To minimize its exposure to investment risk, AIG tests the cash flows from the invested assets and the policy and contract liabilities using various interest rate scenarios to 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 AIGs foreign operations, as it has been throughout AIGs history, even though certain territories lack qualified long-term investments or there are investment restrictions imposed by the local regulatory authorities. For example, in Japan and several Southeast Asia territories, the duration of the investments is often for a shorter period than the effective maturity of the related policy liabilities. Therefore, there is a risk that the reinvestment of the proceeds at the maturity of the initial investments may be at a yield below that of the interest required for the accretion of the policy liabilities.
Additionally, there exists a future investment risk associated with certain policies currently in force which will have premium receipts in the future. That is, the investment of these future premium receipts may be at a yield below that required to meet future policy liabilities. 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. (See also the discussion under Liquidity herein.)
The asset-liability relationship is appropriately managed in AIGs domestic operations, as there is ample supply of qualified long-term investments.
AIG uses asset-liability matching as a management tool worldwide to determine the composition of the invested assets and appropriate marketing strategies. As a part of these strategies, AIG may determine that it is economically advantageous to be temporarily in an unmatched position due to anticipated interest rate or other economic changes.
For the ALICO operations in Japan, the variable life contract separate account fund performance has varied from the level assumed in the original pricing of the product. Thus, a general account liability has been established for the potential shortfall of future contract revenues. The ultimate liability is predominately dependent upon the fund performance in the future.
Financial Services Operations
AIGs financial services subsidiaries engage in diversified financial products and services including lease, consumer and premium financing, and capital markets structuring and market-making activities.

Financial Services Results
Financial services operating income increased 11.7 percent in the first nine months of 2002 over the same period of 2001. Financial services operating income represented 18.6 percent of AIGs income before income taxes and minority interest in the first nine months of 2002. This compares to 25.9 percent in the same period of 2001. The increase in contribution percentage in 2001 was influenced by the impact of the WTC losses on general insurance operating income and its reduced contribution to income before income taxes, minority interest and cumulative effect of accounting changes. Excluding acquisition, restructuring, and related charges from income before income taxes, minority interest and cumulative effect of accounting changes during the first nine months of 2001, the contribution of financial services operating income was 18.9 percent.
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 the first nine months of 2002 increased 8.2 percent from the same period of 2001. The revenue growth resulted primarily from the increase in flight equipment under operating lease and the increase in the relative cost of the leased fleet. Approximately 20 percent of ILFCs operating lease revenues are derived from U.S. and Canadian airlines. During the first nine months of 2002, operating income increased 10.7 percent from the same period of 2001. ILFC finances its purchases of aircraft primarily through the issuance of a variety of debt instruments. The composite borrowing rates at the end of the first nine months of 2002 and 2001 were 4.95 percent and 5.21 percent, respectively. (See also the discussions under Capital Resources and Liquidity herein and Note 6 of Notes to Financial Statements.)
ILFC is exposed to operating loss and liquidity strain 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. As a result of these measures and its own contingency planning, ILFC did not suffer any material losses from airline

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 the first nine months of 2002 increased 6.9 percent from the same period of 2001. During the first nine months of 2002, operating income increased 3.2 percent from the same period of 2001. As AIGFP is a transaction-oriented operation, current and past revenues and operating results may not provide a basis for predicting future performance. Revenues of AIGFP and the percentage change in revenues for any given period are significantly affected by the number and size of transactions entered into by AIGFP during that period relative to those entered into during the prior period. Operating income and the percentage change in operating income for any period are determined by the number, size and profitability of the transactions attributable to that period relative to those attributable to the prior period. The most significant component of operating expenses is compensation, which approximated 30 percent of revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001. (See also the discussions under Capital Resources, Liquidity and Derivatives herein and Note 6 of Notes to Financial Statements.)
Consumer Finance operations are comprised of AGF, which derives a substantial portion of its revenues from finance charges assessed on outstanding mortgages and finance receivables from the sub-prime market, and CFG, which is engaged in developing a multi-product consumer finance business with an emphasis on emerging markets. Although Consumer Finance revenues decreased 3.4 percent in the first nine months of 2002 from the same period in 2001, operating income increased 8.0 percent compared to the 2001 period. The decline in revenues was the result of lower yields on the finance receivables, but borrowing costs also declined significantly and spreads, and therefore profits, increased as a result.
AGF is exposed to loss when contractual payments are not received. AGF manages its collection exposure through the mix of types of loans and security thereon. (See also the discussions under Capital Resources and Liquidity herein and Note 6 of Notes to Financial Statements.)
Retirement Savings & Asset Management Operations

Retirement Savings & Asset Management Results
Retirement savings & asset management operating income in the first nine months of 2002 increased 1.0 percent when compared to the same period of 2001.
Retirement savings & asset management operating income represented 9.6 percent of AIGs income before income taxes and minority interest in the first nine months of 2002. This compares to 14.8 percent in the same period of 2001. Excluding acquisition, restructuring, and related charges from income before income taxes, minority interest and cumulative effect of accounting changes during the first nine months of 2001, the contribution of retirement savings & asset management operating income to income was 10.8 percent.
At September 30, 2002, AIGs third party assets under management, including both retail mutual funds and institutional accounts, approximated $40 billion.
Other Operations
Other realized capital losses amounted to $363 million, and $398 million in the first nine months of 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Other income (deductions)-net includes income generated by the investment of capital held by SunAmerica outside of its life insurance subsidiaries, AIGs 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, as well as the income and expenses of the parent holding company and other miscellaneous income and expenses. In the first nine months of 2002, other income (deductions) net amounted to $(68) million. In the same period of 2001, other income (deductions) net amounted to $56 million. This decline was primarily the result of weaker performance of SunAmerica investments in partnerships and private equities and 21st Centurys third quarter 2002 pre-tax charge of $37 million to write off capitalized costs associated with a software development project.
Acquisition, restructuring and related charges of $2.02 billion for the first nine months of 2001 were incurred in connection with the acquisition of AGC, including $654 million paid by AGC in connection with the termination of AGCs merger with Prudential plc.
Income before income taxes, minority interest and cumulative effect of accounting changes amounted to $8.46 billion in the first nine months of 2002 compared to $5.42 billion in the same period of 2001.
In the first nine months of 2002, AIG recorded a provision for income taxes of $2.58 billion compared to the provision of $1.54 billion in the same period of 2001. These provisions represent effective tax rates of 30.5 percent in the first nine months of 2002, and 28.3 percent in the same period of 2001.
Minority interest represents minority shareholders equity in income of certain majority-owned consolidated subsidiaries. Minority interest amounted to $251 million and $254 million in the first nine months of 2002 and 2001, respectively.
39
Income before the cumulative effect of accounting changes amounted to $5.62 billion in the first nine months of 2002 and $3.63 billion in the same period of 2001.
Net income amounted to $5.62 billion in the first nine months of 2002 and $3.50 billion in the same period of 2001. The increases in net income over the periods resulted from those factors described above.
Capital Resources
At September 30, 2002, AIG had total capital funds of $58.78 billion and total borrowings of $69.38 billion. At that date, $61.31 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.

During the first nine months of 2002, AIGFP increased the aggregate principal amount outstanding of its notes and bonds payable to $15.25 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.)
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 AIGs funding requirements through the issuance of commercial paper guaranteed by AIG. This issuance of Fundings commercial paper is subject to the approval of AIGs Board of Directors. ILFC and

AIG and Funding are parties to syndicated revolving credit facilities (collectively, the Facility) aggregating $2.75 billion. The Facility consists of $1.375 billion in a short-term revolving credit facility and $1.375 billion in a five year revolving credit facility. The Facility can be used for general corporate purposes and also to provide backup for AIGs commercial paper programs administered by Funding. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Facility as of September 30, 2002.
AGF is a party to unsecured syndicated revolving credit facilities aggregating $3.0 billion. The facilities consists of $1.5 billion in a short-term revolving credit facility and $1.5 billion in a five year revolving credit facility, which support AGFs commercial paper borrowings. There were no borrowings under this facility as of September 30, 2002. AGF had $258 million in aggregate principal amount of debt securities registered and available for issuance at September 30, 2002. AGF uses the proceeds from the issuance of notes and bonds for the funding of its finance receivables.
As of November 2001, AIG guaranteed the notes and bonds of AGC. During the first nine months of 2002, AGC issued $200 million in notes which will mature in March 2003. These notes are included in Notes and Bonds Payable in the accompanying table of borrowings.
ILFC has entered into committed revolving loans and lines of credit with commercial banks aggregating $2.85 billion to support its commercial paper program. At September 30, 2002, there were no borrowings under these facilities. During October 2002, the amount of these facilities was increased to $3.15 billion.
At September 30, 2002, ILFC had increased the aggregate principal amount outstanding of its medium term and term notes to $14.58 billion, a net increase of $2.69 billion, and recorded a net decline in its capital lease obligations of $69 million and a net increase in its commercial paper of $226 million. On January 28, 2002, ILFC registered $4.0 billion principal amount of debt securities for issuance from time to time. At September 30, 2002, $2.78 billion had been issued. During the second quarter of 2002, ILFC expanded its Euro Medium Term Note Program to $4.0 billion, under which $2.31 billion in notes were sold through September 30, 2002. Notes issued under this program are included in Notes and Bonds Payable in the accompanying table of borrowings.
ILFC had a $4.3 billion Export Credit Facility for use in connection with the purchase of approximately 75 aircraft delivered through 2001. This facility was guaranteed by various European Export Credit Agencies. The interest rate varied from 5.75 percent to 5.90 percent on these aircraft depending on the delivery date of the aircraft. At September 30, 2002, ILFC had $2.17 billion outstanding 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 ILFCs 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.)
AIGFP has established a Euro Medium Term Note Program under which an aggregate principal amount of up to $4.0 billion of notes may be issued. As of September 30, 2002, $1.72 billion of notes had been issued under the program, all of which are currently outstanding. Notes issued under this program are included in Notes and Bonds Payable in the accompanying table of borrowings.
During the first nine months of 2002, AIG issued $4 million principal amount of medium term notes and $48 million of previously issued notes matured. At September 30, 2002, AIG had

On November 9, 2001, AIG received proceeds of approximately $1 billion from the issuance of Zero Coupon Convertible Senior Debentures Due 2031 with an aggregate principal amount at maturity of approximately $1.52 billion. Commencing January 1, 2002, the debentures are convertible into shares of AIG common stock at a conversion rate of 6.0627 shares per $1,000 principal amount of debentures if AIG common stock trades at certain levels for certain time periods. The debentures are callable by AIG on or after November 9, 2006. Also, holders can require AIG to repurchase these debentures once every five years.
Capital Funds
AIGs capital funds increased $6.63 billion during the first nine months of 2002. Unrealized appreciation of investments, net of taxes increased $2.60 billion. During the first nine months of 2002, the cumulative translation adjustment loss, net of taxes, increased $303 million. The change from period to period with respect to the unrealized appreciation of investments, net of taxes was primarily impacted by the decrease in domestic interest rates. The 2001 transfer of bonds in the held to maturity, at amortized cost category to the bonds available for sale, at market value category in accordance with the transition provisions of FAS 133 resulted in a gain of $339 million recorded in the statement of comprehensive income as a cumulative effect of an accounting change adjustment. (See also the discussion under Operational Review and Liquidity herein.) The 2001 capital funds included a cumulative effect of an accounting change adjustment gain of $150 million. During the first nine months of 2002, there was a loss of $361 million, net of taxes, relating to derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedging instruments. (See also the discussion under Notes to Financial Statements and the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.) During the first nine months of 2002, retained earnings increased $5.28 billion, resulting from net income less dividends.
Stock Repurchase
During the period from January 2002 through November 1, 2002, AIG repurchased in the open market 10,858,000 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.
Dividends from Insurance Subsidiaries
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 September 30, 2002, there were no significant statutory or regulatory issues which would impair AIGs financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. To AIGs knowledge, no AIG company is on any regulatory or similar watch list. (See also the discussion under Liquidity herein.)
Regulation and Supervision
AIGs insurance subsidiaries, in common with other insurers, are subject to regulation and supervision by the states and jurisdictions in which they do business. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) has developed Risk-Based Capital (RBC) requirements. RBC relates an individual insurance companys statutory surplus to the risk inherent in its overall operations. At September 30, 2002, the adjusted capital of each of AIGs domestic general companies and of each of AIGs domestic life companies exceeded each of their RBC standards by considerable margins. Federal, state or local legislation may affect AIGs ability to operate and expand its various financial services businesses and changes in the current laws, regulations or interpretations thereof may have a material adverse effect on these businesses.
A substantial portion of AIGs 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. Licenses issued by foreign authorities to AIG subsidiaries are subject to modification and revocation. Thus, AIGs insurance subsidiaries could be prevented from conducting future business in certain of the jurisdic-

Special Purpose Vehicles
AIG uses special purposes vehicles (SPVs) primarily in connection with certain guaranteed investment contract programs (GIC Programs) written by its life insurance subsidiaries, certain products provided by AIGFP, and certain invested asset and asset management activities.
In the GIC Programs, AIGs life insurance subsidiaries (principally SunAmerica Life Insurance Company) provide guaranteed investment contracts (GICs) to SPVs which are not controlled by AIG. The SPVs issue notes or bonds which are sold to third party institutional investors. Neither AIG nor the insurance company issuing the GICs has any obligation to the investors in the notes or bonds. The proceeds from the SPVs issuance of securities are used to invest in the GICs. The insurance company subsidiaries use these proceeds to invest in a diversified portfolio of securities, primarily investment grade bonds (see also the discussion under Liquidity: Insurance Invested Assets). Both the assets and the liabilities of the insurance companies arising from these GIC Programs are presented in AIGs consolidated balance sheet. Thus, at September 30, 2002, approximately $28 billion of policyholders contract deposits represented liabilities from issuances of GICs included in
43
AIGFP uses SPVs as an integral part of its ongoing operations with respect to specific structured transactions with independent third parties. In most instances, AIGFP controls and manages the assets and liabilities with respect to these SPVs, subject to certain transaction specific limitations. These SPVs are fully consolidated by AIG (see the discussions of AIGFP under Operations Review: Financial Services Operations). AIGFP also sponsors an SPV that issues commercial paper and secured liquidity notes to third-party institutional investors. This SPV uses the proceeds of these offerings to obtain beneficial interests in certain financial assets (total assets of approximately $1 billion), which serve as collateral for the securities issued by the SPV. AIGFP provides credit and liquidity support to this SPV, which is not consolidated by AIG.
AIGs insurance operations also invest in assets of SPVs. These SPVs are established by unrelated third parties. Investments include collateralized mortgage backed securities and similar securities backed by pools of mortgages, consumer receivables or other assets. The investment in an SPV allows AIGs insurance entities to purchase assets permitted by insurance regulations while maximizing the return on these assets.
AIG provides investment management services to certain SPVs. AIG receives management fees for these services and may take a minority ownership interest in these SPVs, which interests are then included as investments in AIGs consolidated balance sheet. AIG services may be terminated with or without cause.
To facilitate and expand certain retirement savings & asset management activities, AIG establishes SPVs. AIG receives fees for management of the assets held in the SPV which support the issuance of securities such as collateralized bond obligations sold by the SPV to independent third party investors. These SPVs serve a variety of business purposes, including financing, liquidity, or to facilitate independent third party management participation.
AIG has established stringent guidelines with respect to the formation of and investment in SPVs.
Liquidity
AIGs liquidity is primarily derived from the operating cash flows of its general and life insurance operations.
At September 30, 2002, AIGs consolidated invested assets included $17.22 billion of cash and short-term investments. Consolidated net cash provided from operating activities in the first nine months of 2002 amounted to $11.48 billion.
Sources of funds considered in meeting the objectives of AIGs 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. AIGs 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 AIGs 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, AIGs insurance operations generated approximately $32.1 billion in pre-tax cash flow during the first nine months of 2002. 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. AIGs insurance investment operations generated approximately $9.5 billion in investment income cash flow during the first nine months of 2002. Investment income cash flow is primarily derived from interest and dividends received and includes realized capital gains net of realized capital losses.
With respect to general insurance operations, if paid losses accelerated beyond AIGs ability to fund such paid losses from current operating cash flows, AIG would need to liquidate a portion of its general
44
With respect to life insurance operations, if a substantial portion of the life insurance operations bond portfolio diminished significantly in value and/or defaulted, AIG would need to liquidate other portions of its life insurance investment portfolio and/or arrange financing. Potential events causing such a liquidity strain could be the result of economic collapse of a nation or region in which AIG life insurance operations exist, nationalization, terrorist acts or other such economic or political upheaval. (See also the discussions under Operational Review: Life Insurance Operations herein.)
In addition to the combined insurance pre-tax operating cash flow, AIGs insurance operations held $16.02 billion in cash and short-term investments at September 30, 2002. The aforementioned operating cash flow and the cash and short-term balances held provided AIGs insurance operations with a significant amount of liquidity.
This liquidity is available, among other things, to purchase predominantly high quality and diversified fixed income securities and to a lesser extent marketable equity securities and to provide mortgage loans on real estate, policy loans and collateral loans. This cash flow coupled with proceeds of approximately $82 billion from the maturities, sales and redemptions of fixed income securities and from the sale of equity securities was used to purchase approximately $105 billion of fixed income securities and marketable equity securities during the first nine months of 2002.

Generally, insurance regulations restrict the types of assets in which an insurance company may invest.
Fixed Maturity Investments
With respect to fixed maturities, AIGs 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, AIGs strategy is to invest in longer duration fixed maturities to maximize the yields at the date of purchase. With respect to life insurance, AIGs strategy is to produce cash flows required to meet maturing insurance liabilities. (See also the discussion under Operational Review: Life Insurance Operations herein.)
The fair value of the fixed maturity available for sale portfolio is subject to decline as interest rates rise and is subject to increase as interest rates decline. Such changes in fair value are presented as a component of comprehensive income in unrealized appreciation of investments, net of taxes.
Credit Quality
At September 30, 2002, approximately 69 percent of the fixed maturities investments were domestic securities. Approximately 32 percent of such domestic securities were rated AAA. Approximately 10 percent were below investment grade or not rated.
A significant portion of the foreign insurance fixed income portfolio is rated by Moodys, Standard & Poors (S&P) or similar foreign services.
46
Any fixed income security may be subject to downgrade for a variety of reasons subsequent to any balance sheet date.
Equity Investments
AIG invests in equities for various 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 or depreciation of investments, net of taxes as a component of comprehensive income.
Valuation of Invested Assets
The most significant impairment charge for any single credit for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was approximately $231 million net of tax with respect to AIGs holdings in WorldCom. This charge was recorded in the quarter ended June 30, 2002.
Excluding AIGs holdings in WorldCom, for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, no impairment charge with respect to any one single credit was significant to AIGs consolidated financial condition or results of operations and no individual impairment loss exceeded approximately 0.6 percent of consolidated net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. At September 30, 2002, AIG believes that the circumstances which caused WorldComs fair value to significantly decline were not characteristic of AIGs other holdings.
AIG measured the impairment charge with respect
to WorldCom by reference to the market price of the WorldCom
securities as of June 30,
2002.
Including the impairment charge with respect to AIGs holdings of WorldCom securities, the gross impairment loss net of taxes AIG recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was approximately $467 million, of which $189 million was recognized in the three months ended September 30, 2002.
The determination that a security has incurred an other-than-temporary decline in value and the amount of any loss recognition requires the judgment of AIGs management and a continual review of its investments.
In general, a security is considered a candidate for impairment if it meets any of the following criteria:
| Trading at a significant discount to par, amortized cost (if lower) or cost for an extended period of time; or, | |
| The occurrence of a discreet credit event resulting in (i) the issuer defaulting on a material outstanding obligation; or (ii) the issuer seeking protection from creditors under the bankruptcy laws or any similar laws intended for the court supervised reorganization of insolvent enterprises; or (iii) the issuer proposing a voluntary reorganization pursuant to which creditors are asked to exchange their claims for cash or securities having a fair value substantially lower than par value of their claims; or, | |
| In the opinion of AIGs management, it is unlikely that AIG will realize a full recovery on its investment, irrespective of the occurrence of one of the foregoing events. |
Once a security has been identified as potentially impaired, the amount of such impairment is determined by reference to that securitys contemporaneous market price. However, the market price following a significant credit event of any issuer may be volatile after such an event. Factors such as market liquidity, hedge fund activity, sensitivity to headline risk, and the widening of bid/ask spreads contribute to price volatility. Because of such volatility, the market price may not be indicative of the fair value of such an investment; and consequently, not indicative of a reasonable estimate of realizable value.
In AIGs judgment, if a securitys market price is too volatile and not indicative of fair value, AIG
47
As other relevant facts emerge, AIG examines such facts to determine if any further impairment has occurred. If further impairment has occurred, a charge to income will be recorded in the period such determination is made.
At September 30, 2002, the gross unrealized losses after taxes of the fixed maturity securities was approximately $3.0 billion. The average time that these securities were in a consecutive unrealized loss position was approximately seven months. At September 30, 2002, the gross unrealized losses after taxes of the equity securities portfolio was approximately $800 million. The average time that these securities were in a consecutive unrealized loss position was approximately five months.
The impact on net income of gross unrealized losses after taxes will be further mitigated upon realization, because certain realized losses will be charged to participating policyholder accounts and realization will also result in reductions in the amortization of certain deferred acquisition costs.
At September 30, 2002, the gross unrealized losses after taxes in the portfolio of fixed maturity and equity securities included the following concentrations:

At September 30, 2002, aggregate pre-tax gross unrealized gains were $14.1 billion and aggregate pre-tax gross unrealized losses were $5.8 billion. No single issuer accounted for more than three percent of the gross unrealized losses.
With respect to the gross unrealized losses after taxes, presented in the above table, $800 million related to fixed maturity securities that were below investment grade or not rated.
At September 30, 2002, the fair value of AIGs fixed maturities and equity securities portfolios aggregated approximately $236.5 billion. Of this aggregate fair value, approximately 1.7 percent represented securities trading at below 75 percent of amortized cost or cost.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the pre-tax gross realized losses incurred with respect to the sale of fixed maturity and equity securities were $2.4 billion. The aggregate fair value of securities sold was $13.1 billion, which was approximately 84 percent of amortized cost. The average period of time that securities sold at a loss during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2002 were trading continuously at a price below book value was approximately seven months.
AIG has the ability to hold any security to its stated maturity. Therefore, the decision to sell reflects the judgment of AIGs management that the security sold is unlikely to provide, on a relative value basis, as attractive a return in the future as alternative securities entailing comparable risks. With respect to distressed securities, the sale decision reflects managements judgment that the risk-discounted anticipated ultimate recovery is less than the value achievable on sale.
AIG considers non-traded securities to mean certain fixed income investments, certain structured securities, direct private equities, limited partner-
48
The methodology used to estimate fair value of non-traded fixed income investments is by reference to traded securities with similar attributes and using a matrix pricing methodology. This technique takes into account such factors as the industry, the securitys rating and tenor, its coupon rate, its position in the capital structure of the issuer, and other relevant factors. The change in fair value is recognized as a component of Other comprehensive income.
For certain structured securities, the carrying value is based on an estimate of the securitys future cash flows pursuant to the requirements of EITF 99-20. The change in carrying value is recognized in income.
Direct private equities, hedge funds and limited partnerships in which AIG holds in the aggregate less than a five percent interest, are carried at fair value. The change in fair value is recognized as a component of Other comprehensive income.
With respect to hedge funds and limited partnerships in which AIG holds in the aggregate a five percent or more interest, AIGs carrying value is the net asset value. The changes in such net asset values are recorded in income.
AIG obtains the fair value of its investments in limited partnerships and hedge funds from information provided by the sponsors of each of these investments, the accounts of which are generally audited.
Each of these investment categories is regularly tested to determine if impairment in value exists. Various valuation techniques are used with respect to each category in this determination.
Mortgage Investments
Mortgage loans on real estate, policy and collateral loans comprised 6.1 percent of AIGs insurance invested assets at September 30, 2002. AIGs insurance operations holdings of real estate mortgages amounted to $11.31 billion of which 86.5 percent was domestic. At September 30, 2002, only a nominal amount were in default. It is AIGs practice to maintain a maximum loan to value ratio of 75 percent at loan origination. At September 30, 2002, AIGs insurance holdings of collateral loans amounted to $1.49 billion, all of which were foreign. It is AIGs strategy to enter into mortgage and collateral loans as an adjunct primarily to life insurance fixed maturity investments. AIGs policy loans increased from $5.79 billion at December 31, 2001 to $6.02 billion at September 30, 2002.
Short-term Investments
Short-term investments represent amounts invested in various internal and external money market funds, time deposits and cash held.
Real Estate Investments
AIGs real estate investment properties are primarily occupied by AIGs various operations. The current market value of these properties considerably exceeds their carrying value.
Other Investments
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. (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.
Managing Market Risk
AIGs 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
49
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 AIGs 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 AIGs insurance segments as of September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001. AIG uses the historical simulation methodology which entails re-pricing all assets and liabilities under explicit changes in market rates within a specific historical time period. In this case, the most recent three years of historical market information for interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and equity index prices were used to construct the historical scenarios. For each scenario, each transaction was re-priced. Portfolio, business unit and finally AIG-wide scenario values were then calculated by netting the values of all the underlying assets and liabilities. The final VaR number represents the maximum potential loss incurred by these scenarios with 95% confidence (i.e., only 5% of historical scenarios show losses greater than the VaR figure). A one month holding period was assumed in computing the VaR figure.
The following table presents the VaR on a combined basis and of each component of market risk for each of AIGs insurance segments as of September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001. 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 ILFCs debt financings. The primary sources for the repayment of this debt and the interest expense thereon are the cash flow from operations, proceeds from the sale of flight equipment and the rollover and refinancing of the prior debt. During the first nine months of 2002, ILFC acquired flight equipment costing $4.06 billion. (See also the discussion under Operational Review: Financial Services Operations and Capital Resources herein.)
ILFC is exposed to market risk and the risk of loss of fair value and possible liquidity strain resulting from adverse fluctuations in interest rates. As of September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, 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.
51
AIG calculated the VaR with respect to the net fair value of ILFC using the historical simulation methodology, as previously described. As of September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the VaR with respect to the aforementioned net fair value of ILFC was approximately $18 million and $10 million, respectively.
AIGs Consumer Finance operations provide a wide variety of consumer finance products both domestically and overseas. Such products include mortgages, consumer loans, and retail sales finance. These products are funded through various borrowings including commercial paper and medium term notes. AIGs Consumer Finance operations are exposed to credit risk and risk of loss resulting from adverse fluctuations in interest rates. Over half of the loan balance is related to real estate loans which are substantially collateralized by the related properties.
With respect to credit losses, the allowance for finance receivable losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to absorb anticipated credit losses existing in that portfolio.
AIGFPs 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 AIGs 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 September 30, 2002, 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 $47 million of these securities. There were no securities deemed below investment grade at September 30, 2002. There have been no significant downgrades through November 1, 2002. 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.
AIGFP is exposed to credit risk. If its securities available for sale portfolio were to suffer significant default and the collateral held declined significantly in value with no replacement, AIGFP could have a liquidity strain. AIG guarantees AIGFPs debt and, as a result, is responsible for all of AIGFPs obligations.
AIGTG conducts, as principal, market making and trading activities in foreign exchange and commodities, primarily 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.

AIGFPs 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 September 30, 2002 the unrealized gains and losses remaining after the benefit of the offsets were $90 million and $108 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 and positions 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. AIGs 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 AIGs senior management.
AIG actively manages the exposures to limit potential losses, while maximizing the rewards afforded by these business opportunities. In doing so, AIG must continually manage a variety of exposures including credit, market, liquidity, operational and legal risks.
Managing Market Risk
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. AIGs 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.)
AIGs Market Risk Management Department provides detailed independent review of AIGs market exposures, particularly those market exposures of AIGFP and AIGTG. This department determines whether AIGs market risks, as well as those market risks of individual subsidiaries, are within the parameters established by AIGs 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
53
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, including interest rate swaps, currency swaps, equity swaps, swaptions, options and forwards, at market value or estimated fair value when market values are not readily available. Unrealized gains and losses, with respect to this portfolio are reflected in income currently. These valuations represent an assessment of the present values of expected future cash flows of AIGFPs transactions and may include reserves for such risks as are deemed appropriate by AIGFPs and AIGs management. AIGFP evaluates the portfolios discounted cash flows with reference to current market conditions, maturities within the portfolio and other relevant factors. The aforementioned estimated fair values are based upon the use of valuation models. These models utilize, among other things, market liquidity and current interest, foreign exchange and volatility rates. AIGFP attempts to secure reliable and independent current market prices, such as published exchange prices, external subscription services such as from Bloomberg or Reuters or third party broker quotes for use in this model. When such prices are not available, AIGFP uses an internal methodology which includes interpolation or extrapolation from verifiable prices nearest to the dates of the transactions. Historically, actual results have not materially deviated from these models. 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. Based upon this evaluation, AIGFP determines what, if any, offsetting transactions are necessary to reduce the market risk exposure 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. The recorded values of these transactions may be different than the values that might be realized if AIGFP were required to sell or close out the transactions prior to maturity. AIG believes that such differences are not significant to 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.
Additionally, depending upon the changes in interest rates and other market movements during the day, the system will produce reports for managements 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, AIGFPs senior management and local risk managers conduct a weekly review of the derivatives portfolio and existing hedges. This review includes an examination of the portfolios risk measures, such as aggregate option sensitivity to movements in market variables. AIGFPs 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.
All of AIGTGs market risk sensitive instruments are entered into for trading purposes. The fair values of AIGTGs financial instruments are exposed to market risk as a result of adverse market changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange
54
AIGTGs 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.
AIGTGs senior management has established positions and stop-loss limits for each line of business. AIGTGs 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 AIGTGs management. Reports which present each trading books position and the prior days profit and loss are reviewed by traders, head traders and AIGTGs senior management. Based upon these and other reports, AIGTGs senior management may determine to adjust AIGTGs risk profile.
AIGTG attempts to secure reliable current market prices, such as published prices or third party quotes, to value its derivatives. Where such prices are not available, AIGTG uses an internal methodology which includes interpolation or extrapolation from verifiable prices nearest to the dates of the transactions. Historically, actual results have not materially deviated from these models. The methodology may reflect interest and exchange rates, commodity prices, volatility rates, market liquidity and other relevant factors. Unrealized gains and losses with respect to AIGTGs positions are reflected in income currently.
A significant portion of AIGTGs business is transacted in liquid markets. Certain of AIGTGs derivative product exposures are evaluated using simulation techniques which consider such factors as changes in currency and commodity prices, interest rates, volatility levels, market liquidity and the effect of time.
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.
AIGFPs and AIGTGs asset and liability portfolios for which the VaR analyses were performed included over the counter and exchange traded investments, derivative instruments and commodities. Because the market risk with respect to securities available for sale, at market is substantially hedged, segregation of market sensitive instruments into trading and other than trading was not deemed necessary.
AIG calculated the VaR with respect to AIGFP and AIGTG as of September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001. AIG uses the historical simulation methodology which entails re-pricing all assets and liabilities under explicit changes in market rates within a specific historical time period. In this case, the most recent three years of historical market information for interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and equity index prices were used to construct the historical scenarios. For each scenario, each transaction was re-priced. Portfolio, business unit and finally AIG-wide scenario values were then calculated by netting the values of all the underlying assets and liabilities. The final VaR number represents the maximum potential loss incurred by these scenarios with 95% confidence (i.e., only 5% of historical scenarios show losses greater than the VaR figure).

Derivatives
Derivatives are financial arrangements among two or more parties. The returns of the derivatives 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 and options. In the normal course of business, with the agreement of the original counterparty, these contracts may be terminated early or assigned to another counterparty.
The overwhelming majority of AIGs derivatives activities are conducted through AIGFP and AIGTG, thus 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. AIGs customers such as corporations, financial institutions, multinational organizations, sovereign entities, government agencies and municipalities use derivatives to hedge their own market exposures. For example, a futures, forward or option contract can be used to protect the customers assets or liabilities against price fluctuations.
A counterparty may default on any obligation to AIG, including a derivative contract. Credit risk is a consequence of extending credit and/or carrying trading and investment positions. Credit risk exists for a derivative contract when that contract has a positive fair value to AIG. To help manage this risk, the credit departments of AIGFP and AIGTG operate within the guidelines set by the AIG Credit Risk Committee. This committee establishes the credit policy, sets limits for counterparties and provides limits for derivative transactions with counterparties having different credit ratings. In addition to credit ratings, this committee takes into account other factors, including the industry and country of the counterparty. Transactions which fall outside these pre-established guidelines require the approval of the AIG Credit Risk Committee. It is also AIGs 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 statis-
56
A significant majority of AIGFPs transactions are contracted and documented under ISDA Master Agreements. Management believes that such agreements 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 AIGFPs 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.
Discussions with respect to AIGFPs and AIGTGs counterpart credit quality, fair value source and notional amounts follow.
Counterparty Credit Quality
The following tables provide the counterparty credit quality amounts of AIGFPs and AIGTGs derivatives transactions at September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001.
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, netting under ISDA Master Agreements and applying collateral held. 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 approximated $14.44 billion at September 30, 2002 and $10.84 billion at December 31, 2001. The net replacement value for futures and forward contracts approximated $25 million at September 30, 2002 and $64 million at December 31, 2001. The net replacement value most closely represents the net credit risk to AIGFP or the maximum amount exposed to potential loss and is used for financial reporting purposes.
AIGFP determines counterparty credit quality by reference to ratings from independent rating agencies or, where such ratings are not available, by internal analysis. At September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the concentration of credit exposure with respect to counterparties judged A or higher by AIGFP was 90 percent and 93 percent, respectively.

Fair Value Source
The fair value sources of the net replacement values of AIGFPs derivatives portfolio were based on valuation models. Although these models are proprietary, the inputs were obtained from independently published exchange prices, external subscription services prices such as Bloomberg or Reuters or third party broker quotes for use in these models. When such prices are not available, AIGFP uses an internal methodology which includes interpolation or extrapolation from verifiable prices nearest to the dates of the transactions.
At September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the fair value source of the net replacement value of AIGTGs derivatives portfolio was as follows:

Notional Amounts
The notional amounts used to express the extent of AIGFPs and AIGTGs involvement in swap transactions represent a standard of measurement of the volume of AIGFPs and AIGTGs 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 AIGFPs and AIGTGs foreign exchange forwards and exchange traded futures and options contracts are determined by each of the respective contractual agreements.

Credit derivatives generally involve the purchase and sale of either credit protection on a specific loan or debt security, or credit protection above or below specified percentage thresholds with respect to credit losses on a portfolio of loans or debt securities. The vast majority of credit derivatives entered into by AIGFP provide credit protection on portfolios of loans or debt securities. Such credit protection is on a second loss basis. That is, AIGFPs exposure to credit loss occurs only after a specified initial threshold of credit loss is exceeded. In AIGFPs opinion, such thresholds are contractually set at levels which make any loss to AIGFP remote. In addition, AIGFP continually monitors the underlying portfolios to determine if such portfolios exposure to credit loss is increasing. Thus, AIGFP maintains the ability to hedge specific securities in a portfolio and thereby AIGFP further limits its exposure to loss. At September 30, 2002, the notional amount with respect to AIGFPs credit derivative portfolio was $84.9 billion.

In addition to its role as derivatives dealer through AIGFP and AIGTG, AIG and its subsidiaries, including its insurance subsidiaries, use derivatives primarily to minimize AIGs asset-liability exposure and foreign currency and interest rate exposures. These transactions are generally executed with AIGFP and AIGTG as counterparty, who in turn hedge these transactions in the market place. Thus, AIGFP and AIGTG assume the credit risk exposure.
AIG also uses derivatives to help match assets and liabilities in several of its businesses, including its insurance operations. For example, AIG can use currency and interest rate swaps to convert foreign-currency investment contract liabilities into US dollar-based exposures. Thus, these liabilities are more properly matched with US dollar assets. In life insurance, AIG uses swaps to reduce the mismatch between long dated life insurance liabilities and shorter dated local currency assets. Swaps also enable AIG to balance its asset and liability durations in consumer finance operations.
AIGs Derivatives Review Committee 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.
Generally, AIG conducts its businesses in the currencies of the local operating environment. Thus, exchange gains or losses occur when AIGs 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.
Legal risk arises from the uncertainty of the enforceability, through legal or judicial processes, of the obligations of AIGs 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.)
Important Accounting Policies
AIG considers among its most important accounting policies those policies with respect to reserves for losses and loss expenses, future policy benefits for life and accident and health insurance contracts, deferred policy acquisition costs, and fair value with respect to certain assets and liabilities of certain of the subsidiaries of AIGs financial services operations. These are the policies that require managements most significant exercise of judgment on both a quantitative and qualitative basis. Further explanation of how management exercises that judgment is included throughout this Managements Discussion and Analysis, and in the notes to the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2001.
Accounting Standards
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (FAS 142). As of January 1, 2002, AIG adopted FAS 142. FAS 142 requires AIG to discontinue the amortization of goodwill in its consolidated income statement. Amortization expense recorded in AIGs consolidated statement of income amounted to $117 million pre-tax for the first nine months of 2001 and $41 million pre-tax for the third quarter of 2001.
FAS 142 requires goodwill to be subject to an assessment of impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if circumstances indicate that a possible impairment has occurred. The assessment of impairment involves a two-step process prescribed in FAS 142, whereby an initial assessment for potential impairment is performed, followed by a measurement of the amount of impairment, if any. FAS 142 also requires the completion of a transitional impairment test in the year of adoption, with any identified impairments recognized as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principles. During the second quarter, AIG completed its transitional impairment test for 2002, resulting in no impairment.
Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill are primarily caused as a result of foreign currency translation adjustments.
