Parts I, II and IV and Registrant's Proxy Statement dated March 7, 2001 into
Parts I, III and IV.

PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
--------
Cincinnati Financial Corporation ("CFC") was incorporated on
September 20, 1968 under the laws of the State of Delaware. On April 4, 1992,
the shareholders voted to adopt an Agreement of Merger by means of which the
reincorporation of the Corporation from the State of Delaware to the State of
Ohio was accomplished. CFC owns 100% of The Cincinnati Insurance Company
("CIC"), 100% of CFC Investment Company ("CFC-I") and 100% of CinFin Capital
Management Company ("CinFin"). CFC is the parent for CIC, CFC-I and CinFin.
CIC, incorporated in August, 1950, is an insurance carrier presently
licensed to conduct multiple line underwriting in accordance with Section
3941.02 of the Revised Code of Ohio. This includes the sale of fire, automobile,
casualty, bonds, and all related forms of property casualty insurance in 50
states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. CIC is not authorized to
write any other forms of insurance. CIC is in a highly competitive industry and
competes in varying degrees with a large number of stock and mutual companies.
CIC also owns 100% of the stock of the following insurance companies.
1. The Cincinnati Life Insurance Company ("CLIC") incorporated in 1987 under
the laws of Ohio for the purpose of acquiring the business of Inter-Ocean
and The Life Insurance Company of Cincinnati. CLIC acquired The Life
Insurance Company of Cincinnati and Inter-Ocean Insurance Company on
February 1, 1988. CLIC is licensed for the sale of life insurance and
accident and health insurance in 48 states and the District of Columbia.
2. The Cincinnati Casualty Company ("CCC") (formerly the Queen City Indemnity
Company), incorporated in 1972 under the laws of Ohio, is licensed in the
fire and casualty insurance business on both a direct and agency billing
basis in 40 states. The business of CIC and CCC is conducted separately,
and there are no plans for combining the business of said companies. CCC
reinsures substantially all of their business to CIC.
3. The Cincinnati Indemnity Company ("CID"), incorporated in 1988 under the
laws of Ohio, is engaged in the writing of nonstandard personal and
casualty lines of insurance in 31 states. The business of CIC and CID is
conducted separately, and there are no plans for combining the business of
said companies. CID reinsures substantially all of their business to CIC.
CFC-I, incorporated in 1970, owns certain real estate in the Greater
Cincinnati area and is in the business of leasing or financing various items,
principally automobiles, trucks, computer equipment, machine tools, construction
equipment, and office equipment.
CinFin, incorporated in 1998, offers investment management services
to corporations, insurance agencies and companies, institutions, pension plans,
and high net worth individuals.
Industry segment information for revenues, income before income
taxes, and identifiable assets is included on page 42 of the Company's Annual
Report to Shareholders and is incorporated herein by reference (see Exhibit 13
to this filing).
As more fully discussed in pages 6 through 17 in the Company's Annual
Report to Shareholders, incorporated herein by reference (see Exhibit 13 to this
filing), the Company sells insurance primarily in the Midwest and Southeast
through a network of a limited number (969 in 31 states at December 31, 2000) of
selectively appointed independent agents, many of whom own stock in the Company.
Net earned premiums by property casualty lines increased 10% to $1.828 billion
in 2000. The Company's mix of property casualty business did not change
significantly in 2000. Life and accident and health insurance (which constituted
4% of the Company's premium income for 2000) is sold primarily through property
casualty agencies and independent life agencies. The earned premium growth rate
of 6% compares to 7% growth in 1999 and 11% in 1998.

The consolidated financial statements include the estimated liability
for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses ("LAE") of the Company's property
casualty insurance subsidiaries. Property casualty insurance is written in 50
states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. The liabilities for losses
and LAE are determined using case-basis evaluations and statistical projections
(for estimates of unreported claims) and represent estimates of the ultimate net
cost of all unpaid losses and LAE incurred through December 31 of each year.
These estimates are subject to the effect of trends in future claim severity and
frequency. These estimates are continually reviewed; and as experience develops
and new information becomes known, the liability is adjusted as necessary. Such
adjustments, if any, are reflected in current operations.
The Company does not discount any of its property casualty
liabilities for unpaid losses and unpaid loss adjustment expenses.
There are two tables used to present an analysis of the liability for
losses and LAE. The first table, providing a reconciliation of beginning and
ending liability balances for 2000, 1999, and 1998, is on page 37 in the
Company's Annual Report to Shareholders, incorporated herein by reference (see
Exhibit 13 to this filing). The second table, showing the development of the
estimated liability for the ten years prior to 2000 is presented on the next
page.
The reconciliation referred to in the preceding paragraph shows
recognition of approximately $20,000,000 in redundant reserves during 2000
related to the December 31, 1999 liability. This redundancy is due in part to
the effects of settling case reserves established in prior years for less than
expected and also in part to the over estimation of the severity of incurred but
not reported (IBNR) losses. Average severity continues to increase primarily
because of increases in medical costs related to workers' compensation and auto
liability insurance. Litigation expenses for recent court cases on pending
liability claims continue to be very costly; and judgments continue to be high
and difficult to estimate. Reserves for environmental claims have been reviewed,
and the Company believes that the reserves are adequate. Environmental exposures
are minimal as a result of the types of risks we have insured in the past.
Historically, most commercial accounts are written with post-date coverages that
afford clean-up costs and Superfund responses.
The anticipated effect of inflation is implicitly considered when
estimating liabilities for losses and LAE. While anticipated price increases due
to inflation are considered in estimating the ultimate claim costs, the increase
in average severities of claims is caused by a number of factors that vary with
the individual type of policy written. Average severities are based on
historical trends adjusted for anticipated changes in underwriting standards,
policy provisions, and general economic trends. These trends are monitored based
on actual development and are modified if necessary.
The principal reason for differences between the property casualty
liabilities reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and that
reported in the annual statements filed with state insurance departments in
accordance with statutory accounting practices ("SAP") relates to the reporting
of reinsurance recoverables which are recognized as receivables for GAAP
purposes and as an offset to reserves for SAP purposes.

The table above presents the development of balance sheet
liabilities for 1990 through 2000. The top line of the table shows the
estimated liability for unpaid losses and LAE recorded at the balance
sheet date for each of the indicated years. This liability represents
the estimated amount of losses and LAE for claims arising in all prior
years that are unpaid at the balance sheet date, including losses that
had been incurred but not yet reported to the Company. The upper
portion of the table shows the reestimated amount of the previously
recorded liability based on experience as of the end of each succeeding
year. The estimate is increased or decreased as more information
becomes known about the frequency and severity of claims for individual
years.

5
The "net cumulative redundancy" represents the aggregate change in
the estimates over all prior years. For example, the 1990 liability has
developed a $108,000,000 redundancy over ten years and has been reflected in
income over the ten years. The effects on income of the past three years of
changes in estimates of the liabilities for losses and LAE for all accident
years is shown in the reconciliation table referred to above.
The lower section of the table shows the cumulative amount paid with
respect to the previously recorded liability as of the end of each succeeding
year. For example, as of December 31, 2000, the Company had paid $650,000,000 of
the currently estimated $725,000,000 of losses and LAE that have been incurred
as of the end of 1990; thus an estimated $75,000,000 of losses incurred as of
the end of 1990 remain unpaid as of the current financial statement date.
In evaluating this information, it should be noted that each amount
includes the effects of all changes in amounts for prior periods. For example,
the amount of deficiency or redundancy related to losses settled in 1995, but
incurred in 1990, will be included in the cumulative deficiency or redundancy
amount for 1990 and each subsequent year. This table does not present accident
or policy year development data which readers may be more accustomed to
analyzing. Conditions and trends that have affected development of the liability
in the past may not necessarily occur in the future. Accordingly, it may not be
appropriate to extrapolate future redundancies or deficiencies based on this
table.
The Company limits the maximum net loss that can arise by large risks
or risks concentrated in areas of exposure by reinsuring (ceding) with other
insurers or reinsurers. The Company's property casualty risk retention program
is affected by various factors, which include, but are not limited to, the
Company's changes in underwriting practices, the capacity to retain risks, and
reinsurance market conditions. The Companies property casualty treaties provide
coverage up to $25,000,000 per occurrence, excess of retention limits. The
Company raised its casualty line per occurrence retention limits in 1995 and
1999 from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 to $2,400,000, respectively, and raised its
property line per occurrence retention limits in 1995 from $1,000,000 to
$2,000,000. The Company reinsures with only financially sound companies. The
composition of its reinsurers has not changed, and the Company has not
experienced any uncollectible reinsurance amounts or coverage disputes with its
reinsurers in more than ten years.
Information concerning the Company's investment strategy and
philosophy is contained on pages 25 through 28 of the Annual Report to
Shareholders, incorporated herein by reference (see Exhibit 13 to this filing).
The Company's primary strategy is to maintain liquidity to meet both its
immediate and long-range insurance obligations through the purchase and
maintenance of medium-risk fixed maturity and equity securities, while earning
optimal returns on medium-risk equity securities which offer growing dividends
and capital appreciation. The Company usually holds these securities to maturity
unless there is a change in credit risk or the securities are called by the
issuer. Historically, municipal bonds (focusing on the essential services, i.e.
schools, sewer, water, etc.) have been attractive to the Company due to their
tax exempt features. Because of Alternative Minimum Tax matters, the Company
uses a blend of tax-exempt and taxable fixed maturity securities. Investments in
common stocks have been made with an emphasis on securities with an annual
dividend yield of at least 2 to 3 percent and annual dividend increases. The
Company's strategy in equity investments is to identify approximately 10 to 12
companies in which it can accumulate 10 to 20 percent of their common stock. As
a long-term investor, a buy and hold strategy has been followed for many years,
resulting in an accumulation of a significant amount of unrealized appreciation
on equity securities.
As of December 31, 2000, CFC employed 3,106 associates.
