NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
a) These statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals have been made for a
fair presentation of the results shown.
b) Earnings per share of American International Group, Inc. (AIG) are based on
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period,
adjusted to reflect all stock splits. The effect of potentially dilutive
securities is not significant.
Cash dividends per common share reflect a common stock split in the form of
a 50 percent common stock dividend paid July 28, 1995. The quarterly
dividend rate per common share, commencing with the dividend paid September
22, 1995 is $0.085.
c) Supplemental cash flow information for the nine month periods ended
September 30, 1995 and 1994 is as follows:

</TABLE>
d) In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 "Accounting for Awards of
Stock-Based Compensation to Employees" (FASB 123). FASB 123 establishes
accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation
plans. These plans include stock option and stock purchase plans. FASB 123
provides employers a choice: Adopt FASB 123 accounting standards for all
stock compensation arrangements which requires the recognition of expensing
the fair value of virtually all stock compensation awards; or, continue to
account for stock options and other forms of stock compensation under the
current accounting standards (APB No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees") while also providing the disclosure required under FASB 123.
AIG expects to adopt the disclosure requirements of FASB 123 effective for
the year ended December 31, 1995 financial statements.
e) For further information, refer to the Form 10-K filing of AIG for the year
ended December 31, 1994.

During the first nine months of 1995, the net premiums written and the net
premiums earned in AIG's general insurance operations increased 9.0 percent and
11.0 percent, respectively, from those of 1994.
The growth in net premiums written in the first nine months of 1995 over
the same period of 1994 resulted from a combination of several factors.
Domestically, AIG continued to achieve general price increases in certain
commercial property and specialty casualty markets, as well as growth in
personal lines. Overseas, growth was achieved through price and volume
increases. Foreign general insurance operations produced 34.3 percent of the
general insurance net premiums written in this period of 1995 and 32.4 percent
in the same period of 1994.
During the first nine months of 1995, the U.S. dollar declined in value in
relation to most major foreign currencies in which AIG transacts business.
Accordingly, the translation of foreign net premiums written into U.S. dollars
for the purposes of consolidation caused the increase in total net premiums
written to be approximately three percentage points greater than it would have
been if translated utilizing exchange rates prevailing in the first nine months
of 1994.
Net premiums written are initially deferred and earned based upon the terms
of the underlying policies. The net unearned premium reserve constitutes the
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.
The statutory general insurance ratios for the nine month periods ended
September 30, 1995 and 1994 were as follows:

AIG's results reflect the net impact with respect to incurred losses of
catastrophes approximating $70 million and $55 million in the first nine months
of 1995 and 1994, respectively. During the first nine months of 1995, AIG's
gross incurred losses from catastrophes approximated $150 million. The Kobe
Japan earthquake which struck in early 1995 resulted in gross and net incurred
losses to AIG of approximately $73 million and $30 million, respectively. A
substantial portion of the remaining balances resulted from storms which struck
the midwestern and southern states.

<PAGE> 9
The Northridge earthquake which struck the Los Angeles area of California
in January 1994, resulted in gross and net incurred losses to AIG of
approximately $174 million and $55 million, respectively. AIG did not record any
catastrophe losses in the third quarter of 1994.
If these catastrophes were excluded from each nine months period's losses
incurred, the pro forma consolidated statutory general insurance ratios would be
as follows:
<TABLE>

</TABLE>
The maintenance of the pro forma statutory combined ratio in each period at
a level below 100 is a result of the profitability of AIG's foreign general
insurance operations and AIG's emphasis on maintaining its disciplined
underwriting within the continued overall competitiveness of the domestic market
environment as well as AIG's expense control.
Adjusted underwriting profit or loss (operating income less net investment
income and realized capital gains) represents statutory underwriting profit or
loss adjusted primarily for changes in deferred acquisition costs. The adjusted
underwriting profit in the first nine months of 1995 was $281.0 million compared
to an adjusted underwriting profit of $82.2 million recorded in the same period
of 1994. This improvement is a result of growth in AIG's foreign general
insurance operations and improved loss experience both domestically and
overseas. AIG's objective continues to be disciplined underwriting, especially
in the domestic primary casualty market, and 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 1995
increased 7.6 percent when compared to the same period of 1994. The growth in
net investment income was primarily attributable to new cash flow for
investment. The new cash flow was generated from general insurance operating net
cash flow and included the compounding of previously earned and reinvested net
investment income. (See also the discussion under "Liquidity" herein.)
General insurance realized capital gains were $61.7 million in the first
nine months of 1995, and $55.6 million in the same period of 1994. These
realized gains resulted from the ongoing management of the general insurance
investment portfolios within the overall objectives of the general insurance
operations and arose primarily from the disposition of equity securities and
available for sale and trading fixed maturities as well as redemptions of fixed
maturities.
General insurance operating income in the first nine months of 1995
increased 23.8 percent when compared to the same period of 1994. The
contribution of general insurance operating income to income before income taxes
was 58.4 percent in the first nine months of 1995 compared to 55.4 percent in
the same period of 1994. The growth rate and increase in the percentage
contribution in the first nine months of 1995 resulted from the increased
adjusted underwriting profit and the growth of net investment income.
A period to period comparison of operating income may be significantly
influenced by the catastrophe losses in any one year as well as the volatility
from one year to the next in realized capital gains. Adjusting each year to
exclude the effects of both catastrophe losses and realized capital gains,
operating income would have increased by 24.6 percent in 1995.
AIG is a major purchaser of reinsurance for its general insurance
operations. AIG is cognizant of the need to exercise good judgment in the
selection and approval of both domestic and foreign companies participating in
its reinsurance programs. AIG insures risks in over 100 countries and its
reinsurance programs must be coordinated in order to provide AIG the level of
reinsurance protection which AIG desires. These reinsurance arrangements do not
relieve AIG from its direct obligations to its insureds.
AIG's general reinsurance assets resulting from its reinsurance
arrangements amounted to $17.05 billion at September 30, 1995. A credit exposure
exists with respect to reinsurance recoverable when under the terms of the
reinsurance arrangements any reinsurer may not be able to reimburse AIG. With
respect to its reinsurance relationships, AIG manages its credit risk 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. The applica-
8
<PAGE> 10
tion of this collateral against balances due or any changes to the amount of
collateral are based on the development of losses recoverable on an individual
reinsurer basis. This development includes losses incurred but not reported
(IBNR). At December 31, 1994, approximately 59 percent of reinsurance
recoverable was from unauthorized reinsurers. In order to obtain statutory
recognition, nearly all of these balances are collateralized. The remaining 41
percent of the reinsurance recoverable was from authorized reinsurers and over
90 percent of such balances were from reinsurers rated A- (excellent) or better,
as rated by A.M. Best. Through September 30, 1995, these distribution
percentages have not significantly changed. The A.M. Best rating is a measure of
financial strength. The terms authorized and unauthorized pertain to regulatory
categories, not creditworthiness.
AIG's provision for estimated unrecoverable reinsurance has not
significantly changed from December 31, 1994. AIG has been largely successful in
its prior recovery efforts and has no significant reinsurance recoverables from
any individual reinsurer which is financially troubled (e.g., liquidated,
insolvent, in receivership or otherwise subject to formal or informal regulatory
restriction).
AIG's Reinsurance Security Department conducts ongoing detailed assessments
of the reinsurance markets and current and potential reinsurers both foreign and
domestic. Such assessments include, but are not limited to, identifying if a
reinsurer is appropriately licensed, whether a reinsurer has sufficient
financial capacity and the local economic environment in which a foreign
reinsurer operates. This department also reviews the nature of the risks ceded
and the need for collateral. In addition, AIG's Credit Risk Committee reviews
the credit limits for and concentrations with any one reinsurer.
AIG enters into certain intercompany reinsurance transactions for its
general and life operations. AIG enters these transactions as a sound and
prudent business practice in order to maintain underwriting control and spread
insurance risk among various legal entities. These reinsurance agreements have
been approved by the appropriate regulatory authorities. All material
intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
At September 30, 1995, the consolidated general reinsurance assets of
$17.05 billion include reinsurance recoverables for (i) paid losses and loss
expenses of $1.47 billion and (ii) $13.78 billion with respect to the ceded
reserve for losses and loss expenses, including ceded IBNR (ceded reserves). The
ceded reserves represent the accumulation of estimates of ultimate ceded losses
including provisions for ceded IBNR and loss expenses. The methods used to
determine such estimates and to establish the resulting ceded reserves are
continually reviewed and updated. Any adjustments therefrom are reflected in
income currently. It is AIG's belief that the ceded reserves at September 30,
1995 were representative of the ultimate losses recoverable. In the future, as
the ceded reserves continue to develop to ultimate amounts, the ultimate loss
recoverable may be greater or less than the reserves currently ceded.
At September 30, 1995, general insurance reserves for losses and loss
expenses (loss reserves) amounted to $33.28 billion, an increase of $1.84
billion or 5.9 percent over the prior year end. General insurance net loss
reserves represent the accumulation of estimates of ultimate losses, including
IBNR, and loss expenses, reduced by reinsurance recoverable net of an allowance
for unrecoverable reinsurance and minor amounts of discounting related to
certain workers' compensation claims. The net loss reserves increased $1.08
billion to $19.50 billion or 5.9 percent over the prior year end. The methods
used to determine such estimates and to establish the resulting reserves are
continually reviewed and updated. Any adjustments resulting therefrom are
reflected in operating income currently. It is management's belief that the
general insurance net loss reserves are adequate to cover all general insurance
net losses and loss expenses as at September 30, 1995. In the future, if the
general insurance net loss reserves develop deficiently, such deficiency would
have an adverse impact on such future results of operations.
In a very broad sense, the general loss reserves can be categorized into
two distinct groups: one group being long tail casualty lines of business; the
other being short tail lines of business consisting principally of property
lines and including 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
9
<PAGE> 11
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. Loss trend factors
reflect many items including changes in claims handling, exposure and policy
forms and current and future estimates of monetary inflation and social
inflation. Thus, many factors are implicitly considered in estimating the year
to year growth in loss costs. Therefore, AIG's carried net long tail loss
reserves are judgmentally set as well as tested for reasonableness using the
most appropriate loss trend factors for each class of business. In the
evaluation of AIG's net loss reserves, loss trend factors vary slightly,
depending on the particular class and nature of the business involved. For the
majority of long tail casualty lines, net loss trend factors approximating 10
percent were employed. 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 property's exposure to fire loss can be approximated
by the amount of insurance purchased.
For other property and short tail casualty lines, the loss trend is
implicitly assumed to grow at the rate that reported net losses grow from one
year to the next. The concerns noted above for longer tail casualty lines with
respect to the limited statistical credibility of reported net losses generally
do not apply to shorter tail lines.
AIG continues to receive indemnity 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. The vast majority of these asbestos and environmental
claims emanate from policies written in 1984 and prior years. Commencing in
1985, standard policies contained an absolute exclusion for pollution related
damage. However, AIG currently underwrites pollution impairment liability
insurance on a claims made basis and excluded such claims from the analyses
included herein. AIG has established a specialized claims unit which
investigates and adjusts all such asbestos and environmental claims.
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, judicial interpretations which broaden the
intent of the policies and scope of coverage and the increasing number of new
claims. The case law that has emerged can be characterized as still being in its
infancy and the likelihood of any firm direction in the near future is very
small. Additionally, the exposure for cleanup costs of hazardous waste dump
sites involves issues such as allocation of responsibility among potentially
responsible parties and the government's refusal to release parties. The cleanup
cost exposure may significantly change if the Congressional reauthorization of
Superfund expected in 1995 dramatically changes, thereby reducing or increasing
litigation and cleanup costs.
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. Such development will
be affected by the extent to which courts continue to expand the intent of the
policies and the scope of the coverage, as they have in the past, as well as by
changes in Superfund and waste dump site coverage issues. Additional liabilities
could emerge for amounts in excess of the current reserves held. Although this
emergence cannot now be reasonably estimated, it could have a material adverse
impact on AIG's future operating results. The reserves carried for these claims
at September 30, 1995 are believed to be adequate as these reserves
10
<PAGE> 12
are based on the known facts and current law. Furthermore, as AIG's net exposure
retained relative to the gross exposure written was lower in 1984 and prior
years, the potential impact of these claims is much smaller on the net loss
reserves than on the gross loss reserves. (See the previous discussion on
reinsurance collectibility herein.)
The majority of AIG's exposures for asbestos and environmental claims are
excess casualty coverages, not primary coverages. Thus, the litigation costs are
treated in the same manner as indemnity reserves. That is, litigation expenses
are included within the limits of the liability AIG incurs. Individual
significant claim liabilities, where future litigation costs are reasonably
determinable, are established on a case basis.
AIG's estimated gross and net IBNR with respect to asbestos and
environmental claims were $415 million and $125 million at September 30, 1995
and $150 million and $30 million at December 31, 1994.
A summary of reserve activity, including estimates for applicable IBNR,
relating to asbestos and environmental claims separately and combined for the
nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 was as follows:

Recently, an insurance rating agency developed a survival ratio to measure
the number of years it would take a company to exhaust both its asbestos and
environmental reserves for losses and loss expenses based on that company's
current level of asbestos and environmental claims payments. 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 respective 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. In addition to the study published by that insurance rating
agency, other published studies project significantly lower ultimate costs for
toxic waste cleanups for the insurance industry.
The developed survival ratios include both involuntary and voluntary
indemnity payments. Involuntary payments include court judgments; court orders;
covered claims with no coverage defenses; state mandated cleanup costs; claims
where AIG's coverage defenses are minimal; and settlements made less than six
months before 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 AIG's asbestos and environmental claims and proactively pursues early
settlement of environmental claims for all known and unknown sites. As a result,
AIG reduces its exposure to future environmental loss contingencies.
Accordingly, AIG's annualized survival ratios for involuntary asbestos and
environmental claims, separately and combined, were estimated as follows for the
nine month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994:

AIG's operations are negatively impacted under guarantee fund assessment
laws which exist in most states. As a result of operating in a state which has
guarantee fund assessment laws, a solvent insurance company may be assessed for
certain obligations arising from the insolvencies of other insurance companies
which operated in that state. AIG generally records these assessments upon
notice. Additionally, certain states permit at least a portion of the assessed
amount to be used as a credit against a company's future premium tax
liabilities. Therefore, the ultimate net assessment cannot reasonably be
estimated. The guarantee fund assessments, net of credits for 1994 were $48.2
million. Based upon current information, AIG does not anticipate that its net
assessment will be significantly different in 1995. Also, AIG is required to
participate in various involuntary pools (principally workers' compensation
business) which provide insurance coverage for those not able to obtain such
coverage in the voluntary markets. This participation is also recorded upon
notification, as these amounts cannot reasonably be estimated.

AIG's life insurance operations continued to show growth as a result of
overseas operations, particularly in Asia. AIG's life premium income in the
first nine months of 1995 increased 20.9 percent over the same period in 1994.
Foreign life operations produced 93.9 percent and 94.3 percent of the life
premium income in 1995 and 1994, respectively.
As previously discussed, the U.S. dollar declined in value in relation to
most major foreign currencies in which AIG transacts business. Accordingly, the
translation of foreign life premium income into U.S. dollars for purposes of
consolidation caused the increase in total premium income to be approximately
five percentage points greater than it would have been if translated utilizing
exchange rates prevailing in the first nine months of 1994.
Life insurance net investment income increased 29.3 percent in the first
nine months of 1995 over the same period in 1994. The growth in net investment
income was primarily attributable to new cash flow for investment. The new cash
flow was generated from life insurance operating net cash flow and included the
compounding of previously earned and reinvested net investment income. (See also
the discussion under "Liquidity" herein.)
The growth in the premium income of the domestic life segment primarily
resulted from the sale of a terminal funded pension plan annuity and to a lesser
extent the renewal of risk bearing premium related to corporate-owned life
insurance products. Additionally, the interest income earned on the policy loans
associated with the life products caused domestic investment income to increase
significantly.
The traditional life products, such as whole and term life and endowments,
were the major contributors to the growth in foreign premium income and
investment income, particularly in Asia, and continue to be the primary source
of growth in the life segment. A mixture of traditional, accident and health and
financial products are being sold in Japan.
Life insurance realized capital gains were $16.1 million in the first nine
months of 1995 and $62.7 million in the same period of 1994. These realized
gains resulted from the ongoing management of the life insurance investment
portfolios within the overall objectives of the life insurance operations and
arose primarily from the disposition of equity securities and available for sale
fixed maturities and redemptions of fixed maturities.
Life insurance operating income in the first nine months of 1995 increased
13.5 percent to $778.1 million from $685.4 million in the same period of 1994.
Excluding realized capital gains from life insurance operating income, the
percent increase would be 22.4 percent in 1995. The contribution of life
insurance operating income to income before income taxes amounted to 30.6
percent in 1995 compared to 31.6 percent in 1994.
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 emerging adversely in comparison to the assumptions made in
the product pricing associated with mortality, morbidity, termination and
expenses. AIG's life companies limit their maximum underwriting exposure on
traditional life insurance of a single life to approximately $1.5 million of
coverage by using yearly renewable term reinsurance. The life insurance
operations have not entered into assumption reinsurance transactions or surplus
relief transactions during the twelve month and nine month
13
<PAGE> 15
periods ended December 31, 1994 and September 30, 1995, respectively.
The investment risk represents the exposure to loss resulting from the cash
flows from the invested assets, primarily long-term fixed rate investments,
being less than the cash flows required to meet the obligations of the expected
policy and contract liabilities and the necessary return on investments.
To minimize its exposure to investment risk, AIG tests the cash flows from
the invested assets and the policy and contract liabilities using various
interest rate scenarios to assess whether there is a liquidity excess or
deficit. If a rebalancing of the invested assets to the policy and contract
claims became necessary and did not occur, a demand could be placed upon
liquidity. (See also the discussion under "Liquidity" herein.)
The asset-liability relationship is appropriately managed in AIG's foreign
operations, 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 such policy liabilities. Therefore, there is a risk that the
reinvestment of the proceeds at the maturity of the investments may be at a
yield below that of the interest required for the accretion of the policy
liabilities. At December 31, 1994, the average duration of the Japanese
investment portfolio was 5.0 years, while the related Japanese policy
liabilities were estimated to be 11.5 years. These durations have not
significantly changed during 1995. To maintain an adequate yield to manage the
interest required over the duration of the liabilities, constant management
focus is required to reinvest the proceeds of the maturing securities without
sacrificing investment quality. To the extent permitted under local regulation
and to manage more closely both duration and the required yield, AIG may invest
in qualified longer-term securities outside Japan. AIG is able to manage any
asset-liability duration difference through maintenance of sufficient global
liquidity and to support any operational shortfall through its international
financial network. Domestically, the asset-liability management process is
appropriately functioning as there are investments available to match the
duration and the required yield. (See also the discussion under "Liquidity"
herein.)
AIG uses asset-liability management as a tool to determine the composition
of the invested assets and marketing strategies. As a part of these strategies,
AIG may determine that it is economically advantageous to be temporarily in an
unmatched position due to an anticipated interest rate change or other economic
changes.
Agency and Service Fee Operations
Agency and service fee operating income in the nine months ended September 30,
1995 and 1994 was $45.9 million and $42.5 million, respectively. This was an
increase of 8.0 percent. The increase in 1995 was due to increased commission
revenue in certain of AIG's managing general agencies. Agency and service fee
operating income contributed 1.8 percent to AIG's income before income taxes in
1995 compared to 2.0 percent in 1994.
Financial Services Operations
Financial services operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and

* Represents net trading revenues.
Financial services operating income decreased 8.1 percent in the first nine
months of 1995 over the same period in 1994. The financial services operating
income in 1995 decreased as a result of the declines in the operating income of
AIG Financial Products Corp. and its subsidiaries (AIGFP), AIG Trading Group
Inc. and its subsidiaries (AIGTG) and other minor AIG financial services
operations.
AIGFP participates in the derivatives dealer market conducting, as
principal, an interest rate, currency and equity derivative products business
which includes long-dated transactions. AIGFP also enters into guaranteed
investment agreements. AIGFP's revenues and operating income in the first nine
months of 1995 were less than those for the same period of 1994. These declines
resulted from
14
<PAGE> 16
reduced activity in the market place, primarily during the first six months in
1995. Current and past performance may not provide a basis for predicting future
performance. AIGFP derives substantially all its revenues from proprietary
positions entered in connection with counterparty transactions rather than from
speculative transactions. (See also the discussions under "Capital Resources,"
"Liquidity" and "Derivatives" herein.)
International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC) primarily engages in the
acquisition of new and used commercial jet aircraft and the leasing and sale of
such aircraft to airlines around the world. ILFC derives a substantial portion
of its revenues from its leasing operations and is also engaged in the
remarketing of commercial jets to and for airlines and financial institutions.
As a result of the rising interest rate environment during 1994, ILFC's weighted
average interest rate with respect to its borrowings increased during the first
nine months of 1995 when compared to the same period in 1994. Although the
increase in interest expense had some impact on ILFC's current lease margins, it
is not anticipated that the aforementioned rise in interest rates will have any
significant impact on future operating income as lease margins generally lag
rising interest rates. Accordingly, ILFC has negotiated appropriate lease rates
on any new contracts. (See also the discussions under "Capital Resources" and
"Liquidity" herein.)
ILFC is exposed to loss through non-performance of aircraft lessees,
through owning aircraft which it would be unable to lease or re-lease at
acceptable rates or sell at lease expiration and through committing to purchase
aircraft which it would be unable to lease. ILFC manages its lessee
non-performance exposure through credit reviews and security deposit
requirements. At September 30, 1995, only 3 of 293 aircraft owned were not
leased. At November 1, 1995, these 3 aircraft have been contracted for sale. All
other aircraft remain leased. Currently, 77 percent of the fleet is leased to
foreign carriers which produces approximately the same percent of ILFC's rental
revenues. (See also the discussions under "Capital Resources" and "Liquidity"
herein.)
AIG Trading Group Inc. and its subsidiaries (AIGTG), derive a substantial
portion of their revenues from market making and trading activities, as
principals, in foreign exchange, interest rates, precious and base metals,
petroleum and natural gas. AIGTG's operating income decreased in 1995 as a
result of reduced activity and volatility of the markets in which AIGTG
participates. (See also the discussions under "Liquidity" and "Derivatives"
herein.)
Financial services operating income represented 11.4 percent of AIG's
income before income taxes in the first nine months of 1995. This compares to
14.5 percent in 1994.
Other Operations
In the first nine months of 1995, AIG's equity in income of minority-owned
insurance operations was $59.2 million compared to $38.4 million in the same
period of 1994. The equity interest in insurance companies represented 2.3
percent of income before income taxes in 1995, compared to 1.8 percent in 1994.
Other realized capital losses amounted to $23.9 million and $41.5 million
in the first nine months of 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Minority interest represents minority shareholders' equity in income of
certain consolidated subsidiaries. In the first nine months of 1995, minority
interest amounted to $27.7 million compared to $18.7 million for the same period
of 1994.
Other income (deductions) -- net includes AIG's equity in certain minor
majority-owned subsidiaries and certain partially-owned companies, realized
foreign exchange transaction gains and losses in substantially all currencies
and unrealized gains and losses in hyperinflationary currencies, as well as the
income and expenses of the parent holding company and other miscellaneous income
and expenses. In the first nine months of 1995 and 1994, net deductions amounted
to $62.7 million and $53.5 million, respectively.
Income before income taxes amounted to $2.54 billion during the first nine
months of 1995 and $2.17 billion in 1994.
In the first nine months of 1995, AIG recorded a provision for income taxes
of $707.3 million compared to the provision of $569.6 million in the same period
of 1994. These provisions represent effective tax rates of 27.8 percent in 1995
and 26.3 percent in 1994. The increase in the effective tax rate is in part due
to the profitability of domestic general adjusted underwriting relative to
income before income taxes and in part to foreign capital losses which do not
provide a current benefit.
15
<PAGE> 17
Net income amounted to $1.84 billion in the first nine months of 1995 and
$1.60 billion in the same period of 1994.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
At September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, AIG had total capital funds of
$18.73 billion and $16.42 billion, respectively, and total borrowings of $18.18
billion and $17.52 billion, respectively.
Total borrowings at September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994 were as

*AIG does not guarantee or support these borrowings.
GIAs usually serve as the primary source of proceeds for AIGFP's
investments in a diversified portfolio of securities and derivative
transactions. (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 subsidiaries. Funding
intends to continue to meet AIG's funding requirements through the issuance of
commercial paper guaranteed by AIG. This issuance of commercial paper is subject
to the approval of AIG's Board of Directors. AIGFP, ILFC and A.I. Credit Corp.
(AICCO) issue commercial paper for the funding of their own operations. AIG
guarantees AIGFP's commercial paper; AIG does not guarantee AICCO's or ILFC's
commercial paper. However, AIG has entered into an agreement in support of
AICCO's commercial paper. (See also the discussion under "Derivatives" herein.)
During 1994, AIG and Funding entered into two syndicated revolving credit
facilities (the Facilities) aggregating one billion dollars. The Facilities
consist of a $500 million 364 day revolving credit facility and a $500 million
five year revolving credit facility. The Facilities represent a consolidation of
domestic and international bilateral lines of credit and can be used for general
corporate purposes. The Facilities also provide backup for AIG's commercial
paper programs administered by Funding. At September 30, 1995, there were no
borrowings outstanding under either of the Facilities, nor were any borrowings
outstanding through November 1, 1995.
At September 30, 1995, ILFC increased the aggregate principal amount
outstanding of its medium term and term notes to $5.65 billion, a net increase
of $704.9 million. At September 30, 1995, ILFC had approximately $330 million in
aggregate principal amount of debt securities registered for issuance from time
to time. During October 1995, ILFC filed a shelf registration with respect to
$2.10 billion of debt securities, under which $100 million was sold through
October 31, 1995. The funds used to purchase flight equipment are derived
primarily from the proceeds of ILFC's debt financing. The primary sources for
the repayment of this debt and the interest expense thereon are the lease
receipts received and proceeds from the sale of flight equipment. During the
first nine months of 1995, ILFC obtained net financing of approximately $1.83
billion and sold $100 million of Market Auction Preferred Stock (MAPS) in
February, 1995. These proceeds were used for the acquisition of flight equipment
costing $2.80 billion. Additional funds were provided by operating cash flow and
the sale of flight equipment. (See also the discussions under "Operational
Review" and "Liquidity" herein.)
16
<PAGE> 18
During the first nine months of 1995, AIG did not issue any medium term
notes and $40.0 million of previously issued notes matured. At September 30,
1995, AIG had $247.0 million in aggregate principal amount of debt securities
registered for issuance from time to time. (See also the discussion under
"Derivatives" herein.)
AIG's capital funds have increased $2.30 billion in the first nine months
of 1995. Unrealized appreciation of investments, net of taxes, increased $692.3
million, primarily resulting from the decline in domestic interest rates during
the period. As a result of AIG's adoption of Financial Accounting Standards No.
115 "Accounting for Certain Investments on Debt and Equity Securities" at
December 31, 1993, unrealized appreciation of investments, net of taxes, is now
subject to increased volatility resulting from the changes in the market value
of bonds available for sale. The cumulative translation adjustment loss, net of
taxes, increased $114.0 million. Retained earnings increased $1.72 billion,
resulting from net income less dividends.
During the three month period ended September 30, 1995, AIG repurchased
220,000 shares of its common stock in the open market at a cost of $16.0
million; no shares were repurchased during the first six months of 1995.
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, 1995,
there were no significant statutory or regulatory issues which would impair
AIG's financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. (See also the
discussion under "Liquidity" herein.)
LIQUIDITY
At September 30, 1995, AIG's consolidated invested assets included approximately
$2.20 billion of cash and short-term investments. Consolidated net cash provided
from operating activities in the first nine months of 1995 amounted to
approximately $6.03 billion.
Management believes that AIG's liquid assets, its net cash provided by
operations, and access to the capital markets will enable it to meet any
foreseeable cash requirements.
AIG's liquidity is primarily derived from the cash flows of its general and
life insurance operations.
The liquidity of the combined insurance operations is derived both
domestically and abroad. The combined insurance pretax cash flow is derived from
two sources, underwriting operations and investment operations. In the
aggregate, AIG's insurance operations generated approximately $8 billion in
pretax cash flow during the first nine months of 1995. Cash flow includes
periodic premium collections, including policyholders' contract deposits, paid
loss recoveries less reinsurance premiums, losses, benefits, acquisition and
operating expenses paid. Generally, there is a time lag from when premiums are
collected and, when as a result of the occurrence of events specified in the
policy, the losses and benefits are paid. AIG's insurance investment operations
generated approximately $2.6 billion in investment income cash flow during the
first nine months of 1995. Investment income cash flow is primarily derived from
interest and dividends received and includes realized capital gains.
At September 30, 1995, the combined insurance pretax cash flow coupled with
the cash and short-term investments of $1.80 billion provided the insurance
operations with a significant amount of liquidity. This liquidity is available
to purchase high quality and diversified fixed income securities and to a lesser
extent marketable equity securities and to provide mortgage loans on real
estate, policy and collateral and guaranteed loans. With this liquidity coupled
with proceeds of approximately $11 billion from the maturities, sales and
redemptions of fixed income securities and from the sales of marketable equity
securities, AIG purchased approximately $15.2 billion of fixed income securities
and marketable equity securities and granted $2.1 billion of mortgage loans on
real estate, policy and collateral loans during the first nine months of 1995.
During 1995, AIG expects to receive approximately one billion dollars for
the redemption of held to maturity municipal bonds. During the first nine
17
<PAGE> 19
months of 1995, approximately $800 million of these securities were redeemed.
Through November 1, 1995 the redemptions of these bonds approximated $950
million. Prior to redemption, the yield on these bonds approximated eight
percent. The current estimate of the yield on the reinvestment of the proceeds
in bonds with similar characteristics is approximately six percent. AIG does not
anticipate that these redemptions will have a significant effect on AIG's
general investment income, operations, financial condition or liquidity.

With respect to fixed maturities, AIG's strategy is to invest in high
quality securities while maintaining diversification to avoid significant
exposure to issuer, industry and/or country concentrations. The growth in the
percentage distribution of fixed maturities available for sale, at market value
is primarily attributable to the decline in domestic interest rates.
At September 30, 1995, approximately 55 percent of the fixed maturity
investments were domestic securities. Approximately 39 percent of such domestic
securities were rated AAA, less than two percent were below investment grade and
less than two percent were not rated.
A significant portion of the foreign insurance fixed income portfolio is
rated by Moody's, Standard & Poor's (S&P) or similar foreign services. However,
similar credit quality rating services are not available in all overseas
locations. Thus, AIG annually reviews the credit quality of the nonrated fixed
income investments, including mortgages, in its foreign portfolio. AIG applies a
scale similar to that of Moody's and S&P to the rating of these securities.
Coupling the ratings of this internal review with those of the independent
agencies indicates that approximately 42 percent of the foreign fixed income
investments were rated AAA, less than one percent were deemed below investment
grade and approximately 4 percent were not rated at December 31, 1994. These
percent distributions have not significantly changed at September 30, 1995.
Although AIG's fixed income insurance portfolios contain only minor amounts
of securities below investment grade, potentially any fixed income security is
subject to downgrade for a variety of reasons subsequent to any balance sheet
date. There have been no significant downgrades as at November 1, 1995.
At September 30, 1995, approximately 6 percent of the fixed maturities
portfolio were Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMOs). All of the CMOs were
investment grade and approximately 77 percent of the CMOs were backed by various
U.S. government agencies. Thus, credit risk was minimal. CMOs are exposed to
interest rate risk as the duration and ultimate realized yield would be affected
by the accelerated prepayments of the underlying mortgages. There were no
interest only or principal only CMOs.
When permitted by regulatory authorities and when deemed necessary to
protect insurance assets, including invested assets, from currency risk and
interest rate risk, AIG and its insurance subsidiaries enter into derivative
transactions as end users. To date, such activities have been minor. (See also
the discussion under "Derivatives" herein.)
Short-term investments represent amounts invested in various internal and
external money market funds, time deposits and cash.
Mortgage loans on real estate, policy, collateral and guaranteed loans
comprised 10.8 percent of AIG's insurance invested assets at September 30, 1995.
AIG's insurance holdings of real estate mortgages at that date amounted to $2.03
billion of which 32.5 percent was domestic. At September 30, 1995, no domestic
mortgages and only a nominal amount of foreign mortgages were in default. At
September 30, 1995, AIG's insurance holdings of collateral loans amounted to
$815.1 million, all of which were foreign. It is AIG's practice to maintain a
maximum loan to value ratio of 75 percent at loan origination. AIG's policy
loans increased from $2.23 billion at December 31, 1994 to $3.45 billion at
September 30, 1995, with approximately one billion dollars of this increase
relating to the domestic corporate-owned life insurance product.
AIG's real estate investment properties are primarily occupied by AIG's
various operations. The current market value of these properties considerably
exceeds their carrying value.
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.
The following table is a summary of the composition of AIG's financial
services invested assets at September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994. (See also
the discussions under "Operational Review," "Capital Resources" and
"Derivatives" herein.)

As previously discussed, the cash used for the purchase of flight equipment
is derived primarily from the proceeds of ILFC's debt financing. The primary
sources for the repayment of this debt and the interest expense thereon are the
lease receipts received and proceeds from the sale of flight equipment. During
the first nine months of 1995, ILFC obtained net financing of approximately
$1.83 billion and proceeds of $100 million from the sale of MAPS for the
acquisition of flight equipment costing $2.80 billion. Additional funds were
provided by operating cash flow and the sale of flight equipment.
AIGFP's derivative transactions are carried at market value or at estimated
fair value when market prices are not readily available. These values represent
assessments of the present value of expected future cash flows. The recorded
values of these transactions may be less than the values that might be realized
if AIGFP were to sell or close out the transactions prior to maturity. AIGFP
reduces its economic risk exposure through similarly valued offsetting
transactions including swaps, trading securities, forwards and futures. AIG
believes that the impact of such limited liquidity would not be significant to
AIG's financial condition or its overall liquidity. The significant increase in
unrealized gain on interest rate and currency swaps, options and forward
transactions resulted from the decline in the U.S. dollar relative to most major
foreign currencies during the first nine months of 1995. (See also the
discussion under "Derivatives" herein.)
Securities available for sale, at market value and securities purchased
under agreements to resell are purchased with the proceeds of AIGFP's GIA
financings and other long and short term borrowings. The decline in GIA
borrowings since December 31, 1994 has been offset by the increase in certain
other financial services liabilities such as securities sold under agreements to
repurchase. (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, 1995, the average credit rating to this portfolio was AA as
determined through rating agencies or internal review. There were no securities
deemed below investment grade. There have been no significant downgrades through
November 1, 1995. Securities purchased under agreements to resell are treated as
collateralized transactions. AIGFP generally takes possession of securities
purchased under agreements to resell. AIGFP further minimizes its credit risk by
monitoring counterparty credit exposure and, when AIGFP deems necessary, it
requires additional collateral to be deposited. Trading securities, at market
value are marked to market daily and are held to meet the short-term risk
management objectives of AIGFP.
AIGTG acts as principal in certain foreign exchange, interest rate,
precious and base metals, petroleum and natural gas trading activities. AIGTG
owns inventories in the commodities in which it trades and may reduce the
exposure to market risk through the use of forwards, futures and option
contracts. AIGTG uses derivatives to manage the economic exposure of its various
trading positions and transactions from adverse movement in interest rates,
exchange rates and commodity prices. AIGTG supports its trading activities
largely through trade payables, short-term borrowings and spot commodities sold
but not yet purchased. (See
20
<PAGE> 22
also the discussions under "Capital Resources" and "Derivatives" herein.)
DERIVATIVES
Derivatives are financial arrangements among two or more parties whose returns
are linked to or "derived" from some underlying stock, bond, commodity or other
asset, or some 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 types of derivative arrangements in which
AIG transacts are swaps, forwards, futures, options and related instruments.
The most commonly used swaps are interest rate and currency swaps. An
interest rate swap is a contract between two parties to exchange interest rate
payments (typically a fixed interest rate versus a variable interest rate)
calculated on a notional principal amount for a specified period of time. The
notional amount is not exchanged. A currency swap is similar but the notional
amounts are different currencies which are typically exchanged at the
commencement and termination of the swap based upon negotiated exchange rates.
A futures or forward contract is a legal contract between two parties to
purchase or sell at a specified future date a specified quantity of a commodity,
security, currency, financial index or other instrument, at a specified price. A
futures contract is traded on an exchange, while a forward contract is executed
over the counter.
An option contract generally provides the option purchaser with the right
but not the obligation to buy or sell during a period of time or at a specified
date the underlying instrument at a set price. The option writer is obligated to
sell or buy the underlying item if the option purchaser chooses to exercise his
right. The option writer receives a nonrefundable fee or premium paid by the
option purchaser.
Derivatives are generally either negotiated over the counter contracts or
standardized contracts executed on an exchange. Standardized exchange traded
derivatives include futures and options which can be readily bought or sold over
recognized security exchanges and settled through such clearing houses.
Negotiated over the counter derivatives include forwards, swaps and options.
Over the counter derivatives are generally not traded like exchange traded
securities. However, in the normal course of business, with the agreement of the
original counterparty, these contracts may be terminated or assigned to another
counterparty.
Through AIGFP and AIGTG, AIG participates in the derivatives dealer market
acting primarily as principal. In these derivative operations AIG structures
transactions which generally permit its counterparties to enter into
transactions with respect to interest and exchange rate changes, to prices of
securities and to certain commodities and financial or commodity indices. All
significant derivatives activities are conducted through AIGFP and AIGTG.
Generally, derivatives are used by AIG's customers such as corporations,
financial institutions, multinational organizations, sovereign entities,
government agencies and municipalities. For example, a futures, forward or
option contract can be used to protect the customers' assets or liabilities
against price fluctuations.
The senior management of AIG, with review by the Board of Directors,
defines the policies and establishes general operating parameters for AIGFP and
AIGTG. AIG's senior management has established various oversight committees to
review the various financial market, operational and credit issues of AIGFP and
AIGTG. The senior managements of AIGFP and AIGTG report the results of their
respective operations to and review future strategies with AIG's senior
management.
AIG actively manages the exposures to limit the potential to loss, while
maximizing the rewards afforded by these business opportunities. In doing so,
AIG must manage a variety of exposures to risk including credit risk, market
risk, liquidity risk and legal risk.
Market risk principally arises from the uncertainty that future earnings
are exposed to potential changes in volatility, interest rates, foreign exchange
rates, and equity and commodity prices. AIG generally controls its exposure to
market risk by taking offsetting positions. AIG's philosophy with respect to its
financial services operations is to minimize or set limits for open or uncovered
positions that are to be carried. Credit risk exposure is separately managed.
(See the discussion on the management of credit risk below).
AIGFP does not seek to manage the market risk of each of its individual
transactions through an
21
<PAGE> 23
individual offsetting transaction. Rather, AIGFP takes a portfolio approach to
the management of its market risk exposure. AIGFP values its portfolio at market
value or estimated fair value when market values are not readily available.
These valuations represent an assessment of the present values of expected
future cash flows of AIGFP's transactions and may include reserves for market
risk as deemed appropriate by AIGFP's management. AIGFP evaluates the
portfolio's discounted cash flows with reference to current market conditions,
maturities within the portfolio and other relevant factors. Based upon this
evaluation, AIGFP determines what, if any, offsetting transactions are necessary
to reduce the market risk exposure of the portfolio.
The aforementioned estimated fair values are based upon the use of
valuation models. These models utilize, among other things, current interest,
foreign exchange and volatility rates. These valuation models are integrated
into the evaluation of the portfolio, as described above, in order to provide
timely information for the market risk management of the portfolio.
Additionally, depending upon the nature of interest rates and market
movements during the day, the system will produce reports for management's
consideration for intra-day offsetting positions. Overnight, the system
generates reports which recommend the types of offsets management should
consider for the following day. Additionally, AIGFP operates in major business
centers overseas and is essentially open for business 24 hours a day. Thus, the
market exposure and offset strategies are monitored, reviewed and coordinated
around the clock. Therefore, offsetting adjustments can be made as and when
necessary from any AIGFP office in the world.
As part of its monitoring and controlling of its exposure to market risk,
AIGFP applies various testing techniques which reflect potential market
movements. These techniques vary by currency and are regularly changed to
reflect factors affecting the derivatives portfolio. In addition to the daily
monitoring, AIGFP's senior management and local risk managers conduct a weekly
review of the derivatives portfolio and existing hedges. This review includes an
examination of the portfolio's risk measures, such as aggregate option
sensitivity to movements in market variables. AIGFP's management may change
these measures to reflect their judgment and evaluation of the dynamics of the
markets. This management group will also determine whether additional or
alternative action is required in order to manage the portfolio. AIG utilizes an
outside consultant to provide the managements of AIG and AIGFP with comfort that
the system produces representative values.
AIGTG's approach to managing market risk is to establish an appropriate
offsetting position to a particular transaction or group of transactions
depending upon the extent of market risk AIGTG wishes to reduce.
AIGTG senior management has established positions and stop-loss limits for
each line of business. AIGTG's traders are required to maintain positions within
these limits. These positions are monitored during the day either manually or
through on-line computer systems. In addition, these positions are reviewed by
AIGTG management. Reports which present each trading book's position and the
prior day's profit and loss are reviewed by traders, head traders and AIGTG's
senior management. Based upon these and other reports, AIGTG's senior management
may determine to adjust AIGTG's risk profile.
AIGTG attempts to secure reliable current market prices, such as published
prices or third party quotes, to value its derivatives. Where such prices are
not available, AIGTG uses an internal methodology which includes interpolation
or extrapolation from verifiable prices nearest to the dates of the
transactions. The methodology may reflect interest and exchange rates,
volatility rates and other relevant factors.
A significant portion of AIGTG's business is transacted in liquid markets.
Certain of AIGTG's derivative product exposures are evaluated using simulation
techniques which consider such factors as changes in currency and commodity
prices, interest rates, volatility levels and the effect of time. Though not
indicative of the future, past volatile market scenarios have represented profit
opportunities for AIGTG.

(a)The net replacement value with respect to futures and forward contracts and

billion.
(b)The net replacement value with respect to purchased option contracts of AIGTG
at September 30, 1995 was $468.2 million.
The interest rate risk on securities available for sale, at market, is
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, 1995, the unrealized gains and losses remaining after benefit
of the offsets were $1.2 million and $5.1 million, respectively.
AIGFP carries its derivatives at market or estimated fair value, whichever
is appropriate. Because of limited liquidity of these instruments, the recorded
estimated fair values of these derivatives may be different than the values that
might be realized if AIGFP were to sell or close out the transactions prior to
maturity. (See also the discussions under "Operational Review: Financial
Services" and "Liquidity" herein.)
Trading securities, at market value, and securities sold but not yet
purchased are marked to market daily with the unrealized gain or loss being
recognized in income at that time. These securities are held to meet the
short-term risk management objectives of AIGFP.
AIGTG acts as principal in certain foreign exchange, interest rate,
precious and base metals, petroleum and natural gas trading activities. AIGTG
owns inventories in the commodities in which it trades. These inventories are
carried at market and may be substantially hedged. AIGTG uses derivatives to
manage the economic exposure of its various trading positions and transactions
from adverse movements in interest rates, exchange rates and commodity prices.
(See also the discussions under "Operational Review: Financial Services" and
"Liquidity" herein.)
A counterparty may default on any obligation to AIG, including a derivative
contract. Credit risk is a consequence of extending credit and/or carrying
trading and investment positions. Credit risk exists for a derivative contract
when that contract has an estimated positive fair value. To help manage this
risk, the credit departments of AIGFP and AIGTG operate within the guidelines of
the AIG Credit Risk Committee, which sets credit policy and limits for
counterparties and provides limits for derivative transactions with
counterparties having different credit ratings. In addition to credit ratings,
this committee takes into account the industry and country of the counterparty.
Transactions which fall outside these pre-established guidelines require the
approval of the AIG Credit Risk Committee. It is also AIG's policy to establish
reserves for potential credit impairment when necessary.
AIGFP and AIGTG determine the credit quality of each of their
counterparties taking into account credit ratings assigned by recognized
statistical rating organizations. If it is determined that a counterparty
requires credit enhancement, then one or more enhancement techniques will be
used. Examples of such enhancement techniques include letters of credit,
guarantees, collateral and margin agreements.
The significant majority of AIGFP's transactions are contracted and
documented under master netting agreements that provide for set-off and close
23
<PAGE> 25
out netting in the event of default. Excluding regulated exchange transactions,
AIGTG, whenever possible, enters into netting agreements with its counterparties
which are similar in effect to those discussed above.
The following tables provide the notional and contractual amounts of
AIGFP's derivatives portfolio at September 30, 1995. The notional amounts used
to express the extent of AIGFP's involvement in derivatives transactions
represent a standard of measurement of the volume of AIGFP's swaps business.
Notional amount is not a quantification of market risk or credit risk and it may
not necessarily be recorded on the balance sheet. Notional amounts represent
those amounts used to calculate contractual cash flows to be exchanged and are
not paid or received, except for certain contracts such as currency swaps. The
timing and the amount of cash flows relating to foreign exchange forwards and
exchange traded futures and options contracts are determined by the contractual
agreements.
AIGFP extensively uses legally enforceable master closeout netting
agreements. Thus, contracts subject to such arrangements permit AIGFP to offset
its receivables from and payables to the same counterparty. As a result, the net
replacement value represents the net sum of estimated positive fair values after
the application of such agreements and collateral held. The net replacement
value most closely represents the net credit risk to AIGFP or the maximum amount
exposed to potential loss.

Generally, AIG manages and operates its businesses in the currencies of the
local operating environment. Thus, exchange gains or losses occur when AIG's
foreign currency net investment is affected by changes in the foreign exchange
rates relative to the U.S. dollar from one reporting period to the next.
As an end-user, AIG and its subsidiaries, including its insurance
subsidiaries, use derivatives to aid in managing AIG's foreign exchange
translation exposure. Derivatives may also be used to minimize certain exposures
with respect to AIG's debt financing and insurance investment operations; to
date, such activities have been minor.
AIG, through its Foreign Exchange Operating Committee, evaluates its
worldwide consolidated net asset or liability positions and manages AIG's
translation exposure to adverse movement in currency exchange rates. AIG may use
forward exchange contracts and purchased options where the cost of such is
reasonable and markets are liquid to reduce these exchange translation
exposures. The exchange gain or loss with respect to these hedging instruments
is recorded on an accrual basis as a component of the cumulative translation
adjustment account in capital funds. AIG's largest currency net investments have
had historically stable exchange rates with respect to the U.S. dollar.
Management of AIG's liquidity profile is designed to ensure that even under
adverse conditions AIG is able to raise funds at the most economical cost to
fund maturing liabilities and capital and liquidity requirements of its
subsidiaries. Sources of funds considered in meeting these objectives include
guaranteed investment agreements, issuance of long and short-term debt,
maturities and sales of securities available for sale, securities sold under
repurchase agreements, trade payables, securities and spot commodities sold, not
yet purchased, issu-

ance of equity, and cash provided from operations. AIG's strong capital position
is integral to managing liquidity, as it enables AIG to raise funds in diverse
markets worldwide. (See also the discussions under "Capital Resources" and
"Liquidity" herein.)
Legal risk arises from the uncertainty of the enforceability, through legal
or judicial processes, of the obligations of AIG's clients and counterparties,
including contractual provisions intended to reduce credit exposure by providing
for the netting of mutual obligations. (See also the discussion on master
netting agreements above.) AIG seeks to eliminate or minimize such uncertainty
through continuous consultation with internal and external legal advisors, both
domestically and abroad, in order to understand the nature of legal risk, to
improve documentation and to strengthen transaction structure.
Over the counter derivatives are not transacted in an exchange traded
environment. The futures exchanges maintain considerable financial requirements
and surveillance to ensure the integrity of exchange traded futures and options.
Over the counter derivatives dealers have drafted a code of conduct to
provide standards for their industry. The alternative to self-regulation is
federal regulation. AIG supports self-regulation and expects to adhere to
promulgated standards.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
In 1989, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) adopted
the "NAIC Solvency Policing Agenda for 1990". Included in this agenda was the
development of Risk-Based Capital (RBC) requirements. RBC relates an individual
insurance company's statutory surplus to the risk inherent in its overall
operations.
At December 31, 1994, the adjusted capital of AIG's domestic general
companies and of each of AIG's four domestic life companies exceeded each of
their RBC standards by considerable margins. There has been no significant
change during the first nine months of 1995. Additionally, no AIG company is on
any regulatory or similar "watch list".
ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" (FASB 121). This
statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles
be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable and an impairment
loss must be recognized.
FASB 121 is effective for AIG commencing January 1, 1996. AIG does not
anticipate adopting FASB 121 before that date. AIG believes that the adoption of
this statement will have an immaterial impact on the results of operations,
financial condition and liquidity.
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 "Accounting for Awards of Stock-Based
Compensation to Employees" (FASB 123). FASB 123 establishes accounting and
reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation plans. These plans
include stock option and stock purchase plans. FASB 123 provides employers a
choice: Adopt FASB 123 accounting standards for all stock compensation
arrangements which requires the recognition of expensing the fair value of
virtually all stock compensation awards; or, continue to account for stock
options and other forms of stock compensation under the current accounting
standards (APB No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees") while also
providing the disclosure required under FASB 123. AIG expects to adopt the
disclosure requirements of FASB 123 effective for the year ended December 31,
1995 financial statements.

</TABLE>
- ---------------
* The proportion deemed representative of the interest factor.
The ratio shown is significantly affected as a result of the inclusion of
the fixed charges and operating results of AIG Financial Products Corp. and its
subsidiaries (AIGFP). AIGFP structures borrowings through guaranteed investment
agreements and engages in other complex financial transactions, including
interest rate and currency swaps. In the course of its business, AIGFP enters
into borrowings that are primarily used to purchase assets that yield rates
greater than the rates on the borrowings with the intent of earning a profit on
the spread and to finance the acquisition of securities utilized to hedge
certain transactions. The pro forma ratios of earnings to fixed charges, which
exclude the effects of the operating results of AIGFP, are 4.67 and 5.17 for the
third quarter and 4.67 and 5.45 for the first nine months of 1995 and 1994,
respectively. As AIGFP will continue to be a subsidiary, AIG expects that these
ratios will continue to be lower than they would be if the fixed charges and
operating results of AIGFP were not included therein.
