NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for complete consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of American International Group, Inc. (AIG) for the year ended December 31, 2009 (2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K).
In the opinion of management, these consolidated financial statements contain the normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results presented herein. AIG evaluated the need to disclose events that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the application of accounting policies that often involve a significant degree of judgment. AIG considers its accounting policies that are most dependent on the application of estimates and assumptions, and therefore viewed as critical accounting estimates, to be those relating to items considered by management in the determination of:
These accounting estimates require the use of assumptions about matters, some of which are highly uncertain at the time of estimation. To the extent actual experience differs from the assumptions used, AIG's consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows would be materially affected.
Out of Period Adjustments
For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010, AIG recorded out of period adjustments relating to prior periods that increased Net loss attributable to AIG by $151 million and $279 million, respectively, primarily related to the effect of recording impairments on certain consolidated investments held in the Institutional Asset Management operations, which affected the calculation of income taxes, and a foreign currency adjustment. While these adjustments were noteworthy for the periods, after evaluating the quantitative and qualitative aspects of
11
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
these corrections, AIG concluded that its prior period financial statements were not materially misstated and, therefore, no restatement was required.
Had these and all previously reported out of period adjustments been recorded in their appropriate periods, Net loss attributable to AIG for the year ended December 31, 2009 would have increased by $644 million, from $10.9 billion to $11.6 billion.
In the audited financial statements included in the 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K, management disclosed the conditions and events that led management to conclude that AIG would have adequate liquidity to finance and operate AIG's businesses, execute its asset disposition plan and repay its obligations for at least the next twelve months.
Liquidity of Parent and Subsidiaries
AIG manages liquidity at both the parent and subsidiary levels. AIG Parent has not had access to its traditional sources of financing through the public debt markets since September 2008. AIG is currently evaluating its ability to re-access the capital markets.
Historically, AIG depended on dividends, distributions, and other payments from subsidiaries to fund payments on its obligations. In light of AIG's current financial situation, certain of its regulated subsidiaries are restricted from making dividend payments, or advancing funds, to AIG. As a result, AIG has also been dependent on the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) Credit Facility (the FRBNY Credit Facility) provided by the FRBNY under the Credit Agreement, dated as of September 22, 2008 (as amended, the FRBNY Credit Agreement), between AIG and the FRBNY, and the FRBNY's Commercial Paper Funding Facility (CPFF), through April 26, 2010, as its primary sources of liquidity; and on the agreement by the United States Department of the Treasury (the Department of the Treasury) to provide up to $29.835 billion (Department of Treasury Commitment) in exchange for increases in the liquidation preference of the AIG Series F Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $5.00 per share (AIG Series F Preferred Stock), to support the capital needs of its insurance company subsidiaries. Primary uses of cash flow are debt service and subsidiary funding.
During the first six months of 2010, International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC) and American General Finance, Inc. (AGF) made substantial progress in addressing their liquidity needs.
During the first six months of 2010, ILFC significantly increased its liquidity position through a combination of new secured and unsecured debt issuances of approximately $4.0 billion and an extension of the maturity date of $2.16 billion of its $2.5 billion revolving credit facility from October 2011 to October 2012. Availability of $501 million of the approximately $4.0 billion of debt issuances and the extension of $2.16 billion of the revolving credit facility are subject to the satisfaction of certain collateralization milestones. In addition, during the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, ILFC agreed to sell 61 aircraft to third parties, of which 56 aircraft, with an aggregate book value of approximately $2.6 billion, met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. The aircraft classified as held for sale are expected to generate approximately $2.2 billion in gross proceeds during 2010. During the second quarter of 2010, three of the 61 aircraft were sold, of which one had been classified as held for sale. At June 30, 2010, 55 aircraft were recorded in Assets held for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
During the first six months of 2010, AGF significantly enhanced its liquidity position through the following actions: AGF received cash proceeds of more than $500 million from a $1.0 billion asset securitization and executed and drew down fully a $3.0 billion five-year secured term loan. AGF used a portion of the proceeds from these transactions, cash on hand and proceeds from AIG's repayment of two demand promissory notes to repay all of its outstanding obligations under its $2.45 billion one-year term loans and its $2.125 billion five-year revolving credit facility (both of which were due in July 2010).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
Certain subsidiaries also have been dependent on the FRBNY and the Department of the Treasury to meet collateral posting requirements, to make debt repayments as amounts come due, and to meet capital or liquidity requirements. AIG expects that collateral posting requirements for AIGFP will continue to be reduced through the wind-down period.
Progress on Management's Plans for Stabilization of AIG and Repayment of AIG's Obligations as They Come Due
Since September 2008, AIG has been working to protect and enhance the value of its key businesses, execute an orderly asset disposition plan, and position itself for the future. AIG continually reassesses this plan to maximize value while maintaining flexibility in managing its liquidity and capital. In accordance with its longstanding commitment to repay its obligations to the U.S. Government, AIG has commenced discussions with the FRBNY, the Department of the Treasury and the trustees of the AIG Credit Facility Trust, a trust established for the sole benefit of the United States Treasury (together with its trustees, the Trust), with respect to a proposed strategy to repay the FRBNY Credit Facility and allow the government to exit its ownership relationship with AIG.
Sales of Businesses and Specific Asset Dispositions
ALICO Sale
On March 7, 2010, AIG and ALICO Holdings LLC, a special purpose vehicle formed by AIG (ALICO Holdings), entered into a definitive agreement (the ALICO Stock Purchase Agreement) with MetLife, Inc. (MetLife) for the sale of American Life Insurance Company (ALICO) by ALICO Holdings to MetLife, and the sale of Delaware American Life Insurance Company by AIG to MetLife, for approximately $15.5 billion, consisting of $6.8 billion in cash and the remainder in equity securities of MetLife, subject to closing adjustments.
The cash portion of the proceeds from this sale will be paid to the FRBNY to reduce the liquidation preference of a portion of the preferred interests owned by the FRBNY in ALICO Holdings (together with the preferred interests owned by the FRBNY in AIA Holdings, the Preferred Interests). Upon the closing of this sale to MetLife, ALICO Holdings will receive and pay to the FRBNY the cash consideration and will hold the remainder of the transaction consideration, consisting of 78,239,712 shares of MetLife common stock, 6,857,000 shares of newly issued participating preferred stock convertible into 68,570,000 shares of common stock upon the approval of MetLife shareholders, and 40,000,000 equity units of MetLife with an aggregate stated value of $3 billion. AIG intends to monetize these MetLife securities over time, subject to market conditions, following the lapse of agreed-upon minimum holding periods. Approximately $3 billion in MetLife securities will be held in escrow to support indemnity claims, if any, which will wind down over a 30-month period. Unless otherwise agreed with the FRBNY, net cash proceeds from the monetization of these securities will be used to reduce the liquidation preference of the preferred interests owned by the FRBNY in ALICO Holdings and thereafter to repay any outstanding debt under the FRBNY Credit Facility.
Other Sales
In the fourth quarter of 2009, AIG entered into an agreement to sell its 97.57 percent share of Nan Shan Life Insurance Company, Ltd. (Nan Shan) for approximately $2.15 billion. In the second quarter of 2010, AIG entered into an agreement with the Nan Shan purchasers, whereby on the closing of the sale of Nan Shan, the purchasers will deposit $325 million of the $2.15 billion purchase price into an escrow account for possible use by Nan Shan if its risk-based capital ratio falls below 200 percent during the four-year period after the closing of the sale. Any amount left in escrow at the end of the four-year period will be released to AIG.
Dispositions of certain businesses will be subject to regulatory approval. Unless a waiver is obtained from the FRBNY, net proceeds from these dispositions, after taking into account taxes and transaction expenses, to the extent such proceeds do not represent capital of AIG's insurance subsidiaries required for regulatory or ratings purposes or are not to be utilized to redeem the Preferred Interests, are contractually required to be applied toward the repayment of the FRBNY Credit Facility as mandatory prepayments.
13
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
From September 2008 through July 28, 2010, AIG entered into agreements to sell or completed the sale of operations and assets that generated or are expected to generate approximately $23.1 billion in aggregate net proceeds, including the MetLife securities discussed above. Of this amount, $17.3 billion in aggregate net proceeds represents amounts not yet collected on various transactions, the largest of which are the ALICO and Nan Shan transactions referred to above. Unless a waiver is obtained from the FRBNY, net proceeds collected (or monetized, in the case of the MetLife securities) by AIG are generally required to be applied toward the repayment of the FRBNY Credit Facility as mandatory prepayments, except for net cash proceeds on the ALICO sale which would first be used to reduce the liquidation preference of the preferred interests owned by the FRBNY in ALICO holdings, which was approximately $9.2 billion, including accrued return, as of June 30, 2010, and thereafter to repay any outstanding debt under the FRBNY Credit Facility. Through July 28, 2010, $1.4 billion has been paid to the FRBNY under the FRBNY Credit Facility as mandatory prepayments. AIG has also made payments of approximately $3.6 billion to the FRBNY that could be determined to be mandatory prepayments in the future. Proceeds from sales of assets of AIG Financial Products Corp. and AIG Trading Group, Inc. (collectively, AIGFP) are excluded from these amounts because the FRBNY waived the requirement that the proceeds from these specific sales be applied as mandatory prepayments. Gains and losses recorded in connection with the dispositions of businesses include estimates that are subject to subsequent adjustment. Based on the transactions closed to date, AIG does not believe that such adjustments will be material to future consolidated results of operations or cash flows.
AIA Transaction
As of March 1, 2010, AIG and AIA Aurora LLC, a special purpose vehicle formed by AIG (AIA Holdings), entered into a definitive agreement (the AIA Share Purchase Agreement) with Prudential plc (Prudential) and Prudential Group Limited (formerly known as Petrohue (UK) Investments Limited), for the sale of AIA Group Limited (AIA) to Prudential Group Limited for approximately $35.5 billion.
On June 1, 2010, Prudential proposed revised terms to acquire AIA. AIG's Board of Directors declined the proposal. On June 2, 2010, AIG and Prudential terminated the transaction. As a result, AIG concluded that it is no longer probable that it will close a sale of AIA within twelve months. Accordingly, AIA is no longer being presented as held for sale or as a discontinued operation in the Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 2 herein for discussion of segment reporting presentation.
In accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement, Prudential paid AIG a termination fee of $228 million, which was included in Net loss (gain) on sale of divested businesses in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss).
In July 2010, AIG announced plans to conduct an initial public offering of AIA by seeking a listing of AIA on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, subject to regulatory approvals and market conditions.
Management's Assessment and Conclusion
In assessing AIG's current financial position and developing operating plans for the future, management has made significant judgments and estimates with respect to the potential financial and liquidity effects of AIG's risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to:
14
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
contractual termination provisions and the amount that would be required to be paid in the event of a downgrade;
Based on the U.S. government's continuing commitment, the already completed transactions with the FRBNY, management's plans and progress made to stabilize AIG's businesses and dispose of certain assets, and after consideration of the risks and uncertainties of such plans, management believes that it will have adequate liquidity to finance and operate AIG's businesses, execute its asset disposition plan and repay its obligations for at least the next twelve months.
It is possible that the actual outcome of one or more of management's plans could be materially different, or that one or more of management's significant judgments or estimates about the potential effects of these risks and uncertainties could prove to be materially incorrect or that the transactions with the FRBNY discussed above fail to achieve the desired objectives. If one or more of these possible outcomes is realized and third party financing is not available, AIG may need additional U.S. government support to meet its obligations as they come due. Under these adverse assumptions, without additional support from the U.S. government in the future there could exist substantial doubt about AIG's ability to continue as a going concern.
In connection with making the going concern assessment and conclusion, management and the Board of Directors of AIG confirmed in connection with the filing in February 2010 of the 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K that "As first stated by the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve in connection with the announcement of the AIG Restructuring Plan on March 2, 2009, the U.S. Government remains committed to continuing to work with AIG to maintain its ability to meet its obligations as they come due."
AIG's consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or relating to the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should AIG be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
Securities purchased (sold) under agreements to resell (repurchase), at contract value: Securities purchased under agreements to resell and Securities sold under agreements to repurchase (other than those entered into by AIGFP) generally are accounted for as collateralized borrowing or lending transactions and are recorded at their contracted resale or repurchase amounts plus accrued interest. AIGFP carries such agreements at fair value based on market observable interest rates and credit spreads. AIG's policy is to take possession of or obtain a security interest in securities purchased under agreements to resell.
When AIG does not obtain cash collateral sufficient to fund substantially all of the cost of purchasing identical replacement securities during the term of the contract (generally less than 90 percent of the security value), AIG accounts for the transaction as a sale of the security and reports the obligation to repurchase the security as a derivative contract. Where securities are carried in the available for sale category, AIG records a gain or loss in income. Where changes in fair value of securities are recognized through income, no additional gain or loss is recognized. The fair value of securities transferred under repurchase agreements accounted for as sales was $2.6 billion and $2.3 billion at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, and the related cash collateral obtained was $1.9 billion and $1.5 billion at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.
AIG minimizes the risk that counterparties to transactions might be unable to fulfill their contractual obligations by monitoring customer credit exposure and collateral value and generally requiring additional collateral to be deposited with AIG when necessary.
Securities lending invested collateral, at fair value and Securities lending payable: In 2008, AIG exited the domestic securities lending program, and during the first quarter of 2010, AIG exited its foreign securities lending activities.
Accounting Changes
AIG adopted the following accounting standards during the first six months of 2010:
Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an accounting standard addressing transfers of financial assets that removes the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity (QSPE) from the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and removes the exception that exempted transferors from applying the consolidation rules to QSPEs.
The new standard was effective for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2010 for AIG. Earlier application was prohibited. The adoption of this standard increased both assets and liabilities by approximately $1.3 billion as a result of consolidating two previously unconsolidated QSPEs. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material effect on AIG's consolidated results of operations or cash flows.
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities
In June 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard that amends the rules addressing consolidation of certain variable interest entities with an approach focused on identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly affect the entity's economic performance and has (1) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or (2) the right to receive benefits from the entity. The new standard also requires enhanced financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
In February 2010, the FASB also issued an update to the aforementioned accounting standard that defers the revised consolidation rules for variable interest entities with attributes of, or similar to, an investment company or money market fund. The primary effect of this deferral for AIG is that AIG will continue to apply the consolidation rules in effect before the amended guidance discussed above for its interests in eligible entities, such as certain mutual funds.
Future Application of Accounting Standards
Accounting for Embedded Credit Derivatives
In March 2010, the FASB issued an accounting standard that amends the accounting for embedded credit derivative features in structured securities that redistribute credit risk in the form of subordination of one financial instrument to another. The new standard clarifies how to determine whether embedded credit derivative features, including those in collateralized debt obligations (CDOs), credit-linked notes (CLNs), synthetic CDOs and CLNs and other synthetic securities (e.g., commercial and residential mortgage-backed securities issued by securitization entities that wrote credit derivatives), are considered to be embedded derivatives that require bifurcation and separate accounting. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on July 1, 2010 for AIG. Upon adoption, AIG will account for its investments in synthetic securities otherwise requiring bifurcation at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. AIG expects that adoption of this standard will result in a reclassification of $306 million of synthetic securities from Bonds available for sale to Bond trading securities and will also result in a reclassification of $64 million from Accumulated other comprehensive income to Accumulated deficit as of July 1, 2010. AIG does not expect the adoption of this new standard to be material to its consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Consolidation of Investments in Separate Accounts
In April 2010, the FASB issued an accounting standard that clarifies that an insurance company should not combine any investments held in separate account interests with its interest in the same investment held in its general account when assessing the investment for consolidation. Separate accounts represent funds for which investment income and investment gains and losses accrue directly to the policyholders who bear the investment risk. The standard also provides guidance on how an insurer should consolidate an investment fund in situations in which the insurer concludes that consolidation of an investment is required and the insurer's interest is through its general account in addition to any separate accounts. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2011 for AIG. Earlier application is permitted. AIG does not expect the adoption of this new standard to be material to its consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
AIG reports the results of its operations through four reportable segments: General Insurance, Domestic Life Insurance & Retirement Services, Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services, and Financial Services. AIG evaluates performance based on pre-tax income (loss), excluding results from discontinued operations and net gains (losses) on sales of divested businesses, because AIG believes this provides more meaningful information on how its operations are performing.
AIA is no longer being presented as held for sale or as a discontinued operation in the Consolidated Financial Statements. AIA was presented as a discontinued operation in AIG's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. Accordingly, AIA's results of operations are included in the Asia operating segment within the Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services reportable segment and comprise the majority of that operating segment.

3. Discontinued Operations and Held-for-Sale Classification
As discussed in Note 1 herein, during the first quarter of 2010, AIG entered into an agreement to sell ALICO for approximately $15.5 billion. Also, in the fourth quarter of 2009, AIG entered into an agreement to sell its 97.57 percent share of Nan Shan for approximately $2.15 billion. In the second quarter of 2010, AIG entered into a $325 million escrow agreement with the Nan Shan purchasers, whereby on the closing of the sale of Nan Shan, the purchasers will deposit $325 million of the $2.15 billion purchase price into an escrow account for possible use by Nan Shan if its risk-based capital ratio falls below 200 percent during the four-year period after the closing of the sale. Any amount left in escrow at the end of the four-year period will be released to AIG. Accordingly, AIG is accounting for the escrow agreement as contingent sales consideration, which will be recorded in income upon the release of such amount to AIG, if any. This agreement contributed to an additional loss accrual related to the sale of Nan Shan of $294 million in the second quarter of 2010, which is reflected in Loss on Sale in the table below. On June 21, 2010, AIG and the buyers agreed to extend the agreement to sell deadline to purchase Nan Shan to October 12, 2010 to allow more time for regulatory approval.
AIG expects the ALICO and Nan Shan sales to close during the fourth quarter of 2010 and, accordingly, the results of operations for these companies are presented as discontinued operations in AIG's Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss) for all periods presented and the aggregated assets and liabilities are presented separately as single line items in the asset and liability sections of the Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2010 for ALICO and Nan Shan and at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 for Nan Shan. Each of these companies previously had been a component of the Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services reportable segment.
In the first quarter of 2010, AIG entered into an agreement to sell AIA and, at March 31, 2010 and for the three months then ended, AIG presented AIA as held for sale and as a discontinued operation. As a result of AIG's agreement with the buyer to terminate the agreement, AIG has concluded that it is no longer probable that it will close a sale of AIA within 12 months. Accordingly, AIA is no longer being presented as held for sale or as a discontinued operation in the Consolidated Financial Statements. See Notes 1 and 2 herein for further discussion.

In the 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K, Nan Shan was presented as a discontinued operation. In accordance with the terms of the FRBNY Credit Facility, net proceeds from dispositions, after taking into account taxes and transaction expenses, to the extent such proceeds do not represent capital of AIG's insurance subsidiaries required for regulatory or ratings purposes, are contractually required to be applied toward the repayment of the FRBNY Credit Facility as mandatory prepayments unless otherwise agreed with the FRBNY. As a result of restructuring activities with respect to Nan Shan's immediate parent in the second quarter of 2010, the net proceeds from the expected sale of Nan Shan will no longer be required for rating or regulatory purposes with respect to AIG's insurance company subsidiaries. Therefore, it is now anticipated that a mandatory prepayment from net proceeds will be required upon closing. The mandatory prepayment will reduce the amount available to be borrowed under the FRBNY Credit Facility by approximately the same amount as the prepayment. In conjunction with this anticipated prepayment, an allocation to interest expense of $82 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, including periodic amortization of the prepaid commitment fee asset, was included in Income (loss) from discontinued operations. The interest expense allocation to discontinued operations shown in the table below was based on the estimated funds of $1.825 billion committed to repay the FRBNY Credit Facility multiplied by the daily interest rate for each respective period. The periodic amortization of the prepaid commitment fee asset allocated to discontinued operations was determined based on the ratio of funds committed to repay the FRBNY Credit Facility to the total outstanding available amount under the FRBNY Credit Facility.

Certain other sales completed during 2010 and 2009 were not classified as discontinued operations because AIG continued to generate significant direct revenue-producing or cost-generating cash flows from the businesses sold or because associated assets, liabilities and results of operations were not material to AIG's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In the third quarter of 2009, AIG entered into an agreement to sell its investment advisory and third party asset management business for a $277 million cash payment at closing plus contingent consideration to be received over time. Prior to the closing of this transaction in the first quarter of 2010, this business was a component of the Noncore Asset Management business included within Other operations. This transaction met the criteria for held-

for-sale accounting, and its assets and liabilities were included as single line items in the asset and liability sections of the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2009. As discussed above, this transaction did not meet the criteria for discontinued operations accounting because of a significant continuation of activities between AIG and the business sold.
In the third quarter of 2009, AIG entered into an agreement to combine its consumer finance business in Poland, conducted through AIG Bank Polska S.A., into the Polish consumer finance business of Santander Consumer Finance S.A. (SCB). The transaction closed on June 8, 2010. In exchange, AIG received an equity interest in SCB. Prior to the closing of the transaction, AIG Bank Polska S.A. was a component of the Financial Services reporting segment. This transaction met the criteria for held-for-sale accounting and, as a result, its assets and liabilities are included as single line items in the asset and liability sections of the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2009. As discussed above, this transaction did not meet the criteria for discontinued operations accounting because of the equity interest in SCB that AIG received in this transaction.

On March 31, 2010, AIG, through a Chartis International subsidiary, purchased additional voting shares in Fuji Fire & Marine Insurance Company Limited (Fuji), a publicly traded Japanese insurance company with property/casualty insurance and some life insurance operations. The acquisition of the additional voting shares for $145 million increased Chartis' total voting ownership interest in Fuji from 41.7 percent to 54.8 percent, which resulted in Chartis International obtaining control of Fuji. This acquisition was made to increase Chartis International's share in the substantial Japanese insurance market, which is undergoing significant consolidation, and to achieve cost savings from synergies.
The purchase was accounted for under the acquisition method. Because the acquisition was completed on March 31, 2010, the initial accounting for the acquisition was incomplete when AIG issued its unaudited
23
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The initial purchase price allocation was based on financial information that was available at the time to identify and estimate certain of the fair values of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests of Fuji as of the acquisition date. During the quarter ended June 30, 2010, Chartis obtained additional information and revised the purchase price allocation, which included obtaining final appraisals of Fuji's insurance contracts, loans, certain real estate and intangible assets, and retrospectively adjusted the provisional amounts initially recorded.
The following table summarizes the estimated provisional fair values of major classes of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed before revision as of March 31, 2010 and the revised amounts:

Adjustments to the revised purchase price allocation as of March 31, 2010 may occur if new information becomes known about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognized as of that date.
In accordance with the acquisition method of accounting, Chartis remeasured its equity interest in Fuji held prior to the acquisition of the additional shares to fair value, which resulted in a $25 million loss. The loss was recorded in Other realized capital gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss). The fair values of AIG's previously-held equity interest and the noncontrolling interest were based on Fuji's publicly-traded share price on the Tokyo Stock Exchange as of the acquisition date.
An insignificant amount of acquisition-related costs, consisting primarily of legal and transaction fees, was recorded in Other expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss).
The acquisition resulted in a bargain purchase gain of approximately $406 million, which is included in Other income in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss). AIG will retrospectively revise its results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 when presenting comparative financial information containing that period. Consequently, the bargain purchase gain is included in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2010, but is excluded from the three months ended June 30, 2010.
24
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
The bargain purchase gain is primarily attributable to the depressed market value of Fuji's common stock, which AIG believes is the result of macro-economic, capital market and regulatory factors in Japan coupled with Fuji's financial condition and results of operations. AIG anticipates that the bargain purchase gain will not be subject to U.S. or foreign income tax because the gain would only be recognized for tax purposes upon the sale of the Fuji shares.
The following table summarizes selected amounts from the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2010 (recast to present AIA as a continuing operation) revised to present the bargain purchase gain in that period:

Fuji's financial information is reported to Chartis on a quarter lag. Because the acquisition occurred on March 31, 2010, no revenue or earnings of Fuji are included in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss) for the three months ended June 30, 2010.
The following unaudited summarized pro forma consolidated income statement information assumes that the acquisition of Fuji occurred as of January 1, 2009. The pro forma amounts are for comparative purposes only and may not necessarily reflect the results of operations that would have resulted had the acquisition been completed at the beginning of the applicable period and may not be indicative of the results that will be attained in the future.

Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis
AIG measures the following financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis:
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing, able and knowledgeable market participants at the measurement date.
The degree of judgment used in measuring the fair value of financial instruments generally correlates with the level of pricing observability. Financial instruments with quoted prices in active markets generally have more pricing observability and less judgment is used in measuring fair value. Conversely, financial instruments traded in other-than-active markets or those that do not have quoted prices have less observability and are measured at fair value using valuation models or other pricing techniques that require more judgment. An active market is one in which transactions for the asset or liability being valued occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. An other-than-active market is one in which there are few transactions, the prices are not current, price quotations vary substantially either over time or among market makers, or in which little information is released publicly for the asset or liability being valued. Pricing observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of financial instrument, whether the financial instrument is new to the market and not yet established, the characteristics specific to the transaction and general market conditions.
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheet are measured and classified in a hierarchy for disclosure purposes consisting of three "levels" based on the observability of inputs available in the marketplace used to measure the fair values as discussed below:

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments carried at fair value. These methodologies are applied to assets and liabilities across the levels noted above, and it is the observability of the inputs used that determines the appropriate level in the fair value hierarchy for the respective asset or liability.
Incorporation of Credit Risk in Fair Value Measurements
Fair value measurements for embedded policy derivatives and policyholder contract deposits take into consideration that policyholder liabilities are senior in priority to general creditors of AIG and therefore are much less sensitive to changes in AIG credit default swap or cash issuance spreads.

A CDS is a derivative contract that allows the transfer of third party credit risk from one party to the other. The buyer of the CDS pays an upfront and/or annual premium to the seller. The seller's payment obligation is triggered by the occurrence of a credit event under a specified reference security and is determined by the loss on that specified reference security. The present value of the amount of the annual and/or upfront premium therefore represents a market-based expectation of the likelihood that the specified reference party will fail to perform on the reference obligation, a key market observable indicator of non-performance risk (the CDS spread).
Fair values for fixed maturity securities based on observable market prices for identical or similar instruments implicitly incorporate counterparty credit risk. Fair values for fixed maturity securities based on internal models incorporate counterparty credit risk by using discount rates that take into consideration cash issuance spreads for similar instruments or other observable information.
The cost of credit protection is determined under a discounted present value approach considering the market levels for single name CDS spreads for each specific counterparty, the mid market value of the net exposure (reflecting the amount of protection required) and the weighted average life of the net exposure. CDS spreads are provided to AIG by an independent third party. AIG utilizes an interest rate based on the benchmark London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) curve to derive its discount rates.
While this approach does not explicitly consider all potential future behavior of the derivative transactions or potential future changes in valuation inputs, AIG believes this approach provides a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the assets and liabilities, including consideration of the impact of non-performance risk.
Fixed Maturity Securities Trading and Available for Sale
AIG maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Whenever available, AIG obtains quoted prices in active markets for identical assets at the balance sheet date to measure fixed maturity securities at fair value in its trading and available for sale portfolios. Market price data is generally obtained from dealer markets.
Management is responsible for the determination of the value of the investments carried at fair value and the supporting methodologies and assumptions. AIG employs independent third-party valuation service providers to gather, analyze, and interpret market information and derive fair values based upon relevant methodologies and assumptions for individual instruments. When AIG's valuation service providers are unable to obtain sufficient market observable information upon which to estimate the fair value for a particular security, fair value is determined either by requesting brokers who are knowledgeable about these securities to provide a quote, which is generally non-binding, or by employing widely accepted internal valuation models.
Valuation service providers typically obtain data about market transactions and other key valuation model inputs from multiple sources and, through the use of widely accepted internal valuation models, provide a single fair value measurement for individual securities for which a fair value has been requested under the terms of service agreements. The inputs used by the valuation service providers include, but are not limited to, market prices from recently completed transactions and transactions of comparable securities, benchmark yields, interest rate yield curves, credit spreads, currency rates, and other market-observable information, as applicable. The valuation models take into account, among other things, market observable information as of the measurement date as well as the specific attributes of the security being valued, including its term, interest rate, credit rating, industry sector, and when applicable, collateral quality and other security or issuer-specific information. When market transactions or other market observable data is limited, the extent to which judgment is applied in determining fair value is greatly increased.
AIG has processes designed to ensure that the values received or internally estimated are accurately recorded and that the data inputs and the valuation techniques utilized are appropriate, consistently applied, and that the assumptions are reasonable and consistent with the objective of determining fair value. AIG assesses the reasonableness of individual security values received from valuation service providers through various analytical techniques. In addition, AIG may validate the reasonableness of fair values by comparing information obtained

American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
from AIG's valuation service providers to other third-party valuation sources for selected securities. AIG also validates prices for selected securities obtained from brokers through reviews by members of management who have relevant expertise and who are independent of those charged with executing investing transactions.
The methodology above is relevant for all fixed maturity securities; following are discussions of certain procedures unique to specific classes of securities.
Fixed Maturity Securities issued by Government Entities
For most debt securities issued by government entities, AIG obtains fair value information from independent third-party valuation service providers, as quoted prices are generally only available for limited debt securities issued by government entities. The fair values received from these valuation service providers may be based on a market approach using matrix pricing, which considers a security's relationship to other securities for which a quoted price in an active market may be available, or alternatively based on an income approach, which uses valuation techniques to convert future cash flows to a single present value amount.
Fixed Maturity Securities issued by Corporate Entities
For most debt securities issued by corporate entities, AIG obtains fair value information from third-party valuation service providers. For certain corporate debt instruments (for example, private placements) that are not traded in active markets or that are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, and such adjustments generally are based on available market evidence. In the absence of such evidence, management's best estimate is used.
RMBS, CMBS, CDOs and other ABS
Third-party valuation service providers also provide fair value information for the majority of AIG investments in RMBS, CMBS, CDOs and other ABS. Where pricing is not available from valuation service providers, AIG obtains fair value information from brokers. Broker prices may be based on an income approach, which converts expected future cash flows to a single present value amount, with specific consideration of inputs relevant to structured securities, including ratings, collateral types, geographic concentrations, underlying loan vintages, loan delinquencies, and weighted average coupons and maturities. Broker prices may also be based on a market approach that considers recent transactions involving identical or similar securities. When the volume or level of market activity for an investment in RMBS, CMBS, CDOs or other ABS is limited, certain inputs used to determine fair value may not be observable in the market.
Maiden Lane II and Maiden Lane III
At their inception, ML II and ML III were valued and recorded at the transaction prices of $1 billion and $5 billion, respectively. Subsequently, the Maiden Lane Interests are valued using a discounted cash flow methodology that uses the estimated future cash flows of the Maiden Lane assets. AIG applies model-determined market discount rates to its interests. These discount rates are calibrated to the changes in the estimated asset values for the underlying assets commensurate with AIG's interests in the capital structure of the respective entities. Estimated cash flows and discount rates used in the valuations are validated, to the extent possible, using market observable information for securities with similar asset pools, structure and terms.
The fair value methodology used assumes that the underlying collateral in the Maiden Lane Interests will continue to be held and generate cash flows into the foreseeable future and does not assume a current liquidation of the assets underlying the Maiden Lane Interests. Other methodologies employed or assumptions made in determining fair value for these investments could result in amounts that differ significantly from the amounts reported.
Adjustments to the fair value of AIG's interest in ML II are recorded on the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss) in Net investment income for AIG's Domestic Life Insurance companies. Adjustments to the fair value of

AIG's interest in ML III are recorded on the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss) in Net investment income and, beginning in the second quarter of 2009, were included in Other Noncore business results, reflecting the contribution to an AIG subsidiary. Prior to the second quarter of 2009, such amounts had been included in Other Parent company results. AIG's Maiden Lane Interests are included in Bond trading securities, at fair value, on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
As of June 30, 2010, AIG expected to receive cash flows (undiscounted) in excess of AIG's initial investment, and any accrued interest, in the Maiden Lane Interests over the remaining life of the investments after repayment of the first priority obligations owed to the FRBNY. AIG's cash flow methodology considers the capital structure of the collateral securities and their expected credit losses from the underlying asset pools. The fair values of the Maiden Lane Interests are most affected by changes in the discount rates and changes in the underlying estimated future collateral cash flow assumptions used in the valuation model.
The LIBOR interest rate curve changes are determined based on observable prices, interpolated or extrapolated to derive a LIBOR for a specific maturity term as necessary. The spreads over LIBOR for the Maiden Lane Interests (including collateral-specific credit and liquidity spreads) can change as a result of changes in market expectations about the future performance of these investments as well as changes in the risk premium that market participants would demand at the time of the transactions.
Changes in estimated future cash flows would primarily be the result of changes in expectations for defaults, recoveries, and prepayments on underlying loans.
Changes in the discount rate or the estimated future cash flows used in the valuation would alter AIG's estimate of the fair value of the Maiden Lane Interests as shown in the table below.

AIG believes that the ranges of discount rates used in these analyses are reasonable based on implied spread volatilities of similar collateral securities and implied volatilities of LIBOR interest rates. The ranges of estimated future cash flows were determined based on variability in estimated future cash flows implied by cumulative loss estimates for similar instruments. Because of these factors, the fair values of the Maiden Lane Interests are likely to vary, perhaps materially, from the amount estimated.
Equity Securities Traded in Active Markets Trading and Available for Sale
AIG maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Whenever available, AIG obtains quoted prices in active markets for identical assets at the balance sheet date to measure at fair value marketable equity securities in its trading and available for sale portfolios. Market price data is generally obtained from exchange or dealer markets.

Direct Private Equity Investments Other Invested Assets
AIG initially estimates the fair value of equity instruments not traded in active markets, which includes direct private equity investments, by reference to the transaction price. This valuation is adjusted for changes in inputs and assumptions which are corroborated by evidence such as transactions in similar instruments, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable entities, subsequent rounds of financing, recapitalizations and other transactions across the capital structure, offerings in the equity capital markets, and/or changes in financial ratios or cash flows. For equity securities that are not traded in active markets or that are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability and such adjustments generally are based on available market evidence. In the absence of such evidence, management's best estimate is used.
Hedge Funds, Private Equity Funds and Other Investment Partnerships Other Invested Assets
AIG initially estimates the fair value of investments in certain hedge funds, private equity funds and other investment partnerships by reference to the transaction price. Subsequently, AIG generally obtains the fair value of these investments from net asset value information provided by the general partner or manager of the investments, the financial statements of which are generally audited annually. AIG considers observable market data and performs diligence procedures in validating the appropriateness of using the net asset value as a fair value measurement.
Separate Account Assets
Separate account assets are composed primarily of registered and unregistered open-end mutual funds that generally trade daily and are measured at fair value in the manner discussed above for equity securities traded in active markets.
Other Assets Measured at Fair Value
Securities Purchased (Sold) under Agreements to Resell (Repurchase) AIG estimates the fair value of receivables (payables) arising from securities purchased (sold) under agreements to resell (repurchase) using dealer quotations, discounted cash flow analyses and/or internal valuation models. This methodology considers such factors as the coupon rate, yield curves, prepayment rates and other relevant factors.
Short-term Investments For short-term investments that are measured at fair value, AIG obtains fair value information from independent third-party valuation service providers. The determination of fair value for these instruments is consistent with the process for fixed maturity securities, as discussed above.
Loans Receivable AIG estimates the fair value of mortgage and other loans receivable by using dealer quotations, discounted cash flow analyses and/or internal valuation models. The determination of fair value considers inputs such as interest rate, maturity, the borrower's creditworthiness, collateral, subordination, guarantees, past-due status, yield curves, credit curves, prepayment rates, market pricing for comparable loans and other relevant factors.
Freestanding Derivatives
Derivative assets and liabilities can be exchange-traded or traded over-the-counter (OTC). AIG generally values exchange-traded derivatives using quoted prices in active markets for identical derivatives at the balance sheet date.
OTC derivatives are valued using market transactions and other market evidence whenever possible, including market-based inputs to models, model calibration to market clearing transactions, broker or dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. When models are used, the selection of a particular model to value an OTC derivative depends on the contractual terms of, and specific risks inherent in the instrument, as well as the availability of pricing information in the market. AIG generally uses similar models
31
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
to value similar instruments. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices and rates, yield curves, credit curves, measures of volatility, prepayment rates and correlations of such inputs. For OTC derivatives that trade in liquid markets, such as generic forwards, swaps and options, model inputs can generally be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means, and model selection does not involve significant management judgment.
Certain OTC derivatives trade in less liquid markets with limited pricing information, and the determination of fair value for these derivatives is inherently more difficult. When AIG does not have corroborating market evidence to support significant model inputs and cannot verify the model to market transactions, the transaction price is initially used as the best estimate of fair value. Accordingly, when a pricing model is used to value such an instrument, the model is adjusted so the model value at inception equals the transaction price. Subsequent to initial recognition, AIG updates valuation inputs when corroborated by evidence such as similar market transactions, third party pricing services and/or broker or dealer quotations, or other empirical market data. When appropriate, valuations are adjusted for various factors such as liquidity, bid/offer spreads and credit considerations. Such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence. In the absence of such evidence, management's best estimate is used.
Embedded Policy Derivatives
The fair value of embedded policy derivatives contained in certain variable annuity and equity-indexed annuity and life contracts is measured based on actuarial and capital market assumptions related to projected cash flows over the expected lives of the contracts. These cash flow estimates primarily include benefits and related fees assessed, when applicable, and incorporate expectations about policyholder behavior. Estimates of future policyholder behavior are subjective and based primarily on AIG's historical experience. With respect to embedded policy derivatives in AIG's variable annuity contracts, because of the dynamic and complex nature of the expected cash flows, risk neutral valuations are used. Estimating the underlying cash flows for these products involves many estimates and judgments, including those regarding expected market rates of return, market volatility, correlations of market index returns to funds, fund performance, discount rates and policyholder behavior. With respect to embedded policy derivatives in AIG's equity-indexed annuity and life contracts, option pricing models are used to estimate fair value, taking into account assumptions for future equity index growth rates, volatility of the equity index, future interest rates, and determinations on adjusting the participation rate and the cap on equity indexed credited rates in light of market conditions and policyholder behavior assumptions. These methodologies incorporate an explicit risk margin to take into consideration market participant estimates of projected cash flows and policyholder behavior.
AIGFP's Super Senior Credit Default Swap Portfolio
AIGFP values its CDS transactions written on the super senior risk layers of designated pools of debt securities or loans using internal valuation models, third-party price estimates and market indices. The principal market was determined to be the market in which super senior credit default swaps of this type and size would be transacted, or have been transacted, with the greatest volume or level of activity. AIG has determined that the principal market participants, therefore, would consist of other large financial institutions who participate in sophisticated over-the-counter derivatives markets. The specific valuation methodologies vary based on the nature of the referenced obligations and availability of market prices.
The valuation of the super senior credit derivatives is challenging given the limitation on the availability of market observable information due to the lack of trading and price transparency in the structured finance market. These market conditions have increased the reliance on management estimates and judgments in arriving at an estimate of fair value for financial reporting purposes. Further, disparities in the valuation methodologies employed by market participants and the varying judgments reached by such participants when assessing volatile markets have increased the likelihood that the various parties to these instruments may arrive at significantly different estimates as to their fair values.
32
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
AIGFP's valuation methodologies for the super senior credit default swap portfolio have evolved over time in response to market conditions and the availability of market observable information. AIG has sought to calibrate the methodologies to available market information and to review the assumptions of the methodologies on a regular basis.
Regulatory capital portfolio: In the case of credit default swaps written to facilitate regulatory capital relief, AIGFP estimates the fair value of these derivatives by considering observable market transactions. The transactions with the most observability are the early terminations of these transactions by counterparties. AIGFP continues to reassess the expected maturity of the portfolio. AIGFP has not been required to make any payments as part of terminations initiated by counterparties. The regulatory benefit of these transactions for AIGFP's financial institution counterparties is generally derived from the terms of the Capital Accord of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (Basel I) that existed through the end of 2007 and which is in the process of being replaced by the Revised Framework for the International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (Basel II). It was expected that financial institution counterparties would have transitioned from Basel I to Basel II by the end of the two-year adoption period on December 31, 2009, after which they would have received little or no additional regulatory benefit from these CDS transactions, except in a small number of specific instances. However, the Basel Committee announced that it had agreed to keep in place the Basel I capital floors beyond the end of 2009, although it remains to be seen how this extension will be implemented by the various European Central Banking districts. Should certain counterparties continue to receive favorable regulatory capital benefits from these transactions, those counterparties may not exercise their options to terminate the transactions in the expected time frame. In assessing the fair value of the regulatory capital CDS transactions, AIGFP also considers other market data, to the extent relevant and available. For further discussion, see Note 8 herein.
Multi-sector CDO portfolios: AIGFP uses a modified version of the Binomial Expansion Technique (BET) model to value its credit default swap portfolio written on super senior tranches of multi-sector collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) of ABS, including maturity-shortening puts that allow the holders of the securities issued by certain CDOs to treat the securities as short-term 2a-7 eligible investments under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (2a-7 Puts). The BET model was developed in 1996 by a major rating agency to generate expected loss estimates for CDO tranches and derive a credit rating for those tranches, and remains widely used.
AIGFP has adapted the BET model to estimate the price of the super senior risk layer or tranche of the CDO. AIG modified the BET model to imply default probabilities from market prices for the underlying securities and not from rating agency assumptions. To generate the estimate, the model uses the price estimates for the securities comprising the portfolio of a CDO as an input and converts those estimates to credit spreads over current LIBOR-based interest rates. These credit spreads are used to determine implied probabilities of default and expected losses on the underlying securities. This data is then aggregated and used to estimate the expected cash flows of the super senior tranche of the CDO.
Prices for the individual securities held by a CDO are obtained in most cases from the CDO collateral managers, to the extent available. CDO collateral managers provided market prices for 63.2 percent of the underlying securities used in the valuation at June 30, 2010. When a price for an individual security is not provided by a CDO collateral manager, AIGFP derives the price through a pricing matrix using prices from CDO collateral managers for similar securities. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique used principally to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the relationship of the security to other benchmark quoted securities. Substantially all of the CDO collateral managers who provided prices used dealer prices for all or part of the underlying securities, in some cases supplemented by third-party pricing services.
The BET model also uses diversity scores, weighted average lives, recovery rates and discount rates. AIGFP employs a Monte Carlo simulation to assist in quantifying the effect on the valuation of the CDO of the unique aspects of the CDO's structure such as triggers that divert cash flows to the most senior part of the capital
33
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
structure. The Monte Carlo simulation is used to determine whether an underlying security defaults in a given simulation scenario and, if it does, the security's implied random default time and expected loss. This information is used to project cash flow streams and to determine the expected losses of the portfolio.
In addition to calculating an estimate of the fair value of the super senior CDO security referenced in the credit default swaps using its internal model, AIGFP also considers the price estimates for the super senior CDO securities provided by third parties, including counterparties to these transactions, to validate the results of the model and to determine the best available estimate of fair value. In determining the fair value of the super senior CDO security referenced in the credit default swaps, AIGFP uses a consistent process which considers all available pricing data points and eliminates the use of outlying data points. When pricing data points are within a reasonable range an averaging technique is applied.
Corporate debt/Collateralized loan obligation (CLO) portfolios: In the case of credit default swaps written on portfolios of investment-grade corporate debt, AIGFP uses a mathematical model that produces results that are closely aligned with prices received from third parties. This methodology is widely used by other market participants and uses the current market credit spreads of the names in the portfolios along with the base correlations implied by the current market prices of comparable tranches of the relevant market traded credit indices as inputs. One transaction, representing one percent of the total notional amount of the corporate arbitrage transactions, is valued using third party quotes given its unique attributes.
AIGFP estimates the fair value of its obligations resulting from credit default swaps written on CLOs to be equivalent to the par value less the current market value of the referenced obligation. Accordingly, the value is determined by obtaining third-party quotes on the underlying super senior tranches referenced under the credit default swap contract.
Policyholder Contract Deposits
Policyholder contract deposits accounted for at fair value are measured using an earnings approach by taking into consideration the following factors:
The change in fair value of these policyholder contract deposits is recorded as Policyholder benefits and claims incurred in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss).
Securities and Spot Commodities Sold But Not Yet Purchased
Fair values for securities sold but not yet purchased are based on current market prices. Fair values of spot commodities sold but not yet purchased are based on current market prices of reference spot futures contracts traded on exchanges.
Other Long-Term Debt
When fair value accounting has been elected, the fair value of non-structured liabilities is generally determined by using market prices from exchange or dealer markets, when available, or discounting expected cash flows using the appropriate discount rate for the applicable maturity. Such instruments are generally classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as substantially all inputs are readily observable. AIG determines the fair value of structured liabilities and hybrid financial instruments (where performance is linked to structured interest rates, inflation or currency risks) using the appropriate derivative valuation methodology (described above) given the nature of the embedded risk profile. Such instruments are classified in Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the observability of significant inputs to the model. In addition, adjustments are made to the valuations of both non-structured and structured liabilities to reflect AIG's own credit worthiness based on observable credit spreads of AIG.

Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair values of positions classified in Level 3 in the tables above. As a result, the unrealized gains (losses) on instruments held at June 30, 2010 and 2009 may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable inputs (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable inputs (e.g., changes in unobservable long-dated volatilities).

Transfers of Level 3 Assets and Liabilities
AIG's policy is to transfer assets and liabilities into Level 3 when a significant input cannot be corroborated with market observable data. This may include: circumstances in which market activity has dramatically decreased and transparency to underlying inputs cannot be observed, current prices are not available, and substantial price variances in quotations among market participants exist.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure the fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. AIG's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment. In making the assessment, AIG considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010, AIG transferred into Level 3 approximately $2.1 billion and $3.3 billion, respectively, of assets consisting of certain ABS, CMBS and RMBS, as well as private placement corporate debt, certain municipal bonds related to affordable housing partnerships and investment partnerships. The transfers into Level 3 related to investments in ABS, RMBS and CMBS were due to a decrease in market transparency and downward credit migration in these securities. Transfers into Level 3 for private placement corporate debt were primarily the result of AIG overriding third party matrix pricing information downward to better reflect the additional risk premium associated with those securities that AIG believes was not captured in the matrix. Certain municipal bonds were transferred into Level 3 based on limited market activity for the particular issuances and related limitations on observable inputs for their valuation. Investment partnerships transferred into Level 3 were primarily comprised of certain hedge funds with limited market activity due to fund-imposed redemption restrictions.
Assets are transferred out of Level 3 when circumstances change such that significant inputs can be corroborated with market observable data. This may be due to a significant increase in market activity for the asset, a specific event, one or more significant input(s) becoming observable, or when a long-term interest rate significant to a valuation becomes short-term and thus observable. During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010, AIG transferred approximately $2.0 billion and $3.0 billion, respectively, of assets out of Level 3. These transfers out of Level 3 are primarily related to investments in private placement corporate debt, as well as investments in certain ABS and RMBS and certain investment partnerships. Transfers out of Level 3 for private placement corporate debt and for ABS were primarily the result of AIG using observable pricing information or a third party pricing quote that appropriately reflects the fair value of those securities, without the need for adjustment based on AIG's own assumptions regarding the characteristics of a specific security or the current liquidity in the market. Transfers out of Level 3 for RMBS investments were primarily due to increased usage of pricing from valuation service providers that were reflective of market activity, where previously an internally adjusted price had been used. Certain investment partnerships were transferred out of Level 3 primarily due to the availability of information related to the underlying assets of these funds.
During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010, AIG transferred into Level 3 approximately $33 million and $807 million of liabilities, respectively, primarily related to term notes and hybrid term notes, as well as certain derivatives. Term notes and hybrid term notes were transferred into Level 3 primarily due to an unobservable credit linked component comprising a significant amount of the valuations. As AIG provides net presentation of carrying values for its derivative positions in the table above, transfers out of Level 3 liabilities, which totaled $1.0 billion and $1.1 billion for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010, respectively, primarily relate to certain derivative assets transferred into Level 3 due to the lack of observable inputs on certain interest rate swaps. Other transfers out of Level 3 liabilities were due to movement in market variables.
AIG uses various hedging techniques to manage risks associated with certain positions, including those classified within Level 3. Such techniques may include the purchase or sale of financial instruments that are classified within Level 1 and/or Level 2. As a result, the realized and unrealized gains (losses) for assets and liabilities classified within Level 3 presented in the table above do not reflect the related realized or unrealized gains (losses) on hedging instruments that are classified within Level 1 and/or Level 2.

Investments in Certain Entities Carried at Fair Value Using Net Asset Value per Share
The following table includes information related to AIG's investments in certain other invested assets, including private equity funds, hedge funds and other alternative investments that calculate net asset value per share (or its equivalent). For these investments, which are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis, AIG uses the net asset value per share as a practical expedient for fair value.

At June 30, 2010, private equity fund investments included above are not redeemable during the lives of the funds, and have expected remaining lives that extend in some cases more than 10 years. At that date, 40 percent of the total above had expected remaining lives of less than three years, 40 percent between 3 and 7 years, and 20 percent between 7 and 10 years. Expected lives are based upon legal maturity, which can be extended at the general manager's discretion, typically in one-year increments.
At June 30, 2010, hedge fund investments included above are redeemable monthly (16 percent), quarterly (48 percent), semi-annually (6 percent) and annually (30 percent), with redemption notices ranging from 1 day to 180 days. More than 82 percent require redemption notices of less than 90 days. Investments representing approximately 26 percent of the value of the hedge fund investments cannot be redeemed because the investments include restrictions. The majority of these restrictions were put in place in 2008, and do not have stated end dates. The remaining restrictions, which have pre-defined end dates, are generally expected to be lifted by the end of 2012. Funds that equate to 45 percent of the total value of hedge funds hold at least one investment that the general manager deems to be illiquid. In order to treat investors fairly and to accommodate subsequent subscription and redemption requests, the general manager isolates these illiquid assets from the rest of the fund until the assets become liquid.
At June 30, 2010, global real estate fund investments included above are not redeemable during the lives of the funds, and have expected remaining lives that extend in some cases more than 10 years. At that date, 60 percent of these funds had expected remaining lives of less than three years, 11 percent between 3 and 7 years, and 29 percent between 7 and 10 years. Expected lives are based upon legal maturity, which can be extended at the general manager's discretion, typically in one-year increments.
Fair Value Measurements on a Non-Recurring Basis
AIG also measures the fair value of certain assets on a non-recurring basis, generally quarterly, annually, or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. These assets include cost and equity-method investments, life settlement contracts, flight equipment primarily under operating leases, collateral securing foreclosed loans and real estate and other fixed assets, goodwill, and other intangible assets. AIG uses a variety of techniques to measure the fair value of these assets when appropriate, as described below:

The fair value disclosed in the table above is unadjusted for transaction costs. The amounts recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet are net of transaction costs.
AIG may choose to measure at fair value many financial instruments and certain other assets and liabilities that are not required to be measured at fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value for designated items are required to be reported in earnings. Unrealized gains and losses on financial instruments in AIG's insurance businesses and in AIGFP for which the fair value option was elected are classified in Other income in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss).

of AIG's 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information about AIG's policies for recognition, measurement, and disclosure of interest and dividend income and interest expense.
During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010, AIG recognized a gain of $152 million and a loss of $226 million, respectively, and during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009, AIG recognized a loss of $576 million and a gain of $624 million, respectively, attributable to the observable effect of changes in credit spreads on AIG's own liabilities for which the fair value option was elected. AIG calculates the effect of these credit spread changes using discounted cash flow techniques that incorporate current market interest rates, AIG's observable credit spreads on these liabilities and other factors that mitigate the risk of nonperformance such as collateral posted.
The following table presents the difference between fair values and the aggregate contractual principal amounts of mortgage and other loans receivable and long-term borrowings, for which the fair value option was elected:

At June 30, 2010, AIG held 7,205 and 1,059 of individual fixed maturity and equity securities, respectively, that were in an unrealized loss position, of which 4,453 individual securities were in a continuous unrealized loss position for longer than twelve months.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
AIG did not recognize in earnings the unrealized losses on these fixed maturity securities at June 30, 2010, because management neither intends to sell the securities nor does it believe that it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis. Furthermore, management expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities. In performing this evaluation, management considered the recovery periods for securities in previous periods of broad market declines. For fixed maturity securities with significant declines, management performed fundamental credit analysis on a security-by-security basis, which included consideration of credit enhancements, expected defaults on underlying collateral, review of relevant industry analyst reports and forecasts and other available market data.

For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010, the aggregate fair value of available for sale securities sold at a loss was $1.7 billion and $2.6 billion, respectively, which resulted in net realized capital losses of $76 million and $155 million, respectively. The average period of time that securities sold at a loss during the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 were trading continuously at a price below cost or amortized cost was approximately five months.
Evaluating Investments for Other-Than-Temporary Impairments
On April 1, 2009, AIG adopted a new accounting standard on a prospective basis addressing the evaluation of fixed maturity securities for other-than-temporary impairments. These requirements significantly altered AIG's policies and procedures for determining impairment charges recognized through earnings. The standard requires a
50
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
company to recognize the credit component (a credit impairment) of an other-than-temporary impairment of a fixed maturity security in earnings and the non-credit component in Accumulated other comprehensive income when the company does not intend to sell the security or it is more likely than not that the company will not be required to sell the security prior to recovery. The standard also changes the threshold for determining when an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred on a fixed maturity security with respect to intent and ability to hold the security until recovery and requires additional disclosures. A credit impairment, which is recognized in earnings when it occurs, is the difference between the amortized cost of the fixed maturity security and the estimated present value of cash flows expected to be collected (recovery value), as determined by management. The difference between fair value and amortized cost that is not related to a credit impairment is recognized as a separate component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). AIG refers to both credit impairments and impairments recognized as a result of intent to sell as "impairment charges." The impairment model for equity securities was not affected by the standard.
Impairment Policy Effective April 1, 2009 and Thereafter
Fixed Maturity Securities
If AIG intends to sell a fixed maturity security or it is more likely than not that AIG will be required to sell a fixed maturity security before recovery of its amortized cost basis and the fair value of the security is below amortized cost, an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred and the amortized cost is written down to current fair value, with a corresponding charge to earnings.
For all other fixed maturity securities for which a credit impairment has occurred, the amortized cost is written down to the estimated recovery value with a corresponding charge to earnings. Changes in fair value compared to recovery value, if any, are charged to unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of fixed maturity investments on which other-than-temporary credit impairments were taken (a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)).
When assessing AIG's intent to sell a fixed maturity security, or whether it is more likely than not that AIG will be required to sell a fixed maturity security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, management evaluates relevant facts and circumstances including, but not limited to, decisions to reposition AIG's investment portfolio, sales of securities to meet cash flow needs and sales of securities to capitalize on favorable pricing.
AIG considers severe price declines and the duration of such price declines in its assessment of potential credit impairments.
In periods subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment charge that is not foreign exchange related for available for sale fixed maturity securities, AIG generally prospectively accretes into earnings over the remaining expected holding period of the security the difference between the new amortized cost and the expected undiscounted recovery value.

In assessing whether a credit impairment has occurred for a structured fixed maturity security, AIG performs evaluations of expected future cash flows. Certain critical assumptions are made with respect to the performance of the securities.
When estimating future cash flows for a structured fixed maturity security (e.g. RMBS, CMBS, CDO, ABS) management considers historical performance of underlying assets and available market information as well as bond-specific structural considerations, such as credit enhancement and priority of payment structure of the security. In addition, the process of estimating future cash flows includes, but is not limited to, the following critical inputs, which vary by asset class:
For corporate, municipal and sovereign fixed maturity securities determined to be credit impaired, management considers the fair value as the recovery value when available information does not indicate that another value is more relevant or reliable. When management identifies information that supports a recovery value other than the fair value, the determination of a recovery value considers scenarios specific to the issuer and the security, and may be based upon estimates of outcomes of corporate restructurings, political and macro economic factors,
52
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
stability and financial strength of the issuer, the value of any secondary sources of repayment and the disposition of assets.
Equity Securities
The impairment model for equity securities and other cost and equity method investments was not affected by the adoption of the new accounting standard related to other-than-temporary impairments in the second quarter of 2009. AIG continues to evaluate its available for sale equity securities, equity method and cost method investments for impairment by considering such securities as candidates for other-than-temporary impairment if they meet any of the following criteria:
The determination that an equity security is other-than-temporarily impaired requires the judgment of management and consideration of the fundamental condition of the issuer, its near-term prospects and all the relevant facts and circumstances. The above criteria also consider circumstances of a rapid and severe market valuation decline in which AIG could not reasonably assert that the impairment period would be temporary (severity losses).
Other Invested Assets
AIG's investments in funds and investment partnerships are evaluated for impairment consistent with the evaluation of equity securities for impairments as discussed above. Such evaluation considers market conditions, events and volatility that may impact the recoverability of the underlying investments within these funds and investment partnerships and is based on the nature of the underlying investments and specific inherent risks. Such risks may evolve based on the nature of the underlying investments.
AIG's investments in life settlement contracts are monitored for impairment based on the underlying life insurance policies, with cash flows reported monthly. An investment in a life settlement contract is considered impaired if the undiscounted cash flows resulting from the expected proceeds from the insurance policy are less than the carrying amount of the investment plus anticipated continuing costs. If an impairment loss is recognized, the investment is written down to fair value.
AIG's aircraft asset investments and investments in real estate are periodically evaluated for recoverability whenever changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may be impaired. When impairment indicators are present, AIG compares expected investment cash flows to carrying value. When the expected cash flows are less than the carrying value, the investments are written down to fair value with a corresponding charge to earnings.
Fixed Maturity Securities Impairment Policy Prior to April 1, 2009
In all periods prior to April 1, 2009, AIG assessed its ability to hold any fixed maturity available for sale security in an unrealized loss position to its recovery at each balance sheet date. The decision to sell any such fixed maturity security classified as available for sale reflected the judgment of AIG's management that the
53
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
security sold was 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 reflected management's judgment that the risk-adjusted ultimate recovery was less than the value achievable on sale.
In those periods, AIG evaluated its fixed maturity securities for other-than-temporary impairments with respect to valuation as well as credit.
After a fixed maturity security had been identified as other-than-temporarily impaired, the amount of such impairment was determined as the difference between fair value and amortized cost and the entire amount was recorded as a charge to earnings.
The accounting standards related to the consolidation of variable interest entities (VIEs) provide guidance for determining when to consolidate certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity that is at risk to allow the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. Consolidation of a VIE by its primary beneficiary is not based on majority voting interest, but rather is based on other criteria.
While AIG enters into various arrangements with VIEs in the normal course of business, AIG's involvement with VIEs is primarily as a passive investor in debt securities (rated and unrated) and equity interests issued by VIEs via its insurance companies. In all instances, AIG determines whether it is the primary beneficiary or a variable interest holder based on a qualitative assessment of the VIE. This includes a review of the VIE's capital structure, contractual relationships and terms, nature of the VIE's operations and purpose, nature of the VIE's interests issued, and AIG's involvements with the entity. AIG also evaluates the design of the VIE and the related risks the entity was designed to expose the variable interest holders to in evaluating consolidation.
For VIEs with attributes consistent with that of an investment company or a money market fund, the primary beneficiary is the party or group of related parties that absorbs a majority of the expected losses of the VIE, receives the majority of the expected residual returns of the VIE, or both.
For all other variable interest entities, the primary beneficiary is the entity that has both (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the entity's economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be potentially significant to the VIE. While also considering these factors, the consolidation conclusion depends on the breadth of AIG's decision-making ability and its ability to influence activities that significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE.
AIG's total off-balance sheet exposure associated with VIEs, primarily consisting of financial guarantees and commitments to real estate and investment funds, was $1.6 billion and $2.2 billion at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

AIG calculates its maximum exposure to loss to be (i) the amount invested in the debt or equity of the VIE, (ii) the notional amount of VIE assets or liabilities where AIG has also provided credit protection to the VIE with the VIE as the referenced obligation, and (iii) other commitments and guarantees to the VIE. Interest holders in VIEs sponsored by AIG generally have recourse only to the assets and cash flows of the VIEs and do not have recourse to AIG, except in limited circumstances when AIG has provided a guarantee to the VIE's interest holders.

RMBS, CMBS, Other ABS and CDOs
AIG, through its insurance company subsidiaries, is a passive investor in RMBS, CMBS, CDOs and other ABS primarily issued by domestic special-purpose entities. AIG did not sponsor or transfer assets to, or act as the servicer to these asset-backed structures, and was not involved in the design of these entities.
AIG, via AIGFP, also invests in CDOs and similar structures, which can be cash-based or synthetic and are managed by third parties. AIGFP's role is generally limited to that of a passive investor. It does not manage such structures.
AIG's maximum exposure in these types of structures is limited to its investment in securities issued by these entities. Based on the nature of AIG's investments and its passive involvement in these types of structures, AIG has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of these entities. The fair values of AIG's investments in these structures are reported in Notes 5 and 6 herein.
See Notes 5, 6 and 10 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of AIG's 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information on VIEs and asset-backed securities.
8. Derivatives and Hedge Accounting
AIG uses derivatives and other financial instruments as part of its financial risk management programs and as part of its investment operations. AIGFP has also transacted in derivatives as a dealer.
Derivatives are financial arrangements among two or more parties with returns linked to or "derived" from some underlying equity, debt, commodity or other asset, liability, or foreign exchange rate or other index or the occurrence of a specified payment event. Derivative payments may be based on interest rates, exchange rates, prices of certain securities, commodities, or financial or commodity indices or other variables. Derivatives, with the exception of bifurcated embedded derivatives, are reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheet in Unrealized gain on swaps, options and forward transactions, at fair value and Unrealized loss on swaps, options and forward contracts, at fair value. Bifurcated embedded derivatives are recorded with the host contract on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
AIG designated certain derivatives entered into by AIGFP with third parties as either fair value or cash flow hedges of certain debt issued by AIG Parent (including the Matched Investment Program (MIP)), ILFC and AGF. The fair value hedges included (i) interest rate swaps that were designated as hedges of the change in the fair value of fixed rate debt attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate and (ii) foreign currency swaps designated as hedges of the change in fair value of foreign currency denominated debt attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates and in certain cases also the benchmark interest rate. With respect to the cash flow hedges, (i) interest rate swaps were designated as hedges of the changes in cash flows on floating rate debt attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate, and (ii) foreign currency swaps were designated as hedges of changes in cash flows on foreign currency denominated debt attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate and foreign exchange rates.
AIG assesses, both at the hedge's inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items. Regression analysis is employed to assess the effectiveness of these hedges both on a prospective and retrospective basis. AIG does not utilize the shortcut method to assess hedge effectiveness. For net investment hedges, the matched terms method is utilized to assess hedge effectiveness.
AIG uses debt instruments in net investment hedge relationships to mitigate the foreign exchange risk associated with AIG's non-U.S. dollar functional currency foreign subsidiaries. AIG assesses the hedge effectiveness and measures the amount of ineffectiveness for these hedge relationships based on changes in spot exchange rates. AIG records the change in the carrying amount of these investments in the foreign currency translation adjustment within Accumulated other comprehensive loss. Simultaneously, the effective portion of the hedge of this exposure is also recorded in foreign currency translation adjustment and the ineffective portion, if any, is recorded in earnings. If (1) the notional amount of the hedging debt instrument matches the designated portion of the net investment and (2) the hedging debt instrument is denominated in the same currency as the functional currency of the hedged net investment, no ineffectiveness is recorded in earnings. For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010, AIG recognized gains of $11 million and $59 million, respectively, and for the three-and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009, AIG recognized losses of $106 million and $97 million, respectively, included in Foreign currency translation adjustment in Accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the net investment hedge relationships.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
AIGFP enters into derivative transactions to mitigate risk in its exposures (interest rates, currencies, commodities, credit and equities) arising from its transactions. In most cases, AIGFP did not hedge its exposures related to the credit default swaps it had written. As a dealer, AIGFP structured and entered into derivative transactions to meet the needs of counterparties who may be seeking to hedge certain aspects of such counterparties' operations or obtain a desired financial exposure.
AIGFP's derivative transactions involving interest rate swap transactions generally involve the exchange of fixed and floating rate interest payment obligations without the exchange of the underlying notional amounts. AIGFP typically became a principal in the exchange of interest payments between the parties and, therefore, is exposed to counterparty credit risk and may be exposed to loss, if counterparties default. Currency, commodity, and equity swaps are similar to interest rate swaps, but involve the exchange of specific currencies or cash flows based on the underlying commodity, equity securities or indices. Also, they may involve the exchange of notional 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.
AIGFP follows a policy of minimizing interest rate, currency, commodity, and equity risks associated with investment securities by entering into offsetting positions, on a security by security basis within its derivatives portfolio, thereby offsetting a significant portion of the unrealized appreciation and depreciation. In addition, to reduce its credit risk, AIGFP has entered into credit derivative transactions with respect to $455 million of securities to economically hedge its credit risk.
The timing and the amount of cash flows relating to AIGFP's 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 that obligate the holder to sell or purchase 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, AIGFP generally receives an option premium and then manages the risk of any unfavorable change in the value of the underlying commodity, currency or index by entering into offsetting transactions with third-party market participants. 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.
AIGFP Super Senior Credit Default Swaps
AIGFP entered into credit default swap transactions with the intention of earning revenue on credit exposure. In the majority of AIGFP's credit default swap transactions, AIGFP sold credit protection on a designated portfolio of loans or debt securities. Generally, AIGFP provides such credit protection on a "second loss" basis, meaning that AIGFP would incur credit losses only after a shortfall of principal and/or interest, or other credit events, in respect of the protected loans and debt securities, exceeds a specified threshold amount or level of "first losses."
Typically, the credit risk associated with a designated portfolio of loans or debt securities has been tranched into different layers of risk, which are then analyzed and rated by the credit rating agencies. At origination, there is usually an equity layer covering the first credit losses in respect of the portfolio up to a specified percentage of the total portfolio, and then successive layers ranging generally from a BBB-rated layer to one or more AAA-rated layers. A significant majority of AIGFP transactions that were rated by rating agencies had risk layers or tranches rated AAA at origination and are immediately junior to the threshold level above which AIGFP's payment obligation would generally arise. In transactions that were not rated, AIGFP applied equivalent risk criteria for setting the threshold level for its payment obligations. Therefore, the risk layer assumed by AIGFP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
with respect to the designated portfolio of loans or debt securities in these transactions is often called the "super senior" risk layer, defined as a layer of credit risk senior to one or more risk layers rated AAA by the credit rating agencies, or if the transaction is not rated, structured to the equivalent thereto.

All outstanding CDS transactions for regulatory capital purposes and the majority of the arbitrage portfolio have cash-settled structures in respect of a basket of reference obligations, where AIGFP's payment obligations, other than for posting collateral, may be triggered by payment shortfalls, bankruptcy and certain other events such as write-downs of the value of underlying assets. For the remainder of the CDS transactions in respect of the arbitrage portfolio, AIGFP's payment obligations are triggered by the occurrence of a credit event under a single

reference security, and performance is limited to a single payment by AIGFP in return for physical delivery by the counterparty of the reference security.
The expected weighted average maturity of AIGFP's super senior credit derivative portfolios as of June 30, 2010 was 0.8 years for the regulatory capital corporate loan portfolio, 3.4 years for the regulatory capital prime residential mortgage portfolio, 5.3 years for the regulatory capital other portfolio, 6.2 years for the multi-sector CDO arbitrage portfolio and 4.8 years for the corporate debt/CLO portfolio.
Regulatory Capital Portfolio
The regulatory capital portfolio represents derivatives written for financial institutions in Europe, for the purpose of providing regulatory capital relief rather than for arbitrage purposes. In exchange for a periodic fee, the counterparties receive credit protection with respect to a portfolio of diversified loans they own, thus reducing their minimum capital requirements. These CDS transactions were structured with early termination rights for counterparties allowing them to terminate these transactions at no cost to AIGFP at a certain period of time or upon a regulatory event such as the implementation of Basel II. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, $59.8 billion in net notional amount was terminated or matured at no cost to AIGFP. Through July 30, 2010, AIGFP had also received termination notices for an additional $1.8 billion in net notional amount with effective termination dates in 2010.
The regulatory capital relief CDS transactions require cash settlement and, other than for collateral posting, AIGFP is required to make a payment in connection with a regulatory capital relief transaction only if realized credit losses in respect of the underlying portfolio exceed AIGFP's attachment point.
All of the regulatory capital transactions directly or indirectly reference tranched pools of large numbers of whole loans that were originated by the financial institution (or its affiliates) receiving the credit protection, rather than structured securities containing loans originated by other third parties. In the vast majority of transactions, the loans are intended to be retained by the originating financial institution and in all cases the originating financial institution is the purchaser of the CDS, either directly or through an intermediary.
The super senior tranches of these CDS transactions continue to be supported by high levels of subordination, which, in most instances, have increased since origination. The weighted average subordination supporting the prime residential mortgage and corporate loan referenced portfolios at June 30, 2010 was 12.82 percent and 15.32 percent, respectively. The highest realized losses to date in any single residential mortgage and corporate loan pool were 2.56 percent and 0.52 percent, respectively. The corporate loan transactions are each comprised of several hundred secured and unsecured loans diversified by industry and, in some instances, by country, and have per-issuer concentration limits. Both types of transactions generally allow some substitution and replenishment of loans, subject to defined constraints, as older loans mature or are prepaid. These replenishment rights generally expire within the first few years of the trade, after which the proceeds of any prepaid or maturing loans are applied first to the super senior tranche (sequentially), thereby increasing the relative level of subordination supporting the balance of AIGFP's super senior CDS exposure.
Given the current performance of the underlying portfolios, the level of subordination and AIGFP's own assessment of the credit quality of the underlying portfolio, as well as the risk mitigants inherent in the transaction structures, AIGFP does not expect that it will be required to make payments pursuant to the contractual terms of those transactions providing regulatory relief. AIGFP continues to reassess the expected maturity of this portfolio. As of June 30, 2010, AIGFP estimated that the weighted average expected maturity of the portfolio was 2.34 years. AIGFP has not been required to make any payments as part of terminations initiated by counterparties. The regulatory benefit of these transactions for AIGFP's financial institution counterparties is generally derived from the terms of Basel I that existed through the end of 2007 and which is in the process of being replaced by Basel II. It was expected that financial institution counterparties would have transitioned from Basel I to Basel II by the end of the two-year adoption period on December 31, 2009, after which they would

have received little or no additional regulatory benefit from these CDS transactions, except in a small number of specific instances. However, in 2009, the Basel Committee announced that it had agreed to keep in place the Basel I capital floors beyond the end of 2009, although it remains to be seen how this extension will be implemented by the various European Central Banking districts. Should certain counterparties continue to receive favorable regulatory capital benefits from these transactions, those counterparties may not exercise their options to terminate the transactions in the expected time frame.
Arbitrage Portfolio
The arbitrage portfolio includes arbitrage-motivated transactions written on multi-sector CDOs or designated pools of investment grade senior unsecured corporate debt or CLOs.
The outstanding multi-sector CDO portfolio at June 30, 2010 was written on CDO transactions (including synthetic CDOs) that generally held a concentration of RMBS, CMBS and inner CDO securities. At June 30, 2010, approximately $3.3 billion net notional amount (fair value liability of $2.0 billion) of this portfolio was written on super senior multi-sector CDOs that contain some level of sub-prime RMBS collateral, with a concentration in the 2005 and earlier vintages of sub-prime RMBS. AIGFP's portfolio also included both high grade and mezzanine CDOs.
The majority of multi-sector CDO CDS transactions require cash settlement and, other than for collateral posting, AIGFP is required to make a payment in connection with such transactions only if realized credit losses in respect of the underlying portfolio exceed AIGFP's attachment point. In the remainder of the portfolio, AIGFP's payment obligations are triggered by the occurrence of a credit event under a single reference security, and performance is limited to a single payment by AIGFP in return for physical delivery by the counterparty of the reference security.
Included in the multi-sector CDO portfolio are 2a-7 Puts. Holders of securities are required, in certain circumstances, to tender their securities to the issuer at par. If an issuer's remarketing agent is unable to resell the securities so tendered, AIGFP must purchase the securities at par so long as the security has not experienced a payment default or certain bankruptcy events with respect to the issuer of such security have not occurred. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, there were $840 million and $1.6 billion, respectively, of net notional amount of 2a-7 Puts issued by AIGFP outstanding. During the second quarter of 2010, $531 million of net notional amount of 2a-7 Puts were terminated. AIGFP is not a party to any commitments to issue any additional 2a-7 Puts.
ML III has agreed not to exercise its put option on multi-sector CDOs or simultaneously to exercise its put option with a corresponding par purchase of the multi-sector CDOs with respect to the $148 million notional amount of multi-sector CDOs held by ML III with 2a-7 Puts that may be exercised on or prior to December 31, 2010 and $514 million notional amount of multi-sector CDOs held by ML III with 2a-7 Puts that may be exercised on or prior to April 30, 2011. In addition, there are $178 million notional amount of multi-sector CDOs held by ML III with 2a-7 Puts that may not be exercised on or prior to December 31, 2010, for which ML III has only agreed not to exercise its put option on multi-sector CDOs or simultaneously to exercise its put option with a corresponding par purchase of the multi-sector CDOs through December 31, 2010. In exchange, AIGFP has agreed to pay to ML III the consideration that it receives for providing the put protection. Additionally, ML III has agreed that if it sells any such multi-sector CDO with a 2a-7 Put to a third-party purchaser, such sale will be conditioned upon, among other things, such third-party purchaser agreeing that until the legal final maturity date of such multi-sector CDO it will not exercise its put option on such multi-sector CDO or it will make a corresponding par purchase of such multi-sector CDO simultaneously with the exercise of its put option. In exchange for such commitment from the third-party purchaser, AIGFP will agree to pay to such third-party purchaser the consideration that it receives for providing the put protection.

ML III has agreed to assist AIGFP in efforts to mitigate or eliminate AIGFP's obligations under such 2a-7 Puts relating to multi-sector CDOs held by ML III prior to the expiration of ML III's obligations with respect to such multi-sector CDOs. There can be no assurances that such efforts will be successful. To the extent that such efforts are not successful with respect to a multi-sector CDO held by ML III with a 2a-7 Put and ML III has not sold such multi-sector CDO to a third party who has committed not to exercise its put option on such multi-sector CDO or to make a corresponding par purchase of such multi-sector CDO simultaneously with the exercise of its put option then, upon the expiration of ML III's aforementioned obligations with respect to such multi-sector CDO, AIGFP will be obligated under the related 2a-7 Put to purchase such multi-sector CDO at par in the circumstances and subject to the limited conditions contained in the applicable agreements.
The corporate arbitrage portfolio consists principally of CDS transactions written on portfolios of senior unsecured corporate obligations that were generally rated investment grade at inception of the CDS. These CDS transactions require cash settlement. Also, included in this portfolio are CDS transactions with a net notional amount of $1.3 billion written on the senior part of the capital structure of CLOs, which require physical settlement.
Certain of the super senior credit default swaps provide the counterparties with an additional termination right if AIG's rating level falls to BBB or Baa2. At that level, counterparties to the CDS transactions with a net notional amount of $10.1 billion at June 30, 2010 have the right to terminate the transactions early. If counterparties exercise this right, the contracts provide for the counterparties to be compensated for the cost to replace the transactions, or an amount reasonably determined in good faith to estimate the losses the counterparties would incur as a result of the termination of the transactions.
Due to long-term maturities of the CDS in the arbitrage portfolio, AIG is unable to make reasonable estimates of the periods during which any payments would be made. However, the net notional amount represents the maximum exposure to loss on the super senior credit default swap portfolio.
Collateral
Most of AIGFP's super senior credit default swaps are subject to collateral posting provisions, which typically are governed by International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA) Master Agreements (Master Agreements) and related Credit Support Annexes (CSA). These provisions differ among counterparties and asset classes. AIGFP has received collateral calls from counterparties in respect of certain super senior credit default swaps, of which a large majority relate to multi-sector CDOs. To a lesser extent, AIGFP has also received collateral calls in respect of certain super senior credit default swaps entered into by counterparties for regulatory capital relief purposes and in respect of corporate arbitrage.
The amount of future collateral posting requirements is a function of AIG's credit ratings, the rating of the reference obligations and the market value of the relevant reference obligations, with the latter being the most significant factor. While a high level of correlation exists between the amount of collateral posted and the valuation of these contracts in respect of the arbitrage portfolio, a similar relationship does not exist with respect to the regulatory capital portfolio given the nature of how the amount of collateral for these transactions is determined. Given the severe market disruption, lack of observable data and the uncertainty of future market price movements, AIGFP is unable to reasonably estimate the amounts of collateral that it may be required to post in the future.
At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the amounts of collateral postings with respect to AIGFP's super senior credit default swap portfolio (prior to offsets for other transactions) were $4.0 billion and $4.6 billion, respectively.

AIGFP Written Single Name Credit Default Swaps
AIGFP has also entered into credit default swap contracts referencing single-name exposures written on corporate, index, and asset-backed credits, with the intention of earning spread income on credit exposure. Some of these transactions were entered into as part of a long short strategy allowing AIGFP to earn the net spread between CDS it wrote and ones they purchased. At June 30, 2010, the net notional amount of these written CDS contracts was $1.8 billion. AIGFP has hedged these exposures by purchasing offsetting CDS contracts of $240 million in net notional amount. The net unhedged position of approximately $1.6 billion represents the maximum exposure to loss on these CDS contracts. The average maturity of the written CDS contracts is 6.54 years. At June 30, 2010, the fair value of derivative liability (which represents the carrying value) of the portfolio of CDS was $264 million.
Upon a triggering event (e.g., a default) with respect to the underlying credit, AIGFP would normally have the option to settle the position through an auction process (cash settlement) or pay the notional amount of the contract to the counterparty in exchange for a bond issued by the underlying credit obligor (physical settlement).
AIGFP wrote these written CDS contracts under Master Agreements. The majority of these Master Agreements include CSA, which provide for collateral postings at various ratings and threshold levels. At June 30, 2010, AIGFP had posted $269 million of collateral under these contracts.
Non-AIGFP Derivatives
AIG and its subsidiaries (other than AIGFP) also use derivatives and other instruments as part of their financial risk management programs. Interest rate derivatives (such as interest rate swaps) are used to manage interest rate risk associated with investments in fixed income securities, outstanding medium- and long-term notes, and other interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities. In addition, foreign exchange derivatives (principally foreign exchange forwards and options) are used to economically mitigate risk associated with non-U.S. dollar denominated debt, net capital exposures and foreign exchange transactions. The derivatives are effective economic hedges of the exposures they are meant to offset.
In addition to hedging activities, AIG also uses derivative instruments with respect to investment operations, which include, among other things, credit default swaps, and purchasing investments with embedded derivatives, such as equity linked notes and convertible bonds.
Matched Investment Program Written Credit Default Swaps
The MIP, which is currently in run-off, has entered into CDS contracts as a writer of protection, with the intention of earning spread income on credit exposure in an unfunded form. The portfolio of CDS contracts were single-name exposures and, at inception, were predominantly high grade corporate credits.
The MIP invested in written CDS contracts through an affiliate, AIG Markets, which then transacts directly with unaffiliated third parties under ISDA agreements. As of June 30, 2010, the notional amount of written CDS contracts was $3.9 billion with an average credit rating of BBB+. At that date, the average maturity of the written CDS contracts was 1.9 years and the fair value of the derivative liability (which represents the carrying value) of the MIP's written CDS was $80.5 million.
The majority of the ISDA agreements include CSA provisions, which provide for collateral postings at various ratings and threshold levels. At June 30, 2010, $29.7 million of collateral was posted for CDS contracts related to the MIP. The notional amount represents the maximum exposure to loss on the written CDS contracts. However, due to the average investment grade rating and expected default recovery rates, actual losses are expected to be less.

Upon a triggering event (e.g., a default) with respect to the underlying credit, the MIP would normally have the option to settle the position through an auction process (cash settlement) or pay the notional amount of the contract to the counterparty in exchange for a bond issued by the underlying credit (physical settlement).
Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features
AIG transacts in derivative transactions directly with unaffiliated third parties under ISDA agreements. Many of the ISDA agreements also include CSA provisions, which provide for collateral postings at various ratings and threshold levels. In addition, AIG attempts to reduce credit risk with certain counterparties by entering into agreements that enable collateral to be obtained from a counterparty on an upfront or contingent basis.
The aggregate fair value of AIG's derivative instruments, including those of AIGFP, that contain credit risk-related contingent features that were in a net liability position at June 30, 2010 was approximately $7.8 billion. The aggregate fair value of assets posted as collateral under these contracts at June 30, 2010 was $7.6 billion.
It is estimated that at June 30, 2010, based on AIG's outstanding financial derivative transactions, including those of AIGFP at that date, a one-notch downgrade of AIG's long-term senior debt ratings to Baa1 by Moody's Investors Service (Moody's) and BBB+ by Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC, a subsidiary of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (S&P), would permit counterparties to make additional collateral calls and permit the counterparties to elect early termination of contracts, resulting in up to approximately $1.7 billion of corresponding collateral postings and termination payments; a two-notch downgrade to Baa2 by Moody's and BBB by S&P would result in approximately $1.3 billion in additional collateral postings and termination payments above the one-notch downgrade amount; and a three-notch downgrade to Baa3 by Moody's and BBB- by S&P would result in approximately $0.2 billion in additional collateral postings and termination payments above the two-notch downgrade amount. Additional collateral postings upon downgrade are estimated based on the factors in the individual collateral posting provisions of the CSA with each counterparty and current exposure as of June 30, 2010. Factors considered in estimating the termination payments upon downgrade include current market conditions, the complexity of the derivative transactions, historical termination experience and other observable market events such as bankruptcy and downgrade events that have occurred at other companies. The actual termination payments could significantly differ from management's estimates given market conditions at the time of downgrade and the level of uncertainty in estimating both the number of counterparties who may elect to exercise their right to terminate and the payment that may be triggered in connection with any such exercise.
9. Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees
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.
Although AIG cannot currently quantify its ultimate liability for unresolved litigation and investigation matters including those referred to below, it is possible that such liability could have a material adverse effect on AIG's consolidated financial condition or its consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows for an individual reporting period.
(a) Litigation and Regulatory Matters
Overview. AIG and its subsidiaries, in common with the insurance and financial services industries in general, are subject to litigation, including claims for punitive damages, in the normal course of their business. In AIG's insurance operations (including United Guaranty Corporation (UGC)), litigation arising from claims settlement activities is generally considered in the establishment of AIG's liability for unpaid claims and claims adjustment expense. However, the potential for increasing jury awards and settlements makes it difficult to assess the ultimate outcome of such litigation. AIG is also subject to derivative, class action and other claims asserted by its
66

shareholders and others alleging, among other things, breach of fiduciary duties by its directors and officers and violations of federal and state securities laws.
Various federal, state and foreign regulatory and governmental agencies have been reviewing certain public disclosures, transactions and practices of AIG and its subsidiaries in connection with, among other matters, AIG's liquidity concerns, payments by AIG subsidiaries to non-U.S. persons and industry-wide and other inquiries including matters relating to compensation paid to AIGFP employees and payments made to AIGFP counterparties. These reviews included investigations by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) with respect to the valuation of AIGFP's multi-sector CDO super senior credit default swap portfolio under fair value accounting rules, and the adequacy of AIG's enterprise risk management processes with respect to AIG's exposure to the U.S. residential mortgage market, and disclosures relating thereto. There was also an investigation by the U.K. Serious Fraud Office (SFO) and an inquiry by the U.K. Financial Services Authority (FSA) with respect to the U.K. operations of AIGFP. On May 21, 2010, the DOJ informed AIG that it had determined not to initiate any criminal proceedings against AIG, AIGFP or any of its current or former employees. On June 3, 2010, the SFO informed AIG that it had terminated its investigation without initiating any criminal or civil proceedings. On June 16, 2010, the SEC informed AIG that it had concluded its investigation and determined not to bring civil charges against AIG or any of its current or former employees. On June 30, 2010, the FSA informed AIG that it had terminated its investigation without any enforcement action. AIG has cooperated, and will continue to cooperate, in producing documents and other information in response to subpoenas and other requests.
Although the specific SEC investigations discussed above have been resolved, AIG cannot predict whether Wells notices will be sent to employees or former employees with respect to any other investigation. Under SEC procedures, a Wells notice is an indication that the SEC staff has made a preliminary decision to recommend enforcement action that provides recipients with an opportunity to respond to the SEC staff before a formal recommendation is finalized.
AIG's Subprime Exposure, AIGFP's Credit Default Swap Portfolio and Related Matters
AIG, AIGFP and certain directors and officers of AIG, AIGFP and other AIG subsidiaries have been named in various actions relating to AIG's exposure to the U.S. residential subprime mortgage market, unrealized market valuation losses on AIGFP's super senior credit default swap portfolio, losses and liquidity constraints relating to AIG's securities lending program and related disclosure and other matters (Subprime Exposure Issues).
Consolidated 2008 Securities Litigation. Between May 21, 2008 and January 15, 2009, eight purported securities class action complaints were filed against AIG and certain directors and officers of AIG and AIGFP, AIG's outside auditors, and the underwriters of various securities offerings in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the Southern District of New York), alleging claims under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) or claims under the Securities Act of 1933 (the Securities Act). On March 20, 2009, the Court consolidated all eight of the purported securities class actions as In re American International Group, Inc. 2008 Securities Litigation (the Consolidated 2008 Securities Litigation).
On May 19, 2009, lead plaintiff in the Consolidated 2008 Securities Litigation filed a consolidated complaint on behalf of purchasers of AIG stock during the alleged class period of March 16, 2006 through September 16, 2008, and on behalf of purchasers of various AIG securities offered pursuant to AIG's shelf registration statements. The consolidated complaint alleges that defendants made statements during the class period in press releases, AIG's quarterly and year-end filings, during conference calls, and in various registration statements and prospectuses in connection with the various offerings that were materially false and misleading and that artificially inflated the price of AIG's stock. The alleged false and misleading statements relate to, among other things, the Subprime Exposure Issues. The consolidated complaint alleges violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act. On August 5, 2009, defendants filed motions to dismiss the consolidated complaint, and those motions are pending.

ERISA Actions Southern District of New York. Between June 25, 2008, and November 25, 2008, AIG, certain directors and officers of AIG, and members of AIG's Retirement Board and Investment Committee were named as defendants in eight purported class action complaints asserting claims on behalf of participants in certain pension plans sponsored by AIG or its subsidiaries. On March 19, 2009, the Court consolidated these eight actions as In re American International Group, Inc. ERISA Litigation II. On June 26, 2009, lead plaintiffs' counsel filed a consolidated amended complaint. The action purports to be brought as a class action under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA) on behalf of all participants in or beneficiaries of certain benefit plans of AIG and its subsidiaries that offered shares of AIG's common stock. In the consolidated amended complaint, plaintiffs allege, among other things, that the defendants breached their fiduciary responsibilities to plan participants and their beneficiaries under ERISA, by continuing to offer the AIG Stock Fund as an investment option in the plans after it allegedly became imprudent to do so. The alleged ERISA violations relate to, among other things, the defendants' purported failure to monitor and/or disclose certain matters, including the Subprime Exposure Issues. On September 18, 2009, defendants filed motions to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint, and those motions are pending.
Consolidated 2007 Derivative Litigation. On November 20, 2007 and August 6, 2008, purported shareholder derivative actions were filed in the Southern District of New York naming as defendants directors and officers of AIG and its subsidiaries and asserting claims on behalf of nominal defendant AIG. The actions have been consolidated as In re American International Group, Inc. 2007 Derivative Litigation (the Consolidated 2007 Derivative Litigation). On June 3, 2009, lead plaintiff filed a consolidated amended complaint naming additional directors and officers of AIG and its subsidiaries as defendants. As amended, the factual allegations include the Subprime Exposure Issues and AIG and AIGFP employee retention payments and related compensation issues. The claims asserted on behalf of nominal defendant AIG include breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets, unjust enrichment, contribution and violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act. On August 5 and 26, 2009, AIG and defendants filed motions to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint. On December 18, 2009, a separate action, previously commenced in the Central District of California and transferred to the Southern District of New York on June 5, 2009, was consolidated into the Consolidated 2007 Derivative Litigation and dismissed without prejudice to the pursuit of the claims in the Consolidated 2007 Derivative Litigation.
On March 30, 2010, the Court dismissed the action due to plaintiff's failure to make a pre-suit demand on AIG's Board of Directors. On March 31, 2010, judgment was entered. On April 29, 2010, plaintiff filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
Other Derivative Actions. Separate purported derivative actions, alleging similar claims as the Consolidated 2007 Derivative Litigation, have been brought asserting claims on behalf of the nominal defendant AIG in various jurisdictions. These actions are all stayed pending further proceedings in the Consolidated 2007 Derivative Litigation (except the Supreme Court of New York, New York County case, but no defendant has been served in that case). These actions are described below:

Canadian Securities Class Action Ontario Superior Court of Justice. On November 12, 2008, an application was filed in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice for leave to bring a purported class action against AIG, AIGFP, certain directors and officers of AIG and Joseph Cassano, the former Chief Executive Officer of AIGFP, pursuant to the Ontario Securities Act. If the Court grants the application, a class plaintiff will be permitted to file a statement of claim against defendants. The proposed statement of claim would assert a class period of November 10, 2006 through September 16, 2008 (later amended to March 16, 2006 through September 16, 2008) and would allege that during this period defendants made false and misleading statements and omissions in quarterly and annual reports and during oral presentations in violation of the Ontario Securities Act. On April 17, 2009, defendants filed a motion record in support of their motion to stay or dismiss for lack of jurisdiction and forum non conveniens. On July 12, 2010, the Court adjourned a hearing on the motion pending a decision by the Supreme Court of Canada in another action with respect to similar issues raised in the action pending against AIG.
Other Litigation Related to AIGFP
On September 30, 2009, Brookfield Asset Management, Inc. and Brysons International, Ltd. (together, Brookfield) filed a complaint against AIG and AIGFP in the Southern District of New York. Brookfield seeks a declaration that a 1990 interest rate swap agreement between Brookfield and AIGFP (guaranteed by AIG) terminated upon the occurrence of certain alleged events that Brookfield contends constituted defaults under the swap agreement's standard "bankruptcy" default provision. Brookfield claims that it is excused from all future payment obligations under the swap agreement on the basis of the purported termination. At June 30, 2010, the estimated present value of expected future cash flows discounted at LIBOR was $1.4 billion. It is AIG's position that no termination event has occurred and that the swap agreement remains in effect.
A determination that AIG triggered a "bankruptcy event of default" under the swap agreement could, depending on the Court's precise holding, affect other AIG or AIGFP agreements that contain the same or similar default provisions. Such a determination could also affect derivative agreements or other contracts between third parties, such as credit default swaps under which AIG is a reference credit, which could affect the trading price of AIG securities. On December 17, 2009 defendants filed a motion to dismiss.
Securities Lending Dispute with Transatlantic Holdings Inc.
On May 24, 2010, Transatlantic Holdings, Inc. (Transatlantic) and two of its subsidiaries, Transatlantic Reinsurance Company and Trans Re Zurich Reinsurance Company Ltd. (collectively, Claimants), commenced an arbitration proceeding before the American Arbitration Association in New York against AIG and two of its subsidiaries. Claimants allege breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, and common law fraud in connection with certain securities lending agency agreements between AIG's subsidiaries and Claimants. Claimants allege that AIG and its subsidiaries should be liable for the losses that Claimants purport to have suffered in connection with

securities lending and investment activities, and seek damages in excess of $350 million. It is AIG's position that there was no breach of the operative agreements, and that Claimants' other allegations including purported breach of fiduciary duty and fraud are not meritorious.
On June 29, 2010, AIG brought a petition in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, seeking to enjoin the arbitration on the ground that AIG is not a party to the securities lending agency agreements with Claimants. The parties have agreed to resolve that petition by consolidating the arbitration commenced by Claimants with a separate arbitration, commenced by AIG on June 29, 2010, in which AIG is seeking damages from Transatlantic for breach of a Master Separation Agreement among Transatlantic, AIG and one of its subsidiary companies.
Alico Life International Limited's Italian Internal Fund Suspensions
Certain policyholders of certain unit-linked funds offered by the Italian branch of Alico Life International Limited (ALIL), the Irish subsidiary of ALICO, have either commenced or threatened litigation against ALIL's Italian branch as a result of the suspension of withdrawals from and diminution in value of those funds since late 2008, alleging damages for misrepresentation, mis-selling, improper or inadequate disclosures and other related claims against ALIL.
All of the lawsuits are in early stages of litigation. In March 2010, ALIL learned that the public prosecutor in Milan had opened a formal investigation into the actions of employees of ALIL, as well as employees of ALIL's major distributor, based on a policyholder's complaint.
ALIL is cooperating with the Italian and Irish regulatory authorities, which have jurisdiction in connection with this matter, and is in discussions to address their concerns as well as those of the affected policyholders.
Under the terms of the ALICO Stock Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which MetLife has agreed to acquire ALICO, AIG has agreed to indemnify MetLife and its affiliates in respect of any third party claims and regulatory fines associated with ALIL's suspended funds.
Settlement Agreement with the Starr Parties
On November 25, 2009, a settlement agreement and memorandum of understanding (the AIG/Greenberg MOU) was entered into by AIG, on the one hand, and AIG's former Chief Executive Officer, Maurice R. Greenberg, AIG's former Chief Financial Officer, Howard I. Smith, C.V. Starr & Company, Inc. (C.V. Starr) and Starr International Company, Inc. (SICO), on the other hand (the Starr Parties). Under the terms of the AIG/Greenberg MOU, the parties have agreed to release each other from all claims, including any claims by Greenberg and Smith against AIG for indemnification of future legal fees and expenses or settlement costs.
In addition, pursuant to the AIG/Greenberg MOU:
The Starr Parties have taken the position that the AIG/Greenberg MOU also releases certain of the derivative claims being pursued by the shareholder plaintiffs in the Delaware 2004/2005 Derivative Litigation and the New York 2004/2005 Derivative Litigation. AIG has taken the opposite position. The Delaware 2004/2005 Derivative Litigation and the New York 2004/2005 Derivative Litigation are described below under "Litigation Related to the Matters Underlying the 2006 Regulatory Settlements."

2006 Regulatory Settlements and Related Regulatory Matters
2006 Regulatory Settlements. In February 2006, AIG reached a resolution of claims and matters under investigation with the DOJ, the SEC, the Office of the New York Attorney General (NYAG) and the New York State Department of Insurance (DOI). The settlements resolved investigations conducted by the SEC, NYAG and DOI in connection with the accounting, financial reporting and insurance brokerage practices of AIG and its subsidiaries, as well as claims relating to the underpayment of certain workers' compensation premium taxes and other assessments. These settlements did not, however, resolve investigations by regulators from other states into insurance brokerage practices related to contingent commissions and other broker-related conduct, such as alleged bid rigging. Nor did the settlements resolve any obligations that AIG may have to state guarantee funds in connection with any of these matters.
As a result of these settlements, AIG made payments or placed amounts in escrow in 2006 totaling approximately $1.64 billion, $225 million of which represented fines and penalties. Amounts held in escrow totaling approximately $338 million, including interest thereon, are included in Other assets at June 30, 2010. At that date, all of the funds were escrowed for settlement of claims resulting from the underpayment by AIG of its residual market assessments for workers' compensation.
In addition to the escrowed funds, $800 million was deposited into, and subsequently disbursed by, a fund under the supervision of the SEC, to resolve claims asserted against AIG by investors, including the securities class action and shareholder lawsuits described below.
Also, as part of the settlements, AIG agreed to retain, for a period of three years, an independent consultant to conduct a review that included, among other things, the adequacy of AIG's internal control over financial reporting, the policies, procedures and effectiveness of AIG's regulatory, compliance and legal functions and the remediation plan that AIG has implemented as a result of its own internal review.
Other Regulatory Settlements. AIG's 2006 regulatory settlements with the SEC, DOJ, NYAG and DOI did not resolve investigations by regulators from other states into insurance brokerage practices. AIG entered into agreements effective in early 2008 with the Attorneys General of the States of Florida, Hawaii, Maryland, Michigan, Oregon, Texas and West Virginia; the Commonwealths of Massachusetts and Pennsylvania; and the District of Columbia; as well as the Florida Department of Financial Services and the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation, relating to their respective industry-wide investigations into producer compensation and insurance placement practices. The settlements called for total payments of $26 million by AIG, of which $4.4 million was paid under previous settlement agreements. During the term of the settlement agreements, which run through early 2018, AIG will continue to maintain certain producer compensation disclosure and ongoing compliance initiatives. AIG will also continue to cooperate with the industry-wide investigations.
NAIC Examination of Workers' Compensation Premium Reporting. During 2006, the Settlement Review Working Group of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), under the direction of the States of Indiana, Minnesota and Rhode Island, began an investigation into AIG's reporting of workers' compensation premiums. In late 2007, the Settlement Review Working Group recommended that a multi-state targeted market conduct examination focusing on workers' compensation insurance be commenced under the direction of the NAIC's Market Analysis Working Group. AIG was informed of the multi-state targeted market conduct examination in January 2008. The lead states in the multi-state examination are Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island. All other states (and the District of Columbia) have agreed to participate in the multi-state examination. To date, the examination has focused on legacy issues related to AIG's writing and reporting of workers' compensation insurance prior to 1996. AIG has also been advised that the examination will focus on current compliance with legal requirements applicable to such business. AIG has not been advised that any determinations have been made with respect to these issues, and cannot predict either the outcome of the investigation or provide any assurance regarding regulatory action that may result from the investigation.

Litigation Related to the Matters Underlying the 2006 Regulatory Settlements
AIG and certain present and former directors and officers of AIG have been named in various actions related to the matters underlying the 2006 Regulatory Settlements. These actions are described below.
The Consolidated 2004 Securities Litigation. Beginning in October 2004, a number of putative securities fraud class action suits were filed in the Southern District of New York against AIG and consolidated as In re American International Group, Inc. Securities Litigation (the Consolidated 2004 Securities Litigation). Subsequently, a separate, though similar, securities fraud action was also brought against AIG by certain Florida pension funds. The lead plaintiff in the Consolidated 2004 Securities Litigation is a group of public retirement systems and pension funds benefiting Ohio state employees, suing on behalf of themselves and all purchasers of AIG's publicly traded securities between October 28, 1999 and April 1, 2005. The named defendants are AIG and a number of present and former AIG officers and directors, as well as Starr, SICO, General Reinsurance Corporation (General Re), and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), among others. The lead plaintiff alleges, among other things, that AIG: (1) concealed that it engaged in anti-competitive conduct through alleged payment of contingent commissions to brokers and participation in illegal bid-rigging; (2) concealed that it used "income smoothing" products and other techniques to inflate its earnings; (3) concealed that it marketed and sold "income smoothing" insurance products to other companies; and (4) misled investors about the scope of government investigations. In addition, the lead plaintiff alleges that Greenberg manipulated AIG's stock price. The lead plaintiff asserts claims for violations of Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act, Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and Sections 20(a) and Section 20A of the Exchange Act.
In October 2009, the lead plaintiff advised the Court that it had entered into a settlement agreement with Greenberg, Smith, Christian M. Milton, Michael J. Castelli, SICO and Starr. At the lead plaintiff's request, the Court has entered an order dismissing all of the lead plaintiff's claims against these defendants "without prejudice" to any party. The lead plaintiff has also voluntarily dismissed Frank Hoenemeyer, L. Michael Murphy, and Richmond Insurance Company, Ltd.
On February 22, 2010, the Court issued an opinion granting, in part, lead plaintiffs' motion for class certification. The Court rejected lead plaintiffs' request to include in the class purchasers of certain AIG bonds and declined to certify a class with respect to certain counts of the complaint and dismissed those claims for lack of standing. With respect to the remaining claims under the Exchange Act on behalf of putative class members who had purchased AIG Common Stock, the Court declined to certify a class as to certain defendants other than AIG and rejected lead plaintiffs' claims that class members could establish injury based on disclosures on two of the six dates lead plaintiffs had proposed, but certified a class consisting of all shareholders who purchased or otherwise acquired AIG Common Stock during the class period of October 28, 1999 to April 1, 2005, and who possessed that stock over one or more of the dates October 14, 2004, October 15, 2004, March 17, 2005 or April 1, 2005, as well as persons who held AIG Common Stock in two companies at the time they were acquired by AIG in exchange for AIG Common Stock, and were allegedly damaged thereby. In light of the class certification decision, on March 5, 2010, the Court denied as moot General Re's and lead plaintiffs' motion to certify their proposed settlement, and on March 18, 2010, PwC withdrew its motion to approve its proposed settlement with lead plaintiffs. Lead plaintiffs and AIG each filed petitions requesting permission to file an interlocutory appeal of the class certification decision. AIG, General Re, Richard Napier and Ronald Ferguson each filed opposition briefs to lead plaintiffs' petition.
On May 17, 2010, PwC and lead plaintiffs jointly moved for final approval of their settlement as proposed prior to class certification. On June 23, 2010, General Re and lead plaintiffs jointly moved for preliminary approval of their settlement.
On June 28, 2010, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit granted AIG's petition seeking permission to file an interlocutory appeal of the class certification decision, and denied the petition by lead plaintiffs.

On July 14, 2010, AIG approved the terms of a settlement (the Settlement) with lead plaintiffs. The Settlement is conditioned on, among other things, court approval and a minimum level of shareholder participation. Under the terms of the Settlement, if consummated, AIG will pay an aggregate of $725 million, $175 million of which is to be paid into escrow within ten days of preliminary court approval. AIG's obligation to fund the remainder of the settlement amount is conditioned on its having consummated one or more common stock offerings raising net proceeds of at least $550 million prior to final court approval (Qualified Offering). AIG has agreed to use best efforts, consistent with the fiduciary duties of AIG's management and Board of Directors, to effect a Qualified Offering, but the decision as to whether market conditions or pending or contemplated corporate transactions make it commercially reasonable to proceed with such an offering will be within AIG's unilateral discretion. In the event that AIG effects a registered secondary offering of common stock on behalf of the Department of the Treasury resulting in the Department of the Treasury receiving proceeds of at least $550 million, then market access will be deemed to have been demonstrated and AIG shall be deemed to have consummated a Qualified Offering. AIG, in its sole discretion, also may fund the $550 million from other sources. If AIG does not fund the $550 million before final court approval of the Settlement, lead plaintiffs may terminate the agreement, elect to acquire freely transferable shares of AIG common stock with a market value of $550 million provided AIG is able to obtain all necessary approvals, or extend the period for AIG to complete a Qualified Offering. On July 20, 2010, at the joint request of AIG and lead plaintiffs, the District Court entered an order staying all deadlines in the case.
The New York 2004/2005 Derivative Litigation. Between October 25, 2004 and July 14, 2005, seven separate derivative actions were filed in the Southern District of New York, five of which were consolidated into a single action (the New York 2004/2005 Derivative Litigation). The complaint in this action contains nearly the same types of allegations made in the Consolidated 2004 Securities Litigation. The named defendants include current and former officers and directors of AIG, as well as Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. (Marsh), SICO, Starr, ACE Limited and subsidiaries (Ace), General Re, PwC, and certain employees or officers of these entity defendants. Plaintiffs assert claims for breach of fiduciary duty, gross mismanagement, waste of corporate assets, unjust enrichment, insider selling, auditor breach of contract, auditor professional negligence and disgorgement from Greenberg and Smith of incentive-based compensation and AIG share proceeds under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, among others. Plaintiffs seek, among other things, compensatory damages, corporate governance reforms, and a voiding of the election of certain AIG directors. AIG's Board of Directors has appointed a special committee of independent directors (Special Committee) to review the matters asserted in the operative consolidated derivative complaint. The Court has entered an order staying this action pending resolution of the Delaware 2004/2005 Derivative Litigation discussed below. The Court also has entered an order that termination of certain named defendants from the Delaware action applies to this action without further order of the Court. On February 26, 2009, the Court dismissed those AIG officer and director defendants against whom the shareholder plaintiffs in the Delaware action had not pursued claims.
Under the AIG/Greenberg MOU, AIG agreed to undertake to dismiss with prejudice its claims against Greenberg and Smith in the New York 2004/2005 Derivative Litigation. The Starr Parties have taken the position that the AIG/Greenberg MOU also releases the derivative claims being pursued by the shareholder plaintiffs in this litigation. AIG has taken the opposite position.
The Delaware 2004/2005 Derivative Litigation. From October 2004 to April 2005, AIG shareholders filed five derivative complaints in the Delaware Chancery Court. All of these derivative lawsuits were consolidated into a single action as In re American International Group, Inc. Consolidated Derivative Litigation (the Delaware 2004/2005 Derivative Litigation). The amended consolidated complaint named 43 defendants (not including nominal defendant AIG) who, as in the New York 2004/2005 Derivative Litigation, were current and former officers and directors of AIG, as well as other entities and certain of their current and former employees and directors. The factual allegations, legal claims and relief sought in this action are similar to those alleged in the New York 2004/2005 Derivative Litigation, except that the claims are only under state law.

In early 2007, the Court approved an agreement that AIG be realigned as plaintiff, and, on June 13, 2007, acting on the direction of the Special Committee, AIG filed an amended complaint against former directors and officers Greenberg and Smith, alleging breach of fiduciary duty and indemnification. Also on June 13, 2007, the Special Committee filed a motion to terminate the litigation as to certain defendants, while taking no action as to others. Defendants Greenberg and Smith filed answers to AIG's complaint and brought third-party complaints against certain current and former AIG directors and officers, PwC and INS Regulatory Insurance Services, Inc. On September 28, 2007, AIG and the shareholder plaintiffs filed a combined amended complaint in which AIG continued to assert claims against defendants Greenberg and Smith and took no position as to the claims asserted by the shareholder plaintiffs in the remainder of the combined amended complaint. In that pleading, the shareholder plaintiffs are no longer pursuing claims against certain AIG officers and directors. On February 12, 2008, the Court granted AIG's motion to stay discovery pending the resolution of claims against AIG in the Consolidated 2004 Securities Litigation.
On April 11, 2008, the shareholder plaintiffs filed the First Amended Combined Complaint, which added claims against former AIG directors and officers Greenberg, Edward Matthews, and Thomas Tizzio for breach of fiduciary duty based on alleged bid-rigging in the municipal derivatives market. On June 13, 2008, certain defendants filed motions to dismiss the shareholder plaintiffs' portions of the complaint. On February 10, 2009, the Court denied the motions to dismiss filed by Greenberg, Matthews, and Tizzio; granted the motion to dismiss filed by PwC without prejudice; and granted the motion to dismiss filed by certain former employees of AIG without prejudice for lack of personal jurisdiction. On March 6, 2009, the Court granted an Order of Dismissal, Notice and Order of Voluntary Dismissal and Stipulation and Order of Dismissal to dismiss those individual defendants who were similarly situated to the individuals dismissed by the Court for lack of personal jurisdiction. On March 12, 2009, Defendant Greenberg filed his verified answer to AIG's complaint; cross-claims against Marsh, ACE, General Re, and Tizzio; and a third-party complaint against certain current and former AIG directors and officers, as well as INS Regulatory Insurance Services, Inc. Defendant Smith has also filed his answer to AIG's complaint, which was amended on July 9, 2009 to add cross-claims against Tizzio and third-party claims against certain current and former AIG directors and officers, as well as INS Regulatory Insurance Services, Inc. On June 17, 2009, the Court issued an opinion granting the motions to dismiss filed by General Re, Marsh, ACE, and Susan Rivera. On July 13, 2009 and July 17, 2009, the Court entered final judgments in favor of PwC, General Re, Marsh, ACE, and Susan Rivera. Shortly thereafter, the shareholder plaintiffs filed separate appeals: one addressing the dismissal of PwC, and the other addressing the dismissals of ACE, General Re, and Marsh.
On November 10, 2009, the Delaware Supreme Court granted AIG's motion to consolidate the appeal of its dismissal from the In re Marsh Derivative Litigation (see below, "Derivative Action Delaware Chancery Court (Marsh)") with the appeal of the dismissals of Marsh, General Re and ACE from the Delaware 2004/2005 Derivative Litigation. On February 22, 2010, the Court issued an order notifying the parties that the appeal would be heard by the Court en banc.
On February 5, 2010, a stipulation of dismissal was filed with the court dismissing AIG's direct claims against Greenberg and Smith, pursuant to the AIG/Greenberg MOU. On February 10, 2010, the shareholder plaintiffs informed the Court that they did not object to the dismissal of AIG's direct claims against Greenberg and Smith, but stated that the dismissal did not apply to their claim against Greenberg and Smith, and further stated that they intended to seek attorneys' fees for having initiated the claims against Greenberg and Smith. The Starr Parties have taken the position that the AIG/Greenberg MOU releases the derivative claims being pursued by the shareholder plaintiffs; AIG has taken the opposite position.
Derivative Action Supreme Court of New York. On February 11, 2009, shareholder plaintiffs in the Delaware 2004/2005 Derivative Litigation filed a derivative complaint in the Supreme Court of New York against the individual defendants who moved to dismiss the complaint in the Delaware 2004/2005 Derivative Litigation on personal jurisdiction grounds. The defendants include current and former officers and employees of AIG, Marsh,

and General Re; AIG is named as a nominal defendant. The complaint in this action contains similar allegations to those made in the Delaware 2004/2005 Derivative Litigation described above. Defendants filed motions to dismiss the complaint on May 1, 2009. The shareholder plaintiffs have reached an agreement staying discovery as well as any motions to dismiss the General Re and Marsh defendants pending final adjudication of any claims against those parties in the Delaware 2004/2005 Derivative Litigation. The individual defendants have also filed motions to dismiss.
Derivative Action Delaware Chancery Court (Marsh). AIG was also named as a defendant in a derivative action in the Delaware Chancery Court brought by shareholders of Marsh. On July 10, 2008, shareholder plaintiffs filed a second consolidated amended complaint, which contains claims against AIG for aiding and abetting a breach of fiduciary duty and contribution and indemnification in connection with alleged bid-rigging and steering practices in the commercial insurance market that are the subject of the Multi-District Litigation described below. On November 10, 2008, AIG and certain defendants filed motions to dismiss the shareholder plaintiffs' portions of the complaint. On June 17, 2009, the Court dismissed the claims against AIG, Greenberg, and Zachary Carter with prejudice and denied the motions to dismiss filed by the remaining defendants. The shareholder plaintiffs filed their notice of appeal on October 1, 2009. AIG moved to consolidate the appeal with the appeal of the dismissal of ACE, General Re, and Marsh in the Delaware 2004/2005 Derivative Litigation. The shareholders of Marsh moved to stay this appeal pending the decision in the appeal of the dismissal of ACE, General Re, and Marsh in the Delaware 2004/2005 Derivative Litigation. On November 10, 2009, the Delaware Supreme Court granted AIG's motion to consolidate the appeals for the purposes of oral argument and denied the Marsh shareholders' motion to stay. On February 22, 2010, the Court issued an order notifying the parties that the appeal would be heard by the Court en banc.
On December 22, 2009, the Marsh shareholder plaintiffs filed a stipulation of settlement, resolving their claims against the Marsh defendants.
The Multi-District Litigation. Commencing in 2004, policyholders brought multiple federal antitrust and RICO class actions in jurisdictions across the nation against insurers and brokers, including AIG and a number of its subsidiaries, alleging that the insurers and brokers engaged in a broad conspiracy to allocate customers, steer business, and rig bids. These actions, including 24 complaints filed in different federal Courts naming AIG or an AIG subsidiary as a defendant, were consolidated by the judicial panel on multi-district litigation and transferred to the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (District of New Jersey) for coordinated pretrial proceedings. The consolidated actions have proceeded in that Court in two parallel actions, In re Insurance Brokerage Antitrust Litigation (the Commercial Complaint) and In re Employee Benefits Insurance Brokerage Antitrust Litigation (the Employee Benefits Complaint, and, together with the Commercial Complaint, the Multi-district Litigation).
The plaintiffs in the Commercial Complaint are a group of corporations, individuals and public entities that contracted with the broker defendants for the provision of insurance brokerage services for a variety of insurance needs. The broker defendants are alleged to have placed insurance coverage on the plaintiffs' behalf with a number of insurance companies named as defendants, including AIG subsidiaries. The Commercial Complaint also named various brokers and other insurers as defendants (three of which have since settled). The Commercial Complaint alleges, among other things, that defendants engaged in a widespread conspiracy to allocate customers through bid-rigging and steering practices. Plaintiffs assert that the defendants violated the Sherman Antitrust Act, RICO, and the antitrust laws of 48 states and the District of Columbia, and are liable under common law breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment theories. Plaintiffs seek treble damages plus interest and attorneys' fees as a result of the alleged RICO and Sherman Antitrust Act violations.
The plaintiffs in the Employee Benefits Complaint are a group of individual employees and corporate and municipal employers alleging claims on behalf of two separate nationwide purported classes: an employee class and an employer class that acquired insurance products from the defendants from January 1, 1998 to December 31, 2004. The Employee Benefits Complaint names AIG, as well as various other brokers and insurers,
75
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
as defendants. The activities alleged in the Employee Benefits Complaint, with certain exceptions, track the allegations made in the Commercial Complaint.
The Court, in connection with the Commercial Complaint, granted (without leave to amend) defendants' motions to dismiss the federal antitrust and RICO claims on August 31, 2007 and September 28, 2007, respectively. The Court declined to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the state law claims in the Commercial Complaint and therefore dismissed it in its entirety. On January 14, 2008, the Court granted defendants' motion for summary judgment on the ERISA claims in the Employee Benefits Complaint and subsequently dismissed the remaining state law claims without prejudice, thereby dismissing the Employee Benefits Complaint in its entirety. On February 12, 2008, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit with respect to the dismissal of the Employee Benefits Complaint. Plaintiffs previously appealed the dismissal of the Commercial Complaint to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit on October 10, 2007.
A number of complaints making allegations similar to those in the Multi-district Litigation have been filed against AIG and other defendants in state and federal courts around the country. The defendants have thus far been successful in having the federal actions transferred to the District of New Jersey and consolidated into the Multi-district Litigation. These additional consolidated actions are still pending in the District of New Jersey, but are currently stayed. The AIG defendants have also sought to have state court actions making similar allegations stayed pending resolution of the Multi-district Litigation proceeding. These efforts have generally been successful, although discovery recently commenced in one case pending in Kansas state court. Discovery has been stayed in another case pending in Texas state court. In that case, the plaintiff filed an amended petition on July 13, 2009, and defendants filed special exceptions in connection with plaintiff's amended petition on August 14, 2009. AIG has settled several of the various federal and state actions alleging claims similar to those in the Multi-district Litigation, including state court actions pending in Florida and in New Jersey in which discovery had been allowed to proceed.
Workers' Compensation Premium Reporting. On May 24, 2007, the National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI), on behalf of the participating members of the National Workers' Compensation Reinsurance Pool (the NWCRP), filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against AIG with respect to the underpayment by AIG of its residual market assessments for workers' compensation insurance. The complaint alleged claims for violations of RICO, breach of contract, fraud and related state law claims arising out of AIG's alleged underpayment of these assessments between 1970 and the present and sought damages purportedly in excess of $1 billion. On August 6, 2007, the Court denied AIG's motion seeking to dismiss or stay the complaint or, in the alternative, to transfer to the Southern District of New York. On December 26, 2007, the Court denied AIG's motion to dismiss the complaint.
On March 17, 2008, AIG filed an amended answer, counterclaims and third-party claims against NCCI (in its capacity as attorney-in-fact for the NWCRP), the NWCRP, its board members, and certain of the other insurance companies that are members of the NWCRP alleging violations of RICO, as well as claims for conspiracy, fraud, and other state law claims. The counterclaim-defendants and third-party defendants filed motions to dismiss on June 9, 2008. On January 26, 2009, AIG filed a motion to dismiss all claims in the complaint for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. On February 23, 2009, the Court issued a decision and order sustaining AIG's counterclaims and sustaining, in part, AIG's third-party claims. The Court also dismissed certain of AIG's third-party claims without prejudice.
On April 13, 2009, third-party defendant Liberty Mutual filed third-party counterclaims against AIG, certain of its subsidiaries, and former AIG executives. On August 23, 2009, the Court granted AIG's motion to dismiss the NCCI complaint for lack of standing. On September 25, 2009, AIG filed its First Amended Complaint, reasserting its RICO claims against certain insurance companies that both underreported their workers' compensation premium and served on the NWCRP Board, and repleading its fraud and other state law claims. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the First Amended Complaint on October 30, 2009. On October 8, 2009, Liberty Mutual filed
76
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
an amended counterclaim against AIG. The amended counterclaim is substantially similar to the complaint initially filed by NCCI, but also seeks damages related to non-NWCRP states, guaranty funds, and special assessments, in addition to asserting claims for other violations of state law. The amended counterclaim also removes as defendants the former AIG executives. On October 30, 2009, AIG filed a motion to dismiss the Liberty amended counterclaim.
On April 1, 2009, Safeco Insurance Company of America and Ohio Casualty Insurance Company filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, on behalf of a purported class of all NWCRP participant members, against AIG and certain of its subsidiaries with respect to the underpayment by AIG of its residual market assessments for workers' compensation insurance. The complaint was styled as an "alternative complaint," should the Court grant AIG's motion to dismiss the NCCI lawsuit for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. The allegations in the class action complaint are substantially similar to those filed by the NWCRP, but the complaint names former AIG executives as defendants and asserts a RICO claim against those executives. On August 28, 2009, the class action plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, removing the AIG executives as defendants. On October 30, 2009, AIG filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On July 16, 2010, Safeco Insurance Company and Ohio Casualty Insurance Company filed their motion for class certification.
On July 1, 2010, the Court ruled on the pending motions to dismiss that were directed at all parties' claims. With respect to the underreporting NWCRP companies' and board members' motion to dismiss AIG's first amended complaint, the Court denied the motion to dismiss all counts except AIG's claim for unjust enrichment, which it found to be precluded by the surviving claims for breach of contract. With respect to NCCI and the NWCRP's motion to dismiss AIG's first amended complaint, the Court denied the NCCI and the NWCRP's motions to dismiss AIG's claims for an equitable accounting and an action on an open, mutual, and current account. With respect to AIG's motions to dismiss Liberty's counterclaims and the class action complaint, the Court denied both motions, except that it dismissed the class claim for promissory estoppel. On July 30, 2010 the NWCRP filed a motion for reconsideration of the Court's ruling denying its motion to dismiss AIG's claims for an equitable accounting and an action on an open, mutual, and current account.
Litigation Matters Relating to AIG's Insurance Operations
Caremark. AIG and certain of its subsidiaries have been named defendants in two putative class actions in state court in Alabama that arise out of the 1999 settlement of class and derivative litigation involving Caremark Rx, Inc. (Caremark). The plaintiffs in the second-filed action have intervened in the first-filed action, and the second-filed action has been dismissed. An excess policy issued by a subsidiary of AIG with respect to the 1999 litigation was expressly stated to be without limit of liability. In the current actions, plaintiffs allege that the judge approving the 1999 settlement was misled as to the extent of available insurance coverage and would not have approved the settlement had he known of the existence and/or unlimited nature of the excess policy. They further allege that AIG, its subsidiaries, and Caremark are liable for fraud and suppression for misrepresenting and/or concealing the nature and extent of coverage. The complaints filed by the plaintiffs and the intervenor-plaintiffs request compensatory damages for the 1999 class in the amount of $3.2 billion, plus punitive damages. AIG and its subsidiaries deny the allegations of fraud and suppression and have asserted that information concerning the excess policy was publicly disclosed months prior to the approval of the settlement. AIG and its subsidiaries further assert that the current claims are barred by the statute of limitations and that plaintiffs' assertions that the statute was tolled cannot stand against the public disclosure of the excess coverage. The plaintiffs and intervenor-plaintiffs, in turn, have asserted that the disclosure was insufficient to inform them of the nature of the coverage and did not start the running of the statute of limitations.
On December 1, 2008, the intervenor-plaintiffs filed an Amended Complaint in Intervention that purports to bring claims against all defendants for deceit and conspiracy to deceive and a claim against AIG and its subsidiaries for aiding and abetting Caremark's alleged deception. The defendants have moved to dismiss the Amended Complaint, and, in the alternative, for a more definite statement.

Superior National. On December 30, 2004, an arbitration panel issued its ruling in connection with a 1998 workers' compensation quota share reinsurance agreement under which Superior National Insurance Company, among others, was reinsured by The United States Life Insurance Company in the City of New York (USLIFE), a subsidiary of AIG Life Holdings (U.S.). In its 2-1 ruling, the arbitration panel refused to rescind the contract as requested by USLIFE. Instead, the panel reformed the contract to reduce USLIFE's participation by ten percent. Further, the arbitration ruling established a second phase of arbitration for USLIFE to present its challenges to certain cessions to the contract. In the second phase the arbitration panel issued two awards resolving the challenges in favor of Superior National, now in liquidation. On January 4, 2010, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the arbitration awards. On June 21, 2010, USLIFE satisfied the judgment of approximately $529 million. The judgment was for amounts billed through December 6, 2006, plus interest. USLIFE believes that the remaining reserves, after deduction for satisfaction of the judgment, as of June 30, 2010, should be adequate to fund unpaid claims.
Flight Equipment
At June 30, 2010, ILFC had committed to purchase 115 new aircraft deliverable from 2011 through 2019, at an estimated aggregate purchase price of $13.5 billion. ILFC will be required to find lessees for any aircraft acquired and to arrange financing for a substantial portion of the purchase price.
Included in the 115 new aircraft are 74 Boeing 787 aircraft (B787s), with the first aircraft currently scheduled to be delivered in July 2012. ILFC is in discussion with Boeing related to revisions to the delivery schedule and potential delay compensation and penalties for which ILFC may be eligible. ILFC has signed contracts for 29 of the 74 B787s on order. Under the terms of ILFC's B787 leases, the lessees may be entitled to share in any compensation which ILFC receives from Boeing for late delivery of the aircraft.
Other Commitments
On March 29, 2010, AIG's Compensation and Management Resources Committee approved AIG's 2010 Long Term Incentive Plan (2010 LTIP) and an additional component to AIG's 2009 Long Term Incentive Plan (2009 LTIP) for middle management employees throughout AIG. Under both plans, recipients were offered the opportunity to receive additional compensation in the form of cash and stock appreciation rights (SARs) if certain metrics are met. The ultimate value is contingent on the achievement of performance measures aligned to the participant's business unit over a two-year period and such value could range from zero to twice the target amount. Subsequent to the performance period, portions of the earned awards are subject to an additional time-vesting period of up to two years. The awards granted to participants based on their target amounts for the 2010 LTIP totaled approximately $380 million for the cash and SARs components, while the SARs component of the 2009 LTIP totaled approximately $90 million. AIG recognizes compensation expense over the vesting period for these plans.
In the normal course of business, AIG enters into commitments to invest in limited partnerships, private equities, hedge funds and mutual funds and to purchase and develop real estate in the U.S. and abroad. These commitments totaled $6.2 billion at June 30, 2010.

AIG is obligated, subject to certain conditions, to make any payment that is not promptly paid with respect to the benefits accrued by certain employees of AIG and its subsidiaries under the SICO Plans (as discussed in (c) below under "Benefits Provided by Starr International Company, Inc.").
Liability for unpaid claims and claims adjustment expense
Although AIG regularly reviews the adequacy of the established Liability for unpaid claims and claims adjustment expense, there can be no assurance that AIG's ultimate Liability for unpaid claims and claims adjustment expense will not develop adversely and materially exceed AIG's current Liability for unpaid claims and claims adjustment expense. Estimation of ultimate net claims, claims adjustment expenses and Liability for unpaid claims and claims adjustment expense is a complex process for long-tail casualty lines of business, which include excess and umbrella liability, directors and officers liability (D&O), professional liability, medical malpractice, workers' compensation, general liability, products liability and related classes, as well as for asbestos and environmental exposures. Generally, actual historical loss development factors are used to project future loss development. However, there can be no assurance that future loss development patterns will be the same as in the past. Moreover, any deviation in loss cost trends or in loss development factors might not be discernible for an extended period of time subsequent to the recording of the initial loss reserve estimates for any accident year. Thus, there is the potential for reserves with respect to a number of years to be significantly affected by changes in loss cost trends or loss development factors that were relied upon in setting the reserves. These changes in loss cost trends or loss development factors could be attributable to changes in inflation, in labor and material costs or in the judicial environment, or in other social or economic phenomena affecting claims.
Benefits Provided by Starr International Company, Inc.
SICO has provided a series of two-year Deferred Compensation Profit Participation Plans (SICO Plans) to certain AIG employees. The SICO Plans were created in 1975 when the voting shareholders and Board of Directors of SICO, a private holding company whose principal asset is AIG Common Stock, decided that a portion of the capital value of SICO should be used to provide an incentive plan for the current and succeeding managements of all American International companies, including AIG.
None of the costs of the various benefits provided under the SICO Plans has been paid by AIG, although AIG has recorded a charge to reported earnings for the deferred compensation amounts paid to AIG employees by SICO, with an offsetting amount credited to Additional paid-in capital reflecting amounts considered to be contributed by SICO. The SICO Plans provide that shares currently owned by SICO are set aside by SICO for the benefit of the participant and distributed upon retirement. The SICO Board of Directors currently may permit an early payout of units under certain circumstances. Prior to payout, the participant is not entitled to vote, dispose of or receive dividends with respect to such shares, and shares are subject to forfeiture under certain conditions, including but not limited to the participant's voluntary termination of employment with AIG prior to normal retirement age. Under the SICO Plans, SICO's Board of Directors may elect to pay a participant cash in lieu of shares of AIG Common Stock. Following notification from SICO to participants in the SICO Plans that it will settle specific future awards under the SICO Plans with shares rather than cash, AIG modified its accounting for the SICO Plans from variable to fixed measurement accounting. AIG gave effect to this change in settlement method beginning on December 9, 2005, the date of SICO's notice to participants in the SICO Plans.
Under the Starr International Company, Inc. Assurance Agreement, dated as of June 27, 2005 (SICO Assurance Agreement), AIG has agreed that, in the event that SICO does not promptly deliver the shares as required under the express terms of the SICO Plans to participants who were employees of AIG and its subsidiaries as of May 18, 2005, AIG will pay the benefits due under the SICO Plans. At June 30, 2010, the maximum number of shares of common stock that AIG could be required to deliver under the SICO Assurance Agreement was 295,944.

AIG has issued unconditional guarantees with respect to the prompt payment, when due, of all present and future payment obligations and liabilities of AIG Financial Products and certain of its subsidiaries arising from transactions entered into by such companies.
In connection with AIGFP's leasing business, AIGFP has issued, in a limited number of transactions, standby letters of credit or similar facilities to equity investors in an amount equal to the termination value owing to the equity investor by the lessee in the event of a lessee default (the equity termination value). The total amount outstanding at June 30, 2010 was $1.3 billion. In those transactions, AIGFP has agreed to pay such amount if the lessee fails to pay. The amount payable by AIGFP is usually, but not always, partially offset by amounts payable under other instruments typically equal to the accreted value of a deposit held by AIGFP. In the event AIGFP is required to make a payment to the equity investor, the lessee is unconditionally obligated to reimburse AIGFP. To the extent the equity investor is paid the equity termination value from the standby letter of credit and/or other sources, including payments by the lessee, AIGFP takes an assignment of the equity investor's rights under the lease of the underlying property. Because the obligations of the lessee under the lease transactions are generally economically defeased, lessee bankruptcy is the most likely circumstance in which AIGFP would be required to pay. AIGFP selected transactions in which it agreed to provide this product only in circumstances where lessee bankruptcy is considered remote or, in the case of certain municipal lessees, not permitted under current law.
Asset Dispositions
General
AIG is subject to financial guarantees and indemnity arrangements in connection with the completed sales of businesses pursuant to its asset disposition plan. The various arrangements may be triggered by, among other things, declines in asset values, the occurrence of specified business contingencies, the realization of contingent liabilities, developments in litigation, or breaches of representations, warranties or covenants provided by AIG. These arrangements are typically subject to various time limitations, defined by the contract or by operation of law, such as statutes of limitation. In some cases, the maximum potential obligation is subject to contractual limitations, while in other cases such limitations are not specified or are not applicable.
AIG is unable to develop a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential payout under certain of these arrangements. Overall, AIG believes that it is unlikely it will have to make any material payments related to completed sales under these arrangements, and no material liabilities related to these arrangements have been recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. See Note 1 herein for additional information on sales of businesses and asset dispositions.
ALICO Sale
Under the terms of the announced sale of ALICO, the purchase price must be adjusted based on conditions existing at closing and/or the occurrence of certain events including the maintenance of a minimum risk-based-capital ratio, the settlement of amounts due to or from AIG affiliates, and the level of earnings during the 12 months ended May 31, 2010. AIG expects the transaction to close in the fourth quarter of 2010 and, as of

American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
June 30, 2010, AIG does not expect the purchase price will be materially negatively adjusted as a result of the foregoing events or conditions.
AIG also agreed to provide MetLife with certain indemnifications upon completion of the sale, the most significant of which include:
In connection with the above, AIG agreed to place $3 billion of sales proceeds (consisting initially of MetLife securities to be received upon the completion of the sale) into an escrow arrangement that declines to zero over a 30-month period, with claims submitted related to the indemnifications reducing the amount that can be released. Because the transaction had not closed at June 30, 2010, no liabilities related to these indemnifications were recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
10. Total Equity and Earnings (Loss) Per Share
During the first six months of 2010, AIG drew approximately $2.2 billion under the Department of the Treasury Commitment and, as a result, the liquidation preference of the AIG Series F Preferred Stock increased to $7.543 billion in the aggregate.
As a result of AIG's failure to declare and pay dividends on Series E Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $5.00 per share (AIG Series E Preferred Stock), and AIG Series F Preferred Stock for four quarterly dividend payment periods, the United States Department of the Treasury, as the sole holder of the AIG Series E Preferred Stock and AIG Series F Preferred Stock, exercised its right and elected Ronald A. Rittenmeyer and Donald H. Layton (the Preferred Directors) to the Board of Directors of AIG (the Board) by written consent effective April 1, 2010. The Preferred Directors were re-elected by the United States Department of the Treasury, as the sole holder of the AIG Series E Preferred Stock and AIG Series F Preferred Stock, at AIG's 2010 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and will hold office until the next annual meeting (or special meeting called for the purpose of electing directors) or until all the dividends payable on all outstanding shares of the AIG Series E Preferred Stock and the AIG Series F Preferred Stock have been declared and paid in full for four consecutive quarters.
See Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of AIG's 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of the terms of AIG's outstanding Preferred Stock.

In connection with the ongoing execution of its orderly asset disposition plan, as well as plans to timely repay the FRBNY Credit Facility, on November 30, 2009, AIG transferred two of its wholly owned businesses, AIA and ALICO, to two newly-created special purpose vehicles (SPVs) in exchange for all the common and preferred interests of those SPVs. On December 1, 2009, AIG transferred the preferred interests in the SPVs to the FRBNY in consideration for a $25 billion reduction of the outstanding loan balance and of the maximum amount of credit available under the FRBNY Credit Facility and amended the terms of the Facility as discussed below.
The common interests, which were retained by AIG, entitle AIG to 100 percent of the voting power of the SPVs. The voting power allows AIG to elect the boards of managers of the SPVs, who oversee the management and operation of the SPVs. Primarily due to the substantive participation rights of the preferred interests, the SPVs were determined to be variable interest entities. As the primary beneficiary of the SPVs, AIG consolidates the SPVs.
The preferred interests are redeemable at the option of AIG and are transferable at the FRBNY's discretion. If the FRBNY obtains control of the SPVs, through a default by AIG under the FRBNY Credit Agreement or otherwise, the agreements governing the transactions explicitly prohibit redemption of the preferred interests. In the event the board of managers of either SPV initiates a public offering, liquidation or winding up or a voluntary sale of the SPV, the proceeds must be distributed to the preferred interests until the preferred interests' redemption value has been paid. The redemption value of the preferred interests is the liquidation preference, which includes any undistributed preferred returns through the redemption date, and the amount of distributions that the preferred interests would receive in the event of a 100 percent distribution to all the common and preferred interest holders at the redemption date as described below.
In 2010, AIG recorded a net decrease due to deconsolidation of noncontrolling interests primarily related to the sale of AIG's investment advisory and third party asset management business. See Note 3 herein for additional information. In 2009, AIG recorded a net decrease due to the deconsolidation of Transatlantic following the sale

by AIG of 29.9 million shares of Transatlantic common stock as well as the deconsolidation of certain investment entities within the Institutional Asset Management business.
See Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of AIG's 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion of the terms of the junior and senior non-voting, callable preferred interests.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share (EPS)
Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted to reflect all stock dividends and stock splits. Diluted earnings per share is based on those shares used in basic EPS plus shares that would have been outstanding assuming issuance of common shares for all dilutive potential common shares outstanding, adjusted to reflect all stock dividends and stock splits. Basic earnings (loss) per share is not affected by outstanding stock purchase contracts. Diluted earnings per share is determined considering the potential dilution from outstanding stock purchase contracts using the treasury stock method and will not be affected by outstanding stock purchase contracts until the applicable market value per share exceeds $912.
In connection with the issuance of the AIG Series C Perpetual, Convertible, Participating Preferred Stock, par value $5.00 per share (AIG Series C Preferred Stock), AIG began applying the two-class method for calculating EPS. The two-class method is an earnings allocation method for computing EPS when a company's capital structure includes either two or more classes of common stock or common stock and participating securities. This method determines EPS based on dividends declared on common stock and participating securities (i.e., distributed earnings) as well as participation rights of participating securities in any undistributed earnings.

Since September 2008, AIG has been working to execute an orderly disposition plan of non-core businesses and assets, protect and enhance the value of its key businesses, and position itself for the future. AIG continually reassesses this plan to maximize value while maintaining flexibility in its liquidity and capital. Successful execution of the restructuring plan involves significant separation activities. Major restructuring activities include the separation of shared services, corporate functions, infrastructure and assets among business units.

American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
In connection with its restructuring and separation activities, AIG has incurred significant expenses, including legal, banking, accounting, consulting and other professional fees. In addition, AIG is contractually obligated to reimburse or advance certain professional fees and other expenses incurred by the FRBNY and the trustees of the Trust.
Based on AIG's announced plans, AIG has made estimates of these expenses, although for some restructuring and separation activities estimates cannot be reasonably made due to the evolving nature of the plans and the uncertain timing of the transactions involved. Future reimbursement or advancement payments to the FRBNY and the trustees cannot reasonably be estimated by AIG. Even for those expenses that have been estimated, actual expenses will vary depending on the identity of the ultimate purchasers of the divested entities or counterparties to transactions, the transactions and activities that ultimately are consummated or undertaken, and the ultimate time period over which these activities occur.
Restructuring and separation expenses that have been cumulatively incurred or can be reasonably expected to be incurred at June 30, 2010, are set forth in the table below, and exclude expenses that could not be reasonably estimated at June 30, 2010, as well as expenses (principally professional fees) that are expected to be capitalized. With respect to the FRBNY and the trustees of the Trust, these amounts include only actual reimbursement and advancement payments made through June 30, 2010.

(a) According to the Schedule 13G as amended through July 12, 2010, filed by Fairholme Capital Management, L.L.C. (FCM), Mr. Bruce Berkowitz and Fairholme Funds, Inc., through various investment vehicles and accounts it manages, owns in the aggregate 32,789,000 shares of AIG Common Stock. Of these shares, 29,282,400 shares are owned by The Fairholme Fund, a series of Fairholme Funds, Inc. Because Mr. Bruce Berkowitz, in his capacity as the Managing Member of FCM or as President of Fairholme Funds, Inc., has voting or dispositive power over all shares beneficially owned by FCM, he is deemed to have beneficial ownership of all such shares. Based on the shares of AIG Common Stock outstanding at July 30, 2010, these ownership interests would represent approximately 24.3 percent of AIG Common Stock for FCM and Mr. Berkowitz and 21.7 percent of AIG Common Stock for Fairholme Funds, Inc.
According to the Schedule 13D as amended through March 19, 2010, filed by Maurice R. Greenberg, Edward E. Matthews, Starr International Company, Inc. (Starr International), C.V. Starr & Co. (CV Starr), Inc. and Universal Foundation, Inc. (Universal Foundation) (collectively, the Starr Group), the Starr Group could be deemed to beneficially own 14,105,606 shares of AIG Common Stock at that date. Each of the Maurice R. and Corinne P. Greenberg Family Foundation, Inc., the Maurice R. and Corinne P. Greenberg Joint Tenancy, LLC and C.V. Starr & Co., Inc. Trust no longer has the power to vote or direct the disposition of any shares of AIG Common Stock. Based on the shares of AIG Common Stock outstanding at July 30, 2010, this ownership would represent approximately 10.4 percent of the common stock of AIG. Although these reporting persons may have made filings under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), reporting sales of shares of common stock, no amendment to the Schedule 13D has been filed to report a change in ownership subsequent to March 19, 2010.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
As a result of the Fuji acquisition, AIG assumed the obligations related to the Fuji plans. As of March 31, 2010, Fuji's aggregate projected benefit obligation and plan assets were $239 million and $297 million, respectively. See Note 4 herein for more information on the Fuji acquisition.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, AIG contributed $82 million to its U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans and expects to contribute an additional $52 million for the remainder of 2010. These estimates are subject to change since contribution decisions are affected by various factors, including AIG's liquidity, asset dispositions, market performance and management discretion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010, the effective tax rates on pre-tax income from continuing operations were 19.4 percent and (3.3) percent, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 attributable to continuing operations was primarily related to an increase in the valuation allowance of $539 million as described below, partially offset by tax exempt interest of $152 million and the effect of foreign operations of $501 million. The effective tax rate for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 was negative because AIG recorded a net tax benefit on pre-tax income. The benefit reflected in the effective tax rate attributable to continuing operations was primarily related to the effects of tax exempt interest income of $307 million, the effect of foreign operations of $467 million, the excess amount of the Fuji bargain purchase gain for financial reporting over the tax basis which is essentially permanent in duration of $142 million, and a reduction of $211 million in the valuation allowance as described below.
For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009, the effective tax rates on pre-tax income (loss) from continuing operations were (242.7) percent and 20.9 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009 was negative because AIG recorded a tax benefit on pre-tax income. The benefit reflected in the effective tax rate attributable to continuing operations for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009 was primarily related to a decrease in the valuation allowance of $1.6 billion, partially offset by deferred tax expense of $760 million mainly attributable to the change in the estimated U.S. tax liability with respect to the potential sale of subsidiaries and an increase of $382 million in the reserve for uncertain tax positions. The benefit reflected in the effective tax rate attributable to continuing operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009 was primarily related to tax exempt interest of $366 million, partially offset by changes in the estimated U.S. tax liability with respect to the potential sale of subsidiaries of $287 million and an increase of $406 million in the reserve for uncertain tax positions.

Assessment of Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Allowances
AIG evaluates the recoverability of the deferred tax asset and establishes a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce the deferred tax asset to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized (a likelihood of more than 50 percent). Significant judgment is required to determine whether a valuation allowance is necessary and the amount of such valuation allowance, if appropriate.
When assessing the realization of its deferred tax asset at June 30, 2010, AIG considered all available evidence, including:
89
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
Estimates of future gains generated from specific transactions and tax planning strategies discussed below could change in the near term, perhaps materially, which may require AIG to adjust its valuation allowance. Such adjustment, either positive or negative, could be material to AIG's consolidated financial condition or its results of operations for an individual reporting period.
At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, AIG's U.S. consolidated income tax group had net deferred tax assets after valuation allowances of $7.1 billion and $8.6 billion, respectively. Realization of AIG's net deferred tax asset depends upon its ability to generate gains on asset sales and the divestitures of AIA and ALICO, and tax planning strategies that would be implemented, if necessary, to protect against the loss of the deferred tax asset, but does not depend on projected future operating income of the U.S. consolidated income tax group. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, AIG's U.S. consolidated income tax group had deferred tax asset valuation allowances of $20.8 billion and $20.4 billion, respectively.
For the six months ended June 30, 2010, AIG recorded a reduction in the U.S. consolidated income tax group deferred tax asset valuation allowances of $211 million primarily attributable to a reduction in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $910 million related to an increase in the expected gains from the planned divestitures of AIA and ALICO, a reduction in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $707 million related to the total other comprehensive income movement primarily attributable to unrealized appreciation in the available for sale securities portfolio, an increase in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $855 million related to the estimated U.S. tax liability with respect to the investment in subsidiaries associated with the transfer of goodwill to ALICO, and an increase in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $589 million related to a reduction in tax planning strategies.
When estimating the fair values of the subsidiaries to be divested, AIG considered, among other information, valuations prepared for various purposes. During the first quarter of 2010, AIG increased its estimate of the AIA and ALICO expected divestiture proceeds following an updated assessment of the range of valuation estimates that considered, among other factors, the expected proceeds from the sales to Prudential plc and MetLife Inc. announced in that quarter, which gave rise to the $910 million reduction in the valuation allowance discussed above. As discussed in Note 1 herein, on June 2, 2010, AIG and Prudential plc terminated the AIA transaction. Because AIG is continuing with its plans to divest AIA, this termination did not affect the amount of deferred tax asset expected to be realized in connection with the planned divestiture of AIA. This determination was based on an updated assessment of the expected gain and considered a range of possible outcomes associated with alternative divestiture strategies, including an initial public offering.
The significant unrealized appreciation in the available for sale securities portfolio partially offset by activity in other comprehensive income reduced the net deferred tax asset before valuation allowances, allowing a reduction of $707 million of valuation allowance.
During the six months ended June 30, 2010, AIG changed its planned securitization of an insurance portfolio because more attractive opportunities to provide liquidity are being pursued by AIG. This planned securitization previously supported $589 million of the U.S. consolidated income tax group's deferred tax assets.
The entire reduction in valuation allowance of $211 million was allocated to continuing operations. This allocation was based on the primacy of continuing operations. The tax effects of the expected gain from the AIA planned divestiture were sufficient to allocate the reduction in the U.S. consolidated income tax group's valuation allowance of $211 million to continuing operations, and therefore, there was no remaining reduction in valuation allowance allocable to other components of income.
For the three months ended June 30, 2010, AIG recorded an increase in the U.S. consolidated income tax group deferred tax asset valuation allowances of $721 million, of which $539 million was allocated to continuing operations. The $721 million change was primarily attributable to an increase in the deferred tax asset valuation

allowance of $855 million related to the estimated U.S. tax liability with respect to the investment in subsidiaries associated with the transfer of goodwill to ALICO, an increase in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $589 million related to a reduction in tax planning strategies and a reduction in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $636 million related to total other comprehensive income movement primarily attributable to unrealized appreciation in the available for sale securities portfolio.
At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, AIG had net deferred tax liabilities of $1.6 billion and $2.7 billion, respectively, related to foreign subsidiaries, state and local tax jurisdictions, and certain domestic subsidiaries that file separate tax returns. The change is primarily due to deferred tax liabilities of $1.8 billion reclassified to Liabilities held for sale, offset by $0.7 billion of current year activity.
At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, AIG had deferred tax asset valuation allowances of $2.7 billion and $3.3 billion, respectively, related to foreign subsidiaries, state and local tax jurisdictions, and certain domestic subsidiaries that file separate tax returns. The change is primarily due to a deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $0.8 billion reclassified to Assets held for sale partially offset by an additional deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $0.6 billion associated with the purchase of additional shares of Fuji, recorded through purchase accounting.
At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, AIG had deferred tax assets related to stock compensation of $207 million and $178 million, respectively. Due to AIG's current stock price, these deferred tax assets may not be realizable in the future. The accounting guidance for share based payments precludes AIG from recognizing an impairment charge on this asset until the related stock awards are exercised, vest or expire. Any charge associated with the deferred tax asset, net of valuation allowance, is reported in Additional paid-in capital until the pool of previously recognized tax benefits recorded in Additional paid-in capital is reduced to zero. Income tax expense would be recognized for any additional charge. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the pool of previously recognized tax benefits recorded in Additional paid-in capital was $120.3 million and $142.6 million, respectively.
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, AIG's unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, were $4.7 billion and $4.8 billion, respectively. At both June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, AIG's unrecognized tax benefits included $1.4 billion related to tax positions the disallowance of which would not affect the effective tax rate as they relate to such factors as the timing, rather than the permissibility, of the deduction. Accordingly, at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate were $3.3 billion and $3.4 billion, respectively.
Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized in income tax expense. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, AIG had accrued $829 million and $835 million, respectively, for the payment of interest (net of the federal benefit) and penalties. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, AIG recognized $78 million and $148 million, respectively, of interest (net of federal benefit) and penalties in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss).
AIG regularly evaluates adjustments proposed by taxing authorities. At June 30, 2010, such proposed adjustments would not have resulted in a material change to AIG's consolidated financial condition, although it is possible that the effect could be material to AIG's consolidated results of operations for an individual reporting period. Although it is reasonably possible that a change in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits may occur within the next twelve months, at this time it is not possible to estimate the range of the change due to the uncertainty of the potential outcomes.

During 2009, AIG made certain revisions to the AIGLH Condensed Statement of Cash Flows, primarily relating to revisions for the presentation of capital contributions by AIGLH. Accordingly, AIG revised the previous period presented to conform to the revised presentation. There was no effect on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows or ending cash balances.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is designed to provide the reader a narrative with respect to American International Group, Inc.'s (AIG's) operations, financial condition and liquidity and certain other significant matters.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other publicly available documents may include, and AIG's officers and representatives may from time to time make, projections and statements which may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These projections and statements are not historical facts but instead represent only AIG's belief regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside AIG's control. These projections and statements may address, among other things:
98
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
It is possible that AIG's actual results and financial condition will differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated results and financial condition indicated in these projections and statements. Factors that could cause AIG's actual results to differ, possibly materially, from those in the specific projections and statements include:
AIG is not under any obligation (and expressly disclaims any obligation) to update or alter any projection or other statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Throughout this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, AIG presents its operations in the way it believes will be most meaningful, as well as most transparent. Certain of the measurements used by AIG management are "non-GAAP financial measures" under SEC rules and regulations. Underwriting profit (loss) is utilized to report results for AIG's General Insurance operations and pre-tax income (loss) before net realized capital gains (losses) is utilized to report results for AIG's life insurance and retirement services operations as these measures enhance the understanding of the underlying profitability of the ongoing operations of these businesses and allow for more meaningful comparisons with AIG's insurance competitors.
AIG has also incorporated into this discussion a number of cross-references to additional information included throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K to assist readers seeking additional information related to a particular subject.
AIG reports the results of its operations through four reportable segments: General Insurance, Domestic Life Insurance & Retirement Services, Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services, and Financial Services.
99
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Significant Events AIA Transaction, this segment includes the results of American International Assurance, Limited (AIA).
AIG is focused on the following priorities for 2010:
AIG's income from continuing operations before income taxes amounted to $1.6 billion in the second quarter of 2010, significantly higher than the $171 million reported in the same period of 2009. These results reflected the following:
This improvement was partially offset by a securities litigation charge of $500 million recorded during the second quarter of 2010 compared to a charge of $225 million in the same period of 2009.
During the second quarter of 2010, Chartis completed the accounting for the Fuji Fire & Marine Insurance Company Limited (Fuji) acquisition and retrospectively adjusted the provisional amounts initially recorded, which resulted in a bargain purchase gain of $406 million. The bargain purchase gain is included in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and excluded from the three months ended June 30, 2010. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
AIG recorded a net loss from discontinued operations of $3.4 billion during the second quarter of 2010. These results included the impairment of $3.3 billion of goodwill that had been allocated to ALICO as a consequence of ALICO's removal from the Japan and Other operating segment. See Critical Accounting Estimates Goodwill impairment for further discussion.

American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
The following discussion supplements and updates the Business Outlook contained in AIG's 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2010.
On March 31, 2010, AIG, through a Chartis International subsidiary, purchased additional voting shares in Fuji, a publicly traded Japanese insurance company with general insurance and some life operations. Fuji's financial information is reported on a one-quarter lag. As a result, Fuji's results will be consolidated beginning in the third quarter of 2010, and will be reported in the Foreign General Insurance operating segment. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for pro forma results and additional information about the terms of the acquisition.
On April 20, 2010, an explosion on the Deepwater Horizon offshore drilling rig, operating in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Louisiana, resulted in a fire that led to the sinking of the rig and subsequent oil spill. AIG's net exposure to property loss on this event was approximately $23 million; this has been paid. AIG continues to monitor the casualty exposure to Deepwater Horizon and believes that carried loss reserves at June 30, 2010 are adequate to cover estimated losses attributable to this event. However, AIG's claims estimates may change over time, as the forensic investigation is incomplete, the cleanup is incomplete, and the litigation has only just begun.
There may also be other policyholders involved as the matter evolves. The types of claims may include, but not be limited to, cleanup costs, both directly incurred and those for which reimbursement to the government may be required; natural resource damages, including damages to the various fisheries impacted by the spill; property damage to private property; business interruption to Gulf Coast businesses; the bodily injury and wrongful death claims of the workers on the rig; claims for the destruction of the rig itself and various class actions brought by Gulf Coast residents on various theories of liability. In addition, it is uncertain how the $20 billion cleanup fund established by BP may affect claims under Chartis' policies, as injured parties may seek compensation from the fund rather than through their own or others' insurance policies.

AIG's Domestic Life Insurance & Retirement Services operations utilize internal and third-party reinsurance relationships to manage insurance risks and to facilitate capital management strategies. Pools of highly-rated third party reinsurers are utilized to manage net amounts at risk in excess of retention limits. AIG's Domestic Life Insurance companies also cede excess, non-economic reserves carried on a statutory-basis only on certain term and universal life insurance policies and certain fixed annuities to an offshore affiliate.
AIG generally obtains letters of credit in order to obtain statutory recognition of its intercompany reinsurance transactions. For this purpose, AIG has a $2.5 billion syndicated letter of credit facility outstanding at June 30, 2010, all of which relates to intercompany life reinsurance transactions. AIG has also obtained approximately $2.3 billion of letters of credit on a bilateral basis all of which relates to intercompany life reinsurance transactions. All of these letters of credit are due to mature on December 31, 2015.
The fees paid to maintain these bilateral letters of credit are generally based on AIG's long-term debt ratings. Under the terms of the bilateral letter of credit, the issuing bank has the right to base its fees on AIG's credit default swap pricing. On June 30, 2010, AIG received notification of the bank's intent to do so. This change will increase the fees for maintaining this letter of credit from $16 million annually to approximately $87 million, based on credit default swap pricing levels.
The improvement in UGC's results is primarily the result of declining levels of newly reported delinquencies in the first-lien, second-lien and international products, higher cure rates on existing first-lien and international delinquent loans, the effect of stop loss limits on certain second-lien policies, increased rescission activity on
101
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
domestic first-lien and second-lien claims and increased efforts to modify payment plans for currently delinquent loans. If these trends persist, UGC's financial results may continue to show improvement in future quarters. However, there remains considerable uncertainty about the longer term outlook for the housing market, U.S. unemployment rates, the impact of future foreclosures on domestic home prices, loan modification programs, the elimination of tax credits for first-time homebuyers and mortgage insurance rescission rates and the effects, if any, these factors will have on UGC's financial results.
During the second quarter of 2010, AIG continued to make progress winding down AIGFP's derivatives portfolio. At June 30, 2010, the portfolio was $602.4 billion (including $19.1 billion of intercompany derivatives), of which $89.5 billion were super senior credit default swap contracts. AIG expects to continue to reduce the size of AIGFP's derivatives portfolio through the remainder of the year. If the wind-down continues as anticipated, AIG expects that late in 2010 or early in 2011 the remaining AIGFP derivatives portfolio will consist of transactions AIG believes will be of low complexity or of low risk or not economically feasible to unwind based on a cost versus benefit analysis. During the latter stages of the wind-down, AIG expects to assume direct management of the investments and debt obligations of AIGFP, at which time the performance of those assets and liabilities will no longer be reported as part of Capital Markets. However, AIG anticipates that the remaining derivatives business will continue to be reported as Capital Markets.
The FRBNY has been considering whether prior payments made by AIG to repay the FRBNY Credit Facility from asset sales should be treated as mandatory prepayments that reduce the amount available under the FRBNY Credit Facility. If the FRBNY takes this position, at June 30, 2010, this would reduce the amount available to be borrowed under the FRBNY Credit Facility by approximately $3.6 billion. Such reduction in the FRBNY Credit Facility would trigger accelerated amortization of the prepaid commitment fee asset of approximately $600 million.
As of March 7, 2010, AIG and ALICO Holdings LLC, a special purpose vehicle formed by AIG (ALICO Holdings) entered into a definitive agreement (the ALICO Stock Purchase Agreement) with MetLife for the sale of ALICO by ALICO Holdings to MetLife, and the sale of Delaware American Life Insurance Company by AIG to MetLife, for approximately $15.5 billion, consisting of $6.8 billion in cash and the remainder in equity securities of MetLife, subject to closing adjustments.
The cash portion of the proceeds from this sale will be paid to the FRBNY to reduce the liquidation preference of a portion of the preferred interests owned by the FRBNY in ALICO Holdings (together with the preferred interests owned by the FRBNY in AIA Holdings, the Preferred Interests). Upon the closing of this sale to MetLife, ALICO Holdings will receive and pay to the FRBNY the cash consideration and will hold the remainder of the transaction consideration, consisting of 78,239,712 shares of MetLife common stock, 6,857,000 shares of newly issued participating preferred stock convertible into 68,570,000 shares of common stock upon the approval of MetLife shareholders, and 40,000,000 equity units of MetLife with an aggregate stated value of $3 billion. AIG intends to monetize these MetLife securities over time, subject to market conditions, following the lapse of agreed-upon minimum holding periods. Approximately $3 billion in MetLife securities will be held in escrow to support indemnity claims which will wind-down over a 30-month period. Unless otherwise agreed with the FRBNY, net cash proceeds from the monetization of these securities will be used to reduce the liquidation preference of the Preferred Interests owned by the FRBNY in ALICO Holdings and thereafter to repay any outstanding debt under the FRBNY Credit Facility.
102
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
In the case of the sale of ALICO, the value of the securities consideration is subject to fluctuation from the date of signing of the ALICO Stock Purchase Agreement, through closing of sale and the ultimate monetization by AIG of the MetLife securities. These fluctuations will be influenced by market prices of MetLife securities generally, and the market prices of MetLife common stock in particular, which will rise and fall in response to various factors beyond the control of AIG, including the business and financial performance of MetLife. AIG is subject in each case to agreed-upon minimum holding periods that also restrict AIG's ability to enter into hedging transactions that might protect AIG against fluctuations in the value of the securities consideration. These minimum holding periods and hedging restrictions cannot be altered without the consent of MetLife, so AIG will bear the risk of these market price fluctuations during the applicable holding periods. The amount of any gain or loss recognized by AIG upon each sale will depend upon the fair value of the securities consideration received as of closing and the proceeds received by AIG from the monetization of the securities. This may also result in AIG realizing ultimate cash proceeds from the monetization of the securities consideration that is substantially less than what might be expected from the value of such consideration as of the date of signing of the purchase agreement. During the holding period, AIG will carry these securities as available-for-sale investments, with changes in the fair value of the securities recorded to Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
On June 1, 2010, Prudential proposed revised terms to acquire AIA. AIG's Board of Directors declined the proposal. On June 2, 2010, AIG and Prudential terminated the transaction. As a result, AIG concluded that it is no longer probable that it will close a sale of AIA within twelve months. Accordingly, AIA is no longer being presented as held for sale or as a discontinued operation in the Consolidated Financial Statements. AIA was presented as a discontinued operation in AIG's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. Accordingly, AIA's results of operations are included in the Asia operating segment within the Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services reportable segment and comprise the majority of that operating segment.
In accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement, Prudential paid AIG a termination fee of $228 million, which was included in Net loss (gain) on sale of divested businesses in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss).
During the first six months of 2010, ILFC and AGF made substantial progress in addressing their liquidity needs.
During the first six months of 2010, ILFC significantly increased its liquidity position through a combination of new secured and unsecured debt issuances of approximately $4.0 billion and an extension of the maturity date of $2.16 billion of its $2.5 billion revolving credit facility from October 2011 to October 2012. Availability of $501 million of the approximately $4.0 billion of debt issuances and the extension of $2.16 billion of the revolving credit facility are subject to the satisfaction of certain collateralization milestones. In addition, during the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, ILFC agreed to sell 61 aircraft to third parties, of which 56 aircraft, with an aggregate book value of approximately $2.6 billion, met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. The aircraft classified as held for sale are expected to generate approximately $2.2 billion in gross proceeds during 2010. During the second quarter of 2010, three of the 61 aircraft were sold, of which one had been classified as held for sale. At June 30, 2010, 55 aircraft were recorded in Assets held for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
During the first six months of 2010, AGF received cash proceeds of more than $500 million from a $1.0 billion asset securitization and executed and drew down fully a $3.0 billion five-year secured term loan. AGF used a portion of the proceeds from these transactions, cash on hand and proceeds from AIG's repayment of two demand promissory notes to repay all of its outstanding obligations under its $2.45 billion one-year term loans and its $2.125 billion five-year revolving credit facility (both of which were due in July 2010). See Capital Resources and Liquidity Liquidity Financial Services for further discussion.

Sale of Interest in Transatlantic
On March 15, 2010, AIG closed a secondary public offering of 8,466,693 shares of Transatlantic Holdings, Inc. (Transatlantic) common stock owned by American Home Assurance Company, a subsidiary of AIG, for aggregate gross proceeds of $452 million.
Consideration of AIG's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, management has assessed whether AIG has the ability to continue as a going concern. In making this assessment, AIG has considered:
In considering these items, management made significant judgments and estimates with respect to the potentially adverse financial and liquidity effects of AIG's risks and uncertainties. Management also assessed other items and risks arising in AIG's businesses and made reasonable judgments and estimates with respect thereto. After consideration, management believes that it will have adequate liquidity to finance and operate AIG's businesses and continue as a going concern for at least the next twelve months.
It is possible that the actual outcome of one or more of management's plans could be materially different or that one or more of management's significant judgments or estimates about the potential effects of the risks and uncertainties could prove to be materially incorrect. If one or more of these possible outcomes is realized and third party financing is not available, AIG may need additional U.S. government support to meet its obligations as they come due. Under these adverse assumptions, if additional support is not available in such circumstances, there could exist substantial doubt about AIG's ability to operate as a going concern.
See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion regarding going concern considerations.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
At June 30, 2010, remaining amounts available under the FRBNY Credit Facility and the Department of the Treasury Commitment were $13.3 billion and $22.3 billion, respectively, compared to $17.1 billion and $24.5 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2009. Voluntary repayments have reduced net borrowings under the FRBNY Credit Facility by approximately $1.2 billion from June 30, 2010 to July 28, 2010.
AIG manages liquidity at both the parent and subsidiary levels. AIG believes that it has sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations for at least the next twelve months.
104
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
AIG expects that dividends, distributions, and other payments from subsidiaries will support the parent's liquidity needs; the FRBNY Credit Facility is also expected to continue to be a source of liquidity, although going forward, AIG expects to reduce its reliance on it. In addition, the Department of the Treasury Commitment may also be used as a source of funding, primarily to support the capital needs of AIG's insurance company subsidiaries. AIG expects the parent's primary uses of available cash will be debt service and subsidiary funding. Unless otherwise agreed with the FRBNY, net proceeds from the sales of operations and assets are expected to be used to pay the Preferred Interests and to repay any outstanding debt under the FRBNY Credit Facility, after taking into account taxes, transaction expenses and capital required to be retained for regulatory or ratings purposes.
AIG expects that its subsidiaries will be able to continue to meet their obligations as they come due for at least the next twelve months through cash flows from operations and, to the extent necessary, maturing investments and asset sales as well as potential debt issuances.
See further discussion regarding AIG's liquidity considerations in Liquidity of Parent and Subsidiaries.

Net cash provided by operating activities was positive for both the first six months of 2010 and 2009, principally due to continued positive cash flows from AIG's life insurance subsidiaries.
Insurance companies generally receive most premiums in advance of the payment of claims or policy benefits, but the ability of general insurance operations to generate positive cash flow is affected by operating expenses, the frequency and severity of losses under its insurance policies, as well as by policy retention rates. Cash provided by General Insurance operations was $729 million for the first six months of 2010 compared to $652 million in the same period in 2009 as a reduction in claims paid was partially offset by declines in premiums collected, arising primarily from a decrease in domestic production. Catastrophic events and significant casualty losses, the timing and effect of which are inherently unpredictable, reduce operating cash flow for AIG's General Insurance operations. Cash provided by AIG's life insurance subsidiaries, including entities presented as discontinued operations, was $6.6 billion for the first six months of 2010 compared to $5.5 billion in the same period in 2009 as growth in international markets was partially offset by a decrease in cash flows from domestic operations. Cash flows provided from Financial Services were $2.7 billion and $1.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, primarily due to the wind-down of AIGFP.
The AIGFP wind-down and other segment developments affecting net income described above are further discussed in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Accrued compounding interest and fees (reflected as non-cash expenses) were paid-in-kind in both periods under the provisions of the FRBNY Credit Facility and, accordingly, did not reduce operating cash flow in either period. Debt under the FRBNY Credit Facility includes total accrued compounding interest and fees of $6.0 billion at June 30, 2010, the payment of which will be reflected as a reduction in operating cash flows in the period that the accrued compounding interest and fees for the FRBNY Credit Facility are paid.
105
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Net cash used in investing activities in the first six months of 2010 primarily resulted from net purchases of fixed maturity securities and short-term investments, due to AIG's ability to invest cash generated from operating activities, and the redeployment of liquidity that had been accumulated by the insurance companies in the 2008 and 2009 time frame. In the first six months of 2009, Net cash provided by investing activities resulted from the net proceeds from the sale and maturity of investments.
Net cash used in financing activities was significantly lower in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009, primarily as a result of declines in policyholder contract withdrawals, reflecting improved conditions for the life insurance and retirement services businesses, as well as the issuances of long-term debt by ILFC, which is discussed in Liquidity of Parent and Subsidiaries Financial Services ILFC.

AIG's Strategy for Stabilization and Repayment of its Obligations as They Come Due
Future Cash Requirements
AIG expects that the repayment of future debt maturities (including the FRBNY Credit Facility) and the payment of the preferred returns and liquidation preference on the Preferred Interests will be its primary uses of available cash. Unless otherwise agreed with the FRBNY, the net proceeds from the cash consideration and the monetization of the securities consideration from the sale of ALICO will first be used to pay the Preferred Interests, and then to repay the FRBNY Credit Facility.

operations, potential debt issuances and aircraft sales. Therefore, while AIG has acknowledged its intent to support ILFC through February 28, 2011, at the current time AIG believes that any further extension of such support will not be necessary.
Sales of Other Businesses
From September 2008 through July 28, 2010, AIG entered into agreements to sell or completed the sale of operations and assets that generated or are expected to generate approximately $23.1 billion in aggregate net proceeds, including the MetLife securities discussed above. Of this amount, $17.3 billion in aggregate net proceeds represents amounts not yet collected on various transactions, the largest of which are the ALICO, referred to above, and Nan Shan transactions. Unless a waiver is obtained from the FRBNY, net proceeds collected (or monetized, in the case of the MetLife securities) by AIG are generally required to be applied toward the repayment of the FRBNY Credit Facility as mandatory prepayments, except for net cash proceeds on the ALICO sale which would first be used to reduce the liquidation preference of the preferred interests owned by the FRBNY in ALICO holdings, which was approximately $9.2 billion, including accrued return, as of June 30, 2010,
108
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
and thereafter to repay any outstanding debt under the FRBNY Credit Facility. Through July 28, 2010, $1.4 billion has been paid to the FRBNY under the FRBNY Credit Facility as mandatory prepayments. AIG has also made payments of approximately $3.6 billion to the FRBNY that could be determined to be mandatory prepayments in the future. Proceeds from sales of assets of AIG Financial Products Corp. and AIG Trading Group, Inc. (collectively, AIGFP) are excluded from these amounts because the FRBNY waived the requirement that the proceeds from these specific sales be applied as mandatory prepayments. Gains and losses recorded in connection with the dispositions of businesses include estimates that are subject to subsequent adjustment. Based on the transactions closed to date, AIG does not believe that such adjustments will be material to future consolidated results of operations or cash flows.

AIG believes that it has sufficient liquidity at the AIG Parent level to meet its obligations through at least the next twelve months. However, no assurance can be given that AIG's cash needs will not exceed projected amounts. Additional collateral calls, deterioration in investment portfolios or reserve strengthening affecting statutory surplus, higher surrenders of annuities and other policies, further downgrades in AIG's credit ratings, catastrophic losses, or a further deterioration in the super senior credit default swap portfolio may result in significant additional cash needs, or loss of some sources of liquidity, or both. Regulatory and other legal restrictions could limit AIG's ability to transfer funds freely, either to or from its subsidiaries.
Historically, AIG has depended on dividends, distributions, and other payments from subsidiaries to fund payments on its obligations. In light of AIG's current financial situation, certain of its regulated subsidiaries are restricted from making dividend payments, or advancing funds, to AIG. As a result, AIG has also been dependent on the FRBNY as a primary source of liquidity, and on the Department of the Treasury Commitment to support the capital needs of AIG's insurance company subsidiaries. In the first six months of 2010, AIG Parent collected $764 million in dividends and other payments from subsidiaries (primarily from insurance company subsidiaries), which included $604 million in dividends from Chartis U.S.
AIG's primary uses of cash flow are for debt service and subsidiary funding. In the first six months of 2010, AIG Parent retired $850 million of debt and made interest payments totaling $982 million, excluding MIP and Series AIGFP debt. AIG Parent made $2.2 billion in net capital contributions to subsidiaries in the six months ended June 30, 2010, of which the majority was contributed to AIG Capital Corporation, enabling AIG Capital Corporation to redeem its preferred securities held by a Chartis U.S. subsidiary. In addition, in the first six months of 2010, AIG Parent made net loan repayments of $800 million to AGF. At June 30, 2010, AIG Parent owes AGF $750 million under a demand note.
At the current time, AIG Parent has no access to the commercial paper market, one of its traditional sources for its short-term working capital needs. AIG is currently evaluating its ability to re-access the capital markets and expects to update and expand its well-known seasoned issuer shelf registration statement in the near future.
General Insurance
AIG currently expects that its Chartis subsidiaries will be able to continue to meet their obligations as they come due through cash from operations and, to the extent necessary, asset dispositions. One or more large
109
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
catastrophes, however, may require AIG to provide additional support to the affected General Insurance operations. In addition, further downgrades in AIG's credit ratings could put pressure on the insurer financial strength ratings of its subsidiaries which could result in non-renewals or cancellations by policyholders and adversely affect the subsidiary's ability to meet its own obligations and require AIG to provide capital or liquidity support to the subsidiary. Increases in market interest rates may adversely affect the financial strength ratings of General Insurance subsidiaries as rating agency capital models may reduce the amount of available capital relative to required capital.
Given the size and liquidity profile of AIG's General Insurance investment portfolios, AIG believes that deviations from its projected claim experience do not constitute a significant liquidity risk. AIG's asset/liability management process takes into account the expected maturity of investments and the specific nature and risk profile of liabilities. Historically, there has been no significant variation between the expected maturities of AIG's General Insurance investments and the payment of claims. See Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Investments for further information.
Domestic and Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services operations
The most significant potential liquidity needs of AIG's Domestic and Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services companies are the funding of surrenders and withdrawals. A substantial increase in these needs could place stress on the liquidity of these companies. However, management considers the sources of liquidity for Domestic and Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services subsidiaries adequate to meet foreseeable liquidity needs. These subsidiaries generally have been lengthening their maturity profile by purchasing investment grade fixed income securities, in order to reduce the high levels of liquidity which had been maintained during 2009. Given the size and liquidity profile of AIG's Domestic and Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services investment portfolios, AIG believes that deviations from their projected claim experience do not constitute a significant liquidity risk. A significant increase in policy surrenders and withdrawals, which could be triggered by a variety of factors, including AIG specific concerns, could result in a substantial liquidity strain. Other potential events causing a liquidity strain could include economic collapse of a nation or region significant to Domestic and Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services operations, nationalization, catastrophic terrorist acts, pandemics or other economic or political upheaval.
AIG believes that its Domestic and Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services companies currently have adequate capital to support their business plans. However, to the extent that these subsidiaries experience significant future losses or declines in their investment portfolios, AIG may need to contribute capital to these companies.
Financial Services
AIG's major Financial Services operating subsidiaries consist of ILFC, AIGFP, AGF and AIG Consumer Finance Group, Inc. (AIGCFG). Certain traditional sources of funds to meet the short-term liquidity needs of these operations are generally no longer available. These sources included issuance of commercial paper and bank credit facilities. However, during the first six months of 2010, ILFC and AGF made significant progress in addressing their foreseeable liquidity needs, as further described below. In addition, AIG has sold a substantial portion of its consumer finance operations.
ILFC
During the first six months of 2010, ILFC refinanced five aircraft and financed five new aircraft under its ECA Facility, borrowed $1.3 billion through secured financing arrangements and issued $2.75 billion aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes in private placements.
During the second quarter of 2010, ILFC amended its bank facilities and term loans to increase its capacity to enter into secured financings to 35 percent of its consolidated tangible net assets as defined in its revolving credit facilities, which assets approximated $15.0 billion (subject to certain prepayment requirements), and extended the maturity date of $2.16 billion of its $2.5 billion revolving credit facility from October 2011 to October 2012. This agreement is subject to the satisfaction of certain collateralization milestones.
110

In addition, as mentioned above, ILFC agreed to sell 61 aircraft to third parties. These sales are expected to generate approximately $2.2 billion in gross proceeds during 2010. Most of the sales of the individual aircraft are expected to be consummated during the remainder of 2010 and the related proceeds are receivable upon the completion of each individual sale. As part of its ongoing fleet strategy, ILFC may pursue additional potential aircraft sales and debt issuances. ILFC management is balancing the need for funds with the long-term value of holding aircraft and other financing alternatives.
Because the current market for aircraft is depressed due to the economic downturn and limited availability of buyer financing, it is likely that if additional aircraft are sold to meet liquidity needs, realized losses may be incurred. In the first six months of 2010, ILFC recorded asset impairment charges aggregating $387 million and operating lease related losses of $90 million on aircraft under contract to be sold.
AIG expects that ILFC's existing cash balances, future cash flows from operations, potential debt issuances and aircraft sales will be sufficient for ILFC to meet its existing obligations for at least the next twelve months.
As of June 30, 2010, notes and bonds aggregating $17.4 billion were outstanding with maturity dates ranging from 2010 to 2017. To the extent considered appropriate, ILFC may enter into swap transactions to manage its effective borrowing rates with respect to these notes and bonds.
On March 22, 2010 and April 6, 2010, ILFC issued a combined $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 8.625 percent senior notes due September 15, 2015, and $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of 8.750 percent senior notes due March 15, 2017. The notes are due in full on their scheduled maturity dates.
On October 13, 2009, ILFC entered into two term loan agreements (the Term Loans) with AIG Funding comprised of a new $2.0 billion credit agreement and a $1.7 billion amended and restated credit agreement. The Term Loans are secured by a portfolio of aircraft and all related equipment and leases. ILFC used the proceeds from the $2.0 billion loan to repay in full its obligations under its $2.0 billion revolving credit facility that matured on October 15, 2009. The second credit agreement amended and restated the two demand note agreements aggregating $1.7 billion that ILFC entered into in March 2009 with AIG Funding, including extending the maturity date of such demand notes. Both Term Loans mature on September 13, 2013 and currently bear interest at 3-month LIBOR plus 6.025 percent, of which 3.0 percent is permitted to be paid in kind and is added to the principal balance of the loans. The Term Loans are due in full at maturity with no scheduled amortization. On December 4, 2009, the new $2.0 billion credit agreement was increased to $2.2 billion. The funds for the Term Loans were provided to AIG Funding through the FRBNY Credit Facility. As a condition of the FRBNY approving the Term Loans, ILFC entered into agreements to guarantee the repayment of AIG's obligations under the FRBNY Credit Agreement up to an amount equal to the aggregate outstanding balance of the Term Loans.
ILFC has a $4.3 billion 1999 ECA Facility that was used in connection with the purchase of 62 Airbus aircraft delivered through 2001. This facility is guaranteed by various European Export Credit Agencies. The interest rate varies from 5.81 percent to 5.86 percent on these amortizing ten-year borrowings depending on the delivery date of the aircraft. At June 30, 2010, ILFC had 17 loans with a remaining principal balance of $73 million outstanding under this facility. At June 30, 2010, the net book value of the related aircraft was $1.7 billion. The debt is collateralized by a pledge of shares of an ILFC subsidiary, which holds title to the aircraft financed under the facility.
ILFC has a similarly structured 2004 ECA Facility, which was amended in May 2009 to allow ILFC to borrow up to a maximum of $4.6 billion to fund the purchase of Airbus aircraft delivered through June 30, 2010. This facility is also guaranteed by various European Export Credit Agencies. The interest rates are either LIBOR based with spreads ranging from (0.04) percent to 2.25 percent or at fixed rates ranging from 4.20 percent to 4.71 percent. At June 30, 2010, ILFC had financed 76 aircraft using approximately $4.3 billion under this facility and approximately $3.0 billion was outstanding. At June 30, 2010, the interest rate of the loans outstanding ranged from 0.35 percent to 4.71 percent. The debt is collateralized by a pledge of shares of a subsidiary of ILFC, which
111
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
holds title to the aircraft financed under the facility. At June 30, 2010, the net book value of the related aircraft was approximately $4.4 billion. Borrowings with respect to these facilities are included in ILFC's notes and bonds payable in the table below.
ILFC refinanced five aircraft and financed five new aircraft under the 2004 ECA Facility during the first six months of 2010. ILFC's current credit ratings require (i) the segregation of security deposits, maintenance reserves and rental payments received for aircraft funded under both its 1999 and 2004 ECA Facilities into separate accounts, controlled by the trustees of the 1999 and 2004 ECA Facilities; and (ii) the filings of individual mortgages on the aircraft funded under the facility in the respective local jurisdictions in which the aircraft is registered. At June 30, 2010, ILFC had segregated security deposits, maintenance reserves and rental payments aggregating $383 million related to such aircraft. Segregated rental payments are used to pay scheduled principal and interest on the ECA facilities as they become due.
During the first quarter of 2010, ILFC entered into agreements to cross-collateralize the two ECA Facilities. In conjunction with the agreement, ILFC agreed to an acceleration event, which would accelerate debt related to the ten aircraft financed during 2010 if, among other things, ILFC were to sell aircraft with an aggregate book value exceeding an agreed upon amount, currently approximately $10.7 billion, within a period starting from the date of the agreement until December 31, 2012.
ILFC Bank Financings and Other Secured Financings
At June 30, 2010, the total funded amount of ILFC's bank financings was $4.6 billion, which includes $4.5 billion of revolving credit facilities. The fundings mature through October 2012. The interest rates are LIBOR-based, with spreads ranging from 0.30 percent to 2.15 percent. At June 30, 2010, the interest rates ranged from 0.61 percent to 2.69 percent.
During the second quarter of 2010, ILFC amended covenants under its revolving credit facilities and bank term loans to increase its capacity to enter into secured financings from 12.5 percent to 35 percent of its consolidated tangible net assets, as defined in its credit facility agreement, which assets approximated $15.0 billion (subject to certain prepayment requirements). In conjunction with the amendment, ILFC (i) extended the maturity date of $2.16 billion of its $2.5 billion revolving credit facility from October 2011 to October 2012 (subject to the satisfaction of certain collateralization milestones), with the loan secured by aircraft with an initial loan-to-value ratio of 75 percent, and increased the interest rate by 1.5 percent; (ii) pre-paid $410 million of bank term debt with original maturity dates through 2012; and, (iii) increased the interest rate by 1.5 percent on $75 million principal amount of bank term debt.
On March 17, 2010, ILFC entered into a $750 million term loan agreement secured by 43 aircraft and all related equipment and leases. The loan matures on March 17, 2015, and bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 4.75 percent with a LIBOR floor of 2.0 percent. The principal of the loan is payable in full at maturity with no scheduled amortization, however, ILFC has the right to voluntarily prepay the loan at any time, subject to a 1.0 percent prepayment penalty prior to March 17, 2011. On March 17, 2010, ILFC also entered into an additional term loan agreement of $550 million. The loan is secured by 37 aircraft and all related equipment and leases. The loan matures on March 17, 2016, and bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 5.0 percent with a LIBOR floor of 2.0 percent. The principal of the loan is payable in full at maturity with no scheduled amortization, however, ILFC has the right to voluntarily prepay the loan at any time, subject to a 2.0 percent prepayment penalty prior to March 17, 2011, and a 1.0 percent prepayment penalty prior to March 17, 2012.
AIG does not guarantee any of the debt obligations of ILFC.
AIGFP
Prior to September 2008, AIGFP had historically funded its operations through the issuance of notes and bonds, GIA borrowings, other structured financing transactions and repurchase agreements.
During the second quarter of 2010, an aggregate of $2.3 billion of commercial paper of Curzon Funding LLC and Nightingale Finance LLC outstanding under the CPFF was repaid through an increase in borrowings under the FRBNY Credit Facility. AIGFP continues to rely on AIG Parent to meet most of its liquidity needs.

AIGFP has continued unwinding its businesses and portfolios. During 2010, AIGFP reduced the notional amount of its derivative portfolio by 36 percent, from $940.7 billion (including $40.7 billion of intercompany derivatives) at December 31, 2009 to $602.4 billion (including $19.1 billion of intercompany derivatives) at June 30, 2010. AIGFP reduced the number of its outstanding trade positions by approximately 4,200, from approximately 16,100 at December 31, 2009 to approximately 11,900 at June 30, 2010. In connection with these activities, AIGFP has disaggregated its portfolio of existing transactions into a number of separate "books" and has developed a plan for addressing each book, including assessing each book's risks, risk mitigation options, monitoring metrics and certain implications of various potential outcomes. Each plan has been reviewed by a steering committee whose membership includes senior executives of AIG. The plans are subject to change as efforts progress and as conditions in the financial markets evolve, and they contemplate, depending on the book in question, alternative strategies, including sales, assignments or other transfers of positions, terminations of positions, and/or run-offs of positions in accordance with existing terms. Execution of these plans is overseen by a transaction approval process involving senior members of AIGFP's and AIG's respective management groups as specific actions entail greater liquidity and financial consequences. Successful execution of these plans is subject, to varying degrees depending on the transactions of a given book, to market conditions and, in many circumstances, counterparty negotiation and agreement.
In connection with the wind-down, certain assets were sold. The proceeds from these sales have been used to fund AIGFP's wind-down and are not included in the amounts described above under AIG's Strategy for Stabilization and Repayment of its Obligations as They Come Due. The FRBNY waived the requirement under the FRBNY Credit Agreement that the proceeds of these specific sales be applied as a mandatory prepayment under the FRBNY Credit Facility, which would have resulted in a permanent reduction of the FRBNY's commitment to lend to AIG. Instead, the FRBNY has given AIGFP permission to retain the proceeds of these completed sales, and has required that such proceeds received from certain future sales be used to voluntarily prepay the FRBNY Credit Facility, with the amounts prepaid available for future reborrowing subject to the terms of the FRBNY Credit Facility. AIGFP is also opportunistically terminating contracts.
As a consequence of its wind-down strategy, AIGFP is entering into new derivative transactions only to hedge its current portfolio, reduce risk and hedge the currency, interest rate and other market risks associated with its affiliated businesses. AIGFP has already reduced the size of certain portions of its portfolio, including effecting a substantial reduction in credit derivative transactions in respect of multi-sector collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) in connection with ML III and through the ongoing termination of transactions in its regulatory capital portfolio, a sale of its commodity index business, termination and sale of its activities as a foreign exchange prime broker, and sale and other disposition of its energy/infrastructure investment portfolio. AIGFP also has novated certain trades to AIG Markets. Due to the long-term duration of AIGFP's derivative contracts and the complexity of AIGFP's portfolio, AIG expects that an orderly wind-down of AIGFP's businesses and portfolios will take a substantial period of time.
During the second quarter of 2010, AIG continued to make progress winding down AIGFP's derivatives portfolio. At June, 30, 2010, the portfolio was $602.4 billion, of which $89.5 billion were super senior credit default swap contracts. AIG expects to continue to reduce the size of AIGFP's derivatives portfolio through the
113
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
remainder of the year. If the wind-down continues as anticipated, AIG expects late in 2010 or early 2011 that the remaining AIGFP derivatives portfolio will consist of transactions that AIG believes will be of low complexity or of low risk or not economically feasible to unwind based on a cost versus benefit analysis. During the latter stages of the wind-down, AIG expects to assume direct management of the investments and debt obligations of AIGFP, at which time the performance of those assets and liabilities will no longer be reported as part of Capital Markets. However, AIG anticipates that the remaining derivatives business will continue to be reported as Capital Markets.
The cost of executing the wind-down will depend on many factors, many of which are not within AIG's control, including market conditions, AIGFP's access to markets via market counterparties, the availability of liquidity and the potential implications of further rating downgrades. In addition, the Determination Memoranda issued by the Special Master for TARP Executive Compensation place significant new restrictions on the compensation of AIGFP employees included in the five executives named in AIG's Proxy Statement and the next twenty highest paid employees of AIG (Top 25) and AIG's next 75 most highly compensated employees and executive officers (together, the Top 100) and may impair AIGFP's ability to retain these employees, and consequently negatively impact the wind-down of AIGFP's businesses and portfolios.
AGF
Prior to September 2008, AGF's traditional source of liquidity had been collections of customer receivables and borrowings in the public markets.
AGF anticipates that its primary sources of funds to support its operations and repay its obligations will be customer receivable collections, additional on-balance sheet securitizations, portfolio sales and other borrowings. In order to improve cash flow from operations, AGF has significantly limited its lending activities and aggressively managed its expenses. Since year end 2009, AGF has continued to manage its liquidity with proceeds of more than $500 million from a $1.0 billion asset securitization in March 2010 and the execution and full drawdown of a $3.0 billion five-year secured term loan in April 2010. AIG is continuing to explore strategic alternatives for AGF, including a potential sale of all or a majority of its $2.4 billion investment in AGF. Depending on the amount of proceeds to be realized on a potential sale, AIG may incur a loss, which could be material to its consolidated results of operations for an individual reporting period. In January 2010, AIG made an $11 million capital contribution to AGF (through AIG Capital Corporation). In March 2010, AGF repaid the $2.45 billion one-year term loans and in April 2010, AGF repaid the $2.125 billion revolving credit facility, both prior to their due dates in July 2010. AIG manages its liquidity on a consolidated basis, which may include making or receiving short-term loans with AGF.
AGF Notes and Bonds Payable
As of June 30, 2010, notes and bonds payable aggregating $17.0 billion were outstanding with maturity dates ranging from 2010 to 2031 at interest rates ranging from 0.72 percent to 9.00 percent. To the extent considered appropriate, AGF may enter into swap transactions to manage its effective borrowing rates with respect to these notes and bonds. AIG does not guarantee any of the debt obligations of AGF.

These credit ratings are current opinions of the rating agencies. As such, they may be changed, suspended or withdrawn at any time by the rating agencies as a result of changes in, or unavailability of, information or based on other circumstances. Ratings may also be withdrawn at AIG management's request. This discussion of ratings is not a complete list of ratings of AIG and its subsidiaries.
"Ratings triggers" have been defined by one independent rating agency to include clauses or agreements the outcome of which depends upon the level of ratings maintained by one or more rating agencies. "Ratings triggers" generally relate to events that (i) could result in the termination or limitation of credit availability, or require accelerated repayment, (ii) could result in the termination of business contracts or (iii) could require a company to post collateral for the benefit of counterparties.
A significant portion of AIGFP's GIAs, structured financing arrangements and financial derivative transactions include provisions that require AIGFP, upon a downgrade of AIG's long-term debt ratings, to post collateral or, with the consent of the counterparties, assign or repay its positions or arrange a substitute guarantee of its obligations by an obligor with higher debt ratings. Furthermore, certain downgrades of AIG's long-term senior debt ratings would permit either AIG or the counterparties to elect early termination of contracts.
The actual amount of collateral that AIGFP would be required to post to counterparties in the event of such downgrades, or the aggregate amount of payments that AIG could be required to make, depends on market conditions, the fair value of outstanding affected transactions and other factors prevailing at the time of the downgrade. For a discussion of the effect of a downgrade in AIG's credit ratings on AIGFP's financial derivative transactions, see Item 1A. Risk Factors in the 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Additional information regarding AIG's contractual obligations follows:
Borrowings
Excludes borrowings incurred by consolidated investments and includes hybrid financial instrument liabilities recorded at fair value. The repayment of long-term debt maturities, net borrowings under the FRBNY Credit Facility, and interest accrued on borrowings by AIG and its subsidiaries are expected to be made through maturing investments and asset sales, future cash flows from operations, cash flows generated from invested assets, future debt issuance and other financing arrangements, as more fully described in AIG's Strategy for Stabilization and Repayment of its Obligations as They Come Due above.
Loss Reserves
Loss reserves relate primarily to General Insurance business and represents future loss and loss adjustment expense payments estimated based on historical loss development payment patterns. Due to the significance of the assumptions used, the periodic amounts presented could be materially different from actual required payments. Management believes that adequate financial resources are maintained by the individual General Insurance subsidiaries to meet the actual required payments under these obligations. The General Insurance subsidiaries maintain substantial liquidity in the form of cash and short-term investments, totaling $13.0 billion as of June 30, 2010. Further, General Insurance businesses maintain significant levels of investment-grade fixed income securities, including substantial holdings in government and corporate bonds (see Investments herein), which could be monetized in the event operating cash flows are insufficient. Generally, these assets are not transferable across various legal entities; however, management believes there are generally sufficient resources within those legal entities such that they can meet their individual needs. See Capital Resources and Liquidity Analysis of Sources and Uses of Cash and Liquidity of Parent and Subsidiaries for matters that could affect operating cash flows and liquidity of the subsidiaries.

American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Insurance and Investment Contract Liabilities
GIC liabilities represent guaranteed maturities under GICs. Insurance and investment contract liabilities, including GIC liabilities, relate primarily to Life Insurance and Retirement Services businesses and include various investment-type products with contractually scheduled maturities, including periodic payments of a term certain nature. Insurance and investment contract liabilities also include benefit and claim liabilities, of which a significant portion represents policies and contracts that do not have stated contractual maturity dates and may not result in any future payment obligations. For these policies and contracts (i) AIG is currently not making payments until the occurrence of an insurable event, such as death or disability, (ii) payments are conditional on survivorship, or (iii) payment may occur due to a surrender or other non-scheduled event out of AIG's control. AIG has made significant assumptions to determine the estimated undiscounted cash flows of these contractual policy benefits, which assumptions include mortality, morbidity, future lapse rates, expenses, investment returns and interest crediting rates, offset by expected future deposits and premiums on in-force policies. Due to the significance of the assumptions used, the periodic amounts presented could be materially different from actual required payments. The amounts presented in this table are undiscounted and therefore exceed the future policy benefits and policyholder contract deposits included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Management believes that adequate financial resources are maintained by individual Life Insurance and Retirement Services subsidiaries to meet the payments actually required under these obligations. These subsidiaries maintain substantial liquidity in the form of cash and short-term investments, totaling $19.1 billion as of June 30, 2010. In addition, the Life Insurance and Retirement Services businesses maintain significant levels of investment-grade fixed income securities, including substantial holdings in government and corporate bonds (see Investments herein), which may be monetized in the event operating cash flows are insufficient. Generally, these assets are not transferable across various legal entities; however, management believes there are generally sufficient resources within those legal entities such that they can meet their individual needs. Liquidity needs for GIC liabilities are generally expected to be funded through cash flows generated from maturities and sales of invested assets.
Aircraft Purchases
At June 30, 2010, ILFC has committed to purchase 115 new aircraft deliverable from 2011 through 2019, at an estimated aggregate purchase price of $13.5 billion, the majority of which is due after 2015, with $248 million coming due through 2011.

Securities Financing
The fair value of securities transferred under repurchase agreements accounted for as sales was $2.6 billion and $2.3 billion at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, and the related cash collateral obtained was $1.9 billion and $1.5 billion at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.
See Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K for discussion of restrictions on payments of dividends.
Arrangements with Variable Interest Entities
While AIG enters into various arrangements with variable interest entities (VIEs) in the normal course of business, AIG's involvement with VIEs is primarily as a passive investor in debt securities (rated and unrated) and equity interests issued by VIEs. AIG consolidates a VIE when it is the primary beneficiary of the entity. For a further discussion of AIG's involvement with VIEs, see Notes 1 and 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Premiums and Other Considerations
Premiums and other considerations decreased in the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 primarily due to a reduction of $1.4 billion from dispositions during 2009, including the sale of 21st Century Insurance Group (21st Century), and the deconsolidation of Transatlantic. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, Premiums and other considerations decreased by $3.4 billion compared to the same period in 2009 as a result of the aforementioned dispositions as well as the sale of HSB Group, Inc. (HSB) in the first quarter of 2009. Additionally, Commercial Insurance premiums declined by approximately $1.0 billion compared to the first six months of 2009 due to the continued unfavorable pricing environment and weak economy. The decline also reflects price discipline in workers' compensation and capital management initiatives.

Net investment income declined in the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 primarily due to a decline in Policyholder investment income and trading gains for Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services (together, policyholder trading gains) compared to 2009. Policyholder trading gains are offset by a change in Policyholder benefits and claims incurred and generally reflect the trends in equity markets. This decline also reflected lower valuation gains associated with AIG's interest in ML II and ML III. These declines were partially offset by income from partnership investments in 2010 compared to losses in 2009, reflecting improved market conditions in the current year period.
Net investment income increased in six-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 primarily due to significantly higher income from partnership investments and increased valuation gains associated with AIG's interest in ML II and ML III. These increases were partially offset by the decline in Policyholder trading gains noted above.
Both the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 reflected lower levels of invested assets, including the effect of divested businesses, as well as lower returns as a result of increased levels of short-term investments that were held for liquidity purposes.

Net realized capital losses decreased in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same periods of 2009 reflecting lower other-than-temporary impairment charges in the current year periods. Affecting the six-month comparison was the adoption of the new other-than-temporary impairments accounting standard commencing in the second quarter of 2009. The three-month period ended March 31, 2009 included non-credit impairments (i.e. severity losses) that are no longer required for fixed maturity securities. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements; and Investments Other-Than-Temporary Impairments. The three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 also included increased foreign exchange transaction gains. Partially offsetting the above items were losses on derivative instruments not designated for hedge accounting, primarily resulting from movements in foreign exchange rates and a tightening of credit spreads.
Unrealized Market Valuation Gains (Losses) on AIGFP Super Senior Credit Default Swap Portfolio
AIGFP reported a decline in unrealized market valuation gains related to its super senior credit default swap portfolio in the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 as a result of increased corporate spreads in the corporate arbitrage portfolio partially offset by improved prices of the underlying assets in the multi-sector CDO portfolio.
The unrealized market valuation gains increased $96 million, to $280 million, in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 as a result of improved prices of the underlying assets in the multi-sector CDO portfolio partially offset by losses in the corporate arbitrage portfolio caused by increasing corporate spreads.
See Segment Results Financial Services Operations Financial Services Results Capital Markets Results and Critical Accounting Estimates Valuation of Level 3 Assets and Liabilities and Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Other income decreased in the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 due primarily to a decline of $1.1 billion reflecting the negative effect of derivative hedging activities that did not qualify for hedge accounting.
123
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Other income decreased in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 due to:
This decrease was partially offset by a bargain purchase gain of $406 million related to the Fuji acquisition.
Policyholder Benefits and Claims Incurred
Policyholder benefits and claims incurred decreased in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 due to:
Partially offsetting these declines were increased catastrophe losses for General Insurance. See General Insurance results herein for further discussion.
Policy Acquisition and Other Insurance Expenses
Policy acquisition and other insurance expenses decreased in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 primarily due to reductions of $315 million and $683 million, respectively, as a result of the aforementioned dispositions in 2009.
Partially offsetting this decrease in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 were the effects of $222 million of amortization of a premium deficiency reserve by UGC in the first quarter of 2009.
Interest expense decreased in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 primarily due to lower interest expense on the FRBNY Credit Facility. Interest expense on the FRBNY Credit Facility benefited from a reduced weighted average interest rate of 3.3 percent for both the three-and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 compared to 4.5 percent and 5.5 percent for the same periods in 2009. Interest expense also benefited from a lower average outstanding balance in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 of $23.8 billion and $22.9 billion compared to $43.2 billion and $41.4 billion in the same periods of 2009. Interest expense on the FRBNY Credit Facility was $755 million and $1.6 billion in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010, respectively, compared to $1.4 billion and $2.9 billion in the same periods in 2009. Interest expense in three- and
124
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 included $543 million and $1.2 billion, respectively, of amortization of the prepaid commitment fee asset associated with the FRBNY Credit Facility compared to $822 million and $1.6 billion in the same periods of 2009.
Restructuring Expenses and Related Asset Impairment and Other Expenses
Restructuring expenses decreased in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 reflecting progress made under the restructuring plan and asset disposition initiatives. See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion regarding restructuring and separation expenses.
Net (Gain) Loss on Sale of Divested Businesses
Net gain (loss) on sale of divested businesses includes the net gain (loss) on the sale of divested businesses that did not qualify as discontinued operations as well as a gain of $228 million for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 associated with the termination fee paid by Prudential to AIG compared to losses in the comparable periods of 2009. See Segment Results Other Operations Other Results herein for further information.
Other expenses decreased in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009 due to a decline in the Consumer Finance provision for loan losses of $283 million and $537 million in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010, respectively. The decrease also reflected lower compensation and other costs for the noncore Asset Management businesses reflecting the effect of the deconsolidation of certain portfolio investments and the sale of its investment advisory and third party institutional asset management business in the third quarter of 2009. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in corporate unallocated costs reflecting an increased securities litigation charge.
For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010, the effective tax rates on pre-tax income from continuing operations were 19.4 percent and (3.3) percent, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 attributable to continuing operations was primarily related to an increase in the valuation allowance of $539 million, partially offset by tax exempt interest of $152 million and the effect of foreign operations of $501 million. The effective tax rate for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 was negative because AIG recorded a net tax benefit on pre-tax income. The benefit reflected in the effective tax rate attributable to continuing operations was primarily related to the effects of tax exempt interest income of $307 million, the effect of foreign operations of $467 million, the excess amount of the Fuji bargain purchase gain for financial reporting over the tax basis which is essentially permanent in duration of $142 million, and a reduction of $211 million in the valuation allowance.
In making its determination of the fair values of the subsidiaries to be divested, AIG considered, among other information, valuations prepared for various purposes by third parties and updated by AIG, when necessary. As discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, in June 2010 AIG and Prudential plc terminated the AIA transaction. Because AIG is still proceeding with its plans to divest AIA, this termination has not affected the amount of deferred tax assets expected to be realized in connection with the planned divestiture of AIA. This determination was based on an assessment of the expected gain resulting from a range of possible outcomes associated with alternative divestiture strategies, including an initial public offering.
For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009, the effective tax rates on pre-tax income (loss) from continuing operations were (242.7) percent and 20.9 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009 was negative because AIG recorded a tax benefit on pre-tax income. The benefit reflected in the effective tax rate attributable to continuing operations for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009 was primarily related to a decrease in the valuation allowance of $1.6 billion, partially offset by

American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
deferred tax expense of $760 million mainly attributable to the change in the estimated U.S. tax liability with respect to the potential sale of subsidiaries and an increase of $382 million in the reserve for uncertain tax positions. The benefit reflected in the effective tax rate attributable to continuing operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009 was primarily related to tax exempt interest of $366 million, partially offset by changes in the estimated U.S. tax liability with respect to the potential sale of subsidiaries of $287 million and an increase of $406 million in the reserve for uncertain tax positions.
At June 30, 2010 AIG's net deferred tax asset was comprised of $7.1 billion (net of $20.8 billion valuation allowance) related to its U.S. consolidated income tax group, and $1.6 billion of net deferred tax liability related to foreign subsidiaries, state and local tax jurisdictions, and certain domestic subsidiaries that file separate tax returns. AIG assesses its ability to realize the deferred tax asset based on AIG's ability to generate gains on asset sales, including from the divestitures of AIA and ALICO, and tax planning strategies that would be implemented, if necessary, to protect against the loss of the deferred tax asset. This assessment does not depend on projected future operating income of the U.S. consolidated income tax group.
In any interim period, the U.S. consolidated income tax group may generate income or loss. To the extent that any income is generated, the related tax expense may be offset by a reduction in the valuation allowance. Conversely, any tax benefits arising from losses may be offset by an additional valuation allowance to reduce the net deferred tax asset to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Any reduction of the valuation allowance will be allocated to continuing operations, discontinued operations and components of shareholders' equity based on the intraperiod tax allocation rules. AIG's foreign subsidiaries and U.S. subsidiaries filing separate returns will continue to recognize tax expense and tax benefits, based on their income or loss, which will be reflected in AIG's consolidated income tax provision (benefit).
See Critical Accounting Estimates Valuation Allowance on Deferred Tax Assets and Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

ALICO total revenues declined for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 largely due to lower policyholder trading gains, which are offset in policyholder benefits and claims incurred. This decline more than offset growth in Premiums and other considerations of 3 percent compared to the same period in 2009, reflecting the positive impact of foreign exchange. Total revenues also benefited from a decline in realized capital losses due to foreign exchange transaction gains in the current year period. ALICO's pre-tax loss in the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 was largely due to the impairment of goodwill discussed above.
ALICO total revenues for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 increased over the same period in 2009 reflecting a decline of $494 million in net realized capital losses due to foreign exchange transaction gains in the current year period as well as growth of 5 percent in Premiums and other considerations compared to the same period in 2009 due to the positive impact of foreign exchange and continued strength in new and renewal business. ALICO's pre-tax loss in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 was largely due to the impairment of goodwill discussed above.
Nan Shan total revenues decreased in the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 primarily due to net realized capital losses of $66 million in the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to net realized capital gains of $720 million in the three-month period ended June 30, 2009. The net realized capital gains in the three-month period ended June 30, 2009 resulted primarily from gains on sales of fixed maturity and equity securities, which more than offset the 2010 increase in premiums and other considerations resulting from growth in the business and the favorable effect of foreign exchange. Included in Nan Shan's pre-tax loss in the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 is a $294 million additional loss accrual associated with the contingent sales consideration related to the escrow of funds on the sale of Nan Shan. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
Nan Shan total revenues decreased slightly in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 as the decline in net realized capital gains was largely offset by increased premiums and other considerations resulting from growth in the business and the favorable effect of foreign exchange. The pre-tax loss reflects the change in net realized capital gains and the $294 million loss discussed above.
AIG believes it should present and discuss its financial information in a manner most meaningful to its financial statement users. In managing its businesses, AIG analyzes the operating performance of each business based on pre-tax income (loss), excluding net realized capital gains (losses), results from discontinued operations and net gains (losses) on sales of divested businesses, because AIG believes that this permits better assessment and enhances understanding of the operating performance of each business by highlighting the results from ongoing operations and the underlying profitability of its businesses. When such measures are disclosed, reconciliations to GAAP pre-tax income are provided.

AIG's General Insurance subsidiaries, branded Chartis in 2009, are multi-line companies writing substantially all lines of property and casualty insurance in the U.S. and internationally.
As previously noted, AIG believes it should present and discuss its financial information in a manner most meaningful to its financial statement users. Accordingly, in its General Insurance business AIG uses underwriting profit (loss) to assess performance of the General Insurance business rather than statutory underwriting profit (loss).
Commercial Insurance writes substantially all classes of business insurance, accepting such business mainly from insurance brokers. This provides Commercial Insurance the opportunity to select specialized markets and retain underwriting control. Any licensed broker is able to submit business to Commercial Insurance without the traditional agent-company contractual relationship, but such broker usually has no authority to commit Commercial Insurance to accept a risk.
AIG's Foreign General insurance group writes both commercial and consumer lines of insurance through a network of branches and foreign based insurance subsidiaries. Foreign General insurance group uses various marketing methods and multiple distribution channels to write both commercial and consumer lines insurance with certain refinements for local laws, customs and needs. Foreign General insurance group operates in Asia & the Pacific, Europe, the Far East and Emerging Markets.

General Insurance Underwriting Results
In managing its general insurance businesses, AIG analyzes the operating performance of its businesses using underwriting profit. Underwriting profit is derived by reducing net premiums earned by claims and claims adjustment expenses incurred and underwriting expenses, including the change in deferred acquisition costs.
AIG, along with most property and casualty insurance companies, uses the loss ratio, the expense ratio and the combined ratio as measures of underwriting performance. The loss ratio is the sum of claims and claims adjustment expenses divided by net premiums earned. The expense ratio is underwriting expenses divided by net premiums earned. These ratios are relative measurements that describe, for every $100 of net premiums earned, the cost of claims and expenses, respectively. A combined ratio of less than 100 indicates an underwriting profit and over 100 indicates an underwriting loss.
Net premiums written are initially deferred and earned based upon the terms of the underlying policies. The net unearned premium reserve constitutes deferred revenues which are generally earned ratably over the policy period.
The underwriting environment varies from country to country, as does the degree of litigation activity. Regulation, product type and competition have a direct effect on pricing and consequently on profitability as reflected in underwriting profit and the combined ratio.
General Insurance Net Premiums Written
General Insurance net premiums written in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 declined 2 percent and 1 percent, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2009, reflecting General Insurance's risk management initiatives and continued price discipline in lines where market rates are unsatisfactory. This decline was partially offset by a positive effect from foreign exchange and strategic growth in higher margin lines of business. While General Insurance continues to see improved premium and account retention, new business submissions, and a relatively stable rate environment, net premium writings continue to be adversely affected by a weak economic environment.

Year-to-Date Underwriting Ratios
The increase in the General Insurance combined ratio for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period of 2009 primarily resulted from:
Partially offsetting these increases was favorable prior year development, which amounted to $149 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to adverse development of $232 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. This is primarily attributable to favorable development in Commercial Insurance's Lexington lines of business, partially offset by adverse development in asbestos, professional liability, and specialty workers' compensation businesses and reinsurance commutations. Foreign General Insurance also experienced favorable development, primarily in its directors & officers' liability (D&O) lines. The current year includes $59 million of favorable development related to loss sensitive policies for Commercial Insurance compared to $172 million in 2009.
Quarterly General Insurance Investing and Other Results
Net investment income for General Insurance increased primarily due to improvement in returns from partnership investments. Net realized capital gains were recognized in 2010 compared to losses in 2009 primarily due to increased gains in derivatives and positive effects of foreign exchange.
Year-to-Date General Insurance Investing and Other Results
Net investment income for General Insurance increased primarily due to improvement in returns from partnership investments. Net realized capital gains were recognized in 2010 compared to losses in 2009 primarily due to lower other-than-temporary impairments on investments, higher gains on sales of fixed maturities and the positive effect of foreign exchange. The Fuji acquisition resulted in a bargain purchase gain of approximately $406 million, which is included in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss) in Other Income.

The increase in the Commercial Insurance combined ratio in the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 primarily resulted from the following:
These increases were compounded by an increase in adverse prior-year development. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2010, Commercial Insurance recorded adverse development of $90 million compared to adverse development of $62 million in the same period of 2009. The adverse development for 2009 includes $71 million of favorable development related to loss sensitive policies.
The increase in the Commercial Insurance combined ratio in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 primarily resulted from the following:
These increases were partially offset by a change in prior-year development. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, Commercial Insurance recorded favorable development of $100 million compared to adverse development of $226 million in the same period of 2009. The net favorable development for 2010 includes
133
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
$59 million of favorable development related to loss sensitive policies compared to $172 million of favorable development related to loss sensitive policies in the same period in 2009.
Quarterly Commercial Insurance Net Loss Development
The $90 million of adverse development in the three months ended June 30, 2010 is primarily attributable to adverse development of $56 million related to reinsurance commutations, $55 million in the professional liability business, $40 million related to asbestos & environmental claims, and $38 million in the specialty workers' compensation line of business. These losses were partially offset by $127 million of favorable development in the Lexington lines of business. Excess casualty and excess workers' compensation showed no development in the quarter.
Year-to-Date Commercial Insurance Net Loss Development
The $100 million of favorable development in the six months ended June 30, 2010 is primarily attributable to favorable development in the Lexington lines of business partially offset by $56 million adverse development related to reinsurance commutations, $46 million of adverse development in the professional liability business, and $40 million of adverse development related to asbestos and environmental claims. Excess casualty and excess workers' compensation showed no development to date in 2010.
Quarterly Commercial Insurance Investing Results
Net investment income for Commercial Insurance increased in the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 primarily due to improvement in returns from partnership investments of $255 million.
Net realized capital losses of $61 million for Commercial Insurance in the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 decreased from net realized capital losses of $82 million in the same period of 2009 primarily due to higher gains from derivatives and a decline in other-than-temporary impairments on investments, partially offset by lower gains from sales of fixed maturity securities, equity securities and real estate.
Year-to-Date Commercial Insurance Investing Results
Net investment income for Commercial Insurance increased in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 primarily due to improvement in returns from partnership investments.

Foreign General Insurance recorded net realized capital gains in the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 due to gains in the sales of fixed maturity securities and the favorable effect of foreign exchange.
Year-to-Date Foreign General Insurance Investing and Other Results
Foreign General Insurance net investment income increased in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 primarily due to higher partnership results partially offset by lower mutual fund, interest and dividend income.
Foreign General Insurance recorded net realized capital gains in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 due to gains in the sales of fixed maturity securities, the favorable effect of foreign exchange and lower other-than-temporary impairments on investments.
On March 31, 2010, AIG, through a Foreign General Insurance subsidiary, purchased additional voting shares in Fuji. The acquisition of the additional voting shares for $145 million increased Foreign General Insurance's total voting ownership interest in Fuji from 41.7 percent to 54.8 percent, which resulted in Foreign General Insurance obtaining control of Fuji.
Because the acquisition was completed on the last day of the quarter, the initial accounting for the acquisition was incomplete when AIG issued its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The initial purchase price allocation was based on the information that was available at the time to identify and estimate certain of the fair values of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and non-controlling interests of Fuji as of the acquisition date. Fuji's financial information is reported to Foreign General Insurance on a quarter lag. As such, Foreign General Insurance was awaiting additional information necessary to finalize the purchase price allocation as of the acquisition date. Furthermore, at the time, Foreign General Insurance had not obtained final appraisals of Fuji's insurance contracts, loans, certain real estate and intangible assets.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2010, Foreign General Insurance completed the accounting for the acquisition and retrospectively adjusted the provisional amounts initially recorded. Foreign General Insurance
137
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
obtained the additional information necessary to finalize the purchase price allocation as of the acquisition date including final appraisals of Fuji's insurance contracts, loans, certain real estate or intangible assets. Adjustments to the revised purchase price allocation as of March 31, 2010 may occur if new information becomes known about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognized as of that date.
The acquisition resulted in a bargain purchase gain of approximately $406 million, which is included in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss) in Other Income. AIG will retrospectively revise its results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 when presenting comparative financial information containing that period. The bargain purchase gain is primarily attributable to the depressed market value of Fuji's common stock, which AIG believes is the result of macro-economic, capital market and regulatory factors in Japan coupled with Fuji's financial condition and results of operations. AIG anticipates that the bargain purchase gain will not be subject to U.S. or foreign income tax because the gain would only be recognized for tax purposes upon the sale of the Fuji shares.
Liability for unpaid claims and claims adjustment expense
The following discussion on the consolidated liability for unpaid claims and claims adjustment expenses (loss reserves) presents loss reserves for the Commercial Insurance and Foreign General Insurance reporting units in the General Insurance operating segment and loss reserves pertaining to divested and/or Noncore businesses and those of the Mortgage Guaranty reporting unit collectively reported in AIG's Other category.

AIG's gross loss reserves represent the accumulation of estimates of ultimate losses, including estimates for incurred but not yet reported reserves (IBNR) and loss expenses. The methods used to determine loss reserve estimates and to establish the resulting reserves are continually reviewed and updated. Any adjustments resulting from this review are currently reflected in pre-tax income. Because loss reserve estimates are subject to the outcome of future events, changes in estimates are unavoidable given that loss trends vary and time is often required for changes in trends to be recognized and confirmed. Reserve changes that increase previous estimates of ultimate cost are referred to as unfavorable or adverse development or reserve strengthening. Reserve changes that decrease previous estimates of ultimate cost are referred to as favorable development.
The net loss reserves represent loss reserves reduced by reinsurance recoverable, net of an allowance for unrecoverable reinsurance and applicable discount for future investment income.

Discounting of Reserves
At June 30, 2010, net loss reserves reflect a loss reserve discount of $2.66 billion, including tabular and non-tabular calculations. The tabular workers' compensation discount is calculated using a 3.5 percent interest rate and the 1979-81 Decennial Mortality Table. The non-tabular workers' compensation discount is calculated separately for companies domiciled in New York and Pennsylvania, and follows the statutory regulations for each state. For New York companies, the discount is based on a five percent interest rate and the companies' own payout patterns. For Pennsylvania companies, the statute has specified discount factors for accident years 2001 and prior, which are based on a six percent interest rate and an industry payout pattern. For accident years 2002 and subsequent, the discount is based on the payout patterns and investment yields of the companies. The discount is comprised of the following: $669 million tabular discount for workers' compensation in Commercial Insurance and $1.99 billion non-tabular discount for workers' compensation in Commercial Insurance.
Quarterly Reserving Process
AIG believes that the net loss reserves are adequate to cover net losses and loss expenses as of June 30, 2010. While AIG regularly reviews the adequacy of established loss reserves, there can be no assurance that AIG's ultimate loss reserves will not develop adversely and materially exceed AIG's loss reserves as of June 30, 2010. In the opinion of management, such adverse development and resulting increase in reserves is not likely to have a material adverse effect on AIG's consolidated financial condition, although it could have a material adverse effect on AIG's consolidated results of operations for an individual reporting period.

In determining the loss development from prior accident years, AIG conducts analyses to determine the change in estimated ultimate loss for each accident year for each class of business. For example, if loss emergence for a class of business is different than expected for certain accident years, the actuaries examine the indicated effect such emergence would have on the reserves of that class of business. In some cases, the higher or lower than expected emergence may result in no clear change in the ultimate loss estimate for the accident years in question, and no adjustment would be made to the reserves for the class of business for prior accident years. In other cases, the higher or lower than expected emergence may result in a larger change, either favorable or unfavorable, than the difference between the actual and expected loss emergence. Such additional analyses were conducted for each class of business, as appropriate, in the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 to determine the loss development from prior accident years for three-month period ended June 30, 2010. As part of its reserving process, AIG also considers notices of claims received with respect to emerging issues, such as those related to the U.S. mortgage and housing market.
See General Insurance Results herein for further discussion of net loss development.
Asbestos and Environmental Reserves
The estimation of loss reserves relating to asbestos and environmental claims on insurance policies written many years ago is subject to greater uncertainty than other types of claims due to inconsistent court decisions as well as judicial interpretations and legislative actions that in some cases have tended to broaden coverage beyond the original intent of such policies and in others have expanded theories of liability.
As described more fully in the 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K, AIG's reserves relating to asbestos and environmental claims reflect a comprehensive ground-up analysis. In the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, a minor amount of adverse incurred loss development pertaining to asbestos was reflected in the table that follows. This development was primarily attributable to several large accounts. In addition, a minor adjustment to the environmental gross and net reserves was also recognized.

Survival Ratios Asbestos and Environmental
The following table presents AIG's survival ratios for asbestos and environmental claims at June 30, 2010 and 2009. The survival ratio is derived by dividing the current carried loss reserve by the average payments for the three most recent calendar years for these claims. Therefore, the survival ratio is a simplistic measure estimating the number of years it would be before the current ending loss reserves for these claims would be paid off using recent year average payments. The June 30, 2010 gross asbestos survival ratio is lower than the ratio at June 30, 2009 because the more recent periods included in the rolling average reflect higher claims payments. In addition, AIG's survival ratio for asbestos claims was negatively affected by certain favorable settlements during 2008 and 2007. These settlements reduced gross and net asbestos survival ratios at June 30, 2010 by approximately 0.3 years and 0.7 years, respectively; and reduced gross and net asbestos survival ratios at June 30, 2009 by approximately 1.0 years and 2.1 years, respectively. Many factors, such as aggressive settlement procedures, mix of business and level of coverage provided, have a significant effect on the amount of asbestos and environmental reserves and payments and the resultant survival ratio. Moreover, as discussed above, the primary basis for AIG's determination of its reserves is not survival ratios, but instead the ground-up and top-down analysis. Thus, caution should be exercised in attempting to determine reserve adequacy for these claims based simply on this survival ratio.
The following table presents AIG's survival ratios for asbestos and environmental claims, separately and combined, which were based upon a three-year average payment:

Domestic Life Insurance & Retirement Services Operations
AIG's Domestic Life Insurance & Retirement Services segment, operating as SunAmerica Financial Group, is comprised of several life insurance and retirement services businesses that offer a comprehensive suite of life insurance, retirement savings products and guaranteed income solutions through an established multi-channel distribution network that includes banks, national, regional and independent broker-dealers, career financial advisors, wholesale life brokers, insurance agents and a direct-to-consumer platform.
AIG's Domestic Life Insurance businesses offer a broad range of protection products, including individual term and universal life insurance, and group life and health products. In addition, Domestic Life Insurance offers a variety of payout annuities, which include single premium immediate annuities, structured settlements and terminal funding annuities. Domestic Retirement Services businesses offer group retirement products, individual fixed and variable annuities, mutual funds and financial planning and investment advisory services. Certain previously acquired closed blocks and fixed and variable annuity blocks that have been discontinued are reported as "runoff" annuities. Domestic Retirement Services also maintains a runoff block of Guaranteed Investment Contracts (GICs) that were written in (or issued to) the institutional market place prior to 2006.
In managing its Domestic Life Insurance & Retirement Services businesses, AIG analyzes the operating performance of each business using pre-tax income (loss) before net realized capital gains (losses). Pre-tax income (loss) before net realized capital gains (losses) is not a substitute for pre-tax income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, AIG believes that the presentation of pre-tax income (loss) before net realized capital gains (losses) enhances the understanding of the underlying profitability of the ongoing operations of the Domestic Life Insurance & Retirement Services businesses.

Quarterly Domestic Life Insurance & Retirement Services Results
Domestic Life Insurance & Retirement Services reported an increase in pre-tax income before net realized capital losses in the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 primarily due to the following:
Partially offsetting these increases was an increase in policyholder benefits and claims incurred as a result of less favorable insurance mortality experience.
Pre-tax income for Domestic Life and Retirement Services reflected significantly higher levels of net realized capital losses principally from a $720 million increase from the change in fair value of embedded derivative liabilities, net of economic hedges, driven by negative equity market conditions and declines in long-term interest rates.

American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Pre-tax income for Domestic Life Insurance & Retirement Services reflected higher levels of net realized capital losses principally from an increase of $1.2 billion related to derivative fair value losses on interest rate and foreign exchange derivatives, net of foreign exchange transactions, used to economically hedge the effect of interest rate and foreign exchange movements on GIC reserves. Net realized capital losses were also higher due to a $672 million increase from the change in fair value of embedded derivative liabilities, net of economic hedges, driven by negative equity market conditions and declines in long-term interest rates. These increases in realized capital losses were partially offset by lower other-than-temporary impairment charges of $1.5 billion and lower provisions for loan losses.

Quarterly Domestic Life Insurance Results
Domestic Life Insurance pre-tax income before net realized capital losses increased in the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 due to higher Net investment income, including a $47 million increase in partnership income and a $72 million increase in the fair value of the interest in ML II. Partially offsetting these increases was an increase in Policyholder benefits and claims incurred as a result of less favorable life insurance mortality experience.
Domestic Life Insurance premiums and other considerations declined primarily due to lower fee income as a result of a decline in life insurance in force. Policy acquisition and other insurance expenses declined primarily due to restructuring expenses incurred in the three-month period ended June 30, 2009.

Year-to-Date Domestic Life Insurance Results

Total Domestic Life Insurance sales and deposits decreased in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 primarily due to lower fixed annuity deposits, life insurance premiums and the sale of AIG Life Canada in 2009, partially offset by increased payout annuity sales. Sales and deposits were essentially unchanged excluding the impact of the Canada disposition. Fixed annuity sales declined as a result of the low interest rate environment while life insurance premiums decreased primarily due to lower Domestic Life Insurance financial strength ratings.

American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Group Retirement deposits increased for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 primarily due to increases in non-periodic deposits driven by a continued focus on the sales of fixed annuities through the career and independent distribution channels and the negative AIG publicity in 2009 which adversely affected 2009 deposits. Individual fixed annuity deposits increased primarily due to bank partner reinstatements and to negative AIG publicity in 2009 which adversely affected 2009 deposits. Variable annuity sales increased due to competitive product enhancements, reinstatements at a number of key broker-dealers and increased wholesaler productivity.
Surrender rates have improved compared to the prior year for group retirement products, individual fixed annuities and individual variable annuities as surrenders have returned to more normal levels.

Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services Operations
AIG's Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services operations include insurance and investment-oriented products such as whole and term life, investment linked, universal life and endowments, personal accident and health products, group products including pension, life and health, and fixed annuities. The Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services products are sold through independent producers, career agents, financial institutions and direct marketing channels.
In managing its Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services businesses, AIG analyzes the operating performance of each business using pre-tax income (loss) before net realized capital gains (losses).

However, AIG believes that the presentation of pre-tax income (loss) before net realized capital gains (losses) enhances the understanding of the operating performance of the Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services businesses by highlighting the results from ongoing operations and the underlying profitability of its businesses. The reconciliations to pre-tax income are provided in the table that follows.
Following the classification of ALICO and Nan Shan as discontinued operations (see Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), AIG's remaining Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services operations are conducted through AIA, AIRCO (together Asia), AIG Star Life Insurance Co. Ltd (AIG Star) and AIG Edison Life Insurance Company (AIG Edison) (together Japan).

Quarterly Asia Results
Premiums and other considerations increased in the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 due to the favorable effect of foreign exchange shown above as well as higher in-force business as a result of improvement in persistency from Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and China. Net investment income decreased compared to the same period in 2009 due to a $1.3 billion decline in policyholder trading gains. Net investment income, excluding policyholder trading gains, increased due to higher levels of invested assets and market improvement.
Pre-tax income before net realized capital gains increased significantly in the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 largely due to the factors mentioned above as well as:
This improvement was partially offset by an increase in the long-term incentive program provision and deconsolidation of a divested entity in Indonesia.
Pre-tax income included an increase in net realized capital gains and reflected a significant decline in other-than-temporary impairment charges.
Year-to-Date Asia Results
Premiums and other considerations increased in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 due to higher in-force business as a result of improvement in persistency in key Asian markets and higher sales volumes in the first six months of 2010. Net investment income decreased compared to the same period in 2009 due to a $1.3 billion decline in policyholder trading gains. Net investment income, excluding policyholder trading gains, increased due to increased holding in longer dated bonds in Korea and higher dividend income in Thailand.
Pre-tax income before net realized capital gains increased significantly in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 largely due to the factors mentioned above as well as:
These increases were partially offset by a surrender gain and a business tax refund in China in 2009.
Pre-tax income included an increase in net realized capital gains and reflected a significant decline in other-than-temporary impairment charges.

Quarterly Asia Results
First year premium sales increased in the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 on a U.S. dollar basis and declined slightly on original currency basis. Ordinary individual life insurance products contributed over 40 percent of first year insurance sales with a shift from group products to investment-oriented life insurance products as market volatility decreased. Strong first year insurance sales in Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, China and Indonesia were partially offset by a decline in Australia, as new business sales returned to normal following the successful acquisition of a few large corporate customers last year, while Korea's first year sales performance was depressed as competition in the direct marketing channel intensified.
Single premium sales declined in the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 on both a U.S. dollar basis and original currency basis compared to the same period in 2009 as Thailand single premium sales were severely affected by the recent political unrest. This decline more than offset increased single premium sales in Singapore and the Philippines.
Annuity deposits increased in the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 on both a U.S. dollar basis and original currency basis compared to the same period in 2009 due to a successful promotion campaign on fixed annuity deposits in Korea.
Year-to-Date Asia Results
First year premium sales increased in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 on both a U.S. dollar basis and original currency basis compared to the same period in 2009 as sales continued to focus on ordinary individual life insurance products in Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and China as economic growth solidified and broadened across Asia markets. The increase in investment-oriented life insurance sales in Hong Kong was nearly offset by declines in Korea due to re-pricing of investment-oriented life insurance products.
Single premium sales increased in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 on both a U.S. dollar basis and original currency basis compared to the same period in 2009 reflecting increased demand for investment-linked products in Asia as market volatility declined and investors' sentiments improved, in particular in Singapore, Korea and the Philippines.
Annuity deposits increased in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 on both a U.S. dollar basis and original currency basis compared to the same period in 2009 due to significantly increased fixed annuity deposits in Korea.

Quarterly Japan Results
Premiums and other considerations increased primarily as a result of translation effects due to the Yen strengthening against the U.S. dollar in 2010 compared to 2009.
Pre-tax income before net realized capital losses decreased in the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 primarily due to a reduction in partnership and mutual fund income as well as the continuing impact of lower in-force business and lower surrender gains in 2010 versus 2009 as lapses trended down towards pre-crisis levels.
Net realized capital losses in the second quarter of 2010 include an out of period charge of $181 million relating to foreign currency translation. Excluding this charge, foreign currency translation gains were recognized in the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to significant losses in the same period in 2009 as the value of the Yen strengthened against non-functional currencies in 2010 compared to 2009.
Year-to-Date Japan Results
Pre-tax income before net realized capital losses decreased in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 due to the continuing impact of lower in-force business and lower surrender gains in 2010 versus 2009 as lapses trended down towards pre-crisis levels and a reduction in the DAC benefit, net of unearned revenue liability, related to lower realized capital losses in 2010 compared to a year ago.
Net realized capital losses declined in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 due to lower other-than-temporary impairment charges and a decrease in foreign currency translation losses as the value of the Japanese Yen strengthened against non functional currencies in the current year while the value of the Japanese Yen weakened against non functional currencies in 2009.
In managing the Japan operations, management analyzes sales performance on an annualized new business premium basis. Annualized new business premiums represent the amount of premium expected to be collected over a twelve month period and also include ten percent of first year premiums or deposits from single pay products.

Life sales increased in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 as production in the face to face channels is recovering after the financial crisis. Medical sales growth was supported by the launch of new products early in 2010, resulting in increased sales by both the captive agent and independent producer channels. Annuity sales increased due to a high rate of recapture of maturing annuities driven by a strong Yen exchange rate, and by gradually improving sales from banks that had previously suspended sales of products of AIG Star and AIG Edison.
Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs
DAC for Life Insurance & Retirement Services products arises from the deferral of costs that vary with, and are directly related to, the acquisition of new or renewal business. Policy acquisition costs for life insurance products are generally deferred and amortized over the premium paying period. Policy acquisition costs that relate to universal life and investment-type products are generally deferred and amortized, with interest in relation to the incidence of estimated gross profits to be realized over the estimated lives of the contracts. Value of Business Acquired (VOBA) is determined at the time of acquisition and is reported on the consolidated balance sheet with DAC and amortized over the life of the business similar to DAC.
The following table summarizes the major components of the changes in DAC/VOBA:

As AIG operates in various global markets, the estimated gross profits used to amortize DAC and VOBA are subject to differing market returns and interest rate environments in any single period. The combination of market returns and interest rates may lead to acceleration of amortization in some products and regions and simultaneous deceleration of amortization in other products and regions.
DAC and VOBA for insurance-oriented, investment-oriented and retirement services products are reviewed for recoverability, which involves estimating the future profitability of current business. This review involves significant management judgment. If actual future profitability is substantially lower than estimated, AIG's DAC and VOBA may be subject to an impairment charge and AIG's results of operations could be significantly affected in future periods.
AIG's Financial Services subsidiaries engage in diversified activities including aircraft leasing, capital markets, and consumer finance and insurance premium finance. Together, the Aircraft Leasing, Capital Markets and Consumer Finance operations generate the majority of the revenues produced by the Financial Services operations.
AIG's Aircraft Leasing operations are the operations of ILFC, which generates its revenues primarily from leasing new and used commercial jet aircraft to foreign and domestic airlines. Revenues also result from the remarketing of commercial jet aircraft for ILFC's own account, and remarketing and fleet management services for airlines and other aircraft fleet owners.
Capital Markets represents the operations of AIGFP, which engaged as principal in a wide variety of financial transactions, including standard and customized financial products involving commodities, credit, currencies, energy, equities and interest rates. AIGFP also invests in a diversified portfolio of securities and engaged in borrowing activities that involve issuing standard and structured notes and other securities and entering into GIAs. AIGFP has continued to unwind its businesses and portfolios, including those associated with credit protection written through credit default swaps on super senior risk tranches of diversified pools of loans and debt securities. See Liquidity of Parent and Subsidiaries Financial Services AIGFP Wind-down.
Historically, AIG's Capital Markets operations derived a significant portion of their revenues from hedged financial positions entered into in connection with counterparty transactions. AIGFP has also participated as a dealer in a wide variety of financial derivatives transactions. Revenues and pre-tax income of the Capital Markets operations and the percentage change in these amounts for any given period are significantly affected by changes in the fair value of AIGFP's assets and liabilities and by the number, size and profitability of transactions entered into during that period relative to those entered into during the comparative period.
AIG's Consumer Finance operations in North America are principally conducted through AGF. AGF derives most of its revenues from finance charges assessed on real estate loans, secured and unsecured non-real estate loans and retail sales finance receivables.
AIG's foreign consumer finance operations are principally conducted through AIGCFG. AIGCFG operates primarily in emerging and developing markets. At June 30, 2010, AIGCFG had operations in Poland, Taiwan and India. During 2009 and through July 30, 2010, AIG has completed the sale of the AIGCFG operations in Argentina, China, Colombia, Thailand, the Philippines, Mexico, Hong Kong, Brazil, Russia, Taiwan and its banking business in Poland. AIG has also entered into contracts to sell the AIGCFG operations in India.

Quarterly Capital Markets Results
AIGFP reported a higher pre-tax loss in the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. Interest expense on intercompany borrowings and the effect on operating results related to the continued wind-down of AIGFP's portfolios were lower during the second quarter of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. AIGFP also had positive results related to the effect of changes in credit spreads on the valuation of its assets and liabilities. These positive results were offset by lower market valuation gains related to its super senior credit default swap portfolio of $161 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to a gain of $636 million for the same period in 2009. For a further discussion, see Executive Overview 2010 Business Outlook Financial Services Capital Markets.

AIGFP's pre-tax loss in the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 includes a net gain representing the effect of changes in credit spreads on the valuation of AIGFP's assets and liabilities, including $23 million of gains reflected in the unrealized market valuation gain on super senior credit default swaps. The gain was primarily the result of the widening of AIG's credit spreads during the second quarter and the continued tightening of spreads on asset-backed securities and CDOs, which represent a significant segment of AIGFP's investment portfolio.

AIGFP's pre-tax loss in the three-month period ended June 30, 2009 includes a net loss representing the effect of changes in credit spreads on the valuation of AIGFP's assets and liabilities, including $17 million of losses reflected in the unrealized market valuation loss on super senior credit default swaps. The loss in the second quarter of 2009 was primarily the result of narrowing of AIG's credit spreads, partially offset by the narrowing of corporate credit spreads.
Year-to-Date Capital Markets Results
AIGFP reported a lower pre-tax loss in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 primarily due to the significant decrease in both interest expense on intercompany borrowings and the effect on operating results related to the continued wind-down of AIGFP's portfolios along with a larger market valuation gain in 2010 compared to 2009 on its super senior credit default swap portfolio. These positive results were partially offset by the significant decrease related to the net effect of changes in credit spreads on the valuation of AIGFP's assets and liabilities. For a further discussion, see Executive Overview 2010 Business Outlook Financial Services Capital Markets.

AIGFP's pre-tax loss in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 includes a net gain representing the effect of changes in credit spreads on the valuation of AIGFP's assets and liabilities, including $90 million of losses reflected in the unrealized market valuation gain on super senior credit default swaps. The gain was primarily the result of tightening of spreads on asset-backed securities and CDOs, which represent a significant segment of AIGFP's investment portfolio partially offset by the effect on liabilities of the tightening of AIG's credit spreads since December 31, 2009.
AIGFP's pre-tax loss in the six-month period ended June 30, 2009 includes a net gain representing the effect of changes in credit spreads on the valuation of AIGFP's assets and liabilities, including $89 million of gains reflected in the unrealized market valuation loss on super senior credit default swaps. The gain in the six-month period ended June 30, 2009 was primarily the result of significant widening in AIG's credit spreads since December 31, 2008 offset by the impact of continued widening of spreads on asset-backed securities and CDOs.
AIG's Other operations includes results from Parent & Other operations, after allocations to AIG's business segments, and results from other businesses.
AIG's Parent & Other operations consist primarily of interest expense, intercompany interest income that is eliminated in consolidation, restructuring costs, expenses of corporate staff not attributable to specific reportable segments, expenses related to efforts to improve internal controls, corporate initiatives, certain compensation plan expenses, corporate level net realized capital gains and losses, certain litigation related charges and net gains and losses on sale of divested businesses.
Noncore businesses include results of certain businesses that have been divested or are being wound down or repositioned.

Parent & Other
Parent & Other pre-tax loss decreased in the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 due primarily to a decline in interest expense on the FRBNY Credit Facility as discussed in Consolidated Results Interest Expense and a net gain on sales of divested businesses in 2010 shown in the table below, which included the $228 million termination fee related to the AIA transaction, compared to losses in 2009.
This improvement was partially offset by lower interest income on intercompany loans, which is eliminated in consolidation, higher unallocated expenses, reflecting an increase in securities litigation related charges, and the reclassification of ML III to Other businesses in the second quarter of 2009.
Parent & Other pre-tax loss decreased in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 primarily due to the following:

Mortgage Guaranty
The main business of the subsidiaries of UGC is the issuance of residential mortgage guaranty insurance, both domestically and internationally, that covers the first loss for credit defaults on high loan-to-value conventional first-lien mortgages for the purchase or refinance of one- to four-family residences.
Quarterly Mortgage Guaranty Results
Mortgage Guaranty reported pre-tax income in the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to a pre-tax loss in the same period in 2009. This improvement reflected a decline in claim and claims adjustment expenses incurred of $806 million. Domestic first-lien, second-lien and international businesses reported pre-tax income of $90 million, $117 million and $30 million respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2010 which was $329 million, $283 million and $101 million higher, respectively, than the three months ended June 30, 2009. The improvement in pre-tax income reflects the decline in loss and loss expenses of $410 million for first-liens, $291 million for second liens and $108 million for international markets. The lower claims and claims adjustment expenses include favorable prior year development of $232 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to unfavorable prior year development of $222 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009. The improved pre-tax results correspond to lower levels of newly reported delinquencies in the first-lien, second-lien and international products, higher mortgage cure rates on existing first-lien and international delinquent loans and the recognition of stop loss limits on certain second-lien policies.
UGC, like other participants in the mortgage insurance industry, has provided services to assist lenders during times of high loan origination activity. In providing these services UGC assumed certain obligations associated with loans on which these services were provided. During the three months ended June 30, 2010 UGC determined that these types of expenses from legacy books of business were increasing and accordingly UGC has increased the provision for these expenses by $64 million to reflect UGC's best estimate of the expected ultimate costs associated with these services. UGC will continue to closely monitor these occurrences and will adjust the provision for these obligations accordingly.
Year-to-Date Mortgage Guaranty Results
Mortgage Guaranty reported pre-tax income in the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to a pre-tax loss in the same period in 2009. This improvement reflected a decline in claim and claims adjustment expenses incurred of $1.6 billion, offset in part by an amortization of the second-lien premium deficiency reserve of $222 million in the first quarter of 2009. Domestic first-lien, second-lien and international businesses reported
162
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
pre-tax income of $110 million, $184 million and $35 million respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2010 which was $752 million, $387 million and $132 million higher, respectively, than the six months ended June 30, 2009. The improvement in pre-tax income reflects the decline in loss and loss expenses of $824 million for first-liens, $634 million for second liens and $154 million for international markets. The lower claims and claims adjustment expenses include favorable prior year development of $464 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to unfavorable prior year development of $129 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009. The improved pre-tax results correspond to lower levels of newly reported delinquencies in the first-lien, second-lien and international products, higher mortgage cure rates on existing first-lien and international delinquent loans and the recognition of stop loss limits on certain second-lien policies.
UGC continues to deny claims and rescind coverage on loans (collectively referred to as rescissions) due to fraudulent or undocumented claims, underwriting guideline violations and other deviations from contractual terms, mostly related to the 2006 and 2007 vintage books of business. These policy violations have resulted in loan rescissions totaling $146 million of claims on first-lien business during the second quarter of 2010 compared to $58 million during the first quarter of 2010. UGC expects this increased rescission activity to continue during 2010, but at a slowing rate. These rescissions will continue to affect UGC's financial results, but the UGC cannot reasonably estimate the ultimate financial impact. AIG believes it has provided appropriate reserves for currently delinquent loans, consistent with industry practice.
UGC's domestic first-lien mortgage risk in force totaled $25.9 billion as of June 30, 2010 and the 60+ day delinquency ratio on primary loans was 18.5 percent (based on number of policies, consistent with mortgage industry practice) compared to domestic first-lien mortgage risk in force of $26.7 billion and a delinquency ratio of 14.0 percent at June 30, 2009.
The second-lien risk in force at June 30, 2010 totaled $2.4 billion compared to $2.7 billion of risk in force at June 30, 2009. Risk in force represents the full amount of second-lien loans insured reduced for contractual aggregate loss limits on certain pools of loans, usually 10 percent of the full amount of loans insured in each pool. Certain second-lien pools have reinstatement provisions.
UGC, like other participants in the mortgage insurance industry, has made claims against various counterparties in relation to alleged underwriting failures, and received similar claims from counterparties. These claims and counterclaims allege breach of contract, breach of good faith and fraud among other allegations.
Dispositions
In December 2009, UGC entered into two stock purchase agreements for the sale of its Canadian and Israel operations. The Israel transaction closed on January 21, 2010 and the Canadian transaction closed on April 16, 2010.
Change in Fair Value of ML III
Gains on ML III for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 were $358 million and $1.1 billion, respectively. The improvement in the fair value of AIG's investment in ML III was attributable to the shortening of weighted average life by 1.14 years and 1.53 years for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010, respectively. Additionally, fair values for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 were positively affected by a decrease in projected credit losses in the underlying collateral securities.
For the three months ended June 30, 2010, credit spreads widened by 43 basis points which resulted in an overall narrowing of credit spreads by 85 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
Noncore Asset Management Operations
AIG's Noncore Asset Management operations include the results of the MIP program and the Institutional Asset Management businesses, which includes AIG's internal asset management business as well as AIG Global
163
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Real Estate and AIG Markets. AIG Markets acts as a derivative intermediary transacting with AIG and its subsidiaries and the third parties.
On March 26, 2010, AIG completed the sale of its third party asset management business. The results of operations from January 1 through the closing of the sale are included in the Institutional Asset Management results. Subsequent to the sale of AIG's third party asset management business, the revenues of the Institutional Asset Management business (excluding AIG Global Real Estate) are derived from providing asset management services to AIG and its subsidiaries. Both AIG Global Real Estate and the MIP's operating results are impacted by performance in the credit, equity and real estate markets.
The MIP reported a pre-tax loss in the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to pre-tax income in the same period of 2009 primarily due to losses from the discontinuation of hedge accounting. Economic hedging relationships are being retained despite the discontinuation of hedge accounting.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, MIP reported a lower pre-tax operating loss compared to the same period in 2009 due to significantly lower other-than-temporary impairments on fixed maturity investments primarily from the improved credit environment and foreign exchange related gains driven by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar. The results were also affected by the discontinuation of hedge accounting in the first quarter of 2010 as a result of the novation of certain intercompany derivative transactions with AIGFP to another AIG subsidiary, AIG Markets. These novations were done in conjunction with the wind-down of AIGFP. The discontinuation of hedge accounting resulted in additional income statement volatility which will continue for the foreseeable future until hedge accounting is reestablished. Residual balances from de-designated hedges will be amortized prospectively into operating income.
AIG enters into derivative arrangements to hedge the effect of changes in currency and interest rates associated with the fixed and floating rate and foreign currency denominated obligations issued under these programs. The MIP, which is currently in run-off, has entered into CDS contracts as a writer of protection, with the intention of earning spread income on credit exposure in an unfunded form. The portfolio of CDS contracts were single-name exposures and, at inception, were predominantly high grade corporate credits.
Institutional Asset Management Results
Institutional Asset Management recognized lower pre-tax losses in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 resulting from the sale and deconsolidation of the operating results of AIG's third party asset management business and certain previously consolidated private equity investments. Also contributing to the current quarter decline in operating losses is the positive impact of AIG's widening credit spreads on the valuation of derivative liabilities held through AIG Markets as well as a decline in impairments on proprietary real estate investments.
Real estate impairments of $261 million and $570 million during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010, respectively, were incurred in the direct investment portfolio as well as through real estate joint ventures as a result of continued pressure on real estate values, occupancy rates and leasing activity. Approximately $19 million and $56 million during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010, respectively, of these impairments was included in noncontrolling interests, which is not part of pre-tax income (loss). The lack of availability of refinancing and constraints surrounding capital availability has caused management to reduce the estimated time period before sale for certain investments, resulting in impairments.
Noncore Insurance Businesses
Noncore insurance businesses include the operating results of the following divested businesses through the date of their sale.
164
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Transatlantic offers reinsurance capacity on both a treaty and facultative basis both in the U.S. and abroad. Transatlantic structures programs for a full range of property and casualty products with an emphasis on specialty risk.
On June 10, 2009, AIG closed a secondary public offering of 29.9 million shares of Transatlantic common stock owned directly and indirectly by AIG for aggregate gross proceeds of $1.1 billion. At the close of the public offering, AIG indirectly retained 13.9 percent of the Transatlantic common stock issued and outstanding. As a result, AIG deconsolidated Transatlantic, which resulted in a $1.4 billion reduction in Noncontrolling interests, a component of Total equity. On March 15, 2010, AIG closed a secondary public offering of 8,466,693 shares of Transatlantic common stock owned by American Home Assurance Company, a subsidiary of AIG, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $452 million.
On July 1, 2009, AIG closed the sale of 21st Century Insurance Group and the Agency Auto Division (excluding AIG Private Client Group).
On March 31, 2009, AIG closed the sale of HSB, the parent company of the Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the application of accounting policies that often involve a significant degree of judgment. AIG considers its accounting policies that are most dependent on the application of estimates and assumptions, and therefore viewed as critical accounting estimates, to be those relating to items considered by management in the determination of:
These accounting estimates require the use of assumptions about matters, some of which are highly uncertain at the time of estimation. To the extent actual experience differs from the assumptions used, AIG's financial condition and results of operations would be directly affected. Following is a discussion of updates to Critical Accounting Estimates during 2010. For a complete discussion of AIG's accounting estimates, see the 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Allowance for Finance Receivable Losses
AGF estimates its allowance for finance receivable losses primarily using migration analysis and the Monte Carlo technique applied to sub-portfolios of large numbers of relatively small homogenous accounts. Both techniques are historically-based statistical techniques that attempt to predict the future amount of losses for existing pools of finance receivables. AGF adjusts the amounts determined by migration and Monte Carlo for AGF management's estimate of the effects of model imprecision, any changes to its underwriting criteria, portfolio seasoning, and current economic conditions, including the levels of unemployment and personal bankruptcies.
AGF uses its internal data of net charge-offs and delinquency by sub-portfolio as the basis to determine the historical loss experience component of its allowance for finance receivable losses. AGF used monthly bankruptcy statistics, monthly unemployment statistics, and various other monthly or periodic economic statistics published by departments of the U.S. government and other economic statistics providers to determine the economic component of its allowance for finance receivable losses.
AGF also establishes troubled debt restructuring (TDR) reserves for impaired loans, which are included in its allowance for finance receivable losses. The allowance for finance receivable losses related to AGF's TDRs is calculated in homogeneous aggregated pools of impaired loans that have common risk characteristics. AGF establishes its allowance for finance receivable losses related to its TDRs by calculating the present value (discounted at the loan's effective interest rate prior to modification) of all expected cash flows less the recorded investment in the aggregated pool. AGF uses certain assumptions to estimate the expected cash flows from its TDRs. The primary assumptions for AGF's model are prepayment speeds, default rates, and severity rates.
Allowance for Mortgage and Other Loan Losses
AIG evaluates its mortgage and other loans on either a loan specific basis or a portfolio basis by grouping loans with homogeneous characteristics in accordance with existing allowance for loan loss and credit monitoring policies. Loans that are significant are placed on watch lists due to credit, market or collateral value concerns and are evaluated independently for allowance purposes. Loans are placed on watch lists upon consideration of the realizable value of collateral, the borrower's overall financial condition, resources and payment record, the present value of future cash flows discounted at the loan's original effective rate and the prospects of support from financially responsible guarantors. Allowances for specific loans are measured based on the present value of future expected cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate subject to consideration of the fair value of underlying collateral. Any loan subject to a specific allowance is not included in the portfolio reserve population.
Loans that are evaluated for impairment on a portfolio basis are done so based on statistical loss estimates. Loans are categorized based on homogeneous characteristics including risk rating, vintage, maturity date, type of loan or collateral, loan to value ratio and debt service coverage. Assumptions about defaults are applied to each portfolio based on management's estimate of historical default and recovery rates using internal and market observable data relative to the characteristics of the portfolio. In addition, assumptions are made regarding changes in value of underlying collateral based on the most current observable market data. The application of such assumptions to each portfolio results in a general valuation allowance to the extent the attributes of each portfolio fall within the designated parameters. Such parameters are analyzed and approved for each reporting period by AIG's Enterprise Risk Management group.
Goodwill is the excess of the cost of an acquired business over the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquired business. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred.
The impairment assessment involves a two-step process in which an initial assessment for potential impairment is performed and, if potential impairment is present, the amount of impairment is measured (if any) and recorded. Impairment is tested at the reporting unit level.
Management initially assesses the potential for impairment by estimating the fair value of each of AIG's reporting units and comparing the estimated fair values with the carrying amounts of those reporting units,
166
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
including allocated goodwill. The estimate of a reporting unit's fair value may be based on one or a combination of approaches including market-based earning multiples of the unit's peer companies, discounted expected future cash flows, external appraisals or, in the case of reporting units being considered for sale, third-party indications of fair value, if available. Management considers one or more of these estimates when determining the fair value of a reporting unit to be used in the impairment test. As part of the impairment test, management compares the sum of the estimated fair values of all of AIG's reporting units with AIG's market capitalization as a basis for concluding on the reasonableness of the estimated reporting unit fair values.
If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is not impaired. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, goodwill associated with that reporting unit potentially is impaired. The amount of impairment, if any, is measured as the excess of the carrying value of goodwill over the estimated fair value of the goodwill. The estimated fair value of the goodwill is measured as the excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the amounts that would be assigned to the reporting unit's assets and liabilities in a hypothetical business combination. An impairment charge is recognized in earnings to the extent of the excess.
In connection with the announced sale of ALICO on March 7, 2010 and management's decision that ALICO met the held-for-sale criteria on March 31, 2010, total goodwill of $4.6 billion associated with the Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services Japan operating segment through that date was allocated among ALICO and the Japan businesses to be retained (retained reporting unit) based on their relative fair values as of March 31, 2010. This resulted in $3.3 billion and $1.3 billion of goodwill being allocated to ALICO and the retained reporting unit, respectively for the purpose of assessing goodwill impairment. Management tested goodwill for impairment in both reporting units and determined the fair values of ALICO and the retained reporting unit exceeded book value at March 31, 2010, by 1 percent and 51 percent, respectively, and, therefore, the goodwill of these reporting units was considered not impaired.
The fair value of ALICO used to test goodwill for impairment at March 31, 2010 was determined by AIG by considering, among other information, a third-party valuation at March 31, 2010 of the announced proceeds from the sale of ALICO to MetLife. Given the significance of the equity component of the consideration, the fair value of ALICO is sensitive to the market value and volatility of MetLife common stock, the risk-free interest rate yield curve and discount rate assumptions used in estimating fair value. Because the market value of MetLife's common stock declined 13 percent at June 30, 2010 compared with March 31, 2010, AIG updated its goodwill impairment test for ALICO. At June 30, 2010, AIG estimated the fair value of ALICO and determined the fair value of ALICO to be less than its carrying value. Accordingly, AIG performed the second step of the goodwill impairment analysis and estimated the implied fair value of the goodwill allocated to ALICO by measuring the excess of the estimated fair value of ALICO over the amounts that would be assigned to ALICO's assets and liabilities in a hypothetical business combination. Based on the results of the goodwill impairment test, AIG determined that all of the goodwill allocated to ALICO should be impaired and, accordingly, recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $3.3 billion in the second quarter of 2010.
There were no events that warranted an update of the fair value of the retained reporting unit at June 30, 2010. As a result of earnings, the book value of the Japan businesses to be retained increased to $4.8 billion at June 30, 2010, such that the March 31, 2010 fair value of the retained reporting unit exceeded its June 30, 2010 book value by 30 percent. AIG will continue to monitor overall competitive, business and economic conditions, and other events or circumstances, including the operating results and level of net assets of the Japan operating segment that, more likely than not, could reduce the fair value of the Japan operating segment below its carrying amount. It is possible that such future conditions or events might result in an impairment of a portion or all of the $1.2 billion of goodwill remaining in the Japan operating segment in the future.
Valuation Allowance on Deferred Tax Assets:
At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, AIG had a net deferred tax asset after valuation allowance of $5.5 billion and $5.9 billion, respectively. A valuation allowance is established, if necessary, to reduce the deferred tax asset to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized (a likelihood of more than 50 percent). Realization of AIG's net deferred tax asset depends upon its ability to generate gains on asset sales, including from the divestitures of AIA and ALICO and tax planning strategies that would be implemented, if necessary, to
167
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
protect against the loss of the deferred tax asset, but does not depend on projected future operating income for AIG's U.S. consolidated income tax group.
When making its assessment about the realization of its deferred tax asset at June 30, 2010, AIG considered all available evidence, including:
Estimates of future gains generated from specific transactions and tax planning strategies could change in the near term, perhaps materially, which may require AIG to adjust its valuation allowance. Such adjustment, either positive or negative, could be material to AIG's consolidated financial condition or its results of operations for an individual reporting period.
When estimating the fair values of the subsidiaries to be divested, AIG considered, among other information, valuations prepared for various purposes. During the first quarter of 2010, AIG increased its estimate of the AIA and ALICO expected divestiture proceeds following an updated assessment of the range of valuation estimates that considered, among other factors, the expected proceeds from the sales to Prudential plc and MetLife, Inc. announced in that quarter, which gave rise to the $910 million reduction in the valuation allowance. As discussed in Note 1 herein, on June 2, 2010, AIG and Prudential plc terminated the AIA transaction. Because AIG is continuing with its plans to divest AIA, this termination did not affect the amount of deferred tax asset expected to be realized in connection with the planned divestiture of AIA. This determination was based on an updated assessment of the expected gain and considered a range of possible outcomes associated with alternative divestiture strategies, including an initial public offering.
U.S. Income Taxes on Earnings of Certain Foreign Subsidiaries:
Due to the complexity of the U.S. federal income tax laws involved in determining the amount of income taxes related to differences between book carrying value and tax basis of subsidiaries, as well as the level of judgment and reliance on reasonable assumptions and estimates in calculating this liability, AIG considers the U.S. federal income taxes accrued on the earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries to be a critical accounting estimate.
Measurement of the Fair Values of the Assets Acquired, Liabilities Assumed, and Noncontrolling Interests of Fuji
On March 31, 2010, AIG, through a Chartis International subsidiary, purchased additional voting shares in Fuji. The acquisition of the additional voting shares for $145 million increased Chartis' total voting ownership interest in Fuji from 41.7 percent to 54.8 percent, which resulted in Chartis obtaining control of Fuji.
Because the acquisition was completed on the last day of the quarter, the initial accounting for the acquisition was incomplete when AIG issued its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The initial purchase price allocation was based on the information that was available at the time to identify and estimate certain of the fair values of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests of Fuji as of the acquisition date. Fuji's financial information is reported to Chartis on a quarter lag. As such, Chartis was awaiting additional information necessary to finalize the purchase price allocation as of the acquisition date. Furthermore, at the time, Chartis had not obtained final appraisals of Fuji's insurance contracts, loans, certain real estate or intangible assets.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2010 Chartis completed the accounting for the acquisition and retrospectively adjusted the provisional amounts initially recorded. Chartis obtained the additional information necessary to finalize the purchase price allocation as of the acquisition date including final appraisals of Fuji's insurance contracts, loans, certain real estate or intangible assets. Adjustments to the revised purchase price
168
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
allocation as of March 31, 2010 may occur if new information becomes known about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognized as of that date.
The acquisition resulted in a bargain purchase gain of approximately $406 million, which is included in Other Income in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss). AIG will retrospectively revise its results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 when presenting comparative financial information containing that period. The bargain purchase gain is primarily attributable to the depressed market value of Fuji's common stock, which AIG believes is the result of macro-economic, capital market and regulatory factors in Japan coupled with Fuji's financial condition and results of operations. AIG anticipates that the bargain purchase gain will not be subject to U.S. or foreign income tax because the gain would only be recognized for tax purposes upon the sale of the Fuji shares.
See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Level 3 Assets and Liabilities
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheet are classified in a hierarchy for disclosure purposes consisting of three "levels" based on the observability of inputs available in the marketplace used to measure the fair value. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about the three levels of observability.
At June 30, 2010, AIG classified $38.4 billion and $11.7 billion of assets and liabilities, respectively, measured at fair value on a recurring basis as Level 3. This represented 4.5 percent and 1.6 percent of the total assets and liabilities, respectively, at June 30, 2010. At December 31, 2009, AIG classified $38.9 billion and $13.9 billion of assets and liabilities, respectively, measured at fair value on a recurring basis as Level 3. This represented 4.6 percent and 1.9 percent of the total assets and liabilities, respectively, at December 31, 2009. Level 3 fair value measurements are based on valuation techniques that use at least one significant input that is unobservable. These measurements are made under circumstances in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. AIG's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment.

American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
In making the assessment, AIG considers factors specific to the asset or liability. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value of an asset or a liability may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety is classified is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
Refer to Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of transfers of Level 3 assets and liabilities.
Valuation of Level 3 Assets and Liabilities
AIG values its assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 using judgment and valuation models or other pricing techniques that require a variety of inputs including contractual terms, market prices and rates, yield curves, credit curves, measures of volatility, prepayment rates and correlations of such inputs, some of which may be unobservable. The following paragraphs describe the methods AIG uses to measure on a recurring basis the fair value of the major classes of assets and liabilities classified in Level 3.
Private equity and real estate fund investments: These assets initially are valued at the transaction price, i.e., the price paid to acquire the asset. Subsequently, they are measured based on net asset value using information provided by the general partner or manager of these investments, the accounts of which generally are audited on an annual basis. AIG considers observable market data and performs diligence procedures in validating the appropriateness of using the net asset value as a fair value measurement.
Corporate bonds and private placement debt: These assets initially are valued at the transaction price. Subsequently, they are valued using market data for similar instruments (e.g., recent transactions, bond spreads or credit default swap spreads). When observable price quotations are not available, fair value is determined based on cash flow models using yield curves observed from indices or credit default swap spreads.
Certain RMBS and CMBS: These assets initially are valued at the transaction price. Subsequently, they may be valued by comparison to transactions in instruments with similar collateral and risk profiles considering remittances received and updated cumulative loss data on underlying obligations, or discounted cash flow techniques.
Certain ABS non-mortgage: These assets initially are valued at the transaction price. Subsequently, they may be valued based on external price/spread data. When position-specific external price data are not observable, the valuation is based on prices of comparable securities.
CDOs: These assets initially are valued at the transaction price. Subsequently, they are valued based on external price/spread data from independent third parties, dealer quotations, matrix pricing, the Binomial Expansion Technique (BET) model or a combination of these methods.
Interests in the Maiden Lane Interests: At their inception, ML II and ML III were valued at the transaction prices of $1 billion and $5 billion, respectively. Subsequently, Maiden Lane Interests are valued using a discounted cash flow methodology that uses the estimated future cash flows of the assets to which the Maiden Lane Interests are entitled and the discount rates applicable to such interests as derived from the fair value of the entire asset pool. The implicit discount rates are calibrated to the changes in the estimated asset values for the underlying assets commensurate with AIG's interests in the capital structure of the respective entities. Estimated cash flows and discount rates used in the valuations are validated, to the extent possible, using market observable information for securities with similar asset pools, structure and terms.
The fair value methodology used assumes that the underlying collateral in the Maiden Lane Interests will continue to be held and generate cash flows into the foreseeable future and does not assume a current liquidation of the assets of the Maiden Lane Interests. Other methodologies employed or assumptions made in determining fair value for these investments could result in amounts that differ significantly from the amounts reported.
Refer to Note 5 for sensitivity analysis disclosures with respect to the Maiden Lane Interests.

AIGFP's Super Senior Credit Default Swap Portfolio: AIGFP wrote credit protection on the super senior risk layer of collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), multi-sector CDOs and diversified portfolios of corporate debt, and prime residential mortgages. In these transactions, AIGFP is at risk of credit performance on the super senior risk layer related to such assets. To a lesser extent, AIGFP also wrote protection on tranches below the super senior risk layer, primarily in respect of regulatory capital relief transactions.
The following table presents the net notional amount, fair value of derivative (asset) liability and unrealized market valuation gain (loss) of the AIGFP super senior credit default swap portfolio, including credit default swaps written on mezzanine tranches of certain regulatory capital relief transactions, by asset class:

Regulatory Capital Portfolio
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, $59.8 billion in net notional amount was terminated or matured at no cost to AIGFP. Through July 30, 2010, AIGFP had also received termination notices with respect to an additional $1.8 billion in net notional amount with an effective termination date in 2010. AIGFP continues to reassess the expected maturity of this portfolio. As of June 30, 2010, AIGFP estimated that the weighted average expected maturity of the portfolio was 2.34 years. AIGFP has not been required to make any payments as part of terminations initiated by counterparties. The regulatory benefit of these transactions for AIGFP's financial institution counterparties is generally derived from the terms of Basel I that existed through the end of 2007 and which is in the process of being replaced by Basel II. It was expected that financial institution counterparties would have transitioned from Basel I to Basel II by the end of the two-year adoption period on December 31, 2009, after which they would have received little or no additional regulatory benefit from these CDS transactions, except in a small number of specific instances. However, in 2009, the Basel Committee announced that it had agreed to keep in place the Basel I capital floors beyond the end of 2009, although it remains to be seen how this extension will be implemented by the various European Central Banking districts. Should certain counterparties continue to receive favorable regulatory capital benefits from these transactions, those counterparties may not exercise their options to terminate the transactions in the expected time frame.
The weighted average expected maturity of the Regulatory Capital Portfolio increased as of June 30, 2010 by approximately one year from December 31, 2009 due to certain counterparties not terminating transactions with a combined net notional amount of $18.3 billion. Where these counterparties continue to have a right to terminate the transaction early, AIGFP has extended the expected maturity dates by one year, which is based on how long AIGFP believes the Basel I extension will be effective. Where the counterparties no longer have the right to terminate early, AIGFP has used the weighted average life of those transactions as their expected maturity. These counterparties in the Corporate Loan and Prime Residential Mortgage portfolios continue to receive favorable regulatory capital benefits as a result of the extension of the Basel I capital floor announced by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and, thus, AIG continues to categorize them as Regulatory Capital transactions.
Included in the Regulatory Capital portfolio are transactions with one counterparty that notified AIG that it would not terminate early two of its Prime Residential Mortgage transactions and a related mezzanine transaction with a combined net notional amount of $25.3 billion that were expected to be terminated in the first quarter of 2010. With respect to these transactions, the counterparty no longer has any rights to terminate the transactions early and is required to pay AIG fees on the original notional amounts reduced only by realized losses through the final contractual maturity. Since the two transactions have weighted average lives that are considerably less than their final contractual maturities, there is value to AIGFP representing counterparty contractual fees to be received beyond the date at which the net notional amounts have fully amortized through to the final contractual maturity date. The fair value of these two super senior transactions as of June 30, 2010 was a derivative asset of $163 million. With respect to these two transactions, AIGFP has also written CDS transactions on the mezzanine tranches of these portfolios; however, the majority of the transactions on the mezzanine tranches were hedged by AIGFP with other third party CDS transactions. The fair value of the net derivative liability for all mezzanine tranches (including hedge transactions) increased from $143 million as of December 31, 2009 to $191 million as of June 30, 2010. For more information on AIGFP collateral calls, see Collateral Calls below.
In light of early termination experience to date and after analyses of other market data, to the extent deemed relevant and available, AIG determined that there was no unrealized market valuation adjustment for any of the transactions in this regulatory capital relief portfolio for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 other than (1) for transactions where AIGFP believes the counterparty is no longer using the transaction to obtain regulatory capital relief as discussed above and (2) for transactions where the counterparty has failed to terminate the transaction early as expected and no longer has any rights to terminate early in the future. Although AIGFP believes the value of contractual fees receivable on these transactions through maturity exceeds the economic benefits of any potential payments to the counterparties, the counterparties' early termination rights, and AIGFP's expectation that such rights will be exercised, preclude the recognition of a derivative asset for these transactions.

All of the regulatory capital CDS transactions directly or indirectly reference tranched pools of large numbers of whole loans that were originated by the financial institution (or its affiliates) receiving the credit protection, rather than structured securities containing loans originated by other third parties. In the vast majority of transactions, the loans are intended to be retained by the originating financial institution and in all cases the originating financial institution is the purchaser of the CDS, either directly or through an intermediary.
As further discussed below, AIGFP receives information monthly or quarterly regarding the performance and credit quality of the underlying referenced assets. AIGFP also obtains other information, such as ratings of the tranches below the super senior risk layer. The nature of the information provided or otherwise available to AIGFP with respect to the underlying assets in each regulatory capital CDS transaction is not consistent across all transactions. Furthermore, in a majority of corporate loan transactions and all of the residential mortgage transactions, the pools are blind, meaning that the identities of the obligors are not disclosed to AIGFP. In addition, although AIGFP receives periodic reports on the underlying asset pools, virtually all of the regulatory capital CDS transactions contain confidentiality restrictions that preclude AIGFP's public disclosure of information relating to the underlying referenced assets. The originating financial institutions, calculation agents or trustees (each a Report Provider) provide periodic reports on all underlying referenced assets as described below, including for those within the blind pools. While much of this information received by AIGFP cannot be aggregated in a comparable way for disclosure purposes because of the confidentiality restrictions and the inconsistency of the information, it does provide a sufficient basis for AIGFP to evaluate the risks of the portfolio and to determine a reasonable estimate of fair value.
For regulatory capital CDS transactions written on underlying pools of corporate loans, AIGFP receives monthly or quarterly updates from one or more Report Providers for each such referenced pool detailing, with respect to the corporate loans comprising such pool, the principal amount outstanding and defaults. In virtually all of these reports, AIGFP also receives information on recoveries and realized losses. AIGFP also receives quarterly stratification tables for each pool incorporating geography, industry and, when not publicly rated, the counterparty's assessment of the credit quality of the underlying corporate loans. Additionally, for a significant majority of these regulatory capital CDS transactions, upon the occurrence of a credit event with respect to any corporate loan included in any such pool, AIG receives a notice detailing the identity or identification number of the borrower, notional amount of such loan and the effective date of such credit event.
Ratings from independent ratings agencies for the underlying assets of the corporate loan portfolio are not universally available, but AIGFP estimates the ratings for the assets not rated by independent agencies by mapping the information obtained from the Report Providers to rating agency criteria. The "Percent Non-Investment Grade" information in the table above is provided as an indication of the nature of loans underlying the transactions, not necessarily as an indicator of relative risk of the CDS transactions, which is determined by the individual transaction structures. For example, Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) loan balances tend to be rated lower than loans to large, well-established enterprises. However, the greater number of loans and the smaller average size of the SME loans mitigate the risk profile of the pools. In addition, the transaction structures reflect AIGFP's assessment of the loan collateral arrangements, expected recovery values, and reserve accounts in determining the level of subordination required to minimize the risk of loss. The percentage of non-investment grade obligations in the underlying pools of corporate loans varies considerably. The two pools containing the highest percentages of non-investment grade obligations, which include all transactions with pools having non-investment grade percentages greater than 40.00 percent, are all granular SME loan pools which benefit from collateral arrangements made by the originating financial institutions and from work out of recoveries by the originating financial institutions. The average number of loans in each pool is over 4,500. This large number of SME loans increases the predictability of the expected loss and lessens the probability that discrete events will have a meaningful impact on the results of the overall pool. These transactions benefit from a tranche junior to it which was still rated AAA by at least two rating agencies at June 30, 2010. Three other pools, with a total net notional amount of $1.9 billion, have non-investment grade percentages greater than 35.00 percent, each with a remaining life to maturity of 15.7 years. These pools have realized losses of 0.16 percent from inception through June 30, 2010 and have current weighted average attachment points of 35.79 percent. Approximately 0.75 percent of the assets underlying the corporate loan transactions are in default.
175
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
The percentage of assets in default by transaction was available for all transactions and ranged from 0.00 percent to 3.34 percent.
For regulatory capital CDS transactions written on underlying pools of residential mortgages, AIGFP receives quarterly reports for each such referenced pool detailing, with respect to the residential mortgages comprising such pool, the aggregate principal amount outstanding, defaults and realized losses. These reports include additional information on delinquencies for the large majority of the transactions and recoveries for substantially all transactions. AIGFP also receives quarterly stratification tables for each pool incorporating geography for the underlying residential mortgages. The stratification tables also include information on remaining term, property use and interest rates for a large majority of the transactions.
Delinquency information for the mortgages underlying the residential mortgage transactions was available on approximately 96.37 percent of the total gross transaction notional amount and mortgages delinquent more than 30 days ranged from 0.06 percent to 3.33 percent, averaging 0.84 percent. For all but three transactions, which comprised less than 2.50 percent of the total gross transaction notional amount, the average default rate (expressed as a percentage of gross transaction notional amount) was 0.23 percent and ranged from 0.00 percent to 2.36 percent. The default rate on the remaining three transactions ranged from 4.38 percent to 17.67 percent. The subordination on these three transactions ranged from 36.01 percent to 50.58 percent.
For all regulatory capital transactions, where the rating agencies directly rate the junior tranches of the pools, AIG monitors the rating agencies' releases for any affirmations or changes in such ratings, as well as any changes in rating methodologies or assumptions used by the rating agencies to the extent available. The tables below show the percentage of regulatory capital CDS transactions where there is an immediately junior tranche that is rated and the average rating of that tranche across all rated transactions.
AIGFP analyzes the information regarding the performance and credit quality of the underlying pools of assets to make its own risk assessment and to determine any changes in credit quality with respect to such pools of assets. This analysis includes a review of changes in pool balances, subordination levels, delinquencies, realized losses, and expected performance under more adverse credit conditions. Using data provided by the Report Providers, and information available from rating agencies, governments, and other public sources that relate to macroeconomic trends and loan performance, AIGFP is able to analyze the expected performance of the overall portfolio because of the large number of loans that comprise the collateral pools.
Given the current performance of the underlying portfolios, the level of subordination and AIGFP's own assessment of the credit quality, as well as the risk mitigants inherent in the transaction structures, AIGFP does not expect that it will be required to make payments pursuant to the contractual terms of those transactions providing regulatory relief. Further, AIGFP expects that counterparties will continue to terminate these transactions prior to their maturity.

In a number of instances, the level of subordination with respect to individual CDOs has increased since inception relative to the overall size of the CDO. While the super senior tranches are amortizing, subordinate layers have not been reduced by realized losses to date. Such losses are expected to emerge in the future. At inception, substantially all of the underlying assets were rated B-/B3 or higher and in most cases at least BBB or Baa. Thus, the percentage of gross notional amount rated less than B-/B3 represents deterioration in the credit quality of the underlying assets.

Collateral
Most of AIGFP's credit default swaps are subject to collateral posting provisions. These provisions differ among counterparties and asset classes. Although AIGFP has collateral posting obligations associated with both regulatory capital relief transactions and arbitrage transactions, the large majority of these obligations to date have been associated with arbitrage transactions in respect of multi-sector CDOs.
Regulatory Capital Relief Transactions
As of June 30, 2010, 53.6 percent of AIGFP's regulatory capital relief transactions (measured by net notional amount) were subject to Credit Support Annexes (CSA) linked to AIG's credit rating and 46.4 percent of the regulatory capital relief transactions were not subject to collateral posting provisions. In general, each regulatory capital relief transaction is subject to a stand-alone International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA) Master Agreement (Master Agreement) or similar agreement, under which the aggregate Exposure is calculated with reference to only a single transaction.
The underlying mechanism that determines the amount of collateral to be posted varies by counterparty, and there is no standard formula. The varied mechanisms resulted from individual negotiations with different counterparties. The following is a brief description of the primary mechanisms that are currently being employed to determine the amount of collateral posting for this portfolio.
Reference to Market IndicesUnder this mechanism, the amount of collateral to be posted is determined based on a formula that references certain tranches of a market index, such as either iTraxx or CDX. This mechanism is used for CDS transactions that reference either corporate loans, or residential mortgages. While the market index is not a direct proxy, it has the advantage of being readily obtainable.
181
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Expected Loss ModelsUnder this mechanism, the amount of collateral to be posted is determined based on the amount of expected credit losses, generally determined using a rating-agency model.
Negotiated AmountUnder this mechanism, the amount of collateral to be posted is determined based on terms negotiated between AIGFP and the counterparty, which could be a fixed percentage of the notional amount or present value of premiums to be earned by AIGFP.
The following table presents the amount of collateral postings by underlying mechanism as described above with respect to the regulatory capital relief portfolio (prior to consideration of transactions other than AIGFP's super senior credit default swaps subject to the same Master Agreements) as of the periods ended:

Arbitrage Portfolio Multi-Sector CDOs
In the CDS transactions, with physical settlement provisions, in respect of multi-sector CDOs, the standard CSA provisions for the calculation of Exposure have been modified, with the Exposure amount determined pursuant to an agreed formula that is based on the difference between the net notional amount of such transaction and the market value of the relevant underlying CDO security, rather than the replacement value of the transaction. As of any date, the "market value" of the relevant CDO security is the price at which a marketplace participant would be willing to purchase such CDO security in a market transaction on such date, while the "replacement value of the transaction" is the cost on such date of entering into a credit default swap transaction with substantially the same terms on the same referenced obligation (e.g., the CDO security). In cases where a formula is utilized, a transaction-specific threshold is generally factored into the calculation of Exposure, which reduces the amount of collateral required to be posted. These thresholds typically vary based on the credit ratings of AIG and/or the reference obligations, with greater posting obligations arising in the context of lower ratings. For the large majority of counterparties to these transactions, the Master Agreement and CSA cover non-CDS transactions (e.g., interest rate and cross currency swap transactions) as well as CDS transactions. As a result, the amount of collateral to be posted by AIGFP in relation to the CDS transactions will be added to or offset by the amount, if any, of the Exposure AIG has to the counterparty on the non-CDS transactions.
Arbitrage Portfolio Corporate Debt/CLOs
All of AIGFP's corporate arbitrage transactions are subject to CSAs. None of these transactions (measured by net notional amount) contains a special collateral posting provision, but each is subject to a Master Agreement that includes a CSA. These transactions are treated the same as other transactions subject to the same Master Agreement and CSA, with the calculation of collateral in accordance with the standard CSA procedures outlined above. None of these transactions, although subject to a Master Agreement and CSA, has specific valuation and threshold provisions.
Collateral Calls
AIGFP has received collateral calls from counterparties in respect of certain super senior credit default swaps, of which a large majority relate to multi-sector CDOs. To a lesser extent, AIGFP has also received collateral calls in respect of certain super senior credit default swaps entered into by counterparties for regulatory capital relief purposes and in respect of corporate arbitrage.
From time to time, valuation methodologies used and estimates made by counterparties with respect to certain super senior credit default swaps or the underlying reference CDO securities, for purposes of determining the amount of collateral required to be posted by AIGFP in connection with such instruments, have resulted in estimates that differ, at times significantly, from AIGFP's estimates. In almost all cases, AIGFP has been able to
182
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
successfully resolve the differences or otherwise reach an accommodation with respect to collateral posting levels, including in certain cases by entering into compromise collateral arrangements. Due to the ongoing nature of collateral arrangements, AIGFP regularly is engaged in discussions with one or more counterparties in respect of these differences, including at the present time. Valuation estimates made by counterparties for collateral purposes are, like any other third-party valuation, considered in the determination of the fair value estimates of AIGFP's super senior credit default swap portfolio.
The following table presents the amount of collateral postings with respect to AIGFP's super senior credit default swap portfolio (prior to offsets for other transactions) as of the periods ended:

The amount of future collateral posting requirements generally is a function of AIG's credit ratings, the rating of the reference obligations and any further decline in the market value of the relevant reference obligations, with the latter being the most significant factor. While a high level of correlation exists between the amount of collateral posted and the valuation of these contracts in respect of the arbitrage portfolio, a similar relationship does not exist with respect to the regulatory capital portfolio given the nature of how the amount of collateral for these transactions is determined. Given the severe market disruption, lack of observable data and the uncertainty regarding the potential effects on market prices of measures recently undertaken by the federal government to address the credit market disruption, AIGFP is unable to reasonably estimate the amounts of collateral that it may be required to post in the future.
Valuation Sensitivity Arbitrage Portfolio
Multi-Sector CDOs
AIG utilizes sensitivity analyses that estimate the effects of using alternative pricing and other key inputs on AIG's calculation of the unrealized market valuation loss related to the AIGFP super senior credit default swap portfolio. While AIG believes that the ranges used in these analyses are reasonable, given the current difficult market conditions, AIG is unable to predict which of the scenarios is most likely to occur. As recent experience demonstrates, actual results in any period are likely to vary, perhaps materially, from the modeled scenarios, and there can be no assurance that the unrealized market valuation loss related to the AIGFP super senior credit default swap portfolio will be consistent with any of the sensitivity analyses. On average, prices for CDOs increased 0.90 percent and 1.61 percent of the notional amount outstanding for the first and second quarters of 2010. Further, it is difficult to extrapolate future experience based on current market conditions.
For the purposes of estimating sensitivities for the super senior multi-sector CDO credit default swap portfolio, the change in valuation derived using the BET model is used to estimate the change in the fair value of the derivative liability. Out of the total $6.8 billion net notional amount of CDS written on multi-sector CDOs outstanding at June 30, 2010, a BET value is available for $4.3 billion net notional amount. No BET value is determined for $2.5 billion of CDS written on European multi-sector CDOs as prices on the underlying securities held by the CDOs are not provided by collateral managers; instead these CDS are valued using counterparty prices. Therefore, sensitivities disclosed below apply only to the net notional amount of $4.3 billion.
The most significant assumption used in the BET model is the estimated price of the securities within the CDO collateral pools. If the actual price of the securities within the collateral pools differs from the price used in estimating the fair value of the super senior credit default swap portfolio, there is potential for material variation in the fair value estimate. Any further declines in the value of the underlying collateral securities held by a CDO will similarly affect the value of the super senior CDO securities. While the models attempt to predict changes in the prices of underlying collateral securities held within a CDO, the changes are subject to actual market

conditions which have proved to be highly volatile, especially given current market conditions. AIG cannot predict reasonably likely changes in the prices of the underlying collateral securities held within a CDO at this time.
The following table presents key inputs used in the BET model, and the potential increase (decrease) to the fair value of the derivative liability by ABS category at June 30, 2010 corresponding to changes in these key inputs:

American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
AIG's investment strategies are tailored to the specific business needs of each operating unit. The investment objectives are driven by the business model for each of the businesses: General Insurance, life insurance, retirement services and the Matched Investment Program. The primary objectives are generation of investment income, preservation of capital, liquidity management and growth of surplus to support the insurance products.
At the local operating unit level, investment strategies are based on considerations that include the local market, liability duration and cash flow characteristics, rating agency and regulatory capital considerations, legal investment limitations, tax optimization and diversification.
The majority of assets backing insurance liabilities at AIG consist of intermediate and long duration fixed maturity securities. In the case of life insurance & retirement services companies, as well as in the MIP portfolio, the fundamental investment strategy is, as nearly as is practicable, to match the duration characteristics of the liabilities with comparable duration assets. Fixed maturity securities held by the insurance companies included in the Commercial Insurance Group historically have consisted primarily of laddered holdings of tax-exempt municipal bonds, which provided attractive after-tax returns and limited credit risk. In order to meet the Commercial Insurance Group's current risk/return and tax objectives, the domestic property and casualty companies have begun to shift investment allocations away from tax exempt municipal bonds towards taxable instruments which meet the companies' liquidity, duration and quality objectives as well as current risk-return and tax objectives. Fixed maturity securities held by Foreign General Insurance companies consist primarily of intermediate duration high grade securities.
The market price of fixed maturity securities reflects numerous components, including interest rate environment, credit spread, embedded optionality (such as call features), liquidity, structural complexity, foreign exchange risk, and other credit and non-credit factors. However, in most circumstances, pricing is most sensitive to interest rates, such that the market price declines as interest rates rise, and increases as interest rates fall. This effect is more pronounced for longer duration securities.
AIG accounts for the vast majority of the invested assets held by its insurance companies at fair value. However, with limited exceptions (primarily with respect to separate account products on AIG's Consolidated Balance Sheet), AIG does not fair value its insurance liabilities for changes in interest rates, even though rising interest rates have the effect of reducing the fair value of such liabilities, and falling interest rates have the opposite effect. This results in the recording of changes in unrealized gains (losses) on securities in Accumulated other comprehensive income resulting from changes in interest rates without any correlative, inverse changes in gains (losses) on AIG's liabilities. Because AIG's asset duration in certain low-yield currencies, particularly Japan and Taiwan, is shorter than its liability duration, AIG views increasing interest rates in these countries as economically advantageous, notwithstanding the effect that higher rates have on the market value of its fixed maturity portfolio.
At June 30, 2010, approximately 66 percent of the fixed maturity securities were in domestic entities. Approximately 29 percent of such securities were rated AAA by one or more of the principal rating agencies. Approximately 12 percent were below investment grade or not rated. AIG's investment decision process relies primarily on internally generated fundamental analysis and internal risk ratings. Third-party rating services' ratings and opinions provide one source of independent perspectives for consideration in the internal analysis.
A significant portion of the foreign fixed maturity portfolio is rated by Moody's, S&P or similar foreign rating services. Rating services are not available in all overseas locations. AIG's Credit Risk Committee closely reviews the credit quality of the foreign portfolio's non-rated fixed maturity securities. At June 30, 2010, approximately 14 percent of the foreign fixed income investments were either rated AAA or, on the basis of AIG's internal analysis, were equivalent from a credit standpoint to securities so rated. Approximately 6 percent were below investment grade or not rated at that date. Approximately one third of the foreign fixed maturity portfolio is sovereign fixed maturity securities supporting policy liabilities in the country of issuance.

There have been disruptions in the CMBS market due to weakness in underlying commercial real estate fundamentals and the market's anticipation of increasing delinquencies and defaults. Although the market value has improved and CMBS spreads have tightened during the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, the market value of the holdings continues to be below amortized cost. The majority of AIG's investments in CMBS are in tranches that contain substantial protection features through collateral subordination. As indicated in the tables, downgrades have occurred on many CMBS holdings. The majority of CMBS holdings are traditional conduit transactions, broadly diversified across property types and geographical areas.

AIG has recognized the other-than-temporary impairment charges (severity losses) shown above in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. With the adoption of the new other-than-temporary impairments accounting standard on April 1, 2009, such severity loss charges subsequent to that date exclusively related to equity securities and other invested assets. In all prior periods, such charges primarily related to mortgage-backed, asset-backed and collateralized securities, corporate debt securities of financial institutions and other equity securities. Notwithstanding AIG's intent and ability to hold such securities until they had recovered their cost or amortized cost basis, and despite structures that indicated, at the time, that
198
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
a substantial amount of the securities should have continued to perform in accordance with original terms, AIG concluded, at the time, that it could not reasonably assert that the impairment would be temporary.
Determinations of other-than-temporary impairments are based on fundamental credit analyses of individual securities without regard to rating agency ratings. Based on this analysis, AIG expects to receive cash flows sufficient to cover the amortized cost of all below investment grade securities for which credit losses were not recognized.
In addition to the above severity losses, AIG recorded other-than-temporary impairment charges in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 related to:
With respect to the issuer-specific credit events shown above, no other-than-temporary impairment charge with respect to any one single credit was significant to AIG's consolidated financial condition or results of operations, and no individual other-than-temporary impairment charge exceeded 0.12 percent and 0.05 percent of Total equity in the six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
In periods subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment charge for available for sale fixed maturity securities that is not foreign exchange related, AIG generally prospectively accretes into earnings the difference between the new amortized cost and the expected undiscounted recovery value over the remaining expected holding period of the security. The amounts of accretion recognized in earnings were $129 million and $20 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $221 million and $465 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, net unrealized gains related to fixed maturity and equity securities increased by $9.0 billion reflecting an increase in fair value primarily due to the narrowing of credit spreads.
As of June 30, 2010, the majority of AIG's fixed maturity investments in an unrealized loss position of more than 50 percent for more than 12 months, comprising the unrealized loss of $2.5 billion related to CMBS and RMBS securities originally rated investment grade that are floating rate or that have low fixed coupons relative to current market yields. A total of 189 securities with an amortized cost of $1.6 billion and a net unrealized loss of $1.1 billion, are still investment grade. As part of its credit evaluation procedures applied to these and other securities, AIG considers the nature of both the specific securities and the market conditions for those securities. Current market spreads continue to be significantly wider for securities supported by real estate related assets, compared to spreads at the securities' respective purchase dates, largely due to the continued effects of the recession and the economic and market uncertainties regarding future performance of commercial and residential real estate. In addition, declining LIBOR rates have made floating rate securities less attractive as a class.
AIG believes that the lack of demand for commercial and residential real estate collateral-based securities, low contractual coupons and interest rate spreads, and the deterioration in the level of collateral support due to real estate market conditions are the primary reasons for these securities trading at significant price discounts. Based
200
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
on its analysis, and taking into account the level of subordination below these securities, AIG continues to believe that the expected cash flows from these securities will be sufficient to recover the amortized cost of its investment. AIG continues to monitor these positions for potential credit impairments that could result from further deterioration in commercial and residential real estate fundamentals.
See also Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Directive 2002/87/EC (Directive) issued by the European Parliament provides that certain financial conglomerates with regulated entities in the European Union are subject to supplementary supervision. Pursuant to the Directive, the Commission Bancaire (the French banking regulator) was appointed as AIG's supervisory coordinator. From February 2007 until March 2010, with the approval of the Commission Bancaire, the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) acted as AIG's equivalent supervisor, as permitted by the Directive in circumstances in which a financial conglomerate organized outside the European Union (such as AIG) has proposed to have one of its existing regulators recognized as its coordinator and such regulator's supervision is determined to be equivalent to that required by the Directive. Since March 2010, AIG has been in discussions with the Commission Bancaire regarding the possibility of proposing another of AIG's existing regulators as its equivalent supervisor.
On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank), which effects comprehensive changes to the regulation of financial services in the United States and will subject AIG to substantial additional federal regulation, was signed into law. Dodd-Frank directs existing and newly created government agencies and bodies to promulgate regulations implementing the law, a process anticipated to occur over the next few years. AIG cannot predict with any certainty the requirements of the regulations ultimately adopted or how or whether Dodd-Frank and such regulations will affect the financial markets generally; impact AIG's businesses, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition; or require AIG to raise additional capital or result in a downgrade of AIG's credit ratings.
Key aspects identified to date of Dodd-Frank's potential impact on AIG include:
201
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
202
American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
overall standard for investment advisers (i.e. a fiduciary standard). The SEC may also require broker-dealers selling proprietary or a limited range of products to make certain disclosures and obtain customer consents or acknowledgements.
Dodd-Frank imposes various assessments on financial companies, including (as applicable to AIG) ex-post assessments to provide funds necessary to repay any borrowing and to cover the costs of any special resolution of a financial company conducted under Title II (although the regulatory authority would have to take account of the amounts paid by AIG into state guaranty funds). AIG cannot predict the potential effects the new legislation will have on its organizational structure, financial condition or results of operations. However, it is possible that such effect could be materially adverse.
Foreign governmental actions in response to the recent financial crisis could subject AIG to substantial additional regulation.
In addition to the adoption of Dodd-Frank in the United States, regulators and lawmakers around the world are actively reviewing the causes of the financial crisis and exploring steps to avoid similar problems in the future. In many respects, this work is being led by the Financial Stability Board (FSB), consisting of representatives of national financial authorities of the G20 nations. The G20 and the FSB have issued a series of papers and recommendations intended to produce significant changes in how financial companies, particularly companies that are members of large and complex financial groups, should be regulated. These proposals address such issues as financial group supervision, capital and solvency standards, systemic economic risk, corporate governance including executive compensation, and a host of related issues associated with responses to the financial crisis. The lawmakers and regulatory authorities in a number of jurisdictions in which AIG's subsidiaries conduct business have already begun introducing legislative and regulatory changes consistent with G20 and FSB recommendations, including proposals governing consolidated regulation of insurance holdings companies by the Financial Services Agency (FSA) in Japan, proposals governing executive compensation by the financial regulators in Germany (BaFIN) and the United Kingdom (FSA), and proposals to permit U.S.-style class action litigation in the United Kingdom with respect to financial services claims.
AIG cannot predict whether these actions will become effective or the effect they may have on the financial markets or on AIG's business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and credit ratings.
For additional information concerning the regulation of AIG and its businesses, see Item 1. BusinessRegulation in the 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
For a complete discussion of AIG's risk management program, see Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Risk Management in the 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
AIG defines its aggregate credit exposures to a counterparty as the sum of its fixed maturities, loans, finance leases, reinsurance recoverables, derivatives (mark-to-market), deposits and letters of credit (both in the case of financial institutions) and the specified credit equivalent exposure to certain insurance products which embody credit risk.

AIG monitors its aggregate cross-border exposures by country and regional group of countries. AIG includes in its cross-border exposures both aggregated cross-border credit exposures to unrelated third parties and its cross-border investments in its own international subsidiaries. Ten countries have cross-border exposures in excess of 10 percent of Total equity at June 30, 2010 and nine had such exposures at December 31, 2009. Based on AIG's internal risk ratings, as of June 30, 2010, six countries were rated AAA, three were rated AA and one was rated A. The two largest cross-border exposures are to Bermuda and the United Kingdom.
In addition, AIG reviews and manages its industry concentrations. AIG's single largest industry credit exposure is to the global financial institutions sector, which includes banks and finance companies, securities firms and insurance and reinsurance companies.

AIG also has a risk concentration through the investment portfolios of its insurance companies in the U.S. municipal sector. AIG holds approximately $48.4 billion of tax-exempt and taxable securities, $5.5 billion of which are defeased, issued by a wide number of municipal authorities across the U.S. and its territories. A majority of these securities are held in available-for-sale portfolios of AIG's domestic property-casualty insurance companies. These securities are comprised of the general obligations of states and local governments, revenue bonds issued by these same governments and bonds issued by transportation authorities, universities, state housing finance agencies and hospital systems. The average credit quality of these issuers is A.
Currently, several states, local governments and other issuers are facing pressures on their budget revenues from the effects of the recession and have had to cut spending and draw on reserve funds. Consequently, several municipal issuers in AIG's portfolios have been downgraded one or more notches by the rating agencies. The most notable of these issuers is the State of California, of which AIG holds approximately $958 million of general obligation bonds, $69.9 million of which are defeased. Nevertheless, despite the budget pressures facing the sector, AIG does not expect any significant defaults in portfolio holdings of municipal issuers.
AIG has credit exposure to several sovereign governments whose ratings have been downgraded or placed on review in recent months by one or more major nationally recognized statistical rating agencies. The downgrades primarily reflect large government budget deficits and rising government debt to GDP ratios. As of June 30, 2010, AIG had exposure of $937 million to the government of Greece, which has been downgraded to below investment grade by two major rating agencies. At June 30, 2010, AIG's exposure to other notable European governments, such as Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Spain and Hungary, amounts to $1.95 billion. Four of these five governments (Italy is the exception) have experienced rating downgrades during the first half of 2010.
The Credit Risk Committee (CRC) reviews quarterly concentration reports in all categories listed above as well as credit trends by risk ratings. The CRC may adjust limits to provide reasonable assurance that AIG does not incur excessive levels of credit risk and that AIG's credit risk profile is properly calibrated across business units.

Included in Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out by AIG's management, with the participation of AIG's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of AIG's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act)). Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based on that evaluation, AIG's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2010, AIG's disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There has been no change in AIG's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, AIG's internal control over financial reporting.

The enactment of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act may subject AIG to substantial additional federal regulation which may materially and adversely affect AIG's
businesses, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and credit ratings.
On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank), which effects comprehensive changes to the regulation of financial services in the United States and may subject AIG to substantial additional federal regulation, was signed into law. Dodd-Frank directs existing and newly created government agencies and bodies to promulgate regulations implementing the law, a process anticipated to occur over the next few years.
AIG may become subject to the examination, enforcement and supervisory authority of the FRB as a savings and loan holding company or a Designated Financial Company. In such a case,
In addition, if determined to be a Designated Financial Company regulated by the FRB, AIG would be subject to unspecified stricter prudential standards, including stricter requirements and limitations relating to liquidity and credit exposure, as well as overall risk management requirements, management interlock prohibitions and a requirement to maintain a plan for rapid and orderly dissolution in the event of severe financial distress.
AIG cannot predict the requirements of the regulations ultimately adopted, the level and magnitude of supervision AIG may become subject to, or how Dodd-Frank and such regulations will affect the financial markets generally or AIG's businesses, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. It is possible that the regulations adopted under Dodd-Frank could significantly alter AIG's business practices, require AIG to raise additional capital, impose burdensome and costly requirements and add additional costs. Some of the regulations may also affect the perceptions of regulators, rating agencies, customers, counterparties, creditors or investors about AIG's financial strength and could potentially affect AIG's financing costs or result in a ratings downgrade.
The following updates the "Execution of Restructuring Plan" risk factor in Item 1A. Risk Factors of the 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
AIG May Engage in a Transaction with the Government that Could Result in Significant Dilution to AIG's Current Shareholders and/or the Disposition of Non-Core Assets to the Government. In accordance with its longstanding commitment to repay its obligations to the U.S. government, AIG has commenced discussions with the FRBNY, the United States Department of the Treasury and the trustees of the Trust with respect to a proposed strategy to

repay the FRBNY Credit Facility and allow the government to exit its ownership relationship with AIG. This strategy could result in the issuance of a large number of additional shares of AIG common stock or other equity securities of AIG and/or the disposition of non-core assets (or interests therein) to the government. No assurance can be given that AIG will reach an agreement with the FRBNY, the Department of the Treasury and the Trust on a repayment/exit transaction or what the terms of such transaction would be.
See accompanying Exhibit Index.
