Comment on Regulation G

Throughout this press release, AIG presents its operations in the way it believes will be most meaningful and useful, as well as most transparent (1) Refers to a change in hardware or software that, after installation, causes no noticeable change in operation. Also known as "feature transparency." Contrast with "seamless integration," which means that an additional component to the system can be added without incurring any , to the investing public and others who use AIG's financial information in evaluating the performance of AIG. That presentation includes the use of certain non-GAAP measures. In addition to the GAAP presentations of net income and operating income, AIG shows both net income and operating income exclusive of realized capital gains (losses).

Although the investment of premiums to generate investment income (or loss) and realized capital gains or losses capital gains or losses n. particularly when calculating the tax liability of an individual or business, this is the difference between the original cost plus the cost of capital improvements, excluding maintenance, called "basis" and the sales price.  is an integral part of both life and general insurance operations, the determination to realize capital gains or losses is independent of the insurance underwriting process. Moreover, under applicable GAAP accounting requirements, losses can be created as the result of other than temporary declines in value without actual realization (specification) realization - A UML semantic relationship between a classifier that specifies a contract and another classifier that guarantees to carry it out.

. In sum, investment income and realized capital gains or losses for any particular period are not indicative indicative: see mood.  of quarterly business performance.

AIG believes that a major part of the discipline of a successful general insurance company is to produce an underwriting profit Underwriting profit is a term used in the insurance industry. It consists of the earned premium remaining after losses have been paid and administrative expenses have been deducted. It does not include any investment income earned on held premiums. , and it evaluates the performance of and manages its operations on that basis. Providing only a GAAP presentation of net income and operating income makes it much more difficult for users of AIG's financial information to evaluate AIG's success or failure in its basic business, that of insurance underwriting, and may, in AIG's opinion, lead to incorrect Incorrect means to not be correct and may also refer to:
