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) and catastrophe 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.

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:

  • Disputes in English grammar (Incorrect English)
 or misleading assumptions and conclusions. The equity analysts who follow AIG exclude the realized capital gains and losses in their analyses for the same reason, and consistently request that AIG provide the non-GAAP information.

AIG presents net income and operating income excluding catastrophe losses because those losses are deemed to be significant for the third quarter and nine months 2004. AIG believes that this separate presentation is both meaningful and useful for users of AIG's financial information.

New York State Attorney General The New York State Attorney General is the chief legal officer of the State of New York. The office has been in existence in some form since 1626, under the Dutch colonial government of New York.  Investigation

1. To expose to view, as by removing a cover; uncover.

2. To make known (something heretofore kept secret).
, on October 14, 2004, the New York State Attorney General brought a lawsuit lawsuit: see procedure; tort.  challenging certain insurance brokerage practices related to contingent commissions Contingent commissions is a term used in the American insurance industry for any kind of broker's commission which is contingent upon some event occurring (instead of a commission paid on the sale itself). In the UK this form of payment is known as Overriders. . Neither AIG nor any of its subsidiaries is a defendant in that action, although the lawsuit names several insurance companies, including AIG subsidiaries, as participants in the challenged practices, and two employees of an AIG subsidiary have pleaded guilty in connection with the Attorney General's investigation. AIG expects there will be additional investigations, and that various parties, including insureds and shareholders, will assert claims against AIG or its subsidiaries. AIG is actively investigating these matters, but the extent, timing and outcome of any related claims are uncertain. AIG cannot at this time estimate its potential costs related to these matters and accordingly, no reserve is being established in AIG's financial statements at this time. In the opinion of AIG management, AIG's ultimate liability for these matters is not likely to have a material adverse effect on AIG's consolidated financial condition, although it is possible that the effect would be material to AIG's consolidated results of operations for an individual reporting period.
