Sources: Arkansas Insurance Department, the companies.

N/A: Not applicable because insurance is sold by independent agents.

Notes: Some companies reported no life or annuities premiums, but the
state did not generally distinguish between health and life business in
reporting total premiums.

Company totals include subsidiaries, as indentified by the Insurance
Department, that wrote health and life insurance in Arkansas during
2000. For example, Arkansas Blue Cross and Blue Shield premium includes
USAble Life and First Pyramid Life Insurance Co. of America, while
American International Group (AIG) includes AIG Life Insurance Co.,
American General Annuity Insurance Co., Anchor National Life Insurance
Co., American General Life & Accident Insurance Co., American
International Life Assurance Co. NY., American General Life Insurance
Co., American General Assurance Co. and Old Line Life.
