Our operating cash flows from our Risk and Insurance Brokerage Services and Consulting segments, as well as related corporate items, was $429 million in 2008 compared to $904 million in 2007. The decline in operating cash flows, in part, is due to $376 million of taxes paid on the gain from the sales of CICA and Sterling. These amounts exclude the change in funds held on behalf of clients as described above. The operating cash flows depend on the timing of receipts and payments related to revenues, incentive compensation, other operating expenses and income taxes.

(a) The Company is involved regularly, directly or indirectly, in litigation in the ordinary course of conducting insurance and reinsurance business. In some cases, plaintiffs seek to establish coverage for liability under environmental protection laws. While the nature and extent of insurance and reinsurance coverage for environmental liability has widened since 1980, there has been no final judgment which would result in the wholesale transfer of environmental liability from insureds to insurers and reinsurers. In management's opinion, none of these cases, individually or collectively, is likely to result in judgments for amounts which, net of loss and loss adjustment expense liabilities previously established and reinsurance recoverables which management believes are probable of realization, would have a material effect on the financial position of the Company. However, there is no assurance that such losses will not materially affect the Company's results of operations for any period.

Net investment income for 1996 was $40.3 million or 8.8% higher than for the preceding year primarily due to increases in the average amount of invested assets. Invested assets have increased primarily due to receiving annuity and guaranteed investment contract (GIC) deposits and to acquisitions. The assumption of four blocks of policies during 1996 resulted in an increase in net investment income of $18.4 million in 1996. The percentage earned on average cash and investments was 7.8% in 1996 and 7.9% in 1995.

In certain investment structures, the Company’s asset management business invests with other co-investors in an investment fund referred to as a feeder fund. In these structures, the invested capital of several feeder funds is pooled together and used to purchase ownership interests in another fund, referred to as a master fund. The master fund utilizes this invested capital, and in certain cases other debt financing, to purchase various classes of assets on behalf of its investors. Specialized industry accounting for investment companies calls for the feeder fund to reflect its investment in the master fund as a single net asset equal to its proportionate share of the net assets of the master fund, regardless of its level of interest in the master fund. In cases where the Company consolidates the feeder fund, it retains the feeder fund’s net asset presentation and reports the consolidated feeder fund’s proportionate share of the net assets of the master fund in “Other long-term investments,” with any unaffiliated investors’ minority interest in the feeder fund reported in “Other liabilities.” As of December 31, 2007 and 2006 respectively, the consolidated feeder funds’ investments in these master funds, reflected on this net asset basis, totaled $839 million and $225 million. The minority interest in the consolidated feeder funds was $59 million and $0 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and the master funds had gross assets of $11.0 billion and $8.5 billion, respectively, and gross liabilities of $10.0 billion and $8.2 billion, respectively, which are not included on the Company’s balance sheet.

Gross insurance claim obligations represent the future value of payments MBIA expects to make, before estimated recoveries and reinsurance, with respect to actual or probable claims under insurance policies accounted for as financial guarantee insurance contracts and insured derivatives. The discounted value of such actual or estimated claims, after estimated recoveries, on policies accounted for as financial guarantee insurance contracts is reported as case basis reserves within “Loss and loss adjustment expense reserves” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. With respect to insured derivatives, we have not adjusted the expected contractual payments included in the preceding table by the impact of possible early settlements of such contracts at lower amounts. Insured derivatives are recorded at fair value and reported within “Derivative liabilities” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Surplus notes, VIE notes, investment agreements, MTNs, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, short-term debt and long-term debt include principal and interest and exclude premiums or discounts. Liabilities issued at discounts reflect principal due at maturity. Interest payments on floating rate obligations are estimated using applicable forward rates. Principal and interest on callable obligations or obligations that allow investors to withdraw funds prior to legal maturity are based on the expected call or withdrawal dates of such obligations.

When evaluating segment pre-tax adjusted operating income (loss) in the Deferred Annuities’ segment, management includes the net investment gains (losses) from the FIA hedging program and changes in the fair value of the related FIA embedded derivative. The FIA hedging program consists of buying S&P 500 Index call options to hedge the equity return component of FIA products. These options do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, and net gains (losses) from the options are recorded in net realized investment gains (losses). Because the interest earned on the Company’s FIA product is included as a component of interest credited, it is more meaningful to evaluate results inclusive of the results of this hedging program.

An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the group’s and the parent company’s circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the directors; and the overall presentation of the financial statements. In addition, we read all the financial and non-financial information in the annual report to identify material inconsistencies with the audited financial statements and to identify any information that is apparently materially incorrect based on, or materially inconsistent with, the knowledge acquired by us in the course of performing the audit. If we become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report.

Also on October 31, 2002, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services placed its "A-" rating of our senior debt on CreditWatch with negative implications, which it subsequently removed without change. On August 31, 2003, Standard & Poor's revised its outlook on our senior debt from stable to negative. A further downgrade in the credit ratings of our senior debt and commercial paper would increase our borrowing costs and reduce our financial flexibility.

Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are determined on the basis of the cost of the specific investments sold and are credited or charged to income on a trade date basis. Unrealized gains or losses on bonds and common stocks which are classified as available for sale, net of applicable deferred income taxes (benefits), are excluded from income and credited or charged directly to a separate component of stockholders' equity. If any unrealized losses on bond or common stocks are deemed other than temporary, such unrealized losses are recognized as realized losses.

expected loss method, which is commonly applied when limited loss experience exists. We select the initial expected loss and loss adjustment expense ratios based on information derived by our underwriters and actuaries during the initial pricing of the business, supplemented by industry data where appropriate. These ratios consider, among other things, rate increases and changes in terms and conditions that have been observed in the market. Any estimates and assumptions made as part of the reserving process could prove to be inaccurate due to several factors, including the fact that limited historical information has been reported to us through December 31, 2005. Reinsurance operations by their nature add further complexity to the reserving process in that there is an inherent additional lag in the timing and reporting of a loss event to a reinsurer from an insured or ceding company through a broker. As actual loss information has been reported to us, we have developed our own loss experience and our reserving methods include other actuarial techniques. In 2005, our insurance operations began to give a relatively small amount of weight to their own experience. As a result, our insurance operations reduced loss selections for some lines, in particular those written on a claims-made basis and for which they now have a reasonable level of credible data. Over time, such techniques will be given more weight in our reserving process based on the continuing maturation of our Loss Reserves. It is possible that claims in respect of events that have occurred could exceed our Loss Reserves and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in a future period or our financial condition in general.

Our actuaries review assumed reserve estimates annually for both current and prior accident years. The Property and Casualty Group ceased writing voluntary assumed business in 2003. Outstanding liabilities for the voluntary and involuntary assumed business are immaterial compared to the overall reserves. Our ceded reserves primarily relate to massive injury lifetime medical claims; the ceded estimates for these claims are adjusted when there is a change to the direct reserve estimate. The remainder of the ceded reserves is reviewed by our actuaries annually.

Financial assets under IAS 398.2.1 At initial recognition, financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value, corresponding to their acquisition price at that date. Their subsequent accounting treatment depends on their balance sheet classification. In accordance with IAS 39, financial assets are classified in one of the four categories of financial assets set out below: Financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss These are instruments held for trading purposes or designated at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition in accordance with the fair value option amendment to IAS 39 (published by the IASB in June 2005 and adopted by the European Union on November 15, 2005).

Acquisition costs. Acquisition costs decreased to negative $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 from positive $5.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The negative cost represents ceding commissions received on ceded premiums in excess of the brokerage fees and commissions paid on gross premiums written. The acquisition cost ratio decreased to negative 1.2% for the year ended December 31, 2006 from 2.5% for 2005 primarily as a result of changes in our U.S. distribution platform. Historically, our U.S. business was generated via surplus lines program administrator agreements and a reinsurance agreement with subsidiaries of AIG. Under these agreements, we paid additional commissions to the program administrators and cedent equal to 7.5% of the gross premiums written. These agreements were cancelled and the related gross premiums written were substantially earned by December 31, 2005. Gross premiums written from our U.S. offices are now underwritten by our own staff and, as a result, we do not incur the 7.5% override commission historically paid to subsidiaries of AIG. In addition, we now cede a portion of our U.S. business on a quota share basis under our property treaties. These cessions generate additional ceding commissions and have helped to further reduce acquisition costs on our U.S. business.

ERISA Action. Between November 30, 2004 and July 1, 2005, several ERISA actions were filed on behalf of purported class of participants and beneficiaries of three pension plans sponsored by AIG or its subsidiaries. A consolidated complaint filed on September 26, 2005 alleges a class period between September 30, 2000 and May 31, 2005 and names as defendants AIG, the members of AIG’s Retirement Board and the Administrative Boards of the plans at issue, and four present or former members of AIG’s Board of Directors. The factual allegations in the complaint are essentially identical to those in the securities actions described above. Plaintiffs allege that defendants violated duties under ERISA by allowing the plans to offer AIG stock as a permitted investment, when defendants allegedly knew it was not a prudent investment, and by failing to provide participants with accurate information about AIG stock. AIG’s motion to dismiss was denied by order dated December 12, 2006. Discovery will be consolidated with proceedings in the securities actions.

COMPANY OUTLOOK - - Consistent with the marketplace, the Company's sales continue to move towards lower profit margin products, such as term life and variable annuities. These lower profit margin products require a higher volume of sales to increase the Company's operating results. The Company achieved this increased volume in 2000 and expects product growth in 2002, as the economy improves and additional products are offered and updated.

Ocean marine gross premiums written grew by 6% during 2003 when compared to 2002. The increase reflected higher ocean marine rates with the largest rate increases, approximately 5% to 15%, occurring in the marine liability and hull classes and additional production was achieved in the marine liability class. Other marine classes experienced a leveling in rates. Partially offsetting the overall increase were decreases in policy count in the drill rig class partly as a result of some one-time builder's risk policies written in 2002, which were not renewed in 2003. Builder's risk policies may have policy terms greater than one year and accordingly their premiums are earned over the related policy periods. In addition, we did not renew certain cargo policies in order to reduce concentrations of risk. However, commencing in the fourth quarter of 2003, gross premiums included approximately $6.5 million of cargo premiums from our agreement with Southern Marine & Aviation, a leading provider of insurance for bulk petroleum cargo shipments. Net premiums written decreased by 4% reflecting larger amounts of ceded reinsurance premium as a result of higher costs as well as the business mix within the various classes of ocean marine insurance. Net premiums earned grew by 18% in 2003 compared to 2002 reflecting premium rate increases as well as increased

The consolidated loss and loss adjustment expense ratio of 57.3% in 2009 was 2.1 points lower than the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio of 59.4% in 2008. Catastrophe losses accounted for 2.1 points and 5.8 points of the 2009 and 2008 loss and loss adjustment expense ratios, respectively. The 2009 and 2008 loss and loss adjustment expense ratios included 6.2 point and 7.1 point benefits from net favorable prior year reserve development, respectively. The consolidated loss and loss adjustment expense ratio adjusted for catastrophe losses and prior year reserve development in 2009 was 0.7 points higher than the 2008 ratio on the same basis, primarily reflecting the impact of loss cost trends in the Business Insurance and Personal Insurance segments, partially offset by lower non-catastrophe weather-related losses across the Company's segments, and fewer large property losses in the Financial, Professional & International Insurance segment.

Throughout 1995, the Company continued to focus on attracting new members and retaining existing members who have either been declined coverage by CNA or who have obtained their E&O coverage through another entity, as participants in the Company's warranty and Consumer Reach programs. A new membership program targeted at brokers desiring to use the Company's warranty was introduced in mid-1995. This strategy has somewhat reduced the negative impact of the loss of members on other revenues, evidenced by the 1995 fourth quarter improvements in first year warranty contract sales, as compared to prior quarters.

Policyholder benefits and expenses were $48.2 million in 2002, as compared to $30.1 million in 2001 and $13.5 million in 2000. The increase of $18.1 million from year ended December 31, 2001 to December 31, 2002 was partly attributable to the inclusion of ILCO's expenses for the full year in 2002 as compared to the period from May 18 to December 31 in 2001. The consolidation of ILCO's operations for the period from May 18, 2001 to December 31, 2001 contributed approximately $19 million to policyholder benefits and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2001. At ILCO's insurance subsidiaries, the level of policyholder benefits and expenses was $32.5 million in the year 2000, $32.4 million in the year 2001 and $37.3 million in the year 2002. The increase from 2001 to 2002 is attributable to increases in death benefit claims. At Family Life, the level of policyholder benefits and expenses decreased from $13.5 million for the year 2000 to $10.1 million for the year 2001 and increased to $10.7 million for the year 2002, which decreases are attributable to decreases in death benefit claims as well as decreases in reserves due to higher than expected lapse rates in Family Life's traditional life business.
