There have been disruptions in the <strong>com</strong>mercial mortgage<br />

markets in general, and the CMBS market in particular, with credit<br />

default swaps indices and quoted prices of securities at levels<br />

consistent with a severe correction in lease rates, occupancy and<br />

fair value of properties. In addition, spreads in the primary<br />

mortgage market have widened significantly. While this capital<br />

market stress has not to date been reflected in the performance<br />

of <strong>com</strong>mercial mortgage securitization in the form of increased<br />

defaults in underlying mortgage pools, pricing of CMBS has been<br />

adversely affected by market perceptions that underlying mortgage<br />

defaults will increase. As a result, <strong>AIG</strong> recognized $135 million of<br />

other-than-temporary impairment charges on CMBS trading at a<br />

severe discount to cost, despite the absence of any deterioration<br />

in performance of the underlying credits, because <strong>AIG</strong> concluded<br />

that it could not reasonably assert that the recovery period was<br />

temporary. At this time, <strong>AIG</strong> anticipates full recovery of principal<br />

and interest on the securities to which such other-than-temporary<br />

impairment charges were recorded.<br />

An aging of the pre-tax unrealized losses of fixed maturity and equity securities, distributed as a percentage of cost<br />

relative to unrealized loss (the extent by which the fair value is less than amortized cost or cost), including the number<br />

of respective items, was as follows at December 31, <strong>2007</strong>:<br />

Less than or equal to Greater than 20% to Greater than 50%<br />
