BASIS OF PRESENTATION
BASIS OF PRESENTATION	1. Basis of Presentation American International Group, Inc. (AIG) is a leading global insurance organization serving customers in more than 80 countries and jurisdictions. AIG companies serve commercial and individual customers through one of the most extensive worldwide property -casualty networks of any insurer. In addition, AIG companies are leading providers of life insurance and retirement services in the United States. AIG Common Stock, par value $ 2.50 per share (AIG Common Stock), is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: AIG) and the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms “AIG,” “we,” “us” or “our” mean American International Group, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries and the term “AIG Parent” means American International Group, Inc. and not any of its consolidated subsidiaries. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all disclosures that are normally included in annual fi nancial statements prepared in accordance with accountin g principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 ( the 2016 Annual Report). The condensed consolidated financial information as of December 31, 2016 included herein has been derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Stat ements in the 2016 Annual Report. Certain of our foreign subsidiaries included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements report on different fiscal-period bases. The effect on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations of all material events occurring at these subsidiaries through the date of each of the periods presented in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements has been considered for adjustment and/or disclosure. In the opinion of management, these Condens ed Consolidated Financial Statements contain normal recurring adjustments, including eliminations of material intercompany accounts and transactions, necessary for a fair statement of the results presented herein. Interim-period operating results may not be indicative of the operating results for a full year. We evaluated the need to recognize or disclose events that occurred subsequent to March 31, 2017 and prior to the issuance of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the application of accounting policies that often involve a significant degree of judgment. Accounting policies that we believe are most dependent on the application of estimates and assumptions are considered our critical accounting estimates and are related to the determination of: income tax assets and liabilities, including recoverability of our net deferred tax asset and the predictability of future tax operating pro fitability of the character necessary to realize the net deferred tax asset; liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses (loss reserves); reinsurance assets; valuation of future policy benefit liabilities and timing and extent of loss recognit ion; valuation of liabilities for guaranteed benefit features of variable annuity products; estimated gross profits to value deferred policy acquisition costs for investment-oriented products; impairment charges, including other-than-temporary impairments on available for sale securities, impairments on other invested assets, including investments in life settlements, and goodwill impairment; liability for legal contingencies; and fair value measurements of certain financial assets and liabilities. These ac counting estimates require the use of assumptions about matters, some of which are highly uncertain at the time of estimation. To the extent actual experience differs from the assumptions used, our consolidated financial condition, results of operations an d cash flows could be materially affected.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Accounting Standards Adopted During 2017 Derivative Contract Novations In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an accounting standard that clarifies that a change in the counterparty (novation) to a derivative instrument that has been designated as a hedging instrument does not, in and of itself, require de-designation of that hedging relationship provided that all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met. We adopted the standard on its required effective date of January 1, 2017. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of opera tions or cash flows. Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments In March 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard that clarifies the requirements for assessing whether contingent call (put) options that can accelerate the payment of principal on debt instruments are clearly and closely related to their debt hosts. The standard requires an evaluation of embedded call (put) options solely on a four-step decision sequence that requires an entity to consider whether (1) the amount paid upon settlem ent is adjusted based on changes in an index, (2) the amount paid upon settlement is indexed to an underlying other than interest rates or credit risk, (3) the debt involves a substantial premium or discount and (4) the put or call option is contingently e xercisable. We adopted the standard on its required effective date of January 1, 2017. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting In March 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard that eliminates the requirement that when an investment qualifies for use of the equity method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence, an investor must adjust the investment, results of operations, and retained earnings retroactively on a step-by-step basis as if the equity method had been in effect during all previous periods during which the investment had been held. We adopt ed the standard on its required effective date of January 1, 2017. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Interest Held through Related Parties that are und er Common Control In October 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard that amends the consolidation analysis for a reporting entity that is the single decision maker of a variable interest entity (VIE). The new guidance will require the decision maker ’s evaluation of its interests held through related parties that are under common control on a proportionate basis (rather than in their entirety) when determining whether it is the primary beneficiary of that VIE. The amendment does not change the charac teristics of a primary beneficiary. We adopted the standard on its required effective date of January 1, 2017. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Future Application of Accounting Standards Revenue Recognition In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard that supersedes most existing revenue recognition guidance. The standard excludes from its scope the accounting for insurance contracts, leases, fi nancial instruments, and certain other agreements that are governed under other GAAP guidance, but could affect the revenue recognition for certain of our other activities. The standard is effective on January 1, 2018 and may be applied retrospectively or through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings at the date of adoption. Early adoption is permitted as of January 1, 2017, including interim periods. We are currently evaluating the impact to our revenue sources that are in scope of the standa rd. However, as the majority of our revenue sources are not in scope of the standard, we do not expect the adoption of the standard to have a material effect on our reported consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows . Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities In January 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard that will require equity investments that do not follow the equity method of accounting or are not subject to consolidation to be measure d at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings, while financial liabilities for which fair value option accounting has been elected, changes in fair value due to instrument-specific credit risk will be presented separately in other compr ehensive income. The standard allows the election to record equity investments without readily determinable fair values at cost, less impairment, adjusted for subsequent observable price changes with changes in the carrying value of the equity investments recorded in earnings. The standard also updates certain fair value disclosure requirements for financial instruments carried at amortized cost. The standard is effective on January 1, 2018, with early adoption of certain provisions permitted. We are asses sing the impact of the standard on our reported consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard that will require lessees with lease terms of more than 12 months to rec ognize a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability on their balance sheets. For income statement purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating leases or finance leases. The standard is effectiv e on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted using a modified retrospective approach. We are assessing the impact of the standard on our reported consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We are currently quantifying th e expected gross up of our balance sheet for a right to use asset and a lease liability as required by the standard. Financial Instruments - Credit Losses In June 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard that will change how entities account for credit losses for most financial assets, trade receivables and reinsurance receivables. The standard will replace the existing incurred loss impairment model wi th a new “current expected credit loss model” and will apply to financial assets subject to credit losses, those trade receivables measured at amortized cost, reinsurance receivables and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. The impairment for avail able-for-sale debt securities, including purchase credit deteriorated securities, will be measured in a similar manner, except that losses will be recognized as allowances rather than reductions in the amortized cost of the securities. The standard will a lso require additional information to be disclosed in the footnotes. The standard is effective on January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted on January 1, 2019. We are assessing the impact of the standard on our reported consolidated financial conditi on, results of operations and cash flows, but we expect an increase in our allowances for credit losses. The amount of the increase will be impacted by our portfolio composition and quality at the adoption date as well as economic conditions and forecasts at that time. Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments In August 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard that addresses diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash fl ows. The amendments provide clarity on the treatment of eight specifically defined types of cash inflows and outflows. The standard is effective on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted as long as all amendments are included in the same period. T he standard addresses presentation in the statement of cash flows only and will have no effect on our reported consolidated financial condition or results of operations. Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory In October 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard that will require an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs, rather than when the asset is sold to a third party. The standard is effect ive on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are assessing the impact of the standard on our reported consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Restricted Cash In November 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard that provides guidance on the presentation of restricted cash in the Statement of Cash Flows. Entities will be required to explain the changes during a reporting period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as re stricted cash or restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The standard is effective on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The standard addresses presentation of restricted cash in the Statement of Cash Flows only and will have no effect on our reported consolidated financial condition or results of operations. Clarifying the Definition of a Business In January 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standard that changes the definition of a business to assist entities with eval uating when a set of transferred assets and activities is a business. The new standard will require an entity to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar assets; if so, the set of transferred assets and activities is not a business. At a minimum, a set must include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output. The standard i s effective on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are assessing the impact of the standard on our reported consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Because the standard requires prospective adoption, the imp act is dependent on future acquisitions, dispositions and those entities that we consolidate due to obtaining a controlling financial interest. Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment In January 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standard that elimi nates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value not to exceed th e total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. An entity should also consider income tax effects from tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. The sta ndard is effective on January 1, 2020 with early adoption permitted on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We are currently reviewing the standard and assessing the impact of the standard on our reported consolidated financial condition, results of opera tions and cash flows. Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets In February 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standard that clarifies the scope and application of Other Income-Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial A ssets, to the sale or transfer of nonfinancial assets and in substance nonfinancial assets to noncustomers, including partial sales. The standard clarifies that a parent transferring its ownership interest in a consolidated subsidiary is within the scope o f the accounting standard if substantially all of the fair value of the assets within that subsidiary are nonfinancial assets. The standard also clarifies that the derecognition of all businesses and nonprofit activities should be accounted for in accordan ce with the derecognition and deconsolidation guidance. The standard also eliminates the exception in the financial asset guidance for transfers of investments (including equity method investments) in real estate entities. An entity is required to apply th e amendments in this update at the same time that it applies the amendments in revenues from contracts with customers. The standard is effective on January 1, 2018 and may be applied retrospectively to each period presented or through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings at the date of adoption (modified retrospective approach). Early adoption is permitted as of January 1, 2017, including interim periods. We are currently reviewing the standard and assessing the impact of the standard on o ur reported consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension and Postretirement Benefit Cost In March 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standard that requires entities to report the service cost component of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs in the same line item as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net periodic benefit costs are required to be separately presen ted in the income statement . The amendments also allow only the service cost component to be eligible for capitali zation when applicable. The standard is effective on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitt ed. The amendments should be applied retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost and othe r components, and prospectively for the capitalization of the service cost component. The standard addresses presentation of net periodic benefit costs i n the income statement and will have no effect on our reported consolidated financial condition, resu lts of operations or cash flows. Premium A mortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities In March 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standard that shor tens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. Specifically, the standard requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The standard does not require an accounting change for securities held at a di scount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. The standard is effective January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted as of January 1, 2017, including for interim periods. We are currently reviewing the standard and assessing the impact of the standard on our reported consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows .

HELD-FOR-SALE CLASSIFICATION
HELD-FOR-SALE CLASSIFICATION	4 . Held-For-Sale Classification Held-For-Sale Classification We report a business as held-for-sale when management has approved the sale or received approval to sell the business and is committed to a formal plan, the business is available for immediate sale, the business is being actively marketed, the sale is anticipated to occur during the next 12 months and certain other specified criteria are met. A business classified as held-for-sale is recorded at the lower of its carrying amount or estimated fair value less cost to sell. If the carrying amount of the bus iness exceeds its estimated fair value, a loss is recognized. Assets and liabilities related to the businesses classified as held-for-sale are separately reported in our Consolidated Balance Sheets beginning in the period in which the business is classifi ed as held-for-sale. At March 31, 2017 , the following businesses were reported as held-for-sale: United Guaranty Asia On August 15, 2016, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our 100 percent interest in United Guaranty Corpora tion (UGC) and certain related affiliates to Arch Capital Group Ltd. (Arch). This transaction closed on December 31, 2016 and we received proceeds of approximately $3.3 billion, consisting of $2.2 billion of cash, and approximately $1.1 billion of newly is sued Arch convertible non-voting common-equivalent preferred stock. We also received $261 million in pre-closing dividends from UGC in the fourth quarter of 2016. However, due to pending regulatory approvals, United Guaranty Asia was not included in the D ecember 31, 2016 closing and $40 million of cash consideration was retained by Arch. The closing with respect to United Guaranty Asia is expected to occur prior to year-end 2017, at which time AIG will receive the remaining consideration. Sale of Certain Insurance Subsidiary Operations to Fairfax On October 18, 2016, we entered into agreements to sell certain insurance operations to Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited (Fairfax).

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	5 . Fair Value Measurements Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet s are measured and classified in accordance with a fair value hierarchy consisting of three “levels” based on the observability of valuation inputs: Level 1: Fair value measurements based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that we have the abil ity to access for identical assets or liabilities. Market price data generally is obtained from exchange or dealer markets. We do not adjust the quoted price for such instruments. Level 2: Fair value measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices i ncluded in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in mar kets that are not active, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3: Fair value measurements based on valuation tech niques that use significant inputs that are unobservable. Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair values of positions classified in Level 3. The circumstances for using these measurements include those in which there is li ttle, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. Therefore, we must make certain assumptions about the inputs a hypothetical market participant would use to value that asset or liabili ty. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different leve ls of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The following table presents information about assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicates the level of the fair value measurement based on the observability of the inputs used: March 31, 2017 Counterparty Cash (in millions) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Netting (b) Collateral Total Assets: Bonds available for sale: U.S. government and government sponsored entities $ 51 $ 2,311 $ - $ - $ - $ 2,362 Obligations of states, municipalities and political subdivisions - 17,662 2,041 - - 19,703 Non-U.S. governments 183 14,108 16 - - 14,307 Corporate debt - 128,251 1,079 - - 129,330 RMBS - 18,800 16,487 - - 35,287 CMBS - 12,606 1,003 - - 13,609 CDO/ABS - 8,345 7,755 - - 16,100 Total bonds available for sale 234 202,083 28,381 - - 230,698 Other bond securities: U.S. government and government sponsored entities - 2,931 - - - 2,931 Non-U.S. governments - 50 - - - 50 Corporate debt - 1,755 18 - - 1,773 RMBS - 469 1,502 - - 1,971 CMBS - 471 65 - - 536 CDO/ABS - 836 5,508 - - 6,344 Total other bond securities - 6,512 7,093 - - 13,605 Equity securities available for sale: Common stock 978 - 8 - - 986 Preferred stock 825 - - - - 825 Mutual funds 286 2 - - - 288 Total equity securities available for sale 2,089 2 8 - - 2,099 Other equity securities 500 - - - - 500 Mortgage and other loans receivable - - 11 - - 11 Other invested assets (a) - 404 180 - - 584 Derivative assets: Interest rate contracts - 2,349 - - - 2,349 Foreign exchange contracts - 1,111 - - - 1,111 Equity contracts 274 111 62 - - 447 Credit contracts - - 2 - - 2 Other contracts - 4 17 - - 21 Counterparty netting and cash collateral - - - (1,269) (1,414) (2,683) Total derivative assets 274 3,575 81 (1,269) (1,414) 1,247 Short-term investments 2,110 343 - - - 2,453 Separate account assets 80,323 5,594 - - - 85,917 Total $ 85,530 $ 218,513 $ 35,754 $ (1,269) $ (1,414) $ 337,114 Liabilities: Policyholder contract deposits $ - $ 25 $ 3,072 $ - $ - $ 3,097 Other policyholder funds 5 - - - - 5 Derivative liabilities: Interest rate contracts 2 2,481 32 - - 2,515 Foreign exchange contracts - 1,099 6 - - 1,105 Equity contracts 38 10 - - - 48 Credit contracts - - 317 - - 317 Other contracts - - 6 - - 6 Counterparty netting and cash collateral - - - (1,269) (1,461) (2,730) Total derivative liabilities 40 3,590 361 (1,269) (1,461) 1,261 Long-term debt - 3,093 58 - - 3,151 Total $ 45 $ 6,708 $ 3,491 $ (1,269) $ (1,461) $ 7,514 December 31, 2016 Counterparty Cash (in millions) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Netting (b) Collateral Total Assets: Bonds available for sale: U.S. government and government sponsored entities $ 63 $ 1,929 $ - $ - $ - $ 1,992 Obligations of states, municipalities and political subdivisions - 22,732 2,040 - - 24,772 Non-U.S. governments 52 14,466 17 - - 14,535 Corporate debt - 131,047 1,133 - - 132,180 RMBS - 20,468 16,906 - - 37,374 CMBS - 12,231 2,040 - - 14,271 CDO/ABS - 8,578 7,835 - - 16,413 Total bonds available for sale 115 211,451 29,971 - - 241,537 Other bond securities: U.S. government and government sponsored entities - 2,939 - - - 2,939 Non-U.S. governments - 51 - - - 51 Corporate debt - 1,755 17 - - 1,772 RMBS - 420 1,605 - - 2,025 CMBS - 448 155 - - 603 CDO/ABS - 905 5,703 - - 6,608 Total other bond securities - 6,518 7,480 - - 13,998 Equity securities available for sale: Common stock 1,056 9 - - - 1,065 Preferred stock 752 - - - - 752 Mutual funds 260 1 - - - 261 Total equity securities available for sale 2,068 10 - - - 2,078 Other equity securities 482 - - - - 482 Mortgage and other loans receivable - - 11 - - 11 Other invested assets (a) - 1 204 - - 205 Derivative assets: Interest rate contracts - 2,328 - - - 2,328 Foreign exchange contracts - 1,320 - - - 1,320 Equity contracts 188 59 58 - - 305 Credit contracts - - 2 - - 2 Other contracts - 6 16 - - 22 Counterparty netting and cash collateral - - - (1,265) (903) (2,168) Total derivative assets 188 3,713 76 (1,265) (903) 1,809 Short-term investments 2,660 681 - - - 3,341 Separate account assets 77,318 5,654 - - - 82,972 Total $ 82,831 $ 228,028 $ 37,742 $ (1,265) $ (903) $ 346,433 Liabilities: Policyholder contract deposits $ - $ 25 $ 3,033 $ - $ - $ 3,058 Other policyholder funds 5 - - - - 5 Derivative liabilities: Interest rate contracts - 3,039 38 - - 3,077 Foreign exchange contracts - 1,358 11 - - 1,369 Equity contracts 12 7 - - - 19 Credit contracts - - 331 - - 331 Other contracts - 1 5 - - 6 Counterparty netting and cash collateral - - - (1,265) (1,521) (2,786) Total derivative liabilities 12 4,405 385 (1,265) (1,521) 2,016 Long-term debt - 3,357 71 - - 3,428 Total $ 17 $ 7,787 $ 3,489 $ (1,265) $ (1,521) $ 8,507 (a) Excludes investments that are meas ured at fair value using the net asset v alue (NAV) per share (or its equivalent), which totaled $ 6.5 billion and $ 6.7 billion as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. (b) Represents netting of derivative exposures covered by qualifying master netting agreements. Transfers of Level 1 and Level 2 Assets and Liabilities Our policy is to record transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 at their fair values as of the end of each reporting period, consistent with the date of the determination of fair value. Assets are transferred out of Level 1 when they are no longer transacted with sufficient frequency and volume in an act ive market. Conversely, assets are transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 when transaction volume and frequency are indicative of an active market. During the three -month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , we transf erred $ 53 million and $ 83 million, respectively, of securities issued by Non-U.S. government entities from Level 1 to Level 2, as they are no longer considered actively traded. For similar reasons, during the three -month period ended March 31, 2017 , we transferred $ 63 million of securities issued by the U.S. government and government sponsored entities from Level 1 to Level 2; there were no such transfers during t he three -month period ended March 31, 2016 . We had no material transfers from Level 2 to Level 1 during the three -month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 . Changes in Level 3 Recurring F air Value Measurements The following tables present changes during the three -month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 in Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, and the realized and unrealized gains (losses) related to the Level 3 assets and liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2017 and 2016 : Net Changes in Realized and Purchases, Unrealized Gains Unrealized Sales, Reclassified (Losses) Included Fair Value Gains (Losses) Other Issues and Gross Gross to Assets Fair Value in Income on Beginning Included Comprehensive Settlements, Transfers Transfers Divested Held for End Instruments Held (in millions) of Period in Income Income (Loss) Net in out Businesses Sale of Period at End of Period Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 Assets: Bonds available for sale: Obligations of states, municipalities and political subdivisions $ 2,040 $ 2 $ (4) $ 21 $ -

As a result, the unrealized gains (losses) on instruments held at March 31, 2017 and 2016 may include changes in fair value that were attr ibutable to both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable inputs (e.g., changes in unobservable long-dated volatilities) . Transfers of Level 3 Assets and Liabilities We record transfers of assets and liabilities into or out of L evel 3 classification at their fair values as of the end of each reporting period, consistent with the date of the determination of fair value. The Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) included in income or Other comprehensive income (loss) as shown in the table above excluded $ 8 million and $ 13 million of net losses related to assets and liabilities transferred into Level 3 during the three -month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively, and included $ 1 million of net gains and $ 45 million of net losses related to assets and liabilities transferred out of Level 3 during the three -month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. Transfers of Level 3 Assets During the three -month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , transfers into Level 3 assets primarily included certain investmen ts in private placement corporate debt, CDO/ABS and RMBS . Transfers of private placement cor porate debt and certain ABS into Level 3 assets were primarily the result of limited market pricing information that required us to determine fair value for these securities based on inputs that are adjusted to better reflect our own assumptions regarding the characteristics of a specific security or associated market liquidity . The transfers of investments in RMBS and CDO and certain ABS into Level 3 assets were due to decreases in market transparency and liquidity for individual security types. During th e three -month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , transfers out of Level 3 assets primarily included private placement and other corporate debt, CMBS, RMBS, CDO/ABS and certain investments in municipal securities . Transfers of certain investments municipal securities, corporate debt, RMBS, CMBS and CDO/ABS out of Level 3 assets were based on consideration of market liquidity as well as related transparency of pricing and associated observable inputs for these investments. Transfers of certain investments in private placement corporate debt and certa in ABS out of Level 3 assets were primarily the result of using observable pricing information that reflects the fair value of those securities without the need for adjustment based on our own assumptions regarding the characteristics of a specific securit y or the current liquidity in the market. Transfers of Level 3 Liabilities There were no significant transfers of derivative or other liabilities into or out of Level 3 for the three -month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 . Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements The table below presents information about the significant unobservable inputs used for recurring fair value measurements for certain Level 3 instruments, and includes only those instruments for which information about the inputs is reasonably available to us , such as data from independent third-party valuation service providers and from internal valuation models. Because input information from third-parties with respect to certain Level 3 in struments (primarily CDO/ABS) may not be reasonably available to us , balances shown below may not equal total amounts reported for such Level 3 assets and liabilities: Fair Value at March 31, Valuation Range (in millions) 2017 Technique Unobservable Input (b) (Weighted Average) Assets: Obligations of states, municipalities and political subdivisions $ 1,263 Discounted cash flow Yield 3.97% - 5.06% (4.51%) Corporate debt 536 Discounted cash flow Yield 3.16% - 6.10% (4.63%) RMBS (a) 16,780 Discounted cash flow Constant prepayment rate 1.81% - 9.65% (5.73%) Loss severity 48.00% - 80.38% (64.19%) Constant default rate 3.20% - 8.38% (5.79%) Yield 3.17% - 5.73% (4.45%) CDO/ABS (a) 4,699 Discounted cash flow Yield 3.38% - 5.68% (4.53%) CMBS 615 Discounted cash flow Yield 2.32% - 8.45% (5.38%) Liabilities: Embedded derivatives within Policyholder contract deposits: Guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits (GMWB) 1,671 Discounted cash flow Equity volatility 8.00% - 50.00% Base lapse rate 0.50% - 20.00% Dynamic lapse multiplier 30.00% - 170.00% Mortality multiplier (c) 42.00% - 161.00% Utilization 100.00% Equity / interest-rate correlation 20.00% - 40.00% Index Annuities 964 Discounted cash flow Lapse rate 1.00% - 66.00% Mortality multiplier (c) 101.00% - 103.00% Indexed Life 414 Discounted cash flow Base lapse rate 2.00% to 19.00% Mortality rate 0.00% to 40.00% Fair Value at December 31, Valuation Range (in millions) 2016 Technique Unobservable Input (b) (Weighted Average) Assets: Obligations of states, municipalities and political subdivisions $ 1,248 Discounted cash flow Yield 4.12% - 4.91% (4.52%) Corporate debt 498 Discounted cash flow Yield 3.41% - 6.38% (4.90%) RMBS (a) 17,412 Discounted cash flow Constant prepayment rate 3.95% - 6.54% (5.25%) Loss severity 47.51% - 80.98% (64.24%) Constant default rate 3.28% - 8.64% (5.96%) Yield 3.28% - 5.87% (4.57%) CDO/ABS (a) 4,368 Discounted cash flow Yield 3.67% - 5.85% (4.76%) CMBS 1,511 Discounted cash flow Yield 0.48% - 10.21% (5.34%) Liabilities: Embedded derivatives within Policyholder contract deposits: GMWB 1,777 Discounted cash flow Equity volatility 13.00% - 50.00% Base lapse rate 0.50% - 20.00% Dynamic lapse multiplier 30.00% - 170.00% Mortality multiplier (c) 42.00% - 161.00% Utilization 100.00% Equity / interest-rate correlation 20.00% - 40.00% Index Annuities 859 Discounted cash flow Lapse rate 1.00% - 66.00% Mortality multiplier (c) 101.00% - 103.00% Indexed Life 381 Discounted cash flow Base lapse rate 2.00% - 19.00% Mortality rate 0.00% - 40.00% (a) Information received from third-party valuation service providers. The ranges of the unobservable inputs for constant prepayment rate, loss severity and constant default rate relate to each of the individual underlying mortgage loans that comprise the entire portfolio of securities in the RMBS and CDO securitization vehicles and not necessarily to the securitization vehicle bonds (tranches) purchased by us. The ranges of these inputs do not directly correlate to changes in the fair values of the tra nches purchased by us, because there are other factors relevant to the fair values of specific tranches owned by us including, but not limited to, purchase price, position in the waterfall, senior versus subordinated position and attachment points. (b) Rep resents discount rates, estimates and assumptions that we believe would be used by market participants when valuing these assets and liabilities. (c) Mortality input s are shown as multipliers of the 2012 Individual Annuity Mortality Basic table for GMWB , and the 1975-1980 Modified Basic Table for in dex annuities. The ranges of reported inputs for Obligations of states, municipalities and political subdivisions, Corporate debt, RMBS, CDO/ABS, and CMBS valued using a discounted cash flow technique consist of one standard deviation in either direction f rom the value -weighted average. The preceding table does not give effect to our risk management practices that might offset risks inherent in these Level 3 assets and liabilities. Sensitivity to Changes in Unobservable Inputs We consider unobservable input s to be those for which market data is not available and that are developed using the best information available to us about the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. Relevant inputs vary depending on the natur e of the instrument being measured at fair value. The following paragraphs provide a general description of sensitivities of significant unobservable inputs along with interrelationships between and among the significant unobservable inputs and their impac t on the fair value measurements. The effect of a change in a particular assumption in the sensitivity analysis below is considered independently of changes in any other assumptions. In practice, simultaneous changes in assumptions may not always have a li near effect on the inputs discussed below. Interrelationships may also exist between observable and unobservable inputs. Such relationships have not been included in the discussion below. For each of the individual relationships described below, the invers e relationship would also generally apply. Obligations of States, Municipalities and Political Subdivisions The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of certain investments in obligations of states, municipalities and political subdivisions is yield. In general, increases in the yield would decrease the fair value of investments in obligations of states, municipalities and political subdivisions. Corporate Debt Corporate debt securities included in Level 3 are primarily private placement issuances that are not traded in active markets or that are subject to transfer restrictions. Fair value measurements consider illiquidity and non -transferability. When observable price quotations are not available, fair value is determined based on discounted cash flow models using discount rates based on credit spreads, yields or price levels of publicly -traded debt of the issuer or other comparable securities, considering illiquidity and structure. The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of corporate debt is the yield. The yield is affected by the market movements in credit spreads and U.S. Treasury yields. In addition, the migration in credit quality of a given security generally has a corresponding effect on the f air value measurement of the security. For example, a downward migration of credit quality would increase spreads. Holding U.S. Treasury rates constant, an increase in corporate credit spreads would decrease the fair value of corporate debt . RMBS and CDO /ABS The significant unobservable inputs used in fair value measurements of RMBS and certain CDO/ABS valued by third -party valuation service providers are constant prepayment rates (CPR), loss severity, constant default rates (CDR), and yield. A change in the assumptions used for the probability of default will generally be accompanied by a corresponding change in the assumption used for the loss severity and an inverse change in the assumption used for prepayment rates. In general, increases in CPR, loss s everity, CDR, and yield, in isolation, would result in a decrease in the fair value measurement. Changes in fair value based on variations in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship between the directional change of each input is not usually linear . CMBS The significant unobservable input used in fair value measurements for CMBS is the yield. Prepayment assumptions for each mortgage pool are factored into the yield. CMBS generally feature a lower degree of prepayment risk than RMBS because commercial mortgages generally contain a penalty for prepayment. In general, increases in the yield would decrease the fair value of CMBS . Embedded derivatives within Policyholder contract deposits Embedded derivatives reported within Policyholder contract deposits include guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits (GMWB) within variable annuity products and interest crediting rates based on market indices within index annuities, indexed life and guaranteed investment contracts (GICs). For any given contract, assumptions for unobservable inputs vary throughout the period over which cash flows are projected for purposes of valuing the embedded derivative. The following unobservable inputs are used for valuing embedded derivatives measured at fair value: Long-term equity volatilities represent equity volatility beyond the period for which o bservable equity volatilities are available. Increases in assumed volatility will generally increase the fair value of both the projected cash flows from rider fees as well as the projected cash flows related to benefit payments . Therefore, the net change in the fair value of the liability may be either a decrease or an increase, depending on the relative changes in projected rider fees and projected benefit payments. Equity / interest rate correlation estimates the relationship between changes in equity r eturns and interest rates in the economic scenario generator used to value our GMWB embedded derivatives. In general, a higher positive correlation assumes that equity markets and interest rates move in a more correlated fashion, which generally increases the fair value of the liability. Base lapse rate assumptions are determined by company experience and are adjusted at the contract level using a dynamic lapse function, which reduces the base lapse rate when the contract is in-the-money (when the contra ct holder’s guaranteed value, as estimated by the company, is worth more than their underlying account value). Lapse rates are also generally assumed to be lower in periods when a surrender charge applies. Increases in assumed lapse rates will generally de crease the fair value of the liability, as fewer policyholders would persist to collect guaranteed withdrawal amounts, but in certain scenarios, increases in assumed lapse rates may increase the fair value of the liability. Mortality rate assumptions, whi ch vary by age and gender, are based on company experience and include a mortality improvement assumption. Increases in assumed mortality rates will decrease the fair value of the liability, while lower mortality rate assumptions will generally increase th e fair value of the liability, because guaranteed payments will be made for a longer period of time. Utilization assumptions estimate the timing when policyholders with a GMWB will elect to utilize their benefit and begin taking withdrawals. The assumption s may vary by the type of guarantee, tax-qualified status, the contract’s withdrawal history and the age of the policyholder. Utilization assumptions are based on company experience, which includ es partial withdrawal behavior. Increases in assumed utiliza tion rates will generally increase the fair value of the liability .

Evaluating Investments for Other-Than-Temporary Impairments For a discussion of our policy for evaluating investments for other-than-temporary impairments, see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 201 6 Annual Report. Credit Impairments The following table presents a rollforward of the cumulative credit losses in other-than-temporary impairments recognized in earnings for available for sale fixed matu rity securities: Three Months Ended March 31, (in millions) 2017 2016 Balance, beginning of year $ 1,098 $ 1,747 Increases due to: Credit impairments on new securities subject to impairment losses 17 110 Additional credit impairments on previously impaired securities 30 55 Reductions due to: Credit impaired securities fully disposed for which there was no prior intent or requirement to sell (11) (150) Accretion on securities previously impaired due to credit * (188) (239) Other - - Balance, end of period $ 946 $ 1,523 * Represents both accretion recognized due to changes in cash flows expected to be collected over the remaining expected term of the credit impaired securities and the accretion due to the passage of time. Purchased Credit Impaired (PCI) Securities We purchase certain RMBS securities that have experienced deterioration in credit quality since their issuance. We determine whether it is probable at acquisition that we will not collect all contractually required payments for these PCI securities, including both principal and interest. At acquisition, the timing and amount of the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be received on each PCI security is determined based on our best estimate using key assumptions, such as interest rates, default rates and prepayment speeds. At acquisition, the difference between the undiscounted expected future cash flows of the PCI securities and the recorded investment in the securities represents the initial accretable yield, which is accreted into Net investment income over their remaining lives on an effective yield basis. Additionally, the diff erence between the contractually required payments on the PCI securities and the undiscounted expected future cash flows represents the non-accretable difference at acquisition. The accretable yield and the non-accretable difference will change over time, based on actual payments received and changes in estimates of undiscounted expected future cash flows, which are discussed further below. On a quarterly basis, the undiscounted expected future cash flows associated with PCI securities are re-evaluated based on updates to key assumptions. Declines in undiscounted expected future cash flows due to further credit deterioration as well as changes in the expected timing of the cash f lows can result in the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment charge, as PCI securities are subject to our policy for evaluating investments for other-than-temporary impairment. Changes to undiscounted expected future cash flows due solely to th e changes in the contractual benchmark interest rates on variable rate PCI securities will change the accretable yield prospectively. Significant increases in undiscounted expected future cash flows for reasons other than interest rate changes are recogniz ed prospectively as adjustments to the accretable yield. The following tables present information on our PCI securities, which are included in bonds available for sale: (in millions) At Date of Acquisition Contractually required payments (principal and interest) $ 36,159 Cash flows expected to be collected * 29,575 Recorded investment in acquired securities 19,884 * Represents undiscounted expect ed cash flows, including both principal and interes t .

Our secured financing transactions also include those that involve the transfer of securities to financial institutions in exchange for cash (securities lending agree ments). In all of these secured financing transactions, the securities transferred by us (pledged collateral) may be sold or repledged by the counterparties. These agreements are recorded at their contracted amounts plus accrued interest, other than those that are accounted for at fair value. Pledged collateral levels are monitored daily and are generally maintained at an agreed-upon percentage of the fair value of the amounts borrowed during the life of the transactions. In the event of a decline in the fa ir value of the pledged collateral under these secured financing transactions, we may be required to transfer cash or additional securities as pledged collateral under these agreements. At the termination of the transactions, we and our counterparties are obligated to return the amounts borrowed and the securities transferred, respectively. The following table presents the fair value of securities pledged to counterparties under secured financing transactions, including repurchase and securities lending ag reements: (in millions) March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Fixed maturity securities available for sale $ 2,405 $ 2,389 Other bond securities, at fair value $ 1,776 $ 1,799 At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , amounts borrowed under repurchase and securities lending agreements totaled $ 4.3 billion and $ 4.2 billion , respectively.

These agreements are recorded at their contracted resale amounts plus accr ued interest, other than those that are accounted for at fair value. In all reverse repurchase transactions, we take possession of or obtain a security interest in the related securities, and we have the right to sell or repledge this collateral received. The following table presents information on the fair value of securities pledged to us under reverse repurchase agreements: (in millions) March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Securities collateral pledged to us $ 1,459 $ 1,434 Amount sold or repledged by us $ 14 $ 11 Insurance – Statutory and Other Deposits Total carrying values of cash and securities deposited by our insurance subsidiaries under requirements of regulatory authorities or other insurance-related arrangements, including certain annuity-related obligations and certain reinsurance treaties, were $ 5.1 billion and $ 4.9 billion at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. Other Pledges and Restrictions Certain of our subsidiaries are members of Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBs) and such membership requires the members to own stock in these FHLBs. We owned an aggregate of $ 116 million and $ 114 milli on of stock in FHLBs at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. In addition, our subsidiaries have pledged securities available for sale and residential loans associated with advances from FHLB, with a fair value of $ 4.5 billion and $ 116 million, respectively, at March 31, 2017 and $ 3.4 billion and $ 17 million, respecti vely, at December 31, 2016 , associated with advances from the FHLBs. Certain GIAs have provisions that require collateral to be posted or payments to be made by us upon a downgrade of our long-term debt ratings. The actual amount of collateral required to be posted to the counterparties in the event of such downgrades, and the aggregate amount of payments that we could be required to make, depend on market conditions, the fair value of outstanding affected transactions and other factors prevaili ng at and after the time of the downgrade. The fair value of securities pledged as collateral with respect to these obligations was approximately $ 2.2 billion at both March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 . This collateral primarily consists of securities of the U.S. government and government sponsored entities and generally cannot be repledged or resold by the counterparties. Investments held in escrow accounts or otherwise subject to restriction as to their use were $ 545 million and $ 523 million, comprised of bonds available for sale and short term investments at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively.

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES	8. Variable Interest Entities We enter into various arrangements with VIEs in the normal course of business and consolidate the VIEs when we determine we are the primary beneficiary. This analysis includes a review of the VIE’s capital structure, related contractual relationships and terms, nature of the VIE’s operations and purp ose, nature of the VIE’s interests issued and our involvement with the entity. When assessing the need to consolidate a VIE, we evaluate the design of the VIE as well as the related risks the entity was designed to expose the variable interest holders to. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has both (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the entity’s economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be po tentially significant to the VIE. While also considering these factors, the consolidation conclusion depends on the breadth of our decision-making ability and our ability to influence activities that significantly affect the economic performance of the VI E. Balance Sheet Classification and Exposure to Loss The following table presents the total assets and total liabilities associated with our variable interests in consolidated VIEs, as classified in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets: (in millions) Real Estate and Investment Entities (d) Securitization Vehicles (e) Structured Investment Vehicle Affordable Housing Partnerships Other Total March 31, 2017 Assets: Bonds available for sale $ - $ 9,534 $ - $ - $ - $ 9,534 Other bond securities - 4,751 263 - 5 5,019 Mortgage and other loans receivable - 1,328 - - - 1,328 Other invested assets 1,029 281 - 3,118 24 4,452 Other (a) 244 1,158 59 436 90 1,987 Total assets (b) $ 1,273 $ 17,052 $ 322 $ 3,554 $ 119 $ 22,320 Liabilities: Long-term debt $ 428 $ 682 $ 58 $ 1,880 $ 5 $ 3,053 Other (c) 94 215 1 217 37 564 Total liabilities $ 522 $ 897 $ 59 $ 2,097 $ 42 $ 3,617 December 31, 2016 Assets: Bonds available for sale $ - $ 10,233 $ - $ - $ - $ 10,233 Other bond securities - 4,858 266 - 5 5,129 Mortgage and other loans receivable 1 1,442 - - 104 1,547 Other invested assets 1,052 321 - 2,821 28 4,222 Other (a) 365 1,104 50 384 92 1,995 Total assets (b) $ 1,418 $ 17,958 $ 316 $ 3,205 $ 229 $ 23,126 Liabilities: Long-term debt $ 444 $ 771 $ 56 $ 1,696 $ 6 $ 2,973 Other (c) 224 203 1 211 38 677 Total liabilities $ 668 $ 974 $ 57 $ 1,907 $ 44 $ 3,650 (a) Comprised primarily of Short-term investments and Other assets at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 . (b) The assets of each VIE can be used only to settle specific obligations of that VIE. (c) Comprised primarily of Other liabilities and Derivative liabilities, at fair value, at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 . (d) At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , off-balance sheet exposure primarily consisting of commitments to real estate and investment entities was $ 93 million and $ 106 million, respectively. (e) At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , $ 17.0 billion and $ 17.3 billion, respectively, of the total assets of consolidated securitization vehicles were owed to AIG Parent or its subsidiaries. We calculate our maximu m exposure to loss to be (i) the amount invested in the debt or equity of the VIE, (ii) the notional amount of VIE assets or liabilities where we have also provided credit protection to the VIE with the VIE as the referenced obligation, and (iii) other com mitments and guarantees to the VIE. Interest holders in VIEs sponsored by us generally have recourse only to the assets and cash flows of the VIEs and do not have recourse to us, except in limited circumstances when we have provided a guarantee to the VIE’ s interest holders.

DERIVATIVES AND HEDGE ACCOUNTING
DERIVATIVES AND HEDGE ACCOUNTING	9. Derivatives and Hedge Accounting We use derivatives and other financial instruments as part of our financial risk management programs and as part of our investment operations. See Note 1 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2016 Annual Report for a discussion of our accounting policies and procedures regarding derivatives and hedge accounting. Our businesses use derivatives and other instruments as part of their financial risk management. Interest rate derivatives (such as in terest rate swaps) are used to manage interest rate risk associated with embedded derivatives contained in insurance contract liabilities, fixed maturity securities, outstanding medium - and long -term notes as well as other interest rate sensitive assets an d liabilities. Foreign exchange derivatives (principally foreign exchange forwards and options) are used to economically mitigate risk associated with non -U.S. dollar denominated debt, net capital exposures, and foreign currency transactions. Equity deriva tives are used to mitigate financial risk embedded in certain insurance liabilities. The derivatives are effective economic hedges of the exposures that they are meant to offset. In addition to hedging activities, we also enter into derivative instruments with respect to investment operations, which may include, among other things, CDSs and purchases of investments with embedded derivatives, such as equity -linked notes and convertible bonds . The following table presents the notional amounts of our derivativ e s and the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets: March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Gross Derivative Assets Gross Derivative Liabilities Gross Derivative Assets Gross Derivative Liabilities Notional Fair Notional Fair Notional Fair Notional Fair (in millions) Amount Value Amount Value Amount Value Amount Value Derivatives designated as hedging instruments: (a) Interest rate contracts $ 155 $ 1 $ 761 $ 11 $ 175 $ - $ 782 $ 11 Foreign exchange contracts 4,353 340 2,361 71 3,527 385 2,602 184 Equity contracts - - 119 9 - - 113 7 Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments: (a) Interest rate contracts 59,814 2,348 27,134 2,504 51,030 2,328 44,211 3,066 Foreign exchange contracts 6,383 771 9,268 1,034 9,468 935 7,674 1,185 Equity contracts 21,506 447 2,703 39 14,060 305 8,633 12 Credit contracts (b) 3 2 825 317 4 2 861 331 Other contracts (c) 39,113 21 61 6 37,633 22 62 6 Total derivatives, gross $ 131,327 $ 3,930 $ 43,232 $ 3,991 $ 115,897 $ 3,977 $ 64,938 $ 4,802 Counterparty netting (d) (1,269) (1,269) (1,265) (1,265) Cash collateral (e) (1,414) (1,461) (903) (1,521) Total derivatives on condensed consolidated balance sheets (f) $ 1,247 $ 1,261 $ 1,809 $ 2,016 (a) Fair value amounts are shown before the effects of counterparty netting adjustments and offsetting cash collateral. (b ) As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , included CDSs on super senior multi-sector CDOs with a net notional amount of $ 774 m illion and $ 801 m illion (fair value liability of $ 299 million and $ 308 million), respectively. The expected weighted average maturity as of March 31, 2017 is six years. Because of long-term maturities of the CDSs in the portfolio, we are unable to make reasonable estimates of the periods during which any payments would be made. However, the net notional amount r epresents the maximum exposure to loss on the portfolio. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , there were no super senior corporate debt/CLOs remaining. (c) Consists primarily of stable value wraps and contracts with mu ltiple underlying exposures. (d) Represents netting of derivative exposures covered by a qualifying master netting agreement. (e) Represents cash collateral posted and received that is eligible for netting. (f) Freestanding derivatives only, excludes Embed ded derivatives. Derivative instrument assets and liabilities are recorded in Other Assets and Liabilities, respectively. Fair value of assets related to bifurcated Embedded derivatives was zero at both March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2 016. Fair value of liabilities related to bifurcated Embedded derivatives was $ 3.1 billion at both March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. A bifurcated Embedded derivative is generally presented with the host contr act in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Embedded derivatives are primarily related to guarantee features in variable annuity products, which include equity and interest rate components. Collateral We engage in derivative transactions that are not subject to a clearing requirement directly with unaffiliated third parties, in most cases, under International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA) Master Agreements. Many of the ISDA Master Agreements also include Credit Support Annex (CSA) provisions, which provide for collateral postings that may vary at various ratings and threshold levels. We attempt to reduce our risk with certain counterparties by entering into agreements that en able collateral to be obtained from a counterparty on an upfront or contingent basis. We minimize the risk that counterparties might be unable to fulfill their contractual obligations by monitoring counterparty credit exposure and collateral value and gene rally requiring additional collateral to be posted upon the occurrence of certain events or circumstances. In addition, certain derivative transactions have provisions that require collateral to be posted upon a downgrade of our long -term debt ratings or g ive the counterparty the right to terminate the transaction. In the case of some of the derivative transactions, upon a downgrade of our long -term debt ratings, as an alternative to posting collateral and subject to certain conditions, we may assign the tr ansaction to an obligor with higher debt ratings or arrange for a substitute guarantee of our obligations by an obligor with higher debt ratings or take other similar action. The actual amount of collateral required to be posted to counterparties in the ev ent of such downgrades, or the aggregate amount of payments that we could be required to make, depends on market conditions, the fair value of outstanding affected transactions and other factors prevailing at and after the time of the downgrade. Collateral posted by us to third parties for derivative transactions was $ 3.6 billion and $ 4.5 billion at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. In the case of collateral poste d under derivative transactions that are not subject to clearing, this collateral can generally be repledged or resold by the counterparties. Collateral provided to us from third parties for derivative transactions was $ 1.4 billion and $ 1.5 billion at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. In the case of collateral provided to us under derivative transactions that are not subject to clearing, we generally can repledge or r esell collateral. Offsetting We have elected to present all derivative receivables and derivative payables, and the related cash collateral received and paid, on a net basis on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets when a legally enforceable ISDA Master Agreement exists between us and our derivative counterparty. An ISDA Master Agreement is an agreement governing multiple derivative transactions between two counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreement generally provides for the net settlement of all, or a specified group, of these derivative transactions, as well as transferred collateral, through a single payment, and in a single currency, as applicable. The net settlement provisions apply in the event of a default on, or affecting any, one derivative transaction or a termination event affecting all, or a specified group of, derivative transactions governed by the ISDA Master Agreement. Hedge Accounting We designated certain derivatives entere d into with third parties as fair value hedges of available for sale investment securities held by our insurance subsidiaries. The fair value hedges include foreign currency forwards and cross currency swaps designated as hedges of the change in fair value of foreign currency denominated available for sale securities attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates. We also designated certain interest rate swaps entered into with third parties as fair value hedges of fixed rate GICs attributable to changes in benchmark interest rates . We use foreign currency denominated debt and cross-currency swaps as hedging instruments in net investment hedge relationships to mitigate the foreign exchange risk associated with our non-U.S. dollar functional currency forei gn subsidiaries. For net investment hedge relationships where issued debt is used as a hedging instrument, we assess the hedge effectiveness and measure the amount of ineffectiveness based on changes in spot rates. For net investment hedge relationships th at use derivatives as hedging instruments, we assess hedge effectiveness and measure hedge ineffectiveness using changes in forward rates. For the three -month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , we recognized losses of $ 42 million and $ 5 million, respectively, included in Change in foreign currency translation adjustment in Other comprehensive income related to the net investment hedge relationships. A qualitative me thodology is utilized to assess hedge effectiveness for net investment hedges, while regression analysis is employed for all other hedges.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments The following table presents the effect of derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments i n the Condensed Cons olidated Statement s of Income : Gains (Losses) Three Months Ended March 31, Recognized in Earnings (in millions) 2017 2016 By Derivative Type: Interest rate contracts $ (152) $ 770 Foreign exchange contracts (46) (28) Equity contracts (314) (131) Commodity contracts - - Credit contracts 15 6 Other contracts 18 16 Embedded derivatives 146 (772) Total $ (333) $ (139) By Classification: Policy fees $ 20 $ 20 Net investment income (2) (1) Net realized capital losses (384) (35) Other income (losses) 33 (130) Policyholder benefits and claims incurred - 7 Total $ (333) $ (139) Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features The aggregate fair value of our derivative instruments that contain credit risk-related contingent features that were in a net liability position at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , was approximately $ 2.3 billion and $ 3.0 billion, respectively. The aggregate fair value of assets posted as collateral under these contracts at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , was approximately $ 3.0 billion and $ 4.0 billion, respectively. We estimate that at March 31, 2017 , based on our outstanding financial derivative transactions, a downgrade of our long-term s enior debt ratings to BBB or BBB– by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC, a subsidiary of S&P Global Inc., and/or a downgrade to Baa2 or Baa3 by Moody’s Investors’ Service, Inc. would permit counterparties to make additional collateral calls and permi t certain counterparties to elect early termination of contracts, resulting in corresponding collateral postings and termination payments in the total amount of up to approximately $ 122 million. Additional collateral postings upon downgrade are estimated based on the factors in the individual collateral posting provisions of the CSA with each counterparty and current exposure as of March 31, 2017 . Factors considered in estimating the termination payments upon downgrade inc lude current market conditions and the terms of the respective CSA provisions. Our estimates are also based on the assumption that counterparties will terminate based on their net exposure to us. The actual termination payments could differ from our estima tes given market conditions at the time of downgrade and the level of uncertainty in estimating both the number of counterparties who may elect to exercise their right to terminate and the payment that may be triggered in connection with any such exercise. Hybrid Securities with Embedded Credit Derivatives We invest in hybrid securities (such as credit -linked notes) with the intent of generating income, and not specifically to acquire exposure to embedded derivative risk. As is the case with our other investments in RMBS, CMBS, CDOs and ABS, our investments in these hybrid securities are exposed to losses only up to the amount of our initial investment in the hybrid security. Other than our initial investment in the hybrid securities, we have no further obligation to make payments on the embedded credit derivatives in the related hybrid securities. We elect to account for our investments in these hybrid securities with embedded written credit derivatives at fair value, with changes in fair value recogniz ed in Net investment income and Other income. Our investments in these hybrid securities are reported as Other bond securities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair values of these hybrid securities were $ 4.6 billion and $ 4.8 billion at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively . These securities have par amounts of $ 9.9 billion and $ 10.1 billion at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively, and have remaining stated maturit y dates that extend to 2052.

LIABILITY FOR UNPAID CLAIMS AND CLAIMS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSE, FUTURE POLICY BENEFITS FOR LIFE AND ACCIDENT AND HEALTH INSURANCE CONTRACTS, AND POLICYHOLDER CONTRACT DEPOSITS	10. Insurance Liabilities Liability for Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expense s (Loss Reserves) Loss reserves represent the accumulation of estimates of unpaid claims, including estimates for claims incurred but not reported (IBNR) and loss adjustment expenses ( LAE ), less applicable discount. We regularly review and update the methods used to determine loss reserve est imates. Any adjustments resulting from this review are reflected currently in pre-tax income. Because these estimates are subject to the outcome of future events, changes in estimates are common given that loss trends vary and time is often required for ch anges in trends to be recognized and confirmed. Reserve changes that increase previous estimates of ultimate cost are referred to as unfavorable or adverse development or reserve strengthening. Reserve changes that decrease previous estimates of ultimate c ost are referred to as favorable development. Our gross loss reserves before reinsurance and discount are net of contractual deductible recoverable amounts due from policyholders of approximately $ 12.8 billion at both March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 . These recoverable amounts are related to certain policies with high deductibles (in excess of high dollar amounts retained by the insured through self-insured retentions, deductibles, retrospective pro grams, or captive arrangements, each referred to generically as “deductibles”), primarily for U.S. commercial casualty business. With respect to the deductible portion of the claim, we manage and pay the entire claim on behalf of the insured and are reimbu rsed by the insured for the deductible portion of the claim. Thus, these recoverable amounts represent a credit exposure to us. At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , we held collateral of approximately $ 9.8 billion and $ 9.7 billion, respectively, for these deductible recoverable amounts, consisting primarily of letters of credit and funded trust agreements. The following table presents the roll forward of activity in Loss Reserves: Three Months Ended March 31, (in millions) 2017 2016 Liability for unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses, beginning of year $ 77,077 $ 74,942 Reinsurance recoverable (15,532) (14,339) Net Liability for unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses, beginning of year 61,545 60,603 Foreign exchange effect (105) (160) Dispositions (a) - - Retroactive reinsurance adjustment (net of discount) (b) (11,199) - Total 50,241 60,443 Losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred : Current year 4,300 4,912 Prior years, excluding discount 25 (66) Prior years, discount charge (benefit) (25) (9) Total losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred 4,300 4,837 Losses and loss adjustment expenses paid : Current year (571) (580) Prior years (4,753) (4,966) Total losses and loss adjustment expenses paid (5,324) (5,546) Reclassified to liabilities held for sale (c) (87) - Liability for unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses, end of period: Net liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses 49,130 59,734 Reinsurance recoverable 26,920 14,212 Total $ 76,050 $ 73,946 (a) Includes amounts related to dispositions through the date of disposition. Includes sale of UGC and Ascot. (b) Includes discount on retroactive r einsurance in the amount of $1.7 billion. (c) Represents change in loss reserves included in our pending sale of certain of our insurance operations to Fairfax for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Upon consummation of the sale, we may retain a portion of these reserves through reinsurance arrangements. On January 20, 2017, we entered into an adverse development reinsurance agreement with NICO, a subsidiary of Berkshire, under which we transferred to NICO 80 percent of the reserve risk on substantially all of our U.S. Commercial long-tail exposures for accident years 2015 and prior. Under this agreement, we ceded to NICO 80 percent of the paid losses on subject business paid on or after January 1, 2016 in excess of $25 billion of net paid losses, up to an aggregate limit of $25 billion. At NICO’s 80 per cent share, NICO’s limit of liability under the contract is $20 billion. We account for this transaction as retroactive reinsurance. We paid total consideration, including interest, of $10.2 billion. The consideration was placed into a collateral trust ac count as security for NICO’s claim payment obligations, and Berkshire has provided a parental guarantee to secure the obligations of NICO under the agreement. Discounting of Loss Reserves At March 31, 2017 , the loss reserves reflect a net loss reserve discount of $ 1.9 billion, including tabular and non-tabular calculations based upon the following assumptions: Certain asbestos claims are discounted when allowed by the regulator and when payments are fixed and determinable, based on the investment yields of the companies and the payout pattern for the claims. At December 31, 2016, the discount for asbestos reserves was f ully amortized. The tabular workers’ compensation discount is calculated based on a 3.5 percent interest rate and the mortality rate used in the 2007 U.S. Life Table. The non-tabular workers’ compensation discount is calculated se parately for companies domiciled in New York and Pennsylvania, and follows the statutory regulations (prescribed or permitted) for each state. For New York companies, the discount is based on a 5 percent interest rate and the comp anies’ own payout patterns. In 2012, for Pennsylvania companies, the statute has specified discount factors for accident years 2001 and prior, which are based on a 6 percent interest rate and an industry payout pattern. For accide nt years 2002 and subsequent, the discount is based on the payout patterns and investment yields of the companies. In 2013, our Pennsylvania regulator approved use of a consistent discount rate (U.S. Treasury rate plus a liquidity premium) to all of our w orkers’ compensation reserves in our Pennsylvania-domiciled companies, as well as our use of updated payout patterns specific to our primary and excess workers compensation portfolios. In the fourth quarter of 2016, our Pennsylvania and Delaware regulato rs approved an updated discount rate that we applied to our workers’ compensation loss reserves for the legal entities domiciled in those states. The discount consists of $ 491 million of tabular discount and $ 1.5 billion of non-tabular discount for workers’ compensation. During the three -month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , the benefit /( charge) from changes in discount of $ 25 million and $ 10 million, respectively, were recorded as part of the policyholder benefits and losses incurred in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2017, the discount on workers’ compensati on reserves decreased by $ 1.7 billion due to the impact of the adverse development reinsurance agreement with NICO. During the first quarter of 2017, reserves were established for accident year 2017, which increased the discount by $32 millio n. In addition, the increase in the forward yield curve component of the discount rates resulted in a $57 million increase in t he loss reserve discount. This increase was partially offset by a $64 million reduction for accident years 2016 and prior, primar ily from accretion of discount on reserves for the first quarter of 2017. This resulted in an increase in the loss reserve discount of $25 million. During the first quarter of 2016, reserves were established for accident year 2016, which increased the disc ount by $48 million. This increase was partially offset by a $27 million reduction for accident years 2015 and prior, primarily from accretion of discount on reserves for the first quarter of 2016. In addition, decreases in the forward yield curve componen t of the discount rates resulted in an $11 million decrease in the loss reserve discount, as Treasury rates generally decreased in the first quarter of 2016 along the payout pattern horizon as compared to the prior periods, partially offset by an increase in the credit spread. This resulted in an increase in the loss reserve discount of $10 million. The following table presents the components of the loss reserve discount discussed above: March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Legacy Portfolio Legacy Portfolio U.S. Liability - Property and U.S. Liability - Property and and Casualty run-off and Casualty run-off (in millions) Financial Lines Insurance Lines Total Financial Lines Insurance Lines Total U.S. workers' compensation $ 2,606 $ 989 $ 3,595 $ 2,583 $ 987 $ 3,570 Retroactive reinsurance (1,655) - (1,655) - - - Total reserve discount $ 951 $ 989 $ 1,940 $ 2,583 $ 987 $ 3,570 The following table presents the net loss reserve discount benefit (charge) : Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 2016 Legacy Portfolio Legacy Portfolio U.S. Liability - Property and U.S. Liability - Property and and Casualty run-off and Casualty run-off (in millions) Financial Lines Insurance Lines Total Financial Lines Insurance Lines Total Current accident year $ 32 $ - $ 32 $ 48 $ - $ 48 Accretion and other adjustments to prior year discount (48) (16) (64) (14) (14) (28) Effect of interest rate changes 39 18 57 (8) (3) (11) Net reserve discount benefit (charge) 23 2 25 26 (17) 9 Change in discount on loss reserves ceded under retroactive reinsurance (1,655) - (1,655) - - - Net change in total reserve discount $ (1,632) $ 2 $ (1,630) $ 26 $ (17) $ 9 Comprised of: U.S. Workers' compensation $ (1,632) $ 2 $ (1,630) $ 26 $ (16) $ 10 Asbestos $ - $ - $ - $ - $ (1) $ (1)

CONTINGENCIES, COMMITMENTS AND GUARANTEES
CONTINGENCIES, COMMITMENTS AND GUARANTEES	11. Contingencies, Commitments and Guarantees In the normal course of business, various contingent liabilities and commitments are entered into by AIG and our subsidiaries. In addition, AIG Parent guarantees various obligations of certain subsidiaries. Although AIG cannot currently quantify its ultimate liability for unresolved litigation and investigation matters, including those referred to below, it is possible that such liability could have a material adverse effect on AIG’s consolidate d financial condition or its consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows for an individual reporting period. Legal Contingencies Overview. In the normal course of business, AIG and our subsidiaries are, like others in the insurance and f inancial services industries in general, subject to litigation, including claims for punitive damages. In our insurance operations, litigation arising from claims settlement activities is generally considered in the establishment of our loss reserves. Howe ver, the potential for increasing jury awards and settlements makes it difficult to assess the ultimate outcome of such litigation. AIG is also subject to derivative, class action and other claims asserted by its shareholders and others alleging, among oth er things, breach of fiduciary duties by its directors and officers and violations of insurance laws and regulations, as well as federal and state securities laws. In the case of any derivative action brought on behalf of AIG, any recovery would accrue to the benefit of AIG. Various regulatory and governmental agencies have been reviewing certain transactions and practices of AIG and our subsidiaries in connection with industry-wide and other inquiries into, among other matters, certain business practices o f current and former operating insurance subsidiaries. We have cooperated, and will continue to cooperate, in producing documents and other information in response to subpoenas and other requests. AIG’s Subprime Exposure, AIGFP Credit Default Swap Portfoli o and Related Matters AIG, AIG Financial Products Corp. and related subsidiaries (collectively AIGFP), and certain directors and officers of AIG, AIGFP and other AIG subsidiaries have been named in various actions relating to our exposure to the U.S. resid ential subprime mortgage market, unrealized market valuation losses on AIGFP’s super senior credit default swap portfolio, losses and liquidity constraints relating to our securities lending program and related disclosure and other matters (Subprime Exposu re Issues). Consolidated 2008 Securities Litigation. On May 19, 2009, a consolidated class action complaint, resulting from the consolidation of eight purported securities class actions filed between May 2008 and January 2009, was filed agains t AIG and certain directors and officers of AIG and AIGFP, AIG’s outside auditors, and the underwriters of various securities offerings in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) in In re American International Group, Inc. 2008 Securities Litigation (the Consolidated 2008 Securities Litigation), asserting claims under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), and claims under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), for alle gedly materially false and misleading statements in AIG’s public disclosures from March 16, 2006 to September 16, 2008 relating to, among other things, the Subprime Exposure Issues. In 2014, lead plaintiff, AIG and AIG’s outside auditor accepted mediators’ proposals to settle the Consolidated 2008 Securities Litigation against all defendants. On October 22, 2014, AIG paid the settlement amount of $ 960 million . On March 20, 2015, the Court issued an Order and Final Judgment approving the class settle ment and dismissing the action with prejudice, and the AIG settlement became final on June 29, 2015. Individual Securities Litigations. Between November 18, 2011 and February 9, 2015, eleven separate, though similar, securities actions (Individual Securiti es Litigations) were filed in or transferred to the SDNY, asserting claims substantially similar to those in the Consolidated 2008 Securities Litigation against AIG and certain directors and officers of AIG and AIGFP. Two of the actions were voluntarily di smissed. On September 10, 2015, the SDNY granted AIG’s motion to dismiss some of the claims in the Individual Securities Litigations in whole or in part. AIG has settled eight of the nine remaining actions. The remaining Individual Securities Litigation pe nding in the SDNY was brought by a series of institutional investor funds. After the court’s decision granting AIG’s motion to dismiss plaintiff’s claims in part, the claims in the remaining action are limited to a claim under Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act for allegedly materially false and misleading statements in AIG’s public disclosures from February 8, 2008 to September 16, 2008 relating to, among other things, the Subprime Exposure Issues. On January 17, 2017, AIG filed a motion for summary judgmen t to dismiss the vast majority of the institutional investor funds’ remaining claims and a motion to stay the action pending the resolution of this motion. AIG has appealed a March 9, 2017 decision by the magistrate judge, denying AIG’s motion to stay. O n March 27, 2015, an additional securities action was filed in state court in Orange County, California asserting a claim against AIG pursuant to Section 11 of the Securities Act (the California Action) that is substantially similar to those in the Consoli dated 2008 Securities Litigation and the Individual Securities Litigations. After denying AIG’s motion to remove the California Action to federal court and stay the action, the trial court overruled AIG’s demurrer to dismiss all of the claims asserted in t he California Action, which is currently on appeal to the California Court of Appeals for the Fourth Appellate District. We have accrued our current estimate of probable loss with respect to these litigations. Starr International Litigation On November 21 , 2011, Starr International Company, Inc. (SICO) filed a complaint against the United States in the United States Court of Federal Claims (the Court of Federal Claims), bringing claims, both individually and on behalf of the classes defined below and deriv atively on behalf of AIG (the SICO Treasury Action). The complaint challenges the government’s assistance of AIG, pursuant to which AIG entered into a credit facility with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the FRBNY, and such credit facility, the FRBNY Credit Facility) and the United States received an approximately 80 percent ownership in AIG. The complaint alleges that the interest rate imposed on AIG and the appropriation of approximately 80 percent of AIG’s equity was discr iminatory, unprecedented, and inconsistent with liquidity assistance offered by the government to other comparable firms at the time and violated the Equal Protection, Due Process, and Takings Clauses of the U.S. Constitution. In the SICO Treasury Action, the only claims naming AIG as a party (as a nominal defendant) are derivative claims on behalf of AIG. On September 21, 2012, SICO made a pre -litigation demand on our Board demanding that we pursue the derivative claims or allow SICO to pursue the claims o n our behalf. On January 9, 2013, our Board unanimously refused SICO’s demand in its entirety and on January 23, 2013, counsel for the Board sent a letter to counsel for SICO describing the process by which our Board considered and refused SICO’s demand an d stating the reasons for our Board’s determination. On March 11, 2013, SICO filed a second amended complaint in the SICO Treasury Action alleging that its demand was wrongfully refused. On June 26, 2013, the Court of Federal Claims granted AIG’s and the U nited States’ motions to dismiss SICO’s derivative claims in the SICO Treasury Action due to our Board’s refusal of SICO’s demand and denied the United States’ motion to dismiss SICO’s direct, non-derivative claims. On March 11, 2013, the Court of Federal Claims in the SICO Treasury Action granted SICO’s motion for class certification of two classes with respect to SICO’s non -derivative claims: (1) persons and entities who held shares of AIG Common Stock on or before September 16, 2008 and who owned those shares on September 22, 2008 (the Credit Agreement Shareholder Class); and (2) persons and entities who owned shares of AIG Common Stock on June 30, 2009 and were eligible to vote those shares at AIG’s June 30, 2009 annual meeting of shareh olders (the Reverse Stock Split Shareholder Class). SICO has provided notice of class certification to potential members of the classes, who, pursuant to a court order issued on April 25, 2013, had to return opt -in consent forms by September 16, 2013 to pa rticipate in either class. 286,908 holders of AIG Common Stock during the two class periods have opted into the classes. On June 15, 2015, the Court of Federal Claims issued its opinion and order in the SICO Treasury Action. The Court found that the United States exceeded its statutory authority by exacting approximately 80 percent of AIG’s equity in exchange for the FRBNY Credit Facility, but that AIG shareholders suffered no damages as a result. SICO argued during trial that the two classes are entitled to a total of approximately $ 40 billion in damages, plus interest. The Court also found that the United States was not liable to the Reverse Stock Split Class in connection with the reverse stock split vot e at the June 30, 2009 annual meeting of shareholders. On June 17, 2015, the Court of Federal Claims entered judgment stating that “the Credit Agreement Shareholder Class shall prevail on liability due to the Government's illegal exaction, but shall recove r zero damages, and that the Reverse Stock Split Shareholder Class shall not prevail on liability or damages.” SICO filed a notice of appeal of the July 2, 2012 dismissal of SICO’s unconstitutional conditions claim, the June 26, 2013 dismissal of SICO’s d erivative claims, the Court’s June 15, 2015 opinion and order, and the Court’s June 17, 2015 judgment to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The United States filed a notice of cross appeal of the Court’s July 2, 2012 opinion and or der denying in part its motion to dismiss, the Court’s June 26, 2013 opinion and order denying its motion to dismiss SICO’s direct claims, the Court’s June 15, 2015 opinion and order, and the Court’s June 17, 2015 judgment to the United States Court of App eals for the Federal Circuit. On August 25, 2015, SICO filed its appellate brief, in which it stated SICO does not appeal the dismissal of the derivative claims it asserted on behalf of AIG. In the Court of Federal Claims, the United States has alleged, a s an affirmative defense in its answer, that AIG is obligated to indemnify the FRBNY and its representatives, including the Federal Reserve Board of Governors and the United States (as the FRBNY’s principal), for any recovery in the SICO Treasury Action. A IG believes that any indemnification obligation would arise only if: (a) SICO prevails on its appeal and ultimately receives an award of damages; (b) the United States then commences an action against AIG seeking indemnification; and (c) the United States is successful in such an action through any appellate process. If SICO prevails on its claims and the United States seeks indemnification from AIG, AIG intends to assert defenses thereto. A reversal of the Court of Federal Claim’s June 17, 2015 decision an d judgment and a final determination that the United States is liable for damages, together with a final determination that AIG is obligated to indemnify the United States for any such damages, could have a material adverse effect on our business, consolid ated financial condition and results of operations. Regulatory and Related Matters In April 2007, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) formed a Settlement Review Working Group, directed by the State of Indiana, to review the Workers’ Compensation Residual Market Assessment portion of the settlement between AIG, the Office of the New York Attorney General, and the New York State Department of Insurance. In late 2007, the Settlement Review Working Group, under the direction of Indiana, Minnesota and Rhode Island, recommended that a multi-state targeted market conduct examination focusing on workers’ compensation insurance be commenced under the direction of the NAIC’s Market Analysis Working Group. AIG was informed of the multi-state ta rgeted market conduct examination in January 2008. The lead states in the multi-state examination were Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. All other states (and the District of Columbia) agreed t o participate in the multi-state examination. The examination focused on legacy issues related to certain AIG entities’ writing and reporting of workers compensation insurance between 1985 and 1996. On December 17, 2010, AIG and the lead states reached a n agreement to settle all regulatory liabilities arising out of the subjects of the multistate examination. This regulatory settlement agreement, which was agreed to by all 50 states and the District of Columbia, included, among other te rms, (i) AIG’s payment of $ 100 million in regulatory fines and penalties; (ii) AIG’s payment of $46.5 million in outstanding premium taxes and assessments; (iii) AIG’s agreement to enter into a compliance plan describing agreed-upon sp ecific steps and standards for evaluating AIG’s ongoing compliance with state regulations governing the setting of workers’ compensation insurance premium rates and the reporting of workers’ compensation premiums; and (iv) AIG’s agreement to pay up to $ 150 million in contingent fines in the event that AIG fails to comply substantially with the compliance plan requirements. In furtherance of the compliance plan, the agreement provided for a monitoring period from May 29, 2012 to May 29, 2014 l eading up to a compliance plan examination. After the close of the monitoring period, as part of preparation for the actual conduct of the compliance plan examination, on or about October 1, 2014, AIG and the lead states agreed upon corrective action plan s to address particular issues identified during the monitoring period. The compliance plan examination has concluded, and the compliance plan examination report did not impose any fines on AIG. In connection with a multi - state examination of certain accident and health products, including travel products, issued by National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, Pa. (National Union), AIG Property Casualty Inc. (formerly Chartis Inc.), on behalf of itself, National Uni on, and certain of AIG Property Casualty Inc.’s insurance and non -insurance companies (collectively, the AIG PC parties) entered into a Regulatory Settlement Agreement with regulators from 50 U.S. jurisdictions effective November 29, 2012. Unde r the agreement, and without admitting any liability for the issues raised in the examination, the AIG PC parties (i) paid a civil penalty of $ 50 million, (ii) entered into a corrective action plan describing agreed -upon specific steps and st andards for evaluating the AIG PC parties’ ongoing compliance with laws and regulations governing the issues identified in the examination, and (iii) agreed to pay a contingent fine in the event that the AIG PC parties fail to satisfy certain terms of the corrective action plan. On May 23, 2016, the managing lead state in the multi-state examination ordered that the companies subject to the Regulatory Settlement Agreement have “complied with the terms” of the Regulatory Settlement Agreement and that no cont ingent fine or civil penalty would be due. On April 27, 2017, a court granted final approval of the settlement of civil litigation relating to the conduct of National Union’s and other AIG companies’ accident and health business. An objector has thirty d ays to appeal the grant of final approval. The settlement funds, previously placed into escrow, will be disbursed once the deadline for appeal has expired. We had previously accrued our estimate of loss with respect to this settlement. Other Commitments In the normal course of business, we enter into commitments to invest in limited partnerships, private equity funds and hedge funds and to purchase and develop real estate in the U.S. and abroad. These commitments totaled $ 3.1 billion at March 31, 2017 . Guarantees Subsidiaries We have issued unconditional guarantees with respect to the prompt payment, when due, of all present and future payment obligations and liabilities of AIGFP and of AI G Markets arising from transactions entered into by AIG Markets. In connection with AIGFP’s business activities, AIGFP has issued, in a limited number of transactions, standby letters of credit or similar facilities to equity investors of structured leasi ng transactions in an amount equal to the termination value owing to the equity investor by the lessee in the event of a lessee default (the equity termination value). The total amount outstanding at March 31, 2017 was $ 139 million. In those transactions, AIGFP has agreed to pay such amount if the lessee fails to pay. The amount payable by AIGFP is, in certain cases, partially offset by amounts payable under other instruments typically equal to the present value of scheduled payments to be made by AIGFP. In the event that AIGFP is required to make a payment to the equity investor, the lessee is unconditionally obligated to reimburse AIGFP. To the extent that the equity investor is paid the equity termination value from the st andby letter of credit and/or other sources, including payments by the lessee, AIGFP takes an assignment of the equity investor’s rights under the lease of the underlying property. Because the obligations of the lessee under the lease transactions are gene rally economically defeased, lessee bankruptcy is the most likely circumstance in which AIGFP would be required to pay without reimbursement. Asset Dispositions We are subject to financial guarantees and indemnity arrangements in connection with the completed sales of businesses pursuant to our asset disposition plan. The various arrangements may be triggered by, among other things, declines in asset values, the occurrence of specified business contingencies, the realization of contingent lia bilities, developments in litigation or breaches of representations, warranties or covenants provided by us. These arrangements are typically subject to various time limitations, defined by the contract or by operation of law, such as statutes of limitatio n. In some cases, the maximum potential obligation is subject to contractual limitations, while in other cases such limitations are not specified or are not applicable. We are unable to develop a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential payout under ce rtain of these arrangements. Overall, we believe that it is unlikely we will have to make any material payments related to completed sales under these arrangements, and no material liabilities related to these arrangements have been recorded in the Condens ed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In addition, dividends are payable on AIG Common Stock only when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors in its discretion, from funds legally available for this purpose. In considering whether to pay a dividend or purchase shares of AIG Common Stock, our Board of Directors considers a number of factors, including, but not limited to: the capital resources available to support our insurance operations and business strategies, AIG’s funding capacity and capital resources in comparison to internal benchmarks, expectations for capital generation, rating agency expectations for capital, regulatory sta ndards for capital and capital distributions, and such other factors as our Board of Directors may deem relevant. On March 29, 2017, we paid a dividend of $ 0.32 per share on AIG Common Stock to shareholder s of record on March 15, 2017. O n March 28, 2016, we paid a dividend of $ 0.32 per share on AIG Common Stock to shareholder s of record on March 14, 2016.

INCOME TAXES

INCOME TAXES	3 Months Ended

INCOME TAXES
INCOME TAXES	15. Income Taxes Interim Tax Calculation Method We use the estimated annual effective tax rate method in computing our interim tax provision. Certain items, including those deemed to be unusual, infrequent or that cannot be reliably estimated, are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate. In these cases, the actual tax expense or benefit is reported in the same period as the related item. Certain tax effects are also not reflected in the estimated annual effective tax ra te, primarily certain changes in the realizability of deferred tax assets and uncertain tax positions. Interim Tax Expense (Benefit) For the three -month period ended March 31, 2017 , the effective tax rate on income from contin uing operations was 29.9 percent . The effective tax rate on income from continuing operations differs from the statutory tax rate of 35 percent primarily due to tax benef its associated with tax exempt inco me, recla ssifications from accumulated other comprehensive income to income from continuing operations related to the disposal of available for sale securities and excess tax deductions related to share based compensation payments recorded through the income statem ent in accordance with ASU 2016-09 , partially offset by tax charges related to the disposition of subsidiaries and non-deduc tible transfer pricing charges. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2016, the effective tax rate on loss from continuing oper ations was 27.1 percent. The effective tax rate on loss from continuing operations differs from the statutory tax rate of 35 percent primarily due to tax charges and related interest associated with increases in un certain tax positions related to cross border financing transactions, partially offset by tax benefits associated with the impact of an agreement reached with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) related to certain tax issues under audit, reclassifications f rom accumulated other comprehensive income to income from continuing operations related to the disposal of available for sale securities and a decrease in the deferred tax asset valuation allowances associated with certain foreign jurisdictions. Assessment of Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Allowance The evaluation of the recoverability of our deferred tax asset and the need for a valuation allowance requires us to weigh all positive and negative evidence to reach a conclusion that it is more likely than not t hat all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The weight given to the evidence is commensurate with the extent to which it can be objectively verified. The more negative evidence that exists , the more positive evidence is necessar y and the more difficult it is to support a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not needed. Our framework for assessing the recoverability of the deferred tax asset requires us to consider all available evidence, including: the nature, frequency, and amount of cumulative financial reporting income and losses in recent years; the sustainability of recent operating profitability of our subsidiaries; the predictability of future operating profitability of the character necessary to realize the net deferre d tax asset; the carryforward period for the net operating loss, capital loss and foreign tax credit carryforwards, including the effect of reversing taxable temporary differences; and prudent and feasible actions and tax planning strategies that would be implemented, if necessary, to protect against the loss of the deferred tax asset. In performing our assessment of the recoverability of the deferred tax asset under this framework, we consider tax laws governing the utilization of the net operating loss, c apital loss and foreign tax credit carryforwards in each applicable jurisdiction. Under U.S. tax law, a company generally must use its net operating loss carryforwards before it can use its foreign tax credit carryforwards, even though the carryforward pe riod for the foreign tax credit is shorter than for the net operating loss. Our U.S. federal consolidated income tax group includes both life companies and non-life companies. While the U.S. taxable income of our non-life companies can be offset by the n et operating loss carryforwards, only a portion (no more than 35 percent) of the U.S. taxable income of our life companies can be offset by those net operating loss carryforwards. The remaining tax liability of our life companies can be offset by the fore ign tax credit carryforwards. Accordingly, we utilize both the net operating loss and foreign tax credit carryforwards concurrently which enables us to realize our tax attributes prior to expiration. As of March 31, 2017 , based on all a vailable evidence, it is more likely than not that the U.S. net operating loss and foreign tax credit carryforwards will be utilized prior to expiration and, thus, no valuation allowance has been established. Estimates of future taxable income, including i ncome generated from prudent and feasible actions and tax planning strategies could change in the near term, perhaps materially, which may require us to consider any potential impact to our assessment of the recoverability of the deferred tax asset. Such p otential impact could be material to our consolidated financial condition or results of operations for an individual reporting period. For the three -month period ended March 31, 2017 , recent changes in market conditions, includ ing interest rate fluctuations, impacted the unrealized tax gains and losses in the U.S. Life Insurance Companies’ available for sale securities portfolio, resulting in a decrease to the net deferred tax asset related to net unrealized tax capital losses. As a result, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 , we released $ 254 m illion of valuation allowance associated with the unrealized tax losses in the U.S. Life Insurance Companies ’ available fo r sale securities portfolio , all of which was allocated to other comprehensive income. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 , recent changes in market conditions , including interest rate fluctuations , impacted the unrealized tax gains and losses in the non-life companies’ available for sale securities portfolio, resulting in a decrease to the net deferred tax asset related to net unrealized tax capital losses. As a result, we released $ 120 million of valuation allowance associated with the unrealized tax losses in the non-life companies’ available for sale securities portfolio, all of which was recognized in other comprehensive income. As of March 31, 2017 , based on all available evidence, we concluded that a valuation allowance of $ 354 million should remain on a portion of the deferred tax asset related to unrealized losses that are not more-likely-than-not to be realized. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 , we recognized a net de crease of $ 15 million in our deferred tax asset valuation allowance associated with certain f oreign jurisdictions, primarily attributable to current year activity. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 , our deferred tax asset valuation allowance associated wi th certain state jurisdictions remained unchanged. Tax Exa minations and Litigation On August 1, 2012, we filed a motion for partial summary judgment related to the disallowance of foreign tax credits associated with cross border financing transactions in the Southern District of New York. The Southern District of New York denied our summary judgment motion and upon AIG’s appeal, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (the Second Circuit) affirmed the denial. AIG’s petition for certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court from the decision of the Second Circuit w as denied on March 7, 2016. As a result, the case has been remanded back to the Southern District of New York for a jury trial. We will vigorously defend our position and continue to believe that we have adequate reserves for any liability that could resu lt from these government actions. We continue to monitor legal and other developments in this area, including recent decisions affecting other taxpayers, and evaluate their effect, if any, on our position. Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes At both March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , our unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties were $ 4.5 billion. At both March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , our unrecognized tax benefits related to tax positions that, if recognized, would not affect the effective tax rate because they relate to such factors as the timing, rather the permissibility, of the deduction were $ 0.1 billion. Accordingly, at both March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate were $ 4.4 billion. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized in income tax expense. At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , we had accrued liabilities of $ 1.3 billion and $ 1.2 billion , respectively, for the payment of interest (net of the federal benefit) and penalties. For the three -month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , we accrued expense (benefit) of $ 17 million and $ (51) million , respectively, for the payment of int erest and penalties . We regularly evaluate adjustments proposed by taxing authorities. At March 31, 2017 , such proposed adjustments would not have resulted in a material change to our consolidated financial condition, although it is possible that the effect could be material to our consolidated results of operations for an individual reporting period. Althou gh it is reasonably possible that a change in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits may occur within the next 12 months, based on the information currently available, we do not expect any change to be m aterial to our consolidated financial condition.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the application of accounting policies that often involve a significant degree of judgment. Accounting policies that we believe are most dependent on the application of estimates and assumptions are considered our critical accounting estimates and are related to the determination of: income tax assets and liabilities, including recoverability of our net deferred tax asset and the predictability of future tax operating pro fitability of the character necessary to realize the net deferred tax asset; liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses (loss reserves); reinsurance assets; valuation of future policy benefit liabilities and timing and extent of loss recognit ion; valuation of liabilities for guaranteed benefit features of variable annuity products; estimated gross profits to value deferred policy acquisition costs for investment-oriented products; impairment charges, including other-than-temporary impairments on available for sale securities, impairments on other invested assets, including investments in life settlements, and goodwill impairment; liability for legal contingencies; and fair value measurements of certain financial assets and liabilities. These ac counting estimates require the use of assumptions about matters, some of which are highly uncertain at the time of estimation. To the extent actual experience differs from the assumptions used, our consolidated financial condition, results of operations an d cash flows could be materially affected.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Held-for-Sale Classification	Held-For-Sale Classification We report a business as held-for-sale when management has approved the sale or received approval to sell the business and is committed to a formal plan, the business is available for immediate sale, the business is being actively marketed, the sale is anticipated to occur during the next 12 months and certain other specified criteria are met. A business classified as held-for-sale is recorded at the lower of its carrying amount or estimated fair value less cost to sell. If the carrying amount of the bus iness exceeds its estimated fair value, a loss is recognized. Assets and liabilities related to the businesses classified as held-for-sale are separately reported in our Consolidated Balance Sheets beginning in the period in which the business is classifi ed as held-for-sale.
Future Application of Accounting Standards	Future Application of Accounting Standards Revenue Recognition In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard that supersedes most existing revenue recognition guidance. The standard excludes from its scope the accounting for insurance contracts, leases, fi nancial instruments, and certain other agreements that are governed under other GAAP guidance, but could affect the revenue recognition for certain of our other activities. The standard is effective on January 1, 2018 and may be applied retrospectively or through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings at the date of adoption. Early adoption is permitted as of January 1, 2017, including interim periods. We are currently evaluating the impact to our revenue sources that are in scope of the standa rd. However, as the majority of our revenue sources are not in scope of the standard, we do not expect the adoption of the standard to have a material effect on our reported consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows . Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities In January 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard that will require equity investments that do not follow the equity method of accounting or are not subject to consolidation to be measure d at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings, while financial liabilities for which fair value option accounting has been elected, changes in fair value due to instrument-specific credit risk will be presented separately in other compr ehensive income. The standard allows the election to record equity investments without readily determinable fair values at cost, less impairment, adjusted for subsequent observable price changes with changes in the carrying value of the equity investments recorded in earnings. The standard also updates certain fair value disclosure requirements for financial instruments carried at amortized cost. The standard is effective on January 1, 2018, with early adoption of certain provisions permitted. We are asses sing the impact of the standard on our reported consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard that will require lessees with lease terms of more than 12 months to rec ognize a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability on their balance sheets. For income statement purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating leases or finance leases. The standard is effectiv e on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted using a modified retrospective approach. We are assessing the impact of the standard on our reported consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We are currently quantifying th e expected gross up of our balance sheet for a right to use asset and a lease liability as required by the standard. Financial Instruments - Credit Losses In June 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard that will change how entities account for credit losses for most financial assets, trade receivables and reinsurance receivables. The standard will replace the existing incurred loss impairment model wi th a new “current expected credit loss model” and will apply to financial assets subject to credit losses, those trade receivables measured at amortized cost, reinsurance receivables and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. The impairment for avail able-for-sale debt securities, including purchase credit deteriorated securities, will be measured in a similar manner, except that losses will be recognized as allowances rather than reductions in the amortized cost of the securities. The standard will a lso require additional information to be disclosed in the footnotes. The standard is effective on January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted on January 1, 2019. We are assessing the impact of the standard on our reported consolidated financial conditi on, results of operations and cash flows, but we expect an increase in our allowances for credit losses. The amount of the increase will be impacted by our portfolio composition and quality at the adoption date as well as economic conditions and forecasts at that time. Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments In August 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard that addresses diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash fl ows. The amendments provide clarity on the treatment of eight specifically defined types of cash inflows and outflows. The standard is effective on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted as long as all amendments are included in the same period. T he standard addresses presentation in the statement of cash flows only and will have no effect on our reported consolidated financial condition or results of operations. Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory In October 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard that will require an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs, rather than when the asset is sold to a third party. The standard is effect ive on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are assessing the impact of the standard on our reported consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Restricted Cash In November 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard that provides guidance on the presentation of restricted cash in the Statement of Cash Flows. Entities will be required to explain the changes during a reporting period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as re stricted cash or restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The standard is effective on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The standard addresses presentation of restricted cash in the Statement of Cash Flows only and will have no effect on our reported consolidated financial condition or results of operations. Clarifying the Definition of a Business In January 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standard that changes the definition of a business to assist entities with eval uating when a set of transferred assets and activities is a business. The new standard will require an entity to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar assets; if so, the set of transferred assets and activities is not a business. At a minimum, a set must include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output. The standard i s effective on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are assessing the impact of the standard on our reported consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Because the standard requires prospective adoption, the imp act is dependent on future acquisitions, dispositions and those entities that we consolidate due to obtaining a controlling financial interest. Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment In January 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standard that elimi nates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value not to exceed th e total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. An entity should also consider income tax effects from tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. The sta ndard is effective on January 1, 2020 with early adoption permitted on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We are currently reviewing the standard and assessing the impact of the standard on our reported consolidated financial condition, results of opera tions and cash flows. Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets In February 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standard that clarifies the scope and application of Other Income-Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial A ssets, to the sale or transfer of nonfinancial assets and in substance nonfinancial assets to noncustomers, including partial sales. The standard clarifies that a parent transferring its ownership interest in a consolidated subsidiary is within the scope o f the accounting standard if substantially all of the fair value of the assets within that subsidiary are nonfinancial assets. The standard also clarifies that the derecognition of all businesses and nonprofit activities should be accounted for in accordan ce with the derecognition and deconsolidation guidance. The standard also eliminates the exception in the financial asset guidance for transfers of investments (including equity method investments) in real estate entities. An entity is required to apply th e amendments in this update at the same time that it applies the amendments in revenues from contracts with customers. The standard is effective on January 1, 2018 and may be applied retrospectively to each period presented or through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings at the date of adoption (modified retrospective approach). Early adoption is permitted as of January 1, 2017, including interim periods. We are currently reviewing the standard and assessing the impact of the standard on o ur reported consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension and Postretirement Benefit Cost In March 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standard that requires entities to report the service cost component of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs in the same line item as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net periodic benefit costs are required to be separately presen ted in the income statement . The amendments also allow only the service cost component to be eligible for capitali zation when applicable. The standard is effective on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitt ed. The amendments should be applied retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost and othe r components, and prospectively for the capitalization of the service cost component. The standard addresses presentation of net periodic benefit costs i n the income statement and will have no effect on our reported consolidated financial condition, resu lts of operations or cash flows. Premium A mortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities In March 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standard that shor tens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. Specifically, the standard requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The standard does not require an accounting change for securities held at a di scount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. The standard is effective January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted as of January 1, 2017, including for interim periods. We are currently reviewing the standard and assessing the impact of the standard on our reported consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows .
New Accounting Pronouncements or Change in Accounting Principle [Line Items]
Accounting Standards Adopted	Accounting Standards Adopted During 2017 Derivative Contract Novations In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an accounting standard that clarifies that a change in the counterparty (novation) to a derivative instrument that has been designated as a hedging instrument does not, in and of itself, require de-designation of that hedging relationship provided that all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met. We adopted the standard on its required effective date of January 1, 2017. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of opera tions or cash flows. Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments In March 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard that clarifies the requirements for assessing whether contingent call (put) options that can accelerate the payment of principal on debt instruments are clearly and closely related to their debt hosts. The standard requires an evaluation of embedded call (put) options solely on a four-step decision sequence that requires an entity to consider whether (1) the amount paid upon settlem ent is adjusted based on changes in an index, (2) the amount paid upon settlement is indexed to an underlying other than interest rates or credit risk, (3) the debt involves a substantial premium or discount and (4) the put or call option is contingently e xercisable. We adopted the standard on its required effective date of January 1, 2017. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting In March 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard that eliminates the requirement that when an investment qualifies for use of the equity method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence, an investor must adjust the investment, results of operations, and retained earnings retroactively on a step-by-step basis as if the equity method had been in effect during all previous periods during which the investment had been held. We adopt ed the standard on its required effective date of January 1, 2017. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Interest Held through Related Parties that are und er Common Control In October 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard that amends the consolidation analysis for a reporting entity that is the single decision maker of a variable interest entity (VIE). The new guidance will require the decision maker ’s evaluation of its interests held through related parties that are under common control on a proportionate basis (rather than in their entirety) when determining whether it is the primary beneficiary of that VIE. The amendment does not change the charac teristics of a primary beneficiary. We adopted the standard on its required effective date of January 1, 2017. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
