CINCINNATI FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE I - ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
all of its subsidiaries, each of which is wholly owned, and are presented in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. All significant
inter-company investments and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. The December 31, 1993 consolidated balance sheet amounts are
derived from the audited financial statements but do not include all
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.
INVESTMENTS--The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities"
effective January 1, 1994. With the adoption of SFAS 115, fixed maturities
have been classified as available for sale and are stated at fair values at
March 31, 1994, while fixed maturities were primarily carried at amortized
costs at December 31, 1993. Equity securities have been classified as
available for sale and are carried at fair values for March 31, 1994 and
December 31, 1993.
UNREALIZED GAINS AND LOSSES--As indicated in the accompanying consolidated
statement of shareholders' equity for the three-month period ended March 31,
1994, the Company had an unrealized loss of $149,967,530. For the quarter,
fixed maturity and equity securities investments reflected decreases in
unrealized gains (net of income tax effects) of $28,436,090 and $121,531,440,
respectively. For the three-month period ended March 31, 1993, the Company had
an unrealized gain on equity securities investments of $50,668,681 (net of
income tax effects). Such amounts are included as additions to and deductions
from shareholders' equity. In the three-month period ended March 31, 1993, the
Company had unrealized gains on fixed maturity investments of $8,335,809 (net
of income tax effects). During this quarter, the unrealized gains on fixed
maturity investments were neither recognized in income for the period nor as a
change in shareholders' equity.
REINSURANCE--Premiums earned are net of $24,585,613 and $19,795,538 of premium
on ceded business for March 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Insurance losses
and policyholder benefits in the accompanying statements of income are net of
$3,429,385 and $7,356,903 of reinsurance recoveries for March 31, 1994 and
1993, respectively.
NOTE II - STOCK OPTIONS
The Company has primarily qualified stock option plans under which options are
granted to employees of the Company at prices which are not less than market
price at the date of grant and which are exercisable over a five-year period,
or over a ten-year period if granted on or after
7
July 25, 1990. On March 31, 1994, outstanding options for Stock Option Plan
No. III totalled 107,352 shares with purchase prices ranging from a low of
$13.08 to a high of $26.17 and outstanding options for Stock Option Plan No. IV
totalled 733,978 shares with purchase prices ranging from a low of $24.67 to a
high of $62.25.
NOTE III INTERIM ADJUSTMENTS
The preceding summary of financial information for Cincinnati Financial
Corporation and consolidated subsidiaries is unaudited, but the Company
believes that all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals)
necessary for fair presentation have been made. The results of operations for
interim periods are not necessarily indications of results to be expected for
this year.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Net Premiums earned for the three months ended March 31, 1994 have increased
$21,345,068 (8%) over the three months ended March 31, 1993. The growth rate
of our property and casualty subsidiaries on a gross written basis is less than
last year; but with lower increases in the cost of reinsurance, our premiums
earned increased 8% in the three-month periods ended March 31, 1994 and March
31, 1993. The premium growth is attributable to new business and rate
increases. The premium volume of our life and health company has increased
approximately 7% as increases in life insurance production more than offset
decreased annuity and accident and health insurance sales. For the three-month
period ended March 31, 1994, Investment Income, net of expenses, has increased
$5,017,934 (9%) when compared with the first three months of 1993. This
increase is the result of the growth of the investment portfolio because of
investing cash flows from increased premiums written. The growth is less than
last year because of lower yields on new investments and less cash flow because
of increased catastrophe claim payments.
Realized gains on investments for the three months ended March 31, 1994
amounted to $18,924,075 compared to $19,436,818 for comparable three-month
period ended March 31, 1993. The realized gains are predominantly the result
of the sale of equity securities and management's decision to realize the gains
and reinvest the proceeds at higher yields.
Insurance losses and policyholder benefits (net of reinsurance recoveries)
increased $36,985,694 (19%) for the first three months of 1994 over the same
period in 1993. The losses and benefits of the property and casualty companies
have increased $39,202,172 because of the growth of new business and a higher
incidence and severity of claims. The catastrophe losses for the first quarter
of 1994 were $18.8 million compared to $11.2 million in 1993 and were higher
than last year because of increased severity of these weather related claims.
Policyholder benefits decreased $2,216,478 over the first quarter of 1993 in
the life insurance subsidiary. The majority of the decrease is the result of a
lower incidence of death claims and related costs.
Provision for income taxes, current and deferred, have decreased by $5,044,444
for the first three months of 1994 compared to the first three months of 1993.
The decrease in federal taxes is attributable to lower taxable income in our
property and casualty companies because of a higher incidence and severity of
losses and lower capital gains for the corporation. These decreases more than
offset increases in taxable income in the life insurance company, the
noninsurance companies, and taxable investment income.
Unrealized appreciation will fluctuate with changes in the overall fixed
maturities and equity securities markets. Unrealized appreciation related to
the Company's equity investment portfolio decreased in the first quarter of
1994 by $186,971,418 ($121,531,440 decrease in shareholders' equity, net of
deferred income taxes) while, for the first quarter of 1993, it increased by
$76,770,729 ($50,668,681 increase in shareholders' equity, net of deferred
income taxes). The Company's equity investment portfolio continues to be
primarily investments in common stocks of public utility companies and
financial institutions.
