PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
--------
Cincinnati Financial Corporation ("CFC") was incorporated on
September 20, 1968 under the laws of the State of Delaware. On April 4, 1992,
the shareholders voted to adopt an Agreement of Merger by means of which the
reincorporation of the Corporation from the State of Delaware to the State of
Ohio was accomplished. CFC owns 100% of The Cincinnati Insurance Company
("CIC"), 100% of CFC Investment Company ("CFC-I") and 100% of CinFin Capital
Management Company ("CinFin"). The principal purpose of CFC is to be a holding
company for CIC, CFC-I and CinFin in addition for the purpose of acquiring other
companies.
CIC, incorporated in August, 1950, is an insurance carrier presently
licensed to conduct multiple line underwriting in accordance with Section
3941.02 of the Revised Code of Ohio. This includes the sale of fire, automobile,
casualty, bonds, and all related forms of property and casualty insurance in 50
states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. CIC is not authorized to
write any other forms of insurance. CIC is in a highly competitive industry and
competes in varying degrees with a large number of stock and mutual companies.
CIC also owns 100% of the stock of the following insurance companies.
1. The Cincinnati Life Insurance Company ("CLIC") incorporated in 1987 under
the laws of Ohio for the purpose of acquiring the business of Inter-Ocean
and The Life Insurance Company of Cincinnati. CLIC acquired The Life
Insurance Company of Cincinnati and Inter-Ocean Insurance Company on
February 1, 1988. CLIC is licensed for the sale of life insurance and
accident and health insurance in 46 states and the District of Columbia.
2. The Cincinnati Casualty Company ("CCC") (formerly the Queen City Indemnity
Company), incorporated in 1972 under the laws of Ohio, is licensed in the
fire and casualty insurance business on a direct billing basis in 40
states. The business of CIC and CCC is conducted separately, and there are
no plans for combining the business of said companies.
3. The Cincinnati Indemnity Company ("CID"), incorporated in 1988 under the
laws of Ohio, is engaged in the writing of nonstandard personal and
casualty lines of insurance in 31 states. The business of CIC and CID is
conducted separately, and there are no plans for combining the business of
said companies.
CFC-I, incorporated in 1970, owns certain real estate in the Greater
Cincinnati area and is in the business of leasing or financing various items,
principally automobiles, trucks, computer equipment, machine tools, construction
equipment, and office equipment.
CinFin, incorporated, yet inactive, in 1998, will offer investment
management services to corporations, institutions, and high net worth
individuals.
Industry segment information for revenues, income before income
taxes, and identifiable assets is included on page 35 of the Company's Annual
Report to Shareholders and is incorporated herein by reference (see Exhibit 13
to this filing).
As more fully discussed in pages 7 through 13 in the Company's Annual
Report to Shareholders, incorporated herein by reference (see Exhibit 13 to this
filing), the Company sells insurance primarily in the Midwest and Southeast
through a network of a limited number (978 in 29 states at December 31, 1998) of
selectively appointed independent agents, most of whom own stock in the Company.
Gross written premiums by property/casualty lines increased 6% to $1.656 billion
in 1998. The Company's mix of property/casualty business did not change
significantly in 1998. Life and accident and health insurance (which constituted
only 4% of the Company's premium income for 1998) is also sold primarily through
property/casualty agencies and the growth rate of 11.4% was the result of
increased sales of both traditional and interest-sensitive products.

The consolidated financial statements include the estimated liability
for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses ("LAE") of the Company's
property/casualty ("P/C") insurance subsidiaries. Property and casualty
insurance is written in 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.
The liabilities for losses and LAE are determined using case-basis evaluations
and statistical projections and represent estimates of the ultimate net cost of
all unpaid losses and LAE incurred through December 31 of each year. These
estimates are subject to the effect of trends in future claim severity and
frequency. These estimates are continually reviewed; and as experience develops
and new information becomes known, the liability is adjusted as necessary. Such
adjustments, if any, are reflected in current operations.
The Company does not discount any of its property/casualty
liabilities for unpaid losses and unpaid loss adjustment expenses.
There are two tables used to present an analysis of losses and LAE.
The first table, providing a reconciliation of beginning and ending liability
balances for 1998, 1997, and 1996, is on page 31 in the Company's Annual Report
to Shareholders, incorporated herein by reference (see Exhibit 13 to this
filing). The second table, showing the development of the estimated liability
for the ten years prior to 1998 is presented on the next page.
The reconciliation referred to in the preceding paragraph shows a
1998 recognition of $153,311,000 redundancy in the December 31, 1997 liability.
This redundancy is due in part to the effects of settling case reserves
established in prior years for less than expected and also in part to the over
estimation of the severity of IBNR losses. Average severity continues to
increase primarily because of increases in medical costs related to workers'
compensation and auto liability insurance. Litigation expenses for recent court
cases on pending liability claims continue to be very costly; and judgments
continue to be high and difficult to estimate. Reserves for environmental claims
have been reviewed, and the Company believes that the reserves are adequate.
Environmental exposures are minimal as a result of the types of risks we have
insured in the past. Historically, most commercial accounts written post-date
the coverages which afford clean-up costs and Superfund responses.
The anticipated effect of inflation is implicitly considered when
estimating liabilities for losses and LAE. While anticipated price increases due
to inflation are considered in estimating the ultimate claim costs, the increase
in average severities of claims is caused by a number of factors that vary with
the individual type of policy written. Future average severities are projected
based on historical trends adjusted for anticipated changes in underwriting
standards, policy provisions, and general economic trends. These trends are
monitored based on actual development and are modified if necessary.
The limits on risks retained by the Company vary by type of policy,
and risks in excess of the retention limits are reinsured. Because of the growth
in the Company's capacity to underwrite risks and reinsurance market conditions,
in 1989 and 1995, the Company raised its retention limits from $750,000 to
$1,000,000 to $2,000,000, respectively, for casualty and property lines of
insurance.
There are no differences between the property/casualty liabilities
reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and that reported in the
annual statements filed with state insurance departments in accordance with
statutory accounting practices ("SAP").

The table above presents the development of balance sheet
liabilities for 1988 through 1998. The top line of the table shows the
estimated liability for unpaid losses and LAE recorded at the balance
sheet date for each of the indicated years. This liability represents
the estimated amount of losses and LAE for claims arising in all prior
years that are unpaid at the balance sheet date, including losses that
had been incurred but not yet reported to the Company. The upper
portion of the table shows the reestimated amount of the previously
recorded liability based on experience as of the end of each succeeding
year. The estimate is increased or decreased as more information
becomes known about the frequency and severity of claims for individual
years.

5
The "net cumulative redundancy" represents the aggregate change in
the estimates over all prior years. For example, the 1988 liability has
developed a $57,000,000 redundancy over ten years and has been reflected in
income over the ten years. The effects on income of the past three years of
changes in estimates of the liabilities for losses and LAE for all accident
years is shown in the reconciliation table, referred to above.
The lower section of the table shows the cumulative amount paid with
respect to the previously recorded liability as of the end of each succeeding
year. For example, as of December 31, 1998, the Company had paid $512,000,000 of
the currently estimated $574,000,000 of losses and LAE that have been incurred
as of the end of 1988; thus an estimated $62,000,000 of losses incurred as of
the end of 1988 remain unpaid as of the current financial statement date.
In evaluating this information, it should be noted that each amount
includes the effects of all changes in amounts for prior periods. For example,
the amount of deficiency or redundancy related to losses settled in 1993, but
incurred in 1988, will be included in the cumulative deficiency or redundancy
amount for 1988 and each subsequent year. This table does not present accident
or policy year development data which readers may be more accustomed to
analyzing. Conditions and trends that have affected development of the liability
in the past may not necessarily occur in the future. Accordingly, it may not be
appropriate to extrapolate future redundancies or deficiencies based on this
table.
The Company limits the maximum net loss that can arise by large risks
or risks concentrated in areas of exposure by reinsuring (ceding) with other
insurers or reinsurers. Related thereto, the Company's retention levels were
last increased from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 in 1995. The Company reinsures with
only financially sound companies. The composition of its reinsurers has not
changed, and the Company has not experienced any uncollectible reinsurance
amounts or coverage disputes with its reinsurers in more than ten years.
Information concerning the Company's investment strategy and
philosophy is contained on pages 18 through 22 of the Annual Report to
Shareholders, incorporated herein by reference (see Exhibit 13 to this filing).
The Company's primary strategy is to maintain liquidity to meet both its
immediate and long-range insurance obligations through the purchase and
maintenance of medium-risk fixed maturity and equity securities, while earning
optimal returns on medium-risk equity securities which offer growing dividends
and capital appreciation. The Company usually holds these securities to maturity
unless there is a change in credit risk or the securities are called by the
issuer. Historically, municipal bonds (with concentrations in the essential
services, i.e. schools, sewer, water, etc.) have been attractive to the Company
due to their tax exempt features. Because of Alternative Minimum Tax matters,
the Company uses a blend of tax-exempt and taxable fixed maturity securities.
Investments in common stocks have been made with an emphasis on securities with
an annual dividend yield of at least 2 to 3 percent and annual dividend
increases. The Company's strategy in equity investments is to identify
approximately 10 to 12 companies in which it can accumulate 10 to 20 percent of
their common stock. As a long-term investor, a buy and hold strategy has been
followed for many years, resulting in an accumulation of a significant amount of
unrealized appreciation on equity securities.
As of December 31, 1998, CFC employed 2,770 associates.
