FEDERAL INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. General
These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Indiana Insurance
Department. Such accounting practices vary in certain respects from
generally accepted accounting principles.
The amounts included in this report are unaudited but include
those adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, which management
considers necessary for a fair presentation. These financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the 1997 statutory basis financial
statements and related notes of the Federal Insurance Company (Company).
2. Invested assets and related income
Invested assets are carried at values prescribed by the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners. Short term investments, which
have an original maturity of one year or less, are carried at amortized
cost. Bonds are generally carried at amortized cost. Equity securities
are carried at market value. Investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries
and other invested assets are accounted for on the equity basis.
The cost of equity securities, investments in unconsolidated
subsidiaries and other invested assets was as follows (in thousands):
Sept. 30, Dec. 31,
1998 1997
_________ ________
Equity Securities $459,382 $410,001
Unconsolidated Subsidiaries 181,681 173,362
Other Invested Assets 215,824 191,791
The estimated market value of bonds was as follows (in
thousands):
Sept. 30, Dec. 31,
1998 1997
_________ ________
Tax Exempt Bonds $6,294,077 $5,547,386
Taxable Bonds 1,699,584 1,971,462
Investment income includes dividends from subsidiaries of
$107,000,000 and $470,295,000 for the nine months ended 1998 and 1997,
respectively.
3. Federal and foreign income tax
The provision for federal and foreign income tax gives effect to
differences between income for statutory reporting purposes and taxable
income. The principal differences are (i) interest income on tax exempt
bonds and (ii) the accelerated recognition of taxable income through the
discounting of outstanding losses and loss expenses and the reduction of
unearned premium reserves for tax purposes. No provision is made for
deferred federal income tax.

4. Outstanding losses and loss expenses
A discussion of the 1993 Fibreboard asbestos-related settlement
is presented in Note 8 of the notes to the 1997 statutory basis
financial statements of the Company. The following developments during
1998 relate to the settlement.
In January 1998, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth
Circuit again affirmed the approval by a lower court of the global
settlement agreement among Pacific Indemnity Company (a wholly-owned
property and casualty insurance subsidiary of the Company), Continental
Casualty Company (a subsidiary of CNA Financial Corporation), Fibreboard
Corporation and attorneys representing claimants against Fibreboard. The
settlement relates to an insurance policy issued to Fibreboard
Corporation by Pacific Indemnity. The Pacific Indemnity policy was 100%
reinsured by the Company. In April 1998, the objectors to the global
settlement agreement petitioned the United States Supreme Court to
review the decision. In June 1998, the Supreme Court announced it would
review the decision of the lower court. A decision by the Supreme Court
is not expected until 1999.
The trilateral agreement among Pacific Indemnity, Continental
Casualty and Fibreboard was never appealed to the United States Supreme
Court and is final. The trilateral agreement will be triggered if the
global settlement agreement is ultimately disapproved. As a result,
management continues to believe that the uncertainty of the Company's
exposure, as reinsurer of Pacific Indemnity, with respect to
asbestos-related bodily injury claims against Fibreboard has been
eliminated.
