[1] Amounts in years prior to 2012 have been adjusted to reflect the adoption of new guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board related to the accounting for costs associated with acquiring or renewing insurance contracts. The adoption of this guidance decreased deferred policy acquisition costs by $420 million as of January 1, 2010. The effect of the adoption of the new guidance on net income was not material. Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and other insurance operating costs and expenses for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 were retrospectively adjusted to conform to the change in accounting guidance. The amounts of the retrospective reductions to previously reported deferred policy acquisition costs as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 were the same as the amounts of the reductions as of January 1, 2010.
[2] Property and casualty assets are available for payment of losses and expenses for all classes of business; therefore, such assets and the related investment income have not been allocated to the underwriting segments.
[3] Other insurance operating costs and expenses does not include other income and charges.
