[1] (a)The 2013 and 2012 dismissals reported in the table above include the dismissal of approximately 12 thousand claims and 10 thousand claims, respectively, that were considered pending inactive claims. Inactive claims represent pending claims in Mississippi filed prior to 2004, which have been excluded from our asbestos measurement because the plaintiffs cannot demonstrate a significant compensable loss. As such, management believes these claims have little to no value.
