Note a: 1,571.6 mn euros, including Sophia, which exited consolidation at 09-30-01

Notes: 1. Premium income from insurance at 09-30-00 (11,356.1 mn euros) differs from the amount published last year in BALO (11,282.9 mn euros) because of the consolidation of an amount representing insurance services (assistance services and services of AGF International), namely +73.2 mn euros at 09-30-00.

2. Premium income from life and health, excluding individual and group life insurance, included all health premium income, i.e., all individual and group bodily injury.

3. The decree of January 17, 2001 dealing with the application of new methodology to the consolidated financial statements of insurance companies changed the definition of premium income, which now includes:

-- Premiums written by insurance companies and services (formerly booked to underwriting income)

-- The premium income of companies included in other activities, i.e., mainly asset management, services provided by cash management companies, brokerage commissions and merchandise sales. Asset management amounted to the premium income before retrocessions of AGF Asset Management, which included OPCVM sales, gross commissions, and the premium income of companies outside France (Benelux, Chile).

4. Consolidated net banking income included interest and related income, income from floating rate securities, commissions (products), net gains on trading, gains on unconsolidated fixed assets, and other net banking income.

3rd quarter 2001 was influenced by the following trends:

-- The life insurance market in France and the rest of Europe was in recovery (-9%, vs. -14% at 1st half 2001 based on the FFSA). Although down from 3rd quarter 2000, which was buoyed by unit-linked product growth and bank PEP (personal savings plans) conversions into life policies, the sustained growth of traditional and group life policies put the market on a better track. However, the improvement did not offset lower payments in respect of unit-linked policies (-40%). Growth in South America, excluding foreign exchange, remained robust.

-- The growth of non-life in France and nearly all of Europe kept improving, owing to dramatic rate increases in all insurance classes; in South America, non-life also stayed on a positive track, absent foreign exchange.

LIFE AND HEALTH: Although soft financial markets continued to weigh on life receipts, and more specifically, on unit-linked products, they improved from 1st half 2001.

Consolidated premium income from savings, personal and family protection, retirement and health (assurance de personnes) stood at 5 223.8 mn euros, down 3.3% from 3rd quarter 2000 (-5.6% on a comparable basis), a striking improvement from the first two quarters (-8.9%). Life retreated 7.6%, whereas health advanced 3.7% (on a comparable basis). Changes by region were as follows (on a comparable basis):


 -- France: -6.5%, 
 -- Europe outside France: -5.8%, 
 -- Outside Europe: +3.9%. 

Life and health accounted for nearly 44% of premium income from the AGF Group's insurance activities, vs. 48% at 09-30-00.

FRANCE

Premium income from life and health totalled 3 796.4 mn euros (-6.5%), accounting for 54.4% of domestic insurance activity (excluding assistance and credit insurance). Life dropped 7%, while individual health remained nearly stable (-0.3%). Mathematical reserves rose 4.6% between 09-30-00 and 09-30-01 to 40.12 bn euros.

The distribution and change in domestic life and health was as follows:


                                 09-30-01     09-30-00     Change
 Individual life                 2,451.3      2,789.9      -12.1%
 Dedicated sales forces          1,506.1      1,664.2       -9.5%
 General agents                    512.9        629.8      -18.6%
 Brokerage and
  investment managers              129.3        142.6       -9.3%
 Partnerships                      204.4        265.7      -23.1%
 W Finance                          89.5         71.9       24.5%

 Total life                      3,474.4      3,737.7       -7.0%
 Individual health
 (bodily injury)                   322.0        323.1       -0.3%
 Total life and health           3,796.4      4,060.8       -6.5%

Individual life: receipts were down from last year, but much better than in the 1st half (-12.1%, vs. -18.6%).

Dedicated sales forces (-9.5% to 1 506.1 mn euros)

Third quarter activity was an improvement over the first half (-9.5, vs. -10.6%) and a slight improvement over the market (-10%), owing to strong performance by franc-denominated life policies and personal and family protection. Total receipts from savings (life insurance, financial products and loans) amounted to 1 912.7 mn euros (-7.2%).

General agents (-18.6% to 512.9 mn euros)

Premium income, which dropped less than in the first half (-27.8%), felt the combined impact of a difficult life market and an exceptional 3rd quarter 2000 (+38.7%) when Tellus, the new unit-linked convergence product, was launched and bank PEPs (personal savings plans) were converted into insurance products. It reflected the success of Triplus, the structured product sold in the summer (350 mn euros)

Brokerage and investment management (-9.3% to 129.3 mn euros)

The strong showing by traditional life products (Gaipare policies) and the recovery of Platinia Patrimoine, the unit-linked policy, restrained the 3rd quarter drop in premium income (-9.3%, vs. -18% in the 1st half).

Life partnerships (-23.1% to 204.4 mn euros)

Business recovered from the previous quarter (-47.6%), but still suffered from the drop in unit-linked policies, which account for most of the premium income of Arcalis, the subsidiary responsible for life partnerships.

W Finance

The premium income of W Finance, the specialised high-end management network, stood at 89.5 mn euros, a rise of 24.5%.

All networks combined, the premium income of the AGF Group's individual life business dropped 12.1% (vs. -18.6% in the 1st half) to 2 451.3 mn euros. Sales of franc-denominated life policies continued to recover (+4% to 1 772 mn euros) but failed to offset lower receipts from unit-linked policies (-37.5% to 673.5 mn euros), which followed the market trend (-40%). Total savings receipts amounted to 3 084.6 mn euros and improved from the 1st half (-12.8%, vs. -7.4%). The assets under management of Banque AGF stood at 780 mn euros (at the end of October 2001).

Group insurance: strong growth (+7.8% to 1 020.2 mn euros)

Group insurance reported premium income of 1 020.2 mn euros, a rise of 7.8%. With monetary losses and acceptances that are booked to non-life, premium income amounted to 1 153.8 mn euros (+10.2%). This favorable trend was due to new business, particularly in retirement (+16.2%) and corporate employee benefits (+13.4%).

Health insurance (bodily injury): business stable (-0.3% to 322 mn euros)

AGF Sante was down 1%, owing to the impact of aligning the protection plan of non-salaried workers with that of salaried employees. The health premium income of Assurances Federales rose 3.5% to 11.7 mn euros.

OUTSIDE FRANCE:

Outside France, premium income attributable to life and health business rose 6.3% to 1 427.4 mn euros (-3.1% on a comparable basis).

Europe outside France: +16.8% to 1 054.9 mn euros (-5.8% on a comparable basis)

In Belgium, health and life shaved 2.1% to 347.5 mn euros. This drop applied to both life (-1.6%) and health (-6.9%). The recovery of traditional life and capital accumulation products did not manage to contain the downturn in unit-linked products.

In the Netherlands, premium income amounted to 458.2 mn euros, a rise of 89.4% attributable to the consolidation of Zwolsche Algemeene, a subsidiairy that accounted for 252.7 mn euros of premium income. On a comparable basis, premiums written were steady (vs. +6.1% in the 1st half): health (+14% to 88.1 mn euros) rose sharply, although life receipts contracted 1% (360.3 mn euros). The rise in premium income from health, which was mainly contributed by Zwolsche, owed to rate hikes and new business. The drop in unit-linked products and changes in taxation explained the trend in life. Still, it was somewhat offset by group development.

Spain, where half of AGFs premium income is consolidated, continued to feel the affect of soft financial markets. Premium income dropped 19.1% to 192 mn euros. Strong performance in individual life (+12%) failed to offset the sharp drop in premium income on unit-linked products (-60%), most of which stemmed from Eurovida, owing to weaker financial markets.

Outside Europe: -15.2% to 372.5 mn euros (+3.9% on a comparable basis).

South America

Premium income from savings, retirement and personal and family products, which accounted for 35% of insurance business on the continent, dropped 17.6% to 302.1 mn euros; absent foreign exchange, however, it rose 5%. Life insurance rose 5.9% (at constant foreign exchange) to 185.4 mn euros, and health, 3.5% to 116.7 mn euros (at constant foreign exchange).

In Brazil, growth posted by group insurance and pension funds facilitated business growth of 7% (absent foreign exchange) to 112.7 mn euros. In Colombia, business surrendered 7.3% (on a comparable basis) to 123.4 mn euros with health dropping 1.9% and life, 11.4%, because of withdrawal from unprofitable business. In Chile, growth (+6.6% on a comparable basis) was buoyed by robust business in life annuities.

NON-LIFE INSURANCE: The rise in rates in all insurance classes continued to spur business growth.

Consolidated premium income from non-life (excluding individual health and group) amounted to 5,246.4 mn euros, a rise of 8.4% (+9.1% on a comparable basis, vs. +7.8% in the 1st half).

The share of non-life business in total premium income exceeded 45%.

FRANCE: Business growth picked up, owing to rate recovery and successful new distribution methods.

Non-life premium income totalled 3 181.8 mn euros, a rise of 9.3% (+9.5% on a comparable basis, vs. +7.3% in the 1st half) and now accounts for 45.6% of insurance activity in France (excluding assistance and credit insurance).

Non-life business in France was distributed as follows:

General agents: rate increases kept fuelling growth

Premium income rose 3.4% (vs. 2.6% at the end of the 1st half) to 1 531.8 mn euros.

In individual and professional non-life, excluding agricultural businesses, the rise amounted to 1.6% with premium income at 1,202 mn euros, in line with last quarter. Premium income from auto insurance rose 2.6% as it did in comprehensive household, buoyed by rate increases.

In corporate non-life, rate increases gave rise to an 8.6% increase in premium income, which stood at 340.2 mn euros.

Brokerage: growth buoyed by rate increases and new business.

Brokerage rose 14.3% to 1 466.3 mn euros.

Premium income from marine-aviation-transport was 29.9% higher at 436 mn euros. On a comparable basis, it rose 15%. AGF MATs higher share in aviation underwriting (AFA and WAIG), rate increases in hull and aviation, and higher business volume explained the favourable trend in business.

Corporate business reported premium income of about 397 mn euros (+23.8%), owing to the impact of business written on prior years and the growth of new business, both of which buoyed activity. Small and mid-sized organisations and professionals activity stood at 214 mn euros, in slight retreat from 30 September 2000, due to cancellations. Premium income from individual risk stood at 171 mn euros (+6.6%). The fleet and affinity group market saw its premium income rise 8.2% to 214 mn euros, as business continued to benefit from rate revisions and new business in affinity group insurance.

Bancassurance: still growing at a fast pace

Assurances Federales IARD reported a 23.7% rise in premium income from individual risk to 36 mn euros (+17.9% to 47.6 mn euros, including health that is booked with life and health). Sales of auto policies rose 38.4% to 13.7 mn euros and comprehensive household, 13.3% to 21.5 mn euros.

Alternative distribution: the number of policies underwritten continued to rise

New distribution methods contributed premium income of 6.1 mn euros, vs. 2.5 mn at 09-30-00. Most of it came from Calypso, the subsidiary that offers auto and comprehensive housing policies through a partnership with the mail order company 3 Suisses. The portfolio contains nearly 31 000 policies, 21,000 of which are in auto.

OUTSIDE FRANCE:

Outside France, premium income from non-life rose 7.1 % to 2 064.6 mn euros (+8.4% on a comparable basis)

Europe outside France: (1,352.4 mn euros, +21.5% and +9.2% on a comparable basis) Rate increases continued feeding growth

In Belgium, non-life business dropped 1.3% to 259.3 mn euros, compared with a 0.4% rise in the 1st half. Although auto business held steady, property and fire insurance shed 5.6% due to tighter underwriting policy.

In the Netherlands, premium income amounted to 589.9 mn euros, a rise of 37.5%. It included the consolidation of premium income attributable to Zwolsche Algeemene and the Royal Nederland purchase of AXAs portfolio, which amounted to 129.2 mn euros of business. On a comparable basis, growth gathered pace (+6.5%, vs. +4.4% at the end of the 1st half) owing to growth in auto (+6.1%), fire (+31%) and marine insurance (+11.5%).

In Spain, business (AGFs share) was on a positive track, rising 20.2% to 479.6 mn euros (+19.1% in the 1st half) because of growth posted by auto (+24.4%), comprehensive housing (+12.2%) and corporate risk (+14.2%).

Outside Europe: activity is well oriented

(-12.5% to 712.2 mn euros, +7.2% at constant foreign exchange).

In South America, non-life premium income amounted to 572.8 mn euros, a rise of +8.7% at constant foreign exchange, but a 15.1% drop given foreign currency conversions. In Brazil, business rose 11% at constant foreign exchange (-26.6% to 239.4 mn euros with currency conversions). In other countries in the region, growth continued to be dynamic: +18.5% in Chile, +11.3% in Argentina, +9.3% in Colombia (at constant foreign exchange). In all of these countries, growth was held in check by portfolio clean-ups in all insurance classes, but particularly in auto, with the objective of strengthening regional profitability.

ASSISTANCE

Mondial Assistance reported premium income of 717.8 mn euros, of which AGF only consolidates 50% (or 358.9 mn euros), a 17.7% rise on a comparable basis. Domestic activity amounted to about 25% of the total, and World Access, the US leader in assistance and travel insurance, about 7%.

CREDIT INSURANCE (EULER GROUP)

Premium income from the AGF Group's credit insurance and other activities attributable to the subsidiaries of Euler stood at 858.8 mn euros, up 6.7%; at constant foreign exchange, it rose 8.7%, from +12.5% in the 1st half. However, this amount excluded factoring, which is restated in net banking income (106.1 mn euros, +8.6%). The distribution of consolidated premium income by company was as follows:

The downturn from the 1st half owed to the economic slowdown, which in turn reduced policyholder revenues, particularly in France and the US. In response to rising claims experience, Euler elected to increase premium rates sharply in all covered markets.

OTHER ACTIVITIES

The AGF Group's other businesses rose 20.4% to 118.7 mn euros (+2.6% on a comparable basis). Most was in respect of asset management (102.7 mn euros) and an additional 16 mn euros in brokerage commissions.

Asset management

Asset management, which amounts to the sum of gross commissions received, posted revenue of 102.7 mn euros, a rise of 13.1%. It included 10.8 mn euros from companies outside France. AGF Finance Gestion posted 59 mn euros of premium income.

BANKING

Net banking income, in and outside France, contributed premium income of 1 224.5 mn euros. Absent the effect of accounting for Sophia under the equity method and on a comparable basis, the rise stood at 11.1%. The net banking income of Entenial amounted to 823.1 mn euros (+12.6%), that of Banque AGF, to 179.6 mn euros (+19.6%), that of Eurofactor (factoring), to 106.1 mn euros (+8.6%), while subsidiaries outside France posted 115.1 mn euros.

At the end of October 2001, Banque AGF had 215 000 customers for assets under management of 780 mn euros (vs. 110 000 and 600 mn euros at 06-30-01), excluding outstanding loans and OPCVMs.
