COP-XL NOW AVAILABLE IN MOST STATES
AAIS's Commercial Output XL Program, an expanded version of the Commercial Output Program (COP), is now available for use in most jurisdictions. Designed to meet the property insurance needs of very large accounts, the COP-XL incorporates equipment breakdown coverage into the base property form, and provides an even broader range of built-in coverages. For more information go to

SETTING REALISTIC RESERVES -- PROJECTING THE COMPANY'S FUTURE OBLIGATIONS
According to a recent National Underwriter article, property-casualty insurers made reserve adjustments totaling approximately $20 billion in 2002 to account for previously unrecognized exposures. What is the purpose of claim reserves and why can they have such a dramatic effect on the underlying financial strength of property-casualty insurers and the industry? For a comprehensive article on the reserving process, written by AAIS Education Director Robert Prahl, go to www.AAISonline.com and click on the above title.
