These excerpts taken from the SAFT 10-K filed Mar 13, 2009. Our Insurance Subsidiaries are parties to a number of lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of their insurance business. We believe that the ultimate resolution of these lawsuits will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. In addition, on November 21, 2008, the Massachusetts Office of the Attorney General (the "AG") delivered a civil investigative demand to Safety Insurance Company, one of our operating subsidiaries (the "CID"). The CID directed us to produce certain information related to the Company's policies and practices in connection with underwriting insurance policies on motorcycles and adjusting total loss claims under such policies. We understand that certain other insurance companies are also being investigated by the AG related to their policies and practices related to motorcycle insurance. The focus of the AG's attention appears to be on the insured values determined by us for purposes of charging premiums for physical damage insurance coverage. In 2008, coverage for motorcycles represented 1.9% of our total private passenger automobile insurance. We have been cooperating with the AG and responding to the CID and various related additional requests for information by the AG since that time. In connection with the matters addressed by the CID, the AG delivered a letter to Safety Insurance Company dated February 2, 2009, in which the AG stated that it "has reason to believe that Safety Insurance Company has violated the Massachusetts Consumer Protection Act , G.L. c. 93A, § 2, by engaging in unfair and deceptive acts and practices regarding motorcycle insurance. Specifically, the Attorney General has reason to believe that the Company overcharged its customers for motorcycle insurance and engaged in related unfair claims settlement practices." By issuing this letter the AG has met a statutory prerequisite to filing a civil complaint under the Massachusetts Consumer Protection Act against the Company. We are engaged in ongoing discussions with the AG with respect to the matters raised in the February 2, 2009 letter. In view of the uncertainties involved in this matter and its early stage, we are unable to predict the outcome of this matter and have not established any reserve in connection with it.
