(a) The number of claims filed in 2010 includes approximately 1,541 non-malignant claims (with an accrued liability of approximately $575 thousand in the aggregate), a majority of which had previously been dismissed in Mississippi and re-filed in Arkansas.
(b) The number of claims resolved in 2010 includes approximately 1,300 claims previously classified as inactive (95% non-malignant and accrued liability of approximately $2.0 million) which were activated during 2010. The claims portfolio was reduced in 2009 due to settlements, dismissals and the elimination of significantly aged (i.e., pending for more than six years), inactive (including claims for which the required medical and exposure showings have not been made) and duplicate claims.
