Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Plan Administrative Committee and Plan Participants

The Travelers 401(k) Savings Plan: (formerly The St. Paul Travelers 401(k) Savings Plan)

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of The Travelers 401(k) Savings Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s administrator.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of The Travelers 401(k) Savings Plan as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental Schedule H, Line 4i – Schedule of Assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2006 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s administrator.  The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

THE TRAVELERS 401(k) SAVINGS PLAN

(Formerly St. Paul Travelers 401(k) Savings Plan)

Notes to Financial Statements

Note 1Description of the Plan

The following brief description of The Travelers 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Plan”) is provided for general information purposes.  Participants should refer to the Plan document and the summary plan description for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

Effective February 27, 2007, The St. Paul Travelers Companies, Inc. announced that it had changed its name to The Travelers Companies, Inc.  Also effective February 27, 2007, the name of The St. Paul Travelers 401(k) Savings Plan was changed to The Travelers 401(k) Savings Plan.

General and Merger

The Plan is a defined contribution 401(k) plan, which provides retirement and other benefits to eligible employees of participating companies.  The Travelers Companies, Inc. and participating affiliated employers (collectively, the “Company”) currently participate in the Plan.  The Company has appointed the Administrative Committee as the delegated authority for administrative matters involving the Plan and the Benefits Investment Committee as the delegated authority for management and control of the assets of the Plan (including the designation of investment funds).  Fidelity Management Trust Company (“FMTC”) is the trustee for the trust maintained in connection with the Plan.  The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”).

Effective January 1, 2006, Discover Re, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, joined the Plan.  Discover Re participants’ investment account balances from the Discover Re Managers Inc. 401(K) Savings Plan were liquidated and $14,544,254 in cash and $390,353 in participant loans were transferred into the Plan on February 1, 2006. 

Effective at the close of August 31, 2005, the legacy Travelers 401(k) Savings Plan and The St. Paul Companies, Inc. Stock Ownership Plan merged into the St. Paul Companies, Inc. Savings Plus Plan, which was then renamed the St. Paul Travelers 401(k) Savings Plan.  All assets of the Plan were consolidated under one trust with FMTC by September 6, 2005.

Participation

All employees of participating companies, as defined by the Plan, are eligible to participate immediately upon employment.

Employee Contributions

Eligible employees who elect to participate in the Plan may contribute up to 50% of their eligible compensation as pre-tax contributions into the Plan (subject to statutory limitations of $15,000 and $14,000 for 2006 and 2005, respectively) as defined by the Plan.  A participant who is, or will be, age 50 or older by the end of the year, can make additional catch-up contributions to a limit of $5,000 and $4,000 for 2006 and 2005, respectively.  Effective October 24, 2005, newly hired eligible employees are automatically enrolled at 3% contribution rate, if they do not affirmatively make an election not to participate or to participate at a different rate.  The Plan’s participants are not required or permitted to make after-tax contributions; however, after-tax rollover contributions are permitted.

4

Employer Contributions

The Company matches 100% of a Plan participant’s pre-tax contributions, up to the first 5% of annual eligible pay, subject to a maximum annual match amount of $5,000.  The Company-matching contribution is made once a year.  The 2006 Company-matching contribution (paid in January 2007) was invested according to the participant’s current investment election for new contributions going into the Plan.  The 2005 matching contribution (paid in January 2006) was initially invested in the St. Paul Travelers Common Stock Fund.  Once deposited, Plan participants were able to immediately transfer those funds into other investment options.  Employer contributions totaling $71,990,747 for plan year 2006 and $61,836,997 for plan year 2005 were made into the Plan on January 25, 2007 and January 25, 2006, respectively.  Except for cases of retirement or termination due to disability or death, this matching contribution was made only to participants employed on the last working day of December.

The Aetna Supplemental Company Contribution was established under the Travelers 401(k) Plan in conjunction with the April 2, 1996 acquisition by Travelers Insurance Group Holdings Inc. of the outstanding capital stock of Travelers Casualty and Surety Company (formerly Aetna Casualty and Surety Company) and The Standard Fire Insurance Company.  It provides a fixed annual contribution into the Plan for eligible employees (“Aetna Participants”). The contribution amount for each Aetna Participant is fixed for each year the employee remains actively employed with the Company.  In the year an employee terminates employment, retires, becomes disabled or dies, the contribution will be prorated to reflect the number of full months worked.  The Aetna Participants are fully vested in this supplemental account. The Aetna Supplemental Company Contribution was added to the Plan at the time of the plan merger.  The 2006 Aetna Supplemental Company Contribution is the amount of $1,165,857, was a receivable to the Plan as of December 31, 2006, and was made on February 8, 2007.  The 2005 Aetna Supplemental Company Contribution in the amount of $1,250,506, was a receivable to the Plan as of December 31, 2005, and was made on February 3, 2006.

Participant Accounts

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions, employer contributions and allocations of Plan earnings as defined by the Plan.  The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.

Participants may elect to have their contributions invested in the funds listed in the Plan’s provisions as they choose and may also transfer their balances daily within these funds.

Rollover Contributions

The Plan allows for rollover contributions to be made to the Plan by eligible employees.  These rollover contributions are eligible distributions from other tax-qualified plans of previous employers or individual retirement accounts or annuities that participants elect to have invested in the Plan either by a direct rollover to the Plan or by a distribution followed by a contribution within sixty days of receipt.

5

Vesting

Participants are 100% vested in their contributions and related earnings.  In general Company contributions allocated to participants vest after three years of service.  Participants also become vested in full if they reach 62 while employed, terminate employment due to a disability, die prior to termination of employment, or upon termination of the Plan.

Forfeitures

Forfeitures are transferred to a forfeiture account, which is maintained for the Plan as a whole and is not attributable to any given participant.  The balance of the forfeiture account may be used to correct errors in the accounts of other participants, restore prior forfeitures, pay Plan administrative expenses or reduce contributions to the Plan, as directed by the Company.  At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the forfeiture account totaled $1,934,047 and $2,240,629, respectively.  Forfeitures used totaled $2,030,232 and $102,538 for 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Voting Rights

Each participant is entitled to exercise voting rights attributable to the shares of Company common and preferred stock allocated to his or her account and will be notified prior to the time that such rights are to be exercised.  FMTC will vote shares for which no directions have been timely received, and shares not credited to any participant’s account, in proportion to the vote cast by participants who have timely responded.   The Plan holds shares of Citigroup, Inc. common stock as a result of a prior spin-off of the Travelers 401(k) Plan from a plan maintained by Citigroup, Inc., and such shares are voted in the same manner as described above for Company shares.

Participant Loans

Participants may request to receive a loan from the Plan subject to a minimum of $1,000 and a maximum of 50% of their vested account balance or $50,000 minus the highest outstanding loan balance during the past 12 months.  Participants can only have two loans outstanding at a time.  Loans are made at the prime interest rate (in effect at the beginning of the month in which the loan is initiated) plus 1% and must generally be repaid by payroll deduction over a maximum period of five years (twenty years if the loan is designated as a primary residence loan).  Beginning September 1, 2005, a one-time set-up fee of $35 per loan will be charged against the participant’s account.  In addition, ongoing quarterly loan maintenance fees of $3.75 per loan will be charged against the participant’s account for each calendar quarter in which a balance on such loan is outstanding.  Prior to September 1, 2005 a one-time set-up fee of $75 per loan was charged against the participant’s account.  At December 31, 2006 there were 7,822 outstanding loans totaling $48,606,442.

6

Distributions

A participant or beneficiary may receive distributions from his/her vested account under the Plan upon any termination of employment, retirement, or death in the form of a lump-sum payment, or, if the vested account balance is greater than $1,000, in installments.

Participants are allowed to withdraw amounts that they previously rolled into the Plan.  In addition, participants are allowed to take withdrawals from vested accounts after age 59½.  Prior to that age, withdrawals are allowed from selected accounts in the event of a defined financial hardship to the extent necessary to satisfy the financial need or for any reason from a rollover, after-tax or certain predecessor accounts.  Any hardship withdrawal prior to age 59½ from an account that holds 401(k) contributions generally is limited to the amount of  401(k) contributions made to such account, reduced by prior withdrawals from the account.  Certain other in-service withdrawals carried over from legacy plans are permitted as specified in the Plan rules.

To the extent an account is invested in Company preferred or common shares, a withdrawal or distribution can be in the form of common shares or cash.  Company preferred shares are converted to common shares as necessary to make any distribution in the form of shares.  To the extent an account is invested in Citigroup, Inc. common shares, a withdrawal or distribution can be in the form of common shares or cash.  Any hardship withdrawal prior to age 59½ is in cash.

Fidelity BrokerageLink Investments Fees

The Fidelity BrokerageLink investment option allows a participant to establish a brokerage account with Fidelity, which provides the opportunity to select from thousands of mutual funds, stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit, U.S. Treasury securities and mortgage-backed securities. There are no BrokerageLink investments annual account fees charged to participants, however, the investment options available through BrokerageLink have associated fees.

Administrative Expenses

Administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by the participants of the Plan to the extent allowable by the Plan.

Note 2Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Plan financial statements were prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, changes therein, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities.  Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Certain immaterial reclassifications have been made to prior years’ financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation.

Adoption of New Accounting Standard

In December 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. AAG INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1, Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined –Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans.  This FSP requires the Plan to value the holdings of benefit-responsive investment contracts at fair value.  The FSP states that contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan.  As required by the FSP, the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits presents the fair value of the investment contracts as well as the adjustment of the fully benefit-responsive investment contracts from fair value to contract value.  The Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits is prepared on a contract value basis.

This FSP is effective for financial statement periods ending after December 15, 2006, at which time the Plan adopted it. 

Risks and Uncertainties

The Plan invests in various investment securities.  Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market, and credit risks.  Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.

The Plan provides for investment in the Company’s preferred and common stock funds and other common stock.  At December 31, 2006 and 2005, approximately 17% of the Plan’s total assets were invested in the common stock and preferred stock of the Company.  At December 31, 2006 and 2005, approximately 14% and 17% of the Plan’s total assets were invested in Citigroup, Inc. common stock, respectively.  The underlying values of the Company common stock and preferred stock and Citigroup, Inc. common stock are entirely dependent upon the performance of the Company and Citigroup, Inc., respectively, and the market’s evaluation of such performance.

8

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

Plan investments are stated at fair value, except for short-term money market investments which are valued at cost plus accrued interest which approximates fair value.

Participant loans are valued at their outstanding balances, which approximate fair value.

Preferred stock is based on a valuation model provided by an independent appraiser.

Common stocks traded on national securities exchanges are valued at their closing market prices. When no trades are reported, stocks are valued at the most recent bid quotation.  Securities traded in the over-the counter market are valued at their last sale or bid price.

The shares of the common trust funds are valued at the net asset value per share as reported by the sponsor of the common trust fund.

Mutual funds are valued at their quoted market price.

Guaranteed investment contracts (“GICs”) and synthetic guaranteed investment contracts (“Synthetic GICs”) are reported at fair value.  The fair values of the GICs are calculated by discounting the related cash flows based on current yields of similar instruments with comparable durations.  Synthetic GICs are valued at the fair market value of the underlying assets.  As required by the FSP, the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits presents the fair value of the investment contracts as well as the adjustment of the fully benefit-responsive investment contracts from fair value to contract value.

The BrokerageLink investments are reported at fair value.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade date basis.  Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.  Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Payment of Benefits

Benefit payments are recorded when paid.

Note 4Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts with Financial Institutions

The Plan holds GICs and Synthetic GICs as direct investments that are part of the Stable Value Fund (the Fund).

Traditional GICs.  A GIC is an investment contract issued by an insurance company or other financial institution, backed by the general account of the issuer.  The Plan deposits a lump sum with the issuer and receives a guaranteed interest rate for a specified time.  Interest is accrued on either a simple interest or fully compounded basis and paid either periodically or at the end of the contract term.  The GICs provide a fixed or floating rate of interest over the term to maturity of the contract.  The issuer guarantees that all qualified participant withdrawals will occur at contract value.

Synthetic GICs.  A Synthetic GIC, also known as a wrap contract, is an investment contract issued by an insurance company or other financial institution, backed by a portfolio of bonds or other fixed income securities that are owned by the issuer. The assets underlying the contract are maintained separate from the issuer’s general assets, usually by a third party custodian. The contract provides an interest rate not less than zero. The contract would typically provide that realized and unrealized gains and losses on the underlying assets are not reflected immediately in the value of the contract, but rather are amortized, usually over the time to maturity or the duration of the underlying investments, through adjustments to the future interest crediting rate.

The assets underlying the contracts primarily consist of commingled trust funds sponsored by Dwight Asset Management. The fair value of those funds at December 31, 2006 and 2005 was as follows:

	2006	2005
Dwight Target Fund 2	190,644,486	140,529,220
Dwight Target Fund 5	153,886,576	145,405,729
Dwight Intermediate Core Fund	97,393,125	87,010,517

Primary variables impacting future crediting rates of the Synthetic GICs include current yield of the assets within the contract, duration of the assets covered by the contract, and existing difference between the market value and contract value of the assets within the contract.  Synthetic GICs are designed to reset the respective crediting rate, typically on a quarterly basis.  The crediting rate of Synthetic GICs will track current market yields on a trailing basis.  The rate reset allows the contract value of the wrapped portfolio to converge to the market value over time, assuming the market value continues to earn the current portfolio yield for a period of time equal to the current portfolio duration.  The issuer guarantees that all qualified participant withdrawals will occur at contract value.

Events Limiting Ability to Receive Contract Value.  Certain events limit the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value with the issuer.  While the events may differ from contract to contract, the events typically include: (i) amendments to the Plan documents; (ii) changes to Plan’s prohibition on competing investment options or deletion of equity wash provisions; (iii) complete or partial termination of the Plan or its merger with another plan; (iv) the failure of the Plan or its trust to qualify for exemption from federal income taxes or any required prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA; (v) unless made in accordance with the withdrawal provisions of the Plan, the withdrawal from the wrap contract at the direction of the Company, including withdrawals due to the removal of a specifically identifiable group of employees from coverage under the Plan (such as a group layoff or early retirement incentive program), or the closing or sale of a subsidiary, employing unit or affiliate, the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company, or the Company’s establishment of another tax qualified defined contribution plan; (vi) any change in law, regulation, ruling, administrative or judicial position or accounting requirement, in any case applicable to the Plan or Fund, and (vii) the delivery of any communication to Plan participants designed to influence a participant not to invest in the Fund.  At this time, the Company does not believe that the occurrence of any such market value event which would limit the Plan’s ability to transact at contract value with participants is probable.

Contract Termination.  The GICs generally do not permit issuers to terminate the agreement prior to the scheduled maturity date.  The Synthetic GICs generally are evergreen contracts that permit termination upon notice at any time, and provide for automatic termination if the contract value or the market value of the contract equals zero.  If the market value of the contract equals zero, the issuer is not excused from paying the excess above contract value.  If the Plan defaults in its obligations under the contract, and the default is not cured within a cure period, the issuer may terminate the contract, and the Plan will receive the market value as of the date of termination.  The Synthetic GICs generally permit the issuer or investment manager to convert the wrapped portfolio to a declining duration strategy, in which case the contract would terminate at a date that corresponds to the duration of the underlying fixed income portfolio on the date of an amortization election (“Amortization Election”).  After the effective date of an Amortization Election, the fixed income portfolio must conform to the guidelines agreed upon by the issuer and the investment manager for the Amortization Election period. Such guidelines are intended to result in contract value equaling market value of the wrapped portfolio by such termination date.  The Plan may make an Amortization Election if the contract permits the issuer to terminate at market value, the issuer terminates the contract, and the contract provides for such an Amortization Election.

The GICs or Synthetic GICs are placed with financial institutions whose Standard & Poor’s credit rating is AA- or higher.

Average Yield.  The average yield of the contracts is as follows:

	2006		2005
Average yields:
Based on actual earnings	5.38	%	4.85	%
Based on interest rate credited to participants	5.07	%	4.52	%

Note 5Party-in-Interest Transactions

Transactions resulting in Plan assets being transferred to or used by a related party are prohibited under ERISA unless a specific exemption applied.  FMTC is a party-in-interest as defined by ERISA as a result of being trustee of the Plan.  The Plan invests in funds managed by Fidelity.  The Plan also engages in transactions involving the acquisition or disposition of common stock and preferred stock of the Company, a party-in-interest with respect to the Plan. The Plan also engages in transactions involving the acquisition or disposition of other financial instruments issued by the Company for individuals who participated in the BrokerageLink investments option. These transactions are covered by an exemption from the “prohibited transactions” provisions of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code.

Note 6Plan Termination

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.  Upon such termination, the Plan administrator would direct the Plan trustee to distribute participant account balances.  Upon termination of the Plan participant account balances would vest in full.

Note 7Tax Status

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has determined and informed the Company by letter dated December 31, 2003, that the Plan as designed is in accordance with applicable Section 401-1(b)(3) and the Trust is qualified under Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.  The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter.  On May 26, 2006, the Plan filed with the IRS for a current determination letter.  The Plan administrator and the Plan’s legal counsel believe that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.  Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan’s financial statements.
