     The Plan Administrative Committee and Plan Participants
     The St. Paul Companies, Inc. Savings Plus Plan:

     We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets
     available for plan benefits of The St. Paul Companies, Inc.
     Savings Plus Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2001 and 2000,
     and the related statements of changes in net assets available for
     plan 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 auditing standards
     generally accepted in the United States of America.  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 plan benefits of The St. Paul Companies, Inc.
     Savings Plus Plan as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the
     changes in the net assets available for plan benefits for the
     years then ended in conformity with accounting principles
     generally accepted in the United States of America.

     Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion
     on the basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The
     supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) 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 responsibilty 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.

                         December 31, 2001 and 2000



Note 1   Description of the Plan

         General Provisions
         ------------------

         The St. Paul Companies, Inc. Savings Plus Plan (the Plan) is a
         defined contribution plan which provides retirement and other
         benefits to eligible employees of participating companies.  The
         St. Paul Companies, Inc. (the Company) and its subsidiaries,
         St. Paul Fire and Marine Insurance Company, St. Paul
         Reinsurance Management Corporation and Octagon Risk Services,
         Inc. currently participate in the Plan.  Fidelity and Guaranty
         Life Insurance Company (F&G Life) and Management Science
         Associates, Inc. (MSA) each withdrew from the Plan effective
         September 28, 2001 and July 27, 2001, respectively, pursuant to
         the sales of F&G Life and MSA by the Company.  The Company has
         appointed the Administrative Committee as the Plan
         Administrator and the Benefit Plans 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 is the trustee for the trust
         maintained in connection with the Plan.

         The following brief description of the Plan is provided for
         general information purposes.  Participants should refer to the
         Plan document and the employee benefits program manual for more
         complete information.

         Participation, Vesting and Forfeitures
         --------------------------------------

         All employees of participating companies, as defined by the
         Plan, are eligible to participate immediately upon employment.
         Participants are 100% vested in their contributions and related
         earnings. Participants become vested in pre-1999 Company
         contributions at the rate of 20% after two years of service,
         increasing 20% per year of additional service and are 100%
         vested after six years of service.  Participants are
         immediately vested in post-1998 Company contributions.
         Nonvested Company contributions are forfeited by terminating
         participants.  Forfeitures can be used to restore accounts, pay
         Plan administrative expenses or offset Company contributions or
         salary conversion contributions.  Upon termination of the Plan
         or change in control of the Company, participant account
         balances would vest in full.

         Merger
         ------

         On April 18, 2000, the Company completed a merger with the MMI
         Companies, Inc. and subsidiaries, and effective July 1, 2000
         the MMI Companies, Inc. Savings & Profit Sharing Plan (401(k)),
         was merged into the Plan.

Note 1   Description of the Plan (continued)

         Contributions
         -------------

         Participants elect to have their employer make salary
         conversion (pretax) contributions to the Plan on their behalf
         under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.  Salary
         conversion contributions are currently limited to 15% of
         employees' annual base salary with an annual maximum of
         $10,500.

         Participating companies make matching contributions of one
         dollar for every dollar of participant salary conversion
         contributions up to 4% of their base salary.  This matching
         contribution is made in the form of The St. Paul Companies,
         Inc. Preferred Stock and is invested in The St. Paul Companies,
         Inc. Stock Ownership Plan.

         A company contribution of approximately $581 thousand was made
         to the Plan on July 18, 2000 by the MMI Companies, Inc., which
         was related to employee contributions made to the MMI
         Companies, Inc. Savings and Profit Sharing Plan (401(k))
         through June 30, 2000.

         The Plan offers eleven separate investment funds and a
         brokerage window as described below:

         St. Paul Common Stock Fund
         --------------------------

         The St. Paul Common Stock Fund is invested in shares of common
         stock of The St. Paul Companies, Inc., up to a maximum of 10

         portion held in short-term investments.

         F&G Life Stable Interest Fund
         -----------------------------

         The F&G Life Stable Interest Fund is invested in an investment
         contract with Fidelity & Guaranty Life Insurance Company which
         preserves principal and also provides a fixed interest rate
         which is determined each year.  Neither principal nor interest
         under this contract is guaranteed or insured by the U.S.
         Government.

Note 1   Description of the Plan (continued)

         Investment Funds (continued)
         ----------------------------

         Fidelity BrokerageLink
         ----------------------

         The Fidelity BrokerageLink, first available on July 1, 2001,
         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.  A minimum transfer of $2,500 from investment funds
         is required to open a BrokerageLink account.  Subsequent
         transfers from investment funds to the BrokerageLink account
         must be at least $1,000.  The BrokerageLink account has an
         annual fee of $100 which is paid by the participant.

         Allocation
         ----------

         Participants may elect to have their participating Company
         salary conversion and Company supplemental match contributions
         invested in these funds in 1% multiples as they choose and may
         also transfer their balances daily within these funds.

         Investment Income
         -----------------

         Investment income is allocated daily to participant accounts on
         the basis of each participant's respective share of the assets
         of each applicable fund.

         Distributions
         -------------

         Distribution of benefits from the Plan is made upon retirement,
         permanent total disability, death or employment termination.
         Distributions from the Company Stock Fund may be made either in
         shares of common stock of The St. Paul Companies, Inc., cash or
         any combination thereof at the discretion of the participant.
         Distributions are based on a participant's share of the market
         value of the assets in the applicable funds when the
         distribution occurs.

         Participants are permitted withdrawals from their share of
         Company match and salary conversion contributions for financial
         hardship reasons, as defined by the Plan.

Note 1   Description of the Plan (continued)


         Participant Loans
         -----------------

         Participants may request to receive as a loan from the Plan up
         to 50% of their vested account balance subject to a minimum of
         $500 and a maximum of $50,000.  Loans are made at the current
         prime interest rate plus 1/2% and must be repaid by payroll
         deduction over a maximum period of five years (ten years if the
         loan is designated as a primary residence loan).  Participants
         pay a $75.00 set-up fee for each loan.


         Tax Status
         ----------

         The Internal Revenue Service has issued a determination letter
         stating that the Plan qualifies under Section 401(a) of the
         Internal Revenue Code and that the trust created thereunder is
         exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(a) of the
         Internal Revenue Code.  Since the receipt of the determination
         letter, certain Plan amendments have been made.  It is the
         opinion of the Company that the Plan continues to qualify under
         Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.

         Company match contributions invested in the Plan and salary
         conversion contributions invested in the Plan for participants
         by their employers are not taxed to the participant until
         received as a distribution from the Plan.  Any appreciation of
         shares of common stock of The St. Paul Companies, Inc.
         distributed to a participant is not taxed until the participant
         disposes of such shares.  Under certain circumstances a
         distribution may be subject to excise taxes of 10% in addition
         to normal income tax.

         Plan loans to participants are generally not considered taxable
         income.

         Taxes on rollover transfers are deferred until the rollover
         amounts are received as a distribution from the Plan.


         Plan Termination
         ----------------

         Although the Company expects to continue the Plan indefinitely,
         it has reserved the right to terminate the Plan at any time.
         Upon such termination, the Plan administrator would direct the
         Plan trustee to distribute participant account balances.  Upon
         termination of the Plan or change in control of the Company,
         participant account balances would vest in full.

Note 2   Significant Accounting Policies

         The accompanying Plan financial statements are presented on
         the accrual basis of accounting.

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

         The investment in common stock of The St. Paul Companies, Inc.
         and in shares or units of investment funds are carried at
         market value,  based on published market quotations.  Realized
         gains or losses on sales of these investments and the change in
         unrealized appreciation or depreciation in market value of
         these investments are presented in total in the statements of
         changes in net assets available for plan benefits.  The average
         cost method is used to determine cost of shares sold or
         distributed.  Purchases and sales of investments are recorded
         on a trade date basis.  Dividends are recorded on the ex-
         dividend date.

         Participant loans are carried at unpaid principal amounts plus
         accrued interest.

         Money market fund and short-term investments are carried at
         cost plus accrued interest, which approximates market value.
         The benefit-responsive investment contract is valued at
         contract value (see Note 4).

         A portion of the administration expenses of the Plan is paid by
         the Company and are not reflected in the accompanying financial
         statements.  Plan administrative expenses paid by the Plan are
         paid out of forfeitures.  Plan forfeitures are used to restore
         accounts, pay administrative expenses, offset company matching
         contributions or salary conversion contributions.

                       December 31, 2001 and 2000



Note 3   Plan Amendment

         The Plan was amended effective as of Dec. 13, 1999, to provide
         each participant who becomes an employee of Metropolitan
         Property & Casualty Insurance Company (Metropolitan) on Jan. 1,
         2000 pursuant to the terms of the Stock and Asset Purchase
         Agreement dated as of July 12, 1999 between St. Paul Fire and
         Marine Insurance Company and Metropolitan, shall be entitled to
         elect to have his entire vested account balance (including any
         outstanding loans) transferred to the MetLife Savings and
         Investment Plan in a voluntary trust-to-trust transfer meeting
         the requirements of Treas. Reg. Section 1.411(d)-4(Q&A-3)(b).
         On Feb. 14, 2000, the Plan transferred $28.6 million to the
         MetLife Savings and Investment Plan in a voluntary trust-to-
         trust transfer elected by certain participants who became
         employees of MetLife or its affiliate, on Jan. 1, 2000.

Note 4   Investment Contract

         The Plan has a benefit-responsive investment contract with F&G
         Life, represented by the investment in the F&G Life Stable
         Interest Fund.  F&G Life maintains the contributions in a
         general account.  The account is credited with earnings on the
         underlying investments and charged for participant withdrawals
         and administrative expenses.  The contract is included in the
         financial statements at contract value as reported to the Plan
         by F&G Life.  Contract value represents contributions made
         under the contract, plus earnings, less participant
         withdrawals and administrative expenses.  Participants may
         ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a
         portion of their investment at contract value.

         There are no reserves against contract value for credit risk
         of the contract issuer or otherwise.  The average yield and
         crediting interest rate was 6.0 percent for 2001 and 5.35
         percent for 2000, respectively.  The crediting interest rate
         is reset annually based on projections of the investment
         returns for the forthcoming year, but may not be less than 4
         percent.


Note 5   Transfers from Other Plans

         The Plan allows for rollover transfers to be made to the Plan
         by employees of participating companies.  These rollover
         transfers are lump-sum distributions from other tax-qualified
         plans of previous employers which participants elect to have
         invested in the Plan within sixty days of receipt.  On July 1,
         2000 the MMI Companies, Inc. Savings & Profit Sharing Plan
         (401(k)), transferred approximately $29.9 million into the
         Plan.

                       December 31, 2001 and 2000



Note 6   Party-in-Interest Transactions

         Transactions resulting in Plan assets being transferred to or
         used by a related party are prohibited under the Employee
         Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) unless a
         specific exemption applied.  Fidelity Management Trust Company
         (Fidelity) is a party-in-interest as defined by ERISA as a
         result of being trustee of the Plan.  Fidelity invests Plan
         assets in their short-term investment fund.  The Plan also
         engages in transactions involving the acquisition or
         disposition of common stock and the short-term pool of The St.
         Paul Companies, Inc., a party-in-interest with respect to the
         Plan.  These transactions are covered by an exemption from the
         "prohibited transactions" provisions of ERISA and the Internal
         Revenue Code.


Note 7   Subsequent Events

         All shares of common stock of the Company currently held in the
         Common Stock Fund of the Plan, as well as the account balances
         under the Plan reflecting an interest in the Common Stock Fund,
         were transferred to the Company's Stock Ownership Plan
         effective at the close of business and the completion of all
         Plan transactions on March 28, 2002.

         All investment options (other than common or preferred stock of
         the Company) currently held in the Stock Ownership Plan to
         allow for diversification elections under the terms of the
         Stock Ownership Plan, as well as the account balances under the
         Stock Ownership Plan reflecting an interest in such investment
         options were transferred to the Plan effective at the close of
         business and the completion of all Plan transactions on March
         28, 2002.

         Effective May 31, 2002, the Company added three new investment
         options to the Plan:  the Nuveen Balanced Stock and Bond Fund
         (Class R), the Nuveen Large-Cap Value Fund (Class R) and the
         Nuveen Rittenhouse Growth Fund (Class R).
