If the conjunctive I is identical to the present form of
the indicative (which happens quite often) the conjunctive
II is used instead of the conjunctive I.
Have
a look at this example
Er sagt: "Wir haben
keine Lust."
He
says: "We don't feel like it."
Transformation
with conjunctive I
Transformation
with conjunctive II
Er sagt, dass wir keine Lust
haben.
Er sagt, dass wir keine Lust
hätten.
Have you noticed? The conjunctive I is identical with
present form of indicative mode.
