NEWIM Annual Report 2015

Chairman’s Review

Kennie John Executive Chairman

Tribute Preparing this annual report has been somewhat poignant for me.

I remain very mindful of and grateful for the persons whom have contributed to the twenty- one years of our Company’s existence.

Firstly and most significantly, I must pay tribute to the man whose original idea of a new concept in insurance was to set up a modern organization, which is today known as NEWIM. Mr. Chester John’s passing in 2015 was the cause of much sadness. His drive for excellence, determination and commitment will continue to inspire us all.

The Life Division experienced a loss in 2015 due to the withdrawal of business activity in the Eastern Caribbean at the end of 2014. Also, much was expended on developing some critical infrastructure in the Division.

Our underwriting profits and reserves have increased, all of which are essential to a strong financial position.

Regulations & Insurance Market The Economy Grenada’s economy is showing signs of recovery. This is evident in the agriculture, tourism and construction sectors. The increase in the number of new vehicles purchased in 2015 superseded the mark of the previous year much to the delight of the automotive dealers and the insurance industry. The number of homes and hotels being renovated and built is evidence of a more confident economy.

Despite improved economic activity in those sectors, unemployment remains high and our financial sector has contracted along with credit growth.

Underwriting Performance The company recorded a 10% increase in its overall policy count for the financial period. Notwithstanding this improvement in business activities throughout the year and in particular the fourth quarter, premium income remained identical to that of the previous twelve months.

The market is experiencing a climate change involving mergers and acquisitions as a result of the reality of little growth, plummeting rates and proposed regulations.

The effort to harmonize the insurance regulations and legislation throughout the Eastern Caribbean continues to move forward and has gained momentum with the appointment of a regional steering committee called Eastern Caribbean Financial Services Regulatory Commission- ECFSRC. Members of this committee include a drafter, regulators, industry members and legal representatives from the Attorneys General Office in the region. Consultations are scheduled around the region for 2016.

Our company has started preparing for the new proposed insurance regulations. All members of staff are aware of the changes to come and managers are preparing and familiarising themselves accordingly.

Compliance with the Anti Money Laundering and Counter Terrorist Financing laws are ingrained in our day to day activities and training is ongoing.

A strong underwriting performance in our Property and Casualty Division was achieved by re-engaging our traditional niche market and employing equally strong reinsurance strategies. This contributed significantly to a positive result.

“Our Mission Is Your Protection”

NEWIM Annual Report 2015

Business Infrastructure The company continued to be innovative by investing and enhancing our key business infrastructure during 2015. A new suite of products was added to satisfy today’s market demands and to increase overall flexibility of products, so that we become more competitive in the market by being able to offer insurance coverage to all income brackets.

Improvements in information technology systems, AML policy and procedure, documentation and implementation to comply with modern regulatory standards, corporate governance and to enhance efficiencies and productivity to the highest possible operating standards are other areas where the company expended resources.

Our human resource is our greatest asset and as such is always a priority. Along with specialised training in estate management and personal finance, our company has the privilege of having all employees of the Property & Casualty Division certified by the Chartered Insurance Institute in at least Foundation of Insurance (FIT).

Special Projects We continue to offer internship placements to students. In 2015, for the first time in our company’s history, the internship program brought together students from St. George’s University and Grenadian students studying at international universities in specialized areas such as Actuarial Science and Pure Math.

The students participated in a project which involved the creation of a finance administration and analytic software application to be utilized by our Finance Division.

This restructuring and rebranding represents an 18 Million Dollar investment. This shows the commitment to the insurance industry by the shareholders of NEWIM and to Grenada and the Eastern Caribbean.

Though achieving success in the current economic and financial environment is challenging, we have confidence in the long-term success of our business, management is focused and we believe our strategy is solid. The industry is highly competitive and regulations are changing. We are very conscious of the risks that are arising in the areas of money laundering and terrorist financing, our Board of Directors considers risk assessment and risk management to be among its key responsibilities. We remain confident however, that our measured approach and strong processes will allow us to make the most of the opportunities ahead as we continue to grow and strengthen our organization. We will continue to embrace innovation and pay close attention to our productivity and market share.

I must thank our hard working and dedicated staff and Board of Directors whose efforts and endurance cannot be understated.

Without their continued commitment and support our company will not be where it is today.

Kennie John Executive Chairman

We are proud to provide these rear opportunities to our youthful minds and would continue to grow this internship program.

Future Plans The coming year will be an extremely important one for us. Our company will be restructured to comply with new regulations. Our new structure will comprise of an insurance group with both our Life and General lines of business operating independently.

This change places the company in a ready position for compliance and future opportunities for growth throughout the region. Our goal is to deliver a better consumer experience and a wider variety of product options to clients which will suit their individual needs.

Report of the Auditors to the Members of NEWIM Life and General Assurance Company Limited We have audited the accompanying financial statements of NEWIM Life & General Assurance Company Limited, which comprise the statement of financial position as at December 31, 2015 and the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the company as at 31 December 2015 and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the period then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

INCORPORATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY The Company was incorporated in Grenada on October 18th, 1994 and was duly registered under the Insurance Act of 1973 to conduct general business as well as life, health and annuity insurance. The 1973 Act was replaced by the insurance Act no. 5 of 2010. Under this Act the regulation and supervision of the Insurance sector is the responsibility of GARFIN- The Grenada Authority for the Regulation of Financial Institutions. This Body is defined as the Supervisor of Insurance in the 2010 Act and has duly registered and certified the Company to carry on both General and Long term insurance business in Grenada for the 2015 calendar year. The company’s Long term business commenced during the 2009 financial year. At the date of the Statement of Financial Position, the company employed thirty nine (39) persons (2014: Thirty eight (38) persons) including registered life agents.

2.

REPORTING CURRENCY The financial statements are expressed in Eastern Caribbean dollars (EC$), which is the functional currency of the economies in which the company operates. The EC dollar is pegged to the United States (US) dollar at the rate of US$ 1.00= EC$ 2.70

3.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES a) Basis of Accounting: These financial Statements have been prepared in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and in accordance with the historical cost convention as modified for the revaluation of land indicated in note 9.

The preparation of financial statements which conforms to IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates.

It also requires management to exercise judgment in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed separately.

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently by the Company in the preparation of the adjoining financial statements.

WRA & Co.

b) Foreign Currencies: The Eastern Caribbean Dollar is the functional currency of measurement and presentation of the Company’s financial statements. Foreign Currency transactions during the year have been recorded at the rates of exchange ruling at the dates of the transactions. Monetary amounts receivable or payable at year end in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency at the rate of exchange ruling at that date. Profits or losses on translation of monetary items are reflected in Comprehensive income.

Monetary items are units of currency held and assets and liabilities to be received or paid in a fixed or determinable number of units of currency.

Non-monetary items carried at historical cost are reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

Other non-monetary items which are carried at their fair values are reported at the exchange rate that existed when the fair value(s) were determined. When a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognized in other comprehensive income, any exchange component of that gain or loss is also recognized in other comprehensive income.

Conversely, when a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognized in Comprehensive income, any exchange component of that gain or loss is also recognized in Comprehensive income.

Other comprehensive income comprises items of income and expense that are not recognized in comprehensive income, but rather in equity, such as changes in appraisal surplus, remeasurements on defined employee benefits plans, etc.

c) Financial Instruments: A financial instrument is defined as any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. A financial asset is a contractual right to receive cash in the future, while a financial liability is a contractual obligation to deliver cash in the future.

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument and in the case of a financial asset when control over the asset is transferred to the company.

The 2014 Financial information is based on a reporting period of fourteen (14) months

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued...) c) Financial Instruments: (continued...)

All financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the Statement of Financial Position or in the notes to the financial statements. Upon initial recognition, they are measured at cost, which is the fair value of the consideration given or received to acquire the financial asset or financial liability.

Transaction costs are included in the initial measurement of all financial assets and liabilities. Subsequent to initial recognition, all financial assets are remeasured to fair value, except for the following:

(1) Loans and receivables originated by the Company and not held for trading.

15

WRA & Co.

At the date of the Statement of Financial Position, the carrying value of financial assets which are required to be remeasured are approximately equal to their fair value. Other financial assets are carried at amortised cost, less allowance for impairment in value.

Financial liabilities, after acquisition, are measured at original recorded amount less principal repayments and amortisation.

For financial assets and liabilities remeasured to fair value, differences arising on remeasurement are recognised in Comprehensive income for the period.

d) Loans- Long term Business

(2) Other fixed maturity investments, such as debt securities and mandatorily redeemable preferred shares that the Company intends and is able to hold to maturity; and

Policy Loans arise when the Company extends funds to the policyholder. Policy loans and accrued interest are fully secured by the cash surrender value of the policy. Automatic premium loans arise under the terms of a life insurance contract where premiums are past due. Only policies that have cash surrender values qualify for an automatic premium loan.

(3) Financial assets whose fair value cannot be reliably measured, such as some equity instruments (shares) with no quoted market price.

Policy Loans amounting to EC$ 3,686.00 were outstanding as at 31st December 2015. These loans bear interest of 7% per annum. (See note 12)

(i) Loans and Receivables These are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market.

Loans and receivables are carried at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method less provision for impairment. A provision for impairment of loans and receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not recover all amounts due according to the original terms.

(ii) Held-to-maturity Held to maturity financial assets are non-derivative assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities, other than those that meet the definition of loans and receivables that the Company’s management has a positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. These instruments are recorded at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment, with revenue recognized on an effective yield basis.

e) Revenue Recognition and Measurement In general, revenue is recognised when the outcome of a transaction can be estimated reliably and taking into consideration the probability of economic benefits flowing to the Company, the stage of completion of the transaction at the date of the Statement of financial position and the costs incurred on and to complete the transaction.

Property and Casualty Business Premium income relates to both new and renewed insurance policies provided by the Company. Income is recognised when the Corporation has either collected from or billed customers in accordance with stipulated policy conditions.

A provision is made for unearned premiums equivalent to the proportion of insurance premium received during the year which relate to periods of insurance subsequent to the date of the statement of financial position.

Insurance Contracts Insurance contracts transfer significant insurance risk. It may also transfer financial risk. Financial risks includes credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity and market risk.

The 2014 Financial information is based on a reporting period of fourteen (14) months

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued...) e) Revenue Recognition and Measurement: (continued...)

For the most part insurance contracts are classified based on the duration of the risk and whether or not the terms and conditions are fixed.

Short term contracts Property and casualty insurance are in general one (1) year renewable contracts designed to provide insurance protection to property, motor and liability.

Property insurance coverage provides compensation to policyholders for damages to their properties; including commercial properties and private dwellings (Homeowners).

Customers may also be recompensed for the value of the properties in the event of a total loss.

Casualty insurance offers coverage to the insured for risk resulting in bodily harm or financial loss to third parties in the normal course of business activities. Common types of casualty insurance include personal accident, employers’ liability, product liability and professional indemnity.

Motor Vehicle insurance offers protection for damages or injuries to third parties arising from vehicle accidents caused by the negligence of the insured person. Motor insurance contracts provide indemnity coverage based on specified limits of liabilities in accordance with legislation. The Company also offers comprehensive protection to the insured for “own damage’’ loss.

Short Term Contracts-Health Policies The Company also sells group and individual health and hospitalization contracts. These contracts protect policyholders against the consequence of events such as death, disability and sickness that would affect the ability of insured or his/her dependants to continue with their current lifestyle.

Benefits are paid on the occurrence of an insured incident on a fixed basis or to the extent of the economic loss experienced by the policyholder. There are no maturity benefits or surrender benefits.

Premium income is recognised when they are due on a monthly basis. Contracts which are billed quarterly, semiannually and yearly are recognized as earned revenue on a pro rata basis. The provision for unearned premiums is

WRA & Co.

recognized for the portion of the premium that relates to the unexpired terms of the coverage.

Claims, benefits and loss adjustment are recorded in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as per note 23.

The Corporation also offers Group Life, Creditors Life and other short duration life insurance contracts. These contracts provide benefits as a result of death; natural and accidental and disability. They are annually renewable contracts.

Long Term Contracts These legally binding agreements insure events associated with human life (for example death, dismemberment and disability). Other benefits include accumulated cash values, policy loans and waiver of premium (WP) benefits.

Premiums are recognised as earned when they become payable by the policyholder. Premiums are recorded before deduction of commission.

If premiums remain unpaid after thirty one (31) days, the contract is either terminated or an automatic premium loan (APL) may settle the premiums.

The company offers a range of life products including whole life, term life and endowment.

Benefits and claims payable to beneficiaries are recorded as an expense in the relevant financial period. These are discussed further in note 23.

Policy loans given to customers are recorded in the financial statements as loans and receivables. These are normally secured by the accumulated cash values of in-force policies.

Reinsurance Long Term Business and Health The insurer may cede certain levels of risk to the reinsurers, in the normal course of business. This limits the exposure to loss on any single insured and also allows the Company to recoup benefits paid, by ceding premiums to reinsurers under quota share and excess of loss treaty contracts.

The benefits to which the Company is entitled under reinsurance contracts held are acknowledged as reinsurance assets. These Reinsurance recoverable amounts are measured in accordance with the terms and conditions of the reinsurance contracts.

The 2014 Financial information is based on a reporting period of fourteen (14) months

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued...) e) Revenue Recognition and Measurement: (continued...)

Reinsurance liabilities consists of premiums payable for reinsurance coverage and are expensed in the relevant financial period. Any amount that remains unpaid for the current period is recorded in accounts payable and accruals as due to reinsurers.

f) Non-premium Revenue and Expense recognition Non-premium revenues and expenses are recognized on an accrual basis.

Investment Income Interest income is included in the accounts using the effective interest rate method.

benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

Increases which results from the revaluation of Freehold land are credited to the revaluation surplus account in equity. Decreases that offset previous increases of the same asset are charged against the revaluation reserve directly in equity; all other decreases are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever there is objective evidence to indicate that the carrying amount of an asset is greater than its estimated recoverable amount and is written down immediately to its recoverable amount.

The residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted where appropriate, at each Statement of financial position date.

i) Depreciation and Amortisation Dividend Income Dividends are recorded when the right to receive payment is established.

Commissions Income Commission income is recognized on an accrual basis. This income relates to commissions received on reinsurance contracts and is calculated by a combination of a flat brokerage fee or a percentage of business ceded to the reinsurers.

Finance Cost Finance cost is recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

g) Cash and Cash equivalents For cash flow purposes cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand balances (short term) with the bank, bank term deposits and bank overdraft.

h) Property Plant & Equipment Except for land, Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost. Historical cost includes expenditure that is necessary and directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets.

Expenditure that extends the useful lives or increases the value of assets are capitalized. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying value or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate only when it is probable that future economic

Depreciation is provided on all depreciable assets on the straight line basis at rates sufficient to write off the cost or valuation of the assets over their useful lives. Repairs and maintenance are charged to current operations, whilst the costs of improvements are capitalized. The cost of property, plant & equipment sold, retired or otherwise disposed of and the accumulated depreciation thereon, are eliminated from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss reflected in current operations.

The annual rates for depreciation are as follows: Asset Rate Furniture, Computer Equipment, Other electronics and Software 33.33% Furniture, Fixtures and other Equipment 10% Motor Vehicles 20% Leasehold Improvements 10%

j) Impairment of assets The Company at each statement of financial position date assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.

A financial asset is said to be impaired if its carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The amount of the impairment, for assets carried at amortized cost is calculated as the assets carrying amount less the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate of the financial instrument.

The 2014 Financial information is based on a reporting period of fourteen (14) months

the present value of the expected expenditure necessary to cover the obligation and consider the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.

j) Impairment of assets (continued...)

Where the Company expects a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain and the amount of the receivable can be reliably measured.

Objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired consist of observable data that is brought to the attention of management as a result of one or more of the following events:

(i)

It is probable that the issuer or the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization

(ii) The issuer or the debtor is experiencing significant financial difficulties (iii) There is a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in payments (iv) There is no longer an active market for that financial asset due to financial difficulties (v) Data or information that indicates there is the likelihood of a decrease in the estimated future cash flow from the asset or group of assets since the initial recognition of those assets. Such data include: »» adverse changes in payment status of issuers or borrowers »» local or national economic conditions that is associated with defaults on the asset or group of assets.

If in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment reduces and the reduction can be objectively related to an event that transpired after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment is decreased and the decrease is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.

k) Provisions Provisions are recognized when the company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be expected to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the obligation can be ascertained.

The amount of the provision represents the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation as at the end of the reporting period. Provisions are measured at

4.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, management is required to make judgments and assumptions that affect the value of assets, liabilities and comprehensive income.

These critical estimates are based on historical data and expectations of future events. The Company continually evaluates the estimates and relies on consultation with experts including actuaries and legal counsel in ascertaining the values to be incorporated in the financial statements.

Impairment of Loans and Receivables The Company makes an in depth assessment into the possible impairment of receivables resulting from insurance contracts. The determination of the provision for bad and doubtful debts is completed by reviewing the age of the receivable along with the credit worthiness of the debtor.

Provision for Outstanding Claims The Company determines the provision for outstanding claims by estimating the value of the claims that are reported but not settled by the year end. The liability also considers Claims incurred but not reported (IBNR) by incorporating statistics based on historical data.

Useful Lives of Property, Plant and Equipment The Company conducts a periodic review of the useful lives of its Property, Plant and Equipment. Factors such as technological development and changes in market conditions may negatively affect the estimated useful life of these assets.

Any significant changes in the expected useful life, depreciation and amortization charges are adjusted prospectively.

MANAGEMENT OF INSURANCE AND FINANCIAL RISK In the normal course of business, the Company issues insurance contracts which transfers insurance or financial risk or both.

Insurance risk is concerned with the possibility that an insured event or peril occurs and the uncertainty of the amount of the resulting claim.

Claims Risk The principal risk associated with insurance contracts is that the amounts incorporated in the provision for claims and benefits are inadequate as the actual claim experiences are greater than expected. This could occur in an insurance portfolio as insured events are difficult to predict and vary from year to year. More so, predicting the frequency and severity of claim events is not an exact science.

The key financial risk areas are summarized as follows:

• Credit risk • Interest rate risk • Foreign Currency risk

19

WRA & Co.

The Company’s main reinsurers for its general and long term contracts carry at least an A-rating by Standards and Poors (S&P) and AM Best.

Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument may fluctuate based on the volatility of interest rates in the market. This risk has the potential to result in financial loss as fluctuations may lead to cash flows from assets and policy obligation being mismatched.

Foreign Currency risk Foreign currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Except for the US dollar savings account in note 13, and the liability to reinsurers stated in note 16, the Company has no financial instruments that are denominated in currencies other than the Eastern Caribbean (EC) dollar.

Operational Risk Operational risk is the uncertainty occurring from larger than expected losses or damage to reputation arising from inadequate or failed internal processes, systems, people or from external events.

• Operational risk • Liquidity risk Credit risk Credit risk emerges when the counterparty is unable to fulfil its obligation to the company, which may result in a loss to the value of financial assets. Exposure to this type of loss revolves around the following areas:

• Amounts due from insurance intermediaries • Reinsurers’ share of Insurance Liabilities • Amounts due from reinsurers in respect of claims already paid • Term Deposits placed with the banks • Amounts due from policyholders The Company manages its credit risk by several means including but not limited to the following: Term deposits are placed with banks regulated by the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB); which are selected after considering the past and expected financial performance, credit worthiness and ability to honour payment obligations when they fall due.

This risk is managed through sound internal control policies and procedures, internal audits and review by management and human resource training and development.

Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the company may experience cash shortages thus failing to meet its obligation when they fall due.

INSURANCE RISK- Long Term Business and Health Contracts With life and health contracts, insurers are exposed to insurance risk including product design, pricing, mortality, morbidity, lapse, expense, reinsurance and estimation of actuarial liability.

(1) Product Design Risk This is the risk associated with products that are inadequately designed or insufficiently priced, which can lead to financial loss and defamation to the company’s goodwill.

In pricing a product, the Company considers the expenses and related taxes, prevailing and expected investment yield,

MANAGEMENT OF INSURANCE AND FINANCIAL RISK (continued...)

The policy maintenance expenses include assumptions about long term inflation and a provision for adverse deviation.

the age of the insured or beneficiary and the guaranteed rates in determining the cash value of policies.

(5) Reinsurance Risk

Mortality risk is a measure of the sensitivity of the Company’s liability for the resultant higher mortality rates than charged for in the premiums.

Reinsurance assets and cash flows are accounted for on a policy by policy basis. These amounts are integrated into the accounts based on the terms and conditions of the reinsurance treaties in force. Critical factors considered include reinsurance allowances, reinsurance premiums and the reinsured portion of the Company’s portfolio. It is essential to note that the existence of reinsurance treaties do not absolve the Company for its liability as the company is ultimately responsible for the timely settlement of claims that are lodged.

Higher mortality rates would result in greater claims payout for policies which provide the death benefit. Essentially, the Company reviews its mortality assumptions on an annual basis to ensure that its life products are appropriately priced.

Reinsurance risk extend to the reinsurance market which lends to the possibility that financial losses may be brought to bear on the Company as a result of adverse changes in the reinsurance market such as:

The risk of under pricing or over pricing may arise due to lack of statistical data and the use of assumptions that may differ significantly from the actual experience.

(2) Mortality risk

The Company utilizes the mortality chart of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries (CIA), in the absence of a Caribbean Mortality table. For the most part the tables have been incorporated at 100%, except for Creditors life which were included at 125% of CIA 8692 Aggregate mortality table. As the Company is new to this market, the Provision for Adverse Deviation (PfAD) is at the higher end of the recommended range.

(3) Lapses If many policies lapse or are terminated, in the early years before the Company is able to recover the initial cost connected with the issuing and maintaining the policy, then the Company would experience losses on these lapsed policies.

(4) Policy Expense and inflation Expense risk is the possibility that the future expenses are higher than planned. This risk occurs mainly in products where the cost cannot be passed to the customer thus increasing the actuarial liability of the firm.

The expense amounts that are included in the policy reserves are to provide for the future costs of administering the policy.

These expenses include premium collection, adjudication and claims processing, policy communication and related indirect expenses and overhead.

• Increase in reinsurance cost on existing treaties • Discontinuance of current treaties by existing reinsurers • Shrinking of reinsurance capacity • Insolvency of participating reinsurers (6) Actuarial Valuation In addition to the above factors, the under mentioned assumptions are considered by the Appointed Actuary (AA) in determining the actuarial reserve for future policyholders’ benefits:

(a) Investment Yield In calculating the policy reserves, the net investment income on assets which support the reserve is taken into account along with the income expected to be earned or forgone on reinvestment.

The volatility of interest rate returns and the uncertainties associated with asset defaults can lead to asset/liability mismatch and consequential losses to the Company. The interest rate is assumed at 4% per annum for the financial period.

(b) Margin for Adverse Deviation assumption (MfAD) The Actuarial Reserves for the Financial period ended

MANAGEMENT OF INSURANCE AND FINANCIAL RISK (continued...)

WRA & Co.

The Company manages its Claim risk by applying rigorous Underwriting principles that allow premiums to reflect the risk accepted. In most instances, the Company is guided by additional information such as medical reports, reports obtained from loss adjusters and other external sources in order to indemnify its claimants.

December 31, 2015 were determined under The Policy Premium Method (PPM).

The reserves represent the present value of expected benefits and the associated costs less the present value of future premium using best estimate hypothesis and adjusted by a provision for adverse deviation.

6.

RISK MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW In addition to the Strategies employed above, the Board of Directors is charged with the responsibility of ensuring that the Company manages risk by operating within the defined parameters of its Reinsurance treaties and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Insurance Contracts offered to the general public.

The provision for adverse deviation allows for possible deterioration in the application of best practices by employing some sensitivity analysis while relying on the typical experience of other insurers in the Caribbean region.

Long Term Contracts (Life)

The Company employs structures that would allow it to accomplish the following underlying principles:

Contracts which provide coverage in the event of death could be considerably impacted by lifestyle changes such as smoking, alcohol consumption, exercise habits and epidemics such as AIDS. The Company manages these risks through reinsurance arrangements, stringent underwriting procedures including mandatory medical examinations and testing. The Company aims to underwrite risk of diverse nature, type and level. In addition, maximum limits are set in respect of benefit payout to a single insured within a given year of coverage.

• Identify and categorize risk including emerging risk • Measure significant risk areas • Monitor and Control risk • Report and Communicate risk Capital Risk Management The Company designs its Capital Risk Protocol to ensure that it would be able to continue as a Going Concern, provide the flexibility in order to take advantage of growth opportunities, support the risk associated with the enterprise and to optimize the return to its shareholders.

Short Term Contracts Health Claims are affected by similar factors mentioned above.

Property and Casualty Claims The exposure of the Company to substantive losses under these short term contracts can be greatly attributed to catastrophic events such as earthquakes, floods, collapse of major corporations (liability insurance cover) including banks, subsidence and windstorms.

Actual losses may also overrun anticipated losses where fallacious claims are submitted.

The monetary awards granted by the judicial courts for bodily injury to employees (employer’s Liability), and the members of the public (Public Liability) may exceed the anticipated values derived in the reserving of claims. In addition, the settlements (general damages) granted to injured passengers and pedestrians involved in motor vehicular accidents may be higher than expected.

The Capital Structure of the Company comprise of its liabilities, including long term loans, and equity. Equity is comprised of issued shares, reserves and retained earnings.

OPERATING SEGMENTS International Financial Reporting Standard 8 sets out the criteria that defines an operating segment. Having considered the products and services that are subject to similar risks and returns, the Company has identified the following reportable business segments:

• Property and Casualty – “P&C” (General Business) • Ordinary and Group Life (Long Term) • Individual and Group Health

Individual Ordinary Life Business The policy reserves for the Individual Ordinary Life Business was calculated under the Policy Premium Method (PPM). The reserves represent the present value of expected policy benefits and related costs less the present value of future premiums using the best estimate assumptions and adjusted by margins for adverse deviation (MfAD). These amounts, coupled with future premiums and investment income will be required to settle future outstanding claims, benefits and expenses on all policies.

In calculating the reserves, assumptions are made concerning factors such as mortality, morbidity, future investment yield, future expense (maintenance) levels, future lapses and surrender rates. As the probability of deviation from best estimates declines, the provision for adverse deviation (PfAD) will be embedded in future income to the extent they are not required. (See also note 5.6 b)

As part of its overall risk management mechanism, the Company procures various reinsurance arrangements. These agreements allow a certain level of risk to be ceded (relinquished) to the reinsurer. However, the presence of the reinsurance treaties does not absolve the company from its liabilities. Therefore, significant losses may be experienced where claims are not honoured by the reinsurer.

Reinsurance Assets represents amounts recoverable from the reinsurers and are acknowledged when the Company is virtually certain that the reinsured portion of the loss would be recouped.
