Credit Risk Sensitivity. Credit risk is the level of certainty that a security’s issuer will maintain its ability to honor the terms of that security until maturity. As we continue to invest in corporate bonds with relatively long maturities, credit risk is a concern. We mitigate this ongoing risk, in part, by acquiring investment-grade bonds, and by analyzing the financial fundamentals of each prospective issuer. We continue to monitor the status of issuers on an ongoing basis. At December 31, 2007, approximately 94% of invested assets at fair value were held in fixed-maturity securities. The major rating agencies considered 92% of this portfolio to be investment grade. The average quality rating of the portfolio is A-. The table below demonstrates the credit rankings of Torchmark’s fixed-maturity portfolio at fair value as of December 31, 2007.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables-Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Topic 310-20) - Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. This ASU shortens the amortization period for the premium on certain purchased callable debt securities to the earliest call date. This ASU has no effect on the accounting for purchased callable debt securities held at a discount. It is to be applied using a modified retrospective approach and the ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company does not expect this ASU to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Each appointment is reviewed towards the end of this period against performance and the requirements of the Group’s businesses. Non-executive directors are typically expected to serve for two three-year terms from their initial election by shareholders, although the Board may invite them to serve for an additional period. The terms and conditions of appointment of all directors are available for inspection at the Company’s registered office during normal business hours and at the Annual General Meeting.

The financial operating affiliate loss in the year ended December 31, 2011 reflects a write down in value of one investment following a restructuring. Financial operating affiliate income increased during the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the same period of 2009 due to the sale of a significant portion of the Company’s shareholding in Primus Guaranty Ltd.

At December 31, 1994, securities held to maturity totaled $1.606 billion or 62.5% of total invested assets. The fair value of these securities was $1.488 billion which reflects gross unrealized losses of $118 million. The unrealized losses within this portfolio result from increases in market interest rates during 1994. These gross unrealized losses are partially offset by $941,000 of net unrealized gains at December 31, 1994, recorded as a separate component of stockholders' equity resulting from the transfer of securities from available for sale to held to maturity as described in the notes to the financial statements.

For hedging instruments used in cash flow hedges, the changes in fair value of the derivatives representing the effective portion of the hedge are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income. Amounts are reclassified to net investment income or realized capital gains and losses as the hedged or forecasted transaction affects net income. Accrued periodic settlements on derivatives used in cash flow hedges are reported in net investment income. The amount reported in accumulated other comprehensive income for a hedged transaction is limited to the lesser of the cumulative gain or loss on the derivative less the amount reclassified to net income; or the cumulative gain or loss on the derivative needed to offset the cumulative change in the expected future cash flows on the hedged transaction from inception of the hedge less the derivative gain or loss previously reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to net income. If the Company expects at any time that the loss reported in accumulated other comprehensive income would lead to a net loss on the combination of the hedging instrument and the hedged transaction which may not be recoverable, a loss is recognized immediately in realized capital gains and losses. If an impairment loss is recognized on an asset or an additional obligation is incurred on a liability involved in a hedge

As a result of the involuntary bankruptcy proceeding against the Company, the Company was prevented from purchasing from Robert Brennan ("Brennan") an approximately 25% equity interest in International Thoroughbred Breeders, Inc. ("ITB"). Consequently, NPD, Inc. ("NPD"), a newly formed company owned by Nunzio P. DeSantis and Anthony Coelho, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and a Director, respectively, of the Company, purchased the ITB shares in lieu of the Company. NPD concurrently granted the Company an option to purchase the ITB shares. In consideration of the option, the Company agreed to make a loan to NPD to finance a portion of the cash purchase price to be paid by NPD to Brennan at closing and further agreed that, following the dismissal of the involuntary bankruptcy petition, it would guarantee up to $2.0 million of NPD's obligation to pay the remaining portion of the purchase price due Brennan for the ITB shares, and deposit $2.0 million into a cash collateral escrow account to secure its guarantee obligation.

Most fixed income securities do not trade daily, and thus exchange traded prices are generally not available for these securities. However, market information (often referred to as observable inputs or market data, including but not limited to, last reported trade, non-binding broker quotes, bids, benchmark yield curves, issuer spreads, two sided markets, benchmark securities, offers and recent data regarding assumed prepayment speeds, cash flow and loan performance data) is available for most of our fixed income securities. We determine fair value for a large portion of our fixed income securities using available market information. In accordance with GAAP, for disclosure purposes we classify securities valued based on multiple market observable inputs as Level 2 securities.

During the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company received, through a series of dividends from its direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, Lyndon Insurance Group, Inc. and First Protection Company, a promissory note in the principal amount of $54.0 million. This promissory note arose out of the sale, at fair market value, by First Protection Company to PLC all of the outstanding stock of First Protection Corporation. This created an increase in additional paid-in capital for the Company of $21.4 million. Subsequent to the receipt of this dividend, the Company declared and paid an ordinary dividend in the form of the $54.1 million note, including accrued interest to its sole shareholder, PLC.

Key economic indicators The key market in which RBS operates is the UK. Lending in the UK is closely linked to GDP and growth in the housing market is highly dependent on the level of interest rates. Falling unemployment may have a positive impact on lending as more people are able to afford loans. The profitability of the banking sector is adversely impacted by low interest rates as they squeeze the margin between borrowing and lending. The level of impairments is affected among other things by GDP growth, movements of unemployment rates and interest rates.

In evaluating our Student Loan portfolio, losses were projected using either a cash flow or statistical expected loss approach. As more fully described in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements located in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K, the statistical methodology uses probability of default and loss given default (LGD) under various scenarios to derive at a weighted average loss expectation. The scenarios used under the statistical expected loss approach evaluate each transaction under base case and stress case scenarios. The main drivers in assigning appropriate probabilities to LGDs for each policy includes an analysis of the collateral mix; debt type and interest rates; parity level; enhancement levels and remediation opportunities. We believe the statistical expected loss approach is a more efficient methodology for certain deals in our student loan portfolio, such as (i) deals where collateral loan level data is unavailable (and thus the cash flow model, as more fully discussed below could not be used), and (ii) deals where we do not expect to experience meaningful losses.

CNAF’s domestic insurance subsidiaries are subject to risk-based capital requirements. Risk-based capital is a method developed by the NAIC to determine the minimum amount of statutory capital appropriate for an insurance company to support its overall business operations in consideration of its size and risk profile. The formula for determining the amount of risk-based capital specifies various factors, weighted based on the perceived degree of risk, which are applied to certain financial balances and financial activity. The adequacy of a company’s actual capital is evaluated by a comparison to the risk-based capital results, as determined by the formula. Companies below minimum risk-based capital requirements are classified within certain levels, each of which requires specified corrective action. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, all of CNAF’s domestic insurance subsidiaries exceeded the minimum risk-based capital requirements.

As a result of changes in estimates of insured events in prior years, the provision for loss and loss adjustment expenses decreased $25,224 for the year ended 2003 and $14,437 for the year ended 2002. The favorable development is due primarily to lower than anticipated losses related to the personal automobile liability line of business, offset by worse development in automobile physical damage and commercial automobile liability. Conditions and trends that have affected development in the past may not necessarily occur in the future. Accordingly, it may not be appropriate to extrapolate future redundancies or deficiencies based upon these developments. The amounts we will ultimately incur from loss and loss adjustment expenses could differ materially in the near term from the amounts recorded.

Fair values for these instruments are determined using market observable inputs including forward currency and interest rate curves and widely published market observable indices. Credit risk related to the counterparty and the Company is considered when estimating the fair values of these derivatives. However, the Company is largely protected by collateral arrangements with counterparties and determined that no adjustment for credit risk was required as of December 31, 2018 or 2017.

Revenues increased $311, or 12%, to $2.8 billion in 1996 from $2.5 billion in 1995. This increase was largely the result of (i) a $162 increase in premiums and other considerations, reflecting a $226 increase in group insurance premiums from strong group disability sales and renewals, partially offset by a decline in leveraged COLI premiums as a result of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ("HIPA Act of 1996", as discussed below) legislation and (ii) a $149 increase in net investment income, primarily due to an increase in COLI account values. Total benefits, claims and expenses increased $295, or 12%, to $2.7 billion in 1996 from $2.4 billion in 1995. This increase generally reflected an increased block of group disability business and other group insurance and an increase in the Life segment's COLI block of business, partially offset by a $41 decrease in dividends to policyholders primarily due to the elimination of sales of leveraged COLI as a result of the enactment of the HIPA Act of 1996. In addition, expenses in the group insurance business, as a percentage of premiums, have declined over the past several years. This trend, along with favorable mortality and morbidity experience, as well as the factors mentioned above, resulted in an increase in core earnings in this division of $13, or 20%, to $79 in 1996 from $66 in 1995.

Purchase obligations are defined as agreements to purchase goods and services that are enforceable and legally binding on us, and that specifies all significant terms, including the goods to be purchased or services to be rendered, the price at which the goods or services are to be rendered, and the timing of the transactions. Most of our purchase obligations are related to purchases of information technology services or other service contracts. Purchase obligations exclude $280 million of liabilities for uncertain tax positions due to our inability to reasonably estimate the period(s) when potential cash settlements will be made.

We experienced favorable reserve development in all lines of business with the exception of assumed reinsurance which adversely developed as a result of additional reported losses of $4.6 million on 2010 catastrophe activity, and direct commercial multi-peril, which experienced a slight deficiency. Our other liability and products liability lines had significant decreases in losses as a result of a lower level of required reserves for IBNR losses in 2011, a reduction in our legal expenses as a result of an initiative we implemented in 2009, and an overall improvement in our underwriting results.

All fixed maturity and equity security investment assets, regardless of ownership, are included in the investment operations segment.

Future focus Risk selection and correct pricing are the keys to sustainable profitability and also benefit customers by helping to stabilize price levels over time. Since the pricing methods used in the Nordic markets vary in accordance with the competitive situation, there is scope to develop more efficient pricing methods by increasing the transfer of knowledge among the countries in which If is active. For example, the pricing platform for certain products in Finland will be refined using the platforms applied in Norway and Sweden as a model. In addition, improved risk-selection and pricing systems are being used at If ’s call centers, something that has proved effective in efforts to avoid the incorrect pricing of products.

Sales of equity-indexed annuities began declining during the year ended December 31, 1999, primarily due to volatility in the stock market. This volatility affects both the demand for these annuities and the pricing of these products. Increased product costs from stock market volatility, including costs of index options used to hedge the equity return component of these annuities and lower policyholder asset fees can reduce potential credited interest to policyholders. The lower production level continued throughout 2001, which is consistent with the poor performance of the stock market and the negative outlook that persisted during 2001. However, because the Company does not offer variable products or mutual funds, these products provide a key equity-based alternative to the Company

During 1997, the Board of Directors approved a director stock option plan (the "Directors Plan") and reserved 87,320 shares of common stock for issuance under this plan. Under the Directors Plan, options vest over a period determined at the time of grant and are exercisable over a five-year period after the date of grant for an exercise price equal to fair value of the common stock (prior to the initial public offering management's estimate of the fair market value) on the date of grant . In January 2006, the Directors' Plan was amended. The amended plan states that all directors who are not employees of AmCOMP are eligible to receive grants of options under the Directors Plan. Each eligible director receives an automatic, nondiscretionary grant of (1) an option to purchase shares of common stock with an aggregate fair market value at the time of grant equal to $66,000 upon election to the Board and (2) options to purchase shares of common stock with an aggregate fair market value at the time of grant equal to $13,200 annually on each January 1 thereafter so long as he remains an eligible director. In addition, the Board has the authority to make discretionary grants of options under the Plan.

Catastrophe reinsurance serves to protect us, as the ceding insurer, from significant losses arising from a single event including, among others, hurricanes, tornadoes and other windstorms, earthquakes, hail, severe winter weather, fire, explosions, and terrorism. Although we believe our catastrophe reinsurance program, including our retention and co-participation amounts for 2017, are appropriate given our surplus level and the current reinsurance pricing environment, there can be no assurance that our reinsurance program will provide coverage levels that will prove adequate should we experience losses from one significant or several large catastrophes during 2017. Additionally, as a result of the current economic environment, as well as losses incurred by reinsurers in the past several years, the availability and pricing of appropriate reinsurance programs may be adversely affected in future renewal periods. We may not be able to pass these costs on to policyholders in the form of higher premiums or assessments.
