Payments by TCO were current through December 31, 1996, leaving a principal balance of $4.6 million of which $2.2 million was payable to Exstar and $2.4 million was payable to Alpine. The Company believes that TCO may not currently or in the foreseeable future have the ability to repay all of this indebtedness, and does not believe that the collateral securing the indebtedness would satisfy the indebtedness, given the current value of the Exstar Common Stock. Accordingly, in an effort to help resolve financial issues between the Company and TCO and to provide the Company assets of value to the Company's continuing operations, Exstar is considering accepting from TCO, with respect to the $2.2 million of TCO debt owed to it, a transfer to the Company of certain computer systems, furniture, fixtures, properties and rights of TCO. The systems, furniture and fixtures which may be transferred constitute virtually all of TCO's systems, furniture and fixtures, have a current book value of approximately $200,000 and were independently appraised in October 1996 at a total value of approximately $2.4 million. Pursuant to its rights under the Master Agreement with TCO, Exstar currently has a license to use the systems that would be transferred to it by TCO. If the exchange is approved by the Board of Directors (Exstar currently has only one independent director), it is currently contemplated that it would become effective as of January 1, 1997. No resolution has been reached with respect to the $2.4 million of debt owed by TCO to Alpine, but a transfer of certain contingent assets of TCO (including a potential receivable from an unaffiliated insurance company and certain real property rights) in full or partial satisfaction of such debt is under consideration by the parties. Any offset or reduction of the TCO debt to Alpine would require the prior approval of the Illinois DOI.

Future policy benefits on traditional life insurance have been computed using principally a net-level premium method and assumptions for investment yields, withdrawals and mortality based principally on Company experience projected at the time of policy issue, with provision for possible adverse deviations. Interest assumptions for direct individual life reserves range from approximately 4.5% for 1958 issues to 6.75% for 1996 issues. With respect to universal life and annuity products, the retrospective deposit accounting method is used. Policy reserves represent the premiums received plus accumulated interest, less mortality and administrative charges.

In 2001, CNA entered into a one-year aggregate reinsurance treaty related to the 2001 accident year covering substantially all property and casualty lines of business in the Continental Casualty Company pool (the "CCC Cover"). The loss protection provided by the CCC Cover has an aggregate limit of approximately $760.0 million of ceded losses. The ceded premiums are a percentage of ceded losses. The ceded premium related to full utilization of the $760.0 million limit is $456.0 million. The CCC Cover provides continuous coverage in excess of the second section of the Aggregate Cover discussed above. Under the CCC Cover, interest charges on the funds withheld generally accrue at 8.0% per annum. The interest rate increases to 10.0% per annum if the aggregate loss ratio exceeds certain thresholds. Losses of $618.0 million have been ceded under the CCC Cover through December 31, 2002.

As of December 31, 2016, our portfolio of business written in this improving Post-legacy credit environment, including HARP refinancings, represented 88% of our total primary RIF. The combination of improved portfolio mix and favorable credit trends has had a significant positive impact on our results of operations. The negative impact from losses in our Legacy Portfolio has been reduced and we have continued to write a high volume of insurance on high credit quality loans. The improving environment also has contributed to a reduction in our incurred losses and claims submitted and paid in our mortgage insurance business. The number of total new primary mortgage insurance defaults in our insured portfolio declined by 4.9% during the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to the same period of 2015.

Other administrative expenses fell 7 per cent to € 1,094,115 thousand. The decline was mainly due to the sale of the Polish core banking operations (decrease of € 66,917 thousand) and lower office space expenses as a result of the application of IFRS 16. In contrast, depreciation experienced an increase commensurate with the growth in capitalized right-of-use assets. Increases within other administrative expenses resulted from a € 15,230 thousand rise in deposit insurance fees, mainly in Russia and Romania, as well as from increased legal, advisory and consulting expenses, and higher advertising, PR and promotional expenses, principally in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Expenses for leases include expenses for short-term leases as well as leases of low-value assets according to IFRS 16.

The ratio for 2000 included the effect of a transfer to equalisation reserves of CHF 691 million, made possible by the relatively light incidence of large losses. Before this transfer, the ratio was 111%, a figure that benefited from the positive effect of commutations of asbestos and environmental exposures agreed in 2000. In 2001 (excluding the event of 11 September) the combined ratio was 110% after taking into account a release of equalisation reserves of CHF 378 million to compensate for the more severe incidence of other large losses.

The increase in dividends earned was offset by a decline in interest earned, reflecting lower levels of related fixed maturity investments and generally lower interest rates applicable to cash equivalents and short-term investments. In October 2008, Berkshire subsidiaries acquired the Wrigley, Goldman Sachs and General Electric securities for an aggregate cost of $14.5 billion.

Both TIG Insurance and TIG Re work in concert in establishing reinsurance security standards to mitigate the credit exposure arising from potentially uncollectible reinsurance. The financial acceptability of these exposures is monitored vigorously and the Company removed a number of reinsurers from its approved list during 1998. Additionally, TIG Insurance implemented a Dispute Resolution Committee during 1998 to address any reinsurance recoverables, which are disputed due to coverage or interpretation issues. Reinsurance contract terms are reviewed annually and renegotiated in the interim if required to remain in compliance with program needs. Continuity in reinsurance relationships is a high priority for TIG. Reinsurers are subject to licensing and regulation in the jurisdictions in which they conduct business. Countries outside of the United States have varying levels of regulation of insurance and reinsurance companies. Many states allow financial statement credit for reinsurance ceded to a reinsurer that is licensed in another state or foreign jurisdiction, provided such reinsurance meets certain financial requirements or the insurer is provided with collateral (usually in the form of a letter of credit) to secure the reinsurer's obligations. To maintain its ability to receive financial statement credit, TIG typically requires its reinsurers to be licensed in the ceding insurer's state of domicile or to submit collateral in a form and in an amount sufficient to secure the reinsurer's obligations to TIG. Reinsurance does not legally discharge an insurer from its primary liability for the full amount of the policies it writes. If a reinsurer fails to meet its obligations under the reinsurance agreement, the ceding company is required to pay the loss. At December 31, 1998 and 1997, TIG had an allowance of $33 million and $9 million, respectively for potentially unrecoverable reinsurance.

At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company carried reinsurance receivables of $719.7 million and $982.5 million, respectively. These amounts are net of a purchase accounting adjustment and an allowance for uncollectible reinsurance receivables. The purchase accounting adjustment is related to discounting the loss reserves to their present value and applying a risk margin to the discounted reserves. This adjustment was $17.5 million and $18.5 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The allowance for uncollectible reinsurance receivables was $10.5 million and $20.7 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The decrease in the allowance was primarily due to a commutation of the Company’s reinsurance agreement with an unrelated third party reinsurer during the first quarter of 2007 that reduced the uncollectible reinsurance reserve by $6.5 million. A benefit of $0.7 million was realized as a result of the commutation. In addition, the Company released $3.7 million of the reserve for uncollectible reinsurance during 2007, primarily due to a reduction in ceded

We transformed the company into a Societas Europaea (SE) in 2014 and moved its registered office to Hannover at the beginning of 2015. The purpose was to interlink more closely the business management units and to leverage potential synergies and economies of scale in the administration of the business. We write a large portion of our direct business in the London Market and through our Swedish branch. The result of our direct business was significantly improved in the financial year just ended. This is a respectable achievement, especially bearing in mind the intensive competition among the insurers and reinsurers operating in this sector.

RBI’s rating systems combine into the PD all available quantitative and qualitative information relevant for forecasting the credit risk. This metric is based primarily on a statistical selection and weighting of all available indictors. In addition, the PD adjusted in accordance with IFRS 9 requirements takes into account not only historical information and the current economic environment, but also, in particular, forward-looking information such as the forecast for the development of macroeconomic conditions. As a consequence, RBI uses the PD only as a frame of reference for assessing whether the credit risk of a financial instrument has risen significantly since the date of its initial recognition. By anchoring the review of the relative transfer criterion in the robust processes and procedures of the bank’s Group-wide credit-risk-management framework, the bank ensures that a significant increase in the credit risk is identified in a reliable and timely manner based on objective criteria. The review to determine whether the credit default risk as at the financial reporting date has risen significantly since the initial recognition of the respective financial instrument is performed as at the reporting date. This review compares the observed probability of default over the residual maturity of the financial instrument (Lifetime-PD) against the lifetime PD over the same period as expected on the date of recognition. Further details on forward-looking information are provided in the notes under (36) Expected credit losses in the chapter significant increase in the credit risk.

On or about October 29, 2004, Brown & Brown, Inc. was served with a First Amended Complaint (the Complaint) in a putative class action lawsuit pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, styled OptiCareHealth Systems, Inc. v. Marsh &McLennan Companies, Inc., etal., Civil Action No. 04 CV 06954 (DC). The Complaint added Brown & Brown, Inc., as well as six other insurance intermediaries and four commercial insurance carriers and their affiliates, as defendants in a case initially filed against three of the largest U.S. insurance intermediaries (Marsh & McLennan, AON and Willis Group). The Complaint refers to an action that was filed against Marsh & McLennan by the New York State Attorney General on October 14, 2004 and alleges various improprieties and unlawful acts by the various defendants in the pricing and placement of insurance, including alleged manipulation of the market for insurance by, among other things: “bid rigging” and “steering” clients to particular insurers based on considerations other than the customers’ interests; alleged entry into unlawful tying arrangements pursuant to which the placement of primary insurance contracts was conditioned upon commitments to place reinsurance through a particular broker; and alleged failure to disclose contingent commission and other allegedly improper compensation and fee arrangements. The Complaint includes Brown & Brown, Inc. in a group together with the other defendant insurance intermediaries, and does not allege that any separate, specific act was committed only by Brown & Brown, Inc. The action asserts a number of causes of action, including violations of the federal antitrust laws, multiple state antitrust and unfair and deceptive practices statutes, and the federal anti-racketeering (RICO) statute, as well as breach of fiduciary duty, misrepresentation, conspiracy, aiding and abetting, and unjust enrichment, and seeks injunctive and declaratory relief. The Complaint also contains a separate breach of contract claim directed only at the Marsh & McLennan affiliates. The plaintiff, allegedly a client of a Marsh & McLennan subsidiary, seeks to represent a putative class consisting of all persons who, between August 26, 1994 and the date a class is certified in the case, engaged the services of any of the insurance intermediary defendants or any of their subsidiaries or affiliates, and who entered into or renewed a contract of insurance with any of the insurance carrier defendants. The plaintiff seeks unspecified damages, including treble damages, as well as attorneys’ fees and costs.

Realized investment gains and losses, other than those related to separate accounts for which the Company does not bear the investment risk, are reported as a component of revenues based upon specific identification of the investment assets sold. When an other-than-temporary decline in value of a specific investment is deemed to have occurred, the Company reduces the cost basis of the investment to fair value. This reduction is permanent and is recognized as a realized investment loss. Changes in the reserves for mortgage loans are included in realized investment gains or losses.

At each balance sheet date an assessment is made of whether the provisions for unearned premiums are adequate. A separate provision is made, based on information available at the balance sheet date, for any estimated future underwriting losses relating to unexpired risks. The provision is calculated after taking into account future investment income that is expected to be earned from the assets backing the provisions for unearned premiums (net of deferred acquisition costs). The unexpired risk provision is assessed in aggregate for business classes which, in the opinion of the directors, are managed together.

Year-on-year variance analysis In line with the decrease in NPV-at-Risk, the overall BPV decreased in 2013 with EUR 5.1 million. As for NPV-at-Risk this mainly results from the decrease in the duration of the investment of capital and the increased duration of savings in the low interest rate environment of the Eurozone. Furthermore the overall BPV exposure has changed as a result of a change in the strategic position. Besides the variance of the overall BPV exposure there is a variance in the exposure per accounting category. This is mainly the result of increased volume and duration of savings and at the same time a decreased duration of mortgages. As a result the BPV exposure at amortised cost showed an upward move. This move was mitigated by cash flow hedges, which revaluate through equity. The increased sensitivity of other currencies results from an enhancement in the modelling of savings in Australia in Australian dollars.

Additionally, the different methodologies are utilized the same, regardless of the line of business. However, the final selection of ultimate loss and LAE is certain to vary by both line of business and by accident period maturity. There is no prescribed combination of line of business, accident year maturity, and methodologies; consistency in results of the different methodologies and reasonableness of the result are the primary factors that drive the final selection of ultimate loss and LAE.

With respect to both the Mt. McKinley and Everest Re operations, the Company was not a member of the Asbestos Claims Facility (“Wellington”) or the Center for Claims Resolution (“CCR”) claim settlement facilities. Insurers supporting those facilities made broad commitments concerning the application of insurance coverage to asbestos claims. With respect to its direct insurance exposures, the fact that the Company has not made those commitments may allow it to resolve insurance exposure to Wellington/CCR insureds more economically than if it had joined these facilities. With respect to its reinsurance exposures, although the Company was not a signatory to the Wellington or CCR facilities, it issued reinsurance contracts to ceding companies that were signatories. Because the insurers supporting these facilities have generally paid their exposures more quickly than non-signatory insurers, the Company believes that this has generally meant that it has paid its reinsurance exposure more quickly than it likely would have if it had not been subject to Wellington/CCR payments.

The Remuneration Committee recognises that the Group’s performance has not only impacted its shareholders and customers, but also its employees who have worked so very hard over many years to build an organisation of which they were proud and which provided a secure livelihood for them and their families. The Board deeply regrets that our employees’ trust has been eroded and their welfare affected during the last year. While it is both necessary and appropriate that we adopt stringent measures for employee compensation, we are more mindful than ever of the need for the Group to continue to develop the best employment practices in our industry to enable us to retain and recruit outstanding talent. This is critical to the delivery of our strategic plan and to build a sustainable and successful Group for the future.

Released Business Insurance allocated loss adjustment expense reserves by $58 for accident years 2003 to 2005, primarily for workers’ compensation business and package business, as a result of cost reduction initiatives implemented by the Company to reduce allocated loss adjustment expenses for both legal and non-legal expenses. The Company began implementing cost reduction initiatives in late 2003. It was initially uncertain what effect those efforts would have on controlling allocated loss adjustment expenses. During 2004, favorable trends started to emerge, particularly on shorter-tailed auto liability claims, but it was not clear if these trends would be sustained. In early 2005, favorable trends continued and the Company analyzed claims involving legal expenses separate from claims that do not involve legal expenses. This analysis included a review of the trends in the number of claims involving legal expenses, the average expenses incurred and trends in legal expenses. During the second quarter of 2005, the Company released allocated loss adjustment expense reserves on shorter-tailed auto liability claims as the favorable trends on shorter-tailed business emerged more quickly and were determined to be reliable. During both the second and fourth quarter of 2006, the Company determined that the favorable development on package business and workers’ compensation business had become a verifiable trend and, accordingly, reserves were reduced. The $58 reserve release represented 1% of Business Insurance net reserves as of December 31, 2005.
