The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-12, Compensation - Stock Compensation (ASC Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. This ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. This update further clarifies that compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

The most significant source of liquidity for our finance operations has been our ability to finance the receivables we originate in the secondary markets through loan securitizations. Adverse changes in the securitization market could impair our ability to originate, purchase and sell loans or other assets on a favorable or timely basis. Any such impairment could have a material adverse effect upon our business and results of operations. The securitization market is sensitive to the credit ratings of Conseco Finance in connection with our securitization program. A negative change in the credit ratings of Conseco Finance could have a material adverse effect on our ability to access capital through the securitization market. Factors considered by the rating agencies in assigning such ratings include corporate guarantees, payment priority, current and anticipated credit enhancement levels, quality of the current and expected servicing, as well as additional factors associated with each distinct asset type. Market participants' concerns with Conseco Finance's limited financial flexibility, as reflected by the current senior unsecured ratings, may have an effect on liquidity in future securitization transactions. In addition, certain manufactured housing transactions have had ratings actions that have either lowered the original ratings or placed on credit watch certain debt classes. These rating actions could have an effect on Conseco Finance's access to liquidity in the securitization market in the future. In addition, the securitization market for many types of assets is

Both internal and external forces influence White Mountains’ financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Claim settlements, premium levels and investment returns may be impacted by changing rates of inflation and other economic conditions. In many cases, significant periods of time, ranging up to several years or more, may lapse between the occurrence of an insured loss, the reporting of the loss to White Mountains and the settlement of the liability for that loss. The exact timing of the payment of claims and benefits cannot be predicted with certainty. White Mountains’ insurance and reinsurance operating subsidiaries maintain portfolios of invested assets with varying maturities and a substantial amount of short-term investments to provide adequate liquidity for the payment of claims.

In connection with these agreements, the Company will provide transition services until the earlier of eighteen months from the December 30, 2005 closing or when the operations of AFLIAC, and the FAFLIC business to be reinsured, can be transferred to Goldman Sachs. These services include policy and claims processing, accounting and reporting, and other administrative services. This transition period is currently expected to extend into the fourth quarter of 2006. During this period, the Company expects to earn revenues estimated at approximately $18 million related to the continuation of activities with the disposed of business by providing these administrative services, while incurring costs estimated at approximately $25 million to $30 million. These revenues and costs represent approximately 5% and 2%, respectively, of the revenues and costs generated by the disposed of business and therefore do not reflect significant continuing involvement with the business that is being disposed. Upon conclusion of this transition services agreement, there will be no continuing cash flows associated with the business that is being disposed.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment. SFAS No. 123R is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, and supersedes APB 25. Among other items, SFAS No. 123R eliminates the use of APB 25 and the intrinsic value method of accounting, and requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments, based on the grant date fair value of those awards, in the financial statements. The effective date of SFAS No. 123R is the first reporting period beginning after December 31, 2005, which is first quarter 2006 for calendar year companies, although early adoption is allowed. SFAS No. 123R permits companies to adopt its requirements using either a “modified prospective” method, or a “modified retrospective” method. Under the “modified prospective” method, compensation cost is recognized in the financial statements beginning with the effective date, based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for all share-based payments granted after that date, and based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123 for all unvested awards granted prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123R. Under the “modified retrospective” method, the requirements are the same as under the “modified prospective” method, but also permits entities to restate financial statements of previous periods based on pro forma disclosures made in accordance with SFAS No. 123. While SFAS No. 123R permits us to continue to use the Black-Scholes model, the standard also permits the use of a “lattice” model. We have not yet determined which model we will use to measure the fair value of employee stock options upon the adoption of SFAS No. 123R effective January 1, 2006.

We also review historical loss ratios from prior years as provided by each cedent, as well as public reports. We base our estimate of the ultimate losses on both of these factors. Estimated losses can change, based on revised projections supplied by the underlying cedents and actuarial support of the underwriting year forecasts.

Accounting volatility previously arose within the reported IFRS operating profit due to the difference between the movement in the fair value of free standing derivatives within Jackson’s equity hedging programme for annuity business and the movement in the accounting value of Jackson’s liabilities for variable and fixed index annuity guarantees. Typically, under IFRS, reserves are not fair valued, which for the US variable annuities business produces a distorting accounting effect on the IFRS operating profit that is not representative of the true economics of Jackson’s hedging programme. Jackson’s economically based hedges are marked-to-market. As a result, when the markedto -market value of the hedges changes, there are offsetting changes in the economic value of the hedged liabilities which are not reflected in our accounts.

Premiums. Gross written premiums decreased by 18.2% to $1,294.0 million in 2015 compared to $1,582.4 million in 2014, primarily due to declines in Latin American and Asian business, reductions in premiums related to quota share agreements and the negative impact of $86.8 million from the movement of foreign exchange rates. Net written premiums decreased by 9.6% to $1,209.0 million in 2015 compared to $1,336.6 million in 2014. The difference between the change in gross written premiums compared to the change in net written premiums is primarily due to varying utilization of reinsurance related to the quota share contracts. Premiums earned decreased 4.6% to $1,251.1 million in 2015 compared to $1,310.9 million in 2014. The change in premiums earned relative to net written premiums is primarily the result of timing; premiums are earned ratably over the coverage period whereas written premiums are recorded at the initiation of the coverage period.

The Company’s portfolio of fixed maturity securities is comprised of public and private securities. Public securities are those that are registered with the SEC. Private securities are issued under an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933. It is generally recognized that publicly traded securities are more liquid than privately traded securities. The Company classifies all of its investments in fixed maturity securities as “available for sale”. Accordingly, the carrying value of such securities reflects their fair value at the balance sheet date. Fair value for public securities is based on sales prices or bid-and-asked quotations currently available on a securities exchange registered with the Commission or in the over-the-counter market, provided that those prices or quotations for the over-the-counter market are publicly reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations system (“NASDAQ”). Fair value for private securities is generally determined by discounting their prospective cash flows at a discount rate. The discount rate for each issue is the sum of two rates. The first component is the yield to maturity of a U.S. Treasury security with a maturity comparable to the average life of the issue being priced. The second component is a credit spread assigned from a matrix based on credit rating and average life. This matrix is created monthly based on data from two major broker dealers. The quality ratings on the issues being priced are reviewed and updated quarterly.

But he is a helicopter pilot and in charge of this base in Untervaz, and this for already more than a quarter of a century. He takes off day-in day-out, sometimes ten times during his shift, and also often at night. It is very easy at night to overlook obstacles when you are out to find people having stumbled or fallen and to rescue them from the jagged Grisons mountains, out of woods, crevasses, cracked ice or from vehicles which got stuck in ravines after fateful rides on mountainous roads.

On February 6, 2014, the "Baa3" financial strength ratings of our primary insurance subsidiaries, except Conseco Life, were placed on review for upgrade by Moody's. Moody's also affirmed the financial strength rating of "Ba1" of Conseco Life with a stable outlook. A rating under review indicates that a rating is under consideration for a change in the near term. Most rating reviews are completed within 45 to 180 days; however, some reviews are completed more quickly and many require considerably more time. On August 29, 2012, Moody's upgraded the financial strength ratings of our primary insurance subsidiaries, except Conseco Life, to "Baa3" from "Ba1". A "stable" designation means that a rating is not likely to change. Moody’s financial strength ratings range from "Aaa" to "C". These ratings may be supplemented with numbers "1", "2", or "3" to show relative standing within a category. In Moody's view, an insurer rated "Baa" offers adequate financial security, however, certain protective elements may be lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any great length of time. In Moody's view, an insurer rated "Ba" offers questionable financial security and, often, the ability of these companies to meet policyholders' obligations may be very moderate and thereby not well safeguarded in the future. Moody's has twenty-one possible ratings. There are nine ratings above the "Baa3" rating of our primary insurance subsidiaries, other than Conseco Life, and eleven ratings that are below the rating. There are ten ratings above the "Ba1" rating of Conseco Life and ten ratings that are below that rating.

The criteria for identifying a significant increase in credit risk. When determining whether the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly, ING Group considers reasonable and supportable information available to compare the risk of default occurring at reporting date with the risk of a default occurring at initial recognition of the financial asset. Whilst judgement is required in applying each financial asset with a PD rating, there is significant judgement used in determining the stage allocation PD banding thresholds. The process of comparing a financial asset’s PD with the PD banding thresholds determines its ECL stage. Assets in Stage 1 are allocated a 12 month ECL, and those in Stage 2 are allocated a lifetime ECL, and the difference is often significant. As such, the assumptions made both in assigning financial asset PDs and in setting PD

Offsetting the impact of these factors on the financial services group and the information solutions group was the growth in default-related revenues and market share growth at the group’s larger mortgage banking customers. In addition, increases in risk management related sales of data analytics and the relatively consistent revenues generated by subscription-based businesses further offset the impact of the decline in mortgage originations for the information solutions group.
