Equity Price Risk in Banking Books Equity price risk arises from the possibility that equity security prices will fluctuate, affecting the value of equity securities and other instruments whose price reacts similarly to a particular security, a defined basket of securities, or a securities index. ING Bank maintains a strategic portfolio with substantial equity exposure in its banking books. This equity exposure mainly consists of the investments in associates of EUR 1,813 million (2007: EUR 2,010 million) and equity securities held in the Available-for-Sale portfolio of EUR 1,863 million (2007: EUR 3,627 million). The value of equity securities held in the Available-for-Sale portfolio is directly linked to equity security prices with increases/decreases being recognised (except in the case of impairment) in the revaluation reserve. During the year ended 31 December 2008 the revaluation reserve relating to equity securities held in the Available-for-Sale portfolio fluctuated between a month-end low amount of EUR 776 million (2007: EUR 518 million) and a high amount of EUR 1,969 million (2007: EUR 2,580 million). Investments in associates are measured in accordance with the equity method of accounting and the balance sheet value is therefore not directly linked to equity security prices.

The outcome of a litigation or regulatory matter and the amount or range of potential loss is difficult to forecast and estimating potential losses requires significant management judgment. It is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome or to provide reasonably possible losses or ranges of losses for all pending regulatory matters and litigation. While it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain cases could have a material adverse effect upon the Company's financial position, based on information currently known, management believes that the outcome of pending litigation and regulatory matters is not likely to have such an effect. However, given the large and indeterminate amounts sought and the inherent unpredictability of such matters, it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain of the Company's litigation or regulatory matters could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect upon the Company's results of operations or cash flows in a particular quarterly or annual period.

The standard will take effect for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance must be applied using a full or modified retrospective approach. We adopted this ASU on January 1, 2019, and have determined that it has no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

During 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission made known interpretative guidance concerning SFAS 133. They have concluded that all income and expenses related to a nonhedged derivative must be recorded in the same line item that the adjustment to fair value is recorded. This interpretation also requires prior periods to be reclassified accordingly for comparability. In order to comply with this interpretation, Torchmark no longer reduces its interest expense on the Statement of Operations for the reduction in interest cost for swapping its fixed rate for a variable rate on nonhedged derivatives. Instead, this benefit is reported as a component of realized investment gains (losses), the same line where the required fair value adjustment for nonhedged derivatives is reported. Torchmark has also reported the interest cost benefit on hedged derivatives as a component of realized gains (losses), in order to report these items on a consistent basis.

The loss and settlement expense ratio for the reinsurance segment increased to 68.1 percent in 2016 from 64.1 percent in 2015. The loss and settlement expense ratio for 2015 reflected an unusually low amount of reported large losses (losses greater than $100,000) and two large reductions in reported reserves for prior accident year events. A decline in catastrophe and storm losses helped limit the increase in the reinsurance segment's loss and settlement expense ratio. The largest catastrophe and storm loss incurred in 2016 was a $3.5 million loss stemming from the Alberta, Canada wildfire, while the largest loss incurred in 2015 was $4.5 million ($4.1 million net of reinsurance recovery under the inter-company reinsurance program with Employers Mutual) from the Tianjin, China explosion. No recoveries were made under the revised inter-company reinsurance program with Employers Mutual during 2016. The decline in the total cost of the revised inter-company reinsurance program with Employers Mutual produced a 1.4 percentage point decline in the loss and settlement expense ratio for 2016. This reduction was reflected in the catastrophe and storm loss ratio, which declined to 9.3 percentage points in 2016 from 12.0 percentage points in 2015. The most recent 10-year average for catastrophe and storm losses was 13.0 percentage points.

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN No. 46"). In December 2003, the FASB issued a revised version of FIN 46 ("FIN 46R"), which incorporated a number of modifications and changes made to the original version. FIN 46R replaces the previously issued FIN No. 46 and, subject to certain special provisions, is effective no later than the first reporting period that ends after December 15, 2003 for entities considered to be special-purpose entities and no later than the end of the first reporting period that ends after March 15, 2004 for all other VIEs. Early adoption was permitted. The Company adopted FIN No. 46 and FIN 46R in the fourth quarter of 2003. Implementation of FIN No. 46 and FIN 46R resulted in the consolidation of two VIEs and increased total consolidated assets by $67.8 million at December 31, 2003. As required by FIN No. 46 and FIN 46R, the difference between the carrying amount of the assets and the fair value of the VIEs resulted in a cumulative effect of change in accounting principles, net of tax, of $7.5 million as of the date of adoption.

Net interest income for the segment fell by 19 per cent year-on-year to € 229 million due in part to the maturity and sale of parts of the high-quality securities portfolio, which consists exclusively of top-rated securities. Net income thereof amounted to € 81 million in the year under review, down from € 97 million in the previous year. Moreover, the RBI AG investment portfolio was structured even more conservatively in the light of the European sovereign debt crisis in 2011. Net interest income decreased as a result of the decline in total business volume of highly liquid bonds from fi nancial institutions, the further reduction in various risk positions and a selective transaction selection. In addition, the restriction on trading limits in market risks, fl attening of the yield curve, and an ECB liquidity injection that reduced credit spreads on high-quality securities also contributed to the decline in net interest income.

The difference between the Company's effective tax rate and the current federal tax rate is due primarily to a $4.7 million tax benefit recorded as a result of a reduction of the deferred tax valuation allowance and the Company's portfolio of tax preferred investments. These benefits are more significant as a result of the charges related to the Physicians Corporation of America acquisition and start-up costs associated with the TRICARE contract.

Our ERRM governance is supported with an analytic framework to manage significant insurance, investment, financial, strategic, and operational risk exposures and optimize returns on risk-adjusted capital. Management and the ERRC use enterprise stochastic modeling, risk expertise and judgment to determine an appropriate level of targeted enterprise economic capital to hold considering a broad range of risk objectives and external constraints. These include limiting risks of financial stress, insolvency, likelihood of capital stress and volatility, maintaining stakeholder value and financial strength ratings and satisfying regulatory and rating agency risk-based capital requirements. We generally assess solvency on a statutory accounting basis, but also consider GAAP volatility. Enterprise economic capital approximates a combination of statutory surplus and deployable invested assets at the parent holding company level.

Group business standards and practices are governed by Group policies and underlying guidelines established in a common format, by the three divisions (SCOR Global P&C, SCOR Global Life, SCOR Global Investments) and the central functions such as Group Internal Audit and the functions managed by the Group Chief Financial Officer, the Group Chief Operating Officer and the Group Chief Risk Officer respectively. Group policies are approved by the Group Executive Committee and for certain topics are submitted regularly to the relevant committees of the Board and, ultimately, to the Board of Directors of the Company. These Group policies are not intended to enumerate all the rules governing SCOR’s activities in the different countries in which the Group operates, but rather to establish certain principles intended to ensure that SCOR Group companies and employees share a common understanding of the Group’s standards and that they work in compliance with these standards. When approved, these documents are all made available to employees on the SCOR intranet on a dedicated page.

The fair values of derivative assets and liabilities include adjustments for market liquidity, counterparty credit quality, and other deal specific factors, where appropriate. The fair values of derivative assets and liabilities traded in the over-the-counter market are determined using quantitative models that require the use of multiple market inputs including interest rates, prices, and indices to generate continuous yield or pricing curves and volatility factors. The predominance of market inputs are actively quoted and can be validated through external sources. Estimation risk is greater for derivative financial instruments that are either option-based or have longer maturity dates where observable market inputs are less readily available or are unobservable, in which case quantitative based extrapolations of rate, price, or index scenarios are used in determining fair values. As of December 31, 2013, the Level 3 fair values of

Real estate operations resulted in a loss after taxes of $2 million in both 1994 and 1993 and income of $10 million in 1992. Results continue to be adversely affected by progressively higher portions of interest being charged directly to expense rather than being capitalized and by provisions for possible uncollectible receivables related to mortgages. In addition, 1994 results were adversely affected by higher interest rates. Results in 1993 were adversely affected by a $3 million tax charge related to the federal corporate tax rate increase. Revenues were $205 million in 1994 compared with $161 million in 1993 and $150 million in 1992. Revenue growth in 1994 was primarily due to higher levels of rental income on owned properties.

During the year, liabilities decreased by $784 million from $21.226 billion to $20.442 billion. Separate account liabilities decreased $1.310 billion as a result of net investment losses of $1.388 billion, expense disbursements and other changes of $244 million offset by net sales of $322 million. Current year net sales of $322 million ($1.540 billion of contributions less $1.218 billion of surrenders and withdrawals) are $918 million lower than the same period prior year sales of $1.240 billion ($2.376 billion of contributions less $1.136 billion of surrenders and withdrawals). The primary reason for the decrease is declines in Discovery Select annuity product ("Discovery Select") exchange sales resulting from the discontinuation of the Exchange Program on May 1, 2000. The Exchange Program had provided the contract holders of older Prudential Insurance or Pruco Life annuity products an opportunity to convert to the Discovery Select product. Annuity product net sales declined $1.118 billion while variable life insurance sales grew $200 million from the prior year.

For the year ended December 31, 2000, time-based options to purchase 17,865,957 of management shares were outstanding. The exercise price of these options was established based on management's estimate of the fair value of these options on the measurement dates. In addition, the Predecessor's shares were not publicly traded during this period and, in the opinion of management, the average market value was not in excess of the exercise price. Accordingly, such options had no dilutive nor antidilutive effect on net income per share for the year ended December 31, 2000.
