The Company's insurance subsidiary is domiciled in Ohio and prepares its statutory-based financial statements in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Ohio insurance department. These principles differ significantly from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. "Prescribed" statutory accounting practices include state laws, regulations, and general administrative rules, as well as a variety of publications of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). "Permitted" statutory accounting practices encompass all accounting practices that are not prescribed; such practices may differ from state to state, from company to company within a state, and may change in the future. UG's total statutory shareholders' equity was $ 21,860,401 and $ 13,008,198 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Company's life insurance subsidiary reported a statutory operating income (loss) before taxes (exclusive of intercompany dividends) of approximately $ (762,000), $ (1,461,000) and $ 2,700,000 for 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Wesco’s shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2003 was $2.1 billion ($291.89 per share), up from $2.0 billion ($275.03 per share) at December 31, 2002. Shareholders’ equity included $426.5 million at December 31, 2003, and $374.6 million at December 31, 2002, representing appreciation in market value of investments, which is credited directly to shareholders’ equity, net of taxes, without being reflected in earnings. Because unrealized appreciation is recorded based upon market quotations, gains or losses ultimately realized upon sale of investments could differ substantially from recorded unrealized appreciation. Net unrealized appreciation constituted approximately 21% of shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2003 and 19% at December 31, 2002. (See Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, as well as Notes 1 and 3 to Wesco’s accompanying consolidated financial statements, for additional information on investments.)

The Company’s net reserve for unpaid losses and loss expenses at December 31, 2005 and 2004, included $96.6 million and $92.4 million, respectively, that represents estimates of its net ultimate liability for asbestos and environmental claims. The increase in the net reserve for unpaid losses and loss expenses in 2005 is attributable to change in currency exchange rates offset by settlement of claims and was not the result of a change in the Company’s view of its ultimate liability for this business. The gross liability for such claims at December 31, 2005 and 2004, was $108.0 million and $104.6 million, respectively, of which $98.0 million and $94.7 million, respectively, relate to U.S. casualty exposures arising from business written by PartnerRe SA and PartnerRe U.S. Ultimate values for such claims cannot be estimated using traditional reserving techniques and there are significant uncertainties in estimating the amount of the Company’s potential losses for these claims. In view of the changes in the legal and tort environment that affect the development of such claims, the uncertainties inherent in valuing asbestos and environmental claims are not likely to be resolved in the near future. There can be no assurance that the reserves established by the Company will not be adversely affected by development of other latent exposures, and further, there can be no assurance that the reserves established by the Company will be adequate. The Company does, however, actively evaluate potential exposure to asbestos and environmental claims and establishes additional reserves as appropriate. The Company believes that it has made a reasonable provision for these exposures and is unaware of any specific issues that would materially affect its loss and loss expense estimates.

These maturities were accounted for as contingent gains in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies and the Company recognized gains only when all contingencies were resolved. Upon the execution of the Termination Agreement, the LPIC Provider released any and all subrogation claims and related salvage rights in the life insurance policies that had been characterized as “Life Settlements with Subrogation rights, net.” The Company did not reports any gains on maturities, net of subrogation in 2013 and, as a result of the Termination Agreement, the Company will no longer have any gains on maturities of life settlements with subrogation rights, net.

Statutory capital and surplus and risk-based capital (“RBC”) ratios. Regulated life insurance entities are subject to risk-based capital requirements which are a function of these entities’ statutory capital and surplus and risk-based capital requirements. The impact of economic and market environment has both reduced statutory capital and increased risk-based capital requirements in a variety of ways. For instance, realized losses reduce available capital and surplus, equity market declines increase the amount of statutory reserves that insurers are required to hold for variable annuity guarantees while increasing risk-based capital requirements and credit downgrades of securities increase risk-based capital requirements. We have recently taken capital management actions to improve our capitalization and RBC ratio including, but not limited to, the sale of certain securities in our portfolio and entry into reinsurance arrangements. We may take similar actions in the future. Further, we have been approved to become a savings and loan holding company and have submitted an application to participate in the CPP under the TARP program and are currently considering whether to participate. Participation in the CPP would require that we complete the acquisition of a savings and loan company, submit to regulation by the Office of Thrift Supervision and adopt certain restrictions on our executive compensation practices.

Non-refundable commitment fees are considered insurance premiums and are initially recorded under unearned premium revenue in the consolidated balance sheets when received. Once the related financial guarantee insurance policy is issued, the commitment fees are recognized as premium written and earned using the constant rate method. If the commitment agreement expires before the related financial guarantee is issued, the non-refundable commitment fee is immediately recognized as premium written and earned at that time.

Catastrophe losses in 2008 were $3.34 billion and include estimates of losses for Hurricanes Ike and Gustav among other events. This compares to catastrophe losses in 2007 of $1.41 billion. Hurricane Ike is expected to be among the top three costliest U.S. hurricanes along with Hurricane Katrina of 2005 and Hurricane Andrew of 1992. Losses from Hurricane Ike were incurred in multiple states. Hurricane Ike losses in Texas were estimated to be $666 million, net of reinsurance, and losses in all other states, which primarily included losses in Ohio and Kentucky, were estimated to be $300 million. Hurricane Gustav is also expected to be among the top 10 costliest U.S. hurricanes. Catastrophe loss estimates include losses for approximately 173 thousand and 81 thousand claims for Hurricanes Ike and Gustav, respectively, on our auto, homeowners, commercial and other insurance products. These estimated claim counts include 129 thousand and 66 thousand for Hurricanes Ike and Gustav, respectively, that have been reported as of January 16, 2009.

Catastrophic events, whether natural or man-made, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, windstorms, hailstorms, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, freezes, floods, explosions, wildfires, pandemic diseases, terrorist attacks, cyber events, systemic cyber failures, military actions, and power grid and other core infrastructure (e.g., telephony or Internet infrastructures) failures could result in substantial volatility in or adversely aff ect our operations, results, financial condition, cash flows or solvency position, including as a result of claims occurring at higher levels or materially earlier than anticipated; losses resulting from disruptions in our operations or failures of our counterparties to perform; or declines in value of our investment portfolio. We monitor the evolution of these risks closely and generally seek to manage our exposure to them through individual risk selection, modelling and monitoring overall exposures and risk accumulation, purchase of third-party reinsurance, risk transfer transactions to capital markets and use of available data in estimating potential catastrophic risks. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to adequately anticipate such evolution, as a single catastrophic event, an accumulation of losses resulting from several events or an unusual frequency of smaller losses in a particular period may affect multiple geographic areas and lines of business, and the frequency or severity of catastrophic events could exceed our estimates. Accounting principles and rules preventing (re)insurers to reserve for catastrophic events until they occur may also augment the impact of such events.

The Risk function reviewed and challenged these findings and the Audit function provided an independent assessment of the overall effectiveness of the governance and risk and control framework of the Group. The Group then combined the overall findings into a Group-level assessment, which the CEO approved.

In general, joint arrangements are contractual agreements whereby the Group undertakes with other parties an economic activity that is subject to joint control. Investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures depending on the contractual rights and obligations each investor has rather than the legal structure of the joint arrangement. A joint venture is a type of joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint control exists when it is contractually agreed to share control of an economic activity, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. Generali Group has assessed the nature of its current joint arrangements and determined them to be joint ventures and none are joint operations. The considerations made in determining significant influence or joint control are similar to those necessary to determine control over subsidiaries. Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method and they are initially recognized at cost, which includes goodwill arising on acquisition. Goodwill is not separately tested for impairment. Negative goodwill is recognized in the income statement on the acquisition date. The carrying amount of the investment is subsequently adjusted to recognize changes in the Group’s share of the net assets of the associate or joint venture since the acquisition date. The income statement reflects the Group’s share of the results of operations of the associate or joint venture. Any change in OCI of those investees is presented as part of the Group’s OCI. Dividends receivable from associates are recognized as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment. At each reporting date, after application of the equity method the Group determines whether there is objective evidence that the investment in the associate or joint venture is impaired. If there is such evidence, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate or joint venture and its carrying value, then recognizes the loss as share of losses of an associate in the income statement. Where the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the group does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate or joint venture.

The gross underwriting expense ratio of 32.6% for the year ended December 31, 2009 decreased from the gross expense ratio of 34.4%, as the increase in gross earned premiums outpaced the growth in underwriting expenses. The net expense ratio in 2009 was 40.6% as compared to 39.6% in 2008, and the increase in the net expense ratio is due to lower ceding commission revenues from the reduced quota share business in 2009.

The increase in our P&C operating segment was primarily driven by increases in our Excess Casualty, Other P&C, Auto and Environmental divisions, partially offset by a decrease in our Primary Casualty division. The increase in our Excess Casualty division was primarily attributable to new business resulting from increases in construction project coverage. The increase in our Other P&C division was driven by new business production and an increase in rates in our Property product, as well as the transfer of the management of our Custom Bonds product from the Marine operating segment to our Surety product in our Other P&C division. The increase in our Auto division was due to new business production and strong rates on renewals. The increase in our Environmental division was attributable to new business with increased opportunities in the market. The decrease in our Primary Casualty division was driven by the nonrenewal of underperforming accounts.

It was designed to capture the widely varying elements of risks undertaken by writers of different lines of insurance business having differing risk characteristics, as well as writers of similar lines where differences in risk may be related to corporate structure, investment policies, reinsurance arrangements, and a number of other factors.

No commentary on the last year of the millenium (although it really wasn't) would be complete without some mention of the bug that didn't bite, Y2K. I suppose we will never know how much this foolishness cost. The expenses incurred can be divided into two categories. The necessary expenses, those incurred to rewrite computer programs and test the systems (this work had largely been completed prior to 1999) and the ridiculous ones incurred to produce paper to fill other people's files. With the preparation of emergency plans, making of filings and conducting of audits, by year-end this part of the fiasco took on the appearance of a Chinese fire drill. Then "poof," nothing happened! Cassandra struck out again. Oh well, our Board Meetings should be a lot shorter now that we don't have Y2K to talk about.

During the third quarter of 2018, we completed our annual review of policy reserve adequacy, which incorporated our most recent experience and included a review of all assumptions. Based on our analysis, during the third quarter of 2018, we updated our reserve assumptions and determined that our policy and claim reserves should be increased by $750.8 million of which, approximately $236 million was related to our liability for unpaid claims and claims adjustment expenses, which can be primarily attributed to prior year incurred claims, thereby impacting the results shown in the preceding chart.
