The Company has entered into interest rate swaps and forward rate agreements, which are accounted for as hedges, as a means to limit the earnings volatility associated with changes in short-term interest rates on its existing and anticipated fiduciary investments with maturities of three months or less. These instruments are contractual agreements between the Company and financial institutions which exchange fixed and floating interest rate payments periodically over the life of the agreements without exchanges of the underlying principal amounts. The notional principal amounts of such agreements are used to measure the interest to be paid or received and do not represent the amount of exposure to credit loss. The Company records the difference between the fixed and floating rates of such agreements as a component of its fiduciary investment income. Interest rate swaps and forward rate agreements which relate to debt securities are marked to market in accordance with SFAS No. 115. At December 31, 1994, an unrealized loss of $2.8 million on interest rate swaps and forward rate agreements which hedge existing and anticipated fiduciary investments with maturities of three months or less was reflected in fiduciary cash and equivalents in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Net Investment Income. Net investment income earned by the Company in 1995 increased 36.3% to $8,102,809, compared to $5,946,034 in 1994. This increase was primarily the result of growth in the Company's investment assets due to continued premium growth during 1995 and proceeds of approximately $22,000,000 from the Company's public offering in July 1995. See "-Liquidity and Capital Resources" below for a discussion of the public offering. The average yield on the Company's investments was 6.5% in 1995 and in 1994.

The excess of estimated liabilities for claims and claim costs over the consideration received with respect to retroactive property and casualty reinsurance contracts that provide for indemnification of insurance risk is established as deferred charges at inception of such contracts. The deferred charges are subsequently amortized using the interest method over the expected claim settlement periods. Changes to the estimated timing or amount of loss payments produce changes in periodic amortization. Such changes in estimates are determined retrospectively and are included in insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses in the period of the change.

Profitability of our long-tailed products is affected by claims experience related to mortality and morbidity, investment returns, premium rate increases, and persistency. We believe that the interest adjusted loss ratios for the individual disability and long-term care lines of business will be relatively flat over the long term, but these product lines may continue to experience quarterly volatility, particularly in the near term for our long-term care product lines as our claim block matures. We also believe the implementation of our long-term care rate increases contributed to higher claim submissions and may continue to do so in the near term. Claim resolution rates, which measure the resolution of claims from recovery, deaths, settlements, and benefit expirations, are very sensitive to operational and external factors and can be volatile. Our claim resolution rate assumption used in determining reserves is our expectation of the resolution rate we will experience over the life of the block of business and will vary from actual experience in any one period. It is possible that variability in any of our reserve assumptions, including, but not limited to, interest rates, mortality, morbidity, premium rate increases, benefit change elections, and persistency, could result in a material impact on the adequacy of our reserves, including adjustments to reserves established under loss recognition.

Even though total revenues increased by $2.3 million, total expenses were reduced by $4.3 million. Employee compensation and benefits expense was reduced $1.0 million, primarily due to lower management and staff salaries and lower commissions paid to producers, and other operating expenses were reduced by $1.0 million, primarily in the areas of office rents, postage, and insurance costs. Additionally, interest expenses of the Wholesale Brokerage Division related to prior acquisitions decreased by $3.8 million, primarily due to the 1.0% annual reduction in the cost of capital interest rate charged against the total purchase price of each of the Division’s prior acquisitions.

Given the length of time that it takes to resolve our claims, many years may elapse before all losses recoverable under a reinsurance arrangement are known. As a part of the process of estimating our loss reserve we also make estimates regarding the amounts recoverable under our reinsurance arrangements. As previously discussed, the premiums ultimately ceded under our excess of loss reinsurance arrangements are subject to the losses ceded under the arrangements. In both 2014 and 2013, we reduced our estimate of expected losses and associated recoveries for prior year ceded losses, as well as our estimate of ceded premiums owed to reinsurers. Changes to estimates of premiums ceded related to prior accident years are fully earned in the period the change in estimates occur.

The realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the tax benefits are deductible or creditable. The Company and Marsh have been profitable globally. However, tax liabilities are determined and assessed on a legal entity and jurisdictional basis. Certain taxing jurisdictions allow or require combined or consolidated tax filings. In the United States, certain groups within the Company, which file on a combined basis, and certain entities within Marsh’s operations, which file on a separate entity basis, incurred losses for the last two years as well as the current year. The Company assessed the realizability of its domestic deferred tax assets, particularly state deferred tax assets of Marsh relating to jurisdictions in which it files separate tax returns, state deferred tax assets of all of the Company domestic operations related to jurisdictions in which the Company files a unitary or combined state tax return, and foreign tax credit carryforwards in the Company’s consolidated U.S. federal tax return. When making its assessment about the realization of its domestic deferred tax assets at December 31, 2010, the Company considered all available evidence, placing particular weight on evidence that could be objectively verified. The evidence considered included (i) the nature, frequency, and severity of current and cumulative financial reporting losses, (ii) actions completed that are designed to reduce capacity and adjust to lower demand in the current economic environment, (iii) profit trends evidenced by recent improvements in the Company’s and Marsh’s operating performance, (iv) the nonrecurring nature of some of the items

Political risks still linger – especially in countries with up­ coming elections – which could trigger fluctuations in the financial markets. However, we consider it unlikely that the European debt crisis will continue to keep the markets on edge on the scale it has done to date, assuming Southern Europe continues with its reforms. With the debt crisis gradually receding, the flight into the “safe havens” of Ger­ man and U.S. government bonds is likely to ease, pushing up yields in these markets moderately. However, both the Federal Reserve Bank and the European Central Bank can be expected to stick to their loose policy stance, above all leaving key rates unchanged. With short­term rates close to zero, there are limited prospects of a sharp rise in yields on longer­term bonds. We expect yields on 10­year German and U.S. government bonds to climb merely into a range of 2.0 – 2.5 %.

CMRM has implemented a historical simulation Value at Risk model for consolidated risk reporting for the trading books that has replaced the Variance Covariance method used previously. ING has chosen to use a phased rollout approach and as of 1 January 2009, implemented the first phase after approval from DNB. In this first phase, calculations for linear portfolios and equity derivative positions have changed from variance-covariance to historical simulation. Most of the other non-linear risks and specific risks are still measured by Monte Carlo, or variance-covariance, methods. In due time, all non-linear and specific risks will be replaced by actual historical simulation results mainly based on full revaluation. The harmonization of VaR methodologies is one of the main targets of CMRM for 2010.

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123R”) that will require compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statements. With limited exceptions, the amount of compensation cost will be measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity instrument issued. Compensation cost will be recognized over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award. SFAS No. 123R replaces Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” the principles that the Company currently employs to account and report its employee stock option awards. SFAS No. 123R is effective for the first interim reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. The Company will implement this standard in the third quarter of 2005. The Company believes that the impact of implementing this standard will result in an annual decrease in net income of approximately $0.01 per diluted share.

In November 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which provides an acquired entity with the option to reflect assets and liabilities using its acquirer's accounting and reporting basis ("pushdown accounting") within its own separate financial statements. Under this new guidance, an acquired entity may elect the option to apply pushdown accounting in the reporting period in which the change-in control event occurs (on a case by case basis if multiple). If the entity elects to apply pushdown accounting, it should disclose information that enables users of the financial statements to evaluate the effect of pushdown accounting. If pushdown accounting is not applied in the initial reporting period, an acquired entity will have the option to elect to apply it in a subsequent reporting period, however, such an election should be considered a change in

Primarily as a result of the failures of several large insurance holding companies during the past few years, increased scrutiny has been placed upon the insurance regulatory framework, and a number of state legislatures have enacted legislation that has altered, and in many cases increased, state authority to regulate insurance companies and their holding company systems. Further, some Congressional leaders have proposed legislation which could result in the federal government's assuming some role in the regulation of the insurance industry. In light of these developments, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (the "NAIC") and state insurance regulators have also become involved in the process of re-examining existing laws and regulations and their application to insurance companies. In particular, this re-examination has focused on insurance company investment and solvency issues and, in some instances, has resulted in new interpretations of existing law, the development of new laws and the implementation of non-statutory guidelines. The NAIC has formed committees and appointed advisory groups to study and formulate regulatory proposals on such diverse issues as the use of surplus debentures, the accounting for reinsurance transactions, uniform investment laws and the adoption of risk-based capital requirements. In addition, in connection with its accreditation of states to conduct periodic examinations, the NAIC has encouraged and persuaded states to adopt model NAIC laws on specific topics, such as holding company regulations, the structure of reinsurance transactions, and the definition of extraordinary dividends. During 1992 and continuing in 1993, in part as a result of these activities, ICH's insurance subsidiaries became subject to substantially more oversight by insurance regulators, and such increased oversight will likely continue in 1994 and future periods.

For the current year we have initiated additional measures that lead us to expect again a positive profit contribution. First, the minimum interest rate was a second time reduced and approaches, with a rate of 2.25 per cent, the average return on riskfree government bonds. Second, we were forced to set a wide-ranging premium rate increase due to the insufficient results in the risk sector. The adjustment of the conversion rate allows to better account for the longer life expectancy.

We evaluate segment profit based on operating and investment results. Segment profit or loss as described in the following sections of the Management’s Discussion and Analysis is pre-tax. Detailed segment information is presented in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

This mechanism is based on plausible scenarios drawn from extremely adverse assumptions on the fulfillment of risk factors leading to the breach of a loss threshold, and allows Natixis to implement a new risk monitoring and steering tool, identify circumstances that may trigger this loss and adapt the appropriate action plans where necessary.

We seek to invest premiums, contract charges and deposits to generate future cash flows that will fund future claims, benefits and expenses, and that will earn stable returns across a wide variety of interest rate and economic scenarios. To achieve this objective and limit interest rate risk, we adhere to a philosophy of managing the duration of assets and related liabilities within predetermined tolerance levels. This philosophy is executed using duration targets for fixed income investments and may also include interest rate swaps, futures, forwards, caps, floors and swaptions to reduce the interest rate risk resulting from mismatches between existing assets and liabilities, and financial futures and other derivative instruments to hedge the interest rate risk of anticipated purchases and sales of investments.

Contract interest expense includes the fluctuations that are the result of the effect upon the embedded derivative for the performance of the underlying equity indices associated with fixed-indexed universal life products. For liability purposes, the embedded option in the Company's policyholder obligations for this feature is bifurcated and reserved for separately. Accordingly, the impact for the embedded derivative component in the equity-index universal life product is reflected in contract interest expense for approximately the same amounts as in net investment income for each respective period.

Reinsurance - As part of Atlas’ insurance risk management policies, portions of its insurance risk is ceded to reinsurers. Reinsurance premiums and claims expenses are accounted for on a basis consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts. Premiums and claims ceded to other companies have been reported as a reduction of premium revenue and claims incurred expense. Commissions paid to Atlas by reinsurers on business ceded have been accounted for as a reduction of the related policy acquisition costs. Reinsurance receivables are recorded for that portion of paid and unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses that are ceded to other companies. Prepaid reinsurance premiums are recorded for unearned premiums that have been ceded to other companies.

For the reinsurance business assumed, the accrual of deferred acquisition costs is partially accounted for as part of the unearned premium reserve calculation. For consistency purposes, the capitalised part of the deferred acquisition cost (CHF 164 million in 1994 compared with CHF 185 million in 1993) is offset against the unearned premium reserve. The change in the deferred acquisition cost of CHF -7 million (1993: CHF 16 million) is offset against the change in the unearned premium reserve. Moreover, capitalised deferred acquisition cost of CHF 157 million (1993: CHF 170 million) is offset against provisions for life, health and disability reinsurance.The change in the deferred acquisition cost of CHF-5 million (1993: CHF -6 million) is offset against the change in the provisions for life, health and dis­ ability.

During 2008, ING reclassified the Mid-Corporate portfolio from Wholesale Banking to Retail Banking, which proportionally decreased the Retail Banking concentration in Private Individuals and created a wider distribution across other economic sectors. This was partially offset by the purchase of EUR 4.5 billion in residential mortgages from Nationale Nederlanden Hypotheek Bedrijf (NNHB, residential mortgages).
