The Group is typically exposed only once the aggregate credit losses in the portfolio (net of any recovery amount) exceed this retained first loss position. Each portfolio credit default swap can be tranched into layers of increasing credit quality, from “equity” (i.e. first loss position) to “Super-Senior” (i.e. with better than “AAA” quality). The Group has over 90% of its notional exposure assigned to the “Super-Senior” category.

Gross written premiums increased by 24.3% to $4,437.5 million in 2013 compared to $3,569.4 million in 2012, reflecting a $676.5 million, or 26.8%, increase in our reinsurance business and a $191.6 million, or 18.3%, increase in our insurance business. The increase in reinsurance premiums was mainly due to the impact of a Florida quota share reinsurance contract as well as new business, increased participations on existing business, and higher original rates on subject business. Excluding the year over year impact of the large Florida quota share reinsurance contract, gross written premiums increased 16.9% and reinsurance premiums increased 16.4%, compared to the prior year. The increase in insurance premiums was primarily due to the growth in California workers’ compensation, crop and non-standard auto business. Net written premiums increased by 25.2% to $2,117.4 million in 2013 compared to $1,691.6 million in 2012, which is consistent with the increase in gross written premiums. Premiums earned increased by 13.1% to $2,006.4 million in 2013, compared to $1,773.9 million in 2012. Unlike written premiums, premiums earned were minimally impacted by the Florida quota share reinsurance contract. The change in premiums earned was comparable to net written premiums, excluding the impact of the Florida quota share reinsurance contract.

The National Programs Division’s total revenues in 2011 decreased $11.6 million, or 6.6% to $164.4 million from 2010. Profit-sharing contingent commissions and GSCs in 2011 decreased $8.0 million from 2010, of which $2.9 million related to our condominium program at Florida Intracoastal Underwriters, Limited Company (“FIU”), and $4.4 million related to Proctor. The decrease in FIU’s profit-sharing contingent commissions in 2011 was principally attributable to fact that in 2010, FIU received a higher amount of profit-sharing contingent commissions because they included a delayed 2009 payment. Proctor’s decreased profit-sharing contingent commissions were the direct result of the lower premiums generated by Proctor in 2010. Of the $3.4 million net decrease in core commissions and fees for National Programs: (i) an increase of approximately $1.1 million related to the core commissions and fees revenue from acquisitions that had no comparable revenues in the same period of 2010, and (ii) a net decrease of $4.5 million was primarily related to net lost business. Therefore, the National Programs Division’s negative growth rate for core organic commissions and fees revenue was (3.0)% for 2011. Of the $4.5 million of net lost business, $4.4 million related to Proctor, and was primarily the result of its loss of a large customer, $1.5 million related to our CalSurance® operations and $1.1 million related to FIU, all of which was partially offset by a $1.3 million increase related to our public entity business and a $1.2 million net aggregate increase attributable to the other programs in the Division.

We perform internal loss reserve studies for all product lines at least once a year; the timing of such studies varies throughout the year. Additionally, each quarter for most product lines, we review the emergence of actual losses relative to expectations. If warranted from findings in loss emergence tests, we will accelerate the timing of our product line reserve studies. Finally, loss reserve studies are performed annually by external third-parties and the findings are used to test the reasonability of our internal findings.

In property classes, there can be additional uncertainty in loss estimation related to large catastrophe events. With wind events, such as hurricanes, the damage assessment process may take more than a year. The cost of rebuilding may increase due to supply shortages for construction materials and labor. In the case of earthquakes, the damage assessment process may take several years to discover structural weaknesses not initially detected in buildings. The uncertainty inherent in loss estimation is particularly pronounced for casualty coverages, such as umbrella liability, general and product liability, professional liability and automobile liability, where information, such as required medical treatment and costs for bodily injury claims, emerges over time. In the overall loss estimation process, provisions for economic inflation and changes in the social and legal environment are considered.

In January 2009, we entered into forward starting pay fixed swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $800.0. The objective of these hedges was to eliminate the variability of cash flows in the interest payments on the debt securities issued in February 2009. These swaps were terminated in February 2009, and we paid a net $3.2, the net fair value at the time of termination. In addition, we recorded a loss of $2.1, net of tax, in other comprehensive income. Following the February 5, 2009 issuance of debt securities, the unamortized fair value of the forward starting pay fixed swaps included in accumulated other comprehensive income began amortizing into earnings, as an increase to interest expense. The hedged debt securities have maturity dates ranging from 2014 to 2036.

The Company utilizes one nationally recognized pricing service to estimate the majority of its available-for-sale investment portfolio’s fair value. The Company obtains one price per security and the processes and control procedures employed by the Company are designed to ensure the value is accurately recorded on an unadjusted basis. Through discussions with the pricing service, the Company gains an understanding of the methodologies used to price the different types of securities, that the data and the valuation methods utilized are appropriate and consistently applied, and that the assumptions are reasonable and representative of fair value. To validate the reasonableness of the valuations obtained from the pricing service, the Company compares to other fair value pricing information gathered from other independent pricing sources. At December 31, 2011, the Company did not adjust any of the prices received from the pricing service.

The results of the annual goodwill impairment test are as follows: Segment Life The goodwill impairment test was conducted at the segment Life level as CGU. The result of the goodwill impairment test, using the multiples methodology, shows an excess recoverable value over the book value. As a result, a second step was not necessary and there is no significant exposure of goodwill impairment for sensitivities in the underlying assumptions. No goodwill impairment was recognised.

The Company presents both basic and diluted net income per share (“EPS”) amounts. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income by weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year (including 7,767,874 common shares held in a grantor trust). The common shares held in the grantor trust are for delivery upon settlement of vested but mandatorily deferred restricted stock units ("RSUs"). Shares held by the grantor trust do not affect diluted shares outstanding since the shares deliverable under vested RSUs were already included in diluted shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is based upon the weighted average number of basic and common equivalent shares outstanding during the year and is calculated using the treasury stock method for stock incentive plans. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation in periods in which they have an anti-dilutive effect.

The economic contraction has disproportionately impacted net earned premiums in both Nevada and Florida. Both states experienced double digit unemployment and a decline in tourism. Classes of small businesses that were particularly affected include contractors and restaurants. Declining payrolls due to unemployment and reduced work hours, closures of small businesses and our continued underwriting discipline all contributed to lower premiums in these states.

Revenues from our Gibraltar Life and Other operations increased $6,546 million including a favorable impact of $331 million from currency fluctuations. Excluding currency fluctuations, revenues increased $6,215 million. Premiums and policy charges and fee income increased $4,933 million, of which $2,920 million was associated with the acquired Star and Edison Businesses. Excluding Star and Edison, the increase in premiums and policy charges and fee income was primarily driven by growth within the bank distribution channel including $1,062 million higher sales of single premium reduced death benefit whole life policies. Net investment income increased $1,028 million primarily reflecting income on the acquired assets from Star and Edison and to a lesser extent, continued growth of our fixed annuity products. Also contributing to the increase in revenues is higher other income, primarily reflecting the impact of the partial sales of our indirect investment in China Pacific Group as discussed above.

Change in Deferred Acquisition Costs, Net. Deferred acquisition costs include costs and expenses that vary with and are primarily related to the acquisition of insurance and investment contracts. These costs and expenses include commissions, printing, underwriting, policy issuance costs, and the bonus feature of certain variable annuity products. Under U.S. GAAP, these costs are deferred and recognized, over time, in relation to either the premiums or gross profits from the underlying contracts. The change in net deferred acquisition costs changed $112.4 million, or 47.3%, to $(125.3) million in 2001 from $(237.7) million in 2000. This decrease is primarily a result of lower variable annuity sales.

The Company's insurance subsidiaries are subject to various regulatory restrictions that limit the maximum amount of dividends available to be paid to their parent without prior approval of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Commissioner of Insurance (the "Commissioner"). Massachusetts' statute limits the dividends an insurer may pay in any twelve month period, without the prior permission of the Commissioner, to the greater of (i) 10% of the insurer's surplus as of the preceding December 31 or (ii) the insurer's net income for the twelve-month period ending the preceding December 31, in each case determined in accordance with statutory accounting practices. The Company's insurance company subsidiaries may not declare an "extraordinary dividend" (defined as any dividend or distribution that, together with other distributions made within the preceding twelve months, exceeds the limits established by Massachusetts' statute) until thirty days after the Commissioner has received notice of the intended dividend and has not objected. As historically administered by the Commissioner, this provision requires the Commissioner's prior approval of an extraordinary dividend. Under Massachusetts law an insurer may pay cash dividends only from its unassigned funds, also known as earned surplus, and the insurer's remaining surplus must be both reasonable in relation to its outstanding liabilities and adequate to its financial needs. At year-end 2003, the statutory surplus of Safety Insurance was $258,551, and its net income for 2003 was $27,007. A maximum of $27,007 will be available by the end of 2004 for such dividends without prior approval of the Commissioner.

Almost the end of the report I’m proud to say that it was another very good year for return on capital. This is the benefit of our model, where we have reinsurers put up the capital pro-rata for their share of the underwriting, but we get profit commissions from them when we make profits and we keep the revenue from everything else we do, like Confused, for ourselves. Although we do sacrifice some profit to get this reinsurance support it gives us a layer of protection against losses and serves to make us capital efficient. A good measure of this is our return on capital, which in 2007 was 58% (2006: 57%). Another important indicator is our return on income - 57% in 2007, up from 53% in 2006.

The Group establishes reserves for reported losses and LAE, as well as for incurred but not yet reported (IBNR) losses and LAE. Loss reserve estimates are based on known facts and on interpretation of circumstances including our experience with similar cases and historical claims payment trends. The Group also considers the development of loss payment trends, levels of unpaid claims, judicial decisions and economic conditions.

In connection with the cancellation of a joint venture agreement in 1996, the Company had agreed to pay $500,000 in cash to its former joint venture partner at the time the planned Merger with LaSalle was consummated. As a result of the termination of the Merger Agreement, as discussed in Note 5, the $500,000 payment will not be made. The Agreement with the joint venture partner provided that in the event the Merger with LaSalle was not completed, any payment to the joint venture partner would be determined under a separate calculation as follows: (a) if the Company entered into a transaction similar to the LaSalle transaction in which it was acquired by or merged with another entity, the parties agreed to negotiate a mutually acceptable termination price; (b) if the Company entered into a transaction whereby, as part of a plan to terminate its insurance operations and sell all of its assets, it sold its credit insurance marketing organization to an unrelated third party, the Company agreed to pay its former partner a pro rata share of the proceeds, if any, it receives from the sale of the marketing organization. The Company agreed to make such payments to the joint venture partner as consideration for terminating the venture, which will allow the purchaser of the Company s credit insurance business to retain the profits or losses on credit insurance premiums previously reinsured to the partner. The transaction with LOTS meets the criteria described in (b) above, and the Company therefore will pay approximately 19% of the gross fee revenues received from LOTS to the former partner.

This questionnaire was about the composition of the Board, its organization, its functioning and the functioning and composition of its Committees. The Chairman of the Board has not participated in this assessment. All of the directors completed this questionnaire. Mrs. Fields Wicker-Miurin presented her report during the Board of Directors held on 4 March 2015. Overall, the directors expressed their satisfaction on the organization, functioning and composition of the Board and its Committees. 75 % of the directors said that the governance of the SCOR Group was better than in the other boards on which they sat. They found the consideration of proposals for changes they have made in the 2013 assessment. They especially welcomed the establishment of a Seminar of the Strategic Committee and the creation of a Crisis Management Committee and the regular convening of the Non-executive Directors Sessions. The directors also mentioned the main points of improvement raised by the directors including to have more directors of SCOR SE in the main Group subsidiaries and more time during the seminar of the Strategic Committee to discuss strategic issues for the Company.

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the deferred tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Benefits from tax positions are recognized in the consolidated financial statements only when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information. Management’s estimates of future operating results and tax planning strategies, assessment of the probability of future tax benefits realization, and the determination of the likelihood of tax positions being sustained upon exam, are key judgments which management makes which impact the accounting for income taxes and necessary valuation allowances.

Medical Premiums from our HMO and managed indemnity insurance subsidiaries increased $81.2 million or 12.7%. The $81.2 million increase in premium revenue reflects a 7.9% increase in Medicare member months (the number of months individuals are enrolled in a plan) and a 10.9% increase in commercial member months. The growth in Medicare member months contributes significantly to the increase in premium revenues as the Medicare per member premium rates are over three times higher than the average commercial premium rate. HMO premium rates for commercial groups increased approximately 6.6%, managed indemnity rates increased approximately 14.6% and Medicare rates increased approximately 4.0%. Over 97% of our Las Vegas, Nevada Medicare members are enrolled in the Social HMO Medicare program. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, formerly known as the Health Care Financing Administration, or HCFA, may consider adjusting the reimbursement factor or changing the program for the Social HMO members in the future. If the reimbursement for these members decreases significantly and related benefit changes are not made timely, there could be a material adverse effect on our business. Continued medical premium revenue growth is principally dependent upon continued enrollment in our products and upon competitive and regulatory factors.

The impact of recording the net reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses at the lowest value from the sensitivity analysis above would be to reduce losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred by $132.8 million, increase after-tax net income by $123.2 million, increase shareholders’ equity by $123.2 million, and increase tangible equity by $123.2 million, in each case at or for the year ended December 31, 2018. Such changes in the net reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses would not have an immediate impact on our liquidity, but would affect cash flow and investment income in future periods as the incremental or reduced amount of losses are paid and investment assets adjusted to reflect the level of paid claims.

Costs of acquiring new business, which vary with and are primarily related to the production of new business, have been deferred to the extent that such costs are deemed recoverable from future premiums or gross profits. DAC amounts reflect the Company’s expectations about the future experience of the business in force and include commissions and allowances as well as certain costs of policy issuance and underwriting. Some of the factors that can affect the carrying value of DAC include mortality assumptions, interest spreads and policy lapse rates. For traditional life and related coverages, the Company’s policy is to perform tests, at least annually, to determine that DAC remains recoverable at all times, including at issue. As part of the testing the cumulative amortization is re-estimated and, if necessary, adjusted by a cumulative charge to current operations. For its asset-intensive business, the Company updates the estimated gross profits with actual gross profits each reporting period, resulting in an increase or decrease to DAC to reflect the difference in the actual gross profits versus the previously estimated gross profits. As a result of recoverability testing for new business issues, a charge of approximately $7.7 million to current operations was recorded for in the Asset Intensive sub-segment in 2009 with projected revenue deemed insufficient to cover future benefits and expenses.
