In determining ultimate losses and LAE, the cost to indemnify claimants, provide needed legal defense and other services for insureds and administer the investigation and adjustment of claims are considered. These claim costs are influenced by many factors that change over time, such as expanded coverage definitions as a result of new court decisions, inflation in costs to repair or replace damaged property, inflation in the cost of medical services and legislated changes in statutory benefits, as well as by the particular, unique facts that pertain to each claim. As a result, the rate at which claims arose in the past and the costs to settle them may not always be representative of what will occur in the future. The factors influencing changes in claim costs are often difficult to isolate or quantify and developments in paid and incurred losses from historical trends are frequently subject to multiple and conflicting interpretations. Changes in coverage terms or claims handling practices may also cause future experience and/or development patterns to vary from the past. A key objective of actuaries in developing estimates of ultimate losses and LAE, and resulting IBNR reserves, is to identify aberrations and systemic changes occurring within historical experience and accurately adjust for them so that the future can be projected reliably. Because of the factors previously discussed, this process requires the substantial use of informed judgment and is inherently uncertain.

In March 2006, the California DOI issued an Amended Notice of Non-Compliance to a Notice of Non-Compliance originally issued in February 2004 (as amended, “2004 NNC”) alleging that the Company charged rates in violation of the California Insurance Code, willfully permitted its agents to charge broker fees in violation of California law, and willfully misrepresented the actual price insurance consumers could expect to pay for insurance by the amount of a fee charged by the consumer’s insurance broker. The California DOI seeks to impose a fine for each policy in which the Company allegedly permitted an agent to charge a broker fee and a penalty for each policy on which the Company allegedly used a misleading advertisement and to suspend certificates of authority for a period of one year. In January 2012, an Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) bifurcated the 2004 NNC between (a) the California DOI’s order to show cause, in which the California DOI asserts the false advertising allegations and accusation, and (b) the California DOI’s notice of noncompliance, in which the California DOI asserts the unlawful rate allegations. Following an evidentiary hearing on the noncompliance portion of the 2004 NNC in April 2013, post-hearing briefs and an unsuccessful mediation, the ALJ closed the evidentiary record on April 30, 2014. On December 8, 2014 the ALJ submitted a proposed decision to the California Insurance Commissioner and recommended that it be adopted as the decision of the California Insurance Commissioner. The decision states that from the period July 1, 1996 through 2006, Mercury’s "brokers" were actually operating as "de facto agents" and that the charging of "broker fees" by those producers constituted the charging of "premium" in excess of the Company’s approved rates and assesses a civil penalty in the amount of $27,593,550 against the Company. The California Insurance Commissioner adopted the ALJ's proposed decision on January 7, 2015, and the Company received notice of the California Department of Insurance decision on January 10, 2015.

Credit derivative transactions are governed by ISDA documentation and have different characteristics from financial guaranty insurance contracts. For example, the Company's control rights with respect to a reference obligation under a credit derivative may be more limited than when the Company issues a financial guaranty insurance contract. In addition, while the Company's exposure under credit derivatives, like the Company's exposure under financial guaranty insurance contracts, has been generally for as long as the reference obligation remains outstanding, unlike financial guaranty contracts, a credit derivative may be terminated for a breach of the ISDA documentation or other specific events. A loss payment is made only upon the occurrence of one or more defined credit events with respect to the referenced securities or loans. A credit event may be a non-payment event such as a failure to pay, bankruptcy or restructuring, as negotiated by the parties to the credit derivative transactions. If events of default or termination events specified in the credit derivative documentation were to occur, the non-defaulting or the non-affected party, which may be either the Company or the counterparty, depending upon the circumstances, may decide to terminate a credit derivative prior to maturity. The Company may be required to make a termination payment to its swap counterparty upon such termination. The Company may not unilaterally terminate a CDS contract; however, the Company has mutually agreed with various counterparties to terminate certain CDS transactions.

The Insurance Companies and their subsidiaries have in place unsecured lines of credit with local financial institutions under which they may borrow up to an aggregate of $9.2 million. At December 31, 1996, $1.55 million was outstanding on one of these lines of credit, which has an annual interest rate equal to the lending institutions' prime rate minus one-half percentage point. Old Guard Investment borrowed this $1.55 million to finance its initial investment in New Castle and First Delaware and subsequently repaid the loan in 1997 after the completion of the Conversion. In addition, at December 31, 1996, Old Guard Mutual had a $1.5 million surplus note outstanding. The holder elected to exchange the $1.5 million balance of the surplus note for 150,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company upon completion of the Conversion.

A single large loss or an unexpected rise in claims severity or frequency due to a catastrophic event could present us with a liquidity risk. In an effort to control such losses, we avoid marketing property casualty insurance in specific geographic areas and monitor our exposure in certain coastal regions. An example of this is the reduction of our homeowner policies in the southeastern coastal region in recent years. This area was identified as a major contributor to our catastrophe probable maximum loss estimates and has subsequently been greatly reduced. We also continually review aggregate exposures to huge disasters and purchase reinsurance protection to cover these exposures. We use the Risk Management Solutions (RMS) and Applied Insurance Research (AIR) models to evaluate exposures to a once-in-a-100 year and a once-in-a-250 year event to help determine appropriate reinsurance coverage programs. In conjunction with these activities, we also continue to evaluate information provided by our reinsurance broker. These various sources explore and analyze credible scientific evidence, including the impact of global climate change, which may affect our exposure under insurance policies.

The only area where this risk is somewhat significant is term life insurance. With reference to these products, a comparison is periodically made between actual deaths and those predicted by the demographic bases adopted for pricing. Moreover, mortality risk is mitigated through reinsurance and by setting limits on both the capital and the age of the policyholder when policies are sold.

The favorable development arose primarily from accident years 2010 and 2009, but was generally prevalent in most prior accident years, and resulted from actual loss development being somewhat lower than the Company had expected based on its historical loss development experience, reflecting continued improvements in loss mitigation and underwriting.

The following table sets forth the changes in the total mutual fund assets, excluding wrap-fee products, and the balance of wrap-fee product assets and annuities, at fair market value for mutual funds and account value for annuities, and net sales of our Retail Investments mutual fund and annuity products for the periods indicated. Net sales (redemptions) are gross sales minus redemptions or surrenders and withdrawals, as applicable. Neither sales nor net sales are revenues under GAAP; they are, however, relevant measures of sales and business activity. Revenues are derived from fees and spread income as discussed above.

available reserves or escrows, current subordination levels, third party guarantees and other credit enhancements. Other information, such as industry analyst reports and forecasts, sector credit ratings, financial condition of the bond insurer for insured fixed income securities, and other market data relevant to the realizability of contractual cash flows, may also be considered. The estimated fair value of collateral will be used to estimate recovery value if the Company determines that the security is dependent on the liquidation of collateral for ultimate settlement. If the estimated recovery value is less than the amortized cost of the security, a credit loss exists and an other-than-temporary impairment for the difference between the estimated recovery value and amortized cost is recorded in earnings. The portion of the unrealized loss related to factors other than credit remains classified in accumulated other comprehensive income. If the Company determines that the fixed income security does not have sufficient cash flow or other information to estimate a recovery value for the security, the Company may conclude that the entire decline in fair value is deemed to be credit related and the loss is recorded in earnings.

Deferred Annuities’ sales decreased 37% in 2012 compared to 2011. This was primarily the result of the low interest rate environment, which we believe has driven a decline in overall industry sales of deferred annuities and increased competition for customers.

Moreover, the term of the program was extended to five years in accordance with legal regulations. Therefore, the next SIP tranche will not mature before 2016.

In establishing the reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses, we have made various assumptions relating to the pricing of our reinsurance contracts and insurance policies and have also considered available historical industry experience and current industry conditions. Our reserving method for 2003 and 2002 was primarily the expected loss method, which is commonly applied when limited loss experience exists. We select the initial expected loss and loss adjustment expense ratios based on information derived by our underwriters and actuaries during the initial pricing of the business, supplemented by industry data where appropriate. These ratios consider, among other things, rate increases and changes in terms and conditions that have been observed in the market. Any estimates and assumptions made as part of the reserving process could prove to be inaccurate due to several factors, including the fact that very limited historical information has been reported to us through December 31, 2003. Reinsurance operations by their nature add further complexity to the reserving process in that there is an inherent additional lag in the timing and reporting of a loss event to a reinsurer from an insured or ceding company through a broker. As actual loss information is reported to us and we develop our own loss experience, our reserving methods will also include other actuarial techniques. It is possible that claims in respect of events that have occurred could exceed our reserves and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in a future period or our financial condition in general.

For the direct retained and assumed reinsurance without LAE claim limits, the Company is only one of a group of insurers. Each member of the group partici- pates in the handling and monitoring of the claim and the group selects one attorney to defend the case. Legal fees are prorated among the group based on each member's number of years of coverage. For assumed reinsurance with LAE limits, claims represent upper level excess policies assumed from the London market. As such, the primary insurers handle claim settlements and the Company pays its portion of the claim and LAE, up to its retention amounts, based on the settlement amounts determined by the primary insurers.

Cash generated by the Company's insurance subsidiaries is made available to PennCorp principally through periodic payments of principal and interest on surplus debentures issued by PLAIC, Constitution (sold July 30, 1999) and Pioneer Security (collectively, the "Surplus Note Companies"). The surplus debentures issued by PLAIC and Constitution were paid in full in connection with the consummation of the sale of the Career Sales Division. In connection with the acquisition of Southwestern Life from SW Financial which was part of a subsidiary realignment, PLAIC issued a new surplus debenture to SW Financial in the amount of $150,000. With respect to Constitution, Pioneer Security and PLAIC (as a result of its surplus debenture issued as of July 30, 1999), the surplus debenture payments have been made to non-insurance intermediate holding companies and paid to the Company in the form of dividends and tax sharing payments. The amounts outstanding under the surplus debentures totaled $258,335 and $453,118 as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. These surplus debentures generally require (subject to availability of statutory capital and surplus and in some instances, regulatory approval) principal and interest payments to be made quarterly.

On January 18, 2017 and November 7, 2017, the Company sold its ownership in the subordinated notes in two CLOs (collectively, the Disposed CLOs). As a result of the sales, the Company determined that it no longer had the controlling interest in such entities. The Company, therefore, deconsolidated its ownership in the subordinated notes of the Disposed CLOs and is no longer reporting the assets and liabilities of the Disposed CLOs in its consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017. The operations of the Disposed CLOs were consolidated in the results of the Company through the respective dates.

The income tax provision on operating income was an expense of $100.9 million for 2013, compared to a benefit of $1.9 million for 2012 and an expense of $2.6 million in 2011. These provisions resulted in effective tax rates for operating income of 30.8%, (14.4)% and 15.5% in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase in expense for 2013 is primarily due to higher underwriting income. The tax benefit in 2012 is primarily due to income from foreign operations not subject to U.S. tax and lower domestic underwriting income.
