Chaucer’s income before income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $24.7 million, compared to $8.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, an improvement of $16.1 million. This increase is primarily due to lower catastrophe losses. Catastrophe losses for the year ended December 31, 2018 were $85.8 million, compared to $131.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, a decrease of $45.3 million. Chaucer’s income before taxes, excluding catastrophes, was $110.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to $139.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. This $29.2 million decline was primarily due to higher non-catastrophe current accident year large losses and higher expenses, primarily driven by higher brokerage costs due to a change in business mix.

(which can be redefined during the annual renewal process of property re/insurance business), market conditions, capital costs, insurance penetration, storm hardening and other climate adaptation measures. Since our re/insurance book and current AEL are the result of a complex interaction between all of these factors, any future scenario would have to consider all of them, in the process rendering the effect of climate change on the resulting AEL marginal. Moreover, the future AEL for Swiss Re’s weather-related re/insurance book will depend both on our future market share and scenario projections of overall business volume.10 Independent studies have shown a wide range for future market business volumes, thus rendering long-term projections very challenging.

Prior to 1992 the Company recognized the expense as amounts were paid. Such costs amounted to approximately S10,441,000 for 1991. For measurement purposes, a trend rate of 14.5% to 15% pre-65 and 11.5% post- 65, for covered costs was used. These trend rates are expected to decrease gradually to 6% and 7% at rates from 0.5% to 1.0% per annum. An increase of one percentage point in assumed health care cost trend rates would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by approximately $28,685,000 and the net periodic postretirement benefit cost by approximately $3,900,000.

• Changes in the fair value of fixed maturity securities, for which the fair value option has been elected, are used as a capital-efficient way to economically hedge interest rate and credit spread-related risk. Effective June 30, 2015, we discontinued our U.S. Treasury bond interest rate hedging program and initiated a corporate bond hedging program, which is intended to provide the same capital efficiency as the previous U.S. Treasury bond hedging program. The change in the fair value of the corporate bond hedging program in 2016 included gains, primarily due to credit spreads tightening and decreases in market interest rates in the first nine months of 2016, partially offset by an increase in rates in the fourth quarter of 2016. The change in the fair value of the corporate bond hedging program in 2015 reflected losses, primarily due to increases in market interest rates in the first six months of 2015 and credit spreads widening. The gains in 2014 from the change in the fair value of the fixed maturities securities were due to decreases in market interest rates in 2014. The change in the fair value of the hedging bonds, which is excluded from the pre-tax operating income of the Individual Retirement and Group Retirement segments, is reported in net investment income on the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).

To include credit risk in the fair value, ING applies both Credit and Debit Valuation Adjustments (CVA, DVA). Own issued debt and structured notes that are measured at fair value are adjusted for credit risk by means of a DVA. Additionally, derivatives valued at fair value are adjusted for credit risk by a CVA. The CVA is of a bilateral nature as both the credit risk on the counterparty as well as the credit risk on ING are included in the adjustment. All input data that is used in the determination of the CVA is based on market implied data. Additionally, wrong-way risk (when exposure to a counterparty is increasing and the credit quality of that counterparty deteriorates) and right-way risk (when exposure to a counterparty is increasing and the credit quality of that counterparty improves) are taken into account in the measurement of the valuation adjustment. ING applies an additional ‘Funding Valuation Adjustment’ (FVA) to the uncollateralised derivatives based on the market price of funding liquidity.

Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with the associated claim liability. Included in reinsurance recoverables are amounts related to certain structured settlements. The Company reports its reinsurance recoverables net of an allowance for amounts that are estimated to be uncollectible. The allowance is based upon the Company’s ongoing review of amounts outstanding, length of collection periods, changes in reinsurer credit standing, disputes, applicable coverage defenses and other relevant factors. For structured settlements, the allowance is also based upon the Company’s ongoing review of life insurers’ creditworthiness and estimated amounts of coverage that would be available from state guaranty funds if a life insurer defaults. A probability-of-default methodology which reflects current and forecasted economic conditions is used to estimate the amount of uncollectible reinsurance due to credit-related factors and the estimate is reported in an allowance for estimated uncollectible reinsurance. The allowance also includes estimated uncollectible amounts related to dispute risk with reinsurers. Amounts deemed to be uncollectible, including amounts due from known insolvent reinsurers, are written off against the allowance. Changes in the allowance, as well as any subsequent collections of amounts previously written off, are reported as part of claims and claim adjustment expenses. The Company evaluates and monitors the financial condition of its reinsurers under voluntary reinsurance arrangements to minimize its exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies.

The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) has developed financial relationships or tests known as the Insurance Regulatory Information System to assist state insurance regulators in monitoring the financial condition of insurance companies and identifying companies that require special attention or actions by state insurance regulators. The NAIC analyzes financial data provided by insurance companies using prescribed ratios, each with defined “usual ranges”. Additional regulatory scrutiny may occur if a company’s ratios fall outside the usual ranges for four or more of the ratios. None of the insurance companies had more than three ratios outside of the usual ranges.

For this reason, net insurance premium revenue has increased by almost 30% in the year - although on a like for like basis (that is, had the Group underwrote 25% as opposed to 30% of 2005 business), the increase is 16% – much more in line with the written premium increase noted above.

By comparison, the estimated industry personal lines combined ratio was 107.4 percent in 2011, 100.4 percent in 2010 and 100.6 percent in 2009. Our concentration of business in areas hard-hit by catastrophe events contributed to recent results that differed from the overall industry, an issue we are addressing in part through geographic expansion. Since early 2008, we have worked to improve our geographic diversification by expanding our personal lines operation to several states less prone to catastrophes, including the western states of Arizona, Idaho, Montana, and Utah. We have also non-renewed approximately 2,600 homeowner policies in Florida and Alabama that we believe were the most exposed to losses from hurricane damage. The contribution of catastrophe losses to our personal lines statutory combined ratio was 22.7 percentage points in 2011, 8.1 percentage points in 2010 and 16.1 percentage points in 2009, compared with an estimated 10.5, 5.3 and 4.9 percentage points, respectively, for the industry.

Though elsewhere, for example U.S. commercial lines, there is a limited visibility on the positive catalysts that could effect a significant improvement, including a better balance of supply and demand and an exhaustion of releases from prior year claims reserves that are fuelling lower prices. We remain steadfast in our belief that prices need to be significantly higher across the board, also to compensate for claims inflation, lower investment yields and long-term catastrophe loss trends.

(b) Asbestos, pollution and social environmental hazards In the course of conducting insurance business, various companies within the Group receive general insurance liability claims, and become involved in actual or threatened litigation arising therefrom, including claims in respect of pollution and other environmental hazards. Amongst these are claims in respect of asbestos production and handling in various jurisdictions, including the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada. Given the significant delays that are experienced in the notification of these claims, the potential number of incidents which they cover and the uncertainties associated with establishing liability and the availability of reinsurance, the ultimate cost cannot be determined with certainty. However, the Group’s net exposure to such liabilities is not significant and, on the basis of current information and having regard to the level of provisions made for general insurance claims, the directors consider that any costs arising are not likely to have a material impact on the financial position of the Group.

We obtain audit evidence through testing the effectiveness of controls, substantive procedures or a combination of both. In addition, we read all the financial and non-financial information in the Annual Report to identify material inconsistencies with the audited financial statements and to identify any information that is apparently materially incorrect based on, or materially inconsistent with, the knowledge acquired by us in the course of performing the audit. If we become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report.

Our cash and short-term investments were $590 million at year-end 2009 and $177 million at year-end 2008. Additionally, we have a portfolio of marketable fixed and equity securities that are available for sale in the event of an unexpected need. These securities had a fair value of $9.7 billion at December 31, 2009. However, our strong cash flows from operations, investment maturities, and credit line availability make any need to sell securities for liquidity unlikely.

Our business and results of operations are materially affected by conditions in the global capital markets and the economy generally. Stressed conditions, volatility and disruptions in global capital markets, particular markets, or financial asset classes can have an adverse effect on us, in part because we have a large investment portfolio and our insurance liabilities and derivatives are sensitive to changing market factors. See “Risk Factors - Economic Environment and Capital Markets-Related Risks - We Are Exposed to Significant Global Financial and Capital Markets Risks Which May Adversely Affect Our Results of Operations, Financial Condition and Liquidity, and May Cause Our Net Investment Income to Vary from Period to Period.” The impact on global capital markets and the economy generally of the transition occurring in the United States government and the priorities of the Trump Administration is uncertain. See “Risk Factors - Economic Environment and Capital Markets-Related Risks - If Difficult Conditions in the Global Capital Markets and the Economy Generally Persist, They May Materially Adversely Affect Our Business and Results of Operations.”

In connection with the transfer of the net assets of POMG to CNA and the assumption by CNA of the obligations of POMG under certain Realtor's errors and omissions policies, the Company guaranteed the performance by Sphere Drake Insurance, PLC ("Sphere Drake"), a third party reinsurance company, under a $5,000,000 reinsurance treaty purchased by POMG to protect it from losses in excess of a predetermined amount. Under the terms of the Company's guaranty, CNA, as the transferee of the reinsurance treaty, bears any credit risk under the treaty, including, but not limited to, any risk that Sphere Drake becomes insolvent, is adjudicated as a bankrupt or has liquidation or similar proceedings commenced against it. The reinsurance treaty represents amounts recoverable from a third party insurance company under the reinsurance treaty purchased by POMG. This guarantee is secured by $3,000,000 cash collateral posted by the Company. This amount is reported as restricted cash in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The Company has agreed, if necessary, to pay an additional $2,000,000, related to the guarantee, out of future commissions. On April 10,

Universal life contracts are long-duration contracts for which contractual provisions are not fixed, unlike whole life insurance. Universal life contracts allow policyholders to vary the amount of premium, within limits, without our consent. However, we may vary the mortality and expense charges, within limits, and the interest crediting rate used to accumulate policy values. We do not record universal life premiums as revenue. Instead we recognize as revenue the mortality charges, administration charges and surrender charges when received. Some of our universal life contracts assess administration charges in the early years of the contract that are compensation for services we will provide in the later years of the contract. These administration charges are deferred and are recognized over the period when we provide those future services.

In the normal course of business, the Company commits to fund commercial mortgage loans that generally have fixed expiration dates. At December 31, 2003, the Company had outstanding commitments to fund commercial mortgage loans with fixed interest rates ranging from 5.25% to 7.00%, totaling $102.8 million. These commitments generally have fixed expiration dates. A small percentage of commitments expire due to the borrower’s failure to deliver the requirements of the commitment by the expiration date. In these cases, the Company will retain the commitment fee and good faith deposit. Alternatively, if the Company terminates a commitment due to its disapproval of a commitment requirement, the commitment fee and deposit will be refunded to the borrower, less an administrative fee.

In September 1998, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") adopted new minimum capitalization requirements, known as risk-based capital rules, for health care coverage provided by HMOs and other risk-bearing health care entities. Depending on the nature and extent of the new minimum capitalization requirements ultimately adopted by each state, there could be an increase in the capital required for certain of the Company's regulated subsidiaries. The Connecticut Department of Insurance has promulgated regulations based on the NAIC model which are applicable to its 1999 annual financial statements. Neither New York nor New Jersey has enacted similar legislation; however, risk-based capital legislation has been introduced in New York. In addition, the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance ("NJDBI") published solvency regulations in June 1999 that resulted in an additional $1.5 million solvency deposit by Oxford NJ. NYSID has announced an intention to strengthen current solvency regulations to allow NYSID to take over failing health plans without a court order; however, capitalization requirements continue to be subject to state interpretation from time to time. The Company believes that the current capitalization of the subsidiaries is sufficient to meet these requirements.
