general, we continue to use the loss ratio method until we deem it appropriate to begin to rely on the experience of the accident year (“AY”) being evaluated. This weighing in of the AY experience is typically done by employing the Bornhuetter-Ferguson (“BF”) reserving methodology. The BF methods compute IBNR through a blend of the expected loss ratio method and traditional loss development methods. The BF methods estimate IBNR for an accident year as the product of expected losses (earned premium multiplied by an expected loss ratio) plus an expected percentage of unreported losses. The expected percentage of unreported losses is derived from age-to-ultimate loss development factors that result from our analyses of loss development triangles. As accident years mature to the point at which the reported loss experience is more credible, we assign increasing weight to the paid and incurred loss development methods.

Additionally, we contract with a third-party actuarial firm to perform a quarterly reserve review and to annually opine on the reasonableness and adequacy of our aggregate loss reserves. We provide our external actuary with our pricing models, reserving analysis and any other data they may request. Additionally, the actuarial firm may inquire as to the various assumptions and estimates that we may use in our reserving analysis. The external actuarial firm independently creates its own reserving models based on industry loss information, augmented by specific client loss information that we may be asked to provide as well as its own independent assumptions and estimates. Based on various reserving methodologies that the actuarial firm considers appropriate, it creates a reserve estimate for each contract in our portfolio and provides us with an aggregate recommended loss reserve, including IBNR. If there are material differences between our aggregate booked reserves and the actuarial firm’s recommended reserves, we review the differences and make any necessary adjustments to the booked reserves. To date there have been no material differences resulting from the external actuary's reviews requiring adjustments to our booked reserves.

We have entered into certain foreign currency forward contracts that are designated as hedges in order to hedge our net investments in foreign subsidiaries. The accounting for the gains and losses associated with changes in fair value of the designated hedge instruments were recorded in other comprehensive income as part of the cumulative translation adjustment, to the extent that they are effective as hedges. We designated foreign currency forwards with notional contractual value of $43.2 million as hedging instruments, which had a fair value of $(0.5) million as of December 31, 2010. During the year ended December 31, 2010, we recorded $0.2 million of realized and unrealized losses directly into comprehensive income as part of the cumulative translation adjustment for the effective portion of the hedge. All other derivatives are not designated as hedges, and accordingly, the realized and unrealized gains and losses arising during the year are included in income in “Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) - investments” and “Net realized and unrealized gains - other” in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

While some of its competitors have recently raised rates or adopted more restrictive rules, those changes have not yet been large enough to redirect the flow of new business to the Company. The Company cannot determine how long the existing market conditions will continue, nor in which direction they might change.

For each referenced corporate entity in our corporate CDO transactions, the CDS spreads associated with the term of our transactions (“credit curve”) define the estimated expected loss for each entity (as applied in a market standard approach known as “risk neutral” modeling). The credit curves on individual referenced entities are generally observable. The expected cumulative loss for the portfolio of referenced entities associated with each of our transactions is the sum of the expected losses of these individual referenced entities. With respect to the correlation of losses across the underlying reference entities, two obligors belonging to the same industry or located in the same geographical region are assumed to have a higher probability of defaulting together (i.e., they are more correlated). An increase in the correlations between the referenced entities generally causes a higher expected loss for the portfolio associated with our transactions. The estimated correlation factors that we use are derived internally based on observable third-party inputs from historical data.

Stock Plans - On June 12, 2014, upon approval at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders, we adopted the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”). The 2014 Plan replaced the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan and 4.5 million shares were authorized for issuance under the 2014 Plan. The 2014 Plan does not include an evergreen provision to automatically increase the number of shares available under it and increases in the number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2014 Plan require stockholder approval. Also, under the 2014 Plan the following shares are not recycled for future grant under the 2014 Plan: (i) shares used in connection with the exercise of an option and/or stock appreciation right to pay the exercise price or purchase price of such award or satisfy applicable tax withholding obligations; and (ii) the gross number of shares subject to stock appreciation rights that are exercised. Furthermore, the 2014 Plan included a provision that prohibits repricing of outstanding stock options or stock appreciation rights and formalized and updated procedures to qualify awards as “performance-based” compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code in order to preserve full tax deductibility of such awards.

The Company has exposure to market risk as a result of its investment portfolio. Market risk is the risk that the Company will incur realized and unrealized net capital losses due to adverse changes in interest rates or credit spreads. The Company's primary market risk exposure is to changes in interest rates. Interest rate risk is the risk that the Company will incur a loss due to adverse changes in interest rates relative to the interest rate characteristics of its interest bearing assets and liabilities. This risk arises from many of the Company's primary activities, as it invests substantial funds in interest-sensitive assets and issues interest-sensitive liabilities. Interest rate risk includes risks related to changes in U.S. Treasury yields and other key risk-free reference yields, as well as changes in interest rates resulting from widening credit spreads and credit exposure.

Environmental. Net premiums earned increased 18.4% to $38.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $32.2 million for 2004. Net premiums written increased to $41.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $35.0 million for 2004. Most of the growth in this business line for 2005 was due to an increase in online production, as well as an increase in gross premiums of $2.4 million generated as a result of standard audits that were performed on certain expired policies in order to adjust estimated premiums to actual premiums. The Company believes that these increases were offset by a decline in the State of New York environmental contractor and consultant premiums as a result of changes implemented in its underwriting process in the State of New York, which the Company believes will improve the ultimate profitability of the environmental business line. The Company continues to experience a slight decline in premium rates from 2004 primarily in its middle-market business, which includes environmental accounts with insureds with greater than $3.0 million in annual revenue, due to increased competition and the overall changing pricing conditions in the market place. See “Business-Our Market-Excess and Surplus Lines” for a description of these changing conditions. Premium rates in its ProStar on-line rating and quoting system (“ProStar”) business have remained stable. The Company intends to focus its efforts on expanding ProStar’s capabilities and increasing its market share of insuring environmental risks of small and medium-sized businesses.

Revenue before certain derivatives increased by $186.3 million and $199.3 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively. These increases were driven by a combination of changes in investment income related to equity options held in a funds withheld portfolio associated with equity-indexed annuity treaties and an increase in investment income attributed to the new coinsurance agreement mentioned above. The effect on investment income related to equity options is substantially offset by a corresponding change in interest credited expense. In addition, other revenues increased $2.5 million and $27.1 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively, due primarily to the amortization of the deferred profit liability associated with the new fixed annuity coinsurance transaction.

Various other legal and regulatory actions are currently pending that involve the Company and specific aspects of its conduct of business. Like other members of the insurance industry, the Company is the target of a number of lawsuits and proceedings, some of which involve claims for substantial or indeterminate amounts. These actions are based on a variety of issues and target a range of the Company's practices. The outcome of these disputes is currently unpredictable. However, based on information currently known to it and the existence of the reinsurance agreements with ALIC, management believes that the ultimate outcome of all matters described in this "Other Matters" subsection in excess of amounts currently reserved, as they are resolved over time is not likely to have a material effect on the operating results, cash flows or financial position of the Company.

In the normal course of business, we commit to fund commercial mortgage loans up to 90 days in advance. At December 31, 2019, we had commitments to fund commercial mortgage loans totaling $244.3 million, with interest rates ranging from 3.35% to 5.68%. During 2019 and 2018, due to historically low interest rates, the commercial mortgage loan industry has been very competitive. This competition has resulted in a number of borrowers refinancing with other lenders. For the year ended December 31, 2019, we received $187.6 million in cash for loans being paid in full compared to $178.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. Some of the loans being paid off have either reached their maturity or are nearing maturity; however, some borrowers are paying the prepayment fee and refinancing at a lower rate.

That growth has been fuelled by progress across all our divisions and regions.

Net investment income on general account invested assets (which excludes income on policyholder accounts) increased 12 percent, to $719.3 million, in 2010 and 4.3 percent, to $643.6 million, in 2009. The average balance of general account invested assets was $12.3 billion, $11.4 billion and $10.6 billion in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The average yield on these assets was 5.84 percent in 2010, 5.64 percent in 2009 and 5.83 percent in 2008. The increase in general account invested assets is primarily due to: (i) sales of our annuity and health products in recent periods; and (ii) the proceeds from collateralized borrowings from the FHLB pursuant to an investment borrowing program that commenced in September 2010. The increase in net investment income in 2010 reflects: (i) an increase in the average yield due to our reinvestment of short-term investments held in 2009 into longer-term securities; and (ii) the growth in general account invested assets.

Some countries have regis­ tered an increase in the suicide rate, while in others there has been a rise in the number of disability cases. On the other hand, it would appear that policyholders are reluc­ tant to alter or even cancel their covers, presumably not wishing to deprive themselves of the savings elements of their policies.

At December 31, 2020, the Company's debt was recorded at amortized cost with a carrying value of $1,310 million (2019: $1,808 million) and a fair value of $1,485 million (2019: $1,896 million). The fair value of the Company's debt is based on prices obtained from a third-party pricing service and is determined using the spread above the risk-free yield curve.

As the yields for the risk-free yield curve and the spreads are observable market inputs, the fair value of the Company's debt is classified as Level 2.
