Based on management’s analysis and comparison of its current and future cash inflows from the dividends it receives from subsidiaries, including Metropolitan Life, that are permitted to be paid without prior insurance regulatory approval, its portfolio of liquid assets, anticipated securities issuances and other anticipated cash flows, management believes there will be sufficient liquidity to enable the Holding Company to make payments on debt, make cash dividend payments on its common and preferred stock, contribute capital to its subsidiaries, pay all operating expenses and meet its cash needs.

The Risk Model provides a continuous point of reference for the management, control and integrated reporting of risks. As a result, it is periodically revised to reflect the Group’s operations and in response to the results of assessment activities. The Risk Model has established five categories of risk: strategic, regulatory and compliance, insurance, operational and financial, as described below.

The Company's quarterly and annual revenues and other operating results have been and will continue to be affected by a wide variety of factors that could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial performance during any particular quarter or year. Such factors include, but are not limited to those referred to in Item 7. The seasonal products segment businesses introduced a number of new products in their target markets in 2001 which are expected to enhance future revenues and liquidity of the Company. However, there can be no assurance that these businesses will be able to implement their plans to introduce such products in a timely fashion, or that such products will meet the expectations of the Company for either revenues or profitability. The Company believes that cash flows from operating activities and the successful introduction of its new products and continued growth of its franchises, as well as its available borrowings under the revolving credit facilities, will be adequate to meet the Company's debt service obligations, working capital needs and planned capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months.

The upheavals on the international financial markets resulting from the financial crisis already led to setbacks in the most significant economies in 2008, with the related rise in insolvency rates leading to higher claims costs in credit reinsurance. A further increase is to be expected in the course of 2009, particularly in the case of a prolonged recession. In the renewals at 1 January 2009, we have taken account of this development through adjustments in our underwriting policy and in our terms and conditions.

Also impacting this segment’s growth is the fact that many nonstandard auto insurers have chosen to reduce rates, some substantially, in an effort to compete for market share. In addition, with the increased utilization and refinement of multi-variant rate models by many competitors, the definition of a nonstandard risk is becoming more ambiguous. As a result, what may have once been perceived as a nonstandard risk may now qualify within the standard market. The Company is responding by continuing to research and develop pricing enhancements to fit with the nonstandard auto markets it deems have a higher potential for underwriting profit.

To calculate the State Auto Group’s December 31, 2013 benefit obligation for each of the benefit plans, we used a discount rate of 4.85% based on an evaluation of the expected future benefit cash flows of our benefit plans used in conjunction with the Citigroup Pension Discount Curve at the measurement date. A lower discount rate results in, all else being equal, a higher present value of the benefit obligation. To calculate our benefit obligation at December 31, 2013 and net periodic benefit cost for the year ended December 31, 2014, a discount rate of 4.85% and an expected long-term rate of return on plan assets of 7.00% were used.

•Under SFAS No. 133, the annual crediting liabilities on our equity index annuities are treated as a "series of embedded derivatives" over the life of the applicable contracts. We are required to estimate the fair value of these embedded derivatives. Our estimates of the fair value of these embedded derivatives are based on assumptions related to underlying policy terms (including annual cap rates, participation rates, asset fees and minimum guarantees), index values, notional amounts, strike prices and expected lives of the policies. The change in fair value of the embedded derivatives will not correspond to the change in fair value of the purchased options because the purchased options are one-year options while the options valued in the fair value of embedded derivatives cover the entire life of the contract which is typically 10 to 15 years. The change in estimated fair value of the series of embedded options included in policyholder benefits in the consolidated statements of income, was $(5.0) million and $12.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

3. Fair value not based on observable market data At Level 3, the fair value of the assets and liabilities is determined in full or in part using a valuation technique based on unobservable market inputs. In these situations, there are marginally active or inactive markets for the assets or the liabilities. The financial assets and liabilities in this category are assessed individually. They are measured on the basis of management’s best estimates. These estimates are based on own sources and generally available information. The basic principle of fair value measurement remains to determine a fair, arm’s length price. This category includes, for instance, private equity investments.

Where a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable, we establish liabilities in accordance with FASB ASC Subtopic No. 450-20 (Contingencies-Loss Contingencies). Except as described above, we are not able at this time to provide a reasonable estimate of the range of possible loss attributable to these matters or the impact they may have on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. This is primarily because these matters are still developing and involve complex issues subject to inherent uncertainty. Adverse determinations in one or more of these matters could have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash flows in a future period.

2004 to 2003 Annual Comparison. Benefits and expenses of the segment’s individual life insurance business increased $190 million, from $1.493 billion in 2003 to $1.683 billion in 2004. The increase reflects a $175 million increase in operating expenses, including costs related to the distribution of property and casualty insurance products discussed above. Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs increased $79 million from 2003 to 2004, reflecting a lower level of amortization in the prior year due to the strong equity market performance and less favorable mortality experience in 2003. Partially offsetting these items was a decline in policyholder benefits and related changes in reserves of $96 million, from $687 million in 2003 to $591 million in 2004, primarily due to claims experience, net of reinsurance, being at a more favorable level than in the prior year.

A loss contingency is an existing condition, situation or set of circumstances involving uncertainty as to possible loss that will ultimately be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. Examples of loss contingencies include pending or threatened adverse litigation, threat of expropriation of assets and actual or possible claims and assessments. Amounts related to loss contingencies are accrued and recorded in Other liabilities on the Balance Sheets if it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated, based on the Company's best estimate of the ultimate outcome. If determined to meet the criteria for a reserve, the Company also evaluates whether there are external legal or other costs directly associated with the resolution of the matter and accrues such costs if estimable.

Under the investment method, we recognize our initial investment in life settlements at the transaction price plus all initial direct external costs. Continuing costs to keep the policy in force, primarily life insurance premiums, increase the carrying value of the investment. We recognize income on individual investments in life settlements when the insured dies, at an amount equal to the excess of the investment proceeds over the carrying amount of the investment at that time. These investments are subject to impairment review, as discussed below.

Significant costs are incurred in connection with acquiring new insurance business. Except for acquisition costs of with-profits contracts of the UK regulated with-profits funds, which are accounted for under the realistic FSA regime as described in note A4, these costs, which vary with, and are primarily related to, the production of new business, are capitalised and amortised against margins in future revenues on the related insurance policies. The recoverability of the asset is measured and the asset is deemed impaired if the projected future margins are less than the carrying value of the asset. To the extent that the future margins differ from those anticipated, then an adjustment to the carrying value of the deferred acquisition cost asset will be necessary.

This improvement was partially offset by estimated losses recorded for the planned dispositions of certain operations, principally CNA Re U.K., described in more detail below as well as decreases in after-tax gains from the sale of Canary Wharf of $34 million in 2001 as compared with $289 million in 2000.

This achievement was strongly supported by the performance of our agent network. In 2014, the network expanded by almost half through the acquisition of parts of the insurance business of UnipolSai Assicurazioni S.p.A. including 725 agencies which were successfully integrated subsequently. The introduction of the common digital platform Digital Agency has been instrumental in this integration, with the new agencies running it exclusively, benefiting from simple, mobile and paperless processes. Another driver of innovation in the agent network has been the introduction of ‘Allianz1’, which provides modular family coverage against most risks. Its success has greatly exceeded expectations, with more than 100,000 contracts written in 2014, paid on an affordable monthly basis.

Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 The combined ratio increased to 94.5% for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to 92.5% in the same period ended 2008. The increase was primarily due to a higher loss ratio reflecting ongoing changes in the mix of business within the segment, particularly those premiums associated with the UBI unit within AmTrust’s Small Commercial Business segment, which generate higher loss ratios than the underlying core AmTrust Small Commercial Business segment.

To mitigate the risk arising from exposure to reinsurers (in the form of reinsurance recoveries and profit commissions), the Group only conducts business with companies of appropriate financial strength ratings. In addition, many reinsurance contracts are operated on a funds withheld basis, which substantially reduces credit risk, as the Group withholds the cash received as collateral.

We also record IBNR reserves for our mortgage guaranty and other segments. IBNR is an estimate of losses for which the insured event has occurred but the claim has not yet been reported to us. In establishing IBNR, we use traditional actuarial methods to estimate the reporting lag of such claims based on historical experience, claim reviews and information reported by ceding companies. We record IBNR for mortgage guaranty reinsurance on two specific quota-share contracts that are in run-off within our mortgage guaranty segment. We also record IBNR for title reinsurance, auto residual

Four core questions will be considered as part of the pre-vest assessment. In determining the final vesting level of the award, the Committee will consider both individual and collective performance which means that there may be different vesting levels by participant. The process that will be followed to determine whether sustainable performance has been delivered is as follows: Performance Goals for 2020 (for the pre-grant assessment of LTI awards to be made in 2021) The table below forms the basis of the pre-grant assessment for LTI awards to be made in early 2021, with performance assessed across four core areas using a balanced scorecard and with measures that align with RBS’s purpose. It should be noted that the pre-grant assessment for LTI awards operates over a one-year period based on strategic targets for that year, and in this respect it has some similarities to the operation of annual bonus awards rather than traditional long-term incentive awards. Targets are disclosed in advance where these are not deemed commercially sensitive. There are no weightings set for the performance categories as the Committee follows a robust process to review performance against pre-set goals but applies its judgement without reference to formulaic weightings. Full details on the 2020 targets and the assessment of performance against these will be set out in the 2020 Directors’ Remuneration Report.

We periodically evaluate our estimates, which are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. If actual performance should differ from historical experience or if the underlying assumptions were to change, our financial condition and results of operations may be materially impacted. In addition, some accounting policies require significant judgment to apply complex principles of accounting to certain transactions, such as acquisitions, in determining the most appropriate accounting treatment. We believe that the significant accounting estimates and policies described below are material to our financial reporting and are subject to a degree of subjectivity and/or complexity. We also discuss our critical accounting policies and estimates with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

The table shown on page 73 in note 48b) provides an indication of the Group’s interest rate repricing profile at 31 December 2000, excluding the Group’s trading and insurance activities and after taking into account the off-balance sheet hedging transactions referred to above. Items are allocated to time bands by reference to the earlier of the next interest rate repricing date and the maturity date. It should be noted that retail assets are sometimes repaid before their contractual maturity dates, and GBSM’s hedging transactions take into account the likelihood of such prepayments.

Life insurance - Reinsurance premiums, commissions and expense reimbursements on reinsurance ceded on life insurance policies are accounted for on a basis consistent with those used in accounting for the underlying reinsured policies. Expense reimbursements received in connection with new reinsurance ceded have been accounted for as a reduction of the related policy acquisition costs. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers for future policy benefits are estimated in a manner consistent with the assumptions used for the underlying policy benefits. Amounts recoverable for incurred claims, future policy benefits and expense reimbursements are recorded as assets. Reinsurance contracts do not relieve EFL from its obligations to policyholders.

We invest our surplus and the funds supporting our insurance liabilities (including unearned premiums and unpaid loss and settlement expenses) in cash, cash equivalents, equities, fixed maturity securities and real estate. Investment income includes interest and dividends earned on invested assets. Net realized gains and losses on invested assets are reported separately from net investment income. We recognize realized gains when invested assets are sold for an amount greater than their cost or amortized cost (in the case of fixed maturity securities) and recognize realized losses when investment securities are written down as a result of an other than temporary impairment or sold for an amount less than their cost or amortized cost, as applicable. Our portfolio of investment securities is managed by an independent third party and manager specializing in the insurance industry.

If we were to experience a significant increase in lapse or surrender rates on policies for which we amortize DAC based on estimated gross margins or gross profits, such as participating and variable life insurance, we would expect acceleration of the write-off of DAC for the affected blocks of policies. Additionally, for all policies on which we have outstanding DAC, we would be required to evaluate whether this experience called into question our ability to recover all or a portion of the DAC, and we would be required to write off some or all of the DAC if we concluded that we could not recover it. While an accelerated write-off of DAC would not affect our cash flow or liquidity, it would negatively affect our reported earnings and level of capital under generally accepted accounting principles.

As previously reported, in the second quarter of 2010, we determined that a triggering event related to our insurance subsidiary had occurred, necessitating an update of the prior year’s impairment analysis. The fair value of the reporting unit was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, resulting in our recording a $1.5 million impairment charge against the goodwill resulting from the acquisition of SBIC in September 2003.

Management considers a wide range of factors about the security issuer and uses its best judgment in evaluating the cause of the decline in the estimated fair value of the security and in assessing the prospects for near-term recovery. Inherent in management’s evaluation of the security are assumptions and estimates about the operations of the issuer and its future earnings potential. Considerations used in the impairment evaluation process include, but are not limited to: (i) the length of time and the extent to which the estimated fair value has been below cost or amortized cost; (ii) the potential for impairments when the issuer is experiencing significant financial difficulties; (iii) the potential for impairments in an entire industry sector or sub-sector; (iv) the potential for impairments in certain economically depressed geographic locations; (v) the potential for impairments where the issuer, series of issuers or industry has suffered a catastrophic loss or has exhausted natural resources; (vi) with respect to fixed maturity securities, whether the Company has the intent to sell or will more likely than not be required to sell a particular security before the decline in estimated fair value below amortized cost recovers; (vii) with respect to structured securities, changes in forecasted cash flows after considering the quality of underlying collateral, expected prepayment speeds, current and forecasted loss severity, consideration of the payment terms of the underlying assets backing a particular security, and the payment priority within the tranche structure of the security; (viii) the potential for impairments due to weakening of foreign currencies on non-functional currency denominated fixed maturity securities that are near maturity; and (ix) other subjective factors, including concentrations and information obtained from regulators and rating agencies.
