The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with FIN 48 is a two-step process. The first step is a recognition process whereby the entity determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. In evaluating whether a tax position has met the more likely than not recognition threshold, the entity should presume that the position will be examined by the appropriate taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The second step is a measurement process whereby a tax position that meets the more likely than not recognition threshold is calculated to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

Total consolidated liabilities of the Company at December 31, 1997 were $67,575,817 a decrease of $7,367,187 from the previous year end. This decrease was the result of the increase in claim payments of approximately $4.5 million discussed earlier, a decline of approximately $1.5 million in the unearned premium reserve which was primarily due to the decrease in policyholders, a decrease in amounts payable to reinsurers on retrospectively rated reinsurance contracts of $857,000, and a decrease in claims drafts outstanding of approximately $420,000 which is included in the decrease in other liabilities of $426,125. Over 86% of the Company's total liabilities at December 31, 1997 relate to reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses, which declined approximately $4.5 million from the prior year end. These unpaid loss and loss adjustment expense reserves are established based on actuarially determined estimates and are reviewed regularly by management and the Company's independent actuary.

Adjusted for the CNCE dividend and changes in home purchase savings - refl ecting a signifi cant fall in old outstandings generating negative margins, mostly recycled as life insurance - the interest margin increased by 3.1%. This was driven primarily by a volume effect on outstandings, which offset the effects of a decline in margins: in a continuing buoyant market for home loans and with strong momentum in consumer loans, outstanding loans increased by 8% to €114 billion at end-2006; customer savings (excluding demand deposits) increased by 5% to nearly €270 billion. This includes signifi cant outfl ows of home purchase savings deposits following the decision to tax interest earned on plans more than 10 years old,

For the three months ended December 31, 2016, we recognized $101.9 million of realized investment losses compared to realized investment losses of $38.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015. Partially offsetting the higher realized investment losses was a partial sale of one of our other private securities during the quarter ended December 31, 2016 that we account for under the equity method of accounting. As a result of the sale, we no longer maintained significant influence over the operations and discontinued the use of the equity method of accounting for the remaining equity interest still owned by us. We recorded a realized gain of $21.7 million related to the equity interest sold and recorded an unrealized gain of $8.1 million related to the fair value of the remaining interest we still own.

In life business too the calculation of reserves and assets is crucially dependent on actuarial projections of the covered business. So-called model points are defined according to the type of business covered. The main distinguishing criteria are the age, sex and (non-)smoker status of the insured, tariff, policy period, period of premium payment and amount of insurance. The portfolio development is simulated for each model point, in which regard the key input parameters are either predefined by the tariff (e.g. allowance for costs, amount of premium, actuarial interest rate) or need to be estimated (e.g. mortality or disability rates, lapse rates). These assumptions are heavily dependent on countryspecific parameters and on the sales channel, quality of the cedant's underwriting and claims handling, type of reinsurance and other framework conditions of the reinsurance treaty. The superimposition of numerous model points gives rise to a projection, which incorporates inter alia assumptions concerning the portfolio composition and the commencement of covered policies within the year. Such assumptions are estimated at the inception of a reinsurance treaty and subsequently adjusted to the actual production.

Adjusted operating income from our Life Planner operations increased $122 million, from $808 million in 2005 to $930 million in 2006, including a $51 million favorable impact of currency fluctuations. Excluding the impact of currency fluctuations, adjusted operating income increased $71 million reflecting continued growth of our Japanese and Korean Life Planner operations and improved investment margins. The improved investment margins reflect the favorable effect of certain investment portfolio strategies initially implemented in 2005 including increased investments in unhedged U.S. dollar denominated securities. Adjusted operating income in 2005 included a one-time $44 million benefit from an investment joint venture, $5 million from a reduction in our liability for guaranty fund assessments and a $5 million benefit from reserve refinements on recently introduced products in our Korean operation.

Forward contracts are used by the Company to manage market risks relating to interest rates. The Company also uses “to be announced” (“TBA”) forward contracts to gain exposure to the investment risk and return of mortgage-backed securities. TBA transactions can help the Company to achieve better diversification and to enhance the return on its investment portfolio. TBAs provide a more liquid and cost effective method of achieving these goals than purchasing or selling individual mortgage-backed pools. Typically, the price is agreed upon at the time of the contract and payment for such a contract is made at a specified future date.

Positions taken in the Company’s tax returns may be subject to challenge by the taxing authorities upon examination. The Company recognizes the benefit of uncertain tax positions in the financial statements when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on examination by the tax authorities upon lapse of the relevant statute of limitations, or when positions are effectively settled. The benefit recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized on settlement with the tax authorities, assuming full knowledge of the position and all relevant facts. The Company adjusts its recognition of these uncertain tax benefits in the period in which new information is available impacting either the recognition or measurement of its uncertain tax positions. These differences will be reflected as increases or decreases to income tax expense in the period in which they are determined.
