The Company is a major writer of large, complex energy-related (re)insurance coverages and manages its exposure through, among other items, the purchase of reinsurance. The Company continues to assess its potential third party liability exposures arising out of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion in the Gulf. However, given that the facts are still developing, as well as the complexities of the nature of the event, including indemnities from BP p.l.c., other defenses to liability based on contract and common law and coverage issues, it is too early to estimate losses at this time.

insurance, associated underwriting costs were not deferred. We defer policy acquisition costs when incurred and amortize these costs in proportion to estimated gross profits for each policy year by type of insurance contract (i.e. monthly, annual and single premium). Policy acquisition costs incurred and deferred are variable and fluctuate with the volume of new insurance applications processed and NIW. The decrease in amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs in 2008 and the increase in 2007 were primarily due to our $33.6 million impairment in 2007 of PMI’s deferred policy acquisition costs associated with PMI’s 2007 book year. PMI’s deferred policy acquisition cost asset was $32.3 million, $10.5 million, and $43.5 million as of December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Seven subsidiaries of the brokerage segment make short-term loans (generally with terms of twelve months or less) to our clients to finance premiums. These premium financing contracts are structured to minimize potential bad debt expense to us. Such receivables are generally considered delinquent after seven days of the payment due date. In normal course, insurance policies are cancelled within one month of the contractual payment due date if the payment remains delinquent. We recognize interest income as it is earned over the life of the contract using the “level-yield” method. Unearned interest related to contracts receivable is included in the receivable balance in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The outstanding loan receivable balance was $442.7 million and $388.1 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The Company has available as a source of funds a $1.00 billion revolving variable rate credit facility entered into by NFS, NLIC and NMIC with a group of national financial institutions. The facility provides for several and not joint liability with respect to any amount drawn by any party. The facility provides covenants, including, but not limited to, requirements that the Company maintain consolidated tangible net worth, as defined, in excess of $2.60 billion and that NLIC maintain statutory surplus, as defined, in excess of $1.67 billion. As of December 31, 2006, the Company and NLIC were in compliance with all covenants. The Company had no amounts outstanding under this agreement as of December 31, 2006 and 2005. NLIC also has an $800.0 million commercial paper program and is required to maintain an available credit facility equal to 50% of any amounts outstanding under the commercial paper program. Therefore, borrowing capacity under the aggregate $1.00 billion revolving credit facility is reduced by 50% of any amounts outstanding under the commercial paper program. NLIC had no commercial paper outstanding at December 31, 2006 and $134.7 million outstanding at December 31, 2005 at a weighted average effective interest rate of 4.22%.

The Plans also provide for the directors and key employees to receive share awards based on the book value of the Redeemable Common Shares. Subsequent to 2010, a director will receive Class B Redeemable Common Shares upon vesting. A key employee may elect to defer receiving such amounts until termination of employment and vesting requirements are met. If a key employee does not elect to defer receiving his or her share awards, the individual will receive Class B Redeemable Common Shares upon vesting. If the share awards are deferred, these deferred amounts will be paid in cash at redemption. An individual director’s award vests 100% at the end of each year if the director meets certain attendance requirements. The key employee awards vest 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% at the end of each respective year in a four-year period following the grant date. There are no performance criteria associated with the vesting of the awards for key employees and the only requirement for vesting is that the individual is an employee of the Company at the end of the vesting year in question. There were approximately 170 and 157 of these non-vested awards outstanding at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The number of awards expected to vest approximates the total non-vested awards outstanding.

Non-life business Profits from our non-life businesses fell by 38% to £79m (2007: £128m). The decrease was primarily due to the £51m fair value adjustment related to the restructuring of a sub-fund of Standard Life Investments (Global Liquidity Funds) plc, which impacted the results of the investment management business. Excluding this impact and despite the market turbulence, the normalised IFRS underlying result for the investment management business increased by 12% to £93m (2007: £83m) due to solid revenue growth and tight cost control.

We have net operating loss carryforwards in our U.S. operating subsidiaries totaling $21.9 million at December 31, 2005. Such net operating losses are currently available to offset future taxable income of the subsidiaries. Under applicable law, the U.S. net operating loss carryforwards expire between 2012 and 2020. Full utilization of our net operating losses would reduce future taxes payable by $7.7 million. In addition, we have an alternative minimum tax credit carryforward in the amount of $1.0 million, which can be carried forward without expiration. On November 20, 2001, we underwent an ownership change for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the capital raised at that time. As a result of this ownership change, limitations are imposed upon the utilization by our U.S. operating subsidiaries of existing net operating losses and the alternative minimum tax credit carryforward.

A change in any of these factors from the assumptions implicit in our estimates will cause our ultimate loss experience to be better or worse than indicated by our reserves, and the difference could be material.

As a condition to conduct certain business in various states, the Company is required to participate in residual market mechanisms, facilities and pooling arrangements such as the Michigan Catastrophic Claims Association (“MCCA”). The Company is subject to concentration of risk with respect to reinsurance ceded to the MCCA. Funding for MCCA comes from assessments against automobile insurers based upon their share of insured automobiles in the state. Insurers are allowed to pass along this cost to Michigan automobile policyholders. The Company ceded to the MCCA premiums earned and losses and LAE incurred of $69.6 million and $122.6 million in 2011, $64.7 million and $135.6 million in 2010, $55.8 million and $97.7 million in 2009, respectively. MCCA, which represented 36.1% of the total reinsurance receivable balance at December 31, 2011, is the Company's only reinsurer representing at least 10% of its reinsurance assets. Reinsurance recoverables related to MCCA were $816.7 million and $752.5 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Because the MCCA is supported by assessments permitted by statute, and there have been no significant uncollectible balances from MCCA identified during the three years ending December 31, 2011, the Company believes that it has no significant exposure to uncollectible reinsurance balances from this entity.

These subsidiaries prepare statutory financial statements in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the respective jurisdictions’ insurance regulators. Domestic prescribed statutory accounting practices are set forth in a variety of publications of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) as well as state laws, regulations and general administrative rules. These statutory accounting principles vary in certain respects from GAAP. In converting from statutory accounting principles to GAAP, the more significant adjustments include deferral of policy acquisition costs and the inclusion of net unrealized holding gains or losses in shareholders’ equity relating to certain fixed maturity securities.

During 2008 we have built on the strong performance achieved in 2007, with the continued integration of UK financial services. This has enabled us to deliver the full £100m of efficiency savings one year early. The efficiency savings achieved in 2008 have been reflected in a £64m benefit to embedded value operating profit (2007: £109m).

Under ias 12, deferred tax assets must be accounted for in cases where asset items have to be valued lower, or liabilities items higher, in the consolidated balance sheet than in the tax balance sheet of the Group company concerned and these differences will even themselves out again with effect on taxable income (temporary differences). Also included are tax assets deriving from tax loss carry-forwards. We take into account the tax rates of the countries concerned and the company’s respective tax situation; in some cases, for purposes of simplification, we use uniform tax rates for individual circumstances or subsidiaries.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to a significant number of claims, lawsuits and proceedings in the ordinary course of business. Such claims and lawsuits consist principally of alleged errors and omissions in connection with the performance of professional services, including the placement of insurance, the provision of actuarial services for corporate and public sector clients, the provision of investment advice and investment management services to pension plans, the provision of advice relating to pension buy-out transactions and the provision of consulting services relating to the drafting and interpretation of trust deeds and other documentation governing pension plans. These claims may seek damages, including punitive and treble damages, in amounts that could, if awarded, be significant. In establishing liabilities for errors and omissions claims in accordance with FASB ASC Subtopic No. 450-20 (Contingencies-Loss Contingencies), the Company uses case level reviews by inside and outside counsel, an internal actuarial analysis and other analysis to estimate potential losses. A liability is established when a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. The liability is reviewed quarterly and adjusted as developments warrant. In many cases, the Company has not recorded a liability, other than for legal fees to defend the claim, because we are unable, at the present time, to make a determination that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable.

Commission and other income increased $0.1 million, or 15.9%, to $0.9 million in 1995 from $0.8 million in 1994. This increase is primarily due to the increasing service fees on the growing block of reinsured policies. This increase in service fee income is partially off-set by the reduction of reinsurance commission income related to Medicare supplement and accelerated life products which were discontinued in 1994.

For our natural catastrophe exposed business, we seek to limit the amount of exposure we will assume from any one insured or reinsured and the amount of the exposure to catastrophe losses in any geographic zone. We monitor our exposure to catastrophic events, including earthquake and wind, and periodically reevaluate the estimated probable maximum pre-tax loss for such exposures. Our estimated probable maximum pre-tax loss is determined through the use of modeling techniques, but such estimate does not represent our total potential loss for such exposures. We seek to limit the probable maximum pre-tax loss to a specific level for severe catastrophic events. Currently, we generally seek to limit the probable maximum pre-tax loss to approximately 25% of total shareholders' equity for a severe catastrophic event in any geographic zone that could be expected to occur once in every 250 years. There can be no assurances that we will not suffer pre-tax losses greater than 25% of total shareholders' equity from one or more catastrophic events due to several factors, including the inherent uncertainties in estimating the frequency and severity of such events and the margin of error in making such determinations resulting from potential inaccuracies and inadequacies in the data provided by clients and brokers, the modeling techniques and the application of such techniques. In addition, depending on business opportunities and the mix of business that may comprise our insurance and reinsurance portfolio, we may seek to adjust our self-imposed limitations on probable maximum pre-tax loss for catastrophe exposed business.

SFAS No. 144 provides guidance on the accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" and amends Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 ("APB No. 30") "Reporting Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business." SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets that are to be disposed of by sale be measured at the lower of book value or fair value less cost to sell. Additionally, entities are no longer required to include under "discontinued operations" operating losses that have not yet occurred. SFAS No. 144 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and, generally, its provisions are to be applied prospectively. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have a significant effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

A resolution of the General Meeting to render this list non-binding, or to suspend or dismiss Executive Board members without this being proposed by the Supervisory Board, requires an absolute majority of the votes cast. Additionally, this majority must represent more than half of the issued share capital. This additional requirement was tightened up (from one third to one half of the issued share capital) in connection with the abolition of the depositary receipts structure in 2016. Also in connection with the abolition of the depositary receipts structure in 2016, the Articles of Association now exclude the possibility under Dutch corporate law to waive this requirement in a second General Meeting. Both additional elements, which deviate from what is recommended under the Dutch Corporate Governance Code, ensure that significant proposals of shareholders cannot be adopted in a General Meeting with a low attendance rate and can only be adopted with substantial support of ING Group’s shareholders.

During the third quarter of 1993, Congress passed the "Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993" (the "Act"). Certain provisions of the Act increased the statutory federal income tax rate to 35% from 34% and made the impact of such change retroactive to January 1, 1993. Aside from the increased statutory rate, the Company does not expect other provisions of the Act to have a material impact on the Company's income taxes.
