The financial services industry is also impacted by the regulatory and legislative environment. In 2003, additional aspects of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 were implemented as rules relating to corporate governance, auditor independence and disclosure became effective and/or was adopted in their final form. Various federal and state securities regulators and self-regulatory organizations (including the Securities and Exchange Commission, New York Stock Exchange, and the National Association of Securities Dealers), as well as industry participants, continued to review and, in many cases, adopt changes to their established rules and policies in areas such as corporate governance, mutual fund trading, disclosure practices and auditor independence.

Statutory capital and surplus is the capital of our insurance companies reported in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the applicable state insurance departments. Risk-based capital (“RBC”) is a measure of an insurer’s solvency calculated using formulas and instructions from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”). State laws specify regulatory actions if an insurer’s ratio of statutory capital and surplus to RBC, falls below certain levels. The RBC formula for life companies establishes capital requirements for asset, interest rate, market, insurance and business risks. The RBC formula for property and casualty companies establishes capital requirements for asset and underwriting risks including reserve risk.

Such amounts were $9.7 billion and $12.1 billion at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company has provided, in the table above, the NAR as defined above. The Company believes that this definition is more representative of the potential economic exposures of these guarantees as the contractholders do not have access to this difference other than through annuitization.

See "Extraordinary Item." The fluctuations in income tax expense as a percentage of earnings before income taxes, including the extraordinary item, are attributable to the effect of state income taxes on the Company's wholly-owned underwritten title companies; a change in the amount and characteristics of net income, operating income versus investment income; and the tax treatment of certain items.

Loss Reserves for Watford Re are comprised of case reserves, ACRs and IBNR losses. For all business assumed by Watford Re, we act as reinsurance underwriting manager, provide actuarial and risk management services and recommend a level of Loss Reserves to Watford Re. We do not guarantee or provide credit support for Watford Re, and our financial exposure to Watford Re is limited to our investment in Watford Re’s common and preferred shares and counterparty credit risk (mitigated by collateral) arising from the reinsurance transactions. The estimation of Loss Reserves for Watford Re is subject to the same risk factors as the estimation of Loss Reserves for our underwriting operations as described earlier. Watford Re performs its own reserve reviews and sets its Loss Reserves independently.

The carrying amounts of financial assets that are not classified as “at fair value through profit or loss” (LAR, HTM, AFS) are regularly reviewed for impairment. If objective and substantial evidence indicates permanent impairment at the reporting date, the difference between cost and the recoverable amount is recognised as an impairment through profit or loss. An equity instrument is considered impaired if its fair value falls considerably or constantly below cost (see also Note 2.6, page 100). Debt instruments are impaired or sold if it is probable that not all amounts due under the contractual terms will be collectible. This usually happens when contractually agreed interest or redemption payments are stopped or are in arrears, if the debtor suffers from serious financial difficulties and / or if the rating falls below a specific threshold value. If, in order to avoid impairment, new conditions are negotiated for mortgages or loans, the mortgages or loans in question are still recognised in the balance sheet at amortised cost. For LAR and HTM financial investments, the recoverable amount at the reporting date is equivalent to the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the original interest rate. Impairments are booked using an allowance account. The impairment is reversed through profit or loss if a subsequent event causes a decrease in the impairment loss.

A 7% variation in the Company’s proportional premiums receivable, net as of December 31, 2012, after considering the related expected losses and loss expenses, acquisition expenses and taxes, would result in an impact of approximately $0.8 million on the Company’s net income.

We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes, nor do we engage in leveraged derivative transactions. Some of our derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges, fair value hedges or net investment hedges; however, other derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting or we elect not to designate them as an accounting hedge. We utilize a net investment hedge to mitigate foreign exchange exposure resulting from our net investment in Aflac Japan. In addition to designating derivatives as hedging instruments, we have designated our yen-denominated Samurai and Uridashi notes and yen-denominated loans as non-derivative hedging instruments for this net investment hedge.

Historically, we have managed our exposure to sub-prime RMBS holdings by focusing primarily on senior tranche securities, stress testing the portfolio with severe loss assumptions and closely monitoring the performance of the portfolio. Our sub-prime RMBS portfolio consists predominantly of securities that were purchased after 2012 at significant discounts to par value and discounts to the expected principal recovery value of these securities. The vast majority of these securities are investment grade under the NAIC designations (e.g., NAIC 1 and NAIC 2). The estimated fair value of our sub-prime RMBS holdings purchased since 2012 was $976 million and $1.2 billion at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, with unrealized gains (losses) of $65 million and $17 million at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of income, of shareholder’s equity, of comprehensive income and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Crum & Forster Holdings Corp., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited, and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform our audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. Our audit of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

At December 31, 2006 and 2005, we had separate accounts assets related to variable annuity and variable life contracts with account values totaling $16.17 billion and $15.24 billion, respectively. Equity risk exists for contract charges based on separate account balances and guarantees for death and/or income benefits provided by our variable products. In 2006, we disposed of substantially all of the variable annuity business through a reinsurance agreement with Prudential as described in Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements, and therefore mitigated this aspect of our risk. Equity risk of our variable life business relates to contract charges and policyholder benefits. Total variable life contract charges for 2006 and 2005 were $86 million and $79 million, respectively. Separate account liabilities related to variable life contracts were $826 million and $721 million in December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Also in December 2011, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that requires a reporting entity to follow the real estate sales guidance when the reporting entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary that is in-substance real estate as a result of a default on the subsidiary's nonrecourse debt. This guidance will be effective for us on January 1, 2013, and is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

The loss reserve development table indicates movements in loss reserves between 1995 and 2005, based on previously applied accounting standards, in accordance with IFRS 4. All contracts concerned are insurance contracts as defined by IFRS. The first row represents loss reserves recorded in the balance sheet in the year the loss occurred. The first section of the table entitled “Cumulative payments” details the cumulative amount of payments, at the end of each year, in relation to the initial reserve that was booked. The second part of the table entitled “Reserve reestimated ” gives the adjustment to the initial loss experience reserve at the end of each year. The final cost estimate varies as information relating to losses still outstanding becomes more reliable. The initial loss reserve at December 31, 1996 was €5,847 million. This reserve increased by €12,781 million to €18,628 million following the acquisition of UAP in 1997. At the end of 2005, cumulative payments totaled €12,473 million, and the initial loss reserve was re-estimated at €16,188 million at December 31, 2005. The surplus (shortfall) of the initial reserve with respect to the re-estimated gross final cost for each year represents the cumulative change in the initial loss reserve with respect to the reestimated final cost at December 31, 2005.

Modifications or enhancements made to an existing software product that result in additional functionality are also capitalized. When the new software is placed in production, we begin amortizing the asset over its estimated useful life. Training and maintenance costs are accounted for as expenses as they occur. We periodically review capitalized internal use software to determine if the carrying value is fully recoverable. If there are future cash flows directly related to the software we record an impairment loss when the present value of the future cash flows is less than the carrying value. If software, or components of software, in development are abandoned, the Company takes a charge to write off the capitalized amount in the period the decision is made to abandon it.

Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the dilutive effect of all stock options and other items outstanding during the period that could potentially result in the issuance of common stock. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, there were 3,797,548, 4,526,442, and 7,401,350, respectively, of stock options outstanding that were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation because they were antidilutive.

The discussion in this 2012 Form 10-K may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We intend for these forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions of the federal securities laws relating to forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include statements relating to trends in, or representing management’s beliefs about our future transactions, strategies, operations and financial results and often contain words such as “will,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “is targeting,” “may,” “should” and other similar words or expressions. Forward-looking statements are made based upon management’s current expectations and beliefs concerning trends and future developments and their potential effects on us. They are not guarantees of future performance. Our actual business, financial condition or results of operations may differ materially from those suggested by forward-looking statements as a result of risks and uncertainties which include, among others: (A) risks related to the Restatement, failure to file timely periodic reports with the SEC and our internal control over financial reporting, which include (i) the potential failure to remediate material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and other material weaknesses may be identified in the future, which would adversely affect the accuracy and timing of our financial reporting; (ii) the extraordinary processes undertaken to effect the Restatement may not have been adequate to identify and correct all errors in our historical financial statements and, as a result, we may discover additional errors and our financial statements remain subject to the risk of future restatement; (iii) our failure to have current financial information available;(iv) the risk of failure to comply with the filing deadlines included in the SEC’s Cease-and-Desist Order, dated March 21, 2014, including that the SEC may seek sanctions against or deregister PNX and the Company;(v) the risk of PNX’s failure to file its delayed SEC filings by March 16, 2015, the extended deadline for providing these delayed SEC filings to the bond trustee, as well as the risk associated with seeking additional consents from bondholders of its outstanding 7.45% Quarterly Interest Bonds Due 2032 regarding these delayed filings; (vi) the outcome of litigation and claims as well as regulatory examinations, investigations, proceedings and orders arising out of the Restatement and the failure by the Company and PNX to file SEC reports on a timely basis; (vii) further downgrades or withdrawals of our financial strength credit ratings, which could increase policy surrenders and withdrawals, adversely affect our relationships with distributors, reduce new sales, limit our ability to trade in derivatives and increase our costs of, or reduce our access to, future borrowings; (viii) our inability to hedge our positions due to our inability to replace hedges as a result of our credit rating; (ix) the incurrence of significant Restatement-related expenses; (x) diversion of management and other human resources attention from the operation of our business; (xi) the risk that the Company’s and Phoenix Life’s restatements, the delay in our filing of periodic reports with the SEC and errors corrected in subsequent Statutory financial statement filings with state insurance regulators could result in regulatory investigations, examinations and/or inquiries, which may increase compliance costs and the potential for additional regulatory investigations, proceedings or other claims; and (xii) risks associated with our failure to file certain reports with state regulatory authorities; (B) risks related to our business, which include (i) unfavorable general economic developments including, but not limited to, specific related factors such as the performance of the debt and equity markets; (ii) the potential adverse effect of interest rate fluctuations on our business and results of operations; (iii) the potential adverse effect of legal actions and proceedings inherent in our business on our results of operations, financial position, business or reputation; (iv) the impact on our results of operations and financial condition of any required increase in our reserves for future policyholder benefits and claims if such reserves prove to be inadequate; (v) the possibility that mortality rates, persistency rates, funding levels or other factors may differ significantly from our assumptions used in pricing products; (vi) limited access to external sources of liquidity and financing; (vii) the effect of guaranteed benefits within our products; (viii) potential exposure to unidentified or unanticipated risk that could adversely affect our businesses or result in losses; (ix) the consequences related to variations in the amount of our statutory capital could adversely affect our business; (x) the possibility that we may not be successful in our efforts to implement a business plan focused on new market segments; (xi) changes in our investment valuations based on changes in our valuation methodologies, estimations and assumptions; (xii) the availability, pricing and terms of reinsurance coverage generally and the inability or unwillingness of our reinsurers to meet their obligations to us specifically; (xiii) our ability to attract and retain key personnel in a competitive environment and while delayed in our SEC reporting obligations; (xiv) our dependence on third parties to maintain critical business and administrative functions; (xv) the strong competition we face in our business from banks, insurance companies and other financial services firms; (xvi) changes in tax law and policy may affect us directly or indirectly through the cost of, the demand for or profitability of our products or services; (xvii) the possibility that federal and state regulation may increase our cost of doing business, impose additional reserve or capital requirements, levy financial assessments or constrain our operating and financial flexibility; (xvii) regulatory actions or examinations may harm our business; and (xviii) changes in accounting standards; and (C) other risks and uncertainties described herein or in any of our filings with the SEC. Certain other factors which may impact our business, financial condition or results of operations or which may cause actual results to differ from such forward-looking statements are discussed or included in our periodic reports filed with the SEC and are available on our website at www.phoenixwm.com under “Investor Relations.” You are urged to carefully consider all such factors. We do not undertake or plan to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in plans, assumptions, estimates or projections, or other circumstances occurring after the date of this 2012 Form 10-K, even if such results changes or circumstances make it clear that any forward-looking information will not be realized. If we make any future public statements or disclosures which modify or impact any of the forward-looking statements contained in or accompanying this 2012 Form 10-K, such statements or disclosures will be deemed to modify or supersede such statements in this 2012 Form 10-K.

The Company no longer insures new credit derivative contracts except in transactions related to the restructuring or reduction of existing derivative exposure. As a result, premiums earned related to insured credit derivatives will decrease over time as exposure to such transactions declines. Realized losses on insured derivatives for the year ended December 31, 2009 resulted from the settlement of three CDO transactions and payments related to a multi-sector CDO transaction. Realized losses on insured derivatives for the year ended December 31, 2008 resulted from the settlement of all or a portion of four CDO transactions. Settlements in 2009 were $159 million for $1.3 billion of par outstanding compared with settlements in 2008 of $558 million for $2.7 billion of par outstanding.

The Group manages interest rate risk by managing the interest rate sensitivity of key rate exposures of its investment portfolio against the interest sensitivity of key rate exposures of liabilities issued. The key rate exposure of the liabilities is determined by projecting the expected cash flows from the contracts using best estimates of mortality, disability, expenses, surrender and exercise of policyholder options. The ALM process defines the strategic asset allocation optimising the net interest rate sensitivity of the investment and liability portfolios. To the extent that this is not practicable, swap contracts and other instruments are used to hedge interest rate risk. In certain markets receiver swaptions are used to hedge the risk of interest rates decreasing below guaranteed interest rates. Payer swaptions are used to hedge the risk of fair value changes of interest-sensitive financial assets. Strategically, a minimum interest rate risk will remain, since a perfect interest rate hedge can either not be achieved or would not be targeted.
