Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as at <strong>and</strong> for the year ended 31 December 2007<br />

The opinion on the adequacy of liabilities for 2007<br />

- to be added when the test is carried out<br />

Liabilities as calculated using LAT as per<br />

31.12.2007 are lower than liabilities the Group<br />

recognised in its financial statements using its own<br />

methodology. The test has proven the adequacy of<br />

liabilities formed for life insurance contracts.<br />

The Group first adopted LAT for fiscal year 2006.<br />

expenses attributable to the unexpired periods of<br />

policies in force at the balance sheet date with the<br />

amount of unearned premiums in relation to such<br />

policies after. Expected cash flows relating to claims<br />

<strong>and</strong> expenses are estimated by reference to the<br />

experience during the expired portion of the contracts,<br />

adjusted for significant individual losses which are not<br />

expected to recur.<br />

2. Liability adequacy test for property <strong>and</strong> health<br />

amount for either 2007 or 2006.<br />

insurance<br />

The liability adequacy test for property insurance<br />

contracts is carried out for liabilities attributable to<br />

3.1.1 Estimate of future benefit payments <strong>and</strong><br />

premiums arising from long-term insurance contracts<br />

the unearned premium reserve <strong>and</strong> related DAC. <strong>We</strong><br />

consider that the formed liabilities for damages <strong>and</strong><br />

liabilities for bonuses <strong>and</strong> discounts are based on<br />

undiscounted test estimates of management using<br />

actuarial techniques are adequate so no further<br />

adequacy test is considered necessary.<br />

The liability adequacy test for property <strong>and</strong> health<br />

insurance was performed for all insurance liabilities.<br />

Insurance liabilities related to incurred <strong>and</strong> reported<br />

claims <strong>and</strong> incurred but not reported claims are<br />

calculated by using current assumptions <strong>and</strong> therefore<br />

represent the best estimation of the current liabilities<br />

from the insurance contracts.<br />

The liability adequacy test is therefore limited to the<br />

unexpired portion of existing contracts. It is performed<br />

by comparing the expected value of claims <strong>and</strong><br />

The determination of the liabilities under long-term<br />

insurance contracts is dependent on estimates<br />

made by the Group. Estimates are made as to the<br />

expected number of deaths for each of the years in<br />

which the Group is exposed to risk. The Group bases<br />

these estimates on st<strong>and</strong>ard industry <strong>and</strong> national<br />

mortality tables that reflect recent historical mortality<br />

experience, adjusted where appropriate to reflect the<br />

Group’s own experience. For contracts that insure<br />

the risk of longevity, appropriate but not excessively<br />

prudent allowance is made for expected mortality<br />

improvements. The estimated number of deaths<br />

determines the value of the benefit payments <strong>and</strong> the<br />

value of the valuation premiums. The main source<br />

of uncertainty is that epidemics such as AIDS, SARS<br />

<strong>and</strong> wide-ranging lifestyle changes, such as in eating,<br />

smoking <strong>and</strong> exercise habits, could result in future<br />

mortality being significantly worse than in the past for the<br />
