32 JUBILEE HOLDINGS ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 ST DECEMBER 2010 NOTES (continued) 4. Management of Insurance and Financial Risk (continued) Price risk The Group is exposed to equity securities price risk because of investments in quoted and unquoted shares classified either as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income or at fair value through profit or loss. The Group is not exposed to commodity price risk. To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity and debt securities, the Group diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with limits set by the Group. All quoted shares held by the Group are traded on the Nairobi Stock Exchange (NSE), the Uganda Securities Exchange (USE) and Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange (DSE). Group At 31 st December, 2010, if the NSE and USE indices had increased/ decreased by 8% with all other variables held constant and all the Group’s equity instruments moved according to the historical correlation to the index, the post-tax profit would have been Shs 32.2m lower/ higher and equity would have been Shs 441m higher/lower. Company At 31 st December, 2010, the Company did not hold any shares in the Nairobi Stock Exchange. If the USE indices had increased/decreased by 20% with all other variables held constant, all the companies equity instruments moved according to the historical correlation to the index, then equity movement would have been negligible. Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk Fixed interest rate financial instruments expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. Variable interest rate financial instruments expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. The Group’s fixed interest rate financial instruments are government securities, deposits with financial institutions and quoted corporate bonds. The Group’s variable interest rate financial instruments are some of the quoted corporate bonds – Barclays Bank Medium Term Loan. These are held to maturity thus do not expose the Group to interest rate risk The sensitivity analysis for interest rate risk illustrates how changes in the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates at the reporting date. For liabilities under long-term insurance contracts with fixed and guaranteed terms, changes in interest rate will not cause a change to the amount of the liability, unless the change is severe enough to trigger a liability adequacy test adjustment. The level of the reduction of the level of interest rate that will trigger an adjustment is an interest rate of 1%. An additional liability of Shs 81 million (2009 Shs 63 million) would be required as a result of a further worsening of 20% in mortality. Investment contracts with fixed and guaranteed terms, government securities and deposits with financial institutions held to maturity are accounted for at amortised cost and their carrying amounts are not sensitive to changes in the level of interest rates. Credit risk The Group has exposure to credit risk, which is the risk that a counterparty will be unable to pay amounts in full when due. Key areas where the Group is exposed to credit risk are: • Receivables arising out of direct insurance arrangements; • Receivables arising out of reinsurance arrangements; and • Reinsurers’ share of insurance liabilities Other areas where credit risk arises include cash and cash equivalents, corporate bonds and deposits with banks and other receivables. Reinsurance is used to manage insurance risk. This does not, however, discharge the Group’s liability as primary insurer. If a reinsurer fails to pay a claim for any reason, the Group remains liable for the payment to the policyholder. The credit worthiness of reinsurers is considered on an annual basis by reviewing their financial strength prior to finalisation of any contract. The exposure to individual counterparties is also managed by other mechanisms, such as the right of offset where counterparties are both debtors and creditors of the Group. Management information reported to the Group includes details of provisions for impairment on loans and receivables and subsequent write-offs. Internal audit makes regular reviews to assess the degree of compliance with the Group procedures on credit. Exposures to individual policyholders and groups of policyholders are collected within the ongoing monitoring of the controls associated with regulatory solvency. Where there exists significant exposure to individual policyholders, or homogenous groups of policyholders, a financial analysis equivalent to that conducted for reinsurers is carried out by the Group risk department. The Government of Kenya (GOK) has a long term rating of (B+) (stable) by Standard and poors. GOK has not defaulted on debt obligation in the past. The amount that best represents the Group’s and Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk at 31 st December, 2010 is made up as follows: Group Company Maximum exposure to credit risk before collateral held 2010 2009 2010 2009 Kshs ‘000 Kshs ‘000 Kshs ‘000 Kshs ‘000 Receivables arising out of reinsurance arrangements 889,477 683,526 - - Receivables arising out of direct insurance arrangements 835,299 1,033,698 - - Reinsurers’ share of insurance liabilities 2,633,592 1,687,819 - - Government securities at armortised cost 6,344,018 4,232,441 - - Commercial bond 1,111,380 305,243 - - Cash and bank balances 575,252 236,816 5,208 17,442 Loans on life insurance policies 213,994 196,324 - - Mortgage loans 40,161 51,236 - - Deposits with financial institutions 3,312,606 3,247,958 45,050 5,804 Other receivables 387,772 452,016 9 9 Totals 16,343,551 12,127,077 50,267 23,255 Surrender value of the life insurance policies and title documents are held as collateral for loans on life policies and mortgage loans respectively.

No collateral is held in respect of receivables arising out of direct or reinsurance arrangements. Receivables arising out of direct insurance arrangements individually impaired Of the total gross amount of impaired receivables, the following amounts have been individually assessed: Direct insurance arrangements Group 2010 2009 Individually assessed impaired receivables Kshs ‘000 Kshs ‘000 - brokers 91,706 118,274 - agents 21,317 52,686 - insurance companies 25,727 39,918 - direct clients 30,116 12,051 Total 168,866 222,929 Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group is unable to meet its payment obligations associated with its financial liabilities as they fall due and to replace funds when they are withdrawn. The Group is exposed to daily calls on its available cash for claims settlement and other administration expenses. The Group does not maintain cash resources to meet all of these needs as experience shows that a minimum level of reinvestment of maturing funds can be predicted with a high level of certainty. The Board sets limits on the minimum level of bank overdraft facilities that should be in place to cover expenditure at unexpected levels of demand. The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1. Instruments included in level 1 comprise primarily NSE equity investments classified as trading securities or available-for-sale. The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2. If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. JUBILEE HOLDINGS
