NEDNAMIBIA HOLDINGS LIMItED ANNUAL REPORt 2010<br />

STATUTorY ACtUARY’S REPORt<br />

TO THE mEmbERS OF NEDNAmIbIA LIFE ASSURANcE cOmPANY LImITED<br />

1. Financial Soundness<br />

I have conducted an actuarial valuation of NedNamibia Life<br />

Assurance company <strong>Limited</strong> in accordance with generally<br />

accepted actuarial principles. These principles require reasonable<br />

provision for future outgo under in-force policies, generally based<br />

on the assumption that current conditions will continue. Provision<br />

is therefore not made for all possible contingencies.<br />

The liability has been based on cash flow projections, on a per<br />

policy basis, using the assumptions contained in note 3 below.<br />

Excess assets 24,442,953 11,996,135<br />

The value of the assets, liabilities and excess assets on the Published<br />

Reporting basis are identical to the Statutory Reporting basis.<br />

2. Analysis of Change in Excess Assets<br />

The excess of the value of the assets over the liabilities has<br />

changed as follows over the reporting period.<br />

Analysis of Change in Excess Assets<br />

2010 2009<br />

Change in excess<br />

assets over the<br />

reporting period 12,446,818 5,655,017<br />

This change in excess assets is due to the following factors:<br />

Difference – –<br />

The excess assets on the Statutory (and Published) Reporting<br />

basis increased to N$12,446,818. This is an improvement from the<br />

previous year’s earnings of N$5,655,017. The increase in earnings<br />

is attributable to good expense and mortality experience, reducing<br />

expense and mortality assumptions and another strong year of<br />

new business flows.<br />

3. Changes in Valuation Methods or Assumptions<br />

The value of liabilities decreased by N$1,022,991 as a result of the<br />

renewal expense assumptions reducing from N$191,70 per annum<br />

to N$170 per annum. This assumption is reduced to reflect the<br />

expense basis that Nedgroup Life will use when administering this<br />

tranche of business after transfer in 2011.<br />

The value of the liabilities decreased by N$3,481,227 as a result of<br />

the mortality, morbidity and retrenchment assumptions reducing<br />

25%. claims have been small over the last two years and there is<br />

strong motivation to drop the assumptions despite a small cohort<br />

of data. The 25% reduction was asserted with the view that there<br />

may be scope to further decrease this over time as the statistical<br />

credibility grows.
