Attachment II<br />

Page 1<br />

The d<strong>at</strong>a used in the calcul<strong>at</strong>ion of the r<strong>at</strong>e level indic<strong>at</strong>ion was selected in accordance with the<br />

consider<strong>at</strong>ions listed in Section 3.2 of Actuarial Standard of Practice No. 23, D<strong>at</strong>a Quality. The<br />

calcul<strong>at</strong>ion of the r<strong>at</strong>e level indic<strong>at</strong>ion is consistent with the St<strong>at</strong>ement of Principles Regarding<br />

Property and Casualty <strong>Insurance</strong> R<strong>at</strong>emaking.<br />

A r<strong>at</strong>e level indic<strong>at</strong>ion is a test of the adequacy of expected revenues versus expected costs<br />

during the future policy period. Therefore, to derive the indic<strong>at</strong>ed r<strong>at</strong>e level need accur<strong>at</strong>ely,<br />

Allst<strong>at</strong>e's historical premium and loss experience needs to be adjusted. In accordance with<br />

Section 3.1 of Actuarial Standard of Practice No. 13, Trending Procedures in Property/Casualty<br />

<strong>Insurance</strong> R<strong>at</strong>emaking, Allst<strong>at</strong>e trends the underlying historical experience for premiums, losses,<br />

and fixed expenses to appropri<strong>at</strong>ely reflect historical and projected changes in these components<br />

of the r<strong>at</strong>e level indic<strong>at</strong>ions. In addition, historical premiums must be adjusted to reflect the<br />

current r<strong>at</strong>e level; and historical losses must be adjusted to reflect expected development over<br />

time and to smooth the actual losses due to c<strong>at</strong>astrophes. Details of these necessary adjustments<br />

to the historical d<strong>at</strong>a used in the r<strong>at</strong>e level indic<strong>at</strong>ion are described in this memorandum. The<br />

adjustments have been applied to <strong>Delaware</strong>’s premium and loss experience in deriving the<br />

indic<strong>at</strong>ed r<strong>at</strong>e level changes by coverage.<br />

The table below summarizes the indic<strong>at</strong>ed r<strong>at</strong>e change, and the actual r<strong>at</strong>e level change being<br />

proposed. The determin<strong>at</strong>ion of the overall indic<strong>at</strong>ed change is included in Attachment III,<br />

Exhibits 1.1-1.6, and described in detail throughout this filing.<br />
