15. Risk management

Niger Insurance Plc recognizes the need for fast and efficient service delivery. At the same time,

necessary attention is given to risk management. The company‟s approach is to minimize risk

complexity whilst improving efficiency in the workplace.

Insurance risk

Niger Insurance underwrites both General and Life insurance businesses. The nature of risks

involved are the likelihood that the insured event may occur and the uncertainty of the magnitude of

the resulting claim.

To mitigate against these risks, Niger Insurance Plc has produced and issued a company-wide

underwriting manual, covering acceptance criteria, pricing, accumulation control and levels of

authority. The manual serves as a guide to the underwriters in accepting risks on the basis of

prudence, professionalism, objectivity and risk discrimination. Besides, adequate Reinsurance

Treaty have been put in place and reviewed annually to take account of changing retention profile.

- Page 8 -

Page 11: niger insurance audited dec 2012 - The Nigerian Stock Exchange

The company regularly trains and re-trains its underwriting staff to acquaint them with recent

developments in the risk bearing industry.

Besides, the company constantly reviews and controls risk quality and prudently applies policy

limits when the need arises. In addition, our Internal Control Unit monitors adherence to existing

guidelines via regular examination of the activities of various strategic business units.

Financial risks

Niger Insurance Plc is an active player in the economy. In the course of its operations, the

company uses various financial instruments including cash and its equivalents, bonds, equities and

trade debtors. Niger Insurance Plc is exposed to likely losses arising from market risk. Such risks

comprise fluctuations in interest rates, equity prices and rate of exchange of foreign currencies and

default in collection of receivables.

Niger Insurance Plc has developed a comprehensive financial management policy taking into

account the relevant regulatory investment guidelines. Appropriate manuals are provided detailing

administrative and accounting procedures. These manuals set out the framework for the investing

function and specify the conditions and benchmarks for the acceptable levels of exposure to credit,

currency and interest rate risks, etc.

Liquidity and credit risks

Liquidity or cashflow risk relate to the possibility that the company may encounter some difficulty

to mobilize funds to discharge its obligation to clients as and when the need arises.

Niger Insurance Plc‟s investment guidelines are formulated such that minimum levels of financial

assets are held in cash and cash equivalents with short maturity periods and easily convertible to

cash at short notice.

Credit risk refers to the likelihood that one party to a financial transaction may fail to fulfill its

obligation as and when due thereby causing the other party to a transaction to suffer financial loss.

Our company is exposed to credit risks through its investment in financial assets such as short-term

deposits, fixed interest securities and receivables.

Niger Insurance Plc‟s approach is to ensure that short-term deposits are placed with financial

institutions with high credit rating. Moreover, deposits are spread amongst high quality institutions

to avoid undue concentration on any one organization.

Credit risks associated with receivables are managed through a deliberate assessment of present and

potential clients to ensure their ratings meet with our set criteria for granting credit and making

necessary provision for doubtful and irrecoverable debts.

14. Auditors

Messrs Baker Tilly Nigeria (Chartered Accountants) have indicated their willingness to continue as

auditors in accordance with Section 357(2) of the Companies and Allied Matters Act Cap C20 LFN

2004. A resolution will be proposed to authorise the directors to fix their remuneration.

website at www.nigerinsurance.com, in the section under Financial Reports.

Description of Niger insurance plc

Niger insurance plc is a composite insurance company with branch network & managers nationwide. It

underwrites life and general business insurance policies.

The Company‟s mission is “to be a customer-oriented provider of superior insurance services which can

be broadly classified into life and pensions; general business and special risk; and miscellaneous

insurance business.”

It is one of the leading insurance companies in Nigeria with over 400 staff.

Legal constitution

The company was established in 1962 as an affiliate of Yorkshire insurance company (U.K.) and was then

known as Yorkshire Insurance Company Nigeria Limited, with the registered office at 47, Marina, Lagos.

Following the implementation of the indigenization Act 1976, the Federal Ministry of Finance through

the National Insurance Corporation of Nigeria (NICON), wholly acquired the company and its name was

changed to „The Niger Insurance Company Limited. As a result of privatization policy of the Federal

government, the company‟s shares were sold to the public in 1989 and its name changed to Niger

Insurance Plc.

Business strategy of the company and overall performance

The group is registered and incorporated in Nigeria and is primarily engaged in the underwriting of life

Page 13: niger insurance audited dec 2012 - The Nigerian Stock Exchange

Over the years, various strategies have been put in place to achieve the objectives such as networking by

expanding its distribution channels, products offering reappraisal, refocusing and managing the existing

talents to create value. The company also utilizes the development and deployment of electronic

platforms and facilities to all its regions and branches nationwide for quick and reliable service delivery.

The group has implemented the NAICOM directive on “NO PREMIUM, NO COVER” policy from the

1st of January, 2013. This policy aims to stimulate liquidity within the system by reducing the huge

receivables being carried on the statement of financial position of insurance companies. This will

positively impact the income statements of insurance companies by eliminating the large portion of

outstanding premium charge for the receivables and make available more cash which can be used to

generate more investment income.

Operating result, cashflow and financial condition

The entity„s critical performance measurement and indicators to evaluate the entity‟s performance against

stated objectives includes budgeting, ratio analysis and bench marking with industry average.

It is the company‟s plan to re-build and re-focus its investment portfolio by taking advantage of

opportunities in the fixed income securities for safe and guaranteed returns. The company is also

diversifying into oil and gas and telecommunications and other safe areas to grow its investment income.

financial statements.

audit opinion.

NIGER INSURANCE PLC

COMPANY INFORMATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER, 2012

1. General information

(a) Reporting Entity

Niger Insurance Plc („the Company‟) underwrites life and non-life insurance risks, such as those associated

with death, disability, health, property and liability. The Company also issues a diversified portfolio of

investment contracts to provide its customers with asset management solutions for their savings and retirement

needs. The company was incorporated in 1962 as an affiliate of Yorkshire Insurance Company (UK) and was

then known as Yorkshire Insurance Nigeria Limited. Following the implementation of the indigenisation Act

of 1976, the Federal Ministry of Finance through the National Insurance Corporation of Nigeria (NICON)

wholly acquired the company and the company‟s name was changed to Niger Insurance Company Limited. As

a result of the privatisation policy of the Federal Government, the company‟s shares were sold to the public in

1989 and its name changed to Niger Insurance Plc.

The address of its registered office is 48/50 Odunlami Street, Lagos. The Company has a primary listing on

the Nigerian Stock Exchange.

Nature of entity’s operation and its principal activities

The principal activities of the company are the underwriting of life and general insurance businesses, payment

of claims and investments as described below: -

• Underwriting

The company underwrites both life and general insurance businesses. Under the life business, it

underwrites both group life and individual life businesses whilst its general business includes motor

vehicles, marine and aviation, fire, accident and sundry policies generally classified under miscellaneous

insurance policies. The company also handles deposits administration business, which is of a savings

nature in respect of which guaranteed interest is paid to the beneficiaries.

• Claims

The company pays claims incurred as part of its insurance business and which consist of the claims and

claim handling expenses.

• Investments

Niger Insurance Plc engages in investments of its funds in properties as well as in listed and unlisted

stocks, bonds, treasury bills and other money market instruments in line with the provisions of the

Insurance Act 2003.

2. Going concern

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. The Group has no

intention or need to reduce substantially its business operations. The Management believes that a going

concern assumption is appropriate for the group due to sufficient capital adequacy ratio and projected

liquidity, based on historical experience that short-term obligations will be refinanced in the normal course of

business. Liquidity ratio and continuous evaluation of current ratio of the group is carried out by the group to

ensure that there are no going concern threats to the operations of the group.

- Page 16 -

Page 19: niger insurance audited dec 2012 - The Nigerian Stock Exchange

3. Basis of preparation

a) Statement of Compliance

The Group‟s first consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with International

Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB)

and with the interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee

(IFRIC) as adopted by the Federal Republic of Nigeria, through the Financial Reporting Council Act No.

6 of 2011.

The transition balances as at 1 January, 2011 and the comparative figures as at 31 December, 2011 have

been restated accordingly. The accounting policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented

in these consolidated financial statements.

The Company‟s functional and presentation currency is the Nigerian naira.

b) Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements,

estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of

assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and

underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in

the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the

revision and the future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

c) Basis of measurement

The company prepares its financial statements under the historical cost convention as modified by

the fair value and revaluation of its investments and buildings.

4. Explanation of transition to IFRS

a) Implementation of IFRSs

These are the Group‟s first consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International

Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The Group publishes comparative information for the year in its

financial statements. The date of transition to IFRSs is effectively, 1 January, 2011, which represents the start

of the earliest period of comparative information presented. The opening balance sheet as at 1 January, 2011

has been restated accordingly. The accounting policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented

in these consolidated financial statements, and have been applied consistently by Group entities.

Comparative information at 31 December, 2011 is restated to take account of the requirements of all standards

including IAS 32 – Financial instruments: Presentation, IAS 39 – Financial instruments: Recognition and

Measurement and IFRSs 7 – Financial Instruments: Disclosure effective 1 July, 2009.

The most significant IFRSs impact for the Group originated from the implementation of IAS 39 – Financial

instruments: Recognition and measurement which requires the valuation of financial assets and liabilities at

fair values and impairment of financial assets to only be accounted if there is objective evidence that a loss

event has occurred after initial recognition but before the balance sheet date, IAS 27 – Consolidated and

separate financial statements and SIC 12 – Consolidated, Special purpose entities which requires the

consolidation of the Group‟s interest in the staff share Investments Trust and IAS 1 Presentation of financial

statements and the change in recognition and measurement for life contracts from fund accounting method to

annual accounting method.

- Page 17 -

Page 20: niger insurance audited dec 2012 - The Nigerian Stock Exchange

The effect of the company‟s transition to IFRS is summarised as follows: -

i) Transition election;

ii) Explanation of material adjustments to cash and cash equivalents as at 1 January, 2011 and 31 December,

2011;

iii) Recognition of equity and comprehensive income as previously reported under Nigerian GAAP to IFRS;

iv) Adjustment to the statement of cash flows.

b) Transition election:

In preparing these financial statements in accordance with IFRS 1, the company has applied the mandatory

exceptions from full retrospective application of IFRS. The optional exemptions from full retrospective

application selected by the company are summarised below.

4.1. Transition elections

The IFRS 1 applicable exemptions and exceptions applied in the conversion from Nigerian GAAP to IFRS are

as follows:

Fair value or revaluation as deemed cost (IAS 16 and IAS 38)

An entity may elect to measure an item of property, plant and equipment, investment property or intangible

assets at the date of transition to IFRS at its fair value and use that fair value as its deemed cost at that date, or

may elect to use a previous GAAP revaluation of these assets at, or before, the date of transition to IFRS as

deemed cost at the date of the revaluation.

The Group has property, plant and equipment and the Company has elected to revalue its property plant and

equipment for the financial year ending 1 January, 2011 and the revalued amount represents the deemed cost

in the company‟s opening IFRS statement of financial position under IFRS.

4.1.1 Business combinations

The retrospective application of IFRS 3, (business combination) would require the restatement of all business

combination that occurred prior to the transition date. IFRS 1 provided an option not to apply IFRS 3

retrospectively to acquisition that occurred before the transition date.

The Company elected not to retrospectively apply IFRS 3, Business Combinations, to business combinations

that occurred prior to its Transition Date and such business combinations have not been restated.

4.1.2 Fair value of revaluation as deemed cost (IAS 16 and IAS 38)

An entity may elect to measure an item of property, plant and equipment, investment property or intangible

assets at the date of transition to IFRS at its fair value and use that fair value as its deemed cost at that date; or

may elect to use a previous GAAP revaluation of these assets at, or before, the date of transition to IFRS as

deemed cost at the date of the revaluation.

The Group has property, plant and equipment and the Company has elected to revalue its property plant and

equipment for the financial year ended 1 January, 2011 and the revalued amount represents the deemed cost in

the company‟s opening IFRS statement of financial position under IFRS.

4.1.3 Investments in subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities and associates (IAS 27)

Where a first-time adopter measures its investment in subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities and associates at

cost, it shall measure that investment in its separate opening IFRS statement of financial position either at cost

determined in accordance with IAS 27 or at deemed cost. The deemed cost for the first-time adopter shall be

the investment‟s fair value (determined in accordance with IAS 39) at the entity‟s date of transition to IFRS in

its separate financial statements or previous GAAP carrying amount at that date.

- Page 18 -

Page 21: niger insurance audited dec 2012 - The Nigerian Stock Exchange

The entity has adopted to measure its investments in its subsidiary in its separate opening IFRS statement of

financial position at cost determined in accordance with IAS 27.

4.1.4 Designation of previously recognised financial instruments (IAS 39)

IAS 39 permits a financial asset to be designated on initial recognition as available for sale or a financial

instrument (provided it meets certain criteria) to be designated as a financial asset or financial liability at fair

value through profit or loss. An entity is permitted to designate, at the date of transition to IFRSs, any

financial asset or financial liability as at fair value through profit or loss provided the asset or liability meets

the criteria in IAS 39 at that date.

Niger Insurance has designated its financial assets or financial liability as either, held to maturity, loans and

recoverable, available for sale, held for trading, fair value through profit and loss for those that meets the

criteria in IAS 39.

4.1.5 De-recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities

An entity is required to avoid retrospective application of de-recognition requirements in IAS 39 for

transactions entered into before 1 January, 2011.

4.2 Explanation of material adjustments to NGAAP as at 1 January, 2011 and 31 December, 2011

A quantitative explanation of how the transition to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) has

affected the reported financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the Group and the Parent is

provided in note 36. The note includes reconciliations of equity and profit or loss for comparative periods

reported under Nigerian GAAP (previously GAAP) to those reported for this period under IFRS.

5. New Standards and Amendments

(a) New standards and amendments issued but not effective for the financial year beginning 1 January,

2012 and not early adopted are as follows:-

New Standards

(i) IFRS 9- Financial instruments

IFRS 9 requires financial assets to be classified into two measurement categories: those measured at

fair value and those measured at amortised cost. The determination is made at initial recognition. The

classification depends on the entity‟s business model for managing its financial instruments and the

contractual cash flow characteristics of the instrument. For financial liabilities, the standard retains

most of the IAS 39 requirements. The main change is that, in cases where the fair value options is taken

for financial liabilities, the part of a fair value change due to an entity‟s own credit risk is recorded in

other comprehensive income rather than the income statement, unless this creates a qualitative

mismatch. The adoption of the first phase of IFRS 9 will have an effect on the classification and

measurement of the Company‟s financial assets, we will now have two main categories of financial

assets i.e. fair value and amortised cost (as opposed to the four categories prescribed by IAS 39 – fair

value through profit and loss, loans and receivables, held to maturity and available for sale financial

assets) but will potentially have no impact on classification and measurements of financial liabilities.

The Group intends to adopt IFRS 9 not later than the accounting period beginning 1 January, 2015.

(ii) IFRS 10- Consolidated financial statements

IFRS 10 introduces a single control to determine whether an investee should be consolidated. As a

result, a company may need to change its consolidation conclusion in respect of its investees, which

may lead to changes in the current accounting for these investees. The Group intends to adopt IFRS 10

not later than the accounting period beginning 1 January, 2013.

- Page 19 -

Page 22: niger insurance audited dec 2012 - The Nigerian Stock Exchange

(iii) IFRS 12- Disclosures of interests in other entities

This standard brings together into a single standard all the disclosure requirements about an entity‟s

interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities. IFRS 12

requires the disclosure of information about the nature, risks and financial effects of these interest. The

Group intends to adopt IFRS 12 not later than the accounting period beginning 1 January, 2013.

(iv) IFRS 13 – Fair value measurement

IFRS 13 provides a single source of guidance on how fair value is measured, and replaces the fair value

measurement guideline that is currently dispersed throughout IFRS. The Group is currently reviewing

its methodologies in determining fair values in line with this standard. The Group intends to adopt

IFRS 13 not later than the accounting period beginning 1 January, 2013.

Amendments

(v) IAS 27 as amended

IAS 27 as amended, is limited to accounting for investment in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates

in separate financial statements. The Group is yet to assess IAS 27‟s full impact and intends to adopt it

not later than the accounting period beginning 1 January, 2013.

The adoption of IFRS 10,12,13, and IAS 27 as amended has no material effect on the Company‟s accounting

policies.

(vi) Annual improvements 2011

These annual improvements, address six issues in the 2009- 2012 reporting cycle. It includes changes

to:

IFRS 1, „First time adoption‟

IAS 1, „Financial statement presentation‟

IAS 16, „Property plant and equipment‟

IAS 32, „Financial instruments, presentation‟

IAS 34, „Interim financial reporting‟

(b) The IASB and the IFRIC have published the following standards and interpretations, which were not

yet effective. The standards, amendments and interpretation are not expected to be relevant to the

group‟s operations:

IFRS II Joints arrangements 1 January, 2013

IAS 19 Amendment to IAS 19 employee benefit 1 January, 2013

IAS 28 Investments in associate and JV 1 January, 2013

IFRIC 20 Costing in the production phase of a surface mine 1 January, 2013

6. Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries

IFRS 1 allows the Group and the subsidiaries to adopt different dates for strategic or regulatory reasons. This

exemption allows a subsidiary to measure its assets and liabilities either at the carrying amounts included in its

parents consolidated IFRS financial statements or on the basis of IFRS 1 as applied to its statutory financial

statements at its own date of financial statements, these carrying amounts are adjusted, where relevant, to

exclude consolidation and acquisition adjustments. Goodwill on acquisition of associates is included in the

amount of the investment. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity is recognised in the income statement.

Page 23: niger insurance audited dec 2012 - The Nigerian Stock Exchange

7. Summary of significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are as set out below.

These policies have been applied consistently to all years presented, unless otherwise stated.

7.1 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and at bank, unrestricted balances held with Central Bank, call

deposits and short term highly liquid financial assets (including money market funds) with original maturities

of less than three months, which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in their fair value, and are used by

the company in the management of its short-term commitments.

7.2 Financial assets

i. Recognition

Financial assets are initially recognized at fair value, which includes transaction costs. Subsequent to initial

measurement, financial instruments are measured either at fair value or amortised cost, depending on their

classification.

ii. Classification

The Group classifies its financial assets into the following categories: available for sale, held to maturity

loans and receivables, and financial asset at fair value through profit and loss. The classification is

determined by management at initial recognition depending on the purpose for which the investments

were acquired.

a) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale investments are financial assets that are intended to be held for an indefinite period of time,

which may be sold in response to needs for liquidity or changes in interest rates, exchange rates or equity

prices or that are not classified as loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments or financial assets at fair

value through profit and loss. Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of available-

for-sale financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income while the investment is held and are

subsequently transferred to the income statement upon sale or de-recognition of the investment.

Interest income, calculated using the effective interest method, is recognised in the income statement.

Dividends received on available-for-sale instruments are recognised in income statement when the Company‟s

right to receive payment has been established.

b) Held-to-maturity financial assets

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and

fixed maturities that the Company‟s management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity.

Where the company sells more than an insignificant amount of held-to-maturity assets, the entire category

would be tainted and reclassified as available-for-sale assets and the difference between amortised cost and

fair value will be accounted for in equity.

- Page 21 -

Page 24: niger insurance audited dec 2012 - The Nigerian Stock Exchange

Interest on held-to-maturity investments are included in the income statement and are reported as „Interest and

similar income‟. Held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest

method. An impairment is reported as a deduction from the carrying value of the investment and recognised in

the income statement as „Net gains/(losses) on investment securities‟.

c) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not

quoted in an active market other than those that the Company intends to sell in the short term or that it has

designated as at fair value through profit and loss or available for sale.

Loans and receivables consist primarily of Staff loans and advances (which are managed in accordance with a

documented policy and information is provided internally on this basis), Agents and Brokers loans and loans

receivable from related parties which arise in the ordinary course of business. Loans and receivables are

measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.

d) Financial assets fair value through profit and loss

Financial assets designated as „at fair value through profit and loss‟ at inception are those that are:

Held in internal funds to match insurance and investment contracts liabilities, that are linked to the changes in

fair value of these assets. The designation of these assets to be at fair value through profit and loss eliminates

or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency (sometimes referred to as „an accounting

mismatch‟) that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognising the gains and losses

on them on different bases.

Information about these financial assets is provided internally on a fair value basis by the Company‟s key

management personnel. The Company‟s investment strategy is to invest in equity and debt securities and to

evaluate them with reference to their fair values. Assets that are part of these portfolios are designated upon

initial recognition at fair value through profit and loss .The fair values of quoted investments in active markets

are based on current bid prices. The fair values of unlisted securities, and unquoted investments for which

there is no active market, are established using valuation techniques corroborated by independent third parties.

These may include reference to the current fair value of other instruments that are substantially the same.

Interest earned and dividends received while holding trading assets at fair value through profit or loss are

included in net trading income. The group as at 31 December, 2012 do not have any financial assets

classified as fair value through profit and loss.

iii. Measurements of financial assets

The best evidence of the fair value of a financial assets on initial recognition is the transaction price, i.e. the

fair value of the consideration paid or received, unless the fair value is evidenced by comparison with other

observable current market transactions in the same instrument, without modification or repackaging, or based

on discounted cash flow models.

Subsequent to initial recognition, the fair values of financial instruments are based on quoted market prices or

dealer price quotations for financial instruments traded in active markets. If the market for a financial asset is

not active or the instrument is an unlisted instrument, the fair value is determined by using applicable

valuation techniques. These include the use of recent arm‟s length transactions, discounted cash flow analyses,

pricing models and valuation techniques commonly used by market participants.

- Page 22 -

Page 25: niger insurance audited dec 2012 - The Nigerian Stock Exchange

Where discounted cash flow analyses are used, estimated cash flows are based on management‟s best

estimates and the discount rate is a market-related rate at the balance sheet date from a financial asset with

similar terms and conditions.

Where pricing models are used, inputs are based on observable market indicators at the balance sheet date and

profits or losses are only recognised to the extent that they relate to changes in factors that market participants

will consider in setting a price.

iv. Reclassification of financial assets

Financial assets other than loans and receivables are reclassified out of the held for-trading category only in

rare circumstances arising from a single event that is unusual and highly unlikely to recur in the near-term. In

addition, the Company may choose to reclassify financial assets that would meet the definition of loans and

receivables out of the held-for-trading or available-for-

sale categories if the Company has the intention and ability to hold these financial assets for the foreseeable

future or until maturity at the date of reclassification.

Reclassifications are made at fair value at the reclassification date. Fair value becomes the new cost or

amortised cost as applicable, and no reversals of fair value gains or losses recorded before reclassification

date are subsequently made. Effective interest rates for financial assets reclassified to loans and receivables

and held-to-maturity categories are determined at the reclassification date. Further increases in estimates of

cash flows adjust effective interest rates prospectively.

v. Impairment of financial assets

(a) Financial assets carried at amortised cost

The Group assesses at the end of the reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial

asset or group of financial assets is impaired.

A financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is

objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that have occurred after the initial

recognition of the asset (a „loss event‟) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future

cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Objective evidence

that a financial asset or group of assets is impaired includes observable data that comes to the attention of the

Group about the following events:

Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor;

A breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in payments;

It becoming probable that the issuer or debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation;

The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties; or observable

data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flow from a group of financial

assets since the initial recognition of those assets, although the decrease cannot yet be identified with the

individual financial assets in the Group, including:– adverse changes in the payment status of issuers or

debtors in the Group; or national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on the assets in the

Group.

The Group first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that

are individually significant. If the Group determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an

individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial

assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment. Assets that are

individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues to be recognised are

not included in a collective assessment of impairment.

- Page 23 -

Page 26: niger insurance audited dec 2012 - The Nigerian Stock Exchange

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred on loans and receivables or held-to-

maturity investments carried at amortised cost, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between

the asset‟s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit

losses that have been incurred) discounted at the financial asset‟s original effective interest rate. The carrying

amount of the asset is reduced, and the amount of the loss is recognised in the income statement. If a held-to-

maturity investment or a loan has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss

is the current effective interest rate determined under contract. As is practically expedient, the Company may

measure impairment on the basis of an instrument‟s fair value using an observable market price.

For the purpose of a collective evaluation of impairment, financial assets are grouped on the basis of similar

credit risk characteristics. Those characteristics are relevant to the estimation of future cash flows for groups

of such assets by being indicative of the issuer‟s ability to pay all amounts due under the contractual terms of

the debt instrument being evaluated.

If in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related

objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment

loss is reversed by adjusting the assets. The amount of the reversal is recognised in the income statement.

(b) Assets classified as available for sale

The Group assesses at each date of the statement of financial position whether there is objective evidence that

a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. In the case of equity investments classified as

available for sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is an

objective evidence of impairment resulting in the recognition of an impairment loss. In this respect, a decline

of 10% or more is regarded as significant, and a period of 1 year or longer is considered to be prolonged. If

any such quantitative evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the asset is considered for

impairment, taking qualitative evidence into account. The cumulative loss – measured as the difference

between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on those financial assets

previously recognised in profit or loss – is removed from equity and recognised in the income statement.

Impairment losses recognised in the income statement on equity instruments are not reversed through the

income statement. If in a subsequent period the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available for sale

increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was

recognised in profit or loss, the impairment loss is reversed through the income statement.

vi. Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position only

when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on

a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

vii. Derecognition of financial instruments

The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire,

or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which

substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred, or has assumed an

obligation to pay those cash flows to one or more recipients, subject to certain criteria.

Any interest in transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Group is recognized as a separate

asset or liability. The Company derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are

discharged, cancelled or expired.

- Page 24 -

Page 27: niger insurance audited dec 2012 - The Nigerian Stock Exchange

7.3 Trade receivables

Trade receivables are receivable arising from insurance contract, these include amounts due from agents,

brokers and insurance contract holders.

They are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost less provision for

impairment. A provision for impairment is made when there is an objective evidence (such as the probability

of solvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtors) that the Group will not be able to collect all the

amount due under the original terms of the invoice. Allowance is made based on an impairment model which

consider the loss given default for each debtor, probability of default for the sectors in which the debtor

belongs and emergence period which serves as an impairment trigger based on the age of the debt. Impaired

debts are derecognised when they are assessed as uncollectible. If in a subsequent period the amount of the

impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the

impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed to the extent that the

carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversed date. Any subsequent reversal of

an impairment loss is recognised in the income statement.

7.4 Reinsurance assets

Contracts entered into by the Group with reinsurers under which the Group is compensated for losses on one

or more contracts issued by the Group and that meet the classification requirements for insurance contracts in

accounting policy 7.13 are classified as reinsurance contracts held. Contracts that do not meet these

classification requirements are classified as financial assets. Insurance contracts entered into by the Group

under which the contract holder is another insurer (inwards reinsurance) are included with insurance contracts.

Reinsurance assets consist of short-term balances due from reinsurers, as well as longer term receivables that

are dependent on the expected claims and benefits arising under the related reinsured insurance contracts.

Amounts recoverable from or due to reinsurers are measured consistently with the amounts associated with the

reinsured insurance contracts and in compliance with the terms of each reinsurance contract. Reinsurance

liabilities are primarily premiums payable for reinsurance contracts and are recognised as an expense when

due. The Group has the right to set-off re-insurance payables against amount due from re-insurance and

brokers in line with the agreed arrangement between both parties.

The Group assesses its reinsurance assets for impairment on a quarterly basis. If there is objective evidence

that the insurance asset is impaired, the Group reduces the carrying amount of the reinsurance asset to its

recoverable amount and recognises that impairment loss in the income statement. The Group gathers the

objective evidence that a reinsurance asset is impaired using the same process adopted for financial assets held

at amortised cost. The impairment loss is calculated using the incurred loss model for these financial assets.

These processes are described in accounting policy 7.2.

7.5. Deferred acquisition costs (DAC)

Commissions and other acquisition costs that are related to securing new contracts and renewing existing

contracts are capitalised as Deferred Acquisition Costs (DAC). All other costs are recognised as expenses

when incurred. The DAC is subsequently amortised over the life of the contracts in line with premium revenue

using assumptions consistent with those used in calculating future policy benefit liabilities.

7.6 Other receivables and prepayment

Other receivables and prepayment are recognised when due and at amortised cost less provision for

impairment. These include receivables from suppliers, rent receivables and prepayment and other receivable

other than those classified as trade receivable and loans and receivables.

If there is objective evidence that the receivable is impaired, the Group reduces the carrying amount of the

other receivable and prepayment accordingly and recognises that impairment loss in the income statement.

The Group gathers the objective evidence that an item of other receivable and prepayment is impaired using

- Page 25 -

Page 28: niger insurance audited dec 2012 - The Nigerian Stock Exchange

the same methodology adopted for financial assets held at amortised cost. The impairment loss is calculated

under the same method used for these financial assets. These processes are described in accounting policy

7.2.

7.7 Investment in subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies

generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of

potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the

group controls another entity.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group. They are de-

consolidated from the date on which control ceases.

The group uses the purchase method of accounting to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries. The cost of

an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities

incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Identifiable

assets acquired, liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially

at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest. The excess of the

cost of acquisition over the fair value of the group‟s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as

goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the

difference is recognised directly in the income statement.

Intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains on intra-group transactions are eliminated. Unrealised

losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.

7.8 Investment properties

Property held for long-term rental yields and(or) capital appreciation that is not occupied by the companies in

the Group is classified as investment property.

Investment property comprises freehold land and buildings. It is carried at fair values, adjusted if necessary,

for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. If this information is not available,

the Group uses alternative valuation methods such as discounted cash flow projections or recent prices in less

active markets. Gains/losses in the fair value of investment properties are recognised in the income statement.

These valuations are reviewed annually by an independent valuation expert. investment property under

construction that is being developed for continuing use as investment property are measured at cost.

Property located on land that is held under an operating lease is classified as investment property as long as it

is held for long-term rental yields and is not occupied by the companies in the consolidated Group. The initial

cost of the property shall be the fair value (where available), when not available the initial cost shall be used.

The property is carried at fair value after initial recognition.

If an investment property becomes owner-occupied, it is reclassified as property, plant and equipment, and its

fair value at the date of reclassification becomes its cost for subsequent accounting purposes.

If an item of property, plant and equipment becomes an investment property because its use has changed, any

difference arising between the carrying amount and the fair value of this item at the date of transfer is

recognised in other comprehensive income as a revaluation of property, plant and equipment. However, if a

fair value gain reverses a previous impairment loss, the gain is recognised in the income statement. Upon the

disposal of such investment property any surplus previously recorded in equity is transferred to retained

earnings net of associated tax; the transfer is not made through profit or loss.

- Page 26 -

Page 29: niger insurance audited dec 2012 - The Nigerian Stock Exchange

Properties could have dual purposes whereby part of the property is used for own use activities. The portion of a dual use

property is classified as an investment property only if it could be sold or leased out separately under a finance lease or if

the portion occupied by the owner is immaterial to the total lettable space. The group consider 10% of the lettable space

occupied by the owner as insignificant.

7.9 Deferred tax asset

Deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against

which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that

it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

7.10 Intangible assets

Computer software

Software acquired by the company is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.

Expenditure on internally developed software is recognised as an asset when the Company is able to demonstrate its

intention and ability to complete the development and use the software in a manner that will generate future economic

benefits, and can reliably measure the costs to complete the development. The capitalised costs of internally developed

software include all costs directly attributable to developing the software, and are amortised over its useful life.

Internally developed software is stated at capitalised cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment.

Subsequent expenditure on the software is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in

the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure is expensed as incurred.

Amortisation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of the software, from the

date that it is available for use. The estimated useful life of software is 3 years. This is reassessed annually.

7.11 Property, Plant and Equipment

(i) Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment comprise mainly outlets and offices occupied by the Group. They are carried at

cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the

acquisition of the asset.

Properties are measured at fair value less accumulated depreciation on leasehold land and building and impairment losses

recognised after the date of the revaluation. Valuation are performed on periodic basis to ensure that the fair value of the

assets does not differ materially from its carrying amount. Any revaluation surplus is recorded in other comprehensive

income and subsequently asset revaluation reserve in equity except to the extent that it reverses a revaluation deficit

earlier recognised on the same property in the income statement, in which case, the increase is recognised in the income

statement.

A revaluation deficit is recognised in the income statement, except to the extent that it reverses an existing surplus on the

same property in which case it is recognised in the other comprehensive income and subsequently in the asset revaluation

reserve in equity.

(ii) Subsequent costs

The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if

it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Company and its cost can be

measured reliably. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss

as incurred.

(iii) Depreciation

Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item

of property, plant and equipment. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives.

Depreciation begins when an asset is available for use and ceases at the earlier of the date that the asset is derecognised or

classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.

- Page 27 -

Page 30: niger insurance audited dec 2012 - The Nigerian Stock Exchange

Land is not depreciated, depreciation on the building and other items of property, plant and equipment is

calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost or re-valued amounts over their estimated useful

lives.

The depreciation rates used for the current and comparative period are as follows:

Leasehold building In equal instalments over the period of the lease

Freehold buildings 1% of cost/valuation

Furniture, fittings and equipment 12 ½% on cost

Motor vehicles 20% on cost

Computer hardware 33⅓ % on cost

The assets‟ residual values and useful lives are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted, if

appropriate. An asset‟s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset‟s

carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

(iv) De-recognition

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are

expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the

difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss

in the year the asset is derecognised.

7.11.1 Impairment of non-financial assets

The carrying amounts of the Company‟s non-financial assets other than deferred tax assets are reviewed at

each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists,

then the asset‟s recoverable amount is estimated.

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its

recoverable amount. A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable asset group that generates cash flows

that are largely independent from other assets and groups. Impairment losses are recognised in the income

statement. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the

carrying amount of any intangible asset allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the

other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis.

The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value

less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present

value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the

risks specific to the asset.

Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the

loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the

estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the

asset‟s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of

- Page 28 -

Page 31: niger insurance audited dec 2012 - The Nigerian Stock Exchange

depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. Reversals of impairment losses are

recognised in profit or loss.

7.12 Statutory deposit

Statutory deposit represents 10% of the paid up capital of the company deposited with the Central bank of

Nigeria (CBN) pursuant to Section 10(3) of the Insurance Act, 2003.

7.13 Insurance contracts

7.13.1 Classification of insurance contracts

The group classifies insurance contracts into life and non-life insurance contracts.

The Group issues contracts that transfer insurance risk or financial risk or both. Insurance contracts are those

contracts that transfer significant insurance risk. Such contracts may also transfer financial risk. As a general

guideline, the Group defines as significant insurance risk, the possibility of having to pay benefits on the

occurrence of an insured event that is at least 10% more than the benefits payable if the insured event did not

occur.

a) Life insurance contracts

These contracts insure events associated with human life (for example, death or survival) over a long duration.

b) General business insurance contracts

These contracts are accident and casualty and property insurance contracts

Accident and casualty insurance contracts protect the Group‟s customers against the risk of causing harm to

third parties as a result of their legitimate activities. Damages covered include both contractual and non-

contractual events. The typical protection offered is designed for employers who become legally liable to pay

compensation to injured employees (employers‟ liability) and for individual and business customers who

become liable to pay compensation to a third party for bodily harm or property damage (public liability).

Property insurance contracts mainly compensate the Group‟s customers for damage suffered to their properties

or for the value of property lost. Customers who undertake commercial activities on their premises could also

receive compensation for the loss of earnings caused by the inability to use the insured properties in their

business activities (business interruption cover).

Non-life insurance contracts protect the Group‟s customers from the consequences of events (such as death or

disability) that would affect the ability of the customer or his/her dependants to maintain their current level of

income. Guaranteed benefits paid on occurrence of the specified insurance event are either fixed or linked to

the extent of the economic loss suffered by the policyholder. There are no maturity or surrender benefits.

7.13.2 Recognition and measurement of insurance contracts

a) Insurance contract liabilities

Technical reserves

These are computed in compliance with the provisions of Section 20, 21 and 22 of the Insurance Act 2003 as

follows: -

i) General business

Reserves for unearned premium

In compliance with Section 20 (1) (a) of Insurance Act 2003, the reserve for unearned premium is calculated

on a time apportionment basis in respect of the risks accepted during the year.

- Page 29 -

Page 32: niger insurance audited dec 2012 - The Nigerian Stock Exchange

Reserves for outstanding claims

The premium for unexpired risk represents the net liabilities on policies in force as computed by the actuaries

at the time of the actuarial valuation.

The reserve for outstanding claims is maintained at the total amount of outstanding claims incurred and

reported plus claims incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) as at the balance sheet date. The IBNR is based on

the liability adequacy test.

Reserves for unexpired risk

A provision for additional unexpired risk reserve (AURR) is recognised for an underwriting year where it is

envisaged that the estimated cost of claims and expenses would exceed the unearned premium reserve (UPR).

ii) Life business

General reserve fund

This is made up of net liabilities on policies in force as computed by the actuaries at the time of the actuarial

valuation.

iii) Liability adequacy test

At the end of each reporting period, liability adequacy tests are performed to ensure the adequacy of the

contract liabilities net of related Deferred Acquisition Cost (DAC) assets. In performing these tests, current

best estimates of future contractual cash flows and claims handling and administration expenses, as well as

investment income from the assets backing such liabilities, are used. Any deficiency is immediately charged to

profit or loss initially by writing off DAC and by subsequently establishing a provision for losses arising from

liability adequacy tests (the unexpired risk provision).

b) Insurance contract revenue and expenses

i. Premium

General business

In the non-life insurance business, the company offers fire, general accident, workmen compensation, marine

and aviation, engineering all risk, credit and goods in transit policies or insurance undertaking services.

Gross written premiums comprise the premiums on insurance contracts entered into during the year,

irrespective of whether they relate in whole or in part to a later accounting period. Premiums are disclosed

gross of commission to intermediaries. Premiums written include adjustments to premiums written in prior

accounting periods.

Premiums on reinsurance inward are included in gross written premiums and accounted for as if the

reinsurance was considered direct business, taking into account the product classification of the reinsured

business.

Outward reinsurance premiums are accounted for in the same accounting period as the premiums

for the related direct insurance or reinsurance business assumed. The earned portion of premiums received is

recognized as revenue. Premiums are earned from the date of attachment of risk, over the

indemnity period, based on the pattern of risk underwritten. Outward reinsurance premiums are recognized as

an expense in accordance with the pattern of indemnity received.

- Page 30 -

Page 33: niger insurance audited dec 2012 - The Nigerian Stock Exchange

Life business

Premiums are recognised as revenue when they become payable by the contract holders. Premium are shown

before deduction of commission.

ii) Salvages

Some non-life insurance contracts permit the Group to sell (usually damaged) property acquired in the process

of settling a claim. The Group may also have the right to pursue third parties for payment of some or all costs

of damages to its clients property (i.e. subrogation right).

Salvage recoveries are used to reduce the claim expense when the claim is settled.

iii) Subrogation

Subrogation is the right for an insurer to pursue a third party that caused an insurance loss to the insured. This

is done as a means of recovering the amount of the claim paid to the insured for the loss. A receivable for

subrogation is recognised in other assets when the liability is settled and the company has the right to receive

future cash flow from the third party.

iv) Claims

Claims and other benefits are recorded as an expense when they are incurred for both life and non-life

business.

7.14 Investment contracts liabilities

Investment contracts are those that transfer financial risk with no significant insurance risk. Investment

contracts can be classified into interest linked and un-utilized fund. Interest linked investment contracts are

measured at amortised cost while unutilised funds are measured at fair value.

Investment contracts with guaranteed returns (interest linked) and other business of a savings nature are

recognised as liabilities. Interest accruing to the life assured from investment of the savings is recognised in

the income statement in the year it is earned while interest paid and due to depositors is recognised as an

expense. The net result of the deposit administration revenue account is transferred to the income statement of

the group.

7.15 Borrowings

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are

subsequently stated at amortised cost, any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the

redemption value is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective

interest method.

Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction cost of the loan to the extent that

it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw

down occurs. To the extent that there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be

drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the

facility to which it relates.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the group has an unconditional right to defer settlement

of the liabilities for at least 12 month after the date of the statement of financial position.

- Page 31 -

Page 34: niger insurance audited dec 2012 - The Nigerian Stock Exchange

7.15.1 Borrowing costs.

Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction and production of a qualifying

asset are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset over the period up to the time such asset is substantially

ready for its intended use. Other borrowing cost are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are

incurred. When the carrying amount or the expected ultimate cost of the qualifying asset exceeds its

recoverable amount or net realisable value, the carrying amount is written down or written off. Investment

income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying

assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

7.16 Trade payables

Trade payable are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective

interest method. The fair value of a non-interest bearing liability is its discounted repayment amount. If the

due date of the liability is less than one year discounting is omitted.

7.17 Provisions and other payables

i. Provisions

A provision is recognized only if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive

obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be

required to settle the obligation. The provision is measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to

settle the obligation at the reporting date.

Provisions are normally made for restructuring costs and legal claims.

ii. Restructuring

A provision for restructuring is recognised when the company has approved a detailed and formal

restructuring plan and the restructuring plan has either commenced or been formally communicated.

iii. Onerous Contracts

A provision for onerous contracts is recognised when the expected benefits to be derived by the company from

a contract are lower than unavoidable costs of meeting obligations under the contract. The provision is

measured at the present value of the lower of expected costs of terminating the contract and the expected costs

of continuing the contract. Before a provision is established, the company recognises any impairment loss on

the assets associated with that contract.

v) Deferred income

Deferred income represent a proportion of commission received on reinsurance contracts which are booked

during a financial year and are deferred to the extent that they are recoverable out of future revenue margins.

It is calculated by applying to the reinsurance commission income the ratio of prepaid reinsurance to

reinsurance cost.

7.18 Income tax expense

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognised in the income

statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is

recognised in equity or in other comprehensive income.

- Page 32 -

Page 35: niger insurance audited dec 2012 - The Nigerian Stock Exchange

Current income tax is the estimated income tax payable on taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted

or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous

years.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised where the carrying amount of an asset or liability differs from

its tax base. Deferred taxes are recognized using the balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary

differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the

amounts used for taxation purposes (tax bases of the assets or liability). The amount of deferred tax provided

is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities

using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Additional income taxes that arise from the distribution of dividends are recognised at the same time as the

liability to pay the related dividend is recognised.

7.19 Share capital

Shares are classified as equity when there is no obligation to transfer cash or other assets.

7.20 Share premium reserve

Share premium reserve represent surplus on the per value price of share issued. Incremental costs directly

attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity (short premium reserve) as a deduction.

7.21 Contingency reserve

a) General business

In compliance with Section 21(2) of Insurance Act 2003, the contingency reserve is credited with the greater

of 3% of total premiums, or 20% of the net profits. This shall accumulate until it reaches the amount of

greater of minimum paid-up capital or 50 percent of net premium.

b) Life business

In compliance with Section 22(1) (b) of Insurance Act 2003, the contingency reserve is credited with the

higher of 1% of gross premiums or 10% of net profit.

7.22 Asset revaluation reserve

The reserve represents revaluation surplus on the Group revalued items of property, Plant and Equipment, the

surplus is recognised net of tax through the statement of other comprehensive income.

7.23 Fair value reserve

Fair value reserve represent fair value gain on available for sale financial asset that do not reserve any

previous loss on such asset. The fair value gain is recognised net of tax through the other comprehensive

income statement.

7.24 Contingent liabilities and assets

i) Contingent liabilities

A contingent liability is disclosed, unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic

benefits is remote. Where the company is jointly and severally liable for an obligation, the part of the

obligation that is expected to be met by other parties is treated as a contingent liability. The entity recognises a

- Page 33 -

Page 36: niger insurance audited dec 2012 - The Nigerian Stock Exchange

provision for the part of the obligation for which an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is

probable, except in the extremely rare circumstances where no reliable estimate can be made. Contingent

liabilities are assessed continually to determine whether an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits

has become probable. If it becomes probable that an outflow of future economic benefits will be required for

an item previously dealt with as a contingent liability, a provision is recognised in the financial statements of

the period in which the change in probability occurs except in the extremely rare circumstances where no

reliable estimate can be made.

ii) Contingent assets

Contingent assets arising from unplanned or other unexpected events giving rise to the possibility of an inflow

of economic benefits are disclosed in the financial statements. Contingent assets are assessed continually to

ensure that developments are appropriately reflected in the financial statements. If it has become virtually

certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise, the asset and the related income are recognised in the

financial statements of the period in which the change occurs. If an inflow of economic benefits has become

probable, an entity discloses the contingent asset.

7.25 Revenue recognition

Revenue comprises the fair value for services, net of value-added tax, after eliminating revenue within the

Group Revenue is recognised as follows: -

a) Gross premium

Gross recurring premiums on life are recognised as revenue when payable by the policyholder. For single

premium business, revenue is recognised on the date on which the policy is effective.

Gross general insurance written premiums comprise the total premiums receivable for the whole period of

cover provided by contracts entered into during the accounting period. They are recognised on the date on

which the policy commences. Premiums include any adjustments arising in the accounting period for

premiums receivables in respect of business written in prior accounting periods. Rebates that form part of the

premium rate, such as no-claim rebates, are deducted from the gross premium; others are recognised as an

expense. Premiums collected by intermediaries, but not yet received, are assessed based on estimates from

underwriting or past experience and are included in premiums written.

Unearned premiums are those proportions of premiums written in a year that relate to periods of risk after the

reporting date. Unearned premiums are calculated on a daily pro-rata basis. The proportion attributable to

subsequent periods is deferred as a provision for unearned premiums.

b) Rendering of services: Revenue arising from asset management and other related services offered by the

Group are recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered. Fees consist primarily of

investment management fees arising from services rendered in conjunction with the issue and management of

investment contacts where the Group actively manages the consideration received from its customers to fund a

return that is based on the investment profile that the customer selected on origination of the instrument.

These services comprise the activity of trading financial assets and derivatives in order to reproduce the

contractual returns that the Group‟s customers expect to receive from their investments. Such activities

generate revenue that is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contractual reserves.

- Page 34 -

Page 37: niger insurance audited dec 2012 - The Nigerian Stock Exchange

In all cases, these services comprise an indeterminate number of acts over the life of the individual contracts.

For practical purposes, the Group recognises these fees on a straight-line basis over the estimated life of the

contract. Certain upfront payments received for asset management services („front-end fees‟) are deferred and

amortised in proportion to the stage of completion of the service for which they were paid.

The Group charges its customers for asset management and other related services using the following different

approaches: Front-end fees are charged to the client on inception. This approach is used particularly for

single premium contracts. The consideration received as a liability and recognised over the life of the contract

on a straight-line basis: and Regular fees are charged to the customer periodically (monthly, quarterly or

annually) either directly or by making a deduction from invested funds. Regular charges billed in advance are

recognised on a straight-line basis over the billing period; fees charged at the end of the period are accrued as

a receivable that is offset against the financial liability when charged to the customer.

c) Fees and commission

Insurance and investment contract policyholders are charged for policy administration services, investment

management services, surrenders and other contract fees. These fees are recognised as revenue over the

period in which the related services are performed. If the fees are for services provided in future periods, then

they are deferred and recognised over those future periods.

Investment income

Interest income is recognised in the income statement as it accrues and is calculated by using the effective

interest rate method. Fees and commissions that are an integral part of the effective yield of the financial asset

or liability are recognised as an adjustment to the effective interest rate of the instrument.

Investment income also include dividends when the right to receive payment is established. For listed

securities, this is the date the security is listed as exdidivend.

Realized gains and losses

Realised gains and losses recorded in the income statement on investments include gain and losses on

financial assets and investment properties. Gains and losses on the sale of investments are calculated as the

difference between net sales proceeds and the original or amortised cost and are recorded on occurrence of the

sale transaction.

d) Dividend income

Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive income is established. Dividends are reflected as a

component of net trading income, net income on other financial instruments at fair value or other operating

income depending on the underlying classification of the equity instrument.

e) Interest

Interest income and expense for all interest bearing financial instruments, except for those classified at fair

value through profit or loss, are recognised within „interest income‟ and „interest expense‟ in the income

statement using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts the

estimated future cash payments and receipts through the expected life of the financial asset or liability (or,

where appropriate, a shorter period) to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or liability. The effective

interest rate is calculated on initial recognition of the financial asset and liability and is not revised

subsequently.

- Page 35 -

Page 38: niger insurance audited dec 2012 - The Nigerian Stock Exchange

The effective interest rate includes all fees paid or received, transaction costs, and discounts or premiums that

are an integral part of the effective interest rate. Transaction costs are incremental costs that are directly

attributable to the acquisition, issue or disposal of a financial asset or liability. Interest income and expense on

all trading assets and liabilities are considered to be incidental to the company‟s trading operations and are

presented together with all other changes in the fair value of trading assets and liabilities in net trading

income. Interest income and expense presented in the income statement include interest on financial assets and

liabilities at amortised cost on an effective interest rate basis.

Fair value changes on other financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss, are

presented in net income from other financial instruments and carried at fair value in the income statement.

f) Net trading income

Net trading income comprises gains less losses related to trading assets and liabilities, and includes all realised

and unrealised fair value changes, interests, dividends and foreign exchange differences.

g) Net income from other financial instruments at fair value

Net income from other financial instruments at fair value relates to non-qualifying financial assets and

liabilities designated as „at fair value through profit or loss‟ and includes all realised and unrealised fair value

changes, interest, dividends and foreign exchange differences.

h) Other operating revenues

This comprises revenue earned by the company during the year that is directly from insurance operation and

not accounted for under any other separate leads on the financial statements.

7.26 Benefit, claims and expenses recognition

Gross benefits and claims

Gross benefits and claims for life insurance contracts include the cost of all claims arising during the year,

including internal and external claims handling costs that are directly related to the processing and settlement

of claims. Changes in the gross valuation of insurance are also included.

Death claims and surrenders are recorded on the basis of notifications received. Maturities and annuity

payments are recorded when due. General insurance claims include all claims occurring during the year,

whether reported or not, related internal and external claims handling costs that are directly related to the

processing and settlement of claims, a reduction for the value of salvage and other recoveries, and any

adjustments to claims outstanding from previous years.

7.27 Reinsurance expenses

Reinsurance cost represents outward premium paid to reinsurance companies less the unexpired portion as at

the end of the accounting year.

7.28 Investment income and expenses

Investment income and expenses for all interest-bearing financial instruments including financial instrument

measured at fair value through profit or loss, are recognised within investment income and finance cost in the

income statement using the effective interest rate method. When a receivable is impaired, the Group reduces

the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flow discounted at the original

effective interest rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as interest income.

- Page 36 -

Page 39: niger insurance audited dec 2012 - The Nigerian Stock Exchange

7.29 Underwriting expenses

Underwriting expenses comprise acquisition costs and other underwriting expenses. Acquisition costs

comprise all direct and indirect costs arising from the writing of insurance contracts. Examples of these costs

includes, but are not limited to, commission expense, supervisory levy, supervising fees and other technical

expenses. Other underwriting expenses are those incurred in servicing existing policies/contract. These

expenses are charged in the income statement.

7.30 Deficits and surpluses on actuarial valuation

Actuarial valuation of the life fund is conducted every year to determine the net liabilities on the existing

policies and the adequacy of the assets representing the insurance fund as at the date of valuation. All deficits

arising therefrom are charged to the income statement while the surplus is appropriated to the shareholders

and credited to the income statement.

7.31 Management expenses

Management expenses are expenses other than claims, investment expenses, employee benefits, expenses for

marketing and administration and underwriting expenses. They include wages, professional fee, depreciation

expenses and other non-operating expenses. Other Operating expenses are accounted for on accrual basis and

recognised in the income statement upon utilization of the service or at the date of their origin.

7.32 Employees Benefit

Pension obligations:

The Group operates a defined contribution plan. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the

group pays fixed contributions to a separate entity. The group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay

further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to

employee service in the current and prior periods. For defined contribution plans, the group makes

contributions on behalf of qualifying employees to a mandatory scheme under the provisions of the Pension

Reforms Act of 2004. The group has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid.

The contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions are

recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.

7.33 Dividend on ordinary shares

Dividends on the Company‟s ordinary shares are recognised in equity in the period in which they are paid or,

if earlier, approved by the Company‟s shareholders.

Dividends for the year that are declared after the date of the statement of financial position are dealt with in

the subsequent events note.

7.34 Earnings per share

The Company presents basic earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by

dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average

number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or

loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for

the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

7.35 Hypothecation of assets

The company hypothecates its life and non-life business assets into those belonging to the policy holders,

other creditors and shareholders fund in accordance with section 26(i) of the Insurance Act/SC1.10E(3)

operational guideline.

7.36. Segment Reporting

A business segment is a group of assets and operations engaged in providing products or services that are

subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other business segments. A geographical segment is

engaged in providing products or services within a particular economic environment that are subject to risks

and returns that are different from those of segments operating in other economic environments. Segment

results, assets and liabilities include items directly attributable to segment as well as those that can be

allocated on a reasonable basis.

For Niger Insurance Plc, no geographical segment information is reported as the company‟s primary

geographical segment is Nigeria. Business segment is presented in respect of the Company‟s life and non-life

businesses and is based on the company‟s management and reporting structure.

7.37 Foreign Currency Translation

i. Transactions and balances:

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at

the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such

transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated

in foreign currencies are recognised in the income statement.

Translation differences on non-monetary items, such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss, are

reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on non-monetary items, such as equities

classified as available-for-sale financial assets, are included in the fair value reserve in equity.

7.38 Leases

i. Where the company is the lessee

Leases, in respect of which the company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are

classified as finance leases. At the beginning of the lease term, the leased asset is measured at an amount equal

to the fair value of the leased asset less the present value of unguaranteed or partially guaranteed residual

value which would accrue to the lessor at the end of the term of the lease. Subsequent to initial recognition,

the asset is accounted for in accordance with the policy applicable to that asset.

Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense and the

reduction of outstanding liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period during the lease term so as

to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

Contingent lease payments are accounted for by revising the minimum lease payments over the remaining

term of the lease when the lease adjustment is confirmed.

- Page 38 -

Page 41: niger insurance audited dec 2012 - The Nigerian Stock Exchange

Other leases are classified as operating leases and are not recognised in the company‟s balance sheet.

Payments made under operating leases are recognised in the income statement on a straight line basis over the

term of the lease.

ii. When the company is the lessor

The Group does not lease out its fixed assets and as such are not lessors.

8. Risk and capital management framework

a. Government framework

The main objective of the company‟s risk management structure is to protect the company‟s shareholders from

the adverse effects of events that hinder the sustainable achievement of financial performance objective,

including failing to exploit opportunities. Key management recognises the critical importance of having

efficient and effective risk management systems in place.

The company has established a risk management function with clear terms of reference from the board of

directors, its committee and the associated executive management committees.

This is supplemented with a clear organisational structure with documented delegated authorities and

responsibilities from the board of directors to executive management committees and senior managers.

Lastly, a company policy framework which sets out the risk profiles for the company, risk management,

control and business conduct standards for the company‟s operations has been put in place. Each policy has a

member of senior management charged with overseeing compliance with the policy through the company.

The board of directors approves the company risk management policies and meets regularly to approve any

commercial, regulatory and organisational requirements of such policies. These policies define the company‟s

identification of risk and its interpretation, limit structure to ensure the appropriate quality and diversification

of assets, align underwriting and reinsurance strategy to the corporate goals and specify reporting

requirements.

b. Capital management objectives, policies and approach

The company has established the following capital management objectives, policies and approach to

managing the risks that affect its capital position.

▪ to maintain the required level of stability of the company thereby providing a degree of security to

policyholders

▪ to maintain the required level of stability of the company thereby providing a degree of security to

policyholders

▪ to allocate capital efficiently and support the development of business by ensuring that returns on

capital employed meet the requirements of its capital providers and of its shareholders.

▪ to retain financial flexibility by maintaining strong liquidity and access to a range of capital markets.

▪ to align the profile of assets and liabilities taking account of risks inherent in the business.

▪ to maintain financial strength to support new business growth and to satisfy the requirements of the

policyholders, regulators and stakeholders.

▪ to maintain strong credit ratings and healthy capital ratios in order to support its business objectives

and maximise shareholders value.

In reporting financial strength, capital and solvency are measured using the rules prescribed by the National

Insurance Commission. These regulatory capital tests are based upon required levels of solvency, capital and

a series of prudent assumptions in respect of the type of business written.

- Page 40 -

Page 43: niger insurance audited dec 2012 - The Nigerian Stock Exchange

Agreement to capital management

The company seeks to optimise the structure and source of capital to ensure that it consistently maximises

returns to the shareholders and policyholders.

The company‟s approach to managing capital involves managing assets, liabilities and risks in a coordinated

way, assessing shortfall between reported and required capital levels on a regular basis and taking appropriate

action to influence the capital position of the company in the light of changes in economic conditions and risk

characteristics.‟

The primary source of capital used by the company is equity shareholders‟ funds and borrowings.

The company has had no significant changes in its policies and processes to its capital structure during the

past year from previous years.

The adjustments onto a regulatory basis represent assets inadmissible for regulatory reporting purposes.

NAICOM measures the financial strength of non-life insurers using a solvency margin model. It generally

expects non-life insurers to comply with this capital adequacy requirement.

Section 24 of the Insurance Act 2003 define solvency margin of a non-life insurer as the difference between

the admissible assets and liabilities and this shall not be less than 15% of the net premium income (Gross

Premium Income less Reinsurance Premium paid) of the minimum capital base (3 billion) whichever is

higher.

This test comprises insurers‟ capital against the risk profile. The regulator indicated that insurers should

produce a minimum solvency margin of 100%. During the year, the Group has consistently exceeded this

minimum. The regulator has the authority to request more extensive reporting and can place restrictions on

the Group‟s operations if the Group falls below this requirements.

Regulatory framework

Regulators are mainly interested in protecting the rights of policyholders and monitor them closely to ensure

that the company is satisfactorily managing affairs for their benefit. At the same time, regulators are also

interested in ensuring that the company maintains an appropriate solvency position to meet unforeseen

liabilities arising from economic shocks or natural disasters.

The operation of the company are subject to regulatory requirements within the jurisdictions in which it

operates. Such regulations not only prescribe approval and monitoring of activities, but also impose certain

restrictive provisions (e.g. capital adequacy) to minimise the risk of default and insolvency on the part of

insurance companies to meet unforeseen liabilities as these arise.

Insurance and financial risk

Insurance risk

The principal risk of the company faces under insurance contracts is that the actual claims and benefit

payments or the timing thereof, differ from expectations. This is influenced by the frequency of claims,

severity of claims, actual benefits paid and subsequent development of long-term claims. Therefore, the

objective of the company is to ensure that sufficient reserves are available to cover these liabilities.

- Page 42 -

Page 45: niger insurance audited dec 2012 - The Nigerian Stock Exchange

The risk exposure is mitigated by diversification across a large portfolio of insurance contracts and

geographical areas. The variability of risks is also improved by careful selection and implementation of

underwriting strategy guidelines, as well as the use of reinsurance arrangements.

The company purchases reinsurance as part of its risk mitigation programme. Reinsurance ceded is placed on

both a proportional and non-proportional basis. The majority of proportional reinsurance is quota-share

reinsurance which is taken out to reduce the overall exposure of the company to certain classes of business.

Non-proportional insurance is primarily excess-of-loss reinsurance designed to mitigate the company‟s net

exposure to catastrophe losses. Retention limits for the excess-of-loss reinsurance vary by product line and

territory.

Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with the outstanding claims

provision and are in accordance with the reinsurances contracts. Although the company has reinsurance

arrangements, it is not relieved of its direct obligations to its policyholders and thus a credit exposure exists

with respect to ceded insurance, to the extent that any reinsurer is unable to meet its obligations assumed

under such reinsurance agreements. The company‟s placement of reinsurance is diversified such that it is

neither dependent on a single reinsurer nor are the operations of the company substantially dependent upon

any single reinsurance contract.

Life insurance contract (including investment contract)

Life insurance contracts offered by the company include: whole life, term assurance and investment contract

liabilities (ICL). Whole life and term assurance are conventional regular premium products when lump sum

benefits are payable on death or permanent disability. ICL is an investment product which accepts deposit

from clients and other business of savings nature by agreeing to pay interest on those deposits for an agreed

period.

For contract for which death or disability is the insured risk, the significant factors that could increase the

overall frequency of claims are epidemics, widespread changes in lifestyles and natural disasters, resulting in

earlier or more claims than expected. For annuity contracts, the most significant factor is continued

improvement in medical science and social conditions that would increase longevity. For contacts with DPF,

the participating nature of these contracts results in a significant portion of the insurance risk being shared

with the insured party.

The company‟s underwriting strategy is designed to ensure that risks are well diversified in term of type of

risk and level of insured benefits. This is largely achieved through diversification across industry sectors and

geography, the use of medical screening in order to ensure that pricing takes account of current health

conditions and family medical history, regular review of actual claims experience and product pricing as well

as detailed claims‟ handling procedures. Underwriting limits are in place to enforce appropriate risk selection

criteria. Insurance contracts also entitle the company to pursue third parties for payment of some or all costs.

The company further enforces a policy of activity managing and promptly pursuing claims, in order to reduce

its exposure to unpredictable future developments that can negatively impact the company.

Key assumptions

Material judgement is required in determining the liabilities and in the choice of assumptions. Assumptions in

use are based on past experience, current internal data, external market indices and benchmarks which reflect

current observable market prices and other published information. Assumptions and prudent estimates are

determined at the date of valuation and no credit is taken for possible beneficial effects of voluntary

- Page 43 -

Page 46: niger insurance audited dec 2012 - The Nigerian Stock Exchange

withdrawals. Assumptions are further evaluated on a continuous basis in order to ensure realistic and

reasonable valuations.

Sensitivities

The analysis which follows is performed for reasonable possible movements in key assumptions with all other

assumptions held constant, showing the impact on gross and net liabilities, profit before tax and equity. The

correlation of assumptions will have a significant effect in determining the ultimate claims liabilities, but to

demonstrate the impact due to changes in assumptions, assumptions had to be changed on an individual basis.

It should be noted that movements in these assumptions are non-linear. Sensitivity information will also vary

according to the current economic assumptions, mainly due to the impact of changes to both the intrinsic cost

and time value of options and guarantees. When options and guarantees exist, they are the main reason for the

asymmetry of sensitivities.

Non-life insurance contract (which comprise general insurance)

The company principally issues the following types of general insurance contracts: fire, motor, casualty,

workman compensation, personal accident, marine and oil and gas. Risks under non-life insurance policies

usually cover twelve months duration.

For general insurance contracts, the most significant risk arise from climate changes, natural disasters and

terrorist activities. For longer tail claims that take some years to settle, there is also inflation risk..

The above risk exposure is mitigated by diversification across a large portfolio of insurance contracts and

geographical areas. The variability of risks is improved by careful selection and implementation of

underwriting strategies, which are designed to ensure that risks are diversified in terms of type of risk and

level of insured benefits. This is largely achieved through diversification across industry sectors and

geography. Furthermore, strict claim review policies to assess all new and ongoing claims, regular detailed

review of claims handling procedures and frequent investigation of possible fraudulent claims are all policies

and procedure put to reduce the risk exposure of the company. The company further enforces a policy of

activity managing and promptly pursuing claims, in order to reduce its exposure to unpredictable future

developments that can negatively impact the business. Inflation risk is mitigated by taking expected inflation

into account when estimating insurance contract liabilities.

The company has also limited its exposure by imposing maximum claim amounts on certain contracts as well

as the use of reinsurance arrangements in order to limit exposure to catastrophic events (e.g. insurance,

earthquakes and flood damage).

The purpose of these underwriting and reinsurance strategies is to limit exposure to catastrophes based on the

company‟s risk appetite as decided by management. The overall aim is currently to restrict the impact of a

single catastrophic event to approximately 50% of shareholders‟ equity on a gross basis and 10% on a net

basis. In the event of such a catastrophe, counterparty exposure to a single reinsurer is estimated not to exceed

2% of shareholders‟ equity. The Board may decided to increase or decrease the maximum tolerance based on

market conditions and other factors.

Mortality and morbidity rates

Assumptions are based on standard industry and tables based on assumptions by the Actuary, according to the

type of contract written. They reflect recent historical experience and are adjusted when appropriate to reflect

the company‟s own experiences. An appropriate, but not excessive, prudent allowance is made for expected

- Page 44 -

Page 47: niger insurance audited dec 2012 - The Nigerian Stock Exchange

future improvements. Assumptions are differentiated by gender, underwriting class, contract type and

occupational hazard.

An increase in rate will lead to an increase in premium. A decrease in the number of claim settlements will

lead to decrease in the expenditure and subsequent increase in profits.

Longevity

Longevity assumptions are based on standard industry and tables based on assumptions by the Actuary,

according to the type of contract written. An appropriate but not excessive prudent allowance is made for

expected future improvements. Assumptions are differentiated by genders, underwriting class and contract

type.

A decrease in longevity will lead to a decrease in number of annually payment payments and subsequent

decrease in expenditure increase profits.

Investment return

One of the major variables in determining the underwriting liabilities is the weighted average rate of returns.

The estimations are based on current market returns as well as expectations about future economic and

financial changes.

Any increase in investment returns would lead to a reduction in expenditure and subsequent positive effects on

orgainsation financials

Expenses

Expenses assumptions reflect the projected costs of administration of in-force policies and associated

expenses. The current level of expenses is taken as an appropriate expenses base on adjustment for expected

expense and inflation appropriately.

A decrease in the level of expenses would result in a decrease in expenditure thereby increasing shareholder‟s

profits.

Lapse and surrender rates

Surrender refers to the voluntary termination of policies by policyholders while lapse refer to the termination

of policies due to non-payment of premiums. Lapses assumptions are determined using statistical measures

based on the company‟s internal data and appropriate policy conditions.

Discount rate

Underwriting liabilities are the discounted value of the expected benefits and future administration expenses

directly related to the contracts, less the discounted value of the expected theoretical premium that would be

required to meet the future cash outflows. The rates are based on the current industry risk rates, adjusted for

the company‟s own risk exposure.

- Page 45 -

Page 48: niger insurance audited dec 2012 - The Nigerian Stock Exchange

Key assumptions

The principal assumption underlying the liability estimates is that the company‟s future claims development

will follow a similar pattern to past claims development experience. This includes assumptions in respect of

average claim costs, claim handling costs, claim inflation factors and claim numbers for each accident year.

Additional qualitative judgements are used to assess the extent to which past trends may not apply in the

future, for example; once-off occurrence, changes in market factors such as public attitude to claiming,

economic conditions, as well as internal factors such as portfolio mix, policy conditions and claims handling

procedures, judgement is further used to assess the extent to which external factors such as judicial decisions

and government legislation affect the estimates.

Other key circumstances affecting the reliability of assumptions include variation in interest rates, delays in

settlement and changes in foreign currency rates.

Sensitivities

The non-life insurance claim liabilities are sensitive to the key assumptions that follow. It has not been

possible to quantify the sensitivity of certain assumptions such as legislative changes or uncertainty in the

estimation process. Niger to disclose for 2012 and 2011 the impact of changes in assumptions, impact on

gross liabilities, impact on profit before tax and impact on equity of 10% increase in average claim cost,

average number of claims and average claim settlement period.

Financial risks

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss to the other party by

falling to discharge an obligation at the due date.

Credit risk is the risk of loss arising from the failure of a client or counterparty to fulfil its obligations to Niger

Insurance Plc. This Credit Risk Management framework being part of Enterprise Risk Management

framework has been prepared and approved to provide broad guidelines for management of credit risk in the

insurance company.

In addition to credit risks arising out of investments and transactions with clients, Niger actively assumes

credit risk through the writing of insurance business and the approval and issuance of loans. Credit risk can

arise when a client defaults on loan payments or settlement of premium payments and can also arise when its

own repayment capacity decreases.

Niger‟s strategy as insurance company does not entail the elimination of credit risk but rather to take on credit

risk in a well-controlled, planned and targeted manner pursuant to its business objectives its approach to

measuring credit risk is therefore designed to ensure that it is assessed accurately in all its forms, and that

relevant, timely and accurate credit risk information is available to the relevant decision makers at an

operational and strategic level at all times. At a strategic level, Niger manages its credit risk profile within the

constraints of its overall risk appetite and structured its portfolio so that it provides optimal returns for the

level of risk taken. Operationally, the insurance company credit risk management is governed by the overall

risk appetite framework and aims to ensure that the risk inherent to individual exposures or certain business

portfolios are appropriately managed through the economic cycle.

- Page 46 -

Page 49: niger insurance audited dec 2012 - The Nigerian Stock Exchange

The organization is committed to:

a) Create, monitor and manage credit risk in a manner that complies with all applicable laws and

regulations;

b) Identify credit risk in each investment, loan or other activity of the insurance company;

c) Utilize appropriate, accurate and timely tools to measure credit risk;

d) Set acceptable risk parameters;

e) Maintain acceptable levels of credit risk for existing individual credit exposures;

f) Maintain acceptable levels of overall credit risk for Niger‟s portfolio; and

g) Coordinate credit risk management with the management of other risks inherent in Niger‟s business

activities.

Unsecured exposures to high risk obligors, transactions with speculative cash flows, loans in which the

insurance company will hold an inferior or subordinate position are some of the credit exposures that are

considered undesirable by the company.

Credit exposure

The company‟s maximum exposure to credit risk for the components of the statement of financial position at

31 December, 2012 and 2011 is the carrying amounts as presented in the note.

The credit risk analysis below is presented in line with how the company manages the risk. The company

manages its credit exposure based on the carrying value of the financial instruments.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with

financial instruments. In respect of catastrophic events there is also a liquidity risk associated with the timing

differences between gross cash out-flows and expected reinsurance recoveries.

This is the potential for loss to the company arising from either its inability to meet its obligations or to fund

increases in liabilities as they fall due without incurring unacceptable cost or losses. The liquidity risk

management framework which is a segment of ERM framework manual ensures that Niger is not unduly

exposed to Liquidity Risk and is in compliance with regulatory requirements and international best practice

with respect to Liquidity Risk Management.

Final authority and responsibility (outlined in the ERM framework) for all activities that expose Niger to

Liquidity Risk Management rests with the Board of Directors and the Board of Directors subsequently,

delegates this authority to the Board investment and Enterprise Risk Management Committee and the

Management Executive Committee (EXCO).

The key elements of the organisation‟s liquidity risk management process are:

▪ Definition of Niger‟s liquidity strategy

▪ Identification of liquidity risk

▪ Measurement of liquidity risk

▪ Controlling, monitoring and reporting liquidity risk.

The Board Investment and Enterprise Risk Management meet quarterly while management meet monthly to

review the liquidity position of the company.
