8 Pages Worldwide Financial Statements These pages apply to foreign insurers/societies only. Foreign insurers/societies are required to complete the condensed balance sheet and income statement for the worldwide operation of the Home Office. The information should be as of the latest fiscal year-end for which such information is available. Indicate the year-end date at the bottom of the page on line 930. Financial data must be converted from the currency of the home jurisdiction to Canadian currency. Indicate the currency on line 950 and the exchange rate used at the top of each column. The data used to complete these pages should be taken primarily from the return submitted to the regulatory body of the home jurisdiction. There is no requirement to convert the data from the home jurisdiction s accounting principles to IFRS/Canadian GAAP. Page Liabilities, Policyholders and Shareholders Equity - Worldwide Business This page applies to Foreign Life insurers only. Page Liabilities and Surplus - Worldwide Business This page applies to Foreign Fraternal Benefit Societies only. Life Insurance Return Instructions VI-8 Revised: July 2018

9 Page Capital/Solvency Information - Worldwide Business This information should be as of the latest fiscal year-end for which such information is available. Indicate the year-end date at the bottom of the page, on line 930. Financial data must be converted from the currency of the home jurisdiction to Canadian currency. Indicate the currency on line 950 and the exchange rate used at the top of each column. Because of the wide range of potential measurements of capital and solvency, there is opportunity to provide the information in the form of monetary capital amounts available and required as well as a ratio which might be on a different basis. For U.S. insurers/societies, capital available would be the Total Adjusted Capital in the RBC formula. Required capital would be the figure shown as Authorized Control Level Risk Based Capital. You will note that at the bottom of page there is room to provide comments to describe the standard used. Foreign insurers/societies should fill in only the data that is appropriate for their circumstances. For instance, if solvency is measured only in the form of a ratio, there is no need to fill in the monetary accounts on lines 001, 100 and 200. Of course, the opposite situation may be the actual case as well. Foreign insurers/societies are encouraged to use the comment section to describe the particular circumstances. Although the United Kingdom and the U.S.A. make capital and solvency information public (but not the solvency ratio for marketing purposes in the U.S.A.), OSFI has not been able to determine this fact for all other countries. So that insurers/societies will not contravene any foreign laws regarding publicity of capital solvency ratios, OSFI will not make this data public until it has confirmed that it may do so and in any event not before Canadian life insurance companies solvency ratios are made public. Pages Opening Prior Year Restated: Only to be completed by insurers/societies that make a retrospective restatement or reclassification of items.
