15 ANNUAL STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR 06 OF THE ZENITH INSURANCE COMPANY AND ITS AFFILIATED PROPERTY AND CASUALTY INSURER NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Going Concern A. Accounting Practices The accompanying combined financial statements of Zenith Insurance Company ( Zenith Insurance ) and its wholly-owned property and casualty insurer, ZNAT Insurance Company ( ZNAT Insurance and together with Zenith Insurance, the Company ) have been prepared in conformity with the statutory accounting practices of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners' ( NAIC ) Annual Statement Instructions and Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual ( NAIC SAP ) as adopted by the California Department of Insurance ( California DOI ) ( California SAP ). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in combining the financial statements. Both companies are property-casualty insurance companies domiciled in the State of California. The California DOI recognizes only statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the State of California for determining and reporting the financial condition and results of operations of an insurance company for purposes of determining its solvency under the California Insurance Code ( CIC ). The NAIC SAP version effective January, 00 and all subsequent amendments have been adopted as a component of California SAP. Currently, there are no differences between NAIC SAP and California SAP as they apply to the Company as shown below: Year ended December, Net Income State of Domicile State Basis California $ 5,7,0 $ 0,588,580 State Prescribed Practices California State Permitted Practices California NAIC SAP $ 5,7,0 $ 0,588,580 December, Surplus State of Domicile State Basis California $ 56,56,58 $ 6,67,65 State Prescribed Practices California State Permitted Practices California NAIC SAP $ 56,56,58 $ 6,67,65 B. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Financial Statements The preparation of financial statements in accordance with NAIC SAP requires the use of assumptions and estimates in reporting certain assets and liabilities and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. C. Accounting Policies The Company participates in an intercompany pooling agreement (see Note 6). Revenue Recognition The consideration paid for an insurance policy is generally known as a premium. Premiums billed to the Company s policyholders are recorded as revenues in the Statement of Income. Premiums are billed and collected according to policy terms, predominantly in the form of installments during the policy period. Premiums are earned pro-rata over the terms of the policies. Billed premiums applicable to the unexpired terms of policies in-force are recorded in the accompanying Balance Sheet as a liability for unearned premiums. Certain states in which the Company conducts business require that the Company bill additional amounts, or assessments, to policyholders in accordance with state statutes. In some cases, the Company is required to pay in advance estimated amounts of these assessments to the relevant regulatory agency. Premiums do not include these assessments and their collection does not have any impact on the Company s results of operations. Workers compensation premiums are determined based upon the payroll of the insured, the applicable premium rates and, where applicable, an experience based modification factor and a debit or credit applied by the Company s underwriters based upon individual risk characteristics. Audits of policyholders records are conducted after policy expiration to make a final determination of applicable premiums. Included with premiums earned is an estimate of the impact of final audit premiums. The Company can estimate this adjustment because it monitors, by policy, how much additional premium will be billed or refunded in final audit invoices as a percentage of the original estimated amount that was billed. The Company uses the historical percentage and current trends to estimate the probable amount to be billed or refunded as of the balance sheet date. When payrolls decline during policy periods (such as during a recession), the Company may bill more premium than is actually owed and will establish a liability for the estimated amount to be refunded to its policyholders. When payrolls increase during policy periods, the Company may bill less premium than is actually owed and will establish a receivable for the estimated amount due from its policyholders. At December, 06 and 05, the Company recorded assets of approximately $5.4 million and $4.5 million, respectively, for estimated additional amounts of premiums to be billed to its policyholders. Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses ( LAE ) Incurred Losses and LAE incurred in the accompanying Statement of Income include provisions for the amount the Company expects to ultimately pay for all reported and unreported claims for the applicable periods. LAE are the expenses applicable to the process of administering, settling and investigating claims, including related legal expenses. Estimates of losses from environmental and asbestos related claims are included in overall loss reserves and to date have not been material. Unpaid Losses and LAE The liabilities for unpaid losses and LAE ( loss reserves ) in the accompanying Balance Sheet are estimates of the unpaid amounts that the Company expects to pay for the ultimate cost of reported and unreported claims as of the balance sheet date. Loss reserves are estimates and are inherently uncertain; they do not and cannot represent an exact measure of ultimate liability. The Company performs a comprehensive review of its loss reserves at the end of every quarter. Estimating loss reserves is a complex process that involves a combination of actuarial techniques and methods and management judgment to establish the most reasonable estimate of loss reserves. Any resulting adjustments to loss reserves are reflected in the Company s Statement of Income in the period in which the change is made. 4

16 ANNUAL STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR 06 OF THE ZENITH INSURANCE COMPANY AND ITS AFFILIATED PROPERTY AND CASUALTY INSURER NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS When losses are reported to the Company, it establishes individual estimates of the ultimate cost of the claims, known as case reserves. These case reserves are continually monitored and revised in response to new information and for amounts paid. The Company s actuaries use this information about reported claims in some of their estimation techniques. In estimating the Company s total loss reserves, the Company makes provision for two types of loss development. At the end of any calendar period, there are a number of claims that have not yet been reported but will arise out of accidents that have already occurred. These are referred to in the insurance industry as incurred but not reported ( IBNR ) claims and the Company s loss reserves contain an estimate for IBNR claims. In addition to this provision for late reported claims, the Company also has to estimate, and make provision for, the extent to which the case reserves on known claims may also develop. These types of reserves are referred to in the insurance industry as bulk reserves. The Company s loss reserves make provision for both IBNR and bulk reserves in total, but not separately. The principal uncertainty in the Company s workers compensation loss reserve estimates is the trend of increasing claim costs, particularly medical. In estimating loss reserves, the Company s actuaries consider medical costs by evaluating long-term trends. The additional uncertainties considered in estimating ultimate loss costs include the ultimate number of expensive cases and the length of time required to settle long-term expensive cases. Expensive claims are those involving permanent disability of an injured worker and are paid over many years. The ultimate costs of expensive claims are difficult to estimate because of such factors as the on-going and possibly increasing need for medical care, complications from comorbidity, the duration of disability, life expectancy and benefits for dependents, as well as increased costs associated with obtaining settlement approval from Medicare. The Company believes its loss reserve estimates are adequate. However, the ultimate losses will not be known with any certainty for several years. The Company evaluates its loss reserve estimates every quarter to reflect the most current data and judgments. State Guaranty Fund Assessments Guaranty funds ( Guaranty Funds ) exist in several states to ensure that policyholders (holders of direct insurance policies but not of reinsurance policies) receive payment of their claims if insurance companies become insolvent. A Guaranty Fund is funded primarily by statutorily required assessments on insurance companies doing business in the state. Various mechanisms exist in some of these states for assessed insurance companies to recover these assessments. Upon the insolvency of an insurance company, the Guaranty Funds become primarily liable for the payment of the insolvent company s liabilities to policyholders. The declaration of an insolvency establishes the presumption that assessments by the Guaranty Funds are probable. The Company writes workers compensation insurance in many states in which unpaid workers compensation liabilities are the responsibility of the Guaranty Funds and has received, and expects to continue to receive, Guaranty Fund assessments, some of which may be based on a certain amount of the premiums it has already earned as of December, 06. The Company recorded an estimate of $.8 million and $5.8 million for the expected net liability at December, 06 and 05, respectively, for Guaranty Fund assessments; the ultimate impact of such assessments will depend upon the amount and timing of actual assessments and of any recoveries to which the Company may be entitled. Reinsurance Ceded In the ordinary course of business and in accordance with general insurance industry practices, the Company purchases excess of loss reinsurance to protect it against the impact of large, irregularly occurring losses in the workers compensation business. Such reinsurance reduces the magnitude of such losses on net income and the surplus as regards policyholders of the Company. Reinsurance makes the assuming reinsurer liable to the ceding company to the extent of the reinsurance. It does not, however, discharge the ceding company from its primary liability to its policyholders in the event the reinsurer is unable to meet its obligations under such reinsurance agreement. The Company monitors the financial condition of its reinsurers and does not believe that it is currently exposed to any material credit risk through its ceded reinsurance arrangements because most of its reinsurance is recoverable from large, well-capitalized reinsurance companies. The Company records a provision for possible uncollectible reinsurance as required by NAIC SAP. Historical write-offs have been infrequent and insignificant. 07 Reinsurance ceded coverage The Company maintains excess of loss and catastrophe reinsurance which provides protection up to $50 million for workers compensation losses including catastrophe losses arising out of California earthquakes and acts of terrorism including nuclear, biological and chemical attacks. For the California agriculture business, the Company retains the first $0 million and the layer from $0 million to $0 million of each loss arising from industrial accidents. For all other business classes, the Company retains the first $0 million of each loss. 06 Reinsurance ceded workers compensation coverage The Company maintained excess of loss and catastrophe reinsurance which provides protection up to $50 million for workers compensation losses including catastrophe losses arising out of California earthquakes and acts of terrorism excluding nuclear, biological and chemical attacks. For the California agriculture business, the Company retains the first $0 million and the layer from $0 million to $0 million of each loss arising from industrial accidents. For all other business classes, the Company retains the first $0 million of each loss. 05 Reinsurance ceded workers compensation coverage The Company maintained excess of loss and catastrophe reinsurance which provides protection up to $00 million for workers compensation losses including catastrophe losses arising out of California earthquakes and acts of terrorism excluding nuclear, biological and chemical attacks. The Company retained the first $0 million of each loss arising from industrial accidents only in its California agriculture business. For all other business classes, the Company retained the first $0 million of each loss. Investments The carrying value of investments is determined by the rules established by the Securities Valuation Office ( SVO ) of the NAIC. The fair value of investments is determined by a third party pricing service, Interactive Data Corporation ( IDC ), except for certain securities for which IDC does not provide a price, in which case a market price is obtained from various broker-dealers or the fair value is estimated using analytical methods. Investments are generally stated as follows:. Bonds and redeemable preferred stocks designated and by the SVO are stated at amortized cost using the scientific method. Nonredeemable preferred stocks are reported at fair value. Bonds and redeemable preferred stocks designated through 6 by the SVO are carried at the lower of cost basis or fair value.. Unaffiliated common stocks are mostly reported at fair value. One non-traded common stock investment of a company based in the United Kingdom is recorded at fair value which approximates its net asset value. A significant portion of the net asset of this equity investment, excluding cash balances, is comprised of real estate holdings supported by appraisals. 4.

17 ANNUAL STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR 06 OF THE ZENITH INSURANCE COMPANY AND ITS AFFILIATED PROPERTY AND CASUALTY INSURER NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Investments in wholly-owned non-insurance subsidiaries of the Company (Zenith of Nevada, Inc. and Zenith Insurance Management Services, Inc.) are reported at their equity values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ( GAAP ). 4. Investments in occupied real estate are reported at depreciated cost with additions and improvements capitalized and depreciated over their respective useful lives. 5. Short-term investments are reported at amortized cost. 6. Investments in partnerships are primarily reported at our share of the partnership s GAAP equity value. 7. The first lien mortgage loan on real estate was recorded at its unpaid principal balance. It was repaid in full in 05 (see Note 5A). 8. Derivative contracts are reported at fair value (see Note 8).. Investments in common stocks and partnerships where the Company s ownership is more than minor or where the Company is presumed to have significant operating or financial influence are recorded using the equity method of accounting. The carrying amount of these investments represents initial cost, adjusted for any additional purchases/distributions, goodwill amortization, if any, and the Company s share of the changes in the investee s net asset value, on a quarter lag. Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments include short-term investments which are highly liquid and are readily convertible to cash. Cash equivalents and short-term investments include U.S. Treasury securities bond and overnight sweep accounts with maturities of less than one year at the date of purchase. Investment income is recorded when earned. Realized capital gains and losses are determined under the average cost method. Investments that the Company currently owns could be subject to default by the issuer or declines in fair value that become other-than-temporary. The Company continually assesses the prospects for individual securities as part of its ongoing portfolio management, including the identification of other-than-temporary declines in fair values. The Company s other-than-temporary assessment includes reviewing the extent and duration of declines in fair values of investments below the amortized cost basis, the seniority and duration of the securities, historical and projected company financial performance, company-specific news and other developments, the outlook for industry sectors, credit ratings and macro-economic changes, including government policy initiatives. Equipment Properties and equipment used in operations, including certain costs incurred to develop and obtain computer software, are capitalized and carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis using the following useful lives: buildings up to 40 years; and other property and equipment to 0 years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Additions and improvements to buildings and other fixed assets are capitalized and depreciated over the useful lives of the properties and equipment. Upon disposition, the asset cost and related depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is included in the Company s Statement of Income. Income Taxes Change in policyholders surplus includes a provision for deferred taxes based on temporary differences between the statutory basis and tax basis of assets and liabilities, computed in accordance with NAIC SAP. D. Going Concern None Note Accounting Changes and Corrections of Errors None Note Business Combinations and Goodwill None Note 4 Discontinued Operations From 85 through 004, Zenith Insurance was engaged in the property-casualty assumed reinsurance business. In 005, Zenith Insurance exited the assumed reinsurance business. The results of this business will continue to be included in the Statement of Income, primarily consisting of changes to loss reserve estimates, if any, and direct expenses. Note 5 Investments A.
