138 annual report 2013 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont d) - 31 March 2013 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT D) 2.3 Subsidiaries, associates and basis of consolidation (i) Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group has the ability to control the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from their activities. In the Company s separate financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less impairment losses. On disposal of such investments, the difference between net disposal proceeds and their carrying amounts is included in the income statement. (ii) Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as at the reporting date. The financial statements of the subsidiaries used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are prepared for the same reporting date as the Company. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, intragroup balances, transactions and unrealised gains or losses resulting from intragroup transactions are eliminated in full. Uniform accounting policies are adopted in the consolidated financial statements for like transactions and events in similar circumstances. Acquisitions of subsidiaries are accounted for using the purchase method. The purchase method of accounting involves allocating the cost of the acquisition to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values, at the date of exchange, of the assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued, plus any costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Any excess of the cost of the acquisition over the Group s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities represents goodwill. Any excess of the Group s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition is recognised immediately in the income statement. (iii) Takaful and retakaful operations and funds Under the concept of takaful/retakaful, individuals/cedants make contributions to a pool which is managed by a third party with the overall aim of using the monies to aid fellow participants in times of need. Accordingly, the takaful and retakaful subsidiaries of the Company manage the general and family takaful and retakaful funds in line with the principles of Wakalah (agency), which is the main business model used by the takaful and retakaful subsidiaries. Under the Wakalah model, the takaful/retakaful operator is not a participant in the fund but manages the funds (including the relevant assets and liabilities) towards the purpose outlined above. In accordance with the Takaful Act 1984, the assets and liabilities of the takaful and retakaful funds are segregated from those of the takaful and retakaful subsidiaries: a concept known as segregation of funds. Accordingly, in prior years, the aggregated assets, liabilities and participants funds of the takaful and retakaful operations were presented separately in the Group s statement of financial position as line items and whilst the income statement and statement of comprehensive income of the Group did not include the income and expenses of the takaful and retakaful funds. This was intended to clearly segregate the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the Group from those of the takaful and retakaful funds which the Group manages but does not own. Effective this year, the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the takaful and retakaful funds are consolidated with those of the takaful and retakaful subsidiaries to represent the control possessed by the operator over the financial and operating policies of the respective funds.

MNRB Holdings Berhad 139 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT D) 2.3 Subsidiaries, associates and basis of consolidation (cont d) (iii) Takaful and retakaful operations and funds (cont d) In preparing the Group financial statements, the balances and transactions of the shareholders funds of the takaful and retakaful subsidiaries were amalgamated and combined with those of the takaful and retakaful funds respectively. Interfund balances, transactions and unrealised gains or losses are eliminated in full during amalgamation and consolidation. The takaful and retakaful funds of the takaful and retakaful subsidiaries are consolidated and amalgamated from the date of control and continue to be consolidated until the date such control ceases which will occur when the takaful and retakaful subsidiaries licences to manage takaful and retakaful businesses respectively are withdrawn or surrendered. (iv) Associates Associates are entities in which the Group has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but not in control or joint control over those policies. Investments in associates are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the investment in associate is carried in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost adjusted for post-acquisition changes in the Group s share of net assets of the associate. The Group s share of the net profit or loss of the associate is recognised in the consolidated income statement. Where there has been a change recognised directly in the equity of the associate, the Group recognises its share of such changes. In applying the equity method, unrealised gains and losses on transactions between the Group and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the Group s interest in the associate. After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognise any additional impairment loss with respect to the Group s net investment in the associate. The associate is equity accounted for from the date the Group obtains significant influence until the date the Group ceases to have significant influence over the associates. Goodwill relating to an associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortised. Any excess of the Group s share of the net fair value of the associate s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of the investment is excluded from the carrying amount of the investment and is instead included as income in the determination of the Group s share of the associate s profit or loss in the period in which the investment is acquired. When the Group s share of losses in associates equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group s net investment in the associates, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associates. The most recent available audited financial statements of the associates are used by the Group in applying the equity method. Where the dates of the audited financial statements used are not coterminous with those of the Group, the share of results is derived from the last audited financial statements available and management financial statements to the end of the accounting period. Uniform accounting polices are adopted for like transactions and events in similar circumstances. In the Company s separate financial statements, investments in associates are stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. On disposal of such investments, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is included in the income statement.

140 annual report 2013 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont d) - 31 March 2013 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT D) 2.4 General reinsurance underwriting results The general reinsurance underwriting results are determined for each class of business after taking into account premiums, movements in premium liabilities and claims liabilities and acquisition costs. (i) Premium recognition Gross premiums are recognised in a financial period in respect of risks assumed during the particular financial period. Gross premium income include premium income in relation to inwards facultative business, inwards proportional treaty reinsurance and inwards non-proportional treaty reinsurance. Inwards facultative reinsurance premiums are recognised in the financial period in respect of the facultative risk assumed during the particular financial period, as in the case of direct policies, following individual risks inception dates. Inwards proportional treaty reinsurance premiums are recognised on the basis of periodic advices received from cedants given that the periodic advices reflect the individual underlying risks being incepted and reinsured at various inception dates of these risks and contractually accounted for under the terms of the proportional reinsurance treaty. Premium income on inward non-proportional treaties, which cover losses occurring during a specified treaty period, are recognised based on the contractual premiums already established at the start of the treaty period under the terms and conditions of each contract. (ii) Premium liabilities Premium liabilities represent the reinsurance subsidiary s future obligations on insurance contracts as represented by premiums received for risks that have not yet expired. The movement in premium liabilities is released over the term of the insurance contracts and is recognised as premium income. Premium liabilities are reported at the higher of the aggregate of the unearned premium reserves ( UPR ) for all lines of business or the best estimate value of the reinsurance subsidiary s unexpired risk reserves ( URR ) and a provision of risk margin for adverse deviation ( PRAD ) calculated at 75% confidence level at the end of the financial year. (a) Unexpired risk reserves The URR is a prospective estimate of the expected future payments arising from future events insured under policies in force as at the end of the financial year and also includes allowance for expenses, including overheads and cost of reinsurance, expected to be incurred during the unexpired period in administering these policies and settling the relevant claims, and expected future premium refunds. URR is estimated via an actuarial valuation performed by a qualified actuary, using a mathematical method of estimation similar to incurred but not reported claims ( IBNR ).

MNRB Holdings Berhad 141 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT D) 2.4 General reinsurance underwriting results (cont d) (ii) Premium liabilities (cont d) (b) Unearned premium reserves The UPR represent the portion of the net premiums of reinsurance policies written that relate to the unexpired periods of the policies at the end of the financial year. The methods of computation of UPR are as follows: For inward proportional treaty business, UPR is computed on the 1/8th method commencing from the quarter corresponding to the reporting quarter of the treaty statement; For inward non proportional treaty business, UPR is computed at 1/2 of the last quarter Minimum Deposit Premiums received; and For inward facultative policies, UPR is computed on the 1/8th method commencing from the date of inception. (iii) Claims liabilities The amount of outstanding claims is the best estimate value of claim liabilities, which include provision for claims reported, claims incurred but not enough reserved ( IBNER ), claims incurred but not reported ( IBNR ) together with related expenses less recoveries to settle the present obligation as well as a PRAD calculated at 75% confidence level at the end of the financial year. Liabilities for outstanding claims are recognised as advised by the ceding companies. IBNER and IBNR claims are based on an actuarial valuation by a qualified actuary, using a mathematical method of estimation based on, amongst others, actual claims development pattern. (iv) Liability adequacy test At each reporting date, the Group reviews all insurance contract liabilities to ensure that the carrying amount of the liabilities is sufficient or adequate to cover the obligations of the Group, contractual or otherwise, with respect to insurance contracts issued. In performing this review, the Group compares all contractual cash flows against the carrying value of insurance contract liabilities. Any deficiency is recognised in the income statement. (v) Acquisition cost The cost of acquiring and renewing reinsurance business net of income derived from ceding reinsurance premiums is recognised as incurred and properly allocated to the periods in which it is probable they give rise to income.

142 annual report 2013 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont d) - 31 March 2013 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT D) 2.5 General takaful fund The general takaful fund is maintained in accordance with the Takaful Act 1984 and consists of AFS reserves and the accumulated surplus/deficit in the fund. Underwriting deficit will be made good by the shareholder s fund via a loan or Qard. Surplus distributable to the participants is determined after deducting retakaful costs, commissions, changes in takaful contract liabilities, wakalah fees, expenses and taxation. The surplus may be distributed to the shareholder and participants in accordance with the terms and conditions of the respective contracts. General takaful revenue consists of gross takaful contributions and investment income. Revenue is accounted for on an accrual basis as approved by the takaful subsidiary s Shariah Committee. Unrealised income is deferred and receipts in advance are treated as liabilities in the statement of financial position. (i) Takaful contribution income Contribution from direct and facultative inwards are recognised as soon as the amount of contribution can be reliably measured in accordance with the principles of Shariah. Contributions are recognised in a financial period in respect of risks assumed during that particular financial period. Inward treaty retakaful contributions are recognised on the basis of periodic advices received from ceding takaful operators. (ii) Takaful contribution liabilities Contribution liabilities represent the general takaful fund s future obligations on takaful contracts as represented by contributions received for risks that have not yet expired. The movement in contribution liabilities is released over the terms of the takaful contracts and recognised as contribution. Contribution liabilities are reported at the higher of the aggregate of the unearned contribution reserves ( UCR ) for all lines of business or the best estimate value of the takaful fund s unexpired risk reserves ( URR ) and a provision of risk margin for adverse deviation ( PRAD ) calculated at 75% confidence level at the end of the financial year. (a) Unearned contribution reserves The Unearned Contribution Reserves ( UCR ) represent the portion of net contribution income of takaful contracts written that relate to the unexpired periods of the contracts at the end of the reporting period. The UCR is calculated on net contribution income with a further deduction for Wakalah fee expenses to reflect the Wakalah business principle. In determining the UCR at the end of the financial year, the method that most accurately reflects the actual unearned contribution is used as follows: Time apportionment method for all classes of general takaful business within Malaysia except Marine and Aviation Cargo; and 25% method for Marine and Aviation Cargo.

MNRB Holdings Berhad 143 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT D) 2.5 General takaful fund (cont d) (ii) Takaful contribution liabilities (cont d) (b) Unexpired risk reserves URR is a prospective estimate of the expected future payments arising from future events expected to be incurred as at the end of the financial year and also includes cost of retakaful, expected to be incurred during the unexpired period in administering these certificates and settling the relevant claims, and expected future return contributions. In estimating the best estimate URR, the resulting loss ratio based on best estimate claims incurred but not reported is applied to the corresponding UCR as the prospective assessment of the amount that needs to be set aside in order to provide for claims and allocated claim costs that will result out of unexpired future periods of cover. (iii) Claims liabilities Claims and settlement costs that are incurred during the financial year are recognised when a claimable event occurs and/or the takaful subsidiary is notified. The amount of outstanding claims is the best estimate of the expenditure required together with related expenses less recoveries to settle the obligation at the end of the financial year. Claims liabilities are valued at the best estimate which include provision for claims reported, claims incurred but not enough reserved ( IBNER ) and claims incurred but not reported together with related claims handling costs and reduction for the expected value of salvage and other recoveries and a PRAD which is calculated at 75% confidence level. Delays can be experienced in the notification and settlement of certain types of claims, therefore, the ultimate cost of these claims cannot be known with certainty at the end of the financial year. The liability is calculated by a qualified actuary at the end of the financial year using a range of standard actuarial claim projection techniques based on empirical data and current assumptions that may include a margin for adverse deviation. The liability is not discounted for the time value of money. No provision for equalisation or catastrophe reserves is recognised. The liabilities are derecognised when the certificates expires, are discharged or are cancelled. (iv) Liability adequacy test At each reporting date, the Group reviews all general takaful contract liabilities to ensure that the carrying amount of the liabilities is sufficient or adequate to cover the obligations of the Group, contractual or otherwise, with respect to general takaful contract issued. In performing this review, the Group compares all contractual cash flows against the carrying value of general takaful contract liabilities. Any deficiency is recognised in the income statement. (v) Commission earned Commission earned net of expense paid from retakaful in the course of ceding / accepting contributions to / from retakaful operators are recognised in the income statement, as incurred and properly allocated to the periods in which it is probable they give rise to income. This is in accordance with the principles of Wakalah as approved by the Shariah Committee and as agreed between the participants and the takaful subsidiary.

144 annual report 2013 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont d) - 31 March 2013 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT D) 2.6 Family takaful fund The family takaful fund is maintained in accordance with the requirements of the Takaful Act, 1984 and includes the amount attributable to participants. The family takaful fund surplus / deficit is determined by an annual actuarial valuation of the family takaful fund. Any actuarial deficit in the family takaful fund will be made good by the shareholder s fund via a loan or Qard. Surplus distributable to the participants is determined after deducting benefits paid and payable, retakaful, provisions, reserves, wakalah fees, taxation and surplus administration charges transferred to the shareholder s fund. The surplus may be distributed to the shareholder and participants in accordance with the terms and conditions prescribed by the Shariah Committee of the takaful subsidiary. Family takaful revenue consists of gross takaful contributions and investment income. Revenue is accounted for on an accrual basis and as approved by the takaful subsidiary s Shariah Committee. Unrealised income is deferred and receipts in advance are treated as liabilities on the statement of financial position. (i) Takaful contribution income Takaful contribution is recognised as soon as the amount of contribution can be reliably measured in accordance with the principles of Shariah. First year contribution is recognised on assumption of risks and subsequent takaful contributions are recognised on due dates. Takaful contributions outstanding at the reporting date is recognised as income for the period provided they are within the grace period allowed for payment and there are sufficient funds available in the participants accounts to cover such contributions due. (ii) Provision for outstanding claims Claims and settlement costs that are incurred during the financial year are recognised when a claimable event occurs and/or the takaful subsidiary is notified. Claims and provisions for claims arising on family takaful contracts, including settlement costs, are accounted for using the case basis method, and for this purpose, the benefits payable under a takaful certificate are recognised as follows: (a) maturity or other certificate benefit payments due on specified dates are treated as claims payable on due dates; and (b) death, surrender and other benefits without due dates are treated as claims payable on receipt of intimation of death of the certificate holder or occurrence of contingency covered. (iii) Creation/cancellation of units Amounts received for units created represent contributions paid by participants or unitholders as payment for new contracts or subsequent payments to increase the amount of the contracts. Creation/cancellation of units are recognised in the financial statements at the next valuation date, after the request to purchase/sell units are received from the unitholders.
