1-Liabilities: Loss Reserves
A loss reserve is the estimated cost of settling claims for losses that have already occurred but that have not been paid as of the valuation date . More specifically, the loss reserve is an estimated amount for (1) claims reported and adjusted but not yet paid, (2) claims reported and filed, but not yet adjusted, and (3) claims for losses incurred but not yet reported to the company .
Loss reserves in property and casualty insurance can be classified as case reserves, reserves based on the loss ratio method, and reserves for incurred but not reported claims.
2-Policyholders’ Surplus
Policyholders’ surplus is the difference between an insurance company’s assets and liabilities . It is not calculated directly—it is the “balancing” item on the balance sheet.
If the insurer were to pay all of its liabilities using its assets, the amount remaining would be policyholders’ surplus.
Surplus can be thought of as a cushion that can be drawn upon if liabilities are higher than expected.
Surplus represents the paid-in capital of investors plus retained income from insurance operations and investments over time.
The level of surplus is also an important determinant of the amount of new business that an insurance company can write.
3-Income and Expense Statement
The income and expense statement summarizes revenues received and expenses paid during a specified period of time .
Revenues are cash inflows that the company can claim as income. The two principal sources of revenues for an insurance company are premiums and investment income.

Expenses Partially offsetting the company’s revenues were the company’s expenses, which are cash outflows from the business.
The major expenses for an Insurance Company:
Adjusting claims
Paying the insured losses
Underwriting
4-Measuring Profit or Loss
A simple measure that can be used is the insurance company’s loss ratio and expense ratio.
The loss ratio is the ratio of incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses to premiums earned .
Loss ratio= (Incurred losses+Loss adjustment expenses)/Premiums earned
The expense ratio is equal to the company’s underwriting expenses divided by written premiums .
Expense ratio=Underwriting expenses/Premiums written

Motor Vehicle Insurance
Motor insurance is compulsory in India. It is essential for all motor vehicle owners since it protects them
from legal liabilities that might arise during their vehicle operation.
There are two types of policies available for motor vehicles – third-party liability insurance and
comprehensive insurance policy.
Third-party liability insurance
This covers the insured’s liability to third parties. The owner is protected in the event of death or injury
caused by the vehicle to:
pedestrians, occupants of other vehicles except those within your vehicle
other vehicle’s driver
passengers with whom your vehicle is for hire
The premiums are dependent on the cubic capacity of the car. This cover does not extend to fire and
theft accidents, for which one needs to pay additional premiums.
No vehicle can be used without this insurance cover and use of the vehicle without this insurance cover
is a penal offence.
3. 102 Financial Planning Handbook PDP
Comprehensive motor insurance
The comprehensive motor insurance takes care of additional losses and liabilities along with those
covered in third-party liability insurance.
There are two sections under this policy.
Section I protects the motor vehicle owners from the risks of:
Fire, Explosion, Self-Ignition and Lightning
Riot, Strike, and Malicious act of Terrorism
Transit by road, rail, inland waterway, air, lift or elevator
Earthquake
Accidental External Means
Landslide
Categories of vehicles:
The following categories of vehicles are covered under motor insurance policy:
Private cars: This category includes cars, station wagons, motor vehicles used for social, domestic,
business or professional purposes (excluding those used for the carriage of goods other than samples)
Motor Cycles: This includes motorcycles with or without sidecars, pedal cycles, mechanically assisted
pedal cycles and motor scooters with or without sidecars.
Commercial Vehicles: All vehicles excluding private cars, motor cycles and vehicles running on rails
come under this category.
Determining the value of the vehicle
The value of the vehicle is calculated on the basis of the current showroom price of the vehicle multiplied
by the depreciation rate that is set by the Tariff Advisory Committee at the commencement of each
policy period. This is called IDV (Insured’s Declared Value).
How is premium calculated?
The premium in a Motor Insurance Policy is regulated by the India Motor Tariffs as specified by the Tariff
Advisory Council. It is governed by the following factors:
Type of Vehicle
Age of the vehicle
City of registration
Use of the vehicle
Bonus / Malus System
In case of an accident occurring in a year for which the insured makes a claim, in the very next year the
insurance company increases the premium by way of charging a malus i.e an extra percentage. On the
other hand, when there is no claim lodged during the year, the insurance company grants a discount in
the premium by way of bonus.
No Claim Bonus (NCB) clause is applicable to holders of comprehensive insurance policy. The minimum
bonus is 20 percent and the maximum is 65 percent.

Even if the personal property of an individual is protected through insurance, financial insecurity can
arise if the person commits a legal wrong against a third party and is directed to pay damages or fines to
compensate the aggrieved party. The liability arising from such a situation is covered through liability
insurance.

Exercise
Ravi had joined Numark recently as the Director-Marketing. He was given a car and a driver by this
company. The company had taken insurance, which will give compensation for other vehicles’ driver and
pedestrians in case of any untoward accident involving the company car. It is mandatory for all vehicles
to take this policy. The HR manager asked that instead of taking only this cover; why not take a more
complete one. It would also cover the car in case of any loss due to theft of the car. What are the two
types of insurance that is being talked about?
Solution : The two types of insurance are third party insurance, comprehensive motor insurance.
Ravi will be the spokesperson of the company. He is the key person, who works as a representative of the
company. It is important that the company takes a (Directors and Officers Liability) insurance policy.
Does it cover dishonest, deliberate or fraudulent acts?
Solution : The insurance policy does not cover dishonest, deliberate or fraudulent act.
Numark is a pharmaceutical company. They manufacture generic drugs for diabetes and hypertension.
There are reputed players in the market and well known for quality products. However, they had started
their distribution in South East Asian countries and wanted to expand business. There is one insurance
policy that is definitely recommended. What do you think it is?
Solution : Products liability insurance is recommended.
Numark also runs a chain of clinics across the rural areas. The brothers in partnership thought that this
would be a good way to give back to the community. They started this business about 10 years back and
it has been very successful in treating a lot of patients who would otherwise find it difficult to access
bigger cities where all the facilities are already available.More than it being a business proposition, it
started out being a part of the corporate social responsibility.Since it was managed well, this new associate
venture grew in size and geography.The philosophy was to help all the poor and needy free of cost.The
hospital became well known for its treatment and quality of service. Many people started queing up to get
treated who were not necessarily poor but came from the middle class backgrounds. This low revenue
earning model, an associate of the main business was doing contributing up to 7% profits of the company.
The company hires a lot of doctors, who have just completed their education and want to train under
diverse conditions. The company want their costs to be optimized, yet give quality care. To hire young
doctors who are yet gaining a wider range of experience was one of their ways of doing it. The management
decided that it made legal sense to take up another policy. What policy to do think that would be?
Solution : Numark should take up Professional Indemnity Policy.
