5.SUMMARYOFSIGNIFICANTACCOUNTINGPOLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed in preparation of these financial statements.

Cash and cash equivalentsCash and cash equivalents comprise of cash at banks and time deposits with an original maturity of less than three months at the date of acquisition.

GoodwillPurchase price paid in excess of fair value of net assets or liabilities is considered as goodwill. Goodwill is tested for impairment by management at least once at the end of each financial year. Impairment for goodwill is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit (or a group of cash generating units) to which the goodwill is related. When the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (or a group of cash generating units) is less than the carrying amount of the cash generating unit (or a group of cash generating units) to which goodwill has been allocated, an impairment loss is recognised. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in the future periods.

Property and equipmentProperty and equipment are initially recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value.Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of those assets as follows:

Leasehold improvements 15% - 25%Office equipment, furniture & fixtures 10% - 15%Computers 25%Motor vehicles 25%

17


At 31 December 2009

InvestmentsAll investments are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the consideration given, including acquisition charges associated with the investment. Premiums and discounts are amortized on a systematic basis to their maturity. For investments that are traded in organized financial markets, fair value is determined by reference to exchange quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the balance sheet date without any deduction for transaction costs.

a. Available for sale investmentsInvestments which are classified as “available for sale” are subsequently measured at fair value. Available for sale investments are those investments that are not held-to-maturity nor held for trading. For an available for sale investment where the fair value has not been hedged, any unrealized gain or loss arising from a change in its fair value is recognised directly in the statement of shareholders’ comprehensive operations until the investment is derecognized or impaired at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in the statements of shareholders’ comprehensive operations should be included in the statement of shareholders’ operations for the year. Available for sale investments whose fair value can not be reliably measured are carried at amortised cost less impairment provision.

b. Investments in held to maturity securitiesInvestments which have fixed or determined payments that the Company has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity are subsequently measured at amortized cost, less provision for impairment in value. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition. Any gain or loss on such investments is recognised in the statement of shareholders’ operations when the investment is derecognized or impaired.

Impairment and uncollectibility of financial assetsAn assessment is made at each statement of financial position date to determine whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets may be impaired. If such evidence exists, any impairment loss is recognized in the statement of shareholders’ operations. Impairment is determined as follows:

• For assets carried at fair value, impairment is the difference between the cost and fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognized in the statement of shareholders’ operations• For assets carried at cost, impairment is the difference between the cost and the present value of future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset.• For assets carried at amortized cost, impairment is based on estimated cash flows that are discounted at the original effective special commission rate.

Accruals and other payablesLiabilities are recognised for amounts to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether billed by the supplier or not.

5. Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

18

Zakat and income taxZakat and income tax are provided for in accordance with Saudi Arabian Fiscal Regulations and is charged to the statement of shareholders’ comprehensive operations.

LandLand is stated at cost less any impairment and is not depreciated.

Special commission incomeSpecial commission income from time deposits is recognized on an effective yield basis.

Dividend incomeDividend income is recognised when the right to receive dividends is established.

ProvisionsProvisions are recognised when the Company has an obligation (legal or constructive) arising from a past event, and the costs to settle the obligation are both probable and may be measured reliably. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Trade date accountingAll regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized / derecognized on the trade date (i.e. the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the assets). Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require settlement of assets within the time frame generally established by regulation or convention in the market place.

Employees’ end-of-service benefitsProvision is made for amounts payable under the Saudi Arabian labour law applicable to employees’ accumulated periods of service at the statement of financial position date.

Foreign currenciesTransactions in foreign currencies are recorded in Saudi Riyals at the exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the statement of financial position date. All differences are taken to the statements of insurance operations and accumulated surplus and shareholders’ operations.

Statutory reserveIn accordance with its bylaws, the Company shall allocate 20% of its net income each year to the statutory reserve until it has built up a reserve equal to the share capital.


19


At 31 December 2009

Offsetting financial assets and liabilitiesFinancial 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 assets and settle the liability simultaneously. Income and expense are not offset in the statement of shareholders’ operations unless required or permitted by any accounting standard or interpretation.

Premiums earned and commission incomePremiums are taken into income over the terms of the policies to which they relate on a pro-rata basis. Unearned premiums represent the portion of premiums written relating to the unexpired period of coverage.

Retained premiums and commission income, which relate to unexpired risks beyond the end of the financial period, are reported as unearned and deferred based on the following methods:

• 25% of premiums for marine cargo business• Actual number of days for other lines of business

Premiums receivablePremiums receivable are recognized when due and measured on initial recognition at the fair value of the considerations received or receivable. The carrying value of premiums receivable is reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, with the impairment loss recorded in the statement of insurance operations and accumulated surplus. Premiums receivable are derecognized when the derecognition criteria for financial assets have been met.

Gross outstanding claimsClaims consist of amounts payable to contract holders and third parties and related loss adjustment expenses, net of salvage and other recoveries, and are charged to statement of insurance operations and accumulated surplus as incurred.

Gross outstanding claims comprise the gross estimated cost of claims incurred but not settled at the date of statement of financial position, whether reported or not. Provisions for reported claims not paid as at the date of statement of financial position are made on the basis of individual case estimates. In addition, a provision based on management’s judgment and the Company’s prior experience is maintained for the cost of settling claims incurred but not reported at date of statement of financial position. The ultimate liability may be in excess of or less than the amount provided.


20

Any difference between the provisions at the date of statement of financial position and settlements and provisions in the following year is included in the underwriting account for that year. The Company do not discount its liabilities for unpaid claims as substantially all claims are expected to be paid within one year of the statement of financial position date.

Liability adequacy testAt each statement of financial position date, the Company assesses whether its recognised insurance liabilities are adequate using current estimates of future cash flows under its insurance contracts. If that assessment shows that the carrying amount of its insurance liabilities (less related deferred policy acquisition costs) is inadequate in the light of estimated future cash flows, the entire deficiency is immediately recognised in the statement of insurance operation and accumulated surplus and an unexpired risk provision is created. Deferred policy acquisition costsCommissions and other costs directly related to the acquisition and renewal of insurance contracts are deferred and amortized over the terms of the insurance contacts to which they relate, similar to premiums earned.

ReinsuranceThe Company cedes insurance risk in the normal course of business for all of its businesses. Reinsurance assets represent balances due from reinsurance companies. Recoverable amounts are estimated in a manner consistent with the outstanding claims provision and are in accordance with the reinsurance contract.

An impairment review is performed at each reporting date or more frequently when an indication of impairment arises during the reporting year. Impairment occurs when objective evidence exists that the Company may not recover outstanding amounts under the terms of the contract and when the impact on the amounts that the Company will receive from the reinsurer can be measured reliably. The impairment loss is recorded in the statement of insurance operations and accumulated surplus.

Ceded reinsurance arrangements do not relieve the Company from its obligations to policyholders.

Premiums and claims on assumed reinsurance are recognised as income and expenses in the same manner as they would be if the reinsurance were considered direct business, taking into account the product classification of the reinsured business.

Reinsurance liabilities represent balances due to reinsurance companies. Amounts payable are estimated in a manner consistent with the associated reinsurance contract.


21


At 31 December 2009

Premiums and claims are presented on a gross basis for both ceded and assumed reinsurance.

Reinsurance assets or liabilities are derecognised when the contractual rights are extinguished or expire or when the contract is transferred to another party.

Unearned commission incomeCommission receivable on outwards reinsurance contracts are deferred and amortized over the terms of the insurance contracts to which they relate. Amortisation is recorded in the statement of insurance operations and accumulated surplus.

Segmental reportingAn operating segment is a component of the Company that is engaged in business activities from which it earns revenues and incur expenses and about which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. For management purposes, the Company is organized into business units based on their products and services and has three reportable operating segments as follows:

• Health insurance which covers medical costs, medicines, and all other medical services and supplies.• Motor Insurance provides coverage against losses and liability related to motor vehicles, excluding transport insurance.• Other classes, which covers any other classes of insurance not included above.

Shareholders’ Funds is a non-operating segment. Income earned from time deposits and investments is the only revenue generating activity. Certain direct operating expenses and other overhead expenses are allocated to this segment on an appropriate basis. The loss or surplus from the insurance operations is allocated to this segment on an appropriate basis.

Segment performance is evaluated based on profit or loss which, in certain respects, is measured differently from profit or loss in the accompanying financial statements.

No inter-segment transactions occurred during the period. If any transaction were to occur, transfer prices between operating segments are set on an arm’s length basis in a manner similar to transactions with third parties. Segment income, expense and results will then include those transfers between operating segments which will then be eliminated at the level of financial statements of the Company.

6.SIGNIFICANTACCOUNTINGESTIMATESANDASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the disclosure


22

of contingent liabilities, at the reporting date. However, uncertainty about these estimates and assumptions could result in an outcome that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in the future.

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the date of statement of financial position, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities within the next financial period are discussed below.

The ultimate liability arising from claims made under insurance contractsThe estimation of the ultimate liability arising from claims made under insurance contracts is the Company’s most critical accounting estimate. There are several sources of uncertainty that needed to be considered in estimating the liability that the Company will ultimately pay for such claims. The provision for claims incurred but not reported (IBNR) is an estimation of claims which are expected to be reported subsequent to the date of statement of financial position, for which the insured event has occurred prior to the date of statement of financial position. The primary technique adopted by management in estimating the cost of notified and IBNR claims, is that of using the past claims settlement trends to predict future claims settlement trends.

Claims requiring court or arbitration decisions are estimated individually. Independent loss adjusters normally estimate property claims. Management reviews its provisions for claims incurred, and claims incurred but not reported, on quarterly basis.

The Company is exposed to disputes with, and possibility of defaults by, its reinsurers. The Company monitors on a quarterly basis the evolution of disputes with and the strength of its reinsurers

Impairment losses on receivablesThe Company assesses receivables that are individually significant and receivables included in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics for impairment. Receivables 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. This assessment of impairment requires judgment. In making this judgment, the Company evaluates credit risk characteristics that consider past-due status being indicative of the ability to pay all amounts due as per contractual terms.

Deferred acquisition costsCertain acquisition costs related to the sale of new policies are recorded as deferred acquisition costs (DAC) and are amortized in the statement of insurance operations and accumulated surplus over the related period of policy coverage. If the assumptions relating to future profitability of these policies are not realized, the amortization of these costs could be accelerated and this may also require additional impairment write-offs in the statement of insurance operations and accumulated surplus.

Total 789,210,270 12,264,067 20,882,129 822,356,466

Premiums and insurance balances receivables comprise a large number of customers mainly within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as well as reinsurance companies mainly in Europe. Premiums and insurance balances receivables include an amount of SR 56,967,897 due in foreign currencies, mainly US dollars. The Company’s terms of business generally require premiums to be settled within 90 days. Arrangements with reinsurers normally require settlement if the balance exceeds a certain agreed amount. No individual or company accounts for more than 24% of the receivables as of December 31, 2009. In addition, the five largest customers account for 45% of outstanding accounts receivable at December 31, 2009.

Unimpaired Premiums and insurance balances receivables are expected, on the basis of past experience, to be fully recoverable. It is not the practice of the Company to obtain collateral over receivables and the vast majority are, therefore, unsecured.

30.RISKMANAGEMENT

Risk governanceThe Company’s risk governance is manifested in a set of established policies, procedures and controls which uses the existing organisational structure to meet strategic targets. The Company’s philosophy revolves on willing and knowledgeable risk acceptance commensurate with the risk appetite and strategic plan approved by the Board. The Company is exposed to insurance, reinsurance, regulatory framework, credit, liquidity, foreign currency, commission rate, and market risks.

Risk management structureA cohesive organisational structure is established within the Company in order to identify, assess, monitor, and control risks.

Board of Directors The apex of risk governance is the centralised oversight of Board of Directors providing direction and the necessary approvals of strategies and policies in order to achieve defined corporate goals.

Senior managementSenior management is responsible for the day to day operations towards achieving the strategic goals within the Company’s pre-defined risk appetite.

Audit Committee and Internal Audit DepartmentRisk management processes throughout the Company are audited annually by the Internal Audit Department which examines both the adequacy of the procedures and the Company’s compliance with such procedures. The Internal Audit Department discusses the results of all assessments with senior management, and reports its findings and recommendations directly to the Audit Committee.

The risks faced by the Company and the manner in which these risks are mitigated by management are summarized below.

a. Insurance riskInsurance risk is the risk that actual claims payable to contract holders in respect of insured events exceed the carrying amount of insurance liabilities. This could occur because the frequency or amounts of claims severity, actual benefits paid and subsequent development of long term claims are different than expected. Therefore the objective of the Company is to ensure that sufficient resources are available to cover these liabilities. The insurance risk arising from insurance contracts is mainly concentrated in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

38

Frequency and amounts of claimsThe frequency and amounts of claims can be affected by several factors. The Company underwrites mainly motor and medical risks. These are regarded as short-term insurance contracts as claims are normally advised and settled within one year of the insured event taking place. This helps to mitigate insurance risk.

MotorFor motor contracts the main risks are claims for death and bodily injury and the replacement or repair of vehicles. In recent years, the Company has only underwritten comprehensive polices for owner/drivers over 18 years of age. Substantially all of the motor contracts relate to private individuals. The Company also has risk management procedures to control cost of claims. The Company has reinsurance cover to limit the losses for any individual claim to SR 750,000. MedicalThe Company’s underwriting strategy is designed to ensure that risks are well diversified in terms of type of risk and level of insured benefits. This is largely achieved through diversification across the industry sectors and geography, the use of medical screening in order to ensure that pricing takes account of current health conditions, regular view of actual claims experience and product pricing, as well as detailed claims handling procedures. The Company further enforces a policy of actively managing and promptly pursuing of claims, in order to reduce its exposure to unpredictable future developments that can negatively impact the Company. The Company has reinsurance cover to limit the losses for any individual claim to SR 35,000

b. Reinsurance riskIn common with other insurance companies, in order to minimize financial exposure arising from large claims, the Company, in the normal course of business, enters into agreements with other parties for reinsurance purposes. Such reinsurance arrangements provide for greater diversification of business, allow management to control exposure to potential losses arising from large risks, and provide additional capacity for growth. A significant portion of the reinsurance is affected under treaty, facultative and excess-of-loss reinsurance contracts.

To minimize its exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies, the Company evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors the concentrations of credit risk arising from similar geographic regions, activities and economic characteristics of reinsurers.

Reinsurance ceded contracts do not relieve the Company from its obligations to the policyholders and as a result the Company remains liable for a portion of outstanding claims reinsured to the extent that the reinsurer fails to meet the obligations under the reinsurance agreements. The credit exposure in this connection is:

c. Regulatory framework riskThe operations of the Company are subject to local regulatory requirements in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Such regulations not only prescribe approval and monitoring of activities but also impose certain restrictive provisions e.g. capital adequacy to minimize the risk of default and insolvency on the part of the insurance companies and to enable them to meet unforeseen liabilities as these arise.

d. Credit riskCredit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. For all classes of financial assets held by the Company, the maximum exposure to credit risk to the Company is the carrying value as disclosed in the statement of financial position.

The following policies and procedures are in place to mitigate the Company’s exposure to credit risk:

• The Company only enters into insurance and reinsurance contracts with recognised, credit worthy third parties. It is the Company’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition, receivables from insurance and reinsurance contracts are monitored on an ongoing basis in order to reduce the Company’s exposure to bad debts.• The Company seeks to limit credit risk with respect to agents and brokers by setting credit limits for individual agents and brokers and monitoring outstanding receivables.• The Company investment portfolio is managed by the investment officer in accordance with the investment policy established by the investment committee.• The Company, with respect to credit risk arising from other financial assets, is restricted to commercial banks, private banking and counterparties having strong balance sheets and credit ratings.• There are no significant concentrations of credit risk within the Company.

f. Liquidity riskLiquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial liabilities. Liquidity requirements are monitored on a monthly basis and management ensures that sufficient liquid funds are available to meet any commitments as they arise. A significant amount of funds are invested in time deposits with local banks.

g. Foreign currency riskCurrency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company principal transactions are carried out in Saudi Riyal. Management believes that there is minimal risk of significant losses due to exchange rate fluctuations and consequently the Company does not hedge its foreign currency exposure.

h. Commission rate riskCommission rate risk is the risk that the value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market commission rates. Floating rate instruments expose the company to cash flow commission risk, whereas fixed commission rate instruments expose the company to fair value interest risk.

The Company is exposed to commission rate risk on certain of its investments, cash and cash equivalents, term deposits and bank balances. The Company limits commission rate risk by monitoring changes in commission rates in the currencies in which its cash and cash equivalent and commission bearing investments and term deposits are denominated.

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity of statement of shareholders’ operations to reasonably possible changes in commission rates, with all other variables held constant.


45

The sensitivity of the statement of shareholders’ operations is the effect of the assumed changes in commission rates on the company’s profit for the year, based on the floating rate financial assets and financial liabilities held at 31 December 2009.

Effect on Change profit for in basis points the year/period

2009 + 25 45,530 - 25 (45,530)2008 + 25 34,881 - 25 (34,881)

i. Market price riskMarket price risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market.

The Company has unquoted equity instruments carried at cost or indicative selling price, where the impact of changes in equity price will only be reflected when the instrument is sold or deemed to be impaired and then the statement of shareholders’ operations will be impacted. The sensitivity of the statement of shareholders’ comprehensive operations is the effect of the assumed changes in the market prices of quoted available for sale investments on the statement of shareholders comprehensive operations.

Effect on statement of shareholders Change comprehensive in market price operations 2009 + 5% 4,638,067 - 5% 4,638,067

j. Capital managementCapital requirements are set and regulated by the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency. These requirements are put in place to ensure sufficient solvency margins. Further objectives are set by the Company to maintain healthy capital ratios in order to support its business objectives and maximise shareholders’ value.

The Company manages its capital requirements by assessing shortfalls between reported and required capital levels on a regular basis. Adjustments to current capital levels are made in light of changes in market conditions and risk characteristics of the Company’s activities. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders or issue shares. In the opinion of the Board of Directors, the Company has fully complied with the externally imposed capital requirements during the reported financial periods and no changes were made to capital management objectives, policies and processes from the previous year.
