Introduction of New Rule of Underwriting Introduction of New Rule of Underwriting Reserves related to natural disaster Reserves related to natural disaster

  • 1. Unearned Premiums

Tested adequacy of Unearned Premiums for Fire based on new rule. The amount of Unearned Premiums is sufficient for the level of expected now. To realize the above for 10 years, we implement following two measures.

  • Reserve 9% of net premiums for Fire yearly. ( 6.8% in FY2004)
  • Reserve additional Yen 23.4 bil. this FY recognized as extraordinary

losses.

6 6 6 6

  • 2. Catastrophic Loss Reserve

Plan to improve the amount of Catastrophic Loss Reserve for Fire from Yen 113.7 billion, current level, up to Yen 300 billion, sufficient level for the provision against the estimated losses by the natural disaster which incurs once in 70 years.
