The Company is engaged in life assurance business carrying on non-participating business only. In accordance with the
requirements of the I nsurance Ordinance, 2000, the C ompany has established a shar eholders' fund and the f ollowing
statutory funds in respect of its each class of life assurance business:
- Conventional Business
- Accident and Health
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below:
a) Statement of compliance
These consolidated financial sta tements are prepared in ac cordance with appr oved accounting standards as
applicable in Pakistan. Approved accounting standards comprise of such International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board as are notified under the Companies Ordinance, 1984,
provisions of and directives issued under the Companies Ordinance,1984, the Insurance Ordinance, 2000 and SEC
(Insurance) Rules, 2002. In case requirements differ, the provisions or directives of the Companies Ordinance, 1984,
Insurance Ordinance, 2000 and SEC (Insurance) Rules, 2002 shall prevail.
The SECP has allowed insurance companies to defer the application of International Accounting Standard - 39 (IAS
39) 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement' in respect of "investments available-for-sale" until suitable
amendments have been made in the laws. Accordingly, the requirements of IAS-39, to the extent allowed by SECP,
have not been considered in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.
b) Consolidation
Subsidiary company is the entity in which Holding Company directly or indirectly controls beneficially owns or holds
more than 50% of the voting securities or otherwise has power to elect and apoint more than 50% of its directors.
The financial statements of the subsidiary Company are included in the consolidated financial statements from the
date the control commences untill the date that control ceases.
The assets and liabilities of subsidiar y company have been consolidated on a line by line basis and car ying value
of investments held by the Holding Company is eliminated against Holding Company's share in paid up capital of
the subsidiary company.
Minority interests are that part of net results of the operations and of net assets of subsidiary company attributable
to interest which are not owned by the Holding Company. Minority interest are presented as separate item in the
consolidated financial statements.
c) Accounting convention
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except that certain
investments which are stated at lower of cost and market value and valuation of policy holders liability and employees'
retirement benefits which are carried on the basis of actuarial valuation. Accrual basis of accounting has been used
except for cash flow information.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with approved accounting standards as applicable
in Pakistan requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and income and expenses. It also requires management to exercise judgment in application
of its accounting policies. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various
other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions are
reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate
is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects
both current and future periods.
The areas involving a higher deg ree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estima tes are
significant to the consolidated financial statements or judgment was exercised in application of accounting policies
are as follows:
i) Provision for outstanding claims including incurred but not reported (IBNR)
Provision for liability in respect of unpaid reported claims is made on the basis of individual case estimates. Provision
for IBNR is based on the managemen t's best estimate which takes into account the past trends, expected future
patterns of reporting of claims and the claims actually reported subsequent to the balance sheet date.
ii) Provision for taxation including the amount relating to tax contingency
In making the estimates for income tax currently payable by the Group, the management takes into account the
current income tax law and the decisions of appellate authorities on certain issues in the past.
The receivable balances are reviewed against any provision required for any doubtful balances on an ongoing basis.
The provision is made while taking into consideration expected recoveries, if any.
Estimates with respect to residual values and useful lives and patterns of flow of economic benefits are based on
the analysis of the management of the Group. Further, the Group reviews the value of assets for possible impairment
on an annual basis. Any change in the estimates in the future might affect the carrying amount of respective item
of property, plant and equipment, with a corresponding effect on the depreciation charge and impairment.
The actuarial calculations are involved in determination of policy holders' liability arising from life insurance business
and the working of provision for defined benefit plans that are based on certain actuarial assumptions.
The Group classifies its investments into "available-for-sale", "held to maturity" and "at fair value through profit or
loss". The classification is determined by management at initial recognition and depends on the purpose for which
the investments are acquired.
Items included in these consolidated financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic
environment in which the Group operates. These consolidated financial statements are presented in Pak Rupees,
which is the Group's functional and presentation currency.
i) IFRS 7 'Financial Instruments: Disclosure'. The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) vide S.R.O
411(I) /2008 dated 28 April 2008 notified the adaption of IFRS 7. IFRS 7 is mandatory for Group's accounting periods
beginning on or af ter the da te of notifica tion i.e. 28 A pril 2008. IFRS 7 has superseded IAS 30 and disclosur e
requirements of IAS 32. A daption of IFRS 7 has only impac ted the format and extent of disclosures presented in
these financial statements.
ii) IAS 1 (Revised) ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’ (effective for annual accounting periods beginning on or after
01 January 2009) . The revised standard prohibits the presentation of items of income and expenses (that is, ‘non-
owner changes in equit y’) in the sta tement of changes in equit y, requiring ‘non-owner changes in equit y’ to be
presented separately from owner changes in equity. All ‘non-owner changes in equity’are required to be shown in
performance statement. Companies can choose either to present one performance statement (the statement of
comprehensive income) or two statements (profit and loss account and statement of comprehensive income).The
Group has preferred to present two statements; a profit and loss account and a statement of comprehensive income.
In these consolidated financial statements comparative information has been re-presented in conformity with the
revised standard.
Further, the Standard requires that if the entities have to restate or reclassify comparative information given in the
financial statements, in addition to presenting the balance sheet at the end of the current period and comparative
period, will also be required to present a restated balance sheet as at the beginning of comparative period. Since
this change in accounting policy only impacts presentation aspects, there is no impact on earnings per share.
iii) IFRS 4, ‘Insurance Contracts’. SECP vide S.R.O 149(1) 2009 da ted 11 February 2009 (read with circular No. 22/2009
dated 30 June 2009) notified the adaption of IFRS-4. It is mandatory for Group's annual accounting periods beginning
on or after 01 January 2009. IFRS-4 makes limited improvements to accounting for insurance contracts until the
Board completes the second phase of its project on insurance contracts. The standard also requires an entity issuing
insurance contracts (an insurer) to disclose information about those contracts. The required information has been
disclosed in notes to these consolidated financial statements.
iv) IFRS 8 'Operating Segments' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01 January 2009). It introduces the
"management approach" to segment reporting. IFRS 8 will require presentation and disclosure of segment information
based on the internal reports regularly reviewed by the Group's chief operating decision makers in order to assess
each segment's performance and to allocate resources to them. The adaption of IFRS 8 does not have any material
effect but has changed the criteria to determine the reportable segment and certain disclosures.
v) IAS 23 (amendment), ‘Borrowing costs’ (effective for the annual accounting periods beginning on or after 01 January
2009) is relevant to the current year’s financial statements. The amendment requires to capitalize borrowing costs
directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset (one that takes a substantial
period of time to get ready for use or sale) as par t of the cost of that asset. The option of immediately expensing
those borrowing costs has been removed. The Group has adapted the accounting policy of borrowing cost compliant
with the requirements of IAS-23.
g) Standards, interpretations and amendments to published approved accounting standards that are effective
in current year but not relevant
There are other new standards, interpretations and amendments to the published approved accounting standards
that are mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or af ter 01 Januar y 2009 but are considered not to be
relevant or do not ha ve any significant impact on these consolidated financial statements and are therefore not
detailed in these consolidated financial statements.
h) Standards, interpretations and amendments to published approved accounting standards that are not yet
effective but relevant:
IFRS 9 ‘Financial Instruments’ (effective for annual accounting periods beginning on or after 01 January 2013). IFRS
9 has superseded the IAS 39 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and M easurement’. It requires that all equit y
investments are to be measured at fair value while eliminating the cost model for unquoted equity investments.
Certain categories of financial instruments available under IAS 39 will be eliminated.
Moreover, it also amends certain disclosure requirements relating to financial instruments under IFRS 7. Adaption
of the aforesaid standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements other
than certain additional or revised disclosures.
i) Standards, interpretations and amendmen ts to published appr oved accounting standards that are not
effective in current year and not considered relevant:
There are other accounting standards, amendments to published accounting standards and new interpretations
that are mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or af ter 01 January 2010 but ar e considered not to be
relevant or do not have any significant impact on the consolidated financial statements and are therefore not detailed
in these financial statements.
Insurance contracts are those contracts where the Group (the insurer) has accepted significant insurance risk from another
party (the policyholders) by agreeing to compensate the policyholders if a specified uncertain future event (the insured
event) adversely affects the policyholders.
Once a contract has been classified as an insurance contract, it remains an insurance contract for the remainder of its life
time, even if the insurance risk reduces significantly during this period, unless all rights and liabilities are extinguished or
expired.
The Group neither issues investment contracts nor does it issue insurance contracts with discretionary participation features
(DPF).
2.2.1 Premium
Holding company
Premium received / receivable under a policy is recognized as written from the date of attachment of the policy to which
it relates. Premium income under a policy is recognized over the period of insurance from inception to expiry as follows:
(a) For direct business, evenly over the period of the policy;
(b) For proportional reinsurance business, evenly over the period of underlying insurance policies; and
(c) For non-proportional reinsurance business, in accordance with the pattern of the reinsurance service.
Where the pattern of incidence of risk varies over the period of the policy, premium is recognized as revenue in accordance
with the pattern of the incidence of risk.
Administrative surcharge is recognized as premium at the time the policies are written.
Provision for unearned premium represents the portion of premium written relating to the unexpired period of coverage
and is recognized as a liability by the company. This liability is calculated as follows:
- for marine cargo business and for motor business in the UAE, as a ratio of the unexpired period to the total period
of the policy applied on the gross premium of the individual policies; and
- for other classes / lines of business, by applying the twenty-fourths method as specified in the SEC (Insurance) Rules,
2002, as majority of the remaining policies are issued for a period of one year.
Receivables under insur ance contracts are recognized when due, at the fair v alue of the c onsideration receivable less
provision for doubtful debts, If any. Provision for impairment on premium receivables is established when there is objective
evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to original terms of receivable. Receivables
are also analyzed as per their ageing and accordingly provision is maintained on a systematic basis.
Subsidiary company
First year individual life premiums are recognised once the related policies have been issued and the premiums received.
Single premiums are recognised once the related policies are issued against the receipt of premium. Group life premiums
are recognised when due.
Premium due but unpaid is r ecognised at cost, which is the fair v alue of the consideration receivable, less provision for
impairment, if any.
Holding company
The Group enters into reinsurance contracts in the normal course of business in order to limit the potential for losses arising
from certain exposures. Outward reinsurance premiums are accounted for in the same period as the related premiums for
the direct or accepted reinsurance business being reinsured.
Reinsurance liabilities represent balances due to reinsurance companies. Amounts payable are estimated in a manner
consistent with the related reinsurance contract. Reinsurance assets represent balances due from reinsurance companies.
Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with the provision for outstanding claims or
settled claims associated with the reinsurance policies and are in accordance with the related reinsurance contract.
Reinsurance assets are not offset against related insurance liabilities. Income or expenses from reinsurance contract are not
offset against expenses or income from related insurance assets.
Reinsurance assets or liabilities are derecognized when the contractual rights are extinguished or expired.
The Group assesses its reinsurance assets for impairment on balance sheet date. If there is an objective evidence that the
reinsurance asset is impaired, the company reduces the carrying amount of the reinsurance asset to its recoverable amount
and recognizes that impairment loss in the profit and loss account.
Commission income from reinsurers is recognized at the time of issuance of the underlying insurance policy by the Group.
This income is deferred and brought to account as revenue in accordance with the pattern of recognition of the reinsurance
premium to which it relates. Profit commission, if any, which the company may be entitled to under the terms of reinsurance,
is recognized on accrual basis.
Subsidiary company
Reinsurance expense is recognised as a liability in accordance with the pattern of recognition of related premium and is
measured in line with the terms and conditions of the reinsurance treaty.
Holding company
General insurance claims include all claims occurring during the year, whether reported or not, related internal and external
claims handling costs that are directly related to the processing and settlement of claims, a reduction for the value of salvage
and other recoveries, (if any) and any adjustments to claims outstanding from previous years.
The Group recognizes the liability in respect of all claims incurred upto the balance sheet date which is measured at the
undiscounted value of the expected future payments. The claims are considered to be incurred at the time of the incident
giving rise to the claim except as otherwise expressly indicated in the insurance contract. The liability for claims include
amounts relating to unpaid reported claims, claims incurred but not reported (IBNR) and expected claims settlement costs.
Subsidiary company
Claims are recognised on the earlier of the policy expiry or the date when the intimation of the event giving rise to the claim
is received except for accident and health claims which are recognised as soon as a reliable estimate of the claim amount
can be made.
Claims liability includes amounts in relation to unpaid reported claims and estimated claims settlement cost. Full provision
is made for the estimated cost of claims incurred to the date of the balance sheet.
Claims recoveries receivable from the reinsurer are recognized as an asset at the same time as the claims which g ive rise
to the right of recovery are recognized as a liability and are measured at the amount expected to be received.
Holding company
Commission expense and other acquisition costs are charged to profit and loss account at the time the policies are accepted.
Commission income from reinsurers is recognized at the time of issuance of the underlying insurance policy. This income
is deferred and brought to account as revenue in accordance with the pattern of recognition of the reinsurance premium
to which it relates. Profit commission, if any, which the Group may be entitled under the terms of reinsurance, is recognized
on accrual basis.
Subsidiary company
These are costs incurred in acquiring insurance policies, maintaining such policies, and include without limitation all forms
of remuneration paid to insurance agents.
Commission and other expenses are recognised as expense in the earlier of the financial year in which they are paid and
financial year in which they bec ome due and pa yable, except that commission and other e xpenses which are directly
referable to the acquisition or renewal of specific contracts are recognised not later than the period in which the premium
to which they refer is recognised as revenue.
The Group maintains a provision in respect of premium deficiency for the class of business where the unearned premium
liability is not adequa te to meet the e xpected future liability, after reinsurance, from claims and other supplemen tary
expenses expected to be incurred after the balance sheet date in respect of the unexpired policies in that class of business
at the balance sheet date.
The movement in the premium deficiency reserve is recorded as an expense / income in profit or loss account for the year.
For this purpose, loss ratios for each class are estimated based on historical claim development. Judgment is used in assessing
the extent to which past trends may not apply in future or the effects of one-off claims. If these ratios are adverse, premium
deficiency is determined. The loss ratios estimated by holding company on these basis f or the unexpired portion are as
follows:
Based on an analysis of combined operating ratio for the expired period of each reportable segment, the management
considers that the unearned premium reserve for all classes of business as at the year end is adequate to meet the expected
future liability after reinsurance, from claims and other expenses expected to be incurred after the balance sheet date in
respect of policies in those classes of business in force at the balance sheet date. Hence, no reserve for the same has been
made in these financial statements.
Due to first year operation, subsidiary company has not calculated such loss ratios as any such amounts are at present not
likely to be material.
Holding company
The company operates an approved contributory provident fund scheme f or all its elig ible employees. Equal monthly
contributions to the fund are made by the company and the employees at the rate of 8.33% of basic salary.
(a) an approved funded gratuity scheme for all its permanent employees in Pakistan. Annual contributions are made
to the schemes on the basis of actuarial recommendations. The actuarial valuation is carried out using the projected
unit credit method. Actuarial gains and losses are amortized over the expected future service of the current members.
Gratuity is payable to staff on completion of the prescribed qualifying period of service under the scheme;
(b) unfunded gratuity schemes covering the employees in the UAE as per the requirements of the applicable regulations.
Provision is made in the financial statements based on the management's best estimate of the liability in respect
of these schemes.
Subsidiary company
The Company operates an unfunded gratuity scheme covering eligible employees whose period of employment with the
Company is six months or more. The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of the defined benefit scheme is
the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date together with adjustments for unrecognised
actuarial gains or losses. The defined benefit obligation is determined annually by the appointed actuary using projected
unit credit method.
Actuarial gains / losses in e xcess of ten percent of the higher of ac tuarial liabilities at the end of last r eporting year are
recognised over the average lives of employees.
The Group accounts for these benefits in the period in which the absences are earned.
Liabilities for creditors and other amounts payable are carried at cost which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid
in the future for the goods and / or services received, whether or not billed to the group.
Provisions are recognized when there is a present, legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events and it is probable
that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate
of the amount can be made. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best
estimate.
Cash and cash equivalents are carried in the balance sheet at cost. For the purpose of cash flow statement, cash and cash
equivalents comprise of cash and bank deposits and short-term bank borrowings and excludes bank balances held under
lien.
2.7 Investments
All investments are initially recognized at cost being the fair value of the consideration given and include transaction costs.
All purchases and sales of in vestments that require delivery within the time fr ame established by regulations or market
convention are accounted for at the trade date. Trade date is the date when the Group commits to purchase or sell the
investment:
- Held-to-maturity
- Available-for-sale
- At fair value through profit or loss
2.7.1 Held-to-maturity
Investments with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity, where the management has both the intent and the
ability to hold the investments to maturity, are classified as held-to-maturity.
Subsequent to initial recognition at cost, these investments are measured at amortized cost less any accumulated impairment
losses. Amortized cost is calculated taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition by using the eff ective
interest rate method.
2.7.2 Available-for-sale
Investments which are intended to be held for an undefined period of time but may be sold in response to the need for
liquidity, changes in interest rates, equity prices or exchange rates are classified as available-for-sale.
Subsequent to initial recognition at cost, these are stated at the lower of cost or market value (market value being taken
as lower if the reduction is other than temporary) in accordance with the requirements of the SEC (Insurance) Rules, 2002.
The company uses st ock exchange quotations at the balanc e sheet da te to determine the mar ket value of its quot ed
investments whereas fair value of investments in delisted / unlisted companies is determined by reference to the net assets
and financial position of the investee on the basis of the latest available audited financial statements.
In case of fixed income securities redeemable at a given date where the cost is different from the redemption value, such
difference is amortized uniformly over the period between the acquisition date and the date of maturity in determining
'cost' at which these investments are stated as per the requirements of the SEC (Insurance) Rules, 2002.
A financial asset is classified into the 'financial assets at fair value through profit or loss' category at inception if acquired
principally for the purpose of selling in the shor t term, if it forms part of a por tfolio of financial assets in which ther e is
evidence of short term profit taking, or if so designated by the management. Subsequently, these are measured at fair value
and gains and losses arising from change in fair value are included in the profit and loss account / revenue account.
2.8 Taxation
2.8.1 Current
Provision for current taxation is based on taxable income at the current rates of taxation after taking into account tax credits
and rebates available, if any. The charge for the current taxation also includes adjustments where considered necessary,
relating to prior years which arise from assessments framed / finalized during the year or required by any other reason.
2.8.2 Deferred
Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of all temporary differences arising from
differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial sta tements and the corresponding tax
bases used in the computation of the taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary
differences and deferred tax assets to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the
deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and tax credits can be utilized.
Deferred tax is calculated at the rates that are expected to apply to the period when the differences reverse based on tax
rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the
profit and loss account, except in the case of items credited or charged to equity in which case it is included in equity.
2.9.1 Tangible
Owned fixed assets, other than fr eehold land which is not depr eciated and capital w ork-in-progress, are stated at cost,
signifying historical cost, less accumulated depreciation and any provision for impairment. Freehold land and capital work-
in-progress are carried at cost less impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is charged to income applying varying methods
depending upon the na ture of the asset , at the rates specified for calculation of depreciation after taking into account
residual value, if any. The useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate,
at each balance sheet date.
Assets subject to finance lease are accounted for by recording the assets at the lower of present value of minimum lease
payments under lease agreements and the fair value of asset at the inception of the lease contract. The related obligation
under the lease is accounted for as liability. Financial charges are allocated to accounting period in a manner so as to provide
a constant periodic rate of charge on the outstanding liability.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when
it is probable that future benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured
reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to profit and loss account as and when incurred.
Depreciation on additions is charged from the month the assets are available for use while on disposals, depreciation is
charged up to the month in which the assets are disposed off.
The carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate
that this carrying value may not be recoverable. If any such indications exist and where the carrying values exceed the
estimated recoverable amounts, the assets are written down to their recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount of the assets disposed off.
These are included in the profit and loss account currently.
2.9.2 Intangible
These are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and any provision for impairment.
Amortization is calculated from the month the assets are available for use using the straight-line method, whereby the cost
of the intangible asset is amortized over its estimated useful life over which economic benefits are expected to flow to the
company. The useful life and amortization methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.
Software development costs are only capitalized to the extent that future economic benefits are expected to be derived
by the Group.
The carrying values of intangible assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate
that this carrying value may not be recoverable. If any such indications exist and where the carrying values exceed the
estimated recoverable amounts, the assets are written down to their recoverable amount.

date. The results of foreign branches are translated to Pak Rupees at the average rate of exchange for the year. Translation
gains and losses are included in the profit and loss account, except those arising on the translation of the net investment
in foreign branches, which are taken to the capital reserves (exchange translation reserve)
Financial assets and liabilities are recognized at the time when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions
of the instrument and de-recognized when the Group loses control of contractual rights that comprise the financial assets

The Group presents basic earnings per share (EPS) for its shareholders. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss
attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Holding C ompany by the w eighted average number of or dinary shares
outstanding during the period / year.
Shares are classified as equit y when ther e is no obliga tion to transfer cash or other assets . Incremental costs directly
attributable to the issue of equity instruments are shown in equity as a deduction from the proceeds.
2.18 Impairment

impairment of any asset or a group of assets. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of such assets is estimated
and the impairment losses are recognized in the profit and loss account currently.
Provisions for impairment are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Changes
in the provisions are recognized as income / expense currently.
Holding company
Revised policy
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision
makers (the board of directors) who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing per formance of the operating
segments.
The segment reporting is accounted for using the classes of business as specified under the Insurance Ordinance, 2000 and
the SEC (Insurance) Rules, 2002 as the primary reporting format based on the practice of reporting to the management on
the same basis.
Assets, liabilities and capital expenditures that are directly attributable to segments have been assigned to them while the
carrying amount of certain assets used jointly by two or more segments have been allocated to segments on a reasonable
basis. Those assets and liabilities which cannot be allocated to a particular segment on a reasonable basis are reported as
unallocated corporate assets and liabilities.
Previous policy
A business segment is a group of assets and operations engaged in providing products or services (business segment) or
in providing product or services within a particular economic environment (geographical segment) which are subject to
risks and returns that are different from those of other business segments.
This change in policy has been made on initial application of International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS - 8) 'Operating
Segments'. There is no financial impac t of this change in ac counting policy on these c onsolidated financial statements
except for certain change in the disclosures.
Subsidiary company
The Company operates in Pakistan only. The Company has two primary business segments for reporting purposes namely;
Conventional Business and Accident and Health Business. The Company accounts for segment reporting using the classes
or sub-classes of business (Statutory Funds) as specified under the Insurance Ordinance, 2000 and SEC (Insurance) Rules,
2002 as the primary reporting format.
The Conventional Business seg ment includes I ndividual Life and Gr oup Life. The Individual Life business pr ovides life
assurance coverage to individuals under conventional policies issued by the Company. The Group Life business provides
life assurance coverage to members of business en terprises and corporate entities under group life insurance schemes
issued by the Company and insurance coverage to a group of members or subscribers registered under a common platform.
Accident and Health business seg ment provides fixed pecuniary benefits or benefits in the na ture of indemnit y or a
combination of both in case of accident or sickness to individuals.
Interest, mark-up and other charges on long-term finances are capitalized up to the date of commissioning of respective
qualifying assets acquired out of the proceeds of such long-term finances. All other interest, mark-up and other charges

of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, whenever required between funds are made on the basis c ertified by the
appointed actuary of the C ompany. Policyholders’ liabilities have been included in sta tutory funds on the basis of the
actuarial valuation carried out by the appointed actuary of the Company on the balance sheet date as required by section

4.1 The reserve for exceptional losses represents the amount set aside in prior years up to 31 December 1978, in order to avail
the deduction while computing the taxable income under the old Income Tax Act of 1922. Subsequent to the introduction
of repealed Income Tax Ordinance, 1979, which did not permit the said deduction, the company discontinued the setting
aside of amounts as reserve for exceptional losses.
4.2 This amount has been set aside in pr ior years for utilization against possible diminution in the v alue of in vestments.
4.3 The exchange translation reserve represents the gain resulted from the translation of foreign branches (having business
in foreign currencies) of holding company into Pak Rupees. For the purpose of exchange translation reserve, the UAE and
Export Processing Zone branches are treated as f oreign branches since these car ry on their business in AED and US$
respectively.
In the previous years, the holding company did not properly account for the effect of translation of foreign operations in
to Pak Rupees. However, during the year the required correction has been made and the eff ect of translation of foreign
operations into Pak Rupees has been ac counted for retrospectively by the holding c ompany in ac cordance with the
International Accounting Standard (IAS) 8 'Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors'. The effect of

6.1 Gross of reinsurance
6.3 The appointed actuary of the subsidiary company (life insurance business) has carried out a valuation of the policyholders'
liabilities with respect to the Conventional Business and Accident and Health Business Statutory Funds as per section 50
of the Insurance Ordinance, 2000. The significant assumptions used in the valuations are as follows:
In case of individual life policies, the valuation of policyholders' liabilities has been based on the disc ount rate of 3.75%,
which is in line with the r equirements under the repealed Insurance Act, 1938 and is considerably lower than the actual
investment return being managed on the conventional portfolio. The difference between the above and actual investment
return is intended to be available for meeting administration expense and provide margins for adverse deviation.
In case of group life policies, the policyholders' liability only includes reserve for unearned premium in accordance with the
advice of the appointed actuary.
For the purpose of valuing the life assurance contracts, the mortality assumption used is EFU 61-66. This table reflects the
mortality expectation in Pakistan. In the opinion of appointed actuary, the table gives the closest match to the underlying
mortality of the covered population.
6.3.3 Surrenders
For the purpose of valuation of conventional business, no provision has been made for lapses and surrenders. This gives
prudence to the value placed on the liability by not taking any credits for the profits made on surrenders.
Liability for claims "Incurred But Not Reported" (IBNR) is normally included in policyholders' liabilities. However, no liability
in respect of IBNR claims has been recognised at 31 December 2009 by the subsidiary company based on the advice received
from the appointed actuary as the subsidiary company in its initial year of operation and any such amounts are at present
not likely to be material.
General insurance
8.1 The above provision relates to the holding company's operations in UAE. Actuarial valuation has not been obtained as the
liability is not material.
8.2 The subsidiary company operates an unfunded g ratuity scheme for all permanent employees. An actuarial valuation is
carried out at 31 December 2009 to determine the liabilit y of the C ompany in respect of the scheme . The information

11.1 Contingencies:
Holding company
The income tax assessments of the c ompany have been finalized up to and including the tax y ear 2009. However, the
company has filed appeals in respect of certain assessment years mainly on account of following:
(i) The Deputy Commissioner of Income Tax (DCIT) has finalized assessments for the assessment year 1999-2000 by
taxing capital gains at the full rate of 33%. The aggregate tax liability assessed by the DCIT amounted to Rupees
48.205 million against which the company has made a total provision of Rupees 44.141 million resulting in a shortfall
of Rupees 4.064 million. The company filed appeals with the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) and Income Tax
Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) which were decided against the company. Consequently the company has filed an appeal
before the Honorable High Court of Sindh and the petition is fixed for regular hearing;
ii) The Additional Commissioner / Taxation Officer has reopened assessments for the assessment years 2000-2001 and
2001-2002 by taxing bonus shares received by the company during the above mentioned periods resulting in an
additional tax liability of Rupees 14.907 million. An appeal was filed before the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals)
who cancelled the amended order passed by the Additional Commissioner and allowed relief to the company but
the Tax Department had filed an appeal before the ITAT against the order of the Additional Commissioner, which
has been decided in favour of the company. There are chances that the Tax Department will file an appeal against
the decision of ITAT;
iii) While finalizing the assessment for the assessment year 2002-2003, DCIT has reduced the business loss for the year
by Rupees 88.180 million by adjusting the dividend income against this loss. The company maintains that it is entitled
to carry the gross loss forward for adjustment against the future taxable income and dividend income for the year
should be taxed separately at reduced rate. The appeals of the company in this respect have been rejected by the
Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), the ITAT and the Sindh High Court. The company has now filed a reference
application with the Supreme Court of Pakistan. The management is confident that the matter will eventually be
decided in favor of the company and has consequently not made any provision against the additional tax liability
of Rupees 26.455 million which may arise in this respect.
iv) The Tax Authorities have also amended the assessments for tax years 2003 to 2007 on the ground that the company
has not apportioned management and general administration expenses against capital gain and dividend income.
The company has filed constitution petition in the High Court of Sindh against the amendment in the assessment
order. The company may be liable to pay Rupees 5.881 million in the ev ent of decision against the c ompany, out
of which Rupees 2.727 million has been provided by the company resulting in a shortfall of Rupees 3.154 million.
v) The Taxation Officer has passed an order in the tax year 2005 and 2006 under section 221 of the Income Tax Ordinance,
2001 (the Ordinance) levying minimum tax liability aggregating to Rupees 38.358 million. An appeal had been filed
before the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) who upheld the order of the Taxation Officer. The Company has
filed an appeal before ITAT which is pending to be heard.
vi) The Taxation Officer has passed an order under section 161/205 of the Ordinance in Tax year 2007 creating a demand
of Rupees 1.263 million. The company filed an appeal before the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) which has
been decided against the company. The company is filing an appeal before the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal.
Pending resolution of the above-mentioned appeals filed by the company, no provision has been made in these consolidated
financial statements for the aggregate amount of Rupees 88.201 million (31 December 2008: Rupees 48.580 million) as the
management is confident that the eventual outcome of the above matters will be in favor of the company.

(market value being taken as lower if the reduction is other than temporary). However, International Accounting Standard
(IAS) 39, "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurements" dealing with the recognition and measurement of financial
instruments requires that these instruments should be measured at fair value. Accordingly, had these investments been
measured at fair value, their carrying value as at 31 December 2009 would have been higher by Rupees 496.835 million
(2008: lower by Rupees 841.385 million).

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk (including interest /
mark-up rate risk, price risk and currency risk). The Group's overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability
of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the financial performance. Overall risks arising from
the Group's financial assets and liabilities are limited. The Group consistently manages its exposure to financial risk without
any material change from previous period in the manner described in notes below. The Board of Directors of the holding
company has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of Group's risk management framework. The Board
is also responsible for developing the Group's risk management policies.
Credit risk is the risk that arises with the possibility that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge its obligation
and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Group attempts to control credit risk by monitoring credit exposures
by undertaking transactions with a large number of counterparties in various industries and by continually assessing the
credit worthiness of counterparties.
Concentration of credit risk occurs when a number of counterparties have a similar type of business activities. As a result
any change in economic, political or other conditions would affect their ability to meet contractual obligations in similar
manner. The Group's credit risk exposure is not sig nificantly different from that reflected in the c onsolidated financial
statements. The management monitors and limits the Gr oup's exposure and conservative estimates of pr ovisions for
doubtful assets, if any. The management is of the view tha t it is not exposed to significant concentration of credit risk as
its financial assets are adequately diversified in entities of sound financial standing, covering various industrial sectors.
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure, as specified below:

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. Prudent liquidity
risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and mar ketable securities and the a vailability of adequate funds
through committed credit facilities. The Group finances its operations through equity, borrowings and working capital with
a view to maintaining an appropriate mix between various sources of finance to minimize risk. The management follows
an effective cash management program to mitigate the liquidity risk.
The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments on an undiscounted

Financial liabilities
Market risk means that the fair v alue or future cash flows of a financial instrumen t will fluctuate because of changes in
market prices. The objective is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing
the return. The market risks associated with the Group's business activities are interest / mark up rate risk, price risk and
currency risk.
Interest / mark-up rate risk is the risk that value of a financial instrument or future cash flows of a financial instrument will
fluctuate due to changes in the market interest/mark-up rates. Sensitivity to interest / markup rate risk arises from mismatching
of financial assets and liabilities that mature or repaid in a given period. The Group manages this mismatchment through
risk management strategies where significant changes in gap position can be adjusted. At the reporting date the interest
markup rate profile of the Group's significant interest / markup bearing financial instruments was as follows:
At the balance sheet date, the interest rate profile of the Group's significant interest bearing financial instruments.

Sensitivity analysis
The Group does not account for any fixed rate financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Therefore,
a change in interest rate at the balance sheet date would not affect profit or loss of the Gr oup. For cash flow sensitivity
analysis of variable rate instruments a hypothetical change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would
have decreased / (incr eased) profit for the y ear by the amoun ts shown below. I t is assumed tha t the changes oc cur
immediately and uniformly to each category of instrument containing interest rate risk. Variations in market interest rates
could produce significant changes at the time of early repayments. For these reasons, actual results might differ from those
reflected in the details specified below. The analysis assumes that all variables remain constant.
As at 31 December 2008
Cash flow sensitivity-variable rate financial liabilities - -
Cash flow sensitivity-variable rate financial assets 23,329 (23,329)
b) Price risk
Price risk represents the risk that the fair value of a financial instrumen t will fluctuate because of changes in the mar ket
prices (other than those ar ising from interest / mark up rate risk or currency risk), whether those changes are caused by
factor specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all or similar financial instrument traded
in the market. The Group is exposed to equity price risk that arises as a result of changes in the levels of KSE-Index and the
value of individual shares. The equity price risk exposure arises from the Group's investments in equity securities for which
prices in the future are uncertain. The Group policy is to manage price risk through selection of blue chip securities.
The Group's strategy is t o hold its str ategic equity investments on long t erm basis. Thus, Group's management is not
concerned with short term price fluctuations with respect to its strategic investments provided that the underlying business,
economic and management characteristics of the investee remain favorable. Group strives to maintain above average levels
of shareholders' capital to provide a margin of safety against short term equity price volatility. The Group manages price
risk by monitoring exposure in quoted equity securities and implementing the strict discipline in internal risk management
and investment policies.
The Group has investments in quoted equity securities amounting to Rupees 7,794.483 million at the balance sheet date.
The carrying value of investments subject to equity price risk are, in almost all instances, based on quoted market prices
as of the balanc e sheet date. Market prices are subject to fluctuation which may result from perceived changes in the
underlying economic characteristics of the in vestee, the r elative price of alt ernative investments and gener al market
conditions.
Sensitivity Analysis
As the en tire investment portfolio has been classified in the a vailable-for-sale category, a 10% incr ease / decr ease In
redemption value and share prices at year end would have increased / decreased impairment loss of investment recognized
in profit and loss account or in revenue account of both statutory funds of life insurance business as follows:
c) Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes
in foreign exchange rates. The Group’s principal transactions are carried out in P ak Rupees and its e xposure to foreign
exchange risk arises primarily with respect to AED and US dollar. Financial assets and liabilities exposed to foreign exchange
risk amounted to Rupees 2,355.100 million (2008:Rupees 1,774.983 million) and Rupees 1,523.086 million (2008:Rupees
1,024.001million) respectively, at the end of the year.
The following significant exchange rates were applied during the year:
2009 2008
(Rupees)
Rupees per US Dollar
Average rate 81.72 70.81
Reporting date rate 84.10 78.70
The principal risk the Group faces under insurance contracts is that the actual claims and benefit payments or the timing
thereof, differ from expectations. This is influenced by the frequency of claims, severity of claims, actual benefits paid and
subsequent development of long-term claims. Therefore the objective of the Group is to ensure that sufficient reserves are
available to cover these liabilities. The above risk exposure is mitigated by diversification across a large portfolio of insurance
contracts and geog raphical areas. The variability of r isks is also impr oved by careful selection and implemen tation of
underwriting strategy guidelines, as well as the use of r einsurance arrangements. Further, strict claim review policies to
assess all new and ongoing claims , regular detailed review of claims handling procedures and frequent investigation of
possible fraudulent claims and similar pr ocedures are put in place to reduce the risk exposure of the Group. The Group
further enforces a policy of actively managing and prompt pursuing of claims, in order to reduce its exposure to unpredictable
future developments that can negatively impact the Group.
Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with the outstanding claims provision and are
in accordance with the reinsurance contracts.
Although the Group has reinsurance arrangements, it is not relieved of its direct obligations to its policyholders and thus
a credit exposure exists with respect to ceded insurance, to the extent that any reinsurer is unable to meet its obligations
assumed under such reinsurance agreements. The Group’s placement of reinsurance is diversified such that it is neither
dependent on a single reinsurer nor are the operations of the Group substantially dependent upon any single reinsurance
contract. Reinsurance policies are written with approved reinsurers on either a proportionate basis or non proportionate
basis. The reinsurers are carefully selected and approved, or dispersed over several geographical regions .
Experience shows that larger is the portfolio of similar insurance contracts, smaller the relative variability about the expected
outcome will be. In addition, a more diversified portfolio is less likely to be affected across the board by a change in any
subset of the portfolio. The Group has developed its insurance underwriting strategy to diversify the type of insurance risks
accepted and within each of the categories to achieve a sufficiently large population of risks to reduce the variability of the
expected outcome.
The Group principally issues the gener al insurance contracts (by Holding Company) e.g. marine and aviation, property,
motor and general accidents and life insurance policies (by Subsidiary Company) with respect to statutory funds established
in accordance with the requirements of the law i.e. for conventional business and accident and health business. Risks under
non-life insurance policies usually cover twelve months duration which in life insurance policies covers longer terms. For
general insurance contracts the most significant risks arise from accidental fire, atmospheric disaster and terrorist activities
and for life insurance these arise from accidental death and other health insurance of the insured persons. Insurance contracts
at times also cover risk for single incidents that expose the Group to multiple insurance risks.
To optimize benefits from the principle of average and low of large numbers, geographical spread of risk is of e xtreme
importance. There are a number of parameters which are significant in assessing the accumulation of risks with reference
to the geographical location, the most important of which is risk survey.
In general insurance risk surveys are carried out on a regular basis for the evaluation of physical hazards associated primarly
with the commercial / industrial / residential occupation of the insured. Details regarding the fire separation / segregation
with respect to the manufacturing processes, storage, utilities, etc are extracted from the layout plan of the insured facility.
Such details are formed part of the reports which are made available to the underwriters / reinsurers for their evaluation.
Reference is made to the standard construction specifications laid down by IAP (Insurance Association of Pakistan). For
instance, the presence of Perfect Party Walls, Double Fire Proof Iron Doors, physical separation between the building within
a insured's premises. It is basically the property contained within an area which is separated by another property by sufficient
distance to confine insured damage from uncontrolled fire and explosion under the most adverse conditions to that one
area. In respect of life insurance, comprehensive medical clearance and other factors are reviewed in detail to assess the
risks beforehead.
Address look-up and geocoding is the essential field of the policy data interface of IT systems. It provides instant location
which is dependant on data collection provided under the policy schedule. All critical underwriting information is punched
into the IT system / application through which a number of MIS r eports can be generated to assess the concentration of
risk.
The ability to manage catastrophic risk is tied to managing the density of risk within a particular area. For the catastrophic
aggregates, the IT system also assigns precise geographic CRESTA ( Catastrophic Risk Evaluating and Standardizing Target
Accumulations) codes with reference to the accumulation of sums insured in force at any particular location against natural
perils. A risk management solution is implemented to help assess and plan for risk in catastrophic scenarios. It provides a
way to better visualize the risk exposure to the Group determines the appropriate amount of reinsurance coverage to protect
the business portfolio.
b) Reinsurance arrangements
Keeping in view the maximum exposure in respect of key zone aggregates, a number of proportional and non-proportional
reinsurance arrangements are in place to protect the net account in case of a major ca tastrophe or loss. Apart from the
adequate event limit which is a multiple of the tr eaty capacity or the primary recovery from the proportional treaty, any
loss over and above the said limit would be recovered from the non-proportional treaty which is very much in line with the
risk management philosophy of the Group.
In compliance of the r egulatory requirement, the reinsurance agreements are duly submitt ed with the S ecurities and
Exchange Commission of Pakistan on an annual basis.

c) Sensitivity Analysis
The risks associated with the insur ance contracts are complex and subjec t to a number of v ariables which complicate
quantitative sensitivity analysis. The Group makes various assumptions and techniques based on past claims development
experience. This includes indications such as average claims cost, ultimate claims numbers and expected loss ratios. The
Group considers that the liability for insurance claims recognized in the balance sheet is adequate. However, actual experience
may differ from the expected outcome.
Some results of sensitivity testing are set out below, showing the impact on profit before tax net of reinsurance.
The following table shows the development of claims over a period of time. The disclosure goes back to the period when
the earliest material claim arose for which there is still uncertainty about the amount and timing of the claims payments.
Since this is the first year of operations by subsidiary company, the analysis in (d) above, is given only in respect of holding
company.
The carrying values of all financial assets and liabilities r eflected in these consolidated financial statements approximate
to their fair values except for available-for-sale investments which are stated at lower of cost and market value in accordance
with the requirements of the SEC (I nsurance) Rules, 2002. The carrying and fair v alue of these in vestments have been
disclosed in note 14 to the financial statements.
The Board of Directors of the holding company in their meeting held on 30 March 2010 proposed a final cash dividend for
the year ended 31 December 2009 @ 15% Rupees 1.50/- shar e (2008: @ 10% Rupee 1.0/- shar e). This is in addition to the
interim dividend @ 15% Rupees 1.50/- share (2008: @ 15% Rupees 1.5/- share) resulting in a total cash dividend for the year
ended 31 December 2009 of Rupees 3/- per share (2008: Rupees 2.5/- share). The Board also proposed issue of bonus shares
@ 10% i.e 10 ordinary shares for every 100 ordinary shares held (2008: @ 10% i.e 10 ordinary shares for every 100 ordinary
shares held).The approval of the members f or the cash dividend and bonus shar es will be obtained a t the forthcoming
Annual General Meeting. The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2009 do not include the
effect of these appropriations which will be accounted for in the consolidated financial statements for the year ending 31
December 2010.
