This is partly determined on a product basis and partly determined on a profit basis. The income tax expense has been determined after aggregating various classes of business, each with different tax rates. The rates of taxation applicable to the taxable income of significant classes of business are as follows: % % Applicable tax rates for classes of business Annuity and pension business (1) Exempt Exempt Complying superannuation business (2) Ordinary class of business Shareholder funds Notes 1. Segregated Exempt Assets (SEA) 2.

To prevent derivatives being used as a source of gearing, all derivatives have to be wholly or partly cash covered depending on the type of risk undertaken. The investment mandates specifically prohibit the use of derivatives for leveraged trading. Leverage here is defined as creating a portfolio which would have sensitivity to an underlying economic or financial variable which is greater than could be achieved using only physical securities. Derivatives are used within the investment portfolios where it is more efficient to use derivatives rather than physical securities. The use of derivatives is consistent with the objectives of the overall investment strategies and is one of the means by which these strategies are implemented. 7.

The policy liability calculations are performed by actuarial personnel, using policy data, and are approved by the Appointed Actuary, Mr Joshua Corrigan (Fellow of the Actuaries Institute of Australia). Life insurance contract policy liabilities are determined using statistical or mathematical methods, which are expected to give approximately the same results as if an individual liability was calculated for each contract. The computations are made by suitably qualified personnel on the basis of recognised actuarial methods, with due regard to relevant actuarial principles and standards. The methodology takes into account the risks and uncertainties of the particular classes of life insurance business written. Life insurance contract policy liabilities are determined to cover future expected claims, expenses and premiums, and ensure a release of profits as services are provided under the contracts. The profits release is controlled by a profit carrier. The profit carriers for the major business types of life insurance contracts are as follows: Business type Conventional participating Participating and non-participating investment account and allocated pension Lump sum risk and accidental cash back Disability income Other Profit carrier Supportable bonuses Interest credits Expected premium payments Expected benefit/claims payments Expected benefit/claim payments SUNCORP LIFE & SUPERANNUATION LIMITED FINANCIAL REPORT 2014/15 13

14 9.3. Actuarial assumptions, judgments and estimates used in calculating life insurance contract liabilities Experience is examined in detail on at least an annual basis, with assumptions set having regard to the Company s experience, observed trends and future outlook.the key factors affecting the determination of the policy liabilities and the critical assumptions and judgments made, as well as significant changes since 2014 (if applicable) are set out below: Investment earnings and discount rates: based on ten-year Australian Government bond yields. Adjustments made as necessary for participating contracts. Voluntary discontinuance: rates are based upon recent internal investigations. Allowance is also made for cash withdrawals. Mortality: individual risk products: rates are based upon recent internal investigations. Rates are expressed as a multiple of standard mortality tables developed by the local actuarial bodies. Mortality: annuitants: rates are based upon recent internal investigations. Mortality rates for annuitants have been determined using the standard table IM/IF80 with adjustments for assumed future age-related improvements. Table IM/IF80 was developed by the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries based on UK annuitant lives experience from 1979 to Morbidity: rates are based on recent internal investigations. For total and permanent disablement policies, rates are expressed as a multiple of industry and population experience. For trauma policies, assumed incidence rates are based on Australian population statistics with adjustments to reflect experience and policy conditions. The following table shows the ranges of the adjustments to the base industry tables, ranges of investment earnings and actual annual lapse rates for 2014 and % % Investment earnings pre-tax for participating business Risk free pre-tax discount rates for non-participating business Annual lapse rate (voluntary discontinuance) Mortality individual risk products adjustment Mortality annuitants adjustment Future improvements in mortality annuitants adjustment Group claims ratio SUNCORP LIFE & SUPERANNUATION LIMITED FINANCIAL REPORT 2014/15 14

21 13. Capital management The Company is part of the Suncorp Group. The capital management strategy of the Suncorp Group is to optimise shareholder value by managing the level, mix and use of capital resources. The primary objective is to ensure there are sufficient capital resources to maintain and grow the business, in accordance with risk appetite. The Suncorp Group s Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) provides the framework to ensure that the Suncorp Group as a whole, and each regulated entity, is capitalised to meet internal and external requirements. The Company is required to hold prudential reserves over and above its life insurance contract and investment contract liabilities, as a buffer against adverse experience and poor investment returns. All life insurance companies that conduct insurance business in Australia are authorised by APRA and are subject to Prescribed Capital Amounts (PCA). The PCA is the minimum level of capital that the regulator deems must be held to meet policyholder obligations. The Company calculates the PCA using the standardised frameworks in accordance with the relevant APRA Prudential Standards. In addition to the regulatory capital requirements, the Company maintains a target surplus providing additional capital buffer against adverse events. The Company uses internal capital models to determine its target surplus, with the models reflecting the various key risks of the business. These mainly include the risk of adverse asset movements relative to the liabilities and of worse than expected claims costs. The PCA requirements and coverage ratio of the Company are as follows: Statutory Fund No Statutory Fund No. 2 Total Statutory Funds Shareholder Fund Total $m $m $m $m $m Capital base Net assets as per the Life Act 1, , ,227.9 Total regulatory adjustments to net assets (975.1) - (975.1) - (975.1) Tier 2 capital Total capital base (A) Prescibed capital Insurance risk capital charge Asset risk charge Operational risk charge Less aggregation benefit (24.4) - (24.4) - (24.4) Combined stress scenario adjustment Total PCA (B) PCA coverage ratios (times) (A/B) Capital base Net assets as per the Life Act 1, , ,097.6 Total regulatory adjustments to net assets (849.7) - (849.7) - (849.7) Tier 2 capital Total capital base (A) Prescibed capital Insurance risk capital charge Asset risk charge Operational risk charge Less aggregation benefit (28.3) - (28.3) - (28.3) Combined stress scenario adjustment Total PCA (B) PCA coverage ratios (times) (A/B) Sensitivity tests are performed on a quarterly basis to ascertain the ability of the Company to withstand various adverse asset shock scenarios.

26 16. Financial instruments Comparison of fair value to carrying amounts The following financial assets and liabilities are recognised and measured at fair value and therefore their carrying value equates to their fair value: investment securities; and derivatives. Subordinated notes are carried at an amortised cost of $100.0 million (2014: $100.0 million). Its fair value is $102.5 million (2014: $104.5 million) derived based on a quoted price of a comparable security (Level 2). For all other financial assets and liabilities not recognised and measured at fair value, their carrying value is a reasonable approximation of fair value Fair value hierarchy Financial assets and liabilities that are recognised and measured at fair value are categorised by a hierarchy which identifies the most significant input used in the valuation methodology: Level 1 derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical financial instruments Level 2 derived from other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the financial instruments, either directly or indirectly Level 3 fair value measurement is not based on observable market data Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total $m $m $m $m Financial assets Investment securities 1, , ,399.6 Derivative , , ,408.4 Financial liabilities Life investment contract liabilities - 3, ,214.1 Derivative , , Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total $m $m $m $m Financial assets Investment securities 1, , ,419.5 Derivative , , ,425.3 Financial liabilities Life investment contract liabilities - 3, ,258.2 Derivative , ,265.1 There have been no significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the 2015 and 2014 financial years.

27 16.3. Master netting or similar arrangement The following table sets out the effect of netting arrangements of financial assets and financial liabilities that are offset in the statement of financial position, or are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements, irrespective of whether they are offset in the statement of financial position. Derivative assets and liabilities Offsetting has been applied to derivatives in the statement of financial position where the Company has a legally enforceable right to set-off and there is an intention to settle on a net basis. Certain derivatives are subject to the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) Master Agreement and other similar master netting arrangements. These arrangements contractually bind the Company and the counterparty to apply close out netting across all outstanding transactions only if either party defaults or other pre-agreed termination events occur. As such, they do not meet the criteria for offsetting in the statement of financial position. The cash collateral pledged or received is subject to ISDA Credit Support Annex and other standard industry terms Amounts subject to master netting or similar arrangements Amounts not Related amounts not subject to offset on the SOFP (1) master netting or Gross Offsetting Financial Cash similar amounts applied instruments Collateral Net Exposure arrangements Total $m $m $m $m $m $m $m Financial assets Derivatives (4.4) (1.7) Financial liabilities Derivatives (4.4) (2.5) Total (0.7) (0.2) (0.9) 2014 Financial assets Derivatives (3.3) (1.0) Financial liabilities Derivatives (3.3) (2.4) Total (1.1) (1.1) Note: 1.
