Comments on Equity The Equity of the Company as at meets the requirements set by Law 2190/1920 while at the same time the Company, fully covers the solvency rules (A.S.M.) and guarantee funds set by the supervisory authority. E. Main risks and uncertainties The Company has been active in the insurance market for over 30 years, offering services in all private insurance sectors. During the year 2014, it is expected to continue the difficult and demanding course for the insurance companies, since most of them are affected by the ongoing economic recession and the increased regulatory adjustments in their business and organizational operations, under the supervision and guidance of the regulatory authority. The Company s aim for the 2014 fiscal year is to sustain the reduction in income from insurance operations while maintaining operational profitability. The Company, though, by nature, is exposed to financial risks from fluctuations in the prices of investment products. Investment revenues are to a great extend affected by factors that cannot be influenced, as they are connected with the progress of the country s financial and the international capital market developments. The progress of the money markets during the 2014 fiscal year will have a significant impact on the Company s investment revenue, as well as its Equity, as a large part of the portfolio has been invested in new government bonds that came from the Greek government bond swap. The overall composition of the portfolio is presented in detail in the notes on the Financial Statements. The Company is also significantly exposed to other risks, such as liquidity, guarantees and insurance risk, which, however, are confronted effectively in the manner described in the explanatory notes of the annual financial statements for December 31, Consequently, the management of the aforementioned risks is not expected to have a significant impact on the 2014 fiscal year.

Initially, all investments are classified according to the transaction date and are valued at acquisition cost, which is the fair value of the amount paid, including investment-related sales expenses, provided that the investments are available for sale or held to maturity. The investment expenses at fair value through results are not capitalized, but are recorded directly in the income statement. Investments at Fair Value through Results: these investments are acquired aiming at short-term profit and include securities such as shares, bonds and mutual funds. After their initial recognition, the investments AGROTIKI INSURANCE S.A.

23 3. ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS classified in this category are valued at fair value. The earnings or losses arising from this valuation are recorded in the Income Statement. Investments Held to Maturity: these are investments with a fixed maturity date and fixed or determinable payments, which the Group has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Investments held to maturity are measured at amortized cost. Investments Available for sale: these are investments which might be held to maturity or be sold in order to cover liquidation needs or achieve earnings from any foreign currency or interest rate fluctuations. After initial recognition, the investments classified as available for sale are recorded at fair value. The earnings or losses arising from the valuation of the investments available for sale are recorded in a separate equity account until any sale, receivables or provision of impairment, and then are transferred to the income statement. Derivative Financial Products: Derivative products are used for hedging and are valued at market value. The Company uses derivative products listed in the Athens Derivatives Exchange and in foreign financial markets. The only derivative that the Company owns, dated on December 31, 2013 resulted from the exchange of Greek bonds (PSI) and is not used for hedging (See note 25). The Group does not follow hedge accounting (Ηedging Αccounting). Investments on behalf of Policyholders: they belong in the Investments at fair value through results category and pertain to investments both in share or bond assets or even cash available, valued at market value, just like the corresponding liabilities to policyholders. The income and expenses arising from the valuation of these assets are reconciled with those of the liabilities, so as to charge the results in the net result concerning the Group s commission. Fair Value Calculation Investments traded in organized financial markets are valued at fair value, which is determined according to the current market capitalization value on the closing date of the financial statements. Investments in unlisted securities are valued according to acquisition cost minus any amortization. All regular purchase and sale transactions of investments in financial assets are recorded on the trade date, which corresponds to the date on which the Group has agreed to acquire or sell the financial asset. The term regular purchase and sale transactions of financial assets requires that the financial asset is handed over within a fixed period, instituted by legislature or established by the usual market practices. 2.5 Tangible assets Tangible assets are used by the Group itself, either for operating activities or administrative purposes. Tangible assets include land, buildings, lease hold improvements, furniture and other equipment, as well as transportation vehicles. As of December 31, 2008, the Group changed its accounting practice and records all tangible assets at fair value minus subsequent depreciation. Under the new established policy, the Group will re-evaluate its land and buildings at fair value every three years, unless there is serious indication of impairment in the meantime. Every increase in market value arising from the valuation of tangible assets is transferred to the Group s equity, crediting the valuation reserve. Every decrease in market value, which AGROTIKI INSURANCE S.A. 23

24 ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT 2013 offsets the previous increases for the same asset, is transferred to the Group s equity, debiting the valuation reserve. Any other decrease in market value is recorded directly as a loss in the Income Statement. The Company has assessed the current value on December 31, 2013, as mentioned in note 19. Depreciations: Land is not depreciated. The rest of the tangible assets are depreciated on a straight line basis over their useful life, which is re-examined annually. The useful life of tangible assets per category is as follows: Buildings Other assets: Furniture and other equipment Transportation vehicles years 5 8 years 7 9 years Improvements to third party property are exempted and are depreciated within the minimum time period between the useful life improvement and the lease duration of the leased asset. All other assets are recorded at historical acquisition cost less any depreciation or impairment. Subsequent costs enhance the value of the fixed asset or recognize it as a separate asset, only when it is likely to result in future economic benefits and their cost may be measured reliably. Repair and maintenance costs are charged to the income statement on the date they were incurred. 2.6 Investments in property Investments in property include land and buildings owned by the Company for leasing or for acquiring capital gains and are classified as investment property. Investment property is initially recorded at acquisition value, which also includes acquisition costs. Starting from the year that ended on December 31, 2008, and following the change of the relevant policy, investment property is valued annually at fair value. After the initial registration of investment property, it is valued annually at fair value, as determined by independent valuers. The changes are recorded in the results. The assets are recognized until their sale or earlier, on the date the Company ceases to have future financial benefits from the asset. Any change of use, such as private use of the asset, causes the transfer of said asset to the category of tangible assets. The earnings or losses arising are recorded in the income statement. 2.7 Intangible assets Intangible assets mainly include software programs. The software acquired separately is capitalized at acquisition value. Subsequently it is measured at acquisition value less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Computer software is depreciated over 5 years. The Company s management examines the value of intangible assets annually to determine any impairment or whether their estimated useful life has changed. When the book value of an intangible asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an appropriate provision for impairment is made with an equal charge on the results. 24 AGROTIKI INSURANCE S.A.

25 3. ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2.8 Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of the Company s monetary assets with less than 3 months maturity from the acquisition date. 2.9 Receivables Receivables are recorded in the Balance Sheet, net of provisions for doubtful debts. The collectability of receivables is assessed when the company considers it important. The assessment is based on the economic situation, the debtor s repayment history, the probability of support by reputable credit-worthy guarantors and the realizable value of collateral. The receivables which are not considered important as well as those which are, but without any impairment indications are classified into groups with similar credit risk characteristics. The Company examines the possible impairment provision for every category. In assessing each category, the amount of monitored debts or doubtful debts, the time period the receivables are in arrears, their collectability once considered doubtful, the prevailing market conditions and past experience with regard to the amount of expected losses are considered. When a receivable is described as doubtful, its book value is reduced to its estimated recoverable value, which is defined as the market value of expected future cash inflows, including estimated amounts recoverable from guarantees and tangible collateral, discounted at the real market interest rate. Subsequent changes to the recoverable amounts and the time period within which they are expected to be collected are compared with previous estimates and, in the event of a difference in the established provision, an equivalent charge is recorded in the income statement. Receivables and other loans, when they can no longer be recovered, are deleted by debiting the account of established provisions for doubtful debts. The Company accepts postdated checks from customers and associates for processing receivables from premiums. Nevertheless, the Company s standing policy is to reduce receivables from premiums and pay commissions only after the amount on said checks has been collected Leases The Company as a lessee: Operating leases The Company only participates in operating leases, where the lessor retains a significant portion of the risks and benefits deriving from the leased assets. The costs of operating leases are recorded in the income statement, using the standard method throughout the lease term. AGROTIKI INSURANCE S.A. 25

26 ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT 2013 The Company as a lessor: Operating leases The Company participates in operating leases only when the leased assets are recorded in the Company s financial statements and are depreciated based on their useful life. Revenues from leases are recorded in the income statement using the accrual method Offsetting Receivables Liabilities Offsetting financial assets with liabilities and recording the net amount in the Financial Statements is permitted only when there is a legal right to offset the registered amounts and there is intention of either settling the net amount arising from offsetting or simultaneously settling the total amount of both the financial asset and the liability Interest income and expenses For all financial instruments, Interest income and expenses are recorded in the income statement using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate method calculates the non-depreciated value of the asset or liability and distributes the interest income or expenses throughout the reporting period. Effective interest rate is the rate which accurately discounts the estimated future payments or receivables throughout the expected duration of the financial instrument. Once a financial asset or group of similar financial assets are undervalued as a result of impairment, interest income is recognized by applying the interest rate used to discount future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss Commissions and related income Commissions and related income are recorded in the income statement in the fiscal year during which the relevant services where provided. Commissions and related income deriving from third party transactions are recognized in the results at completion of the transaction. Fees for portfolio management and consulting services are recorded in the results according to the services provision contract, using the accrual method Income tax Income tax is calculated over the fiscal year profit, pursuant to the tax legislation in force and is recognized as an expense in the income statement. Tax losses carried forward to future fiscal years for offsetting are recognized as assets when it seems possible that there will be a realization of future taxable profits, which will be sufficient to offset the accumulated tax losses. Deferred income tax is calculated using the Balance Sheet method, based on temporary differences arising between the book value of assets and liabilities in the Financial Statements and tax value attributed to them in accordance with the tax legislation in force.
