10 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Organization and Reporting Entity CAWCD Insurance Company, Inc. (the Company) is a blended component unit of the Central Arizona Water Conservation District (CAWCD). The primary objective in forming the Company is to provide stable insurance coverage by ensuring availability of appropriate coverage for lower layers of CAWCD s insurance program, controlling and managing the claims process, developing specific loss prevention/loss control services, and stabilizing the changes in selfinsured retention, perils covered and premiums charged for CAWCD s insurance program. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Hawaii and formed to be a nonprofit captive insurance company pursuant to Article 19 of Chapter 431 of the Hawaii Revised Statues. The Company received its Certificate of Authority from the Hawaii Insurance Division on December 18, The Certificate of Authority enables the Company to operate as a captive insurance company in the State of Hawaii. CAWCD is the sole member of the Company and was initially capitalized with $350,000. The Company insures the following risks, by policy, for the period January 1, 2010 to January 1, 2012: Type of Risk Workers compensation Public officials liability, including employment practices liability Property Automobile liability General liability Fiduciary Police professional liability Non-owned aircraft liability Health Insurance Stop Loss Coverage Limits $2,000,000 per occurrence, no annual aggregate except $2,000,000 annual aggregate for disease only $2,000,000 per claim, no annual aggregate on a claims-made basis $2,000,000 per occurrence, no annual aggregate $2,000,000 per occurrence, no annual aggregate $2,000,000 per occurrence, annual aggregate $2,000,000 annual aggregate limit on a claims-made basis $2,000,000 per claim, $2,000,000 annual aggregate on a claims-made basis $2,000,000 per occurrence, no annual aggregate $1,000,000 in excess of $125,000 per covered units and an annual aggregate excess of loss of $2,000,000 per policy (effective for the period January 1, 2011 to January 1, 2012.). 8

11 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Basis of Accounting The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America as applicable to an enterprise fund of a governmental unit. Accordingly, the accrual basis of accounting is utilized, whereby revenues are recorded when they are earned, and expenses are recorded when the liability is incurred. The operating revenues and expenses of the Company generally result from providing insurance coverage to CAWCD and Affiliates in connection with the Company s ongoing operations. New Accounting Standards The District implemented Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 62, Codification of Accounting and financial Reporting Guidance contained in Pre-November 30, 1989 FASB and AICPA pronouncements. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the financial statements. Cash and Investments The Company s cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash in bank and short-term investments (money market mutual funds) with maturities of 90 days or less when originally acquired. Escrow deposit relates to cash held in escrow to pay claims by the Company s claim administrator as of. All investment securities are recorded at estimated fair value. Fair value is estimated based on quoted market prices. Investments at, consisted of money market mutual funds and a long-term certificate of deposit. Reserve for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses The reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses includes the unpaid accumulation of case estimates for losses reported; estimates for losses incurred but not reported, and estimates of expenses for investigating and adjusting incurred losses. In estimating the unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses, the Company and its consulting actuary, employ methods and assumptions they consider reasonable and appropriate given the information currently available. The reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses is based upon the aggregated loss experience of CAWCD and is estimated using individual case-basis valuations and statistical analyses. These estimates are subject to the effects of trends in loss severity and frequency. Management believes the reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses is adequate. The estimates are continually reviewed and adjusted, as necessary, as experience develops or new information becomes known; such adjustments are included in current operations. There is a level of uncertainty inherent in the evaluation of the required losses and loss adjustment expense reserves for the Company. The long-tailed nature of liability claims adds to the uncertainty. The ultimate costs of claims are dependent upon future events, the outcomes of which are affected by many factors. 9

12 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Reserve for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses (Continued) The Company s claim reserving procedures and settlement philosophy, current and perceived social conditions, economic inflation, current and future court rulings and jury attitudes, improvements in medical technology, and many other economic scientific, legal, political, and social factors all can have significant effects on the ultimate costs of claims. Since the emergence and disposition of claims are subject to uncertainties, the net amounts that will ultimately be paid to settle the liability may vary significantly from the estimated amounts provided for in the accompanying financial statements. Any adjustments to reserves are reflected in the operating results of the periods in which they are made. Excess Insurance The Company uses excess insurance to reduce exposure to losses. Excess insurance permits recovery of a portion of losses, although it does not discharge the primary liability of the Company as direct insurer of the risks insured. Premium Revenue The Company derives all of its premium revenue from CAWCD. Premiums are earned on a prorata basis over the term of the related policies. Premiums related to the unexpired terms of the policies are deferred. Use of Estimates in Preparing Financial Statements The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of those financial statements requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future, as more information becomes known which could impact the amounts reported and disclosed herein. Management believes that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances; however, actual results could differ from those estimates. 10
