Products arc offered through independent insurance agents, two of which represcnt 37% of the Company's direct premium written for thc year endcd December 31, 1996. Principles of Accounting The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Insurance Department of the Commonwcalth of Pennsylvania. The Company has been examined by the Department of Insurance of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania through the five years ended December 31, 1995 without adjustment. Investments '"", Bonds and stocks are valued in accordance with valuations prescribed by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. Generally, bonds are carried at cost, adjusted where appropriate for amortization of premium or accrual of discount computed on a straight-line basis; stock of the Company's subsidiaries arc carried at their equity and all other stocks arc carried at quoted market value with thc net unrealized gain or loss included in unassigned surplus, Realized investment gains and losses arc reported in the statement of income based upon the specific identification of securities sold. Mortgage loans are carried at their unpaid principal balance. Real estate occupied by the Company is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation while real estate held for investment is carried at the lower of cost or market. Maintenance, repairs, and minor renewals are charged to expense as incurred while expenditures which substantially increase the useful life of the asset are capitalized, Depreciation is provided by using both the straight-line and accelerated methods for financial reporting and accelerated methods for income tax purposes, Short-term investments include those securities which when purchased arc due to mature within one year. Leases, which are classified as sales-type leases, expire over the next three years, and relate to various types of copying equipment. Leases have been assigned to the Company, with recoursc, by a former affiliate, Premium Revenue Recognition t.J Premium income is recognized in earnings over the periods covered by the policies, whereas the related acquisition and commission costs arc expensed when incurred. (Continued) 7 '"' AEGIS SECURITY INSURANCE COMPANY Notes to Statutory Financial Statemcnts (I) Continued Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses Thc liability for losscs includcs thc net amount for claims, aftcr deducting appropriate reinsurance rccoveries, which havc been rcported to the Company and arc unpaid at stUlcment date as well as provision for claims incurred but not rcportcd at statcment datc. The provision for claims incurrcd but not rcported amounted to $350,038 and $430,650 at Deccmber 31. 1996 and 1995. respectivcly. The liability for loss adjustment expenses is based upon the rclationship of paid adjustment expenses to paid losses and includes provision for incurrcd but not reported adjustment expenscs of $462,25 I and $494.619 at Dccember 31. 1996 and 1995, respcctively. Salvage and subrogation are recordcd on a cash basis. Managcment belicves that thc liabilities for losses and loss adjustment cxpenses at Deccmber 31. 1996 are adequate to cover the ultimate net cost of losses and claims to date, The liability for loss adjustment expenses is applicd as a percentage of the liability for losses based on an annual ratio of paid adjustment expense to paid losses by line of business. Projections of future ultimate losses and loss expenses are inherently unccrtain because of the random nature of claims occurrences. They are also dependent upon future contingent events and are affected by economic, legal. political. and social factors. These liabilities are subject to continuing review by management and changcs in cstimales are reflected in earnings currently. The chance of material liability from toxic lort and environmental impairment claims is remote, as reported claim activity levels arc minimal and the Company primarily writes mobile homcowners and small commercial business insurance. Unearned Premiums Unearned premiums are calculated gencrally using the daily pro,rata method and include amounts received related to reinsurance assumed and arc rcported nct after deducting amounls ccded to reinsurance companies. Federal Income Taxes Fcdcral income taxes are recorded when payable. Use of Estimates Management of the Company has madc a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the rcporting of admitted assets and liabilities to prepare these financial statements in confonnity with accounting practiccs prescribed or permitted by the Insurance Department of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. AClual results could differ from those estimates.
