The Company accounted for employee severance indemnities using actuarial method in compliance with the TAS 19 - Employee Benefits .

Other benefits The Company has provided for undiscounted short-term employee benefits earned during the year as per services rendered in compliance with TAS 19 in the accompanying financial statements. 2.20 Provisions A provision is made for an existing obligation resulting from past events if it is probable that the commitment will be settled, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are calculated based on the best estimates of management on the expenses to incur as of the reporting date and, if material, such expenses are discounted to their present values. If the amount is not reliably estimated and there is no probability of cash outflow from the Company to settle the liability, the related liability is considered as “contingent” and disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company. Contingent assets are not recognized in financial statements since this may result in the recognition of income that may never be realized. Contingent assets are assessed continually to ensure that developments are appropriately reflected in the financial statements. If it has become virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise, the asset and the related income are recognized in the financial statements of the period in which the change occurs. If an inflow of economic benefits has become probable, the Company discloses the contingent asset. 2.21 Revenue recognition Written premiums Written premiums represent premiums taken from insurance and reinsurance companies as a reinsurance company. Premiums ceded to retrocession companies are accounted as “written premiums, ceded” in the profit or loss statement. Written premiums are recorded upon the receipt of quarterly statements of accounts from ceding companies in treaties whereas facultative accounts are registered upon the receipt of monthly payrolls. Claims paid Claims paid represent payments of the Company as a reinsurance company when risks taken from insurance and reinsurance companies are realized. Claims are recognised as expense upon the receipt of notifications. Notifications have not specific periods and depend on the initiative of the insurance and reinsurance companies. Commission income and expenses As further disclosed in Note 2.24 - Reserve for unearned premiums , commissions paid to the insurance and reinsurance companies as a reinsurance company and the commissions received from the reinsurance companies are recognized over the life of the contract by deferring commission income and expenses within the calculation of reserve for unearned premiums for the policies produced before January 1, 2008 and recognizing deferred commission income and deferred commission expense in the financial statements for the policies produced after January 1, 2008.
