Review of the business
Equitas Limited, based in London, was established in September 1996 toreinsure and run-off the 1992 and prior years’ non-life liabilities of Names, orUnderwriters, at Lloyd’s of London.
The Company was transformed when it entered into an agreement in November2006 under which National Indemnity Company, a member of the BerkshireHathaway group of companies, reinsured its liabilities and another member ofthe Berkshire Hathaway group, Resolute iVianagement Services Limited(“RMSL”), took over responsibility for the run-off. This first phase of this
The second phase of the transaction was completed when the High Court madean order on 25 June 2009 approving the transfer under Part WI of the FinancialServices & Markets Act 2000 of the 1992 and prior non-life business of membersand former members of Lloyd’s to Equitas Insurance Limited, a wholly ownedsubsidiary of Equitas Holdings Limited formed for that purpose. The transfercovers all the business reinsured by Equitas Limited at the time ofReconstruction and Renewal in 1996, and includes the PCW syndicates’ business
Page 3
reinsured by Lioncover Insurance Company Lmitecl and the Warrilow
syndicates’ business reinsured by Ccntrcwrite Limited. The transfer took effect
on 30 June 2009, and means that Names are no longer liable for their 1992 and
prior years’ underwriting liabilities at Lloyd’s as a matter of UK law. The
transfer is recognised in all EEA jurisdictions.
In jrevious years the Group purchased a total of $7 billion reinsurance cover,
over and above the provisions at 31 March 2006, from National Indemnity
Company (“National Indemnity”), a member of the Berkshire Hathaway group of
insurance companies. A review of the development of the transaction with
National Indemnity is set out below.
The Group has continued to pursue its strategy to run-off the liabilities reinsured
in 1996 which were transferred from the Names to the Group in 2009. A chart
showing the chain of reinsurance is attached at Appendix 2.

The National Indemnity Reinsurance Agreement
Overview
There were two phases to the transaction. The first phase involved the purchaseof an additional $5.7 billion of reinsurance cover over and above the existingEquitas provisions at 31 March 2006, less claims payments and reinsurancerecoveries received between 1 April 2006 and 31 March 2007. The second phasecompleted during the year ended 31 March 2010 involved the transfer of Names’obligations to policyholders to a new Group company, Equitas Insurmce Limited,and the purchase of additional reinsurance cover of $1.3 billion from NationalIndemnity.
Current cover position
The additional reinsurance cover available at the 31 March is set out in the tablebelow:
2017 2016
$m $rn
Additional reinsurance cover available at 1 April 2016/2015 4,707 4,965
Movement in provisions (54) (235)
Exchange differences (52) (23)
Additional reinsurance cover available at
31 March 2017/2016 4,601 4,707
As at 31 March 2017, $2,399 million (or 34.3%) (2016: $2,293 million (or 32.8%))of the additional $7.0 billion of reinsurance cover purchased from NationalIndemnity has been utilised to cover reserve deterioration since 1 April 2006.The cover remaining that is not yet required is not shown in the financialstatements, nor in the SIT balance sheet in this SFCR.
The level of cover remaining to meet potential liabilities significantly strengthensthe Group’s financial position. The risk that assets will not be sufficient to meetthe liabilities as they fall due has become extremely remote as a result of thereinsurance purchased from National Indemnity.
How the run-off is managed
Resolute Management Services Limited (“RM$L”), a member of the BerkshireHathaway group, manages the run-off as agent for Equitas Insurance Limited(formerly the Names prior to the Part VII transfer). The costs of running RMSLare met by National Indemnity, for as long as the total of claims paid (net ofreinsurance recoveries) by National Indemnity is less than the total coverprovided. RMSL is entitled to exercise wide powers to manage the retrocededbusiness and is required to exercise those powers in the interests of the Groupand Names.
Page 5
Protection against reinsurer credit risk
RM$L manages the claims adjusting process. National Indemnity will not be
required to provide security for its reinsurance obligations for so long as National
Indemnity’s insurer financial strength rating, as measured by Standard & Poor’s,
remains at AA- or higher. If, however, National Indemnity’s rating were to drop
below this level, it must either provide a letter of credit or establish a trust fund,
eqtial to 102 per cent of its net liabilities under the agreement (provided that this
does not exceed the remaining reinsurance cover), plus estimated future
operating expenses. If National Indemnity’s rating falls below A- then the 102
per cent requirement increases to 125 per cent (provided that this does not
exceed the remaining reinsurance cover).
At the date of this report the Standard & Poor’s rating for National Indemnity
remains very strong at AA+. The Berkshire Hathaway group (of which National
Indemnity is a part) had a rating of AA. At 31 December 2016, National
Indemnity had $lOlbn surplus as regards policyholders and total assets of
$ 178bn.
Valuation and adequacy of Regulatory Capital
The Standard Formula produces a Solvency Capital Requirement which
management accept as appropriate to use for the business under Solvency II
standards: i.e. corresponding to the Value-at-Risk of the basic own funds of the
company subject to a confidence level of 99.5% over a one-year period. As the
Group is in run-off, management also considers the capital requirement to a
confidence level of 97.5% to ultimate; this is considered managements’ Own
Economic Capital Requirement (OECR).
For the purposes of calculating our SCR we need to arrive at our best estimate of
all possible future outcomes rather than just reasonably foreseeable outcomes.
We therefore have to consider the possibility that losses are significantly greater
than current expectations such that. the National Indemnity reinsurance cover
exhausts. We make an assumption regarding the variability of the different
components of the provisions and then use a stochastic model to determine the
expected net loss to Equitas Insurance Limited (EIL) in excess of the National
Indemnity reinsurance cover.
It is forecast that fIb will continue to fail to meet 1)0th the Standard Formula
Solvency Capital Requirement and management’s Own Economic Capital
Requirement over the current planning horizon; there arc no current indicators
that suggest that this is likely to change over the longer term.
EIL was formed under the less onerous capital requirements of Solvency I and
the Group has no means of raising additional capital. Nevertheless, the Board
believes that the substantial unutilised reinsurance cover available makes the
prospect of the failure of NIL extremely remote. Equitas Insurance Limited is
subject to the requirements of the Solvency II directive and Equitas Holdings
Limited is required to report under Solvency II as the group holding company.
Equitas Limited and Equitas Reinsurance Limited whilst not subject to Solvency
II do have to report solvency criteria in line with the Solvency I requirements
and, for similar reasons do not meet the capital requirements. At the time the
Part VII was approved by the High Court our confidence level was assessed at
96.9%.

A. BUSINESS AND PERFORMANCEA.1 Business
Eqtiitas Limited, based in London, was established in September 1996 toreinsure and run-off the 1992 and prior years’ non-life liabilities of Names, orUnderwriters, at Lloyd’s of London.
Equitas Reinsurance Limited (“ERL”) completed the reinsurance of the 1992 andprior years’ business, except business previously reinsured by LioncoverInsurance Company Limited (“Lioncover business”), with effect from 3 September1996 and reinsured the Lioncover business with effect from 18 December 1997.It retroceded these businesses to Equitas Limited. Equitas Reinsurance Limitedand Equitas Limited are authorised and regulated under the Financial Servicesand Markets Act 2000 by the Prudential Regulation Authority and the FinancialConduct Authority under Solvency I.
Equitas Limited was transformed when it entered into an agreement inNovember 2006 under which National Indemnity Company, a member of theBerkshire 1-lathaway group of companies, reinsured its liabilities and anothermember of the Berkshire Hathaway group, Resolute Management ServicesLimited (“RMSL”), took over responsibility for the run-off. This first phase of thistransaction was completed in March 2007.
The second phase of the transaction was completed when the High Court madean order on 25 June 2009 approving the transfer under Part VII of the FinancialServices & Markets Act 2000 of the 1992 and prior non-life business of membersand former members of Lloyd’s to Equitas Insurance Limited, a wholly ownedsubsidiary of Equitas Holdings Limited formed for that purpose. The transfercovers all the business reinsured by Equitas Limited at the time ofReconstruction and Renewal in 1996, and includes the PCW syndicates’ businessreinsured by Lioncover Insurance Company Limited and the Warrilowsyndicates’ business reinsured by Centrewrite Limited. The transfer took effecton 30 June 2009, and means that Names are no longer liable for their 1992 andprior years’ underwriting liabilities at Lloyd’s as a matter of UK law. Thetransfer is recognised in all EEA jurisdictions.
During 2009 a newly formed company, Equitas Insurance Limited (“EIL”)accepted the transfer of Lloyd’s Names 1992 and prior year business pursuant tothe Part VII transfer described earlier. It is a wholly owned subsidiary ofEquitas Holdings Limited formed for that purpose and is authorised andregulated under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 by the PrudentialRegulation Authority and the Financial Conduct Authority under Solvency II. Itis only authorised to effect and carry out the business that was transferred to itpursuant to the Part WI transfer and cannot accept any new business. Appendix1 shows the group structure and Appendix 2 shows the chain of reinsurance.

The National Indemnity Transaction
On 30 i\’larch 2007 Equitas Limited entered into a whole account retrocession
agreement with National Indemnity Company, a member of the Berkshire
Hathaway group of companies.
Futtire outlook
The Group will continue to focus on monitoring the run-off, which is managed by
RMSL as agent for Equitas Insurance Limited (formerly Reinsured Names).
As expected, the caj)ital requirements have not been met and it is unlikely that
the requirement will be met in the foreseeable future. Equitas Insurance Limited
(ML) was formed under the less onerous capital requirements of Solvency I and
the Group has no means of raising additional capital. Nevertheless, the Board
believes that the substantial unutiised reinsurance cover available makes the
prospect of the failure of ML extremely remote. Equitas Insurance Limited is
subject to the requirements of the Solvency II directive and Equitas Holdings
Limited is required to report under Solvency II as the group holding company.
Equitas Limited and Equitas Reinsurance Limited whilst not subject to Solvency
II do have to report solvency criteria in line with the Solvency I requirements
and, for similar reasons do not meet the capital requirements.
The Company employs only one member of staff its Chief Executive. By virtue
of the remsurance contract between the Group and National Indemnity, the day
to day operations are undertaken by Resolute Management Services Limited, a
member of the Berkshire Hathaway Group. This can he considered to be a form of
outsourcing although it arises from the reinsurance transaction rather than
separate outsource agreement.
There are some items that fall outside the remit of the reinsurance contract, but
the great majority of the activities fall within its remit. One of the key
responsibilities of the Chief Executive is to monitor the operation of the run-off to
ensure that it is being managed appropriately in accordance with the contract.
Whilst. the remaining cover is significantly greater than the liabilities, the
financial risk lies with National indemnity, and so by virtue of the contractual
agreement, the ability to control the day to day operations is very limited.

A2 Underwriting Performance in 2017
Management are responsible for ensuring that the business is adequately
capitalised and safely managed. rp Governance structure and Risk
management processes are designed to ensure this. The Group took on its UK-
written liabilities in 1996 and 1997 and has not written any insurance business
since that time.
For the year ended 31 March 2017, the Group reported a loss after taxation of
£43 1k.
As at 31 March 2017, the Group had Shareholders’ funds amounting to £78,045k
and UK GAAP Balance Sheet Technical gross provisions as set out below:
Provision for claims outstanding for both EHL Group & EIL Solo
Claims Reinsurance Net
£000s £000s £000s
Provisions at 1 April 2016 4,768,176 (‘1.768,176) -
Payments, receipts and accruals (425,135) 425,135 -
Reassessment of liabilities and reinsurances 28,767 (28,767) -
Exchange movements 593,678 (593,678) -
Provisions at 31 March 2017 4,965,486 (1,965.186) -
The above Gross £2$,767k of Incurred losses have arisen fully from UK-written
business, of which £27,222k (or 95%) has arisen from the Liability classes.
Because of the uncertainties inherent in the Group’s liabilities, there are many
assumptions and estimation techniques which individually could have a material
impact on the amount of liabilities and the related reinsurance assets. Actual
experience will often vary from these assumptions, and any consequential
adjustments to amounts previously reported will be reflected in the results of the
year in which they are identified. The provision for claims outstanding is based
upon actuarial and other studies of the ultimate cost of liabilities including
exposure based and statistical estimation techniques.
Significant delays occur in the notification and settlement of certain claims, and
a substantial measure of experience and judgment is involved in making the
assumptions for assessing outstanding liabilities, the ultimate cost of which
cannot he known with certainty at the balance sheet date. rllhe gross provision
for claims outstanding and related reinsurance recoveries is estimated on the
basis of information currently available.
The provision for claims outstanding includes significant amounts in respect of
notified and potential IBNR claims for long tail liabilities. The settlement of
these claims is not expected to occur for many years, and there is considerable
uncertainty as to the amounts at which they will be settled.
Where a claim is disputed, the validity of the claim is ultimately an issue that
can only be determined by the courts. The provisions for disputed claims are
based on the Group’s view as to the expected outcomes of such court decisions.
Page 10
Uncertainty is further increased because of the potential for unforeseen changesin the legal, judicial, technological or social environment, which may increase ordecrease the cost, frequency or reporting of claims, and because of the potentialfor new sources or types of claim to emerge.
A3 Investment Performance in 2017
Investments are invested in shares and other variable yield securities, debtsecurities and other fixed interest securities. The external investment manager,BlackRock, is permitted to use derivative financial instruments for efficientportfolio management purposes. At 31 March 2017 the derivative position was anet zero.
The Fund is held to invest the long term ongoing capital reserves of the Group.There are strict limits placed on the type, value and term of such contracts; thesecontracts are included in the financial statements on a fair value basis. Up to50% of the Fund can be invested in non-Sterling assets on a fully hedged basis atany one time. Fixed forward currency contracts are arranged to eliminate thecurrency risk. Gilt, Bund and US futures and options are bought or sold duringthe year to gain exposure to that market or reduce duration risk and are fullycovered by cash holdings. Credit default swaps are used to hedge specific creditrisk and to implement investment views. Further details of the investments andderivative positions are provided in the Report and Accounts.
The estimated fair value of these investments held by the Group as at 31 March2017 was £$3,169k (EIL £37,144). For the year ended 31 March 2017, theCompany Group reported an investment return gain of £904k, with associatedinvestment management fees of221k (EIL: £53$k income less £98k fees).

Page 13
B2. Fit and Proper Requirements
The Group has a policy which sets out the procedures to ensure that all those
undertaking controlled functions on behalf of the company are and remain fit and
proper to carry out those functions.
These procedures ensure that the CEO
‘ meets the requirements of the Regulators’ ‘fit and proper’ test and follow its
principles;
• complies with the Statement of Responsibilities; and
• reports anything that could affect their on-going suitability.
The following factors are taken into account when deciding whether an individual
is fit and proper:
their honesty, integrity and reputation;
• their competence and capability; and
• their financial soundness.
Fitness and propriety checks are made by the Board before an individual is
appointed to carry out a controlled function.
B3. Risk management system including the own risk and solvency
assessment
The Group remains exposed to financial risk through its reinsurance assets,
financial assets and liabilities. The Group recognises the importance of having
efficient and effective risk management systems in place to identify, manage and
monitor those risks. EHL has developed a risk register which is considered by the
Board at each of its meetings.
The key business strategy for El-IL was encapsulated in the decision to purchase
the whole account run off reinsurance from National Indemnity Company and to
transfer the day-to-day management of the claims’ run-off and the collection of
the reinsurances to RMSL. EHL therefore takes few business decisions in
respect of the run off while the National Indemnity contract is operating properly
and valid claims are being paid.
rIhe Equitas Group continues close oversight of this Outsource by the Group CEo
workrng closely with the RMSL Senior management.
The contract with National Indemnity is specific on the triggers at which EHL
must commence taking key business decisions. The Board review regularly
whether any protections in the contract with National Indemnity have been or
should be triggered.
Own Risk and Solvency Assessment (ORSA)
EHL has developed an “Own Risk and Solvency Assessment” (ORSA) process. It
is an on-going process that produces an ORSA Report (being a Forward Looking
Assessment of Own Risks or “FLAOR”) at least annually, both at Group and
Insurer level. The process and report are central to the management of risk, and
Page 14
monitoring capital requirements and availability, and is executed by the GroupCEO’s close interaction with RMSL Senior management.
The OR$A is a continuing process and the ORSA Report will normally beproduced annually and presented to the Board for their review, challenge andapproval.
The report will be updated at other times for the following defined events:
Significant changes in the assessment of gross provisions
Downgrade of National Indemnity rating;
1 Significant change to investment strategy
B4. Internal Control System
Internal controls are implemented to control risk. All internal controls areefficiently designed to achieve the required level of control in a cost—effectivemanner.
Internal controls are required where the inherent risk is in excess of the agreedrisk appetite. Internal controls that are required to reduce the residual risk tothe agreed risk appetite are defined as key controls. Controls required forregulatory purposes are identified as such.
As noted above the responsibility for running off the claims and collection of thereinsurances falls to RMSL and they have put in place an internal control systemfor their operations in relation to the Equitas business they manage.
RMSL Internal controls are identified with a defined owner responsible formaintenance of the control.
RMSL Internal controls are fully documented. The documentation includes:
• description of the control
• control category — preventative/detective/corrective
• control type — manual] automatic/organisational
‘ control owner
• risks mitigated by control, and control importance relative to risks (keycontrol]supplementary control)
• whether control is a regulatory requirement and applicable regulation
• explanatory note regarding control operation
• for detective controls — identification of control performer; definition ofcontrol frequency; documentation requirement for evidence of controlperformance
Internal control performance is recorded in the Risk Management and InternalControl System. There is a quarterly management report to the RMSL riskcommittee reporting control performance.
Internal controls are subject to verification of control operation and existence bythe RM$L Chief Compliance OffIcer and RMSL Head of Group Internal Audit.
Page 15
B5. Internal Audit Function
The function of Internal Audit is to 1)rovide independent, objective assurance.
R1\’iSJJs operations arc assessed by their Internal Audit team to evaluate and
improve the effectiveness of risk management, control and governance processes.
Reporting directly to the Chair of the RM$L Audit Committee, the RMSL Head
of Group internal Audit operates independently from the business and has
unrestricted access to all activities undertaken in RMSL, in order to review,
appraise and report on:
The adequacy and effectiveness of the systems of financial, operational and
management control and their operation in practice in relation to the
business risks to be addressed;
• The extent of compliance with, relevance of and financial effect of, policies,
standards, plans and procedures and the extent of compliance with external
laws and regulations, including reporting requirements of regulatory bodies;
• The extent to which adequate business continuity plans exist;
• The suitability, accuracy, reliability and integrity of financial and other
management information and the mems used to identify measure, classify
and report such information;
The integrity of processes and systems, including those under development,
to ensure that controls offer adequate protection against error, fraud and loss
of all kinds; and that the process aligns with the organisation’s strategic
goals;
• The suitability of the organisation of the units audited for carrying out their
functions, and to report where services arc provided in a way which is
economical, efficient and effective;
• Recommendation of the follow-up action required to be taken to remedy
weaknesses identified by Internal Audit review including monitoring
completion against the required resolution date, and, ensuring that good
practice is identified and communicated widely;
Preparation of an annual audit plan and submission of the plan for review
and approval to the RMSL Audit committee;
• Carrying out the approved audit plan and reporting to the RMSL Audit
committee;
Reporting to the RIVISL Audit and Risk Committee at least annually on:
a. Assessments of the adequacy and effectiveness of RMSL’s systems of risk
management and internal control based on the work of Internal Audit
h. reporting significant issues related to the processes for controlling
RMSL’s activities, including potential improvements to those processes,
and provide information concerning such issues through to resolution;
andc. Providing periodic information on the status and results of the annual
audit plan and the sufficiency of Internal Audit resources.
The CEO of Equitas Holdings Limited is a member of the RMSL Audit
committee.
Page 16
B6. Actuarial Function
RMSL has developed an Actuarial Team that specialises in the assessment andreserving of companies in run-off that are managed by Resolute.
The actuarial function engages with the Board, regulators, and auditors toensure that the risks that the group faces are well understood and reflected inthe analysis performed as part of the reserving processes.
Principal responsibilities of the Actuarial Function are:
• Advising the Board on the appropriate level of provisions.
• To keep the group updated with significant reserving related developmentsthroughout the year.
• To undertake the calculation of the technical provisions of the group andexplain any material changes in data, methodologies or assumptions betweenvaluation dates.
• The provision of actuarial information to the business as required includinginto Solvency II Pillar 3 Reporting.
B7. Outsourcing Arrangements
Outsourcing is an arrangement where an Outsource Provider is appointed toperform particular activities which would otherwise be undertaken by staffdirectly employed by the company. The Company employs only one member ofstaff. By virtue of the reinsurance contract between the Equitas Group andNational Indemnity, the day to day operations are undertaken by RMSL, amember of the Berkshire Hathaway Group. RIVI$L is a UK company. This can beconsidered to be a form of outsourcing although it arises from the reinsurancetransaction rather than separate outsource agreement.
There are some items that fall outside the remit of the reinsurance contract, butthe great majority of the activities fall within its remit. One of the keyresponsibilities of the Chief Executive is to monitor the operation of the run-off toensure that it is being managed appropriately in accordance with the contract.Whilst the remaining cover is significantly greater than the liabilities, thefinancial risk lies with National Indemnity, and so by virtue of the contractualagreement, the ability to control the day to day operations is very limited. It isa requirement of the contract that a financial report is prepared by RMSL eachquarter which is presented to the board of EHL. Members of Resolute attendparts of the EHL board meeting to present their’ report and answer questions,thus the board is not reliant on the Chief Executive as their sole source ofinformation.
The Equitas Group does have the right to consider certain claims, reinsuranceand commutation transactions when they arc of a significant size and they arewith a counterparty that is related to the Berkshire Hathaway group. Thedefinition of such related party activities is very widely drawn.There are other activities which do not fall under the reinsurance contract whereEHL has chosen to outsource these activities, some of them to RMSL and othersto third parties.
Page 17
RMSL provide the following services to the Equ.itas Group (EHL):
1. Keeping and maintaining accounting records which are sufficient to show
and explain the EHL transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy (at
any time) the financial position of El-IL to enable the Directors to ensure that
the EHL balance sheet and profit and loss are properly prepared.
2. Preparing (subject to the approval of the Board) annual reports and accounts
and providing the Board with any or all information, explanations and
assistance as they may require in connection with the accounts of EHL.
3. Reviewing and finalising quarterly management accounts as reasonably
required by El-IL.
4. Providing the auditors with any or all information, explanations and
assistance as they may require in connection with auditing the accounts of
EUL.

The Chief Executive is responsible for the oversight of the services provided by
RMSL.
Investment Management is outsourced to Blackrock Investment Management
(UK) Ltd. (Blackllock), based in London. The investment mandate is established
by the Board, with any changes to the mandate and applied by l3lackRock.
Furthermore, BlackRock’s compliance to the investment mandate is
independently verified by RMSL Finance, in conjunction with a specialist
investment reporting company, Clearw ater Analytics Inc.
BlackRock is permitted to use derivative financial instruments for efficient
portfolio management purposes. The Fund is held to invest the long term on
going capital reserves of the Group. There are strict limits placed on the type,
value and term of such contracts: these contracts are included in the financial
statements on a fair value basis. Up to 50% of the Fund can be invested in non-
Sterling assets on a fully hedged basis at any one tune. Fixed forward currency
contracts are arranged to eliminate the currency risk. Gilt, Bund and US futures
and options arc bought or sold during the year to gain exposure to that market or
reduce duration risk and are fully covered by cash holdings. Credit default swaps
are used to hedge specific credit risk and to implement investment views.
Entering into an outsource arrangement does not relieve the Board of its
responsibility for the outsourced activity.

C. RISK PROFILE
rThe Group distinguishes between Strategic Risks and Operating Risks as themanagement of these risks have different characteristics.
Strategic Risks involve both risk and reward. In the context of the Group theseare essentially insurance Risk, Market Risk, Reinsurer Credit Risk, and MarketRisk.
Analysis of Risk Profile (As per Form S.25.O1)

Final Standard Formula 5CR 128,441 125,946
MCR 32,110 32,110
Cl. Insurance Risk (Underwriting Risk)
The group is in run-off and considers insurance risk within its general insuranceactivity to be the management of claims and the adequacy of reserving. The riskrelates to the inherent uncertainty around the level of provisions held. Actuarialclaims reserving is conducted by RMSL on a prudent basis such that provisionsare more likely to be overstated rather than understated, however there remainsa reasonable possibility that the final outcome will show that provisions areunderstated and possibly by a material margin. The additional reinsuranceprotection purchased by the group provides substantial protection in excess ofcurrent gross liabilities. The adequacy of the Company’s provisions is overseen bythe Board.
C2. Market Risk
Market Risk is the risk of an adverse financial imp act because of changes infuture cash flows of financial instruments owing to fluctuations in interest ratesand market prices. The Company’s investment strategy is conservative to ensurethat investments are managed in accordance with the prudent persons principle.The mandate for the external fund manager (Blackrock) places controls overinvestment quality and restricts the level of exposure to each non-governmentcounterparty. A minimum of 25°A of the portfolio is invested in UK government
Page 19
related instruments or cash at all times. The Company has no off-balance sheet
transactions.
C3. Reinsurer Credit Risk
Reinsurer Credit Risk is the risk of loss in the financial assets due to
counterparties failing to meet all 01. part of their obligations.
Reinsurance remains in force from the syndicates pre-1993, the reinsurance
contract with National Indemnity Inc (NICO) includes all the credit risks for this
original reinsurance hence the Group only considers the NICO contract in
relation to credit risk.
In the event of significant adverse claims experience, the Group is highly reliant
on the ability of its reinsurer, National Indemnity Company (National
Indemnity) to respond. Based on year end available figures, National Indemnity
reported surplus assets of greater than U$$lOlbn and total assets of U$$182bn
and is rated AA+ by S&P rating agency.
In addition, should the rating of National Indemnity fall below AA-, National
Indemnity has to collateralise its’ obligations by either a letter of credit, or
putting assets into a trust fund.
However, it should be noted that we are unable to recognise NICO’s
collateralisation obligations within the standard formula calculation of
Counterp arty default Risk, hence this is a significant component of the SCR.
C4. Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group cannot meet its obligations associated
with financial liabilities as they fall due. The Group manages its liquidity in
order to maintain sufficient financial resources to meet obligations as they fall
due. A portion of the Group’s resources that would cover several months’
expenses is retained in readily realisable bank and money market deposits and
thus liquidity risk is low. National Indemnity is responsible for settling insurance
claims as they become due.
Given that liquidity is not a material risk for the Group, no specific risk
sensitivity is provided.
C5. Operational Risk
Operational Risk is the risk of an adverse financial impact owing to being in
business and can arise from the operation’s people, processes, and systems.
Reliance is placed on the Chief Executive and the Company Secretary to provide
oversight of each other’s actions. RMSL has issued a procedures and controls
document for the activities it undertakes.
C6. Other Material Risks
There are no other material risks.
Page 20
C7. Stress testing and sensitivity analysis
As the group is in run-off, management also considers the capital requirement toa confidence level of 97.5% to ultimate. rfhis is considered managements’ OwnEconomic Capital Requirement and this gives management an additional view ofthe Risk Profile.
The models used to calculate best estimate provisions and capital requirementsare based on a number of parameter assumptions.
Sensitivity analyses are performed on these models. This informs managementregarding the more sensitive parameters. These sensitivity exercises areundertaken for both the managers’ assessment of the OECR and for the SolvencyII regulatory capital requirement.
Scenario testing is also undertaken based on a number of management definedscenarios which are applied and reported for ultimate best estimate. Thescenarios are by definition considered to be adverse, and potentially extreme,events and therefore a representation of the circumstances that may apply andprompt one of the adverse scenarios in the capital modelling; they are used tohelp contextualise extreme outcomes projected by modelling.
Key results of Stress testing
Analysis shows that Insurance Risk is material. The most sensitive parameterassumptions are those that determine the distribution of gross insurance losses,since more variable distribution assumptions lead to a larger simulatedprobability that the NICO cover exhausts, leading to a larger net best estimateand larger OECR.
Sensitivity Discounted Net Of CRBest Estimate (Ultimate
, basis)£000sL000s
Base, selected 78,496 448,497
Higher loss variability 124,849 1,016,282
Lower loss variability 50,569 -27,962’
Higher correlation between classes 87.835 582,098
Lower correlation between classes 72,410 339,797
The analysis also demonstrated that Reinsurer Credit Risk is not material. Thisis due to the mitigating effect of the collateral arrangements within the NICOreinsurance contract, which we are unable to recognise in our standard formula$CR calculation, but do recognise in our OECR assessment.
1 A negative OECR indicates that the net best estimate (mean) is above the 97.5”percentile
Page 21
Another well informed actuary with access to the same underlying information
may well regard either our ‘Higher loss variability’ scenario or our ‘Lower loss
variability’ scenario as their preferred best estimate. Our selected best estimate
sits in the middle of what we would regard as a range of reasonable best
estimates. This highlights the materiality of Insurance Risk and an unavoidable
limitation in the analysis.
Material Risk concentrations
With reference to the Group’s Risk profile above, the most material risk
concentration arises within the Counterparty default risk measure, and is due to
the fact that all Reinsurer Credit Risk relates to the NICO contract. However
this risk is greatly reduced by the collateral obligations within the contract.
There are no material risks concentrations within the Insurance, Market or
Operational Risks.

Dl. Assets
Note 1 For Solvency II valuation mirposes:
Investments
Bonds and collateralised securities are valued at the quoted market price plus
the value of accrued interest due as at the balance sheet date and therefore
requires a reclassification transfer from UK GAAP. All investments are
individually assessed against publicly-available market sources to assess and
confirm that they remain actively traded.
Money Market Funds — IVloney market funds are valued at the quoted market
price as at the balance sheet date.
Deposits other than cash equivalents — Deposits are valued at the value of the
deposit as at the balance sheet date.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are valued at fair value as at the balance sheet date.
Investments valued on a Solvency II basis include accrued interest income which
is included in other debtors on a UK GAAP basis.
Overall these adjustments have nil impact on the valuation of the Assets, and are
simply reclassifications for Solvency II Reporting.
Other assets
Trade Receivables (not insurance) are valued at fair value as at the balance sheet
date. These include Accrued Interest on Investments on the UK GAAP valuation,
with this being re-allocated to the Investments themselves on the Solvency 11
valuation basis.
Holdings in related undertakings are in respect of non-Solvency II administered
subsidiaries, and: -
For Group — these are removed upon consolidation for both the UK GAAP
and Solvency II reporting purposes;
Ior EIL — these are valued at Net Asset Valuation for both the UK GAAP
and Solvency II reporting purposes.
Page 26
Note 2 For Solvency II valuation purposes:
Reinsurance recoverable
Reinsurance Recoverable — Solvency II values are calculated by applying theNational Indemnity cover to the best-estimate gross claims; as opposed to thebook (i.e. prudent) gross claims reported in the statutory accounts. The SolvencyII values are also discounted; whereas the statutory values are not.
Solvency II values are calculated using a stochastic model to determine theexpected net loss to Equitas in excess of the National Indemnity cover andtherefore determine a best estimate for reinsurance recovery.
Note 3 For Solvency II valuation purposes
Derivatives
Derivatives including futures, options and credit default swaps are stated at bidprices provided by various recognised sources. For short term money marketinstruments, where market values are not available, fair values are calculated bydiscounting expected cash flows at prevailing interest rates at the balance sheetdate. The fair values of forward exchange contracts are determined based onmarket forward exchange rates at the balance sheet date.
For UK GAAP reporting purposes, the Derivatives’ assets and liabilities arereported collectively as a Net asset, whereas Solvency II requires these to bereported separately.
Overall these adjustments have nil impact on the valuation of the Assets, andare simply reclassifications for Solvency II Reporting.
Page 27
D2 Technical Provisions
Note 4 For Solvency II valuation purposes:
The Board has determined that it is appropriate to use the So]vency TI Standard
Formula to set the SCR Risk Capital for this company. We have used the 2016
(version 7) Lloyd’s standard formula template for our’ calculations, and this
strategy has been approved by the Prudential Regulatory Authority.
With reference to the Solvency II Balance Sheets for’ EHL Group and EIL Solo on
pages 24 & 25 the required Solvency II adjustments are as follows:
Discounted Claims’ Best Estimate —On a GAAP basis it is assumed that
under all reasonably foreseeable events claims will not be significant enough to
exhaust the NICO reinsurance, hence GAAP net provisions are zero GBP.
Solvency II (SIT) requires technical provisions to reflect a best estimate of all
possible outcomes. We use a Stochastic Model to simulate losses against the
NICO reinsurance. In a small minority of simulations the NICO reinsurance
exhausts, leading to a Undiscounted Net Best Estimate of £69,$23k. Risk free
curves as specified by EIOPA (no volatility adjustment) are applied within each
simulation of the Stochastic Model to arrive at the discounted provisions. The
Discounted Net Best Estimate $11 provisions are £40,452k.
All of’ the above figures are the same for both Group & Solo.
Expenses - The STI technical provisions include an allowance for expenses (both
ULAE and non ULAE). National Indemnity also provides significant aggregate
cover for expenses, but a small amount is added to the SIT technical provision to
allow for exhaustion and Bad Debt of’ this expense cover. The total expense
figures (excluding had debt) added to the SIT technical provision for Group was
£37,052k undiscounted and £29, 147k discounted.
MI of the above figures are the same for both Group & Solo.
Bad Debt - the bad debt provision is an adjustment to take into account the
potential losses owing to the default of the reinsurance counterparties. Although
there is a contractual commitment by National Indemnity to collateralise their
obligations should their rating published by Standard & Poors fall below AA-, the
regulations do not allow us to take any credit for this in our SCR calculations. in
addition, there are long-standing regulatory trust funds maintained in USA,
Canada & Australia containing assets in excess of £2.3 billion which are
available to pay the underlying claims in the event of default by National
Indemnity. However, the SIT regulations do not allow us to take these into
account in our SCR calculations. Perversely, our. Technical Provisions for bad
debt will likely improve if National Indemnity’s credit rating falls, due to the
collateral being additionally then provided.
Owing to the very low probability of the reinsurance not responding, for Solvency
11 valuation purposes the Bad Debt is £l2,529k undiscounted and £8,897k
discounted.
AU of the above figures are the same for both Group & Solo.
Page 28
Risk Margin - the Risk Margin is calculated by first obtaining the SolvencyCapital Requirement (5CR) using the standard formula calculation (excludingMarket Risk). This is assumed to decrease over time in line with the net reserveand bad debt patterns obtained from the stochastic model. A 6% capital chargewas then applied to each projected year and discounted using the EIOPA riskfree rates.
The resulting risk margin for Group was £50, 047k (Solo £4•9,971k).
Page 29
D3 Other Liabilities
Note 5 For Solvency II valuation purposes:
Sub-ordinated Loan with related undertaking is valued at the fair value of
the amount outstanding, being:
For Group — these are removed upon consolidation for both the UK GAAP
and Solvency II reporting purposes;
For EIL — these are valued at Net realisable valuation for both the UK
GAAP and Solvency II reporting purposes, based on the cost of the loan
plus the associated compound interest charged.
Reinsurance payables are valued at the fair value of the amount outstanding
reduced by the bad debt provision where applicable. Owing to the short term
nature of these amounts discounting is considered to be unnecessary.
Trade Payables (not insurance) are valued at fair value as at the balance sheet
date.
D3 Alternative Valuation Methods
The Group do not use any alternative valuation methods
P4. Any Other Information
There is no other material infbrmation relating to the valuation fr Solvency II
purposes of the Group during the period.

E. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
Equitas Insurance Limited tElL) is subject to the requirements of the Solvency IIdirective and Equitas Holdings Limited is required to report under Solvency II asthe group holding company. EIL was formed under the less onerous capitalrequirements of Solvency I and the Group has no means of raising additionalcapital.
El. Own Funds
All Own Funds for the Group are Tier 1 funds and consist of ordinary sharecapital and retained earnings. All of these Tier 1 Funds are classed asunrestricted and of a high quality.
Own funds for Equitas Insurance Limited include a subordinated loan of£20,242k subordinated loan from Equitas Holdings Limited, classified as Tier 2capital. Interest of795k has been rolled into capital during the year. The loan isavailable for as long as it is required by the Company.
Aside from the movement in the profit and loss account there has been no changein capital for either the Group or Equitas Insurance Limited.
All of these Basic Own Funds are available to meet both the Solvency CapitalRequirement (5CR) and the Minimum Capital Requirement (MCR).
The details of the Group’s Own Funds as at 31 March 2017 are disclosed in theTable below along with the differences between the Solvency II valuations andthe UK GAAP equivalents. The Solvency II Net Assets along with the UK GAAPequivalent are also presented.
Given that there is no means of raising additional capital there is little that canhe done in terms of managing own funds from a business planning perspective.On the Solvency II valuation the liabilities currently exceed the assets, givingnegative own funds to meet the SCR. Our Own Risk and Solvency Assessment(ORSA) includes a Forward Looking Assessment of our technical provisions andcapital requirements in future years. On the assumption that claims provisionsdo not deteriorate from our current best estimate, this Forward LookingAssessment shows that as liabilities develop and claims are paid, the likelihoodof the NICO reinsurance exhausting should reduce over time, leading us toexpect a decrease in Solvency II technical provisions. After 5 years we expectown funds available to meet the SCR to have moved to a positive value, so long asgross claims provisions do not deteriorate.

E2. Solvency Capital Requirement and Minimum Capital Requirement
The Group uses an accounting consolidation model for reporting purposes thatincludes all of the subsidiary companies listed in appendix 1.
Both EHL Group and fIL Solo use the Standard Formula as the basis forcalculating capital requirements having reviewed the assumptions underlyingthe formula and assessed them as appropriate. There is no Internal Modellingundertaken for either Group or Solo.
The Group’s Solvency Capital Requirement (SCR) at 31 March 2017 was£125,946k and Minimum Capital Requirement (MCR) at 31 March 2017 was£32, 110k.
f IL’s Solvency Capital Requirement at 31 March 2017 was £128,441k and theMinimum Capital Requirement at 31 March 2017 was £32,llOk.

F3. Use of the duration-based equity risk sub-module in the calculation
of the Solvency Capital Requirement
The Equitas Group has not used the duration-based equity risk sub-module of
the Solvency Capital Requirement.
F4. Differences between the standard formula and internal model used
The Equitas Group has not utilised an Internal model to calculate the Solvency
Capital Requirement.
The Equitas Group applies the standard formula model to calculate the Solvency
Capital Requirement, and therefore no differences exist.
E5. Non-compliance with the Minimum Capital Requirement and non
compliance with the Solvency Capital Requirement
Both the Group and Equitas Insurance Limited did not meet of the Solvency
Capital Requirement (and hence the Minimum Capital Requirement) over the
reporting period.
The Group has surplus funds under UK GAAP of £7$,045k. The Solvency II
additional Technical Provisions adjustment of £128,543k as offset by the
£78,045k UK GAAP Retained Earnings, results in a shortfall in capital of
£50,49$k therefore the Group does not meet either the Solvency Capital
Page 34
Requirement or the Minimum Capital Requirement referred to in E2 above. TheGroup does not expect the shortfall to be rectified in the foreseeable future.Similarly, Equitas Insurance Limited had surplus funds of £51,4$7k under UKGAAP, increasing to £71,729k with the inclusion of the Subordinated Loan due toEquitas Holdings Limited. The Solvency II additional Technical provisionsadjustment of128,467k as offset by the £34,9$7k UK GAAP Retained Earnings,results in a shortfall of £56,738k therefore the Company does not meet theSolvency Capital Requirement or the Minimum Capital Requirement. TheCompany does not expect the shortfall to be rectified in the foreseeable future.

Basis for opinion
We conchicted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing
(UK and Ireland) (ISAs (UK & I)), International Standard on Auditing (UK) 800
and International Standard on Auditing (UK) 805, and applicable law. Our
responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’
Responsibdities for (lie Audit of the relevant eie,iients of the Single Group- Wide
Solvency and Financial Condition Report section of our report.
Emphasis of Matter - Basis of Accounting
We draw attention to the ‘Valuation for solvency ptirposes’ and ‘Capital
Management’ of the Single Group-Wide Solvency and Financial Condition
Report, which describe the basis of accounting. The Single Group-Wide Solvency
and Financial Condition Report is Prepared in compliance with the financial
reporting provisions of the PRA Rules and Solvency Ii regulations, and therefore
in accordance with a special purpose financial reporting framework. The Single
Group-Wide Solvency and Financial Condition Report is required to be published,
and intended users include but are not limited to the Prudential Regulation
Authority. As a result, the Single Group-Wide Solvency and Financial Condition
Report may not be suitable for another purpose. Our opinion is not modified in
respect of this matter.
Responsibilities of Directors for the Single Group-Wide Solvency and
Financial Condition Report
The Directors are responsible for the preparation of the Single Group-Wide
Solvency and financial Condition Report in accordance with the financial
reporting provisions of the PRA rules and Solvency II regulations, which have
been modified by the modifications made by the PRA under section 138A of
FSMA, the PRA Rules and Solvency II regulations on which they are based as
detailed below:
Modifications• Permission to publish a Single Group-Wide SFCR (PRA refs # 4173603,
4553909 & 4553911)
The Directors are also responsible for such internal control as they determine is
necessary to enable the preparation of a Single Group-Wide Solvency and
Financial Condition Report that is free from material misstatement, whether due
to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the relevant elements of the
Single Group-Wide Solvency and Financial Condition Report
It is our responsibility to form an independent opinion, in accordance with
applicable law, ISAs (UK & 1) and ISAs (UK) 800 and 805 as to whether the
information subject to audit in the relevant elements of the Single Group-Wide
Solvency and Financial Condition Report is prepared, in all material respects, in
accordance with the financial reporting provisions of the PRA Rules and Solvency
II regulations on which they are based. ISAs (UK & I) require us to comply with
the Auditing Practices Board’s Ethical Standard for Auditors.
An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
relevant elements of the Single Group-Wide Solvency and Financial Condition
Report sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the relevant elements of the
Page 38
Single Group-Wide Solvency and Financial Condition Report are free frommaterial misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes anassessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the Company’scircumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; thereasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the Directors; andthe overall presentation of the relevant elements of the Single Group-WideSolvency and Financial Condition Report. In addition, we read all the financialand non-financial information in the Single Group-Wide Solvency and FinancialCondition Report to identify material inconsistencies with the audited relevantelements of the Single Group-Wide Solvency and Financial Condition Report. Ifwe become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies weconsider the implications for our report.
This report, including the opinion, has been prepared for the Directors of theCompany to comply with their obligations under External Audit rule 2.1 of theSolvency II firms Sector of the PRA Rulebook and for no other purpose. We donot, in providing this report, accept or assume responsibility for any otherpurpose save where expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements.
In accordance with Rule 4.1 (3) of the External Audit Part of the PRA Rulebookfor Solvency II firms we are required to read the Other Information and considerwhether it is materially inconsistent with the relevant elements of the SingleGroup-Wide Solvency and Financial Condition Report and our knowledgeobtained in the audits of the Single Group-Wide Solvency and FinancialCondition Report and of the Company’s statutory financial statements. If, basedon the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a materialmisstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. Wehave nothing to report in this regard.
