Jordan Insurance Company
Letter from the ChairmanIn the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Gracious
Dear Shareholders,Peace be upon you.
The Board of Directors is pleased to welcome you to the 62nd Ordinary Meeting of the General Assembly and to present its annual report for the financial year ending on 31/12/ 2013.
Diverse economic challenges continued in Jordan's public and private sectors throughout 2013, largely related to high rates of unemployment, inflation, and a large budget deficit. The growing conflict in Syria, leading to an accelerated influx of refugees, and the reduction of foreign aid combined with higher oil and food prices have all exerted further pressure on the country’s economy. To overcome such a challenging environment, the authorities in Jordan have been implementing sound macroeconomic policies aimed at reducing fiscal and external imbalances in a socially acceptable way.
In 2013, real GDP growth remained at 3%, similar to 2012, the unemployment rate also remained at the same level at around 11.0, and the inflation rate is expected to hover at around 5.8%.
The Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) trading value reached JD 3.0 billion compared to JD 1.98 billion in 2012 with an increase of 50%. Moreover, the ASE price index rose from 1957 points to 2065 points at an increase of 5.5%. The market value of the shares of listed companies fell by nearly JD 0.7 billion, registering JD 18.2 billion at the end of the year 2013 compared to JD 19.1 billion at end of 2012. Our net profits for 2013 have been impacted by the lagging investment market compared to the year 2012, reducing our net profits after tax to JD 270,425.
The foregoing changes directly impacted the operational work environment and especially the results of our investment portfolio. Nevertheless, JIC was able to achieve excellent technical results despite the additional technical reserves which had to be booked in compliance with our external actuary's recommendations and the requirements of the Insurance Commission, and despite the ongoing negative results of motor third party liability, which continues to threaten the overall results of the insurance sector in Jordan. Technical profits stood at JD 3.0 million compared to JD 3.3 million in 2012, and gross written premiums have grown by 14.4% in Jordan and 15.4% company-wide, reaching a total of JD 60.0 million. This has enhanced JIC’s production capacity and its leading position in the Jordanian insurance sector, with a market share of over 10%.
For JIC, the year 2013 has again witnessed a very important achievement: A.M. Best, the largest and most utilized global insurance and reinsurance rating agency, has affirmed the Financial Strength Rating (FSR) of B++ (good) and Issuer Credit Rating (ICR) of BBB+ of JIC in recognition of its professionalism and exceptional performance in the provision of its insurance services at the local and regional levels. These ratings also reflect JIC's ability to maintain this performance under all circumstances, especially the global economic crisis that has had a negative impact on the rating of many insurance and reinsurance companies worldwide. Such ratings reflect JIC's solid business position in Jordan, robust operating performance and strong risk-adjusted capitalization. These factors will help JIC raise the level of its competitiveness, enhance confidence and open the door for regional expansion as one of the top insurance companies in the Arab world that has been awarded such ratings.
In addition, and for the fourth year in a row, your Company was also awarded "Jordan Insurer of the Year 2014" by MENA Insurance Awards, adding yet another impressive achievement in such challenging times.

Reinsurance
It is a well-known fact that the global and regional crises have had a direct impact on reinsurance companies, and therefore, reinsurance contracts face major difficulties year after year. Moreover, practices exercised by local insurance companies in 2013, especially companies that compete on the basis of declining premiums and in a manner that does not correspond to the nature of insured risks, have led to an ongoing hardline approach by global reinsurance companies, especially the major ones that hold leading positions in the reinsurance sector.
The ongoing political unrest in the Middle East and North Africa (The Arab Spring) has triggered more restrictions on SRCC (Strikes, Riots and Civil Commotions) in terms of imposing additional rates, deductibles and the reduction of event limits available for SRCC and Natural Catastrophes in terms of capacity.
However, because of its high level of professionalism and its excellent historical relationship with reinsurers based on trust and credibility, JIC was able to renew its reinsurance treaty program for 2014 with elite reinsurance companies in a manner that serves the best interests of all parties concerned.
Branches
Despite the current economic difficulties in the region, JIC’s branches in the United Arab Emirates and our Agency in Kuwait have also achieved acceptable technical results that reflect your Company’s exceptional standing with its clients in these markets. Gross written premiums in these branches closed at JD 7.0 million as 11.7% of JIC’s total premiums, and technical results stood at JD 419,000 compared to JD 883,000 in 2012, due to various large losses incurred under motor itnsurance and the additional technical reserves booked in 2013 for incurred but not-reported claims (IBN(E)R).
Financial and Real Estate Investments
The year 2013 has also witnessed a decline in the financial market activity as well as a rise in unstable prices, especially in the Amman Stock Exchange and the Palestinian Financial Market. This has forced JIC to reduce its investment activities, both sales and purchases, and to hold on to its portfolio with no major changes.
JIC's real estate investments, booked at a cost value of JD 17.1 million, have been re-evaluated in 2013 at JD 34.8 million, and your Company continues to perform capital maintenance on its real estate base with the purpose of enhancing the investments to become more suitable and attractive for tenants at reasonable prices. The occupancy rate of our buildings has reached approximately 75%, which supports JIC’s net results.

Letter from the ChairmanThe Future Plan
1. Adhere to the Company’s strategy of preserving its leading position in the local market through prudent and disciplined underwriting policies.
2. Continue to expand horizontally by opening new branches in neighboring markets and enhancing the overall performance of existing branches.

4. Maintain the Company's financial strength rating by A.M. Best and work toward improving it.
5. Continue to expand in existing markets by possible mergers and acquisitions.
In conclusion, the Board of Directors would like to extend its sincere gratitude and appreciation to our employees, who have all contributed to the success and accomplishments of the Company.
We would also like to thank our clients and agents for their constant trust and support, as well as our reinsurance partners for their continued support.

1. General
a. The Company was established in 1951 and is registered as a Jordanian Public Shareholding Company under Number (11) with a paid-up capital of JD 100,000. On July 12, 1981, the Company’s capital was raised to JD 1,100,000.
On May 1, 1988, the Company merged with General Assurance Company for the Near East (National Union) in Jordan, after the evaluation of the two companies’ assets. Accordingly, the Company’s capital was increased to JD 5,000,000 divided into 5,000,000 shares.
The Company's capital was raised gradually with the latest increase in 2006, in which the authorized Company capital was raised by JD 10,000,000 to reach JD 30,000,000 divided into 30,000,000 shares. The Company is involved in various insurance activities and has branches in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Dubai and marketing insurance policies in Kuwait through an agency.
b. The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on Feb. 4, 2014, subject to the approval of the General Assembly of Shareholders.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Preparation- The financial statements have been prepared according
to the Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and in accordance with the forms prescribed by the Jordanian Insurance Commission.
- The financial statements have been prepared according to the historical cost convention except for financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through the statement of income and financial assets at fair value through the statement of comprehensive income that are presented at fair value at the date of the financial statements. Moreover, financial assets and financial liabilities that have been hedged for the risk of change in fair value are presented in fair value.
- The Jordanian Dinar is the functional and reporting currency of the financial statements.
Basis of Consolidating the Financial Statements- The financial statements include the financial statements of the Company with its foreign branches.
- The accounting policies adopted in the financial statements are consistent with those applied in the year ended December 31, 2012.
Sector Information- The business sector represents a set of assets and
operations that jointly provide products and services subject to risks and returns different from those of other business sectors that are measured in accordance to the reports used by the executive manager and the main decision maker in the Company.
- The geographic sector relates to the provision of products and services in a defined economic environment subject to risks and returns different from those of other economic environments.
Financial Assets at Fair Value Through Profit or LossFinancial assets at fair value through profit or loss represent shares and bonds held by the Company for the purpose of trading and achieving gains from the fluctuations in market prices in the short term.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are initially stated at fair value at acquisition date (purchase costs are recorded on the statement of income upon purchase). They are subsequently re-measured to fair value as of the date of the financial statements. Moreover, changes in fair value are recorded in the statement of income including the change in fair value resulting from foreign currency exchange translation of non-monetary assets. Gains or losses resulting from the sale of these financial assets are taken to the statement of income.
Dividends and interest from these financial assets are recorded in the statement of income.
These financial assets are not subject to revaluation for impairment losses.
Financial Assets at Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income- Financial assets at fair value through other
comprehensive income represent strategic investments in the Company’s shares for the purpose of keeping them in the long term.
- Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are initially stated at fair value including acquisition costs upon purchase, and are subsequently re-measured to fair value. Moreover, changes to fair value
are recorded in the statement of other comprehensive income and in shareholders’ equity including the change in fair value resulting from foreign currency exchange translation of non-monetary assets. If these financial assets were sold, the resulting gains or losses are taken to the statement of other comprehensive income and in shareholders’ equity. The valuation reserve of sold financial assets is transferred directly to retained earnings, but not through the statement of income.
- Dividends from these financial assets are recorded in the statement of income.
Date of Recognition of Financial Assets Financial assets are recognized on the trading date (which is the date the Company commits itself to purchase or sale of the financial assets).
Fair ValueClosing market prices (acquiring assets/selling liabilities) in the active market at the date of the financial statement represent the fair value of financial derivatives traded. In case declared market prices do not exist, active trading of some financial assets and derivatives is not available or the market is inactive, fair value is estimated by one of several methods including the following:
- Comparison with the market value of another financial asset with similar terms and conditions.- Analysis of the present value of expected future cash flows for similar instruments.- Adoption of the option pricing models.
The valuation methods aim at providing a fair value reflecting the expectations of the market, expected risks and expected benefits. Moreover, financial assets, the fair value of which can not be reliably measured, are stated at cost, less any impairment.
Impairment in the Value of Financial AssetsThe Company reviews the values of financial assets on the date of the statement of financial position in order to determine if there are any indications of impairment in their value individually or in the form of a portfolio. In case such indications exist, the recoverable value is estimated so as to determine the impairment loss.
Impairment Is Determined as Follows:Impairment in financial assets recorded at amortized cost is determined on the basis of the present value of the expected cash flows discounted at the original interest rate.
The impairment in value is recorded in the statement of income. Any surplus in the following period resulting from previous declines in the fair value of financial assets is taken to the statement of income.
Property InvestmentProperty investment is stated at cost, not of accumulated depreciation (except land). Moreover, property investment is depreciated according to its productive useful life at a rate of 2%. Any impairment is taken to the statement of income. Furthermore, gains or operating costs are recorded in the statement of income.
Property investment is evaluated in accordance with the regulations of the insurance commission and its fair value is disclosed in the financial statements.
Cash and Cash EquivalentsCash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances with banks and financial institutions maturing within three months, less bank accounts payable and restricted funds.
Reinsurance AccountsReinsurers’ shares of insurance premiums, paid claims, technical provisions and all other rights and obligations resulting from reinsurance based on contracts concluded between the Company and reinsurers are accounted for on the accrual basis.
Impairment in Reinsurance AssetsIn case there is any indication as to the impairment of the reinsurance assets of the Company, which possesses the reinsured contracts, the Company has to reduce the present value of the contracts and record the impairment in the statement of income. The impairment is recognized in the following two cases only:
1. There is objective evidence resulting from an event that took place after the recording of the reinsurance assets confirming the Company’s inability to recover all the amounts under the contract terms.
2. The event has a reliably and clearly measurable effect on the amounts that the Company will recover from reinsurers.
Acquisition Costs of Insurance PoliciesAcquisition costs represent the costs incurred by the Company against selling, underwriting, or starting new insurance contracts. The acquisition costs are recorded in the statement of income.
Property and EquipmentProperty and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment. Moreover, fixed assets (except land) are depreciated according to the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives using the following yearly rates. Depreciation is recorded in the statement of income as follows: Buildings 2%Furniture, fixtures, and equipment 7% - 25%Vehicles 15%
Property and equipment are depreciated when ready for their intended use.
When the recoverable values of property and equipment is less than their carrying amounts, assets are written down and impairment losses are recorded in the statement of income.
The useful lives of property and equipment are reviewed at the end of each year. In case the expected useful life is different from what was determined before, the change in estimate is recorded in the following years as a change in estimate.
The gains or losses resulting from the disposal or derecognition of property and equipment, representing the difference between the property and equipment sale proceeds and their book value, are recorded in the statement of income.
Property and equipment are derecognized when disposed of or when there is no expected future benefit from their use or disposal.
Pledged financial assetsFinancial assets that are pledged by other parties are given with the right to have control over them (sell or re-pledge). Continuous valuation of these assets is made in accordance with the accounting policies adopted, based on each asset’s original classification.
ProvisionsProvisions are recognized when the Company has an obligation on the date of the statement of financial position as a result of past events, it is probable to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made.
Amounts recognized as provisions represent the best evaluation of the amounts required to settle the
obligation as of the financial statements date, taking into consideration risks and the uncertainty relating to the obligation. When the provision amount is determined on the basis of the expected cash flows for the settlement of the current obligation, its book value represents the present value of these cash flows.
When it is expected that some or all of the economic benefits required from other parties to settle the provision will be recovered, the receivable is recognized within assets if receipt of the compensations is actually certain and their value can be reliably measured.
a. Technical ProvisionsTechnical provisions are taken and maintained according to the regulations of the Insurance Commission as follows:
1. The provision for unearned premiums for general insurance activities is calculated according to the remaining days up to the expiry date of the insurance policy after the financial statements date on the basis of a 365-day year except for marine and land transport insurance for which the provision is calculated on the basis of written premiums of the policies issued on the date of the financial statements according to laws, regulations and instructions issued for this purpose.
2. The provision for (reported) claims is computed by determining the maximum total expected costs for each claim on an individual basis.
3. Additional provisions for incurred but not reported claims are calculated based on the Company's experience and estimates.
4. Unearned premium reserved for life insurance is calculated based on the Company’s experience and estimates, in addition to the actual expert.
5. Mathematical reserve for life insurance policies is calculated based on actuarial formulas that are reviewed periodically by an independent actuarial expert.
b. Provision for Doubtful DebtsA provision for doubtful debts is taken when there is objective evidence that whole or part of these debts has become irrecoverable. The provision is calculated as the difference between the book value and recoverable value.
c. End of Service Indemnity ProvisionEnd of Service indemnity provision is calculated based on the internal regulations prepared by the Company in accordance with the Jordanian Companies Law.
Annual compensations paid to the terminated employees are charged to the End of Service indemnity provision when paid. Moreover, an allowance for the Company’s liabilities in connection with End of Service compensations is taken to the statement of income.
Liability Adequacy TestAt the statement of financial position date, the adequacy and suitability of the insurance liabilities are evaluated through the calculation of the present value of the future cash flows relating to the outstanding insurance policies.
If the evaluation shows that the present value of the insurance liabilities (various purchase expenses less suitable and related intangible assets) is inadequate compared to the expected future cash flows, the full impairment is recorded in the statement of income.
Income TaxIncome tax expenses represent accrued taxes and deferred taxes. Income tax expenses are accounted for on the basis of taxable income. Moreover, taxable income differs from income declared in the financial statements because the latter includes non-taxable revenue or tax expenses not deductible in the current year, but deductible in subsequent years, accumulated losses acceptable by the tax authorities, as well as unallowable and non-taxable items.
- Taxes are calculated on the basis of the tax rates prescribed according to the prevailing laws, regulations and instructions in the countries the company operates in.
Deferred TaxesDeferred taxes are taxes expected to be paid or recovered as a result of temporary timing differences between the value of the assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the value of the taxable amount.
Moreover, deferred taxes are calculated according to the statement of financial position liability method based on the tax rates expected to be applied at the tax settlement date or the realization of the deferred tax assets or liabilities.
- The balances of deferred tax assets and liabilities are reviewed at the statement of financial position date and reduced in case they are expected not to be utilized or are no longer needed, wholly or partially.
Issuance or Purchase Costs of the Insurance Company SharesAny costs resulting from the issuance or purchase of the Company’s shares are posted to the retained earnings (net of the tax effect on these costs). Moreover, if the issuance or purchase process was not complete, the costs will be posted as expenses in the statement of income.
OffsettingFinancial assets and financial liabilities are offset, and the net amount is reflected in the statement of financial position only when there are legal rights to offset the recognized amounts, the Company intends to settle them on a net basis or assets are realized and liabilities settled simultaneously.
Revenue Recognitiona. Insurance ContractsInsurance premiums arising from insurance contracts are recorded as revenue for the year (earned insurance premiums) on the basis of the maturities of time periods and in accordance with the insurance coverage periods. Insurance premiums from insurance contracts unearned at the date of the statement of financial position are recorded as unearned insurance premiums within liabilities.
Claims and incurred losses settlement expenses are recorded in the statement of income based on the expected liability amount of the compensation relating to the insurance policyholders or other affected parties.
b. Dividends and InterestDividends from investments are recorded when the right of the shareholder to receive dividends arises upon the related resolution of the General Assembly of Shareholders.
Interest income is calculated according to the accrual basis based on the maturities of the time periods, original principals and earned interest rate.
c. RentRent revenue is recognized from property investments through operating rent contracts, using the straight line method over the contracts’ periods. Other expenses are recognized on the accrual basis.
Expense RecognitionAll commissions and other costs relating to the acquisition of new or renewed insurance policies are amortized in the statement of income upon their occurrence. Other expenses are recognized on the accrual basis.
Insurance CompensationsInsurance compensations represent the claims paid during the period and the change in the claims provision. The insurance compensations represent all the amounts paid during the year whether they relate to the current year or previous years. Moreover, outstanding claims represent the highest estimated amount for the settlement of all claims resulting from events that took place prior to the statement of financial position date but were still unsettled at that date. Moreover, outstanding claims are calculated on the basis of the best information available at the date of the financial statements and include the incurred but not reported claims provision.
Salvage and Subrogation ReimbursementsEstimates of salvage and subrogation reimbursements are considered as an allowance in the measurement of the insurance liability for claims.
General, Administrative and Employee Expenses All distributable general and administrative expenses are loaded on insurance branches separately. Moreover, 80% of undistributable general, administrative and employee expenses have been allocated to the various insurance departments on the basis of the earned premiums of each department in proportion to total premiums.
Foreign Currencies Transactions during the year in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date. Financial assets and financial liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated according to the average exchange rates issued by the Central Bank of Jordan at the date of the statement of financial position.
Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at fair value at the date of the determination of their fair value.
Exchange gains or losses resulting therefrom are taken to the statement of income.
Translation differences are posted to the assets and liabilities items in non-monetary foreign currencies as part of the change in fair value.
Use of Estimates Preparation of the financial statements and application of the accounting policies require the Company’s management to perform estimates and judgments that affect the amounts of the financial assets and liabilities, and disclosures relating to contingent liabilities. These estimates and judgments also affect revenues, expenses, provisions and changes in the fair value shown within shareholders’ equity. In particular, management is required to issue significant judgments to assess future cash flows and their timing. The above-mentioned estimates are based on several assumptions and factors with varying degrees of estimation and uncertainty. Moreover, the actual results may differ from the estimates due to changes resulting from the circumstances and situations of those estimates in the future.
Management believes that the estimates within the financial statements are reasonable. The details are as follows:
- A provision for accounts receivable is made according to the various assumptions and basis adopted by management to evaluate the required provision as per International Financial Reporting Standards.
- Management periodically reevaluates the productive lives of tangible assets for the purpose of calculating annual depreciation based on the general condition of those assets and the estimates of their expected productive lives in the future. Any impairment loss is taken to the statement of income.
- Income tax provision: the financial year is charged with its part from income tax according to the prevailing regulations and the international financial reporting standards. The required income tax provision is calculated and posted.
The claims provision and technical provisions are taken based on technical studies, and according to the instructions of the Insurance Commission. Moreover, the mathematical reserve is taken based on actuarial studies.
- A provision for lawsuits against the Company is based on a legal study conducted by the Company’s lawyer, according to which probable future risks are
determined. A review of such studies is performed periodically.
- Management reviews the financial assets, shown at amortized cost, to evaluate any impairment in their value. Such impairment is taken to the statement of income.
- Property investments are evaluated by independent real estate experts in accordance with the regulations of the Insurance Commission. Moreover, the fair value of the property investments is disclosed in the financial statements.
- Fair value hierarchy: the standard requires the Company to determine and disclose the level in the fair value hierarchy into which the fair value measurements are categorized in their entirety, segregating fair value measurements in accordance with the levels defined in IFRS. Differentiating between Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements, i.e., assessing whether inputs are observable and whether the unobservable inputs are significant may require judgment and a careful analysis of the inputs used to measure fair value, including consideration of factors specific to the asset or liability.

to the Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and in accordance with the forms prescribed by the Jordanian Insurance Commission.
- The financial statements have been prepared according to the historical cost convention except for financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through the statement of income and financial assets at fair value through the statement of comprehensive income that are presented at fair value at the date of the financial statements. Moreover, financial assets and financial liabilities that have been hedged for the risk of change in fair value are presented in fair value.
- The Jordanian Dinar is the functional and reporting currency of the financial statements.
Basis of Consolidating the Financial Statements- The financial statements include the financial statements of the Company with its foreign branches.
- The accounting policies adopted in the financial statements are consistent with those applied in the year ended December 31, 2012.
Sector Information- The business sector represents a set of assets and
operations that jointly provide products and services subject to risks and returns different from those of other business sectors that are measured in accordance to the reports used by the executive manager and the main decision maker in the Company.
- The geographic sector relates to the provision of products and services in a defined economic environment subject to risks and returns different from those of other economic environments.
Financial Assets at Fair Value Through Profit or LossFinancial assets at fair value through profit or loss represent shares and bonds held by the Company for the purpose of trading and achieving gains from the fluctuations in market prices in the short term.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are initially stated at fair value at acquisition date (purchase costs are recorded on the statement of income upon purchase). They are subsequently re-measured to fair value as of the date of the financial statements. Moreover, changes in fair value are recorded in the statement of income including the change in fair value resulting from foreign currency exchange translation of non-monetary assets. Gains or losses resulting from the sale of these financial assets are taken to the statement of income.
Dividends and interest from these financial assets are recorded in the statement of income.
These financial assets are not subject to revaluation for impairment losses.
Financial Assets at Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income- Financial assets at fair value through other
comprehensive income represent strategic investments in the Company’s shares for the purpose of keeping them in the long term.
- Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are initially stated at fair value including acquisition costs upon purchase, and are subsequently re-measured to fair value. Moreover, changes to fair value
are recorded in the statement of other comprehensive income and in shareholders’ equity including the change in fair value resulting from foreign currency exchange translation of non-monetary assets. If these financial assets were sold, the resulting gains or losses are taken to the statement of other comprehensive income and in shareholders’ equity. The valuation reserve of sold financial assets is transferred directly to retained earnings, but not through the statement of income.
- Dividends from these financial assets are recorded in the statement of income.
Date of Recognition of Financial Assets Financial assets are recognized on the trading date (which is the date the Company commits itself to purchase or sale of the financial assets).
Fair ValueClosing market prices (acquiring assets/selling liabilities) in the active market at the date of the financial statement represent the fair value of financial derivatives traded. In case declared market prices do not exist, active trading of some financial assets and derivatives is not available or the market is inactive, fair value is estimated by one of several methods including the following:
- Comparison with the market value of another financial asset with similar terms and conditions.- Analysis of the present value of expected future cash flows for similar instruments.- Adoption of the option pricing models.
The valuation methods aim at providing a fair value reflecting the expectations of the market, expected risks and expected benefits. Moreover, financial assets, the fair value of which can not be reliably measured, are stated at cost, less any impairment.
Impairment in the Value of Financial AssetsThe Company reviews the values of financial assets on the date of the statement of financial position in order to determine if there are any indications of impairment in their value individually or in the form of a portfolio. In case such indications exist, the recoverable value is estimated so as to determine the impairment loss.
Impairment Is Determined as Follows:Impairment in financial assets recorded at amortized cost is determined on the basis of the present value of the expected cash flows discounted at the original interest rate.
The impairment in value is recorded in the statement of income. Any surplus in the following period resulting from previous declines in the fair value of financial assets is taken to the statement of income.
Property InvestmentProperty investment is stated at cost, not of accumulated depreciation (except land). Moreover, property investment is depreciated according to its productive useful life at a rate of 2%. Any impairment is taken to the statement of income. Furthermore, gains or operating costs are recorded in the statement of income.
Property investment is evaluated in accordance with the regulations of the insurance commission and its fair value is disclosed in the financial statements.
Cash and Cash EquivalentsCash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances with banks and financial institutions maturing within three months, less bank accounts payable and restricted funds.
Reinsurance AccountsReinsurers’ shares of insurance premiums, paid claims, technical provisions and all other rights and obligations resulting from reinsurance based on contracts concluded between the Company and reinsurers are accounted for on the accrual basis.
Impairment in Reinsurance AssetsIn case there is any indication as to the impairment of the reinsurance assets of the Company, which possesses the reinsured contracts, the Company has to reduce the present value of the contracts and record the impairment in the statement of income. The impairment is recognized in the following two cases only:
1. There is objective evidence resulting from an event that took place after the recording of the reinsurance assets confirming the Company’s inability to recover all the amounts under the contract terms.
2. The event has a reliably and clearly measurable effect on the amounts that the Company will recover from reinsurers.
Acquisition Costs of Insurance PoliciesAcquisition costs represent the costs incurred by the Company against selling, underwriting, or starting new insurance contracts. The acquisition costs are recorded in the statement of income.
Property and EquipmentProperty and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment. Moreover, fixed assets (except land) are depreciated according to the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives using the following yearly rates. Depreciation is recorded in the statement of income as follows: Buildings 2%Furniture, fixtures, and equipment 7% - 25%Vehicles 15%
Property and equipment are depreciated when ready for their intended use.
When the recoverable values of property and equipment is less than their carrying amounts, assets are written down and impairment losses are recorded in the statement of income.
The useful lives of property and equipment are reviewed at the end of each year. In case the expected useful life is different from what was determined before, the change in estimate is recorded in the following years as a change in estimate.
The gains or losses resulting from the disposal or derecognition of property and equipment, representing the difference between the property and equipment sale proceeds and their book value, are recorded in the statement of income.
Property and equipment are derecognized when disposed of or when there is no expected future benefit from their use or disposal.
Pledged financial assetsFinancial assets that are pledged by other parties are given with the right to have control over them (sell or re-pledge). Continuous valuation of these assets is made in accordance with the accounting policies adopted, based on each asset’s original classification.
ProvisionsProvisions are recognized when the Company has an obligation on the date of the statement of financial position as a result of past events, it is probable to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made.
Amounts recognized as provisions represent the best evaluation of the amounts required to settle the
obligation as of the financial statements date, taking into consideration risks and the uncertainty relating to the obligation. When the provision amount is determined on the basis of the expected cash flows for the settlement of the current obligation, its book value represents the present value of these cash flows.
When it is expected that some or all of the economic benefits required from other parties to settle the provision will be recovered, the receivable is recognized within assets if receipt of the compensations is actually certain and their value can be reliably measured.
a. Technical ProvisionsTechnical provisions are taken and maintained according to the regulations of the Insurance Commission as follows:
1. The provision for unearned premiums for general insurance activities is calculated according to the remaining days up to the expiry date of the insurance policy after the financial statements date on the basis of a 365-day year except for marine and land transport insurance for which the provision is calculated on the basis of written premiums of the policies issued on the date of the financial statements according to laws, regulations and instructions issued for this purpose.
2. The provision for (reported) claims is computed by determining the maximum total expected costs for each claim on an individual basis.
3. Additional provisions for incurred but not reported claims are calculated based on the Company's experience and estimates.
4. Unearned premium reserved for life insurance is calculated based on the Company’s experience and estimates, in addition to the actual expert.
5. Mathematical reserve for life insurance policies is calculated based on actuarial formulas that are reviewed periodically by an independent actuarial expert.
b. Provision for Doubtful DebtsA provision for doubtful debts is taken when there is objective evidence that whole or part of these debts has become irrecoverable. The provision is calculated as the difference between the book value and recoverable value.
c. End of Service Indemnity ProvisionEnd of Service indemnity provision is calculated based on the internal regulations prepared by the Company in accordance with the Jordanian Companies Law.
Annual compensations paid to the terminated employees are charged to the End of Service indemnity provision when paid. Moreover, an allowance for the Company’s liabilities in connection with End of Service compensations is taken to the statement of income.
Liability Adequacy TestAt the statement of financial position date, the adequacy and suitability of the insurance liabilities are evaluated through the calculation of the present value of the future cash flows relating to the outstanding insurance policies.
If the evaluation shows that the present value of the insurance liabilities (various purchase expenses less suitable and related intangible assets) is inadequate compared to the expected future cash flows, the full impairment is recorded in the statement of income.
Income TaxIncome tax expenses represent accrued taxes and deferred taxes. Income tax expenses are accounted for on the basis of taxable income. Moreover, taxable income differs from income declared in the financial statements because the latter includes non-taxable revenue or tax expenses not deductible in the current year, but deductible in subsequent years, accumulated losses acceptable by the tax authorities, as well as unallowable and non-taxable items.
- Taxes are calculated on the basis of the tax rates prescribed according to the prevailing laws, regulations and instructions in the countries the company operates in.
Deferred TaxesDeferred taxes are taxes expected to be paid or recovered as a result of temporary timing differences between the value of the assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the value of the taxable amount.
Moreover, deferred taxes are calculated according to the statement of financial position liability method based on the tax rates expected to be applied at the tax settlement date or the realization of the deferred tax assets or liabilities.
- The balances of deferred tax assets and liabilities are reviewed at the statement of financial position date and reduced in case they are expected not to be utilized or are no longer needed, wholly or partially.
Issuance or Purchase Costs of the Insurance Company SharesAny costs resulting from the issuance or purchase of the Company’s shares are posted to the retained earnings (net of the tax effect on these costs). Moreover, if the issuance or purchase process was not complete, the costs will be posted as expenses in the statement of income.
OffsettingFinancial assets and financial liabilities are offset, and the net amount is reflected in the statement of financial position only when there are legal rights to offset the recognized amounts, the Company intends to settle them on a net basis or assets are realized and liabilities settled simultaneously.
Revenue Recognitiona. Insurance ContractsInsurance premiums arising from insurance contracts are recorded as revenue for the year (earned insurance premiums) on the basis of the maturities of time periods and in accordance with the insurance coverage periods. Insurance premiums from insurance contracts unearned at the date of the statement of financial position are recorded as unearned insurance premiums within liabilities.
Claims and incurred losses settlement expenses are recorded in the statement of income based on the expected liability amount of the compensation relating to the insurance policyholders or other affected parties.
b. Dividends and InterestDividends from investments are recorded when the right of the shareholder to receive dividends arises upon the related resolution of the General Assembly of Shareholders.
Interest income is calculated according to the accrual basis based on the maturities of the time periods, original principals and earned interest rate.
c. RentRent revenue is recognized from property investments through operating rent contracts, using the straight line method over the contracts’ periods. Other expenses are recognized on the accrual basis.
Expense RecognitionAll commissions and other costs relating to the acquisition of new or renewed insurance policies are amortized in the statement of income upon their occurrence. Other expenses are recognized on the accrual basis.
Insurance CompensationsInsurance compensations represent the claims paid during the period and the change in the claims provision. The insurance compensations represent all the amounts paid during the year whether they relate to the current year or previous years. Moreover, outstanding claims represent the highest estimated amount for the settlement of all claims resulting from events that took place prior to the statement of financial position date but were still unsettled at that date. Moreover, outstanding claims are calculated on the basis of the best information available at the date of the financial statements and include the incurred but not reported claims provision.
Salvage and Subrogation ReimbursementsEstimates of salvage and subrogation reimbursements are considered as an allowance in the measurement of the insurance liability for claims.
General, Administrative and Employee Expenses All distributable general and administrative expenses are loaded on insurance branches separately. Moreover, 80% of undistributable general, administrative and employee expenses have been allocated to the various insurance departments on the basis of the earned premiums of each department in proportion to total premiums.
Foreign Currencies Transactions during the year in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date. Financial assets and financial liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated according to the average exchange rates issued by the Central Bank of Jordan at the date of the statement of financial position.
Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at fair value at the date of the determination of their fair value.
Exchange gains or losses resulting therefrom are taken to the statement of income.
Translation differences are posted to the assets and liabilities items in non-monetary foreign currencies as part of the change in fair value.
Use of Estimates Preparation of the financial statements and application of the accounting policies require the Company’s management to perform estimates and judgments that affect the amounts of the financial assets and liabilities, and disclosures relating to contingent liabilities. These estimates and judgments also affect revenues, expenses, provisions and changes in the fair value shown within shareholders’ equity. In particular, management is required to issue significant judgments to assess future cash flows and their timing. The above-mentioned estimates are based on several assumptions and factors with varying degrees of estimation and uncertainty. Moreover, the actual results may differ from the estimates due to changes resulting from the circumstances and situations of those estimates in the future.
Management believes that the estimates within the financial statements are reasonable. The details are as follows:
- A provision for accounts receivable is made according to the various assumptions and basis adopted by management to evaluate the required provision as per International Financial Reporting Standards.
- Management periodically reevaluates the productive lives of tangible assets for the purpose of calculating annual depreciation based on the general condition of those assets and the estimates of their expected productive lives in the future. Any impairment loss is taken to the statement of income.
- Income tax provision: the financial year is charged with its part from income tax according to the prevailing regulations and the international financial reporting standards. The required income tax provision is calculated and posted.
The claims provision and technical provisions are taken based on technical studies, and according to the instructions of the Insurance Commission. Moreover, the mathematical reserve is taken based on actuarial studies.
- A provision for lawsuits against the Company is based on a legal study conducted by the Company’s lawyer, according to which probable future risks are
determined. A review of such studies is performed periodically.
- Management reviews the financial assets, shown at amortized cost, to evaluate any impairment in their value. Such impairment is taken to the statement of income.
- Property investments are evaluated by independent real estate experts in accordance with the regulations of the Insurance Commission. Moreover, the fair value of the property investments is disclosed in the financial statements.
- Fair value hierarchy: the standard requires the Company to determine and disclose the level in the fair value hierarchy into which the fair value measurements are categorized in their entirety, segregating fair value measurements in accordance with the levels defined in IFRS. Differentiating between Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements, i.e., assessing whether inputs are observable and whether the unobservable inputs are significant may require judgment and a careful analysis of the inputs used to measure fair value, including consideration of factors specific to the asset or liability.

- The geographic sector relates to the provision of products and services in a defined economic environment subject to risks and returns different from those of other economic environments.
Financial Assets at Fair Value Through Profit or LossFinancial assets at fair value through profit or loss represent shares and bonds held by the Company for the purpose of trading and achieving gains from the fluctuations in market prices in the short term.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are initially stated at fair value at acquisition date (purchase costs are recorded on the statement of income upon purchase). They are subsequently re-measured to fair value as of the date of the financial statements. Moreover, changes in fair value are recorded in the statement of income including the change in fair value resulting from foreign currency exchange translation of non-monetary assets. Gains or losses resulting from the sale of these financial assets are taken to the statement of income.
Dividends and interest from these financial assets are recorded in the statement of income.
These financial assets are not subject to revaluation for impairment losses.
Financial Assets at Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income- Financial assets at fair value through other
comprehensive income represent strategic investments in the Company’s shares for the purpose of keeping them in the long term.
- Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are initially stated at fair value including acquisition costs upon purchase, and are subsequently re-measured to fair value. Moreover, changes to fair value
are recorded in the statement of other comprehensive income and in shareholders’ equity including the change in fair value resulting from foreign currency exchange translation of non-monetary assets.

The valuation reserve of sold financial assets is transferred directly to retained earnings, but not through the statement of income.
- Dividends from these financial assets are recorded in the statement of income.
Date of Recognition of Financial Assets Financial assets are recognized on the trading date (which is the date the Company commits itself to purchase or sale of the financial assets).
Fair ValueClosing market prices (acquiring assets/selling liabilities) in the active market at the date of the financial statement represent the fair value of financial derivatives traded. In case declared market prices do not exist, active trading of some financial assets and derivatives is not available or the market is inactive, fair value is estimated by one of several methods including the following:
- Comparison with the market value of another financial asset with similar terms and conditions.- Analysis of the present value of expected future cash flows for similar instruments.- Adoption of the option pricing models.
The valuation methods aim at providing a fair value reflecting the expectations of the market, expected risks and expected benefits. Moreover, financial assets, the fair value of which can not be reliably measured, are stated at cost, less any impairment.
Impairment in the Value of Financial AssetsThe Company reviews the values of financial assets on the date of the statement of financial position in order to determine if there are any indications of impairment in their value individually or in the form of a portfolio. In case such indications exist, the recoverable value is estimated so as to determine the impairment loss.
Impairment Is Determined as Follows:Impairment in financial assets recorded at amortized cost is determined on the basis of the present value of the expected cash flows discounted at the original interest rate.
The impairment in value is recorded in the statement of income. Any surplus in the following period resulting from previous declines in the fair value of financial assets is taken to the statement of income.
Property InvestmentProperty investment is stated at cost, not of accumulated depreciation (except land). Moreover, property investment is depreciated according to its productive useful life at a rate of 2%. Any impairment is taken to the statement of income. Furthermore, gains or operating costs are recorded in the statement of income.
Property investment is evaluated in accordance with the regulations of the insurance commission and its fair value is disclosed in the financial statements.
Cash and Cash EquivalentsCash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances with banks and financial institutions maturing within three months, less bank accounts payable and restricted funds.
Reinsurance AccountsReinsurers’ shares of insurance premiums, paid claims, technical provisions and all other rights and obligations resulting from reinsurance based on contracts concluded between the Company and reinsurers are accounted for on the accrual basis.
Impairment in Reinsurance AssetsIn case there is any indication as to the impairment of the reinsurance assets of the Company, which possesses the reinsured contracts, the Company has to reduce the present value of the contracts and record the impairment in the statement of income. The impairment is recognized in the following two cases only:
1. There is objective evidence resulting from an event that took place after the recording of the reinsurance assets confirming the Company’s inability to recover all the amounts under the contract terms.
2. The event has a reliably and clearly measurable effect on the amounts that the Company will recover from reinsurers.
Acquisition Costs of Insurance PoliciesAcquisition costs represent the costs incurred by the Company against selling, underwriting, or starting new insurance contracts. The acquisition costs are recorded in the statement of income.
Notes to Financial StatementsProperty and EquipmentProperty and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment. Moreover, fixed assets (except land) are depreciated according to the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives using the following yearly rates. Depreciation is recorded in the statement of income as follows: Buildings 2%Furniture, fixtures, and equipment 7% - 25%Vehicles 15%
Property and equipment are depreciated when ready for their intended use.
When the recoverable values of property and equipment is less than their carrying amounts, assets are written down and impairment losses are recorded in the statement of income.
The useful lives of property and equipment are reviewed at the end of each year. In case the expected useful life is different from what was determined before, the change in estimate is recorded in the following years as a change in estimate.
The gains or losses resulting from the disposal or derecognition of property and equipment, representing the difference between the property and equipment sale proceeds and their book value, are recorded in the statement of income.
Property and equipment are derecognized when disposed of or when there is no expected future benefit from their use or disposal.
Pledged financial assetsFinancial assets that are pledged by other parties are given with the right to have control over them (sell or re-pledge). Continuous valuation of these assets is made in accordance with the accounting policies adopted, based on each asset’s original classification.
ProvisionsProvisions are recognized when the Company has an obligation on the date of the statement of financial position as a result of past events, it is probable to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made.
Amounts recognized as provisions represent the best evaluation of the amounts required to settle the
obligation as of the financial statements date, taking into consideration risks and the uncertainty relating to the obligation. When the provision amount is determined on the basis of the expected cash flows for the settlement of the current obligation, its book value represents the present value of these cash flows.
When it is expected that some or all of the economic benefits required from other parties to settle the provision will be recovered, the receivable is recognized within assets if receipt of the compensations is actually certain and their value can be reliably measured.
a. Technical ProvisionsTechnical provisions are taken and maintained according to the regulations of the Insurance Commission as follows:
1. The provision for unearned premiums for general insurance activities is calculated according to the remaining days up to the expiry date of the insurance policy after the financial statements date on the basis of a 365-day year except for marine and land transport insurance for which the provision is calculated on the basis of written premiums of the policies issued on the date of the financial statements according to laws, regulations and instructions issued for this purpose.
2. The provision for (reported) claims is computed by determining the maximum total expected costs for each claim on an individual basis.
3. Additional provisions for incurred but not reported claims are calculated based on the Company's experience and estimates.
4. Unearned premium reserved for life insurance is calculated based on the Company’s experience and estimates, in addition to the actual expert.
5. Mathematical reserve for life insurance policies is calculated based on actuarial formulas that are reviewed periodically by an independent actuarial expert.
b. Provision for Doubtful DebtsA provision for doubtful debts is taken when there is objective evidence that whole or part of these debts has become irrecoverable. The provision is calculated as the difference between the book value and recoverable value.
c. End of Service Indemnity ProvisionEnd of Service indemnity provision is calculated based on the internal regulations prepared by the Company in accordance with the Jordanian Companies Law.
Annual compensations paid to the terminated employees are charged to the End of Service indemnity provision when paid. Moreover, an allowance for the Company’s liabilities in connection with End of Service compensations is taken to the statement of income.
Liability Adequacy TestAt the statement of financial position date, the adequacy and suitability of the insurance liabilities are evaluated through the calculation of the present value of the future cash flows relating to the outstanding insurance policies.
If the evaluation shows that the present value of the insurance liabilities (various purchase expenses less suitable and related intangible assets) is inadequate compared to the expected future cash flows, the full impairment is recorded in the statement of income.
Income TaxIncome tax expenses represent accrued taxes and deferred taxes. Income tax expenses are accounted for on the basis of taxable income. Moreover, taxable income differs from income declared in the financial statements because the latter includes non-taxable revenue or tax expenses not deductible in the current year, but deductible in subsequent years, accumulated losses acceptable by the tax authorities, as well as unallowable and non-taxable items.
- Taxes are calculated on the basis of the tax rates prescribed according to the prevailing laws, regulations and instructions in the countries the company operates in.
Deferred TaxesDeferred taxes are taxes expected to be paid or recovered as a result of temporary timing differences between the value of the assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the value of the taxable amount.
Moreover, deferred taxes are calculated according to the statement of financial position liability method based on the tax rates expected to be applied at the tax settlement date or the realization of the deferred tax assets or liabilities.
- The balances of deferred tax assets and liabilities are reviewed at the statement of financial position date and reduced in case they are expected not to be utilized or are no longer needed, wholly or partially.
Issuance or Purchase Costs of the Insurance Company SharesAny costs resulting from the issuance or purchase of the Company’s shares are posted to the retained earnings (net of the tax effect on these costs). Moreover, if the issuance or purchase process was not complete, the costs will be posted as expenses in the statement of income.
OffsettingFinancial assets and financial liabilities are offset, and the net amount is reflected in the statement of financial position only when there are legal rights to offset the recognized amounts, the Company intends to settle them on a net basis or assets are realized and liabilities settled simultaneously.
Revenue Recognitiona. Insurance ContractsInsurance premiums arising from insurance contracts are recorded as revenue for the year (earned insurance premiums) on the basis of the maturities of time periods and in accordance with the insurance coverage periods. Insurance premiums from insurance contracts unearned at the date of the statement of financial position are recorded as unearned insurance premiums within liabilities.
Claims and incurred losses settlement expenses are recorded in the statement of income based on the expected liability amount of the compensation relating to the insurance policyholders or other affected parties.
b. Dividends and InterestDividends from investments are recorded when the right of the shareholder to receive dividends arises upon the related resolution of the General Assembly of Shareholders.
Interest income is calculated according to the accrual basis based on the maturities of the time periods, original principals and earned interest rate.
c. RentRent revenue is recognized from property investments through operating rent contracts, using the straight line method over the contracts’ periods. Other expenses are recognized on the accrual basis.
Expense RecognitionAll commissions and other costs relating to the acquisition of new or renewed insurance policies are amortized in the statement of income upon their occurrence. Other expenses are recognized on the accrual basis.
Insurance CompensationsInsurance compensations represent the claims paid during the period and the change in the claims provision. The insurance compensations represent all the amounts paid during the year whether they relate to the current year or previous years. Moreover, outstanding claims represent the highest estimated amount for the settlement of all claims resulting from events that took place prior to the statement of financial position date but were still unsettled at that date. Moreover, outstanding claims are calculated on the basis of the best information available at the date of the financial statements and include the incurred but not reported claims provision.
Salvage and Subrogation ReimbursementsEstimates of salvage and subrogation reimbursements are considered as an allowance in the measurement of the insurance liability for claims.
General, Administrative and Employee Expenses All distributable general and administrative expenses are loaded on insurance branches separately. Moreover, 80% of undistributable general, administrative and employee expenses have been allocated to the various insurance departments on the basis of the earned premiums of each department in proportion to total premiums.
Foreign Currencies Transactions during the year in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date. Financial assets and financial liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated according to the average exchange rates issued by the Central Bank of Jordan at the date of the statement of financial position.
Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at fair value at the date of the determination of their fair value.
Exchange gains or losses resulting therefrom are taken to the statement of income.
Translation differences are posted to the assets and liabilities items in non-monetary foreign currencies as part of the change in fair value.
Use of Estimates Preparation of the financial statements and application of the accounting policies require the Company’s management to perform estimates and judgments that affect the amounts of the financial assets and liabilities, and disclosures relating to contingent liabilities. These estimates and judgments also affect revenues, expenses, provisions and changes in the fair value shown within shareholders’ equity. In particular, management is required to issue significant judgments to assess future cash flows and their timing. The above-mentioned estimates are based on several assumptions and factors with varying degrees of estimation and uncertainty. Moreover, the actual results may differ from the estimates due to changes resulting from the circumstances and situations of those estimates in the future.
Management believes that the estimates within the financial statements are reasonable. The details are as follows:
- A provision for accounts receivable is made according to the various assumptions and basis adopted by management to evaluate the required provision as per International Financial Reporting Standards.
- Management periodically reevaluates the productive lives of tangible assets for the purpose of calculating annual depreciation based on the general condition of those assets and the estimates of their expected productive lives in the future. Any impairment loss is taken to the statement of income.
- Income tax provision: the financial year is charged with its part from income tax according to the prevailing regulations and the international financial reporting standards. The required income tax provision is calculated and posted.
The claims provision and technical provisions are taken based on technical studies, and according to the instructions of the Insurance Commission. Moreover, the mathematical reserve is taken based on actuarial studies.
- A provision for lawsuits against the Company is based on a legal study conducted by the Company’s lawyer, according to which probable future risks are
determined. A review of such studies is performed periodically.
- Management reviews the financial assets, shown at amortized cost, to evaluate any impairment in their value. Such impairment is taken to the statement of income.
- Property investments are evaluated by independent real estate experts in accordance with the regulations of the Insurance Commission. Moreover, the fair value of the property investments is disclosed in the financial statements.
- Fair value hierarchy: the standard requires the Company to determine and disclose the level in the fair value hierarchy into which the fair value measurements are categorized in their entirety, segregating fair value measurements in accordance with the levels defined in IFRS. Differentiating between Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements, i.e., assessing whether inputs are observable and whether the unobservable inputs are significant may require judgment and a careful analysis of the inputs used to measure fair value, including consideration of factors specific to the asset or liability.

- A provision for lawsuits against the Company is based on a legal study conducted by the Company’s lawyer, according to which probable future risks are
determined. A review of such studies is performed periodically.
- Management reviews the financial assets, shown at amortized cost, to evaluate any impairment in their value. Such impairment is taken to the statement of income.
- Property investments are evaluated by independent real estate experts in accordance with the regulations of the Insurance Commission. Moreover, the fair value of the property investments is disclosed in the financial statements.
- Fair value hierarchy: the standard requires the Company to determine and disclose the level in the fair value hierarchy into which the fair value measurements are categorized in their entirety, segregating fair value measurements in accordance with the levels defined in IFRS. Differentiating between Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements, i.e., assessing whether inputs are observable and whether the unobservable inputs are significant may require judgment and a careful analysis of the inputs used to measure fair value, including consideration of factors specific to the asset or liability.

1. General
a. The Company was established in 1951 and is registered as a Jordanian Public Shareholding Company under Number (11) with a paid-up capital of JD 100,000. On July 12, 1981, the Company’s capital was raised to JD 1,100,000.
On May 1, 1988, the Company merged with General Assurance Company for the Near East (National Union) in Jordan, after the evaluation of the two companies’ assets. Accordingly, the Company’s capital was increased to JD 5,000,000 divided into 5,000,000 shares.
The Company's capital was raised gradually with the latest increase in 2006, in which the authorized Company capital was raised by JD 10,000,000 to reach JD 30,000,000 divided into 30,000,000 shares. The Company is involved in various insurance activities and has branches in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Dubai and marketing insurance policies in Kuwait through an agency.
b. The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on Feb. 4, 2014, subject to the approval of the General Assembly of Shareholders.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Preparation- The financial statements have been prepared according
to the Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and in accordance with the forms prescribed by the Jordanian Insurance Commission.
- The financial statements have been prepared according to the historical cost convention except for financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through the statement of income and financial assets at fair value through the statement of comprehensive income that are presented at fair value at the date of the financial statements. Moreover, financial assets and financial liabilities that have been hedged for the risk of change in fair value are presented in fair value.
- The Jordanian Dinar is the functional and reporting currency of the financial statements.
Basis of Consolidating the Financial Statements- The financial statements include the financial statements of the Company with its foreign branches.
- The accounting policies adopted in the financial statements are consistent with those applied in the year ended December 31, 2012.
Sector Information- The business sector represents a set of assets and
operations that jointly provide products and services subject to risks and returns different from those of other business sectors that are measured in accordance to the reports used by the executive manager and the main decision maker in the Company.
- The geographic sector relates to the provision of products and services in a defined economic environment subject to risks and returns different from those of other economic environments.
Financial Assets at Fair Value Through Profit or LossFinancial assets at fair value through profit or loss represent shares and bonds held by the Company for the purpose of trading and achieving gains from the fluctuations in market prices in the short term.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are initially stated at fair value at acquisition date (purchase costs are recorded on the statement of income upon purchase). They are subsequently re-measured to fair value as of the date of the financial statements. Moreover, changes in fair value are recorded in the statement of income including the change in fair value resulting from foreign currency exchange translation of non-monetary assets. Gains or losses resulting from the sale of these financial assets are taken to the statement of income.
Dividends and interest from these financial assets are recorded in the statement of income.
These financial assets are not subject to revaluation for impairment losses.
Financial Assets at Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income- Financial assets at fair value through other
comprehensive income represent strategic investments in the Company’s shares for the purpose of keeping them in the long term.
- Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are initially stated at fair value including acquisition costs upon purchase, and are subsequently re-measured to fair value. Moreover, changes to fair value
are recorded in the statement of other comprehensive income and in shareholders’ equity including the change in fair value resulting from foreign currency exchange translation of non-monetary assets. If these financial assets were sold, the resulting gains or losses are taken to the statement of other comprehensive income and in shareholders’ equity. The valuation reserve of sold financial assets is transferred directly to retained earnings, but not through the statement of income.
- Dividends from these financial assets are recorded in the statement of income.
Date of Recognition of Financial Assets Financial assets are recognized on the trading date (which is the date the Company commits itself to purchase or sale of the financial assets).
Fair ValueClosing market prices (acquiring assets/selling liabilities) in the active market at the date of the financial statement represent the fair value of financial derivatives traded. In case declared market prices do not exist, active trading of some financial assets and derivatives is not available or the market is inactive, fair value is estimated by one of several methods including the following:
- Comparison with the market value of another financial asset with similar terms and conditions.- Analysis of the present value of expected future cash flows for similar instruments.- Adoption of the option pricing models.
The valuation methods aim at providing a fair value reflecting the expectations of the market, expected risks and expected benefits. Moreover, financial assets, the fair value of which can not be reliably measured, are stated at cost, less any impairment.
Impairment in the Value of Financial AssetsThe Company reviews the values of financial assets on the date of the statement of financial position in order to determine if there are any indications of impairment in their value individually or in the form of a portfolio. In case such indications exist, the recoverable value is estimated so as to determine the impairment loss.
Impairment Is Determined as Follows:Impairment in financial assets recorded at amortized cost is determined on the basis of the present value of the expected cash flows discounted at the original interest rate.
The impairment in value is recorded in the statement of income. Any surplus in the following period resulting from previous declines in the fair value of financial assets is taken to the statement of income.
Property InvestmentProperty investment is stated at cost, not of accumulated depreciation (except land). Moreover, property investment is depreciated according to its productive useful life at a rate of 2%. Any impairment is taken to the statement of income. Furthermore, gains or operating costs are recorded in the statement of income.
Property investment is evaluated in accordance with the regulations of the insurance commission and its fair value is disclosed in the financial statements.
Cash and Cash EquivalentsCash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances with banks and financial institutions maturing within three months, less bank accounts payable and restricted funds.
Reinsurance AccountsReinsurers’ shares of insurance premiums, paid claims, technical provisions and all other rights and obligations resulting from reinsurance based on contracts concluded between the Company and reinsurers are accounted for on the accrual basis.
Impairment in Reinsurance AssetsIn case there is any indication as to the impairment of the reinsurance assets of the Company, which possesses the reinsured contracts, the Company has to reduce the present value of the contracts and record the impairment in the statement of income. The impairment is recognized in the following two cases only:
1. There is objective evidence resulting from an event that took place after the recording of the reinsurance assets confirming the Company’s inability to recover all the amounts under the contract terms.
2. The event has a reliably and clearly measurable effect on the amounts that the Company will recover from reinsurers.
Acquisition Costs of Insurance PoliciesAcquisition costs represent the costs incurred by the Company against selling, underwriting, or starting new insurance contracts. The acquisition costs are recorded in the statement of income.
Property and EquipmentProperty and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment. Moreover, fixed assets (except land) are depreciated according to the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives using the following yearly rates. Depreciation is recorded in the statement of income as follows: Buildings 2%Furniture, fixtures, and equipment 7% - 25%Vehicles 15%
Property and equipment are depreciated when ready for their intended use.
When the recoverable values of property and equipment is less than their carrying amounts, assets are written down and impairment losses are recorded in the statement of income.
The useful lives of property and equipment are reviewed at the end of each year. In case the expected useful life is different from what was determined before, the change in estimate is recorded in the following years as a change in estimate.
The gains or losses resulting from the disposal or derecognition of property and equipment, representing the difference between the property and equipment sale proceeds and their book value, are recorded in the statement of income.
Property and equipment are derecognized when disposed of or when there is no expected future benefit from their use or disposal.
Pledged financial assetsFinancial assets that are pledged by other parties are given with the right to have control over them (sell or re-pledge). Continuous valuation of these assets is made in accordance with the accounting policies adopted, based on each asset’s original classification.
ProvisionsProvisions are recognized when the Company has an obligation on the date of the statement of financial position as a result of past events, it is probable to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made.
Amounts recognized as provisions represent the best evaluation of the amounts required to settle the
obligation as of the financial statements date, taking into consideration risks and the uncertainty relating to the obligation. When the provision amount is determined on the basis of the expected cash flows for the settlement of the current obligation, its book value represents the present value of these cash flows.
When it is expected that some or all of the economic benefits required from other parties to settle the provision will be recovered, the receivable is recognized within assets if receipt of the compensations is actually certain and their value can be reliably measured.
a. Technical ProvisionsTechnical provisions are taken and maintained according to the regulations of the Insurance Commission as follows:
1. The provision for unearned premiums for general insurance activities is calculated according to the remaining days up to the expiry date of the insurance policy after the financial statements date on the basis of a 365-day year except for marine and land transport insurance for which the provision is calculated on the basis of written premiums of the policies issued on the date of the financial statements according to laws, regulations and instructions issued for this purpose.
2. The provision for (reported) claims is computed by determining the maximum total expected costs for each claim on an individual basis.
3. Additional provisions for incurred but not reported claims are calculated based on the Company's experience and estimates.
4. Unearned premium reserved for life insurance is calculated based on the Company’s experience and estimates, in addition to the actual expert.
5. Mathematical reserve for life insurance policies is calculated based on actuarial formulas that are reviewed periodically by an independent actuarial expert.
b. Provision for Doubtful DebtsA provision for doubtful debts is taken when there is objective evidence that whole or part of these debts has become irrecoverable. The provision is calculated as the difference between the book value and recoverable value.
c. End of Service Indemnity ProvisionEnd of Service indemnity provision is calculated based on the internal regulations prepared by the Company in accordance with the Jordanian Companies Law.
Annual compensations paid to the terminated employees are charged to the End of Service indemnity provision when paid. Moreover, an allowance for the Company’s liabilities in connection with End of Service compensations is taken to the statement of income.
Liability Adequacy TestAt the statement of financial position date, the adequacy and suitability of the insurance liabilities are evaluated through the calculation of the present value of the future cash flows relating to the outstanding insurance policies.
If the evaluation shows that the present value of the insurance liabilities (various purchase expenses less suitable and related intangible assets) is inadequate compared to the expected future cash flows, the full impairment is recorded in the statement of income.
Income TaxIncome tax expenses represent accrued taxes and deferred taxes. Income tax expenses are accounted for on the basis of taxable income. Moreover, taxable income differs from income declared in the financial statements because the latter includes non-taxable revenue or tax expenses not deductible in the current year, but deductible in subsequent years, accumulated losses acceptable by the tax authorities, as well as unallowable and non-taxable items.
- Taxes are calculated on the basis of the tax rates prescribed according to the prevailing laws, regulations and instructions in the countries the company operates in.
Deferred TaxesDeferred taxes are taxes expected to be paid or recovered as a result of temporary timing differences between the value of the assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the value of the taxable amount.
Moreover, deferred taxes are calculated according to the statement of financial position liability method based on the tax rates expected to be applied at the tax settlement date or the realization of the deferred tax assets or liabilities.
- The balances of deferred tax assets and liabilities are reviewed at the statement of financial position date and reduced in case they are expected not to be utilized or are no longer needed, wholly or partially.
Issuance or Purchase Costs of the Insurance Company SharesAny costs resulting from the issuance or purchase of the Company’s shares are posted to the retained earnings (net of the tax effect on these costs). Moreover, if the issuance or purchase process was not complete, the costs will be posted as expenses in the statement of income.
OffsettingFinancial assets and financial liabilities are offset, and the net amount is reflected in the statement of financial position only when there are legal rights to offset the recognized amounts, the Company intends to settle them on a net basis or assets are realized and liabilities settled simultaneously.
Revenue Recognitiona. Insurance ContractsInsurance premiums arising from insurance contracts are recorded as revenue for the year (earned insurance premiums) on the basis of the maturities of time periods and in accordance with the insurance coverage periods. Insurance premiums from insurance contracts unearned at the date of the statement of financial position are recorded as unearned insurance premiums within liabilities.
Claims and incurred losses settlement expenses are recorded in the statement of income based on the expected liability amount of the compensation relating to the insurance policyholders or other affected parties.
b. Dividends and InterestDividends from investments are recorded when the right of the shareholder to receive dividends arises upon the related resolution of the General Assembly of Shareholders.
Interest income is calculated according to the accrual basis based on the maturities of the time periods, original principals and earned interest rate.
c. RentRent revenue is recognized from property investments through operating rent contracts, using the straight line method over the contracts’ periods. Other expenses are recognized on the accrual basis.

Notes to Financial StatementsExpense RecognitionAll commissions and other costs relating to the acquisition of new or renewed insurance policies are amortized in the statement of income upon their occurrence. Other expenses are recognized on the accrual basis.
Insurance CompensationsInsurance compensations represent the claims paid during the period and the change in the claims provision. The insurance compensations represent all the amounts paid during the year whether they relate to the current year or previous years. Moreover, outstanding claims represent the highest estimated amount for the settlement of all claims resulting from events that took place prior to the statement of financial position date but were still unsettled at that date. Moreover, outstanding claims are calculated on the basis of the best information available at the date of the financial statements and include the incurred but not reported claims provision.
Salvage and Subrogation ReimbursementsEstimates of salvage and subrogation reimbursements are considered as an allowance in the measurement of the insurance liability for claims.
General, Administrative and Employee Expenses All distributable general and administrative expenses are loaded on insurance branches separately. Moreover, 80% of undistributable general, administrative and employee expenses have been allocated to the various insurance departments on the basis of the earned premiums of each department in proportion to total premiums.
Foreign Currencies Transactions during the year in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date. Financial assets and financial liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated according to the average exchange rates issued by the Central Bank of Jordan at the date of the statement of financial position.
Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at fair value at the date of the determination of their fair value.
Exchange gains or losses resulting therefrom are taken to the statement of income.
Translation differences are posted to the assets and liabilities items in non-monetary foreign currencies as part of the change in fair value.
Use of Estimates Preparation of the financial statements and application of the accounting policies require the Company’s management to perform estimates and judgments that affect the amounts of the financial assets and liabilities, and disclosures relating to contingent liabilities. These estimates and judgments also affect revenues, expenses, provisions and changes in the fair value shown within shareholders’ equity. In particular, management is required to issue significant judgments to assess future cash flows and their timing. The above-mentioned estimates are based on several assumptions and factors with varying degrees of estimation and uncertainty. Moreover, the actual results may differ from the estimates due to changes resulting from the circumstances and situations of those estimates in the future.
Management believes that the estimates within the financial statements are reasonable. The details are as follows:
- A provision for accounts receivable is made according to the various assumptions and basis adopted by management to evaluate the required provision as per International Financial Reporting Standards.
- Management periodically reevaluates the productive lives of tangible assets for the purpose of calculating annual depreciation based on the general condition of those assets and the estimates of their expected productive lives in the future. Any impairment loss is taken to the statement of income.
- Income tax provision: the financial year is charged with its part from income tax according to the prevailing regulations and the international financial reporting standards. The required income tax provision is calculated and posted.
The claims provision and technical provisions are taken based on technical studies, and according to the instructions of the Insurance Commission. Moreover, the mathematical reserve is taken based on actuarial studies.
- A provision for lawsuits against the Company is based on a legal study conducted by the Company’s lawyer, according to which probable future risks are
determined. A review of such studies is performed periodically.
- Management reviews the financial assets, shown at amortized cost, to evaluate any impairment in their value. Such impairment is taken to the statement of income.
- Property investments are evaluated by independent real estate experts in accordance with the regulations of the Insurance Commission. Moreover, the fair value of the property investments is disclosed in the financial statements.
- Fair value hierarchy: the standard requires the Company to determine and disclose the level in the fair value hierarchy into which the fair value measurements are categorized in their entirety, segregating fair value measurements in accordance with the levels defined in IFRS. Differentiating between Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements, i.e., assessing whether inputs are observable and whether the unobservable inputs are significant may require judgment and a careful analysis of the inputs used to measure fair value, including consideration of factors specific to the asset or liability.
