TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS NATIONAL INSURANCE BOARD FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Notes to Financial Statements, continued 2016 Year ended March 31, 2016 47 3. Significant accounting policies, continued (b) Provisions A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, NIB has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be reliably estimated, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. Per IAS 26 NIB has an option as to whether it discloses the actuarial present value of promised retirement benefits on the statement of financial position, in the notes to the financial statements or in an accompanying actuarial report. NIB has elected to disclose the actuarial present value of promised retirement benefits in a note to the financial statements (note 22). The actuarial present value of long-term benefits, other than retirement benefits, was quantified by an independent actuary at March 31, 2015 and 2016 (note 22) and recognised in NIB’s financial statements in accordance with IAS 37 and IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements. (c) Property and equipment (i) Recognition and measurement Property and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (note 3(f)(ii)). Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of property and equipment. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment. When parts of an item of property and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property and equipment. Gains or losses arising from the disposal of property and equipment are reflected in the statement of income, expenses and reserves. (ii) Subsequent costs The cost of replacing an item of property and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to NIB and its cost can be reliably measured. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. The cost of the day- to-day servicing of property and equipment is recognised in the statement of income, expenses and reserves, as incurred. 16

Significant accounting policies, continued (c) Property and equipment, continued (iii) Depreciation Depreciation is recognised in the statement of income, expenses and reserves on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property and equipment, since this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset. Land is not depreciated. Estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows: Buildings 25 years Furniture & Fixtures 3-10 years Computer Equipment 3-10 years Motor Vehicles 4 years Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted, if necessary. (d) Reserves The TCI National Insurance (Financial and Accounting) Regulations (the Regulations) require benefits and reserves to be grouped into separate benefit branches (the Benefit Branches) and reserves, respectively, as follows: (i) Long-term Benefit Branch, comprising retirement benefit, invalidity pension, survivors’ benefit, funeral grant and non-contributory old age pension. A Long-term Benefit Reserve is constituted by annually transferring the excess of income over expenses of the Long-term Benefit Branch. FINANCIAL (ii) Short-term Benefit Branch, comprising sickness benefit and maternity benefit. STATEMENTS A Short-term Benefit Reserve is constituted by annually transferring the excess 2016 of income over expenses of the Short-term Benefit Branch. (iii) Employment Injury Benefit Branch, comprising injury benefit, disablement benefit, death benefit, death grant payable on death due to employment injury and medical care. An Employment Injury Benefit Reserve is constituted to finance employment injury benefit, disablement grant, death grant and medical care by annually transferring that part of the net income of the Employment Injury Benefit Branch that is sufficient to maintain the level of the reserve at one-half of the amount paid for the said benefits in the two previous financial years. 48 17

Significant accounting policies, continued (d) Reserves, continued (iv) A Disablement and Death Benefit Reserve is constituted by annually transferring the remaining net income of the Employment Injury Benefit Branch, after the aforementioned transfer has been made to the Employment Injury Benefit Reserve in accordance with the Regulations. Further information on the allocation of income and expenses to the reserves is shown at note 3(e)(v). (e) Revenue and expense recognition (i) Contribution and surcharge income Contribution income is recognised on an accruals basis, at the requisite statutory rates, utilising employer monthly contribution statements, which are settled in arrears. Surcharges are recognised on an accruals basis at the requisite statutory rates. (ii) Rental income Rental income is recognised in the statement of income, expenses and reserves on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives granted are recognised as an integral part of the total rental income over the term of the lease. (iii) Investment income Investment income comprises interest income on funds invested (including available-for-sale financial assets), dividend income, gains on the disposal of available-for-sale financial assets and change in market value of available-for- sale financial assets. Interest income is recognised in the statement of income, expenses and reserves as it accrues, using the effective interest rate method. Dividend income is recognised in the statement of income, expenses and reserves on the date that NIB’s right to receive payment is established, which, in the case of quoted securities, is the ex-dividend date. Gains on the disposal of available-for-sale financial assets are included in the statement of income, expenses and reserves in the period in which they arise. (iv) Benefits, general and administrative expenses Expenditure on benefits is recognised when NIB’s obligation to make a payment has been established, which is generally upon approval of a claim. General and administrative expenses are recognised on an accruals basis. 18 49

Short-term benefits such as maternity allowance, sickness and maternity grants are generally recognised upon approval of a claim subject to the provisions of sections 28(1), 22(1) and 33(1) of the Benefit Regulations, respectively. Employment injury benefits such as disablement, death and injury are generally recognised upon approval of a claim subject to the provisions of sections 39(1), 45 and 35(1) of the Benefit Regulations, respectively. As disclosed at notes 3(i) and 22, NIB has chosen to disclose the actuarial present value of promised retirement benefits and other long-term benefits in the notes to these financial statements as per IAS 26. An actuarial valuation is performed every 3 years. The latest valuation was performed as at March 31, 2016. Certain results of the actuarial valuation as at March 31, 2016 are disclosed further at note 22. The actuarial present value of long-term benefits, other than retirement benefits, was quantified by an independent actuary at March 31, 2015 and 2016 (note 22) and recognised in NIB’s financial statements in accordance with IAS 37. (v) Basis of apportionment of income and expenses The statutory rates of total contributions, which are applied on an employed and self-employed person’s earnings and stipulated under sections 4, 14 and 19 of the TCI National Insurance (Contributions) Regulations (the Contributions Regulations), are as follows: Civil Servants 6.85%; Private Sector (general) 8.00%; Private Sector (under section 4(3) of the Contributions Regulations) 2.50%; Self Employed 6.80%; and Voluntary 5.50%. Section 4(3) of the Contributions Regulations relates to the employment of a temporary resident employed person on which contributions are payable at a rate of 2.5% and not the standard 8% for all other private sector workers. 50 19

FINANCIAL TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS NATIONAL INSURANCE BOARD STATEMENTS Notes to Financial Statements, continued 2016 Year ended March 31, 2016 3. Significant accounting policies, continued (f) Impairment (i) Non-derivative financial assets Financial assets not held for investment purposes are assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment. Objective evidence that financial assets are impaired includes: default or delinquency by a debtor; restructuring of an amount due to NIB on terms that NIB would not consider otherwise; indications that a debtor or issuer will enter bankruptcy; adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers or issuers; the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties; or observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the expected cash flows from a group of financial assets. In addition, for an investment in an equity security, objective evidence of impairment includes a significant or prolonged decline in its fair value below its cost. NIB considers a decline of 20% to be significant and a period of nine months to be prolonged. Financial assets measured at amortised cost NIB considers evidence of impairment for these assets (loans and receivables) at both an individual asset and a collective level. All individually significant assets are individually assessed for impairment. Those found not to be impaired are then collectively assessed for any impairment that has been incurred but not yet individually identified. Assets that are not individually significant are collectively assessed for impairment. Collective assessment is carried out by grouping together assets with similar risk characteristics. In assessing collective impairment, NIB uses historical information on the timing of recoveries and the amount of loss incurred, and makes an adjustment if current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to be greater or lesser than suggested by historical trends. 52 21

Significant accounting policies, continued (f) Impairment, continued (i) Non-derivative financial assets, continued Financial assets measured at amortised cost, continued An impairment loss is calculated as the difference between an asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. Losses are recognised in the statement of income, expenses and reserves and reflected in an allowance account against loans and receivables. When NIB considers that there are no realistic prospects of recovery of the asset, the relevant amounts are written off. If the amount of impairment loss subsequently decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, then the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed in the statement of income, expenses and reserves. Available-for-sale financial assets Impairment losses on available-for-sale financial assets are recognised by NIB in the statement of income, expenses and reserves. Changes in cumulative impairment losses attributable to application of the effective interest rate method are reflected as a component of interest income. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of an impaired available-for-sale debt and equity security increases and the increase can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in the statement of income, expenses and reserves, then the impairment loss is reversed by NIB, with the amount of the reversal recognised in the statement of income, expenses and reserves. (ii) Non-financial assets At each reporting date, NIB reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs. The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. 22

Significant accounting policies, continued (f) Impairment, continued (ii) Non-financial assets, continued Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of income, expenses and reserves. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. (g) Leases (i) Operating leases Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor, are classified as operating leases. Assets leased out under operating leases are included in investment property on the statement of financial position. Rental expenses and rental income are recognised in the statement of income, expenses and reserves on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised as an integral part of the total rental expenses, over the term of the lease. (ii) Finance leases Assets held by NIB under leases which transfer substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership to NIB are classified as finance leases. On initial recognition, the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset. Assets held under other leases are classified as operating leases and are not recognised on NIB’s statement of financial position. NIB considers whether a lease is a finance lease or an operating lease based on the substance of the transaction rather than the form. The following characteristics are considered by NIB that would normally lead to a lease being classified as a finance lease: the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term; the lessee has the option to purchase the underlying asset at a price that is expected to be sufficiently lower than the fair value at the date the option becomes exercisable for it to be reasonably certain, at the inception date, that the option will be exercised; 54 23
TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS NATIONAL INSURANCE BOARD FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Notes to Financial Statements, continued 2016 Year ended March 31, 2016 55 3. Significant accounting policies, continued (g) Leases, continued (ii) Finance leases, continued the lease term is for the major part of the economic life of the underlying asset even if title is not transferred; at the inception date, the present value of the lease payments amounts to at least substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset; and the underlying asset is of such a specialised nature such that only the lessee can use it without major modifications. (h) Taxation Under current TCI law, NIB is not required to pay any taxes in TCI on either income or capital gains. Consequently, no tax liability or expense has been recorded in these financial statements. (i) Actuarial present value of promised retirement benefits IAS 26 permits the recognition of long-term liabilities for retirement benefits on the statement of financial position, in the notes to the financial statements or in an accompanying actuarial report. NIB has elected to recognise the actuarial present value of its promised retirement benefits in the notes to the financial statements (note 22). The actuarial present value of other long-term benefits have been recognised as a liability for all reporting periods. (j) Related parties A related party is a person or entity that is related to the entity that is preparing its financial statements. (i) A person or a close member of that person’s family is related to a reporting entity if that person: has control or joint control over the reporting entity; has significant influence over the reporting entity; or is a member of the key management personnel of the reporting entity, or of a parent of the reporting entity. (ii) An entity is related to a reporting entity if any of the following conditions apply: The entity and the reporting entity are members of the same group (which means that each parent, subsidiary and fellow subsidiary is related to the others). One entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or an associate or joint venture of a member of a group of which the other entity is a member). 24

One entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the third entity. The entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of either the reporting entity or an entity related to the reporting entity. If the reporting entity is itself such a plan, the sponsoring employers are also related to the reporting entity. The entity is controlled, or jointly controlled, by a person identified above. A person identified above has significant influence over the entity or is a member of the key management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity). The entity, or any member of a group of which it is a part, provides key management personnel services to the reporting entity or to the parent of the reporting entity. Related party transactions pertain to transfer of resources, services or obligations between a reporting entity and a related party, regardless of whether a price is charged. (k) New standards, amendments to standards and interpretations not yet adopted The following are new standards, amendments and interpretations to published standards, issued but not effective for the financial year beginning April 1, 2015 and not early adopted by NIB: Disclosure initiative (amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements) – The amendments to IAS 1 relate to (i) materiality; (ii) order of the notes; (iii) subtotals; (iv) accounting policies; and (v) disaggregation and are designed to further encourage companies to apply professional judgment in determining what information to disclose in their financial statements. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016, with early adoption permitted. IFRS 9, Financial Instruments – IFRS 9, published in July 2014, replaces the existing guidance in IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 includes revised guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments, a new expected credit loss model for calculating impairment on financial assets, and new general hedge accounting requirements. It also carries forward the guidance on recognition and derecognition of financial instruments from IAS 39. 56 25

Significant accounting policies, continued (k) New standards, amendments to standards and interpretations not yet adopted, continued IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, continued Although the permissible measurement bases for financial assets, amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income and fair value through profit or loss, are similar to IAS 39, the criteria for classification into the appropriate measurement categories are significantly different. IFRS 9 also replaces the ‘incurred loss’ model in IAS 39 with an ‘expected credit loss’ model, which means that a loss event will no longer need to occur before an impairment allowance is recognised. The expected credit loss model is more forward looking and will require use of reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions to determine increases in credit risk and measurement of expected credit losses. It may also result in an increase in the total level of impairment allowance as all financial assets will be assessed for impairment, and the population size will be greater than that for financial assets with objective evidence of impairment under IAS 39. IFRS 9 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers – IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognised. It replaces existing revenue recognition guidance, including IAS 18, Revenue, IAS 11, Construction Contracts and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) 13, Customer Loyalty Programmes. IFRS 15 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. IFRS 16, Leases – IFRS 16 specifies how an IFRS reporter will recognise, measure, present and disclose leases. IFRS 16 provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognise assets and liabilities on the statement of financial position for all leases unless the lease term is 12 months or less or the underlying asset has a low value. It replaces existing leases guidance, including IAS 17, Leases, IFRIC 4, Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, Standard Interpretations Committee (SIC)-15, Operating Leases - Incentives and SIC-27, Evaluating the Substance of Transactions involving the Legal Form of a Lease. Lessors continue to classify leases as operating or finance, with IFRS 16’s approach to lessor accounting substantially unchanged from its predecessor, IAS 17. IFRS 16 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted only for entities that also apply IFRS 15. 26

Significant accounting policies, continued (k) New standards, amendments to standards and interpretations not yet adopted, continued IFRS 17, Insurance Contracts – IFRS 17 establishes the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts within the scope of the standard. The objective of IFRS 17 is to ensure that an entity provides relevant information that faithfully represents those contracts. This information gives a basis for users of financial statements to assess the effect that insurance contracts have on the entity's financial position, financial performance and cash flows. IFRS 17 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021, with early adoption permitted only for entities that also apply both IFRS 9 and 15. NIB is currently assessing the potential future impact on its financial statements resulting from the application of amendments to IAS 1, IFRS 9, 15, 16 and 17. 58 27
TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS NATIONAL INSURANCE BOARD FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Notes to Financial Statements, continued 2016 Year ended March 31, 2016 4. Determination of fair values A number of NIB’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes, as described below. Where applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair value has been disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. (a) Available-for-sale financial assets The fair value of available-for-sale financial assets is determined by reference to their quoted prices in active market at the reporting date. (b) Investment in, and assets held with, TCI Bank NIB’s investment in TCI Bank Limited (TCI Bank) has been accounted for using the fair value model so as to comply with IAS 26. Changes in fair value are recognised in the statement of income, expenses and reserves. The fair value of NIB’s investment in TCI Bank was assessed by NIB’s management to be US$nil at March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 as a consequence of TCI Bank entering provisional liquidation on April 9, 2010 and liquidation on October 29, 2010. The fair value of NIB’s other, non-secured, assets held with TCI Bank were reduced by 56% of the total amounts held at the date TCI Bank entered provisional liquidation, being management’s best estimate of an appropriate fair value adjustment in the circumstances. (c) Provisions for long-term benefits, other than retirement benefits The fair value of provisions for long-term benefits, other than retirement benefits, is estimated as the present value of future cash out flows discounted at a rate of 4.5% at the reporting date (note 22). (d) Other financial instruments Due to their short-term nature the carrying amounts of other financial assets and liabilities of NIB approximate their fair value. The fair value of financial assets and liabilities with no fixed terms of repayment cannot be determined reliably. 28 59
FINANCIAL TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS NATIONAL INSURANCE BOARD STATEMENTS Notes to Financial Statements, continued 2016 Year ended March 31, 2016 4. Determination of fair values, continued NIB has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. NIB regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information, such as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, then NIB assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that such valuations meet the requirements of IFRS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which such valuations should be classified. Significant valuation issues are reported to the Board of Directors of NIB (the Board). When measuring the fair value of a financial instrument, NIB uses observable market data as far as possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows: Level 1: inputs that are quoted market prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical instruments; Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). This category includes instruments using: quoted market prices in active markets for similar instruments; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are considered less than active; or other valuation techniques in which all significant inputs are directly or indirectly observable from market data; Level 3: inputs that are unobservable. This category includes all instruments for which the valuation technique includes inputs not based on observable data and the unobservable inputs have a significant effect on the instruments’ valuation. This category includes instruments that are valued based on quoted prices for similar instruments for which significant unobservable adjustments or assumptions are required to reflect differences between the instruments. Valuation techniques include net present value, discounted cash flow models and comparison with similar instruments for which an observable market exists. Assumptions and inputs used in valuation techniques include risk-free and benchmark interest rates. The objective of the valuation technique is to arrive at a fair value measurement that reflects the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. If the inputs used to measure the fair value of a financial instrument fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement. NIB recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred. 60 29

FINANCIAL TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS NATIONAL INSURANCE BOARD STATEMENTS Notes to Financial Statements, continued 2016 Year ended March 31, 2016 20. Financial instruments NIB has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments: (a) Credit risk (b) Liquidity risk (c) Market risk This note presents information about NIB’s exposure to each of the above risks, NIB’s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and NIB’s management of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these financial statements. Risk management framework The Minister with responsibility for National Insurance (the Minister) appoints the Directors. The Directors have full discretionary power to direct, manage, allocate and rebalance or liquidate NIB’s investments in compliance with the terms of the IPS. The Directors established the IPS which communicates the investment philosophy of the Directors regarding NIB’s investments. The IPS creates a general framework within which the investment assets of NIB can be managed. The IPS envisages a rebalancing exercise at least semi-annually to keep asset allocations within recommended ranges. At March 31, 2016 and 2015 NIB kept its asset allocation, except for Small cap core U.S. equities at March 31, 2016 and cash and money market instruments at March 31, 2015, within ranges recommended by the IPS (note 20 (c)(ii)). The Directors may appoint such person(s) as necessary to achieve NIB’s investment objectives. The pursuit of these objectives also involves assuming responsibility for the establishment and oversight of NIB’s risk management framework and for developing and monitoring NIB’s risk management policies. NIB’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by NIB, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and NIB’s activities. The Directors appoint an Investment Committee and designate its Chairman who is a Director. The Directors also appoint an Investment Manager who has responsibility for the day to day management of NIB’s assets. NIB’s investment portfolio is comprised of mainly quoted equity securities and debt securities, long-term receivables and deposits. 76 45
TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS NATIONAL INSURANCE BOARD Notes to Financial Statements, continued Year ended March 31, 2016 20. Financial instruments, continued (a) Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that a contributor or counterparty to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation or commitment that it has entered into with NIB, resulting in a financial loss to NIB. NIB’s credit risk policy is to minimise its exposure to counterparties with perceived higher risk of default by taking collateral. Credit risk is monitored on a regular basis by the Investment Committee. NIB management are of the opinion that NIB’s policies governing delinquent accounts and provisions for impairment / fair value adjustments ensure that these financial statements accurately reflect any credit risk associated with amounts due from contributors and other debtors. As explained at note 3(e)(i), NIB recognises surcharges on an accruals basis. The provision for impairment represents the estimate of incurred losses in respect of contributions receivable, excluding surcharges, and is made up of a specific loss component relating to individual exposures. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset on the statement of financial position. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was: Carrying Amount 2016 2015 Current assets: US$ 37,006,816 35,275,365 Cash and cash equivalents 3,696,239 3,243,570 Contributions and other receivables 150,000 562,721 FINANCIAL Current portion of long-term receivables – 3,470,498 STATEMENTS Current portion of long-term deposits 40,853,055 42,552,154 2016 Non-current assets: Available-for-sale financial assets 178,039,019 172,540,089 Long-term receivables 718,379 2,330,303 Long-term deposits 694,100 694,100 179,451,498 175,564,492 US$ 220,304,553 218,116,646 46 77

Financial instruments, continued (a) Credit risk, continued NIB’s activities may give rise to risk at the time of settlement of transactions. Settlement risk is the risk of loss due to the failure of an entity to honour its obligations to deliver cash, securities or other assets as contractually agreed. For the vast majority of transactions NIB mitigates this risk by conducting settlements through a compliance officer to ensure that a contribution is settled only when both parties have fulfilled their contractual settlement obligations.

The allowance is based on the aging of contributor accounts, contributor credit worthiness and NIB’s historical write-off experience. Changes to the provision may be required if the financial condition of its contributors improve or deteriorate. An improvement in financial condition may result in lower actual write-offs. Historically, changes to the estimate of losses have not been material to NIB’s financial position and results of operations. 48 79

(b) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that NIB will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations arising FINANCIAL from its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial STATEMENTS asset, or that such obligations will have to be settled in a manner disadvantageous to NIB. 2016 NIB’s policy for managing liquidity is to have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities, including estimated payments of benefits, as and when due, without incurring undue losses or risking damage to NIB’s reputation. NIB’s financial assets include long-term receivables which are generally illiquid. In addition, NIB’s deposits with TCI Bank are now subject to restrictions over their future redemption. NIB also holds a TCIG issued debt security investment which is exposed to redemption restrictions (note 8(b)). Consequently, NIB may not be able to quickly liquidate some of its investments in these instruments in order to meet its liquidity requirements. NIB’s U.S. equity securities are considered to be readily realisable as they are listed on United States stock exchanges. NIB’s overall liquidity risks are monitored on a regular basis by the Investment Committee. At the reporting date there were no significant concentrations of liquidity risk. NIB ensures that it has sufficient liquid financial assets comprising cash and cash equivalents to meet its current financial liabilities. 50 81

Financial instruments, continued (c) Market risk Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates and equity prices, will affect NIB’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return on risk. NIB’s strategy for the management of market risk is driven by NIB’s investment objectives as reflected in its IPS. NIB’s market risk is managed on a regular basis by the Investment Committee. NIB may not invest in margin transactions; acquisition of shares that would permit the portfolio to exercise control over the issuer; uncovered speculative positions; direct investments in physical commodities; futures contracts and options and derivative investments. (i) Interest rate risk NIB’s operations are subject to the risk of interest rate fluctuation to the extent that interest-earning assets mature or reprice at different times or in differing amounts. Risk management activities are aimed at optimising net interest income, given market interest rate levels consistent with NIB’s strategies. At the reporting date, the interest rate profile of NIB’s interest-bearing financial instruments was: Cash flow sensitivity analysis for fixed rate instruments 2016 2015 Fixed rate instruments: US$ 41,074,992 47,110,722 FINANCIAL Financial assets STATEMENTS 868,379 2,893,024 Available-for-sale financial assets – – 2016 Long-term receivables (current and non-current) US$ 41,943,371 50,003,746 Financial liabilities A change of 100 basis points in interest rates for fixed rate instruments at the reporting date would have increased/(decreased) income in the statement of income, expense and reserves by US$419,434/(US$419,434) (2015: US$500,037/(US$500,037)) assuming all other variables remained constant. 52 83

These have therefore been excluded from the above analysis. NIB’s investment portfolio is permitted to utilise derivatives for hedging and income enhancing strategies. However, derivatives are not used to expressly employ leverage or other speculative strategies. Therefore, unless a specific type of security is allowed by the IPS, the Investment Manager must seek permission from the Investment Committee to invest in derivative instruments.

The method applied to determine the fair value of long-term receivables at the reporting date was a discounted cash flow model. This valuation model considers the present value of expected payment, discounted using a risk- adjusted discount rate. 56 87
FINANCIAL TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS NATIONAL INSURANCE BOARD STATEMENTS Notes to Financial Statements, continued 2016 Year ended March 31, 2016 20. Financial instruments, continued (c) Market risk, continued (iii) Fair value, continued Observable prices or model inputs are usually available in the market for listed debt and equity securities. Availability of observable market prices and model inputs reduces the need for management judgement and estimation and also reduces the uncertainty associated with determining fair values. Availability of observable market prices and inputs varies depending on the products and markets and is prone to changes based on specific events and general conditions in the financial markets. If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement. NIB’s equity securities classified as available-for-sale financial assets are listed on US and non-US stock exchanges. For such investments, a five percent increase in value at the reporting date would have increased income in the statement of income, expenses and reserves by US$6,848,201 (2015: US$6,271,468) and an equal change in the opposite direction would have decreased income in the statement of income, expenses and reserves by US$6,848,201 (2015: US$6,271,468). The value of NIB’s investment holdings with TCI Bank has been reduced by management’s best estimate following TCI Bank entering provisional and then full liquidation. A 10% decrease in the provision on the gross, non-secured, non-equity, balance would have increase the change in fair value and net income in the statement of income, expenses and reserves for the year by US$1.75 million (2015: US$1.75 million). 21. Capital management Under the Regulations NIB is required to maintain the following reserves: (a) The minimum level of the Long-term Benefit Reserve shall be equivalent to the expenditure for benefits under the Long-term Benefit Branch during the three previous financial years. (b) The minimum level of the Short-term Benefit Reserve shall be equivalent to one- fourth of the expenditure for benefits under the Short-term Benefit Branch during the two previous financial years. 88 57
TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS NATIONAL INSURANCE BOARD Notes to Financial Statements, continued Year ended March 31, 2016 21. Capital management, continued (c) An Employment Injury Benefit Reserve shall be constituted to finance injury benefit, disablement grant, death grant and medical care by transferring thereto annually as much of the excess of income over expenses of the Employment Injury Benefit Branch as is needed to maintain the level of the Employment Injury Benefit Reserve at one-half of the amount paid for the said benefits in the two previous financial years. The Employment Injury Benefit Reserve at March 31, 2016 and 2015 was determined as follows: Paid benefits Required 2016 2015 reserve at March 31, 2016 Injury benefit US$ 102,393 44,976 73,685 Accrued employment – – 1,240,058 injury costs (note 12) 102,393 44,976 1,313,743 US$ Paid benefits Required 2015 2014 reserve at March 31, 2015 Injury benefit US$ 49,089 44,976 47,033 Accrued employment – – 790,058 injury costs (note 12) 49,089 44,976 837,091 US$ The US$450,000 expense for medical care costs (note 12) which was recognised during FINANCIAL the year ended March 31, 2016 was not included in the Employment Injury Benefit STATEMENTS Reserve calculation as it had not been paid at March 31, 2016. At March 31, 2016 NIB management decided to include in the Employment Injury Benefits Reserve the accrued 2016 employment injury costs of US$1,240,058 (2015: US$790,058) as these were the expected amounts that would ultimately be paid from this reserve once the exact liability 89 had been determined. During the year ended March 31, 2016 US$476,652 was transferred from the Disablement and Death Benefit Reserve to the Employment Injury Benefit Reserve (2015: US$3,465,451 was transferred to the Disablement and Death Benefit Reserve from the Employment Injury Benefit Reserve) so as to maintain the required reserve for Employment Injury Benefit at March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015. There was no change to NIB’s management of capital during the years ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. NIB has complied with the above regulatory imposed capital requirements at the year-end. NIB is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. 58
FINANCIAL TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS NATIONAL INSURANCE BOARD STATEMENTS Notes to Financial Statements, continued 2016 Year ended March 31, 2016 22. Actuarial review Actuarial present value of promised retirement benefits NIB has elected to apply IAS 26 for retirement benefits which requires the actuarial present value of promised retirement benefits to be recognised on the statement of financial position, in the notes to the financial statements or in an accompanying actuarial report. NIB has chosen to disclose the actuarial present value of promised retirement benefits in the notes to these financial statements. The 8th actuarial review of NIB was conducted by Trinity Consulting Ltd. (the Actuary) at March 31, 2016 and a report issued on March 9, 2017 (the 7th actuarial review was conducted by the Actuary at March 31, 2013 and a report issued on June 25, 2014). NIB provides retirement and other benefits to qualifying beneficiaries. A summary of these benefits is disclosed at note 3(e)(iv) to these financial statements. NIB currently finances the Fund by considering expected cash inflows from contributors and cash outflows to beneficiaries over an extended period, alongside the assets that have accumulated to date from contributions exceeding benefit payments. The actuarial present value of promised retirement benefits has been calculated on an accrued benefits basis using a current salary approach. Under this methodology the actuarial present value of promised retirement benefits at March 31, 2016, the date of NIB’s latest actuarial review, was US$459 million (March 31, 2013: US$388 million). The next actuarial review is scheduled to be conducted as at March 31, 2019. The key assumptions and methods used in this calculation were as follows: Inflation – 2.3% per annum (2013: 2.5% per annum) Discount rate – 4.5% per annum (2013: 4.5% per annum) Average retirement age – 65 years old (2013: 63 years old) Other than in death, all active insured persons in 2015/16 are assumed to reach age 65 (2012/13: 63) and qualify for a retirement pension Mortality rate – The average life expectancy in 2016 is assumed to be as follows: i. A 65 year old current male beneficiary – 16.2 years (2013: 16.2 years) ii. A 65 year old current female beneficiary – 17.5 years (2013: 17.5 years) The calculation of the actuarial present value of promised retirement benefits is sensitive to the key assumptions and methods used. 90 59
TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS NATIONAL INSURANCE BOARD Notes to Financial Statements, continued Year ended March 31, 2016 22. Actuarial review, continued Actuarial present value of promised retirement benefits, continued The Fund had total reserves of US$191 million at March 31, 2016 (2013: US$153 million excluding provisions for long-term benefits, other than retirement benefits). At March 31, 2016 there was therefore a shortfall of US$268 million (2013: US$235 million) between the total reserves of the Fund of US$191 million (2013: US$153 million) and the actuarial present value of promised retirement benefits of US$459 million (2013: US$388 million (excluding provisions for long-term benefits, other than retirement benefits)). The Directors are examining ways in which this shortfall can be resolved. All key assumptions remained the same for the actuarial present value of promised retirement benefits calculations at March 31, 2016 and at March 31, 2013 with the exception of the inflation rate, which decrease from 2.5% to 2.3%, and the average retirement age, which increased from 63 to 65 years old. If the average retirement age assumption had remained the same the actuarial present value of promised retirement benefits at March 31, 2016 would have increased by US$71 million to US$530 million. If the discount rate had increased from 4.5% to 5% the actuarial present value of promised retirement benefits at March 31, 2016 would have decreased by US$44 million to US$415 million. The actuarial present value of promised retirement benefits at March 31, 2016 and 2013 can be classified as follows: Vested Unvested Total At March 31, 2016 US$ 80,500,000 378,500,000 459,000,000 At March 31, 2013 US$ 59,300,000 328,700,000 388,000,000 Vested benefits are benefits, the rights to which, under the conditions of National FINANCIAL Insurance (Benefit) Regulations, are not conditional on continued employment. STATEMENTS The conditions for the promised retirement benefits to become vested are as follows: 2016 a) An insured person other than a temporarily resident employed person has attained the age of sixty-five years; and b) has retired from insurable employment or shows to the satisfaction of NIB that the insured person is no longer substantially employed in insurable employment; and 60 91

For employment injuries NIB is liable for the period the insured person is incapacitated. 23. Contingent liabilities In the ordinary course of its activities NIB is a party to several legal actions. NIB is contingently liable for costs and damages in the event of any adverse finding by the TCI court (the Court) in relation to any of these legal actions. However, it is not possible to predict the decision of the Court or estimate the amount of such awards, if any. Accordingly, no provision has been made in these financial statements regarding these legal proceedings. Management is of the opinion that the resolution of these matters will not have a material impact on NIB’s financial statements. 24. Commitments Employment injury costs NIB is liable, per the Ordinance, for the cost of medical services provided in connection with employment injuries. NIB’s liabilities for medical costs relating to employment injuries for the period from its establishment to March 31, 2010 were settled as part of an Omnibus Agreement with TCIG. For the period from April 1, 2010 to March 31, 2016 NIB made an advance payment to NHIB of US$612,000 towards medical costs in connection with employment injuries in the year ended March 31, 2011 and recognised this payment as an expense in that year. 62 93
