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. The fair value of investment in private equity funds is determined using FINANCIAL unadjusted net asset value (level 2 valuation). The unadjusted net asset value STATEMENTS is used when the units in a fund are redeemable at the reportable net asset value at, or approximately at, the measurement date. 2020 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 at FVOCI are listed on US and non-US stock exchanges. For such investments, a twenty percent increase in value at the reporting date would have decreased other comprehensive loss in the statement of income, expenses and reserves by US$41,668,782 (2019: US$43,205,564) and an equal change in the opposite direction would have increased other comprehensive loss in the statement of income, expenses and reserves by US$41,668,782 (2019: US$43,205,564). 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 any expected payment, discounted using a risk- adjusted discount rate. 56 99

TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS NATIONAL INSURANCE BOARD Notes to Financial Statements, continued Year ended March 31, 2020 21. Financial instruments, continued (c) Market risk, continued (iii) Fair value, continued 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 provision on the gross, non-secured, non- equity, balance would have increased the change in fair value and net income in the statement of income, expenses and reserves for the year by US$1.75 million (2019: US$1.75 million). 22. Capital management Under the Regulations NIB is required to maintain the three following reserves on the following basis: (a) The minimum level of the Long-Term Benefit Reserve shall be equivalent to the expenditure for benefits under the Long-Term Benefit Branch during the three previous financial years. (b) The minimum level of the Short-term Benefit Reserve shall be equivalent to one- fourth of the expenditure for benefits under the Short-Term Benefit Branch during the two previous financial years. (c) An Employment Injury Benefit Reserve shall be constituted to finance injury benefit, disablement grant, death grant and medical care by transferring thereto annually as much of the excess of income over expenses of the Employment Injury Benefit Branch as is needed to maintain the level of the Employment Injury Benefit Reserve at one-half of the amount paid for the said benefits in the two previous financial years. The Disablement and Death Benefit Reserves has no such minimum requirement. The Employment Injury Benefit Reserve at March 31, 2020 and 2019 was determined as follows: FINANCIAL Paid benefits Required STATEMENTS 2020 2019 reserve at March 31, 2020 2020 Injury benefit US$ 247,854 383,258 315,556 Death grant 2,390 – 1,195 US$ 250,244 383,258 316,751 Paid benefits Required 2019 2018 reserve at March 31, 2019 Injury benefit US$ 383,258 328,245 Death grant – 2,390 355,752 – 1,195 Accrued employment injury costs (note 13) – 330,635 216,791 US$ 383,258 573,738 100 57

TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS NATIONAL INSURANCE BOARD Notes to Financial Statements, continued Year ended March 31, 2020 22. Capital management, continued At March 31, 2019 NIB management decided to include in the Employment Injury Benefits Reserve the accrued employment injury costs of US$216,791 as these were the expected amounts that would ultimately be paid from this reserve. At March 31, 2020 accrued employment injury costs was fully settled by NIB with NHIB. In August 2019 and March 2020, NIB made payments to NHIB of US$58,000 and US$66,000 towards medical costs in connection with employment injuries during the year ended March 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively. The remaining accrued employment injury costs of US$92,791 were reversed during the year ended March 31, 2020. During the year ended March 31, 2020 US$256,987 was transferred to the Disablement and Death Benefit Reserve from the Employment Injury Benefit Reserve (2019: US$389,639) so as to maintain the required reserve for Employment Injury Benefit at March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019. There was no change to NIB’s management of capital during the years ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. NIB has complied with the above regulatory imposed capital requirements at the year-end. NIB is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. 23. Actuarial review Actuarial present value of promised retirement benefits FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 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 2020 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 9th actuarial review of NIB was conducted by Trinity Consulting Ltd. (the Actuary) at March 31, 2019 and a report issued on July 25, 2019 (the 8th actuarial review of NIB was conducted by the Actuary at March 31, 2016 and a report issued on March 9, 2017). 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 reserves (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, 2019, the date of NIB’s latest actuarial review, was US$636 million (March 31, 2016: US$459 million). The next actuarial review is scheduled to be conducted as at March 31, 2022. 58 101

TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS NATIONAL INSURANCE BOARD Notes to Financial Statements, continued Year ended March 31, 2020 23. Actuarial review, continued Actuarial present value of promised retirement benefits, continued The key assumptions and methods used in this calculation were as follows:  Inflation – 2.1% per annum (2016: 2.3% per annum)  Discount rate – 4.5% per annum (2016: 4.5% per annum)  Average retirement age – 65 years old (2016: 65 years old)  Other than in death, all active insured persons at March 31, 2019 are assumed to reach age 65 (2016: age 65) and qualify for a retirement pension  Mortality rate – United Nations rates for Latin America with adjustments for the TCI experience (2016: United Nations rates for Latin America with adjustments for the TCI experience). The calculation of the actuarial present value of promised retirement benefits is sensitive to the key assumptions and methods used. The Fund had total reserves of US$282 million at March 31, 2019 (2016: US$191 million). At March 31, 2019 there was therefore a shortfall of US$354 million (2016: US$268 million) between the total reserves of the Fund of US$282 million (2016: US$191 million) and the actuarial present value of promised retirement benefits of US$636 million (2016: US$459 million. The Directors are considering ways in which this shortfall can be addressed. FINANCIAL All key assumptions remained the same for the actuarial present value of promised STATEMENTS retirement benefits calculations at March 31, 2019 and at March 31, 2016 with the exception of the inflation rate, which decrease from 2.3% to 2.1%. 2020 There would be no significant impact on the actuarial present value of promised retirement benefits at March 31, 2019 if the inflation rate assumption had remained the same. If the discount rate had increased from 4.5% to 5% the actuarial present value of promised retirement benefits at March 31, 2019 would have decreased by US$61 million to US$575 million. The actuarial present value of promised retirement benefits at March 31, 2019 and 2016 can be classified as follows: Vested Unvested Total At March 31, 2019 US$ 122,300,000 513,400,000 635,700,000 At March 31, 2016 US$ 80,500,000 378,500,000 459,000,000 Vested benefits are benefits, the rights to which, under the conditions of National Insurance (Benefit) Regulations, are not conditional on continued employment. 102 59

Subsequent events (a) COVID-19 outbreak On March 11, 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization causing significant disruption in global and local economies.
