Significant Assumptions and Risks Arising from Insurance Contracts: Credit Life and

Warranty Products

Th e sa le of credit life and ex tended warr anty products in the motor segme nt is co nducted through

ce ll captive arr angements. The principle risk that the group faces und er the se insurance contracts is

that the actu al claims and benefit paym ents exceed the carrying amounts of the insurance liabilities.

Thi s could occur because the frequency or se verity of claims and ben efits are grea ter than estimated.

Insuranc e events are rand om and the actual number and amounts of claims and benefits will vary from

yea r to yea r from the est imate determined using statistica l techn iques.

Th e key financ ial risk is that the proceed s from financial assets are not suffic ient to fund the obli–

ga tions ar ising from insurance co ntrac ts and incl udes cre dit risk, interes t rate risk , currency risk, and

liquidity risk . All risks are managed on behalf of the gro up by an outside insu ranc e company .

Th e risks are spre ad over a large variety of clients in the South African mark et.

The terms and conditions that have a materi al effect on the amount, timing, and uncertainty of

future cas h flows arisi ng from these co ntracts are set out be low .
