3 Incorporated and listed in Euroland, with a reporting date of 31 December 2015. Euroland is a fictitious country within Europe. The functional currency of the parent and presentation currency of the Group is the euro. These illustrative financial statements have been produced in accordance with International financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for an insurance company that issues life and non-life insurance products (which comprise both general insurance and healthcare products) as well as some investment products. The Group also performs investment management services to holders of investment products that do not contain an insurance component. Objective This set of illustrative financial statements is one of many prepared by EY to assist you in preparing your own financial statements.

4 These illustrative financial statements are intended to reflect transactions, events and circumstances that we consider to be most common to the insurance industry. Certain disclosures are included in these financial statements merely for illustrative purposes, even though they may be regarded as items or transactions that are not material for the Group. How to use these illustrative financial statements to prepare entity-specific disclosures Users of this publication are encouraged to prepare entity-specific disclosures, for which these illustrative financial statements may serve as a useful reference. Transactions and arrangements other than those applicable to the Group may require additional disclosures. It should be noted that the illustrative financial statements of the Group are not designed to satisfy any stock market or country-specific regulatory requirements, nor is this publication intended to reflect disclosure requirements that apply mainly to regulated or specialised industries.

5 Notations shown in the right-hand margin of each page are references to IFRS paragraphs that describe the specific disclosure requirements. Commentaries are provided to explain the basis for the disclosure or to address alternative disclosures not included in the illustrative financial statements. For a more comprehensive list of disclosure requirements, please refer to EY's Online International GAAP Disclosure Checklist. If questions arise as to the IFRS requirements, it is essential to refer to the relevant source material and, where necessary, to seek appropriate professional advice. Improving disclosure effectiveness The terms disclosure overload and cutting the clutter describe an acute problem in financial reporting that has become a priority issue for the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB or Board), local standard setters, and regulatory bodies.

6 The growth and complexity of financial statements disclosure is also drawing significant attention from financial statement preparers, and most importantly, the users of financial statements. Even though there is no formal definition of disclosure overload , from the different discussions and debates among stakeholders, three common themes have appeared, namely: financial statements format or structure, tailoring and materiality. The intended purpose of Good Insurance (International) Limited - Illustrative consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 means that the ordering of the notes, to a great extent, follows the structure suggested in paragraph 114 of IAS 1 Presentation of financial Statements. An alternative structure that some may find more effective in permitting the users to identify the relevant information more easily, involves reorganising the notes according to their nature and perceived importance.

7 An illustrative ordering of the alternative structure that is based on seven different notes sections is as summarised in the table below: Sections For example, comprising: Corporate and Group information Corporate and Group information Basis of preparation and other significant accounting policies Basis of preparation Other significant accounting policies not covered in other sections (below) Changes in accounting policies and disclosures Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions Fair value measurement and related fair value disclosures Impact of standards issued but not yet effective Good Insurance (International) Limited EY | 4 Sections For example, comprising: Group business, operations, and management financial instruments risk management objectives and policies Hedge activities and derivatives Capital management Distributions made and proposed Segment information Basis of consolidation and Information on material partly-owned subsidiaries interest in joint ventures and investment in associates Significant transactions and events Business combinations and acquisitions of non-controlling interests Discontinued operations Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives Hedging activities and derivatives Correction of an error Related party disclosures Events after reporting period Detailed information on statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income

8 Items Premiums Benefits and claims Other operating income and expenses Investment income and costs Depreciation, amortisation, foreign exchange differences Breakdown of employee benefits and administrative expenses Components of other comprehensive income Earnings per share Detailed information on statement of financial position items Insurance balances Income tax Property, plant & equipment, investment properties and intangible assets financial assets and liabilities Trade and other receivables and payables Cash and short-term deposits Issued capital and reserves Provisions Government grants Deferred revenue Pensions and other post-employment benefits Share-based payments Commitments and contingencies Leases Other commitments Legal claim contingency Guarantees Other contingent liabilities By structuring the notes according to their nature and perceived importance, users may find it easier to extract the relevant information.

9 In addition, the significant accounting policies, judgements, key estimates and assumptions could alternatively be placed within the same note as the related qualitative and quantitative disclosures to provide a more holistic discussion to users of the financial statements. Entities may find that other structures are better for enhancing disclosure effectiveness; the approach summarised above is only intended to illustrate that IFRS allows for alternative notes structures. Entities should carefully assess their specific circumstances and the preferences of the primary users before deciding on notes structure. Engagement of key stakeholders will be a critical part of any process to make significant changes to the financial statements.

10 5 EY Good Insurance (International) Limited Applying the concept of materiality requires judgement, in particular, in relation to matters of presentation and disclosure, and may be another cause of the perceived disclosure overload problem. IFRS sets out the minimum disclosure requirements which, in practice, too often are complied with without consideration of the information s relevance for the specific entity. That is, if the transaction or item is immaterial to the entity, then it is not relevant to users of financial statements, in which case, IFRS does not require the item to be disclosed. If immaterial information is included in the financial statements, the amount of information may potentially reduce the transparency and usefulness of the financial statements as the material and, thus, relevant, information loses prominence.
