Net premiums written in personal lines operations for 2004 and 2003 include $359 million and $159 million, respectively, from the domestic insurance operations of GE that were acquired in August 2003. The increase in net premiums written apart from this acquisition resulted from increased marketing efforts as well as rate increases in several states. The underwriting profit in 2003 resulted from premium rate increases and growth in net premiums written and earned. Underwriting profits are expected to continue to improve in 2005 as a result of continued marketing efforts and loss cost stabilization.

However, there is a statistically low probability of 0.5 % that actual losses could exceed this threshold at Group level in the course of one year.

The overall increase in physician premiums reflects additional premiums from the PIC Wisconsin and NCRIC acquisitions offset by a decrease in premiums written in our organic book of business. The decline in physician premiums in our organic book of business is attributable to several factors. In 2006, our rate increases were not at a level that would offset the effects of lost business. Loss costs have moderated somewhat and, as a result, we have implemented smaller rate increases than in prior years and have held rates constant or lowered rates in some markets.

Under Statement 4, all gains and losses from extinguishment of debt were required to be aggregated, and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect. Statement 145 eliminates Statement 4 and as a result, gains and losses from extinguishment of debt should be classified as extraordinary items only if they meet certain criteria as outlined in Opinion 30. Applying the provisions of Opinion 30 will distinguish transactions that are part of an entity's recurring operations from those that are unusual or infrequent or that meet the criteria for classification as an extraordinary item. Statement 64 amended Statement 4 and is no longer necessary because Statement 4 has been rescinded. Statement 44 was issued to establish accounting requirements for the effects of transition to the provisions of the Motor Carrier Act of 1980. Those transitions are completed; therefore, Statement 44 is no longer necessary. Statement 145 also amends Statement 13 to require sale-leaseback accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. Statement 145 also makes various technical corrections to existing pronouncements, none of which are substantive in nature. Statement 145 is required for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002, with early application encouraged. The adoption of Statement 145 did not affect the Company's financial position or results of operations since the Company has had no transactions of the aforementioned kind, during the reporting period.

Foreign currency swaps are used by the Company to reduce the risk from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates associated with its assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. In a foreign currency swap transaction, the Company agrees with another party to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between one currency and another at a forward exchange rate calculated by reference to an agreed upon principal amount. The principal amount of each currency is exchanged at the inception and termination of the currency swap by each party. The Company also uses foreign currency swaps to hedge the foreign currency risk associated with certain of its net investments in foreign operations.

Management has determined that the appropriate level of disaggregation for the incurred and paid claims development information best falls into six categories within its two operating segments. This level of disaggregation is consistent with the Company's historical disclosure levels and provides groupings of the Company's insurance and reinsurance businesses of a credible size and with similar claim development characteristics, particularly payment patterns. It should be noted that when estimating IBNR reserves, the Company's Insurance and Reinsurance segments segregate business into exposure classes and a large number of classes are reviewed in total based on coverage, region and policy and loss emergence characteristics. Furthermore, large losses and catastrophe events are evaluated separately.

example, for hurricanes and other severe wind storms, complications often include the inability of insureds to promptly report losses, delays in the ability of claims adjusting staff to inspect losses, difficulties in determining whether losses are covered by our homeowners policy (generally for damage caused by wind or wind driven rain) or are specifically excluded from coverage caused by flood, and challenges in estimating additional living expenses, assessing the impact of demand surge, exposure to mold damage, and the effects of numerous other considerations. Another example is the complication of estimating the cost of business interruption coverage on commercial lines policies. Estimates for catastrophes which occur at or near the end of a financial reporting period may be even less reliable since we will have less claims data available and little time to complete our estimation process. In such situations, we may adapt our practices to accommodate the circumstances.

While a resolution of these matters may significantly impact consolidated earnings and the Companys consolidated financial position, it remains managements opinion, based on information presently available, that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position.

Our IIF increased 7.6% in 2018 and we expect our IIF to increase in 2019. Our book of IIF is the main driver of our revenues and earnings, and its growth is driven by our ability to generate NIW and retain existing policies in force, as measured by our persistency. Interest rates influence both our NIW and persistency. In a rising rate environment, total mortgage originations may decline, however, we would also expect policy cancellation rates to decline, and in turn increase persistency, although the impact generally lags the change in interest rates.

The valuation of goodwill and intangible assets at acquisition requires assumptions regarding estimated discounted cash flows and market analyses. These assumptions contain uncertainties because they require management to use judgment in selecting the assumptions and applying the market analyses to the individual acquisitions. Additionally, impairment evaluations require management to use judgment to determine if impairment of goodwill and intangible assets is apparent. We have applied a consistent methodology in both the original valuation and subsequent impairment evaluations for all goodwill and intangible assets. We do not anticipate any changes to that methodology, nor has any impairment loss resulted from our analyses for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Based on our analysis, we have concluded that a significant margin of fair value in excess of the carrying value of goodwill and other intangibles exists as of December 31, 2011. If the assumptions used to evaluate the value of goodwill and intangible assets change in the future, an impairment loss may be recorded and it could be material to our results of operations in the period in which the impairment loss occurs.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326). This update replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology for recognizing credit losses on financial instruments with a methodology that reflects an entity's current estimate of all expected credit losses. This update requires financial assets (including receivables and reinsurance recoverables) measured at amortized cost to be presented net of an allowance for credit losses. Additionally, this update requires credit losses on available-for-sale fixed maturity securities to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down, allowing an entity to also record reversals of credit losses in current period net income. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Additionally, in December 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. This update provides clarification on the effective and transition dates and the exclusion of operating lease receivables from Topic 326. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief. This update adds optional transition relief for entities to elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis to increase comparability of similar financial assets. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses which provides clarification on certain aspects of the guidance in ASC 326 including purchased credit-deteriorated (PCD) financial assets, transition relief for troubled debt restructurings, disclosure relief for accrued interest receivables and allows a practical expedient for financial assets secured by collateral maintenance provisions. Upon adoption of this ASU, the Company will use the Ratings Based Method based on the A.M. Best Average Cumulative Net Impairment Rates in developing the expected credit allowance on reinsurance recoverables. The Company estimates the total impact to allowances for credit losses on all financial instruments, including premiums receivable, reinsurance recoverables, and investments will be immaterial to its consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

The breakdown of the Group’s Life & Savings technical insurance reserves by product type was as follows: ■ 20% at the end of 2017 (19% at the end of 2016) of the Group’s Life & Savings technical reserves cover separate-account (Unit-Linked) products that do not materially aff ect AXA’s risk exposure. On these products, the underlying financial market performance is mostly passed on to the policyholders. This category also includes products that may provide a standalone guarantee on invested capital in the event of death. Overall, they present only a limited market risk for the Group through reduction of shareholders’ value; ■ 12% at the end of 2017 (12% at the end of 2016) of the Group’s Life & Savings technical reserves cover separate-account products with related interest-rate or equity guarantees provided by the insurance companies, called Variable Annuities.

The liability for losses and LAE decreased $28.4 million to $663.5 million as of December 31, 2005 from $635.1 million as of December 31, 2004. The decrease is primarily attributable to reductions in loss and LAE reserves on former fronting programs of approximately $13.0 million, all of which have been terminated and placed into run-off. Partially offsetting the decrease was growth in our core MPL insurance business. For additional information on our accounting policy for loss and LAE reserves, see the discussion under Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates and the discussion included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 6, Liability for Losses and LAE.

We determine the discount rates used to value the Company’s pension and postretirement obligations, based upon rates commensurate with current yields on high quality corporate bonds. Given our pension and postretirement obligations as of December 31, 2018, the beginning of the measurement year, if we had assumed a discount rate for both our pension and postretirement benefit plans that was 100 basis points higher or 100 basis points lower than the rates we assumed, the change in our net periodic benefit costs would have been a decrease of $97 million and an increase of $94 million, respectively, in 2019. This considers only changes in our assumed discount rates without consideration of possible changes in any of the other assumptions described above that could ultimately accompany any changes in our assumed discount rate. The assumptions used may differ materially from actual results due to, among other factors, changing market and economic conditions and changes in participant demographics. These differences may have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and liquidity.

CONTRACT BENEFITS decreased 4.6% or $8.7 million in 2007 compared to 2006 due to lower sales of immediate annuities with life contingencies and the absence in 2007 of contract benefits on the reinsured variable annuity business, partially offset by an increase in the implied interest on immediate annuities with life contingencies. This implied interest totaled $107.5 million and $103.9 million in 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Other Underwriting-Related Fee Income. Certain assumed reinsurance contracts are deemed, for financial reporting purposes, not to transfer insurance risk, and are accounted for using the deposit method of accounting. For those contracts that contain an element of underwriting risk, the estimated profit margin is deferred and amortized over the contract period. When the estimated profit margin is explicit, the margin is reflected as fee income. We recorded $5.6 million of fee income on such contracts for the year ended December 31, 2003.
