75 Years: Reaching this


milestone is a significant
accomplishment in the
life of any organization. It demonstrates the
strong culture and vision of EFU together with
the exceptional capabilities of the EFU
employees. And it brings home the fact that
we have a 75 year history of commitment to
customers, partners, employees and the
communities in which we operate. However,
the real importance of the occasion is not in
celebrating the past. Instead, we enter our 75th
year energized for the future as even a better
trustee, a better employer, a better partner and
a better citizen. The knowledge, experience, and
strength that we have built up over 75 years is
invaluable, and we will continue growing and
expanding, as always in the
spirit of caring and sharing.

the highest for any life insurance company in Pakistan.
Your Company intends to continue its focus on
increasing the size of its sales force and open more
branches to further increase its market penetration.
The strength of its dedicated sales force combined
with developments made in the bancassurance
distribution channel will enable EFU Life to garner
greater volumes of business during 2007 and beyond.
We strive to deliver better value to customers by
designing competitive products, providing our clients
excellent service, using innovative technology and
controlling costs. All these measures have borne fruit
and this is indicated in the growth of our renewal
premium and sound business persistency.
For Group Benefits business, EFU Lifes strategy of
targeting traditional employer-employee groups
and diversifying into bank-customers groups has
resulted in a growth of 31% with gross premium
income of Rs 927 million in 2006 (2005: Rs 708
million). The profitability of this line of business
indicates EFU Lifes sound pricing and underwriting
methodology in a competitive market.
The policyholders' fund (statutory funds) of the
Company stood at Rs. 6.07 billion at the end of
2006 compared to Rs. 4.8 billion (Restated) at the end
of 2005.
During the year 2006 the Company incurred death
and disability claims of Rs. 503 million with individual
and group life claims amounting to Rs. 113 million
and Rs. 390 million, respectively.
As mentioned earlier, EFU Life as part of its strategy
makes extensive use of technology to gain competitive
advantage and provide better value to all its
stakeholders. In 2006, EFU Life became the first life
insurance company in Pakistan to launch a toll-free
call center. This call center uses state of the art
technology to provide clients ready access to their
policies information and EFU Lifes client servicing
staff. A mobile phone application software was
developed in-house and launched in 2006 for the
sales force which enables them access to vital business
information through their mobile phones by means
of an automated short messaging service and GPRS
facilities. This facility is in addition to the internetbased connectivity to EFU Lifes policy servicing system

which is provided to all branches and bancassurance


partners. EFU Life also initiated discussions on acquiring
a client relationship management system for its sales
force to be provided on their computer laptops.
Improvements were also made in other policy
administration processes to reduce turnaround times
and provide better service to clients while also achieving
cost efficiencies.
Focusing on the needs of its clients, EFU Life continued
to design and launch new products during the year.
One of the major product launches during 2006 was
a flexible unit-linked whole of life product branded
Prosperity for Life which is targeted towards meeting
the evolving financial needs of a family, be it financial
protection on premature death, childrens education
or marriage, retirement income, or saving for any
other future financial objective.
Building on our past successes and optimizing our
internal strengths, we intend to fully exploit the
tremendous opportunities that lie in Pakistans life
insurance sector. Considering that Pakistan has one
of the lowest life insurance penetrations in the world,
we feel there is a huge market that remains to be
tapped. The growth in Pakistans economy and the
demographic structure of its population are also fuelling
demand for life insurance products. Meeting this

and breadth of our distribution. We are focused on
this and are continuously putting in place measures
to increase the size and productivity of our direct sales
force and at the same time forging bancassurance
partnerships.
Your Companys Auditors in their report have
commented that International Accounting Standards
require valuation of investments in an associated
company using the equity method. These investments
have been accounted for in our financial statements
using market value in case of investment-linked
business, and lower of cost or market value in case
of other businesses. Your company has followed this
practice for the following reasons: for unit-linked
business these investments have been accounted for
at market values to bring the basis of valuation for
financial reporting in line with basis of valuation of
units; for other businesses the valuation basis adopted
reflects the specialized nature of taxability of profit of
insurance companies.

Review Report to the Members on Statement of Compliance


with Best Practices of Code of Corporate Governance

We have reviewed the Statement of Compliance with the best practices contained in the Code of Corporate Governance
prepared by the Board of Directors of EFU Life Assurance Limited (the Company) to comply with the listing regulation
No. 37 of the Karachi Stock Exchange and Code of Corporate Governance applicable to listed insurance companies,
issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan.
The responsibility for compliance with the Code of Corporate Governance is that of the Board of Directors of the
Company. Our responsibility is to review, to the extent where such compliance can be objectively verified, whether the
Statement of Compliance reflects the status of the Companys compliance with the provisions of the Code of Corporate
Governance and report if it does not. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of the Companys personnel and review
of various documents prepared by the Company to comply with the Code.
As part of our audit of financial statements we are required to obtain an understanding of the accounting and internal
control systems sufficient to plan the audit and develop an effective audit approach. We have not carried out any special
review of the internal control system to enable us to express an opinion as to whether the Boards statement on internal
control covers all controls and the effectiveness of such internal controls.
Based on our review nothing has come to our attention, which causes us to believe that the Statement of Compliance
does not appropriately reflect the Companys compliance, in all material respects, with the best practices contained in
the Code of Corporate Governance.

Auditors Report to the Members

We have audited the annexed financial statements comprising:

(v)
(vi)
(vii)
(viii)
(ix)

balance sheet;
profit and loss account;
statement of changes in equity;
cash flow statement;
revenue account;
statement of premiums;
statement of claims;
statement of expenses; and
statement of investment income

of EFU Life Assurance Limited (the Company) as at 31 December 2006 together with the notes forming part thereof, for the year then
ended.
It is the responsibility of the Companys Board of Directors to establish and maintain a system of internal control, and prepare and present
the financial statements in conformity with the Approved Accounting Standards as applicable in Pakistan and the requirements of the
Insurance Ordinance, 2000 (XXXIX of 2000) and the Companies Ordinance, 1984 (XLVII of 1984). Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Auditing Standards as applicable in Pakistan. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting policies used and significant estimates made by management, as well as, evaluating the overall financial statements
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As more fully explained in note 4.3 to the financial statements, the Companys investments in an associated company have been accounted
for using market value in case of unit linked business and lower of cost or market value in case of other businesses. International Accounting
Standards require that such investments be valued using equity method. Had the equity method been used for valuation, the value of
investments and policyholders liabilities as at 31 December 2006 would been lower by Rs 16.2 million (2005: higher by Rs 22.9 million)
and Rs 40.4 million (2005: higher by 7.5 million) respectively and profit for the year would have been higher by Rs. 8.688 million.

In our opinion:
a)

proper books of account have been kept by the Company as required by the Insurance Ordinance, 2000 and the Companies
Ordinance, 1984;

b)

except for the effect of the matter relating to accounting for investment in associates referred to above, the financial statements
together with the notes thereon have been drawn up in conformity with the Insurance Ordinance, 2000 and the Companies
Ordinance, 1984, and accurately reflect the books and records of the Company and are further in accordance with accounting
policies consistently applied except for change specified in note 4.2 to the financial statements with which we concur;

c)

except for the effect of the matter relating to accounting for investment in associates referred to above, the financial statements
together with the notes thereon present fairly, in all material respects, the state of the Companys affairs as at 31 December 2006
and of the profit, its cash flows and changes in equity for the year then ended in accordance with Approved Accounting Standards
as applicable in Pakistan, and give the information required to be disclosed by the Insurance Ordinance, 2000 and the Companies
Ordinance, 1984;

d)

the apportionment of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses between two or more funds has been performed in accordance with
the advice of the appointed actuary; and

e)

Zakat deductible at source under the Zakat and Ushr Ordinance, 1980 (XVIII of 1980), was deducted by the Company and deposited
in the Central Zakat Fund established under Section 7 of that Ordinance.

4.

Summary of significant accounting policies


The significant accounting policies adopted in preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These
policies have been applied consistently to all years presented except for a change in policy relating to policyholders
liabilities as noted in 4.2 below.

4.1

Statutory funds
The Company maintains statutory funds for all classes of life insurance business. Assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses are recorded in respective funds, if referable or, on the basis of actuarial advice if not referable. Other
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses are allocated to shareholders' fund. Policyholders' liabilities have been
included in statutory funds on the basis of the actuarial valuation carried out by the appointed actuary of the
Company on the balance sheet date as required by Section 50 of the Insurance Ordinance, 2000.

4.2

Policyholders liabilities
Policyholders liabilities are stated at a value determined by the appointed actuary through an actuarial valuation
carried out as at each balance sheet date. In determining the value both acquired policy values (which forms the
bulk of policyholders liabilities) as well as estimated values which will be payable against risks which the Company
underwrites. The bases used are applied consistently from year to year except as stated hereunder.
The basic liability consists of the estimated actuarial liability against each contract which is in force. To this are
added:
a) The cash value of policies which have lapsed over the last two years and where the liability would be reinstated
in case of the policy being revived; and
b) A reserve for catastrophic losses in excess of those provided for on a policy by policy basis.
At 31 December 2005 the policyholders liabilities included an element of reserve for a potential solvency margin
which has been removed from these financial statements.
The provision for solvency margin had been provided on the understanding that the Securities and Exchange
Commission of Pakistan (SECP) would imminently introduce a solvency margin based on a similar basis as used
in the European Union. The SECP has, however, set up a committee to formulate a suitable basis for provision of
a solvency margin, which indicates that the use of similar basis as used by European Union is not as certain as it
had been in previous years. As a result the appointed actuary no longer considers this provision as necessary. The
effect of this change has been incorporated retrospectively in these financial statements as disclosed in note 7
to the financial statements.

4.3

Investments
Investments which are intended to be held for an undefined period of time but may be sold in response to the
need for liquidity or changes in interest rate are classified as available for sale. Investments acquired principally
for the purpose of generating a profit from short-term fluctuation in price are classified as held for trading.
Investments, with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity, where the Company has positive intent and
ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity.
All investments are initially recognised at fair value, including the transaction costs except held for trading investments
which are recognised at fair value.
Investments classified as held-to-maturity are subsequently measured at amortised cost, taking into account any
discount or premium on acquisition, using the effective interest rate method. Available for sale investments relating
to the units assigned to policies of investment linked business and pension business and held for trading investments
are subsequently measured at their fair values and the difference taken to respective revenue accounts. Other

EFU LIFE ASSURANCE LTD

Annual Report 2006

available for sale investments are subsequently measured at lower of cost (determined on moving weighted average
basis) or market value on an aggregate portfolio basis.
International Accounting Standard IAS39 Financial Instruments Recognition and Measurement has been
revised effective from 1 January 2005. In the revised IAS 39 the option of taking the revaluation gain / loss on
available for sale securities to income / revenue account has been deleted and all such gain / loss is to be taken
to equity. Furthermore, a new category has been added financial assets at fair value through profit and loss.
The Company considers that credit / debit to revenue account for unit linked and pension business is required to
reflect policyholders liabilities at their fair value.
Available for sale investments include investments in an associated company, EFU General Insurance Limited carried
at Rs.192 million. These are being valued either at lower of cost or market value or fair value (for Unit Linked
Business). International Accounting Standard IAS 28 (revised) Investments in Associates effective for financial
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2005 requires that an investment in associate shall be accounted for using
the equity method. The Company considers that accounting for these investments at a value above cost for business
other than unit linked business would result in complications similar to those related to adoption of International
Accounting Standard IAS 39 Financial Instruments Recognition and Measurement. Had the equity method
been used for valuation, the value of investments and policy holders liabilities as at 31 December 2006
would have been lower by Rs. 16.2 million (2005: higher by Rs. 22.9 million) and Rs. 40.4 million (2005: higher
by Rs. 7.5 million) respectively and profit for the year ended 31 December 2006 would have been higher by
Rs. 8.6 million.
4.4

Revenue recognition
First year individual life premiums are recognized once the related policies have been issued and the premiums
received. Renewal premiums are recognized upon receipt provided the policy is still in force. Single premiums are
recognised once the related policies are issued against the receipts of premium.
Group life premiums are recognized when due. A provision for unearned premiums is included in the policyholders
liabilities.
Reinsurance expense is recognized as a liability in accordance with the pattern of recognition of related premium.
Interest income on bank deposits and fixed income securities is recorded on a time proportion basis using effective
interest rate method.
Dividend income is recognized when right to receive such dividend is established.

4.5

Claims
A liability for outstanding claims is recognized in respect of all claims incurred up to the balance sheet date. Claims
where intimation of the event giving rise to the claim is received or in respect of investment linked business when
the policy ceases to participate in the earnings of the statutory fund are reported as claims in the revenue account.
The liability for claims incurred but not reported at the year end is determined by the Appointed Actuary and are
included in the policyholders liabilities. Experience refund of premium calculated by appointed actuary is included
in outstanding claims. Experience refund of premium receivable from reinsurers is included in the reinsurance
recoveries of claim.
Claim recoveries receivable from the reinsurers are recognized at the same time as the claim which give rise to
the right of recovery and are measured at the amount expected to be recovered.

4.6

Acquisition costs
Directly referable commission and other expenses are recognized as cost when the related policies are issued or
renewed. Branch overheads and other acquisition costs are recognized when these are incurred.

4.7

Employees' retirement benefits


The Company operates two defined contribution retirement benefit plans, i.e. an approved funded provident fund
scheme for all permanent employees and an approved funded pension scheme for eligible officers. Monthly
contributions to these funds are made in accordance with their rules. Contributions made to these funds are
recognized as an expense.

of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using the enacted or substantively enacted rates of taxation.

7.1 The SECP issued a circular during the year which clarified the interpretation of section 32(2)(g) of the Insurance Ordinance 2000, as a result
of which certain related party investments held in the Investment Linked Statutory Fund of the Company may be treated as inadmissible.
Although the applicability of this for unit linked policies is not yet clear, in accordance with the advice of its appointed actuary, the Company
has retained an amount of Rs. 231.431 million within the Investment Linked Statutory Fund in order to be prudent.
No deferred tax liability has been recognised on the undistributed surplus in view of the fact that surplus has been retained to meet solvency
requirement and is not expected to be available for distribution to shareholders in the foreseeable future.

8.

Taxation

8.1 The income tax returns for the Tax year 2004, 2005 and 2006 have been filed on self assessment basis. Appeals relating to the assessment
years 1994-1995 to 1998-1999 are pending before the High Court of Sindh regarding levy of Turnover Tax. Appeals in respect of assessment
years 1999-2000 and 2000-2001 are pending with the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) and there could arise a potential tax liability
of Rs.1.3 million if the matter is decided against the Company. No provision has been made for the liability as the Company is confident
of a favorable outcome in appeal.

20.4 Market risk


Market risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices,
whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual security, or its issuer, or factors affecting all
securities traded in the market.
The Company is exposed to market risk with respect to its investments.
The Company limits market risk by maintaining a diversified portfolio and by continuously monitoring developments
in government securities, equity and term finance certificates (TFCs) markets. In addition, the Company actively monitors
the key factors that affect the value of these securities.
20.5 Credit Risk and Concentration of Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk, which arises with the possibility that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge its
obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss.
Concentration of credit risk arises when a number of counterparties have a similar type of business activities. As a
result, any change in economic, political or other conditions would effect their ability to meet contractual obligations.
The Company is exposed to credit risk on premiums receivable from group clients, commission and claims recoverable
from insurers and investment in term finance certificates. The management monitors exposure to credit risk through
regular review of credit exposure, assessing credit worthiness of counter parties and prudent estimates of provision
for doubtful debts.
Due to the nature of financial assets, the Company believes it is not exposed to any major concentration of credit risk.
20.6 Reinsurance Risk
Reinsurance ceded do not relieve the Company from its obligations to policyholders and as a result the company
remains liable for the portion of outstanding claims reinsured to the extent that reinsurer fails to meet the obligations
under the reinsurance agreements.
In order to minimize the financial exposure arising from large claims the Company obtains reinsurance cover only from
companies with sound financial health.
20.7 Fair value
The fair values of all major financial assets are estimated to be not significantly different from their carrying values
except for the following:
