The Board of Directors of Allianz EFU Health Insurance Limited is pleased to present the Nineteenth Annual Report together with the Audited Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2018. COMPANY PERFORMANCE Total Gross Premium for the year (including Takaful Contribution of Rs. 70 million) was Rs. 2,096 million (USD 15.10 million) compared to Rs 1,989 million (including Takaful Contribution of Rs. 42 million) (USD 14.32 million) last year, an increase of 5%. Of this Total Premium, Individual Health Business (including Takaful Contribution of Rs. 1 million) was Rs 27 million (USD 0.19 million), CLAIMS RATIO The overall Claims Ratio (including Experience Refund & Takaful claims) has increased from 76% (2017) to 80% (2018). On sequential basis, the Claim Ratio for 4th Quarter was 82.67% as compared to 76.47% in 3rd Quarter 2018, 74.51% in 2nd Quarter 2018 & 85.88% in 1st Quarter 2018. MANAGEMENT EXPENSES The Management expenses for the year (including Takaful Operator Fund Management expenses of Rs. 8 million) increased to Rs. 295 million (USD 2.12 million) from Rs. 286 million (USD 2.06 million) (including Takaful Operator Fund Management expenses of Rs. 8 million), an increase of 3%. INVESTMENT The total investment at fair value as on December 31, 2018 (including Takaful investment of Rs. 57 million) stood at Rs. 753 million (USD 5.42 million). In view of the applicability of the Insurance Rules, 2017 (the Rules) issued by Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan, the Company has recorded its investment at fair value. The unrealized loss as on December 31, 2018 (net of deferred tax) was Rs. 11.75 million (USD 0.08 million).

The investment income (including Takaful investment income of Rs. 3 million) was Rs. 24 million (USD 0.17 million) compared to Rs. 46 million (including Takaful investment income of Rs. 2 million) (USD 0.33 million) during last year. The drop in investment income is primarily due to capital loss of Rs. 29.5 million (USD 0.21 million) in equity investments. CREDIT RATING Our Company is rated by JCR-VIS and has been assigned a rating of A+ with stable outlook. SALES TAX ON HEALTH INSURANCE The external auditors of the Company, M/s. KPMG Taseer Hadi & Co., Chartered Accountants, Karachi, have issued a qualified opinion in their audit report in respect of the Company not recording a liability for sales tax on health insurance premium in the financial statements for the period July 01, 2016 to December 31, 2018.

The qualified opinion sates as follows: Basis for Qualified Opinion

As more fully explained in note 28.2.9 to the financial statements, sales tax liability of Rs. 329.5 million has not been recorded in the financial statements as of 31 December 2018. This amount has not been

Allianz EFU Health Insurance Limited Report of the Directors to Members For the Year Ended December 31, 2018 charged by the company to its customers since the matter of the renewal of exemption is under discussion with the sales tax authorities. IAS 37 ‘Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets’ requires that provision should be recognized when the entity has a present legal obligation as a result of past event. Accordingly, had the above liability been recorded, profit for the year and equity of the Company as of 31 December 2018 would have reduced by Rs. 136.5 million and Rs 329.5 million respectively, while the sales tax liability would had increased by Rs. 329.5 million. Order – Sindh Revenue Board Further, on 26 September 2018, SRB issued an order to the Company demanding SST of Rs. 325 million on account of failure to collect SST on health insurance business of the company for the period from July 2016 to September 2017 (which figure is higher than the above cumulative figure as this is based on certain approximations and also includes the policies written in the Punjab Province). Further penalty of Rs. 16.258 million was also imposed for default in the payment of due amount of SST. However the company has filed an appeal against the said order and has also obtained a stay order to restrain SRB from taking any coercive action. Current Status of Sales Tax on Health Insurance Company is of the view that the levy of sales tax on health insurance business is not fair and is unjust. The matter for the renewal of the exemption was taken up at the collective level by the Insurance Association of Pakistan (IAP) with the sales tax authorities. Further, the Sindh Cabinet in its meeting held on February 27, 2019 has also deferred the levy of taxes on Health and Life Insurance premium till the next financial year. The Company has also sought a legal opinion from the legal counsel and based on his opinion and, the Company has not billed sales tax on health insurance premium to its customers amounted to Rs. 329.5 million. Based on the IAP’s discussions with the sales tax authorities, the decision of the Sindh Cabinet and the legal opinion, we are hopeful that the exemption will be granted. Accordingly, the provision against sales tax liability has not made by the Company in these financial statements. FINANCIAL RESULT The Company made a pre-tax profit of Rs. 77 million (USD 0.55 million) as compared to Rs 122 million (USD 0.88 million) in 2017 and after tax profit of Rs 57 million (USD 0.41 million) as compared to Rs 84 million (USD 0.60 million) in 2017. This fall in profit for the years ended December 31, 2018 & December 31, 2017 compared to previous years is primarily attributable to the capital loss on sale of investments (explained above) and new investment in fixed income securities yielding lower returns. APPROPRIATION AND DIVIDEND The Board of Directors has recommended cash dividend of Rs. 1/- i.e. 10 % per share to the shareholders whose names appear in the register of the Company at the close of business on April 18, 2019. FUTURE OUTLOOK We will continue to focus on procuring/renewing businesses which can be managed profitably and shed those which we feel we cannot.
