The Company views the application of good corporate governance practices as fundamentally key to achieving a healthy and sustainable
return on investment for its shareholders while fulfilling its social mandate to improve the quality of life for all stakeholders. The Directors
therefore remain committed to maintaining the highest standards of good corporate governance in all jurisdictions the Company operates
in for the benefit of all stakeholders.
The Company has adopted the Capital Markets Authority Code of Corporate Governance Practices for Issuers of Securities to the Public,
2015 (“Code”). The Code sets out the principles and makes specific recommendations on structures and processes which companies should
implement in making good corporate governance an integral part of their business dealings and culture. In keeping with the Code, a
governance audit for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 was undertaken by an independent accredited governance auditor to
assess the level of application of good governance practices in the Company. The reporting template for disclosing the extent to which the
Company has implemented the Code is available on the Company’s website www.jubileeinsurance.com. This is the second year of reporting
on the Code and the Board is happy to note that the Company has made progressive steps towards full application of the Code and this
forms part of the efforts to constantly improve governance practices.
Based on the overall performance of the Company, the Governance Auditor’s opinion is that the Board has established, implemented and
overseen an effective governance framework structure and the control environment is consistent with the legal and regulatory requirements,
internal policies and good governance practices in the interest of shareholders and stakeholders.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Company is led by an effective Board that provides strategic direction, oversight over management and ensures that Management is
creating value for all stakeholders.
The Board currently comprises of nine (9) Directors all of whom are non-executive. Four (4) out of the nine (9) Directors are independent.
In determining the independence status of the Directors, the Company has applied the criteria set out in the Code. The Board, through the
Nominating and Human Resources Committee, carries out an annual assessment on each Director’s independence status to ensure that
the Board maintains a healthy ratio of independent Directors which at the very least should meet the minimum requirement prescribed by
the Code - one third. All the independent Directors have served for a tenure less than 9 years. Each Director’s profile is given on page 16
of this Annual Report and highlights, amongst others, the Directors’ qualifications, age, their independence status and other key board
memberships. Notwithstanding a Director’s non-executive and/or independence status on the Board, all Directors recognize that they are
collectively responsible to the shareholders and stakeholders for the viable long-term sustainability of the Company. Whilst the Articles of
Association allow for the appointment of alternate directors on the Board there are currently no alternate or shadow directors on the Board.
All appointments to and resignations from the Board are carried out in accordance with the Articles of Associations and are disclosed to the
shareholders and to the public as prescribed by the Capital Markets Authority regulations and the Code. On 5th July 2018, Mr. Moez Jamal
resigned as a Director due to increased professional commitments and a public announcement was issued. On the same day, the Board upon
the recommendation of the Board Nominating and Human Resource Committee (BNHRC) appointed Mr. Ashif Kassam as a non-executive
independent Director and issued a public announcement on the same. In accordance with the Articles of Association, Mr. Ashif Kassam
retires at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting and being eligible offers himself for re-election by shareholders.
Also, in accordance with the Articles of Association, at least one third of the Directors retire by rotation at each Annual General Meeting
and are eligible to seek re-election. In determining the Directors retiring by rotation, consideration is given to those who have been in office
longest since their last election. The Directors retiring by rotation are listed in the Notice of the AGM on page 8.
Newly appointed Directors undergo a comprehensive, formal and tailor made induction programme to ensure their effective contribution on
the Board and committees. The induction amongst others, covers the nature of the Group’s business, Group organizational structure, Board
and Committee mandates, financial performance review over the previous financial periods as well as the role, duties and responsibilities
expected of the Directors. The Directors receive an induction pack which comprises the Memorandum and Articles of Association, Board
Charter and Directors’ Code of Ethics, Committees Terms of Reference and minutes from previous Board meetings. The induction process is
coordinated by the Chairman, the Group Chief Executive Officer and the Group Company Secretary.
Board Charter
The Board has put in place a Board Charter that defines the governance parameters within which the Board exists and sets out specific
responsibilities to be discharged by the Board and Directors collectively, as well as certain roles and duties incumbent upon Directors as
individuals.
Each Director is called upon to subscribe to the Charter and in doing so, acknowledges the Company’s values and commits to upholding
them. The Charter was last reviewed in March 2019 is available on the Company’s website at www.jubileeinsurance.com.
The Board’s primary responsibility is that of fostering the long-term business of the Company consistent with its fiduciary responsibility to
the shareholders. The responsibilities of the Board are articulated in the Board Charter while the conduct of Board members is governed
by the Directors’ Code of Ethics and Conduct. Both documents are available on the Company’s website, www.jubileeinsurance.com. The
responsibilities imposed by these documents are in addition to those imposed by legislation and regulations applicable to the Company.
During the year under review the Board met four (4) times to monitor business performance against the business plan and budget. In the year
under review, the Directors held a strategy retreat which was attended by all Group directors to agree the Group strategy in 2019 going
forward as well as the 2019 budgets. The record of attendance at the Board meetings is set out below:
Senior management including the Group Chief Executive Officer, the Group Finance Officer and any other officers as may be required,
attend Board Meetings by invitation to ensure informed decision-making by the Board of Directors. The Company Secretary attends all the
meetings of the Board to primarily advise on legal regulatory and governance issues and ensure accurate documentation of Board decisions.
In addition, the Board invites independent professionals to attend meetings and provide advice as may be necessary.
SEPARATION OF THE ROLE OF THE CHAIRMAN AND GROUP CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
The Board Charter stipulates a clear separation of the role and responsibilities of the Chairman and the Group Chief Executive Officer
(GCEO). The Chairman is an non-executive Director and his primary role is to direct the Board’s business and act as its facilitator and guide,
ensuring the Board is effective in its task of setting and implementing the Company’s direction and strategy. The GCEO is responsible for the
day-to-day leadership of the Company’s business affairs and ensures the execution of strategy as set by the Board. The separation of the
roles is to promote accountability and facilitate division of responsibilities as well as to ensure a balance of power and authority such that
no one individual has unfettered powers of decision making.
BOARD COMMITTEES
In order to effectively carry out its governance responsibilities, the Board has established five standing committees as listed below and
delegated specific mandates to them. These committees operate under clearly articulated terms of reference which clarify their responsibilities
and scope of authority. The committees have unrestricted access to any information within the Company and have unfettered access to
the Company Secretary and independent professionals to enable them effectively discharge their functions. All committees report to the
Board at each Board meeting highlighting matters discussed at their respective meetings and recommended actions for Board approval in
appropriate cases. Notwithstanding the delegated authority to these committees, the Board remains fully responsible for the areas overseen
by the committees and activities of the committees.
The mandates of the committees and their membership are summarized as follows:
The mandate of the BACC is broadly speaking to assist the Board in the following five (5) areas where the key responsibilities include
financial reporting and compliance with applicable financial reporting standards, oversight of Internal Audit function and their review
of financial and operational controls, liaising with external auditors including receiving and reviewing their reports and letters, monitor
compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and review risk management issues within the Group. The Members of the BACC are
Mr. Zul Abdul (Chairman), Mr. Juma Kisaame, Mr. John Metcalf and Mr. Ashif Kassam. Their profiles are highlighted on page 16 and 17.
This committee reviews all new nominees to the Board and is mandated to assess the performance and effectiveness of Directors. The
Committee also reviews and approves the HR strategy in the Company.
The members of this committee are Mrs. Jane Mwangi (Chairperson), Mr. Nizar Juma, Mr. John Metcalf and Mr. Zul Abdul. Their profiles
are highlighted on page 16 and 17.
This committee reviews and makes recommendations on the financial and investment business of the Company The committee also provides
guidelines and limits for investment of the Company’s funds. The members of this committee are Mr. Lutaf Kassam (Chairman); Mr. John
Metcalf and Mr. Shabir Abji. Their profiles are highlighted on page 16 and 17.

REMUNERATION POLICIES
Directors:
The particulars of the Directors’ remuneration are given in the Directors’ Remuneration Report on page 26.
Senior Management:
The Board Nominating & Human Resources Committee is mandated to review and determine the Company’s policy on remuneration
and advise on the specific remuneration packages of senior managers so as to ensure that they are fairly rewarded for their individual
contributions to the Company’s overall performance. All employees in the Company are eligible for an annual bonus which is determined by
the overall performance of the Company and the individual’s performance against a pre agreed Balanced Scorecard. The Company does
not have any share options schemes for employees.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST
The Group ensures that the governance framework not only monitors compliance with legislation and regulations but also monitors the
ethical climate within the organization. Towards this end, all employees’ upon joining the Company and on an annual basis are required
to sign up to the Code of Conduct and Ethics which aims to encourage honest and ethical business conduct. The Board has also adopted
a Directors’ Code of Ethics and Conduct. One of the key principles underlying ethical business conduct is the avoidance and disclosure of
conflict of interest. Conflict of interest refers to a situation where an employee’s or Director’s private interest or that of a family member or
associated institution interferes or appears to interfere with the interests of the Company as a whole. Directors are under statutory obligation
to avoid a situation in which the Director has, or can have, a direct or indirect interest that conflicts, or may conflict with the interests of the
Company.
Where the conflict is inevitable, an employee is required to notify the Group Chief Executive Officer while a Director is required to notify
the Chairman of the Board as promptly as practicable and absent himself/herself from any discussion or decision by the Board that relates
to the matter giving rise to the conflict.
The Company’s disclosure on related party transactions is given in note 35 on page 91and 92 of this Integrated Report.
The Capital Markets Authority Act has prescribed certain regulations that expressly prohibit the use of unpublished insider information.
Insider information is generally information that:
The Company has also adopted an Insider Trading Policy with the objective of promoting transparency and accountability by Directors,
employees and members of their families including spouses, children, parents and siblings (collectively referred to as “Insiders”). The
Company’s Insider Trading Policy prohibits Insiders from trading in the securities of the Company at any time they are in possession of
Insider Information. The policy also prescribes a Trading Window during which Insiders can trade in the securities of the Company subject to
notifying the Group Company Secretary. This trading window opens twenty-four (24) hours after the release of any material or price sensitive
information (including the interim and final financial results) and closes fourteen (14) calendar days later.
The Company has a zero tolerance approach to fraud and corruption and has put in place both proactive and reactive measures to address
both. Employees are continuously sensitized on fraud awareness and their role in identifying, preventing and reporting fraudulent, corrupt
and unethical business conduct.
To encourage employee partnership in the fight against fraud and corruption, the Company has adopted a Whistle Blowing Policy that
aims to have an effective internal mechanism that enables employees to freely, voluntarily, in good faith and without fear of victimization
come forward and share any information they may have regarding any financial misconduct, misuse of Company resources, unethical or
dishonest behavior by co-workers (at all levels), service providers, suppliers or other stakeholders dealing with the Company. This policy is
available on the Company’s Website at www.jubileeinsurance.com. Towards this end and to facilitate reporting, the Company has signed
up for an external and internationally accredited whistle blowing facility which enables employees and other external stakeholders to make
reports via multiple reporting channels including telephone (toll-free or call back facility), email and web. This facility guarantees anonymity
and enhances the Company’s compliance with legislation on the protection of whistle blowers.
All reports are forwarded directly from the reporting center to the Group Chairman and Chairman of the Board Audit & Compliance
Committee for appropriate direction on action to be taken. All reported fraud is investigated, the concerned individual, given an opportunity
to be heard and appropriate action taken.
The Company values its relationship with all shareholders and ensures timely communication with them through the channels prescribed
by law and listing regulations. The Company holds an Annual General Meeting (AGM) in every year and invites all shareholders to attend
either in person or by proxy. At the AGM, the shareholders are invited to comment or ask questions on the any issues tabled before the
meeting and thereafter are given an opportunity to vote on the agenda items presented. All resolutions passed at every AGM are published
within ten (10) days of the meeting and uploaded on the Company’s website. Any decisions of the Board that require to be notified to the
public such as approval of final and interim financial results, Board appointments and resignations and other corporate actions are issued
through public announcements at the same time to all shareholders within the prescribed timelines of twenty - four (24) hours from when the
decision is made.
The Company is keen to ensure that there are open channels of communication not only with shareholders but all stakeholders including
employees, policy holders, insurance intermediaries, service providers and the public in general. Towards this end, the Company has put
in place various communication channels including monthly townhall meetings for employees to interact with management and raise any
issues that may be of concern or proposals on employee welfare, periodic breakfast meetings with intermediaries on multilateral business
support and service issues and most recently the Company has launched a Live Twitter chat that enables the general public to engage with
senior management led by the Group CEO on the Company’s products, services any related issues.
Dispute Resolution:
Disputes are an inevitable part of life. In a business setting, disputes might arise from engagements with clients, service providers employees
and other stakeholders. The Company strives to mitigate the occurrence of disputes by ensuring all contractual engagements are documented
and that the obligations and rights of the Company and its contracting partners are clearly articulated. All Company contracts are vetted
by the Legal department and contain dispute resolution mechanisms which include escalation of disputes to identified senior individuals in
the Company, mitigation or arbitration. As a last resort, where disputes cannot be amicably resolved, disputes are referred to the Courts of
Law or relevant Tribunals, as may be appropriate, for resolution. Internally, any dispute relating to disciplinary action contemplated against
an employee follows strict adherence to employment law with regard to giving the employee a chance to be heard. An employee who is
aggrieved by a decision of the Company has, in the first instance, recourse to lodge an appeal against such decision with the Group Chief
Executive Officer.

The Kenyan Companies Act, 2015 requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year that give a true and fair view
of the financial position of the Group and Company as at the end of the financial year and of its profit or loss for that year. It also requires
the directors to ensure the Company and Group keep proper accounting records that: a) show and explain the transactions of the Group and
Company; b) disclose, with reasonable accuracy, the financial position of the Group and Company; and c) enable the directors to ensure
that every financial statement required to be prepared complies with the requirements of the Companies Act, 2015.
The directors accept responsibility for the preparation and presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards and in the manner required by the Kenyan Companies Act, 2015. They also accept responsibility for:
• Designing, implementing and maintaining internal control as they determine necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements
that are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error;
• selecting suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; and
• Making judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances
Having made an assessment of the Group’s and Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, the directors are not aware of any
material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast doubt upon the Group’s and Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern.
The directors acknowledge that the independent audit of the financial statements does not relieve them of their responsibility.

Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Jubilee Holdings Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (together, the Group)
set out on pages 40 to 119, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position at 31 December 2018 and the consolidated
statement of profit or loss, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated
statement of cash flows for the year then ended, together with the Company statement of financial position at 31 December 2018, statement
of profit or loss and statement of other comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the
Company for the year then ended, and the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements of Jubilee Holdings Limited give a true and fair view of the financial position of the
Group and Company at 31 December 2018 and of their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Kenyan Companies Act, 2015.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are
further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report.
We are independent of the company in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for
Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in
Kenya, and we have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial
statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole,
and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Other information
The other information comprises the Integrated Report which we obtained prior to the date of the date of this auditor’s report but does not
include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the
financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so,
consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or
otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed on the other information, we conclude that there is
a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
The directors are responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Kenyan Companies Act, 2015, and for such internal control as the directors
determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern,
disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend
to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance,
but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements
can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence
the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit.
We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit
procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve
collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made
by the directors.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence
obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Groups’s ability to
continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report
to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are
based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group
to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial
statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group
to express an opinion on the Group’s financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the
Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit
findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and
to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where
applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the Group’s
financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless
law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should
not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public
interest benefits of such communication.
In our opinion the information given in the directors’ report on pages 32 to 33 is consistent with the financial statements.
In our opinion the auditable part of the directors’ remuneration report on page 26 has been properly prepared in accordance with the
Kenyan Companies Act, 2015.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Jubilee Holdings Limited is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in Kenya. The address of its registered office is: Jubilee
Insurance House, Wabera Street, Nairobi, Kenya. The Company has a primary listing on the Nairobi Securities Exchange and is cross-listed
on the Uganda Securities Exchange and Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange.
The Company through its subsidiaries and associates (together forming the Group) underwrites Life and non-life insurance risks, such as
those associated with death, disability, health, property and liability. The Group also issues a diversified portfolio of investment contracts to
provide its customers with asset management solutions for their savings and retirement needs. All these products are offered to both domestic
and foreign markets. It has operations in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi and Mauritius and employs over 1,209 (2017: 1,017) people
through its subsidiaries.
The insurance business of the Group is organized into three main divisions, short-term (general) business and long-term (life) business and
investment. Long-term business relates to the underwriting of life risks relating to insured persons, the issue of investment contracts and the
administration of pension funds. Short-term business relates to underwriting of property, health and liability insurance business.
With a view to diversifying the Group’s income base, the Group has invested in associate companies whose operational activities have been
extended to include property development and management, power generation and international fibre optic broadband cable connectivity.
Within these financial statements and the notes to the financial statements the words “consolidated” and “Group” have been used inter-
changeably to mean the Company and its subsidiaries.
For purposes of the Kenya Companies Act, 2015 reporting purposes, the balance sheet is represented by statement of financial position
while the profit and loss account is represented by the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out in Note 38. These policies have been
consistently applied to all years presented, unless otherwise stated.
The Group makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. Estimates
and judgments are continually evaluated and based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that
are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Set out below are the areas are the areas that are most dependent on the application
of estimates and assumptions:
Management applies judgment in the estimation of short-term insurance contract liabilities. The Group uses historical experience to estimate
the ultimate cost of claims and the provision for incurred but not reported (IBNR) claims. This involves the analysis of historical claims
development factors and the selection of estimated development factors based on this historical pattern. The selected development factors are
then applied to claims data for each accident year that is not fully developed to produce an estimated ultimate claims cost for each accident
year. The nature of claims is generally high frequency with short reporting periods. The Group estimates claims using projected ultimate loss
ratios based on notified claims.
The determination of the liabilities under long term insurance contracts is dependent on estimates made by the Group. Assumptions used to
compute the liabilities include mortality, persistency and investment returns. The assumptions used also include margin for adverse deviation,
for key variables, when considered appropriate. The Group uses standard mortality tables that reflect historical mortality experience.
The main source of uncertainty is that future mortality may end up being significantly worse than in the past for the age groups in which
the Group has significant exposure to mortality risk. However, continuing improvements in medical care and social conditions could result
in improvements in longevity in excess of those allowed for in the estimates used to determine the liability for contracts where the Group is
exposed to longevity risk. For contracts without fixed terms, it is assumed that the Group will be able to increase mortality risk charges in
future years in line with emerging mortality experience.
Estimates are also made as to future investment income arising from the assets backing long-term insurance contracts. These estimates are
based on current market returns as well as expectations about future economic and financial developments.
b) Income tax
The Group is subject to income taxes in various jurisdictions. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax
determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Group recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based
on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were
initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
The Group estimates the value of unquoted equity investments using techniques that include the use of observable inputs. Changes in these
estimates could result in material changes in the fair value of the investment. See further disclosures in Note 17.
d) Receivables
Critical estimates are made in determining the recoverable amount of impaired receivables. The process is set out in Note 38.10. The
carrying amount of the receivables are shown on Note 22.
Investment property comprises leasehold land and buildings and is measured at fair value. Fair value is based on valuations performed
every year by an independent valuation expert. In performing the valuation, the valuer obtains the market value of similar properties and
compares with the carrying value of the investment property. Given that the valuer uses actual sales data obtained from the market in
performing the valuation, any changes in the market interest rates or rental income would not result in any significant change in the carrying
value of investment property.
This section summarises the way the Group manages key risks:
The Group uses underwriting guidelines and standards to carefully select risks and maximize underwriting returns. The risk under any one
insurance contract is the possibility that the insured event occurs and the uncertainty of the amount of the resulting claim. By the very nature
of an insurance contract, this risk is random and therefore unpredictable. Experience shows that the larger the portfolio of similar insurance
contracts, the smaller the relative variability about the expected outcome will be. In addition, a more diversified portfolio is less likely to
be affected across the board by a change in any subset of the portfolio. The Group has developed its insurance underwriting strategy to
diversify the type of insurance risks accepted and within each of these categories to achieve a sufficiently large population of risks to reduce
the variability of the expected outcome. With assistance from the Group’s actuarial experts, pricing of insurance contracts is regularly
reviewed in line with experience.
Factors that aggravate insurance risk include lack of risk diversification in terms of type and amount of risk, geographical location and type
of industry covered.
The following tables illustrate the Group’s concentration of insurance risk. The tables disclose the range of individual insured risk (sums
assured) for the principle classes of business underwritten by the Group.
The Group is exposed to financial risk through its financial assets, financial liabilities (investment contracts and borrowings), reinsurance
assets and insurance liabilities. In particular the key financial risk is that the proceeds from its financial assets are not sufficient to fund the
obligations arising from its insurance and investment contracts.
These risks arise from open positions in interest rate, currency and equity products, all of which are exposed to general and specific market
movements. The risks that the Group primarily faces due to the nature of its investments and liabilities are interest rate risk and equity price
risk.
The Group manages these positions within an asset liability management (ALM) framework that has been developed to achieve long-term
investment returns in excess of its obligations under insurance and investment contracts. The principal technique of the Group’s ALM is to
match assets to the liabilities arising from insurance and investment contracts by reference to the type of benefits payable to contract holders.
For each distinct category of liabilities, a separate portfolio of assets is maintained.
The Group has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
Market risk will apply to quoted equity investments valued through profit or loss as well as those through equity, balances and investments
carried in currencies other than reporting currency and investments in associates and investments that are translated to the Group reporting
currency.
The Group operates regionally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to
the US Dollar, Uganda shilling and Tanzania Shilling. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognized assets
and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations.
The Group manages foreign exchange risk arising from future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities by maintaining
Dollar currency deposits.
The Group had the following significant foreign currency (all amounts expressed in Kenya Shillings thousands):
At 31 December 2018, if the Shilling had weakened/strengthened by 10% against the US dollar with all other variables held constant,
the post-tax profit for the year would have been KShs 209 thousand (2017: KShs 39 million) higher/lower, mainly as a result of US dollar
receivables and bank balances in the Kenyan entity.

receivables and bank balances in the Kenyan entity.
The Group’s exposure to the foreign currency risk of its subsidiaries and associates companies (where the entity’s reporting currency is not
Kenya Shilling linked) is summarized in the tables below by country and reporting currency:
The Group is exposed to equity securities price risk because of investments in quoted and unquoted shares classified either as financial assets
at fair value through other comprehensive income or at fair value through profit or loss. The Group is not exposed to commodity price risk. To
manage its price risk arising from investments in equity and debt securities, the Group diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is
done in accordance with limits set by the Group. All quoted shares held by the Group are traded on the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE),
the Uganda Securities Exchange (USE) and Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange (DSE).
The following group and company assets were subject to price risk at the end of the year:
Group Company
2018 2017 2018 2017
KShs ‘000 KShs ‘000 KShs ‘000 KShs ‘000

Total exposure 6,601,767 8,130,295 23,405 20,270
Group
At 31 December 2018, if the NSE, USE and DSE, indices had increased/decreased by 10% (2017:10%) with all other variables held
constant and all the Group’s equity instruments moved according to the historical correlation to the index, the post-tax profit would have
been KShs 835 million (2017 KShs 89 million) higher/lower, while post-tax other comprehensive income would have been KShs 346 million
(2017: KShs. 479 million).
Company
At 31 December 2018 the Company did not hold any shares in the Nairobi Securities Exchange. All quoted shares held by the Company
are traded on the Uganda Securities Exchange (USE). If the USE indices had increased/decreased by 10% with all other variables held
constant, all the companies’ equity instruments moved according to the historical correlation to the index, then equity movement would not
have been significant.
(b) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk (continued)
The sensitivity analysis for interest rate risk illustrates how changes in the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate
because of changes in market interest rates at the reporting date.
The following assets were subject to cash flow and fair value interest risk at the end of the year:
Group Company
2018 2017 2018 2017
KShs ‘000 KShs ‘000 KShs ‘000 KShs ‘000
Corporate bonds at amortised cost 802,939 904,007 - -
Corporate bonds at fair value through profit or loss 38,460 - - -
Government securities at amortised cost 44,975,816 47,195,222 - -
Government securities fair value through profit or loss 10,264,809 - - -
Deposits with financial institutions 11,315,417 10,585,597 919,427 250,098
Total exposure 67,397,441 58,684,826 919,427 250,098
At 31 December 2018, if the interest rates applicable to the above mentioned financial instruments had increased/decreased by 10%
(2017:10%) with all other variables held constant, the change in the post-tax profit would not have been significant as the call deposits are
held in the interim and placed in fixed interest rate instruments.
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an
obligation. Credit risk mainly arises from financial assets. Key areas where the Group is exposed to credit risk are:
The Group structures the levels of credit risk it accepts by dealing with institutions with good credit ratings and placing limits on its exposure
to a single counterparty, or groups of counterparties, and to geographical and industry segments. Such risks are subject to annual or more
frequent reviews. Limits on the level of credit risk by category and territory are approved quarterly by the Board of Directors.
Credit risk on trade receivables is managed by ensuring that credit is extended to customers with an established credit history. The credit
history is determined by taking into account the financial position, past experience and other relevant factors. Credit is managed by setting
the credit limit and the credit period for each customer. The utilization of the credit limits and the credit period is monitored by management
on a monthly basis.
Reinsurance is used to manage insurance risk. This does not, however, discharge the Group’s liability as primary insurer. If a reinsurer fails
to pay a claim for any reason, the Group remains liable for the payment to the policyholder. The credit worthiness of reinsurers is considered
on an annual basis by reviewing their financial strength prior to finalization of any contract.
Management information reported to the Group includes details of provisions for impairment on financial assets at amortized cost and
subsequent write-offs. Internal audit makes regular reviews to assess the degree of compliance with the Group procedures on credit.
Exposures to individual policyholders and groups of policyholders are collected within the ongoing monitoring of the controls associated with
regulatory solvency. Where there exists significant exposure to individual policyholders, or homogenous groups of policyholders, a financial
analysis equivalent to that conducted for reinsurers is carried out by the Group risk department.
The credit quality of financial assets with the exception of receivables from direct insurance is assessed by reference to external credit ratings
if available. Where external credit ratings are not available the counterparty is assessed based on historical information available relating
to the counterparty default rates.
Local regulations of Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania require require a minimum investment in the local government securities. As per S&P
rating the Government of Kenya and the Government of Uganda which has B+ and B respectively. These ratings are considered when
investing in Government securities over and above the regulatory requirements.
For investments in corporate bonds and deposits with financial institutions, the stability and reputation of the companies and banks is
reviewed regularly.
The maximum exposure of the Group to credit risk (financial instruments subject to impairment) as at the balance sheet date is as follows:
No collateral is held for any of the above assets other than for staff mortgage loans and car loans included under other receivables.
Properties in relation to staff mortgage loans and motor vehicles in relation to staff car loans are charged to the group as collateral.
The surrender value of the life insurance policies and title documents are held as collateral for loans on life policies and mortgage loans
respectively. All receivables that are neither past due or impaired are within their approved credit limits, and no receivables have had their
terms renegotiated.
Loss Allowance
The loss allowance recognised in the period is impacted by a variety of factors, such as:
• Transfers between Stage 1 and Stages 2 or 3 due to financial instruments experiencing significant increases (or decreases) of credit risk
or becoming credit impaired in the period, and the consequent ‘step-up’ (or ‘step-down’) between 12 month and Lifetime ECL;
• Additional allowance for new financial instruments recognised in the period, as well as releases for financial instruments;
• Impact on the measurement of ECL due to changes made to models and assumptions;
• Discount unwind with ECL due to passage of time, as ECL is measured on a present value basis;
• Foreign exchange retranslations for assets denominated in foreign currencies and other movements;
• Financial assets derecognised during the period and write off of allowances related to assets that were written off during the period.
The table below explains the changes in the loss allowance between the beginning and the end of the annual period due to these factors:

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from
an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. The quoted market
price used for financial assets held by the group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1. Instruments included in level 1 comprise primarily quoted equity investments classified as
fair value through profit or loss and fair value through other comprehensive income. The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is
determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant
inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2. If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in
level 3.
The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy. It does not include fair value information for financial
assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value if the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value.
GROUP
GROUP
COMPANY
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial and non-financial instruments include:
• Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments.
• Other techniques, such as discounted cash flow analysis, are used to determine fair value for the remaining financial instruments.
(f) Capital risk management
The Group’s objectives when managing capital, which is a broader concept than the ‘equity’ on the statement of financial position, are to:

Tanzania.

• Composite insurance companies Shs1billion;
• Short term insurance business companies KShs 600 million; and
• Long term insurance business companies KShs 400 million

determined by the regulator. Insurance companies are required to hold capital equal to 100% of the higher of absolute minimum capital,
volume of business or risk based capital minimum. During the year the Company held more than the minimum required capital to stand at
154% (2017: 184%) and 111% (2017: 147%) for the short-term and long term business’ respectively.
Uganda

requirement during the year.
The Insurance Act, 2011further requires that 2% of the gross written premium or15% of the net profit, whichever is greater, be transferred
to the contingency reserve until it equals the minimum paid up capital or 50% of the current year’s net written premium, whichever is higher.
Additional, for short-term company, the Insurance Act, 2011 requires that 5% of the net profit for the year be transferred to the capital
reserve.
The two Ugandan insurance entities were in compliance with the regulatory requirements.

Investment property comprises a number of commercial properties that are leased to third parties. Investment property for the Group was
valued by Redfearn International Limited on the basis of open market value. Investment properties include properties situated within Kenya
valued at KShs 4,458 million (2017: KShs 4,378 million) and those outside Kenya valued at KShs 1,936 million (2017: KShs 1,893 million).
Refer to Note 37 on operating leases for net operating income in profit or loss from investment properties.
All investment properties as at the end of the year are measured at fair value. In arriving at the open market value of the lettable properties,
the valuer obtains the realised value of recent property sales of similar properties and compares with the carrying value of the investment
property. The investment properties are disclosed at level 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy.
Given that the valuer uses actual sales data in performing the valuation, any changes in the market interest rates or rental income would not
result in any significant change in the carrying value of investment property.

The Group uses chain-ladder techniques to estimate the ultimate cost of claims and the IBNR provision. Chain ladder techniques are used as
they are an appropriate technique for mature classes of business that have a relatively stable development pattern. This involves the analysis
of historical claims development factors and the selection of estimated development factors based on this historical pattern. The selected
development factors are then applied to cumulative claims data for each accident year that is not fully developed to produce an estimated
ultimate claims cost for each accident year.

Valuation assumptions
The latest actuarial valuation for the long-term business was carried out as at 31 December 2018 by Actuarial Partners Consultants. Two
valuation methods were applied, the Net Premium Value (NPV) for entities outside Kenya and the Gross Premium Valuation (GPV), for The
Jubilee Insurance Company of Kenya Limited long-term fund valuation. The change in valuation method in Kenya from NPV to GPV was in
compliance with the directive given by the Kenyan Insurance Regulator, and was effected for in the 2015 valuations and the period thereafter.
The Gross Premium Valuation (GPV) is accepted in the actuarial industry as an appropriate method to place a realistic value (with an
appropriate allowance for margins) on the liabilities of a life insurance company. This method is based on a discounted cash flow approach
taking into account the expected cash flows from existing in-force business. By setting appropriate assumptions this method determines
liabilities which are consistent with the value of assets included in the accounts.
The more significant valuation assumptions are summarised below per country. The assumptions used for the previous year-end valuation
are shown in brackets:
Kenya
a) Mortality - The Company used KE 07-10 as a base table of standard mortality for ordinary life and KE 01-03 for annuity life. Statistical
methods are used to adjust the rates reflected in the table based on the Company’s experience for ordinary life and annuity life (2016:
KE 07-10 for Ordinary Life and KE 01-03 for Annuity Life).
b) Persistency - The persistency rates used in the valuation were set according to the experience observed (by the actuary) in the Company’s
data.
c) Discount Rates - As per the valuation guideline, the expected future cash flows shall be discounted using the relevant risk-free interest
rate. The risk free interest rate is determined using the Nairobi Securities Exchange yield curve as at December 2018 and has been
converted to zero coupon yield which ranged from 10.23% to 15.59%. The discount rate is further adjusted by a risk margin of 10%
(2017:15%).
Given the higher solvency requirement to apply a 20% risk margin on the discount rate, by Kenyan Insurance Act, the difference
between the 10% and 20% risk margin has been offset as an appropriation of retained earnings to statutory reserves in the Statement
of Financial Position. The impact of the difference between 10% and 20% risk margin is KShs 1, 377,467,000.
d) Expenses, tax and inflation - The current level of renewal expenses were taken based on the current expense position of the company.
Expense inflation is assumed to be 6.4% p.a. (2017:5.8% p.a.). It has been assumed that the current tax legislation and rates continue
unaltered.
Uganda
The principles on which the valuation was made were determined by the Actuary having regard for the statutory requirements of Uganda
Insurance Regulations 2002.
For Ordinary Life, the valuation was based on a net premium valuation (NOV) basis. The actuarial reserves were calculated using the ‘full
preliminary term’ method with reserves calculated by deducting the present value of the future modified net premiums from the present value
of the sums assured, guaranteed cash bonuses and accrued bonuses.
The group life plans a reserve equal to the higher of unexpired risks and the unearned portion of the office premium was held on a 1/365th
methodology. An additional reserve for Incurred But Not Reported (IBNR) claims was also held.
In performing valuation using the GPV methodology, the entity adopted the Best Estimate assumptions which are derives from the Company’s
experience as follows:
• Mortality and morbidity – The assumptions are derives based on the Company’s experience with partial credibility theory as follows:
• Management expense – The assumption was calculated based on the Company’s actual management expenses in 2018 as follows:
Ordinary Life
Expenses Per Policy (UShs) % of Premium
Maintenance Expenses 147,672 1.05%
• Discount rate – The discount rate for Ordinary Life set at 13.3% was derived based on the current asset mix and expected return for
each type of asset.
Tanzania
The Company determines its liabilities on long term insurance contracts based on the assumptions in relation to future deaths, voluntary
terminations, investment returns and administration expenses. The cash flows for each individual policy were projected on monthly intervals,
till natural expiry of the policies. A margin of risk and uncertainty is added to these assumptions. The liabilities are determined on the advice
of the consulting actuary and actuarial valuations carried out on an annual basis.
Set out below are the general principles and details of the methods adopted in the valuation of the policies:
a) Except for the polices mentioned below, Actuarial Reserves were calculated using the ‘full preliminary term’ method with reserves
calculated by deducting the present value of the future modified net premiums from the present value of the sums assured, guaranteed
cash bonuses and accrued bonuses.
Group Temporary Assurance, as reserve equal to the unearned portion of the office premium was held on a 1/365th methodology. An
additional reserve for Incurred But Not Reported (IBNR) claims was also held. There are some Group Temporary Assurance policies with
a policy term greater than one year (up to 5 years). For these plans the entity tested to ensure the basis used is more conservative than the
prescribed basis.
b) Ordinary Life Business – The modified net premium was taken as the ‘pure’ net premium for an age one year higher than the actual age
entry without changing the time when premiums cease or any policy money becomes payable if such time is determined by reference
to the actual age entry. Actual premium terms and maturity dates were taken as set out in the policies.
Valuation Assumptions
Demographic assumptions
(i) The Company used mortality tables for a neighboring East African Country as a base table of standard mortality for assured individual
life. The average assumed mortality rate is 6.38%. The mortality table is used to estimate among other things the life expectancy for the
estimation of when the sum assured are expected to be paid. Statistical methods are used to adjust the rates reflected in the table based
on the Company’s experience for Ordinary Group Life.
(ii) Entry date was taken as the next birthday date.
As an alternative, gross valuation basis was also calculated. The policy liabilities calculated on a net premium basis was higher than
that calculated on the gross premium basis and therefore the net premium valuation results were used for Ordinary Life business in line
with the group accounting policy.
Sensitivity analysis
The following table presents the sensitivity of the value of long term insurance liabilities to movements in key assumptions used in the
estimation process. For liabilities under insurance contracts with fixed and guaranteed terms, key assumptions are unchanged for the
duration of the contract.
For long term insurance contracts without fixed terms and with discretionary participation in profits, the liability is set approximately
equal to the value of the underlying asset of the contract. Hence, there is no sensitivity analysis for these types of contracts. The following
table presents the sensitivity of these contracts to movements in key assumptions used in the estimation of liabilities:

33. DIVIDENDS
(i) PROPOSED DIVIDEND
Proposed dividend is accounted for as a separate component of equity until ratified at an Annual General Meeting. During the year, an
interim dividend of KShs 72.473 million was paid (2017: KShs 72.473 million) or KShs 1.00 per share (2017: KShs 1.00 per share). At
the Annual General Meeting to be held on 25 June 2019, a final dividend of KShs 579.784 million (2017: KShs 579.784 million) is to
be proposed, which is KShs 8.00 per share (2017: KShs 8.00 per share). The total dividend for the year 2018 is therefore KShs 652.257
million (2017: KShs 652.257million) or KShs 9.00 per share (2017: KShs 9.00 per share).
Payment of dividend is subject to withholding tax at the rate of either 0%, 5% or 10%, depending on the percentage shareholding and/or
residential status of the respective shareholders.

New Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are effective and adopted in the 2018 annual financial
statements
The Group has adopted the following new standards and amendments during the year ended 31 December 2087, including consequential
amendments to other standards with the date of initial application by the Group being 1 January 2018. The nature and effects of the
changes are explained below:
This standard replaces IAS 11 Construction Contracts, IAS 18 Revenue, IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes, IFRIC 15 Agreements for the
Construction of Real Estate, IFRIC 18 Transfer of Assets from Customers and SIC-31 Revenue – Barter of Transactions Involving Advertising
Services.
The standard contains a single model that applies to contracts with customers and two approaches to recognising revenue: at a point in time
or over time. The standard specifies how and when an IFRS reporter will recognise revenue as well as requiring such entities to provide users
of financial statements with more informative, relevant disclosures.
The standard provides a single, principles based five-step model to be applied to all contracts with customers in recognising revenue being:
Identify the contract(s) with a customer; identify the performance obligations in the contract; determine the transaction price; Allocate the
transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance
obligation.
The adoption of these changes did not have a significant effect on the amounts and disclosures of the Group’s financial statements.
On 24 July 2014 the IASB issued the final IFRS 9 Financial Instruments Standard, which replaces earlier versions of IFRS 9 and completes
the IASB’s project to replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.
Even though these measurement categories are similar to IAS 39, the criteria for classification into these categories are significantly different.
In addition, the IFRS 9 impairment model has been changed from an “incurred loss” model from IAS 39 to an “expected credit loss” model.
The standard is effective for annual period beginning on or after 1 January 2018 with retrospective application and early adoption
permitted.
The Group early adopted IFRS 9 as issued by the IASB in July 2014 with a date of transition of 1 January 2018, which resulted in changes
in accounting policies and adjustments to the amounts previously recognised in the financial statements. The Group has now updated the
classification based on the full adoption in 2018.
As permitted by the transitional provisions of IFRS 9, the Group elected not to restate comparative figures. Any adjustments to the carrying
amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities at the date of transition were recognised in the opening retained earnings and other
reserves of the current period.
Consequently, for notes disclosures, the consequential amendments to IFRS 7 disclosures have also only been applied to the current period.
The comparative period notes disclosures repeat those disclosures made in the year.
The adoption of IFRS 9 has resulted in changes in our accounting policies for recognition, classification and measurement of financial
assets and financial liabilities and impairment of financial assets. IFRS 9 also significantly amends other standards dealing with financial
instruments such as IFRS 7 ‘Financial Instruments: Disclosures’.
The Group fully implemented IFRS 9 with effect from 1 January 2018, with the impact of the cumulative adjustment reflected as an adjustment
to opening retained income.
All financial assets under IFRS 9 are to be initially recognised at fair value, including directly attributable transactions costs (for financial
assets not measured at fair value through profit or loss).
(i) the business model within which the financial assets are managed and
(ii) the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets (whether the cash flows represent ‘solely payment of principal and
interest’).
Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold those assets for the
purpose of collecting contractual cashflows and those cashflows comprise solely payments of principal and interest (‘hold to collect’).
Financial assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if they are held within a business model whose objective is
achieved by both collecting contractual cashflows and selling financial assets, and those contractual cashflows comprise solely payments of
principal and interest (‘hold to collect and sell’). Movements in the carrying amount of these financial assets should be taken through OCI,
except for impairment gains or losses, interest revenue and foreign exchange gains or losses, which are recognised in profit or loss. Where
the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss.
Other financial assets are measured at FVTPL. All derivative instruments that are either financial assets or financial liabilities will continue to
be classified as held for trading and measured at fair value through profit and loss.
The accounting for financial liabilities is largely unchanged, except for financial liabilities designated at FVTPL. Changes in the fair value
of these financial liabilities that are attributable to the group’s own credit risk are recognised in OCI. Where the financial liability is
derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is not reclassified from equity to profit or loss. However, it may be
reclassified within equity. The group currently provides note disclosure in respect of the change in fair value due to credit risk of the group’s
financial liabilities designated at FVTPL, in Note 4 b.
For equity investments that are neither held for trading nor contingent consideration, the Group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent
changes in fair value of these equity investments in either (i) profit or loss (FVTPL); or (ii) other comprehensive income (FVOCI). Where the
equity investment is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is not reclassified from equity to profit or loss.
However, it may be reclassified within equity.
Based on the financial assets at 31 December 2017, the Group and Company assessment is shown as follows
Reconciliation of statement of financial position balances from the IFRS 9 (2008)/IAS 39 to IFRS 9
The Group performed a detailed analysis of its business models for managing financial assets and analysis of their cash flow characteristics.
The following table reconciles the carrying amount of financial assets, from their previous measurement categories in accordance with IFRS
9 (2008) /IAS 39 as at 31 December 2017 to the new measurement categories under IFRS 9 on 1 January 2018:

This Interpretation applies to a foreign currency transaction (or part of it) when an entity recognises a non-monetary asset or non-monetary
liability arising from the payment or receipt of advance consideration before the entity recognises the related asset, expense or income (or
part of it).
This Interpretation stipulates that the date of the transaction for the purpose of determining the exchange rate to use on initial recognition of
the related asset, expense or income (or part of it) is the date on which an entity initially recognises the non-monetary asset or non-monetary
liability arising from the payment or receipt of advance consideration.
This Interpretation does not apply to income taxes, insurance contracts and circumstances when an entity measures the related asset, expense
or income on initial recognition:
a) at fair value; or
b) at the fair value of the consideration paid or received at a date other than the date of initial recognition of the non-monetary asset
or non-monetary liability arising from advance consideration (for example, the measurement of goodwill applying IFRS 3 Business
Combinations).
The amendments apply retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with early application permitted.
The adoption of these changes did not affect the amounts and disclosures of the Group and Company financial statements.
Up until this point, IFRS 2 contained no guidance on how vesting conditions affect the fair value of liabilities for cash-settled share-based
payments. IASB has now added guidance that introduces accounting requirements for cash-settled share-based payments that follows the
same approach as used for equity-settled share-based payments.
IASB has introduced an exception into IFRS 2 so that a share-based payment where the entity settles the share-based payment arrangement
net is classified as equity-settled in its entirety provided the share-based payment would have been classified as equity-settled had it not
included the net settlement feature.
Up until this point, IFRS 2 did not specifically address situations where a cash-settled share-based payment changes to an equity-settled
share-based payment because of modifications of the terms and conditions. The IASB has introduced the following clarifications:
— On such modifications, the original liability recognised in respect of the cash-settled share-based payment is derecognised and the
equity-settled share-based payment is recognised at the modification date fair value to the extent services have been rendered up to the
modification date.
— Any difference between the carrying amount of the liability as at the modification date and the amount recognised in equity at the same
date would be recognised in profit and loss immediately.
The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. Earlier application is permitted. The amendments
are to be applied prospectively. However, retrospective application is allowed if this is possible without the use of hindsight. If an entity
applies the amendments retrospectively, it must do so for all of the amendments described above.
The Group and the Company do not have share based payments hence there amendment has no impact.
Transfers of Investment property (Amendments to IAS 40)
The IASB has amended the requirements in IAS 40 Investment property on when a company should transfer a property asset to, or from,
investment property. The Group and the Company did not make any transfers and hence there amendment has no impact.
A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are not yet effective for the year ended 31 December 2018, and
have not been applied in preparing these financial statements.
The Group does not plan to adopt these standards early. These are summarised below;
IFRS 16 was issued in January 2016 and replaces replaces IAS 17 Leases and its related interpretations for reporting periods beginning on
or after 1 January 2019.
The Group as lessee: IFRS 16 introduces a ‘right of use’ model whereby the lessee recognises a right-of-use asset and an associated financial
obligation to make lease payments for all leases with a term of more than12 months. The asset will be amortised over the lease term and the
financial liability measured at amortised cost with interest recognised in profit and loss using the effective interest rate method.
The Group as lessor: IFRS 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in IAS 17. Accordingly, a lessor continues to
classify and account for its leases as operating leases or finance leases.
The Group is in the process of assessing the impact of IFRS 16 and which transitional approach will be used.
IFRIC 23 clarifies the accounting for income tax treatments that have yet to be accepted by tax authorities, whilst also aiming to enhance
transparency.
IFRIC 23 explains how to recognise and measure deferred and current income tax assets and liabilities where there is uncertainty over a
tax treatment.
An uncertain tax treatment is any tax treatment applied by an entity where there is uncertainty over whether that treatment will be accepted
by the tax authority.
If an entity concludes that it is probable that the tax authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment that has been taken or is expected to be
taken on a tax return, it should determine its accounting for income taxes consistently with that tax treatment. If an entity concludes that it is
not probable that the treatment will be accepted, it should reflect the effect of the uncertainty in its income tax accounting in the period in
which that determination is made. Uncertainty is reflected in the overall measurement of tax and separate provision is not allowed.
The entity is required to measure the impact of the uncertainty using the method that best predicts the resolution of the uncertainty (that is,
the entity should use either the most likely amount method or the expected value method when measuring an uncertainty).
The entity will also need to provide disclosures, under existing disclosure requirements, about;
a) judgments made;
b) assumptions and other estimates used; and
c) potential impact of uncertainties not reflected.
Management is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard to the Group’s financial statements.
IFRS 17 requires an entity that issues insurance contracts to report them on the statement of financial position as the total of:
a) the fulfilment cash flows-the current estimates of amounts that the entity expects to collect from premiums and pay out for claims, benefits
and expenses, including an adjustment for the timing and risk of those amounts; and
b) the contractual service margin-the expected profit for providing insurance coverage. The expected profit for providing insurance
coverage is recognised in profit or loss over time as the insurance coverage is provided.
IFRS 17 requires an entity to recognise profits as it delivers insurance services, rather than when it receives premiums, as well as to provide
information about insurance contract profits that the Company expects to recognise in the future. IFRS 17 requires an entity to distinguish
between groups of contracts expected to be profit making and groups of contracts expected to be loss making. Any expected losses arising
from loss-making, or onerous, contracts are accounted for in profit or loss as soon as the Company determines that losses are expected. IFRS
17 requires the entity to update the fulfilment cash flows at each reporting date, using current estimates of the amount, timing and uncertainty
of cash flows and of discount rates. The entity:
a) accounts for changes to estimates of future cash flows from one reporting date to another either as an amount in profit or loss or as an
adjustment to the expected profit for providing insurance coverage, depending on the type of change and the reason for it; and
b) chooses where to present the effects of some changes in discount rates-either in profit or loss or in other comprehensive income.
IFRS 17 also requires disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the amounts recognised in the entity’s statement of
financial position and statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, and to assess the risks the Company faces from issuing
insurance contracts.
IFRS 17 replaces IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts. IFRS 17 is effective for financial periods commencing on or after 1 January 2022. An entity
shall apply the standard retrospectively unless impracticable. A Company can choose to apply IFRS 17 before that date, but only if it also
applies IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
The adoption of these changes are expected to have a significant impact on the amounts and disclosures of the Group’s financial statements.
Management is currently evaluating the impact upon adoption of the standard.
The amendments clarify that financial assets containing prepayment features with negative compensation can now be measured at amortised
cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) if they meet the other relevant requirements of IFRS 9. Management is
currently evaluating the impact of the new standard to the Group’s financial statements.
The amendments apply for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 with retrospective application, early adoption is permitted.
Management is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard to the Group’s financial statements.
The amendments apply for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. Early adoption is permitted.
Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Company (Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28)
The amendments require the full gain to be recognised when assets transferred between an investor and its associate or Company meet the
definition of a ‘business’ under IFRS 3 Business Combinations. Where the assets transferred do not meet the definition of a business, a partial
gain to the extent of unrelated investors’ interests in the associate or Company is recognised. The definition of a business is key to determining
the extent of the gain to be recognised.
The effective date for these changes has now been postponed until the completion of a broader review.
The adoption of these changes will not affect the amounts and disclosures of the Group and Company financial statements.
Standards Amendments
Clarifies how a Company accounts for increasing its interest in a joint operation that meets the definition of
a business:
IFRS 3 Business
Combinations and IFRS – If a party maintains (or obtains) joint control, then the previously held interest is not remeasured.
11 Joint Arrangements
– If a party obtains control, then the transaction is a business combination achieved in stages and the
acquiring party remeasures the previously held interest at fair value.
Clarifies that all income tax consequences of dividends (including payments on financial instruments classified
IAS 12 Income taxes as equity) are recognised consistently with the transactions that generated the distributable profits – i.e. in
profit or loss, OCI or equity.
Clarifies that the general borrowings pool used to calculate eligible borrowing costs excludes only borrowings
that specifically finance qualifying assets that are still under development or construction. Borrowings that
were intended to specifically finance qualifying assets that are now ready for their intended use or sale – or
IAS 23 Borrowing costs any non-qualifying assets – are included in that general pool.
As the costs of retrospective application might outweigh the benefits, the changes are applied prospectively
to borrowing costs incurred on or after the date an entity adopts the amendments.
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 with earlier application permitted. The
adoption of these amendments is not expected to affect the amounts and disclosures of the Company’s financial statements.
New and amended standards and interpretations in issue but not yet effective for the year ended 31 December 2018 (Continued)
– on amendment, curtailment or settlement of a defined benefit plan, a Company now uses updated actuarial assumptions to determine
its current service cost and net interest for the period; and
– the effect of the asset ceiling is disregarded when calculating the gain or loss on any settlement of the plan and is dealt with separately
in other comprehensive income (OCI).
Consistent with the calculation of a gain or loss on a plan amendment, entities will now use updated actuarial assumptions to determine the
current service cost and net interest for the period. Previously, entities would not have updated the calculation of these costs until the year-end.
Further, if a defined benefit plan is settled, any asset ceiling would be disregarded when determining the plan assets as part of the calculation
of gain or loss on settlement.
The amendments apply for plan amendments, curtailments or settlements that occur on or after 1 January 2019, or the date on which the
amendments are first applied. Earlier application is permitted.
The adoption of this standard will not have an impact on the financial statements of the Group.
With a broad business definition, determining whether a transaction results in an asset or a business acquisition has long been a challenging
but important area of judgement. These amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations seek to clarify this matter as below however complexities
still remain.
– Substantive process
If an entity chooses not to apply the concentration test, or the test is failed, then the assessment focuses on the existence of a substantive
process.
The definition of a business is now narrower and could result in fewer business combinations being recognised.
The amendment applies to businesses acquired in annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020. Earlier application is
permitted. The adoption of this standard will not have an impact on the financial statements of the Group.
New and amended standards and interpretations in issue but not yet effective for the year ended 31 December 2018 (Continued)
This amendment sets out amendments to IFRS Standards (Standards), their accompanying documents and IFRS practice statements to reflect
the issue of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting in 2018 (2018
Conceptual Framework).
Some Standards, their accompanying documents and IFRS practice statements contain references to, or quotations from, the IASC’s
Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements adopted by the IASB in 2001 (Framework) or the Conceptual
Framework for Financial Reporting issued in 2010. Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards updates
some of those references and quotations so that they refer to the 2018 Conceptual Framework, and makes other amendments to clarify which
version of the Conceptual Framework is referred to in particular documents.
These amendments are based on proposals in the Exposure Draft Updating References to the Conceptual Framework, published in 2015,
and amend Standards, their accompanying documents and IFRS practice statements that will be effective for annual reporting periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2020.
TThe adoption of these changes will not affect the amounts and disclosures of the Group’s financial statements.
The amendment refines the definition of Material to make it easier to understand and aligning the definition across IFRS Standards and the
Conceptual Framework.
The amendment includes the concept of ‘obscuring’ to the definition, alongside the existing references to ‘omitting’ and ‘misstating’.
Additionally, the amendments also adds the increased threshold of ‘could influence’ to ‘could reasonably be expected to influence’ as below.
“Information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of
general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which provide financial information about a specific
reporting entity.”
However, the amendment has also removed the definition of material omissions or misstatements from IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes
in Accounting Estimates and Errors.
The amendments are effective from 1 January 2020 but may be applied earlier. The Group is assessing the potential impact on its financial
statements resulting from the application of the refined definition of materiality.
The Group uses the acquisition method of accounting to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition
of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration
transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition-related costs are
expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured
initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group recognizes any non-controlling interest
in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets.
The excess of the consideration transferred the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value
over any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded
as goodwill.
If this is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognized
directly in profit or loss.
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are
also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have
been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment. Cost is adjusted to reflect changes in consideration arising from
contingent consideration amendments. Cost also includes direct attributable costs of investment.
b) Investment in Associates
Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence, but not control, or joint control over the financial and operating
policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for
by the equity method of accounting and are initially recognised at cost. The Group’s investments in associates include goodwill identified on
acquisition net of all accumulated impaired losses.
The Group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in the profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition
movements in reserves is recognised in other comprehensive income. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the
carrying amount of the investment. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including
any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf
of the associate.
Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates.
Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies
of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
Dilution of gains and losses arising from investment in associates are recognised in the profit or loss.
c) Foreign currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment
in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Kenya Shillings, which is the
Company’s functional and presentation currency.
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency of the respective entity using the exchange rates prevailing at the
dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at
year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in profit or loss.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate when
the fair value was determined.
The results and financial position of all the group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a
functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
• Assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the reporting date
• Income and expenses for each profit or loss are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable
approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income expenses are translated
at the dates of the transactions); and
• All resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component in other comprehensive income.
Results of activities considered incidental to Jubilee Holdings main operations as well as unallocated revenues and expenses, liabilities and
assets have been categorized under investments segment. There are no reconciling differences between the primary financial statements of
the Group and the reported segmental information.
The Group has a widely diversified policy holder base and is therefore not reliant on any individual major customers.
38.4. INSURANCE CONTRACTS
a) Classification
The Group issues contracts that transfer insurance risk or financial risk or both. Insurance contracts are those contracts that transfer significant
insurance risk. Such contracts may also transfer financial risk. As a general guideline, the Group defines as significant insurance risk, the
possibility of having to pay benefits on the occurrence of an insured event that are at least 10% more than the benefits payable if the insured
event did not occur.
Investment contracts are those contracts that transfer financial risk with no significant insurance risk. See accounting policy for these contracts
under 38.6. Insurance contracts and investment contracts are classified into two main categories, depending on the duration of risk and as
per the provisions of the Insurance Act.
For long term insurance business, premiums are recognized as revenue when they become payable by the contract holder. Premiums are
shown before deduction of commission.
For short-term insurance business, Premium income is recognized on assumption of risks, and includes estimates of premiums due but not yet
received, less an allowance for cancellations, and less unearned premium. Unearned premiums represent the proportion of the premiums
written in periods up to the accounting date that relates to the unexpired terms of policies in force at the reporting date. Whilst all other
subsidiaries computed the reserve based on the 24ths method, The Jubilee Insurance Company of Kenya Limited revised the method of
computing the unearned premiums to the 1/365th method with effect from 1 January 2014.
Premiums are shown before deduction of commission and are gross of any taxes or duties levied on premiums.
For long term insurance business, benefits are recorded as an expense when they are incurred. Claims arising on maturing policies are
recognized when the claim becomes due for payment. Death claims are accounted for on notification. Surrenders are accounted for on
payment.
A liability for contractual benefits that are expected to be incurred in the future is recorded when the premiums are recognized. The liability
is determined as the sum of the expected discounted value of the benefit payments and the future administration expenses that are directly
related to the contract, less the expected discounted value of the theoretical premiums that would be required to meet the benefits and
administration expenses based on the valuation assumptions used (the valuation premiums). The liability is based on assumptions as to
mortality, persistency, maintenance expenses and investment income that are established at the time the contract is issued. A margin for
adverse deviations is included in the assumptions.
The Group assesses its reinsurance assets for impairment on a quarterly basis. If there is objective evidence that the reinsurance asset is
impaired, the Group reduces the carrying amount of the reinsurance asset to its recoverable amount and recognizes that impairment loss in
the profit or loss. The Group gathers the objective evidence that a reinsurance asset is impaired using the same process adopted for financial
assets held at amortized cost. The impairment loss is also calculated following the same method used for these financial assets.
(vi) Receivables and payables related to insurance contracts and investment contracts
Receivables and payables are recognized when due. These include amounts due to and from agents, brokers and insurance contract holders.
If there is objective evidence that the insurance receivable is impaired, the Group reduces the carrying amount of the insurance receivable
accordingly and recognizes that impairment loss in profit or loss. The Group gathers the objective evidence that an insurance receivable is
impaired using the same process adopted for loans and receivables. The impairment loss is also calculated under the same method used for
these financial assets.
Estimates of salvage recoveries are included as an allowance in the measurement of the insurance liability for claims, and salvage property
is recognized in other assets when the liability is settled. The allowance is the amount that can reasonably be recovered from the disposal
of the property.
Subrogation reimbursements are also considered as an allowance in the measurement of the insurance liability for claims and are recognized
in other assets when the liability is settled. The allowance is the assessment of the amount that can be recovered from the action against the
liable third party.
For investment contracts with fixed and guaranteed terms, the amortized cost basis is used. In this case, the liability is initially measured at
its fair value less transaction costs that are incremental and directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the contract.
Subsequent measurement of investment contracts at amortized cost uses the effective interest method. This method requires the determination
of an interest rate (the effective interest rate) that exactly discounts to the net carrying amount of the financial liability, the estimated future
cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or, when appropriate, a shorter period if the holder has the
option to redeem the instrument earlier than maturity.
The Group re-estimates at each reporting date the expected future cash flows and recalculates the carrying amount of the financial liability
by computing the present value of estimated future cash flows using the financial liability’s original effective interest rate. Any adjustment is
immediately recognized as income or expense in profit or loss.
For investment contracts with discretionary participation in profits, the liability is set approximately equal to the value of the underlying asset
of the contract.
The revenue recognition policy on commission is disclosed in note 38.4 (b) (iii).
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that
future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs
and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation on assets is calculated using the straight line method to write down their cost to their residual values over their estimated useful
lives, as follows:
Computers 3 years
Office equipment 4 years
Motor vehicles 5 years
Furniture, fixtures and fittings 10 years
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its estimated recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than
its estimated recoverable amount.
Investment property is measured at cost on initial recognition and subsequently measured at fair value. Directors monitor the investment
property market and economic conditions, including general and property inflation, on a regular basis to identify changes in market
conditions that may lead to significant change in fair value. Changes in fair values are included in investment income in the profit or loss.
On disposal of the investment property, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is charged or credited to
the statement of profit or loss.
All financial assets are recognized and derecognized on trade date when the purchase or sale of a financial asset is under a contract whose
terms require delivery of the financial asset within the timeframe established by the market concerned. Financial assets are initially measured
at fair value, plus transaction costs, except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), which are initially
measured at fair value.
All recognized financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortized cost or fair value.
Fair values of quoted investments in active markets are based on quoted bid prices. Fair values for unquoted investments are estimated using
valuation techniques. These include the use of recent arm’s length transactions, discounted cash flow analysis and other valuation techniques
commonly used by market participants.
For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or OCI. For investments in equity instruments that
are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the Group has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account
for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).
Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment
of principal and interest.
Debt instruments are those instruments that meet the definition of a financial liability from the issuer’s perspective, such as loans, government
and corporate bonds.
(i) the Group’s business model for managing the financial assets; and
Based on these factors, the Group classifies its debt instruments into one of the following three measurement categories:
• Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of
principal and interest are measured at amortised cost.
Interest income from these financial assets is included in investment income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss
arising on derecognition is recognised directly in profit or loss and presented in other gains/ (losses). Impairment losses are presented
as separate line item in the statement of profit or loss.
• FVOCI: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows
represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through
OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest income. Interest income from these financial assets is included
in investment income using the effective interest rate method. Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in other gains/ (losses)
and impairment expenses are presented as separate line item in the statement of profit or loss.
• FVPL: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at FVPL. A gain or loss on a debt investment that
is subsequently measured at FVPL is recognised in profit or loss and presented net within other gains/ (losses) in the period in which it
arises.
Business model: the business model reflected how the Group manages the assets in order to generate cash flows i.e. whether the Group’s
objective is solely to collect the contractual cash flows from the assets or is to collect both the contractual cash flows and cash flows arising
from the sale of assets. If neither of these is applicable (e.g. financial assets held for trading purposes), then the financial assets are classified
as part of ‘other’ business model and measured at FVTPL. Factors considered by the Group in determining the business model for a group of
assets include past experience on how the cash flows for these assets were collected, how the asset’s performance is evaluated and reported
to key management personnel and how risks are assessed and managed.
SPPI: Where the business model is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows or to collect contractual cash flows and sell, the Group
assesses whether the financial instruments’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest (‘SPPI test’). In making this
assessment, the Group considers whether the contractual cash flows are consistent with a basic lending arrangement i.e. includes only
consideration for the time value of money, credit risk, other basic lending risks and a profit margin that is consistent with a basic lending
arrangement. Where the contractual terms introduce exposure to risk or volatility that are inconsistent with a basic lending arrangement, the
related financial asset is classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss.
The Group reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short term highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown as part of current liabilities on the statement of financial
position. The reported cash and cash equivalents are amounts cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short term highly liquid
investments with original maturities of three months or less. Foreign denominated balances are measured using the foreign exchange rates
prevailing at the reporting date.
Equity instruments
The Group subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Group’s management has elected to present fair value
gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following
the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognised in profit or loss as other income when the
Group’s right to receive payments is established.
Changes in the fair value of financial assets at FVPL are recognised in other gains/ (losses) in the statement of profit or loss as applicable.
Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVOCI are not reported separately from other
changes in fair value.
At initial recognition, the Group can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to designate investments in equity
instruments as at FVTOCI. Designation at FVTOCI is not permitted if the equity investment is held for trading. A financial asset is held for
trading if:
• it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term; or
• on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages together and has evidence of a
recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or
Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs.
Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognised in other comprehensive
income and accumulated in the fair value reserve. Where the asset is disposed of, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the
fair value reserve is not reclassified to the statement of profit or loss, but is reclassified to retained earnings.
For financial instruments traded in active markets, the determination of fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities is based on
the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date. This includes listed equity securities and quoted debt instruments at the Nairobi Securities Exchange. The quoted market
price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price.
A financial instrument is regarded as quoted in an active market if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange,
dealer, broker, industry, pricing service or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions
on an arm’s length basis. If the above criteria are not met, the market is regarded as being inactive.
For example a market is inactive when there is a wide bid-offer spread or significant increase in the bid-offer spread or there are few recent
transactions.
For all other financial instruments, fair value is determined using valuation techniques. In these techniques, fair values are estimated from
observable data in respect of similar financial instruments, using models to estimate the present value of expected future cash flows or other
valuation techniques, using inputs existing at the dates of the statement of financial position.
Fair values are categorised into three levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the degree to which the inputs to the measurement are
observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety:
• Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
• Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for
the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
• Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not
based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognised by the Group at the end of the reporting period during which the change
occurred.
Impairment
From 1 January 2018, the Group assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments
carried at amortised cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase
in credit risk.
Prior to 1 January 2018, the Group would assess at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group
of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is
objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that have occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’)
and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can
be reliably estimated. Objective evidence that a financial asset or group of assets is impaired includes observable data that comes to the
attention of the Group about the following events:
Objective evidence that a financial asset or group of assets is impaired includes observable data that comes to the attention of the Group
about the following events:
IFRS 9 replaced the previous ‘incurred loss’ model in IAS 39 with a forward-looking ‘expected credit loss’ (“ECL”) model. The new impairment
model applies to the following financial instruments that are not measured at FVTPL or FVTOCI:
No impairment loss is recognised on equity investments and financial assets measured at FVPL.
The Group recognises loss allowance at an amount equal to either 12-month ECLs or lifetime ECLs. Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from
all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument, whereas 12-month ECLs are the portion of ECLs that result from
default events that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date.
The Group will recognise loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs, except in the following cases, for which the amount recognised
will be 12-month ECLs:
• Debt instruments that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date. The Group will consider a debt instrument to have
low credit risk when its credit risk rating is equivalent to the globally understood definition of ‘investment-grade’ and investments in
Government securities; and
• Other financial instruments (other than trade and lease receivables) for which credit risk has not increased significantly since initial
recognition.
Loss allowances for premium and rent receivables will always be measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. The impairment requirements
of IFRS 9 require management judgement, estimates and assumptions, particularly in the following areas, which are discussed in detail
below:
• assessing whether the credit risk of an instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition; and
• incorporating forward-looking information into the measurement of ECLs.
ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses and will be measured as follows:
• financial assets that are not credit-impaired at the reporting date: the present value of all cash shortfalls – i.e. the difference between
the cash flows due to the entity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive;
• financial assets that are credit-impaired at the reporting date: the difference between the gross carrying amount and the present value
of estimated future cash flows;
An asset is credit-impaired if one or more events have occurred that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the asset.
The Group will apply the approaches below to each of its assets subject to impairment under IFRS 9:
• Stage 1 - where credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition. For financial assets in stage 1, the Group will
recognise 12 month ECL and recognise interest income on a gross basis – this means that interest will be calculated on the gross
carrying amount of the financial asset before adjusting for ECL.
• Stage 2 - where credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition. When a financial asset transfers to stage 2, the Group
will recognise lifetime ECL but interest income will continue to be recognised on a gross basis.
• Stage 3 - where the financial asset is credit impaired. This is effectively the point at which there has been an incurred loss event. For
financial assets in stage 3, the Group will continue to recognise lifetime ECL but they will now recognise interest income on a net basis.
As such, interest income will be calculated based on the gross carrying amount of the financial asset less ECL.
The changes in the loss allowance balance are recognised in profit or loss as an impairment gain or loss.
Definition of default
The Group will consider a financial asset to be in default when:
• the counterparty or borrower is unlikely to pay their credit obligations to the Group in full, without recourse by the Group to actions
such as realising security (if any is held); or
• the counterparty or borrower is more than 90 days past due on any material credit obligation to the Group. This will be consistent with
the rebuttable criteria set out by IFRS 9 and existing practice of the Group; or
In assessing whether the counterparty or borrower is in default, the Group considers indicators that are:
• Qualitative: e.g. Breach of covenant and other indicators of financial distress;
• Quantitative: e.g. Overdue status and non-payment of another obligation of the same issuer to the Group; and
• Based on data developed internally and obtained from external sources.
Inputs into the assessment of whether a financial instrument is in default and their significance may vary over time to reflect changes in
circumstances.
When determining whether the credit risk (i.e. risk of default) on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition,
the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both
quantitative and qualitative information and analysis based on the Group’s historical experience, expert credit assessment and forward-
looking information.
The Group primarily identifies whether a significant increase in credit risk has occurred for an exposure by comparing:
• The remaining lifetime probability of default (PD) as at the reporting date; with
• The remaining lifetime PD for this point in time that was estimated on initial recognition of the exposure.
The assessment of significant deterioration is key in establishing the point of switching between the requirement to measure an allowance
based on 12-month expected credit losses and one that is based on lifetime expected credit losses.
• The Group monitors the effectiveness of the criteria used to identify significant increases in credit risk by regular reviews to confirm that:
• the criteria are capable of identifying significant increases in credit risk before an exposure is in default;
• the criteria do not align with the point in time when an asset becomes 30 days past due;
• the average time between the identification of a significant increase in credit risk and default appears reasonable;
• exposures are not generally transferred from 12-month ECL measurement to credit-impaired; and
• there is no unwarranted volatility in loss allowance from transfers between 12-month and lifetime ECL measurements.
Incorporation of forward-looking information
The Group incorporates forward-looking information into both its assessment of whether the credit risk of an instrument has increased
significantly since initial recognition and its measurement of ECL. It formulates a ‘base case’ view of the future direction of relevant economic
variables and a representative range of other possible forecast scenarios based on advice from the Group risk committee and economic
experts and consideration of a variety of external actual and forecast information. This process involves developing two or more additional
economic scenarios and considering the relative probabilities of each outcome. External information includes economic data and forecasts
published by governmental bodies and monetary authorities in the countries where the Group operates, supranational organisations such
as the Organisation for Economic Co¬operation and Development and the International Monetary Fund, and selected private-sector and
academic forecasters.
The base case represents a best estimate and is aligned with information used by the Group for other purposes, such as strategic planning
and budgeting. The other scenarios represent more optimistic and more pessimistic outcomes. The Group also periodically carries out stress-
testing of more extreme shocks to calibrate its determination of these other representative scenarios.
The Group has identified and documented key drivers of credit risk and ECL for each portfolio of financial instruments and, using an analysis
of historical data, has estimated relationships between macro-economic variables and credit risk and credit losses.
The predicted relationships between the key indicators and the default and loss rates on various portfolios of financial assets have been
developed by analysing historical data over the past 10 to 15 years.
Measurement of ECL
The key inputs into the measurement of ECL are the term structures of the following variables:
• Probability of Default;
• Loss given default (LGD); and
• Exposure at default (EAD).
To determine lifetime and 12-month PDs, the Group uses the PD tables supplied by Rating Agencies based on the default history of obligors
with the same credit rating. The Group adopts the same approach for unrated investments by mapping its internal risk grades to the
equivalent external credit ratings.
The PDs are recalibrated based on current bond yields and CDS prices, and adjusted to reflect forward-looking information as described
above. Changes in the rating for a counterparty or exposure lead to a change in the estimate of the associated PD.
LGD is the magnitude of the likely loss if there is a default. The Group estimates LGD parameters based on the history of recovery rates of
claims against defaulted counterparties. The LGD models consider the structure, collateral, seniority of the claim, counterparty industry and
recovery costs of any collateral that is integral to the financial asset. For loans secured by retail property, loan-to-¬value ratios are a key
parameter in determining LGD. LGD estimates are recalibrated for different economic scenarios. They are calculated on a discounted cash
flow basis using the effective interest rate as the discounting factor.
EAD represents the expected exposure in the event of a default. The Group derives the EAD from the current exposure to the counterparty
and potential changes to the current amount allowed under the contract, including amortisation, and prepayments. The EAD of a financial
asset is its gross carrying amount.
As described above, and subject to using a maximum of a 12-month PD for financial assets for which credit risk has not significantly
increased, the Group measures ECL considering the risk of default over the maximum contractual period (including any borrower’s extension
options) over which it is exposed to credit risk, even if, for risk management purposes, the Group considers a longer period. Where
modelling of a parameter is carried out on a collective basis, the financial instruments are grouped on the basis of shared risk characteristics,
which include:
• instrument type;
• credit risk grading;
• collateral type;
• date of initial recognition;
• remaining term to maturity; industry; and
• geographic location of the borrower.
The groupings are subject to regular review to ensure that exposures within a particular group remain appropriately homogeneous.
When ECL are measured using parameters based on collective modelling, a significant input into the measurement of ECL is the external
benchmark information that the Group uses to derive the default rates of its portfolios. This includes the PDs provided in the [Rating Agency
N] default study and the LGDs provided in the [Rating Agency ll] recovery studies.
The ECL of operating lease receivables are determined at country level using a provision matrix. Loss rates are calculated with reference to
days past due and actual credit loss experience over the past five years and are multiplied by scalar factors to incorporate forward-looking
information.
Modification of contracts
The Group rarely renegotiates or otherwise modifies the contractual cash flows of securities. When this happens, the Group assesses whether
or not the new terms are substantially different to the original terms. The Group does this by considering, among others, the following factors:
If the terms are substantially different, the Group derecognises the original financial asset and recognised a ‘new’ asset at fair value and
recalculates a new EIR for the asset. The date of renegotiation is consequently considered the date of initial recognition for impairment
calculation purposes, including the purpose of determining whether a SICR has occurred.
If the terms are not substantially different, the renegotiation or modification does not result in derecognition, and the Group recalculates the
gross carrying amount based on the revised cash flows of the financial asset and recognises a modification gain or loss in profit or loss. The
new gross carrying amount is recalculated by discounting the modified cash flows at the original EIR.
Write off policy
The Group writes off financial assets, in whole or in part when it has exhausted all practical recovery effort and has concluded that there is
no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include
The Group may write-off financial assets that are still subject to enforcement activity. There were no write offs such assets during the year
ended 31 December 2018. (2017 – nil). The Group still seeks to recover amounts it is legally owed in full, but which have been partially
written off due to no reasonable expectation of full recovery
Accounting policies applied until 31 December 2017
The Group has applied IFRS 9 retrospectively, but has elected not to restate comparative information. As a result, the comparative information
provided continues to be accounted for in accordance with the Group’s previous accounting policy.
The classification depended on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Management determined the classification of its
investments at initial recognition and, in the case of assets classified as held-to-maturity, re-evaluated this designation at the end of each
reporting period.
Subsequent measurement
The measurement at initial recognition did not change on adoption of IFRS 9, see description above.
Subsequent to the initial recognition, loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments were carried at amortised cost using the
effective interest method.
Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at FVPL were subsequently carried at fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes
in the fair value were recognised as follows:
When securities classified as available-for-sale were sold, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognised in other comprehensive income
were reclassified to profit or loss as gains and losses from investment securities.
Impairment
The Group assessed at the end of each reporting period whether there was objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial
assets was impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets was impaired and impairment losses were incurred only if there was
objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and
that loss event (or events) had an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that could be
reliably estimated. In the case of equity investments classified as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the
security below its cost was considered an indicator that the assets are impaired.
The Group derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers
the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Group neither transfers nor
retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognizes its retained
interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognize the financial asset.
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases.
Payments made under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid
if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the
obligation can be estimated reliably.
The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would flow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the reporting
date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. For this purpose, the carrying amount of investment property
measured at fair value is presumed to be recovered through sale. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if certain criteria are met.

Dividends payable to the Group’s shareholders are charged to equity in the period in which they are declared. Proposed dividends are
shown as a separate component of equity until declared.
