Independent auditor’s report on financial statements

TheShareholders, Board of Directors and OfficersAustral Seguradora S.A.Rio de Janeiro - RJ

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Austral Seguradora S.A. (“Insurer”), which comprise thestatement of financial position as at December 31, 2017, and the related statements of profit or loss, ofcomprehensive income, of changes in equity, and of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes tothe financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting practices.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, thefinancial position of Austral Seguradora S.A. as at December 31, 2017, its financial performance andits cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazilapplicable to entities under Brazil’s Private Insurance Supervisory Office (SUSEP) supervision.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Brazilian and international standards on auditing.Our responsibilities, under those standards, are further described in the “Auditor’s responsibilities foraudit of financial statements" section of our report. We are independent of the Company and complywith the relevant ethical principles set forth in the Code of Professional Ethics for Accountants and theprofessional standards issued by Brazil’s National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (CFC),and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. Webelieve that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to support our opinion.

Other information accompanying the financial statements and the auditor’s report

Management is responsible for such other information that is included in the Management Report.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the Management Report and we do notexpress any form of audit conclusion thereon.

In connection with the audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the managementreport and, in so doing, consider whether this report is materially inconsistent with the financialstatements or with our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appear to contain materialmisstatements. If, based on our work, we conclude that there is a material misstatement in themanagement report, we are required to report this fact. We have nothing to report in respect of thismatter.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the financialstatements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements inaccordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil applicable to entities under SUSEPsupervision, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable thepreparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud orerror.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Insurer’s ability tocontinue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using thegoing concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or tocease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Insurer’s financial reportingprocess.

Auditor’s responsibilities for audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a wholeare free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report thatincludes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee thatan audit conducted in accordance with Brazilian and International standards on auditing will alwaysdetect material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and areconsidered material if they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of usersmade on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of the audit conducted in accordance with Brazilian and International standards on auditing,we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. Wealso:

· Identify and assess risks of material misstatements of the financial statements, whether due to fraudor error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidencethat is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting amaterial misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than one resulting from error, as fraud mayinvolve override of internal controls, collusion, forgery, intentional omissions or misrepresentations.

· Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit proceduresthat are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on theeffectiveness of the Insurer’s internal control.

· Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accountingestimates and related disclosures made by management.

· Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accountingand, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events orconditions that may cast substantial doubt as to the Insurer’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’sreport to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, tomodify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of ourauditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Insurer to cease to continue asa going concern.

· Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the corresponding transactions andevents in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the plannedscope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies ininternal controls that we identify during our audit.

Authorization to complete the preparation of the financial statements was granted by Insurermanagement on February 26, 2018.

c) Functional and reporting currency

The Insurer’s functional currency is the Real (R$). This is the currency of the main economicenvironment in which the Insurer operates. Transactions in foreign currency are initiallytranslated at the exchange rate to the functional currency at the transaction date. Monetaryassets and liabilities stated in foreign currency are translated into the functional currency atthe exchange rate in force at the closing date of the statement of financial position.Differences arising from the translation are posted directly against P&L for the year.

d) Measurement basis

The amounts in the financial statements are stated in Brazilian reais (R$), rounded tothousands (R$000), unless otherwise stated, and were prepared on a historical cost basis,except for the following material items recognized in the statement of financial position:

· Financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss.

· Financial assets available for sale measured at fair value.

· Technical reserves, measured in accordance with SUSEP guidelines.

· Receivables.

2. Preparation and presentation of financial statements (Continued)

d) Measurement basis (Continued)

As allowed by CPC no 11 – Insurance Contracts, the Insurer applied accounting practicesadopted in Brazil on its insurance contracts, in accordance with the standards issued byCNSP and by SUSEP.

Preparation of the financial statements requires that management make judgments indetermining and recording accounting estimates.

Significant assets and liabilities subject to these estimates and assumptions include, amongothers, the evaluation of insurance contract liabilities, fair value measurement of financialassets, impairment testing of non-financial assets, provision for contingencies and deferredtaxes.

Settlement of transactions involving these estimates may present changes in relation to theestimated amount due to uncertainties inherent in their estimate process, as mentioned inNote 4.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies

The significant accounting practices adopted in the preparation of these financial statements aredescribed below. These policies were consistently applied to all comparative years presented.

a) Cash and cash equivalents

These include cash and positive balances in checking accounts, with insignificant risk ofchange in fair value, and are used by the Insurer to manage its short-term commitments.

b) Financial assets

Classification depends on the purpose for which each financial asset was acquired.Management determines the classification of financial assets on the initial acquisition dateand reassesses their classification at least at the statement of financial position date. TheCompany classifies its financial assets in accordance with the categories under CPC no 38 –Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement:

I) Securities measured at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through P&L are financial assets held for trading. Afinancial asset is classified in this category if it was acquired particularly to be sold in theshort term, and is initially recognized at fair value. These assets are measured atrestated cost, plus yields, and subsequently measured at fair value, with changes in fairvalue posted directly to P&L for the period. Transaction costs incurred in the acquisitionof financial assets classified under this category are immediately posted to P&L for theperiod as incurred. Securities under this category are classified as current assets,irrespective of their maturity dates.

II) Securities available for sale

The Insurer classifies in this category all non-derivative financial assets not designated inthe previous category. After initial recognition, they are measured at fair value and anychanges other than those arising from impairment are recognized under othercomprehensive income and stated in equity. When an investment is derecognized,accumulated gains and losses in other comprehensive income are transferred to P&L.

III) Receivables

Receivables are non-derivative financial assets, with fixed or determinable payments,not quoted in an active market. They are recorded under current assets, except thosewith maturity exceeding twelve months from the statement of financial position date(classified as noncurrent assets). Receivables arising from insurance contracts, such asbalance of premiums receivable from policyholders, are classified by the Insurer underthis category, initially measured at fair value and, subsequently, at amortized cost lessprovision for impairment. In practice, receivables are usually recognized at the amountbilled when the policy is issued, adjusted by provision for impairment, if necessary.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

c) Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments designated as hedge operations are initially recognized atfair value on the date on which the derivative instrument is taken out, and subsequentlyrestated at fair value also.

Upon initial recognition of a hedge operation, the Insurer formally classifies and documentsthe hedge contract to which it intends to apply hedge accounting, as well as management’srisk management objective and strategy to implement the hedge. The documentationincludes identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item or transaction, the natureof the hedged risk, the nature of the risks excluded from the hedging relationship, theprospective statement of effectiveness of the hedging relationship and how the Insurer willevaluate the effectiveness of the hedging instrument to offset exposure to changes in the fairvalue of the hedged item.

d) Recognition and measurement of insurance and reinsurance contracts

Insurance contracts are those wherein the Insurer accepts the significant insurance risk ofanother party (the policyholder), agreeing to pay insurance indemnity to policyholders in caseof a specific uncertain future event (the insured event), with adverse effect on thepolicyholder. Generally, the Insurer determines whether the insurance risk is significant bycomparing premiums received with losses payable, had the insured event taken place.

The insurance premiums and acquisition costs are recorded when the policies are issued oron the policy effective date, whichever occurs first, and the earned premium is recognized inP&L according to lapse of the period of effectiveness of the risk covered.

The accepted co-insurance operations and those carried out through DPVAT are recordedbased on information received from other insurance companies and from Seguradora Líderdos Consórcios do Seguro DPVAT S.A., respectively.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

d) Recognition and measurement of insurance and reinsurance contracts (Continued)

Reinsurance assets consist of receivables from reinsurers in the short and long terms,depending on the time expected for realization or receipt of assets from reinsurers.Reinsurance assets are consistently valued with insurance liabilities submitted to reinsuranceand with the terms and conditions of each contract. Liabilities payable to reinsurers comprisemainly premiums payable under reinsurance contracts. Any gains or losses from reinsurancecontracts are amortized over the duration of the contracted risks.

Reinsurance premiums ceded are recorded when the policies are issued or on the policyeffective date, whichever occurs first, and allocated to P&L according to lapse of the periodof effectiveness of the risk covered. The deferral of the reinsurance premium ceded isconsistent with the related insurance premium.

The Insurer analyzes the recoverability of reinsurance assets on a regular basis. When thereis objective evidence of impairment, the Insurer tests reinsurance assets for impairment andimmediately recognizes any loss in P&L for the period.

For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, there was no need to record provision forimpairment of the Insurer’s reinsurance assets.

e) Insurance liabilities

The Insurer relied on the CPC no 11 – Insurance Contracts guidance to evaluate insurancecontracts, applying the rules on minimum procedures to evaluate insurance contracts,e.g. liability adequacy test, assessment of the recoverable amount of reinsurance assets,adequacy of the retention limit adopted, among other applicable policies.

Also, management did not identify any situations in which excessive caution was used toevaluate insurance contracts according to accounting practices adopted in Brazil applicableto entities under SUSEP supervision.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

e) Insurance liabilities (Continued)

The technical reserves for guarantee the insurance contracts are set up according toaccounting practices adopted in Brazil, applicable to insurers authorized by SUSEP tooperate insurance contracts covering damages, and are in accordance with the guidelines ofCNSP and SUSEP, disclosed in CNSP Ruling No. 321, of July 15, 2015, as amended, andSUSEP Circular No. 517, of July 30, 2015, as amended.

For each technical reserve specified below, the actuary in charge prepared an actuarial notedescribing the calculation method adopted.

Unearned premium reserve (PPNG)

Pursuant to SUSEP Circular No. 517, of July 30, 2015, and subsequent amendments, thisreserve is set up to cover payables related to claims and expenses to be incurred, whilepolicies remain effective, regarding risks undertaken on the calculation evaluated date,subject to the criteria set forth in the referred to Circular.

The Unearned Premium Reserve for Policies in Force but not Issued (PPNG-RVNE) is set upto cover losses to be incurred, considering indemnities and related expenses while thepolicies remain effective, regarding policies in force at the calculation evaluated date, but notissued by the Insurer.

The calculation method adopted by the Insurer is based on the choice of an average delayfactor in accordance with an analysis of rates of delay identified in the Insurer's portfolio. Thisdelay factor is applied on PPNG of policies in force and already issued, resulting in theunearned premium reserve for policies in force but not issued (PPNG-RVNE). In addition, theInsurer individually addresses cases of large insurance policies already known by theunderwriters of each line of business, but not yet issued.

This calculation methodology enables the reserve to be quickly adjusted to any inconsistencydetected in the reserve consistency test for previous months.

Reserve for DPVAT administrative expense

This is set up in light of the amounts reported solely by Seguradora Líder dos Consórcios doSeguro DPVAT S.A.

e) Insurance liabilities (Continued)

Outstanding claims reserve (PSL)

This is recorded on a monthly basis to cover expected payables for unpaid reported claims tothe calculation evaluated date, including administrative and legal claims. PSL includesmonetary restatement, interest, exchange rate variation and contractual fines, whennecessary. For claims relating to the financial risks group, the Insurer estimates refunds inview of the likelihood of success in the enforcement of its counter-guarantee agreements.

The outstanding claims reserve for DPVAT is set up in light of the amounts reported solely bySeguradora Líder dos Consórcios do Seguro DPVAT S.A.

Incurred but not reported claims reserve (IBNR)

This is set up to cover amounts expected to be settled related to claims incurred but notreported to the calculation evaluated date, including accepted co-insurance operations, grossof reinsurance operations and net of ceded co-insurance operations. For calculation of IBNR,the Insurer adopts the percentages informed in SUSEP Circular No. 517, of July 30, 2015, asthe results of consistency tests are satisfactory and the monthly reserves are sufficient tocover delays in claims observed by the Insurer.

Once the Insurer presents a mature database that allows the statistical calculation of theIBNR, a specific methodology will be used for all business lines in which it operates. Inaddition to the amount determined above, the final IBNR amount may be increased by anadditional portion of the expected loss for the group of financial risks. This portion should bereported by the respective areas involved with all the expectations not yet classified asclaims informed to the Insurer.

Incurred but not Reported Claims Reserve (IBNR) for DPVAT is set up in light of the amountsreported solely by Seguradora Líder dos Consórcios do Seguro DPVAT S.A.

Related expenses reserve (PDR)

This is set up on a monthly basis to cover expenses related to payment of indemnities,comprising both expenses that can be assigned individually to each claim and expenses thatcan only be related to claims as a group.

f) Deferred acquisition costs

Expenses incurred with brokerage are recorded when the policies are issued or on the policyeffective date, whichever occurs first, and allocated to P&L according to lapse of the periodof effectiveness of the risk covered. These expenses are deferred through the methodologyused for deferral of the related insurance premium.

The average insurance line deferral periods are as follows:

h) Property and equipment

Property and equipment items are measured at historical cost, less accumulateddepreciation. The historical cost includes expenses directly attributable to acquisition ofitems. Costs subsequently incurred are included in the carrying amount of the asset orrecognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, if, and only if it is probable that futureeconomic benefits associated with the item will flow to the entity and the cost of the item canbe measured reliably. The carrying amount of those items or parts that are replaced isderecognized. All other repair and maintenance costs are posted against P&L for the year,as incurred.

Depreciation of other assets is calculated using the straight-line method.

The carrying amount of an asset is immediately discounted to its recoverable amount whenthe carrying amount exceeds the estimated recoverable amount.

i) Intangible assets

Costs associated with the maintenance of software are recognized as expenses, as incurred.Development costs of third-party software that is directly used by the Insurer are recognizedas intangible assets whenever the following criteria are met:

· Software completion is technically feasible so that it is available for use.

· Management intends to complete the software and use it.

· It is possible to prove that it is likely that the software will generate future economicbenefits.

· Appropriate technical, financial and other resources are available to complete the softwaredevelopment so that it can be used.

· The expenditure attributable to the software development can be reliably measured.

i) Intangible assets (Continued)

Directly attributable costs capitalized as a portion of the software product includedevelopment costs and an appropriate portion of applicable direct expenses.

Other development costs that do not meet these criteria are recognized as expense, asincurred. Development costs previously recognized as expense are not recognized in assetsin subsequent periods.

The software development costs recognized as assets are amortized throughout theirestimated useful lives.

j) Impairment of financial assets

Upon closing of the statement of financial position, the Insurer assesses whether there isobjective evidence that a certain financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. Anasset or group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if thereis objective evidence of impairment in connection with one or more events after initialrecognition of the assets.

k) Assets recorded at amortized cost

When there is clear evidence of impairment of the assets recorded at amortized cost, theamount of loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset andthe present value of future estimated cash flows (excluding future expected losses on creditnot yet incurred), discounted at the original effective interest rate of the financial asset. Thecarrying amount of the asset is reduced, and the amount of loss is recognized in P&L.

The Insurer initially assesses individually each financial asset that is individually significantas to whether there is clear evidence of impairment, or in groups, for financial assets that arenot individually significant. If it concludes that there is no actual evidence of impairment of afinancial asset individually tested, whether or not significant, the asset is included in a groupof financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and is jointly tested for impairment.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

k) Assets recorded at amortized cost (Continued)

Any loss in the recoverable amount is always assessed at the year-end closing date.

For impairment purposes, the Insurer designates unearned insurance premiums based oneconomic studies of losses, risks of default, among others. The provision for impairment isrecorded when necessary, according to SUSEP Circular No. 517, of July 30, 2015.

If, in a subsequent period, there is decrease in impairment loss clearly related to an eventtaking place after recognition of said loss, this impairment previously recognized is reversed.Any subsequent impairment reversal is recognized in P&L to the extent that the assetcarrying amount does not exceed its respective amortized cost as of the reversal date.

l) Income and social contribution taxes

Current tax assets and liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2017 and prior years aremeasured at the estimated amount recoverable from or payable to tax authorities. Incometax was calculated based on P&L for the period, at the rate of 25%. Social contribution taxwas calculated based on P&L for the period, at 20%, adjusted for additions and exclusionsprovided in tax legislation in force.

Deferred income and social contribution taxes reflect the effects of temporary differences asof the statement of financial position date between tax bases of assets and liabilities andtheir carrying amounts.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, unused taxcredits and tax losses to the extent that it is probable that temporary differences will bereversed in a near future and taxable profit will be available so that the deductible temporarydifferences may be realized and unused tax credits and losses may be used.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

l) Deferred income and social contribution taxes (Continued)

Temporary differences will be used to reduce or increase future taxable profits. The Insurerevaluates, on a semiannual basis, the amount of deferred income and social contribution taxassets in relation to its operating performance and projected taxable profit, and, whennecessary, reduces the expected realizable value.

m) Liability adequacy test

As required by Accounting Pronouncement CPC no 11 – Insurance Contracts, at eachstatement of financial valuation date, the Insurer evaluates the obligations in connection withthe insurance contracts in force as of the reporting date by means of the liability adequacytest. SUSEP set and defined the rules for preparation of this test by way of SUSEP CircularNo. 517, of July 30, 2015, and subsequent amendments and guidelines.

The liability adequacy test does not apply to DPVAT-related insurance contracts and wasconducted with caution and objectivity, considering use of applicable, appropriate andsignificant statistical and actuarial methods, based on updated and true information andrealistic considerations.

Briefly, the liability adequacy test is determined by the difference between current estimatesof cash flows and total book balance of technical reserves at the test reporting date, lessdeferred acquisition costs and intangible assets directly related to the technical reserves.

The Insurer prepared a methodology that represents the best estimate of all future cashflows by using current, realistic and unbiased assumptions for each variable involved in theliability adequacy test. Pursuant to SUSEP Circular No. 517, of July 30, 2015, andsubsequent amendments, estimated cash flows in the liability adequacy test are gross ofreinsurance amounts.

The Insurer presents asset and liability flows only in domestic currency and in US dollar.Consequently, ANBIMA’s fixed risk-free ETTJ index, disclosed by SUSEP, was applied forcash flow estimates at nominal values. Similarly, the dollar exchange coupon curve,disclosed by SUSEP, was applied for dollar-based cash flow estimates.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

m) Liability adequacy test (Continued)

The liability adequacy test for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 indicated thatthe booked reserves, net of deferred acquisition costs and related intangible assets, aresufficient to secure the expected present value of cash flows in connection with compliancewith insurance contracts.

In addition, the comparison between the booked PPNG, net of deferred acquisition costs andrelated intangible assets, and the present value of flow of losses to be incurred by the Insurershowed no need to record a supplementary reserve.

n) Other provisions, contingent assets and liabilities

Pursuant to CPC no 25 - Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, a provisionfor labor, civil and tax contingencies is recognized when there is a present legal orconstructive obligation as a result of past events, whose amounts can be reliably estimated,and the settlement of which is expected to result in an outflow of funds. When any of thesecharacteristics is not met, the Company does not recognize a provision. Provisions arerecorded based on a number of individual analyses, made by the Insurer’s legal advisors, ofadministrative and legal proceedings pending judgment and based on the likelihood of anunfavorable outcome leading to future outflow of funds. An increase in liability due to lapse oftime is recognized as financial expenses.

Contingent assets, if any, are not recognized until the Insurer is awarded a final favorabledecision, and when the likelihood of asset realization is considered probable.

o) Determination of profit and loss (P&L)

Profit and loss is determined on an accrual basis, considering that insurance premiums arerecorded on the date policies are issued or at the policy effective date, whichever occurs first.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

o) Determination of profit and loss (P&L) (Continued)

Insurance premiums and the related acquisition costs are recognized in P&L according tolapse of the period of effectiveness of the risk covered. Insurance premium revenues areposted to P&L when the related insurance policies are issued or at the policy effective date,whichever occurs first, and deferred for allocation, on a straight-line basis, during validity ofthe policies by setting up and reversing the Unearned Premium Reserve (PPNG). Premiumsreferring to reinsurance contracts are recorded in P&L as reinsurance premiums ceded anddeferred for allocation through set-up and reversal of Unearned Premium Reserve (PPNG),according to the methodology described in actuarial note.

p) Earnings per share

In compliance with CPC no 41 – Earnings per Share, the Insurer presents basic and dilutedearnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. Basic earnings pershare are calculated by dividing P&L for the year, attributed to the Insurer commonshareholders, by the number of shares outstanding on the date. As of December 31, 2017and 2016, the Insurer had no preferred shares.

Earnings per thousand shares are stated in P&L for the year. To calculate diluted earningsper share, the Insurer adjusts profit attributable to common shareholders (common stock) ofthe Insurer, as well as the weighted average number of total (outstanding) shares held by theshareholder, to reflect the effects of all potential dilutive common shares.

The purpose of diluted earnings per share is to provide a measure of the participation ofeach common share in the Insurer’s performance and, at the same time, to reflect the effectsof all potential dilutive common shares outstanding in the period.

q) Share-based payment

Share-based payment to Insurer executives is measured and recognized at fair value as ofthe date options are granted, in a specific account in equity and in the statement of profit orloss, as contractual conditions are met. The cost of transactions settled in shares isrecognized over the year in which conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date the employeebecomes entitled to the premium (vesting date). The cumulative expense recognized throughthe vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Insurer’sbest estimate of the number of shares to be acquired.

r) Standards, amendments and interpretations of existing standards that are not yet effectiveand were not early adopted by the Company

CPC no 48 (IFRS 9) - Financial Instruments was issued in December 2016 and is the firststep in the project to replace IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition andMeasurement". CPC no 48 includes new models for classification and measurement offinancial instruments and the measurement of expected credit losses for financial andcontractual assets, as well as new hedge accounting requirements. The standard will beeffective for years beginning on or after January 1, 2018, but has not yet been approved bySUSEP.

CPC no 47 (IFRS 15) - Revenue from contracts with customers: the CPC issued in May 2014the new pronouncement on revenue recognition, converged to this new pronouncement,which has mandatory adoption for the years beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with fullor modified retrospective approach.This new pronouncement creates a single standard for revenue recognition applicable to allcompanies in all industries, except insurance contracts. The creation of a single standardrepresents a significant change in the current practice, which contains various specificliteratures for industries and transactions. IFRS 15 was approved by SUSEP through SUSEPCircular No. 561/17, but there are no significant impacts on the Company.

IFRS 17 - Insurance Contracts was issued in May 2017 and establishes principles forrecognition, measurement and presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts issued. Italso requires similar principles to be applied to reinsurance contracts held and investmentcontracts issued with discretionary participation characteristics. The objective is to ensurethat entities provide relevant information in a way that faithfully represents such contracts.IFRS 17 is applicable as of January 1, 2021, and early adoption is permitted.

The Company did not adopt these changes in the preparation of these financial statements,and there are no efforts for its early adoption. There are no other IFRS standards orinterpretations not yet effective that could have a significant impact on the Company.

4. Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain accounting estimates and ahigh level of management judgment in using certain accounting practices. Nevertheless,uncertainty associated with those estimates and assumptions could lead to results that wouldrequire significant adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in futureperiods.

In applying the accounting practices, management made the following judgments, in addition tothose involving estimates and assumptions, whose significant effects were recognized in thefinancial statements.

a) Evaluation of insurance contract liabilities

As permitted by CPC no 11 - Insurance Contracts, the Insurer applied the accountingpractices generally accepted in Brazil to its insurance contracts. The technical reserves thatrepresent the insurance contract liabilities of the Insurer’s lines are as follows: unearnedpremium reserve for policies in force and already issued (PPNG-RVE), unearned premiumreserve for policies in force but not issued (PPNG-RVNE), outstanding claims reserve (PSL),incurred but not reported claims reserve (IBNR), and related expenses reserve (PDR).

Insurer’s reserves are determined based on methodologies known in the Brazilian insurancemarket, in compliance with all SUSEP requirements. The behavior of the Insurer's insuranceportfolio is monitored on a monthly basis in order to foresee and define proper criteria formeasurement of reserves.

b) Reserve for recovery of insurance, co-insurance and reinsurance assets

These reserves are recorded under SUSEP Circular No. 517, of July 30, 2015, and set up atan amount deemed sufficient to cover probable losses on receivables from insurance, co-insurance and reinsurance.

c) Useful life of property and equipment and intangible assets

Depreciation or amortization of property and equipment and intangible assets considersmanagement’s best estimate of the use of these assets during operations. Changes in theeconomic scenario and/or consumer market may require that the estimated useful life bereviewed.

4. Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions (Continued)

d) Impairment of non-financial assets

Management reviews the net carrying amount of assets on a monthly basis, so as to assessevents or changes in economic, operating or technological circumstances that may indicatedeterioration or impairment. When such evidence is identified and the net carrying amountexceeds the recoverable amount, a provision for impairment is set up by adjusting the netcarrying amount to the recoverable amount. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, there wasno indication of impairment of non-financial assets.

e) Provisions for contingencies

The Insurer is exposed to legal, civil and labor claims arising from the ordinary course ofbusiness, and the assessment of related risks involves considerable judgment bymanagement. As a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefitswill be required to settle the obligation and a reasonable estimate can be made of theamount of that obligation.

Assessment of the likelihood of loss includes analysis of available evidence, the hierarchy oflaws, available case law, the most recent court decisions and their relevance in the legalsystem, as well as the opinion of outside legal advisors.

Provisions are reviewed and adjusted to take into consideration changes in circumstances,such as applicable statutes of limitation, conclusion from tax audits or additional exposuresidentified based on new matters or court decisions. Actual results could differ from estimates.

Settlement of transactions involving these estimates may result in amounts significantlydifferent from those recorded in the financial statements due to uncertainties inherent in theestimate process. The Insurer reviews its estimates and assumptions on a monthly basis.

At December 31, 2017, the Insurer had no labor or tax contingency, and had only civilcontingencies for which provisions were set up under the Outstanding Claims Reserve (PSL)- legal.

5. Insurance and financial risk management

a) Insurance risk management

The main risk for the Insurer in insurance contracts consists of claim payments notcorresponding to expectations. This is influenced by the frequency of claims, their severity,amounts actually paid and history of long-term claims. Accordingly, the Insurer seeks toensure that sufficient reserves are available to cover these liabilities.

The aforesaid risk exposure is reduced by diversifying the portfolio in light of a judiciousanalysis of the risk acceptance, with implementation of healthy and prudent guidelines on theunderwriting strategy, as well as regular monitoring for possible adjustments.

The Insurer underwrites insurance listed in the table below, considering technical risk factors.For risk pricing purposes, in order to obtain consistent and stable results that are positiveboth individually and for the portfolio, the Insurer makes it a policy to underwrite insuranceand adopt operating procedures for risk assessment. A pricing model is used following therisk management assumptions. It is worth highlighting that the procedure includes thedecision-making level regime, the documents of which are formally approved and dulydisclosed to all levels involved.

The Insurer acquires reinsurance as part of its risk reduction program. The cededreinsurance is taken out on a proportional and non-proportional basis.

The following table presents the concentration of business risks by region and portfolio,based on the written premium amount, gross and net of reinsurance.

5. Insurance and financial risk management (Continued)

b) Financial risk management

The Insurer’s investment policy sets forth the guidelines to allocate the funds to marketablesecurities, as well as to monitor the risks inherent in its investment portfolio.

The investments rely on analysis of short-, medium- and long-term macroeconomicscenarios, observing the key variables of the Brazilian and global economy, such asexpectations of changes in interest, inflation and exchange rates, and economic growth,among others.

The Insurer’s investment decisions consider cash needs and the matching between assetsand liabilities following a conservative position in relation to counterparties’ credit andinvestments made. The financial investment risks are managed through daily analysis andmonitoring of the portfolio.

The Insurer has an Investment Committee that meets to analyze the portfolio performance,draw up prospective scenarios and thus set the overall guidelines for investments in theupcoming months.

c) Credit risk

This consists of losses resulting from agreed financial obligations not met by thecounterparties. The credit risk analyses are based on ratings determined by credit ratingagencies.

The Insurer conducts business with local, admitted and occasional reinsurers that are well-rated by rating agencies, with the following minimum ratings: Standard & Poor's (A-), FitchMoody's (A2), and A.M Best Company (B++).

Also, the Insurer’s co-insurance exposure is R$2,278, with other insurers as counterparties.This credit risk exposure was calculated in accordance with article 5, Annex I of CNSPRuling No. 321, of July 15, 2015, and subsequent amendments.

d) Market risk

This consists of losses arising from unfavorable variation in the Insurer’s investments.

The market risk control is based on the Value at Risk (VAR) model, which shows the greatestloss expected from an asset or portfolio for a given timeframe and a given likelihood ofoccurrence.

5. Insurance and financial risk management (Continued)

d) Market risk (Continued)

Simultaneously to this control, the Insurer developed a calculation model for market riskcapital based on the principles established in CNSP Ruling No. 321, of July 15, 2015, andsubsequent amendments.

e) Liquidity risk

This refers to the likelihood of a company not being able to honor its payment commitmentsdue to mismatching of deadlines of assets and liabilities. Management has daily visibility ofthe Insurer’s portfolio, and regularly discusses the position of investments in its meetings, oron an ad hoc basis, when necessary, considering their liquidity and expected profitability.

The Insurer adopts a conservative approach regarding financial assets, considered as thesum of cash and cash equivalents plus short-term investments, prioritizing liquidity capacityat all times when choosing its financial assets, based on obligations to the counterparties.Currently, 67% (64% at December 31, 2016) of the Insurer´s portfolio was held in bankdeposits, LFT, NTN-B, and other securities with daily liquidity despite their maturity.Investment fund shares related to DPVAT account for 26% (26% at December 31, 2016) ofthe portfolio (these funds may only be invested in government bonds which, as alreadymentioned, are immediately redeemable). Furthermore, 4% (5% at December 31, 2016) offinancial assets comprise other investment funds with redemption term within 120 days.

We stress that the Insurer blocks assets accepted by the National Monetary Council to covertechnical reserves, in addition to 20% of risk capital, maintaining a liquidity position in relationto risk capital, as set forth in CNSP Resolution No. 321, of July 15, 2015.

f) Sensitivity analysis

The Insurer’s risk monitoring policy includes the periodical analysis of its investment portfolioin order to assess its volatility, through changes that could lead to significant changes in P&L.

According to Vinci Gestora de Recursos Ltda., the Insurer's fund administrator, suchinvestments led to an exposure whose parametric Value at Risk (VAR) with 95% confidencelevel, one-business-day timeframe and a 252-business-day history was 0.09% of the portfolioassets or 0.17% with 99% confidence level. The Insurer´s analysis also considers itsinvestment portfolio performance under stress scenarios of the major risk factors underlyingits assets, as follows:

· Forward yield curve structure of the Extended Consumer Price Index (IPCA): variation of300 base points or 3% on an equal basis in all of the forward yield curve vertices of theinflation forward curve - IPCA - inferred by the yield curve of National Treasury Notes(NTN-B).

· Foreign exchange: variation of 10% in the foreign exchange rate.

Loss ratio

In addition to the scenarios described above, the loss ratio observed in the business lineshas a direct impact on P&L reported at December 31, 2017.

In order to perform a loss ratio sensitivity test, a 10% increase in reported claims of the last 12months by line of business was adopted. This loss ratio test was limited to a minimum amount of10% of the earned premium, determined by line of business in the last 12 months. The amountsused are net of ceded co-insurance operations and gross of accepted coinsurance operations.Thus, it is possible to calculate the impact on the Insurer's P&L with these new amounts of claimsand, consequently, possible changes in claims incurred but not reported (IBNR).

An actuarial audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts ofreserves and reinsurance assets recorded in the financial statements and the schedules showingminimum capital, amounts recorded as a reduction of the reserve coverage required, solvency andretention limits.
