Chairman:Shozo Wakabayashi

President:

Hideo Suzuki

First, we offer our deepest condolences to victims of the Great East Japan Earthquake andexpress our heartfelt sympathy to all those affected by the disaster.
Japan Earthquake Reinsurance Co., Ltd. (JER) was founded in 1966 as the only company
in Japan permitted to exclusively handle reinsurance for earthquake insurance on dwellingrisks. For more than 40 years since then, we have been underwriting the dwelling risk ofearthquakes in Japan in alliance with the Japanese government and non-life insurancecompanies. As the core entity in this sector, we have not only been committed to bolstering
and upgrading the system of our reinsurance payment, but also to providing our best care to
managing and operating the assets that support the system.
Natural disasters such as major earthquakes and major volcanic eruptions have occurredin countries around the world. In Japan, the Great East Japan Earthquake that struck on
March 11 measured 9.0 on the Richter scale, making it the largest earthquake in recorded
Japanese history. The earthquake triggered a devastating tsunami, which hit a wide area
including the Tohoku and Kanto districts.
JER established emergency headquarters immediately after the earthquake and have since
been making comprehensive efforts to respond to the situation. For example, we have been
selling assets to enable the early payment of reinsurance and have for the first time applieda system for payment of the approximate amount of earthquake reinsurance.
Because this was the greatest disaster on record, people’s expectations and concerns about
earthquake insurance will rise, and our company will take on increasingly important roles
and responsibilities in the earthquake insurance system. We are aware that we must be evenmore prudent in our management approach.
In these circumstances, we will play an active role in enhancing and developing the earthquake insurance system and will strive to become company that is even more reliable andtrustworthy for its stakeholders.
We have prepared this annual report to provide our stakeholders with insight into the current
situation and activities of the Company. We welcome any comments or opinions.

EARTHQUAKE INSURANCE
in japan

Establishing the earthquake
insurance system
Japan is well known for its frequent earthquakes. Traditionally, the thinking has been that itis difficult to provide insurance coverage for damage caused by earthquakes. One reason forthis is that nobody can be sure when an earthquake will strike. Another reason is that there isa risk that a major earthquake could cause tremendous damage. Earthquake insurance wasfor many years the subject of a great deal of research and discussion, to little avail. Despite
this, there was considerable public demand for a system of earthquake insurance on dwellingrisks* to enable victims of an earthquake who have lost their homes or property rebuild theirlife. Responding to this demand, the non-life insurance business continued to study ways tobuild such a system.
The Niigata Earthquake of June 1964 prompted efforts to establish the system. The government and the non-life insurance sector conducted a detailed examination of the earthquake
insurance system, ultimately leading to the Law concerning Earthquake Insurance. The systemfor earthquake insurance on dwelling risks was built based on this law and Japan Earthquake
Reinsurance Co., Ltd. (JER) was established. We play a key role in taking on full responsibility with the reinsurance of earthquake insurance contracts entered into by non-life insurancecompanies.

Mechanism of the earthquake
insurance system
Earthquake insurance is arranged as an optional rider to fire insurance which covers buildings
for residential use and/or personal property. Earthquake insurance cannot be purchased on its
own. If you conclude a fire insurance contract without earthquake insurance, you are required
to seal the earthquake insurance check column of the fire insurance contract application form.
If you have entered into a fire insurance contract without earthquake insurance, you will beable to buy earthquake insurance while your fire insurance contract is valid. In some areas,
however, if an announcement warning of an earthquake has been made, you may not be able
to buy earthquake insurance.
	Non-life insurance is divided into two groups: insurance in the household risks field taken out by individuals to covervarious risks in the home, and insurance in the corporate risks field taken out by companies to cover various company’s
risks. The same distinction applies to earthquake insurance. Insurance taken out by individuals is called earthquake
insurance on dwelling risks, and the other insurance is called as earthquake insurance for companies.
		The Law concerning Earthquake Insurance targets at earthquake insurance on dwelling risks.

Limit of total amount of insurance claims to be paid
Limit of total amount of insurance claims to be paid* is limited to 5,500 billion yen as revisedin April 2008 per earthquake, etc.. In the event the total amount of insurance claims payable
exceeds the limit, law allows insurance claims per contract to be reduced.

Premium rate
The premium rate for earthquake insurance is calculated by the Non-Life Insurance Rating
Organization of Ja­pan** on the basis of the Law concerning Non-Life Insurance Rating Organizations. The basic rate of insurance premiums consists of a risk premium rate applicable toor appropriate for the future payment of insurance claims and a loading premium rate applicable to or appropriate for non-life insur­ance company expenses and agency commissions.

Premium rate = Risk premium rate + Loading rate
The Headquarters for Earthquake Research Promotion***, a government organization, published the Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Maps. The risk premium rate is calculated based on
the latest revised damage projection method to cover all earthquakes (number of epicenters:
about 730,000 epicenter model) used in the preparation of the maps that are assumed tohave the potential to cause damage in the future.
The premium rate actually applied is calculated by multiplying the basic rate of the insurance
premium that is set according to the structure of the residential building and the residentialbuilding to accommodate personal property that are subject to insurance and the building
location, by a discount rate set according to the earthquake-resistance capability (for which
certain confirmation documents are required).

Earthquake Disaster Prevention was enacted to develop a system to facilitate research and study on earthquakes, andbased on this Law, the Headquarters for Earthquake Research Promotion was founded in July 1995. In March 2005,
the Headquarters for Earthquake Research Promotion published two kinds of maps as the National Seismic Hazard
Maps for Japan: the Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Map and the Scenario Earthquake Shaking Map.
		The Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Map was revised in July 2010.

Income tax credit system for earthquake insurance
In the tax system revision in fiscal 2006, the old income tax credit for non-life insurance wasrevised, and an income tax credit for earthquake insurance was established to support selfhelp efforts of the public in preparation for earthquake damages. As the revision enables
deductions of up to 50,000 yen and 25,000 yen from the gross income, etc. for the purposesof income tax and the local inhabitant tax, respectively, the purchase of an earthquake insurance policy became easier.

Japan Earthquake Reinsurance Co., Ltd. Annual Report 20119

Reinsurance of earthquake
insurance

Mechanism of reinsurance
In the event that a major earthquake happens, it can result in large payouts of insurance claim
by insurance companies. Because there is a certain limit, however, to the ability of these companies to make payments, the government shares insurance responsibility with them throughreinsurance.
JER reinsures the earthquake insurance contracts underwritten by non-life insurance companies to take on full liability, which we homogenize before we pass on the risk proportionally tothe non-life insurance companies and the government by retrocession according to the limit
indemnity. We take up the remaining indemnity.

Mechanism of payment of
insurance claims
The policyholder claims insurance money to the non-life insurance company when the policyholder suffers a certain loss or damage as a result of an earthquake, etc., and the company
will pay insurance claim to the policyholder.
The non-insurance company which paid an insurance claim to the policyholder will claim thefull amount from JER through reinsurance. JER will pay the reinsurance claim in full to thenon-life insurance company.
This means that the amount of reinsurance claim paid by JER is the same as the amount of
the insurance claim paid to the policyholder by the non-life insurance company.
When a major earthquake occurs, a nonlife insurance company must make a large amountof money ready so that it can pay a large number of insurance claims. To avoid problems inpaying insurance claims, the government has set forth a ministerial ordinance that covers thepayment of reinsurance claims pertaining to earthquake insurance based on a rough estimate,and promptly pays reinsurance claims based on a rough estimate (makes a provisional
payment) through the Company.

ProfileIn accordance with the introduction of the Law concerning Earthquake Insurance (Law No.73,
May 18, 1966) and following the launch of sales of earthquake insurance on dwelling risks to
be written in conjunction with dwelling and shop-owners comprehensive insurance policies,
JER was established with share capital of 1 billion yen by 20 domestic Japanese non-life insurance companies on May 30, 1966. The Company was licensed for the earthquake insurance
business and started its operation on June 1, 1966.
Earthquake insurance on dwelling risks depends on this reinsurance system (which is a safety
net, as it were), in which the government, non-life insurance companies and JER participate toensure that insurance claims can be paid to policyholders without fail.
The insurance premiums paid by policyholders are separated from non-life insurance companies, and are managed and operated by the government and JER.
JER is thus at the center of a reinsurance system, and undertakes reinsurance procedures withthe government and non-life insurance companies, while managing and operating the insurance premiums paid by policyholders as the sole earthquake reinsurance company in Japan.

Responding to major earthquakes
Our most important role is to pay reinsurance claims promptly and properly in the event ofa major earthquake. We are provided therefore with a standing task force against earthquake
disasters, consisting of full-time directors and managerial staff, and conduct annual drills tobolster our system for major earthquakes. We also carefully manage and operate our assets,with a focus on liquidity and safety in mind. See below for details.

Task force against earthquake disasters and its
activities
JER has established the task force against earthquake disasters as a standing in-house organization. Based on annual plans, the task force undertakes training in emergency response andearthquake reinsurance payments, assuming an earthquake with an epicenter directly below
metropolitan Tokyo. For instance, it establishes and reviews an emergency response manual.
In fiscal 2010, JER contracted with external consultants to examine rules, manuals, etc. (Tokio
Marine & Nichido Risk Consulting Co., Ltd.), create a report assuming damages to our company (InterRisk Research Institute & Consulting, Inc.), and provide technical support (NKSJ
Risk Management, Inc.). We also undertook an earthquake drill involving all of our officers
and employees participated assuming an earthquake with an epicenter directly below metropolitan Tokyo.
First Earthquake Drill
JER held its first earthquake drill on January 19th, with a focus on the local disaster response
system of Chuo-ku, Tokyo, where our office is located. We conducted this drill with the cooperation of the Disaster Prevention Section of Chuo-ku and the neighborhood association of
Nihonbashi Kobunacho. The drill included explanations about the disaster response measuresof the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and a tour of Jushi Square, the local disaster preparedness center, and the disaster prevention facilities of Horidome Children’s Park, the tempoJapan Earthquake Reinsurance Co., Ltd. Annual Report 201121

rary evacuation area. We also practiced operation of the safety confirmation and informationtransmission systems.
Second Earthquake Drill
For the second drill on March 10, we invited Nomura Research Institute, Ltd. and undertooka tabletop exercise assuming an earthquake with an epicenter directly below metropolitan
Tokyo and received a lecture on business continuity plans (BCP). In the tabletop exercise, we
simulated how officers and employees would gather in the office after the occurrence of theearthquake.

Operation based on highly liquid assets
Should an earthquake with an epicenter directly below metropolitan Tokyo strike, we would
have to pay a tremendous amount of reinsurance claims in a short period of time. For thisreason, we always hold mainly highly liquid and high-rating securities. To reduce price volatility risks at the time of realization, we hold mainly medium-term securities.

PREPARATIONS FOR DISASTERS
JER has installed in its head office an earthquake alert system provided by the Japan
Meteorological Agency to ensure the safety of visitors, officers, and employees. We havealso made our office resistant to earthquakes by securing office facilities and equipment,
stored emergency supplies in the head office warehouse, and distributed safety shoes, bags
containing emergency goods, and other items to all officers and employees. We thus strive
to ensure business continuity in the event of an earthquake with an epicenter directly below
metropolitan Tokyo.

Committee-based operation
We have established a Compliance Committe and a Comprehensive Risk Management Comittee and positioned them under the direct control of the Board of Managing Directors. Our
aim is to ensure sound and transparent business operations by strengthening the supervisory
function with the construction of compliance and risk management systems. Preparing fora major earthquake calamity, the Company is provided with a task force against earthquake
disasters to facilitate the payment of insurance claims and maintain the funding plan for payment, enabling it to take prompt action in response to large-scale earthquake disasters.
The annual operation policy and operating conditions of each committee is periodically reported to the Board of Managing Directors and Board of Directors.

Auditing and inspection systems
Outside auditing and inspection
The overall management and operations of the Company are subject to inspection by the Financial Services Agency under the Insurance Business Act and inspection by the Ministry of
Finance under the Act on Earthquake Insurance.
We also receive an accounting audit by an auditing corporation in accordance with the Companies Act.
In-house auditing
Apart from the audit conducted by corporate auditors under the Companies Act, the Audit
division conducts in-house audits.
The purpose of an in-house audit is to develop and establish an internal control system.
This is done by conducting an audit to examine and evaluate the execution of plans andactivities in the Company fairly and objectively, and from the standpoint of lawfulness andrationality. It also requires providing the necessary advice and recommendations based on theevaluation, contributing to the sound development of the company and building credibility inthe community.

Japan Earthquake Reinsurance Co., Ltd. Annual Report 201123

In fiscal 2011, we decided based on the “In-House Audit Policy and Plan” adopted by resolution of
the Board of Directors to focus on audits of responses to the revision of the insurance inspection
manual and to conduct regular audits of the internal control conditions of all divisions.
Audit results including recommendations of corrections and improvements are reported to theBoard of Managing Directors and the Board of Directors and communicated to audited divisions.

Risk management system
The construction of an appropriate risk management system is an important issue to ensure
the safety and soundness of management, as surrounding risks are becoming increasingly
complicated and diversified. We have been endeavoring to accurately understand and appropriately manage risks by establishing a comprehensive risk control committee to supervise
risk management. We have also set forth management methods for various risks facing theCompany in the Risk Management Policy and monitor how risks are managed. In addition,
we work to improve risk management by introducing comprehensive risk management toenhance the quantitative and qualitative methods of risk analysis and management.
ASSETS MANAGEMENT RISKS

Risk management relating to asset management is carried out primarily for paying reinsurance
claims promptly and with certainty when there are major earthquakes.
These risks are classified into “market risks” and “credit risks” for the management, andthe management standards are stipulated in the “Standards for Management of Investment
Risks” for each fiscal year.
Market risksMarket risks include interest-rate risk, exchange risk, and price volatility risk. These are
the risks of losses that investors may sustained with fluctuations in the value of financial
assets or debt position due to market trends.
We manage overall market risks both quantitatively and qualitatively. We measure the value
at risk (VaR) of interest rates and currency exchanges as the amount of risks, while also
monitoring the unrealized gain/loss and price changes (responsiveness). We also apply an
upper limit of retention or a loss-cut rule as necessary.
We also have separate divisions for executing transactions and for doing paperwork,
respectively, thereby enabling the supervisory and checking functions to work.
Credit risks
Credit risks are the risks of a reduction in value or the disappearance of assets, which
results when the credit standing of the borrower has weakened, for example.
When purchasing securities, we limit the issuers to those with high credibility with reference
to the credit rating made by rating agencies. We always check securities held to determine
credibility, and conduct individual controls to avoid a concentration on a specific group ofcompanies or type of business. We also measure the credit VaR based on the default rate,
etc. for managing credit risks.

24Japan Earthquake Reinsurance Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2011

LIQUIDITY RISKS

Liquidity risks are the risks of losses that may be caused by failure to ensure the liquidityof assets against debt or by being forced to execute transactions at a disadvantageous pricedue to market turmoil, etc. These risks are important in fulfilling our social mission. We own
sufficient liquid assets by keeping in mind the possibly of having to dispose of all assets in theevent of a major earthquake. We also strive to accurately assess cash flows, thereby managing
funds appropriately.
OPERATIONAL RISKS

Operational risks are classified into “paperwork issues,” “system risk,” and “other risks,” andwe manage these risks as appropriate given the characteristics of each.
Paperwork issues
Paperwork issues are the risks of losses that may be caused by the failure of officers,
employees, or any other members of an organization to do accurate paperwork, orby accidents, fraud, or any other improper acts. We constantly examine the rules andregulations of authority and paperwork procedures and manuals and strive to improve ourtraining programs and educational system, to ensure exact and perfect paperwork. We also
regularly check the rules and regulations through in-house auditing for conformity withrelated laws and regulations.
System risks
System risks are risks of losses that may be caused by system problems such as computer
system failures or glitches or by unauthorized use of a computer.
We strive to protect our information assets appropriately under our Security Policy and
Safety Measure Standards, which we established for preventing leaks of internal information,etc., and as safety measures for our information system. In addition, we have clarified ourmeasures for handling crises by developing the Information System Contingency Plan fordisasters and other emergency situations.
Other risks
As operational risks other than paperwork issues and system risks, we are aware of suchrisks as “human risks” (the risks of losses that may be caused by outflows or losses ofhuman resources) and “rumor risks.” We strive to manage these risks with each responsible
division playing the leading role.
* Underwriting risks are excluded because they are guaranteed under the earthquake insurance
system.

Financial review
The fiscal 2010, the Japanese economy struggled with a difficult employment situation, the rapid appreciation of the yen, and other factors, which offset the effects of government fiscal stimulus and rising demandin emerging countries. In addition, the Great East Japan Earthquake in March seriously affected the Japanese
economy, causing a significant reduction in production activities, for example.
The number of earthquake insurance contracts increased during the year under review, as they did in the previous year. Premiums written also rose from the previous year, backed by factors such as a growing interest inearthquake insurance. The number and amount of earthquake insurance payouts declined from the previous
year, despite insurance payouts for the Surugawan Earthquake in 2009. For the Great East Japan Earthquakethat took place in March, there was no payment of earthquake reinsurance claims for the fiscal year underreview, so we posted a reserve for outstanding claims.
Profits from investments increased from the previous year, reflecting an increase in investment assets, which
offset the decline of interest rates in the first half of the fiscal year and the rapid appreciation of the yen in thesecond half. After the Great East Japan Earthquake, we sold securities to prepare for payment of reinsurance
claims.
Administrative expenses remained flat from the previous year as a result of a commitment to achieve efficientbusiness operations and cut costs as operations expanded.
The fiscal year under review was the second year of our second three-year medium-term business plan. During the year, we played an active role in enhancing and developing the earthquake insurance system and took
action to ensure that we achieved the plan, such as refining our expertise in earthquake insurance operations,bolstering our asset management and risk management, and improving our business continuity plan, aiming todevelop into a company that will be even more reliable and trustworthy for our stakeholders.
(1) Summary of earthquake insurance resultsa. Premiums written and insurance claims paid
Net premiums written amounted to 71.5 billion yen(down 1.0% year on year), reflecting an increase in thereinsurance premiums paid to direct insurance companies and the government, which exceeded the increasein the number of insurance contracts and premiums
written. Insurance claims paid came to 1 billion yen(down 81.4% year on year) due in part to the Surugawan Earthquake in 2009.
b. Risk reserves and underwriting reserves
Risk reserves added amounted to 43.3 billion yen (up2.0% year on year), the total of net premiums writtenof 37.2 billion yen, given by deducting assumed insurance commissions from net premiums written, and a
profit of 6 billion yen from investments.
Risk reserves at the end of the fiscal year under review
were 424.4 billion yen (down 14.6% year on year), reflecting the drawing from risk reserves in the past year
following the payment of ongoing insurance claims of
1 billion yen, the provision of outstanding claims of
114.4 billion yen, as well as advertising and publicity
expenses of 0.1 billion yen.
Underwriting reserves at the end of the fiscal year under review totaled 515.9 billion yen (down 11.9% year
on year) after adding unearned premium reserves andrefunded reserves to the risk reserves.
c. Risk reserves of direct insurance companies
Risk reserves of direct insurance companies recorded
as entrusted reserves were 489.1 billion yen for the
fiscal year under review (down 6.7% year on year), obtained by adding net premiums written and profit frominvestments of 28.6 billion yen (up 2.6% year on year),and drawing a provision of outstanding claims of 63
billion yen and advertising and publicity expenses of
0.5 billion yen.

(2) Outline of investments
Medium- to long-term domestic interest rates declined
significantly in the first half of the fiscal year, due inpart to the slow recovery of the Japanese economy andthe decline in interest rates in Europe and the UnitedStates, which is attributable to the increasingly serious
sovereign debt problems in Europe. The interest rates
subsequently began to rise given global expectationsof an economic recovery. At the end of the fiscal year
under review, however, the interest rates were slightly
lower than the levels at the end of the previous fiscal
year, due in part to the impact of the Great East Japan
Earthquake.
The yen appreciated sharply against both the dollar
and euro. It remained strong against the dollar due tofurther monetary easing by the Federal Reserve Boardand against the euro because of the increasingly serious sovereign debt problems in Europe. Consequently,
compared with a year ago, the yen had appreciatedabout ten yen against the dollar and about seven yen
against the euro at the end of the fiscal 2010.
In the circumstances, we invested in assets with the
top priority placed on security and liquidity, followedby profitability. As a result, pre-tax profits from investments amounted to 7.1 billion yen in the business account and 5.4 billion yen in the entrusted reserves account. Consequently, investment assets at the end of
the year under review stood at 1,135.2 billion yen.
To prepare for the payment of reinsurance claims resulting from the Great East Japan Earthquake, we havesecured abundant funding by selling securities.
(3) Profit and loss for the fiscal year under review
Net income was 3 million yen after calculating interest and dividend income to capital account and otheritems.

rates for bonds in foreign currencies and is kept
within the scope of actual demand.

13. T
 otal deferred tax assets amount to 85 million yen,while total deferred tax liabilities come to 7 million yen. The amount deducted from deferred tax

breakdown of deferred tax assets reveals unpaid
business taxes of 19 million yen, unpaid special
local corporate tax of 14 million yen, a retirement
benefit reserve of 37 million yen and a bonus reserve of 6 million yen. The deferred tax liabilities
result primarily from an unrealized gain of 7 million yen on securities.

Solvency-margin ratio
The non-life insurance companies deposit reserves incase that they pay in­surance money for any insurance
accident that occurred or refund de­pository insurance
at maturity. It is also necessary for them to maintaina satisfactory ability to make payments or solvency
even in case of unusual, unforeseeable risk, including
a huge disaster or sharp drop in price of such assets
as owned by them.
The rate of “Non-life insurance company’s ability tomake payments by owned assets and reserves (A in theabove table) over any risk unfore­seeable (B in the abovetable)” is indicated as the solvency-margin ratio (C inthe above table) which is calculated according to thepertinent rules, including the Insurance Business Law.
[Unforeseeable risk] (Total of risks): Sum of 1~5
1. G eneral underwriting risk: risk associated with aninsurance accident rate that is higher than normallypredictable (other than the risk associated with ahuge disas­ter).
2. A
 nticipated ratio of Return Risk: risk that mightarise when actual yields from operation are lower
than original at the time of calculating premiums ofa deposi­tory insurance
3. Investment risk: management risk that might arise
when the value of assets owned including securities
changes in an unforeseeable manner.
4. M anagement risk: risk that might arise on businessman­agement in an unforeseeable manner, otherthan 1~3 and 5.
5. C
 atastrophe risk: risk that might arise with a hugedisaster (such as the Great Kanto Earthquake) which
is nor­mally unforeseeable.
[Capability of payment by non-life insurance company owned capital and reserves] (Total of solvencymargin)
The total of capital owned by a non-life insurance company, reserves (price fluctuation reserve, catastrophe reserve, securities and part of latent profit from land, andso on)The solvency-margin ratio is one of the indicators
used when the admin­istrative authorities check insurance companies to determine the sound­ness of management for supervisory purposes. When the rate is
200% or more, the insurance company is deemed satisfactory in terms of its ability to make insurance andother payouts.

Japan Earthquake Reinsurance Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2011◎ JER has entered into a reinsurance contract with thegovernment of Japan for earthquake insurance in accordance with Law concerning Earthquake Insurance.

responsibility for support and for lending funds for thepayment of insurance money. Because this is a form ofspecial business, JER’s solvency-margin ratio is not usable as a figure to enable the administrative authorities
to trigger an order for improvement, irrespective of theabove solvency-margin ratio, as provided for in Section
4, Article 3, Order to specify the division stated in Section 2, Article 132, Insurance Business Law.
Note: The article is as follows.
[In the event that an insurance company has enteredinto a reinsurance contract with the government asstated in Section 1, Article 3, Law con­cerning Earthquake Insurance (law No. 73, 1966), any order to beissued according to the listed division in Section 1 of
