-related services at the commencement of the insurance contract, and the insurance contract has direct participation features. The Group does not reassess the fulfillment of these criteria unless there is a contract modification. The variable fee approach is not applied to reinsurance contracts held.

i) the contractual terms specify that the policyholder participates in a share of a clearly identified pool of underlying items.

ii) the Group expects to pay to the policyholder an amount equal to a substantial share of the fair value returns on the underlying items.

iii) the Group expects a substantial proportion of any change in the amounts to be paid to the policyholder to vary with the change in fair value of the underlying items.

In the variable fee approach, it is clear that the obligation to pay an amount equal to the fair value of the underlying items, deducted by the variable fee, constitutes the liability to the policyholder. The variable fee is the company’s share of the fair value of the underlying items minus fulfillment cash flows, which do not vary depending on the performance of the underlying items.

equal to the fair value of the underlying items are not adjusted in the contractual service margin. However, adjustments are made in the contractual service margin for the portion of the fair value of the underlying items attributable to the company and the changes in the fulfillment cash flows not subject to variations based on the performance of the underlying items.

The Group measures the present value of cash flows at the initial recognition date and at the end of the reporting period using the same general model. The contractual service margin is calculated by adjusting the base amount with the following amounts.

i) The effect of new contracts added to the current group of insurance contracts issued.

ii) Changes in the portion of the fair value of underlying items attributable to the entity (excluding recognition and reversal of loss components).

iii) Changes in the fulfillment cash flows related to future services (excluding recognition and reversal of loss components).

iv) The effect of exchange rate fluctuations on contractual service margins.

v) Amounts recognized in the current period’s profit or loss due to the transfer of insurance contract services during the period.
