The Pacific Catastrophe Risk Insurance Foundation ('the Foundation') is the sole shareholder of PCRIC. The Company receives grant funding under the Multi- Donor Trust Fund Agreements (MDTF) entered into with International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and the International Development Association. These special purpose financial statements (hereinafter referred to as the ‘the special purpose financial statements’) are prepared by the Company pursuant to the Pacific Catastrophe Risk Assessment and Financing Initiative Multi-Donor Trust Fund Grant Agreement Number TF A4171 dated 16 February 2017 (‘Grant Agreement') between the Company and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the International Development Association, which require the Company to prepare financial statements to reflect the operations, resources and expenditures related to the Project, and to have its financial statements for the respective parts of the Project audited, 'the Project' being as described in the Grant Agreement. The Grant Agreement, was established pursuant to the Administration Arrangements (‘PCRAFI MDTF Administration Arrangements’) concerning the Pacific Catastrophe Risk Assessment and Financing Initiative Multi-Donor Trust Fund Number TFO72622 (‘PCRAFI MDTF’) between the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the International Development Association (‘the World Bank’) as ‘the Administrator’ of the PCRAFI MDTF, and the current contributing donor countries (collectively ‘the Donors’). The current contributing donors to the PCRAFI MDTF are: the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ); the Ministry of Finance of the Government of Japan; the United Kingdom Department for International Development of the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the United States Department of the Treasury. The World Bank is ‘the Administrator’ of the PCRAFI MDTF. These special purpose financial statements have been prepared for: – Directors of the Pacific Catastrophe Risk Insurance Company to assist the Company in complying with the financial reporting provisions of the MTDF Grant No TF A4171; and – the World Bank and the Donors Partners . The special purpose financial statements are presented for the purposes of compliance with the Grant Agreement, and are not presented pursuant to any statutory requirements, therefore they are special purpose financial statements. These special purpose financial statements are intended solely for the use of the parties listed above and should not be used for any other purpose. The Company is a Public Benefit Entity ('PBE') for the purpose of preparing these special purpose financial statements. The objective of the Project is to improve access to post-disaster rapid response finance for Pacific Island Countries. These special purpose financial statements are for the six months ended 31 December 2022 and were authorised for issue by the Board on 31 May 2023. The following are the significant accounting policies adopted by the Company in the preparation and presentation of these special purpose financial statements. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated. 2 BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SIGNFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Statement of Compliance The Company's special purpose financial statements are prepared and presented in accordance with Tier 1 PBE Accounting Requirements Accounting Requirements (New Zealand Equivalents to International Public Sector Accounting Standards ('PBE IPSASs')), as required in the Cook Islands Captive Insurance Regulations and the presentation and classification requirements of the Grant Agreement Schedule 2 Section II A, which requires its financial statements reported for the Respective Parts of the Project, (together ‘the Special Purpose Financial Reporting Framework’), with the exception of: - PBE FRS 48: Service Performance Reporting In addition to the special purpose financial statements being prepared for the purposes of compliance with the Grant Agreement, the financial statements are special purpose as the Project has not prepared a statement of service performance reporting for the six-month period ended 31 December 2022, as required by PBE FRS 48. In terms of the requirements of Grant Agreement Schedule 2 Section II A, the Company undertakes its monitoring, reporting and evaluation by categories 1 to 3 defined in Grant Agreement Schedule 2 Section IV A. - Part 1: Category 1 - Establishment and Operationalization - Part 2: Category 2 - Capitalization Phase 1 (First instalment of project funds for capitalization) - Part 2: Category 3 - Capitalization Phase 2 (Second instalment of project funds for capitalisation) Historical Cost Convention The special purpose financial statements have been prepared on a realisation basis, due to the "Closing Date"of the Project being December 31, 2022. (2022: The special purpose financial statements have been prepared on a realisation basis due to the "Closing Date"of the Project being December 31, 2022. The Company has not requested, nor received, an extension of the Project from the World Bank as at June 20, 2022 or as at the date of the signing of these financial statements. The basis of preparation has changed due the Company and World Bank no longer seeking to continue on with the Project, as the objective of the Project to improve access to post-disaster rapid response finance for Pacific Island Countries has been achieved.). Reporting Period The period covered by the financial information presented in these special purpose financial statements is from 1 July 2022 to 31 December 2022. The period covered by the comparative financial information presented in these special purpose financial statements is from the 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2022. Going Concern The "Closing Date" of the Project (as defined in Note 1) is December 31, 2022, and as such, these special purpose financial statements have been prepared on a realisation basis, which does not contemplate the continuity of normal business activities or the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business, refer to the ' "Closing date" of the Project ' section below for further information. (2022: The "Closing Date" of the Project (as defined in Note 1) is December 31, 2022, and as such, these special purpose financial statements have been prepared on a realisation basis, which does not contemplate the continuity of normal business activities or the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business, refer to the ' "Closing date" of the Project ' section below for further information.) As noted above, the objective of the Project was to improve access to post-disaster rapid response finance for Pacific Island Countries. This has been achieved, and hence the Project is closed as at 31 December 2022. In accordance with clause E4 of the Grant Agreement, on the wind-up or dissolution of the Company, the Company shall agree with the Foundation on the terms and conditions for the use of any proceeds of the Grant that remain undrawn, or drawn and yet to be utilised, with the Company as of the Closing date (i.e. 31 December 2022), which are to be used for the benefit of the Pacific Island Countries. As at 31 December 2022 and the date of the signing of these financial statements, the unwithdrawn amount of grant under the Grant Agreement was $0.66m. As at the date of signing these financial statements, the Company and Foundation have agreed to use of remaining proceeds of the Grant that remain with the Company as of the Closing date (i.e. 31 December 2022) in line with the business plan presented at the 26 April 2023 meeting. 6 2 BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SIGNFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 2.1 Basis of preparation (continued) Compliance with the Grant Agreement Under the Grant Agreement, the Company has to ensure that the Respective Parts of the Project are carried out in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 2 of the Grant Agreement, as stipulated by Article II of the Grant Agreement. In the event the Company fails to perform any obligation under the Grant Agreement, the World Bank could either: suspend the Company's right to make withdrawals from the Grant Account; or cancel / terminate the right of the Company to make withdrawals with respect to an unwithdrawn amount of the Grant under the Grant Agreement. In addition, under clause 4.05(a) of the World Bank Policy "Standard Conditions for Grants Made by the World Bank Out of Various Funds", the World Bank has the ability to seek a refund if the Company is deemed to be non-compliant with the Grant Agreement and the Terms and Conditions attaching. To date there have been minor instances of non-compliance regarding process matters, and whilst known to the World Bank, these breaches have not been formally waived by them. Should the World Bank suspend the Company's right to make withdrawals from the Grant Account or cancel / terminate the right of the Company to make withdrawals with respect to an unwithdrawn amount of the grant under the Grant Agreement, this would give rise to a material uncertainty in relation to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If the Company was unable to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, adjustments may have to be made to reflect the situation that assets may need to be realised other than the amounts at which they are currently recorded in the Statement of Financial Position. In addition, the Company may have to provide for further liabilities that might arise, and to reclassify non-current liabilities as current liabilities in the Statement of Financial Position. "Closing date" of the Project The Grant Agreement stipulates the "Closing Date" of the Grant Agreement is December 31, 2022. The World Bank Policy ‘Standard Conditions for Grants Made by the World Bank Out of Various Funds' (the 'Standard Conditions') set forth certain terms and conditions generally applicable to grants made by the World Bank and they apply to the extent specified in the Grant Agreement. The definitions of the Standard Conditions define the “Closing Date" as the date specified in the Grant Agreement (or such later date as the World Bank shall establish by notice to the Company) after which the World Bank may, by notice to the Company, terminate the right of the Recipient to withdraw from the Grant Account. Section 4.03 (e) Cancellation by the World Bank of the Standard Conditions - Closing Date, stipulate that 'the World Bank may, by notice to the Company, terminate the right of the Company to make withdrawals with respect to an unwithdrawn amount of the Grant, and cancel such amount, if, after the Closing Date, there remains an unwithdrawn amount of the Grant. As at the date of the signing of these financial statements, the Project is closed as at 31 December 2022. Accordingly, these special purpose financial statements have been prepared on a realisation basis. From December 31, 2022, the Company will no longer be able to withdraw any undrawn amounts from the Grant Account. From December 31, 2022, the Company will no longer be able to withdraw any undrawn amounts from the Grant Account, unless otherwise agreed with the Foundation/ World Bank. All amounts withdrawn from the Grant Account since the inception of the Grant Agreement and up to the "Closing Date" of December 31, 2022, would be the Pacific Catastrophe Risk Insurance Company’s funds, unencumbered, and no longer be able to be, recalled by, returned / refunded to, the World Bank. The Council of Members have given the Company approval to use the capitalization funds in supporting the Company’s operational expenses commencing 1 January 2022. In accordance with clause E4 of the Grant Agreement, on the wind-up or dissolution of the Company, the Company shall agree with the Foundation on the terms and conditions for the use of any proceeds of the Grant that remain undrawn, or drawn and yet to be utilised, with the Company as of the Closing date (i.e. 31 December 2022), which are to be used for the benefit of the Pacific Island Countries. As at the date of signing these financial statements, the Company and Foundation have agreed to use of remaining proceeds of the Grant that remain with the Company as of the Closing date (i.e. 31 December 2022) in line with the business plan presented at the 26 April 2023 meeting. Functional and presentation currency The special purpose financial statements are presented in United States dollars ('USD') which is the Company's functional and presentation currency. Standards issued and not yet effective and not early adopted There are a number of other standards and amendments issued but not yet effective and not early adopted. Based on Management's initial impact assessment of these standards, they are not expected to have a material impact on the special purpose financial statements. Income Tax The Company is exempt from income tax in the Cook Islands in accordance with the Pacific Catastrophe Risk Insurance Facility Act 2016. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income tax. Tax advice may be sought to ensure that any operation by the Company in other jurisdictions does not jeopardise the entity's position to maintain the tax exempt status. Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions The preparation of special purpose financial statements in conformity with PBE IPSAS requires Management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and revenues and expenditures. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are also reviewed on an ongoing basis and any changes to the estimates are recognised in the period in which they are revised. For the periods presented there are no critical accounting estimates or assumptions. 7 2 BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SIGNFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 2.2 Significant accounting policies The following are the significant accounting policies adopted by the Company in the preparation and presentation of these special purpose financial statements. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated. a Revenue recognition Revenue from non-exchange transactions Non-exchange transactions are those where the Company receives value from another entity (e.g. case or other assets) without giving approximately equal value in exchange. Inflows of resources from non-exchange transactions, other than services in-kind, that meet the definition of an asset are recognised as an asset only when: - It is probable that the Company will receive an inflow of economic benefits or service potential; and - The fair value of can be measured reliably. Inflows of resources from non-exchange transactions that are recognised as assets are recognised as non-exchange revenue, to the extent that a liability is not recognised in respect to the same inflow. Liabilities are recognised in relation to inflows of resources from non-exchange transaction when there is a resulting presents obligation as a result of thee non-exchange transactions, where both: - It is probable that an outflow of resources embodying future economic benefit or service potential will be required to settle the obligation, and - The amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably. The following are the specific recognition criteria in relation to the Company's non-exchange transactions. (i) Grants The recognition of non-exchange revenue from grants depends on whether the grant comes with any stipulations imposed on the used of a transferred asset. Stipulations that are 'conditions' specifically require the Company to return the inflow of resources received if they are not used in the way stipulated, and therefore do not result in the recognition of a non-exchange revenue until the 'conditions' are satisfied. Stipulations that are 'restrictions' do not specifically require the Company to return the inflow of resources received if they are not utilised in the way stipulated, and therefore do not result in the recognition of a non-exchange liability, which results in the immediate recognition of non-exchange revenue on receipt. As described in Note 1 (above), the Company receives grant funding from the Donors through the World Bank under the Pacific Catastrophe Risk Assessment and Financing Initiative Multi-Donor Trust Fund Grant Agreement Number TF A4171 dated 16 February 2017 (‘Grant Agreement'). The objective of the grant funding is to improve access to post-disaster rapid response finance for Pacific Island Countries. Depending on stipulations of the grant funding the Company may or may not have to return unspent funds. If there are conditions attached, revenue in relation to the particular grant is not recognised when it is received by the Project. Under the Grant Agreement, the Project consists of the following parts: - Part 1. Establishment and Operationalization of the PCRIC and the Foundation - Part 2. Capitalization of the PCRIC - Part 3. Institutional Capacity Building on Disaster Risk Financing and Insurance - Part 4. Development of Disaster Risk Insurance Products - Part 5. Monitoring and Evaluation Grant funding received from the date of the establishment of the Company to reporting date have been for Parts 1 and 2 and are designated as follows: The Designated Bank Account and Term Deposit Accounts have been created to hold the restricted funds. Restricted Funds are those funds received from the Grant Agreement. Part 1: Category 1 - Establishment and Operationalization - Funds for goods, consulting services, non-consulting services, training and operating costs for: - Establishment and operationalisation of the PCRIC; - Development of disaster and climate related risk financing products; - Monitoring and evaluation of the insurance pay-out process; Part 1: Category 1 grant funding is recognised as revenue in the fiscal period in which an eligible expenditure is occurred. Part 2: Category 2 & 3 - Capitalization Phase 1 & 2 (first and second instalment of project funds for capitalization) - Funds to enable PCRIC to: (i) earn income on the Capitalization Funds to finance its operations; (ii) make insurance pay-outs rapidly and be partially reimbursed by the reinsurers; and (iii) retain and manage a portion of the risks while the rest is passed to the reinsurance markets. Part 2: Category 2 & 3 grant funding is recognised in the period in which the funds are received. Funds received from the Grant Agreement as Category 1 are held within the Designated Bank Account. Funds received as Category 2 and 3 are held within the term Deposit Accounts. 8 2 BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SIGNFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 2.2 Significant accounting policies (continued) b Expenses Expenses are recognised as incurred in profit or loss on an accrual basis. c Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and cash at bank and deposits on call, with an original maturity of three months or less, which are readily convertible to cash and are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value. d Financial instruments The Company initially recognises financial instruments when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value, plus for those financial instruments not subsequently measured at fair value through surplus or deficit, directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent measurement is dependent on the classification of the financial instrument, and is specifically detailed in the accounting policies below. Loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. Loans and receivables comprise other receivables. Loans and receivables are assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence that it is impaired. Loans and receivables are impaired if there is objective evidence of impairment after the initial recognition of the asset, and that a loss event(s) have an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the loans or receivables that can be estimated reliably. Investments are subsequently measured at fair value through surplus or deficit. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if expected to be settled or sold within 12 months, otherwise they are classified as non-current. Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade-date, being the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the ‘financial assets at fair value through surplus or deficit’ category are presented in the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the balance date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Company is the current bid price. Financial liabilities classified as amortised cost are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Financial liabilities classified as amortised cost comprise other payables. (e) Equity Equity is the as measured by total assets less total liabilities. Equity for the Company is comprised of retained earnings. Retained earnings are disaggregated and classified into a number of sub-reserves to enable clearer identification of the specified uses that the Company makes of its retained earnings. The components of retained earnings are: • Retained Earnings • Long Term Reserve Reserves represent a particular use to which various parts of equity have been assigned.

The Company's policy is to maintain a strong reserve base. (b) Insurance Risk The Company's insurance operations, which do not relate to the operations, resources and expenditures of the Project described in the Grant Agreement and hence do not form part of these special purpose financial statements, expose it primarily to insurance risk. The insurance risk related information described and disclosed below have been included in these special purpose financial statements to provide the users of these special purpose financial statements with additional information about the Company's insurance operations and exposures. The Company was issued with a licence under the Cook Islands Captive Insurance Act 2013 on 10 June 2016. The financial condition and operation of the Company is affected by a number of key risks including insurance risk, market risk, compliance risk and operational risk. The Company's policies and procedures in respect of managing insurance risk are set out in this note. Objectives in managing risks arising from insurance contracts and policies for mitigating those risks The Company has an objective to control insurance risk thus minimising substantial unexpected losses that would expose the Company to an adverse financial capital loss. Key aspects of the processes established to mitigate risks include: - The maintenance and use of management information systems, which provide up to date, reliable data on the risks to which the business is exposed at any point in time. - Models, using information from the management information systems, are used to calculate premiums and monitor claims patterns. Past experience is used as part of the process. - The management of assets and liabilities is closely monitored to attempt to match the maturity dates of assets with the expected pattern of claims. - The Company does not currently have an investment strategy. All funds surplus to operating requirements are held in term deposits maintained in the Cook Islands until an Board approved investment strategy is adopted. - The diversification over separate geographical areas seeks to reduce variability in loss experience. Insurance Risk The Company can be indirectly impacted by the exposure taken on by the Company. In the event a claim occurs which exceeds the Retained Earnings of the Company, the Restricted Reserves can be accessed in accordance with the Grant Agreement. Insurance exposures are managed by the Company through: - The ability to review insurance contracts in place and in particular adjust future premium rates. - Concentration risk is mitigated as a result of geographical spread of Pacific Island countries. These counties include Cook Islands, Republic of Marshall Islands, Samoa, Tonga and Vanuatu. The gross exposure of the Company as at 31 December 2022 is US$ 20,941,389 (June 2022: US$ 20,634,269). This is limited through the purchase of reinsurance. Net exposure of the Company as at 31 December 2022 is US$ 9,191,389 (June 2022: US$ 8,884,269). Exposure for each of the member countries is: 31-Dec-22 30-Jun-22 Coverage Coverage Member Peril Insured Event Insured Limit Peril Insured Event Insured Limit Cook Islands Tropical 1 in 150 Year 2,881,982 Tropical 1 in 150 Year 2,881,982 Cyclone Cyclone Samoa Earthquake & 1 in 50 Year 10,881,264 Earthquake & 1 in 50 Year 10,695,750 Tropical Tropical Cyclone Cyclone Tonga Earthquake & 1 in 30 Year 7,178,143 Earthquake & 1 in 30 Year 7,056,537 Tropical Tropical Cyclone Cyclone Total 20,941,389 20,634,269 10 PACIFIC CATASTROPHE RISK INSURANCE COMPANY SPECIAL PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES TO THE SPECIAL PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the six months ended 31 December 2022 3. CAPITAL, INSURANCE AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED) (c) Market Risk (i) Foreign exchange risk Foreign currency risk is the risk that the value of the Company's assets and liabilities or revenues and expenditure will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Reinsurance is purchased in United States dollars, irrespective of where the reinsurer is domiciled, and is effective from the same date and time as the Company writes the policy for its premiums and accepts the insurance risk. The Company is not exposed to currency risk as its investments are denominated in United States dollars. (ii) Price risk The Company is exposed to equity securities price risk because of investments held by the Company and classified in the statement of financial position as at fair value through surplus or deficit. The Company is not exposed to commodity price risk. To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Company diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the Company's SIPO. (d) Credit Risk 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. The Company’s exposure to credit risk, or the risk of counterparties defaulting arises mainly from term deposits with banks. The Company maintains these deposits for the Company with counterparty registered banks having a credit rating of AA- from Standard & Poors, and does not anticipate a default from the counterparty registered banks. The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the special purpose financial statements represents the Company's maximum exposure to credit risk. (e) Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company has liquidity risk with respect to its repayment obligations of financial liabilities. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. The following tables detail the Company's remaining contractual maturity for its financial instruments. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial instruments based on the earliest date on which the Company can be required to pay/receive. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows. < 6 months < 1 years > 1 year Total US$ US$ US$ US$ 30-Jun-22 Financial Assets - Cash and cash equivalents 159,769 - - 159,769 - Investments 19,125,425 - - 19,125,425 - Other receivables 1,035 - - 1,035 19,286,229 - - 19,286,229 Financial Liabilities - Payables (213,682) - - (213,682) - Grant income received in advance - 52,878 - 52,878 (213,682) 52,878 - (160,804) 31-Dec-22 Financial Assets - Cash and cash equivalents 247,921 - 247,921 - Investments 19,404,130 19,404,130 19,652,051 - - 19,652,051 Financial Liabilities - Payables (660,290) - - (660,290) - Grant income received in advance 377,369 - - 377,369 (282,921) - - (282,921) (e) Fair value risk The Company considers that the carrying amount of the financial assets and liabilities approximates their fair value. 4.

In our opinion, the accompanying special purpose financial statements are prepared, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2022, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the period then ended in accordance with the basis of preparation described in Notes 1 and 2.1. Our report is made solely to the Directors of the Company. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Directors of the Company those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Directors of the Company as a body, for our audit work, for our report or for the opinions we have formed. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) ('ISAs (NZ)'). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Special Purpose Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 International Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (including International Independence Standards) (New Zealand) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (‘IESBA Code’), and we have fulfilled our other 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. Other than in our capacity as auditor we have no relationship with, or interests in, Pacific Catastrophe Risk Insurance Company. Emphasis of Matter – Realisation Basis of Accounting We draw attention to Note 2.1 in the special purpose financial statements, which describes the "Closing Date" of the Project (as defined in Note 1), is December 31, 2022. As at 31 December 2022 and the date of the signing of these special purpose financial statements, the Project is closed as at 31 December 2022, and as a result these special purpose financial statements have been prepared on a realisation basis. The Foundation members have unanimously agreed to use of remaining proceeds of the Grant that remain with the Company as of the Closing date (i.e. 31 December 2022) in line with the business plan presented at the 26 April 2023 meeting. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. 13 Emphasis of Matter - Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern to December 31, 2022 We draw attention to Note 2.1 in the special purpose financial statements, which describes that in the event the Company fails to perform any obligation under the Grant Agreement, the World Bank could either: suspend the Company’s right to make withdrawals from the Grant Account; or cancel / terminate the right of the Company to make withdrawals with respect to an unwithdrawn amount of the grant the Grant Agreement, and in addition seek a refund of Grant amounts disbursed. Were the special purpose financial statements prepared on a going concern basis, as stated in Note 2.1, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 2.1, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern to December 31, 2022. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. tion on Distribution and Use Emphasis of Matter – Basis of Accounting and Restric We draw attention to Notes 1 and 2.1 of the special purpose financial statements, which describes the basis of accounting. The special purpose financial statements are prepared at the request of the Directors of the Pacific Catastrophe Risk Insurance Company to assist the Pacific Catastrophe Risk Insurance Company in complying with the financial reporting provisions of the Pacific Catastrophe Risk Assessment and Financing Initiative Multi-Donor Trust Fund Grant Agreement Number TF A4171 dated 16 February 2017 (‘the Grant Agreement’). As a result, the special purpose financial statements may not be suitable for another purpose. Our report is intended solely for the Directors of the Pacific Catastrophe Risk Insurance Company and should not be distributed to or used by parties other than the Shareholder of the Pacific Catastrophe Risk Insurance Company, and the following parties defined in the Pacific Catastrophe Risk Assessment and Financing Initiative Multi-Donor Trust Fund Number TFO72622; the World Bank and the Donors Partners (as described in Note 1). Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. Emphasis of Matter – Composition of the Company’s operations, resources and expenditures We draw attention to Note 1 of the special purpose financial statements, which describes the special purpose financial statements are prepared by the Company pursuant to the Pacific Catastrophe Risk Assessment and Financing Initiative Multi-Donor Trust Fund Grant Agreement Number TF A4171 dated 16 February 2017 (‘Grant Agreement'), which require the Company to prepare financial statements to reflect the operations, resources and expenditures related to the Project, and to have its financial statements for the respective parts of the Project audited, the Project being as described in the Grant Agreement. These special purpose financial statements reflect only the operations, resources and expenditures related to the Project described in the Grant Agreement. These special purpose financial statements do not reflect any of the operations, resources and expenditures related to the Project (the Pacific Catastrophe Risk Assessment and Financing Initiative Project Code: 205266) described in the Memorandum of Understanding dated 9th September 2017 between the Company and the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland through the United Kingdom’s Department for International Development. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. Responsibilities of the Directors for the Special Purpose Financial Statements The Directors are responsible on behalf of the Company for the preparation and fair presentation of the special purpose financial statements in accordance with the Basis of Preparation per Notes 1 and 2.1, and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the special purpose financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 14 In preparing the special purpose financial statements, the Directors are responsible on behalf of the Company for assessing the Company’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 Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Special Purpose Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the special purpose 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 (NZ) 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 special purpose financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (NZ), we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:  Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the special purpose 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 Company’s internal control.  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.  Conclude on the appropriateness of the use of the going concern basis of accounting by the Directors and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’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 special purpose 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 Company to cease to continue as a going concern. 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.
