SCOPE OF EXAMINATION The New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance, hereinafter referred to as “NJDOBI”, has performed a full scope risk-focused examination of MAPFRE Insurance Company. This risk-focused examination was called by the Commissioner of Banking and Insurance of the State of New Jersey pursuant to the authority granted by Section 17:23-22 of the New Jersey Revised Statutes. The examination was made as at December 31, 2013, and addressed the five-year period from December 31, 2008, the date of the last examination. During this five-year period under examination, the Company’s assets increased from $38,358,410 to $52,455,312. Liabilities increased from $8,617,032 to $33,685,091 and its surplus to policyholders decreased from $29,741,379 to $18,770,221. NJDOBI conducted our examination in accordance with the 2013 edition of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) Financial Condition Examiners Handbook (the “NAIC Handbook”). The NAIC Handbook requires that NJDOBI plan and perform the examination to evaluate the financial condition and identify prospective risks of the Company. In order to meet these objectives, NJDOBI obtained information regarding the Company’s corporate governance environment, identified and assessed inherent risks to which it is exposed and evaluated its system of internal controls and procedures used to mitigate those risks identified. The examination also included assessing the principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation, management’s compliance with Statutory Accounting Principles and annual statement instructions when applicable to domestic state regulations. According to the NAIC Handbook, “One of the increased benefits of the enhanced risk focused approach is to include … consideration of other than financial risks that could impact the insurer’s future solvency. By utilizing the enhanced approach, the examiner reviewed the “financial” and “enterprise” risks that existed at the examination “as of” date and will be positioned to assess “financial” and “enterprise” risks that extend or commence during the time the examination was conducted and “prospective” risks which are anticipated to arise or extend past the point of examination completion. Using this approach, examiners will be better positioned to make recommendations for appropriate future supervisory plans (i.e., earlier statutory exams, limited-scope exams, key areas for financial analysts to monitor, etc.) for each insurer.” All accounts and activities of the Company were considered in accordance with the risk focused examination process. The examination report only addresses regulatory information revealed by the examination process in accordance with the NAIC Handbook. All other financial matters were reviewed and determined not to be material for discussion in this report.

INTER-COMPANY AGREEMENTS Inter-company Pooling Agreement The Company and its insurance affiliates have an inter-company reinsurance pooling agreement in which the companies share underwriting profit and losses in proportion to the pool participation percentages. The pooling agreement permits all companies to rely on the capacity of the entire pool rather than on their own capital and surplus. The pool participation percentages reflect the ratio of each subsidiary's policyholders' surplus to the aggregate policyholders' surplus. The percentages follow:

• The Lead Company The Commerce Insurance Company 71.2% • Affiliate Company American Commerce Insurance Company 9.1% • Affiliate Company Citation Insurance Company 7.4% • Affiliate Company Commerce West Insurance Company 4.6% • Affiliate Company MAPFRE Insurance Company of New York 3.9% • Affiliate Company MAPFRE Insurance Company of Florida 2.1% • Affiliate Company MAPFRE Insurance Company 1.7%

Commerce Insurance Company, as the lead company, assumes the direct business of its affiliates. All external reinsurance, in the form of catastrophe, quota share, facultative and excess of loss contracts, is ceded to the external reinsurers by Commerce Insurance Company under the terms of the reinsurance contracts. Commerce Insurance Company then cedes the net business after external reinsurance back to its affiliates at the stated pooled participation percentages. Management Cost Allocation Agreement The Fourth Amended and Restated Management Cost Allocation Agreement provides that the Company is charged or reimbursed for services rendered by the Company or its insurance affiliates and entails 1) investment related and 2) non-investment related services. Costs pertaining to investment related services are actual costs borne by the Company which, per agreement were determined to be the total rate of 15 basis points per annum times the investment balance at each regular calendar quarter. The non-investment related charges are costs borne by the Company and or its affiliates for functions supporting the affiliated companies. Loss adjustment expenses will be apportioned through studies in accordance with SSAP No. 70 which such studies shall be conducted no less than annually. Expenses other than investment related expenses and loss adjustment expenses will be apportioned to each company based on its direct written premium relative to that of the other companies. Tax Sharing Agreement MAPFRE Insurance Company entered into a tax sharing agreement on November 4, 2009, where it was agreed the companies would file a consolidated return and allocate the tax among them.

POLICY ON CONFLICT OF INTEREST The Companies' policy statement regarding conflicts of interest requires all directors, officers and employees to avoid situations in which their personal interests conflict with the interests of the Companies. Prior to engaging in any conduct or activity that may result in a conflict of interest, the facts and circumstances of the proposed conduct or activity must be disclosed to the supervisor or manager and to the Chair of the Corporate Compliance Committee in accordance with the Conflict of Interest Policy.

ACCOUNTS AND RECORDS The Company uses the SAP software package for its general ledger and Booke’s The Complete Package to prepare its Annual Statement. The general ledger system has been tested various auditors and is reconciled to the Annual Statement. Financial information in conjunction with the verification of assets and the determination of liabilities was made available in detail and summary form. The Company’s accounting books and records are maintained at its main administrative office located at 211 Main Street, Webster MA. The Company maintains two systems for reporting its business – Tronador and Tronweb. Tronador is the older version of system administered by the Company’s ultimate parent in Spain and Tronweb is the newer version. The Company is migrating its business to the newer version and all new business is written on Tronweb. The Company’s investment portfolio is accounted for on SunGuard’s iWorks platform and is in safekeeping at the Bank of New York. Claim payment authorization is performed either by Claim Representatives within their individual authority or by their Supervisor if the amount exceeds their authority. Likewise, if this exceeds the supervisor's authority, it would be handled by the Claim Manager. This process continues to follow the chain of command if authority limits are exceeded. Data Control completes a series of month end jobs where payment orders are created and commissions are assigned to agents. Direct Deposit (ACH) payments are processed and released. Agency Compensation balances the ACH and check registers to the agent statements and commission expense reports. Once balanced and approved by the Compensation manager, commission checks are printed and mailed to the agents. The Investment Accounting Department records all interest payments with the Sungard iWorks Investment Management Software. Interest payment transactions are uploaded daily from Bank of New York. They are then matched and posted to the accrued interest payments within iWorks. Once posting has been completed, a reconciliation is preformed between iWorks and the Bank of New York to ensure accuracy and completeness.

For MAPFRE Insurance Company, premiums are collected via four methods: Checks The insured mails their premium payment check and payment stub to the company and it is received by the remittance processing area in either Gilbert, AZ or Webster, MA. The check is electronically scanned and submitted to Bank of America via Image Cash Letter for deposit. A remittance file is generated from the scanning process which is used to post the payments received to the MAPFRE Insurance Company processing system. Daily reports are provided to the Treasury Department to reconcile payments posted in the system to the deposit posted by the bank. Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT/ACH) The insured completes and submits the EFT authorization form to MAPFRE Insurance Company providing approval to pay future premium installment payments via electronic bank transfer from their designated bank account. This information is entered into the insurance processing system and is used to generate an ACH file which is submitted to Bank of America as premiums become due on the policy. The payments are posted to the policies and daily reports are provided to the Treasury Department to reconcile funds deposited at the bank to funds posted in the insurance processing system for this payment type. Credit/Debit Cards and E-Checks The Company utilizes Deutsche Bank's Convenience Pay product. The customer accesses the payment link from the MAPFRE website in order to submit their premium payment as payments are due on their policy. At the close of business (based on a batch close cut off time specified with Deutsche Bank) a remittance file is generated by the bank and provided to MAPFRE Insurance Company so payments received can be applied to the policies in the insurance processing system. Daily reports are provided to the Treasury Department to reconcile funds deposited at the bank to funds posted in the insurance processing system for this payment type. Agent Sweep Agents are able to submit payments received from insureds in the agent's office to MAPFRE through the use of the MAPFRE Agent Front End (AFE). The agent deposits these payments into the agency's bank account. Daily, an ACH file is generated and sent to Bank of America in order for MAPFRE to collect the premium payments from the agents via a direct debit to the agency's bank account. Daily reports are provided to the Treasury Department to reconcile funds deposited at the bank to funds posted in the insurance processing system via the AFE process. Dividends are authorized by vote of the Board of Directors and paid via wire transfer. CONTINUITY OF OPERATIONS A business continuity plan is necessary to help ensure the Company can adequately recover from a system failure or business interruption in a timely fashion and without the loss of significant data. Management should assess how the Company’s reputation and financial status would be impacted in the event of a major processing disruption and, based on this assessment, develop an appropriate continuity plan that would help to ensure the Company can adequately recover from a system failure or business disruption in a timely fashion.

Since MAPFRE Insurance Company is 1.7% of the 2013 pooling agreement, the deficiency for the Reserve of Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses was $999,000.
