community move forward While 2021 is not likely to be viewed as one of the most memorable years in the history of Farm Mutual Re the company continued to demonstrate a high degree of resiliency and professionalism in the face of the extraordinary challenges presented by the on going COVID 19 pandemic Despite the periodic hints throughout the latter part of the year that a return to normalcy was in the offing the company was able to take in stride the disappointing setback associated with the arrival of the Omicron variant Farm Mutual Re demonstrated its values of being caring committed courageous and empowering and always acting with integrity As it has done from the onset of the pandemic the organization was able to quickly identify potential disruptions and adapt its processes to continue to provide the exceptional reinsurance products and first rate complimentary services that the company s members and partners have come to rely on Through it all the Board has continued to work closely with the management team to prudently navigate the known and emerging risks in order to create an environment for Farm Mutual Re to thrive Growth and Profitability During the past year the Board and management have spent more of their time and energy addressing the growth and profitability challenges within the member segment of our business The finite size of the Canadian farm mutual market and the pace of consolidation among the company s participating members points to only modest primarily organic growth in the company s member business We are pleased that the results of the Path to Profitability initiative are trending positively but the company and all of its members will need to continue to employ diligent underwriting practices to ensure that the trend continues By continuing to follow strict underwriting protocols the company expects to improve the bottom line of its income statement The profitable expansion of the broker distribution segment has been an important part of the company s strategy in addressing the limited growth opportunities and concentration risk within the member segment However given the recent disappointing underwriting results in this segment the Board and management will need to increase our focus on our non member business The company will need to demonstrate underwriting diligence to our reinsurance partners and rating agencies in order to preserve the positive reputation which Farm Mutual Re enjoys Innovation Farm Mutual Re and its participating members as well as the broader business community all agree that innovation is essential for long term sustainability of any organization 2021 ANNUAL REPORT FARM MUTUAL RE 5

Directors and Officers But asking members of a team who are fully engaged in meeting the demands of their roles to also set aside time to develop new products or processes is not likely to yield significant results The Board and the leadership group have come to the conclusion that in order for Farm Mutual Re to create an environment where the likelihood of innovationrelated successes are greater resources will need to be dedicated to the initiative While no one is able to provide assurances that the process will yield immediate results the Board and management are confident that the investment will yield sizeable returns over a longer time horizon not only for Farm Mutual Re but for the company s membership as well Equity Diversity Inclusion EDI The success of any organization is tied in large part to the caliber of its employees Farm Mutual Re is extremely proud of its current team The company wouldn t be where it is today without their efforts With the adoption of an EDI mandate this past year Farm Mutual Re has committed to enhancing its current workplace environment to continue to attract retain and develop exceptional team members to expand the company s roster of highly skilled employees having diverse backgrounds experiences perspectives and abilities Board of Directors The Board will bid farewell to longstanding Board member Jeff Whiting at the conclusion of this year s annual meeting Jeff has contributed significantly to the growth and evolution of Farm Mutual Re since his arrival on the Board in 2010 Jeff had a hand in guiding the company through a series of diverse challenges including the fall out from the 2008 global financial crisis the Dialogue on Direction discussions that followed and the settling of the question of the company s authority under its Letters Patent to name just a few I am personally thankful for Jeff s leadership and service and for his friendship The departure of one director creates an opportunity for another The Board is looking forward to taking advantage of in coming director Errol Butler s broad range of skills and experience in the coming years Appreciation I would like to thank Jean Pierre Gagnon his entire management group and all members of the Farm Mutual Re team for their energy commitment and the first rate work they perform each day to advance the interest of our members and partners Their efforts continue to reflect the company s tag line Collaborate Empower Succeed I would also like to thank my fellow directors for their trust support engagement and diligence in the Board s efforts to prudently govern the affairs of the company for the good of our members In closing with the hope that 2022 will see significant advances in bringing the pandemic to an end I continue to encourage you to take care of yourself and if you can to take care of someone else too Paul Vandenbosch Chair Ross Gowan Past Chair Valerie Fehr 1st Vice Ed Forbes 2nd Vice Jeff Whiting Director Jill Taylor Director Gord Lodwick Director Jill Chuli Director Kevin Konecny Director Derek MacFarlane Director Christine Van Daele Director Shane MacKinnon Director Jean Pierre Gagnon President CEO 6 FARM MUTUAL RE 2021 ANNUAL REPORT Jeff Consitt Sr Vice President COO Amy Butler Sr Vice President CFO Jennifer Allan Chief People Officer Patrice Rouse General Counsel Corporate Secretary 2021 ANNUAL REPORT FARM MUTUAL RE 7

CEO Message to Members Jean Pierre Gagnon In so many ways 2021 looked and felt a lot like 2020 with news coverage focused on the pandemic and its effects on the economy and mental health There were moments of optimism throughout the year as the economy started to reopen and people felt more comfortable going about their daily activities There were a lot more vehicles on the road and businesses adapted to the new reality Then the end of the year brought a new wave upon us yet again Luckily we have learned to be resilient so we will get through this one more time We have also learned that listening to the needs of our employees has been more important than ever We were responsive by providing them with extra time off this past year Having the flexibility to work from home has been very positive for employees but it has created a new challenge when it comes time to unplug The line between work and home has blurred and we have 8 had to remind everyone that it is necessary to regularly disconnect We do our best to support our people to manage the work life balance that is so important As many of our member companies have done over the last few years we have embarked on a transformation journey changing our main business system It has been a learning experience for many members of our team and we have made a lot of progress Our objective is to close out that project in 2022 We also started to explore two progressive initiatives during 2021 The first one innovation is not necessarily new but has been better defined For example an improved strategy was drawn there were new members added to the team and time was spent devising ways to advance the foundation laid by the Mutual Innovation Lab experiment The second significant initiative is Equity Diversity and Inclusion FARM MUTUAL RE 2021 ANNUAL REPORT EDI Over the course of 2021 we explored the purpose for EDI We believe that the business case for EDI supports the need to attract and retain diverse representation at any organization and Farm Mutual Re is no exception There are five main value propositions for implementing EDI practices Diverse organizations are more successful at recruiting top talent Inclusive workplaces improve job satisfaction and retention Valuing diverse talent maximizes productivity Diverse teams are critical for innovation Inclusion boosts company reputation These value propositions create a competitive advantage that drives revenue growth and improved profitability which ultimately benefits our members and other business partners And we can t forget more engaged employees Financial performance Our financial performance continues to be challenged by our property per risk line with eight losses ceded to our reinsurers We also experienced our largest crop losses to date and significant losses with our broker property segment To add to the losses we and our member companies are experiencing significant inflationary pressure which is making it harder to ascertain ultimate liabilities Despite these challenges we ended 2021 with net income of 6 0 million a combined ratio of 110 1 and investment income of 31 4 million Property per Risk The property per risk line generated a combined ratio of 122 0 fueled by a large number of fire losses For the past four years only four losses reached our treaty but in 2021 the number of ceded losses doubled with a predominance of fires in dairy barns or other farmrelated structures Considerable actions including rate increases a coparticipation offering and a renewed focus on loss prevention have been taken over the past two years to help curb the unsustainable losses However rates alone will not be sufficient to reverse this trend In addition to the introduction of the audit process we are working on alternate approaches to solve this problem and we will be engaging with our members throughout 2022 to develop solutions together Catastrophe Following elevated catastrophe activity in both 2018 and 2019 we have now benefited from two consecutive years of lower level catastrophe losses Our western members reported three separate hailstorm or windstorm events in January and July The remainder of the year was characterized by wind events in Ontario with the largest arising from the Labour Day storms impacting four of our Ontario members Overall catastrophe activity has resulted in ground up losses from our members of 16 8 million with a net incurred to Farm Mutual Re of 8 2 million Casualty excess of loss Our casualty excess of loss line which covers automobile liability and accident benefit as well as general liability saw substantial improvement over the past two years Significant favourable development on prior accident years and the continued positive impact of the 2020 claims settlement initiative helped to produce underwriting income of 45 2 million Just like in 2020 the auto results for our members and ourselves have been positively impacted by the lower frequency of auto accidents due to COVID 19 As the driving patterns start returning to the pre 2020 level we expect claims frequency to return to a more normal level Broker distribution Crop Our participation on crop programs has been longstanding and historically highly profitable In 2021 the extreme temperatures and lack of moisture in the western provinces meant that we participated in the significant losses experienced by the Manitoba and Saskatchewan crop programs This amounted to losses of just under 28 million on a net basis to Farm Mutual Re Notwithstanding these losses those programs continue to generate income over the long term for us Broker distribution Property The broker property segment focuses primarily on providing per risk and catastrophe protection to U S mutuals of comparable size and scale as our members Similarly to our member channel this segment is not immune to the impacts of climate change and social inflation The increased frequency and severity of storm activity particularly in areas where we are concentrated has resulted in significant losses to the U S property portfolio in 2021 We are disappointed by the underlying performance of this portfolio It is not what we expected it to be and this level of performance is not acceptable to us As such we are now turning our attention to this important part of our business and are focused on a number of corrective actions to improve performance We believe that it continues to be a critical segment to support our diversification efforts 2021 ANNUAL REPORT FARM MUTUAL RE 9

2022 and beyond There is no doubt that we need to continue to focus on our profitability We had made good progress but 2021 was a bit of a setback We will be adding to our tools to address our profitability issue by formally launching our underwriting audit program We believe that this will translate into a win win program for our members and Farm Mutual Re Our executive team is changing In 2021 we welcomed a new General Counsel and Corporate Secretary Patrice Rouse She is bringing new skills and a different perspective to our team and we are thrilled to have her We said goodbye to Kevin Cameron who left to explore a new opportunity We will miss him It has created a new opportunity though and we are looking forward to welcoming a new member to our team in 2022 Our wholly owned subsidiary United General Insurance Corporation is also undergoing some change Janice Rickard CEO General Manager will be retiring in April and I d like to thank her for almost 20 years of dedication to the company Also a big welcome to incoming CEO General Manager Jennifer Morrison we look forward to much collaboration in the days ahead There have been questions about our expenses in the past Those are fair questions and to be clear our expense ratio has been stable over the last five years We continue to have a reinsurance industry leading expense ratio Our approval process for significant projects and additional headcount is very thorough and we take pride in being careful with how we spend We will share more insight on this topic in the coming year We are hopeful that 2022 will bring about a return to more in person activities to help strengthen those relationships on which our business is built We have had to transform over the last two years and the need for change will not go away Innovation and EDI will go hand in hand in creating the environment necessary for us to be successful These are but two of the arrows in our quiver to allow us to adapt and evolve We are excited about our future and we are ready to face it In closing I would like to recognize Jeff Whiting who will be leaving the Board at the end of his current term Jeff was part of the hiring committee who selected me to lead Farm Mutual Re He was my main point of contact with the Board during the selection process and he made me feel very welcome I would like to thank Jeff for his engagement in Board activities over the years He will certainly be missed I also want to thank the Board of Directors for their continued support While it has been a challenging year I felt the Board s unwavering support and it helped us to move forward I could not be prouder of the work accomplished by the executive team They are dedicated to the success of their teams and Farm Mutual Re It is inspiring to work alongside them each day Lastly I want to thank all the employees of Farm Mutual Re Their energy and passion are what makes our company what it is I thank them for bringing their true selves to work every day Strategy Farm Mutual Re utilizes a strategic planning framework that intentionally creates space for the Board and management team to engage in meaningful strategic dialogue throughout the year Our strategic planning methodology ensures strategic pursuit progression is regularly monitored and assists in identifying the need to pivot In 2021 the Board dedicated time revisiting and validating our strategic philosophy assessed market opportunities and weighed in on the deployment of finite corporate resources The Board concentrated on two key topics the impact of member amalgamations on Farm Mutual Re and the existing broker distribution segment strategy The outcome of these discussions was a Board directive to management to explore opportunities to strengthen and effectively communicate our value proposition by highlighting the strategic benefits of partnering with Farm Mutual Re Management is also tasked with developing a more robust and comprehensive broker distribution segment strategy Key components of that strategy include program and geographical diversification risk concentration management and pricing tolerances to ensure sustainable and consistent profitability from this revenue stream Once the strategy has been developed and approved by the Board it will be communicated to members Farm Mutual Re strategy objectives are approved by the Board on an annual basis The goal of this assessment is to ensure the Why behind our strategic goals is clear In 2021 the intent of the strategy remains consistent However strategic goal descriptions were altered to respond to opportunities within various revenue streams provide more flexibility to support members and customers strategies and sharpen our focus on our strategic activities Our strategy heading into 2022 contains the following five goals 1 Grow Profitably and Diversify Increase premium growth within the mutual insurance space through longterm partnerships focused on shared profitability diversification of reinsurance risk and capacity protection 2 Protect Grow and Strategically Deploy Capital Protect grow and strategically deploy our capital to

Key Risks Which May Impact Future Results Catastrophe Risk Pricing Risk Insurance Activities Given the impact of climate change we face a higher risk of more severe and more frequent disaster level weather events Catastrophe risk is further heightened by our geographic concentrations in southern Ontario Saskatchewan Prince Edward Island and the U S northeast We continue to mitigate this risk through opportunities to diversify geographically management of year over year zone accumulations and outward reinsurance protection Pricing risk can arise because of actual claims experience timing of related cash flows and investment yields differing adversely from assumptions utilized in pricing conditions Our experience on inward and outward reinsurance programs is the largest contributor to our pricing risk exposure We continue to mitigate this risk by reviewing and challenging annual pricing methodologies and managing outward reinsurance retentions Investment Activities The COVID 19 crisis has created increased turbulence in capital markets and volatile general economic conditions This leads to uncertainty as to the timing of the economic recovery impacting market yields monetary policy and inflation expectations This volatility is further exacerbated by the extreme strength in the Canadian residential housing market We continue to manage our interest rate and market price risk by maintaining high credit quality standards for our investments and diversifying credit exposure by limiting single name Interest Rate concentrations Interest rate risk is further managed by matching the duration of interestMarket Price Risk rate sensitive assets and interest rate sensitive liabilities and positioning the fixed income securities portfolio according to the current view of future interest rates the yield curve and credit spreads balanced with consideration of yield to market liquidity and credit risk Strategic Risk Emerging Risk 16 Strategic And Emerging Risk Strategic risk arises primarily from failure to react to changes in the external environment adverse business decisions and improper implementation of business decisions Threats within the external environment include but are not limited to member amalgamations changes in member demographics climate change risk infectious disease risk and increased government and or regulatory intervention We continue to mitigate our strategic risk by following a sound business planning framework and strategic planning process that aligns with our mission vision and values and sets a consistent course from where the organization is to where the organization wants to be Operational Risk Cyber Security Risk Operational Activities Operational risk is the loss to an organization associated with people inadequate or failed internal processes and systems or from external events Our exposure to operational risk is driven by underwriting and claims management process management talent acquisition retention and management business continuity risk technology risk legacy and new technology adoption outsourcing risk and post pandemic epidemic work environment We continue to mitigate our exposure to operational risk through our annual planning process sound business processes and adherence to our operational plan Our exposure to cyber security risk is driven by human behaviour external bad actors and our third party outsourcing agreements Our cyber security teams continuously conduct threat and vulnerability assessments to ensure the implementation of appropriate mitigation actions should a threat be identified We continuously upgrade our applications to better protect our critical business systems information and databases These mitigation techniques are further strengthened by our Cyber Security Awareness Campaign and our due diligence in assessing and monitoring our outsourcing arrangements The Future of ERM Farm Mutual Re is committed to sound governance and the evolution of our Enterprise Risk Management framework policies and procedures We continue to evolve and enhance our risk management program in response to the ever changing environment and evolving risks facing the enterprise We are focused on continuing To enhance our governance and reporting structures with the introduction of a Board Risk Committee in 2022 to promote informed decision making at all levels of the organization To promote risk management and awareness as a shared responsibility in all roles of the organization To operationalize our risk identification and assessment processes across the enterprise Our emerging risk profiles consists of risk arising from developing or changing events or circumstances in the external context that are potentially significant but not fully understood difficult to quantify and possibly irrelevant to our position A growing concern is the failure of a cloud service provider as digital transformation has accelerated due to the pandemic We continue to

confidential online demographic survey to better understand the EDI needs of all people at Farm Mutual Re FARM MUTUAL RE 2021 ANNUAL REPORT We received an excellent 82 response to the survey Most survey participants agreed that Farm Mutual Re is doing well in the EDI arena and feel included while engaged in work activities Overall the diversity representation findings tell us there is opportunity to increase representation in all equity groups except for women where we are well represented When it came to inclusion while responses were quite positive organization wide equity groups

relationship centric organizational culture and our values of caring and committed regardless of place of work We approach the Future of Work with an experimental attitude seeking feedback identifying issues and making changes as we go In 2021 many discussions focused on the Future of Work and our organizational culture Would our work environment be in office remote or a combination of both What would that do to our ways of interacting that contribute to the unique social and psychological environment of our organization Our employees told us they love the flexibility in our work environment and they want to build on the relationships we have all missed We landed on a Future of Work Vision that will support a hybrid work environment where workplace schedules balance business and personal

Report Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon In connection with our audit of the financial statements our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and in doing so consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated We obtained the Information other than the financial statements and the auditors report thereon

property and casualty P C reinsurance and insurance principally in Canada and the United States The Company is incorporated without share capital under the laws of the Province of Ontario and is domiciled in Canada The registered office and principal place of business is 350 Pinebush Road Cambridge Ontario 2 Basis of preparation a Statement of compliance These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board IASB The consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on February 23 2022 b Basis of measurement and presentation These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention using the accounting policies as described in Note 3 Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform with the presentation adopted in the current period In line with industry practice for insurance companies the Company presents its consolidated statement of financial position broadly in order of liquidity rather than using current and non current classifications c Functional and presentation currency These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars which is the Company s functional currency All amounts in the notes are shown in thousands of Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated d Use of judgments estimates and assumptions The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make certain judgments estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as at the reporting date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year Actual results may differ from these estimates Although some variability is inherent in these estimates management believes that the amounts provided are appropriate The most complex and significant judgments estimates and assumptions used in preparing the Company s consolidated financial statements are discussed below Judgments In the process of applying the Company s accounting policies management has made the following judgments which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements Management has applied judgment in its assessment of the identification of objective evidence of impairments of financial assets other than those classified or designated at fair value through income or loss FVTPL assessing the business model within which the financial assets are held and whether the contractual terms of the assets are solely payments of principal and interest SPPI on the principle outstanding measurement of income taxes and recoverability of deferred tax assets and identifying the indicators of impairment for reinsurance assets property and equipment and intangible assets with finite useful lives Estimates and assumptions Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the next financial year are included in the following notes Note 3 b Note 3 i Note 3 j Note 3 k Note 3 m Note 3 o 30 Financial instruments Insurance contracts Insurance contract assets Insurance contract liabilities Income taxes Post employment benefits FARM MUTUAL RE 2021 ANNUAL REPORT 3 Significant accounting policies The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements a Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Farm Mutual Reinsurance Plan Inc and its wholly owned subsidiary UGIC which operates and is incorporated in Canada All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method when control is transferred to the Company The acquisition method requires that the acquirer recognize separately from goodwill the identifiable assets acquired the liabilities assumed and any non controlling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date Acquisition costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed in the year incurred in operating expenses in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and equity Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured at fair value at the date of acquisition irrespective of the extent of any non controlling interest Any contingent consideration is also measured at fair value at the acquisition date When the Company is exposed or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with an investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee the investee is considered a subsidiary Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date that control is obtained by the Company Subsidiaries are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases b Financial instruments Financial assets are classified into the following categories financial instruments mandatorily measured at FVTPL trading and non trading financial instruments measured at amortized cost Equity investments are required to be measured at FVTPL except where the Company has elected at initial recognition to irrevocably designate an equity investment held for purposes other than trading at fair value through other comprehensive income FVOCI No such election has been made by the Company The classification and measurement for debt instruments depends on the Company s business model for managing the financial assets to generate cash flows and whether the contractual cash flows represent solely payment of principal and interest SPPI Business model assessment The business model determines whether cash flows will result from holding to collect contractual cash flows selling the financial assets or both The Company considers the following in the determination of the applicable business model for financial assets The business purpose of the portfolio The risks that are being managed and the type of business activities that are being carried out on a day to day basis to manage the risks The basis on which performance of the portfolio is being evaluated and The frequency and significance of sales activity Financial assets are required to be reclassified when and only when the business model under which they are managed has changed All reclassifications are to be applied prospectively from the reclassification date Contractual cash flows as solely payment of principal and interest assessment In assessing whether contractual cash flows are SPPI the Company considers the contractual terms of the instrument This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that they would not be consistent with a basic lending arrangement In making the assessment the Company considers the primary terms as follows and assesses if the contractual cash flows of the instruments continue to meet the SPPI test Performance linked features Terms that limit the Company s claim to cash flows from specified assets e g non recourse terms Prepayment and extension terms Leverage features and Features that modify elements of the time value of money 2021 ANNUAL REPORT FARM MUTUAL RE 31

3 Significant accounting policies continued 3 Significant accounting policies continued b Financial instruments continued Financial instruments mandatorily measured at FVTPL trading and non trading b Financial instruments continued Derecognition of financial instruments The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expires or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred Any interest in transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Company is recognized as a separate asset or liability Trading financial instruments are mandatorily measured at FVTPL as they are held for trading purposes or are part of a managed portfolio with a pattern of short term profit taking Non trading financial assets are also mandatorily measured at FVTPL if their contractual cash flow characteristics do not meet the SPPI test or if they are managed together with other financial instruments on a fair value basis Trading and non trading financial instruments mandatorily measured at FVTPL are remeasured at fair value as at the consolidated statement of financial position date Gains and losses realized on disposition unrealized gains and losses from changes in fair value and investment income are included in income and loss Transaction costs are expensed as incurred Dividends are recognized on the ex dividend date and interest is recognized on an accrual basis Both dividends and interest are included in investment income Financial instruments mandatorily measured at FVTPL comprise short term securities bonds and debentures mortgages preferred shares and common shares Financial instruments measured at amortized cost Financial instruments that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost These financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value plus or minus direct and incremental transaction costs and are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method net of an allowance for expected credit losses ECL Interest income from these financial instruments is included in investment income using the effective interest rate method Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognized directly in income or loss Impairment losses are presented as separate line item in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and equity Financial instruments measured at amortized cost comprise receivables arising from insurance contracts accrued premium under insurance contracts net of applicable commissions and fees deposits under insurance contracts other miscellaneous receivables payables arising from insurance contracts accrued premium under insurance contracts net of applicable commissions and fees investment transactions pending settlement trade payables and accrued liabilities Due to the short term nature of these financial instruments carrying value is considered to approximate fair value Fair value measurement The fair value of a financial instrument on initial recognition is defined as the fair value of the consideration given Subsequent to initial recognition fair value amounts represent estimates of the consideration that would currently be agreed upon between knowledgeable willing parties who are under no compulsion to act Fair value is best evidenced by quoted bid or ask price as appropriate in an active market Where bid or ask prices are not available such as in an illiquid or inactive market the closing price of the most recent transaction of that instrument subject to appropriate adjustments as required is used Where quoted market prices are not available the quoted prices of similar financial instruments or valuation models with observable market based inputs are used to estimate the fair value These valuation models may use multiple observable market inputs including observable interest rates foreign exchange rates index levels credit spreads equity prices counterparty credit quality and corresponding market volatility levels Minimal management judgment is required for fair values calculated using quoted market prices or observable market inputs for models The calculation of estimated fair value is based on market conditions at a specific point in time and may not be reflective of future fair values The Company uses the services of external security pricing vendors to obtain estimated fair values of securities in its investment portfolio Fair values of pooled funds and mutual funds are based on the quoted market values of the underlying investments The Company employs a fair value hierarchy as follows Level 1 inputs represent unadjusted quoted prices for identical financial instruments exchanged in active markets Level 2 inputs include directly or indirectly observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs such as quoted prices for similar financial instruments exchanged in active markets quoted prices for identical or similar financial instruments exchanged in active markets and other market observable inputs Level 3 inputs include unobservable inputs used in the measurement of financial instruments A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged cancelled or expires Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated statement of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously c Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand balances on deposit with banks and highly liquid investments that are readily converted into a known amount of cash are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value and have an original maturity of ninety days or less in the consolidated statement of financial position The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value d Land property and equipment Land is recognized at cost Property and equipment including the building is stated at cost excluding the costs of day to day servicing less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses Replacement costs are capitalized when incurred and if it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company Depreciation is provided on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets Land is not depreciated Property and equipment are depreciated on a straight line basis as follows Building Furniture and fixtures Computer equipment Useful life 15 50 years 5 10 years 3 5 years The assets residual values and useful lives and method of depreciation are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively if appropriate Property and equipment are derecognized upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected from their use or disposal Gains and losses on disposal are calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying value of the asset and are reported in operating expenses in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and equity Fully depreciated property and equipment are retained in cost and accumulated depreciation accounts until such assets are removed from service e Goodwill The Company measures goodwill as the fair value of the consideration transferred including the recognized amount of any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree less the net recognized amount of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed After initial recognition goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses f Intangible assets Intangible assets comprise capitalized costs to license and develop computer software where the software is not integral to the hardware on which it operates Intangible assets are measured initially at cost Following initial recognition intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and impairment losses Capitalized computer software assets have a finite useful life Capitalized computer software costs are amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset which is estimated to be five years for computer software assets Gains and losses arising from the disposition or impairment of an intangible asset are accounted for in the same manner as gains and losses arising from the disposition or impairment of property and equipment 32 FARM MUTUAL RE 2021 ANNUAL REPORT 2021 ANNUAL REPORT FARM MUTUAL RE 33

3 Significant accounting policies continued 3 Significant accounting policies continued g Impairment of financial assets The Company assesses at each reporting date whether a financial asset or group of financial assets other than financial assets at FVTPL is impaired A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset an incurred loss event and that loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty default or delinquency in interest or principal payments the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults When there is evidence of impairment the value of these financial instruments is written down to the estimated net realizable value through investment income in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and equity i Insurance contracts continued Premiums ceded Premiums ceded comprise the total premium payable for the whole period of cover provided by outwards reinsurance contracts entered into during the accounting period and are recognized on the date on which the insurance contract commences Premiums ceded include any adjustments arising in the accounting period for changes in premium in respect of reinsurance ceded in prior accounting periods h Impairment of non financial assets Non financial assets are tested for impairment in accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets which requires impairment to be assessed at a cash generating unit CGU level For purposes of impairment testing goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the Company s CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Company are assigned to those unties or group of units Reinsurers share of claims and adjustment expenses under outwards reinsurance contracts are recognized when the related claim under an inwards reinsurance contract is recognized according to the terms of the relevant reinsurance contract The Company performs an impairment review at least annually and whenever there is an indication that an asset may be impaired The fair value of the CGU has been determined based on the value in use VIU using a discounted cash flow model Impairment occurs when the carrying amount of the CGU exceeds the recoverable amount For CGU s which include goodwill impairment is recognized against goodwill prior to impairing other assets Any impairment of goodwill or other assets is recorded in income or loss in the year that such an impairment becomes evident Previously recorded impairment losses for goodwill are not reversed in future years if the recoverable amount increases i Insurance contracts Insurance contracts are those contracts that transfer significant insurance risk at the inception of the contract Insurance risk is transferred when the counterparty to an insurance contract agrees to compensate a policyholder on the occurrence of an adverse specified uncertain future event As a general guideline the Company determines whether it has significant insurance risk by comparing the benefits that could become payable or receivable under various possible scenarios relative to the premium received or paid for insuring the risk During the normal course of its business the Company assumes insurance risk from other insurance companies inwards reinsurance and cedes insurance risk to other reinsurance companies outwards reinsurance Inwards reinsurance generally results in the Company holding insurance contract liabilities while outwards reinsurance generally results in the Company holding insurance contract assets Through its wholly owned subsidiary the Company accepts insurance risk from policyholders direct insurance by agreeing to compensate the policyholder if a specified event the insured event with uncertain timing or amount adversely affects the policyholder Premiums direct Premiums direct comprise the total premiums receivable for the whole period of cover provided by direct insurance contracts entered into during the accounting period and are recognized on the date on which the insurance contract commences Premiums assumed Premiums assumed comprise the total premiums receivable for the whole period of cover provided by inwards reinsurance contracts entered into during the accounting period and are recognized on the date on which the insurance contract commences Premiums assumed include any adjustments arising in the accounting period for changes in estimated premium in respect of reinsurance assumed in prior accounting periods Premiums assumed are based upon

liabilities are derecognized when the obligation to pay a claim expires is discharged or is cancelled m Income taxes continued In determining the recoverability of deferred tax assets the Company primarily considers current and expected profitability and the ability to use any recorded tax assets The Company takes into consideration the underlying operation s performance as compared to plan the outlook of the business going forward the impact of enacted and proposed changes to tax law the availability of tax planning strategies and the expiry date of the tax losses Unpaid claims are first determined on a case by case basis as insurance claims are reported and then reassessed as additional information becomes known Included in unpaid claims is a provision to account for the future development of these insurance claims including insurance claims incurred but not reported IBNR by ceding insurers as well as a provision for adverse deviation PfAD Unpaid claims are valued on a discounted basis using a rate that reflects the estimated market yield of the underlying assets backing these unpaid claims The discount rate used to determine the value of claim liabilities is based on the fair value yield of the Company s bond portfolio Future changes in the bond portfolio could change the value of these claim liabilities by impacting the fair value yield Unearned premiums Unearned premiums UPR are those proportions of premiums written in a year on direct insurance contracts and inwards reinsurance contracts that relate to periods of risk after the reporting date The proportion attributable to subsequent periods is deferred as a provision for unearned premiums and is recognized over the remaining term of the insurance contract in net premiums earned on the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and equity Unearned commissions Unearned commissions on outwards reinsurance contracts are recognized as liabilities using principles consistent with the Company s method for determining deferred acquisition costs Liability adequacy test At the end of each reporting period a liability adequacy test is performed to validate the adequacy of unearned premiums and deferred acquisition costs A premium deficiency would exist if unearned premiums are deemed insufficient to cover the estimated future costs associated with the unexpired portion of written insurance contracts A premium deficiency would be recognized immediately as a reduction of deferred acquisition costs to the extent that unearned premiums plus anticipated investment income is not considered adequate to cover all deferred acquisition costs and related insurance claims and expenses If the premium deficiency is greater than the deferred acquisition costs a liability is accrued for the excess deficiency l Investment income Dividend income is recognized on the ex dividend date Interest income from debt securities is recognized on an accrual basis Dividend income

n Foreign currency Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the Company s functional currency at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions Monetary assets and monetary liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between amortized cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the period adjusted for effective interest and payments during the period and the amortized cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognized in net income and comprehensive income for the year o Post employment benefits The Company provides certain pension and other post employment benefits to eligible participants upon retirement Pension benefits Substantially all employees participate in a multi employer pension plan the Ontario Mutual Insurance Association Pension Plan the Plan which is a money purchase plan with a defined benefit option available to eligible employees at retirement The amount of the retirement benefits to be received by an employee is based on the employee s length of service and final average earnings The Plan exposes the participating employers to actuarial risks associated with the current and former employees of all employers The information provided to the Company by the Plan administrator in accordance with the Plan agreement is insufficient to consistently and reliably allocate the obligation Plan assets and cost to individual employers participating in the Plan The Plan is therefore accounted for as if it were a defined contribution plan recognizing contributions as an expense in the year to which they relate The Plan administrator obtains an actuarial valuation of the plan assets and liabilities in accordance with the Pension Benefits Act The actuarial valuation involves assumptions about discount rates future salary levels mortality rates inflation and future pension increases Due to the long term nature of the Plan such estimates are subject to significant uncertainty The Plan administrator may require the Company to make additional contributions for the amortization of any unfunded liability experience deficiency or solvency deficiency with respect to benefits previously accrued pursuant to the requirements of the Pension Benefits Act Contributions payable to the Plan in exchange for service rendered by a participating employee are recognized in the period in which the service is rendered Other contributions to the Plan are recognized when there is a present legal or constructive funding obligation Other contributions are measured on an undiscounted basis except where they are not expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after the end of the reporting period in which the funding obligation arose Pension benefit costs are included in operating expenses in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and equity Non pension benefits The Company provides lump sum payments on retirement and post employment extended health care and dental benefits to eligible retired employees Entitlement to these benefits is conditional on the employee remaining in service up to retirement age and the completion of a minimum service period There are no employee contributions and the benefits are not funded The defined benefit accrued obligation and current service cost are actuarially determined using the projected unit credit valuation method pro rated on service According to this method the accrued benefit obligation is equal to the actuarial present value of all future benefits multiplied by the ratio of the service at the valuation date to the service at the date when an employee is first eligible to receive the benefits This method involves the use of the market interest rate at the measurement date on high quality debt instruments for the discount rate and management s best estimates concerning such factors as salary escalation retirement ages of employees and expected extended health care and dental costs Such estimates are subject to significant uncertainty The current service cost for a period is equal to the actuarial present value of benefits attributed to employee s services rendered in the period Current service cost other than actuarial gains and losses are included in operating expenses in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and equity Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in full in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur and then immediately in voting and participating

framework for insurers to internally assess their risks and determine the level of capital required to support future solvency Outwards reinsurance is also used to protect the Company s capital level from large losses including those of a catastrophic nature which could have a detrimental impact on capital The Company has adopted policies that specify tolerance for insurance risk retention Once the retention limits are reached as disclosed in note 13 a outwards reinsurance is used to cover the excess risk The following table shows the MCT results As at December 31 Total capital available

risks is a key competency and is supported by a strong risk culture and an effective enterprise risk management process Risks are managed through an enterprise wide capability to recognize understand measure assess mitigate and monitor the risks taken across the organization to ensure Strategic and other planning and risk are aligned Risk taking activities are aligned with customer needs stakeholder expectations and legal and regulatory requirements and Business activities and transactions provide an appropriate balance of return for the risk assumed remain within the Company s risk appetite risk capacity and the level of capital appropriate to the nature scale and complexity of the Company s risks risk taking activities and operating environment The Company s exposure to potential loss from financial assets and insurance contracts primarily relates to insurance risk credit risk liquidity risk and various market risks including interest rate market price fluctuation risk and foreign currency risk a Insurance risk Insurance risk is the risk that the total cost of claims and claims adjustment expenses will exceed premiums received and can arise as a result of numerous factors including pricing risk reserving risk and catastrophe risk The following discussion outlines the most significant insurance risks and the practices employed to mitigate these risks Pricing risk Pricing risk arises when actual claims experience differs from the assumptions included in pricing calculations The Company focuses on profitable underwriting using a combination of pricing models and price adequacy monitoring tools Reinsurance products are priced taking into account numerous factors including claims frequency and severity trends the capital required to support the product line and the investment income earned on that capital The Company s pricing is designed to ensure an appropriate return on capital while also providing long term rate stability These factors are reviewed and adjusted periodically to ensure they reflect the current environment a Insurance risk continued the effect of inflationary trends on future claims settlement costs court decisions economic conditions and public attitudes In addition time can be a critical part of the provision determination since the longer the span between the incidence of a loss and the payment or settlement of the claims the more variable the ultimate settlement amount can be Accordingly short tail claims such as property claims tend to be more reasonably predictable than long tail claims such as general liability and automobile accident benefit claims that are less predictable The Company s liability for claims reserve is reviewed by and must be acceptable to the independent Appointed Actuary As the outstanding claim liabilities are intended to represent payments that will be made in the future they are discounted to reflect the time value of money effectively recognizing that the bonds held to support insurance liabilities will earn a return during that period The discount rate used to discount the actuarial value of claim liabilities is based on the fair value yield of the Company s bonds that support the claim liabilities note 5 In assessing the risks associated with investment income and therefore the discount rate the Company considers the nature of the bond portfolio and the timing of claim payments and the extent to which they match to expected investment cash flows Future changes in the bond portfolio could change the value of claim liabilities by impacting the fair value yield An interest rate sensitivity analysis demonstrates that a 1 change in interest rates results in an inverse change in the gross and net unpaid claims as shown in the

risk Reserving risk arises when actual claims experience differs adversely from the assumptions included in setting reserves The establishment of the estimated liability for unpaid claims is based on known facts and interpretation of circumstances and is therefore a complex and dynamic process influenced by a large variety of factors These factors include the Company s experience with similar cases and historical trends involving claim patterns loss payments pending levels of unpaid claims product mix or concentration claims severity and claim frequency patterns Other factors include the continually evolving and changing regulatory and legal environment actuarial studies professional experience and existing claims management practices 46 FARM MUTUAL RE 2021 ANNUAL REPORT 2021 ANNUAL

amounts paid for claims for each accident year as the current reporting date To allow for possible deterioration in experience and to increase the likelihood that the valuation of unpaid claims is adequate to pay future benefits accepted actuarial practice in Canada requires the inclusion of margins in some assumptions A range of allowable margins is prescribed by the Canadian Institute of Actuaries relating to claim development reinsurance recoveries and investment income variables The effect of the margins produces the PfAD The fair value of unpaid claims is calculated using the same margins for adverse deviation Claims development table gross The discount rate used to determine the value of claim liabilities is based on the fair value yield of the Company s bond portfolio Future

losses The Company evaluates potential catastrophic events and assesses the probability of occurrence and magnitude of these events through various modelling techniques The Company manages catastrophe exposure by factoring in levels of reinsurance protection capital levels and risk tolerances Reinsurance The Company purchases outwards reinsurance as part of its insurance risk mitigation program However outwards reinsurance does not relieve the Company from its primary commitments to ceding insurance companies under inwards reinsurance contracts If any reinsurers are unable to meet their obligations under the related agreements the Company would be liable for unrecoverable amounts The outwards reinsurance contracts purchased by the Company provide coverage for a one year term and are negotiated annually The availability and cost of outwards reinsurance are subject to prevailing market conditions both in terms of price and available capacity Market conditions are influenced by recent loss experience of the Company and of the industry in general The Company works with well established reinsurers that have expertise in their fields an understanding of the Company s business and satisfactory financial strength ratings Management reviews outwards reinsurance programs to manage cost efficiency and reduce the likelihood of coverage gaps 14 984 523 639 2021 ANNUAL REPORT FARM

operating activities are primarily the collection of premiums and reinsurance assets Cash inflows from investment activities are primarily repayments of principal sales of investment securities and investment income Net exposure to USD denominated amounts in USD included in the consolidated statement of financial position is as follows The Company focuses on the stress that could be placed on liquidity requirements as a result of severe disruption or volatility in the capital markets or extreme catastrophic activity or the combination of both The Company s liquidity management strategy is to hold cash cash equivalents and highly liquid high quality short term investment securities to meet anticipated obligations as they become due The Company also has a highly liquid investment portfolio The investment policy requires all investments to be in publicly traded securities that meet minimum size and trading requirements All financial liabilities mature in one year or less d Market risk Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market rates and prices such as interest rates the trading price of equity and other securities credit spreads and foreign currency exchange rates Market risk is directly influenced by the volatility and liquidity in markets in which the underlying assets and liabilities are traded expectations of future price and yield movements and the composition of the Company s investment portfolio Interest rate risk Fluctuations in interest rates have a direct impact on the market valuation of the Company s debt securities and preferred shares As interest rates rise the market value of debt securities and preferred shares declines and conversely as interest rates decline the market value of debt securities and preferred shares rises The Company s interest rate risk management strategy is to position its debt securities and preferred shares based on its view of future interest rates and the yield curve balanced with liquidity requirements The Company may reposition the portfolio in response to changes in the interest rate environment The table below shows the estimated increase or decrease in the fair value of the Company
