During the period, the company’s net insurance claims increased by 100%, net commission surged by 70%, insurance claims and acquisition expenses mounted by 90.6% and management expenses rose by 50%, all of these contributed in declining company’s profitability.

Furthermore, a considerable increase in income taxes of about 748% further helped in declining company’s profitability.
