	Science Fair Projects - HIH Insurance
		HIH Insurance was founded in 1968 by Ray Williams and Michael Payne and at this time it was known as "M W Payne Underwriting Agency Pty Ltd".
		McGrath and Riddell described HIH's solvency as "marginal" and stated in their report that "an extremely small movement (just 1.7%) in the value of assets could move the balance sheet into net asset deficiency." Even the slightest setback to HIH would cause the company to become insolvent.
		Former HIH director Rodney Adler, son of FAI Insurance founder Larry Adler, was sentenced on 14 April 2005 to four and a half years jail, with a non-parole period of two and a half years.

	HIH Insurance - APRA's role revisited
		The provisional liquidation of the HIH Insurance Group is extremely regrettable and is causing a deal of stress for many people who are affected by it directly and indirectly.
		A common criticism has been that APRA knew HIH would be unable to meet its obligations to policyholders almost a year ago, and did nothing about it.
		HIHs externally audited accounts for 1999/2000, issued last September, showed net assets of close to $1 billion; and they showed it comfortably meeting statutory solvency requirements.
