The area is served as United States Postal Service ZIP Code 08858. As of the United States 2000 Census, the population for ZIP Code Tabulation Area 08858 was 177. -- A.M. Best Co. has affirmed the financial strength rating of B+ (Good) and the issuer credit rating of "bbb-" of National Life Insurance Company SAOC SAOC Studies in Ancient Oriental Civilization SAOC Sunbeam Alpine Owners Club (UK) SAOC Sector Air Operations Center SAOC South African Orchid Council SAOC Submariners Association Of Canada (Gloucester, ON, Canada) (NLIC NLIC National Lead Information Center NLIC National Landslide Information Center NLIC National Life Insurance Company NLIC National Lenders' Insurance Council ) (Oman). The outlook for both ratings is stable. The ratings reflect NLIC's established share of its domestic market, strong risk-adjusted capitalisation and solid operating performance. An offsetting factor is an anticipated change in the company's business profile to include more medical health risk and the development of non-life products, which is expected to result in a move away from traditional life insurance to become a composite insurer in lines where it has limited experience. A.M. Best expects NLIC to maintain its very good business position in Oman as the leading life insurer with approximately a 65% market share of gross premiums written When a non-life insurance company closes a contract to provide insurance against loss, the revenues (premiums) expected to be received over the life of the contract are called gross premiums written. . NLIC provides group life creditor business, life assurance, investment and medical health products. This limits NLIC's ability for expansion in its local life market. Expansion in new segments, such as medical healthcare in recent years, non-life in 2007 and expansion into regional markets are the only ways of growth but also bring increased operational risk. The company showed a strong performance in developing medical health care in 2006, supported by rapid premium growth and strict underwriting guidelines. NLIC's risk-adjusted capitalisation has strengthened in the short term, as the absolute amount of capital increased by OMR (Optical Mark Reader) A scanner that reads marks on specific areas of the page.

Furthermore, the company continues to experience solid operating performance with pre-tax profits of OMR 3.3 million (USD 8.6 million). However, A.M. Best believes that if the company's projections for expansion into non-life and regional markets are to be realized, then the risk-adjusted capitalisation--to some extent--may come under pressure.
