Reserves for recognizing a premium deficiency included in future policy benefits are established, if necessary, when the liability for future policy benefits plus the present value of expected future gross premiums are determined to be materially insufficient to provide for expected future policy benefits and expenses. Additionally, in certain instances the policyholder liability for a particular line of business may not be deficient in the aggregate to trigger loss recognition, but the pattern of earnings may be such that profits are expected to be recognized in earlier years followed by losses in later years. In these situations, accounting standards require that an additional liability be recognized by an amount necessary to sufficiently offset the losses that would be recognized in later years. The Company has not recognized any reserves related to premium deficiencies in the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. To the extent that a reinsurer is unable to meet its obligation under the related reinsurance agreements, Repwest would remain liable for the unpaid losses and loss expenses. Pursuant to certain of these agreements, Repwest holds letters of credit as of December 31, 2020 in the amount of $ 0.1 million from re-insurers and has issued letters of credit in the amount of $ 1.5 million in favor of certain ceding companies.

Leases Lessor We have determined that revenues derived by providing self-moving equipment rentals, self-storage rentals and certain other revenues, including U-Box rentals, are within the scope of the accounting guidance contained in Topic 842. Our self-moving equipment rental related revenues have been accounted for under the revenue accounting standard Topic 606, until the adoption of Topic 842. For the periods after April 1, 2019, we combined all lease and non-lease components of lease contracts for which the timing and pattern of transfer are the same and the lease component meets the classification of an operating lease, and account for them in accordance with Topic 842. The revenue streams accounted for in accordance with Topic 842 are recognized evenly over the period of rental. Please see Note 23, Revenue Recognition, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Lessee We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases, which are comprised primarily of storage rental locations, are included in ROU assets - operating and operating lease liability in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases, which are comprised primarily of rental equipment leases, are included in ROU assets - financing, net, and notes, loans and finance leases payable, net in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the expected remaining lease term. We use our incremental borrowing rate based on information available at commencement date, including the rate for a fully collateralized loan that can either be fully amortized or financed with a residual at the end of the lease term, for a borrower with similar credit quality in order to determine the present value of lease payments. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease, which are included in the calculation of ROU assets when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise those options. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. F- 38
