COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Reinsurance Agreements

We purchase reinsurance coverage for various lines of our business. The minimum reinsurance premiums are contractually due in advance on a quarterly basis. Accordingly at March 31, 2016, we have outstanding reinsurance purchase commitments of $36 million, of which $35 million is due in 2016 while the remaining $1 million is due in 2017. Actual payments under the reinsurance contracts will depend on the underlying subject premium and may exceed the minimum premium.

Investments

At March 31, 2016, we have a $20 million commitment to purchase commercial mortgage loans.
