refer to in this prospectus as the &#147;Series A Preferred.&#148; Dividends on the Series A Preferred will be cumulative from the date of original issue and will accrue on the last day of each month, at an annual rate of 7.0% of the $10.00
liquidation preference per share. Accrued but unpaid dividends will accumulate and earn additional dividends at 7.0%, compounded monthly. Each share of the Series A Preferred will be convertible, at the holder&#146;s option at any time, initially
into one share of our common stock based upon an initial conversion price of $10.00 per share; provided, however, that we may terminate this conversion right on or after March&nbsp;31, 2014, if, for at least twenty trading days within any period of
thirty consecutive trading days, the market price of our common stock exceeds the conversion price of the Series A Preferred by more than 20% and our common stock is then traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Global Select Market, the

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Homeowners Choice, Inc. is a property and casualty insurance holding company incorporated in Florida in 2006. Through our subsidiaries, we provide property and casualty homeowners&#146; insurance,
condominium-owners&#146; insurance, and tenants&#146; insurance to individuals owning property in Florida. We offer these insurance products at competitive rates, while pursuing profitability using selective underwriting criteria. Our principal
revenues are earned premiums, which are reported net of reinsurance costs, and investment income. We cede a substantial portion of our earned premiums to reinsurers to mitigate risks primarily associated with hurricanes and other catastrophic
events. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We began operations in September of 2007 by participating in a &#147;take-out program&#148; through which we assumed
insurance policies held by Citizens Property Insurance Corporation (&#147;Citizens&#148;), a Florida state-supported insurer. The take-out program is a legislatively mandated program designed to reduce the state&#146;s risk exposure by encouraging
private companies to assume policies from Citizens. As of January 28, 2011, we have approximately 62,430 property and casualty insurance policies in force. These policies were assumed in eight separate assumption transactions which took place from
July 2007 through December 2010, and account for substantially all of our premium revenue since inception. Of those policies assumed, approximately 86% are homeowners&#146; insurance policies, and the remaining 14% are a combination of policies
written for condominium-owners and tenants. As of January&nbsp;28, 2011, our existing policies represent approximately $130.5 million in annualized premiums. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Subsequent to the initial expiration of the assumed policies, Citizens requires us to offer renewals on the policies we acquire for a period of three years. The policyholders have the option to renew with
us or they may ask their agent to place their coverage with another insurance company. We strive to retain these policies by offering competitive rates to our policyholders. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We face various challenges to implementing our operating and growth strategies. Since we write policies that cover Florida homeowners, condominium owners, and tenants, we cover losses that may arise from,
among other things, catastrophes, which could have a significant effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. To mitigate our risk of such losses, we cede a portion of our exposure to other entities under catastrophe
excess of loss reinsurance treaties. Even without catastrophic events, we may incur losses and loss adjustment expenses that deviate substantially from our estimates and that may exceed our reserves, in which case our net income and capital would
decrease. Our operating and growth strategies may also be impacted by </FONT></P>

affect our financial condition and results of operations. </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">While we actively manage our exposure to catastrophic events
through our underwriting process and the purchase of reinsurance, a single catastrophic event, destructive weather pattern, general economic trend, regulatory development or other condition specifically affecting the state of Florida could have a
disproportionately adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, the fact that our business is concentrated in the state of Florida subjects it to increased exposure to certain catastrophic events and
destructive weather patterns such as hurricanes, tropical storms, and floods. Changes in the prevailing regulatory, legal, economic, political, demographic, competitive, and other conditions in the state of Florida could also make it less attractive
for us to do business in Florida and would have a more pronounced effect on our business than it would on other insurance companies that are geographically diversified. Since our business is concentrated in this manner, the occurrence of one or more
catastrophic events or other conditions affecting losses in the state of Florida could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The insurance business historically has been a cyclical industry characterized by periods of intense price competition due to excessive underwriting capacity, as well as periods when shortages of capacity
permitted an increase in pricing and, thus, more favorable underwriting profits. An increase in premium levels is offset over time by an increased supply of insurance capacity, either by capital provided by new entrants or by the commitment of
additional capital by existing insurers, which may cause prices to decrease. Any of these factors could lead to a significant reduction in premium rates, less favorable policy terms and fewer opportunities to underwrite insurance risks, which could
have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows. In addition to these considerations, changes in the frequency and severity of losses suffered by insureds and insurers may affect the cycles of the insurance business
significantly. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We cannot predict whether market conditions will improve, remain constant or deteriorate. Negative market

many factors will affect our capital needs and their amount and timing, including our growth and profitability, and the availability of reinsurance, as well as possible acquisition opportunities, market disruptions and other unforeseeable

could result, and in any case such securities may have rights, preferences and privileges that are senior to those of existing shareholders. If we cannot obtain adequate capital on favorable terms or at all, our business, financial condition or

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Because we assumed substantially all of our current policies from Citizens, our rates are based, to a certain extent, on the rates charged by Citizens. In determining the rates we charge in connection
with the policies we assumed from Citizens, our rates must be equal to or less than the rates charged by Citizens during the first full year following the assumption. If Citizens increases its rates, we may not automatically increase our rates. The
risk that Citizens will reduce its rates, as it has recently done, is exacerbated by the fact that, absent certain circumstances, we must continue to provide coverage to the policyholders that we assume from Citizens for a period of three years.
Also, inherent in the process of assuming policies from Citizens, there is a risk that a policy or policies that we have assumed from Citizens will opt out of joining us and will return to Citizens, requiring us to refund the unearned policy
premium. If this were to occur for a significant number of policies, it could impact our financial results as we would have incurred costs in connection with the assumption of the policies for which we would no longer receive any premium.
Consequently, we could under price risk in connection with the policies originating from Citizens, which would negatively affect our profit margins. With respect to the voluntary policies that we write, we could also overprice risks, which could
reduce our sales volume and competitiveness. In either event, our profitability could be materially and adversely affected. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Current

generally require each insurance company in the holding company group to register with the department of insurance in its state of domicile and to furnish information concerning the operations of the companies within the holding company system which
may materially affect the operations, management or financial condition of the insurers within the group. As part of its registration, each insurance company must identify material agreements, relationships and transactions with affiliates,
including without limitation loans, investments, asset transfers, transactions outside of the ordinary course of business, certain management, service, and cost sharing agreements, reinsurance transactions, dividends, and consolidated tax allocation
agreements. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Insurance holding company regulations generally provide that transactions between an insurance company and its

to, state regulatory authorities. If we are unable to obtain the requisite prior approval for a specific transaction, we would be precluded from taking the action which could adversely affect our operations. </FONT></P>

will generally take precedence. Currently, the federal government&#146;s role in regulating or dictating the policies of insurance companies is limited. However, Congress, from time to time, considers proposals that would increase the role of the
federal government in insurance regulation, either in addition to or in lieu of state regulation. The impact of any future federal insurance regulation on our insurance operations is unclear and may adversely impact our business or competitive

holders of the Series A Preferred described in the articles of amendment to our articles of incorporation setting forth the rights, preferences and limitations of the Series A Preferred, we can also create or authorize the issuance of a class or
series of preferred stock that ranks senior to the Series A Preferred as to dividend rights or liquidation preferences. If we were to liquidate our business, we would be required to repay all of our outstanding indebtedness, if any, and to satisfy
the liquidation preferences of any senior equity securities that we may issue in the future before we could make any distributions to holders of the Series A Preferred. We could have insufficient cash available to do so, in which case you would not
receive any payment on the amounts due you. Moreover, we can issue, without the approval of the holders of the Series A Preferred, up to an additional 18,500,000 shares of any class or series of preferred stock that will rank on parity with the
Series A Preferred as to dividend rights and liquidation preferences, and any amounts remaining after the payment of senior securities would be split equally among all holders of those shares of stock, which might result in your receiving less than
the full amount due you. </FONT></P>

generally provides that shares acquired in excess of certain specified thresholds, without first obtaining the approval of our board of directors, will not possess any voting rights unless such voting rights are approved by a majority of a
corporation&#146;s disinterested shareholders. The Florida Affiliated Transactions Act generally requires supermajority approval by disinterested shareholders of certain specified transactions between a public corporation and holders of more than
10% of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation (or their affiliates). Florida law also authorizes us to indemnify our directors, officers, employees and agents under certain circumstances and to limit the personal liability of corporate
directors for monetary damages, except where the directors (i)&nbsp;breach their fiduciary duties and (ii)&nbsp;such breach constitutes or includes certain violations of criminal law, a transaction from which the directors derived an improper
personal benefit, certain unlawful distributions or certain other reckless, wanton or willful acts or misconduct. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>NASDAQ Trading
