As of

Total of the three largest receivable balances from unrelated reinsurers
$
167,472



At September 30, 2016, the three unrelated reinsurers from whom Fortegra has the largest receivable balances were: London Life International Reinsurance Corporation (A. M. Best Rating: Not rated); MFI Insurance Company, LTD (A. M. Best Rating: Not rated) and Frandicso Property and Casualty Insurance Corporation (A. M. Best Rating: Not rated). The related receivables of London Life International Reinsurance Corporation and MFI Insurance Company, LTD are collateralized by assets held in trust accounts and letters of credit due to their offshore relationships. At September 30, 2016, the Company does not believe there is a risk of loss due to the concentration of credit risk in the reinsurance program given the collateralization.
