Regulatory Requirements and Restrictions Regulatory Requirements and Restrictions
State laws and regulations, as well as national regulatory agency requirements, govern the operations of all insurers.
The various laws and regulations require that insurers maintain minimum amounts of statutory surplus and risk-
based capital (“RBC”); restrict insurers’ ability to pay dividends; restrict the allowable investment types and
investment mixes and subject the Company’s insurers to assessments.
The Company’s insurance subsidiary is subject to regulations and standards of the FLOIR. It is also subject to
regulations and standards of regulatory authorities in other states where they are licensed, although as a Florida-
domiciled insurer, its principal regulatory authority is the FLOIR.
The Company’s insurance subsidiary, AIIC, prepares its statutory-basis financial statements in accordance with
statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by FLOIR. The commissioner of the FLOIR has the right to
permit other practices that may deviate from prescribed practices. AIIC does not obtain and follow any permitted
practice. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, AIIC reported statutory capital and surplus of $193,080
and $149,586, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, AIIC reported
statutory net income of $42,028 and $29,088, respectively. Statutory-basis surplus differs from shareholders’ equity
reported in accordance with GAAP primarily because policy acquisition costs are expensed when incurred, certain
assets that are not admitted assets are eliminated from the consolidated balance sheets and surplus notes are reported
as surplus rather than liabilities. In addition, the recognition of deferred tax assets is based on different recoverability
assumptions.
The Florida statutes require a residential property insurance company to maintain statutory surplus as to
policyholders of at least $1,500 or 10% of the insurer’s total liabilities, whichever is greater. Accordingly, as of
December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, AIIC exceeded the minimum statutory surplus requirement, which was
$19,308 and $14,959, respectively. Under Florida law, without regulatory approval, AIIC may pay dividends if they
do not exceed the greater of: (i) the lesser of 10% of surplus or net income, not including realized capital gains, plus
a two-year carry forward; (ii) 10% of surplus, with dividends payable limited to unassigned funds minus 25% of
unrealized capital gains; or (iii) the lesser of 10% of surplus or net investment income plus a three-year carry
forward with dividends payable limited to unassigned funds minus 25% of unrealized capital gains. AIIC did not pay
any dividends for 2025 or 2024, and it can still pay dividends without regulatory approval.
AIIC is also required annually to comply with the NAIC RBC requirements. RBC requirements prescribe a method
of measuring the amount of capital appropriate for an insurance company to support its overall business operations
in light of its size and risk profile. NAIC RBC requirements are used by regulators to determine appropriate
regulatory actions relating to insurers who show signs of a weak or deteriorating condition. As of December 31,
2025 and December 31, 2024, based on calculations using the appropriate NAIC RBC formula, AIIC total adjusted
capital in excess of the requirements.
AIIC has maintained a cash deposit with the Insurance Commissioner of the State of Florida and other states in
which AIIC is authorized to write business in order to meet regulatory requirements and such cash deposit is
included in restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheets.
In addition, Florida property and casualty insurance companies are required to adhere to prescribed premium-to-
capital surplus ratios. Florida state law requires that the ratio of 90% of premiums written divided by surplus as to
policyholders does not exceed 10 to 1 for gross premiums written or 4 to 1 for net premiums written. As of
December 31, 2025, AIIC had a ratio of gross and net premiums written to surplus of 4.4 to 1 and 1.1 to 1,
respectively, which met the requirements. 
The insurance subsidiary’s statutory capital and surplus necessary to satisfy regulatory requirements in the aggregate
was $57,335 and $46,972 at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. As of December 31, 2025
and December 31, 2024, the amount of retained earnings not available for the payment of dividends was $19,308
and $14,959, respectively.
The Company also has the Catstyle reinsurance segregated account, where the Company can withdraw from cash
held in the segregated account, but must provide written notice to the trustee in the form of a withdrawal notice in
order to access the funds. However, consent of the grantor is not required to access the funds, and the funds’ use is
not restricted within the terms of the trust agreement. Catstyle is regulated by the Authority and is required to meet
and maintain certain minimum levels of solvency and liquidity. Catstyle’s statutory capital and surplus necessary to
satisfy the regulatory requirements in the aggregate was $38,398 and $9,610 as of December 31, 2025 and
December 31, 2024, respectively. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the actual amount of statutory
capital and surplus was $38,398 and $9,610, respectively. The liabilities of Catstyle are fully collateralized and
accordingly capital and surplus are available to be paid out in dividends and subject to approval in accordance with
regulations of the Authority.
