| Segments |
The Company currently operates four business segments,
Small Commercial Business; Specialty Risk and Extended Warranty;
Specialty Program and Personal Lines Reinsurance. The
“Corporate & Other” segment represents the
activities of the holding company as well as a portion of service
and fee revenue. In determining total assets (excluding cash and
invested assets) by segment, the Company identifies those assets
that are attributable to a particular segment such as deferred
acquisition cost, reinsurance recoverable, goodwill, intangible
assets and prepaid reinsurance while the remaining assets are
allocated based on net written premium by segment. In determining
cash and invested assets by segment, the Company matches certain
identifiable liabilities such as unearned premium and loss and loss
adjustment expense reserves by segment. The remaining cash and
invested assets are then allocated based on net written premium by
segment. Investment income and realized gains (losses) are
determined by calculating an overall annual return on cash and
invested assets and applying that overall return to the cash and
invested assets by segment. Ceding commission revenue is allocated
to each segment based on that segment’s proportionate share
of the Company’s overall acquisition costs. Interest expense
is allocated based on net written premium by segment. Income taxes
are allocated on a pro-rata basis based on the Company’s
effective tax rate. Additionally, management reviews the
performance of underwriting income in assessing the performance of
and making decisions regarding the allocation of resources to the
segments. Underwriting income excludes, primarily, service and fee
revenue, investment income and other revenues, other expenses,
interest expense and income taxes. Management believes that
providing this information in this manner is essential to providing
Company’s shareholders with an understanding of the
Company’s business and operating performance.
During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company
derived over ten percent of gross written premium from one broker
in its Specialty Risk and Extended Warranty segment and was
approximately $85,000.
