ASSURANCEAMERICA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2011 and 2010

(1) Description of Business

AssuranceAmerica Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) is an insurance holding company whose business is comprised of AssuranceAmerica Insurance Company (“AAIC”), AssuranceAmerica Managing General Agency, LLC (“MGA”) and TrustWay Insurance Agencies, LLC (“TrustWay”), each wholly-owned. The Company solicits and underwrites non-standard private passenger automobile insurance. The Company is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Consolidation and Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In our opinion, the financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim period. For further information, please refer to our audited consolidated financial statements appearing in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Basis of Investments and Presentation

Valuation of available-for-sale investments. Our available for sale investment portfolio is recorded at fair value, which is typically based on publicly-available quoted prices. From time to time, the carrying value of our investments may be temporarily impaired because of the inherent volatility of publicly-traded investments.

We conduct regular reviews to assess whether our investments are impaired and if any impairment is other than temporary. Factors considered by us in assessing whether an impairment is other than temporary include the credit quality of the investment, the duration of the impairment, our ability and intent to hold the investment until recovery or maturity and overall economic conditions. If we determine that the value of any investment is other-than-temporarily impaired, we record a charge against earnings in the amount of the impairment. The credit loss component of an impairment charge is recognized in net earnings while the non-credit component is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income.

Gains and losses realized on the disposition of available for sale investment securities are determined on the specific identification basis and credited or charged to income. Premiums and discounts on available for sale investment securities are amortized and accreted using the interest method and charged or credited to investment income.

Other long-term investments. Our other long-term investment consists of low income federal housing tax credits, which are being amortized over the life of the credits using the amortized cost method. The credits will be utilized over 10 years as required by the federal government and will be offset against the Company’s federal income tax expenses.

Estimates

A discussion of our significant accounting policies and the use of estimates is included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the 2010 Form 10-K.

Balance sheet reclassifications

Balance sheet reclassifications have been made in 2010 in order to conform to the presentation in 2011.

New Accounting Standards Adopted

In December 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-29 (“ASU 2010-29”), under Topic 805 Business Combinations; the objective of this update is to address diversity in practice about the interpretation of the pro forma revenue and earnings disclosure requirements for business combinations. Paragraph 805-10-50-2(h) requires a public entity to disclose pro forma information for business combinations that occurred in the current reporting period. The disclosures include pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined entity for the current reporting period as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the year had been as of the beginning of the annual reporting period. If comparative financial statements are presented, the pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined entity for the comparable prior reporting period should be reported as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the current year had been as of the beginning of the

comparable prior annual reporting period. The amendments in this update affect any public entity as defined by Topic 805 that enters into business combinations that are material on an individual or aggregate basis. The update also specifies that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Company adopted the amendments and they did not have any impact to its financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-28 (“ASU 2010-28”), under Topic 350 on goodwill and other intangible assets. When a goodwill impairment test is performed (either on an annual or interim basis), an entity must assess whether the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value (Step 1). If it does, an entity must perform an additional test to determine whether goodwill has been impaired and to calculate the amount of that impairment (Step 2). The objective of this update is to address questions about entities with reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts because some entities concluded that Step 1 of the test is passed in those circumstances because the fair value of their reporting unit will generally be greater than zero. As a result of that conclusion, some constituents raised concerns that Step 2 of the test is not performed despite factors indicating that goodwill may be impaired. The amendments in this update do not provide guidance on how to determine the carrying amount or measure the fair value of the reporting unit. The amendments in this update affect all entities that have recognized goodwill and have one or more reporting units whose carrying amount for purposes of performing Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test is zero or negative.

For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. The qualitative factors are consistent with the existing guidance and examples in paragraph 350-20-35-30, which requires that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Upon adoption of the amendments, an entity with reporting units that have carrying amounts that are zero or negative is required to assess whether it is more likely than not that the reporting units’ goodwill is impaired. If the entity determines that it is more likely than not that the goodwill of one or more of its reporting units is impaired, the entity should perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test for those reporting unit(s). For public entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company adopted the amendments and they did not have any impact to its financial statements and related disclosures.

(3) Investments

All of the Company’s marketable equity and long-term investment securities have been classified as available-for-sale. The Company’s long-term securities are available to be sold in response to the Company’s liquidity needs, changes in market interest rates, asset-liability management strategies, and other economic factors. Investments available-for-sale are stated at fair value on the balance sheet. The other long-term investments consist of low income federal housing tax credits, which are being amortized over the life of the credits using the amortized cost method. Unrealized gains and losses are excluded from earnings and are reported as a component of other comprehensive income within stockholders’ equity net of related deferred income taxes.

A decline in the fair value of an available-for-sale security below cost that is deemed other than temporary results in a charge to income, resulting in the establishment of a new cost basis for the security. Net unrealized gains as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were $483,013 and $334,600, respectively.

Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted, respectively, over the life of the related fixed maturity security as an adjustment to yield using a method that approximates the effective interest method. Dividends and interest income are recognized when earned. Realized gains and losses are included in earnings and are derived using the specific-identification method for determining the cost of securities sold.

As of June 30, 2011, the Company has determined that all of the unrealized losses in available-for-sale securities were temporary.

There were no fundamental issues with any of these securities and the Company has the ability and intent to hold the securities until there is a recovery in fair value. The carrying amounts of individual assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to assess whether the fair values have declined below the carrying amounts. The Company considers internal and external information, such as credit ratings, in concluding that the impairments are not other than temporary. The decline in value of investments (bonds) is principally driven by rate.

The following table shows the gross unrealized losses and fair value of securities, aggregated by category and length of time that securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

(4) Fair Value Disclosures

The fair value of our investments in fixed income and equity securities is based on observable market quotations, other market observable data, or is derived from such quotations and market observable data. The Company utilizes third party pricing servicers, brokers and internal valuation models to determine fair value. Management gains assurance of the overall reasonableness and consistent application of the assumptions and methodologies and compliance with accounting standards for fair value determination through our ongoing monitoring of the fair values received or derived internally.

Level 1 inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments at the measurement date (e.g., U.S. Treasury securities and active exchange-traded equity securities). Level 2 securities are comprised of securities whose fair value was determined by a nationally recognized pricing service using observable market inputs. Level 3 securities are comprised of (i) securities for which the pricing service is unable to provide a fair value, (ii) securities whose fair value is determined by the pricing service based on unobservable inputs and (iii) securities, other than securities backed by the U.S. Government, that are not rated by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.

(5) Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses

The estimated liabilities for losses and loss adjustment expenses include the accumulation of estimates for losses for claims reported prior to the balance sheet dates (“case reserves”), estimates (based upon actuarial analysis of historical data) of losses for claims incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) and for the development of case reserves to ultimate values, and estimates of expenses for investigating, adjusting and settling all incurred claims. Amounts reported are estimates of the ultimate costs of settlement, net of estimated salvage and subrogation. These estimated liabilities are subject to the outcome of future events, such as changes in medical and repair costs as well as economic and social conditions that impact the settlement of claims. Management believes that, given the inherent variability in any such estimates, the aggregate reserves are reasonably adequate. The methods of making such estimates and for establishing the resulting reserves are reviewed and updated quarterly and any resulting adjustments are reflected in current operations.

A summary of unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses, net of reinsurance ceded, is as follows:


	June 30, 2011		December 31, 2010
Case basis	$	5,773,879	$	5,180,252
IBNR		7,727,334		4,720,369

Total	$	13,501,213	$	9,900,621

(6) Reinsurance

In the normal course of business, the Company seeks to reduce its overall risk levels by obtaining reinsurance from other insurance enterprises or reinsurers. Reinsurance premiums and reserves on reinsured business are accounted for on a basis consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts.

Effective May 15, 2011, the Company entered into a new catastrophe agreement with Shelter Mutual Insurance Company. The Reinsurer shall be liable for private passenger automobile physical damage coverage with respect to each loss occurrence, for the ultimate net loss over and above an initial ultimate net loss of $400,000 each loss occurrence, subject to a limit of liability to the reinsurer of $1,600,000 each loss occurrence, and further subject to a limit of liability to the reinsurer of $3,200,000 with respects to all loss occurrences commencing during the term of this contract.

Effective April 1, 2011, the Company entered into a new quota share agreement with Greenlight Reinsurance Ltd. for the 2011 treaty year business. The Company has agreed to cede 50% of the bodily injury liability, physical damage and other automobile liability coverages. This reinsurance contract will cover the state of Florida. The losses incurred are ceded on a similar basis.

The Company will receive a 19% ceding commission on ceded premiums earned if the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio as a percentage of earned premium is 75.5% or greater. If the loss ratio is less than 75.5%, but not less than 71.5% then the ceding commission shall be 19.0%, plus one half of the difference in percentage points between 75.5% and the actual loss ratio. If the loss ratio is 71.5% or less, then the ceding commission rate will be 21.0%. The Company receives a provisional commission rate of 20% in advance, which is subject to adjustment once the final loss ratio is known.

Effective January 1, 2011, the Company entered into a new quota share agreement with Swiss Reinsurance America Corporation for the 2011 treaty year business. The Company has agreed to cede 75.0% of the bodily injury liability coverage and 82.5% of physical damage and other automobile liability coverages. The reinsurance contract will cover all states except Florida. The losses incurred are ceded on a similar basis. The agreement includes a loss corridor of 75.0%-79.0%, whereby the Company shall retain the amount by which losses and LAE incurred exceed 75% of collected net premiums earned, subject to a maximum additional retention equal to 4% of collected net premiums earned. Further, the Company shall retain the amount by which losses and LAE incurred, after the application of the loss corridor, exceeds 120% of collected net premiums earned Loss Ratio Cap.

The Company will receive a 21% ceding commission on ceded premiums earned if the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio as a percentage of earned premium is 73.5% or greater. If the loss ratio is 73.5%, but not less than 71.5% then the ceding commission shall be 21.0%, plus the difference in percentage points between 73.5% and the actual loss ratio. If the loss ratio is 71.5% or less, then the ceding commission rate will be 23.0%. The Company receives a provisional commission rate of 23% in advance, which is subject to adjustment once the final loss ratio is known.

Reinsurance assets include balances due from other insurance companies under the terms of reinsurance agreements. Amounts applicable to ceded unearned premiums, ceded loss payments and ceded claims liabilities are reported as assets in the accompanying balance sheets. Under the reinsurance agreements the Company has four reinsurers that are required to collateralize the reinsurance recoverable. As of June 30, 2011 all four reinsurers have provided a letter of credit or secured trust accounts to provide security sufficient to satisfy AAIC’s obligations under the reinsurance agreement. The Company believes the fair value of its reinsurance recoverable approximates its carrying amounts.

The impact of reinsurance on the statements of operations for the period ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was as follows:

The Company receives commissions on its reinsurance agreements for treaty year 2011 on the basis of ceded collected premium. The Company received commissions on its reinsurance agreements for treaty year 2010 and prior on the basis of ceded written premium. The Company pays the reinsurers premium on the basis of ceded collected premium for all of its reinsurance agreements.

As of June 30, 2011 the Company received $4,178,077 in commissions on ceded collected premiums and refunded $976,396 in commissions on returned ceded written premium, for net commissions of $3,201,681. Had all of the Company’s reinsurance agreements been cancelled at June 30, 2011, the company would have returned $1,128,173 in reinsurance commissions to its reinsurers and its reinsurers would have returned $2,576,630 in collected premiums to the Company.

(8) Borrowings

Revolving Line of Credit

On June 30, 2010, the Company entered into a First Amendment Agreement (the “First Amendment”) to the Loan Agreement between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (as successor in interest by merger to Wachovia Bank, N.A.) (The “Lender”). The First Amendment amends the Loan Agreement, dated July 17, 2009, between the Company and the Lender (the “Loan Agreement”).

The First Amendment extends the maturity date for the facility to July 16, 2011. However, the lender extended the agreement through September 30, 2011. The proceeds of the facility may be used for funding certain permitted acquisitions, funding short-term loans to the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, AAIC, or for working capital or general corporate needs in the ordinary course of business. The credit facility is secured by a pledge of the Company’s ownership interests in two of the Company’s subsidiaries, TrustWay and MGA, and is guaranteed by the same entities. In addition, TrustWay pledged its ownership interest in TrustWay T.E.A.M., Inc., which is also a guarantor.

The Loan Agreement and the First Amendment include customary covenants, including financial covenants regarding minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and minimum net worth. As of June 30, 2011, the Company received a waiver for the fixed charge covenant, but was in compliance with all the other covenants. The First Amendment provides that the facility shall be repaid in full and no loans under the facility may be outstanding for at least one period of 30 consecutive days during each 12-month period in which the Loan Agreement is in effect. In addition, the Company’s minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, which was 1.35 under the Loan Agreement, decreased to 1.10 for each of the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2010 and increased to 1.25 for each subsequent fiscal quarter. The interest rate is 3.00% plus 90-day LIBOR (3.246% at June 30, 2011) due and payable monthly. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there is $1.5 million in borrowings outstanding under the credit agreement.

Notes Payable

The Company had two notes payable outstanding as of June 30, 2011. First, on January 14, 2008 the Company issued a note payable in the amount of $276,250 with Information Distribution & Marketing, Inc. for the purchase of a software package that grants the Company a perpetual license to the source code and the ability to develop derivatives and advance the product to meet business demands and react to changing market conditions. The note requires monthly principal and interest payments beginning in January 2008 and matures in November 2012 with an interest rate of 2.8871% per annum. The outstanding principal balance on the note at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $87,244 and $115,480, respectively.

Second, as a result of the acquisition of First Choice Insurance Agency effective February 26, 2009 the Company issued an unsecured promissory note payable to the former owner in the amount of $115,200 which carries an interest rate of 5%, with four equal yearly installments of principal and interest payments beginning February 26, 2010. The outstanding balance on the note at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $57,600. Further, the Company had accrued interest of $3,083 related to its line of credit as of June 30, 2011.

(9) Capital Stock

Common Stock

During the first six months of 2011 and 2010, the Company issued 316,174 and 350,000 shares of common stock, $.01 par value to its board of directors, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

In April of 2010, the Company’s shareholders approved a new Stock Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”). The Company’s 2010 Plan provides for the granting of stock options to officers, key employees, directors, consultants, independent contractors and other agents at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The Company believes that such awards better align the interests of its associates with those of its shareholders. Options become exercisable at various dates, generally vesting over a five-year continuous period of service and have similar contractual terms. Certain employment agreements may provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control of the Company (as defined in the Plan). Generally, options are issued with exercise prices no less than the fair market value of the common stock at the time of the grant (or in the case of a ten-percent-or-greater stockholder, 110 percent of fair market value). The aggregate number of common shares authorized under the 2010 Plan is currently 2,000,000. The common stock is reserved and available for issuance pursuant to awards granted to participants under 2010 Plan. As of June 30, 2011, there were 1,452,000 shares of the Company’s common stock subject to outstanding awards under the 2010 Plan.

The Company’s Prior 2000 Incentive Plan (the “Prior Plan”) has an aggregate total of 8,500,000 authorized common shares, but no additional awards will be granted under this Plan, as it expired in June 2010. As of June 30, 2011, there were 5,780,455 shares of the Company’s common stock subject to outstanding awards under the Prior Plan.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model using the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of the Company’s stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate expected term and option forfeitures within the valuation model. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The Company does not provide for any expected dividends or discount for post-vesting restrictions in the model.

The fair value of each option awarded during the six-months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model using the assumptions noted in the following table.


	2011	2010
Weighted average grant date fair value	$0.1950	$0.1842
Expected volatility	160% - 163%	164% - 168%
Weighted average volatility	162%	167%
Risk-free interest rate	2.53 - 2.92%	2.14 - 2.59%
Expected term (in years)	6.4	4.7
Expected forfeitures	7.1%	6.7%

(14) Accounting Standards Updates

In June of 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 (“ASU”) 2011-05, under the presentation of Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). The objective of this update is to improve the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. To increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income and to facilitate convergence of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the FASB decided to eliminate the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity, among other amendments in this update. The amendments require that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In the two-statement approach, the first statement should present total net income and its components followed consecutively by a second statement that should present total other comprehensive income, the components of other comprehensive income, and the total of comprehensive income.

The statement of other comprehensive income should immediately follow the statement of net income. Regardless of whether an entity chooses to present comprehensive income in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements, the entity is required to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, because compliance with the amendments is already permitted. The amendments do not require any transition disclosures. The Company is currently assessing this requirement and we do not expect any financial impact related to this disclosure.

In May of 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04 (ASU 2011-04) amendments to achieve common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (Topic 820). The FASB and IFRS boards worked together to ensure that fair value has the same meaning in U.S. GAAP and in IFRSs and that their respective fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are the same (except for minor differences in wording and style). The boards concluded that the amendments in this update will improve the comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The amendments in this update explain how to measure fair value. They do not require additional fair value measurements and are not intended to establish valuation standards or affect valuation practices outside of financial reporting. The amendments in this update apply to all reporting entities that are required or permitted to

measure or disclose the fair value of an asset, a liability, or an instrument classified in a reporting entity’s shareholders’ equity in the financial statements. Some of the disclosures required by the amendments in this update are not required for nonpublic entities. Those disclosures include the following: (1) information about transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, (2) information about the sensitivity of a fair value measurement categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy to changes in unobservable inputs and any interrelationships between those unobservable input, (3) the categorization by level of the fair value hierarchy for items that are not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position, but for which the fair value of such items is required to be disclosed.

The amendments in this update are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application by public entities is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing this requirement and we do not expect any financial impact related to this disclosure.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Continuing Operations

The Company reported a net after-tax loss on continuing operations of $2.1 million and $1.9 million for the three-months and six-months ended June 30, 2011, compared to earnings of $0.3 million and $1.1 million for the three-months and six-months ended June 30, 2010. The Company reported basic and fully diluted losses per common share on continuing operations of $0.031 and $0.029 for the three-months and six-months ended June 30, 2011, compared to earnings of $0.005 and $0.017 for the same period in 2010. The pre-tax loss on continuing operations was $3.3 million and $3.0 million for the three-months and six-months period ended June 30, 2011 and pre-tax earnings of $0.6 million and $2.0 million for 2010, respectively.

The pre-tax loss on continuing operations for the three-months and six-months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same period last year, relates to lower earnings in the wholesale operation (AAIC and MGA). Loss and loss adjustment expense increased by $4.4 million and $5.4 million for the three-months and six-months periods, respectively. Ceding commission income declined by $0.2 million for the three-month period and $1.3 million for the six-month period, resulting from lower ceded premium volume and a lower ceding commission rate. The aforementioned reductions were partially offset by higher premiums earned on the retained volume of $0.8 million for the three-month period and $1.4 million for the six-month period.

Results of Discontinued Operations

The Company reported a net after-tax loss on discontinued operations of $1.7 million and $1.9 million for the three-months and six-months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $0.5 million for the same periods last year. The Company reported basic and fully diluted losses per common share on discontinued operations of $0.026 and $0.029 for the three-months and six-months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $0.007 in each of the same periods in 2010. The pre-tax loss on discontinued operations was $1.8 million and $2.1 million for the three-months and six-months period ended June 30, 2011 and $0.8 and $0.7 million for both periods in 2010, respectively.

The pre-tax loss on discontinued operations for the three-months and six-months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to 2010 pre-tax losses reflects a loss of $0.5 million on the sale of Georgia agencies and $0.8 million impairment charge on the remaining retail agencies that were classified as held for sale and discontinued operations. The pre-tax loss on discontinued operations also includes $0.5 million and $0.8 million of discontinued losses for the three-months and six-months ended June 30, 2011 and $0.8 million and $0.7 million compared to the same periods last year. The Company sold its TrustWay Georgia agencies and is committed to sell the remaining agencies, which will enable the Company to focus on its core operations. See Note 7 within the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. We reported the businesses described above as discontinued operations and the Company made a reclassification for all periods in order to comply with the required disclosures.

Revenues

Premiums

Gross premiums written for the three-months and six-months ended June 30, 2011 were $19.2 million and $49.4 million compared to $21.7 million and $54.0 million in gross premiums written for the same period in 2010. The reduction in gross premiums reflects actions taken by the Company during 2010 and 2011 to improve profitability in underperforming market segments. During the 2011 quarter and year-to-date periods, the Florida gross premiums written declined by $0.8 million and $4.1 million, the result of rate increases, implementation of tighter underwriting guidelines and the Company ceased writing new business with agencies in high fraud areas in Florida. In the states of Georgia and Louisiana, rate increases coupled with a challenging competitive environment, reduced premium volume year-over-year. The combined impact to the three-months and six-months was $2.2 million and $4.0 million, respectively. Partially offsetting these reductions was an increase of $0.5 million during the quarter and $2.1 million for the year in gross premiums written from the state of Virginia, which the Company entered in early 2010. The Company also increased its market penetration in the states of Alabama and Texas generating combined growth of $1.4 million.

The Company ceded approximately 71% or $13.5 million of its direct premiums written to its reinsurers during the second quarter of 2011 as compared to 67% or $14.6 million in 2010. The Company ceded approximately 62% or $30.6 million of its direct premiums written to its reinsurers during the year of 2011 as compared to 68% or $36.6 million in 2010.

Policies in-force as of June 30, 2011 increased slightly, or .4%, when compared to the same date in 2010 despite the 9% decline in premium volume. This is due to a reduction in 12 month policies and the mix of volume by state, as the average premium per policy varies by state.

Premiums written refers to the total amount of premiums billed to the policyholder less the amount of premiums returned, generally as a result of cancellations, during a given period. Premiums written become premiums earned as the policy ages. Barring premium rate changes, if an insurance company writes the same mix of business each year, premiums written and premiums earned will be equal and the unearned premium reserve will remain constant. During periods of growth, the unearned premium reserve will increase, causing premiums earned to be less than premiums written. Conversely, during periods of decline, the unearned premium reserve will decrease, causing premiums earned to be greater than premiums written. The Company’s net premiums earned, after deducting reinsurance, was $9.3 million for the three-months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $8.4 million for the same period a year ago and $18.3 million and $16.9 million for the six-months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Commission and Fee Income

In our MGA operations, we receive managing general agent fees for agency, underwriting, policy administration, and claims adjusting services performed on behalf of insurers. Commission income for the three-months and six-months ended June 30, 2011, was $2.8 million and $6.4 million compared to $3.1 million and $7.7 million for the same periods ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in commissions for the three-months and six-months ended June 30, 2011 is primarily driven by a lower ceding commission rate. Also AAIC pays the MGA commission on premium, which AAIC retains and this amount is subsequently eliminated upon consolidation.

Managing general agent fees for the three-months and six-months ended June 30, 2011 were essentially flat when compared to the same period of 2010.

Net Investment Income and Investment Gains (losses)

Our investment portfolio is generally highly liquid and consists substantially of readily marketable, investment-grade debt and equity securities. Net investment income is primarily comprised of interest and dividends earned on these securities and related investment expenses. Net investment income and gains were $62 thousand and $162 thousand for the three-months and six-months ended June 30, 2011 and $188 thousand and $331 thousand for the same periods last year. The lower investment performance was mainly due to interest income received on the trust preferred debt in the prior year, which was extinguished in December of 2010, partially offset by a slight increase in realized gains on the equity securities portfolio as investment market conditions continued to improve during the year.

Expenses

Insurance Loss and Loss Adjustment Expenses

Insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses include payments made to settle claims, estimates for future claim payments and changes in those estimates for current and prior periods, as well as loss adjustment expenses incurred in connection with settling claims. Insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses are influenced by many factors, such as claims frequency and severity trends, the impact of changes in estimates for prior accident years, and increases in the cost of medical treatment and automobile repairs. The anticipated impact of inflation is considered when we establish our premium rates and set loss reserves. Our actuaries perform a rolling accident year actuarial analysis each quarter and establish or adjust (for prior accident quarters) reserves, based upon their estimate of the ultimate incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses to reflect loss development information and trends that have been updated for the most recent quarter’s activity. Each quarter their estimate of ultimate loss and loss adjustment expenses is evaluated by accident quarter, by major coverage group (e.g., bodily injury, physical damage) and changes in estimates are reflected in the period the additional information becomes known.

We have historically used reinsurance to manage our exposure to loss by ceding a portion of our gross losses and loss adjustment expenses to reinsurers. We remain obligated for amounts covered by reinsurance in the event that the reinsurers do not meet their obligations under the agreements due to, for example, disputes with the reinsurer or the reinsurer’s insolvency.

Effective April 1, 2011, the Company entered into a new quota share agreement with Greenlight Reinsurance Ltd. for the 2011 treaty year business. The Company has agreed to cede 50% of the bodily injury liability, physical damage and other automobile liability coverages. The reinsurance contract will cover the state of Florida. The losses incurred are ceded on a similar basis.

As a result of the reinsurance agreements, the Company is currently ceding approximately 67% of its direct loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred to its reinsurers and the amount ceded for the six-months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $35.5 million and $30.3 million, respectively.

After making deductions for the effect of reinsurance, losses and loss adjustment expenses were $10.2 million and $17.2 million for the three-months and six-months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $5.9 million and $11.8 million for the same period in 2010. As a percentage of earned premiums, the loss ratio for the three-months and six-months ended June 30, 2011 was 110.2% and 93.8% and 69.7% and 70.2%, for the same periods in 2010. The amount represents actual payments made and changes in estimated future payments to be made to or on behalf of AAIC’s policyholders, including the expenses associated with settling claims. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by development on claims from prior accident years. The impact to loss and loss adjustment expense for the three-month periods is $2.9 million or 30.7 loss ratio points and the six-month period impact is $4.1 million or 22.2 loss ratio points, respectively. The development was on the personal injury protection (PIP) coverage related to policies written in Florida Market and the bodily injury coverage.

Operating Expenses

The selling, general and administrative expenses were $7.6 million and $15.8 million for the three-months and six-months ended in June 30, 2011 and $7.5 million and $16.1 million, when compared to the same period of 2010. The operating expenses were essentially flat for the quarter. The decrease in expenses for the six-months relates to lower selling expenses of $0.9 million, offset by an increase in personnel costs of $0.6 million in the wholesale division. The expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased to 51.4% for the three-months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 52.4% for the same period of 2010. The year over year percentage decreased to 51.7% from 52.6% for the six-months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease for the six-months ended June 30, 2011 is mainly driven by the aforementioned expense items. Depreciation and amortization expenses were flat. Interest expense was lower during the quarter by $85 thousand and $177 thousand in 2011 as compared to the same periods in the prior year, resulting from the 2010 interest expense on related party notes payable and interest expense on the trust preferred, which was extinguished in late 2010.

Income Tax (Benefit) Expense

The income tax expense for the three-months and six months ended June 30, 2011 from the continuing and discontinued operations was $1.3 million benefit for both periods compared to $2 thousand tax benefit and $0.6 million tax expense for the same periods last year. The increase in the tax benefit during the quarter and the year primarily relates to the losses on continuing operations.

Financial Condition

As of June 30, 2011, the Company had investments and cash of $13.7 million, compared to $21.5 million as of December 31, 2010. The Company’s investment strategy is to be invested in highly liquid short-term investments and equity securities as well as investing in bonds with short durations in order to meet its insurance obligations. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had $2.0 million in cash and short-term investments, which included $0.5 million of cash restricted to provide security for certain reinsurance reserve obligations. The equity security portfolio amounted to $2.3 million and is diversified amongst various industries. The Company’s long term investments of $8.7 million are spread among direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury as well as those securities unconditionally guaranteed as to the payment of principal and interest by the United States government or any agency thereof and in corporate bonds. The other long term investments of $0.7 million represent low income housing tax credits, which will be used to offset the Company’s tax liability.

The Company’s investment activities are made in accordance with the Company’s investment policy. The objectives of the investment policy are to obtain favorable after-tax returns on investments through a diversified portfolio of fixed income and equity. The Company’s investment criteria and practices reflect the short-term duration of its contractual obligations with policyholders and regulators. Tax considerations include federal and state income tax as well as premium tax abatement and credit opportunities offered to insurance companies in the states where AAIC writes policies.

Receivable from insureds as of June 30, 2011, decreased $1.4 million to $31.7 million compared to $33.1 million as of December 31, 2010. The balance represents amounts due from AAIC’s insured’s and the decrease is directly attributable to the decline in the AAIC’s premium writings during the first six-months of 2011. The Company’s policy is to write off receivable balances immediately upon cancellation or expiration, and the Company does not consider an allowance for doubtful accounts to be necessary.

Reinsurance recoverables as of June 30, 2011, increased $12.4 million, to $46.4 million compared to $34.0 million as of December 31, 2010. The increase is directly related to an increase in ceded paid losses and the timing of settlements with the reinsurers for AAIC. AAIC maintains a quota-share reinsurance treaty with its reinsurers in which it ceded approximately 62% of premiums and 67% of losses through the six-months of 2011. The $46.4 million represents the reinsurers’ portion of losses and loss adjustment expense, both paid and unpaid.

Prepaid reinsurance premiums as of June 30, 2011, decreased $2.4 million to $21.2 million compared to $23.6 million as of December 31, 2010. The decrease results from AAIC’s decline in premium during the six months of 2011 and represents premiums ceded to its reinsurers which have not been fully earned.

Property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation increased by $104 thousand to $1.9 million as of June 30, 2011, compared to the balance at December 31, 2010. Prepaid expenses as of June 30, 2011, decreased $153 thousand to $389 thousand as of June 30, 2011, compared to $542 thousand as of December 31, 2010. The decrease in prepaid was mainly due to a decline in prepaid rent and general and administrative expenses.

Other receivables as of June 30, 2011 increased $0.7 million to $1.1 million when compared to December 31, 2010. The increase relates to $0.5 million issuance of a notes receivable to the purchaser of the TrustWay agencies and $0.2 million increase for balances due to MGA from insurance carriers and agents for amounts owed in accordance with the terms of its managing general agency agreements.

Assets of businesses held for sale and discontinued operations decreased $3.4 million to $4.9 million as of June 30, 2011 from the balance of $8.3 million as of December 31, 2010. This decrease is mainly related to the write down of the intangibles and assets held for sale and disposed of during the quarter. See note 11 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Prepaid income taxes remained flat at $0.2 million as of June 30, 2011, when compared to the balance at December 31, 2010. Deferred tax assets increased $1.2 million as of June 30, 2011 compared to the balance as of December 31, 2010. This increase was mainly due to operating loss carryforwards on the losses from continuing operations.

Accounts payable and accrued expenses as of June 30, 2011, decreased $0.7 million from December 31, 2010 to $6.1 million from $6.8 million. The decrease is primarily due to $0.7 million in lower general and administrative expense accruals and lower accrued expenses for personnel salary costs.

Unearned premium as of June 30, 2011 decreased $2.0 million to $32.2 million as of June 30, 2011 from $34.2 million as of December 31, 2010, and represents premiums written but not earned. This is directly attributable to a decrease in AAIC’s premium writings during the first six-months of 2011.

Unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses increased $9.4 million to $42.7 million as of June 30, 2011 from $33.3 million at December 31, 2010. This amount represents management’s estimates of future amounts needed to pay claims and related expenses. The increase is primarily related to reserve strengthening and increased loss frequency.

Reinsurance payable as of June 30, 2011 decreased $0.9 million to $28.5 million, compared to $29.4 million as of December 31, 2010. The amount represents premiums owed to the Company’s reinsurers. AAIC maintains nine quota-share reinsurance treaties with its reinsurers and is currently ceding approximately 62% of premiums for all of its states for 2011. The decrease is mainly due to the decrease in premiums during the year and the timing of settlements with reinsurers.

Provisional commission reserves represent the difference between our minimum ceding commission and the provisional amount paid by the reinsurers. These balances as of June 30, 2011 decreased $1.2 million to $2.1 million, compared to the balance at December 31, 2010 of $3.3 million. The decrease is related to the provisional payments made on prior treaty years during the second quarter of 2011.

Notes and interest payable as of June 30, 2011 remained at $0.2 million as compared to December 31, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash used by operating activities for the six-months ended June 30, 2011, was $8.2 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $2.0 million for the same period of 2010. The decrease in operating cash was primarily driven by lower premium volume and lower ceded claims for approximately $1.4 million, timing on settlement of ceding commission of $3.7 million, return of $1.3 million held as restricted on behalf of the reinsurer and payment of provisional commissions of $1.8 million.

Investing activities provided cash for the six-months ended June 30, 2011 of $1.7 million as compared to $330 thousand used as of June 30, 2010. The increase relates to $1.3 million transfer of cash for restricted funds held for reinsurers and $0.8 million related to the sale of the TrustWay insurance agencies, offset by $0.4 million of purchases of property and equipment related to the wholesale division.

Financing activities for the six-months ended June 30, 2011, provided cash of $67 thousand compared to $430 thousand of cash used in 2010. The year-over-year increase relates to $500 thousand of related party debt repaid in the previous year.

On June 30, 2010, the Company entered into a First Amendment Agreement (the “First Amendment”) to the Loan Agreement between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (as successor in interest by merger to Wachovia Bank, N.A.) (the “Lender”). The First Amendment amends the Loan Agreement, dated July 17, 2009, between the Company and the Lender (the “Loan Agreement”).

The First Amendment extends the maturity date for the facility to July 16, 2011. However, the lender extended the agreement through September 30, 2011. The proceeds of the facility may be used for funding certain permitted acquisitions, funding short-term loans to the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, AAIC, or for working capital or general corporate needs in the ordinary course of business. When the facility matures, the Company will still be able to meet its obligations if the line of credit is not renewed. The credit facility is secured by a pledge of the Company’s ownership interests in two of the Company’s subsidiaries, TrustWay and MGA, and is guaranteed by the same entities. In addition, TrustWay pledged its ownership interest in TrustWay T.E.A.M., Inc., which is also a guarantor.

The Loan Agreement includes customary covenants, including financial covenants regarding minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and minimum net worth. As of June 30, 2011, the Company received a waiver for the fixed charge covenant, but was in compliance with all the other covenants. The First Amendment provides that the facility shall be repaid in full and no loans under the facility may be outstanding for at least one period of 30 consecutive days during each 12-month period in which the Loan Agreement is in effect. In addition, the Company’s minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, which was 1.35 under the Loan Agreement, decreases to 1.10 for each of the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2010, and September 30, 2010 and increases to 1.25 for each subsequent fiscal quarter. The interest rate is 3.00% plus 90-day LIBOR (3.246% June 30, 2011) due and payable monthly. As of June 30, 2011, there is $1.5 million in borrowings outstanding under the credit agreement. In addition to the Company’s line of credit, the liquidity and capital needs will be met through premiums, commissions and fee income.

To support Company growth, the Company maintains a highly liquid investment portfolio and closely manages capital requirements. AAIC is required by the state of South Carolina to maintain minimum Statutory Capital and Surplus of $3.0 million. As of June 30, 2011, AAIC’s statutory Capital and Surplus was $10.2 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does have off balance sheet leasing arrangements. For further information, please refer to Note 11 in the financial statements.

Loss and LAE Reserves

The Company is required to make certain estimates and assumptions when preparing its financial statements and accompanying notes in accordance with GAAP. One area which requires estimations and assumptions is the establishment of loss and LAE reserves. Loss and LAE reserves are established to reflect the estimated costs of paying claims and claims expenses under insurance policies we have issued. These reserves are an approximation of amounts necessary to settle all outstanding claims, including claims of which we are aware and claims that have been incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) as of the financial statement date.

At June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, we had $13.5 million and $9.9 million of net loss and LAE reserves, respectively, which included $5.8 million and $5.2 million of case reserves and $7.7 million and $4.7 million of IBNR reserves. During 2011, the Company’s case reserves increased $0.6 million and IBNR reserves increased $3.0 million. This increase in reserves is related to reserve strengthening and adjustments to the actuarial estimate for prior accident years related to the bodily injury and personal injury protection coverages.

GROSS RESERVES BY LINE OF BUSINESS

The following table presents the gross reserves by line of business as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:


	2011		2010
Personal Auto Liability	$	40,908,665	$	31,638,391
Personal Auto Physical Damage		1,790,090		1,672,676

Total Gross Reserves-Unpaid Losses and LAE	$	42,698,755	$	33,311,067

The increase in gross reserves was $9.4 million representing an increase in the auto physical damage coverage of $0.1 million and $9.3 million in bodily injury and personal injury protection coverages.

Variability of Reserves for Loss and LAE

Management believes that there are no reasonably likely changes in the key factors and assumptions that materially affect the Company’s estimate of the reserve for loss and LAE that would materially impact the Company’s financial position, liquidity and results of operations. The Company’s low average policy limit and concentration on the nonstandard auto driver classification help stabilize fluctuations in frequency and severity, thereby limiting the potential variability the reserve level may have on reported results. For example, approximately 96% of policies included within the nonstandard book of business include only the state-mandated minimum policy limits for bodily injury and property damage, which mitigates the complexity of estimating average severity. These low limits tend to reduce the exposure of the loss reserves on this coverage to medical cost inflation on severe injuries since the minimum policy limits will limit the total payout.

The following table provides the estimated changes in the liability and related payments made for the six-months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010:


	2011			2010
Change in net loss and LAE reserves	$	3,600,592		$	(2,979,132	)
Paid losses and LAE		13,585,939			14,814,875

Total incurred losses and LAE	$	17,186,531		$	11,835,743

Loss and LAE ratio(1)		93.8	%		70.2	%

(1)	The ratio was calculated by taking losses and LAE divided by the Net Premiums Earned.

Losses and Loss Adjusment Expenses (LAE)

The Company’s claims costs represent payments made and estimated future payments to be made to or on behalf of our policyholders, including expenses needed to adjust or settle claims. These costs relate to current costs under our non-standard state-mandated automobile insurance programs. Claims costs are impacted by loss severity and frequency and are influenced by inflation and driving patterns, among other factors. Accordingly, anticipated changes in these factors are taken into account when we establish premium rates and loss reserves.

During the six-months ended June 30, 2011, our loss and LAE ratio increased 23.6%, as compared to .2% increase in the same period a year ago, which reflects reserve strengthening for prior year loss development. We continuously monitor internal and industry-wide severity trends and adjust rates as appropriate to compensate for the higher loss costs.

The table below presents the development experienced in the following periods:


	2011			2010
Prior year incurred losses	$	4,068,010		$	291,005
Current year incurred losses and LAE		13,118,521			11,544,738

Total incurred losses and LAE	$	17,186,531		$	11,835,743

Increase to the calendar year loss and LAE ratio		23.6	%		0.2	%

Ceded Reinsurance

The Company cedes a significant portion of its personal automobile premium to other reinsurers. The Company’s reinsurance strategy is to use quota share reinsurance to mitigate the financial impact of losses on its operations, while enabling premium growth within its capital base. Historically, the Company’s reinsurance contracts have been one or two years in duration, subject to renewal.

Effective May 15, 2011, the Company entered into a new catastrophe agreement with Shelter Mutual Insurance Company. The Reinsurer shall be liable private passenger automobile physical damage coverage with respect to each loss occurrence, for the ultimate net loss over and above an initial ultimate net loss of $400,000 each loss occurrence, subject to a limit of liability to the reinsurer of $1,600,000 each loss occurrence, and further subject to a limit of liability to the reinsurer of $3,200,000 with respects all loss occurrences commencing during the term of this contract.

Effective April 1, 2011, the Company entered into a new quota share agreement with Greenlight Reinsurance Ltd. for the 2011 treaty year business. The Company has agreed to cede 50% of the bodily injury liability, physical damage and other automobile liability coverages. The reinsurance contract will cover the state of Florida. The losses incurred are ceded on a similar basis.

The agreement includes a loss corridor of 75.0%-79.0%, whereby the Company shall retain the amount by which losses and LAE incurred exceed 75% of collected net premiums earned, subject to a maximum additional retention equal to 4% of collected net premiums earned. The reinsurance contract will cover all states except Florida. Further, the Company shall retain the amount by which losses and LAE incurred, after the application of the loss corridor, exceeds 120% of collected net premiums earned Loss Ratio Cap.

The Company will receive a 21% ceding commission on ceded premiums earned if the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio is 73.5% or greater. If the loss ratio is 73.5%, but not less than 71.5% then the ceding commission shall be 21.0%, plus the difference in percentage points between 73.5% and the actual loss ratio. If the loss ratio is 71.5% or less then the ceding commission rate will be 23.0%.

Reinsurance contracts do not relieve the Company from its obligations to policyholders. The Company periodically reviews the financial condition of its reinsurers to minimize its exposure to losses from reinsurer insolvencies. The Company has nine reinsurers, of which eight are A- rated or better based on the most recent A.M. Best ratings available. While the ninth reinsurer does not have a rating, the contract is in run-off. Further, the reinsurers cover up to $2,000,000 in aggregate claims for extra contractual obligations each policy year.

The impact of reinsurance on the income statement as of June 30 is as follows:


	2011		2010
Premiums ceded written	$	30,610,383	$	36,620,776
Ceded commissions incurred	$	6,295,661	$	8,251,452
Ceded losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred	$	35,542,035	$	30,341,054

The impact of reinsurance on the balance sheets as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 is as follows:


	2011		2010
Reinsurance recoverable	$	46,437,218	$	34,013,415
Ceded unpaid losses and loss adjustment expense	$	29,197,542	$	23,410,446
Ceded prepaid premiums	$	21,177,158	$	23,643,822
Reinsurance payable	$	28,518,279	$	29,426,944

Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with the claim liability associated with the reinsured policies. The Company reports as assets (a) the estimated reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses, including an estimate for losses incurred but not reported, and (b) amounts paid to reinsurers applicable to the policies-in-force. During 2011, the Company ceded approximately 62% of its premium and 67% of losses during the first six months of June 30, 2011 as compared to approximately 68% of its premium and 72% of losses were ceded to reinsurers for the prior year. The ceded premium and losses reflect the new contract terms entered into during 2011 as previously mentioned. The ceded premium under these reinsurance agreements for the six-months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $30.6 million and $36.6 million, respectively. The related ceding commission was approximately $6.3 million in 2011 and $8.3 million in 2010. The lower ceded premium and commission were mainly due to lower production and the reduced ceded premium related to the state of Florida, which is ceded at 50% effective April 1, 2011.

Ceded reinsurance for all programs reduced the Company’s incurred losses and LAE for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 by $35.5 million and $30.3 million, respectively.

Reinsurance assets include balances due from other contracted reinsurers under the terms of reinsurance agreements. Amounts applicable to ceded unearned premiums ceded loss payments and ceded claims liabilities are reported as assets in the accompanying balance sheets. Under the reinsurance agreements, the Company has four reinsurers that are required to collateralize the reinsurance recoverables. As of June 30, 2011, all reinsurers have provided a letter of credit or a secured trust account to provide security sufficient to satisfy the Company’s obligations under the reinsurance agreement. The Company believes the fair value of its reinsurance recoverables approximates their carrying amounts.

The Company’s reinsurance recoverable balances amounted to $46.4 million and $34.0 million as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The recoverable includes ceded unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses of $29.2 million and $23.4 million of the same periods, respectively. The ceded reserves from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with the claim liability associated with the reinsured policies ceded. Reinsurance recoverable assets include paid loss balances due from other reinsurers under the terms of reinsurance agreements in the amount of $17.2 million and $10.6 million as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The paid loss recoverables are in good standing as of June 30, 2011.

The Company’s ceded prepaid premium relates to policies in force and is earned ratably over the policy period. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the ceded prepaid premiums amounted to $21.2 million and $23.6 million, respectively. Reinsurance payable of $28.5 million and $29.4 million as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, and represents the amounts due to reinsurers for ceded premiums net of commissions. The Company pays its reinsurers on a collected premium basis. Effective for the 2011 treaty year, the Company will receive ceding commissions on a ceded earned basis, whereas for prior treaty years ceding commissions were based on ceded written premiums. The Company does not have any balances that are in dispute through June 30, 2011.

The Company’s quota share reinsurance facility has a significant impact on its cash flows. Since the Company cedes a significant amount of its premium and losses, the Company relies heavily on its reinsurers to settle outstanding reinsurance balances due for loss payments net of premiums collected. The Company paid ceded premiums net of commissions of $25.1 million for both the six-months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively and received reinsurance recoverables on paid loss and loss adjustment expenses of $23.1 million and $38.5 million during the same periods.

The Company’s reinsurance strategies have not changed from previous years and the Company’s limited loss exposure is based on the existing quota share agreement. While the Company monitors conditions within the reinsurance market, adverse conditions could have an impact on the Company’s ability to secure reinsurance capacity, thereby limiting its ability to cede future losses.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures in accordance with Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and are effective to ensure that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

Management’s Annual Report on Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2011. In making this assessment, management used the criteria described in “Internal Control — Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies and procedures may deteriorate. Based on this evaluation, management determined that, as of June 30, 2011, we maintained effective internal control over financial reporting, and there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting made during our most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
