These forward-looking statements include statements about anticipated growth in revenues, gross written premium, earnings per share, estimated unpaid losses on insurance policies, investment returns, and diversification and expectations about our liquidity, our ability to meet our investment objectives and to manage and mitigate market risk with respect to our investments.

These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the industry and market in which we operate, and management's beliefs and assumptions. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. The risks and uncertainties include, without limitation:

| |
• | our ability to implement and maintain adequate internal controls over financial reporting; |

| |
• | our ability to collect from our reinsurers on our reinsurance claims; |
| |
• | dependence on investment income and the composition of our investment portfolio and related market risks; |
| |
• | the possibility of the pricing and terms for our products to decline due to the historically cyclical nature of the property and casualty insurance and reinsurance industry; |
| |
• | the outcome of litigation pending against us, including the terms of any settlements; |
| |
• | downgrades in our financial strength ratings; |
| |
• | the impact of future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock by us to our existing stockholders on our stock price; |
| |
• | our ability to pay dividends in the future; |
| |
• | the ability of R. Daniel Peed and his affiliates to exert significant control over us due to substantial ownership of our common stock, subject to certain restrictive covenants that may restrict our ability to pursue certain opportunities; |
| |
• | the ability of others to obtain control of us due to provisions in our charter documents; and |
| |
• | other risks and uncertainties described in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. |

UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2018
1) ORGANIZATION, CONSOLIDATION AND PRESENTATION
(a)Business
United Insurance Holdings Corp. (referred to in this document as we, our, us, the Company or UPC Insurance) is a property and casualty insurance holding company that sources, writes and services residential and commercial property and casualty insurance policies using a network of agents and four wholly-owned insurance subsidiaries. Our largest insurance subsidiary is United Property & Casualty Insurance Company (UPC), which was formed in Florida in 1999 and has operated continuously since that time. Our three other insurance subsidiaries are Family Security Insurance Company, Inc. (FSIC), acquired via merger on February 3, 2015, Interboro Insurance Company (IIC), acquired via merger on April 29, 2016, and American Coastal Insurance Company (ACIC), acquired via merger on April 3, 2017. See Note 4 in these Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding acquisitions.
Our other subsidiaries include United Insurance Management L.C. (UIM), a managing general agent that manages
substantially all aspects of UPC, FSIC and IIC's business; Skyway Claims Services, LLC, which provides claims adjusting services to UPC, FSIC and IIC; AmCo Holding Company (AmCo) and Family Security Holdings (FSH), which are holding company subsidiaries that consolidate their respective insurance companies; BlueLine Cayman Holdings (BlueLine) which reinsures portfolios of excess and surplus policies; UPC Re which can provide a portion of the reinsurance protection purchased by our insurance subsidiaries when needed; and Skyway Reinsurance Services which provides reinsurance brokerage services for our insurance companies.
Our primary product is homeowners' insurance, which we currently offer in 12 states, under authorization from the insurance regulatory authorities in each state. In addition, we write commercial residential insurance in the state of Florida. We are also licensed to write property and casualty insurance in an additional six states; however, we have not commenced writing in these states.
We conduct our operations under one business segment.
(b)Consolidation and Presentation
We prepare our unaudited consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP. In management's opinion, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring items, considered necessary for a fair presentation of interim periods. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Our unaudited consolidated interim financial statements and footnotes should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and footnotes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
While preparing our unaudited consolidated financial statements, we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited consolidated financial statements, as well as reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Reported amounts that require us to make extensive use of estimates include our reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses, investments and goodwill. Except for the captions on our Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets and Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, we generally use the term loss(es) to collectively refer to both loss and loss adjustment expenses.
We reclassified certain amounts in the 2017 financial statements to conform to the 2018 presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on our results of operations or stockholders' equity, as previously reported.
Our results of operations and our cash flows as of the end of the interim periods reported herein do not necessarily indicate our results for the remainder of the year or for any other future period.
2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Changes to significant accounting policies
UNITED INSURANCE HOLDINGS CORP.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2018
We have made no changes to our significant accounting policies as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, except as noted below.
(b) Income Taxes
As of June 30, 2018, we had not fully completed our accounting for the tax effects of the enactment of the legislation commonly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 with regard to the deductibility of compensation expense for certain covered executives due to uncertainty surrounding the appropriate tax treatment of outstanding performance-based awards and uncertainty surrounding the discount factors to be applied for loss reserve discounting as during this period, the U.S. Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service have not issued further clarification or guidance for the items for which our accounting for the Tax Act is incomplete. Interpretive guidance of the Tax Act will be received throughout 2018, and we expect to update our estimates and our disclosure on a quarterly basis as interpretive guidance is received within each quarter that it is received.
(c) Fair value assumptions
The carrying amounts for the following financial instrument categories approximate their fair values at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, because of their short-term nature: cash and cash equivalents, accrued investment income, premiums receivable, reinsurance recoverable, reinsurance payable, other assets, and other liabilities. The carrying amount of the notes payable to the Florida State Board of Administration, the Branch Banking & Trust Corporation (BB&T) and our senior notes approximate fair value as the interest rates and terms are variable.
(d) Reinsurance
We record provisional ceding commissions that we receive in connection with our reinsurance contracts for the 2018 underwriting year as an offset to deferred acquisition costs to the extent that they relate to compensation for acquisition costs that are incurred that are deferrable. The remaining provisional ceding commissions are recorded as unearned reinsurance commission and are recognized as an offset to other acquisition costs based in proportion to the premiums earned or coverage provided by the reinsurance contracts.
(e) Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting (ASU 2017-09). This standard provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. ASU 2017-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted for certain requirements. We did not early adopt and the new guidance did not impact the way in which we account for share-based payment transactions. Therefore, the adoption as of January 1, 2018 had no impact on our results of operations.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (ASU 2016-18). This standard provides guidance on the presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. We are required to explain the changes during a reporting period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. We retrospectively adopted this standard on April 1, 2018. The adoption of this new accounting standard impacted the presentation of our Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows but had no effect on our results of operations. The restricted cash on our consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 represents cash that is held in trust for assumed business and cash held in deposit accounts to satisfy state statutory deposit requirements.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (ASU 2016-01). This update substantially revises standards for the recognition, measurement and presentation of financial instruments. This standard revised our accounting related to (1) the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and (2) the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. It also amended certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted for certain requirements. We adopted this standard as of January 1, 2018, which resulted in a reclassification of a $9,338,000 gain, net of tax, on equity securities from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings on our

consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 14 in these Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for a reconciliation.
(f) Pending Accounting Pronouncements
We have evaluated recent accounting pronouncements that have had or may have a significant effect on our financial statements or on our disclosures.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (ASU 2017-04). This update simplifies the manner in which an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. ASU 2017-07 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted for certain requirements. We do not intend to early adopt and are assessing the impact of adopting this new accounting standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Any impact of the standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures will be dependent on market conditions of the reporting units at the time of adoption.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02). This update is intended to replace existing lease guidance by requiring a lessee to recognize substantially all leases (whether operating or finance leases) on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and an associated lease liability. Short-term leases of 12 months or less are excluded from this amendment. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We do not intend to early adopt and are assessing the impact of adopting this new accounting standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures using a retrospective approach upon adoption. We are currently quantifying the expected recognition on our balance sheet for a right to use asset and a lease liability as required by this standard.

Portfolio monitoring
We have a comprehensive portfolio monitoring process to identify and evaluate each fixed income security whose carrying value may be other-than-temporarily impaired.
For each fixed income security in an unrealized loss position, we determine if the loss is temporary or other-than-temporary. If our management decides to sell the security or determines that it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of the cost or amortized cost basis for reasons such as liquidity needs, contractual or regulatory requirements, then the security's decline in fair value is considered other-than-temporary and is recorded in earnings.
If we have not made the decision to sell the fixed income security and it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the fixed income security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, we evaluate whether we expect the security to receive cash flows sufficient to recover the entire cost or amortized cost basis of the security. We calculate the estimated recovery value by discounting the best estimate of future cash flows at the security's original or current effective rate, as appropriate, and compare this to the cost or amortized cost of the security. If we do not expect to receive cash flows sufficient to recover the entire cost or amortized cost basis of the fixed income security, the credit loss component of the impairment is recorded in earnings, with the remaining amount of the unrealized loss related to other factors recognized in other comprehensive income.
Our portfolio monitoring process includes a quarterly review of all fixed-income securities to identify instances where the fair value of a security compared to its cost or amortized cost is below established thresholds. The process also includes the monitoring of other impairment indicators such as ratings, ratings downgrades and payment defaults. The securities identified, in addition to other securities for which we may have a concern, are evaluated for potential other-than-temporary impairment using information relevant to the collectability or recovery of the security that is reasonably available. Inherent in our evaluation of other-than-temporary impairment for these fixed income securities are assumptions and estimates about the financial condition and future earnings potential of the issue or issuer. Some of the factors that may be considered in evaluating whether a decline in fair value is other-than-temporary are: (1) the financial condition, near-term and long-term prospects of the issue or issuer, including relevant industry specific market conditions and trends, geographic location and implications of rating agency actions and offering prices; (2) the specific reasons that a security is in an unrealized loss position, including overall market conditions which could affect liquidity; and (3) the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than amortized cost or cost.

(1) This amount represents the actual number of discrete securities, not the number of shares or units of those securities. The numbers are not presented in thousands.
During our quarterly evaluations of our securities for impairment, we determined that none of our investments in fixed-income securities that reflected an unrealized loss position were other-than-temporarily impaired. The issuers of our debt securities continue to make interest payments on a timely basis. We do not intend to sell nor is it likely that we would be required to sell the debt securities before we recover our amortized cost basis. Due to the adoption of ASU 2016-01 as of January 1, 2018, equity securities are reported at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in valuation of equity investments and are no longer included in impairment write-downs, change in intent write-downs and sales.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we recorded no other-than-temporary impairment charges.

Fair value measurement
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The hierarchy for inputs used in determining fair value maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that observable inputs be used when available. Assets and liabilities recorded on our Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value are categorized in the fair value hierarchy based on the observability of inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1: Assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that we can access.
Level 2: Assets and liabilities whose values are based on the following:
(a) Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
(b) Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or
(c) Valuation models whose inputs are observable, directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3: Assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Unobservable inputs reflect our estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use in valuing the assets and liabilities.
We estimate the fair value of our investments using the closing prices on the last business day of the reporting period, obtained from active markets such as the NYSE, Nasdaq and NYSE MKT. For securities for which quoted prices in active markets are unavailable, we use a third-party pricing service that utilizes quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments, benchmark interest rates, broker quotes and other relevant inputs to estimate the fair value of those securities for which quoted prices are unavailable. Our estimates of fair value reflect the interest rate environment that existed as of the close of business on June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. Changes in interest rates subsequent to June 30, 2018 may affect the fair value of our investments.
The fair value of our fixed maturities is initially calculated by a third-party pricing service. Valuation service providers typically obtain data about market transactions and other key valuation model inputs from multiple sources and, through the use of proprietary models, produce valuation information in the form of a single fair value for individual fixed income and other securities for which a fair value has been requested. The inputs used by the valuation service providers include, but are not limited to, market prices from recently completed transactions and transactions of comparable securities, interest rate yield curves, credit spreads, liquidity spreads, currency rates and other information, as applicable. Credit and liquidity spreads are typically implied from completed transactions and transactions of comparable securities. Valuation service providers also use proprietary discounted cash flow models that are widely accepted in the financial services industry and similar to those used by other market participants to value the same financial information. The valuation models take into account, among other things, market observable information as of the measurement date, as described above, as well as the specific attributes of the security being valued, including its term, interest rate, credit rating, industry sector and, where applicable, collateral quality and other issue or issuer specific information. Executing valuation models effectively requires seasoned professional judgment and experience.
For our Level 3 assets, our internal pricing methods are primarily based on models using discounted cash flow methodologies that determine a single best estimate of fair value for individual financial instruments. In addition, our models use a discount rate and internally assigned credit ratings as inputs (which are generally consistent with any external ratings) and those we use to report our holdings by credit rating. Market related inputs used in these fair values, which we believe are representative of inputs other market participants would use to determine fair value of the same instruments include: interest rate yield curves, quoted market prices of comparable securities, credit spreads and other applicable market data. As a result of the significance of non-market observable inputs, including internally assigned credit ratings as described above, judgment is required in developing these fair values. The fair value of these financial assets may differ from the amount actually received if we were to sell the asset. Moreover, the use of different valuation assumptions may have a material effect on the fair values of the financial assets.
Any change in the estimated fair value of our fixed-income securities would impact the amount of unrealized gain or loss we have recorded, which could change the amount we have recorded for our investments and other comprehensive income on our Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2018.

We are responsible for the determination of fair value and the supporting assumptions and methodologies. We have implemented a system of processes and controls designed to provide assurance that our assets and liabilities are appropriately valued. For fair values received from third parties, our processes are designed to provide assurance that the valuation methodologies and inputs are appropriate and consistently applied, the assumptions are reasonable and consistent with the objective of determining fair value, and the fair values are accurately recorded.
At the end of each quarter, we determine whether we need to transfer the fair values of any securities between levels of the fair value hierarchy and, if so, we report the transfer as of the end of the quarter. During the quarter ended June 30, 2018, we did not transfer any investments between levels. We used unobservable inputs to derive our estimated fair value for Level 3 investments, and the unobservable inputs are significant to the overall fair value measurement.
For our investments in U.S. government securities that do not have prices in active markets, agency securities, state and municipal governments, and corporate bonds, we obtain the fair values from our investment custodians, which use a third-party valuation service. The valuation service calculates prices for our investments in the aforementioned security types on a month-end basis by using several matrix-pricing methodologies that incorporate inputs from various sources. The model the valuation service uses to price U.S. government securities and securities of states and municipalities incorporates inputs from active market makers and inter-dealer brokers. To price corporate bonds and agency securities, the valuation service calculates non-call yield spreads on all issuers, uses option-adjusted yield spreads to account for any early redemption features, and adds final spreads to the U.S. Treasury curve at 3 p.m. (ET) as of quarter end. Since the inputs the valuation service uses in its calculations are not quoted prices in active markets, but are observable inputs, they represent Level 2 inputs.

Other investments
We acquired investments in limited partnerships, recorded in the other investments line of our Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets and these investments are currently being accounted for at fair value utilizing a discounted cash flow methodology. The estimated fair value of our investments in the limited partnership interests at June 30, 2018 was $7,942,000. We have fully funded two investments and are still obligated to fund an additional $3,170,000 for the remaining four investments.

Portfolio loans
At December 31, 2017, we held commercial portfolio loans of $20,000,000. We believe that making sound loans is a necessary and desirable means of employing funds available for investment. Recognizing our obligation to our stockholders, management is expected to seek to develop and make sound, profitable loans that resources permit and that opportunity affords. These were short-term collateralized loans (less than one year), which were repaid in full in April 2018, primarily from cash flows of the borrowers.
We account for business acquisitions in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, that most assets acquired, liabilities assumed and earn-out consideration be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. Measurement period adjustments to provisional purchase price allocations are recognized in the period in which they are determined as if the accounting had been completed on the acquisition date.
On April 3, 2017, we completed our acquisition of AmCo and its subsidiaries. The transaction was completed through a series of mergers that ultimately resulted in the Company issuing 20,956,355 shares of its common stock as consideration to the equity holders of RDX Holding, LLC, the former parent company of AmCo. As a result of the mergers, AmCo merged with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The acquisition of AmCo supported our growth strategy and further strengthened our overall position in the commercial property and casualty insurance market. Goodwill recorded in the transaction, which reflected the synergies expected from the acquisition and enhanced reinsurance opportunities, is not tax deductible.
The operations of AmCo are included in our Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income effective April 3, 2017. The final purchase price allocation is as follows:

8) REINSURANCE
Our reinsurance program is designed, utilizing our risk management methodology, to address our exposure to catastrophes. According to the Insurance Service Office (ISO), a catastrophe loss is defined as a single unpredictable incident or series of closely related incidents that result in $25,000,000 or more in U.S. industry-wide direct insured losses to property and that affect a significant number of policyholders and insurers (ISO catastrophes). In addition to ISO catastrophes, we also include as catastrophes those events (non-ISO catastrophes), which may include losses, that we believe are, or will be, material to our operations, either in amount or in number of claims made.
Our program provides reinsurance protection for catastrophes including hurricanes, tropical storms and tornadoes. These reinsurance agreements are part of our catastrophe management strategy, which is intended to provide our stockholders an acceptable return on the risks assumed in our property business, and to reduce variability of earnings, while providing protection to our policyholders.
Effective June 1, 2018, UPC Insurance, through our wholly-owned insurance subsidiaries ACIC, UPC, FSIC, IIC and BlueLine, entered into reinsurance agreements with private reinsurers and with the Florida State Board of Administration, which administers the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund (FHCF). These agreements provide coverage for catastrophe losses from named or numbered windstorms and earthquakes in all states in which UPC Insurance operates except for the agreement with FHCF, which only provides coverage in Florida against storms that the National Hurricane Center designates as hurricanes.
Highlights of the coverage within these contracts include:
| |
• | Increased frequency and severity protection, with an overall program exhaustion point excess of $3,100,000,000; |
| |
◦ | Sufficient coverage for approximately a single 1-in-400 year event; |
| |
◦ | Sufficient coverage for a 1-in-100 year event followed by a 1-in-50 year event in the same season; |
| |
• | Lower per occurrence retention levels which include all BlueLine business; |
| |
◦ | First event retention of $60,000,000 in Florida and $25,000,000 outside of Florida which, as a percentage of the group equity, represents approximately 11% and 4.6%, respectively; |
| |
◦ | $25,000,000 for second event in all states; |
| |
• | Successful completion of Armor Re II CAT Bond providing $100,000,000 of limit on a multi-year basis; |
| |
• | Coverage from 41 reinsurers with 93% of the open market limit placed on a fully collateralized basis or with reinsurers having an A+ or better A.M. Best financial strength rating; and |
| |
• | Up to $262,500,000 of multi-year limit including the CAT Bond limit. |
For the FHCF reimbursement contracts effective June 1, 2018, UPC Insurance has elected a 45% coverage for all its insurance subsidiaries with Florida exposure. We estimate the total mandatory FHCF layer will provide approximately $907,000,000 of aggregate coverage with varying retentions and limits among the three FHCF contracts that all inure to the benefit of the open market coverage secured from private reinsurers.
The $2,185,000,000 of aggregate open market catastrophe reinsurance coverage is structured into multiple layers with a cascading feature that all layers drop down as layers below them are exhausted. Any remaining unused layer protection drops down for subsequent events until exhausted, ensuring there are no potential gaps in coverage up to the $3,100,000,000 program exhaustion point.
Effective January 1, 2018, UPC Insurance, through its wholly-owned insurance subsidiaries UPC, ACIC, IIC and FSIC, renewed the aggregate excess of loss agreement with a private reinsurer. The treaty provides coverage for all catastrophe perils other than hurricanes, tropical storms, tropical depressions and earthquakes. Under this agreement, we will retain, in the aggregate, 100% of those losses up to 4.75% of the covered companies’ gross earned premium. The reinsurer will then be liable for all losses in excess of 4.75% of the covered companies’ gross earned premium in the aggregate not to exceed $20,000,000 over the term of the treaty. Recoveries under this treaty will be calculated quarterly based on the cumulative gross earned premium. We ceded $20,000,000 of catastrophe losses to this treaty for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Reinsurance recoveries under this agreement may change in future periods as the cumulative subject gross earned premiums and eligible gross catastrophe losses incurred are recognized in subsequent calendar quarters during 2018 in accordance with the terms of the agreement. No allowance has been recorded against the $20,000,000 reinsurance recoverable at June 30, 2018 since future catastrophe losses are inherently unpredictable and cannot be reasonably estimated.
Effective December 31, 2017, UPC Insurance, through our wholly-owned insurance subsidiary UPC, replaced its quota share agreement with private reinsurers. The quota share agreement has a term of 12 months and a cession rate of 20% for all

subject business. The quota share agreement provides coverage for all catastrophe perils and attritional losses. For all catastrophe perils, the quota share agreement provides ground-up protection effectively reducing our retention for catastrophe losses. Quota share reinsurers’ participation in paying attritional losses is subject to an attritional loss ratio cap.
We amortize our prepaid reinsurance premiums over the annual agreement period, and we record that amortization in ceded premiums earned on our Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The table below summarizes the amounts of our ceded premiums written under the various types of agreements, as well as the amortization of prepaid reinsurance premiums:
