Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

 

Restatement of Prior Year Amounts

 

In conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2014, we restated the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013. These restatements resulted in money market mutual fund accounts held at financial institutions which were previously classified as short-term investments to be now classified as cash and cash equivalents. In addition, checks issued in excess of cash book balances, not yet presented for payment, which were previously classified as cash and cash equivalents are now classified as general and other accrued expenses payable.

Cash and cash equivalents, end of period  $1,430,735   $9,044,030   $10,474,765 

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and highly liquid short-term investments, with original maturities of three months or less. The amount is carried at cost, which approximates fair value. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit with financial institutions, as well as money market mutual funds.

 

General and other accrued expenses payable as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, include $1.2 million, respectively, of checks issued in excess of cash book balances, not yet presented for payment.

 

Investments

 

The Company’s investments are comprised of short-term and restricted investments as of March 31, 2014 and short-term, restricted, and long-term investments as of December 31, 2013. Restricted investments and long-term investments are described below. Short-term investments include certificates of deposit with original maturities greater than three months and maturities of one year or less. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, significant changes in prevailing interest rates and economic conditions should not adversely affect the timing and amount of cash flows on such investments or their related values. Accordingly, certificates of deposit are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.

 

The Company has pledged to the Texas Department of Insurance $2.0 million for the purpose of meeting obligations to policyholders and creditors. Restricted assets are shown separately in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as “Restricted cash and investments”. Although the Company, with the approval of the Texas Department of Insurance, may exchange the investments with other funds or investments, management intends to hold the portion of these restricted investments in certificates of deposit to their maturity. As such, these restricted certificates of deposit are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Interest earned on these investments inures to the benefit of the Company.

 

The Company has pledged an additional $240,000 to the Nevada Department of Insurance as part of the application process to write business in Nevada.

 

As of December 31, 2013, the Company’s investments also included certificates of deposit that mature more than one year after the balance sheet date and are reflected on the consolidated balance sheets as Long-term investments. Based on management’s intent to hold to maturity, this investment is carried at cost. Cost approximates fair value based on the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Homeowners of America Holding Corporation

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

The Company’s investments in certificates of deposits and money market accounts do not qualify as securities as defined in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 320, Investment – Debt and Equity Securities. Accordingly, the fair value disclosures required by FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures are not provided. Where applicable, the Company assesses investments of an issuer currently carrying a net unrealized loss. If in management’s judgment, the decline in value is other than temporary, the cost of the investment is written down to fair value with a corresponding charge to earnings. Factors considered in determining whether an impairment exists include financial condition, business prospects and creditworthiness of the issuer, the length of time and magnitude that the asset value has been less than cost, and the ability and intent to hold such investments until the fair value recovers.

 

Comprehensive Income

 

FASB ASC 220 - Comprehensive Income, requires that recognized revenues, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income (loss). Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the consolidated balance sheet, these items, along with net income (loss), are components of comprehensive income. The Company characterizes their fixed income portfolio as available-for-sale securities, with appropriate adjustments to other comprehensive income. There were no qualifying items reported in comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 or 2013.

 

Recognition of Premium Revenues

 

Premiums are recognized as revenue on a daily pro rata basis over the policy term. The portion of premiums related to the unexpired term of policies in force as of the end of the measurement period and to be earned over the remaining term of those polices, is deferred and reported as unearned premiums.

 

Ceding Commission

 

Ceding commissions represent acquisition costs associated with insurance risk ceded to reinsurers and is earned on a pro-rata basis over the life of the associated policy.

 

Policy Fees

 

Policy fee income includes application fees which are intended to reimburse the Company for a portion of the costs incurred in establishing the insurance. Policy fees on policies where premium is traditionally paid in full upon inception of the policy are recognized when written, while fees charged on policies where premiums are paid in installments, are recognized when collected.

 

Reinsurance Profit Sharing, Installment Fees and Other Income

 

Reinsurance profit share income is recognized when earned. Installment and other fees associated with the collection of installment premium payments are recognized as income when collected. Reinsurance profit share income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was 8.9% of total revenue within this classification on the consolidated statements of operations. Loss adjustment fee income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was 5.1% of total revenue within this classification on the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Property, Equipment and Software

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to five years. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or disposed are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is included in the consolidated statements of operations. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

 

Software installation and development is stated at cost, net of accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis method over three years.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets, such as property, equipment and software, are reviewed for impairment whenever business events or circumstances could lead to or indicate that the value of the asset is in fact may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on whether the carrying amount of the assets exceeds its fair value. The Company uses estimates of undiscounted future cash flows in determining the recoverability of long-lived assets. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, no impairment has been recorded.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

Deferred Policy and Acquisition Costs

 

Deferred policy acquisitions costs (“DAC”) as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, consist of commissions, premium taxes and policy underwriting and production expenses which are incurred through and vary directly with, the level of production of new and renewal insurance business and are amortized over the terms of the policies they relate to. The method used in calculating DAC limits the amount of the deferred cost to their estimated realizable value, which gives effect to allocating their expense along with other period costs associated with the insurance business, in relation to the amount of gross premium earned on policies to which they relate and investment income. DAC is reviewed to determine if it is recoverable from future income, including investment income. The amount of DAC considered recoverable could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future premium income from their related lines of insurance are revised.

 

Reserve for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses

 

The liability for losses and loss adjustment expenses (“LAE”) are estimates of the amounts required to cover known incurred losses and LAE, developed through the review and assessment of loss reports, along with the development of known claims. In addition, loss and loss adjustment expense reserves include management’s estimate of an amount for losses incurred but not reported (“IBNR”), determined from reviewing overall loss reporting patterns as well as the loss development cycles of individual claim cases. Such liabilities are necessarily based on estimates and while management believes that the amount is adequate, the ultimate liability may be more or less than the amounts provided. The approach and methods for making such estimates and for establishing the resulting liability are continually reviewed and any adjustments are reflected in current earnings.

 

Due and Deferred Premiums

 

Due and deferred premiums consist of uncollateralized premiums and agents’ balances in the course of collection as well as premiums booked but not yet due.

 

Reinsurance

 

In the normal course of business, the Company seeks to reduce the overall exposure to losses that may arise from catastrophes or other events that cause unfavorable underwriting results by reinsuring certain levels of risk with other insurance enterprises or reinsurers. The Company uses only quality, financially rated reinsurers and continually monitors the financial ratings of these companies through its brokers. The amount and type of reinsurance purchased each year is based on management’s estimate of its probable maximum loss and the conditions within the reinsurance market. The Company continually monitors its risk exposure through the use of the AIR modeling system and other modeling tools provided by its reinsurance brokers. Reinsurance premiums, expense reimbursements, and reserves related to 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. Premiums paid for reinsurance are reported as reductions of earned premium income.

 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss carryforwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be recovered or settled.

 

The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income tax expense represents the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In assessing the realizable value of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

Uncertain Tax Positions

 

The Company recognizes uncertain tax positions in the consolidated financial statements when it is more-likely-than-not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions are initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts. The Company believes that it has appropriate support for the income tax positions taken and to be taken on its tax returns, and that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open tax years based on an assessment of many factors including experience and interpretations of tax laws applied to the facts of each matter. At March 31, 2014, the Company’s tax years from 2010 through 2013 remain subject to examination.

 

Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s primary areas of estimate are for liabilities for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses, deferred policy acquisition costs, deferred tax and asset valuation, and reinsurance. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying value for the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments approximate fair values as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 due to their short-term nature. Fair value for securities are based on the framework for measuring fair value established by FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.

 

Convertible Notes Payable

 

The Company accounts for convertible notes payable under FASB ASC Topic 470-20 – Debt with Conversion and Other Options, which requires issuers to assess whether or not an embedded conversion feature is required to be separately accounted for as a derivative liability for liability and equity components and if the conversion feature is beneficial to the holder. See Note 9 on Convertible Notes Payable for additional disclosure.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the fair value recognition provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718 –Compensation – Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation for all stock-based awards made to employees and directors including stock options and restricted stock issuances based on estimated fair values. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation, if any, in the consolidated statements of operations on a straight line basis over the vesting period of the stock award. For those stock awards vesting 100% at the issue date, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation immediately.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income or loss, less cumulative preferred stock dividends for the period whether or not earned or paid, by the weighted-average number of common shares during the period.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the net income attributable to common stockholders was $475,245.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the net income attributable to common stockholders was decreased for cumulative dividends on preferred stock during the period of $357,496.

 

Diluted earnings (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income or loss attributable to common stockholders, adjusted for the effect of potentially dilutive securities, by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive securities had been issued. Potentially dilutive securities include convertible notes payable, outstanding convertible preferred stock and common stock options.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, all of the Company’s dilutive securities were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as dilutive. The total number of dilutive shares of common stock that were included totaled 902,500.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, all of the Company’s potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as they were anti-dilutive. The total number of potentially dilutive shares of common stock that were excluded totaled 13,118,125.

 

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

There have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in recent accounting pronouncements during the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, that are of significance, or potential significance, to the Company.

 

3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

MGA commenced operations September 1, 2010. As a captive insurance agency formed to service HAIC, MGA has the authority to receive and accept proposals for insurance, charge and collect premiums, maintain underwriting guidelines, prepare rate filings, appoint agents and create marketing materials and advertising. As compensation for these services, MGA retains the policy fees charged on each policy ranging from $50 to $75, as well as installment and delinquent collection fees. The policy fees and other miscellaneous charges were previously a component of HAIC operations.

 

In conjunction with the retention of certain policy fees at MGA, HAIC allocates a significant portion of its general expense base to MGA. HAIC allocated $1,523,107 and $1,213,862 of general expenses and taxes, licenses and fees to MGA during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The expense allocation agreement has been approved by the Texas Department of Insurance. On a consolidated company basis these transactions are eliminated.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, MGA collected policy fees in the amount of $1,126,725 and $977,651, respectively.

 

In December 2012, HAHC entered into a Convertible Promissory Note with Inter-Atlantic Fund, L.P. and Phoenix Associates, Inc., (companies controlled by a shareholder and former director, respectively). See Note 9 Convertible Notes Payable for additional disclosure.

5. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

The Company’s financial assets carried at fair value have been classified, for disclosure purposes, based on the hierarchy established within FASB ASC 820-10 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. When market prices are not available, fair value is generally estimated utilizing valuation techniques that vary by asset class and incorporate available trade, bid and other market information, when available. The acceptable valuation techniques include (a) market approach, which uses prices or relevant information derived from market transactions for identical or comparable assets or liabilities, (b) the Income Approach, which converts future amounts such as cash flows or earnings to a single present value amount based on current market expectations about those future amounts, and (c) the Cost Approach, which is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset. In certain circumstances, these valuation techniques may involve some level of management estimation and judgment which becomes significant with increasingly complex instruments or pricing models. Where appropriate, adjustments are included to reflect the risk premium inherent in a particular methodology, model or input used.

 

The fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize valuation inputs into three levels:

 

  · Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. These inputs are considered to be the most reliable evidence of fair value.

  · Level 2 – quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices from those willing to trade in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by market data for the term of the investment. Such inputs include market interest rates and volatilities, spreads and yield curves.

  · Level 3 – termed unobservable inputs which are utilized in situations where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. The approach typically involves a significant subjective management judgment toward the pricing of the security.

 

The Company’s short-term investments comprised of certificates of deposit held at financial institutions which are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis. A portion of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents include money market mutual fund accounts held at financial institutions which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The following tables provide information as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, about the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Money market mutual funds are valued at the closing price reported by the fund sponsor from an actively traded exchange. As the funds are generally maintained at a net asset value which does not fluctuate, cost approximates fair value. These are included as a Level 1 measurement in the table above.

 

6. PROPERTY, EQUIPMENT, AND SOFTWARE NET

 

Property, equipment, and software net consist of the following as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively:

 

   March 31,   December 31,    
   2014   2013   Useful Life

Depreciation and amortization expense for property, equipment and software totaled $27,295 and $19,854 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

7. DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISION COSTS AND CEDING COMMISSIONS

 

Total capitalized deferred policy acquisition costs as of March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, comprised of commissions, premium taxes and costs associated with underwriting and issuing policies were $6,216,053 and $5,142,365, respectively.

 

Changes in deferred policy acquisition costs for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, are as follows:

 

   March 31,   March 31, 
   2014   2013 
Deferred policy acquisition charges, beginning of the period  $6,214,334   $5,274,515 
   Capitalized costs   2,834,495    2,232,767 
   Amortized costs   (2,832,776)   (2,364,917)

Deferred ceding commissions, which represent acquisition costs associated with insurance risk ceded to other reinsurance partners, as of March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013 were $0 and $683,914, respectively. The decrease of $683,914 is due to a change in settlement procedures affecting the property quota share reinsurance program.

 

Changes in deferred ceding commissions for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013 are as follows:

 

   March 31,   March 31, 
   2014   2013

   Capitalized commissions   -    3,025,410 
   Amortized commissions   -    (3,025,410)
Deferred ceding commission, end of the period  $-   $683,914 

 

8. UNPAID LOSSES AND LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSES

 

Losses and loss adjustment expenses (LAE), less related reinsurance and deductibles, are charged to operations as incurred. Unpaid losses and LAE are based on claims adjusters’ estimates of the cost of settlement plus an estimate for losses IBNR based upon historical experience, industry loss experience, and management’s estimates. Loss reserves reflect Company management’s best estimate of the total cost of (i) claims that have been incurred but not yet paid, and (ii) claims that have been incurred, but not yet reported (IBNR). Loss reserves that are established by Company management are not an exact calculation of our liability, but rather loss reserves represent management’s best estimate for our Company’s liability based on the application of actuarial techniques and other projection methodology, taking into consideration other facts and circumstances known as of the balance sheet date. The process of setting reserves is complex and necessarily imprecise. The impact of both internal and external variables on ultimate loss and LAE costs is difficult to estimate. To arrive as its best estimate for losses, the Company uses damage estimating software developed and owned by acknowledged industry leader, Insurance Service Office. Reserves factors for IBNR are reviewed quarterly by an independent actuarial consultant. In addition, our appointed independent actuary attests to the adequacy of our unpaid claim reserve, including IBNR at calendar year end.

12.INCOME TAXES

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recorded $255,912 of income tax expense which resulted in estimated annual effective tax rate of 34.25%. The effective tax rate was primarily impacted as a result of permanent tax differences on meals and entertainment and stock-based compensation.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded $147,370 of income tax expense which resulted in estimated annual effective tax rate of 34.50%. The effective tax rate was primarily impacted as a result of permanent tax differences on meals and entertainment.

 

The Company’s federal income tax return is consolidated with HAIC and MGA. Allocation of tax expense or refunds among the consolidated group is based on separate return calculations.

 

13.REINSURANCE

 

Certain premiums and benefits are ceded to other insurance companies under various reinsurance agreements. The reinsurance agreements provide HAIC with increased capacity to write larger risks and maintain its exposure to loss within its capital resources. Ceded reinsurance contracts do not relieve HAIC from its obligations to policyholders. HAIC remains liable to its policyholders for the portion reinsured to the extent that any reinsurer does not meet the obligations assumed under the reinsurance agreements. To minimize its exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies, HAIC evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentrations of credit risk arising from similar geographic regions, activities, or economic characteristics of the reinsurers.

 

For the 12 month period commencing April 1, 2013 and ending March 31, 2014, the Company reinsured with various third party reinsurers under residential quota share reinsurance treaties, 90% of its risk. The reinsurers’ liability under the quota share arrangement beginning in respect to any one loss occurrence shall not exceed $80,000,000. Property catastrophe treaties, which went into effect on the same day and have the same term as the quota share treaties, develop over four layers and cover a gross loss of $76,000,000 excess of $4,000,000 per occurrence. The Company’s net retention is $400,000 per occurrence.

Property catastrophe treaties in effect at the end of 2012 develop over four layers and cover a gross loss of $62,000,000 excess of $3,000,000 per occurrence. The Company’s net retention is $300,000 per occurrence.

 

The Company also purchases reinsurance covering non-weather losses (two occurrences) in excess of a gross loss of $500,000 per occurrence for all coverage lines (a net loss of $50,000). This coverage which was in force during 2013 and 2012 has been obtained principally to protect the Company in the event of a large fire loss.

 

The effects of reinsurance on premiums written and earned were as follows, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013:

 

   March 31, 2014   March 31, 2013 
   Written   Earned   Written   Earned 
                     
Direct premiums  $14,428,945   $14,444,123   $11,776,925   $12,510,863 
Ceded premiums   (12,883,015)   (13,146,456)   (10,452,707)   (11,406,965)
                     
Net Premiums  $1,545,930   $1,297,667   $1,324,218   $1,103,898 

 

Following is a summary of HAIC’s reinsurance balances under the above described reinsurance treaties as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

 

   March 31, 2014   December 31, 2013 
           
Ceded premiums payable  $9,216,262   $3,271,858 
Ceded loss adjustment expenses   956,055    4,424,649 
Ceded loss and loss adjustment expense reserve   16,707,683    15,090,175 
Ceded unearned premium reserve   27,910,486    27,924,037 
Ceded earned premiums   13,146,456    48,422,943 

 

14. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

 

The Company has exposure and remains liable in the event of an insolvency of one of its primary reinsurers. Management and its reinsurance intermediary regularly assess the credit quality and ratings of its reinsurer base companies.

 

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of cash and money market accounts on deposit with financial institutions, money market funds, certificates of deposit and premium balance in the course of collection. With respect to cash and money market accounts. Section 343 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act provides temporary (to December 31, 2012) Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance coverage on all balances held in non-interest bearing accounts. Subsequent to December 31, 2012, insurance coverage on interest and non-interest bearing accounts continues at $250,000 per bank. At times, the Company’s bank deposits may exceed the FDIC limit.

 

The Concentration of credit risk with respect to premium balances in the course of collection is limited, due to the large number of insureds comprising the Company’s customer base. However, substantially all of the Company’s revenues are derived from customers in Texas, which could be adversely affected by economic conditions, an increase in competition, or other environmental changes.

It is management’s opinion that these lawsuits are not material individually or in the aggregate to the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flow.

 

16. REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS

 

HAIC is subject to the laws and regulations of the State of Texas and the regulations of any other states in which HAIC conducts business. State regulations cover all aspects of HAIC’s business and are generally designed to protect the interests of insurance policyholders, as opposed to the interests of stockholders. The Texas Insurance Code requires all property and casualty insurers to have a minimum of $2.5 million in capital stock and $2.5 million in surplus.

 

As of December 31, 2013, HAIC’s total statutory surplus was $8,963,573 (capital stock of $2,500,000 and surplus of $6,463,573).

 

As of March 31, 2014, HAIC’s total statutory surplus was $9,665,821 (capital stock of $3,000,000 and surplus of $6,665,821).

 

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, HAIC had restricted cash and investments totaling $2.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively, which have been pledged to the Texas Department of Insurance. As of March 31, 2014, HAIC has pledged $240,000 to the Nevada Department of Insurance. States routinely require deposits of assets for the protection of policyholders and creditors.

 

The Texas Insurance Code limits dividends from insurance companies to their stockholders to net income accumulated in the Company’s surplus account, or “earned surplus”.

 

The maximum dividend that may be paid without approval of the Insurance Commissioner is limited to the greater of 10% of the statutory surplus at the end of the preceding calendar year or the statutory net income of the preceding calendar year. No dividends were paid by HAIC in 2014 or 2013.

 

HAIC prepares its statutory-based financial statements in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Texas Department of Insurance. Prescribed statutory accounting practices primarily include those published as statements of SAP by the NAIC, as well as state laws, regulations and general administrative rules. Permitted statutory accounting practices encompass all accounting practice not so prescribed. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were no material permitted statutory accounting practice utilized by HAIC.

OVERVIEW

General

 

HAHC is a property and casualty insurance holding company incorporated in Delaware in 2005. In May 2006, we began selling property and casualty insurance products in Texas and beginning April, 2014, we began offering property and casualty insurance products in Arizona through our subsidiary, Homeowners of America Insurance Company. Through the use of highly automated underwriting tools, we currently offer homeowners, dwelling fire and extended coverage, tenant and condominium owners policies, within market segments which have proven to have long term profitability. Using internet-enabled applications, our products are offered to the public through independent insurance agents.

 

We did, until recently, offer private passenger automobile policies to homeowners in Texas. Our last policy expired October, 2013. The Texas private passenger automobile program was terminated as we were unable to capture a sufficient portion of the market at pricing which we deemed adequate to cover our expenses and provide a margin for profits.

 

We have applied for licenses to write business in thirty states. To date, we have received certificates of authority from Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, South Dakota, and Utah to offer homeowners, dwelling fire and extended coverage, tenant and condominium owners policies.

 

As mentioned previously, the Company sells insurance policies predominately in Texas. As such, the health of the Texas economy and housing market has a direct impact on the Company’s business activity. The following selected statistics are key indicators that management monitors when evaluating the Company’s current financial condition and operating results:

 

·Texas unemployment was 5.5% at March month end, as compared to the national U.S. of 6.3%.
·Single family building permits were up 7.4% and single family home prices were up 8.1% year over year as of March month end.
·Texas nonfarm employment rate increased 2.8% at March month end, as compared to an increase of the national U.S. rate of 1.7%.

 

These favorable economic indicators, in addition to the reduced numbers and intensity of springtime convectional thunder storm activity in the geographical areas where the Company writes the majority of its business are all factors which aided in the positive results recorded by the Company for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

 

Our principal revenues are earned premiums (which are reported net of reinsurance costs), ceding commissions and policy fees. We cede a substantial portion of our earned premium to reinsurers under a quota share program to mitigate high frequency risks as well as catastrophic events and under excess of loss contracts to mitigate losses from catastrophic events. Our principal expenses are claims from policyholders, policy acquisition expenses, and underwriting and other operating expenses. Our net income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $475,245.

 

Net income available to common stockholders was $475,245 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. As of March 31, 2014 we had total assets of $81.7 million and stockholders’ equity of $8.9 million.

 

20
 

 

At the end of 2013, our market share of the approximately $7.2 billion Texas homeowners insurance market was estimated to be 0.66% by SNL Financial, making us the 20th largest Texas homeowners company in terms of Texas premium. Our current property insurance policy in force count of 63,261 represents annualized premiums of approximately $61.3 million.

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was positively impacted by improved underwriting results. Net income was $475,245 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to net income of $265,697 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The primary factor in our improved results was the improvement in underwriting income, a direct result of reduced numbers and intensity of springtime convectional thunder storm activity in the geographical areas where the Company writes the majority of its business.

 

For the 12 month period commencing April 1, 2013 and ending March 31, 2014, the Company reinsured with various third party reinsurers under residential quota share reinsurance treaties, 90% of its risk. The reinsurers’ liability under the quota share arrangement beginning in respect to any one loss occurrence shall not exceed $80,000,000. Property catastrophe treaties, which went into effect on the same day and have the same term as the quota share treaties, develop over four layers and cover a gross loss of $76,000,000 excess of $4,000,000 per occurrence. The Company’s net retention is $400,000 per occurrence.

 

Three Months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the Three Months ended March 31, 2013

 

Our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 reflect income available to common stockholders of $475,245, or $0.03 earnings per diluted common share, compared to loss available to common stockholders of $91,799, or $(0.04) earnings per diluted common share, for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

 

Revenue

 

Premium production for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $14.4 million, an increase of $2.7 million or 22.52% over the same period in 2013. The Company attributes this growth to the effects of an increased number of insured properties, increased pricing in selected markets and maintaining persistency on policies subject to renewal in its target markets.

 

Gross Premiums Earned for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were $14.4 million and $12.5 million, respectively. The $1.9 million increase or 15.45%, is primarily the result of increased property insurance premium, which increased $2.8 million or 23.89%. The increase in property insurance premium is partially offset by a reduction of $0.1 million in private passenger auto insurance written premium year over year. The Company has made the strategic decision to exit the private passenger auto insurance business, with the last policy expiring in October 2013.

 

Premiums Ceded for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were approximately $13.1 million and $11.4 million, respectively. Our premiums ceded represent amounts paid to reinsurers to cover losses under both our quota share and excess of loss reinsurance treaties. Premiums ceded were 91.02% and 91.18% of gross premiums earned during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, primarily the result of our 90% quota share reinsurance program. We expect our reinsurance premiums applicable to the current fiscal year, as well as the reinsurance treaty year, to remain in excess of 90% of direct earned premium, trending slightly upward reflecting our increase in in-force premium.

 

Net Premiums Earned for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were $1.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively, and reflect the gross premiums earned less the appropriate reinsurance costs as described above.

 

Ceding Commission, Reinsurance Profit Sharing and Other Fee Income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $4.8 million compared to $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The primary factors for this improvement include increased policy volume and improved underwriting results mentioned previously.

 

Net Premiums Written during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 totaled $1.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Net premiums written represent the premiums charged on policies issued during a fiscal period less any applicable quota share reinsurance costs.

 

The following is a reconciliation of our total net premiums written to net premiums earned for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 (values in thousands):

 

   Three Months Ended 
   March 31, 
   2014   2013 
Net Premiums Written  $1,546   $1,324 
Change in Unearned Premium   2    141 
Catastrophe & EXOL Premium   (250)   (361)
Net Premiums Earned  $1,298   $1,104 

 

22
 

 

Gross Investment Income decreased approximately 34.18% in the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013. This is primarily the result of lower interest rates on the Company’s invested assets.

 

Expenses

 

Our Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses amounted to $350,976 and $532,417, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we experienced improved loss experience due to fewer convectional thunderstorm events in the geographical areas where our business is located, plus to a lesser extent, favorable loss development with respect to our net unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses established as of December 31, 2013. Together, these factors contributed to the overall favorable variance of approximately $181,000 with respect to the total losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013. Our liability for losses and loss adjustment expense (“Reserves”) is more fully described below under “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates”. These Reserves include both case reserves on reported claims and our reserves for IBNR losses. At each period-end date, the balance of our Reserves is based on our best estimate of the ultimate cost of each claim for those known cases and the IBNR loss reserves are estimated based primarily on our historical experience.

 

Policy Acquisition Expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 of $3.2 million and $2.7 million, respectively, primarily reflect the amortization of deferred acquisition costs including commissions payable to agents for production and renewal of policies, premium taxes and other costs associated with the acquisition of insurance policies. The net increase from the corresponding period in 2013 is primarily attributable to the increase in our overall production.

 

Underwriting and Other Operating Expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were $1.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively. The $0.5 million increase is primarily attributable to increases in compensation and compensation-related costs, and other administrative costs, which include a variety of professional service fees and other general expenses. As of March 31, 2014, we had 40 employees compared to 36 employees as of March 31, 2013.

 

Income Taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were $255,912 and $147,370, respectively, for state and federal taxes resulting in an effective tax rate of 34.25% for 2014 and 34.50% for 2013. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was impacted as a result of permanent tax differences on meals and entertainment.

 

Ratios:

 

The loss ratio applicable to the three months ended March 31, 2014 (losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred related to net premiums earned) was 27.05% compared to 48.23% for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Our loss ratio was positively impacted by a significant decrease in incurred losses incurred as a result of spring storm events, as previously mentioned.

 

Our expenses (policy acquisition, underwriting, and other operating expenses), as a percentage of direct earned premium was 34.82% for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to 32.10% for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase in our expense ratio is primarily attributable to higher property inspections, the result of an increase in quoting the Company’s product by its agency force, and other underwriting expenses, including an increase in compensation and compensation-related costs.

 

Another important measurement of operational effectiveness of the Company is the margin between our fee income and acquisition, underwriting, and other operating expenses due to our reliance on quota share reinsurance, under which approximately 90% of our property insurance premium is ceded to reinsurers. The Company receives a ceding commission from reinsurers for the production of the business. This fee income, along with other policy related fees that the Company charges, are used to offset the underwriting and other operating expenses it incurs in the production of premium. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 our acquisition and underwriting and other operating expenses were 104.64%, of policy related fee income, as compared to 104.41% for the three months ending March 31, 2013.

 

Due to the impact our reinsurance costs have on net premiums earned from period to period, our management believes the combined loss and expense ratio measured to total earned revenues is more relevant in assessing overall performance. The combined loss and expense ratio to total earned revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was 88.14% compared to 91.88% for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

 

Seasonality of Our Business

 

Our insurance business is seasonal, as convectional thunderstorms producing tornadoes and hail typically occur during the period from March 1 through June 30 each year. With our reinsurance treaty year effective April 1 each year, any variation in the cost of our reinsurance, whether due to changes in reinsurance rates or changes in the total insured value of our policy base will occur and be reflected in our financial results beginning April 1 each year.

 

23
 

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Since inception, we have financed our cash flow requirements through net premiums received and investment income. We believe our cash flow from net premiums and investment income will be sufficient to cover our cash outflows for at least the next 12 months. Beyond the next 12 months, our primary cash flow sources will continue to be from premiums and investment income.

 

In the insurance industry cash collected for premium from policies written is invested, interest and dividends earned thereon. Our primary cash outflows are claim payments and operating expense. In regard to claim payments, while the substantial portion of our claims are paid out within 90 – 180 days, the period of time payments are made varies by the circumstances of the claim, and loss settlement expenses can be paid over periods of more than one year. Additional cash outflow occurs through payments of underwriting costs such as commissions, taxes, payroll, and overhead expenses.

 

We believe that we maintain sufficient liquidity to pay claims and expense obligations of HAIC as well as to satisfy any unforeseen events including inadequate premium rates and reserve deficiencies. The Company maintains substantial reinsurance through reinsurers with superior financial ratings to provide sufficient liquidity in the case disasters impact the business we underwrite.

 

Cash Flows

 

Our cash flows from operating and investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 are summarized below.

 

Summary of Cash Flows

 

   Three Months Ended 
   March 31, 
   2014   2013 
         
Net cash provided by operating activities   1,562,179    2,170,267 
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities   542,355    (1,889,877)

 

We restated the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013. These restatements resulted in money market mutual fund accounts held at financial institutions, which were previously classified as short-term investments to be now classified as cash and cash equivalents. In addition, checks issued in excess of cash book balances, not yet presented for payment, which were previously classified as cash and cash equivalents are now classified as general and other accrued expenses payable. This correction resulted in a $9.0 million decrease in short-term investments included in cash flows used in investing activities and a corresponding increase in cash and cash equivalents, along with a $2.1 million increase in general and other accrued expenses payable in net cash provided by operating activities and a corresponding increase in cash flows used in investing activities. See Note 1 Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for additional disclosure.

 

Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014

 

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was approximately $1.6 million. Significant factors in this movement consisted primarily of cash received from net written premiums and investment income less cash disbursed for operating expenses and losses and loss adjustment expenses. Net cash provided by investing activities of $0.5 million was primarily due to redemptions of short-term and long-term investments of $1.3 million and $1.9 million, respectively, offset by purchases of short-term investments of $2.7 million.

 

Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013

 

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was approximately $2.2 million. Significant factors in this movement consisted primarily of cash received from net written premiums and investment income less cash disbursed for operating expenses and losses and loss adjustment expenses. Net cash used in investing activities of $1.9 million was primarily due to purchases of short-term and long-term investments of $0.3 million and $1.6 million, respectively.

 

The decrease of net cash provided by operating activities of $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to March 31, 2013 is primarily due to the net impact of balances due from reinsurers.

 

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

 

As of March 31, 2014, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

 

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In the preparation of these consolidated statements, Company management has made estimates and judgments to develop amounts reported as part of our results. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to changes over time are primarily related to our claim reserves. These include estimates for known claims, claims incurred but not yet reported and income taxes.

 

Reserves for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses

 

We establish reserves for the estimated total unpaid cost of losses including loss adjustment expenses, or LAE. Loss reserves reflect Company management’s best estimate of the total cost of (i) claims that have been incurred but not yet paid, and (ii) claims that have been incurred, but not yet reported (IBNR). Loss reserves that are established by Company management are not an exact calculation of our liability, but rather loss reserves represent management’s best estimate for our Company’s liability based on the application of actuarial techniques and other projection methodology, taking into consideration other facts and circumstances known as of the balance sheet date. The process of setting reserves is complex and necessarily imprecise. The impact of both internal and external variables on ultimate loss and LAE costs is difficult to estimate. To arrive at its best estimate for reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses, the Company uses damage estimating software developed and owned by acknowledged industry leader, Insurance Service Office.

Item 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer) the Company has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded these disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of March 31, 2014.

 

Previously Reported Material Weakness

 

Our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of December 31, 2013. The material weakness in internal control over financial reporting identified by management related to the incorrect classification of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and general and other accrued expenses payable during the first, second, and third quarters of 2013. See Note 1 Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for additional disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

The Company does not have any changes in our internal controls over financial reporting to report for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 which have materially affected or would likely materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

 

In designing and evaluating the disclosures and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures no matter how well designed and operated can produce only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, implementation of possible controls and procedures depends on management’s judgment in evaluation of their benefits relative to cost.

 

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

The Company is party to a number of legal actions as a result of claims filed by policyholders. These legal actions routinely arise in the ordinary course of our insurance business. Although we cannot predict with certainty the ultimate resolution of the lawsuits asserted against us, we do not believe that any currently pending legal proceedings to which we are a party will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
