Total of the three largest receivable balances from unrelated reinsurers
$
150,635



At June 30, 2015, the three unrelated reinsurers from whom Fortegra has the largest receivable balances were: London Life Reinsurance Company (A. M. Best Rating: A); London Life International Reinsurance Corporation (A. M. Best Rating: not rated); and MFI Insurance Company, LTD (A. M. Best Rating: Not rated). The related receivables of London Life International Reinsurance Corporation are collateralized by assets held in trust accounts and letters of credit due to their offshore relationships. At June 30, 2015, the Company does not believe there is a risk of loss as a result of the concentration of credit risk in the reinsurance program.
