Reinsurance

Standard is primarily a specialty writer of manufactured home physical damage insurance. Certain of Standard’s premiums and benefits are assumed from and ceded to other insurance companies under various reinsurance agreements. The ceded reinsurance agreements provide Standard with increased capacity to write larger risks and maintain its exposure to loss within its capital resources. Standard remains obligated for amounts ceded in the event that the reinsurers do not meet their obligations. Substantially all of Standard’s assumed reinsurance is with one entity.

The effects of reinsurance on premiums written and earned are as follows (in thousands):

	Year Ended						Year Ended
	March 30, 2013						March 31, 2012
	Written			Earned			Written			Earned
Direct premiums	$	7,191		$	4,637		$	2,084		$	1,377
Assumed premiums—nonaffiliate	13,598			12,074			8,762			8,315
Ceded premiums—nonaffiliate	(4,062		)	(4,062		)	(1,815		)	(1,815		)
Net premiums	$	16,727		$	12,649		$	9,031		$	7,877

Typical insurance policies written or assumed by Standard have a maximum coverage of $300,000 per claim, of which Standard cedes $240,000 of the risk of loss per reinsurance. Therefore, Standard maintains risk of loss limited to $60,000 per claim on typical policies. Amounts are recoverable by Standard through reinsurance for catastrophic losses in excess of $1.0 million per occurrence up to a maximum of $15.0 million in the aggregate.
