PART III - NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

The Registrant could not timely complete the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2023 due to the need to finalize the disclosure in the Form 10-Q as to the Registrant’s reclassification of components of ceded premiums within prior year net earned premiums, and the related reinsurance receivable asset and reinsurance balances payable liability. The reclassification has no effect on the Registrant’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.  The delay in filing could not be eliminated by the Registrant without unreasonable effort or expense.   In accordance with Rule 12b-25 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant will file its Form 10-Q no later than the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date.
