SEGMENTS

The Company’s property and casualty insurance operations comprise one business segment.  The property and casualty insurance segment consists of seven lines of business:  dwelling fire and extended coverage, homeowners (including mobile homeowners), ocean marine, other liability, private passenger auto liability, commercial auto liability and auto physical damage.  Management organizes the business utilizing a niche strategy focusing on lower valued dwellings.  Our chief decision makers (President, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer) review results and operating plans making decisions on resource allocations on a company-wide basis.  The Company’s products are primarily produced through agents within the states in which we operate.  The Company’s life and accident and health operations comprise the second business segment.  The life and accident and health insurance segment consists of two lines of business: traditional life insurance and accident and health insurance. Premium revenues and operating income by industry segment for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, and 2011 (unaudited) are summarized below (dollars in thousands):
