For the three-months ended September 30, 2012, the Company had a net
loss of $627,000, $0.25 per share, compared to a net loss of $650,000,
$0.26 per share, for the same period last year. The primary factor
contributing to the net loss for the quarter-ended September 30, 2012
was the increase in claim activity related to Hurricane Isaac. This
hurricane struck the Louisiana coast on August 29, 2012, resulting in
just over $3,400,000 in incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses.
Results for the quarter-ended September 30, 2011 were adversely impacted
by poor underwriting results from the non-standard auto program. This
program was discontinued in the fourth quarter of 2011.
For the nine-months ended September 30, 2012, the Company had a net loss
of $7,402,000, $3.00 share, compared to a net loss of $4,600,000, $1.86
per share, for the same period last year. Charges related to the Mobile
Attic litigation settlement was a primary factor impacting the first
nine months of 2012 coupled with third quarter incurred losses and LAE
from Hurricane Isaac. The first nine months of 2011 were adversely
impacted by an increase in tornado and wind related losses during the
month of April, the most significant of which was the April 27th, 2011
tornado outbreak (catastrophe 46) that ripped through the Southeastern
United States.
Shareholders' equity as of September 30, 2012 was $29,563,000, down
$8,452,000 compared to $38,015,000 as of December 31, 2011. Book value
per share decreased $3.43 per share for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2012 to $11.98 per share compared to $15.41 per share at
December 31, 2011. The decline in book value was primarily caused by the
net loss of $7,402,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30,
2012.
