UNICO AMERICAN CORPORATION

AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

SEPTEMBER 30, ~~2017~~2019

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business

Unico American Corporation is an insurance holding company ~~that underwrites~~whose subsidiaries underwrite and market property and casualty insurance, ~~through its insurance company subsidiary; provides property, casualty,~~ and transact health insurance, ~~through its agency subsidiaries; and provides~~ insurance premium financing and membership association ~~services through its other subsidiaries.~~services. Unico American Corporation is referred to herein as the "Company" or "Unico" and such references include both the corporation and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. Unico was incorporated under the laws of Nevada in 1969.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Unico American Corporation and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X for smaller reporting companies. Accordingly, the ~~condensed consolidated~~ financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, ~~2017.~~2019. Quarterly condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes in the Company’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K ~~for the year ended December 31, 2016,~~ as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to ~~the~~ current ~~quarter’s~~quarter presentation.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect its reported amounts of assets and liabilities and its disclosure of any contingent assets and liabilities at the date of its financial statements, as well as its reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant assumptions in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements relate to losses and loss adjustment expenses. While every effort is made to ensure the integrity of such estimates, actual results may differ.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company employs a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs for valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the exit price). Financial assets and financial liabilities recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value are categorized based on the reliability of inputs for the valuation ~~techniques. (See~~techniques (see Note ~~8.)~~7).

The Company has used the following methods and assumptions in estimating its fair value ~~disclosures:~~disclosures for instruments carried at fair value:

~~Fixed maturities:~~Short-term investments and investment securities, excluding long-term certificates of deposit – Fair values are obtained from widely accepted third party vendors.

~~Investment securities, excluding long-term certificates of deposit – Fair values are obtained from a national quotation service.~~

~~Long-term certificates of deposit – The carrying amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for these instruments approximate their fair values.~~

The Company has used the following methods and assumptions for estimating fair value for other financial instruments not carried at fair value:

Cash and ~~restricted~~ cash ~~and short-term investments –~~equivalents– The carrying amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets approximate their fair values given the short-term nature of these instruments.

Long-term certificates of deposit – The carrying amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for these instruments are at amortized cost which approximates their fair value.

89 of 3231

Receivables, net – The carrying amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets approximate their fair values given the short-term nature of these instruments.

Accrued expenses and other liabilities – The carrying amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets approximate the fair values given the short-term nature of these instruments.

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents are comprised of highly liquid investments with initial maturity of 90 days or less. Cash equivalents include, but not limited to, custodial trust, bank money market and savings accounts.

NOTE 2 – REPURCHASE OF COMMON STOCK – EFFECTS ON STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

On December 19, 2008, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program to acquire from time to time up to an aggregate of 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. This program has no expiration date and may be terminated by the Board of Directors at any time. As of September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, and December 31, ~~2016,~~2018, the Company had remaining authority under the 2008 program to repurchase up to an aggregate of ~~188,655~~188,269 and 188,625 shares of its common ~~stock.~~stock, respectively. The 2008 program is the only program under which there is authority to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company did not repurchase any stock during the three ~~or nine~~ months ended September 30, ~~2017.~~2019. The Company repurchased ~~8,812~~356 shares of stock during the nine months ended September 30, ~~2016,~~2019, in unsolicited transactions at a cost of ~~$89,582~~$2,121 of which ~~$4,331~~$175 was allocated to capital and ~~$85,251~~$1,946 was allocated to retained ~~earnings; the~~earnings. The Company ~~did not repurchase any~~repurchased 30 shares of stock during the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2016.~~2018, in unsolicited transactions at a cost of $216 of which $15 was allocated to capital and $201 was allocated to retained earnings. The Company has retired ~~and intends to~~or will retire all ~~repurchased~~ stock ~~as applicable.~~repurchased.

NOTE 3 – ~~LOSS~~EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

The following table represents the reconciliation of the Company's basic ~~loss~~earnings (loss) per share and diluted ~~loss~~earnings (loss) per share computations reported on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2017~~2019 and ~~2016:~~2018:

Basic earnings per share exclude the impact of common share equivalents and are based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share utilize the average market price per share when applying the treasury stock method in determining common share dilution. When outstanding stock options are dilutive, they are treated as common share equivalents for purposes of computing diluted earnings per share and represent the difference between basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding. In loss periods, stock options are excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share, as the inclusion of stock options would have an anti-dilutive effect. As of September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company had 0 and 222 common share equivalents that were excluded in the three months diluted loss per share calculation, respectively, and 0 and 530 common share equivalents that were excluded in the nine months diluted loss per share calculation, respectively.

NOTE 4 – RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Recently adopted standards

In ~~May 2017,~~February 2016, the ~~Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")~~FASB issued ~~Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2017-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Scope of Modification Accounting."~~ ASU ~~2017-09 provides guidance about which changes~~2016-02 “Leases.” ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize on the ~~terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718.

The Company does~~of ASU 2016-02 did not ~~anticipate that ASU 2017-09 will~~ have a material impact ~~on its consolidated financial statements~~to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and ~~related disclosures.~~the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

10 of 31

Standards not yet adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 replaces the current incurred loss methodology for recognizing credit losses with a current expected credit loss model, which requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. ASU 2016-13 also requires enhanced disclosures for better understanding of significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses. The Company is currently evaluating the effect ASU 2016-13 will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements, but expects the primary changes to be (i) the use of the expected credit loss model for its premium receivables and reinsurance recoverables and (ii) the presentation of credit losses within the available-for-sale fixed maturities portfolio through an allowance method rather than as a direct write-down. ASU 2016-13 will primarily impact the Company’s available-for-sale fixed maturities portfolio and reinsurance recoverables. ASU 2016-13 will become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2019. Since the Company’s fixed income portfolio is invested primarily in higher rated bonds (as of September 30, 2019, ~~but provides for an early adoption for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2018. The~~80.1% of available-for-sale fixed maturities, at fair value, were rated “A” or better) and the reinsurance is purchased from financially strong reinsurers, the Company ~~has not determined when it will adopt ASU 2016-13.~~

~~9 of 32~~

~~In February 2016,~~believes the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 “Leases.” This ASU requires lessees to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by all leases, including those historically accounted for as operating leases. The Company is currently evaluating the effect ASU 2016-02 will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 31, 2018, and will be applied under a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18 “Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash.” This ASU requires that a statement of cash flows explains the change during the period of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statements of cash flows. The Company early adopted this ASU as of December 31, 2016, and this ASU was applied using a retrospective approach for each period presented. Upon adoption of ~~this~~ ASU ~~the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows included restricted cash in the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts for cash and restricted cash. This ASU did~~2016-13 will not have a material impact onto the ~~Company’s consolidated financial statements, but this ASU required additional disclosures in “Note 10 – Cash and Restricted Cash” to these condensed consolidated financial statements.~~

~~In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-09 “Disclosures About Short-Duration Contracts.” The objective~~Condensed Consolidated Statements of this ASU is to increase transparency about significant estimates in unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses and provide additional information about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows related to unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses. ASU 2015-09 also requires entities to disclose information about significant changes in methodologies and assumptions used to calculate the liability for loss and loss expense reserves, including reasons for the changeOperations and the effects on the financial statements. ASU 2015-09 also requires entities to disclose a roll forward of the liability of loss and loss expense reserves for annual and interim reporting periods. The effective date of ASU 2015-09 was for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted this ASU as of December 31, 2016. This ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, but this ASU required additional disclosures in “Note 11 – Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses” to these condensed consolidated financial statements.Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

NOTE 5 – ACCOUNTING FOR ~~INCOME~~ TAXES

The Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries file consolidated federal and state income tax returns. Pursuant to a tax allocation agreement, the Company’s subsidiaries, Crusader Insurance Company (“Crusader”) and American Acceptance Corporation (“AAC”), are allocated taxes or tax credits in the case of losses, at current corporate rates based on their own taxable income or loss. The Company files income tax returns under U.S. federal and various state jurisdictions. The Company is subject to examination by U.S. federal income tax authorities for tax returns filed starting at taxable year ~~2013~~2015 and California state income tax authorities for tax returns filed starting at taxable year ~~2012.~~2014. There are no ongoing examinations of income tax returns by federal or state tax authorities.

As of September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, and December 31, ~~2016,~~2018, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits or ~~liabilities. In addition, the Company~~liabilities and, therefore, had not accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits or liabilities. However, if interest and penalties would need to be accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits or liabilities, such amounts would be recognized as a component of federal income tax expense.

As a California based insurance company, Crusader is obligated to pay a premium tax on gross premiums written in all states ~~in which~~that Crusader is admitted. Premium taxes are deferred and amortized as the related premiums are earned. The premium tax is in lieu of state franchise taxes and is not included in the provision for state taxes.

NOTE 87 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the Company employs a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs for the valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the exit price). Financial assets and financial liabilities recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value are categorized based on the reliability of inputs for the valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1 – Financial assets and financial liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

Level 2 – Financial assets and financial liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets; or valuation models whose inputs are observable, directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability as of the reporting date.

Level 3 – Financial assets and financial liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect the Company’s estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use in valuing the financial assets and financial liabilities as of the reporting date.

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy ~~level~~ within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Thus, a Level 3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are observable (Level 1 or Level 2) or unobservable (Level 3). The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

~~12 of 32~~

The following table presents information about the Company’s consolidated financial instruments and their estimated fair values, which are measured on a recurring basis and are allocated among the three levels within the fair value hierarchy, as of September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, and December 31, ~~2016:~~2018:

The Company closely monitors its investments. If an unrealized loss is determined to be other-than-temporary, it is written off as a realized loss through the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company’s methodology of assessing other-than-temporary impairments is based on security-specific analysis, performed by the Company’s independent investment advisor, as of the balance sheet date and considers various factors including the length of time to maturity and the extent to which the fair value has been less than the cost, the financial condition and the near-term prospects of the issuer, and whether the debtor is current on its contractually obligated interest and principal payments. The unrealized losses as of September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, and December 31, ~~2016,~~2018, were determined to be temporary.

Although the Company does not intend to sell its fixed maturity investments prior to maturity, the Company may sell investment securities from time to time in response to cash flow requirements, economic, regulatory, and/or market ~~conditions. During~~conditions or investment securities may be called by their issuers prior to the securities’ maturity. The Company did not sell or have any calls of investment securities and there were no realized investment gains or losses during the three months ended September 30, ~~2017,~~2019. The Company had one call of an investment security during the ~~Company sold two fixed maturity investments~~three months ended September 30, 2018 and realized a net investment gain of ~~$373~~$11 on ~~the sales.

The Company’s investment in certificates of deposit ~~included $35,426,000~~was $2,292,000 and ~~$60,780,000 of brokered certificates of deposit~~$7,126,000 as of September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, and December 31, ~~2016,~~2018, respectively. Brokered certificates of deposit provide the safety and security of a certificate of deposit combined with the convenience gained by one-stop shopping for rates at various institutions. This allows the Company to spread its investments across multiple institutions so that all of its certificate of deposit investments are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). Brokered certificates of deposit are purchased through UnionBanc Investment Services, LLC, a registered broker-dealer, investment advisor, member of FINRA/SIPC, and a subsidiary of Union Bank, N.A. Brokered certificates of deposit are a direct obligationAll of the issuing depository institution, are bank products of the issuing depository institution, are held in the name of Union Bank as Custodian for the benefit of the Company, and are FDIC insured within permissible limits. All the Company’s ~~brokered~~ certificates of deposit are within the FDIC insured permissible limits. Due to the nature of the Company’s business, certain bank accounts may exceed FDIC insured permissible limits.

The following securities from ~~four~~three different banks represent statutory deposits that are assigned to and held by the California State Treasurer and the Insurance Commissioner of the State of Nevada.

~~The restricted cash was represented by two cash deposits placed by Crusader~~with the Los Angeles Superior Court in lieu of appeal bonds. In December 2015, a judgment was finalized on a Crusader policy liability claim. Crusader appealed the judgment. As a part of the appeal, Crusader deposited $7,924,178 in cash with the Los Angeles Superior Court on December 28, 2015, in lieu of an appeal bond. This cash deposit was required to appeal the judgment. In March 2016, an additional judgment for plaintiff’s attorney fees and costs on this Crusader policy liability claim was finalized. Crusader appealed this additional judgment. That additional appeal required an additional $5,449,615 cash deposit, which was made on March 21, 2016, in lieu of an appeal bond. In September 2017, the two judgments were settled between the parties thereto for a total of $7,000,000 which was paid from the two deposits, and the remaining funds on deposit with the Los Angeles Superior Court for the two appeals in the amount of $6,373,793 were returned to Crusader and were invested in fixed maturities and short-term investments.

Some lines of insurance are commonly referred to as "long-tail" lines because of the extended time required before claims are ultimately settled. Lines of insurance in which claims are settled relatively quickly are called "short-tail" lines. It is generally more difficult to estimate loss reserves for long-tail lines because of the long period of time that elapses between the occurrence of a claim and its final disposition and the difficulty of estimating the settlement value of the claim. Crusader’s short-tail lines consist of its property coverages, and its long-tail lines consist of its liability coverages. However, Crusader’s long-tail liability claims tend to be settled relatively quicker than other long-tail lines not underwritten by Crusader, such as workers’ compensation, professional liability, umbrella liability, and medical malpractice. Since trends develop over longer periods of time on long-tail lines of business, the Company generally gives credibility to those trends more slowly than for short-tail or less volatile lines of business.

The $927,743 increase in the provision for insured events of current year for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the provision for insured events of current year for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, was due primarily to an aberrational increase in the frequency and severity of accident year 2017 short-tail property claims during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

The $5,441,657 increase in the development of insured events of prior years for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016, was primarily due to higher than expected severity of long-tail assault and battery liability claims in accident years 2011, 2014, and 2016 associated with Crusader’s Food, Beverage and Entertainment program. The Company believes the increase in the severity for these claims as compared to prior periods is due to relatively recent social, legal, and economic changes. The development on the accident year 2011 was due primarily to $1,497,499 in additional losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred due to the September 2017 $7,000,000 settlement (see Note 12). The developments on the accident years 2014 and 2016 were due primarily to the unexpected increase in the severity of existing assault and battery claims. As a result of the foregoing losses and loss adjustment expenses and the observed trend of increasing severity of assault and battery claims, the Company decided to significantly curtail or entirely exclude coverage for risks of assault and battery covered through the Food, Beverage and Entertainment program.

NOTE 1210 – CONTINGENCIES

The Company, by virtue of the nature of the business conducted by it, becomes involved in numerous legal proceedings as either plaintiff or defendant. From time to time, the Company is required toresort to legal proceedings against vendors providing services to the Company or againstcustomers or their agentsto enforce collection of premiums, commissions, or fees. These routine items of litigation do not materially affect the Company and are handled on a routine basis by the Company through its counsel.

The Company establishes reserves for lawsuits, regulatory actions, and other contingencies for which the Company is able to estimate its potential exposure and believes a loss is probable. For loss contingencies believed to be reasonably possible, the Company discloses the nature of the loss contingency, an estimate of the possible loss, a range of loss, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made.

Likewise, the Company is sometimes named as a cross-defendant in litigation, which is principally directed against an insured who was issued a policy of insurance directly or indirectly through the Company. Incidental actions related to disputes concerning the issuance or non-issuance of individual policies are sometimes brought by customers or others. These items are also handled on a routine basis by counsel, and they do not generally affect the operations of the Company. Management is confident that the ultimate outcome of pending litigation should not have an adverse effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position. The Company vigorously defends itself unless a reasonable settlement appears appropriate.

In December 2015, a judgment was finalized on a Crusader policy liability claim. Crusader appealed the judgment. As a part of the appeal, Crusader deposited $7,924,178 in cash in lieu of an appeal bond with the Los Angeles Superior Court on December 28, 2015. This cash deposit was required to appeal the judgment. In March 2016, an additional judgment for plaintiff’s attorney fees and costs on this Crusader policy liability claim was finalized. Crusader appealed this additional judgment. That additional appeal required an additional cash deposit in lieu of an appeal bond of $5,449,615. The additional cash deposit was made on March 21, 2016. In September 2017, the two judgments were settled between the parties thereto for a total of $7,000,000 which was paid from the two deposits, and the remaining funds on deposit with the Los Angeles Superior Court for the two appeals were returned to Crusader.

One of the Company’s agents, which the Company appointed in 2008 to assist in expanding its Transportation program, failed to pay the net premium and policy fees due to Unifax, the exclusive general agent for Crusader. The agent was initially late in paying its February 2009 production that was due to Unifax on April 15, 2009. In May 2009, as a result of the agent’s failure to timely pay its balance due to Unifax, the Company terminated its agency agreement and assumed ownership and control of that agent’s policy expirations written with the Company. The Company subsequently commenced legal proceedings against the agent corporation, its three principals (who personally guaranteed the agent’s obligations) and another individual for the recovery of the balance due and any related recovery costs incurred. All related recovery costs have been expensed as incurred. The agent corporation and two of its principals filed bankruptcy. The corporation was adjudicated bankrupt. The Company obtained judgments, non-dischargeable in bankruptcy, for the full amount due from the two principals who filed bankruptcy. The other principal stipulated to a judgment of $1,200,000. The claim against the fourth individual was resolved. The Company collected $0 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. As of September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the agent’s balance due to Unifax was $1,181,272. As of September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the Company’s bad debt reserve associated with this matter was $1,181,272 which represents 100% of the balance due to Unifax. Although the receivable is fully reserved for financial reporting purposes at September 30, 2017, the Company continues to pursue collection of the judgments from the three principals.

~~NOTE 13 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS~~

In October 2017, a number of wildfires burned through several Northern California counties. The Company has received three claims related to these fires and began adjusting them. As of the date of this report, the Company believes these three claims will not materially and adversely impact the~~Company's consolidated financial statements. Due to the recent nature and scale of these events, however, it is difficult to estimate ultimate losses related to the wildfires and their potential impact on the Company’sconsolidated financial statements and related disclosures~~.

On October 24, 2017, Crusader issued a cash dividend of $3,000,000 to Unico, its parent and sole shareholder. This dividend was used primarily for general corporate purposes. Based on Crusader’s statutory surplus for the year ended December 31, 2016, the maximum dividend that could be made by Crusader to Unico without prior regulatory approval in 2017 is $5,912,044.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

In December 2015, a judgment was finalized on a Crusader Insurance Company (“Crusader”, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) policy liability claim. In March 2016, an additional judgment for plaintiff’s attorney fees and costs on this Crusader policy liability claim was finalized. In September 2017, the two judgments were settled between the parties thereto for a total of $7,000,000.As a result of this settlement, the Company incurred $1,422,499 and $1,497,499 in additional losses and loss adjustment expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.2018.

This overview discusses some of the relevant ~~material~~ factors that management considers in evaluating the Company's performance, prospects, and risks. ~~This discussion should~~It is not all inclusive and is meant to be read in conjunction with the ~~Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for~~entirety of the ~~year ended December 31, 2016, including management’s~~management discussion and analysis, ~~of financial condition and results of operations and~~ the Company's consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, and all other items contained within the Company’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company’s financial performance has suffered in recent years, and the Company has reported net losses for each fiscal year beginning with the year ended December 31, 2015. While losses in recent years have been driven primarily by losses from Crusader’s policies and Crusader’s high loss ratios, management believes that other contributing factors include (1) flat or declining revenues due to intense competition, (2) the somewhat-fixed nature of many of the Company’s expenses relative to flat or declining revenues, (3) the failure to have replaced or upgraded the Company’s legacy IT system in order to process Crusader’s smaller premium accounts more efficiently, and (4) the failure to have shifted focus to larger premium accounts and fee-for-service operations.

16 of 31

In 2018, the Company determined that the cost to replace its legacy IT system would be between $4,000,000 and $8,000,000, and the installation of such a system would take between two to four years. After weighing the time and expense involved against the anticipated benefit from such an investment, the Company opted for what it then perceived to be a less expensive upgrade to its legacy system, an upgrade that then seemed to offer more incremental benefits in a shorter timeframe. While initially expected to be completed by the end of 2019, at a cost of approximately $300,000, excluding costs of Unico's employees involved in the upgrade, the system upgrade is now expected to be completed by the end of 2020, at a cost of approximately $1,200,000, excluding costs of Unico's employees involved in the upgrade, due to unexpected technical challenges. In light of the significant delays and increases in cost associated with its legacy upgrade project, the Company has deployed additional resources toward the management of this project and has renegotiated the relationship that it has with the non-affiliated vendor working on this project.

To improve Crusader's loss ratios, beginning in January 2017, the Company made significant changes in its staffing and in its pricing and risk selection practices. To improve revenues the Company is working to improve its sales in the markets that it has historically served, to gain access to markets that it has not previously served, and to generate new sources of revenue on a fee-for-service basis. For example, the Unifax operations are seeking opportunities to transact admitted and non-admitted business with non-affiliated insurers, where Crusader will not be underwriting the risk, providing Unifax with a wider range of possibilities for their products and services; also, the Company re-activated its US Risk Managers, Inc. subsidiary so that it can provide claims adjustment services to non-affiliated insurers and to self-insurers on a fee-for-service basis (i.e., where Crusader will not be underwriting the risk), providing the potential for an alternative revenue source to the Company; also, the Company plans to execute a "fronting" agreement with a non-admitted, non-affiliated insurer that is rated "A-" or better by A.M. Best Company thereby providing Unifax and Crusader with a wider range of possibilities for their products and services.

Revenue and Income Generation

The Company receives its revenues primarily from earned premium derived from the insurance company ~~operation,~~operations, commission and fee income generated from the insurance agency ~~operation,~~operations, finance charges and fee income from the premium finance ~~operation,~~operations, and investment income from ~~cash~~funds generated primarily from the insurance company operation. The insurance company operation generated approximately 92% of ~~total~~consolidated revenues for ~~each of~~ the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2017, and~~2019, compared to 92% of consolidated revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2016. The~~2018. None of the Company’s ~~remaining~~other operations ~~constitute a variety of specialty insurance services, each with unique characteristics and~~is individually ~~not~~ material to ~~total~~consolidated revenues.

Insurance Company Operation

As of September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, Crusader was licensed as an admitted insurance carrier in the states of Arizona, California, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington. From 2004 until September 2014, all of Crusader’s business was written in the state of California. ~~Crusader began writing~~Crusader’s business remains concentrated in California (99.8% of direct written premium, which represents written premium before cession to reinsurers, during the ~~states~~three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 99.6% of ~~Arizona~~direct written premium during the three and ~~Washington in~~nine months ended September ~~2014 and May 2017, respectively.~~

In October 2016, A.M. Best Company reaffirmed Crusader’s financial strength rating of A- (Excellent) and a rating outlook of “stable.” In addition, in October 2016, A.M. Best Company assigned Crusader an Issuer Credit Rating of a- (Excellent)30, 2018).

The property and casualty insurance business is cyclical in nature. The conditions of a soft market include premium rates that are stable or falling and insurance is readily available. Contrarily, “hard market” conditions occur during periods in which premium rates rise and coverage may be more difficult to find. The Company believes that the California property and casualty insurance market is intensely competitive but relatively stable.

Crusader believes that it can grow its sales and profitability through improved specialization and sales incentives. Crusader currently focuses in four underwriting verticals: (1) Transportation, (2) Food, Beverage & Entertainment, (3) Garage & Mercantile, and (4) Apartments & Commercial Buildings. Crusader also is evaluating the possibility of expanding its operations geographically, on an admitted or non-admitted basis, so as to offer similar products in other states, but the timing of any such expansion is not yet determined.

Written premium is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined, under the statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the California Department of Insurance, as the contractually determined amount charged by the insurance company to the policyholder for the effective period of the contract based on the expectation of risk, policy benefits, and expenses associated with the coverage provided by the terms of the policies. Written premium is a required statutory measure. Written premium is defined under GAAP in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 405, “Liabilities,” as “premiums on all policies an entity has issued in a period.” Earned premium, the most directly comparable GAAP measure to written premium, represents the portion of written premium that is recognized as income in the financial statements for the period presented and earned on a pro-rata basis over the terms of the policies. Written premium is intended to reflect production levels and is meant as supplemental information and not intended to replace earned premium. Such information should be read in conjunction with the GAAP financial results.

Underwriting gain or loss before income taxes is a non-GAAP financial measure. Underwriting gain or loss before income taxes represents one measure of the pretax profitability of the insurance company operation and is derived by subtracting losses and loss adjustment expenses, and policy acquisition costs from net earned premium, which are all GAAP financial measures. Management believes disclosure of underwriting gain or loss before income taxes is useful supplemental information that helps align the reader’s understanding with management’s view of insurance company operations profitability. Each of these captions is presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations but is not subtotaled.

The following is a reconciliation of Crusader’s underwriting gain (loss) before income taxes to the Company’s income (loss) before taxes:

The Company evaluates its unearned premiums periodically for premium deficiencies by comparing the sum of expected claim costs, unamortized deferred policy acquisition costs, and maintenance costs partially offset by net investment income to related unearned premiums. To the extent that any of ~~Crusader’s~~the Company’s programs become unprofitable, a premium deficiency reserve may be required. ~~During the three months ended September 30, 2017, Crusader established a $150,000 premium deficiency reserve; Crusader~~The Company did not carry ~~such~~a premium deficiency reserve ~~prior to the three months ended~~as of September 30, ~~2017.~~2019, and December 31, 2018.

On January 17, 2019, the A.M. Best Company downgraded Crusader’s Financial Strength Rating to “B++” (Good) from “A-” (Excellent) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating to “bbb+” from “a-”. The outlook of the Financial Strength Rating has been revised to stable from negative while the outlook of the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating remains negative. The rating downgrades reflect a revision in A.M. Best’s assessment of the company’s operating performance to “adequate” from “strong.” Some of Crusader’s policyholders, or the lenders, landlords or clients of Crusader’s policyholders, require insurance from a company that has an A.M. Best Company rating of “A-” or higher, and the A.M. Best Company’s changed rating of Crusader may also have a negative impact on Crusader’s reputation. Therefore, Crusader’s changed rating may have a negative impact on the Company’s revenue and results of operations. The Company cannot quantify the impact that the rating change will have on its revenue and results of operations, and the Company cannot determine if or when Crusader might regain the “A-” rating from the A.M. Best Company. The Company does not expect Crusader to regain the A.M. Best Company “A-” rating prior to January of 2021.

The property and casualty insurance business is cyclical in nature. The conditions of a “soft market” include premium rates that are stable or falling and insurance is readily available. Contrarily, “hard market” conditions occur during periods in which premium rates rise and coverage may be more difficult to find. The Company believes that the California property and casualty insurance market is relatively mature and intensely competitive, with different products in different stages of the soft/hard market cycle at any given time.

Revenues from Other Insurance Operations

The Company’s revenues from other insurance operations consist of commissions, fees, investment and other income. Excluding investment and other income, these operations accounted for approximately 8% of total revenues in ~~each of~~ the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, and ~~the three and nine months ended~~ September 30, ~~2016.~~2018.

Investments ~~and Liquidity~~

The Company generated revenues from its total invested assets of ~~$97,359,864~~$83,091,961 (at amortized cost) and ~~$90,782,232~~$89,933,321 (at amortized cost) as of September 30, ~~2017~~2019 and 2016, respectively, and from two cash deposits placed with the Los Angeles Superior Court by Crusader in lieu of appeal bonds. These two deposits, totaling $13,373,793, were made on December 28, 2015, for $7,924,178, and on March 21, 2016, for $5,449,615, and their respective balances were included in “Cash and restricted cash” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and were not a part of the total invested assets as of December 31, 2016. In September 2017, two judgments associated with the two deposits in lieu of appeal bonds were settled for a total of $7,000,000 which was paid from the two deposits, and the remaining funds on deposit with the Los Angeles Superior Court were returned to Crusader.2018, respectively.

Net investment income (net of investment expenses) included in insurance company operation and other insurance operations revenue increased ~~$74,922 (32%~~$30,552 (6%) and ~~$126,674 (19%~~$196,530 (14%) to ~~$309,492~~$518,111 and ~~$785,785~~$1,581,494 for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, respectively, compared to ~~$234,570~~$487,559 and ~~$659,111~~$1,384,964 for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2016,~~2018, respectively. ~~The~~This increase in net investment income was due primarily ~~a result of an~~to increase in the ~~Company’s annualized~~ yield on average invested assets to 1.2% and 1.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, from 1.0% and 0.9% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively (as defined in “Results of Operations”).assets.

The increase in the annualized yield on average invested assets is primarily a result of a decrease in lower yielding short-term investments and an increase in higher yielding fixed maturity investments as a result of investment into new classes of fixed maturity securities. Due to the current interest rate environment, athe current target effective duration for the Company’s investment portfolio is between 3.25 and 4.75 years. As of September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, all of the Company’s investments are in U.S. treasury securities, corporate fixed maturity securities, agency mortgage-backed securities, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured certificates of deposit, money market funds, and a savings account. The Company’s investments in ~~U.S~~U.S. treasury securities, corporate fixed maturity securities, agency mortgage-backed securities, and money market funds are readily marketable. As of September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, the weighted average maturity of the Company’s investments was approximately ~~2.7~~7.2 years, and the effective duration for available-for-sale investments (investments managed under the investment guidelines) was 2.9 years.

~~Liquidity and Capital Resources~~LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Crusader has a significant amount of cash, cash equivalents, and investments as a result of its holdings of unearned premium reserves, its reserves for loss and loss adjustment expense payments, ~~restricted cash,~~ and its capital and surplus. Crusader's loss and loss adjustment expense payments are the most significant cash flow requirement of the Company. These payments are continually monitored and projected to ensure that the Company has the liquidity to cover these payments without the need to liquidate its investments. Cash, ~~restricted~~ cash equivalents, and investments (at amortized cost) of the Company at September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, were ~~$97,590,240~~$90,619,898 compared to ~~$104,072,824~~$95,037,304 at December 31, ~~2016.~~2018. Crusader's cash, ~~restricted~~ cash equivalents, and investments were ~~94%~~99% and 98% of the total cash and investments (at amortized cost) held by the Company as of September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, and December 31, ~~2016.~~2018, respectively.

The Company is required to classify its investmentsecurities into one of three categories: held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading securities.Although ~~all~~part of the Company's ~~investment~~investments in fixed maturity securities ~~are~~is classified as available-for-sale and, whilethe Company may sell investment securities from time to time in response to economic, regulatory, and market conditions, its investment guidelines place primary emphasis on buying and holding high-quality investments to maturity.

For a period beginning prior to fiscal 2015 and ending on March 24, 2017, the Company’s investment guidelines on equity securities limited investments in equity securities to an aggregate maximum of $2,000,000. The Company’s investment guidelines on fixed maturities limited those investments to high-grade obligations with a maximum term of eight years. The maximum investment authorized in any one issuer was $2,000,000. This dollar limitation excluded bond premiums paid in excess of par value and U.S. government or U.S. government guaranteed issues. When the Company invested in fixed maturity municipal securities, preference was given to issues that are pre-refunded and secured by U.S. treasury securities. The short-term investments were either U.S. government obligations, FDIC insured, or are in an institution with a Moody's rating of at least P2 and/or a Standard & Poor's rating of A1. All of the Company's fixed maturity investment securities were rated, readily marketable, and could be liquidated without any materially adverse financial impact.

~~On March 24, 2017, the~~ Company’s Board of Directors approved ~~new~~ investment ~~guidelines. Those~~ guidelines which are similar to what the Company believes are general investment guidelines used by Crusader’s peers.

Under the ~~new~~Company’s investment guidelines, investments may only include U.S. treasury notes, U.S. government agency notes, mortgage-backed securities (including pass through securities and collateralized mortgage obligations) that are backed by agency and non-agency collateral, commercial mortgage-backed securities, U.S. corporate obligations, asset backed securities, (including but not limited to credit card, automobile and home equity backed securities), tax-exempt bonds, preferred stocks, common stocks, commercial paper, repurchase agreements (treasuries only), mutual funds, exchange traded funds, bank certificates of deposits and time deposits. The ~~new~~ investment guidelines provide for certain investment limitations in each investment category.

Unless agreed to in advance in writing by Crusader, investments in the following types of securities are prohibited:

	•		Mortgage loans, except for mortgage backed securities issued by an agency of the U.S. government.
	•		Derivative mortgage-backed securities including interest only, principal only and inverse floating rate securities.
	•		All fixed maturity real estate securities, except mortgage-backed securities (including pass through securities and collateralized mortgage obligations) that are backed by agency and non-agency collateral and commercial mortgage-backed securities.
	•		Options and futures contracts.
	•		All non-U.S. dollar denominated securities.
	•		Any security that would not be in compliance with the regulations of Crusader’s state of domicile.

Other fluctuations in cash flows from operating activities relate to~~payments, unearned premium holdings, and the timing of the collection and the payment of insurance-related receivables and payables. The increase in net cash used by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, was due primarily to increase in reinsurance recoverables associated with several large losses which were incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2019, partially offset by higher unearned premium reserves associated with the increase in direct written premium during the three months ended September 30, 2019. The variability of the ~~Company’s~~Company's losses and loss adjustment expenses is primarily due to its small population of claims which may result in greater fluctuations in claim frequency and/or severity. Although the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows reflect net cash used by operating activities, the Company does not anticipate future liquidity problems, and the Company believes ~~that~~ it continues to be well capitalized and adequately reserved.

Written premium

Written premium is a required statutory measure. Direct written premium (written premium before reinsurance) reported on Crusader’s statutory financial statements ~~decreased $220,841 (2%~~increased $1,599,363 (20%) and ~~$267,576 (1%~~$3,140,604 (13%) to ~~$9,446,205~~$9,444,753 and ~~$29,387,988~~$27,428,336 for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, respectively, compared to ~~$9,667,046~~$7,845,390 and ~~$29,120,412~~$24,287,732 for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2016,~~2018, respectively.

The property casualty insurance marketplace continues to be intensely competitive. While Crusader attempts to meet such competition with competitive prices, its emphasis is on service, innovation, promotion, and distribution. Crusader believes that rate adequacy is more important than premium growth and that underwriting profit (net earned premium less losses and loss adjustment expenses and policy acquisition costs) is its primary goal. As a result, in November 2016, Crusader filed for rate increases on several programs with the California Department of Insurance; those increases were approved on May 15, 2017, and implemented during the three months ended June 30, 2017. The ~~purpose of the rate increases is to generate higher net earned premium to offset increases in losses and loss adjustment expenses.~~

~~Crusader~~Company believes that it can grow its sales and profitability ~~by continuing to focus upon five areas of its operations:~~through improved specialization and sales incentives, currently focused in four underwriting verticals: (1) ~~product development,~~Transportation, (2) ~~improved service to retail brokers,~~Food, Beverage & Entertainment, (3) ~~appointment of captive~~Garage & Mercantile, and ~~independent retail agents,~~ (4) geographical expansion, and (5) use of alternative marketing channels. While the Company’s policy administration system continues to support the Company’s existing operations, the Company believes it would realize more competitive parity with respect to product and service by switching or upgrading to a web-based platform.Apartments & Commercial Buildings. The ~~Company is currently evaluating its alternatives.~~

~~Earned~~increases in direct written premium~~(before reinsurance) increased $320,748 (3%) to $9,850,659 and $1,493,078 (5%) to $29,290,593~~ for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2017, respectively, compared~~2019, are due to ~~$9,529,911~~growth in the Company's Transportation underwriting vertical partially offset by declines in the other three underwriting verticals.

Direct earned premium

Direct earned premium (earned premium before reinsurance) increased $272,964 (3%) to $8,784,537 and ~~$27,797,515~~decreased $1,891,910 (7%) to $25,006,311 for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2016, respectively. The Company writes annual policies~~2019, respectively, compared to $8,511,573 and ~~therefore, earns written premium ratably over the one-year policy term.~~

~~Ceded earned premium increased $133,434 (9%) to $1,682,407 and $455,273 (10%) to $4,981,492~~$26,898,221, for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2017, respectively, compared~~2018, respectively. The Company writes annual policies. Earned premium represents a portion of written premium that is recognized as income in the financial statements for the period presented and earned daily on a pro-rata basis over the terms of the policies, and, therefore, premiums earned in the current year are related to ~~$1,548,981~~policies written during both the current year and ~~$4,526,219~~immediately preceding year. The increase in direct earned premium for the three months ended September 30, 2019, was due primarily to an increase in direct written premium. The decrease in direct earned premium for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, was due primarily to a decrease direct written premium in 2018.

Ceded earned premium

Ceded earned premium (premium ceded to reinsurers under reinsurance treaties) increased $218,710 (14%) to $1,805,839 and $316,145 (6%) to $5,245,350 for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2016,~~2019, compared to $1,587,129 and $4,929,205 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. Ceded earned premium as a percentage of direct earned premium was ~~17%~~21% for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2017,~~2019 and ~~16%~~19% and 18% for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2016.~~2018, respectively. The increase in the ceded earned premium as a percentage of direct earned premium for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, was due primarily to higher rates on Crusader’s excess of loss reinsurance treaties.

Reinsurance treaties are generally structured in layers, with different negotiated economic terms and retention of participation, or liability, in each layer. In calendar ~~years 2017~~year 2019, Crusader will retain a participation in its multiple lines excess of loss reinsurance treaties of 0% in its 1^st layer (reinsured losses between $500,000 and ~~2016,~~$1,000,000), 0% in its 2^nd layer (reinsured losses between $1,000,000 and $4,000,000), and 0% in its property and casualty clash treaty. In calendar year 2018, Crusader retained a participation in its excess of loss reinsurance treaties of 5% ~~and 10%, respectively,~~ in its 1^st layer ~~($500,000 in excess of $500,000)~~(reinsured losses between $500,000 and $1,000,000), 0% in its 2^nd layer ~~($2,000,000 in excess of $1,000,000)~~(reinsured losses between $1,000,000 and $4,000,000), and 0% in its property and casualty clash treaty.

Crusader also has catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance treaties from various highly rated California authorized and California unauthorized reinsurance companies. These reinsurance treaties help protect Crusader against losses in excess of certain retentions from catastrophic events that may occur on property risks which Crusader insures. In calendar years ~~2017~~2019 and ~~2016,~~2018, Crusader retained a participation in its catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance treaties of 5% in its 1^st layer ~~($9,000,000 in excess of $1,000,000)~~(reinsured losses between $1,000,000 and $10,000,000) and 0% in its 2^nd layer ~~($36,000,000 in excess of $10,000,000)~~(reinsured losses between $10,000,000 and $46,000,000).

The Company evaluates each of its ceded reinsurance contracts at its inception to determine if there is a sufficient risk transfer to allow the contract to be accounted for as reinsurance under ~~GAAP.~~current accounting literature. As of September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, all such ceded contracts are accounted for as risk transfer reinsurance.

The Company believes the increase in the severity$2,867,960 adverse development for these claims as compared to prior periods is due to relatively recent social, legal, and economic changes. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the development on the accident year 2011 was due primarily to $1,422,499 and $1,497,499 in additional losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred, respectively, due to the September 2017 $7,000,000 settlement. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the development on the accident year 2014 was due primarily to the unexpected increase in the severity of existing assault and battery claims. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, the development on the accident year 2016 was due primarily to a $580,329 increase in incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) reserves for the Food, Beverage and Entertainment program; total IBNR reserves increase for all accident years for the Food, Beverage and Entertainment program was $1,323,665 for the three months ended September 30, 2017. For the nine months ended September 30, ~~2017, the development on the accident year 2016 was~~2018, due primarily to ~~the unexpected increase~~decreases in ~~the severity of existing assault~~incurred losses and ~~battery claims.

Crusader experienced adverse development of insured events of prior years during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, and nine months ended September 30, 2018, due primarily to habitability claims associated with Crusader's Apartment Buildings policies. With respect to such habitability claims, in recent periods Crusader experienced increases in frequency and in severity per claimant due to changes in the legal environment associated with "social inflation". Social inflation encompasses several concepts, including the emergence of new classes or types of claims, changes in judicial awards, and other changes beyond assumed levels that impact the cost of claims. For example, while Crusader has underwritten Apartment Building risks in California for over 30 years, the frequency and severity of habitability claims arising from those risks grew significantly in recent years, a problem that was compounded by California's relatively pro-tenant, anti-landlord legal climate and the legal climate pertaining to applicability of insurance coverage for losses or claims not traditionally considered to be covered. In May 2018, Crusader began implementing significant changes to its practice of underwriting Apartment Building risks, changes meant to mitigate the increased risks caused by such social inflation. Crusader revised its strategy as to issuing its policies and as to the handling of such claims, whereby it now issues more restrictive policy language, charges higher premiums, and handles claims from prior policies so as to more precisely reserve and enforce its rights while observing its duty to defend and to indemnify only covered losses. The goal of these changes is to create a more predictable, well-managed underwriting environment, protecting against runaway verdicts, unexpected losses and bad-faith exposures, so that the Company can continue to serve the Apartment Building market segment.

The variability of Crusader’s losses and loss adjustment expenses for the periods presented is primarily due ~~primarily~~ to ~~Crusader’s~~the small and diverse population of Crusader’s policyholders and claims, ~~population,~~ which may result in greater fluctuations in claim frequency and/or ~~severity.~~severity between quarters. In addition, Crusader’s reinsurance retention, which is relatively high in relationship to its net earned premium, can result in increased loss ratio volatility when large losses are incurred in a relatively short period of time. Nevertheless, management believes that its reinsurance retention is reasonable given the amount of Crusader’s surplus and its goal to minimize ceded premium.

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires estimation of certain liabilities, most significantly the liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses. Management makes its best estimate of the liability for these unpaid claims costs as of the end of each fiscal quarter. Due to the inherent uncertainties in estimating the Company’s unpaid claims costs, actual loss and loss adjustment expense payments are expected to vary, perhaps significantly, from any estimate made prior to the settling of all claims. Variability is inherent in establishing loss and loss adjustment expense reserves, especially for a small insurer ~~like~~such as Crusader. For any given line of insurance, accident year, or other group of claims, there is a continuum of possible loss and loss adjustment expense reserve estimates, each having its own unique degree of propriety or reasonableness. Due to the complexity and nature of the insurance claims process, there are potentially an infinite number of reasonably likely scenarios. Management draws on its collective experience to judgmentally determine its best estimate. In addition to applying a variety of standard actuarial methods to the data, an extensive series of diagnostic tests are applied to the resultant loss and loss adjustment expense reserve estimates to determine management’s best estimate of the unpaid claims liability. Among the statistics reviewed for each accident year are: loss and loss adjustment expense development patterns; frequencies; severities; and ratios of loss to premium, loss adjustment expense to premium, and loss adjustment expense to loss.

When there is clear evidence that the actual claims costs ~~that have~~ emerged are different than expected for any prior accident year, the claims cost estimates for that year are revised accordingly. If the claims costs that emerge are less favorable than initially anticipated, generally, the Company increases its loss and loss adjustment expense reserves immediately. However, if the claims costs that emerge are more favorable than initially anticipated, generally, the Company reduces its loss and loss adjustment expense reserves over time while it continues to assess the validity of the observed trends based on the subsequent emerged claim costs.

The establishment of loss and loss adjustment expense reserves is a detailed process as there are many factors that can ultimately affect the final settlement of a claim. Estimates are based on a variety of industry data and on the Company’s current and historical accident year claims data, including but not limited to reported claim counts, open claim counts, closed claim counts, closed claim counts with payments, paid losses, paid loss adjustment expenses, case loss reserves, case loss adjustment expense reserves, earned premiums and policy exposures, salvage and subrogation, and unallocated loss adjustment expenses paid. Many other factors, including changes in reinsurance, changes in pricing, changes in policy forms and coverage, changes in underwriting and risk selection, legislative changes, results of litigation and inflation are also taken into account.

~~28 of 32~~

At the end of each fiscal quarter, the Company’s loss and loss adjustment expense reserves for each accident year (i.e., for all claims incurred within each year) are re-evaluated independently by the Company’s president, the Company’s chief financial officer, and by an independent consulting actuary. Generally accepted actuarial methods, including the widely used Bornhuetter-Ferguson and loss development methods, are employed to estimate ultimate claims costs. An actuarial central estimate of the ultimate claims costs and ~~incurred but not reported losses~~IBNR reserves is ultimately determined by management and tested for reasonableness by the independent consulting actuary.

Policy acquisition costs

Policy acquisition costs consist of commissions, premium taxes, inspection fees, and certain other underwriting costs that are directly related to and vary with the successful production of Crusader insurance policies. These ~~policy acquisition~~ costs include both Crusader expenses and the allocated expenses of other Unico subsidiaries. Crusader's reinsurers pay Crusader a ceding commission, which is primarily a reimbursement of the acquisition cost related to the ceded premium. ~~Ceding commission is received on excess of loss ceded premium, and no~~No ceding commission is received on ceded premium associated with property facultative excess of loss or catastrophe ~~ceded premium.~~excess of loss reinsurance treaties. Policy acquisition costs, net of ceding commission, are deferred and amortized as the related premiums are earned. The Company annually reevaluates its ~~policy~~ acquisition costs to determine that costs related to successful policy acquisition are capitalized and deferred. These policy acquisition costs were approximately 23% and 20% of net earned premium for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to 22% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. The policy acquisition costs increased in the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016, due primarily to the $150,000 premium deficiency reserve. The policy acquisition costs decreased in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016, due primarily to lower commission expense as a result of the loss experience and higher ceding commission due to an increase in premiums written for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Income tax expense was $118,259 (36% of pre-tax income) for the three months ended September 30, ~~2017, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016,~~2019, and income tax benefit was ~~due primarily to lower costs incurred to review strategic alternatives and potential opportunities. The increase in other operating expenses~~$88,391 (11% of pre-tax loss) for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, compared to ~~the nine months ended September 30, 2016, is related primarily to fees associated with the California Department~~an income tax benefit of Insurance financial examination of Crusader and consulting expenses.
