NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March31,June 30, 2023

 

 

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND CONSOLIDATION

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by AmerInst Insurance Group, Ltd. (“AmerInst”) without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). These financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations as of the end of and for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation. These statements are condensed and do not incorporate all the information required under U.S. GAAP to be included in a full set of financial statements. In these notes, the terms “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company” refer to AmerInst and its subsidiaries. These condensed statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements at and for the year ended December 31, 2022 and notes thereto, included in AmerInst’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year then ended.

 

Going Concern

In accordance with ASC Subtopic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (“ASC 205-40”), the Company has the responsibility to evaluate whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about its ability to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. As required under ASC 205-40, management’s evaluation should initially not take into consideration the potential mitigating effects of management’s plans that have not been fully implemented as of the date the financial statements are issued.

In performing this evaluation, we concluded that under the standards of ASC 205-40 the Company’s continued erosion of unrestricted cash resources to fund operating expenses raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Protexure and Protexure Risk Purchasing Group, Inc. (“PRPG”), an Illinois corporation wholly owned by AmerInst Mezco, Ltd. have reached an agreement with MAC 43, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (The “Purchaser”), for the sale of substantially all of the assets of Protexure and PRPG (other than cash and certain excluded assets) to the Purchaser for an aggregate purchase price of $1.5 million payable in cash at the closing of the transaction (the “Asset Sale”). The closing of the Asset Sale is subject to, among other things, the approval of the shareholders of the Company. If the Asset Sale is consummated, we will have no significant assets other than cash, no sources of  revenue and expect to cease operations. We will not engage in any business activities except for dealing with post-closing matters, and then subject to further shareholder approval, liquidating our remaining assets, paying any debts and obligations, distributing the remaining proceeds, if any, to shareholders, and doing other acts required to voluntarily liquidate and wind up our business and affairs. The asset sale requires shareholder approval, therefore at this time managements plan is not deemed probable to mitigate the conditions that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of the uncertainty.

7. STOCK COMPENSATION

 

Phantom Shares:

 

Protexure has employment agreements with two key members of senior management, which grant them phantom shares of the Company. Under these agreements, these employees were initially granted an aggregate of 48,762 phantom shares of the Company on the date of their employment, subject to certain vesting requirements. The phantom shares are eligible for phantom dividends payable at the same rate as regular dividends on the Company’s common shares. The phantom dividends may be used only to purchase additional phantom shares with the purchase price of such phantom shares being the net book value of the Company’s actual common shares as of the end of the previous quarter. During the year, no phantom shares were granted.

 

For these two employees, the phantom shares initially granted, as well as any additional shares granted from dividends declared, vested on January 1, 2015. The liability payable to each of these employees under the phantom share agreements is equal to the value of the phantom shares based on the net book value of the Company’s actual common shares at the end of the previous quarter less the value of phantom shares initially granted and is payable in cash upon (i) the participant’s death, termination of employment due to disability, retirement at or after age 65 or resignation for good reason, (ii) termination of the participant by the Company without cause, (iii) termination by the participant without good reason or (iv) change in control of the Company.

 

The liability relating to these phantom shares is recalculated quarterly based on the net book value of our common shares at the end of each quarter. As a result of the overall decrease in the net book value of our common shares since the grant dates, we have not recorded any liability relating to these phantom shares at March 31,June 30, 2023.

Stock Option Plan:

 

The Company has a nonqualified stock option plan to advance the development, growth and financial condition of the Company. This plan provides incentives through participation in the appreciation of its common stock in order to secure, retain and motivate directors and employees and align such person’s interests with those of its shareholders. A total of 100,000 shares are authorized under the stock option plan.

Policies written by insurers other than C&F were not subject to the 50% quota share reinsurance to AMIC Ltd. The term of the Reinsurance Agreement was continuous and could be terminated by either party upon at least 120 days’ prior written notice to the other party.

Historical Relationship with CAMICO

 

From June 1, 2005 through May 31, 2009, we were a party to a reinsurance contract with CAMICO Mutual Insurance Company (“CAMICO”), a California-based writer of accountants’ professional liability business.

During the first quarter of 2022, CAMICO and AMIC Ltd. entered into the CAMICO Commutation Agreement, which became effective December 31, 2021, whereby CAMICO and AMIC Ltd. agreed to fully and finally settle and commute all their respective past, present and future obligations and liabilities, known and unknown under the reinsurance contract between CAMICO and AMIC Ltd.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Our cash inflows consist of commission income generated by our operating subsidiary, Protexure. Our cash needs consist of (i) settling expenses and (ii) funding day-to-day operations. Our management expects that our unrestricted cash balance will be sufficient to meet our cash needs and fund our day-to-day operations over the next twelve-month period.The Company is currently in discussions for the potential sale of the assets of Protexure. The proceeds of the sale would flow to the Company.  In the event of the successful completion of such discussions and subject to shareholder approval, Protexure would cease business operations and it and the Company would be placed into liquidation with a potential cash distribution being made to shareholders. Should these discussions fail, the Company may need to explore less advantageous strategic alternatives.
