REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Universal Insurance Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Fort Lauderdale, Florida

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Universal Insurance Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2011 and the related condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

UNIVERSAL INSURANCE HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

1. Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

Nature of Operations

Universal Insurance Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation originally incorporated as Universal Heights, Inc. in November 1990. The Company changed its name to Universal Insurance Holdings, Inc. on January 12, 2001. The Company is a vertically integrated insurance holding company performing all aspects of insurance underwriting, distribution and claims. Through its wholly owned subsidiaries, including Universal Property & Casualty Insurance Company (“UPCIC”), the Company is principally engaged in the property and casualty insurance business offered primarily through a network of independent agents. Risk from catastrophic losses is managed through the use of reinsurance agreements. The Company’s primary product is homeowners’ insurance currently offered in four states, including Florida, where a majority of the Company’s policies are in force. See

Note 5, Insurance Operations, for more information regarding the Company’s insurance operations.

The Company generates revenues primarily from the collection of premiums and the investment of those premiums. Other significant sources of revenue include commissions collected from reinsurers and policy fees.

Basis of Presentation

The Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“Financial Statements”) in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. Therefore, the Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2011. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2010 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the Financial Statements. The results for interim periods do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.

The Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

To conform to the current period presentation, certain amounts in the prior periods’ consolidated financial statements and notes have been reclassified. Such reclassifications were of an immaterial amount and had no effect on net income or stockholders’ equity.

Management must make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the Company’s Financial Statements and in disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The Company reported Significant Accounting Policies in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The following are new or revised disclosures or disclosures required on a quarterly basis.

Concentrations of Credit Risk. The Company is exposed to concentrations of credit risk, consisting principally of cash and cash equivalents, debt securities, premiums receivable and reinsurance recoverables.

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to cash on deposit are limited by the Company’s policy of investing excess cash with custodial institutions who invest primarily in money market accounts backed by the United States Government and United States Government agency securities with major national banks. These accounts are held by the Institutional Trust & Custody division of U.S. Bank, the Trust Department of SunTrust Bank and Bank of New York Trust Fund.

The Company maintains depository relationships with SunTrust Bank and Wachovia Bank, a division of Wells Fargo Bank N.A. It is the Company’s policy not to have a balance of more than $250 thousand for any of its affiliates at either institution on any given day to minimize exposure to a bank failure. Cash balances in excess of $250 thousand are transferred daily into custodial accounts with SunTrust Bank where cash is immediately invested into shares of Federated Treasury Obligations Money Market Funds.

Cash and cash equivalents consist of checking, repurchase, and money market accounts with carrying values as follows (in thousands):

(1)		Amounts held in trust include collateral contributed by the Company in connection with reinsurance contracts entered into between a segregated account owned and maintained by the Company and UPCIC. See Note 4 — Reinsurance for information about this arrangement.

All debt securities owned by the Company as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are direct obligations of the United States Treasury.

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to premiums receivable are limited due to the large number of individuals comprising the Company’s customer base. However, the majority of the Company’s revenues are currently derived from products and services offered to customers in Florida, which could be adversely affected by economic downturns, an increase in competition or other environmental changes.

In order to reduce credit risk for amounts due from reinsurers, UPCIC seeks to do business with financially sound reinsurance companies and regularly evaluate the financial strength of all reinsurers used. Everest Reinsurance Company, the reinsurer to which UPCIC cedes the largest volume of premium, has the following ratings from each of the rating agencies: A+ from A.M. Best Company, A+ from Standard and Poor’s Rating Services and Aa3 from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. UPCIC’s reinsurance portfolio contained the following authorized reinsurers that had unsecured recoverables for paid and unpaid losses, including incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) reserves, loss adjustment expenses and unearned premiums whose aggregate balance exceeded 3% of UPCIC’s statutory surplus (in thousands):

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB “) issued new accounting guidance which expands disclosure requirements relating to fair value measurements. The guidance adds requirements for disclosing amounts of and reasons for significant transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 and requires gross rather than net disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements. The guidance also provides clarification that fair value measurement disclosures are required for each class of assets and liabilities. Disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3 are also required. The Company adopted the provisions of the new guidance as of March 31, 2010 except for disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, which were adopted as of January 1, 2011. Disclosures are not required for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes. The new guidance affects disclosures only; and therefore, the adoption had no impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

4. Reinsurance

UPCIC seeks to reduce the risk of loss by reinsuring certain levels of risk in various areas of exposure with other insurance enterprises or reinsurers, generally, as of the beginning of the hurricane season on June 1 of each year. UPCIC’s reinsurance program consists of excess of loss, quota share and catastrophe reinsurance, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable agreements. UPCIC is responsible for insured losses related to catastrophes and other events in excess of coverage provided by its reinsurance program. UPCIC also remains responsible for the settlement of insured losses notwithstanding the failure of any of its reinsurers to make payments otherwise due to UPCIC.

UPCIC’s in-force policyholder coverage for windstorm exposures as of June 30, 2011 was approximately $128 billion.

Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with the reinsurance contracts. Reinsurance premiums, losses and loss adjustment expenses (“LAE”) are accounted for on a basis consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts. Reinsurance ceding commissions received are deferred and netted against policy acquisition costs and amortized over the effective period of the related insurance policies.

Segregated Account T25

The Company owns and maintains a segregated account, Segregated Account T25 — Universal Insurance Holdings of White Rock Insurance (SAC) Ltd. (“T25”) established by a third-party reinsurer in accordance with Bermuda law. T25 enters into underlying excess catastrophe contracts with UPCIC for the purpose of assuming the risk of certain policies issued by UPCIC, covering certain loss occurrences including hurricanes. The Company secures the obligations of T25 to UPCIC under these contracts by contributing the amount of T25’s liability for losses, net of UPCIC’s required premium payments, to a trust account as collateral. The collateral will be used to pay any claims that may arise in the event of the occurrence of covered events. Transactions related to this arrangement are eliminated in consolidation, however, and the amount of collateral is held in trust for the benefit of UPCIC until the occurrence of a covered event, expiration or termination of the agreement between T25 and UPCIC.

On May 31, 2011, T25 and UPCIC mutually agreed to a Commutation and Settlement Agreement related to the underlying Property Catastrophe Excess of Loss Reinsurance Contract that was effective January 1, 2011. A replacement contract was entered into between the parties on June 1, 2011 as part of UPCIC’s reinsurance program in effect for the period June 1, 2011, through May 31, 2012. In conjunction with entering into the replacement contract, the Company contributed additional funds to T25 due to the increased reinsurance coverage and collateral requirements. The amount of collateral in the trust account at June 30, 2011 was $31 million.

5. Insurance Operations

Regulatory Requirements

The Company’s regulated subsidiaries, UPCIC and American Platinum Property and Casualty Insurance Company (“APPCIC”), are subject to regulations and standards of the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (“OIR”). These standards require the subsidiaries to maintain specified levels of statutory capital and restrict the timing and amount of dividends and other distributions that may be paid to the Company. Except in the case of extraordinary dividends, these standards generally permit dividends to be paid from statutory unassigned surplus of the regulated subsidiary and are limited based on the regulated subsidiary’s level of statutory net income and statutory capital and surplus. These dividends are referred to as “ordinary dividends” and generally can be paid without prior regulatory approval. If the dividend, together with other dividends paid within the preceding twelve months, exceeds a specified statutory limit or is paid from sources other than earned surplus, the entire dividend is generally considered an “extraordinary dividend” and must receive prior regulatory approval.

In 2011, based on the 2010 statutory net income and statutory capital and surplus levels, the maximum amount of ordinary dividends which could be paid is $2.5 million from UPCIC and $1.2 million from APPCIC. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, no dividends were paid from UPCIC or APPCIC to the Company.

The Florida Insurance Code requires companies to maintain capitalization equivalent to the greater of ten percent of the insurer’s total liabilities or $5.0 million. Ten percent of UPCIC’s total liabilities were $42.5 million and $32.9 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010,

respectively. Ten percent of APPCIC’s total liabilities were $84 thousand and $83 thousand at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. UPCIC’s statutory capital and surplus was $108.6 million and $115.9 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. APPCIC’s statutory capital and surplus was $10.7 million and $11.3 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. At such dates, both UPCIC and APPCIC met the Florida capitalization requirement. UPCIC and APPCIC are also required to adhere to prescribed premium-to-capital surplus ratio and have met those requirements at such dates.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

Employment Agreements

The Company has employment agreements with certain employees which are in effect as of June 30, 2011. The agreements provide for minimum salaries, which may be subject to annual percentage increases, and non-equity incentive compensation for certain executives based on pre-tax or net income levels attained by the Company. The agreements also provide for payments contingent upon the occurrence of certain events. The following table provides the amount of commitments and contingent payments the Company is obligated to pay in the form of salaries and non-equity incentive compensation under these agreements (in thousands):


	As of June 30, 2011
			Non-equity

Change in control	$	14,445	$	9,354
Death	$	8,610	$	8,672
Disability	$	5,149	$	3,303

Operating Leases

The Company has leases for certain computer equipment, software and office space. The Company reported in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 a schedule of future minimum rental payments required under the non-cancelable operating leases.

Litigation

Certain lawsuits have been filed against the Company. These lawsuits involve matters that are routine litigation incidental to the claims aspect of the Company’s business for which estimated losses are included in Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. In the opinion of management, these lawsuits are not material individually or in the aggregate to the Company’s financial position. Accruals made or assessments of materiality of disclosure related to probable or possible losses do not consider any anticipated insurance proceeds.

13. Fair Value Measurements

GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. GAAP describes three approaches to measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities: the market approach, the income approach and the cost approach. Each approach includes multiple valuation techniques. GAAP does not prescribe which valuation technique should be used when measuring fair value, but does establish a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in applying the various techniques. Inputs broadly refer to the assumptions that market participants use to make pricing decisions, including assumptions about risk. Level 1inputs are given the highest priority in the hierarchy while Level 3 inputs are given the lowest priority. Assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified in one of the following three categories based on the nature of the inputs to the valuation technique used:

•		Level 1 — Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

•		Level 2 — Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

•		Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. These inputs reflect management’s best estimate of fair value using its own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Summary of significant valuation techniques for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis

Level 1

Cash equivalents: Comprise actively traded money market funds that have daily quoted net asset values for identical assets that the Company can access.

U.S. government obligations and agencies: Comprise U.S. Treasury Notes. Valuation is based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets that the Company can access.

Common stock: Comprise actively traded, exchange-listed U.S. and international equity securities. Valuation is based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets that the Company can access.

Exchange traded and mutual funds: Comprise actively traded funds. Valuation is based on daily quoted net asset values for identical assets in active markets that the Company can access.

Level 2

U.S. government obligations and agencies: Comprise U.S. Treasury Inflation Index Bonds. The primary inputs to the valuation include quoted prices for identical assets in inactive markets or similar assets in active or inactive markets, contractual cash flows, benchmark yields and credit spreads.

Exchange-traded derivatives : The primary inputs to the valuation include quoted prices or quoted net asset values for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active.

As required by GAAP, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

The following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s assets that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 (in thousands):

The following table summarizes the carrying value, net unrealized gains (losses) and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments that are not carried at fair value (in thousands).

	$	23,162	$	(4,063	)	$	19,099

The carrying value of cash approximates fair value due to its liquid nature.

The carrying value of long term debt was determined from the expected cash flows discounted using the interest rate quoted by the issuer of the note, the State Board of Administration of Florida (“SBA”) which is below prevailing rates quoted by private lending institutions. However, as the Company’s use of funds from the surplus note is limited by the terms of the agreement, the Company has determined the interest rate quoted by the SBA to be appropriate for purposes of establishing the fair value of the note.

14. Subsequent Events

The Company performed an evaluation of subsequent events through the date the Financial Statements were issued and determined there were no recognized or unrecognized subsequent events that would require an adjustment or additional disclosure in the Financial Statements as of June 30, 2011.

Overview

We are a vertically integrated insurance holding company performing all aspects of insurance underwriting, distribution and claims. Through our wholly owned subsidiaries, including Universal Property & Casualty Insurance Company (“UPCIC”), we are principally engaged in the property and casualty insurance business offered primarily through a network of independent agents. Our primary product is homeowners’ insurance currently offered in four states, including the State of Florida, which represented 98% of the 591 thousand policies-in-force as of June 30, 2011 and 98% of the 584 thousand policies-in-force as of December 31, 2010. As for the geographic distribution of business within Florida as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, 32% of the policies-in-force are in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties. Risk from catastrophic losses is managed through the use of reinsurance agreements.

We generate revenues primarily from the collection of premiums and the investment of those premiums. Other significant sources of revenue include commissions collected from reinsurers and policy fees.

Recent Developments

UPCIC filed a premium rate change for homeowners’ insurance programs with the Florida Office of Insurance Regulators (“OIR”) on November 5, 2010. The rate increase, which will result in an average rate increase of approximately 14.9 percent statewide, was approved by the OIR on February 3, 2011. The effective dates for the rate increase are February 7, 2011 for new business and March 28, 2011 for renewal business. We expect the approved premium rate increases to have a positive effect on premiums written and earned in future months as new and renewal policies are written at the higher rates.

On January 6, 2011, we declared a dividend of $0.10 per share on our outstanding common stock to be paid on April 7, 2011 to our shareholders of record at the close of business on March 11, 2011.

During the second quarter, American Platinum Property and Casualty Insurance Company (“APPCIC,”) received approval of its rate filing from the OIR. APPCIC intends to write homeowners’ multi-peril and inland marine insurance on Florida homes valued in excess of $1 million, which are limits and coverages currently not targeted by UPCIC.

During the second quarter, UPCIC completed its 2011-2012 reinsurance program effective June 1, 2011. The following is a description of that program.

2011-2012 Reinsurance Program

Quota Share

Effective June 1, 2011 through May 31, 2012, UPCIC entered into a quota share reinsurance contract with Everest Re. Everest Re has the following ratings from each of the rating agencies: A+ from A.M. Best Company, A+ from Standard and Poor’s Rating Services and Aa3 from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. Under the quota share contract, UPCIC cedes 50% of its gross written premiums, losses and loss adjustment expenses (“LAE”) for policies with coverage for wind risk with a ceding commission equal to 25% of ceded gross written premiums. In addition, the quota share contract has a limitation for any one occurrence not to exceed $34.8 million (of which UPCIC’s net liability on the first $34.8 million of losses in a first event scenario is $17.4 million, in a second event scenario is $17.4 million and in a third event scenario is $30 million) and a limitation from losses arising out of events that are assigned a catastrophe serial number by the Property Claims Services (“PCS”) office not to exceed $69.6 million. The contract requires UPCIC to reassume 100% of the attritional loss and LAE activity from 30% to 37.5% of gross written premium and has a limitation for LAE not to exceed 30% of indemnity losses paid during the contract period. Further, the contract limits the amount of premium which can be deducted for inuring reinsurance to $288 million, excluding reinstatement premiums, or $326 million, including reinstatement premiums, if any.

Excess Per Risk

Effective June 1, 2011 through May 31, 2012, UPCIC entered into a multiple line excess per risk contract with various reinsurers. Under the multiple line excess per risk contract, UPCIC obtained coverage of $1.4 million in excess of $600 thousand ultimate net loss for each risk and each property loss, and $1 million in excess of $300 thousand for each casualty loss. A $7 million aggregate limit applies to the term of the contract.

Effective June 1, 2011 through May 31, 2012, UPCIC entered into a property per risk excess contract covering ex-wind only policies. Under the property per risk excess contract, UPCIC obtained coverage of $400 thousand in excess of $200 thousand for each property loss. A $2 million aggregate limit applies to the term of the contract.

The total cost of our multiple line excess reinsurance program effective June 1, 2011 through May 31, 2012 is $4,000,000 of which our cost is 50%, or $2,000,000, and the quota share reinsurers’ cost is the remaining 50%. The total cost of our property per risk reinsurance program effective June 1, 2011 through May 31, 2012 is $575,000.

Excess Catastrophe

Effective June 1, 2011 through May 31, 2012, under excess catastrophe contracts, UPCIC obtained catastrophe coverage of $541.3 million in excess of $185 million covering certain loss occurrences

including hurricanes. The coverage of $541.3 million in excess of $185 million has a second full limit available to UPCIC. Additional premium is calculated pro rata as to amount and 100% as to time, as applicable.

Effective June 1, 2011 through May 31, 2012, UPCIC purchased reinstatement premium protection which reimburses UPCIC for its cost to reinstate the catastrophe coverage of the first $399.3 million (part of $541.3 million) in excess of $185 million.

Effective June 1, 2011 through May 31, 2012, under an excess catastrophe contract specifically covering risks located in Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina, UPCIC obtained catastrophe coverage of 50% of $24.8 million in excess of $10 million and 100% of $20 million in excess of $34.8 million covering certain loss occurrences including hurricanes. Both coverages have a second full limit available to UPCIC. Additional premium is calculated pro rata as to amount and 100% as to time, as applicable. The cost of UPCIC’s excess catastrophe contracts specifically covering risks in Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina is $3.9 million.

Effective June 1, 2011 through May 31, 2012, UPCIC also obtained subsequent catastrophe event excess of loss reinsurance to cover certain levels of UPCIC’s net retention through three catastrophe events including hurricanes, as follows:


	2 ^nd Event			3 ^rd Event
Coverage	$140,200,000 in excess of $44,800,000 each loss occurrence subject to an otherwise recoverable amount of $140,200,000 (placed 100%)			$155,000,000 in excess of $30,000,000 each loss occurrence subject to an otherwise recoverable amount of $310,000,000 (placed 100%)

Deposit premium (100%)	$	27,759,600		$	11,935,000

Minimum premium (100%)	$	22,207,680		$	9,548,000

Premium rate -% of total insured value		0.021863	%		0.009400	%

UPCIC also obtained coverage from the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund (“FHCF”), which is administered by the Florida State Board of Administration (“SBA”). Under the reimbursement agreement, the FHCF would reimburse UPCIC, for each loss occurrence during the contract year, for 90% of the ultimate loss paid by UPCIC in excess of its retention plus 5% of the reimbursed losses to cover loss adjustment expenses, subject to an aggregate contract limit. A covered event means any one storm declared to be a hurricane by the National Hurricane Center for losses incurred in Florida, both while it is a hurricane and through subsequent downgrades. For the contract year June 1, 2011 to May 31, 2012, UPCIC purchased the traditional FHCF coverage and did not purchase the Temporary Increase in

Coverage Limit Option offered to insurers by the FHCF. UPCIC’s initial estimate of its traditional FHCF coverage is 90% of $1.193 billion in excess of $465 million. The estimated premium for this coverage is $74,600,526. The final amount of UPCIC’s traditional FHCF coverage for the contract year will be determined by the FHCF based upon UPCIC’s exposures in-force as of June 30, 2011, as reported by UPCIC to the FHCF by September 1, 2011.

Also at June 1, 2011, the FHCF made available, and UPCIC obtained, $10,000,000 of additional catastrophe excess of loss coverage with one free reinstatement of coverage to carriers qualified as Limited Apportionment Companies or companies that participated in the Insurance Capital Build-Up Incentive (“ICBUI”) Program offered by the FHCF, such as UPCIC. This particular layer of coverage at June 1, 2011 is $10,000,000 in excess of $34,800,000. The premium for this coverage is $5,000,000.

On May 27, 2011, the SBA published its most recent estimate of the FHCF’s loss reimbursement capacity in the Florida Administrative Weekly . The SBA estimated that the FHCF’s total loss reimbursement capacity under current market conditions for the 2011 — 2012 contract year is projected to be $18.551 billion over the 12-month period following the estimate. The SBA also referred to its report entitled, “May 2011 Estimated Claims Paying Capacity Report” (“Report”) as providing greater detail regarding the FHCF’s loss reimbursement capacity. The Report estimated that the FHCF’s loss reimbursement capacity range is $18.25 billion — $20.25 billion. UPCIC elected to purchase the FHCF Mandatory Layer of Coverage for the 2011 — 2012 contract year, which corresponds to FHCF loss reimbursement capacity of $17 billion. By law, the FHCF’s obligation to reimburse insurers is limited to its actual claims-paying capacity. The aggregate cost of UPCIC’s reinsurance program may increase should UPCIC deem it necessary to purchase additional private market reinsurance due to reduced estimates of the FHCF’s loss reimbursement capacity.

The total cost of UPCIC’s multiple line excess and property per risk reinsurance program effective June 1, 2011 through May 31, 2012 is $4.575 million, of which UPCIC’s cost is $2.575 million, and the quota share reinsurer’s cost is the remaining $2 million. The total cost of UPCIC’s underlying excess catastrophe contract with T25 (see below) is $111.4 million, subject to a potential return premium of $83.4 million, which is eliminated in consolidation. The total cost of UPCIC’s private catastrophe reinsurance program effective June 1, 2011 through May 31, 2012 is $135.8 million, of which UPCIC’s cost is 50%, or $67.9 million, and the quota share reinsurer’s cost is the remaining 50%. In addition, UPCIC purchases reinstatement premium protection as described above, the cost of which is $22.4 million. UPCIC’s cost of the subsequent catastrophe event excess of loss reinsurance is $19.8 million. The estimated premium that UPCIC plans to cede to the FHCF for the 2011 hurricane season is $74.6 million of which UPCIC’s cost is 50%, or $37.3 million, and the quota share reinsurer’s cost is the remaining 50%. UPCIC is also participating in the additional coverage option for Limited Apportionment Companies or companies that participated in the Insurance Capital Build-Up Incentive Program offered by the FHCF, the premium for which is $5 million, of which UPCIC’s cost is 50%, or $2.5 million, and the quota share reinsurer’s cost is the remaining 50%.

UPCIC is responsible for losses related to catastrophic events with incurred losses in excess of coverage provided by UPCIC’s reinsurance program and for losses that otherwise are not covered by the reinsurance program, which could have a material adverse effect on UPCIC’s and our business, financial condition and results of operations. UPCIC’s private market reinsurance costs are subject to increases or decreases if changes in its earned premiums or the total insured value under its in-force policies as of August 31, 2011, are outside of ranges specified in certain of its reinsurance contracts.

UPCIC estimates based upon its in-force exposures as of June 1, 2011, it had coverage to approximately the 125-year Probable Maximum Loss (PML), modeled using AIR CLASIC/2 v.11.0, long term, without demand surge. Recently, AIR updated its catastrophe model and outlook of risk with the release of its new version, AIR CLASIC/2 v12.04. UPCIC estimates, based on its in-force exposures as of June 1, 2011, that it had coverage to approximately the 88-year PML, modeled using AIR CLASIC/2 v.12.04, long term, without demand surge. Additionally, from time to time, UPCIC uses estimates from other catastrophe modeling vendors to estimate its PML. UPCIC estimates based upon its in-force exposures as of June 1, 2011, that it had coverage to approximately the 129-year PML, modeled using RMS’s new release of its RiskLink model, v11, long term, without loss amplification. PML is a general concept applied in the insurance industry for defining high loss scenarios that should be considered when underwriting insurance risk. Catastrophe models produce loss estimates that are qualified in terms of dollars and probabilities. Probability of exceedance or the probability that the actual loss level will exceed a particular threshold is a standard catastrophe model output. For example, the 100-year PML represents a 1.00% Annual Probability of Exceedance (the 125-year, 88-year and 129-year PML represents a 0.80%, 1.14% and 0.78% Annual Probability of Exceedance, respectively, for AIR v11.0, AIR v12.04 and RMS v11). It is estimated that the 100-year PML is likely to be equaled or exceeded in one year out of 100 on average, or 1 percent of the time. It is the 99th percentile of the annual loss distribution.

UPCIC limits the maximum net loss that can arise from large risks or risks in concentrated areas of exposure by reinsuring (ceding) certain levels of risks with other insurers or reinsurers on an automatic basis under reinsurance contracts. The reinsurance arrangements are intended to provide UPCIC with the ability to limit its exposure to losses within its capital resources. Such reinsurance includes quota share, excess of loss and catastrophe forms of reinsurance. UPCIC submits the reinsurance program for regulatory review to the OIR.

Other than the changes in operating assets and liabilities described in the Analysis of Financial Condition contained herein, the implementation of the 2011-2012 reinsurance program did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements for the second quarter of 2011, nor did any such impact differ materially from the impact of the 2010-2011 reinsurance program on the Consolidated Financial Statements for the second quarter of 2010. However, there could be a material adverse impact on our Financial Statements in the event of catastrophic losses in the future. With the implementation of our 2011-2012 reinsurance program, we retained a maximum, pre-tax net liability of $157.6 million for the first catastrophic event up to $1.8 billion of losses. Refer to the table on page 29 for information with respect to subsequent catastrophic events coverage. If catastrophic losses result in a net operating loss for the 2011 tax year, we can carry back the net operating loss to the 2010 and 2009 tax years and recover all, or a portion of, income taxes paid in those years.

In addition to coverage obtained by UPCIC under the reinsurance programs, the ultimate parent of UPCIC obtained $60,000,000 of coverage via a catastrophe risk-linked transaction contract, effective June 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011, in the event UPCIC’s catastrophe coverage is exhausted. The total cost of the risk-linked transaction contract is $8,662,500.

Segregated Account T25

Universal Insurance Holdings Inc. owns and maintains a segregated account, Segregated Account T25 - Universal Insurance Holdings of White Rock Insurance (SAC) Ltd. (“T25”) established by a third-party reinsurer in accordance with Bermuda law. T25 enters into underlying excess catastrophe contracts with UPCIC for the purpose of assuming the risk of certain policies issued by UPCIC, covering certain loss occurrences including hurricanes. Universal Insurance Holdings Inc. secures the obligations of T25 to UPCIC under these contracts by contributing the amount of T25’s liability for losses, net of UPCIC’s required premium payments, to a trust account as collateral. The collateral will be used to pay any claims that may arise in the event of the occurrence of covered events. Transactions related to this arrangement are eliminated in consolidation; however, the amount of collateral is held in trust for the benefit of UPCIC until the occurrence of a covered event, expiration or termination of the agreement between T25 and UPCIC.

On May 31, 2011, T25 and UPCIC mutually agreed to a Commutation and Settlement Agreement related to the underlying Property Catastrophe Excess of Loss Reinsurance Contract that was effective January 1, 2011. A replacement contract was entered into between the parties on June 1, 2011 as part of UPCIC’s reinsurance program in effect for the period June 1, 2011, through May 31, 2012. In conjunction with entering into the replacement contract, Universal Insurance Holdings Inc. contributed additional funds to T25 due to the increased reinsurance coverage and collateral requirements. The amount of collateral in the trust account at June 30, 2011 was $31 million.

NET INCOME	$	7,549		$	10,767		$	(3,218	)		-29.9	%

The increase in net earned premiums of $8.2 million, or 19.7% was due to an increase in the number of policies written generated by our agent network and rate increases which became effective in February 2011 as well as those that became effective in the latter part of 2009. These rate increases have had a positive effect on premium generated by renewal policies. The benefit from these factors was partially offset by an increase in the number of policies-in-force eligible for wind mitigation credits.

The following table reflects the effect of wind mitigation credits received by UPCIC policyholders (in thousands):

Net unrealized losses on investments of $9.6 million recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2011 reflect the net decrease in value of investment securities held in our trading portfolio as of June 30, 2011. We will continue to record future changes in the market value of our trading portfolio directly to earnings as unrealized gains and losses on investments. During 2010, management evaluated the trading activity of our investment portfolio, investing strategy, and overall investment program. As a result of this evaluation, we reclassified the available-for-sale portfolio as a trading portfolio effective July 1, 2010. Since July 1, 2010, changes in the market value of our trading portfolio are recorded directly to revenues as unrealized gains or losses on investments. In previous periods, the changes in unrealized gains and losses on the available-for-sale portfolio were appropriately included in Other Comprehensive Income rather than current period income.

Commission revenue is comprised principally of reinsurance commission sharing agreements. The increase in commission revenue of $697 thousand is due to an increase in the amount of ceded premiums.

The increase in other revenues of $490 thousand is primarily due to a higher volume of policyholders participating in our installment payment plan program offered by UPCIC.

The increase in net losses and LAE of $1 million was primarily related to the servicing of additional policies due to the growth in policy count on a year-over-year basis.

The net loss and LAE ratios, or net losses and LAE as a percentage of net earned premiums, were 52.2% and 60.0% during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and were comprised of the following components (in thousands):


	Three months ended June 30, 2011
	Direct			Ceded			Net
Loss and loss adjustment expenses	$	53,360		$	27,508		$	25,852
Premiums earned	$	170,134		$	120,610		$	49,524
Loss & LAE ratios		31.4	%		22.8	%		52.2	%


	Three months ended June 30, 2010
	Direct			Ceded			Net
Loss and loss adjustment expenses	$	50,345		$	25,510		$	24,835
Premiums earned	$	150,600		$	109,240		$	41,360
Loss & LAE ratios		33.4	%		23.4	%		60.0	%

The reduction in the direct loss and LAE ratio reflects an increase in earned premiums and favorable loss experience.

General and administrative expenses increased by $1.3 million due to an increase in the amortization of deferred acquisition costs of $710 thousand and an increase in other general administrative expenses of $600 thousand. The increase in amortization of deferred acquisition costs is primarily in response to an increase in commissions paid on direct premium and the associated premium taxes thereon. Commissions and premium taxes are directly related to the volume of direct premium. As noted previously, direct written premium has increased by $5.5 million in response to an increase in the number of policies-in-force and the increase in in-force premium per policy. Increased expenses of $3.1 million were partially offset by an increase in ceding commissions of $2.4 million. The increase in other general administrative expenses includes increases related to Florida Insurance Guarantee Association assessments of $1.4 million, legal fees of $243 thousand due to corporate planning matters, and interest expense of $112 thousand, offset by decreases in stock-based compensation of $686 thousand, performance bonuses of $440 thousand and equipment expenses of $119 thousand.

Income tax expense decreased by $1.3 million as a result of a $4.5 million decrease in taxable income. Our effective tax rate increased to 42.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from 38.9% for the same period in the prior year to primarily as a result of estimated penalties and interest recorded during the second quarter of 2011 from the underpayment of federal and state income taxes. We have limited our payments of estimated income taxes during 2011 due to the uncertainty of potential losses during the current hurricane season and the effect of those potential losses on pre-tax earnings and our ultimate income tax liability for the year.

The decrease in net income of $3.2 million is primarily attributable to the performance of the trading portfolio partially offset by benefits derived from an increase in the number of policies-in-force during the three-month period ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010, and an improvement in loss experience.

Results of Operations — Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2010

NET INCOME	$	21,447		$	17,711		$	3,736			21.1	%

The increase in net earned premiums of $22.9 million, or 30.6% was due to an increase in the number of policies written generated by our agent network and rate increases which became effective in February 2011, as well as those that became effective in the latter part of 2009. These rate increases have had a positive effect on premiums generated by renewal policies. This benefit was partially offset by an increase in the number of policies-in-force eligible for, and receiving wind mitigation credits. See “Results of Operations — Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2010” for a table reflecting the effect of wind mitigation credits received by UPCIC policyholders.

Net unrealized losses reflect a reduction in market value of investment securities held in the trading portfolio at June 30, 2011. We will continue to record future changes in the market value of our trading portfolio directly to earnings as unrealized gains and losses on investments. All investment securities held at June 30, 2010 were classified as available for sale with net unrealized losses reflected in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition.

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded $2.4 million of other than temporary losses for certain securities that were available for sale. Effective July 1, 2010, we transferred all securities classified as available for sale to the trading portfolio and recognized all unrealized gains and losses in earnings thereafter.

The decrease of $738 thousand in foreign currency gains from $809 thousand to $71 thousand is due primarily to a lower volume of investment securities denominated in foreign currencies.

The increase in other revenues of $894 thousand is due primarily to a higher volume of policyholders participating in our installment payment plan program offered by UPCIC.

The increase in net losses and LAE of $3.6 million, or 7.3%, was primarily related to the servicing of additional policies due to the growth in policy count on a year-over-year basis.

The net loss and LAE ratios, or net losses and LAE as a percentage of net earned premiums, were 53.4% and 64.9% during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and were comprised of the following components (in thousands):


	Six months ended June 30, 2011
	Direct			Ceded			Net
Loss and loss adjustment expenses	$	106,491		$	54,454		$	52,037
Premiums earned	$	334,721		$	237,193		$	97,528
Loss & LAE ratios		31.8	%		23.0	%		53.4	%


	Six months ended June 30, 2010
	Direct			Ceded			Net
Loss and loss adjustment expenses	$	97,026		$	48,539		$	48,487
Premiums earned	$	290,754		$	216,080		$	74,674
Loss & LAE ratios		33.4	%		22.5	%		64.9	%

The improvement in the direct loss and LAE ratio for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in the prior year, was the result of an increase in earned premiums and favorable loss experience.

General and administrative expenses increased by $6.2 million due to an increase in the amortization of deferred acquisition costs of $2.8 million and an increase in other general administrative expenses of $3.4 million. The increase in amortization of deferred acquisition costs is primarily in response to an increase in commissions paid on direct premium and the associated premium taxes thereon. Commissions and premium taxes are directly related to the volume of direct premium. As noted previously, direct written premium has increased by $18.5 million in response to an increase in the number of policies-in-force and the increase in in-force premium per policy. Increased expenses of $8.2 million were partially offset by an increase in ceding commissions of $5.4 million. The increase in other general and administrative expenses includes increases related to Florida Insurance Guarantee Association assessments of $1.3 million, legal fees of $584 thousand due to corporate planning matters, performance bonuses of $408 thousand, and insurance of $169 thousand.

Income taxes increased by $3.4 million, or 30.5% primarily as a result of an increase in pre-tax income. The effective tax rate increased to 40.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from 39.0% for the same period in the prior year primarily as a result of estimated penalties and interest recorded in the second quarter of 2011 from the underpayment of federal and state income taxes. We have limited our payments of estimated income taxes during 2011 due to the uncertainty of potential losses during the current hurricane season and the effect of those potential losses on pre-tax earnings and our ultimate income tax liability for the year.

The increase in net income of $3.7 million, or 21.1%, is primarily attributable to the increase in net premiums earned, partially offset by losses incurred in the investment securities trading portfolio.

Analysis of Financial Condition — As of June 30, 2011 Compared to December 31, 2010

We believe that premiums will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for at least the next twelve months.

Our policy is to invest amounts considered to be in excess of current working capital requirements. We reduced our aggregate investment securities to $95.9 million as of June 30, 2011 from $224.5 million as of December 31, 2010 in response to market conditions. We have a receivable of $20.5 million at June 30, 2011 for securities sold that have not yet settled compared to $17.6 million at December 31, 2010.

The following table summarizes, by type, the carrying values of investments (in thousands):


	As of June 30,		As of December 31,
Type of Investment	2011		2010
Cash and cash equivalents	$	356,739	$	147,585
Debt securities		3,595		130,116
Equity securities		92,350		94,416
Non-hedge derivatives		739		182

Total Investments	$	453,423	$	372,299

Prepaid reinsurance premiums represent ceded unearned premiums related to our catastrophe and quota share reinsurance programs. The increase of $32.5 million to $253.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011 was primarily due to an increase in prepaid reinsurance premiums for catastrophe reinsurance coverage, as previously described in Recent Developments, 2011-2012 Reinsurance Program, and an increase in quota share reinsurance premiums commensurate with the increase in direct written premium. Premiums for catastrophe reinsurance coverage are earned over the respective contract periods which are generally effective from June 1, 2011 through May 31, 2012.

Premiums receivable represent amounts due from policyholders. The increase of $8.4 million to $52 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011 was due to the growth in direct written premiums and an increase in the number of policyholders participating in the installment payment plan program offered by UPCIC.

Unearned premiums represent the portion of written premiums that will be earned pro rata in the future. The increase of $51.9 million to $380.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011 was due to growth in, and timing of, direct written premiums.

Advance premiums represent premiums paid prior to the date they are contractually due. The increase of $6.0 million to $25.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011 was due to an increase in aggregate collections from policyholders on renewal policies with effective dates after the balance sheet date.

Reinsurance payable, net, represents our liability to reinsurers for ceded written premiums, net of ceding commissions and inuring premiums receivable. The increase of $54.6 million to $92.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011 was primarily due to the timing of settlements with reinsurers and amounts not yet due to reinsurers for catastrophe reinsurance coverage, as previously described in Recent Developments, 2011-2012 Reinsurance Program.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Liquidity is a measure of a company’s ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet its short and long-term obligations.

The balance of cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2011 was $356.7 million compared to $147.6 million at December 31, 2010. Most of this amount is available to pay claims in the event of a catastrophic event pending reimbursement amounts recoverable under reinsurance agreements. The source of liquidity for possible claim payments consists of the collection of net premiums after deductions for expenses, reinsurance recoverables and short-term loans.

We hold collateral in a trust account for the benefit of UPCIC until the occurrence of a covered event, expiration or termination of the agreement between T25 and UPCIC. The amount of collateral in the trust account at June 30, 2011 was $31 million.

The Company’s liquidity requirements primarily include potential payments of catastrophe loses, the payment of dividends to shareholders, and interest and principal payments on debt obligations. The declaration and payment of future dividends to shareholders will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon many factors, including our operating results, financial condition, capital requirements and any regulatory constraints.

Our insurance operations provide liquidity in that premiums are generally received months or even years before losses are paid under the policies sold. Historically, cash receipts from operations, consisting of insurance premiums, commissions, policy fees and investment income, have provided more than sufficient funds to pay loss claims and operating expenses. We maintain substantial investments in highly liquid, marketable securities. Liquidity can also be generated by funds received upon the sale of marketable securities in our investment portfolio.

Effective July 1, 2010, we elected to classify our securities investment portfolio as trading. Accordingly, purchases and sales of investment securities are included in cash flows from operations beginning July 1, 2010. We generated $215.2 million in cash from operations during the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $97 million of cash generated by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The generation of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2011 reflects proceeds from sales of investment securities, net of purchases of $126.5 million.

UPCIC is responsible for losses related to catastrophic events with incurred losses in excess of coverage provided by UPCIC’s reinsurance programs and for losses that otherwise are not covered by the reinsurance programs, which could have a material adverse effect on UPCIC’s and our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity (see Note 4 for a discussion of the 2011-2012 reinsurance program and Note 3 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of Form 10-K for the Year Ended December 31, 2010 for a discussion of the 2008-2009, 2009-2010, and 2010-2011 reinsurance programs).

Funds generated from operations have generally been sufficient to meet liquidity requirements and we expect that in the future funds from operations will continue to meet such requirements. There can be no assurances, however, that this will be the case.

Capital Resources

Capital resources provide protection for policyholders, furnish the financial strength to support the business of underwriting insurance risks and facilitate continued business growth. At June 30, 2011, we had total capital of $180.6 million comprised of shareholders’ equity of $158.2 million and total debt of

$22.4 million. Our debt-to-total-capital ratio and debt-to-equity ratio were 12.4% and 14.1%, respectively, at June 30, 2011.

At June 30, 2011, UPCIC was in compliance with all of covenants under its surplus note and its total adjusted capital was in excess of regulatory requirements.

Cash Dividends

On January 6, 2011, we declared a dividend of $0.10 per share on our outstanding common stock to be paid on April 7, 2011 to the shareholders of record at the close of business on March 11, 2011.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no material changes during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, outside of the ordinary course of business, to the contractual obligations specified in the table of contractual obligations included in Part 1, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no material changes during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates previously disclosed in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. Certain statements made in this report that reflect management’s expectations regarding future events are forward looking in nature and, accordingly are subject to risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are only current expectations about future events. Actual results could differ materially from those set forth in or implied by any forward-looking statement. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, risk factors set forth in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our annual and quarterly reports. The following is a summary of uncertainties which were disclosed in greater detail in “Factors Affecting Operating Results and Market Price of Stock” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

•

Industry risks relating to fluctuating operating results caused by competition, catastrophe losses, general economic conditions including interest rate changes and market conditions, legislative initiatives, the regulatory environment, the frequency of litigation, the size of judgments, severe weather conditions, climate changes or cycles, the role of federal or state government in the insurance market, judicial or other authoritative interpretations of laws and policies, and the availability and cost of reinsurance.

	•		Our ability to manage our exposure to catastrophic losses.

	•		Risks related to our dependence upon third party developers of models to estimate hurricane losses and the reasonableness of assumptions or scenarios incorporated into the models which may be provided by third parties or management.

	•		Risks related to our dependence upon third parties to perform certain functions including, but not limited to the purchase of reinsurance and risk management analysis. We also rely on reinsurers to limit the amount of risk retained under our policies and to increase our ability to write additional risks.

	•		Our ability to obtain reinsurance to the same extent and at the same cost as currently in place and minimize the loss of potential profits by ceding premiums to reinsurers.

	•		Credit risk, including certain concentrations with respect to our reinsurers, in light of our primary liability for the full amount of the risk underlying the reinsurance agreements.

	•		Risks related to the ability of the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund (FHCF) to provide reimbursements at levels requested and relied upon by us or as timely as required by our claims payments to policyholders. In addition, the cost of our reinsurance program may increase should we deem it necessary to purchase additional private market reinsurance due to reduced estimates of the FHCF’s claims-paying capacity.

	•		Risks that laws, contracts or requirements relating to the FHCF may not be interpreted in a manner consistent with UPCIC’s understandings or will change in the future.

	•		Our ability to estimate and maintain adequate liabilities to pay claims for losses and loss adjustment expenses.

	•		Adverse regulation or legislation.

	•		Our ability to implement sufficient and timely rate adjustments to provide aggregate premiums commensurate with expected losses.

	•		Risks related to our dependence upon the efforts of key individuals.

	•		Our ability to compete in a highly competitive industry.

	•		Our ability to maintain our financial stability rating provided by Demotech, Inc.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk is the potential for economic losses due to adverse changes in fair value of financial instruments. Our primary market risk exposures are related to our investment portfolio and include interest rates, equity prices and commodity prices, and to a lesser extent, our debt obligations. Investments in debt and equity securities held in trading are carried on the balance sheet at fair value. Our investment portfolio as of June 30, 2011 was comprised of approximately 4% debt securities and 96% equity securities, all of which were held for trading. Our investment portfolio as of December 31, 2010 was comprised approximately of 57% fixed income securities and 43% equity securities, all of which were held for trading. The surplus note, as previously described in “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” accrues interest at an adjustable rate based on the 10-year Constant Maturity Treasury rate.

Our investment objective is to maximize total rate of return after federal income taxes while maintaining liquidity and minimizing risk. Our investment portfolio is managed by an investment committee consisting of all current directors in accordance with guidelines established by the OIR. The committee reviews the management’s investment policies on a regular basis. The current investment policy limits investment in non-investment grade fixed maturity securities (including high-yield bonds), and limits total investments in preferred stock and common stock. We comply with applicable laws and regulations, which further restrict the type, quality and concentration of investments. In general, these laws and regulations permit investments, within specified limits and subject to certain qualifications, in federal, state and municipal obligations, corporate bonds, preferred and common equity securities and real estate mortgages.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the sensitivity of a fixed-rate instrument to changes in interest rates. When interest rates rise, the fair value of our fixed-rate instruments decline.

The following table provides information about our fixed income investments, which are sensitive to changes in interest rates. The table presents cash flows of principal amounts and related weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates for investments held in trading at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 (in thousands):


	As of June 30, 2011
															Total
	2011		2012			2013		2014		2015		Thereafter			Amortized Cost			Fair Value
US government and agency obligations	$	—	$	173		$	—	$	—	$	—		3,035		$	3,208		$	3,595

United States government and agency securities are rated from AAA to Aaa by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., and AAA by Standard and Poor’s Company.

Equity and Commodity Price Risk

Equity and commodity price risk is the potential for loss in fair value of investments in common stock, exchange-traded funds (ETF), and mutual funds from adverse changes in the prices of those instruments.

The following table provides information about the composition of equity and commodity securities held in the Company’s investment portfolio (in thousands):


	As of June 30, 2011					As of December 31, 2010
	Fair Value		Percent of Total			Fair Value		Percent of Total
Common stock:
Metals and mining	$	33,537		36.4	%	$	25,752		27.3	%
Other		1,315		1.4	%		362		0.4	%
Exchange-traded and mutual funds:
Metals and mining		33,634		36.4	%		42,209		44.7	%
Agriculture		18,761		20.3	%		14,877		15.7	%
Energy		2,215		2.4	%		5,559		5.9	%
Indices		—		0.0	%		4,613		4.9	%
Other		2,888		3.1	%		1,044		1.1	%

Total	$	92,350		100.0	%	$	94,416		100.0	%

A hypothetical decrease of 10% in the market prices of each of the equity and commodity securities held at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, would have resulted in a decrease of $9.2 million and $9.4 million, respectively, in the fair value of the equity securities portfolio.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2011 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in certain lawsuits. In the opinion of management, none of these lawsuits: (1) involve claims for damages exceeding 10% of the Company’s cash and invested assets, (2) involve matters that are not routine litigation incidental to the claims aspect of its business, (3) involve bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings, (4) involve material Federal, state, or local environmental laws; (5) potentially involve more than $100 thousand in sanctions and a governmental authority is a party, or (6) are material proceedings to which any director, officer, affiliate of the Company, beneficial owner of more than 5% of any class of voting securities of the Company, or security holder is a party adverse to the Company or has a material interest adverse to the Company.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Due to the implementation of our 2011-2012 reinsurance program, we retained a maximum, pre-tax net liability of $157.6 million for the first catastrophic event up to $1.8 billion of losses. Refer to the table on page 29 for information with respect to subsequent catastrophic events coverage. If catastrophic losses result in a net operating loss for the 2011 tax year, we can carry back the net operating loss to the 2010 and 2009 tax years and recover all, or a portion of, income taxes paid in those years.

In the opinion of management, there have been no other material changes during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors”, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
