FAIR VALUE AND CERTAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Fair
values

With
the exception of balances in respect of insurance contracts (which are specifically excluded from fair value disclosures under GAAP)
and investment securities as disclosed in Note 4 of these consolidated financial statements, the carrying amounts of all other financial
instruments, which consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, premiums receivable and other assets,
notes payable and accounts payable and other liabilities, approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.

Concentration
of underwriting risk

A
substantial portion of the Company’s current reinsurance business ultimately relates to the risks of a limited number of entities;
accordingly, the Company’s underwriting risks are not significantly diversified.

Concentrations
of Credit and Counterparty Risk

The
Company markets retrocessional and reinsurance policies worldwide through its brokers. Credit risk exists to the extent that any of these
brokers may be unable to fulfill their contractual obligations to the Company. For example, the Company is required to pay amounts owed
on claims under policies to brokers, and these brokers, in the Company. In some jurisdictions, if a broker fails to make such a payment,
the Company might remain liable to the ceding company for the deficiency. In addition, in certain jurisdictions, when the ceding company
pays premiums for these policies to brokers, these premiums are considered to have been paid and the ceding insurer is no longer liable
to the Company for those amounts, whether or not the premiums have actually been received.

The
Company remains liable for losses it incurs to the extent that any third-party reinsurer is unable or unwilling to make timely payments
under reinsurance agreements. The Company would also be liable in the event that its ceding companies were unable to collect amounts
due from underlying third-party reinsurers.

The
Company mitigates its concentrations of credit and counterparty risk by using reputable and several counterparties which decreases the
likelihood of any significant concentration of credit risk with any one counterparty.

Market
risk

Market
risk exists to the extent that the values of the Company’s monetary assets fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices. Changes
in market prices can arise from factors specific to individual securities or their respective issuers, or factors affecting all securities
traded in a particular market. Relevant factors for the Company are both volatility and liquidity of specific securities and markets
in which the Company holds investments
