 a premium deficiency. A premium deficiency would result if the sum of the Company’s expected losses, deferred policy acquisition costs, and policy maintenance costs (such as costs to store records and costs incurred to collect premiums and pay commissions) exceeded the Company’s related unearned premiums plus investment income. Should the Company determine that a premium deficiency exists, the Company would write off the unrecoverable portion of Deferred policy acquisition cost. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company has recorded no premium deficiency reserve. The Company considered the Citizens assumed policies as reinsurance accounting as indicated by the ASC 944-20-20definition of reinsurance includes “assumption or novation reinsurance contracts that are legal replacements of one insurer by another extinguish the ceding entity’s liability to the policyholder”. Further, guidance at ASC 944-20-15-37a. indicates reinsurance accounting applies to any “transaction... whose individual terms indemnify an insurer against loss or liability relating to insurance risk. That is, all contracts, including contracts that may not be structured or described as reinsurance, shall be accounted for as reinsurance if those conditions are met.” The Citizens policies assumed and the policies acquired from St. Johns Insurance Company in 2022 and United Property Casualty Company in 2023 are short-duration contracts under ASC 944 as the original and remaining policy periods is one year or less. The Company meets the conditions of ASC 944-20-15-41 as it completely assumes the insurance risk of the policy going forward with the policyholder, and as such the Company has risk of significant loss as it has assumed all aspects of the policy going forward. ASC 944 is generally silent on the accounting for an assumed reinsurance contract. ASC 944-20-05-3 simply notes: “Four methods of premium revenue and contract liability recognition for insurance contracts have developed: short-duration contract accounting and three methods of long duration contract accounting.... Generally, the four methods reflect the nature of the insurance entity’s obligations and policyholder rights under the provisions of the contract.” The Company views assuming insurance risk from another insurer or from non-insurers is economically the same and thus would follow the same short-duration contract accounting as its direct written premiums. The Company accounts for the unearned premium pro rata over the remaining policy period similar to direct written premiums. The Company believes its treatment is reasonable based on analogy to the following guidance:
