Note 1  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements for Homeowners Choice, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the
Company), which consist of Homeowners Choice Property & Casualty Insurance Company, Inc. (HCPC), Homeowners Choice Managers, Inc., Southern Administration, Inc., and Claddaugh Casualty Insurance Company, Ltd.
(Claddaugh), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information, and the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) rules for interim financial reporting. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
However, in the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the Companys financial position as of March 31, 2009 and the results of operations and cash
flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for any subsequent interim period or for the fiscal year ending December 31,
2009. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 included in the Companys
Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 13, 2009.

In preparing the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements, management was required to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures at the financial reporting date and throughout the periods being
reported upon. Certain of the estimates result from judgments that can be subjective and complex and consequently actual results may differ from these estimates.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near-term relate to the determination of loss and loss adjustment expense reserves, reinsurance balances payable, the recoverability of
deferred policy acquisition costs, the determination of federal income taxes, and the net realizable value of reinsurance recoverables. Although considerable variability is inherent in these estimates, management believes that the amounts provided
are reasonable. These estimates are continually reviewed and adjusted as necessary. Such adjustments are reflected in current operations.

All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Note 2  Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 141(R), Business Combinations (SFAS 141(R)). SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and early implementation is not permitted. SFAS 141(R) requires the acquiring entity in a
business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction; establishes the acquisition date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; and requires
the acquirer to disclose to investors and other users all of the information they need to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. Acquisition related costs including finders fees, advisory, legal,
accounting valuation and other professional and consulting fees are required to be expensed as incurred. The impact of adoption had no effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No.160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (SFAS 160). SFAS 160
requires the Company to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This Statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal
years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and earlier adoption is prohibited. The impact of adoption had no effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

In February 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB
Statement No. 157 (FSP FAS 157-2). FSP FAS 157-2 delays the effective date of FAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring
basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The impact of adoption had no effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities  an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 133 (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about a) how and why an entity uses
derivative instruments, b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys financial
position, financial performance, and cash flows. Companies are required to adopt SFAS 161 for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The impact of adoption had no effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

Note 2  Recent Accounting Pronouncements, continued

In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 163 (SFAS 163), Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts, an interpretation of SFAS Statement No. 60. SFAS 163
requires that an insurance enterprise recognizes a claim liability prior to an event of default (insured event) when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. SFAS 163 also clarifies how Statement
60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement to be used to account for premium revenue and claim liabilities. Those clarifications will increase comparability in financial reporting of financial
guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises. SFAS 163 also requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. SFAS 163 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning
after December 15, 2008. The impact of adoption had no effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008,
the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (SFAS 162). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be
used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). The FASB concluded that the GAAP hierarchy should reside in the accounting literature
established by the FASB and issued SFAS 162 to achieve that result. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SECs approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present
Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Management does not anticipate the pending adoption will have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

In December 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140-4 and FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)-8, Disclosures by Public Entities (Enterprises) about
Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests in Variable Interest Entities (SFAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8). SFAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8 requires public entities to provide additional disclosures about transfers of financial assets and their
involvement with variable interest entities. SFAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8 is effective for financial statements issued for any reporting period ending after December 15, 2008. The impact of adoption had no effect on the Companys
consolidated financial statements.

Note 3  Reinsurance

The Company cedes a portion of its homeowners insurance exposure to other entities under catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance treaties. The Company remains liable with respect to claims payments in the event that
any of the reinsurers are unable to meet their obligations under the reinsurance agreements. Thus, the Company continually monitors the financial condition of its reinsurers and periodically confirms the credit rating of its reinsurers by inquiry of
and discussion with its reinsurance brokers.

The impact of the catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance treaties on premiums written
and earned is as follows (dollars in thousands):

During the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, there were no recoveries pertaining to
reinsurance contracts that were deducted from losses incurred. At March 31, 2009, prepaid reinsurance premiums related to excess catastrophe reinsurance treaties. At March 31, 2009, there were no amounts receivable with respect to
reinsurers. Thus, there were no concentrations of credit risk associated with reinsurance receivables and prepaid reinsurance premiums as of March 31, 2009.

The Company writes insurance in the State of Florida, which could be exposed to hurricanes or
other natural catastrophes. Although the occurrence of a major catastrophe could have a significant effect on our monthly or quarterly results of operations, the Company believes that such an event would not be so material as to disrupt the overall
normal operations of the Company. However, the Company is unable to predict the frequency or severity of any such events that may occur in the near term or thereafter.

Note 5  Income Taxes

During the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company
recorded approximately $3.9 million and $2.4 million of income tax expense, respectively, which resulted in estimated annual effective tax rates of approximately 38.0% for 2009 and 37.9% for 2008. The Companys estimated annual effective tax
rate differs from the statutory federal income tax rate due to state income taxes, stock-based compensation and other nondeductible items.

Note 6  Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding
and reflects the assumed exercise or conversion of dilutive securities, such as stock options and warrants, computed using the treasury stock method. A summary of the numerator and denominator of the basic and fully diluted earnings per share is
presented below (dollars and shares in thousands, except per share amounts):

to purchase an aggregate of 978,334 shares of common stock excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise price of $7.00 specific to the options and $9.10 specific to the warrants exceeded the average market price
of the Companys common stock.

Note 7  Stockholders Equity, continued

Common Stock

On July 24, 2008, the
Company completed the sale of 1,666,668 units consisting of one share of the Companys common stock and one warrant. Two warrants may be exercised to acquire one share of common stock at an exercise price equal to $9.10 per share on or before
July 30, 2013. In addition, the Companys placement agents with respect to the offering received an aggregate of 166,666 warrants to purchase 166,666 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $9.10 per share. These placement agent
warrants are exercisable beginning on January 27, 2009 through their expiration date of July 30, 2013. In December 2008, a total of 61,666 of the placement agent warrants were forfeited. Thus, the Company has reserved 938,334 shares of
common stock for issuance upon exercise of the warrants. At any time after January 30, 2009 and before the expiration of the warrants, the Company at its option may cancel the warrants in whole or in part, provided that the closing price per
share of the Companys common stock has exceeded $11.38 for at least ten trading days within any period of twenty consecutive trading days, including the last trading day of the period. The placement agents also have the option to effect a
cashless exercise in which the warrants would be exchanged for the number of shares which is equal to the intrinsic value of the warrant divided by the current value of the underlying shares.

Effective March 18, 2009, the Companys Board of Directors authorized a plan to repurchase up to $3.0 million (inclusive of commissions) of the
Companys common shares. The repurchase plan permits the Company to repurchase shares from time to time through March 19, 2010. The shares may be purchased for cash in open market purchases, block transactions and privately negotiated
transactions in accordance with applicable federal securities laws. The share repurchase plan may be modified, suspended, terminated or extended by the Company any time without prior notice. During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the Company
repurchased and retired a total of 7,061 shares at an average price of $5.19 per share and a total cost, inclusive of fees and commissions, of $37,000, or $5.24 per share, under this authorized repurchase program. At March 31, 2009, a total of
$2,963,000 is available in connection with this plan.

Note 8  Stock-Based Compensation

Stock Option Plan

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the fair value
recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123-R, Share-Based Payment.

The Companys 2007 Stock Option and Incentive Plan
(the Plan) provides for granting of stock options to employees, directors, consultants, and advisors of the Company. Under the Plan, options may be granted to purchase a total of 6,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock. At
March 31, 2009, options to purchase 4,810,000 shares are available for grant under the Plan. The options vest over periods ranging from immediately vested to five years and are exercisable over the contractual term of ten years.

A summary of the activity in the Companys stock option plan is as follows (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts):

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Homeowners Choice, Inc.

Clearwater, Florida:

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Homeowners Choice, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of
March 31, 2009, and the related condensed consolidated statements of earnings and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, and the condensed consolidated statement of stockholders equity for the three
month period ended March 31, 2009. These interim condensed financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management.

We conducted our reviews 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, 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
reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 10, 2009, we expressed an unqualified opinion
on those financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2009, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet
from which it has been derived.

OVERVIEW

March 31, 2009 compared to $5.43 as of December 31, 2008.

We began operations in June of 2007 by participating in a
take-out program through which we assumed insurance policies held by Citizens Property Insurance Corporation (Citizens), a Florida state-supported insurer. The take-out program is a legislatively mandated program designed to
reduce the state risk exposure by encouraging private companies to assume policies from Citizens. Since inception, we have assumed approximately 88,000 property and casualty insurance policies

from Citizens, of which approximately 64,000 remain in force at May 14, 2009. These policies were assumed in six separate assumption transactions which
took place in July 2007, November 2007, February 2008, June 2008, October 2008, and December 2008 and account for substantially all of our premium revenue since inception. From our inception through March 31, 2009, Citizens
retained 6% of the written premium for the policies that we assumed, which is included in our policy acquisition costs. Our existing policies represent approximately $120 million in annualized premiums.

Citizens requires us to offer renewals on the policies we acquire for a period of three years subsequent to the initial expiration of the assumed
policies. We are required to offer these renewals at rates that are equivalent to or less than rates charged by Citizens. The policyholders have the option to renew with us or they may ask their agent to place their coverage with another insurance
company. They may also elect to return to Citizens prior to the policy renewal date. We strive to retain these policies by offering competitive rates to our policyholders, which may be below the rates we initially charged in our take-out program as
Citizens does not receive any portion of the renewal premium and, additionally, we expect our internal costs to renew the policy to be less than the original acquisition costs.

We face various challenges to implementing our operating and growth strategies. Since we write policies that cover Florida homeowners, condominium
owners, and tenants, we cover losses that may arise from, among other things, catastrophes, which could have a significant effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Even without catastrophic events, we may incur losses
and loss adjustment expenses that deviate substantially from our estimates and that may exceed our reserves, in which case our net income and capital would decrease. Our operating and growth strategies may also be impacted by regulation and
supervision of our business by the State of Florida, which must approve our policy forms and premium rates as well as monitor our insurance subsidiarys ability to meet all requirements for regulatory compliance. Additionally, we compete with
large, well-established insurance companies as well as other specialty insurers that, in most cases, possess greater financial resources, larger agency networks, and greater name recognition than we do.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2008

Our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 reflect net income of $6,284,000, or $.87 earnings per
diluted share, compared to net income of $3,924,000, or $.76 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Our insurance operations began in July 2007. Thus, our 2008 results of operations include only the three assumption
transactions whereas our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 reflect the results of six assumption transactions.

Revenue

Net Premiums Earnedof $21.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 reflect the
revenue from policies assumed from Citizens in connection with six separate assumption transactions, and the revenue on the renewal of these policies, reduced by the appropriate reinsurance costs. In comparison, net premiums earned of $10.4 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2008 reflect only those revenues from policies assumed from Citizens in three assumption transactions, reduced by the appropriate reinsurance costs. Net Premiums Written during the three months ended
March 31, 2009 and 2008 totaled $29.4 million and $20.0 million, respectively.

##### Table of Contents

Net Premiums Writtenis a non-GAAP financial measure representing the premiums charged on policies
issued during a fiscal period less any applicable reinsurance costs. Net Premiums Written is a statutory measure designed to determine production levels. Net Premiums Earned is the most directly comparable GAAP measure and represents the portion of
Net Premiums Written that is recognized as revenue in the financial statements for the year.

The following is a reconciliation of our
total Net Premiums Written to Net Premiums Earned for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 (dollars in thousands):

Net Investment Incomefor the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 of $358,000
and $346,000, respectively, is specific to our investment in certificates of deposit and money market accounts. Such investments and the related investment income have increased primarily as the result of incremental premiums we have collected and
invested following each assumption transaction. However, the increase in our investment income in 2009 was offset by a decline in short-term interest rates.

Other Incomefor the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 of $635,000 and $119,000, respectively, primarily reflects the policy fee income we earn with respect to our issuance of renewal policies.

Expenses

Losses and Loss
Adjustment Expensesfor the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 of $10.0 million and $2.3 million, respectively, reflects the impact of incurred claims, case reserve strengthening, and development of incurred but not reported losses.
The increase in 2009 is primarily attributable to an increase in actual claims incurred and, as a result, we have also strengthened our case reserves and reserves for incurred but not reported losses in 2009 as compared to 2008. The increase in
claims and related reserves is reflective of our increased policies in force and insured exposures. Our policy volume has grown from approximately 23,000 as of March 31, 2008 to approximately 64,000 policies as of March 31, 2009.

Policy Acquisition and Other Underwriting Expensesfor the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 of $1.1 million and $1.6
million, respectively, primarily reflect the amortization of deferred acquisition costs, commissions payable to agents for production of policies, and premium taxes and policy fees. The decrease in 2009 is primarily attributable to a decrease in the
commission rate specific to policies assumed from Citizens. The rate applicable to the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was 16% compared to 6% applicable to the quarter ended March 31, 2009. This decrease in assumed commissions was offset in
part by increases in our commissions specific to renewal business as such renewal commission rates are generally between 8.5% and 10.0%. We have renewed significantly more policies in 2009 than in 2008. In addition, we experienced increases in our
premium taxes and other underwriting expenses in 2009, which are directly attributable to the increase in renewal policy volume.

##### Table of Contents

Other Operating Expensesfor the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were $1,064,000
and $704,000, respectively. Such expenses include administrative compensation and related benefits, corporate insurance, professional fees, office lease and related expenses, information system expense, and other general and administrative costs.
The increase is primarily attributable to increases in 2009 for professional services fees, administrative compensation and related benefits, and net other operating expenses of $108,000, $105,000 and 147,000, respectively. The increase attributable
to compensation and related benefits relates primarily to new employees hired to manage the increase in our policy volume. As of March 31, 2009, we have 36 employees compared to 14 employees as of March 31, 2008.

Income Taxesfor the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were $3,853,000 and $2,392,000, respectively, for state and federal income
taxes resulting in an effective tax rate of 38.0% for 2009 and 37.9% for 2008.

Ratios:

The loss ratio (GAAP basis) applicable to the three months ended March 31, 2009 (loss and loss adjustment expenses related to premiums earned) was
46.99% compared to 21.78% for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase in 2009 is primarily attributable to an increase in actual claims incurred and, as a result, we have also strengthened our case reserves and reserves for incurred
but not reported losses in 2009 as compared to 2008. The increase in claims and related reserves is reflective of our increased policies in force and insured exposures. Our policy volume has grown from approximately 23,000 as of March 31, 2008
to approximately 64,000 policies as of March 31, 2009.

The expense ratio (GAAP basis) applicable to the three months ended
March 31, 2009 (policy acquisition and other underwriting expenses related to premiums earned plus compensation, employee benefits, and other operating expenses) was 10.14% compared to 22.18% for the three months ended March 31, 2008. A
portion of our administrative expenses are fixed and do not fluctuate significantly as our revenue increases. Thus, we have experienced an improvement in our expense ratio primarily as a result of our revenue growth over the past year.

The combined loss and expense ratio (GAAP basis) is the key measure of underwriting performance traditionally used in the property and casualty
industry. A combined ratio under 100.00% generally reflects profitable underwriting results. A combined ratio over 100.00% generally reflects unprofitable underwriting results. Our combined ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was
57.13% compared to 43.96% for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

Seasonality of Our Business

We expect to experience increases in our losses and loss adjustment expenses during the period from June 1 through November 30 each year as this
period is typically the period during which hurricanes and other tropical storms occur. As a result of such seasonal variations in our reported losses, we anticipate our operating profits during the period from June 1 through November 30
each year will be negatively impacted by an increase in losses and loss adjustment expenses. Conversely, we expect more favorable operating results during the period from December 1 through May 31 each year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Since inception, our liquidity requirements have been met through issuance of our common stock and funds from operations. We expect our future liquidity requirements will be met by funds from operations, primarily the
cash received by our insurance subsidiary from premiums earned and investment income.

Our insurance subsidiary requires liquidity and
adequate capital to meet ongoing obligations to policyholders and claimants and to fund operating expenses. In addition, we attempt to maintain adequate levels of liquidity and surplus to manage any differences between the duration of our
liabilities and invested assets. In the insurance industry, cash collected for premiums from policies written is invested, interest and dividends are earned thereon, and loss and settlement expenses are paid out over a period of years. This period
of time varies by the circumstances surrounding each claim. A substantial portion of our losses and loss expenses are fully settled and paid within 90 days of the claim receipt date. Additional cash outflow occurs through payments of underwriting
costs such as commissions, taxes, payroll, and general overhead expenses.

We believe that we maintain sufficient liquidity to pay our
insurance subsidiarys claims and expenses, as well as satisfy commitments in the event of unforeseen events such as reinsurer insolvencies, inadequate premium rates, or reserve deficiencies. We maintain a comprehensive reinsurance program at
levels management considers adequate to diversify risk and safeguard our financial position.

In the future, we anticipate our primary use
of funds will be to pay claims and operating expenses. In addition, as of March 31, 2009, a maximum of $2,963,000 may yet be committed over the next eleven months under our previously announced share repurchase plan.

Cash Flows

Our cash flows from operating, investing
and financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 are summarized below.

Cash Flows for the Three Months ended
March 31, 2009

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended was approximately $4.6 million, which
consisted primarily of cash received from net written premiums less cash disbursed for operating expenses and losses and loss adjustment expenses. Net cash used in investing activities of $6.2 million was primarily the result of our purchase of
short-term investments. Net cash used in financing activities totaled $13,000.

Cash Flows for the Three Months ended March 31, 2008

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was approximately $11.6 million, which
consisted primarily of cash received from net written premiums less cash disbursed for operating expenses and losses and loss adjustment expenses. Net cash used in investing activities of $8.0 million was primarily the result of our purchase of
short-term investments. We had no financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2008.

Investments

We have tailored our investment policy in an effort to minimize risk in the current financial market. Therefore, we currently invest our excess cash primarily in money market accounts and in certificates of deposit (i.e., CDs) that mature
in no more than thirteen months. With the exception of large national banks, it is our current policy not to deposit more than an aggregate of $5.5 million in any one bank at any time. In the future, we may alter our investment policy to include
investments such as federal, state and municipal obligations, corporate bonds, preferred and common equity securities and real estate mortgages, as permitted by applicable law, including insurance regulations.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

As of
December 31, 2008, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

As a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1) of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide the information
under this item.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

We have prepared our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires
us to make estimates and judgments to develop amounts reflected and disclosed in our financial statements. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term are related to our losses and loss adjustment
expenses, which include amounts estimated for claims incurred but not yet reported. We base our estimates on various assumptions and actuarial data that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from
these estimates.

We believe our accounting policies specific to premium revenue recognition, losses and loss adjustment expenses,
reinsurance, deferred policy acquisition costs, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and stock-based compensation expense involve our most significant judgments and estimates material to our consolidated financial statements. These accounting
estimates and related risks that we consider to be our critical accounting estimates are more fully described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which we filed with the SEC on March 13, 2009. For the three months ended March 31, 2009,
there have been no material changes with respect to any of our critical accounting policies.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Working Capital Restrictions and Other Limitations on Payment of Dividends

We are not subject to working capital restrictions or other limitations on the payment of dividends. Our insurance subsidiary, however, is subject to
restrictions on the dividends it may pay to our parent corporation, Homeowners Choice, Inc. Those restrictions could impact our ability to pay dividends if our Board of Directors determines to do so.

Under Florida law, a domestic insurer such as our insurance subsidiary, Homeowners Choice Property & Casualty Insurance Company, Inc., may not pay
any dividend or distribute cash or other property to its stockholders except out of that part of its available and accumulated capital and surplus funds which is derived from realized net operating profits on its business and net realized capital
gains. For a three-year period beginning March 30, 2007, our insurance subsidiary, as a newly licensed Florida insurer, is precluded from paying dividends unless approved in advance by the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation. Additionally,
Florida statutes preclude our insurance subsidiary from making dividend payments or distributions to stockholders without prior approval of the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation if the dividend or distribution would exceed the larger of
(1) the lesser of (a) 10.0% of its capital surplus or (b) net income, not including realized capital gains, plus a two year carry forward, (2) 10.0% of capital surplus with dividends payable constrained to unassigned funds minus
25% of unrealized capital gains or (3) the lesser of (a) 10.0% of capital surplus or (b) net investment income plus a three year carry forward with dividends payable constrained to unassigned funds minus 25% of unrealized capital
gains.
