4.We note your disclosures on pages 78 and 82 which describe your assumed policies
from Citizens and your acquired policies from St. Johns Insurance Company, United
Property & Casualty Insurance Company, and Truck Insurance Exchange. Please tell
us how you considered whether historical financial information about the acquired
and assumed blocks of insurance policies is necessary for investors to understand your
future operations. Please include, but do not limit your analysis to, your consideration
of the guidance in Rule 11-01(d) of Regulation S-X. If you determine that historical
financial information about the acquired and assumed blocks of insurance policies is
necessary, please describe the nature of such information that you believe would
provide an understanding of your future operations.
5.Please disclose, within the tables and related discussion on pages 78 and 82 or
elsewhere in the filing, the rate of renewals on your acquired and assumed policies for
each reporting period presented. Please provide these renewal rates disaggregated by
source of policy (e.g., Citizens Policies, UPC Policies, Organic Policies, etc.).
6.We note your disclosure that the increase in net premiums written in the nine months
ended September 30, 2024, was, among other reasons, a result of the acquisition and
subsequent renewals of Florida homeowners' policies from Truck Insurance

table on page 78, when you describe these as acquired policies. Please revise your
disclosure as needed.

or elsewhere in the filing, to provide a similar quantification and discussion of

10.We note your response to prior comment 2 and reissue. We note that your response
describes the accounting for the policies assumed from Citizens as reinsurance.
However, we also note that you have certain acquired policies, such as those from St.
Johns Insurance Company, United Property & Casualty Insurance Company ("UPC"),
and Farmers. Please describe your accounting policy for the acquired insurance
policies, including, for example:

assumed from Citizens;
•any assets or liabilities that you initially recognize at acquisition, and how they
are measured;
•whether consideration is exchanged for the acquired policies; and
•how you account for any difference that may exist between the fair value of the
acquired policies and the amount that you initially measure and recognize on your
financial statements at acquisition.
Please revise your disclosure as appropriate and tell us the authoritative guidance
upon which you relied.
