Current report
As a result of multiple years of underwriting losses, mainly from the legacy commercial lines of business, the Insurance Company Subsidiaries capital and surplus has diminished over the years. In addition, there was $12.3 million and $29.9 million of adverse development in TIC during 2025 and 2024, respectively.

PHI contributed all of its $7.6 million ownership interest in WPIC to TIC effective December 31, 2025, as further support to TIC's capital and surplus. Additionally, PHI contributed $3.0 million of cash to TIC in February 2026 which was included in TIC's reported statutory capital and surplus as of December 31, 2025. Even with these contributions, TIC fell within the Company Action Level of the Risk Based Capital ("RBC") with an RBC ratio of 236% and 156% as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and is required to submit an updated plan of remediation to its domiciliary regulator.

Insurance Company Subsidiaries Capital Constraints
Previous report
As a result of multiple years of underwriting losses, mainly from the commercial lines of business, the Insurance Company Subsidiaries capital and surplus has diminished over the years. In addition, in the fourth quarter of 2024, there was significant additional adverse development in CIC. This resulted in the need for CHI to contribute an additional $16.0 million into CIC in order for CIC to remain above the Regulatory Action Level of the Risk Based Capital (“RBC”). Even with these contributions, CIC fell within the Company Action Level of the RBC and was required to submit a plan of remediation to the domiciliary state regulators. To fund these additional contributions, CHI utilized proceeds from the CIS Sale and raised $7.5 million from the issuance of our Series B Preferred Stock. WPIC no longer writes any business and CIC’s writings are significantly constrained by its diminished capital position.

Income Taxes
Previous report
As of December 31, 2024, we have federal and state income tax net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards of $65.0 million and $82.4 million, respectively. Of the NOL carryforwards, $62.2 million will expire in tax years 2030 through 2043 and $10.5 million will never expire. Of the federal NOL amount, $6.8 million are subject to limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. These net NOL carryforwards are limited in the amount that can be utilized in any one year and may expire before they are realized.
Previous report
A valuation allowance of $19.7 million and $28.0 million has been recorded against the gross deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, as the Company has recognized a three-year cumulative loss from continuing operations as of December 31, 2024 which is significant negative evidence to support the lack of recoverability of those deferred tax assets in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. If the $19.7 million valuation allowance as of December 31, 2024 were reversed in the future, it would increase book value by $1.62 per share. The net deferred tax assets were zero as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Previous report
If, in the future, we determine we can support the recoverability of a portion or all of the deferred tax assets under the guidance, the tax benefits relating to any reversal of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets will be accounted for as a reduction of income tax expense and result in an increase in equity in the period of change if such judgment occurs. Changes in tax laws and rates may affect recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities and our effective tax rate in the future.

Previous report
Interest expense was $4.9 million and $3.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company repaid $24.4 million of its 6.75% public senior unsecured notes and issued $17.9 million of 9.75% public senior unsecured notes (the "New Public Notes") during the third quarter of 2023, which mature on September 30, 2028. The Company also restructured its existing $10.5 million of 7.5% subordinated notes to $10.0 million of new 12.5% Senior Secured Notes on September 30, 2023, which required quarterly principal payments of $250,000.
Previous report
Due to significant losses in 2023 and 2024, much of which is attributable to strengthening reserves on the commercial liability lines of business (which are now all in run-off), both Insurance Company Subsidiaries lack sufficient capital to continue to underwrite the volume of business they have historically written. In particular, there was significant additional adverse development in CIC in the fourth quarter of 2024. This resulted in the need for CHI to contribute an additional $16.0 million into CIC in late 2024 and early 2025 in order for CIC to remain above the Regulatory Action Level of the Risk Based Capital (“RBC”). Even with these contributions, CIC fell within the Company Action Level with an RBC ratio of 156% and was required to submit a plan of remediation to its domiciliary regulator. CIC is also subject to additional regulatory monitoring requirements as a result of the Company not being above the minimum required RBC levels as of December 31,
Previous report
In March 2025, the Company issued $7.5 million of its newly designated Series B Preferred Stock. The Company intends to use the proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes. With the recent capital raise, anticipated go-forward revenues, the likelihood that we will receive a $10.0 million earnout during 2025 and the potential for further asset sales, management believes the Company has the ability to meet its obligations as they become due over the next twelve months.

Reworded paragraphs (60)
Previous wording
In January 2024, the Company began to reduce premium revenues from underwriting operations due to a lack of adequate statutory capital and surplus in its Insurance Company Subsidiaries. The Company ceased writing almost all commercial lines premiums by August 30, 2024. We expect minimal premiums from commercial lines in the near term with no current plans to re-establish commercial lines premium volumes in the future. The Company expects to continue to directly write the Midwest and Texas homeowners business going forward, however, the Company is subject to significant concentration of risk because all of the homeowners business is produced by one agency, SSU, and we no longer have any ownership interest or control over where SSU places its business. To provide ongoing capital support for the Insurance Company Subsidiaries, the Company sold its agency operations.

Previous wording
The CIS Sale will have a significant negative impact on revenues for the Company going forward. With the previously mentioned strategic shift away from underwriting revenues, the Company was relying on the growth of commission revenue to replace the lost revenue from underwriting. Now that the wholesale agency segment has been sold, the Company will need to rely entirely on underwriting revenues. These revenues have reduced significantly in the past year. For example, gross written premiums were $24.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, as compared to only $13.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.

The contingent consideration payments, in order of achievability are $5.0 million, $10.0 million and $10.0 million. The contingent consideration included in the gain on sale was calculated based on the fair value of the three contingent payments as of September 30, 2024, in accordance with ASC 820 - Fair Value Measurement. The first contingent payment was earned as of September 30, 2024, and was reported at a fair value of $4.9 million value. The full $5.0 million contingent payment was received by the Company in December 2024, with the change in fair value being reflected in Other gains in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The second contingent payment is expected to be earned in 2025 and the third contingent payment is not expected to be earned until after 2025, if at all. The Company determined the combined fair value of the second and third contingent payments to be $8.1 million as of December 31, 2024. The fair values of all contingent payments increased the gain on the sale of CIS as of September 30, 2024. As fair value estimates change over time, subsequent measurement adjustments will be reflected in income or loss from continuing operations in the period of change.

With the completion of the disposal of the agency business, we have just two agency relationships; with CIS and SSU. CIS has control over almost all of our commercial lines premium volume and it is expected that CIS will remove all of the remaining commercial lines business to another insurer as some point in the future. SSU has control of our remaining homeowners book of business and could move that business to another insurer or insurers. This is a significantly different structure from when we filed our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K, on April 1, 2024 with the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission. We no longer directly “market and sell our insurance products through a network of over 4,400 independent agents that distribute our policies through approximately 950 sales offices” as stated in that filing. Those relationships are now owned by unrelated third parties (CIS and SSU). This greatly amplifies our concentration of risk relative to our marketing and distribution network.

Our loss and LAE reserves do not represent an exact measurement of liability, but are estimates. The most significant assumptions affecting our IBNR reserve estimates are the loss development factors applied to paid losses and case reserves to develop IBNR by line of business and accident year. Although historical loss development provides us with an indication of future loss development, it typically varies from year to year. Thus, for each accident year within each line of business we select one loss development factor out of a range of historical factors.

The following table displays ultimate net loss and LAE and net loss and LAE reserves by accident year for the year ended December 31, 2024. We applied the sensitivity factors to each accident year amount and have calculated the amount of potential net loss and LAE reserve change and the impact on 2024 reported pre-tax income and on net income and shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2024. We believe it is not appropriate to sum the illustrated amounts as it is not reasonably likely that each accident year’s reserve estimate assumptions will vary simultaneously in the same direction to the full extent of the sensitivity factor. The shareholders' equity amounts include an income tax rate assumption of 21%, however due to the net operating losses (“NOL”) available to use against taxable income and the offsetting valuation allowance, there is no difference between pre-tax income and shareholders’ equity in this schedule. The dollar amounts in the table are in thousands.
