Managements Responsibility
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the interim consolidated financial information in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this responsibility includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control sufficient to provide a reasonable basis for the preparation and fair presentation of interim consolidated financial information in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Auditors Responsibility
Our responsibility is to conduct our review in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to reviews of interim financial information. 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial information. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim consolidated financial information for it to be in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Note A - Organization
Organization: NBIC Holdings, Inc., (NBICHI or the Company) a Delaware domiciled holding company was organized on January 23, 2008 with subsidiaries engaged in the property and casualty insurance business. On formation, the Company, in a private transaction, issued 30,000 shares of Series 1 Class A Common Stock in exchange for $30.0 million of cash from BFG Intermediate LP, SSP Offshore LLC and RenaissanceRe Ventures Ltd. An additional 65,000 shares of Series 1 Class A Common Stock have been subsequently issued in exchange for $65.0 million of cash from BFG Intermediate LP and SSP Offshore LLC. During 2011, 14,516 shares held by RenaissanceRe Ventures Ltd. and certain minority shareholders were purchased by BFG Intermediate LP and SSP Offshore LLC.
On the date of organization the Company purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of NBIC Financial Holdings, Inc. (NBICFHI) (formerly known as Blackstone Financial Group, Inc.) in a private transaction. In exchange of the shares of NBICFHI the existing owners received 13,148 shares of Series 1 Class A Common Stock valued at $13,148,201. NBICFHI is a Delaware domiciled holding company that was organized in 2005 offering property and casualty insurance through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Narragansett Bay Insurance Company (NBIC).
The Company through NBIC is providing homeowners insurance to its policyholders in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. NBIC distributes its product through a network of independent agents located in these states.
Pawtucket Insurance Company (PIC) a wholly-owned subsidiary of NBIC is in voluntary liquidation and is running off property and casualty business written prior to 2004 in New England and certain Mid-Atlantic states. PIC emerged from state controlled rehabilitation in December of 2005.
In January 2010, the Companys wholly-owned subsidiary, NBIC Service Company (Service), entered into an administrative services and employee leasing agreement (Agreement) to provide administrative services to NBIC and PIC.
Both NBIC and PIC are Rhode Island domiciled companies that are subject to the regulations of the Rhode Island Department of Business Regulation (the Department or RIDBR) and the regulations of each state in which they operate. These property and casualty insurance companies undergo periodic financial examination by insurance regulatory agencies.

NBIC Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Note B - Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Preparation and Consolidation: These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all its subsidiaries. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) as promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. While management believes that the amounts included in the consolidated financial statements reflect the Companys best estimates and assumptions, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Investments: The Company classifies its investments in fixed maturity securities as available-for-sale. Fixed maturity securities are reported at their estimated fair values (see Note C). Realized investment gains and losses and certain declines in value considered to be other-than-temporary are determined on the basis of specific identification and are included as a component of net investment income. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes amortization of premiums and discounts relating to the fixed maturity securities acquired. The Company uses the scientific method to amortize premiums and discounts relating to the fixed maturity securities, which closely approximates the effective interest method. Mortgage-backed securities (MBS) are amortized using the interest method considering anticipated prepayments at the date of purchase. Unrealized investment gains and losses including declines in value considered to be temporary, are determined on the basis of specific identification and are included, after adjustment for deferred income taxes, in other comprehensive income on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Fair Value Measurements: The Companys estimates of fair value for financial assets are based on the framework established in the fair value measurements and disclosures accounting guidance. The framework is based on the inputs used in valuation and requires that observable inputs be used in the valuations when available. The disclosure of fair value estimates in the fair value accounting guidance includes a hierarchy based on whether significant valuation inputs are observable. The highest priority in the hierarchy is given to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs that reflect the Companys significant market assumptions.
7
NBIC Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Note B - Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
The three levels of the hierarchy for measuring fair value are as follows:
Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets traded in active markets.
Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset and market corroborated inputs.
Level 3: Valuations are based on models where significant inputs are not observable. The unobservable inputs reflect the Companys own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use.
Fair values are based on quoted market prices when available (Level 1). The Company receives quoted market prices from a third party, nationally recognized pricing service.
When market prices are not available, the Company utilizes a pricing service to determine an estimate of fair value, which is mainly used for its fixed maturity investments. The fair value is generally estimated using current market inputs for similar financial instruments with comparable terms and credit quality, commonly referred to as matrix pricing (Level 2).
In instances where there is little or no market activity for the same or similar instruments, the Company estimates fair value using methods, models and assumptions that management believes are relevant to the particular asset. This may include discounted cash flow analysis or other income based approaches (Level 3).
These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment. The Company recognizes transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period.
Other Than Temporary Impairments: Impairment losses, other than those considered temporary, result in a permanent reduction of the cost basis of the underlying investment and are reflected as a realized loss. In evaluating potential other than temporary impairment (OTTI) of investments, management considers, among other criteria: (1) for fixed maturity investments, whether the Company intends to sell the investment or whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investment prior to an anticipated recovery in value; (2) the likelihood of the recoverability of principal and interest for fixed maturity securities (i.e., whether there is a credit loss); (3) the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than amortized cost for fixed maturity securities; and (4) the financial condition, near-term and long-term prospects for the issuer, including the relevant industry conditions and trends, and implications of rating agency actions and offering prices.
OTTI for fixed maturity securities are recognized when the Company has the intent to sell or when it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery in value. For fixed maturity investments that the Company does not intend to sell and for which it is more likely than not that the Company would not be required to sell before an anticipated recovery in value, the Company separates the credit loss component of the impairment from the amount related to all other factors and reports the credit loss component as a component of realized losses. The impairment related to all other factors is reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss. For fixed maturity investments the Company intends to sell or for which it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell before an anticipated recovery in value, the full amount of the impairment is included as a component of net investment income.

NBIC Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Note B - Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Upon recognizing an OTTI, the new cost basis of the investment is the previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized realized losses on investments. The new cost basis is not adjusted for any subsequent recoveries in fair value; however, for fixed maturity investments the difference between the new cost basis and the expected cash flows is accreted over the remaining expected life of the investment.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents are presented at cost which approximates fair value and consists of cash deposited at financial institutions and investments in short-term, highly liquid securities, which have original maturities of less than three months from the purchase date. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insures amounts on deposit with financial institutions up to limits as prescribed by law. The Company maintains certain cash and short-term investment balances that exceed FDIC insurance thresholds or are not FDIC insured; however, the Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Management does not believe these balances represent a significant credit risk to the Company.
Premiums and Acquisition Costs: Premiums written and assumed are recorded in accordance with the terms of the underlying policies and are reported net of premiums ceded to reinsurers. Premiums are earned on a pro-rata basis over the period the coverage is provided. Unearned premium represents the portion of premiums written applicable to the unexpired terms of policies in force. Advance premium represents premium payments received prior to the effective date of underlying policies. No provision for uncollectible premiums receivable has been recorded at September 30, 2017 and 2016. Premium balances written off during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 amounted to $531,840 and $460,895, respectively.
The Company recognizes premium deficiencies when there is a probable loss on an insurance contract. Premium deficiencies are recognized if the sum of the expected losses and loss adjustment expenses and unamortized deferred acquisition costs exceed unearned premiums and anticipated investment income. No premium deficiency reserve has been recorded as of September 30, 2017 and 2016.
Acquisition costs, which vary with and are directly related to the successful acquisition or renewal of policies, consist primarily of commission paid to agents, premium taxes and certain underwriting costs. These costs are deferred and amortized over the period that the premiums are earned. Future earned premiums, the anticipated losses and other costs (and in the case of premium deficiency, investment income) related to those premiums, are also considered in determining the level of acquisition cost to be deferred (See Note F).
Reinsurance: In the normal course of business, the Company seeks to reduce the potential amount of loss arising from claim events by reinsuring certain levels of risk. Prospective reinsurance premiums, losses, and loss adjustment expenses are accounted for on a basis consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts. The portion of ceded premium applicable to the unexpired terms of the reinsurance agreements are recorded as ceded unearned premium reserves. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with the claim liability associated with the reinsured policy. No allowance for uncollectible reinsurance was recorded as of September 30, 2017 and 2016. No reinsurance balances were written off during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 or 2016.
The Company purchases quota share reinsurance from unaffiliated reinsurance partners, as more fully described in Note E.
The Company also purchases general excess of loss, catastrophe reinsurance coverage, reinstatement premium protection coverage, umbrella, coverage on named storms and facultative reinsurance which limit the Companys exposure to large losses.

Note B - Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Ceding commissions are deferred as unearned ceding commissions and earned over the terms of the reinsurance agreements to which they relate. Ceding commissions on the quota share agreements call for a provisional ceding commission rate, subject to a sliding scale adjustment based on the loss experience of the reinsurers. As adjustments to the ceding commission become necessary, such adjustments are reflected in current operations.
Due to the terms and December 31st effective date of the renewed net retained lines quota share reinsurance contract a quarter of the ceded premium and ceding commission balance relative to this contract is unearned as of September 30 in the current year and earned in the remainder of the reporting period (See Note F).
Property, Equipment and Software: The Company recorded land and buildings at their estimated fair value at acquisition as a result of the purchase described in Note A. Depreciation expense on buildings is computed using the straight line method over an estimated 40-year life. Equipment and software over $25,000 are reported at cost less accumulated depreciation, capitalized and depreciated on the straight line basis over the estimated useful life (generally three to five years).
The Company accounts for costs incurred to develop computer software for internal use in accordance with the applicable guidance. As required by this guidance, the Company capitalizes the costs incurred during the application development stage, which include costs to design the software configuration and interfaces, coding, installation, and testing. Costs incurred during the preliminary project along with post-implementation stages of internal use computer software are expensed as incurred. Capitalized development costs are amortized over various periods up to three years. Costs incurred to maintain existing product offerings are expensed as incurred.
The capitalization and ongoing assessment of recoverability of development costs requires considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, technological and economic feasibility, and estimated economic life.
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the asset. No impairment losses have been recognized on long lived assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 or 2016. Repair and maintenance costs are charged to operating expense as incurred.
Intangible Assets: The Company has recorded acquired identifiable intangible assets as a result of the purchase described in Note A. In accounting for such assets the Company follows guidance on financial accounting and reporting related to goodwill and other intangible assets at acquisition. The cost of a group of assets acquired in a transaction is allocated to the individual assets including identifiable intangible assets based on their relative fair values. Identifiable assets with a finite useful life are amortized over the period that the asset is expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the future cash flows of the Company.
All identifiable intangible assets are tested for recoverability at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that a carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying value of an intangible asset is not recoverable and its carrying amount exceeds its fair value. If impairment exists, the impairment is charged to expense in the period in which it is determined. No impairment losses were recognized in the nine months ending September 30, 2017 or 2016.

Note B - Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Loss and Loss Adjustment Expenses (LAE): Unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses include reserves for reported unpaid losses and loss expenses and for losses and loss expenses incurred but not reported and are net of salvage and subrogation. The reserve for reported unpaid losses and loss expenses is established by management based on information reported from insureds, pools and agents, and represents the estimated ultimate cost of events or conditions that have been reported to or identified by the Company.
The reserve for losses and loss expenses incurred but not reported is estimated by management based on loss development patterns determined by reference to the Companys underwriting practices, historical trends and industry data for homeowners insurance. Reinsurance recoveries on unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses have been estimated using assumptions consistent with those used to estimate the related liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses. In developing its estimate, the Company utilizes both in-house and independent external consulting actuaries.
Management believes that the reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses are sufficient to cover the ultimate cost of losses. However, there can be no assurance that losses will not exceed or be less than the Companys total reserves. Accordingly, the ultimate liability could be in excess of or less than the amount indicated in the consolidated financial statements. The methodology of estimating loss reserves is periodically reviewed to ensure that the assumptions made continue to be appropriate and if any adjustments to these estimates become necessary, such adjustments are reflected in current operations (see Note D).
Income Taxes: The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax effects attributable to temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, based on enacted tax rates and other provisions of tax law. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax laws or rates is recognized in income in the period in which such change is enacted. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. No valuation allowance was recorded for the nine months ending September 30, 2017 or 2016.
Stock Based Compensation: The Companys share-based management incentive plan authorizes the granting of Series 1 Class B restricted stock to certain employees. The compensation expense for these restricted stock shares was based on their estimated fair value at date of grant and amortized over the vesting period. The fair value of the restricted stock award is estimated on the date of grant based on the Black Scholes pricing model that includes assumptions such as the risk free rate on the seven year Treasury note and the expected life of award. The Company used historical and industry information to determine the assumptions and if these assumptions change significantly for future grants, compensation expense will fluctuate in future periods. The Company obtains an appraisal from a third party business valuation specialist to determine the current market value of all newly granted Series 1 Class B common stock of the Company (see Note H).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: The Company describes below recent pronouncements that may have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements or on its disclosures upon future adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on, or are unrelated to, its financial condition, results of operations, or related disclosures.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which provides guidance on the accounting for credit losses of financial instruments that are measured at amortized cost, including held to maturity securities and reinsurance recoverables, by applying an approach based on the current expected credit losses. The estimate of expected credit losses should consider historical information, current information, as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts, including estimates of prepayments. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset in order to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset on the consolidated balance sheet. The guidance also amends the current accounting for other-than-temporary impairment model by requiring an estimate of the expected credit loss only when the fair value is below the amortized cost of the asset. The length of time the fair value of an available for sale debt security has been below the amortized cost will no longer impact the determination of whether a potential credit loss exists. The available for sale debt security model will also require the use of a valuation allowance as compared to the current practice of writing down the asset. The standard is effective for the Company in 2021. The Company has not yet evaluated the effect that the updated standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which requires recognition of the excess tax benefits or deficiencies of share-based awards through net income rather than through additional paid in capital. Additionally, the guidance allows for an election to account for forfeitures related to share-based payments either as they occur or through an estimation method. The Company will adopt this guidance in 2018 and will recognize the excess tax benefits (deficiencies) within our results of operations. The calculation of the excess tax benefits and deficiencies is based on the difference between the market value of a stock award at the date of vesting, or at the time of exercise for a stock option, compared to the grant date fair value recognized as compensation expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company has determined that the financial statements in future periods will be affected by this new guidance principally when excess tax benefit or deficiencies occur, given that all such future items will be recognized as income tax benefits or expense in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. The value of such transactions is not currently determinable because such amounts will vary based upon the value of the Companys common stock on the date of vesting of restricted stock or exercise of stock options. Additionally, the amounts recognized will be presented as operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows, whereas such amounts are currently classified as financing activities.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU Topic 2016-1, Financial StatementsOverall (Topic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, that affects the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. The guidance requires an assessment of a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets related to unrealized losses of available for sale debt securities in combination with other deferred tax assets. The standard is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2019. The Company has not yet evaluated the effect that the updated standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In May 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2015-09, Disclosures about Short-Duration Contracts. The guidance in ASU 2015-09 requires additional disclosures for the purpose of providing better insight into an insurers initial claim estimates and subsequent adjustments and to help financial statement users understand the frequency, severity, and timing of future cash flows related to the estimated claim costs. ASU 2015-09 will be effective for the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017. Other than requiring additional disclosures, ASU 2015-09 is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

The unrealized losses as of September 30, 2017 and 2016 are considered to be temporary impairments. Individual security positions comprising this balance have been evaluated by management, based on specific criteria to determine if these impairments should be considered other than temporary. The Company has concluded that the value of the investments for which it reports unrealized losses at September 30, 2017 and 2016 are not other than temporarily impaired.

The Company purchases reinsurance to manage various exposures including catastrophe risks. Although reinsurance agreements contractually obligate the Companys reinsurers to reimburse it for the agreed-upon portion of its gross paid losses, they do not discharge the primary liability of the Company.

Effective June 1, 2017, the Company entered into a gross quota share reinsurance contract whereby the Company ceded 18.75% share of all homeowners business insured to four reinsurers.
Effective December 31, 2016, the Company renewed and increased the cession amount of its net retained lines quota share reinsurance contract. The Company cedes 60% of all homeowners business insured, net of reinsurance agreements that inure to the benefit of the contract. The reinsurers maximum limits for any occurrence is $12.0 million (60% of $20 million) for property business. The 60% is placed across nine reinsurer partners.
Effective June 1, 2016, the Company entered into a gross quota share reinsurance contract whereby the Company ceded 15% share of all homeowners business insured to four reinsurers. Effective June 1, 2015, the Company entered into a gross quota share reinsurance contract whereby the Company ceded 7.5% share of all homeowners business insured to two reinsurers.
As the effective dates of the net quota share contracts were December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, approximately three months of the balance of ceding commissions related to the current year has been deferred as unearned ceding commission on the interim consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2017 and 2016, based on the earning of the underlying policies. Ceding commission earned during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 amounted to $61,323,073 and $50,194,995, respectively.

Note G - Employee Benefit Plans
The Company sponsors a qualified defined benefit pension plan (Plan) covering its current and former employees. Effective July 27, 2003, benefits accumulated under the Plan were frozen and no further benefits are accumulating for employees. The measurement date used to determine the net periodic pension cost is December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
The composition of net periodic benefit cost is as follows for the nine months ended September 30:
2017 | 2016 | |||||||
Net periodic cost |
||||||||
Interest cost |

||||||||
Discount rate |

Rates of increase in compensation levels |
N/A Plan is frozen | N/A Plan is frozen |
* | (Liability re-measured at 3.75% on December 31, 2016 due to certain lump sum settlement events. |
Contributions to the Plan during 2017 are estimated to be $437,551. Due to the relatively small number of plan participants, actual payouts over the ten year period could vary significantly from the estimates shown, depending on the retirement decisions made by the individual participants and other factors.
The Company also has a non-qualified supplemental executive retirement plan (SERP) covering four former employees. At September 30, 2017 and 2016, assets at an estimated fair value of $1,213,253 and $1,213,022, respectively, were held in a Rabbi Trust for two of the former employees for an original period of five years (allocated assets). In December 2003, the two former employees assigned their rights under the SERP to American International Specialty Life Insurance Company (AISLIC). At December 31, 2011, the allocated assets were $720,972 and a related liability recorded as a component of accrued retirement plan expense on the consolidated balance sheets. The Superior Court order provides for the payment of losses and loss adjustment expense reserves, net of reinsurance (loss reserves) from the allocated assets in the event loss reserves develop adversely above $28,450,000, which was actuarially determined in connection with the closing of the sale of the Company. Under the terms of the order on December 5, 2011, the Company was due to pay out the allocated assets to AISLIC. In November 2011 the Company filed a motion with the Rhode Island Superior Court to further delay the payment of assets. The motion to delay payment was approved for an additional three years by the Rhode Island Superior Court. The Company is currently in settlement negotiations with AISLIC. While the final resolution of the settlement is uncertain, based upon currently available information, management believes the amount will not exceed $50,000. Accordingly, the Company reduced the SERP liability to $50,000 in 2012.

Note G - Employee Benefit Plans (Continued)
The Company sponsors a 401(K) savings plan which employees can elect to participate in following six months of service. Commencing in 2011, the Company matches 401(K) contributions dollar for dollar for the first $1,000 contributed per year, and fifty cents on the dollar, thereafter, up to a maximum of 3%. Employer contributions vest 20% each year until fully vested after 5 years. The Company does not offer any post-employment benefits. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Companys contributions to the plan on behalf of the participating employees were $237,638 and $284,439, respectively.
Note H - Common Stock and Stock Based Employee Compensation
The holders of Series 1 Class A common stock and Series 2 Class A common stock (collectively the Class A shareholders) are each entitled to three votes per share and the holders of Series 1 Class B common stock (Class B shareholders) are entitled to one vote per share. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of Series 2 Class A common stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to the holders of Series 1 Class A common stock and the holders of Class B common stock any distribution of assets of the Company. Only after full payment has been made to the holders of Series 2 Class A common stock, the holders of Series 1 Class A common stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to the holders of Class B common stock.
The Companys Management Incentive Program (the Plan) provides for grants of restricted stock and is administered by the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The restricted stock awards issued vest as set forth in the applicable award agreements. These shares contain certain restrictions, prior to vesting, related to, among other things, forfeiture in the event of termination of employment, voting restrictions and subordinate to Series 1 Class A Common Stock. The recipients are not entitled to receive delivery of a stock certificate prior to vesting, nor may any restricted stock be sold, transferred, pledged, or otherwise disposed of by the holder.
During 2014, there were 21,920 Class B shares of restricted stock granted to certain employees. Of the 21,920 Class B shares granted, 7,475 vested during 2014. The remaining shares are subject to vesting restrictions that incorporate an element of time through 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company amortized $110,489 and $17,371, respectively, to compensation expense for the vesting of restricted stock grants.

Note J - Statutory Financial Data
PIC and NBIC statutory-basis financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Department. Currently, prescribed statutory accounting practices are interspersed throughout state insurance law and regulations, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (the NAIC) Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual and a variety of other NAIC publications. Permitted statutory accounting practices encompass all accounting practices that are not prescribed; such practices may differ from state to state and may differ across companies within a state and may change in the future.
The statutory capital and surplus and net income, based on unaudited filings for the principal operating subsidiaries of the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 are as follows:

Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Note J - Statutory Financial Data (Continued)
The primary differences between statutory financial statements and statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are that statutory financial statements do not reflect deferred policy acquisition costs, unearned ceding commissions, unrealized gains (losses) on certain investments, and other adjustments. Additionally, reported deferred income tax assets are calculated in a different manner for statutory financial reporting purposes.
PIC, with the explicit permission of the Department, records the value of its buildings and land at fair market value in the statutory financial statements. If buildings and land were carried at depreciated cost, property and statutory surplus would be decreased by $1,370,963 and $1,428,463 at September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Net income would increase by $32,344 for both the nine months ending September 30, 2017 and 2016.
The Department requires PIC and NBIC to maintain a minimum of $3,000,000 in statutory capital and surplus. Property and casualty insurance companies are subject to certain Risk-Based Capital (RBC) requirements as specified by the NAIC. Under those requirements, the amount of capital and surplus maintained by a property and casualty insurance company is to be determined based on the various risk factors related to it. At September 30, 2017 and 2016 both NBIC and PIC met their respective RBC requirements. Since 2005, PIC has been working with the Department in managing its run-off plan. Accordingly, PIC ceased writing new business in 2005 and has settled 565 of the 570 open occurrences. The Companys run-off plan is intended to honor all of its policy holder obligations while safeguarding its assets through effective claims management and sound investment practices. The Company has the appropriate staffing and other resources to handle all aspects of run-off, including claims, finance and corporate governance.
During 2011, PIC issued a surplus note to Service in the amount of $650,000. Interest on the surplus note is to be paid at a rate equal to LIBOR. The principal amount of the surplus note is payable upon the earlier of 1) PIC being reimbursed for net operating losses utilized in the NBICHI consolidated tax return or 2) December 31, 2017. On December 28, 2016 an allonge was attached to the surplus note extending the payable date from December 31, 2016 to December 31, 2017. In 2012, the Company issued an additional surplus note to Service in the amount of $500,000. Interest on the surplus note is to be paid at a rate equal to LIBOR. The principal amount of the surplus note is payable upon the earlier of 1) PIC being reimbursed for net operating losses utilized in the NBICHI consolidated tax return or 2) December 31, 2017. Principal and interest payments on the surplus notes are subject to approval from the Department. As of September 30, 2017, no interest or principal has been paid or accrued to date on either surplus note.
As of September 30, 2017 and 2016, PIC is in the position of being reimbursed for net operating losses utilized in the NBICHI consolidated tax return. Management notified the Department of this change and the Department indicated that the trigger of repayment of the surplus notes would be disallowed until at time in the future when the solvency status of PIC had improved significantly. At such time the Superintendent of Insurance of Rhode Island would re-visit PICs solvency status to ensure the result of such payment would not adversely affect such status in the present and near future.
In the event that PIC is subject to delinquency proceeding pursuant to the Rhode Island Insurers Rehabilitation and Liquidation Act, RIGL 27-14.3-1, then each of the surplus notes would be satisfied in accordance with the priority distribution set forth in RIGL 27-14.3-46.
NBIC may pay dividends from earnings without prior approval of the Department except as required under Rhode Island law. However, the RIDBR requires notification of such dividends prior to payment. PIC may not pay dividends without prior approval from the RIDBR. Neither NBIC nor PIC declared or paid any dividends during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

Note L - Contingent Liabilities and Commitments
The Company is named as a defendant in various legal actions arising primarily from claims made under its insurance policies and contracts. Those actions are considered by the Company in estimating its unpaid loss and loss adjustment expense reserves.

On November 28, 2017, the Company reached an agreement with AIG Specialty Insurance Company (AIGSIC, formerly AISLIC) to settle the assigned rights under the Companys SERP plan, whereby the Company will remit payment of $325,000 to AIGSIC, releasing the Company of liability in this matter.
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Act) was signed into law. We are in the process of analyzing the Act and its potential impact on NBIC. The Act changes the corporate tax rate structure from 15% to 35% on graduated scale, to a 21% flat tax, among other changes. The Act may also require us to remeasure our deferred tax items for the change in the tax rate, which would have an impact on the Companys net income during the first quarter of calendar year 2018. We cannot determine at this time the amount of any such remeasurements, or the full effects of the Act on NBICHIs business and financial results.
The State of Rhode Island Department of Business Regulation Insurance Division (the Department) approved the repayment of both PICs surplus notes to Service dated December 28, 2011 (2011) and December 28, 2012 (2012) in the amount of $650,000 and $500,000, respectively. Interest has been calculated at 1.19 percent and .84 percent on the 2011 and 2012 surplus notes, respectively, in accordance with the Departments approval notice. The total remit from PIC to Service effective December 29, 2017 was $697,119 and $521,315, for the 2011 and 2012 notes, respectively.

EXHIBIT 99.4
HERITAGE INSURANCE HOLDINGS, INC.
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On November 30, 2017, Heritage Insurance Holdings, Inc. (Heritage or the Company) completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding capital stock of NBIC Holdings, Inc. (NBIC), the parent company of Narragansett Bay Insurance Company, a leading specialty underwriter of personal residential insurance products and services in several states along the Eastern seaboard. The acquisition resulted in NBIC becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the Acquisition). The Company completed the NBIC Acquisition pursuant to the previously disclosed Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 8, 2017, by and among the Company, Gator Acquisition Merger Sub, Inc., NBIC and PBRA, LLC, in its capacity as Stockholder Representative (the Merger Agreement).
The purchase price for the Acquisition was $250 million, including $210 million in cash, plus 2,222,215 shares of the Companys common stock (the Stock Consideration) with an aggregate value of $40 million, subject to a post-closing book value adjustment. The Stock Consideration was issued at closing in an exempt private placement pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In accordance with the Merger Agreement, 687,802 shares from the Stock Consideration were placed into an escrow account to secure any amounts payable pursuant to the post-closing book value adjustment provisions.
The cash portion of the purchase price for the Acquisition was financed in part through the proceeds of the Companys offering of its 5.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2037 (the Convertible Notes), which was completed on August 16, 2017. In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, the Company repurchased $40 million of its common stock.
The underlying historical financial information of Heritage and NBIC presented below was derived from the Companys historical financial statements and NBICs historical financial statements filed herewith on this Form 8-K/A, as well as adjustments which management believes are reasonable to account for the Acquisition.
The pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and for the year ended December 31, 2016 assume that the Acquisition occurred on January 1, 2016. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2017 assumes the Acquisition occurred on September 30, 2017. The Company presents these pro forma condensed combined financial results for informational purposes only, and the pro forma financial statements are not necessarily indicative of what the combined companys results of operations or financial position would actually have been had the Acquisition been completed on the dates indicated. In addition, the pro forma condensed combined statements of income do not purport to project the future operating results of the combined company.
The tax rate used for these pro forma combined condensed financial statements is an estimated statutory tax rate. As a result, it will likely vary from the actual effective rate in periods subsequent to the completion of the Acquisition.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the following:
| The accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information; |
| NBICs consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto contained in Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 of this Form 8-K/A; |
| Heritages audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2016; and |
| Heritages condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto contained in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2017 |

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 Basis of Preparation
The historical consolidated financial statements have been adjusted in the pro forma condensed combined financial information to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the Acquisition, (2) factually supportable and (3) expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results.
The Company prepared the pro forma condensed combined statements of income under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with existing U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 805, Business Combinations. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the Company measured the total purchase price (consideration transferred) as described in Note 2, Consideration Transferred. The Company based the value of the underlying tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed on their respective estimated fair market values as of the balance sheet date, with any excess purchase price allocated to goodwill. The determination of the fair value of NBICs assets and liabilities requires extensive use of estimates and managements judgment. The Company will continue to evaluate information obtained up to and following the closing of the NBIC Acquisition, including during the measurement period, to update the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which may differ materially from these preliminary estimates.
The pro forma condensed combined statements of income are preliminary and have been prepared solely for the purpose of providing pro forma financial information prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting will occur, and these differences could have a material impact on the pro forma condensed combined financial information and the Companys future consolidated results of operations.
Acquisition-related transaction costs (e.g., investment banking, advisory, legal, valuation, and other professional fees) and certain merger-related costs and charges have not been included as a component of consideration transferred, as they must be expensed as incurred. Total transaction costs incurred for the year ended December 31, 2016 and the nine months ended September 30, 2017 are approximately $0 and $2.2 million, respectively. The Company estimates that it will incur transaction costs totaling approximately $6.5 million in connection with the Acquisition. The costs that the Company may ultimately incur could differ materially from this amount.
In order to prepare the pro forma condensed combined statements of income, the Company performed a preliminary review of NBICs accounting policies to identify significant differences. During the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, the Company did not become aware of any material differences, other than presentation of certain line items in the condensed combined statements of income and balance sheet, between the accounting policies of the Company and NBIC. The Company is currently conducting a detailed review of NBICs accounting policies to determine if differences in accounting policies require further adjustment or reclassification of NBICs presented results of operations, assets or liabilities to conform to the Companys accounting policies and classifications. As a result of that review, the Company may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two companies that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the pro forma condensed combined financial statements. For the purpose of aligning NBICs presentation of certain line items in the pro forma condensed combined statements of income and balance sheet to Heritages presentation, reclassification adjustments have been made to NBICs historical financial statements, as detailed below.

The pro forma condensed combined statements of income do not reflect the realization of any expected reinsurance or operational synergies from the Acquisition following the completion of the business combination. The pro forma condensed combined statements of income also do not include any adjustment for costs that may result from integration activities, as management has not completed its assessment of the costs, if any, associated with such activities. Significant costs may ultimately be recorded for other exit and integration activities.

(1) | NBICs historical amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs reflects the estimated continuing impact on the statements of income of the combined entity. As such, a pro forma adjustment for the amortization of VOBA over an estimated 12 month period has not been reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income presented. |
In addition, reflected in this adjustment is the derecognition of NBICs intangible assets of $0.4 million, which reflects the assets values as of September 30, 2017.
This adjustment also reflects the derecognition of transaction costs related to the Acquisition. Heritage estimates total transaction costs for the Acquisition will be approximately $6.5 million. The costs that Heritage may ultimately incur could differ materially from this amount. Transaction costs include fees for investment banking, advisory, legal, valuation, and other professional services. As the transaction costs will not have a continuing impact, Heritage has not shown the transaction costs in the pro forma statements of income. The pro forma statements of income remove $2.2 million in nonrecurring transaction costs from General & Administrative Expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Heritage reflects the remaining transaction costs in the pro forma balance sheet as of September 30, 2017 as an increase to Other Liabilities and a decrease to Retained Earnings.
b) | In connection with the Acquisition, the Company issued $136.8 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes to finance a portion of the cash component of the consideration paid to NBIC stakeholders. |
The interest expense adjustment reflects interest expense of $6.1 million and $9.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016, respectively, related to the Convertible Notes issued in connection with the Acquisition. The Companys historical financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 include interest expense of $1.3 million related to the Convertible Notes.
The amortization adjustment of $0.7 million and $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and for the year ended December 31, 2016, respectively, is to reflect amortization of capitalized costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes. The Companys historical financial statements as at September 30, 2017 include amortization of $0.1 million related to the Convertible Notes.

e) | Reflects cash consideration of $210 million, in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement governing the Acquisition. |
f) | Reflects the federal and state impact for combination balance sheet adjustments. Furthermore, reflects the impact of recording state taxes on historical results for the business combination. In addition, reflects an adjustment to reclassify deferred income taxes in order to present a net deferred taxes asset or liability on the balance sheet in accordance with U.S. GAAP. |

Note 5 Subsequent Debt Financing Considerations
The Company held a Special Meeting of Stockholders on December 1, 2017, at which the Companys stockholders approved, as required by Rule 312 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual, on the issuance of the Companys common stock upon conversion of the Convertible Notes. Pursuant to the approval, the Company will have the ability to settle the conversion option in shares of common stock, cash or a combination thereof. Upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, the Company intends to pay cash in respect of only the principal amount of the Convertible Notes being converted or (if lower) the conversion value thereof, and to settle any amounts in excess thereof in cash, shares of common stock or a combination thereof, at the Companys election.
Prior to receipt of stockholder approval, the Company recorded the fair value of the derivative liability on its balance sheet at fair value with changes in the fair values reflected in the consolidated statement of operations. As of September 30, 2017, the derivative liability was marked to fair value with a corresponding adjustment in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized a loss on change in the fair value totaling $6.9 million. The Company may recognize additional loss on a change in the fair value of the derivative liability as a result of fluctuations in the Companys stock price between September 30, 2017 and December 1, 2017, the date on which Stockholder approval was obtained, and such additional loss may be material.
Beginning December 1, 2017, the conversion option of the Convertible Notes qualifies for equity classification and will no longer be accounted for as a separate derivative instrument liability in accordance with applicable U.S. GAAP guidance. The following table reflects the impact of the stockholder approval on the pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2017, reclassifying the conversion option into shareholder equity.
