The model specifies, among other criteria, that revenue should be recognized when an entity transfers control of goods or services to a customer at the amount at which the entity expects to be entitled. The new standard will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years that begin after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of the new standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company&#8217;s consolidated financial statements.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:12px;text-align:justify;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In July 2013, the FASB issued a new standard that requires entities to present an unrecognized tax benefit as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, or similar tax loss or tax credit carryforward, rather than as a liability when the uncertain tax position would reduce the net operating loss or other carryforward under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction and when the entity intends to use the deferred tax asset for that purpose. The Company adopted the new standard which became effective for the interim period ended March 31, 2014. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on the Company&#8217;s consolidated financial statements.</font></div></div>

These estimates require the Company to apply complex assumptions and judgments, and often the Company must make estimates about effects of matters that are inherently uncertain and will likely change in subsequent periods. The most significant assumptions in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements relate to reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates (See Note 1 &#8220;Summary of Significant Accounting Policies&#8221; of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company&#8217;s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">December&#160;31, 2013</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">).</font></div></div>
