Acceptance Insur 3rd Quarter Crop Insur Underwriting,Operating Loss $62 Million
Friday November 15, 5:50 pm ET

WASHINGTON -(Dow Jones)- Acceptance Insurance Cos. said it recorded a loss of about $62.2 million from crop insurance underwriting and operations for the three months ended Sept. 30.
According to a regulatory filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission Friday, the loss was primarily because of a widespread drought and other abnormal growing conditions throughout the company's area of operations.

"The company is reviewing the potential effects of the estimated third quarter financial results in terms of the need to reduce the value of its goodwill and deferred taxes, as well as various other costs. In addition, the company continues to discuss strategic transactions," it said in the filing.

The company said its property and casualty underwriting operations, now in runoff, generated an estimated loss of $6.1 million, including an addition to previous reserves of $5.4 million.

Acceptance Insurance said its assessment of the third-quarter loss and the resulting impact throughout the company would delay the filing of its quarterly report with the SEC.

Omaha-based Acceptance Insurance provides specialized crop, property and casualty insurance products throughout the U.S

Why pick up AIF

Look under above from RMA for an business report for 2002.
Compare with 2000.
Bottom line is that loss ratio for combined business has actually decreased compared to that of year 2000.
Consider this.
AIF made 50 million net profit in 2000. (reported in SEC) yet premiums written were less than half of year 2002 premiums written.
Therefore with more than double the premiums written AIF will make a net profit way over 50 million. Isn't is obvious why there will be buying or merging interest in AIF. Stock value ( market cap) grossly understates the true value and future potential.
Does these bashers know that you have to buy a license to provide this insurance in each state?
