RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Nine months ended
2020
We recorded a net loss of$704,043 for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 compared to a net loss of$11,290,334 for the same period in 2020. The decrease in net loss was mainly attributable to (i) the decrease in loss and loss adjustment expenses of$12,573,641 - from$14,078,405 for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020 to$1,504,764 for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 . (ii) the increase in net realized and unrealized gains on investments of$2,191,233 - from a$1,764,300 loss for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020 to a$426,933 gain for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 and (iii) the decrease in operating and management expenses of$1,319,978 - from$5,019,124 for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020 to$3,699,146 for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , as discussed below. The increase in net income was partially offset by a decrease in commission income of$1,885,946 - from$4,542,478 for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020 to$2,656.532 for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , as also discussed below. Our net premiums earned for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 were$2,581,408 compared to$8,947,710 for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020 , a decrease of$6,366,302 or 71.2%. Our net premiums earned were attributable to cessions from C&F under the Reinsurance Agreement. As noted above, the Company entered into the Commutation Agreement with C&F effectiveMarch 31, 2021 . No premiums subsequent to that date were ceded pursuant to the Reinsurance Agreement. Our net premium earned for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 represents our net premiums earned during the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 . Our net premium earned for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020 represents our net premiums earned during that nine month period. During the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded commission income under the Agency Agreement of$2,656,532 and$4,542,478 , respectively, a decrease of$1,885,946 or 41.5%. This decrease resulted from the lower volume of premiums written under the Agency Agreement during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 compared to the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020 , which is primarily attributable to theOctober 2020 notice from C&F to cease writing business in eight states under the Agency Agreement. We are currently brokering business with alternative carriers to write policies impacted by this directive. We recorded net investment income of$204,624 during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 compared to$308,279 for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020 . The decrease in net investment income was mainly attributable to a decrease in dividend income attributable to the decrease in equity investments held in our investment portfolio during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. The decrease in net investment income was partially offset by a decrease in investment expenses during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 as a result of a decrease in investment management fees, which is attributable to the aforementioned decrease in equity investments held in our investment portfolio. The annualized investment yield, calculated as total interest and dividends divided by the net average amount of total investments and cash and cash equivalents, was .9% for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , compared to the 1.2% yield earned for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020 . We recorded net realized and unrealized gains on investments of$426,933 during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 compared to net realized and unrealized losses on investments of$1,764,300 during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020 , an increase of$2,191,233 or 124.2%. InSeptember 2021 , the Company liquidated its entire investment in fixed income securities to fund the commitment to C&F under the Commutation Agreement. A$343,350 net gain was realized on the sale of these investments. The nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020 was significantly impacted by the unfavorable market conditions experienced during the period, which was attributable to the impact of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic on the worldwide economy. Our losses and loss adjustment expenses for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 were$1,504,764 compared to$14,078,405 for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020 , a decrease of$12,573,641 or 89.3%. For the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , we derived our loss and loss adjustment expenses (i) by multiplying our estimated loss ratio of 64.0% and the net premiums earned under the Reinsurance Agreement throughMarch 31, 2021 of$2,581,408 , which is the effective date of the Commutation Agreement and (ii) the recording of a$147,377 gain under the Commutation Agreement. The significant amount of loss and loss adjustment expenses recorded for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020 was attributable to higher than expected loss emergence on the Company's lawyers' book of business in accident years 2017, 2018 and 2019. 17 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We recorded policy acquisition costs of$1,405,774 during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 compared to$4,097,754 for the same period in 2020. Policy acquisition costs, which are primarily ceding commissions paid to the ceding insurer, are established as a percentage of premiums earned; therefore, any increase or decrease in premiums earned will result in a similar increase or decrease in policy acquisition costs, subject to any premium deficiency. The policy acquisition costs recorded during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 represents the net of (i)$955,122 , being 37% of the net premiums earned under the Reinsurance Agreement as atMarch 31, 2021 of$2,581,408 , which is the effective date of the Commutation Agreement and (ii) the reversal of the established premium deficiency reserve as atDecember 31, 2020 of$985,876 and the reversal of the remaining deferred policy acquisition cost balance of$1,436,528 , with both reversals being attributed to the Commutation Agreement. The policy acquisition costs recorded during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020 represented of (i)$3,310,595 , being 37% of the net premiums earned under the Reinsurance Agreement as atSeptember 30, 2021 of$8,947,710 and (ii) a premium deficiency reserve established atSeptember 30, 2020 in the amount of$787,159 . We incurred operating and management expenses of$3,699,146 during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 compared to$5,019,124 for the same period in 2020, a decrease of$1,319,978 or 26.3%. The decrease was primarily attributable to (i) decreased board and committee meetings related expenses due to the reduction in physical meetings held during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 as the result of travel restrictions imposed in relation to COVID-19, (ii) decreased salaries and related costs associated with Protexure's reduction in personnel during 2021 and 2020 in its effort to reduce overall costs and (iii) decreased net commissions paid to outside brokers in association with the Agency Agreement as a result lower volume of premiums obtained from outside brokers during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. The tables below summarize the results of the following AmerInst reportable segments: (1) reinsurance activity, which also includes investments and other activities, and (2) insurance activity, which offers professional liability solutions to professional service firms under the Agency Agreement with C&F.

Three months ended
We recorded a net loss of$955,112 for the three months ended September30, 2021 compared to a net loss of$8,277,992 for the same period in 2020. The decrease in the net loss was mainly attributable to (i) the decrease in loss and loss adjustment expenses of$11,811,206 - from$10,551,676 for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2020 to$(1,259,530) for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , (ii) the decrease in operating and management expenses of$457,287 - from$1,592,813 for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2020 to$1,135,526 for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , as discussed below. The decrease in net loss was partially offset by a decrease in commission income of$628,285 - from$1,437,181 for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2020 to$808,896 for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , as also discussed below. Our net premiums earned for the third quarter of 2021 were$(1,737,803) compared to$3,437,196 for the third quarter of 2020, a decrease of$5,174,999 or 150.6%. The net premiums earned during the quarters endedSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020 were attributable to cessions from C&F under the Reinsurance Agreement. Our premiums earned for the third quarter of 2021 represents the reversal of the second quarter cession as the result of the Commutation Agreement, which has an effective date ofMarch 31, 2021 . Our net premium earned for the third quarter of 2020 represents our net premiums earned during that three month period. For the quarters endedSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded commission income under the Agency Agreement of$808,896 and$1,437,181 respectively, a decrease of$628,285 or 43.7%. This decrease resulted from the lower volume of premiums written under the Agency Agreement during the quarter endedSeptember 30, 2021 compared to the quarter endedSeptember 30, 2020 , which is primarily attributable to theOctober 2020 notice from C&F to cease writing business in eight states under the Agency Agreement. We are currently brokering business with alternative carriers to write policies impacted by this directive. 18 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We recorded net investment income of$57,893 for the quarter endedSeptember 30, 2021 compared to$99,444 for the quarter endedSeptember 30, 2020 . The decrease in net investment income was attributable to a decrease in dividend income attributable to the decrease in equity investments held in our investment portfolio during the quarter endingSeptember 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. The decrease in net investment income was partially offset by a decrease in investment expenses during the quarter endedSeptember 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 as a result of a decrease in investment management fees, which is attributable to the aforementioned decrease in equity investments held in our investment portfolio. The annualized investment yield, calculated as total interest and dividends divided by the net average amount of total investments and cash and cash equivalents, was .8% for the quarter endedSeptember 30, 2021 , compared to the 1.2% yield earned for the quarter endedSeptember 30, 2020 . We recorded net realized and unrealized gains on investments of$344,852 during the quarter endedSeptember 30, 2021 compared to net realized and unrealized gains of$988,562 during the quarter endedSeptember 30, 2020 , a decrease of$643,710 or 65.1%. The net realized and unrealized gains on investments during the three months endedSeptember 30, 2021 was primarily attributable to the liquidation of the Company's entire investment in fixed income securities to fund the commitment to C&F under the Commutation Agreement. A$343,768 gain was realized on the sale of these investments. The net realized and unrealized gains on investments during the three months endedSeptember 30, 2020 was primarily related to the increase in the fair value of our equity investments due to favorable market conditions attributable to the unprecedented monetary and fiscal stimulus in theU.S. and around the world to counter the negative impact of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic on the worldwide economy. Our losses and loss adjustment expenses for the quarter endedSeptember 30, 2021 were$(1,259,530) compared to$10,551,676 for the quarter endedSeptember 30, 2020 , a decrease of$11,811,206 or 111.9%. Our losses and loss adjustment expenses for the third quarter of 2021 represents (i) the reversal of the second quarter cession under the Reinsurance Agreement as the result of the Commutation Agreement, which has an effective date ofMarch 31, 2021 and (ii) the recording of a$147,377 gain under the Commutation Agreement. The significant amount of losses and loss adjustment expenses recorded during the quarter endedSeptember 2020 was attributable to higher than expected loss emergence on the Company's lawyers' book of business in accident years 2017, 2018 and 2019. We recorded policy acquisition costs of$579,317 in the third quarter of 2021 compared to$2,058,923 for the same period in 2020. Policy acquisition costs, which are primarily ceding commissions paid to the ceding insurer, are established as a percentage of premiums earned; therefore, any increase or decrease in premiums earned will result in a similar increase or decrease in policy acquisition costs, subject to any premium deficiency. The policy acquisition costs recorded during the third quarter of 2021 represents the reversals of (i)$642,987 , being 37% of the net premiums earned under the Reinsurance Agreement during the second quarter of 2021 of$1,737,802 (ii) the reversal of the established premium deficiency reserve as atJune 30, 2021 of$214,224 and (iii) the reversal of the remaining deferred policy acquisition balance of$1,436,528 . The aforementioned reversals are attributable to the Commutation Agreement. The policy acquisition costs recorded during the quarter endedSeptember 30, 2020 represented of (i)$1,271,764 , being 37% of the net premiums earned under the Reinsurance Agreement as atSeptember 30, 2020 of$3,437,196 and (ii) a premium deficiency reserve established during the third quarter of 2020 in the amount of$787,159 . We incurred operating and management expenses of$1,135,526 in the third quarter of 2021 compared to$1,592,813 for the same period in 2020, a decrease of$457,287 or 28.7%. The decrease was primarily attributable to (i) decreased salaries and related costs associated with Protexure's reduction in personnel during 2021 and 2020 in its effort to reduce overall costs and (ii) decreased net commissions paid to outside brokers in association with the Agency Agreement as a result lower volume of premiums obtained from outside brokers during the third quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.

As ofSeptember 30, 2021 , the balance was$26,076,114 compared to$3,175,098 as ofDecember 31, 2020 . The increase to this balance is the result of the Commutation Agreement, under which$26,076,000 is payable fromAMIC Ltd. to C&F. Deferred policy acquisition costs, which represent the deferral of ceding commission expense related to premiums not yet earned, increased from$724,509 atDecember 31, 2020 to$0 atSeptember 30, 2021 .

The balance decreased from$3,689,620 atDecember 31, 2020 to$2,543,502 atSeptember 30, 2021 , a decrease of$1,146,118 or 31.1%. This balance fluctuates due to the timing of the premium payments to C&F and payments of professional fees.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our cash needs consist of (i) funding of our commitment to C&F under the Commutation Agreement and (ii) funding day-to-day operations.

The net decrease resulted primarily from cash outflows associated with the funding of our day-to-day operations and to the decrease in the fair value of our fixed income security portfolio prior to the aforementioned liquidation of this portfolio, due to the widening of credit spreads, partially offset by cash inflows derived from net investment activities. TheBermuda Monetary Authority has authorizedAMIC Ltd. to purchase our common shares, on a negotiated basis, from shareholders who have died or retired from the practice of public accounting.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our critical accounting policies are discussed in Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
incorporated herein by reference.
We have identified accounting for the liability for losses and loss adjustment expenses as our most critical accounting policy and estimate in that it is important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results, and it requires our subjective and complex judgment as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. This accounting policy, including the nature of the estimates and types of assumptions used, are described throughout this Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and Part II, Item 7.
