The amount of ceded reinsurance that Montpelier buys varies from year to year depending on its risk appetite, as well as the availability and cost of the reinsurance coverage. Ceded reinsurance premiums are accounted for on a basis consistent with those used in accounting for the underlying premiums assumed, and are reported as a reduction of net premiums written. Certain of Montpeliers assumed pro-rata contracts incorporate reinsurance protection provided by third-party reinsurers that inures to Montpeliers benefit. These reinsurance premiums are reported as a reduction in gross premiums written.</div>   <div style="BORDER-BOTTOM: white 1pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: white 1pt solid; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; BORDER-TOP: white 1pt solid; BORDER-RIGHT: white 1pt solid; PADDING-TOP: 0in"> <p style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; TEXT-INDENT: 0.15in; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; PADDING-TOP: 0in">All of Montpelier's reinsurance purchases to date have represented prospective cover, meaning that the coverage has been purchased to protect us against the risk of future losses as opposed to covering losses that have already occurred but have not yet been paid. The majority of Montpelier's reinsurance contracts are excess-of-loss contracts covering one or more lines of business. Montpelier has also purchased pro-rata reinsurance with respect to specific lines of its business. Montpelier also purchases industry loss warranty (ILW) policies which provide coverage for certain losses incurred, provided they are triggered by events exceeding a specified industry loss size as well as Montpeliers own incurred loss. For non-ILW excess-of-loss reinsurance contracts, the attachment point and exhaustion of these contracts are based solely on the amount of Montpelier's actual losses incurred from an event or events.</div>   <div style="BORDER-BOTTOM: white 1pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: white 1pt solid; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; BORDER-TOP: white 1pt solid; BORDER-RIGHT: white 1pt solid; PADDING-TOP: 0in"> <p style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; TEXT-INDENT: 0.15in; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; PADDING-TOP: 0in">Montpelier remains liable for losses it incurs to the extent that any third-party reinsurer is unable or unwilling to make timely payments under reinsurance agreements.  Montpelier would also be liable in the event that its ceding companies were unable to collect amounts due from underlying third-party reinsurers. <p style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; TEXT-INDENT: 0.15in; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; PADDING-TOP: 0in">  <p style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; TEXT-INDENT: 0.15in; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; PADDING-TOP: 0in">Montpelier records provisions for uncollectible reinsurance recoverable when collection becomes unlikely due to the reinsurers inability to pay.  Montpelier does not believe that there are any amounts uncollectible from its reinsurers as of the balance sheet dates presented. <p style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; TEXT-INDENT: 0.15in; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; PADDING-TOP: 0in">  <p style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; TEXT-INDENT: 0.15in; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; PADDING-TOP: 0in">Earned reinsurance premiums ceded were $16.1 million and $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase in estimated ultimate reinsurance recoveries included in loss and LAE were $9.4 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Changes in estimated ultimate reinsurance recoveries are primarily the result of changes in the estimated gross losses incurred. In addition to loss recoveries, certain of Montpeliers ceded reinsurance contracts provide for recoveries of additional premiums, reinstatement premiums and for forgone no-claims bonuses, which are incurred when losses are ceded to these reinsurance contracts. <p style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; TEXT-INDENT: 0.15in; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; PADDING-TOP: 0in">  <p style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; PADDING-TOP: 0in">Reinsurance Recoverable on Paid and Unpaid Losses <p style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; PADDING-TOP: 0in">  <p style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; TEXT-INDENT: 0.15in; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; PADDING-TOP: 0in">Under Montpeliers reinsurance security policy, reinsurers are generally required to be rated A- (Excellent) or better by A.M.

If the Acquired Reserves were to develop unfavorably during future periods and the various protective arrangements, including GAINSCOs indemnity, ultimately proved to be insufficient, these liabilities would become the Companys responsibility. <p style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; TEXT-INDENT: 0.15in; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; PADDING-TOP: 0in">  <p style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; PADDING-TOP: 0in">Reinsurance Disputes <p style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; PADDING-TOP: 0in">  <p style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; TEXT-INDENT: 0.15in; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; PADDING-TOP: 0in">Montpelier is subject to litigation and arbitration proceedings in the normal course of its business.  These proceedings often involve reinsurance contract disputes which are typical for the reinsurance industry.  Expected or actual reductions in reinsurance recoveries due to contract disputes, as opposed to a reinsurers inability to pay, are not recorded as an uncollectible reinsurance recoverable. Rather, they are factored into the determination of Montpeliers net loss and LAE reserves. <p style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; TEXT-INDENT: 0.15in; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; PADDING-TOP: 0in">  <p style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; TEXT-INDENT: 0.15in; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; PADDING-TOP: 0in">As of March 31, 2011, Montpelier had no ongoing material insurance or reinsurance contract disputes. <p style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; TEXT-INDENT: 0.15in; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; PADDING-TOP: 0in">  <p style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; TEXT-INDENT: 0.15in; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; PADDING-TOP: 0in">During the second quarter of 2010, Montpelier Re favorably resolved, through arbitration, a dispute involving two reinsurance contracts (the Disputed Contracts) with Manufacturers Property and Casualty Limited (MPCL) that originated in 2007.  Montpelier Re subsequently received an award (the Award) equal to the sum of all outstanding paid reinsurance recoverables it was owed under the Disputed Contracts as of March 31, 2010, a portion of its defense costs associated with the proceedings and accrued interest on overdue amounts owed through the date of payment. <p style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; TEXT-INDENT: 0.15in; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; PADDING-TOP: 0in">  <p style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; TEXT-INDENT: 0.15in; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; PADDING-TOP: 0in">During the fourth quarter of 2010, Montpelier Re and MPCL further agreed to an early settlement (the Settlement) of all remaining paid and unpaid reinsurance recoverables outstanding under the Disputed Contracts. <p style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; TEXT-INDENT: 0.15in; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; PADDING-TOP: 0in">  <p style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; TEXT-INDENT: 10pt; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; PADDING-TOP: 0in">Montpelier Re received a total of $51.6 million from MPCL during the second, third and fourth quarters of 2010 in satisfaction of both the Award and the Settlement of which $46.4 million represented paid and unpaid reinsurance recoverables outstanding under the Disputed Contracts and $5.2 million represented reimbursable defense costs and accrued interest.</div></td></tr></table> NOTE 3.  Reinsurance With Third-Parties   In the normal course of business, Montpelier purchases reinsurance from third parties in order to managefalsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringThis element may be used as a single block of text to encapsulate the entire disclosure, including data and tables, pertaining to the existence, magnitude and information about insurance which has been ceded to or assumed from another insurance company, including the methodologies and assumptions used in determining recorded amounts.Reference 1: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher AICPA -Name Statement of Position (SOP) -Number 92-5 -Paragraph 19 Reference 2: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) -Number 113 -Paragraph 27, 120 Reference 3: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher SEC -Name Regulation S-X (SX) -Number 210 -Section 03 -Paragraph 6, 13 -Article 7 falsefalseReinsurance With Third-Parties12Reinsurance With Third-PartiesUnKnownUnKnownUnKnownUnKnownfalsetrue
