The amount of 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 and earned.  Certain of Montpelier’s assumed pro-rata contracts incorporate reinsurance protection provided by third-party reinsurers that inures to Montpelier’s benefit. These reinsurance premiums are reported as a reduction in gross premiums written and gross 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;">All of Montpelier’s reinsurance purchases to date have represented prospective cover, meaning that the coverage has been purchased to protect Montpelier against the risk of future losses as opposed to covering losses that have already occurred but have not yet been paid. Montpelier’s reinsurance contracts consist of excess-of-loss contracts covering one or more lines of business and 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 Montpelier’s 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. <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 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 reinsurer’s inability to pay.  Montpelier does not believe that there are any amounts uncollectible from its reinsurers as of the balance sheet dates presented.</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;">Earned reinsurance premiums ceded were $32.1 million and $29.7 million for the three month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $53.0 million and $53.3 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  Net increases in estimated ultimate reinsurance recoveries included in loss and LAE were $22.3 million and $10.3 million for the three month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $12.1 million and $6.5 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, 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 Montpelier’s 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 Montpelier’s reinsurance security policy, reinsurers are generally required to be rated “A-” (Excellent) or better by A.M. Best (or an equivalent rating with another recognized rating agency) at the time the policy is written. Montpelier also considers reinsurers that are not rated or do not fall within this threshold on a case-by-case basis if adequately collateralized.  Montpelier monitors the financial condition and ratings of its reinsurers on an ongoing basis. <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: 14pt; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; PADDING-TOP: 0in;">The A.M.
