Commitments and Contingencies

(3) Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is subject to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. The Company believes that adequate provisions for the resolution of all contingencies, claims and pending litigation have been made for probable and estimable losses and that the ultimate outcome of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition but could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations in a given quarter or annual period.

The Company pays its pro rata share of the cost in connection with letters of credit for certain workers’ compensation and casualty claims incurred prior to March 31, 2000 that another carrier must maintain for insurance programs.  The pro rata share of these letters of credit was $1.8 million at March 31, 2016.
