B.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial reporting and with the instructions to Form
10
-Q.  Accordingly, they do
not
include all the disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  As such, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form
10
-K, for the year ended
December 31, 2019
(the
“2019
10
-K”). Management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented
not
misleading, and all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position at
September 30, 2020
, and the results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries for all periods presented have been made. The results of operations for any interim period are
not
necessarily indicative of the operating results for a full year.
 
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. These amounts are inherently subject to change and actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

Note

– Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
in the
2019
10
-K. The Company maintains its status as an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of
2012
(the “JOBS Act”). We have taken advantage of the extended transition period provided by Section
107
of the JOBS Act. We decided to comply with the effective dates for financial accounting standards applicable to emerging growth companies later in compliance with the requirements in Sections
107
(b)(
2
) and (
3
) of the JOBS Act. Such decision is irrevocable.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
 
Certain risks and uncertainties are inherent to our day-to-day operations. Adverse changes in the economy could lower demand for our insurance products or negatively impact our investment results, both of which could have an adverse effect on the revenue and profitability of our operations. The COVID-
19
pandemic has resulted in, and is expected to continue to result in, significant disruptions in economic activity and financial markets. The cumulative effects of COVID-
19
on the Company, and the effect of any civil unrest or other public health outbreak, cannot be predicted at this time, but could reduce demand for our insurance policies, result in increased level of losses, settlement expenses or other operating costs, or reduce the market value of invested assets held by the Company.
