Captive Feasibility Study: We perform an analysis calculating historical and projected ultimate incurred loss and defense and cost containment expense (“DCCE”) ratios by year and in total based on historical program experience. The projected ultimate incurred loss and DCCE ratios will include the trending of losses to an effective date in the future and on-leveling of premiums. If historical data is not available, we will perform competitive analyses, based on publicly available information, to show that proposed rates are reasonable, not inadequate or excessive. We will also produce incremental loss payment patterns which will be used in proforma financials. Upon completion of the Feasibility Study, we will be available for any discussions with upper management, reinsurers and/or Departments of Insurance to explain our findings and results.
