Unico American's Comment on Competition and Industry Peers
Insurance Company and General Agency Operations (Property and Casualty)
The property and casualty markets in which the Company operates are highly competitive.
Property and casualty insurers generally compete on many factors, including
price, commission rates, consumer recognition, coverages offered, financial
stability, customer service and geographic coverage. Competition is also affected
by the pace of technological developments. An insurer’s ability to innovate,
develop and implement new applications and other technology can affect its competitive
position. The Company continues to invest in technology in order to compete
more effectively in the insurance marketplace. The marketplace is highly cyclical,
characterized by periods of high premium rates and shortages of underwriting
capacity followed by periods of severe price competition and excess underwriting
capacity.
The profitability of insurers is affected by many factors including premium
adequacy, the frequency and severity of claims, state regulations, interest
rates, general business conditions, and court decisions redefining and expanding
the extent of coverage. One of the challenging and unique features of the property
and casualty business is the fact that since premiums are collected before losses
are paid, its products are normally priced before its costs are known.
Insurance Premium Financing Operation
The insurance premium financing operation currently finances policies produced
only through its sister company, Unifax. Consequently, AAC’s growth is
primarily dependent on the growth of Crusader and Unifax business. Since July
2010, AAC has continued to offer 0% financing on policies produced by Unifax
for Crusader. The Company monitors the cost of providing this incentive; and,
depending on the cost/benefit determination, the Company can continue to offer
0% financing or withdraw it at any time.
Health Insurance Operation
The health insurance market is uncertain due to changes in healthcare insurance
mandated by recent federal legislation. AIB provides a variety of health and
life insurance products to individuals and groups. These same products are offered
by most of our competitors; thus service, reliability and stability are important
to obtain and retain customers.
