We may not be able to successfully alleviate risk through reinsurance and retrocessional arrangements. Additionally, we may be unable to collect all amounts due from our reinsurers under our existing reinsurance and retrocessional arrangements. Our loss reserves may be inadequate to cover our ultimate liability for losses and as a result our financial results could be adversely affected.

Our debt, preferred stock and related service obligations could adversely affect our business. Our investment portfolio may suffer reduced returns or losses which could adversely affect our results.
