1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Oxbridge Re Holdings Limited (the “Company”) was incorporated as an exempted company on April 4, 2013 under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Oxbridge Re Holdings Limited owns 100% of the equity interest in Oxbridge Reinsurance Limited, an exempted entity incorporated on April 23, 2013 under the laws of the Cayman Islands and for which a Class “C” Insurer’s license was granted on April 29, 2013 under the provisions of the Cayman Islands Insurance Law. Oxbridge Re Holdings Limited also owns 100% of the equity interest in Oxbridge Re NS, an entity incorporated as an exempted company on December 22, 2017 under the laws of the Cayman Islands to function as a reinsurance sidecar facility and to increase the underwriting capacity of Oxbridge Reinsurance Limited. The Company, through its subsidiaries (collectively “Oxbridge Re”) provides collateralized reinsurance in the property catastrophe market and invests in various insurance-linked securities. The Company operates as a single business segment through its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company’s headquarters and principal executive offices are located at Suite 201, 42 Edward Street, Georgetown, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, and have their registered offices at P.O. Box 309, Ugland House, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands.

The Company’s ordinary shares and warrants are listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbols “OXBR” and “OXBRW,” respectively.

The accompanying unaudited, consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules for interim financial reporting. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, in the opinion of management, the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2022 and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The consolidated results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for any subsequent interim period or for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in the Company’s Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 30, 2022.

In preparing the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements, management was required to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures at the financial reporting date and throughout the periods being reported upon. Certain of the estimates result from judgments that can be subjective and complex and consequently actual results may differ from these estimates, which would be reflected in future periods.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near-term relate to the fair value of the Company’s investment in Oxbridge Acquisition Corp., and the determination of the reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses (if any), which may include amounts estimated for claims incurred but not yet reported. The Company uses various assumptions and actuarial data it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances to make these estimates. In addition, accounting policies specific to valuation of investments involve significant judgments and estimates material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Although considerable variability is likely to be inherent in these estimates, management believes that the amounts provided are reasonable. These estimates are continually reviewed and adjusted if necessary. Such adjustments are reflected in current operations.

1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Continued)

The Company consolidates in these consolidated financial statements the results of operations and financial position of all voting interest entities (“VOE”) in which the Company has a controlling financial interest and all variable interest entities (“VIE”) in which the Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary. The consolidation assessment, including the determination as to whether an entity qualifies as a VIE or VOE, depends on the facts and circumstances surrounding each entity.

All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash and cash equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash and short- term investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Restricted cash and cash equivalents: Restricted cash and cash equivalents represent funds held in accordance with the Company’s trust agreements with ceding insurers and trustees, which requires the Company to maintain collateral with a market value greater than or equal to the limit of liability, less unpaid premium.

Investments: The Company from time to time invests in fixed-maturity securities and equity securities, and for which its fixed-maturity securities are classified as available-for-sale. The Company’s available for sale fixed-maturity securities are carried at fair value with changes in fair value included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity. For the Company’s investment in equity securities, and for the Company’s investment in the special purpose acquisition company Oxbridge Acquisition Corp. classified as “other investments”, the changes in fair value are recorded within the consolidated statements of operations.

Unrealized gains or losses are determined by comparing the fair market value of the securities with their cost or amortized cost. Realized gains and losses on investments are recorded on the trade date and are included in the consolidated statements of operations. The cost of securities sold is based on the specified identification method. Investment income is recognized as earned and discounts or premiums arising from the purchase of debt securities are recognized in investment income using the interest method over the remaining term of the security.

Fair value measurement: GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under GAAP are as follows:

OXBRIDGE RE HOLDINGS LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

September 30, 2022

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Fair value measurement (continued)

Inputs are used in applying the various valuation techniques and broadly refer to the assumptions that market participants use to make valuation decisions, including assumptions about risk. For fixed maturity securities, inputs may include price information, volatility statistics, specific and broad credit data, liquidity statistics, broker quotes for similar securities and other factors. The fair value of investments in stocks and exchange-traded funds is based on the last traded price. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. However, the determination of what constitutes “observable” requires significant judgment by the Company’s investment custodians and management. The investment custodians consider observable data to be market data which is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant markets.

Deferred policy acquisition costs (“DAC”): Policy acquisition costs consist of brokerage fees, federal excise taxes and other costs related directly to the successful acquisition of new or renewal insurance contracts and are deferred and amortized over the terms of the reinsurance agreements to which they relate. The Company evaluates the recoverability of DAC by determining if the sum of future earned premiums and anticipated investment income is greater than the expected future claims and expenses. If a loss is probable on the unexpired portion of policies in force, a premium deficiency loss is recognized.

Reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses: The Company determines its reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses, if any, on the basis of the claims reported by the Company’s ceding insurers and for losses incurred but not reported (“IBNR”), management uses the assistance of an independent actuary, if needed. The reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses represent management’s best estimate of the ultimate settlement costs of all losses and loss adjustment expenses. Management believes that the amounts are adequate; however, the inherent impossibility of predicting future events with precision, results in uncertainty as to the amount which will ultimately be required for the settlement of losses and loss expenses, and the differences could be material. Adjustments are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations in the period in which they are determined.

Loss experience refund payable: Certain contracts may include retrospective provisions that adjust premiums or result in profit commissions in the event losses are minimal or zero. In accordance with GAAP, the Company will recognize a liability in the period in which the absence of loss experience obligates the Company to pay cash or other consideration under the contracts. On the contrary, the Company will derecognize such liability in the period in which a loss experience arises. Such adjustments to the liability, which accrue throughout the contract terms, will reduce the liability should a catastrophic loss event covered by the Company occur.

Premiums assumed: The Company records premiums assumed, net of loss experience refunds, as earned pro-rata over the terms of the reinsurance agreements, or period of risk, where applicable, and the unearned portion at the consolidated balance sheet date is recorded as unearned premiums reserve. A reserve is made for estimated premium deficiencies to the extent that estimated losses and loss adjustment expenses exceed related unearned premiums. Investment income is not considered in determining whether or not a deficiency exists.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Subsequent adjustments of premiums assumed, based on reports of actual premium by the ceding companies, or revisions in estimates of ultimate premium, are recorded in the period in which they are determined. Such adjustments are generally determined after the associated risk periods have expired, in which case the premium adjustments are fully earned when assumed.

Certain contracts allow for reinstatement premiums in the event of a full limit loss prior to the expiration of the contract. A reinstatement premium is not due until there is a full limit loss event and therefore, in accordance with GAAP, the Company records a reinstatement premium as written only in the event that the reinsured incurs a full limit loss on the contract and the contract allows for a reinstatement of coverage upon payment of an additional premium. For catastrophe contracts which contractually require the payment of a reinstatement premium equal to or greater than the original premium upon the occurrence of a full limit loss, the reinstatement premiums are earned over the original contract period. Reinstatement premiums that are contractually calculated on a pro-rata basis of the original premiums are earned over the remaining coverage period.

Unearned Premiums Ceded: The Company may reduce the risk of future losses on business assumed by reinsuring certain risks and exposures with other reinsurers (retrocessionaires). The Company remains liable to the extent that any retrocessionaire fails to meet its obligations and to the extent that the Company does not hold sufficient security for their unpaid obligations.

Ceded premiums are written during the period in which the risk incept and are expensed over the contract period in proportion to the period of protection. Unearned premiums ceded consist of the unexpired portion of the reinsurance obtained. There were no unearned premiums ceded at September 30, 2022.

Uncertain income tax positions: The authoritative GAAP guidance on accounting for, and disclosure of, uncertainty in income tax positions requires the Company to determine whether an income tax position of the Company is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the relevant tax authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. For income tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the tax amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements, if any, is reduced by the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant taxing authority. The application of this authoritative guidance has had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements because the Company had no uncertain tax positions at September 30, 2022.

(Loss) Earnings Per Share: Basic (loss) earnings per share has been computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted (loss) earnings per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding and reflects the assumed exercise or conversion of diluted securities, such as stock options and warrants, computed using the treasury stock method.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Stock-Based Compensation: The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the fair value recognition provisions of GAAP which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation for all stock-based awards made to employees and directors, including stock options and restricted stock issuances based on estimated fair values. The Company measures compensation for restricted stock based on the price of the Company’s ordinary shares at the grant date. Determining the fair value of stock options at the grant date requires significant estimation and judgment. The Company uses an option-pricing model (Black-Scholes option pricing model) to assist in the calculation of fair value for stock options. When estimating the expected volatility, the Company takes into consideration the historical volatility of entities similar to itself. The Company considers factors such as an entity’s industry, stage of life cycle, size and financial leverage when selecting similar entities. The Company may use a sample peer group of companies in the reinsurance industry and/or the Company’s own historical volatility in determining the expected volatility.

Additionally, the Company uses the guidance in the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 to determine the estimated life of options issued and has assumed no forfeitures during the life of the options.

The Company uses the straight-line attribution method for all grants that include only a service condition. Compensation expense related to all awards is included in general and administrative expenses.

Pending Accounting Updates:

Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurements of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 amends the guidance on reporting credits losses and affects loans, debt securities, trade receivables, reinsurance recoverable and other financial assets that have the contractual right to receive cash. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022 (as amended), and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the requirements of ASU 2016-13 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Segment Information: Under GAAP, operating segments are based on the internal information that management uses for allocating resources and assessing performance as the source of the Company’s reportable segments. The Company manages its business on the basis of one operating segment, Property and Casualty Reinsurance, in accordance with the qualitative and quantitative criteria established under GAAP.

Reclassifications: Any reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made to conform to the current period presentation.

Other Investments

In connection with Oxbridge Acquisition Corp. (“OXAC”) initial public offering (“IPO”) in August 2021, the Company’s affiliate OAC Sponsor Ltd. (“Sponsor”) purchased an aggregate 4,897,500 private placement warrants from OXAC (“Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per warrant. Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one of OXAC’s Class A ordinary share at a price of $ 11.50 per share, and as such meets the definition of a derivative as outlined within ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The Sponsor also purchased an aggregate of 2,875,000 of OXAC’s Class B ordinary shares (the “Class B shares”) par value $0.0001 per share for $25,000. The Class B shares and Private Placement Warrants were issued to and are held by Sponsor. The Class B shares of OXAC held by Sponsor will automatically convert into shares of OXAC’s Class A ordinary shares on a one-for- one basis at the time of OXAC’s initial business combination and are subject to certain transfer restrictions.

On August 11, 2021, the Company acquired an aggregate of 1,500,000 ordinary shares and 3,094,999 preferred shares of Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $2,000,000. In connection with the organization of Sponsor, the Company placed approximately 34.7% of the risk capital and owns approximately 49.6% and 63.1% of the ordinary shares and preferred shares, respectively, of the Sponsor (the “Sponsor Equity Interest”). The preferred shares of Sponsor are nonvoting shares and generally entitle the holders thereof to receive the net proceeds, if any, received by Sponsor from the sale, exchange, or disposition of the Private Placement Warrants or the shares issuable upon the exercise thereof, and the ordinary shares of Sponsor (which are voting shares in Sponsor) are equivalent to the value of the Class B Shares of OXAC held by Sponsor.

The registration statement for OXAC’s IPO was declared effective on August 11, 2021 and on August 16, 2021, OXAC consummated the IPO with the sale of 11,500,000 units (the “Units”) at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $115,000,000. The Units trade on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the ticker symbol “OXACU”. After the securities comprising the units began separate trading on October 1, 2021, the Class A ordinary shares and public warrants were listed on NASDAQ under the symbols “OXAC” and “OXACW,” respectively.

The Company’s beneficial interests in OXAC’s Class B shares and the Private Placement Warrants are recorded at fair value and are classified in “Other Investments” on the consolidated balance sheets. The fair value calculation of the Company’s beneficial interest in OXAC’s Class B shares and Private Placement Warrants is dependent on company- specific adjustments applied to the observable trading prices of OXAC Class A shares and public warrants. The Company’s management estimates that a specific discount of 30% sufficiently captures the risk or profit that a market participant would require as compensation for (i) the lack of marketability of the Company’s beneficial interests in the OXAC, and (ii) assuming the inherent risk of forfeiture and default if a business combination doesn’t occur within OXAC’s stipulated time frame. At December 31, 2021, the Company had selected a discount of 30% based on fair value measurements by an independent valuation expert, and due to the unobservable nature of this company-specific adjustment, the Company classifies the Other Investment as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Subsequent changes in fair value will be recorded in the consolidated statement of operations during the period of the change. At September 30, 2022, management determined the discount rate of 30% was reasonable due to no significant variations in the lack of marketability of the securities at December 31, 2021 through to present. Additionally, management concludes that with respect to OXAC, there is reduced inherent risk of forfeiture and reduced default probability due to OXAC’s additional extension through to August 16, 2023, as well as the reduced size of the OXAC’s trust account, allowing more time and a significantly wider universe of potential targets for OXAC’s business combination. See also Note 16.

4. INVESTMENTS (Continued)

As a result of the re-measurement of our investment in OXAC, we recognize for the nine-months ended September 30, 2022, an unrealized loss on other investments of $986,000 within our consolidated statement of operations.

Other investments as of September 30, 2022 consist of the following (in thousands):

 SCHEDULE OF OTHER INVESTMENT 

If OXAC does not complete a business combination by August 16, 2023, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants (after OXAC IPO transaction costs) will be used to fund the redemption of the shares sold in the OXAC IPO (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the Private Placement Warrants will expire without value. The Sponsor holds approximately 20% of the total ordinary shares (Class A and Class B) in OXAC along with the 4,897,500 Private Placement Warrants, and OXAC is managed by the Company’s executive officers.

The Company’s cost basis in these securities is $2 million, which is at risk of loss if a business combination is not consummated.

Assets Measured at Estimated Fair Value on a Recurring Basis (Continued)

At December 31, 2021, the Company utilized the services of an independent valuation expert (“Valuation Expert”) to determine the fair value of the Company’s indirect investment in OXAC. The Valuation Expert observed that the Class A shares of OXAC trades in a relatively liquid market at the measurement date, and the Company’s share of OXAC’s Class B shares were convertible to OXAC’s Class A Shares on a 1 to 1 basis. The Valuation Expert applied this ratio to the value of OXAC’s Class A shares and then applied an additional 30% discount to account for the lack of marketability and the inherent risk of forfeiture should a business combination not occur. At September 30, 2022, management determined the discount rate of 30% was reasonable due to no significant variations in the lack of marketability of the securities at December 31, 2021 through to present. Additionally, management concludes that with respect to OXAC, there is reduced inherent risk of forfeiture and reduced default probability due to OXAC’s additional extension through to August 16, 2023, as well as the reduced size of the OXAC’s trust account, allowing more time and a significantly wider universe of potential targets for OXAC’s business combination.

Historically, the Black-Scholes option pricing model was used by management to determine the fair value of the Company’s beneficial interest in OXAC’s private placement warrants with a strike price of $11.50. Inherent in a Black-Scholes option pricing model are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. However, due to the sensitivity of these assumptions, and recent changes in the interest-rate and overall economic environment, management has observed that at September 30, 2022, the estimates derived from the Black-scholes option pricing model used for the private placement warrants valuation, significantly exceeded the exchange-traded price for the OXAC’s public warrants. As such, management has utilized the public warrants price to value the private placement warrants and have applied such change in accounting estimate in the current period, and prospectively.

The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 3 fair value measurements inputs for private placement warrants at their measurement dates:

5. TAXATION

Under current Cayman Islands law, no corporate entity, including the Company and the subsidiaries, is obligated to pay taxes in the Cayman Islands on either income or capital gains. The Company and Oxbridge Reinsurance Limited have an undertaking from the Governor-in-Cabinet of the Cayman Islands, pursuant to the provisions of the Tax Concessions Law, as amended, that, in the event that the Cayman Islands enacts any legislation that imposes tax on profits, income, gains or appreciations, or any tax in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax, such tax will not be applicable to the Company and Oxbridge Reinsurance Limited or their operations, or to the ordinary shares or related obligations, until April 23, 2033 and May 17, 2033, respectively.

The Company and its subsidiaries intend to conduct substantially all of their operations in the Cayman Islands in a manner such that they will not be engaged in a trade or business in the U.S. However, because there is no definitive authority regarding activities that constitute being engaged in a trade or business in the U.S. for federal income tax purposes, the Company cannot assure that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service will not contend, perhaps successfully, that the Company or its subsidiary is engaged in a trade or business in the U.S. A foreign corporation deemed to be so engaged would be subject to U.S. federal income tax, as well as branch profits tax, on its income that is treated as effectively connected with the conduct of that trade or business unless the corporation is entitled to relief under an applicable tax treaty.

6. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

Oxbridge Re NS. On December 22, 2017, the Company established Oxbridge Re NS, a Cayman domiciled and licensed special purpose insurer, formed to provide additional collateralized capacity to support Oxbridge Reinsurance Limited’s reinsurance business. In respect of the participating notes issued by Oxbridge Re NS to investors, Oxbridge Re NS has entered into a retrocession agreement with Oxbridge Reinsurance Limited effective June 1, 2020. Under this agreement, Oxbridge Re NS receives a quota share of Oxbridge Reinsurance Limited’s catastrophe business. Oxbridge Re NS is a non-rated insurer and the risks have been fully collateralized by way of funds held in trust for the benefit of Oxbridge Reinsurance Limited. Oxbridge Re NS is able to provide investors with access to natural catastrophe risk backed by the distribution, underwriting, analysis and research expertise of Oxbridge Re.

The Company has determined that Oxbridge Re NS meets the definition of a VIE as it does not have sufficient equity capital to finance its activities. The Company concluded that it is the primary beneficiary and has consolidated the subsidiary upon its formation, as it owns 100% of the voting shares, 100% of the issued share capital and has a significant financial interest and the power to control the activities of Oxbridge Re NS that most significantly impacts its economic performance. The Company has no other obligation to provide financial support to Oxbridge Re NS. Neither the creditors nor beneficial interest holders of Oxbridge Re NS have recourse to the Company’s general credit.

6. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES (Continued)

Upon issuance of a series of participating notes by Oxbridge Re NS, all of the proceeds from the issuance are deposited into collateral accounts, to fund any potential obligation under the reinsurance agreements entered into with Oxbridge Reinsurance Limited underlying such series of notes. The outstanding principal amount of each series of notes generally is expected to be returned to holders of such notes upon the expiration of the risk period underlying such notes, unless an event occurs which causes a loss under the applicable series of notes, in which case the amount returned is expected to be reduced by such noteholder’s pro rata share of such loss, as specified in the applicable governing documents of such notes. In addition, holders of such notes are generally entitled to interest payments, payable annually, as determined by the applicable governing documents of each series of notes.

Oxbridge Re Holdings Limited receives an origination and structuring fee in connection with the formation, operation and management of Oxbridge Re NS.

In addition, holders of such notes are generally entitled to interest payments, payable annually, as determined by the applicable governing documents of each series of notes.

Notes Payable to Series 2020-1 noteholders

Oxbridge Re NS entered into a retrocession agreement with Oxbridge Reinsurance Ltd on June 1, 2020 and issued $216 thousand of participating notes which provides quota share support for Oxbridge Re’s global property catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance business. The participating notes have been assigned Series 2020-1 and are due to mature on June 1, 2023. None of the participating notes were redeemed during the three and nine-month periods ending September 30, 2022. No new participating notes were issued during the periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021

The income from Oxbridge Re NS operations that are attributable to the participating notes noteholders for the three and nine-month ended September 30, 2022 was $0 and $43,000, respectively, and is included within accounts payable and other liabilities at September 30, 2022. The income from Oxbridge Re NS operations that are attributable to the participating note holders for the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2021 was $24,000 and $66,000, respectively, and are included within accounts payable and other liabilities at September 30, 2021.

7. RESERVE FOR LOSSES AND LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSES

The following table summarizes the Company’s loss and loss adjustment expenses (“LAE”) and the reserve for loss and LAE reserve movements for the three and nine-month periods ending September 30, 2022 and 2021:

SCHEDULE OF LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSE 

When losses occur, the reserves for losses and LAE are typically comprised of case reserves (which are based on claims that have been reported) and IBNR reserves (which are based on losses that are believed to have occurred but for which claims have not yet been reported and include a provision for expected future development on existing case reserves). The Company uses the assistance of an independent actuary in the determination of IBNR and expected future development of existing case reserves.

The uncertainties inherent in the reserving process and potential delays by cedants and brokers in the reporting of loss information, together with the potential for unforeseen adverse developments, may result in the reserve for losses and LAE ultimately being significantly greater or less than the reserve provided at the end of any given reporting period. The degree of uncertainty is further increased when a significant loss event takes place near the end of a reporting period. Reserve for losses and LAE estimates are reviewed periodically on a contract-by-contract basis and updated as new information becomes known. Any resulting adjustments are reflected in income in the period in which they become known.

The Company’s reserving process is highly dependent on the timing of loss information received from its cedants and related brokers.

The losses incurred during the three and nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 related to a first limit loss suffered by the Company as a result of underwriting exposure to Hurricane Ian, which made landfall in Florida on September 28, 2022.

8. (LOSS) EARNINGS PER SHARE

A summary of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share is presented below (dollars in thousands except per share amounts):

SCHEDULE OF COMPUTATION OF BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE 

For the three-month and nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, options to purchase 896,250 ordinary shares were anti-dilutive due to net loss during the period presented. For the three-month and nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, options to purchase 896,250 ordinary shares were anti-dilutive due to the sum of the proceeds, including unrecognized compensation expense, exceeded the average market price of the Company’s ordinary share during the period presented

For the three-month and nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, 8,230,700 warrants to purchase an aggregate of 8,230,700 ordinary shares were anti-dilutive due to the net loss during the period presented. For the three-month and nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, 8,230,700 warrants to purchase an aggregate of 8,230,700 ordinary shares were anti-dilutive because the exercise price of $7.50 exceeded the average market price of the Company’s ordinary share during the periods presented

GAAP requires the Company to use the two-class method in computing basic (loss) earnings per share since holders of the Company’s restricted stock have the right to share in dividends, if declared, equally with common stockholders. These participating securities effect the computation of both basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share during periods of net (loss) income.

9. WARRANTS

There were 8,230,700 warrants outstanding at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. One warrant may be exercised to acquire one ordinary share at an exercise price equal to $7.50 per share on or before March 26, 2024. The Company at its option may cancel the warrants in whole or in part, provided that the closing price per ordinary share has exceeded $9.38 for at least ten trading days within any period of twenty consecutive trading days, including the last trading day of the period. No warrants were exercised during the three and nine -month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

10. DIVIDENDS

As of September 30, 2022, none of the Company’s retained earnings were restricted from payment of dividends to the company’s shareholders. However, since most of the Company’s capital and retained earnings may be invested in its subsidiaries, a dividend from the subsidiaries would likely be required in order to fund a dividend to the Company’s shareholders and would require notification to the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (“CIMA”).

Under Cayman Islands law, the use of additional paid-in capital is restricted, and the Company will not be allowed to pay dividends out of additional paid-in capital if such payments result in breaches of the prescribed and minimum capital requirement.

11. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company currently has outstanding stock-based awards granted under the 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”) and the 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) (hereinafter collectively referred to as “the Plans”). Under each of the Plans, the Company has discretion to grant equity and cash incentive awards to eligible individuals, including the issuance of up to 1,000,000 of the Company’s ordinary shares. During the period ended September 30, 2022, the Company granted 32,000 restricted stock to directors under the 2021 Plan. At September 30, 2022, there were 968,000 shares and 27,750 shares available for grant under the 2021 Plan and the 2014 Plan, respectively.

Stock options

Stock options granted and outstanding under the Plan vests quarterly over four years and are exercisable over the contractual term of ten years.

A summary of the stock option activity for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 is as follows:

SUMMARY OF STOCK OPTION ACTIVITY 

Compensation expense recognized for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 totaled $15,000 and $13,000, respectively and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, totaled $44,000 and $43,000 respectively Compensation expense is included in general and administrative expenses. At September 30, 2022 and 2021, there was approximately $71,000 and $125,000, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock options granted under the Plans. The Company expects to recognize the remaining compensation expense over a weighted-average period of twenty (20) months.

11. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION (Continued)

Stock options (Continued)

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021 the Company granted 400,000 options (of which 43,750 was subsequently forfeited) with fair value estimated on the date of grant using the following assumptions and the Black-Scholes option pricing model:

SCHEDULE OF ESTIMATED FAIR VALUE OF OPTIONS GRANTED

At the time of the grant, the dividend yield was based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts at the time of the grant; expected volatility was based on volatility of similar companies’ common stock; the risk-free rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect.

The Company examined its historical pattern of option exercises in an effort to determine if there were any pattern based on certain employee populations. From this analysis, the Company could not identify any patterns in the exercise of options. As such, the Company used the guidance in the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 to determine the estimated life of options issued.

Restricted Stock Awards

The Company may grant restricted stock awards to eligible individuals in connection with their service to the Company. The terms of the Company’s outstanding restricted stock grants may include service, performance and market-based conditions. The fair value of the awards with market-based conditions is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation method, which calculates many potential outcomes for an award and then establishes fair value based on the most likely outcome. The determination of fair value with respect to the awards with only performance or service-based conditions is based on the value of the Company’s stock on the grant date.

During the period ended September 30, 2021, no restricted stock awards were granted. Information with respect to the activity of unvested restricted stock awards during the period ended September 30, 2022 is as follows (share amounts not in thousands):

SCHEDULE OF ACTIVITY OF UNVESTED RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS 

Restricted stock awards (Continued)

Compensation expense recognized for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 totaled $17,000 and $52,000, respectively, and is included in general and administrative expenses. There was no compensation expense related to restricted stock awards for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021. At September 30, 2022, there was approximately $210,000 unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock granted under the Plan, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of thirty-eight (38) months.

12. NET WORTH FOR REGULATORY PURPOSES

The subsidiaries are subject to a minimum and prescribed capital requirement as established by CIMA. Under the terms of their respective licenses, Oxbridge Reinsurance Limited and Oxbridge Re NS are required to maintain a minimum and prescribed capital requirement of $500 in accordance with the relevant subsidiary’s approved business plan filed with CIMA.

At September 30, 2022, the Oxbridge Reinsurance Limited’s net worth of $8.26 million exceeded the minimum and prescribed capital requirement. For the three and nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, the Subsidiary’s net loss was approximately $2.26 million and $2.53 million, respectively.

At September 30, 2022, the Oxbridge Re NS’ net worth of $155 thousand exceeded the minimum and prescribed capital requirement. For the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022, the Subsidiary’s net income was approximately $5 thousand and $11 thousand, respectively.

The Subsidiaries are not required to prepare separate statutory financial statements for filing with CIMA, and there were no material differences between the Subsidiaries’ GAAP capital, surplus and net (loss) income, and its statutory capital as of September 30, 2022 or for the period then ended.

13. FAIR VALUE AND CERTAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Fair values

With the exception of balances in respect of insurance contracts (which are specifically excluded from fair value disclosures under GAAP) and investment securities as disclosed in Note 4 of these consolidated financial statements, the carrying amounts of all other financial instruments, which consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest and dividends receivable, premiums receivable and other assets, notes payable and accounts payable and other liabilities, approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.

Concentration of underwriting risk

A substantial portion of the Company’s current reinsurance business ultimately relates to the risks of a limited number of entities; accordingly, the Company’s underwriting risks are not significantly diversified.

Concentrations of Credit and Counterparty Risk

The Company markets retrocessional and reinsurance policies worldwide through its brokers. Credit risk exists to the extent that any of these brokers may be unable to fulfill their contractual obligations to the Company. For example, the Company is required to pay amounts owed on claims under policies to brokers, and these brokers, in the Company. In some jurisdictions, if a broker fails to make such a payment, the Company might remain liable to the ceding company for the deficiency. In addition, in certain jurisdictions, when the ceding company pays premiums for these policies to brokers, these premiums are considered to have been paid and the ceding insurer is no longer liable to the Company for those amounts, whether or not the premiums have actually been received.

The Company remains liable for losses it incurs to the extent that any third-party reinsurer is unable or unwilling to make timely payments under reinsurance agreements. The Company would also be liable in the event that its ceding companies were unable to collect amounts due from underlying third-party reinsurers.

The Company mitigates its concentrations of credit and counterparty risk by using reputable and several counterparties which decreases the likelihood of any significant concentration of credit risk with any one counterparty.

Market risk

Market risk exists to the extent that the values of the Company’s monetary assets fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices. Changes in market prices can arise from factors specific to individual securities or their respective issuers, or factors affecting all securities traded in a particular market. Relevant factors for the Company are both volatility and liquidity of specific securities and markets in which the Company holds investments. The Company has established investment guidelines that seek to mitigate significant exposure to market risk.

14. LEASES

Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are disclosed as line in the consolidated balance sheet. We determine if a contract contains a lease at inception and recognize operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments at the commencement date. As our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. Lease agreements that have lease and non-lease components, are accounted for as a single lease component. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company has two operating lease obligations namely for the Company’s office facilities located at Suite 201, 42 Edward Street Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands and residential space at Turnberry Villas in Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands. The office lease has a remaining lease term of approximately seventeen (17) months and includes an option to extend the lease. Under the terms of the lease, the Company also has the right to terminate the lease after thirty-six (36) months upon giving appropriate notice in writing to the Lessor. The residential lease has a remaining lease term of approximately three (3) months.

The components of lease expense and other lease information as of and during the nine -month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 are as follows:

During the years ended December 31, 2021, Jay Madhu received $12 thousand return on the investment. The principal balance is included in notes payable at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

We evaluate all subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure in our consolidated financial statements. Below are other events subsequent to September 30, 2022 for which disclosure was required.

On November 9, 2022, the OXAC held an extraordinary general meeting (the “EGM”) of shareholders. At the EGM, the OXAC’s shareholders were presented the proposals to extend the date by which OXAC must consummate a business combination from November 16, 2022 to August 16, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by OXAC’s Board) by amending OXAC’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”). The Extension Amendment Proposal to amend OXAC’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (“Charter Amendment”) was approved.

In connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Sponsor has agreed to contribute to OXAC a loan of $575,000 (the “Extension Loan”), to be deposited into OXAC Trust Account to extend the Termination Date from November 16, 2022 to August 16, 2023. On November 14, 2022, the Company subscribed for additional ordinary shares in the Sponsor for an amount of $285,000, representing the Company’s pro-rata portion of the Extension Loan. As such, the Company’s Sponsor Equity Interest remained at approximately 49.6% and 63.1% of the ordinary shares and preferred shares, respectively, of the Sponsor.

We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward -looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward -looking statements which speak only to the dates on which they were made.

GENERAL

The following is a discussion and analysis of our results of operations for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 and our financial condition as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 30, 2022. References to “we,” “us,” “our,” “our company,” or “the Company” refer to Oxbridge Re Holdings Limited and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Oxbridge Reinsurance Limited and Oxbridge Re NS, unless the context dictates otherwise.

Overview and Trends

We are a Cayman Islands specialty property and casualty reinsurer that provides reinsurance solutions through our reinsurance subsidiaries, Oxbridge Reinsurance Limited and Oxbridge Re NS. Oxbridge Re NS functions as a reinsurance sidecar which increases the underwriting capacity of Oxbridge Reinsurance Limited. Oxbridge Re NS issues participating notes to third party investors, the proceeds of which are utilized to collateralize Oxbridge Reinsurance Limited’s reinsurance obligations. We focus on underwriting fully collateralized reinsurance contracts primarily for property and casualty insurance companies in the Gulf Coast region of the United States, with an emphasis on Florida. We specialize in underwriting medium frequency, high severity risks, where we believe sufficient data exists to analyze effectively the risk/return profile of reinsurance contracts.

We underwrite reinsurance contracts on a selective and opportunistic basis as opportunities arise based on our goal of achieving favorable long-term returns on equity for our shareholders. Our goal is to achieve long-term growth in book value per share by writing business that generates attractive underwriting profits relative to the risk we bear. Additionally, we intend to complement our underwriting profits with investment profits on an opportunistic basis. Our underwriting business focus is on fully collateralized reinsurance contracts for property catastrophes, primarily in the Gulf Coast region of the United States. Within that market and risk category, we attempt to select the most economically attractive opportunities across a variety of property and casualty insurers. As we attempt to grow our capital base, we expect that we will consider further growth opportunities in other geographic areas and risk categories.

Our level of profitability is primarily determined by how adequately our premiums assumed and investment income cover our costs and expenses, which consist primarily of acquisition costs and other underwriting expenses, claim payments and general and administrative expenses. One factor leading to variation in our operational results is the timing and magnitude of any follow-on offerings we undertake (if any), as we are able to deploy new capital to collateralize new reinsurance treaties and consequently, earn additional premium revenue. In addition, our results of operations may be seasonal in that hurricanes and other tropical storms typically occur during the period from June 1 through November 30. Further, our results of operations may be subject to significant variations due to factors affecting the property and casualty insurance industry in general, which include competition, legislation, regulation, general economic conditions, judicial trends, and fluctuations in interest rates and other changes in the investment environment.

Because we employ an opportunistic underwriting and investment philosophy, period-to-period comparisons of our underwriting results may not be meaningful. In addition, our historical investment results may not necessarily be indicative of future performance. Due to the nature of our reinsurance and investment strategies, our operating results will likely fluctuate from period to period.

Compared to most of our competitors, we are small and have low overhead expenses. We believe that our expense efficiency, agility and existing relationships support our competitive position and allows us to profitably participate in lines of business that fit within our strategy. Over time we expect our expense advantage to erode as the industry acts to reduce frictional costs.

Recent Developments

Oxbridge Acquisition Corp.

On August 16, 2021, Oxbridge Acquisition Corp. (“Oxbridge Acquisition” or “the SPAC”), a Cayman Islands special purpose acquisition company in which the Company has an indirect investment through its wholly-owned licensed reinsurance subsidiary Oxbridge Reinsurance Limited (“OXRE”), announced the closing of an initial public offering of units (“Units”). In the initial public offering, Oxbridge Acquisition sold an aggregate of 11,500,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per unit, resulting in total gross proceeds of $115,000,000. Each Unit consisted of one Class A ordinary share and one redeemable warrant, with each warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share of Oxbridge Acquisition at a price of $11.50 per share.

The initial public offering of Oxbridge Acquisition was sponsored by OAC Sponsor Ltd. (“Sponsor”). In connection with Oxbridge Acquisition’s initial public offering, Sponsor purchased from Oxbridge Acquisition, simultaneous with the closing of the initial public offering, an aggregate of 4,897,500 warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant ($4,897,500 in the aggregate) in a private placement (the “Private Placement Warrants”). Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share of Oxbridge Acquisition at $11.50 per share. In addition, Sponsor holds 2,875,000 shares of the Class B ordinary shares of Oxbridge Acquisition, representing 20% of the outstanding shares of Oxbridge Acquisition (the “Class B Shares”).

In connection with the organization of Sponsor, OXRE placed approximately 34.7% of the risk capital and owns approximately 49.6% and 63.1% of the ordinary shares and preferred shares, respectively, of the Sponsor (the “Sponsor Equity Interest”). The preferred shares of Sponsor are nonvoting shares and generally entitle the holders thereof to receive the net proceeds, if any, received by Sponsor from the sale, exchange, or disposition of the Private Placement Warrants or the shares issuable upon the exercise thereof, and the ordinary shares of Sponsor (which are voting shares in Sponsor) will generally be equivalent to the value of the Class B Shares of Oxbridge Acquisition held by Sponsor.

On August 11, 2021, OXRE entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Sponsor (the “Initial Share Purchase Agreement”) under which OXRE purchased the Sponsor Equity Interest for an aggregate purchase price of $2,000,000. Under the Initial Share Purchase Agreement, OXRE acquired an aggregate of 1,500,000 ordinary shares and 3,094,999 preferred shares of Sponsor.

On November 14, 2022, OXRE entered into a Second Share Purchase Agreement with Sponsor (the “Second Share Purchase Agreement”) under which OXRE acquired an additional 285,000 ordinary shares of Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $285,000.

The preferred shares of Sponsor generally entitle the holders thereof to receive the net proceeds, if any, received by Sponsor from the sale, exchange, or disposition of the Private Placement Warrants or the shares issuable upon the exercise thereof, and the ordinary shares of Sponsor are equivalent to the value of the Class B Shares of Oxbridge Acquisition held by Sponsor. In addition to the foregoing, the Initial Share Purchase Agreement and the Second Share Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and covenants.

PRINCIPAL REVENUE AND EXPENSE ITEMS

Revenues

We derive our most significant revenues from three principal sources:

Premiums Assumed

Premiums assumed include all premiums received by a reinsurance company during a specified accounting period, even if the policy provides coverage beyond the end of the period. Premiums are earned over the term of the related policies. At the end of each accounting period, the portion of the premiums that are not yet earned are included in the unearned premiums reserve and are realized as revenue in subsequent periods over the remaining term of the policy. Our policies typically have a term of twelve months. Thus, for example, for a policy that is written on July 1, 2022, typically one-half of the premiums will be earned in 2022 and the other half will be earned during 2023. However, in the event of limit losses on our policies, premium recognition will be accelerated to match losses incurred in the period, when there is no possibility of any future treaty-year losses under the contracts.

Premiums from reinsurance on property and casualty business assumed are directly related to the number, type and pricing of contracts we write.

Premiums assumed are recorded net of change in loss experience refund, which consists of changes in amounts due to the cedants under two of our reinsurance contracts. These contracts contain retrospective provisions that adjust premiums in the event losses are minimal or zero. We recognize a liability pro-rata over the period in which the absence of loss experience obligates us to refund premiums under the contracts, and we will derecognize such liability in the period in which a loss experience arises. The change in loss experience refund is negatively correlated to loss and loss adjustment expenses described below.

Investment Income

Income from our investments is primarily comprised of net realized and unrealized gains (losses) interest income and dividends on investment securities. Such income is primarily from the Company’s investments, which includes other investments in Oxbridge Acquisition Corp. and investments held in trust accounts that collateralize the reinsurance policies that we write. The investment parameters for trust accounts are generally be established by the cedant for the relevant policy.

Administrative Services Agreement

Commencing on the effective date of the SPAC’s IPO, the Sponsor agreed to pay the Company a total of up to $10,000 per month, through to November 16, 2022, for office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative support to the Sponsor and the SPAC. Upon completion of the SPAC’s initial Business Combination or the SPAC’s liquidation, the Sponsor will cease paying these monthly fees. For the period ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded other income of $90,000.

Expenses

Our expenses consist primarily of the following:

Loss and Loss Adjustment Expenses

Loss and loss adjustment expenses are a function of the amount and type of reinsurance contracts we write and of the loss experience of the underlying coverage. As described below, loss and loss adjustment expenses are based on the claims reported by our Company’s ceding insurers, and may include an actuarial analysis of the estimated losses, including losses incurred during the period and changes in estimates from prior periods. Depending on the nature of the contract, loss and loss adjustment expenses may be paid over a period of years.

Policy Acquisition Costs and Underwriting Expenses

Policy acquisition costs and underwriting expenses consist primarily of brokerage fees, ceding commissions, premium taxes and other direct expenses that relate to our writing of reinsurance contracts. We amortize deferred acquisition costs over the related contract term.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist of salaries and benefits and related costs, including costs associated with our professional fees, rent and other general operating expenses consistent with operating as a public company.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following is our consolidated statement of operations and performance ratios for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts):
