HISTORY

General

The Company was incorporated in Florida on March 1, 1989, and commenced business on April 6,

1989, as a stock property and casualty insurer. On June 29, 2007, the Company’s parent, Bristol

West Holdings, Inc. was acquired by Farmers Group, Inc. and re-sold to Farmers Insurance

Exchange (37.5%) Truck Insurance Exchange (8.75%) Fire Insurance Exchange (3.75%) and Mid-

Century Insurance Company (50%). In 2008, Farmer’s Insurance Exchange acquired an additional

(4.5%) ownership by purchasing 2.5% from Mid-Century Insurance Company and 2% from Truck

Insurance Exchange. The ultimate controlling persons of the holding company are Zurich Financial

Service Ltd. and Farmers Insurance Exchange.

The Company was authorized to transact the following insurance coverage in Florida on April 6,

1989 and continued to be authorized as of December 31, 2013:

Private Passenger Auto Physical Damage Private Passenger Auto Liability

who owned 100% of the stock issued by the Company. Bristol West is wholly owned by Farmers

Insurance Exchange, Fire Insurance Exchange and Truck Insurance Exchange (collectively the

Exchanges), and their subsidiary Mid-Century Insurance Company. On July 3, 2007, the

The Company, with its parent and affiliates, participated in a tax-sharing agreement amended and

restated effective September 1, 2013, whereby any tax liability or benefit is computed on a

separate tax return basis, as if each member filed its return separately. Farmers Insurance

Exchange (FIE) is the party primarily responsible for filing and making all tax payments on behalf of

the Company and FIE’s other subsidiaries. Intercompany balances are settled monthly and the

final settlement is made within thirty days after the filing date of the consolidated return.

Agency Agreement

The Company entered into an Agency Agreement with Bristol West Insurance Services, Inc. of

Florida on July 10, 1998. Effective October 1, 2012, the agreement was terminated and

superseded with the current Agency Agreement. The Company appointed Bristol West Insurance

Services, Inc. of Florida to represent it for the production and servicing of all lines of insurance the

Company is authorized to write, for which rates, policies and forms have been filed with the Office.

The Company did not disclose that a $25 per policy fee was being charged in its Agency

Agreement with its affiliate Bristol West Insurance Services, Inc. of Florida, which is not in

compliance with Section 626.7451 (11) Managing General Agents; required contract provisions,

Florida Statutes. Fees incurred under this agreement during 2013 amounted to $19,254,945.

10

Service Agreement

Effective March 1, 2010, the Company entered into a service agreement with FIE, whereby FIE

provided various services to the Company as necessary for the Company to discharge its

obligations to its policyholders, shareholders, and regulators. This agreement broadly

encompasses, claims adjustment services, investment management services, preparation of

insurance policies, billing and collections, and other administrative services. The agreement

continues in force for a term of five years and will automatically renew, unless otherwise terminated

within the guidelines of the agreement. Fees incurred under this agreement during 2013 amounted

to $19,159,674.

Quota Share Reinsurance Agreement

Effective December 31, 2010, the Company entered into a new quota share reinsurance

agreement with FIE. Under this agreement, the Company agreed to cede 100% of its net business,

as well as 100% of its net unearned premium reserves.

FIDELITY BOND AND OTHER INSURANCE

The Company maintained fidelity bond coverage up to $10,000,000 with a deductible of

$1,000,000 which reached the suggested minimum as recommended by the NAIC.

The Company also maintained commercial general liability, commercial umbrella excess liability,

other liability policies, executive liability and indemnification insurance, excess directors' and

officers' coverage, auto coverage and fiduciary liability insurance.

11

The Company established procedures for handling written complaints in accordance with Section

626.9541(1) (j), Florida Statutes. The Company maintained a claims procedure manual that

COMPANY GROWTH

The Company has continued to utilize its affiliated insurance agency, Bristol West Insurance

Services, Inc. of Florida, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Bristol West, a member of the

Zurich holding company. The Company's gross written premium decreased from 2011 through

2013, due largely to the decrease in writings in Texas, which continued in run-off, but also due

to decreases in writings in Florida. Net premium remained at zero, due to the 100% quota share

reinsurance agreement with FIE. Capital and surplus over the examination period was stable,

with decreases due to net losses that were offset in part by changes in non-admitted assets.
