$AOREF Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 - American Overseas Group Limited Announces Net Loss Of $3.0 Million and Operating Loss of $2.4 Million For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2021
Press Release | 09/30/2021
HAMILTON, Bermuda, Sept. 30, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- American Overseas Group Limited (BSX: AORE.BH) (Pink Sheets: AOREF.PK) (“AOG” or the “Company”) today reported consolidated net loss available to common shareholders of $3.0 million, or $63.75 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2021. This compares to consolidated net loss available to common shareholders of $1.4 million, or $30.97 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Book value per weighted share at June 30, 2021 was $1,003.21 a decline from the book value per weighted share of $1,112.19 at June 30, 2020.

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company had an operating loss of $2.4 million, or $51.26 per diluted share, compared to an operating loss of $20.7 million, or $443.09 per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The financial guaranty segment ended in April of 2020 due to a commutation of the remaining portfolio of financial guaranty reinsurance business it had assumed from Assured Guaranty Municipal Corp (“AGMC”). The aggregate outstanding par value of the reinsurance portfolio commuted was $345.0 million.

For the three months ended June 30, net earned property and casualty premiums increased $1.5 million from $4.1 million a year ago to $5.6 million, driven by an increase in existing and new programs. Fee income increased 28.6% from $2.1 million to $2.7 million driven by an increase in gross written premiums year over year of $27.8 million, moving from $86.9 million to $114.7 million. Quarterly direct written premiums were positively impacted by continued expansion of new programs in Texas and other key states as well as overall economic recovery, causing volume increases in the personal auto market. Loss and loss adjustment expenses as a percentage of earned premium increased from 51.2% to 66.0%.

For the three months ended June 30, operating expenses increased $2.1 million from $2.8 million to $4.9 million primarily due to a one-time recognition of items previously held as a receivable against a personal guarantee contract. This contract is associated with a managing general agency program that was discontinued in the first quarter of 2020. Each quarter, the Company evaluates the collectability of the receivable, and has determined there to be a significant risk to collectability in the near term. The Company no longer holds a receivable balance for the matter in question, but continues to vigorously pursue its interests to recover expenses owed under the personal guarantee contract.

As part of its ongoing capital management efforts, the Company will continue to redirect excess capital within the group to debt reduction unless other compelling opportunities present themselves.

$AOREF Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2019 - American Overseas Group Limited Announces Net Loss Of $3.7 Million and Operating Loss of $9.1 Million For the Year Ended December 31, 2019
Press Release | 06/26/2020
HAMILTON, Bermuda, June 26, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- American Overseas Group Limited (BSX: AORE.BH) (Pink Sheets: AOREF.PK) (“AOG” or the “Company”) today reported consolidated net loss available to common shareholders of $3.7 million, or $80.13 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2019. This compares to consolidated net loss available to common shareholders of $3.2 million, or $69.12 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2018.

The results for the year were driven by losses in the Company’s financial guaranty segment related to commuted policies and Puerto Rico related credits. Book value per share at December 31, 2019 was $1,159.08, a decline from the book value per share of $1,212.83 at December 31, 2018.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company had an operating loss of $9.1 million, or $196.78 per diluted share, compared to an operating loss of $0.6 million, or $11.97 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2018. Operating income for the property and casualty segment in 2019 was $0.9 million, compared to the $2.9 million operating income in 2018 for this segment. The financial guaranty segment had operating losses of $11.0 million for 2019, compared to financial guaranty operating losses of $4.5 million for 2018.

Net earned property and casualty premiums increased $6.4 million from $2.4 million in 2018 to $8.8 million in 2019, driven by the addition of new agency relationships. Loss and loss adjustment expenses as a percentage of earned premiums improved slightly, 44.9% to 41.9% driven by both current and prior accident year results. Operating income in the property and casualty segment decreased $2.0 million primarily due to increase in acquisition costs resulting from significant increases in written premium.

The legacy financial guaranty portfolio of American Overseas Reinsurance Company Limited (“AORE”) continued to run-off satisfactorily. The financial guaranty operating loss of $11.0 million in 2019 is driven by net losses associated with the commutation of $1.065 billion of outstanding par during the second quarter of 2019, as well as unfavorable development on outstanding losses. As of December 31, 2019, outstanding par within the financial guaranty segment is $362 million compared to $1.474 billion at December 31, 2018.

AORE entered into a Commutation Agreement, effective April 1, 2020, to commute the remaining portfolio of financial guaranty reinsurance business it had assumed from Assured Guaranty Municipal Corp (“AGMC”). The aggregate outstanding par value of the reinsurance portfolio being commuted was $345.0 million as of April 1, 2020, therefore eliminating the financial guaranty reinsurance business at AORE.

Operating expenses of $13.6 million in 2019 were comparable to 2018 of $13.4 million.

As part of its ongoing capital management efforts, the Company will continue to redirect excess capital within the group to debt reduction unless other compelling opportunities present themselves.

Sure.

I'll give you some oversight and suggest you read some of the older Yahoo Board postings.

RAMR is a reinsurance company who elected not to be listed to save money. They also cut back on the number of Directors for same reason. They announced in their 2009 Annual that they are in "run off." This has been repeated in a release.

Their employees, with the exception of one, have been hired by a company that is managing RAMR at no cost. The management company is controlled by the major shareholder Steven Tynan who effectively controls with other insiders and past insiders 67% of the shares. Insiders had been buying heavily up until the time RAMR no longer had to report such activities.

In May of 2010 they signed a 3 year lease on their offices in Bermuda.

Their BV is about $3.80 currently. They have been benefiting by the actions of FGIC. Also buying in their notes and pfd at discounts. If the trend continues, it is estimated they could have a BV near $5.00.

The steady increase in share price is due to a tightening of the float (about 8M), the increase in BV and the prospects of either a liquidation or merger more than likely sometime within 2 years.

They reported a nice profit in the 1st Qtr of 2010 and the 2nd Qtr report, due last week, has been delayed until early November. They recently changed auditors but that does not necessarily signal either positive or negative.

On a personal level, this is the single largest investment I own.

Again, more detail can be garnered going to their website or reviewing the Yahoo Board.

can you give me insight into this stock. i like the look of the chart as slow and steady upwards.

2nd Qtr report due Oct 4th.

Be interesting to see if they have made any progress with the tendering by FGIC and also internally.

VI ... are you still in this fantastic stock?

Ralph

This Board has been inactive yet this is one of the most exciting investment opportunities I have experienced.

Small float, about $8MM shares as insiders own 69% and largest insider could thru one of its affiliates buy out the company.

Also last company reports indicate "winding down." Latest BV was $2.85 and there are several scenarios that could impact that such as buying pfd at a discount to par and commuting outstanding insurance obligations at a reduced level to exposure.

The two principal officers, both very large shareholders, have tendered their resignations effective May 14th. There have been significant changes in the number of directors and composition of the Board. Counsel resigned Fall of last year. Company issued a statement a while back that they would make a statement on May 6th. So lots happening.

My personal belief is distirbution of BV to common and sale of "shell" with its licenses to sell re-insurance intact to one of the larger insiders.

Shares have been creeping up to new support levels since $.11.

Anybody out there interested can also look at the Yahoo Board which is more current and active.

Up 113 % very nice

they're not writing any new insurance now and the value here will depend on the failure rate of the loans they currently insure.
they have some capital and this may turn out well if their portfolio of assets is stable.

i believe they are moving to Bahamas exchange and the money flow/regulatory oversight there is much less than the USA, so saving fees otherwise paid to NASDAQ comes at the price of lower liquidity, lesser ability to raise capital and much less disclosure to common shareholders.

company is not going BK or any type of chapter, only going to a new exchange to save money. They seem to think NASDAQ is too much money..... company PPS wayyyy oversold and undervalued. This price is for BK companies and RAM is not going BK, only relocation .

RAMR will be de-registered on 05/14/2009. Could that mean the share
cancellation? Why no one cares about such big event? That will hurt
the stock price significantly! Tried to call the CEO and no answer.

Why threr are endless supply between $0.095 and $0.11? Dilution?

RAMR is already bottomed out $0.095 and it will rally to as high as
$0.2 today. Buy at the ask price only & as many shares as you can!

The after-hour session is very interesting: $0.0971 x $0.1001 then
$0.1001 x $0.12. I bet tomorrow we will see $0.19 ~ $0.2 before the
delisting (from NASDAQ) news which will be released on 05/04/2009.

out 2day even...em

Someone sold about 25,000 shares at $0.11 in yesterday's after-hour session which is a half penny lower than yesterday's closing price. Why? They should be easily selling them at $0.115 or higher before
the market closing. Did MMs do this on purpose or manipulation?

This is also listed on the Bermuda Stock Exchange BSX.

Power hour is here,I think we close @ .13

Although the Company currently expects that the Board of Directors will approve such deregistration and suspension, there can be no assurance that the Board of Directors will do so.

I think most of the information is current,and up to date.see new holdings below.

That information are too old and are useless at all because since then the whole market and economy had changed significantly. Why
did not they buy any share between $0.1 and $0.2 if the insiders
are not dumping the shares to the market?

This is what you call a slow death, and the smart ones (if you can call them that) are making money the whole way down.

RAM Holdings Ltd. Announces Intent to Voluntarily Delist its Common SharesLast update: 4/24/2009 8:30:01 AMHAMILTON, Bermuda, Apr 24, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- RAM Holdings Ltd. (RAMR) (the "Company") announced today that it has notified the Nasdaq Stock Market of its intent to voluntarily delist its common shares from the Nasdaq Global Market, and that the Company anticipates that its Board of Directors (the "Board") will approve the deregistration of its common shares under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and suspension of its obligations to file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The decision of the Board to delist was based on the consideration of numerous factors, including (1) the low trading volume in the common shares, (2) the low market capitalization of the common shares, (3) the limited analyst coverage of the common shares, and (4) the necessity of delisting as a preliminary step to deregistering the common shares under the Exchange Act and suspending the Company's obligation to file reports with the SEC, should the Board approve such deregistration and suspension. The Board made this determination after extensive deliberations, advice of the Company's financial and legal advisors and careful consideration of the advantages and disadvantages of no longer being a public company. The Company anticipates that it will file with the SEC a Form 25 relating to the delisting of its common shares on or about May 4, 2009, with the delisting of its common shares to be effective ten days thereafter. Accordingly, the Company anticipates that the last day of trading of its common share on the Nasdaq Global Market will be Thursday, May 14, 2009. In addition, the Company anticipates that the Board will approve the deregistration of the common shares under the Exchange Act and the suspension of the obligation to file reports with the SEC at the next meeting of the Board, which is currently scheduled to be held on May 12, 2009. The additional factors the Board has been considering in connection with the proposed deregistration and suspension include: (1) the disproportionately large costs of preparing and filing periodic reports with the SEC, (2) the substantial accounting, audit, legal and other costs and expenses associated with being a public company, particularly due to the Sarbanesa^'Oxley Act of 2002, and (3) the additional demands placed on management and Company personnel to comply with requirements required of registrants. Although the Company currently expects that the Board will approve such deregistration and suspension, there can be no assurance the Board will do so. If the Board approves the deregistration of the common shares and the suspension of the obligation to file reports as discussed above, on the effective date of the delisting, the Company would file a Form 15 to deregister its common shares under Section 12 of the Exchange Act. The Company is eligible to delist and deregister because it has fewer than 300 record holders of its common shares. Upon the filing of the Form 15, the Company's obligation to file certain reports with the SEC, including Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, would immediately be suspended. The Company expects that the deregistration of its common shares would become effective 90 days after the date the Form 15 is filed with the SEC. If the Board approves such deregistration and suspension, the Company intends to continue reporting its quarterly and annual financial results in press releases and on its website, and to report to its shareholders in accordance with Bermuda law and its Bye-laws. The Company has applied to the Bermuda Stock Exchange (the "BSX") to convert its secondary listing to a primary listing effective upon the delisting of its common shares from the Nasdaq Global Market and intends to comply with the reporting requirements of the BSX. In addition, the Company anticipates that its common shares will be quoted on the Pink Sheets, a centralized electronic quotation service for over-the-counter securities. However, the Company can provide no assurance that market makers will make a market in its common shares or that trading of its shares will continue on the BSX, Pink Sheets or any other forum.

As I predicted the pos scam hit $0.159 today and the current year's
low $0.151 will be broken today or tomorrow. Sell ASAP before that!

Sell ASAP before the pos scam breaks down $0.15 because very soon it will be delisted and all the common shares will be canceled.

The pos scam is on the death spire. Very soon the new low $0.08 is
going to be created once the delist news is released (very soon)...

When will the pos scam go to the Pink Sheets? Sell ASAP before RAMR
breaks down $0.15. CH11 is another possibility in the short term.

resistance levels were 2.34 and 2.61 both broken up to 3.00, so show me the blue skies... baby!

'silent mode' because of only 4 boardmarks, lol

3.00+ not bad, money making in the 'silent mode'

It's trading very bullish?

here we go,housing sales up
