Conventional valuation analyses can demonstrate how investors might want to review how an insurance company is valued.

Insider/Affiliate Holdings:

In 2016, Company insiders and affiliates have not liquidated any of its holdings nor have taken any cash salary compensation for the preservation of the shareholder value. Common Shares Issued and Outstanding: direct from Company filings at OTC Markets
