Reinsurance
12. Reinsurance    
The Company reinsures its business through a diversified group of reinsurers (“reinsurance ceded”) and assumes certain business by entering into agreements with third-party insurers (“reinsurance assumed”). Under reinsurance ceded transactions, the Company remains liable to the extent its reinsurers do not meet their obligations under the reinsurance agreements. The Company monitors trends in arbitration and any litigation outcomes with its reinsurers. Collectability of reinsurance balances is evaluated by monitoring ratings and the financial strength of its reinsurers.
The effect of reinsurance on the applicable line items on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations is as follows:
