Management Commentary
- “As the first Nasdaq-listed company to issue a tokenized security in reinsurance…we are proud of our progress and remain focused on expanding SurancePlus” .
- “Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash…increased by $3.7 million…primarily due to premium deposits…as well as the completion of a registered direct offering that generated $2.7 million net of expenses” .

- “We are well positioned to capitalize on this growth…leveraging our expertise and first-mover advantage” .
Q&A Highlights
- Tokenized securities marketing and TAM capture: Management sees strong conference-driven adoption; even a minuscule share of the potential $30T market would be “a game changer” .

- Florida reinsurance market: AOB/OIR changes supportive; “so far, we have not been affected” though risk remains for high-yield layers; balanced token reduces risk .
- Plume MOU mechanics: Viewed as a “very good distribution channel” with broader ecosystem ties (Midnight, BitGo) and strict SEC compliance .

- Distribution catalyst: Plume MOU offers access to a large on-chain user base; expect progress on token launches and marketing over the next 3–6 months .

- Medium-term thesis: execution on token distribution partnerships and maintaining underwriting quality in Florida should drive revenue consistency and incremental margin gains as scale improves .
