Our representatives and we may from time to time make written or oral statements that are "forward-looking," including statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, reports to our stockholders and news releases. All statements that express expectations, estimates, forecasts or projections are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Act. In addition, other written or oral statements which constitute forward-looking statements may be made by us or on our behalf. Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," "projects," "forecasts," "may," "should," variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions which are difficult to predict. These risks may relate to, without limitation:

there is limited historical information available for investors to evaluate Rineon’s performance or a potential investment in its shares;

Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in or suggested by such forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date hereof. Readers should carefully review the factors described herein and in other documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Annual Reports on Form 10-K, and any Current Reports on Form 8-K filed by us.

In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless the context otherwise requires:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009
 
1.           ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Rineon Group, Inc. f/k/a Jupiter Resources Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 15, 2006, and that is the inception date. The Company was an Exploration Stage Company as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 7 "Accounting and Reporting for Development Stage Enterprises". The Company acquired a mineral claim located in British Columbia, Canada in March 2007. On May 14, 2008, the claim was forfeited due to nonpayment of renewal fees.

As previously reported by the Company on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 14, 2009 (the “Form 8-K”), on May 14, 2009 the Company entered into a preferred stock purchase agreement dated as of April 30, 2009 (the “Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement”) under which the Company sold an aggregate of 36,000 shares of its Series A convertible preferred stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) to Intigy Absolute Return Ltd., a British Virgin Islands corporation (“Intigy”), for a purchase price of $36,000,000, or $1,000 per share of Series A $.001 Par Value Preferred Stock. In addition, pursuant to the terms of a stock purchase agreement dated as of May 14, 2009, Rineon agreed to acquire 1,985,834 shares of Amalphis from NatProv Holdings Inc (“NatProv”) for a total consideration of $36,000,000.  Of the 2,437,500 shares of Amalphis held by NatProv, 1,985,834 were converted into Class A Preferred non-voting shares, which were then assigned by NatProv to Rineon.  As a result, NatProv now owns 451,666 Common Shares of Amalphis, representing 100% of the voting shares of Amalphis, and Rineon owns 1,985,834 of  Amalphis’ Class A Preferred Shares which have the same rights and privileges as the common shares except that they have a liquidation preference and no voting rights.  Amalphis’ Class A Preferred Shares are not convertible into Common Shares.

The transactions consummated as set forth above resulted in a change of control of the Company.  In connection with such change in control, on May 14, 2009 the board of directors of the Company authorized a change in the fiscal year end of the Company from May 31 to December 31.

Amalphis Group, Inc., (“Amalphis”) was formed in July 2008 as a British Virgin Islands (BVI) Business Company.  Amalphis, through it’s wholly owned subsidiary Allied Provident, Inc. (“API”), offers customized reinsurance products in markets where traditional reinsurance alternatives are limited.  In addition, the Amalphis was formed to directly sell a variety of property and casualty insurance products to businesses around the world.    In September 2008,  Amalphis acquired API, an entity that issues customized reinsurance to a United States insurance carrier that offers automotive insurance coverage to drivers who are unable to obtain insurance from standard carriers.  API was formed in Barbados on November 9, 2007 by NatProv Holdings Inc., (“NatProv”) a British Virgin Islands corporation.

On January 19, 2010, Amalphis, our 81.5% controlled subsidiary, entered into a transaction to sell 81.5% controlling equity interest in Amalphis Group, Inc., a British Virgin Islands company, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Allied Provident Insurance Inc., a Barbados company, to Gerova Financial Group Ltd. (the “Amalphis Agreement”). The Amalphis Agreement resulted in Rineon owning convertible preferred stock of an unaffiliated publicly traded insurance group. As a result of this transaction, we became a minority investor in this insurance group and, therefore, no longer have control of our former operating subsidiary, Allied Provident Insurance.
 
Interim Financial Statements
 
The interim financial statements presented herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual financial statements, notes and accounting policies included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 as filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are necessary to provide a fair presentation of financial position as of March 31, 2010 and the related operating results and cash flows for the interim period presented have been made. The results of operations, for the period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

2.           SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Amalphis Group Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Allied Provident, Inc.  All material intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements.  These estimates and assumptions also affect the reported amounts of revenues, costs and expenses during the reporting period.  Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on a regular basis.  Significant estimates include valuation of investments and intangible assets.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to see an asset or amount paid to transfer a liability in a current transaction between market participants, other than in a forced sale or liquidation, at the measurement date.   The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the relatively short maturity of the instruments.

Accounting Standards Updates
 
Accounting Standards Updates

In January 2010, the FASB has published ASU 2010-01 “Equity (Topic 505) - Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force,” as codified in ASC 505. ASU No. 2010-01 clarifies the treatment of certain distributions to shareholders that have both stock and cash components. The stock portion of such distributions is considered a share issuance that is reflected in earnings per share prospectively and is not a stock dividend. The amendments in this Update are effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009 and should be applied on a retrospective basis.  Early adoption is permitted.  The adoption of this standard did/did not have an impact on the Company’s (consolidated) financial position and results of operations.

In January 2010, the FASB has published ASU 2010-02 “Consolidation (Topic 810) - Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary—a Scope Clarification,” as codified in ASC 810, “Consolidation.” ASU No. 2010-02 applies retrospectively to April 1, 2009, our adoption date for ASC 810-10-65-1 as previously discussed in this financial note. This ASU clarifies the applicable scope of ASC 810 for a decrease in ownership in a subsidiary or an exchange of a group of assets that is a business or nonprofit activity. The ASU also requires expanded disclosures. The amendments in this Update are effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and should be applied on a retrospective basis.  The adoption of this standard is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009
 
In January 2010, the FASB has published ASU 2010-06 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): - Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. ASU No. 2010-06 clarifies improve disclosure requirement related to fair value measurements and disclosures – Overall Subtopic (Subtopic 820-10) of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosure about purchase, sales, issuances, and settlement in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements.  Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in this Update are effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and should be applied on a retrospective basis.  The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Other ASUs not effective until after March 31, 2010, are not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.


3.            FAIR VALUE
 
The Company records fair value of monetary and nonmonetary instruments in accordance with ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The ASC establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on inputs used to measure fair value, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. Adopting this statement has not had an effect on the Company’s financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations.
 
In accordance with ASC 820, the financial instruments have been categorized, based on the degree of subjectivity inherent in the valuation technique, into a fair value hierarchy of three levels, as follows:
 
 
 
Level 1:  Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments at the measurement date (e.g., U.S. Government securities and active exchange-traded equity securities).
 
 
 
Level 2:  Inputs (other than quoted prices included within Level 1) that are observable for the instrument either directly or indirectly (e.g., certain corporate and municipal bonds and certain preferred stocks). This includes: (i) quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, (ii) quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the instruments, and (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 
 
Level 3:  Inputs that are unobservable. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s subjective evaluation about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the financial instrument (e.g., certain structured securities and privately held investments).
 
The composition of the investment portfolio as of March 31, 2010 was:

3.            FAIR VALUE (Continued)


Our portfolio of equity  securities are classified as Level 2 in the above table and are priced from quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active.
 
During each valuation period, internal estimations of portfolio valuation (performance returns) are created based on current market-related activity (i.e., interest rate and credit spread movements and other credit-related factors) within each major sector of our portfolio. Internally generated portfolio results are compared with those generated based on quotes we received externally and research material valuation differences.
 
Based on the criteria described above, the Company believes that the current level classifications are appropriate based on the valuation techniques used and that our fair values accurately reflect current market assumptions in the aggregate.

8.           CONTINGENT LIABILITY

On May 14, 2009, pursuant to the terms of a preferred stock purchase agreement dated as of April 30, 2009 (the “Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement”), Rineon sold an aggregate of 36,000 shares of its Series A convertible preferred stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) to Intigy Absolute Return Ltd., (“Intigy”) for a purchase price of $36,000,000, or $1,000 per share of Series A Preferred Stock.

As set forth in its certificate of designations of rights, preferences and privileges (the “Certificate of Designations”), the 36,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock has, as one of its rights, that in the event of any “Sale of Control” (as defined in the Certificate of Designation), in addition to the right of the holder(s) of the Series A Preferred Stock to receive a preferential payment in respect of such Series A Preferred Stock equal to product of (A) the $1,000 per share Stated Value, and (B) the number of Series A Preferred Stock then owned, the holder(s) of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to participate with the holders of Rineon Common Stock in receipt of the consideration payable upon such Sale of Control to the extent of 0.000099% of such consideration for each one share of Series A Preferred Stock then owned by the holder(s), or an aggregate of 4.95% of such consideration as to all 36,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

While the Company’s counsel does not believe that the transaction further described in Note 9, Subsequent Events, commits the Company to any liability to its Preferred Stock shareholder, it is currently evaluating the situation.  If the transaction is deemed to be a “Sale of Control”, the Company would be obligated to a payment of $37,782,000.

Item 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

WE URGE YOU TO READ THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IN CONJUNCTION WITH OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE NOTES THERETO BEGINNING ON PAGE F-1. THIS DISCUSSION MAY CONTAIN FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT INVOLVE SUBSTANTIAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES. OUR ACTUAL RESULTS, PERFORMANCE OR ACHIEVEMENTS COULD DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED BY THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AS A RESULT OF A NUMBER OF FACTORS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES DISCUSSED UNDER THE HEADING “RISK FACTORS” SET FORTH IN OUR CURRENT REPORT ON FORM 8-K FILED WITH THE SEC ON MAY 14, 2009. IN ADDITION, SEE “CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTSSET FORTH IN THIS REPORT.
 
Company History

Until consummation of its acquisition of Amalphis, Rineon, formerly known as Jupiter Resources Inc., was an inactive publicly traded Delaware corporation whose common stock is listed on the FINRA OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “JPIT.” Jupiter was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 15, 2006.  Rineon is authorized by its certificate of incorporation to issue an aggregate of 75,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock upon such terms and conditions as the board of directors may from time to time determine.

On May 14, 2009, pursuant to the terms of a preferred stock purchase agreement dated as of April 30, 2009 (the “Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement”), Rineon sold an aggregate of 36,000 shares of its Series A convertible preferred stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) to Intigy Absolute Return Ltd., a British Virgin Islands corporation (“Intigy”) for a purchase price of $36,000,000, or $1,000 per share of Series A Preferred Stock.

Simultaneous with the sale of the Series A Preferred Stock, Darcy George Roney, an individual who owned 5,000,000 shares of Rineon common stock sold 4,990,000 of his shares back to Rineon for $25,000, which shares were cancelled.  As a result of such stock redemption, an aggregate of 2,010,000 shares of Rineon common stock are currently issued and outstanding, all of which shares are owned by 21 shareholders of record.  Mr. Roney also resigned as the President and agreed to resign as the sole member of the board of directors of Rineon.

 
12

 

 
Under the terms of the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, Rineon agreed to appoint Leo de Waal, Thomas Lindsay, Keith Laslop, Michael Hlavsa and Tore Nag as the members of the board of directors of Rineon and Mr. Roney resigned as a member of the Rineon board of directors.
 
In addition, under the terms of the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, Rineon has agreed to reincorporate in the British Virgin Islands.  We have prepared and executed all of the documents prepared by our British Virgin Islands counsel and intend to file such documents to reincorporate in the British Virgin Island and become re-domiciled in such jurisdiction in the near future.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
Rineon’s consolidated financial statements contain certain amounts that are inherently subjective in nature and have required management to make assumptions and best estimates to determine reported values. If certain factors, including those described in “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements”, cause actual events or results to differ materially from its underlying assumptions or estimates, there could be a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. Amalphis believes that the following accounting policies affect the more significant estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. The descriptions below are summarized and have been simplified for clarity. A more detailed description of Amalphis’ critical accounting policies is included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Premium Revenues and Risk Transfer.    The Company’s property and casualty insurance and its reinsurance premiums are recorded as premiums written at the inception of each contract, based upon contract terms and information received from ceding companies and their brokers. For excess of loss reinsurance contracts, premiums are typically stated as a percentage of the subject premiums written by the client, subject to a minimum and deposit premium. The minimum and deposit premium is typically based on an estimate of subject premium expected to be written by the client during the contract term. The minimum and deposit premium is reported initially as premiums written and adjusted, if necessary, in subsequent periods once the actual subject premium is known.
 
For each quota-share or proportional property and casualty reinsurance contract we underwrite, the client estimates gross premiums written at inception of the contract. We generally account for such premiums using the client’s initial estimates, and then adjust the estimates as advised by its client. We believe that the client’s estimate of the volume of business it expects to cede to us represents the best estimate of gross premiums written at the beginning of the contract. Because its agreement with the client provides us with an established percentage of the premium it receives from policies it sells, we believe the client is better able to predict that volume. As the contract progresses, we monitor actual premiums received in conjunction with correspondence from the client in order to refine its estimate. Variances from initial gross premiums written estimates can be greater for quota-share contracts than for excess of loss contracts. Premiums are earned on a pro rata basis over the coverage period. Unearned premiums consist of the unexpired portion of reinsurance provided.
 
We account for reinsurance contracts in accordance with ASC 944 Financial Services – Insurance Assessing whether or not a reinsurance contract meets the conditions for risk transfer requires judgment. The determination of risk transfer is critical to reporting premiums written and is based, in part, on the use of actuarial and pricing models and assumptions. If we determine that a reinsurance contract does not transfer sufficient risk, it accounts for the contract as a deposit liability.
 
Investments.   We classify all investments as trading securities and record their values based on the last reported price on the balance sheet date as reported by a recognized exchange. If no sale of such security was reported on that date, the market value will be the last reported bid price (in the case of securities held long), or last reported ask price (in the case of securities sold short). Securities for which recognized exchange quotations are not readily available are valued at management’s best estimate of fair value based on prices received from administrators, dealers or market makers. Any realized and unrealized gains or losses are determined on the basis of the specific identification method (by reference to cost or amortized cost, as appropriate) and included in investment income in the statement of income.
 
Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves.    We establish reserves for contracts based on estimates of the ultimate cost of all losses including losses incurred but not reported, or IBNR. These estimated ultimate reserves are based on reports received from ceding companies, historical experience and actuarial estimates. These estimates are periodically reviewed and adjusted when necessary. Since reserves are estimates, the setting of appropriate reserves is an inherently uncertain process. Our estimates are based upon actuarial and statistical projections and on its assessment of currently available data, predictions of future developments and estimates of future trends and other factors. The final settlement of losses may vary, perhaps materially, from the reserves initially established and any adjustments to the estimates are recorded in the period in which they are determined. Under U.S. GAAP, We are not permitted to establish loss reserves, which include case reserves and IBNR, until the occurrence of an event which may give rise to a claim. As a result, only loss reserves applicable to losses incurred up to the reporting date are established, with no allowance for the establishment of loss reserves to account for expected future losses.
 
For natural catastrophe exposed business we establish loss reserves based on loss payments and case reserves reported by its clients, when and if received. We then add to these case reserves its estimates for IBNR. To establish its IBNR loss estimates, in addition to the loss information and estimates communicated by ceding companies, we use industry information, knowledge of the business written by management’s judgment.

 
13

 

Reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses were comprised of the following:
 
In each of the contracts we have written to date, its risk exposure is limited by the fact that the contracts have defined limits of liability. Once the loss limit for a contract has been reached, we have no further exposure to additional losses from that contract.
 
For all non-natural catastrophe business, we initially reserve every individual contract to the expected loss and loss expense ratio in the pricing analysis. In its pricing analyses, we typically utilize a significant amount of information both from the individual client and from industry data. Where practical, we compare reserving data that it receive from its client, if any, to publicly-available financial statements of the client in an effort to identify, confirm and monitor the accuracy and completeness of the received data.
 
If we do not receive reserving data from a client, it relies on industry data, as well as the judgment and experience of its underwriters and actuaries. We complete our analyses for all contracts for all lines of business. The information may include many years of history. Depending on the type of business written, we are entitled to receive client and industry information on historical paid losses, incurred losses, number of open claims, number of closed claims, number of total claims, listings of individual large losses, earned premiums, policy count, policy limits underwritten, exposure information and rate change information. We also may receive information by class or subclass of business. As it is a new company, we currently rely more on client and industry data than its own to identify unusual trends in the data requiring changes in reserve estimates. Where available, we receive relevant actuarial reports from the client. We supplement this information with subjective information on each client, which may include management biographies, competitor information, meetings with the client, and supplementary industry research and data. Generally, we obtain regular updates of premium and loss related information for the current period and historical periods, which we utilize to update our initial expected loss and loss expense ratio. There may be a time lag from when claims are reported to its client and when its client reports the claims to Amalphis. This time lag may impact its loss reserve estimates from period to period. Once we receive this updated information we use a variety of standard actuarial methods in its analysis each quarter. Such methods may include:
 
 
 
Paid Loss Development Method.    We estimate ultimate losses by calculating past paid loss development factors and applying them to exposure periods with further expected paid loss development. The paid loss development method assumes that losses are paid in a consistent pattern. It provides an objective test of reported loss projections because paid losses contain no reserve estimates. For many coverages, claim payments are made very slowly and it may take years for claims to be fully reported and settled.
 
 
 
Reported Loss Development Method.    We estimate ultimate losses by calculating past reported loss development factors and applying them to exposure periods with further expected reported loss development. Since reported losses include payments and case reserves, changes in both of these amounts are incorporated in this method. This approach provides a larger volume of data to estimate ultimate losses than paid loss methods. Thus, reported loss patterns may be less varied than paid loss patterns, especially for coverage that have historically been paid out over a long period of time but for which claims are reported relatively early and case loss reserve estimates established.
 
 
 
Expected Loss Ratio Method.    We estimate ultimate losses under the expected loss ratio method, by multiplying earned premiums by an expected loss ratio. We select the expected loss ratio using industry data, historical company data and its professional judgment. We use this method for lines of business and contracts where there are no historical losses or where past loss experience is not credible.
 
 
 ●
Bornheutter-Ferguson Paid Loss Method.    We estimate ultimate losses by modifying expected loss ratios to the extent paid losses experienced to date differ from what would have been expected to have been paid based upon the selected paid loss development pattern. This method avoids some of the distortions that could result from a large development factor being applied to a small base of paid losses to calculate ultimate losses. We use this method for lines of business and contracts where there are limited historical paid losses.
 
  
 ●
Bornheutter-Ferguson Reported Loss Method.   We estimate ultimate losses by modifying expected loss ratios to the extent reported losses experienced to date differ from what would have been expected to have been reported based upon the selected reported loss development pattern. This method avoids some of the distortions that could result from a large development factor being applied to a small base of reported losses to calculate ultimate losses. We use this method for lines of business and contracts where there are limited historical reported losses.

For each contract, we utilize each reserving methodology that its actuaries deem appropriate in order to calculate a best estimate, or point estimate, of reserves. In setting its reserves, we do not use a range of estimates that may be subject to adjustment. Accordingly, at the end of each period, we will establish reserves at a point estimate based upon all information then available. As of June 30, 2009, we had not adjusted any of its reserves since commencing underwriting operations in November 2007. Whether we use one methodology, a combination of methodologies or all methodologies depends upon the contract and the judgment of the actuaries responsible for the contract.
 

 
14

 


Our aggregate reserves are the sum of the point estimate of all contracts. Because its reserves are the sum of its point estimates, we do not adjust its reserves from the amounts its actuaries determine. We perform a quarterly loss reserve analysis on each contract. This analysis may incorporate some or all of the information described above, using some or all of the methodologies described above. Each contract is analyzed every quarter regardless of line of business. We generally calculate IBNR reserves for each contract by estimating the ultimate incurred losses at any point in time and subtracting cumulative paid claims and case reserves, which incorporate specific exposures, loss payment and reporting patterns and other relevant factors. We also intend to have its loss reserves reviewed, on an annual basis, by an independent outside actuary who will test and review the work done by its actuaries to ensure that reserves our reports are being established consistently and appropriately.
 
Acquisition Costs.    Acquisition costs include brokerage fees, ceding commissions, premium taxes and other direct expenses that relate directly to and vary with the writing of reinsurance contracts.  Acquisition costs relating to premiums that are fully earned are expensed.  Acquisition costs relating to premiums that have been received but not fully earned are deferred and amortized over the same period as the premiums are earned. Acquisition costs also include profit commissions.

There were no operations for the period.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Amalphis is a specialty insurance company that offers reinsurance products in markets where traditional reinsurance alternatives are limited. Amalphis directly sells a variety of property and casualty insurance products to businesses. Amalphis’ wholly-owned insurance subsidiary, Allied Provident Insurance, Inc. was incorporated and commenced its insurance business in 2007 in Barbados.
 

 
15

 


Through Allied Provident, Amalphis currently writes reinsurance for a United States insurance carrier that offers non-standard personal automotive insurance coverage to drivers who are unable to obtain insurance from standard carriers. Amalphis plans to expand its reinsurance product offerings with other insurers that provide a variety of other property and casualty insurance products. Its direct insurance business includes a suite of business property and casualty insurance products, such as directors and officers liability insurance, financial guarantee insurance, excess and umbrella liability insurance, business income insurance, and inland marine and product liability insurance.
 
Amalphis manages its business on the basis of one operating segment, property and casualty reinsurance, in accordance with the qualitative and quantitative criteria established by ASC 280 Segment Reporting  Within the property and casualty insurance and reinsurance segment, Amalphis analyzes its underwriting operations using two categories:

·  
frequency business; and
·  
severity business.

Frequency business is characterized by contracts containing a potentially large number of smaller losses emanating from multiple events. Clients generally buy this protection to increase their own underwriting capacity and typically select a reinsurer based upon the reinsurer’s financial strength and expertise. Amalphis expects the results of frequency business to be less volatile than those of severity business from period to period due to its greater predictability. Amalphis also expects that over time the profit margins and return on equity for its frequency business will be lower than those of its severity business.

Severity business is typically characterized by contracts with the potential for significant losses emanating from one event. Clients generally buy this protection to remove volatility from their balance sheets and, accordingly, Amalphis expects the results of severity business to be volatile from period to period. However, over the long term, Amalphis also expects that its severity business will generate higher profit margins and return on equity than its frequency business.
 
Amalphis does not currently have any material commitments for capital expenditures, and does not anticipate the need for any such material expenditures this year.
 
Because Amalphis has a limited operating history, period-to-period comparisons of its underwriting results are not yet possible and may not be meaningful in the near future. In addition, due to the nature of its reinsurance and investment strategies, its operating results will likely fluctuate from period to period.

Accounting Standards Updates

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued its final Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 168,The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles a Replacement of FASB Statement No. 162”. SFAS No. 168 made the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the Codification) the single source of U.S. GAAP used by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements, except for rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws, which are sources of authoritative accounting guidance for SEC registrants. The Codification is meant to simplify user access to all authoritative accounting guidance by reorganizing U.S. GAAP pronouncements into roughly 90 accounting topics within a consistent structure; its purpose is not to create new accounting and reporting guidance. The Codification supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards and was effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2009. Following SFAS No. 168, the Board will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts; instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates (ASU). The FASB will not consider ASUs as authoritative in their own right; these updates will serve only to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance, and provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the Codification.
 
In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-05 which includes amendments to Subtopic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures—Overall”. The update provides clarification that in circumstances, in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the techniques provided for in this update. The amendments in this ASU clarify that a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability and also clarifies  that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements. The guidance provided in this ASU is effective for the first reporting period, including interim periods, beginning after issuance.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations as of March 31, 2010 as the Company’s material investment was made effective March 30, 2010 just one day prior to the end of the quarter.  This standard may have a material impact in future reporting periods.
 
In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-06, Income Taxes (Topic 740), ”Implementation Guidance on Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes and Disclosure Amendments for Nonpublic Entities”, which provides implementation guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, as well as eliminates certain disclosure requirements for nonpublic entities.  For entities that are currently applying the standards for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, this update shall be effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. For those entities that have deferred the application of accounting for uncertainty in income taxes in accordance with paragraph 740-10-65-1(e), this update shall be effective upon adoption of those standards. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations since this accounting standard update provides only implementation and disclosure amendments.

 
16

 


In September 2009, the FASB has published ASU No. 2009-12, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) - Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent)”. This ASU amends Subtopic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall”, to permit a reporting entity to measure the fair value of certain investments on the basis of the net asset value per share of the investment (or its equivalent). This ASU also requires new disclosures, by major category of investments including the attributes of investments within the scope of this amendment to the Codification. The guidance in this Update is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009. Early application is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
 
In October 2009, the FASB has published ASU 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)-Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements”, which addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than as a combined unit. Specifically, this guidance amends the criteria in Subtopic 605-25, “Revenue Recognition-Multiple-Element Arrangements”, for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements. This guidance establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which is based on: (a) vendor-specific objective evidence; (b) third-party evidence; or (c) estimates. This guidance also eliminates the residual method of allocation and requires that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method and also requires expanded disclosures. The guidance in this update is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
 
In October 2009, the FASB has published ASU 2009-14, “Software (Topic 985)-Certain Revenue Arrangements that Include Software Elements” and changes the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements. Under this guidance, tangible products containing software components and nonsoftware components that function together to deliver the tangible product's essential functionality are excluded from the software revenue guidance in Subtopic 985-605, “Software-Revenue Recognition”. In addition, hardware components of a tangible product containing software components are always excluded from the software revenue guidance.  The guidance in this ASU is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted.  The adoption of this standard is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
 
Other ASUs not effective until after March 31, 2010, are not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
 
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Item 3  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Amalphis believes it is principally exposed to five types of market risks:

·
equity price risk;
·
foreign currency risk;
·
interest rate risk;
·
credit risk; and
·
effects of inflation.

Equity Price Risk.   As of March 31, 2010, approximately 98.3% of its investment portfolio consisted primarily of long and short equity securities, the carrying values of which are primarily based on quoted market prices. Generally, market prices of common equity securities are subject to fluctuation, which could cause the amount to be realized upon the closing of the position to differ significantly from the current reported value. As of March 31, 2010, a 1% decline in the price of each of these equity securities would result in a $.4 million, or 1.0%, decline in the fair value of the total investment portfolio.
 
Foreign Currency Risk.  Certain of its reinsurance contracts may provide that ultimate losses may be payable in foreign currencies depending on the country of original loss. Foreign currency exchange rate risk exists to the extent that there is an increase in the exchange rate of the foreign currency in which losses are ultimately owed. As of March 31, 2010, there are no known or estimated losses payable in foreign currencies. While Amalphis does not seek to specifically match its liabilities under reinsurance policies that are payable in foreign currencies with investments denominated in such currencies, Amalphis continually monitors its exposure to potential foreign currency losses and will consider the use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts in an effort to hedge against adverse foreign currency movements.
 

 
17

 


Through investments in securities denominated in foreign currencies, Amalphis may be exposed to foreign (non-U.S.) currency risk. Foreign currency exchange rate risk is the potential for loss in the U.S. dollar value of investments due to a decline in the exchange rate of the foreign currency in which the investments are denominated. As of March 31, 2010, Amalphis had all of its investments in U.S. dollars and, therefore, has no risk to foreign currency fluctuations.
 
Interest Rate Risk.  Amalphis’ investment portfolio has historically held a very small portion of fixed-income securities, which it classifies as trading securities but may in the future include significant exposure to corporate debt securities, including debt securities of distressed companies. The primary market risk exposure for any fixed-income security is interest rate risk. As interest rates rise, the market value of its fixed-income portfolio falls, and the converse is also true.
 
Credit Risk.  Amalphis is exposed to credit risk primarily from the possibility that counterparties may default on their obligations to Amalphis. The amount of the maximum exposure to credit risk is indicated by the carrying value of its financial assets. In addition, Amalphis holds the securities of its investment portfolio with several prime brokers and have credit risk from the possibility that one or more of them may default in their obligations to Amalphis. Other than its investment in derivative contracts and corporate debt, if any, and the fact that certain Amalphis’ investments are held by prime brokers on its behalf, Amalphis has no significant concentrations of credit risk.
 
Item 4(T)  Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or 1934 Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer (principal financial officer) as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. During the quarter ended March 31, 2010 we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer (principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(e) under the 1934 Act. Based on this evaluation, because of the Company’s limited resources and limited number of employees, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2010.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
 
Changes in Internal Controls
 
During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2010, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.
 
PART II
