Strength in our flow business drove the majority of the gains. For the quarter, we grew cash and investments by approximately $13 million, signed up 64 new customers to master policies, and achieved record premiums earned. We expect to end the year in a solid competitive position, and look forward to continued growth and becoming profitable in 2016.”
