         to conduct business relying upon premiums as
         collected to pay all his losses. His back up when
         losses exceed premiums is (1) reinsurance, and (2)
         income from his investments

         The above brings out the crucial role of reinsurance
         in addressing the limitations to the law of large
         numbers, preserving the income from investment and
         insulating shareholders' funds from unpredictable loss
         scenarios.

              that the cover would deplete or cease upon
              payment of loss. It provides for automatic
              restoration of limit of cover subject to mutually
              agreed additional premium.The number of
              reinstatements and the basis for additional
              premium are subject to negotiation.
