Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]	'
Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation	'
	NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
	Atlas Financial Holdings, Inc. ("Atlas" or the "Company") commenced operations on December 31, 2010. The primary business of Atlas is underwriting commercial automobile insurance in the United States, with a niche market orientation and focus on insurance for the “light” commercial automobile sector. This sector includes taxi cabs, non-emergency para-transit, limousine, livery and business autos. Automobile insurance products provide insurance coverage in three major areas: liability, accident benefits and physical damage. Liability insurance provides coverage, subject to policy terms and conditions where the insured is determined to be responsible and/or liable for an automobile accident, for the payment for injuries and property damage to third parties. Accident benefit policies or personal injury protection policies provide coverage for loss of income, medical and rehabilitation expenses for insured persons who are injured in an automobile accident, regardless of fault. Physical damage coverage subject to policy terms and conditions provides for the payment of damages to an insured automobile arising from a collision with another object or from other risks such as fire or theft. In the short run, automobile physical damage and liability coverage generally provides more predictable results than automobile accident benefit or personal injury insurance.
	Atlas' business is carried out through its insurance subsidiaries: American Country Insurance Company (“American Country”), American Service Insurance Company, Inc. (“American Service”) and, as of January 1, 2013, Gateway Insurance Company ("Gateway"). The insurance subsidiaries distribute their insurance products through a network of retail independent agents. Together, the insurance subsidiaries are licensed to write property and casualty insurance in 49 states and the District of Columbia in the United States. Atlas' core products are actively distributed in 40 of those states plus Washington, D.C. The insurance subsidiaries share common management and operating infrastructure.
	Atlas' ordinary voting common shares were previously listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) under the symbol “AFH” from January 6, 2011 to June 4, 2013, when Atlas' application for the voluntary delisting of its ordinary voting common shares from the TSXV was approved.
	Atlas ordinary voting common shares became listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange on February 11, 2013, under the same symbol, AFH.
	On December 7, 2012, a shareholder meeting was held where a one-for-three reverse stock split was unanimously approved. When the reverse stock split took effect on January 29, 2013, it decreased the authorized and outstanding ordinary voting common shares and restricted voting common shares at a ratio of one-for-three. The primary objective of the reverse stock split was to increase the per share price of Atlas' common shares to meet certain listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market. Unless otherwise noted, all historical share and per share values in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q reflect the one-for-three reverse stock split.
	Basis of presentation - These statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. It is the opinion of management that these financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the interim results.
	The results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full calendar year.
	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules for interim periods, do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Atlas' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, which provides a more complete understanding of the Company’s accounting policies, financial position, operating results, business properties, and other matters.
	Seasonality - The property and casualty (P&C) insurance business is seasonal in nature. While Atlas' net premiums earned are generally stable from quarter to quarter, Atlas' gross premiums written follow the common renewal dates for the "light" commercial risks that represent its core lines of business. For example, January 1 and March 1 are common taxi cab renewal dates in Illinois and New York, respectively. Net underwriting income is driven mainly by the timing and nature of claims, which can vary widely. Atlas' ability to generate written premium is also impacted by the timing of policy periods in the states in which Atlas operates.
	The accounting policies followed in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are comparable to those applied in Atlas' audited annual consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2013. Atlas has consistently applied the same accounting policies throughout all periods presented.

Acquisition of Gateway Insurance Company	'
	ACQUISITION OF GATEWAY INSURANCE COMPANY
	On January 2, 2013 Atlas acquired Camelot Services, Inc. ("Camelot Services"), a privately owned insurance holding company, and its sole subsidiary, Gateway, from Hendricks Holding Company, Inc. ("Hendricks"), an unaffiliated third party. Gateway provides specialized commercial insurance products, including commercial automobile insurance to niche markets such as taxi, black car and sedan service owners and operators.
	Under the terms of the stock purchase agreement, the purchase price equaled the tangible GAAP book value of Camelot Services at December 31, 2012, subject to certain pre and post-closing adjustments, including, among others, claim development between the signing of the stock purchase agreement and December 31, 2012. Additional consideration may be paid to the seller, or returned to Atlas by the seller, depending upon, among other things, the future development of Gateway's actual loss reserves for certain lines of business and the utilization of certain deferred tax assets, which expire 5 years and 20 years from the date of acquisition, respectively. Gateway also wrote a workers' compensation insurance program which is being run-off. However, an indemnity reinsurance agreement was entered into pursuant to which 100% of Gateway's workers' compensation business was ceded to a third party captive reinsurer funded and collateralized by the seller as part of the transaction.
	The total purchase price for all of Camelot Services’ outstanding shares was $14.3 million, consisting of a combination of cash and Atlas preferred shares. Consideration consisted of a $6.0 million dividend paid by Gateway immediately prior to the closing, $2.0 million of Atlas preferred shares (consisting of a total of 2,000,000 preferred shares) and $6.3 million in cash. The agreement includes contractual protections to offset up to $2.0 million of future reserve development. Atlas has also agreed to provide the sellers up to $2.0 million in additional consideration in the event of favorable reserve development. As of June 30, 2014, there have been no additional developments that would require additional consideration to or from Hendricks.
	The Gateway acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method. Atlas began consolidating Gateway on January 1, 2013, therefore their financial results are included in Atlas' consolidated financial results for all periods reported.
	The value of certain assets and liabilities acquired were subject to adjustment as additional information was obtained, including, but not limited to, valuation of separately identifiable intangibles, the preferred stock issued to the seller, and deferred taxes. The valuations were finalized within 12 months of the close of the acquisition (not including loss reserve consideration). The changes upon finalization to the preliminary valuation of assets and liabilities resulted in an adjustment to identifiable intangible assets and goodwill. Changes to the purchase price allocation were adjusted in the first quarter of 2013. The following table presents assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the Gateway acquisition based on its estimated fair value on January 1, 2013.
	(in $ '000s)
	Purchase Consideration
	Cash	$	12,282
	Preferred stock	2,000
	Total	$	14,282
	Allocation of Purchase Price
	Cash and investments	$	45,421
	Accounts receivable and other assets	9,249
	Reinsurance recoverables	6,007
	Intangible assets	740
	Property and equipment	923
	Value of business acquired	1,234
	Total Assets	$	63,574
	Claims liabilities	$	36,209
	Unearned premiums	9,601
	Accounts payable and other liabilities	3,482
	Total Liabilities	$	49,292
	Net assets acquired	$	14,282
	The acquisition of Gateway resulted in the recognition of intangible assets, comprised entirely of state insurance licenses valued at $740,000. The state insurance licenses are considered to have an indefinite life and will not be amortized, but will be evaluated for impairment at least annually. Thus, Atlas recognized no amortization expense during the three or six month periods ended June 30, 2014 or June 30, 2013 related to intangible assets acquired in the Gateway transaction.
	Atlas incurred $406,000 in legal and professional fee expenses related to the transaction during the six month period ended June 30, 2013.
	Atlas also incurred $337,000 in one-time employee termination costs during the twelve month period ended December 31, 2013, plans for which were formulated and expenses recorded in the first quarter of 2013. These expenses are included in "Other Underwriting Expenses" on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income (Unaudited) for the six month period ended June 30, 2013.

	EARNINGS PER SHARE
	Earnings per ordinary voting common share and restricted voting common share (collectively, the "common shares") for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013 are as follows:

	Earnings per diluted common share		$	0.23	$	0.15	$	0.45	$	0.22
	Earnings per diluted common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Atlas by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding each period plus the incremental number of shares added as a result of converting dilutive potential ordinary voting common shares, calculated using the treasury stock method (or, in the case of the convertible preferred shares, the "if-converted" method).
	Originally, in computing the earnings per diluted common share for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013, the Company did not include the dilutive impact of the exercised warrants as if they were exercised at the beginning of the periods. This dilutive impact increased the denominator in the diluted earnings per share computation for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 by 35,445 and 53,055 shares, respectively; however, this has no impact on the actual earnings used for the numerator in the EPS computation. The table above has been corrected to include the dilutive impact of the exercised warrants as if they were exercised at the beginning of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013. As a result, there were 8,131,450 and 7,591,092 weighted average common shares outstanding used to compute basic earnings per share and 11,003,849 and 10,399,880 for earnings per diluted common share for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013, respectively. The previously reported earnings per diluted common share for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 were $0.16 and $0.22, respectively.
	Atlas’ dilutive potential ordinary voting common shares consist of outstanding restricted stock units, stock options to purchase ordinary voting common shares, warrants to purchase ordinary voting common shares of Atlas (2013 only), and preferred shares potentially convertible to ordinary voting common shares at the option of the holders at any date after December 31, 2013 (18,000,000 preferred shares) and December 31, 2015 (2,000,000 preferred shares) at the rate of 0.1270 ordinary voting common shares for each preferred share. The effects of these convertible instruments are excluded from the computation of earnings per diluted common share in periods in which the effect would be anti-dilutive. Convertible preferred shares are anti-dilutive when the amount of dividend declared or accumulated in the current period per common share obtainable upon conversion exceeds basic earnings per share. In the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, stock options and all of the remaining convertible preferred shares were deemed to be dilutive.
	On July 7, 2013, Atlas entered into a non-binding letter of intent to purchase all outstanding preferred shares that were eligible for redemption (all 18,000,000 shares), for 90% of their liquidation value. Definitive agreements in connection with this transaction were executed on August 1, 2013 (collectively, the "Share Repurchase Agreement"). Upon execution of the Share Repurchase Agreement, an initial amount of $8.3 million (which included dividends accrued and declared through August 1, 2013) was paid against the total purchase price of $16.2 million, leaving a remaining amount due of $7.9 million, which carries a non-compounding annual interest rate of 4.5%. The remaining amount due, plus accrued interest, was paid during the fourth quarter of 2013 in accordance with the terms of the Share Repurchase Agreement.

	INVESTMENTS
	The amortized cost, gross unrealized gains and losses and fair value for Atlas’ investments in fixed maturities, equity investments and other investments are as follows. Atlas' other investments are in limited partnerships and insurance linked securities. Atlas' interests in these investments are not deemed minor, and as a result, the Company uses the equity method of accounting. As of June 30, 2014, the carrying values of these other investments were approximately $9.0 million versus approximately $1.2 million as of December 31, 2013. The carrying values of these other investments were equal to Atlas' share of the net book value, an amount that approximates fair value (all amounts in '000s):

	Management performs a quarterly analysis of Atlas’ investment holdings to determine if declines in fair value are other than temporary (equities may require more timely review in some cases). The analysis includes some or all of the following procedures as deemed appropriate by management:
	◦	identifying all security holdings in unrealized loss positions;
	◦	obtaining a valuation analysis from third party investment managers regarding these holdings based on their knowledge, experience and other market-based valuation techniques;
	◦	reviewing the trading range of certain securities over the preceding calendar period;
	◦	assessing whether declines in market value are other than temporary for debt security holdings based on credit ratings from third party security rating agencies; and
	◦	determining the necessary provision for declines in market value that are considered other than temporary based on the analyses performed.
	The risks and uncertainties inherent in the assessment methodology utilized to determine declines in market value that are other than temporary include, but may not be limited to, the following:
	◦	the opinion of professional investment managers could prove to be incorrect;
	◦	the past trading patterns of individual securities may not reflect future valuation trends;
	◦	the credit ratings assigned by independent credit rating agencies may prove to be incorrect due to unforeseen or unknown facts related to a company’s financial situation; and
	◦	the debt service pattern of non-investment grade securities may not reflect future debt service capabilities and may not reflect a company’s unknown underlying financial problems.
	There were no other than temporary impairments recorded in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 as a result of the above analysis performed by management. As of June 30, 2014, Atlas' portfolio was in an unrealized gain position. This was primarily driven by the change in interest rates during the first six months of 2014. All securities in an unrealized loss position as of June 30, 2014 and as of December 31, 2013 have been in said position for less than 12 months. The total fair value of the securities currently in an unrealized loss position was $68.4 million at June 30, 2014 with a total temporary impairment relating to unrealized losses of $987,000. Atlas has the ability and intent to hold these securities until their fair value is recovered. Therefore, Atlas does not expect the market value loss position of these investments to be realized in the near term.

Collateral pledged:
As of June 30, 2014 and as of December 31, 2013, bonds and term deposits with a fair value of $14.5 million were on deposit with state and provincial regulatory authorities. Also, from time to time, the Company pledges securities to third parties to collateralize liabilities incurred under its policies of insurance. As of June 30, 2014 and as of December 31, 2013, the amount of such pledged securities was $6.9 million and $7.9 million, respectively. Collateral pledging transactions are conducted under terms that are common and customary to standard collateral pledging and are subject to the Company’s standard risk management controls. These assets and investment income related thereto remain the property of the Company while pledged. Neither the state and/or provincial regulatory authorities nor any other third party has the right to re-pledge or sell said securities held on deposit.

	At June 30, 2014, Atlas' allowance for bad debt was $686,000. Atlas decreased its allowance for doubtful accounts by $90,000 in the six month period ended June 30, 2014 compared to the balance at December 31, 2013. This decrease relates to the net impact between: 1) a decrease of $239,000 related to the run-off worker's compensation program write-offs, and 2) an increase of $149,000 related to the formulaic modeling correlating to the changes in accounts receivable balances in our core lines during the six month period ended June 30, 2014.
	Fair value - Fair value amounts represent estimates of the consideration that would currently be agreed upon between knowledgeable, willing parties who are under no compulsion to act.
	Atlas records the available for sale securities held in its securities portfolio at their fair value. Atlas primarily uses the services of external securities pricing vendors to obtain these values. The securities are valued using quoted market prices or prices established using observable market inputs. In volatile market conditions, these quoted market prices or observable market inputs can change rapidly causing a significant impact on fair value and financial results recorded.
	Atlas employs a fair value hierarchy to categorize the inputs it uses in valuation techniques to measure the fair value. The hierarchy is comprised of quoted market prices (Level 1), third party models using observable market information (Level 2) and internal models without observable market information (Level 3). The following table summarizes Atlas' investments at fair value as of June 30, 2014 and as of December 31, 2013 (all amounts in '000s):
	As of June 30, 2014	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
	Fixed income securities	$	12,645	$	112,833	$	809	$	126,287
	Equities	255		—		—		255
	Other investments	—		2,159		6,827		8,986
	Totals	$	12,900	$	114,992	$	7,636	$	135,528

	Fixed income securities	$	12,624	$	115,344	$	617	$	128,585
	Equities	258		—		—		258
	Other investments	—		—		1,234		1,234
	Totals	$	12,882	$	115,344	$	1,851	$	130,077
	Of the total portfolio of fixed income securities, only holdings of U.S. Treasury Securities are classified within Level 1. There were no transfers in or out of Level 2 or Level 3 during either period.
	The fair value of the fixed income security in Level 3 was calculated using risk-adjusted value ranges and estimates, and the asset is the same at June 30, 2014 as at December 31, 2013. In the six month period ended June 30, 2014, approximately $251,000 was recognized in investment income from this investment. The other investments in Level 3 at June 30, 2014 had an effect on income for the six month period ended June 30, 2014 of $93,000. These securities received Level 3 classification due to the absence of fair value quotes from Atlas' third party valuation service provider.
	Though Atlas believes its valuation methods are appropriate, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine its fair value could result in a different fair value as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Management does not believe that reasonable changes to the inputs to its valuation methodology would result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.
	Capital management - The Company manages capital using both regulatory capital measures and internal metrics. The Company’s capital is primarily derived from common shareholders’ equity, retained deficit and accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
	As a holding company, Atlas could derive cash from its insurance subsidiaries generally in the form of dividends to meet its obligations, which will primarily consist of operating expense payments. Atlas’ insurance subsidiaries fund their obligations primarily through premium and investment income and maturities in the securities portfolio. The insurance subsidiaries require regulatory approval for the return of capital and, in certain circumstances, prior to the payment of dividends. In the event that dividends available to the holding company are inadequate to cover its operating expenses, the holding company would need to raise capital, sell assets or incur future debt.
	The insurance subsidiaries must each maintain a minimum statutory capital and surplus of $1.5 million and $2.4 million under the provisions of the Illinois Insurance Code and the Missouri Insurance Code, respectively. Dividends may only be paid from statutory unassigned surplus, and payments may not be made if such surplus is less than a stipulated amount. The dividend restriction is the greater of statutory net income or 10% of total statutory capital and surplus.
	At June 30, 2014 our insurance subsidiaries had a combined statutory surplus of $60.7 million and had combined net written premiums and combined net income for the six months ended June 30, 2014 of $50.6 million and $3.3 million, respectively.
	At December 31, 2013 our insurance subsidiaries had a combined statutory surplus of $53.1 million and had combined net written premiums and combined net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 of $80.5 million and $7.3 million, respectively.
	Atlas did not declare or pay any dividends to its common shareholders during the six month period ended June 30, 2014 or in the year ended December 31, 2013.
	As of June 30, 2014, Atlas held a cash balance of $23.7 million at its holding company as a result of the equity raise during the second quarter of 2014.

	Upon the reverse merger transaction forming Atlas on December 31, 2010, a yearly limitation as required by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“IRC Section 382”) that applies to changes in ownership on the future utilization of Atlas’ net operating loss carry-forwards was calculated. The insurance subsidiaries’ prior parent retained those tax assets previously attributed to the insurance subsidiaries which could not be utilized by Atlas as a result of this limitation. As a result, Atlas’ ability to recognize future tax benefits associated with a portion of its deferred tax assets generated during prior years and the current year has been permanently limited to the amount determined under IRC Section 382. The result is a maximum expected net deferred tax asset that Atlas has available after the merger which is believed more likely than not to be utilized in the future, after consideration of the valuation allowance.
	On July 22, 2013, as a result of shareholder activity, a "triggering event" as determined under IRC Section 382 occurred. As a result, under IRC Section 382, the use of the Company's net operating loss and other carryforwards will be limited as a result of this "ownership change” for tax purposes, which is defined as a cumulative change of more than 50% during any three-year period by shareholders owning 5% or greater portions of the Company's shares.
	Following this triggering event, the Company estimates that it will retain total tax effected federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $14.8 million as of June 30, 2014. Book value per common share was unaffected by this event, as the amount of lost net deferred tax assets of $578,000 were offset by a corresponding decrease in the valuation allowance which was already held against the majority of these assets. The completion and filing of the Company's 2013 U.S. Federal tax return will determine the final adjustment.
	Utilization of deferred tax assets related to net operating loss carryforwards were limited for the periods ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013 due to IRC Section 382 annual limitations.  However, based upon taxable income generated for the periods ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, the Company reassessed the valuation allowance and reduced such valuation allowance in amounts in excess of the annual limitations based upon the expectation that these amounts will be realized.
	The components of deferred income tax assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are as follows (all amounts in '000s):
	As of:	June 30, 2014			December 31, 2013

	Atlas established a valuation allowance of $7.8 million and $9.4 million for its gross deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
	In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, Atlas considers both positive and negative evidence related to the likelihood of realization of the deferred tax assets. If, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets will not be realized or if it is deemed premature to conclude that these assets will be realized in the near future, a valuation allowance is recorded. The weight given to the positive and negative evidence is commensurate with the extent to which the evidence may be objectively verified. GAAP states that a cumulative loss in recent years is a significant piece of negative evidence that is difficult to overcome in determining that a valuation allowance is not needed against deferred tax assets. Atlas' assessment also considered the recent spin-off from prior ownership, the nature and extent of cumulative financial losses and trends in recent quarterly earnings. The Company has been reducing its valuation allowance against deferred tax assets by an amount equal to the amount of income tax expense generated for the period. The Company will continue this process in the third quarter of 2014. A comprehensive analysis of this policy will take place during the 2014 year-end financial close process which could result in future reductions or the elimination of the valuation allowance. This reassessment will include but is not limited to continued underwriting profitability, the lack of significant prior year loss reserve development, continuing favorable market conditions, continued positive trend in taxable earnings, and other such indications deemed positive.
	Atlas accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the income taxes accounting guidance. Atlas has analyzed filing positions in the federal and state jurisdiction where it is required to file tax returns, as well as the open tax years in these jurisdictions. Atlas believes that its federal and state income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to its financial position. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain federal and state income tax positions have been recorded. Atlas would recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of the provision for federal income taxes. Atlas did not incur any federal income tax related interest income, interest expense or penalties for the six month period ended June 30, 2013 or the year ended December 31, 2013. Tax years 2010 and forward are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

Underwriting Policy and Reinsurance Ceded	'
	UNDERWRITING POLICY AND REINSURANCE CEDED
	Underwriting Risk - Underwriting risk is the risk that the total cost of claims and acquisition expenses will exceed premiums received and can arise from numerous factors, including pricing risk, reserving risk, catastrophic loss risk, reinsurance coverage risk and that loss and loss adjustment expense reserves are not sufficient.
	Reinsurance Ceded - As is customary in the insurance industry, Atlas reinsures portions of certain insurance policies it writes, thereby providing a greater diversification of risk and minimizing exposure on larger risks. Atlas remains contingently at risk with respect to any reinsurance ceded and would incur an additional loss if an assuming company were unable to meet its obligation under the reinsurance treaty.
	Atlas monitors the financial condition of its reinsurers to minimize its exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies. Letters of credit are maintained for any unauthorized reinsurer to cover ceded unearned premium, ceded loss reserve balances and ceded paid losses. These policies mitigate the risk of credit quality or dispute from becoming a danger to financial strength. To date, the Company has not experienced any material difficulties in collecting reinsurance recoverables.
	Gross premiums written and ceded premiums, losses and commissions for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013 are as follows (all amounts in '000s):
		Three Month Periods Ended				Six Month Periods Ended

	UNPAID CLAIMS
	Claims liabilities - The changes in the provision for unpaid claims, net of amounts recoverable from reinsurers, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013 were as follows (all amounts in '000s):
		Three Month Periods Ended					Six Month Periods Ended
		June 30, 2014			June 30, 2013		June 30, 2014			June 30, 2013

	Unpaid claims, end of period	$	99,305		$	105,221	$	99,305		$	105,221
	The process of establishing the estimated provision for unpaid claims is complex and imprecise as it relies on the judgment and opinions of a large number of individuals, on historical precedent and trends, on prevailing legal, economic, social and regulatory trends and on expectations as to future developments. The process of determining the provision necessarily involves risks that the actual results will deviate, perhaps substantially, from the best estimates made.
	The establishment of reserves is an inherently uncertain process involving estimates; and current provisions may not be sufficient. Adjustments to reserves, both positive and negative, are reflected quarterly in the statement of income as estimates are updated.
	The favorable development for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 relates to a program that remains in run-off.

	Total		399,623		163,512
	The options granted on March 18, 2010 have an exercise price of C$3.00 per share. These options were granted to directors of Atlas' predecessor company, JJR VI.
	On January 18, 2011, Atlas granted options to purchase 123,255 ordinary voting common shares of Atlas stock to officers and directors at an exercise price of C$6.00 per share. The options vest 25% at date of grant and 25% on each of the next three anniversary dates and expire on January 18, 2021. Using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the weighted average grant date fair value of these options is C$3.72 per share.
	On January 11, 2013, Atlas granted options to purchase 91,668 ordinary voting common shares under the Company’s stock option plan, all of which were granted to the Company’s officers. The granted options have an exercise price of C$6.45 and vest equally on the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. The options expire on January 11, 2023. Using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the weighted average grant date fair value of these options is C$4.54 per share.
	On March 6, 2014, Atlas granted options to purchase 175,000 ordinary voting common shares under the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan, all of which were granted to the Company’s officers. The granted options have an exercise price of $13.26 and vest equally on the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. The options expire on March 6, 2024 . Using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the weighted average grant date fair value of these options is $7.03 per share.
	The Black-Scholes option pricing model was used to estimate the fair value of compensation expense using the following assumptions – risk-free interest rate 1.88% to 3.18%; dividend yield 0.0%; expected volatility 38% to 100%; expected life of 6 to 10 years.
	In accordance with Accounting Standard Codification 718 (Stock-Based Compensation), Atlas has recognized stock compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the last separately vesting portion of the award. In the six month period ended June 30, 2014, Atlas recognized $262,000 in expense compared to $122,000 in the six month period ended June 30, 2013. Stock compensation expense is a component of other underwriting expenses on the income statement. Total unrecognized stock compensation expense related to all option grants is $1.4 million as of the six months ended June 30, 2014, which will be recognized over the next 32 months.
	The weighted average exercise price of all the shares exercisable at June 30, 2014 is C$6.05 on outstanding options granted prior to December 31, 2013 and $13.26 on outstanding options granted after January 1, 2014 versus C$6.05 at December 31, 2013. The grants have a weighted average remaining life of 8.4 years and the stock options outstanding have an intrinsic value of $2.5 million as of June 30, 2014.
	In the second quarter of 2013, a new Equity Incentive Plan was approved by Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Atlas will cease to grant new stock options under the preceding Stock Option Plan. The Equity Incentive Plan is a new securities based compensation plan, pursuant to which Atlas may issue restricted stock grants for ordinary voting common shares, restricted units, stock grants for ordinary voting common shares, stock options and other forms of equity incentives to eligible persons as part of their compensation. The Equity Incentive Plan is considered an amendment and restatement of the Stock Option Plan, although outstanding stock options issued pursuant to the Stock Option Plan will continue to be governed by the terms of the Stock Option Plan.
	Under the Equity Incentive Plan, a director who either directly or indirectly purchases up to $100,000 of Atlas ordinary voting common stock on the open market, through the employee stock purchase plan, or via other means acceptable under this plan (see note 13) will receive a 3 to 1 matching grant of restricted stock grants for ordinary voting common shares (or for Canadian taxpayers, restricted stock units) based on the aggregate purchase price of ordinary voting common shares the director purchased during the six-month period beginning on June 18, 2013 and ending on December 31, 2013, or for new directors within 6 months of their initial appointment date (the “Purchase Period”). Matching share grants of 148,152 restricted stock grants for ordinary voting common shares and 37,038 restricted stock units were made on February 28, 2014 (the “Grant Date”). The number of ordinary voting common shares issued on the Grant Date were determined by dividing (A) the dollar amount of the Company matching contribution due based on purchases during the Purchase Period by (B) the closing common share price of one share of Company ordinary voting common stock at close of market on June 17, 2013 (the “Closing Price”) which was $8.10 per share. The restricted stock grants for ordinary voting common shares will vest 20% on each anniversary of the Grant Date, subject to the terms of the Guidelines. The matching grant will be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Equity Incentive Plan and applicable grant agreements. The Company will incur $25,000 of compensation expense per month relating to these restricted grants for ordinary voting common shares. As of the six month period ended June 30, 2014, the Company has expensed $100,000.
	Warrants - On November 1, 2010, 1,327,840 subscription receipts were issued in a private placement for ordinary voting common shares of Atlas as well as warrants to purchase 1,327,840 ordinary voting common shares of Atlas for C$6.00 per share. The subscription receipts were converted to Atlas ordinary voting common shares at Atlas' formation. During 2013, all outstanding warrants were exercised prior to their expiration on December 31, 2013.

	OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
	Defined Contribution Plan - In January 2011, Atlas formed a defined contribution 401(k) plan covering all qualified employees of Atlas and its subsidiaries. Employees can choose to contribute up to 60% of their annual earnings, but not more than $17,500 for 2014, to the plan. Qualifying employees age 50 and older can contribute an additional $5,500 during 2014. Effective April 2014, Atlas matches 100% of the employee contribution up to 2.5% of annual earnings plus 50% of additional contributions up to 2.5% of annual earnings for a total maximum expense of 3.75% of annual earnings per participant. Atlas contributions are discretionary. Employees are 100% vested in their own contributions and vest in Atlas contributions based on years of service equally over 5 years with 100% vested after 5 years. Company contributions were $95,000 and $71,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	Employee Stock Purchase Plan - In the second quarter of 2011, Atlas initiated the Atlas Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) to encourage continued employee interest in the operation, growth and development of Atlas and to provide an additional investment opportunity to employees. Beginning in June 2011, full time and permanent part time employees working more than 30 hours per week were allowed to invest up to 5% of adjusted salary in Atlas ordinary voting common shares. Effective April 2014, Atlas matches 100% of the employee contribution up to 2.5% of annual earnings plus 50% of additional contributions up to 5% of annual earnings for a total maximum expense of 5% of annual earnings per participant. Atlas also pays all administrative costs related to this plan. Atlas' costs incurred related to the matching portion of the ESPP were $48,000 and $27,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Shares purchased pursuant to this plan are made in the open market.

	SHARE CAPITAL
	On December 7, 2012, a shareholder meeting was held where a one-for-three reverse stock split was unanimously approved. When the reverse stock split took effect on January 29, 2013, it decreased the authorized and outstanding ordinary voting common shares and restricted voting common shares at a ratio of one-for-three. The primary objective of the reverse stock split was to increase the per share price of Atlas' ordinary voting common shares to meet certain listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market. The share capital for the common shares is as follows:
			June 30, 2014			31-Dec-13
		Shares Authorized	Shares Issued and Outstanding	Amount (in '000s)		Shares Issued and Outstanding	Amount (in '000s)
	Ordinary Voting Common	266,666,667	11,638,723	$	35	9,291,871	$	28
	Restricted Voting Common	33,333,334	132,863	—		132,863	—
	Total common shares	300,000,001	11,771,586	$	35	9,424,734	$	28
	On February 11, 2013, an aggregate of 4,125,000 Atlas ordinary voting common shares were offered in Atlas' initial public offering in the United States. 1,500,000 ordinary voting common shares were offered by Atlas and 2,625,000 ordinary voting common shares were sold by Kingsway America Inc. ("KAI"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kingsway Financial Services Inc., or other Kingsway subsidiaries (collectively, "Kingsway") at a price of $5.85 per share, less underwriting discounts and expenses. Atlas also granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to an aggregate of 618,750 additional shares at the public offering price of $5.85 per share to cover over-allotments, if any. On March 11, 2013, the underwriters exercised this option and purchased an additional 451,500 shares. After underwriting and other expenses, Atlas realized combined proceeds of $9.8 million.
	During the six month period ended June 30, 2014, the Company issued 148,152 participative restricted grants for ordinary voting common shares and 37,700 fully vested ordinary voting common shares to directors and officers, respectively. The Company also issued 37,038 participative restricted stock units (RSUs) to its non-US director. These shares and RSUs were granted under the Company's equity incentive plan.
	On May 27, 2014, Atlas announced the closing and settlement of its underwritten public offering of 2,000,000 ordinary voting common shares of the Company at a price to the public of $12.50 per share for gross proceeds of $25.0 million. Underwriters exercised their right to purchase an additional 161,000 ordinary voting common shares, increasing gross proceeds to $27.0 million. The net proceeds from the sale of the shares, after deducting the underwriters’ discounts and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, were approximately $25.0 million.
	All of the issued and outstanding restricted voting common shares are beneficially owned or controlled by Kingsway. The restricted voting common shares are entitled to vote at all meetings of shareholders, except at meetings of holders of a specific class that are entitled to vote separately as a class. The restricted voting common shares as a class shall not carry more than 30% of the aggregate votes eligible to be voted at a general meeting of common shareholders.
	The restricted voting common shares will convert to ordinary voting common shares in the event that these Kingsway-owned shares are sold to non-affiliates of the Company.
	There were 2,000,000 preferred shares outstanding at June 30, 2014, all of which are beneficially owned or controlled by Hendricks. Preferred shareholders are entitled to dividends on a cumulative basis, whether or not declared by the Board of Directors, at the rate of $0.045 per share per year (4.5%) and may be paid in cash or in additional preferred shares at the option of Atlas. In liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Atlas, preferred shareholders receive the greater of $1.00 per share plus all declared and unpaid dividends or the amount they would receive in liquidation if the preferred shares had been converted to restricted voting common shares or ordinary voting common shares immediately prior to liquidation. Preferred shares are convertible into ordinary voting common shares at the option of the holder at any date after the fifth year of issuance at the rate of 0.1270 ordinary voting common shares for each preferred share. The conversion rate is subject to change if the number of ordinary voting common shares or restricted voting common shares changes by way of an anti-dilution event. The preferred shares are redeemable at the option of Atlas at a price of $1.00 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends commencing two years from January 1, 2013 (the issuance date of the preferred shares). Preferred shares are not entitled to vote.
	During the six month period ended June 30, 2014, Atlas did not declare or pay dividends earned through the preferred shares. Hendricks earned $46,000 in dividends during the six month period ended June 30, 2014, and has $136,000 accrued through June 30, 2014, which remains unpaid. The 18,000,000 preferred shares previously owned by Kingsway were repurchased by the Company on August 1, 2013 pursuant to the Share Repurchase Agreement.

Related Party Transactions	'
	RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
	The business of Atlas is carried on through its insurance subsidiaries. Atlas’ insurance subsidiaries have been parties to various transactions with affiliates in the past, although activity in this regard has diminished over time. Related party transactions, including services provided or received by Atlas’ insurance subsidiaries, are carried out in the normal course of operations and are measured at the amount of consideration paid or received as established and agreed upon by the parties. Such transactions typically include claims handling services, marketing services and commission payments. Management believes that consideration paid for such services approximates fair value.
	As a result of the preferred shares repurchased by the Company on August 1, 2013 pursuant to the Share Repurchase Agreement and the restricted voting common shares sold on October 18, 2013, Atlas is no longer considered part of the Kingsway holding company system and, therefore, no longer deemed a significant affiliate.

	On May 7, 2014, American Insurance Acquisition, Inc. (“American Acquisition”), a subsidiary of Atlas Financial Holdings, Inc. (the “Corporation”), entered into a loan and security agreement (“Loan Agreement”) for a $10 million revolving loan facility. The revolving loan facility is with Fifth Third Bank. Under the Loan Agreement, funds may be borrowed and re-borrowed on a revolving basis by American Acquisition, from the closing date until (but not including) May 7, 2015, the loan maturity date. The interest rate on the advances under the revolving loan facility will generally be LIBOR plus 2.75%, provided that, during a default, interest shall accrue at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 5%. In addition, there is a non-utilization fee equal to 0.25% per annum of an amount equal to $10 million less the daily average of the aggregate principal amount of the revolving loans outstanding plus the aggregate amount of the letter of credit obligations outstanding. The Loan Agreement also provides for the issuance of letters of credit in an amount up to $2 million outstanding at any time.
	The Loan Agreement requires us to comply with customary affirmative and negative covenants, including those governing indebtedness, liens, investments, sales of assets, issuance of securities, and distributions. The Loan Agreement also requires us to comply with certain financial covenants, including the Operating Subsidiaries (defined below) maintaining a combined statutory net worth in an amount not less than $50 million. The revolving loan facility is secured by all of the outstanding shares of American Country Insurance Company, American Service Insurance Company, Inc., Camelot Services, Inc. and Gateway Insurance Company, which are wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiaries of American Acquisition (the “Operating Subsidiaries”). As of June 30, 2014, no funds were accessed from the line of credit nor were there letters of credit issued under the terms of this Loan Agreement.
