Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Organization and Basis of Presentation | (a) Organization Oxbridge Re Holdings Limited (the “Company”) was incorporated as an exempted company on April 4, 2013 under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Oxbridge Re Holdings Limited owns 100% of the equity interest in Oxbridge Reinsurance Limited, an exempted entity incorporated on April 23, 2013 under the laws of the Cayman Islands and for which a Class “C” Insurer’s license was granted on April 29, 2013 under the provisions of the Cayman Islands Insurance Law. Oxbridge Re Holdings Limited also owns 100% of the equity interest in Oxbridge Re NS, an entity incorporated as an exempted company on December 22, 2017 under the laws of the Cayman Islands to function as a reinsurance sidecar facility and to increase the underwriting capacity of Oxbridge Reinsurance Limited. The Company, through its subsidiaries (collectively “Oxbridge Re”) provides collateralized reinsurance in the property catastrophe market and invests in various insurance-linked securities. The Company operates as a single business segment through its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company’s headquarters and principal executive offices are located at Suite 201, 42 Edward Street, Georgetown, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, and have their registered offices at P.O. Box 309, Ugland House, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands. The Company’s ordinary shares and warrants are listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbols “OXBR” and “OXBRW,” respectively. (b) Basis of Presentation and Consolidation The accompanying unaudited, consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules for interim financial reporting. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations for any subsequent interim period or for thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 included in the Company’s Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 19, 2019 In preparing the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements, management was required to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures at the financial reporting date and throughout the periods being reported upon. Certain of the estimates result from judgments that can be subjective and complex and consequently actual results may differ from these estimates, which would be reflected in future periods. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near-term relate to the determination of the reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses, which include amounts estimated for claims incurred but not yet reported. The Company uses various assumptions and actuarial data it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances to make these estimates. In addition, accounting policies specific to valuation of investments and assessment of other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) involve significant judgments and estimates material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company consolidates in these Consolidated Financial Statements the results of operations and financial position of all voting interest entities (“VOE”) in which the Company has a controlling financial interest and all variable interest entities (“VIE”) in which the Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary. The consolidation assessment, including the determination as to whether an entity qualifies as a VIE or VOE, depends on the facts and circumstances surrounding each entity. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Significant Accounting Policies | Cash and cash equivalents: Restricted cash and cash equivalents: Investments : Unrealized gains or losses are determined by comparing the fair market value of the securities with their cost or amortized cost. Realized gains and losses on investments are recorded on the trade date and are included in the consolidated statements of operations. The cost of securities sold is based on the specified identification method. Investment income is recognized as earned and discounts or premiums arising from the purchase of debt securities are recognized in investment income using the interest method over the remaining term of the security. The Company reviews all fixed-maturity securities for other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") on a quarterly basis and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such review. When the fair value of any investment is lower than its cost, an assessment is made to see whether the decline is temporary of other-than-temporary. If the decline is determined to be other-than-temporary the investment is written down to fair value and an impairment charge is recognized in operations in the period in which the Company makes such determination. For a fixed-maturity security that the Company does not intend to sell nor is it more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell before recovery of its amortized cost, only the credit loss component is recognized in operations, while impairment related to all other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income. The Company considers various factors in determining whether an individual security is other-than-temporarily impaired (see Note 4). Fair value measurement Level 1 Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date; Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active; and Level 3 Inputs that are unobservable. Inputs are used in applying the various valuation techniques and broadly refer to the assumptions that market participants use to make valuation decisions, including assumptions about risk. For fixed maturity securities, inputs may include price information, volatility statistics, specific and broad credit data, liquidity statistics, broker quotes for similar securities and other factors. The fair value of investments in stocks and exchange-traded funds is based on the last traded price. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. However, the determination of what constitutes “observable” requires significant judgment by the Company’s investment custodians. The investment custodians consider observable data to be market data which is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant markets. The categorization of a financial instrument within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the instrument. Derivative Financial Instruments: Deferred policy acquisition costs (“DAC”): Property and equipment: Allowance for uncollectible receivables: Reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses: Loss experience refund payable: Premiums assumed: Subsequent adjustments of premiums assumed, based on reports of actual premium by the ceding companies, or revisions in estimates of ultimate premium, are recorded in the period in which they are determined. Such adjustments are generally determined after the associated risk periods have expired, in which case the premium adjustments are fully earned when assumed. Certain contracts allow for reinstatement premiums in the event of a full limit loss prior to the expiration of the contract. A reinstatement premium is not due until there is a full limit loss event and therefore, in accordance with GAAP, the Company records a reinstatement premium as written only in the event that the reinsured incurs a full limit loss on the contract and the contract allows for a reinstatement of coverage upon payment of an additional premium. For catastrophe contracts which contractually require the payment of a reinstatement premium equal to or greater than the original premium upon the occurrence of a full limit loss, the reinstatement premiums are earned over the original contract period. Reinstatement premiums that are contractually calculated on a pro-rata basis of the original premiums are earned over the remaining coverage period. Unearned Premiums Ceded: Ceded premiums are written during the period in which the risk incept and are expensed over the contract period in proportion to the period of protection. Unearned premiums ceded consist of the unexpired portion of the reinsurance obtained. Uncertain income tax positions: For income tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the tax amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements, if any, is reduced by the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant taxing authority. The application of this authoritative guidance has had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements because the Company had no uncertain tax positions at March 31, 2019. Loss per share: Basic loss per share has been computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted loss per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding and reflects the assumed exercise or conversion of diluted securities, such as stock options and warrants, computed using the treasury stock method. Stock-Based Compensation The Company uses the straight-line attribution method for all grants that include only a service condition. Compensation expense related to all awards is included in general and administrative expenses. Recent adopted accounting pronouncements Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02. For operating leases, the asset and liability are expensed over the lease term on a straight-line basis, with all cash flows included in the operating section of the statement of cash flows. For finance leases, interest on the lease liability is recognized separately from the amortization of the right-of-use asset in the statement of comprehensive income and the repayment of the principal portion of the lease liability is classified as a financing activity while the interest component is included in the operating section of the statement of cash flows.

Investments, Debt and Equity Securities [Abstract] | |
Investments | The Company invests in fixed-maturity securities and equity securities, with its fixed-maturity securities classified as available-for-sale. At March 31, 2019, the Company did not hold any available-for-sale securities. At December 31, 2018, the cost or amortized cost, gross unrealized gains and losses, and estimated fair value of the Company’s available-for-sale securities by security type were as follows: Amortized Cost Gross Unrealized Gains Gross Unrealized Loss Estimated Fair Value As of December 31, 2018 ($ in thousands) Fixed-maturity securities U.S. Treasury and agency securities $ 991 $ 2 $ - $ 993 Total fixed-maturity securities 991 2 - 993 Total available for sale securities $ 991 $ 2 $ - $ 993 At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, available-for-sale securities with fair value of $0 and $993,000, respectively, were held in trust accounts as collateral under reinsurance contacts with the Company’s ceding insurers. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities as borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without penalties. All of the Company's available for sale securities have scheduled contractual maturities after one year and through five years at December 31, 2018. Proceeds received, and the gross realized gains and losses from sales of available-for-sale fixed-maturity securities, and equity securities, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were as follows: Gross proceeds from sales Gross Realized Gains Gross Realized Losses ($ in thousands) Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Available-for-sale fixed-maturity securities $ 994 $ 3 $ - Equity securities $ - $ - $ - Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 Available-for-sale fixed-maturity securities $ 3,000 $ 3 $ - Equity securities $ 6,033 $ 418 $ (594 ) The Company regularly reviews its individual investment securities for OTTI. The Company considers various factors in determining whether each individual debt security is other-than-temporarily impaired, including: ● the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events that may affect its operations or income; ● the length of time and the extent to which the market value of the security has been below its cost or amortized cost; ● general market conditions and industry or sector specific factors; ● nonpayment by the issuer of its contractually obligated interest and principal payments; and ● the Company’s intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for the recovery of costs. At December 31, 2018, there were no available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position.

Derivative Instruments | Inward Industry Loss Warranty ("ILW") Swap In January 2018, the Company entered into an inward ILW swap (the "2018 Inward ILW Swap") with a third-party under which qualifying loss payments are triggered by reference to the level of losses incurred by the insurance industry as a whole, rather than by losses incurred by the insured. In return for a fixed payment received of $1 million, the Company was required to make a floating payment in the event of certain losses incurred from specified natural catastrophes in North America, Caribbean, Europe, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and Latin America from January 2018 to December 2018. The Company’s maximum payment obligation under the 2018 Inward ILW Swap was $4 million. The ILW Swap expired on December 31, 2018 and the Company did not not renew the ILW Swap during the quarter ending March 31, 2019. During the quarter ending March 31, 2019, the Company settled its payment obligation of $4 million under the 2018 Inward ILW Swap. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Taxation | Under current Cayman Islands law, no corporate entity, including the Company and the subsidiaries, is obligated to pay taxes in the Cayman Islands on either income or capital gains. The Company and its subsidiaries have an undertaking from the Governor-in-Cabinet of the Cayman Islands, pursuant to the provisions of the Tax Concessions Law, as amended, that, in the event that the Cayman Islands enacts any legislation that imposes tax on profits, income, gains or appreciations, or any tax in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax, such tax will not be applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries or their operations, or to the ordinary shares or related obligations, until April 23, 2033 and May 17, 2033, respectively. The Company and its subsidiaries intend to conduct substantially all of their operations in the Cayman Islands in a manner such that they will not be engaged in a trade or business in the U.S. However, because there is no definitive authority regarding activities that constitute being engaged in a trade or business in the U.S. for federal income tax purposes, the Company cannot assure that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service will not contend, perhaps successfully, that the Company or its subsidiary is engaged in a trade or business in the U.S. A foreign corporation deemed to be so engaged would be subject to U.S. federal income tax, as well as branch profits tax, on its income that is treated as effectively connected with the conduct of that trade or business unless the corporation is entitled to relief under an applicable tax treaty. |

Variable Interest Entity, Measure of Activity [Abstract] | |
Variable Interest Entities | Oxbridge Re NS. The Company has determined that Oxbridge Re NS meets the definition of a VIE as it does not have sufficient equity capital to finance its activities. The Company concluded that it is the primary beneficiary and has consolidated the subsidiary upon its formation, as it owns 100% of the voting shares, 100% of the issued share capital and has a significant financial interest and the power to control the activities of Oxbridge Re NS that most significantly impacts its economic performance. The Company has no other obligation to provide financial support to Oxbridge Re NS. Neither the creditors nor beneficial interest holders of Oxbridge Re NS have recourse to the Company’s general credit. Upon issuance of a series of participating notes by Oxbridge Re NS, all of the proceeds from the issuance are deposited into collateral accounts, to fund any potential obligation under the reinsurance agreements entered into with Oxbridge Reinsurance Limited underlying such series of notes. The outstanding principal amount of each series of notes generally is expected to be returned to holders of such notes upon the expiration of the risk period underlying such notes, unless an event occurs which causes a loss under the applicable series of notes, in which case the amount returned is expected to be reduced by such noteholder's pro rata share of such loss, as specified in the applicable governing documents of such notes. In addition, holders of such notes are generally entitled to interest payments, payable annually, as determined by the applicable governing documents of each series of notes. Oxbridge Re Holdings Limited receives an origination and structuring fee in connection with the formation, operation and management of Oxbridge Re NS. Notes Payable to Series 2018-1 noteholders Oxbridge Re NS issued $2 million of participating notes on June 1, 2018, all of which were issued to third parties and which provides quota share support for Oxbridge Re’s global property catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance business. The operations of Oxbridge Re NS commenced on June 1, 2018. The participating notes were due to mature on June 1, 2021. However, during the quarter ending December 31, 2018, the participating notes were triggered, and suffered full loss. |

Resserve for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses | The following table summarizes the Company’s loss and loss adjustment expenses (“LAE”) and the reserve for loss and LAE reserve movements for the three-month periods ending March 31, 2019 and 2018: At March 31, At March 31, 2019 2018 (in thousands) Balance, beginning of period 4,108 $ 4,836 Incurred related to: Current period - - Prior period - - Total incurred - - Paid related to: Current period - - Prior period (4,001 ) (682 ) Total paid (4,001 ) (682 ) Balance, end of period 107 $ 4,154 The reserves for losses and LAE are comprised of case reserves (which are based on claims that have been reported) and IBNR reserves (which are based on losses that are believed to have occurred but for which claims have not yet been reported and include a provision for expected future development on existing case reserves). The Company uses the assistance of an independent actuary in the determination of IBNR and expected future development of existing case reserves. The uncertainties inherent in the reserving process and potential delays by cedants and brokers in the reporting of loss information, together with the potential for unforeseen adverse developments, may result in the reserve for losses and LAE ultimately being significantly greater or less than the reserve provided at the end of any given reporting period. The degree of uncertainty is further increased when a significant loss event takes place near the end of a reporting period. Reserve for losses and LAE estimates are reviewed periodically on a contract by contract basis and updated as new information becomes known. Any resulting adjustments are reflected in income in the period in which they become known. The Company’s reserving process is highly dependent on the timing of loss information received from its cedants and related brokers. |

Loss Per Share | A summary of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted loss per share is presented below (dollars in thousands except per share amounts): Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 2018 Numerator: Net loss (147) (211) Denominator: Weighted average shares - basic 5,733,587 5,733,587 Weighted average shares - diluted 5,733,587 5,733,587 Loss per share - basic (0.03) (0.04) Loss per share - diluted (0.03) (0.04) For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, options to purchase 540,000 ordinary shares were anti-dilutive due to net loss during the periods presented. For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, 8,230,700 warrants to purchase an aggregate of 8,230,700 ordinary shares were anti-dilutive due to net loss during the periods presented. GAAP requires the Company to use the two-class method in computing basic loss per share since holders of the Company’s restricted stock have the right to share in dividends, if declared, equally with common stockholders. These participating securities effect the computation of both basic and diluted loss per share during periods of net loss. |

Equity [Abstract] | |
Shareholders' Equity | On February 28, 2014, the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended, relating to the initial public offering of the Company’s units was declared effective by the SEC. The Registration Statement covered the offer and sale by the Company of 4,884,650 units, each consisting of one ordinary share and one warrant (“Unit”), which were sold to the public on March 26, 2014 at a price of $6.00 per Unit. The ordinary shares and warrants comprising the Units began separate trading on May 9, 2014. The ordinary shares and warrants are traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “OXBR” and “OXBRW,” respectively. One warrant may be exercised to acquire one ordinary share at an exercise price equal to $7.50 per share on or before March 26, 2024, as amended. At any time after September 26, 2014 and before the expiration of the warrants, the Company at its option may cancel the warrants in whole or in part, provided that the closing price per ordinary share has exceeded $9.38 for at least ten trading days within any period of twenty consecutive trading days, including the last trading day of the period. The initial public offering resulted in aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $29.3 million (of which approximately $5 million related to the fair value proceeds on the warrants issued) and net proceeds of approximately $26.9 million after deducting underwriting commissions and offering expenses. There were 8,230,700 warrants outstanding at March 31, 2019 and 2018. No warrants were exercised during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. As of March 31, 2019, none of the Company’s retained earnings were restricted from payment of dividends to the company’s shareholders. However, since most of the Company’s capital and retained earnings may be invested in its subsidiaries, a dividend from the subsidiaries would likely be required in order to fund a dividend to the Company’s shareholders and would require notification to the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (“CIMA”). Under Cayman Islands law, the use of additional paid-in capital is restricted, and the Company will not be allowed to pay dividends out of additional paid-in capital if such payments result in breaches of the prescribed and minimum capital requirement.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract] | |
Share-Based Compensation | The Company currently has outstanding stock-based awards granted under the 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, the Company has discretion to grant equity and cash incentive awards to eligible individuals, including the issuance of up to 1,000,000 of the Company’s ordinary shares. At March 31, 2019, there were 400,000 shares available for grant under the Plan. Stock options The Company accounts for share-based compensation under the fair value recognition provisions of ASC Topic 718 – “Compensation – Stock Compensation.” Stock options granted and outstanding under the Plan vests quarterly over four years and are exercisable over the contractual term of ten years. A summary of the stock option activity for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 is as follows: Number of Options Weighted- Average Exercise Price Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term Aggregate Intrinsic Value Outstanding at January 1, 2019 250,000 Granted 290,000 $ 2.00 Outstanding at March 31, 2019 540,000 $ 3.86 8.1 years $ - Exercisable at March 31, 2019 246,250 $ 5.71 6.4 years $ - Outstanding at January 1, 2018 250,000 Granted - Outstanding at March 31, 2018 250,000 $ 6.01 7.2 years $ - Exercisable at March 31, 2018 176,875 $ 6.01 7.2 years $ - Compensation expense recognized for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 totaled $9,000. Compensation expense is included in general and administrative expenses. At March 31, 2019 and 2018, there was approximately $112,000 and $44,000, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock options granted under the Plan. T he Company expects to recognize the remaining compensation expense over a weighted-average period of thirty-nine (39) months. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, 290,000 (2018: Nil) options were granted with fair value estimated on the date of grant using the following assumptions and the Black-Scholes option pricing model: 2019 Expected dividend yield 0 % Expected volatility 31 % Risk-free interest rate 2.59 % Expected life (in years) 10 Per share grant date fair value of options issued $ 0.36 At the time of the grant, the dividend yield was based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts at the time of the grant; expected volatility was based on volatility of similar companies’ common stock; the risk-free rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect and the expected life was based on the contractual life of the options. Restricted Stock Awards The Company has granted and may grant restricted stock awards to eligible individuals in connection with their service to the Company. The terms of the Company’s outstanding restricted stock grants may include service, performance and market-based conditions. The fair value of any awards with market-based conditions is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation method, which calculates many potential outcomes for an award and then establishes fair value based on the most likely outcome. The determination of fair value with respect to the awards with only performance or service-based conditions is based on the value of the Company’s stock on the grant date. During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not grant any restricted stock. At March 31, 2019, there were no unvested restricted stock. Compensation expense recognized for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 totaled $0 and $22,000, respectively, and is included in general and administrative expenses. At March 31, 2019 and 2018, there was approximately $0 and $66,000, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock granted under the Plan. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value and Certain Risks and Uncertainties | Fair values With the exception of balances in respect of insurance contracts (which are specifically excluded from fair value disclosures under GAAP) and investment securities and derivative instruments as disclosed in Note 4 and 5 of these consolidated financial statements, the carrying amounts of all other financial instruments, which consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest and dividends receivable, premiums receivable and other assets and accounts payable and other liabilities, approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. Concentration of underwriting risk A substantial portion of the Company’s current reinsurance business ultimately relates to the risks of two entities; accordingly, the Company’s underwriting risks are not significantly diversified. Concentrations of Credit and Counterparty Risk The Company’s derivative instruments are subject to counterparty risk. The Company routinely monitor this risk. The Company markets retrocessional and reinsurance policies worldwide through its brokers. Credit risk exists to the extent that any of these brokers may be unable to fulfill their contractual obligations to the Company. For example, the Company is required to pay amounts owed on claims under policies to brokers, and these brokers, in the Company. In some jurisdictions, if a broker fails to make such a payment, the Company might remain liable to the ceding company for the deficiency. In addition, in certain jurisdictions, when the ceding company pays premiums for these policies to brokers, these premiums are considered to have been paid and the ceding insurer is no longer liable to the Company for those amounts, whether or not the premiums have actually been received. The Company remains liable for losses it incurs to the extent that any third-party reinsurer is unable or unwilling to make timely payments under reinsurance agreements. The Company would also be liable in the event that its ceding companies were unable to collect amounts due from underlying third-party reinsurers. In addition, the Company is exposed to credit risk on fixed-maturity debt instruments to the extent that the debtors may default on their debt obligations. The Company mitigates its concentrations of credit and counterparty risk by using reputable and several counterparties which decreases the likelihood of any significant concentration of credit risk with any one counterparty. Additionally, the Company invests in fixed-maturity securities that are investment grade or higher. Market risk Market risk exists to the extent that the values of the Company’s monetary assets fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices. Changes in market prices can arise from factors specific to individual securities or their respective issuers, or factors affecting all securities traded in a particular market. Relevant factors for the Company are both volatility and liquidity of specific securities and markets in which the Company holds investments. The Company has established investment guidelines that seek to mitigate significant exposure to market risk. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Leases | We adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases on January 1, 2019, which resulted in the recognition of operating leases on the consolidated balance sheet in 2019 and forward. See Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies for more information on the adoption of the ASU. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are disclosed as line in the consolidated balance sheet. We determine if a contract contains a lease at inception and recognize operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments at the commencement date. As our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. Lease agreements that have lease and non-lease components, are accounted for as a single lease component. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company’s operating lease obligations are for the Company’s office facilities. Our lease have remaining lease terms of approximately 5 years, and include an option to extend the leases. Under the terms of the lease, the Company also has the right to terminate the lease after thirty-six (36) months upon giving appropriate notice in writing to the Lessor. The components of lease expense and other lease information as of and during the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 are as follows: For the Three-Month Period (in thousands) Ended March 31, 2019 Operating Lease Cost (1) $ 19 Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities Operating cash flows from operating leases $ 33 (1) Includes short-term leases (in thousands) 31-Mar-19 Operating lease right-of-use assets $ 155 Operating lease liabilities $ 149 Weighted-average remaining lease term - operating leases 4.92 years Weighted-average discount rate - operating leases 6.5 % Future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable leases as of March 31, 2019, reconciled to our discounted operating lease liability presented on the consolidated balance sheet are as follows: (in thousands) 31-Mar-19 31-Dec-18 Remainder of 2019 $ 21 $ - 2020 36 - 2021 36 - 2022 37 - 2023 37 - Thereafter 6 - Total future minimum lease payments $ 173 $ - Less imputed interest (24) N/A Total operating lease liability $ 149 N/A |

Cash and cash equivalents | Cash and cash equivalents: |

Investments | Investments : Unrealized gains or losses are determined by comparing the fair market value of the securities with their cost or amortized cost. Realized gains and losses on investments are recorded on the trade date and are included in the consolidated statements of operations. The cost of securities sold is based on the specified identification method. Investment income is recognized as earned and discounts or premiums arising from the purchase of debt securities are recognized in investment income using the interest method over the remaining term of the security. The Company reviews all fixed-maturity securities for other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") on a quarterly basis and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such review. When the fair value of any investment is lower than its cost, an assessment is made to see whether the decline is temporary of other-than-temporary. If the decline is determined to be other-than-temporary the investment is written down to fair value and an impairment charge is recognized in operations in the period in which the Company makes such determination. For a fixed-maturity security that the Company does not intend to sell nor is it more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell before recovery of its amortized cost, only the credit loss component is recognized in operations, while impairment related to all other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income. The Company considers various factors in determining whether an individual security is other-than-temporarily impaired (see Note 4). |
Fair value measurement | Fair value measurement Level 1 Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date; Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active; and Level 3 Inputs that are unobservable. Inputs are used in applying the various valuation techniques and broadly refer to the assumptions that market participants use to make valuation decisions, including assumptions about risk. For fixed maturity securities, inputs may include price information, volatility statistics, specific and broad credit data, liquidity statistics, broker quotes for similar securities and other factors. The fair value of investments in stocks and exchange-traded funds is based on the last traded price. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. However, the determination of what constitutes “observable” requires significant judgment by the Company’s investment custodians. The investment custodians consider observable data to be market data which is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant markets. The categorization of a financial instrument within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the instrument. |

Premiums assumed | Premiums assumed: Subsequent adjustments of premiums assumed, based on reports of actual premium by the ceding companies, or revisions in estimates of ultimate premium, are recorded in the period in which they are determined. Such adjustments are generally determined after the associated risk periods have expired, in which case the premium adjustments are fully earned when assumed. Certain contracts allow for reinstatement premiums in the event of a full limit loss prior to the expiration of the contract. A reinstatement premium is not due until there is a full limit loss event and therefore, in accordance with GAAP, the Company records a reinstatement premium as written only in the event that the reinsured incurs a full limit loss on the contract and the contract allows for a reinstatement of coverage upon payment of an additional premium. For catastrophe contracts which contractually require the payment of a reinstatement premium equal to or greater than the original premium upon the occurrence of a full limit loss, the reinstatement premiums are earned over the original contract period. Reinstatement premiums that are contractually calculated on a pro-rata basis of the original premiums are earned over the remaining coverage period. |
Unearned premiums ceded | Unearned Premiums Ceded: Ceded premiums are written during the period in which the risk incept and are expensed over the contract period in proportion to the period of protection. Unearned premiums ceded consist of the unexpired portion of the reinsurance obtained. |
Uncertain income tax positions | Uncertain income tax positions: For income tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the tax amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements, if any, is reduced by the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant taxing authority. The application of this authoritative guidance has had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements because the Company had no uncertain tax positions at March 31, 2019. |
