	Patriot National, Inc. (“Patriot National” or “the Company”) is a national provider of comprehensive outsourcing solutions within the workers’ compensation marketplace for insurance companies, employers, local governments and reinsurance captives. We offer an end-to-end portfolio of services to increase business production, contain costs and reduce claims experience for our clients. We leverage our strong distribution relationships, proprietary business processes, advanced technology infrastructure and management expertise to deliver valuable solutions to our clients. We strive to deliver these value-added services to our clients in order to help them navigate the workers’ compensation landscape, ensure compliance with state regulations, handle all aspects of the claims process and ultimately contain costs.
	The Company offers two types of services: brokerage, underwriting and policyholder services (or our “brokerage and policyholder services”) and claims administration services (or our “claims administration services”).
	We generate fee income for our services from our clients based on (1) a percentage of premiums for the policies we service, (2) the cost savings we achieve for our clients or (3) a fixed fee for a particular service. Unlike our insurance and reinsurance carrier clients, we do not generate underwriting income or assume underwriting risk on workers’ compensation plans. Patriot National is headquartered in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

New Accounting Pronouncements And Changes In Accounting Principles [Abstract]
Effect of Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards	2	Effect of Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards
	In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The update requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of being presented as an asset. The update requires retrospective application. ASU 2015-03 is effective for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted but we do not anticipate electing early adoption.
	In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15 regarding Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern. The updated guidance related to determining whether substantial doubt exists about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern. The amendment provides guidance for determining whether conditions or events give rise to substantial doubt that an entity has the ability to continue as a going concern within one year following issuance of the financial statements and requires specific disclosures regarding the conditions or events leading to substantial doubt. The updated guidance is effective for annual reporting periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Earlier adoption is permitted, but we do not anticipate electing early adoption. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our combined financial statements.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 regarding ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standard provides principles for recognizing revenue for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers with the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. For a publicly-held entity, this guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period, and early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the accounting, transition and disclosure requirements of the standard and cannot currently estimate the financial statement impact of adoption.
	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08 regarding ASC Topics 205 and 360, Reporting Discontinued Operations. The updated guidance related to reporting discontinued operations and disclosures of disposals of components of an entity. Under the amendment, only those disposals of components of an entity that represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results will be reported as discontinued operations in the financial statements. Additionally, the elimination of the component's operations, cash flows and significant continuing involvement conditions have been removed. Further, an equity method investment could be reported as discontinued operations. The updated guidance is effective prospectively for all disposals or classifications as held for sale that occur within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of this guidance has not had a material impact on our combined financial statements.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Business Combination	3	Business Combinations
	The Company completed four acquisitions during the three-month period ended March 31, 2015. We acquired substantially all of the net assets of the following firms in cash transactions. These acquisitions have been accounted for using the acquisition method for recording business combinations, except for DecisionUR, LLC, as further discussed.
	Name and Effective Date of Acquisition (In thousands):		Cash Paid			Accrued Liability		Recorded Earnout Payable		Maximum Potential Earnout Payable		Total Recorded Purchase Price

	Total		$	6,754		$	3,476	$	9,220	$	9,675	$	15,974
	The Company acquired DecisionUR from Six Points Investment Partners, LLC, a company under common control.  However, results of operations for DUR are included from acquisition date, as its operations are immaterial with respect to the financial statements taken as a whole for all periods presented.
	The maximum potential earnout payables disclosed in the foregoing table represent the maximum amount of additional consideration that could be paid pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement for the applicable acquisition. The amounts recorded as earnout payables, which are primarily based upon the estimated future operating results of the acquired entities over a one- to three-year period subsequent to the acquisition date, are measured at fair value as of the acquisition date and are included on that basis in the recorded purchase price consideration in the foregoing table. We will record subsequent changes in these estimated earnout obligations, including the accretion of discount, in our combined statement of earnings when incurred.
	The fair value of these earnout obligations is based on the present value of the expected future payments to be made to the sellers of the acquired entities in accordance with the provisions outlined in the respective purchase agreements, which is a Level 3 fair value measurement. In determining fair value, we estimated the acquired entity’s future performance using financial projections developed by management for the acquired entity and market participant assumptions that were derived for revenue growth and/or profitability.  We estimated future payments using the earnout formula and performance targets specified in each purchase agreement and these financial projections. We then discounted these payments to present value using a risk-adjusted rate that takes into consideration market-based rates of return that reflect the ability of the acquired entity to achieve the targets. Changes in financial projections, market participant assumptions for revenue growth and/or profitability, or the risk-adjusted discount rate, would result in a change in the fair value of recorded earnout obligations.
	The aggregate amount of maximum earnout obligations related to acquisitions made in 2015 was $9.7 million as of March 31, 2015, of which $9.2 million was recorded in our combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2015, based on the estimated fair value of the expected future payments to be made.
	The following is a summary of the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired at the date of each of the four acquisitions made in the three-months ended March 31, 2015:
	In thousands		Total
	Assets Acquired:
	Cash		$	73
	Restricted cash			2,242
	Accounts receivable			1,238
	Fixed assets			45
	Other assets			149
	Goodwill			5,591
	Intangible assets:
	Customer & carrier relationships			7,756
	Service contracts			320
	Non-compete agreements			889
	Developed technology			639
	Trade name portfolio			509
	Total intangible assets			10,113
	Total assets acquired			19,451
	Liabilities assumed			3,476
	Total net assets acquired		$	15,975
	In accordance with FASB ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, intangible assets, which are comprised solely of the estimated fair value of the service contracts acquired, are being amortized over the estimated life of the customer contracts, ranging from two to ten years, in a manner that, in management’s opinion, reflects the pattern in which the intangible asset’s future economic benefits are expected to be realized. The intangible asset is tested for impairment at least annually (more frequently if certain indicators are present). In the event that management determines that the value of the intangible asset has become impaired, the combined company will incur an accounting charge for the amount of impairment during the fiscal quarter in which the determination is made.
	Provisional estimates of fair value and the allocation of the purchase price are established at the time of each acquisition and are subsequently reviewed within the first year of operations following the acquisition date to determine the necessity for adjustments. The fair value of the tangible assets and liabilities for each applicable acquisition at the acquisition date approximated their carrying values. We estimate the fair value as the present value of the benefits anticipated from ownership of the subject customer list in excess of returns required on the investment in contributory assets necessary to realize those benefits. The rate used to discount the net benefits was based on a risk-adjusted rate that takes into consideration market-based rates of return and reflects the risk of the asset relative to the acquired business. These discount rates generally ranged from 17% to 30% for our year-to-date 2015 acquisitions. The fair value of non-compete agreements was established using estimated financial projections for the acquired company based on market participant assumptions and various non-compete scenarios.
	Customer and carrier relationships, non-compete agreements and trade names related to our acquisitions are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives (ten years for customer and carrier relationships, one to two years for non-compete agreements and five to seven years for trade names), while goodwill is not subject to amortization. We use the straight-line method to amortize these intangible assets because the pattern of their economic benefits cannot be reasonably determined with any certainty. We review all of our intangible assets for impairment periodically (at least annually) and whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. In reviewing intangible assets, if the fair value is less than the carrying amount of the respective (or underlying) asset, an indicator of impairment would exist, and further analysis would be required to determine whether or not a loss would need to be charged against current period earnings. Based on the results of impairment reviews during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, no impairments were required.
	Our combined financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2015 include the operations of the acquired entities from their respective acquisition dates, totaling $0.7 million of revenues and no net income or loss.
	The following is a summary of the unaudited pro forma historical results, as if these entities and Patriot Care Management, which was acquired on August 6, 2014, had been acquired at January 1, 2014 (in thousands, except per share data):
			Three Months Ended March 31,

	Fixed assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for furniture and fixtures and computer equipment are capitalized and depreciated on a straight-line basis over a three-year estimated useful life. Expenditures for leasehold improvements on office space and facilities are capitalized and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
	As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, our major classes of fixed assets consisted of the following:

	Other long term assets, which are solely comprised of capitalized policy and claims administration system development costs, are also stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for capitalized policy and claims administration system development costs are capitalized and amortized on a straight line basis over a five-year estimated useful life.
	As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, other long term assets consisted of the following:

	We periodically review all fixed assets and other long term assets that have finite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Upon sale or retirement, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization of assets disposed of are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in earnings.

	Goodwill
	Goodwill represents the excess of consideration paid over the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested at least annually for impairment (or more frequently if certain indicators are present or management otherwise believes it is appropriate to do so). In the event that management determines that the value of goodwill has become impaired, we will record a charge for the amount of impairment during the fiscal quarter in which the determination is made. We determined that there was no impairment as of March 31, 2015.
	The Company acquired $5.6 million of goodwill in the first quarter of 2015 as a result of the four acquisitions discussed in Note 3, Business Combinations. Changes in goodwill are summarized as follows:

	Senior Secured Credit Facility
	On January 22, 2015, we entered into a Credit Agreement with BMO Harris Bank N.A., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and the other lenders party thereto, which provides for a $40.0 million revolving credit facility and a $40.0 million term loan facility (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”). The Senior Secured Credit Facility has a maturity of five years, and borrowings thereunder bear interest, at our option, at LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 250 basis points to 325 basis points or at base rate plus a margin ranging from 150 basis points to 225 basis points. Margins on all loans and fees will be increased by 2% per annum during the existence of an event of default. The revolving credit facility includes borrowing capacity available for letters of credit and borrowings on same-day notice, referred to as swing line loans. At any time prior to maturity, we have the right to increase the size of the revolving credit facility or the term loan facility by an aggregate amount of up to $20.0 million, but in minimum increments of $5.0 million.
	As of March 31, 2015, the outstanding balance under the $40.0 million revolving credit facility was $4.8 million. Accordingly, the Company had $35.2 million available to borrow under the revolving credit facility.
	In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, we are required to pay a commitment fee to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the lenders under the revolving credit facility in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder, ranging from 35 basis points to 50 basis points, depending on specified leverage ratios. With respect to letters of credit, we are also required to pay a per annum participation fee equal to the applicable LIBOR margin on the face amount of each letter of credit as well as a fee equal to 0.125% on the face amount of each letter of credit issued (or the term of which is extended). This latter 0.125% fee is payable to the issuer of the letter of credit for its own account, along with any standard documentary and processing charges incurred in connection with any letter of credit.
	The term loan facility amortizes quarterly beginning the first full quarter after the closing date at a rate of 5% per annum of the original principal amount during the first two years, 7.5% per annum of the original principal amount during the third and fourth years and 10% per annum of the original principal amount during the fifth year, with the remainder due at maturity. Principal amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility are due and payable in full at maturity. In the event of any sale or other disposition by us or our subsidiaries guaranteeing the Senior Secured Credit Facility of any assets with certain exceptions, we are required to prepay all proceeds received from such a sale towards the remaining scheduled payments of the term loan facility.
	In addition, all obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are guaranteed by all of our existing and future subsidiaries, other than foreign subsidiaries to the extent the assets of all foreign subsidiaries that are not guarantors do not exceed 5% of the total assets of us and our subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, and secured by a first-priority perfected security interest in substantially all our and our guaranteeing subsidiaries’ tangible and intangible assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, including a pledge of 100% of the stock of each guarantor.
	The Senior Secured Credit Facility contains certain covenants that, among other things and subject to significant exceptions, limit our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to engage in certain business and financing activities and that require us to maintain certain financial covenants, including requirements to maintain (i) a maximum total leverage ratio of total outstanding debt to adjusted EBITDA for the most recently-ended four fiscal quarters of no more than 300% and (ii) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of adjusted EBITDA to the sum of cash interest expense (which amount shall be calculated on an annualized basis for the three, six and nine month periods ending March 31, 2015, June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2015) plus income tax expense (or less any income tax benefits) plus capital expenditures plus dividends, share repurchases and other restricted payments plus regularly scheduled principal payments of debt for the same period of a least 150% for the most recently-ended four quarters. The Senior Secured Credit Facility allows us to pay dividends in an amount up to 50% of our net income if certain other financial conditions are met. The Senior Secured Credit Facility contains other restrictive covenants, including those regarding indebtedness (including capital leases) and guarantees; liens; operating leases; investments and acquisitions; loans and advances; mergers, consolidations and other fundamental changes; sales of assets; transactions with affiliates; no material changes in nature of business; dividends and distributions, stock repurchases, and other restricted payments; change in name, jurisdiction of organization or fiscal year; burdensome agreements;. and capital expenditures. The Senior Secured Credit Facility also has events of default that may result in acceleration of the borrowings thereunder, including (i) nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts (subject to customary grace periods for items other than principal); (ii) failure to perform or observe covenants set forth in the loan documentation (subject to customary grace periods for certain affirmative covenants); (iii) any representation or warranty proving to have been incorrect in any material respect when made; (iv) cross-default to other indebtedness and contingent obligations in an aggregate amount in excess of an amount to be agreed upon; (v) bankruptcy and insolvency defaults (with grace period for involuntary proceedings); (vi) inability to pay debts; (vii) monetary judgment defaults in excess of an agreed upon amount; (viii) ERISA defaults; (ix) change of control; (x) actual invalidity or unenforceability of any loan document, any security interest on any material portion of the collateral or asserted (by any loan party) invalidity or unenforceability of any security interest on any collateral; (xi) actual or asserted (by any loan party) invalidity or unenforceability of any guaranty; (xii) material unpaid, final judgments that have not been vacated, discharged, stayed or bonded pending appeal within a specified number of days after the entry thereof; and (xiii) any other event of default agreed to by us and the Administrative Agent.
	As of March 31, 2015, we were in compliance with the financial and other restrictive covenants under our outstanding material debt obligations, including our Senior Secured Credit Facility.
	UBS Credit Agreement
	On August 6, 2014, in connection with the Patriot Care Management Acquisition, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement with UBS Securities LLC (the “UBS Credit Agreement”), which provided for a five-year term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $57.0 million that would mature on August 6, 2019. The loan was secured by the common stock of Patriot Care Management, Inc. (“PCM”) and guaranteed by Guarantee Insurance Group and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Following our initial public offering (the “IPO”), we prepaid all outstanding borrowings under the UBS Credit Agreement, including accrued interest and applicable prepayment premium.
	Our borrowings under the UBS Credit Agreement bore interest at a rate equal to the greatest of (x) the base rate in effect on such day, (y) the federal funds rate in effect on such day plus 0.50% and (z) the adjusted LIBOR rate on such day for a one-month interest period plus 1.00%, subject to a minimum rate, plus an applicable margin of 8.00%, which may be increased by additional amounts under certain specified circumstances. The weighted average interest rate under the UBS Credit Agreement for the year ended December 31, 2014 was 11.25%.  This instrument was repaid in full upon closing on the Senior Secured Credit Facility.
	PennantPark Loan Agreement
	On August 6, 2014, in connection with the GUI Acquisition, we and certain of our subsidiaries, as borrowers, and certain of our other subsidiaries and certain affiliated entities, as guarantors, entered into a loan agreement with the PennantPark Entities as lenders (the “PennantPark Loan Agreement”). Following our IPO, we prepaid all outstanding borrowings under the PennantPark Loan Agreement, including accrued interest and applicable prepayment premium.
	Borrowings under the PennantPark Loan Agreement were comprised of (i) an initial tranche in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $37.8 million, and (ii) an additional tranche in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $30.8 million of new borrowings. Our borrowings under the PennantPark Loan Agreement were funded at a price equal to 97.5% of the par value thereof and bore interest equal to the sum of (i) the greater of 1.0% or LIBOR and (ii) 11.50%. The weighted average interest rate under the PennantPark Loan Agreement for the year ended December 31, 2014 was 12.5%.
	All obligations under the PennantPark Loan Agreement were guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries as well as several affiliated entities, including GUI, and were generally secured by the tangible and intangible property of the borrowers and the guarantors. In connection with both tranches of the PennantPark Loan Agreement, we issued warrants to the PennantPark Entities to purchase an aggregate of 1,110,555 shares of our common stock. This instrument was repaid in full upon closing on the Senior Secured Credit Facility.

	Omnibus Incentive Plan
	On January 15, 2015, the Board of Directors approved the Patriot National, Inc. 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Incentive Plan”), subject to and with effect upon approval of such plan by the stockholders of the Company.
	The compensation committee of our board of directors determines the participants under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. The Omnibus Incentive Plan provides for non-qualified and incentive stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units, any or all of which may be made contingent upon the achievement of performance criteria. Subject to the Omnibus Incentive Plan limits, the compensation committee has the discretionary authority to determine the size of an award.
	Shares of our common stock available for issuance under the Omnibus Incentive Plan include authorized and unissued shares of common stock or authorized and issued shares of common stock reacquired and held as treasury shares or otherwise, or a combination thereof. The number of available shares is reduced by the aggregate number of shares that become subject to outstanding awards granted under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. To the extent that shares subject to an outstanding award granted under either the Omnibus Incentive Plan are not issued or delivered by reason of the expiration, termination, cancellation or forfeiture of such award or by reason of the settlement of such award in cash, then such shares will again be available for grant under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. Shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding requirements upon the vesting of awards other than stock options will also be available for grant under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. Shares that are used to pay the exercise price of an option, shares delivered to or withheld by us to pay withholding taxes related to stock options, and shares that are purchased on the open market with the proceeds of an option exercise, may not again be made available for issuance.
	Stock Options
	In the three months ended March 31, 2015, we issued stock options as incentive compensation for officers and certain key employees on the date of the Initial Public Offering. The exercise price of each stock option is the closing market price of our common stock on the date of grant. The options will vest in three equal annual installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of grant and expire 10 years after the grant date. The fair values of these stock options were estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

	-1	The risk-free interest rate for the periods within the contractual term of the options is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.
	-2	The expected volatility is a measure of the amount by which a stock price has fluctuated or is expected to fluctuate based primarily on our and our peers' historical data.
	-3	The expected life is the period of time, on average, that participants are expected to hold their options before exercise based primarily on our historical data.
	For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we awarded 1,180,400 options with an estimated fair value of $3.1 million. Option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2015 is as follows:

	Restricted Stock Awards
	In 2015, we issued 525,946 restricted shares as incentive compensation for officers, directors, and certain key employees on the date of the Initial Public Offering. Subsequent to issuance, 22,059 restricted shares were forfeited, leaving 503,887 remaining restricted shares outstanding as of March 31, 2015, all of which were unvested. The fair value of outstanding restricted shares at grant date was $7.0 million. Stock grants for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were as follows:

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurement of Financial Liabilities	9	Fair Value Measurement of Financial Liabilities
	With respect to the Company’s financial liabilities, which include notes payable, capital lease obligation, earn-out obligations of acquisitions and warrant redemption liability, the Company has adopted current accounting guidance which establishes the authoritative definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, creates a fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. This guidance defines fair value as the price that would be paid to transfer the warrant redemption liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  As required under current accounting guidance, the Company has identified and disclosed its financial assets in a fair value hierarchy, which consists of the following three levels:
						Definition
	Level 1			Observable unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
	Level 2			Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical securities,
				including:
				(i)		quoted prices in active markets for similar securities.
				(ii)		quoted prices for identical or similar securities in markets that are not active.
				(iii)		inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the security (e.g., interest rates, yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks and default rates).
				(iv)		inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
	Level 3			Unobservable inputs, including the reporting entity’s own data, as long as there is no
				contrary data indicating market participants would use different assumptions.
	The Company’s notes payable, capital lease obligation, earn-out obligations of acquisitions, and warrant redemption liability, for which carrying values were equal to fair values, classified by level within the fair value hierarchy, were as follows as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in thousands):

	Fee income from related party represents fee income earned from Guarantee Insurance Company (“Guarantee Insurance”), a related party as described above. Fee income from Guarantee Insurance for claims administration services is based on the net portion of claims expense retained by Guarantee Insurance pursuant to quota share reinsurance agreements between Guarantee Insurance, Patriot Underwriters, Inc.’s (“PUI”) third party insurance company customers and the segregated portfolio cell reinsurers that assume business written by Guarantee Insurance. Certain fee income from third-party segregated portfolio cell reinsurers is remitted to the Company by Guarantee Insurance on behalf of the segregated portfolio cell reinsurers. Fee income from Guarantee Insurance for brokerage, underwriting and policyholder services represents fees for soliciting applications for workers’ compensation insurance for Guarantee Insurance, based on a percentage of premiums written or other amounts negotiated by the parties.
	For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the allocation of marketing, underwriting and policy issuance costs from related party in the accompanying combined statements of operations represents costs reimbursed to Guarantee Insurance Group for salaries and other costs incurred by Guarantee Insurance Group to provide its policyholder services. Management fees paid to related party for administrative support services in the accompanying combined statements of operations represent amounts paid to Guarantee Insurance Group for management oversight, legal, accounting, human resources and technology support services. Effective August 6, 2014, the management services agreement pursuant to which these fees were payable was terminated and all costs associated with our operations began to be incurred directly by us. Accordingly, beginning August 6, 2014, such expenses, rather than being reflected in this item, are recorded in the line items to which they relate, which are primarily “salaries and salary related expenses,” “outsourced services” and “other operating expenses.”
	As of March 31, 2015, we had a net payable to related parties of $64 thousand due to entities controlled by Mr. Mariano, our founder, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.

	For the three months ended March 31, 2015, approximately 83% of total combined fee income and fee income from related party was attributable to contracts with Guarantee Insurance, the Company’s largest customer and a related party, and approximately 10% was attributable to contracts with the Company’s second largest customer. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, approximately 56% of total combined fee income and fee income from related revenues was attributable to contracts with Guarantee Insurance, and approximately 31% and 7% were attributable to contracts with the Company’s second and third largest customers, respectively.
	As of March 31, 2015, approximately 84% of combined fee income receivable and fee income receivable from related party was attributable to contracts with Guarantee Insurance, the Company’s largest customer and a related party, and approximately 5% and 3% of combined fee income receivable and fee income receivable from related party were attributable to contracts with the Company’s second and third largest customers, respectively. As of December 31, 2014, approximately 86% of combined fee income receivable and fee income receivable from related party was attributable to contracts with Guarantee Insurance, the Company’s largest customer and a related party, and approximately 8% and 2% of combined fee income receivable and fee income receivable from related party were attributable to contracts with the Company’s second and third largest customers, respectively.
	Because fee income from related party for claims administration services is based on the net portion of claims expense retained by Guarantee Insurance, the Company’s revenues attributable to contracts with Guarantee Insurance do not necessarily represent fee income from related party.

	There was no warrant redemption liability as of March 31, 2015.  Concurrent with our IPO and repayment of the PennantPark debt on January 22, 2015, the PennantPark Entities exercised 965,700 of their 1,110,555 detachable common stock warrants for common stock at an exercise price of $2.67 per share. The PennantPark Entities waived their put right on the remaining 144,855 detachable common stock warrants.  By eliminating the put right, the PennantPark Entities cannot require the Company to redeem the remaining detachable common stock warrants for cash, thereby eliminating the warrant redemption liability previously required. The remaining 144,855 detachable common stock warrants can be used to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.67 per share, and expire on November 27, 2023.
	On November 27, 2013, the Company issued 626,295 detachable common stock warrants to new lenders to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.67 per share. The warrants expire on November 27, 2023. Prior to the exercise and removal of the put right, at the fifth anniversary date of the warrants and any time after the eighth anniversary date of the warrants, the warrant holders could have required the Company to redeem the warrants for cash, in an amount equal to the estimated fair value of the warrants, as determined by an independent appraisal, less the total exercise price of the redeemed warrants. The value of the warrants was recorded as a discount on the loan and a warrant liability on November 27, 2013. The discount on the loan was amortized as interest expense over the term of the loan. The Company attributed a value to these warrants of approximately $7.3 million as of December 31, 2014.
	On August 6, 2014, in connection with the additional tranche described in Note 6, Notes Payable and Lines of Credit, the Company issued 484,260 detachable common stock warrants to the PennantPark Entities to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.67 per share.

	The Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate method of computing its interim tax provision. Certain items, including those deemed to be unusual, infrequent or that cannot be reliably estimated, are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rates. In these cases, the actual tax expense or benefit applicable to that item is treated discretely and is reported in the same period as the related item. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2015, the tax effects of warrants were treated as a discrete item.
	The effective tax rate is based on forecasted annual pre-tax income, permanent differences and statutory tax rates. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the effective income tax rate was 42%. The main drivers of the difference in the effective tax rate from the statutory rate are warrants, success based fees, and meals and entertainment.
	The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax, as well as income tax in multiple states with heavy concentration in Florida, California, and Pennsylvania. The net deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2015 were $6.6 million before valuation allowance. A valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets is required when it is considered more likely than not that all or part of the benefit related to such assets will not be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considered both positive and negative evidence in concluding that a full valuation allowance was necessary against its net deferred tax assets at March 31, 2015.
	At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts recorded for uncertain tax positions.
