In addition, the company said, effective immediately, it will no longer accept new applications or binders for voluntary private passenger automobile insurance.

For the nine months ended Sept.30, 2000, net earned premium revenues were approximately $3.0 million, $4.1 million, and $1.5 million for the voluntary statutory automobile, voluntary private passenger automobile, and voluntary commercial automobile lines, respectively, and represented approximately 12.6 percent, 17.5 percent, and 6.1 percent respectively, of the company’s total net earned premiums for that period. The amounts shown above for the voluntary private passenger automobile business primarily resulted from renewals.
