| Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
| Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Maiden Holdings, Ltd. ("Maiden Holdings") and its subsidiaries (the "Company" or "Maiden"). They have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. These interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative, if annualized, of those to be expected for the full year. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including these notes, should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited Consolidated Financial Statements, and related notes thereto, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Results of operations for prior year comparatives have been reclassified for 2018 to conform to the 2019 presentation due to our discontinued operations as discussed below. The effect of these reclassifications had no impact on previously reported shareholders' equity or net income. Strategic Review The Company's business has undergone significant changes within the last year. Maiden Holdings's Board of Directors initiated a review of strategic alternatives ("Strategic Review") in the first quarter of 2018 to evaluate ways to increase shareholder value as a result of continuing significant operating losses and lower returns on equity than planned. As part of the Strategic Review, a series of transactions were entered into which are described herein. In addition, as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2018, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Maiden Reinsurance Ltd. ("Maiden Bermuda") failed to meet their requirements to hold sufficient capital to cover their respective economic capital requirements (“ECR”). The Company had communicated such conditions to the Bermuda Monetary Authority ("BMA") and is following the guidelines of a reportable “event” as stipulated by Bermuda insurance law. The Company has taken the following actions to remediate the breach including: (1) completed the sale of Maiden Reinsurance North America, Inc. ("Maiden US") on December 27, 2018; (2) Maiden Bermuda's shareholders, Maiden Holdings and Maiden Holdings North America, Ltd. ("Maiden NA"), made capital injections of $125,000 on December 31, 2018 and $70,000 on January 18, 2019 to Maiden Bermuda from the sale proceeds of Maiden US; (3) entered into a partial termination amendment ("Partial Termination Amendment") with AmTrust Financial Services Inc. ("AmTrust") effective January 1, 2019 which amended the quota share reinsurance agreement (“AmTrust Quota Share”) between Maiden Bermuda and AmTrust’s wholly owned subsidiary AmTrust International Insurance, Ltd. (“AII”) (as more fully described in Note 8); and (4) entered into amendments which terminated the AmTrust Quota Share and the European hospital liability quota share reinsurance contract (“European Hospital Liability Quota Share”) with AmTrust’s wholly owned subsidiaries AmTrust Europe Limited ("AEL") and AmTrust International Underwriters DAC ("AIU DAC") effective January 1, 2019. As a result of these actions and pending finalization and regulatory approval of the loss portfolio transfer and adverse development cover entered into by Maiden Bermuda and Enstar Group Limited ("Enstar") ("New LPT/ADC MTA") on March 1, 2019, it is anticipated that the Company and Maiden Bermuda will have sufficient capital in excess of the respective ECR requirements and that this position should improve throughout 2019. Discontinued Operations As part of the strategic review initiated by the Company's Board of Directors during 2018, the Company made the strategic decision to divest its U.S. reinsurance treaty operations which was completed on December 27, 2018. Except as explicitly described as held for sale or as discontinued operations, and unless otherwise noted, all discussions and amounts presented herein relate to the Company's continuing operations except for net loss, net loss attributable to Maiden and net loss attributable to Maiden common shareholders. Sale of U.S. Treaty Reinsurance Operations The sale of the U.S. treaty reinsurance business occurred in two parts as described below: (a) On August 29, 2018, the Company announced that it had entered into a Renewal Rights Agreement ("Renewal Rights"), dated as of August 29, 2018, with Transatlantic Reinsurance Company ("TransRe"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell, and TransRe agreed to purchase, Maiden US's rights to: (i) renew Maiden US’s treaty reinsurance agreements upon their expiration or cancellation, (ii) solicit renewals of and replacement coverages for the treaty reinsurance agreements and (iii) replicate and use the products and contract forms used in Maiden US’s business. The sale was consummated on August 29, 2018. The payment received for the sale of the Renewal Rights was $7,500 subject to potential additional amounts payable in the future in accordance with the agreement. No additional amounts to the fee have been recognized to date, including the first quarter of 2019. 1. Basis of Presentation (continued) (b) On December 27, 2018, the Company announced that its subsidiary, Maiden NA, completed its sale agreement ("U.S. Sale Agreement") dated as of August 31, 2018, with Enstar Holdings (US) LLC ("Enstar Holdings"), pursuant to which Maiden NA sold Maiden US to Enstar Holdings. Pursuant to and subject to the terms of the U.S. Sale Agreement: (i)Maiden NA sold, and Enstar Holdings purchased, all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Maiden US (“Maiden US Sale”) for gross consideration of $286,375, which included estimated closing adjustments but subject to post-closing adjustments which are still being reviewed by the parties subject to the terms of the U.S. Sale Agreement; (ii)Cavello Bay Reinsurance Limited ("Cavello"), Enstar’s Bermuda reinsurance affiliate, and Maiden Bermuda entered into an agreement pursuant to which certain quota share reinsurance contracts between Maiden US and Maiden Bermuda were novated to Cavello for a ceding commission paid by Maiden Bermuda of $12,250; (iii)Cavello and Maiden Bermuda also entered into a retrocession agreement pursuant to which certain assets and liabilities associated with the U.S. treaty reinsurance business held by Maiden Bermuda were retroceded to Cavello in exchange for a $1,750 ceding commission; and (iv)Maiden Bermuda provided Enstar with a reinsurance cover for loss reserve development, up to a maximum of $25,000, when losses are more than $100,000 in excess of the net loss and loss adjustment expenses recorded as of June 30, 2018, for no additional consideration. The Company has determined that the sale of the U.S. treaty reinsurance operations represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on its ongoing operations and financial results and that all of the held for sale criteria have been met. Accordingly, all transactions related to the U.S. treaty reinsurance operations are reported and presented as part of discontinued operations. Please refer to "Note 6. Discontinued Operations" for additional information regarding the effect of the reclassifications on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Reinsurance Agreements with Enstar On March 1, 2019, the Company and Enstar terminated the Master Transaction Agreement between the parties dated as of November 9, 2018 (the “Old LPT MTA”) and simultaneously signed the New LPT/ADC MTA pursuant to which an Enstar subsidiary will assume liabilities for loss reserves as of December 31, 2018 associated with the quota share reinsurance agreements between Maiden Bermuda and AmTrust in excess of a $2,441,359 retention up to $675,000. The $2,441,359 retention will be subject to adjustment for paid losses subsequent to December 31, 2018. The New LPT/ADC MTA and associated reinsurance agreement, which is pending, will provide Maiden Bermuda with $175,000 in adverse development cover over its carried AmTrust reserves at December 31, 2018. The New LPT/ADC MTA will be accounted for as retroactive reinsurance. Cumulative ceded losses exceeding $500,000 would result in a deferred gain which would be recognized over the settlement period in proportion to cumulative losses collected over the estimated ultimate reinsurance recoverable. Consequently, cumulative adverse development subsequent to December 31, 2018, in excess of $500,000, may result in significant losses from operations until periods when the deferred gain is recognized as a benefit to earnings. The transaction, when finalized, is subject to regulatory approvals and other closing conditions. Segments As a result of the strategic decision to divest all of the Company's U.S. treaty reinsurance operations noted above, the Company has revised the composition of its reportable segments. As described in more detail under “Note 3. Segment Information”, the reportable segments include: (i) Diversified Reinsurance which consists of a portfolio of property and casualty reinsurance business focusing on regional and specialty property and casualty insurance companies located primarily in Europe; and (ii) AmTrust Reinsurance which includes all business ceded to Maiden Bermuda from subsidiaries of AmTrust. In addition to these reportable segments, the results of operations of the former National General Holdings Corporation Quota Share ("NGHC Quota Share") segment is included in the "Other" category. The prior period presented herein has been reclassified to conform to this new presentation.

| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| Significant Accounting Policies | Significant Accounting Policies There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 except for the following: Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Updates Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2018-07 guidance that simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to non-employees for goods and services. Under the guidance, most of the guidance on such payments to non-employees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees as the board viewed the awards to both employees and non-employees to be economically similar and that two different accounting models are not justified. The Company currently measures directors’ share-based payment awards at fair value as at their grant date; therefore the adoption of this standard on January 1, 2019 did not have any impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Codification Improvements In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-09 which includes clarifications to existing codifications or corrections of unintended application of guidance that is not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities. The amendments in this update include items raised for board consideration through the codification's feedback system that met the scope of this project, making due process necessary. The amendments affect a wide variety of topics in the codification. The amendments apply to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance. None of the topics deemed applicable upon adoption of this standard on January 1, 2019 have a material impact in the Company's interim consolidated financial statements. Topic 842, Leases In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11 for targeted improvements related to ASU 2016-02 which provides entities with an additional transition method to apply the new standard. Under the new optional transition method, an entity initially applies Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 842 at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Topic 842 became effective for the Company during the first quarter of 2019 and was applied using a modified retrospective approach by electing the additional transition method permitted by ASU 2018-11. Under the additional transition method, the Company's reporting for the comparative periods presented in its financial statements will be in accordance with the pre-effective date lease accounting requirements under Topic 840. The Company adopted Topic 842 effective on January 1, 2019, by electing as a package the practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance of Topic 842, and applied consistently to all leases that had commenced before the effective date of adoption. The package of practical expedients allowed the Company not to reassess the following: whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and initial direct costs for any existing leases. In addition to electing the package of practical expedients, the Company made an accounting policy election to account for non-lease components separately from lease components. Furthermore, the Company made an accounting policy election not to record leases with an initial term of twelve months or less in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company did not enter into any new lease arrangements during the three months ended March 31, 2019. The Company's future lease obligations of approximately $2,998 was calculated based on the present value of future annual rental commitments excluding taxes, insurance and other operating costs for non-cancellable operating leases discounted using the Company's secured incremental borrowing rate. This amount has been recognized on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a lease liability of $2,998 within accrued expenses and other liabilities with an equivalent amount for the right-of-use asset presented as part of other assets. However, under this guidance, the Company has continued to recognize the related leasing expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized total lease expenses of $421 in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The operating cash outflows from operating leases included in the measurement of the lease liability during the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $341. Therefore, the adoption of this standard on January 1, 2019 has impacted the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets but did not have any impact on its results of operations or cash flows. Please refer to "Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies b) Operating Lease Commitments" for further disclosures regarding the impact of the adoption of Topic 842 in the first quarter of 2019. Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08 to amend the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. Current GAAP excludes certain callable debt securities from consideration of early repayment of principal even if the holder is certain that the call will be exercised. As a result, upon the exercise of a call on a callable debt security held at a premium, the unamortized premium is recorded as a loss in earnings.The amendments in ASU 2017-08 affect all entities that hold investments in callable debt securities that have an amortized cost basis in excess of the amount that is repayable by the issuer at the earliest call date. The amendments shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium and require the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. For public business entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. An entity should apply the amendments on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) beginning of the period of adoption. Additionally, in the period of adoption, an entity should provide disclosures about a change in accounting principle. The Company holds a number of fixed maturities with callable features on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and this includes certain securities that have been purchased at a premium that are being amortized to their contractual maturity dates. The Company has always handled the amortization of any premiums by amortizing to the earliest effective maturity; therefore the adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2019 did not have any impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted Accounting for Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04 for targeted improvements related to ASU 2016-13 "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" which replaces the "incurred loss" impairment methodology with an approach based on "expected losses" to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The guidance requires financial assets measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost of the financial asset to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The Update also modified the accounting for available-for-sale ("AFS") debt securities, which must be individually assessed for credit losses when fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, in accordance with Subtopic 326-30, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses—Available-for-Sale Debt Securities. Credit losses relating to AFS debt securities will be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. The codification improvements in ASU 2019-04 clarify that an entity should include recoveries when estimating the allowance for credit losses. The amendments specify that expected recoveries of amounts previously written off and expected to be written off should be included in the valuation account and should not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously written off and expected to be written off by the entity. In addition, for collateral dependent financial assets, the amendments clarify that an allowance for credit losses that is added to the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) should not exceed amounts previously written off. The amendment also clarifies FASB’s intent to include all reinsurance recoverables that are within the scope of Topic 944 to be within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, regardless of the measurement basis of those recoverables.The guidance is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods therein. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

| Segment Information | Segment Information The Company currently has two reportable segments: Diversified Reinsurance and AmTrust Reinsurance. Our Diversified Reinsurance segment consists of a portfolio of predominantly property and casualty reinsurance business focusing on regional and specialty property and casualty insurance companies located primarily in Europe. Our AmTrust Reinsurance segment includes all business ceded to our wholly owned subsidiary, Maiden Bermuda, from AmTrust, primarily the AmTrust Quota Share and the European Hospital Liability Quota Share. In addition to our reportable segments, the results of operations of the former NGHC Quota Share segment have been included in the "Other" category. Please refer to "Note 8. Related Party Transactions" for additional information. As a result of the strategic decision to divest all of the Company's U.S. treaty reinsurance operations as discussed in "Note 1. Basis of Presentation" and "Note 6. Discontinued Operations", the Company revised the composition of its reportable segments. Previously, the underwriting results associated with the discontinued operations of the Company's U.S. treaty reinsurance business were included within the Diversified Reinsurance segment and the operating results associated with the remnants of the U.S. excess and surplus business were included within the Other category. These are now excluded and all prior periods presented have been reclassified to conform to this new presentation. The Company evaluates segment performance based on segment profit separately from the results of our investment portfolio. General and administrative expenses are allocated to the segments on an actual basis except salaries and benefits where management’s judgment is applied. The Company does not allocate general corporate expenses to the segments. In determining total assets by reportable segment, the Company identifies those assets that are attributable to a particular segment such as reinsurance balances receivable, deferred commission and other acquisition expenses, funds withheld receivable, loans and restricted cash and cash equivalents and investments. All remaining assets are allocated to Corporate. As discussed in "Note 1. Basis of Presentation" and in "Note 8. Related Party Transactions", the Partial Termination Amendment and the termination of the remaining quota share contracts with AmTrust resulted to a significant reduction in gross premiums written due to the return of unearned premium on certain lines covered by the Partial Termination Agreement with no new business written in 2019 due to the termination of the quota share contracts. The following tables summarize our reporting segment's underwriting results and the reconciliation of our reportable segments and Other category's underwriting results to our consolidated net (loss) income from continuing operations:

The original or amortized cost, estimated fair value and gross unrealized gains and losses of fixed maturities at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are as follows:
The Company has historically classified its fixed maturity investments as either AFS or held-to-maturity ("HTM"). The AFS portfolio is reported at fair value. The HTM portfolio at December 31, 2018 included securities for which we had the ability and intent to hold to maturity or redemption and was reported at amortized cost. When a security transferred from AFS to HTM, the fair value at the time of transfer, adjusted for subsequent amortization, becomes the security's amortized cost. When a security transferred from HTM to AFS, the security’s amortized cost basis carries over to the AFS category for the subsequent amortization of the historical premium or discount, comparisons of fair value and amortized cost for the purpose of determining unrealized holding gains and losses and required disclosures of amortized cost. The difference between the security’s amortized cost and fair value at the date of transfer into the AFS portfolio will be recognized as an unrealized gain or loss and recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI"). Due to the termination of both AmTrust Reinsurance quota share contracts effective January 1, 2019, the Company no longer believes that it has the positive ability to hold the securities in the HTM portfolio to maturity since this portfolio serves as part of the collateral for the AmTrust Reinsurance segment loss reserves. Therefore, the Company has reclassified and transferred all HTM securities to the AFS portfolio at their fair market value as at March 31, 2019. The carrying value of the HTM securities at the time of transfer was $1,011,878 and the related unrealized gains of $14,230 have been reported in the fair value of the AFS securities as well as reported as a component of AOCI as at March 31, 2019. 4. Investments (continued) The contractual maturities of our fixed maturities are shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.
The following tables summarize fixed maturities in an unrealized loss position and the aggregate fair value and gross unrealized loss by length of time the security has continuously been in an unrealized loss position:
At March 31, 2019, there were approximately 207 securities in an unrealized loss position with a fair value of $1,433,131 and unrealized losses of $35,983. Of these securities, there were 136 securities that have been in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or greater with a fair value of $1,204,773 and unrealized losses of $28,531.
4. Investments (continued) At December 31, 2018, there were approximately 348 securities in an unrealized loss position with a fair value of $2,783,643 and unrealized losses of $90,948. Of these securities, there were 103 securities that have been in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or greater with a fair value of $1,188,564 and unrealized losses of $52,253. Other-than-temporarily impaired ("OTTI") The Company performs quarterly reviews of its fixed maturities in order to determine whether declines in fair value below the amortized cost basis were considered other-than-temporary in accordance with applicable guidance. At March 31, 2019, we have determined that the unrealized losses on fixed maturities were primarily due to interest rates rising as well as the impact of foreign exchange rate changes on certain foreign currency denominated AFS fixed maturities since their date of purchase. All fixed maturity securities in the investment portfolio continue to pay the expected coupon payments under the contractual terms of the securities. Any credit-related impairment related to fixed maturity securities that the Company does not plan to sell and for which the Company is not more likely than not to be required to sell is recognized in net earnings, with the non-credit related impairment recognized in comprehensive earnings. Based on our analysis, our fixed maturity portfolio is of high credit quality and we believe we will recover the amortized cost basis of our fixed maturity securities. We continually monitor the credit quality of our fixed maturity investments to assess if it is probable that we will receive our contractual or estimated cash flows in the form of principal and interest. Therefore, there were no OTTI losses recognized in earnings on the fixed maturity portfolio in the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, respectively. The following summarizes the credit ratings of our fixed maturities:
The table below shows our portfolio of other investments:
4. Investments (continued) The Company has a remaining unfunded commitment on its investment in limited partnerships of approximately $414 at March 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018 - $414). The Company also has a remaining unfunded commitment on its investment in special purpose vehicles focused on lending activities of approximately $7,551 at March 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018 - $7,359).
Net investment income was derived from the following sources:
Realized gains or losses on the sale of investments are determined on the basis of the first in first out cost method. The following provides an analysis of net realized (losses) gains on investment included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income:
Proceeds from sales of AFS fixed maturities were $84,361 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, respectively (2018 - $80,240). Net unrealized gains (losses) on investments, including those allocated to discontinued operations and classified as held for sale, were as follows:
The portion of unrealized (losses) gains recognized in net (loss) income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 that are related to other investments still held at the end of the reporting period were as follows:
4. Investments (continued)
We are required to maintain assets on deposit to support our reinsurance operations and to serve as collateral for our reinsurance liabilities under various reinsurance agreements. We also utilize trust accounts to collateralize business with our reinsurance counterparties. These trust accounts generally take the place of letter of credit requirements. The assets in trust as collateral are primarily cash and highly rated fixed maturities. The fair value of our restricted assets was as follows:

| Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments (a) Fair Values of Financial Instruments Fair Value Measurements — ASC Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" ("ASC 820") defines fair value as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between open market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:
The availability of observable inputs can vary and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of financial instrument, whether the financial instrument is new and not yet established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires significantly more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by management in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. We use prices and inputs that are current at the measurement date. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition could cause an instrument to be reclassified between levels. For investments that have quoted market prices in active markets, the Company uses the quoted market prices as fair value and includes these in the Level 1 hierarchy. The Company receives the quoted market prices from a third party nationally recognized provider ("the Pricing Service"). When quoted market prices are unavailable, the Company utilizes the Pricing Service to determine an estimate of fair value. The fair value estimates are included in the Level 2 hierarchy. The Company will challenge any prices for its investments which are considered not to be representative of fair value. If quoted market prices and an estimate from the Pricing Service are unavailable, the Company produces an estimate of fair value based on dealer quotations for recent activity in positions with the same or similar characteristics to that being valued. The Company determines whether the fair value estimate is in the Level 2 or Level 3 hierarchy depending on the level of observable inputs available when estimating the fair value. The Company bases its estimates of fair values for assets on the bid price as it represents what a third party market participant would be willing to pay in an orderly transaction. 5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued) ASC 825, "Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments", requires all entities to disclose the fair value of their financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to determine the fair value of financial instruments held at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. U.S. government and U.S. agency — Bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury, the Federal Home Loan Bank, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, Government National Mortgage Association, Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Farm Credit Banks Funding Corporation. The fair values of U.S. treasury bonds are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and are included in the Level 1 fair value hierarchy. We believe the market for U.S. treasury bonds is an actively traded market given the high level of daily trading volume. The fair values of U.S. agency bonds are determined using the spread above the risk-free yield curve. As the yields for the risk-free yield curve and the spreads for these securities are observable market inputs, the fair values of U.S. agency bonds are included in the Level 2 fair value hierarchy. Non-U.S. government and supranational bonds — These securities are generally priced by independent pricing services. The Pricing Service may use current market trades for securities with similar quality, maturity and coupon. If no such trades are available, the Pricing Service typically uses analytical models which may incorporate spreads, interest rate data and market/sector news. As the significant inputs used to price non-U.S. government and supranational bonds are observable market inputs, the fair values of non-U.S. government and supranational bonds are included in the Level 2 fair value hierarchy. Asset-backed securities — These securities comprise CMBS and CLO originated by a variety of financial institutions that on acquisition are rated BBB-/Baa3 or higher. These securities are priced by independent pricing services and brokers. The pricing provider applies dealer quotes and other available trade information, prepayment speeds, yield curves and credit spreads to the valuation. As the significant inputs used to price the CMBS and CLO are observable market inputs, the fair value of the CMBS and CLO securities are included in the Level 2 fair value hierarchy. Corporate bonds — Bonds issued by corporations that on acquisition are rated BBB-/Baa3 or higher. These securities are generally priced by independent pricing services. The spreads are sourced from broker/dealers, trade prices and the new issue market. Where pricing is unavailable from pricing services, we obtain non-binding quotes from broker-dealers. As the significant inputs used to price corporate bonds are observable market inputs, the fair values of corporate bonds are included in the Level 2 fair value hierarchy. Municipal bonds — Bonds issued by U.S. state and municipality entities or agencies. The fair values of municipal bonds are generally priced by independent pricing services. The pricing services typically use spreads obtained from broker-dealers, trade prices and the new issue market. As the significant inputs used to price the municipal bonds are observable market inputs, municipal bonds are included in the Level 2 fair value hierarchy. Other investments — Includes unquoted investments comprised of investments in limited partnerships and other investments which includes investments in special purpose vehicles focused on lending activities as well as investments in start-up insurance entities. The fair values of the limited partnerships are determined by the fund manager based on recent filings, operating results, balance sheet stability, growth and other business and market sector fundamentals. The fair value of these investments are measured using the NAV practical expedient and therefore have not been categorized within the fair value hierarchy. If there is a reporting lag between the current period end and reporting date of the latest available fund valuation, we estimate fair values by starting with the most recently available valuation and adjusting for return estimates as well as any subscriptions and distributions that took place during the current period. The fair value of the investments in special purpose vehicles focused on lending activities is initially at cost which approximates fair value. In some cases this initial period could be more than a year depending on the nature of the investment. Currently, all of our investments in special purpose vehicles focused on lending activities are held at cost which approximates fair value. In subsequent measurement periods, the fair values of these investments may be determined using an internally developed discounted cash flow model. As the significant inputs used to price these securities are unobservable, the fair value of these investments are classified as Level 3. The fair value of the remaining other investments, primarily start-up insurance entities, was determined using recent private market transactions and as such, the fair value is included in the Level 3 fair value hierarchy. Cash and cash equivalents (including restricted amounts), accrued investment income, reinsurance balances receivable, and certain other assets and liabilities — The carrying values reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for these financial instruments approximate their fair value due to their short term nature and are classified as Level 2. Loan to related party — The carrying value reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for this financial instrument approximates its fair value and it is included in the Level 2 hierarchy. Senior notes — The amount reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for these financial instruments represents the carrying value of the notes. The fair values are based on indicative market pricing obtained from a third-party service provider and as such, are included in the Level 2 hierarchy. 5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued) (b) Fair Value Hierarchy The Company’s estimates of fair value for financial assets and financial liabilities are based on the framework established in ASC 820. The framework is based on the inputs used in valuation and gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and requires that observable inputs be used in the valuations when available. The disclosure of fair value estimates in the ASC 820 hierarchy is based on whether the significant inputs into the valuation are observable. In determining the level of the hierarchy in which the estimate is disclosed, the highest priority is given to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s significant market assumptions. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we classified our financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the following valuation hierarchy:
The Company utilizes the Pricing Service to assist in determining the fair value of our investments; however, management is ultimately responsible for all fair values presented in the Company’s financial statements. This includes responsibility for monitoring the fair value process, ensuring objective and reliable valuation practices and pricing of assets and liabilities and pricing sources. The Company analyzes and reviews the information and prices received from the Pricing Service to ensure that the prices represent a reasonable estimate of the fair value. The Pricing Service was utilized to estimate fair value measurements for approximately 99.8% and 99.9% of our fixed maturities at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The Pricing Service utilizes market quotations for fixed maturity securities that have quoted market prices in active markets. Since fixed maturities other than U.S. treasury bonds generally do not trade actively on a daily basis, the Pricing Service prepares estimates of fair value measurements using relevant market data, benchmark curves, sector groupings and matrix pricing and these have been classified as Level 2. 5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued) At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, approximately 0.2% and 0.1%, respectively, of the Level 2 fixed maturities are valued using the market approach. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, one security or $5,484 and $5,676, respectively, of Level 2 fixed maturities, was priced using a quotation from a broker and/or custodian as opposed to the Pricing Service due to lack of information available. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we have not adjusted any pricing provided to us based on the review performed by our investment managers. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 and there were no transfers to or from Level 3 during the periods represented by these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. (c) Level 3 Financial Instruments At March 31, 2019, the Company has other investments of $21,412 (December 31, 2018 - $19,883) which includes investments in special purpose vehicles focused on lending activities as well as investments in start-up insurance entities. The fair value of the investments in special purpose vehicles focused on lending activities is initially at cost which approximates fair value. In subsequent measurement periods, the fair values of these investments are determined using an internally developed discounted cash flow model. The fair value of investments in start-up insurance entities was determined using recent private market transactions. Due to the significant unobservable inputs in these valuations, the Company includes the estimate of the fair value of each of these other investments as Level 3. (d) Financial Instruments not measured at Fair Value The following table presents the fair value and carrying value or principal amount of the financial instruments not measured at fair value:

| Discontinued Operations | Discontinued Operations Sale of U.S. Treaty Reinsurance operations As described in "Note 1. Basis of Presentation", the Company entered into a Renewal Rights transaction with TransRe on August 29, 2018. The Company continued to earn premiums and remain liable for losses occurring subsequent to August 29, 2018 for any policies in force prior to and as of August 29, 2018, through December 27, 2018, the date the sale of Maiden US was closed pursuant to the U.S. Sale Agreement with Enstar. Maiden US was a substantial portion of our Diversified Reinsurance segment, therefore, the Company concluded that the sale represented a strategic shift that has a major effect on its ongoing operations and financial results and that all of the held for sale criteria have been met. Accordingly, all transactions related to the U.S. treaty reinsurance operations are reported and presented as part of discontinued operations. Accordingly, all of the assets and liabilities related to the sale of the U.S. treaty reinsurance operations are removed from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets of the Company and any remaining assets and liabilities related to the retrocession agreement and true up of sale consideration, are classified as held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The operations of the Company's U.S. treaty reinsurance business for the three months ended March 31, 2018 have been reclassified as part of income from discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company estimated the fair value of the net assets held for sale to be based on the estimated selling price less costs to sell and was classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2019.

| Long-term Debt | Long-Term Debt Senior Notes At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, both Maiden Holdings and its wholly owned subsidiary, Maiden NA, have outstanding publicly-traded debt offering of senior notes which were issued in 2016 and 2013, respectively (the "Senior Notes"). The 2013 Senior Notes issued by Maiden NA are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Maiden Holdings. The Senior Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Company. The following table details the Company's Senior Notes issuances outstanding at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018:
The interest expense incurred on the Senior Notes for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $4,776 (2018 - $4,777) of which $1,342 was accrued at both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The issuance costs related to the Senior Notes were capitalized and are being amortized over the effective life of the Senior Notes. The amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $53 (2018 - $52). Under the terms of the 2013 Senior Notes, the 2013 Senior Notes can be redeemed, in whole or in part after December 1, 2018 at Maiden NA's option at any time and from time to time, until maturity at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed plus accrued but unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but not including, the redemption date. Maiden NA is required to give at least thirty and not more than sixty days notice prior to the redemption date. However, as part of the Company's remediation measures to improve its capital ratios and adequacy, Maiden has voluntarily undertaken with the BMA to not voluntarily redeem the 2013 Senior Notes without its prior written approval.

| Related Party Transactions | Related Party Transactions The Founding Shareholders of the Company are Michael Karfunkel, George Karfunkel and Barry Zyskind. Michael Karfunkel passed away on April 27, 2016. Based on each individual's most recent public filing, Leah Karfunkel (wife of Michael Karfunkel) owns or controls approximately 8.0% of the outstanding shares of the Company and Barry Zyskind (the Company's non-executive chairman) owns or controls approximately 7.5% of the outstanding shares of the Company. George Karfunkel owns or controls less than 5.0% of the outstanding shares of the Company. Leah Karfunkel and George Karfunkel are directors of AmTrust, and Barry Zyskind is the president, chief executive officer and chairman of AmTrust. Leah Karfunkel, George Karfunkel and Barry Zyskind own or control approximately 53.9% of the ownership interests of Evergreen Parent GP, LLC, the ultimate parent of AmTrust. AmTrust owns 1.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of National General Holdings Corporation ("NGHC"), and Leah Karfunkel, individually, through a grantor retained annuity trust and through the Michael Karfunkel 2005 Family Trust (which is controlled by Leah Karfunkel) owns 39.4% of the outstanding common shares of NGHC. Barry Zyskind is a director of NGHC. AmTrust The following describes transactions between the Company and AmTrust: AmTrust Quota Share Effective July 1, 2007, the Company and AmTrust entered into a master agreement, as amended (the "Master Agreement"), by which they caused Maiden Bermuda, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and AmTrust's Bermuda reinsurance subsidiary, AmTrust International Insurance, Ltd. ("AII"), to enter into the AmTrust Quota Share by which AII retrocedes to Maiden Bermuda an amount equal to 40% of the premium written by subsidiaries of AmTrust, net of the cost of unaffiliated inuring reinsurance and 40% of losses. The Master Agreement further provided that AII receives a ceding commission of 31% of ceded written premiums. On June 11, 2008, Maiden Bermuda and AII amended the AmTrust Quota Share to add Retail Commercial Package Business to the Covered Business. AII receives a ceding commission of 34.375% on Retail Commercial Package Business. On July 1, 2016, the agreement was renewed through June 30, 2019. Effective July 1, 2018, the amount AmTrust Europe Limited ("AEL") cedes to the Company was reduced to 20%. Additionally, for the Specialty Program portion of Covered Business only, AII will be responsible for ultimate net loss otherwise recoverable from Maiden Bermuda to the extent that the loss ratio to Maiden Bermuda, which shall be determined on an inception to date basis from July 1, 2007 through the date of calculation, is between 81.5% and 95% ("Loss Corridor"). Above and below the Loss Corridor, Maiden Bermuda will continue to reinsure losses at its proportional 40% share of the AmTrust Quota Share. Effective January 1, 2019, Maiden Bermuda and AmTrust entered into the Partial Termination Amendment which amended the AmTrust Quota Share that was in-force and set to expire on June 30, 2019. The Partial Termination Amendment provided for the cut-off of the ongoing and unearned premium of AmTrust’s Small Commercial Business, comprising workers’ compensation, general liability, umbrella liability, professional liability (including cyber liability) insurance coverages, and U.S. Specialty Risk and Extended Warranty ("Terminated Business") as of December 31, 2018. Under the Partial Termination Amendment, the ceding commission payable by Maiden Bermuda for its remaining in-force business immediately prior to January 1, 2019 increased by five percentage points with respect to in-force remaining business (excluding Terminated Business) and related unearned premium as of January 1, 2019. Subsequently, on January 30, 2019, Maiden Bermuda and AII agreed to terminate the AmTrust Quota Share on a run-off basis effective as of January 1, 2019. The Partial Termination Amendment resulted in Maiden Bermuda returning approximately $643,144 in unearned premium to AII, or approximately $433,483 net of applicable ceding commission and brokerage, subject to final adjustment. In January 2019, as part of this amendment, the Company transferred cash and investments of $480,000 to AII based on provisional estimates. On or before May 30, 2019, AII shall report to Maiden the actual unearned premium applicable to the Terminated Business as of December 31, 2018. In the event that the estimated unearned premium exceeds the actual unearned premium, AII shall return the excess to Maiden Bermuda. The estimated amount to be returned to Maiden Bermuda is approximately $46,517 as of March 31, 2019. European Hospital Liability Quota Share Effective April 1, 2011, Maiden Bermuda, entered into a quota share reinsurance contract with AEL and AmTrust International Underwriters DAC ("AIU DAC"), both wholly owned subsidiaries of AmTrust. Pursuant to the terms of the contract, Maiden Bermuda assumed 40% of the premiums and losses related to policies classified as European Hospital Liability, including associated liability coverages and policies covering physician defense costs, written or renewed on or after April 1, 2011. The contract also covers policies written or renewed on or before March 31, 2011, but only with respect to losses that occur, accrue or arise on or after April 1, 2011. The maximum limit of liability attaching shall be €5,000 (€10,000 effective January 1, 2012) or currency equivalent (on a 100% basis) per original claim for any one original policy. Maiden Bermuda will pay a ceding commission of 5%. Effective July 1, 2016, the contract was amended such that Maiden Bermuda assumes from AEL 32.5% of the premiums and losses of all policies written or renewed on or after July 1, 2016 until June 30, 2017 and 20% of all policies written or renewed on or after July 1, 2017. Subsequently, on January 30, 2019, Maiden Bermuda, AEL and AIU DAC agreed to terminate the European Hospital Liability Quota Share on a run-off basis effective as of January 1, 2019. On January 30, 2019, in connection with the termination of the reinsurance agreements described above, the Company and AmTrust entered into a second amendment to the Master Agreement between the parties, originally entered into on July 3, 2007, to remove the provisions requiring AmTrust to reinsure business with the Company. 8. Related Party Transactions (continued) The table below shows the effect of both of these quota share arrangements with AmTrust on the Company's results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018:
Collateral provided to AmTrust a) AmTrust Quota Share Reinsurance Agreement In order to provide AmTrust's U.S. insurance subsidiaries with credit for reinsurance on their statutory financial statements, AII, as the direct reinsurer of the AmTrust's insurance subsidiaries, has established trust accounts ("Trust Accounts") for their benefit. Maiden Bermuda has agreed to provide appropriate collateral to secure its proportional share under the AmTrust Quota Share of AII's obligations to the AmTrust subsidiaries to whom AII is required to provide collateral. This collateral may be in the form of (a) assets loaned by Maiden Bermuda to AII for deposit into the Trust Accounts, pursuant to a loan agreement between those parties, (b) assets transferred by Maiden Bermuda for deposit into the Trust Accounts, (c) a letter of credit obtained by Maiden Bermuda and delivered to an AmTrust subsidiary on AII's behalf, or (d) premiums withheld by an AmTrust subsidiary at Maiden Bermuda's request in lieu of remitting such premiums to AII. Maiden Bermuda may provide any or a combination of these forms of collateral, provided that the aggregate value thereof equals Maiden Bermuda's proportionate share of its obligations under the AmTrust Quota Share with AII. Maiden Bermuda satisfied its collateral requirements under the AmTrust Quota Share with AII as follows:
b) European Hospital Liability Quota Share AEL requested that Maiden Bermuda provide collateral to secure its proportional share under the European Hospital Liability Quota Share agreement. The amount of the collateral in reinsurance trust accounts at March 31, 2019 was approximately $253,937 (December 31, 2018 - $249,948) and the accrued interest was $1,849 (December 31, 2018 - $1,976). Please refer to "Note 4. (e) Investments" for additional information. In January 2019, AIU DAC requested that Maiden Bermuda provide collateral to secure its proportional share under the European Hospital Liability Quota Share agreement. Accordingly, Maiden Bermuda transferred cash of €45,113 ($51,244) to AIU DAC as a funds withheld receivable. AIU DAC will pay Maiden a fixed annual interest rate of 0.50%, on the average daily Funds Withheld balance, commencing on January 24, 2019, subject to annual adjustment. At March 31, 2019, the balance of funds withheld was €45,113 ($50,608) and the accrued interest was $53. 8. Related Party Transactions (continued) Brokerage Agreement Effective July 1, 2007, the Company entered into a reinsurance brokerage agreement with AII Reinsurance Broker Ltd. ("AIIB"), a wholly owned subsidiary of AmTrust. Pursuant to the brokerage agreement, AIIB provides brokerage services relating to the AmTrust Quota Share and the European Hospital Liability Quota Share for a fee equal to 1.25% of the premium assumed. AIIB is not the Company's exclusive broker. The agreement may be terminated upon 30 days written notice by either party. Maiden Bermuda recorded approximately $1,977 of reinsurance brokerage expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 (2018 - $6,297) and deferred reinsurance brokerage of $5,013 at March 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018 - $14,199) as a result of this agreement. The brokerage agreement was terminated as of March 15, 2019. Asset Management Agreement Effective July 1, 2007, the Company entered into an asset management agreement with AII Insurance Management Limited ("AIIM"), a wholly owned subsidiary of AmTrust, pursuant to which AIIM has agreed to provide investment management services to the Company. Effective January 1, 2018, AIIM provides investment management services for a quarterly fee of 0.02125% of the average value of the account. Prior to that date, the fee was payable at a rate of 0.0375%. The agreement may be terminated upon 30 days written notice by either party. The Company recorded approximately $775 of investment management fees for the three months ended March 31, 2019 (2018 - $1,049) as a result of this agreement. NGHC Quota Share Maiden Bermuda, effective March 1, 2010, had a 50% participation in the NGHC Quota Share, by which it received 25% of net premiums of the personal lines automobile business and assumed 25% of the related net losses.

| Reserve for Loss and Loss Adjustment Expenses | Reserve for Loss and Loss Adjustment Expenses The Company uses both historical experience and industry-wide loss development factors to provide a reasonable basis for estimating future losses. In the future, certain events may be beyond the control of management, such as changes in law, judicial interpretations of law, and inflation, which may favorably or unfavorably impact the ultimate settlement of the Company’s loss and LAE reserves. The anticipated effect of inflation is implicitly considered when estimating liabilities for loss and LAE. While anticipated changes in claim costs due to inflation are considered in estimating the ultimate claim costs, changes in average severity of claims are caused by a number of factors that vary with the individual type of policy written. Ultimate losses are projected based on historical trends adjusted for implemented changes in underwriting standards, policy provisions, and general economic trends. Those anticipated trends are monitored based on actual development and are modified if necessary. The reserving process begins with the collection and analysis of paid losses and incurred claims data for each of our contracts. While reserves are reviewed on a contract by contract basis, paid losses and incurred claims data is also aggregated into reserving segments. The segmental data is disaggregated by reserving class and further disaggregated by either accident year (i.e. the year in which the loss event occurred) or by underwriting year (i.e. the year in which the contract generating the premium and losses incepted). The Company in some cases uses underwriting year information to analyze our Diversified Reinsurance segment and subsequently allocate reserves to the respective accident years. Our reserve for loss and LAE comprises:
9. Reserve for Loss and Loss Adjustment Expenses (continued) The following table represents a reconciliation of our beginning and ending gross and net loss and LAE reserves:
Commencing in 2015, Maiden Bermuda entered into a number of retrocessional quota share agreements with a highly rated global insurer to cede certain lines of business from both of our reportable segments. Effective July 1, 2018, Maiden Bermuda commuted all of these retrocessional quota share agreements. Prior period development arises from changes to loss estimates recognized in the current year that relate to loss reserves in previous calendar years. The development reflects changes in management's best estimate of the ultimate losses under the relevant reinsurance policies after review of changes in actuarial assessments. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized net adverse prior year development of approximately $7,258 (2018 - $9,785). In the Diversified Reinsurance segment, the favorable prior year loss development was $1,096 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 (2018 - $1,266 adverse) primarily due to favorable prior year loss development in facultative reinsurance run-off lines. The adverse development in the first quarter of 2018 was largely due to higher than expected loss emergence emanating largely from run-off treaty contracts. In the AmTrust Reinsurance segment, the adverse prior year loss development was $8,126 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 (2018 - $8,519). The adverse development in the first quarter of 2019 was primarily due to Commercial Auto Liability in accident years 2014 to 2017 offset by favorable development in Workers Compensation, whereas 2018 was due to General Liability, with a smaller contribution from Commercial Auto liability primarily driven by accident years 2015 and 2016. The Other category also incurred adverse prior year loss development of $228 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 (2018 - $0) due to increased reserves in the run-off of the NGHC Quota Share Reinsurance Agreement.

| Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies
At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company’s assets where significant concentrations of credit risk may exist include investments, cash and cash equivalents, loan to related party, reinsurance balances receivable, funds withheld receivable and reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses (presented as part of other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets). The Company's reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses balance at March 31, 2019 was $1,817 (December 31, 2018 - $1,743) presented as part of other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. At March 31, 2019, 94.4% (December 31, 2018 - 96.2%) of the reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses was due from reinsurers and retrocessionaires with credit ratings from A.M Best of A+ or better. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had no valuation allowance against reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses. The Company manages concentration of credit risk in the investment portfolio through issuer and sector exposure limitations. The Company believes it bears minimal credit risk in its cash on deposit. The Company also monitors the credit risk related to the loan to related party and its reinsurance balances receivable. To mitigate credit risk, we generally have a contractual right of offset thereby allowing us to settle claims net of any premiums or loan receivable or funds withheld receivable. The Company believes these balances as at March 31, 2019 will be fully collectible. 10. Commitments and Contingencies (continued)
The Company leases office spaces, an executive apartment, office equipment and company vehicles under various operating leases expiring in various years through 2022. The Company did not enter into any new lease arrangements during the three months ended March 31, 2019. The Company's leases are all currently classified as operating leases and none of them have non-lease components. For operating leases that have a lease term of more than twelve months, the Company recognized a lease liability and a right-of-use asset in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at the present value of the remaining lease payments until expiration. As the lease contracts generally do not provide an implicit discount rate, the Company used the weighted-average discount rate of 10%, representing its secured incremental borrowing rate, in calculating the present value of the lease liability. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the sole discretion of the Company and none of our current lease renewal options are deemed to be reasonably certain to be exercised. The Company has made an accounting policy election not to include renewal, termination, or purchase options that are not reasonably certain of exercise when determining the term of the borrowing. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The Company's weighted-average remaining lease term is 3.2 years. Operating lease rentals are expensed on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease beginning on the commencement date. The Company's total lease expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $421 (2018 - $615) which was recognized within net income consistent with the accounting treatment in prior periods under Topic 840. The operating cash outflows from operating leases included in the measurement of the lease liability during the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $341. At March 31, 2019, the scheduled maturity of the Company's operating lease liabilities are expected to be as follows:
At December 31, 2018, the Company's future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases were expected to be as follows:
Except as noted below, the Company is not a party to any material legal proceedings. From time to time, the Company is subject to routine legal proceedings, including arbitrations, arising in the ordinary course of business. These legal proceedings generally relate to claims asserted by or against the Company in the ordinary course of insurance or reinsurance operations. Based on the Company's opinion, the eventual outcome of these legal proceedings is not expected to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. In April 2009, the Company learned that Bentzion S. Turin, the former Chief Operating Officer, General Counsel and Secretary of Maiden Holdings and Maiden Bermuda, sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Labor claiming that his employment with the Company was terminated in retaliation for corporate whistle-blowing in violation of the whistle-blower protection provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Mr. Turin alleged that he was terminated for raising concerns regarding corporate governance with respect to the negotiation of the terms of the Trust Preferred Securities Offering. He seeks reinstatement as Chief Operating Officer, General Counsel and Secretary of Maiden Holdings and Maiden Bermuda, back pay and legal fees incurred. On December 31, 2009, the U.S. Secretary of Labor found no reasonable cause for Mr. Turin’s claim and dismissed the complaint in its entirety. Mr. Turin objected to the Secretary's findings and requested a hearing before an administrative law judge in the U.S. Department of Labor. The Company moved to dismiss Mr. Turin's complaint, and its motion was granted by the Administrative Law Judge on June 30, 2011. On July 13, 2011, Mr. Turin filed a petition for review of the Administrative Law Judge's decision with the Administrative Review Board in the U.S. Department of Labor. On March 29, 2013, the Administrative Review Board reversed the dismissal of the complaint on procedural grounds, and remanded the case to the administrative law judge. The administrative hearing began in September 2014, and the hearings concluded in November 2018. The Company believes that it had good and sufficient reasons for terminating Mr. Turin's employment and that the claim is without merit. The Company will continue to vigorously defend itself against this claim. 10. Commitments and Contingencies (continued) A putative class action complaint was filed against Maiden Holdings, Arturo M. Raschbaum, Karen L. Schmitt, and John M. Marshaleck in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey on February 11, 2019, alleging that Defendants violated Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 (and Section 20(a) for control person liability) by making misrepresentations about the Company and its business, including the Company’s risk management and underwriting policies and practices. Plaintiffs further claim that these misrepresentations inflated the price of Maiden Holdings' common stock, and that when the truth about the misrepresentations was revealed, the Company’s stock price fell, causing Plaintiffs to incur losses. Maiden has not yet been served with the complaint, but believe the claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself. There exist and the Company expects additional lawsuits to be filed against the Company, its subsidiaries and its respective officers due to the diminution in value of our securities as a result of our operating results and financial condition. It is currently uncertain as to the effect of such litigation on our business, operating results and financial conditions.

Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) |
3 Months Ended |
|---|---|
Mar. 31, 2019 | |
| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Maiden Holdings, Ltd. ("Maiden Holdings") and its subsidiaries (the "Company" or "Maiden"). They have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. These interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative, if annualized, of those to be expected for the full year. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including these notes, should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited Consolidated Financial Statements, and related notes thereto, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Results of operations for prior year comparatives have been reclassified for 2018 to conform to the 2019 presentation due to our discontinued operations as discussed below. The effect of these reclassifications had no impact on previously reported shareholders' equity or net income. Strategic Review The Company's business has undergone significant changes within the last year. Maiden Holdings's Board of Directors initiated a review of strategic alternatives ("Strategic Review") in the first quarter of 2018 to evaluate ways to increase shareholder value as a result of continuing significant operating losses and lower returns on equity than planned. As part of the Strategic Review, a series of transactions were entered into which are described herein. In addition, as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2018, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Maiden Reinsurance Ltd. ("Maiden Bermuda") failed to meet their requirements to hold sufficient capital to cover their respective economic capital requirements (“ECR”). The Company had communicated such conditions to the Bermuda Monetary Authority ("BMA") and is following the guidelines of a reportable “event” as stipulated by Bermuda insurance law. The Company has taken the following actions to remediate the breach including: (1) completed the sale of Maiden Reinsurance North America, Inc. ("Maiden US") on December 27, 2018; (2) Maiden Bermuda's shareholders, Maiden Holdings and Maiden Holdings North America, Ltd. ("Maiden NA"), made capital injections of $125,000 on December 31, 2018 and $70,000 on January 18, 2019 to Maiden Bermuda from the sale proceeds of Maiden US; (3) entered into a partial termination amendment ("Partial Termination Amendment") with AmTrust Financial Services Inc. ("AmTrust") effective January 1, 2019 which amended the quota share reinsurance agreement (“AmTrust Quota Share”) between Maiden Bermuda and AmTrust’s wholly owned subsidiary AmTrust International Insurance, Ltd. (“AII”) (as more fully described in Note 8); and (4) entered into amendments which terminated the AmTrust Quota Share and the European hospital liability quota share reinsurance contract (“European Hospital Liability Quota Share”) with AmTrust’s wholly owned subsidiaries AmTrust Europe Limited ("AEL") and AmTrust International Underwriters DAC ("AIU DAC") effective January 1, 2019. As a result of these actions and pending finalization and regulatory approval of the loss portfolio transfer and adverse development cover entered into by Maiden Bermuda and Enstar Group Limited ("Enstar") ("New LPT/ADC MTA") on March 1, 2019, it is anticipated that the Company and Maiden Bermuda will have sufficient capital in excess of the respective ECR requirements and that this position should improve throughout 2019.

| Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Updates and Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted | Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Updates Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2018-07 guidance that simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to non-employees for goods and services. Under the guidance, most of the guidance on such payments to non-employees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees as the board viewed the awards to both employees and non-employees to be economically similar and that two different accounting models are not justified. The Company currently measures directors’ share-based payment awards at fair value as at their grant date; therefore the adoption of this standard on January 1, 2019 did not have any impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Codification Improvements In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-09 which includes clarifications to existing codifications or corrections of unintended application of guidance that is not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities. The amendments in this update include items raised for board consideration through the codification's feedback system that met the scope of this project, making due process necessary. The amendments affect a wide variety of topics in the codification. The amendments apply to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance. None of the topics deemed applicable upon adoption of this standard on January 1, 2019 have a material impact in the Company's interim consolidated financial statements. Topic 842, Leases In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11 for targeted improvements related to ASU 2016-02 which provides entities with an additional transition method to apply the new standard. Under the new optional transition method, an entity initially applies Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 842 at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Topic 842 became effective for the Company during the first quarter of 2019 and was applied using a modified retrospective approach by electing the additional transition method permitted by ASU 2018-11. Under the additional transition method, the Company's reporting for the comparative periods presented in its financial statements will be in accordance with the pre-effective date lease accounting requirements under Topic 840. The Company adopted Topic 842 effective on January 1, 2019, by electing as a package the practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance of Topic 842, and applied consistently to all leases that had commenced before the effective date of adoption. The package of practical expedients allowed the Company not to reassess the following: whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and initial direct costs for any existing leases. In addition to electing the package of practical expedients, the Company made an accounting policy election to account for non-lease components separately from lease components. Furthermore, the Company made an accounting policy election not to record leases with an initial term of twelve months or less in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company did not enter into any new lease arrangements during the three months ended March 31, 2019. The Company's future lease obligations of approximately $2,998 was calculated based on the present value of future annual rental commitments excluding taxes, insurance and other operating costs for non-cancellable operating leases discounted using the Company's secured incremental borrowing rate. This amount has been recognized on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a lease liability of $2,998 within accrued expenses and other liabilities with an equivalent amount for the right-of-use asset presented as part of other assets. However, under this guidance, the Company has continued to recognize the related leasing expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized total lease expenses of $421 in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The operating cash outflows from operating leases included in the measurement of the lease liability during the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $341. Therefore, the adoption of this standard on January 1, 2019 has impacted the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets but did not have any impact on its results of operations or cash flows. Please refer to "Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies b) Operating Lease Commitments" for further disclosures regarding the impact of the adoption of Topic 842 in the first quarter of 2019. Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08 to amend the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. Current GAAP excludes certain callable debt securities from consideration of early repayment of principal even if the holder is certain that the call will be exercised. As a result, upon the exercise of a call on a callable debt security held at a premium, the unamortized premium is recorded as a loss in earnings.The amendments in ASU 2017-08 affect all entities that hold investments in callable debt securities that have an amortized cost basis in excess of the amount that is repayable by the issuer at the earliest call date. The amendments shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium and require the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. For public business entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. An entity should apply the amendments on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) beginning of the period of adoption. Additionally, in the period of adoption, an entity should provide disclosures about a change in accounting principle. The Company holds a number of fixed maturities with callable features on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and this includes certain securities that have been purchased at a premium that are being amortized to their contractual maturity dates. The Company has always handled the amortization of any premiums by amortizing to the earliest effective maturity; therefore the adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2019 did not have any impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted Accounting for Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04 for targeted improvements related to ASU 2016-13 "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" which replaces the "incurred loss" impairment methodology with an approach based on "expected losses" to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The guidance requires financial assets measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost of the financial asset to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The Update also modified the accounting for available-for-sale ("AFS") debt securities, which must be individually assessed for credit losses when fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, in accordance with Subtopic 326-30, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses—Available-for-Sale Debt Securities. Credit losses relating to AFS debt securities will be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. The codification improvements in ASU 2019-04 clarify that an entity should include recoveries when estimating the allowance for credit losses. The amendments specify that expected recoveries of amounts previously written off and expected to be written off should be included in the valuation account and should not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously written off and expected to be written off by the entity. In addition, for collateral dependent financial assets, the amendments clarify that an allowance for credit losses that is added to the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) should not exceed amounts previously written off. The amendment also clarifies FASB’s intent to include all reinsurance recoverables that are within the scope of Topic 944 to be within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, regardless of the measurement basis of those recoverables.The guidance is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods therein. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
