Summary
This amended 10-Q filing for The Progressive Corporation (PGR) as of March 31, 2006, primarily addresses accounting adjustments related to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), "Share-Based Payment." The company reclassified $99.5 million from "Unamortized restricted stock" to equity and liability accounts, impacting its balance sheet. This amendment also corrects an erroneous date in prior Section 1350 Certifications. From an investor's perspective, the balance sheet shows a significant increase in total assets to $19.26 billion compared to the prior quarter and year-end, driven by growth in investments and premiums receivable. Shareholders' equity also saw a substantial increase, primarily due to retained earnings and a reclassification that eliminated unamortized restricted stock. Investors should note the company's substantial investment portfolio, comprising fixed maturities and equity securities, as well as its significant unearned premiums and loss reserves.
