Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services said that it lowered its counterparty credit and financial strength ratings on Washington Casualty Co. to single-‘Bpi’ from triple-‘Bpi’ because of the company’s deteriorating surplus position, which was caused by substantial underwriting losses.

Washington, with some additional business in Idaho, Oregon, and Montana. With $5.8 million in surplus as of June 30, 2002, the company is a very small insurer. The company commenced operations in 1977.
