Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of an asset or liability is the price that would be received to sell that asset or paid to transfer that liability in an orderly transaction occurring in the principal market (or most advantageous market in the absence of a principal market) for such asset or liability. In estimating fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. Such valuation techniques are consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques include the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The Company uses a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

●

Level

inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement rate.

●

Level

inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level

that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

●

Level

inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability and reflect an entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

Fixed maturities, available for sale

: Fair values of available for sale fixed maturity securities are provided by a

third

party pricing service. The pricing service uses a variety of sources to determine fair value of securities. The Company's fixed maturity securities are highly liquid, which allows for a high percentage of the portfolio to be priced through pricing sources.

Equity securities:

Fair values for equity securities are also provided by a

third

party pricing service and are derived from active trading on national market exchanges.

Embedded derivative

: The fair value of embedded derivatives associated with funds withheld reinsurance treaty is determined upon a total return swap technique with reference to the fair value of the investments held by the ceding company that support the Company's funds withheld asset with an adjustment for a credit valuation adjustment. The fair value of the underlying assets is generally based upon market observable inputs with industry standard valuation techniques. The valuation also requires certain significant inputs, which are generally

not

observable and accordingly, the valuation is considered level

in the fair value hierarchy. The Company's utilization of a credit-valuation adjustment did

not

have a material effect on the change in fair value of the embedded derivative for the

three

months ended

March 31, 2021

and

2020.

The Company discloses the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are

not

measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value or non-recurring basis are discussed above. The methodologies for other financial assets and financial liabilities

not

measured at fair value on a recurring basis are discussed below:

Cash and cash equivalents

: The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Investment income due and accrued:

The carrying amounts approximate fair value net of any unamortized premium or discount because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Mortgage loans on real estate:

Mortgage loans are carried at their unpaid principal value as that is considered the fair market values for these loans.

Funds withheld

: The carrying value of funds withheld at interest approximates fair value as funds are specifically identified in the agreement. The fair value of the specified funds is based on the fair value of the underlying assets that are held by the ceding company. The ceding company uses a variety of sources and pricing methodologies, which are

not

transparent to the Company and

may

include significant unobservable inputs to value the securities held in distinct portfolios, therefore the valuation of these funds withheld assets are considered Level

in the fair value hierarchy.

Policy loans

: Policy loans are stated at unpaid principal balances. As these loans are fully collateralized by the cash surrender value of the underlying insurance policies, the carrying value of the policy loans approximates their fair value.

Federal Home Loan Bank advances:

FHLB advances are stated at the outstanding principal balances and the carrying value approximates fair value.

Policyholder deposits in deposit-type contracts

: The fair value for policyholder deposits deposit-type insurance contracts (accumulation annuities) is calculated using a discounted cash flow approach. Cash flows are projected using actuarial assumptions and discounted to the valuation date using risk-free rates adjusted for credit risk and the nonperformance risk of the liabilities.

The estimated fair values of the Company's financial assets and liabilities at

March 31, 2021

and

December 31, 2020

are as follows:
