____________

(1) Reinsurance recoverable in this table includes only ceded unpaid loss and LAE

Unpaid loss and LAE includes anticipated salvage and subrogation recoverable.

Considerable variability is inherent in the estimate of the reserve for losses and LAE. Although management believes the liability recorded for losses and LAE is adequate, the variability inherent in this estimate could result in changes to the ultimate liability, which may be material to stockholders' equity. Additional variability exists due to accident year allocations of ceded amounts in accordance with reinsurance agreements, which is not expected to result in any changes to the ultimate liability. The Company had favorable development on net loss and LAE reserves of $0.1 million and $1.5 million as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. No additional premium or returned premium have been accrued as a result of prior year effects.

The Company compiles and aggregates its claims data by grouping the claims according to the year in which the claim occurred (Accident Year) when analyzing claim payment and emergence patterns and trends over time. For the purpose of defining claims frequency, the number of reported claims is by loss occurrence and includes claims that do not result in a liability or payment associated with them.

The following is information about incurred and paid loss development as of December 31, 2020, net of reinsurance, as well as cumulative claim frequency and the total of IBNR liabilities included within the net incurred loss amounts. The information about incurred and paid claims development for the years ended prior to December 31, 2020, is presented as unaudited supplementary information.

Statutory Financial InformationU.S. state insurance laws and regulations prescribe accounting practices for determining statutory net income and capital and surplus for insurance companies. In addition, state regulators may permit statutory accounting practices that differ from prescribed practices. Statutory accounting practices ("SAP") prescribed or permitted by regulatory authorities for statements of the Company's insurance subsidiary are (a) policy acquisition costs are expensed as incurred under SAP, whereas they are deferred and amortized under GAAP, (b) certain assets are not admitted for purposes of determining surplus under SAP, (c) investments in fixed income securities are carried at amortized cost under SAP, whereas such securities are carried at fair value under GAAP, and (d) the criteria for recognizing net deferred tax assets ("DTAs") and the methodologies used to determine such amounts are different under SAP and GAAP.Risk-based capital (“RBC”) requirements promulgated by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners require property/casualty insurers to maintain minimum capitalization levels determined based on formulas incorporating various business risks of the insurance subsidiaries. LIC’s statutory capital and surplus amounted to $61.4 million and $48.4 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company’s capital and surplus exceeded its authorized control level RBC of $10.9 million and $13.7 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
