(1)In October 2022, KICO placed certain U.S. Treasury securities to fulfill the required collateral for a sale-leaseback transaction in a designated custodian account (see Note 7 – Debt - “Equipment Financing”). As of December 31, 2024 KICO had sold its U.S. Treasury securities and replaced a portion of its other fixed-maturity securities in the designated custodian account. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the amount of required collateral was approximately $3,193,000 and $3,616,000, respectively. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the estimated fair value of the eligible collateral was approximately $3,193,000 and $3,616,000, respectively.
(2)KICO has placed certain residential mortgage backed securities as eligible collateral in a designated custodian account related to its membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLBNY”) (see Note 7 – Debt – “Federal Home Loan Bank”). The eligible collateral would be pledged to FHLBNY if KICO draws an advance from the FHLBNY credit line. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the estimated fair value of the eligible investments was approximately $9,313,000 and $9,598,000, respectively. KICO will retain all rights regarding all securities if pledged as collateral. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there was no outstanding balance on the FHLBNY credit line.

Allowance for Credit Loss
For available-for-sale fixed maturity securities, a credit loss exists if the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis. The allowance for credit losses related to available-for-sale fixed maturity securities is the difference between the present value of cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. The Company considers all available evidence when determining whether an investment requires a credit loss write-down or allowance to be recorded, which is recognized in net loss through an allowance for credit losses. Any remaining decline in fair value represents the noncredit portion of the impairment, which is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).
The Company did not identify any available-for-sale securities as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 which presented a risk of loss due to credit deterioration of the security.
At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were 244 and 125 fixed-maturity securities, respectively, that accounted for the gross unrealized losses. The Company determined that none of the unrealized losses were deemed to be credit losses for its portfolio of investments for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Significant factors influencing the Company’s determination that unrealized losses were temporary included credit quality considerations, the magnitude of the unrealized losses in relation to each security’s cost, the nature of the investment and interest rate environment factors, and management’s intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for an anticipated recovery of estimated fair value to the Company’s cost basis.
The Company held available-for-sale securities with unrealized losses representing declines that were considered temporary at March 31, 2026 as follows:
