Concentrations of Credit Risk
Note 9 – Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company maintains cash balances in financial institutions that at times may exceed federally insured limits.  The Company maintains its primary operating cash accounts with First Southern National Bank, an affiliate of the largest shareholder of UTG, Mr. Jesse Correll, the Company’s CEO and Chairman.  The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

Because UTG serves primarily individuals located in three states, the ability of the Company's customers to pay their insurance premiums is impacted by the economic conditions in these areas.  As of March 31, 2025 and 2024, approximately 51% and 49%, respectively, of the Company’s total direct premium was collected from Illinois, Ohio, and Texas. Thus, results of operations are heavily dependent upon the strength of these economies.

The Company reinsures that portion of insurance risk which is in excess of its retention limits. Retention limits range up to $125,000 per life.  Life insurance ceded represented 21% and 20% of total life insurance in force at March 31, 2025 and  December 31, 2024, respectively.  Insurance ceded represented 57% and 31% of premium income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company would be liable for the reinsured risks ceded to other companies to the extent that such reinsuring companies are unable to meet their obligations.

The Company owns a variety of investments associated with the oil and gas industry. These investments represent approximately 33% and 34% of the Company’s total invested assets as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The following table provides an allocation of the oil and gas investments by type.
