Fixed Maturity and Equity Securities

The amortized cost/cost, gross unrealized gains and losses, estimated fair values and other-than-temporary impairments (“OTTI”) reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) of investments in fixed maturity and equity AFS securities at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were:

(a)	Represents OTTI in AOCI, which were not included in earnings. Amount excludes $2,364 and $2,446 of unrealized gains at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Excluding investments in U.S. government and government agencies, the Company is not exposed to any significant concentration of credit risk in its fixed maturity securities portfolio.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of fixed maturity AFS securities by investment grade at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were:

	March 31, 2017				December 31, 2016
			Estimated				Estimated
	Amortized		Fair		Amortized		Fair

Total fixed maturity AFS securities	$	1,354,397	$	1,463,444	$	1,383,787	$	1,487,037

At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the estimated fair value of fixed maturity securities rated BBB-, which is the lowest investment grade rating given by rating agencies, was $68,561 and $65,730, respectively. Below investment grade securities are speculative and are subject to significantly greater risks related to the creditworthiness of the issuers and the liquidity of the market for such securities. The Company closely monitors such investments to assess whether they are other-than-temporarily impaired.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of fixed maturity AFS securities at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 by contractual maturities were:

In the preceding table, fixed maturity securities not due at a single maturity date have been included in the year of final maturity. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Unrealized Losses on Fixed Maturity and Equity Securities

The Company’s investments in fixed maturity and equity securities classified as AFS are carried at estimated fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in stockholder’s equity as a component of AOCI, net of taxes.

The estimated fair value and gross unrealized losses and OTTI related to fixed maturity and equity AFS securities aggregated by length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were as follows:

(a)	Subsequent unrealized gains (losses) on OTTI securities are included in Net unrealized OTTI on securities in the Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

The total number of securities in an unrealized loss position was 63 and 81 at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The Company held 357 and 360 total securities at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

The fair value, gross unrealized losses, the portion of OTTI recognized in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and the number of securities with fair value declining below amortized cost by greater than 20% and 40% (continuous unrealized loss position) were as follows at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

	March 31, 2017							December 31, 2016
	Estimated		Gross					Estimated			Gross
	Fair		Unrealized			Number of		Fair			Unrealized			Number of
	Value		Losses/OTTI (a)			Securities		Value			Losses/OTTI (a)			Securities

Total	$	1,423	$	(566	)		1	$	1,375	$		(614	)		1

Unrealized gains (losses) incurred during the first three months of 2017 and twelve months of 2016 were primarily due to price fluctuations resulting from changes in interest rates and credit spreads. If the Company has the intent to sell or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these securities prior to the anticipated recovery of the amortized cost, securities are written down to fair value. If cash flow models indicate a credit event will impact future cash flows, the security is impaired to discounted cash flows. For fixed maturity AFS securities, the Company does not intend to sell them, nor is it more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell them before the recovery of its amortized cost basis, and the Company expects to recover the entire cost basis of the debt securities. In making the other-than-temporary impairment assessment, the Company also considered all available information relevant to the collectability of the security, including information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts, when developing the estimate of cash flows expected to be collected. Therefore, the Company determined that these fixed maturity AFS securities were not other-than-temporarily impaired.

The components of net unrealized gains (losses) and OTTI included in AOCI, net of taxes, at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were as follows:

	March 31,			December 31,

Mortgage Loans on Real Estate

Mortgage loans on real estate consist entirely of mortgages on commercial real estate. Prepayment premiums are collected when borrowers elect to prepay their debt prior to the stated maturity. There were $62 in prepayment premiums collected during the three months ended March 31, 2017. There were no prepayment premiums collected for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Prepayment premiums are included in net realized investment gains (losses), excluding OTTI losses on securities, in the Statements of Income (Loss). The Company does not accrue interest on loans ninety days past due. At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there were no commercial mortgage loans that had two or more payments delinquent.

The fair values of mortgage loans on real estate are estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and/or similar remaining maturities. The estimated fair value of the mortgages on commercial real estate at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $124,725 and $115,020, respectively.

Loans are considered impaired when it is probable that, based upon current information and events, the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. A valuation allowance is established when a loan is determined to be impaired for the excess carrying value of the loan over its estimated collateral value. There were no impaired mortgage loans at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. For the portion of the mortgage loan portfolio without specific reserves, an allowance for credit losses is established. The change in the allowance for credit losses is reflected in net realized investment gains (losses), excluding OTTI losses on securities, in the Statements of Income (Loss).

The commercial mortgages are geographically diversified throughout the United States with the largest concentrations in Pennsylvania, Florida, California, Missouri, Washington, Texas, Georgia, Virginia, Wisconsin, Utah, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Oregon and Tennessee which account for approximately 90% of mortgage loans at March 31, 2017.

The credit quality of commercial mortgage loans at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, was as follows:

	March 31,				December 31,
Commercial	2017			2016
AAA - AA	$	35,970		$		43,047
A		71,482				55,269
BBB		14,934				17,970
Total mortgage loans on real estate	$	122,386		$		116,286
Less: allowance for credit losses		(81	)			(78	)

Total mortgage loans on real estate, net	$	122,305		$		116,208

The credit quality of the commercial mortgage loans was determined based on an internal credit rating model that assigns a letter rating to each mortgage loan in the portfolio as an indicator of the quality of the mortgage loan. The internal credit rating model was designed based on a rating agency methodology, then modified for credit risk associated with the Company’s mortgage lending process, taking into account such factors as projected future cash flows, net operating income, and collateral value. The model produces a rating score and an associated letter rating that is intended to align with S&P GRS ratings as closely as possible. Information supporting the risk rating process is updated at least annually. While mortgage loans with a lower rating carry a higher risk of loss, an adequate allowance for credit losses has been established to cover those risks.

All components of each derivative’s gain or loss were included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness.

At March 31, 2017, the before-tax deferred net gains (losses) on derivatives recorded in AOCI that are expected to be reclassified to the Statements of Income (Loss) during the next twelve months are ($988). This expectation is based on the anticipated interest payments on the hedged investments in Treasury Inflation Protection Securities (“TIPS”) that will occur over the next twelve months, at which time the Company will recognize the deferred gains (losses) as an adjustment to interest income over the term of the investment cash flows.

In addition, in order to trade futures, the Company is required to post collateral to an exchange (sometimes referred to as margin). The fair value of collateral posted in relation to the futures margin was $5,356 and $5,276 at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Offsetting of Derivative Instruments

The Company has derivative instruments that are subject to master netting agreements. These agreements include provisions to setoff positions with the same counterparties in the event of default by one of the parties.
