*Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-01. As a result, equity securities are no longer classified as available-for-sale with unrealized gains and losses recognized in other comprehensive income; rather, all changes in the fair value of equity securities are now recognized in earnings. Since changes in fair value are recognized in earnings each reporting period, OTTI is no longer recognized on equity securities in a loss position. Prior periods have not been restated to conform to the current presentation. See note 3, Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements.
