The fair value and the cost or amortized costs of fixed income investments at March 31, 2020, organized by contractual maturity, are shown below.  Actual maturities may ultimately differ from contractual maturities because borrowers have, in some cases, the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Pre-refunded municipal bonds are classified based on their pre-refunded call dates.

As discussed in Note 1, the Company adopted the provisions of the new CECL model for measuring expected credit losses for available-for-sale fixed income securities as of January 1, 2020.  The updated guidance amended the previous OTTI model for available-for-sale fixed income securities by requiring the recognition of impairments relating to credit losses through an allowance account on the balance sheet with a corresponding adjustment to earnings and limits the amount of credit loss to the difference between a security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value.  As of March 31, 2020, the Company intended to sell one security in an unrealized loss position and, in accordance with the new guidance, recorded $40 of a write down to earnings.  The Company reviewed its remaining fixed income securities in an unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2020 and determined that the losses were primarily the result of non-credit factors, such as the increase in market volatility due to the recent disruption in global financial markets as a result of the novel coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic and responses to it.  The Company currently does not intend to sell nor does it expect to be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost.  Based on the above factors, the Company did not record any allowance for credit losses related to its available-for-sale securities under the new guidance in the first quarter of 2020.

Shareholders' equity at March 31, 2020 included approximately $4,453, net of federal income tax expense, of reported earnings that remain undistributed by limited partnerships.
