The Company enters into various agreements that may require its fixed maturities to be held as collateral by others. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, fixed maturities with fair values of $132.5 million and $106.6 million, respectively, were held as collateral for the FHLB collateralized borrowing program. See Note 5 — “Debt and Credit Arrangements” for additional information related to the Company’s FHLB program. Additionally, at December 31, 2022 and 2021, fixed maturities with fair values of $281.7 million and $303.4 million, respectively, were on deposit with various state governmental authorities or trustees.

The amortized cost and fair value by maturity periods for fixed maturities are shown in the following table. 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, or the Company may have the right to put or sell the obligations back to the issuers.

The Company views gross unrealized losses on fixed maturities as non-credit related and through its assessment of unrealized losses has determined that these securities will recover, allowing the Company to realize the anticipated long-term economic value. 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. The Company employs a systematic methodology to evaluate declines in fair value below amortized cost for fixed maturity securities. In determining impairments, the Company evaluates several factors and circumstances, including the issuer’s overall financial condition; the issuer’s credit and financial strength ratings; the issuer’s financial performance, including earnings trends and asset quality; any specific events which may influence the operations of the issuer; the general outlook for market conditions in the industry or geographic region in which the issuer operates; and the degree to which the fair value of an issuer’s securities is below the Company’s amortized cost. The Company also considers any factors that might raise doubt about the issuer’s ability to make contractual payments as they come due and whether the Company expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security.

D. OTHER INVESTMENTS

The Company’s mortgage participations and other mortgage loans were $388.6 million and $434.0 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Participating interests in commercial mortgage loans are originated and serviced by a third-party. For these investments, the Company shares, on a pro-rata basis, in all related cash flows of the underlying mortgages.

At December 31, 2022, scheduled maturities of mortgage participations and other loans were as follows: due in 2023 - $6.7 million; in 2024 - $46.4 million; 2025 - $96.3 million; 2026 - $51.5 million and thereafter - $187.7 million. Actual maturities could differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalties, and loans may be refinanced. During 2022, the Company did not refinance any loans based on terms that differed from current market rates.

In determining estimated credit losses on mortgage participations and other loans, the Company evaluates several factors, including credit risk. The amortized cost of mortgage participations and other loans by credit ratings and year of origination was as follows:
