Other-Than-Temporary Impairment

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company did not recognize any OTTI charges in net income (loss).

The Company believes that the securities having unrealized losses at March 31, 2017 were not other-than-temporarily impaired. The Company also does not intend to sell any of these securities and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell any of these securities before the recovery of their amortized cost basis.

Other Investments

Other investments consist of the common stock of a real estate investment trust and limited partnership interests in two funds that invest in (i) commercial real estate and secured commercial real estate loans acquired from financial intuitions and (ii) undervalued international publicly-traded equities. These investments have redemption and transfer restrictions. The Company does not intend to sell these investments, and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell them before the expiration of such restrictions. At March 31, 2017, the Company had an unfunded commitment to invest $2.5 million into limited partnership that invests in a pre-identified pool of select buyout private equity funds.

Restrictions

At March 31, 2017, fixed maturities and cash equivalents with a fair value and amortized cost of $6.3 million were on deposit with various insurance departments as a requirement of doing business in those states. Cash equivalents with a fair value and amortized cost of $17.1 million were on deposit with another insurance company as collateral for an assumed reinsurance contract.
