(2) Losses and loss adjustment expenses for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2017, includes $1.3 million and $18.5 million of favorable development on prior accident year loss and loss adjustment expense reserves, respectively.

(3) Of the $3.1 million impairments recorded during 2017, $3.0 million were recorded during the fourth quarter as a result of our upcoming transition to a new investment policy statement and the related repositioning of our portfolio. These securities, impaired as we have an intent to sell, are expected to be sold between February and May 2018. We also intend to sell other securities that are currently in unrealized gain positions. The overall impact to the portfolio based on current market values, after security sales during the first and second quarters of 2018, is expected to be immaterial. The actual impact could be different as market values fluctuate over the transition period. |
