Other-than-temporary Impairment

The Company regularly reviews individual impaired investment securities for other-than-temporary impairment. The Company considers various factors in determining whether each individual security is other-than-temporarily impaired, including:

• the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events that may affect its operations or earnings;

• the length of time and the extent to which the market value of the security has been below its cost or amortized cost;

• general market conditions and industry or sector specific factors;

• nonpayment by the issuer of its contractually obligated interest and principal payments; and

• the Company’s intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for the recovery of costs.

Securities with gross unrealized loss positions at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, aggregated by investment category and length of time the individual securities have been in a continuous loss position, are as follows:

	Less Than Twelve Months					Twelve Months or Greater					Total

At December 31, 2014, there were 94 securities in an unrealized loss position. Of these securities, nine securities had been in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or greater.

Based on the Company’s recent review, the unrealized losses on investments in fixed-maturity securities were caused primarily by expectation of interest rate changes. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates or market conditions and not a decline in credit quality, and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these securities and it is probable that the Company will not be required to sell these securities until a market price recovery or maturity, the Company does not consider any of its fixed-maturity securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

In determining whether equity securities are other than temporarily impaired, the Company considers its intent and ability to hold a security for a period of time sufficient to allow for the recovery of cost. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company determined that four and six equity securities, respectively, were other-than-temporarily impaired after considering the length of time each security had been in an unrealized loss position, the extent of the decline and the near term prospect for recovery. As a result, the Company recognized impairment losses of $293 and $1,983, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. There were no impairment losses recorded in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.
