The Company does not intend to sell the investments that are in an unrealized loss position at December 31, 2013 and it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to hold these securities until full recovery of their amortized cost basis for fixed maturity securities or cost for equity securities. As of December 31, 2013, based on the Company's review, none of the fixed maturity or equity securities were deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired based on the Company's analysis of the securities and its intent to hold the securities until recovery. At December 31, 2012, based on management's review, the Company deemed that one individual equity security was other than temporarily impaired and recorded an impairment charge of $16.0 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2012.
