8.          Statutory Reporting

 

NCTIC's assets, liabilities, and results of operations have been reported in accordance with GAAP, which varies from statutory accounting practices (SAP) prescribed or permitted by insurance regulatory authorities. Prescribed SAP are found in a variety of publications of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, state laws and regulations, as well as through general practices. Statutory accounting principles differ in some respects from GAAP, and these differences include, but are not limited to, non-admission of certain assets (principally limitations on deferred tax assets, goodwill, capitalized furniture and equipment, investment in subsidiaries and affiliates, real estate, capitalized software, and premiums and other receivables 90 days past due), reporting of bonds at amortized cost, recognition of credit losses against unassigned surplus, deferred income taxes, changes in the fair values of marketable equity securities, amortization of goodwill, deferral of premiums received as statutory premium reserve, supplemental reserve and exclusion of the incurred but not reported claims reserve. The Company must file with applicable state insurance regulatory authorities an “Annual Statement” which reports, among other items, net income or loss and stockholders' equity (called “surplus as regards policyholders” in statutory reporting).

 

Capital and surplus on a statutory basis was $5.7 million as of December 31, 2022, compared to $5.1 million as of December 31, 2021. Net income on a statutory basis was $361,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $95,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2022, approximately all of consolidated shareholders’ equity represents net assets of NCTIC that cannot be transferred in the form of dividends, loans or advances to the parent company under statutory regulations without prior insurance department approval. During 2022, the maximum distributions the insurance subsidiaries can make to the Company without prior approval from applicable regulators total approximately $50,000 plus any earnings and capital gains derived in 2022.
