The above securities for Indemnity and the Exchange have been evaluated and determined to be temporary impairments for which we expect to recover our entire principal plus interest. The primary components of this analysis include a general review of market conditions and financial performance of the issuer along with the extent and duration at which fair value is less than cost. Any securities that we intend to sell or will more likely than not be required to sell before recovery are included in other-than-temporary impairments with the impairment charges recognized in earnings.

Net impairment losses recorded in earnings for the Exchange were $2 million for the first quarter of 2015, compared to net impairment losses of $0.2 million for the first quarter of 2014.
In considering if fixed maturity securities were credit-impaired, some of the factors considered include: potential for the default of interest and/or principal, level of subordination, collateral of the issue, compliance with financial covenants, credit ratings and industry conditions. We have the intent to sell all credit-impaired fixed maturity securities, therefore the entire amount of the impairment charges were included in earnings and no non-credit impairments were recognized in other comprehensive income.
Limited partnerships
Limited partnership investments, excluding certain real estate limited partnerships recorded at fair value, are generally reported on a one-quarter lag, therefore our year-to-date limited partnership results through March 31, 2015 are comprised of partnership financial results for the fourth quarter of 2014. Given the lag in reporting, our limited partnership results do not reflect the market conditions of the first quarter of 2015. Cash contributions made to and distributions received from the partnerships are recorded in the period in which the transaction occurs.
At the conclusion of each quarter, we survey each general partner to determine if they are aware of changes to valuations, plus or minus 10% compared to the previous quarter valuation, prior to the release of the fund’s financial statements. Based upon that information from the general partner, we consider whether additional disclosure is warranted. In April 2015, a private equity partnership identified a significant valuation increase that will be reported in the fund’s March 31, 2015 financial statements. Given the one-quarter reporting lag, this change will be reflected in the second quarter 2015 consolidated financial statements. Based upon the general partner’s estimate of the valuation change, Indemnity and the Exchange expect to record equity in earnings of limited partnerships from this investment in the second quarter of 2015 of approximately $7 million and $28 million, respectively.

We have provided summarized financial information in the following tables for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and for the year ended December 31, 2014. Amounts provided in the tables are presented using the latest available financial statements received from the partnerships for the respective periods. Limited partnership financial information has been presented based upon the investment percentage in the partnerships for the Erie Insurance Group consistent with how we evaluate these investments.
As these investments are generally reported on a one-quarter lag, our limited partnership results through March 31, 2015 include partnership financial results for the fourth quarter of 2014.
