Net income of the Insurance Subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned, as determined in accordance with statutory accounting practices, was $22,000, $31,647 and $25,627 for 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  Consolidated statutory capital and surplus for these subsidiaries was $421,663 and $399,314 at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, of which $59,106 may be transferred by dividend or loan to the parent company during calendar year 2018 with proper notification to, but without approval from, regulatory authorities.
State regulatory authorities prescribe calculations of the minimum amount of statutory capital and surplus necessary for each insurance company to remain authorized.  These computations are referred to as Risk Based Capital ("RBC") requirements and are based on a number of complex factors taking into consideration the quality and nature of assets, the historical adequacy of recorded liabilities and the specific nature of business conducted.  At December 31, 2017, the minimum statutory capital and surplus requirements of the Insurance Subsidiaries was $104,913.  Actual consolidated statutory capital and surplus at December 31, 2017 exceeded this requirement by $316,750.
