Organization, Consolidation and Presentation	ORGANIZATION, CONSOLIDATION AND PRESENTATION
	(a)Business
	United Insurance Holdings Corp. (referred to in this document as we, our, us, the Company or UPC Insurance) is a property and casualty insurance holding company that sources, writes, and services residential and commercial property and casualty insurance policies using a network of agents and two wholly-owned insurance subsidiaries. Our primary insurance subsidiary is United Property & Casualty Insurance Company, which was formed in Florida in 1999 and has operated continuously since that time. Our other subsidiaries include United Insurance Management, L.C., the managing general agent that manages substantially all aspects of United Property & Casualty Insurance Company's business; Skyway Claims Services, LLC (our claims adjusting affiliate) that provides services to our insurance affiliates; and UPC Re (our reinsurance affiliate), that provides a portion of the reinsurance protection purchased by our insurance affiliates. On February 3, 2015, we acquired Family Security Holdings, LLC (FSH) and its two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Family Security Insurance Company and Family Security Underwriters, via merger. See Note 4 for information regarding this acquisition.
	Our primary product is homeowners' insurance, which we currently offer in Florida, Louisiana, Massachusetts, New Jersey, North Carolina, Rhode Island, South Carolina and Texas, and we are licensed to write in Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Hawaii, Maryland, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New York and Virginia.
	We conduct our operations under one business segment.
	(b)Consolidation and Presentation
	We prepare our financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). While preparing our financial statements, we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Reported amounts that require us to make extensive use of estimates include our reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses, reinsurance recoverable, deferred policy acquisition costs, and investments. Except for the captions on our Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets and Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, we generally use the term loss(es) to collectively refer to both loss and loss adjustment expenses.
	We include all of our subsidiaries in our unaudited consolidated financial statements, eliminating all significant intercompany balances and transactions during consolidation.
	We prepared the accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2015, with the Audited Consolidated Balance Sheet amounts as of December 31, 2014, presented for comparative purposes, and the related Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and Statements of Cash Flows in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10-01 of Regulation S-X. In compliance with those instructions, we have omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, though management believes the disclosures made herein are sufficient to ensure that the information presented is not misleading.
	Our results of operations and our cash flows as of the end of the interim periods reported herein do not necessarily indicate the results we may experience for the remainder of the year or for any other future period.
	We reclassified certain amounts in the 2014 financial statements to conform to the 2015 presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on our results of operations, cash flows or stockholders' equity as previously reported.
	Management believes our unaudited consolidated interim financial statements include all the normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present our Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2015, our Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and our Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for all periods presented. Our unaudited consolidated Interim financial statements and footnotes should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and footnotes included within our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (2014 Form 10-K).

Significant Accounting Policies	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	(a) Changes to significant accounting policies
	We have made no material changes to our significant accounting policies as reported in our 2014 Form 10-K.
	(b) Fair value assumptions
	The carrying amounts for the following financial instrument categories approximate their fair values at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, because of their short-term nature: cash and cash equivalents, accrued investment income, premiums receivable, reinsurance recoverable, reinsurance payable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The carrying amount of notes payable approximates fair value as the interest rate is variable.
	(c) Pending Accounting Pronouncements
	We have evaluated pending accounting pronouncements and do not believe they would have an impact on the operations or financial reporting of our Company.

	Portfolio monitoring
	We have a comprehensive portfolio monitoring process to identify and evaluate each fixed income and equity security whose carrying value may be other-than-temporarily impaired.
For each fixed income security in an unrealized loss position, we determine if the loss is temporary or other-than-temporarily impaired. If our management decides to sell the security or determines that it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of the cost or amortized cost basis for reasons such as liquidity, contractual or regulatory purposes, then the security's decline in fair value is considered other-than-temporary and is recorded in earnings.
If we have not made the decision to sell the fixed income security and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the fixed income security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, we evaluate whether we expect the security to receive cash flows sufficient to recover the entire cost or amortized cost basis of the security. We calculate the estimated recovery value by discounting the best estimate of future cash flows at the security's original or current effective rate, as appropriate, and compare this to the cost or amortized cost of the security. If we do not expect to receive cash flows sufficient to recover the entire cost or amortized cost basis of the fixed income security, the credit loss component of the impairment is recorded in earnings, with the remaining amount of the unrealized loss related to other factors recognized in other comprehensive income.
For equity securities, we consider various factors, including whether we have the intent and ability to hold the equity security for a period of time sufficient to recover its cost basis. If we lack the intent and ability to hold to recovery, or if we believe the recovery period is extended, the equity security's decline in fair value is considered other-than-temporary and is recorded in earnings.
Our portfolio monitoring process includes a quarterly review of all securities to identify instances where the fair value of a security compared to its cost or amortized cost (for fixed income securities) or cost (for equity securities) is below established thresholds. The process also includes the monitoring of other impairment indicators such as ratings, ratings downgrades and payment defaults. The securities identified, in addition to other securities for which we may have a concern, are evaluated for potential other-than-temporary impairment using all reasonably available information relevant to the collectability or recovery of the security. Inherent in our evaluation of other-than-temporary impairment for these fixed income and equity securities are assumptions and estimates about the financial condition and future earnings potential of the issue or issuer. Some of the factors that may be considered in evaluating whether a decline in fair value is other-than-temporary are: (1) the financial condition, near-term and long-term prospects of the issue or issuer, including relevant industry specific market conditions and trends, geographic location and implications of rating agency actions and offering prices; (2) the specific reasons that a security is in an unrealized loss position, including overall market conditions which could affect liquidity; and (3) the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than amortized cost or cost.
The following table presents an aging of our unrealized investment losses by investment class:

* This amount represents the actual number of discrete securities, not the number of shares of those securities. The numbers are not presented in thousands.
During our quarterly evaluations of our securities for impairment, we determined that none of our investments in debt and equity securities that reflected an unrealized loss position were other-than-temporarily impaired. The issuers of our debt securities continue to make interest payments on a timely basis.  We do not intend to sell nor is it likely that we would be required to sell the debt securities before we recover our amortized cost basis. All the issuers of the equity securities we own had near-term prospects that indicated we could recover our cost basis, and we also do not intend to sell these securities until their value equals or exceeds their cost.
During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we recorded no other-than-temporary impairment charges.
Fair value measurement
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The hierarchy for inputs used in determining fair value maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that observable inputs be used when available. Assets and liabilities recorded on the Audited Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value are categorized in the fair value hierarchy based on the observability of inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1: Assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that we can access.
Level 2: Assets and liabilities whose values are based on the following:
(a) Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
(b) Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or
(c) Valuation models whose inputs are observable, directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3: Assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Unobservable inputs reflect our estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use in valuing the assets and liabilities.
We estimate the fair value of our investments using the closing prices on the last business day of the reporting period, obtained from active markets such as the NYSE, NASDAQ, and NYSE MKT. For securities for which quoted prices in active markets are unavailable, we use a third-party pricing service that utilizes quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments, benchmark interest rates, broker quotes and other relevant inputs to estimate the fair value of those securities for which quoted prices are unavailable. Our estimates of fair value reflect the interest rate environment that existed as of the close of business on March 31, 2015 and 2014. Changes in interest rates subsequent to March 31, 2015 may affect the fair value of our investments.
The fair value for our fixed-maturities is initially calculated by a third-party pricing service. Valuation service providers typically obtain data about market transactions and other key valuation model inputs from multiple sources, and through the use of proprietary models, produce valuation information in the form of a single fair value for individual fixed income and other securities for which a fair value has been requested. The inputs used by the valuation service providers include, but are not limited to, market prices from recently completed transactions and transactions of comparable securities, interest rate yield curves, credit spreads, liquidity spreads, currency rates, and other information, as applicable. Credit and liquidity spreads are typically implied from completed transactions and transactions of comparable securities. Valuation service providers also use proprietary discounted cash flow models that are widely accepted in the financial services industry and similar to those used by other market participants to value the same financial information. The valuation models take into account, among other things, market observable information as of the measurement date, as described above, as well as the specific attributes of the security being valued including its term, interest rate, credit rating, industry sector, and where applicable, collateral quality and other issue or issuer specific information. Executing valuation models effectively requires seasoned professional judgment and experience.
For our Level 3 assets, our internal pricing methods are primarily based on models using discounted cash flow methodologies that determine a single best estimate of fair value for individual financial instruments. In addition, our models use a discount rate and internally assigned credit ratings as inputs (which are generally consistent with any external ratings) and those we use to report our holdings by credit rating. Market related inputs used in these fair values, which we believe are representative of inputs other market participants would use to determine fair value of the same instruments include: interest rate yield curves, quoted market prices of comparable securities, credit spreads, and other applicable market data. As a result of the significance of non-market observable inputs, including internally assigned credit ratings as described above, judgment is required in developing these fair values. The fair value of these financial assets may differ from the amount actually received if we were to sell the asset. Moreover, the use of different valuation assumptions may have a material effect on the fair values on the financial assets.
Any change in the estimated fair value of our securities would impact the amount of unrealized gain or loss we have recorded, which could change the amount we have recorded for our investments and other comprehensive income on our Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2015.
The carrying amounts for the following financial instrument categories approximate their fair values at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 because of their short-term nature: cash and cash equivalents, accrued investment income, premiums receivable, reinsurance recoverable, reinsurance payable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses. The carrying amount of notes payable also approximates its fair value as the interest rate on the note payable is variable.
The following table presents the fair value of our financial instruments measured on a recurring basis by level at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

We are responsible for the determination of fair value and the supporting assumptions and methodologies. We gain assurance on the overall reasonableness and consistent application of valuation methodologies and inputs and compliance with accounting standards through the execution of various processes and controls designed to provide assurance that our assets and liabilities are appropriately valued. For fair values received from third parties, our processes are designed to provide assurance that the valuation methodologies and inputs are appropriate and consistently applied, the assumptions are reasonable and consistent with the objective of determining fair value, and the fair values are accurately recorded.
At the end of each quarter, we determine whether we need to transfer the fair values of any securities between levels of the fair value hierarchy and, if so, we report the transfer as of the end of the quarter. During the first quarter of 2015, we transferred no investments between levels. We used unobservable inputs to derive our estimated fair value for Level 3 investments and the unobservable inputs are significant to the overall fair value measurement.
For our investments in U.S. government securities that do not have prices in active markets, agency securities, state and municipal governments, and corporate bonds, we obtain the fair values from Synovus Trust Company, NA, which uses a third-party valuation service. The valuation service calculates prices for our investments in the aforementioned security types on a month-end basis by using several matrix-pricing methodologies that incorporate inputs from various sources. The model the valuation service uses to price U.S. government securities and securities of states and municipalities incorporates inputs from active market makers and inter-dealer brokers. To price corporate bonds and agency securities, the valuation service calculates non-call yield spreads on all issuers, uses option-adjusted yield spreads to account for any early redemption features, then adds final spreads to the U.S. Treasury curve at 3 p.m. (ET) as of quarter end. Since the inputs the valuation service uses in their calculations are not quoted prices in active markets, but are observable inputs, they represent Level 2 inputs.
Other investments
We acquired investments in limited partnerships, recorded in the other investments line of our Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, that are currently being accounted for at fair value utilizing a discounted cash flow methodology. The estimated fair value of our investments in the limited partnership interests was $2,743,000. We have fully funded our investments in DCR and RCH, but we are still obligated to fund an additional $1,261,000 for our investment in Kayne. The information presented in the table below is as of March 31, 2015.

Reinsurance Disclosures [Abstract]
Reinsurance	REINSURANCE
	Our reinsurance program is designed, utilizing our risk management methodology, to address our exposure to catastrophes. According to the Insurance Service Office (ISO), a catastrophe loss is defined as a single unpredictable incident or series of closely related incidents that result in $25,000,000 or more in U.S. industry-wide direct insured losses to property and that affect a significant number of policyholders and insurers (ISO catastrophe). In addition to ISO catastrophes, we also include as catastrophes those events (non-ISO catastrophes), which may include losses, that we believe are, or will be, material to our operations, either in amount or in number of claims made.
	Our program provides reinsurance protection for catastrophes including hurricanes, tropical storms, and tornadoes. These reinsurance agreements are part of our catastrophe management strategy, which is intended to provide our shareholders an acceptable return on the risks assumed in our property business, and to reduce variability of earnings, while providing protection to our policyholders.
	During the second quarter of 2014, we placed our reinsurance program for the 2014 treaty year beginning June 1, 2014 and ending on May 31, 2015. The agreements incorporate the mandatory coverage required by and placed with the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund (FHCF). The FHCF is a Florida State-sponsored trust fund that provides reimbursement in Florida against storms that the National Hurricane Center designates as hurricanes. The private agreements provide coverage against severe weather events such as hurricanes, tropical storms and tornadoes.
	For the 2014 hurricane season, we purchased catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance protection of $1,080,200,000 excess $25,000,000 providing sufficient protection for approximately a one-in-185 year hurricane event as calculated by our licensed modeling software, AIR model version 15, using long-term event rates excluding demand surge. For a single hurricane catastrophe, we will pay, or “retain”, up to $25,000,000. The catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance program provides 100% coverage for all losses in excess of $25,000,000 up to $1,080,200,000.
	Our agreement with the FHCF consists of a single layer of coverage, the mandatory layer. Under the agreement, we estimate the FHCF will provide approximately $555,200,000 of aggregate coverage for covered losses in excess of $230,800,000. The initial premium for the FHCF agreement is approximately $38,594,000.
	The 2014 private catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance agreements structure coverage into layers, with a cascading feature such that all layers attach at $25,000,000. If the aggregate limit of the preceding layer is exhausted, the next layer drops down (cascades) in its place. Additionally, any unused layer protection drops down for subsequent events until exhausted. The 2014 catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance agreements with unaffiliated private reinsurers provide $525,000,000 of aggregate coverage for covered losses in excess of $25,000,000. Additionally, we purchased a dedicated second event cover with recovery potential in subsequent events providing 100% coverage for losses of $15,000,000 excess $10,000,000, subject to an annual aggregate deductible of $15,000,000. The total cost of the 2014 private catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance program is $90,600,000. Certain parts of the reinsurance program provide coverage for two years. All private insurers with whom we contracted either carry A.M. Best financial strength ratings of A- or higher, or have fully collateralized their maximum potential obligations in dedicated trusts.
	On June 1, 2014, Family Security Insurance Company purchased catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance protection of $74,000,000 excess $1,000,000 providing sufficient protection for approximately a one-in-148 year hurricane event, which is in effect until May 31, 2015. Family Security Insurance Company purchased reinstatement premium protection which would provide an additional $34,000,000 of coverage. In addition, Family Security Insurance Company purchased a $5,000,000 aggregate second event cover in excess of $1,000,000 with a total cap of $1,500,000 of retained losses on the two events. The total cost of the 2014 private catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance program was $6,508,000.
	We amortize our prepaid reinsurance premiums over the annual agreement period, and we record that amortization in ceded premiums earned on our Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The table below summarizes the amounts of our ceded premiums written under the various types of agreements, as well as the amortization of prepaid reinsurance premiums:

	-1	Incurred loss and LAE is equal to losses and LAE paid plus the change in case and incurred but not reported reserves.
	-2	Reflects losses from Winter Storms in 2015.
	We collected cash recoveries under our reinsurance agreements totaling $811,000 and $417,000 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
	Effective January 1, 2015, we entered into two new reinsurance agreements, which will expire on December 31, 2015. The first reinsurance agreement provides excess-of-loss coverage for losses arising out of property business up to $3,000,000 in excess of $1,000,000 per risk. Should a loss recovery, or series of loss recoveries, exhaust the coverage provided under the agreement for losses arising out of property-only business, excluding named windstorms, two reinstatements of coverage are included at no additional premium, with a third reinstatement subject to additional premium. We also entered into a second property catastrophe excess-of-loss reinsurance agreement that provides coverage up to $25,000,000 in excess of $3,000,000. This agreement provides coverage for events during any period of 168 consecutive hours that are not named hurricanes or tropical storms. Should losses for one event exceed $25,000,000, our catastrophe reinsurance agreements would provide reinsurance for the remaining losses. Reinstatements of the second property catastrophe agreement are subject to an additional premium.
	We write flood insurance under an agreement with the National Flood Insurance Program. We cede 100% of the premiums written and the related risk of loss to the federal government. We earn commissions for the issuance of flood policies based upon a fixed percentage of net written premiums and the processing of flood claims based upon a fixed percentage of incurred losses, and we can earn additional commissions by meeting certain growth targets for the number of in-force policies. We recognized commission revenue from our flood program of $241,000 and $418,000 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Long-term Debt	LONG-TERM DEBT
	Our long-term debt at March 31, 2015 consisted of a note payable to the Florida State Board of Administration. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we owed $13,235,000 and $13,529,000, respectively, on the note and the interest rate was 2.20% and 2.50%, respectively. All other terms and conditions of the note remain as described in our 2014 Form 10-K.
	The $13,235,000 note payable to the Florida State Board of Administration (SBA note) requires United Property & Casualty Insurance Company to maintain surplus as regards policyholders at or above a calculated level, which was $31,690,000 at March 31, 2015. We monitor United Property & Casualty Insurance Company's surplus as regards policyholders each quarter and, for various reasons, we occasionally provide additional capital to United Property & Casualty Insurance Company. During the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we contributed no capital to our insurance affiliates. We currently do not foresee a need for any material contributions of capital to our insurance affiliates; however, any future contributions of capital will depend on circumstances at the time.
	Our SBA note requires that United Property & Casualty Insurance Company maintain either a 2:1 ratio of net written premium to surplus, or net writing ratio, or a 6:1 ratio of gross written premium to surplus, or gross writing ratio, to avoid additional interest penalties. The SBA note agreement defines surplus for the purpose of calculating the required ratios as the $20,000,000 of capital contributed to United Property & Casualty Insurance Company under the agreement plus the outstanding balance of the note. At March 31, 2015, United Property & Casualty Insurance Company's net written premium to surplus ratio was 5.9:1, which is well above the 2:1 required ratio. United Property & Casualty Insurance Company's gross written premium to surplus ratio was 9.7:1, which exceeds the required ratio of 6:1. Should United Property & Casualty Insurance Company fail to exceed either a net writing ratio of 1.5:1 or a gross writing ratio of 4.5:1, United Property & Casualty Insurance Company's interest rate will increase by 450 basis points above the 10-year Constant Maturity Treasury rate which was 1.94% at the end of March 2015. Any other writing ratio deficiencies result in an interest rate penalty of 25 basis points above the stated rate of the note, which is 2.20% at the end of March 2015. Our SBA note further provides that the SBA may, among other things, declare its loan immediately due and payable for all defaults existing under the SBA note; however, any payment is subject to approval by the insurance regulatory authority. At March 31, 2015, we were in compliance with the covenants of the SBA note.

Statutory Accounting and Regulation	3 Months Ended

Insurance [Abstract]
Statutory Accounting and Regulation	STATUTORY ACCOUNTING AND REGULATION
	The insurance industry is heavily regulated. State laws and regulations, as well as national regulatory agency requirements, govern the operations of all insurers such as our insurance affiliates. The various laws and regulations require that insurers maintain minimum amounts of statutory surplus and risk-based capital, they restrict insurers' ability to pay dividends, they specify allowable investment types and investment mixes, and they subject insurers to assessments. At March 31, 2015, and during the three months then ended, our insurance affiliates met all regulatory requirements of the states in which they operate, and they did not incur any material assessments.
	The National Association of Insurance Commissioners published Risk-Based Capital (RBC) guidelines for insurance companies that are designed to assess capital adequacy and to raise the level of protection that statutory surplus provides for policy holders. Most states, including Florida and Hawaii, have enacted statutory requirements adopting the NAIC RBC guidelines, and insurers having less statutory surplus than required will be subject to varying degrees of regulatory action, depending on the level of capital inadequacy. State insurance regulatory authorities could require an insurer to cease operations in the event the insurer fails to maintain the required statutory capital.
	The state laws of Florida and Hawaii permit an insurer to pay dividends or make distributions out of that part of statutory surplus derived from net operating profit and net realized capital gains. The state laws further provide calculations to determine the amount of dividends or distributions that can be made without the prior approval of the insurance regulatory authorities in those states and the amount of dividends or distributions that would require prior approval of the insurance regulatory authorities in those states. Statutory risk-based capital requirements may further restrict our insurance affiliates' ability to pay dividends or make distributions if the amount of the intended dividend or distribution would cause statutory surplus to fall below minimum risk-based capital requirements.
	The note payable to the SBA is considered a surplus note pursuant to statutory accounting principles. As a result, United Property & Casualty Insurance Company is subject to the authority of the Insurance Commissioner of the State of Florida with regard to its ability to repay principal and interest on the surplus note. Any payment of principal or interest requires permission from the insurance regulatory authority.
	We have reported our insurance subsidiaries' assets, liabilities and results of operations in accordance with GAAP, which varies from statutory accounting principles prescribed or permitted by state laws and regulations, as well as by general industry practices. The following items are principal differences between statutory accounting and GAAP:
	•	Statutory accounting requires that we exclude certain assets, called non-admitted assets, from the balance sheet.
	•	Statutory accounting requires us to expense policy acquisition costs when incurred, while GAAP allows us to defer to the extent realizable, and amortize policy acquisition costs over the estimated life of the policies.
	•	Statutory accounting requires that surplus notes, also known as surplus debentures, be recorded in statutory surplus, while GAAP requires us to record surplus notes as a liability.
	•	Statutory accounting allows certain investments to be carried at amortized cost or fair value based on the rating received from the Securities Valuation Office of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, while they are recorded at fair value for GAAP because the investments are held as available for sale.
	•	Statutory accounting allows ceding commission income to be recognized when written if the cost of acquiring and renewing the associated business exceeds the ceding commissions, but under GAAP such income is deferred and recognized over the coverage period.
	•	Statutory accounting requires that unearned premiums and loss reserves are presented net of related reinsurance rather than on a gross basis under GAAP.
	•	Statutory accounting requires a provision for reinsurance liability be established for reinsurance recoverable on paid losses aged over ninety days and for unsecured amounts recoverable from unauthorized reinsurers.  Under GAAP there is no charge for uncollateralized amounts ceded to a company not licensed in the insurance affiliate's domiciliary state and a reserve for uncollectable reinsurance is charged through earnings rather than surplus or equity.
	•	Statutory accounting requires an additional admissibility test outlined in Statements on Statutory Accounting Principles, No. 101 and the change in deferred income tax is reported directly in capital and surplus, rather than being reported as a component of income tax expense under GAAP.
	Our insurance affiliates must file with the various insurance regulatory authorities an “Annual Statement” which reports, among other items, net income (loss) and surplus as regards policyholders, which is called stockholder’s equity under GAAP. For the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, United Property & Casualty Insurance Company recorded statutory net loss of $(2,366,000) and statutory net income of $7,434,000, respectively. Family Security Insurance Company recorded statutory net income of $115,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015.
	Our insurance affiliates must maintain capital and surplus ratios or balances as determined by the regulatory authority of the states in which they are domiciled. United Property & Casualty Insurance Company is required to maintain capital and surplus equal to the greater of 10% of its total liabilities or $5,000,000. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, United Property & Casualty Insurance Company's surplus as regards policyholders was $123,873,000 and $126,249,000, respectively. Family Security Insurance Company is required to maintain capital and surplus of $3,250,000. At March 31, 2015, Family Security Insurance Company's surplus as regards policyholders was $8,124,000. Our reinsurance affiliate is required to maintain a minimum surplus of $200,000. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, our reinsurance affiliate's surplus as regards policyholders was $19,222,000 and $19,048,000, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation	STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
	We account for stock-based compensation under the fair value recognition provisions of ASC Topic 718 - “Compensation - Stock Compensation.”
	Stock-based compensation cost for restricted stock grants is measured based on the closing fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. We recognize stock-based compensation cost over the award’s requisite service period on a straight-line basis for time-based restricted stock grants.
	We granted 65,442 restricted common stock awards during the three-month period ended March 31, 2015, which had a weighted-average grant date fair value of $24.60 per share. We granted 38,156 shares of restricted stock during the three-month period ended March 31, 2014, which had a weighted-average grant date fair value of $15.24.
	The following table presents certain information related to the activity of our non-vested common stock grants:
		Number of Restricted Shares	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
	Outstanding as of December 31, 2014	153,383	$	10.91
	Granted	65,442	24.6
	Forfeited	3,342	15.25
	Vested	12,910	15.22
	Outstanding as of March 31, 2015	202,573	$	14.99
	We have approximately $2,105,000 of unrecognized stock compensation expense related to non-vested stock-based compensation granted, that we expect to recognize over the next three years. We recognized $125,000 and $45,000 of stock-based compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
	We had approximately $136,000 of unrecognized director stock-based compensation expense at March 31, 2015, related to non-vested director stock-based compensation granted, that we expect to recognize ratably until the 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. We recognized $341,000 of director stock-based compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2015 whereas we did not recognize any director stock-based compensation expense during same period last year.
