Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]	Note 3. Fair Value Measurements The fair value of an asset or liability is the price that would be received to sell that asset or paid to transfer that liability in an orderly transaction occurring in the principal market (or most advantageous market in the absence of a principal market) for such asset or liability. In estimating fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. Such valuation techniques are consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques include the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The Company uses a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows: ● Level 1 ● Level 2 1 ● Level 3 Investments, available for sale third third The following table presents the amounts of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2019 December 31, 2018: September 30, 2019 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 (unaudited) Available for sale: Fixed maturities: US Treasury securities $ 630,316 $ 630,316 $ - $ - Corporate bonds 19,374,479 - 19,182,879 191,600 Municipal bonds 7,286,559 - 7,286,559 - Redeemable preferred stock 106,920 - 106,920 - Mortgage backed and asset backed securities 3,724,209 - 3,724,209 - Total fixed maturities 31,122,483 630,316 30,300,567 191,600 Equities: Equities 11,851,019 11,851,019 - - Total $ 42,973,502 $ 12,481,335 $ 30,300,567 $ 191,600 December 31, 2018 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Available for sale: Fixed maturities: US Treasury securities $ 569,940 $ 569,940 $ - $ - Corporate bonds 15,842,361 - 15,642,361 200,000 Municipal bonds 6,598,113 - 6,598,113 - Redeemable preferred stock 90,840 - 90,840 - Mortgage backed and asset backed securities 3,780,985 - 3,780,985 - Total fixed maturities 26,882,239 569,940 26,112,299 200,000 Equities: Equities 10,987,539 10,987,539 - - Total $ 37,869,778 $ 11,557,479 $ 26,112,299 $ 200,000 The Company discloses the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not Cash and cash equivalents Investment income due and accrued Policy loans Policyholder deposits in deposit-type contracts The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities at September 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 September 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 (unaudited) Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value Financial Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 5,145,539 $ 5,145,539 $ 2,077,646 $ 2,077,646 Investment income due and accrued 306,343 306,343 286,890 286,890 Policy loans 68,774 68,774 56,539 56,539 Total Financial Assets (excluding available for sale investments) $ 5,520,656 $ 5,520,656 $ 2,421,075 $ 2,421,075 Financial Liabilities: Policyholder deposits in deposit-type contracts $ 18,720,202 $ 18,540,934 $ 16,626,218 $ 15,361,164 Total Financial Liabilities $ 18,720,202 $ 18,540,934 $ 16,626,218 $ 15,361,164
