A mortgage loan requires a specific allowance when it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. If the Company determines that the value of any specific mortgage loan requires an allowance, the carrying amount of the mortgage loan will be reduced to its fair value, based upon the present value of expected future cash flows from the loan discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or the fair value of the underlying collateral less estimated costs to sell. The Company had no The Company analyzes our commercial mortgage loan portfolio for the need of a general loan allowance for expected credit losses on all other loans on a quantitative and qualitative basis by grouping assets with similar risk characteristics when there is not a specific expectation of a loss for an individual loan. The amount of the general loan allowance is based upon management's evaluation of the collectability of the loan portfolio, historical loss experience, delinquencies, credit concentrations, underwriting standards and national and local economic conditions. The Company does not measure a credit loss allowance on accrued interest receivable as we write off any uncollectible accrued interest receivable balance to net investment income in a timely manner. The Company did not charge off any uncollectible accrued interest receivable on our commercial mortgage loan portfolio during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023. The Company's commercial mortgage loans are pooled by risk rating and property collateral type and an estimated loss ratio is applied against each risk pool. The loss ratios are generally based upon historical loss experience for each risk pool and are adjusted for current and forecasted economic factors management believes to be relevant and supportable. Economic factors are forecasted for two years with immediate reversion to historical experience. The following table presents a roll-forward of our specific and general valuation allowances for our commercial mortgage loan portfolio: Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 (unaudited) Individually Evaluated Allowance General Allowance Beginning allowance balance $ - $ 21,644 Cumulative adjustment for changes in accounting principals - - Charge-offs - - Recoveries - - Change in provision for credit losses - 32,150 Ending Allowance $ - $ 53,794 The individually evaluated allowance represents the total credit loss allowances on loans which are individually evaluated for allowance. The general allowance is for the group of loans discussed above which are collectively evaluated for impairment. The change in provision for credit losses is recorded in net investment gains (losses). Charge-offs include allowances that have been established on loans that were satisfied either by taking ownership of the collateral or by some other means such as discounted pay-off or loan sale. When ownership of the property is taken it is recorded at the lower of the loan's carrying value or the property's fair value (based on appraised values) less estimated costs to sell. The real estate owned is recorded as a component of other investments and the loan is recorded as fully paid, with any allowance for credit loss that has been established charged off. Fair value of the real estate is determined by third party appraisal. Recoveries are situations where the Company has received a payment from the borrower in an amount greater than the carrying value of the loan (principal outstanding less specific allowance). The Company did not own any real estate related to our mortgage participations during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The Company will record an "intent-to-sell impairment" as a reduction to the amortized cost of fixed maturities, available-for-sale (AFS) in an unrealized loss position if the Company intends to sell or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the fixed maturity before a recovery in value. A corresponding charge is recorded in net realized losses equal to the difference between the fair value on the impairment date and the amortized cost basis of the fixed maturity before recognizing the impairment. For fixed maturity securities where a credit loss has been identified and no intent-to-sell impairment has been recorded, the Company will record an allowance for credit loss ("ACL") for the portion of the unrealized loss related to a credit loss. Any remaining unrealized loss on a fixed maturity after recording an ACL is the non-credit amount is recorded in OCI. The ACL is the excess of the amortized cost over the greater of the Company's best estimate present value of the expected future cash flows or the security's fair value. Cash flows are discounted at the effective yield that is used to record interest income. The ACL cannot exceed the unrealized loss and, therefore, it may fluctuate with the changes in the fair value of the fixed maturity if the fair is greater than the Company's best estimate of the present value of expected future cash flows. The initial ACL and any subsequent changes are recorded in net realized gains and losses. The ACL is written off against amortized cost in the period in which all or a portion of the related fixed maturity is determined to be uncollectible. Developing the Company's best estimate of expected future cash flows is a quantitative and qualitative process that incorporates information received from third party sources along with certain internal assumptions regarding the future performance. The Company's considerations include a) changes in the financial condition of the issuer and/or the underlying collateral, (b) whether the issuer is current on contractually obligated interest and principal payments, (c) credit ratings, (d) payment structure of the security, and (e) the extent to which the fair value has been less than the amortized cost of the security. For non-structured securities, assumptions included, but are not limited to, economic and industry specific trends and fundamentals, instrument specific developments including changes in credit ratings, industry earnings multiples and the issuer's ability to restructure, access capital markets, and execute asset sales.
