Reconciliation of beginning and ending balance for assets and liabilities measured at fair value with significant unobservable inputs (level 3) | For assets measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 is shown in tables 8.2a and 8.2b below. As described in Note 2 - “New Accounting Pronouncements,” updated guidance regarding the Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities became effective on January 1, 2018, which requires that our investment in FHLB stock not be presented with equity securities. Prior to the updated guidance, our FHLB stock was included in our Level 3 equity securities. As shown in table 8.2a below, for the three months ended March 31, 2018, we have transferred our FHLB stock out of Level 3 assets, and they are carried at cost, which approximates fair value on our consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2018. The amount of FHLB stock is presented in “Other invested assets” as of March 31, 2018. There were no losses included in earnings for those periods attributable to the change in unrealized losses on assets still held at the end of the applicable period.

Carrying value and fair value of debt | Table 8.3 presents the carrying value and fair value of our financial liabilities disclosed, but not carried, at fair value at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The fair values of our 5.75% Notes and 9% Debentures were based on observable market prices. The fair value of the FHLB Advance was estimated using discounted cash flows on current incremental borrowing rates for similar borrowing arrangements. In all cases the fair values of the financial liabilities below are categorized as Level 2.
