As of September 30, 2014, the Company held $9,942,489 in fixed maturity securities with unrealized losses of $122,344. As of December 31, 2013, the Company held $21,150,675 in fixed maturity securities with unrealized losses of $497,607. The decline in fair value of the fixed maturity securities can be attributed primarily to changes in market interest rates and changes in credit spreads over Treasury securities. Because the Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and will likely not be compelled to sell them before it can recover its cost basis, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired. As of September 30, 2014, the Company held $1,434,043 in equity securities with unrealized losses of $129,996. As of December 31, 2013, the Company held $2,280,900 in equity securities with unrealized losses of $109,084. The unrealized losses related to holdings of equity securities were caused by market changes that the Company considers to be temporary. Since the Company has the intent and ability to hold these equity securities until a recovery of fair value, the Company does not consider these investments other-than-temporarily impaired. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is temporary include the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below cost, the financial condition and prospects of the issuer (including credit ratings and analyst reports) and macro-economic changes. A total of 21 and 26 securities had unrealized losses at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Reviews of the values of securities are inherently uncertain and the value of the investment may not fully recover, or may decline in future periods resulting in a realized loss. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded no other-than-temporary impairment charges for securities. For the 2013 fiscal year, the Company recorded no other-than-temporary impairment charges for securities. Other-than-temporary impairment charges are included in net realized gain on investments in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
