Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Text Block] | NOTE 10 DERIVATIVES
(a) | Interest rate swap
On April 1, 2021, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with CIBC Bank USA to convert the variable London interbank offered interest rate for three-month U.S. dollar deposits ("LIBOR") interest rate on a portion of its 2020 KWH Loan (as defined below in Note 11, "Debt,") to a fixed interest rate of 1.18%. On September 15, 2022, the interest rate swap agreement was amended to convert from a variable Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") to a fixed interest rate of 1.103%. The interest rate swap had an initial notional amount of $11.9 million and matures on February 29, 2024. The purpose of this interest rate swap, which is not designated as a cash flow hedge, is to reduce the Company's exposure to variability in cash flows from interest payments attributable to fluctuations in the variable interest rate associated with the 2020 KWH Loan. The Company has not elected hedge accounting for the interest rate swap. The interest rate swap is recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. The notional amount of the interest rate swap contract is $7.3 million at September 30, 2023. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of the interest rate swap contract was an asset of $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, which is included in other receivables in the consolidated balance sheets. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized a loss of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively (a gain of $0.1 million and $0.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively), related to the change in fair value of the interest rate swap, which is included in interest expense in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations and within cash flows from operating activities in the unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows. Net cash receipts of $0.1 million and $0.2 million were made to the Company during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively (net cash receipts of less than $0.1 million during each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022), to settle a portion of the liabilities related to the interest rate swap agreement. These net cash receipts are reflected as cash inflows or outflows in the unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows within net cash (used in) provided by operating activities.
(b) | Trust preferred debt repurchase options
On August 2, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with a holder of four of the trust preferred debt instruments ("TruPs") that gave the Company the option to repurchase up to 100% of the holder’s principal and deferred interest for a purchase price equal to 63.75% of the outstanding principal and deferred interest ( "August Option"). Originally, the agreement called for a repurchase at 63%, which escalated to 63.75% once the September 26, 2022 agreement (described below) was signed. The Company agreed that any repurchase made would be for no less than 50% of the TruPs held by the holder. Until the earlier of (i) the date that all four of the preferred debt instruments have been repurchased and (ii) the nine month anniversary of the agreement ( "May Termination Date"), all interest on the four preferred debt instruments continued to accrue. However, with respect to TruPs that were repurchased prior to the May Termination Date, the amount of interest accrued during the term of the agreement was treated as an offset and reduced the repurchase price for such TruPs. The Company had no obligation to pay any such accrued interest with respect to any of the TruPs that were repurchased prior to the May Termination Date. The Company paid approximately $2.0 million to the holder for this option and the Company had until the May Termination Date to execute the repurchases. Given the Company repurchased an amount equal to or greater than $30.0 million, the $2.0 million paid was applied to the repurchases.
KINGSWAY FINANCIAL SERVICES INC. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) September 30, 2023
On September 20, 2022, the Company entered into an additional agreement with the same party to the August 2, 2022 agreement that gave the Company the option to repurchase up to 100% of the holder’s principal and deferred interest for 63.75% of the outstanding principal and deferred interest relating to a portion of a fifth TruPs held ( "September 20 Option"). The September 20, 2022 agreement was subject to the same terms and conditions as the August 2, 2022 agreement and no additional consideration was paid. On September 26, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with a holder of a portion of one of the TruPs that gave the Company the option to repurchase up to 100% of the holder’s principal and deferred interest for a purchase price equal to 63% of the outstanding principal and deferred interest ( "September 26 Option"). Until the earlier of (i) the date that all of the preferred debt instrument has been repurchased and (ii) the May Termination Date, all interest on the preferred debt instrument continued to accrue. However, with respect to TruPs that were repurchased prior to the May Termination Date, the amount of interest accrued during the term of the agreement was treated as an offset and reduce the repurchase price for such TruPs. The Company had no obligation to pay any such accrued interest with respect to the TruPs that were repurchased prior to the May Termination Date. The Company paid approximately $0.3 million to the holder for this option and the Company had until the May Termination Date to execute the repurchase. Given the Company repurchased the TruPs, the $0.3 million paid was applied to the repurchases. In February 2023, the Company entered into amendments to the repurchase agreements described above that gave the Company an additional discount on the total repurchase price if the Company effected a 100% repurchase on or before March 15, 2023. On March 2, 2023, the Company gave notice to the holders of its intent to exercise its options to repurchase 100% of the principal. On March 22, 2023, the Company completed the repurchases. See Note 11, "Debt," for further discussion. The August Option, September 20 Option and September 26 Options (collectively "the TruPs Options") are derivative contracts. The Company's accounting policies do not apply hedge accounting treatment to derivative instruments. The TruPs options are recorded in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2022 at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations. See Note 21, "Fair Value of Financial Instruments," for further discussion. At December 31, 2022, the fair value of the TruPs Options contracts was $19.0 million, which is included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized a loss on change in fair value of the TruPs Options contracts of $1.4 million,which is included in loss on change in fair value of derivative asset option contracts in the unaudited consolidated statement of operations and as an adjustment to calculate cash flows (used in) provided by operating activities in the unaudited consolidated statement of cash flows. Cash payments of $56.5 million were made to repurchase the TruPs during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 with respect to the TruPs Options contracts.
