In accordance with ASU No. 2014-08, Reporting of Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, a disposal is categorized as a discontinued operation if the disposal group is a component of an entity or group of components that meets the held for sale criteria, is disposed of by sale, or is disposed of other than by sale, and represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results.

Leased Real Estate was a component of Kingsway since its operations and cash flows can be clearly distinguished, both operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the rest of the reporting entity. A component of an entity may consist of multiple disposal groups and does not need to be disposed of in a single transaction. The disposal of the Leased Real Estate segment represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results, as the disposal of the Leased Real Estate assets was in excess of 20% of the entity's total assets. As a result, the assets, liabilities, operating results and cash flows related to Leased Real Estate have been classified as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.

During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company began executing a plan to sell its subsidiary, VA Lafayette. VA Lafayette owns the LA Real Property, that is subject to a long-term lease and the LA Mortgage. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company entered into a letter of intent for the sale of VA Lafayette. On August 16, 2024, the Company completed the sale of VA Lafayette to an entity associated with a current holder of the Company's Class B Preferred Stock (the sale occurred prior to negotiations regarding the issuance of the Class B Preferred Stock). Refer to Note 24, "Related Parties," for further disclosure. The purchase price paid by the purchaser at the closing consisted of $1.3 million in cash plus the assumption of the unpaid principal balance, as of the closing, of the LA Mortgage of approximately $11.8 million, netting cash proceeds of $1.1 million to Kingsway after expenses.

During the third quarter of 2024, the Company recognized a loss on disposal of $0.2 million, which is included in loss on disposal of discontinued operations, net of taxes in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024. As part of recognizing the business as held for sale, the Company was required to measure VA Lafayette at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. As a result of this analysis, during the first quarter of 2024 and the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company recognized an estimated non-cash, loss on disposal of $0.4 million and $2.0 million, respectively, which is included in loss on disposal of discontinued operations, net of taxes in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The losses are a result of adjusting the net carrying value of VA Lafayette to be equal to the estimated selling price and were determined by comparing the expected cash consideration received for the sale of VA Lafayette with the net assets of VA Lafayette.
