Supplemental Financial Statement Information Supplemental Financial Statement Information
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

We consider all investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at fair value. We also invest in marketable securities that are measured and recorded at fair value. See Note 4Fair Value Measurements for further discussion about our marketable securities.
Our cash, cash equivalent and restricted cash balances are summarized as follows (in thousands):
September 30, 2021December 31, 2020
Cash$37,765 $39,552 
Cash equivalents119,765 4,207 
Cash and cash equivalents157,530 43,759 
Restricted cash3,354 3,354 
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash$160,884 $47,113 

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had $3.4 million of restricted cash which was classified as a non-current asset on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. This amount collateralizes letters of credit related to certain lease commitments.

Contract Assets and Accounts Receivable

We do not require collateral or other security for our contract assets and accounts receivable. We believe the potential for collection issues with any of our customers was minimal as of September 30, 2021.

We estimate an allowance for credit losses using relevant available information from internal and external sources, related to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Specifically, for the purpose of measuring the probability of default parameters, we utilize Capital IQ’s, Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s analytics. Our estimates of loss given default are determined by using our historical collections data as well as historical information obtained through our research and review of other insurance related companies. Our estimated exposure at default is determined by applying these internal and external data sources to our commission receivable balances. As such, we apply an immediate reversion method and revert to historical loss information when computing our credit loss exposure. Credit loss expenses are assessed quarterly and included in general and administrative expense on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Loss. There were no write-offs during any of the three or nine month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

We considered the impact of recent events and global economic conditions when evaluating the appropriate adjustments to our allowance for credit losses as of September 30, 2021. We also considered the current and expected future economic and market conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.

The change in the allowance for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is summarized as follows (in thousands):

(1)Commission revenue from renewals of small business members during the period was previously included in net commission revenue from members approved in prior periods. However, starting in the first quarter of 2021, we enhanced our reporting by separately disclosing commission revenue from renewals of small business members during the period in a separate line item.

Credit Risk

Our financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk principally consist of cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, contract assets – commissions receivable, and accounts receivable. We invest our cash and cash equivalents with major banks and financial institutions and such investments are in excess of federally insured limits. We also have deposits with major banks in China that are denominated in both U.S. dollars and Chinese Yuan Renminbi and are not insured by the U.S. federal government. The deposits in China were $3.8 million as of September 30, 2021. See Note 4Fair Value Measurements for more information regarding our marketable securities.
