| (1) | In establishing property and casualty reserves, the Company initially reserves for losses at the higher end of the reasonable range if no other value within the range is determined to be more probable. Selection of such an initial loss estimate is an attempt by management to give recognition that initial claims information received generally is not conclusive with respect to legal liability, is generally not comprehensive with respect to magnitude of loss and generally, based on historical experience, will develop more adversely as time passes and more information becomes available. Accordingly, the Company generally experiences reserve redundancies when analyzing the development of prior year losses in a current period.
| (2) | Prior years’ development was primarily the result of favorable development in the loss and claim reserves for the Medicare supplement line of business in Bankers Fidelity.
Following is a reconciliation of total incurred losses to total insurance benefits and losses incurred:
|  | Three Months Ended March 31, |
|  | 2020 |  |  | 2019 |

Cash surrender value and matured endowments |  |  | 368 |  |  |  | 360 |
Benefit reserve changes |  |  | (187 | ) |  |  | 84 |
Total insurance benefits and losses incurred |  | $ | 33,583 |  |  | $ | 35,307 |
