Total	$	106,913,377	$	102,388,682

Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities due to the exercise of call or prepayment options.

By insurance statute, the majority of the Company’s investment portfolio is invested in investment grade securities to provide ample protection for policyholders.

Below investment grade debt securities generally provide higher yields and involve greater risks than investment grade debt securities because their issuers typically are more highly leveraged and more vulnerable to adverse economic conditions than investment grade issuers. In addition, the trading market for these securities is usually more limited than for investment grade debt securities. Debt securities classified as below-investment grade are those that receive a Standard & Poor’s rating of BB+ or below.

The Company held below investment grade investments with an estimated market value of $0 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

The following tables present the estimated fair value and gross unrealized losses of fixed maturity securities in an unrealized loss position:

Allowance for Credit Loss - Available for Sale Securities

Management considers a wide range of factors about the security issuer and uses its best judgment in evaluating the cause of the decline in the estimated fair value of the security and in assessing the prospects for near-term recovery. Inherent in management’s evaluation of the security are assumptions and estimates about the operations of the issuer and its future earnings potential. Considerations used in the credit loss evaluation process include, but are not limited to: (1) the extent to which the estimated fair value has been below amortized cost, (2) adverse conditions specifically related to a security, an industry sector, adverse change in the financial condition of the issuer of the security, (3) payment structure of the security and likelihood of the issuer being able to make payments, (4) failure of the issuer to make scheduled interest and principal payments, (5) whether the issuer, or series of issuers or an industry has suffered a catastrophic loss or has exhausted natural resources, (6) whether the Company has the intent to sell or will more likely than not be required to sell a particular security before the decline in estimated fair value below amortized cost recovers, (7) changes in the rating of the security by a rating agency, and (8) other subjective factors.

Substantially all of the unrealized losses on fixed maturity securities at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are attributable to changes in market interest rates and general disruptions in the credit market subsequent to purchase. At September 30, 2024, the Company did not intend to sell its securities in an unrealized loss position, and it was not more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell these securities before the anticipated recovery of the remaining amortized cost. Therefore, the Company concluded that these securities had not incurred a credit loss and should not have an allowance for credit loss at September 30, 2024.

Future provisions for credit loss will depend primarily on economic fundamentals, issuer performance, and changes in credit ratings.

Net unrealized losses included in other comprehensive income (loss) for investments classified as available-for-sale, net of the effect of deferred income taxes, assuming that the depreciation had been realized as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

	September 30, 2024			December 31, 2023
Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on available-for-sale securities	$	(4,524,695	)	$	(6,180,148	)
Deferred income taxes		950,186			1,297,831
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on available-for-sale securities	$	(3,574,509	)	$	(4,882,317	)

Cost Method Equity Investments

The Company held equity investments with an aggregate cost of $16,733,309 and $15,977,368 at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. These equity investments were not reported at fair value because it is not practicable to estimate their fair values due to insufficient information being available. Management reviews and considers events or changes in circumstances that might have a significant adverse effect on the reported value of those investments. Management did not identify any events or changes in circumstances that might have a significant adverse effect on the reported value of those investments.

Mortgage Loans

The Company, from time to time, acquires mortgage loans through participation agreements with FSNB. FSNB has been able to provide the Company with additional expertise and experience in underwriting commercial and residential mortgage loans, which provide more attractive yields than the traditional bond market. The Company is able to receive participations from FSNB for three primary reasons: 1) FSNB has already reached its maximum lending limit to a single borrower, but the borrower is still considered a suitable risk; 2) the interest rate on a particular loan may be fixed for a long period that is more suitable for UG given its asset-liability structure; and 3) FSNB’s loan growth might at times outpace its deposit growth, resulting in FSNB participating such excess loan growth rather than turning customers away. For originated loans, the Company’s Management is responsible for the final approval of such loans after evaluation. Before a new loan is issued, the applicant is subject to certain criteria set forth by Company Management to ensure quality control. These criteria include, but are not limited to, a credit report, personal financial information such as outstanding debt, sources of income, and personal equity. Once the loan is approved, the Company directly funds the loan to the borrower. The Company bears all risk of loss associated with the terms of the mortgage with the borrower.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company acquired $5,301,867 and $2,050,124 in mortgage loans, respectively. FSNB services the majority of the Company’s mortgage loan portfolio. The Company pays FSNB a 0.25% servicing fee on these loans and a one-time fee at loan origination of 0.50% of the original loan cost to cover costs incurred by FSNB relating to the processing and establishment of the loan.

During 2024 and 2023, the maximum and minimum lending rates for mortgage loans were:

	2024						2023
	Maximum rate			Minimum rate			Maximum rate			Minimum rate
Farm Loans		5.00	%		5.00	%		5.00	%		5.00	%
Commercial Loans		10.00	%		4.00	%		8.75	%		4.00	%
Residential Loans		5.00	%		4.15	%		5.00	%		4.15	%

Most mortgage loans are first position loans. Loans issued are generally limited to no more than 80% of the appraised value of the property.

The Company has in place a monitoring system to provide Management with information regarding potential troubled loans. Letters are sent to each mortgagee when the loan becomes 30 days or more delinquent. Management is provided with a monthly listing of loans that are 60 days or more past due. All loans 90 days or more past due are placed on a non-performing status and classified as delinquent loans. Quarterly, coinciding with external financial reporting, the Company reviews each delinquent loan and determines how each delinquent loan should be classified. Management believes the current internal controls surrounding the mortgage loan selection process provide a quality portfolio with minimal risk of foreclosure and/or negative financial impact.

Changes in the current economy could have a negative impact on the loans, including the financial stability of the borrowers, the borrowers’ ability to pay or to refinance, the value of the property held as collateral and the ability to find purchasers at favorable prices. Interest accruals are analyzed based on the likelihood of repayment. In no event will interest continue to accrue when accrued interest along with the outstanding principal exceeds the net realizable value of the property. The Company does not utilize a specified number of days delinquent to cause an automatic non-accrual status.

The following table summarizes the mortgage loan holdings of the Company:

	September 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
In good standing	$	18,233,549	$	15,318,176
Total mortgage loans	$	18,233,549	$	15,318,176

The following is a summary of the mortgage loans outstanding and the related allowance for credit losses:

	September 30, 2024			December 31, 2023
Farm	$	326,385		$	332,417
Commercial		16,716,671			13,764,209
Residential		1,455,493			1,495,550

Less allowance for credit losses		(265,000	)		(274,000	)
Total mortgage loans, net	$	18,233,549		$	15,318,176

There were no past due loans as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Notes Receivable

Notes receivable represent collateral loans and promissory notes issued by the Company and are reported at their unpaid principal balances, adjusted for valuation allowances. Interest accruals are analyzed based on the likelihood of repayment. The Company does not utilize a specified number of days delinquent to cause an automatic non-accrual status. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 the Company acquired $800,000 and $3,579,241 of notes receivable, respectively.

Before a new note is issued, the applicant is subject to certain criteria set forth by Company Management to ensure quality control. Once the note is approved, the Company directly funds the note to the borrower. Several of the notes have participation agreements in place, whereas the Company has reduced its investment in the note receivable by participating a portion of the note to a third party.

Similar to the mortgage loans, FSNB services the notes receivable. The Company, and the participants in the notes, share in the risk of loss associated with the terms of the note with the borrower, based upon their ownership percentage in the note. The Company has in place a monitoring system to provide Management with information regarding potential troubled loans.

The following is a summary of the notes receivable outstanding and the related allowance for credit losses:

	September 30, 2024			December 31, 2023
Notes receivable	$	13,955,866		$	14,259,225
Less allowance for credit losses		(209,000	)		(250,000	)
Total notes receivable, net	$	13,746,866		$	14,009,225

Allowance for Credit Loss - Loans

The allowance for credit loss ("ACL") is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans' amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loans are charged off against the allowance when Management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off.

The allowance for credit losses represents Management's estimate of lifetime credit losses inherent in loans as of the balance sheet date. The allowance for credit losses is estimated by Management using relevant available information, from both internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

The Company measures expected credit losses for loans on a pooled basis when similar risk characteristics exist. The Company has identified the following portfolio segments - mortgage loans on real estate and notes receivable.

The allowance for credit losses calculation includes subjective adjustments for qualitative risk factors that are likely to cause estimated credit losses to differ from historical experience. These qualitative adjustments may increase or reduce reserve levels and include adjustments for risk tolerance, loan review and audit results, asset quality and portfolio trends, industry concentrations, external factors and economic conditions.

Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. When Management determines that foreclosure is probable and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, the expected credit losses are based on the fair value of collateral at the reporting date unadjusted for selling costs as appropriate.

Allowance for Credit Loss - Unfunded Commitments

Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit issued to meet customer financing needs. The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for off-balance sheet loan commitments is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.

The Company records an allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures, unless the commitments to extend credit are unconditionally cancelable, through a charge to provision for unfunded commitments in the Company's income statements. The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is estimated by loan segment at each balance sheet date under the current expected credit loss model using the same methodologies as portfolio loans, taking into consideration the likelihood that funding will occur as well a any third-party guarantees. The allowance for unfunded commitments as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $41,000 and $51,000, respectively, and is included in other liabilities on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Allowance for Credit Loss - Accrued Interest

Accrued interest is not included in the ACL and if deemed uncollectible, it is charged against interest income when determined to be uncollectible.

Investment Real Estate

Real estate held-for-investment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis for financial reporting purposes using estimated useful lives of 3 to 30 years. The Company periodically reviews its real estate held-for-investment for impairment and tests for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, no impairments were recognized on the investment real estate.

Note 4 - Fair Value Measurements of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements provides further information regarding the fair value of financial instruments that are not measured at fair value. The investment real estate owned by the Company is included in this portion of the Note 4 - Fair Value Measurements disclosure.

The following table provides an allocation of the Company’s investment real estate by type:

	September 30, 2024		December 31, 2023

Land, minerals and royalty interests		4,410,485		7,383,844
Total investment real estate	$	29,113,167	$	21,975,120

The Company’s investment real estate portfolio includes ownership in oil and gas royalties. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, investments in oil and gas royalties represented 21% and 34%, respectively, of the total investment real estate portfolio. See Note 9 – Concentrations of Credit Risk of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the allocation of the oil and gas investment real estate holdings by industry type.

Gains and losses recognized on the disposition of the properties are recorded as realized gains and losses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company acquired $11,603,519 and $4,115,151 of investment real estate, respectively.

Short-Term Investments

Short-term investments have remaining maturities exceeding three months and under 12 months at the time of purchase and are stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The short-term investments consist of United States Treasury securities.

During 2024 and 2023, the Company acquired $950,925 and $29,300,034, respectively, in short-term investments.

Note 4 – Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are measured and classified in accordance with a fair value hierarchy consisting of three levels based on the observability of valuation inputs:

Level 1 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 – Valuation methodologies include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or the Company may use various valuation techniques or pricing models that use observable inputs to measure fair value.

Level 3 – Valuation is based upon unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The following table presents information about assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicates the level of the fair value measurement based on the observability of the inputs used:

At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the estimated fair value of such investments was $79,074,514 and $54,989,319, respectively. These investments are generally not readily redeemable by the investee.

The following is a description of the valuation techniques used the by Company to measure assets reported at fair value on a recurring basis. There have been no significant changes in the valuation techniques utilized by the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Securities classified as available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Securities classified as Level 1 utilized fair value measurements based upon quoted market prices, when available. If quoted market prices are not available, the Company obtains fair value measurements from recently executed transactions, market price quotations, benchmark yields and issuer spreads to value Level 2 securities. In certain instances where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy. Fair value determinations for Level 3 measurements are estimated on a quarterly basis where assumptions used are reviewed to ensure the estimated fair value complies with accounting standards generally accepted in the United States.

Equity Securities at Fair Value

Equity securities consist of common and preferred stocks and limited liability companies mainly in private equity investments, financial institutions and publicly traded corporations. Equity securities for which there is sufficient market data are categorized as Level 1 or 2 in the fair value hierarchy. For the equity securities in which quoted market prices are not available, the Company uses industry standard pricing methodologies, including discounted cash flow models that may incorporate various inputs such as payment expectations, risk of the investment, market data, and health of the underlying company. The inputs are based upon Management’s assumptions and available market information. When evidence is believed to support a change to the carrying value from the transaction price, adjustments are made to reflect the expected cash flows, material events and market data. These investments are included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Change in Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The following table presents the changes in Level 3 equity securities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, and the realized and unrealized gains (losses) related to the Level 3 equity securities.

			Investments in
	Investments in Common Stocks		Limited Liability Companies		Total
Balance at December 31, 2023	$	2,807,634	$	57,604,806	$	60,412,440
Realized gains (losses)		0		0		0
Unrealized gains (losses)		174,317		21,218,789		21,393,106
Purchases		0		1,657,503		1,657,503
Sales		0		0		0
Balance at September 30, 2024	$	2,981,951	$	80,481,098	$	83,463,049

Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair values of positions classified in Level 3 in the table above. As a result, the unrealized gains (losses) on instruments held at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable and unobservable inputs.

Assets and liabilities are transferred into Level 3 when a significant input cannot be corroborated with market observable data. This occurs when market activity decreases significantly and underlying inputs cannot be observed, current prices are not available, and/or when there are significant variances in quoted prices, thereby affecting transparency. Assets and liabilities are transferred out of Level 3 when circumstances change such that a significant input can be corroborated with market observable data. This may be due to a significant increase in market activity, a specific event, or one or more significant input(s) becoming observable.

Quantitative Information About Level 3 Fair Value Measurements

The following table presents information about the significant unobservable inputs used for recurring fair value measurements for certain Level 3 instruments and includes only those instruments for which information about the inputs is reasonably available to the Company, such as data from independent third-party valuation service providers and from internal valuation models.

Financial Assets	Fair Value at September 30, 2024		Fair Value at December 31, 2023		Valuation Technique
Common stocks	$	2,981,951	$	2,807,634	Pricing Model
Limited liability companies		80,481,098		57,604,806	Pricing Model
Total	$	83,463,049	$	60,412,440

Uncertainty of Fair Value Measurements

The significant unobservable inputs used in the determination of the fair value of assets classified as Level 3 have an inherent measurement uncertainty that if changed could result in higher or lower fair value measurements of these assets as of the reporting date.

Equity Securities at Fair Value

Fair market value for equity securities is derived based on unobservable inputs, such as projected normalized revenues and industry standard multiples of revenue for the equity securities valued using pricing model. Significant increases (decreases) in either of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.

Investments in Certain Entities Carried at Fair Value Using Net Asset Value per Share

The Company holds certain equity securities that are measured at estimated fair value using the NAV per share practical expedient. These investments are generally not readily redeemable by the investee. The following tables provide additional information regarding the assets carried at NAV.

Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain assets are not carried at fair value on a recurring basis.

The above estimated fair value amounts have been determined based upon the following valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment was required to interpret market data in order to develop these estimates. Accordingly, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts which could be realized in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the fair value amounts.

Held to maturity redeemable preferred stock is carried at cost, which approximates fair value.

Certain equity securities are reported at their cost basis, minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. It is not practicable to estimate their fair values due to insufficient information being available.

The fair values of mortgage loans on real estate are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses and interest rates being offered for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings. The inputs used to measure the fair value of our mortgage loans on real estate are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

The fair values of notes receivable are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses and interest rates being offered for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings. The inputs used to measure the fair value of the notes receivable are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

Investment real estate is recorded at the lower of the net investment in the real estate or the fair value of the real estate less costs to sell. The determination of fair value assessments are performed on a periodic, non-recurring basis by external appraisal and assessment of property values by Management. The inputs used to measure the fair value of our investment real estate are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

Policy loans are carried at the aggregate unpaid principal balances in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets which approximate fair value, and earn interest at rates ranging from 4% to 8%. Individual policy liabilities in all cases equal or exceed outstanding policy loan balances. The inputs used to measure the fair value of our policy loans are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

The carrying value of accrued investment income approximates its fair value.

The carrying amounts reported for policy claims and benefits payable approximates fair value.

The carrying value for dividend and endowment accumulations approximates fair value.

The carrying value for notes payable is a reasonable estimate of fair value subject to floating rates of interest. The fair value of notes payable with fixed rate borrowings is determined based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and average maturities. The inputs used to measure the fair value of notes payable are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Note 5 – Credit Arrangements

Instrument	Issue Date	Maturity Date	Revolving Credit Limit		December 31, 2023		Borrowings	Repayments	September 30, 2024
Lines of Credit:
UTG	11/20/2013	11/20/2024	$	8,000,000		0	0	0	$	0
UG - CMA	10/21/2021	10/3/2025		25,000,000		19,000,000	0	19,000,000		0

UTG has a variable rate revolving line of credit. As collateral, UTG has pledged 100% of the common voting stock of its wholly owned subsidiary, Universal Guaranty Life Insurance Company.

During October of 2023, the Federal Home Loan Bank approved UG’s Cash Management Advance Application (“CMA”). The CMA gives the Company the option of selecting a variable rate of interest for up to 90 days or a fixed rate for a maximum of 30 days. The variable rate CMA is prepayable at any time without a fee, while the fixed CMA is not prepayable prior to maturity. The Company has pledged bonds with a collateral lendable value of $20,248,551. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company repaid the entire outstanding principal balance.

Note 6 – Shareholders’ Equity

Stock Repurchase Program – The Board of Directors of UTG has authorized the repurchase in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions of UTG’s common stock. The Board of Directors of UTG authorized the repurchase of up to $22 million of UTG’s common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Company Management has broad authority to operate the program, including the discretion of whether to purchase shares and the ability to suspend or terminate the program. Open market purchases are made based on the last available market price but may be limited. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 11,154 shares through the stock repurchase program for $326,731. Through September 30, 2024, UTG has spent $20,518,135 in the acquisition of 1,368,013 shares under this program. Effective November 1, 2024, Management has suspended the stock repurchase program.

During 2024, the Company issued 11,867 shares of stock to management and employees as compensation at a cost of $349,312. These awards are determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

Earnings Per Share Calculations

Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, diluted earnings per share were the same as basic earnings per share since the Company had no dilutive instruments outstanding.

Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies

The insurance industry has experienced a number of civil jury verdicts which have been returned against life and health insurers in the jurisdictions in which the Company does business involving the insurers’ sales practices, alleged agent misconduct, failure to properly supervise agents, and other matters. Some of the lawsuits have resulted in the award of substantial judgments against the insurer, including material amounts of punitive damages. In some states, juries have substantial discretion in awarding punitive damages in these circumstances. In the normal course of business, the Company is involved from time to time in various legal actions and other state and federal proceedings. Management is of the opinion that the ultimate disposition of the matters will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

Under the insurance guaranty fund laws in most states, insurance companies doing business in a participating state can be assessed up to prescribed limits for policyholder losses incurred by insolvent or failed insurance companies. Although the Company cannot predict the amount of any future assessments, most insurance guaranty fund laws currently provide that an assessment may be excused or deferred if it would threaten an insurer’s financial strength. Mandatory assessments may be partially recovered through a reduction in future premium tax in some states. The Company does not believe such assessments will be materially different from amounts already provided for in the consolidated financial statements, though the Company has no control over such assessments.

Mortgage Loan Commitments - The Company commits to lend funds under mortgage loan commitments. The amounts of these mortgage loan commitments were $788,900 and $878,132 at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Notes Receivable Commitments - The Company commits to lend funds under notes receivable funding commitments. The amounts of these notes receivable commitments were $2,000,000 and $2,800,000 at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Commitments to Fund Limited Liability Company and Limited Partnership Investments - The Company commits to fund investments in limited liability companies and limited partnership. The amounts of the unfunded commitments were $11,331,603 and $16,153,903 at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Note 8 – Other Cash Flow Disclosures

On a cash basis, the Company paid the following expenses:

	Three Months Ended
	September 30,
	2024			2023
Interest		$	0		$	0
Federal income tax			0			740,000

	Nine Months Ended

	2024			2023
Interest		$	23,169		$	44,814
Federal income tax			70,000			5,800,000

Note 9 – Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company maintains cash balances in financial institutions that at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company maintains its primary operating cash accounts with First Southern National Bank, an affiliate of the largest shareholder of UTG, Mr. Jesse Correll, the Company’s CEO and Chairman. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

Because UTG serves primarily individuals located in three states, the ability of the Company's customers to pay their insurance premiums is impacted by the economic conditions in these areas. As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, approximately 52% and 51%, respectively, of the Company’s total direct premium was collected from Illinois, Ohio, and Texas. Thus, results of operations are heavily dependent upon the strength of these economies.

The Company reinsures that portion of insurance risk which is in excess of its retention limits. Retention limits range up to $125,000 per life. Life insurance ceded represented 21% and 20% of total life insurance in force at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Insurance ceded represented 32% and 34% of premium income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company would be liable for the reinsured risks ceded to other companies to the extent that such reinsuring companies are unable to meet their obligations.

The Company owns a variety of investments associated with the oil and gas industry. These investments represent approximately 33% and 28% of the Company’s total invested assets as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The following table provides an allocation of the oil and gas investments by type.

At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company owned 4 equity securities that represented approximately 79% and 73%, respectively, of the total investments associated with the oil and gas industry.

The Company’s results of operations and financial condition have in the past been, and may in the future be, adversely affected by the degree of certain industry specific concentrations in the Company’s investment portfolio. The Company has significant exposure to investments associated with the oil and gas industry. Events or developments that have a negative effect on the oil and gas industry may adversely affect the valuation of our investments in this specific industry. The Company’s ability to sell its investments associated with the oil and gas industry may be limited.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

UTG, Inc., a Delaware corporation, is a life insurance holding company. The Company’s dominant business is individual life insurance, which includes the servicing of existing insurance policies in-force, the acquisition of other companies in the life insurance business, the acquisition of blocks of business and the administration and processing of life insurance business for other entities.

UTG has a strong philanthropic program. The Company generally allocates a portion of its earnings to be used for its philanthropic efforts primarily targeted to Christ-centered organizations or organizations that help the weak or poor. The Company also encourages its staff to be involved on a personal level through monetary giving, volunteerism and use of their talents to assist those less fortunate than themselves. Through these efforts, the Company hopes to make a positive difference in the local community, state, nation and world.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The Company has identified certain estimates that involve a higher degree of judgment and are subject to a significant degree of variability. The Company's critical accounting policies and the related estimates considered most significant by Management are disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Management has identified the accounting policies related to cost of insurance acquired, assumptions and judgments utilized in determining whether any decline in value is the result of a credit loss or other factors, and valuation methods for investments that are not actively traded as those, due to the judgments, estimates and assumptions inherent in those policies, are critical to an understanding of the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and this Management's Discussion and Analysis.

During the nine-months ended September 30, 2024, there were no additions to or changes in the critical accounting policies disclosed in the 2023 Form 10-K.

Results of Operations

On a consolidated basis, the Company reported net income attributable to common shareholders of approximately $41.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, and net income attributable to common shareholders of approximately $26.3 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024.

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, the Company reported a net loss attributable to common shareholders of approximately $(1.7) million, and net income attributable to common shareholders of approximately $5.2 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2023.

Revenues

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, the Company reported total revenues of approximately $68.7 million and for the same period in 2023 total revenues of approximately $16.0 million. The Company reported total revenues of approximately $39.0 million and $12.7 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The variance in total revenue between third quarter 2023 and 2024 results, and the year-to-date is primarily the result of the change in the fair value of equity securities. The Company reported a third quarter 2024 gain in the change in the fair value of equity securities of approximately $32.3 million and a year-to-date 2024 gain of approximately $51.2 million. In 2023, the Company reported a third quarter loss in the change in the fair value of equity securities of approximately $(23,000) and a year-to-date loss of approximately $(7.2) million. The stock markets have experienced volatility in recent periods, which in general, should always be expected.

This line item is material to the results reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, and this line item can also be extremely volatile, as it reflects changes in the stock market. While these results can be material and volatile, most of the equity holdings of the Company were acquired with a long-term view, thus making these intermediate changes in value of less concern to Management. Management monitors its equity holdings looking more at the specific entity and market it is in relative to performance and less to changes due to general market swings that occur over the holding period of the investment.

The Company reported revenue before net investment gains (losses) of approximately $15.4 million and $14.2 million for the nine-month-period ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company reported $5.0 million and $4.8 million, respectively, of revenue before net investment gains (losses) for the third quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in the 2024 results, when compared to 2023, are the result of an increase in net investment income in the third quarter and year-to-date.

Consolidated net investment income	$	3,591,503	$	3,432,684	$	10,936,013	$	9,994,645

Net investment income represented 71% and 70% of the Company's revenue before net investment gains (losses) as of 2024 and 2023, respectively. For the third quarter ended September 30, net investment income represented 72% and 72% of revenue before net investment gains (losses) for 2024 and 2023, respectively. When comparing current and prior year results, net investment income was comparable in a majority of the investment categories outside of the equity securities, mortgage loans, short term, and cash and cash equivalents investment portfolios.

Beginning in March 2022 and ending in July 2023, the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) aggressively raised interest rates to fight inflation. During this time period, the interest rate environment experienced eleven rate increases totaling 5.25%, including four increases during the first part of 2023. While these actions had a negative impact on some of our investments currently owned, this has also allowed for better yields on cash balances and recent investments acquired as investments mature. In September 2024, the FOMC declined the interest rate 0.50% making the current rate 4.75%. The Company anticipates a similar decline in earnings on cash balances and any new investments that are acquired as investments mature.

Earnings from the equity securities investment portfolio represented approximately 15% and 8% of the total consolidated investment income reported by the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Income from the equity securities portfolio was up approximately 73% or $410,000 when comparing third quarter 2024 and 2023 results. This third quarter increase in equity securities earnings is the result of increased dividends on some of the Company’s equity holdings.

Mortgage loan investment income declined approximately 29%, or $264,000 when comparing year-to-date 2024 to 2023. Third quarter earnings from mortgage loan investments were also down approximately 3%, or $8,000 when comparing 2024 to 2023. This is the result of two large payoffs on mortgage loans in the first and second quarters of 2023.

The earnings reported by the cash and short term investments represented 12% and 6% of the total consolidated investment income reported by the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Third quarter 2024 and 2023 earnings from cash and short term investments represented approximately 11% and 8% of the total investment income reported by the Company, respectively. The increase in earnings in this category is the result of a combination of higher cash and short term holdings in 2024 and from increased interest rates received from banks and other deposit institutions due to FOMC rate changes. With the September 2024 rate decline of 0.50%, the Company anticipates experiencing a similar decline in earnings on cash balances going forward.

The following table reflects net investment gains (losses):

Net investment gains (losses)	$	33,971,328	$	7,914,829	$	53,292,318	$	1,764,443

Realized investment gains are the result of one-time events and are expected to vary from year to year.

The sale of three equity securities holdings represents approximately $297,000 of the realized investment gains from equity securities during 2023. In 2024, the sale of four equity securities represents all the realized investment gains from equity securities.

In 2024, the Company reported realized gains on real estate of $166,000. This was the result of the sale of several smaller parcels of property located in Kentucky resulting in gains of approximately $101,000, and the sale of one smaller parcel of property located in Illinois that produced a gain of approximately $65,000. The 2023 real estate gains are the result of sales of real estate in Kentucky producing realized gains of approximately $760,000. Additionally, during third quarter 2023, the Company sold a large land parcel in West Virginia realizing a gain of $7.6 million.

The Company reported a year-to-date 2024 change in the fair value of equity securities of approximately $51.2 million, and a third quarter 2024 gain of approximately $32.3 million. In 2023, The Company reported a year-to-date change in the fair value of equity securities of approximately $(7.2) million, and a third quarter loss of approximately $(23,403). This line item is material to the results reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, and this line item can also be extremely volatile, as it reflects changes in the stock market. While these results can be material and volatile, most of the equity holdings of the Company were acquired with a long-term view, thus making these intermediate changes in value of less concern to Management. Management monitors its equity holdings looking more at the specific entity and market it is in relative to performance and less to changes due to general market swings that occur over the holding period of the investment.

In 2023, the Company saw negative results in its equity investments. However, most all the negative results occurred in the first quarter of 2023. Equity investments primarily in the oil and gas area represent almost all the unrealized gains reported in 2024 and unrealized losses reported in 2023. Periodic pull backs and rallies are expected by management. Management believes its current equity investments continue to be solid investments for the Company and have further growth potential; however, changes in market conditions could cause volatility in market prices.

In summary, the Company’s basis for future revenue is expected to come from the following primary sources: Conservation of business currently in-force, the maximization of investment earnings and the acquisition of other companies or policy blocks in the life insurance business. Management has placed a significant emphasis on the development of these revenue sources to enhance these opportunities.

Expenses

The Company reported total benefits and other expenses of approximately $15.7 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of approximately 16% from the same period in 2023. Benefits, claims and settlement expenses represented approximately 58% of the Company's total expenses for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The other major expense category of the Company is operating expenses, which represented approximately 39% and 40% of the Company's total expenses for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Life benefits, claims and settlement expenses, net of reinsurance benefits and claims were down approximately 16% when comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023. When comparing third quarter 2024 and 2023 results, life benefits, claims and settlement expenses were down approximately 1%. Policy claims vary from period to period and therefore, fluctuations in mortality are to be expected and are not considered unusual by Management.

Changes in policyholder reserves, or future policy benefits, also impact this line item. Reserves are calculated on an individual policy basis and generally increase over the life of the policy as a result of additional premium payments and acknowledgment of increased risk as the insured continues to age.

The short-term impact of policy surrenders is negligible since a reserve for future policy benefits payable is held which is, at a minimum, equal to and generally greater than the cash surrender value of a policy. The benefit of fewer policy surrenders is primarily received over a longer time period through the retention of the Company’s asset base.

Operating expenses decreased approximately 17% in the nine month period ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023. There is one expense item that comprises the majority of the decrease in operating expenses, charitable contributions. Charitable expense was approximately $791,000 less in the nine month period ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023. Charitable expense fluctuates based on reported taxable income of the Company. Expenses in the remaining categories are comparable between years.

As mentioned above in the Overview section of the Management Discussion and Analysis, UTG has a strong philanthropic program. The Company generally allocates a portion of its earnings to be used for its philanthropic efforts primarily targeted to Christ-centered organizations or organizations that help the weak or poor. Charitable contributions made by the Company are expected to vary from year to year depending on the earnings of the Company.

Net amortization of cost of insurance acquired decreased approximately 4% when comparing current and prior year activity. Cost of insurance acquired is established when an insurance company is acquired or when the Company acquires a block of in-force business. The Company assigns a portion of its cost to the right to receive future profits from insurance contracts existing at the date of the acquisition. Cost of insurance acquired is amortized with interest in relation to expected future profits, including direct charge-offs for any excess of the unamortized asset over the projected future profits. The interest rates may vary due to risk analysis performed at the time of acquisition on the business acquired. The Company utilizes a 12% discount rate on the remaining unamortized business. The amortization is adjusted retrospectively when estimates of current or future gross profits to be realized from a group of products are revised. Amortization of cost of insurance acquired is particularly sensitive to changes in interest rate spreads and persistency of certain blocks of insurance in-force. This expense is expected to decrease unless the Company acquires a new block of business.

Management continues to place significant emphasis on expense monitoring and cost containment. Maintaining administrative efficiencies directly impacts net income.

Financial Condition

Investment Information

Investments are the largest asset group of the Company. The Company's insurance subsidiary is regulated by insurance statutes and regulations as to the type of investments they are permitted to make, and the amount of funds that may be used for any one type of investment.

The following table reflects, by investment category, the investments held by the Company as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023:

September 30, 2024		Amount	As a % of Total Investments	As a % of Total Assets

Total investments	$	364,891,021	100%	83%

The Company's investments are generally managed to match related insurance and policyholder liabilities. The comparison of investment return with insurance or investment product crediting rates establishes an interest spread. Interest crediting rates on adjustable-rate policies have been reduced to their guaranteed minimum rates, and as such, cannot be lowered any further. Policy interest crediting rate changes and expense load changes become effective on an individual policy basis on the next policy anniversary. Therefore, it takes a full year from the time the change was determined for the full impact of such change to be realized. If interest rates decline in the future, the Company will not be able to lower rates and both net investment income and net income will be impacted negatively.

The Company’s total investments represented 85% and 83% of the Company’s total assets as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively. Fixed maturities and equity securities consistently represented a substantial portion, 77% and 72%, of the total investments during 2024 and 2023, respectively. The overall investment mix, as a percentage of total investments, remained fairly consistent when comparing the respective investments held as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

As of September 30, 2024, the carrying value of fixed maturity securities in default as to principal or interest was immaterial in the context of consolidated assets, shareholders’ equity or results from operations. To provide additional flexibility and liquidity, the Company has identified all fixed maturity securities as "investments available for sale". Investments available for sale are carried at market value, with changes in market value charged directly to the other comprehensive component of shareholders' equity. Changes in the market value of available for sale securities resulted in net unrealized gains (losses) of approximately $1.3 million and $(2.0) million as of September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The variance in the net unrealized gains and losses is the result of normal market fluctuations mainly related to changes in interest rates in the marketplace.

Management continues to view the Company’s investment portfolio with utmost priority. Significant time has been spent internally researching the Company’s risk and communicating with outside investment advisors about the current investment environment and ways to ensure preservation of capital and mitigate losses. Management has put extensive efforts into evaluating the investment holdings. Additionally, members of the Company’s Board of Directors and investment committee have been solicited for advice and provided with information. Management reviews the Company’s entire portfolio on a security level basis to be sure all understand our holdings, potential risks and underlying credit supporting the investments. Management intends to continue its close monitoring of its bond holdings and other investments for possible deterioration or market condition changes. Future events may result in Management’s determination that certain current investment holdings may need to be sold which could result in gains or losses in future periods. Such future events could also result in other than temporary declines in value that could result in future period impairment losses.

There are a number of significant risks and uncertainties inherent in the process of monitoring impairments and determining if impairment is other-than-temporary. These risks and uncertainties related to Management’s assessment of other-than-temporary declines in value include but are not limited to: the risk that Company's assessment of an issuer's ability to meet all of its contractual obligations will change based on changes in the credit characteristics of that issuer; the risk that the economic outlook will be worse than expected or have more of an impact on the issuer than anticipated; the risk that fraudulent information could be provided to the Company's investment professionals who determine the fair value estimates.

Capital Resources

Total shareholders' equity increased by approximately 26.8% as of September 30, 2024, compared to December 31, 2023. The increase is mainly attributable to an increase in retained earnings, which is the result of the current year net income reported by the Company and by the increase in market value of the available for sale fixed maturities portfolio.

Liquidity

Liquidity provides the Company with the ability to meet on demand the cash commitments required by its business operations and financial obligations. The Company’s liquidity is primarily derived from cash balances, a portfolio of marketable securities and line of credit facilities. The Company has two principal needs for cash – the insurance company’s contractual obligations to policyholders and the payment of operating expenses.

Parent Company Liquidity

UTG is a holding company that has no day-to-day operations of its own. Cash flows from UTG’s insurance subsidiary, UG, are used to pay costs associated with maintaining the Company in good standing with states in which it does business and purchasing outstanding shares of UTG stock. UTG's cash flow is dependent on management fees received from its insurance subsidiary, stockholder dividends from its subsidiary and earnings received on cash balances. As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, substantially all of the consolidated shareholders’ equity represents net assets of its subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2024, the Parent company has received no dividends from its insurance subsidiary. Certain restrictions exist on the payment of dividends from the insurance subsidiary to the Parent company. For further information regarding the restrictions on the payment of dividends by the insurance subsidiary, see Note 6 – Shareholders’ Equity in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Although these restrictions exist, dividend availability from the insurance subsidiary has historically been sufficient to meet the cash flow needs of the Parent company.

Insurance Subsidiary Liquidity

Sources of cash flows for the insurance subsidiary primarily consist of premium and investment income. Cash outflows from operations include policy benefit payments, administrative expenses, taxes and dividends to the Parent company.

Short-Term Borrowings

During October of 2024, the Federal Home Loan Bank approved the renewal of UG’s Cash Management Advance Application (“CMA”). The CMA is a source of overnight liquidity utilized to address the day-to-day cash needs of a Company. The CMA gives the company the option of selecting a variable rate of interest for up to 90 days or a fixed rate for a maximum of 30 days. The variable rate CMA is prepayable at any time without a fee, while the fixed CMA is not prepayable prior to maturity. The Company has pledged bonds with a collateral lendable value of $20.2 million as of September 30, 2024. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company borrowed $19 million and planned to utilize the funds for investing activities. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company repaid the entire outstanding principal balance.

Consolidated Liquidity

Cash used in operating activities was approximately $552,000 in 2024 and cash used by operating activities was approximately $9.7 million in 2023. Sources of operating cash flows of the Company, as with most insurance entities, is comprised primarily of premiums received on life insurance products and income earned on investments. Uses of operating cash flows consist primarily of payments of benefits to policyholders and beneficiaries and operating expenses. The Company has not marketed any significant new products for several years. As such, premium revenues continue to decline with the exception of fluctuations in reinsurance premiums. Management anticipates future cash flows from operations to remain similar to historic trends.

During 2024, the Company’s investing activities provided net cash of approximately $15.2 million and provided net cash of approximately $11.9 million in 2023. The Company recognized proceeds of approximately $45.5 million and $59.6 million from investments sold and matured in 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company used approximately $30.3 million and $47.6 million to acquire investments during 2024 and 2023, respectively. The net cash provided by or used in investing activities is expected to vary from year to year depending on market conditions and management’s ability to find and negotiate favorable investment contracts.

Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $19.8 and $19.9 million during 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company had no debt outstanding with third parties.

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $36.0 million and $41.2 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company has a portfolio of marketable fixed maturity securities that could be sold, if an unexpected event were to occur. These securities had a fair value of approximately $99.9 million at September 30, 2024. However, the strong cash flows from investing activities, investment maturities and the availability of the line of credit facilities make it unlikely that the Company would need to sell securities for liquidity purposes.

Management believes the overall sources of liquidity available will be sufficient to satisfy its financial obligations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedure

The Company maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. In addition, the disclosure controls and procedures ensure that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to Management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, allowing timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Under the supervision and with the participation of our Management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.
