ASU 2012-02 provides entities with an option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether events or circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If an entity concludes that it is more than 50% likely that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is not impaired, no further analysis is required. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, it would be required to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset to measure the amount of actual impairment, if any, as currently required under US GAAP. Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted ASU 2012-02 and the adoption did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements. There have been no triggering events that would suggest possible impairment or that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair values of indefinite-lived intangible assets are less than their carrying amounts. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">("ASU 2013-02"), which is intended to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income.  The ASU requires an entity to report, either on the face of the income statement or in the notes to the financial statements, the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in the income statement if the amount being reclassified is required to be reclassified in its entirety to net income.  For other amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other required disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts.  Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted ASU 2013-02.

"Prescribed" statutory accounting practices include state laws, regulations and general administrative rules, as well as a variety of publications of the NAIC. "Permitted" statutory accounting practices encompass all accounting practices that are not prescribed. Such practices may differ from state to state; may differ from company to company within a state; and may change in the future. The Company's insurance subsidiaries are required to report results of operations and financial position to insurance regulatory authorities based upon statutory accounting practices. In converting from statutory to U.S. GAAP, typical adjustments include deferral of acquisition costs, the inclusion of statutory non-admitted assets in the balance sheets, the inclusion of net unrealized holding gains or losses related to fixed maturities in shareholders’ equity, and the inclusion of changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities in net loss.Statutory capital and surplus and statutory net loss for the Company's insurance subsidiaries are:(in thousands) December 31, 2013 2012Combined net loss, statutory basis $(3,575) $(19,284)Combined capital and surplus, statutory basis $40,647 $38,308The Company’s insurance subsidiaries are required to hold minimum levels of statutory capital and surplus to satisfy regulatory requirements.
