DONEGAL GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(Unaudited)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1 -	Organization

Donegal Mutual Insurance Company (“Donegal Mutual”) organized us as an insurance holding company on August 26, 1986. Our insurance subsidiaries, Atlantic States Insurance Company (“Atlantic States”), Southern Insurance Company of Virginia (“Southern”), the Peninsula Insurance Group (“Peninsula”), which consists of Peninsula Indemnity Company and The Peninsula Insurance Company and Michigan Insurance Company (“MICO”), and our affiliates write personal and commercial lines of property and casualty coverages exclusively through a network of independent insurance agents in certain

Mid-Atlantic,

Midwestern, New England, Southern and Southwestern states.

~~We have~~

At March 31, 2022, we had 3 segments: our investment function, our commercial lines of insurance and our personal lines of insurance. The commercial lines products of our insurance subsidiaries consist primarily of commercial automobile, commercial multi-peril and workers’ compensation policies. The personal lines products of our insurance subsidiaries consist primarily of homeowners and private passenger automobile policies.

At ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, Donegal Mutual held approximately 41% of our outstanding Class A common stock and approximately 84% of our outstanding Class B common stock. This ownership provides Donegal Mutual with approximately 70% of the total voting power of our common stock. Our insurance subsidiaries and Donegal Mutual have interrelated operations due to a pooling agreement and other intercompany agreements and transactions. While each company maintains its separate corporate existence, our insurance subsidiaries and Donegal Mutual conduct business together as the Donegal Insurance Group. As such, Donegal Mutual and our insurance subsidiaries share the same business philosophy, the same management, the same employees and the same facilities and offer the same types of insurance products.

Atlantic States, our largest subsidiary, participates in a proportional reinsurance agreement, or pooling agreement, with Donegal Mutual. Under the pooling agreement, Donegal Mutual and Atlantic States contribute substantially all of their respective premiums, losses and loss expenses to the underwriting pool, and the underwriting pool, acting through Donegal Mutual, then allocates 80% of the pooled business to Atlantic States. Thus, Donegal Mutual and Atlantic States share the underwriting results of the pooled business in proportion to their respective participation in the underwriting pool.

In addition, Donegal Mutual has a 100% quota-share reinsurance agreement with Southern Mutual Insurance Company, or Southern Mutual. Donegal Mutual places its assumed business from Southern Mutual into the underwriting pool.

Donegal Mutual completed the merger of Mountain States Mutual Casualty Company, or Mountain States, with and into Donegal Mutual effective May 25, 2017. Donegal Mutual was the surviving company in the merger, and Mountain States’ insurance subsidiaries, Mountain States Indemnity Company and Mountain States Commercial Insurance Company (collectively, the “Mountain States insurance subsidiaries”), became insurance subsidiaries of Donegal Mutual upon completion of the merger. Upon completion of the merger, Donegal Mutual assumed all of the policy obligations of Mountain States and began to market its products together with the Mountain States insurance subsidiaries as the Mountain States Insurance Group in ~~four~~4 Southwestern states. Donegal Mutual also entered into a 100% quota-share reinsurance agreement with the Mountain States insurance subsidiaries on the merger date. Beginning with policies effective in 2021, Donegal Mutual began to place the business of the Mountain States Insurance Group into the underwriting pool. ~~As a result, our consolidated financial results through December 31, 2020 excluded the results of the Mountain States Insurance Group operations in those Southwestern states.~~

The same executive management and underwriting personnel administer products, classes of business underwritten, pricing practices and underwriting standards of Donegal Mutual and our insurance subsidiaries. In addition, as the Donegal Insurance Group, Donegal Mutual and our insurance subsidiaries share a combined business plan to achieve market penetration and underwriting profitability objectives. The products our insurance subsidiaries and Donegal Mutual market are generally complementary, thereby allowing the Donegal Insurance Group to offer a broader range of products to a given market and to

~~Table of Contents~~

expand the Donegal Insurance Group’s ability to service an entire personal lines or commercial lines account. Distinctions within the products of Donegal Mutual and our insurance subsidiaries generally relate to specific risk profiles targeted within similar classes of business, such as preferred tier versus standard tier products, but we do not allocate all of the standard risk gradients to one company. Therefore, the underwriting profitability of the business the individual companies write directly will vary. However, the underwriting pool homogenizes the risk characteristics of all business that Donegal Mutual and Atlantic States write directly. The business Atlantic States derives from the underwriting pool represents a significant percentage of our total consolidated revenues.~~~~

Our financial information for the interim periods included in this Form

10-Q

Report is unaudited; however, our financial information we include in this Form

10-Q

Report reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of our management, are necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for those interim periods. Our results of operations for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations we expect for the year ending December 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

We recommend you read the interim financial statements we include in this Form

10-Q

Report in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes to our financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form

10-K

for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

3 -	Earnings Per Share

We have two classes of common stock, which we refer to as our Class A common stock and our Class B common stock. Our certificate of incorporation provides that whenever our board of directors declares a dividend on our Class B common stock, our board of directors shall simultaneously declare a dividend on our Class A common stock that is payable to the holders of our Class A common stock at the same time and as of the same record date at a rate that is at least 10% greater than the rate at which our board of directors declared a dividend on our Class B common stock. Accordingly, we use the

two-class

method to compute our earnings per common share. The

two-class

method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share separately for each class of common stock based on dividends we have declared and an allocation of our remaining undistributed earnings using a participation percentage that reflects the dividend rights of each class. The table below presents for the periods indicated a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators we used to compute basic and diluted net income per share for our Class A common stock and our Class B common stock:~~~~

Atlantic States and Donegal Mutual have participated in a pooling agreement since 1986 under which they pool their direct premiums written, and Atlantic States and Donegal Mutual then share the underwriting results of the pool in accordance with the terms of the pooling agreement. Atlantic States has an 80% share of the results of the pool, and Donegal Mutual has a 20% share of the results of the pool. Donegal Mutual began placing the business of the Mountain States Insurance Group into the pool beginning with policies effective in 2021.

Our insurance subsidiaries and Donegal Mutual ~~have~~participate in a ~~combined~~consolidated third-party reinsurance program.

The agreement also provides additional coverage for an accumulation of losses from a single event including a combination of our insurance subsidiaries over a combined retention of $5.0 million.

Our insurance subsidiaries and Donegal Mutual also purchase facultative reinsurance to cover certain exposures, including property exposures that exceeded the limits provided by their respective treaty reinsurance.

In order to write automobile insurance in the state of Michigan, MICO is required to be a member of the Michigan Catastrophic Claims Association (“MCCA”). The MCCA provides reinsurance to MICO for personal automobile and commercial automobile personal injury claims in the state of Michigan over a set retention. In November 2021, the MCCA approved the return of approximately $3.0 billion of its estimated surplus to its member insurance companies and provided guidance to those companies with respect to the payment of refunds to Michigan policyholders in the first half of 2022. We recorded a receivable from the MCCA and a corresponding payable for cash refunds due to Michigan policyholders in the amount of $18.1 million on our balance sheet as of December 31, 2021. In March 2022, we received such payment from the MCCA and subsequently paid the refunds due to our Michigan policyholders.

We make estimates concerning the valuation of our investments and the recognition of other-than-temporary declines in the value of our investments. For equity securities, we measure investments at fair value, and we recognize changes in fair value in

~~Table of Contents~~

our results of operations. With respect to a debt security that is in an unrealized loss position, we first assess if we intend to sell the debt security. If we determine we intend to sell the debt security, we recognize the impairment loss in our results of operations. If we do not intend to sell the debt security, we determine whether it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the debt security prior to recovery. If we determine it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the debt security prior to recovery, we recognize the impairment loss in our results of operations. If we determine it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell the debt security prior to recovery, we then evaluate whether a credit loss has occurred with respect to that security. We determine whether a credit loss has occurred by comparing the amortized cost of the debtsecurity to the present value of the cash flows we expect to collect. If we expect a cash flow shortfall, we consider that a credit loss has occurred. If we determine that a credit loss has occurred, we consider the impairment to be other than temporary. We then recognize the amount of the impairment loss related to the credit loss in our results of operations, and we recognize the remaining portion of the impairment loss in our other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. In addition, we may write down securities in an unrealized loss position based on a number of other factors, including when the fair value of an investment is significantly below its cost, when the financial condition of the issuer of a security has deteriorated, the occurrence of industry, issuer or geographic events that have negatively impacted the value of a security and rating agency downgrades. We held 89

593 debt securities that were in an unrealized loss position at ~~June 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022. Based upon our analysis of general market conditions and underlying factors impacting these debt securities, we considered these declines in value to be temporary.

We amortize premiums and discounts on debt securities over the life of the security as an adjustment to yield using the effective interest method. We compute realized investment gains and losses using the specific identification method.

We amortize premiums and discounts on mortgage-backed debt securities using anticipated prepayments.

6 -	Segment Information

We evaluate the performance of our personal lines and commercial lines segments based upon the underwriting results of our insurance subsidiaries using statutory accounting principles (“SAP”) that various state insurance departments prescribe or permit. Our management uses SAP to measure the performance of our insurance subsidiaries instead of United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). SAP financial measures are considered

non-GAAP

financial measures under applicable SEC rules because they include or exclude certain items that the most comparable GAAP financial measures do not ordinarily include or exclude.

Lines of Credit

In August 2020, we entered into a credit agreement with Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (“M&T”) that related to a $20.0 million unsecured demand line of credit. The line of credit has no expiration date, no annual fees and no covenants. At ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we had no0 outstanding borrowings from M&T and had the ability to borrow up to $20.0 million at interest rates equal to the then-current LIBOR rate plus 2.00%.

Atlantic States is a member of the FHLB of Pittsburgh. Through its membership, Atlantic States has the ability to issue debt to the FHLB of Pittsburgh in exchange for cash advances. Atlantic States has a fixed-rate cash advance of $35.0 million that was outstanding at ~~June 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022. The cash advance carries a fixed interest rate of 1.74% and is due in August ~~2024.~~2024. In March 2020, Atlantic States issued $50.0 million of debt to the FHLB of Pittsburgh in exchange for a cash advance in the same amount that carried a fixed interest rate of 0.83%. Atlantic States obtained this contingent liquidity funding in light of uncertainty surrounding the economic impact of the

8 -	Share–Based Compensation

We measure all share-based payments to employees, including grants of stock options, and use a fair-value-based method for the recording of related compensation expense in our results of operations. In determining the expense we record for stock options granted to directors and employees of our subsidiaries and affiliates, we estimate the fair value of each option award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The significant assumptions we utilize in applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model are the risk-free interest rate, the expected term, the dividend yield and the expected volatility.

9 -	Fair Value Measurements

We account for financial assets using a framework that establishes a hierarchy that ranks the quality and reliability of the inputs, or assumptions, we use in the determination of fair value, and we classify financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value in one of the following three categories:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

Level 2 – directly or indirectly observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices; and

Level 3 – unobservable inputs not corroborated by market data.

For investments that have quoted market prices in active markets, we use the quoted market price as fair value and include these investments in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. We classify publicly-traded equity securities as Level 1. When quoted market prices in active markets are not available, we base fair values on quoted market prices of comparable instruments or price estimates we obtain from independent pricing services and include these investments in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. We classify our fixed maturity investments and non-publicly traded equity securities as Level 2. Our fixed maturity investments consist of U.S. Treasury securities and obligations of U.S. government corporations and agencies, obligations of states and political subdivisions, corporate securities and mortgage-backed securities.

Index

We present our investments in

available-for-sale

fixed maturity and equity securities at estimated fair value. The estimated fair value of a security may differ from the amount that could be realized if we sold the security in a forced transaction. In addition, the valuation of fixed maturity investments is more subjective when markets are less liquid, increasing the potential that the estimated fair value does not reflect the price at which an actual transaction would occur. We utilize nationally recognized independent pricing services to estimate fair values or obtain market quotations for substantially all of our fixed maturity and equity investments. We generally obtain two prices per security. These pricing services utilize market quotations for fixed maturity and equity securities that have quoted prices in active markets. For fixed maturity securities that generally do not trade on a daily basis, the pricing services prepare estimates of fair value measurements based predominantly on observable market inputs. The pricing services do not use broker quotes in determining the fair values of our investments. Our investment personnel review the estimates of fair value the pricing services provide to verify that the estimates we obtain from the pricing services are representative of fair values based upon our investment personnel’s general knowledge of the market, their research findings related to unusual fluctuations in value and their comparison of such values to execution prices for similar securities. Our investment personnel ~~regularly~~ monitor the market and are familiar with current trading ranges for similar securities and the pricing of specific investments. Our investment personnel review all pricing estimates that we receive from the pricing services against their expectations with respect to pricing based on fair market curves, security ratings, ~~interest~~coupon rates, security types and recent trading activity. Our investment personnel periodically review documentation with respect to the pricing services’ pricing methodology that they obtain to determine if the primary pricing sources, market inputs and pricing frequency for various security types are reasonable. At ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we received two estimates per security from the pricing services, and we priced substantially all of our Level 1 and Level 2 investments using those prices. In our review of the estimates the pricing services provided at ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we did not identify any material discrepancies, and we did not make any adjustments to the estimates the pricing services provided.

We present our cash and short-term investments at estimated fair value. We classify these items as Level 1.

~~Table of Contents~~

The carrying values we report in our balance sheet for premium receivables, ~~and~~ reinsurance receivables ~~and payables for premiums and~~related to paid losses and loss expenses and reinsurance balances payable approximate their fair values. The carrying amounts we report in our balance sheets for our subordinated debentures and borrowings under lines of credit approximate their fair values. We classify these items as Level 3.

We evaluate our assets and liabilities to determine the appropriate level at which to classify them for each reporting period.

10 -	Income Taxes

At ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively, we had no material unrecognized tax benefits or accrued interest and penalties. Tax years 2016 through ~~2020~~2021 remained open for examination at ~~June 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022. We provide a valuation allowance when we believe it is more likely than not that we will not realize some portion of our tax assets. We established a valuation allowance of $7.9 million for our net state operating loss carryforward. We have determined that we are not required to establish a valuation allowance for our other deferred tax assets of ~~$27.6~~$32.5 million and ~~$26.7~~$28.1 million at ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively, because it is more likely than not that we will realize these deferred tax assets through reversals of existing temporary differences, future taxable income and the implementation of tax planning strategies.

~~Table of Contents~~

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was signed into law. The CARES Act amended net operating loss provisions in effect prior to its enactment. The CARES Act allows for the carryback of losses arising in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2021 to each of the five taxable years preceding the taxable year of such loss. As a result, we filed amended tax returns to carry back net operating losses from taxable year 2018 to past tax years. We recorded a tax benefit of $1.6 million in the first quarter of 2020 in anticipation of a refund of taxes we paid in prior years as a result of the carryback.

11 -	Liabilities for Losses and Loss Expenses

The establishment of appropriate liabilities for losses and loss expenses is an inherently uncertain process, and we can provide no assurance that our insurance subsidiaries’ ultimate liabilities for losses and loss expenses will not exceed their loss and loss expense reserves and have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, we cannot predict the timing, frequency and extent of adjustments to our insurance subsidiaries’ estimated future liabilities, because the historical conditions and events that serve as a basis for our insurance subsidiaries’ estimates of ultimate claim costs may change. As is the case for substantially all property and casualty insurance companies, our insurance subsidiaries have found it necessary in the past to increase their estimated future liabilities for losses and loss expenses in certain periods, and, in other periods, their estimated future liabilities for losses and loss expenses have exceeded their actual liabilities for losses and loss expenses. Changes in our insurance subsidiaries’ estimate of their liabilities for losses and loss expenses generally reflect actual payments and their evaluation of information received subsequent to the prior reporting period.

Our insurance subsidiaries recognized a decrease in their liabilities for losses and loss expenses of prior years of ~~$21.6~~$16.5 million

and ~~$10.9~~$8.2 million for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, ~~and 2020,~~ respectively. Our insurance subsidiaries made no significant changes in their reserving philosophy or claims management personnel, and they have made no significant offsetting changes in estimates that increased or decreased their loss and loss expense reserves in those years. The 2022 development represented 2.6% of the December 31, 2021 net carried reserves and resulted primarily from lower-than-expected loss emergence or severity in nearly all lines of business. The majority of the 2022 development related to decreases in the liabilities for losses and loss expenses of prior years for Atlantic States and MICO. The 2021 development represented ~~3.9%~~1.5% of the December 31, 2020 net carried reserves and resulted primarily from lower-than-expected loss emergence or severity in nearly all lines of business. The majority of the 2021 development related to decreases in the liabilities for losses and loss expenses of prior years for Atlantic States and MICO. ~~The 2020 development represented 2.1% of the December 31, 2019 net carried reserves and resulted primarily from lower-than-expected severity in nearly all lines of business,~~

~~Table of Contents~~

with the exception of modest higher-than-expected severity in commercial automobile. The majority of the 2020 development related to decreases in the liabilities for losses and loss expenses of prior years for Atlantic States and MICO.

Short-duration contracts are contracts for which our insurance subsidiaries receive premiums that they recognize as revenue over the period of the contract in proportion to the amount of insurance protection our insurance subsidiaries provide. Our insurance subsidiaries consider the policies they issue to be short-duration contracts. We consider the material lines of business of our insurance subsidiaries to be personal automobile, homeowners, commercial automobile, commercial multi-peril and workers’ compensation.

Our insurance subsidiaries determine incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) reserves by subtracting the cumulative loss and loss expense amounts our insurance subsidiaries have paid and the case reserves our insurance subsidiaries have established at the balance sheet date from their actuaries’ estimate of the ultimate cost of losses and loss expenses. Accordingly, the IBNR reserves of our insurance subsidiaries include their actuaries’ projections of the cost of unreported claims as well as their actuaries’ projected development of case reserves on known claims and reopened claims. Our insurance subsidiaries’ methodology for estimating IBNR reserves has been in place for many years, and their actuaries made no significant changes to that methodology during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021.~~

March 31, 2022.

The actuaries for our insurance subsidiaries generally prepare an initial estimate for ultimate losses and loss expenses for the current accident year by multiplying earned premium by an “a priori,” or expected, loss ratio for each line of business our insurance subsidiaries write. Expected loss ratios represent the actuaries’ expectation of losses at the time our insurance subsidiaries price and write their policies and before the emergence of any actual claims experience. The actuaries determine an expected loss ratio by analyzing historical experience and adjusting for loss cost trends, loss frequency and severity trends, premium rate level changes, reported and paid loss emergence patterns and other known or observed factors.

Index

The actuaries use a variety of actuarial methods to estimate the ultimate cost of losses and loss expenses. These methods include paid loss development, incurred loss development and the Bornhuetter-Ferguson ~~method.~~method from which the actuaries select loss development factor assumptions. The actuaries base their selection of a point estimate on a judgmental weighting of the estimates each of these methods produce.

The actuaries consider loss frequency and severity trends when they develop expected loss ratios and point estimates. Loss frequency is a measure of the number of claims per unit of insured exposure, and loss severity is a measure of the average size of claims. Factors that affect loss frequency include changes in weather patterns and economic activity. Factors that affect loss severity include changes in policy limits, reinsurance retentions, inflation rates and judicial interpretations.

Our insurance subsidiaries create a claim file when they receive notice of an actual demand for payment, an event that may lead to a demand for payment or when they otherwise determine that a demand for payment could potentially lead to a future demand for payment on another coverage under the same policy or another policy they have issued. In recent years, our insurance subsidiaries have noted an increase in the period of time between the occurrence of a casualty loss event and the date at which they receive notice of a liability claim. Changes in the length of time between the loss occurrence date and the claim reporting date affect the actuaries’ ability to predict loss frequency accurately and the amount of IBNR reserves our insurance subsidiaries require.

Our insurance subsidiaries generally create a claim file for a policy at the claimant level by type of coverage and generally recognize one count for each claim event. In certain lines of business where it is common for multiple parties to claim damages arising from a single claim event, our insurance subsidiaries recognize one count for each claimant involved in the event. Atlantic States recognizes one count for each claim event, or claimant involved in a multiple-party claim event, related to losses Atlantic States assumes through its participation in its pooling agreement with Donegal Mutual. Our insurance subsidiaries accumulate the claim counts and report them by line of business.

12 -	- Impact of New Accounting Standards

In September 2016, the FASB issued guidance that amends previous guidance on the impairment of financial instruments by adding an impairment model that requires an entity to recognize expected credit losses as an allowance rather than impairments as credit losses are incurred. The intent of this guidance is to reduce complexity and result in a more timely

~~Table of Contents~~

recognition of expected credit losses. In November 2019, the FASB issued guidance that delays the effective date for “smaller reporting companies,” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of

Regulation S-K, to

annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022 from December 15, 2019. We are a smaller reporting company and are in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In December 2019, the FASB issued guidance that simplifies accounting for income taxes. The guidance eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The guidance was effective January 1, 2021, using the retrospective method or modified retrospective method for certain changes and the prospective method for all other changes, and permits early adoption. Our adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2021 did not have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We combine our financial statements with those of our insurance subsidiaries and present our financial statements on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP.

Index

Our insurance subsidiaries make estimates and assumptions that can have a significant effect on amounts and disclosures we report in our financial statements. The most significant estimates relate to the liabilities of our insurance subsidiaries for property and casualty insurance losses and loss expenses. While we believe our estimates and the estimates of our insurance subsidiaries are appropriate, the ultimate amounts of these liabilities may differ from the estimates we provided. We regularly review our methods for making these estimates and we reflect any adjustment we consider necessary in our current consolidated results of operations.

Liabilities for Losses and Loss Expenses

Liabilities for losses and loss expenses are estimates at a given point in time of the amounts an insurer expects to pay with respect to incurred policyholder claims based on facts and circumstances the insurer knows at that point in time. For example, legislative, judicial and regulatory actions may expand coverage definitions, retroactively mandate coverage or otherwise require our insurance subsidiaries to pay losses for damages that their policies explicitly excluded or did not intend to cover. At the time of establishing its estimates, an insurer recognizes that its ultimate ~~liabilities~~liability for losses and loss expenses will exceed or be less than such estimates. Our insurance subsidiaries base their estimates of liabilities for losses and loss expenses on assumptions as to future loss trends, expected claims severity, judicial theories of liability and other factors. However, during the loss adjustment period, our insurance subsidiaries may learn additional facts regarding individual claims, and, consequently, it often becomes necessary for our insurance subsidiaries to refine and adjust their estimates for these liabilities. We reflect any adjustments to the liabilities for losses and loss expenses of our insurance subsidiaries in our consolidated results of operations in the period in which our insurance subsidiaries make adjustments to their estimates.

Our insurance subsidiaries maintain liabilities for the payment of losses and loss expenses with respect to both reported and unreported claims. Our insurance subsidiaries establish these liabilities for the purpose of covering the ultimate costs of settling all losses, including investigation and litigation costs. Our insurance subsidiaries base the amount of their liability for reported losses primarily upon a

case-by-case

evaluation of the type of risk involved, knowledge of the circumstances surrounding each claim and the insurance policy provisions relating to the type of loss the policyholder incurred. Our insurance subsidiaries determine the amount of their liability for unreported claims and loss expenses on the basis of historical

~~Table of Contents~~

information by line of insurance. Our insurance subsidiaries account for inflation in the reserving function through analysis of costs and trends and reviews of historical reserving results. Our insurance subsidiaries monitor their liabilities closely and recompute them periodically using new information on reported claims and a variety of statistical techniques. Our insurance subsidiaries do not discount their liabilities for losses and loss expenses.

~~Table of Contents~~

Reserve estimates can change over time because of unexpected changes in assumptions related to our insurance subsidiaries’ external environment and, to a lesser extent, assumptions related to our insurance subsidiaries’ internal operations. For example, our insurance subsidiaries have experienced an increase in claims severity and a lengthening of the claim settlement periods on bodily injury claims during the past several years. ~~These trend changes give rise to greater uncertainty as to the pattern of future loss settlements on bodily injury claims.~~ In addition, the

COVID-19

pandemic and related government mandates and restrictions resulted in various changes from historical claims reporting and settlement trends during ~~2020.~~2020 and resulted in significant increases in loss costs in 2021 and 2022 due to a number of factors, including supply chain disruption, higher used automobile values, increases in the cost of replacement automobile parts and rising labor rates. These trend changes give rise to greater uncertainty as to the pattern of future loss settlements. Related uncertainties regarding future trends include social inflation, ~~supply chain disruption,~~availability and cost of building materials, availability of skilled labor, the rate of plaintiff attorney involvement in claims and the cost of medical technologies and procedures. Assumptions related to our insurance subsidiaries’ external environment include the absence of significant changes in tort law and the legal environment that increase liability exposure, consistency in judicial interpretations of insurance coverage and policy provisions and the rate of loss cost inflation. Internal assumptions include consistency in the recording of premium and loss statistics, consistency in the recording of claims, payment and case reserving methodology, accurate measurement of the impact of rate changes and changes in policy provisions, consistency in the quality and characteristics of business written within a given line of business and consistency in reinsurance coverage and collectability of reinsured losses, among other items. To the extent our insurance subsidiaries determine that underlying factors impacting their assumptions have changed, our insurance subsidiaries make adjustments in their reserves that they consider appropriate for such changes. Accordingly, our insurance subsidiaries’ ultimate ~~liabilities~~liability for unpaid losses and loss expenses will likely differ from the amount recorded at ~~June 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022. For every 1% change in our insurance subsidiaries’ loss and loss expense reserves, net of reinsurance recoverable, the effect on our

pre-tax

results of operations would be approximately ~~$5.8~~ $6.3million.

Index

The establishment of appropriate liabilities is an inherently uncertain process and we can provide no assurance that our insurance subsidiaries’ ultimate liability will not exceed our insurance subsidiaries’ loss and loss expense reserves and have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, we cannot predict the timing, frequency and extent of adjustments to our insurance subsidiaries’ estimated future liabilities, because the historical conditions and events that serve as a basis for our insurance subsidiaries’ estimates of ultimate claim costs may change. As is the case for substantially all property and casualty insurance companies, our insurance subsidiaries have found it necessary in the past to increase their estimated future liabilities for losses and loss expenses in certain periods and, in other periods, their estimated future liabilities for losses and loss expenses have exceeded their actual liabilities for losses and loss expenses. Changes in our insurance subsidiaries’ estimates of their ~~liabilities~~liability for losses and loss expenses generally reflect actual payments and their evaluation of information received subsequent to the prior reporting period.

Excluding the impact of severe weather events and the

COVID-19

pandemic, our insurance subsidiaries have noted stable amounts in the number of claims incurred and the number of claims outstanding at period ends relative to their premium base in recent years across most of their lines of business. However, the amount of the average claim outstanding has increased gradually over the past several years due to various factors such as rising ~~medical loss costs~~inflation and increased litigation trends. We have also experienced a general slowing of settlement rates in litigated claims and lengthening of repair completion times for property and automobile claims. Our insurance subsidiaries could have to make further adjustments to their estimates in the future. However, on the basis of our insurance subsidiaries’ internal procedures, which analyze, among other things, their prior assumptions, their experience with similar cases and historical trends such as reserving patterns, loss payments, pending levels of unpaid claims and product mix, as well as court decisions, economic conditions and public attitudes, we believe that our insurance subsidiaries have made adequate provision for their ~~liabilities~~liability for losses and loss expenses.

Atlantic States’ participation in the pool with Donegal Mutual exposes Atlantic States to adverse loss development on the business of Donegal Mutual that the pool includes. However, pooled business represents the predominant percentage of the net underwriting activity of both companies, and Donegal Mutual and Atlantic States share proportionately any adverse risk development relating to the pooled business. The business in the pool is homogeneous and each company has a

pro-rata

share of the entire pool. Since the predominant percentage of the business of Atlantic States and Donegal Mutual is pooled and the results shared by each company according to its participation level under the terms of the pooling agreement, the intent of the

~~Table of Contents~~

underwriting pool is to produce a more uniform and stable underwriting result from year to year for each company than either would experience individually and to spread the risk of loss between the companies.

Donegal Mutual and our insurance subsidiaries operate together as the Donegal Insurance Group and share a combined business plan designed to achieve market penetration and underwriting profitability objectives. The products our insurance subsidiaries and Donegal Mutual offer are generally complementary, thereby allowing Donegal Insurance Group to offer a broader range of products to a given market and to expand Donegal Insurance Group’s ability to service an entire personal lines or commercial lines account. Distinctions within the products of Donegal Mutual and our insurance subsidiaries generally relate to specific risk profiles targeted within similar classes of business, such as preferred tier products compared to standard tier products, but we do not allocate all of the standard risk gradients to one company. Therefore, the underwriting profitability of the business the individual companies write directly will vary. However, because the pool homogenizes the risk characteristics of the predominant percentage of the business Donegal Mutual and Atlantic States write directly and each company shares the underwriting results according to each company’s participation percentage, each company realizes its percentage share of the underwriting results of the pool.20

We have evaluated the effect on our insurance subsidiaries’ loss and loss expense reserves and our stockholders’ equity in the event of reasonably likely changes in the variables we consider in establishing the loss and loss expense reserves of our insurance subsidiaries. We established the range of reasonably likely changes based on a review of changes in accident-year development by line of business and applied those changes to our insurance subsidiaries’ loss and loss expense reserves as a whole. The range we selected does not necessarily indicate what could be the potential best or worst case or the most likely scenario. The following table sets forth the estimated effect on our insurance subsidiaries’ loss and loss expense reserves and our stockholders’ equity in the event of reasonably likely changes in the variables we considered in establishing the loss and loss expense reserves of our insurance subsidiaries:

Non-GAAP Information

~~Non-GAAP~~

~~Information~~

We prepare our consolidated financial statements on the basis of GAAP. Our insurance subsidiaries also prepare financial statements based on statutory accounting principles state insurance regulators prescribe or permit (“SAP”). SAP financial measures are considered

non-GAAP

financial measures under applicable SEC rules because the SAP financial measures include or exclude certain items that the most comparable GAAP financial measures do not ordinarily include or exclude. Our calculation of

non-GAAP

financial measures may differ from similar measures other companies use, so investors should exercise caution when comparing our

non-GAAP

financial measures to the

non-GAAP

financial measures other companies use.

Because our insurance subsidiaries do not prepare GAAP financial statements, we evaluate the performance of our personal lines and commercial lines segments utilizing SAP financial measures that reflect the growth trends and underwriting results of our insurance subsidiaries. The SAP financial measures we utilize are net premiums written and statutory combined ratio.

Net Premiums Written

We define net premiums written as the amount of full-term premiums our insurance subsidiaries record for policies effective within a given period less premiums our insurance subsidiaries cede to reinsurers. Net premiums earned is the most comparable GAAP financial measure to net premiums written. Net premiums earned represent the sum of the amount of net premiums written and the change in net unearned premiums during a given period. Our insurance subsidiaries earn premiums and recognize them as revenue over the terms of their policies, which are one year or less in duration. Therefore, increases or decreases in net premiums earned generally reflect increases or decreases in net premiums written in the preceding

12-month

period compared to the comparable period one year earlier.

Statutory Combined Ratio

The combined ratio is a standard measurement of underwriting profitability for an insurance company. The combined ratio does not reflect investment income, net investment gains or losses, federal income taxes or other

non-operating

income or expense. A combined ratio of less than 100% generally indicates underwriting profitability.

The statutory combined ratio is a

non-GAAP

financial measure that is based upon amounts determined under SAP. We calculate our statutory combined ratio as the sum of:

the statutory loss ratio, which is the ratio of calendar-year net incurred losses and loss expenses, excluding anticipated salvage and subrogation recoveries, to net premiums earned;

the statutory expense ratio, which is the ratio of expenses incurred for net commissions, premium taxes and underwriting expenses to net premiums written; and

the statutory dividend ratio, which is the ratio of dividends to holders of workers’ compensation policies to net premiums earned.

The calculation of our statutory combined ratio differs from the calculation of our GAAP combined ratio. In calculating our GAAP combined ratio, we do not deduct installment payment fees from incurred expenses, and we base the expense ratio on net premiums earned instead of net premiums written. Differences between our GAAP loss ratio and our statutory loss ratio result from anticipating salvage and subrogation recoveries for our GAAP loss ratio but not for our statutory loss ratio.

Results of Operations - Three Months Ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 Compared to Three Months Ended ~~June 30, 2020~~

March 31, 2021

Net Premiums Earned.

Our insurance subsidiaries’ net premiums earned for the ~~second quarter~~first three months of ~~2021~~2022 were ~~$192.5~~$199.2 million, an increase of ~~$8.1~~$11.9 million, or ~~4.4~~6.4 %, compared to ~~$184.4~~$187.3 million for the ~~second quarter~~first three months of ~~2020,~~2021, primarily reflecting the inclusion of the business of the Mountain States Insurance Group in the underwriting pool beginning with policies effective in 2021, as well as ~~new business growth~~solid premium retention and renewal premium increases.

Net Premiums Written.

Our insurance subsidiaries’ net premiums written for the three months ended

~~June 30, 2021~~ March 31, 2022 were ~~$209.6~~$218.4 million, an increase of ~~$15.9~~$2.5 million, or ~~8.2%~~1.2%, from the ~~$193.7~~$215.9 million of net premiums written for the ~~second quarter~~first three months of ~~2020.~~2021. Commercial lines net premiums written increased ~~$21.4~~$2.4 million, or ~~19.9%~~1.7%, for the ~~second quarter~~first three months of ~~2021~~2022 compared to the ~~second quarter~~first three months of ~~2020.~~2021. We attribute the increase in commercial lines net premiums written primarily to ~~the inclusion of the business of the Mountain States Insurance Group in the underwriting pool beginning with policies effective in 2021, as well as~~modest new business growth, solid premium retention and renewal premium increases. Personal lines net premiums written ~~decreased $5.5 million, or~~

~~6.4%,~~increased slightly for the ~~second quarter~~first three months of ~~2021~~2022 compared to the ~~second quarter~~first three months of 2020. We attribute the decrease in personal lines net premiums written primarily to net attrition as a result of measures our insurance subsidiaries have implemented to improve underwriting profitability, partially offset by the impact of premium rate increases our insurance subsidiaries have implemented.2021.

Investment Income.

Our net investment income was ~~$7.7~~$7.9 million for the ~~second quarter~~first three months of ~~2021,~~2022, compared to ~~$7.2~~$7.5 million for the ~~second quarter~~first three months of ~~2020.~~2021. We attribute the increase primarily to an increase in average invested assets.

Net Investment (Losses) Gains.

Net investment losses for the first three months of 2022 were $76,247, compared to net investment gains of $2.5 million for the first three months of 2021. The net investment losses and gains for the ~~second quarter~~first three months of 2022 and 2021, ~~were $4.2 million, compared to $6.5 million for the second quarter of 2020. The net investment gains for the second quarters of 2021 and 2020~~respectively, resulted primarily from the net change in unrealized gains and losses within our equity securities portfolio at ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, ~~and 2020,~~ respectively. We did not recognize any impairment losses in our investment portfolio during the ~~second quarter~~first three months of ~~2021~~2022 or ~~2020.~~2021.

Losses and Loss Expenses.

Our insurance subsidiaries’ loss ratio, which is the ratio of incurred losses and loss expenses to premiums earned, was 59.2% for the ~~second quarter~~first three months of ~~2021, an increase~~2022, a decrease from our insurance subsidiaries’ loss ratio of ~~57.1%~~63.7% for the ~~second quarter~~first three months of ~~2020.~~2021.

Weather-related loss activity for the ~~second quarter~~first three months of ~~2021~~2022 was lower than our previous five-year average of ~~$17.0~~$10.3 million for ~~second~~first quarter weather-related losses. On a statutory basis, our insurance subsidiaries’ commercial lines loss ratio was ~~56.4%~~57.2% for the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2021,~~2022, compared to ~~58.5%~~66.3% for the ~~second quarter~~first three months of ~~2020,~~2021, primarily due to ~~a decrease~~decreases in the commercial automobile, commercial multi-peril and workers’ compensation loss ratios. The personal lines statutory loss ratio of our insurance subsidiaries increased to ~~63.9%~~63.0% for the ~~second quarter~~first three months of ~~2021,~~2022, compared to ~~55.3%~~61.0% for the ~~second quarter~~first three months of ~~2020.~~2021. We attribute this increase primarily to an increase in large homeowner fire losses, which we define as individual fire losses in excess of $50,000. During the ~~personal automobile loss ratio.~~first quarter of 2022, our insurance subsidiaries experienced $6.2 million of large homeowner fire losses, compared to $2.9 million for the first quarter of 2021. Our insurance subsidiaries experienced favorable loss reserve development for the first quarter of 2022 of approximately ~~$13.4~~ $16.5million, ~~and $6.6~~or 8.3percentage points of the loss ratio, compared to $8.2 million ~~during~~that decreased the ~~second quarters~~loss ratio for the first quarter of 2021 by 4.4 percentage points. Our insurance subsidiaries experienced favorable development in all lines of business in the first quarter of 2022, with the majority of the impact relating to reserves for accident years 2021 and 2020 ~~respectively.~~in the commercial automobile, personal automobile, commercial multi-peril and workers’ compensation lines of business.

Underwriting Expenses.

The expense ratio for an insurance company is the ratio of policy acquisition costs and other underwriting expenses to premiums earned. The expense ratio of our insurance subsidiaries was ~~36.0%~~35.8% for the ~~second quarter~~first three months of ~~2021,~~2022, compared to ~~34.3%~~34.1% for the ~~second quarter~~first three months of ~~2020.~~2021. The increase in the expense ratio primarily reflected an increase in ~~technology systems-related expenses and higher growth and~~our underwriting-based incentive costs for our agents ~~during the second quarter~~and employees and higher technology system-related expenses due to an increased allocation of ~~2021 compared~~costs from Donegal Mutual to ~~the second quarter of 2020. The expense ratio increase also reflected a reallocation from loss expenses~~our insurance subsidiaries related to ~~underwriting expenses that resulted from the implementation of a new software system during the second quarter of 2021 that enhanced~~ our ~~expense allocation methodology.~~ongoing systems modernization project.

Combined Ratio.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~92.3%~~ 98.5% for the three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, ~~and 2020,~~ respectively. We attribute the ~~increase~~decrease in the combined ratio primarily to ~~an increase in the loss ratio for the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2020.~~

~~Interest Expense.~~

~~Our interest expense for the second quarter of 2021 was $217,290, compared to $428,092 for the second quarter of 2020. We attribute the~~a decrease ~~to lower average borrowings under our lines of credit during the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2020.~~

~~Income Taxes.~~

We recorded income tax expense of $3.5 million for the second quarter of 2021, representing an effective tax rate of 17.9%. We recorded income tax expense of $5.3 million for the second quarter of 2020, representing an effective tax rate of 19.0%. The income tax expense and effective tax rates for the second quarters of 2021 and 2020 represented estimates based on our projected annual taxable income.

~~Net Income and Income Per Share.~~

~~Our net income for the second quarter of 2021 was $16.2 million, or $.53~~

per share of Class A common stock on a diluted basis and $.48 per share of Class B common stock, compared to $22.7 million, or $.79 per share of Class A common stock on a diluted basis and $.72 per share of Class B common stock, for the second quarter of 2020. We had 25.6 million and 23.5 million Class A shares outstanding at June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We had 5.6 million Class B shares outstanding at the end of both periods.

~~Results of Operations - Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2020~~

~~Net Premiums Earned.~~

Our insurance subsidiaries’ net premiums earned for the first half of 2021 were $379.7 million, an increase of $8.1 million, or 2.2%, compared to $371.6 million for the first half of 2020, primarily reflecting the inclusion of the business of the Mountain States Insurance Group in the underwriting pool beginning with policies effective in 2021, as well as new business growth and renewal premium increases.

~~Net Premiums Written.~~

~~Our insurance subsidiaries’ net premiums written for the six months ended~~

June 30, 2021 were $425.5 million, an increase of $33.6 million, or 8.6%, from the $391.9 million of net premiums written for the first half of 2020. Commercial lines net premiums written increased $44.2 million, or 19.3%, for the first half of 2021 compared to the first half of 2020. We attribute the increase in commercial lines net premiums written primarily to the inclusion of the business of the Mountain States Insurance Group in the underwriting pool beginning with policies effective in 2021, as well as new business growth and renewal premium increases. Personal lines net premiums written decreased $10.6 million, or 6.5%, for the first half of 2021 compared to the first half of 2020. We attribute the decrease in personal lines net premiums written primarily to net attrition as a result of measures our insurance subsidiaries have implemented to improve underwriting profitability, partially offset by the impact of premium rate increases our insurance subsidiaries have implemented.

~~Investment Income.~~

Our net investment income was $15.2 million for the first half of 2021, compared to $14.5 million for the first half of 2020. We attribute the increase primarily to an increase in average invested assets.

~~Net Investment Gains (Losses).~~

Net investment gains for the first half of 2021 were $6.7 million, compared to net investment losses of $4.2 million for the first half of 2020. The net investment gains for the first half of 2021 resulted primarily from unrealized gains within our equity securities portfolio at June 30, 2021. The net investment losses for the first half of 2020 resulted primarily from realized losses on sales of equity securities and unrealized losses within our equity securities portfolio due to a decline in equity markets at June 30, 2020. We did not recognize any impairment losses in our investment portfolio during the first half of 2021 or 2020.

~~Losses and Loss Expenses.~~

Our insurance subsidiaries’ loss ratio, which is the ratio of incurred losses and loss expenses to premiums earned, was 61.4% for the first half of 2021, an increase from our insurance subsidiaries’ loss ratio of 59.9% for the first half of 2020. We attribute this increase primarily to elevated fire losses that primarily impacted the loss ratio for our commercial multi-peril line of business. Weather-related losses of $18.6 million for the first half of 2021, or 4.9 percentage points of the loss ratio, decreased from $25.6 million for the first half of 2020, or 6.9 percentage points of the loss ratio. On a statutory basis, our insurance subsidiaries’ commercial lines loss ratio was 61.2% for the first half of 2021, compared to 60.6%

~~Table of Contents~~

for the first half of 2020, primarily due to an increase in the commercial multi-peril loss ratio. The personal lines statutory loss ratio of our insurance subsidiaries increased to 62.4% for the first half of 2021, compared to 59.3% for the first half of 2020. We attribute this increase primarily to an increase in the personal automobile and homeowners’ loss ratios. Our insurance subsidiaries experienced favorable loss reserve development of approximately $21.6 million and $10.9 million during the first half of 2021 and 2020, respectively.

~~Underwriting Expenses.~~

The expense ratio for an insurance company is the ratio of policy acquisition costs and other underwriting expenses to premiums earned. The expense ratio of our insurance subsidiaries was 35.1% for the first half of 2021, compared to 33.8% for the first half of 2020. The increase in the expense ratio primarily reflected an increase in technology systems-related expenses, higher agency growth incentive and underwriting-based incentive costs for our agents during the first half of 2021 compared to the first half of 2020.

~~Combined Ratio.~~

The combined ratio represents the sum of the loss ratio, the expense ratio and the dividend ratio, which is the ratio of policyholder dividends incurred to premiums earned. Our insurance subsidiaries’ combined ratios were 97.3% and 94.7% for the first half of 2021 and 2020, respectively. We attribute the increase in the combined ratio primarily to an increase in the loss ratio for the first ~~half~~three months of ~~2021~~2022 compared to the first ~~half~~three months of ~~2020.~~2021.

Our interest expense for the first ~~half~~three months of ~~2021~~2022 was ~~$529,616,~~$153,033, compared to ~~$652,422~~$312,326 for the first ~~half~~three months of ~~2020.~~2021. We attribute the decrease to lower average borrowings under our lines of credit during the first ~~half~~three months of ~~2021~~2022 compared to the first ~~half~~three months of ~~2020.~~2021.

Income ~~Taxes.~~

Tax Expense.We recorded income tax expense of ~~$5.8~~ $3.1million for the first ~~half~~three months of 2022, representing an effective tax rate of 19.0% We recorded income tax expense of $2.2 million for the first three months of 2021, representing an effective tax rate of ~~17.7%. We recorded income tax expense of $4.1 million for the first half of 2020, representing an effective tax rate of 13.4%~~17.4%. The income tax expense ~~and effective tax rate~~ for the first ~~half~~three months of 2022 and 2021 represented ~~an estimate~~estimates based on our projected annual taxable ~~income.

Net Income and Income Per Share.

Our net income for the first ~~half~~three months of ~~2021~~2022 was ~~$26.7~~$13.1 million, or ~~$.88~~

$.43 per share of Class A common stock on a diluted basis and ~~$.80~~$.39 per share of Class B common stock, compared to ~~$26.4~~net income of $10.5 million, or ~~$.92~~$.35 per share of Class A common stock on a diluted basis and ~~$.84~~$.32 per share of Class B common stock, for the first ~~half~~three months of ~~2020.~~2021. We had ~~25.6~~25.8 million and ~~23.5~~25.0 million Class A shares outstanding at ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, ~~and 2020,~~ respectively. We had 5.6 million Class B shares outstanding at the end of both periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is a measure of an entity’s ability to secure enough cash to meet its contractual obligations and operating needs as such obligations and needs arise. Our major sources of funds from operations are the net cash flows we generate from our insurance subsidiaries’ underwriting results, investment income and investment maturities.

Our operations have historically generated sufficient net positive cash flow to fund our commitments and add to our investment portfolio, thereby increasing future investment returns and enhancing our liquidity. The impact of the pooling agreement between Donegal Mutual and Atlantic States has historically been cash-flow positive because of the consistent underwriting profitability of the pool. Donegal Mutual and Atlantic States settle their respective obligations to each other under the pool monthly, thereby resulting in cash flows substantially similar to the cash flows that would result from each company writing the business directly. We have not experienced any unusual variations in the timing of claim payments associated with the loss reserves of our insurance subsidiaries. We maintain significant liquidity in our investment portfolio in the form of readily marketable fixed maturities, equity securities and short-term investments. We structure our fixed-maturity investment portfolio following a “laddering” approach, so that projected cash flows from investment income and principal maturities are evenly distributed from a timing perspective, thereby providing an additional measure of liquidity to meet our obligations

~~Table of Contents~~

should an unexpected variation occur in the future. Our operating activities provided net cash flows in the first ~~six~~three months of 2022 and 2021 ~~and 2020~~ of ~~$59.2~~ $20.7million and ~~$48.0~~$29.9 million, respectively.

At ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we had no outstanding borrowings under our line of credit with M&T and had the ability to borrow up to $20.0 million at interest rates equal to the then-current LIBOR rate plus 2.00%. At ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, Atlantic States had a $35.0 million in outstanding ~~advances~~advance with the FHLB of Pittsburgh that ~~carry~~carries a fixed interest rate of 1.74%.

We estimate the timing of claim payments associated with the liabilities for losses and loss expenses of our insurance subsidiaries based on historical experience and expectations of future payment patterns. We show these liabilities net of reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses and loss expenses to reflect expected future cash flows related to such liabilities. Amounts Atlantic States assumes pursuant to the pooling agreement with Donegal Mutual represent a substantial portion of our insurance subsidiaries’ gross liabilities for losses and loss expenses, and amounts Atlantic States cedes pursuant to the pooling agreement represent a substantial portion of our insurance subsidiaries’ reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses and loss expenses. We include cash settlement of Atlantic States’ assumed liabilities from the pool in monthly settlements of pooled activity, as we net amounts ceded to and assumed from the pool. Although Donegal Mutual and we do not anticipate any changes in the pool participation levels in the foreseeable future, any such change would be prospective in nature and therefore would not impact the timing of expected payments by Atlantic States for its percentage share of pooled losses occurring in periods prior to the effective date of such change.

We discuss in Note 7 – Borrowings our estimate of the timing of the amounts payable for the borrowings under our lines of credit based on their contractual maturities.

We discuss in Note 7 – Borrowings our estimate of the timing of the amounts payable for the subordinated debentures based on their contractual maturity. The subordinated debentures carry an interest rate of 5.00%, and any repayment of principal or payment of interest on the subordinated debentures requires prior approval of the Michigan Department of Insurance and Financial Services. Our annual interest cost associated with the subordinated debentures is $250,000.

On July 18, 2013, our board of directors authorized a share repurchase program pursuant to which we have the authority to purchase up to 500,000 shares of our Class A common stock at prices prevailing from time to time in the open market subject to the provisions of applicable rules of the SEC and in privately negotiated transactions. We did not purchase any shares of our Class A common stock under this program during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 or ~~2020.~~2021. We have purchased a total of 57,658 shares of our Class A common stock under this program from its inception through ~~June 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022.

On ~~July 15, 2021,~~April 21, 2022, our board of directors declared quarterly cash dividends of ~~16.0~~16.50 cents per share of our Class A common stock and ~~14.25~~

14.75cents per share of our Class B common stock, payable on ~~August~~May 16, ~~2021~~2022 to our stockholders of record as of the close of business on ~~August~~May 2, ~~2021.~~2022. We are not subject to any restrictions on our payment of dividends to our stockholders, although there are state law restrictions on the payment of dividends by our insurance subsidiaries to us. Dividends from our insurance subsidiaries are our principal source of cash for payment of dividends to our stockholders. Our insurance subsidiaries are subject to regulations that restrict the payment of dividends from statutory surplus and may require prior approval of their domiciliary insurance regulatory authorities. Our insurance subsidiaries are also subject to risk based capital (“RBC”) requirements that limit their ability to pay dividends to us. Our insurance subsidiaries’ statutory capital and surplus at December 31, ~~2020~~2021 exceeded the amount of statutory capital and surplus necessary to satisfy regulatory requirements, including the RBC requirements, by a significant margin. Our insurance subsidiaries ~~paid $5.0 million in~~did not pay any dividends to us during the first ~~six~~three months of ~~2021.~~2022. Amounts remaining available for distribution to us as dividends from our insurance subsidiaries without prior approval of their domiciliary insurance regulatory authorities in ~~2021~~2022 are ~~$28.0~~$27.9 million from Atlantic States, ~~$300,000~~$6.9 million from Southern, ~~$5.9~~$4.8 million from Peninsula and ~~$12.2~~$7.7 million from MICO, or a total of approximately ~~$46.4~~$47.3 million.

At ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we had no material commitments for capital expenditures.

Equity Price Risk

~~Table of Contents~~

Our portfolio of marketable equity securities, which we carry on our consolidated balance sheets at estimated fair value, has exposure to the risk of loss resulting from an adverse change in prices. We manage this risk by having our investment personnel perform an analysis of prospective investments and regular reviews of our portfolio of equity securities.

Credit Risk

Our portfolio of fixed-maturity securities and, to a lesser extent, our portfolio of short-term investments is subject to credit risk, which we define as the potential loss in market value resulting from adverse changes in the borrower’s ability to repay its debt. We manage this risk by having our investment personnel perform an analysis of prospective investments and regular reviews of our portfolio of fixed-maturity securities. We also limit the percentage and amount of our total investment portfolio that we invest in the securities of any one issuer.

Our insurance subsidiaries provide property and casualty insurance coverages through independent insurance agencies. We bill the majority of this business directly to the insured, although we bill a portion of our commercial business through licensed insurance agents to whom our insurance subsidiaries extend credit in the normal course of business.

Because the pooling agreement does not relieve Atlantic States of primary liability as the originating insurer, Atlantic States is subject to a concentration of credit risk arising from the business it cedes to Donegal Mutual. Our insurance subsidiaries maintain reinsurance agreements with Donegal Mutual and with a number of other major unaffiliated authorized reinsurers.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

~~Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.~~

Our market risk generally represents the risk of gain or loss that may result from the potential change in the fair value of the securities we hold in our investment portfolio as a result of fluctuations in prices and interest rates and, to a lesser extent, our debt obligations. We manage our interest rate risk by maintaining an appropriate relationship between the average duration of our investment portfolio and the approximate duration of our liabilities, i.e., policy claims of our insurance subsidiaries and our debt obligations.

There have been no material changes to our quantitative or qualitative market risk exposure from December 31, ~~2020~~2021 through ~~June 30, 2021.~~

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules

13a-15(e)

and

15d-15(e)

under the Exchange Act). Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, at ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, and our disclosure controls and procedures were also effective to ensure that information we disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Donegal Mutual implemented a new application system that Donegal Mutual and our insurance subsidiaries began to utilize during 2021 for the allocation of expenses and, beginning in 2022, for reinsurance premiums and commissions. The new application system provides for further automation of, and enhanced internal controls over these processes. The implementation of the new system is part of a multi-year accounting systems and process modernization initiative Donegal Mutual is implementing to achieve various benefits for Donegal Mutual and our insurance subsidiaries, including streamlined financial reporting workflows and a more efficient control environment.

~~Table~~Such changes resulted in changes to procedures related to our financial reporting. Prior to the implementation of ~~Contents~~

~~There has been no change~~the new systems, we identified and designed new internal controls that we incorporated into our internal controls over financial reporting. Following the implementation, we validated these new controls according to our established processes. We did not implement these changes in internal controls to respond to any actual or perceived significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial ~~reporting during the quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form~~
