The tax years which remain subject to examination by taxing authorities are the years ended December 31, 2016 2019. Risk and uncertainties: - Use of Estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. - Regulatory Factors: The insurance laws of Kansas, North Dakota, and Montana give insurance regulators broad regulatory authority, including powers to (i) grant and revoke licenses to transact business; (ii) regulate and supervise trade practices and market conduct, (iii) establish guaranty associations; (iv) license agents; (v) approve policy forms; (vi) approve premium rates for some lines of business; (vii) establish reserve requirements; (viii) prescribe the form and content of required financial statements and reports; (ix) determine the reasonableness and adequacy of statutory capital and surplus; and ( x The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Reform Act") reshapes financial regulations in the United States by creating new regulators, regulating new markets and firms, and providing new enforcement powers to regulators. Virtually all major areas of the Reform Act continue to be subject to regulatory interpretation and implementation rules requiring rulemaking that may - Reinsurance: In order to manage the risk of financial exposure to adverse underwriting results, the Company reinsures a portion of its individual and group life risks with other insurance companies. The Company retains $35,000 $25,000 100% 25% $100,000 25% $25,000 three 90% 66% not - Interest Rate Risk: Interest rate fluctuations could impair an insurance company's ability to pay policyholder benefits with operating and investment cash flows, cash on hand and other cash sources. Annuity products expose the risk that changes in interest rates will reduce any spread, or the difference between the amounts that the insurance company is required to pay under the contracts and the amounts the insurance subsidiary is able to earn on its investments intended to support its obligations under the contracts. Spread is a key component of revenues. To the extent that interest rates credited are less than those generally available in the marketplace, policyholder lapses, policy loans and surrenders, and withdrawals of life insurance policies and annuity contracts may may may Increases in market interest rates may may If interest rates were to increase by 1%, 9.4% December 31, 2019. may Conversely, in a period of prolonged low interest rates it is difficult to invest assets and earn the rate of return necessary to support insurance products. Some central banks currently have negative interest rates which contributes to the current low interest rate environment. Policy lapses in excess of those actuarially anticipated would have a negative impact on our financial performance. Profitability could be reduced if lapse and surrender rates exceed the assumptions upon which the insurance policies were priced. Policy sales costs are deferred and recognized over the life of a policy. Excess policy lapses, however, cause the immediate expensing or amortizing of deferred policy sales costs. - Investment Risk: Our invested assets are subject to customary risks of defaults and changes in market values. Factors that may - Assumptions Risk: In the life insurance business, assumptions as to expected mortality, lapse rates and other factors in developing the pricing and other terms of life insurance products are made. These assumptions are based on industry experience and are reviewed and revised regularly by an outside actuary to reflect actual experience on a current basis. However, variation of actual experience from that assumed in developing such terms may Reclassifications no New accounting standards Revenue from Contracts with Customers In May 2014, not not 2019 2018.

Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block] | Note 4. The fair value of an asset or liability is the price that would be received to sell that asset or paid to transfer that liability in an orderly transaction occurring in the principal market (or most advantageous market in the absence of a principal market) for such asset or liability. In estimating fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. Such valuation techniques are consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques include the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The Company uses a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows: ● Level 1 ● Level 2 1 ● Level 3 Investments , available for sale third third The table below presents the amounts of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2019 2018: December 31, 2019 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Available for sale: Fixed maturities: US Treasury securities $ 632,639 $ 632,639 $ - $ - Corporate bonds 20,084,397 - 19,892,797 191,600 Municipal bonds 7,055,059 - 7,055,059 - Redeemable preferred stock 2,133,893 - 2,133,893 - Mortgage backed and asset backed securities 3,246,904 - 3,246,904 - Total fixed maturities 33,152,892 632,639 32,328,653 191,600 Equities: Common stock 9,214,694 9,169,694 45,000 - Preferred stock 926,809 - 926,809 - Total equities 10,141,503 9,169,694 971,809 - Total $ 43,294,395 $ 9,802,333 $ 33,300,462 $ 191,600 December 31, 2018 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Available for sale: Fixed maturities: US Treasury securities $ 569,940 $ 569,940 $ - $ - Corporate bonds 15,842,361 - 15,642,361 200,000 Municipal bonds 6,598,113 - 6,598,113 - Redeemable preferred stock 192,404 - 192,404 - Mortgage backed and asset backed securities 3,780,985 - 3,780,985 - Total fixed maturities 26,983,803 569,940 26,213,863 200,000 Equities: Common stock 10,735,935 10,735,935 - Preferred stock 150,040 - 150,040 Total equities 10,885,975 10,735,935 150,040 - Total $ 37,869,778 $ 11,305,875 $ 26,363,903 $ 200,000 The Company discloses the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not Cash and cash equivalents Investment income due and accrued: Policy loans Federal Home Loan Bank advance Policyholder deposits in deposit- type contracts The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities at December 31 December 31, 2019 Carrying Value Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Financial Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 6,678,805 $ 6,678,805 $ 6,678,805 $ - $ - Investment income due and accrued 321,362 321,362 - - 321,362 Policy loans 118,930 118,930 - - 118,930 Total Financial Assets (excluding available for sale investments) $ 7,119,097 $ 7,119,097 $ 6,678,805 $ - $ 440,292 Financial Liabilities: Policyholder deposits in deposit-type contracts $ 19,396,614 $ 19,186,265 $ - - $ 19,186,265 Federal Home Loan Bank advance 1,000,000 1,000,000 - - 1,000,000 Total Financial Liabilities $ 20,396,614 $ 20,186,265 $ - - $ 20,186,265 December 31, 2018 Carrying Value Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Financial Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 2,077,646 $ 2,077,646 $ 2,077,646 $ - $ - Investment income due and accrued 286,890 286,890 - 286,980 Policy loans 56,539 56,539 - - 56,539 Total Financial Assets (excluding available for sale investments) $ 2,241,075 $ 2,241,075 $ 2,077,646 $ - $ 343,519 Financial Liabilities: Policyholder deposits in deposit-type contracts $ 16,626,218 $ 15,361,164 $ - $ - $ 15,361,164 Total Financial Liabilities $ 16,626,218 $ 15,361,164 $ - $ - $ 15,361,164 |

Risk and Uncertainties, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Risk and uncertainties: - Use of Estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. - Regulatory Factors: The insurance laws of Kansas, North Dakota, and Montana give insurance regulators broad regulatory authority, including powers to (i) grant and revoke licenses to transact business; (ii) regulate and supervise trade practices and market conduct, (iii) establish guaranty associations; (iv) license agents; (v) approve policy forms; (vi) approve premium rates for some lines of business; (vii) establish reserve requirements; (viii) prescribe the form and content of required financial statements and reports; (ix) determine the reasonableness and adequacy of statutory capital and surplus; and ( x The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Reform Act") reshapes financial regulations in the United States by creating new regulators, regulating new markets and firms, and providing new enforcement powers to regulators. Virtually all major areas of the Reform Act continue to be subject to regulatory interpretation and implementation rules requiring rulemaking that may - Reinsurance: In order to manage the risk of financial exposure to adverse underwriting results, the Company reinsures a portion of its individual and group life risks with other insurance companies. The Company retains $35,000 $25,000 100% 25% $100,000 25% $25,000 three 90% 66% not - Interest Rate Risk: Interest rate fluctuations could impair an insurance company's ability to pay policyholder benefits with operating and investment cash flows, cash on hand and other cash sources. Annuity products expose the risk that changes in interest rates will reduce any spread, or the difference between the amounts that the insurance company is required to pay under the contracts and the amounts the insurance subsidiary is able to earn on its investments intended to support its obligations under the contracts. Spread is a key component of revenues. To the extent that interest rates credited are less than those generally available in the marketplace, policyholder lapses, policy loans and surrenders, and withdrawals of life insurance policies and annuity contracts may may may Increases in market interest rates may may If interest rates were to increase by 1%, 9.4% December 31, 2019. may Conversely, in a period of prolonged low interest rates it is difficult to invest assets and earn the rate of return necessary to support insurance products. Some central banks currently have negative interest rates which contributes to the current low interest rate environment. Policy lapses in excess of those actuarially anticipated would have a negative impact on our financial performance. Profitability could be reduced if lapse and surrender rates exceed the assumptions upon which the insurance policies were priced. Policy sales costs are deferred and recognized over the life of a policy. Excess policy lapses, however, cause the immediate expensing or amortizing of deferred policy sales costs. - Investment Risk: Our invested assets are subject to customary risks of defaults and changes in market values. Factors that may - Assumptions Risk: In the life insurance business, assumptions as to expected mortality, lapse rates and other factors in developing the pricing and other terms of life insurance products are made. These assumptions are based on industry experience and are reviewed and revised regularly by an outside actuary to reflect actual experience on a current basis. However, variation of actual experience from that assumed in developing such terms may |
