Notes to Combined Financial Statements

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of the Company

Total Care Auto, Powered by Landcar (“TCA”) is made up of two different entities: Landcar Agency, Inc. (“LCA”), and Landcar Casualty Company (“LCC”).

The combined financial statements presented herein contain the accounts of both of these entities. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in combination.

TCA offers extended vehicle service contracts, prepaid maintenance contracts, vehicle theft assistance contracts, key replacement contracts, guaranteed asset protection (“GAP”) contracts, paintless dent repair contracts, appearance protection contracts, tire and wheel, Anti-bacterial, and lease wear and tear contracts. In addition, TCA provides the required contractual liability insurance if needed. The majority of these warranty contracts are sold through affiliated automobile dealerships.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying combined financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) using the accrual method of accounting. All income is recorded when earned and all expenses are recorded when incurred regardless of when such amounts are received or paid.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of combined financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent asset s and liabilities at the date of the combined financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the reserve for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses, unearned premiums, collectability of the notes receivables and mortgage loans, and fair value of investments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with a maturity date of three months or less at the time of purchase and are stated at cost, which approximates fair market value. TCA maintains cash balances in demand deposits and money market funds in which the carrying amount approximates fair value.

Short-term investments

Short-term investments are made up of bonds with a maturity date of more than three months, but less than 12 months. These holdings are stated at cost, which approximates fair market value.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Restricted Cash and Securities

TCA places securities on statutory deposit with certain state agencies to retain the right to do business in those states.

Premiums Receivable/Bad Debts

Receivables are recorded when invoices are issued and are presented in the balance sheet net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Receivables are written off when they are determined to be uncollectible. TCA believes no allowance for doubtful accounts is necessary as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Investment Securities

Bonds and treasury instruments at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 consist of held-to-maturity securities and available-for-sale securities.

Held-to-maturity securities are reported at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts that are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity. A portion of the bonds are classified as available-for-sale securities. Available-for-sale securities are reported at market value.

Declines in the fair value of individual held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost that are other than temporary would result in write-downs of the individual securities to their fair value. The related write-downs would be included in earnings as realized losses. During the 2021 and 2020 fiscal years, no such write-downs were noted.

Equity securities are made up of preferred and common stock. These are reported at market value with the change in value being recognized in net income.

Cost Method Investments

During 2012, LCA invested in Mercato Partners Growth II GP, LLC and has accounted for it using the cost method in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC- 323), Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company received distributions from the fund related to the investment performance of the assets held. The carrying value of this investment as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $0 and $197,421, respectively. Management performs an annual assessment of these investments for impairment.

Mortgages and Notes Receivable

Mortgage loans and notes receivable are carried at the outstanding principal balances with an allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts, if any.

Deferred Acquisition Costs

Direct expenses paid for the acquisition of contracts on which revenue has been received but not yet earned have been deferred and are amortized over the related contract period.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at cost at the time of purchase and depreciated over the useful life of the assets using the straight-line depreciation method. Acquisitions of under $5,000 are expensed in the year purchased. The estimated useful lives for the various asset classes are as follows:

Depreciation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 amounted to $692,499 and $665,069 respectively.

Costs of software developed for internal use are capitalized in a work in progress account until the project has been placed in service. Depreciation begins once the project has been placed in service.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Unearned Premiums

Revenue is earned over the period of the related warranty contract. Accordingly, TCA records a deferred revenue reserve to ratably recognize revenue over the contract period.

Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserve

Losses and loss adjustment expense reserves represent management’s best estimate of the ultimate net cost of all reported and unreported losses incurred through September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. TCA does not discount liabilities for unpaid losses or unpaid loss adjustment expense reserves. The reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses are estimated using individual case-basis valuations and statistical analysis. Those estimates are subject to the effects of trends in loss severity and frequency. Although considerable variability is inherent in such estimates, management believes the reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses are adequate. The estimates are continually reviewed and adjusted as necessary as experience develops or new information becomes known; such adjustments are included in current operations.

Claims are counted when incidents that may result in a liability are reported and are based on policy coverage.

Revenue Recognition

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted new FASB guidance contained in ASU 2014-09, Revenue Recognition (Topic 606): Revenue from Contracts with Customers, using the modified retrospective method applied to all active contracts. This standard revises the criteria for revenue recognition. Under the new guidance, the transaction price is attributed to the underlying performance obligations in the contract and revenue is deferred and recognized as income as the Company satisfies the performance obligations in the contract as the obligations under the contracts are performed. Under the new guidance, revenue is recognized more slowly as compared to the historic revenue recognition pattern. Incremental costs of obtaining a contract are capitalized and amo rtized to the extent the Company expects to recover those costs. The Company considers all revenue other than investment and interest income to be the result of contracts with customers. Each contract is considered to have one performance obligation which extends over the life of the contract. The method for recognizing revenue for the various types of contracts is described in the following paragraphs. Expenses are matched with earned premiums resulting in recognition of profits over the life of the contracts. Unearned premium reserves are established to cover the unexpired portion of premiums written.

Revenue Recognition (Continued)

Earnings methods are assigned based on contract type and expected claim patterns and consist of the pro-rata, rule of 78’s, and reverse rule of 78’s methods. GAP insurance unearned premium reserve is calculated by the rule of 78’s. The other contracts are earned ratably over the contract period.

Extended vehicle service contracts are earned ratably over the contract based on historical claims payment patterns for TCA.

The Company receives monthly retrospective commissions from third party vendors. These commissions are earned when received and are reported as other income on the statement of income and comprehensive income.

Revenue from service and licensing fees is earned monthly as it is received.

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed account s receivables, contract assets (reported as deferred acquisition costs) and contract liabilities (reported as unearned premium) on the Company’s balance sheets. Balances as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were as follows:

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Income Taxes

LCC accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes. FASB ASC 740 is an asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax and financial reporting basis of certain assets and liabilities. LCC has deferred tax assets and liabilities principally from differences in the methods of accounting for reserves, unamortized acquisition costs and unrealized gain and losses on common and preferred stock.

LCA has elected under IRC Section 1362 to be an S-Corporation. In lieu of corporation income taxes, the stockholders of an S-Corporation are taxed on their proportionate share of LCA’s taxable income.

TCA accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with provisions of FASB ASC 740. Management has determined that TCA does not have any uncertain tax positions and associated unrecognized benefits that materially impact the financial statements or related disclosures. Since tax matters are subject to some degree of uncertainty, there can be no assurance that TCA’s tax returns will not be challenged by the taxing authorities and that TCA or their shareholders will not be subject to additional tax, penalties, and interest as a result of such challenge. Generally, LCA’s and LCC’s tax returns remain open for three years for federal and state income tax examination.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject TCA to concentrations of credit risk, consist of temporary cash investments, fixed maturity securities, mortgage loans, notes receivables and other investments.

TCA maintains interest bearing accounts at a financial institution. The accounts at this institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000. TCA’s total cash exceeded the insurance limit as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risks relating to its cash accounts.

TCA invests in money market funds that are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. Although a money market fund seeks to preserve the value of an investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, TCA held $6,211,848 and $3,498,838 in money market funds, respectively.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

TCA categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a three -level hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique used to determine fair value in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). Assets and liabilities valued at fair value are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1 – Inputs that utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access.

Level 2 – Inputs that include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Fair values for these instruments are estimated using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows.

Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity.

Subsequent to initial recognition, TCA may remeasure the carrying value of assets and liabilities measured on a nonrecurring basis to fair value. Adjustments to fair value usually result when certain assets are impaired. Such assets are written down from their carrying amounts to their fair value.

Comprehensive Income

TCA presents comprehensive income in accordance with the standards establish ed by the Comprehensive Income topic of FASB ASC 220. Comprehensive income consists of net income and net unrealized gains or losses on debt securities and is presented in the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity and statement of comprehensive income.

COVID-19 Uncertainties

The COVID-19 pandemic has not had a significant impact on the Company’s underwriting results and the Company does not expect it to going forward.

2.     RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In March of 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which requires all leases that have a term of more than 12 months to be recognized as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet at inception. A lessee would recognize a lease liability to make lease payments owed to a lessor (liability) and a benefit for the right to use the leased asset (asset) for the lease term. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee would depend on whether the les see is expected to consume more than an insignificant portion of the economic benefits embedded in the underlying asset. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. TCA does not anticipate a significant impact on TCA’s results of operations, financial position, or cash flows as a result of this new standard.

In June of 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016 -13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, which requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. This requirement eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold in Current GAAP which has delayed recognition of credit losses until the loss was probable. Instead, the new treatment will better reflect an entity’s current estimate of all expected credit losses. In addition, the new guidance requires that any credit losses on available -for-sale debt securities to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down. Initial allowance for credit losses is added to the purchase price rather than reported as a credit loss expense. Subsequent changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded in credit loss expense. This will allow entities to also record reversals of credit losses in current period net income, whereas the current GAAP prohibits reflecting these improvements in current period earnings. This guidance will become effective for the Company’s year ending on December 31, 2023. The Company does not expect a significant impact to the Company’s financials as a result of this guidance.

INVESTMENTS (Continued)

On a regular basis, TCA reviews its investment portfolios for securities in an unrealized loss position for other-than-temporary impairment. This review for potential impairment is performed on a specific identification basis and requires significant management judgment related to a number of qualitative and quantitative factors including the severity o f the impairment, the duration of the impairment, recent trends and expected market performance. Management considers all unrealized losses as of September 30, 2021 to be temporary. The securities summarized below were in an unrealized loss position for which other-than-temporary declines in value have not been recognized as of September 30, 2021.

CAPITAL AND SURPLUS

The State of Utah has adopted the National Association of Insurance Commissioner’s (“NAIC”) risk-based capital (“RBC”) calculation to evaluate the minimum capital requirements for an insurance company to support its overall business operations in consideration of its size and risk profile. LCC’s risk-based capital is calculated by applying factors to various asset, premium, and reserve items.

The RBC requirements provide for four different levels of regulatory attention depending on the ratio of LCC’s total adjusted capital (“TAC”) to its authorized control level (“ACL”). The four regulatory attention levels (and the associated percentage of TAC to ACL) are defined as follows: (1) Company Action (200%), (2) Regulatory Action (150%), (3) Authorized Control (100%), and (4) Mandatory Control Levels (75%). As of September 30, 2021 and December 31 2020, LCC and LCL maintained TAC in excess of 200% of ACL.

LCA’s common stock has no par value with 10,000 shares authorized of which 1,000 shares are issued and outstanding. LCC’s common stock has a $5 par value with 1,000,000 shares authorized of which 500,000 shares are issued and outstanding.
