Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2026, which has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements, and the unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of UTG, Inc. (the "Parent") and its subsidiaries (collectively with the Parent, the "Company"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for audited annual financial statements. The information furnished includes all adjustments and accruals of a normal recurring nature, which in the opinion of Management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein and these related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements, and the notes thereto, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company's results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026 or for any other future period.
This document at times will refer to the Registrant's largest shareholder, Mr. Jesse T. Correll and certain companies controlled by Mr. Correll. Mr. Correll holds a majority ownership of First Southern Funding, LLC ("FSF"), a Kentucky corporation, and First Southern Bancorp, Inc. ("FSBI"), a financial services holding company. FSBI operates through its 95% indirectly owned subsidiary bank, First Southern National Bank ("FSNB"). Banking activities are conducted through multiple locations within south-central and western Kentucky. Mr. Correll is Chief Executive Officer, President, and Chairman of the Board of Directors of UTG and is currently UTG's largest shareholder through his ownership control of FSF, FSBI and affiliates. At June 30, 2026, Mr. Correll owns or controls directly and indirectly approximately 70% of UTG's outstanding stock.
UTG's life insurance subsidiary has several wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. The subsidiaries were formed to hold certain real estate and other investments. The investments were placed into the limited liability companies and partnerships to provide additional protection to the policyholders and to UG.
Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.
Subsequent Events - Management has evaluated subsequent events for recognition and disclosure in the consolidated financial statements through the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. The Company did not identify any subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure.

By insurance statute, the majority of the Company's investment portfolio is invested in investment grade securities to provide ample protection for policyholders.
Below investment grade debt securities generally provide higher yields and involve greater risks than investment grade debt securities because their issuers typically are more highly leveraged and more vulnerable to adverse economic conditions than investment grade issuers. In addition, the trading market for these securities is usually more limited than for investment grade debt securities. Debt securities classified as below-investment grade are those that receive a Standard & Poor's rating of BB+ or below.
The Company held below investment grade investments with an estimated market value of $0 as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Allowance for Credit Loss - Available for Sale Securities
Management considers a wide range of factors about the security issuer and uses its best judgment in evaluating the cause of the decline in the estimated fair value of the security and in assessing the prospects for near-term recovery. Inherent in management's evaluation of the security are assumptions and estimates about the operations of the issuer and its future earnings potential. Considerations used in the credit loss evaluation process include, but are not limited to: (1) the extent to which the estimated fair value has been below amortized cost, (2) adverse conditions specifically related to a security, an industry sector, adverse change in the financial condition of the issuer of the security, (3) payment structure of the security and likelihood of the issuer being able to make payments, (4) failure of the issuer to make scheduled interest and principal payments, (5) whether the issuer, or series of issuers or an industry has suffered a catastrophic loss or has exhausted natural resources, (6) whether the Company has the intent to sell or will more likely than not be required to sell a particular security before the decline in estimated fair value below amortized cost recovers, (7) changes in the rating of the security by a rating agency, and (8) other subjective factors.
Substantially all of the unrealized losses on fixed maturity securities at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are attributable to changes in market interest rates and general disruptions in the credit market subsequent to purchase. At June 30, 2026, the Company did not intend to sell its securities in an unrealized loss position, and it was not more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell these securities before the anticipated recovery of the remaining amortized cost. Therefore, the Company concluded that these securities had not incurred a credit loss and should not have an allowance for credit loss at June 30, 2026.
Future provisions for credit loss will depend primarily on economic fundamentals, issuer performance, and changes in credit ratings.
Net unrealized losses included in other comprehensive income (loss) for investments classified as available-for-sale, net of the effect of deferred income taxes, assuming that the depreciation had been realized as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

Cost Method Equity Investments
The Company held equity investments with an aggregate cost of $13,332,382 and $20,510,250 at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. These equity investments were not reported at fair value because it is not practicable to estimate their fair values due to insufficient information being available. Management reviews and considers events or changes in circumstances that might have a significant adverse effect on the reported value of those investments. Management did not identify any events or changes in circumstances that might have a significant adverse effect on the reported value of those investments.
Mortgage Loans
The Company, from time to time, acquires mortgage loans through participation agreements with FSNB. FSNB has been able to provide the Company with additional expertise and experience in underwriting commercial and residential mortgage loans, which provide more attractive yields than the traditional bond market. The Company is able to receive participations from FSNB for three primary reasons: 1) FSNB has already reached its maximum lending limit to a single borrower, but the borrower is still considered a suitable risk; 2) the interest rate on a particular loan may be fixed for a long period that is more suitable for UG given its asset-liability structure; and 3) FSNB's loan growth might at times outpace its deposit growth, resulting in FSNB participating such excess loan growth rather than turning customers away. For originated loans, the Company's Management is responsible for the final approval of such loans after evaluation. Before a new loan is issued, the applicant is subject to certain criteria set forth by Company Management to ensure quality control. These criteria include, but are not limited to, a credit report, personal financial information such as outstanding debt, sources of income, and personal equity. Once the loan is approved, the Company directly funds the loan to the borrower. The Company bears all risk of loss associated with the terms of the mortgage with the borrower.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company acquired $14,579,860 and $985,812 in mortgage loans, respectively. FSNB services the majority of the Company's mortgage loan portfolio. The Company pays FSNB a 0.25% servicing fee on these loans and a one-time fee at loan origination of 0.50% of the original loan cost to cover costs incurred by FSNB relating to the processing and establishment of the loan.
During 2026 and 2025, the maximum and minimum lending rates for mortgage loans were:
2026 2025
Maximum rate Minimum rate Maximum rate Minimum rate
Farm Loans 8.00 % 8.00 % 8.00 % 8.00 %
Commercial Loans 10.00 % 4.40 % 10.00 % 4.40 %
Residential Loans 5.00 % 4.15 % 5.00 % 4.15 %
Most mortgage loans are first position loans. Loans issued are generally limited to no more than 80% of the appraised value of the property.
The Company has in place a monitoring system to provide Management with information regarding potential troubled loans. Letters are sent to each mortgagee when the loan becomes 30 days or more delinquent. Management is provided with a monthly listing of loans that are 60 days or more past due. All loans 90 days or more past due are placed on a non-performing status and classified as delinquent loans. Quarterly, coinciding with external financial reporting, the Company reviews each delinquent loan and determines how each delinquent loan should be classified. Management believes the current internal controls surrounding the mortgage loan selection process provide a quality portfolio with minimal risk of foreclosure and/or negative financial impact.
Changes in the current economy could have a negative impact on the loans, including the financial stability of the borrowers, the borrowers' ability to pay or to refinance, the value of the property held as collateral and the ability to find purchasers at favorable prices. Interest accruals are analyzed based on the likelihood of repayment. In no event will interest continue to accrue when accrued interest along with the outstanding principal exceeds the net realizable value of the property. The Company does not utilize a specified number of days delinquent to cause an automatic non-accrual status.
The following table summarizes the mortgage loan holdings of the Company:

There were no past due loans as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Notes Receivable
Notes receivable represent collateral loans and promissory notes issued by the Company and are reported at their unpaid principal balances, adjusted for valuation allowances. Interest accruals are analyzed based on the likelihood of repayment. The Company does not utilize a specified number of days delinquent to cause an automatic non-accrual status. During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 the Company acquired $0 and $1,318,133 of notes receivable, respectively.
Before a new note is issued, the applicant is subject to certain criteria set forth by Company Management to ensure quality control. Once the note is approved, the Company directly funds the note to the borrower. One of the notes has a participation agreement in place, whereas the Company has reduced its investment in the note receivable by participating a portion of the note to a third party.
Similar to the mortgage loans, FSNB services the notes receivable. The Company, and the participants in the notes, share in the risk of loss associated with the terms of the note with the borrower, based upon their ownership percentage in the note. The Company has in place a monitoring system to provide Management with information regarding potential troubled loans.
The following is a summary of the notes receivable outstanding and the related allowance for credit losses:
June 30, 2026 December 31, 2025
Notes receivable $ 4,410,721 $ 8,843,417
Less allowance for credit losses (70,000 ) (135,000 )
Total notes receivable, net $ 4,340,721 $ 8,708,417
Allowance for Credit Loss - Loans
The allowance for credit loss ("ACL") is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans' amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loans are charged off against the allowance when Management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off.
The ACL represents Management's estimate of lifetime credit losses inherent in loans as of the balance sheet date. The allowance for credit losses is estimated by Management using relevant available information, from both internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.
The Company measures expected credit losses for loans on a pooled basis when similar risk characteristics exist. The Company has identified the following portfolio segments - mortgage loans on real estate and notes receivable.
The ACL calculation includes subjective adjustments for qualitative risk factors that are likely to cause estimated credit losses to differ from historical experience. These qualitative adjustments may increase or reduce reserve levels and include adjustments for risk tolerance, loan review and audit results, asset quality and portfolio trends, industry concentrations, external factors and economic conditions.
Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. When Management determines that foreclosure is probable and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, the expected credit losses are based on the fair value of collateral at the reporting date unadjusted for selling costs as appropriate.
Allowance for Credit Loss - Unfunded Commitments
Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit issued to meet customer financing needs. The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for off-balance sheet loan commitments is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.
The Company records an allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures, unless the commitments to extend credit are unconditionally cancelable, through a charge to provision for unfunded commitments in the Company's income statements. The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is estimated by loan segment at each balance sheet date under the current expected credit loss model using the same methodologies as portfolio loans, taking into consideration the likelihood that funding will occur as well a any third-party guarantees.The allowance for unfunded commitments as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $25,000 and $30,000, respectively, and is included in other liabilities on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Allowance for Credit Loss - Accrued Interest
Accrued interest is not included in the ACL and if deemed uncollectible, it is charged against interest income when determined to be uncollectible.

Investment Real Estate
Real estate held-for-investment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis for financial reporting purposes using estimated useful lives of 3 to 30 years. The Company periodically reviews its real estate held-for-investment for impairment and tests for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, no impairments were recognized on the investment real estate.

Note 4 - Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are measured and classified in accordance with a fair value hierarchy consisting of three levels based on the observability of valuation inputs:
Level 1 - Valuation is based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 - Valuation methodologies include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or the Company may use various valuation techniques or pricing models that use observable inputs to measure fair value.
Level 3 - Valuation is based upon unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company's own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
The following table presents information about assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicates the level of the fair value measurement based on the observability of the inputs used:

Total assets included in the fair value hierarchy exclude certain equity securities that were measured at estimated fair value using the net asset value ("NAV") per share practical expedient. At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the estimated fair value of such investments was $115,868,764 and $95,553,354, respectively. These investments are generally not readily redeemable by the investee.
The following is a description of the valuation techniques used the by Company to measure assets reported at fair value on a recurring basis. There have been no significant changes in the valuation techniques utilized by the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Available for Sale Securities
Securities classified as available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Securities classified as Level 1 utilized fair value measurements based upon quoted market prices, when available. If quoted market prices are not available, the Company obtains fair value measurements from recently executed transactions, market price quotations, benchmark yields and issuer spreads to value Level 2 securities. In certain instances where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy. Fair value determinations for Level 3 measurements are estimated on a quarterly basis where assumptions used are reviewed to ensure the estimated fair value complies with accounting standards generally accepted in the United States.
Equity Securities at Fair Value
Equity securities consist of common and preferred stocks and limited liability companies mainly in private equity investments, financial institutions and publicly traded corporations. Equity securities for which there is sufficient market data are categorized as Level 1 or 2 in the fair value hierarchy. For the equity securities in which quoted market prices are not available, the Company uses industry standard pricing methodologies, including discounted cash flow models that may incorporate various inputs such as payment expectations, risk of the investment, market data, and health of the underlying company. The inputs are based upon Management's assumptions and available market information. When evidence is believed to support a change to the carrying value from the transaction price, adjustments are made to reflect the expected cash flows, material events and market data. These investments are included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Change in Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The following table presents the changes in Level 3 equity securities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, and the realized and unrealized gains related to the Level 3 equity securities.

Balance at June 30, 2026 $ 3,661,683 $ 81,109,375 $ 84,771,058
Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair values of positions classified in Level 3 in the table above. As a result, the unrealized gains (losses) on instruments held at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable and unobservable inputs.
Assets and liabilities are transferred into Level 3 when a significant input cannot be corroborated with market observable data. This occurs when market activity decreases significantly and underlying inputs cannot be observed, current prices are not available, and/or when there are significant variances in quoted prices, thereby affecting transparency. Assets and liabilities are transferred out of Level 3 when circumstances change such that a significant input can be corroborated with market observable data. This may be due to a significant increase in market activity, a specific event, or one or more significant input(s) becoming observable.
Quantitative Information About Level 3 Fair Value Measurements
The following table presents information about the significant unobservable inputs used for recurring fair value measurements for certain Level 3 instruments and includes only those instruments for which information about the inputs is reasonably available to the Company, such as data from independent third-party valuation service providers and from internal valuation models.

Common stocks 3,661,683 3,368,748 Pricing Model
Total $ 84,771,058 $ 89,179,183
Uncertainty of Fair Value Measurements
The significant unobservable inputs used in the determination of the fair value of assets classified as Level 3 have an inherent measurement uncertainty that if changed could result in higher or lower fair value measurements of these assets as of the reporting date.
Equity Securities at Fair Value
Fair market value for equity securities is derived based on unobservable inputs, such as projected normalized revenues and industry standard multiples of revenue for the equity securities valued using pricing model. Significant increases (decreases) in either of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.
Investments in Certain Entities Carried at Fair Value Using Net Asset Value per Share
The Company holds certain equity securities that are measured at estimated fair value using the NAV per share practical expedient. These investments are generally not readily redeemable by the investee. The following tables provide additional information regarding the assets carried at NAV.

The above estimated fair value amounts have been determined based upon the following valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment was required to interpret market data in order to develop these estimates. Accordingly, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts which could be realized in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the fair value amounts.
Certain equity securities are reported at their cost basis, minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. It is not practicable to estimate their fair values due to insufficient information being available.
The fair values of mortgage loans on real estate are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses and interest rates being offered for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings. The inputs used to measure the fair value of our mortgage loans on real estate are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.
The fair values of notes receivable are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses and interest rates being offered for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings. The inputs used to measure the fair value of the notes receivable are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.
Policy loans are carried at the aggregate unpaid principal balances in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets which approximate fair value, and earn interest at rates ranging from 4% to 8%. Individual policy liabilities in all cases equal or exceed outstanding policy loan balances. The inputs used to measure the fair value of our policy loans are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.
The carrying value of accrued investment income approximates its fair value.
The carrying amounts reported for policy claims and benefits payable approximates fair value.

The following table reconciles the net liability for future policy benefits to the liability for future policy benefits in the consolidated balance sheet. The DPL for the limited pay products is presented together with the liability for future policy benefits in the consolidated balance sheet. Furthermore, there is a block of participating policies that was deemed outside the scope of the changes related to the LFPB as a result of ASU 2018-12. Thus this block continues to hold reserves consistent with historical. Lastly, a block that is 100% coinsured to Park Avenue Life Insurance Company (PALIC) was not considered in the roll forwards. The Company continues to hold a gross reserve utilizing an approach consistent with the pre-ASU-2018-12 reserves, with a net liability of zero.

The purpose of the Plan is to enable UTG to attract and retain the types of employees, officers, directors, consultants, and advisors who will contribute to UTG long-range success and to promote the successes of UTG's business through the award of options to purchase shares of common stock of UTG.
The Company's Compensation Committee will administer the Plan with respect to individuals the Board has identified as "Designated Executives" and by the Board with respect to all others eligible to participate in the Plan. The Compensation Committee and the Board are known as the "Governing Committee" of the Plan.
The Company does not currently maintain a formal policy or practice regarding the timing of options in relation to the release of material nonpublic information ("MNPI"), as such, option awards are not part of its executive compensation program. The Company has not timed the disclosure of MNPI for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.
No option shall be exercised more than 10 years after the date such option is granted. The Plan will terminate 10 years from the date of approval by shareholders, unless previously terminated by the Board. After the Plan is terminated, no awards of stock options may be granted but stock options previously awarded will remain outstanding in accordance with their applicable terms and conditions and the Plan's terms and conditions.
The exercise price of incentive stock options granted under the Plan must be at least equal to 100% of the fair market value of the Company's stock at the date of grant. The exercise price must not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the stock at date of grant for incentive stock options granted to an employee that owns greater than 10% of the Company stock.
The following table provides a summary of option activity under the Plan:
Weighted average
Weighted remaining Aggregate
Number of average exercise contractual intrinsic value

(1)
The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying options and the closing price of the common stock for the options that were in the money as of June 30, 2026.
The Company estimates the fair value of options awarded on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires inputs based on certain subjective assumptions, including (i) the expected stock price volatility, (ii) the expected term of the award, (iii) the risk-free interest rate, and (iv) expected dividends. The Company estimates the expected term of options using the simplified method described in Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 14, as amended, as it does not have sufficient historical experience for determining the expected term of the awards granted. Expected volatility is estimated based on the monthly volatility of the Company's stock. The risk-free rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S Treasury yield curve at the date of grant. The expected dividend yield is 0% as the Company has not paid and does not expect to pay cash dividends. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur.
The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for stock options granted were:
2025
Expected volatility 31.90 %
Weighted-average risk-free interest rate 3.84 %
Expected dividend yield 0 %
Expected term (in years) 5.0 - 7.5
The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during 2025 was $18.32 per share. There are no options exercisable under the Plan as of June 30, 2026.
During 2025, the Board of Directors and Compensation Committee granted $1,763,747 of stock options with service-based conditions to certain employees and officers of the Company. Compensation expense related to awards with service requirements is recognized over a straight-line basis based on grant date fair value over the associated service period of the award, which is typically the vesting period. The options granted in 2025 will vest annually over a five-year period.
Total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock options granted under the Plan was $1,469,789 as of June 30, 2026, with the cost expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 4.17 years.
The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense related to stock options of $176,375 and $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Earnings Per Share Calculations
Basic earnings per share ("EPS") are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during each period using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options and stock awards.
The components of basic and diluted EPS were as follows:
Three Months Ended Six Months Ended
June 30, 2026 June 30, 2025 June 30, 2026 June 30, 2025
Basic weighted average shares outstanding 3,138,781 3,153,773 3,140,092 3,155,152
Weighted average dilutive options outstanding 18,852 0 18,291 0
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 3,157,633 3,153,773 3,158,383 3,155,152
Note 8 - Commitments and Contingencies
The insurance industry has experienced a number of civil jury verdicts which have been returned against life and health insurers in the jurisdictions in which the Company does business involving the insurers' sales practices, alleged agent misconduct, failure to properly supervise agents, and other matters. Some of the lawsuits have resulted in the award of substantial judgments against the insurer, including material amounts of punitive damages. In some states, juries have substantial discretion in awarding punitive damages in these circumstances. In the normal course of business, the Company is involved from time to time in various legal actions and other state and federal proceedings. Management is of the opinion that the ultimate disposition of the matters will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or financial position.
Under the insurance guaranty fund laws in most states, insurance companies doing business in a participating state can be assessed up to prescribed limits for policyholder losses incurred by insolvent or failed insurance companies. Although the Company cannot predict the amount of any future assessments, most insurance guaranty fund laws currently provide that an assessment may be excused or deferred if it would threaten an insurer's financial strength. Mandatory assessments may be partially recovered through a reduction in future premium tax in some states. The Company does not believe such assessments will be materially different from amounts already provided for in the consolidated financial statements, though the Company has no control over such assessments.
Mortgage Loan Commitments - The Company commits to lend funds under mortgage loan commitments. The Company had no mortgage loan commitments at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Notes Receivable Commitments - The Company commits to lend funds under notes receivable funding commitments. The amounts of these notes receivable commitments were $625,000 and $625,000 at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Commitments to Fund Limited Liability Company and Limited Partnership Investments - The Company commits to fund investments in limited liability companies and limited partnerships. The amounts of the unfunded commitments were $22,327,977 and $23,174,978 at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Note 9 - Other Cash Flow Disclosures
On a cash basis, the Company paid the following expenses:

Note 10 - Concentrations
The Company maintains cash balances in financial institutions that at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company maintains its primary operating cash accounts with First Southern National Bank, an affiliate of the largest shareholder of UTG, Mr. Jesse Correll, the Company's CEO and Chairman. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
Because UTG serves primarily individuals located in three states, the ability of the Company's customers to pay their insurance premiums is impacted by the economic conditions in these areas. As of June 30, 2026 and 2025, approximately 51% of the Company's total direct premium was collected from Illinois, Ohio, and Texas. Thus, results of operations are heavily dependent upon the strength of these economies.
The Company reinsures that portion of insurance risk which is in excess of its retention limits. Retention limits range up to $125,000 per life. Life insurance ceded represented 20% of total life insurance in force at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Insurance ceded represented 35% and 34% of premium income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company would be liable for the reinsured risks ceded to other companies to the extent that such reinsuring companies are unable to meet their obligations.
The Company owns a variety of investments associated with the oil and gas industry. These investments represent approximately 37% and 35% of the Company's total invested assets as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company owned 4 equity securities that represented approximately 79% and 80%, respectively, of the total investments associated with the oil and gas industry.
The Company's results of operations and financial condition have in the past been, and may in the future be, adversely affected by the degree of certain industry specific concentrations in the Company's investment portfolio. The Company has significant exposure to investments associated with the oil and gas industry. Events or developments that have a negative effect on the oil and gas industry may adversely affect the valuation of our investments in this specific industry. The Company's ability to sell its investments associated with the oil and gas industry may be limited.
Note 11 - Segment Information
The Company is organized into a single reportable segment: insurance distribution. The Company derives its revenue entirely from within the United States and manages business activities on a consolidated basis. The Company's chief operating decision maker is its Chief Executive Officer.
The accounting policies of the insurance distribution segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The chief operating decision maker uses net income or loss, as reported on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, to assess performance and allocate resources for the insurance distribution segment. The significant segment expense categories regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker are the same as those included on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The measure of segment assets is total assets as reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The chief operating decision maker uses net income or loss to assess performance by examining period-over-period trends and monitoring budget versus actual results.
Note 12 - Revision of Previously Issued Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
As disclosed in Note 17 of the December 31, 2025 Form 10-K filing, the Company adopted ASU 2018-12 on December 31, 2025, for the liability for future policy benefits. ASU 2018-12 was adopted on a modified retrospective basis such that the balance for the liability for future policy benefits was adjusted to conform to ASU 2018-12 effective January 1, 2024. With respect to an analysis for market risk benefits, the Company concluded that it had no market-based options or guarantees associated with its liability for policyholders' account balances. Also, the Company does not currently have a deferred acquisition cost asset and did not have such an asset at January 1, 2024.
To improve the consistency and comparability of the 2025 quarterly condensed consolidated financial statements, Management has revised the June 30, 2025 condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures to reflect the implementation.

Overview
UTG, Inc., a Delaware corporation, is a life insurance holding company. The Company's dominant business is individual life insurance, which includes the servicing of existing insurance policies in-force, the acquisition of other companies in the life insurance business, the acquisition of blocks of business and the administration and processing of life insurance business for other entities.
UTG has a strong philanthropic program. The Company generally allocates a portion of its earnings to be used for its philanthropic efforts primarily targeted to Christ-centered organizations or organizations that help the weak or poor. The Company also encourages its staff to be involved on a personal level through monetary giving, volunteerism and use of their talents to assist those less fortunate than themselves. Through these efforts, the Company hopes to make a positive difference in the local community, state, nation and world.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The Company has identified certain estimates that involve a higher degree of judgment and are subject to a significant degree of variability. The Company's critical accounting policies and the related estimates considered most significant by Management are disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Management has identified the accounting policies related to cost of insurance acquired, assumptions and judgments utilized in determining if declines in fair values of investments are other-than-temporary, and valuation methods for investments that are not actively traded as those, due to the judgments, estimates and assumptions inherent in those policies, are critical to an understanding of the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and this Management's Discussion and Analysis.
During the six-months ended June 30, 2026, there were no additions to or changes in the critical accounting policies disclosed in the 2025 Form 10-K.
Results of Operations
On a consolidated basis, the Company reported net income attributable to common shareholders of approximately $29.8 and 11.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company reported net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders of approximately $6.3 and ($1.6) million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Revenues
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, the Company reported total revenues of approximately $50.4 million and for the same period in 2025 total revenues of approximately $25.3 million. The Company reported total revenues of approximately $13.9 million and $3.4 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
The variance in total revenue between second quarter 2026 and 2025 is primarily the result of realized gains and the change in the fair value of equity securities. The Company reported a second quarter 2026 gain in the change in the fair value of equity securities of approximately $2.3 million and a year-to-date 2026 gain of approximately $30.5 million. In 2025, the Company reported a second quarter loss in the change in the fair value of equity securities of approximately $1.3 million and a year-to-date 2025 gain of approximately $15.0 million. The stock markets have experienced volatility in recent periods, which in general, should always be expected.
This line item is material to the results reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, and this line item can also be extremely volatile, as it reflects changes in the stock market. While these results can be material and volatile, most of the equity holdings of the Company were acquired with a long-term view, thus making these intermediate changes in value of less concern to Management. Management monitors its equity holdings looking more at the specific entity and market it is in relative to performance and less to changes due to general market swings that occur over the holding period of the investment.
The Company reported revenue before net investment gains of approximately $10.5 million and $9.2 million for the six-month-period ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company reported $5.7 million and $4.6 million, respectively, of revenue before net investment gains (losses) for the second quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively. The 2026 net investment income results are comparable to 2025 for second quarter and year-to-date.

Consolidated net investment income $ 4,718,614 $ 3,480,217 $ 8,013,950 $ 6,598,953
Net investment income represented 77% and 71% of the Company's revenue before net investment gains as of June, 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. For the second quarter ended June 30, net investment income represented 82% and 76% of revenue before net investment gains (losses) for 2026 and 2025, respectively. When comparing current and prior year results, net investment income was comparable in most of the investment categories outside of the mortgage loans and equity securities investment portfolios.
The earnings reported by the mortgage loan investments represented 6% and 5% of the total consolidated investment income reported by the Company during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. In second quarter 2026, the Company originated a new large mortgage loan that caused this increase.
The earnings reported by the equity securities investments represented 33% and 19% of the total consolidated investment income reported by the Company during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. In first quarter, a single equity security in the oil & gas industry produced a one-time dividend of $420,000. In second quarter the increase is primarily due to a single equity security producing a one-time dividend of $501,000, and an overall increase in distributions related to oil & gas royalties.
The average price of crude oil was approximately $65 per barrel during 2025. Beginning in late February 2026, crude oil prices increased significantly as geopolitical tensions in the Middle East escalated, including military conflict involving Iran and disruptions to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical transit route for global oil exports. These events created uncertainty regarding global oil supply, causing volatility in oil prices ranging from $60 per barrel and peak at approximately $115 per barrel. Although market conditions improved during the second quarter and prices moderated to approximately $80 per barrel by the end of June 2026, crude oil prices remained above the average levels experienced during 2025.
Because the Company's royalty income is directly influenced by oil prices, sustained crude oil prices above historical averages are expected to result in higher royalty distributions. However, future royalty income will continue to depend on the duration and severity of geopolitical events, the restoration of normal shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, global oil supply and demand conditions, and the resulting volatility in crude oil markets. Management cannot predict the timing or outcome of these events, and therefore cannot estimate the extent to which future oil prices or royalty distributions may be affected.
The following table reflects net investment gains (losses):

Net investment gains $ 8,157,832 $ (1,205,919 ) $ 39,920,091 $ 16,060,332
Realized investment gains are the result of one-time events and are expected to vary from year to year.
In 2026, the sale of five equity securities represents the majority of the realized investment gains from equity securities year-to-date with one of these sales being in the second quarter. Most of these sales are related to the oil/gas industry and the information technology industry.
The Company reported a year-to-date 2026 change in the fair value of equity securities of approximately $30.5 million, and a second quarter gain of approximately $2.3 million. In 2025, The Company reported a year-to-date change in the fair value of equity securities of approximately $15.0 million, and a second quarter loss of approximately $1.3 million. This line item is material to the results reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, and this line item can also be extremely volatile, as it reflects changes in the stock market. Of the 2026 change in fair value of equity securities, approximately $17.1 million is attributable to a single equity security holding related to the oil and gas industry. While these results can be material and volatile, most of the equity holdings of the Company were acquired with a long-term view, thus making these intermediate changes in value of less concern to Management. Management monitors its equity holdings looking more at the specific entity and market it is in relative to performance and less to changes due to general market swings that occur over the holding period of the investment.
In 2026 and 2025, the Company saw mostly positive results in its equity investments. Equity investments primarily in the oil and gas area represent almost all the unrealized gains reported in 2026 and 2025. Periodic pull backs and rallies are expected by management. Management believes its current equity investments continue to be solid investments for the Company and have further growth potential; however, changes in market conditions could cause volatility in market prices.
In summary, the Company's basis for future revenue is expected to come from the following primary sources: Conservation of business currently in-force, the maximization of investment earnings and the acquisition of other companies or policy blocks in the life insurance business. Management has placed a significant emphasis on the development of these revenue sources to enhance these opportunities.
Expenses
The Company reported total benefits and other expenses of approximately $12.6 million and $10.5 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. For the three month period ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company reported total benefits and other expenses of approximately $5.9 million and $5.4 million, respectively. Benefits, claims and settlement expenses represented approximately 57% and 59% of the Company's total expenses for the six month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The other major expense category of the Company is operating expenses, which represented approximately 41% and 39% of the Company's total expenses for the six month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
When comparing year-to-date 2026 and 2025 results, life benefits, claims and settlement expenses were up approximately $1.1 million. Policy claims vary from period to period and therefore, fluctuations in mortality are to be expected and are not considered unusual by Management.
Changes in policyholder reserves, or future policy benefits, also impact this line item. Reserves are calculated on an individual policy basis and generally increase over the life of the policy as a result of additional premium payments and acknowledgment of increased risk as the insured continues to age.
The short-term impact of policy surrenders is negligible since a reserve for future policy benefits payable is held which is, at a minimum, equal to and generally greater than the cash surrender value of a policy. The benefit of fewer policy surrenders is primarily received over a longer time period through the retention of the Company's asset base.
Operating expenses increased approximately $1.1 million in the six month period ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025. Increased salary costs due to an increase in bonus accrual make up 26% of the increase, and charitable contributions make up 20% of the increase. Both of these increased costs are related to the increase in 2026 earnings. Stock option amortization makes up 16% of the increase, the Company issued stock options in the third quarter of 2025. The Company also had increased actuarial costs due to the implementation of the new LDTI accounting standard, this cost makes up 9% of the increase.
As mentioned above in the Overview section of the Management Discussion and Analysis, UTG has a strong philanthropic program. The Company generally allocates a portion of its earnings to be used for its philanthropic efforts primarily targeted to Christ-centered organizations or organizations that help the weak or poor. Charitable contributions made by the Company are expected to vary from year to year depending on the earnings of the Company.
Net amortization of cost of insurance acquired decreased approximately 1% when comparing current and prior year activity. Cost of insurance acquired is established when an insurance company is acquired or when the Company acquires a block of in-force business. The Company assigns a portion of its cost to the right to receive future profits from insurance contracts existing at the date of the acquisition. Cost of insurance acquired is amortized with interest in relation to expected future profits, including direct charge-offs for any excess of the unamortized asset over the projected future profits. The interest rates may vary due to risk analysis performed at the time of acquisition on the business acquired. The Company utilizes a 12% discount rate on the remaining unamortized business. The amortization is adjusted retrospectively when estimates of current or future gross profits to be realized from a group of products are revised. Amortization of cost of insurance acquired is particularly sensitive to changes in interest rate spreads and persistency of certain blocks of insurance in-force. This expense is expected to decrease unless the Company acquires a new block of business.
Management continues to place significant emphasis on expense monitoring and cost containment. Maintaining administrative efficiencies directly impacts net income.
Financial Condition

The Company's investments are generally managed to match related insurance and policyholder liabilities. The comparison of investment return with insurance or investment product crediting rates establishes an interest spread. Interest crediting rates on adjustable-rate policies have been reduced to their guaranteed minimum rates, and as such, cannot be lowered any further. Policy interest crediting rate changes and expense load changes become effective on an individual policy basis on the next policy anniversary. Therefore, it takes a full year from the time the change was determined for the full impact of such change to be realized. If interest rates decline in the future, the Company will not be able to lower rates and both net investment income and net income will be impacted negatively.
The Company's total investments represented 86% and 88% of the Company's total assets as of June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively. Fixed maturities and equity securities at fair value consistently represented a substantial portion, 81% and 79%, of the total investments during 2026 and 2025, respectively. The overall investment mix, as a percentage of total investments, remained fairly consistent when comparing the respective investments held as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
As of June 30, 2026, the carrying value of fixed maturity securities in default as to principal or interest was immaterial in the context of consolidated assets, shareholders' equity or results from operations. To provide additional flexibility and liquidity, the Company has identified all fixed maturity securities as "investments available for sale". Investments available for sale are carried at market value, with changes in market value charged directly to the other comprehensive component of shareholders' equity. Changes in the market value of available for sale securities resulted in net unrealized gains (losses) of approximately $(349,000) and $1.6 million as of June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The variance in the net unrealized gains and losses is the result of normal market fluctuations mainly related to changes in interest rates in the marketplace.
The Company owns a variety of investments associated with the oil and gas industry. These investments represent approximately 37% and 35% of the Company's total invested assets as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. See Note 10 - Concentrations for more details related to our oil and gas concentrations.
Management continues to view the Company's investment portfolio with utmost priority. Significant time has been spent internally researching the Company's risk and communicating with outside investment advisors about the current investment environment and ways to ensure preservation of capital and mitigate losses. Management has put extensive efforts into evaluating the investment holdings. Additionally, members of the Company's Board of Directors and investment committee have been solicited for advice and provided with information. Management reviews the Company's entire portfolio on a security level basis to be sure all understand our holdings, potential risks and underlying credit supporting the investments. Management intends to continue its close monitoring of its bond holdings and other investments for possible deterioration or market condition changes. Future events may result in Management's determination that certain current investment holdings may need to be sold which could result in gains or losses in future periods.
Liquidity
Liquidity provides the Company with the ability to meet on demand the cash commitments required by its business operations and financial obligations. The Company's liquidity is primarily derived from cash balances, a portfolio of marketable securities and line of credit facilities. The Company has two principal needs for cash - the insurance company's contractual obligations to policyholders and the payment of operating expenses.
Parent Company Liquidity
UTG is a holding company that has no day-to-day operations of its own. Cash flows from UTG's insurance subsidiary, UG, are used to pay costs associated with maintaining the Company in good standing with states in which it does business and purchasing outstanding shares of UTG stock. UTG's cash flow is dependent on management fees received from its insurance subsidiary, stockholder dividends from its subsidiary and earnings received on cash balances. As of June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, substantially all of the consolidated shareholders' equity represents net assets of its subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2026, the Parent company has received no dividends from its insurance subsidiary. Certain restrictions exist on the payment of dividends from the insurance subsidiary to the Parent company. For further information regarding the restrictions on the payment of dividends by the insurance subsidiary, see Note 7 - Shareholders' Equity in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Although these restrictions exist, dividend availability from the insurance subsidiary has historically been sufficient to meet the cash flow needs of the Parent company.
Insurance Subsidiary Liquidity
Sources of cash flows for the insurance subsidiary primarily consist of premium and investment income. Cash outflows from operations include policy benefit payments, administrative expenses, taxes and dividends to the Parent company.
Short-Term Borrowings
During October of 2025, the Federal Home Loan Bank approved the renewal of UG's Cash Management Advance Application ("CMA"). The CMA is a source of overnight liquidity utilized to address the day-to-day cash needs of a Company. The CMA gives the company the option of selecting a variable rate of interest for up to 90 days or a fixed rate for a maximum of 30 days. The variable rate CMA is prepayable at any time without a fee, while the fixed CMA is not prepayable prior to maturity. The Company has pledged bonds with a collateral lendable value of $21.7 million as of June 30, 2026. The Company has no outstanding borrowings on the CMA at June 30, 2026 nor had any borrowing activity during 2026.
Consolidated Liquidity
Cash used in operating activities was approximately $5.5 million in 2026 and cash used by operating activities was approximately $4.3 million in 2025. Sources of operating cash flows of the Company, as with most insurance entities, is comprised primarily of premiums received on life insurance products and income earned on investments. Uses of operating cash flows consist primarily of payments of benefits to policyholders and beneficiaries and operating expenses. The Company has not marketed any significant new products for several years. As such, premium revenues continue to decline with the exception of fluctuations in reinsurance premiums. Management anticipates future cash flows from operations to remain similar to historic trends.
During 2026, the Company's investing activities provided net cash of approximately $18.7 million and used net cash of approximately $2.4 million in 2025. The Company recognized proceeds of approximately $39.1 million and $12.9 million from investments sold and matured in 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company used approximately $20.4 million and $15.3 million to acquire investments during 2026 and 2025, respectively. The net cash provided by or used in investing activities is expected to vary from year to year depending on market conditions and management's ability to find and negotiate favorable investment contracts.
Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $1,192,000 and $134,000 during 2026 and 2025, respectively. As of June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company had no debt outstanding with third parties.
The Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $42.6 million and $30.5 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The Company has a portfolio of marketable fixed maturity securities that could be sold, if an unexpected event were to occur. These securities had a fair value of approximately $72.1 million at June 30, 2026. However, the strong cash flows from investing activities, investment maturities and the availability of the line of credit facilities make it unlikely that the Company would need to sell securities for liquidity purposes.
Management believes the overall sources of liquidity available will be sufficient to satisfy its financial obligations.
Capital Resources
Total shareholders' equity increased by approximately 13% as of June 30, 2026, compared to December 31, 2025. The increase is mainly attributable to an increase in retained earnings, which is the result of the current year net income reported by the Company.
