5. STATUTORY FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Insurance companies are required to file financial statements with state insurance regulatory authorities prepared on an accounting basis prescribed or permitted by such authorities (statutory basis).  Net earnings and capital and surplus on a statutory basis were as follows:
Statutory Net Earnings
   
Statutory Capital and Surplus
 
September 30,
   
September 30,
   
September 30,
   
December 31,
 
2016
   
2015
   
2016
   
2015
 
                     
$
265,935
   
$
376,019
   
$
5,064,193
   
$
4,901,365
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, statutory net earnings differ from net earnings on a GAAP basis primarily due to the treatment of deferred acquisition costs, the basis of difference in property and equipment, and changes in non-admitted assets.
6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On December 5, 2016 the Massachusetts Department of Insurance approved the purchase of all outstanding common stock of United Casualty Surety Insurance Company by General Indemnity Group, LLC ("GIG"), a subsidiary of Boston Omaha Corporation (OTC: BOMN).  Subsequently, on December 7, 2016, the acquisition was completed and under the terms of the stock purchase agreement, GIG paid the Company's shareholders $13,000,000.
On December 27, 2016 the Company amended its articles whereby the par value of the common stock was increased to $130 per common share from $75 per common share.  This amendment results in a reclassification of additional paid in capital to the common stock account, however does not impact the reported total of stockholders' equity.
