1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

Texas Republic Capital Corporation (the “Company”) is the parent holding company of Texas Republic Life Insurance Company (“TRLIC”), Texas Republic Life Solutions, Inc. (“TRLS”), and Axis Insurance Solutions, LLC (“AIS”). The Company was incorporated in Texas on May 15, 2012, for the primary purpose of forming and capitalizing a life insurance company subsidiary.

The Texas Department of Insurance approved TRLIC’s life insurance charter on August 1, 2016. The Company capitalized TRLIC with $3,000,000 and owns 100% of TRLIC. TRLIC began insurance operations on April 3, 2017 and is currently selling life and annuity products in the state of Texas. In 2018, the Company made additional capital contributions totaling $2,750,000 for the entire year. In 2019, the Company made two more capital contributions to TRLIC. The first contribution consisted of mortgage loans valued at $857,133 and the second one was a $1,300,000 cash contribution. In 2021 and 2022, the Company made additional total capital contributions of $2,100,000 and $2,100,000, respectively. In 2023, the Company made $1,750,000 in total capital contributions. Total capitalization of TRLIC was $13,857,133 at December 31, 2025.

TRLS, a life and health insurance agency, was incorporated February 1, 2017. The Company capitalized TRLS with $50,000 and owns 100% of TRLS. In 2018 and 2020, the Company made additional capital contributions of $100,000 and $200,000, respectively. In 2021 and 2022, the Company made additional total capital contributions of $50,000 and $150,000, respectively. Total capitalization of TRLS was $550,000 at December 31, 2025.

AIS, a property & casualty insurance agency, was formed on April 6, 2021. The Company capitalized AIS with $25,000 and owns 100% of AIS.

From incorporation through April 2, 2017, the Company was involved in the sale of common stock to provide working capital. During this time, the Company completed an organizational offering, three private placement stock offerings and an intrastate public stock offering in the state of Texas. The Company raised $10,336,500 and incurred $1,215,569 of offering costs through the issuance of 12,865,000 shares from the organizational offering and three private placement offerings. The intrastate public stock offering was registered to raise $25,000,000 by offering 5,000,000 shares of its common stock and ended on April 2, 2017. Through this offering the Company raised an additional $10,010,485 and incurred another $1,444,127 of offering costs through the sale of 2,002,097 shares of common stock. On May 31, 2022, the Company began a rights offering to existing shareholders only. The rights offering ended on September 30, 2022. Through this rights offering, the Company raised $4,400,652 and incurred $77,615 of offering costs through the sale of 733,442 shares of its common stock.

On January 1, 2023, the Company began a six-million-dollar private placement offering with a possible 10% oversubscription. This offering was extended for an additional year and will end on January 1, 2027, unless all of the shares are sold before then or the offering is terminated earlier. These shares will be sold in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”) contained in Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation D, Rule 506. No underwriter will be involved in connection with the issuance of these shares, and we will not pay finder’s fees in this private placement. The Company has raised $4,620,908 and incurred $35,903 of offering costs from the subscription of 616,121 shares through December 31, 2025 from this offering.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Although these estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, they may ultimately differ from actual results. 

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior year financial statements to conform to current year classifications. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported net loss or shareholders’ equity.

Investments

Fixed maturity securities are comprised of bonds that are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value net of any necessary valuation allowance for credit losses with unrealized gains and losses, net of applicable income taxes, reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The amortized cost of fixed maturity securities available-for-sale is generally adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount. Interest income, as well as the related amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is included in net investment income under the effective yield method.

The Company monitors all fixed maturity securities on an on-going basis relative to changes in credit ratings, market prices, earnings trends and financial performance, in addition to specific region or industry reviews. The Company evaluates whether a credit loss exists for fixed maturity securities by considering primarily the following factors: (a) changes in the financial condition of the security's underlying collateral; (b) whether the issuer is current on contractually obligated interest and principal payments; (c) changes in the financial condition, credit rating and near-term prospects of the issuer; and (d) the payment structure of the security. The Company's best estimate of expected future cash flows used to determine the credit loss amount is a quantitative and qualitative process. Quantitative review includes information received from third-party sources such as financial statements, pricing and rating changes, liquidity and other statistical information. Qualitative factors include judgments related to business strategies, economic impacts on the issuer, overall judgment related to estimates and industry factors as well as the Company's intent to sell the security, or if it is more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell a security before recovery of its amortized cost.

The Company's best estimate of future cash flows involves assumptions including, but not limited to, various performance indicators, such as historical and projected default and recovery rates, credit ratings, and current delinquency rates. These assumptions require the use of significant management judgment and include the probability of issuer default and estimates regarding timing and amount of expected recoveries, which may include estimating the underlying collateral value. In addition, projections of expected future fixed maturity security cash flows may change based upon new information regarding the performance of the issuer. Any credit losses are presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down of available-for-sale fixed maturity securities, with the change in allowance reported in net loss on the consolidated statements of operations.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest earned on investments is recorded on the accrual basis and is included in net investment income.

The Company’s mortgage loan portfolio is carried at unpaid balances, net of unamortized premium or discounts. This measurement of mortgage loans on an amortized cost basis is reduced by an allowance for credit losses representing a valuation allowance that is deducted from the amortized costs basis of mortgage loans to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected. Interest income and the amortization of premiums or discounts are included in net investment income.

The statement of operations reflects the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized mortgage loans as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported mortgage loan balances. The Company uses judgment in determining the relevant information and estimation methods that are appropriate in establishing the valuation allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses for mortgage loans with a more-than-insignificant amount of credit determination since origination is determined and the initial allowance for credit losses should be added to the purchase price of mortgage loans rather than being reported as a credit loss expenses.

Real estate held for sale is carried at cost. Investment real estate obtained through foreclosure on mortgage loans on real estate is carried at the lower of acquisition cost or net realizable value.

Policy loans are carried at unpaid principal balances. Interest income on policy loans is recognized in net investment income at the contract interest rate when earned.

The Company’s other long-term investments are comprised of lottery prize cash flows holdings held at amortized cost. Payments on these investments are made by state run lotteries. Since state run lotteries are unlikely to default even in the most dire economic situations, no allowance for credit losses are necessary. Interest income and the accretion of discount are included in net investment income.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and money market instruments.

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs

Commissions and other acquisition costs which vary with and are primarily related to the successful production of new and renewal insurance contracts are deferred and amortized on a constant level basis over the expected life of the related insurance contracts. With the adoption of ASU 2018-12, impairment testing is no longer applicable to deferred policy acquisition costs. The Company, however, reviews and updates actuarial experience assumptions (such as mortality, surrenders, lapse, and premium persistency) serving as inputs to the models that establish the expected life for deferred policy acquisition costs and other actuarial balances at least once each year, or more frequently if evidence suggests assumptions should be revised. The Company makes model refinements as necessary, and any changes resulting from these assumption updates are applied prospectively.

Deferred policy acquisition costs are amortized by issue year month and product cohorts (defined as the unit for asset amortization measurement) with the amortization based upon projected policy counts. In addition, since the amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs is no longer impacted by investment gains and losses, the unrealized gain (loss) adjustment is also no longer applicable to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, capitalized costs were $1,576,137 and $2,332,262, respectively. Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $893,077 and 1,159,960, respectively.

Deferred Sales Inducement Costs

Sales inducement costs (“SIC”) are related to policy bonuses issued on some of the Company’s annuity products. SIC is deferred at the issuance of the policy and amortized over the bonus period on a straight-line basis. The amount deferred is based on the difference between the fund value with the bonus and the fund value without the bonus. There was $15,959 and $53,773 of SIC deferred at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 there was $0 of SIC deferred and $37,814 of SIC amortized. There was $0 of SIC deferred and $161,112 of SIC amortized during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024.

Advances and Notes Receivable

Advances and notes receivable are recorded at unpaid principal balances. Management evaluates the collectability of advances and notes receivable on the specific identification basis. Management had no allowance for possible uncollectable agent balances as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Leased Property – Right to Use Asset

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Lease Accounting (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). Under ASU 2016-02, a lessee is required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than twelve months. The Company’s home office lease had an original term greater than one year, and the Company recognizes on the balance sheet a right of use (“ROU”) operating lease asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments. Lease costs are recognized in the income statement over the lease term on a straight-line basis. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The Company has a lease asset and liability of $167,296 and $254,581 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and reflect amounts paid for the Company’s computer software costs during the application development stage. The software costs placed in service are amortized using the straight-line method over the seven-year estimated useful life of the software. The asset is tested for impairment at least annually. Subsequent modifications or upgrades to internal-use software are capitalized only to the extent that additional functionality is provided. 

Furniture and Equipment

Furniture and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation or amortization. Office furniture, equipment and EDP equipment are recorded at cost or fair value at acquisition less accumulated depreciation or amortization using the straight-line method over a period that approximates the estimated useful life of the respective assets of three to seven years. Expenditures for improvements are capitalized, and expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Upon sale or retirement, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization is removed from the related accounts, and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is reflected in income.

Policyholders’ Account Balances

The Company’s liability for policyholders’ account balances represents the contract value that has accrued to the benefit of the policyholder as of the financial statement date. This liability for annuities is generally equal to the accumulated account deposits plus applicable bonus and interest credited less policyholders’ withdrawals and other charges assessed against the account balance. This liability for universal life policies is generally equal to the accumulated account balance which generally is premium received less amounts used to pay mortality, insurance costs, and expense charges. Interest crediting rates for individual annuities range from 1.55% to 6.00%.

Future Policy Benefits

Our liability for future policy benefits is primarily comprised of the present value of estimated future payments to or on behalf of policyholders, where the timing and amount of payment depends on policyholder mortality or morbidity, less the present value of future net premiums. Estimating liabilities for life insurance contracts requires management to make various assumptions, including policyholder persistency, mortality rates, investment yields, discretionary benefit increases, new business pricing and operating expense levels.

For life insurance products, expected mortality and morbidity is generally based on the Company’s expectations, historical experience or standard industry tables. Interest rate assumptions are based on factors such as market conditions and expected investment returns. Since many of these factors are interdependent and subject to volatility during the long-duration contract period, substantial judgment is required. Actual experience may emerge differently from that previously estimated. 

The Company reviews and updates, if necessary, assumptions used to measure cash flows for the liability for future policy benefits at least once annually, or more frequently if evidence suggests that assumptions should be revised. Actual cash flows are grouped into issue year cohorts for this liability for future policy benefits calculation. A change in the liability for future policy benefits as a result of updating cash flow assumptions is recognized in net income.

Discount rate assumptions are selected in accordance with the applicable duration of the life insurance contracts based on the future benefit liability cash flow projection and are prescribed as the current upper-medium grade (low credit risk) fixed income instrument yield. If the discount rate is updated at any reporting date, the impact of the discount rate update is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Common Stock

Common stock is fully paid, non-assessable and has a par value of $.01 per share.

Treasury Stock

Treasury stock, representing shares of the Company’s common stock that have been reacquired after having been issued and fully paid, are recorded at cost.

Federal Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes are provided for cumulative temporary differences between balances of assets and liabilities determined under GAAP and balances determined using tax bases.

Revenue Recognition

Premiums for traditional life insurance products, which include those products with fixed and guaranteed premiums and benefits consist principally of whole life insurance policies. Limited payment life insurance policies defer gross premiums received in excess of net premiums, which is then recognized in income in a constant relationship with insurance in-force. For universal life and annuities, generally there is no requirement for payment of premium other than to maintain account values at a level sufficient to pay mortality and expense charges. Consequently, policy receipts for universal life policies and annuities are not reported as revenue, but as deposits. Policy premium revenue for universal life policies and investment products consists of charges for the cost of insurance and policy administration fees assessed during the period.

Net Loss Per Common Share Outstanding and Subscribed

Net income or loss per common share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and subscribed during the year. The weighted average common shares outstanding and subscribed were 16,125,197 and 16,020,894 for the years ending December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Related Party Transactions

The Company entered into an agreement with First Trinity Financial Corporation (FTFC) where FTFC will use its resources to source mortgage loans on real estate and lottery bonds. FTFC will present to the Company investments based on criteria the Company has established. The Company has the option to purchase the presented investment assets directly from the seller or to decline the purchase based on the Company’s analysis of the investment. The Chairman of the Company is also the Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of FTFC. The Company paid fees for this service to FTFC of $6,708 and $0 under the agreement for the years ending December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The Company entered into a coinsurance reinsurance agreement with Family Benefit Life Insurance Company (FBLIC), which is a subsidiary of FTFC. The Company will cede a portion of new business from our TrueFlex product related to specific groups to FBLIC as mutually agreed upon in advance. This new agreement became effective on January 1, 2022, and as of December 31, 2025 there have been six groups covered under this agreement. For the year ended December 31, 2025, there were $1,664,413 of premiums ceded and $1,651,843 of commissions, death and other benefits, administrative expenses, change in deferred policy acquisition costs amortized and changes in future policy benefits ceded. For the year ended December 31, 2024, there were $1,506,722 of premiums ceded and $2,090,467 of commissions, death and other benefits, administrative expenses, change in deferred policy acquisition costs amortized and changes in future policy benefits ceded. In addition, there was a reduction to deferred policy acquisition costs and a reinsurance recoverable of $1,698,156 and $420,670, respectively, on the consolidated statements of financial position at December 31, 2025 compared to $1,343,182 and $517,400 at December 31, 2024.

Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated subsequent events for recognition and disclosure in the financial statements through the date the financial statements were available to be issued. The Company did not identify any subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-12 Financial Services-Insurance (Topic 944) - Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts. The Company adopted ASU 2018-12 on a modified retrospective basis such that adjustments were made to confirm to ASU 2018-12 effective January 1, 2024.

Adoption of the standard impacted our previously reported consolidated financial results as follows:

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Expense Disaggregation Disclosures

In November 2024, the FASB issued amendments (Accounting Standards Update 2024-03) to disclose more granular information about costs of sales and general and administrative expenses including employee compensation to improve the disclosure about a public enterprise’s expenses by providing more detailed information about the types of expenses commonly presented in expense captions such as costs of sales and general and administrative expenses.

The amendments in this Update require disclosing, in the notes to the financial statements, the following specified information about costs and expenses included in general captions on the face of the financial statements at each interim and annual reporting period of the entity: (a) purchases of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation, (d) intangible asset amortization and (e) depreciation, depletion and amortization recognized as part of oil and gas producing activities or other amounts of depletion expenses.

An entity is not precluded from providing additional voluntary disclosures that may provide investors with additional decision-useful information. In addition, the amendments in this Update do not change or remove current expense disclosure requirements including those of specialized industries.

The amendments to this Update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company anticipates adopting and disclosing the information required by this Update for year-end reporting in 2027 and interim reporting beginning in first quarter 2028.

In January 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2025-01 that amended Accounting Standards Update 2024-03 to clarify the effective date of the original pronouncement regarding Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. The FASB’s intent in Accounting Standards Update 2024-03 was that all public business entities should initially adopt the disclosure requirements in the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The FASB acknowledges, however, that there was ambiguity that only potentially affected non-calendar year-end entities when Accounting Standards Update 2024-03 was issued.

The amendment in this pronouncement amends the effective date of Accounting Standards Update 2024-03 to clarify that all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2024-03 is permitted. This amendment does not impact the Company.
