Description of business: US Alliance Corporation ("USAC") was formed as a Kansas corporation on April 24, 2009 to raise capital to form a new Kansas-based life insurance company.

US Alliance Marketing Corporation ("USAMC") was formed April 23, 2012, to serve as a marketing resource. US Alliance Investment Corporation ("USAIC") was formed April 23, 2012 to serve as investment manager for USAC. Dakota Capital Life Insurance Company (“DCLIC”), was acquired on August 1, 2017 when USAC merged with Northern Plains Capital Corporation (“NPCC”) and was merged into USALSC on December 31, 2023. US Alliance Life and Security Company - Montana (USALSC-Montana), was acquired December 14, 2018. USALSC-Montana is a wholly-owned subsidiary of USALSC. Unless the context indicates otherwise, references herein to the "Company" refer to USAC and its consolidated subsidiaries.
The Company terminated its initial public offering on February 24, 2013. During the balance of 2013, the Company achieved approval of an array of life insurance and annuity products, began development of various distribution channels and commenced insurance operations and product sales. The Company sold its first insurance product on May 1, 2013. The Company continued to expand its product offerings and distribution channels throughout 2014 and 2015. On February 24, 2015, the Company commenced a warrant exercise offering set to expire on February 24, 2016. On February 24, 2016, the Company extended the offering until February 24, 2017 and made additional shares available for purchase. All outstanding warrants expired on April 1, 2016. The Company further extended this offering to February 24, 2024. During the 4th quarter of 2017, the Company began a private placement offering to accredited investors in the state of North Dakota. Both offerings were terminated in the second quarter of 2024.
USALSC received a Certificate of Authority from the Kansas Insurance Department ("KID") effective January 2, 2012, and sold its first insurance product on May 1, 2013. In 2023, USALSC re-domesticated to North Dakota with approval of the North Dakota Insurance Department ("NDID").

Basis of presentation: The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods have been included.
The results of operation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ended December 31, 2026 or for any other interim period or for any other future year. Certain financial information which is normally included in notes to financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP, but which are not required for interim reporting purposes, has been condensed or omitted. The accompanying financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in USAC’s report on Form 10-K and amendments thereto for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Principles of consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated from the consolidated financial statements.
Area of Operation: US Alliance Life and Security Company is authorized to operate in the states of Kansas, North Dakota, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Wyoming, South Dakota, Montana, Kentucky, Utah, Alabama, Ohio, Mississippi, New Mexico, Texas, Arizona, Nevada, and Idaho. USALSC-Montana is authorized to operate in the state of Montana. Common stock and income (loss) per share: The par value for common stock is $0.10 per share with 20,000,000 shares authorized. As of June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, USAC had 7,788,922 common shares issued and outstanding.
Income (loss) per share attributable to USAC’s common stockholders were computed based on the net income (loss) and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each year. The weighted average number of shares outstanding during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were 7,788,922 and 7,748,922 shares, respectively. Potential common shares are excluded from the computation when their effect is anti-dilutive. There was difference between basic and diluted net loss per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
New accounting standards:
Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09 "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-09"). ASU 2023-09 is intended to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures by requiring, among other things, the disclosure on an annual basis of: (i) specific categories in the rate reconciliation; and (ii) additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. In addition, ASU 2023-09 requires disclosure (on an annual basis) of the following information about income taxes paid: (i) the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign taxes; and (ii) the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid (net of refunds received) is equal to or greater than 5 percent of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received). ASU 2023-09 was effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2025, to be applied prospectively with an option for retrospective application (with early adoption permitted). The adoption of ASU 2023-09 modified our disclosures but did not have an impact on our financial position or results of operations.
ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses: Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses and Related Amendment
The amendments in this update require the disclosure of disaggregation of certain income statement expense line items. Specifically, the guidance requires the disclosure of additional information related to certain expenses, including employee compensation, depreciation and amortization, and certain other expenses included in each income statement line item. The amendments also require the disclosure of both the total amount of selling expenses and a definition of selling expenses.
We will adopt this update effective for the annual period beginning January 1, 2027, and interim periods beginning January 1, 2028. The adoption of this update is permitted on a prospective basis or a retrospective basis. The adoption of this update will expand our disclosures but will not have an impact on our financial position or results of operations.
ASU 2025-06, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software: Intangibles - Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)
The amendments in this update modernize the recognition framework for the capitalization of internal-use software and remove all references to software development project stages. The guidance requires software development costs to be capitalized when both of the following criteria are met: (i) management has authorized and committed to funding the project, and (ii) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform its intended function. Additionally, the update aligns disclosure requirements for capitalized software costs with those under ASC 360-10, “Property, Plant, and Equipment.”
The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption of this update is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. Adoption of this update is permitted on a prospective, retrospective, or a modified retrospective basis. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this update will have on our financial position, results of operations, and disclosures.
Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-12 "Financial Services-Insurance (Topic 944) - Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts". This update is aimed at improving the Codification related to long-duration contracts, which will improve the timeliness of recognizing changes in the liability for future policy benefits, simplify accounting for certain market-based options, simplify the amortization of deferred acquisition costs, and improve the effectiveness of required disclosures. These updates were originally required to be applied retrospectively to the earliest period presented in the financial statements for periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The FASB subsequently delayed the effective date of ASU 2018-12 to periods beginning after December 15, 2024 for smaller reporting companies, with early adoption permitted.
In December 2022, the FASB issued amendment ASU 2022-05 "Targeted Improvements for Long-Duration Contracts" collectively, “LDTI” that originally required an insurance entity to apply a retrospective transition method as of the beginning of the earliest period presented or the beginning of the prior fiscal year if early adoption was elected. This updated guidance reduces implementation costs and complexity associated with the adoption of targeted improvements in accounting for long-duration contracts that have been derecognized in accordance with ASU 2018-12 before the delayed effective date. Without the amendments in this ASU, an insurance entity would be required to reclassify a portion of gains or losses previously recognized in the sale or disposal of insurance contracts or legal entities because of the adoption of a new accounting standard.
We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2025, using the modified retrospective approach with changes applied as of January 1, 2024, also referred to as the transition date. The following tables summarize the impacts of the adoption of LDTI on the liability for future policy benefits, deferred acquisition costs, and stockholders' equity as of the transition date as well as impacted historical condensed consolidated financial statement line items for historical comparison.
Impact of the Adoption of LDTI as of the Transition Date:
Stockholders' Equity
The following table summarizes the changes in stockholders' equity due to the adoption of LDTI and the resulting adjusted balances as of January 1, 2024:
The increase in accumulated other comprehensive income in our recast of 2024 is driven primarily by the difference between the discount rate applied under the historical accounting method, which was based on an expected investment yield from our current investment strategy, and the single-A discount rate that is required as a part of the adoption of LDTI. The net favorable impact to net loss and accumulated deficit is primarily due to slower amortization of deferred acquisition costs on single pay products.
The following table presents the transition impacts as of January 1, 2024, to the Company's accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and accumulated deficit as a result of the adoption of LDTI by product type, using the modified retrospective transition method:
Liability for Future Policy Benefits
The following tables summarize the changes in the liability for future policy benefits by product type due to the adoption of LDTI and the resulting adjusted balance as of January 1, 2024:
Present Value of Future Net Premiums
Present Value of Expected Future Policy Benefits
Impact of the Adoption of LDTI on Historical Financial Statements:
The following tables present the effect of the adoption of LDTI on our historical consolidated financial statements:
