Investments consist of U.S. treasury securities classified as trading securities and publicly traded equity securities, of which $16,863,428 is held by our insurance entities at June 30, 2021.

As a result of a change in Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in 2018, we are required to include the unrealized changes in market prices of investments in public equity securities in our reported earnings.

In the table above, “Net Other Income (Loss)” during the six months ended June 30, 2021 includes unrealized gains of $115,845,427 mainly from our 2017 investment of $10,000,000 in Dream Finders Homes after its initial public offering on January 25, 2021. This contrasts with unrealized losses in the value of our public equity securities of $(25,232,878) during the six months ended June 30, 2020. While we intend to hold our current securities for the longer term, we may in the future choose to sell them for a variety of reasons resulting in realized losses or gains.

Cash flow from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $5,290,113, compared to $1,261,366 for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Our book value per share was $17.92 at June 30, 2021, compared to $14.01 at December 31, 2020.
