Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

We consider all investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at fair value. We also invest in marketable securities that are measured and recorded at fair value. See Note 4 – Fair Value Measurements for further discussion about our marketable securities.

Our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balances are summarized as follows (in thousands):
March 31, 2023December 31, 2022
Cash$24,390 $17,776 
Cash equivalents156,243 126,625 
Cash and cash equivalents180,633 144,401 
Restricted cash3,239 3,239 
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash$183,872 $147,640 

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had $3.2 million of restricted cash which was classified as a non-current asset on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. This amount collateralizes letters of credit related to certain lease commitments.
Contract Assets and Accounts Receivable

We do not require collateral or other security for our contract assets and accounts receivable. We believe the potential for collection issues with any of our customers was minimal as of March 31, 2023.

We estimate an allowance for credit losses using relevant available information from internal and external sources, related to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Specifically, for the purpose of measuring the probability of default parameters, we utilize Capital IQ’s, Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s analytics. Our estimates of loss given default are determined by using our historical collections data as well as historical information obtained through our research and review of other insurance related companies. Our estimated exposure at default is determined by applying these internal and external data sources to our commissions receivable balances. As such, we apply an immediate reversion method and revert to historical loss information when computing our credit loss exposure. Credit loss expenses are assessed quarterly and are included in the "General and administrative" line in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. There were no write-offs during the three months ended March 31, 2023 or for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The change in the allowance for credit losses is summarized as follows (in thousands):

Credit Risk

Our financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk principally consist of cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, contract assets – commissions receivable, and accounts receivable. We invest our cash and cash equivalents with major banks and financial institutions, and, at times, such investments are in excess of federally insured limits. We also have deposits with major banks in China that are denominated in both U.S. dollars and Chinese Yuan Renminbi and are not insured by the U.S. federal government. The deposits in China were $5.4 million as of March 31, 2023. See Note 4 – Fair Value Measurements for more information regarding our marketable securities.
