ATLANTIC AMERICAN CO RPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited; Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

Note 1.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Atlantic American Corporation (the “Parent”) and its subsidiaries (collectively with the Parent, the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for audited annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein and these related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. The Company’s results of operations for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012 or for any other future period.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Note 2.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2011-05”). ASU 2011-05 requires all nonowner changes in stockholders’ equity to be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. If an entity elects the single continuous statement method of presentation, the entity is required to present the components of net income and total net income, the components of other comprehensive income and a total for other comprehensive income, along with the total of comprehensive income in that statement. In the two separate statement approach, an entity is required to present components of net income and total net income in the statement of net income. The statement of other comprehensive income would then immediately follow the statement of net income and would include the components of other comprehensive income and a total for other comprehensive income, along with a total for comprehensive income. Regardless of the presentation an entity chooses, the entity is required to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. ASU 2011-05 is to be applied retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2011-12”). The amendments in ASU 2011-12 are being made to allow the FASB time to evaluate whether to present on the face of the financial statements the effects of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the components of net income and other comprehensive income for all periods presented. The Company adopted all the requirements in ASU 2011-05 not affected by ASU 2011-12 on January 1, 2012. See Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (“ASU 2011-04”). This guidance resulted in a consistent definition of fair value and common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. While many of the amendments to GAAP are not expected to have a significant effect on practice, this guidance changes some fair value measurement principles and disclosure requirements. ASU 2011-04 is applied prospectively. For public entities, this guidance is effective during the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted ASU 2011-04 on January 1, 2012. See Note 10 for expanded disclosures.

Table of Contents

In October 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-26, Financial Services – Insurance (Topic 944): Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts (“ASU 2010-26”) which specifies which costs relating to the acquisition of new or renewal insurance contracts qualify for deferral. In accordance with ASU 2010-26, incremental direct costs of contract acquisition are capitalized. Advertising costs are included in deferred acquisition costs only if the capitalization criteria in the direct-response advertising guidance in Subtopic 340-20, Other Assets and Deferred Costs – Capitalized Advertising Costs, are met. All other acquisition related costs, including costs incurred by the insurer in soliciting potential customers, market research, training, administration, unsuccessful acquisition or renewal efforts, and product development, are expensed as incurred. If the initial application of ASU 2010-26 results in the capitalization of acquisition costs that had not been capitalized previously, the entity may elect not to capitalize those types of costs. ASU 2010-26 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2011. ASU 2010-26 was required to be applied prospectively upon adoption; although retrospective application to all prior periods presented upon the date of adoption is also permitted, but not required. The Company adopted ASU 2010-26 on January 1, 2012 on a prospective basis. Adoption of ASU 2010-26 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Credit Arrangements

Bank Debt

At June 30, 2012, the Company had a revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), pursuant to which the Company is able to borrow or reborrow up to $5,000, subject to the terms and conditions thereof. The interest rate on amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement is, at the option of the Company, equivalent to either (a) the base rate (which equals the higher of the Prime Rate or 0.5% above the Federal Funds Rate, each as defined) or (b) the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) determined on an interest period of 1-month, 2-months, 3-months or 6-months, plus 2.00%. Interest on amounts outstanding is payable quarterly. The Credit Agreement requires the Company to comply with certain covenants, including, among others, ratios that relate funded debt to both total capitalization and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as well as the maintenance of minimum levels of tangible net worth. The Company must also comply with limitations on capital expenditures, certain payments, additional debt obligations, equity repurchases and certain redemptions, as well as minimum risk-based capital levels. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, Wells Fargo may terminate the Credit Agreement and declare all amounts outstanding due and payable in full. During the six month period ended June 30, 2012, there was no balance outstanding under this Credit Agreement and the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants of the Credit Agreement. The termination date of this Credit Agreement is August 31, 2012.

Junior Subordinated Debentures

The Company has two unconsolidated Connecticut statutory business trusts, which exist for the exclusive purposes of: (i) issuing trust preferred securities (“Trust Preferred Securities”) representing undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the trusts; (ii) investing the gross proceeds of the Trust Preferred Securities in junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures (“Junior Subordinated Debentures”) of Atlantic American; and (iii) engaging in only those activities necessary or incidental thereto.

The financial structure of each of Atlantic American Statutory Trust I and II as of June 30, 2012 was as follows:

	Atlantic American Statutory Trust I		Atlantic American Statutory Trust II
JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES (1) (2)
Principal amount owed	$	18,042	$	23,196

(1)

For each of the respective debentures, the Company has the right at any time, and from time to time, to defer payments of interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures for a period not exceeding 20 consecutive quarters up to the debentures’ respective maturity dates. During any such period, interest will continue to accrue and the Company may not declare or pay any cash dividends or distributions on, or purchase, the Company’s common stock nor make any principal, interest or premium payments on or repurchase any debt securities that rank equally with or junior to the Junior Subordinated Debentures. The Company has the right at any time to dissolve each of the trusts and cause the Junior Subordinated Debentures to be distributed to the holders of the Trust Preferred Securities.

(2)	The Junior Subordinated Debentures are unsecured and rank junior and subordinate in right of payment to all senior debt of the Parent and are effectively subordinated to all existing and future liabilities of its subsidiaries.

(3)	The Parent has guaranteed, on a subordinated basis, all of the obligations under the Trust Preferred Securities, including payment of the redemption price and any accumulated and unpaid distributions to the extent of available funds and upon dissolution, winding up or liquidation.

Note 5.

Derivative Financial Instruments

On February 21, 2006, the Company entered into a zero cost interest rate collar with Wells Fargo to hedge future interest payments on a portion of the Junior Subordinated Debentures. The notional amount of the collar was $18,042 with an effective date of March 6, 2006. The collar has a LIBOR floor rate of 4.77% and a LIBOR cap rate of 5.85%, and adjusts quarterly on the 4 th of each March, June, September and December through termination on March 4, 2013. The Company began making payments to Wells Fargo under the zero cost interest rate collar on June 4, 2008. As a result of interest rates remaining below the LIBOR floor rate of 4.77% through June 30, 2012, these payments to Wells Fargo have continued. While the Company may be exposed to counterparty risk should Wells Fargo fail to perform its obligations under this agreement, based on the current level of interest rates coupled with the current macroeconomic outlook, the Company believes that its current exposure to nonperformance risks is minimal.

The estimated fair value and related carrying value of the Company’s interest rate collar at June 30, 2012 was a liability of approximately $530 with a corresponding decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity, net of deferred tax.

Income Taxes

A reconciliation of the differences between income taxes computed at the federal statutory income tax rate and income tax expense is as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2012			2011			2012			2011
Federal income tax provision at statutory rate of 35%	$	299		$	116		$	901		$	336
Dividends received deduction		(38	)		(21	)		(82	)		(70	)
Small life insurance company deduction		(32	)		20			(237	)		-
Other permanent differences		8			25			16			33
Change in asset valuation allowance due to change in judgment relating to realizability of deferred tax assets		(164	)		-			(462	)		-
Income tax expense	$	73		$	140		$	136		$	299

The components of the income tax expense were as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2012			2011			2012			2011
Current - Federal	$	22		$	(11	)	$	118		$	4
Deferred - Federal		215			151			480			295
Change in deferred tax asset valuation allowance		(164	)		-			(462	)		-
Total	$	73		$	140		$	136		$	299

The primary differences between the effective tax rate and the federal statutory income tax rate for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 resulted from the dividends received deduction (“DRD”), the small life insurance company deduction (“SLD”) and the change in deferred tax asset valuation allowance. The current estimated DRD is adjusted as underlying factors change and can vary from the estimates based on, but not limited to, actual distributions from these investments as well as appropriate levels of taxable income. The SLD varies in amount and is determined at a rate of 60 percent of the tentative life insurance company taxable income (“LICTI”). The amount of the SLD for any taxable year is reduced (but not below zero) by 15 percent of the tentative LICTI for such taxable year as it exceeds $3,000 and is ultimately phased out at $15,000. The change in deferred tax asset valuation allowance was primarily due to the unanticipated utilization of certain capital loss carryforward benefits that had been previously reduced to zero through an existing valuation allowance reserve.

The evaluation for an other than temporary impairment is a quantitative and qualitative process, which is subject to risks and uncertainties in the determination of whether declines in the fair value of investments are other than temporary. Potential risks and uncertainties include, among other things, changes in general economic conditions, an issuer’s financial condition or near term recovery prospects and the effects of changes in interest rates. In evaluating a potential impairment, the Company considers, among other factors, management’s intent and ability to hold these securities until price recovery, the nature of the investment and the expectation of prospects for the issuer and its industry, the status of an issuer’s continued satisfaction of its obligations in accordance with their contractual terms, and management’s expectation as to the issuer’s ability and intent to continue to do so, as well as ratings actions that may affect the issuer’s credit status.

As of June 30, 2012, securities in an unrealized loss position primarily included certain of the Company’s investments in fixed maturities within the financial services sector. The Company does not currently intend to sell nor does it expect to be required to sell any of the securities in an unrealized loss position. Based upon the Company’s expected continuation of receipt of contractually required principal and interest payments and its intent and ability to retain the securities until price recovery, as well as the Company’s evaluation of other relevant factors, including those described above, the Company has deemed these securities to be temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2012.

The following describes the fair value hierarchy and provides information as to the extent to which the Company uses fair value to measure the value of its financial instruments and information about the inputs used to value those financial instruments. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs in the valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels.

Level 1

Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. The Company’s financial instruments valued using Level 1 criteria include cash equivalents and exchange traded common stocks.

Level 2

Observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, for an asset or liability or prices for similar assets or liabilities. The Company’s financial instruments valued using Level 2 criteria include significantly all of its fixed maturities, which consist of U.S. Treasury securities and U.S. Government securities, municipal bonds, and certain corporate fixed maturities, as well as its non-redeemable preferred stocks. In determining fair value measurements using Level 2 criteria, the Company utilizes various external pricing sources.

Level 3

Valuations that are derived from techniques in which one or more of the significant inputs are unobservable (including assumptions about risk). The Company’s financial instruments valued using Level 3 criteria include certain fixed maturities and a zero cost interest rate collar. Fair value is based on criteria that use assumptions or other data that are not readily observable from objective sources. As of June 30, 2012, the value of the Company’s fixed maturities valued using Level 3 criteria was $2,099 and the value of the zero cost interest rate collar was a liability of $530 (See Note 5). The use of different criteria or assumptions regarding data may have yielded different valuations.

Table of Contents

The Company’s fixed maturities valued using Level 3 inputs consist solely of issuances of pooled debt obligations of multiple, smaller financial services companies. They are not actively traded and valuation techniques used to measure fair value are based on future estimated cash flows (based on current cash flows) discounted at reasonable estimated rates of interest. There are no assumed prepayments and/or default probability assumptions as a majority of these instruments contain certain U.S. government agency strips to support repayment of the principal. Other qualitative and quantitative information received from the original underwriter of the pooled offerings is also considered, as applicable. As the derivative is an interest rate collar, changes in valuation are more closely correlated with changes in interest rates and, accordingly, values are estimated using projected cash flows at current interest rates discounted at a reasonably estimated rate of interest. At June 30, 2012, the value of the derivative was determined based on the difference between the contractual interest rate of 4.77% and the current 3-month LIBOR rate of 0.47%. Fair value quotations are also obtained and considered, as applicable, from the counterparty to the transaction.

Note 10.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information from various market sources and appropriate valuation methodologies as of the respective dates. However, considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts which the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

The following table sets forth the carrying amount, estimated fair value and level within the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial instruments as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following is management’s discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of Atlantic American Corporation (“Atlantic American” or the “Parent”) and its subsidiaries (collectively with the Parent, the “Company”) as of and for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2012. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere herein, as well as with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Atlantic American is an insurance holding company whose operations are conducted primarily through its insurance subsidiaries: American Southern Insurance Company and American Safety Insurance Company (together known as “American Southern”) and Bankers Fidelity Life Insurance Company (“Bankers Fidelity”). Each operating company is managed separately, offers different products and is evaluated on its individual performance.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The Company has identified certain critical estimates that involve a higher degree of judgment and are subject to a significant degree of variability. The Company’s critical accounting policies and the resultant estimates considered most significant by management are disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. During the six month period ended June 30, 2012, there were no changes to the critical accounting policies or related estimates previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

For a discussion of recently issued accounting standards applicable to the Company, see Note 2 of the accompanying notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

OVERALL CORPORATE RESULTS

On a consolidated basis, the Company had net income of $0.8 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the three month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to net income of $0.2 million, or nil per diluted share, for the three month period ended June 30, 2011. The Company had net income of $2.4 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the six month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to net income of $0.7 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the six month period ended June 30, 2011. The increase in net income for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 was primarily due to an increase in premium revenue, investment income and realized investment gains, in conjunction with maintaining a relatively consistent level of fixed general and administrative expenses. Premium revenue for the three month period ended June 30, 2012 increased $5.4 million, or 20.6%, to $31.6 million. For the six month period ended June 30, 2012, premium revenue increased $10.7 million, or 20.6%, to $62.3 million. The increase in premium revenue was primarily attributable to an increase in Medicare supplement business in the life and health operations. Operating income (income before income taxes and realized investment gains) was $0.4 million in the three month period ended June 30, 2012 compared to $0.3 million in the three month period ended June 30, 2011. Operating income in the six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $1.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively. While the life and health operations experienced significant growth in premium revenue and related profitability during the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2012, operating income was moderated by unfavorable loss experience in the property and casualty operations.

A more detailed analysis of the individual operating companies and other corporate activities is provided below.

American Southern

The following is a summary of American Southern’s premiums for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and the comparable periods in 2011 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2012			2011			2012			2011

Gross written premiums	$	12,030		$	12,247		$	21,579		$	19,817
Ceded premiums		(1,904	)		(1,507	)		(3,819	)		(2,974	)
Net written premiums	$	10,126		$	10,740		$	17,760		$	16,843
Net earned premiums	$	9,666		$	9,731		$	19,478		$	19,164

Gross written premiums at American Southern decreased $0.2 million, or 1.8%, during the three month period ended June 30, 2012 from the three month period ended June 30, 2011, and increased $1.8 million, or 8.9%, during the six month period ended June 30, 2012, over the comparable period in 2011. The decrease in gross written premiums for the three month period ended June 30, 2012 was due primarily to a decrease in the general liability line of business. The increase in gross written premiums for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 was primarily attributable to increases of $1.8 million in commercial automobile business written by a newly appointed agency and $1.6 million in commercial automobile business written by an existing agency. Partially offsetting the increase in gross written premiums for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 was a decrease of $1.8 million in commercial automobile written premiums resulting from the cancellation of two agencies in the first quarter of 2012 due to unfavorable loss experience.

Ceded premiums increased $0.4 million, or 26.3%, during the three month period ended June 30, 2012, and $0.8 million, or 28.4%, during the six month period ended June 30, 2012, over the comparable periods in 2011. The increase in ceded premiums for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 was primarily due to increased cession rates as well as an increase in commercial automobile earned premiums which have higher contractual cession rates than other lines of business.

The following presents American Southern’s net earned premiums by line of business for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and the comparable periods in 2011 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2012		2011		2012		2011

Commercial automobile	$	6,540	$	6,454	$	12,860	$	12,569
General liability		783		1,067		1,946		2,200
Property		556		495		998		1,003
Surety		1,787		1,715		3,674		3,392
Total	$	9,666	$	9,731	$	19,478	$	19,164

Net earned premiums decreased slightly during the three month period ended June 30, 2012 from the three month period ended June 30, 2011, and increased $0.3 million, or 1.6%, during the six month period ended June 30, 2012, over the comparable period in 2011. The decrease in net earned premiums for the three month period ended June 30, 2012 was primarily attributable to the continued decline in the general liability line of business. The increase in net earned premiums for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 was primarily due to the volume of commercial automobile and surety business written in the current year and during 2011. Premiums are earned ratably over their respective policy terms, and therefore premiums earned in the current year are related to policies written during both the current year and immediately preceding year.

Table of Contents

The following sets forth American Southern’s loss and expense ratios for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and for the comparable periods in 2011:

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Month Ended June 30,
	2012			2011			2012			2011

Loss ratio		69.7	%		59.6	%		75.8	%		57.9	%
Expense ratio		32.1	%		40.2	%		28.9	%		41.1	%
Combined ratio		101.8	%		99.8	%		104.7	%		99.0	%

The loss ratio for the three month period ended June 30, 2012 increased to 69.7% from 59.6% in the three month period ended June 30, 2011 and to 75.8% in the six month period ended June 30, 2012 from 57.9% in the comparable period of 2011. The increase in the loss ratio for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 was attributable to increases in the frequency and severity of claims in substantially all lines of business during 2012 as compared to the same periods in 2011.

The expense ratio for the three month period ended June 30, 2012 decreased to 32.1% from 40.2% in the three month period ended June 30, 2011 and to 28.9% in the six month period ended June 30, 2012 from 41.1% in the comparable period of 2011. The decrease in the expense ratio for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 was primarily due to American Southern’s variable commission structure, which compensates the company’s agents in relation to the loss ratios of the business they write. During periods in which the loss ratio increases, commissions and underwriting expenses will generally decrease, and conversely, during periods in which the loss ratio decreases, commissions and underwriting expenses will generally increase. During the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2012, these commissions at American Southern decreased $0.9 million and $2.2 million, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2011 due to the unfavorable loss experience.

Bankers Fidelity

The following summarizes Bankers Fidelity’s earned premiums for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and the comparable periods in 2011 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2012		2011		2012		2011

Medicare supplement	$	17,745	$	12,510	$	34,619	$	24,764
Other health		1,116		1,065		2,234		2,106
Life		3,065		2,891		5,942		5,585
Total	$	21,926	$	16,466	$	42,795	$	32,455

Premium revenue at Bankers Fidelity increased $5.5 million, or 33.2%, during the three month period ended June 30, 2012, and $10.3 million, or 31.9%, during the six month period ended June 30, 2012, over the comparable periods in 2011. Premiums from the Medicare supplement line of business increased $5.2 million, or 41.8%, during the three month period ended June 30, 2012, and $9.9 million, or 39.8%, during the six month period ended June 30, 2012, due primarily to an increase in business generated from the company’s core producers, new business issued in the state of Missouri, and rate increases on renewal business. Other health products premiums increased slightly during the same comparable periods, primarily as a result of increased sales of the company’s short-term care product. Premiums from the life insurance line of business increased $0.2 million, or 6.0%, during the three month period ended June 30, 2012, and $0.4 million, or 6.4%, during the six month period ended June 30, 2012 due to normal new sales activity.

The following summarizes Bankers Fidelity’s operating expenses for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and the comparable periods in 2011 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2012		2011		2012		2011

Benefits and losses	$	16,357	$	12,418	$	31,010	$	23,754
Commissions and other expenses		6,339		4,994		12,152		10,106
Total expenses	$	22,696	$	17,412	$	43,162	$	33,860

Benefits and losses increased $3.9 million, or 31.7%, during the three month period ended June 30, 2012, and $7.3 million, or 30.5%, during the six month period ended June 30, 2012, over the comparable periods in 2011. As a percentage of premiums, benefits and losses decreased to 74.6% in the three month period ended June 30, 2012 from 75.4% in the three month period ended June 30, 2011. For the six month period ended June 30, 2012, this ratio decreased to 72.5% from 73.2% in the comparable period in 2011. The decrease in the loss ratio for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 was primarily attributable to more favorable loss experience in the Medicare supplement line of business during 2012 as compared to the same periods in 2011.

Commissions and other expenses increased $1.3 million, or 26.9%, during the three month period ended June 30, 2012, and $2.0 million, or 20.2%, during the six month period ended June 30, 2012, over the comparable periods in 2011. The increase in commissions and other expenses was primarily attributable to the increased level of premiums earned as well as increases in advertising and agency related expenses. As a percentage of premiums, these expenses decreased to 28.9% in the three month period ended June 30, 2012 from 30.3% in the three month period ended June 30, 2011. For the six month period ended June 30, 2012, this ratio decreased to 28.4% from 31.1% in the comparable period in 2011. The decrease in the expense ratio for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 was primarily due to the increase in earned premiums coupled with a relatively consistent level of fixed general and administrative expenses.

INVESTMENT INCOME AND REALIZED GAINS

Investment income increased $0.2 million, or 6.1%, during the three month period ended June 30, 2012, and $0.5 million, or 9.1%, during the six month period ended June 30, 2012, over the comparable periods in 2011. The increase in investment income was primarily attributable to an increase in yield on invested assets and a higher average balance of fixed maturities held by the Company in the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the same periods of 2011.

The Company had net realized investment gains of $1.4 million during the six month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to net realized investment gains of $0.1 million in the six month period ended June 30, 2011. The significant increase in net realized investment gains for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 was primarily due to the sale of several of the Company’s investments in fixed maturities during the 2012 period. Management continually evaluates the Company’s investment portfolio and, as may be determined to be appropriate, makes adjustments for impairments and/or will divest investments.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense increased slightly during the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 from the comparable periods in 2011. The increase in interest expense was due to an increase in the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), as the interest rates on the Company’s bank debt and outstanding trust preferred obligations are directly related to LIBOR.

OTHER EXPENSES

Other expenses (commissions, underwriting expenses, and other expenses) increased $0.5 million, or 4.8%, during the three month period ended June 30, 2012 over the three month period ended June 30, 2011, and decreased $0.2 million, or 0.9%, during the six month period ended June 30, 2012, from the comparable period in 2011. The increase in other expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2012 was primarily due to increased commission and underwriting costs in the life and health operations associated with increased premiums as well as increases in advertising and agency related expenses. The decrease in other expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 was primarily attributable to decreased commission accruals at American Southern due to recent loss experience. During the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2012, these commissions at American Southern decreased $0.9 million and $2.2 million, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2011. The majority of American Southern’s business is structured in a way that agents are compensated based upon the loss ratios of the business they place with the company. During periods in which the loss ratio increases, commissions and underwriting expenses will generally decrease, and conversely, during periods in which the loss ratio decreases, commissions and underwriting expenses will generally increase. Partially offsetting the decrease in other expenses in the six month period ended June 30, 2012 were increased commission and underwriting costs in the life and health operations resulting from the higher volume of business discussed previously. On a consolidated basis, as a percentage of earned premiums, other expenses decreased to 32.7% in the three month period ended June 30, 2012 from 37.7% in the three month period ended June 30, 2011. For the six month period ended June 30, 2012, this ratio decreased to 31.9% from 38.8% in the comparable period of 2011. The decrease in the expense ratio for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 was primarily attributable to the increase in earned premiums coupled with a relatively consistent level of fixed general and administrative expenses and a reduction in American Southern’s commission accruals discussed previously.

INCOME TAXES

The primary differences between the effective tax rate and the federal statutory income tax rate for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 resulted from the dividends received deduction (“DRD”), the small life insurance company deduction (“SLD”) and the change in deferred tax asset valuation allowance. The current estimated DRD is adjusted as underlying factors change and can vary from the estimates based on, but not limited to, actual distributions from these investments as well as appropriate levels of taxable income. The SLD varies in amount and is determined at a rate of 60 percent of the tentative life insurance company taxable income (“LICTI”). The amount of the SLD for any taxable year is reduced (but not below zero) by 15 percent of the tentative LICTI for such taxable year as it exceeds $3.0 million and is ultimately phased out at $15.0 million. The change in deferred tax asset valuation allowance was primarily due to the unanticipated utilization of certain capital loss carryforward benefits that had been previously reduced to zero through an existing valuation allowance reserve.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The primary cash needs of the Company are for the payment of claims and operating expenses, maintaining adequate statutory capital and surplus levels, and meeting debt service requirements. Current and expected patterns of claim frequency and severity may change from period to period but generally are expected to continue within historical ranges. The Company’s primary sources of cash are written premiums, investment income, proceeds from the sale and maturity of its invested assets and, if necessary, available borrowings under the Credit Agreement (defined below). The Company believes that, within each operating company, total invested assets will be sufficient to satisfy all policy liabilities and that cash inflows from investment earnings, future premium receipts and reinsurance collections will be adequate to fund the payment of claims and expenses as needed.

Cash flows at the Parent are derived from dividends, management fees, and tax-sharing payments, as described below, from the subsidiaries. The cash needs of the Parent are for the payment of operating expenses, the acquisition of capital assets and debt service requirements. At June 30, 2012, the Parent had approximately $25.8 million of unrestricted cash and investments. The Company believes that traditional funding sources for the Parent, combined with current cash and investments, should provide sufficient liquidity for the Company for the foreseeable future.

The Parent’s insurance subsidiaries reported statutory net income of $1.0 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 compared to statutory net income of $3.2 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2011. Statutory results are impacted by the recognition of all costs of acquiring business. In a scenario in which the Company is growing, statutory results are generally lower than results determined under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Statutory results for the Company’s property and casualty operations may differ from the Company’s results of operations under GAAP due to the deferral of acquisition costs for financial reporting purposes. The Company’s life and health operations’ statutory results may differ from GAAP results primarily due to the deferral of acquisition costs for financial reporting purposes, as well as the use of different reserving methods.

Table of Contents

Over 90% of the invested assets of the Parent’s insurance subsidiaries are invested in marketable securities that can be converted into cash, if required; however, the use of such assets by the Company is limited by state insurance regulations. Dividend payments to a parent corporation by its wholly owned insurance subsidiaries are subject to annual limitations and are restricted to the greater of 10% of statutory surplus or statutory earnings before recognizing realized investment gains of the individual insurance subsidiaries. At June 30, 2012, American Southern had $37.7 million of statutory surplus and Bankers Fidelity had $33.1 million of statutory surplus. In 2012, dividend payments by the Parent’s insurance subsidiaries in excess of $7.8 million would require prior approval.

The Parent provides certain administrative and other services to each of its insurance subsidiaries. The amounts charged to and paid by the subsidiaries include reimbursements for various shared services and other expenses incurred directly on behalf of the subsidiaries by the Parent. In addition, there is in place a formal tax-sharing agreement between the Parent and its insurance subsidiaries. It is anticipated that this agreement will provide the Parent with additional funds from profitable subsidiaries due to the subsidiaries' use of the Parent’s tax loss carryforwards, which totaled approximately $4.6 million at June 30, 2012.

In addition to these internal funding sources, the Company maintains its revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), pursuant to which the Company is able to, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, borrow or reborrow up to $5.0 million. The interest rate on amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement is, at the option of the Company, equivalent to either (a) the base rate (which equals the higher of the Prime Rate or 0.5% above the Federal Funds Rate, each as defined) or (b) the LIBOR determined on an interest period of 1-month, 2-months, 3-months or 6-months, plus 2.00%. Interest on amounts outstanding is payable quarterly. The Credit Agreement requires the Company to comply with certain covenants, including, among others, ratios that relate funded debt to both total capitalization and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as well as the maintenance of minimum levels of tangible net worth. The Company must also comply with limitations on capital expenditures, certain payments, additional debt obligations, equity repurchases and certain redemptions, as well as minimum risk-based capital levels. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, Wells Fargo may terminate the Credit Agreement and declare all amounts outstanding due and payable in full. During the six month period ended June 30, 2012, there was no balance outstanding under this Credit Agreement and the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants of the Credit Agreement. The termination date of this Credit Agreement is August 31, 2012. While the Company currently believes that it would be able to timely enter into a replacement credit facility, on substantially similar terms, there are currently no plans to renew or replace the Credit Agreement upon its scheduled termination. No assurances can be provided, however, that the Company will be able to enter into a new credit facility in the future at times, or on terms, acceptable to the Company.

The Company has two statutory trusts which exist for the exclusive purpose of issuing trust preferred securities representing undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the trusts and investing the gross proceeds of the trust preferred securities in junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures (“Junior Subordinated Debentures”). The outstanding $18.0 million and $23.2 million of Junior Subordinated Debentures mature on December 4, 2032 and May 15, 2033, respectively, are callable quarterly, in whole or in part, only at the option of the Company, and have an interest rate of three-month LIBOR plus an applicable margin. The margin ranges from 4.00% to 4.10%. At June 30, 2012, the effective interest rate was 4.5%. The obligations of the Company with respect to the issuances of the trust preferred securities represent a full and unconditional guarantee by the Parent of each trust’s obligations with respect to the trust preferred securities. Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, the Company may elect from time to time to defer Junior Subordinated Debenture interest payments, which would result in a deferral of distribution payments on the related trust preferred securities. The Company has not made such an election.

During 2006, the Company entered into a zero cost interest rate collar with Wells Fargo to hedge future interest payments on a portion of the Junior Subordinated Debentures. The notional amount of the collar was $18.0 million with an effective date of March 6, 2006. The collar has a LIBOR floor rate of 4.77% and a LIBOR cap rate of 5.85% and adjusts quarterly on the 4 th of each March, June, September and December through termination on March 4, 2013. The Company began making payments to Wells Fargo under the zero cost interest rate collar on June 4, 2008. As a result of interest rates remaining below the LIBOR floor rate of 4.77% through June 30, 2012, these payments to Wells Fargo have continued. While the Company may be exposed to counterparty risk should Wells Fargo fail to perform its obligations under this agreement, based on the current level of interest rates coupled with the current macroeconomic outlook, the Company believes that its current exposure to nonperformance risks is minimal.

The Company intends to pay its obligations under the Credit Agreement, if any, and the Junior Subordinated Debentures using existing cash balances, dividend and tax-sharing payments from the operating subsidiaries, or from potential future financing arrangements.

Table of Contents

At June 30, 2012, the Company had 70,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock (“Series D Preferred Stock”) outstanding. All of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock are held by an affiliate of the Company’s controlling shareholder. The outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock have a stated value of $100 per share; accrue annual dividends at a rate of $7.25 per share (payable in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock at the option of the board of directors of the Company) and are cumulative. In certain circumstances, the shares of the Series D Preferred Stock may be convertible into an aggregate of approximately 1,754,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to certain adjustments and provided that such adjustments do not result in the Company issuing more than approximately 2,703,000 shares of common stock without obtaining prior shareholder approval; and are redeemable solely at the Company’s option. The Series D Preferred Stock is not currently convertible. At June 30, 2012, the Company had accrued but unpaid dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock totaling $0.3 million.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $0.7 million in the six month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $1.0 million in the six month period ended June 30, 2011. Cash and cash equivalents increased from $21.3 million at December 31, 2011 to $21.9 million at June 30, 2012. The increase in cash and cash equivalents during the six month period ended June 30, 2012 was primarily due to cash provided by operating activities as well as normal sales and maturities exceeding the purchase of investments. Partially offsetting the increase were dividends paid on the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock and common stock in the six month period ended June 30, 2012 of $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

The Company believes that the dividends, fees, and tax-sharing payments it receives from its subsidiaries will enable the Company to meet its liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future. Management is not aware of any current recommendations by regulatory authorities, which, if implemented, would have a material adverse effect on the Company's liquidity, capital resources or operations.

Item 4. Controls and Proced ures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management necessarily applies its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management’s control objectives. The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures can prevent all possible errors or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. There are inherent limitations in all control systems, including the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of one or more persons. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and, while our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to be effective under circumstances where they should reasonably be expected to operate effectively, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of the inherent limitations in any control system, misstatements due to possible errors or fraud may occur and may not be detected. As previously disclosed, as a result of the determination on March 26, 2012, that an other than temporary impairment on certain equity securities was more appropriately recognized in the fourth quarter of 2010 rather than in 2011 and that the Company would restate its financial statements for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2010, management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that, due to the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting in the area of other than temporary impairments for investments, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2011. Also as previously disclosed, subsequent to December 31, 2011, and immediately following management's identification of the above-referenced weakness, management implemented steps to remediate the material weakness. These efforts involved, among others, development of a more robust quarterly analysis of investments which have fair values less than their historical costs and adoption of stricter policies with respect to unrealized losses on investments, particularly common stocks. Based on the foregoing, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Except as described above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
