EXPLANATORY NOTE

Review Report of Independent Auditors

The Board of Directors
United Teacher Associates Insurance Company

We have reviewed the financial information of United Teacher Associates Insurance Company, which comprise the balance sheet as of September 30, 2015, and the related statements of earnings, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Information

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the interim financial information in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; this includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control sufficient to provide a reasonable basis for the preparation and fair presentation of interim financial information in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to conduct our review in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States applicable to reviews of interim financial information. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial information. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the financial information referred to above for it to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

UNITED TEACHER ASSOCIATES INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) - CONTINUED

A.
Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation   The accompanying interim financial statements are unaudited; however, management believes that all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals unless otherwise indicated) necessary for a fair presentation have been made.  The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the year.  The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim reporting. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014.   There are no changes to our significant accounting policies described in our audited financial statements.

The financial statements include the accounts of United Teacher Associates Insurance Company (“UTAIC” or the “Company”).  UTAIC is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Great American Financial Resources, Inc. (“GAFRI”), a financial services holding company wholly-owned by American Financial Group, Inc. (“AFG”).  The financial statements also include costs paid on behalf of UTAIC by GAFRI.  These costs are recorded as expense in the period incurred and shown as an increase in capital surplus.

Although the Company does not currently market any life, annuity or long-term care insurance, UTAIC’s product portfolio includes a diversified mix of closed blocks of life, annuity and long-term care (“LTC”) health insurance products.
 
The Company accepts new premium sales (Medicare supplement, critical illness and other non-health products), for certain states, through a reinsurance fronting agreement, whereby the Company  reinsures 100% of these premiums through a coinsurance agreement with Loyal American Life Insurance Company, a Cigna subsidiary.
 
Fair Value Measurements   Accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The standards establish a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (“inputs”) are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect UTAIC’s assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Investments  Fixed maturity and equity securities classified as “available for sale” are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) in UTAIC’s Balance Sheet.  Policy loans are carried primarily at the aggregate unpaid balance.

Premiums and discounts on fixed maturity securities are amortized using the interest method. Mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) are amortized over a period based on estimated future principal payments, including prepayments. Prepayment assumptions are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect actual prepayments and changes in expectations.

UNITED TEACHER ASSOCIATES INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) - CONTINUED
 
Gains or losses on securities are determined on the specific identification basis. When a decline in the value of a specific investment is considered to be other-than-temporary at the balance sheet date, a provision for impairment is charged to earnings (included in realized gains (losses) on securities) and the cost basis of that investment is reduced. If management can assert that it does not intend to sell an impaired fixed maturity security and it is not more likely than not that it will have to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, then the other-than-temporary impairment is separated into two components: (i) the amount related to credit losses (recorded in earnings) and (ii) the amount related to all other factors (recorded in other comprehensive income). The credit-related portion of an other-than-temporary impairment is measured by comparing a security’s amortized cost to the present value of its current expected cash flows discounted at its effective yield prior to the impairment charge. Both components are shown in the Statement of Earnings. If management intends to sell an impaired security, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery, an impairment charge to earnings is recorded to reduce the amortized cost of that security to fair value.

Derivatives   Derivatives included in UTAIC’s Balance Sheet are recorded at fair value and consist of components of certain fixed maturity securities (primarily interest-only MBS).  Changes in fair value of derivatives are included in earnings.

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs (“DPAC”)   Policy acquisition costs (principally commissions and certain underwriting and policy issuance costs) directly related to the successful acquisition or renewal of an insurance contract are deferred. DPAC also includes capitalized costs associated with sales inducements offered to fixed annuity policyholders such as enhanced interest rates and premium and persistency bonuses.

DPAC related to annuities is deferred to the extent deemed recoverable and amortized, with interest, in relation to the present value of actual and expected gross profits on the policies. Expected gross profits consist principally of estimated future investment margin (estimated future net investment income less interest credited on policyholder funds) and surrender, mortality, and other life and annuity policy charges, less death, annuitization and estimated future policy administration expenses. To the extent that realized gains and losses result in adjustments to the amortization of DPAC related to annuities, such adjustments are reflected as components of realized gains (losses) on securities.

DPAC related to traditional life and health insurance is amortized over the expected premium paying period of the related policies, in proportion to the ratio of annual premium revenues to total anticipated premium revenues. See “Life, Accident and Health Reserves” below for details on the impact of loss recognition on the accounting for traditional life and health insurance contracts.

DPAC includes the present value of future profits on business in force of annuity,  life, accident and health insurance companies acquired (“PVFP”). PVFP represents the portion of the costs to acquire companies that is allocated to the value of the right to receive future cash flows from insurance contracts existing at the date of acquisition. PVFP is amortized with interest in relation to expected gross profits of the acquired policies for annuities and in relation to the premium paying period for traditional life and health insurance products.

DPAC and certain other balance sheet amounts related to annuity and life businesses are also adjusted, net of tax, for the change in expense that would have been recorded if the unrealized gains (losses) from securities had actually been realized. These adjustments are included in unrealized gains (losses) on marketable securities, a component of AOCI in UTAIC’s Balance Sheet.

UNITED TEACHER ASSOCIATES INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) - CONTINUED
 
Reinsurance  Premium revenue and benefits are reported net of the amounts related to reinsurance ceded to and assumed from other companies.  Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with the claim liability associated with the reinsured policies.  Amounts received from reinsurers that represent recovery of acquisition costs are netted against DPAC, so that the net amount is capitalized.  The cost of reinsurance is accounted for over the term of the related treaties using assumptions consistent with those used to account for the underlying reinsured policies.

Annuity Benefits Accumulated   Annuity receipts and benefit payments are recorded as increases or decreases in annuity benefits accumulated rather than as revenue and expense. Increases in this liability (primarily interest credited) are charged to expense and decreases for charges are credited to annuity policy charges revenue.  Reserves for traditional fixed annuities are generally recorded at the stated account value.

Life, Accident and Health Reserves  Liabilities for future policy benefits under traditional life, accident and health policies are computed using the net level premium method. Computations are based on the original projections of investment yields, mortality, morbidity and surrenders and include provisions for unfavorable deviations unless a loss recognition event (premium deficiency) occurs. Claim reserves and liabilities established for accident and health claims are modified as necessary to reflect actual experience and developing trends.

For long-duration contracts (such as traditional life and long-term care insurance policies), loss recognition occurs when, based on current expectations as of the measurement date, existing contract liabilities plus the present value of future premiums (including reasonably expected rate increases) are not expected to cover the present value of future claims payments and related settlement and maintenance costs (excluding overhead) as well as unamortized acquisition costs. If a block of business is determined to be in loss recognition, a charge is recorded in earnings in an amount equal to the excess of the present value of expected future claims costs and unamortized acquisition costs over existing reserves plus the present value of expected future premiums (with no provision for adverse deviation). The charge is recorded first to reduce unamortized acquisition costs and then as an additional reserve (if unamortized acquisition costs have been reduced to zero).

In addition, reserves for traditional life and long-term care insurance policies are subject to adjustment for loss recognition charges that would have been recorded if the unrealized gains from securities had actually been realized. This adjustment is included in unrealized gains (losses) on marketable securities, a component of AOCI in UTAIC’s Balance Sheet.

Premium Recognition   For traditional life, accident and health products, premiums are recognized as revenue when legally collectible from policyholders.

Income Taxes   The Company has an intercompany tax allocation agreement with AFG. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company’s tax expense is determined based upon its inclusion in the consolidated tax return of AFG and its includable subsidiaries. Estimated payments are made quarterly during the year. Following year-end, additional settlements are made on the original due date of the return and, when extended, at the time the return is filed. The method of allocation among the companies under the agreement is based upon separate return calculations with current credit for losses to the extent the losses provide a benefit in the consolidated return.

Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases and are measured using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is established to reduce total deferred tax assets to an amount that will more likely than not be realized.

UTAIC recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained under examination by the appropriate taxing authority. Interest and penalties on UTAIC’s reserve for uncertain tax positions are recognized as a component of tax expense.

Benefit Plans   UTAIC provides retirement benefits to qualified employees of participating companies through the AFG 401(k) Retirement and Savings Plan, a defined contribution plan. AFG and its subsidiaries make all contributions to the retirement fund portion of the plan and match a percentage of employee contributions to the savings fund. Company contributions are expensed in the year for which they are declared.

Statement of Cash Flows   For cash flow purposes, “investing activities” are defined as making and collecting loans and acquiring and disposing of debt or equity instruments and property and equipment. “Financing activities” include obtaining resources from owners and providing them with a return on their investments, borrowing money and repaying amounts borrowed. Annuity receipts, surrenders, benefits and withdrawals are also reflected as financing activities. All other activities are considered “operating.” Short-term investments having original maturities of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents for purposes of the financial statements.

B. Fair Value Measurements

Accounting standards for measuring fair value are based on inputs used in estimating fair value. The three levels of the hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets (markets in which transactions occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis). UTAIC’s Level 1 financial instruments consist primarily of publicly traded equity securities and highly liquid government bonds for which quoted market prices in active markets are available.

Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets (markets in which there are few transactions, the prices are not current, price quotations vary substantially over time or among market makers, or in which little information is released publicly); and valuations based on other significant inputs that are observable in active markets. UTAIC’s Level 2 financial instruments include corporate and municipal fixed maturity securities, mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) and non-affiliated common stocks priced using observable inputs. Level 2 inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, corroborated broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads and benchmark securities. When non-binding broker quotes can be corroborated by comparison to similar securities priced using observable inputs, they are classified as Level 2.

Level 3 — Valuations derived from market valuation techniques generally consistent with those used to estimate the fair values of Level 2 financial instruments in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable or when the market for a security exhibits significantly less liquidity relative to markets supporting Level 2 fair value measurements. The unobservable inputs may include management’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use based on the best information available in the circumstances. UTAIC’s Level 3 is comprised of financial instruments whose fair value is estimated based on non-binding broker quotes or internally developed using significant inputs not based on, or corroborated by, observable market information.

UTAIC’s management is responsible for the valuation process and uses data from outside sources (including nationally recognized pricing services and broker/dealers) in establishing fair value. The Company's internal investment professionals are a group of approximately 20 analysts whose primary responsibility is to manage AFG’s investment portfolio. These professionals monitor individual investments as well as overall industries and are active in the financial markets on a daily basis. The group is led by AFG’s chief investment officer, who reports directly to one of AFG’s Co-CEOs. Valuation techniques utilized by pricing services and prices obtained from external sources are reviewed by AFG’s internal investment professionals who are familiar with the securities being priced and the markets in which they trade to ensure the fair value determination is representative of an exit price. To validate the appropriateness of the prices obtained, these investment managers consider widely published indices (as benchmarks), recent trades, changes in interest rates, general economic conditions and the credit quality of the specific issuers. In addition, AFG communicates directly with the pricing service regarding the methods and assumptions used in pricing, including verifying, on a test basis, the inputs used by the service to value specific securities.

Transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 for all periods presented were a result of increases or decreases in trade frequency.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 there was one common stock with a fair value of $139,000 transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 and one perpetual preferred stock with a fair value of $1 million transferred from Level 1 to level 2.  There was one perpetual preferred stock with a fair value of $1 million transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 and one perpetual preferred stock with a fair value of $1 million transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  Approximately 4% of the total assets carried at fair value on September 30, 2015, were Level 3 assets. Approximately 63% ($28 million) of the Level 3 assets were priced using non-binding broker quotes, for which there is a lack of transparency as to the inputs used to determine fair value. Details as to the quantitative inputs are neither provided by the brokers nor otherwise reasonably obtainable by UTAIC. Since internally developed Level 3 asset fair values represent less than of 1% of the total assets measured at fair value and approximately only 4% of UTAIC’s shareholder’s equity, changes in unobservable inputs used to determine internally developed fair values would not have a material impact on UTAIC’s financial position.

Changes in balances of Level 3 financial assets carried at fair value during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 are presented below (in thousands). The transfers into and out of Level 3 were due to changes in the availability of market observable inputs. All transfers are reflected in the table at fair value as of the end of the reporting period.

Excludes $564 and $360 of life contingent annuities in the payout phase at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair value of policy loans is estimated to approximate carrying value; policy loans have no defined maturity dates and are inseparable from insurance contracts. The fair value of annuity benefits was estimated based on expected cash flows discounted using forward interest rates adjusted for the Company’s credit risk and includes the impact of maintenance expenses and capital costs.

At September 30, 2015, the gross unrealized losses on fixed maturities of $7.1 million relate to 126 securities. Investment grade securities (as determined by nationally recognized rating agencies) represented approximately 86% of the gross unrealized loss and 80% of the fair value.

UNITED TEACHER ASSOCIATES INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) - CONTINUED

The determination of whether unrealized losses are “other-than-temporary” requires judgment based on subjective as well as objective factors. Factors considered and resources used by management include:

 
a)
whether the unrealized loss is credit-driven or a result of changes in market interest rates,
 
b)
the extent to which fair value is less than cost basis,
 
c)
cash flow projections received from independent sources,
 
d)
historical operating, balance sheet and cash flow data contained in issuer SEC filings and news releases,
 
e)
near-term prospects for improvement in the issuer and/or its industry,
 
f)
third party research and communications with industry specialists,
 
g)
financial models and forecasts,
 
h)
the continuity of dividend payments, maintenance of investment grade ratings and hybrid nature of certain investments,
 
i)
discussions with issuer management, and
 
j)
ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for anticipated recovery in fair value.

UTAIC analyzes its MBS securities for other-than-temporary impairment each quarter based upon expected future cash flows. Management estimates expected future cash flows based upon its knowledge of the MBS market, cash flow projections (which reflect loan to collateral values, subordination, vintage and geographic concentration) received from independent sources, implied cash flows inherent in security ratings and analysis of historical payment data. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, UTAIC recorded $140,000 and $0, respectively, in other-than-temporary impairment charges related to its residential MBS.

UTAIC recorded $3.4 million in other-than-temporary impairment charges on common stocks in for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. At September 30, 2015, the gross unrealized losses on common stocks of $4.4 million relate to 24 securities, no securities have been in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months.

Management believes UTAIC will recover its cost basis in the securities with unrealized losses and that UTAIC has the ability to hold the securities until they recover in value and had no intent to sell them at September 30, 2015.

Certain risks are inherent in connection with fixed maturity securities, including loss upon default, price volatility in reaction to changes in interest rates, and general market factors and risks associated with reinvestment of proceeds due to prepayments or redemptions in a period of declining interest rates.

There were no investments in individual issuers that exceeded 10% of Shareholder’s Equity at September 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

Net Unrealized Gain on Marketable Securities  In addition to adjusting equity securities and fixed maturity securities classified as “available for sale” to fair value, GAAP requires that deferred policy acquisition costs and certain other balance sheet amounts related to annuity, life and health businesses be adjusted to the extent that unrealized gains and losses from securities would result in adjustments to those balances had the unrealized gains or losses actually been realized. The following table shows (in thousands) the components of the net unrealized gain on securities that is included in AOCI in UTAIC’s Balance Sheet.

D. Derivatives

UTAIC has investments in MBS that contain embedded derivatives (primarily interest-only MBS) that do not qualify for hedge accounting. UTAIC records the entire change in the fair value of these securities in earnings.  These investments are part of UTAIC’s overall investment strategy, representing a small component of UTAIC’s overall investment portfolio and had a fair value of $17.5 million at September 30, 2015 and $21.5 million at December 31, 2014.  The gain or loss resulting for changes in fair value of these securities is included in realized gains on securities in the Statement of Earnings and was a loss of $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and a gain of $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

G. Contingencies

UTAIC is involved in litigation from time to time, generally arising in the ordinary course of business. This litigation may include, but is not limited to, general commercial disputes, lawsuits brought by policyholders, employment matters, reinsurance collection matters and actions challenging certain business practices of insurance subsidiaries. None of these matters are expected to have a material adverse impact on UTAIC’s results of operations or financial condition.

H. Subsequent Event

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through November 19, 2015, the date its financial statements were available to be issued.

On April 14, 2015 GAFRI and UTAIC entered into a definitive agreement with HC2 Holding Inc. to sell all of the stock of UTAIC and Continental General Insurance Company, an affiliate.  The agreement is subject to receipt of regulatory approvals and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Review Report of Independent Auditors

The Board of Directors
Continental General Insurance Company

We have reviewed the financial information of Continental General Insurance Company, which comprise the balance sheet as of September 30, 2015, and the related statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Information

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the interim financial information in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; this includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control sufficient to provide a reasonable basis for the preparation and fair presentation of interim financial information in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to conduct our review in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States applicable to reviews of interim financial information. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial information. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the financial information referred to above for it to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — CONTINUED
 
A. Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation   The accompanying interim financial statements are unaudited; however, management believes that all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals unless otherwise indicated) necessary for a fair presentation have been made.  The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the year.  The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim reporting. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014.   There are no changes to our significant accounting policies described in our audited financial statements.

The financial statements include the accounts of Continental General Insurance Company (“CGI” or the “Company”).  CGI is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Great American Financial Resources, Inc. (“GAFRI”), a financial services holding company wholly-owned by American Financial Group, Inc. (“AFG”).  The financial statements also include costs paid on behalf of CGI by GAFRI.  These costs are recorded as expense in the period incurred and shown as an increase in capital surplus.

Although the Company does not currently market any life, annuity or long-term care insurance, CGI’s product portfolio includes a diversified mix of closed blocks of life, annuity and long-term care (“LTC”) health insurance products.

The Company accepted new premium sales (Medicare supplement, critical illness and other non-health products), for certain states, through a reinsurance fronting agreement through August 2014, whereby the Company reinsures 100% of these premiums through a coinsurance agreement with Loyal American Life Insurance Company, a Cigna subsidiary.

Fair Value Measurements   Accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The standards establish a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (“inputs”) are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect CGI’s assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Investments  Fixed maturity and equity securities classified as “available for sale” are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) in CGI’s Balance Sheet.  Mortgage and policy loans are carried primarily at the aggregate unpaid balance.

Premiums and discounts on fixed maturity securities are amortized using the interest method. Mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) are amortized over a period based on estimated future principal payments, including prepayments. Prepayment assumptions are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect actual prepayments and changes in expectations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — CONTINUED
 
Gains or losses on securities are determined on the specific identification basis. When a decline in the value of a specific investment is considered to be other-than-temporary at the balance sheet date, a provision for impairment is charged to earnings (included in realized gains (losses) on securities) and the cost basis of that investment is reduced. If management can assert that it does not intend to sell an impaired fixed maturity security and it is not more likely than not that it will have to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, then the other-than-temporary impairment is separated into two components: (i) the amount related to credit losses (recorded in earnings) and (ii) the amount related to all other factors (recorded in other comprehensive income). The credit-related portion of an other-than-temporary impairment is measured by comparing a security’s amortized cost to the present value of its current expected cash flows discounted at its effective yield prior to the impairment charge. Both components are shown in the Statement of Operations. If management intends to sell an impaired security, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery, an impairment charge to earnings is recorded to reduce the amortized cost of that security to fair value.

Derivatives   Derivatives included in CGI’s Balance Sheet are recorded at fair value and consist of components of certain fixed maturity securities (primarily interest-only MBS).  Changes in fair value of derivatives are included in earnings.

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs (“DPAC”)   Policy acquisition costs (principally commissions and certain underwriting and policy issuance costs) directly related to the successful acquisition or renewal of an insurance contract are deferred.

DPAC related to annuities, universal life and interest-sensitive life policies is deferred to the extent deemed recoverable and amortized, with interest, in relation to the present value of actual and expected gross profits on the policies. Expected gross profits consist principally of estimated future investment margin (estimated future net investment income less interest credited on policyholder funds) and surrender, mortality, and other life and annuity policy charges, less death, annuitization and estimated future policy administration expenses. To the extent that realized gains and losses result in adjustments to the amortization of DPAC related to annuities, universal life and interest-sensitive life policies, such adjustments are reflected as components of realized gains (losses) on securities.

DPAC related to traditional life and health insurance is amortized over the expected premium paying period of the related policies, in proportion to the ratio of annual premium revenues to total anticipated premium revenues. See “Life, Accident and Health Reserves” below for details on the impact of loss recognition on the accounting for traditional life and health insurance contracts.

DPAC includes the present value of future profits on business in force of annuity, life, accident and health insurance companies acquired (“PVFP”). PVFP represents the portion of the costs to acquire companies that is allocated to the value of the right to receive future cash flows from insurance contracts existing at the date of acquisition. PVFP is amortized with interest in relation to expected gross profits of the acquired policies for annuities and universal life products and in relation to the premium paying period for traditional life and health insurance products.

DPAC and certain other balance sheet amounts related to annuity and life businesses are also adjusted, net of tax, for the change in expense that would have been recorded if the unrealized gains (losses) from securities had actually been realized. These adjustments are included in unrealized gains (losses) on marketable securities, a component of AOCI in CGI’s Balance Sheet.

Reinsurance   Premium revenue and benefits are reported net of the amounts related to reinsurance ceded to and assumed from other companies.  Expense allowances from reinsurers are included in other operating and general expenses.  Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with the claim liability associated with the reinsured policies.  Amounts received from reinsurers that represent recovery of acquisition costs are netted against DPAC, so that the net amount is capitalized.  The cost of reinsurance is accounted for over the term of the related treaties using assumptions consistent with those used to account for the underlying reinsured policies.

CONTINENTAL GENERAL INSURANCE COMPANY
 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — CONTINUED
 
Annuity Benefits Accumulated   Annuity receipts and benefit payments are recorded as increases or decreases in annuity benefits accumulated rather than as revenue and expense. Increases in this liability (primarily interest credited) are charged to expense and decreases for charges are credited to annuity policy charges revenue.  Reserves for traditional fixed annuities are generally recorded at the stated account value.

Life, Accident and Health Reserves  Liabilities for future policy benefits under traditional life, accident and health policies are computed using the net level premium method. Computations are based on the original projections of investment yields, mortality, morbidity and surrenders and include provisions for unfavorable deviations unless a loss recognition event (premium deficiency) occurs. Claim reserves and liabilities established for accident and health claims are modified as necessary to reflect actual experience and developing trends. Reserves for interest-sensitive whole life and universal life policies are generally recorded at contract value.

For long-duration contracts (such as traditional life and long-term care insurance policies), loss recognition occurs when, based on current expectations as of the measurement date, existing contract liabilities plus the present value of future premiums (including reasonably expected rate increases) are not expected to cover the present value of future claims payments and related settlement and maintenance costs (excluding overhead) as well as unamortized acquisition costs. If a block of business is determined to be in loss recognition, a charge is recorded in earnings in an amount equal to the excess of the present value of expected future claims costs and unamortized acquisition costs over existing reserves plus the present value of expected future premiums (with no provision for adverse deviation). The charge is recorded first to reduce unamortized acquisition costs and then as an additional reserve (if unamortized acquisition costs have been reduced to zero).

In addition, reserves for traditional life and long-term care insurance policies are subject to adjustment for loss recognition charges that would have been recorded if the unrealized gains from securities had actually been realized. This adjustment is included in unrealized gains (losses) on marketable securities, a component of AOCI in CGI’s Balance Sheet.

Premium Recognition   For traditional life, accident and health products, premiums are recognized as revenue when legally collectible from policyholders. For interest-sensitive life and universal life products, premiums are recorded in a policyholder account, which is reflected as a liability. Revenue is recognized as amounts are assessed against the policyholder account for mortality coverage and contract expenses.

Income Taxes   The Company has an intercompany tax allocation agreement with AFG. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company’s tax expense is determined based upon its inclusion in the consolidated tax return of AFG and its includable subsidiaries. Estimated payments are made quarterly during the year. Following year-end, additional settlements are made on the original due date of the return and, when extended, at the time the return is filed. The method of allocation among the companies under the agreement is based upon separate return calculations with current credit for losses to the extent the losses provide a benefit in the consolidated return.

Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases and are measured using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is established to reduce total deferred tax assets to an amount that will more likely than not be realized.

CGI recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained under examination by the appropriate taxing authority. Interest and penalties on CGI’s reserve for uncertain tax positions are recognized as a component of tax expense.

Benefit Plans   CGI provides retirement benefits to qualified employees of participating companies through the AFG 401(k) Retirement and Savings Plan, a defined contribution plan. AFG and its subsidiaries make all contributions to the retirement fund portion of the plan and match a percentage of employee contributions to the savings fund. Company contributions are expensed in the year for which they are declared.

Statement of Cash Flows   For cash flow purposes, “investing activities” are defined as making and collecting loans and acquiring and disposing of debt or equity instruments and property and equipment. “Financing activities” include obtaining resources from owners and providing them with a return on their investments, borrowing money and repaying amounts borrowed. Annuity receipts, surrenders, benefits and withdrawals are also reflected as financing activities. All other activities are considered “operating.” Short-term investments having original maturities of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents for purposes of the financial statements.
 
B. Fair Value Measurements

Accounting standards for measuring fair value are based on inputs used in estimating fair value. The three levels of the hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets (markets in which transactions occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis). CGI’s Level 1 financial instruments consist primarily of publicly traded equity securities and highly liquid government bonds for which quoted market prices in active markets are available.

Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets (markets in which there are few transactions, the prices are not current, price quotations vary substantially over time or among market makers, or in which little information is released publicly); and valuations based on other significant inputs that are observable in active markets. CGI’s Level 2 financial instruments include corporate and municipal fixed maturity securities, mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) and non-affiliated common stocks priced using observable inputs. Level 2 inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, corroborated broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads and benchmark securities. When non-binding broker quotes can be corroborated by comparison to similar securities priced using observable inputs, they are classified as Level 2.

Level 3 — Valuations derived from market valuation techniques generally consistent with those used to estimate the fair values of Level 2 financial instruments in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable or when the market for a security exhibits significantly less liquidity relative to markets supporting Level 2 fair value measurements. The unobservable inputs may include management’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use based on the best information available in the circumstances. CGI’s Level 3 is comprised of financial instruments whose fair value is estimated based on non-binding broker quotes or internally developed using significant inputs not based on, or corroborated by, observable market information.

CONTINENTAL GENERAL INSURANCE COMPANY
 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — CONTINUED
 
CGI’s management is responsible for the valuation process and uses data from outside sources (including nationally recognized pricing services and broker/dealers) in establishing fair value. The Company's internal investment professionals are a group of approximately 20 analysts whose primary responsibility is to manage AFG’s investment portfolio. These professionals monitor individual investments as well as overall industries and are active in the financial markets on a daily basis. The group is led by AFG’s chief investment officer, who reports directly to one of AFG’s Co-CEOs. Valuation techniques utilized by pricing services and prices obtained from external sources are reviewed by AFG’s internal investment professionals who are familiar with the securities being priced and the markets in which they trade to ensure the fair value determination is representative of an exit price. To validate the appropriateness of the prices obtained, these investment managers consider widely published indices (as benchmarks), recent trades, changes in interest rates, general economic conditions and the credit quality of the specific issuers. In addition, the Company communicates directly with the pricing service regarding the methods and assumptions used in pricing, including verifying, on a test basis, the inputs used by the service to value specific securities.

At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 no liabilities were carried at fair value.

Transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 for all periods presented were a result of increases or decreases in trade frequency.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 there was one common stock with a fair value of $46,000 transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 and one perpetual preferred stock with a fair value of $1 million transferred from Level 1 to Level 2.  There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  Approximately 4% of the total assets carried at fair value on September 30, 2015, were Level 3 assets. Approximately 53% ($5 million) of the Level 3 assets were priced using non-binding broker quotes, for which there is a lack of transparency as to the inputs used to determine fair value. Details as to the quantitative inputs are neither provided by the brokers nor otherwise reasonably obtainable by CGI. Since internally developed Level 3 asset fair values represent less than 1% of the total assets measured at fair value and approximately 3% of CGI’s shareholder’s equity, changes in unobservable inputs used to determine internally developed fair values would not have a material impact on CGI’s financial position.

Excludes $1,369 and $1,459 of life contingent annuities in the payout phase at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
 
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Fair values for mortgage loans are estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings. The fair value of policy loans is estimated to approximate carrying value; policy loans have no defined maturity dates and are inseparable from insurance contracts. The fair value of annuity benefits was estimated based on expected cash flows discounted using forward interest rates adjusted for the Company’s credit risk and includes the impact of maintenance expenses and capital costs.

At September 30, 2015, the gross unrealized losses on fixed maturities of $1.1 million relate to 35 securities. Investment grade securities (as determined by nationally recognized rating agencies) represented approximately 94% of the gross unrealized loss and 77% of the fair value.

The determination of whether unrealized losses are “other-than-temporary” requires judgment based on subjective as well as objective factors. Factors considered and resources used by management include:

a) whether the unrealized loss is credit-driven or a result of changes in market interest rates,
b) the extent to which fair value is less than cost basis,
c) cash flow projections received from independent sources,
d) historical operating, balance sheet and cash flow data contained in issuer SEC filings and news releases,
e) near-term prospects for improvement in the issuer and/or its industry,
f) third party research and communications with industry specialists,
g) financial models and forecasts,
h) the continuity of dividend payments, maintenance of investment grade ratings and hybrid nature of certain investments,
i) discussions with issuer management, and
j) ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for anticipated recovery in fair value.

CGI analyzes its MBS securities for other-than-temporary impairment each quarter based upon expected future cash flows. Management estimates expected future cash flows based upon its knowledge of the MBS market, cash flow projections (which reflect loan to collateral values, subordination, vintage and geographic concentration) received from independent sources, implied cash flows inherent in security ratings and analysis of historical payment data. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, CGI recorded $24,000 and $0, respectively, in other-than-temporary impairment charges related to its residential MBS.

CGI recorded $695,000 in other-than-temporary impairment charges on common stocks for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. At September 30, 2015, the gross unrealized losses on common stocks of $768,000 relate to 13 securities, none of which has been in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months.

Management believes CGI will recover its cost basis in the securities with unrealized losses and that CGI has the ability to hold the securities until they recover in value and had no intent to sell them at September 30, 2015.

A progression of the credit portion of other-than-temporary impairments on fixed maturity securities for which the non-credit portion of an impairment has been recognized in other comprehensive income is shown below (in thousands):

Certain risks are inherent in connection with fixed maturity securities, including loss upon default, price volatility in reaction to changes in interest rates, and general market factors and risks associated with reinvestment of proceeds due to prepayments or redemptions in a period of declining interest rates.

There were no investments in individual issuers that exceeded 10% of Shareholder’s Equity at September 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

Net Unrealized Gain on Marketable Securities  In addition to adjusting equity securities and fixed maturity securities classified as “available for sale” to fair value, GAAP requires that deferred policy acquisition costs and certain other balance sheet amounts related to annuity, life and health businesses be adjusted to the extent that unrealized gains and losses from securities would result in adjustments to those balances had the unrealized gains or losses actually been realized.

CGI records the entire change in the fair value of these securities in earnings.  These investments are part of CGI’s overall investment strategy, representing a small component of CGI’s overall investment portfolio and had a fair value of $4.5 million at September 30, 2015 and $5.9 million at December 31, 2014. The gain or loss resulting for changes in fair value of these securities is included in realized gains on securities in the Statement of Operations and was a loss of $800,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and a gain of $241,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

G. Contingencies

CGI is involved in litigation from time to time, generally arising in the ordinary course of business. This litigation may include, but is not limited to, general commercial disputes, lawsuits brought by policyholders, employment matters, reinsurance collection matters and actions challenging certain business practices of insurance subsidiaries. None of these matters are expected to have a material adverse impact on CGI’s results of operations or financial condition.

H. Subsequent Event

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through November 19, 2015, the date its financial statements were available to be issued.

On April 14, 2015 GAFRI and CGI entered into a definitive agreement with HC2 Holding Inc. to sell all of the stock of CGI and United Teacher Associates Insurance Company, an affiliate.  The agreement is subject to receipt of regulatory approvals and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Exhibit 99.5

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements
 
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2015, and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 and nine months ended September 30, 2015, of HC2 Holdings, Inc (“HC2”, “we”, “us”, “the Company”, or “our”), gives effect to (i) the full effect of the acquisition of Schuff International, Inc. (“Schuff”), (ii) the full-period effect of the acquisition of Bridgehouse Marine and its subsidiary, Global Marine Systems Limited (“GMSL”), (iii) the acquisition of United Teacher Associates Insurance Company (“UTAIC“) and Continental General Insurance Company (“CGIC” and, together with UTAIC, the “Targets”), in each case, by HC2 and (iv) issuance of HC2's common shares.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2015 gives effect to the Targets acquisition as if they had occurred on September 30, 2015. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet is derived from the unaudited historical financial statements of HC2 and the Targets as of September 30, 2015.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 give effect to the Schuff, Bridgehouse Marine, and the Targets acquisitions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2014. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations is derived from the audited historical financial statements of HC2 and the Targets as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014, the unaudited historical financial statements of Bridgehouse Marine for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and Schuff for the five months ended May 26, 2014, and the unaudited historical financial statements of HC2 and the Targets as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements were based on, and should be read in conjunction with:

Our historical audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes and the sections entitled Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, filed on March 16, 2015, and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2015, filed on November 9, 2015.
UTAIC’s and CGIC’s historical audited financial statements and related notes for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three fiscal years ended December 31, 2014, which were previously filed as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.3, respectively, to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on September 8, 2015.
Schuff’s historical audited financial statements and related notes as of and for the year ended December 29, 2013, and the unaudited historical financial statements of Schuff and related notes as of and for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014, which were previously filed as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, respectively, to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A, filed on August 14, 2014.
Bridgehouse Marine’s historical audited financial statements and related notes as of December 31, 2013 and for the year then ended, which were previously filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A, filed on December 8, 2014.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared by HC2’s management using the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and are not necessarily indicative of the combined financial position or results of operations that would have been realized had the transactions been completed as of the dates indicated, nor are they meant to be indicative of any anticipated combined financial position or future results of operations that the Company will experience after the transactions.

The historical consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to reflect factually supportable items that are directly attributable to the acquisition and, with respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations and are not expected to have a continuing impact on the results of operations of the combined company.

In connection with the post-acquisition integration of the operations of HC2 and the Targets, HC2 anticipates that nonrecurring integration charges will be incurred. HC2 is not able to determine the timing, nature, and amount of these charges as of November 9, 2015. However, these charges will impact the results of operations of the combined company following the completion of the acquisition, in the period in which they are incurred.

1.
Description of the Transaction

Acquisition of UTAIC and CGIC

On April 13, 2015, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with Continental General Corporation and Great American Financial Resources, Inc. (collectively, the “Sellers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Targets, as well as all assets owned by the Sellers or their affiliates that are used exclusively or primarily in the business of the Targets, subject to certain exceptions. The consideration payable by the Company at closing is approximately $7 million, which amount will be increased or decreased by the amount by which the Targets’ adjusted capital and surplus exceeds or falls short of, respectively, an agreed-upon target capital and surplus amount (the “Closing Purchase Price”). The Closing Purchase Price could be paid in a mix of cash, debt and/or common stock of the Company, depending on the amount of the Closing Purchase Price.

The Company also agreed to contribute to the Targets, after the closing, $13 million in cash or assets (the “Reserve Release Amount”), and to pay to the Sellers, on an annual basis with respect to the years 2015 through 2019, the amount, if any, by which the Targets’ cash flow testing and premium deficiency reserves decrease from the amount of such reserves as of December 31, 2014, up to the Reserve Release Amount. The Company has also agreed to contribute to the Targets an additional amount in cash or assets as required to offset the impact on the Targets’ statutory capital and surplus of the election to be made by HC2 and the Sellers pursuant to Section 338(h)(10) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “338 Election”) in connection with the transaction, if and to the extent required by insurance regulatory authorities and subject to an aggregate cap of $22 million.

Previous acquisitions reflected within the pro forma

On May 29, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of 2.5 million shares of common stock of Schuff, a steel fabrication and erection company and negotiated an agreement to purchase an additional 198,411 shares, representing an approximately 65% interest in Schuff. Schuff repurchased a portion of its outstanding common stock in June 2014, which had the effect of increasing the Company’s ownership interest to 70%. During the fourth quarter of 2014 and the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the final results of a tender offer for all outstanding shares of Schuff were announced and various open-market purchases were made, which resulted in the acquisition of 816,414 shares and an increase in our ownership interest to 91%. Schuff and its wholly-owned subsidiaries primarily operate as integrated fabricators and erectors of structural steel and heavy steel plates with headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona with operations in Arizona, Georgia, Texas, Kansas and California. Schuff’s construction projects are primarily in the aforementioned states. In addition, Schuff has construction projects in select international markets, primarily Panama. The Company acquired Schuff to expand the business that it engages in and saw Schuff as an opportunity to enter the steel fabrication and erection market. The Company purchased 2.5 million shares of common stock of Schuff for $78.75 million. The purchase price of Schuff was valued at $31.50 per share which represented both the cash paid by the Company for its 60% interest, and the fair value of the noncontrolling interest of 40%.

On September 22, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of GMSL. The purchase price is reflective of an enterprise value of approximately $260 million, including assumed indebtedness of approximately $130 million leaving a net enterprise value of approximately $130 million, which represented both the cash paid by the Company for its 97% interest, and the fair value of the noncontrolling interest of 3%. GMSL is a leading provider of engineering and underwater services on submarine cables.

2.
Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2015 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 and nine months ended September 30, 2015 are based on the historical combined financial statements of HC2, UTAIC, CGIC, after giving effect to the completion of the acquisition and the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 is inclusive of the Schuff and GMSL historical operations prior to the acquisition by HC2. Such pro forma adjustments are (1) factually supportable, (2) directly attributable to the acquisition, and (3) with respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the results of operations of the combined company.

The acquisition of the Targets will be accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) with HC2 as the acquiring entity. In business combination transactions in which the consideration given is not in the form of cash (that is, in the form of non-cash assets, liabilities incurred, or equity interests issued), measurement of the acquisition consideration is based on the fair value of the





consideration given or the fair value of the assets (or net assets) acquired, whichever is more clearly evident and, thus, more reliably measurable.

At this preliminary stage, no identifiable finite lived intangible assets were identified for the acquisition of the Targets. The estimated identifiable indefinite lived intangible asset represents state licenses, which are not amortized, but will be subject to periodic impairment testing. Reserves were calculated using actuarial assumptions for future morbidity, persistency, premiums and future expenses as of September 30, 2015. In addition, the reserves reflect current and forward interest rates based on the current economic environment. A provision for adverse deviation was included on future interest rates and premiums. Goodwill represents the excess of the estimated purchase price over the estimated fair value of the Targets’ assets and liabilities, and will not be amortized, but will be subject to periodic impairment testing. Upon consummation of the acquisition, the estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities will be updated.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented solely for informational purposes and are not necessarily indicative of the combined financial position or the results of operations that might have been achieved had the transaction been completed as of the dates indicated, nor are they meant to be indicative of any anticipated combined financial position or future results of operations that the combined company will experience after the transaction.

3.
Accounting Policies

As part of preparing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, the Company conducted a review of the accounting policies of the Targets to determine if differences in accounting policies require restatement or reclassification of results of operations or reclassification of assets or liabilities to conform to HC2’s accounting policies and classifications. The Company did not become aware of any material differences between the accounting policies of HC2 and the Targets during the preparation of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, with the exception of certain insurance specific accounting policies, which would not be applicable to HC2 prior to the Targets acquisition and certain reclassifications necessary to conform to HC2’s financial presentation. Accordingly, these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not assume any material differences in accounting policies between HC2 and the Targets. The results of this review are included in Note 4. Upon consummation of the Targets acquisition, a more comprehensive review of the accounting policies of the Targets will be performed which may identify other differences among the accounting policies of HC2 and the Targets that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

4.
Historical HC2, and Targets conforming adjustments

HC2 has historically reported a classified balance sheet, with assets and liabilities separated between current and non-current, while the Targets have historically reported their balance sheets on an unclassified basis. However, after giving consideration to the nature of the Targets businesses and the impact of their inclusion of their balance sheets on HC2’s consolidated balance sheet upon completion of the acquisition, HC2 will report its consolidated balance sheet on an unclassified basis, and HC2’s consolidated balance sheet presentation and captions will be generally based on the SEC’s Regulation §S-X 210-7.03. Accordingly, HC2’s historical amounts reflected in the unaudited combined pro forma balance sheet as of September 30, 2015 have been reclassified to conform to the unclassified presentation. A reconciliation of the significant reclassifications made to HC2’s historical balance sheet is provided below.

Financial information of HC2 column of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet represents the historical reported balances of HC2 reclassified to conform to the go-forward presentation as a result of the acquisition of the Targets in HC2’s consolidated financial statements as set forth below (dollars in thousands). Unless otherwise indicated, defined line items included in the notes have the meanings given to them in the historical financial statements of HC2.

Preliminary Purchase Allocation

Preliminary allocation of the Closing Purchase Price and the Reserve Release Amount

The Closing Purchase Price, the number of shares to be issued, and the amount of cash to be paid, in connection with the acquisition of the Targets has not been finalized and will be determined only immediately prior to the closing. The transaction is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2015, subject to customary closing conditions and the receipt of required governmental approvals. We can provide no assurance that the transaction will close in the expected time frame, or at all. The allocation of the total consideration shown below is based on preliminary estimates and is subject to change based on the final determination of the fair value of the Targets’ assets acquired and liabilities assumed. At this preliminary stage, the purchase consideration is planned to be paid in cash, HC2's common stock and 11% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 and is subject to change at the Company’s discretion.

The Reserve Release Amount is calculated based on the fluctuation of the statutory cash flow testing and premium deficiency reserves annually following each of the Targets’ filing with its domiciliary insurance regulator of its annual statutory statements for each calendar year ending December 31, 2015 through and including December 31, 2019 to bridge the gap between estimates at the time of acquisition and actual results. To calculate our estimate, cash flow testing sensitivities were performed assuming improved yields on the asset portfolio based on modest increases in interest rates back towards historical averages. These sensitivities resulted in the estimated projected future reserve releases that may occur. Interest rate assumption improvements alone were the basis for the projected cash flow testing reserve release. Based on the performed analysis, HC2 expects to fund the Reserve Release Amount over the prescribed period. The Company will re-perform this assessment at each reporting period through December 31, 2019 or until the total of the Contingent Payments reaches $13 million.

Under ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, (“ASC 805”), assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at fair value. The fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the acquisition are based on a preliminary estimate of fair value. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be recognized as goodwill. Such a valuation requires estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, estimating future cash flows and direct costs in addition to developing the appropriate discount rates. HC2’s management believes the fair values recognized for the assets to be acquired and the liabilities to be assumed are based on reasonable estimates and assumptions currently available. The final determination of the acquisition consideration and fair values of the Targets assets and liabilities will be based on the actual net tangible and intangible assets of the Targets that exist as of the date of completion of the acquisition. Consequently, the amounts allocated to goodwill and intangible assets could change significantly from those allocations used in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements presented below and could result in a material change in amortization of acquired finite lived intangible assets.








The preliminary fair values of intangible assets were determined based on the provisions of ASC 805, which defines fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Intangible assets were identified that met either the separability criterion or the contractual-legal criterion described in ASC 805. At this preliminary stage, the intangible assets identified are indefinite lived identifiable intangible assets representing state licenses with a value of $2.7 million, which are not amortized, but will be subject to periodic impairment testing. In addition, the Company determined the fair value of the Targets’ life, accident and health reserves through cash flow projections and capital requirements using actuarial assumptions and gross premium adequacy analysis.

The expected amortization related to the preliminary fair value of the acquired intangible assets and liabilities for the five years following the acquisition is reflected in the table below (dollars in thousands):

Taxes

The Company has agreed to make a joint election with the Sellers under the 338 Election to treat the stock purchases as asset purchases for U.S. Federal income tax purposes. The resulting step-down in the tax bases of the acquired assets is reflected in the above net deferred tax asset of $13.6 million for differences between the fair value and tax bases of the acquired assets and liabilities. The Company estimates that none of the goodwill reflected above will be deductible for income tax purposes.

The net deferred tax asset includes $0.9 million for the estimated tax basis in amortizable policy acquisition costs (“DAC Tax”), which is fully offset by a current tax liability of $0.9 million included in other liabilities. The current tax liability is a result of the 338 Election which allows the Sellers to deduct any unamortized DAC Tax at the acquisition date, but requires the Company to re-establish DAC Tax on the acquired assets as if they were purchased in a taxable reinsurance transaction. However, this re-established DAC Tax causes a current tax liability to the Company which is a temporary difference that will be amortized and deductible over the following 10 years for income tax purposes.

On November 4, 2015, HC2 announced the pricing of an underwritten public offering of 7,350,000 newly issued shares of the Company's common stock at a price to the public of $7.00 per share ("the Public Offering"). In addition, the Company has granted the underwriter a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,102,500 shares of its common stock at the public offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The offering closed on or about November 9, 2015. The gross proceeds from the offering were $56.2 million before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and fees and offering expenses payable by the Company. All of the shares were sold by the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to finance investments in existing subsidiaries and operations, potential acquisitions, including all or a portion of the consideration for the acquisition of the Targets, development and redevelopment activities, debt repayments, the repurchase or redemption of preferred stock and for other general corporate purposes.

The transaction costs reflected in the pro forma relate to professional fees and other costs associated with the acquisition, including legal, accounting, tax and printing fees to be paid to third parties based on actual expenses incurred to date and best estimates provided by third party service providers to HC2 and the Targets. The adjustment does involve a degree of judgment and estimation, which HC2 management believes to be reasonable as at the date of this Form 8-K. There can be no assurance that these estimates will not change, even materially, as the transaction progresses to its conclusion. These transaction and related costs are one-time in nature and are not expected to have a continuing impact and as such are not included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 31, 2015.

Earnings per Share

The pro forma basic and diluted net loss per common share reflects the assumed issuance of 724 thousand shares assuming a 30 day volume weighted average price of 7.2887 of HC2’s common stock to the Sellers in connection with the purchase of the Targets and the Public Offering. However, the actual number of shares to be issued in connection with the issuance of the Targets has not been finalized and will be determined only immediately prior to the purchase of the Targets. The pro forma basic and diluted net loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares of HC2’s common stock outstanding during the period. The diluted weighted average number of common shares excludes outstanding stock options, restricted stock units, warrants and convertible preferred stock as a result of the results of operations being loss from continuing operations.

The Following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per common share and the calculation of the basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014:
