NOTE 1 BUSINESS

1347 Property Insurance Holdings, Inc. (the "Company" or "PIH") was incorporated on October 2, 2012 in the State of Delaware under the name Maison Insurance Holdings, Inc. The Company holds all of the capital stock of its two subsidiaries: Maison Insurance Company ("Maison") and Maison Managers Inc. ("MMI"). Effective November 19, 2013, the Company changed its legal name from Maison Insurance Holdings, Inc. to 1347 Property Insurance Holdings, Inc. On March 31, 2014, PIH completed an initial public offering of its common stock. Prior to March 31, 2014, the Company was a wholly owned subsidiary of Kingsway America Inc. ("KAI"). KAI is ultimately a wholly owned subsidiary of Kingsway Financial Services Inc. ("KFSI"), a publicly owned holding company based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Through Maison, the Company provides property and casualty insurance to individuals in Louisiana. Maison’s insurance offerings currently include homeowners’ insurance, manufactured home insurance and dwelling fire insurance. Maison writes both full peril property policies as well as wind/hail only exposures. Maison distributes its policies through independent insurance agents. MMI serves as the Company’s management services subsidiary, known as a managing general agency. MMI is responsible for its marketing programs and other management services.

NOTE 2 BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements of the Company. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included and are of a normal recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its two subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect application of policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates and their underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Changes in estimates are recorded in the accounting period in which they are determined. The critical accounting estimates and assumptions in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the provision for loss and loss adjustment expense reserves, valuation of fixed income securities, valuation of net deferred income taxes and deferred policy acquisition costs.

NOTE 3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


(a)	Investments:

Investments in fixed income securities are classified as available-for-sale and reported at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, until sold or until an other-than-temporary impairment is recognized, at which point cumulative unrealized gains or losses are transferred to the unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Short-term investments, which consist of investments with original maturities between three months and one year, are reported at cost which approximates fair value.

Realized gains and losses on sales, determined on a first-in first-out basis, are included in net realized gains.

Interest income is included in net investment income. Investment income is recorded as it accrues.

The Company accounts for all financial instruments using trade date accounting.

The Company conducts a quarterly review to identify and evaluate investments that show objective indications of possible impairment. Impairment is charged to the unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) if the fair value of an instrument falls below its cost/amortized cost and the decline is considered other-than-temporary. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is other-than-temporary include the length of time and extent to which fair value has



	7



1347 PROPERTY INSURANCE HOLDINGS, INC. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) $ amounts in thousands June 30, 2014

been below cost; the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; and the Company's ability and intent to hold investments for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery.


(b)	Cash and cash equivalents:

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible into cash.


(c)	Premiums receivable:

Premiums receivable include premium balances due and uncollected and installment premiums not yet due from agents and insureds. Premiums receivable are reported net of an estimated allowance for doubtful accounts.

(d) Reinsurance:

Reinsurance premiums, losses, and loss adjustment expenses are accounted for on a basis consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts. Premiums and losses ceded to other companies have been reported as a reduction of premium revenue and incurred net losses and loss adjustment expenses. Reinsurance recoverable is recorded for that portion of paid and unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses that are ceded to other companies. Ceded unearned premiums are recorded for unearned premium reserves that have been ceded to reinsurers.

(e) Deferred policy acquisition costs:

The Company defers commissions, premium taxes and other underwriting and agency expenses that are directly related to successful efforts to acquire new or existing insurance policies to the extent they are considered recoverable. Costs deferred on insurance products are amortized over the period in which premiums are earned. Costs associated with unsuccessful efforts or costs that cannot be tied directly to a successful policy acquisition are expensed as incurred, as opposed to being deferred and amortized as the premium is earned. The method followed in determining the deferred policy acquisition costs limits the deferral to its realizable value by giving consideration to estimated future loss and loss adjustment expenses to be incurred as revenues are earned. Changes in estimates, if any, are recorded in the accounting period in which they are determined. Anticipated investment income is included in determining the realizable value of the deferred policy acquisition costs.

(f) Property and equipment:

Property and equipment are reported in the unaudited consolidated financial statements at cost. Depreciation of property and equipment has been provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of such assets. Repairs and maintenance are recognized in operations during the period incurred. The Company estimates useful life to be five years for leasehold improvements; seven to ten years for furniture and equipment; and three years for computer hardware.

(g) Loss and loss adjustment expense reserves:

Loss and loss adjustment expense reserves represent the estimated liabilities for reported loss events, incurred but not yet reported loss events and the related estimated loss adjustment expenses. The Company performs a continuing review of its loss and loss adjustment expense reserves, including its reserving techniques and its reinsurance. The loss and loss adjustment expense reserves are also reviewed regularly by qualified actuaries. Since the loss and loss adjustment expense reserves are based on estimates, the ultimate liability may be more or less than such reserves. The effects of changes in such estimated reserves are included in the results of income in the period in which the estimates are changed. Such changes in estimates could occur in a future period and may be material to the Company’s results of operations and financial position in such period.


(h)	Income taxes:

For taxable periods ending on or prior to March 31, 2014, the Company is included in the U.S. consolidated federal income tax return of Kingsway America II Inc. and its eligible U.S. subsidiaries ("KAI Tax Group"). The method of allocating federal income taxes among the companies in the KAI Tax Group is subject to written agreement, approved by each company's Board of Directors. The allocation is made primarily on a separate return basis, with current credit for any net operating losses or other items utilized in the consolidated federal income tax return. For taxable periods beginning after March 31, 2014, the Company intends to file its own U.S. consolidated federal income tax return.

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, whereby deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for (i) the differences between the financial statement carrying amount of existing assets and liabilities



	8



1347 PROPERTY INSURANCE HOLDINGS, INC. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) $ amounts in thousands June 30, 2014

and their respective tax bases and (ii) loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment. Future tax benefits are recognized to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not and a valuation allowance is established for any portion of a deferred tax asset that management believes will not be realized. Current federal income taxes are charged or credited to operations based upon amounts estimated to be payable or recoverable as a result of taxable operations for the current year. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense (benefit).

(i) Revenue recognition:

Premium revenue and unearned premium reserves

Premium revenue is recognized on a pro rata basis over the terms of the respective policy contracts. Unearned premium reserves represent the portion of premiums written that are applicable to the unexpired terms of policies in force.

Service charges on installment premiums are recognized as income upon receipt of related installment payments and are reflected in other income. Revenue from policy fees is deferred and recognized over the terms of the respective policy period, with revenue reflected in other income.

Ceded premiums are charged to income over the applicable term of the various reinsurance contracts with third party reinsurers. Ceded reinsurance premiums represent the unexpired portion of premiums ceded to reinsurers and are reported as ceded unearned premiums.

Premiums collected in advance occur when the policyholder premium is paid in advance of the effective commencement period of the annual insurance policy.

(j) Earnings (loss) per share:

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by giving effect to the potential dilution that could occur if potentially dilutive securities were exercised and converted into common shares during the year.

(k) Fair value of financial instruments:

The fair values of the Company's investments in fixed income securities are estimated using a fair value hierarchy to categorize the inputs it uses in valuation techniques. The carrying amounts reported in the unaudited consolidated balance sheets approximate fair values for cash, short-term investments and certain other assets and other liabilities because of their short-term nature.

NOTE 4 RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

There are no recently issued accounting standards that would impact the Company's financial statements.

Fixed income securities contain approximately twenty-one and three individual investments that were in unrealized loss positions as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

The establishment of an other-than-temporary impairment on an investment requires a number of judgments and estimates. The Company performs a quarterly analysis of the individual investments to determine if declines in market value are other-than-temporary. The analysis includes some or all of the following procedures as deemed appropriate by the Company:


•	identifying all unrealized loss positions that have existed for at least six months;


•	identifying other circumstances which management believes may impact the recoverability of the unrealized loss positions;


•	obtaining a valuation analysis from third-party investment managers regarding the intrinsic value of these investments based on their knowledge and experience together with market-based valuation techniques;


•	reviewing the trading range of certain investments over the preceding calendar period;


•	assessing if declines in market value are other-than-temporary for debt instruments based on the investment grade credit ratings from third-party rating agencies;


•	assessing if declines in market value are other-than-temporary for any debt instrument with a non-investment grade credit rating based on the continuity of its debt service record;


•	determining the necessary provision for declines in market value that are considered other-than-temporary based on the analyses performed; and


•	assessing the Company's ability and intent to hold these investments at least until the investment impairment is recovered.

The risks and uncertainties inherent in the assessment methodology used to determine declines in market value that are other-than-temporary include, but may not be limited to, the following:


•	the opinions of professional investment managers could be incorrect;


•	the past trading patterns of individual investments may not reflect future valuation trends;



	11



1347 PROPERTY INSURANCE HOLDINGS, INC. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) $ amounts in thousands June 30, 2014


•	the credit ratings assigned by independent credit rating agencies may be incorrect due to unforeseen or unknown facts related to a company's financial situation; and


•	the debt service pattern of non-investment grade instruments may not reflect future debt service capabilities and may not reflect a company's unknown underlying financial problems.

As a result of the analysis performed by the Company to determine declines in market value that are other-than-temporary, the Company recorded a write-down of zero and $188 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively, for other-than-temporary impairments related to investments (zero and $188 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively).

There were no other-than-temporary losses recognized in other comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013.

The Company has reviewed currently available information regarding investments with estimated fair values that are less than their carrying amounts and believes that these unrealized losses are not other-than-temporary and are primarily due to temporary market and sector-related factors rather than to issuer-specific factors. The Company does not intend to sell those investments, and it is not likely that it will be required to sell those investments before recovery of its amortized cost.

The Company does not have any exposure to subprime mortgage-backed investments.Net investment income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively, is comprised as follows:

At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, a certificate of deposit with an estimated fair value of $100 was on deposit with a Louisiana regulatory authority.

NOTE 6 DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS

Policy acquisition costs consist primarily of commissions, premium taxes, and underwriting and agency expenses incurred related to successful efforts to acquire new or renewal insurance contracts. Acquisition costs deferred on insurance products are amortized over the period in which the related revenues are earned. Costs associated with unsuccessful efforts or costs that cannot be tied directly to a successful policy acquisition are expensed as incurred, as opposed to being deferred and amortized as the premium is earned.

The components of deferred policy acquisition costs and the related amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, are comprised as follows:

NOTE 7 LOSS AND LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSE RESERVES

The establishment of the provision for loss and loss adjustment expense reserves is based on known facts and interpretation of circumstances and is therefore a complex and dynamic process influenced by a large variety of factors. These factors include the Company's experience with similar cases and historical trends involving loss payment patterns, pending levels of loss and loss adjustment expense reserves, product mix or concentration, loss severity and loss frequency patterns.

Other factors include the continually evolving and changing regulatory and legal environment; actuarial studies; professional experience and expertise of the Company's claims departments' personnel and independent adjusters retained to handle individual claims; the quality of the data used for projection purposes; existing claims management practices including claims-handling and settlement practices; the effect of inflationary trends on future loss settlement costs; court decisions; economic conditions; and public attitudes.

Consequently, the process of determining the provision necessarily involves risks that the actual results will deviate, perhaps materially, from the estimates made.

The Company's evaluation of the adequacy of loss and loss adjustment expense reserves includes a re-estimation of the liability for loss and loss adjustment expense reserves relating to each preceding financial year compared to the liability that was previously established. The results of this comparison and the changes in the provision for loss and loss adjustment expense reserves, net of amounts recoverable from reinsurers, as of June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013 were as follows:

NOTE 8 INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense (benefit) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively, varies from the amount that would result by applying the applicable statutory federal income tax rate of 34% to income (loss) before income tax expense (benefit). The following table summarizes the differences:

The Company carries a net deferred income tax asset of $411 and $571 at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, all of which the Company believes is more likely than not to be fully realized based upon management's assessment of future taxable income.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits. The Company analyzed its tax positions in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740, Income Taxes, and has determined that there are currently no uncertain tax positions. The Company generally recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense (benefit).

NOTE 9 NET EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of numerators and denominators for the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share computation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013:

Diluted earnings (loss) per common share	$	0.15	$	(0.52	)	$	0.70		$	(1.49	)

Net earnings (loss) per share is based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. Diluted weighted-average shares is calculated by adjusting basic weighted-average shares outstanding by all potentially dilutive securities. Potentially dilutive securities consist of stock options and warrants. Since the Company is reporting a net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, all potentially dilutive securities outstanding were excluded from the calculation of both basic and diluted loss per share since their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE 10 STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has established a stock option incentive plan for key officers and directors of the Company. At June 30, 2014, the maximum number of shares that may be issued under the Plan was 354,912 common shares.

The following table summarizes the stock option activity during the six months ended June 30, 2014:



(in thousands, except for share data)
	Number of Options Outstanding	Weighted-Average Exercise Price		Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term (in Years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at December 31, 2013	—	—			—
Granted	177,456	$	8.00
Outstanding at June 30, 2014	177,456	$	8.00	4.8	$	161
Exercisable at June 30, 2014	92,275	$	8.00	4.8	$	84

Options granted to officers during the six months ended June 30, 2014 vest 20% at the date of grant and 20% on each of the next four anniversary dates and expire in five years. Options granted to directors during the six months ended June 30, 2014 are fully vested and exercisable as of the date such options are granted and are exercisable for a period of five years.

The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options outstanding and exercisable is the difference between the June 30, 2014 market price for the Company's common shares and the exercise price of the options, multiplied by the number of options where the fair value exceeds the exercise price.

The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding as of June 30, 2014:



June 30, 2014
	Exercise Price		Date of Grant	Expiry Date	Remaining Contractual Life (Years)	Number Outstanding	Number Exercisable
	$	8.69	4-Apr-14	4-Apr-19	4.8	14,155	7,359
	$	8.00	31-Mar-14	31-Mar-19	4.8	163,301	84,916
				Total:	4.8	177,456	92,275

On February 28, 2014, the Company granted an option to its President, Mr. Doug Raucy, to purchase up to 33,033 shares of the Company's common stock ("Option Shares"). Concurrent with the exercise of the option, the Company will grant matching shares of restricted common stock of the Company to Mr. Raucy as a one-for-one match against the Option Shares purchased ("Matched Shares"). On June 19, 2014, the Company amended this option agreement to extend the expiration date from June 30, 2014 to March 15, 2015, provided that Mr. Raucy is employed by the Company on the date of exercise. All other terms and conditions set forth in the option agreement not otherwise amended pursuant to the amendment continue in full force and effect. The amendment was evidenced by a separate written agreement between the Company and Mr. Raucy. The Matched Shares will vest 100% on March 31, 2019, subject to Mr. Raucy's continued employment with the Company until the vesting date.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of each option on the date of grant. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes pricing model for options granted or exchanged during the six months ended June 30, 2014 were as follows:



	June 30, 2014
Risk-free interest rate	0.13% - 1.55%
Dividend yield	—
Expected volatility	10	%
Expected term (in years)	1-5

Total stock-based compensation expense, net of forfeitures was $108 and zero for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively ($108 and zero, respectively, year to date).

NOTE 11 SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

On November 19, 2013, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to authorize one million shares of preferred stock, each with a par value of $25.00.

On March 19, 2014, the Company authorized a one thousand to one stock split of its common stock. The stock split had the effect of increasing the number of common shares of the Company issued and outstanding from one thousand shares pre-split to 1,000,000 shares post-split. The issued and outstanding shares reported in the unaudited consolidated balance sheets and the number of weighted-average shares outstanding included in the earnings (loss) per share computations, as reported in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), have been restated for all periods presented to reflect the impact of the stock split.

On March 31, 2014, the Company completed its initial public offering of 2,170,625 shares of its common stock at a price to the public of $8.00 per share, which included full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option, for total gross proceeds of $17,365. Net proceeds to the Company were $15,088 after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable by the Company.

On June 13, 2014, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 2,875,000 shares of its common stock at a price to the public of $8.00 per share, which included full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option, for total gross proceeds of $23,000. Net proceeds to the Company were $21,281 after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable by the Company.

On January 23, 2014, Fund Management Group LLC, an entity of which the Company's Chairman of the Board, Gordon G. Pratt, is a Managing Member and controlling equity holder, invested $2,000 in the Company in exchange for 80,000 Series A Convertible Preferred Shares ("Preferred Shares") of the Company. The Preferred Shares are non-voting and rank senior to all classes of capital stock of the Company. The Preferred Shares do not pay any dividends. At the time of the issuance, the value of the common stock into which the Preferred Shares is convertible had a fair value greater than the $2,000 proceeds for the issuance. Accordingly, the Company recorded a beneficial conversion feature on the Preferred Shares of $500 during the first quarter of 2014, which equals the amount by which the estimated fair value of the common stock issuable upon the conversion of the issued Preferred Shares exceeds the proceeds from the issuance.

The Preferred Shares were converted into shares of common stock and warrants on March 31, 2014, the effective date of the initial public offering. The Preferred Shares were converted into (i) 312,500 common shares of the Company, which is equal to the $2,000 liquidation value of the Preferred Shares divided by 80% of the $8.00 offering price per share of the common stock issued in the initial public offering; and (ii) one warrant per common share issued as a result of the conversion.

The warrants issued to Fund Management Group LLC entitle the holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price equal to 120% of the offering price per share of the Company's common stock issued in the initial public offering, subject to certain adjustments under a warrant agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”) entered into between Fund Management Group LLC and the Company. The warrants have an expiry date of five years from the date of issuance and are immediately exercisable after issuance in accordance with the exercise procedure under the Warrant Agreement. The warrants may be redeemable by the Company at a price of $0.01 per warrant during any period in which the closing price of the Company's common shares is at or above 175% of the $8.00 price per share of the common stock issued in the initial public offering for 20 consecutive trading days. The warrant holder is entitled to a 30-day notice prior to the date of such redemption.

The common stock issued to Fund Management Group LLC upon conversion of the Preferred Shares has piggyback registration rights for future registrations of the Company’s common stock under the Securities Act (other than certain excluded registrations) and, upon the two-year anniversary of the initial public offering, Fund Management Group LLC will also have a one-time demand registration right for such common stock, subject to certain restrictions.

NOTE 13 FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value amounts represent estimates of the consideration that would currently be agreed upon between knowledgeable, willing parties who are under no compulsion to act. Fair value is best evidenced by quoted bid or ask price, as appropriate, in an active market. Where bid or ask prices are not available, such as in an illiquid or inactive market, the closing price of the most recent transaction of that instrument subject to appropriate adjustments as required is used. Where quoted market prices are not available, the quoted prices of similar financial instruments or valuation models with observable market based inputs are used to estimate the fair value. These valuation models may use multiple observable market inputs, including observable interest rates, foreign exchange rates, index levels, credit spreads, equity prices, counterparty credit quality, corresponding market volatility levels and option volatilities. Minimal management judgment is required for fair values calculated using quoted market prices or observable market inputs for models. Greater subjectivity is required when making valuation adjustments for financial instruments in inactive



	17



1347 PROPERTY INSURANCE HOLDINGS, INC. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) $ amounts in thousands June 30, 2014

markets or when using models where observable parameters do not exist. Also, the calculation of estimated fair value is based on market conditions at a specific point in time and may not be reflective of future fair values. For the Company's financial instruments carried at cost or amortized cost, the book value is not adjusted to reflect increases or decreases in fair value due to market fluctuations, including those due to interest rate changes, as it is the Company's intention to hold them until there is a recovery of fair value, which may be to maturity.

The Company classifies its investments in fixed income securities as available-for-sale and reports these investments at fair value. Fair values of fixed income securities for which no active market exists are derived from quoted market prices of similar instruments or other third-party evidence.

The Company employs a fair value hierarchy to categorize the inputs it uses in valuation techniques to measure the fair value. The extent of use of quoted market prices (Level 1), valuation models using observable market information (Level 2) and internal models without observable market information (Level 3) in the valuation of the Company's financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was as follows:

NOTE 14 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Related party transactions, including services provided to or received by the Company's subsidiaries, are carried out in the normal course of operations and are measured in part by the amount of consideration paid or received as established and agreed by the parties. Management believes that consideration paid for such services in each case approximates fair value. Except where disclosed elsewhere in these unaudited consolidated financial statements, the following is a summary of related party transactions.

On February 11, 2014, the Company entered into the Management Services Agreement ("MSA") with 1347 Advisors LLC ("1347 Advisors"), a wholly owned subsidiary of KFSI, which provides for certain permanent services, unless terminated, that 1347 Advisors will provide to the Company, including forecasting, analysis of capital structure and reinsurance programs, consultation in future restructuring or capital raising transactions, and consultation in corporate development initiatives. For the services performed, 1347 Advisors is paid a monthly fee equal to 1% of the Company's gross written premiums, as defined in the MSA. After the seventh year of the term of the MSA, should the ownership of the Company's shares held by KFSI or an affiliate or subsidiary thereof fall below fifty percent (50%) of KFSI’s (or an affiliate or subsidiary thereof) ownership of the Company's shares as of March 31, 2014, the monthly fee shall be calculated by (a) dividing the existing shares owned by KFSI (or an affiliate or subsidiary thereof) by the number of original shares owned by KFSI (or an affiliate or subsidiary thereof) as of March 31, 2014, and (b) multiplying by 1% of the Company's gross written premiums, as defined in the MSA. The MSA will only terminate by mutual consent of both parties, except in case of certain exceptions as stated in the agreement. With respect to termination for any reason of the MSA (other than due to gross negligence or willful misconduct of 1347 Advisors), the Company will be required to pay 1347 Advisors an amount equal to twenty times the consulting fee paid to 1347 Advisors in the most recent calendar year immediately preceding.

On March 26, 2014, the Company entered into a Performance Share Grant Agreement with KAI, whereby KAI will be entitled to receive up to an aggregate of 375,000 shares of PIH common stock upon achievement of certain milestones for the Company’s stock price. Pursuant to the terms of the Performance Share Grant Agreement, if at any time the last sales price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds: (i) $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period, KAI will receive 125,000 shares of the Company's common stock; (ii) $15.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period, KAI will receive 125,000 shares of the Company's common stock (in addition to the 125,000 shares of common stock earned pursuant to clause (i) herein); and (iii) $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period, KAI will receive 125,000 shares of the Company's common stock (in addition to the 250,000 shares of common stock earned pursuant to



	19



1347 PROPERTY INSURANCE HOLDINGS, INC. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) $ amounts in thousands June 30, 2014

clauses (i) and (ii) herein). The shares of common stock granted to KAI will have a valuation equal to the last sales price of PIH common stock on the day prior to such grant.

The Company entered into a Transition Services Agreement ("TSA") with KFSI, which was effective upon the completion of the Company's initial public offering on March 31, 2014. The TSA will provide for temporary access to necessary services and resources for which the Company is currently reliant on KFSI, including but not limited to resources and services related to accounting and reporting, accounts payable, cash management, taxes, compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, payroll processing and benefits administration, information technology systems and support, human resource function, and external audit. The TSA stipulates transition deadlines for all the services provided under it, by which time the Company is expected to establish its own independent functions for such services. The charges for the transition services generally will be intended to allow KFSI to fully recover the costs directly associated with providing the services, plus all out-of-pocket costs and expenses. The charges of each of the transition services generally will be based on either a pre-determined flat fee or an allocation of the cost incurred by KFSI (or an affiliate or subsidiary thereof) for providing the service, including certain fees and expenses of third-party service providers. The TSA also provides that neither party will be liable to the other of such service for any special, indirect, incidental or consequential damages, except to the extent such damages result from fraud, gross negligence or intentional misconduct.

NOTE 15 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In connection with its operations in the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are named as defendants in various actions for damages and costs allegedly sustained by the plaintiffs. While it is not possible to estimate the loss, or range of loss, if any, that may be incurred in connection with any of the various proceedings at this time, it is possible that individual actions may result in a loss having a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

NOTE 16 SUBSEQUENT EVENT

In July 2014, the Company made its initial application to obtain a certificate of authority from the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation for producing personal property and casualty insurance products related to personal residential property located in the state of Florida. This application process is pending and no assurances can be provided whether the Company will obtain this certificate.

Louisiana Citizens Property Insurance Company ("Citizens") is a state-created insurer. As the State of Louisiana has not historically been in the business of serving as an insurer, an insurance “take-out” program was implemented to reduce the number of properties insured by Citizens. Under this take-out program, state-approved insurance companies, such as Maison, have the opportunity to assume insurance policies written by Citizens. It has been Maison’s practice to date to participate in such take-out programs, and Maison plans to continue doing so from time to time in the future. While Citizens writes full peril protection policies in addition to wind and hail only policies, the policies that the Company has obtained through the Citizens take-out program cover losses arising only from wind and hail. These policyholders were not able to obtain such coverage from the marketplace prior to our take-out other than through Citizens. As of June 30, 2014, the Company has approximately 5,800 take-out policies in-force from Citizens, of which approximately 3,400 were from the latest take-out which occurred on December 1, 2013, and approximately 2,400 were from the December 1, 2012 take-out. Additionally, the Company has approximately 11,000 in-force policies that it obtained from its independent agent force. From all sources of distribution, the in-force policy count at June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013 was approximately 16,800 and 11,500, respectively.

Maison actively conducts business in the State of Louisiana. The Company insures personal property located in all 64 parishes in the State of Louisiana. As of June 30, 2014, these 16,800 policies are concentrated in certain parishes within Louisiana as follows: Jefferson Parish 20.0%, Saint Tammany Parish 12.2%, Orleans Parish 7.3%, East Baton Rouge Parish 5.8%, and Terrebonne Parish 5.3%. No other parish has over 5.0% of the policies, and these remaining 59 parishes aggregate 49.4%.

NON-U.S. GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The Company assesses its results of operations using certain non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, in addition to U.S. GAAP financial measures. These non-U.S. GAAP financial measures are defined below. The Company believes these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating performance in the same manner as management does.

The non-U.S. GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, any financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company's non-U.S. GAAP financial measures may be defined differently from time to time and may be defined differently than similar terms used by other companies, and accordingly, care should be exercised in understanding how we define our non-U.S. GAAP financial measures.

Underwriting Ratios

The Company, like many insurance companies, analyzes performance based on underwriting ratios such as loss ratio, expense ratio and combined ratio. The loss ratio is derived by dividing the amount of net losses and loss adjustment expenses by net premiums earned. The expense ratio is derived by dividing the sum of amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and general and administrative expenses by net premiums earned. All items included in the loss and expense ratios are presented in the Company’s U.S. GAAP financial statements. The combined ratio is the sum of the loss ratio and the expense ratio. A combined ratio below 100% demonstrates underwriting profit whereas a combined ratio over 100% demonstrates an underwriting loss.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect application of policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates and their underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Changes in estimates are recorded in the accounting period in which they are determined. The critical accounting estimates and assumptions in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the provision for loss and loss adjustment expense reserves, valuation of fixed income securities, valuation of net deferred income taxes and deferred policy acquisition costs.

Provision for Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves

A significant degree of judgment is required to determine amounts recorded in the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the provision for loss and loss adjustment expense reserves. The process for establishing the provision for loss and loss adjustment expense reserves reflects the uncertainties and significant judgmental factors inherent in predicting future results of both known and unknown loss events. As such, the process is inherently complex and imprecise and estimates are constantly refined. The process of establishing the provision for loss and loss adjustment expense reserves relies on the judgment and opinions of a large number of individuals, including the opinions of the Company's consulting independent actuaries.



	21



1347 PROPERTY INSURANCE HOLDINGS, INC. $ amounts in thousands

Factors affecting the provision for loss and loss adjustment expense reserves include the continually evolving and changing regulatory and legal environment, actuarial studies, professional experience and expertise of the Company's claims departments' personnel and independent adjusters retained to handle individual claims, the quality of the data used for projection purposes, existing claims management practices including claims handling and settlement practices, the effect of inflationary trends on future loss settlement costs, court decisions, economic conditions and public attitudes.

In the actuarial review process, an analysis of the provision for loss and loss adjustment expense reserves is completed for the Company's insurance subsidiary. Unpaid losses, allocated loss adjustment expenses and unallocated loss adjustment expenses are separately analyzed by line of business or coverage by accident year. A wide range of actuarial methods are utilized in order to appropriately measure ultimate loss and loss adjustment expense costs. These methods include paid loss development, incurred loss development and frequency-severity method. Reasonability tests such as ultimate loss ratio trends and ultimate allocated loss adjustment expense to ultimate loss are also performed prior to selection of the final provision. The provision is indicated by line of business or coverage and is separated into case reserves, reserves for losses incurred but not reported ("IBNR") and a provision for unallocated loss adjustment expenses.

Because the establishment of the provision for loss and loss adjustment expense reserves is an inherently uncertain process involving estimates, current provisions may need to be updated. Adjustments to the provision, both favorable and unfavorable, are reflected in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the periods in which such estimates are updated. The Company's actuaries develop a range of reasonable estimates and a point estimate of loss and loss adjustment expense reserves. The actuarial point estimate is intended to represent the actuaries' best estimate and will not necessarily be at the mid-point of the high and low estimates of the range.

Valuation of Fixed Income Securities

The Company’s fixed income securities are recorded at fair value using observable inputs such as quoted prices in inactive markets, quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments, benchmark interest rates, broker quotes and other relevant inputs. The Company does not have any investments in our portfolio which require the Company to use unobservable inputs. Any change in the estimated fair value of its investments could impact the amount of unrealized gain or loss the Company has recorded, which could change the amount the Company has recorded for its investments and other comprehensive income on its unaudited consolidated balance sheets.

Gains and losses realized on the disposition of investments are determined on the first-in first-out basis and credited or charged to the unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Premium and discount on investments are amortized and accredited using the interest method and charged or credited to net investment income.

The Company performs a quarterly analysis of its investment portfolio to determine if declines in market value are other-than-temporary. Further information regarding its detailed analysis and factors considered in establishing an other-than-temporary impairment on an investment is discussed within Note 5, "Investments," to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Valuation of Net Deferred Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes is calculated based on the expected tax treatment of transactions recorded in its unaudited consolidated financial statements. In determining its provision for income taxes, the Company interprets tax legislation in a variety of jurisdictions and make assumptions about the expected timing of the reversal of deferred income tax assets and liabilities and the valuation of net deferred income taxes.

The ultimate realization of the deferred income tax asset balance is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the Company's temporary differences reverse and become deductible. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred income tax asset balance will not be realized. In determining whether a valuation allowance is needed, management considers all available positive and negative evidence affecting specific deferred income tax asset balances, including the Company's past and anticipated future performance, the reversal of deferred income tax liabilities, and the availability of tax planning strategies. To the extent a valuation allowance is established in a period, an expense must be recorded within the income tax provision in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs



	22



1347 PROPERTY INSURANCE HOLDINGS, INC. $ amounts in thousands

Deferred policy acquisition costs represent the deferral of expenses that the Company incurs related to successful efforts to acquire new business or renew existing business. Acquisition costs, primarily commissions, premium taxes and underwriting and agency expenses related to issuing insurance policies are deferred and charged against income ratably over the terms of the related insurance policies. Management regularly reviews the categories of acquisition costs that are deferred and assesses the recoverability of this asset. Costs associated with unsuccessful efforts or costs that cannot be tied directly to a successful policy acquisition are expensed as incurred, as opposed to being deferred and amortized as the premium is earned.

Net Income (Loss) and Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

In the second quarter of 2014, the Company earned net income of $616 compared to a net loss of $523 in the second quarter of 2013 (net income of $2,319 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to net loss of $1,489 for the six months ended June 30, 2013). Including the impact of the beneficial conversion feature on convertible preferred shares, basic and diluted earnings per common share in the second quarter of 2014 was $0.15 compared to basic and diluted loss per common share of $0.52 in the second quarter of 2013 (basic and diluted earnings per common share of $0.71 and $0.70, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to basic and diluted loss per common share of $1.49 for the six months ended June 30, 2013).

The net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 is attributable to pre-tax underwriting profits of approximately $965. This underwriting profit was generated from the Company’s policy growth from both the Citizen’s take-out business as well as the independent agency production. The net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 is primarily due to continued loss reporting of damage from the significant hail event occurring in the month of February 2013, which was approximately $523.

The net income for the six months ended June 30, 2014 is attributable to pre-tax underwriting profits of approximately $3,213. This underwriting profit was generated from the Company’s policy growth from both the Citizen’s take-out business as well as the independent agency production. There were no significant weather events that occurred in the first six months of 2014. The Company benefited in the first five months of 2014 from the ceded catastrophe reinsurance purchased for the contract year of June 1, 2013 through May 31, 2014 since the cost of the catastrophe reinsurance was based upon the in-force policy exposures as of September 30, 2013. The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2013 is primarily due to a significant hail event occurring in the month of February 2013, which, net of ceded reinsurance recovery, was a $2,342 event.

Insurance Operations

For the quarter ended June 30, 2014, direct premiums written were $8,877 compared to $2,380 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, representing a 273.0% increase ($14,558 year to date compared to $2,823 prior year to date, representing a 415.7% increase). Net premiums written increased 366.3% to $6,398 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 compared with $1,372 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 ($11,756 year to date compared to $1,763 prior year to date, representing a 566.8% increase). Net premiums earned increased 583.0% to $4,740 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 compared with $694 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 ($8,854 year to date compared to $1,609 prior year to date, representing a 450.3% increase).



	24



1347 PROPERTY INSURANCE HOLDINGS, INC. $ amounts in thousands

The significant increase in direct written premiums is the result of the independent agency voluntary production which began in April 2013. These agents wrote approximately $5,915 of volume during the quarter ended June 30, 2014 ($9,915 year to date) as compared to approximately $841 during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 ($841 prior year to date). These increases were primarily from net new full peril policies written from the independent agency channel of approximately 3,000 policies during the quarter ended June 30, 2014, (5,600 policies year to date) as compared to approximately 500 policies during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 (500 policies prior year to date). Premium volume written from the Citizen’s take-out wind/hail only business was $2,962 during the quarter ended June 30, 2014 ($4,643 year to date) as compared to $1,539 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 ($1,982 prior year to date).

The loss ratio for the second quarter of 2014 was 24.8% compared to 92.5% for the second quarter of 2013 (17.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared with 154.7% for the same period in 2013). The decrease in the loss ratio for the second quarter of 2014 was due primarily to favorable development of losses occurring prior to the start of the second quarter of 2014, compared to adverse loss development experienced during the second quarter of 2013. The decrease in the loss ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was due primarily to no significant weather events occurring in 2014 compared to the unusual significant hail event that occurred in the first quarter of 2013 and had development carry over into the second quarter. The 2014 year to date loss ratio had the benefit of the release of a portion of prior accident year loss reserves, which decreased the loss ratio by 1.4 percentage points. No loss reserve release or strengthening was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The impact of catastrophes on the loss ratios were zero percentage points for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 145.6 percentage points for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

The expense ratio was 54.9% for the second quarter of 2014 compared to 97.6% for the second quarter of 2013 (46.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared with 76.8% for the same period in 2013). The decrease in the expense ratio for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, is primarily due to a higher increase in net premiums earned as compared to the increase in general and administrative expenses. Amortization of deferred policy acquisition cost expenses were 23.2% and 31.7% of net premiums earned, respectively, for the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 (22.4% year to date compared to 26.3% prior year to date), decreasing primarily due to actions taken by the Company to lower its premium taxes owed. General and administrative expenses were 31.6% and 65.9% of net premiums earned, respectively, for the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 (23.7% year to date compared to 50.5% prior year to date), decreasing primarily due to a higher increase in net premiums earned as compared to the increase in general and administrative expenses. . For the quarter ended June 30, 2014, general and administrative expenses incurred, primarily related to becoming a public entity, included management and board of director compensation, stock options and fees aggregating $493. Additionally, the Company incurred State of Louisiana assessment expenses of $193.

As a result of the above items, the Company's combined ratio was 79.7% in the second quarter of 2014 compared with 190.1% in the second quarter of 2013 (63.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared with 231.5% for the same period in 2013).

Catastrophe Excess of Loss Reinsurance

Maison obtains excess of loss ceded reinsurance protection for storms occurring, to reduce the insurance company’s risk. These reinsurance contracts are on a contract year of June 1 through May 31, based upon exposures insured as of September 30 each year. For each event occurring within a ninety-six hour period, Maison receives reinsurance recoveries up to $69,000 in excess of $3,000 per event. This $3,000 retention is the amount Maison retains in loss from each storm before the reinsurance protection is available. Maison also has another layer of reinsurance protection that can be used for the first event for losses above $72,000 per event, in an amount up to $20,000. If any of this $20,000 coverage is not used from the first event, the remaining portion is available for additional events. This $20,000 second layer coverage applies in total for all events occurring during the reinsurance period. This $20,000 second layer provides $1,000 in excess of $2,000 and $19,000 in excess of $72,000 for the second event. For the second event of the season, the earlier described $69,000 in excess of $2,000 is available since Maison has purchased a prepaid reinstatement premium protection for this coverage. The maximum Maison can pay from June 1, 2014 to May 31, 2015 is $5,000 in retention for any number of events as long as the total losses from all events do not exceed the reinsurance limits of all protection layers including the reinstatement of first protection layer, and no single event generates losses greater than $92,000. The estimated total cost of this coverage is approximately $10,869, which is a significant increase from the costs from the excess of loss reinsurance contracts ended May 31, 2014 of $3,385. This increase was due to the much greater reinsurance protection of $89,000 compared to the previous contract of $22,500 in excess of $1,500 retention.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

Income tax expense for the second quarter of 2014 was $438 ($1,042 year to date) compared to income tax benefit of $263 in the second quarter of 2013 ($767 prior year to date). The increase in income tax expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 is primarily attributable to the increased operating income in 2014 and state income tax recorded in 2014. The increase in income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 is primarily attributable to the increased operating income in 2014, and state

income tax recorded in 2014, partly offset by a tax benefit for a net operating loss carry forward recorded in 2014. See Note 8, "Income Taxes," to the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements for additional detail of the differences in income tax expense (benefit) recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively.

INVESTMENTS

Portfolio Composition

All of the Company's investments in fixed income securities are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value. At June 30, 2014, the Company held cash and cash equivalents and investments with a carrying value of $62,907. As of June 30, 2014, the Company held an investments portfolio comprised primarily of fixed income securities issued by the U.S. Government, government agencies and high quality corporate issuers. Investments held by the Company's insurance subsidiaries must comply with applicable domiciliary state regulations that prescribe the type, quality and concentration of investments.

Table 2 below summarizes the carrying value of investments, including cash and cash equivalents, at the dates indicated.

At June 30, 2014, 77.2% of fixed income securities, including treasury bills, government bonds and corporate bonds, had contractual maturities of five years or less. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because certain issuers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. The Company holds cash and high-grade short-term assets which, along with fixed income securities, management believes are sufficient in amount for the payment of loss and loss adjustment

expense reserves and other operating subsidiary obligations on a timely basis. In the event that additional cash is required to meet obligations to its policyholders, the Company believes that the high-quality, liquid investments in the portfolios provide it with sufficient liquidity.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that we will incur losses due to adverse changes in interest or currency exchange rates and equity prices. Given its operations typically invest in U.S. dollar denominated instruments and maintain a relatively insignificant investment in equity instruments, its primary market risk exposures in the investments portfolio are to changes in interest rates.

Because the investments portfolio is comprised of primarily fixed maturity instruments that are usually held to maturity, periodic changes in interest rate levels generally impact the Company's financial results to the extent that the investments are recorded at market value and reinvestment yields are different than the original yields on maturing instruments. During periods of rising interest rates, the market values of the existing fixed income securities will generally decrease. The reverse is true during periods of declining interest rates.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is defined as the risk of financial loss due to failure of the other party to a financial instrument to discharge an obligation. Credit risk arises from the Company's positions in short-term investments, corporate debt instruments and government bonds.

Maison's Board of Directors is responsible for the oversight of key investment policies and limits. These policies and limits are subject to annual review and approval by Maison's Board of Directors. Maison's Board of Directors is also responsible for ensuring that these policies are implemented and that procedures are in place to manage and control credit risk.

Table 4 below summarizes the composition of the fair values of fixed income securities, excluding cash and cash equivalents, at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, by rating as assigned by Standard and Poor's ("S&P") or Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's"). Fixed income securities consist of predominantly high-quality instruments in corporate and government bonds with approximately 98.3% of those investments rated 'A' or better at June 30, 2014.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment

The Company performs a quarterly analysis of its investment portfolio to determine if declines in market value are other-than-temporary. Further information regarding the Company's detailed analysis and factors considered in establishing an other-than-temporary impairment on an investment is discussed within Note 5, "Investments," to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

As a result of the analysis performed by the Company to determine declines in market value that are other-than-temporary, the Company recorded a write-down of zero and $188 for the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively, for other-than-temporary impairments related to investments (zero and $188 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively).

The length of time an individual investment may be held in an unrealized loss position may vary based on the opinion of the investment manager and their respective analyses related to valuation and to the various credit risks that may prevent the Company from recapturing the principal investment. In the case of an individual investment with a maturity date where the investment manager determines that there is little or no risk of default prior to the maturity of a holding, the Company would elect to hold the investment in an unrealized loss position until the price recovers or the investment matures. In situations where facts emerge that might increase the risk associated with recapture of principal, the Company may elect to sell investments at a loss.

1347 PROPERTY INSURANCE HOLDINGS, INC. $ amounts in thousands

At June 30, 2014, the gross unrealized losses for fixed income securities amounted to $3, and there were no unrealized losses attributable to non-investment grade fixed income securities.

At each of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, all unrealized losses on individual investments were considered temporary. Fixed income securities in unrealized loss positions continued to pay interest and were not subject to material changes in their respective debt ratings. The Company concluded that default risk did not exist at the time and, therefore, the declines in value were considered temporary. As the Company has the capacity to hold these investments to maturity, no impairment provision was considered necessary.

Favorable change in provision for loss and loss adjustment expense reserves for prior accident years:	(49	)	—	(126	)	—

For the quarter ended June 30, 2014, the Company reported $49 of favorable development for loss and loss adjustment expense reserves from prior accident years ($126 year to date). For the quarter ended June 30, 2013, the Company reported zero development for loss and loss adjustment expense reserves from prior accident years (zero year to date). The favorable development reported for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily related to lower than expected reported claims subsequent to December 31, 2013 for losses incurred during 2013.

The Company cannot predict whether loss and loss adjustment expense reserves will develop favorably or unfavorably from the amounts reported in the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements. The Company believes that any such development will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated equity but could have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial results for a given period.

See the “Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions” section of Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for additional information pertaining to the Company’s process of estimating the provision for loss and loss adjustment expense reserves.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

See Note 4, "Recently Issued Accounting Standards," to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for discussion of certain accounting standards that may be applicable to the Company's current and future consolidated financial statements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The purpose of liquidity management is to ensure that there is sufficient cash to meet all financial commitments and obligations as they fall due. The liquidity requirements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been met primarily by funds generated from operations, capital-raising transactions, investment maturities and income and other returns received on investments. Cash provided from these sources is used primarily for loss and loss adjustment expense payments and other operating expenses. The timing and amount of payments for net losses and loss adjustment expenses may differ materially from the Company's provisions for loss and loss adjustment expense reserves, which may create increased liquidity requirements.

Cash Flows

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the net cash provided by operating activities as reported on the unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows was $9,131. This source of cash can be primarily explained by the net income of $2,319; the decrease in premiums receivable of $2,152, primarily from the receipt of premium from Citizens related to the policies taken-out at December 2013; the increase in unearned premium reserves of $3,389, primarily due to the policy growth during the six month period; the increase in ceded reinsurance premiums payable of $2,528, from the new catastrophe reinsurance program effective June 1, 2014; the increase in current income taxes payable of $462, due to higher pre-tax operating income; and the increase in premiums collected in advance of $818, due to timing of insureds payment of premiums; offset by the use of cash to pay related parties of $2,431 due to settlement of the December 31, 2013 balance.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the net cash used in investing activities as reported on the unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows was $5,608. This use of cash was driven primarily by the purchase of fixed income securities.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the net cash provided by financing activities as reported on the unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows was $38,369. This source of cash is attributed to the net proceeds received from the issuance of common shares and convertible preferred shares during 2014 as further discussed in Note 11, "Shareholders' Equity," to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

In summary, as reported on the unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company's net increase in cash and cash equivalents during the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $41,892.

The Company's subsidiaries fund their obligations primarily through capital contributions received from its parent, premium income, policy fee income and investment income and maturities in the investments portfolios. As a holding company, the Company funds its obligations, which primarily consist of holding company operating expenses, primarily from cash on hand and receipt of dividends from MMI. Maison requires regulatory approval for the return of capital and, in certain circumstances, prior to the payment of dividends. As of June 30, 2014, Maison has negative unassigned funds, so it cannot pay any dividends to the Company without prior notice to LDOI.

Effective March 31, 2014, the Company completed its previously announced initial public offering of 1,887,500 shares of its common stock at a price to the public of $8.00 per share, and the exercise in full by representative of the underwriters of a 45-day option to purchase up to 283,125 additional shares of common stock to cover over-allotments. After the exercise of the over-allotment, PIH issued 2,170,625 common shares for total gross proceeds of $17,365. Net proceeds to the Company were $15,088 after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable by the Company.

On January 23, 2014, Fund Management Group LLC, an entity of which the Company's Chairman of the Board, Gordon G. Pratt, is a Managing Member and controlling equity holder, invested $2,000 in the Company in exchange for 80,000 Series A Convertible Preferred Shares ("Preferred Shares") of the Company pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares Purchase Agreement between Fund Management Group LLC and the Company. The Preferred Shares are non-voting and rank senior to all classes of capital stock of the Company. The Preferred Shares do not pay any dividends. At the time of the issuance, the value of the common stock into which the Preferred Shares is convertible had a fair value greater than the $2,000 proceeds for the issuance. Accordingly, the Company recorded a beneficial conversion feature on the Preferred Shares of $500 during the first quarter of 2014 which equals the amount by which the estimated fair value of the common stock issuable upon the conversion of the issued Preferred Shares exceeds the proceeds from the issuance.

Regulatory Capital

In the United States, a risk-based capital (“RBC”) formula is used by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) to identify property and casualty insurance companies that may not be adequately capitalized. Most states, including Louisiana, the domiciliary state of Maison, have adopted the NAIC RBC requirements. In general, insurers reporting surplus as regards policyholders below 200% of the authorized control level, as defined by the NAIC, at December 31 are subject to varying levels of regulatory action, including discontinuation of operations. As of December 31, 2013, surplus as regards policyholders reported by Maison exceeded the 200% threshold.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act; therefore, pursuant to Regulation S-K, we are not required to make disclosures under this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company's management performed an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, and completed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), as adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("the Exchange Act") as of June 30, 2014. Disclosure controls and procedures are the controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Based on that evaluation, the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

During the Company's quarter ended June 30, 2014, there were no changes in internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
