1. Organization and Business

HC2 Holdings, Inc. (“HC2” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”, “we” and “our”) is a diversified holding company which seeks to acquire and grow attractive businesses that it believes can generate long-term sustainable free cash flow and attractive returns. While the Company generally intends to acquire controlling equity interests in its operating subsidiaries, the Company also invests to a more limited extent in a variety of debt instruments or noncontrolling equity interest positions. The Company’s shares of common stock trade on the NYSE MKT LLC under the symbol “HCHC”.

The Company currently has seven reportable segments based on management’s organization of the enterprise—Manufacturing, Marine Services, Insurance, Utilities, Telecommunications, Life Sciences and Other which includes operations that do not meet the separately reportable segment thresholds.

1.Our Manufacturing segment includes Schuff International, Inc. ("Schuff") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Schuff is an integrated fabricator and erector of structural steel and heavy steel plates with headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona. Schuff has operations in Arizona, Georgia, Texas, Kansas and California, with its construction projects primarily located in the aforementioned states. In addition, Schuff has construction projects in select international markets, primarily Panama through, Schuff Hopsa Engineering, Inc., a Panamanian joint venture with Empresas Hopsa, S.A. that provides steel fabrication services. The Company maintains a 91% controlling interest in Schuff.

2.Our Marine Services segment includes Global Marine Systems Limited ("GMSL"). GMSL is a leading provider of engineering and underwater services on submarine cables.

3.Our Insurance segment includes United Teacher Associates Insurance Company ("UTA") and Continental General Insurance Company ("CGI", and together with UTA, "CII" or the "Insurance Companies"). Insurance Companies provide long-term care, life and annuity coverage to approximately 99,000 individuals.

4.Our Utilities segment includes American Natural Gas ("ANG"). ANG is a premier distributor of natural gas motor fuel headquartered in the Northeast. ANG designs, builds, owns, acquires, operates and maintains compressed natural gas fueling stations for transportation vehicles. ANG’s team is comprised of industry, legal, construction, engineering and entrepreneurial experts who are working directly with the leading natural gas companies to seek out opportunities for building successful natural gas fueling stations. Vehicle manufacturers and fleet operators are pursuing natural gas vehicles in the US markets to reduce carbon emissions and environmental impacts while providing a cost-effective alternative to foreign crude oil. The Company maintains a 55% controlling interest in ANG.

5.In our Telecommunications segment, we operate a telecommunications business including a network of direct routes and provide premium voice communication services for national telecom operators, mobile operators, wholesale carriers, prepaid operators, Voice over Internet Protocol service operators and Internet service providers from our International Carrier Services ("ICS") business unit.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regulations. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such principles and regulations. In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments (all of which are of a normal and recurring nature), which are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, cash flows and comprehensive income (loss) for the interim periods. The results for the Company’s three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Principles of Consolidation - The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and all other subsidiaries over which the Company exerts control. All intercompany profits, transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. As of March 31, 2016, the Company has a 100% interest in the Insurance Companies, a 97% interest in GMSL, a 91% interest in Schuff, a 55% interest in ANG and a 72% interest in DMi, Inc. Through its subsidiary, Pansend, the Company has a 77% interest in Genovel Orthopedics, Inc., a 61% interest in R2 Dermatology and a 60% interest in Benevir Biopharm, Inc. The results of each of these entities are consolidated with the Company’s results from and after their respective acquisition dates based on guidance from the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 810, “Consolidation” (“ASC 810”). The remaining interests not owned by the Company are presented as a noncontrolling interest component of total equity. Schuff uses a 4-4-5 week quarterly cycle, which for the first quarter of 2016 ended on April 2, 2016.

Reclassification - Certain previous year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentations related to the reporting of new financial statement line items.

Newly Adopted Accounting Principles

In September 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-16, “Business Combination Topic No. 805: Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement - Period Adjustments”, which requires adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period to be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. This includes any effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted this update, which did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, “Interest - Imputation of Interest Subtopic No. 835-30: Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements”, which codifies an SEC staff announcement that entities are permitted to defer and present debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements as assets, rather than as a direct offset to the liability as is required now under ASU 2015-03. On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted this update, which did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In July, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-12, "(Part I) Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts, (Part II) Plan Investment Disclosures, (Part III) Measurement Date Practical Expedient". Part I of this ASU is related to one area of several potential simplifications for employee benefit plans and designates contract value as the only required measure for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts, which maintains the relevant information while reducing the cost and complexity of reporting for fully benefit responsive investment contracts. On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted this update, which did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May, 2015, the FASB has issued ASU 2015-9, "Disclosures About Short-Duration Contracts". This ASU requires insurance entities to disclose for annual reporting periods the certain information the liability for unpaid claims and claim adjustment expenses. On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted this update, which did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-8, “Business Combinations Topic No. 805: Pushdown Accounting-Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 115 (SEC Update)”, which rescinds certain SEC guidance in order

to confirm with ASU 2014-17, “Pushdown Accounting” (“ASU 2014-17”). ASU 2014-17 was issued in November 2014 and provides a reporting entity that is a business or nonprofit activity (an “acquiree”) the option to apply pushdown accounting to its separate financial statements when an acquirer obtains control of the acquiree. On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted this update, which did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-07, "Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent)". The amendments in this ASU remove the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient. The amendments also remove the requirement to make certain disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient. Rather, those disclosures are limited to investments for which the entity has elected to measure the fair value using that practical expedient. On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted this update, which did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-2, “Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis”, which amends the consolidation requirements in ASC 810 and significantly changes the consolidation analysis required under U.S. GAAP relating to whether or not to consolidate certain legal entities. On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted this update, which did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-1, “Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items”, which eliminates the concept from U.S. GAAP the concept of an extraordinary item. Under the ASU, an entity will no longer (1) segregate an extraordinary item from the results of ordinary operations; (2) separately present an extraordinary item on its income statement, net of tax, after income from continuing operations; or (3) disclose income taxes and earnings-per-share data applicable to an extraordinary item. On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted this update, which did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" (Topic 718), which introduces targeted amendments intended to simplify the accounting for stock compensation. Specifically, the ASU requires all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies (including tax benefits of dividends on share-based payment awards) to be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement. Early adoption is permitted. The Company's effective date for adoption is January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the accounting update on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, "Principal versus Agent Considerations" (Topic 606), which updates the new revenue standard by clarifying the principal versus agent implementation guidance. Early adoption is permitted. The Company's effective date for adoption is January 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the accounting update on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, "Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting" (Topic 323), which requires an investor to initially apply the equity method of accounting from the date it qualifies for that method, i.e., the date the investor obtains significant influence over the operating and financial policies of an investee. The ASU eliminates the previous requirement to retroactively adjust the investment and record a cumulative catch up for the periods that the investment had been held, but did not qualify for the equity method of accounting. Early adoption is permitted. The Company's effective date for adoption is January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the accounting update on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-06, "Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments" (Topic 815), which addresses how an entity should assess whether contingent call (put) options that can accelerate the payment of debt instruments are clearly and closely related to their debt hosts. This assessment is necessary to determine if the option(s) must be separately accounted for as a derivative. The ASU clarifies that an entity is required to assess the embedded call (put) options solely in accordance with a specific four-step decision sequence. This means entities are not also required to assess whether the contingency for exercising the option(s) is indexed to interest rates or credit risk. For example, when evaluating debt instruments puttable upon a change in control, the event triggering the change in control is not relevant to the assessment. Only the resulting settlement of debt is subject to the four-step decision sequence. Early adoption is permitted. The Company's effective date for adoption is January

1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the accounting update on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-05, "Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships" (Topic 815), which requires an entity to discontinue a designated hedging relationship in certain circumstances, including termination of the derivative hedging instrument or if the entity wishes to change any of the critical terms of the hedging relationship. ASU 2016-05 amends Topic 815 to clarify that novation of a derivative (replacing one of the parties to a derivative instrument with a new party) designated as the hedging instrument would not, in and of itself, be considered a termination of the derivative instrument or a change in critical terms requiring discontinuation of the designated hedging relationship. Early adoption is permitted. The Company's effective date for adoption is January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the accounting update on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases" (Topic 842), which applies a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record, for all leases with a lease term of more than 12 months, an asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a liability to make lease payments. The ASU requires a lessor to classify leases as either sales-type, direct financing or operating, similar to existing U.S. GAAP. Classification depends on the same five criteria used by lessees plus certain additional factors. The new leases standard addresses other considerations including identification of a lease, separating lease and nonlease components of a contract, sale and leaseback transactions, modifications, combining contracts, reassessment of the lease term, and remeasurement of lease payments. Early adoption is permitted. The Company’s effective date for adoption is January 1, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting update on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities" (Topic 825-10) which, among other things, will require all equity securities currently classified as “available for sale” to be reported at fair value, with holding gains and losses recognized in net income instead of accumulated other comprehensive income. Certain provisions of the ASU are eligible for early adoption. The Company’s effective date for adoption is January 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting update on its consolidated financial statements.

3. Business Combinations

The Company’s acquisitions were accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting which requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Estimates of fair value included in the condensed consolidated financial statements, in conformity with ASC No. 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), represent the Company’s best estimates and valuations developed with the assistance of independent appraisers and, where such valuations have not yet been completed or are not available, industry data and trends and by reference to relevant market rates and transactions. The following estimates and assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies beyond the control of the Company. Accordingly, the Company cannot provide assurance that the estimates, assumptions, and values reflected in the valuations will be realized, and actual results could vary materially.

Any changes to the initial estimates of the fair value of the assets and liabilities will be recorded as adjustments to those assets and liabilities and residual amounts will be allocated to goodwill. In accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations”, if additional information is obtained about these assets and liabilities within the measurement period (not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition), including finalization of asset appraisals, the Company will refine its estimates of fair value to allocate the purchase price more accurately.

Insurance Companies

On December 24, 2015, the Company completed the acquisitions of 100% of the interests in the Insurance Companies as well as all assets owned by the sellers of the Insurance Companies or their affiliates that are used exclusively or primarily in the business of the Insurance Companies, subject to certain exceptions. The operations of the Insurance Companies were consolidated into our insurance operating segment, with a plan to leverage their existing platform and industry expertise to identify strategic growth opportunities for managing closed blocks of long-term care business.

The aggregate consideration provided in connection with the acquisition of the Insurance Companies and related transactions and agreements was valued at $18.6 million and consisted of $7.0 million of cash, $2.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 11.0% Senior Secured Notes due 2019, 1,007,422 shares of the Company's common stock and five years warrants to purchase 2,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $7.08 per share (subject to customary adjustments upon stock splits or similar transactions) exercisable on or after February 3, 2016 (the "Warrant").

Purchase Price Allocation

The preliminary fair values of identified assets acquired, liabilities assumed, residual goodwill and consideration transferred are summarized as follows (in thousands):



Fair value of consideration transferred
Cash	$	6,981
Company’s Senior Secured Notes	1,879
Company's common stock	5,380

Value of business acquired	(51,870		)
Deferred tax liability	(1,704		)
Other liabilities	(11,166		)
Total liabilities assumed	(1,917,137		)
Total net assets acquired	$	18,572

The values of intangibles, life, accident and health reserves, annuity reserves, and value of business acquired are estimates and might change.

The acquisition of the Insurance Companies resulted in goodwill of approximately $46.4 million. Goodwill was the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. The Insurance Companies were recognized as a new stand-alone reporting unit. Goodwill is not amortized and is not deductible for tax purposes.

The Value of Business Acquired ("VOBA")

The VOBA was derived using a “Becker-ized” Present Value of Distributable Earnings (“PVDE”) method. The PVDE was derived using the statutory after tax profits. The VOBA was valued at $51.9 million and is amortized over the anticipated remaining

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

future lifetime of the acquired long term care blocks of business. VOBA is amortized in relation to the projected future premium of the acquired long term care blocks of business.

Reinsurance Recoverable

The reinsurance recoverable balance represents amounts recoverable from third party. U.S. GAAP requires insurance reserves and reinsurance recoverable balances to be presented on a gross basis, as opposed to U.S. statutory accounting principles, where reserves are presented net of reinsurance. Accordingly, the Company grossed up the fair value of the net insurance contract liability for the amount of reinsurance of approximately $515.9 million, to arrive at a gross insurance liability, and recognized an offsetting reinsurance recoverable amount of approximately $515.9 million. As part of this process, management considered reinsurance counterparty credit risk and considers it to have an immaterial impact on the reinsurance fair value gross-up. To mitigate this risk substantially all reinsurance is ceded to companies with investment grade S&P ratings.

Amounts recoverable from reinsurers were estimated in a manner consistent with the liability associated with the reinsured policies and were an estimate of the reinsurance recoverable on paid and unpaid losses, including an estimate for losses incurred but not reported. Reinsurance recoverable represents expected cash inflows from reinsurers for liabilities ceded and therefore incorporate uncertainties as to the timing and amount of claim payments. Reinsurance recoverable includes the balances due from reinsurers under the terms of the reinsurance agreements for these ceded balances as well as settlement amounts currently due.

Contingent Liability

Pursuant to the purchase agreement, the Company also agreed to pay to the sellers, on an annual basis with respect to the years 2015 through 2019, the amount, if any, by which the Insurance Companies’ cash flow testing and premium deficiency reserves decrease from the amount of such reserves as of December 31, 2014. Such payments are capped at $13.0 million. The balance is calculated based on the fluctuation of the statutory cash flow testing and premium deficiency reserves annually following each of the Insurance Companies' 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. Based on the 2015 statutory statements, the Company does not have a payment due. Further, the Company's current estimate is that the obligation will not be incurred up through the year ended December 31, 2019. This expectation is primarily driven by the following factors (i) less confidence that treasury rates will be increasing back to historical averages any time soon; (ii) uncertainty around future operating expenses historically performed by sellers; and (iii) the premium deficiency reserve as reported at December 31, 2015 increased by approximately $8.0 million and because the balance is cumulative over the period, a decrease of approximately $8.0 million would be required first before there would be any obligation to the sellers. The Company will re-perform this assessment at each reporting period through December 31, 2019 or until the $13.0 million is paid in full.

Control Level Risk-Based Capital

In connection with the consummation of the acquisition, the Company has agreed with the Ohio Department of Insurance ("ODOI") that, for five years following the closing of the transaction, it will contribute to CGI cash or marketable securities acceptable to the ODOI to the extent required for CGI’s total adjusted capital to be not less than 400% of CGI’s authorized control level risk-based capital (each as defined under Ohio law and reported in CGI’s statutory statements filed with the ODOI). Similarly, the Company has agreed with the Texas Department of Insurance ("TDOI") that, for five years following the closing of the transaction, it will contribute to UTA cash or other admitted assets acceptable to the TDOI to the extent required for UTA’s total adjusted capital to be not less than 400% of UTA’s authorized control level risk-based capital (each as defined under Texas law and reported in UTA’s statutory statements filed with the TDOI).

Also in connection with the consummation of the acquisition, each of the Insurance Companies entered into a capital maintenance agreement with Great American Financial Resources, Inc., ("GAFRI") (each, a “Capital Maintenance Agreement”, and collectively, the “Capital Maintenance Agreements”). Under each Capital Maintenance Agreement, if the applicable Insurance Company's total adjusted capital reported in its annual statutory statements is less than 400% of its authorized control level risk-based capital, GAFRI will pay cash or assets to the applicable Insurance Company as required to eliminate such shortfall (after giving effect to any capital contributions made by the Company or its affiliates since the date of the relevant annual statutory statement). GAFRI’s obligation to make such payments is capped at $25.0 million under the Capital Maintenance Agreement with UTA and $10.0 million under the Capital Maintenance Agreement with CGI. Each of the Capital Maintenance Agreements will remain in effect from January 1, 2016 to January 1, 2021 or until payments by GAFRI thereunder equal $35.0 million. Pursuant

to the purchase agreement, the Company will indemnify GAFRI for the amount of any payments made by it under the Capital Maintenance Agreements.

Through March 31, 2016, total capital and surplus to be reported in the Insurance Companies’ quarterly statutory statements, decreased by less than $1.0 million and remains in excess of 400% of the authorized control level risk-based capital.

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.

The Company analyzes its MBS 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.

The Company believes it will recover its cost basis in the non impaired securities with unrealized losses and that the Company has the ability to hold the securities until they recover in value. The Company neither has an intention to sell nor does it expect to be required to sell the securities with unrealized losses as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. However, unforeseen facts and circumstances may cause the Company to sell fixed maturity and equity securities in the ordinary course of managing its portfolio to meet certain diversification, credit quality and liquidity guidelines.

The Company reviews the fair value hierarchy classifications each reporting period. Changes in the observability of the valuation attributes may result in a reclassification of certain financial assets or liabilities. Such reclassifications are reported as transfers in and out of Level 3, or between other levels, at the beginning fair value for the reporting period in which the changes occur. The Company transferred $1.1 million corporate and other bonds and $0.5 million preferred stock from Level 1 into Level 2 during the three months ended March 31, 2016 reflecting the level of market activity in these instruments. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 for three months ended March 31, 2015.

Availability of secondary market activity for certain asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities during the three months ended March 31, 2016 impacted the market observable inputs used to establish fair values. Coupled with more consistent pricing from third-party sources, resulted in the Company's conclusion that there was sufficient trading activity in these instruments to support classifying these securities as Level 2 as of March 31, 2016. Accordingly, the Company’s assessment resulted in a net transfer out of Level 3 of $9.5 million related to asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities during three months ended March 31, 2016. Conversely, for the lack of the above factors, the Company recorded a net transfers to Level 3 of $11.7 million related to asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities during three months ended March 31, 2016.

The methods and assumptions the Company uses to estimate the fair value of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below.

Fixed Maturity Securities - the fair values of the Company’s publicly-traded fixed maturity securities are generally based on prices obtained from independent pricing services. Prices from pricing services are sourced from multiple vendors, and a vendor hierarchy is maintained by asset type based on historical pricing experience and vendor expertise. In some cases, the Company receives prices from multiple pricing services for each security, but ultimately uses the price from the pricing service highest in the vendor hierarchy based on the respective asset type. Consistent with the fair value hierarchy described above, securities with validated quotes from pricing services are generally reflected within Level 2, as they are primarily based on observable pricing for similar assets and/or other market observable inputs.

If the Company ultimately concludes that pricing information received from the independent pricing service is not reflective of market activity, non-binding broker quotes are used, if available. If the Company concludes the values from both pricing services and brokers are not reflective of market activity, it may override the information from the pricing service or broker with an internally developed valuation; however, this occurs infrequently. Internally developed valuations or non-binding broker quotes are also used to determine fair value in circumstances where vendor pricing is not available. These estimates may use significant unobservable inputs, which reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset. Pricing service overrides, internally developed valuations and non-binding broker quotes are generally based on significant unobservable inputs and are reflected as Level 3 in the valuation hierarchy.

The inputs used in the valuation of corporate and government securities include, but are not limited to, standard market observable inputs which are derived from, or corroborated by, market observable data including market yield curve, duration, call provisions, observable prices and spreads for similar publicly traded or privately traded issues that incorporate the credit quality and industry sector of the issuer.

For structured securities, valuation is based primarily on matrix pricing or other similar techniques using standard market inputs including spreads for actively traded securities, spreads off benchmark yields, expected prepayment speeds and volumes, current and forecasted loss severity, rating, weighted average coupon, weighted average maturity, average delinquency rates, geographic region, debt-service coverage ratios and issuance-specific information including, but not limited to: collateral type, payment terms of the underlying assets, payment priority within the tranche, structure of the security, deal performance and vintage of loans.

When observable inputs are not available, the market standard valuation techniques for determining the estimated fair value of certain types of securities that trade infrequently, and therefore have little or no price transparency, rely on inputs that are significant to the estimated fair value that are not observable in the market or cannot be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. These unobservable inputs can be based in large part on management judgment or estimation, and cannot be supported by reference to market activity. Even though unobservable, these inputs are based on assumptions deemed appropriate given the circumstances and are believed to be consistent with what other market participants would use when pricing such securities.

The fair values of private placement securities are primarily determined using a discounted cash flow model. In certain cases these models primarily use observable inputs with a discount rate based upon the average of spread surveys collected from private market intermediaries who are active in both primary and secondary transactions, taking into account, among other factors, the credit quality and industry sector of the issuer and the reduced liquidity associated with private placements. Generally, these securities have been reflected within Level 3. For certain private fixed maturities, the discounted cash flow model may also incorporate significant unobservable inputs, which reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the security. To the extent management determines that such unobservable inputs are not significant to the price of a security, a Level 2 classification is made. Otherwise, a Level 3 classification is used.

Equity Securities – the balance consists principally of common and preferred stock of publicly and privately traded companies. The fair values of publicly traded equity securities are primarily based on quoted market prices in active markets and are classified within Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of preferred equity securities, for which quoted market prices are not readily available, are based on prices obtained from independent pricing services and these securities are generally classified within Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of common stock of privately held company was determined using unobservable market inputs, including volatility and underlying security values and was classified as Level 3.

Cash Equivalents – the balance consists of money market instruments which are generally valued using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible for identical assets and are primarily classified as Level 1. Various time deposits carried as cash equivalents are not measured at estimated fair value and therefore are excluded from the tables presented.

Derivatives – the balance consists of common stock purchase warrants and call options. The fair values of the call options are primarily based on quoted market prices in active markets and are classified within Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Depending on the terms, the common stock warrants were valued using either Black-Scholes analysis or Monte Carlo Simulation. Fair value was determined using unobservable market inputs, including volatility and underlying security values, therefore the common stock purchase warrants were classified as Level 3.

Warrant Liability – the balance consists of the Warrant and recorded within other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Fair value was determined using Monte Carlo Simulation. Monte Carlo Simulation was utilized because the adjustments for exercise price and warrant shares represent path dependent features; the exercise price from prior periods needs to be known to determine whether a subsequent sale of shares occurs at a price that is lower than the then current exercise price. The analysis entails a Geometric Brownian Motion based simulation of one hundred unique price paths of the Company's stock for each combination of assumptions. Fair value was determined using unobservable market inputs, including volatility, and a range of assumptions regarding a possibility of an equity capital raise each year and the expected size of future equity capital raises. The present value of a given simulated scenario was based on intrinsic value at expiration discounted to the valuation date, taking into account any adjustments to the exercise price or warrant shares issuable. The average present value across all one hundred independent price paths represents the estimate of fair value for each combination of assumption. Therefore, the warrant liability was classified as Level 3.

Since internally developed Level 3 asset fair values represent less than 1% of the Company’s total assets, any justifiable changes in unobservable inputs used to determine internally developed fair values would not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.

Mortgage Loans on Real Estate – the fair value of mortgage loans on real estate is estimated by discounting cash flows, both principal and interest, using current interest rates for mortgage loans with similar credit ratings and similar remaining maturities. As such, inputs include current treasury yields and spreads, which are based on the credit rating and average life of the loan, corresponding to the market spreads. The valuation of mortgage loans on real estate is considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Policy Loans – the policy loans are reported at the unpaid principal balance and carry a fixed interest rate. The Company determined that the carrying value approximates fair value because (i) policy loans present no credit risk as the amount of the loan cannot exceed the obligation due upon the death of the insured or surrender of the underlying policy; (ii) there is no active market for policy loans, i.e. there is no commonly available exit price to determine the fair value of policy loans in the open market; (iii) policy loans are intricately linked to the underlying policy liability and in many cases, policy loan balances are recovered through offsetting the loan balance against the benefits paid under the policy; and (iv) policy loans can be repaid by policyholders at any time, and this prepayment uncertainty reduces the potential impact of a difference between amortized cost (carrying value) and fair value. The valuation of policy loans is considered Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Other Invested Assets – the balance primarily includes common stock purchase warrants. The fair values were derived using Black-Scholes analysis using unobservable market inputs, including volatility and underlying security values, therefore the common stock purchase warrants were classified as Level 3.

Annuity Benefits Accumulated – The fair value of annuity benefits was determined using the surrender values of the annuities and classified as Level 3.

Long-term Obligations – The fair value of the Company’s long-term obligations was determined using Bloomberg Valuation Service BVAL. The methodology combines direct market observations from contributed sources with quantitative pricing models to generate evaluated prices and classified as Level 2.

11.0% Senior Secured Notes due 2019

On November 20, 2014, the Company issued $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 11.0% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 (the “November 2014 Notes”). The November 2014 Notes were issued at 99.05% of principal amount, which resulted in a discount of $2.4 million. The net proceeds from the issuance of the November 2014 Notes were used to repay a senior secured credit facility which provided for a twelve month, floating interest rate term loan of $214 million and a delayed draw term loan of $36 million (the “September Credit Facility”) that was entered into in connection with the GMSL acquisition. On March 26, 2015, the Company issued an additional $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 11.0% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 (the “March 2015 Notes”). The March 2015 Notes were issued at 100.5% of principal amount, plus accrued interest from November 20, 2014, which resulted in a premium of $0.3 million. On August 5, 2015, the Company issued an additional $5.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 11.0% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 (the “August 2015 Notes”). The August 2015 Notes were issued in consideration for a release of claims by holders of the Preferred Stock discussed below (see Note 14 "Equity" for additional information). All of the 11.0% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 (collectively, the "11.0% Notes") were issued under an indenture dated November 20, 2014, by and among HC2, the guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association (“U.S. Bank”), as trustee (the “11.0% Notes Indenture”).

HC2 HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Maturity and Interest. The 11.0% Notes mature on December 1, 2019. The 11.0% Notes accrue interest at a rate of 11.0% per year. Interest on the 11.0% Notes is paid semi-annually on December 1st and June 1st of each year.

Ranking. The 11.0% Notes and the guarantees thereof are HC2’s and certain of its direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries’ (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) general senior secured obligations. The 11.0% Notes and the guarantees thereof rank: (i) senior in right of payment to all of HC2’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ future subordinated debt; (ii) equal in right of payment with all of HC2’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ existing and future senior debt and effectively senior to all of its unsecured debt to the extent of the value of the collateral; and (iii) effectively subordinated to all liabilities of its non-guarantor subsidiaries.

Collateral. The 11.0% Notes and the guarantees thereof are collateralized on a first-priority basis by substantially all of HC2’s assets and the assets of the Subsidiary Guarantors (except for certain “Excluded Assets,” and subject to certain “Permitted Liens,” each as defined in the 11.0% Notes Indenture). The 11.0% Notes Indenture permits the Company, under specified circumstances, to incur additional debt that could equally and ratably share in the collateral. The amount of such debt is limited by the covenants contained in the 11.0% Notes Indenture.

Certain Covenants. The 11.0% Notes Indenture contains covenants limiting, among other things, the ability of HC2, and, in certain cases, HC2’s subsidiaries, to incur additional indebtedness or issue certain types of redeemable equity interests; create liens; engage in sale-leaseback transactions; pay dividends; make distributions in respect of capital stock; and make certain other restricted payments; sell assets; engage in transactions with affiliates; or consolidate or merge with, or sell substantially all of its assets to, another person. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. HC2 is also required to maintain compliance with certain financial tests, including minimum liquidity and collateral coverage ratios. As of March 31, 2016, HC2 was in compliance with these covenants.

Redemption Premiums. The Company may redeem the 11.0% Notes at a redemption price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount of the 11.0% Notes plus a make-whole premium before December 1, 2016. The make-whole premium is the greater of (i) 1% of principal amount or (ii) the excess of the present value of redemption price at December 1, 2016 plus all required interest payments through December 1, 2016 over the principal amount. After December 1, 2016, the Company may redeem the 11.0% Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest. The Company is required to make an offer to purchase the 11.0% Notes upon a change of control at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the 11.0% Notes on the date of purchase plus accrued interest.

Schuff Credit Facilities

As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, Schuff had no amounts outstanding under the Schuff Facility other than the $3.9 million in outstanding letters of credit issued under the facility at March 31, 2016. The Schuff Facility is secured by a first priority, perfected security interest in all of Schuff’s assets, excluding the real estate, and its present and future subsidiaries and a second priority, perfected security interest in all of Schuff’s real estate. The security agreements pursuant to which Schuff’s assets are pledged prohibit any further pledge of such assets without the written consent of the bank. The Schuff Facility contains various restrictive covenants. At March 31, 2016, Schuff was in compliance with these covenants.

On May 6, 2014, Schuff entered into an amendment to the Schuff Facility, pursuant to which Wells Fargo extended the maturity date of the Schuff Facility to April 30, 2019, lowered the interest rate charged in connection with borrowings under the line of credit and allowed for the issuance of a note payable totaling $5.0 million, collateralized by its real estate (“Real Estate Term Advance”). At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, Schuff had borrowed $3.9 million and $4.0 million, respectively, under the Real Estate Term Advance. The Real Estate Term Advance has a five year amortization period requiring monthly principal payments and a final balloon payment at maturity.

ANG established a term loan with Signature Financial in October 2013. This term loan has a five year term and bears interest at the rate of 5.5%. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, $0.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively, remained outstanding under this term loan.

13. Income Taxes

Income Tax Benefit

Income tax was a benefit of $2.5 million and a benefit of $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The Company used the Annual Effective Tax Rate (“ETR”) approach of ASC 740-270 (formerly FIN 18) to calculate its first quarter 2016 interim tax provision.

NOL Limitation

The Company has an estimated United States NOL carryforward in the amount of $87.1 million. In the first quarter of 2014, substantial acquisitions of the Company's stock were reported by new beneficial owners of 5.0% or more of the Company’s common stock on Schedule 13D filings made with the SEC. On May 29, 2014, the Company issued 30,000 shares of Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and 1,500,000 shares of common stock to finance the acquisition of Schuff. During the second quarter the Company completed a Section 382 review. The conclusions of this review indicate that an ownership change had occurred as of May 29, 2014. The Company’s annual Section 382 base limit following the ownership change is estimated to be $2.3 million per year. On November 4, 2015, HC2 issued 8,452,500 shares of its stock in a primary offering which the Company believes resulted in a Section 382 ownership change resulting in an additional annual limitation to cumulative carryforward. NOLs of approximately $83.1 million are subject to this new limitation. The Company does not believe that any NOLs will expire as a result of the November 2015 ownership change.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

The Company follows the provision of ASC No. 740-10, “Income Taxes” which prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the Company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. The Company is subject to challenge from various taxing authorities relative to certain tax planning strategies, including certain intercompany transactions as well as regulatory taxes. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits may change in the next 12 months, however, the Company does not expect the change to have a significant impact on the results of operations or the financial position of the Company.

Examinations

The Company conducts business globally, and as a result, the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. The open tax years contain matters that could be subject to differing interpretations of applicable tax laws and regulations as they relate to the amount, character, timing or inclusion of revenue and expenses or the applicability of income tax credits for the relevant tax period. Given the nature of tax audits there is a risk that disputes may arise. Tax years 2002 - 2015 remain open for examination.

On July 16, 2013, Plaintiffs Xplornet Communications Inc. and Xplornet Broadband, Inc. (“Xplornet”) initiated an action against Inukshuk Wireless Inc. (“Inukshuk”), Globility Communications Corporation (“Globility”), MIPPS Inc., Primus Telecommunications Canada Inc. ("PTCI") and Primus Telecommunications Group, Incorporated (n/k/a HC2) ("PTGi").

Xplornet also alleges similar claims against Inukshuk, and seeks damages from all defendants in the amount of $50 million. On January 29, 2014, Globility, MIPPS Inc., and PTCI, demanded indemnification pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement among PTUS, Inc., PTCAN, Inc., PTGi, Primus Telecommunications Holding, Inc., Lingo Holdings, Inc., and Primus Telecommunications International, Inc., dated as of May 10, 2013. On February 14, 2014, the Company assumed the defense of this litigation, while reserving all of its rights under the Equity Purchase Agreement. Inukshuk filed a cross claim against Globility, MIPPS, PTCI, and PTGi. Inukshuk asserts that if Inukshuk is found liable to Xplornet, then Inukshuk is entitled to contribution and indemnity, compensatory damages, interest, and costs from the Company. The Company and Inukshuk have moved for summary judgment against Xplornet, arguing that there was no agreement between Globility and Xplornet to acquire the licenses at issue. The hearing on summary judgment is scheduled for September 26, 2016.

On January 19, 2016, PTCI sought and obtained an order under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (the “CCAA”) from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. PTCI received an Initial Order staying all proceedings against PTCI until February 26, 2016 - which it has moved to extend through September 2016. On February 25, 2016, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice extended the stay of proceedings until September 19, 2016. PTCI has advised the Company that this stays all proceedings against PTCI, Globility, and MIPPS, except against the Company.

Tax Matters

Currently, the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) is auditing a subsidiary previously held by the Company. The Company intends to cooperate in audit matters. To date, CRA has not proposed any specific adjustments and the audit is ongoing.

15. Share-Based Compensation

On April 11, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the HC2 Holdings, Inc. 2014 Omnibus Equity Award Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”), which was approved by our stockholders at the annual meeting of stockholders held on June 12, 2014. The Omnibus Plan provides that no further awards will be granted pursuant to the Company’s Management Compensation Plan, as amended (the “Prior Plan”). However, awards that had been previously granted pursuant to the Prior Plan will continue to be subject to and governed by the terms of the Prior Plan. As of March 31, 2016, there were 465,241 shares of the Company’s common stock underlying outstanding awards under the Prior Plan.

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company administers the Company’s Omnibus Plan and the Prior Plan and has broad authority to administer, construe and interpret the plans.

The Omnibus Plan provides for the grant of awards of non-qualified stock options, incentive (qualified) stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, other stock based awards, performance compensation awards (including cash bonus awards) or any combination of the foregoing. The Company typically issues new shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options, as opposed to using treasury shares. The Omnibus Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to adjustment as provided in the Omnibus Plan.

The Company follows guidance which addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions whereby an entity receives employee services in exchange for either equity instruments of the enterprise or liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. The guidance generally requires that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value based method and share-based compensation expense be recorded, based on the grant date fair value, estimated in accordance with the guidance, for all new and unvested stock awards that are ultimately expected to vest as the requisite service is rendered.

There were 6,848 and 691,205 options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Of the total options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, 6,848 and 169,697, respectively, of such options were granted to Philip Falcone, pursuant to a standalone option agreement entered in connection with Mr. Falcone’s appointment as Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and not pursuant to the Omnibus Plan. The antidilution protection provision contained in such standalone option agreement was canceled in April 2016 (see Note 21 - Subsequent Events, for additional information). The weighted average fair value at date of grant for options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $3.02 and $3.16, respectively, per option. The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions shown as a weighted average for the year:

Total share-based compensation expense recognized by the Company and its subsidiaries under all equity compensation arrangements during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $3.2 million and $2.7 million, respectively. Most of the Company’s stock awards vest ratably during the vesting period. The Company recognizes compensation expense for equity awards, reduced by estimated forfeitures, using the straight-line basis.

16. Equity

As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there were 35,314,910 and 35,249,749 shares of common stock outstanding, respectively. As of March 31, 2016 and as of December 31, 2015, there were 53,172 shares of Preferred Stock outstanding.

Preferred and Common Stock

On May 29, 2014, the Company issued 30,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 1,500,000 shares of common stock, the proceeds of which were used to pay for a portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of Schuff. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at a conversion price of $4.25. On September 22, 2014, the Company issued 11,000 shares of Series A-1 Convertible Participating Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Series A-1 Preferred Stock”). Each share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock is convertible at a conversion price of $4.25. On January 5, 2015, the Company issued 14,000 shares of Series A-2 Convertible Participating Preferred Stock of the Company (the "Series A-2 Preferred Stock" and together with the Series A Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”). Each share of Series A-2 Preferred Stock is convertible at a conversion price of $8.25. The Company has proposed to amend, at the next annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company schedule for June 14, 2016, the certificates of designation governing the Series A Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock and Series A-2 Preferred Stock to reflect the issuance of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock as a class of preferred stock which ranks at parity with the Series A Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock and to make certain other technical and administrative changes to conform the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock to those of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock.

The conversion prices for the Preferred Stock are subject to adjustments for dividends, certain distributions, stock splits, combinations, reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers, recapitalizations and similar events. The Preferred Stock accrue a cumulative quarterly cash dividend at an annualized rate of 7.5%. In addition, the accrued value of the Preferred Stock accretes quarterly at an annualized rate of 4.0% that will be reduced to 2.0% or 0.0% if the Company achieves specified rates of growth measured by increases in its net asset value.

The Company recorded a $0.3 million beneficial conversion feature on its Series A-1 Preferred Stock as a result of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock exceeding the conversion price. The Company's beneficial conversion feature on its Series A-1 Preferred Stock was calculated using the intrinsic value ($4.36—$4.25) multiplied by the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock ($11,000,000 / $4.25).

Each share of Preferred Stock may be converted by the holder into common stock at any time based on the then-applicable conversion price. On the seventh anniversary of the issue date of the Series A Preferred Stock, holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to cause the Company to redeem the Preferred Stock at the accrued value per share plus accrued but unpaid dividends. Each share of Preferred Stock that is not so redeemed will be automatically converted into shares of common stock at the conversion price then in effect. Upon a change of control, holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to cause the Company to redeem their Preferred Stock at a price per share equal to the greater of (i) the accrued value of the Preferred Stock, which amount would be multiplied by 150% in the event of a change in control occurring on or prior to the third anniversary of the issue date of the Series A Preferred Stock plus any accrued but unpaid dividends and (ii) the value that would be received if the share of Preferred Stock were converted into common stock immediately prior to the change of control.

Certain certificates of amendment related to the Company’s Preferred Stock (the “Prior Amendment”) did not become effective because they were filed without proper authorization of the stockholders of the Company. The holders of the Series A Preferred

Stock agreed to release all claims against the Company relating to the ineffectiveness of the Prior Amendments, including the fact that the conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock remains at $4.25. As payment for the release of claims, the Company issued $5.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 11.0% Notes to the holders of the Preferred Stock. The Company recorded this payment to other income (expense), net in August 2015.

At any time after the third anniversary of the issue date of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company may redeem the Preferred Stock, in whole but not in part, at a price per share generally equal to 150% of the accrued value per share plus accrued but unpaid dividends. After the third anniversary of the issue date of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company may force conversion of the Preferred Stock into common stock if the common stock’s thirty-day volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) exceeds 150% of the then-applicable conversion price and the common stock’s daily VWAP exceeds 150% of the then-applicable conversion price for at least twenty trading days out of the thirty trading day period used to calculate the thirty-day VWAP.

In the three months ended March 31, 2015, 1,000 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock were converted into 235,526 shares of common stock at the option of the holder. There were no conversions of Preferred Stock in the three months ended March 31, 2016.

19. Backlog

Schuff’s backlog was $415.2 million ($315.1 million under contracts or purchase orders and $100.1 million under letters of intent) at March 31, 2016. Schuff’s backlog increases as contract commitments, letters of intent, notices to proceed and purchase

(Unaudited)

orders are obtained, decreases as revenues are recognized and increases or decreases to reflect modifications in the work to be performed under the contracts, notices to proceed, letters of intent or purchase orders. Schuff’s backlog can be significantly affected by the receipt, or loss, of individual contracts. Approximately $200.5 million, representing 48.3% of Schuff’s backlog at March 31, 2016, was attributable to five contracts, letters of intent, notices to proceed or purchase orders. If one or more of these large contracts or other commitments are terminated or their scope reduced, Schuff’s backlog could decrease substantially.

20. Basic and Diluted Loss Per Common Share

Basic income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per common share adjusts basic income per common share for the effects of potentially dilutive common share equivalents.

The Company had no dilutive common share equivalents during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 due to the results of operations being a loss from continuing operations, net of tax. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company had Preferred Stock, as well as outstanding stock options and unvested RSUs granted under the Prior Plan and Omnibus Plan that were potentially dilutive but were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per common share due to their antidilutive effect. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company had outstanding stock options and unvested RSUs granted under the Prior Plan as well as certain warrants that were potentially dilutive but were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per common share due to their antidilutive effect.

A calculation of basic income (loss) per common share to diluted income (loss) per common share is set forth below (in thousands, except per share amounts):

21. Subsequent Events

As part of the Compensation Committee’s on-going review of the Company’s executive compensation arrangements, the Compensation Committee requested, and Philip Falcone, the Company’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, agreed to waive and cancel the anti-dilution protection provision contained in his stock option awards granted pursuant to the employment agreement between the Company and Mr. Falcone dated May 21, 2014 (the “Employment Agreement”) for all future awards. The anti-dilution protection provision that was canceled previously provided for the issuance of additional stock options to Mr. Falcone if the Company issued any common stock, as well as warrants, options or convertible securities entitling the holder of such instruments

HC2 HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of the Company’s capital stock if certain conditions were met. The Compensation Committee’s request was based, in part, on feedback the Company received from significant stakeholders and is intended to better align Mr. Falcone’s compensation, performance and interests with those of the Company’s shareholders. In consideration for eliminating the anti-dilution protection provisions, Mr. Falcone will receive an award after market on April 14, 2016, consisting solely of 1,500,000 premium stock options (the “2016 Premium Option") that will be issued under the Company’s 2014 Omnibus Equity Award Plan.

The 2016 Premium Option will vest in three equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries following the grant date (with each tranche vesting one-third on each such date), and the applicable per share exercise prices will be as follows: (a) a per share exercise price of $7.50 with respect to an option to acquire 500,000 shares, which is an 111.0% premium to our closing stock price on April 14, 2016; (b) a per share exercise price of $10.50 with respect to an option to acquire 500,000 shares, which is an 196.0% premium to our closing stock price on April 14, 2016; and (c) a per share exercise price of $13.50 with respect to an option to acquire 500,000 shares, which is an 280.0% premium to our closing stock price on April 14, 2016. Under these awards, Mr. Falcone will not realize any value from the applicable portion of the 2016 Premium Option unless there has been at least an 111.0%, 196.0%, and 280.0% increase in our stock price, respectively, from our closing stock price on April 14, 2016. The award agreement evidencing the 2016 Premium Option does not provide for the automatic vesting of the 2016 Premium Option upon a change in control.

On April 12, DMi issued 36,054 shares of common stock to two unrelated parties for a total proceeds of $3.5 million, which reduced the Company’s ownership to approximately 58.0%. Contemporaneously, one unrelated party received a sixty days option to purchase an additional 5,150 shares of common stock for a total consideration of $0.5 million, which would dilute the Company’s ownership to approximately 56.0%.

On April 18, the Company purchased an additional 553,875 shares of preferred stock of MediBeacon for a total consideration of $9.2 million, increasing its voting and economic ownership to approximately 28.0%. Contemporaneously, the Company received a warrant to purchase 263,756 shares of MediBeacon's preferred stock which, if fully exercised, would increase the Company's ownership to approximately 35.0%.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis Of Financial Condition and Results Of Operations

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with the information in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included herein, as well as our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should review the “Risk Factors” section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 as well as the section below entitled “—Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.

Unless the context otherwise requires, in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, “HC2” means HC2 Holdings, Inc. and the “Company,” “we” and “our” mean HC2 together with its subsidiaries. “U.S. GAAP” means accounting principles accepted in the United States of America.

Our Business

We are a diversified holding company with principal operations conducted through seven operating platforms or reportable segments: Manufacturing (Schuff Steel), Marine Services (Global Marine), Insurance (Continental Insurance), Utilities (American Natural Gas), Telecommunications (ICS), and Life Sciences (Pansend Holdings), and an Other segment (Corporate Holdings platform) that includes non-controlling assets that do not meet the separately reportable segment thresholds. We offer in-house design-assist/design-build pre-construction engineering services through Schuff International; maintenance and repairs of submarine communications cable for the telecommunications, off-shore power, oil & gas industries and deep sea research industries through Global Marine Systems Limited; operate run-off long-term care insurance through Continental Insurance, Inc.; design, build, maintain and operate compressed natural gas fueling stations for commercial transportation through American Natural Gas; provide telecommunication services to customers around the globe through PTGi International Carrier Services, Inc.; focus on the development of innovative technologies and products in the healthcare industry through Pansend Life Sciences, LLC; and

acquire “toe-hold” positions in both public and private companies within the Corporate Holdings segment that we believe may ultimately fit within our entity as an operating platform.

We continually monitor and evaluate a variety of key indicators of our underlying platform companies in order to assess their performance with the goal of maximizing shareholder value. These indicators include but are not limited to: revenue, cost of revenue, operating profit, earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), Insurance AOI, and free cash flow. We work closely with our operating subsidiaries' executive management teams on their operations and assist them in the evaluation and diligence of asset acquisitions, dispositions and any financing needs at the subsidiary level.

As part of our strategy to grow a diversified holding company we continually monitor acquisition opportunities and, in December 2015, we successfully capitalized on our structure and continued adding to our platform of companies with the acquisition of Continental Insurance. The ongoing possibility of acquisitions and new business alternatives, while strategic, may result in acquiring assets unrelated to our current or historical operations. In addition, we face significant competition for acquisition opportunities, including from numerous companies with a business plan similar to ours. As part of any acquisition strategy, we may raise capital in the form of debt or equity securities or a combination thereof to the extent permitted to do so under our and our subsidiaries debt facilities and instruments and outstanding preferred stock. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

We believe our platform and strategy will enable us to deliver strong financial results while positioning our company for long-term growth. Furthermore, the unique alignment of our executive compensation program with our objective of increasing shareholder value is paramount to executing on our vision of long-term growth while maintaining our disciplined approach.

We are organized into seven reportable segments as follows:

Seasonality

Other than as described below our businesses are not materially affected by seasonality.

Marine Services

In any particular year, net revenue within our Marine Services segment can fluctuate depending on the season. Within the maintenance business (and also for any long term charter arrangements) revenues are relatively stable as the core driver is the annual contractual obligation. However, this is not the case in the installation business where revenues show a degree of seasonality. Revenues in the installation business are driven by the customers’ need for new cable installations. Generally, weather downtime, and hence additional costs, is a significant factor in customers determining their installation schedules and most installations are therefore scheduled for the warmer months. As such installation revenues are generally lower towards the end of the fourth quarter and throughout the first quarter, as most business is concentrated in the northern hemisphere.

Telecommunications

Net revenue within our Telecommunications segments is typically higher in the fourth quarter due to seasonal calling fluctuations. Revenue is generally higher during this period due to global religious holidays and general holiday season calling as consumers make more calls during this time of year. Revenue from our usage based services such as long distance, generally drops in the first quarter compared to the fourth quarter as consumers tend to make fewer calls during the period, which impacts revenue and margin.

Recent Developments

Acquisition of CWind Limited by GMSL

On February 3, 2016, GMSL announced the acquisition of a majority interest in CWind Limited ("CWind"), a leading offshore renewables specialist. The purchase of CWind demonstrates Global Marine’s continued commitment to the offshore renewable sector and adds a diverse range of construction and operating and maintenance ("O&M") services to its current capabilities. CWind operates a 16 vessel fleet that supports leading wind farm owners and operators, including in transportation and maintenance of the offshore wind farm.

Net loss attributable to common stock and participating preferred stockholders	$	(31,531	)	$	(6,325	)	$	(25,206	)

Net revenue: Net revenue increased by $129.9 million, or 64.4% from $201.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 to $331.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. This increase was due primarily to the growth in the Telecommunications segment along with the added contribution from our Insurance segments' acquisition of Continental in December 2015.

Operating profit (loss): Operating profit decreased $19.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 to a loss of $19.7 million from a profit of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease in operating profit was due primarily to a loss in our Insurance segment of $9.4 million, a $7.5 million decrease in profit in our Marine Services segment, the full year impact of our Other segment which resulted in an increase in loss of $1.5 million and an increase in loss of $2.9 million at our non-operating Corporate segment; partially offset by increased contributions from our Manufacturing segment of $2.0 million.

Interest expense: Interest expense increased by $1.6 million, or 18.7%, to $10.3 million from $8.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The increase in interest expense was due primarily to the issuance of an additional $50 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 11% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 (“11% Notes”) in March 2015.

Other income (expense), net: Other expense, net decreased by $0.3 million to an income of $0.1 million from an expense of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The increase in income was due to interest income and net gains related to our long-term investments, partially offset by a charge of $2.7 million related to the impairment of three of our invested assets.

Income (loss) from equity investees: Loss from equity investees increased by $1.2 million, or 46.4%, to $3.9 million from $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The increase in the loss was primarily due to our investment in Novatel Wireless, Inc.

Income tax benefit (expense): Income tax benefit decreased by $3.5 million to an income tax benefit of $2.5 million from an income tax benefit of $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The benefit recorded in both periods relate to losses generated for which we expect to obtain benefits in the future. The tax benefit associated with losses generated by certain businesses that do not qualify to be included in the U.S. consolidated income tax return may be reduced by a valuation allowance if the facts indicate it is more-likely-than-not that the losses will not be utilized prior to expiration. During the first quarter of 2016, a valuation allowance was recorded against the deferred tax assets of the Insurance Companies. The Insurance Companies are currently ineligible to be included in the HC2 Holdings, Inc. U.S. consolidated income tax return.

Preferred stock dividends and accretion: Preferred stock dividends and accretion remained relatively flat at $1.1 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

Net revenue: Net revenue from our Marine Services segment for the three months ended March 31, 2016 increased $5.3 million, or 19.6%, to $32.3 million from $27.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase can be primarily attributable to the inclusion of CWind since the acquisition date and an increase in telecom maintenance contract revenues.

Cost of revenue: Cost of revenue from our Marine Services segment for the three months ended March 31, 2016 increased $10.6 million, or 63.5%, to $27.2 million from $16.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase was due primarily to $5.5 million of costs recognized in the quarter for a loss on a telecom installation project off the northeastern coast of Russia which resulted from administrative delays by the customer and adverse weather conditions arriving earlier in the season. The remainder of the increase is in line with the increased revenue and is attributable to the acquisition of CWind.

Selling, general and administrative expenses: Selling, general and administrative expenses from our Marine Services segment for the three months ended March 31, 2016 increased $1.7 million, or 60.9%, to $4.5 million from $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

The increase is due primarily to growth in wholesale traffic volumes due to continued expansion in the scale and number of customer relationships. The changing customer base has included a shift in sales focus towards larger telecom carriers with higher volume opportunity and lower credit risk. As a result, the significant increase in volumes and revenue have been accompanied by a reduction in collectability risk and costs to collect, but at a lower average margin contribution than in prior periods.

Cost of revenue: Cost of revenue from our Telecommunications segment for the three months ended March 31, 2016 increased $102.4 million, to $147.7 million from $45.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase is directly correlated to the growth in wholesale traffic volumes.

Selling, general and administrative expenses: Selling, general and administrative expenses from our Telecommunications segment for the three months ended March 31, 2016 increased $0.4 million, or 25.5%, to $1.9 million from $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase was due primarily to an increase in salaries and benefits due to an increased headcount and in travel and entertainment which helped to contribute to the increase in revenue.

Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization from our Telecommunications segment for each of three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was essentially unchanged.

Other operating (income) expense: Other operating (income) expense from our Telecommunications segment for each of the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was essentially unchanged.

Loss from operations	$	(72	)	$	(216	)	$	144

Net revenue: Net revenue from our Utilities segment for each of the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was essentially unchanged. The increase in own, operate and maintain revenue from the increase in natural gas sales was offset by a decrease in design and build project revenue period over period.

Cost of revenue: Cost of revenue from our Utilities segment for the three months ended March 31, 2016 decreased $0.2 million, to $0.5 million from $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Explanation of Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the results of operations presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, management uses, and this quarterly report contains or references, certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Operating Income - Insurance.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement recognized under U.S. GAAP. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is meaningful to gaining an understanding of our results as it is frequently used by the financial community to provide insight into an organization’s operating trends and facilitates comparisons between peer companies, since interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and the other items listed in the definition of Adjusted EBITDA below can differ greatly between organizations as a result of differing capital structures and tax strategies. Adjusted EBITDA can also be a useful measure of a company’s ability to service debt. However, while management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful as supplemental information, such adjusted results are not intended to replace our U.S. GAAP financial results.

The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by us, consists of Net income (loss) as adjusted for asset impairment expense; gain (loss) on sale or disposal of assets; lease termination costs; interest expense; loss on early extinguishment or restructuring of debt; other income (expense), net; foreign currency transaction gain (loss); income tax (benefit) expense; gain (loss) from discontinued operations; noncontrolling interest; share-based compensation expense; acquisition and nonrecurring costs, other costs and depreciation and amortization.

Our Adjusted EBITDA was $0.3 million and $5.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The drivers in the decline in Adjusted EBITDA were largely the result of growth in the Manufacturing segment due largely to margin expansion and growth in scale, customer relationships in the Telecommunications segment, and an increase in volume of Gasoline Gallon Equivalents (GGE’s) delivered in the Utilities segment, offset by $5.5 million of costs recognized in the quarter for a loss on a telecom installation project off the northeastern coast of Russia, which resulted from administrative delays by the customer and adverse weather conditions arriving earlier in the season in our Marine Services segment, loss from early stage investments in our Life Sciences and Other segments, and an increase in Non-operating Corporate.

Manufacturing: Adjusted EBITDA from our Manufacturing segment for the three months ended March 31, 2016 increased $2.6 million, or 28.7%, to $11.5 million from $9.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase was due primarily to the increase in operating income generated during the year.

Marine Services: Adjusted EBITDA from our Marine Services segment for the three months ended March 31, 2016 decreased $4.6 million, or 90.5%, to $0.5 million from $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease was due primarily to $5.5 million of costs recognized in the quarter for a loss on a telecom installation project off the northeastern coast of Russia, which resulted from administrative delays by the customer and adverse weather conditions arriving earlier in the season.

Telecommunications: Adjusted EBITDA from our Telecommunications segment for the three months ended March 31, 2016 increased to $0.3 million from $(0.1) million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase was due primarily to increased profit contribution from growth in wholesale traffic volumes resulting from continued expansion in the scale and number of customer relationships.

Utilities: Adjusted EBITDA from our Utilities segment for the three months ended March 31, 2016 increased $0.2 million, or 118.0%, to $0.4 million from $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 due to the mix in revenue in favor of own, operate and maintain from design and build revenues.

Life Sciences: Adjusted EBITDA from our Life Sciences segment for the three months ended March 31, 2016 decreased $1.2 million, or 92.5%, to $(2.6) million from $(1.4) million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 due to increased costs at early stage subsidiaries.

Other: Adjusted EBITDA from the Other segment for the three months ended March 31, 2016 decreased $1.9 million, or 92.2%, to $(4.0) million from $(2.1) million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase in the loss was due primarily to the ramp up in DMi and our share of losses on equity method investments being greater from our investment in Novatel.

Non-operating Corporate: Adjusted EBITDA from our Non-operating Corporate segment for the three months ended March 31, 2016 increased $1.1 million , or 16.6%, to $(5.7) million from $(4.8) million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase in the loss was due primarily to an increase in headcount, overhead and consulting fees to support the growth in the business in 2015.

Adjusted Operating Income — Insurance

Adjusted Operating Income for the Insurance segment (“Insurance AOI”) is a non-US GAAP financial measure frequently used throughout the insurance industry and is an economic measure the Insurance segment uses to evaluate its financial performance. Management believes that Insurance AOI measures provide investors with meaningful information for gaining an understanding of certain results and provides insight into an organization’s operating trends and facilitates comparisons between peer companies. However, Insurance AOI has certain limitations, including that we may not calculate it the same as other companies in our industry and therefore should be read together with the Company's results calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Management defines Insurance AOI as Net income (loss) for the Insurance segment adjusted to exclude the impact of net investment gains (losses), including other-than-temporary impairment losses recognized in operations; other income and expense/intercompany elimination and acquisition related and non-recurring costs. Management believes that Insurance AOI provides a meaningful financial metric that helps investors understand certain results and profitability. While these adjustments are an integral part of the overall performance of the Insurance segment, market conditions impacting these items can overshadow the underlying performance of the business. Accordingly, we believe using a measure which excludes their impact is effective in analyzing the trends of our operations.

The table below shows the adjustments made to the reported net (loss) income of the Insurance segment to calculate Insurance AOI (in millions):



	Three Months Ended March 31, 2016
Net income (loss) - Insurance Segment	$	(12,278	)
Effect of investment (gains) losses, net of offsets	4,875
Other income and expense / intercompany elimination	3,804
Insurance AOI	$	(3,599	)

Constant Currency

When we refer to operating results on a constant currency basis, this means operating results without the impact of the currency exchange rate fluctuations. We calculate constant currency results using the prior year's currency exchange rate for both periods presented. We believe the disclosure of operating results on a constant currency basis permits investors to better understand our underlying performance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Short- and Long-Term Liquidity Considerations and Risks

We are a holding company and our liquidity needs are primarily for interest payments on our 11.0% Notes and dividend payments on our Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), Series A-1 Convertible Participating Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Series A-1 Preferred Stock”) and Series A-2 Convertible Participating Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Series A-2 Preferred Stock” and, together with the Series A Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”). We also have liquidity needs related to professional fees (including advisory services, legal and accounting fees), salaries and benefits, office rent, insurance costs and certain support services.

Our subsidiaries' principal liquidity requirements arise from cash used in operating activities and capital expenditures, including purchases of network equipment, including switches, related transmission equipment and capacity, fueling station and service infrastructure, liabilities associated with insurance products, steel manufacturing equipment and subsea cable equipment, development of back-office systems, operating costs and expenses, and income taxes.

As of March 31, 2016, we had $137.7 million of cash and cash equivalents on a consolidated basis compared to $158.6 million as of December 31, 2015. As of March 31, 2016, HC2 had corporate cash and cash equivalents were $40.9 million compared to $41.1 million at December 31, 2015.

As of March 31, 2016, we had $394.2 million of indebtedness compared to $371.9 million as of December 31, 2015, and as of March 31, 2016, we had $52.7 million in liquidation value of outstanding Preferred Stock compared to $52.6 million as of December 31, 2015. We are required to make semi-annual interest payments on our outstanding 11.0% Notes on June 1^st and December 1^st of each year. We are required to make dividend payments on our outstanding Preferred Stock on January 15^th, April 15^th, July 15^th, and October 15^th of each year.

We have financed our growth and operations to date, and expect to finance our future growth and operations, through public offerings and private placements of debt and equity securities, credit facilities, vendor financing, capital lease financing and other financing arrangements, as well as cash generated from the operations of our subsidiaries.

We believe that we will be able to continue to meet our liquidity requirements and fund our fixed obligations (such as operating leases) and other cash needs for our operations for at least the next twelve months through a combination of distributions from our subsidiaries and from raising of additional equity or debt capital, refinancing of certain of our indebtedness or Preferred Stock, other financing arrangements and/or the sale of assets. The ability of the Company’s subsidiaries to make distributions to HC2 is is subject to numerous factors, including restrictions contained in each subsidiary’s financing agreements, availability of sufficient funds in each subsidiary and the approval of such payment by each subsidiary’s board of directors, which must consider various factors, including general economic and business conditions, tax considerations, strategic plans, financial results and condition, expansion plans, any contractual, legal or regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends, and such other factors each subsidiary’s board of directors considers relevant. Although the Company believes that it will be able to raise additional equity capital, refinance indebtedness or Preferred Stock, enter into other financing arrangement or engage in asset sales sufficient to fund any cash needs that we are not able to satisfy with the funds expected to be provided by our subsidiaries, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so on terms satisfactory to the Company if at all.

CIG Capital Contributions

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of CIG in December 2015, the Company contributed approximately $33.0 million of additional assets to the acquired companies , as required by the purchase agreement. The contribution was made for the purpose of satisfying the reserve release amount of $13.0 million and offsetting the impact on the acquired companies’ statutory

capital and surplus of the election to be made by the Company and the seller of the acquired companies pursuant to Section 338(h)(10) of the Internal Revenue Code in connection with the transaction as soon as possible after closing.

In connection with the consummation of the acquisition, the Company agreed with the Ohio Department of Insurance ("ODOI") that, for five years following the closing of the transaction, it will contribute to CGI cash or marketable securities acceptable to the ODOI to the extent required for CGI’s total adjusted capital to be not less than 400.0% of CGI’s authorized control level risk-based capital (each as defined under Ohio law and reported in CGI’s statutory statements filed with the ODOI). Similarly, the Company has agreed with the Texas Department of Insurance ("TDOI") that, for five years following the closing of the transaction, it will contribute to UTA cash or other admitted assets acceptable to the TDOI to the extent required for UTA’s total adjusted capital to be not less than 400.0% of UTA’s authorized control level risk-based capital (each as defined under Texas law and reported in UTA’s statutory statements filed with the TDOI). As of year-end, after taking into account the transactions described above, CGI’s total adjusted capital was approximately 455.0% of CGI’s authorized control level risk-based capital and UTA’s total adjusted capital was approximately 514.0% of UTA’s authorized control level risk-based capital.

Also in connection with the consummation of the acquisition, each of CGI and UTA entered into a capital maintenance agreement (each, a “Capital Maintenance Agreement”, and collectively, the “Capital Maintenance Agreements”) with Great American Financial Resources, Inc. (“Great American”). Under each Capital Maintenance Agreement, if the applicable acquired company’s total adjusted capital reported in its annual statutory statements is less than 400% of its authorized control level risk-based capital, Great American has agreed to pay cash or assets to the applicable acquired company as required to eliminate such shortfall (after giving effect to any capital contributions made by the Company or its affiliates since the date of the relevant annual statutory statement). Great American’s obligation to make such payments is capped at $25.0 million under the Capital Maintenance Agreement with UTA and $10.0 million under the Capital Maintenance Agreement with CGI (each, a “Cap”). Each of the Capital Maintenance Agreements will remain in effect from January 1, 2016 to January 1, 2021 or until payments by Great American thereunder equal the Cap. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company is required to indemnify Great American for the amount of any payments made by Great American under the Capital Maintenance Agreements.

Restrictive Covenants

The indenture governing our 11.0% Notes contains certain covenants limiting, among other things, the ability of the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company to incur additional indebtedness; create liens; engage in sale-leaseback transactions; pay dividends or make distributions in respect of capital stock; make certain restricted payments; sell assets; engage in transactions with affiliates; or consolidate or merge with, or sell substantially all of its assets to, another person. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications.

The indenture also includes two maintenance covenants: a maintenance of liquidity covenant and a maintenance of collateral coverage covenant. The maintenance of liquidity covenant currently provides that the Company will not permit the aggregate amount of all unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of the Company and the Guarantors to be less than the Company’s obligations to pay interest on the 11.0% Notes and all other debt of the Company and the Guarantors, plus mandatory cash dividends on the Company’s preferred stock, for the next six months. Beginning on November 20, 2015, if at the end of the quarter the Company did not have a Collateral Coverage Ratio (as defined in the indenture) of at least 2:1, the maintenance of liquidity covenant requires that the Company not permit the aggregate amount of all unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of the Company and the Guarantors to be less than the Company’s obligations to pay interest on the 11.0% Notes and all other debt of the Company and the Guarantors, plus mandatory cash dividends on the Company’s preferred stock, for the next 12 months. The collateral coverage covenant provides that the Company’s Collateral Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Indenture) calculated on a pro forma basis as of the last day of each fiscal quarter of Company may not be less than 1.25:1. As of March 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with these covenants in the Indenture.

The instruments governing the Company’s Preferred Stock also limit the Company’s and its subsidiaries ability to take certain actions, including, among other things, to incur additional indebtedness; issue additional preferred stock; engage in transactions with affiliates; and make certain restricted payments. These limitations are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications.

Schuff

Cash Flows

Cash flow from operating activities is the principal source of cash used to fund Schuff’s operating expenses, interest payments on debt, and capital expenditures. Its short-term cash needs are primarily for working capital to support operations including receivables, inventories, and other costs incurred in performing its contracts. Schuff attempts to structure the payment arrangements under its contracts to match costs incurred under the project. To the extent it is able to bill in advance of costs incurred, Schuff generates working capital through billings in excess of costs and recognized earnings on uncompleted contracts. To the extent it is not able to bill in advance of costs, Schuff relies on its credit facilities to meet its working capital needs. Schuff believes that its existing borrowing availability together with cash from operations will be adequate to meet all funding requirements for its operating expenses, interest payments on debt and capital expenditures for the foreseeable future.

Schuff is required to make monthly interest payments on all of its debt. Based upon the March 31, 2016 debt balance of $15.4 million, Schuff anticipates that its monthly interest payments will be approximately $61,000 each.

Schuff estimates that its capital expenditures for 2016 will be approximately $6.5 million. It believes that its available funds, cash generated by operating activities and funds available under its bank credit facilities will be sufficient to fund these capital expenditures and its working capital needs. However, Schuff may expand its operations through future acquisitions and may require additional equity or debt financing.

GMSL

Market Environment

The exchange rates between the US dollar, the Singapore dollar and the British pound have fluctuated in recent periods and may fluctuate substantially in the future. Any material appreciation or depreciation of these currencies against each other may have a negative impact on GMSL's results of operations and financial condition.

CIG

Market environment

As of March 31, 2016, CIG was in a position to hold any investment security showing an unrealized loss until recovery, provided it remains comfortable with the credit of the issuer. CIG does not rely on short-term funding or commercial paper and to date it has experienced no liquidity pressure, nor does it anticipate such pressure in the foreseeable future. CIG projects its reserves to be sufficient and believes its current capital base is adequate to support its business.

Dividend Limitations

CIG is subject to Texas and Ohio statutory provisions that restrict the payment of dividends. The dividend limitations on CIG are based on statutory financial results and regulatory approval. Statutory accounting practices differ in certain respects from accounting principles used in financial statements prepared in conformity with GAAP. Significant differences include the treatment of deferred income taxes, required investment reserves, reserve calculation assumptions and surplus notes.

The ability of CIG’s subsidiaries to pay dividends and to make such other payments is limited by applicable laws and regulations of the states in which its subsidiaries are domiciled, which subject its subsidiaries to significant regulatory restrictions. These laws and regulations require, among other things, CIG’s insurance subsidiaries to maintain minimum solvency requirements and limit the amount of dividends these subsidiaries can pay. Along with solvency regulations, the primary driver in determining the amount of capital used for dividends is the level of capital needed to maintain desired financial strength in the form of its subsidiaries Risk-Based Capital (“RBC”) ratio. CIG monitors its insurance subsidiaries’ compliance with the RBC requirements specified by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (the “NAIC”). As of March 31, 2016, each of CIG’s insurance subsidiaries has exceeded the minimum RBC requirements. CIG’s insurance subsidiaries paid no dividends to CIG in fiscal 2015 and have further each agreed with its state regulator to not pay dividends for three years following the completion of their acquisition on December 24, 2015.

Cash flows

CIG’s principal cash inflows relate to its premiums, annuity deposits and insurance, investment product fees and other income. CIG’s principal cash inflows from its invested assets result from investment income and the maturity and sales of invested assets. The primary liquidity concern with respect to these cash inflows relates to the risk of default by debtors and interest rate volatility. Additional sources of liquidity to meet unexpected cash outflows in excess of operating cash inflows and current cash and equivalents on hand include selling short-term investments or fixed maturity securities.

CIG's principal cash outflows relate to the payment of claims liabilities, interest credited and operating expenses. CIG’s management believes its current sources of liquidity are adequate to meet its cash requirements for the next 12 months.

Asset Liability Management

CIG conducts its operations through operating subsidiaries. CIG's principal sources of cash flow from operating activities are insurance premiums and fees and investment income, where cash flows from investing activities are a result of maturities and sales of invested assets. In addition, CIG may issue debt or equity in the future to grow its business and/or pursue acquisition activities.

The liquidity requirements of CIG’s regulated insurance subsidiaries principally relate to the liabilities associated with its insurance products, operating costs and expenses and income taxes. Liabilities arising from insurance products include the payment of benefits, as well as cash payments in connection with policy surrenders and withdrawals. CIG’s insurance subsidiaries have used cash flows from operations and investment activities to fund their liquidity requirements.

CIG’s insurance subsidiaries maintain investment strategies intended to provide adequate funds to pay benefits without forced sales of investments. Products having liabilities with longer durations, such as long-term care insurance, are matched with investments such as long-term fixed maturity securities. Shorter-term liabilities are matched with fixed maturity securities that have short- and medium-term fixed maturities. The types of assets in which CIG may invest are influenced by state laws, which prescribe qualified investment assets applicable to insurance companies. Within the parameters of these laws, CIG invests in assets giving consideration to four primary investment objectives: (i) maintain robust absolute returns; (ii) provide reliable yield and investment income; (iii) preserve capital and (iv) provide liquidity to meet policyholder and other corporate obligations. The Insurance segment’s investment portfolio is designed to contribute stable earnings and balance risk across diverse asset classes and is primarily invested in high quality fixed income securities. In addition, at any given time, CIG’s insurance subsidiaries could hold cash, highly liquid, high-quality short-term investment securities and other liquid investment grade fixed maturity securities to fund anticipated operating expenses, surrenders and withdrawals.

Investments

As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the carrying value of CIG’s investment portfolio was approximately $1.4 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively, and was divided among the following asset classes (in thousands):

Fixed Maturity Securities

Insurance statutes regulate the type of investments that CIG is permitted to make and limit the amount of funds that may be used for any one type of investment. In light of these statutes and regulations, and CIG's business and investment strategy, CIG generally seeks to invest in (i) securities rated investment grade by established nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (each, a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”)), (ii) U.S. Government and government-sponsored agency securities, or (iii) securities of comparable investment quality, if not rated.

As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, CIG's fixed maturity portfolio was approximately $1.3 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively. The following table summarizes the credit quality, by NRSRO rating, of CIG's fixed income portfolio (in thousands):

Foreign Currency

Foreign currency translation can impact our financial results. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, approximately 22.0% and 27.1%, respectively, of our net revenue from continuing operations was derived from sales and operations outside the U.S. The reporting currency for our consolidated financial statements is the United States dollar (“USD”). The local currency of each country is the functional currency for each of our respective entities operating in that country. In the future, we expect to continue to derive a portion of our net revenue and incur a portion of our operating costs from outside the U.S., and therefore changes in exchange rates may continue to have a significant, and potentially adverse, effect on our results of operations. Our risk of loss regarding foreign currency exchange rate risk is caused primarily by fluctuations in the USD/British pound sterling (“GBP”) exchange rate. Due to a percentage of our revenue derived outside of the U.S., changes in the USD relative to the GBP could have an adverse impact on our future results of operations. We have agreements with certain subsidiaries for repayment of a portion of the investments and advances made to these subsidiaries. As we anticipate repayment in the foreseeable future, we recognize the unrealized gains and losses in foreign currency transaction gain (loss) on the consolidated statements of operations. The exposure of our income from operations to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is reduced in part because a majority of the costs that we incur in connection with our foreign operations are also denominated in local currencies.

We are exposed to financial statement gains and losses as a result of translating the operating results and financial position of our international subsidiaries. We translate the local currency statements of operations of our foreign subsidiaries into USD using the average exchange rate during the reporting period. Changes in foreign exchange rates affect the reported profits and losses and cash flows of our international subsidiaries and may distort comparisons from year to year. By way of example, when the USD strengthens compared to the GBP, there could be a negative or positive effect on the reported results for our Telecommunications segment, depending upon whether such businesses are operating profitably or at a loss. It takes more profits in GBP to generate the same amount of profits in USD and a greater loss in GBP to generate the same amount of loss in USD, and vice versa. For instance, when the USD weakens against the GBP, there is a positive effect on reported profits and a negative effect on reported losses.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015, the USD was stronger on average as compared to the GBP. The following tables demonstrate the impact of currency fluctuations on our net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015:

Net Revenue by Location—in USD (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2016	2015	Variance	Variance %
United Kingdom (in USD)	71,730	23,993	47,737	199.0	%
United Kingdom (in GBP)	50,026	15,873	34,153	215.2	%

Critical Accounting Policies

There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies since December 31, 2015.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Schuff

Schuff’s off-balance sheet arrangements at March 31, 2016 included letters of credit of $3.9 million under a credit and security agreement with Wells Fargo Credit, Inc. and performance bonds of $80.6 million.

Schuff’s contract arrangements with customers sometimes require Schuff to provide performance bonds to partially secure its obligations under its contracts. Bonding requirements typically arise in connection with public works projects and sometimes with respect to certain private contracts. Schuff’s performance bonds are obtained through surety companies and typically cover the entire project price.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market Risk Factors

Market risk is the risk of the loss of fair value resulting from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. Market risk is directly influenced by the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which the related underlying financial instruments are traded. HC2 is exposed to market risk with respect to its investments and foreign currency exchange rates. Through Schuff, we have market risk exposure from changes in interest rates charged on borrowings and from adverse changes in steel prices. Through GMSL, we have market risk exposure from changes in interest rates charged on borrowings. HC2 or its subsidiaries does not use derivative financial instruments to mitigate a portion of the risk from such exposures.

Equity Price Risk

HC2 is exposed to market risk primarily through changes in fair value of available for sale fixed maturity and equity securities. HC2 follows an investment strategy approved by its board of directors which sets certain restrictions on the amounts of securities it may acquire and its overall investment strategy.

Market prices for fixed maturity and equity securities are subject to fluctuation and consequently the amount realized in the subsequent sale of an investment may significantly differ from the reported market value. Fluctuation in the market price of a security may result from perceived changes in the underlying economic characteristics of the investee, the relative price of alternative investments and general market conditions. Because HC2’s fixed maturity and equity securities are classified as available for-sale, the hypothetical decline would not affect current earnings except to the extent that it reflects other-than-temporary impairments.

One means of assessing exposure to changes in market prices is to estimate the potential changes in market values on the fixed maturity and equity securities resulting from a hypothetical decline in equity market prices. As of March 31, 2016, assuming all other factors are constant, we estimate that a 10.0%, 20.0%, and 30.0%% decline in equity market prices would have an $132.6 million, $265.1 million, and $397.7 million adverse impact on HC2’s portfolio of fixed maturity and equity securities, respectively.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

GMSL and ICS are exposed to market risk from foreign currency price changes which could have a significant, potentially an adverse, impact on gains and losses as a result of translating the operating results and financial position of our international subsidiaries.

We translate the local currency statements of operations of our foreign subsidiaries into USD using the average exchange rate during the reporting period. Changes in foreign exchange rates affect the reported profits and losses and cash flows of our international subsidiaries and may distort comparisons from year to year. For example, when the USD strengthens compared to the GBP, there could be a negative or positive effect on the reported results for our Telecommunications segment, depending upon whether such businesses are operating profitably or at a loss. It takes more profits in GBP to generate the same amount of profits in USD and a greater loss in GBP to generate the same amount of loss in USD, and vice versa. For instance, when the USD weakens against the GBP, there is a positive effect on reported profits and a negative effect on reported losses.

Interest Rate Risk

GMSL and Schuff are exposed to the market risk from changes in interest rate risk through its notes payable which bear variable rates based on LIBOR. Changes in LIBOR could result in an increase or decrease in interest expense recorded. A 100, 200, and 300 basis points increase in LIBOR based on the notes payable outstanding as of March 31, 2016 of $40.4 million, would result in an increase in the recorded interest expense of $0.4 million, $0.8 million, and $1.2 million per year.

Commodity Price Risk

Schuff is exposed to the market risk from changes in prices on steel. For the large orders the risk is mitigated by locking the price with the mill at the time an order is awarded with the General Contractor. In the event of the subsequent price increase by the mill, Schuff has the ability to pass the higher costs on to the general contractor. Schuff does not hedge or enter into any forward purchasing arrangements with the mills. The price negotiated at the time of the order is the price paid by the company.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2016, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Disclosure controls and procedures mean our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 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 by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2016, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Such matters are inherently uncertain, and there can be no guarantee that the outcome of any such matter will be decided favorably to the Company or that the resolution of any such matter will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company does not believe that any of such pending claims and legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements. The Company records a liability in its consolidated financial statements for these matters when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company reviews these estimates each accounting period as additional information is known and adjusts the loss provision when appropriate. If a matter is both probable to result in a liability and the amounts of loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company estimates and discloses the possible loss or range of loss to the extent necessary for the consolidated financial statements not to be misleading. If the loss is not probable or cannot be reasonably estimated, a liability is not recorded in its consolidated financial statements.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Telecommunications

PTGi-ICS makes purchases from its suppliers, who may rely on the ability to obtain credit insurance on PTGi-ICS in determining whether or not to extend short-term credit to PTGi-ICS in the form of accounts receivables. To the extent that these suppliers are unable to obtain such insurance they may be unwilling to extend credit. Recently, two significant insurers of credit, Euler and Coface, have determined that they will not insure PTGi-ICS credit and that the existing policies on its credit were cancelled based on their analysis of the financial condition of HC2, including its indebtedness levels and recent net losses and negative cash flow. As a result, we expect PTGi-ICS’s suppliers to find it difficult to obtain credit insurance on PTGi-ICS, which could have a material adverse effect on PTGi-ICS’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

There have been no additional material changes to the risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
