TIPTREE FINANCIAL INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
June 30, 2015
(in thousands, except shares and per share data)


Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Tiptree Financial Inc. (Tiptree and, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, collectively, the Company) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP). The consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, the main operating currency of the Company. The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented herein should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim financial information reflects all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for each of the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending on December 31, 2015.

(1) Organization

Tiptree is a Maryland Corporation that was incorporated on March 19, 2007. Until July 1, 2013, Tiptree operated under the name Care Investment Trust Inc. (which, for the period prior to July 1, 2013, we refer to as Care Inc.). Tiptree is a diversified holding company which conducts its operations through Tiptree Operating Company, LLC (the Operating Company). Tiptree’s primary focus is on five reporting segments: insurance and insurance services, specialty finance, real estate, asset management, and corporate and other.

As of June 30, 2015, Tiptree owns, directly or indirectly, approximately 77% of the assets of Operating Company with the remaining 23% held by non-controlling shareholders through their interests in Tiptree Financial Partners, L.P. (TFP). The limited partners of TFP (other than Tiptree itself) have the ability to exchange TFP partnership units for Tiptree Class A common stock at a rate of 2.798 shares of Class A common stock per partnership unit. The percentage of TFP (and therefore Operating Company) owned by Tiptree may increase in the future to the extent TFP’s limited partners choose to exchange their limited partnership units of TFP for Class A common stock of Tiptree.
Tiptree’s Class A Common Stock is traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “TIPT”.

2015 Transactions

On January 1, 2015, Fortegra exercised an option to purchase the remaining 37.6% ownership interest in ProtectCELL it did not own and now owns 100% of ProtectCELL. Fortegra made an initial payment of $3,000 to exercise the option, with the remaining amount payable upon final determination of the option purchase price.

On January 26, 2015, Tiptree entered into a first amendment to its existing credit agreement with Fortress Credit Corp. (Fortress) (the Amendment), providing for additional term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $25,000 to Tiptree. Tiptree repaid $25,000 of all aggregate outstanding loans under the Fortress credit agreement upon the closing of the sale of Philadelphia Financial Group Inc. (PFG) on June 30, 2015.

On February 9, 2015, affiliates of Care entered into a joint venture to own and operate five seniors housing communities with affiliates of Royal Senior Care Management LLC (Royal). The joint venture acquired the communities for $30,052. Affiliates of Care own an 80% interest in the joint venture, while affiliates of Royal own the remaining 20% interest and provide management services to the communities under management contracts. In connection with the acquisition, Care and Royal secured a $22,500 five year loan (subject to a holdback), which includes 36 months of interest only payments and an additional $2,000 commitment that will be available between February 9, 2016 and February 9, 2019, subject to certain conditions.

On March 30, 2015, affiliates of Care acquired six seniors housing communities for $54,788. The properties are leased to affiliates of Greenfield Holdings, LLC that will operate the properties. In connection with the acquisition, Care secured a $39,500, 10 year loan (subject to a holdback), which includes 18 months of interest only payments. As of June 30, 2015, the loan had an aggregate balance of $38,700.

On June 30, 2015, Tiptree completed the sale of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of PFG Holdings Acquisition Corp. (PHAC) and Philadelphia Financial Group, Inc. (PFG) to PFG Acquisition Corp. (Buyer), an entity affiliated with The Blackstone Group L.P. Tiptree received cash consideration of $142,837 for its equity interests in PHAC and PFG. Under the Purchase Agreement, Buyer will pay to Tiptree an additional amount of approximately $7,341, one-third of which will be made on the first anniversary of the closing and two-thirds of which will be made on the second anniversary of the closing.

2014 Transactions
In December 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of Fortegra Financial Corporation (Fortegra), and paid $211,740 for 100% ownership. Fortegra is consolidated within the Company’s insurance and insurance services segment. The assets acquired were valued at $771,559, which includes $115,000 of intangible assets and $90,213 of goodwill.

In December 2014, affiliates of Care entered into a joint venture to own and operate an additional seniors housing community with affiliates of Heritage.

In October 2014, affiliates of Care entered into a joint venture to own and operate three seniors housing communities with affiliates of Greenfield. Care owns an 80% interest in the joint venture, while affiliates of Greenfield own the remaining 20% interest and provide management services to the communities under a management contract.

The Company completed the acquisition of 67.5% of Luxury Mortgage Corp. (Luxury) in January 2014. Luxury is consolidated within the Company’s financial statements and is reported within Tiptree’s specialty finance segment.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared using the accounting policies set forth in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements reflect the consolidated accounts of Tiptree and (i) its wholly-owned subsidiaries, (ii) subsidiaries in which it has a controlling interest, and (iii) certain other entities known as variable interest entities (VIEs) in which Tiptree, through its subsidiaries, is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. This consolidation, particularly with respect to the VIEs, significantly impacts these consolidated financial statements.

Certain changes to the consolidated balance sheet amounts for December 31, 2014 have been made in accordance with accounting for business combinations, to reflect the retrospective adjustments made during the measurement period, to the preliminary amounts recorded for the estimated fair value of acquired net assets. Please see Note 4—Business Acquisitions, for more information on the measurement period adjustments.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The estimates and assumptions most susceptible to change are the valuation of securities, loans, derivative positions, deferred income taxes and acquired assets and liabilities. Although these and other estimates and assumptions are based on the best available estimates, actual results could differ materially from management’s estimates.

Discontinued Operations
As a result of recent accounting guidance (see ASU 2014-08 below), for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, the results of operations of a business of the Company that have either been disposed of or are classified as held-for-sale are reported in discontinued operations if the disposal of the business represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. For such businesses that have been disposed of prior to December 15, 2014, the Company presents the operations of the business as discontinued operations, and retrospectively reclassifies operating results for all prior periods presented. The Company carries assets and liabilities held for sale at the lower of carrying value on the date the asset is initially classified as held for sale or fair value less costs to sell. At the time of reclassification to held for sale, the Company ceased recording depreciation on assets transferred.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss) and other items of comprehensive income (loss). These other items are generally comprised of unrealized gains and losses on investment securities classified as available-for-sale and unrealized gains and losses on interest rate swaps, net of the related tax effects.

Recent Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2014-04, Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40), Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans Upon Foreclosure. This amendment clarifies when an in substance repossession or foreclosure has occurred. Additionally, this amendment requires disclosure of the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held and the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate that are in the process of foreclosure. The adoption of ASU 2014-04 did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. These amendments change the criteria for reporting discontinued operations while enhancing disclosures in this area. Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations should be presented as discontinued operations. In addition, ASU 2014-08 requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide financial statement users with more information. ASU 2014-08 is effective for the first quarter of 2015 for the Company. The effects of applying the revised guidance will vary based upon the nature and size of future disposal transactions. It is expected that fewer disposal transactions will meet the new criteria to be reported as discontinued operations.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-13, Consolidation (Topic 810): Measuring the Financial Assets and the Financial Liabilities of a Consolidated Collateralized Financing Entity. This pronouncement is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2014-13 provides for a measurement alternative whereby a company can measure both the financial assets and financial liabilities of its CLOs using the more observable of the fair value of the financial assets and the fair value of the financial liabilities. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2014-13 for the year ended December 31, 2014 as it pertains to the CLOs it consolidates and elected to apply it retrospectively to all relevant prior periods. The application of this new guidance resulted in adjustments to certain balances in the previously issued consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations, and consolidated statements of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2014, as well as for the interim periods ending March 31, 2014, June 30, 2014, and September 30, 2014. Please see Note 3—Out of Period Adjustments, Changes in Accounting Principles and Reclassifications, for more information on the ASU 2014-13 adoption.

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Pushdown Accounting—Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 115  (SEC Update). ASU 2015-08 removes references to the SEC’s SAB Topic 5.J on pushdown accounting from ASC 805-50. The Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin, "SAB" 115 had superseded the guidance in SAB Topic 5.J in connection with the FASB’s November 2014 release of ASU 2014-17. The amendments in ASU 2015-08 therefore conform to the FASB’s guidance on pushdown accounting with the SEC’s. The amendments are effective upon issuance (May 12, 2015). The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The amendments in this standard affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods and services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. This standard was originally effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. On July 9, 2015, the FASB decided to delay the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. Reporting entities may choose to adopt the standard as of the original effective date. The deferral results in ASU 2014-09 being effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently reviewing ASU 2014-09 and is assessing the potential effects on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12 Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments when the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. The amendments require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period shall be treated as a performance condition. ASU 2014-12 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the effect upon its financial statements.

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, Income Statement – Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items. The pronouncement eliminates the concept of extraordinary items from GAAP. However, the presentation and disclosure guidance for items that are unusual in nature or occur infrequently will be retained and will be expanded to include items that are both unusual in nature and infrequently occurring. ASU 2015-01 will be effective for the annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect upon its financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which amends the consolidation requirements in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification 810, Consolidation. ASU 2015-02 makes targeted amendments to the current consolidation guidance for VIEs, which could change consolidation conclusions. ASU 2015-02 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2016 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect upon its financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability and consistent with debt discounts. ASU 2015-03 requires retrospective adoption and will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2016 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect upon its 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), which eliminates the requirement for entities to categorize within the fair value hierarchy investments for which fair values are measured at net asset value (NAV) per share (FASB ASC Subtopic 820-10).  ASU 2015-07 also removes the requirement to make certain disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair value using the NAV per share practical expedient, instead limiting disclosures to investments for which the entity has elected the expedient.  ASU 2015-07 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2016 and early adoption is permitted and retrospective adoption is required.  The Company is currently evaluating the effect upon its financial statements.

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-09, Financial Services—Insurance (Topic 944): Disclosures about Short-Duration Contracts, which expands the disclosure requirements for insurance companies that issue short-duration contracts (typically one year or less) to provide users with additional disclosures about the liability for unpaid claims and claim adjustment expenses and to increase the transparency of the significant estimates management makes in measuring those liabilities. In addition, the disclosures will serve to increase insight into an insurance entity’s ability to underwrite and anticipate costs associated with claims as well as provide users of the financial statements a better understanding of the amount and uncertainty of cash flows arising from insurance liabilities, the nature and extent of risks on short-duration contracts and the timing of cash flows arising from insurance liabilities. ASU 2015-09 will be effective for the Company for the annual period beginning after December 15, 2015, and for interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect upon its financial statements.

In June 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-10, Technical Corrections and Improvements, which covers a wide range of Topics in the Codification. The amendments in ASU 2015-10 represent changes to clarify the Codification, correct unintended application of guidance, or make minor improvements to the Codification that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost on most entities. Amendments with transition guidance are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. All other amendments are effective upon the ASU’s issuance (June 12, 2015). The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

(3) Out of Period Adjustments, Changes in Accounting Principles and Reclassifications

Management is presenting these tables to provide a clear understanding of out of period adjustments, the adoption of accounting principles and reclassifications to the Company’s historical results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.

As it relates to the statement of income for the year ended June 30, 2015, the Company has revised its prior year financial statements for an immaterial uncorrected misstatement. The revision, related to the Company’s real estate segment, increased depreciation and amortization expense by $1,704, and decreased net (loss) income attributable to noncontrolling interests - Tiptree Financial Partners, L.P. by $1,016 and decreased net (loss) income attributable to noncontrolling interests - Other by $340. The effects of these adjustments are presented below.

As it relates to the Statements of Cash Flows, the Company has revised its prior year presentation for an immaterial uncorrected misstatement. This revision, related to the presentation of its activities from CLOs, reduced operating activities from CLOs by $43,162 and increased investing activities from CLOs by $43,162.
As mentioned in Note 2, in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2014, the Company elected to early adopt ASU 2014-13, Consolidation (Topic 810): Measuring the Financial Assets and the Financial Liabilities of a Consolidated Collateralized Financing Entity. The effects of these adjustments are presented below.

The sale of PFG is a transaction that qualifies to be treated as discontinued operations. This reclassification is reflected below (see Note 5—Dispositions, Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations).

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These amounts are identified under the reclassification heading in the tables below.

(4) Business Acquisitions

In accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, the Company accounts for acquisitions by applying the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method requires, among other things, that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be measured at fair value as of the closing date of the acquisition.
In December 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of Fortegra, and paid $211,740 for 100% ownership. Fortegra’s products include payment protection products, motor club memberships, service contracts, device and warranty services, as well as administration services to business partners, including insurance companies, retailers, dealers, insurance brokers and agents and financial services companies. The primary reason for the Company’s acquisition of Fortegra is to expand its insurance and insurance services operations.

Fortegra’s results are included in the Company’s insurance and insurance services segment. The Company did not issue shares of its common stock in connection with the acquisition of Fortegra.

Recording of the Preliminary Value of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed

The consideration for the acquisition of Fortegra was funded through the Company’s cash on hand of $91,740 and borrowings of $120,000. The purchase price of Fortegra was largely determined on the basis of management’s expectations of future earnings and cash flows, resulting in the recognition of goodwill. The preliminary purchase price allocation below has been developed based on preliminary estimates of and subsequent adjustments to fair value using the historical financial statements of Fortegra as of the acquisition date. In addition, the allocation of the purchase price to intangible assets is based on preliminary fair value estimates and subject to the completion of management’s final analysis.

Management’s preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the net assets acquired resulted in the recording of intangible assets. Because valuations of acquired assets and liabilities are still in process, information may become available within the measurement period, which may or may not change these valuations and, accordingly, the purchase price allocation is subject to adjustment. The residual amount of the purchase price after preliminary allocation to net assets acquired and identifiable intangibles has been allocated to goodwill. This goodwill is included in the insurance and insurance services segment.

During 2015, the Company received the preliminary valuation study prepared by an external valuation expert for identifiable intangible assets and goodwill for the 2014 acquisition of Fortegra. Accordingly, the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2014, has been retrospectively adjusted to include the effect of the measurement period adjustments as required under ASC Topic 805 for the Fortegra purchase. Adjustments were recorded to the values of intangible assets and goodwill based upon

Page F-15

TIPTREE FINANCIAL INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
June 30, 2015
(in thousands, except shares and per share data)

completion of valuation models in the studies and the refinement of assumptions supporting those models as presented in the valuation studies.

Using this preliminary valuation study, during 2015, the Company decreased the balance of goodwill as of December 4, 2014 by $3,229 and increased other intangibles assets by $500 with corresponding decreases of $6,270 to other liabilities and accrued expenses and $105 to non-controlling interests, as shown in the table below. See Note 12—Identifiable Intangible Assets and Goodwill, for more information on the retrospective measurement period adjustments made in 2015 to Fortegra’s December 4, 2014 balances. The Fortegra acquisition determinations are preliminary, mainly due to ongoing review of the preliminary studies.

The following table presents the preliminary determination of the fair value amounts for the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and goodwill recorded as of the acquisition date of Fortegra including the effects of the retrospective measurement period adjustments recorded in 2015, as discussed above:

Non-Tax Deductible Goodwill Associated with the Fortegra Acquisition
The acquisition of Fortegra is being treated as a stock purchase for tax purposes and any goodwill and identified intangible assets recorded by the Company in connection with the acquisition will not be deductible for tax purposes.

(5) Dispositions, Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

On June 30, 2015, the Company completed the previously announced sale of its PFG subsidiary. The Company received total cash of $142,837 and will receive two future payments over the next two years totaling approximately $7,341. The gain on the sale net of tax, was approximately $16,349, which is classified as a gain on sale from discontinued operations.

(in thousands, except shares and per share data)


Insurance and Insurance Services operations are conducted through Fortegra, a wholly owned subsidiary acquired by the Company on December 4, 2014. Fortegra is a specialized insurance company that offers a wide array of consumer related protection products, including credit-related insurance, mobile device protection, and warranty and service contracts. Fortegra also provides third party administration services to insurance companies, retailers, automobile dealers, insurance brokers and agents and financial services companies.
For insurance and insurance services, the main drivers of revenue are earned premiums, net and service and administrative fees.
Specialty Finance is comprised of Siena Capital Finance LLC (Siena), which commenced operations in April 2013, and Luxury, which was acquired in January 2014. Segment results incorporate the revenues and expenses of these subsidiaries since they commenced operations or were acquired.
Siena’s business consists of structuring asset-based loan facilities across diversified industries which include manufacturing, distribution, wholesale, and service companies. Luxury is a residential mortgage lender that originates loans, primarily FHA, prime jumbo and super jumbo mortgages for sale to institutional investors.
For specialty finance, the main drivers of revenue are gain on the sale of loans held for sale, net, loan fees earned and investment interest.
Real Estate operations include Care LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tiptree which has a geographically diverse portfolio of seniors housing properties including assisted-living, independent-living, memory care and skilled nursing in the U.S.
Revenue for this segment is largely derived from rental revenue and investment interest.
Asset Management operations is primarily comprised of Telos Asset Management’s (TLAM) management of CLOs and Muni Capital Management’s (MCM) management of Non-Profit Preferred Funding Trust I (NPPF I). Both TLAM and MCM are subsidiaries of Tiptree Asset Management Company, LLC (TAMCO), an SEC-registered investment advisor owned by the Company. NPPF I is a structured tax-exempt pass-through entity that holds tax-exempt bonds for the benefit of unaffiliated investors.
The asset management segment generates fee income from the CLOs under management and from its management of NPPF I.
Corporate and other operations include Tiptree Direct Holdings LLC (Tiptree Direct) and Muni Funding Company of America LLC (MFCA). Tiptree Direct holds the Company’s principal investments, which consist of CLO subordinated notes, risk mitigation transactions, warehouse holdings, holdings in the Star Asia Finance, Limited, Star Asia Opportunity, LLC and Star Asia Opportunity II-LLC (Star Asia Entities) and other corporate investments. MFCA is a specialty finance company that owns and manages a portfolio of non-investment grade and non-rated direct and indirect debt obligations of middle-market tax-exempt borrowers.
For corporate and other, the main drivers of revenue include investment interest, net realized and unrealized gains on investments, distributions earned on the CLO subordinated notes and related participations in management fees held by the Company and realized and unrealized gains and losses on such debt and positions.
Intersegment revenues/expenses refers to those items of revenue/expense which are eliminated upon consolidation. Intersegment revenue and expense between the specialty finance segment and corporate and other segment largely relate to interest paid and received on subordinated debt and related participations in management fees. Management made estimates to allocate a proportionate share of MCM’s expenses to the asset management segment relating to its management of NPPF I. The remaining expenses not allocated are related to MFCA and have been allocated to the corporate and other segment.

The Company does not intend to sell the investments that were in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2015, and management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to hold these securities until full recovery of their amortized

cost basis for fixed maturity securities or cost for equity securities. The unrealized losses were attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit-related issues. As of June 30, 2015, based on the Company's review, none of the fixed maturity or equity securities were deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired based on the Company's analysis of the securities and its intent to hold the securities until recovery. There have been no other-than-temporary impairments recorded by the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

The amortized cost and fair values of investments in debt securities, by contractual maturity date, are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Excluded from this table are equity securities since they have no contractual maturity as well as certificates of deposit, which have maturities of less than one year.

(13) Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLOs) and Consolidated Variable Interest Entities

The term CLO generally refers to a special purpose vehicle that owns a portfolio of investments and issues various tranches of debt and subordinated note securities to finance the purchase of those investments. The investment activities of a CLO are governed by extensive investment guidelines, generally contained within a CLO’s “indenture” and other governing documents which limit, among other things, the CLO’s exposure to any single industry or obligor and provide that the CLO’s assets satisfy certain ratings requirements. Most CLOs have a defined investment period during which they are allowed to make investments and reinvest capital as it becomes available.

Telos Asset Management LLC (Telos), is a CLO manager of six CLOs; namely Telos CLO 2014-6, Ltd. (Telos 6), Telos CLO 2014-5, Ltd. (Telos 5), Telos CLO 2013-4, Ltd. (Telos 4), Telos CLO 2013-3, Ltd. (Telos 3), Telos CLO 2007‑2, Ltd. (Telos 2) and Telos CLO 2006-1, Ltd. (Telos 1). Prior to the acquisition of TAMCO, the Company did not consolidate the then existing CLOs (Telos 1 and Telos 2) as it only held a residual interest which was recorded at fair value. The Company met the requirement to consolidate when it acquired the management rights of the CLOs. Tiptree owns various amounts of Telos 1, Telos 5 and Telos 6 with an aggregate fair market value of $42,741 as of June 30, 2015. Tiptree owned various amounts of Telos 1, Telos 2, Telos 4, Telos 5 and Telos 6 with an aggregate fair market value of $94,342 as of December 31, 2014. In April 2015, the Company sold all of the subordinated notes of Telos 2 held by the Company for total proceeds of $19,740. In May 2015, the Company sold all of the subordinated notes of Telos 4 held by the Company for total proceeds of $19,988.

The assets of each of the CLOs are held solely as collateral to satisfy the obligations of the CLOs. The Company does not own and has no right to the benefits from, nor does it bear the risks associated with, the assets held by the CLOs, beyond its direct investments in, and investment advisory fees generated from, the CLOs. If the Company were to liquidate, the assets of the CLOs would not be available to its general creditors, and as a result, the Company does not consider these assets available for the benefit of its investors. Additionally, the investors in the CLOs have no recourse to the Company’s general assets for the debt issued by the CLOs. Therefore, this debt is not the Company’s obligation. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company’s maximum exposure to loss related to the CLOs is limited to its investment in the CLOs of $45,041 and $97,935, respectively, as well as the management fees receivable of $2,752 and $2,782 as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Both the carrying values of the investment in CLOs and management fees receivable are eliminated upon consolidation.
The table below represents the assets and liabilities of the consolidated CLOs that are included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of the dates indicated:

The beneficial interests retained by Tiptree include (i) ownership in the subordinated notes and related participations in management fees of the CLOs and (ii) accrued management fees. Although these beneficial interests are eliminated upon consolidation, the application of the measurement alternative as prescribed by ASU 2014-13 (see Note 2) results in the net amount of the CLOs shown above to be equivalent to the beneficial interests retained by Tiptree as illustrated in the below table:

(14) Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging

The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments as part of its overall investment activities. Investments in derivative contracts are subject to additional risk that can result in a loss of all or part of an investment. The Company’s derivative activities are primarily classified by underlying credit risk, and interest rate risk. In addition, the Company is also subject to additional counterparty risk should its counterparties fail to meet the contract terms.

Derivatives, at fair value
Credit Derivatives
Credit derivatives are generally defined as over‑the‑counter contracts between a buyer and seller of protection against the risk of default on a set of obligations issued by a specified reference entity.
Credit Default Swap Indices (CDX) are credit derivatives that reference multiple names through underlying baskets or portfolios of single name credit default swaps. The Company held four CDX contracts as of June 30, 2015, with a notional amount of $595,785 ($297,612 of sold protection and $298,173 of bought protection). The Company enters into these contracts as both a buyer of protection and seller of protection to manage the credit risk exposure of its investment portfolio. The Company is required to deposit cash collateral for these positions equal to an initial 2.25% of the notional amount of the sold protection side, subject to increase based on additional maintenance margin as a result of decreases in value. As of June 30, 2015, the total margin was $6,750.
Credit Default Swaps (CDS) are generally defined as over-the-counter contracts between a buyer and seller of protection against the risk of default on a set of obligations issued by a specified reference entity. The Company is party to one CDS contract with a notional amount of $2,397 at June 30, 2015 and $2,652 as of December 31, 2014.
Credit derivatives are included as a component of trading assets, at fair value, and are shown net of any right to reclaim cash collateral or obligation to return cash collateral.
Interest Rate Lock Commitments
The Company is exposed to certain risks in connection with its mortgage banking operations at Luxury. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk for certain interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) until a purchaser for the related underlying loans is identified. The fair value of IRLCs is subject to change primarily due to changes in market interest rates. The notional amount of the Company’s IRLCs that were matched with best efforts lock commitments with investors was $106,682 and the notional amount of the Company’s IRLCs that were matched with mandatory forward sales contracts was $7,178 as of June 30, 2015, with a combined associated fair value of $1,459. The Company hedges the mandatory forward sales contracts with TBA Mortgage Backed Security instruments. The notional amount of these open hedge instruments was $6,000 and the notional amount of the closed not yet settled hedge instruments was $3,750 as of June 30, 2015, with a combined associated fair value of $53. As of June 30, 2015, the IRLCs were included as a component of trading assets, at fair value, on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
Interest Rate Swaps
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk when there is an unfavorable change in the value of investments as a result of adverse movements in the market interest rates. The Company enters into interest rate swaps (IRS) to protect against such adverse movements in interest rates. The Company is required to post collateral for the benefit of the counterparty. This is included as

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
June 30, 2015
(in thousands, except shares and per share data)

a component of other assets in the consolidated balance sheet.
The Company is a party to six interest rate swaps with a combined notional amount of $43,988 in order to economically hedge interest rate risk associated with its real estate portfolio. All of these swaps have the same counterparty. These swaps are included as a component of trading liabilities at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The fair value of these interest rate swaps at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were $(948) and $(833), respectively.

Derivatives designated as cash flow hedging instruments

Fortegra has an interest rate swap with a counterparty pursuant to which Fortegra swapped the floating rate portion of its outstanding preferred trust securities to a fixed rate. This swap is designated as a cash flow hedge and expires in June 2017.

As of June 30, 2015, the notional amount of this instrument was $35,000, with a fair value of $(1,806), an unrealized gain net of tax of $325, a variable rate of interest of 0.29% and a fixed rate of 3.47%.

For six months ended June 30, 2015, the pretax loss recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) on the derivative-effective portion was $289, with a pretax loss reclassified from AOCI into income-effective portion of $564. The amount estimated to be reclassified to earnings from AOCI during the next 12 months is $1,055. These net losses reclassified into earnings are primarily expected to increase net interest expense related to the respective hedged item.

The Credit Agreement allows Operating Company to borrow additional amounts up to a maximum aggregate of $125,000, subject to satisfaction of certain customary conditions. The obligations of Operating Company under the Credit Agreement are secured by liens on substantially all of the assets of Operating Company. The principal of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all loans under the Credit Agreement become immediately due and payable on September 18, 2018. Loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable rate per annum equal to one-month LIBOR (with a minimum LIBOR of 1.25%), plus a margin of 6.50% per annum. The weighted average rate paid for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was 7.75%. The principal amounts of the loan is to be repaid in quarterly installments, the amount of which may be adjusted based on the Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) at the end of each fiscal quarter.

On January 26, 2015, Tiptree entered into the Amendment to its existing Credit Agreement with Fortress providing for additional term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $25,000 to Tiptree. Tiptree was required to repay and did repay $25,000 of all the aggregate outstanding additional term loans under the Fortress credit agreement upon the closing of the PFG sale on June 30, 2015.
The Company capitalized an aggregate of approximately $1,456 of costs associated with both the original transaction and the amendment discussed in the preceding paragraph.

(in thousands, except shares and per share data)

require, among other items, minimum amounts of tangible net worth, profitability, maximum indebtedness ratios, and minimum liquid assets. As of June 30, 2015, Luxury believes it was in compliance with financial covenants.

Notes Payable

On January 31, 2014, Luxury issued a series of notes to pay several former shareholders of Luxury as part of the acquisition of Luxury by Tiptree. Although the notes accrue interest at a rate of 12.0% per annum, payments to former shareholders are subject to cash available for distribution based on the profitability of Luxury subject to stipulations governed by the note agreements. The notes all mature on January 31, 2021.
Mortgage Borrowing

In December 2013, Luxury entered into a mortgage note agreement with the Bank of Danbury. The mortgage note has a term of ten years and the monthly payments are based upon a twenty-five year amortization schedule. The mortgage note has a floating rate of Prime plus 1.00%. The mortgage note is secured by the underlying rental property, a guaranty by Luxury, and a personal guaranty by one of the shareholders of Luxury.

On December 4, 2014, Fortegra entered into an amended and restated $140,000 secured credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) among: (i) Fortegra and its wholly owned subsidiary LOTS Intermediate Co. (LOTS), as borrowers (Fortegra and LOTS, collectively, the Borrowers); (ii) the initial lenders named therein; and (iii) Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, swingline lender, and issuing lender. The Credit Agreement provides for a $50,000 term loan facility and a $90,000 revolving credit facility. Subject to earlier termination, the Credit Agreement terminates on December 4, 2019. The weighted average rate paid for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was 3.18%. The Borrowers are required to repay the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the initial $50,000 term loan facility in consecutive quarterly installments of $1,250 that commenced on March 2015.

In 2012, Fortegra entered into an interest rate swap that exchanges the floating rate for a fixed rate, as further described in Note 14—Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging. The Company may redeem the preferred trust securities, in whole or in part, at a price equal to the full outstanding principal amount of such preferred trust securities outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Litigation
Tiptree’s Fortegra subsidiary is a defendant in Mullins v. Southern Financial Life Insurance Co., which was filed on February 2, 2006, in the Pike Circuit Court, in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. A class was certified on June 25, 2010. At issue is the duration or term of coverage under certain policies. The action alleges violations of the Consumer Protection Act and certain insurance statutes, as well as common law fraud. The action seeks compensatory and punitive damages, attorney fees and interest. Plaintiffs filed a Motion for Sanctions on April 5, 2012 in connection with Fortegra's efforts to locate and gather certificates and other documents from Fortegra's agents. While the court did not award sanctions, it did order Fortegra to subpoena certain records from its agents. Although Fortegra appealed the order on numerous grounds, the Kentucky Supreme Court ultimately denied the appeal in April 2014. Consequently, Fortegra has retained a special master to facilitate the collection of certificates and other documents from Fortegra's agents. On January 29, 2015, the trial court issued an Order denying Fortegra’s motion to decertify the class, which Fortegra has appealed. On July 8, 2015, the Kentucky Court of Appeals denied Fortegra’s appeal, on the grounds that the court lacked subject-matter jurisdiction. No trial or hearings are currently scheduled.

Tiptree considers such litigation customary in Fortegra’s lines of business. In management's opinion, based on information available at this time, the ultimate resolution of such litigation, which it is vigorously defending, should not be materially adverse to the financial position of Tiptree. It should be noted that large punitive damage awards, bearing little relation to actual damages sustained by plaintiffs, have been awarded in certain states against other companies in the credit insurance business. At this time, the Company cannot estimate a range of loss that is reasonably possible.

Tiptree and its subsidiaries are parties to other legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. Although Tiptree’s legal and financial liability with respect to such proceedings cannot be estimated with certainty, Tiptree does not believe that these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, are likely to have a material adverse effect on Tiptree’s financial position.

(20) Stock Based Compensation

Equity Plans

In June 2007, the Company adopted the Care Investment Trust Inc. Equity Plan (2007 Equity Plan), as amended in December 2011, which provides for the issuance of equity-based awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, unrestricted stock awards and other awards based upon the Company’s Class A common stock that may be made to directors and executive officers, employees and to the Company’s advisors and consultants who are providing services to the Company as of the date of the grant of the award.

The 2007 Equity Plan will automatically expire on the 10th anniversary of the date it was adopted. The Board of Directors may terminate, amend, modify or suspend the 2007 Equity Plan at any time, subject to stockholder approval in the case of certain amendments as required by law, regulation or stock exchange.

The Board adopted the Tiptree 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (2013 Equity Plan) on August 8, 2013. The general purpose of the 2013 Equity Plan is to attract, motivate and retain selected employees, consultants and directors for the Company, to provide them with incentives and rewards for superior performance and to better align their interests with the interests of the Company’s stockholders. As of June 30, 2015, 240,791 shares of immediately vested Class A common stock with an aggregate fair market value of $1,943 were issued to employees and persons providing services to the Company as incentive compensation under the 2013 Equity Plan. As of June 30, 2015, the number of shares of Tiptree’s Class A common stock available for award under the 2013 Equity Plan is 1,541,454 shares of Class A common stock. Unless otherwise extended by the Board, the 2013 Equity Plan terminates automatically on August 8, 2023, the tenth anniversary of its adoption by the Board.

Included in vested shares for 2015 are 6,580 shares surrendered to pay taxes on behalf of the employees with shares vesting. Immediately vested shares of common stock issued to the Company’s independent directors in respect to their annual retainer fees have been issued under the 2013 Equity Plan. During the period ended June 30, 2015, the Company issued 11,029 immediately

Mariner Investment Group LLC
TFP and Back Office Services Group, Inc. (BOSG) entered into an administrative services agreement on June 12, 2007 (Administrative Services Agreement), which was assigned to the Operating Company on July 1, 2013 in connection with the Contribution Transactions, under which BOSG provides the services of certain back office, administrative and accounting services to the Company.

Under the Administrative Services Agreement, the Company pays BOSG a quarterly fee of 0.025% of the Company’s Net Assets, defined as the Company’s total assets less total liabilities, including accrued income and expense, calculated in accordance with GAAP. This fee totaled $94 and $103 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively and $189 and $205 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Administrative Services Agreement has successive one year terms but may be terminated by the Company or BOSG upon 60 days prior notice.

(22) Concentration of Credit Risk

Counterparties

The Company is subject to certain inherent credit risks arising from its transactions involving counterparties to CDS, CDX and IRS positions.
As of June 30, 2015, the CDS and CDX positions have a notional amount of $2,397 and notional amount of $595,785 ($297,612 of sold protection and $298,173 of bought protection) and a fair value of $87 and $10,252. The counterparty for the CDS and CDX positions are Bank of America, N.A. and Morgan Stanley, respectively.
As of June 30, 2015, the IRS positions have an aggregate notional amount of $78,988 and a fair value of $(2,754). The counterparties for the IRS positions are First Niagara Bank and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.
The Company’s policy is to monitor its market exposure and counterparty risk through the use of various credit exposure reporting and control procedures.
See Note 14—Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging, for further details.

(23) Income Taxes

The total income tax benefit of $371 and benefit of $1,080 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and total tax benefit of $1,867 and benefit of $1,732 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, is reflected as a component of income / (loss) from continuing operations.

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company’s effective tax rate on income from continuing operations was equal to 45.3%, which does not bear a customary relationship to statutory income tax rates. The tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2015 is higher than the U.S. statutory income tax rate of 35%, primarily due to taxes incurred at certain corporate subsidiaries that do not consolidate with the Company’s taxable income, tax losses generated at certain of our taxable subsidiaries which require a valuation allowance and do not generate an income tax benefit, and state income taxes incurred on a separate legal entity basis.

(24) Earnings Per Share

The Company calculates basic net income per common share based on the Company’s common stock outstanding as well as its unvested restricted share units. The unvested restricted share units are included because they are eligible to receive dividends. Diluted net income for the period takes into account the effect of dilutive instruments, such as any options on common shares, but uses the average share price for the period in determining the number of incremental shares that are to be added to the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income also includes the minimal dilutive impact of the 3,609,420 Operating Company warrants held by TFP as part of the Contribution Transactions as summarized in Note 1—Organization of the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. Earnings per share data excludes Tiptree’s Class B common stock, as the Class B common stock evidences a voting right without any economic interest.

(1) For the three months ended June 30, 2015, the total net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interest was $4,832, comprised of $(183) due to continuing operations and $5,015 attributable to discontinued operations. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the total net income attributable to non-controlling interest was $1,982, comprised of $311 due to continuing operations and $1,672 attributable to discontinued operations.
For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the total net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interest was $3,792, comprised of $(1,871) due to continuing operations and $5,663 attributable to discontinued operations.

a warehouse credit facility with Reliance pursuant to which Tiptree may provide up to $20,000 to Reliance for the purpose of originating mortgage loans. As of the date of this report, no amounts are outstanding under this warehouse credit facility. On July 20, 2015, Reliance granted membership incentive awards equal to 12.0% of the equity interests of Reliance to employees of Reliance. Of these incentive awards, 9.0% vest upon achievement of specified financial targets and the remaining 3.0% vest in four equal installments annually, in each case subject to continued employment.

On July 9, 2015, Tiptree contributed $20,000 and on August 7, 2015, an additional $10,000 to Telos 2015-7, Ltd. which entered into a warehouse credit facility in anticipation of launching a new CLO.

Except for the historical information included and incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the information included and incorporated by reference herein are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements provide management’s current expectations or forecasts of future events and are not statements of historical fact. These forward-looking statements include information about possible or assumed future events, including, among other things, discussion and analysis of our future financial condition, results of operations and our strategic plans and objectives. When the Company uses words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “project,” “should,” “target”, “will,” or similar expressions, the Company intends to identify forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, are difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements.

Overview

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations is presented in this section as follows:
Overview
Results of Operations
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Standards

The Company currently operates in five reporting segments: insurance and insurance services, specialty finance, real estate asset management, and corporate and other. See Note 6 - Operating Segment Data, in the notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for detailed information regarding our segments. Since different factors affect the financial condition and results of operation of each segment, the following is presented on both a consolidated and segment basis.

Significant Quarterly Events

The Company completed its previously announced sale of PFG during the second quarter. The net after-tax gain from the sale was $16.3 million. For further discussion of the sale of PFG please see Note 5—Dispositions, Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.

During the second quarter of 2015, the Company expanded its principal investments into non-performing mortgage loans and established a credit opportunity fund with the Company as its sole initial investor. The non-performing mortgage loan (“NPL”) strategy commenced with the investment of $9.7 million in the second quarter in a pool of non-performing residential mortgages securing single family properties. The Company invested $25 million in its credit opportunity strategy, which involves the leveraged purchase of commercial loans. As part of this strategy, to leverage the Company’s investment in the credit opportunities fund, it established a line of credit with a major investment bank. Further details of the Company’s principal investments in non-performing mortgage loans and the credit opportunity fund are contained in the Corporate and other segment discussion.


Page 1



The Company sold its investments in the subordinated notes issued by Telos 2 and Telos 4 to partly fund the diversification of its principal investments and to recycle capital from existing CLOs into a warehouse facility with the objective of creating new CLOs to increase asset management fees. The sales generated net cash of $39.7 million and realized losses of $8.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Also during the second quarter, the Company increased its principal investment in Star Asia by $4.8 million through its participation in a rights offering. The fair value of the Company’s investment in Star Asia totaled $8.9 million as of June 30, 2015.

Further details on the diversification and realignment of the Company’s principal investments is contained in the Corporate and other segment discussion.
Subsequent Events

On July 1, 2015, the Company closed its previously announced acquisition of Reliance First Capital, LLC (“Reliance”). Reliance is a retail mortgage originator operating in 32 states. Its fulfillment operations are conducted through a call center and are focused on GSE and FHA/VA mortgage loans. Reliance uses warehouse lines to fund its mortgage loan originations, and then sells the loans servicing released to correspondent aggregators. Reliance’s funded volume for the first six months of 2015 was $389 million and its sold volume was $383 million. The Company believes that the acquisition of Reliance will be complementary to its existing Luxury business and will provide opportunities for future growth in the mortgage business. Reliance will be included in its specialty finance segment in future quarters.

On July 9, 2015, Tiptree contributed $20 million and on August 7, 2015, an additional $10 million to Telos 2015-7, an entity that then established a new warehouse line to leverage investments in loans in anticipation of launching a new CLO. In future quarters, similar to other CLOs that it manages and in which the Company has subordinated note investments, management income and expenses will be reported in its Asset Management Segment and the principal investment, distributions and net realized and unrealized gains on the subordinated notes the Company owns will be reported in its Corporate and other segment.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that adjusted EBITDA provides a supplementary metric to enhance investors’ understanding of the ongoing growth potential of the Company’s businesses and an indication of the cash available for re-investment of the businesses. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not a measurement of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP; therefore, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative or substitute for GAAP.

Consolidated Results of Operations

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company reported after tax income of $19.8 million compared with after tax net income of $4.0 million in the comparable period of 2014. The increase of $15.8 million was primarily driven by the $27.2 million pre-tax gain (or $16.3 million after-tax gain) on the sale of the Company’s PFG subsidiary and the incorporation of Fortegra’s pre-tax earnings of $6.3 million in the second quarter of 2015, partially offset by the loss on the sale of subordinated notes in Telos 2 and Telos 4. Revenues totaled $99.2 million for the second quarter of 2015 compared with revenues of $9.6 million for the second quarter of 2014. Expenses were $102.7 million for the second quarter of 2015, compared with expenses of $16.0 million for the second quarter of 2014. The significant increase in revenues was primarily attributable to the incorporation of Fortegra’s revenues and additional rental income, which increased as a result of the expansion of the Care’s real estate investment activities, while the increase in expenses was the result of increased interest, payroll, depreciation and other expenses attributable to both Fortegra and Care, plus the loss on the sale of the subordinated notes of Telos 2 and Telos 4.

Management believes that adjusted EBITDA provides a supplementary metric to enhance investors’ understanding of the on-going growth potential of the Company’s businesses and an indication of the cash available for re-investment of the combined businesses. See “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for further information relating to the Company’s adjusted EBITDA measure, including a reconciliation to GAAP net income.

The Company’s total adjusted EBITDA was $32.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared with total adjusted EBITDA of $11.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014. The primary driver of the increase in total adjusted EBITDA was the gain on sale of PFG. The primary driver of the increase in adjusted EBITDA for continuing operations was the incorporation of Fortegra’s adjusted EBITDA of $9.2 million for the second quarter of 2015. Adjusted EBITDA for the period eliminates the impact of purchase accounting adjustments at Fortegra and increased depreciation and amortization expenses incurred in the second quarter of 2015 due to the expansion of the real estate segment’s joint venture activities.

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company reported after tax net income of $17.8 million compared with after tax net income of $7.6 million in the comparable period in 2014. The key drivers of the change in net income were the gain on sale of the Company’s PFG subsidiary and the incorporation of Fortegra’s pre-tax earnings of $10.3 million for the first half of 2015. Revenues were $187.2 million in the first half of 2015, compared with $20.5 million in the first six months of 2014, an increase of $166.7 million. Expenses increased to $197.3 million in the first six months of 2015 from $29.8 million in the same period in 2014, an increase of $167.5 million. The significant change in revenues was predominantly due to the same factors as for the three months ended June 30, 2015, primarily the incorporation of Fortegra’s revenues for the first half of 2015 and an increase in rental income from Care’s expanded property portfolio. The increase in expenses in 2015 included increased amortization due to the impact of purchase accounting on Fortegra’s results, and increased interest, payroll, depreciation and other expenses

related to the ongoing expansion of the Company’s real estate investment activities. Discussion of the changes in revenues, expenses and net income is presented below and in more detail, in our segment analysis.

The Company’s total adjusted EBITDA was $45.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared with total adjusted EBITDA of $21.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014. The primary driver of the increase in total adjusted EBITDA was the gain on sale of PFG. The primary driver of the increase in adjusted EBITDA for continuing operations was the incorporation of Fortegra’s results for the first half of 2015 of $17.5 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the period incorporates the same adjustments as those in the second quarter of 2015.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that adjusted EBITDA provides a supplementary metric to enhance investors’ understanding of the ongoing growth potential of the Company’s businesses and an indication of the cash available for re-investment of the businesses. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not a measurement of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP; therefore, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative or substitute for GAAP.

Insurance and Insurance Services segment

The Company’s insurance and insurance services segment is comprised of its wholly-owned Fortegra subsidiary, which was acquired in December 2014. Accordingly, there are no comparable revenues or expenses reported for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. In addition, the financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 previously reported in Fortegra’s filings with the SEC may not be comparable to financial information reported in this report due to purchase price accounting adjustments to Fortegra’s results giving effect to the push-down accounting treatment of Tiptree’s acquisition of Fortegra. These adjustments include setting deferred cost assets to a fair value of zero, modifying deferred revenue liabilities to their respective fair values, and recording a substantial intangible asset representing the value of the acquired insurance policies and contracts. The application of push-down accounting creates a modest impact to net income, but significantly impacts individual assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. In addition, Fortegra’s purchase of the remaining 37.6% of ProtectCELL in 2015 reduced the amount of net income attributable to non-controlling interests for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and thus had a positive impact on Fortegra’s net income. Results of the Company’s PFG subsidiary, which had previously been presented in the insurance and insurance services segment have been reclassified as discontinued operations for 2014 and 2015.

Insurance and insurance services segment pre-tax income was $10.3 million for the first half of 2015. Pre-tax income increased from $4.0 million in the first quarter of 2015 to $6.3 million in the second quarter of 2015. Revenues were $78.5 million in the second quarter, compared with $72.4 million in the first quarter. The quarter over quarter net increase of $6.1 million in revenues was principally driven by increases in service and administrative fees of $3.6 million and earned premiums of $2.3 million. The quarter over quarter improvement in revenues was largely attributable to strong sales of credit and warranty insurance products partially offset by competitive pressure in mobile device protection plans and motor club memberships resulting in reduced contract volumes in those two product lines.

For insurance and insurance services, the main components of revenue are service and administrative fees, ceding commissions and earned premiums, net. While the sale of cell phone warranty contracts have been dampened by competitive pressures, slowing growth in that area has been more than offset by growth in the sale of credit life insurance, warranty and specialty insurance products in the auto sector and for other consumer durables.

Service and administrative fees were $22.0 million for the first quarter of 2015, and $25.5 million in the second quarter, a 16% increase as a result of these factors. Ceding commissions were $9.9 million in the first quarter and $10.1 million in the second quarter. Ceding commissions are earned on credit insurance products. Fortegra’s clients typically retain underwriting risk related to the insurance products they offer to their customers through retrospective insurance arrangements or wholly-owned reinsurance subsidiaries. While the majority of Fortegra’s revenues are fee-based, the Company selectively assumes underwriting risk from time to time to meet client’s needs and enhance profitability. As a result of its risk retention activities, Fortegra generated earned premiums, net of $37.3 million in the first quarter and $39.7 million in the second quarter. Earned premiums, net are generated from the retained portion of Fortegra’s payment protection insurance policies sold in conjunction with the offering of consumer finance products by financial institution and retail clients with whom the Company typically has long standing relationships.

Segment expenses in the first half were $140.6 million. Expenses were $72.2 million in the second quarter, compared with $68.4 million in the first quarter. The quarter over quarter net increase of $3.8 million was principally driven by an increase in commission expenses of $7.4 million, partly offset by a reduction in depreciation and amortization expense of $4.8 million. The increase in commission expense largely resulted from increased sales in the second quarter. The reduction in depreciation and amortization expense was attributable to lower purchase price amortization charges in the second quarter.

Expenses in the insurance and insurance services segment are composed of payroll and employee commissions, commissions paid to brokers, member benefit claims, net losses and loss adjustment expense, depreciation and amortization expenses and other expenses.

Payroll and employee commissions expense are the largest component of our expense base and are composed of base salaries, employee commissions and accruals for employee paid time off and bonuses. Payroll and employee commission expense was $9.7 million for the second quarter and $20.1 million for the six months ending June 30, 2015.

Commissions expense is incurred on most of Fortegra’s revenue classes, most of which are retrospective commissions paid to distributors and retailers selling our products, including credit insurance policies, motor club memberships, mobile device protection and warranty service contracts. Credit insurance commission rates are, in many cases, set by state regulators and are also impacted by market conditions. Commission expense was $23.9 million for the second quarter and $40.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, driven by the increase in policies issued quarter over quarter primarily in the credit life and specialty auto warranty and insurance products.

Claims payments under Fortegra’s insurance and warranty service contracts take the form of two types. Member benefit claims represent the costs of services and replacement devices incurred in car club and warranty protection service contracts. Net losses and loss adjustment expenses represent actual insurance claims paid, changes in unpaid claim reserves, net of amounts ceded, and the costs of administering claims for Fortegra’s credit life and other insurance lines, such as non-standard auto. Incurred claims are impacted by loss frequency, which is a measure of the number of claims per unit of insured exposure, and loss severity, which is based on the average size of claims. Factors affecting loss frequency and loss severity include changes in claims reporting patterns, claims settlement patterns, judicial decisions, economic conditions, morbidity patterns and the attitudes of claimants towards settlements. Member benefits claims and net losses and loss adjustment expenses, combined were $21.2 million for the second quarter and $41.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The slight increase in the second quarter over the first quarter was a function of growth in earned premiums in credit life and non-standard auto, and increased motor club claims partially offset by lower claims in mobile devices.

Depreciation and amortization expense of $7.2 million for the second quarter and $19.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 related primarily to the amortization of the intangible assets acquired as a result of Tiptree’s purchase of Fortegra. The most significant of these expenses is the amortization of the fair value attributed to the insurance policies and contracts acquired, which had a value of $36.5 million as of the acquisition date and which has a steep amortization curve. Amortization of this intangible asset was approximately $16.9 million in the first six months of 2015.

Fortegra’s other expenses primarily comprise lead acquisition, advertising and event costs, bank and credit card processing fees, technology expenses, filing and licensing fees, premium taxes and office rent costs. The combination of these expenses totaled $8.4 million for the second quarter and $16.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. For further information relating to Fortegra’s debt and interest expenses, please refer to Note 15 - Debt, of the accompanying financial statements.

Specialty Finance segment

Our specialty finance segment is comprised of Siena, a commercial finance company, which is 62% owned by the Company and Luxury, a mortgage originator which is 67.5% owned by the Company. As described above in “—Overview—Subsequent Events,” the acquisition of Reliance, a retail mortgage originator, was completed in the third quarter of 2015, and this entity will be added to our specialty finance segment. Reliance’s funding volume in the first six months of 2015 totaled $389 million, while Luxury’s funding volume in the first six months of 2015 totaled $440 million.

Specialty Finance segment pre-tax income was $568 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared with a pre-tax net loss of $731 thousand for the second quarter of 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the specialty finance segment pre-tax net income was $1.0 million, compared with a pre-tax net loss of $1.5 million for the prior year comparable period.

Segment revenues were $8.0 million for the second quarter of 2015, compared with $3.9 million for the second quarter of 2014, an increase of $4.1 million or 107%. Segment expenses were $7.4 million in the second quarter of 2015, compared with $4.5 million in the second quarter of 2014, an increase of $2.9 million or 66%.

Segment revenues were $14.2 million for the first half of 2015, compared with revenues of $5.8 million in the corresponding prior year period, an increase of $8.4 million or 146%. Segment expenses were $13.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared with $7.1 million in the first half of 2014, an increase of $6.1 million or 88%. Second quarter and first half 2015 results for Siena and Luxury are discussed further below.

Siena

Siena earned pre-tax net income of $372 thousand for the second quarter of 2015, compared with a pre-tax net loss of $23 thousand for the second quarter of 2014. Siena earned net pre-tax income of $704 thousand in the first half of 2015 as compared to a net pre-tax loss of $99 thousand in of the same period in 2014. The improvement in Siena’s results in 2015 were primarily the result of a combination of new clients and increased lending activities and lifting the balance of average earning assets, which were $51.0 million for the first half of 2015, compared with $22.3 million for the first half of 2014, an increase of 129%. Siena’s revenues are primarily driven by interest income on the loans it makes to small and medium sized U.S. companies and fee income associated with the Company’s lending activities.


Page 9



Revenues earned by Siena totaled $2.4 million in the second quarter of 2015, compared with $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2014, an increase of $1.4 million or 135%. For the first half of 2015, Siena’s revenues were $4.3 million, compared with revenues of $1.5 million in the first half of 2014, an increase of $2.8 million or 176%. The increase in second quarter and first half revenue year over year was primarily driven by the increase in lending volume.

Siena’s expenses were $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2015, compared with $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2014, an increase of $1.0 million or 93%. Siena’s expenses were $3.6 million in the first half of 2015, compared with $1.6 million in the first half of 2014, an increase of $2.0 million or 116%. Siena’s expenses are comprised primarily of interest expense on the Company’s borrowings, payroll and employee commissions and other expenses. Growth in expenses were in line with the overall increase in lending volume and were partially driven by the relocation of corporate headquarters to accommodate Siena’s growth.

Luxury

Luxury earned pre-tax net income of $196 thousand for the second quarter of 2015, compared with a pre-tax net loss of $598 thousand in the second quarter of 2014, an increase of $794 thousand. Luxury earned net pre-tax income of $299 thousand for the first half of 2015, compared with a net pre-tax loss of $1.4 million for the first half of 2014. The improvement in results were primarily driven by a year over year 80% increase in mortgage origination volume from $244 million in the first half of 2014 to $440 million in the first half of 2015.

Luxury’s revenues for the second quarter of 2015 were $5.6 million compared with $2.8 million for the second quarter of 2014, an increase of $2.8 million or 97%. Luxury’s revenues for the first half of 2015 were $10.0 million, a 136% year over year increase over the $4.2 million in the prior year period. The revenue improvement was driven by higher funding volume. Revenues earned by Luxury are comprised of gain on sale on mortgages originated and sold to investors, gains and losses on Luxury’s mortgage pipeline of interest rate lock commitments and mortgage loans held for sale and the associated hedges, interest income on mortgages held for sale, and fees associated with Luxury’s mortgage origination business. Luxury’s loan fees primarily comprised loan application fees, appraisal fees, document preparation fees, broker fees earned and loan underwriting fees.

Luxury’s expenses for the second quarter of 2015 were $5.4 million compared with $3.4 million for the second quarter of 2014, an increase of $2.0 million or 57%. Total expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2105 were $9.7 million, up 79% from the year earlier period. Luxury’s expenses are composed of interest expense on the borrowings primarily used to finance mortgages held for sale, payroll and employee commissions and other expenses. As the mortgage origination business is highly scalable, expenses generally increase at a slower pace relative to increases in revenues. As a result, expenses were up generally in line with the improvements in funding volume, driving improved profitability. The primary driver of higher expenses was higher personnel costs as the result of increased volumes.

Real Estate segment

The Company’s real estate segment consists of its wholly-owned Care subsidiary, which primarily acquires and owns seniors housing properties. As of June 30, 2015, Care’s portfolio consists of 24 properties across 9 states primarily in the Mid-Atlantic and Southern United States. Care’s portfolio is comprised of 5 triple net lease properties, 13 joint venture properties and 6 hybrid triple net lease properties. Hybrid triple net lease are properties where Care owns the real estate and the operator owns the operating company, with the operator paying a contractual annual minimum rent and Care and the operator both sharing in the property’s net operating income based on agreed metrics.

Care had a pre-tax net loss of $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2015, compared with a pre-tax net loss of $751 thousand in the second quarter of 2014. Care had a pre-tax loss of $6.2 million in the first half of 2015, compared with pre-tax loss of $1.5 million in the first half of 2014. Care made significant investments in senior housing properties and joint ventures during 2014 and the first quarter of 2015. The increase in the number of properties generated higher rental and other income in the first half of 2015, but the Company also incurred additional depreciation and amortization expenses as a consequence of the expansion in Care’s business.

Care had Adjusted EBITDA of $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2015 compared to $784 thousand in the comparable period of 2014 and $2.7 million of Adjusted EBITDA for the first half of 2015 compared to $1.6 million in the comparable period in 2014. See “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for a reconciliation to GAAP net income.

Care’s revenues were $12.4 million for the second quarter of 2015, compared with $4.8 million for the second quarter of 2014, an increase of $7.6 million or 155%. Care’s revenues increased significantly to $21.8 million in the first half of 2015, compared with $9.8 million in the first half of 2014, an increase of 121%. Rental income in the first half of 2015 was $20.5 million, compared with rental income of $8.8 million in the first half of 2014. Care earned other income of $1.3 million in the first half of 2015, compared to other income of $386 thousand in the first half of 2014. Other income in the first half of 2015 was comprised of resident fees of $985 thousand and reimbursable escrow earnings of $325 thousand. In the first half of 2014, resident fees were $131 thousand and reimbursable escrow earnings were $255 thousand. The increase in rental revenue and other income is mainly due to new joint ventures, including the Royal joint venture which was established in the first quarter of 2015 and the Greenfield and Belle Reve joint ventures which were established in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Care’s net losses on investments of $116 thousand and $724 thousand in the first half of 2015 and the first half of 2014, respectively, primarily consist of unrealized losses on interest rate swaps undertaken to mitigate Care’s interest rate risk. Care earned interest income of $44 thousand in the first half of 2015, compared to interest income of $1.4 million in the first half of 2014. The decline in interest income in 2015 was attributable to the repayment of the Westside loan in the third quarter of 2014.

Care’s expenses for the second quarter of 2015 were $14.3 million compared with $5.6 million for the second quarter of 2014, an increase of $8.7 million or 156%. Care’s expenses increased to $27.9 million in the first half of 2015, compared with $11.4 million in the second quarter of 2014, an increase of 146%. Care’s expenses are comprised of interest expenses on Care’s borrowings, payroll expenses (including employees of Care’s joint ventures), professional fees, depreciation and amortization of properties and leases acquired and other expenses. Interest expense was $3.1 million for the first half of 2015, compared with $2.0 million for the first half of 2014. Payroll expenses were $8.1 million for the first half of 2015 compared with $3.5 million for the first half of 2014. Depreciation and amortization expenses were $7.3 million in the first half of 2015, compared with $3.1 million in the first half of 2014. Care’s other expenses, which include property operating expenses, office expenses, property acquisition costs, professional fees and property taxes, were $9.4 million for the first half of 2015, compared with $2.8 million for the first half of 2014. The increase in expenses was attributable to increased operating costs associated with the larger property portfolio and an increase in amortization of in-place leases acquired.

Asset Management segment

The Company’s asset management segment generates fee income from the CLOs under management and from its management of NPPF 1, a portfolio of tax-exempt securities owned by third-party investors. Total assets under management (“AUM”) of our asset management segment were $1.91 billion as of June 30, 2015, compared to $1.77 billion as of June 30, 2014, of which $1.76 billion was attributable to the CLO business and $153.3 million was attributable to NPPF1 as of June 30, 2015 and $1.59 billion was attributable to the CLO business and $183.4 million was attributable to NPPF1 as of June 30, 2014. The Company added $730.0 million of AUM in 2014 by launching Telos 5 and Telos 6 but that amount was offset by a decline in $223.2 million of AUM as Telos 1 and Telos 2 returned principal to noteholders since they were past their reinvestment period, and a decline in AUM of NPPF1 of $37.7 million which is in run-off. For a review of the inter-segment allocation of revenues from CLOs under management, please refer to “—Net Income attributable to CLOs managed by the Company - for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014” below. Other management fee income in the table above represents the fees earned from the management of the NPPF 1 portfolio by our Muni Capital Management subsidiary.

Pre-tax net income for the asset management segment was $2.4 million for the second quarter of 2015, compared with pre-tax net income of $2.6 million for the second quarter of 2014, a decline of $0.2 million or 9%. Pretax net income for the first half of 2015 was $4.5 million, as compared to $4.9 million in the prior year period. The principal reason for the decline was the reduction in CLO management fees, driven by a combination of amortized AUM and lower fees as described below.

CLO asset management fees totaled $5.6 million in the first half of 2015, compared to $6.1 million in the first half of 2014. Although the number of CLOs under management increased from five CLOs as of June 30, 2014 to six CLOs as of June 30, 2015, management fee income declined between 2014 and 2015. The decrease was due principally to the reduction in management fees earned on Telos 1 and Telos 2, whose assets are declining, generally resulting in reduced management fees. Fees on Telos 5 and Telos 6, both new in 2014, were earned at a lower rate than the fees generated from Telos 1 and Telos 2, which had been issued in 2006 and 2007.

Expenses for the Asset management segment were $1.1 million for the first half of 2015, compared with $1.4 million for the first half of 2014. The decline is largely due to a reduction in staffing numbers at Muni Capital Management.

Net Income attributable to CLOs managed by the Company - for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014.

The Company earns revenues from CLOs under management. These revenues comprise fees earned for managing the CLOs, distributions received from the Company’s holdings of subordinated notes issued by the CLOs and realized and unrealized gains and losses from the Company’s holdings of subordinated notes. The management fees earned from the CLOs are incorporated in the Asset Management segment, while distributions earned and gains and losses on the Company’s holdings of subordinated notes issued by the CLOs are incorporated in the Company’s corporate and other segment.

Pre-tax net income from the Company’s CLO business was $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2015, compared with net pre-tax net income of $7.1 million in the second quarter of 2014. Pretax net income attributable to consolidated CLOs was $2.7 million in the first half of 2015 versus $11.7 million in the prior year period. The primary drivers of the decline in 2015 was attributable to realized and unrealized losses incurred on the Company’s holdings of CLO subordinated notes in the second quarter of 2015. The Company sold its holdings of subordinated notes issued by Telos 2 and Telos 4 during the second quarter of 2015. The sale generated net cash proceeds of $39.7 million, but also had the effect of reducing the total amount of distributions earned from holdings of subordinated notes in the second quarter of 2015. The sale also generated tax losses of approximately $12.5 million to the Company.

Corporate and other segment

The Company’s corporate and other segment incorporates revenues from the Company’s investments in CLOs and tax exempt securities, income from the Company’s credit investment portfolio and net gains or losses from the Company’s corporate finance activity, including the interest rate and credit derivative risk mitigation transactions. Segment expenses include interest expense on the Fortress credit facility and head office payroll and other expenses.

The Company’s CLO subordinated notes and tax exempt security portfolio comprises holdings of subordinated notes and related participations in management fees issued primarily by CLOs managed by the Company (“CLO holdings”), together with the Company’s tax-exempt security holdings. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company’s CLO holdings, at fair value, were $42.7 million and $94.3 million respectively. In the first half of 2015, the Company incurred a net loss of $2.9 million on its CLO holdings, which comprised net distributions received of $9.0 million and realized and unrealized net losses of $11.9 million. During the second quarter of 2015, the Company sold its holdings of CLO subordinated notes issued by Telos 2 and Telos 4 for total net proceeds of $39.7 million, and realized a total cumulative loss of $22.0 million, of which a net total of $8.0 million was recognized in the first half of 2015. The total cumulative realized loss on the CLO subordinated notes sold was offset by total cumulative distributions of $94.3 million received by the Company over the period the subordinated notes were held, of which $3.2 million was earned in 2015.

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company held investments at fair value of $10.1 million and $13.2 million, respectively, in portfolios of tax-exempt securities managed by the Company. In the first half of 2015, the Company earned realized and unrealized gains of $55 thousand on these portfolios, compared with $1.9 million in the first half of 2014. Interest income earned from these portfolios was $310 thousand in the first half of 2015, compared to $861 thousand in the first half of 2014. The decline in interest income and realized and unrealized gains were due to the reduced size of the portfolios in 2015.

The Company’s credit portfolio comprises its loan warehouse, investments in non-performing mortgage loans and its credit opportunity strategy. In 2014, the Company had established loan warehouse credit facilities which were designed to hold loans until new CLOs could be formed. The warehouse facilities generated net income of $2.1 million in the first half of 2014. The warehouse facilities were terminated as CLOs were issued during the course of 2014 and consequently no income was earned or expenses incurred in the first half of 2015. However, as noted in the subsequent events section of this discussion, the Company established a warehouse line in the third quarter of 2015 to purchase loans in anticipation of the subsequent launch of a new CLO.

The Company commenced its non-performing loan strategy during the second quarter of 2015 with the investment of $9.7 million in the second quarter in a pool of non-performing mortgage loans secured by residential properties. The mortgage loans were purchased at a discount to their unpaid principal balances and the estimated value of the underlying properties. The goal of the strategy is to earn a return on the investment through a restructuring and subsequent reselling the mortgage at a gain or through foreclosure on the property and selling the property at a gain. The Company incurred a minimal loss from its non-performing loan strategy in the second quarter of 2015, primarily due to professional expenses incurred in establishing the strategy.


Page 14



The Company also commenced its credit opportunities strategy during the second quarter of 2015 with the purchase of a pool of loans to middle-market borrowers. The Company has leveraged its principal investment with a secured credit agreement. As of June 30, 2015 the Company had invested $25 million in the strategy and borrowed $9.4 million under the financing facility for settled purchases of loans totaling $34.4 million. Under the terms of the financing agreement, the Company bears the first loss on any defaults in the pool of loans. Net income from the credit opportunities strategy was $160 thousand for the second quarter of 2015.

Corporate revenues comprise net realized and unrealized gains and losses on the Company’s credit mitigation transactions, income from the Company’s investments in Star Asia entities and other Corporate investments.

The Company has entered into an interest rate hedge to mitigate the potential negative impact of a general rise in interest rates. The Company has also entered into a credit derivative swap and CDX derivative index positions, buying and selling credit protection on different tranches of risk in differing CDX indices. The credit swap and CDX transactions are designed to mitigate the potential impact of a general deterioration in corporate credit risk. The total net loss on these risk mitigation transactions was $690 thousand in the first half of 2015, compared with total net loss of $2.5 million in the first half of 2014.

Corporate revenues include income from the Company’s investments in the Star Asia Entities. The Star Asia Entities are Tokyo-based real estate holding companies formed to invest in Asian properties and real estate related debt instruments. The Company incurred an unrealized loss of $63 thousand on these investments in the first half of 2015, compared to unrealized gains of $680 thousand in the first half of 2014 from its investments in these entities. During the second quarter of 2015, the Company invested $4.8 million in a rights offering from Star Asia Finance Ltd.

Net revenues from other Corporate investments were $2 thousand in the first half of 2015, compared with net revenues of $931 thousand in the first half of 2014. The decline was primarily the result of unrealized losses on investments of $196 thousand in the first half of 2015, compared with net unrealized gains of $336 thousand in the first half of 2014.

Corporate and other segment interest expense was $3.3 million in the first half of 2015, compared to $3.0 million in the first half of 2014. This interest expense is primarily interest on borrowings under the Company’s credit agreement with Fortress. Interest expense incurred on the Company’s borrowings under the Fortress line of credit was $3.0 million in the first half of 2015, compared to $2.3 million in the first half of 2014. Further details of the Company’s borrowings under the Fortress credit agreement are provided in Note 15-Debt, in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Corporate and other segment operating expenses include payroll, professional fees and other expenses. Payroll expenses, which include salaries, bonuses and benefits totaled $6.6 million in the first half of 2015, compared to $4.1 million in the first half of 2014. Corporate payroll expense includes the expense of head office management, legal and accounting staff as well as the payroll expense associated with the management of the Company’s tax exempt portfolio. Payroll expenses increased in 2015 as the Company expanded its staff to match the increased scope of its activities.

Other expenses were $4.5 million in the first half of 2015 and $2.9 million in the first half of 2014. The other expenses primarily consisted of professional fees, insurance, shareholder support, office rent and other office costs and travel expenses. Other expenses increased in 2015 as a result of the general expansion in the Company’s business activities.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Provision for income taxes

Tiptree Financial had a total tax benefit from continuing operations of $371 thousand in the second quarter of 2015 as compared to a tax benefit of $1.1 million in the same period of 2014. The effective tax rate on income from continuing operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 was approximately 45.3% compared to 22.3% for the prior year period (which does not bear a customary relationship to statutory income tax rates). Differences from the statutory income tax rates are primarily the result of: (i) taxes incurred at certain corporate subsidiaries that do not consolidate with our taxable income, (ii) non-deductible transaction costs incurred on the Fortegra transaction, (iii) the effect of changes in valuation allowance on net operating losses reported by Tiptree Financial, Siena, Luxury, and MFCA, and (iv) the effect of state income taxes incurred on a separate legal entity basis.

For the first half of 2015, Tiptree Financial had a tax benefit from continuing operations of $1.9 million, compared with a tax benefit of $1.7 million in the first half of 2014. The key driver of the 2015 tax benefit is due to $12.5 million of realized CLO losses, while the key driver of the tax benefit in 2014 was due to losses in our Luxury subsidiary.

Discontinued operations, net

The Company completed its sale of PFG during the second quarter of 2015. Net income from PFG discontinued operations was $23.3 million in the first half of 2015, which includes the net gain on the sale of PFG of $16.3 million after provision for taxes. As such, income from discontinued operations was $7.0 million, excluding the gain on the sale of PFG, in the first half of 2015 compared to $3.5 million for the first half of 2014. For further information relating to the sale of PFG see Note 5—Dispositions, Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Net income available to Class A common stockholders

The net income attributable to Class A common stockholders for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 was a net gain of $15.0 million compared to net income of $2.0 million for the same period in 2014. The change in net income available to Class A common stockholders was primarily driven by the improvement in the Company’s after-tax net income to $19.8 million for the second quarter of 2015, from net income of $4.0 million for the second quarter of 2014, together with the effect of exchanges of limited partnership units for Class A common stock in the third and fourth quarters of 2014. As of June 30, 2015, the Class A common stockholders were entitled, directly or indirectly, to approximately 77% of the net income of the Company, compared to approximately 25% as of June 30, 2014. For more information on the Company’s structure, see Note 1—Organization, in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Balance Sheet Information - as of June 30, 2015 compared to the year ended December 31, 2014

The Company’s total assets were $3.4 billion as of June 30, 2015, compared to $8.2 billion as of December 31, 2014. The $4.8 billion decline in assets is primarily attributable to the completion of the sale of PFG and the corresponding removal of PFG separate account assets as at June 30, 2015. Total stockholders’ equity of the Company was $405.3 million as of June 30, 2015 compared to $401.6 million as of December 31, 2014. Total stockholders’ equity of Tiptree Financial was $296.7 million as of June 30, 2015 compared to $284.5 million as of December 31, 2014. The primary reason for the change in Tiptree Financial Inc. stockholders’ equity was the gain attributable to Class A stockholders and the declaration and/or payments of dividends to stockholders in the first half of 2015.

Management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes that consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis and for each segment provide supplemental information useful to investors as it is frequently used by the financial community to analyze performance period to period, to analyze a company’s ability to service its debt and to facilitate comparison among companies. The Company believes segment EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provides additional supplemental information to compare results among our segments. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not a measurement of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP; therefore, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative or substitute for GAAP. The Company’s presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may differ from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The Company defines EBITDA as GAAP net income of the Company adjusted to add consolidated interest expense, consolidated income taxes and consolidated depreciation and amortization expense as presented in its financial statements and Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted to (i) subtract interest expense on asset-specific debt incurred in the ordinary course of its subsidiaries’ business operations, (ii) adjust for the effect of purchase accounting, (iii) add back significant acquisition related costs and (iv) adjust for significant relocation costs.

The consolidated non-corporate and non-acquisition related interest expense subtracted from Adjusted EBITDA includes interest expense associated with asset-specific debt at subsidiaries in the Specialty Finance, Real Estate and Corporate and Other segments. For the quarter ended June 30, 2015, interest expense for the asset-specific debt was $834 thousand for Specialty Finance, $1.7 million for Real Estate and $83 thousand for Corporate and Other, totaling $2.7 million. For the quarter ended June 30, 2014, interest expense for the asset-specific debt was $311 thousand for Specialty Finance and $1.0 million for Real Estate totaling $1.3 million.
(2)
Tiptree’s purchase of Fortegra resulted in a number of purchase accounting adjustments being made as of the date of acquisition, which included setting deferred cost assets to a fair value of zero, modifying deferred revenue liabilities to their respective fair values, and recording a substantial intangible asset representing the value of the acquired insurance policies and contracts. Following the purchase accounting adjustments, current period expenses associated with deferred costs were more favorably stated by $7.9 million and current period income associated with deferred revenues were less favorably stated by $1.8 million. Thus, the purchase accounting effect increased EBITDA in the second quarter of 2015 by $6.1 million above what the historical basis of accounting would have generated. The impact of purchase accounting has been reversed to reflect an adjusted EBITDA without the purchase accounting effect.

The consolidated non-corporate and non-acquisition related interest expense is subtracted from EBITDA to arrive at Adjusted EBITDA. This includes interest expense associated with asset-specific debt at subsidiaries in the Specialty Finance and Real Estate. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, interest expense for the asset-specific debt was $1.3 million for Specialty Finance, $3.0 million for Real Estate and $83 thousand for Corporate and other, totaling $4.4 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, interest expense for the asset-specific debt was 455 thousand for Specialty Finance, $2.0 million for Real Estate, and $527.0 thousand for Corporate and Other segments, totaling $2.9 million.

Tiptree’s purchase of Fortegra resulted in a number of purchase accounting adjustments being made as of the date of acquisition, which included setting deferred cost assets to a fair value of zero, modifying deferred revenue liabilities to their respective fair values, and recording a substantial intangible asset representing the value of the acquired insurance policies and contracts. Following the purchase accounting adjustments, current period expenses associated with deferred costs were more favorably stated by $20.3 million and current period income associated with deferred revenues were less favorably stated by $4.7 million. Thus, the purchase accounting effect increased EBITDA in the second half of 2015 by $15.6 million above what the historical basis of accounting would have generated. The impact of purchase accounting has been reversed to reflect an adjusted EBITDA without the purchase accounting effect.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Tiptree is a holding company and its liquidly needs are primarily for interest payments on the Fortress credit facility, compensation, professional fees, office rent and insurance costs.

The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are its holdings of cash, cash equivalents and other liquid investments and distributions from operating subsidiaries and principal investments, including subordinated notes of CLOs. The Company intends to use its cash resources to continue to grow its businesses. Tiptree may seek additional sources of cash to fund acquisitions or

Page 19



investments. These additional sources of cash may take the form of debt or equity and may be at the parent, subsidiary or asset level.

The ability of Tiptree’s subsidiaries to generate sufficient net income and cash flows to make cash distributions will be subject to numerous business and other factors, including restrictions contained in our subsidiaries’ financing agreements, regulatory restrictions, availability of sufficient funds at such subsidiaries, general economic and business conditions, tax considerations, strategic plans, financial results and other factors such as target capital ratios and ratio levels anticipated by rating agencies to maintain or improve current ratings.

We expect our cash and cash equivalents and distributions from operating subsidiaries and principal investments and our subsidiaries access to financing to be adequate to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months.

At June 30, 2015, the Company had unrestricted cash of $170.1 million, a net increase of $123.7 million from March 31, 2015. The primary components of the increase are discussed below.

During the second quarter of 2015, the Company received $142.8 million of cash (prior to payment of taxes) from the sale of PFG. Under the terms of the Fortress credit agreement, the Company used $25 million of the proceeds of the sale of PFG to repay borrowings under the Fortress credit agreement. In addition, taxes associated with the sale of PFG are expected to be approximately $25.9 million. For additional information, see Note 5-Dispositions, Asset Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations and Note 23-Income Taxes, in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

During the second quarter of 2015, the Company sold all its holdings of the subordinated notes of Telos 2 and Telos 4 for a total of $39.7 million. As a consequence of the sale, the Company will not receive any future distributions on the subordinated notes of Telos 2 and Telos 4. For the fiscal year 2014, distributions from the subordinated notes of Telos 2 and Telos 4 were $13.6 million of the total distributions of $16.1 million of all subordinated notes held by the Company.

The amounts associated with operating, investing and financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 from discontinued operations are presented as a component of the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows.
Operating Activities

Cash used for operating activities was $7.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $57.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, a change of $65.1 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, net cash provided by operating activities of VIE’s was $17.0 million and net cash used for discontinued operations was $6.2 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, net cash used by operating activities of VIEs was $625 thousand and cash used by discontinued operations was $3.6 million. Excluding the activity attributable to the VIEs and discontinued operations, net cash used for continuing operating activities was $18.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to cash provided of $61.7 million for the same period in 2014, a decline of $80.1 million. Cash used for continuing operating activities in the first half of 2015 was primarily driven by increases in Fortegra’s reinsurance receivables of $35.3 million, increases in Luxury’s loans held for sale of $20.8 million, increases in deferred tax benefits of $11.1 million and by increases in other assets of $57.5 million. The increases in other assets held by the Company at June 30, 2015 principally consisted of premium receivables and deferred acquisition costs at Fortegra. Partly offsetting these increases in assets were increases in other liabilities and accrued expenses of $50.2 million and an increase in Fortegra’s unearned premiums of $33.7 million.

Investing Activities

Cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $26.9 million, compared to cash used of $234.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $261.4 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, cash provided by VIE investing activities was $58.0 million and cash provided by discontinued operations was $11.9 million as compared with $298.2 million in cash used for VIE investing activities and $8.4 million cash provided by discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Excluding VIE and discontinued operations investing activity, cash used for investing activities was $42.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to cash provided for investing activities of $55.3 million for the same period in 2014, a decrease of $98.2 million. Cash used for investing activities in 2015 was largely comprised of purchases of real estate of $83.7 million, purchases of available for sale securities of $28.4 million, and purchases of trading securities and loans carried at fair value of $64.2 million. The increase in purchases of real estate were largely the result of new joint ventures and triple net lease deals entered into by Care in 2015. These purchases were partly offset by proceeds from the sale of PFG of $113.8 million and proceeds from maturities of available for sale securities of $16.4 million.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $69.4 million, compared to cash provided of $178.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of $109.1 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, cash used for VIE financing activities was $22.1 million and cash used for discontinued financing activities was $5.0 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, cash provided by VIE financing activities was $280.0 million and cash used for discontinued investing activities was $3.0 million. Excluding the activity attributable to VIEs and discontinued operations, cash provided by financing activities for the six months ending June 30, 2015 was $96.5 million, compared to cash used for financing activities of $98.5 million during the same period in 2014, an increase of $195.0 million. The cash provided by financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2015 was largely due to the proceeds from new borrowings, partly offset by principal repayments. Proceeds from borrowings, net of principal repayments, were $101.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to net repayments of $98.2 million in six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in net new borrowings in 2015 is largely due to net increases in borrowings at Siena and Luxury to fund their lending activities and from mortgage notes taken on by Care to fund their property acquisitions.

Fortegra has $35.0 million of fixed/floating rate trust preferred securities due June 15, 2037. The trust preferred securities bear interest at a floating rate of 3-month LIBOR plus the annual base rate of 4.10%. Interest is payable quarterly. In 2012, Fortegra entered into an interest rate swap that exchanges the floating rate for a fixed rate, as further described in Note 14—Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging. The Company may redeem the trust preferred securities, in whole or in part, at a price equal to the full outstanding principal amount of such trust preferred securities outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Non-recourse CLO notes payable principal is payable at stated maturity, 2021 for Telos 1, 2022 for Telos 2, 2024 for Telos 3 and Telos 4, 2025 for Telos 5 and 2027 for Telos 6.
(4)
On September 18, 2013, Operating Company entered into a credit agreement with Fortress and borrowed $50.0 million under the credit agreement. The credit agreement also included an option for Operating Company to borrow additional amounts up to a maximum aggregate of $125.0 million, subject to satisfaction of certain customary conditions. On January 26, 2015, Tiptree entered into a First Amendment to its existing Fortress credit agreement (the “Amendment”) providing for additional term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million to Tiptree. Tiptree paid down $25.0 million of the loans under the Fortress credit agreement upon the closing of the PFG sale on June 30, 2015 (see Note 15—Debt, in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, for further detail).
On July 25, 2013, Siena closed on a line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank. As of June 30, 2015 this revolving line is $65.0 million with an interest rate of LIBOR plus 250 basis points and a maturity date of October 17, 2016. As of June 30, 2015, there was $38.3 million outstanding on this line (see Note 15—Debt, in the accompanying consolidated financial statements).
On April 9, 2015, Siena entered into a $3.5 million subordinated promissory note with Solaia Credit Strategies LLC, an affiliate of Solaia Capital Management LLC, which owns approximately 38% of Siena. $1.5 million of this note was funded on April 9, 2015 and the remainder was funded on May 14, 2015. The note has a maturity of April 9, 2020 or six months following maturity of the Wells Fargo facility described above. The note has an interest rate of 12.50%. Siena may prepay the note following the first anniversary of issuance but is required to pay a prepayment premium expensed as a percentage of the prepayment amount as follows: 3% prior to the second anniversary of issuance; 2% after the second but before the third anniversary and 1% after the third but before the fourth anniversary.

(“LOTS”), as borrowers (Fortegra and LOTS, collectively, the “Borrowers”); (ii) the initial lenders named therein; and (iii) Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, swingline lender, and issuing lender. The Credit Agreement provides for a $50.0 million term loan facility and a $90.0 million revolving credit facility. Subject to earlier termination, the Credit Agreement terminates on December 4, 2019. The weighted average rate paid for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was 3.18%. The Borrowers are required to repay the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the initial $50.0 million term loan facility in consecutive quarterly installments of $1.25 million commencing March 2015.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates as discussed in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Standards

For a discussion of recently adopted and issued accounting standards see the section “Recent Accounting Standards” in Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Luxury enters into contractual commitments to extend credit, normally with fixed expiration dates or termination clauses, at specified rates and for specific purposes, as well as commitments to sell real estate loans to various investors. Substantially all of Luxury’s commitments to extend credit are contingent upon customers maintaining specific credit standards at the time of loan funding. In addition, Siena issues standby letters of credit to customers which generally guarantee the borrower’s performance. Other than these commitments to originate and sell loans and letters of credit, the Company did not guarantee any obligations of unconsolidated entities, or express intent to provide additional funding to any such entities. Other than the consolidation of Telos 1, Telos 2, Telos 3, Telos 4, Telos 5 and Telos 6, Tiptree does not maintain any other relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, special purpose or VIEs, established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As of June 30, 2015, Tiptree did not guarantee any obligations of unconsolidated entities, enter into any commitments or express intent to provide additional funding to any such entities.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information contained in this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of its Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer acting as the principal accounting officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2015. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer have concluded that, because the remediation measures designed to address the material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting described below have not yet been fully implemented or sufficiently tested, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2015.

All systems of internal control, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems deemed to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting based upon the framework in the 2013 Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. If we identify any material weaknesses, the rules do not allow the Company to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is effective.

As of June 30, 2015, the Company identified internal control deficiencies relating to the review of (1) the Company’s accounting for income taxes, (2) the presentation and classification of cash flow statement amounts and (3) acquisition related accounting. The Company believes these deficiencies were the result of staffing levels in the Company’s accounting and finance group at that time, including staff turnover during the first quarter of 2015. The aggregate of these internal control deficiencies resulted in a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2015. The Company made corrections in the current period related to income taxes, cash flow reclassifications and acquisition related accounting. The Company has determined that corrections in the prior periods were immaterial.


Page 23


To remediate the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described above, the Company is executing on its pre-existing plan to replace departed staff and to add additional accounting resources. Specifically, the Company has taken the following steps to remediate the internal control deficiencies described above (1) hired additional accounting and finance staff, including a Chief Financial Officer to replace the Chief Financial Officer who departed in the first quarter of 2015, a Vice President, Tax, and a Vice President, SOX Compliance and Risk Management, (2) added procedures to review the Company’s accounting for income taxes (3) added procedures to reconcile the presentation and classification of cash flow statement amounts and (4) added procedures to review the Company’s acquisition related accounting. The Company has identified and is pursuing the hiring of additional accounting and finance staff to further assist in the preparation and review of its financial information. The Company is committed to achieving and maintaining a strong internal control environment and believes that these remediation efforts will result in significant improvements in our controls during the current fiscal year. This commitment is accompanied by management’s focus on processes and related controls to achieve accurate and reliable financial reporting. The Company has begun to implement the remediation efforts described above; however until the remediation actions are fully implemented and the operational effectiveness of related internal controls validated through testing, the material weakness described above will continue to exist.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Tiptree’s Fortegra subsidiary is a defendant in Mullins v. Southern Financial Life Insurance Co., which was filed on February 2, 2006, in the Pike Circuit Court, in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. A class was certified on June 25, 2010. At issue is the duration or term of coverage under certain policies. The action alleges violations of the Consumer Protection Act and certain insurance statutes, as well as common law fraud. The action seeks compensatory and punitive damages, attorney fees and interest. Plaintiffs filed a Motion for Sanctions on April 5, 2012 in connection with Fortegra's efforts to locate and gather certificates and other documents from Fortegra's agents. While the court did not award sanctions, it did order Fortegra to subpoena certain records from its agents. Although Fortegra appealed the order on numerous grounds, the Kentucky Supreme Court ultimately denied the appeal in April 2014. Consequently, Fortegra has retained a special master to facilitate the collection of certificates and other documents from Fortegra's agents. On January 29, 2015, the trial court issued an Order denying Fortegra’s motion to decertify the class, which Fortegra has appealed. On July 8, 2015, the Kentucky Court of Appeals denied Fortegra’s appeal, on the grounds that the court lacked subject-matter jurisdiction. No trial or hearings are currently scheduled in this matter.

In management's opinion, based on information available at this time, the ultimate resolution of such litigation, which it is vigorously defending, should not be materially adverse to the financial position of Tiptree. It should be noted that large punitive damage awards, bearing little relation to actual damages sustained by plaintiffs, have been awarded in certain states against other companies in the credit insurance business. At this time, the Company cannot estimate a range of loss that is reasonably possible.

Tiptree and its subsidiaries are parties to other legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. Although Tiptree’s legal and financial liability with respect to such proceedings cannot be estimated with certainty, Tiptree does not believe that these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, are likely to have a material adverse effect on Tiptree’s financial position or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

For information regarding factors that could affect our Company, results of operations and financial condition, see the risk factors discussed under Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. There has been no material change in those risk factors.

On December 4, 2014, Tiptree Financial engaged a broker in connection with a share repurchase program for the repurchase of up to $2.5 million of its outstanding Class A common stock. In addition, on the same date, Michael Barnes, Tiptree Financial’s Executive Chairman, entered into a Rule 10b5-1 plan pursuant to which he will, for his own account, purchase up to $2.5 million of Tiptree Financial’s outstanding Class A common stock. Repurchases by Tiptree Financial and purchases by Mr. Barnes will be made through a single broker and is anticipated to be allocated equally between Tiptree Financial and Mr. Barnes (or to Tiptree Financial in the case of trades that cannot be split evenly). The Company expects the share purchases to be made from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, subject to applicable laws and regulations. Unless otherwise completed or terminated earlier, the repurchase program will expire on November 18, 2015.

The Company and Mr. Barnes continued to purchase shares under the share repurchase program through and until July 2, 2015 when the aggregate $5 million of Tiptree Class A common Stock had been purchased, thereby completing the share repurchase program.
