NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. General

The consolidated financial statements of First Acceptance Corporation (the “Company”) included herein have been prepared without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been omitted. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the interim periods. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s consolidated financial statements to conform with the current year presentation.

The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

2. Fair Value

Fair value is the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are generally based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are based on market data from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s view of market assumptions in the absence of observable market information. All assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

Level 1 -	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 -	Quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices by independent pricing services for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and valuations, using models or other valuation techniques, that use observable market data. All significant inputs are observable, or derived from observable information in the marketplace, or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the market place.
Level 3 -	Instruments that use non-binding broker quotes, model driven valuations that do not have observable market data or those that are estimated based on an ownership interest to which a proportionate share of net assets is attributed.

The Company categorizes valuation methods used in its identifiable intangible assets impairment tests as Level 3. To determine the fair value of acquired trademarks and trade names, the Company uses the relief-from-royalty method, which requires the Company to estimate the future revenue for the related brands, the appropriate royalty rate and the weighted average cost of capital. The Company also categorizes valuation methods used to fair value its investments in limited partnerships as Level 3, since the Company uses an estimate based on its ownership interest to which a proportionate share of the partners’ net assets is attributed.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying values and fair values of certain of the Company’s financial instruments were as follows (in thousands).

The fair values as presented represent the Company’s best estimates and may not be substantiated by comparisons to independent markets. The fair value of the debentures payable was based on current market rates offered for debt with similar risks and maturities. Carrying values of certain financial instruments, such as cash and cash equivalents and premiums and fees receivable, approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments and are not required to be disclosed. Therefore, the aggregate of the fair values presented in the preceding table do not purport to represent the Company’s underlying value.

The Company holds available-for-sale investments and limited partnership interests, which are carried at fair value. The following tables present the fair-value measurements for each major category of assets that are measured on a recurring basis (in thousands).

The fair values of the Company’s investments are determined by management after taking into consideration available sources of data. All of the portfolio valuations classified as Level 1 or Level 2 in the above tables are priced exclusively by utilizing the services of independent pricing sources using observable market data. The Level 2 classified security valuations are obtained from a single independent pricing service. The Level 3 classified securities in the table above consist of limited partnership interests for which fair value is estimated based on the Company’s ownership interest in partners’ capital. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period. The Company has not made any adjustments to the prices obtained from the independent pricing sources.

The Company has reviewed the pricing techniques and methodologies of the independent pricing service for Level 2 investments and believes that its policies adequately consider market activity, either based on specific transactions for the security valued or based on modeling of securities with similar credit quality, duration, yield and structure that were recently traded. The Company monitored security-specific valuation trends and has made inquiries with the pricing service about material changes or the absence of expected changes to understand the underlying factors and inputs and to validate the reasonableness of the pricing.

Based on the above categorization, there were no Level 3 classified security valuations at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2012 and 2011, nor any transfers into or out of Level 3 during these periods. At June 30, 2013, the Level 3 classification was the result of purchases during the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Limited partnership interests consist of investments in two private equity ventures that invest in small balance distressed secured loans and securities and international equity, respectively. These investments have redemption restrictions. However, the Company does not intend to sell these limited partnership interests, and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell them before the expiration of such restrictions. At June 30, 2013, the Company had unfunded commitments of $3.8 million to its limited partnership interests.

Restrictions

At June 30, 2013, fixed maturities and cash equivalents with a fair value and amortized cost of $5.3 million were on deposit with various insurance departments as a requirement of doing business in those states. Cash equivalents with a fair value and amortized cost of $9.4 million were on deposit with another insurance company as collateral for an assumed reinsurance contract.

	$	(55	)	$	(19	)	$	(42	)	$	7

Realized gains and losses on sales and redemptions are computed based on specific identification. The non-credit related portion of other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) charges is included in other comprehensive income (loss). The amounts of non-credit OTTI for securities still owned was $1.0 million for non-agency backed residential collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) and $0.2 million related to non-agency backed commercial CMOs at both June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 320-10, the Company separates OTTI into the following two components: (i) the amount related to credit losses, which is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and (ii) the amount related to all other factors, which is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). The credit-related portion of an OTTI is measured by comparing a security’s amortized cost to the present value of its current expected cash flows discounted at its effective yield prior to the impairment charge.

The determination of whether unrealized losses are “other-than-temporary” requires judgment based on subjective as well as objective factors. The Company routinely monitors its investment portfolio for changes in fair value that might indicate potential impairments and performs detailed reviews on such securities. Changes in fair value are evaluated to determine the extent to which such changes are attributable to (i) fundamental factors specific to the issuer or (ii) market-related factors such as interest rates or sector declines.

Securities with declines attributable to issuer-specific fundamentals are reviewed to identify all available evidence to estimate the potential for impairment. Resources used include historical financial data included in filings with the SEC for corporate bonds and performance data regarding the underlying loans for CMOs. Securities with declines attributable solely to market or sector declines where the Company does not intend to sell the security and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell the security before the full recovery of its amortized cost basis are not deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

FIRST ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(Unaudited)

The issuer-specific factors considered in reaching the conclusion that securities with declines are not other-than-temporary include (i) the extent and duration of the decline in fair value, including the duration of any significant decline in value, (ii) whether the security is current as to payments of principal and interest, (iii) a valuation of any underlying collateral, (iv) current and future conditions and trends for both the business and its industry, (v) changes in cash flow assumptions for CMOs and (vi) rating agency actions. Based on these factors, the Company makes a determination as to the probability of recovering principal and interest on the security.

The number and amount of securities for which the Company has recognized OTTI charges in net income (loss) are presented in the following tables (in thousands, except for the number of securities).

On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews cash flow estimates for certain non-agency backed CMOs of lesser credit quality following the guidance of FASB ASC 325-40, Investments - Other - Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets (“FASB ASC 325-40”). Accordingly, when changes in estimated cash flows occur due to actual or estimated prepayment or credit loss experience, and the present value of the revised cash flows is less than the present value previously estimated, OTTI is deemed to have occurred. For non-agency backed CMOs

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(Unaudited)

not subject to FASB ASC 325-40, the Company reviews quarterly projected cash flow analyses and recognizes OTTI when it determines that a loss is probable. The Company has recognized OTTI related to certain non-agency backed CMOs as the underlying cash flows have been adversely impacted due to a reduction in prepayments from mortgage refinancing and an increase in actual and projected delinquencies in the underlying mortgages.

The Company’s review of non-agency backed CMOs included an analysis of available information such as collateral quality, anticipated cash flows, credit enhancements, default rates, loss severities, the securities’ relative position in their respective capital structures, and credit ratings from statistical rating agencies. The Company reviews quarterly projected cash flow analyses for each security utilizing current assumptions regarding (i) actual and anticipated delinquencies, (ii) delinquency transition-to-default rates and (iii) loss severities. Based on its quarterly reviews, the Company determined that there had not been an adverse change in projected cash flows, except in the case of those securities for which OTTI charges have been recorded. The Company believes that the unrealized losses on the remaining non-agency backed securities for which OTTI charges have not been recorded are not necessarily predictive of the ultimate performance of the underlying collateral. The Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell these securities before the recovery of their amortized cost basis.

The Company believes that the remaining securities having unrealized losses at June 30, 2013 were not other-than-temporarily impaired. The Company also does not intend to sell any of these securities and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell any of these securities before the recovery of their amortized cost basis.

4. Net Income (Loss) Per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share (in thousands, except per share data).

	Three Months Ended June 30,					Six Months Ended June 30,
	2013		2012			2013		2012
Net income (loss)	$	2,066	$	(4,208	)	$	4,090	$	(12,415	)

Effect of dilutive securities		27		—			27		—
Weighted average common dilutive shares		40,948		40,852			40,942		40,847
Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share	$	0.05	$	(0.10	)	$	0.10	$	(0.30	)

For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, 27 thousand shares of unvested restricted common stock were included in the computation of diluted income per share. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the computation of diluted net loss per share did not include 0.1 million shares of unvested restricted common stock as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. Options to purchase approximately 1.3 million and 5.3 million shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, were also not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share as their exercise prices were in excess of the average stock prices for the periods presented.

The provision (benefit) for income taxes differs from the amounts computed by applying the statutory federal corporate tax rate of 35% to loss before income taxes as a result of the following (in thousands).

	$	188		$	(262	)	$	281		$	(183	)

The Company had a valuation allowance of $28.2 million and $28.4 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The change in the total valuation allowance for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was a decrease of $0.2 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the change in the valuation allowance included an increase of $1.4 million related to unrealized change in investments included in other comprehensive income (loss).

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considered whether it was more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company is required to assess whether a valuation allowance should be established against the Company’s net deferred tax assets based on the consideration of all available evidence using a more likely than not standard. In making such judgments, significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified. In assessing the Company’s ability to support the realizability of its deferred tax assets, management considered both positive and negative evidence. The Company placed greater weight on historical results than on the Company’s outlook for future profitability and established a deferred tax valuation allowance at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The deferred tax valuation allowance may be adjusted in future periods if management determines that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. In the event the deferred tax valuation allowance is adjusted, the Company would record an income tax benefit for the adjustment.

General

We are principally a retailer, servicer and underwriter of non-standard personal automobile insurance. We also own two tracts of land in San Antonio, Texas that are held for sale. Non-standard personal automobile insurance is made available to individuals who are categorized as “non-standard” because of their inability or unwillingness to obtain standard insurance coverage due to various factors, including payment history, payment preference, failure in the past to maintain continuous insurance coverage, driving record and/or vehicle type.

FIRST ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION 10-Q

At June 30, 2013, we leased and operated 366 retail locations (or “stores”) staffed by employee-agents who primarily sell non-standard personal automobile insurance products underwritten by us as well as certain commissionable ancillary products. In most states, our employee-agents also sell a complementary tenant homeowner insurance product underwritten by us. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2013, select retail locations in highly competitive markets in Illinois and Texas began offering non-standard personal automobile insurance serviced and underwritten by other third-party insurance carriers. At June 30, 2013, we wrote non-standard personal automobile insurance in 12 states and were licensed in 13 additional states. See the discussion in Item 1. “Business - General” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 for additional information with respect to our business.

Consolidated Results of Operations

Overview

Our primary focus is selling, servicing and underwriting non-standard personal automobile insurance. Our real estate and corporate segment consists of activities related to the disposition of real estate held for sale, interest expense associated with debt, and other general corporate overhead expenses. Our insurance operations generate revenues from selling, servicing and underwriting non-standard personal automobile insurance policies and related products in 12 states. We conduct our underwriting operations through three insurance company subsidiaries: First Acceptance Insurance Company, Inc., First Acceptance Insurance Company of Georgia, Inc. and First Acceptance Insurance Company of Tennessee, Inc. Our insurance revenues are primarily generated from:

• premiums earned, including policy and renewal fees, from sales of policies written and assumed by our insurance company subsidiaries;

• commission and fee income, including installment billing fees on policies written, agency fees and commissions and fees for other ancillary products and policies sold on behalf of third-party insurance carriers; and

• investment income earned on the invested assets of the insurance company subsidiaries.

The following table presents gross premiums earned by state (in thousands). Driven by improvements in sales execution, a higher percentage of full coverage policies sold and rate increases taken in most states, net premiums earned for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 increased 9.3% and 9.0%, respectively, compared with the same periods in the prior year. The changes in premiums earned in Illinois and Texas for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 were adversely impacted by the increase in policies sold on behalf of third party carriers which generate commission and fee income instead of premiums earned.

The following table presents the change in the total number of policies in force (“PIF”) for the insurance operations, including policies underwritten on behalf of third party carriers. PIF increases as a result of new policies issued and decreases as a result of policies that are canceled or expire and are not renewed. At June 30, 2013, PIF was 2.1% higher than at the same date in the prior year.

The following tables present total PIF for the insurance operations segregated by policies that were sold through retail locations, independent agents, call center and website, and include those sold on behalf of third party carriers. For our retail locations, PIF are further segregated by (i) new and renewal and (ii) liability-only or full coverage. New policies are defined as those policies issued to both first-time customers and customers who have reinstated a lapsed or cancelled policy. Renewal policies are those policies which renewed after completing their full uninterrupted policy term. Liability-only policies are defined as those policies including only bodily injury (or no-fault) and property damage coverages, which are the required coverages in most states. The PIF for policies sold through our call center and website grew to 3,535; representing 2.2% of total PIF at June 30, 2013, compared with 0.6% at the same date in the prior year.

Insurance companies present a combined ratio as a measure of their overall underwriting profitability. The components of the combined ratio are as follows.

Loss Ratio - Loss ratio is the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred to premiums earned and is a basic element of underwriting profitability. We calculate this ratio based on all direct and assumed premiums earned, net of ceded reinsurance.

Expense Ratio - Expense ratio is the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of insurance operating expenses to net premiums earned. Insurance operating expenses are reduced by commission and fee income from insureds. This is a measurement that illustrates relative management efficiency in administering our operations.

Combined Ratio - Combined ratio is the sum of the loss ratio and the expense ratio. If the combined ratio is at or above 100%, an insurance company cannot be profitable without sufficient investment income.

Operational Initiatives

Since the beginning of 2012, we renewed our focus on improving the customer experience and value through several initiatives. Through July 2013, our progress has included:

• investment in our sales organization to improve the quality and consistency of the customer experience in our retail stores,

• continued development of our brand,

• investment in rebranding our store fronts and refurbishing our store interiors,

• development of electronic signature capabilities, thereby enabling most customers to receive quotes and bind policies over the phone and through our website,

• development of a consumer-based website that reflects our branding strategy, improves the customer experience, and allows for full-service capabilities including quoting, binding and receiving payments,

• launch of our trial implementation of sales of third party carrier automobile insurance to select Illinois and Texas locations where pricing is highly competitive,

• development of an internet-specific sales strategy to drive quote traffic to our website,

• expanded our call center processes and people in order to better support our phone sales efforts, and

• launched the sale of a complementary term life insurance product through our retail stores.

Moving forward, we continue to believe that our retail stores are the foundation of our business, providing an opportunity for us to directly interact with our customers on a regular basis. We also recognize that customer preferences have changed and that we need to adapt to meet those needs. For that reason, we will continue to invest in our people, retail stores, website and call center initiatives, and our customer interaction efforts in order to improve the customer experience. Our current initiatives include:

• expansion of our potential customer base through enhancements to our insurance products,

• continued investment and refinement of our internet-specific sales strategy,

• continued investment and development of our website’s full-service capabilities, and

• continued assessment and possible expansion of sales of third party carrier auto insurance in select locations where pricing is highly competitive.

Investments

We use the services of an independent investment manager to manage our investment portfolio. The investment manager conducts, in accordance with our investment policy, all of the investment purchases and sales for our insurance company subsidiaries. Our investment policy has been established by the Investment Committee of our Board of Directors and specifically addresses overall investment goals and objectives, authorized investments, prohibited securities, restrictions on sales by the investment manager and guidelines as to asset allocation, duration and credit quality. Management and the Investment Committee meet regularly with our investment manager to review the performance of the portfolio and compliance with our investment guidelines.

The invested assets of the insurance company subsidiaries consist substantially of marketable, investment grade debt securities, and include U.S. government securities, municipal bonds, corporate bonds and collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”). Investment income is comprised primarily of interest earned on these securities, net of related investment expenses. Realized gains and losses may occur from time to time as changes are made to our holdings based upon changes in interest rates or the credit quality of specific securities.

The value of our consolidated available-for-sale investment portfolio was $132.8 million at June 30, 2013 and consisted of fixed maturity securities and investments in mutual funds, all carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. At June 30, 2013, we had gross unrealized gains of $6.6 million and gross unrealized losses of $1.9 million in our consolidated investment portfolio.

At June 30, 2013, 84% of the fair value of our fixed maturity portfolio was rated “investment grade” (a credit rating of AAA to BBB-) by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. Investment grade securities generally bear lower yields and have lower degrees of risk than those that are unrated or non-investment grade. We believe that a high quality investment portfolio is more likely to generate a stable and predictable investment return.

Investments in CMOs had a fair value of $19.3 million at June 30, 2013 and represented 15% of our fixed maturity portfolio. At June 30, 2013, 71% of our CMOs were considered investment grade by nationally recognized statistical rating agencies and 49% were backed by agencies of the United States government.

Insurance Operations

Revenues from insurance operations were $62.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared with $57.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Revenues from insurance operations were $121.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared with $113.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Income before income taxes from insurance operations for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $2.9 million, compared with loss before income taxes from insurance operations of $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Income before income taxes from insurance operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $5.8 million, compared with loss before income taxes from insurance operations of $9.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Premiums Earned

Premiums earned increased by $4.4 million, or 9%, to $52.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from $47.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, premiums earned increased by $8.4 million, or 9%, to $101.5 million from $93.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. This improvement was primarily due to the continued sales, marketing, customer interaction and product initiatives, in addition to our recent pricing actions.

Commission and Fee Income

Commission and fee income increased 8% to $9.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from $8.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, commission and fee income increased 6% to $17.8 million from $16.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. This increase in commission and fee income was a result of higher fee income related to commissionable products sold on behalf of third-party insurance carriers sold through our retail locations.

FIRST ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION 10-Q

Investment Income

Investment income decreased to $1.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $1.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2012. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, investment income decreased to $2.5 million from $3.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012. This decrease in investment income was primarily a result of the low-yielding reinvestment opportunities for both portfolio maturities and the proceeds from the sale in September 2012 of $29.6 million of corporate bonds in order to increase the statutory surplus of the insurance company subsidiaries. At June 30, 2013 and 2012, the tax-equivalent book yields for our fixed maturities portfolio were 3.1% and 4.4%, respectively, with effective durations of 2.98 and 3.05 years, respectively.

Net realized gains (losses) on investments, available-for-sale

Net realized losses on investments, available-for-sale during the three months ended June 30, 2013 included $55 thousand of net realized losses on redemptions. Net realized losses on investments, available-for-sale during the three months ended June 30, 2012 primarily included $15 thousand of charges related to other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) on certain non-agency backed CMOs .

For the six months ended June 30, 2013 net realized losses on investments, available-for-sale included $14 thousand in net realized losses on redemptions and $28 thousand of charges related to OTTI on certain non-agency backed CMOs. Net realized gains on investments, available-for-sale during the six months ended June 30, 2012 included $23 thousand in net realized gains on redemptions and $16 thousand of charges related to OTTI on certain non-agency backed CMOs. For additional information with respect to the determination of OTTI losses on investment securities, see Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements.

Loss and Loss Adjustment Expenses

The loss and loss adjustment expense ratio was 75.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared with 83.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The loss and loss adjustment expense ratio was 71.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared with 84.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2012. We experienced favorable development related to prior periods of $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared with unfavorable development of $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, we experienced favorable development related to prior periods of $2.5 million, compared with unfavorable development of $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The favorable development for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 was primarily due to lower than expected development related to property damage liability and no-fault claims that occurred in calendar year 2012, as well as lower than expected development related to bodily injury claims that occurred in calendar years 2011 and 2012.

Excluding the development related to prior periods, the loss and loss adjustment expense ratios for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were 77.8% and 81.5%, respectively. Excluding the development related to prior periods, the loss and loss adjustment expense ratios for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were 74.0% and 80.1%, respectively. The year-over-year decrease in the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio was primarily due to the impact of pricing actions taken throughout 2012.

Operating Expenses

Insurance operating expenses decreased 4% to $19.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $20.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, insurance operating expenses decreased 3% to $42.2 million from $43.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. These decreases were a result of savings realized from the closure of underperforming stores in addition to efficiencies resulting from our operational initiatives.

The expense ratio was 20.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared with 25.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The expense ratio was 24.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared with 28.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The year-over-year decrease in the expense ratio was primarily due to the increase in premiums earned which resulted in a lower percentage of fixed expenses in our retail operations (such as rent and base salary).

22

FIRST ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION 10-Q

Overall, the combined ratio decreased to 95.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from 109.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2012. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the combined ratio decreased to 95.6% from 113.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared with the benefit for income taxes of $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the provision for income taxes was $0.3 million compared with the benefit for income taxes of $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The provision (benefit) for income taxes related to current state income taxes for certain subsidiaries with taxable income. The provision (benefit) for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 included adjustments that reduced certain state income taxes. At June 30, 2013 and 2012, we established a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In assessing our ability to support the realizability of our deferred tax assets, we considered both positive and negative evidence. We placed greater weight on historical results than on our outlook for future profitability. The deferred tax valuation allowance may be adjusted in future periods if we determine that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. In the event the deferred tax valuation allowance is adjusted, we would record an income tax benefit for the adjustment.

Real Estate and Corporate

Loss before income taxes from real estate and corporate operations for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $0.7 million, compared with a loss before income taxes from real estate and corporate operations of $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Loss before income taxes from real estate and corporate operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $1.4 million, compared with a loss before income taxes from real estate and corporate operations of $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Segment losses consist of other operating expenses not directly related to our insurance operations, interest expense and stock-based compensation offset by investment income on corporate invested assets. We incurred $0.4 million and $1.0 million of interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to debentures issued in July 2007. We incurred $0.8 million and $2.0 million of interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to debentures issued in July 2007. The decrease in interest expense was due to the contractual interest rate related to the debentures decreasing effective August 2012. For additional information, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in this report.

FIRST ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION 10-Q

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of funds are premiums, fees and investment income from our insurance company subsidiaries and commissions and fee income from our non-insurance company subsidiaries. Our primary uses of funds are the payment of claims and operating expenses. Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $15.6 million, compared with net cash used in operating activities of $1.0 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year. Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was primarily the result of loss for the period partially offset by the increase in policy liabilities for losses and unearned premiums as a result of the increase in premiums written. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $0.3 million, compared with net cash provided by investing activities of $9.0 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 included net reductions in our investment portfolio of $0.3 million and $11.9 million, respectively. The net reductions in our investment portfolio in both periods were primarily a result of maturities and redemptions in excess of purchases. Investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2013 also included capital expenditures primarily related to system enhancements of $0.6 million as compared to $2.8 million in the same period in the prior year.

Our holding company requires cash for general corporate overhead expenses and for debt service related to our debentures payable. The holding company’s primary source of unrestricted cash to meet its obligations is the sale of ancillary products to our insureds and, if necessary and available subject to state law limitations, the holding company may receive dividends from our insurance company subsidiaries. The holding company also receives cash from operating activities as a result of investment income. Through an intercompany tax allocation arrangement, taxable losses of the holding company provide cash to the holding company to the extent that taxable income is generated by the insurance company subsidiaries. At June 30, 2013, we had $5.4 million available in unrestricted cash and investments outside of the insurance company subsidiaries. These funds and the additional unrestricted cash from the sources noted above will be used to pay our future cash requirements outside of the insurance company subsidiaries.

The holding company has debt service requirements related to the debentures payable. The debentures are interest-only and mature in full in July 2037. The debentures paid a fixed rate of 9.277% until July 30, 2012, after which time the rate became variable (Three-Month LIBOR plus 375 basis points). The interest rate related to the debentures was 4.026% for the period from April 2013 to July 2013 at which time the interest rate will reset to 4.015% through October 2013.

State insurance laws limit the amount of dividends that may be paid from our insurance company subsidiaries. At June 30, 2013, our insurance company subsidiaries could not pay ordinary dividends without prior regulatory approval due to a negative earned surplus position.

The National Association of Insurance Commissioners Model Act for risk-based capital provides formulas to determine each December 31 on an annual basis the amount of statutory capital and surplus that an insurance company needs to ensure that it has an acceptable expectation of not becoming financially impaired. There are also statutory guidelines that suggest that on an annual calendar year basis an insurance company should not exceed a ratio of net premiums written to statutory capital and surplus of 3-to-1. On a combined basis, the ratios for our insurance company subsidiaries of net premiums written for the last twelve months to statutory capital and surplus were 2.11-to-1 at June 30, 2013. Based on our current forecast on a combined basis, we anticipate that our risk-based capital levels will be adequate and that our ratio of net premiums written to statutory capital and surplus will not exceed the 3-to-1 statutory guideline for the reasonably foreseeable future. We therefore believe that our insurance company subsidiaries have sufficient statutory capital and surplus available to support their net premium writings in this time frame.

We believe that existing cash and investment balances, when combined with anticipated cash flows as noted above, will be adequate to meet our expected liquidity needs, for both the holding company and our insurance company subsidiaries, in both the short-term and the reasonably foreseeable future. Any future growth strategy may require external financing, and we may from time to time seek to obtain external financing. We cannot assure that additional sources of financing will be available to us on favorable terms, or at all, or that any such financing would not negatively impact our results of operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any new off-balance sheet arrangements since December 31, 2012. For information with respect to our off-balance sheet arrangements at December 31, 2012, see Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Critical Accounting Estimates

There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with those disclosed in Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Estimates” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk represents the potential economic loss arising from adverse changes in the fair value of financial instruments. Our exposures to market risk relate primarily to our investment portfolio, which is exposed primarily to interest rate risk and credit risk. The fair value of our investment portfolio is directly impacted by changes in market interest rates; generally, the fair value of fixed-income investments moves inversely with movements in market interest rates. Our fixed maturity portfolio is comprised of substantially all fixed rate investments with primarily short-term and intermediate-term maturities. Likewise, the underlying investments of our mutual fund investments are also primarily fixed-income investments. This portfolio composition allows flexibility in reacting to fluctuations of interest rates. The portfolios of our insurance company subsidiaries are managed to achieve an adequate risk-adjusted return while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet policyholder obligations.

25

FIRST ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION 10-Q

Interest Rate Risk

The fair values of our fixed maturity investments fluctuate in response to changes in market interest rates. Increases and decreases in prevailing interest rates generally translate into decreases and increases, respectively, in the fair values of those instruments. Additionally, the fair values of interest rate sensitive instruments may be affected by the creditworthiness of the issuer, prepayment options, relative values of alternative investments, the liquidity of the instrument and other general market conditions.

The following table summarizes the estimated effects of hypothetical increases and decreases in interest rates resulting from parallel shifts in market yield curves on our fixed maturity portfolio (in thousands). It is assumed that the effects are realized immediately upon the change in interest rates. The hypothetical changes in market interest rates do not reflect what could be deemed best or worst case scenarios. Variations in market interest rates could produce significant changes in the timing of repayments due to prepayment options available. For these and other reasons, actual results might differ from those reflected in the table.

	Sensitivity to Instantaneous Interest Rate Changes (basis points)
	(100)		(50)		0		50		100		200
Fair value of fixed maturity portfolio	$	127,339	$	124,705	$	122,125	$	119,631	$	117,228	$	112,665

The following table provides information about our fixed maturity investments at June 30, 2013 which are sensitive to interest rate risk. The table shows expected principal cash flows (at par value, which differs from amortized cost as a result of premiums or discounts at the time of purchase and OTTI) by expected maturity date for each of the next five fiscal years and collectively for all fiscal years thereafter (in thousands). Callable bonds and notes are included based on call date or maturity date depending upon which date produces the most conservative yield. CMOs and sinking fund issues are included based on maturity year adjusted for expected payment patterns. Actual cash flows may differ from those expected.

On June 15, 2007, our wholly-owned unconsolidated trust entity, First Acceptance Statutory Trust I (FAST I), used the proceeds from its sale of trust preferred securities to purchase $41.2 million of junior subordinated debentures. The debentures paid a fixed rate of 9.277% until July 30, 2012, after which the rate became variable (Three-Month LIBOR plus 375 basis points). The interest rate related to the debentures was 4.026% for the period from April 2013 to July 2013 at which time the interest rate will reset to 4.015% through October 2013.

FIRST ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION 10-Q

Credit Risk

Credit risk is managed by diversifying our investment portfolio to avoid concentrations in any single industry group or issuer and by limiting investments in securities with lower credit ratings. Our largest investment in any one investment, excluding U.S. government and agency securities, is our investment in a single mutual fund with a fair value of $8.2 million, or 6% of our investment portfolio. Our five largest investments make up 18% of our available-for-sale investment portfolio.

The mortgage industry has experienced a significant number of delinquencies and foreclosures, particularly among lower quality exposures (“sub-prime” and “Alt-A”). As a result of these delinquencies and foreclosures, many CMOs with underlying sub-prime and Alt-A mortgages as collateral experienced significant declines in fair value. At June 30, 2013, our fixed maturity portfolio included three CMOs having sub-prime exposure with fair value of $0.9 million and no exposure to Alt-A investments.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management team, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the “Exchange Act”) as of June 30, 2013. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Acting Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2013 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We and our subsidiaries are named from time to time as defendants in various legal actions that are incidental to our business, including those which arise out of or are related to the handling of claims made in connection with our insurance policies and claims handling. The plaintiffs in some of these lawsuits have alleged bad faith or extra-contractual damages, and some have sought punitive damages or class action status. We believe that the resolution of these legal actions will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. However, the ultimate outcome of these matters is uncertain.

For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the computation of diluted net loss per share did not include 0.1 million shares of unvested restricted common stock as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. Options to purchase approximately 1.3 million and 5.3 million shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, were also not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share as their exercise prices were in excess of the average stock prices for the periods presented.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value

2. Fair Value

Fair value is the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are generally based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are based on market data from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s view of market assumptions in the absence of observable market information. All assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

Level 1 -	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 -	Quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices by independent pricing services for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and valuations, using models or other valuation techniques, that use observable market data. All significant inputs are observable, or derived from observable information in the marketplace, or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the market place.
Level 3 -	Instruments that use non-binding broker quotes, model driven valuations that do not have observable market data or those that are estimated based on an ownership interest to which a proportionate share of net assets is attributed.

The Company categorizes valuation methods used in its identifiable intangible assets impairment tests as Level 3. To determine the fair value of acquired trademarks and trade names, the Company uses the relief-from-royalty method, which requires the Company to estimate the future revenue for the related brands, the appropriate royalty rate and the weighted average cost of capital. The Company also categorizes valuation methods used to fair value its investments in limited partnerships as Level 3, since the Company uses an estimate based on its ownership interest to which a proportionate share of the partners’ net assets is attributed.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying values and fair values of certain of the Company’s financial instruments were as follows (in thousands).

	June 30, 2013				December 31, 2012
	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value

Liabilities:
Debentures payable		40,281		12,588		40,261		12,723

The fair values as presented represent the Company’s best estimates and may not be substantiated by comparisons to independent markets. The fair value of the debentures payable was based on current market rates offered for debt with similar risks and maturities. Carrying values of certain financial instruments, such as cash and cash equivalents and premiums and fees receivable, approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments and are not required to be disclosed. Therefore, the aggregate of the fair values presented in the preceding table do not purport to represent the Company’s underlying value.

The Company holds available-for-sale investments and limited partnership interests, which are carried at fair value. The following tables present the fair-value measurements for each major category of assets that are measured on a recurring basis (in thousands).

The fair values of the Company’s investments are determined by management after taking into consideration available sources of data. All of the portfolio valuations classified as Level 1 or Level 2 in the above tables are priced exclusively by utilizing the services of independent pricing sources using observable market data. The Level 2 classified security valuations are obtained from a single independent pricing service. The Level 3 classified securities in the table above consist of limited partnership interests for which fair value is estimated based on the Company’s ownership interest in partners’ capital. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period. The Company has not made any adjustments to the prices obtained from the independent pricing sources.

The Company has reviewed the pricing techniques and methodologies of the independent pricing service for Level 2 investments and believes that its policies adequately consider market activity, either based on specific transactions for the security valued or based on modeling of securities with similar credit quality, duration, yield and structure that were recently traded. The Company monitored security-specific valuation trends and has made inquiries with the pricing service about material changes or the absence of expected changes to understand the underlying factors and inputs and to validate the reasonableness of the pricing.

Based on the above categorization, there were no Level 3 classified security valuations at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2012 and 2011, nor any transfers into or out of Level 3 during these periods. At June 30, 2013, the Level 3 classification was the result of purchases during the three months ended June 30, 2013.

The Company had a valuation allowance of $28.2 million and $28.4 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The change in the total valuation allowance for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was a decrease of $0.2 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the change in the valuation allowance included an increase of $1.4 million related to unrealized change in investments included in other comprehensive income (loss).

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considered whether it was more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company is required to assess whether a valuation allowance should be established against the Company’s net deferred tax assets based on the consideration of all available evidence using a more likely than not standard. In making such judgments, significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified. In assessing the Company’s ability to support the realizability of its deferred tax assets, management considered both positive and negative evidence. The Company placed greater weight on historical results than on the Company’s outlook for future profitability and established a deferred tax valuation allowance at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The deferred tax valuation allowance may be adjusted in future periods if management determines that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. In the event the deferred tax valuation allowance is adjusted, the Company would record an income tax benefit for the adjustment.

June 30, 2013	Amortized Cost		Gross Unrealized Gains		Gross Unrealized Losses			Fair Value
Limited partnership interests	$	1,747	$	—	$	(20	)	$	1,727

Limited partnership interests consist of investments in two private equity ventures that invest in small balance distressed secured loans and securities and international equity, respectively. These investments have redemption restrictions. However, the Company does not intend to sell these limited partnership interests, and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell them before the expiration of such restrictions. At June 30, 2013, the Company had unfunded commitments of $3.8 million to its limited partnership interests.

Restrictions

At June 30, 2013, fixed maturities and cash equivalents with a fair value and amortized cost of $5.3 million were on deposit with various insurance departments as a requirement of doing business in those states. Cash equivalents with a fair value and amortized cost of $9.4 million were on deposit with another insurance company as collateral for an assumed reinsurance contract.

	$	(55	)	$	(19	)	$	(42	)	$	7

Realized gains and losses on sales and redemptions are computed based on specific identification. The non-credit related portion of other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) charges is included in other comprehensive income (loss). The amounts of non-credit OTTI for securities still owned was $1.0 million for non-agency backed residential collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) and $0.2 million related to non-agency backed commercial CMOs at both June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 320-10, the Company separates OTTI into the following two components: (i) the amount related to credit losses, which is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and (ii) the amount related to all other factors, which is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). The credit-related portion of an OTTI is measured by comparing a security’s amortized cost to the present value of its current expected cash flows discounted at its effective yield prior to the impairment charge.

The determination of whether unrealized losses are “other-than-temporary” requires judgment based on subjective as well as objective factors. The Company routinely monitors its investment portfolio for changes in fair value that might indicate potential impairments and performs detailed reviews on such securities. Changes in fair value are evaluated to determine the extent to which such changes are attributable to (i) fundamental factors specific to the issuer or (ii) market-related factors such as interest rates or sector declines.

Securities with declines attributable to issuer-specific fundamentals are reviewed to identify all available evidence to estimate the potential for impairment. Resources used include historical financial data included in filings with the SEC for corporate bonds and performance data regarding the underlying loans for CMOs. Securities with declines attributable solely to market or sector declines where the Company does not intend to sell the security and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell the security before the full recovery of its amortized cost basis are not deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

The issuer-specific factors considered in reaching the conclusion that securities with declines are not other-than-temporary include (i) the extent and duration of the decline in fair value, including the duration of any significant decline in value, (ii) whether the security is current as to payments of principal and interest, (iii) a valuation of any underlying collateral, (iv) current and future conditions and trends for both the business and its industry, (v) changes in cash flow assumptions for CMOs and (vi) rating agency actions. Based on these factors, the Company makes a determination as to the probability of recovering principal and interest on the security.

The number and amount of securities for which the Company has recognized OTTI charges in net income (loss) are presented in the following tables (in thousands, except for the number of securities).

On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews cash flow estimates for certain non-agency backed CMOs of lesser credit quality following the guidance of FASB ASC 325-40, Investments - Other - Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets (“FASB ASC 325-40”). Accordingly, when changes in estimated cash flows occur due to actual or estimated prepayment or credit loss experience, and the present value of the revised cash flows is less than the present value previously estimated, OTTI is deemed to have occurred. For non-agency backed CMOs not subject to FASB ASC 325-40, the Company reviews quarterly projected cash flow analyses and recognizes OTTI when it determines that a loss is probable. The Company has recognized OTTI related to certain non-agency backed CMOs as the underlying cash flows have been adversely impacted due to a reduction in prepayments from mortgage refinancing and an increase in actual and projected delinquencies in the underlying mortgages.

The Company’s review of non-agency backed CMOs included an analysis of available information such as collateral quality, anticipated cash flows, credit enhancements, default rates, loss severities, the securities’ relative position in their respective capital structures, and credit ratings from statistical rating agencies. The Company reviews quarterly projected cash flow analyses for each security utilizing current assumptions regarding (i) actual and anticipated delinquencies, (ii) delinquency transition-to-default rates and (iii) loss severities. Based on its quarterly reviews, the Company determined that there had not been an adverse change in projected cash flows, except in the case of those securities for which OTTI charges have been recorded. The Company believes that the unrealized losses on the remaining non-agency backed securities for which OTTI charges have not been recorded are not necessarily predictive of the ultimate performance of the underlying collateral. The Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell these securities before the recovery of their amortized cost basis.

The Company believes that the remaining securities having unrealized losses at June 30, 2013 were not other-than-temporarily impaired. The Company also does not intend to sell any of these securities and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell any of these securities before the recovery of their amortized cost basis.

Accounting Changes And Error Corrections [Abstract]

Investments

On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews cash flow estimates for certain non-agency backed CMOs of lesser credit quality following the guidance of FASB ASC 325-40, Investments – Other – Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets (“FASB ASC 325-40”). Accordingly, when changes in estimated cash flows occur due to actual or estimated prepayment or credit loss experience, and the present value of the revised cash flows is less than the present value previously estimated, OTTI is deemed to have occurred. For non-agency backed CMOs not subject to FASB ASC 325-40, the Company reviews quarterly projected cash flow analyses and recognizes OTTI when it determines that a loss is probable. The Company has recognized OTTI related to certain non-agency backed CMOs as the underlying cash flows have been adversely impacted due to a reduction in prepayments from mortgage refinancing and an increase in actual and projected delinquencies in the underlying mortgages.

The Company’s review of non-agency backed CMOs included an analysis of available information such as collateral quality, anticipated cash flows, credit enhancements, default rates, loss severities, the securities’ relative position in their respective capital structures, and credit ratings from statistical rating agencies.

Presentation of Comprehensive Income

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which requires a company to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. There are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income under current GAAP. The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance in the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations, other than the presentation thereof.
