As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were 18 and 11 securities in an unrealized loss position with an estimated fair value of $3,312,783 and $3,169,340, respectively. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, nine and one of these securities had been in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or greater, respectively. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, none of these securities were considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired. The Company has the intent to hold these securities to maturity and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these securities before their fair values recover above the adjusted cost. The unrealized losses from these securities were not as a result of credit, collateral or structural issues.

At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had investments in certificates of deposit (“CD”) in the amount of $1,470,000 comprising of fully insured time deposits placed with Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured commercial banks and savings associations. The FDIC, an independent agency of the United States government, protects depositors up to an amount of $250,000 per depositor, per insured institution. FDIC insurance is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government. The stated interest rate of an FDIC insured CD varies greatly among commercial banks and savings associations, depending on the term of the CD and the institution’s need for funding. The liquidity of “marketable” CDs is marginal, even though they are assigned an FDIC number, a CUSIP number and are held in book-entry form through the Depository Trust Company. Depending on market liquidity and conditions, the bid price for an FDIC insured CD would reflect the supply of and the demand for deposits of the particular bank or savings association, as well as prevailing interest rates, the remaining term of the deposit, specific features of the CD, and compensation of the broker arranging the sale of the CD. These time deposits have maturities ranging from two to five years and are classified as other invested assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment Process

The Company assesses whether declines in the fair value of its fixed maturity investments classified as available-for-sale represent impairments that are other-than-temporary by reviewing each fixed maturity investment that is impaired and (1) determining if the Company has the intent to sell the fixed maturity investment or if it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the fixed maturity investment before its anticipated recovery; and (2) assessing whether a credit loss exists, that is, where the Company expects that the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected from the fixed maturity investment are less than the amortized cost basis of the investment.

The Company had no planned sales of its fixed maturity investments classified as available-for-sale that were in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2014. In assessing whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell a fixed maturity investment before its anticipated recovery, the Company considers various factors including its future cash flow requirements, legal and regulatory requirements, the level of its cash, cash equivalents, short term investments and fixed maturity investments available for sale in an unrealized gain position, and other relevant factors. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairments due to required sales.

In evaluating credit losses, the Company considers a variety of factors in the assessment of a fixed maturity investment including: (1) the time period during which there has been a significant decline below cost; (2) the extent of the decline below cost and par; (3) the potential for the fixed maturity investment to recover in value; (4) an analysis of the financial condition of the issuer; (5) the rating of the issuer; and (6) failure of the issuer of the fixed maturity investment to make scheduled interest or principal payments.

If we conclude a security is other-than-temporarily impaired, we write down the amortized cost of the security to fair value, with a charge to net realized investment gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Gross unrealized losses on the investment portfolio as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, relating to10 and 11 fixed maturity securities and eight and zero equity securities, amounted to $36,332 and $85,226, respectively. The unrealized losses on these available for sale fixed maturity securities were not as a result of credit, collateral or structural issues. During the six months ended and three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded a total other-than-temporary impairment charge of $2,236 and $1,890 on two and one equity securities, respectively, as a result of the decline in fair value below cost. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded a total other-than-temporary impairment charge of $81,154 on one equity security, as a result of the decline in fair value below cost. No other-than-temporary impairment charges were recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Fair Value of Investments

Under existing U.S. GAAP, we are required to recognize certain assets at their fair value in our consolidated balance sheets. This includes our fixed maturity investments and equity securities. In accordance with the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon whether the inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability are observable or unobservable in the market at the measurement date, with quoted market prices being the highest level (Level 1) and unobservable inputs being the lowest level (Level 3). A fair value measurement will fall within the level of the hierarchy based on the inputs that are significant to determining such measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:

• Level 1: Observable inputs to the valuation methodology that are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

• Level 2: Observable inputs to the valuation methodology other than quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

• Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology that are unobservable for the asset or liability.

At each measurement date, we estimate the fair value of the security using various valuation techniques. We utilize, to the extent available, quoted market prices in active markets or observable market inputs in estimating the fair value of our investments. When quoted market prices or observable market inputs are not available, we utilize valuation techniques that rely on unobservable inputs to estimate the fair value of investments. The following describes the valuation techniques we used to determine the fair value of investments held as of June 30, 2014 and what level within the fair value hierarchy each valuation technique resides:

9

• U.S. government agency securities: Comprised primarily of bonds issued by the Federal Home Loan Bank, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, Federal Farm Credit Bank and the Federal National Mortgage Association. The fair values of U.S. government agency securities are priced using the spread above the risk-free U.S. Treasury yield curve. As the yields for the risk-free U.S. Treasury yield curve are observable market inputs, the fair values of U.S. government agency securities are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. AmerInst considers a liquid market to exist for these types of securities held. Broker quotes are not used for fair value pricing.

• Obligations of state and political subdivisions: Comprised of fixed income obligations of state and local governmental municipalities. The fair values of these securities are based on quotes and current market spread relationships, and are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. AmerInst considers a liquid market to exist for these types of securities held. Broker quotes are not used for fair value pricing.

• Corporate debt securities: Comprised of bonds issued by corporations. The fair values of these securities are based on quotes and current market spread relationships, and are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. AmerInst considers a liquid market to exist for these types of securities held. Broker quotes are not used for fair value pricing.

• Equity securities, at fair value: Comprised primarily of investments in the common stock of publicly traded companies in the U.S. All of the Company’s equities are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. The Company receives prices based on closing exchange prices from independent pricing sources to measure fair values for the equities.

• Hedge fund: Comprised of a hedge fund whose objective is to seek attractive long-term returns with lower volatility by investing in a range of diversified investment strategies. The fund invests in a diversified pool of hedge fund managers, generally across six different strategies: long/short equities, long/short credit, macro, multi-strategy opportunistic, event-driven, and portfolio hedge. The fair value of the hedge fund is based on the net asset value of the fund as reported by the external fund manager. The use of net asset value as an estimate of the fair value for investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value is a permitted practical expedient. The fair value of our hedge fund is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

While we obtain pricing from independent pricing services, management is ultimately responsible for determining the fair value measurements for all securities. To ensure fair value measurement is applied consistently and in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we periodically update our understanding of the pricing methodologies used by the independent pricing services. We also undertake further analysis with respect to prices we believe may not be representative of fair value under current market conditions. Our review process includes, but is not limited to: (i) initial and ongoing evaluation of the pricing methodologies and valuation models used by outside parties to calculate fair value; (ii) quantitative analysis; (iii) a review of multiple quotes obtained in the pricing process and the range of resulting fair values for each security, if available, and (iv) randomly selecting purchased or sold securities and comparing the executed prices to the fair value estimates provided by the independent pricing sources.

There have been no material changes to our valuation techniques from what was used as of December 31, 2013. Since the fair value of a security is an estimate of what a willing buyer would pay for such security if we sold it, we cannot know the ultimate value of our securities until they are sold. We believe the valuation techniques utilized provide us with a reasonable estimate of the price that would be received if we were to sell our assets or transfer our liabilities in an orderly market transaction between participants at the measurement date. The following tables show the fair value of the Company’s investments in accordance with ASC 820 as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

4. STOCK COMPENSATION

AmerInst Professional Services, Limited (“APSL”), a subsidiary of AmerInst, has employment agreements with four key members of senior management, including one of our named executive officers, Kyle Nieman, the President of APSL, which grant them phantom shares of the Company. Under these agreements, these employees were initially granted a total of 75,018 phantom shares of the Company on the date of their employment, subject to certain vesting requirements. The phantom shares are eligible for

13

phantom dividends payable at the same rate as regular dividends on the Company’s common shares. The phantom dividends may be used only to purchase additional phantom shares with the purchase price of such phantom shares being the net book value of the Company’s actual common shares as of the end of the previous quarter. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, no phantom shares were granted because no dividends were declared on the Company’s common shares. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, 622 phantom shares were granted arising from the dividends declared on the Company’s common shares. 81,161 phantom shares were outstanding at June 30, 2014.

For three of these employees, including Mr. Nieman, the phantom shares initially granted, as well as any additional shares granted from dividends declared, will vest on January 1, 2015. For the fourth employee, the phantom shares initially granted, as well as any additional shares granted from dividends declared, will vest on January 1, 2018. The liability payable to these employees under this phantom share plan is equal to the value of the phantom shares based on the net book value of the Company’s actual common shares at the end of the previous quarter less the value of phantom shares initially granted and is payable in cash upon the earlier of the employee attaining 65 years of age or within 60 days of such employee’s death or permanent disability, including if such death or permanent disability occurs before January 1, 2015 for three of these employees and January 1, 2018 for the fourth employee.

The liability relating to these phantom shares is recalculated quarterly based on the net book value of the Company’s common shares at the end of each quarter. As a result of the overall decrease in the net book value of the Company’s common shares since the grant dates, no liability has been recorded by the Company relating to these phantom shares at June 30, 2014.

Entry into Agency Agreement

On September 25, 2009, APSL entered into an agency agreement (the “Agency Agreement”) with The North River Insurance Company, United States Fire Insurance Company, Crum & Forster Indemnity Company, Crum and Forster Insurance Company, and Crum & Forster Specialty Insurance Company (collectively, “C&F”) pursuant to which C&F appointed APSL as its exclusive agent for the purposes of soliciting, underwriting, quoting, binding, issuing, cancelling, non-renewing and endorsing accountants’ professional liability and lawyers’ professional liability insurance coverage in all 50 states of the United States and the District of Columbia. The initial term of the Agency Agreement was for four years with automatic one-year renewals thereafter. The Agency Agreement automatically renewed on September 25, 2013.

Entry into Reinsurance Agreement

We conduct our reinsurance business through AMIC Ltd., our subsidiary, which is a registered insurer in Bermuda. On September 25, 2009, AMIC Ltd. entered into a professional liability quota share agreement with C&F (the “Reinsurance Agreement”) pursuant to which C&F agreed to cede, and AMIC Ltd. agreed to accept as reinsurance, a 50% quota share of C&F’s liability under insurance written by APSL on behalf of C&F and classified by C&F as accountants’ professional liability and lawyers’ professional liability, subject to AMIC Ltd.’s surplus limitations. The term of the Reinsurance Agreement is continuous and may be terminated by either party for any reason on or not less than 120 days’ prior written notice.

Historical Relationship with CAMICO

From June 1, 2005 through May 31, 2009, we were a party to a reinsurance contract with CAMICO Mutual Insurance Company (“CAMICO”), a California-based writer of accountants’ professional liability business.

We decided not to renew the CAMICO contract and permitted the contract to expire pursuant to its terms on May 31, 2009. We remain potentially liable for claims related to coverage through May 31, 2009.

Third-party Managers and Service Providers

Cedar Management Limited provides the day-to-day services necessary for the administration of our business. Our agreement with Cedar Management Limited renewed for one year beginning January 1, 2014 and ending December 31, 2014. Mr. Stuart Grayston, our President, was formerly a director and officer of Cedar Management Limited, and Mr. Thomas R. McMahon, our Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer, is a shareholder, officer, director and employee of Cedar Management Limited.

Mr. Lawrence Carlson, a certified public accountant and an independent contractor, provides the primary accounting functions to APSL. Our agreement with him, which was effective January 1, 2013, has no ending date but can be terminated by either party upon 30 days written notice.

The Country Club Bank of Kansas City, Missouri, provides portfolio management of fixed-income securities and directs our investments pursuant to guidelines approved by us. Harris Associates L.P., Aurora Investment Management, LLC and Tower Wealth Managers, Inc. provide discretionary investment advice with respect to our equity investments. We have retained Oliver Wyman, an independent casualty actuarial consulting firm, to render advice regarding actuarial matters.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to six months ended June 30, 2013

We recorded a net loss of $251,065 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to net income of $251,183 for the same period in 2013. The decrease in net income was mainly attributable to the decrease in realized gains on investments net of impairment from $1,827,747 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $1,021,893 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as a result of decreased sales of equity securities in an unrealized gain position during the first six months of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013, partially offset by the increase in commission income from $601,910 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $959,935 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as a result of a higher volume of premiums written under the Agency Agreement, as discussed in further detail below.

Our net premiums earned for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were $1,649,043 compared to $790,333 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, an increase of $858,710 or 108.7%. The net premiums earned for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were attributable to cessions from C&F under the Reinsurance Agreement. The increase in net premiums earned under the Reinsurance Agreement during the first six months of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 resulted from increased cessions from C&F in 2014, arising from a higher level of underwriting activity under the Agency Agreement due to the continued marketing of the program by APSL resulting in increasing penetration in targeted markets.

15

During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we recorded commission income under the Agency Agreement of $959,935 and $601,910, respectively, an increase of $358,025 or 59.5%. This increase resulted from a higher volume of premiums written under the Agency Agreement in 2014.

We recorded net investment income of $144,209 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $148,076 for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The decline in net investment income is due to (i) the reduction in the investment portfolio due to the disposition of certain fixed income and equity securities and (ii) lower yielding fixed income securities held in the Company’s investment portfolio during the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. The annualized investment yield, calculated as total interest and dividends divided by the net average amount of total investments and cash and cash equivalents, was 1.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the 1.2% yield earned for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Sales of securities during the six months ended June 30, 2014 resulted in realized gains on investments net of impairment of $1,021,893 compared to $1,827,747 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, a decrease of $805,854. The decrease in realized gains primarily related to decreased sales of equity securities in an unrealized gain position during the first six months of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014 we recorded loss and loss adjustment expenses of $1,047,142 derived by multiplying our estimated loss ratio of 63.5% and the net premiums earned under the Reinsurance Agreement of $1,649,043. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, we recorded loss and loss adjustment expenses of $704,725, which represents (i) $493,958 in losses incurred derived by multiplying our estimated loss ratio of 62.5% and the net premiums earned under the Reinsurance Agreement of $790,333 and (ii) a $210,767 increase in CAMICO Incurred But Not Reported (“IBNR”) loss reserves which resulted from unfavorable development in policy years 2007/2008 and 2008/2009 during the second quarter

We recorded policy acquisition costs of $610,148 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $292,431 for the same period in 2013. Policy acquisition costs, which are primarily ceding commissions paid to the ceding insurer, are established as a percentage of premiums earned; therefore, any increase or decrease in premiums earned will result in a similar increase or decrease in policy acquisition costs. The policy acquisition costs recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were approximately 37% of the net premiums earned under the Reinsurance Agreement of $1,649,043 and $790,333, respectively.

We expensed operating and management expenses of $2,368,855 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $2,119,727 for the same period in 2013, an increase of $249,128 or 11.8%. The increase was primarily attributable to increased salaries and related costs associated with APSL’s hiring of additional producer personnel.

The tables below summarize the results of the following AmerInst reportable segments: (1) reinsurance activity, which also includes investments and other activities, and (2) insurance activity, which offers professional liability solutions to professional service firms under the Agency Agreement with C&F.

We recorded a net loss of $464,091 during the second quarter of 2014 compared to net income of $130,213 for the same period in 2013. The decrease in net income was mainly attributable to the decrease in realized gains on investments net of impairment from $1,067,045 in the second quarter of 2013 to $225,158 in the second quarter of 2014 as a result of decreased sales of equity securities in an unrealized gain position during the second quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013, partially offset by the increase in commission income from $298,348 in the second quarter of 2013 to $460,809 in the second quarter of 2014 as a result of a higher volume of premiums written under the Agency Agreement, as discussed in further detail below.

16

Our net premiums earned for the second quarter of 2014 were $863,570 compared to $460,457 for the second quarter of 2013, an increase of $403,113 or 87.5%. The net premiums earned during the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were attributable to cessions from C&F under the Reinsurance Agreement. The increase in net premiums earned under the Reinsurance Agreement during the second quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 resulted from increased cessions from C&F in 2014, arising from a higher level of underwriting activity under the Agency Agreement due to the continued marketing of the program by APSL resulting in increasing penetration in targeted markets.

For the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we recorded commission income under the Agency Agreement of $460,809 and $298,348, respectively, an increase of $162,461 or 54.5%. This increase resulted from a higher volume of premiums written under the Agency Agreement in 2014.

We recorded net investment income of $79,519 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 compared to $82,784 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The slight decline in net investment income was due to (i) the reduction in the investment portfolio due to the disposition of certain fixed income and equity securities and (ii) lower yielding fixed income securities held in the Company’s investment portfolio during the second quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. The annualized investment yield, calculated as total interest and dividends divided by the net average amount of total investments and cash and cash equivalents, was 1.3% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared to the 1.4% yield earned for the quarter ended June 30, 2013.

Sales of securities for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 resulted in realized gains on investments net of impairment of $225,158 compared to $1,067,045 during the quarter ended June 30, 2013, a decrease of $841,887. The decrease in realized gains primarily related to decreased sales of equity securities in an unrealized gain position compared to 2013.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2014, we recorded loss and loss adjustment expenses of $548,367 derived by multiplying our estimated loss ratio of 63.5% and the net premiums earned under the Reinsurance Agreement of $863,570. For the quarter ended June 30, 2013, we recorded loss and loss adjustment expenses of $498,552, which represents (i) $287,785 in losses incurred derived by multiplying our estimated loss ratio of 62.5% and the net premiums earned under the Reinsurance Agreement of $460,457 and (ii) a $210,767 increase in CAMICO IBNR loss reserves which resulted from unfavorable development in policy years 2007/2008 and 2008/2009 during the second quarter.

We recorded policy acquisition costs of $319,522 in the second quarter of 2014 compared to $170,370 for the same period in 2013. Policy acquisition costs, which are primarily ceding commissions paid to the ceding insurer, are established as a percentage of premiums earned; therefore, any increase or decrease in premiums earned will result in a similar increase or decrease in policy acquisition costs. The policy acquisition costs recorded during the second quarter of 2014 and 2013 were 37% of the net premiums earned under the Reinsurance Agreement of $863,570 and $460,457, respectively.

We incurred operating and management expenses of $1,225,258 in the second quarter 2014 compared to $1,109,499 for the same period in 2013, an increase of $115,759 or 10.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to increased salaries and related costs associated with APSL’s hiring of additional producer personnel.

The tables below summarize the results of the following AmerInst reportable segments: (1) reinsurance activity, which also includes investments and other activities, and (2) insurance activity, which offers professional liability solutions to professional service firms under the Agency Agreement with C&F.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

As of June 30, 2014, our total investments were $21,534,106, an increase of $273,719 from $21,260,387 at December 31, 2013. This was primarily due to the increase in the fair value of certain equity securities as a result of favorable market conditions, partially offset by the sales of certain equity securities in an unrealized gain position. The cash and cash equivalents balance increased from $2,333,806 at December 31, 2013 to $2,372,087 at June 30, 2014, an increase of $38,281 or 1.6%. The amount of cash and cash equivalents varies depending on the maturities of fixed-term investments and on the level of funds invested in money market funds. The restricted cash and cash equivalents balance increased from $151,414 at December 31, 2013 to $260,834 at June 30, 2014, an increase of $109,420 or 72.3%. The increase is due to the timing of sales and maturities of investments held as restricted cash at June 30, 2014 that have not yet been reinvested. Other invested assets remained unchanged at $1,470,000 as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The ratio of cash, total investments and other invested assets to total liabilities at June 30, 2014 was 3.79:1, compared to a ratio of 4.43:1 at December 31, 2013. The decrease in the ratio was attributable to an increase in unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses and unearned premium assumed under the Reinsurance Agreement.

The assumed reinsurance balances receivable represents the current assumed premiums receivable less commissions payable to the fronting carriers. As of June 30, 2014, the balance was $621,051 compared to $468,438 as of December 31, 2013. The increase resulted from a higher level of premiums assumed under the Reinsurance Agreement.

The assumed reinsurance payable represents current reinsurance losses payable to the fronting carriers. As of June 30, 2014, the balance was $300,253 compared to $101,809 as of December 31, 2013. This balance fluctuates due to the timing of reported losses under the policies we reinsure.

Deferred policy acquisition costs, which represent the deferral of ceding commission expense related to premiums not yet earned, increased from $402,607 at December 31, 2013 to $616,176 at June 30, 2014. The increase in deferred policy acquisition costs in 2014 was due to the increase in both net premiums written and unearned premiums assumed under the Reinsurance Agreement compared to the prior year. The ceding commission rate under the Reinsurance Agreement is 37%.

Prepaid expenses and other assets were $667,887 at June 30, 2014, an increase of 21.3% from December 31, 2013. The balance primarily relates to (1) prepaid directors’ and officers’ liability insurance costs, (2) prepaid directors’ retainers, (3) prepaid professional fees and (4) premiums due to APSL under the Agency Agreement. The increase in the balance was mainly attributable to the annual director fee payments to the Company’s directors made in May 2014 relating to the period from June 1, 2014 to May 31, 2015.

Accrued expenses and other liabilities primarily represent premiums payable by APSL to C&F under the Agency Agreement and expenses accrued relating largely to professional fees. The balance decreased from $1,779,595 at December 31, 2013 to $1,679,434 at June 30, 2014, a decrease of $100,161 or 5.6%. The decrease in the balance was attributable to a decrease in premiums payable by APSL to C&F under the Agency Agreement. This balance fluctuates due to the timing of the premium payments to C&F.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our cash needs consist of settlement of losses and expenses under our reinsurance treaties and funding day-to-day operations. In continuing the implementation of our business plan, our management expects to meet these cash needs from cash flows arising from our investment portfolio. Because substantially all of our assets are marketable securities, we expect that we will have sufficient flexibility to provide for unbudgeted cash needs that may arise from time to time without resorting to borrowing, subject to Bermuda statutory limitations as discussed in our 2013 Form 10-K.

Total cash, investments and other invested assets increased from $25,215,607 at December 31, 2013 to $25,637,027 at June 30, 2014, an increase of $421,420 or 1.7%. The net increase resulted primarily from the increase in the fair value of certain equity securities as a result of favorable market conditions and positive cash inflows in relation to net investment income and net premiums received under the Reinsurance Agreement in the amount of $917,731. These increases were partially offset by net cash outflows to fund the operations of APSL and dividends of $168,854 paid during the first quarter of 2014.

The Bermuda Monetary Authority has authorized Investco to purchase the Company’s common shares from shareholders who have died or retired from the practice of public accounting and on a negotiated basis. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, no such transactions occurred. Through June 30, 2014, Investco had purchased 167,798 common shares from shareholders who had died or retired for a total purchase price of $4,708,680. From time to time, Investco has also purchased shares in privately negotiated transactions. Through June 30, 2014, Investco had purchased an additional 75,069 common shares in such privately negotiated transactions for a total purchase price of $1,109,025.

18

Cash Dividends

We paid dividends of $0.25 per share during the first quarter of 2014, which amounted to total ordinary cash dividends of $165,918. Since we began paying dividends in 1995, our original shareholders have received $20.12 in cumulative dividends per share. When measured by a total rate of return calculation, this has resulted in an effective annual rate of return of approximately 9.3% from the inception of the Company, based on a per share purchase price of $8.33 paid by the original shareholder, and using an unaudited book value of $31.91 per share as of June 30, 2014. Although we have paid cash dividends on a regular basis in the past, the declaration and payment of cash dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on, among other things, our financial condition, results of operations, current and anticipated cash needs and other factors that our board of directors considers relevant.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of June 30, 2014, the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).

4. STOCK COMPENSATION

AmerInst Professional Services, Limited (“APSL”), a subsidiary of AmerInst, has employment agreements with four key members of senior management, including one of our named executive officers, Kyle Nieman, the President of APSL, which grant them phantom shares of the Company. Under these agreements, these employees were initially granted a total of 75,018 phantom shares of the Company on the date of their employment, subject to certain vesting requirements. The phantom shares are eligible for phantom dividends payable at the same rate as regular dividends on the Company’s common shares. The phantom dividends may be used only to purchase additional phantom shares with the purchase price of such phantom shares being the net book value of the Company’s actual common shares as of the end of the previous quarter. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, no phantom shares were granted because no dividends were declared on the Company’s common shares. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, 622 phantom shares were granted arising from the dividends declared on the Company’s common shares. 81,161 phantom shares were outstanding at June 30, 2014.

For three of these employees, including Mr. Nieman, the phantom shares initially granted, as well as any additional shares granted from dividends declared, will vest on January 1, 2015. For the fourth employee, the phantom shares initially granted, as well as any additional shares granted from dividends declared, will vest on January 1, 2018. The liability payable to these employees under this phantom share plan is equal to the value of the phantom shares based on the net book value of the Company’s actual common shares at the end of the previous quarter less the value of phantom shares initially granted and is payable in cash upon the earlier of the employee attaining 65 years of age or within 60 days of such employee’s death or permanent disability, including if such death or permanent disability occurs before January 1, 2015 for three of these employees and January 1, 2018 for the fourth employee.

The liability relating to these phantom shares is recalculated quarterly based on the net book value of the Company’s common shares at the end of each quarter. As a result of the overall decrease in the net book value of the Company’s common shares since the grant dates, no liability has been recorded by the Company relating to these phantom shares at June 30, 2014.

As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were 18 and 11 securities in an unrealized loss position with an estimated fair value of $3,312,783 and $3,169,340, respectively. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, nine and one of these securities had been in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or greater, respectively. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, none of these securities were considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired. The Company has the intent to hold these securities to maturity and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these securities before their fair values recover above the adjusted cost. The unrealized losses from these securities were not as a result of credit, collateral or structural issues.

At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had investments in certificates of deposit (“CD”) in the amount of $1,470,000 comprising of fully insured time deposits placed with Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured commercial banks and savings associations. The FDIC, an independent agency of the United States government, protects depositors up to an amount of $250,000 per depositor, per insured institution. FDIC insurance is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government. The stated interest rate of an FDIC insured CD varies greatly among commercial banks and savings associations, depending on the term of the CD and the institution’s need for funding. The liquidity of “marketable” CDs is marginal, even though they are assigned an FDIC number, a CUSIP number and are held in book-entry form through the Depository Trust Company. Depending on market liquidity and conditions, the bid price for an FDIC insured CD would reflect the supply of and the demand for deposits of the particular bank or savings association, as well as prevailing interest rates, the remaining term of the deposit, specific features of the CD, and compensation of the broker arranging the sale of the CD. These time deposits have maturities ranging from two to five years and are classified as other invested assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment Process

The Company assesses whether declines in the fair value of its fixed maturity investments classified as available-for-sale represent impairments that are other-than-temporary by reviewing each fixed maturity investment that is impaired and (1) determining if the Company has the intent to sell the fixed maturity investment or if it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the fixed maturity investment before its anticipated recovery; and (2) assessing whether a credit loss exists, that is, where the Company expects that the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected from the fixed maturity investment are less than the amortized cost basis of the investment.

The Company had no planned sales of its fixed maturity investments classified as available-for-sale that were in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2014. In assessing whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell a fixed maturity investment before its anticipated recovery, the Company considers various factors including its future cash flow requirements, legal and regulatory requirements, the level of its cash, cash equivalents, short term investments and fixed maturity investments available for sale in an unrealized gain position, and other relevant factors. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairments due to required sales.

In evaluating credit losses, the Company considers a variety of factors in the assessment of a fixed maturity investment including: (1) the time period during which there has been a significant decline below cost; (2) the extent of the decline below cost and par; (3) the potential for the fixed maturity investment to recover in value; (4) an analysis of the financial condition of the issuer; (5) the rating of the issuer; and (6) failure of the issuer of the fixed maturity investment to make scheduled interest or principal payments.

If we conclude a security is other-than-temporarily impaired, we write down the amortized cost of the security to fair value, with a charge to net realized investment gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Gross unrealized losses on the investment portfolio as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, relating to10 and 11 fixed maturity securities and eight and zero equity securities, amounted to $36,332 and $85,226, respectively. The unrealized losses on these available for sale fixed maturity securities were not as a result of credit, collateral or structural issues. During the six months ended and three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded a total other-than-temporary impairment charge of $2,236 and $1,890 on two and one equity securities, respectively, as a result of the decline in fair value below cost. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded a total other-than-temporary impairment charge of $81,154 on one equity security, as a result of the decline in fair value below cost. No other-than-temporary impairment charges were recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Fair Value of Investments

Under existing U.S. GAAP, we are required to recognize certain assets at their fair value in our consolidated balance sheets. This includes our fixed maturity investments and equity securities. In accordance with the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon whether the inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability are observable or unobservable in the market at the measurement date, with quoted market prices being the highest level (Level 1) and unobservable inputs being the lowest level (Level 3). A fair value measurement will fall within the level of the hierarchy based on the inputs that are significant to determining such measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:

• Level 1: Observable inputs to the valuation methodology that are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

• Level 2: Observable inputs to the valuation methodology other than quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

• Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology that are unobservable for the asset or liability.

At each measurement date, we estimate the fair value of the security using various valuation techniques. We utilize, to the extent available, quoted market prices in active markets or observable market inputs in estimating the fair value of our investments. When quoted market prices or observable market inputs are not available, we utilize valuation techniques that rely on unobservable inputs to estimate the fair value of investments. The following describes the valuation techniques we used to determine the fair value of investments held as of June 30, 2014 and what level within the fair value hierarchy each valuation technique resides:

• U.S. government agency securities: Comprised primarily of bonds issued by the Federal Home Loan Bank, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, Federal Farm Credit Bank and the Federal National Mortgage Association. The fair values of U.S. government agency securities are priced using the spread above the risk-free U.S. Treasury yield curve. As the yields for the risk-free U.S. Treasury yield curve are observable market inputs, the fair values of U.S. government agency securities are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. AmerInst considers a liquid market to exist for these types of securities held. Broker quotes are not used for fair value pricing.

• Obligations of state and political subdivisions: Comprised of fixed income obligations of state and local governmental municipalities. The fair values of these securities are based on quotes and current market spread relationships, and are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. AmerInst considers a liquid market to exist for these types of securities held. Broker quotes are not used for fair value pricing.

• Corporate debt securities: Comprised of bonds issued by corporations. The fair values of these securities are based on quotes and current market spread relationships, and are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. AmerInst considers a liquid market to exist for these types of securities held. Broker quotes are not used for fair value pricing.

• Equity securities, at fair value: Comprised primarily of investments in the common stock of publicly traded companies in the U.S. All of the Company’s equities are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. The Company receives prices based on closing exchange prices from independent pricing sources to measure fair values for the equities.

• Hedge fund: Comprised of a hedge fund whose objective is to seek attractive long-term returns with lower volatility by investing in a range of diversified investment strategies. The fund invests in a diversified pool of hedge fund managers, generally across six different strategies: long/short equities, long/short credit, macro, multi-strategy opportunistic, event-driven, and portfolio hedge. The fair value of the hedge fund is based on the net asset value of the fund as reported by the external fund manager. The use of net asset value as an estimate of the fair value for investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value is a permitted practical expedient. The fair value of our hedge fund is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

While we obtain pricing from independent pricing services, management is ultimately responsible for determining the fair value measurements for all securities. To ensure fair value measurement is applied consistently and in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we periodically update our understanding of the pricing methodologies used by the independent pricing services. We also undertake further analysis with respect to prices we believe may not be representative of fair value under current market conditions. Our review process includes, but is not limited to: (i) initial and ongoing evaluation of the pricing methodologies and valuation models used by outside parties to calculate fair value; (ii) quantitative analysis; (iii) a review of multiple quotes obtained in the pricing process and the range of resulting fair values for each security, if available, and (iv) randomly selecting purchased or sold securities and comparing the executed prices to the fair value estimates provided by the independent pricing sources.

There have been no material changes to our valuation techniques from what was used as of December 31, 2013. Since the fair value of a security is an estimate of what a willing buyer would pay for such security if we sold it, we cannot know the ultimate value of our securities until they are sold. We believe the valuation techniques utilized provide us with a reasonable estimate of the price that would be received if we were to sell our assets or transfer our liabilities in an orderly market transaction between participants at the measurement date. The following tables show the fair value of the Company’s investments in accordance with ASC 820 as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:
