Note 1 Reporting and Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations
We are a holding company that, through subsidiaries, provides personal automobile insurance with a concentration on nonstandard auto insurance. Although licensed to write insurance in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, we focus on select states that we believe offer the greatest opportunity for premium growth and profitability.
Basis of Consolidation and Reporting
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, focuses on our financial performance since the beginning of the year.
These financial statements reflect certain adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our results of operations and financial position. Such adjustments consist of normal, recurring accruals recorded to match expenses with their related revenue streams and the elimination of all significant inter-company transactions and balances.
We have evaluated events that occurred after March 31, 2012 for recognition or disclosure in our financial statements and the notes to the financial statements.
Estimates
We based certain accounts and balances within these financial statements upon our estimates and assumptions. The amount of reserves for claims not yet paid, for example, is an item that we can only record by estimation. Unrealized capital gains and losses on investments are subject to market fluctuations, and we use judgment in the determination of whether unrealized losses on certain securities are temporary or other-than-temporary. Should actual results differ significantly from these estimates, the effect on our results of operations could be material. The results of operations for the periods presented may not be indicative of our results for the entire year.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts
In October 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standards update related to the
accounting for the deferral of costs associated with successful acquisition or renewal of insurance contracts (deferred policy acquisition costs). This standard is intended to reduce diversity in practice. We adopted this standard as of January 1, 2012. Pursuant to the guidance, we elected to adopt this standard on a retrospective basis and recognized an adjustment to beginning retained earnings for the earliest period shown of $6.2 million, net of taxes.

The following table illustrates the effect of adopting this standard on the Consolidated Balance Sheets (in millions):

Presentation of Comprehensive Income
In June and December 2011, the FASB issued guidance amending the presentation of comprehensive income and its components. We adopted this standard as of January 1, 2012. Under the new guidance, a reporting entity has the option to present comprehensive income in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements, as we elected. The impact of adoption was not material to our results of operations or financial position.

Amendments to Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements
In May 2011, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements and amends certain fair value measurement principles, requirements and disclosures. We adopted this standard as of January 1, 2012. The impact of adoption was not material to our results of operations or financial position. Additional disclosures required by this standard are located in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Reclassifications

We have reclassified certain amounts in the prior period consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period
presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on total shareholders’ equity, net cash flow or net earnings as previously
reported.

Schedules may not foot due to rounding.

We established the Restricted Stock Plan in 2002 and amended it on July 31, 2007. There are 500,000 shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under the Restricted Stock Plan, of which we have issued 278,843 shares as of March 31, 2012. We expense the fair value of shares issued under the Restricted Stock Plan over the vesting periods of the awards based on the market value of our stock on the date of grant.
On July 31, 2007, our Compensation Committee (“Committee”) approved the grant of 72,234 shares of restricted stock to certain officers under the Restricted Stock Plan. These shares of restricted stock vested in full on July 31, 2011. On August 2, 2011, the Committee approved the grant of an additional 72,234 shares of restricted stock to certain officers under the Restricted Stock Plan. These shares will vest in full on August 2, 2014. During the vesting period, the shares of restricted stock

will not have voting rights and will accrue dividends, which we will not pay until the shares have vested. We treat the restricted shares as issued and outstanding for calculation of diluted earnings per share only. Until fully vested, we will not consider the shares issued and outstanding for purposes of the basic earnings per share calculation.
Non-employee Directors’ Stock Ownership Plan
In May 2005, our shareholders approved the Non-employee Directors’ Stock Ownership Plan (“Directors’ Plan”). The purpose of the Directors’ Plan is to include our common stock as part of the compensation provided to our non-employee directors and to provide for stock ownership requirements for our non-employee directors. There are 200,000 shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under the Directors’ Plan, of which we have issued 43,959 shares as of March 31, 2012. Under the terms of the Directors’ Plan, we grant shares on or about June 1 of each year and we restrict these shares from sale or transfer by any recipient for six months from the date of grant. In June 2011, we issued 6,657 shares of our common stock, valued pursuant to the Directors’ Plan at $350,000, to our non-employee directors. We treat participants’ shares as issued and outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share calculations.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
We established our Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) in 2004 and amended and restated it on August 3, 2010. Under the ESPP, all eligible full-time employees may purchase shares of our common stock at a 15% discount to the current market price. Employees may allocate up to 25% of their base salary with a maximum annual participation amount of $25,000. If a participant sells any shares purchased under the ESPP within one year, we preclude that employee from participating in the ESPP for one year from the date of sale. The source of shares issued to participants is treasury shares or authorized but previously unissued shares. The maximum number of shares that we may issue under the ESPP may not exceed 1,000,000, of which we have issued 48,881 as of March 31, 2012. Our ESPP is qualified under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. We treat participants’ shares as issued and outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share calculations.
Performance Share Plan
Our shareholders approved the Performance Share Plan (“PSP”) on May 20, 2008 and an amended and restated PSP on May 26, 2010. The purpose of the PSP is to align further the interest of management with our long-term shareholders by including performance-based compensation, payable in shares of common stock, as a component of an executive’s annual compensation. The Committee administers the PSP and will (i) establish the performance goals, which may include but are not limited to, combined ratio, premium growth, growth within certain specific geographic areas and earnings per share or return on equity over the course of the upcoming three year period, (ii) determine the PSP participants, (iii) set the performance share units to be awarded to such participants, and (iv) set the rate at which performance share units will convert to shares of common stock based upon attainment of the performance goals. The number of shares of common stock that we may issue under the PSP is limited to 500,000 shares. In April 2012 and 2011, we issued 49,098 and 32,957 shares, respectively, under the PSP.
Stock Option Plan
We amended our Stock Option Plan (“SOP”) to prohibit any future grant of stock options from the plan after May 20, 2008. We amended the plan again on August 2, 2011. We have granted no options since 2004. We generally granted options with an exercise price equal to the closing price of our stock at the date of grant and these options have a 10-year contractual life. All of the options under the SOP have fully vested. Subject to specific limitations contained in the SOP, our Board of Directors has the ability to amend, suspend or terminate the plan at any time without shareholder approval. The SOP will continue in effect until the exercise or expiration of all options granted under the plan.

As permitted by the Stock Compensation topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, we used the modified Black-Scholes model with the assumptions noted below to estimate the value of employee stock options on the date of grant. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of our stock. We selected the expected option life to be 7.5 years, which represents the midpoint between the last vesting date and the end of the contractual term. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the options is based on the yield on 10-year Treasury notes in effect at the time of grant. The dividend yield was based on expected dividends at the time of grant.
We estimated the weighted-average grant date fair values of options granted during 2004 and 2003 using the modified Black-Scholes valuation model and the following weighted-average assumptions:

(a)
We calculated the intrinsic value for the stock options based on the difference between the exercise price of the underlying awards and our closing stock price as of the reporting date.
Cash received from option exercises for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $0.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The actual tax benefit realized for the tax deductions from options exercised totaled $0.2 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $0.5 million and $1.8 million, respectively.
We have a policy of issuing new stock for the exercise of stock options.

Level 1 includes cash and cash equivalents, U.S. Treasury securities, an exchange-traded fund and equities invested in a rabbi trust. Level 2 securities are comprised of securities whose fair value was determined using observable market inputs. Level 3 securities are comprised of (i) securities for which there is no active or inactive market for similar instruments, (ii) securities

whose fair value is determined based on unobservable inputs and (iii) securities, other than those backed by the U.S. Government, that are not rated by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. We recognize transfers between levels at the beginning of the reporting period.
A third party nationally recognized pricing service provides the fair value of securities in Level 2. We periodically review the third party pricing methodologies and test for significant differences between the market price used to value the security and recent sales activity.

Of the $14.0 million fair value of securities in Level 3, which consists of 13 securities, we priced 5 based on non-binding broker quotes. We manually calculated the price of 2 securities, which have a combined fair value of $0.9 million. Quantitative information about about the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of these manually priced securities at March 31, 2012 is as follows (in millions):
 
Fair Value
 
Valuation Technique
 
Unobservable Input
 
Value Used

Recovery rate1
 
Probability of default
 
100%
Corporate bond

1 Recovery rate for senior unsecured bonds as indicated in Moody's Investor's Service Annual Default Study: Corporate Default and Recovery Rates, 1920-2011.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of our manually-priced corporate bonds are a probability of default assumption and an assigned credit rating. Significant increases (decreases) in either of these inputs in isolation could result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.  Generally, a reduction in probability of default would increase security valuation. A change in the credit rating assumption would change the yield spread associated with that bond, and thus the yield used in discounting the cash flows to arrive at the security’s valuation.
We transferred approximately $1.1 million of securities in Level 3 at December 31, 2011 to Level 2 during the three months ended March 31, 2012 because we obtained a price for those securities from a nationally recognized pricing service. We transferred approximately $0.9 million of securities into Level 3 from Level 2 during the three months ended March 31, 2012 because we could not obtain a price from a third party nationally recognized pricing service. There were no transfers between Levels 1 and 2 during the three months ended March 31, 2012.
The gains or losses included in net earnings are included in the line item net realized gains on investments in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. We recognize the net gains or losses included in other comprehensive income in the line item unrealized gains (losses) on investments, net in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and the line item

Note 5 Investments
We consider all fixed maturity and equity securities available-for-sale and report them at fair value with the net unrealized gains or losses reported after-tax (net of any valuation allowance) as a component of other comprehensive income. The proceeds from sales of securities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were $36.8 million and $57.7 million, respectively. These proceeds are net of $0.1 million of receivable for securities sold that had not settled at March 31, 2012 . Gains or losses on securities are determined on a specific identification basis.

The table above excludes an unrealized gain on equities invested in a rabbi trust of $14.0 thousand at March 31, 2012 and an unrealized loss of $37.7 thousand at December 31, 2011.
 
The determination of whether unrealized losses are “other-than-temporary” requires judgment based on subjective as well as objective factors. Factors we considered and resources we used in our determination include:

the intent to sell the security;
whether it is more likely than not that there will be a requirement to sell the security before our anticipated recovery;
whether the unrealized loss is credit-driven or a result of changes in market interest rates;
the length of time the security’s fair value has been below our cost;
the extent to which fair value is less than cost basis;
historical operating, balance sheet and cash flow data contained in issuer SEC filings;
issuer news releases;
near-term prospects for improvement in the issuer and/or its industry;
industry research and communications with industry specialists and
third-party research and credit rating reports.
We regularly evaluate for potential impairment each security position that has any of the following: a fair value of less than 95% of its book value, an unrealized loss that equals or exceeds $100,000 or one or more impairment charges recorded in the past. In addition, we review positions held related to an issuer of a previously impaired security.

(1) Tax excludes valuation reserve
For fixed maturity securities that are other-than-temporarily impaired, we assess our intent to sell and the likelihood that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of our amortized cost. If a fixed maturity security is considered other-than-temporarily impaired but we do not intend to and are not more than likely to be required to sell the security before our recovery to amortized cost, we separate the amount of the impairment into a credit loss component and the amount due to all other factors. The excess of the amortized cost over the present value of the expected cash flows determines the credit loss component of an impairment charge on a fixed maturity security. The present value is determined using the best estimate of cash flows discounted at (1) the effective interest rate implicit at the date of acquisition for non-structured securities or (2) the book yield for structured securities. The techniques and assumptions for determining the best estimate of cash flows vary depending on the type of security. We recognize the credit loss component of an impairment charge in net earnings and the non-credit component in accumulated other comprehensive income. If we intend to sell or will, more likely than not, be required to sell a security, we treat the entire amount of the impairment as a credit loss.

Note 6 Long-Term Debt
In February 2004, we issued $200 million principal of senior notes due February 2014 (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes accrue interest at an effective yield of 5.55% and bear a coupon of 5.5%, payable semiannually. At the time we issued the Senior Notes, we capitalized $2.1 million of debt issuance costs, which we are amortizing over the term of the Senior Notes. During 2009, we repurchased $5.0 million of our debt, bringing the outstanding principal to $195.0 million. We calculated the March 31, 2012 fair value of $204.9 million using a 237 basis point spread to the two-year U.S. Treasury Note of 0.331%.
In August 2011, we renewed our agreement for a $50 million three-year revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) that requires us to meet certain financial and other covenants. We are currently in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement. At March 31, 2012, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement.
 
Note 7 Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $1.2 million and $2.4 million, respectively. The following table reconciles our income taxes at statutory rates to our effective provision for income taxes (in thousands):

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we increased our tax valuation allowance by approximately $0.2 million. This adjustment was due to an increase in the reserve for other-than-temporary impaired securities.

During the first quarter of 2011, we decreased our tax valuation allowance by approximately $1.1 million. This adjustment was due to both a decrease in the reserve for other-than-temporary impaired securities and utilization of our capital loss carryforward.

Note 11 Subsequent Events

In April 2012, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell an inactive shell insurance subsidiary to an
unaffiliated third party. The sale is expected to close by June 30, 2012, pending regulatory approval. In the future, we intend to sell or dissolve other inactive shell companies. The primary reason for the sale of these shell companies is to reduce the administrative costs to maintain licenses in companies not needed to support our insurance operations.

ITEM 2
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain “forward-looking statements” which anticipate results based on our estimates, assumptions and plans that are subject to uncertainty. We make these statements subject to the safe-harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements in this report not dealing with historical results or current facts are forward-looking and we base them on estimates, assumptions and projections. Statements which include the words “assumes,” “believes,” “seeks,” “expects,” “may,” “should,” “intends,” “likely,” “targets,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “estimates” or the negative version of those words and similar statements of a future or forward-looking nature identify forward-looking statements. Examples of such forward-looking statements include statements relating to expectations concerning market conditions, premium growth, earnings, investment performance, expected losses, rate changes and loss experience.
The primary events or circumstances that could cause actual results to differ materially from what we expect include determinations with respect to reserve adequacy, realized gains or losses on the investment portfolio (including other-than-temporary impairments for credit losses), rising bodily injury loss cost trends, undesired business mix or risk profile for new business, elevated unemployment rates and the proliferation of illegal immigration legislation in key Focus States. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any of the forward-looking statements. For a more detailed discussion of some of the foregoing risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements see “Risk Factors” contained in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011.

OVERVIEW
We continued to generate strong premium growth in the first quarter of 2012. This quarter marks the tenth consecutive quarter that we have experienced growth in written premiums. This increase is a result of multiple factors, including a shift in business mix towards polices offering broader coverage, rate decreases taken in 2011 in certain states and competitors' rate increases in certain states. See Results of Operations – Underwriting – Premium for a more detailed discussion of our gross written premium growth.
Net earnings and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were $4.3 million and $0.35, respectively, compared to $10.2 million and $0.81, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease in diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2012 is primarily due to a decline in favorable development in 2012 coupled with a decline in realized gains on investments.
We had a net realized gain on investments of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and a net realized gain of $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Included in the net realized gain for the first quarter of 2012 is $0.6 million of other-than-temporary impairments on fixed income securities compared with $0.6 million of impairments on fixed income securities during the first quarter of 2011.
Included in net earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were $0.1 million ($0.1 million pre-tax) of favorable development on prior accident year loss and LAE reserves and $2.2 million ($3.4 million pre-tax) of favorable development on prior accident year loss and LAE reserves, respectively. The following table displays combined ratio results by accident year developed through March 31, 2012.

Recent accident years are less developed than prior years and must be interpreted with caution. However, the upward trend in the 2010 through 2012 accident period combined ratios reflects an increase in new business during 2010 and 2012. Our new business combined ratios typically run 20 to 30 points higher than renewal business combined ratios due to higher commission and acquisition expenses as well as typically higher loss ratios. See Results of Operations – Underwriting – Profitability for a more detailed discussion of our underwriting results.
Our book value per share increased 1.0% from $56.05 at December 31, 2011 to $56.61 at March 31, 2012. This increase was primarily due to earnings, net of shareholder dividends, and the increase in unrealized gains on investments for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Underwriting
Premium
Our insurance subsidiaries provide personal automobile insurance products with a concentration on nonstandard auto insurance. While there is no industry-recognized definition of nonstandard auto insurance, we believe that it is generally understood to mean coverage for drivers who, because of their driving record, age or vehicle type, represent higher than normal risks and pay higher rates for comparable coverage. We also write commercial vehicle insurance and insurance for classic collectible automobiles (“Classic Collector”).
We offer three primary products to individual drivers: the Low Cost product, which offers the most restrictive coverage, the Value Added product, which offers broader coverage and higher limits, and the Premier product, which we designed to offer the broadest coverage for standard and preferred risk drivers.
We are licensed to write insurance in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, but we focus our operations in targeted urban areas (“Urban Zones”) identified within selected Focus States that we believe offer the greatest opportunity for premium growth and profitability.
We classify the states in which we operate into three categories:
“Focus States” – We have identified Urban Zones in these states, which include Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Texas.
“Maintenance States” – We are maintaining our writings in these states, which include Alabama, Colorado, Illinois, South Carolina and Tennessee. We believe each state offers us an opportunity for underwriting profit.
“Other States” – Includes eight states where we maintain a renewal book of personal auto business.
We further classify territories within the Focus States into two categories:
“Urban Zones” – include the following urban areas:
Arizona – Phoenix and Tucson
California – Bay Area, Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Diego, and San Joaquin Valley
Florida – Jacksonville, Miami, Orlando, Sarasota and Tampa
Georgia – Atlanta
Nevada – Las Vegas
Pennsylvania – Allentown and Philadelphia
Texas – Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio
“Non-urban Zones” – include all remaining areas in the Focus States located outside of a designated Urban Zone.
We continually evaluate our market opportunities; thus, the Focus States, Urban Zones, Maintenance States and Other States may change over time as new market opportunities arise, as the allocation of resources changes or as regulatory environments change. At the beginning of 2012, we reclassified Illinois from a Focus State to a Maintenance State due to its low premium volume and underwriting profits. In the tables below, we have restated 2011 premium, policies in force and combined ratios to be consistent with the 2012 definition of Urban Zones, Focus States, Maintenance States and Other States.
Our net earned premium was as follows ($ in thousands):

Gross written premium grew 22.2% during the first quarter of 2012 compared with the same period of 2011. During the first three months of 2012, Infinity implemented rate revisions in various states with an overall rate increase of 2.2%. Policies in force at March 31, 2012 increased 11.6% compared with the same period in 2011. Gross written premium grew more than policies in force due to a shift in overall business mix toward policies offering broader coverage and higher average premiums as well as growth in Florida business, which has a higher average premium per policy than our other states.
During the first quarter of 2012, personal auto insurance gross written premium in our Focus States grew 23.4% when compared with the same period of 2011. The increase in gross written premium is primarily due to growth in California and Florida.
California gross written premium grew 15.0% during the first quarter of 2012. Rate actions taken by competitors and a shift in business mix to policies offering broader coverage and higher average premiums have stimulated premium growth in the state.

Florida gross written premium grew 69.4% during the first quarter of 2012. This growth is primarily a result of higher business retention and competitor rate increases.
Gross written premium in the Maintenance States declined 0.1% during the first quarter of 2012 primarily due to a decline in Illinois premium.
Our Commercial Vehicle gross written premium grew 18.5% during the first quarter of 2012. This growth is primarily due to rate actions taken during 2011 coupled with better retention for this product.
 
Gross written premium in our Classic Collector product grew 15.5% during the first quarter of 2012. This growth is primarily due to growth in Florida and Texas resulting from an increase in the number of agencies actively producing business for this product.

Profitability
A key operating performance measure of insurance companies is underwriting profitability, as opposed to overall profitability or net earnings. We measure underwriting profitability by the combined ratio. When the combined ratio is under 100%, we consider underwriting results profitable; when the ratio is over 100%, we consider underwriting results unprofitable. The combined ratio does not reflect investment income, other income, interest expense, corporate general and administrative expenses, other expenses or federal income taxes.
While we report financial results in accordance with GAAP for shareholder and other users’ purposes, we report it on a statutory basis for insurance regulatory purposes. We evaluate underwriting profitability based on a combined ratio calculated using statutory accounting principles. The statutory combined ratio represents the sum of the following ratios: (i) losses and LAE incurred as a percentage of net earned premium and (ii) underwriting expenses incurred, net of fees, as a percentage of net written premium. Certain expenses are treated differently under statutory and GAAP accounting principles. Under GAAP, commissions, premium taxes and other variable costs incurred in connection with writing new and renewal business are capitalized as deferred policy acquisition costs and amortized on a pro rata basis over the period in which the related premium is earned; on a statutory basis these items are expensed as incurred. We capitalize costs for computer software developed or obtained for internal use under GAAP and amortize the costs over the software’s useful life, rather than expense them as incurred, as required for statutory purposes. Additionally, bad debt charge-offs on agent balances and premium receivables are included only in the GAAP combined ratios.

NM: not meaningful due to the low premium.
In evaluating the profit performance of our business, we review underwriting profitability using statutory combined ratios. Accordingly, the discussion of underwriting results that follows will focus on these ratios and the components thereof, unless otherwise indicated.
The statutory combined ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2012 increased by 1.1 points from the same period of 2011. The first first quarter of 2012 included $0.1 million of favorable development on prior year loss and LAE reserves. The first quarter of 2011 included $3.4 million of favorable development on prior year loss and LAE reserves. Excluding the effect of

30

INFINITY PROPERTY AND CASUALTY CORPORATION 10-Q
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


development from all periods, the statutory combined ratio decreased by 0.3 points for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period of 2011 with an increase in the loss and LAE ratio offsetting a decline in the underwriting ratio.
The increase in the loss and LAE ratio is primarily attributable to higher frequencies resulting from greater focus on early recognition and settlement of claims, coupled with higher loss and LAE ratios due to an increase in new business in states like Florida. The expense ratio has declined primarily due to a reduction in advertising spend in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the first quarter of 2011, coupled with spreading fixed underwriting costs over a larger written premium base. We estimate our fixed underwriting expenses to be approximately $15.0 to $20.0 million per quarter.
The GAAP combined ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2012 increased by 1.5 points from the same period of 2011. Excluding the effect of development, the GAAP combined ratio increased by 0.1 points during the first quarter of 2012 compared to the same period of 2011. We expect the GAAP combined ratio, excluding reserve development, to be between 97.5% and 98.5% for the full year 2012.
Losses from catastrophes were $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $(0.1) million for the same period of 2011.
The combined ratio in the Focus States increased by 1.0 points for the three months ended March 31, 2012, primarily due to increases in the loss and LAE ratios in California and Florida. These increases were a result of a decline in favorable development in California coupled with an increase in new business in Florida. New business typically has higher loss and LAE ratios than renewal business. The increase in the loss and LAE ratio in the Focus States was partially offset by a decline in the underwriting ratio of 1.8 points. As we experience premium growth in these states, the ratio of fixed underwriting costs to premium has declined.
The combined ratio in the Maintenance States decreased by 27.2 points during the first quarter of 2012 when compared to the same period of 2011, primarily due to a decline in the loss and LAE ratio in Illinois. We reclassified Illinois from a Focus State to a Maintenance State in 2012 and slowed new business production which drove the decline in the loss and LAE ratio.
The combined ratio for the Commercial Vehicle product increased by 3.0 points during the first quarter of 2012, due to an increase in the loss and LAE ratio. This increase is a result of a decline in favorable development in this product. Excluding favorable development, the accident year combined ratio for this product is in the mid 90s.

Changes in investment income reflect fluctuations in market rates and changes in average invested assets. Net investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 declined compared to the same period in 2011 primarily due to a decline in book yields because of a general decline in market interest rates for high quality bonds.

For our securities held with unrealized losses, we believe, based on our analysis, that (i) we will recover our cost basis in these securities and (ii) we do not intend to sell the securities nor is it more likely than not that there will be a requirement to sell the securities before they recover in value. Should either of these beliefs change with regard to a particular security, a charge for impairment would likely be required. While it is not possible to predict accurately if or when a specific security will become impaired, charges for other-than-temporary impairments could be material to results of operations in a future period.
 
Interest Expense
The Senior Notes accrue interest at an effective yield of 5.55%. Refer to Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the Senior Notes. We recognized $2.7 million of interest expense on the Senior Notes in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $2.7 million for the same period of 2011.
Income Taxes
Our GAAP effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was 22.2% compared to 18.8% for the same period of 2011. See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on income taxes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Sources of Funds
We are a holding company and our insurance subsidiaries conduct our operations. Accordingly, we will have continuing cash needs for administrative expenses, the payment of interest on borrowings, shareholder dividends, share repurchases and taxes.
Funds to meet expenditures at the holding company level come primarily from dividends and tax payments from the insurance subsidiaries as well as cash and investments held by the holding company. As of March 31, 2012, the holding company had $152.4 million of cash and investments. In 2012, our insurance subsidiaries may pay us up to $53.1 million in ordinary dividends without prior regulatory approval.
Our insurance subsidiaries generate liquidity to satisfy their obligations primarily by collecting and investing premium in advance of paying claims and generating investment income on their $1.1 billion investment portfolio. Our insurance subsidiaries generated positive cash flows from operations of $23.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to positive operating cash flows of $26.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.
At March 31, 2012, we had outstanding $195.0 million principal of Senior Notes due 2014, bearing a fixed 5.5% interest rate. Interest payments on the Senior Notes of $5.4 million are due each February and August through maturity in February 2014. Refer to Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the Senior Notes.
In August 2011, we renewed our agreement for a $50 million three-year revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) that requires us to meet certain financial and other covenants. We are currently in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement. At March 31, 2012, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement.
Uses of Funds
In February 2012, we increased our quarterly dividend to $0.225 per share from $0.180 per share. At this current amount, our 2012 annualized dividend payments would be approximately $10.6 million.
 
On August 3, 2010 our Board of Directors adopted a share and debt repurchase program set to expire on December 31, 2011. On August 2, 2011, our Board of Directors increased the authority under this program by $50.0 million and extended the date to execute the program to December 31, 2012. During the first quarter of 2011, we repurchased 112,000 shares at an average cost, excluding commissions, of $60.39. During the first quarter of 2012, we repurchased 22,800 shares at an average cost, excluding commissions, of $55.97. As of March 31, 2012, we had $45.8 million of authority remaining under this program.
We believe that cash balances, cash flows generated from operations or borrowings, and maturities and sales of investments are adequate to meet our future liquidity needs and those of our insurance subsidiaries.
Reinsurance
We use excess of loss, catastrophe and extra-contractual loss reinsurance to mitigate the financial impact of large or
catastrophic losses. During 2012, our catastrophe reinsurance protection covers 100% of $25 million in excess of $5 million. Our excess of loss reinsurance provides protection for commercial auto losses up to $700,000 for claims in excess of $300,000 per occurrence. Our extra-contractual loss reinsurance provides protection for losses up to $10 million in excess of $5 million for any single extra-contractual loss. We also use reinsurance to mitigate losses on our Classic Collector business.
Premium ceded under all reinsurance agreements for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $1.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively.
Investments
Our consolidated investment portfolio at March 31, 2012 contained approximately $1.2 billion in fixed maturity securities and $41.5 million in equity securities, all carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of shareholders’ equity, on an after-tax basis. At March 31, 2012, we had pre-tax net unrealized gains of $45.2 million on fixed maturities and pre-tax net unrealized gains of $15.1 million on equity securities. Combined, the pre-tax net unrealized gain increased by $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
Approximately 94.3% of our fixed maturity investments at March 31, 2012 were rated “investment grade,” and as of the same date, the average credit rating of our fixed maturity portfolio was AA-. 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

33

INFINITY PROPERTY AND CASUALTY CORPORATION 10-Q
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


portfolio is more likely to generate a stable and predictable investment return.
Since we carry all of these securities at fair value in our balance sheet, there is virtually no effect on liquidity or financial condition upon the sale and ultimate realization of unrealized gains and losses. The average option adjusted duration of our fixed maturity portfolio is 3.1 years at March 31, 2012.
Fair values of instruments are based on (i) quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1), (ii) quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets (Level 2) or (iii) valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable in the marketplace (Level 3).
Level 1 securities are U.S. Treasury securities, an exchange-traded fund and equity securities held in a rabbi trust. Level 2 securities are comprised of securities whose fair value was determined using observable market inputs. Level 3 securities are comprised of (i) securities for which there is no active or inactive market for similar instruments, (ii) securities whose fair value is determined based on unobservable inputs and (iii) securities that nationally recognized statistical rating organizations do not rate.

Other than securities backed by the U.S. government or issued by its agencies, our fixed income portfolio contains no securities issued by any single issuer that exceed 1% of the fair value of the fixed income portfolio.
Since 2007, the mortgage industry has experienced a rise in mortgage delinquencies and foreclosures, particularly among lower quality exposures (“sub-prime” and “Alt-A”). As a result, many securities with underlying sub-prime and Alt-A mortgages as collateral experienced significant drops in market value. We have only modest exposure to these types of investments. At March 31, 2012, our fixed maturity portfolio included three securities having a fair value of $1.0 million with exposure to sub-prime and Alt-A mortgages. Although these securities have sub-prime mortgages as underlying collateral, all are rated AA or better.
