Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A.     DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

ICC Holdings, Inc. is a Pennsylvania corporation that was organized in 2016. As used in this Form 10-Q, references to “the Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the consolidated group for the period after the completion of the stock conversion and refer to ICC and its subsidiaries for the period prior to the stock conversion. On a stand-alone basis ICC Holdings, Inc is referred to as the “Parent Company.” The consolidated group consists of the holding company, ICC Holdings, Inc., an operating insurance company, Illinois Casualty Company (ICC), and ICC’s three wholly-owned subsidiaries, Beverage Insurance Agency, Inc., an inactive insurance agency, Estrella Innovative Solutions, Inc., an outsourcing company, and ICC Realty, LLC, a real estate services and holding company. ICC is an Illinois domiciled company.

ICC Holdings, Inc. was formed so that it could acquire all of the capital stock of ICC in a mutual-to-stock conversion. The plan of conversion was approved by ICC policyholders at a special meeting on March 17, 2017. Simultaneously, surplus notes totaling $1.65 million were converted into 165,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.The Company’s offering closed on March 24, 2017, and our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) purchased 350,000 of the shares in the offering. In order to complete the purchase of common shares, the ESOP borrowed money from ICC. ICC Holdings, Inc. secured a loan with American Bank & Trust in March 2017 and used the proceeds to repay ICC for the money borrowed by the ESOP. On March 28, 2017, the Company’s stocks began trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the “ICCH” ticker. The Company paid $1.0million of underwriting fees to Griffin Financial Group, LLC. Proceeds received from the offering net of offering costs and underwriting fees was $29.1 million.

Prior to the conversion on March 24, 2017, ICC Holdings, Inc did not engage in any operations. After the conversion, ICC Holdings, Inc’s primary assets are the outstanding capital stock of ICC and a portion of the net proceeds from the stock offering completed in connection with the mutual-to-stock conversion. On the effective date of the conversion, ICC became a wholly owned subsidiary of ICC Holdings, Inc. The mutual to stock conversion was accounted for as a change in corporate form with the historic basis of ICC’s assets, liabilities, and equity unchanged as a result. The condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2017, include ICC Holdings and subsidiaries. The financial statements as of December 31, 2016, as of June 30, 2016, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, represent the financial position and results of operations of ICC and its subsidiaries only, as the conversion to stock form was completed on March 24, 2017.

We are a specialty insurance carrier primarily underwriting commercial multi-peril, liquor liability, workers’ compensation, and umbrella liability coverages for the food and beverage industry through our subsidiary insurance company, ICC. ICC writes business in Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Wisconsin, and Ohio and markets through independent agents. Approximately 36.5% and 39.3% of the premium is written in Illinois for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, approximately 36.2% and 39.3% of the premium is written in Illinois. ICC has three wholly owned subsidiaries, Beverage Insurance Agency, Estrella Innovative Solutions, Inc., and ICC Realty, LLC.; however the Company operates as a single segment.

B.     PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial reporting and with the instructions to Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  As such, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2016, was derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of ICC as of that date. Management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, and all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position at June 30, 2017, and the results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries for all periods presented have been made. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for a full year.

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period.  These amounts are inherently subject to change and actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

~  7  ~

C.     SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company reported significant accounting policies in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. The following are new or revised disclosures.

EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

The Company recognizes compensation expense related to its employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) ratably during each year for the shares committed to be allocated to participants that year, determined with reference to the fair market value of our stock at the time the commitment to allocate the shares is accrued and recognized. For purposes of calculating earnings per share, the Company includes the weighted average ESOP shares committed to be released for the period. The ESOP covers all employees.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) are calculated by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The denominator for basic and diluted EPS includes ESOP shares committed to be released.  The unaudited pro forma earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 are provided to be used as a basis for comparison of current period earnings. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding arecomputed as if the resulting shares from the initial public offering,whichwas completed in March 2017, were outstanding for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016.

D.     PROSPECTIVE ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

For information regarding accounting standards that the Company has not yet adopted, see the “Prospective Accounting Standards” in Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Company’s 2016 Form 10-K. The Company maintains its status as an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). We have taken advantage of the extended transition period provided by Section 107 of the JOBS Act. We decided to comply with the effective dates for financial accounting standards applicable to emerging growth companies at a later date in compliance with the requirements in Sections 107(b)(2) and (3) of the JOBS Act. Such decision is irrevocable.

E.     PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Annually, the Company reviews the major asset classes of property and equipment held for impairment. For the periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized no impairments.  Property and equipment are summarized as follows:

	As of
	June 30,		December 31,

Accumulated depreciation		(4,571,613)		(4,308,247)

F.     COMPREHENSIVE EARNINGS

Comprehensive earnings include net earnings plus unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investment securities, net of tax. In reporting the components of comprehensive earnings on a net basis in the statement of earnings, the Company used a 34 percent tax rate.

2.     INVESTMENTS

The Company’s investments include fixed income debt securities and common and preferred stock equity securities. All of the Company’s investments are presented as available-for-sale (AFS), which are carried at fair value. When available, quoted market prices are obtained to determine fair value for the Company’s investments. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using a secondary pricing source or using quoted market prices of similar securities. The Company has no investment securities for which fair value is determined using Level 3 inputs as defined in Note 3 – Fair Value Disclosures.  Realized gains and losses on disposition of investments are based on specific identification of the investments sold on the settlement date, which does not differ significantly from trade date accounting.

As of June 30, 2017, the Company held 6 common equity and preferred stock securities in an unrealized loss position. Of these 6 securities, none have been in an unrealized loss position for 12 consecutive months or longer. As of December 31, 2016, the Company held 21 equity securities that were in unrealized loss positions. Of these 21 securities, two were in an unrealized loss position for 12 consecutive months or longer and represented $33,929 in unrealized losses.

The fixed income portfolio contained 49 securities in an unrealized loss position as of June 30, 2017. Of these 49 securities, three have been in an unrealized loss position for 12 consecutive months or longer and represent $10,125 in unrealized losses. All fixed income securities in the investment portfolio continue to pay the expected coupon payments under the contractual terms of the securities. Credit-related impairments on fixed income securities that we do not plan to sell, and for which we are not more likely than not to be required to sell, are recognized in net earnings. Any non-credit related impairment is recognized in comprehensive earnings. Based on management’s analysis, the fixed income portfolio is of a high creditquality and it is believed it will recover the amortized cost basis of the fixed income securities. Management monitors the

~  12  ~

credit quality of the fixed income investments to assess if it is probable that the Company will receive its contractual or estimated cash flows in the form of principal and interest.

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recognized in net earnings $57,316 of other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) losses on an ETF included in common stock that was impaired during the second quarter of 2017. During the first six months of 2016, the Company did not recognize any impairment losses. For all fixed income securities at a  loss at June 30, 2017, management believes it is probable the Company will receive all contractual payments in the form of principal and interest. In addition, the Company is not required to, nor does it intend to sell these investments prior to recovering the entire amortized cost basis of each security, which may be maturity. Management does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2017. Based on managent’s analysis, it was concluded that the fixed maturity securities in an unrealized loss position were not other-than-temporarily impared at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

3.     FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

Fair value is defined as the price in the principal market that would be received for an asset to facilitate an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value of certain financial instruments is determined based on their underlying characteristics and relevant transactions in the marketplace. GAAP guidance requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The guidance also describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value.

The following are the levels of the fair value hierarchy and a brief description of the type of valuation inputs that are used to establish each level:

· Level 1 is applied to valuations based on readily available, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.

· Level 2 is applied to valuations based upon quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in inactive markets; or valuations based on models where the significant inputs are observable (e.g. interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, default rates, loss severities) or can be corroborated by observable market data.

· Level 3 is applied to valuations that are derived from techniques in which one or more of the significant inputs are unobservable. Financial assets are classified based upon the lowest level of significant input that is used to determine fair value.

As a part of the process to determine fair value, management utilizes widely recognized, third-party pricing sources to determine fair values. Management has obtained an understanding of the third-party pricing sources’ valuation methodologies and inputs. The following is a description of the valuation techniques used for financial assets that are measured at fair value, including the general classification of such assets pursuant to the fair value hierarchy.

Corporate, Agencies, and Municipal Bonds—The pricing vendor employs a multi-dimensional model which uses standard inputs including (listed in order of priority for use) benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, market bids/offers and other reference data. The pricing vendor also monitors market indicators, as well as industry and economic events. All bonds valued using these techniques are classified as Level 2. All Corporate, Agencies, and Municipal securities are deemed Level 2.

Mortgage-backed Securities (MBS)/Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMO) and Asset-backed Securities (ABS)—The pricing vendor evaluation methodology includes principally interest rate movements and new issue data. Evaluation of the tranches (non-volatile, volatile, or credit sensitivity) is based on the pricing vendors’ interpretation of accepted modeling and pricing conventions. This information is then used to determine the cash flows for each tranche, benchmark yields, pre-payment assumptions and to incorporate collateral performance. To evaluate CMO volatility, an option adjusted spread model is used in combination with models that simulate interest rate paths to determine market price information. This process allows the pricing vendor to obtain evaluations of a broad universe of securities in a way that reflects changes in yield curve, index rates, implied volatility, mortgage rates, and recent trade activity. MBS/CMO and ABS with corroborated and observable inputs are classified as Level 2. All MBS/CMO and ABS holdings are deemed Level 2.

U.S. Treasury Bonds, Common Stocks and Exchange Traded Funds—U.S. treasury bonds and exchange traded equities have readily observable price levels and are classified as Level 1 (fair value based on quoted market prices). All common stock holdings are deemed Level 1.

~  13  ~

Preferred Stock—Preferred stocks do not have readily observable prices, but do have quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active; and inputs other than quoted prices and are classified as Level 2. All preferred stock holdings are deemed Level 2.

Due to the relatively short-term nature of cash, cash equivalents, and the mortgage on the home office, their carrying amounts are reasonable estimates of fair value. Reported in Note 4–Debt, the surplus notes, capital lease obligations, and other debt obligations are carried at face value and given that there is no readily available market for these to trade in, management believes that face value accurately reflects fair value. Cash and cash equivalents are classified as Level 1 of the hierarchy. The mortgage on the home office and the surplus notes are carried at Level 2 of the hierarchy.

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2017, are as summarized below:

Under the agreement, Bofi Federal Bank purchased electronic data processing software, vehicles, and other assets which are leased to the Company. These assets remain on the Company’s books due to provisions within the agreement that trigger capital lease accounting. To secure the lowest rate possible of 4.7%, the Company pledged additional bonds totaling $860,969 during 2016, bringing the total pledged to $1,808,523 as of June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, respectively.

5.     REINSURANCE

In the ordinary course of business, the Company assumes and cedes premiums and selected insured risks with other insurance companies, known as reinsurance. A large portion of the reinsurance is put into effect under contracts known as treaties and, in some instances, by negotiation on each individual risk (known as facultative reinsurance). In addition, there are several types of treaties including quota share, excess of loss and catastrophe reinsurance contracts that protect against losses over stipulated amounts arising from any one occurrence or event. The arrangements allow the Company to pursue greater diversification of business and serve to limit the maximum net loss to a single event, such as a catastrophe. Through the quantification of exposed policy limits in each region and the extensive use of computer-assisted modeling techniques, management monitors the concentration of risks exposed to catastrophic events.

Through the purchase of reinsurance, the Company also generally limits its net loss on any individual risk to a maximum of $500,000, although certain treaties contain an annual aggregate deductible before reinsurance applies.

Premiums, written and earned, along with losses and settlement expenses incurred for the periods presented is summarized as follows:

7.     INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective tax rate for the sixmonth period ended June 30, 2017, was 35.4%, compared to 38.1% for the same period in 2016. Effective rates are dependent upon components of pretax earnings and the related tax effects.

Income tax expense for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, differed from the amounts computed by applying the U.S. federal tax rate of 34% to pretax income from continuing operations as demonstrated in the following tables:

Total	$	336,421	$	548,350

~  17  ~

The Company has recorded its deferred tax assets and liabilities using the statutory federal tax rate of 34%. Management believes it is more likely than not that all deferred tax assets will be recovered as the result of future operations, which will generate sufficient taxable income to realize the deferred tax asset. In addition, it is believed that when these deferred items reverse in future years, taxable income will be taxed at an effective rate of 34%.  

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company does not have any capital or operating loss carryforwards. Periods still subject to Internal Revenue Service (IRS) audit include 2013 through current year. There are currently no open tax exams.

ESOP

In connection with our conversion and public offering, we establish an ESOP. The ESOP borrowed from the Company to purchase350,000 shares in the offering. The issuance of the shares to the ESOP resulted in a contra account established in the shareholder’s equity section of the balance sheet for the unallocated shares at an amount equal to their $10.00 per share purchase price.

The Company may make discretionary contributions to the ESOP and pay dividends on unallocated shares to the ESOP, the ESOP uses funds it receiveds to repay the loan. When loan payments are made, ESOP shares are allocated to participants based on relative compensation and expense is recorded. Nocontributions to the ESOP were made during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

A compensationexpense charge is booked monthly during each year for the shares committed to be allocated to particpants that year, determined with reference to the fair market value of our stock at the time the commitment to allocate the shares is accrued and recognized. For the six months ended June  30, 2017, we recognized compensation expense of $141,328 related to 8,680shares of our common stock that were committed to be released to partipants’ accounts at December 31, 2017. Of the 8,680 shares committed to be released, 2,389 shares were commited on June 30, 2017 and had no impact on the weighted average common shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.

Because forward-looking information is subject to various risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from that expressed or implied by the forward-looking information.

All subsequent written and oral forward-looking information attributable to ICC Holdings, Inc. or any person acting on our behalf is expressly qualified in its entirety by the cautionary statement contained or referred to in this section.

In the following discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition, certain financial measures may be considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under Securities and Exchange Commission rules.  These rules require supplemental explanation and reconciliation, which is provided in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Management uses the non-GAAP measures “losses and settlement expense ratio”, “expense ratio” and “combined ratio” in its evaluation of business and financial performance. These disclosures have limitations as an analytical tool, should not be viewed as a substitute for net earnings determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Management believes that this non-GAAP supplemental information is helpful in understanding the Company’s ongoing operating results.

Overview

ICC is a regional property and casualty insurance company incorporated in Illinois and focused exclusively on the food and beverage industry. On the effective date of the conversion, ICCbecame a wholly owned subsidiary of ICC Holdings, Inc. The consolidated financial statements of ICCprior to the conversion became the consolidated financial statements of ICC Holdings, Inc. upon completion of the conversion.

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, we had direct written premium of $26,410,000, net premiums earned of $21,549,000, and net income of $614,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, we had direct premiums written of $25,878,000, net premiums earned of $20,846,000, and net income of $891,000. At June 30, 2017, we had total assets of $149,172,000 and equity of $64,065,000. At December 31, 2016, we had total assets of $122,160,000 and equity of $33,600,000.

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to: not required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements; exemptions from the requirements of holding an annual non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and nonbinding stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have taken advantage of the extended transition period provided by Section 107 of the JOBS Act. However, we may decide to comply with the effective dates for financial accounting standards applicable to emerging growth companies at a later date in compliance with the requirements in Sections 107(b)(2) and (3) of the JOBS Act. If we do so, we will prominently disclose this decision in the first periodic report or registration statement following our decision, and such decision is irrevocable.

Principal Revenue and Expense Items

We derive our revenue primarily from premiums earned, net investment income and net realized gains (losses) from investments.

Gross and net premiums written

Gross premiums written is equal to direct and assumed premiums before the effect of ceded reinsurance. Net premiums written is the difference between gross premiums written and premiums ceded or paid to reinsurers (ceded premiums written).

Premiums earned

Premiums earned is the earned portion of our net premiums written. Gross premiums written include all premiums recorded by an insurance company during a specified policy period. Insurance premiums on property and casualty insurance contracts are recognized in proportion to the underlying risk insured and are earned ratably over the duration of the policies. At the end of each accounting period, the portion of the premiums that is not yet earned is included in unearned premiums and is realized as revenue in subsequent periods over the remaining term of the policy. Our policies typically have a term of twelve

~  20  ~

months. Thus, for example, for a policy that is written on July 1, 2017, one-half of the premiums would be earned in 2017 and the other half would be earned in 2018.

Net investment income and net realized gains (losses) on investments

We invest our surplus and the funds supporting our insurance liabilities (including unearned premiums and unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses) in cash, cash equivalents, equities, fixed maturity securities and real estate. Investment income includes interest and dividends earned on invested assets. Net realized gains and losses on invested assets are reported separately from net investment income. We recognize realized gains when invested assets are sold for an amount greater than their cost or amortized cost (in the case of fixed maturity securities) and recognize realized losses when investment securities are written down as a result of an other than temporary impairment or sold for an amount less than their cost or amortized cost, as applicable. Our portfolio of investment securities is managed by an independent third party and manager specializing in the insurance industry.

ICC’s expenses consist primarily of:

Loss and settlement expense

Loss and settlement expenses represent the largest expense item and include: (1) claim payments made, (2) estimates for future claim payments and changes in those estimates for prior periods, and (3) costs associated with investigating, defending and adjusting claims.

Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costsand other operating expenses

Expenses incurred to underwrite risks are referred to as policy acquisition expenses. Variable policy acquisition costs consist of commission expenses, premium taxes and certain other underwriting expenses that vary with and are primarily related to the writing and acquisition of new and renewal business. These policy acquisition costs are deferred and amortized over the effective period of the related insurance policies. Fixed policy acquisition costs are expensed as incurred. These costs include salaries, rent, office supplies, and depreciation. Other operating expenses consist primarily of information technology costs, accounting and internal control salaries, as well as audit and legal expenses.

Income taxes

We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes arise from the recognition of temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of our assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The effect of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period of the enactment date.

Key Financial Measures

We evaluate our insurance operations by monitoring certain key measures of growth and profitability. In addition to reviewing our financial performance based on results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), we utilize certain non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are valuable in managing our business and for comparison to our peers. These non-GAAP measures are combined ratio, written premiums, underwriting income, the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio, the expense ratio, the ratio of net written premiums to statutory surplus and return on average equity.

We measure growth by monitoring changes in gross premiums written and net premiums written. We measure underwriting profitability by examining losses and settlement expense, underwriting expense and combined ratios. We also measure profitability by examining underwriting income (loss) and net income (loss).

Loss and settlement expense ratio

The loss and settlement expense ratio is the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of loss and settlement expenses incurred to premiums earned. We measure the loss ratio on an accident year and calendar year loss basis to measure underwriting profitability. An accident year loss ratio measures loss and loss adjustment expenses for insured events occurring in a particular year, regardless of when they are reported, as a percentage of premiums earned during that year. A calendar year loss ratio measures loss and settlement expense for insured events occurring during a particular year and the change in loss reserves from prior accident years as a percentage of premiums earned during that year.

~  21  ~

Expense ratio

The underwriting expense ratio is the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and other operating expenses to premiums earned, and measures our operational efficiency in producing, underwriting and administering our insurance business.

GAAP combined ratio

Our GAAP combined ratio is the sum of the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio and the expense ratio and measures our overall underwriting profit. If the GAAP combined ratio is below 100%, we are making an underwriting profit. If our combined ratio is at or above 100%, we are not profitable without investment income and may not be profitable if investment income is insufficient.

Net premiums written to statutory surplus ratio

The net premiums written to statutory surplus ratio represents the ratio of net premiums written, after reinsurance ceded, to statutory surplus. This ratio measures our exposure to pricing errors in our current book of business. The higher the ratio, the greater the impact on surplus should pricing prove inadequate.

Underwriting income (loss)

Underwriting income (loss) measures the pre-tax profitability of our insurance operations. It is derived by subtracting loss and loss adjustment expense, amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs, and other operating expenses from earned premiums. Each of these items is presented as a caption in our statements of operations.

Net income (loss) and return on average equity

We use net income (loss) to measure our profit and return on average equity to measure our effectiveness in utilizing equity to generate net income. In determining return on average equity for a given year, net income (loss) is divided by the average of the beginning and ending equity for that year.

Critical Accounting Policies

The accounting policies and estimates considered by management to be critically important in the preparation and understanding of the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures are presented in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of the Company’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Results of Operations

Our results of operations are influenced by factors affecting the property and casualty insurance industry in general. The operating results of the United States property and casualty insurance industry are subject to significant variations due to competition, weather, catastrophic events, regulation, general economic conditions, judicial trends, fluctuations in interest rates and other changes in the investment environment.

Our premium growth and underwriting results have been, and continue to be, influenced by market conditions. Pricing in the property and casualty insurance industry historically has been cyclical. During a soft market cycle, price competition is more significant than during a hard market cycle and makes it difficult to attract and retain properly priced commercial business. A hard market typically has a positive effect on premium growth.

The following summarizes our results for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016:

Premiums

Direct premiums written grew by $532,000, or 2.1%, to $26,410,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017from $25,878,000 for the same period of 2016.Net written premium grew by $598,000, or 2.7%, to $22,546,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $21,948,000 for the same period in 2016. Net premiums earned grew by $703,000, or 3.4%, in the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to increased organic growth.

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, we ceded to reinsurers $3,941,000 of earned premiums, compared to $3,849,000 of earned premiums for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Ceded earned premiums as a percent of direct premiums written was  14.9% in the six months ended June 30, 2017, and 14.9% in the six months ended June 30, 2016.

~  23  ~

Premiums are earned ratably over the term of the policy whereas written premiums are reflected on the effective date of the policy.

Other Income

Other income is derived from policies we write and represents additional charges to policyholders for services outside of the premium charge, such as installment billing or policy issuance costs. Another component of other income is attributable to sales made by the Company’s subsidiary, Estrella Innovative Solutions, Inc. Other income increased by $73,000 or 96.1% during the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same period of 2016 primarily as a result of an increase in third party sales made by Estrella Innovative Solutions, Inc. as well as a slight growth in premium volume.  

Unpaid Losses and Settlement Expenses

The following table details our unpaid losses and settlement expenses.

	For the Six-Months Ended
	June 30,		June 30,
(In thousands)	2017		2016
Unpaid losses and settlement expense - beginning of the period:
Gross	$	52,817	$	61,056
Less: Ceded		12,115		19,158
Net		40,702		41,898
Increase (decrease) in incurred losses and settlement expense:
Current year		13,804		12,781
Prior years		(340)		(224)
Total incurred		13,464		12,557
Deduct: Loss and settlement expense payments for claims incurred:
Current year		4,727		2,608
Prior years		9,498		10,017
Total paid		14,225		12,625
Net unpaid losses and settlement expense - end of the period		39,941		41,830
Plus: Reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses		9,750		15,557
Gross unpaid losses and settlement expense - end of the period	$	49,691	$	57,387

Net unpaid losses and settlement expense decreased $1,889,000, or 4.5%, in the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016.

Losses and Settlement Expenses

Losses and settlement expenses increased by $907,000, or 7.2%, to $13,464,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, from $12,557,000 for the same period in 2016. The increase in losses and settlement expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2017 is primarily due to an increase in frequency and severity of fire and storm losses as well as higher retention of property losses compared to the same period in 2016.

Policy Acquisition Costs and Other Operating Expenses and the Expense Ratio

Policy acquisition costs are costs we incur to issue policies, which include commissions, premium taxes, underwriting reports, and underwriter compensation costs. The Company offsets the direct commissions it pays with ceded commissions it receives from reinsurers. Other operating expenses consist primarily of information technology costs, accounting and internal control salaries, as well as audit and legal expenses. Policy acquisition costs and other operating expenses increased by $912,000 or 12.1%. The increase in policy acquisition costs and other operating expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2017 is primarily driven by increases in the other operating expenses. This is due to additional costs associated with operating as a public company which did not occur in previous years.

Our expense ratio is calculated by dividing the sum of policy acquisition costs and operating expenses by net earned premiums. We use the expense ratio to evaluate the operating efficiency of our consolidated operations. Costs that cannot be readily identifiable as a direct cost of a product line remain in Corporate and Other.

Our expense ratio increased by 305 basis points from 36.19% to 39.24% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to 2016.

~  24  ~

General Corporate Expenses

General corporate expenses consist primarily of occupancy costs, such as rent and utilities. These costs are largely fixed and, therefore, do not vary significantly with premium volume but do vary with the Company’s changes in properties held for investment. Accordingly, our general corporate expenses increased by $69,000, or 34.7%, in the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016.

Investment Income

Net investment income increased by $391,000, or 50.8% during the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016, primarily from the composition of the investment portfolio. Average cash and invested assets during the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $95,417,000 compared to $78,335,000 during the same period in 2016, an increase of $17,082000, or 21.8%. The increase in the portfolio was primarily due to proceeds from the initial public offering that closed on March 24, 2017.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased to $110,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $92,000 for the same period during 2016. This 19.6% increase year over year reflects the Company’s financing of certain assets under financial sales-leaseback transactions as well as interest expense on debt agreements entered into during 2016 and 2017. See Financial Position – Leaseheld Obligations and Financial Position – Debt Obligations.

Income Tax Expense

We reported income tax expense of $336,000 and $548,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The decrease in income tax expense in 2017 relates to lower levels of pretax earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was 35.4%, compared to 38.1% for the same period in 2016. Effective rates are dependent upon components of pretax earnings and the related tax effects. The effective rate was lower for the six months ended Junce 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 primarily due to favorable provision adjustments and an increase in the dividends received deduction.

The Company has not established a valuation allowance against any of the net deferred tax assets.

The following summarizes our results for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016:

Premiums

Direct premiums written were relatively flat, increasing by  $20,000, or 0.1%, from the three months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same period of 2016, while net written premium grew by $113,000, or 1.0%, during the same period. Net premiums earned grew by $156,000, or 1.5%, in the three months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to increased organic growth and lower levels of premium ceded to reinsurance.

For the three months ended June 30, 2017, we ceded to reinsurers $1,938,000 of earned premiums, compared to $1,976,000 of earned premiums for the three months ended June 30, 2016. Ceded earned premiums as a percent of direct premiums written were 14.0% in the three months ended June 30, 2017, and 14.3% in the three months ended June 30, 2016.

~  26  ~

Premiums are earned ratably over the term of the policy whereas written premiums are reflected on the effective date of the policy.

Other Income

Other income is derived from policies we write and represents additional charges to policyholders for services outside of the premium charge, such as installment billing or policy issuance costs. Another component of other income is attributable to sales made by the Company’s subsidiary, Estrella Innovative Solutions, Inc. Other income increased by $47,000 or 269.1% during the three months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 primarily as a result of an increase in third party sales made by Estrella Innovative Solutions, Inc. as well as a slight growth in premium volume.  

Losses and Settlement Expenses

Losses and settlement expenses increased by $687,000, or 11.1%, to $6,864,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, from $6,177,000 for the same period in 2016. The increase in losses and settlement expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2017 is primarily due to an increase in frequency and severity of fire and storm losses as well as higher retention of property losses compared to the same period in 2016.

Policy Acquisition Costs and Other Operating Expenses and the Expense Ratio

Policy acquisition costs and other operating expenses increased by $709,000 or 17.7% for the three months ended June 20, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. The increase in policy acquisition costs and other operating expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2017 is primarily driven by increases in the other operating expenses. This is due to additional costs associated with operating as a public company which did not occur in previous years.

Our expense ratio is calculated by dividing the sum of policy acquisition costs and operating expenses by net earned premiums. We use the expense ratio to evaluate the operating efficiency of our consolidated operations. Costs that cannot be readily identifiable as a direct cost of a product line remain in Corporate and Other. Our expense ratio increased by 607 basis points from 38.00% to 44.07% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to 2016.

General Corporate Expenses

Our general corporate expenses increased by $22,000, or 20.6%, in the three months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016.

Investment Income

Net investment income increased by $267,000, or 63.3% during the three months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016, primarily from the composition of the investment portfolio. Average cash and invested assets during the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $112,378,000 compared to $80,174,000 during the same period in 2016, an increase of $32,204,000, or 40.2%. The increase in the portfolio was primarily due to proceeds from the initial public offering that closed on March 24, 2017.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased to $57,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 from $50,000 for the same period during 2016. This 14.0% increase year over year reflects the Company’s financing of certain assets under financial sales-leaseback transactions as well as interest expense on debt agreements entered into during 2016 and 2017. See Financial Position – Leaseheld Obligations and Financial Position – Debt Obligations.

Income Tax Expense

We reported income tax benefit of $128,000 and income tax expense of $243,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The flip to income tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2017, versus income tax expense for the same period in 2016 relates to a  net loss before income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to a net earnings before income taxes for the same period in 2016. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2017, was 35.3%, compared to 36.6% for the same period in 2016. Effective rates are dependent upon components of pretax earnings and the related tax effects. The effective rate was lower for the three months ended June 30, 2017, primarily due to favorable provision adjustments and an increase in the dividends received deduction.

The Company has not established a valuation allowance against any of the net deferred tax assets.

Our actuary determined a range of reasonable reserve estimates which reflect the uncertainty inherent in the loss reserve process. This range does not represent the range of all possible outcomes. We believe that the actuarially-determined ranges represent reasonably likely changes in the loss and settlement expense estimates, however actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. The range was determined by line of business and accident year after a review of the output generated by the various actuarial methods utilized. The actuary reviewed the variance around the select loss reserve estimates for each of the actuarial methods and selected reasonable low and high estimates based on his knowledge and judgment. In making these judgments the actuary typically assumed, based on his experience, that the larger the reserve the less volatility and that property reserves would exhibit less volatility than casualty reserves. In addition, when selecting these low and high estimates, the actuary considered:

· historical industry development experience in our business line;

· historical company development experience;

· the impact of court decisions on insurance coverage issues, which can impact the ultimate cost of settling claims;

· changes in our internal claims processing policies and procedures; and

· trends and risks in claim costs, such as risk that medical cost inflation could increase.

Our actuary is required to exercise a considerable degree of judgment in the evaluation of all of these and other factors in the analysis of our loss and settlement expense reserves, and related range of anticipated losses. Because of the level of uncertainty impacting the estimation process, it is reasonably possible that different actuaries would arrive at different conclusions. The method of determining the reserve range has not changed and the reserve range generated by our actuary is consistent with the observed development of our loss reserves over the last few years.

The width of the range in reserves arises primarily because specific losses may not be known and reported for some period and the ultimate losses paid and loss adjustment expenses incurred with respect to known losses may be larger than currently estimated. The ultimate frequency or severity of these claims can be very different than the assumptions we used in our estimation of ultimate reserves for these exposures.

Specifically, the following factors could impact the frequency and severity of claims, and therefore, the ultimate amount of loss and settlement expense paid:

· the rate of increase in labor costs, medical costs, and material costs that underlie insured risks;

· development of risk associated with our expanding producer relationships and our growth in new states or states where we currently have small market share; and

· impact of changes in laws or regulations.

The estimation process for determining the liability for unpaid loss and settlement expense inherently results in adjustments each year for claims incurred (but not paid) in preceding years. Negative amounts reported for claims incurred related to prior years are a result of claims being settled for amounts less than originally estimated (favorable development). Positive amounts reported for claims incurred related to prior years are a result of claims being settled for amounts greater than originally estimated (unfavorable development). For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we experienced favorable development of $340,000 and $224,000, respectively.

Potential for variability in our reserves is evidenced by this development. As further illustration of reserve variability, we initially estimated unpaid loss and settlement expense net of reinsurance at the end of 2016 at $40,702,000. As of June 30, 2017, that reserve was re-estimated at $40,402,000, which is $300,000, or 0.7%, lower than the initial estimate.

The estimation of our reserves is based on several actuarial methods, each of which incorporates many quantitative assumptions. The judgment of the actuary plays an important role in selecting among various loss development factors and selecting the appropriate method, or combination of methods, to use for a given accident year. The ranges presented above represent the expected variability around the actuarially determined central estimate. The total range around our actuarially determined estimate varies from (1.9)% to 11.5%. As shown in the table below, since 2012 the variance in our originally estimated accident year loss reserves has ranged from (6.4%) deficient to 14.2% redundant as of June 30, 2017.

(In thousands)	Aggregate Loss and Settlement Reserve		Percentage Change in Equity
Reserve Range for Unpaid Losses and Settlement Expense
Low End	$	36,178		8.9%
Recorded		40,702		0.0%
High End		41,107		-0.8%

If the net loss and settlement expense reserves were recorded at the high end of the actuarially-determined range as of Decemeber 31, 2016, the loss and settlement expense reserves would increase by $405,000 before taxes. This increase in reserves would have the effect of decreasing net income and equity as of December 31, 2016 by $267,000. If the loss and settlement expense reserves were recorded at the low end of the actuarially-determined range, the net loss and settlement expense reserves at December 31, 2016 would be reduced by $4.5 million with corresponding increases in net income and equity of $3.0 million.

Investments

Our fixed maturity and equity securities investments are classified as available-for-sale and carried at estimated fair value as determined by management based upon quoted market prices or a recognized pricing service at the reporting date for those or similar investments. Changes in unrealized investment gains or losses on our investments, net of applicable income taxes, are reflected directly in equity as a component of comprehensive income (loss) and, accordingly, have no effect on net income (loss). Investment income is recognized when earned, and capital gains and losses are recognized when investments are sold, or other-than-temporarily impaired.

The fair value and unrealized losses for our securities that were temporarily impaired are as follows:

The unrealized losses as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were primarily related to changes in the interest rate environment. Fair values of interest rate sensitive instruments may be affected by increases and decreases in prevailing interest rates which generally translate, respectively, into decreases and increases in fair values of fixed maturity investments. The fair values of interest rate sensitive instruments also may be affected by the credit worthiness of the issuer, prepayment options, relative values of other investments, the liquidity of the instrument, and other general market conditions.

We monitor our investment portfolio and review securities that have experienced a decline in fair value below cost to evaluate whether the decline is other than temporary. When assessing whether the amortized cost basis of the security will be recovered, we compare the present value of the cash flows likely to be collected, based on an evaluation of all available information relevant to the collectability of the security, to the amortized cost basis of the security. The shortfall of the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected in relation to the amortized cost basis is referred to as the “credit loss.” If there is a credit loss, the impairment is considered to be other-than-temporary. If we identify that an other-than-temporary impairment loss has occurred, we then determine whether we intend to sell the security, or if it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security prior to recovering the amortized cost basis less any current-period credit losses. If we determine that we do not intend to sell, and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security, the amount of the impairment loss related to the credit loss will be recorded in earnings, and the remaining portion of the other-than-temporary impairment loss will be recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. If we determine that we intend to sell the security, or that it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security prior to recovering its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit losses, the full amount of the other-than-temporary impairment will be recognized in earnings.

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company incurred $57,000 of OTTI losses on an ETF included in common stock that was impaired in the three months ended June 30, 2017.During the first six months of 2016, the Company did not recognize any impairment losses.

We use quoted values and other data provided by independent pricing services in our process for determining fair values of our investments. The evaluations of such pricing services represent an exit price and a good faith opinion as to what a buyer in the marketplace would pay for a security in a current sale. This pricing service provides us with one quote per instrument. For fixed maturity securities that have quoted prices in active markets, market quotations are provided. For fixed maturity securities that do not trade on a daily basis, the independent pricing service prepares estimates of fair value using a wide array of observable inputs including relevant market information, benchmark curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings, and matrix pricing. The observable market inputs that our independent pricing service utilizes may include (listed in order of priority for use) benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, market bids/offers, and other reference data on markets, industry, and the economy. Additionally, the independent pricing service uses an option adjusted spread model to develop prepayment and interest rate scenarios. The pricing service did not use broker quotes in determining fair values of our investments.

Should the independent pricing service be unable to provide a fair value estimate, we would attempt to obtain a non-binding fair value estimate from a number of broker-dealers and review this estimate in conjunction with a fair value estimate reported by an independent business news service or other sources. In instances where only one broker-dealer provides a fair value for a fixed maturity security, we use that estimate. In instances where we are able to obtain fair value estimates from more than one broker-dealer, we would review the range of estimates and would select the most appropriate value based on the facts and circumstances. Should neither the independent pricing service nor a broker-dealer provide a fair value estimate, we would develop a fair valueestimate based on cash flow analyses and other valuation techniques that utilize certain unobservable inputs. Accordingly, we would classify such a security as a Level 3 investment.

The fair value estimates of our investments provided by the independent pricing service at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, were utilized, among other resources, in reaching a conclusion as to the fair value of our investments.

Management reviews the reasonableness of the pricing provided by the independent pricing service by employing various analytical procedures. We review all securities to identify recent downgrades, significant changes in pricing, and pricing anomalies on individual securities relative to other similar securities. This will include looking for relative consistency across securities in common sectors, durations, and credit ratings. This review will also include all fixed maturity securities rated lower than “A” by Moody’s or S&P. If, after this review, management does not believe the pricing for any security is a reasonable estimate of fair value, then it will seek to resolve the discrepancy through discussions with the pricing service. In our review we did not identify any such discrepancies for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 and for the year ended December 31, 2016, and no adjustments were made to the estimates provided by the pricing service for the years 2015 and 2014. The classification within the fair value hierarchy of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, is then confirmed based on the final conclusions from the pricing review.

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs

Certain acquisition costs consisting of direct and ceded commissions, premium taxes and certain other direct underwriting expenses that vary with and are primarily related to the production of business are deferred and amortized over the effective period of the related insurance policies as the underlying policy premiums are earned. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, deferred acquisition costs and the related unearned premium reserves were as follows:

(In thousands)	June 30, 2017		December 31, 2016
Deferred acquisition costs	$	4,303	$	4,163
Unearned premium reserves		25,800		24,778

The method followed in computing deferred acquisition costs limits the amount of deferred costs to their estimated realizable value, which gives effect to the premium to be earned, related investment income, loss and loss adjustment expenses, and certain other costs expected to be incurred as the premium is earned. Future changes in estimates, the most significant of which is expected loss and loss adjustment expenses, may require adjustments to deferred policy acquisition costs. If the estimation of net realizable value indicates that the deferred acquisition costs are not recoverable, they would be written off.

Income Taxes

We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes arise from the recognition of

temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of our assets and liabilities. A valuation

allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The effect of achange in tax rates is recognized in the period of the enactment date.

We exercise significant judgment in evaluating the amount and timing of recognition of the resulting tax liabilities and assets.These judgments require us to make projections of future taxable income. The judgments and estimates we make in determining ourdeferred tax assets, which are inherently subjective, are reviewed on a continual basis as regulatory and business factors change. Anyreduction in estimated future taxable income may require us to record an additional valuation allowance against our deferred taxassets.

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had no material unrecognized tax benefits or accrued interest and penalties.Federal tax years 2013 through 2015 are open for examination. The tax return related to the year ended December 31, 2016 has notyet been filed.

Other Assets

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 other assets totaled $1,320,000 and $2,351,000, respectively. The decreased is primarily due to deferred stock offering and conversion expenses being settled in the first quarter of 2017 which was partially offset by an increase in prepaid insurance fees.  

Outstanding Debt

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, outstanding debt balances totaled $4,991,000 and $3,787,000, respectively. We incurred interest expense for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2017, and 2016, of $110,000 and $92,000, respectively. We incurred interest expense of $58,000 and $50,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The average rate on debt was 4.0% as of June 30, 2017, compared to 5.0% as of December 31, 2016.

Surplus Notes

ICC’s plan of conversion from a mutual to a stock company was approved by ICC policyholders at a special meeting on March 17, 2017. Simultaneously, surplus notes totaling $1,650,000 were converted into 165,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The remaining $200,000 balance of surplus notes was paid off in March 2017.

Leasehold Obligations

The Company entered into a sale leaseback arrangement in 2016 that is accounted for as a capital lease. Under the agreement, BofI Federal Bank purchased electronic data processing software, vehicles, and other assets which are leased to the Company. These assets remain on the Company’s books due to provisions within the agreement that trigger capital lease accounting. To secure the lowest rate possible of 4.7%, the Company pledged additional bonds totaling $860,969 during 2016, bringing the total pledged to $1,808,523 as of June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, respectively. There was no gain or loss recognized as part of this transaction. For the six months ended June 30 2017 and 2016, lease payments totaled $251,000 and $209,000, respectively. Lease payments totaled $125,000 and $147,00 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The term of the electronic data processing lease is 48 months and the term of the titled vehicles lease is 36 months. The outstanding lease obligation at June 30, 2017 was $1,019,000 compared to $1,228,000 at Decemeber 31, 2016.

Debt Obligation

The Company entered into a debt agreement in 2017 for $3,500,000. The terms of the loan is five years bearing interest at 3.65%.  Additionally, the Company entered into two debt agreements in 2016 with Bofi Federal Bank; one agreement for $500,000 and another debt agreement for $75,000. The terms of the loans are 36 months, but the Company has the option to prepay the $500,000 loan after 12 months. The total balance of debt agreements at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $3,946,000and $526,000, respectively. The Bofi loans bear interest at 4.7%. Interest paid for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was $38,000 and $54,000, respectively. There were no borrowing and there was no interest paid on the line of credit for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Home Office Mortgage

The Company maintains a mortgage on its home office. Interest is charged at a fixed rate of 2.6% and the loan matures in 2017. The building is used as collateral to secure the loan. The loan balance at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $26,000 and $184,000, respectively. The interest paid on the loan during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, was $1,000 and $6,000, respectively.

Revolving Line of Credit

We maintain a revolving line of credit with American Bank & Trust, which permits borrowing up to an aggregate principal amount of $1.75 million. This facility was entered into during 2013 and is renewed annually with a current expiration of August 1, 2017. The line of credit is priced at 30 day LIBOR plus 2% with a floor of 3.5%. There was no interest paid on the line of credit during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and $1,000 of interest paid on the line of credit during the six months ended June 30, 2016. There are no financial covenants governing this agreement.

ESOP

In connection with the offering, the ESOP financed the purchase of 10.0% of the common stock issued in the offering for $3,500,000 with the proceeds of a loan from ICCprior to the expiration of the offering. ICCwill make annual contributions to the ESOP sufficient to repay that loan. SeeNote 8 – Employee Benefits of this Form 10-Q as well as the “Management — Benefit Plans and Employment Agreements —Employee Stock Ownership Plan” section of the Company’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Stock-based Incentive Plan

Under the stock-based incentive plan, we may issue a total of 490,000 shares of common stock.  Of this amount, an amount equal to 4% of the shares of common stock issued in the offering may be used to make restricted stock and stock-settled restricted stock unit awards and 10% of the shares of common stock issued in the offering may be used to award stock options under the stock-based incentive plan. The grant-date fair value of any common stock used for restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards will represent unearned compensation. As we accrue compensation expense to reflect the vesting of such shares, unearned compensation will be reduced accordingly. We will also compute compensation expense at the time stock options are awarded based on the fair value of such options on the date they are granted. This compensation expense will be recognized over the appropriate service period. See “Management — Benefit Plans and Employment Agreements” section of the Company’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We generate sufficient funds from our operations and maintain a high degree of liquidity in our investment portfolio to meet the demands of claim settlements and operating expenses. The primary sources of funds are premium collections, investment earnings and maturing investments. The increase in cash flows from financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2017 relates to the initial public offering and changes in debt and shares outstanding.

We maintain investment and reinsurance programs that are intended to provide sufficient funds to meet our obligations without forced sales of investments. We maintain a portion of our investment portfolio in relatively short-term and highly liquid assets to ensure the availability of funds.

Upon completion of the offering, we became subject to the proxy solicitation, periodic reporting, insider trading prohibitions and other requirements of the Exchange Act and to most of the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. We estimate that the cost of initial compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act will be approximately $300,000 and that compliance with the ongoing requirements of the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act will result in an increase of approximately $200,000 in our annual operating expenses.

Cash flows from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were as follows:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
(In thousands)	2017		2016
Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities	$	(1,414)	$	552
Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities		(23,318)		345
Net cash provided by financing activities		30,458		309
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	5,726	$	1,206

ICC Holdings, Inc’s principal source of liquidity will be dividend payments and other fees received from ICC and ICC Realty, LLC. ICC is restricted by the insurance laws of Illinois as to the amount of dividends or other distributions it may pay to us. Under Illinois law, there is a maximum amount that may be paid by ICC during any twelve-month period. ICC may pay dividends to us after notice to, but without prior approval of the Illinois Department of Insurance in an amount “not to exceed” the greater of (i) 10% of the surplus as regards policyholders of ICC as reported on its most recent annual statement filed with the Illinois Department of Insurance, or (ii) the statutory net income of ICC for the period covered by such annual statement. Dividends in excess of this amount are considered “extraordinary” and are subject to the approval of the Illinois Department of Insurance.

The amount available for payment of dividends from ICC in 2017 without the prior approval of the Illinois Department of Insurance is approximately $3.4 million based upon the insurance company’s 2016 annual statement. Prior to its payment of any dividend, ICC is required to provide notice of the dividend to the Illinois Department of Insurance. This notice must be provided to the Illinois Department of Insurance 30 days prior to the payment of an extraordinary dividend and 10 days prior to the payment of an ordinary dividend. The Illinois Department of Insurance has the power to limit or prohibit dividend payments if ICC is in violation of any law or regulation. These restrictions or any subsequently imposed restrictions may affect our future liquidity.

The following table summarizes, as of June 30, 2017  our future payments under contractual obligations and estimated claims and claims related payments for continuing operations.

	Payments due by period
(In thousands)	Total		Less than 1 year		1-3 years		3-5 years		More than 5 years

The timing of the amounts of the gross loss and loss adjustment expense payments is an estimate based on historical experience and the expectations of future payment patterns. However, the timing of these payments may vary from the amounts stated above.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital reserves.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Information about Market Risk

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that we will incur losses due to adverse changes in the fair value of financial instruments. We have exposure to three principal types of market risk through our investment activities: interest rate risk, credit risk and equity risk. Our primary market risk exposure is to changes in interest rates. We have not entered, and do not plan to enter, into any derivative financial instruments for hedging, trading or speculative purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that we will incur economic losses due to adverse changes in interest rates. Our exposure to interest rate changes primarily results from our significant holdings of fixed rate investments. Fluctuations in interest rates have a direct impact on the fair value of these securities.

The average maturity of the debt securities in our investment portfolio at June 30, 2017, was 7.4 years. Our debt securities investments include U.S. government bonds, securities issued by government agencies, obligations of state and local governments and governmental authorities, and corporate bonds, most of which are exposed to changes in prevailing interest rates and which may experience moderate fluctuations in fair value resulting from changes in interest rates. We carry these investments as available for sale. This allows us to manage our exposure to risks associated with interest rate fluctuations through active review of our investment portfolio by our management and board of directors and consultation with our third party investment manager.

Fluctuations in near-term interest rates could have an impact on our results of operations and cash flows. Certain of these securities may have call features. In a declining interest rate environment these securities may be called by their issuer and replaced with securities bearing lower interest rates. If we are required to sell these securities in a rising interest rate environment we may recognize losses.

As a general matter, we attempt to match the durations of our assets with the durations of our liabilities. Our investment objectives include maintaining adequate liquidity to meet our operational needs, optimizing our after-tax investment income, and our after-tax total return, all of which are subject to our tolerance for risk.

The table below shows the interest rate sensitivity of our fixed maturity investments measured in terms of fair value (which is equal to the carrying value for all of our investment securities that are subject to interest rate changes):

	June 30, 2017
Hypothetical Change in Interest Rates (In thousands)	Estimated Change in Fair Value		Fair Value
200 basis point increase	$	(7,437)	$	75,569
100 basis point increase		(3,818)		79,188
No change		—		83,006
100 basis point decrease		3,793		86,799
200 basis point decrease		6,790		89,796

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the potential economic loss principally arising from adverse changes in the financial condition of a specific debt issuer. We address this risk by investing primarily in fixed maturity securities that are rated investment grade and at least 70% of our investment securities must be rated at least “A” by Moody’s or an equivalent rating quality. We also independently, and through our independent third party investment manager, monitor the financial condition of all of the issuers of fixed

~  36  ~

maturity securities in the portfolio. To limit our exposure to risk, we employ diversification rules that limit the credit exposure to any single issuer or asset class.

Equity Risk

Equity price risk is the risk that we will incur economic losses due to adverse changes in equity prices.

Impact of Inflation

Inflation increases our customers’ needs for property and casualty insurance coverage due to the increase in the value of the property covered and any potential liability exposure. Inflation also increases claims incurred by property and casualty insurers as property repairs, replacements and medical expenses increase. These cost increases reduce profit margins to the extent that rate increases are not implemented on an adequate and timely basis. We establish property and casualty insurance premiums levels before the amount of loss and loss expenses, or the extent to which inflation may impact these expenses, are known. Therefore, we attempt to anticipate the potential impact of inflation when establishing rates. Because inflation has remained relatively low in recent years, financial results have not been significantly affected by it.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to ensure that required information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required timeframe as specified in the SEC’s rules and forms of the SEC. Our disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures at June 30, 2017. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, at the reasonable assurance level, as of June 30, 2017.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

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

Use of Proceeds from Initial Public Offering

Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-214081) for the initial public offering of our common stock was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 14, 2017. The Registration Statement on Form S-1 authorized an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of our common stock.  On March 24, 2017, we closed our initial public offering whereby 3,500,000 shares of our common stock were sold, including 350,000 shares to the Company’s ESOP, at a public offering price of $10.00 per share.  Upon completion of the sale of the shares of our common stock, referenced in the preceding sentence, the initial public offering terminated.

The managing underwriters of the initial public offering were Griffin Financial Group. The Company paid to the underwriters of the initial public offering underwriting discounts and commissions totaling approximately $1.0 million. In addition, we incurred expenses of approximately $1.4 million which, when added to the underwriting discounts and commissions, amounted to total expenses of approximately $2.4million. Thus, the net offering proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses were approximately $29.1 million to the Company.

There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our IPO as described in our final prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 13, 2017 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4).

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A.     DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

ICC Holdings, Inc. is a Pennsylvania corporation that was organized in 2016. As used in this Form 10-Q, references to “the Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the consolidated group for the period after the completion of the stock conversion and refer to ICC and its subsidiaries for the period prior to the stock conversion. On a stand-alone basis ICC Holdings, Inc is referred to as the “Parent Company.” The consolidated group consists of the holding company, ICC Holdings, Inc., an operating insurance company, Illinois Casualty Company (ICC), and ICC’s three wholly-owned subsidiaries, Beverage Insurance Agency, Inc., an inactive insurance agency, Estrella Innovative Solutions, Inc., an outsourcing company, and ICC Realty, LLC, a real estate services and holding company. ICC is an Illinois domiciled company.

ICC Holdings, Inc. was formed so that it could acquire all of the capital stock of ICC in a mutual-to-stock conversion. The plan of conversion was approved by ICC policyholders at a special meeting on March 17, 2017. Simultaneously, surplus notes totaling $1.65 million were converted into 165,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.The Company’s offering closed on March 24, 2017, and our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) purchased 350,000 of the shares in the offering. In order to complete the purchase of common shares, the ESOP borrowed money from ICC. ICC Holdings, Inc. secured a loan with American Bank & Trust in March 2017 and used the proceeds to repay ICC for the money borrowed by the ESOP. On March 28, 2017, the Company’s stocks began trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the “ICCH” ticker. The Company paid $1.0 million of underwriting fees to Griffin Financial Group, LLC. Proceeds received from the offering net of offering costs and underwriting fees was $29.1 million.

Prior to the conversion on March 24, 2017, ICC Holdings, Inc did not engage in any operations. After the conversion, ICC Holdings, Inc’s primary assets are the outstanding capital stock of ICC and a portion of the net proceeds from the stock offering completed in connection with the mutual-to-stock conversion. On the effective date of the conversion, ICC became a wholly owned subsidiary of ICC Holdings, Inc. The mutual to stock conversion was accounted for as a change in corporate form with the historic basis of ICC’s assets, liabilities, and equity unchanged as a result. The condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, include ICC Holdings and subsidiaries. The financial statements as of December 31, 2016, as of June 30, 2016, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, represent the financial position and results of operations of ICC and its subsidiaries only, as the conversion to stock form was completed on March 24, 2017.

We are a specialty insurance carrier primarily underwriting commercial multi-peril, liquor liability, workers’ compensation, and umbrella liability coverages for the food and beverage industry through our subsidiary insurance company, ICC. ICC writes business in Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Wisconsin, and Ohio and markets through independent agents. Approximately 36.5% and 39.3% of the premium is written in Illinois for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, approximately 36.2% and 39.3% of the premium is written in Illinois. ICC has three wholly owned subsidiaries, Beverage Insurance Agency, Estrella Innovative Solutions, Inc., and ICC Realty, LLC.; however the Company operates as a single segment.

B.     PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial reporting and with the instructions to Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  As such, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2016, was derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of ICC as of that date. Management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, and all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position at June 30, 2017, and the results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries for all periods presented have been made. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for a full year.

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period.  These amounts are inherently subject to change and actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

C.     SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company reported significant accounting policies in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. The following are new or revised disclosures.

EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

The Company recognizes compensation expense related to its employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) ratably during each year for the shares committed to be allocated to participants that year, determined with reference to the fair market value of our stock at the time the commitment to allocate the shares is accrued and recognized. For purposes of calculating earnings per share, the Company includes the weighted average ESOP shares committed to be released for the period. The ESOP covers all employees.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) are calculated by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The denominator for basic and diluted EPS includes ESOP shares committed to be released.  The unaudited pro forma earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 are provided to be used as a basis for comparison of current period earnings. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding are computed as if the resulting shares from the initial public offering, which was completed in March 2017, were outstanding for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016.

D.     PROSPECTIVE ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

For information regarding accounting standards that the Company has not yet adopted, see the “Prospective Accounting Standards” in Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Company’s 2016 Form 10-K. The Company maintains its status as an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). We have taken advantage of the extended transition period provided by Section 107 of the JOBS Act. We decided to comply with the effective dates for financial accounting standards applicable to emerging growth companies at a later date in compliance with the requirements in Sections 107(b)(2) and (3) of the JOBS Act. Such decision is irrevocable.

E.     PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Annually, the Company reviews the major asset classes of property and equipment held for impairment. For the periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized no impairments.  Property and equipment are summarized as follows:

	As of
	June 30,		December 31,

F.     COMPREHENSIVE EARNINGS

Comprehensive earnings include net earnings plus unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investment securities, net of tax. In reporting the components of comprehensive earnings on a net basis in the statement of earnings, the Company used a 34 percent tax rate.

The following table illustrates the components of other comprehensive earnings for each period presented in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

2.     INVESTMENTS

The Company’s investments include fixed income debt securities and common and preferred stock equity securities. All of the Company’s investments are presented as available-for-sale (AFS), which are carried at fair value. When available, quoted market prices are obtained to determine fair value for the Company’s investments. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using a secondary pricing source or using quoted market prices of similar securities. The Company has no investment securities for which fair value is determined using Level 3 inputs as defined in Note 3 – Fair Value Disclosures.  Realized gains and losses on disposition of investments are based on specific identification of the investments sold on the settlement date, which does not differ significantly from trade date accounting.

The following is a summary of the proceeds from sales, maturities, and calls of available-for-sale securities and the related gross realized gains and losses for the six-months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

	For the Six-Months Ended Ended June 30,

As of June 30, 2017, the Company held 6 common equity and preferred stock securities in an unrealized loss position. Of these 6 securities, none have been in an unrealized loss position for 12 consecutive months or longer. As of December 31, 2016, the Company held 21 equity securities that were in unrealized loss positions. Of these 21 securities, two were in an unrealized loss position for 12 consecutive months or longer and represented $33,929 in unrealized losses.

The fixed income portfolio contained 49 securities in an unrealized loss position as of June 30, 2017. Of these 49 securities, three have been in an unrealized loss position for 12 consecutive months or longer and represent $10,125 in unrealized losses. All fixed income securities in the investment portfolio continue to pay the expected coupon payments under the contractual terms of the securities. Credit-related impairments on fixed income securities that we do not plan to sell, and for which we are not more likely than not to be required to sell, are recognized in net earnings. Any non-credit related impairment is recognized in comprehensive earnings. Based on management’s analysis, the fixed income portfolio is of a high creditquality and it is believed it will recover the amortized cost basis of the fixed income securities. Management monitors the credit quality of the fixed income investments to assess if it is probable that the Company will receive its contractual or estimated cash flows in the form of principal and interest.

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recognized in net earnings $57,316 of other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) losses on an ETF included in common stock that was impaired during the second quarter of 2017. During the first six months of 2016, the Company did not recognize any impairment losses. For all fixed income securities at a  loss at June 30, 2017, management believes it is probable the Company will receive all contractual payments in the form of principal and interest. In addition, the Company is not required to, nor does it intend to sell these investments prior to recovering the entire amortized cost basis of each security, which may be maturity. Management does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2017. Based on managent’s analysis, it was concluded that the fixed maturity securities in an unrealized loss position were not other-than-temporarily impared at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Disclosures

3.     FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

Fair value is defined as the price in the principal market that would be received for an asset to facilitate an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value of certain financial instruments is determined based on their underlying characteristics and relevant transactions in the marketplace. GAAP guidance requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The guidance also describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value.

The following are the levels of the fair value hierarchy and a brief description of the type of valuation inputs that are used to establish each level:

· Level 1 is applied to valuations based on readily available, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.

· Level 2 is applied to valuations based upon quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in inactive markets; or valuations based on models where the significant inputs are observable (e.g. interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, default rates, loss severities) or can be corroborated by observable market data.

· Level 3 is applied to valuations that are derived from techniques in which one or more of the significant inputs are unobservable. Financial assets are classified based upon the lowest level of significant input that is used to determine fair value.

As a part of the process to determine fair value, management utilizes widely recognized, third-party pricing sources to determine fair values. Management has obtained an understanding of the third-party pricing sources’ valuation methodologies and inputs. The following is a description of the valuation techniques used for financial assets that are measured at fair value, including the general classification of such assets pursuant to the fair value hierarchy.

Corporate, Agencies, and Municipal Bonds—The pricing vendor employs a multi-dimensional model which uses standard inputs including (listed in order of priority for use) benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, market bids/offers and other reference data. The pricing vendor also monitors market indicators, as well as industry and economic events. All bonds valued using these techniques are classified as Level 2. All Corporate, Agencies, and Municipal securities are deemed Level 2.

Mortgage-backed Securities (MBS)/Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMO) and Asset-backed Securities (ABS)—The pricing vendor evaluation methodology includes principally interest rate movements and new issue data. Evaluation of the tranches (non-volatile, volatile, or credit sensitivity) is based on the pricing vendors’ interpretation of accepted modeling and pricing conventions. This information is then used to determine the cash flows for each tranche, benchmark yields, pre-payment assumptions and to incorporate collateral performance. To evaluate CMO volatility, an option adjusted spread model is used in combination with models that simulate interest rate paths to determine market price information. This process allows the pricing vendor to obtain evaluations of a broad universe of securities in a way that reflects changes in yield curve, index rates, implied volatility, mortgage rates, and recent trade activity. MBS/CMO and ABS with corroborated and observable inputs are classified as Level 2. All MBS/CMO and ABS holdings are deemed Level 2.

U.S. Treasury Bonds, Common Stocks and Exchange Traded Funds—U.S. treasury bonds and exchange traded equities have readily observable price levels and are classified as Level 1 (fair value based on quoted market prices). All common stock holdings are deemed Level 1.

Preferred Stock—Preferred stocks do not have readily observable prices, but do have quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active; and inputs other than quoted prices and are classified as Level 2. All preferred stock holdings are deemed Level 2.

Due to the relatively short-term nature of cash, cash equivalents, and the mortgage on the home office, their carrying amounts are reasonable estimates of fair value. Reported in Note 4–Debt, the surplus notes, capital lease obligations, and other debt obligations are carried at face value and given that there is no readily available market for these to trade in, management believes that face value accurately reflects fair value. Cash and cash equivalents are classified as Level 1 of the hierarchy. The mortgage on the home office and the surplus notes are carried at Level 2 of the hierarchy.

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2017, are as summarized below:

Reinsurance

5.     REINSURANCE

In the ordinary course of business, the Company assumes and cedes premiums and selected insured risks with other insurance companies, known as reinsurance. A large portion of the reinsurance is put into effect under contracts known as treaties and, in some instances, by negotiation on each individual risk (known as facultative reinsurance). In addition, there are several types of treaties including quota share, excess of loss and catastrophe reinsurance contracts that protect against losses over stipulated amounts arising from any one occurrence or event. The arrangements allow the Company to pursue greater diversification of business and serve to limit the maximum net loss to a single event, such as a catastrophe. Through the quantification of exposed policy limits in each region and the extensive use of computer-assisted modeling techniques, management monitors the concentration of risks exposed to catastrophic events.

Through the purchase of reinsurance, the Company also generally limits its net loss on any individual risk to a maximum of $500,000, although certain treaties contain an annual aggregate deductible before reinsurance applies.

Premiums, written and earned, along with losses and settlement expenses incurred for the periods presented is summarized as follows:

The Company’s effective tax rate for the six month period ended June 30, 2017, was 35.4%, compared to 38.1% for the same period in 2016. Effective rates are dependent upon components of pretax earnings and the related tax effects.

Income tax expense for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, differed from the amounts computed by applying the U.S. federal tax rate of 34% to pretax income from continuing operations as demonstrated in the following tables:

Increase (reduction) in taxes resulting from:

Nondeductible expenses		17,341		121,654
Prior year true-ups and other		78,828		(3,916)
Total	$	336,421	$	548,350

The Company has recorded its deferred tax assets and liabilities using the statutory federal tax rate of 34%. Management believes it is more likely than not that all deferred tax assets will be recovered as the result of future operations, which will generate sufficient taxable income to realize the deferred tax asset. In addition, it is believed that when these deferred items reverse in future years, taxable income will be taxed at an effective rate of 34%.  

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company does not have any capital or operating loss carryforwards. Periods still subject to Internal Revenue Service (IRS) audit include 2013 through current year. There are currently no open tax exams.

ESOP

In connection with our conversion and public offering, we establish an ESOP. The ESOP borrowed from the Company to purchase 350,000 shares in the offering. The issuance of the shares to the ESOP resulted in a contra account established in the shareholder’s equity section of the balance sheet for the unallocated shares at an amount equal to their $10.00 per share purchase price.

The Company may make discretionary contributions to the ESOP and pay dividends on unallocated shares to the ESOP, the ESOP uses funds it receiveds to repay the loan. When loan payments are made, ESOP shares are allocated to participants based on relative compensation and expense is recorded. Nocontributions to the ESOP were made during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

A compensation expense charge is booked monthly during each year for the shares committed to be allocated to particpants that year, determined with reference to the fair market value of our stock at the time the commitment to allocate the shares is accrued and recognized. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized compensation expense of $141,328 related to 8,680 shares of our common stock that were committed to be released to partipants’ accounts at December 31, 2017. Of the 8,680 shares committed to be released, 2,389 shares were commited on June 30, 2017 and had no impact on the weighted average common shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Description of Business

A.     DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

ICC Holdings, Inc. is a Pennsylvania corporation that was organized in 2016. As used in this Form 10-Q, references to “the Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the consolidated group for the period after the completion of the stock conversion and refer to ICC and its subsidiaries for the period prior to the stock conversion. On a stand-alone basis ICC Holdings, Inc is referred to as the “Parent Company.” The consolidated group consists of the holding company, ICC Holdings, Inc., an operating insurance company, Illinois Casualty Company (ICC), and ICC’s three wholly-owned subsidiaries, Beverage Insurance Agency, Inc., an inactive insurance agency, Estrella Innovative Solutions, Inc., an outsourcing company, and ICC Realty, LLC, a real estate services and holding company. ICC is an Illinois domiciled company.

ICC Holdings, Inc. was formed so that it could acquire all of the capital stock of ICC in a mutual-to-stock conversion. The plan of conversion was approved by ICC policyholders at a special meeting on March 17, 2017. Simultaneously, surplus notes totaling $1.65 million were converted into 165,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.The Company’s offering closed on March 24, 2017, and our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) purchased 350,000 of the shares in the offering. In order to complete the purchase of common shares, the ESOP borrowed money from ICC. ICC Holdings, Inc. secured a loan with American Bank & Trust in March 2017 and used the proceeds to repay ICC for the money borrowed by the ESOP. On March 28, 2017, the Company’s stocks began trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the “ICCH” ticker. The Company paid $1.0 million of underwriting fees to Griffin Financial Group, LLC. Proceeds received from the offering net of offering costs and underwriting fees was $29.1 million.

Prior to the conversion on March 24, 2017, ICC Holdings, Inc did not engage in any operations. After the conversion, ICC Holdings, Inc’s primary assets are the outstanding capital stock of ICC and a portion of the net proceeds from the stock offering completed in connection with the mutual-to-stock conversion. On the effective date of the conversion, ICC became a wholly owned subsidiary of ICC Holdings, Inc. The mutual to stock conversion was accounted for as a change in corporate form with the historic basis of ICC’s assets, liabilities, and equity unchanged as a result. The condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, include ICC Holdings and subsidiaries. The financial statements as of December 31, 2016, as of June 30, 2016, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, represent the financial position and results of operations of ICC and its subsidiaries only, as the conversion to stock form was completed on March 24, 2017.

We are a specialty insurance carrier primarily underwriting commercial multi-peril, liquor liability, workers’ compensation, and umbrella liability coverages for the food and beverage industry through our subsidiary insurance company, ICC. ICC writes business in Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Wisconsin, and Ohio and markets through independent agents. Approximately 36.5% and 39.3% of the premium is written in Illinois for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, approximately 36.2% and 39.3% of the premium is written in Illinois. ICC has three wholly owned subsidiaries, Beverage Insurance Agency, Estrella Innovative Solutions, Inc., and ICC Realty, LLC.; however the Company operates as a single segment.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

B.     PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial reporting and with the instructions to Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  As such, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2016, was derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of ICC as of that date. Management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, and all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position at June 30, 2017, and the results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries for all periods presented have been made. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for a full year.

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period.  These amounts are inherently subject to change and actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

The Company recognizes compensation expense related to its employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) ratably during each year for the shares committed to be allocated to participants that year, determined with reference to the fair market value of our stock at the time the commitment to allocate the shares is accrued and recognized. For purposes of calculating earnings per share, the Company includes the weighted average ESOP shares committed to be released for the period. The ESOP covers all employees.

Earnings Per Share

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) are calculated by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The denominator for basic and diluted EPS includes ESOP shares committed to be released.  The unaudited pro forma earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 are provided to be used as a basis for comparison of current period earnings. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding are computed as if the resulting shares from the initial public offering, which was completed in March 2017, were outstanding for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016.

Prospective Accounting Standards

D.     PROSPECTIVE ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

For information regarding accounting standards that the Company has not yet adopted, see the “Prospective Accounting Standards” in Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Company’s 2016 Form 10-K. The Company maintains its status as an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). We have taken advantage of the extended transition period provided by Section 107 of the JOBS Act. We decided to comply with the effective dates for financial accounting standards applicable to emerging growth companies at a later date in compliance with the requirements in Sections 107(b)(2) and (3) of the JOBS Act. Such decision is irrevocable.
