PART III — NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

Midwest Holding Inc. (the “Registrant”) and its auditor are in the process of completing their review of certain actuarial and financial information that was provided to the Registrant by a third-party vendor on or about March 28, 2012. The Registrant and its auditor were unable to complete their review of this information prior to the March 30, 2012 filing deadline for the Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K without unreasonable effort or expense. As a result, the auditor requires additional time to complete its review of the Registrant’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, and the Registrant requires additional time to incorporate those reviewed financial statements into the Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Registrant anticipates that it will file the Annual Report on Form 10-K no later than the fifteenth calendar day following the March 30, 2012 filing deadline.

If the answer is no, identify report(s).

			x Yes o No

(3)	Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?

			x Yes o No

	If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
