Supplemental Disclosures

(Unaudited)

On April 28, 2015, the Company acquired a block of life insurance policies and annuity contracts according to the terms of an assumption reinsurance agreement. The Company recorded an asset of $550,000 associated with this reinsurance assumption during second quarter 2015 which was equivalent to the estimated gain on the reinsurance assumption transaction. During third quarter 2015, the Company will complete the evaluation of assets and liabilities associated with the reinsurance assumption. Once this analysis is complete, any adjustments will be recorded as a gain (loss) on reinsurance assumption.

In conjunction with this 2015 reinsurance assumption transaction, the non-cash impact on operating activities is summarized as follows:

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

First Trinity Financial Corporation (the “Company” or "FTFC") is the parent holding company of Trinity Life Insurance Company (“TLIC”), Family Benefit Life Insurance Company (“FBLIC”) and First Trinity Capital Corporation (“FTCC”). The Company was incorporated in Oklahoma on April 19, 2004, for the primary purpose of organizing a life insurance subsidiary.

The Company owns 100% of TLIC. TLIC owns 100% of FBLIC. TLIC and FBLIC are primarily engaged in the business of marketing, underwriting and distributing a broad range of individual life insurance and annuity products to individuals. TLIC’s and FBLIC’s current product portfolio consists of a modified premium whole life insurance policy with a flexible premium deferred annuity rider, whole life, term, final expense, accidental death and dismemberment and annuity products. The term products are both renewable and convertible and issued for 10, 15, 20 and 30 years. They can be issued with premiums fully guaranteed for the entire term period or with a limited premium guarantee. The final expense is issued as either a simplified issue or as a graded benefit, determined by underwriting. The TLIC and FBLIC products are sold through independent agents. TLIC is licensed in the states of Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma and Texas. FBLIC is licensed in the states of Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia.

The Company owns 100% of FTCC that was incorporated in 2006, and began operations in January 2007. FTCC provided financing for casualty insurance premiums for individuals and companies and was licensed to conduct premium financing business in the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Oklahoma. FTCC currently has no operations other than minor premium refunds, collections of past due accounts and accounts involved in litigation.

Company Capitalization

The Company raised $1,450,000 from two private placement stock offerings during 2004 and $25,669,480 from two public stock offerings and one private placement stock offering from June 22, 2005 through February 23, 2007; June 29, 2010 through April 30, 2012; and August 15, 2012 through March 8, 2013. The Company issued 7,347,488 shares of its common stock and incurred $3,624,518 of offering costs during these private placements and public stock offerings.

The Company also issued 702,685 shares of its common stock in connection with two stock dividends paid to shareholders in 2011 and 2012 that resulted in accumulated earnings being charged $5,270,138 with an offsetting credit of $5,270,138 to common stock and additional paid-in capital. As a result, the Company's accumulated earnings as of June 30, 2015, as shown in the consolidated statement of financial position, was negatively impacted in 2011 ($2,428,328) and 2012 ($2,841,810) and all periods thereafter by the $5,270,138 charge of the stock dividends.

The Company has also purchased 247,580 shares of treasury stock at a cost of $893,947 from former members of the Board of Directors including the former Chairman of the Board of Directors, a former agent, the former spouse of the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President and a charitable organization where a former member of the Board of Directors had donated shares of the Company’s common stock.

Acquisition of Other Companies

On December 23, 2008, FTFC acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of First Life America Corporation (“FLAC”) from an unaffiliated company. The acquisition of FLAC was accounted for as a purchase. The aggregate purchase price for FLAC was approximately $2,695,000 (including direct cost associated with the acquisition of approximately $195,000). The acquisition of FLAC was financed with the working capital of FTFC. On December 31, 2008, FTFC made FLAC a 15 year loan in the form of a surplus note in the amount of $250,000 with an interest rate of 6% payable monthly, that was approved by the Oklahoma Insurance Department (“OID”). This surplus note is eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods have been included. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ended December 31, 2015 or for any other interim period or for any other future year. Certain financial information which is normally included in notes to consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, but which is not required for interim reporting purposes, has been condensed or omitted. The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior year and prior quarter financial statements to conform to current year and current quarter classifications. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income or shareholders' equity.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Although these estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, they may ultimately differ from actual results.

Common Stock

Common stock is fully paid, non-assessable and has a par value of $.01 per share.

Treasury Stock

Treasury stock, representing shares of the Company’s common stock that have been reacquired after having been issued and fully paid, is recorded at the reacquisition cost and the shares are no longer outstanding.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued revised guidance to reduce diversity in practice for reporting discontinued operations. Under the previous guidance, any component of an entity that was a reportable segment, an operating segment, a reporting unit, a subsidiary or an asset group was eligible for discontinued operations presentation.

The revised guidance only allows disposals of components of an entity that represent a strategic shift (e.g., disposal of a major geographical area, a major line of business, a major equity method investment or other major parts of an entity) and that have a major effect on a reporting entity's operations and financial results to be reported as discontinued operations. The revised guidance also requires expanded disclosure in the financial statements for discontinued operations as well as for disposals of significant components of an entity that do not qualify for discontinued operations presentation.

The updated guidance is effective for the quarter ending March 31, 2015. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In May 2014, the FASB issued updated guidance to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue. While insurance contracts are not within the scope of this updated guidance, the Company's fee income related to providing services will be subject to this updated guidance. The updated guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue as performance obligations are met, in order to reflect the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity is entitled to receive for those goods or services.

The following steps are applied in the updated guidance: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognize revenue when, or as, the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

The updated guidance is effective for the quarter ending March 31, 2017. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of the updated guidance on revenue recognition by one year to the quarter ending March 31, 2018. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s result of operations, financial position or liquidity.

Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

In June 2014, the FASB issued updated guidance to resolve diversity in practice concerning employee share-based payments that contain performance targets that could be achieved after the requisite service period. Many reporting entities account for performance targets that could be achieved after the requisite service period as performance conditions that affect the vesting of the award and, therefore, do not reflect the performance targets in the estimate of the grant-date fair value of the award. Other reporting entities treat those performance targets as nonvesting conditions that affect the grant-date fair value of the award.

The updated guidance requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that can be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target that affects vesting should not be reflected in estimating that fair value of the award at the grant date. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the periods for which service has been rendered. If the performance target becomes probable of being achieved before the end of the service period, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost for which requisite service has not yet been rendered is recognized prospectively over the remaining service period. The total amount of compensation cost recognized during and after the service period should reflect the number of awards that are expected to vest and should be adjusted to reflect those awards that ultimately vest.

The updated guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

In August 2014, the FASB issued guidance to address the diversity in practice in determining when there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and when an entity must disclose certain relevant conditions and events. The new guidance requires an entity to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The new guidance allows the entity to consider the mitigating effects of management's plans that will alleviate the substantial doubt and requires certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management's plans.

If conditions or events raise substantial doubt that is not alleviated, an entity should disclose that there is substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued), along with the principal conditions or events that raise substantial doubt, management's evaluation of the significance of those conditions or events in relation to the entity's ability to meet its obligations and management's plans that are intended to mitigate those conditions.

The guidance is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim and annual periods thereafter.

Determining Whether the Host Contract in a Hybrid Financial Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share Is More Akin to Debt or to Equity

In November 2014, the FASB issued updated guidance to clarify when the separation of certain embedded derivative features in a hybrid financial instrument that is issued in the form of a share is required. That is, an entity will continue to evaluate whether the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative feature are clearly and closely related to those of the host contract. Specifically, the amendments clarify that an entity should consider all relevant terms and features, including the embedded derivative feature being evaluated for bifurcation, in evaluating the nature of the host contract. Furthermore, the amendments clarify that no single term or feature would necessarily determine the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract. Rather, the nature of the host contract depends upon the economic characteristics and risks of the entire hybrid financial instrument.

The updated guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors

In January 2014, the FASB issued updated guidance for troubled debt restructurings clarifying when an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and when a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan. The new guidance is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. This guidance can be elected for prospective adoption or by using a retrospective transition method. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis

In February 2015, the FASB issued updated guidance that makes targeted amendments to the current consolidation accounting guidance. The update is in response to accounting complexity concerns, particularly from the asset management industry. The guidance simplifies consolidation accounting by reducing the number of approaches to consolidation, provides a scope exception to registered money market funds and similar unregistered money market funds and ends the indefinite deferral granted to investment companies from applying the variable interest entity guidance.

The updated guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs

In April 2015, the FASB issued updated guidance to clarify the required presentation of debt issuance costs. The amended guidance requires that debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of the recognized debt liability, consistent with the treatment of debt discounts. Amortization of debt issuance costs is to be reported as interest expense. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the updated guidance.

The updated guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance will not have any effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

As of June 30, 2015, the Company held 167 available-for-sale fixed maturity securities with an unrealized loss of $1,856,270, fair value of $43,252,734 and amortized cost of $45,109,004. These unrealized losses were primarily due to market interest rate movements in the bond market as of June 30, 2015. The ratio of the fair value to the amortized cost of these 167 securities is 96%.

The Company has recorded one other-than-temporary impairment during 2015. During the second quarter of 2015, the Company impaired its bonds in a mining corporation with a total par value of $600,000 as a result of continuing unrealized losses. This impairment was considered fully credit-related, resulting in a charge to the statement of operations before tax of $304,256 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. This charge represents the credit-related portion of the difference between the amortized cost basis of the security and its fair value. The Company has experienced no additional other-than-temporary impairments during 2015.

As of December 31, 2014, the Company held 81 available-for-sale fixed maturity securities with an unrealized loss of $1,149,612, fair value of $19,933,429 and amortized cost of $21,083,041. These unrealized losses were primarily due to market interest rate movements in the bond market as of December 31, 2014. The ratio of the fair value to the amortized cost of these 81 securities is 95%.

As of June 30, 2015, the Company has four available-for-sale equity securities with an unrealized loss of $8,901, fair value of $221,118 and cost of $230,019. The ratio of fair value to cost of these securities is 96%.

As of December 31, 2014, the Company held one available-for-sale equity security with an unrealized loss of $1,700, fair value of $48,300 and cost of $50,000. The ratio of fair value to cost of this security is 97%.

Fixed maturity securities were 93% and 95% investment grade as rated by Standard & Poor’s as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

The Company’s decision to record an impairment loss is primarily based on whether the security’s fair value is likely to remain significantly below its book value based on all of the factors considered. Factors that are considered include the length of time the security’s fair value has been below its carrying amount, the severity of the decline in value, the credit worthiness of the issuer, and the coupon and/or dividend payment history of the issuer. The Company also assesses whether it intends to sell or whether it is more likely than not that it may be required to sell the security prior to its recovery in value.

For any fixed maturity securities that are other-than-temporarily impaired, the Company determines the portion of the other-than-temporary impairment that is credit-related and the portion that is related to other factors. The credit-related portion is the difference between the expected future cash flows and the amortized cost basis of the fixed maturity security, and that difference is charged to earnings. The non-credit-related portion representing the remaining difference to fair value is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). Only in the case of a credit-related impairment where management has the intent to sell the security, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis, is a fixed maturity security adjusted to fair value and the resulting losses recognized in realized gains (losses) in the consolidated statements of operations. Any other-than-temporary impairments on equity securities are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations in the periods incurred as the difference between fair value and cost.

Based on management’s review, the Company experienced one other-than-temporary impairment during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. There were no impairments during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 nor during the year ended December 31, 2014. Management believes that the Company will fully recover its cost basis in the securities held as of June 30, 2015, and management does not have the intent to sell nor is it more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell such securities until they recover or mature. The remaining temporary impairments shown herein are primarily the result of the current interest rate environment rather than credit factors that would imply other-than-temporary impairment.

This building and land were also held for sale and, as discussed below, were sold on March 11, 2015.

In addition, simultaneously with these sales, the Company settled its two notes payable, collateralized by the held for sale buildings and land (including assignment of the tenant leases), with an aggregate payment to Grand Bank (the creditor) of $4,076,473. In connection with the repayments of the two notes payable, the Company expensed the loan origination fees remaining as of March 11, 2015 of $72,744.

3. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) on the measurement date. The Company also considers the impact on fair value of a significant decrease in volume and level of activity for an asset or liability when compared with normal activity.

3. Fair Value Measurements (continued)

The Company holds fixed maturity and equity securities that are measured and reported at fair market value on the statement of financial position. The Company determines the fair market values of its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, as follows:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company’s Level 1 assets include equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. The Company’s Level 2 assets and liabilities include fixed maturity securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments or assets and liabilities whose value is determined using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. This category generally includes U.S. Government and agency mortgage-backed debt securities and corporate debt securities.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Company’s Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. This category generally includes certain private equity investments where independent pricing information was not able to be obtained for a significant portion of the underlying assets.

The Company has categorized its financial instruments, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique, into the three-level fair value hierarchy. If the inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

A review of fair value hierarchy classifications is conducted on a quarterly basis. Changes in the valuation inputs, or their ability to be observed, may result in a reclassification for certain financial assets or liabilities. Reclassifications impacting Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are reported as transfers in and out of the Level 3 category as of the beginning of the period in which the reclassifications occur.

As of both June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, Level 3 financial instruments consisted of two private placement common stocks that have no active trading. These private placement stocks represent investments in small insurance holding companies. The fair value for these securities was determined through the use of unobservable assumptions about market participants. The Company has assumed a willing market participant would purchase the securities for the same price as the Company paid until such time as the development stage company commences operations.

3. Fair Value Measurements (continued)

Fair values for Level 1 and Level 2 assets for the Company’s fixed maturity and equity securities available-for-sale are primarily based on prices supplied by a third party investment service. The third party investment service provides quoted prices in the market which use observable inputs in developing such rates.

The Company analyzes market valuations received to verify reasonableness and to understand the key assumptions used and the sources. Since the fixed maturity securities owned by the Company do not trade on a daily basis, the third party investment service prepares estimates of fair value measurements using relevant market data, benchmark curves, sector groupings and matrix pricing. As the fair value estimates of the Company’s fixed maturity securities are based on observable market information rather than market quotes, the estimates of fair value on these fixed maturity securities are included in Level 2 of the hierarchy. The Company’s Level 2 investments include obligations of U.S. government, U.S. government agencies, states and political subdivisions, mortgage-backed securities, corporate bonds and foreign bonds.

The Company’s equity securities are included in Level 1 and Level 2 and the private placement common stocks are included in Level 3. Level 1 for those equity securities classified as such is appropriate since they trade on a daily basis, are based on quoted market prices in active markets and are based upon unadjusted prices. Level 2 for those equity securities classified as such is appropriate since they are not actively traded as of the measurement dates.

The Company’s fixed maturity and equity securities available-for-sale portfolio is highly liquid and allows for a high percentage of the portfolio to be priced through pricing services.

3. Fair Value Measurements (continued)

The estimated fair value amounts have been determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment was required to interpret market data to develop these estimates. Accordingly, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts which could be realized in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the fair value amounts.

The following methods and assumptions were used in estimating the fair value disclosures for financial instruments in the accompanying financial statements and notes thereto:

Fixed Maturity Securities and Equity Securities

The fair value of fixed maturity securities and equity securities are based on the principles previously discussed as Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3.

Mortgage Loans on Real Estate

The fair values for mortgage loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses. For residential mortgage loans, the discount rate used was indexed to the LIBOR yield curve adjusted for an appropriate credit spread. For commercial mortgage loans, the discount rate used was assumed to be the interest rate on the last commercial mortgage acquired by the Company.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Short-Term Investments, Accrued Investment Income, Policy Loans and Loans from Premium Financing

The carrying value of these financial instruments approximates their fair values. Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments are included in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy due to their highly liquid nature.

Other Long-Term Investments

Other long-term investments are comprised of lottery prize receivables and fair value is derived by using a discounted cash flow approach. Projected cash flows are discounted using the average Citigroup Pension Liability Index in effect at the end of each period.

Investment Contracts – Policyholders’ Account Balances

The fair value for liabilities under investment-type insurance contracts (accumulation annuities) is calculated using a discounted cash flow approach. Cash flows are projected using actuarial assumptions and discounted to the valuation date using risk-free rates adjusted for credit risk and the nonperformance risk of the liabilities.

The fair values for insurance contracts other than investment-type contracts are not required to be disclosed.

Policy Claims

The carrying amounts reported for these liabilities approximate their fair value.

Notes Payable

The carrying amounts reported for these liabilities approximate their fair value. These notes payable were issued on March 26, 2014 and the current refinancing of these liabilities would result in notes payable yielding approximately the carrying amount as shown in the December 31, 2014 consolidated statement of financial position. The notes payable were settled on March 11, 2015.

6. Federal Income Taxes

The provision for federal income taxes is based on the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes are provided for the cumulative temporary differences between balances of assets and liabilities determined under GAAP and the balances using tax bases. A valuation allowance has been established due to the uncertainty of certain loss carryforwards.

The Company has no known uncertain tax benefits within its provision for income taxes. In addition, the Company does not believe it would be subject to any penalties or interest relative to any open tax years and, therefore, has not accrued any such amounts. The Company files U.S. federal income tax returns and income tax returns in various state jurisdictions. The 2011 through 2014 U.S. federal tax years are subject to income tax examination by tax authorities. The Company classifies any interest and penalties (if applicable) as income tax expense in the financial statements.

7. Legal Matters and Contingent Liabilities

The Company and Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Gregg E. Zahn, filed an action in the District Court of Tulsa County, Oklahoma in 2013, Case No. CJ-2013-03385, against former Company Board of Directors member, Wayne Pettigrew and Mr. Pettigrew’s company, Group & Pension Planners, Inc. (the “Defendants”). The petition filed in the case alleges that Mr. Pettigrew, during and after the time he was a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, made defamatory statements regarding the Company and Mr. Zahn and committed breaches of his fiduciary duties to the Company. The defendants are alleged to have made defamatory statements to certain shareholders of the Company, to the press and to the Oklahoma Insurance Department and the Oklahoma Department of Securities. Mr. Pettigrew has denied the allegations.

The Board of Directors, represented by independent counsel, concluded that there was no action to be taken against Mr. Zahn and that the allegations by Mr. Pettigrew were without substance. The Company has been informed by the Oklahoma Insurance Department that it would take no action and was also informed that the Oklahoma Department of Securities, after its investigation of the allegations, concluded that no proceedings were needed with respect to the alleged matters.

It is the Company’s intention to vigorously prosecute this action against the Defendants for damages and for the correction of the defamatory statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the ultimate resolution of any contingencies that may arise from this litigation is not considered material in relation to the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

Prior to its acquisition by TLIC, FBLIC developed, marketed, and sold life insurance products known as “Decreasing Term to 95” policies. On January 17, 2013, FBLIC’s Board of Directors voted that, effective March 1, 2013, it was not approving, and therefore was not providing, a dividend for the Decreasing Term to 95 policies. On November 22, 2013, three individuals who owned Decreasing Term to 95 policies filed a Petition in the Circuit Court of Greene County, Missouri asserting claims against FBLIC relating to FBLIC’s decision to not provide a dividend under the Decreasing Term to 95 policies.

The Petition asserts claims for breach of contract and anticipatory breach of contract and alleges that FBLIC breached, and will anticipatorily breach, the Decreasing Term to 95 policies of insurance by not providing a dividend sufficient to purchase a one year term life insurance policy which would keep the death benefit under the Decreasing Term to 95 policies the same as that provided during the first year of coverage under the policy. In addition to these claims, the Petition asserts claims for negligent misrepresentation, fraud, and violation of the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act (“MMPA”). It alleges that during its sale of the Decreasing Term to 95 policies, FBLIC represented that the owners of these policies would always be entitled to dividends to purchase a one-year term life insurance policy and that the owners would have a level death benefit without an increase in premium.

7. Legal Matters and Contingent Liabilities (continued)

The Petition also seeks to certify a class of individuals with similar claims but no class has been certified by the Court. FBLIC denies the allegations in the Petition and will continue to defend against them. It is the Company’s intention to vigorously defend the request for class certification, as well as to defend vigorously against the individual allegations. FBLIC filed a motion for partial summary judgment seeking summary judgment on the claims for violation of MMPA. This motion for partial summary judgment asked the court to declare that the MMPA does not apply to insurance companies such as FBLIC and enter judgment for FBLIC on the petition. A hearing for the motion of summary judgment was held on February 25, 2015 and it was subsequently denied by the court on March 2, 2015. The Company is unable to determine the potential magnitude of the claims in the event of a final certification and the plaintiffs prevailing on this substantive action.

9. Allowance for Loan Losses from Mortgage Loans on Real Estate and Loans from Premium Financing

The allowance for possible loan losses from investments in mortgage loans on real estate and loans from premium financing is a reserve established through a provision for possible loan losses charged to expense which represents, in the Company’s judgment, the known and inherent credit losses existing in the residential and commercial mortgage loan and premium financing loan portfolios. The allowance, in the judgment of the Company, is necessary to reserve for estimated loan losses inherent in the residential and commercial mortgage loan and premium finance loan portfolios and reduces the carrying value of investments in mortgage loans on real estate and premium finance loans to the estimated net realizable value on the consolidated statement of financial position.

While the Company utilizes its best judgment and information available, the ultimate adequacy of the allowance is dependent upon a variety of factors beyond the Company’s control, including the performance of the residential and commercial mortgage loan and premium finance loan portfolios, the economy and changes in interest rates. The Company’s allowance for possible mortgage loan and premium finance loan losses consists of specific valuation allowances established for probable losses on specific loans and a portfolio reserve for probable incurred but not specifically identified loans.

Mortgage loans and premium finance loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the mortgage loan or premium finance loan agreement. Factors considered by the Company in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value of the real estate subject to the mortgage loan, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Mortgage loans and premium finance loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.

The Company determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the mortgage loan or premium finance loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis.

As of June 30, 2015, $563,792 of independent mortgage loan balances are held in escrow by a third party for the benefit of the Company related to its investment in $16,871,255 of mortgage loans on real estate with one loan originator. In addition, the Company has an additional $164,458 allowance for possible loan losses in the remaining $33,030,790 of investments in mortgage loans on real estate as of June 30, 2015.

As of December 31, 2014, $540,049 of independent mortgage loan balances are held in escrow by a third party for the benefit of the Company related to its investment in $12,892,150 of mortgage loans on real estate with one loan originator. In addition, the Company had an additional $126,466 allowance for possible loan losses in the remaining $25,757,583 of investments in mortgage loans on real estate as of December 31, 2014.

Through June 30, 2012, FTCC financed amounts up to 80% of the premium on property and casualty insurance policies after a 20% or greater down payment was made by the policy owner. The premiums financed were collateralized by the amount of the unearned premium of the insurance policy. Policies that became delinquent were submitted for cancellation and recovery of the unearned premium, up to the amount of the loan balance, 25 days after a payment became delinquent. Loans from premium financing of $320,996 and $321,244 as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, are carried net of estimated loan losses of $197,171 and $197,358 as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The Company has made no premium financing loans since June 30, 2012. FTCC currently has no operations other than minor premium refunds, collections of past due accounts and accounts involved in litigation.

Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

First Trinity Financial Corporation (“we” “us”, “our”, “FTFC” or the “Company”) conducts operations as an insurance holding company emphasizing ordinary life insurance products in niche markets.

As an insurance provider, we collect premiums in the current period to pay future benefits to our policy and contract holders. Our core TLIC and FBLIC operations include issuing modified premium whole life insurance with a flexible premium deferred annuity, ordinary whole life, final expense, term and annuity products to predominately middle income households in the states of Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia through independent agents.

We also realize revenues from our investment portfolio, which is a key component of our operations. The revenues we collect as premiums from policyholders are invested to ensure future benefit payments under the policy contracts. Life insurance companies earn profits on the investment spread, which reflects the investment income earned on the premiums paid to the insurer between the time of receipt and the time benefits are paid out under policies. Changes in interest rates, changes in economic conditions and volatility in the capital markets can all impact the amount of earnings that we realize from our investment portfolio.

Acquisitions

The Company expects to facilitate growth through acquisitions of other life insurance companies and/or blocks of life insurance business. In late December 2008, the Company completed its acquisition of 100% of the outstanding stock of FLAC, included in the life insurance and annuity segments, for $2,500,000 and had additional acquisition related expenses of $195,000. In late December 2011, the Company completed its acquisition of 100% of the outstanding stock of FBLIC, also included in the life insurance and annuity segments, for $13,855,129.

Our profitability in the life insurance and annuity segments is a function of our ability to accurately price the policies that we write, adequately value life insurance business acquired, administer life insurance company acquisitions at an expense level that validates the acquisition cost and invest the premiums and annuity considerations in assets that earn investment income with a positive spread.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity and capital resources is based on our consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions continually, including those related to investments, deferred acquisition costs, allowance for loan losses from mortgages and premium financing, value of insurance business acquired, policy liabilities, regulatory requirements, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors and assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

For a description of the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates, please refer to “Item 7 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. The Company considers its most critical accounting estimates to be those applied to investments in fixed maturity and equity securities, mortgage loans on real estate, deferred policy acquisition costs, value of insurance business acquired and future policy benefits. There have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates since December 31, 2014.

	(Unaudited)					Increase
	Three Months Ended June 30,					(Decrease)			Percentage Change
	2015			2014		2015 less 2014				2015 to 2014

The $503,498 increase in total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2015 is discussed below.

Premiums

Our premiums for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 are summarized as follows:

	(Unaudited)				Increase
	Three Months Ended June 30,				(Decrease)			Percentage Change
	2015		2014		2015 less 2014				2015 to 2014
Whole life and term first year	$	22,691	$	12,386	$	10,305			83.2	%
Whole life and term renewal		609,445		617,086		(7,641	)		-1.2	%

Total premiums	$	2,325,124	$	1,932,055	$	393,069			20.3	%

The $393,069 increase in premiums for the three months ended June 30, 2015 is primarily due to a $320,329 increase in final expense first year premiums due to increased production from the expansion of FBLIC into additional states. There was also a $70,076 increase in final expense renewal premiums reflecting the persistency of prior years’ final expense production.

Net Investment Income

The major components of our net investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 are summarized as follows:

	(Unaudited)						Increase
	Three Months Ended June 30,						(Decrease)			Percentage Change
	2015			2014			2015 less 2014				2015 to 2014

Short-term and other investments		65,434			35,781			29,653			82.9	%
Gross investment income		2,822,195			2,405,041			417,154			17.3	%
Investment expenses		(317,433	)		(143,438	)		173,995			-121.3	%
Net investment income	$	2,504,762		$	2,261,603		$	243,159			10.8	%

The $417,154 increase in gross investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2015 is due to additional investments in mortgage loans and fixed maturity securities. In the twelve months since June 30, 2014, our investments in mortgage loans have increased approximately $21.2 million. In addition, in the twelve months since June 30, 2014, our investments in fixed maturity securities have increased approximately $11.8 million. The $132,977 decrease in real estate investment income is related to our sale of $6,693,044 of real estate held for investment in March 2015.

The $173,995 increase in investment expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2015 is primarily related to fees and expenses associated with the increased investments in mortgage loans and the expenses incurred during second quarter 2015 in engaging an investment advisor.

Net Realized Investment Gains

There was a $383,064 decrease in net realized investment gains for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

The net realized investment gains from the sales and maturities of fixed maturity securities available-for-sale of $62,329 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 resulted from proceeds of $1,399,932 for these securities that had carrying values of $1,337,603 at the 2015 disposal dates.

The net realized investment gains from the sales and maturities of fixed maturity securities available-for-sale of $266,427 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 resulted from proceeds of $5,149,728 for these securities that had carrying values of $4,883,301 at the 2014 disposal dates.

There were no realized gains and losses from the sales of equity securities available-for-sale for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

The net realized investment gains from the sales of equity securities available-for-sale of $21,400 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 resulted from proceeds of $101,080 for these securities that had carrying values of $79,680 at the 2014 disposal dates.

The net realized investment gains from mortgage loans on real estate of $19,758 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 resulted from the early pay off of mortgage loans that the Company had acquired at a discount price.

The net realized investment gains from mortgage loans on real estate of $177,324 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 resulted from the early pay off of mortgage loans that the Company had acquired at a discount price.

We have recorded one other-than-temporary impairment during 2015. During the second quarter of 2015, we impaired our bonds in a mining corporation with a total par value of $600,000 as a result of continuing unrealized losses. This impairment was considered fully credit-related, resulting in a charge to the statement of operations before tax of $304,256 for the three months ended June 30, 2015. This charge represents the credit-related portion of the difference between the amortized cost basis of the security and its fair value. We have experienced no additional other-than-temporary impairments during 2015.

On April 28, 2015, we acquired a block of life insurance policies and annuity contracts according to the terms of an assumption reinsurance agreement. We recorded an asset of $550,000 associated with this reinsurance assumption during second quarter 2015 which was equivalent to the estimated gain on the reinsurance assumption transaction. During third quarter 2015, we will complete the evaluation of assets and liabilities associated with the reinsurance assumption. Once this analysis is complete, any adjustments will be recorded as a gain (loss) on reinsurance assumption.

Total Benefits, Claims and Expenses

Our benefits, claims and expenses are primarily generated from benefit payments, surrenders, interest credited to policyholders, change in reserves, commissions and other underwriting, insurance and acquisition expenses. Benefit payments can significantly impact expenses from period to period.

Our benefits, claims and expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 are summarized as follows:

	(Unaudited)						Increase
	Three Months Ended June 30,						(Decrease)			Percentage Change

Total benefits, claims and expenses	$	4,872,107		$	4,214,305		$	657,802			15.6	%

The $657,802 increase in total benefits, claims and expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2015 is discussed below.

Benefits and Claims

The $693,392 increase in benefits and claims for the three months ended June 30, 2015 is primarily due to the following:

●

$309,818 increase in future policy benefits is primarily related to the production of new policies, initial sales of policies to older age bands resulting in an increased mortality reserve charge and the aging of existing policies.

●

$265,893 increase in interest credited to policyholders is primarily due to an increase of approximately $35.3 million in the amount of policyholders’ account balances in the consolidated statement of financial position (increased deposits in excess of withdrawals) since June 30, 2014.

●

$101,405 increase in death benefits is primarily due to seven additional final expense claims at an average of approximately $13,900 per claim. The increased final expense mortality was offset by less mortality in the other lines. Final expense mortality is above actuarial estimates when the products were introduced but management and actuarial analysis continues to conclude that its final expense products are profitable.

Deferral and Amortization of Deferred Acquisition Costs

Certain costs related to the successful acquisition of traditional life insurance policies are capitalized and amortized over the premium-paying period of the policies. Certain costs related to the successful acquisition of insurance and annuity policies that subject us to mortality or morbidity risk over a period that extends beyond the period or periods in which premiums are collected and that have terms that are fixed and guaranteed (i.e., limited-payment long-duration annuity contracts) are capitalized and amortized in relation to the present value of actual and expected gross profits on the policies.

These acquisition costs, which are referred to as deferred policy acquisition costs, include commissions and other successful costs of acquiring life insurance, which vary with, and are primarily related to, the successful production of new and renewal insurance and annuity contracts.

For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, capitalized costs were $1,251,016 and $558,309, respectively. Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were $463,089 and $308,272, respectively.

The $692,707 increase in the acquisition costs deferred primarily relates to increased production of final expense and annuity products. The $154,817 increase in the 2015 amortization of deferred acquisition costs is primarily due to increased mortality associated with final expense policies and a decrease in the percentage of submitted policies issued.

Amortization of Value of Insurance Business Acquired

The cost of acquiring insurance business is amortized over the emerging profit of the related policies using the same assumptions that were used in computing liabilities for future policy benefits. Amortization of the value of insurance business acquired was $99,399 and $96,744 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Commissions

Our commissions for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 are summarized as follows:

	(Unaudited)
	Three Months Ended June 30,				Increase		Percentage Change
	2015		2014		2015 less 2014			2015 to 2014
Annuity	$	280,864	$	167,038	$	113,826		68.1	%
Whole life and term first year		13,897		10,926		2,971		27.2	%
Whole life and term renewal		28,380		27,554		826		3.0	%
Final expense first year		617,140		227,427		389,713		171.4	%
Final expense renewal		99,188		96,586		2,602		2.7	%

Total commissions	$	1,039,469	$	529,531	$	509,938		96.3	%

The $509,938 increase in commissions for the three months ended June 30, 2015 is primarily due to:

●

$389,713 increase in final expense first year commissions that correspond to the $320,329 increase in final expense first year premiums.

●

$113,826 increase in annuity first year, single and renewal commissions that corresponds to $4,218,726 of increased annuity considerations deposited in excess of withdrawals.

Other Underwriting, Insurance and Acquisition Expenses

There was a minor decrease of $10,293 in other underwriting, insurance and acquisition expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Federal Income Taxes

FTFC files a consolidated federal income tax return with FTCC but does not file a consolidated tax return with TLIC or FBLIC. TLIC and FBLIC are taxed as life insurance companies under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Life insurance companies must file separate tax returns until they have been a member of the consolidated filing group for five years.

However, in 2014 and 2013, TLIC and FBLIC filed combined life insurance company 2013 and 2012 federal tax returns and intend to also file a combined life insurance company 2014 federal tax return for TLIC and FBLIC in 2015. Certain items included in income reported for financial statement purposes are not included in taxable income for the current period, resulting in deferred income taxes.

For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, current income tax expense was $24,413 and $28,191, respectively. Deferred federal income tax benefits were $98,056 and $11,104 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Net Income Per Common Share Basic and Diluted

Net income was $370,606 ($0.05 per common share basic and diluted) and $434,180 ($0.06 per common share basic and diluted) for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Net income per common share basic and diluted is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and subscribed during the year. The weighted average outstanding and subscribed common shares basic and diluted for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were 7,802,610 and 7,831,934, respectively.

Benefits and Claims

The $1,324,924 increase in benefits and claims for the six months ended June 30, 2015 is primarily due to the following:

●

$491,573 increase in interest credited to policyholders is primarily due to an increase of approximately $35.3 million in the amount of policyholders’ account balances in the consolidated statement of financial position (increased deposits in excess of withdrawals) since June 30, 2014.

●

$481,157 increase in future policy benefits is primarily related to the production of new policies, initial sales of policies to older age bands resulting in an increased mortality reserve charge and the aging of existing policies.

●

$297,747 increase in death benefits is primarily due to 24 additional final expense claims at an average of approximately $13,800 per claim. The increased final expense mortality was offset by less mortality in the other lines. Final expense mortality is above actuarial estimates when the products were introduced but management and actuarial analysis continues to conclude that its final expense products are profitable.

Deferral and Amortization of Deferred Acquisition Costs

For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, capitalized costs were $2,222,967 and $1,086,471, respectively. Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were $857,549 and $589,554, respectively.

The $1,136,496 increase in the acquisition costs deferred primarily relates to increased production of final expense and annuity products. The $267,995 increase in the 2015 amortization of deferred acquisition costs is primarily due to increased mortality associated with final expense policies and a decrease in the percentage of submitted policies issued.

Amortization of Value of Insurance Business Acquired

The cost of acquiring insurance business is amortized over the emerging profit of the related policies using the same assumptions that were used in computing liabilities for future policy benefits. Amortization of the value of insurance business acquired was $199,357 and $202,598 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The $3,126,138 increase in other long-term investments (comprised of lottery receivables) for the six months ended June 30, 2015 is primarily due to purchases of $4,368,725 and accretion of discount of $839,826 less principal payments of $2,082,413.

The $6,765,788 decrease in investment real estate is primarily due to our March 11, 2015 sale of investment real estate in buildings and land held for sale in Greensburg, Indiana; Norman, Oklahoma; Houston, Texas and Harrisonville, Missouri with an aggregate carrying value of $6,693,044 as of both December 31, 2014 and March 11, 2015. The Company recorded a gross profit on these sales of $390,202 based on an aggregate sales price of $7,083,246 less closing costs and expenses of $20,119. The remaining $72,744 difference is the depreciation of the Topeka building that is held for the production of income.

Our assets other than invested assets as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are summarized as follows:

	(Unaudited)				Increase (Decrease)			Percentage Change

Assets other than investment assets	$	37,722,618	$	35,419,815	$	2,302,803			6.5	%

The $358,931 increase in agents’ balances and due premiums is primarily due to a $385,562 increase in agents’ balances. This increase is due to increased production of annuity contracts and final expense policies.

The $311,704 increase in accrued investment income is due to the $19,264,299 increase in invested assets during the first six months of 2015.

The changes in deferred policy acquisition costs and value of business acquired are presented in the consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015. In addition, the $18,008 deferred policy acquisition costs adjustment included in other comprehensive loss is presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

The change in cash and cash equivalents is presented in the consolidated statement of cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and is discussed in more detail in the liquidity and capital resources section below.

The $25,701 decrease in property and equipment is due to the depreciation of those assets for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

The $42,856 decrease in recoverable from reinsurers relates to the timing of collections under our reinsurance agreements.

Other assets consist primarily of recoverable federal and state income taxes, receivables from mortgage loans and other long-term assets (lottery receivables), guaranty funds, notes receivable, prepaid expenses, other receivables, assumption reinsurance asset and loans from premium financing.

The $1,857,877 increase in other assets is primarily due to increases in notes receivable of $1,179,486, other receivables of $840,545, reinsurance assumption asset of $550,000 and recoverable state income taxes of $42,567 that exceeded decreases in receivables from mortgage loans and other long-term assets (lottery receivables) of $496,503, recoverable federal income taxes of $189,162 and prepaid assets of $60,644.

On April 28, 2015, we acquired a block of life insurance policies and annuity contracts according to the terms of an assumption reinsurance agreement. We recorded an asset of $550,000 associated with this reinsurance assumption during second quarter 2015 which was equivalent to the estimated gain on the reinsurance assumption transaction. During third quarter 2015, we will complete the evaluation of assets and liabilities associated with the reinsurance assumption in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Once this analysis is complete, any adjustments will be recorded as a gain (loss) on reinsurance assumption.

On April 15, 2015, the Company loaned $400,000 to its former Chairman. The loan has a term of one year and has a contractual interest rate of 5.50%. The loan is collateralized by 100,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common stock owned by the former Chairman.

Our liabilities as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are summarized as follows:

	(Unaudited)				Increase (Decrease)			Percentage Change
	June 30, 2015		December 31, 2014			2015 to 2014			2015 to 2014

The $24,752,961 increase in policy liabilities is primarily due to deposits on annuity and deposit-type contracts ($25,903,955) exceeding withdrawals ($5,503,062) by $20,400,893, interest credited to policyholders’ account balances of $2,593,300 and increased future policy benefit reserves of $1,710,599.

On March 26, 2014, we issued two notes payable totaling $4,076,473. The first note payable totaling $3,009,265 was collateralized (including assignment of the tenant leases) by three properties, located in Indiana, Oklahoma and Texas, purchased for a total of $4,940,647 in December 2013 and February 2014.

In December 2013, TLIC purchased one acre of land in Greensburg, Indiana that included a 3,975 square foot building constructed on approximately 8% of this land at a cost of $2,444,203 (including closing costs of $50,516). The building is leased through October 31, 2027 plus four future five year extensions effective on November 1, 2027, November 1, 2032, November 1, 2037 and November 1, 2042. The terms of the lease have the lessee responsible for paying real estate taxes, building insurance and building and ground maintenance. The monthly lease payments are as follows: $14,661 in 2014; $14,881 in 2015; $15,104 in 2016; $15,531 in 2017; $15,561 in 2018 and $15,794 in 2019.

The second promissory note totaling $1,067,208 was collateralized (including assignment of the tenant leases) by the February 2014 TLIC purchase of three-fourths of an acre of land in Harrisonville, Missouri that included a 6,895 square foot building constructed on approximately 20% of this land at a cost of $1,752,397 (including closing costs of $44,864). The building is leased through October 31, 2028 plus three future five year extensions on November 1, 2028, November 1, 2033 and November 1, 2038. The terms of the lease have the lessee responsible for paying real estate taxes, building insurance and building and ground maintenance. The monthly lease payments are $9,463 through October 31, 2028.

The $491,644 decrease in deferred federal income taxes during the six months ended June 30, 2015 was due to $334,932 of decreased deferred federal income taxes on the unrealized appreciation of available-for-sale fixed maturity and equity securities and $156,712 of operating deferred tax benefits.

Other liabilities consist primarily of accrued expenses, account payables, deposits on pending policy applications, estimated guaranty fund assessment liability, unearned investment income, unclaimed funds, withholdings and purchase of securities where the trade date and settlement date are in different accounting periods.

The $2,026,990 increase in other liabilities is primarily due to a $1,781,697 increase in deposits on pending applications, a $190,000 increase in accrued expenses and a $80,167 decrease in loan origination fees.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our operations have been financed primarily through the private placement of equity securities and intrastate public stock offerings. Through June 30, 2015, we have received $27,119,480 from the sale of our shares. The Company raised $1,450,000 from two private placements during 2004 and $25,669,480 from two public stock offerings and one private placement stock offering from June 22, 2005 through February 23, 2007; June 29, 2010 through April 30, 2012; and August 15, 2012 through March 8, 2013. The Company issued 7,347,488 shares of its common stock and incurred $3,624,518 of offering costs during these private placements and public stock offerings.

Our operations have been profitable and have generated $8,620,773 of net income from operations since we were incorporated in 2004. The Company also issued 702,685 shares of its common stock in connection with two stock dividends paid to shareholders in 2011 and 2012 that resulted in accumulated earnings being charged $5,270,138 with an offsetting credit of $5,270,138 to common stock and additional paid-in capital.

The historic impact of these two stock dividend charges of $5,270,138 decreased during 2011 and 2012 the balance of accumulated earnings and resulted in a reported balance as of June 30, 2015 of $3,350,635, as shown in the accumulated earnings caption in the June 30, 2015 consolidated statement of financial position.

As of June 30, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $8,817,165. As of June 30, 2015, cash and cash equivalents of $6,397,018 and $1,947,688, respectively, of the total $8,817,165 were held by TLIC and FBLIC and may not be available for use by FTFC due to the required pre-approval by the OID and Missouri Department of Insurance of any dividend or intercompany transaction to transfer funds to FTFC. The maximum dividend, which may be paid in any twelve-month period without notification or approval, is limited to the greater of 10% of statutory surplus as of December 31 of the preceding year or the net gain from operations of the preceding calendar year.

Cash dividends may only be paid out of surplus derived from realized net profits. Based on these limitations, there is capacity for TLIC to pay a dividend up to $2,167,518 in 2015 without prior approval. In addition, based on those limitations, there is the capacity for FBLIC to pay a dividend up to $980,906 in 2015 without prior approval. FBLIC paid a dividend of $1,500,000 to TLIC in December 2014. This dividend was eliminated in consolidation. TLIC has paid no dividends to FTFC.

The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents at multiple institutions. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures interest and non-interest bearing accounts up to $250,000. Uninsured balances aggregate $6,087,342 as of June 30, 2015. Uninsured balances aggregated $6,494,515 as of December 31, 2014. Other funds are invested in mutual funds that invest in U.S. government securities. We monitor the solvency of all financial institutions in which we have funds to minimize the exposure for loss. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 are summarized as follows:

	(Unaudited)						Increase
	Six Months Ended March 31,						(Decrease)			Percentage Change
	2015			2014				2015 to 2014			2015 to 2014
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	2,828,025		$	817,731		$	2,010,294			245.8	%
Net cash used in investing activities		(20,455,023	)		(18,960,810	)		(1,494,213	)		7.9	%
Net cash provided by financing activities		16,285,777			16,415,820			(130,043	)		-0.8	%
Decrease in cash		(1,341,221	)		(1,727,259	)		386,038			-22.3	%
Cash and cash equivalents, beginning of period		10,158,386			10,608,438			(450,052	)		-4.2	%
Cash and cash equivalents, end of period	$	8,817,165		$	8,881,179		$	(64,014	)		-0.7	%

The $2,010,294 increase in cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015 is primarily due to increases in short-term investments of $1,392,138, net investment income of $968,293, premiums of $699,405, net tax refunds of $562,973 and policy loan payments of $113,620 that exceeded commissions of $1,255,942, death benefits of $221,242, expenses of $174,139, surrenders of $33,942 and dividends of $32,322.

The $1,494,213 decrease in cash used for investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015 was primarily related to $5,991,897 of decreased 2015 sales and maturity of fixed maturity securities, $2,956,927 of increased 2015 purchases of mortgage loans, $2,531,106 of increased purchases of other long-term investments, $1,102,383 of increased 2015 purchases of fixed maturity securities that exceeded $7,047,246 of proceeds from the 2015 sale of investment real estate held for sale, $2,817,857 of decreased purchases of real estate held for sale, $1,113,245 of increased 2015 payments of mortgage loans and $135,251 of increased payments of long-term investments.

The $130,043 decrease in cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 resulted from $8,152,946 less funds available in 2015 due to both the settlement of and issuance of note payable proceeds of $4,076,473 that exceeded $7,981,546 of increased 2015 policyholder account deposits ($10,245,350) in excess of withdrawals ($2,263,804) and $41,357 of 2015 decreased purchases of treasury shares.

Our shareholders’ equity as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 is summarized as follows:

	(Unaudited)						Increase (Decrease)			Percentage Change
	June 30, 2015			December 31, 2014				2015 to 2014			2015 to 2014

Common stock, par value $.01 per share, 20,000,000 shares authorized, and 8,050,173 and 8,050,193 issued as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, and 7,802,593 and 7,812,038 outstanding as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively	$	80,502		$	80,502		$	-			0.0	%
Additional paid-in capital		28,684,598			28,684,748			(150	)		0.0	%
Treasury stock, at cost (247,580 and 238,155 shares as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively)		(893,947	)		(855,304	)		(38,643	)		4.5	%
Accumulated other comprehensive income		1,343,818			2,683,543			(1,339,725	)		-49.9	%
Accumulated earnings		3,350,635			2,616,849			733,786			28.0	%
Total shareholders' equity	$	32,565,606		$	33,210,338		$	(644,732	)		-1.9	%

The decrease in shareholders’ equity of $644,732 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 is due to $1,339,725 of other comprehensive loss and $38,643 for purchases of 9,425 shares of treasury stock from the former chairman of FTFC that exceeded net income of $733,636.

Equity per common share outstanding decreased 1.9% to $4.17 as of June 30, 2015 compared to $4.25 per share as of December 31, 2014, based upon 7,802,593 common shares outstanding as of June 30, 2015 and 7,812,038 common shares outstanding as of December 31, 2014.

The liquidity requirements of our life insurance companies are met primarily by funds provided from operations. Premium deposits and revenues, investment income and investment maturities are the primary sources of funds, while investment purchases, policy benefits, and operating expenses are the primary uses of funds. There were no liquidity issues in 2015 or 2014. Our investments consist primarily of marketable debt securities that could be readily converted to cash for liquidity needs.

We are subject to various market risks. The quality of our investment portfolio and the current level of shareholders’ equity continue to provide a sound financial base as we strive to expand our marketing to offer competitive products. Our investment portfolio had unrealized appreciation on available-for-sale securities of $1,698,204 and $3,390,869 as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, prior to the impact of income taxes and deferred acquisition cost adjustments. The $1,911,843 decrease in unrealized gains arising for the six months ended June 30, 2015 has been offset by net realized investment losses for the six months ended June 30, 2015 of $219,178 originating from the sale and call activity for available-for-sale fixed maturity and equity securities and a loss on other-than-temporary impairment.

A primary liquidity concern is the risk of an extraordinary level of early policyholder withdrawals. We include provisions within our insurance policies, such as surrender charges, that help limit and discourage early withdrawals. Individual life insurance policies are less susceptible to withdrawal than annuity reserves and deposit liabilities because policyholders may incur surrender charges and undergo a new underwriting process in order to obtain a new insurance policy. Cash flow projections and cash flow tests under various market interest rate scenarios are also performed annually to assist in evaluating liquidity needs and adequacy. We currently anticipate that available liquidity sources and future cash flows will be adequate to meet our needs for funds.

One of our significant risks relates to the fluctuations in interest rates. Regarding interest rates, the value of our available-for-sale fixed maturity securities investment portfolio will increase or decrease in an inverse relationship with fluctuations in interest rates, while net investment income earned on newly acquired available-for-sale fixed maturity securities increases or decreases in direct relationship with interest rate changes.

From an income perspective, we are exposed to rising interest rates which could be a significant risk, as TLIC’s and FBLIC’s annuity business is impacted by changes in interest rates. Life insurance company policy liabilities bear fixed rates. From a liquidity perspective, our fixed rate policy liabilities are relatively insensitive to interest rate fluctuations.

We believe gradual increases in interest rates do not present a significant liquidity exposure for the life insurance policies. We maintain conservative durations in our fixed maturity portfolio. As of June 30, 2015, cash, short-term investments and the fair value of fixed maturity available-for-sale securities with maturities of less than one year and the fair value of lottery receivables with maturities of less than one year equaled 9.1% of total policy liabilities. If interest rates rise significantly in a short time frame, there can be no assurance that the life insurance industry, including the Company, would not experience increased levels of surrenders and reduced sales, and thereby be materially adversely affected.

In addition to the measures described above, TLIC and FBLIC must comply with the NAIC promulgated Standard Valuation Law ("SVL") which specifies minimum reserve levels and prescribes methods for determining them, with the intent of enhancing solvency. Upon meeting certain tests, which TLIC and FBLIC met during 2014, the SVL also requires the Company to perform annual cash flow testing for TLIC and FBLIC. This testing is designed to ensure that statutory reserve levels will maintain adequate protection in a variety of potential interest rate scenarios. The Actuarial Standards Board of the American Academy of Actuaries also requires cash flow testing as a basis for the actuarial opinion on the adequacy of the reserves which is a required part of the annual statutory reporting process.

Our marketing plan could be modified to emphasize certain product types and reduce others. New business levels could be varied in order to find the optimum level. We believe that our current liquidity, current bond portfolio maturity distribution and cash position give us substantial resources to administer our existing business and fund growth generated by direct sales.

The operations of TLIC and FBLIC may require additional capital contributions to meet statutory capital and surplus requirements mandated by state insurance departments. Life insurance contract liabilities are generally long term in nature and are generally paid from future cash flows or existing assets and reserves.

We will service other expenses and commitments by: (1) using available cash, (2) dividends from TLIC and FBLIC that are limited by law to the greater of prior year net operating income or 10% of prior year-end surplus unless specifically approved by the controlling insurance department, (3) public and private offerings of our common stock and (4) corporate borrowings, if necessary.

We are not aware of any commitments or unusual events that could materially affect our capital resources. We are not aware of any current recommendations by any regulatory authority which, if implemented, would have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, capital resources or operations.

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2015 will be sufficient to fund our anticipated operating expenses.
