PART 1 Item 1. Business

Business Development

First Trinity Financial Corporation was incorporated in Oklahoma on April 19, 2004, for the primary purpose of organizing a life insurance subsidiary. The Company raised $1,450,000 from two private placement stock offerings during 2004. On June 22, 2005, the Company’s intrastate public stock offering filed with the Oklahoma Department of Securities for $12,750,000, which included a 10% "over-sale" provision (additional sales of $1,275,000), was declared effective. The offering was completed February 23, 2007. The Company raised $14,025,000 from this offering.

On June 29, 2010, the Company commenced a public offering of its common stock registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Oklahoma Department of Securities. The public offering is for 1,333,334 shares of the Company’s common stock for $7.50 per share. All these shares were sold as of February 17, 2012 and the Company has now received $8.5 million after reduction for offering expenses and sales commissions. The Company has registered an additional 133,334 shares of its common stock to cover over subscriptions. The Company is now selling these oversubscriptions. The sale of all the additional shares would provide the Company with an additional $850,000 after reduction for offering expenses and sales commissions.

The offering was extended on June 28, 2011 and will end on June 28, 2012, unless all the Company’s shares are sold before then. As of December 31, 2011, the Company has received gross proceeds of $9,271,215 from the subscription of 1,236,162 shares of its common stock in this offering and incurred $1,404,300 in offering costs. The proceeds were originally deposited in an escrow account that was released from escrow by the Oklahoma Department of Securities in August 2010 after the offering exceeded $1,000,000 in gross proceeds. Proceeds from the sale of shares of the Company’s common stock in this public offering after August 2010 were available to the Company without being held in escrow.

The Company purchased First Life America Corporation (“FLAC”) on December 23, 2008. On August 31, 2009, two of the Company’s subsidiaries, Trinity Life Insurance Company (“Old TLIC”) and FLAC, were merged, with FLAC being the surviving company. Immediately following the merger, FLAC changed its name to Trinity Life Insurance Company (“TLIC”).

After the merger, the Company had two wholly owned subsidiaries, First Trinity Capital Corporation (“FTCC”) and TLIC, domiciled in Oklahoma.

TLIC is primarily engaged in the business of marketing, underwriting and distributing a broad range of individual life and annuity insurance products to individuals in eight states primarily in the Midwest. TLIC’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 products are sold through independent agents in the states of Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma and Texas. The Company’s operations, prior to the acquisition of FLAC, involved the sale of a modified premium whole life insurance policy with a flexible premium deferred annuity rider through its subsidiary Old TLIC in the state of Oklahoma.

On October 20, 2011, Trinity Life Insurance Company announced that it had signed a transaction agreement to acquire Family Benefit Life Insurance Company, a life and annuity insurance company incorporated and domiciled in Missouri. Prior to October 20, 2011, the Company purchased 401,381 Family Benefit Life common shares. TLIC purchased all of the remaining 886,259 issued and outstanding shares of Family Benefit Life from its shareholders. The transaction price per share was $11.05 and was based on Family Benefit Life’s statutory capital and surplus (presented in accordance with statutory accounting principles) as of September 30, 2011 and the number of common shares issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2011 plus a premium of approximately $3.7 million. The transaction was subject to completion of due diligence, the continuation of Family Benefit Life’s business in the ordinary course and certain other conditions.

Closing of the Family Benefit Life acquisition occurred between December 13, 2011 and December 28, 2011 as Trinity Life Insurance Company purchased the Family Benefit Life’s remaining 886,259 issued and outstanding shares from the Company’s shareholders. Family Benefit Life is primarily engaged in the business of marketing, underwriting and distributing a broad range of individual life and annuity insurance products to individuals in seven states. Family Benefit Life’s current product portfolio consists of whole life, term, accidental death and dismemberment, annuity, endowment and group life insurance products. The products are sold through independent agents in the states of Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico and Oklahoma.

The Company also owns 100% of Southern Insurance Services, LLC, (“SIS”), a limited liability company acquired in 2009, that operated a property and casualty insurance agency through 2010 but currently has no operations.

The Company was a development stage company until commencing operations in 2007. Net losses of $3,480,907 occurred from 2004 through 2009. Those losses resulted primarily from costs incurred while raising capital and establishing the subsidiary companies as well as losses resulting from issuing and administering new and renewal life insurance policies. The Company’s operations produced combined net income of $7,451,329 in 2010 and 2011. The Company has therefore had cumulative net income since inception of $3,850,422. The Company issued 323,777 shares in connection with a stock dividend paid to shareholders of record as of March 10, 2011, however, that resulted in accumulated earnings (deficit) being charged $2,428,328 with an offsetting credit of $2,428,328 to common stock and additional paid-in capital. The impact of this stock dividend charge of $2,428,328 to accumulated earnings (deficit) decreased the balance as of December 31, 2011 to $1,542,094.

Acquisition of Other Companies

On December 23, 2008, FTFC acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of First Life America Corporation from an unaffiliated company (the “FLAC acquisition”). The FLAC acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. The aggregate purchase price for the FLAC acquisition was approximately $2,695,000 (including direct cost associated with the acquisition of approximately $195,000). The FLAC acquisition 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.

On December 28, 2011, TLIC acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Family Benefit Life from Family Benefit Life’s shareholders (the “Family Benefit Life acquisition”). The Family Benefit Life acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. The aggregate purchase price for the Family Benefit Life acquisition was $13,855,129.

TLIC acquired 100% ownership of Family Benefit Life for $13,855,129 paid in cash. The fair value of the net assets acquired in this transaction was $20,770,608. Since the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeded the purchase price for acquiring those net assets by $6,915,479, the residual was recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as a component of revenues captioned as “Gain from acquisition of Family Benefit Life” per the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board Codification Topic 805 “Business Combinations.” The reason for the gain from the acquisition of Family Benefit Life related primarily to that company’s management not being committed to wanting to rebuild the marketing force of that company in the current economic environment.

Financial Information about Segments

Our business is comprised of three primary operating business segments: Life and Annuity Insurance Operations, Premium Finance Operations and Corporate Operations. Results for the parent holding company, after elimination of intercompany amounts, are allocated to the corporate operations segment.

See Note 12 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for operating results of our segments for each of the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Life and Annuity Insurance Operations

Our Life and Annuity Insurance Operations consists of issuing ordinary whole life insurance, modified premium whole life with an annuity rider, term, final expense, accidental death and dismemberment and annuity products. The policies 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.

Old TLIC entered into an administrative services agreement with Investors Heritage Life Insurance Company (“IHLIC”) on January 11, 2007. Under the terms of this agreement, IHLIC provided services that included underwriting, actuarial, policy issue, accounting, claims processing and other services incidental to the operations of OLD TLIC. The agreement was effective for a period of five (5) years. However, the agreement was terminated after the merger with FLAC and replaced with a new TLIC administrative services agreement dated May 28, 2009 that provides the same services as the terminated agreement with Old TLIC. The new agreement terminated on January 31, 2012 and is now on a month-to-month basis as a new agreement is being negotiated with virtually the same terms as the previous agreement that will likely include a provision that the agreement may be terminated at any time with a 180 day prior notice.

We seek to serve middle income households in the states of Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma and Texas. The majority of our inforce business results from the acquisition of FLAC. We market our products through independent agents. The acquisition of Family Benefit Life will allow us to expand during 2012 into the additional states of Arizona, Colorado, Missouri and New Mexico.

The following table sets forth our direct collected premiums and annuity considerations by state, for each state in which we are licensed, for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, in accordance with statutory accounting practices prescribed by the states of domicile of TLIC.

Reinsurance

TLIC cedes reinsurance under various agreements allowing management to control exposure to potential losses arising from large risks and providing additional capacity for growth and risk diversification. TLIC reinsures all amounts of risk on any one life in excess of $55,000 for individual life insurance with Investors Heritage Life Insurance Company, Munich American Reassurance Company, Optimum Re Life Company and Wilton Reassurance Company.

TLIC is a party to an Automatic Retrocession Pool Agreement (the “Reinsurance Pool”) with Optimum Re Life Company, Catholic Order of Foresters, American Home Life Insurance Company and Woodmen of the World. The agreement provides for automatic retrocession of coverage in excess of Optimum Re Life Company’s retention on business ceded to Optimum Re Life Company by the other parties to the Reinsurance Pool. TLIC’s maximum exposure on any one insured under the Reinsurance Pool is $50,000. As of January 1, 2008, the Reinsurance Pool stopped accepting new cessions.

Effective September 29, 2005, FLAC and Wilton Reassurance Company executed a binding letter of intent whereby both parties agreed that FLAC would cede the simplified issue version of its Golden Eagle Whole Life (Final Expense) product to Wilton Reassurance Company on a 50/50 quota share original term coinsurance basis. The letter of intent was executed on a retroactive basis to cover all applicable business issued by FLAC subsequent to January 1, 2005. Wilton Reassurance Company agreed to provide various commission and expense allowances to FLAC in exchange for FLAC ceding 50% of the applicable premiums to Wilton Reassurance Company as they were collected. As of June 24, 2006, Wilton Reassurance Company terminated the reinsurance agreement for new business issued after the termination date.

Family Benefit Life assumes reinsurance from and ceded insurance to other insurers and reinsurers under various contracts that cover individual risks or entire classes of business. These reinsurance arrangements provide greater diversification of business and minimize losses arising from large risks or from hazards of an unusual nature. To the extent that the reinsurance companies are unable to meet their obligations under the reinsurance agreements, TLIC and Family Benefit Life remain primarily liable for the entire amount at risk.

Competition

The U.S. life insurance industry is a mature industry that, in recent years, has experienced little to no growth. Competition is intense because the life insurance industry is consolidating, with larger, more efficient and more effective organizations emerging from consolidation. In addition, legislation became effective in the United States that permits commercial banks, insurance companies and investment banks to combine. These factors have increased competitive pressures in general.

Many domestic life insurance companies have significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources, longer business histories and more diversified lines of insurance products than we do. We also face competition from companies marketing in person as well as with direct mail and Internet sales campaigns. Although we may be at a competitive disadvantage to these entities, we believe that our premium rates and policy features are generally competitive with those of other life insurance companies selling similar types of products.

Governmental Regulation

TLIC and Family Benefit Life, respectively, are subject to regulation and supervision by the Oklahoma Insurance Department (“OID”) and the Missouri Department of Insurance (“MDOI”). The insurance laws of Oklahoma and Missouri give the OID and MDOI broad regulatory authority, including powers to: (i) grant and revoke licenses to transact business; (ii) regulate and supervise trade practices and market conduct; (iii) establish guaranty associations; (iv) license agents; (v) approve policy forms; (vi) approve premium rates for some lines of business; (vii) establish reserve requirements; (viii) prescribe the form and content of required financial statements and reports; (ix) determine the reasonableness and adequacy of statutory capital and surplus; and (x) regulate the type and amount of permitted investments.

TLIC and Family Benefit Life can be required, under the solvency or guaranty laws of most states in which it does business, to pay assessments (up to prescribed limits) to fund policyholder losses or liabilities of other insurance companies that become insolvent. These assessments may be deferred or foregone under most guaranty laws if they would threaten an insurer's financial strength and, in certain instances, may be offset against future premium taxes.

Oklahoma and Missouri have enacted legislation which regulates insurance holding company systems, including acquisitions, extraordinary dividends, terms of affiliate transactions, and other related matters. Under the Oklahoma and Missouri statutes, TLIC and Family Benefit Life may not during any year pay dividends on common stock to the parent company in excess of the lesser of the net gain from operations for the preceding year or 10% of capital and surplus at the end of the preceding year, without the consent of the Oklahoma Commissioner of Insurance or Missouri Director of Insurance. Cash dividends may only be paid out of surplus derived from realized net profits. Based on these limitations, there is no capacity for TLIC to pay a dividend in 2012 without prior approval. However, based on these limitations, there is capacity for Family Benefit Life to pay a dividend up to $934,675 in 2012 without prior approval. There were no dividends paid or a return of capital to the parent company in 2011 and 2010.

There are certain factors particular to the life insurance business which may have an adverse effect on the statutory operating results of TLIC and Family Benefit Life. One such factor is that the costs associated with issuing a new policy in force is usually greater than the first year’s policy premium. Accordingly, in the early years of a new life insurance company, these initial costs and the required provisions for reserves often have an adverse effect on statutory operating results.

Premium Finance Operations

The premium finance subsidiary, FTCC, provides premium financing to individuals and businesses. Many casualty insurance carriers require their premiums to be paid on an annual or lump sum basis. A premium finance company finances these casualty premiums. A typical premium finance contract requires the insured to pay 25% of the premium up front and the balance is paid over a nine month period. Premium financing is unique in that the unpaid balance due the company is lower than the unearned premium, which has in effect been assigned to the company in the event of non-payment, thus, the element of risk is minimized.

FTCC was capitalized with $4,000,000 from FTFC. The Company engages in the premium finance business, independent of its life insurance business. FTCC is licensed to conduct premium finance business in Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Oklahoma. FTCC has contracted with over 200 insurance agencies to finance their casualty insurance premiums but is now focused on financing with approximately 30 agencies primarily in Oklahoma. There is no guarantee that these agencies will write contracts with FTCC. FTCC is not dependent on a single customer or a few major customers. During 2011, FTCC returned $1,000,000 of capital to FTFC.

Premium finance companies are regulated by the individual states with no uniformity among state regulations. Commercial insurance premium finance transactions are not regulated directly in Oklahoma. Consumer insurance premium finance transactions are considered a consumer credit sale and are subject to the Oklahoma Uniform Consumer Credit Code. Therefore the regulation of the transaction is by the Oklahoma Department of Consumer Credit under the consumer credit laws. FTCC is regulated by the Department of Banking in Mississippi.

Finance companies are subject to interest rate fluctuations. An increase in the cost of funds or a decrease in interest rates that FTCC can charge could affect the net return.

The premium financing business is highly competitive in every channel in which FTCC competes. FTCC competes with large financial institutions most of which may have greater financial, marketing and other resources than FTCC. FTCC has targeted the niche market of small businesses and individual consumers needing casualty insurance financing and faces competition with many specialty financing businesses. Some competitors are affiliated with property and casualty writing agencies and may have advantageous marketing relationships with their affiliates.

SIS, a property and casualty insurance agency acquired in 2009, wrote commercial and personal lines of insurance, primarily in the state of Mississippi. SIS is no longer operating as a property and casualty insurance agency and currently has no operations.

Employees

As of March 26, 2012, the Company had thirteen full-time employees and two part-time employees.

Item 2. Properties

The Company leased approximately 2,517 square feet of office space in Tulsa, Oklahoma pursuant to a three-year lease that began July 1, 2008 and leased 950 square feet of office space effective December 15, 2009 that terminated December 31, 2010. On June 17, 2010, the Company agreed to lease an additional 4,252 square feet of expansion office space whereby effective October 1, 2010, the Company would lease for five years a combined 6,769 square feet. Under the terms of the home office leases as amended, the monthly rent expense for the 2,517 square feet was $3,041 through June 30, 2009, $3,146 from July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010, $3,251 from July 1, 2010 through September 30, 2010 and $7,897 from October 1, 2010 through September 30, 2015. The 950 square feet lease was $1,225 per month. The Company incurred rent expense of $72,809 and $73,155 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Future minimum lease payments to be paid under non cancelable lease agreements are $94,764 for each of the years 2012 through 2014 and $71,073 in 2015.

TLIC owns approximately six and one-half acres of land located in Topeka, Kansas. A 20,000 square foot office building has been constructed on approximately one-half of this land.

On December 24, 2009, TLIC entered into a five year lease of approximately 7,500 square feet of its building in Topeka, Kansas with an option for the lessee to renew the lease for five additional years. The monthly lease payments are as follows: $8,888 in 2010, $9,130 in 2011 and 2012 and $9,371 in 2013 and 2014.

TLIC has also leased 10,000 square feet in the Topeka, Kansas office building under a lease that was renewed during 2006 to run through June 30, 2011 with a 90 day notice to terminate the lease by the lessee. This lease was renewed on July 1, 2011 to run through May 31, 2016. Beginning July 1, 2014, the lessee can terminate the lease with a 180 day written notice. The lease agreement calls for minimum monthly base lease payments of $17,535 beginning on July 1, 2011.

Effective August 29, 2005, TLIC executed a lease agreement for 2,500 square feet of the Topeka, Kansas office building. The base lease period commenced on September 1, 2005 and ended on August 31, 2010. The lease automatically renewed on August 15, 2010, for another five years with a 90 day notice by the lessee to terminate the lease. The lease agreement called for minimum monthly base lease payments of $4,332 through August 31, 2010. The lease payments decreased to $3,100 per month for the period September 1, 2010 through August 31, 2015.

Family Benefit Life owns approximately one and one-half acres of land located in Jefferson City, Missouri. A 6,100 square foot building (serving as Family Benefit Life’s headquarters) and a 2,200 square foot building (leased to a third party) have been constructed on one acre of this land and the other 0.5 acres is held for sale.

With respect to the 2,200 square foot building located in Jefferson City Missouri, Family Benefit Life entered into a one-year lease beginning August 1, 2010 and ending July 31, 2011. The lease can be renewed annually if no termination notice is given by either party on or before May 1. No notice was given by either party on May 1, 2011 and therefore the lease was renewed for an additional one-year period. The tenant pays Family Benefit Life $15,000 per year in monthly installments of $1,250.

The future minimum lease payments to be received under the above non cancelable lease agreements are $357,180, $360,072, $360,072, $235,220 and $87,675 for the years 2012 through 2016, respectively.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

There are no material legal proceedings pending against the Company or its subsidiaries or of which any of their property is the subject. There are no proceedings in which any director, officer, affiliate or shareholder of the Company, or any of their associates, is a party adverse to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or has a material interest adverse to the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Not applicable.

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Small Business Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

(a) Market Information

Trading of the Company’s common stock is limited and an established public market does not exist.

(i) Holders

As of March 12, 2012 there were approximately 4,000 shareholders of the Company’s outstanding common stock.

(ii) Dividends

The Company has not paid any cash dividends since inception (April 19, 2004). The Board of Directors of the Company has not adopted a dividend payment policy; however, dividends must necessarily depend upon the Company's earnings and financial condition, applicable legal restrictions, and other factors relevant at the time the Board of Directors considers a dividend policy. Cash available for dividends to shareholders of the Company must initially come from income and capital gains earned on its investment portfolio and dividends paid by the Company’s subsidiaries.

Provisions of the Oklahoma Insurance Code relating to insurance holding companies subject transactions between the Company and TLIC and the Company and Family Benefit Life, including dividend payments, to certain standards generally intended to prevent such transactions from adversely affecting the adequacy of life insurance subsidiaries' capital and surplus available to support policyholder obligations. In addition, under the Oklahoma General Corporation Act, the Company may not pay dividends if, after giving effect to a dividend, it would not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business or if its total liabilities would exceed its total assets.

On January 10, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a 5% share dividend by which shareholders received a share of common stock for each 20 shares of common stock of the Company they hold. The dividend was payable to the holders of shares of the Corporation as of March 10, 2011. Fractional shares were rounded to the nearest whole number of shares. The Company issued 323,777 shares in connection with the stock dividend that resulted in accumulated deficit being charged $2,428,328 with an offsetting credit of $2,428,328 to common stock and additional paid-in capital.

On January 11, 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors approved another 5% share dividend by which shareholders will receive a share of Common Stock for each 20 shares of common stock of the Company they hold. The dividend is payable to the holders of shares of the Corporation as of March 10, 2012. Fractional shares will be rounded to the nearest whole number of shares. It is anticipated that approximately 378,000 shares will be issued in connection with the stock dividend that will result in accumulated deficit being charged by approximately $2,835,000 with an offsetting credit of approximately $2,835,000 to common stock and additional paid-in capital.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition, Results of Operation and Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

First Trinity Financial Corporation (“we” “us”, “our”, or the Company) conducts operations as an insurance holding company emphasizing ordinary life insurance products in niche markets and a premium finance company, financing casualty insurance premiums.

As an insurance provider, we collect premiums in the current period to pay future benefits to our policy and contract holders. Our core 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 Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma and Texas through independent agents. With the acquisition of Family Benefit Life in late 2011, we will be expanding into Arizona, Colorado, Missouri and New Mexico in 2012.

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.

We provide financing for casualty insurance premiums through independent property and casualty insurance agents. We are licensed in the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Oklahoma.

Recent 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 First Life America Corporation, included in the life insurance segment, 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 Family Benefit Life Insurance Company, included in the life insurance segment, for $13,855,129.

Our profitability in the life insurance segment is a function of our ability to accurately price the policies that we write, adequately value life insurance business acquired and administer life insurance company acquisitions at an expense level that validates the acquisition cost. Profitability in the premium financing segment is dependent on the Company’s ability to compete in that sector, maintain low administrative costs and minimize losses.

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, loans from premium financing, allowance for loans losses from premium financing, value of insurance business acquired, policy liabilities, income taxes, 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. We believe the following accounting policies, judgments and estimates are the most critical to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Investments in Fixed Maturities and Equity Securities

We hold fixed maturities and equity interests in a variety of companies. We continuously evaluate all of our investments based on current economic conditions, credit loss experience and other developments. We evaluate the difference between the cost/amortized cost and estimated fair value of our investments to determine whether any decline in fair value is other-than-temporary in nature. This determination involves a degree of uncertainty. If a decline in the fair value of a security is determined to be temporary, the decline is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) within shareholders’ equity. If a decline in a security’s fair value is considered to be other-than-temporary, we then determine the proper treatment for the other-than-temporary impairment.

For fixed maturities, the amount of any other-than-temporary impairment related to a credit loss is recognized in earnings and reflected as a reduction in the cost basis of the security. The amount of any other-than-temporary impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) with no change to the cost basis of the security. For equity securities, the amount of any other-than temporary impairment is recognized in earnings and reflected as a reduction in the cost basis of the security.

The assessment of whether a decline in fair value is considered temporary or other-than-temporary includes management’s judgment as to the financial position and future prospects of the entity issuing the security. It is not possible to accurately predict when it may be determined that a specific security will become impaired. Future adverse changes in market conditions, poor operating results of underlying investments and defaults on interest and principal payments could result in losses or an inability to recover the current carrying value of the investments, thereby possibly requiring an impairment charge in the future. In addition, if a change occurs in our intent to sell temporarily impaired securities prior to maturity or recovery in value, or if it becomes more likely than not that we will be required to sell such securities prior to recovery in value or maturity, a future impairment charge could result. If an other-than-temporary impairment related to a credit loss occurs with respect to a bond, we amortize the reduced book value back to the security’s expected recovery value over the remaining term of the bond. We continue to review the security for further impairment that would prompt another write-down in the book value.

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs

Commissions and other acquisition costs which vary with and are primarily related to the successful production of new and renewal insurance contracts are deferred and amortized in a systematic manner based on the related contract revenues or gross profits as appropriate. The recovery of deferred acquisition costs is dependent on the future profitability of the underlying business for which acquisition costs were incurred. Each reporting period, we evaluate the recoverability of the unamortized balance of deferred acquisition costs. We consider estimated future gross profits or future premiums; expected mortality or morbidity; interest earned and credited rates; persistency and expenses in determining whether the balance is recoverable.

If we determine a portion of the unamortized balance is not recoverable, it is immediately charged to amortization expense. The assumptions we use to amortize and evaluate the recoverability of the deferred acquisition costs involve significant judgment. A revision to these assumptions may impact future financial results.

Deferred acquisition costs related to the successful production of new and renewal insurance business for traditional life insurance contracts are deferred to the extent deemed recoverable and amortized over the premium paying period of the related policies using assumptions consistent with those used in computing future policy benefit liabilities.

Deferred acquisition costs related to the successful production of new and renewal insurance and annuity products 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 deferred to the extent deemed recoverable and amortized in relation to the present value of actual and expected gross profits on the policies. To the extent that realized gains and losses on securities result in adjustments to deferred acquisition costs related to insurance and annuity products, such adjustments are reflected as a component of the amortization of deferred acquisition costs.

Deferred acquisition costs related to limited-payment long-duration insurance and annuity contracts are also adjusted, net of tax, for the change in amortization that would have been recorded if the unrealized gains (losses) from securities had actually been realized. This adjustment is included in the change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on available-for-sale securities, a component of “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” in the shareholders’ equity section of the statement of financial position.

Loans from Premium Financing and Allowance for Loans from Premium Financing

Loans from premium financing are carried at their outstanding unpaid principal balances, net of unearned interest, charge-offs and an allowance for loan losses. Interest on loans is earned based on the interest method for computing unearned interest. The rule of 78s is used to calculate the amount of the interest charge to be forgiven in the event that a loan is repaid prior to the agreed upon number of monthly payments. When serious doubt concerning collectability arises, loans are placed on a nonaccrual basis. Generally if no payment is received after one hundred twenty days, all accrued and uncollected interest income is reversed against current period operations. Interest income on nonaccrual loans is recognized only when the loan is paid in full. Loan origination fees and costs are charged to expense as incurred.

The allowance for possible loan losses from financing property and casualty insurance premiums is a reserve established through a provision for possible loan losses charged to expense which represents, in management’s judgment, the known and inherent credit losses existing in the loan portfolio. The allowance, in the judgment of management, is necessary to reserve for estimated loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio and reduces the carrying value of loans from premium financing to the estimated net realizable value on the statement of financial position.

While management utilizes its best judgment and information available, the ultimate adequacy of the allowance is dependent upon a variety of factors beyond our control, including the performance of the loan portfolio, the economy and changes in interest rates. The Company’s allowance for possible 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.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by us in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. We determine the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the 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.

Value of Insurance Business Acquired

As a result of our purchases of FLAC and Family Benefit Life, an asset was recorded in the application of purchase accounting to recognize the value of acquired insurance in force. The Company’s value of acquired insurance in force is an intangible asset with a definite life and is amortized under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance. The value of acquired insurance in force is amortized primarily over the emerging profit of the related policies using the same assumptions that were used in computing liabilities for future policy benefits. The recovery of the value of insurance business acquired is dependent on the future profitability of the underlying business that was initially recorded in the purchases of FLAC and Family Benefit Life. Each reporting period, we evaluate the recoverability of the unamortized balance of the value of insurance business acquired.

For the amortization of the value of acquired insurance in force, the Company reviews its estimates of gross profits each reporting period. The most significant assumptions involved in the estimation of gross profits include interest rate spreads; future financial market performance; business surrender and lapse rates; mortality and morbidity; expenses and the impact of realized investment gains and losses. In the event actual experience differs significantly from assumptions or assumptions are significantly revised, the Company is required to record a charge or credit to amortization expense for the period in which an adjustment is made.

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010 there was $827,409 and $604,958, respectively, of accumulated amortization of the value of insurance business acquired due to the FLAC purchase that occurred at the end of 2008. We expect to amortize the value of insurance business acquired by the following amounts over the next five years: $463,663 in 2012, $445,656 in 2013, $429,468 in 2014, $412,077 in 2015 and $395,047 in 2016. As of December 31, 2011, there was no amortization of the value of insurance business acquired due to the purchase of Family Benefit Life that occurred at the end of 2011.

Future Policy Benefits

Our liability for future policy benefits is primarily comprised of the present value of estimated future payments to or on behalf of policyholders, where the timing and amount of payment depends on policyholder mortality or morbidity, less the present value of future net premiums. For life insurance and annuity products, expected mortality and morbidity is generally based on the Company’s historical experience or standard industry tables including a provision for the risk of adverse deviation. Interest rate assumptions are based on factors such as market conditions and expected investment returns. Although mortality and morbidity and interest rate assumptions are “locked-in” upon the issuance of new insurance with fixed and guaranteed terms, significant changes in experience or assumptions may require the Company to provide for expected future losses on a product by establishing premium deficiency reserves.

Estimating liabilities for our long-duration insurance contracts requires management to make various assumptions, including policyholder persistency; mortality rates; investment yields; discretionary benefit increases; new business pricing and operating expense levels. We evaluate historical experience for these factors when assessing the need for changing current assumptions. However, since many of these factors are interdependent and subject to short-term volatility during the long-duration contract period, substantial judgment is required. Actual experience may emerge differently from that originally estimated. Any such difference would be recognized in the current year’s consolidated statement of income.

Federal Income Taxes

We use the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes are provided for cumulative temporary differences between balances of assets and liabilities determined under GAAP and balances determined using tax basis. A valuation allowance is established for the amount of the deferred tax asset that exceeds the amount of the estimated future taxable income needed to utilize the future tax benefits.

We evaluate our deferred income tax assets, which partially offset our deferred tax liabilities, for any necessary valuation allowances. In doing so, we consider our ability and potential for recovering income taxes associated with such assets, which involve significant judgment. Revisions to the assumptions associated with any necessary valuation allowances would be recognized in the financial statements in the period in which such revisions are made.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820 - Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (“ASU 2010-06”). The new guidance requires entities to separately disclose information relative to transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 in the fair value hierarchy. In addition, ASU 2010-06 requires separate presentation of transfers in, transfers out, purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of Level 3 investments in the tabular reconciliation of Level 3 activity. ASU 2010-06 also clarifies the level of disaggregation for which fair value measurements should be disclosed and requires that information about input and valuation techniques be disclosed for Level 2 and Level 3 assets and liabilities. The Company adopted this guidance effective for the first quarter of 2010.

In October 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-26, Financial Services – Insurance (Topic 944), Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts (“ASU 2010-26”). The new guidance requires that an insurance entity capitalize only the following as acquisition costs related directly to the successful acquisition of new or renewal insurance contracts:

Incremental direct costs of contract acquisition.

The portion of an employee’s total compensation and payroll-related fringe benefits related directly to acquisition activities for time spent performing underwriting, policy issuance, policy processing, medical, inspection and sales force contract selling for a contract that has actually been acquired.

Other costs related directly to the acquisition activities described in point 2 above that would not have been incurred by the insurance entity had the acquisition contract transaction not occurred.

Advertising costs that meet the capitalization criteria of Subtopic 340-20.

All other acquisition costs should be charged to expense as incurred. In addition, administrative costs, rent, depreciation, occupancy, equipment and all other general overhead costs are considered indirect costs and should be charged to expense as incurred. ASU 2010-26 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, but only at the beginning of an entity’s annual reporting period. The Company will adopt ASU 2010-26 in first quarter 2012. The Company has assessed the guidance and has determined that it will not have a significant financial impact since the Company utilizes a dynamic model whereby deferred acquisition costs on the statement of financial position only include policies currently in force. This current dynamic model results in immediate amortization of all deferred acquisition costs on the statement of operations where the policy is no longer in force. Once adopted, the above defined acquisition costs will only be capitalized directly related to the successful acquisition of new or renewal insurance contracts. After adoption, these acquisition costs will be amortized on the statement of operations when the related policies are no longer in force.

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820) - Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS (“ASU 2011-04”). The new pronouncement ensures that fair value has the same meaning in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and that their respective fair value measurements and disclosure requirements are the same (except for minor differences in wording and style). The amendments in ASU 2011-04 change the wording used to describe the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring and disclosing information about fair value measurements. The amendments clarify the following:

The concepts of highest and best use and valuation premise in a fair value measurement are relevant only when measuring the fair value of nonfinancial assets and are not relevant when measuring the fair value of financial assets and liabilities.

Requirements specific to measuring the fair value of an instrument classified in shareholders’ equity.

Quantitative information about the observable inputs used in a fair value measurement of items categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy should be disclosed.

The amendments also change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements. The amendments change the following:

Measuring the fair value of financial instruments that are managed within a portfolio.

In the absence of Level 1 input, premiums or discounts should be applied if market participants would do so when pricing an asset or liability.

Expanded the disclosures about fair value instruments.

Within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Use of nonfinancial assets in a way that differs from the assets highest and best use.

Categorization by level of the fair value hierarchy for items that are not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position but for which fair value is required to be disclosed.

ASU 2011-04 is effective for public companies for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011 and shall be applied prospectively. Early application is not permitted. The Company will adopt this guidance in first quarter 2012.

In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) - Presentation of Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2011-05”). The new pronouncement improves the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting by increasing the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income and facilitates the convergence of U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option of presenting components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. ASU 2011-05 requires that all nonowner changes in shareholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In a single continuous statement, the following shall be presented: components of net income, net income, components of comprehensive income, total for other comprehensive income and the total of comprehensive income. In the two-statement approach, the first statement should present total net income and its components followed consecutively by a second statement that should present total other comprehensive income, the components of other comprehensive income and the total of comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 indicates that regardless of whether comprehensive income is presented in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements, reclassification adjustments between net income and other comprehensive income are required to be presented on the face of the financial statements. ASU 2011-05 is effective for public companies for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220 - Deferral of Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 (“ASU 2011-12”). ASU 2011-12 indefinitely defers the requirement to present reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income by components in both the statement in which net income is presented and the statement in which other comprehensive income is presented.

Business Segments

FASB guidance requires a "management approach" in the presentation of business segments based on how management internally evaluates the operating performance of business units. The discussion of segment operating results that follows is being provided based on segment data prepared in accordance with this methodology.

Our business segments are as follows:

Life and annuity insurance operations, consisting of the operations of TLIC and Family Benefit Life;

Premium finance operations, consisting of the operations of FTCC and SIS; and

Corporate operations, which includes the results of the parent company after the elimination of intercompany amounts.

Please see Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding segment data.

Results of Operations

Revenues

Our primary sources of revenue are life insurance premium income and investment income. Premium payments are classified as first-year, renewal and single. In addition, realized gains and losses on investment holdings can significantly impact revenues from period to period. During 2011, we experienced a gain from the acquisition of Family Benefit Life.

Total consolidated revenues increased 83.9% from $8,821,306 for the year ended December 31, 2010 to $16,224,259 for the year ended December 31, 2011, an increase of $7,402,953.

Premiums

Premiums increased 5.7% from $5,895,030 for the year ended December 31, 2010 to $6,229,383 for the year ended December 31, 2011, an increase of $334,353. The increase was due to the following:

$338,463 increase in final expense first year premium production.

$431,401 increase in final expense renewal premium production.

$15,553 decrease in whole life and term renewal premium production

$419,958 decrease in first year production of whole life and term premiums due to the focus of our captive agents on the public stock offering that began on June 29, 2010.

Income from Premium Financing

Income from premium financing decreased 35.2% from $259,296 for the year ended December 31, 2010 to $168,124 for the year ended December 31, 2011, a decrease of $91,172. The income from premium financing has steadily decreased during the past two years. Premium financing operations are mostly based on the production of loan agreements with Oklahoma agents although we are issuing a limited number of loans in Louisiana and Mississippi with profitable agencies but currently have no production in Alabama and Arkansas. The Company is closely evaluating premium financing operations to determine if it can continue based almost entirely on Oklahoma production.

Net Investment Income

Net investment income decreased 6.1% from $2,441,334 for the year ended December 31, 2010 to $2,291,761 for the year ended December 31, 2011, a decrease of $149,573.

Gross investment income increased 10.1% from $2,627,127 for the year ended December 31, 2010 to $2,893,214 for the year ended December 31, 2011, an increase of $266,087. The cash provided by continued insurance operations has provided a larger invested asset base that the company has continued to invest. However, it has been difficult throughout 2011 to locate adequate yield in investment grade securities.

Investment expenses, however, increased 223.7% from $185,793 for the year ended December 31, 2010 to $601,453 for the year ended December 31, 2011, an increase of $415,660. The increased investment expenses are primarily attributed to the following increases: $187,000 increase in real estate taxes, $130,000 increase in investment advisory management services and a $94,000 increase in depreciation of the real estate held for investment due to the change on January 1, 2011 of the useful life of the building from 39 year to 19 years. The Company engaged a new investment advisory management firm in late 2011 with the goal of reducing these expenses in 2012.

Net Realized Investment Gains

Net realized investment gains were $606,935 and $159,300 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, an increased net realized investment gain of $447,635. The increased net realized investment gains are primarily due to sales of fixed maturity available-for-sale securities and call activity during 2011.

The 2011 net realized investment gains from the sales of fixed maturity securities available-for-sale of $606,935 resulted from sale proceeds of $4,671,870 on fixed maturity securities available-for-sale having a $4,064,935 carrying value at the 2011 disposal dates.

The 2010 net realized investment gains from the sales of fixed maturity available-for-sale securities of $139,172 resulted from sale proceeds of $1,868,930 on fixed maturity available-for-sale securities having a $1,729,758 carrying value at the 2010 disposal dates.

The 2010 net realized investment gains from the sales of two equity securities available-for-sale of $20,128 resulted from sale proceeds of $65,592 on equity securities available-for-sale having a $45,464 carrying value at the 2010 disposal dates.

There were no 2011 sales of equity securities available-for-sale.

We have recorded no other-than-temporary impairments in 2011 and 2010. As of December 31, 2011, we held nine fixed maturity securities available-for-sale with an unrealized loss of $84,771, fair value of $1,887,299 and amortized cost of $1,972,070. All of these fixed maturity securities available-for-sale had a fair value to cost ratio equal to or greater than 90%. As of December 31, 2010, we held five fixed maturity securities available-for-sale with an unrealized loss of $43,118, fair value of $1,467,816 and amortized cost of $1,510,934. All of these fixed maturity securities available-for-sale had a fair value to cost ratio equal to or greater than 94%.

Gain from Acquisition of Family Benefit Life

In late December 2011, we acquired 100% ownership of Family Benefit Life from its shareholders for $13,855,129 paid in cash. The fair value of the net assets acquired in this transaction was $20,770,608. Since the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeded the cost paid for those assets by $6,915,479, the residual was recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as a component of revenues captioned “Gain from acquisition of Family Benefit Life” per the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board Codification Topic 805 “Business Combinations.” The reason for the gain from the acquisition of Family Benefit Life related primarily to that company’s management not being committed to rebuild the marketing force of that company in the current economic environment.

The total acquisition date fair value of the net assets acquired from Family Benefit Life in late December 2011 is as follows:

Category of Net Asset Acquired	Fair Value
Available-for-sale fixed maturity securities	$	56,252,307
Available-for-sale equity securities		304,773
Mortgage loans on real estate		79,710
Investment real estate		582,560
Policy loans		1,047,378
Other invested assets		110
Cash and cash equivalents		9,103,505
Accrued investment income		775,438
Recoverable from reinsurers		120,068
Agents' balances and due premiums		16,476
Value of insurance business acquired		5,627,662
Other assets		10,336
Policyholders' account balances		(36,746,133	)
Future policy benefits		(13,502,833	)
Policy claims		(166,593	)
Premiums paid in advance		(12,214	)
Deferred federal income taxes		(2,188,650	)
Current federal taxes payable		(36,720	)
Other liabilities		(496,572	)
Fair value of net assets acquired	$	20,770,608
Cash paid as purchase consideration	$	(13,855,129	)
Gain from acquisition of Family Benefit Life	$	6,915,479

Other Income

Other income was $12,577 and $66,346 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, a decrease of $53,769. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in service fees in 2011.

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.

Total consolidated benefits, claims and expenses decreased 2.3% from $8,936,496 for the year ended December 31, 2010 to $8,733,988 for the year ended December 31, 2011, a decrease of $202,508.

Benefits and Claims

Benefits and claims increased 4.8% from $5,063,553 for the year ended December 31, 2010 to $5,308,825 for the year ended December 31, 2011, an increase of $245,272.

The increase in benefits and claims is primarily due to the following:

$278,598 increase in interest credited to policyholders primarily due to an increase in the amount of policyholders’ account balances in the consolidated statement of financial position (increased deposits in excess of withdrawals).

$56,522 increase in death benefits primarily due to an increase in the number of claims incurred, increase in the average claim amount and an increase in the amount and number of claims in course of settlement.

$58,252 decrease in the change in reserves.

$31,596 decrease in surrenders primarily related to improved persistency.

Deferral and 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 production of new and renewal insurance and annuity contracts.

For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, capitalized costs were $2,262,751 and $1,773,199, respectively. Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $230,284 and $451,349, respectively. The $489,552 increase in the acquisition costs deferred primarily relates to increased new business production of final expense policies and annuity contracts. In addition, there was a 2011 change in the methodology of deferring and amortizing deferred acquisition costs that is explained below.

The $221,065 decrease in the amortization of deferred acquisition costs primarily reflects the impact of a 2011 change in the methodology of deferring and amortizing deferred acquisition costs as explained below.

During 2011 $358,740 of deferrable acquisition costs associated with policies that were issued and lapsed in 2011 were not deferred and were not amortized. During 2010, $299,158 of deferrable acquisition costs associated with policies that were issued and lapsed in 2010 were deferred and were amortized during 2010.

A summary of the impact of this 2011 methodology change on the deferral and amortization of deferred acquisition costs for the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 is as follows:

	2011 Methodology			2010 Methodology
Year ended Decenber 31, 2011
Deferrred	$	(2,262,751	)	$	(2,621,491	)
Amortized		230,284			589,024

Year ended Decenber 31, 2010
Deferrred	$	(1,474,041	)	$	(1,773,199	)
Amortized		152,191			451,349

Amortization of Value of Insurance Business Acquired

The cost of acquiring insurance business is amortized primarily 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 $222,451 and $271,465 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease in the amortization of value of insurance business acquired of $49,014 reflects improved persistency in the whole life, term and annuity business of FLAC acquired in late 2008. As of December 31, 2011, there was no amortization the value of insurance business acquired due to the purchase of Family Benefit Life that occurred at the end of 2011.

Commissions

Commissions increased 36.3% from $1,673,975 for the year ended December 30, 2010 to $2,281,934 for the year ended December 31, 2011, an increase of $607,959. The increase is primarily due to:

$410,025 increase in final expense first year commissions that corresponds to the $338,463 increase in final expense first year premiums.

$378,283 increase in annuity first year, single and renewal commissions that corresponds to the $8,853,768 of increased 2011 annuity considerations deposited.

$46,091 increase in final expense renewal commissions that corresponds to the $431,401 increase in final expense renewal year premiums.

$218,728 decrease in first year whole life and term commissions that corresponds to the $419,958 decrease in other first year premiums due to the focus of our captive agents on the public stock offering that began on June 29, 2010.

$7,712 decrease in renewal whole life and term commissions that corresponds to a $15,553 decrease in renewal whole life and term premiums due to the focus of our captive agents on the public stock offering that began on June 29, 2010.

Other Underwriting, Insurance and Acquisition Expenses

Other underwriting, insurance and acquisition expenses decreased 9.1% to $3,249,353 for the year ended December 31, 2010 to $2,953,245 for the year ended December 31, 2011, a decrease of $296,108. The decrease is primarily due to:

$304,000 decrease in salaries and wages primarily due to decreased 2011 staffing levels and 2011 staffing resources utilized on the public stock offering that were capitalized as offering costs that reduced additional paid in capital in the shareholders’ equity section of the statement of financial position.

$175,000 decrease in loan losses and other operating expenses in the premium finance operations due to the decline in production of new loans and our focus on business in Oklahoma and with profitable agencies.

$98,000 decrease in agency costs due to the focus of our captive agents on the public stock offering where those agency costs are capitalized as offering costs that reduced additional paid in capital in the shareholders’ equity section of the statement of financial position.

$93,000 decrease in travel and entertainment and other home office expenses related to a 2011 cost containment program.

$41,000 decrease in employee benefits primarily due to decreased staffing levels.

$303,000 increase in professional fees primarily related to engagement of actuaries, lawyers and other professionals to assist with due diligence and other acquisition activities and stock dividend fees.

$93,000 increase in third party administration fees related to an increase in services provided, increased number of policies administered and increased underwriting and new business services related to increased final expense production.

$19,000 increase in other underwriting, insurance and acquisition expenses.

Federal Income Taxes

FTFC files a consolidated federal income tax return with FTCC but does not file a consolidated tax return with TLIC or Family Benefit Life. TLIC and Family Benefit Life are taxed as a life insurance companies under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and must file separate tax returns until they have been a member of the consolidated filing group for five years. 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 years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, deferred income tax expense (benefit) was $96,183 and ($206,526), respectively. Current income taxes were $34,095 for the year ended December 31, 2011. There were no current income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Net Income (Loss) and Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share Basic and Diluted

For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, there was net income of $7,359,993 and $91,336.

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 years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 were 7,349,296 and 6,547,177, respectively. These weighted average shares reflect the retrospective adjustment for the impacts of the 5% stock dividend declared by the Company on January 10, 2011 and January 11, 2012 and payable to holders of shares of the Company as of March 10, 2011 and March 10, 2012.

The Company issued 323,777 shares in connection with the 2011 stock dividend that resulted in accumulated deficit being charged $2,428,328 with an offsetting credit of $2,428,328 to common stock and additional paid-in capital. This was a non-cash investing and financing activity. It is anticipated that approximately 378,000 shares will be issued in connection with the 2012 stock dividend that will result in accumulated deficit being charged by approximately $2,835,000 with an offsetting credit of approximately $2,835,000 to common stock and additional paid-in capital. This will also be a non-cash investing and financing activity.

Business Segments

Life and Annuity Insurance Operations

Revenues from Life and Annuity Insurance Operations increased 88.5% from $8,495,479 for year ended December 31, 2010 to $16,011,386 for the year ended December 31, 2011, an increase of $7,515,907. The increase in revenue from 2010 to 2011 primarily relates to the $6,915,479 gain from the acquisition of Family Benefit Life and $447,635 of increased net realized investment gains.

The income before total federal income taxes from Life and Annuity Insurance Operations was $8,238,255 and $736,035, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. The $7,502,220 increased profitability for 2011 compared to 2010 is primarily due to the $6,915,479 gain from the acquisition of Family Benefit Life and $447,635 of increased net realized investment gains.

Premium Finance Operations

Revenues from Premium Finance Operations decreased 48.5% from $323,816 for year ended December 31, 2010 to $166,919 for the year ended December 31, 2011, a decrease of $156,897. The decrease relates to a decrease in production of loan agreements as management focuses on business primarily with Oklahoma profitable agents.

The loss before total federal income taxes from Premium Finance Operations was $212,706 and $340,395 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The $127,689 decreased loss from 2010 to 2011 is primarily attributable to a decrease in allowance for loan losses, 2011 loan production intentionally decreased with reduced loan issuance made through profitable agencies primarily in Oklahoma and decreased 2011 costs to operate our premium finance operations.

Corporate Operations

Revenues from Corporate Operations were $45,954 and $2,011 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. This $43,943 increase is primarily due to an increase in net investment income.

The loss before total federal income taxes from Corporate Operations was $535,278 and $510,830 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The $24,448 increased loss from 2010 to 2011 is primarily due to increased operating expenses related to the 2011 stock dividend processing and transferring.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our operations have been financed primarily through the private placement of equity securities and an intrastate public stock offering. Through December 31, 2011, we have received $24,746,215 from the sale of our shares. Our operations have been profitable and have generated $3,970,422 of net income from operations since we were incorporated in 2004 as shown in the accumulated earnings balance in the December 31, 2011 consolidated statement of financial position. The Company issued 323,777 shares in connection with a stock dividend paid to shareholders of record as of March 10, 2011, however, that resulted in accumulated earnings being charged $2,428,328 with an offsetting credit of $2,428,328 to common stock and additional paid-in capital. The impact of this stock dividend charge of $2,428,328 to accumulated earnings (deficit) decreased the balance as of December 31, 2011 to $1,542,094.

As of December 31, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $27,705,711 with $9,103,505 acquired in the acquisition of Family Benefit Life. Some of our excess funds have been invested in money market mutual funds. As of December 31, 2011, cash and cash equivalents of $14,383,877 and $9,103,505, respectively, of the total $27,705,711 were held by TLIC and Family Benefit Life and may not be available for use by FTFC due to the required pre-approval by the Oklahoma Insurance Department 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 lesser 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 no capacity for TLIC to pay a dividend in 2011 without prior approval. However, there is the capacity for Family Benefit Life to pay a dividend up to $934,675 in 2012 without prior approval. There were no dividends paid or a return of capital to the parent company in 2010.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation currently insures all non-interest bearing accounts. We monitor the solvency of all financial institutions in which we have funds to minimize the exposure for loss. We do not believe we are at significant risk for such a loss.

During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, cash and cash equivalents increased $14,720,433 and $5,904,586, respectively.

Our operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2011 provided $1,948,708 of cash compared to $1,220,685 of cash provided by operations during the year ended December 31, 2010. The $728,023 increase in cash provided by operations in 2011 is primarily due to increased premiums and decreased expenses in excess of increased benefits, claims and commissions.

Cash used by investing activities for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $5,428,643 and $2,809,417, respectively. The $2,619,226 of increased cash used was primarily utilized to purchase Family Benefit Life that required the net use of $4,751,624 of cash ($13,855,129 of cash consideration to purchase 1,287,640 shares of Family Benefit Life Common Stock from shareholders that is offset by $9,103,505 of cash acquired with the Family Benefit Life net assets).

Net cash provided by financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $18,200,368 and $7,493,318, respectively. The 2011 increase in cash of $10,707,050 provided by financing activities resulted from a net increase in policy deposits of $8,591,326 for the year ended December 31, 2011 and a net increase of $2,115,724 in the net proceeds from the public stock offering.

Shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2011 was $28,398,113 compared to $16,655,947 as of December 31, 2010. The increase of $11,742,166 is due primarily to the net income in 2011 of $7,359,993 and the net proceeds of $4,991,319 from the public stock offering that commenced on June 29, 2010 less a $609,146 decrease in the unrealized appreciation of available-for-sale securities. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the public stock offering generated proceeds of $5,908,890 less $917,571 of offering costs.

Equity per common share outstanding and subscribed increased 51.7% to $3.67 as of December 31, 2011 compared to $2.42 per share at December 31, 2010, based upon 7,733,186 common shares outstanding and subscribed as of December 31, 2011 and 6,894,275 outstanding common shares as of December 31, 2010. These common shares outstanding and subscribed reflect the retrospective adjustment for the impact of the 2011 and 2012 5% stock dividends declared by the Company on January 10, 2011 and paid to holders of shares of the Company as of March 10, 2011 and declared by the Company on January 11, 2012 and payable to holders of shares on the Company as of March 10, 2012.

The liquidity requirements of our life insurance company 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 2011 or 2010. 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 recovered from the disruptions in the capital markets and had unrealized appreciation on available-for-sale securities of $3,071,056 and $3,621,646 as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, prior to the impact of income taxes and deferred acquisition cost adjustments. This $550,590 decrease in unrealized gain for the year ended December 31, 2011 is offset by the net realized investment gain of $606,935 due to the sale and call activity for available-for-sale fixed maturity securities during 2011.

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 the 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 Family Benefit Life’s annuity business is subject to variable interest rates. The life insurance company's life insurance 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 December 31, 2011, cash 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 28.4% 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 Family Benefit Life 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 Family Benefit Life met during 2011 and 2010, the SVL also requires the Company to perform annual cash flow testing for TLIC and Family Benefit Life. 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. We will service other expenses and commitments by: (1) using available cash, (2) dividends from TLIC and Family Benefit Life that are limited by law to the lesser of prior year net operating income or 10% of prior year-end surplus unless specifically approved by the controlling insurance department, (3) dividends from FTCC and (4) corporate borrowings, if necessary.

We will use the majority of our capital provided from the public stock offerings to expand life insurance operations and acquire life insurance companies. The operations of TLIC 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.

On March 12, 2009, we entered into a senior revolving loan with a bank to loan up to $3,000,000 to provide working capital and funds for expansion. The loan was renewed on April 30, 2009 and modified to increase the revolving loan amount to $3,600,000. The loan agreement terminated on May 31, 2010 and was not renewed at our election. On July 21, 2009, FTCC borrowed $100,000 under the loan agreement and repaid $99,999 on November 4, 2009. The remaining $1 was repaid on May 31, 2010.

The offering was extended on June 28, 2011 and will end on June 28, 2012 unless all the Company’s shares are sold before then. As of December 31, 2011, the Company has received gross proceeds of $9,271,215 from the subscription of 1,236,162 shares of its common stock in this offering and incurred $1,404,300 in offering costs. The proceeds were originally deposited in an escrow account that was released from escrow by the Oklahoma Department of Securities in August 2010 after the offering exceeded $1,000,000 in gross proceeds. Those proceeds were made available to the Company in August 2010. Proceeds from the sale of shares of the Company’s common stock in this public offering after August 2010 were available to the Company without being held in escrow.

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 December 31, 2011 will be sufficient to fund our anticipated operating expenses.

Loans outstanding from premium financing declined during 2010 and have continued to decline during 2011 as we have decreased production of premium financing contracts. The growth of the premium finance subsidiary is uncertain and may require additional capital. The premium financing operations have steadily decreased during the past two years. Premium financing loan operations is now based on the production of loan agreements with Oklahoma agents. We are only writing business in Louisiana and Mississippi with profitable agencies and currently have no production in Alabama and Arkansas. The Company is closely evaluating premium financing loan operations to determine if it can continue based almost entirely on Oklahoma production.

Funds will not be available to continue the expansion of the Company’s subsidiaries without borrowing funds or raising additional capital. As introduced above, we have begun a public offering to generate additional funding. We intend to use the proceeds to finance future acquisitions of life insurance companies or blocks of life insurance business, provide up to $3.0 million of capital and/or surplus to TLIC as needed to maintain adequate capital and increase working capital. We have based this estimate upon assumptions that may prove to be wrong and we could use our capital resources sooner than we currently expect.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Forward Looking Information

We caution readers regarding certain forward-looking statements contained in this report and in any other statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company, whether or not in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements are statements not based on historical information and which relate to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. Statements using verbs such as "expect", "anticipate", "believe" or words of similar import generally involve forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, forward-looking statements include statements which represent our beliefs concerning future levels of sales and redemptions of our products, investment spreads and yields or the earnings and profitability of our activities.

Forward-looking statements are necessarily based on estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and many of which are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company. Whether or not actual results differ materially from forward-looking statements may depend on numerous foreseeable and unforeseeable factors and developments. Some of these may be national in scope, such as general economic conditions, changes in tax laws and changes in interest rates. Some may be related to the insurance industry generally, such as pricing competition, regulatory developments, industry consolidation and the effects of competition in the insurance business from other insurance companies and other financial institutions operating in our market area and elsewhere. Others may relate to the Company specifically, such as credit, volatility and other risks associated with our investment portfolio. We caution that such factors are not exclusive. We disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking information.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and

Shareholders of First Trinity Financial Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of First Trinity Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of First Trinity Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

First Trinity Financial Corporation (the “Company”) is the parent holding company of Trinity Life Insurance Company, Family Benefit Life Insurance Company, First Trinity Capital Corporation and Southern Insurance Services, LLC. The Company was incorporated in Oklahoma on April 19, 2004, for the primary purpose of organizing a life insurance subsidiary. The Company raised $1,450,000 from two private placement stock offerings during 2004. On June 22, 2005, the Company’s intrastate public stock offering filed with the Oklahoma Department of Securities for $12,750,000, which included a 10% "over-sale" provision (additional sales of $1,275,000), was declared effective. The offering was completed February 23, 2007. The Company raised $14,025,000 from this offering.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

TLIC acquired 100% ownership of Family Benefit Life from its shareholders for $13,855,129 paid in cash. The fair value of the net assets acquired in this transaction was $20,770,608. Since the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeded purchase price for acquiring those net assets by $6,915,479, the residual was recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as a component of revenues captioned as “Gain from acquisition of Family Benefit Life” per the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board Codification Topic 805 “Business Combinations.” The reason for the gain from the acquisition of Family Benefit Life related primarily to that company’s management not being committed to rebuild the marketing force of that company in the current economic environment.

FTCC was incorporated in 2006, and began operations in January 2007 providing financing for casualty insurance premiums. FTCC provides financing for casualty insurance premiums for individuals and companies and is licensed to conduct premium financing business in the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Oklahoma. The Company also owns 100% of Southern Insurance Services, LLC, (“SIS”), a limited liability company acquired in 2010, that operated as a property and casualty insurance agency but currently has no operations.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").

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 financial statements to conform to current year 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.

Investments

Fixed maturity securities are comprised of bonds that are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of applicable income taxes, reported in accumulated other comprehensive income. The amortized cost of fixed maturity securities available-for-sale is adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount to maturity.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Interest income, as well as the related amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is included in net investment income under the effective yield method. The amortized cost of fixed maturity securities available-for-sale is written down to fair value when a decline in value is considered to be other-than-temporary.

Equity securities available-for-sale are comprised of common stock and are carried at fair value. The associated unrealized gains and losses, net of applicable income taxes, are included in accumulated other comprehensive income. The cost of equity securities available-for-sale is written down to fair value when a decline in value is considered to be other-than-temporary. Dividends from these investments are recognized in net investment income when declared.

The Company evaluates the difference between the cost/amortized cost and estimated fair value of its investments to determine whether any decline in value is other-than-temporary in nature. This determination involves a degree of uncertainty. If a decline in the fair value of a security is determined to be temporary, the decline is recorded as an unrealized loss in stockholders' equity. If a decline in a security's fair value is considered to be other-than-temporary, the Company then determines the proper treatment for the other-than-temporary impairment. For fixed maturity securities available-for-sale, the amount of any other-than-temporary impairment related to a credit loss is recognized in earnings and reflected as a reduction in the cost basis of the security; and the amount of any other-than-temporary impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) with no change to the cost basis of the security. For equity securities available-for-sale, the amount of any other-than-temporary impairment is recognized in earnings and reflected as a reduction in the cost basis of the security.

The assessment of whether a decline in fair value is considered temporary or other-than-temporary includes management's judgment as to the financial position and future prospects of the entity issuing the security. It is not possible to accurately predict when it may be determined that a specific security will become impaired. Future adverse changes in market conditions, poor operating results of underlying investments and defaults on mortgage loan payments could result in losses or an inability to recover the current carrying value of the investments, thereby possibly requiring an impairment charge in the future.

Likewise, if a change occurs in the Company’s intent to sell temporarily impaired securities prior to maturity or recovery in value, or if it becomes more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell such securities prior to recovery in value or maturity, a future impairment charge could result.

If an other-than-temporary impairment related to a credit loss occurs with respect to a bond, the Company amortizes the reduced book value back to the security's expected recovery value over the remaining term of the bond. The Company continues to review the security for further impairment that would prompt another write-down in the value.

Mortgage loans are carried at unpaid balances, net of unamortized premium or discounts. Interest income and the amortization of premiums or discounts are included in net investment income.

Investment real estate is carried at amortized cost. Depreciation on the office building is calculated over its estimated useful life of 19 years. On January 1, 2011, the useful life of the building was changed from 39 years to 19 years.

Policy loans are carried at unpaid principal balances. Interest income on policy loans is recognized in net investment income at the contract interest rate when earned.

Other long term investments are comprised of lottery prize receivables and are carried at amortized cost, net of unamortized premium or discount. Interest income and the accretion of discount are included in net investment income.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Certificates of Deposit

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks and money market instruments.

Certificates of deposit are carried at cost. The Company limits its investment in certificates of deposit to accounts that are federally insured. The Company had no certificates of deposit as of December 31, 2011.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are recognized in operations on the specific identification basis. Interest and dividends earned on investments are included in net investment income.

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs

Commissions and other acquisition costs which vary with and are primarily related to the successful production of new business are deferred and amortized in a systematic manner based on the related contract revenues or gross profits as appropriate. Recoverability of deferred acquisition costs is evaluated periodically by comparing the current estimate of the present value of expected pretax future profits to the unamortized asset balance. If this current estimate is less than the existing balance, the difference is charged to expense.

Deferred acquisition costs for traditional life insurance contracts are deferred to the extent deemed recoverable and amortized over the premium paying period of the related policies using assumptions consistent with those used in computing future policy benefit liabilities.

Deferred acquisition costs related to insurance and annuity products that subject the Company 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 deferred to the extent deemed recoverable and amortized in relation to the present value of actual and expected gross profits on the policies. To the extent that realized gains and losses on fixed income securities result in adjustments to deferred acquisition costs related to insurance and annuity products, such adjustments are reflected as a component of the amortization of deferred acquisition costs.

Deferred acquisition costs related to limited-payment long-duration insurance and annuity contracts are also adjusted, net of tax, for the change in amortization that would have been recorded if the unrealized gains (losses) from available-for-sale securities had actually been realized. This adjustment is included in the change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on available-for-sale securities, a component of “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” in the shareholders’ equity section of the statement of financial position

The allowance for possible loan losses from financing casualty insurance premiums is a reserve established through a provision for possible loan losses charged to expense which represents, in management’s judgment, the known and inherent credit losses existing in the loan portfolio. The allowance, in the judgment of management, is necessary to reserve for estimated loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio and reduces the carrying value of the loans from premium financing to the estimated net realizable value on the statement of financial position.

While management 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 Company’s loan portfolio, the economy and changes in interest rates. The Company’s allowance for possible 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.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

A loan is 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 loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.

Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the 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.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are carried at amortized cost. Office furniture and equipment is recorded at cost or fair value at acquisition less accumulated depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the respective assets of 3 to 7 years. Leasehold improvements are recorded at cost and amortized over the remaining non cancelable lease term.

Reinsurance

The Company cedes reinsurance under various agreements allowing management to control exposure to potential losses arising from large risks and providing additional capacity for growth. Estimated reinsurance recoverable balances are reported as assets and are recognized in a manner consistent with the liabilities related to the underlying reinsured contracts.

Value of Insurance Business Acquired

As a result of the Company’s purchase of FLAC and Family Benefit Life, an asset was recorded in the application of purchase accounting to recognize the value of acquired insurance in force. The Company’s value of acquired insurance in force is an intangible asset with a definite life and is amortized under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance. The value of acquired insurance in force is amortized primarily over the emerging profit of the related policies using the same assumptions that were used in computing liabilities for future policy benefits.

For the amortization of the value of acquired insurance in force, the Company periodically reviews its estimates of gross profits. The most significant assumptions involved in the estimation of gross profits include interest rate spreads, future financial market performance, business surrender/lapse rates, mortality and morbidity, expenses and the impact of realized investment gains and losses. In the event actual experience differs significantly from assumptions or assumptions are significantly revised, the Company is required to record a charge or credit to amortization expense for the period in which an adjustment is made.

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010 there was $827,409 and $604,958, respectively, of accumulated amortization of the value of insurance business acquired due to the purchase of FLAC that occurred at the end of 2008. The Company expects to amortize the value of insurance business acquired by the following amounts over the next five years: $463,663 in 2012, $445,656 in 2013, $429,468 in 2014, $412,077 in 2015 and $395,047 in 2016. As of December 31, 2011, there was no amortization of the value of insurance business acquired due to the purchase of Family Benefit Life that occurred at the end of 2011.

Other Assets and Other Liabilities

Other assets consist primarily of prepaid expenses, recoverable federal and state income taxes, notes receivable and customer account balances receivable. Other liabilities consist primarily of accrued expenses, account payables, deposits on pending policy applications and unearned investment income.

Policyholders’ Account Balances

The Company’s liability for policyholders’ account balances represents the contract value that has accrued to the benefit of the policyholder as of the financial statement date. This liability is generally equal to the accumulated account deposits plus interest credited less policyholders’ withdrawals and other charges assessed against the account balance. Interest crediting rates for individual annuities range from 3.75% to 6.75%. Interest crediting rates for premium deposit funds range from 3% to 4%.

Future Policy Benefits

The Company’s liability for future policy benefits is primarily comprised of the present value of estimated future payments to or on behalf of policyholders, where the timing and amount of payment depends on policyholder mortality or morbidity, less the present value of future net premiums. For life insurance and annuity products, expected mortality and morbidity is generally based on the Company’s historical experience or standard industry tables including a provision for the risk of adverse deviation. Interest rate assumptions are based on factors such as market conditions and expected investment returns. Although mortality, morbidity and interest rate assumptions are “locked-in” upon the issuance of new insurance with fixed and guaranteed terms, significant changes in experience or assumptions may require the Company to provide for expected future losses on a product by establishing premium deficiency reserves.

Policy Claims

Policy claim liabilities represent the estimated liabilities for claims reported plus estimated incurred but not yet reported claims developed from trends of historical market data applied to current exposure.

Federal Income Taxes

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes are provided for cumulative temporary differences between balances of assets and liabilities determined under GAAP and balances determined using tax bases. A valuation allowance is established for the amount of the deferred tax asset that exceeds the amount of the estimated future taxable income needed to utilize the future tax benefits.

Common Stock

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

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

FASB guidance requires the inclusion of unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities, net of tax, as a component of other comprehensive income. Unrealized gains and losses recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income that are later recognized in net income through a reclassification adjustment are identified on the specific identification method.

In addition, deferred acquisition costs related to limited-payment long-duration insurance and annuity contracts are also adjusted, net of tax, for the change in amortization that would have been recorded if the unrealized gains (losses) from available-for-sale securities had actually been realized. This adjustment is included in the change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on available-for-sale securities, a component of “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” in the shareholders’ equity section of the statement of financial position.

Revenues and Expenses

Revenues on traditional life insurance products consist of direct premiums reported as earned when due. Liabilities for future policy benefits are provided and acquisition costs are amortized in a systematic manner based on the related contract revenues or gross profits as appropriate. Acquisition costs for traditional life insurance contracts are deferred to the extent deemed recoverable and are amortized over the premium paying period of the related policies using assumptions consistent with those used in computing future policy benefit liabilities. Traditional life insurance products are treated as long-duration contracts since they are ordinary whole life insurance products, which generally remain in force for the lifetime of the insured.

Deferred acquisition costs related to insurance and annuity products that subject the Company 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 are deferred to the extent deemed recoverable and amortized in relation to the present value of actual and expected gross profits on the policies. These insurance and annuity contracts are treated as long-duration insurance contracts since the Company is subject to risk from policyholder mortality and morbidity over an extended period.

Income from premium financing includes cancellation and late fees.
