Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Nature of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes include the accounts of the consolidated entity (the Company), which primarily consists of three life insurance companies. Kansas City Life Insurance Company (Kansas City Life) is the parent company. Sunset Life Insurance Company of America (Sunset Life) and Old American Insurance Company (Old American) are wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company also has several non-insurance subsidiaries that individually and collectively are not material.

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial reporting, along with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulations S-K, S-X, and other applicable regulations. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. As such, these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2014 Form 10-K, as amended. Management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, and all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position and the results of operations for all periods presented have been made. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the Company's operating results for a full year. Significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation and certain immaterial reclassifications have been made to prior period results to conform with the current period's presentation.

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

Significant Accounting Policies

2. New Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Pronouncements Issued, Not Yet Adopted

In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance regarding accounting for revenue recognition that identifies the accounting treatment for an entity’s contracts with customers. Certain contracts, including insurance contracts, are specifically excluded from this guidance. However, certain other types of contracts may impact the financial statements of insurance providers. ~~This~~In ~~guidance~~August is2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of this guidance for public entities ~~for~~to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, ~~2016~~2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance.

In August 2014, the FASB issued guidance that requires management to evaluate whether there are concerns or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. Disclosures are required when certain criteria are met. This guidance is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance, but it does not believe that there will be a material impact to the consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued guidance regarding the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. Under this guidance, previous consolidation conclusions may change and additional disclosures may be required. This guidance is effective for public entities for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance, but it does not believe that there will be a material impact to the consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance regarding a customer's accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement and whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, a customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, a customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The new guidance does not change the accounting for a customer's accounting for service contracts. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance, but it does not believe that there will be a material impact to the consolidated financial statements.

In May 2015, the FASB issued guidance targeted to improve disclosures related to short-duration contracts. Additional disclosures will be required about insurance liabilities to provide information regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of future cash flows related to insurance liabilities and the effect of those cash flows on the statement of comprehensive income. This guidance is effective for public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance.

cash flows related to insurance liabilities and the effect of those cash flows on the statement of comprehensive income. This guidance is effective for public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance, but it does not believe that there will be a material impact to the consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued guidance regarding employee benefit accounting. The guidance is divided into three parts. First, the guidance requires a pension plan to use contract value as the only required measure for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts. Second, the guidance simplifies and increases the effectiveness of the investment disclosure requirements for employee benefit plans. Third, the guidance provides benefit plans with a measurement date practical expedient. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance, but it does not believe that there will be a material impact to the consolidated financial statements.

All other new accounting standards and updates of existing standards issued through the date of this filing were considered by management and did not relate to accounting policies and procedures pertinent to the Company at this time or were not expected to have a material impact to the consolidated financial statements.

3. Prior Year Adoption of Accounting Principle

On December 31, 2014, the Company retrospectively adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-01, Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects. Under ASU No. 2014-01, the Company elected to use the proportional amortization method, which requires an entity to amortize the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits received and to recognize the net investment performance in the income statement as a component of income tax expense (benefit). As a result of the retrospective adoption, results previously reported in the Company's ~~June~~September 30, 2014 10-Q have been adjusted as follows. Income tax expense decreased $0.2 million, net income increased $0.2 million, and net income per share increased $0.0102 for the quarter ended ~~June~~September 30, 2014. Income tax expense decreased $0.35 million, net income increased $0.35 million, and net income per share increased $0.0305 for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2014. The adoption did not impact net cash provided by operating activities for the quarter or ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2014.

Unrealized Losses on Investments

At the end of each quarter, all securities are reviewed to determine whether impairments exist and whether other-than-temporary impairments should be recorded. This quarterly process includes an assessment of the credit quality of each investment in the entire securities portfolio. Additional reporting and review procedures are conducted for those securities where fair value is less than 90% of amortized cost. The Company prepares a formal review document no less often than quarterly of all investments where fair value is less than 80% of amortized cost for six months or more and selected investments that have changed significantly from a previous period and that have a decline in fair value greater than 10% of amortized cost. For additional information on the Company's process and considerations, as well as related accounting when other-than-temporary impairments are identified, please refer to Note 4 - Investments of the Company's 2014 Form 10-K, as amended.

The Company does not consider these unrealized losses to be credit-related. The unrealized losses at ~~June~~September 30, 2015 primarily relate to changes in interest rates and market spreads subsequent to purchase. A substantial portion of investment securities that have unrealized losses are either corporate debt issued with investment grade credit ratings or other investment securities. Other investment securities include residential mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, and asset-backed securities. The discounted future cash flow calculation typically becomes the primary determinant of whether any portion and to what extent an unrealized loss is due to credit on loan-backed and similar asset-backed securities with significant indications of potential other-than-temporary impairment. Such indications typically include below investment grade ratings and significant unrealized losses for an extended period of time, among other factors. The Company identified 21 and 22 non-U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities that were determined to have such indications at ~~both June~~September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. A discounted future cash flow analysis was performed for each of these securities to determine if any portion of the impairment was due to credit and deemed to be other-than-temporary. This amount is recognized as a realized loss in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and the carrying value of the security is written down by the same amount. The portion of an impairment that is determined not to be due to credit is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The discount rate used in calculating the present value of future cash flows was the investment yield at the time of purchase for each security. The initial default rates were assumed to remain constant or grade down over time, reflecting the Company's estimate of stabilized collateral performance in the future for such securities.

Significant unrealized losses on securities can continue for extended periods of time, particularly for certain individual securities. While this can be an indication of potential credit impairments, it can also be an indication of illiquidity in a particular sector or security. In addition, the fair value of an individual security can be heavily influenced by the complexities of varying market sentiment or uncertainty regarding the prospects for an individual security. Based upon the process described above, the Company is best able to determine if and to what extent credit impairment may exist in these securities by performing present value calculations of projected future cash flows at the conclusion of each reporting period. By reviewing the most recent data available regarding the security and other relevant industry and market factors, the Company can modify assumptions used in the cash flow projections and determine the best estimate of the portion of any impairment that is due to credit at the conclusion of each period.

The Company closely monitors its investments in securities classified as subprime. Less than 1% of the Company's total investments were in these types of investments at ~~June~~September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

The Company also monitors structured securities through a combination of an analysis of vintage, credit ratings, and other factors. Structured securities include asset-backed, residential mortgage-backed securities, along with collateralized debt obligations, and other collateralized obligations.

Mortgage Loans

The Company invests in commercial mortgage loans that are secured by commercial real estate and are stated at cost, adjusted for amortization of premium and accrual of discount, less an allowance for loan losses. This allowance is maintained at a level believed by management to be adequate to absorb estimated credit losses and was $2.0 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2015 and $1.9 million at December 31, 2014. The Company had 1516% of its total investments in commercial mortgage loans at ~~both June~~September 30, 2015, ~~and~~which is an increase from 15% at December 31, 2014. In addition to the subject collateral underlying the mortgage, the Company typically requires some amount of recourse from borrowers as another potential source of repayment. The recourse requirement is determined as part of the underwriting requirements of each loan. The average loan to value ratio for the overall portfolio was 4647% at ~~both June~~September 30, 2015 and 46% at December 31, 2014. These ratios are based upon the current balance of loans relative to the appraisal of value at the time the loan was originated or acquired.

In the normal course of business, the Company generally commits to fund commercial mortgage loans up to 120 days in advance. These commitments typically have fixed expiration dates. A small percentage of commitments expire due to the borrower's failure to deliver the requirements of the commitment by the expiration date. In these cases, the Company retains the commitment fee. For additional information, please see Note 16 - Commitments.

5. Fair Value Measurements

Under GAAP, fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It is the Company’s practice to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value measurements.

The Company categorizes its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in three levels, based on the inputs and assumptions used to determine the fair value. These levels are as follows:

Level 1 - Valuations are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

Level 2 - Valuations are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market. Valuations are obtained from third-party pricing services or inputs that are observable or derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 - Valuations are generated from techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect the Company's assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include the use of discounted cash flow models, spread-based models, and similar techniques, using the best information available in the circumstances.

Following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value and for estimating fair value for financial instruments not recorded at fair value but for which fair value is disclosed.

Assets

Securities Available for Sale

Fixed maturity and equity securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon unadjusted quoted prices, if available, except as described in the subsequent paragraphs.

Cash and Short-Term Investments

Cash and short-term investments include cash and highly-liquid investments in institutional money market funds. The carrying value of cash and short-term investments approximates the fair value and are categorized as Level 1. Fair value is provided for disclosure purposes only.

Loans

The Company does not record loans at fair value. As such, valuation techniques discussed herein for loans are primarily for estimating fair value for purpose of disclosure.

Fair values of mortgage loans on real estate properties are calculated by discounting contractual cash flows, using discount rates based on current industry pricing or the Company’s estimate of an appropriate risk-adjusted discount rate for loans of similar size, type, remaining maturity, likelihood of prepayment, and repricing characteristics. Mortgage loans are categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

The Company also has loans made to policyholders. These loans cannot exceed the cash surrender value of the policy. Carrying value of policy loans approximates fair value. Policy loans are categorized as Level 3.

Separate Accounts

The separate account assets and liabilities, which are equal, are recorded at fair value based upon net asset value (NAV) of the underlying investment holdings as derived from closing prices on a national exchange or as provided by the issuer. This is the value at which a policyholder could transact with the issuer on the date. Separate accounts are categorized as Level 2.

Liabilities

Investment-Type Liabilities Included in Policyholder Account Balances and Other Policyholder Funds

The fair values of supplementary contracts and annuities without life contingencies are estimated to be the present value of payments at a market yield. The fair values of deposits with no stated maturity are estimated to be the amount payable on demand at the measurement date. These liabilities are categorized as Level 3. The Company has not estimated the fair value of the liabilities under contracts that involve significant mortality or morbidity risks, as these liabilities fall within the definition of insurance contracts. Insurance contracts are excluded from financial instruments that require disclosures of fair value.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements–(Continued) (Unaudited)

Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefits (GMWB) Included in Other Policyholder Funds

The Company offers a GMWB rider that can be added to new or existing variable annuity contracts. The rider provides an enhanced withdrawal benefit that guarantees a stream of payments to an owner or annuitant, regardless of the contract account value. Fair value for GMWB rider contracts is a Level 3 valuation, as it is based on models which utilize significant unobservable inputs. These models require actuarial and financial market assumptions, which reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the contract, including adjustments for volatility, risk, and issuer non-performance.

Determination of Fair Value

The Company utilizes external third-party pricing services to determine the majority of its fair values on investment securities available for sale. At ~~June~~September 30, 2015, approximately 98% of the carrying value of these investments was from external pricing services, 1% was from brokers, and 1% was derived from internal matrices and calculations. At December 31, 2014, approximately 97% of the carrying value of these investments was from external pricing services, 1% was from brokers, and 2% was derived from internal matrices and calculations. In the event that the primary pricing service does not provide a price, the Company utilizes the price provided by a second pricing service. The Company reviews prices received from service providers for reasonableness and unusual fluctuations but generally accepts the price identified from the primary pricing service. In the event a price is not available from either third-party pricing service, the Company pursues external pricing from brokers. Generally, the Company pursues and utilizes only one broker quote per security. In doing so, the Company solicits only brokers which have previously demonstrated knowledge and experience of the subject security. If a broker price is not available, the Company determines a fair value through various valuation techniques that may include discounted cash flows, spread-based models, or similar techniques, depending upon the specific security to be priced. These techniques are primarily applied to private placement securities. The Company utilizes available market information, wherever possible, to identify inputs into the fair value determination, primarily prices and spreads on comparable securities.

Each quarter, the Company evaluates the prices received from third-party security pricing services and independent brokers to ensure that the prices represent a reasonable estimate of the fair value within the macro-economic environment, sector factors, and overall pricing trends and expectations. The Company corroborates and validates the primary pricing sources through a variety of procedures that include but are not limited to comparison to additional third-party pricing services or brokers, where possible; back testing; in-depth specific analytics on randomly selected issues; and comparison of prices to actual trades for specific securities where observable data exists. In addition, the Company analyzes the primary third-party pricing service's methodologies and related inputs and also evaluates the various types of securities in its investment portfolio to determine an appropriate fair value hierarchy. Finally, the Company also performs additional evaluations when individual prices fall outside tolerance levels when comparing prices received from third-party pricing services.

Fair value measurements for assets and liabilities where there exists limited or no observable market data are calculated using the Company’s own estimates and are categorized as Level 3. These estimates are based on current interest rates, credit spreads, liquidity premium or discount, the economic and competitive environment, unique characteristics of the asset or liability, and other pertinent factors. Therefore, these estimates cannot be determined with precision and may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability. Additionally, there may be inherent weaknesses in any valuation technique. Further, changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows, could significantly affect the results of current or future values.

The Company’s own estimates of fair value of fixed maturity and equity securities may be derived in a number of ways, including but not limited to: 1) pricing provided by brokers, where the price indicates reliability as to value; 2) fair values of comparable securities, incorporating a spread adjustment for maturity differences, collateralization, credit quality, liquidity, and other items, if applicable; 3) discounted cash flow models and margin spreads; 4) bond yield curves; 5) observable market prices and exchange transaction information not provided by external pricing services; and 6) statement values provided to the Company by fund managers.

The fair value of the GMWB embedded derivative is calculated using a discounted cash flow valuation model that projects future cash flows under multiple risk neutral stochastic equity scenarios. The risk neutral scenarios are generated using the current swap curve and projected equity volatilities and correlations. The equity correlations are based on historical price observations. For policyholder behavior assumptions, expected lapse and utilization assumptions are used and updated for actual experience. The mortality assumption uses the 2000 US Annuity Basic Mortality Table. The present value of cash flows is determined using the discount rate curve, based upon London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a credit spread. The fair value of the GMWB embedded derivative was not material during the first nine months of 2015 or 2014.

The following table presents the valuation method for material financial instruments included in Level 3, as well as the unobservable inputs used in the valuation of those financial instruments at ~~June~~September 30, 2015.

	Fair Value			Valuation Technique	Unobservable Inputs	Range
Embedded Derivative - GMWB	$	(1,094	)	Actuarial cash flow model	Mortality	80% of US Annuity Basic Table (2000)
					Lapse	0%-16% depending on product/duration/funded status of guarantee
					Benefit Utilization	0%-80% depending on age/duration/funded status of guarantee
					Nonperformance Risk	0.73%-1.35%

The GMWB liability is sensitive to changes in observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs include risk-free rates, index returns, volatilities, and correlations. Increases in risk-free rates and equity returns reduce the liability, while increases in volatilities increase the liability. The Company's mortality, lapse, benefit utilization and nonperformance risk adjustment are unobservable. Increases in mortality, lapses and credit spreads used for nonperformance risk reduce the liability, while increases in benefit utilization increase the liability.

The Company estimates that the impact of unobservable inputs at ~~June~~September 30, 2015 is as follows: a 10% increase in the mortality assumption would reduce the liability ~~less than~~ $0.1 million; a 10% decrease in the lapse assumption would increase the liability less than $0.12 million; a 10% increase in the benefit utilization would increase the liability $0.68 million; and a 10 basis point increase in the credit spreads used for non-performance would decrease the liability $0.23 million.

The Company estimates that the impact of unobservable inputs at December 31, 2014 is as follows: a 10% increase in the mortality assumption would reduce the liability less than $0.1 million; a 10% decrease in the lapse assumption would increase the liability $0.3 million; a 10% increase in the benefit utilization would increase the liability $0.9 million; and a 10 basis point increase in the credit spreads used for non-performance would decrease the liability $0.4 million.

Agent Receivables

The Company has agent receivables that are classified as financing receivables and are reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts. These trade receivables from agents are long-term in nature and are specifically assessed as to the collectability of each receivable. The Company's gross agent receivables totaled $2.8 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2015 with an allowance for doubtful accounts totaling $1.1 million. Gross agent receivables totaled $3.7 million with an allowance for doubtful accounts of $2.0 million at December 31, 2014. The Company has two types of agent receivables including:

• Agent specific loans. At both ~~June~~September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, these loans totaled $1.0 million and the allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.3 million.

• Other agent receivables. Gross agent receivables in this category totaled $1.8 million, and the allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.8 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2015. Gross agent receivables in this category totaled $2.7 million, and the allowance for doubtful accounts was $1.7 million at December 31, 2014.

Mortgage Loans

The Company considers its mortgage loan portfolio to be long-term financing receivables. Mortgage loans are stated at cost, adjusted for amortization of premium and accrual of discount, less an allowance for loan losses. Mortgage loan interest income is recognized on an accrual basis with any premium or discount amortized over the life of the loan. Prepayment and late fees are recorded on the date of collection. Loans in foreclosure, loans considered impaired, or loans past due 90 days or more are placed on non-accrual status. Payments received on loans on non-accrual status for these reasons are applied first to interest income not collected while on non-accrual status, followed by fees, accrued and past-due interest, and principal.

If a mortgage loan is determined to be on non-accrual status, the Company does not accrue interest income into its financial statements. The loan is independently monitored and evaluated as to potential impairment or foreclosure. This evaluation includes assessing the probability of receiving future cash flows, along with consideration of many of the factors described below. If delinquent payments are made and the loan is brought current, then the Company returns the loan to active status and accrues income accordingly.

Generally, the Company considers its mortgage loans to be a portfolio segment. The Company considers its primary class to be property type. The Company primarily uses loan-to-value as its credit risk quality indicator but also monitors additional secondary risk factors, such as geographic distribution both on a regional and specific state basis. The mortgage loan portfolio segment is presented by property type in a table in Note 4 - Investments, as are geographic distributions by both region and state. These measures are also supplemented with various other analytics to provide additional information concerning potential impairment of mortgage loans and management's assessment of financing receivables.

The following tables present an aging schedule for delinquent payments for both principal and interest by property type.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements–(Continued) (Unaudited)

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2015, there was one mortgage loan that was over 30 days or more past due. Payment was subsequently received on this delinquent loan. As of December 31, 2014, there were no mortgage loans that were past due or were in the process of foreclosure.

Management's periodic evaluation and assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on known and inherent risks in the portfolio, historical and industry data, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors. The Company assesses the amount it maintains in the mortgage loan allowance through an assessment of what the Company believes are relevant factors at both the macro-environmental level and specific loan basis. A loan is considered impaired if it is probable that contractual amounts due will not be collected. For information regarding management's periodic evaluation and assessment of mortgage loans and the allowance for loan losses, please refer to Note 6 - Financing Receivables in the Company's 2014 Form 10-K, as amended.

7. Variable Interest Entities

The Company invests in certain affordable housing and real estate joint ventures which are considered to be variable interest entities (VIEs) and are included in Real Estate in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The assets held in affordable housing real estate joint venture VIEs are primarily residential real estate properties that are restricted to provide affordable housing under federal or state programs for varying periods of time. The restrictions primarily apply to the rents that may be paid by tenants residing in the properties during the term of an agreement to remain in the affordable housing program. Investments in affordable housing real estate joint ventures are equity interests in partnerships or limited liability companies that may or may not participate in profits or residual value. The Company's investments in these entities generate a return primarily through the realization of federal and state income tax credits and other tax benefits, such as tax deductions from operating losses of the investments, over specified time periods. The Company amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits received and recognizes the net investment performance in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income as a component of income tax expense. The tax credits are recognized as a reduction of tax expense. The Company realized federal income tax credits related to these investments of $0.7 million for the ~~second~~third quarters and $12.41 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended both ~~June~~September 30, 2015 and 2014. The Company also recognized $0.42 million and $0.24 million of amortization related to these investments for the ~~second~~third quarters and $01.~~8 million and $~~0.6 million for both the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2015 and 2014~~, respectively~~. The Company's investments in other real estate VIEs are recorded using the equity method. Cash distributions from the VIE and cash contributions to the VIE are recorded as decreases or increases, respectively, in the carrying value of the VIE. Certain other equity investments in VIEs, where permitted, are recorded on an amortized cost basis. The operating performance of investments in the VIE is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income as investment income or as a component of income tax expense, depending upon the nature and primary design of the investment. The Company evaluates the carrying value of VIEs for impairment on an ongoing basis to assess whether the carrying value is expected to be realized during the anticipated life of the investment. In certain cases, the Company may issue fixed-rate senior mortgage loan investments secured by properties controlled by VIEs. These investments are classified as mortgage loans in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the income received from such investments is recorded as investment income in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

Investments in the affordable housing and real estate joint ventures are interests that will absorb portions of the VIE's expected losses or receive portions of expected residual returns of the VIE's net assets exclusive of variable interests. The Company makes an ~~initial~~ assessment of whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE at the time of the initial investment and on an ongoing basis thereafter. The Company considers many factors when making this determination based upon a review of the underlying investment agreement and other information related to the specific investment. The first factor is whether the Company has the ability to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance. The power to direct the activities of the VIE is generally vested in the managing general partner or managing member of the VIE, which is not the position held by the Company in these investments. Other factors include the entity's equity investment at risk, decision-making abilities, obligations to absorb economic risks, the right to receive economic rewards of the entity, and the extent to which the Company shares in the VIE's expected losses and residual returns.

The maximum exposure to loss relating to the real estate joint ventures and affordable housing real estate joint ventures, as shown in the table above, is equal to the carrying amounts plus any unfunded equity commitments, exposure to potential recapture of tax credits, guarantees of debt, or other obligations of the VIE with recourse to the Company. Unfunded equity and loan commitments typically require financial or operating performance by other parties and have not yet become due or payable but which may become due in the future.

At ~~June~~September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had no mortgage loan or equity commitments outstanding to the real estate joint venture VIEs. The Company has contingent commitments to fund additional equity contributions for operating support to certain real estate joint venture VIEs, which could result in additional exposure to loss. However, the Company is not able to quantify the amount of these contingent commitments.

In addition, the maximum exposure to loss on affordable housing joint ventures at ~~June~~September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 included $2829.89 million and $27.7 million, respectively, of losses which could be realized if the tax credits received by the VIEs were recaptured. Recapture events would cause the Company to reverse some or all of the benefit previously recognized by the Company or third parties to whom the tax credit interests were transferred. A recapture event can occur at any time during a 15-year required compliance period. The principal causes of recapture include financial default and non-compliance with affordable housing program requirements by the properties controlled by the VIE. The potential exposure due to recapture may be mitigated by guarantees from the managing member or managing partner in the VIE, insurance contracts, or changes in the residual value accruing to the Company's interests in the VIEs.

8. Separate Accounts

Separate account assets and liabilities arise from the sale of variable universal life insurance and variable annuity products. The separate account represents funds segregated for the benefit of certain policyholders who bear the investment risk. The assets are legally segregated and are not subject to claims which may arise from any other business of the Company. The separate account assets and liabilities, which are equal, are recorded at fair value based upon NAV of the underlying investment holdings as derived from closing prices on a national exchange or as provided by the issuer. Policyholder account deposits and withdrawals, investment income, and realized investment gains and losses are excluded from the amounts reported in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Revenues to the Company from separate accounts consist principally of contract charges, which include maintenance charges, administrative fees, and mortality and expense charges.

The Company has a guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit (GMWB) rider that can be added to new or existing variable annuity contracts. The value of the separate accounts with the GMWB rider is recorded at fair value of $~~126~~115.8 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2015 (December 31, 2014 - $132.3 million). The GMWB guarantee liability was $(42.67) million at ~~June~~September 30, 2015 (December 31, 2014 - $(1.1) million). The change in this value is included in policyholder benefits in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The value of variable annuity separate accounts with the GMWB rider is recorded in separate account liabilities, and the value of the rider is included in other policyholder funds in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company has two blocks of variable universal life policies and variable annuity contracts from which the Company receives fees. The fees are based upon both specific transactions and the fund value of the blocks of policies. The Company has a direct block of ongoing business identified in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as separate account assets, totaling $~~403~~364.46 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2015 and $406.5 million at December 31, 2014, and corresponding separate account liabilities of an equal amount. In addition, the Company has an assumed closed block of business that is recorded in the Company's financial statements in accordance with modified coinsurance accounting for variable insurance business. This block of separate account fund balances ~~totaled $312.7~~

totaled $279.6 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2015 and $318.1 million at December 31, 2014. The Company also records separate accounts invested in the general account for the direct block of business. In addition, in accordance with coinsurance reinsurance transaction accounting, the Company also records the assumed block of fixed accounts under its general account. The future policy benefits for the direct block approximated $0.5 million and $0.4 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The future policy benefits for the assumed block approximated $0.6 million at both ~~June~~September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

9. Notes Payable

The Company had no notes payable outstanding at ~~June~~September 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (FHLB) with a capital investment of $4.9 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2015, the Company has the ability to borrow on a collateralized basis from the FHLB. The Company received an insignificant amount of dividends on the capital investment in both the ~~second~~third quarters and ~~six~~nine months of 2015 and 2014.

The Company had unsecured revolving lines of credit of $70.0 million with two major commercial banks with no balances outstanding at ~~June~~September 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014. The lines of credit are at variable interest rates based upon short-term indices, and will mature in June of 2016. The Company anticipates renewing these lines of credit as they come due.

10. Income Taxes

12. Share-Based Payment

The Company has a long-term incentive plan for senior management that provides a cash award to participants for the increase in the share price of the Company's common stock through units (phantom shares) assigned by the Board of Directors. The cash award is calculated over a three-year interval on a calendar year basis. At the conclusion of each three-year interval, participants will receive a cash award based on the increase in the share price during a defined measurement period, multiplied by the number of units attributable to each participant. The increase in the share price is determined based on the change in the share price from the beginning to the end of the three-year interval. Amounts representing dividends are accrued and paid at the end of each three-year interval to the extent that they exceed negative stock price appreciation. Plan payments are contingent on the continued employment of the participant unless termination is due to a qualifying event such as death, disability, or retirement. In addition, all payments are lump sum with no deferrals allowed. The ~~Company~~plan does not make any ~~material~~ payments in shares, warrants, or options.

During the first ~~six~~nine months of both 2015 and 2014, the plan made cash payments totaling $3.8 million. No payments were made during the ~~second~~third quarters of 2015 or 2014.

At each reporting period, an estimate of the share-based compensation expense is accrued, utilizing the share price at the period end. The cost of share-based compensation accrued as an operating expense in the ~~second~~third quarters of 2015 and 2014 was ~~less than~~ $0.14 million and $0.46 million, net of tax, respectively. The ~~change~~cost inof ~~accrual for~~ share-based compensation ~~reduced~~accrued as an operating expense for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2015 inand ~~the~~September 30, ~~amount~~2014 ofwas $0.14 million~~.

13. Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) includes the unrealized investment gains or losses on securities available for sale (net of reclassifications for realized investment gains or losses) net of adjustments to deferred acquisition costs (DAC) and value of business acquired (VOBA), future policy benefits, and policyholder account balances (including deferred revenue liability). In addition, other comprehensive income (loss) includes the change in the liability for benefit plan obligations. Other comprehensive income (loss) reflects these items net of tax.

14. Earnings Per Share

Due to the Company’s capital structure and the absence of other potentially dilutive securities, there is no difference between basic and diluted earnings per common share for any of the periods reported. The average number of shares outstanding for the quarters ended ~~June~~September 30, 2015 and 2014 was 10,~~707~~615,~~363~~142 and 10,~~967~~941,~~910~~544, respectively.

16. Commitments

In the normal course of business, the Company has open purchase and sale commitments. At ~~June~~September 30, 2015, the Company had purchase commitments to fund mortgage loans and real estate of $3839.23 million and $5.3 million, respectively.

Subsequent to ~~June~~September 30, 2015 the Company entered into commitments to fund additional mortgage loans of $168.54 million.

17. Contingent Liabilities

The Company and its subsidiaries are, from time to time, involved in litigation, both as a defendant and as a plaintiff. The life insurance industry, including the Company and its insurance subsidiaries, has been subject to an increase in litigation in recent years. Such litigation has been pursued on behalf of purported classes of insurance purchasers, often questioning the conduct of insurers in the marketing of their products.

The Company's subsidiary broker-dealer/investment advisor has been involved in a business that involves a substantial risk of liability. Legal and other proceedings involving financial services firms, including the Company's subsidiary, continue to have a significant impact on the industry. Significant matters over the last few years have included registered representative activity and certain types of securities products (particularly private placements and real estate investment products).

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to regular reviews and inspections by state and federal regulatory authorities. State insurance examiners - or independent audit firms engaged by such examiners - may, from time to time, conduct examinations or investigations into industry practices and into customer complaints. A regulatory violation discovered during a review, inspection, or investigation could result in a wide range of remedies that could include the imposition of sanctions against the Company, its subsidiaries, or its employees, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

Certain policies, contracts, and annuities offered by the Company and certain products offered by its broker-dealer/investment advisor subsidiary are subject to regulation under federal and state securities laws. Federal securities laws contain regulatory restrictions and criminal, administrative, and private remedial provisions. From time to time, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), or a state securities regulator examine or investigate the activities of broker-dealers and/or investment advisors, including the Company's affiliated broker-dealer/ investment advisor subsidiary. It is possible that the results of any examination may lead to changes in systems or procedures, payments of fines and penalties, payments to customers, or a combination thereof, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

The life insurance industry has been the subject of significant regulatory and legal activities regarding the use of the U.S. Social Security Administration's Death Master File (“Death Master File”) in the claims process. The focus of the activity has related to the industry's compliance with state unclaimed property and escheatment laws. Certain states have proposed, and many other states are considering, new legislation and regulations related to unclaimed life insurance benefits and the use of the Death Master File in the claims process. It is possible that audits and/or the enactment of new state laws could result in identifying payments to beneficiaries more quickly than under the current legislative and regulatory standards established for life insurance claims or may provide for additional escheatment of funds deemed abandoned under state laws. The audits could also result in administrative penalties. Given the legal and regulatory uncertainty in this area, it is also possible that life insurers, including the Company, may be subject to claims concerning their business practices. Based on its analysis to date, the Company believes that it has sufficiently reviewed its existing business and has adequately reserved for contingencies from a change in statute or regulation. Additional costs that cannot be reasonably estimated as of the date of this filing are possible as a result of ongoing regulatory developments and other future requirements related to this matter. Any resulting additional payments or costs could be significant and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

In addition to the specific items above, the Company and its subsidiaries are defendants in, or subject to, other claims or legal actions related to insurance and investment products. Some of these claims and legal actions are in jurisdictions where juries are given substantial latitude in assessing damages, including punitive damages.

Although no assurances can be given and no determinations can be made at this time, management believes that the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to these regulatory matters, legal actions, and other claims would not have a material effect on the Company's business, results of operations, or financial position.

In accordance with applicable accounting guidelines, the Company establishes an accrued liability for litigation and regulatory matters when those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and estimable. As a litigation or regulatory matter develops, it is evaluated on an ongoing basis, often in conjunction with outside counsel, as to whether the matter presents a loss contingency that meets conditions indicating the need for accrual and/or disclosure. If and when a loss contingency related to litigation or regulatory matters is deemed to be both probable and estimable, the Company establishes an accrued liability. This accrued liability is then monitored for further developments that may affect the amount of the accrued liability.

While the Company makes every effort to appropriately accrue liability for litigation and other legal proceedings, the outcome of such matters (including any amount of settlement, judgment, or fine) is inherently difficult to predict. This difficulty arises from the need to gather all relevant facts (which may or may not be available) and to apply those facts to complex legal principles. Based on currently available information, the Company does not believe that any litigation, proceeding or other matter to which it is a party or otherwise involved will have a material adverse effect on its financial position, the results of its operations, or its cash flows. However, an adverse development or an increase in associated legal fees could be material in a particular period depending, in part, on the Company's operating results in that period.

18. Guarantees and Indemnifications

The Company is subject to various indemnification obligations issued in conjunction with certain transactions, primarily assumption reinsurance agreements, stock purchase agreements, mortgage servicing agreements, tax credit assignment agreements, construction and lease guarantees, and borrowing agreements whose terms range in duration and often are not explicitly defined. Generally, a maximum obligation is not explicitly stated. Therefore, the overall maximum amount of the obligation under the indemnifications cannot be reasonably estimated. The Company is unable to estimate with certainty the ultimate legal and financial liability with respect to these indemnifications. The Company believes that the likelihood is remote that material payments would be required under such indemnifications and therefore such indemnifications would not result in a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations.

Sales

The Company's marketing plan for individual products focuses on three main aspects: providing financial security with respect to life insurance, the accumulation of long-term value, and future retirement income needs. The primary emphasis is on the growth of individual life insurance business, including new premiums for individual life products and new deposits for universal life and variable universal life products. These deposits can be recurring in nature, as policyholders can choose to make regular deposits into these products. However, policyholders can also choose to make one-time deposits. Consumer preferences and customer choices are very hard to predict and significantly influence life and annuity insurance purchases. These changing preferences and choices can result in large fluctuations period to period. The Company attempts to provide a varied portfolio of products that support consumer needs and is constantly assessing new products and opportunities. The Company also offers a portfolio of group products.

Sales of the Company's products are primarily made through the Company's existing sales force. The Company emphasizes growth of the sales force with the addition of new general agents and agents. The Company believes that increased sales will result through both the number and productivity of general agents and agents. The Company also places an emphasis on training and direct support to the field force to assist new agents in their start-up phase. In addition, the Company provides support to existing agents to help them stay abreast of the ever-changing regulatory environment and to introduce agents to new products and enhanced features of existing products. The Company also selectively utilizes third-party marketing arrangements to enhance its sales objectives. This allows the Company the flexibility to identify niches or pursue unique opportunities in ~~the~~ existing markets and to react quickly to take advantage of opportunities when they occur.

The Company recognizes conversions of policies and contracts on interest sensitive products to traditional life and annuity products as new premiums at the time of conversion. Most notably, the Company has fixed deferred annuities that may convert to immediate annuities. Deferred annuity contracts typically provide for such conversions as one of several settlement options, and the volume of such contracts can vary based upon the individual needs and decisions of contract owners. In addition, the timing of these conversions can ~~often~~ result in large fluctuations period to period.

The Group Insurance segment primarily uses two marketing approaches. The first is to market business using Kansas City Life's internal sales representatives and an independent general agent and agent field force. This business is administered internally. The second is through selectively identified independent third-party arrangements that support this segment's marketing and product ~~portfolio. Generally, business sold through these arrangements is administered by the third parties or through specifically identified~~

portfolio. Generally, business sold through these arrangements is administered by the third parties or through specifically identified reinsurance arrangements.

The Old American segment focuses on the recruitment and development of new agencies and agents in assigned territories. The intent of these activities is to generate improved production from existing agencies and agents, including the expansion or opening of territories believed to offer additional growth opportunities. Further, this segment also focuses on servicing its policyholders and creating and maintaining products that are ~~created~~designed and priced to be competitive in the senior markets.

The following tables present gross premiums by new and renewal business, less reinsurance ceded. New premiums are also detailed by product.

Consolidated total premiums decreased $13.80 million or 35% in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2015 versus the prior year, as a $23.94 million decrease in total new premiums was partially offset by a $10.23 million increase in total renewal premiums. The decrease in new premiums largely resulted from a $1.2.8 million decrease in new ~~group~~immediate ~~accident~~annuity ~~and~~premiums. Immediate ~~health~~annuity receipts can have sizeable fluctuations, as receipts from policyholders largely result from one-time premiums rather than recurring premiums. In addition, ~~principally~~the inconversions from fixed deferred annuities are based upon the ~~dental~~individual ~~line,~~needs asand ~~well~~decisions asof acontract owners. Conversions from fixed deferred annuities totaled $12.56 million ~~decrease~~during the third quarter of 2015, down from $5.5 million in the third quarter of 2014. Excluding the conversions from fixed deferred annuities, new immediate annuity premiums were essentially flat in the third quarter of 2015 compared to the prior year. The increase in renewal premiums was largely due to a $0.75 million increase in renewal traditional life premiums, principally from the Old American segment.

The decrease in new premiums resulted from a $25.42 million decrease in new immediate annuity premiums and a $23.82 million decline in new group accident and health premiums, principally in the dental and disability lines. ~~The~~Conversions ~~increase in renewal premiums reflected a $1.3 million increase in traditional life renewal premiums, principally~~ from ~~the~~fixed ~~Old~~deferred ~~American~~annuities ~~segment.

$11.4 million during the first nine months of 2015, down from $14.4 million in the first nine months of 2014. Excluding the conversions from fixed deferred annuities, new immediate annuity premiums decreased $2.1 million in the first nine months of 2015 compared to the prior year. The increase in renewal premiums reflected a $1.8 million increase in traditional life renewal premiums, principally from the Old American segment. In addition, renewal premiums in the group life product line increased $0.8 million versus the prior year.

Total new deposits declined $72.82 million or 2810% in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2015 compared with the ~~second~~third quarter of 2014. This decline resulted from a $2.4.3 million or 46% decrease in new ~~fixed~~variable annuity deposits.

Based upon changes in financial conditions, alternative and competitive products, and consumer preferences, universal life and fixed annuity deposits can have sizeable fluctuations period-to-period.

Total new deposits declined $1214.35 million or 2520% in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2015 compared with the prior year. This decline resulted from a $512.26 million or 46% decrease in new ~~fixed~~variable annuity deposits and ana $8.3.6 million or 10% decrease in new ~~variable~~fixed annuity deposits. Partially offsetting these was a $12.61 million or 27% increase in new universal life deposits. Total renewal deposits decreased $36.52 million or 45% in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2015 compared with the prior year, as an increase in universal life renewal deposits was offset by a decrease in variable universal life and fixed annuity renewal deposits.

Insurance Revenues

Insurance revenues consist of premiums, net of reinsurance, and contract charges. Insurance revenues are affected by the level of new sales, the type of products sold, the persistency of policies, general economic conditions, and competitive forces.

Contract charges consist of cost of insurance, expense loads, amortization of unearned revenues, and surrender charges on policyholder account balances. Certain contract charges are not recognized in income immediately but are deferred and are amortized into income in proportion to the expected future gross profits of the business, in a manner similar to deferred acquisition costs (DAC). Profit expectations are based upon assumptions of future interest spreads, mortality margins, expense margins, and policy and premium persistency experience. At least annually, a review is performed of the assumptions related to profit ~~expectations. If it is determined the assumptions should be revised, the impact is recorded as a change in the revenue reported in the current period as an unlocking adjustment.~~

Total contract charges decreased $4.4 million or 14% in the second quarter of 2015 and $4.8 million or 8% in the first six months of 2015, compared to the same periods in the prior year. These declines largely reflected lower amortization of deferred revenue, primarily resulting from unlocking effects on the deferred revenue liability. An unlocking adjustment decreased the amortization of deferred revenue $2.3 million during the second quarter of 2015, which compares to an unlocking adjustment that increased

Contract charges are impacted by the sales of new products and the persistency of both existing and closed blocks of business. The closed blocks of business reflect products and entities that have been purchased but to which the Company is not actively pursuing marketing efforts to generate new sales. The Company services these policies to meet long-term profit objectives. Total contract charges on closed blocks equaled 41% and 42% of total consolidated contract charges in the third quarters of 2015 and 2014, and 43% and 42% in the first nine months of 2015 and 2014, respectively. Total contract charges on closed blocks decreased 6% in the third quarter and 4% in the first nine months of 2015 compared to the prior year, reflecting the runoff of the business as well as reduced surrender charges on acquired variable universal life and variable annuity products. Total contract charges on open, or ongoing, blocks of business decreased 1% in the third quarter and 8% in the first nine months of 2015 compared to the same periods in 2014. These changes largely reflected the lower amortization of deferred revenue resulting from unlocking effects on the deferred revenue liability.

Investment Revenues

Gross investment income is largely composed of interest, dividends, and other earnings on fixed maturity securities, equity securities, short-term investments, mortgage loans, real estate, and policy loans. Gross investment income declined $01.43 million or 13% in the ~~second~~third quarter and $02.91 million or 12% in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2015 compared with the same periods in 2014. These declines primarily reflected lower average invested assets and lower overall yields earned and available on certain investments. In addition, investment expenses rose $01.80 million or 2634% in the ~~second~~third quarter and $12.3 million or 2125% in the first ~~six~~nine months compared to the prior year, primarily due to an increase in real estate expenses from real estate purchases made during 2014.

Fixed maturity securities provided a majority of the Company's investment income during the ~~second~~third quarter and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2015. Income on these investments declined $01.85 million or 35% in the ~~second~~third quarter and $12.38 million or 23% in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2015 compared to one year earlier, as an increase in average invested assets was more than offset by lower yields earned.

Investment income from commercial mortgage loans decreased $10.13 million or 124% in the ~~first~~third quarter and $2.69 million or 1411% in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2015 compared to the prior year. These declines were primarily due to a lower average mortgage loan portfolio balance and lower yields earned on new loans compared to the prior year, primarily from maturities and principal paydowns that have exceeded new mortgage loan originations.

The Company realizes investment gains and losses from several sources, including write-downs of investment securities and mortgage loans, sales of investment securities, and real estate. Many securities purchased by the Company contain call provisions, which allow the issuer to redeem the securities at a particular price on or at a particular date or within a particular time frame. Depending upon the terms of the call provision and price at which the security was purchased, a gain or loss may be realized.

The Company recorded a net realized investment gain of $0.4.0 million in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2015, compared with a net realized investment gain of $0.76 million in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2014. During the ~~second~~third quarter of 2015, the Company recorded $2.4.7 million in gains, largely from the sale of ~~certain~~real ~~securities~~estate properties and from certain securities being called. Net realized investment gains for the first ~~six~~nine months totaled $04.34 million in 2015 compared to $2.28 million in 2014. Gains due to investment securities called and other were $2.69 million ~~in 2015~~ and $1.78 million in the first nine months of 2015 and 2014, respectively. Partially offsetting these gains, investment losses of $12.94 million and $0.36 million were recorded due to write-downs of investment securities that were considered other-than-temporarily impaired in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The Company's analysis of securities for the ~~second~~third quarter ended ~~June~~September 30, 2015 resulted in the determination that one fixed maturity security had an other-than-temporary impairment of $10.64 million. This issuer is in the oil exploration and drilling industry and has announced a restructuring plan. In addition, the Company ~~had~~determined that a ~~collateralized debt obligation and two~~ mortgage-backed ~~securities~~security ~~with~~had other-than-temporary impairments totaling less than $0.41 million in the ~~second~~third quarter. The total fair value of the affected securities after the write-downs ~~was~~were $144.17 million.

Other Revenues

Other revenues consist primarily of supplementary contract considerations; policyholder dividends left with the Company to accumulate; and certain income received from subsidiaries of the Company. Other revenues decreased $0.3 million or 13% in the second quarter and $0.9 million or 19% in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same periods in the prior year. The decline in other revenues during 2015 reflects the revenue decrease from the divestiture of certain non-proprietary agent relationships related to Sunset Financial Services in the fourth quarter of 2014. In addition, lower revenue was earned by the Company's subsidiary that invests in affordable housing real estate, due to lower amounts of tax credits transferred or sold in 2015 compared to 2014.

Other Revenues

Other revenues consist primarily of supplementary contract considerations; policyholder dividends left with the Company to accumulate; and certain income received from subsidiaries of the Company. Other revenues decreased $0.5 million or 19% in the third quarter and $1.3 million or 19% in the first nine months of 2015 compared to the same periods in the prior year. The decline in other revenues during 2015 reflects the revenue decrease from the divestiture of certain non-proprietary agent relationships related to Sunset Financial Services in the fourth quarter of 2014. In addition, lower revenue was earned by the Company's subsidiary that invests in affordable housing real estate, due to lower amounts of tax credits transferred or sold in 2015 compared to 2014.

Policyholder Benefits

Policyholder benefits consist of death benefits, immediate annuity benefits, accident and health benefits, surrenders, interest, other benefits, and the associated increase or decrease in reserves for future policy benefits. The largest component of policyholder benefits was death benefits for the periods presented. Death benefits reflect mortality results, after consideration of the impact of reinsurance. Mortality will fluctuate from period to period.

Policyholder benefits ~~decreased~~increased $21.39 million or 54% in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2015 compared to the same period one year earlier. The largest factor in this change was a ~~decrease in benefit and contract reserves. Several factors contributed to the change in reserves. Changes in the fair value of the GMWB rider resulted in a~~ $2.0 million ~~decrease~~increase in ~~benefit~~death ~~and~~benefits, ~~contract~~net ~~reserves~~of reinsurance. ~~Also~~This ~~contributing to the reserve~~ change was aprimarily ~~decrease~~the inresult ~~immediate~~of ~~annuity~~increased ~~premiums.

Policyholder benefits decreased $42.89 million or 52% in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2015 compared to the same period one year earlier. The largest factor in this change was a decrease in benefit and contract reserves. Several factors contributed to the change in reserves. Changes in the fair value of the GMWB rider resulted in a $43.68 million decrease in benefit and contract reserves. Approximately $1.5 million of this favorable change was due to the movement of variable annuity investments associated with the GMWB rider into funds managed with the objective of lower volatility. Also contributing to the reserve change was a decrease in immediate annuity premiums. Policyholder reserves for immediate annuity premiums are established on an approximately equal and offsetting basis, and a decrease in premiums results in a decrease to reserves on a comparative basis. Partially offsetting these declines, death benefits, net of reinsurance, increased in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2015, reflecting increased death benefits ~~at the Old American segment,~~ in ~~part~~both ~~due~~the toIndividual ~~growth~~Insurance ~~in sales~~ and ~~business~~Old ~~retention~~American segments.

The Company has a GMWB rider for variable annuity contracts that is considered to be a financial derivative and, as such, is accounted for at fair value. The Company determines the fair value of the GMWB rider using a risk-neutral valuation method. The value of the riders will fluctuate depending on market conditions. For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2015, the fair value of the liability decreased $31.56 million compared to the fair value at December 31, 2014. This fluctuation can be primarily attributed to ~~increases~~decreases in risk-free swap rates, decreased capital market returns, and the movement of variable annuity investments into funds managed with the objective of lower volatility.

Interest Credited to Policyholder Account Balances

Interest is credited to policyholder account balances according to terms of the policies or contracts for universal life, fixed deferred annuities, and other investment-type products. There are minimum levels of interest crediting stipulated in certain policies or contracts, as well as allowances for adjustments to be made to reflect current market conditions in certain policies or contracts. Accordingly, the Company reviews and adjusts crediting rates as necessary and appropriate. Amounts credited are a function of account balances and current period crediting rates. As account balances fluctuate, so will the amount of interest credited to policyholder account balances. Interest credited to policyholder account balances decreased $0.74 million or 32% in the ~~second~~third quarter and $1.26 million or 3% in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2015 compared with the same periods one year earlier. This decline was due to lower average crediting rates as well as a decrease in policyholder account balances compared to one year earlier.

Amortization of DAC

Total amortization of deferred acquisition costs decreased $100.6 million or 846% in the ~~second~~third quarter and $11.06 million or 5237% in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2015 compared to the same periods in the prior year. ~~These~~Changes in expense assumptions on new business contributed to the declines ~~were~~in ~~largely~~both the third quarter and nine months of 2015. In addition, the decline in the nine months was also due to an unlocking adjustment that decreased DAC amortization $6.4 million in the second quarter ~~and six months~~ of 2015, compared to an unlocking adjustment that increased DAC amortization $1.7 million in the second quarter ~~and six months~~ of 2014. The unlocking in 2015 was associated with favorable adjustments for mortality and expenses, partially offset by adjustments related to interest rates. The unlocking in 2014 was associated with adjustments related to interest rates that were mostly offset by adjustments for mortality.

Unlocking and Refinements in Estimates

At least annually, a review is performed of the models and the assumptions used to develop expected gross profits for interest sensitive and variable insurance products based upon management’s current view of future events. The Company may also consider refinements in estimates due to improved capabilities resulting from administrative or actuarial system enhancements. No unlocking occurred in the third quarter of either 2015 or 2014.

The following tables summarize the effects of the refinements in estimates on all products and unlocking of assumptions on interest sensitive products in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses consist of incurred commission expense from the sale of insurance products, net of the deferral of certain commissions and certain expenses directly associated with the successful acquisition of new business, expenses from the Company's operations, the amortization of VOBA, and other expenses. Operating expenses ~~increased~~decreased $20.9 million or 133% in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2015 compared to the same period one year earlier. This ~~increase~~decrease ~~largely~~ reflected ~~higher~~lower ~~VOBA~~commissions ~~amortization~~and capitalized commissions, as ~~discussed~~well ~~below,~~as ~~and~~a ~~higher~~decline ~~employee~~in ~~salary~~VOBA ~~and~~amortization, ~~benefit~~as ~~costs~~discussed below. Operating expenses ~~increased~~decreased $0.45 million or 1% in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2015, primarily due to ~~increases~~lower incommissions ~~VOBA amortization, as discussed below,~~ and ~~salary~~capitalized ~~and employee benefit costs~~commissions.

In addition~~amortization, ~~consulting~~salary ~~fees~~and ~~decreased,~~employee asbenefit ~~the prior year results included administrative conversion~~ costs, ~~associated~~and ~~with~~legal ~~the reinsurance transaction on variable products~~costs.

VOBA is evaluated on an ongoing basis for unlocking adjustments. If necessary, adjustments are made to the current period VOBA amortization. The amortization of VOBA ~~increased~~decreased $20.34 million in the ~~second~~third quarter and increased $1.95 million in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2015 compared to the prior year. The decrease in the third quarter reflected higher mortality experience. The increase in ~~both~~the ~~periods~~nine months was largely due to an unlocking adjustment, which increased VOBA amortization $0.9 million in ~~both~~ the second quarter ~~and first six months~~ of 2015. This compares to an unlocking adjustment that decreased VOBA amortization $1.5 million in the ~~same~~second ~~periods~~quarter ~~one~~of ~~year earlier~~2014. The unlocking in both 2015 and 2014 was associated with interest and expense margins.

Income Taxes

The ~~second~~third quarter income tax expense was $42.7 million or 3033% of income before tax for 2015, versus $3.96 million or 31% of income before tax for the prior year period. The income tax expense for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2015 was $710.41 million or 30% of income before tax, versus $69.28 million or 3031% of income before tax for the prior year.

The effective income tax rate was lower than the prevailing corporate federal income tax rate of 35% in the ~~second~~third quarters of 2015 and 2014, primarily due to permanent differences, including the dividends-received deduction, and investments in affordable housing tax credits. Permanent differences resulted in aan ~~benefit~~expense of approximately 2% of income before tax in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2015, versus a benefit of approximately 12% of income before tax in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2014. Investments in affordable housing resulted in a benefit of approximately 34% of income before tax in the ~~second~~third quarters of 2015 ~~and~~versus a benefit of approximately 2% of income before tax in the third quarter of 2014.

The effective income tax rate was lower than the prevailing corporate federal income tax rate of 35% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2015 and 2014. Permanent differences, including the dividends-received deduction, resulted in a benefit of approximately 2% of income before tax for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2015. This compares to a benefit of approximately 1% of income before tax for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2014. Investments in affordable housing resulted in a benefit of approximately 3% of income before tax for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2015, ~~versus~~and ~~a benefit of approximately 4% of income before tax for the six months ended June 30,~~ 2014.

Table of Contents

The net income for this segment was $1720.26 million in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2015 compared to $1320.41 million in the same period in 2014. The increase in the current year reflected decreases in policyholder benefits, interest credited to policyholder account balances, and amortization of deferred acquisition costs, along with an increase in net realized investment gains. Partially offsetting these were decreases in insurance revenues, net investment income, and other revenues~~, along with lower net realized investment gains and higher operating expenses~~.

Total insurance revenues decreased $64.13 million in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2015, reflecting a $13.74 million or 2039% decrease in net premiums and a $40.49 million or 143% decrease in contract charges. Total insurance revenues decreased $711.69 million in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2015, reflecting a $26.82 million or 1624% decrease in net premiums and a $45.87 million or 86% decrease in contract charges.

In addition, the conversions from fixed deferred annuities are based upon the individual needs and decisions of contract owners. Conversions from fixed deferred annuities totaled $2.6 million during the third quarter of 2015, down from $5.5 million in the third quarter of 2014.

Total new premiums for this segment decreased $25.7 million or 1622% and total renewal premiums increased $0.2 million or 1% in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2015 compared to the prior year. The decrease in new premiums reflected a $25.42 million or 1624% decrease in immediate annuity premiums and a $0.45 million or 1513% decrease in traditional life premiums. Conversions from fixed deferred annuities totaled $11.4 million during the first nine months of 2015, down from $14.4 million in the first nine months of 2014. The increase in renewal premiums was due to improved traditional life renewal premiums.

Total new deposits decreased $72.82 million or 2810% in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2015 compared to the previous year, resulting from a $2.4.3 million or 46% decline in new ~~fixed~~variable annuity deposits. Partially ~~and~~offsetting athis were increases of $51.6 million ~~decline~~or 17% in new ~~variable~~fixed annuity deposits and $0.5 million or 23% in new universal life deposits. Total renewal deposits declined $4.2.7 million or 107% in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2015, reflecting a $1.4 million or 25% decrease in fixed annuity renewal deposits and a $0.7 million or 10% decline in variable universal life renewal deposits. Universal life and fixed annuity deposits can have sizeable fluctuations period-to-period based upon changes in financial conditions, alternative and competitive products, and consumer preferences.

Total new deposits decreased $1214.35 million or 2520% in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2015 compared to the previous year, resulting from a $512.26 million or 46% decline in new ~~fixed~~variable annuity deposits and ana $8.3.6 million or 10% decline in new ~~variable~~fixed annuity deposits. These were partially offset by a $2.1 million or 27% increase in new universal life deposits. Total renewal deposits declined $36.52 million or 45% in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2015, ~~due~~as toan aincrease ~~decrease~~ in ~~fixed~~universal ~~annuity~~life renewal deposits~~.

Total contract charges on all blocks of business declined $40.49 million or 143% in the ~~second~~third quarter and $45.87 million or 86% in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2015 compared to the same periods one year earlier. ~~These~~The decline in the third quarter primarily reflected the runoff of closed blocks of business. The declines ~~were~~in the nine months was primarily due to lower amortization of deferred revenue. An unlocking adjustment decreased the amortization of deferred revenue $2.3 million during the second quarter of 2015 compared to an unlocking adjustment that increased deferred revenue amortization $1.8 million during the second quarter of 2014. In addition, contract charges decreased due to lower surrenders on policyholder account balances in both the ~~second~~third quarter and ~~six~~nine months.

Total contract charges on closed blocks declined 56% in the ~~second~~third quarter and 34% in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2015 compared to the same periods in 2014. ~~This~~These ~~decline~~declines ~~reflects~~reflect the general runoff of the closed blocks of business as well as reduced surrender charges on acquired variable universal life and variable annuity products. Total contract charges on open blocks of business, where there is ongoing marketing for new sales, decreased 211% in the ~~second~~third quarter and 128% in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2015. These changes largely reflected the lower amortization of deferred revenue resulting from unlocking effects on the deferred revenue liability.

Gross investment income decreased $01.32 million or 13% in the ~~second~~third quarter and $01.67 million or 1% in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2015 compared to the same periods in the prior year. These declines primarily reflected lower average invested assets and lower overall yields earned and available on certain investments. In addition, investment expenses rose $01.80 million or 2635% in the ~~second~~third quarter ~~and $1.3 million or 21% in the first six months compared to the prior year, primarily due to an increase in real estate expenses from real estate purchases made in 2014.~~

Policyholder benefits decreased $4.0 million or 14% in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the prior year. This decline reflected decreases in death benefits, net of reinsurance, and benefit and contract reserves. Contributing to the decline in benefit

VOBA is evaluated on an ongoing basis for unlocking adjustments. If necessary, adjustments are made in the current period VOBA amortization. The amortization of VOBA decreased $0.4 million in the third quarter and increased $1.5 million in the first nine months of 2015 compared to the prior year. The decrease in the third quarter reflected higher mortality experience. The increase in the nine months was largely due to an unlocking adjustment, which increased VOBA amortization $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2015. This compares to an unlocking adjustment that decreased VOBA amortization $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2014.

New group direct premiums decreased $10.57 million or 3316% in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2015 compared with the same period in 2014. This decrease was principally from group life and dental premiums, which decreased $0.3 million or 3933% and $0.94 million or 4020%, respectively, versus the ~~second~~third quarter of 2014. ~~Group~~The short-term disability ~~products~~product also experienced ~~decreases~~a decrease in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2015. New group direct premiums decreased $3.4.2 million or 3630% for the first ~~six~~nine months of 2015, compared to the same period one year earlier. This decrease was largely from the dental and group life product lines, which ~~had~~decreased a $2.4 million or 36% and $0.9 million or 4236%, ~~decrease~~respectively, versus the prior year. The short-term disability product ~~and the group life product~~ also experienced ~~decreases~~a decrease in the first ~~half~~nine months of 2015. Dental sales are being impacted by the uncertainty that exists for employers concerning the costs, legal requirements, and complexities associated with Affordable Care Act (ACA) compliance. As a result, many employers have been reluctant to engage in new plans or modify existing benefits for employees.

Renewal premiums increased $0.51 million or 41% in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2015 versus the same quarter of 2014~~, reflecting a $0~~.~~5 million or 7% increase in group dental premiums.~~ ~~The increase in dental premiums was the result of improved retention on existing business.~~ Group life renewal premiums for the ~~second~~third quarter of 2015 increased $0.23 million or 911% versus the same period one year earlier. ~~These~~This ~~improvements~~improvement ~~were~~was offset by a $0.24 million or 1116% decline in short-term disability premiums.

Renewal premiums for the first ~~half~~nine months of 2015 for this segment increased $1.0.9 million or 42% versus the same period one year earlier. Group dental renewal premiums increased $1.3 million or 117% and group life premiums ~~also~~ increased $0.58 million or 910% for the first ~~six~~nine months, while the short-term disability premiums declined $01.92 million or 1918% during this period. The overall increase in ~~dental~~renewal premiums was the result of improved retention on existing business.

This segment uses targeted reinsurance in its life and disability product lines to help mitigate risk and allow for a higher level and volume of sales and profitability. Reinsurance ceded premiums decreased $0.24 million for the ~~second~~third quarter and $1.03 million for the first ~~six~~nine months of 2015 compared with the same respective periods in 2014.

Total policyholder benefits for this segment consist of claim payments, net of reinsurance, and increases or decreases in reserves for future policy benefits. Total policyholder benefits, ~~net of reinsurance,~~ for this segment ~~increased~~decreased $0.29 million or 310% in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2015 compared with the same period in 2014. This resulted from a $0.45 million or 2632% ~~increase~~decrease in group life benefits~~. Partially~~ ~~offsetting~~and ~~this was~~ a $0.26 million or 311% decrease in group dental benefits. Total policyholder benefits, net of reinsurance, decreased $01.76 million or 46% for the first ~~six~~nine months of 2015 compared with prior year. This decrease was largely from the group dental product, where benefit costs decreased $01.84 million or 78% compared with the prior year.

This segment identifies and tracks a policyholder benefit ratio, which is derived by dividing policyholder benefits, net of reinsurance, by total group insurance revenues. This ratio allows for a measure of the comparability of product and marketing changes over time. Generally, within each product line, a lower ratio reflects improved results. This ratio was 6452% for the ~~second~~third quarter of 2015 compared to 5956% for the ~~second~~third quarter of 2014. The ratio was 6057% for the first ~~six~~nine months of 2015 compared to 5958% in the same period one year earlier. The ~~increase~~decrease in this ratio in the ~~second~~third quarter ~~was most notable in the short-term disability, life,~~ and ~~dental~~nine ~~product lines. The increase in this ratio in the six~~ months was most notable in the ~~short-term~~life ~~disability~~ and ~~life~~dental product lines.

Operating expenses consist of commissions, fees to third-party marketing and administrative organizations, and expenses from the Company's internal operations. Operating expenses for this segment decreased $0.23 million or 35% in the ~~second~~third quarter and $0.69 million or 5% for the ~~six~~nine months of 2015 compared with the same periods in the prior year. These results primarily reflect decreased commissions, resulting from lower new sales volume, ~~but~~that were partially offset by increases in third-party administration charges and administrative expenses from internal operations.

Total new premiums ~~decreased~~increased $0.3 million or 1110% in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2015, while total renewal premiums increased $0.65 million or 43% compared to the same period one year earlier. Total new premiums increased $01.70 million or 11% in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2015, while total renewal premiums increased $1.05 million or 3%. This segment continues to have favorable experience with its renewal premiums, which are largely the result of growth in new sales in prior periods and favorable retention of business.

Net investment income ~~remained~~decreased ~~flat~~$0.1 million or 2% in the ~~second~~third quarter and decreased $0.23 million or 43% in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2015 versus the same periods in the prior year. These ~~While~~decreases ~~average~~were ~~invested~~largely ~~assets~~due ~~increased,~~to lower overall yields earned and available on certain investments ~~exceeded the growth in invested assets~~. In addition, net realized investment gains ~~increased~~decreased less than $0.1 million in the ~~second~~third quarter and decreased $0.12 million in first ~~six~~nine months of 2015 versus the same periods in 2014.

Policyholder benefits increased $10.56 million in the ~~second~~third quarter and $3.17 million in the first ~~six~~nine months versus the same periods in the prior year. These increases were largely due to an increase in ~~net~~reserves ~~death benefits~~ of $01.81 million in the ~~second~~third quarter and $21.57 million in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2015 compared with the same periods one year earlier, in part due to growth in sales and business retention. In addition, there were increases in reserves of $0.8 million in the second quarter and $0.6 million in the first six months compared to the prior year. These increases in reserves resulted from growth in business over the past several years and favorable retention of business.

The amortization of DAC decreased $10.17 million or 2617% in the ~~second~~third quarter and $01.96 million or 1113% in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2015 compared with the same periods one year earlier. These decreases ~~are~~were largely due to changes in expense assumptions on new business.

Operating expenses ~~remained~~increased ~~essentially~~$0.5 ~~flat~~million during the ~~second~~third quarter and ~~declined~~ $0.32 million in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2015 compared with the same periods one year earlier. The ~~decrease~~increase in the ~~six~~third ~~months~~quarter was primarily the result of ~~reduced~~increases in agent meeting costs and salary and employee benefit costs.

Analysis of Investments

The Company seeks to protect policyholders’ benefits and achieve a desired level of organizational profitability by optimizing risk and return on an ongoing basis through managing asset and liability cash flows, monitoring credit risk, avoiding high levels of investments that may be redeemed by the issuer, maintaining sufficiently liquid investments and avoiding undue asset concentrations through diversification, among other things.

The primary sources of investment risk to which the Company is exposed include credit risk, interest rate risk, and liquidity risk. The Company’s ability to manage these risks is essential to the success of the organization. In particular, the Company devotes considerable resources to both the credit analysis of each new investment and to ongoing credit positions. A default by an issuer usually involves some loss of principal to the investor. Losses can be mitigated by timely sales of affected securities or by active involvement in a restructuring process. However, there can be no assurance that the efforts of an investor will lead to favorable outcomes in a bankruptcy or restructuring. Credit risk is managed primarily through industry, issuer, and structure diversification.

For additional information regarding the Company’s asset/liability management program, please see the Asset/Liability Management section within Item 7A: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in the Company's 2014 Form 10-K, as amended.

The fair value of fixed maturity and equity securities with unrealized losses was $~~491~~451.85 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2015, compared with $297.3 million at December 31, 2014. The increase primarily reflected the increase in ~~interest~~market ~~rates~~spreads during the first ~~half~~nine months of 2015, particularly among securities impacted by the recent reduced values of oil and other commodities. At ~~June~~September 30, 2015, 9594% of security investments with an unrealized loss were investment grade and accounted for 9485% of the total unrealized losses. At December 31, 2014, 94% of securities with an unrealized loss were investment grade and accounted for 82% of the total unrealized losses. At ~~June~~September 30, 2015, the Company had gross unrealized losses on fixed maturity and equity securities of $1419.69 million that were offset by $~~156~~158.98 million in gross unrealized gains. At December 31, 2014, the Company had $11.8 million in gross unrealized losses on fixed maturity and equity securities, offset by $186.4 million in gross unrealized gains. At ~~June~~September 30, 2015, 8283% of the fixed maturity and equity securities portfolio had unrealized gains, a decrease from 89% at December 31, 2014. The decrease in unrealized gains at ~~June~~September 30, 2015 largely reflects an overall increase in ~~interest~~market ~~rates~~spreads during the first ~~half~~nine months of 2015. Gross unrealized losses on fixed maturity and equity securities for less than 12 months accounted for $911.17 million or 6359% of total unrealized losses and 8378% of the value of the securities in a gross unrealized loss position at ~~June~~September 30, 2015. Gross unrealized losses on fixed maturity and equity security investments of 12 months or longer decreased from $8.9 million at December 31, 2014 to $58.42 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2015.

The three categories of investments with the largest amount of unrealized losses at ~~June~~September 30, 2015 were from the industrial sector, the energy sector, and other securities. The unrealized losses in the industrial and energy sectors primarily relate to changes in interest rates and market spreads subsequent to purchase. The other securities category is largely composed of asset-backed securities. The Company performs present value calculations of future cash flow projections for many of the asset-backed securities to evaluate the potential for other-than-temporary impairment. The Company continues to monitor these investments as described in Note 4. Please refer to that note for further information.
