FIRST ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. General
The consolidated financial statements of First Acceptance Corporation (the Company) included
herein have been prepared without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have
been omitted. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the
interim periods. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years consolidated
financial statements to conform with the current year presentation.
The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the
results of operations to be expected for the full year. These consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited consolidated financial statements included
in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.
2. Investments
Fair Value
Fair value is the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The
Company holds available-for-sale investments, which are carried at fair value.
Fair value measurements are generally based upon observable and unobservable inputs.
Observable inputs are based on market data from independent sources, while unobservable inputs
reflect the Companys view of market assumptions in the absence of observable market information.
All assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of
the following categories:
|
|
|
Level 1 -
|
|
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
|
|
|
Level 2 -
|
|
Quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in active
markets; quoted prices by independent pricing services for identical or similar
assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and valuations, using models
or other valuation techniques, that use observable market data. All significant
inputs are observable, or derived from observable information in the marketplace, or
are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the market
place. |
|
|
|
Level 3 -
|
|
Instruments that use non-binding broker quotes or model driven
valuations that do not have observable market data. |

ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(Unaudited)
The fair values of the Companys investments are determined by management after taking into
consideration available sources of data. All of the portfolio valuations classified as Level 1 or
Level 2 in the above tables are priced exclusively by utilizing the services of independent pricing
sources using observable market data. The Level 2 classified security valuations are obtained from
a single independent pricing service. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 for the
three and six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. The Companys policy is to recognize
transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period. The Company has not made any
adjustments to the prices obtained from the independent pricing sources.
The Company has reviewed the pricing techniques and methodologies of the Level 2 independent
pricing service and believes that their policies adequately consider market activity, either based
on specific transactions for the security valued or based on modeling of securities with similar
credit quality, duration, yield and structure that were recently traded. The Company monitored
security-specific valuation trends and has made inquiries with the pricing service about material
changes or the absence of expected changes to understand the underlying factors and inputs and to
validate the reasonableness of the pricing.
Based on the above categorization, there were no Level 3 classified security valuations at
December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010. The following tables represent the quantitative disclosure for
those assets classified as Level 3 during the three and six months ended December 31, 2009 (in
thousands).

identification. The non-credit related portion of other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) charges
is included in other comprehensive income (loss). At December 31, 2010, the amounts of such charges
taken for securities still owned was $0.4 million for non-agency backed residential collateralized
mortgage obligations (CMOs). At June 30, 2010, the amount of such charges taken for securities
still owned was $0.6 million for non-agency backed residential CMOs and $0.3 million for non-agency
backed commercial CMOs.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards
Codification (ASC) 320-10-65, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments
(FASB ASC 320-10-65), the Company separates OTTI into the following two components: (i) the
amount related to credit losses, which is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations
and (ii) the amount related to all other factors, which is recorded in other comprehensive income
(loss). The credit-related portion of an OTTI is measured by comparing a securitys amortized cost
to the present value of its current expected cash flows discounted at its effective yield prior to
the impairment charge.
The determination of whether unrealized losses are other-than-temporary requires judgment
based on subjective as well as objective factors. The Company routinely monitors its investment
portfolio for changes in fair value that might indicate potential impairments and performs detailed
reviews on such securities. Changes in fair value are evaluated to determine the extent to which
such changes are attributable to (i) fundamental factors specific to the issuer or (ii)
market-related factors such as interest rates or sector declines.
Securities with declines attributable to issuer-specific fundamentals are reviewed to identify
all available evidence to estimate the potential for impairment. Resources used include historical
financial data included in filings with the SEC for corporate bonds and performance data regarding
the underlying loans for CMOs. Securities with declines attributable solely to market or sector
declines where the Company does not intend to sell the security and it is more likely than not that
the Company will not be required to sell the security before the full recovery of its amortized
cost basis are not deemed to be other-than-temporary.
The issuer-specific factors considered in reaching the conclusion that securities with
declines are not other-than-temporary include (i) the extent and duration of the decline in fair
value, including the duration of any significant decline in value, (ii) whether the security is
current as to payments of principal and interest, (iii) a valuation of any underlying collateral,
(iv) current and future conditions and trends for both the business and its industry, (v) changes
in cash flow assumptions for CMOs and (vi) rating agency actions. Based on these factors, the
Company makes a determination as to the probability of recovering principal and interest on the
security.
The number and amount of securities for which the Company has recognized OTTI charges in net
income (loss) are presented in the following tables (in thousands, except for the number of
securities).

On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews cash flow estimates for certain non-agency backed
CMOs of lesser credit quality following the guidance of FASB ASC 325-40-65, Amendments to the
Impairment Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20 (FASB ASC 325-40-65). Accordingly, when changes in
estimated cash flows from the cash flows previously estimated occur due to actual or estimated
prepayment or credit loss experience, and the present value of the revised cash flows is less than
the present value previously estimated, OTTI is deemed to have occurred. For non-agency backed CMOs
not subject to FASB ASC 325-40-65, the Company reviews quarterly projected cash flow analyses and
recognizes OTTI when it determines that a loss is probable. The Company has recognized OTTI related
to certain non-agency backed CMOs as the underlying cash flows have been adversely impacted due to
a reduction in prepayments from mortgage refinancing and an increase in actual and projected
delinquencies in the underlying mortgages.
The Companys review of non-agency backed CMOs included an analysis of available information
such as collateral quality, anticipated cash flows, credit enhancements, default rates, loss
severities, the securities relative position in their respective capital structures, and credit
ratings from statistical rating agencies. The Company reviews quarterly projected cash flow
analyses for each security utilizing current assumptions regarding (i) actual and anticipated
delinquencies, (ii) delinquency transition-to-default rates and (iii) loss severities. Based on its
quarterly reviews, the Company determined that there had not been an adverse change in projected
cash flows, except in the case of those securities for which OTTI charges have been recorded. The
Company believes that the unrealized losses on the remaining non-agency backed CMOs for which OTTI
charges have not been recorded are not necessarily predictive of the ultimate performance of the
underlying collateral. The Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is more likely
than not that the Company will not be required to sell these securities before the recovery of
their amortized cost basis.
The Company believes that the remaining securities having unrealized losses at December 31,
2010 were not other-than-temporarily impaired. The Company also does not intend to sell any of
these securities and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell any
of these securities before the recovery of their amortized cost basis.

For the three months ended December 31, 2010, the computation of diluted net loss per share
did not include 0.4 million shares of unvested restricted common stock as their inclusion would
have been anti-dilutive. For the three months ended December 31, 2009, the computation of diluted
net income per share included 0.5 million shares of unvested restricted common stock. Options to
purchase approximately 4.6 million shares for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009,
respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share as their
exercise prices were in excess of the average stock prices for the periods presented.
For the six months ended December 31, 2010, the computation of diluted net loss per share did
not include 0.4 million shares of unvested restricted common stock as their inclusion would have
been anti-dilutive. For the six months ended December 31, 2009, the computation of diluted net
income per share included 0.5 million shares of unvested restricted common stock. Options to

The Company had a valuation allowance of $17.4 million and $16.9 million at December 31, 2010
and June 30, 2010, respectively, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely
than not to be realized, which included all net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2010 and June
30, 2010. The change in the total valuation allowance for the six months ended December 31, 2010
was an increase of $0.5 million. For the six months ended December 31, 2010, the change in the
valuation allowance included a reduction of $0.1 million related to the unrealized change on
investments included in other comprehensive income (loss).
In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considered whether it was more
likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The
Company is required to assess whether a valuation allowance should be established against the
Companys deferred tax assets based on the consideration of all available evidence using a more
likely than not standard. In making such judgments, significant weight is given to evidence that
can be objectively verified. In assessing the Companys ability to support the realizability of its
deferred tax assets, management considered both positive and negative evidence. The Company placed
greater weight on historical results than on the Companys outlook for future profitability and
established a deferred tax valuation allowance against all net deferred tax assets at December 31,
2010 and June 30, 2010. The deferred tax valuation allowance may be adjusted in future periods if
management determines that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax
assets will be realized. In the event the deferred tax valuation allowance is adjusted, the Company
would record an income tax benefit for the adjustment.
5. Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets
Goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets are attributable to the Companys insurance
operations and were initially recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.
Goodwill and other intangible assets, primarily comprised of trade names, having an indefinite
useful life are not amortized for financial statement purposes. The Company performs required
annual impairment tests of its goodwill and intangible assets during the fourth quarter of each
fiscal year. In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the goodwill and other
identifiable intangible assets may be impaired, an interim impairment test would be required.
The goodwill impairment test is a two-step process that requires management to make judgments
in determining what assumptions to use in the calculation. The first step of the process consists
of estimating the fair value of each reporting unit based on valuation techniques, including a
discounted cash flow model using revenue and profit forecasts, and comparing those estimated fair
values with the carrying values of those assets and liabilities, which includes the allocated
goodwill. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value, a second step is performed
to compute the amount of the impairment, if any, by determining an implied fair value of
goodwill. The determination of the implied fair value of goodwill of a reporting unit requires
the Company to allocate the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to the assets and
liabilities of the reporting unit. Any unallocated fair value represents the implied fair value
of goodwill, which is compared to its corresponding carrying value.

FIRST
ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(Unaudited)
The Companys evaluation includes multiple assumptions, including estimated discounted cash
flows and other estimates that may change over time. If future discounted cash flows become less
than those projected by the Company, impairment charges may become necessary that could have a
materially adverse impact on the Companys results of operations and financial condition. As quoted
market prices in active stock markets are relevant evidence of fair value, a significant decline in
the Companys common stock trading price may indicate an impairment of goodwill.
6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying values and fair values of certain of the Companys financial instruments at
December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010 were as follows (in thousands).

The fair values as presented represent the Companys best estimates and may not be
substantiated by comparisons to independent markets. The fair value of the debentures payable was
based on current market rates offered for debt with similar risks and maturities. Carrying values
of certain financial instruments, such as cash and cash equivalents and premiums and fees
receivable, approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments and are not
required to be disclosed. Therefore, the aggregate of the fair values presented in the table does
not purport to represent the Companys underlying value.
7. Segment Information
The Company operates in two business segments with its primary focus being the selling,
servicing and underwriting of non-standard personal automobile insurance. The real estate and
corporate segment consists of the activities related to the disposition of foreclosed real estate
held for sale, interest expense associated with all debt and other general corporate overhead
expenses.

8. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2009-17,
Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities (Topic
810) (FASB ASU No. 2009-17), which amends FASB ASC 810-10, Variable Interest Entities. FASB ASU
No. 2009-17 amends the evaluation criteria to identify the primary beneficiary of a variable
interest entity and requires ongoing reassessment of whether an enterprise is the primary
beneficiary of the variable interest entity. The Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASU No.
2009-17 in the quarter ended September 30, 2010. The adoption did not have an impact on the
Companys results of operations or financial condition.
In October 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-26, Accounting for Costs Associated with
Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) (Topic 944)
(FASB ASU No. 2010-26), which amends FASB ASC 944-340, Other Assets and Deferred Costs. FASB ASU
No. 2010-26 clarifies what costs should be deferred by insurance companies when issuing or renewing
insurance contracts. FASB ASU 2010-26 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within
those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The Company is currently evaluating
the impact that the adoption of FASB ASU 2010-26 will have on future consolidated financial
statements.

General
At December 31, 2010, we leased and operated 393 retail locations (or stores) staffed by
employee-agents who primarily sell non-standard personal automobile insurance products underwritten
by us as well as certain commissionable ancillary products. In certain states, our employee-agents
also sell other complementary insurance products underwritten by us. At December 31, 2010, we wrote
non-standard personal automobile insurance in 12 states and were licensed in 13 additional states.

FIRST ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION 10-Q
Consolidated Results of Operations
Overview
Our primary focus is the selling, servicing and underwriting of non-standard personal
automobile insurance. Our real estate and corporate segment consists of activities related to the
disposition of real estate held for sale, interest expense associated with debt, and other general
corporate overhead expenses. Our insurance operations generate revenues from selling, servicing and
underwriting non-standard personal automobile insurance policies in 12 states. We conduct our
underwriting operations through three insurance company subsidiaries: First Acceptance Insurance
Company, Inc., First Acceptance Insurance Company of Georgia, Inc. and First Acceptance Insurance
Company of Tennessee, Inc. Our insurance revenues are primarily generated from:
|
|
|
premiums earned, including policy and renewal fees, from sales of policies
written and assumed by our insurance company subsidiaries; |
|
|
|
|
commission and fee income, including installment billing fees on policies
written, agency fees and commissions and fees for other ancillary products and
services; and |
|
|
|
|
investment income earned on the invested assets of the insurance company
subsidiaries. |
The following table presents premiums earned by state (in thousands).

The following tables present total PIF for the insurance operations segregated by policies
that were sold through our open and closed retail locations as well as our independent agents. For
our retail locations, PIF are further segregated by (i) newly-issued policies and renewal policies
and (ii) liability-only or full coverage. Renewal policies are defined as those policies which
renewed after completing their full uninterrupted policy term. Newly-issued policies are defined as
those policies issued to first-time customers and customers who have reinstated a lapsed or
cancelled policy. Liability-only policies are defined as those policies including only bodily
injury (or no-fault) and property damage coverages, which are the required coverages in most
states. For comparative purposes, the PIF data with respect to closed retail locations for each of
the periods presented below includes all retail locations closed as of December 31, 2010.

Insurance companies present a combined ratio as a measure of their overall underwriting
profitability. The components of the combined ratio are as follows.
Loss Ratio Loss ratio is the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of losses and loss adjustment
expenses incurred to premiums earned and is a basic element of underwriting profitability. We
calculate this ratio based on all direct and assumed premiums earned.
Expense Ratio Expense ratio is the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of insurance operating
expenses to premiums earned. Insurance operating expenses are reduced by commission and fee income
from insureds. This is a measurement that illustrates relative management efficiency in
administering our operations.
Combined Ratio Combined ratio is the sum of the loss ratio and the expense ratio. If the
combined ratio is at or above 100%, an insurance company cannot be profitable without sufficient
investment income.

The non-standard personal automobile insurance industry is cyclical in nature. Accordingly,
adverse economic conditions impact our customers and many will choose to reduce their coverage or
go uninsured during a weak economy.
Investments
We use the services of an independent investment manager to manage our investment portfolio.
The investment manager conducts, in accordance with our investment policy, all of the investment
purchases and sales for our insurance company subsidiaries. Our investment policy has been
established by the Investment Committee of our Board of Directors and specifically addresses
overall investment goals and objectives, authorized investments, prohibited securities,
restrictions on sales by the investment manager and guidelines as to asset allocation, duration and
credit quality. Management and the Investment Committee meet regularly with our investment manager
to review the performance of the portfolio and compliance with our investment guidelines.
The invested assets of the insurance company subsidiaries consist substantially of marketable,
investment grade, U.S. government securities, municipal bonds, corporate bonds and collateralized
mortgage obligations (CMOs). We also invest a portion of the portfolio in certain securities
issued by political subdivisions, which enable our insurance company subsidiaries to obtain premium
tax credits. Investment income is comprised primarily of interest earned on these securities, net
of related investment expenses. Realized gains and losses may occur from time to time as changes
are made to our holdings based upon changes in interest rates or the credit quality of specific
securities.
Our consolidated investment portfolio was $190.0 million at December 31, 2010 and consisted of
fixed maturity securities and an investment in a mutual fund, all carried at fair value with
unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of stockholders equity. At December
31, 2010, we had gross unrealized gains of $9.8 million and gross unrealized losses of $0.8
million.
At December 31, 2010, 95.1% of the fair value of our fixed maturity portfolio was rated
investment grade (a credit rating of AAA to BBB-) by nationally recognized rating organizations.
The average credit rating of our fixed maturity portfolio was AA- at December 31, 2010. Investment
grade securities generally bear lower yields and have lower degrees of risk than those that are
unrated or non-investment grade. We believe that a high quality investment portfolio is more likely
to generate a stable and predictable investment return.
Investments in CMOs had a fair value of $37.4 million at December 31, 2010 and represented 21%
of our fixed maturity portfolio. At December 31, 2010, 86% of our CMOs were considered investment
grade by nationally recognized rating agencies. In addition, 79% of our CMOs were rated AAA and 65%
of our CMOs were backed by agencies of the United States government. Of the non-agency backed CMOs,
41% were rated AAA.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards
Codification (ASC) 320-10-65, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments,
we separate other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) into the following two components: (i) the
amount related to credit losses, which is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations
and (ii) the amount related to all other factors, which is recorded in other comprehensive income
(loss). The credit-related portion of an OTTI is measured by comparing a securitys amortized cost
to the present value of its current expected cash flows discounted at its effective yield prior to
the impairment charge.
The determination of whether unrealized losses are other-than-temporary requires judgment
based on subjective as well as objective factors. We routinely monitor our investment portfolio for
changes in fair value that might indicate potential impairments and perform detailed reviews on
such securities. Changes in fair value are evaluated to determine the extent to which such changes
are attributable to (i) fundamental factors specific to the issuer or (ii) market-related factors
such as interest rates or sector declines.
Securities with declines attributable to issuer-specific fundamentals are reviewed to identify
all available evidence to estimate the potential for impairment. Resources used include historical
financial data included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission for corporate bonds
and performance data regarding the underlying loans for CMOs. Securities with declines attributable
solely to market or sector declines where we do not intend to sell the security and it is more
likely than not that we will not be required to sell the security before the full recovery of its
amortized cost basis are not deemed to be other-than-temporary.
20
FIRST ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION 10-Q
The issuer-specific factors considered in reaching the conclusion that securities with
declines are not other-than-temporary include (i) the extent and duration of the decline in fair
value, including the duration of any significant decline in value, (ii) whether the security is
current as to payments of principal and interest, (iii) a valuation of any underlying collateral,
(iv) current and future conditions and trends for both the business and its industry, (v) changes
in cash flow assumptions for CMOs and (vi) rating agency actions. Based on these factors, we make a
determination as to the probability of recovering principal and interest on the security.
On a quarterly basis, we review cash flow estimates for certain non-agency backed CMOs of
lesser credit quality following the guidance of FASB ASC 325-40-65, Amendments to the Impairment
Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20 (FASB ASC 325-40-65). Accordingly, when changes in estimated
cash flows from the cash flows previously estimated occur due to actual or estimated prepayment or
credit loss experience, and the present value of the revised cash flows is less than the present
value previously estimated, OTTI is deemed to have occurred. For non-agency backed CMOs not subject
to FASB ASC 325-40-65, we review quarterly projected cash flow analyses and recognize OTTI when it
is determined that a loss is probable. We have recognized OTTI related to certain non-agency
backed CMOs as the underlying cash flows have been adversely impacted due to a reduction in
prepayments from mortgage refinancing and an increase in actual and projected delinquencies in the
underlying mortgages.
Our review of non-agency backed CMOs included an analysis of available information such as
collateral quality, anticipated cash flows, credit enhancements, default rates, loss severities,
the securities relative position in their respective capital structures and credit ratings from
statistical rating agencies. We review quarterly projected cash flow analyses for each security
utilizing current assumptions regarding (i) actual and anticipated delinquencies, (ii) delinquency
transition-to-default rates and (iii) loss severities. Based on our quarterly reviews, we
determined that there had not been an adverse change in projected cash flows, except in the case of
those securities discussed in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements which incurred OTTI
charges of $0.3 million and $0.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009,
respectively. We believe that the unrealized losses on the remaining non-agency backed CMOs are not
necessarily predictive of the ultimate performance of the underlying collateral. We do not intend
to sell these securities and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell these
securities before the recovery of their amortized cost basis.
We believe that the remaining securities having unrealized losses at December 31, 2010 were
not other-than-temporarily impaired. We also do not intend to sell any of these securities and it
is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell any of these securities before the
recovery of their amortized cost basis.
Three and Six Months Ended December 31, 2010 Compared with the Three and Six Months Ended December

compared with basic and diluted net income per share of $0.03 for the three months ended December
31, 2009.
Revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2010 decreased 6% to $104.8 million from $111.1
million in the same period in the prior year. Loss before income taxes for the six months ended
December 31, 2010 was $1.5 million, compared with income before income taxes of $4.4 million for
the six months ended December 31, 2009. Net loss for the six months ended December 31, 2010 was
$1.7 million, compared with net income of $4.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2009.

Insurance Operations
Revenues from insurance operations were $51.6 million for the three months ended December 31,
2010, compared with $53.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009. Revenues from
insurance operations were $104.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010, compared with
$111.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2009.
Loss before income taxes from insurance operations for the three months ended December 31,
2010 was $0.5 million, compared with income before income taxes from insurance operations of $3.6
million for the three months ended December 31, 2009. Income before income taxes from insurance
operations for the six months ended December 31, 2010 was $1.5 million, compared with $8.0 million
for the six months ended December 31, 2009.
Premiums Earned
Premiums earned decreased by $2.7 million, or 6%, to $42.5 million for the three months ended
December 31, 2010, from $45.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009. For the six
months ended December 31, 2010, premiums earned decreased by $7.2 million, or 8%, to $86.5 million
from $93.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2009. The decreases in premiums earned
were primarily due to a decline in the number of PIF from 147,090 at December 31, 2009 to 144,582
at December 31, 2010, which was impacted by the closure of underperforming stores. At December 31,
2010, we operated 393 stores, compared with 409 stores at December 31, 2009. Premiums earned were
also negatively impacted by an increase in the percentage of PIF with liability-only coverage, as
well as a decline in newly-issued PIF at December 31, 2010 compared with the same date in the prior
year. The number of PIF sold through our open stores increased from 139,453 at December 31, 2009 to
140,547 at December 31, 2010.
Commission and Fee Income
Commission and fee income increased 1% to $7.1 million for the three months ended December 31,
2010, from $7.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009. For the six months ended
December 31, 2010, commission and fee income increased 3% to $14.3 million from $13.9 million for
the six months ended December 31, 2009. The increases in commission and fee income were a result of
higher fee income related to commissionable ancillary products sold through our retail locations
offset by the decrease in the number of PIF.
Investment Income
Investment income increased to $2.1 million during the three months ended December 31, 2010
from $2.0 million during the three months ended December 31, 2009. For the six months ended
December 31, 2010, investment income increased to $4.3 million from $3.9 million during the six
months ended December 31, 2009. The increases in investment income were primarily a result of the
higher yield obtained on the mutual fund investment made in June 2010. At December 31, 2010 and
2009, the tax-equivalent book yields for our fixed maturities portfolio were 4.6% and 4.3%,
respectively, with effective durations of 3.12 and 3.35 years, respectively.
Net realized losses on investments, available-for-sale
Net realized losses on investments, available-for-sale during the three months ended December
31, 2010 included $32 thousand of charges related to OTTI on certain non-agency backed CMOs. Net
realized losses on investments, available-for-sale during the three months ended December 31, 2009
included $0.4 million of charges related to OTTI on certain non-agency backed CMOs.
For the six months ended December 31, 2010, net realized losses on investments,
available-for-sale included $0.1 million in net realized gains on sales and $0.3 million of charges
related to OTTI on certain non-agency backed CMOs. Net realized losses on investments,
available-for-sale during the six months ended December 31, 2009 included $0.3 million in net
realized gains on sales and $0.8 million of charges related to OTTI on certain non-agency backed
CMOs. For additional information with respect to the determination of OTTI losses on investment
securities, see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements.

Loss and Loss Adjustment Expenses
The loss and loss adjustment expense ratio was 78.4% for the three months ended December 31,
2010, compared with 66.1% for the three months ended December 31, 2009. The loss and loss
adjustment expense ratio was 75.6% for the six months ended December 31, 2010 compared with 67.3%
for the six months ended December 31, 2009. We experienced unfavorable development related to prior
periods of $3.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010, compared with favorable
development of $2.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009. For the six months ended
December 31, 2010, we experienced unfavorable development related to prior periods of $1.0 million,
compared with favorable development of $6.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2009. The
unfavorable development for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010 was primarily due to
higher than anticipated paid severity on accidents occurring during the first six months of
calendar year 2010. The higher than anticipated paid severity was primarily related to no-fault (or
Personal Injury Protection) losses in Florida and Bodily Injury losses in Florida and Georgia.
Excluding the development related to prior periods, the loss and loss adjustment expense
ratios for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were 71.1% and 71.4%, respectively.
Excluding the development related to prior periods, the loss and loss adjustment expense ratios for
the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were 74.5% and 73.8%, respectively. The increase
for the six months ended December 31, 2010 compared with the same period in the prior year was due
to higher loss adjustment expense resulting from (i) the increase in the percentage of claims
related to liability-only coverage policies and (ii) increased investigative efforts with regards
to no-fault claims in Florida.
As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30,
2010, we are in the process of implementing a new multivariate pricing program in all states in
which we conduct business. We believe that this new pricing program will provide us with greater
pricing segmentation and improve our pricing relative to the risk we are insuring. In connection
with this new pricing program and specific to the states mentioned above, we filed new rates in
Florida, which became effective in November 2010, and in Georgia, which are currently awaiting
regulatory approval.
Operating Expenses
Insurance operating expenses decreased 7% to $18.4 million for the three months ended December
31, 2010 from $19.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009. For the six months ended
December 31, 2010, insurance operating expenses decreased 6% to $36.9 million from $39.3 million
for the six months ended December 31, 2009. The decreases were primarily a result of a reduction in
costs (such as employee-agent commissions and premium taxes) that varied along with the decrease in
premiums earned as well as savings realized from the closure of underperforming stores.
The expense ratio decreased from 28.2% for the three months ended December 31, 2009 to 26.6%
for the same period in the current fiscal year. The expense ratio decreased from 27.1% for the six
months ended December 31, 2009 to 26.1% for the same period in the current fiscal year. The
year-over-year decreases in the expense ratio were primarily due to the reduction in fixed costs
and savings realized from the closure of underperforming stores.
Overall, the combined ratio increased to 105.0% for the three months ended December 31, 2010
from 94.3% for the three months ended December 31, 2009. For the six months ended December 31,
2010, the combined ratio increased to 101.7% from 94.4% for the six months ended December 31, 2009.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes was $0.1 million for both the three months ended December 31,
2010 and 2009. For both the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the provision for income
taxes was $0.2 million. The provision for income taxes related to current state income taxes for
certain subsidiaries with taxable income. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, we established a full
valuation allowance against all net deferred tax assets.
23
FIRST ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION 10-Q
Real Estate and Corporate
Loss before income taxes from real estate and corporate operations for the three months ended
December 31, 2010 was $1.4 million, compared with a loss before income taxes from real estate and
corporate operations of $2.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009. Loss before
income taxes from real estate and corporate operations for the six months ended December 31, 2010
was $3.0 million, compared with a loss before income taxes from real estate and corporate
operations of $3.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2009. Segment losses consist of
other operating expenses not directly related to our insurance operations, interest expense and
stock-based compensation offset by investment income on corporate invested assets. We incurred $1.0
million and $2.0 million, respectively, of interest expense during the three and six months ended
December 31, 2010 and 2009 related to the debentures issued in June 2007.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of funds are premiums, fees and investment income from our insurance
company subsidiaries and commissions and fee income from our non-insurance company subsidiaries.
Our primary uses of funds are the payment of claims and operating expenses. Net cash used in
operating activities for the six months ended December 31, 2010 was $3.1 million compared with net
cash used in operating activities of $4.2 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year. Net
cash used in operating activities for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was primarily
the result of a decrease in cash collected from premiums written. Net cash provided by investing
activities for the six months ended December 31, 2010 was $6.0 million compared with net cash used
in investing activities of $43.8 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The six
months ended December 31, 2010 included net reductions in our investment portfolio of $6.3 million,
while the same period in the prior fiscal year included net additions to our investment portfolio
of $43.2 million. The net reductions in the current fiscal year were a result of maturities and
paydowns. The net additions in the prior fiscal year were primarily the result of the reinvestment
of the proceeds from sales in the prior fiscal year of investments to generate taxable income to
utilize expiring net operating losses.
Our holding company requires cash for general corporate overhead expenses and for debt service
related to our debentures payable. The holding companys primary source of unrestricted cash to
meet its obligations is the sale of ancillary products to our insureds and, if necessary, the
holding company may receive dividends from our insurance company subsidiaries. The holding company
also receives cash from operating activities as a result of investment income. Through an
intercompany tax allocation arrangement, taxable losses of the holding company provide cash to the
holding company to the extent that taxable income is generated by the insurance company
subsidiaries. At December 31, 2010, we had $10.9 million available in unrestricted cash and
investments outside of the insurance company subsidiaries. These funds and the additional
unrestricted cash from the sources noted above will be used to pay our future cash requirements
outside of the insurance company subsidiaries.
The holding company has debt service requirements related to the debentures payable. The
debentures are interest-only and mature in full in July 2037. Interest is fixed annually through
July 2012 at $3.9 million. The debentures pay a fixed rate of 9.277% until July 30, 2012, after
which time the rate becomes variable (LIBOR plus 375 basis points).
State insurance laws limit the amount of dividends that may be paid from our insurance company
subsidiaries. Based on our earned surplus at December 31, 2010, we believe that we have total
dividend capacity for the next twelve months of $18.5 million, of which $6.6 million is subject to
regulatory approval.
The National Association of Insurance Commissioners Model Act for risk-based capital provides
formulas to determine each December 31 on an annual basis, the amount of statutory capital and
surplus that an insurance company needs to ensure that it has an acceptable expectation of not
becoming financially impaired. There are also statutory guidelines that suggest that on an annual
calendar year basis, an insurance company should not exceed a ratio of net premiums written to
statutory capital and surplus of 3-to-1. On a combined basis, the ratios for our insurance company
subsidiaries of net premiums written to statutory capital and surplus were 1.5-to-1 and 1.6-to-1 at
December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Based on our current forecast on a combined basis, we
anticipate that our risk-based capital levels will be adequate and that our ratio of net premiums
written to statutory capital and surplus will not exceed 2-to-1 for the reasonably foreseeable
future. We therefore believe that our insurance
company subsidiaries have sufficient statutory capital and surplus available to support their
net premium writings in this time frame.
24
FIRST ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION 10-Q
We believe that existing cash and investment balances, when combined with anticipated cash
flows as noted above, will be adequate to meet our expected liquidity needs, for both the holding
company and our insurance company subsidiaries, in both the short-term and the reasonably
foreseeable future. Any future growth strategy may require external financing, and we may from time
to time seek to obtain external financing. We cannot assure that additional sources of financing
will be available to us on favorable terms, or at all, or that any such financing would not
negatively impact our results of operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk represents the potential economic loss arising from adverse changes in the fair
value of financial instruments. Our exposures to market risk relate primarily to our investment
portfolio, which is exposed primarily to interest rate risk and credit risk. The fair value of our
investment portfolio is directly impacted by changes in market interest rates; generally, the fair
value of fixed-income investments moves inversely with movements in market interest rates. Our
fixed maturity portfolio is comprised of substantially all fixed rate investments with primarily
short-term and intermediate-term maturities. Likewise, the underlying investments of our current
mutual fund investment are also fixed-income investments. This portfolio composition allows
flexibility in reacting to fluctuations of interest rates. The portfolios of our insurance company
subsidiaries are managed to achieve an adequate risk-adjusted return while maintaining sufficient
liquidity to meet policyholder obligations.
Interest Rate Risk
The fair values of our fixed maturity investments fluctuate in response to changes in market
interest rates. Increases and decreases in prevailing interest rates generally translate into
decreases and increases, respectively, in the fair values of those instruments. Additionally, the
fair values of interest rate sensitive instruments may be affected by the creditworthiness of the
issuer, prepayment options, relative values of alternative investments, the liquidity of the
instrument and other general market conditions.
The following table summarizes the estimated effects of hypothetical increases and decreases
in interest rates resulting from parallel shifts in market yield curves on our fixed maturity
portfolio (in thousands). It is assumed that the effects are realized immediately upon the change
in interest rates. The hypothetical changes in market interest rates do not reflect what could be
deemed best or worst case scenarios. Variations in market interest rates could produce significant
changes in the timing of repayments due to prepayment options available. For these reasons, actual
results might differ from those reflected in the table.

2010 which are sensitive to interest rate risk. The table shows expected principal cash flows (at
par value, which differs from amortized cost as a result of premiums or discounts at the time of
purchase and OTTI) by expected maturity date for each of the next five fiscal years and
collectively for all fiscal years thereafter (in thousands). Callable bonds and notes are included
based on call date or maturity date depending upon which date produces the most conservative yield.
CMOs are included based on maturity year adjusted for expected payment patterns. Actual cash flows
may differ from those expected.

FIRST ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION 10-Q
On June 15, 2007, our trust entity, First Acceptance Statutory Trust I, used the proceeds from
its sale of trust preferred securities to purchase $41.2 million of junior subordinated debentures.
The debentures pay a fixed rate of 9.277% until July 30, 2012, after which the rate becomes
variable (LIBOR plus 375 basis points).
Credit Risk
Credit risk is managed by diversifying the portfolio to avoid concentrations in any single
industry group or issuer and by limiting investments in securities with lower credit ratings. The
largest investment in any one investment, excluding U.S. government and agency securities, is the
$7.9 million investment in a single mutual fund, or 4% of the investment portfolio. The top five
investments make up 16% of the investment portfolio. The average credit quality rating for our
fixed maturity portfolio was AA- at December 31, 2010.
The following table presents the underlying ratings of our fixed maturity portfolio by
nationally recognized securities rating organizations at December 31, 2010 (in thousands).

The mortgage industry has experienced a rise in mortgage delinquencies and foreclosures,
particularly among lower quality exposures (sub-prime and Alt-A). As a result of these
increasing delinquencies and foreclosures, many CMOs with underlying sub-prime and Alt-A mortgages
as collateral experienced significant declines in fair value. At December 31, 2010, our fixed
maturity portfolio included three CMOs having sub-prime exposure with a fair value of $0.9 million
and no exposure to Alt-A investments.
Our investment portfolio consists of $37.5 million of municipal bonds, of which $23.3 million
are insured. Of the insured bonds, 68% are insured with MBIA, 14% with AMBAC and 18% with XL
Capital. These securities are paying their principal and periodic interest timely.
The following table presents the underlying ratings at December 31, 2010, represented by the
lower of either Standard and Poors, Fitchs, or Moodys ratings, of the municipal bond portfolio
(in thousands).
