SUMMARY OF PLAN AND AGREEMENT OF MERGER

CONSIDERATION FOR YOUR
SHARES

First Wyoming – If the Merger Agreement approves and closes, you will receive 1.37 shares of Midwest voting common stock for each share of First Wyoming common stock you own. The value of your First Wyoming common stock has been agreed upon by the First Wyoming Board to be $1.12 per share. Fractional shares will be rounded up to the nearest whole share of Midwest voting common stock. For a discussion of the manner in which Midwest and First Wyoming negotiated the share conversion ratio set forth in the Merger Agreement, see "Proposed Merger - Background and Reasons” beginning at page 19.

Any shareholder who perfects appraisal rights under Wyoming law will receive cash in lieu of Midwest voting common stock. See “Proposed Merger - Receipt of Midwest Shares - Procedures” at page 23 and “Rights of Dissenting Shareholders” at page 29.

 

CLOSING DATE

The parties believe that the closing of the Merger Agreement will occur shortly after the conditions in the Merger Agreement (including First Wyoming shareholder approval) are satisfied.

 

CONDUCT OF BUSINESS PRIOR       
TO CLOSING

First Wyoming has agreed that prior to the closing or termination of the Merger Agreement it will not: (1) enter into any transactions other than in the ordinary course of business, (2) pay shareholder dividends or increase the compensation of officers, nor (3) enter into any agreement or transaction which will adversely affect their respective financial conditions. See “Proposed Merger - Conduct of Business Pending the Merger; Other Covenants of the Parties” at page 25 and Appendix A.

 

APPRAISAL RIGHTS

First Wyoming shareholders may dissent from the Merger Agreement and demand payment of their share values in cash. If holders of more than 2.5% of the common stock of First Wyoming (approximately 113,390 shares) perfect their appraisal rights, Midwest may terminate the Merger Agreement and the merger will not occur. See “Rights of Dissenting Shareholders,” at page 29 and “Proposed Merger - Other Conditions; Termination or Amendment of the Merger Agreement” at page 24 and Appendix B which contain copies of Wyoming statute describing the procedures for electing and perfecting shareholder appraisal rights.

 

CONDITIONS TO THE MERGER

In addition to approval by the shareholders of First Wyoming, the Merger Agreement is subject to satisfaction of other conditions including: (1) the performance by each party of its obligations; (2) the absence of any legal proceeding relating to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreements; and (3) the continued material accuracy of representations made by each party. See “Proposed Merger - Other Conditions; Termination or Amendment of the Merger Agreement” at page 24.

 

OPERATIONS OF FIRST
WYOMING AFTER THE
MERGER

Immediately following the merger, Midwest intends to merge First Wyoming into and with it. Following the merger and the merger of First Wyoming into Midwest, the former operations of First Wyoming will continue in its location and with the consolidation of computer data processing in Midwest’s system. Midwest will continue to evaluate the personnel, business practices and opportunities for First Wyoming Life and may make such changes as it deems appropriate, including consolidating operations of First Wyoming Life Insurance Company, First Wyoming’s life insurance subsidiary, with Midwest’s largest subsidiary, American Life & Security Corp. (“American Life”).

-5-



SUMMARY OF FEDERAL
INCOME TAX
CONSIDERATIONS

The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are intended to be treated as a reorganization. Accordingly, for federal income tax purposes it is anticipated that:

No gain or loss should generally be recognized by holders of First Wyoming common stock on the issuance of Midwest voting common stock to them in the merger;
 
The holding period for Midwest voting common stock received in the merger should include the holding period for the First Wyoming common stock surrendered in exchange therefore; and
 
The aggregate adjusted tax basis of Midwest voting common stock received by a First Wyoming shareholder in the merger should be the same as the basis of the stock surrendered in exchange therefore.
 

A ruling from the Internal Revenue Service is not being sought in connection with the merger although an opinion of tax counsel will be rendered to First Wyoming. The opinion of counsel is subject to certain assumptions and qualifications and will not be binding on the Internal Revenue Services. If the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement were not to so qualify as a reorganization, the non-qualifying issuance of shares would be taxable. See “Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences” at page 26.

 

TERMINATION AND
AMENDMENT OF THE MERGER       
AGREEMENT


 

The Merger Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to becoming effective:

 
 
By unanimous consent of the parties;
 
By any beneficiary of a condition precedent to the Merger Agreement if the condition has not been met or waived;
 
By any party if a suit, action, or proceeding threatens to prohibit the Merger Agreement;
 
By any party who discovers a material error in the representations of another party; or
 
In the event more than 2.5% of the outstanding shares of First Wyoming perfect appraisal rights regarding the merger.
 

OTHER MATTERS

The First Wyoming Board knows of no other matters that will come before the First Wyoming special meeting; if additional matters arise at the special meeting, the proxies will be voted at the discretion of the proxy holders.

 

FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained or incorporated by reference in this proxy statement – prospectus relate to future matters which are qualified in certain respects. See “Forward-Looking Statements” page 1.

 

RISK FACTORS

There are several significant, material risks associated with owning voting common stock of Midwest. See “Risk Factors” at page 8.

RISK FACTORS

You should consider carefully the risks described below in assessing the Merger Agreement and an investment in Midwest voting common stock.

Ownership of shares of Midwest voting common stock involves substantial risk, and the entire value of those shares may be lost.

Shares of Midwest voting common stock constitute a high-risk investment in a developing business that has incurred substantial losses to date and expects to continue to incur substantial losses for several years. No assurance can be given that any of the potential benefits envisioned by the Midwest business plan will prove to be available to its shareholders, nor can any assurance or guaranty be given as to the actual amount of financial return, if any, which may result from ownership of Midwest shares. The entire value of your shares of Midwest voting common stock may be lost.

Midwest expects significant operating losses for a number of years.

Midwest commenced life insurance operations in 2009, and it expects to incur significant operating losses for a number of years. Its insurance subsidiaries, as is common among new life insurance companies, likely will incur losses for a number of years because of the substantial nonrecurring costs of writing new life insurance. Such costs, which are deferred and amortized in accordance with Midwest’s deferred acquisition policy, include first year commissions payable to insurance agents, medical and investigation expenses, and other expenses incidental to the issuance of new policies, together with the initial reserves required to be established for each policy. At June 30, 2015, Midwest had an accumulated deficit of $22.8 million. These losses were attributable primarily to Midwest’s organization and capital raising efforts and to its entry into the life insurance business.

Midwest has a limited operating history and owns a limited amount of assets.

Midwest has a limited operating history and, until 2009, it generated no revenues other than interest and investment income. Midwest has all of the risks inherent in establishing a new business, including limited capital, uncertain product markets, lack of significant revenues, as well as competition from better capitalized and more seasoned companies. Midwest has no control over general economic conditions, competitors’ products, competitive pricing, customer demand and costs of marketing or advertising to build and expand its life insurance business. There can be no assurance that Midwest’s life insurance operations will be successful or result in any significant revenues to the extent that Midwest achieves profits and, the likelihood of any success must be considered in light of Midwest’s limited history of operations. These risks and the lack of seasoned operating history make it difficult to predict the future revenues or results of operations of Midwest. As a result, the financial results of Midwest may fluctuate and fall below expectations. This could cause the value of Midwest’s voting common stock to decline.

Midwest may not be able to execute its acquisition strategy with any degree of success, which could cause its business and future growth prospects to suffer.

A primary component of Midwest’s business plan is to pursue strategic acquisitions of insurance related companies that meet its acquisition criteria. However, suitable acquisition candidates may not be available on terms and conditions that are economic to Midwest. In pursuing acquisitions, Midwest competes with other companies, most of which have greater financial and other resources than Midwest. Further, if Midwest succeeds in consummating acquisitions, its business, financial condition and results of operations may be negatively affected because:

Some of the acquired businesses may not achieve anticipated revenues, earnings or cash flows;
 
Midwest may assume liabilities that were not disclosed or exceed estimates;
 
Midwest may be unable to integrate acquired businesses successfully and realize anticipated economic, operational and other benefits in a timely manner;
   
Acquisitions could disrupt Midwest’s on-going business, distract its management and divert financial and human resources of Midwest;
 
Midwest may experience difficulties operating in markets in which it has no or only limited direct experience; and
 
There is the potential for loss of customers and key employees of the acquired company.

-8-



Midwest intends to raise additional equity capital which will likely dilute the ownership interests of its existing shareholders.

In order to continue to operate over the long term, to fund the capital and surplus required for Midwest’s insurance subsidiaries and to seek assets and revenue to support Midwest’s business plan, Midwest expects to need additional capital, which Midwest envisions would sought to be raised through the issuance of additional shares of Midwest voting common stock or preferred stock which would be convertible into voting common stock. If additional shares are issued, the ownership interests of existing shareholders will be diluted.

Certain of Midwest’s directors and officers have relationships with insurance businesses similar to those of Midwest, which could present a potential conflict of interest if Midwest were to expand into those states or if those other insurance holding companies were to offer life insurance products in territories where Midwest life insurance subsidiaries operate.

Some of the Midwest officers and directors have past or present relationships with other life insurance providers, potential life insurance providers and their affiliates. Should Midwest plan to enter the life insurance markets in the states where these other life insurance businesses operate, or should those other businesses enter the life insurance markets in the territories where Midwest life insurance subsidiaries operate, a conflict of interest would exist. Midwest will seek to eliminate or minimize conflicts of interest, should they arise. Midwest expects that these efforts will include the required recusal of interested parties from (a) any decision relating to competition in a state in which another company with whom he or she is associated is operating, and (b) any other decision involving a conflict of interest with respect to such companies. However, the efforts to eliminate or minimize potential conflicts of interest may not be successful, in which case the revenues, results of operations and net income of Midwest could be materially adversely affected.

Midwest’s insurance marketing efforts may fail to achieve its proposed business plan.

The life insurance subsidiaries of Midwest market their insurance products through the services of licensed insurance agents. New agents are recruited through referrals from shareholders, newspaper advertisements, and solicitation through use of on-line job sites. Each potential sales agent candidate must complete a lengthy interview process. If hired to sell insurance, the candidate must complete a 40 hour training course conducted by a third party as well as pass a state insurance licensing examination. Once licensed, each candidate must complete a week long product and sales training class. Following course completion, each candidate has a training week where his or her manager will work side by side by conducting sales meetings with him or her. The average turnover rate of Midwest affiliated agents since it began writing insurance business has been approximately 20% per year.

Midwest’s insurance products are marketed using a face-to-face marketing concept. Historically Midwest’s insurance agents have used Midwest’s shareholder base and their referrals as potential clients for life insurance products. Midwest cannot predict how marketing efforts will succeed when its agents conduct general solicitation regarding insurance products.

Many of these agents have little or no prior insurance selling experience and, accordingly, this lack of experience may have a negative impact on the amount of premium volume Midwest writes. The extent of this negative impact on the premium volume written will depend primarily on Midwest’s ability to timely and adequately train agents to sell insurance products and the effectiveness of the face-to-face marketing concept used by Midwest.

-9-



The insurance subsidiaries of Midwest may fail as a result of being inadequately capitalized.

The Midwest insurance subsidiaries must have adequate capital and surplus capital, calculated in accordance with statutory accounting principles prescribed by state insurance regulatory authorities to meet regulatory requirements in the states in which they are domiciled. American Life was granted a certificate of authority by the Nebraska Department of Insurance based on initial capital and surplus (based upon statutory accounting principles) of approximately $3.5 million, which was increased to approximately $5.5 million (based upon statutory accounting principles) on September 1, 2009. American Life had approximately $2.4 million (based upon statutory accounting principles) at December 31, 2014 and $1.8 million (based upon statutory accounting principles) in capital and surplus at December 31, 2013. Capital Reserve Life Insurance Company (“Capital Reserve”), another life insurance subsidiary of Midwest, had capital and surplus (based upon statutory accounting principles) of $1.3 million (based upon statutory accounting principles) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013. Great Plains Life had capital and surplus of $2.0 million (based upon statutory accounting principles) and $2.1 million (based upon statutory accounting principles) as of December 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively. Each insurance company’s department of insurance of its state of domicile may require additional amounts of capital and surplus to support its business going forward. The amount of capital and surplus ultimately required will be based on certain “risk-based capital” standards established by statute and regulation and administered by the Arizona, Missouri, and South Dakota Departments of Insurance and other regulators. The “risk-based capital” system establishes a framework for evaluating the adequacy of the minimum amount of capital and surplus, calculated in accordance with statutory accounting principles, necessary for an insurance company to support its overall business operations. It identifies insurers that may be inadequately capitalized by reviewing certain inherent risks of each insurer’s assets and liabilities and its mix of net premiums written. Insurers falling below a calculated threshold may be subject to varying degrees of regulatory action, including supervision, rehabilitation, or liquidation. If any of American Life, Capital Reserve, or Great Plains Life fails to maintain required capital levels in accordance with the “risk-based capital” system, such company’s ability to conduct business would be compromised and the ability of Midwest to seek to expand its insurance business would be reduced absent a prompt infusion of capital to the insurance subsidiary.

Midwest’s investments in development stage companies may expose it to loss of capital and conflicts of interest for its officers, directors and affiliates who serve in officer and director capacities for those development stage entities.

In addition to its current 22.3% investment in First Wyoming, Midwest has investments in development stage companies, which are either seeking to raise capital to form life insurance subsidiaries in their respective states of incorporation (Idaho, Minnesota and New Mexico). Midwest’s time and management attention devoted to these investments is significant, and it can be expected to divert management resources from the business of Midwest. There will likely be conflicts between the operations, strategies and long term objectives of these development stage companies and Midwest. The resolution of these conflicts may not be resolvable, or if resolved, may be at a disadvantage to the shareholders of Midwest. In addition, several of the officers, directors and affiliates of Midwest serve as officers, directors and consultants to these development stage entities and they individually acquire stock in these entities at low prices compared to the other shareholders in these entities who buy their shares at much higher prices and upon whom the financial risk of all these companies rests. Also, executive officers of Midwest are paid directly by these development stage entities in addition to what Midwest pays them for their services. All of these factors result in conflicts of interests between the interests of Midwest and the interests of these companies, as well as the interests of affiliates of Midwest in personal payment of salaries of these entities in addition to what Midwest pays such persons at present. Midwest cannot assure that these conflicts will be resolved to the benefit of Midwest, in which case an investment in Midwest voting common stock may decline in value.

The insurance industry is subject to numerous laws and regulations, and compliance costs and/or changes in the regulatory environment could adversely affect the business of Midwest.

Midwest’s insurance operations are subject to government regulation in each of the states in which it and its subsidiaries conduct business. Such regulatory authority is vested in state agencies having broad administrative power dealing with all aspects of the insurance business, including premium rates, policy forms, and capital adequacy, and is concerned primarily with the protection of policyholders rather than shareholders. During the past several years, increased scrutiny has been placed upon the insurance regulatory framework, and certain state legislatures have considered or enacted laws that alter, and in many cases increase, state authority to regulate insurance companies and insurance holding company systems. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (the NAIC) and state insurance regulators reexamine existing laws and regulations on an ongoing basis, and focus on insurance company investments and solvency issues, risk-based capital guidelines, interpretations of existing laws, the development of new laws, the implementation of non-statutory guidelines and the circumstances under which dividends may be paid. Future NAIC initiatives, and other regulatory changes, could have a material adverse impact on Midwest’s insurance business. There can be no assurance that Midwest’s insurance subsidiaries will be able to satisfy the regulatory requirements of the Departments of Insurance of their respective state of domicile or a similar department in any other state in which it may wish to transact business.

Individual state guaranty associations assess insurance companies to pay benefits to policyholders of insolvent or failed insurance companies. The impact of such assessments may be partly offset by credits against future state premium taxes. Midwest cannot predict the amount of any future assessments, nor has Midwest attempted to estimate the amount of assessments to be made from known insolvencies.

On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed into law financial regulatory reform legislation, known as the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”). The Dodd-Frank Act reshapes financial regulations in the United States by creating new regulators, regulating new markets and firms, and providing new enforcement powers to regulators. Virtually all major areas of the Dodd-Frank Act will be subject to regulatory interpretation and implementation rules requiring rulemaking that may take several years to complete.

Midwest operates in a highly competitive industry, and its business will suffer if it is unable to compete effectively.

The operating results of life insurance companies are subject to significant fluctuations due to competition, economic conditions, interest rates, investment performance, maintenance of insurance ratings from rating agencies such as A.M. Best and other factors. The life insurance business is highly competitive. The ability of Midwest to compete with other insurance companies is dependent upon, among other things, its ability to attract and retain agents to market insurance products, its ability to develop competitive and profitable products and its ability to obtain acceptable ratings. In connection with the development and sale of products, Midwest’s life insurance subsidiaries encounter significant competition from other insurance companies, most of whom have financial and human resources substantially greater than Midwest, as well as competition from other investment alternatives available to customers. Midwest does not anticipate that American Life, Capital Reserve or Great Plains Life will be rated by industry analysts for several years. This will likely have a negative impact on their ability to compete with rated insurance companies.

Midwest’s insurance subsidiaries compete with up to 2,000 other life insurance companies in the United States, and American Life also competes with some of these companies internationally, which are forcing increased competitive pressures due to industry consolidation, where larger, more efficient organizations emerging from consolidation. Additionally, legislation became effective in 2000 permitting commercial banks, insurance companies and investment banks to combine. This law permits, for instance, a commercial bank to acquire or form an insurance company.

Most life insurance companies have greater financial resources, longer business histories, and more diversified lines of insurance coverage than the insurance subsidiaries of Midwest have. These larger companies also generally have large sales forces. Midwest also faces competition from companies operating in foreign countries and marketing in person as well as from direct mail sales campaigns.

Midwest’s ability to compete is dependent upon, among other things, its ability:

to market its insurance products;
 
to develop competitive and profitable products; and
 
to achieve efficient costs of placing policies.

-11-



Midwest is highly dependent upon its Chief Executive Officer, and the loss of this officer could materially and adversely affect its business.

Midwest’s ability to operate successfully is dependent primarily upon the efforts of Mark A. Oliver, its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Executive Officer of American Life. The loss of the services of Mr. Oliver could have a material adverse effect on the ability of Midwest to execute its business plan.

Development of life insurance products involves the use of certain assumptions, and the inaccuracy of these assumptions could adversely affect profitability.

In its life insurance business, Midwest must make certain assumptions as to expected mortality, lapse rates and other factors in developing the pricing and other terms of life insurance products. These assumptions are based on industry experience and are reviewed and revised regularly to reflect actual experience on a current basis. However, variation of actual experience from that assumed in developing such terms may affect a product’s profitability or sales volume and in turn adversely impact revenues of Midwest.

If Midwest underestimates its liability for future policy benefits, its results of operations could suffer.

Liabilities established for future life insurance policy benefits are based upon a number of factors, including certain assumptions, such as mortality, morbidity, lapse rate and crediting rate. If Midwest underestimates future policy benefits, Midwest would incur additional expenses at the time it becomes aware of the inadequacy. As a result, Midwest’s ability to achieve profits would suffer.

Midwest’s insurance subsidiaries may not be able to obtain favorable insurance ratings.

Insurance ratings are an important factor in establishing the competitive position of insurance companies. Ratings reflect the rating agencies’ opinion of an insurance company’s financial strength, operating performance and ability to meet its obligations to policyholders. The Midwest insurance subsidiaries will not receive a rating until they have maintained operations for a minimum of three to five years. There can be no assurance that the Midwest insurance subsidiaries will be rated by a rating agency or that any rating, if and when received, will be favorable to the Midwest insurance subsidiary. The lack of a rating could impact the ability to make sales in the broad insurance marketplace. For example, potential insureds may choose not to purchase a policy from an unrated company, or the Midwest insurance subsidiaries may be required to charge lower rates and offer discounts to attract business, which in turn adversely affects Midwest’s results of operations.

Fluctuations in interest rates could adversely affect Midwest’s business and profitability.

Interest rate fluctuations could impair an insurance company’s ability to pay policyholder benefits with operating and investment cash flows, cash on hand and other cash sources. The Midwest annuity product exposes it to the risk that changes in interest rates will reduce any spread, or the difference between the amounts that the insurance company is required to pay under the contracts and the amounts the insurance subsidiary is able to earn on its investments intended to support its obligations under the contracts. Spread is a key component of our revenues.

To the extent that interest rates credited are less than those generally available in the marketplace, policyholder lapses, policy loans and surrenders, and withdrawals of life insurance policies and annuity contracts may increase as contract holders seek to purchase products with perceived higher returns. This process may result in cash outflows requiring that a Midwest insurance subsidiary sell investments at a time when the prices of those investments are adversely affected by the increase in market interest rates, which may result in realized investment losses.

Increases in market interest rates may also negatively affect profitability. In periods of increasing interest rates, Midwest may not be able to replace invested assets with higher yielding assets needed to fund the higher crediting rates that may be necessary to keep interest sensitive products competitive. The Midwest life insurance subsidiaries therefore may have to accept a lower spread and thus lower profitability or face a decline in sales and greater loss of existing contracts.

-12-



Midwest’s investments are subject to risks of default and reductions in market values.

Midwest is subject to credit risk in our investment portfolio. Defaults by third parties in the payment or performance of their obligations under these securities could reduce our investment income and realized investment gains or result in the recognition of investment losses. The value of our investments may be materially adversely affected by increases in interest rates, downgrades in the bonds included in our portfolio, financial market performance, general economic conditions, and by other factors that may result in the recognition of other-than-temporary impairments. Each of these events may cause Midwest to reduce the carrying value of our investment portfolio and may adversely affect Midwest’s results of operations.

Reinsurers with which Midwest does business may not honor their obligations, leaving Midwest liable for the reinsured coverage, and Midwest’s reinsurers could increase their premium rates.

Midwest’s life insurance subsidiaries cede a substantial amount of their insurance to other insurance companies. However, the relevant life insurance subsidiary remains liable with respect to ceded insurance should any reinsurer fail to meet the obligations assumed by it. The cost of reinsurance is, in some cases, reflected in its premium rates. Under certain reinsurance agreements, the reinsurer may increase the rate it charges the relevant Midwest life insurance subsidiary for the reinsurance. However, if the cost of reinsurance were to increase with respect to policies for which the relevant Midwest life insurance subsidiary has guaranteed the rates, the relevant life insurance subsidiary could be adversely affected, which would in turn adversely affect Midwest.

Changes in the tax laws could adversely affect Midwest’s business.

Congress has from time to time considered possible legislation that would eliminate the deferral of taxation on the accretion of value within certain annuities and life insurance products. This and similar legislation, including a simplified “flat tax” income tax structure with an exemption from taxation for investment income, could adversely affect the sale of life insurance compared with other financial products if such legislation were to be enacted. There can be no assurance as to whether such legislation will be enacted or, if enacted, whether such legislation would contain provisions with possible adverse effects on any annuity and life insurance products that Midwest and its operating subsidiaries develop.

Under the Internal Revenue Code, income taxes payable by policyholders on investment earnings are deferred during the accumulation period of certain life insurance and annuity products. This favorable tax treatment may give certain insurance products a competitive advantage over other non-insurance products. To the extent that the Internal Revenue Code may be revised to reduce the tax-deferred status of life insurance and annuity products, or to increase the tax-deferred status of competing products, all life insurance companies, including those owned by Midwest, would be adversely affected with respect to their ability to sell insurance products. Also, depending on grandfathering provisions, the surrenders of existing annuity contracts and life insurance policies might increase. In addition, life insurance products are often used to fund estate tax obligations. Midwest cannot predict what future tax initiatives may be proposed with respect to the estate tax or other taxes which may adversely affect Midwest.

Midwest does not intend to declare cash dividends on shares of its stock for the foreseeable future.

Midwest has never paid a cash dividend on its voting common stock and it does not anticipate paying dividends for the foreseeable future. Midwest intends to retain available funds to be used in the expansion of operations. Future dividend policy will depend on earnings, capital requirements, financial condition and other relevant factors. Moreover, Midwest is a holding company without independent operations and generates no cash flow from its operations.

Because Midwest does not intend to pay cash dividends for the foreseeable future, shareholders will benefit from an investment in Midwest voting common stock only if the stock appreciates in value.

Because Midwest does not expect to pay any cash dividends for the foreseeable future, the success of any investment in its voting common stock will depend upon any future appreciation in its value. Midwest cannot assure that its voting common stock will appreciate in value or even achieve or maintain a value equal to the price at which shares were purchased.

-13-



Midwest, as a holding company, is dependent upon cash payments from its subsidiaries.

Midwest expects a source of cash to it will be dividends on the stock of its operating subsidiaries. The payment of dividends to Midwest by its operating subsidiaries is subject to limitations imposed by applicable insurance laws. For example, with respect to American Life, “extraordinary” dividends may not be paid without permission of the Arizona Department of Insurance. An “extraordinary” dividend is defined, in general, as any distribution of cash or other property whose fair market value, compared with that of other distributions made within the preceding 12 months, exceeds the greater of (i) 10% of the policyholders surplus (total statutory capital stock and surplus) as of December 31 of the preceding year or (ii) the statutory net gain from operations excluding realized gains on investments) of the insurer for the 12 month period ending December 31 of the preceding year. Arizona insurance laws also require that dividends on capital stock must be paid out of surplus, which is calculated after reserving a sum equal to all liabilities of the insurance company and may include all or part of surplus arising from unrealized capital gains or revaluation of assets. If Midwest were unable to receive cash dividends from its subsidiaries its liquidity would be adversely affected.

The business and future growth prospects of Midwest may suffer if the acquisition of First Wyoming does not achieve expected results.

Midwest’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be negatively affected if: (i) the acquisition of First Wyoming does not achieve anticipated cost savings, revenues or cash flows; (ii) Midwest assumes liabilities that were not disclosed or exceed estimates; (iii) Midwest is unable to integrate the acquired businesses successfully and realize anticipated economic, operational and other benefits in a timely manner; (iv) the acquisitions disrupt Midwest’s on-going business, distracts management or diverts resources from other more beneficial uses; (v) Midwest experiences difficulties operating in markets in which it has no or only limited direct experience; or (vi) there is a loss of policyholders of First Wyoming.

The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement have been structured so as to result in a tax-deferred issuance of Midwest voting common stock. However, there can be no assurances in this regard, and if tax-deferred treatment were to be denied, you could owe federal income taxes on any gain deemed to be realized by you upon the issuance of your Midwest voting common stock.

Together with the subsequent merger of First Wyoming into Midwest immediately after the merger, but as an integral part thereof, the merger is intended to result in a tax-deferred issuance of Midwest voting common stock. However, neither Midwest nor First Wyoming has obtained a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service concerning whether the merger and the subsequent merger on a combined basis will in fact be treated as a tax-deferred issuance of Midwest stock. Midwest will, however, obtain an opinion of counsel which will support the conclusions contained in this proxy statement – prospectus regarding the material federal income tax consequences of the merger and the subsequent merger, on a combined basis. You should understand that an opinion of counsel represents counsel’s best legal judgment and is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or any court and the Internal Revenue Service could assert successfully a contrary position which could be sustained by a court. Also, the conditions and assumptions upon which counsel’s opinion is qualified may not continue to exist and the laws or regulations affecting the material federal income tax consequences of the merger may change. In either event, the tax aspects of the merger may be adversely affected, and such effect may be materially adverse to First Wyoming shareholders. As a result, there can be no assurance that the merger will be accorded the tax treatment intended and that you will realize the tax consequences described in this proxy statement – prospectus. See "Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences" at page 26.

-14-



Holders of Midwest voting common stock received in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement will be minority stockholders of Midwest who will not control Midwest, will have a limited ability to influence Midwest’s business policies and corporate actions, and will not be able to elect any directors of Midwest.

Assuming all shares of First Wyoming are converted for voting common stock of Midwest (other than shares already held by Midwest) former shareholders of First Wyoming will own approximately 26.6% of the Midwest voting common stock, or a minority of such shares. It will be difficult for minority stockholders of Midwest to elect any of its directors or otherwise exert influence over its business. Midwest’s outstanding voting common stock elects the board of directors of Midwest and each director is elected by a plurality vote. The Midwest board of directors, as a practical matter, has effective control over significant corporate transactions of Midwest. Additionally, shareholders of Midwest do not have cumulative voting rights with respect to the election of directors. These factors would also make it more difficult and time consuming for a third party to acquire control of Midwest or to change the board of directors of Midwest.

Policy lapses in excess of those actuarially anticipated would have a negative impact on Midwest’s financial performance.

The profitability of Midwest could be reduced if its lapse and surrender rate were to exceed the assumptions upon which it priced its insurance policies. Policy sales costs are deferred and recognized over the life of a policy. Excess policy lapses, however, cause the immediate expensing or amortizing of deferred policy sales costs.

The insurance industry is highly regulated and Midwest’s activities are restricted as a result. Midwest expends substantial amounts of time and incurs substantial expenses in connection with complying with applicable regulations, and Midwest is subject to the risk that more burdensome regulations could be imposed on it.

Compliance with insurance regulation by Midwest is costly and time consuming. Insurance companies in the U.S. are subject to extensive regulation in the states where they do business. This regulation primarily protects policyholders rather than stockholders. The regulations require:

prior approval of acquisitions of insurance companies;
 
certain solvency standards; licensing of insurers and their agents; investment limitations;
 
deposits of securities for the benefit of policyholders;
 
approval of policy forms and premium rates;
 
periodic examinations; and
 
reserves for unearned premiums, losses and other matters.

Each Midwest life insurance subsidiary is subject to this regulation in each state in the U.S. in which it is licensed to do business. This regulation involves significant additional costs and restricts operations. Midwest cannot predict the form of any future regulatory initiatives but its time and costs to comply with existing regulations and regulatory oversight are significant.

In addition, Midwest itself, as the owner of a life insurance subsidiary, is regulated by the Arizona Department of Insurance under the Arizona Insurance Holding Company Systems Act. Certain "extraordinary" intercorporate transfers of assets and dividend payments from its life insurance subsidiaries require prior approval by the Arizona Insurance Commissioner. Midwest also files detailed annual reports with the Arizona Department of Insurance and all of the states in which it is licensed. The business and accounts of its life insurance subsidiaries are subject to examination by the Arizona Department of Insurance, as well as inquiries and follow up, including investigations, of the various insurance regulatory authorities of the states in which Midwest's insurance subsidiaries are licensed.

-15-



Each insurance subsidiary of Midwest is qualified to do business as an insurance company only in the U.S. Neither Midwest nor any of its subsidiaries have any assets or employees in foreign countries. In connection with business from foreign countries, Midwest only accepts applications at its main office. In addition, Midwest requires premium payments to be in U.S. dollars, which may include checks drawn on U.S. banks. Neither Midwest nor any of its subsidiaries are not currently subject to regulation in the various foreign countries from which it receives applications for insurance. Although American Life provides a small amount of insurance to foreign citizens, independent marketing firms, rather than employees of Midwest or American Life, submit the applications. In this way Midwest and American Life avoid conducting business in foreign countries. However, Midwest is unable to predict if foreign regulation will be implemented and, if so, the effect of any such regulation on its life insurance business.

There are a substantial number of shares of Midwest common stock eligible for future sale in the public market. The sale of a large number of these shares could cause the market price of our common stock to fall.

There were 13,212,653 shares of Midwest voting common stock outstanding as of September 9, 2015. As of that date, nearly all outstanding shares may be sold without restriction, our executive officers and directors beneficially owned approximately 544,736 shares of our voting common stock, representing 4.1% of Midwest’s outstanding voting common stock. Sale of a substantial number of these shares would likely have a significant negative effect on the market price of its voting common stock, particularly if the sales are made over a short period of time.

If Midwest shareholders, particularly management and their affiliates, sell a large number of shares of Midwest's voting common stock, the market price of shares of the voting common stock of Midwest could decline significantly. Moreover, the perception in the public market that Midwest's management and affiliates might sell shares of Midwest voting common stock could depress the market price of those shares.

PROPOSED MERGER

BACKGROUND AND REASONS

First Wyoming was incorporated in Wyoming on July 8, 2009, for the primary purpose of organizing a life insurance subsidiary. Until mid 2012, First Wyoming raised equity capital through the sale of its common stock so it could form a life insurance company, First Wyoming Life Insurance Company (“First Wyoming Life”) domiciled in Wyoming, which began issuing life insurance policies on August 17, 2012. Midwest was one of initial shareholders of First Wyoming and has owned approximately 22.3% of the common shares of First Wyoming since December 31, 2014.

As a small life insurer with limited products and resources, it has been difficult for First Wyoming Life to recruit new marketing representatives in Wyoming. The First Wyoming Board and management has continued looking for ways to write life insurance business and to expand beyond Wyoming because in order to build First Wyoming to a profitable level, First Wyoming Life must grow and expand beyond the borders of Wyoming.

On January 29, 2015, Mark Oliver, CEO and Board Member of Midwest and First Wyoming, and Les Meyer, President and Board Member of First Wyoming and Board Member of Midwest, met with representatives of the Wyoming Department of Insurance, including the recently appointed Insurance Commissioner, to discuss the progress of First Wyoming Life. One of the topics of discussion was the location of administrative operations of First Wyoming Life. Wyoming law requires that predominately all administrative tasks be performed in the State. Management had worked with the Wyoming Insurance Department during the course of First Wyoming Life’s development to keep as many functions at the offices in Cheyenne as were economically feasible until such time as First Wyoming Life grew to a point that it could afford to incur the overhead necessary to hire a full staff in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Since mid 2012, Midwest has been performing many of the administrative functions for First Wyoming Life pursuant to an administrative services agreement.

During the meeting, representatives of the Wyoming Insurance Department emphasized that First Wyoming Life would need to significantly increase its administrative operations in Cheyenne in the near future, which would entail significant additional ongoing expenses for First Wyoming Life. Since Midwest became engaged as the third party administrator for First Wyoming life in mid 2012, administrative expenses have averaged $250,000 annually, excluding management salaries, licenses and professional fees. Management advised that if First Wyoming Life incurred the full panoply of administrative functions that the costs of these functions would be prohibitive to a small life insurance company.

On April 14, 2015, First Wyoming’s Board met to review the financial results for the year ended December 31, 2014 and to discuss the pressing needs to ramp up administrative functions of First Wyoming Life as well as the timing and associated costs. At that meeting, the administrative operating requirements of First Wyoming Life were discussed at length as well as costs and possible options to achieve expected administrative functions in Wyoming. Also discussed were alternatives, such as selling First Wyoming Life or a potential merger of First Wyoming to another entity. A follow up conference call of the First Wyoming Board was scheduled for April 23, 2015.

At the April 23, 2015 First Wyoming Board call, after much discussion of the issues involved in seeking to establish administrative functions of First Wyoming Life in Wyoming, the Board requested Mr. Oliver to perform a more specific analysis of the costs associated with hiring qualified individuals to perform the administrative functions currently being performed by the current third party administrator (Midwest) as well as the other administrative functions that the Wyoming Department expected First Wyoming Life to perform on its own in Wyoming and what the cost differential was. A follow up Board call was scheduled for April 30, 2015. In the meantime, Mr. Oliver provided an analysis to the Board that showed the cost to have full administrative functions in Cheyenne, Wyoming would range from $700,000 to $900,000 per year, significantly more than current operating costs. These costs included several functions that First Wyoming does not undertake due to the small size such as underwriting, policy service and accounting.

-19-



In the April 30 th call, the Board discussed the cost analysis prepared by Mr. Oliver. Despite these significant costs, the Board expressed a preference to seek a solution that would permit First Wyoming Life to remain true to the mission of building a Wyoming life insurer. At the request of the Board, management agreed to meet with the Governor of Wyoming and his staff to determine if there were any other administrative or legislative options available. Additionally, the Board asked Mr. Oliver to prepare exchange value comparisons of First Wyoming and Midwest to see what an exchange of shares might look like.

An outside First Wyoming Board member, Lex Madden, secured a meeting with Governor Mead and his senior staff that occurred May 21, 2015. First Wyoming Board Members Oliver, Rick Meyer and Les Meyer joined Mr. Madden at the meeting, which was also attended by Wyoming Insurance Commissioner and his senior staff. During the meeting the parties discussed the issues related to home office administrative requirements in Wyoming. The representatives of the State urged First Wyoming Life to commit to a date that it believed would be workable to have all administrative functions in the state. Furthermore, all parties concurred that a date where all administrative operations were performed in Wyoming would likely have to be within 24 months.

There was significant discussion regarding the option of seeking legislative relief through an amendment to the Wyoming insurance statute. After deliberation and the advice of two Board members who are experienced lobbyists, this alternative was deemed unlikely to succeed.

On June 17, 2015, the First Wyoming Board held a teleconference to discuss the results of the May 21 st meeting and other options available to First Wyoming. Given the very high costs of full administrative functions in Cheyenne relative to the size of First Wyoming Life, it was the consensus of the Board that to commit to such costs would render First Wyoming Life economically unfeasible as it would consume the its available capital and surplus within a few years, leaving First Wyoming Life insolvent. The Board then considered and discussed at length other options, including a possible merger with Midwest and a possible subsequent merger of First Wyoming Life Insurance Company into American Life, Midwest’s primary life subsidiary. These actions would allow the shareholders of First Wyoming the opportunity to benefit from a more established entity with broader insurance operations. The First Wyoming Board indicated that it would expect American Life to become licensed in Wyoming should a merger proceed. Methods of valuations of Midwest and First Wyoming were discussed at length. Mr. Oliver proposed a valuation analysis that had been used in a number of similar transactions in the industry. The First Wyoming Board requested that Mr. Oliver have counsel prepare a merger agreement for review by the First Wyoming Board.

On June 29, 2015, Mr. Oliver presented the First Wyoming Life Board with a draft merger agreement. Under the draft merger agreement, a newly formed subsidiary of Midwest would be merged with and into First Wyoming with the First Wyoming shareholders receiving voting common shares of Midwest (other than Midwest and those shareholders who perfect appraisal rights). The proposed exchange centered primarily on a concept known as “exchange value” which the parties determined would be used because there was no measurable market value for either party’s outstanding common stock. Mr. Oliver informed the First Wyoming Board that the concept of “exchange value” has been used in the past in merger and acquisition transactions and had been used by companies he was affiliated with in the past. Mr. Oliver noted that the concept involved valuing not just the assets and capital structure of an insurance holding company, but also takes into account some of the more recognized valuable assets of a life insurance company such as book of business in force, the production of the agency of a particular life insurance company, and state licenses, none of which are ascribed any value on financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In addition, the analysis recognizes that different types of business may be worth more than others depending on profit margins, persistency of policies and claims on policies. The purpose of performing an evaluation was to arrive at a fair basis of exchange between the two companies, valuing both of them using the same methodology. Again, this was particularly appropriate where neither company has a readily measurable marketplace trading value. The valuation centered primarily on analysis of life insurance company assets including capital and surplus; asset valuation reserve; interest maintenance reserve; fair market value; invested assets; number of state licenses held by an insurance company; annual life premium produced by agencies; indebtedness; subsidiary values; life premiums; one-time collected premium if ordinary; annuity reserves; and other miscellaneous values. Based upon Mr. Oliver’s analysis, the exchange value of First Wyoming at June 30, 2015, was approximately $4.536 million or $1.12 per share and the exchange value of Midwest at June 30, 2015, was $10.709 million or $0.82 per share, with an exchange ratio of 1.37 Midwest voting common shares for each common share of First Wyoming. Midwest’s ownership in First Wyoming would be cancelled.

-20-



The resulting values were reviewed carefully at length by the First Wyoming Board and discussed. Also discussed at length were how the exchange of shares would be made to First Wyoming shareholders, and the tax consequences of the proposed combination of the two companies. The Board of First Wyoming discussed at large the proposed valuation of the companies and fairness of the exchange ratio to the shareholders of First Wyoming. Also discussed were the short-term and long-term plans of Midwest and First Wyoming, the non-taxability of the proposed merger, and the advantages of First Wyoming combining with a larger company in order to seek to obtain better shareholder liquidity for the shareholders of First Wyoming.

The First Wyoming Board not affiliated with Midwest conferred informally with one another about various aspects of the Merger Agreement. The Board of First Wyoming agreed to the final total value per share for purposes of the exchange. The Board members not affiliated with Midwest determined that the exchange ratio was fair to the shareholders of First Wyoming and directed First Wyoming management to execute the proposed Merger Agreement and proceed with the transactions contemplated thereunder, including holding a meeting of the shareholders of First Wyoming.

In connection with the deliberation by the First Wyoming Board of the Merger Agreement, members of the First Wyoming Board who were affiliated with Midwest participated in the discussions concerning the Merger Agreement, but did not vote on the recommendation to approve the merger agreement and submit it to shareholders for their approval.

-21-



RECOMMENDATION OF THE FIRST WYOMING BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The First Wyoming Board of Directors RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE MERGER, The Board believes that the ratio of the share exchange is fair to the First Wyoming shareholders. The management and Board of Directors of First Wyoming, after careful study and evaluation of the economic, financial, legal and market factors, also believe that the merger could provide Midwest with increased opportunity for profitable expansion of its business, which in turn should benefit First Wyoming shareholders who become shareholders of Midwest.

The terms of the Merger Agreement were the result of arm's-length negotiations between Midwest and First Wyoming after a significant effort by the First Wyoming Board and Midwest management. Among the factors considered by the First Wyoming Board in deciding to approve and recommend the merger were:

1.        The terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, which the First Wyoming Board and management believes results in a fair price for the First Wyoming shares;
 
2. The financial condition, business assets and liabilities and management experience of Midwest;
 
3. The financial and business prospects of Midwest;
 
4. The potential to increase liquidity to First Wyoming shareholders;
 
5. Economies of scale available in the event of combination of the companies including, in particular, reduction in general administrative costs and in the total number of regulatory filings and administrative costs;
 
6. The familiarly of the First Wyoming Board of Directors with and review of First Wyoming and Midwest; the business, operations, financial condition, earnings and prospects of Midwest;
 
7. The expectation that the merger will be a tax-deferred transaction to First Wyoming and its shareholders (see "Certain Federal Income Tax Considerations");
 
8. The current and prospective economic environment and competitive constraints facing small insurance companies, including First Wyoming Life;
 
9. The First Wyoming Board of Directors' evaluation of the risks to consummation of the merger, including the risks associated with obtaining necessary regulatory approvals;
 
10. The possible alternatives to the merger the range of possible values to the First Wyoming shareholders of such alternatives, and the timing and likelihood of actually receiving, and risks and rewards associated with seeking to obtain, those values; and
 
11. The fact that the First Wyoming Board members not affiliated with Midwest had observed Midwest management for several years and considered Midwest management to be competent and able to operate small start-up insurance companies.

The First Wyoming Board did not assign any specific or relative weight to these factors in its consideration. All of the above factors contributed in determining the consideration received.

The First Wyoming Board of Directors considers the merger particularly advantageous to First Wyoming shareholders in that shareholders will receive a security which, in the opinion of the First Wyoming Board, has the potential to achieve a greater growth and market value. The exchange of First Wyoming shares solely for Midwest shares is also intended to be a tax-deferred exchange, thereby giving First Wyoming shareholders the equity participation in Midwest without initially incurring taxes. See "Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences".

The First Wyoming Board of Directors made this determination without the assistance or cost of a financial adviser for a so-called "fairness opinion." The First Wyoming Board believes that it reviewed in sufficient depth the respective conditions of First Wyoming, Midwest and their subsidiaries as well as the terms of the Merger Agreement.

-22-



INTERESTS OF MIDWEST IN THE MERGER

In considering the recommendation of the First Wyoming Board with regard to the merger, First Wyoming shareholders should be aware that Midwest, a 22.3% owner of First Wyoming, expects that its third party administrative contract with First Wyoming insurance subsidiary will continue until a merger of First Wyoming Life is merged into American Life.

The members of the First Wyoming Board were aware of the foregoing interest and considered it, among other matters, in approving the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

The parties to the Merger Agreement believe that no regulatory approvals are required for the merger.

SUMMARY OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT

This is a summary of the Merger Agreement, which is incorporated herein and attached to this proxy statement-prospectus as Appendix A. You should read the Merger Agreement in addition to this summary. See also "Where you can find more Information" on page 1.

Delivery of Midwest Voting Common Stock; Closing Date. If the merger occurs, Midwest voting common stock will be available for distribution at a closing ("Closing") on a closing date ("Closing Date") as soon as possible after all regulatory approvals and shareholder approvals are obtained. In order for the merger to be consummated, the Merger Agreement must be approved by holders of a majority of the outstanding First Wyoming common stock. The merger will become effective ("Effective Date") on or as soon after the special meeting of First Wyoming’s shareholders as possible (assuming shareholder approval). It is presently anticipated that the Effective Date will occur on or before December 31, 2015, but there can be no assurance that the conditions to the merger will be satisfied and that the merger will be consummated on that date or any other date. The parties to the Merger Agreement have agreed to take all actions reasonably necessary to consummate the proposed transactions thereunder.

Representations, Warranties and Covenants; Legal Proceedings Disclosure . Each party to the Merger Agreement has represented to the other with respect to organization, good standing, capitalization and other related matters, as well as certain matters with respect to pending legal proceedings, none of which have been deemed materially adverse by Midwest.

Receipt of Midwest Shares - Procedures . If the Merger Agreement is approved at the special meeting, the shareholders who do not perfect appraisal rights will be notified of the approval and furnished with a "Letter of Transmittal" to send to an exchange agent ("Exchange Agent") that will be identified in the Letter of Transmittal. DO NOT SUBMIT YOUR FIRST WYOMING SHARES AT THIS TIME. If the merger is completed:

a Letter of Transmittal will be sent to you;
 

you should send in your shares with the Letter of Transmittal; and

 

the Exchange Agent will convert your shares in First Wyoming for Midwest voting common stock in the appropriate ratio set forth in the Merger Agreement after it receives your Letter of Transmittal and your stock certificates.

Exchange Agent . First Wyoming has appointed Computershare (Midwest's current stock transfer agent) as its exchange agent in respect of the merger. The instructions accompanying the Letter of Transmittal will provide details for surrendering certificates for First Wyoming shares and the procedure for obtaining certificates for Midwest voting common stock, including instructions for obtaining certificates for Midwest voting common stock for lost or destroyed certificates.

-23-



Authorization of the Exchange Agent may be terminated by Midwest at any time after six months following the Effective Date. If terminated, any shares and funds held by the Exchange Agent for shareholders of First Wyoming will be transferred to Midwest or its designee, who will thereafter serve as Exchange Agent.

Shareholder Rights Prior to Share Issuance. The Exchange Agent will not be entitled to vote or exercise any rights of ownership of the First Wyoming shares held by it prior to the issuance of Midwest voting common stock to former holders of such shares, except that it will receive any distributions paid or distributed with respect to the First Wyoming shares for the account of the persons exchanging such shares. No distributions are expected with respect to Midwest voting common stock.

After the Effective Date, there will be no transfers on the First Wyoming stock transfer books of shares which were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date. If after the Effective Date certificates representing First Wyoming shares are properly presented to the Exchange Agent or directly to First Wyoming or Midwest, they will be converted for certificates representing Midwest voting common stock in the ratio set forth in the Merger Agreement attached as Appendix A.

Unclaimed Shares or Cash. If outstanding certificates for First Wyoming shares or payment for any fractional or dissenting shares are not claimed, they may be turned over to a governmental authority in accordance with the respective abandoned property laws of the various jurisdictions.

Abandoned property laws vary from state to state. However, to the extent it might be permitted by abandoned property and other applicable law, such unclaimed items shall become the property of Midwest (and to the extent not in its possession shall be paid over to it) free and clear of all claims or interest of any persons previously entitled to such items. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Exchange Agent nor any party to the Merger Agreement will be liable to any First Wyoming shareholder for amounts paid to any governmental authority having jurisdiction of such unclaimed item pursuant to abandoned property or other applicable laws of such jurisdiction.

Fractional Shares. Fractional shares of Midwest stock will not be issued under the Merger Agreement. Instead, fractional shares will be rounded up to the nearest whole share of Midwest voting common stock.

Accounting. It is anticipated that the merger will be accounted for as a business combination in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Other Conditions; Termination or Amendment of the Merger Agreement . In addition to shareholder approval of the Merger Agreement by the shareholders of First Wyoming, the obligations of Midwest and First Wyoming to complete the merger are subject to the satisfaction of a number of closing conditions, including:

performance by each party to the Merger Agreement of its respective obligations;
 

absence of any proceedings instituted or threatened to restrain, enjoin or prohibit the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement;

 

continued accuracy in all material respects of the representations and warranties made by each party in the Merger Agreement;

 
delivery of certain legal opinions and closing certificates; and
 

filing Articles of Merger consistent with the Merger Agreement, for the transaction with the requisite governmental authorities.

In addition, Midwest may decline to proceed with the Merger if appraisal rights are perfected by more than 2.5% of the outstanding First Wyoming shares.

Any party may waive its unsatisfied conditions to complete the merger, except those which are required by law (such as shareholder and regulatory approval).

-24-



The Merger Agreement may be terminated and abandoned at any time (whether before or after approval by the First Wyoming shareholders) by unanimous consent of Midwest and First Wyoming, or by any party for whose benefit a closing condition has not been satisfied or waived. Any terms or conditions of the Merger Agreement, except those required by law, may be waived by the board of directors of the party entitled to the benefit thereof.

The Merger Agreement may be amended by agreement of the Board of Directors of each party.

Expenses and Liability for Termination. Each of the parties to the Merger Agreement will pay its own fees and expenses incurred in connection with the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including costs incurred in connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement.

Status Regarding Possible Waiver, Modification, or Termination of Agreement. As of the date of this proxy statement-prospectus, to the best of the knowledge of the parties to the Merger Agreement, there are no conditions precedent which must be waived by any party in order for the merger to be consummated, nor does any party intend to seek to modify or terminate the Merger Agreement based on existing circumstances.

Conduct of Business Pending the Merger; Other Covenants of the Parties. First Wyoming and Midwest agreed that neither of them will, prior to the merger:

enter into any transactions except in the ordinary course of business;

 

pay any dividends nor increase the compensation of any officer or directors; or

 

enter into any transaction which would adversely affect its respective financial conditions.

Each party has agreed to provide the other with information as to any significant corporate developments during the term of the Merger Agreement and to promptly notify the other parties if it discovers that any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in the Merger Agreement or any document delivered in connection therewith was not true and correct in all material respects or became untrue or incorrect in any material respect. All of the parties to the Merger Agreement have agreed to take all such actions as may be reasonably necessary and appropriate in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

The First Wyoming Board of Directors, subject to its respective fiduciary obligations to its shareholders, has agreed to use best efforts to obtain the requisite approval of shareholders of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

Immediately following the merger, Midwest intends to merger First Wyoming into and with it. Following the merger and the merger of First Wyoming into Midwest, the former operations of First Wyoming will continue in its location and with the consolidation of computer data processing in Midwest’s system. Midwest will continue to evaluate the personnel, business practices and opportunities for First Wyoming Life and may make such changes as it deems appropriate, including consolidating operations of First Wyoming Life Insurance Company, First Wyoming’s life insurance subsidiary, with Midwest’s largest subsidiary, American Life & Security Corp. (“American Life”).

CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

The following discussion summarizes the material federal income tax consequences relevant to the issuance of shares of Midwest voting common stock for First Wyoming common stock pursuant to the merger and the subsequent merger of First Wyoming into Midwest immediately after the merger, but as an integral part thereof, which are generally applicable to holders of First Wyoming common stock. This discussion is based on currently existing provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), existing and proposed Treasury Regulations thereunder and current administrative rulings and court decisions, all of which are subject to change. Any such change, which may or may not be retroactive, could alter the tax consequences to First Wyoming shareholders, as described below. There can be no assurance that such changes will not occur.

Shareholders of First Wyoming should be aware that this discussion does not deal with all federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to particular shareholders in light of their particular circumstances, or to certain types of shareholders such as shareholders who are dealers in securities, who are banks or financial institutions, who are insurance companies, who are foreign persons, who are real estate investment trusts, who are regulated investment companies or mutual funds, who are tax-exempt organizations, who hold their stock as part of a position in a "straddle" or as part of a "hedging" or other integrated investment or risk reduction transaction, who are traders in securities that mark to market, who do not hold their stock as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code, or who acquired or will acquire their shares in connection with warrants, stock option or stock purchase plans or in other compensatory transactions. In addition, the following discussion does not address the tax consequences of the merger under foreign, state or local tax laws, the tax consequences of transactions effectuated prior or subsequent to or concurrently with, the merger or subsequent merger (whether or not any such transactions are undertaken in connection with the merger or subsequent merger), including any transaction in which shares of First Wyoming stock are acquired or shares of Midwest voting common stock are disposed of, the tax consequences of the alternative minimum tax provisions of the Code, or the tax consequences arising under the unearned income Medicare contribution tax pursuant to the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010. This discussion does not address the tax treatment of partnerships (or entities or arrangements that are treated as partnerships for United States federal income tax purposes) or persons that hold their First Wyoming common stock through partnerships or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If a partnership, including any entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes, holds shares of First Wyoming common stock, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in such partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Such partners and partnerships should consult their own tax advisors regarding the particular tax consequences of the transactions to them.

The term U.S. holder refers to a holder of First Wyoming common stock that is:

a citizen or individual resident of the U.S.;

 

a corporation or other entity taxable as a corporation created or organized under the laws of the U.S. or any of its political subdivisions;

 

a trust if (1) a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) the trust has made a valid election under the applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person; or

 

an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source.

For purposes of this discussion, a "non-U.S. holder" means an owner or beneficial owners of shares of First Wyoming common stock that is not a “U.S. holder”.

This discussion only applies to you if you are a U.S. holder.

FIRST WYOMING SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER, INCLUDING THE APPLICABLE FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM.

-26-



The parties are not requesting and will not request a ruling from the IRS in connection with the merger and subsequent merger. However, an opinion from counsel for Midwest is being issued as part of this Registration Statement that the merger of Midwest Acquisition into First Wyoming, with First Wyoming surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Midwest, and the subsequent merger of First Wyoming into Midwest immediately after the merger pursuant to a commitment in the merger agreement and as part of the plan of reorganization, on a combined basis should qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and that the tax consequences to First Wyoming shareholders described below should result therefrom. The tax opinion represents counsel’s best legal judgment and is not binding on the IRS or any court. There is no assurance that the IRS will not assert a contrary position to that expressed in the opinion of counsel or by the parties to the Merger Agreement regarding the tax consequences of the merger and subsequent merger, nor is there any assurance that the IRS would not prevail in the event the tax consequences of the merger and subsequent merger were litigated. The tax opinion does not address the tax consequences of the mergers to the shareholders of First Wyoming under alternative minimum tax laws, under applicable foreign, state or local income tax laws, or arising under the unearned income Medicare contribution provisions of the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010. The tax opinion is subject to certain assumptions and qualifications, including but not limited to the truth and accuracy of representations made by Midwest, First Wyoming and Midwest Acquisition, including representations in certain certificates to be delivered to counsel by the respective managements of Midwest, First Wyoming and Midwest Acquisition. If any of those assumptions, qualifications or representations are inaccurate, incomplete or untrue, or if any of the provisions of the merger agreement are breached, the conclusions contained in the opinion or stated below could be adversely affected.

The anticipated federal income tax consequences of the merger and subsequent merger to First Wyoming shareholders are as follows:

(a)     No gain or loss should be recognized by holders of First Wyoming common stock solely upon their receipt in the merger of Midwest voting common stock.
 
(b) The aggregate tax basis of Midwest voting common stock received by First Wyoming shareholders in the merger should be the same as the aggregate tax basis of the First Wyoming common stock surrendered therefor.
 
(c) The holding period of Midwest voting common stock received by each First Wyoming shareholder in the merger should include the period for which the First Wyoming common stock surrendered therefor was considered to be held.
 
(d) Cash received by the First Wyoming shareholders who properly exercise their appraisal rights should be treated as having been received in redemption of the shares so cashed out, and should result in taxable gain or loss, measured by the difference (if any) between the amount of cash received and such shareholder's adjusted tax basis in the First Wyoming common stock. Provided the shares were held as a capital asset at the time of the redemption, such gain or loss should constitute capital gain or loss. It is possible that for some shareholders, the distribution of cash may be treated as a dividend taxable as ordinary income. Rules applicable to redemptions are complex and dependent upon the specific factual circumstances particular to each shareholder. Consequently, each shareholder that may be subject to these rules should consult its tax advisor as to the application of these rules to the particular facts relevant to such shareholder.

RELATED TAX ISSUES

First Wyoming shareholders should be aware that the IRS may examine transactions occurring before, contemporaneously with, or after the merger and subsequent merger to determine whether reorganization treatment is appropriate, or in some cases to determine whether shareholders will be taxed on other economic benefits that are included as part of the overall transaction. Thus, loan transactions between parties, compensation arrangements, noncompete agreements, consulting agreements and other transactions could be reviewed by the IRS. Gain could also have to be recognized, if any First Wyoming shareholder was treated as receiving (directly or indirectly) in the transactions consideration other than Midwest voting common stock for the shareholder's First Wyoming stock. Furthermore, if the IRS were to establish as to some shareholders that part of Midwest voting common stock received in the merger is severable, resulting in a proportionally increased equity interest being received by other shareholders, the shareholders whose equity interests were deemed to be constructively increased may be treated as having received a taxable stock dividend.

-27-



A successful IRS challenge to the reorganization status of the merger and subsequent merger would result in shareholders recognizing taxable gain or loss with respect to each share of stock surrendered equal to the difference between the shareholder's adjusted tax basis in such shares and the fair market value, as of the effective time of the merger, of Midwest voting common stock received therefor. In such event, a shareholder's aggregate tax basis in Midwest voting common stock received would equal its fair market value, and the shareholder's holding period for such stock would begin the day after the transaction is completed.

Pursuant to Section 1.368-3(b) of the Regulations, the shareholders of First Wyoming may be required to file with their income tax returns for the year in which the merger is consummated, a statement which provides details pertinent to the nonrecognition of gain or loss arising from the merger and subsequent merger, including the cost or other basis of stock transferred in the merger and the fair market value of stock received in the merger. In addition, such shareholders will be required to retain permanent records of these facts.

Certain holders of First Wyoming common stock may be subject to backup withholding (currently at a rate of 28%) on amounts received pursuant to the merger. Backup withholding will not apply, however, to a First Wyoming shareholder who provides a correct taxpayer identification number, a certificate of foreign status and certain other required information, or comes within certain exempt categories and, in each case, complies with applicable certification requirements. In addition to being subject to backup withholding, if a First Wyoming shareholder does not provide Midwest (or the exchange agent) with his or her correct taxpayer identification number or a certificate of foreign status or other required information, the shareholder may be subject to penalties imposed by the IRS. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against the shareholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that the shareholder furnishes certain required information to the IRS.

THE SUMMARY OF MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES SET FORTH ABOVE IS INTENDED TO PROVIDE ONLY A GENERAL SUMMARY OF THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGERS AND IS NOT INTENDED TO BE A COMPLETE ANALYSIS OR DESCRIPTION OF ALL POTENTIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGERS. IN ADDITION, THE SUMMARY DOES NOT ADDRESS TAX CONSEQUENCES THAT MAY VARY WITH OR ARE CONTINGENT ON, INDIVIDUAL CIRCUMSTANCES. MOREOVER, THE SUMMARY DOES NOT ADDRESS ANY NON-INCOME TAX OR ANY FOREIGN, STATE, LOCAL OR OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGERS. ACCORDINGLY, EACH FIRST WYOMING SHAREHOLDER IS URGED TO CONSULT HIS OR HER OWN TAX ADVISOR TO DETERMINE THE PARTICULAR FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN INCOME, REPORTING OR OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGERS TO THAT SHAREHOLDER.

RIGHTS OF DISSENTING SHAREHOLDERS

The following summary of appraisal rights available to First Wyoming common shareholders identifies and discusses information necessary to perfect appraisal rights. However, with respect to holders of First Wyoming common stock, this summary is not intended to be a complete statement of applicable Wyoming law and is qualified in its entirety by reference to §17-16-1301 through 17-16-1340 of the Wyoming Business Corporation Act, set forth in its entirety in Appendix B.

MIDWEST HAS CONDITIONED THE CLOSING OF THE MERGER, SUBJECT TO ITS RIGHT TO WAIVE, AND HAS RESERVED THE RIGHT TO ABANDON THE MERGER IN THE EVENT THAT HOLDERS OF GREATER THAN 2.5% OF THE OUTSTANDING COMMON SHARES OF FIRST WYOMING DISSENT AND SEEK PAYMENT FOR THEIR SHARES IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPROPRIATE LAW.

IN ORDER TO EXERCISE APPRAISAL OF DISSENTERS’ RIGHTS A FIRST WYOMING SHAREHOLDER MUST FULLY AND EXACTLY COMPLY WITH THE STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS DISCUSSED BELOW AND SET FORTH IN APPENDIX B. MIDWEST AND FIRST WYOMING URGE SHAREHOLDERS TO READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS DISCUSSION AND THE STATUTORY PROVISIONS ATTACHED AS APPENDIX B.

APPRAISAL RIGHTS (Dissenter Rights) – FIRST WYOMING

The following is a summary of appraisal rights available to First Wyoming common shareholders, which summary is not intended to be a complete statement of applicable Wyoming law and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Article 13 of the Wyoming Business Corporation Act ("WBCA"), which is set forth in its entirety as Appendix B.

Right to Dissent

First Wyoming shareholders are entitled to dissent from the merger and obtain payment of the fair value of their shares if and when the merger is effectuated. "Fair value," with respect to a dissenter's shares, means the value of the shares immediately before the effective time of the merger, excluding any appreciation or depreciation in anticipation of the merger except to the extent that exclusion would be inequitable. Under Article 13 of the WBCA, a shareholder entitled to dissent and obtain payment for his, her or its shares may not also challenge the corporate action creating the right to dissent unless the action is unlawful or fraudulent with respect to the shareholder or the corporation.

Under Section 7-16-1303(a) of the WBCA a record shareholder may assert dissenters' rights as to fewer than all shares registered in the record shareholder's name only if the record shareholder dissents with respect to all shares beneficially owned by any one person and causes the corporation to receive written notice which states such dissent and the name, address and federal taxpayer identification number, if any, of each person on whose behalf the record shareholder asserts dissenters' rights.

Section 7-16-1303(b) of the WBCA provides that a beneficial shareholder may assert dissenters' rights as to the shares held on the beneficial shareholder's behalf only if (a) the beneficial shareholder causes the corporation to receive the record shareholder's written consent to the dissent not later than the time the beneficial shareholder asserts dissenters' rights and (b) the beneficial shareholder dissents with respect to all shares beneficially owned by the beneficial shareholder.

First Wyoming will require that, when a record shareholder dissents with respect to the shares held by any one or more beneficial shareholders, each such beneficial shareholder must certify to First Wyoming that the beneficial shareholder has asserted, or will timely assert, dissenters' rights as to all such shares as to which there is no limitation on the ability to exercise dissenters' rights.

-29-



Procedure for Exercise of Dissenters' Rights

The notice accompanying this proxy statement – prospectus states that shareholders of First Wyoming are entitled to assert dissenters' rights under Article 13 of the WBCA. A First Wyoming shareholder who wishes to assert dissenters' rights shall: (a) cause First Wyoming to receive before the vote is taken on the merger at the special meeting, written notice of the shareholder's intention to demand payment for the shareholder's shares if the merger is effectuated; and (b) not vote the shares in favor of the merger. A First Wyoming shareholder who does not satisfy the foregoing requirements will not be entitled to demand payment for his or her shares under Article 13 of the WBCA.

Dissenters' Notice

If the merger is approved at the special meeting, First Wyoming will send written notice to dissenters who are entitled to demand payment for their shares. The notice required by First Wyoming will be given no later than 10 days after the effective time and will: (a) state that the merger was authorized and state the effective time or proposed effective date of the merger, (b) set forth an address at which First Wyoming will receive payment demands and the address of a place where certificates must be deposited, (c) supply a form for demanding payment, which form shall request a dissenter to state an address to which payment is to be made, (d) set the date by which First Wyoming must receive the payment demand and certificates for shares, which date will not be less than 30 days nor more than 60 days after the date the notice is given, (e) state that if a record First Wyoming shareholder dissents with respect to the shares held by any one or more beneficial shareholders each such beneficial shareholder must certify to First Wyoming that the beneficial shareholder and the record shareholder or record shareholders of all shares owned beneficially by the beneficial shareholder have asserted, or will timely assert, dissenters' rights as to all such shares as to which there is no limitation of the ability to exercise dissenters' rights, and (f) be accompanied by a copy of Article 13 of the WBCA.

Procedure to Demand Payment

A shareholder who is given a dissenters' notice to assert dissenters' rights will, in accordance with the terms of the dissenters' notice, (a) cause First Wyoming to receive a payment demand (which may be a demand form supplied by First Wyoming and duly completed or other acceptable writing) and (b) deposit the shareholder's stock certificates. A shareholder who demands payment in accordance with the foregoing retains all rights of a shareholder, except the right to transfer the shares until the effective time, and has only the right to receive payment for the shares after the effective time. A demand for payment and deposit of certificates is irrevocable except that if the effective time does not occur within 60 days after the date set by First Wyoming by which it must receive the payment demand, First Wyoming will return the deposited certificates and release the transfer restrictions imposed. If the effective time occurs more than 60 days after the date set by First Wyoming by which it must receive the payment demand, then First Wyoming will send a new dissenters' notice. A First Wyoming shareholder who does not demand payment and deposit his or her First Wyoming share certificates as required by the date or dates set forth in the dissenters' notice will not be entitled to demand payment for his, her or its First Wyoming shares under Article 13 of the WBCA, in which case, pursuant to the merger agreement, he, she or it will receive cash consideration for each of his, her or its shares equal to the per share price received by non-dissenting shareholders.

Payment

At the effective time or upon receipt of a payment demand, whichever is later, First Wyoming will pay each dissenter who complied with the notice requirements referenced in the preceding paragraph, the First Wyoming estimate of the fair value of the dissenter's shares plus accrued interest. Payment shall be accompanied by an audited balance sheet as of the end of the most recent fiscal year of First Wyoming or, an audited income statement for that year, and an audited statement of changes in shareholders' equity for that year and an audited statement of cash flow for that year, as well as the latest available financial statements, if any, for the interim period, which interim financial statements will be unaudited. Payment will also be accompanied by a statement of the estimate by First Wyoming of the fair value of the shares and an explanation of how the interest was calculated, along with a statement of the dissenter's right to demand payment and a copy of Article 13 of the WBCA.

-30-



If Dissenter is Dissatisfied with Offer

If a dissenter disagrees with the First Wyoming payment or offer, such dissenter may give notice to First Wyoming in writing of the dissenter's estimate of the fair value of the dissenter's shares and of the amount of interest due and may demand payment of such estimate, less any payment made prior thereto, or reject the offer of First Wyoming and demand payment of the fair value of the shares and interest due if: (a) the dissenter believes that the amount paid or offered is less than the fair value of the shares or that the interest due was incorrectly calculated, (b) First Wyoming fails to make payment within 60 days after the date set by First Wyoming by which it must receive the payment demand or (c) First Wyoming does not return deposited certificates if the effective time is 60 days after the date set by First Wyoming by which the payment demand must be received by the shareholder asserting dissenter's rights. A dissenter waives the right to demand payment under this paragraph unless he or she causes First Wyoming to receive the notice referenced in this paragraph within 30 days after First Wyoming makes or offers payment for the shares of the dissenter, in which event, such dissenter will receive all cash for his or her First Wyoming shares in an amount equal to the amount paid or offered by First Wyoming.

Judicial Appraisal of Shares

If a demand for payment made by a dissenter as set forth above is unresolved, First Wyoming may, within 60 days after receiving the payment demand, commence a proceeding and petition a court to determine the fair value of the shares and accrued interest. If First Wyoming does not commence the proceeding within the 60 day period, it shall pay to each dissenter whose demand remains unresolved the amount demanded. First Wyoming must commence any proceeding described above in the District Court of the County of Laramie, Wyoming. First Wyoming must make all dissenters whose demands remain unresolved parties to the proceeding as in an action against their shares, and all parties shall be served with a copy of the petition. Jurisdiction in which the proceeding is commenced is plenary and exclusive. One or more persons may be appointed by the court as appraisers to receive evidence and recommend a decision on the question of fair value. The appraisers will have the power described in the court order appointing them. The parties to the proceeding will be entitled to the same discovery rights as parties in other civil proceedings. Each dissenter made a party to the proceeding will be entitled to judgment for the amount, if any, by which the court finds the fair value of the dissenter's shares, plus interest, to exceed the amount paid by First Wyoming, or for the fair value, plus interest, of a dissenter's shares for which First Wyoming elected to withhold payment.

Court and Counsel Fees

The court in an appraisal proceeding shall determine all costs of the proceeding, including the reasonable compensation and expenses of appraisers appointed by the court. The court will assess the costs against First Wyoming; except that the court may assess costs against all or some of the dissenters, in the amount the court finds equitable, to the extent the court finds that the dissenters acted arbitrarily, vexatiously, or not in good faith in demanding payment. The court may also assess the fees and expenses of counsel and experts for the respective parties, in amounts the court finds equitable: (a) against First Wyoming and in favor of the dissenters if the court finds that First Wyoming did not substantially comply with its obligations under the dissenter's rights statute, or (b) against either First Wyoming or one or more dissenters, in favor of any other party, if the court finds that the party against whom the fees and expenses are assessed acted arbitrarily, vexatiously or not in good faith with respect to the rights provided by Article 13 of the WBCA. If the court finds that the services of counsel for any dissenter were of substantial benefit to the other dissenters similarly situated, and that the fees for those services should not be assessed against First Wyoming, the court may award to such counsel reasonable fees to be paid out of the amount awarded to the dissenters who were benefited.

Any written notice required to be sent to First Wyoming by a First Wyoming shareholder electing to exercise his or her appraisal rights under Article 13 of the WBCA should be to Mark A. Oliver at the offices of First Wyoming, 205 Storey Boulevard, Suite 300, Cheyenne, WY 82009.

FIRST WYOMING -- MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of First Wyoming should be read in conjunction with its financial statements and the related notes beginning on page F-48 of this proxy statement – prospectus. In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis may contain forward-looking statements that involve risk, uncertainties and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

First Wyoming's accounting and reporting policies are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States of America. Preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The following is an explanation of our accounting policies and the estimates considered most significant by management. These accounting policies inherently require significant judgment and assumptions and actual operating results could differ significantly from management’s estimates determined using these policies. First Wyoming believes the following accounting policies, judgments and estimates are the most critical to the understanding of its results of operations and financial position. A detailed discussion of significant accounting policies is provided in this report in "Note 1 — Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies" in the Notes to First Wyoming's Consolidated Financial Statements included in this proxy statement – prospectus.

Valuation of Investments

First Wyoming has investments in development stage entities. These equity securities approximate carrying value and are invested in privately-held holding companies. These securities have no active trading. The fair value for these securities is determined through the use of unobservable assumptions about market participants. These companies are regularly bringing new investors into their entities at or above the prices paid by First Wyoming. Accordingly, First Wyoming has asserted that a willing market participant would purchase the security for the same price as it paid until such time as the development stage company commences operations.

First Wyoming has a policy and process in place to identify securities that could potentially have an impairment that is other-than-temporary. The assessment of whether impairments have occurred is based on a case-by-case evaluation of underlying reasons for the decline in fair value. First Wyoming considers severity of impairment, duration of impairment, forecasted recovery period, industry outlook, financial condition of the issuer, issuer credit ratings and whether First Wyoming intends to sell a security or it is more likely than not that First Wyoming would be required to sell a security prior to the recovery of the amortized cost.

The recognition of other-than-temporary impairment losses on debt securities is dependent on the facts and circumstances related to the specific security. If First Wyoming intends to sell a security or it is more likely than not that First Wyoming would be required to sell a security prior to recovery of the amortized cost, the difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized in the income statement as an other-than-temporary impairment. As it relates to debt securities, if First Wyoming does not expect to recover the amortized basis, does not plan to sell the security and if it is not more likely than not that First Wyoming would be required to sell a security before the recovery of its amortized cost, the recognition of the other-than-temporary impairment is bifurcated. First Wyoming recognizes the credit loss portion through earnings in the income statement and the noncredit loss portion in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The credit component of an other-than-temporary impairment is determined by comparing the net present value of projected cash flows with the amortized cost basis of the debt security. The net present value is calculated by discounting First Wyoming’s good faith, best estimate of projected future cash flows at the effective interest rate implicit in the fixed income security at the date of acquisition. Cash flow estimates are driven by assumptions regarding probability of default, including changes in credit ratings, and estimates regarding timing and amount of recoveries associated with a default.

Deferred Acquisition Costs

Incremental direct costs, net of amounts ceded to reinsurers, that result directly from and are essential to the contract acquisition transaction and would not have been incurred by First Wyoming had the contract acquisition not occurred, are capitalized, to the extent recoverable, and amortized over the life of the premiums produced. Recoverability of deferred acquisition costs is evaluated periodically by comparing the current estimate of the present value of expected pretax future profits to the unamortized asset balance. If this current estimate is less than the existing balance, the difference is charged to expense.

Value of Business Acquired

Value of business acquired (VOBA) represents the estimated value assigned to purchased companies or insurance in force of the assumed policy obligations at the date of acquisition of a block of policies. At least annually, a review is performed of the models and the assumptions used to develop expected future profits, based upon management’s current view of future events. VOBA is reviewed on an ongoing basis to determine that the unamortized portion does not exceed the expected recoverable amounts. Management’s view primarily reflects First Wyoming’s experience but can also reflect emerging trends within the industry. Short-term deviations in experience affect the amortization of VOBA in the period, but do not necessarily indicate that a change to the long-term assumptions of future experience is warranted. If it is determined that it is appropriate to change the assumptions related to future experience, then an unlocking adjustment is recognized for the block of business being evaluated. Certain assumptions, such as interest spreads and surrender rates, may be interrelated. As such, unlocking adjustments often reflect revisions to multiple assumptions. The VOBA balance is immediately impacted by any assumption changes, with the change reflected through the statements of comprehensive income as an unlocking adjustment in the amount of VOBA amortized. These adjustments can be positive or negative with adjustments reducing amortization limited to amounts previously deferred plus interest accrued through the date of the adjustment.

-33-



In addition, First Wyoming may consider refinements in estimates due to improved capabilities resulting from administrative or actuarial system upgrades. First Wyoming considers such enhancements to determine whether and to what extent they are associated with prior periods or simply improvements in the projection of future expected gross profits due to improved functionality. To the extent they represent such improvements, these items are applied to the appropriate financial statement line items in a manner similar to unlocking adjustments.

VOBA is also reviewed on an ongoing basis to determine that the unamortized portion does not exceed the expected recoverable amounts. If it is determined from emerging experience that the premium margins or gross profits are less than unamortized deferred acquisition costs, then the asset will be adjusted downward with the adjustment recorded as an expense in the current period.

Goodwill and Intangibles

Goodwill represents the excess of the amounts paid to acquire subsidiaries and other businesses over the fair value of its net assets at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually in the fourth quarter or more frequently if events or circumstances change that would indicate that a triggering event has occurred.

First Wyoming performed the first step of the goodwill quantitative analysis to determine if the fair value of any reporting unit was in excess of the carrying value. As of December 31, 2014, the fair value of each of First Wyoming’s reporting units exceeded the carrying value of the net assets assigned to that unit; therefore First Wyoming was not required to perform further testing for impairment. Management's determination of the fair value of each reporting unit incorporates peer company price to earnings multiples and assumptions that market participants would make in valuing the reporting unit. Other assumptions can include levels of economic capital, future business growth, and earnings projections.

First Wyoming assesses the recoverability of indefinite-lived intangible assets at least annually or whenever events or circumstances suggest that the carrying value of an identifiable indefinite-lived intangible asset may exceed the sum of the future discounted cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. If the asset is considered to be impaired, the amount of any impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the impaired asset.

First Wyoming compared the carrying value of its identifiable indefinite-lived intangible assets to the sum of the future discounted cash flows. As of December 31, 2014, the sum of the future discounted cash flows exceeded the carrying value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets. The assumptions and estimates used to determine future values are complex and subjective. They can be affected by various factors, including external factors such as industry and economic trends, and internal factors such as changes in First Wyoming’s business strategy and its revenue forecasts.

Reinsurance

In the normal course of business, First Wyoming seeks to limit aggregate and single exposure to losses on large risks by purchasing reinsurance. The amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets as reinsurance recoverable include amounts billed to reinsurers on losses paid as well as estimates of amounts expected to be recovered from reinsurers on insurance liabilities that have not yet been paid. Reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses are estimated based upon assumptions consistent with those used in establishing the liabilities related to the underlying reinsured contracts. Insurance liabilities are reported gross of reinsurance recoverable. Management believes the recoverables are appropriately established. First Wyoming generally strives to diversify its credit risks related to reinsurance ceded. Reinsurance premiums are generally reflected in income in a manner consistent with the recognition of premiums on the reinsured contracts. Reinsurance does not extinguish our primary liability under the policies written. Therefore, First Wyoming regularly evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers including their activities with respect to claim settlement practices and commutations, and establish allowances for uncollectible reinsurance recoverable as appropriate.

-34-



Future Policy Benefits

First Wyoming establishes liabilities for amounts payable under insurance policies, including traditional life insurance and annuities. Generally, amounts are payable over an extended period of time. Liabilities for future policy benefits of traditional life insurance have been computed by using a net level premium method based upon estimates at the time of issue for investment yields, mortality and withdrawals. These estimates include provisions for experience less favorable than initially expected. Mortality assumptions are based on industry experience expressed as a percentage of standard mortality tables. Such liabilities are reviewed quarterly by an independent consulting actuary.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities at the enacted tax rates. The principal assets and liabilities giving rise to such differences are investments, insurance reserves, and deferred acquisition costs. A deferred tax asset valuation allowance is established when there is uncertainty that such assets would be realized. First Wyoming has no uncertain tax positions that it believes are more-likely-than not that the benefit will not to be realized.

Recognition of Revenues

Revenues on traditional life insurance products consist of direct and assumed premiums reported as earned when due.

Amounts received as payment for annuities and/or non-traditional contracts such as interest sensitive whole life contracts, single payment endowment contracts, single payment juvenile contracts and other contracts without life contingencies are recognized as deposits to policyholder account balances and included in future insurance policy benefits. Revenues from these contracts are comprised of fees earned for administrative and contract-holder services, which are recognized over the period of the contracts, and included in revenue. Deposits are shown as a financing activity in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Amounts received under our multi-benefit policy form are allocated to the life insurance portion of the multi-benefit life insurance arrangement and the annuity portion based upon the signed policy.

New Accounting Standards

A detailed discussion of new accounting standards is provided in Note 1 — Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Overview

First Wyoming Capital Corporation., a Wyoming corporation, (“we”, “us”, “our”, “First Wyoming”) was incorporated on July 8, 2009, for the primary purpose for the primary purpose of organizing a life insurance subsidiary. We presently conduct our operating business through our wholly owned subsidiary, First Wyoming Life Insurance (“First Wyoming Life”). Since our inception, we have raised approximately $10.5 million through sales of shares of our common stock. On June 24, 2011, First Wyoming Life was incorporated and initially capitalized with $400,000. An additional capital contribution of $3,600,000 was made during 2011. First Wyoming Life began issuing business on August 17, 2012. Capital and surplus of First Wyoming Life as of June 30, 2015 was $3.1 million. When First Wyoming Life commenced operations in August 2012, it began to receive premium income from the sales of life insurance.

Consolidated Results of Operations – Three Months Ended June 30, 2015

Unless the context indicates otherwise, the discussion below compares the three months ended June 30, 2015 to the like period in 2014.

Insurance revenues are primarily generated from premium revenues and investment income. Insurance revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 are summarized in the table below.

      Three months ended June 30,
2015       2014
Premiums $       107,570 $       107,503
Investment income, net of expenses 32,749 32,338
Net realized gains on investments (14,311 ) (14,128 )
Miscellaneous Income 100 -
$ 126,108 $ 125,713

Premium revenue: There were no significant changes in premium revenue or investment income, net of expenses.

Expenses are summarized in the table below:

Three months ended June 30,
      2015 2014
Death and other benefits $ 9,182       $ 54,430
Increase in benefit reserves 16,958 18,288
Amortization of deferred acquisition costs 24,038 31,499
Salaries and benefits 144,868 149,605
Other operating expenses 192,819 122,427
$       387,865 $       376,249

-36-



Death and other benefits: In 2014, there was a one-time claim for $208,000 which had reinsurance coverage of $168,000 for a net claim of $40,000. Included in death and other benefits are claims, surrenders and interest credited on deposit-type contracts.

Increase in benefit reserves: The slight decrease was due to a decline in new business for 2015 offset by an increase in surrenders.

Amortization of deferred acquisition costs: The small decrease in amortization was due to a small decline in new business written and acquisition costs deferred.

Salaries and benefits: The small decrease was due to higher officer costs in 2014 offset by lower marketing costs.

Other expenses: The increase was primarily due to legal fees related to assessing and analyzing the needs of First Wyoming Life to comply with a Wyoming statute that required significant cost increases in order to be in compliance with it, as well as the proposed acquisition of First Wyoming by Midwest. Included in other operating expenses are Third Party Agreement (TPA) fees between First Wyoming and Midwest. The State of Wyoming has a statute that requires the functions of accounting, underwriting and various other administrative activities to be completed in a physical office in Wyoming. When we were incorporated in 2009 we obtained approval from the State to enter into a TPA agreement with Midwest for those administrative services due to the costs associated with setting up a home office in the State at that time. In the beginning of 2015, the Wyoming insurance regulators decided to move up the compliance with the statute by First Wyoming Life to require us to set up a physical office in the State. Legal counsel was engaged to review several associated legal issues.

Net Loss: The increase in net loss year-to-date was primarily attributable to lower revenue, including a decline in premium revenue and increased expenses related to legal fees.

Consolidated Results of Operations – Six Months Ended June 30, 2015

Unless the context indicates otherwise, the discussion below compares the six months ended June 30, 2015 to the like period of 2014.

Revenues.

Insurance revenues are summarized in the table below.

      Six months ended June 30,
2015       2014
Premiums $           222,586 $           247,434
Investment income, net of expenses 68,764 79,511
Net realized gains (losses) on investments (23,379 ) (13,836 )
Miscellaneous income 100 -
$ 268,071 $ 313,109

-37-



Premium revenue: Premium revenue declined due primarily to the accounting treatment for renewal premiums on our Accumulator Product as well as slowdowns in new business. We recognize 100% of the first year payments received for our Accumulator life insurance products as premiums earned when due. In subsequent years, 50% of the payments received on the Accumulator life insurance products are applied toward the traditional life insurance premium. The other 50% of the payments received are applied towards the annuity premium which is recognized as a deposit to policyholder account balances and included in future insurance policy benefits rather than revenues. Premiums on our other insurance products are recognized as earned when due. Production of new life premium slowed during 2015 because of changes in field management that delayed product sales. Additionally, it has been difficult to seek and recruit in some areas of the state. Management continues to seek new ways to penetrate what is at best a limited market due to the small population size of the State.

Investment income, net of expenses: The components of net investment income were as follows:

Six months ended June 30,
      2015       2014
Fixed maturities $          72,514 $          82,665
Cash and short-term investments - 96
72,514 82,761
Less investment expenses (3,750 ) (3,250 )
$ 68,764 $ 79,511

The decrease was primarily due to a decline in the size of our investment portfolio and a slight increase in costs.

Net realized gains on investments: The decrease was due to losses on our fixed maturities in 2015 as interest rates continued to rise.

Expenses.

Expenses are summarized in the table below:

      Six months ended June 30,
2015       2014
Death and other benefits $ 12,825 $ 56,144
Increase in benefit reserves 28,279 105,866
Amortization of deferred acquisition costs 30,611 63,760
Salaries and benefits 305,155 286,651
Other operating expenses 328,655 221,148
$       705,525 $       733,569

Death and other benefits : In 2014, there was a one-time claim for $208,000 which had reinsurance coverage of $168,000 for a net claim of $40,000. Included in death and other benefits are claims, surrenders and interest credited on deposit-type contracts.

Increase in benefit reserves : The decrease was due to a significant decline in new business offset by an increase in surrenders.

Amortization of deferred acquisition costs : The decrease was due to a decline in new business written and acquisition costs deferred.

-38-



Salaries and benefits : The increase was primarily related to an increase of officer salaries offset by lower marketing expenses.

Other expenses : The increase was primarily due to legal fees related to assessing and analyzing the needs of First Wyoming Life to comply with a Wyoming statute that required significant cost increases in order to be in compliance with it, as well as the proposed acquisition of First Wyoming by Midwest. Included in other operating expenses are Third Party Agreement (TPA) fees between First Wyoming and Midwest.

Legal counsel was engaged to review several associated legal issues.

Net Loss: The increase in net loss year-to-date was primarily attributable to lower revenue, including a decline in premium revenues and increased expenses related to salaries and legal fees.

Investments

Our overall investment philosophy is reflected in the allocation of our investments. We emphasize investment grade debt securities, policy loans, and other investments. The following table shows the carrying value of our investments by investment category and cash and cash equivalents, and the percentage of each to total invested assets as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

In our fixed maturing portfolio, 90.0% and 93.9% of all of those securities were investment grade as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Due to the low interest rate environment, we have invested in bonds with “A” or “BBB” ratings.

Market Risks of Financial Instruments

We hold a portfolio of investments that primarily includes cash and bonds. Each of these investments is subject to market risks that can affect their return and their fair value. A majority of the investments are fixed maturity securities including debt issues of corporations, U.S. Treasury securities, or securities issued by government agencies. The primary market risks affecting the investment portfolio are interest rate risk, credit risk, and equity risk.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk arises from the price sensitivity of investments to changes in interest rates. Interest and dividend income represent the greatest portion of an investment’s return for most fixed maturity securities in stable interest rate environments. The changes in the fair value of such investments are inversely related to changes in market interest rates. As interest rates fall, the interest and dividend streams of existing fixed-rate investments become more valuable and fair values rise. As interest rates rise, the opposite effect occurs.

We attempt to mitigate our exposure to adverse interest rate movements through staggering the maturities of the fixed maturity investments and through maintaining cash and other short term investments to assure sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations and to address reinvestment risk considerations. Due to the composition of our book of insurance business, we believe it is unlikely that we would encounter large surrender activity due to an interest rate increase that would force the disposal of fixed maturities at a loss.

Credit Risk

We are exposed to credit risk through counterparties and within the investment portfolio. Credit risk relates to the uncertainty associated with an obligor’s ability to make timely payments of principal and interest in accordance with the contractual terms of an instrument or contract. We manage our credit risk through established investment credit policies and guidelines which address the quality of creditors and counterparties, concentration limits, diversification practices and acceptable risk levels. These policies and guidelines are regularly reviewed and approved by senior management.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception, our operations have been financed primarily through the sale of common stock. Our operations have not been profitable and have generated significant operating losses since we were incorporated in 2009.

Aside from raising capital, which has funded the vast majority of our operations, premium income, deposits to policyholder account balances, and investment income are the primary sources of funds while withdrawals of policyholder account balances, investment purchases, policy benefits in the form of claims, and operating expenses are the primary uses of funds. To ensure we will be able to pay future commitments, the funds received as premium payments and deposits are invested in primarily fixed income securities. Funds are invested with the intent that the income from investments, plus proceeds from maturities, will in the future meet our ongoing cash flow needs. The approach of matching asset and liability durations and yields requires an appropriate mix of investments. Our investments consist primarily of marketable debt securities that could be readily converted to cash for liquidity needs. Cash flow projections and cash flow tests under various market interest scenarios are also performed annually to assist in evaluating liquidity needs and adequacy. We currently anticipate that available liquidity sources and future cash flows will be adequate to meet our needs for funds into 2016.

Net cash used by operating activities was $392,115 for June 30, 2015. The primary uses of cash from operating activities were from payments of liabilities. Net cash provided by investing activities was $226,683. The primary source of cash was from sales of available for sale securities. Offsetting this source of cash was our purchases of investments in available-for-sale securities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $149,339. The primary source of cash was receipts on deposit-type contracts.

-40-



At June 30, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $360,216. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund the anticipated operating expenses and capital expenditures through at least mid-2016.

Impact of Inflation

Insurance premiums are established before the amount of losses and loss adjustment expenses, or the extent to which inflation may affect such losses and expenses, are known. We attempt, in establishing premiums, to anticipate the potential impact of inflation. If, for competitive reasons, premiums cannot be increased to anticipate inflation, this cost would be absorbed by us. Inflation also affects the rate of investment return on the investment portfolio with a corresponding effect on investment income.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Premiums       $      374,478       $      756,509

Net realized gains on investments (33,254 ) 64,499

Premium revenue: Premium revenue for 2014 declined due primarily to the accounting treatment for renewal premiums on our Accumulator Product as well as slowdowns in new business produced in 2014. We recognize 100% of the first year payments received for our Accumulator life insurance products as premiums earned when due. In subsequent years, 50% of the payments received on the Accumulator life insurance products are applied toward the traditional life insurance premium. The other 50% of the payments received are applied towards the annuity premium which is recognized as deposits to policyholder account balances and included in future insurance policy benefits rather than revenues. Premiums on our other insurance products are recognized as earned when due. Production of new life premium slowed during 2014 because regulatory approval of new life insurance products took an extraordinary amount of time, as well as changes in field management that delayed product sales.

Investment income, net of expenses: The components of net investment income for 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

Year Ended December 31,
2014 2013
Fixed Maturities       $ 154,835       $ 143,459
Cash and short-term investments 99 1,424
154,934 144,883
Less investment expenses (6,500 ) (17,863 )
$     148,434 $     127,020

The increase was primarily due to interest income on expanded investment activity and a decrease in the investment expenses.

Net realized gains on investments: The decrease was due to losses on fixed maturities due to interest rates starting to rise.

Expenses are summarized in the table below.

Year Ended December 31,
2014 2013
Death and other benefits       $     6,400       $     59,404
Increase in benefit reserves 139,279 322,454
Amortization of deferred acquisition costs 103,778 53,976
Salaries and benefits 576,597 554,578
Other operating expenses 650,682 417,946
$ 1,476,736 $ 1,408,358

Death and other benefits : Death benefits decreased significantly due to a one-time claim of $40,000 in 2013 as well as a decrease in accrued claims of $17,000 due to the decrease in pending claims and twelve month analysis of claims incurred.

Increase in benefit reserves : The decrease in benefit reserves reflected the decline in new business for 2014; also, the change in reserves in 2013 was higher due to the first full year of issuing business.

Amortization of deferred acquisition costs : The increase in the amortization was a result of the deferred acquisition costs in 2013 that were being amortized in 2014.

Salaries and benefits : The significant increase in 2014 primarily related to the increase in payroll allocated to us starting in December 2013.

Other expenses : Our other operating expenses during 2014 increased significantly compared to 2013 due to the Rocky Mountain Capital Corporation Acquisition acquisition-related expenses of $223,312. Included in other operating expenses are Third Party Agreement (TPA) fees between us and Midwest Holding Inc.

Net Loss: The significant increase in net loss year-to-date was primarily attributable to lower revenue, including a decline in premium revenue, increased expenses, and by the costs associated with the acquisition of Rocky Mountain Capital Corporation.

Of our fixed maturity securities, 93.9% and 97.6% of all of these securities were investment grade as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Due to the low interest rate environment, we have invested in bonds with “A” or “BBB” ratings.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception, our operations have been financed primarily through the sale of common stock. Our operations have not been profitable and have generated significant operating losses since we were incorporated in 2009. We expect significant losses for several years.

Aside from raising capital, which has funded the vast majority of our operations, premium income, deposits to policyholder account balances, and investment income are the primary sources of funds while withdrawals of policyholder account balances, investment purchases, policy benefits in the form of claims, and operating expenses are the primary uses of funds. To ensure we will be able to pay future commitments, the funds received as premium payments and deposits are invested in primarily fixed income securities. Funds are invested with the intent that the income from investments, plus proceeds from maturities, will in the future meet our ongoing cash flow needs. The approach of matching asset and liability durations and yields requires an appropriate mix of investments. Our investments consist primarily of marketable debt securities that could be readily converted to cash for liquidity needs. Cash flow projections and cash flow tests under various market interest scenarios are also performed annually to assist in evaluating liquidity needs and adequacy. We currently anticipate that available liquidity sources and future cash flows will be adequate to meet our needs for funds for 2015.

-43-



Net cash used in operating activities was $763,597 for 2014. The primary sources of cash from operating activities were primarily due to the amounts receivable from reinsurers. The primary uses of cash from operating activities were from payments of commissions to agents and settlement of policy liabilities. Net cash used in investing activities was $82,093. The primary source of cash was from sales of available for sale securities. Offsetting this source of cash was our purchases of investments in available-for-sale securities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $379,182. The primary source of cash was receipts on deposit-type contracts and issuance of common stock upon acquisition of Rocky Mountain Capital Corporation.

At December 31, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $376,309.

Impact of Inflation

Insurance premiums are established before the amount of losses and loss adjustment expenses, or the extent to which inflation may affect such losses and expenses, are known. We attempt, in establishing premiums, to anticipate the potential impact of inflation. If, for competitive reasons, premiums cannot be increased to anticipate inflation, this cost would be absorbed by us. Inflation also affects the rate of investment return on the investment portfolio with a corresponding effect on investment income.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS – FIRST WYOMING

INFORMATION CONCERNING MIDWEST

General Information

Midwest Holding Inc., a Nebraska corporation, ("Midwest") was formed on October 31, 2003 for the primary purpose of becoming a financial services holding company. Midwest began conducting its life insurance business in 2009 through its wholly owned subsidiary, American Life & Security Corp. ("American Life"). In addition to American Life, as of the date of this proxy statement – prospectus, Midwest directly or indirectly owns or has interests in the following entities:

Great Plains Life Assurance Company, a South Dakota corporation -- wholly owned;
Capital Reserve Life Insurance Co., a Missouri domiciled life insurance company -- wholly owned;
New Mexico Capital Corp. -- 12.9% ownership;
Northwest Financial Corp. – 14.3% ownership;
Pacific Northwest Capital Corp. -- 22.4% ownership; and
First Wyoming Capital Corporation -- 22.3% ownership.

The principal executive offices for Midwest and its subsidiaries are at 2900 S. 70 th Street, Suite 400, Lincoln, NE 68506, phone number is (402) 489-8266.

Development of our Business

Since Midwest's inception, it has raised approximately $18.0 million through sales of shares of voting common stock and non-voting convertible preferred stock in several private placements and an intrastate offering in the State of Nebraska. Each of these sales of stock was intended primarily to provide capital for its financial services operations.

Midwest was a development stage company until American Life commenced its insurance operations in 2009. Midwest has incurred significant net losses since inception totaling approximately $22.0 million through June 30, 2015. These losses have resulted primarily from costs incurred while raising capital and establishing American Life. Midwest expects to continue to incur significant operating losses until it achieves a volume of in-force life insurance policies that provides premiums that are sufficient to cover its operating expenses.

In 2009, American Life was issued a certificate of authority to conduct life insurance business in the state of Nebraska. Capital and surplus contributed to American Life was approximately $9.6 million as of the end of 2014, capital and surplus of American Life at that date was approximately $2.4 million. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, American Life generated approximately $2.9 million and $3.0 million in premium revenue, respectively.

On June 20, 2010, American Life acquired Capital Reserve in exchange for a cash payment of approximately $1.9 million. This transaction added approximately a like amount of assets to American Life. Further, with the insurance charters acquired from Capital Reserve, Midwest obtained access to additional markets in Missouri and Kansas.

In 2011, Midwest acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Old Reliance Insurance Company ("Old Reliance"), an Arizona-domiciled life insurance company. American Life merged into Old Reliance following the purchase, with the survivor changing its name to American Life & Security Corp. and domiciled in Arizona. In the transaction, the sole shareholder of Old Reliance received: (i) approximately $1.6 million in cash, (ii) $500,000 in the form of a surplus debenture issued by American Life, and (iii) 150,000 shares of our voting common stock ($750,000 fair value).

-45-



During the third quarter of 2011, Midwest obtained control of an entity, Security Capital Corporation (Security Capital), an Arkansas corporation. Security Capital was a development stage company that had not conducted operations apart from raising capital. Security Capital was acquired by Midwest on August 5, 2014, through a share exchange described below.

In August 2011, Midwest acquired a controlling interest ownership of Hot Dot, Inc. (Hot Dot), a company organized in August 2011 to develop, manufacture, and market the Hot Dot Alert Patch. From its inception, the operating results of Hot Dot were consolidated with those of Midwest, due to Midwest’s control of the Board of Directors. During the third quarter of 2011, Hot Dot purchased certain assets of IonX Capital Holding Inc. On September 12, 2012, Hot Dot repurchased 1,000,000 shares of its stock from Midwest for a purchase price of $750,000. As a result of the stock repurchase by Hot Dot, Midwest ceased to have a controlling financial interest in Hot Dot and subsequently deconsolidated Hot Dot on the effective date of the stock repurchase. In October 2014, Hot Dot repurchased Midwest’s 1,500,000 remaining shares of stock for $775,000.

Midwest commenced its third party administrative (“TPA”) services in 2012 as an additional revenue source. These agreements, for various levels of administrative services on behalf of each client, generate fee income for Midwest. Services provided vary based on the respective needs of the client and can include some or all aspects of back-office accounting and policy administration. Midwest has been able to perform its TPA services using its existing in-house resources.

During the first quarter of 2012, Midwest purchased additional shares of Great Plains after earlier acquiring a small interest. In 2012 and 2013, Midwest increased its ownership in Great Plains to 24.5% as of December 31, 2012. As a result of the Company’s ability to significantly influence the operations of Great Plains, Midwest began consolidating Great Plains during the fourth quarter of 2012. Great Plains was acquired by Midwest on August 5, 2014, through a share exchange as described below.

On February 20, 2013, Midwest commenced a private placement offering under Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933. Sales were made in Units, with each Unit consisting of 50 shares of voting common stock and one detachable warrant to purchase ten shares of common stock at an exercise price of $6.50 per share exercisable through December 31, 2016 for gross proceeds of $353,700. This offering ended October 31, 2013. A total of 58,950 shares of voting common stock and 11,790 warrants were sold in the offering.

On November 25, 2013, Midwest entered into Plan and Agreement of Exchange (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Great Plains and Security Capital in order to acquire the outstanding shares of each company held by their shareholders (other than those shares already held by Midwest.) Under the Exchange Agreement with Great Plains, the Great Plains shareholders received approximately 1.298 shares of Midwest voting common stock for each share of Great Plains common stock held by the Great Plains shareholders. The Security Capital shareholders received approximately 0.162 shares of Midwest voting common stock for each share of Security Capital common stock held. The Exchange Agreement was consummated on July 21, 2014. On August 5, 2014, Great Plains and Security Capital were merged into Midwest. Great Plains’ wholly owned subsidiary, Great Plains Life, along with any remaining assets of Great Plains and Security Capital were transferred to Midwest. Great Plains Life was contributed to American Life via a surplus contribution and became a wholly owned subsidiary of American Life.

During the first quarter of 2014, Midwest purchased additional shares of Pacific Northwest Capital Corporation (PNC) which increased Midwest’s ownership to 22.4%, and it requires Midwest to change its method of carrying the investment from cost to equity.

On May 9, 2014, American Life entered into a Purchase Option Agreement with an unrelated company whereby the unrelated company paid American Life the sum of $25,000 in consideration for the option and first right of refusal to acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of Capital Reserve. Under terms of this agreement, the purchase price for the outstanding capital stock of Capital Reserve will be the capital and surplus of Capital Reserve as reflected on the most recent statutory financial statement filed with regulatory authorities prior to the notice of intent to exercise, plus $50,000. This agreement was set to expire on May 31, 2015; however, on February 11, 2015, it was extended through December 31, 2015. In consideration, the potential purchaser posted an additional $10,000 escrow payment.

-46-



In May, 2014, Midwest commenced a private offering of a newly-created class of preferred shares (Series B preferred stock) at $6.00 per share. The Series B shares are non-cumulative, non-voting and convertible to common shares after May 1, 2017 at a rate of 2.0 common shares for each preferred share. The offering was terminated in September 2014. A total of 102,669 shares of preferred stock were sold for total gross proceeds of $616,012.

Life Insurance

General

American Life, as it exists today, is the product of the August 2011 merger of Old Reliance and American Life and the contribution of Great Plains Life in 2014. Organized in 1960, Old Reliance primarily focused on the sale of final expense or burial products which typically are small face amount policies with limited underwriting. American Life historically did not offer similar products and instead focused on the sale of its American Accumulator product (a multi-benefit life insurance policy) and its Future Cornhusker Plan (a single premium term life product for children), as described below. The final expense and burial products have been offered by Old Reliance through a small network of independent agents in the southwest United States. Sales over the past five years have been nominal as the Company lacked the capital and surplus to support broad sales of the products. Following the acquisition by and merger with American Life, these final expense and burial products were withdrawn due to concerns regarding persistency and potential claims.

American Life underwrites and markets life insurance products within the State of Nebraska, but is licensed in 14 states. American Life is required to comply with the insurance laws of its state of domicile, Arizona. Management is seeking to domesticate American Life in Nebraska. Great Plains Life underwrites and markets life insurance products within South Dakota and is domiciled in that state. Over time, First Wyoming may apply with other state insurance departments in order to obtain certificates of authority to market life insurance products in those states.

Some of the agents who were engaged by Midwest to sell shares of voting common stock in its intrastate offering were cross-trained by American Life to act as agents for its insurance business. The recruiting, training and hiring of captive agents (agents who sell only American Life and Great Plains Life’s products) is expected to be a continuous process for American Life and Great Plains Life.

Additionally, because of management's significant experience in the international market, Midwest intends to pursue the international market for U.S. dollar denominated ordinary life policies. Management has negotiated a marketing agreement with a foreign based general agency to offer U.S. dollar denominated ordinary life products available to select foreign nationals, beginning with the countries of Argentina and Bolivia. This product, the “Gold Standard,” is specifically designed for the international market and contains numerous benefit limitations for causes of death not anticipated in normal underwriting. Management expects the average premium of such policies to be $3,000 to $4,000 and the average face amount less than $150,000. All premium and benefits are to be paid in U.S. dollars drawn on U.S. banks. Due to limitations on the expatriation of U.S. dollars imposed by several South American governments since 2012, our entry into these markets has been slowed. Management remains confident that the Company can effectively market its products in the future to persons who reside in these countries.

Type of Policies

American Life initially offered two insurance products, the “American Accumulator”, which is a multi-benefit life insurance policy that combines cash value life insurance with a tax deferred annuity and the “Future Cornhusker Plan”, which is a single premium term life product offered for children aged three months to 15 years. The Future Cornhusker is available in annual premium amounts of $125 or $250 and carries an initial face amount of $5,000 or $10,000. The American Accumulator is sold in annual premium units of $2,000. The average annual premium is approximately $2,000 with an average face amount of $66,000. Premiums may be higher based upon the age and health of the insured. Great Plains Life sells a product similar to the “American Accumulator” called the “Great Plains Life Accumulator.”

-47-



Three new products were developed in the last quarter of 2014: (i) the “Accelerator”, which is a non-participating whole life insurance policy with guaranteed level death benefits and premiums; (ii) the “American Protector”, which is a 7-pay non-participating whole life insurance policy with modified death and premiums; and (iii) the “Accumulator X”, which is a 10-pay non-participating whole life insurance policy with modified death benefit and premiums. The Accelerator premiums vary according to issue age, gender, and smoking classification with a minimum face amount of $25,000. The American Protector premiums are payable for seven years, during which time the face amount remains level. After the seven years the policy face amount gradually decreases to the ultimate amount which is equal to 50% of the issued policy face amount. Annual premiums per unit are $1,000 with a minimum of ½ a unit and maximum of 10 units. The Accumulator X premiums are payable for ten years, during which time the policy face amount remains level. After ten years, the policy face amount gradually decreases to the ultimate amount which is equal to 50% of the issued policy face amount. Annual premiums per unit are $1,000 with a minimum of ½ a unit and maximum of 10 units.

Product Pricing

The current products of Midwest offered for sale in the U.S. have been approved by the appropriate insurance regulatory authorities and incorporate the following features:

Provide a competitively priced product to the insurance consumer;
Provide sufficient gross margins based upon achieving projected levels of volume to allow the insurance subsidiary to achieve operating profits comparable to the life insurance industry as a whole; and
Provide sufficient first year and renewal commission structures necessary to attract and retain career-oriented insurance agents.

All products have been developed by using the services of an independent qualified consulting actuary, Miller and Newberg of Kansas City, Missouri. In addition to product development, Miller and Newberg serve as American Life and Great Plains Life’s Valuation Actuary.

Underwriting Standards

Underwriting guidelines have a direct impact on the operating results of American Life and Great Plains Life. If the underwriting standards that are established are not adequate, desired operating results will not be realized. Generally, when underwriting standards are less restrictive, more mortality claims will result and vice versa. Underwriting standards have a direct impact on the pricing structure of a product. The less restrictive the underwriting standards, the higher the product needs to be priced in order to allow for higher incidence of mortality. This higher incidence of mortality is also reflected in greater policy reserves being established.

American Life and Great Plains Life have established similar underwriting guidelines consistent with their products’ pricing structure. The companies utilize information from the application and, in some cases, telephone interviews with applicants, inspection reports, doctors’ statements and/or medical examinations to determine whether a policy should be issued in accordance with the application, with a different rating, with a rider, with reduced coverage or rejected. In addition to an applicant’s medical history, the companies also consider other factors such as financial profile, foreign travel, vocations and alcohol, drug and tobacco use. Requests for coverage are reviewed on their merits and a policy is not issued unless the particular risk has been examined and approved by our underwriters. The companies’ consulting actuary and reinsurers assist the insurance subsidiaries in establishing their underwriting standards. American Life and Great Plains Life’s underwriting is performed by its third party administrator, Midwest.

Marketing

New insurance sales agents are recruited through referrals from shareholders, newspaper advertisements, and solicitation through the use of on-line job sites. Each potential candidate must complete a three interview process. If hired to sell insurance, the candidate must complete a 40 hour training course conducted by a third party as well as pass the respective state examination. Once licensed, each agent must complete a week long product and sales training class. Following course completion, each agent has a training week where his or her manager will work side by side with the agent by conducting sales meetings. The average turnover rate of our agents since Midwest began writing insurance business is approximately 20% per year.

-48-



The products developed by American Life and Great Plains Life were marketed initially by those agents cross-trained to market insurance products after selling shares of stock in intrastate offerings. When agents were recruited to sell stock in connection with the earlier intrastate public offerings, they were required to complete a similar company training program and compliance course. They also were required to be licensed by Nebraska and South Dakota under applicable state securities laws and were required to spend time in the field with their managers prior to engaging in any sales activity on their own.

The recruiting, hiring and training process is ongoing for American Life and Great Plains Life.

The insurance products of Midwest’s insurance subsidiaries are marketed using a personal, face-to-face marketing concept. Our insurance agents use the shareholder base of Midwest and Great Plains and their referrals as potential clients for life insurance products.

American Life also pursues the U.S. Dollar-denominated life insurance market in Latin America. The products offered are ordinary whole life that are designed specifically for that market. Due to limitations on the expatriation of U.S. dollars imposed by several South American governments since 2012, American Life’s entry into these markets has been slowed. Management remains confident that the Company can effectively market its products in the future to persons who reside in these countries.

If, and when, American Life and Great Plains Life enter the interest-sensitive and universal life markets, they would not use their captive agents to market such products. Generally, these are sophisticated products which require a unique ability to market. Accordingly, if American Life and Great Plains Life choose to enter this market, they would develop an independent agent distribution system using independent marketing agencies that have the experience and ability to market these products. However, American Life and Great Plains Life would not enter this market segment unless they would expect to do so profitably. Neither company has plans to enter into this market segment at the present time.

Operating Results

There are certain factors unique to the life insurance business in which Midwest operates which have an adverse effect on our operating results. One factor is that the cost of putting a new policy in force is usually greater than the first year’s policy premium, and, accordingly, in the early years of a young life insurance company, these initial costs and the required provisions for reserves have an adverse effect on operating results. American Life and Great Plains Life, as is common among unseasoned life insurance companies, are expected by Midwest to continue to operate at losses for a number of years because of the substantial costs of writing new life insurance. The aggregate cost of writing new life insurance includes such significant, nonrecurring items such as first year commissions, medical and investigation expenses, and other expenses incidental to the issuance of new policies, together with the initial reserves required to be established. For our ordinary life products, the costs to cover expenses and the policyholder liability that must be set up at policy issuance exceed the first year premium by approximately 39%, while there is no excess of costs to cover expenses and the policyholder liability for the Future Cornhusker product. However, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), incremental direct costs that result directly from and are essential to the contract acquisition transaction and would not have been incurred by the Company had the contract acquisition not occurred, are capitalized and amortized over the life of the premiums produced.

Our operating results are reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for stock life companies; although Midwest’s life insurance subsidiaries will also prepare financial statements in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by their respective states of domicile (statutory basis of accounting) for the purpose of reporting to insurance regulatory authorities. The statutory basis of accounting has many significant differences to GAAP. For example, the incremental direct costs for acquiring new business, which are capitalized under GAAP, are expensed immediately under the statutory basis of accounting. In addition, under GAAP, assumptions used in calculating reserves are less conservative than those used under the statutory basis, thereby further reducing adverse effects on operating results.

-49-



Administration

The Company commenced its TPA services in 2012 by first offering the services to its wholly-owned subsidiary and other consolidated entities. Later, the Company expanded its services to other non-consolidated entities as an additional revenue source. These agreements, for various levels of administrative services on behalf of each company, generate fee income for the Company. Services provided to each company vary based on their needs and can include some or all aspects of back-office accounting and policy administration. Midwest has been able to perform its TPA services using its existing in-house resources.

Investments

American Life, Capital Reserve, and Great Plains Life have adopted investment policies in compliance with the insurance laws of the State of Arizona, Missouri, and South Dakota, respectively. The type and amount of investments which can be made by a life insurance company are specifically controlled by applicable state statutes and rules and regulations of the respective state departments of insurance.

It is critical that an insurer invest its assets conservatively as investment income ultimately (as a new company grows, investment income will increase as a percent of total income due to investment of policy reserves) will be a significant component of total revenue. Accordingly, American Life, Capital Reserve, and Great Plains Life have developed a conservative investment policy in an effort to minimize investment risk. An independent professional investment advisor who specializes in the insurance industry assists the Company with its investment decisions.

Reinsurance

American Life, Capital Reserve, and Great Plains Life reinsure with other companies (reinsurers) portions of the life insurance risks they underwrite and occasionally will reinsure portions of life insurance risks underwritten by other (ceding) companies. The primary purpose of reinsurance is to allow a company to reduce the amount of its risk on any particular policy by transferring a portion of the risk to the reinsurers. However, American Life, Capital Reserve, and Great Plains Life remain contingently liable for the risk in the event any reinsurer is not able to meet its obligations under the applicable reinsurance agreements. Further, when life insurance risks are ceded to another insurer, the ceding company must pay a reinsurance premium to the reinsurance company as consideration for the risk being transferred. The payment of this reinsurance premium to the reinsurer represents a reduction of the premium income received by American Life, Capital Reserve, and Great Plains Life. This reduction in premium income has a direct impact on the profitability of the ceding company (American Life, Capital Reserve, and Great Plains Life).

The average face amount of all of our life insurance policies in force is approximately $33,000, with the American Accumulator averaging $66,000, Future Cornhusker averaging $9,000, and the policies acquired through Old Reliance averaging $9,000. With respect to the American Accumulator and Future Cornhusker policies, the Company retains $40,000 to $55,000 of risk on any one life. With respect to the policies acquired through Old Reliance, the Company retains $25,000 of risk on any one life. As of December 31, 2014, approximately 58% of the gross outstanding life insurance policies in force are reinsured with third parties. The Company cedes approximately $1.29 of premium per year for each $1,000 of gross life insurance in force. All accidental death benefits are reinsured.

Reserves

American Life, Capital Reserve, and Great Plains Life establish as liabilities actuarially computed reserves to meet the obligations on the policies they write, in accordance with the insurance laws and the regulations of the applicable state insurance regulators, for statutory accounting and GAAP for financial reporting to shareholders. Reserves, whether calculated under statutory accounting practices prescribed by various state insurance regulators or GAAP, do not represent an exact calculation of exposure, but instead represent good faith, best estimates based on the relevant basis of accounting, generally involving actuarial projections, of what we expect claims will be based on mortality assumptions. The various actuarial factors are determined from mortality tables and interest rates in effect when the policies are issued and are applied against policy in force amounts. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) has proposed reserve rules to be used for Statutory Accounting purposes that are based solely on company experience. However, these proposed rules must be adopted by a majority of states before implementation. Midwest has not yet performed analysis to determine the effects of these rules.

Competition

The life insurance industry is fiercely competitive. Many of the life insurance companies authorized to do business in states that we conduct business in are well-established companies with good reputations, offering a broader line of insurance products, having larger selling organizations, and possessing greater financial resources us and our subsidiaries. Our insurance subsidiaries are not rated by industry analysts and likely will not be rated for the foreseeable future. This has a negative impact on the companies’ ability to compete with rated insurance companies. There is also considerable competition among insurance companies in obtaining qualified sales agents, which might require our insurance subsidiaries to pay higher commissions to attract such agents.

Possible Acquisition of Other Companies

Subject to the regulation and supervision of the Arizona Department of Insurance and other regulators, we may acquire one or more life insurance or insurance-related companies in the future. Our acquisition strategy is to identify one or more established insurance companies which have developed viable marketing networks for their products and which are or could be managed from our Lincoln, Nebraska administrative office. In selecting target insurance companies which constitute suitable acquisition candidates, we will consider factors such as, but not limited to, the target company’s financial statements and operating history (including surplus adequacy and underwriting standards); the price and features of insurance products sold and the markets serviced; the competency and loyalty of its agents; certain income tax considerations; and the purchase price.

We also may seek to acquire insurance-related companies such as: (i) third-party administrators; (ii) existing marketing agencies; (iii) life insurance reinsurance brokerage companies; and (iv) life and health insurance data processing servicers.

The primary reasons we may acquire an existing life insurance company or insurance-related company are: (i) administrative, accounting and data processing systems that would allow us to expand; (ii) to provide additional revenue streams to us through additional marketing expansion or ancillary services; and (iii) to provide additional profits through more effective cost management of an existing company as many companies within the insurance industry have excessive administrative cost levels relative to premium income.

Regulation

American Life, Capital Reserve, and Great Plains Life, as well as any other life insurance subsidiary that we may acquire or form, are (or will be) subject to the regulation and supervision of the Arizona, Missouri, and South Dakota Departments of Insurance, respectively, and/or other state insurance regulators. Such regulation is primarily for the benefit of policyholders rather than shareholders. These regulators possess broad administrative powers, including the power to grant and revoke licenses to transact business, to approve the form of insurance contracts, to regulate capital requirements, to regulate the character of permitted investments, and to require deposits for the protection of investments. Arizona, Missouri, and South Dakota insurance law requires the filing of a detailed annual report with the department of insurance in each state, as do other states’ laws. Thus, the business and financial accounts of American Life, Capital Reserve, and Great Plains Life will be subject to examination by the Arizona, Missouri, and South Dakota Departments of Insurance, respectively, as well as insurance departments of any other states in which we may do business.

There can be no assurance that American Life, Capital Reserve, Great Plains Life, or any other life insurance subsidiary that we may acquire or form will be able to satisfy the regulatory requirements of the Arizona, Missouri, or South Dakota Department of Insurance or a similar department in any other state in which it may wish to transact business.

As the holder of a controlling interest in an Arizona, Missouri, Wyoming, and South Dakota insurance company, the Company also is subject to regulation as an insurance holding company system under Arizona, Missouri, Wyoming, and South Dakota law. The provisions of these laws generally provide for restrictions on a change in control of the insurance holding company, require the filing of certain reports with the relevant department of insurance, and limit the amount of dividends which may be received by the holding company from American Life, Capital Reserve, and Great Plains Life.

On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed into law financial regulatory reform legislation, known as the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”). The Dodd-Frank Act reshapes financial regulations in the United States by creating new regulators, regulating new markets and firms, and providing new enforcement powers to regulators. Virtually all major areas of the Dodd-Frank Act will be subject to regulatory interpretation and implementation rules requiring rulemaking that may take several years to complete. Although the ultimate outcome of the regulatory rulemaking proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act or the regulations promulgated thereunder will have a material impact on our consolidated financial results or financial condition.

MIDWEST HOLDING, INC.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of Midwest should be read in conjunction with its financial statements and the related notes beginning on page F-3 of this proxy statement-prospectus. In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis may contain forward-looking statements that involve risk, uncertainties and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

Overview

Midwest Holding Inc., a Nebraska corporation, (we, us, our, Midwest, the Company or the Registrant) was formed on October 31, 2003 for the primary purpose of becoming a financial services holding company. We presently conduct our business through our wholly owned life insurance subsidiary, American Life & Security Corp. (American Life). Capital Reserve Life Insurance Company (Capital Reserve) is a dormant, wholly owned subsidiary of American Life. On August 5, 2014, Great Plains Financial (Great Plains) was acquired by us. The wholly owned subsidiary, Great Plains Life Assurance Company (Great Plains Life) became a subsidiary of Midwest and then became a wholly owned subsidiary of American Life through a capital contribution from us.

From our inception, we have raised approximately $18.0 million through sales of shares of voting common stock and convertible non-voting preferred stock in several private placements exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and an intrastate offering in the State of Nebraska.

On June 29, 2015 the Company entered into a Plan and Agreement of Exchange (the “Exchange Agreement”) with First Wyoming Capital Corporation (“FWCC”) whereby the shareholders of First Wyoming Capital Corporation will receive shares of Midwest voting common stock equal to an agreed upon value of shares currently owned by the company. The Exchange Agreement will be presented to the FWCC shareholders in the third quarter of 2015 and if approved First Wyoming Capital Corporation will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Midwest.

The Company was a development stage company until American Life commenced insurance operations in 2009. We have incurred significant net losses since inception in 2003 totaling approximately $22.8 million through June 30, 2015. These losses have resulted primarily from costs incurred while raising capital and establishing American Life. We expect to continue to incur significant operating losses until we achieve a volume of in-force life insurance policies that provides premiums that are sufficient to cover our operating expenses.

We commenced our third party administrative (“TPA”) services in 2012 as an additional revenue source. These agreements, for various levels of administrative services on behalf of each customer, generate fee income for us. Services provided to each customer vary based on their needs and can include some or all aspects of back-office accounting and policy administration. We have been able to perform our TPA services using our existing in-house resources.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Midwest’s accounting and reporting policies are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States of America. Preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires it to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The following is an explanation of Midwest’s accounting policies and the estimates considered most significant by management. These accounting policies inherently require significant judgment and assumptions and actual operating results could differ significantly from management’s estimates determined using these policies. Midwest believes the following accounting policies, judgments and estimates are the most critical to the understanding of its results of operations and financial position. A detailed discussion of significant accounting policies is provided in this proxy statement - prospectus in Note 1 — Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Valuation of Investments

Midwest’s principal investments are in fixed maturity and equity securities. Fixed maturity and equity securities, which are classified as available for sale, are carried at their fair value in the consolidated balance sheets, with unrealized gains or losses recorded in comprehensive income (loss). It utilizes external independent third-party pricing services to determine the fair values on investment securities available for sale. Midwest has routines, processes, and controls in place to review prices received from service providers for reasonableness and unusual fluctuations. In the event that a price is not available from a third-party pricing service, Midwest pursues external pricing from brokers. Generally, it pursues and utilizes only one broker quote per security. In doing so, it solicits only brokers which have previously demonstrated knowledge and experience of the subject security.

Additionally, Midwest has investments in development stage entities. These equity securities approximate carrying value and are invested in privately-held holding companies. These securities have no active trading. The fair value for these securities is determined through the use of unobservable assumptions about market participants. These companies are regularly bringing new investors into their entities at or above the prices paid by Midwest. Accordingly, Midwest has asserted that a willing market participant would purchase the security for the same price as it paid until such time as the development stage company commences operations.

Midwest has a policy and process in place to identify securities that could potentially have an impairment that is other-than-temporary. The assessment of whether impairments have occurred is based on a case-by-case evaluation of underlying reasons for the decline in fair value. Midwest considers severity of impairment, duration of impairment, forecasted recovery period, industry outlook, financial condition of the issuer, issuer credit ratings and whether Midwest intend to sell a security or it is more likely than not that we would be required to sell a security prior to the recovery of the amortized cost.

The recognition of other-than-temporary impairment losses on debt securities is dependent on the facts and circumstances related to the specific security. If Midwest intends to sell a security or it is more likely than not that it would be required to sell a security prior to recovery of the amortized cost, the difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized in the income statement as an other-than-temporary impairment. As it relates to debt securities, if Midwest does not expect to recover the amortized basis, does not plan to sell the security and if it is not more likely than not that we would be required to sell a security before the recovery of its amortized cost, the recognition of the other-than-temporary impairment is bifurcated. Midwest recognizes the credit loss portion through earnings in the income statement and the noncredit loss portion in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The credit component of an other-than-temporary impairment is determined by comparing the net present value of projected cash flows with the amortized cost basis of the debt security. The net present value is calculated by discounting Midwest’s best estimate of projected future cash flows at the effective interest rate implicit in the fixed income security at the date of acquisition. Cash flow estimates are driven by assumptions regarding probability of default, including changes in credit ratings, and estimates regarding timing and amount of recoveries associated with a default.

-56-



Deferred Acquisition Costs

Incremental direct costs, net of amounts ceded to reinsurers, that result directly from and are essential to the contract acquisition transaction and would not have been incurred by Midwest had the contract acquisition not occurred, are capitalized, to the extent recoverable, and amortized over the life of the premiums produced. Recoverability of deferred acquisition costs is evaluated periodically by comparing the current estimate of the present value of expected pretax future profits to the unamortized asset balance. If this current estimate is less than the existing balance, the difference is charged to expense.

Value of Business Acquired

Value of business acquired (VOBA) represents the estimated value assigned to purchased companies or insurance in force of the assumed policy obligations at the date of acquisition of a block of policies. At least annually, a review is performed of the models and the assumptions used to develop expected future profits, based upon management’s current view of future events. VOBA is reviewed on an ongoing basis to determine that the unamortized portion does not exceed the expected recoverable amounts. Management’s view primarily reflects Midwest’s experience but can also reflect emerging trends within the industry. Short-term deviations in experience affect the amortization of VOBA in the period, but do not necessarily indicate that a change to the long-term assumptions of future experience is warranted. If it is determined that it is appropriate to change the assumptions related to future experience, then an unlocking adjustment is recognized for the block of business being evaluated. Certain assumptions, such as interest spreads and surrender rates, may be interrelated. As such, unlocking adjustments often reflect revisions to multiple assumptions. The VOBA balance is immediately impacted by any assumption changes, with the change reflected through the statements of comprehensive income as an unlocking adjustment in the amount of VOBA amortized. These adjustments can be positive or negative with adjustments reducing amortization limited to amounts previously deferred plus interest accrued through the date of the adjustment.

In addition, Midwest may consider refinements in estimates due to improved capabilities resulting from administrative or actuarial system upgrades. Midwest considers such enhancements to determine whether and to what extent they are associated with prior periods or simply improvements in the projection of future expected gross profits due to improved functionality. To the extent they represent such improvements, these items are applied to the appropriate financial statement line items in a manner similar to unlocking adjustments.

VOBA is also reviewed on an ongoing basis to determine that the unamortized portion does not exceed the expected recoverable amounts. If it is determined from emerging experience that the premium margins or gross profits are less than unamortized deferred acquisition costs, then the asset will be adjusted downward with the adjustment recorded as an expense in the current period.

Goodwill and Intangibles

Goodwill represents the excess of the amounts paid to acquire subsidiaries and other businesses over the fair value of their net assets at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually in the fourth quarter or more frequently if events or circumstances change that would indicate that a triggering event has occurred.

Midwest performed the first step of the goodwill quantitative analysis to determine if the fair value of the reporting unit was in excess of the carrying value. As of December 31, 2014, the fair value of each of Midwest’s reporting units exceeded the carrying value of the net assets assigned to that unit; therefore it was not required to perform further testing for impairment. Management's determination of the fair value of each reporting unit incorporates peer company price to earnings multiples and assumptions that market participants would make in valuing the reporting unit. Other assumptions can include levels of economic capital, future business growth, and earnings projections.

-57-



Midwest assesses the recoverability of indefinite-lived intangible assets at least annually or whenever events or circumstances suggest that the carrying value of an identifiable indefinite-lived intangible asset may exceed the sum of the future discounted cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. If the asset is considered to be impaired, the amount of any impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the impaired asset.

Midwest compared the carrying value of its identifiable indefinite-lived intangible assets to the sum of the future discounted cash flows. As of December 31, 2014, the sum of the future discounted cash flows exceeded the carrying value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets. The assumptions and estimates used to determine future values are complex and subjective. They can be affected by various factors, including external factors such as industry and economic trends, and internal factors such as changes in Midwest’s business strategy and its revenue forecasts.

Reinsurance

In the normal course of business, Midwest seeks to limit aggregate and single exposure to losses on large risks by purchasing reinsurance. The amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets as reinsurance recoverable include amounts billed to reinsurers on losses paid as well as estimates of amounts expected to be recovered from reinsurers on insurance liabilities that have not yet been paid. Reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses are estimated based upon assumptions consistent with those used in establishing the liabilities related to the underlying reinsured contracts. Insurance liabilities are reported gross of reinsurance recoverable. Management believes the recoverables are appropriately established. Midwest generally strives to diversify its credit risks related to reinsurance ceded. Reinsurance premiums are generally reflected in income in a manner consistent with the recognition of premiums on the reinsured contracts. Reinsurance does not extinguish Midwest’s primary liability under the policies written. Therefore, Midwest regularly evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers including their activities with respect to claim settlement practices and commutations, and establish allowances for uncollectible reinsurance recoverable as appropriate.

Future Policy Benefits

Midwest establishes liabilities for amounts payable under insurance policies, including traditional life insurance and annuities. Generally, amounts are payable over an extended period of time. Liabilities for future policy benefits of traditional life insurance have been computed by using a net level premium method based upon estimates at the time of issue for investment yields, mortality and withdrawals. These estimates include provisions for experience less favorable than initially expected. Mortality assumptions are based on industry experience expressed as a percentage of standard mortality tables. Such liabilities are reviewed quarterly by an independent consulting actuary.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities at the enacted tax rates. The principal assets and liabilities giving rise to such differences are investments, insurance reserves, and deferred acquisition costs. A deferred tax asset valuation allowance is established when there is uncertainty that such assets would be realized. Midwest has no uncertain tax positions that it believes are more-likely-than not that the benefit will not to be realized.

Recognition of Revenues

Revenues on traditional life insurance products consist of direct and assumed premiums reported as earned when due.

Amounts received as payment for annuities and/or non-traditional contracts such as interest sensitive whole life contracts, single payment endowment contracts, single payment juvenile contracts and other contracts without life contingencies are recognized as deposits to policyholder account balances and included in future insurance policy benefits. Revenues from these contracts are comprised of fees earned for administrative and contract-holder services, which are recognized over the period of the contracts, and included in revenue. Deposits are shown as a financing activity in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

-58-



Amounts received under Midwest’s multi-benefit policy form are allocated to the life insurance portion of the multi-benefit life insurance arrangement and the annuity portion based upon the signed policy.

New Accounting Standards

A detailed discussion of new accounting standards is provided in Note 1 — Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Premium Revenue

When American Life commenced operations in September 2009, we began to receive premium income from the sales of life insurance. Capital Reserve, acquired in 2010, has had minimal impact on operations as it has no premium income or related expenses. Management expects the premium writings in American Life and Great Plains to increase in the next few years as the business continues to expand, and as assets and policy reserves grow, expects investment income to grow also.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2014.

Insurance revenues are primarily generated from premium revenues and investment income. Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 are summarized in the table below.

Three months ended June 30,
2015       2014
Premiums $ 993,554 $ 950,858
Investment income, net of expenses 100,121 (3,042 )
Net realized gain (loss) on investments (74,543 ) 16,273
Miscellaneous income 44,392 87,207
$        1,063,524 $        1,051,296

Premium revenue: Premium revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2015 increased due to the issuance of new business in the second quarter of 2015 that was written in the first quarter of 2015. The increase was partially offset by the accounting treatment for renewal premiums on our Accumulator Product. We recognize 100% of the first year payments received for our Accumulator life insurance products as premiums earned when due. In subsequent years, 50% of the payments received on the Accumulator life insurance products are applied toward the traditional life insurance premium. The other 50% of the payments received are applied towards the annuity premium which is recognized as deposits to policyholder account balances and included in future insurance policy benefits rather than revenues. Premiums on our other insurance products are recognized as earned when due. Production of new life premiums slowed during 2014 because actuarial development and regulatory approval of American Life’s new life insurance products took a significant amount of time, as well as changes in field management that delayed product sales. In 2015 management has limited production of new business to preserve surplus of American Life and Security Corporation.

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

Three months ended June 30,
2015       2014
Fixed maturities $ 161,652 $ 102,218
Equity securities 162 -
Cash and short-term investments 1 321
Gain (loss) from equity method investments (55,711 ) (111,861 )
Other 15,799 23,852
121,903 14,530
Less investment expenses (21,782 ) (17,572 )
$        100,121 $        (3,042 )

The increase in investment income for the was primarily due to higher interest income on fixed maturities and the losses from equity method investments decreased due to restating prior year treatment for the investment in Pacific Northwest Corporation from cost to equity method of accounting. Interest income from real estate investments, policy loan interest, and miscellaneous investment income is included in the “Other” line item above.

Net realized gain (loss) on investments: This decreased due to higher losses on the sale of our bonds including the loss of $36,000 on one sale and the $22,500 loss on the sale of the preferred stock in the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Miscellaneous income: Miscellaneous income decreased primarily due to a decrease in our TPA (as mentioned above) fee due to our divestment of our interests in Northern Plains in the third quarter of 2014.

Expenses for the three months ended June, 2015 and 2014 are summarized in the table below.

Three months ended June 30,
2015       2014
Death and other benefits $ 262,432 $ 479,191
Interest credited 126,246 101,956
Increase in benefit reserves 247,927 243,854
Amortization of deferred acquisition costs 123,503 161,937
Salaries and benefits 479,284 622,704
Other operating expenses 647,217 829,666
$        1,886,609 $        2,439,308

Death and other benefits : Death benefits decreased primarily due to a lawsuit settlement of $205,000 for American Life in April 2014. Death benefits continue to be paid out on the Old Reliance block of business. No claims were filed on the American Life and Security Corporation and Great Plains Life Assurance business written as of June 30, 2015.

Interest credited: Interest credited increased as a result of the increase in the Deposit-Type liability owed to the policyholders.

Increase in benefit reserves : The slight increase in benefit reserves reflects the maturity of our in-force block of business as well as the effect of the structure of the initial life insurance policy sold by American Life and Great Plains mentioned above.

Amortization of deferred acquisition costs : The amortization of costs was $123,503 in the three months ended June, 2015, compared to $161,937 in the same period of 2014. This decline is a result of lower policies written in 2014 as discussed above that has not been offset with the slight increase in new first year premium in 2015.

Salaries and benefits : The decrease primarily related to marketing-related salaries transitioned to commission in January 2015 and the efficiencies gained from the acquisition of Great Plains Financial into Midwest.

-60-



Other operating expenses : Other operating expenses decreased due to non-recurring higher professional fees associated with the acquisition of Great Plains Financial and Security Capital in 2014, as well as fees related to routine regulatory examinations occurring in 2014 conducted by agencies from the states of Arizona, Missouri, and Wyoming as required by state statutes.

Net Loss: Net loss was ($823,085) for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to a net loss of ($1,388,012) for the same period in 2014. The decrease in net loss was primarily due to higher investment income, lower deferred acquisition costs, lower salary expense, and a reduction in other operating expenses offset by realized losses on investments and a slight increase in reserves.

Loss attributable to noncontrolling interests: We owned approximately 60% of the capital stock of Security Capital, and approximately 25.7% of Great Plains Financial (Great Plains) through August 5, 2014 at which time we acquired the remaining outstanding common shares of each company not held by us. Great Plains and Security Capital were included in the 2014 consolidated financials and we were allowed to subtract from our earnings the portion of the gain/loss that we did not own, 40% for Security Capital and 74.3% for Great Plains. As a result of the acquisition for the three months ended June 30, 2015, we did not have a gain/loss attributable to noncontrolling interests compared to the same period in 2014.

Net loss attributable to Midwest Holding Inc.: Net loss attributable to Midwest Holding Inc. was ($823,085) for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to a net loss of ($1,137,705) for the same period in 2014. The decrease in the net loss was primarily attributable to higher investment income, lower deferred acquisition costs, lower salary expense, and a reduction in other operating expenses; offset by realized losses on investments and a slight increase in reserves.

Investments

The Company’s overall investment philosophy is reflected in the allocation of its investments. We emphasize investment grade debt securities, with smaller holdings in equity securities, real estate, held for investment, mortgage loans on real estate, held for investment, policy loans, and other investments. The following table shows the carrying value of our investments by investment category and cash and cash equivalents, and the percentage of each to total invested assets as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Reflecting the high quality of securities maintained by us, 100.0% and 99.4% of all fixed maturity securities were investment grade as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Due to the low interest rate environment, we have invested in bonds with “A” or “BBB” ratings in order to achieve higher rates of return.

Market Risks of Financial Instruments

We hold a diversified portfolio of investments that primarily includes cash, bonds, stocks, and real estate, held for investment. Each of these investments is subject to market risks that can affect their return and their fair value. A majority of the investments are fixed maturity securities including debt issues of corporations, U.S. Treasury securities, or securities issued by government agencies. The primary market risks affecting the investment portfolio are interest rate risk, credit risk, and equity risk.

-64-



Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk arises from the price sensitivity of investments to changes in interest rates. Interest and dividend income represent the greatest portion of an investment’s return for most fixed maturity securities in stable interest rate environments. The changes in the fair value of such investments are inversely related to changes in market interest rates. As interest rates fall, the interest and dividend streams of existing fixed-rate investments become more valuable and fair values rise. As interest rates rise, the opposite effect occurs.

We attempt to mitigate its exposure to adverse interest rate movements through staggering the maturities of the fixed maturity investments and through maintaining cash and other short term investments to assure sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations and to address reinvestment risk considerations. Due to the composition of our book of insurance business, we believe it is unlikely that we would encounter large surrender activity due to an interest rate increase that would force the disposal of fixed maturities at a loss.

Credit Risk

We are exposed to credit risk through counterparties and within the investment portfolio. Credit risk relates to the uncertainty associated with an obligor’s ability to make timely payments of principal and interest in accordance with the contractual terms of an instrument or contract. We manage our credit risk through established investment credit policies and guidelines which address the quality of creditors and counterparties, concentration limits, diversification practices and acceptable risk levels. These policies and guidelines are regularly reviewed and approved by senior management.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception, our operations have been financed primarily through the sale of voting common stock and non-voting preferred stock. Its operations have not been profitable and have generated significant operating losses since incorporation in 2003.

Premium income, deposits to policyholder account balances, and investment income are the primary sources of funds while withdrawals of policyholder account balances, investment purchases, policy benefits in the form of claims, and operating expenses are the primary uses of funds. To ensure we will be able to pay future commitments, the funds received as premium payments and deposits are invested in primarily fixed income securities. Funds are invested with the intent that the income from investments, plus proceeds from maturities, will meet our ongoing cash flow needs. The approach of matching asset and liability durations and yields requires an appropriate mix of investments. Our investments consist primarily of marketable debt securities that could be readily converted to cash for liquidity needs. Cash flow projections and cash flow tests under various market interest scenarios are also performed annually to assist in evaluating liquidity needs and adequacy. We currently anticipate that available liquidity sources and future cash flows will be adequate to meet our needs for funds.

Net cash used by operating activities was $655,997 for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The primary sources of cash from operating activities were from premium receipts, collection amounts due from reinsurers, amortization of deferred acquisition costs and policy liabilities. The primary uses of cash from operating activities were from payments of commissions to agents. Net cash used in investing activities was $1,049,238. The primary source of cash was from sales of available for sale securities and mortgage loans. Offsetting this source of cash was the Company’s investments in available for sale securities and the purchase of property and equipment. Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,155,482. The primary source of cash was receipts on deposit type contracts and issuance of common stock. These were offset by withdrawals on deposit type contracts.

At June 30, 2015, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $1,760,294. The Company believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund the anticipated operating expenses and capital expenditures for at least twelve months. The Company has based this estimate upon assumptions that may prove to be wrong and the Company could use its capital resources sooner than they currently expect. The growth of our insurance subsidiaries is uncertain and will require additional capital if they continue to grow. 

-65-



Impact of Inflation

Insurance premiums are established before the amount of losses and loss adjustment expenses, or the extent to which inflation may affect such losses and expenses, are known. The Company attempts, in establishing premiums, to anticipate the potential impact of inflation. If, for competitive reasons, premiums cannot be increased to anticipate inflation, this cost would be absorbed by us. Inflation also affects the rate of investment return on the investment portfolio with a corresponding effect on investment income.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Contractual Obligations

As a “smaller reporting company” the Company is not required to provide the table of contractual obligations required pursuant to this Item.

Results of Operations for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2014 Compared to the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2013

Insurance revenues are primarily generated from premium revenues and investment income. Insurance revenues for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 are summarized in the table below.

      Year Ended December 31,
2014       2013
Premiums $       4,007,810 $       4,331,329
Investment income, net of expenses (9,883 ) 518,049
Net realized gains on investments 346,304 5,736
Miscellaneous income 295,246 246,328
$ 4,639,477 $ 5,101,442

Premium revenue: Premium revenue for 2014 declined to $4,007,810 compared to $4,331,329 in 2013 due primarily to the accounting treatment for renewal premiums on Midwest’s Accumulator Product as well as slowdowns in new business produced in 2014. Midwest recognizes 100% of the first year payments received for its Accumulator life insurance products as premiums earned when due. In subsequent years, 50% of the payments received on the Accumulator life insurance products are applied toward the traditional life insurance premium. The other 50% of the payments received are applied towards the annuity premium which is recognized as deposits to policyholder account balances and included in future insurance policy benefits rather than revenues. Premiums on Midwest’s other insurance products are recognized as earned when due. Production of new life premium slowed during 2014 because regulatory approval of American Life’s new life insurance products took an extraordinary amount of time, as well as changes in field management that delayed product sales. Management believes these delays have been overcome and expects production to increase as Midwest enters 2015, particularly as the newly developed life products are introduced to the field in the first quarter of 2015.

Investment income, net of expenses: The components of net investment income for 2014 and 2013 are as follows:

      Year Ended December 31,
2014       2013
Fixed maturities $       401,138 $       398,377
Equity securities 83 32,493
Cash and short-term investments 3,965 14,804
Equity in the net loss of unconsolidated subsidiaries (438,175 ) (13,720 )
Other 99,477 132,634
66,488 564,588
Less investment expenses (76,371 ) (46,539 )
$ (9,883 ) $ 518,049

The significant decrease for the year ended December 31, 2014 was primarily due to losses on equity method investments incurred in First Wyoming, Pacific Northwest, and Hot Dot (through September 30, 2014). Midwest does not expect to incur such losses in 2015 for Pacific Northwest. Interest from mortgage loans on real estate, income from real estate investments, policy loan interest, and miscellaneous investment income is included in the “Other” line item above.

Net realized gains on investments: Net realized gains on investments for 2014 was $346,304 compared to $5,736 in 2013. Midwest sold its investment in Northern Plains for a realized gain of $90,812 and its investment in Hot Dot for a realized gain of $251,102.

Miscellaneous income: Miscellaneous income for 2014 was $295,246 compared to $246,328 in 2013, due primarily to third-party administration fee income earned in 2014 from non-consolidated entities.

Expenses for the years ended 2014 and 2013 are summarized in the table below.

Year Ended December 31,
      2014 2013
Death and other benefits $      1,326,904       $      676,524
Increase in benefit reserves 1,072,740 1,282,878
Amortization of deferred acquisition costs 625,680 861,840
Salaries and benefits 2,359,140 1,945,723
Other operating expenses 3,160,919 2,556,094
$ 8,545,383 $ 7,323,059

Death and other benefits : Death benefits increased significantly in 2014 compared to 2013 due to a settlement of litigation on one policy issued by Old Reliance where the settlement amount was $205,000 as well as an increase in accrued claims of $46,000 due to the increase in pending claims and twelve month analysis of claims incurred. Management believes it underwriting to be conservative and notes that virtually all claims incurred relate to older blocks of business acquired in the Old Reliance transaction, many of which are offset by policy reserves held. Midwest also incurred an increase in surrender benefits of $252,000 primarily due to policies that held policy loans converting to Extended Term Insurance and Reduced Paid-Up Insurance and the outstanding loans being extinguished.

Increase in benefit reserves : The decrease in benefit reserves reflects the decline in new business for 2014 which was partially offset by the maturity of our in-force block of business as well as the effect of the structure of the initial life insurance policy sold by American Life and Great Plains as indicated above.

Amortization of deferred acquisition costs : Incremental direct costs that result directly from and are essential to the contract acquisition transaction and would not have been incurred by Midwest had the contract acquisition not occurred, are capitalized and amortized over the life of the premiums produced. The majority of these acquisition expenses consist of commissions paid to agents, underwriting costs, and certain marketing expenses. In accordance with GAAP, these costs are capitalized, to the extent recoverable, and amortized over the life of the premiums produced. The amortization of such costs was $625,680 in 2014, compared to $861,840 in 2013 due to a decline in new business written.

-67-



Salaries and benefits : The significant increase in 2014 primarily relates to new hires assigned to the Company’s marketing activities for $279,000 plus benefits. These marketing-related salaries were transitioned to commission in January 2015.

Other expenses : Midwest’s other operating expenses during 2014 increased significantly compared to 2013 due to fees of $249,000 related to routine regulatory examinations that were conducted by agencies from the states of Arizona, Missouri, and Wyoming as required by state statutes, higher professional and related fees of $167,000 associated with the Exchange Agreement with Great Plains and Security Capital, and higher deposit-type interest expense due to the higher outstanding balances.

Net Loss: The significant increase in net loss year-to-date was primarily attributable to lower revenue, including a decline in premium revenue, increased claims and expenses, along with losses incurred by entities acquired by Midwest, and by the costs associated with the Exchange Agreement and state examinations.

Loss attributable to noncontrolling interests: Midwest owned approximately 60% of the capital stock of Security Capital, and approximately 25.7% of Great Plains through August 5, 2014. At which time Great Plains and Security Capital were acquired by Midwest. A loss of ($460,920) recorded through the acquisition date compared to the loss of ($267,481) for 2013 reflects the increased loss attributable to Great Plains.

Net loss attributable to Midwest Holding Inc.: The significant increase in the net loss for 2014 compared to 2013 was primarily to due to lower revenue, including a decline in premium revenue, increased claims and expenses, along with losses of entities acquired by Midwest in 2014, and by the costs associated with the Exchange Agreement and state examinations.

Market Risks of Financial Instruments

Midwest holds a diversified portfolio of investments that primarily includes cash, bonds, stocks, mortgage loans on real estate, held for investment, real estate, held for investment, and notes receivable. Each of these investments is subject to market risks that can affect their return and their fair value. A majority of the investments are fixed maturity securities including debt issues of corporations, U.S. Treasury securities, or securities issued by government agencies. The primary market risks affecting the investment portfolio are interest rate risk, credit risk, and equity risk.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk arises from the price sensitivity of investments to changes in interest rates. Interest and dividend income represent the greatest portion of an investment’s return for most fixed maturity securities in stable interest rate environments. The changes in the fair value of such investments are inversely related to changes in market interest rates. As interest rates fall, the interest and dividend streams of existing fixed-rate investments become more valuable and fair values rise. As interest rates rise, the opposite effect occurs.

Midwest attempts to mitigate our exposure to adverse interest rate movements through staggering the maturities of the fixed maturity investments and through maintaining cash and other short term investments to assure sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations and to address reinvestment risk considerations. Due to the composition of Midwest’s book of insurance business, it believes it is unlikely that we would encounter large surrender activity due to an interest rate increase that would force the disposal of fixed maturities at a loss.

Credit Risk

Midwest is exposed to credit risk through counterparties and within the investment portfolio. Credit risk relates to the uncertainty associated with an obligor’s ability to make timely payments of principal and interest in accordance with the contractual terms of an instrument or contract. Midwest manages our credit risk through established investment credit policies and guidelines which address the quality of creditors and counterparties, concentration limits, diversification practices and acceptable risk levels. These policies and guidelines are regularly reviewed and approved by senior management.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception, Midwest’s operations have been financed primarily through the sale of voting common stock and preferred stock. Midwest’s operations have not been profitable and have generated significant operating losses since it were incorporated in 2003. Midwest expects significant losses for several years.

Aside from raising capital, which has funded the vast majority of Midwest’s operations, premium income, deposits to policyholder account balances, and investment income are the primary sources of funds while withdrawals of policyholder account balances, investment purchases, policy benefits in the form of claims, and operating expenses are the primary uses of funds. To ensure Midwest will be able to pay future commitments, the funds received as premium payments and deposits are invested in primarily fixed income securities. Funds are invested with the intent that the income from investments, plus proceeds from maturities, will in the future meet Midwest’s ongoing cash flow needs. The approach of matching asset and liability durations and yields requires an appropriate mix of investments. Midwest’s investments consist primarily of marketable debt securities that could be readily converted to cash for liquidity needs. Cash flow projections and cash flow tests under various market interest scenarios are also performed annually to assist in evaluating liquidity needs and adequacy. Midwest currently anticipates that available liquidity sources and future cash flows will be adequate to meet its needs for funds for 2015.

Net cash used by operating activities was $2,334,238 for 2014. The primary sources of cash from operating activities were primarily due to the amounts receivable from reinsurers. The primary uses of cash from operating activities were from payments of commissions to agents and settlement of policy liabilities. Net cash used in investing activities was $1,302,128. The primary source of cash was from sales of available for sale securities, the sale of equity securities carried at cost and the sale of the short-term investments. Offsetting this source of cash was Midwest’s purchases of investments in available-for-sale securities, the net change in policy loans and the purchase of property and equipment. Net cash provided by financing activities was $2,568,435. The primary source of cash was receipts on deposit-type contracts and issuance of preferred stock. These were offset by transfers from noncontrolling interest and small repurchases of common stock.

-70-



At December 31, 2014, Midwest had cash and cash equivalents totaling $2,310,047. Midwest believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund the anticipated operating expenses and capital expenditures through at least 2015. Midwest has based this estimate upon assumptions that may prove to be wrong and it could use its capital resources sooner than they currently expect. The growth of its insurance subsidiaries is uncertain and will require additional capital if they continue to grow.

Impact of Inflation

Insurance premiums are established before the amount of losses and loss adjustment expenses, or the extent to which inflation may affect such losses and expenses, are known. Midwest attempts, in establishing premiums, to anticipate the potential impact of inflation. If, for competitive reasons, premiums cannot be increased to anticipate inflation, this cost would be absorbed by Midwest. Inflation also affects the rate of investment return on the investment portfolio with a corresponding effect on investment income.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Midwest has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Contractual Obligations

As a “smaller reporting company” we are not required to provide the table of contractual obligations required pursuant to this Item.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. Description of Transaction and Basis of Presentation

Description of Transaction

On July 31, 2015, Midwest entered into the merger agreement with First Wyoming pursuant to which First Wyoming will merge with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of Midwest, with First Wyoming surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Midwest, and shortly thereafter, merged into Midwest.

At the effective time of the merger, each share of First Wyoming common stock will be converted into the right to receive 1.37 shares of Midwest voting common stock, with fractional shares rounded to a whole share.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements were prepared in accordance with SEC regulations and are intended to show how the merger might have affected the historical financial statements if the merger had been completed on January 1, 2014 for the year ended December 31, 2014, and for the six month period ended June 30, 2015 for the purposes of the statements of operations and June 30, 2015 for the purposes of the balance sheet. To the extent there are significant changes to the combined company's business following completion of the merger, the assumptions and estimates set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements could change significantly.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and for year ended December 31, 2014 combines the historical consolidated statements of operations of Midwest and First Wyoming, giving effect to the merger as if it had occurred on January 1, 2014.

2. Pro Forma Adjustments

The pro forma adjustments are as follows:

      a.       Elimination of Midwest’s equity method investment in First Wyoming at June 30, 2014 of $941,975.

This resulted in converted shares of 4,782,744. The value of the First Wyoming common stock is calculated at $.82 per share for a value of $3,921,850. Common stock at par value of $.001 per share resulted in an increase to Midwest voting common stock of $4,783 and the remaining is set forth in Additional Paid in Capital.

Board Leadership Structure

Midwest does not have a formal policy regarding the separation of its Chairman and CEO (principal executive officer) positions. The role of Chairman and CEO currently are held separately. Rick Meyer serves as Chairman and Mark Oliver serves as CEO. The Board of Directors believes that Midwest’s current leadership structure is appropriate, given the size of the Company and the Board, and achieves important objectives for the Company.

Rick Meyer is positioned to draw on his relationships with other Board members and his experience within the industry to effectively discharge the duties of Chairman.

-77-



Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

The Board of Directors as a whole has responsibility for risk oversight. The oversight responsibility of the Board is enabled by management reporting processes that are designed to provide visibility to the Board about the identification, assessment and management of critical risks. This reporting is designed to focus on areas that include strategic, operational, financial and reporting, compensation, compliance and other risks. For example, the Board of Directors regularly receives reports regarding the investments and securities held by Midwest’s primary insurance subsidiary, American Life, as well as other reports regarding American Life's insurance business.

Director Independence

Presently, Midwest is not required to comply with the director independence requirements of any securities exchange. In determining whether Midwest’s directors are independent, however, it intends to comply with the rules of the NYSE MKT. The NYSE MKT listing standards define an “independent director” generally as a person, other than an officer of a company, who does not have a relationship with the company that would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment.

The NYSE MKT listing requirements state that a majority of a company’s board of directors must be independent. Our Board of Directors includes five independent directors, namely Jim Ballard, Jack Theeler, Dana Stapleton, Steve Conner and Milton Tenopir. These five independent directors constitute a majority of the Board of Directors.

Board Meetings and Committees; Annual Meeting Attendance

During 2014, four meetings of the Board of Directors were held. All members of the Board of Directors attended 100% of these meetings, except Jim Ballard, who missed one meeting.

Because Midwest is not listed on any securities exchange, it is not subject to any listing requirements mandating the establishment of any particular committees. As a result, the Board of Directors does not presently have any standing committees. All functions of a Nominating Committee, Audit Committee and Compensation Committee are performed by our Board of Directors as a whole.

Audit Committee

Due to the size and structure of Midwest and its Board of Directors, and due to the fact that Midwest only recently registered its voting common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Board does not have a standing Audit Committee. As a result, it does not have an Audit Committee charter. The functions that would be performed by the Audit Committee have been performed by the entire Board of Directors. The Board views its duties as an Audit Committee as follows: (i) review recommendations of independent registered accountants concerning Midwest’s accounting principles, internal controls and accounting procedures and practices; (ii) review the scope of the annual audit; (iii) approve or disapprove each professional service or type of service other than standard auditing services to be provided by the independent registered public accountants; and (iv) review and discuss with the independent registered public accountants the audited financial statements.

Nominating Committee and Selection of Director Candidates

Due to the size and structure of Midwest and its Board of Directors, and due to the fact that Midwest only recently registered its Common Stock with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, the Board does not have a standing Nominating Committee. It also does not have a charter regarding the nominating process. The functions that would be performed by the Nominating Committee have been performed by the entire Board of Directors.

Shareholders who wish to recommend nominees for consideration by the Board of Directors or Nominating Committee (when established) must submit their nominations in writing to Midwest’s Chairman. Submissions must include sufficient biographical information concerning the recommended individual for the Board of Directors or Nominating Committee to consider, including age, five-year employment history (with employer names and a description of the employer’s business, whether such individual can read and comprehend basic financial statements, and other board memberships if any) held by the recommended individual. The submission must be accompanied by a written consent of the individual to stand for election if nominated by the Board of Directors or Nominating Committee and to serve if elected by the shareholders. The Board of Directors or Nominating Committee may consider such shareholder recommendations when it evaluates and recommends nominees to the Board of Directors for submission to the shareholders at each Annual Meeting.

-78-



In addition, shareholders may nominate directors for election without consideration by the Board of Directors or Nominating Committee. Any shareholder of record may nominate an individual by following the procedures and deadlines set forth in the “Proposals for 2016 _Annual Meeting of Shareholders” section of this proxy statement – prospectus and by complying with the provisions of Midwest’s Bylaws.

Compensation Committee

Due to the size and structure of Midwest and its Board of Directors, and due to the fact that Midwest only recently registered its voting common stock with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, the Board does not currently have a standing Compensation Committee. As a result, it does not have a Compensation Committee charter. The functions that would be performed by the Compensation Committee have been performed by the entire Board of Directors.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

At the present time, all functions of a Compensation Committee are performed by our Board of Directors as a whole. Rick D. Meyer and Mark A. Oliver are members of our Board of Directors who also are executive officers and employees of Midwest. Directors who also serve as officers of Midwest do not participate in any deliberations of the Board of Directors concerning executive officer compensation.

Rick D. Meyer, our Chairman and a member of our Board of Directors, also serves as a member of the Boards of Directors of Northstar Financial Corporation, a Minnesota holding company ("Northstar"), First Wyoming Capital Corporation, a Wyoming life insurance holding company ("First Wyoming"), New Mexico Capital Corporation, a New Mexico holding company ("New Mexico"), and Pacific Northwest Capital Corp., an Idaho holding company ("Pacific Northwest"), which Boards of Directors perform the functions of a Compensation Committee for these companies. Rick D. Meyer is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Northstar, Chairman of First Wyoming, Co-Chairman of Pacific Northwest, and Executive VP of New Mexico. Mark A. Oliver, our CEO/Treasurer and a member of our Board of Directors, also serves as a member of the Boards of Directors of Northstar, First Wyoming, New Mexico and Pacific Northwest. Mr. Oliver is the President, COO, Treasurer and CFO of Northstar, CEO, CFO, and Treasurer of First Wyoming, Chairman and CEO of New Mexico and the Treasurer of Pacific Northwest. Les Meyer, a member of our Board of Directors, also serves as a member of the Board of Directors of First Wyoming, where he also serves as President. Milton Tenopir, a member of our Board of Directors, also serves as a member of the Board of Directors of Northstar.

Additional information concerning transactions between Midwest and entities affiliated with members of its Board of Directors is included in “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” below.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Executive officers, directors and “beneficial owners” of more than ten percent of Midwest’s Common Stock must file initial reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act. SEC regulations require these reporting persons to furnish us with copies of all Forms 3, 4 and 5, and amendments thereto, that they file with the SEC. Midwest believes that during 2014 _and through the date of this filing all of its officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners complied with all filing requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

Code of Ethics

Midwest has adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to its officers, directors and employees of Midwest in accordance with applicable federal securities laws. A copy of the Code of Ethics was filed as an exhibit to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. These documents may be reviewed by accessing Midwest’s public filings at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, a copy of the Code of Ethics will be provided without charge upon request to Midwest shareholders. Midwest intends to disclose any amendments to or waivers of certain provisions of the Code of Ethics in a Current Report on Form 8-K.

-80-



Midwest’s Board of Directors approved the issuance to Mark Oliver of 40,000 shares of voting common stock on March 7, 2010. The shares were issued for $1.15 per share, which was the approximate book value of the shares as of December 31, 2009. The purchase price was paid by Mr. Oliver through delivery of a five-year promissory note secured by a pledge of the shares purchased. The terms of the note were fulfilled in 2014.

Employment Agreements

Midwest has entered into an Employment Agreement with Rick Meyer, our Chairman. This Employment Agreement was effective on December 1, 2011 and is for a three-year term, subject to termination upon notice. On each anniversary, the Board may extend the agreement for an additional year. The Board extended the agreement in 2014. Pursuant to this agreement, Mr. Meyer is entitled to receive:

If Midwest terminates Rick Meyer or Mark Oliver without “cause” as defined in the applicable employment agreement, Midwest will be required to pay such person his base salary and provide certain benefits for the duration of the remaining term of the employment agreement or 6 months, whichever is greater. This payment would be made in exchange for an agreement not to engage in certain competitive activities with Midwest during that period.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Related Party Transactions

In September 2009, Midwest entered into a general agency agreement with Great American Marketing, a corporation controlled by Travis Meyer, who was its President and Vice Chairman and a member of Midwest’s Board of Directors through October, 2014. Under the agreement, Great American was responsible for training, recruiting and oversight of American Life marketing associates, including assuming responsibility for conventions, contests, prizes and awards. This agreement was approved by the Midwest Board of Directors and the Nebraska Insurance Department. In exchange, Great American received an override on all first-year premiums written. Great American had no underwriting or claims management authority. During the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, Midwest paid Great American Marketing $5,793 and $25,608 and $49,327, respectively, under the terms of the agency agreement. The general agency agreement was terminated in October, 2011.

In July 2009, Midwest acquired 350,000 shares of common stock of First Wyoming Capital Corporation (“First Wyoming”), a development stage insurance holding company formed under Wyoming law, for $35,000 and the funding of $20,000 of pre-incorporation expenses.

As a result of obtaining control of First Wyoming, Midwest changed its method of carrying the investment in First Wyoming from cost to equity as required by generally accepted accounting principles.

These past and present relationships with similar businesses could result in a potential conflict of interest should Midwest decide to offer life insurance products in any of the states in which these other companies do business to the extent that a relationship with the other companies is on-going. In addition, a potential conflict of interest could arise if any of those companies chose to do business in Nebraska to the extent that a relationship with the other companies is on-going. For that reason, any decision relating to such business will be made by the disinterested members of the board of directors and any member of the board having an interest in another company will recuse himself or herself from voting or discussing the matter.

COMPARISON OF RIGHTS OF SECURITYHOLDERS

Upon consummation of the merger, the holders of issued and outstanding First Wyoming common stock who have not properly asserted appraisal rights will receive Midwest voting common stock. The rights of the holders of Midwest shares are governed by Midwest’s Articles of Incorporation, its bylaws and Nebraska law, while the rights of holders of First Wyoming shares are governed by its Articles of Incorporation, bylaws and Wyoming law. In most respects, the rights of holders of Midwest voting common stock and holders of First Wyoming shares are similar. The following is a brief comparison of the rights of the holders of First Wyoming stock, and Midwest voting common stock.

-84-



AUTHORIZED SHARES

The total number of shares of classes of capital stock which Midwest is authorized to issue is 140,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share, with 120,000,000 shares of voting common stock and 20,000,000 shares of non-voting common stock authorized, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which 2,000,000 shares of Convertible Series A Preferred Stock have been authorized with a par value of $0.001 per share and 1,000,000 shares of Convertible Series B Preferred Stock have been authorized with a par value of $0.001 per share. As of the date hereof, there are 74,159 shares of Convertible Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding, 102,669 shares of Convertible Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding, and 13,167,654 shares of voting common stock issued and outstanding and no shares of non-voting common stock are issued or outstanding. The total number of warrants outstanding is 1,179, which warrants are exercisable through December 31, 2016 for an aggregate 11,790 shares of Midwest voting common stock at an exercise price of $6.50 per share. All of the foregoing issued and outstanding shares have been duly issued, and are fully paid and non-assessable.

The aggregate number of shares which First Wyoming is authorized to issue is 100,000,000 shares of common stock of which 4,495,354 of such shares are issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable, and 550,000 shares of preferred stock with none of such shares issued or outstanding.

DIVIDEND RIGHTS

If Midwest were to declare and pay any cash dividends, the cash dividends paid upon each share of Midwest voting common stock would be the same for all shares.

If First Wyoming were to declare and pay any dividends, the dividends paid upon the shares of First Wyoming stock would be the same for all shares.

VOTING RIGHTS

Those who hold First Wyoming stock on the date the merger (other than Midwest) becomes effective will be entitled as a group to hold approximately 4,783,081 shares of Midwest voting common stock, or approximately 26.6% of the Midwest shares that Midwest anticipates will then be outstanding.

Each outstanding share of Midwest and First Wyoming voting common stock is entitled to one vote upon each matter submitted to a vote of the shareholders.

Voting for Directors

Directors of Midwest and First Wyoming are elected at the annual meeting of stockholders by a plurality of the votes cast at the election. Midwest’s Bylaws provide for cumulative voting rights in the elections of directors. First Wyoming shareholders do not have cumulative voting rights in the elections of directors pursuant to Wyoming law. The right to cumulate votes for directors means that the shareholders are entitled to multiply the number of votes that they are entitled to cast by the number of directors for whom they are entitled to vote and cast the product for a single candidate or distribute the product among two or more candidates.

Voting other than for Directors – Midwest

The Bylaws of Midwest provide that when, with respect to any action to be taken by Midwest shareholders, the voting requirements shall be as provided by the Nebraska Business Corporation Act, which generally provide that when a quorum exists, action on a matter, other than the election of directors, by a voting group shall be approved if the votes cast within the voting group favoring the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action unless the articles of incorporation or the act requires a greater number of affirmative votes. However, amendments to the Midwest Articles of Incorporation and approval of mergers, share exchanges and extraordinary asset transfers require that each voting group entitled to vote separately on the matter require the affirmative vote of a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast by that voting group.

Voting other than for Directors – First Wyoming

For First Wyoming the Wyoming Business Corporation Act ("WBCA") generally requires shares entitled to vote as a separate voting group may take action on a matter at a meeting only if a quorum of those shares exists with respect to that matter. Unless the articles of incorporation or the WBCA provide otherwise, a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter by the voting group constitutes a quorum of that voting group for action on that matter and if a quorum exists, action on a matter (other than the election of directors) by a voting group is approved if the votes cast within the voting group favoring the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action, unless the articles of incorporation or the WBCA require a greater number of affirmative votes.

-85-



With respect to amendments to the articles of incorporation, the amendment to be adopted must be approved by: (i) a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the amendment by any voting group with respect to which the amendment would change the rights, terms or preferences of the shares comprising such voting group or if such amendment creates a new class of shares, or modifies an existing class of shares that would have economic rights that are prior or superior to the shares held by the voting group; and (ii) if a quorum exists, the amendment is approved if the votes cast within the voting group favoring the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action.

With respect to mergers, conversions, share exchanges and sales of asset outside of the ordinary course of business, the WBCA generally requires the approval of the shareholders at a meeting at which a quorum exists by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, and if by voting group, by each voting group, the approval of each voting group at a meeting at which a quorum of the voting group is present.

A majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote constitutes a quorum under the bylaws of First Wyoming. The bylaws of Midwest provide that a quorum for the transaction of business and voting requirements shall be as provided by Nebraska corporate law. Nebraska currently provides that a majority of the shares entitled to vote constitutes a quorum.

The bylaws of Midwest provide that the shareholders may take action without a meeting, and all shareholders entitled to vote must consent to the action in writing. Regarding First Wyoming, the WBCA provides that shareholders may take action without a meeting if all shareholders entitled to vote consent to the action in writing.

The bylaws of First Wyoming provide that the power to alter, amend, or repeal its bylaws is vested either in the Boards of Directors or the shareholders. Midwest’s bylaws provide that Midwest’s Board of Directors has the power to alter, amend and repeal Midwest’s bylaws not inconsistent with the laws of Nebraska.

Special meetings of First Wyoming shareholders may be called at any time by the President, Chair of the Board, a majority of the Board of Directors or by holders of at least 10% of the shares entitled to vote, for any purpose or purposes for which meetings may be lawfully called. Special meetings of Midwest shareholders may be called by Midwest’s President, by its Board of Directors, or by the holders of not less than ten percent (10%) or more of all Midwest shares entitled to vote.

A majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote constitutes a quorum under the bylaws of First Wyoming. The bylaws of Midwest provide that a quorum for the transaction of business shall be a provided by Nebraska law, which currently provides that the votes entitled to be cast on a matter by a voting group shall constitute a quorum of that voting group.

PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS

Authorized Midwest and First Wyoming shares may be issued at any time, and from time to time, in such amounts and for such consideration as may be fixed by the Boards of Directors of the respective corporations. No holder of shares has any pre-emptive or preferential right to purchase or to subscribe for any shares of capital stock or other securities which may be issued by their respective corporations.

LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS

As authorized by Nebraska law, Midwest’s Articles of Incorporation contain a provision - Article VIII Personal Liability of Directors - that states a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for any action taken, or any failure to take action as a director except for liability (i) for the amount of a financial benefit received by a director to which he or she is not entitled; (ii) for intentional infliction of harm on the corporation or its shareholders; (iii) for a violation of Neb. Rev. Stat. §21-2096 (which relates to unlawful distribution of assets); and (iv) for an intentional violation of criminal law. Likewise, First Wyoming’s bylaws contain a provision that states that to the no director shall be liable to the corporation or the stockholders for monetary damages for actions taken in good faith.

In addition, Midwest’s Articles of Incorporation contain a provision – Article VI – Indemnification - that states that it shall indemnify its directors and officers, to the fullest extent permitted by law, for liability to any person for any action taken, or any failure to take any action, as a director or officer. Wyoming law contains a similar provision.

There is no provision in the Articles of Incorporation of First Wyoming limiting the liability of directors. The WBCA provides that a director is not liable for any action taken, or any failure to take an action, as a director if he or she acted in good faith, with the care of an ordinary prudent person in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation.

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Midwest or First Wyoming, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of shares are entitled to share, on a share-for share basis, any of the assets or funds in their respective corporations which are distributable to the shareholders upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Midwest Holding Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Midwest Holding Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. Our audits also included the financial statement schedules of Midwest Holding Inc. listed in Item 15. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and schedules based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Midwest Holding Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

Note 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of operations: Midwest Holding Inc. (Midwest or the Company) was incorporated in Nebraska on October 31, 2003 for the primary purpose of organizing a life insurance subsidiary. From 2003 to May 2009, Midwest was focused on raising capital, first through private placements and finally through an intra-state offering of 2,000,000 common shares at $5.00 per share. These offerings sold out, including a 10% over sale on the final offering. Midwest became operational during the year ended December 31, 2009. Upon capitalizing American Life & Security Corp. (American Life) and acquiring Capital Reserve Life Insurance Company (Capital Reserve), as described below, Midwest deemed it prudent to raise additional capital to fund primarily the expansion of the life insurance operation. Beginning in 2009, American Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Midwest, was authorized to do business in the State of Nebraska. American Life was also granted a certificate of authority to write insurance in the State of Nebraska on September 1, 2009. American Life is engaged in the business of underwriting, selling, and servicing life insurance and annuity policies.

During the second quarter of 2010, American Life completed the purchase of a 100% ownership interest in Capital Reserve, a dormant insurance company domiciled in Missouri. Capital Reserve is licensed in the states of Kansas and Missouri. Currently, 100% of the policies issued by Capital Reserve are reinsured to an unaffiliated reinsurer.

In August, 2010, Midwest began an exempt offering of shares to existing holders in the state of Nebraska at $5.00 per share. Midwest raised approximately $7,400,000 before capital raising expenses through this offering that extended into 2011. Additionally, Midwest offered a newly-created class of preferred shares to residents of Latin America. The preferred shares are non-voting and convert to common shares in 2015 at the rate of 1.3 common shares for each preferred share (subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments). The shares were sold at $6.00 per share and a total of 74,159 were sold in 2010.

On November 8, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Old Reliance Insurance Company (Old Reliance), an Arizona-domiciled life insurance company. The plan provided for American Life to merge into Old Reliance following the purchase, with the survivor changing its name to American Life & Security Corp. In the transaction, the sole shareholder of Old Reliance received: (i) Approximately $1.6 million in cash, (ii) $500,000 in the form of a surplus debenture issued by American Life, and (iii) 150,000 shares of voting common stock of the Company ($750,000 fair value). The transaction including the merger was consummated on August 3, 2011.

During the third quarter of 2011, control was attained on a previous noncontrolling interest in Security Capital Corporation (Security Capital), an Arkansas corporation formerly known as Arkansas Security Capital Corporation. Security Capital is a development stage company that has not conducted operations apart from raising capital.

In August 2011, the Company acquired a controlling interest ownership of Hot Dot, Inc. (Hot Dot), a company organized to develop, manufacture, and market the Alert Patch. Additionally, Midwest controlled a majority of the Board of Directors. During the third quarter of 2011, Hot Dot purchased certain assets of IonX Capital Holding Inc. The consideration paid by Hot Dot was $1.05 million in cash. The purchase price was primarily allocated to a patent asset for a thermochromatic patch for monitoring and detecting body temperature. On September 12, 2012, Hot Dot repurchased 1,000,000 shares of Hot Dot stock from Midwest for a purchase price of $750,000. As a result of the stock repurchase by Hot Dot, Midwest ceased to have a controlling financial interest in Hot Dot and subsequently deconsolidated Hot Dot on the effective date of the stock repurchase. Hot Dot is a development stage company that has not conducted operations apart from raising capital and acquiring the patent mentioned previously. Hot Dot repurchased the 1,500,000 remaining shares owned by Midwest on October 1, 2014 for $775,000 resulting in a gain of 251,102.

The Company commenced its third party administrative (“TPA”) services in 2012 as an additional revenue source. These agreements, for various levels of administrative services on behalf of each company, generate fee income for the Company. Services provided to each company vary based on their needs and can include some or all aspects of back-office accounting and policy administration. The Company has been able to perform its TPA services using its existing in-house resources.

F-8



During the first quarter of 2012, the Company purchased additional shares of Great Plains Financial Corporation (Great Plains). As a result of the increased ownership, the Company changed its method of carrying the investment from cost to equity. During the third quarter of 2012, the Company began providing TPA services to Great Plains and Great Plains’ wholly owned subsidiary, Great Plains Life Assurance Company (Great Plains Life). At the end of the third quarter of 2012, Mark Oliver, our Chief Executive Officer and a member of our Board of Directors, was appointed to serve as President of the Company in addition to his role as Executive Vice President, CEO, and CFO of Great Plains. During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company purchased additional shares of Great Plains, which increased our ownership to 24.5% as of December 31, 2012. As a result of the Company’s ability to significantly influence the operations of Great Plains, the Company began consolidating Great Plains during fourth quarter of 2012. An additional purchase of shares in the first quarter of 2013 increased our ownership of Great Plains to 25.7% as of December 31, 2013. As of August 5, 2014, the Great Plains remaining 74.3% ownership was acquired by Midwest.

During the first quarter of 2014, the Company purchased additional shares of Pacific Northwest Capital Corporation (PNC) which increased Midwest’s ownership to 22.4% which required us to change our method of carrying the investment from cost to equity.

Basis of presentation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Midwest, our wholly owned subsidiary American Life, American Life’s wholly owned subsidiaries Capital Reserve and Great Plains Life Assurance Company. Hereafter, entities are collectively referred to as the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us.”

Management evaluates the Company as one reporting segment in the life insurance industry. The Company is primarily engaged in the underwriting and marketing of life insurance products through its subsidiaries. The product offerings, the underwriting processes, and the marketing processes are similar. The Company’s product offerings consist of a multi-benefit life insurance policy that combines cash value life insurance with a tax deferred annuity and a single premium term life product. These product offerings are underwritten, marketed, and managed primarily as a group of similar products on an overall portfolio basis.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation and certain immaterial reclassifications have been made to the prior period results to conform to the current period’s presentation with no impact on results of operations or total stockholders’ equity.

Investments: All fixed maturities and a portion of the equity securities owned by the Company are considered available-for-sale and are included in the consolidated financial statements at their fair value as of the financial statement date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized using the scientific-yield method over the term of the bonds. Realized gains and losses on securities sold during the year are determined using the specific identification method. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of applicable income taxes, are included in comprehensive loss.

Declines in the fair value of available for sale securities below their amortized cost are evaluated to assess whether any other-than-temporary impairment loss should be recorded. In determining if these losses are expected to be other-than-temporary, the Company considers severity of impairment, duration of impairment, forecasted recovery period, industry outlook, financial condition of the issuer, issuer credit ratings, and the intent and ability of the Company to hold the investment until the recovery of the cost.

The recognition of other-than-temporary impairment losses on debt securities is dependent on the facts and circumstances related to the specific security. If the Company intends to sell a security or it is more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell a security prior to recovery of the amortized cost, the difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as an other-than-temporary impairment. If the Company does not expect to recover the amortized basis, does not plan to sell the security and if it is not more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell a security before the recovery of its amortized cost, the recognition of the other-than-temporary impairment is bifurcated. The Company recognizes the credit loss portion in the income statement and the noncredit loss portion in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The credit component of an other-than-temporary impairment is determined by comparing the net present value of projected cash flows with the amortized cost basis of the debt security. The net present value is calculated by discounting the Company’s best estimate of projected future cash flows at the effective interest rate implicit in the fixed income security at the date of acquisition. Cash flow estimates are driven by assumptions regarding probability of default, including changes in credit ratings, and estimates regarding timing and amount of recoveries associated with a default. No other-than-temporary impairments were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2014 or 2013.

F-9



Included within the Company’s equity securities carried at cost and equity method investments are certain privately placed common stocks for several development stage holding companies organized for the purpose of forming life insurance subsidiaries. Our privately placed common stocks are recorded using cost basis or the equity method of accounting, depending on the facts and circumstances of each investment. These securities do not have a readily determinable fair value. The Company does not control these entities economically, and therefore does not consolidate these entities. The Company reports the earnings from privately placed common stocks accounted for under the equity method in net investment income.

Investment income consists of interest, dividends, gains and losses from equity method investments, and real estate income, which are recognized on an accrual basis and amortization of premiums and discounts.

Mortgage loans on real estate, held for investment: Mortgage loans on real estate, held for investment are carried at unpaid principal balances. Interest income on mortgage loans on real estate, held for investment is recognized in net investment income at the contract interest rate when earned. A mortgage loan is considered to be impaired when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the mortgage agreement. Valuation allowances on mortgage loans are established based upon losses expected by management to be realized in connection with future dispositions or settlement of mortgage loans, including foreclosures. The Company establishes valuation allowances for estimated impairments on an individual loan basis as of the balance sheet date. Such valuation allowances are based on the excess carrying value of the loan over the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate. These evaluations are revised as conditions change and new information becomes available. No valuation allowance was established for mortgage loans on real estate, held for investment as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, primarily due the sale of three of the mortgage loans during the fourth quarter of 2014 with the two remaining loans being sold during January 2015.

Policy loans: Policy loans are carried at unpaid principal balances. Interest income on policy loans is recognized in net investment income at the contract interest rate when earned. No valuation allowance is established for these policy loans as the amount of the loan is fully secured by the death benefit of the policy and cash surrender value.

Notes receivable: Notes receivable are stated at their outstanding principal amount. Outstanding notes accrue interest based on the terms of the respective note agreements.

Short-term investments: Short-term investments are stated at cost and consist of certificates of deposit. At December 31, 2014 the Company did not have any short-term investments. At December 31, 2013, the Company had certificates of deposits where the cost of those investments approximated fair value due to the short duration to maturity.

Real estate, held for investment: Real estate, held for investment is comprised of ten condominiums in Hawaii acquired in the purchase of Old Reliance. Real estate is carried at depreciated cost. Depreciation on residential real estate is computed on a straight-line basis over 50 years.

Cash and cash equivalents: The Company considers all liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2014, the Company had no cash equivalents. At December 31, 2013, cash equivalents consisted primarily of money market accounts. The Company has cash on deposit with financial institutions which at times may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. The Company has not suffered any losses in the past and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk in these balances.

F-10



Deferred acquisition costs: Deferred acquisition costs consist of incremental direct costs, net of amounts ceded to reinsurers, that result directly from and are essential to the contract acquisition transaction and would not have been incurred by the Company had the contract acquisition not occurred, are capitalized, to the extent recoverable, and amortized over the life of the premiums produced. The Company evaluates the types of acquisition costs it capitalizes. The Company capitalizes agent compensation and benefits and other expenses that are directly related to the successful acquisition of contracts. The Company also capitalizes expenses directly related to activities performed by the Company, such as underwriting, policy issuance, and processing fees incurred in connection with successful contract acquisitions.

Recoverability of deferred acquisition costs is evaluated periodically by comparing the current estimate of the present value of expected pretax future profits to the unamortized asset balance. If this current estimate is less than the existing balance, the difference is charged to expense. The Company performs a recoverability analysis annually in the fourth quarter unless events occur which require an immediate review. The Company determined during its December 31, 2014 analysis that all deferred acquisition costs were recoverable.

The following table provides information about deferred acquisition costs for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Year Ended December 31,
2014       2013
Balance at beginning of period $ 2,722,819 $ 2,650,957
Capitalization of commissions, sales and issue expenses 549,831 933,702
Gross amortization (625,680 ) (861,840 )
Balance at end of period $        2,646,970 $        2,722,819

Value of business acquired: Value of business acquired represents the estimated value assigned to purchased companies or insurance in force of the assumed policy obligations at the date of acquisition of a block of policies. As previously discussed, American Life purchased Capital Reserve during 2010, resulting in an initial capitalized asset for value of business acquired of $116,326. This asset is being amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the earnings pattern of the related policies, over ten years. The Company recognized amortization expense of $11,633 for each of the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 relative to this transaction.

Additionally, the Company paid an upfront ceding commission of $375,000 to Security National Life Insurance Company (SNL). An initial asset was established for the value of this business acquired totaling $348,010, representing primarily the ceding commission. This asset is being amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the earnings pattern of the related policies, over ten years, resulting in annual amortization of $34,801. Amortization recognized during each of the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 relative to this transaction totaled $34,801. The agreement has an automatic renewal provision unless the Company notifies SNL of its intention not to renew, no less than 180 days prior to the expiration of the then current agreement. Each automatic renewal period is for one year. This reinsurance remains in place.

Additionally, American Life purchased Old Reliance in August 2011, resulting in an initial capitalized asset for value of business acquired of $824,485. This asset is being amortized over the life of the related policies (refer to “revenue recognition and related expenses” discussed later regarding amortization methods). Amortization recognized during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 totaled $41,951 and $96,353, respectively.

Recoverability of value of business acquired is evaluated periodically by comparing the current estimate of the present value of expected pretax future profits to the unamortized asset balance. If this current estimate is less than the existing balance, the difference is charged to expense. The Company performs a recoverability analysis annually in the fourth quarter unless events occur which require an immediate review. The Company determined during its December 31, 2014 and 2013, analysis that all value of business acquired were recoverable.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill represents the excess of the amounts paid to acquire subsidiaries and other businesses over the fair value of their net assets at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually in the fourth quarter or more frequently if events or circumstances change that would indicate that a triggering event has occurred.

F-11



In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08 which amends the rules for testing goodwill for impairment. Under the new rules, an entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary.

The Company elected to forgo the qualitative impairment analysis and performed the first step of the goodwill quantitative analysis to determine if the fair value of the reporting unit was in excess of the carrying value. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the fair value of the Company’s reporting units exceeded the carrying value of the net assets assigned to that unit and the Company was not required to perform further testing for impairment. Management's determination of the fair value of each reporting unit incorporates multiple inputs including, peer company price to earnings multiples and assumptions that market participants would make in valuing the reporting unit. Other assumptions can include levels of economic capital, future business growth, and earnings projections.

The Company assesses the recoverability of indefinite-lived intangible assets at least annually or whenever events or circumstances suggest that the carrying value of an identifiable indefinite-lived intangible asset may exceed the sum of the future discounted cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. If the asset is considered to be impaired, the amount of any impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the impaired asset.

The Company compared the carrying value of its identifiable indefinite-lived intangible assets to the sum of the future discounted cash flows. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the sum of the future discounted cash flows exceeded the carrying value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets. The assumptions and estimates used to determine future values are complex and subjective. They can be affected by various factors, including external factors such as industry and economic trends, and internal factors such as changes in our business strategy and our revenue forecasts.

Property and equipment: Property and equipment are stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation. Annual depreciation is primarily computed using straight-line methods for financial reporting and straight-line and accelerated methods for tax purposes. Furniture and equipment is depreciated over 3 to 7 years and computer software and equipment is generally depreciated over 3 years. Depreciation expense totaled $174,658 and $167,982 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The accumulated depreciation totaled $713,166 and $545,646 as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Replacements and improvements which extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized. The net book value of assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in earnings.

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable and exceeds estimated future undiscounted cash flows of the asset. A recognized impairment loss reduces the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. The Company determined that no such events occurred that would indicate the carrying amounts may not be recoverable.

Reinsurance: In the normal course of business, the Company seeks to limit aggregate and single exposure to losses on large risks by purchasing reinsurance. The amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets as reinsurance recoverable include amounts billed to reinsurers on losses paid as well as estimates of amounts expected to be recovered from reinsurers on insurance liabilities that have not yet been paid. Reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses are estimated based upon assumptions consistent with those used in establishing the liabilities related to the underlying reinsured contracts. Insurance liabilities are reported gross of reinsurance recoverable. Management believes the recoverables are appropriately established. The Company generally strives to diversify its credit risks related to reinsurance ceded. Reinsurance premiums are generally reflected in income in a manner consistent with the recognition of premiums on the reinsured contracts. Reinsurance does not extinguish the Company’s primary liability under the policies written. Therefore, the Company regularly evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers including their activities with respect to claim settlement practices and commutations, and establishes allowances for uncollectible reinsurance recoverable as appropriate. There were no allowances as of December 31, 2014 or 2013.

F-12



Benefit reserves: The Company establishes liabilities for amounts payable under insurance policies, including traditional life insurance and annuities. Generally, amounts are payable over an extended period of time. Liabilities for future policy benefits of traditional life insurance have been computed by a net level premium method based upon estimates at the time of issue for investment yields, mortality and withdrawals. These estimates include provisions for experience less favorable than initially expected. Mortality assumptions are based on industry experience expressed as a percentage of standard mortality tables.

Policy claims: Policy claims are based on reported claims plus estimated incurred but not reported claims developed from trends of historical data applied to current exposure.

Deposit-type contracts: Deposit-type contracts consist of amounts on deposit associated with deferred annuity riders, premium deposit funds and supplemental contracts without life contingencies.

Income taxes: The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal and various state jurisdictions. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or local tax examinations by tax authorities for the years before 2011. The provision for income taxes is based on income as reported in the financial statements. The income tax provision is calculated under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities at the enacted tax rates. The principal assets and liabilities giving rise to such differences are investments, insurance reserves, and deferred acquisition costs. A deferred tax asset valuation allowance is established when there is uncertainty that such assets would be realized. The Company has no uncertain tax positions that they believe are more-likely-than not that the benefit will not to be realized. When applicable, the Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits and penalties in income tax expense. The Company had no accruals for payments of interest and penalties at December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Revenue recognition and related expenses: Revenues on traditional life insurance products consist of direct and assumed premiums reported as earned when due.

Amounts received as payment for annuities and/or non-traditional contracts such as interest sensitive whole life contracts, single payment endowment contracts, single payment juvenile contracts and other contracts without life contingencies are recognized as deposits to policyholder account balances and included in future insurance policy benefits. Revenues from these contracts are comprised of fees earned for administrative and contract-holder services and cost of insurance, which are recognized over the period of the contracts, and included in revenue. Deposits are shown as a financing activity in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Amounts received under our multi-benefit policy form are allocated to the life insurance portion of the multi-benefit life insurance arrangement and the annuity portion based upon the signed policy.

Liabilities for future policy benefits are provided and acquisition costs are amortized by associating benefits and expenses with earned premiums to recognize related profits over the life of the contracts. Acquisition costs are amortized over the life of the premiums produced. Traditional life insurance products are treated as long duration contracts, which generally remain in force for the lifetime of the insured.

Comprehensive loss: Comprehensive loss is comprised of net loss and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive loss includes unrealized gains and losses from marketable securities classified as available for sale, net of applicable taxes.

Common and preferred stock and earnings (loss) per share: The par value per common share is $0.001 with 120,000,000 shares authorized. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had 13,167,654 and 9,120,239 common shares issued and outstanding, respectively.

F-13



At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had 1,179 warrants outstanding. The warrants are exercisable through December 31, 2016 for 10 shares of voting common stock at an exercise price of $6.50 per share.

The Class A preferred shares are non-cumulative, non-voting and convertible by the holder to voting common shares after May, 2015, at a rate of 1.3 common shares for each preferred share (subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments). There is no stated dividend rate on the Class A shares, but the holders of Class A shares will receive a dividend on each outstanding share of Class A preferred stock in an amount equal to the amount of the dividend payable on each share of common stock. The par value per preferred share is $0.001 with 2,000,000 shares authorized. At both December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had 74,159 Class A preferred shares issued and outstanding.

The Class B preferred shares are non-cumulative, non-voting and convertible by the holder to voting common shares after May 1, 2017 at a rate of 2.0 common shares for each preferred share. The Company may only affect a conversion through a deemed liquidation or initial public offering. The par value per preferred share is $0.001 with 1,000,000 shares authorized. The stated dividend rate on the Class B preferred shares is 7%, commencing after December 31, 2014. At December 31, 2014, the Company had 102,669 Class B preferred shares issued and outstanding. There were no shares outstanding as of December 31, 2013.

The Company evaluated its Class B preferred stock for potential embedded derivatives. In doing so, the company first concluded that the nature of the host contract was more equity than debt like. The embedded conversion features were determined not to be derivatives as net settlement does not exist given the lack of trading activity in the company’s stock. Additionally, the conversion features are clearly and closely related to an equity host contract. Consideration was also given to whether a beneficial conversion feature should be recognized in additional paid in capital for the intrinsic value of the conversion feature at the issuance date. The preferred stock is not mandatorily redeemable but may be redeemed at the time of a deemed liquidation. Holders could elect redemption upon the occurrence of certain deemed liquidation events, including mergers in which the company is a constituent party and sales of substantially all the assets of the corporation, that are within the Company’s control, if the Company does not dissolve the corporation. As such, the preferred stock is recognized in permanent equity. The redemption feature was determined to not be a derivative as settlement would be gross.

Earnings (loss) per share attributable to the Company’s common stockholders were computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each year. The weighted average number of shares outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were 10,654,483 and 9,111,004 shares, respectively.

[ Stock subscription receivable: Our Board of Directors approved the issuance of 40,000 shares of voting common stock on March 7, 2010 to Mark Oliver, our Chief Executive Officer and a member of our Board of Directors. The shares were issued for $1.15 per share, which was the approximate fair value of the shares as of the date of issuance. The purchase price was paid by Mr. Oliver through delivery of a five-year promissory note secured by a pledge of the shares purchased. The balance of the receivable as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $0 and $1,917, respectively. This receivable was partially forgiven over the periods; resulting in non-cash compensation expense of $1,917 and $11,500 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.]

 

Risk and uncertainties: Certain risks and uncertainties are inherent in our day-to-day operations and in the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements. The more significant of those risks and uncertainties, as well as the Company’s method for mitigating the risks, are presented below and throughout the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Estimates— The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Included among the material (or potentially material) reported amounts and disclosures that require extensive use of estimates are: fair value of certain invested assets, deferred acquisition costs, value of business acquired, goodwill, and future contract benefits.

F-14



Reinsurance —Reinsurance contracts do not relieve us from our obligations to insureds. Failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company; consequently, allowances are established for amounts deemed uncollectible when necessary. We evaluate the financial condition of our reinsurers to minimize our exposure to losses from reinsurer insolvencies. Management believes that any liabilities arising from this contingency would not be material to the Company’s financial position.

 

Investment Risk —The Company is exposed to risks that issuers of securities owned by the Company will default or that interest rates will change and cause a decrease in the value of our investments. As interest rates decline, the velocity at which these securities pay down the principal may increase. Management mitigates these risks by conservatively investing in investment-grade securities and by matching maturities of our investments with the anticipated payouts of our liabilities.

 

Liquidity Risk —The Company has investments in development stage companies, which are either seeking to raise capital to form life insurance subsidiaries in their respective states of incorporation (Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Minnesota and New Mexico) or have recently formed a life insurance subsidiary (South Dakota and Wyoming). There is no public market for shares of these investments, and there is no assurance that one will develop. Therefore, the shares will have limited marketability for an indefinite period of time. There is not currently, and may never be, an active market in these securities, and there is no assurance that any of these securities will ever become publicly traded or that an active trading market will develop or be sustained. Consequently, we may not be able to liquidate our investment in these securities.

 

Interest Rate Risk —Interest rate risk arises from the price sensitivity of investments to changes in interest rates. Interest and dividend income represent the greatest portion of an investment’s return for most fixed maturity securities in stable interest rate environments. The changes in the fair value of such investments are inversely related to changes in market interest rates. As interest rates fall, the interest and dividend streams of existing fixed-rate investments become more valuable and fair values rise. As interest rates rise, the opposite effect occurs. The Company attempts to mitigate its exposure to adverse interest rate movements through staggering the maturities of the fixed maturity investments and through maintaining cash and other short term investments to assure sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations and to address reinvestment risk considerations. Due to the composition of our book of insurance business, we believe it is unlikely that we would encounter large surrender activity due to an interest rate increase that would force the disposal of fixed maturities at a loss.

 

Credit Risk —The Company is exposed to credit risk through counterparties and within the investment portfolio. Credit risk relates to the uncertainty associated with an obligor’s ability to make timely payments of principal and interest in accordance with the contractual terms of an instrument or contract. The Company manages its credit risk through established investment credit policies and guidelines which address the quality of creditors and counterparties, concentration limits, diversification practices and acceptable risk levels. These policies and guidelines are regularly reviewed and approved by senior management. 

 

Regulatory Factors— The Company is highly regulated by the jurisdictions in which our entities are domiciled and licensed to conduct business. Such regulations, among other things, limit the amount of rate increases on policies and impose restrictions on the amount and type of investments and the minimum surplus required to conduct business in the state. The impact of the regulatory initiatives in response to the recent financial crisis, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, could subject the Company to substantial additional regulation.

 

Vulnerability Due to Certain Concentrations— The Company monitors economic and regulatory developments that have the potential to impact our business. Federal legislation has allowed banks and other financial organizations to have greater participation in insurance businesses. This legislation may present an increased level of competition for sales of the Company’s products.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward or Tax Credit Carryforward Exists, which finalizes Proposed ASU No. EITF-13C, and requires an entity's unrecognized tax benefit to be presented in its financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, with one exception. That exception states that, to the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position, or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The ASU applies prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. Retrospective application and early adoption are also permitted. We do not expect ASU No. 2013-11 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) regarding accounting for revenue recognition that identifies the accounting treatment for an entity's contracts with customers. Although insurance contracts are excluded from this ASU, other customer contracts of the Company would be covered. This guidance is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. 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 or material to the Company at this time.

Based on our review of the securities in an unrealized loss position at December 31, 2014 and 2013, no other-than-temporary impairments were deemed necessary. Management believes that the Company will fully recover its cost basis in the securities held at December 31, 2014, and management does not have the intent to sell nor is it more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell such securities until they recover or mature. The temporary impairments shown herein are primarily the result of the current interest rate environment rather than credit factors that would imply other-than-temporary impairment.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of fixed maturities at December 31, 2014, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Note 4. Fair Values of Financial Instruments

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. We use valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. In that regard, accounting standards establish a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
 

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
 

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

F-19



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

A description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.

Fixed maturities: Fixed maturities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis utilizing a third-party pricing source. The valuations are reviewed and validated quarterly through random testing by comparisons to separate pricing models or other third party pricing services. For the period ended December 31, 2014, there were no material changes to the valuation methods or assumptions used to determine fair values, and no broker or third party prices were changed from the values received. Securities with prices based on validated quotes from pricing services are reflected within Level 2.

Equity securities, available for sale : Equity securities consist of preferred stock of publicly traded companies. The fair values of our preferred equity securities are based on prices obtained from independent pricing services and these securities are classified within Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Equity method investments : The equity method investment is comprised of the Company’s investment in First Wyoming. This security has no active trading and the fair value for this security is not readily determinable. Therefore, this investment has been omitted from the following fair value disclosure tables.

Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments: The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments approximate the fair value because of the short maturity of the instruments.

Policy loans: Policy loans are stated at unpaid principal balances. As these loans are fully collateralized by the cash surrender value of the underlying insurance policies, the carrying value of the policy loans approximates their fair value. Policy loans are categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Notes Receivable: Fair values for short-term notes receivable approximate carrying value. The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of the fair value because of the relatively short time between the origination of the loan and its expected repayment. These receivables are categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Mortgage loans on real estate, held for investment: The fair values of mortgage loans on real estate, held for investment are estimated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the scheduled maturities of the loans, using interest rates currently being offered for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings. As part of the Old Reliance purchase agreement, the seller guaranteed the performance of the mortgage loans and accordingly we believe book value is equal to fair value. Mortgage loans are categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Deposit-type contracts: The fair value for direct and assumed liabilities under deposit-type insurance contracts (accumulation annuities) is calculated using a discounted cash flow approach. Cash flows are projected using actuarial assumptions and discounted to the valuation date using risk-free rates adjusted for credit risk and nonperformance risk of the liabilities. Liabilities under deposit-type insurance contracts that are wholly ceded by Capital Reserve to a non-affiliated reinsurer are carried at cash surrender value which approximates fair value. The fair values for insurance contracts other than deposit-type contracts are not required to be disclosed. These liabilities are categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Surplus notes: The fair value for surplus notes is calculated using a discounted cash flow approach. Cash flows are projected utilizing scheduled repayments and discounted to the valuation date using market rates currently available for debt with similar remaining maturities. These notes are structured such that all interest is paid at maturity. In the following fair value measurement tables, the Company has included accrued interest expense of approximately $196,927 and $164,000 in carrying value of the surplus notes as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These liabilities are categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

There were no transfers of financial instruments between Level 1 and Level 2 during the years ended December 31, 2014 or 2013.

Accounting standards require disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis are discussed above. There were no financial assets or financial liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Equity securities carried at cost are privately placed common stocks for several recently formed holding companies organized for the purpose of forming life insurance subsidiaries. These common stocks are recorded using the cost basis of accounting. These securities have no active trading and the fair value for these securities is not readily determinable. The Company does not control these entities economically, and therefore does not consolidate these entities.

At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $8,112,743 and $7,132,984, respectively, on the deferred tax assets to reduce the total to an amount that management believes will ultimately be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon sufficient future taxable income during the period that deductible temporary differences and carryforwards are expected to be available to reduce taxable income.

Loss carryforwards for tax purposes as of December 31, 2014, have expiration dates that range from 2024 through 2029.

There was no income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. This differed from the amounts computed by applying the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 34% to pretax income, as a result of the following:

Capital Reserve has a 100% coinsurance agreement with SNL whereby 100% of the business written by Capital Reserve is ceded to SNL. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, total benefit reserves, policy claims, deposit-type contracts, and due premiums ceded by Capital Reserve to SNL were $16,375,768 and $17,294,342, respectively. Capital Reserve remains contingently liable on this ceded reinsurance should SNL be unable to meet their obligations.

During 1999, Old Reliance entered into a 75% coinsurance agreement with Sagicor Life (Sagicor) whereby 75% of the business written by Old Reliance is ceded to Sagicor. During 2000, Old Reliance coinsured the remaining 25% with Sagicor. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, total benefit reserves, policy claims, deposit-type contracts, and due premiums ceded by Old Reliance to Sagicor were $12,143,472 and $12,883,237, respectively. Old Reliance remains contingently liable on this ceded reinsurance should Sagicor be unable to meet their obligations.

The use of reinsurance does not relieve the Company of its primary liability to pay the full amount of the insurance benefit in the event of the failure of a reinsurer to honor its contractual obligation. No reinsurer of business ceded by the Company has failed to pay policy claims (individually or in the aggregate) with respect to our ceded business. At December 31, 2014, the Company had over 99% of its reinsurance recoverable amounts concentrated with two reinsurers, Sagicor and SNL. SNL, who is not rated by A.M. Best, accounted for $16.4 million of reinsurance recoverable.

F-24



The Company monitors several factors that it considers relevant to satisfy itself as to the ongoing ability of a reinsurer to meet all obligations of the reinsurance agreements. These factors include the credit rating of the reinsurer, the financial strength of the reinsurer, significant changes or events of the reinsurer, and any other relevant factors. If the Company believes that any reinsurer would not be able to satisfy its obligations with the Company, a separate contingency reserve may be established. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, no contingency reserve was established.

Note 7. Deposit-Type Contracts

The Company’s deposit-type contracts represent the contract value that has accrued to the benefit of the policyholder as of the balance sheet date. Liabilities for these deposit-type contracts are included without reduction for potential surrender charges. This liability is equal to the accumulated account deposits, plus interest credited, and less policyholder withdrawals. The following table provides information about deposit-type contracts for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013:

      Year Ended December 31,
2014       2013
Beginning balance $ 14,739,655 $ 12,865,671
       Change in deposit-type contracts assumed from SNL (114,109 ) (66,572 )
       Change in deposit-type contracts fully ceded by Capital Reserve (578,716 ) (683,070 )
       Deposits received 2,409,659 2,636,959

       Withdrawals (398,984 ) (266,522 )
       Ending balance $      16,461,061 $      14,739,655

Under the terms of American Life’s coinsurance agreement with SNL, American Life assumes certain deposit-type contract obligations, as shown in the table above. Additionally, Capital Reserve cedes 100% of its direct business to SNL. Accordingly, this amount is presented within the corresponding single line above. The remaining deposits, withdrawals and interest credited represent those for American Life’s direct business.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings: We are involved in litigation incidental to our operations from time to time. We are not presently a party to any legal proceedings other than litigation arising in the ordinary course of our business, and we are not aware of any claims that could materially affect our financial position or results of operations.

Regulatory Matters : State regulatory bodies, the SEC, and other regulatory bodies regularly make inquiries and conduct examinations or investigations concerning the Company’s compliance with laws in relation to, but not limited to, insurance and securities. The issues involved in information requests and regulatory matters vary widely. The Company cooperates in these inquiries. Agencies from the states of Arizona, Missouri, and Wyoming are currently conducting a routine regulatory examination for the period 2009 through 2012 as required by state statutes.

Office Lease: The Company leases office space in Lincoln, Nebraska under an agreement executed October 17, 2013 that expires on January 31, 2024. The Company also subleases office space for a satellite office in Kearney, Nebraska, which was executed on June 11, 2012 which we closed and cancelled in January 2015. Great Plains Financial entered into a lease on May 1, 2011 for office space in Pierre, South Dakota, which expired on April 30, 2014. Great Plains also entered into a lease on October 4, 2013 for office space in Mitchell, South Dakota, which expires on November 30, 2016. Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $227,182 and $175,476, respectively. Future minimum payments are as follows:

Note 9. Statutory Net Income and Surplus

American Life is required to prepare statutory financial statements in accordance with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Arizona Department of Insurance. Likewise, Capital Reserve and Great Plains Life are required to prepare statutory financial statements in accordance with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Missouri and South Dakota Departments of Insurance, respectively. Statutory practices primarily differ from GAAP by charging policy acquisition costs to expense as incurred, establishing future policy benefit liabilities using different actuarial assumptions as well as valuing investments and certain assets and accounting for deferred taxes on a different basis. The following table summarizes the statutory net loss and statutory capital and surplus of American Life, Capital Reserve, and Great Plains Life as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. The amounts below as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013 are based on the respective company’s audited statutory financial statements. The audits of the companies’ statutory financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014 are expected to be completed by May 31, 2015.

Statutory Capital and Surplus as of December 31,

      2014       2013
American Life $ 2,422,917 $ 1,865,200
Capital Reserve $ 1,332,771 $ 1,259,746
Great Plains Life $                          2,025,982 $                          2,158,481
 
Statutory Net Loss for the Years Ended December 31,

Note 10. Surplus Notes

The following provides a summary of the Company’s surplus notes along with issue dates, maturity dates, face amounts, and interest rates as of December 31, 2014:

Creditor       Issue Date       Maturity Date       Face Amount       Interest Rate
David G. Elmore September 1, 2006 September 1, 2016 $ 250,000                    7 %
David G. Elmore August 4, 2011 August 1, 2016 300,000 5 %

Any payments and/or repayments must be approved by the Arizona Department of Insurance. As of December 31, 2014, the Company has accrued $196,927 of interest expense under accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheet. During the first quarter of 2013, the repayment of the interest and principal on a portion of the surplus notes was approved by the Arizona Department of Insurance. On January 4, 2013, the Company paid down $100,000 of principal and approximately $7,000 of accrued interest. No payments were made during 2014.

Note 11. Investment in Pacific Northwest Capital Corporation

During the first quarter of 2014, we purchased additional shares of Pacific Northwest Capital Corporation (Pacific Northwest). The purchase increased our total investment in Pacific Northwest to 850,000 shares. Our aggregate ownership percentage increased to approximately 22.4%.

As a result of the increased ownership of Pacific Northwest, the Company changed its method of carrying the investment from cost to equity as required by generally accepted accounting principles. Under the equity method, the Company records its proportionate share of the earnings of Pacific Northwest. The effect of the change in accounting method for the year ended December 31, 2013, was to increase loss before provision for incomes taxes and net loss by $3,697. The Company’s financial statements have been restated to present its equity method investment in Pacific Northwest as of the earliest period presented. For the effect of retroactive application of the equity method, equity securities available for sale and accumulated deficit were decreased by $3,697 for the year ended December 31, 2013. Equity securities available for sale and accumulated deficit were decreased by $11,380 for the year ended December 31, 2012. Therefore, equity and securities available for sale and accumulated deficit were decreased by a total of $15,077 as of the beginning of fiscal year 2014 for the effect of the retroactive application of the equity method.

Note 12. Related Party Transactions

American Life had a general agent contract with a corporation owned by an officer of Midwest. The agreement, which was approved by the Board of Directors of Midwest and American Life, specifies that the corporation, a licensed insurance agency, shall receive an override commission on business written in exchange for managing the Company’s marketing. In addition, the agency must pay for all sales conventions, contests, prizes, awards and training seminars. This agreement was terminated in October 2011.

The Company commenced its third party administrative (“TPA”) services in 2012 as an additional revenue source. These services are offered to the Company’s subsidiaries and to non-consolidated entities. These agreements, for various levels of administrative services on behalf of each company, generate fee income for the Company. Services provided vary based on their needs and can include some or all aspects of back-office accounting and policy administration. We have been able to perform our TPA services using our existing in-house resources. Fees earned during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 amounted to $295,093 and $238,947, respectively.

Note 13. Subsequent Events

All of the effects of subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at December 31, 2014, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing consolidated financial statements, are recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The Company does not recognize subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the consolidated financial statements but arose after, but before the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. In some cases, non-recognized subsequent events are disclosed to keep the consolidated financial statements from being misleading.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date that the consolidated financial statements were issued. At the end of 2014, two mortgage loans were under contract to be sold. The sale was finalized during January 2015.

Midwest Holding Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of operations: Midwest Holding Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (“Midwest” or the “Company,” which also may be referred to as “we,” “our” or “us”) operate multiple insurance businesses through one business segment. These insurance companies are: American Life and Security Corporation (“American Life”), Capital Reserve Life Insurance Company (“Capital Reserve”), and Great Plains Life Assurance Company (“Great Plains”). Through these insurance companies we sell traditional, non-traditional and multi-benefit life insurance policies.

Basis of presentation: The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States of America generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, the information contained in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2104 (“2014 Form 10-K”), should be read in connection with the reading of these interim unaudited consolidated financial statements.

In the opinion of management, these statements include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s results. Operating results for the six month period ended June 30, 2015, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2015. All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation and certain immaterial reclassifications have been made to the prior period results to conform to the current period’s presentation with no impact on results of operations or total stockholders’ equity.

Investments: All fixed maturities and a portion of the equity securities owned by the Company are considered available-for-sale and are included in the consolidated financial statements at their fair value as of the financial statement date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized using the scientific-yield method over the term of the bonds. Realized gains and losses on securities sold during the year are determined using the specific identification method. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of applicable income taxes and deferred acquisition costs, are included in comprehensive loss.

Declines in the fair value of available for sale securities below their amortized cost are evaluated to assess whether any other-than-temporary impairment loss should be recorded. In determining if these losses are expected to be other-than-temporary, we consider severity of impairment, duration of impairment, forecasted recovery period, industry outlook, financial condition of the issuer, issuer credit ratings and the intent and ability of us to hold the investment until the recovery of the cost.

The recognition of other-than-temporary impairment losses on debt securities is dependent on the facts and circumstances related to the specific security. If the Company intends to sell a security or it is more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell a security prior to recovery of the amortized cost, the difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as an other-than-temporary impairment. If the Company does not expect to recover the amortized basis, does not plan to sell the security and if it is not more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell a security before the recovery of its amortized cost, the recognition of the other-than-temporary impairment is bifurcated. The Company recognizes the credit loss portion in the income statement and the noncredit loss portion in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

The credit component of the other-than-temporary impairment is determined by comparing the net present value of projected cash flows with the amortized cost basis of the debt security. The net present value is calculated by discounting the Company’s best estimate of projected future cash flows at the effective interest rate implicit in the fixed income security at the date of acquisition. Cash flow estimates are driven by assumptions regarding probability of default, including changes in credit ratings, and estimates regarding timing and amount of recoveries associated with a default. No other-than-temporary impairments were recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2015 or 2014.

F-31



Included within the Company’s equity securities carried at cost and equity method investments are certain privately purchased shares of common stock for several holding companies organized for the purpose of forming life insurance subsidiaries. Our privately purchased shares of common stock are recorded using cost basis or the equity method of accounting, depending on the facts and circumstances of each investment. These securities do not have a readily determinable fair value. The Company does not control these entities economically, and therefore does not consolidate these entities. The Company reports the earnings from its privately purchased shares of common stock accounted for under the equity method in net investment income.

Investment income consists of interest, dividends, gains and losses from equity method investments, and real estate income, which are recognized on an accrual basis and amortization of premiums and discounts.

Mortgage loans on real estate, held for investment: Mortgage loans on real estate, held for investment are carried at unpaid principal balances. Interest income on mortgage loans on real estate, held for investment is recognized in net investment income at the contract interest rate when earned. As of June 30, 2015, the Company held no investments in mortgage loans.

Policy loans: Policy loans are carried at unpaid principal balances. Interest income on policy loans is recognized in net investment income at the contract interest rate when earned. No valuation allowance is established for these policy loans as the amount of the loan is fully secured by the death benefit of the policy and cash surrender value.

Short-term investments: Short-term investments are stated at cost and consist of certificates of deposit issued by financial institutions. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company did not have any short-term investments.

Real estate, held for investment: Real estate, held for investment is comprised of ten condominiums in Hawaii. Real estate is carried at depreciated cost. Depreciation on residential real estate is computed on a straight-line basis over 50 years.

Cash: The Company considers all liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company has cash on deposit with financial institutions which at times may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. The Company has not suffered any losses in the past and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk in these balances.

Deferred acquisition costs: Deferred acquisition costs (“DAC”) consist of incremental direct costs, net of amounts ceded to reinsurers, that result directly from and are essential to the contract acquisition transaction and would not have been incurred by the Company had the contract acquisition not occurred. These costs are capitalized, to the extent recoverable, and amortized over the life of the premiums produced. The Company evaluates the types of acquisition costs it capitalizes. The Company capitalizes agent compensation and benefits and other expenses that are directly related to the successful acquisition of contracts. The Company also capitalizes expenses directly related to activities performed by the Company, such as underwriting, policy issuance, and processing fees incurred in connection with successful contract acquisitions. DAC is adjusted to reflect the impact of unrealized gains and losses on fixed maturity securities available for sale.

Recoverability of deferred acquisition costs is evaluated periodically by comparing the current estimate of the present value of expected pretax future profits to the unamortized asset balance. If this current estimate is less than the existing balance, the difference is charged to expense. The Company performs a recoverability analysis annually in the fourth quarter of its fiscal year unless events occur which require an immediate review. The Company determined during its December 31, 2014 analysis that all deferred acquisition costs were recoverable. No events occurred in the six months ended June 30, 2015 that suggested a review should be undertaken.

The following table provides information about deferred acquisition costs for the periods ended June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Gross amortization (253,850 ) (625,680 )
Balance at end of period $ 2,883,018 $ 2,646,970

Value of business acquired: Value of business acquired represents the estimated value assigned to purchased companies or insurance in force of the assumed policy obligations at the date of acquisition of a block of policies. As discussed in the 2014 Form 10-K, Note 1. - Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Principles, American Life purchased Capital Reserve during 2010, resulting in an initial capitalized asset for value of business acquired of $116,326. Additionally, the Company paid an upfront ceding commission of $375,000 to Security National Life (“SNL”) in respect of the purchase of Capital Reserve. An initial asset was established for the value of this business acquired totaling $348,010, representing primarily the ceding commission. The agreement has an automatic renewal provision unless the Company notifies SNL of its intention not to renew, no less than 180 days prior to the expiration of the then current agreement. Each automatic renewal period is for one year. This reinsurance remains in place. Midwest acquired Great Plains Financial and established and asset for value of business acquired of $1,288,207. These assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the earnings pattern of the related policies, over ten years. The Company recognized amortization expense of $43,813 and $87,626 for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 relative to these transactions.

Additionally, American Life purchased Old Reliance Insurance Company (“Old Reliance”) in August 2011, resulting in an initial capitalized asset for value of business acquired of $824,485. This asset is being amortized over the life of the related policies (see “revenue recognition and related expenses” discussed below regarding amortization methods). Accretion recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2015 totaled $653 and the amortization for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was $493. Amortization recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 totaled $99 and $21,066, respectively.

The Company performs a recoverability analysis annually in the fourth quarter of its fiscal year unless events occur which require an immediate review. Recoverability of value of business acquired is evaluated by comparing the current estimate of the present value of expected pretax future profits to the unamortized asset balance. If this current estimate is less than the existing balance, the difference is charged to expense. No events occurred in the six months ended June 30, 2015 that suggested a review should be undertaken.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill represents the excess of the amounts paid to acquire subsidiaries and other businesses over the fair value of their net assets at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually in the fourth quarter or more frequently if events or circumstances change that would indicate that a triggering event has occurred. No events occurred in the six months ended June 30, 2015 that suggest a review should be undertaken.

The Company assesses the recoverability of indefinite-lived intangible assets at least annually or whenever events or circumstances suggest that the carrying value of an identifiable indefinite-lived intangible asset may exceed the sum of the future discounted cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. If the asset is considered to be impaired, the amount of any impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the impaired asset. No events occurred in the six months ended June 30, 2015 that suggest a review should be undertaken.

Property and equipment: Property and equipment are stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation. Annual depreciation is primarily computed using straight-line methods for financial reporting and straight-line and accelerated methods for tax purposes. Furniture and equipment is depreciated over 3 to 7 years and computer software and equipment is generally depreciated over 3 years. Depreciation expense totaled $40,342 and $44,715 for the three months ended June, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Depreciation expense totaled $82,834 and $88,810 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Accumulated depreciation totaled $796,000 and $713,166 as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Replacements and improvements which extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized. The net book value of assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in earnings.

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable and exceeds estimated future undiscounted cash flows of the asset. A recognized impairment loss reduces the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. No such events occurred in the six months ended June 30, 2015 that would indicate the carrying amounts may not be recoverable.

Reinsurance: In the normal course of business, the Company seeks to limit any single exposure to losses on large risks by purchasing reinsurance. The amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets as reinsurance recoverable include amounts billed to reinsurers on losses paid as well as estimates of amounts expected to be recovered from reinsurers on insurance liabilities that have not yet been paid. Reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses are estimated based upon assumptions consistent with those used in establishing the liabilities related to the underlying reinsured contracts. Insurance liabilities are reported gross of reinsurance recoverable. Management believes the recoverables are appropriately established. The Company generally strives to diversify its credit risks related to reinsurance ceded. Reinsurance premiums are generally reflected in income in a manner consistent with the recognition of premiums on the reinsured contracts. Reinsurance does not extinguish the Company’s primary liability under the policies written. Therefore, the Company regularly evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers including their activities with respect to claim settlement practices and commutations, and establishes allowances for uncollectible reinsurance recoverable as appropriate. There were no allowances as of June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

Benefit reserves: The Company establishes liabilities for amounts payable under insurance policies, including traditional life insurance and annuities. Generally, amounts are payable over an extended period of time. Liabilities for future policy benefits of traditional life insurance have been computed by a net level premium method based upon estimates at the time of issue for investment yields, mortality and withdrawals. These estimates include provisions for experience less favorable than initially expected. Mortality assumptions are based on industry experience expressed as a percentage of standard mortality tables.

Policy claims: Policy claims are based on reported claims plus estimated incurred but not reported claims developed from trends of historical data applied to current exposure.

Deposit-type contracts: Deposit-type contracts consist of amounts on deposit associated with deferred annuity riders, premium deposit funds and supplemental contracts without life contingencies.

Income taxes: At June 30, 2015, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $24,200,000 that expire in the years 2025 through 2030. The Company has provided a significant allowance against the value of the related deferred tax asset since it is more likely than not that the full benefit will be realized. See Note 4 for further information. Utilization of the net operating losses may be subject to annual limitations provided by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. Due to the loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company has recorded no income tax expense in any of these periods.

Revenue recognition and related expenses: Revenues on traditional life insurance products consist of direct and assumed premiums reported as earned when due.

Amounts received as payment for annuities and/or non-traditional contracts such as interest sensitive whole life contracts, single payment endowment contracts, single payment juvenile contracts and other contracts without life contingencies are recognized as deposits to policyholder account balances and included in future insurance policy benefits. Revenues from these contracts are comprised of fees earned for administrative and contract-holder services and cost of insurance, which are recognized over the period of the contracts, and included in revenue. Deposits are shown as a financing activity in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

F-34



Amounts received under our multi-benefit policy form are allocated to the life insurance portion of the multi-benefit life insurance arrangement and the annuity portion based upon the signed policy.

Liabilities for future policy benefits are provided and acquisition costs are amortized by associating benefits and expenses with earned premiums to recognize related profits over the life of the contracts. Acquisition costs are amortized over the premium paying period using the net level premium method. Traditional life insurance products are treated as long duration contracts, which generally remain in force for the lifetime of the insured.loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized gains and losses from marketable securities classified as available for sale, net of applicable taxes.

Comprehensive loss: Comprehensive loss is comprised of net loss and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized gains and losses from marketable securities classified as available for sale, net of applicable taxes.

Common and preferred stock and earnings (loss) per share: The par value per common share is $0.001 with 120,000,000 shares authorized. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had 13,212,653 and 13,167,654 voting common shares issued and outstanding, respectively.

At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had 1,179 warrants outstanding. The warrants are exercisable through December 31, 2016 for 10 shares of voting common stock at an exercise price of $6.50 per share.

The Class A preferred shares are non-cumulative, non-voting and convertible by the holder to voting common shares after May 2016, at a rate of 1.3 common shares for each preferred share (subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments). There is no stated dividend rate on the Class A shares, but the holders of Class A shares will receive a dividend on each outstanding share of Class A preferred stock in an amount equal to the amount of the dividend payable on each share of common stock. The par value per preferred share is $0.001 with 2,000,000 shares authorized. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had 74,159 Class A preferred shares issued and outstanding.

The Class B preferred shares are non-cumulative, non-voting and convertible by the holder to voting common shares after May 1, 2017 at a rate of 2.0 common shares for each preferred share. The Company may only affect a conversion through a deemed liquidation or initial public offering. The par value per preferred share is $0.001 with 1,000,000 shares authorized. The stated dividend rate on the Class B preferred shares is 7%, commencing after December 31, 2014. Dividends of $34,497 were paid during the three months ended June 30, 2015. At June 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014, the Company had 102,669 Class B preferred shares issued and outstanding.

Earnings (loss) per share attributable to the Company’s common stockholders were computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. The weighted average number of shares outstanding during the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were 13,212,653 and 9,120,239 shares, respectively. The weighted average number of shares outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were 13,195,416 and 9,120,239, respectively.

Risk and uncertainties: Certain risks and uncertainties are inherent in our day-to-day operations and in the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements. The more significant of those risks and uncertainties, as well as the Company’s method for mitigating the risks, are presented below and throughout the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Estimates— The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Included among the material (or potentially material) reported amounts and disclosures that require extensive use of estimates are: fair value of certain invested assets, deferred acquisition costs, value of business acquired, goodwill, and future contract benefits.

F-35



Reinsurance —Reinsurance contracts do not relieve us from our obligations to insureds. Failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company; consequently, allowances are established for amounts deemed uncollectible when necessary. We evaluate the financial condition of our reinsurers to minimize our exposure to losses from reinsurer insolvencies. Management believes that any liabilities arising from this contingency would not be material to the Company’s financial position.

 

Investment Risk —The Company is exposed to risks that issuers of securities owned by the Company will default or that interest rates will change and cause a decrease in the value of our investments. As interest rates decline, the velocity at which these securities pay down the principal may increase. Management mitigates these risks by investing in investment-grade securities and by matching maturities of our investments with the anticipated payouts of our liabilities.

 

Liquidity Risk —The Company has investments in development stage companies, which are either seeking to raise capital to form life insurance subsidiaries in their respective states of incorporation (Idaho, Minnesota and New Mexico). The shares have very limited marketability for an indefinite period of time. There is not currently, and may never be, a public market in these securities, and there is no assurance that any of these securities will ever become publicly traded or that an active trading market will develop or be sustained. Consequently, we may not be able to liquidate our investment in these securities.

 

Interest Rate Risk —Interest rate risk arises from the price sensitivity of investments to changes in interest rates. Interest and dividend income represent the greatest portion of an investment’s return for most fixed maturity securities in stable interest rate environments. The changes in the fair value of such investments are inversely related to changes in market interest rates. As interest rates fall, the interest and dividend streams of existing fixed-rate investments become more valuable and fair values rise. As interest rates rise, the opposite effect occurs. The Company attempts to mitigate its exposure to adverse interest rate movements through staggering the maturities of the fixed maturity investments and through maintaining cash and other short term investments to assure sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations and to address reinvestment risk considerations. Due to the composition of our book of insurance business, we believe it is unlikely that we would encounter large surrender activity due to an interest rate increase that would force the disposal of fixed maturities at a loss.

 

Credit Risk —The Company is exposed to credit risk through counterparties and within its investment portfolio. Credit risk relates to the uncertainty associated with an obligor’s ability to make timely payments of principal and interest in accordance with the contractual terms of an instrument or contract. The Company manages its credit risk through established investment policies and guidelines which address the quality of creditors and counterparties, concentration limits, diversification practices and acceptable risk levels. These policies and guidelines are regularly reviewed and approved by senior management.

 

Regulatory Factors— The Company is highly regulated by the jurisdictions in which our insurance subsidiaries are domiciled and licensed to conduct business. Such regulations, among other things, limit the amount of rate increases on policies and impose restrictions on the amount and type of investments and the minimum surplus required to conduct business in the state. The impact of the regulatory initiatives in response to the recent financial crisis, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, could subject the Company to substantial additional regulation.

 

Vulnerability Due to Certain Concentrations— We monitor economic and regulatory developments that have the potential to impact our business. Federal legislation has allowed banks and other financial organizations to have greater participation in insurance businesses. This legislation may present an increased level of competition for sales of our products.

In June 2013, the FASB issued proposed Accounting Standards Update, Insurance Contracts (Topic 834) (“2013 proposed Update”). The objectives of the amendments in the 2013 proposed Update were to (1) increase the decision usefulness of the information about a reporting entity’s insurance liabilities, including the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows related to those liabilities and the effect of those cash flows on the statement of comprehensive income, and (2) improve comparability between reporting entities, regardless of the type of entity issuing the contract. The guidance in the 2013 proposed Update included different recognition and measurement models for both long-duration contracts and short-duration contracts. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact to its consolidated financial statements.

F-36



In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) regarding accounting for revenue recognition that identifies the accounting treatment for an entity’s contracts with customers. Although insurance contracts are excluded from this ASU, other customer contracts of the Company would be covered. This guidance is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance, but it does not believe that there will be a material impact to its 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 or material to the Company at this time.

Based on our review of the securities in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, no other-than-temporary impairments were deemed necessary. Management believes that the Company will fully recover its cost basis in the securities held at June 30, 2015, and management does not have the intent to sell nor is it more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell such securities until they recover or mature. The temporary impairments shown herein are primarily the result of the current interest rate environment rather than credit factors that would imply other-than-temporary impairment.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of fixed maturities at June 30, 2015, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Note 3. Fair Values of Financial Instruments

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. We use valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. In that regard, accounting standards establish a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
 
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
   
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

F-39



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

A description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.

Fixed maturities: Fixed maturities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis utilizing a third-party pricing source. The valuations are reviewed and validated quarterly through random testing by comparisons to separate pricing models or other third party pricing services. For the period ended June 30, 2015, there were no material changes to the valuation methods or assumptions used to determine fair values, and no broker or third party prices were changed from the values received. Securities with prices based on validated quotes from pricing services are reflected within Level 2.

Equity securities, available for sale : Equity securities consist of preferred stock of publicly traded companies. The fair values of a portion of our preferred equity securities are based on prices obtained from independent pricing services and these securities are generally classified within Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Equity method investments : The equity method investments are comprised of the Company’s investments in First Wyoming Capital Corporation (First Wyoming) and Pacific Northwest. These securities have no active trading and the fair value for these securities is not readily determinable. Therefore, these investments have been omitted from the fair value disclosure tables.

Cost method investments: The cost method investments are comprised of New Mexico Capital Corp and Northstar Financial Corporation. These securities have no active trading and the fair value for these securities is not readily determinable. Therefore, these investments have been omitted from the fair value disclosure tables.

Cash and short-term investments: The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments approximate the fair value because of the short maturity of the instruments.

Policy loans: Policy loans are stated at unpaid principal balances. As these loans are fully collateralized by the cash surrender value of the underlying insurance policies, the carrying value of the policy loans approximates their fair value. Policy loans are categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Mortgage loans on real estate, held for investment: The fair values of mortgage loans on real estate, held for investment are estimated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the scheduled maturities of the loans, using interest rates currently being offered for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings. Mortgage loans are categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Deposit-type contracts: The fair value for direct and assumed liabilities under deposit-type insurance contracts (accumulation annuities) is calculated using a discounted cash flow approach. Cash flows are projected using actuarial assumptions and discounted to the valuation date using risk-free rates adjusted for credit risk and nonperformance risk of the liabilities. Liabilities under deposit-type insurance contracts that are wholly ceded by Capital Reserve to a non-affiliated reinsurer are carried at cash surrender value which approximates fair value. These liabilities are categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Surplus notes: The fair value for surplus notes is calculated using a discounted cash flow approach. Cash flows are projected utilizing scheduled repayments and discounted to the valuation date using market rates currently available for debt with similar remaining maturities. These notes are structured such that all interest is paid at maturity. In the following fair value tables, the Company has included accrued interest expense, which is recorded in the accounts payable and accrued expenses, of approximately $213,000 and $196,927 in carrying value of the surplus notes as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. These liabilities are categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

There were no transfers of financial instruments between any levels during the six months ended June 30, 2015 or during the year ended December 31, 2014.

Accounting standards require disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis are discussed above. There were no financial assets or financial liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Equity securities carried at cost are privately purchased common stocks for several recently formed holding companies organized for the purpose of forming life insurance subsidiaries. These common stocks are recorded using the cost basis of accounting. These securities have no active trading and the fair value for these securities is not readily determinable. The Company does not control these entities economically, and therefore does not consolidate these entities.

At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $8,564,853 and $8,112,743, respectively, on the deferred tax assets to reduce the total to an amount that management believes will ultimately be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon sufficient future taxable income during the period that deductible temporary differences and carryforwards are expected to be available to reduce taxable income.

Loss carryforwards for tax purposes as of June 30, 2015, have expiration dates that range from 2024 through 2030.

There was no income tax expense for the three or six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. This differed from the amounts computed by applying the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 34% to pretax income, as a result of the following:

The following table provides a summary of the significant reinsurance balances recoverable on paid and unpaid policy claims by reinsurer along with the A.M. Best credit rating as of June 30, 2015:

$ - $ 576,196 $ 27,792,381 $ 289,333 $ 28,079,244

Capital Reserve has a 100% coinsurance agreement with SNL whereby 100% of the business written by Capital Reserve is ceded to SNL. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, total benefit reserves, policy claims, deposit-type contracts, and due premiums ceded by Capital Reserve to SNL were $15,830,659 and $16,375,768, respectively. Capital Reserve remains contingently liable on this ceded reinsurance should SNL be unable to meet its obligations.

During 1999, Old Reliance entered into a 75% coinsurance agreement with Sagicor Life (Sagicor) whereby 75% of the business written by Old Reliance is ceded to Sagicor. During 2000, Old Reliance coinsured the remaining 25% with Sagicor. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, total benefit reserves, policy claims, deposit-type contracts, and due premiums ceded by Old Reliance to Sagicor were $12,099,673 and $12,143,472, respectively. Old Reliance remains contingently liable on this ceded reinsurance should Sagicor be unable to meet their obligations.

The use of reinsurance does not relieve the Company of its primary liability to pay the full amount of the insurance benefit in the event of the failure of a reinsurer to honor its contractual obligation. No reinsurer of business ceded by the Company has failed to pay policy claims (individually or in the aggregate) with respect to our ceded business. At June 30, 2015, the Company had over 98% of its reinsurance recoverable amounts concentrated with two reinsurers, Sagicor and SNL. SNL, who is not rated by A.M. Best, accounted for $15.8 million of reinsurance recoverable.

The Company monitors several factors that it considers relevant to satisfy itself as to the ongoing ability of a reinsurer to meet all obligations of the reinsurance agreements. These factors include the credit rating of the reinsurer, the financial strength of the reinsurer, significant changes or events of the reinsurer, and any other relevant factors. If the Company believes that any reinsurer would not be able to satisfy its obligations with the Company, a separate contingency reserve may be established. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, no contingency reserve was established.

F-44



Note 6. Deposit-Type Contracts

The Company’s deposit-type contracts represent the contract value that has accrued to the benefit of the policyholder as of the balance sheet date. Liabilities for these deposit-type contracts are included without reduction for potential surrender charges. This liability is equal to the accumulated account deposits, plus interest credited, and less policyholder withdrawals. The following table provides information about deposit-type contracts for quarter ended June 30, 2015 and year ended December 31, 2014:

Six Months Ended Year Ended
June 30, 2015       December 31, 2014
Beginning balance $                      16,461,061 $                      14,739,655

Under the terms of American Life’s coinsurance agreement with SNL, American Life assumes certain deposit-type contract obligations, as shown in the table above. Additionally, Capital Reserve cedes 100% of its direct business to SNL. Accordingly, this amount is presented within the corresponding single line above. The remaining deposits, withdrawals and interest credited represent those for American Life’s direct business.

Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings: We are involved in litigation incidental to our operations from time to time. We are not presently a party to any legal proceedings other than litigation arising in the ordinary course of our business, and we are not aware of any claims that could materially affect our financial position or results of operations.

Regulatory Matters : State and federal regulatory bodies regularly make inquiries and conduct examinations or investigations concerning the Company’s compliance with laws in relation to, but not limited to, insurance and securities. The issues involved in information requests and regulatory matters vary widely. The Company cooperates in these inquiries. Agencies from the state of South Dakota completed a routine regulatory examination for the period 2010 through 2013 as required by state statutes during the second quarter of 2015. Previously, Arizona, Wyoming and Missouri regulators completed a regulatory examination.

Office Lease: The Company leases office space in Lincoln, Nebraska under an agreement executed October 17, 2013 that expires on January 31, 2024. The Company also subleases office space for a satellite office in Kearney, Nebraska, which was executed on June 11, 2012 and expired on May 1, 2015. Great Plains entered into a lease on May 1, 2011 for office space in Pierre, South Dakota, which expired on April 30, 2014. Great Plains also entered into a lease on October 4, 2013 for office space in Mitchell, South Dakota, which expires on November 30, 2016. Rent expense for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $55,377 and $62,104 respectively. Rent expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $111,752 and $110,956, respectively. Future minimum payments are as follows:

2015 $ 78,487
2016 137,088
2017 133,603
2018 136,557
2019 141,412
Later years 629,811
Total $      1,256,958

Note 8. Statutory Net Income and Surplus

American Life is required to prepare statutory financial statements in accordance with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Arizona Department of Insurance. Likewise, Capital Reserve and Great Plains Life are required to prepare statutory financial statements in accordance with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Missouri and South Dakota Departments of Insurance, respectively. Statutory practices primarily differ from GAAP by charging policy acquisition costs to expense as incurred, establishing future policy benefit liabilities using different actuarial assumptions as well as valuing investments and certain assets and accounting for deferred taxes on a different basis. The following table summarizes the statutory net loss and statutory capital and surplus of American Life, Capital Reserve, and Great Plains Life for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 and as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

American Life $ 2,260,574 $ 2,429,604
Capital Reserve $ 1,505,448 $ 1,332,771
Great Plains Life $ 1,790,581 $ 2,025,982

Note 9. Surplus Notes

The following provides a summary of the Company’s surplus notes along with issue dates, maturity dates, face amounts, and interest rates as of June 30, 2015:

Creditor Issue Date       Maturity Date       Face Amount       Interest Rate
David G. Elmore September 1, 2006 September 1, 2016 $     250,000 7 %
David G. Elmore   August 4, 2011 August 1, 2016 300,000 5 %

Any payments and/or repayments must be approved by the Arizona Department of Insurance. As of June 30, 2015, the Company has accrued $213,032 of interest expense under accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheet. No payments were made in the six months ending June 30, 2015, or during the year ended December 31, 2014.

Note 10. Investment in Pacific Northwest Capital Corporation

During the first quarter of 2014, we purchased additional shares of Pacific Northwest Capital Corporation (Pacific Northwest). The purchase increased our total investment in Pacific Northwest to 850,000 shares. Our aggregate ownership percentage increased to approximately 22.4%.

As a result of the increased ownership of Pacific Northwest, the Company changed its method of carrying the investment from cost to equity as required by generally accepted accounting principles. Under the equity method, the Company records its proportionate share of the earnings of Pacific Northwest. The effect of the change in accounting method for the three months ended June 30, 2014, was to increase loss before provision for income taxes and net loss by $18,226. The effect of the change in accounting method for the six months ended June 30, 2014, was to increase loss before provision for income taxes and net loss by $73,306. The change for the period ending December 31, 2014 decreased the investment in Pacific Northwest to zero.

F-46



Note 11. Related Party Transactions

The Company commenced its third party administrative (“TPA”) services in 2012 as an additional revenue source. These agreements, for various levels of administrative services on behalf of each customer, generate fee income for the Company. Services provided to each customer vary based on their needs and can include some or all aspects of back-office accounting and policy administration. We have been able to perform our TPA services using our existing in-house resources. Fees earned during the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were $40,608 and $86,236, respectively. Fees earned during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 amounted to $95,594 and $160,252, respectively.

Note 12. Subsequent Events

All of the effects of subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at June 30, 2015, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing consolidated financial statements, are recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The Company does not recognize subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the consolidated financial statements but arose after, but before the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. In some cases, non-recognized subsequent events are disclosed to keep the consolidated financial statements from being misleading.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date that the consolidated financial statements were issued and found no events to report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Board of Directors
First Wyoming Capital Corporation and Subsidiaries
Cheyenne, Wyoming

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of First Wyoming Capital Corporation (a Wyoming Corporation) and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of revenue and expenses, comprehensive (loss), changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Note 1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of business : First Wyoming Capital Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in Wyoming on July 8, 2009, for the primary purpose of organizing a life insurance subsidiary. In July 2009, the Company raised $150,000 from the initial offering of 1,500,000 common shares. After the initial offering, the Company raised $750,000 from a private placement of 750,000 shares. On April 26, 2010, the Company’s intra-state public stock offering filed with the Wyoming Secretary of State for $7,500,000, which included a 15% “over-sale” provision (additional sales of $1,125,000), was declared effective. Effective November 18, 2011, the Company amended the intra-state public stock offering to increase the offering to a maximum of $10,000,000. The offering was completed on June 29, 2012. The Company raised $9,645,025 from the sale of 1,929,005 common shares from this offering. The Company was in the development stage through 2011. The year 2012 was the first year during which it was considered an operating company.

First Wyoming Capital Corporation has a wholly owned subsidiary, First Wyoming Life Insurance Company (“First Wyoming Life”), domiciled in Wyoming. This Subsidiary was incorporated on June 24, 2011 and initially capitalized with $400,000. Additional capital contributions of $3,600,000 were made during 2011. First Wyoming Life is a life insurance company and operates in the state of Wyoming. First Wyoming Life began issuing business on August 17, 2012.

On December 31, 2014, Rocky Mountain Capital Corporation (Rocky Mountain) was merged into the Company. Rocky Mountain had 3,270,711 shares of outstanding stock prior to the merger valued at $0.23 per share. The Company’s stock was valued at $1.33 per share so for each share of Rocky Mountain stock they were converted at an exchange ratio of $0.17 per share. The Company’s common stock increased approximately 534,484 shares due to the merger.

Rocky Mountain’s wholly owned subsidiary, United Sales Alliance Corporation, became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company at the time of the merger. United Sales Alliance Corporation is a Colorado corporation that was organized on January 28, 2013 for the purpose of selling life insurance and related insurance products.

Principles of consolidation : The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its’ Subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies follows:

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

Estimates : The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near-term relate to the liability for estimated benefit reserves and deferred acquisition costs.

Cash and cash equivalents : For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all liquid assets and money market funds purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in back deposit accounts that at times exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

Investments in fixed maturities : The Company has investments in fixed maturity securities. Fixed maturity securities consist primarily of obligations of U.S. Treasury, municipalities, foreign corporations, and domestic corporations.

The investments in fixed maturity securities have been classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value, and unrealized holding gains and losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Declines in value judged to be other than temporary are included in investments and expense. Premiums and discounts on investments in debt securities are amortized over their contractual lives. The method of amortization results in a constant effective yield on those securities (the interest method).

F-55



Interest on debt securities is recognized in income as earned. Realized gains and losses, including losses from declines in value of specific securities determined by management to be other than temporary, are included in revenue and investments. Realized gains and losses are determined on the basis of the specific securities sold.

Declines in the fair value of available-for-sale securities below their amortized cost are evaluated to assess whether any other-than-temporary impairment loss should be recorded. In determining if these losses are expected to be other-than-temporary, the Company considers severity of impairment, duration of impairment, forecasted recovery period, industry outlook, financial condition of the issuer, projected cash flows, issuer credit ratings and the intent and ability of the Company to hold the investment until the recovery of the cost.

The recognition of other-than-temporary impairment losses on debt securities is dependent on the facts and circumstances related to the specific security. If the Company intends to sell a security or it is more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell a security prior to recovery of the amortized cost, the difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as an other-than-temporary impairment. If the Company does not expect to recover the amortized basis, does not plan to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell a security before the recovery of its amortized cost, the recognition of the other-than-temporary impairment is bifurcated. The Company recognizes the credit loss portion on the income statement and the noncredit loss portion in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The credit component of an other-than-temporary impairment is determined by comparing the net present value of projected cash flows with the amortized cost basis of the debt security. The net present value is calculated by discounting the Company’s best estimate of projected future cash flows at the effective interest rate implicit in the fixed income security at the date of acquisition. Cash flow estimates are driven by assumptions regarding probability of default, including changes in credit ratings, and estimates regarding timing and amount of recoveries associated with a default. No other-than-temporary impairments were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2014 or 2013.

Other investments : The Company held an investment in the stock of Rocky Mountain Capital Corporation which was carried at cost. The Company acquired Rocky Mountain Capital Corporation as of December 31, 2014.

Deferred acquisition costs : The Company adopted Accounting Standards update (ASU) 2010-26, Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts, effective January 1, 2012. Under the new guidance, incremental direct costs that result directly from and are essential to the contract acquisition transaction and would not have been incurred by the Company had the contract acquisition not occurred, are capitalized and amortized over the life of the premiums produced. An entity may defer incremental direct costs of contract acquisition that are incurred in transactions with independent third parties or employees as well as the portion of employee compensation and other costs directly related to underwriting, policy issuance and processing, medical inspection, and contract selling for successfully negotiated contracts. Additionally, an entity may capitalize as a deferred acquisition cost only those advertising costs meeting the capitalization criteria for direct-response advertising.

Pursuant to this guidance, the Company evaluated the types of acquisition costs it capitalizes. The Company capitalizes agent compensation and benefits and other expenses that are directly related to the successful acquisition of contracts. The Company also capitalizes expenses directly related to activities performed by the Company, such as underwriting, policy issuance, and processing fees incurred in connection with successful contract acquisition.

Recoverability of deferred acquisition costs is evaluated periodically by comparing the current estimate of the present value of expected pretax future profits to the unamortized asset balance. If this current estimate is less than the existing balance, the difference is charged to expense. The Company performs a recoverability analysis annually in the fourth quarter unless events occur which require an immediate review. The Company determined during its December 31, 2014 analysis that all deferred acquisition costs were recoverable. No events occurred in the year ended December 31, 2014 that suggested a review should be undertaken.

F-56



The following table provides information about deferred acquisition costs for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013:

2014       2013
Balance at beginning of period $       428,936 $       56,202
       Capitalization of commissions, sales and
        issue expense 125,027 426,710
       Gross Amortization (103,778 ) (53,976 )
Balance at end of period $ 450,185 $ 428,936

Furniture and equipment : Furniture and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of the depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. The estimated life used in determining depreciation is three years for electronic data processing equipment and five years for furniture. Accumulated depreciation at December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $27,264 and $15,207, respectively. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

Goodwill : The Company’s goodwill was recorded as a result of the Company’s business combination using the acquisition method of accounting.

The Company tests for goodwill impairment upon the occurrence of an event or circumstance that may indicate the fair value of the company is less than its carrying amount and has elected to perform this test at the company level. If events or circumstances are present that may indicate the fair value of the company is less than its carrying value, the estimated fair value of the company is compared to is carrying amount and an impairment loss is recognized for the excess of the carrying amount over fair value (if any), not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. Since the combination occurred on December 31, 2014, no impairment was identified at December 31, 2014.

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

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

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

Deposit-type contracts : Deposit-type contracts consist of amounts on deposit associated with deferred annuity riders and premium deposit funds.

Income taxes : The Company is subject to Federal income tax in the United States. Tax regulations are subject to interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and required significant judgment to apply. The provision for income taxes is based on income as reported in the financial statements. Deferred taxes are provided on an asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

F-57



The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. Management evaluated the Company’s tax positions and concluded that the Company had taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustments to the financial statements.

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. Federal and various other jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal, or state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities except for the last three years filed.

Common stock : The common stock has a $.10 par value, with dividend rights payable to holders of common stock on a pro rata basis.

Offering costs : Certain costs directly related to the sale of the Company’s securities are capitalized against the proceeds from the sales. These costs include legal fees, recruiting and training expenses, commissions, printing, and other direct expenses related to the offering. These costs were reclassed against additional paid-in capital upon the Company’s exit from the development stage. No offering costs were incurred for the years ended December 31, 2014 or 2013.

Net loss per common stock : Net loss per common share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Accordingly, the weighted average common shares outstanding were 4,090,092 and 4,179,005 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Revenues and expenses : Revenues on traditional life products consist of direct premiums reported as earned when due, net of reinsurance ceded. Liabilities for future policy benefits are provided and acquisition costs are deferred and amortized by associating benefits and expenses with earned premiums to recognize related profits over the life of the contracts. Acquisition costs are amortized over the premium paying period using the net level premium method. Traditional life insurance products are treated as long duration contracts since they are ordinary whole life insurance products, which generally remain in force for the lifetime of the insured.

Risk and uncertainties : Certain risks and uncertainties are inherent in our day-to-day operations and in the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements. The more significant of those risks and uncertainties, as well as the Company’s method for mitigating the risks, are presented below and throughout the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Estimates - The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Included among the material (or potentially material) reported amounts and disclosures that require extensive use of estimates are: fair value of certain invested assets, deferred acquisition costs, value of business acquired, goodwill, and future contract benefits.

Reinsurance - Reinsurance contracts do not relieve us from our obligations to insureds. Failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company; consequently, allowances are established for amounts deemed uncollectible when necessary. We evaluate the financial condition of our reinsurers to minimize our exposure to losses from reinsurer insolvencies. Management believes that any liabilities arising from this contingency would not be material to the Company’s financial position.

Investment risk - The Company is exposed to risks that issuers of securities owned by the Company will default or that interest rates will change and cause a decrease in the value of our investments. As interest rates decline, the velocity at which these securities pay down the principal may increase. Management mitigates these risks by conservatively investing in investment-grade securities and by matching maturities of our investments with the anticipated payouts of our liabilities.

F-58



Interest-rate risk - Interest rate risk arises from the price sensitivity of investments to changes in interest rates. Interest and dividend income represent the greatest portion of an investment’s return for most fixed maturity securities in stable interest rate environments. The changes in the fair value of such investments are inversely related to changes in market interest rates. As interest rates fall, the interest and dividend streams of existing fixed-rate investments become more valuable and fair values rise. As interest rates rise, the opposite effect occurs.

The Company attempts to mitigate its exposure to adverse interest rate movements through staggering the maturities of the fixed maturity investments and through maintaining cash and other short term investments to assure sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations and to address reinvestment risk considerations. Due to the composition of our book of insurance business, we believe it is unlikely that we would encounter large surrender activity due to an interest rate increase that would force the disposal of fixed maturities at a loss.

Credit risk - The Company is exposed to credit risk through counterparties and within the investment portfolio. Credit risk relates to the uncertainty associated with an obligor’s ability to make timely payments of principal and interest in accordance with the contractual terms of an instrument or contract. The Company manages its credit risk through established investment credit policies and guidelines which address the quality of creditors and counterparties, concentration limits, diversification practices and acceptable risk levels. These policies and guidelines are regularly reviewed and approved by senior management.

Regulatory factors - The Company’s subsidiary, First Wyoming Life, is highly regulated by the Wyoming Department of Insurance. Such regulations, among other things, impose restrictions on the amount and type of investments and the minimum surplus required to conduct business in the state. The impact of the regulatory initiatives in response to the recent financial crisis, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, could subject the Company to substantial additional regulation.

Vulnerability due to certain concentrations - The Company monitors economic and regulatory developments that have the potential to impact our business. Federal legislation has allowed banks and other financial organizations to have greater participation in insurance businesses. This legislation may present an increased level of competition for sales of the Company’s products.

Subsequent events : Events occurring subsequent to the balance sheet date have been evaluated for financial statement impact or disclosure through May 13, 2015, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

Recent accounting pronouncements : In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward or Tax Credit Carryforward Exists, which finalizes Proposed ASU No. EITF-13C, and requires an entity's unrecognized tax benefit to be presented in its financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, with one exception. That exception states that, to the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position, or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The ASU applies prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Retrospective application and early adoption are also permitted. We do not expect ASU No. 2013-11 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) regarding accounting for revenue recognition that identifies the accounting treatment for an entity's contracts with customers. Although insurance contracts are excluded from this ASU, other customer contracts of the Company would be covered. This guidance is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance, but it does not believe that there will be a material impact to the consolidated financial statements.

              Foreign corporate securities - -
              Domestic corporate securities 619,508 44,460

The Company’s decision to record an impairment loss is primarily based on whether the security’s fair value is likely to remain significantly below its book value in light of all the factors considered. Factors that are considered include the length of time the security’s fair value has been below its cost amount and the severity of the decline in value. The Company also assesses recovery value. Management believes that the Company will fully recover its cost basis in the securities held at December 31, 2014, and management does not have the intent to sell nor is it more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell such securities until they recover.

The following are the components of net investment income for the years ended December 31:

2014       2013
       Cash and short-term investments $       99 $       1,424
       Fixed maturity securities 154,835 143,459
154,934 144,883
       Investment expenses (6,500 ) (17,863 )
$ 148,434 $ 127,020

Gross gains of $7,418 and $99,863 and gross losses of $40,672 and $35,364 were recognized on investment sales during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Gross proceeds from the sale of securities were $3,672,906 and $3,612,916 during 2014 and 2013, respectively. Gross proceeds for the maturities of securities were $103,000 and none during 2013.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of fixed maturities at December 31, 2014, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Investments made by the Company are in accordance with the Company’s Board of Directors’ approved investment policy. First Wyoming Life must further comply with investment rules and regulations of the Wyoming Insurance Department. In accordance with these rules and regulations, at December 31, 2014 and 2013, First Wyoming Life has a required statutory deposit of an investment security with a fair value of $204,656 and $207,984, respectively, with the Wyoming Insurance Department for the benefit of future policyholders.

Note 3. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Accounting standards establish a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt and equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market, as well as U.S. Treasury securities.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments. This category generally includes certain U.S. Government and agency mortgage-backed debt securities and corporate debt securities.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. This category generally includes certain private debt and equity investments.

The following discussion describes the valuation methodologies used for financial assets measured at fair value. The techniques utilized in estimating the fair values are affected by the assumptions used. Care should be exercised in deriving conclusions about the Company’s operations or financial position based on the fair value information of financial assets presented below.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on available market information and judgments about the financial asset, including estimates of timing, amount of expected future cash flows and the credit standing of the issuer. In some cases, the fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets. In addition, the disclosed fair value may not be realized in the immediate settlement of the financial asset. In addition, the disclosed fair values do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time an entire holding of a particular financial asset.

The fair value for fixed maturity securities are based on prices provided by the Company’s custodian bank. The custodian bank uses a variety of pricing sources to determine fair valuations. The Company’s bonds are highly liquid, which allows for a high percentage of the portfolio to be priced through pricing services.

The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for those financial instruments measured at fair value as of December 31:

2014
Level 1       Level 2       Level 3       Total

Note 4. Deferred Acquisition Cost

The Company capitalizes agent compensation and benefits and other expenses that are directly related to the successful acquisition of contracts. The Company also capitalizes expenses directly related to activities performed by the Company such as underwriting, issuance and processing fees incurred in connection with successful contract acquisitions. The Company performs a recoverability analysis annually unless events occur which requires an immediate review. The Company determined for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 all acquisition costs were recoverable.

Note 5. Income Taxes

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction. Temporary differences between financial reporting and tax are not expected to be significant. The Company has estimated tax net operating losses of approximately $4,100,000 expiring in 2029 through 2034. First Wyoming Life has estimated tax net operating losses of approximately $600,000 expiring in 2026 through 2029. The Company has established a valuation allowance against this deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty of its ability to be used given the lack of taxable income to date. The valuation allowance increased $156,316 and $306,291 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company’s and its subsidiaries tax returns remain subject to examination by tax authorities for the last three years filed.

F-63



Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31 are as follows:

2014 2013
Deferred Tax Assets
       Net operating loss carryforward $ 1,506,481 $ 1,329,919
       Reserves 71,049 66,027
       Net unrealized loss on available-for-sale securities 20,722 52,970
  1,598,252 1,448,916
       Valuation allowance (1,513,944 ) (1,357,627 )
              Total deferred tax assets 84,308 91,289
Deferred Tax Liabilities
       Deferred acquisition costs (74,860 ) (75,922 )
       Due premiums (9,448 ) (15,367 )
              Total deferred tax liabilities (84,308 ) (91,289 )
              Net deferred tax assets $         -       $         -

The applicable tax rates utilized for determination of deferred taxes were 34% for the Company and 20% for First Wyoming Life.

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company has recognized in the financial statements the effects of all tax positions and continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, changes in tax law, and new authoritative rulings. The Company is not aware of any circumstances or events that make it reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits may increase or decrease within 12 months of the balance sheet date. Penalties and interest assessed by taxing authorities are included in the provision for income taxes, if applicable. There were no interest or penalties paid during 2014 and 2013.

Note 6. Reinsurance and Concentration of Risk

The Company utilizes a reinsurance agreement to reduce exposure to large losses in all aspects of its insurance business. Such reinsurance permits recovery of a portion of losses from their reinsurer, although it does not discharge the primary liability of the Company as direct insurer of the risk reinsured. The Company evaluates the financial strength of potential reinsurers and continually monitors the financial condition of the reinsurer. The Company purchases reinsurance through one reinsurer who has an A.M. Best rating A- as of its list rating dated August 29, 2014.

The Company ceded $22,240 and $6,429 of premiums for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company estimated none and $168,000, respectively, to be receivable from the reinsurance company. The Company reduced death and other benefits expense by none and $162,029 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, for revenue recognized under reinsurance agreements.

F-64



Note 7. Deposit-Type Contracts

The Company’s deposit-type contracts represent the contract value that has accrued to the benefit of the policyholder as of the balance sheet date. Liabilities for these deposit-type contracts are included without reduction for potential surrender charges. The liability is equal to the accumulated account deposits, plus interest credited, and less any policyholder withdrawals. The following table provides information about deposit-type contracts for the year ended December 31, 2014:

Beginning balance, December 31, 2013 $ 276,089
       Deposits received 295,403
       Interest earnings 19,591
       Withdrawals (34,600 )
$        556,483

Note 8. Commitments, Contingencies, and Subsequent Events

The Company has entered into a lease of office space in Wyoming pursuant to a three-year lease, which ends on August 31, 2016. The Colorado office space that held the operations of Rocky Mountain Capital Corporation prior to the merger has operating leases that expire at the end of August 2016. However, subsequent to year end, the Company negotiated an early termination of the lease requiring the payment of three months’ rent. Future minimum payments under the lease for the remaining contract period are as follows:

Year ending December 31 ,       Wyoming       Colorado       Total
2015 36,928 5,403 42,331
2016 24,992 -   24,992

Total office rent for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $36,096 and $35,432, respectively.

First Wyoming Life is subject to assessments by the regulatory authorities in the State of Wyoming. There are no material assessments accrued at this time. First Wyoming Life is expected to be assessed in 2015 by the Wyoming Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association; however, this assessment is not considered material in relation to the overall financial position of the Subsidiary.

Note 9. Shareholders’ Equity and Dividend Restrictions

Statutory restrictions limit the amount of dividends which may be paid by First Wyoming Life. Generally, dividends during any year may not be paid, without prior regulatory approval, in excess of the lesser of: a) 10% of statutory surplus as of the preceding December 31; or b) statutory net gain from operations for the preceding year. For 2014, the Company cannot pay a dividend based on these restrictions without regulatory approval.

Note 10. Statutory Accounting Practices

First Wyoming Life’s statutory-basis capital and surplus was $3,272,791 and $3,580,122 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Statutory-basis net loss was $311,804 and $128,405 for 2014 and 2013, respectively. There is one regulatory requirement that the Company is required to meet in regards to statutory surplus. This is a risk based capital requirement whereby the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) requires a minimum level of 200% to avoid regulatory requirements. The Company is in compliance with this requirement at December 31, 2014.

Principal adjustments to statutory accounting principles amounts to derive GAAP amounts include: a) costs of acquiring new policies are deferred and amortized; b) benefit reserves are calculated using more realistic investment, mortality and withdrawal assumptions; c) changes in deferred taxes associated with timing differences are recorded in net income rather than directly to surplus; d) accounting for certain investments in debt securities is at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of equity; and e) statutory asset valuation reserves and interest maintenance reserves are eliminated.

F-65



Note 11. Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents : The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the highly-liquid nature or short maturity on those instruments.

Available-for-sale securities : Fair value for investment securities are based on quoted market prices, information obtained from lending pricing services or third-party sources.

Other investments : The carrying value approximates fair value due to the restrictions related to the sale, transfer or disposition of the investment.

Accrued interest and dividends : The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these assets.

The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows:

2014 2013
Carrying Carrying
      Amount       Fair Value       Amount       Fair Value
Cash and cash equivalents $ 376,309 $ 376,309 $ 842,817 $ 842,817

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of business:  First Wyoming Capital Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in Wyoming on July 8, 2009, for the primary purpose of organizing a life insurance subsidiary. In July 2009, the Company raised $150,000 from the initial offering of 1,500,000 common shares. After the initial offering, the Company raised $750,000 from a private placement of 750,000 shares. On April 26, 2010, the Company’s intra-state public stock offering filed with the Wyoming Secretary of State for $7,500,000, which included a 15% “over-sale” provision (additional sales of $1,125,000), was declared effective. Effective November 18, 2011, the Company amended the intra-state public stock offering to increase the offering to a maximum of $10,000,000. The offering was completed on June 29, 2012. The Company raised $9,645,025 from the sale of 1,929,005 common shares from this offering. The Company was in the development stage through 2011. The year 2012 was the first year during which it was considered an operating company.

First Wyoming Capital Corporation has a wholly owned subsidiary, First Wyoming Life Insurance Company (“First Wyoming Life”), domiciled in Wyoming. This Subsidiary was incorporated on June 24, 2011 and initially capitalized with $400,000. Additional capital contributions of $3,600,000 were made during 2011. First Wyoming LIFE is a life insurance company and operates in the state of Wyoming. First Wyoming Life began issuing business on August 17, 2012.

On December 31, 2014, Rocky Mountain Capital Corporation (Rocky Mountain) was merged into the Company. Rocky Mountain had 3,270,711 shares of outstanding stock prior to the merger valued at $0.23 per share. The Company’s stock was valued at $1.33 per share so for each share of Rocky Mountain stock they were converted at an exchange ratio of $0.17 per share. The Company’s common stock increased approximately 534,484 shares due to the merger.

Rocky Mountain’s wholly owned subsidiary, United Sales Alliance Corporation, became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company at the time of the merger. United Sales Alliance Corporation is a Colorado corporation that was organized on January 28, 2013 for the purpose of selling life insurance and related insurance products.

Principles of consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its’ Subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies follows:

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

Estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near-term relate to the liability for estimated benefit reserves and deferred acquisition costs.

Cash and cash equivalents: For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all liquid assets and money market funds purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in back deposit accounts that at times exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

Investments in fixed maturities: The Company has investments in fixed maturity securities. Fixed maturity securities consist primarily of obligations of U.S. Treasury, municipalities, foreign corporations, and domestic corporations.

F-70



The investments in fixed maturity securities have been classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value, and unrealized holding gains and losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Declines in value judged to be other than temporary are included in investments and expense. Premiums and discounts on investments in debt securities are amortized over their contractual lives. The method of amortization results in a constant effective yield on those securities (the interest method).

Interest on debt securities is recognized in income as earned. Realized gains and losses, including losses from declines in value of specific securities determined by management to be other than temporary, are included in revenue and investments. Realized gains and losses are determined on the basis of the specific securities sold.

Declines in the fair value of available-for-sale securities below their amortized cost are evaluated to assess whether any other-than-temporary impairment loss should be recorded. In determining if these losses are expected to be other-than-temporary, the Company considers severity of impairment, duration of impairment, forecasted recovery period, industry outlook, financial condition of the issuer, projected cash flows, issuer credit ratings and the intent and ability of the Company to hold the investment until the recovery of the cost.

The recognition of other-than-temporary impairment losses on debt securities is dependent on the facts and circumstances related to the specific security. If the Company intends to sell a security or it is more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell a security prior to recovery of the amortized cost, the difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as an other-than-temporary impairment. If the Company does not expect to recover the amortized basis, does not plan to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell a security before the recovery of its amortized cost, the recognition of the other-than-temporary impairment is bifurcated. The Company recognizes the credit loss portion on the income statement and the noncredit loss portion in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The credit component of an other-than-temporary impairment is determined by comparing the net present value of projected cash flows with the amortized cost basis of the debt security. The net present value is calculated by discounting the Company’s best estimate of projected future cash flows at the effective interest rate implicit in the fixed income security at the date of acquisition. Cash flow estimates are driven by assumptions regarding probability of default, including changes in credit ratings, and estimates regarding timing and amount of recoveries associated with a default. No other-than-temporary impairments were recognized during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 or year ended December 31, 2014.

Other investments:  The Company held an investment in the stock of Rocky Mountain Capital Corporation which was carried at cost. The Company acquired Rocky Mountain Capital Corporation as of December 31, 2014.

Deferred acquisition costs:  The Company adopted Accounting Standards update (ASU) 2010-26, Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts, effective January 1, 2012. Under the new guidance, incremental direct costs that result directly from and are essential to the contract acquisition transaction and would not have been incurred by the Company had the contract acquisition not occurred, are capitalized and amortized over the life of the premiums produced. An entity may defer incremental direct costs of contract acquisition that are incurred in transactions with independent third parties or employees as well as the portion of employee compensation and other costs directly related to underwriting, policy issuance and processing, medical inspection, and contract selling for successfully negotiated contracts. Additionally, an entity may capitalize as a deferred acquisition cost only those advertising costs meeting the capitalization criteria for direct-response advertising.

Pursuant to this guidance, the Company evaluated the types of acquisition costs it capitalizes. The Company capitalizes agent compensation and benefits and other expenses that are directly related to the successful acquisition of contracts. The Company also capitalizes expenses directly related to activities performed by the Company, such as underwriting, policy issuance, and processing fees incurred in connection with successful contract acquisition.

Recoverability of deferred acquisition costs is evaluated periodically by comparing the current estimate of the present value of expected pretax future profits to the unamortized asset balance. If this current estimate is less than the existing balance, the difference is charged to expense. The Company performs a recoverability analysis annually in the fourth quarter unless events occur which require an immediate review. The Company determined during its December 31, 2014 analysis that all deferred acquisition costs were recoverable. No events occurred in the period ended June 30, 2015 that suggested a review should be undertaken.  

F-71



The following table provides information about deferred acquisition costs for the years ended June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

June 30, 2015       December 31, 2014
Balance at beginning of period $ 450,185 $ 428,936
       Capitalization of commissions, sales and issue expense 22,465 125,027
       Gross Amortization (30,611 ) (103,778 )
Balance at end of period $                442,039 $                450,185

Furniture and equipment: Furniture and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of the depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. The estimated life used in determining depreciation is three years for electronic data processing equipment and five years for furniture. Accumulated depreciation at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $23,970 and $27,264, respectively. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

Goodwill: The Company’s goodwill was recorded as a result of the Company’s business combination using the acquisition method of accounting.

The Company tests for goodwill impairment upon the occurrence of an event or circumstance that may indicate the fair value of the company is less than its carrying amount and has elected to perform this test at the company level. If events or circumstances are present that may indicate the fair value of the company is less than its carrying value, the estimated fair value of the company is compared to is carrying amount and an impairment loss is recognized for the excess of the carrying amount over fair value (if any), not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. Since the combination occurred on December 31, 2014, no impairment was identified at June 30, 2015.

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

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

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

Deposit-type contracts: Deposit-type contracts consist of amounts on deposit associated with deferred annuity riders and premium deposit funds.

Income taxes:  The Company is subject to Federal income tax in the United States. Tax regulations are subject to interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and required significant judgment to apply. The provision for income taxes is based on income as reported in the financial statements. Deferred taxes are provided on an asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

F-72



The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. Management evaluated the Company’s tax positions and concluded that the Company had taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustments to the financial statements.

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. Federal and various other jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal, or state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities except for the last three years filed.

Common stock : The common stock has a $.10 par value, with dividend rights payable to holders of common stock on a pro rata basis.

Offering costs: Certain costs directly related to the sale of the Company’s securities are capitalized against the proceeds from the sales. These costs include legal fees, recruiting and training expenses, commissions, printing, and other direct expenses related to the offering. These costs were reclassed against additional paid-in capital upon the Company’s exit from the development stage. No offering costs were incurred for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 or year ended December 31, 2014.

Net loss per common stock : Net loss per common share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Accordingly, the weighted average common shares outstanding were 4,495,354 and 4,090,092 for the six months ending June 30, 2015 and year ending December 31, 2014, respectively.

Revenues and expenses : Revenues on traditional life products consist of direct premiums reported as earned when due, net of reinsurance ceded. Liabilities for future policy benefits are provided and acquisition costs are deferred and amortized by associating benefits and expenses with earned premiums to recognize related profits over the life of the contracts. Acquisition costs are amortized over the premium paying period using the net level premium method. Traditional life insurance products are treated as long duration contracts since they are ordinary whole life insurance products, which generally remain in force for the lifetime of the insured.

Risk and uncertainties : Certain risks and uncertainties are inherent in our day-to-day operations and in the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements. The more significant of those risks and uncertainties, as well as the Company’s method for mitigating the risks, are presented below and throughout the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Estimates - The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Included among the material (or potentially material) reported amounts and disclosures that require extensive use of estimates are: fair value of certain invested assets, deferred acquisition costs, value of business acquired, goodwill, and future contract benefits.

Reinsurance - Reinsurance contracts do not relieve us from our obligations to insureds. Failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company; consequently, allowances are established for amounts deemed uncollectible when necessary. We evaluate the financial condition of our reinsurers to minimize our exposure to losses from reinsurer insolvencies. Management believes that any liabilities arising from this contingency would not be material to the Company’s financial position.

Investment risk - The Company is exposed to risks that issuers of securities owned by the Company will default or that interest rates will change and cause a decrease in the value of our investments. As interest rates decline, the velocity at which these securities pay down the principal may increase. Management mitigates these risks by conservatively investing in investment-grade securities and by matching maturities of our investments with the anticipated payouts of our liabilities.

F-73



Interest-rate risk - Interest rate risk arises from the price sensitivity of investments to changes in interest rates. Interest and dividend income represent the greatest portion of an investment’s return for most fixed maturity securities in stable interest rate environments. The changes in the fair value of such investments are inversely related to changes in market interest rates. As interest rates fall, the interest and dividend streams of existing fixed-rate investments become more valuable and fair values rise. As interest rates rise, the opposite effect occurs.

The Company attempts to mitigate its exposure to adverse interest rate movements through staggering the maturities of the fixed maturity investments and through maintaining cash and other short term investments to assure sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations and to address reinvestment risk considerations. Due to the composition of our book of insurance business, we believe it is unlikely that we would encounter large surrender activity due to an interest rate increase that would force the disposal of fixed maturities at a loss.

Credit risk - The Company is exposed to credit risk through counterparties and within the investment portfolio. Credit risk relates to the uncertainty associated with an obligor’s ability to make timely payments of principal and interest in accordance with the contractual terms of an instrument or contract. The Company manages its credit risk through established investment credit policies and guidelines which address the quality of creditors and counterparties, concentration limits, diversification practices and acceptable risk levels. These policies and guidelines are regularly reviewed and approved by senior management.

Regulatory factors - The Company’s subsidiary, First Wyoming Life, is highly regulated by the Wyoming Department of Insurance. Such regulations, among other things, impose restrictions on the amount and type of investments and the minimum surplus required to conduct business in the state. The impact of the regulatory initiatives in response to the recent financial crisis, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, could subject the Company to substantial additional regulation.

Vulnerability due to certain concentrations - The Company monitors economic and regulatory developments that have the potential to impact our business. Federal legislation has allowed banks and other financial organizations to have greater participation in insurance businesses. This legislation may present an increased level of competition for sales of the Company’s products.

Subsequent events : Events occurring subsequent to the balance sheet date have been evaluated for financial statement impact or disclosure through May 13, 2015, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

Recent accounting pronouncements : In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) regarding accounting for revenue recognition that identifies the accounting treatment for an entity's contracts with customers. Although insurance contracts are excluded from this ASU, other customer contracts of the Company would be covered. This guidance is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance, but it does not believe that there will be a material impact to the consolidated financial statements.

              Municipal securities $ 111,688 $ 517
              Foreign corporate securities - -
              Domestic corporate securities 1,364,041 34,088

The Company’s decision to record an impairment loss is primarily based on whether the security’s fair value is likely to remain significantly below its book value in light of all the factors considered. Factors that are considered include the length of time the security’s fair value has been below its cost amount and the severity of the decline in value. The Company also assesses recovery value. Management believes that the Company will fully recover its cost basis in the securities held at June 30, 2015, and management does not have the intent to sell nor is it more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell such securities until they recover.

The following are the components of net investment income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014:

Three Months

Gross gains of $3,386 and $6,048 and gross losses of $26,765 and $19,884 were recognized on investment sales during the period ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Gross proceeds from the sale of securities were $1,450,721 and $2,201,828 during period ending June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of fixed maturities at June 30, 2015, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Investments made by the Company are in accordance with the Company’s Board of Directors’ approved investment policy. First Wyoming Life must further comply with investment rules and regulations of the Wyoming Insurance Department. In accordance with these rules and regulations, at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, First Wyoming Life has a required statutory deposit of an investment security with a fair value of $202,984 and $204,656, respectively, with the Wyoming Insurance Department for the benefit of future policyholders.

Note 3. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Accounting standards establish a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt and equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market, as well as U.S. Treasury securities.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments. This category generally includes certain U.S. Government and agency mortgage-backed debt securities and corporate debt securities.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. This category generally includes certain private debt and equity investments.

The following discussion describes the valuation methodologies used for financial assets measured at fair value. The techniques utilized in estimating the fair values are affected by the assumptions used. Care should be exercised in deriving conclusions about the Company’s operations or financial position based on the fair value information of financial assets presented below.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on available market information and judgments about the financial asset, including estimates of timing, amount of expected future cash flows and the credit standing of the issuer. In some cases, the fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets. In addition, the disclosed fair value may not be realized in the immediate settlement of the financial asset. In addition, the disclosed fair values do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time an entire holding of a particular financial asset.

F-77



The fair value for fixed maturity securities are based on prices provided by the Company’s custodian bank. The custodian bank uses a variety of pricing sources to determine fair valuations. The Company’s bonds are highly liquid, which allows for a high percentage of the portfolio to be priced through pricing services.

The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for those financial instruments measured at fair value as of June 30:

2015
Level 1       Level 2       Level 3       Total
Fixed Maturity Securities
       U.S. Treasury security $       202,984 $       - $       - $       202,984
       Municipal securities - 1,057,772 - 1,057,772
       Foreign corporate securities - 117,857 - 117,857
       Domestic corporate securities - 2,907,965 - 2,907,965
              Total fixed maturity securities $ 202,984 $ 4,083,594 $ - $ 4,286,578

       U.S. Treasury security $ 204,656 $ - $ - $ 204,656
       Municipal securities - 1,184,350 - 1,184,350
       Foreign corporate securities - 118,972 - 118,972
       Domestic corporate securities - 3,163,314 - 3,163,314
              Total fixed maturity securities $ 204,656 $ 4,466,636 $ - $ 4,671,292

Note 4. Deferred Acquisition Cost

The Company capitalizes agent compensation and benefits and other expenses that are directly related to the successful acquisition of contracts. The Company also capitalizes expenses directly related to activities performed by the Company such as underwriting, issuance and processing fees incurred in connection with successful contract acquisitions. The Company performs a recoverability analysis annually unless events occur which requires an immediate review. The Company determined for the period ended June 30, 2015 and year ended December 31, 2014 all acquisition costs were recoverable.

Note 5. Income Taxes

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction. Temporary differences between financial reporting and tax are not expected to be significant. The Company has estimated tax net operating losses of approximately $4,100,000 expiring in 2029 through 2035. First Wyoming Life has estimated tax net operating losses of approximately $600,000 expiring in 2026 through 2030. The Company has established a valuation allowance against this deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty of its ability to be used given the lack of taxable income to date. The Company’s and its subsidiaries tax returns remain subject to examination by tax authorities for the last three years filed.

F-78



Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2015 are as follows:

2015       2014
Deferred Tax Assets
       Net operating loss carryforward $       1,701,161 $       1,506,481
       Reserves 29,489 71,049
       Net unrealized loss on available-for-sale securities 20,722 20,722
   1,751,372 1,598,252
       Valuation allowance (1,653,130 ) (1,513,944 )
              Total deferred tax assets 98,243 84,308
  
Deferred Tax Liabilities
       Deferred acquisition costs (86,716 ) (74,860 )
       Due premiums (11,527 ) (9,448 )
              Total deferred tax liabilities (98,243 ) (84,308 )
  
              Net deferred tax assets $ - $ -

The applicable tax rates utilized for determination of deferred taxes were 34% for the Company and 20% for First Wyoming Life.

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company has recognized in the financial statements the effects of all tax positions and continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, changes in tax law, and new authoritative rulings. The Company is not aware of any circumstances or events that make it reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits may increase or decrease within 12 months of the balance sheet date. Penalties and interest assessed by taxing authorities are included in the provision for income taxes, if applicable. There no interest or penalties were paid during the period ending June 30, 2015 or year ended December 31, 2014.

Note 6. Reinsurance and Concentration of Risk

The Company utilizes a reinsurance agreement to reduce exposure to large losses in all aspects of its insurance business. Such reinsurance permits recovery of a portion of losses from their reinsurer, although it does not discharge the primary liability of the Company as direct insurer of the risk reinsured. The Company evaluates the financial strength of potential reinsurers and continually monitors the financial condition of the reinsurer. The Company purchases reinsurance through one reinsurer who has an A.M. Best rating A- as of its list rating dated August 29, 2014.

The Company ceded $13,410 and $22,240 of premiums for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

F-79



Note 7. Deposit-Type Contracts

The Company’s deposit-type contracts represent the contract value that has accrued to the benefit of the policyholder as of the balance sheet date. Liabilities for these deposit-type contracts are included without reduction for potential surrender charges. The liability is equal to the accumulated account deposits, plus interest credited, and less any policyholder withdrawals. The following table provides information about deposit-type contracts for the period ended June 30, 2015:

Beginning balance, December 31, 2014 $ 556,483
       Deposits received 169,857
       Interest earnings 16,020
       Contract charges (100 )
       Withdrawals (20,518 )
$       721,742

Note 8. Commitments, Contingencies, and Subsequent Events

The Company has entered into a lease of office space in Wyoming pursuant to a three-year lease, which ends on August 31, 2016. The Colorado office space that held the operations of Rocky Mountain Capital Corporation prior to the merger has operating leases that expire at the end of August 2016. However, subsequent to year end, the Company negotiated an early termination of the lease requiring the payment of three months’ rent. Future minimum payments under the lease for the remaining contract period are as follows:

                       Year ending December 31, Wyoming
2015 36,928
2016   24,992

Total office rent for the six months ending June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $21,824 and $20,573, respectively.

First Wyoming Life is subject to assessments by the regulatory authorities in the State of Wyoming. There are no material assessments accrued at this time. First Wyoming Life is expected to be assessed during 2015 by the Wyoming Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association; however, this assessment is not considered material in relation to the overall financial position of the Subsidiary.

Note 9. Shareholders’ Equity and Dividend Restrictions

Statutory restrictions limit the amount of dividends which may be paid by First Wyoming Life. Generally, dividends during any year may not be paid, without prior regulatory approval, in excess of the lesser of: a) 10% of statutory surplus as of the preceding December 31; or b) statutory net gain from operations for the preceding year. For 2015, the Company cannot pay a dividend based on these restrictions without regulatory approval.

Note 10. Statutory Accounting Practices

First Wyoming Life’s statutory-basis capital and surplus was $3,093,837 and $3,272,791 at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Statutory-basis net loss was $165,211 and $311,804 for June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. There is one regulatory requirement that the Company is required to meet in regards to statutory surplus. This is a risk based capital requirement whereby the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) requires a minimum level of 200% to avoid regulatory requirements. The Company is in compliance with this requirement at June 30, 2015.

Principal adjustments to statutory accounting principles amounts to derive GAAP amounts include: a) costs of acquiring new policies are deferred and amortized; b) benefit reserves are calculated using more realistic investment, mortality and withdrawal assumptions; c) changes in deferred taxes associated with timing differences are recorded in net income rather than directly to surplus; d) accounting for certain investments in debt securities is at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of equity; and e) statutory asset valuation reserves and interest maintenance reserves are eliminated.

Note 11. Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the highly-liquid nature or short maturity on those instruments.

Available-for-sale securities : Fair value for investment securities are based on quoted market prices, information obtained from lending pricing services or third-party sources.

Other investments : The carrying value approximates fair value due to the restrictions related to the sale, transfer or disposition of the investment.

Accrued interest and dividends : The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these assets.

The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows:

June 30, 2015 December 31, 2014
Carrying             Carrying      
Amount Fair Value Amount Fair Value
Cash and cash equivalents $       360,216 $       360,216 $       376,309 $       376,309

In addition, if applicable, the shareholder shall certify on the form whether the beneficial owner of such shares acquired beneficial ownership of the shares before the date required to be set forth in the notice pursuant to W.S. 17-16-1322(b)(i). If a shareholder fails to make this certification, the corporation may elect to treat the shareholder's shares as after acquired shares under W.S. 17-16-1324.

A shareholder who fails to so withdraw from the appraisal process may not thereafter withdraw without the corporation's written consent.

(c) A shareholder who does not sign and return the form and, in the case of certificated shares, deposit his share certificates where required, each by the date set forth in the notice described in W.S. 17-16-1322(b), is not entitled to payment under this article.

17-16-1324. Payment.

(a) Except as provided in W.S. 17-16-1325, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the form required by W.S. 17-16-1322(b)(ii)(B) is due, the corporation shall pay in cash or other agreed upon consideration to those shareholders who complied with W.S. 17-16-1323 the amount the corporation estimates to be the fair value of his shares, plus interest.

(b) The payment to each shareholder pursuant to subsection (a) of this section shall be accompanied by:

(i) The annual financial statements specified in W.S. 17-16-1620(a) of the corporation that issued the shares to be appraised, which shall be of a date ending not more than sixteen (16) months before the date of payment and shall comply with W.S. 17-16-1620(b), provided that if such annual financial statements are not reasonably available, the corporation shall provide reasonably equivalent financial information. The corporation shall also provide the latest available quarterly financial statements, if any;

B-6

17-16-1325. After-acquired shares.

(a) A corporation may elect to withhold payment required by W.S. 17-16-1324 from any shareholder who was required to, but did not certify that beneficial ownership of all of the shareholder's shares for which appraisal rights are asserted was acquired before the date set forth in the appraisal notice sent pursuant to W.S. 17-16-1322(b)(i).

(b) If the corporation elected to withhold payment under subsection (a) of this section, it shall, within thirty (30) days after the form required by W.S. 17-16-1322(b)(ii)(B) is due, notify all shareholders described in subsection (a) of this section:

(i) Of the information required by W.S. 17-16-1324(b)(i);

(ii) Of the corporation's estimate of fair value pursuant to W.S. 17-16-1324(b)(ii);

(iii) That they may accept the corporation's estimate of fair value, plus interest, in full satisfaction of their demands or demand appraisal under W.S. 17-16-1326;

(iv) That those shareholders who wish to accept the offer shall so notify the corporation of their acceptance of the corporation's offer within thirty (30) days after receiving the offer; and

(v) That those shareholders who do not satisfy the requirements for demanding appraisal under W.S. 17-16-1326 shall be deemed to have accepted the corporation's offer.

(c) Within ten (10) days after receiving the shareholder's acceptance pursuant to subsection (b) of this section, the corporation shall pay in cash or other agreed upon consideration the amount it offered under paragraph (b)(ii) of this section to each shareholder who agreed to accept the corporation's offer in full satisfaction of the shareholder's demand.

(d) Within one hundred thirty (130) days after sending the notice described in subsection (b) of this section, the corporation shall pay in cash the amount it offered to pay under paragraph (b)(ii) of this section to each shareholder described in paragraph (b)(v) of this section.

17-16-1326. Procedure if shareholder dissatisfied with payment or offer.

(a) A shareholder paid pursuant to W.S. 17-16-1324 who is dissatisfied with the amount of the payment may notify the corporation in writing of that shareholder's estimate of the fair value of his shares and demand payment of his estimate plus interest, less any payment under W.S. 17-16-1324. A shareholder offered payment under W.S. 17-16-1325 who is dissatisfied with that offer shall reject the offer and demand payment of the shareholder's stated estimate of the fair value of the shares plus interest.

(b) A shareholder who fails to notify the corporation in writing of that shareholder's demand to be paid the shareholder's stated estimate of the fair value plus interest under subsection (a) of this section within thirty (30) days after receiving the corporation's payment or offer of payment under W.S. 17-16-1324 or 17-16-1325, respectively, waives the right to demand payment under this section and shall be entitled only to the payment made or offered pursuant to those respective sections.

B-7



17-16-1330. Court action.

(a) If a shareholder makes a demand for payment under W.S. 17-16-1326 which remains unsettled, the corporation shall commence a proceeding within sixty (60) days after receiving the payment demand and petition the court to determine the fair value of the shares and accrued interest. If the corporation does not commence the proceeding within the sixty (60) day period, it shall pay each shareholder demanding appraisal rights whose demand remains unsettled the amount demanded pursuant to W.S. 17-16-1326 plus interest.

(b) The corporation shall commence the proceeding in the district court of the county where a corporation's principal office, or if none in this state, its registered office, is located. If the corporation is a foreign corporation without a registered office in this state, it shall commence the proceeding in the county in this state where the principal office or registered office of the domestic corporation merged with or whose shares were acquired by the foreign corporation was located at the time of the transaction.

(c) The corporation shall make all shareholders, whether or not residents of this state, whose demands remain unsettled parties to the proceeding as in an action against their shares and all parties shall be served with a copy of the petition.

(d) The jurisdiction of the court in which the proceeding is commenced under subsection (b) of this section is plenary and exclusive. The court may appoint one (1) or more persons as appraisers to receive evidence and recommend decision on the question of fair value. The appraisers have the powers described in the order appointing them, or in the amendment to it. The shareholders demanding appraisal rights are entitled to the same discovery rights as parties in other civil proceedings.

(e) Each shareholder made a party to the proceeding is entitled to judgment for:

(i) The amount, if any, by which the court finds the fair value of his shares, plus interest, exceeds the amount paid by the corporation to the shareholder for those shares; or

(ii) The fair value, plus accrued interest, of his after-acquired shares for which the corporation elected to withhold payment under W.S. 17-16-1325.

17-16-1331. Court costs and counsel fees.

(a) The court in an appraisal proceeding commenced under W.S. 17-16-1330 shall determine all costs of the proceeding, including the reasonable compensation and expenses of appraisers appointed by the court. The court shall assess the costs against the corporation, except that the court may assess costs against all or some of the shareholders demanding appraisal, in amounts the court finds equitable, to the extent the court finds the shareholders demanding appraisal rights acted arbitrarily, vexatiously, or not in good faith with respect to the rights provided by this article.

(b) The court in an appraisal proceeding may also assess the fees and expenses of counsel and experts for the respective parties, in amounts the court finds equitable:

(i) Against the corporation and in favor of any or all shareholders demanding appraisal if the court finds the corporation did not substantially comply with the requirements of W.S. 17-16-1320 through 17-16-1326; or

(ii) Against either the corporation or a shareholder demanding appraisal, in favor of any other party, if the court finds that the party against whom the fees and expenses are assessed acted arbitrarily, vexatiously, or not in good faith with respect to the rights provided by this article.

(c) If the court in an appraisal proceeding finds that the services of counsel and any other expenses incurred for any shareholder demanding appraisal were of substantial benefit to other shareholders similarly situated, and that the fees for those services and other expenses should not be assessed against the corporation, the court may direct that those fees and expenses be paid out of the amounts awarded the shareholders who were benefited.

B-8



(d) To the extent the corporation fails to make a required payment pursuant to W.S. 17-16-1324, 17-16-1325 or 17-16-1326, the shareholder may sue directly for the amount owed, and to the extent successful, shall be entitled to recover from the corporation all expenses of the suit.

17-16-1340. Other remedies limited.

(a) The legality of a proposed or completed corporate action described in W.S. 17-16-1302(a) may not be contested, nor may the corporate action be enjoined, set aside or rescinded, in a legal or equitable proceeding by a shareholder after the shareholders have approved the corporate action.

(b) Subsection (a) of this section does not apply to a corporate action that:

(i) Was not authorized and approved in accordance with the applicable provisions of:

(A) Article 9, 10, 11 or 12 of this act;

(B) The articles of incorporation or bylaws; or

(C) The resolution of the board of directors authorizing the corporate action.

(ii) Was procured as a result of fraud, a material misrepresentation or an omission of a material fact necessary to make statements made, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading;

(iii) Reserved;

(iv) Is approved by less than unanimous consent of the voting shareholders pursuant to W.S. 17-16-704 if:
