Introduction to Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

On March 31, 2016, Independence Holding Company (“IHC”) and American Independence Corp. (“AMIC”) sold IHC Risk Solutions LLC (“RS”), its direct writer of excess or stop-loss insurance for self-insured employer groups that desire to manage the risk of large medical claims (“Medical Stop-Loss”) to Swiss Re Corporate Solutions, a division of Swiss Re (“Swiss Re”).  In addition, under the purchase and sale agreement, all of the in-force stop-loss business of Standard Security Life and Independence American produced by RS was co-insured by Westport Insurance Corporation (“Westport”), Swiss Re’s largest US carrier, as of January 1, 2016.  The aggregate purchase price was $152,500,000 in cash, subject to adjustments and settlements.  Approximately 89% of the purchase price was allocated to AMIC, with the balance being paid to Standard Security Life.  IHC’s and AMIC’s block of Medical Stop-Loss business are in run-off. The sale of RS and exit from the medical stop-loss business represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results.  The disposal transaction qualifies for reporting as discontinued operations in the first quarter of 2016 as a result of the Board of Directors’ commitment to a plan for its disposal in January 2016.

Unaudited pro forma financial information for AMIC has been provided below to show what the significant effects on the historical financial information might have been had the Transactions occurred at an earlier date. The unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements however are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or related effects on financial position that would have been attained had the above mentioned Transactions actually occurred earlier. They also may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of operations of the Company. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the unaudited pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, the unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements shown below give the effect of discontinued operations resulting from the sale of RS and the effect of the aforementioned coinsurance transaction on the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements.

Because the sale of RS was not yet reflected as discontinued operations in the Company’s historical financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, we have also provided the unaudited pro forma results of operations for the 2014 and 2013 fiscal years to show the effect of discontinued operations in those years. The sale of RS qualifies for reporting as discontinued operations in the first quarter of 2016 as a result of the Board of Directors commitment to a plan for its disposal in January 2016.

Notes to Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Independence Holding Company (“IHC”) and American Independence Corp. (the “Company”, “AMIC” or “we”, “us” and “our”) entered into an agreement to sell all of the membership interests of IHC Risk Solutions LLC (“RS”) and co-insure to an unaffiliated reinsurer, all of the in-force stop-loss insurance business of Standard Security Life Insurance Company of New York (“SSL”) and Independence American Insurance Company (“IAIC”) produced by RS, as of January 1, 2016 (collectively, the Transactions). The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet has been prepared as if the Transactions had been consummated on December 31, 2015. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2015 has been prepared as if the Transactions occurred as of the beginning of the period; the unaudited pro forma results of operations for the 2014 and 2013 fiscal years have been prepared to show the effect of discontinued operations as if the Transactions occurred as of the beginning of each respective period (see Note 2) in those years.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are based upon available information and certain assumptions considered reasonable by management. The estimated net gain resulting from the consummation of the Transactions is included as an adjustment to retained earnings on the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2015 and is not reflected as an adjustment in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income. In addition, the Company did not include a pro forma adjustment for investment income that could have been potentially earned on the net proceeds of the Transactions in such statements. However, the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income do reflect pro forma adjustments for estimated federal and state income tax provisions, including the use of federal net operating loss carryforwards, which may be subject to further adjustment based on the actual carrying value of net assets sold at the date of closing, among other considerations.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements do not represent what the Company’s financial position would have been assuming the consummation of the Transactions had occurred on December 31, 2015 or what the Company’s consolidated statements of income would have been assuming the consummation of the Transactions had occurred prior to January 1, 2012, nor do they project the Company’s financial position or results of operations at any future date or for any future period. These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Because the sale of RS was not yet reflected as discontinued operations in the Company’s historical financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, we have also provided the unaudited pro forma results of operations for the 2014 and 2013 fiscal years to show the effect of discontinued operations in those years. The sale of RS qualifies for reporting as discontinued operations in the first quarter of 2016 as a result of the Board of Directors of commitment to a plan for its disposal in January 2016.

In January 2016, AMIC’s Board of Directors approved a plan to sell the membership interests of RS and, subsequently, AMIC entered into an agreement for its sale. The sale closed on March 31, 2016. The sale agreement includes: (i) the sale of 100% of the outstanding membership interests of RS for approximately $139.4 million; (ii) the simultaneous cancellation of transfer agreements between RS and certain affiliated entities, Majestic Underwriters, LLC (Majestic) and Alliance Underwriters, LLC (Alliance) for approximately $9.6 million; and (iii) the liquidation of AMIC’s 23% interest in Majestic for approximately $1.6 million. AMIC’s block of Medical Stop-Loss business is in run-off. The sale of RS and exit from the medical stop-loss insurance business represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. The disposal transaction qualifies for reporting as discontinued operations in the first quarter of 2016 as a result of the Board of Directors’ commitment to a plan for its disposal in January 2016.

In connection with the aforementioned Transactions, the Company entered into a coinsurance agreement with an unaffiliated reinsurer, Westport Insurance Corporation (Swiss Re Corporate Solutions' largest US carrier), to co-insure all of the in-force stop-loss insurance business of IAIC produced by RS, as of January 1, 2016, for ceding consideration of approximately $4.4 million.

The ceding of reinsurance does not discharge the primary liability of the original insurer to the insured.

The pro forma adjustments are based on our preliminary estimates and assumptions that are subject to change. The following adjustments have been reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed financial information:
