TIPTREE FINANCIAL INC.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands, except shares and per share data)
March 31, 2014
(Unaudited)


Basis of Presentation
(1) Organization
Tiptree Financial Inc. (Tiptree and, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, collectively, the Company) is a Maryland Corporation that was incorporated on March 19, 2007. Until July 1, 2013, Tiptree operated under the name Care Investment Trust Inc. (which, for the period prior to July 1, 2013, we refer to as Care Inc.). Tiptree is a diversified holding company which conducts its operations through its Operating Company, Tiptree Operating Company, LLC (Operating Company). Tiptree’s primary focus is on four sectors: insurance and insurance services, specialty finance (including corporate, consumer and tax-exempt credit), asset management and real estate. Tiptree’s Class A Common Stock is traded on the NASDAQ capital market under the symbol “TIPT.”
(2) Acquisitions

The following discussion summarizes the acquisition of businesses by Tiptree subsequent to December 31, 2013.
Luxury Mortgage Corp.

Tiptree completed the acquisition of 67.5% of Luxury in January 2014; therefore, Luxury is consolidated within Tiptree’s financial statements beginning with the first quarter of 2014 and reported in Tiptree’s specialty finance segment. Luxury’s operations include the origination, packaging and sale of agency, prime jumbo and super jumbo mortgage loans into the secondary market through whole loan sales. The loans are typically sold shortly after origination into a liquid secondary market.

Management has completed a preliminary assessment of the allocation of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the Luxury acquisition in accordance with ASC 805 Business Combinations. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary pending receipt of information necessary to identify and measure the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. The Company anticipates finalizing the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable.
Accounting Policies

Substantially all loans originated by the Company are held for sale to permanent investors. The Company has elected to record all mortgage loans held for sale at fair value. The fair value of loans held for sale is determined using quoted prices for similar assets (level 2 inputs) and is determined on a loan by loan basis.

Luxury issues interest rate lock commitments (IRLC) to its customers, which are carried at estimated fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The estimated fair values of these commitments are generally calculated by reference to quoted prices in secondary markets for commitments to sell certain government sponsored agencies. The fair values of these commitments generally result in a Level 2 classification.

Luxury’s revenues include interest income earned for the period the loans are on Luxury’s balance sheet, gain on sale income representing the difference between the fair value and the selling price of the related loan sold as well as fee income earned at origination.

(3) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The consolidated financial statements of Tiptree Financial Inc. were compiled in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) using the accounting policies set forth in Note 2 of Notes to Financial Statements included in the 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been made and were all of a normal recurring nature.

AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands, except shares and per share data)
March 31, 2014
(Unaudited)

Management believes there are no recently issued accounting standards not yet implemented that are applicable to the Company as of March 31, 2014.

(4) CLOs and Consolidated Variable Interest Entities
Telos Asset Management LLC (Telos), a subsidiary of the Company acquired in 2012, is a CLO manager of four CLOs; namely Telos CLO 2013-4, Ltd. (Telos 4), Telos CLO 2013-3, Ltd. (Telos 3), Telos CLO 2007‑2, Ltd. (Telos 2) and Telos CLO 2006-1, Ltd. (Telos 1). Prior to the acquisition of Tiptree Asset Management Company, LLC (TAMCO), the Company did not consolidate the then existing CLOs (Telos 1 and Telos 2) as it only held a residual interest which was recorded at fair value. The Company met the requirement to consolidate when it acquired the management rights of the CLOs.
The Company’s percentage ownerships of the subordinated notes of the CLOs as of March 31, 2014 are as follows: 7.11% (Telos 1), 95.45% (Telos 2), 0.00% (Telos 3) and 71.08% (Telos 4).
The term CLO generally refers to a special purpose vehicle that owns a portfolio of investments and issues various tranches of debt and subordinated debt obligations to finance the purchase of those investments. The investment activities of a CLO are governed by extensive investment guidelines, generally contained within a CLO’s “indenture” and other governing documents which limit, among other things, the CLO’s exposure to any single industry or obligor and provide that the CLO’s assets satisfy certain ratings requirements. Most CLOs have a defined investment period during which they are allowed to make investments and reinvest capital as it becomes available.
The assets of each of the CLOs are held solely as collateral to satisfy the obligations of the CLOs. The Company does not own and has no right to the benefits from, nor does it bear the risks associated with, the assets held by the CLOs, beyond its direct investments in, and investment advisory fees generated from, the CLOs. If the Company were to liquidate, the assets of the CLOs would not be available to its general creditors, and as a result, the Company does not consider them assets available for the benefit of its investors. Additionally, the investors in the CLOs have no recourse to the Company’s general assets for the debt issued by the CLOs. Therefore, this debt is not the Company’s obligation. For this reason the difference between the fair value of the assets and liabilities at initial consolidation and subsequent results attributable to the Variable Interest Entities (“VIE”) subordinated noteholders is reflected as appropriated retained earnings.
As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company’s maximum exposure to loss related to the CLOs is limited to its investment in the CLOs of $33,842 and $38,459, respectively, as well as the management fees receivable of $3,122 and $3,616 as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Both the carrying values of the Company’s investment in the CLOs and management fees receivable are eliminated upon consolidation.

(5) Operating segment data
The Company has four reportable operating segments. The Company’s operating segments are organized in a manner that reflects how management views these strategic business units. A description of each of the reportable segments is as follows:
Insurance and Insurance Services operations are conducted by PFG, a majority owned subsidiary of Tiptree. PFG’s operating subsidiaries consist of Philadelphia Financial Life Assurance Company (PFLAC), Philadelphia Financial Life Assurance Company of New York (PFLACNY), Philadelphia Financial Distribution Company (PFDC), PFASC, and Philadelphia Financial Agency, Inc. (PFA). Philadelphia Financial’s principal insurance activity is the structuring, underwriting, marketing and administration of variable life insurance and variable annuity products to the high net worth market. Total separate account assets for policies written by PFG are $4,675,098. PFASC, acquired certain assets and administration rights from The Hartford on July 13, 2012. PFASC administers approximately $37.0 billion in COLI and BOLI policies for The Hartford.

Specialty Finance activities are primarily conducted through the Company’s majority-controlled subsidiaries, MFCA, Luxury and Siena. MFCA is a specialty finance company that owns and manages a portfolio of non-investment grade and non-rated direct and indirect debt obligations of middle-market tax-exempt borrowers. Siena’s business consists of structuring asset-based loan facilities across diversified industries which include manufacturing, distribution, wholesale, and service companies. Luxury is a residential mortgage lender that originates in conforming FHA, prime jumbo and super jumbo mortgages for sale to institutional investors. In addition to MFCA, Luxury and Siena, Tiptree’s other specialty finance investments include principal investment holdings of CLO subordinated notes and a structured corporate loan portfolio.

Asset Management activities are conducted through TAMCO, an SEC-registered investment advisor. TAMCO’s operating subsidiaries include: (1) Telos, an asset management company that specializes in investing in middle market corporate credit through managed accounts and structured investment vehicles, such as CLOs; (2) Muni Capital Management, LLC (MCM) which in addition to managing its own portfolio of tax-exempt securities, manages Non-Profit Preferred Funding Trust I (NPPF I), a structured tax-exempt pass-through entity that holds tax-exempt bonds for the benefit of unaffiliated investors; (3) Tiptree Capital Management, LLC, which provides services to Operating Company; and (4) TREIT, a real estate focused service provider.

Real Estate primarily relates to the activities of Care LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tiptree which has a geographically diverse portfolio of senior housing assets including assisted-living, independent-living and memory care. Care LLC operates the business operated by Care Inc. prior to the Contribution Transactions (and this business as operated by Care Inc. and Care LLC is collectively referred to as Care). (See Note 13—Stockholder’s Equity—Contribution Transactions for further detail) In addition, Tiptree holds a 17% interest in Star Asia Finance, Limited (SAF), a 27.59% interest in Star Asia Opportunity, LLC (SAO) and a 50% interest in Star Asia Opportunity II, LLC (SAO II). The Star Asia entities are all Tokyo based real estate holding companies formed to invest in Asian properties and real estate related debt instruments.

(in thousands, except shares and per share data)
March 31, 2014
(Unaudited)

The tabular information that follows shows components of revenue, expense, and profit or loss, for each of the operating segments for the periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 and total assets as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
Revenue is derived from the main income components of each segment. For Insurance and Insurance Services, the main drivers of revenue are fees on separate account assets, and administration service fees. For Specialty Finance, the main sources of revenue are investment interest and realized and unrealized gains/losses on investment securities. For Asset Management, revenue is derived from management fees based on assets under management and, in some cases, incentive fees based on the profits generated. For Real Estate, revenue includes rental revenue and investment interest.
Intersegment revenues refers to those items of revenue which will be eliminated upon consolidation. Included in revenue, expense, interest revenue, interest expense, segment profit/(loss), and segment assets are items which are eliminated upon consolidation as well as adjustments for discontinued operations, reclassifications, assets of consolidated CLOs and non-controlling interest. These items are classified as corporate eliminations and other in the tables below.
Each reportable segment’s measure of profit (loss) is reported before income taxes and includes discontinued operations and non-controlling interest as this is how management views its segments.

For the period ended March 31, 2014, $370,433 was transferred between Level 2 and Level 3 primarily due to the corporate bonds held by the consolidated CLOs, due to the limited depth of market price supporting the price on these instruments. For the period ended March 31 2013, $5,177 was transferred from Level 2 into Level 3, with the majority from corporate bonds held by the consolidated CLOs also due to limited depth of market price.
ASC Topic 820, as amended by ASU 2011-04, requires disclosure of quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. Disclosure of this information is not required in circumstances where a valuation (unadjusted) is obtained from a third-party pricing service and the information regarding the unobservable inputs is not reasonably available to the Company. As such, the disclosure provided below provides quantitative information only about the significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of certain privately held securities, credit default assets and tax-exempt municipal securities.

(8) Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments as part of its overall investment activities. Investments in derivative contracts are subject to additional risk that can result in a loss of all or part of an investment. The Company’s derivative activities are primarily classified by underlying credit risk and interest. In addition, the Company is also subject to additional counterparty risk should the counterparties fail to meet the contract terms.
Credit Derivatives
Credit derivatives are generally defined as over-the-counter contracts between a buyer and seller of protection against the risk of default on a set of obligations issued by a specified reference entity. The Company is exposed to credit risk when there is an unfavorable change in the value of investments as a result of adverse movements in the underlying credit spreads and enters into these contracts as a buyer of protection so as to minimize the credit risk exposure of its investment portfolio.
Credit Default Swap Indices (CDX) are credit derivatives that reference multiple names through underlying baskets or portfolios of single name credit default swaps. The Company entered into a CDX contract during December 2013, with a notional amount of $20,000. The Company entered into this contract as a buyer of protection so as to minimize the credit risk exposure of its investment portfolio. The Company is required to post cash collateral for this position equal to an initial 7% of the notional amount, subject to increase based on additional maintenance margin as a result of decreases in value. As of March 31, 2014 total margin posted was $2,129 with an associated fair value of $(721).

Credit Default Swaps (CDS) are generally defined as over-the-counter contracts between a buyer and seller of protection against the risk of default on a set of obligations issued by a specified reference entity. The company is exposed to credit risk when there is an unfavorable change in the value of investments as a result of adverse movements in the underlying credit spreads and enters into these contracts as a buyer of protection so as to minimize the credit risk exposure of its investment portfolio. The Company is party to one CDS contract with a notional amount of $3,724 at March 31, 2014, with an associated fair value of $131.
Credit derivatives are included as a component of trading investments, at fair value, if in an asset position, or derivative financial instruments, if in a liability position, on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
Interest Rate Lock Commitments
The Company is exposed to certain risks in connection with its mortgage banking operations at Luxury. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk for certain interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) until a purchaser for the related underlying loans is identified. The fair value of IRLCs is subject to change primarily due to changes in market interest rates. The notional amount of the Company’s IRLCs as of March 31, 2014 was $57,745 with an associated fair value of $514. As of March 31, 2014, the IRCLs were included as a component of trading investments, at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
Interest Rate Swaps
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk when there is an unfavorable change in the value of investments as a result of adverse movements in the market interest rates. The Company enters into interest rate swaps to protect against such adverse movements in the interest rates. The Company is not required to post collateral for these swaps as the underlying collateral for the loan also serves as collateral for the swaps. This is included as a component of derivative financial instruments, at fair value, on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
As of March 31, 2014, the Company had six interest rate swaps associated with Care with a fair value of $(257) and a notional amount of $43,988.

The Company completed a preliminary assessment of the allocation of the fair value of the real estate acquired from Heritage (including land, buildings, and equipment) in accordance with ASC 805 Business Combinations. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary pending the receipt of information necessary to identify and measure the real estate acquired. The Company anticipates finalizing the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable.
(11) Debt
The long term debt of Tiptree’s subsidiaries are discussed below:
Operating Company
On September 18, 2013, Operating Company entered into a Credit Agreement with Fortress Credit Corp. (Fortress) and borrowed $50,000 thereunder, with an associated original issue discount of $1,000, which is being amortized over the term of the agreement. The Credit Agreement allows Operating Company to borrow additional amounts up to a maximum aggregate of $125,000, subject to satisfaction of certain customary conditions. The obligations of Operating Company under the Credit Agreement are secured by liens on substantially all of the assets of Operating Company. The principal of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all loans under the Credit Agreement become immediately due and payable on September 18, 2018. Loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable rate per annum equal to one-month LIBOR (with a minimum LIBOR rate of 1.25%), plus a margin of 6.50% per annum. The weighted average rate paid for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was 7.75%. The principal amounts of the loan is to be repaid in quarterly installments, the amount of which may be adjusted based on the Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) at the end of each fiscal quarter.
As of March 31, 2014, $49,000 in principal was outstanding and was recorded as part of debt on the consolidated balance sheet of the Company. The Company is obligated to pay interest on a monthly basis and has incurred interest expense of $959 for the period ended March 31, 2014. The Company capitalized approximately $1,272 of costs associated with entering into the credit agreement transaction and is amortizing the costs ratably over the life of the facility. The Company recorded approximately $64 of expense for the period ended March 31, 2014 relating to these capitalized costs. Operating Company believes it was in compliance with all of the financial covenants contained in the Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2014.
Also included in debt are any warehouse lines outstanding associated with the Company’s CLOs. As of March 31, 2014 there was $139,150 outstanding for Telos 5.
PFG
On July 13, 2012, Philadelphia Financial Administration Services Company, LLC (PFASC), an entity capitalized by TFP and PFGI, purchased certain assets of Hartford Life Private Placement, LLC (HLPP) from affiliates of The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. (The Hartford) for a purchase price of $117,500. PFASC and certain insurance subsidiaries of The Hartford entered into a long-term servicing agreement whereby PFASC administers approximately $37.0 billion in company owned life insurance (COLI) and bank owned life insurance (BOLI) business previously serviced by HLPP in exchange for a fee. We refer to this transaction as the PFAS Transaction.

In connection with the PFAS Transaction, PFAS issued a note in July 2012 in the amount of $100,000 to a third party. The note bears an annual interest rate of 12.66% and provides for monthly interest and principal payments commencing on August 15, 2012, with final payment due on July 15, 2022. Membership interests of PFLAC, the borrower, serve as collateral for the note.
PFG believes it was in compliance with all of the financial covenants contained in the note as of March 31, 2014.

Care

On April 24, 2012, Care refinanced a bridge loan for the acquisition of the Greenfield properties by entering into three separate non-recourse loans (each a Greenfield Loan and collectively the Greenfield Loans) with KeyCorp Real Estate Capital Markets, Inc. (KeyCorp) for an aggregate amount of approximately $15,680. The Greenfield Loans bear interest at

(Unaudited)

a fixed rate of 4.76%, amortize over a thirty-year period, provide for monthly interest and principal payments commencing on June 1, 2012 and mature on May 1, 2022. The Greenfield Loans are secured by separate cross-collateralized, cross-defaulted first priority deeds of trust on each of the Greenfield properties. The Greenfield Loans are non-recourse to the Company except for certain non-recourse carveouts (customary for transactions of this type), as provided in the related guaranty agreements for each Greenfield Loan. A breach of the representations or covenants could result in a default under each of the Greenfield Loans, which would result in all amounts owing under each of the Greenfield Loans to become immediately due and payable since all of the Greenfield Loans are cross-defaulted. In June 2012, KeyCorp sold each of the Greenfield Loans to Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) under Freddie Mac’s Capital Markets Execution (CME) Program.
In February 2013, with Care’s acquisition of the Calamar Properties, affiliates of Care entered into two separate loans from Liberty Bank. Both of these loans amortize over a thirty year period at a weighted average fixed rate of 4.21%. These loans are secured by separate first priority mortgages on each of the properties. A breach of representations or covenants could result in a default under each of these loans, which would result in all amounts owing under the applicable loan to become immediately due and payable.
In December 2013, affiliates of Care refinanced an internal bridge loan for the Terraces Portfolio, by entering into two separate loans from First Niagara Bank. Both of these loans amortize over a twenty-five year period at a weighted average floating rate of LIBOR + 2.50%. These loans are secured by separate first priority mortgages on each of the properties. A breach of representations or covenants could result in a default under each of these loans, which would result in all amounts owing under applicable loan to become immediately due and payable.
Effective November 2013, in connection with the acquisition of The Heritage Portfolio, the Company entered into two separate loans from First Niagara Bank. Both of these loans amortize over a twenty-five year period at a floating rate of LIBOR + 2.75%. These loans are secured by separate first priority mortgages on each of the properties. A breach of representations or covenants could result in a default under each of these loans, which would result in all amounts owing under applicable loan to become immediately due and payable.
Each of these loan transactions described above contains typical representations and covenants for loans of its type. As of March 31, 2014, Care believes it was in compliance with such financial covenants.
Siena

On July 25, 2013, Siena closed on a line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank. This revolving line is for $65,000 with an interest rate of LIBOR + 250 basis points and a maturity date of January 25, 2017. As of March 31, 2014 there was $6,733 outstanding on this line. This warehouse line of credit contains certain covenants, which Siena believes that it is in compliance with as of March 31, 2014.
Luxury
In February 2014, Luxury entered into a new $30,000 warehouse line of credit agreement. The expiration date of the new line is February 5, 2015, and the line bears interest at 30-day LIBOR plus 2.75% with a 3% floor. A $250 compensating balance is required for the new line. Luxury’s three existing credit agreements contain customary financial covenants that require, among other items, minimum amounts of tangible net worth, profitability, maximum indebtedness ratios, and minimum liquid assets. As of March 31, 2014, Luxury believes it was in compliance or had obtained waivers of compliance with such financial covenants. Luxury’s ability to borrow under the warehouse line of credit agreements is not adversely affected by the waivers. The waivers are valid until June 30, 2014.

date using the effective interest method or a method that approximates the effective interest method. See Note 4 for additional information.
(12) Income Taxes

The total income tax expense of $429 and $1,299 for the periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 respectively, is reflected as a component of net income (loss) from continuing operations.

For the period ended March 31, 2014, the Company’s effective tax rate on income from continuing operations, adjusted for the net loss attributable to the VIE subordinated noteholders, is equal to 24.5%, which does not bear a customary relationship to statutory income tax rates. The tax rate for the period ended March 31, 2014 is lower than the U.S. statutory income tax rate of 35% primarily due to the partnership income not subject to tax partially offset by state income taxes. Prior periods do not have comparable effective tax rates as the Company, as a REIT, was not subject to income taxes.

On September 13, 2013, the Internal Revenue Service issued final Tangible Property Regulations (TPR) under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 162 and IRC Section 263(a), which prescribe the capitalization treatment of certain repair costs, asset betterments and other costs which could affect temporary deferred taxes.  Although the regulations are not effective until tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2014, certain portions may require an accounting method change on a retroactive basis, thus requiring an IRC Section 481(a) adjustment related to fixed and real asset deferred taxes.  Pursuant to U.S. GAAP, as of the date of the issuance, the release of the regulations is treated as a change in tax law.  Therefore, we are required to determine whether there will be an impact on our financial statements as of December 31, 2013.  We have analyzed the expected impact of the new regulations on our financial position at March 31, 2014 and determined that such impact is not significant.  We will continue to monitor any future changes in the TPR prospectively.

(13) Stockholders’ Equity

Tiptree’s authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value, 200,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, $0.001 par value, and 50,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, $0.001 par value. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, no shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 there were 10,610,281 and 10,556,390 shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding, respectively. As of both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were 30,968,877 of Class B common stock issued and outstanding, respectively.

All shares of our Class A common stock have equal rights as to earnings, assets, dividends and voting. Shares of Class B common stock have equal voting rights but no economic rights (including no right to receive dividends or other distributions upon liquidation, dissolution or otherwise). Distributions may be paid to holders of Class A common stock if, as and when duly authorized by our board of directors and declared out of assets legally available therefor.

Contribution Transactions

On July 1, 2013, Care Inc. completed a transaction with Tiptree Financial Partners, L.P. (TFP) in which Care Inc. contributed substantially all of its assets to Operating Company in exchange for common units in Operating Company representing an approximately 25% interest in Operating Company, and TFP contributed substantially all of its assets (excluding shares of Tiptree’s Class A Common Stock owned by TFP) to Operating Company in exchange for common units in Operating Company representing an approximately 75% interest in Operating Company and the same number of shares of Tiptree’s newly classified Class B Common Stock (Contribution Transactions).

The Contribution Transactions were accounted for as a combination of entities under common control. As a result, the comparative financial information has been retrospectively adjusted to furnish comparative combined financial information from August 2010 (the date of common control). The application of this “as-if pooling of interests” required the previously issued consolidated financial statements of Tiptree to be recast to reflect such activity.

On July 1, 2013, immediately prior to closing the Contribution Transactions, Care Inc. filed the Fourth Articles of Amendment and Restatement with the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation in order to, among other things, (i) change its name from “Care Investment Trust Inc.” to “Tiptree Financial Inc.,” (ii) rename its common stock as “Class A common stock,” with no change to the economic or voting rights of such stock, (iii) reclassify 50,000,000 authorized and unissued shares of its common stock as Class B common stock, and (iv) remove certain provisions related to Care Inc.’s qualification as a real estate investment trust (REIT).

As a result of the Contribution Transactions, Tiptree does not qualify to be taxed as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes and became a taxable corporation effective January 1, 2013 due to the nature of the assets and the businesses contributed by TFP. As a REIT, Care Inc. was generally not subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on its taxable income distributed to stockholders. However, even as a REIT, Care Inc. was subject to U.S. federal income and excise taxes in various situations, such as on Care Inc.’s undistributed income. See Note 12 for a discussion of income taxes.

On July 1, 2013, in conjunction with the Contribution Transactions, Operating Company issued warrants to TFP, to purchase an aggregate of 2,098,500 shares of membership units at an exercise price of $8.48 per share which is immediately exercisable and expires on June 12, 2017 and another warrant to purchase 1,510,920 shares of membership units at an exercise price of $5.36 per share which is immediately exercisable and expires on June 30, 2022. TFP paid $4,328 and $6,846, respectively, for these. Since these warrants were issued by Operating Company, they are not included as a component of stockholders’ equity of the Company. TFP also owns a warrant to purchase 652,500 shares of Class A common stock at $11.33 per share which is immediately exercisable and expires on September 30, 2018.

Pursuant to Operating Company’s limited liability operating agreement, at any time after July 1, 2014, TFP will have the right to redeem common units of Operating Company (including any common units issued upon exercise of the warrants

described above) for an equal number of shares of Class A common stock of Tiptree (and an equal number of shares of Class B common stock held by TFP will be canceled). Tiptree may instead, at its election, deliver a cash amount (or combination of cash and Class A common stock) based on the fair market value of the Class A common stock on the redemption date. On May 2, 2012, the Company announced that TFP is allowing its limited partners to direct it to redeem Operating Company Units held by TFP on their behalf. See Note 19—“Subsequent Events.”

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company did not declare or pay a dividend. For the first quarter of 2013, the Company declared a dividend of $0.135 per share of common stock, which was paid in the second quarter of 2013.

Equity Plan (2007 Equity Plan), as amended in    December 2011, which provides for the issuance of equity-based awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, unrestricted stock awards and other awards based upon the Company’s Class A common stock that may be made to directors and executive officers, employees and to the Company’s advisors and consultants who are providing services to the Company as of the date of the grant of the award.

The 2007 Equity Plan will automatically expire on the 10th anniversary of the date it was adopted. The Board of Directors may terminate, amend, modify or suspend the 2007 Equity Plan at any time, subject to stockholder approval in the case of certain amendments as required by law, regulation or stock exchange.

As of December 31, 2013, no common shares remained for future issuance under the 2007 Equity Plan.

The following table summarizes changes to the issuances of Restricted Stock Units under the Company’s 2007 Equity Plan for the periods indicated:

The Board adopted the Tiptree 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (2013 Equity Plan) on August 8, 2013. The plan provides for the issuance of equity and equity-based awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, unrestricted stock awards and other awards based upon the Company’s Class A common stock that may be made to directors and executive officers, employees and to the Company’s advisors and consultants who are providing services to the Company as of the date of the grant of the award. The general purpose of the 2013 Equity Plan is to attract, motivate and retain selected employees, consultants and directors for the Company, to provide them with incentives and rewards for superior performance and to better align their interests with the interests of the Company’s stockholders. As of March 31, 2014, 28,869 shares of immediately vested Class A common stock with an aggregate fair market value of $223 were issued to employees and persons providing services to the Company as incentive compensation under the 2013 Equity Plan.

As of March 31, 2014, there was no restricted stock unit activity associated with the 2013 Equity Plan.
Shares of common stock issued to the Company’s independent directors in respect to their annual retainer fees have been issued under the 2013 Equity Plan. During the period ended March 31, 2014, the Company issued 6,446 immediately vested shares of Class A common stock with an aggregate fair value of $49 to the Company’s independent directors as part of their annual retainer.

In June 2007, the Company adopted the Care Investment Trust Inc. Manager Equity Plan, which will automatically expire on the 10th anniversary of the date it was adopted. As of March 31, 2014, 134,629 common shares remain available for future issuances. No shares have been issued since March 30, 2012 from this plan.
Restricted share units
A holder of the restricted share units, as per the terms of the restricted stock unit agreement governing the awards, have all of the rights of a share holder, including the right to vote and receive distributions. The restricted share units shall vest and become nonforfeitable with respect to one‑third of Tiptree shares granted on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of the date of the grant.
As of March 31, 2014, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted units was $300, which is expected to be recognized as compensation expense over a weighted average period of 1.4 years.
Restricted unit expense was $12 and $6 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These expenses are included within payroll expense in the consolidated statement of operations.
Philadelphia Financial Group, Inc.
On October 14, 2010, the PFG board of directors adopted the PFG Plan. A total of 546,136 shares of common stock of PFG were reserved and available for issuance under the PFG Plan. The number of shares of PFG stock was increased to 583,300 during 2012. As of March 31, 2014, 564,092 shares have been granted to PFG employees.
Under the terms of the PFG Plan, the common stock shares shall vest and become nonforfeitable with respect to one-third of the shares initially granted on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of the grant date. Grant dates were April 16, 2012, December 19, 2012 and March 8, 2013.
The Company has determined that the measurement date for shares granted under the PFG Plan awarded to employees occurs when the PFG common stock vests. The fair value of the unvested common stock granted is initially estimated based on the fair value of the individual assets and liabilities of PFG on the date of grant, and subsequently re-measured on each reporting date throughout the vesting period with changes in fair value during the requisite service period recognized as compensation cost through that period. The per unit fair value of unvested PFG common stock was $1.35 and $2.03 as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

(4)
On September 18, 2013, Operating Company entered into a Credit Agreement with Fortress and borrowed $50,000 under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also includes an option for Operating Company to borrow additional amounts up to a maximum aggregate of $125,000, subject to satisfaction of certain customary conditions. The Company through its subsidiary Luxury has lines of credit with several lenders (See Note 11—Debt).
(5)
Minimum rental obligations for Care, Siena, Luxury and PFG office leases. For the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, rent expense for the Company’s office leases were $570 and $363, respectively.
(6)
On July 25, 2013, TFI’s subsidiary Siena closed on a line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank. This revolving line is for $65,000 with an interest rate of LIBOR + 250 basis points and a maturity date of January 25, 2017. As of March 31, 2014 there was $6,733 outstanding on this line (See Note 11—Debt).
(7)
Tiptree’s subsidiary, Luxury, has interest rate lock commitments to extend credit which are agreements to make mortgage loans to customers, generally having fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses that may require payment of a fee. Since these commitments may expire without being funded in whole or in part the contract amounts are not necessarily indicative of future cash flows.

Tiptree’s subsidiary, Luxury, has commitments to sell mortgage loans, consisting of loans on which Luxury has made interest rate lock commitments, into the secondary market.
(9)
Tiptree’s subsidiary, Siena, issues standby letters of credit to customers which generally guarantee the borrower’s performance.
Litigation
Tiptree and its subsidiaries are parties to legal proceedings in the ordinary course of their business. Although Tiptree’s legal and financial liability with respect to such proceedings cannot be estimated with certainty, Tiptree does not believe that these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, are likely to have a material adverse effect on Tiptree’s financial position or results of operations.
(16) Earnings Per Share
The Company calculates basic net income per common share based on the Company’s common stock outstanding as well as its unvested restricted share units. The unvested restricted share units are included because they are eligible to receive dividends. Diluted net income for the period takes into account the effect of dilutive instruments, such as any options on common shares, but uses the average share price for the period in determining the number of incremental shares that are to be added to the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income also includes the minimal dilutive impact of the 3,609,420 Operating Company warrants held by TFP as part of the Contribution Transactions as summarized in Note 13. Earnings per share data excludes Tiptree’s Class B common stock, as the Class B common stock evidences a voting right without any economic interest.
The following table presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted net income per common share for the periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:

On June 28, 2013, Care completed the sale of its membership interests in Care YBE Subsidiary LLC (Care YBE), which owns fourteen senior living facilities (Bickford Portfolio) to an affiliate of National Health Investors Inc. The Company has reclassified the income and expenses attributable to all properties sold prior to March 31, 2014 to discontinued operations related to its real estate segment. Expenses include an allocation of interest expense based on property

(19) Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated events that have occurred from March 31, 2014 through May 14, 2014 (the date this Form 10-Q was filed), and except as already included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, it believes that no events have occurred that would require recognition or additional disclosures in these audited consolidated financial statements.

On May 1, 2014, Telos 5, Ltd closed. As of March 31, 2014, $192,940 was carried as investments in loans at fair
value and there was $139,150 in debt on TFI’s consolidated balance sheet.

On May 2, 2014, Tiptree announced that on the terms and conditions set forth in a Redemption Election Notice sent to limited partners of TFP on May 2, 2014, TFP is allowing limited partners of TFP to direct TFP to redeem membership units of Operating Company held by TFP, to occur simultaneously with the redemption by the limited partner of partnership units that indirectly represent the beneficial ownership of the number of shares of Class A common stock to be redeemed upon the redemption by TFP of membership units. The redemption rate is one partnership unit for each 2.798 shares of Class A common stock to be received; provided that, at Tiptree's election, it may instead pay a cash amount (or combination of cash and Class A common stock) equal to the average of the daily closing prices of the Class A common stock for the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding the redemption date. If all of the limited partners of TFP were to elect to redeem their partnership units for Class A common stock, an additional 30,968,877 shares of Tiptree’s Class A common stock would be issuable (excluding 3,609,420 shares of Class A common stock issuable upon redemption of Operating Company units issuable upon exercise of warrants).

OVERVIEW
Tiptree is a diversified holding company engaged through its consolidated subsidiaries in a number of businesses and is an active acquirer of new businesses. Tiptree, whose operations date back to 2007, currently has subsidiaries that operate in four industry segments: insurance and insurance services, specialty finance, asset management and real estate.
We operate our business through Operating Company, which directly or indirectly owns all of our assets. Operating Company is owned 25% by Tiptree Financial Inc. and 75% by Tiptree Financial Partners, L.P. This report is being filed by Tiptree Financial Inc. but includes information relating to Operating Company that may be of interest to partners of Tiptree Financial Partners, L.P. Beginning on July 1, 2014, partnership units of Tiptree Financial Partners, L.P. are redeemable for Class A common stock of Tiptree Financial Inc. On May 2, 2012, the Company announced that TFP is allowing its limited partners to direct it to redeem Operating Company units held by TFP on their behalf. For more information on our ownership and structure see “— Structure” and Notes 1 and 13 within the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Our insurance operations are conducted through PFG, of which we own 93.71%, with the remainder owned by management and employees of PFG. PFG, through its insurance subsidiaries, develops and administers private placement insurance and annuities for high net worth and institutional clients. As of March 31, 2014, the total separate account assets for policies written by PFG were $4.7 billion. PFG, through its PFAS subsidiary, administered $37 billion of company-owned and bank-owned life insurance policies for other insurers.

Our specialty finance operations include (i) MFCA, a wholly-owned business which provides financing for tax-exempt organizations, (ii) a 62% ownership interest in Siena, a recently formed asset-based lender that offers asset-based loans to small and mid-sized U.S. businesses and (iii) a debt interest and a 67.5% ownership interest in Luxury, a residential mortgage lender that originates conforming prime jumbo and super jumbo mortgages for sale to institutional investors. As of March 31, 2014, MFCA had investments of $27.2 million and Siena has funded loans of $17.9 million of aggregate principal amount outstanding.

Our asset management operations include TAMCO, an SEC-registered investment adviser that, among other managerial and advisory entities, wholly-owns Telos Asset Management LLC (“Telos”), an asset manager focused on investing in corporate credit through managed accounts and structured investment vehicles, such as CLOs. As of March 31, 2014, Telos had approximately $1.5 billion of AUM. Our asset management operations also include MCM which manages NPPF I, a structured

44



tax-exempt pass-through entity that holds tax-exempt bonds for the benefit of its investors. Interests in NPPF I in the form of tranched trust certificates are held solely by third parties unaffiliated with Tiptree. As of March 31, 2014, the underlying tax-exempt bonds held by NPPF I had an aggregate principal balance of $212.2 million.

Our real estate operations include (i) Care LLC, a wholly-owned real estate investment company that invests in senior housing properties, and (ii) interests in various Star Asia Entities, Tokyo based real estate holding companies formed to invest predominately in Asian properties and real estate related debt instruments. As of March 31, 2014, Care LLC had total assets of $141.6 million and the carrying value of our investment in the Star Asia entities was $12.3 million.

Tiptree intends to continue to invest in its existing businesses and to opportunistically acquire majority control of new businesses, both in existing financial service sectors and complementary sectors; make seed investments in funds or products managed by TAMCO; and make minority debt or equity investments similar to those investments that Tiptree has made in the past. Accordingly, changes in the mix of Tiptree’s businesses, assets and investments should be expected. Management intends to take a disciplined approach by focusing on investing for the long-term in stable, cash flow positive businesses.

For additional information about our operating segments, see Note 5 to the financial statements.

Strategy
Tiptree’s primary strategy is to acquire controlling interests in a diversified group of businesses as described above. We look for companies that offer sustainable, long-term and stable financial performance. We may also make investments that are not controlling acquisitions, and or invest in debt instruments, and have done so in the past.

Our structure allows us to focus on being long term investors in our companies as some of our companies may require operational turnaround to build shareholder value. We provide managerial assistance to our companies as needed, which at times has included developing growth strategies and providing strategic advice regarding complementary acquisitions and new business initiatives, as well as providing incremental capital.

As part of our strategy, we may also seed new opportunities, which may include new product launches by our existing companies, new asset management products and new businesses to take advantage of market disruptions. Accordingly, over time our mix of businesses may change as a result of new initiatives and new investments.

Recent Developments

The following highlights certain developments during the quarter.

Completed the acquisition of Luxury Mortgage Corp. on January 31, 2014

Closed Telos CLO 2014-5 on May 1, 2014

Trends in Our Business and Outlook
Our results of operations are affected by a variety of factors, including general economic conditions and the resulting trends and market conditions specific to our businesses, some of which are discussed below.

A significant portion of Tiptree’s 2013 and first quarter of 2014 revenues were generated from administrative fees from our servicing of PFG’s COLI/BOLI policies. We expect the amount of administrative fees to remain relatively constant in 2014 unless significant policy holders terminate policies, in which case our revenues could decline.

After several quiet years in the CLO market, there has been increased issuance of CLOs in 2013 and during the first quarter of 2014, which led to new entrants and greater supply. We issued two new CLOs in 2013 and initiated a warehouse facility for a third CLO. On May 1, 2014, the warehouse facility closed and Telos CLO 2014-5 was issued. Depending on market conditions, we may seek to initiate a new warehouse facility in 2014. However, uncertainties regarding regulatory guidance in the banking sector resulted in some institutional investors curtailing purchases of CLO liabilities which has had a negative effect on CLO issuances. Credit spreads on AAA tranches have widened and, if not offset by contracting spreads on other liability tranches,

45



could lead to lower returns on the subordinated notes on new CLOs. Accordingly we will continue to sponsor the same volume of CLOs in 2014 as we did in 2013.

The assets of our tax-exempt business, which consist primarily of fixed coupon instruments with long durations, are highly sensitive to changes in interest rates. The large decline in interest rates throughout 2012 significantly increased the market value of the tax-exempt assets. Throughout 2013, interest rates experienced further volatility; however ,the overall impact on the value of the tax-exempt assets for the year was relatively modest. The value of the assets have increased in the first quarter of 2014, but it is unclear whether this trend will continue.

Our asset based lending business was acquired in 2013 and continues to build its loan portfolio. This business was a negative contributor to net income in 2013, but we expect to reverse this trend as we achieve profitable scale in 2014, although we can make no assurance that this will be the case.

The mortgage market in which we operate is sensitive to interest rates and expected changes in interest rates. In the late summer and fall of 2013, the volume of mortgages dropped sharply because of changes in interest rates. In addition, it is unclear what impact new mortgage rules on qualifying mortgages may have on volume and profitability in 2014.

Our expenses increased in the first quarter of 2014 relative to the first quarter of 2013, primarily from additional expense associated with our acquisitions throughout 2013. Payroll expense and operating expenses increased with the acquisitions at Care LLC, Luxury and Siena. In addition, interest expense increased due to our credit and warehouse facilities. At PFG, the increase was primarily due to increased professional fees and other operating expenses. Management anticipates expenses to increase as these businesses continue to expand.

As a result of the $50 million borrowed under the credit agreement with Fortress and the $44 million of proceeds from the sale of the Bickford Portfolio in our real estate segment during 2013 (as described in Note 17—Dispositions, Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations), we maintained a relatively larger cash balance. In 2014, we intend to deploy a significant amount of our cash balance to purchase assets, sponsor CLOs, support our existing business and to make new investments. To the extent we are unable to find suitable opportunities to deploy cash effectively, we could experience lower returns than we would expect from the deployment of cash into higher returning assets.

Tiptree Selected Consolidated Financial Data

The results presented in the table below are the consolidated results of Tiptree, which include its majority-owned subsidiaries, PFG, Care, MFCA, Siena, Luxury and TAMCO, as well as principal investments. Since acquisitions and dispositions occurred during the periods discussed below, it may be difficult to compare Tiptree’s results of operations from period to period as a result of purchase accounting adjustments, which only reflect the financial results of a new business from the point of acquisition forward, and dispositions, which are reflected in discontinued operations.

The Contribution Transactions were accounted for as a combination of entities under common control. As a result, the comparative financial information has been retrospectively adjusted to furnish comparative combined financial information from August 2010 (the date of common control). The application of this “as-if-pooling of interests” required the previously issued consolidated financial statements of Tiptree to be recast to reflect such activity.

The acquisition of TAMCO was accounted for as a combination of entities under common control and, as a result, the consolidated results of operations for all periods presented have been retrospectively adjusted to furnish comparative combined financial information as if TAMCO was part of the consolidated group as of January 1, 2010. The application of this “as-if-pooling of interests” required the previously issued consolidated financial statements of Tiptree to be recast to reflect such activity.

GAAP requires the consolidation of a VIE into the financial statements of the entity that is considered the VIE’s primary beneficiary. Generally, TAMCO’s contractual relationship as CLO collateral manager satisfy the criteria for TAMCO to be deemed the primary beneficiary of the CLOs that it manages. As a result, Tiptree is required to consolidate the CLOs into its financial statements. For economic purposes, as of March 31, 2014 the fair value of Tiptree’s direct investments in the subordinated notes of Telos 1, Telos 2 and Telos 4 was $54.9 million. For further detail on non-GAAP measures, see “Economic Net Income and Economic Book Value” within this section.

46



Income and expenses attributable to consolidated CLOs reflect all of the components of the CLOs: the interest income, interest expense, other related expenses, and most significantly, the mark-to-market of the underlying collateral assets. The unrealized gains and losses of the collateral assets are most affected by credit risk on the individual loans held by the CLOs. If, as a result of movement in the credit market, new loans are made at credit spreads wider than those held by the CLOs, the market value of loans held by the CLOs would decrease and could result in realized and unrealized losses. Since, under GAAP, we do not value the debt issued by the CLOs at market value, we would not recognize an offsetting decrease in the liabilities from such a change in credit spreads, which could make the reported realized and unrealized gains and losses appear larger or smaller than the economic impact on our results of operations. For economic purposes, we reverse the impact of the CLO consolidation and focus on the mark-to-market value of our underlying subordinated note positions. See “— Economic Net Income and Economic Book Value.”

Statements of Operations Information - Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013
Total revenue
Total revenue for the period ended March 31, 2014 was $30.3 million, compared to $22.1 million for the same period in 2013, an increase of $8.2 million, or 37.2%. This increase was largely due to increases in rental revenue of $3.6 million from newly acquired Care properties, interest income of $2.3 million primarily from warehouse loans, net realized and unrealized gains on investments of $0.2 million primarily from our tax exempt business and the gain on sale of loans held for sale, net of $1.0 million.

Net realized and unrealized gains and losses
Realized and unrealized gains increased by $0.2 million, or 25.1%, for the period ended March 31, 2014 over 2013 levels. The increase from 2013 to 2014 was largely driven by the assets of our tax-exempt business. These assets consist of fixed coupon instruments with long durations are highly sensitive to changes in interest rates. The decline in interest rates compared to the 2013 period, resulted in $0.8 million of unrealized gains in 2014. Interest rates remained relatively flat in 2013; therefore the tax exempt portfolio remained relatively flat in the three months ended March 31, 2013 with $0.1 million of unrealized gains. This increase was offset, in part, by declines in unrealized gains relating to Tiptree’s interest rate swap positions relating to real estate operations and its U.S. Treasury short position of $0.5 million.
Interest income
Interest income on loan and security portfolios increased $2.3 million, or 77.2%, for the period ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to $1.6 million of interest income from loans held by warehouse facilities in 2014 in connection with the formation of new CLOs. In addition, additional interest income of $0.4 million from newly acquired real estate operations, interest income of $0.6 million was recorded for Siena and Luxury, respectively, in 2014. We did not own these businesses in the three month period ended March 31, 2013.

Separate account fees

Separate account fees increased $0.2 million, or 3.4%, for the period ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase was the result of higher average assets under management during 2014, which generated higher fees. Separate account assets were $4.7 billion at March 31, 2014 compared to $4.3 billion at March 31, 2013.

Administrative service fees


48



Administrative service fees increased $0.4 million, or 3.5%, for the period ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase was due to higher growth in assets under administration.

Gain on sale of loans held for sale, net
Gain on sale of loans held for sale, net for the period ended March 31, 2014 was $1.0 million compared to none in the prior period. This gain relates to the sale of loans within Luxury, which was acquired in the first quarter of 2014.
Other income
Other income increased $0.5 million, or 234.4%, from $0.2 million as of March 31, 2013 to $0.7 million as of March 31, 2014. This increase was largely attributable to income at Siena. Siena was acquired in the beginning of the second quarter of 2013 and was not included in the prior year comparative period.
Rental revenue
Rental revenues for the period ended March 31, 2014 from Care LLC were $4.4 million, an increase over the comparable period in 2013 due to Care LLC’s acquisition of additional properties that were not owned in the prior period.
Total expenses
Total expenses for the period ended March 31, 2014 were $30.1 million compared to $22.5 million for the same period in 2013, an increase of $7.6 million, or 33.5%. The primary drivers of this increase were $2.1 million of increased interest expense largely due to Tiptree’s new credit facility, a $1.9 million increase in payroll expenses from property acquisitions at Care and the acquisitions of Siena and Luxury during 2013, a $0.6 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense, and a $2.7 million increase in other expenses largely due to the acquisitions of Siena and Luxury during 2013.
Interest expense
The $2.1 million increase in interest expense for the period ended March 31, 2014 over the same period in 2013, was a result of $0.6 million related to borrowings associated with newly acquired real estate operations and $1.6 million related to Tiptree’s credit facility. Tiptree closed its credit facility during the third quarter of 2013 and as a result did not incur this expense in the prior year corresponding period.
Payroll expense
The $1.9 million increase in payroll expense for the period ended March 31, 2014 over the same period in 2013 consists of a $1.2 million increase relating to Siena and Luxury, and a $1.4 million increase relating to Care. The increase in payroll expense at Care is primarily due to consolidation of the operations of Heritage and Calamar in the period ended March 31, 2014. These properties were acquired later in the year in 2013 were not included in the results for the three months ended March 31, 2013. These increases were offset, in part, due to a net declines in expenses at other subsidiaries of approximately $0.6 million.
Depreciation and amortization expense
The $0.6 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense for the period ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 relates to an increase in depreciation expense largely as a result of the new properties acquired by Care in 2013 and depreciation expense relating to the Siena and Luxury acquisitions.
Other expenses
The $2.7 million increase in other expenses for the period ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 largely consists of expenses relating to approximately $1.1 million of higher professional fees and other general expenses at PFG as well as $0.9 million of expenses relating to Siena and Luxury.
Income attributable to consolidated CLOs
Income attributable to consolidated CLOs was $12.0 million in 2014 compared to $16.6 million in 2013, a decrease of $4.6 million, or 27.6%. This decrease resulted from an increase in realized losses of $6.3 million, and a decline in unrealized gains

49



of $2.9 million, partially offset by an increase of $4.6 million in interest income attributable to the addition of Telos 4. The increase in realized losses in the consolidated CLOs is primarily related to Telos 1 and Telos 2 which are beyond their reinvestment period. Telos 1 and Telos 2 have entered their pay down period in which tranches of debt issued by the CLO are repaid in accordance with the CLOs priority of payments. As the debt tranches which are currently booked at discounted carrying value are paid down at par, a realized loss is recorded by the CLO.
Expenses attributable to the consolidated CLOs
The $4.2 million increase in expenses attributable to the consolidated CLOs consists of interest payments made by Telos 4 in 2014.
Provision for income taxes

The provision for income taxes decreased $0.9 million for the period ended March 31, 2014 from an income tax expense of $1.3 million in the prior period to an income tax expense of $0.4 million in the current period. The effective tax rate on income before taxes from continuing operations, adjusted for the net loss attributable to VIE subordinated noteholders, for the period ended March 31, 2014 was approximately 24.5%. The tax rate for the period ended March 31, 2014 is lower than the U.S. statutory income tax rate of 35% primarily due to partnership income not subject to tax partially offset by state income taxes. 

Discontinued operations, net

Discontinued operations, net, decreased $0.8 million, or 100%, for the period ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. This is comprised of the income related to the Bickford Portfolio in 2013. For more detail on the Bickford Portfolio sale see Note 17—Dispositions, Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations within the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest represents the portion of net income generated by consolidated entities that are not attributable to Tiptree’s ownership interest in those entities.
Net (loss) income attributable to VIE subordinated noteholders
Since Tiptree consolidates the VIEs, all of the net income and expense of the VIEs is included in its consolidated results, even though Tiptree only benefits from the net income and incurs the net loss of the portion of the VIEs owned by it. Net (loss) income attributable to the VIE subordinated noteholders represents net (loss) income not attributable to Tiptree’s ownership interest in the VIEs. Therefore, higher net losses attributable to VIE subordinated noteholders increases net income available to Tiptree Class A stockholders. Conversely, higher income attributable to VIE subordinated noteholders decreases net income available to Tiptree Class A stockholders. The net loss attributable to the VIE subordinated noteholders for the period ended March 31, 2014 was $3.5 million, compared to net income of $0.4 million for the same period in 2013, a decrease of $3.9 million. The decrease was primarily due to losses of $3.5 million and $0.3 million in Telos 1 and Telos 2, respectively, partially offset by combined gains in Telos 3 and Telos 4 of $0.2 million.
Net income available to Class A common stockholders
Net income available to Class A common stockholders for the period ended March 31, 2014 was $1.0 million compared to net income of $1.3 million for the same period in 2013, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 22%. This decrease was largely due to the $8.7 million decrease attributable to the net impact of the consolidated CLOs on the net income available to Class A common stockholders. This decline, combined with a $3.8 million decline in net income attributable to noncontrolling interest, a $3.9 million decline in the net loss attributable to VIE subordinated noteholders and a $0.9 million decline in the provision for income taxes, each of which have had a beneficial affect to income available to Class A common stockholders, largely resulted in the overall $0.3 million decline for the quarter.

50



Balance Sheet Information - March 31, 2014 compared to December 31, 2013
Tiptree’s total assets increased $75.1 million, or 1.1%, at March 31, 2014 compared to year end December 31, 2013. This increase was driven primarily by an increase in separate account assets of $50.0 million at PFG, as well as an increase of $27.8 million in investments in loans at fair value due to the Telos 5 warehouse and a $15.8 million increase in mortgages held for resale at fair value due to Tiptree’s acquisition of Luxury. These increases were offset in part by declines of $24.0 million in the assets of the consolidated CLOS as Telos 1 and Telos 2 have been paying off debt by reducing their asset holdings.
Total liabilities increased $75.4 million over the prior year end largely due to an increase in separate account liabilities at PFG of $50 million, an increase in the notes payable relating to the Telos 5 warehouse facility of $5.4 million and a $14.9 million increase in notes payable relating to Luxury. Total stockholders’ equity of Tiptree as of March 31, 2014 increased to $121.7 million from $119.9 million largely as a result of increases in additional paid-in capital, accumulated other comprehensive income and retained earnings.

Segment Reporting
Tiptree has four reportable operating segments: insurance and insurance services, specialty finance, asset management and real estate (see Note 5 of the consolidated financial statements for a more detailed description of our segments). Tiptree’s operating segments are organized in a manner that reflects how management views its operations.
Intersegment revenues refers to those items of revenue which will be eliminated upon consolidation. Included in revenue, expense, interest revenue, interest expense, segment profit/(loss), and segment assets are items which are eliminated upon consolidation as well as adjustments for discontinued operations, reclassifications, assets of consolidated CLOs and non-controlling interest. These items are classified as “corporate eliminations and other” in the tables below.
The material components of “corporate eliminations and other” are as follows: (i) for total revenue, rental revenue from discontinued operations as well as Tiptree’s portion of interest income from the consolidated CLOs, (ii) for total expense, interest expense and depreciation/amortization expense associated with discontinued operations, and (iii) for total assets, the assets of the consolidated CLOs.
Each reportable segment’s measure of profit (loss) is reported before income taxes and includes discontinued operations and non-controlling interest, as this is how management views its segments.

Segment Results - Period ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013
Insurance and Insurance Services Operations
Total revenues for insurance operations were $19.0 million for period ended 2014, compared to $18.5 million for the same period in 2013, representing an increase of $0.5 million, or 3%. The primary driver of the increase was increased fee income from separate account fees and administrative service fees.
Total expenses for insurance operations for both the periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were $16.7 million. There were no material fluctuations for any categories within total expense.
Total operating profit for insurance operations for 2014 was $2.4 million, compared to $1.8 million for 2013, an increase of $0.6 million, or 32%. This increase was primarily the result of increased fee income on administrative service fees.

53



Specialty Finance Operations
Total revenues for specialty finance operations for the period ended March 31, 2014 were $9.9 million, compared to $5.7 million for 2013, an increase of $4.2 million, or 74%. The increase was attributable to an increase in unrealized gains of $0.4 million due to increases in market values in 2014, as well as gains on the sale of loans from Luxury of $1.0 million. Also contributing to the increase was an increase in interest income of $2.3 million due to the revenue from the additional positions, related to the warehouse facilities. In 2013, this was related to the Telos 3 and Telos 4 warehouse facilities. In 2014, this related to the Telos 5 warehouse facility.
Total expenses for specialty finance operations for the period ended March 31, 2014 were $5.9 million, compared to $1.9 million for 2013, an increase of $4.0 million, or 211%. The increase was primarily the result of increases in interest expense of $1.7 million, payroll expense of $1.2 million, and other expense of $1.2 million due to the the inclusion of Siena and Luxury in results for 2014.
Total operating profit for specialty finance operations for the period ended March 31, 2014 was $3.9 million, compared to $3.8 million for 2013, an increase of $0.1 million, or 3%. This increase was driven primarily by the increase in interest income from the additional CLO warehouse facility positions, offset by the inclusion of the expenses of Siena and Luxury in the Company’s 2014 results.
Asset Management Operations
Total revenues for asset management were $3.5 million for the period ended March 31, 2014, a decrease of $0.4 million or 10% compared to $3.9 million for 2013. The decrease in revenue in 2014 was primarily attributable to lower management fees received from Telos 1 and Telos 2, offset in part by the addition of Telos 3 and Telos 4 and the associated management fees in 2014.
Total expenses for asset management were $2.9 million for the period ended March 31, 2014 compared to $3.6 million for 2013. This decrease of $0.7 million was primarily attributable to lower compensation related costs in 2014.
Total operating profit for asset management was $0.6 million for the period ended March 31, 2014 compared to $0.3 million in 2013, an increase of $0.3 million or 100%. The primary driver of this increase was lower compensation-related costs in 2014.
Real Estate Operations
Total revenues for real estate operations for the period ended March 31, 2014 were $5.4 million, compared to $4.6 million for 2013, an increase of $0.8 million, or 17%. This increase was primarily due to increased rental income from the acquisition properties not owned in the prior period.
Total expenses for real estate operations for the period ended March 31, 2014 were $5.0 million, compared to $4.8 million for 2013. This increase was primarily due to payroll expense associated with the consolidation of properties acquired since the prior period.
Total operating profit for real estate operations for 2014 was $0.4 million, compared to a loss of $0.1 million in 2013, an increase of $0.5 million. The primary driver of this increase was the additional properties acquired since the prior period.

Economic Net Income (“ENI”) is a non-GAAP financial measure of profitability which Tiptree uses to measure the performance of its core business. Management believes that ENI reflects the nature and substance of the economic results of Tiptree’s businesses. Management also uses ENI as a measurement for determining incentive compensation. ENI as used by Tiptree may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies as it is a non-GAAP financial measure that is not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and therefore may be defined differently by other companies. ENI should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP.

The purchase of TAMCO on June 30, 2012 was accounted for as a combination of entities under common control. As a result, the assets and liabilities of TAMCO were presented as if TAMCO had been consolidated by Tiptree on January 1, 2010. For non-controlling interest, we reversed the effect of this recasting of financial information for prior periods.

Economic Book Value
Economic Book Value (“EBV”) is a non-GAAP financial measure which Tiptree uses to evaluate the performance of its core business. Management believes that EBV provides greater transparency and enhanced visibility into the underlying profitability drivers of our business and provides a useful, alternative view of the economic results of Tiptree’s businesses. EBV includes the following adjustments: (i) reversal of GAAP value for TAMCO and CLO VIEs and replacement with fair value, (ii) addition of life to date AFFO adjustments for real estate operations, (iii) reclassification of convertible preferred distributions to expense and (iv) foreign exchange timing adjustment.
EBV as used by Tiptree may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies as it is a non-GAAP financial measure that is not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and therefore may be defined differently by other companies. EBV should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The following is a reconciliation of GAAP book value attributable to Tiptree to EBV as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in thousands except share data):

Under GAAP, Tiptree is required to consolidate all of the assets and liabilities of the VIEs managed by TAMCO on Tiptree’s balance sheet regardless of Tiptree’s economic interest. See Note 2(c) to the consolidated financial statements included in the 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Adjustment is reversal of consolidation of TAMCO and VIEs.

(5)
Assumes full redemption of Operating Company units for Class A common stock. Operating Company is owned approximately 25% by Tiptree and approximately 75% by TFP. Tiptree’s ownership is equal to the number of shares of Class A common stock and pursuant to Operating Company’s limited liability agreement this ratio will remain 1:1. TFP’s ownership is equal to 2.798 times the number of TFP partnership units outstanding and this ratio is expected to remain 2.798:1. There were 11,068 and 11,068 partnership units outstanding as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The basic EBV per partnership unit was $29.74 and $29.16 as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Tiptree is a holding company and conducts all of its operations through Operating Company. Dividends and distributions from its subsidiaries to Operating Company and investments are the principal source of cash to make acquisitions, invest in existing businesses, pay employee compensation, dividends, professional fees (including advisory services, legal and accounting fees), office rent, insurance costs, and certain support services (including under the Transition Services Agreement and Administrative Services Agreement). Tiptree’s current source of liquidity is its cash, cash equivalents and investments and distributions from operating subsidiaries and principal investments, including subordinated notes of CLOs managed by Telos. At March 31, 2014, Tiptree had unrestricted cash of $124.8 million. As a result of the $50.0 million borrowed under the credit agreement with Fortress and the $44.0 million of proceeds from the sale of the Bickford Portfolio in our real estate segment during 2013, we

58



are maintaining a relatively larger cash balance. In 2014, we intend to deploy a significant amount of our cash balance to purchase assets, sponsor CLOs, support our existing business and invest in new products. Tiptree intends to opportunistically acquire majority control of new businesses both in its existing financial services sectors and complementary sectors. Accordingly, Tiptree’s cash needs will differ over time from Tiptree’s historical cash needs and Tiptree may seek additional sources of cash to fund acquisitions or investments. These additional sources of cash may take the form of debt or equity and may be at the parent, subsidiary or asset level.
The ability of Tiptree’s subsidiaries to generate sufficient net income and cash flows to make cash distributions to us will be subject to numerous business and other factors, including restrictions contained in our subsidiaries’ financing agreements, regulatory restrictions, availability of sufficient funds at such subsidiaries, general economic and business conditions, tax considerations, strategic plans, financial results and other factors such as target capital ratios and ratio levels anticipated by rating agencies to maintain or improve current ratings. For example, Telos will require additional capital in order to form future CLOs, and PFG may require additional capital to meet regulatory capital requirements.

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities for the period ended March 31, 2014 was $44.1 million, compared to $10.9 million for the comparable period in 2013, an increase of $33.2 million. Cash provided by operating activities from VIEs for the period ended March 31, 2014 was $35.2 million, a change of $33.9 million from cash provided of $1.3 million for the period ended March 31, 2013. Excluding the activity attributable to the VIEs, cash provided by operating activities declined $0.7 million. The decrease was largely attributable to the increase in other liabilities and accrued expenses of $14.2 million, offset by the $8.1 million decline in net income, and a $5.4 million decline in the change in policy liabilities. Other contributors to the decline were the $0.2 million change in combined unrealized appreciation in investments and a gain on partially owned entities. The $14.2 million increase in other liabilities and accrued expenses largely related to activity associated with the Telos 5 warehouse, as activity increased during the period and commitments were put in place to purchase assets. The $5.4 million decline in policy liabilities reflects movements in policy loan balances at PFG.

Investing Activities
Cash provided by investing activities for the period ended March 31, 2014 was $1.0 million, compared to cash used of $381.6 million for the comparable period in 2013, an increase of $382.6 million. Cash provided by investing activities from VIEs was $15.4 million for the period ended March 31, 2014, an increase of $362.6 million from cash used of $347.2 million for the period ended March 31, 2013. This change was primarily related to the formation of Telos 3 and Telos 4 in 2013. Excluding the activity attributable to the VIEs, cash used in investing activities decreased $20.1 million. This decrease was largely attributable to the decrease in purchases of subsidiaries of $9.3 million, a $14.6 million increase in the proceeds from sales of trading securities, a $14.6 million decrease in the purchase of loans, a $5.6 million increase in the proceeds of mortgages held for sale and a decrease of $5.3 million in the change in policy loans balances. These amounts were offset by the increase of $30.1 million for purchases of trading and available for sale securities and a $9.6 million increase in restricted cash balances. In addition, there was a $9.3

59



million increase in acquisitions, net cash, largely related to the acquisition of Luxury in 2014. The $27.7 million increase in the purchase of trading securities and loans, $9.1 million increase in restricted cash and approximately $4.6 million of the increase in proceeds from trading securities related to warehouse facility activity during the year. In addition, $4.8 million of the increase in proceeds from trading securities related to activity at MFCA. The $14.6 million decrease in purchases of loans related to activity at Siena in 2014 compared to 2013 activity relating to Care. The $5.3 million decrease in policy loans relates to activity at PFG. The $5.6 million increase in the proceeds of mortgages held for sale relates to activity at Luxury.
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities for the period ended March 31, 2014 was $40.9 million, compared to $343.5 million in cash provided for the comparable period in 2013, a decrease of $384.4 million. Cash used in financing activities for VIEs was $40.1 million for the period ended March 31, 2014 and cash provided by financing activities for VIEs was $345.9 million for the comparable period in 2013. Excluding the activity attributable to VIEs, cash used in financing activities decreased $1.7 million. The $1.7 million decrease was not a significant movement, but was largely the result of the varying nature of financing activities when comparing March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013. In 2014, the Company borrowed $6.6 million and paid down debt of $7.2 million relating to the warehouse facilities. Approximately $5.4 million of the borrowings related to the warehouse facilities and the remainder related to borrowings at Siena, net of payments related to Tiptree’s credit facility. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, PFG paid down the $1.3 million in debt.
Indebtedness
On September 18, 2013, Operating Company entered into a Credit Agreement with Fortress and borrowed $50.0 million under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also includes an option for Operating Company to borrow additional amounts up to a maximum aggregate of $125.0 million, subject to satisfaction of certain customary conditions. The principal of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all loans under the Credit Agreement shall become immediately due and payable on September 18, 2018. Loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable rate per annum equal to the one-month London interbank offering rate (LIBOR), with a minimum LIBOR rate of 1.25%, plus a margin of 6.50% per annum. The principal amounts of the loans are to be repaid in consecutive quarterly installments, which installments may be adjusted based on the Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) at the end of each fiscal quarter. The obligations of Operating Company under the Credit Agreement are secured by liens on substantially all of the assets of Operating Company. As of March 31, 2014, $49.0 million was outstanding on this obligation. The weighted average interest rate for 2014 was 7.75%. See Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements for a discussion of other debt instruments of our operating segments.

This revolving line is for $65,000 with an interest rate of LIBOR + 250 basis points and a maturity date of January 25, 2017. As of March 31, 2014, there was $6,733 outstanding on this line (See Note 11—Debt).
(7)
Tiptree’s subsidiary Luxury has interest rate lock commitments to extend credit which are agreements to make mortgage loans to customers, generally having fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses that may require payment of a fee. Since these commitments may expire without being funded in whole or in part, the contract amounts are not necessarily indicative of future cash flows.
(8)
Tiptree’s subsidiary Luxury has commitments to sell mortgage loans, consisting of loans on which Luxury has made interest rate lock commitments, into the secondary market.
(9)
Tiptree’s subsidiary Siena issues standby letters of credit to customers which generally guarantee the borrower’s performance.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates as

61



discussed in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Refer to Note 2 (Acquisitions) for information regarding accounting principles associated with Luxury.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company adopted the following accounting standards:
In June 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-08, Financial Services-Investment Companies (ASC Topic 946): Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements. This ASU introduces a new approach for assessing whether an entity is an investment company. To determine whether an entity is an investment company for accounting purposes, Tiptree will now be required to evaluate the fundamental and typical characteristics of the entity including its purpose and design. The amendments in the ASU were effective for Tiptree in the first quarter of 2014. The Company completed its analysis of ASU No. 2013-08 and the adoption of this standard does not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (ASC Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) (ASU 2013-11), which provides that a liability related to an unrecognized tax benefit would be offset against a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed. In situations in which 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 jurisdiction or the tax law of the jurisdiction does not require, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit will be presented in the financial statements as a liability and will not be combined with deferred tax assets. The amendments are applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. ASU 2013-11 was effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The Company completed its analysis of ASU 2013-11 and the adoption of this standard does not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Luxury enters into contractual commitments to extend credit, normally with fixed expiration dates or termination clauses, at specified rates and for specific purposes, as well as commitments to sell real estate loans to various investors. Substantially all of Luxury’s commitments to extend credit are contingent upon customers maintaining specific credit standards at the time of loan funding. As of March 31, 2014, Luxury had $60.3 million outstanding in interest rate lock commitments to make mortgage loans and $57.7 million in commitments to sell mortgage loans consisting of loans on which Luxury has made interest rate lock commitments. In addition, Luxury issues standby letters of credit to customers which generally guarantee the borrower’s performance. Other than these commitments to originate and sell loans and letters of credit, the Company did not guarantee any obligations of unconsolidated entities, or express intent to provide additional funding to any such entities.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Tiptree completed the Contribution Transactions on July 1, 2013, and as a result is disclosing a change to internal control over financial reporting related thereto. The businesses contributed by TFP in the Contribution Transactions are excluded from management’s annual certifications pursuant to Section 906 and Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Management is in the process of evaluating internal control over financial reporting for the businesses contributed by TFP and expects that the assessment will be completed with Tiptree’s December 31, 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Company’s management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2014. Based upon that evaluation the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of March 31, 2014, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in causing material information relating to the Company to be recorded, processed, summarized and reported by management in a timely basis and ensuring the quality and timeliness of the Company’s public disclosures with SEC disclosure obligations.

PART II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Although Tiptree’s legal and financial liability with respect to such proceedings cannot be estimated with certainty, Tiptree does not believe that these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, are likely to have a material adverse effect on Tiptree’s financial position or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

For information regarding factors that could affect our Company, results of operations and financial condition, see the risk factors discussed under Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
