UNITRIN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and include the accounts of Unitrin, Inc. (“Unitrin”) and its subsidiaries (individually and collectively referred to herein as the “Company”) and are unaudited. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company accounts for its former Unitrin Business Insurance operations as discontinued operations. Certain financial information that is normally included in annual financial statements, including certain financial statement footnote disclosures, prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) is not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting and has been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation. The preparation of interim financial statements relies heavily on estimates. This factor and certain other factors, such as the seasonal nature of some portions of the insurance business, as well as market conditions, call for caution in drawing specific conclusions from interim results. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in Unitrin’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2010 (the “2010 Annual Report”).
Adoption of New Accounting Standards and Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issues Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) to amend the authoritative literature in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The Company has not adopted any new accounting standards in 2011. There have been seven ASUs issued in 2011 that amend the original text of ASC. Except for ASU 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements, described below, none of the ASUs issued in 2011 are expected to have an impact on the Company. ASU 2010-26, Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts, which was issued in 2010 and also described below, is expected to have an impact on the Company.
In October 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-26, Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with earlier adoption permitted. The provisions of the new standard can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The standard amends ASC Topic 944, Financial Services—Insurance, and modifies the definition of the types of costs incurred by insurance entities that can be capitalized in the acquisition of new and renewal contracts. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on the Company and the method of adoption.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements. The standard is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The new standard amends the existing fair value definition and enhances disclosure requirements. Other than the enhanced disclosure requirements, the Company does not anticipate that the adoption of the new standard will have a material impact on the Company.

Unrealized losses on fixed maturities, which the Company has determined to be temporary at June 30, 2011, were $13.7 million, of which $7.0 million is related to fixed maturities that were in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer. There were no unrealized losses at June 30, 2011 related to securities for which the Company has recognized credit losses in earnings in the preceding table under either the heading “Less Than 12 Months” or the heading “12 Months or Longer.” Included in the preceding table under the heading “12 Months or Longer” are unrealized losses of $0.1 million at June 30, 2011 related to securities for which the Company has previously recognized foreign currency losses in earnings. Investment-grade fixed maturity investments comprised $10.2 million and below-investment-grade fixed maturity investments comprised $3.5 million of the unrealized losses on investments in fixed maturities at June 30, 2011. Unrealized losses for below-investment-grade fixed maturities included unrealized losses totaling $0.1 million for 1 issuer that the Company previously recognized foreign currency impairment losses in earnings. For the other remaining below-investment-grade fixed maturity investments in an unrealized loss position, the unrealized loss amount, on average, was less than 3% of the amortized cost basis of the investment. At June 30, 2011, the Company did not have the intent to sell these investments and it was not more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell these investments before recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity. The Company concluded that these impairments were temporary at June 30, 2011.

Note 2 - Investments (continued)

For equity securities, the Company considers various factors when determining whether a decline in the fair value is other than temporary, including, but not limited to:

•
The financial condition and prospects of the issuer;
•
The length of time and magnitude of the unrealized loss;
•
The volatility of the investment;
•
Analyst recommendations and near term price targets;
•
Opinions of the Company’s external investment managers;
•
Market liquidity;
•
Debt-like characteristics of perpetual preferred stocks and issuer ratings; and
•
The Company’s intentions to sell or ability to hold the investments until recovery.
The vast majority of the Company’s preferred stocks in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2011 are perpetual preferred stocks of financial institutions and public utilities. The Company considers the debt-like characteristics of perpetual preferred stocks along with issuer ratings when evaluating impairment. All such preferred stocks paid dividends at the stated dividend rate during the twelve-month period preceding the evaluation date. The Company concluded that the declines in the fair values of these perpetual preferred stocks were temporary in nature, largely driven by market conditions, and since the Company intends to hold the securities until recovery, these investments were not considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2011. The Company concluded that the unrealized losses on its investments in common stocks at June 30, 2011 were temporary based on the relative short length and magnitude of the losses. The Company’s investments in other equity interests include investments in limited liability partnerships that primarily invest in distressed debt, mezzanine debt and secondary transactions. By the nature of their underlying investments, the Company believes that its investments in the limited liability partnerships also exhibit debt-like characteristics which, among other factors, the Company considers when evaluating these investments for impairment. Based on evaluations of the factors in the preceding paragraph, the Company concluded that the declines in the fair values of the Company’s investments in equity securities were temporary at June 30, 2011.

Unrealized losses on fixed maturities, which the Company determined to be temporary at December 31, 2010, were $32.2 million, of which $11.5 million is related to fixed maturities that were in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer. There were no unrealized losses at December 31, 2010 related to securities for which the Company has recognized credit losses in earnings in the preceding table under either the heading “Less Than 12 Months” or the heading “12 Months or Longer.” Included in the preceding table under the heading “12 Months or Longer” are unrealized losses of $0.1 million at December 31, 2010 related to securities for which the Company has recognized foreign currency losses in earnings. Investment-grade fixed maturity investments comprised $28.1 million and below-investment-grade fixed maturity investments comprised $4.1 million of the unrealized losses on investments in fixed maturities at December 31, 2010. Unrealized losses for below-investment-grade fixed maturities included unrealized losses totaling $0.1 million for 1 issuer that the Company recognized foreign currency impairment losses in earnings for the year ended December 31, 2010. For the other remaining below-investment-grade fixed maturity investments in an unrealized loss position, the unrealized loss amount, on average, was less than 4% of the amortized cost basis of the investment. At December 31, 2010, the Company did not have the intent to sell these investments and it was not more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell these investments before recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity.

The Company used several quality indicators, including, but not limited to, Fair Isaac Corporation (“FICO”) credit scores, loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratios and residency of customers to underwrite its automobile loans and uses these indicators to monitor its automobile loan portfolio. The FICO score is a measure of the creditworthiness of a borrower. A lower FICO score, compared to a higher FICO score, represents a higher likelihood of default. The LTV ratio is a measure of the value of a loan to the value of the collateral at the time a loan is originated. In the event of default, loans with higher initial LTV ratios are more likely to result in greater charge-off, compared to loans with lower initial LTV ratios, because a greater portion of the loan is unsecured. Economic conditions may vary by state and impact the ability of borrowers to repay their loans. For example, the unemployment rate in the state of California has been higher than the national average for the past several years. The Company does not update the initial quality indicators, but rather monitors changes in the mix of its automobile loan portfolio by such quality indicators to assess whether or not its historical charge-off and recovery patterns used to estimate future charge-offs and recoveries should be adjusted.

Property and Casualty Insurance Reserves are estimated based on historical experience patterns and current economic trends. Actual loss experience and loss trends are likely to differ from these historical experience patterns and economic conditions. Loss experience and loss trends emerge over several years from the dates of loss inception. The Company monitors such emerging loss trends on a quarterly basis. Changes in such estimates are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period of change.
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company reduced its property and casualty insurance reserves by $11.6 million to recognize favorable development of losses and loss adjustment expenses (“LAE”) from prior accident years. Personal lines insurance losses and LAE reserves developed favorably by $10.3 million and commercial lines insurance losses and LAE reserves developed favorably by $1.3 million. The personal lines insurance losses and LAE reserves developed favorably due primarily to the emergence of more favorable loss trends than expected for the 2010, 2009 and 2008 accident years.
For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company reduced its property and casualty insurance reserves by $16.0 million to recognize favorable development of losses and LAE from prior accident years. Personal lines insurance losses and LAE reserves developed favorably by $16.5 million and commercial lines insurance losses and LAE reserves developed unfavorably by $0.5 million. The personal lines insurance losses and LAE reserves developed favorably due primarily to the emergence of more favorable loss trends than expected for the 2009, 2008 and 2007 accident years.
The Company cannot predict whether losses and LAE will develop favorably or unfavorably from the amounts reported in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company believes that any such development will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated shareholders’ equity, but could have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial results for a given period.

Note 5 - Certificates of Deposits
In the first quarter of 2011, Fireside Bank paid $0.6 million in incentives, in lieu of future interest, to certificate holders to voluntarily close their accounts in advance of their scheduled maturity dates. Fireside Bank redeemed $12.4 million of certificates of deposits in connection with such incentive offers.
In the first quarter of 2011, Fireside Bank also paid $85.2 million, plus $3.6 million of future interest payable through the respective maturity dates, to redeem and close certain certificates of deposits. In the second quarter of 2011, Fireside Bank paid $172.7 million, plus future interest payable of $6.9 million through the respective maturity dates, to redeem and close all certificates of deposits that remained outstanding at March 31, 2011.
Note 6 - Long-term Equity-based Compensation Plans
On May 4, 2011 Unitrin's shareholders approved the 2011 Omnibus Equity Plan (“Omnibus Plan”). The Omnibus Plan replaced the Company's previous employee stock option plans, director stock option plan and restricted stock plan (collectively, the “Prior Plans”). Awards previously granted under the Prior Plans remain outstanding in accordance with their original terms. Beginning May 4, 2011, equity-based compensation awards may only be granted under the Omnibus Plan. A maximum number of 10,000,000 shares of Unitrin common stock may be issued under the Omnibus Plan (the "Share Authorization"). As of June 30, 2011, there were 9,950,000 common shares available for future grants under the Omnibus Plan, of which 528,600 shares related to performance-based restricted stock awards outstanding under the Prior Plans were reserved for future grants.
The design of the Omnibus Plan provides for fungible use of shares to determine the number of shares available for future grants, with a fungible conversion factor of 3 to 1, such that the Share Authorization will be reduced at two different rates, depending upon the type of award granted. Each share of Unitrin common stock issued upon the exercise of stock options or stock appreciation rights will reduce the number of shares available for future grant under the Share Authorization by one share, while each share of Unitrin common stock issued pursuant to “full value awards” will reduce the number of shares available for future grant under the Share Authorization by three shares. “Full value awards” are awards, other than stock options or stock appreciation rights, that are settled by the issuance of shares of Unitrin common stock and include restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units, if settled with stock, and other stock-based awards.
Share-based compensation expense for all of the Company’s long-term equity-based compensation plans was $2.9 million and $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Total unamortized compensation expense related to nonvested awards of such plans at June 30, 2011 was $7.2 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of each option on the date of grant. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes pricing model for options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were as follows:

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $9.12 per option and $7.70 per option, respectively. Total intrinsic value of stock options exercised was $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Cash received from option exercises and the total tax benefits realized for tax deductions from option exercises were insignificant for both the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Recipients of restricted stock are entitled to full dividend and voting rights on the same basis as all other outstanding shares of Unitrin common stock, and all awards are subject to forfeiture until certain restrictions have lapsed. The grant-date fair values of time-based restricted stock awards are determined using the closing price of Unitrin common stock on the date of grant. The grant-date fair values of the performance-based restricted stock awards are determined using the Monte Carlo simulation method.

Restricted stock granted during the six months ended June 30, 2011 includes 57,600 shares of time-vested restricted stock and 65,475 shares of performance-based restricted stock. The nonvested balance of restricted stock at June 30, 2011 was comprised of 164,418 shares of time-vested restricted stock and 176,200 shares of performance-based restricted stock. The number of additional shares that would be granted if the Company were to meet or exceed the maximum performance levels related to the outstanding performance-based shares was 176,200 shares (as "full value awards," the equivalent of 528,600 shares under the Share Authorization) at June 30, 2011. No restricted stock vested during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Note 8 - Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations Per Unrestricted Share
The Company’s awards of restricted stock contain a right to receive non-forfeitable dividends and participate in the undistributed earnings with common shareholders. Accordingly, the Company is required to apply the two-class method of computing basic and diluted earnings per share. A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of Basic Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations Per Unrestricted Share and Diluted Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations Per Unrestricted Share for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 is as follows:

Options outstanding to purchase 3.4 million shares of Unitrin common stock were excluded from the computation of Unitrin Share-based Compensation Equivalent Shares and Weighted-Average Unrestricted Shares and Equivalent Shares Outstanding Assuming Dilution for the six months ended June 30, 2011 because their exercise prices exceeded the average market price. Options outstanding to purchase 3.4 million shares of Unitrin common stock were excluded from the computation of Unitrin Share-based Compensation Equivalent Shares and Weighted-Average Unrestricted Shares and Equivalent Shares Outstanding Assuming Dilution for the three months ended June 30, 2011, because the effect of inclusion would be anti-dilutive and their exercise prices exceeded the average market price. Options outstanding to purchase 4.3 million and 4.1 million shares of Unitrin common stock were excluded from the computation of Unitrin Share-based Compensation Equivalent Shares and Weighted-Average Unrestricted Shares and Equivalent Shares Outstanding Assuming Dilution for the six and three months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, because their exercise prices exceeded the average market price.

The Company’s investments in Fixed Maturities that are classified as Level 1 in the two preceding tables primarily consist of U.S. Treasury Bonds and Notes. The Company’s investments in Equity Securities that are classified as Level 1 in the two preceding tables consist of either investments in publicly-traded common stocks, or exchange traded funds. The Company’s investments in Fixed Maturities that are classified as Level 2 in the two preceding tables primarily consist of investments in corporate bonds and redeemable preferred stocks, states and political subdivisions, and bonds and mortgage-backed securities
of U.S. government agencies. The Company’s investments in Equity Securities that are classified as Level 2 in the two preceding tables primarily consist of investments in preferred stocks. The Company uses a leading, nationally recognized provider of market data and analytics to price the vast majority of the Company’s Level 2 measurements. The provider utilizes evaluated pricing models that vary by asset class and incorporate available trade, bid and other market information. Because many fixed maturity securities do not trade on a daily basis, the provider’s evaluated pricing applications apply available information through processes such as benchmark curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings, and matrix pricing to prepare evaluations. In addition, the provider uses model processes to develop prepayment and interest rate scenarios. The

Note 13 - Fair Value Measurements (continued)

pricing provider’s models and processes also take into account market convention. For each asset class, teams of its evaluators gather information from market sources and integrate relevant credit information, perceived market movements and sector news into the evaluated pricing applications and models. The Company generally validates the measurements obtained from its
primary pricing provider by comparing them with measurements obtained from one additional pricing provider that provides either prices from recent market transactions or quotes in inactive markets or evaluations based on its own proprietary models.
The Company investigates significant differences related to the values provided. On completion of its investigation, management exercises judgment to determine the price selected and whether adjustments, if any, to the price obtained from the Company’s primary pricing provider would warrant classification of the price as Level 3. In instances where a measurement cannot be obtained from either pricing provider, the Company generally will evaluate bid prices from one or more binding quotes obtained from market makers to value investments in inactive markets and classified by the Company as Level 2. The Company generally classifies securities when it receives non-binding quotes or indications as Level 3 securities unless the Company can validate the quote or indication against recent transactions in the market. For securities classified as Level 3, the Company either uses valuations provided by third party fund managers, third party appraisers or the Company’s own internal valuations. These valuations typically employ valuation techniques, including earnings multiples based on comparable public securities, industry specific non-earnings based multiples or discounted cash flow models. Valuations classified as Level 3 by the Company generally consist of investments in various private placement securities of non-rated entities. In rare cases, if the private placement security has only been outstanding for a short amount of time, the Company, after considering the initial assumptions used in acquiring an investment, considers the original purchase price as representative of the fair value.
At June 30, 2011, the Company had unfunded commitments to invest an additional $67.5 million in certain private equity and mezzanine debt funds which will be included in Other Equity Interests.

Note 14 - Contingencies
In the ordinary course of their businesses, Unitrin and its subsidiaries are involved in legal proceedings, including lawsuits, regulatory examinations and inquiries. Some of these proceedings involve matters particular to the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries, while others pertain to business practices in the industries in which Unitrin or its subsidiaries operate. Some lawsuits seek class action status that, if granted, could expose Unitrin or its subsidiaries to potentially significant liability by virtue of the size of the putative classes. These matters can raise complicated issues and may be subject to many uncertainties, including, but not limited to: (i) the underlying facts of the matter; (ii) unsettled questions of law; (iii) issues unique to the jurisdiction where the matter is pending; (iv) damage claims, including claims for punitive damages, that are disproportionate to the actual economic loss incurred; and (v) the legal, regulatory and political environments faced by large corporations generally and the insurance and banking sectors specifically. Accordingly, the outcomes of these matters are difficult to predict, and the amounts or ranges of potential loss at particular points in time are in most cases difficult or impossible to ascertain.
Certain subsidiaries of Unitrin, like many property and casualty insurers, are defending a significant volume of lawsuits in southern coastal states arising out of property damage caused by catastrophes and storms, including major hurricanes. In these matters, the plaintiffs seek compensatory and punitive damages, and equitable relief. The Company believes its relevant subsidiaries have meritorious defenses to assert in these proceedings, and will vigorously contest these matters.
The Company believes that resolution of its pending legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated shareholders’ equity. However, given the unpredictability of the legal environment, there can be no assurance that one or more of these matters will not produce a result which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial results for any given period.
The legal and regulatory environments within which Unitrin and its subsidiaries conduct their businesses are often unpredictable. Industry practices that were considered legally-compliant and reasonable for years may suddenly be deemed unacceptable by virtue of an unexpected court or regulatory ruling. Anticipating such shifts in the law and the impact they may have on the Company and its operations is a difficult task and there can be no assurances that the Company will not encounter such shifts in the future.

UNITRIN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(Unaudited)


Note 15 - Related Parties
One of Unitrin’s directors, Mr. Fayez Sarofim, is the Chairman of the Board, President and the majority shareholder of Fayez Sarofim & Co. (“FS&C”), a registered investment advisory firm. Unitrin’s subsidiary, Trinity Universal Insurance Company (“Trinity”), had $110.9 million in assets managed by FS&C at June 30, 2011, under an agreement with FS&C whereby FS&C provides investment management services with respect to certain assets of Trinity for a fee based on the fair market value of the assets under management. Such agreement is terminable by either party at any time upon 30 days advance written notice. Investment expenses incurred in connection with such agreement were $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. Investment expenses incurred in connection with such agreement were insignificant for the six and three months ended June 30, 2010.
FS&C also provides investment management services with respect to certain funds of the Company’s defined benefit pension plan. At June 30, 2011, the Company’s defined benefit pension plan had $105.9 million in assets managed by FS&C. Investment expenses in connection with such agreement were $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
With respect to the Company’s defined contribution plans, one of the alternative investment choices afforded to participating employees is the Dreyfus Appreciation Fund, an open-end, diversified managed investment fund. FS&C provides investment management services to the Dreyfus Appreciation Fund as a sub-investment advisor. According to published reports filed by FS&C with the SEC, the Dreyfus Appreciation Fund pays monthly fees to FS&C according to a graduated schedule computed at an annual rate based on the value of the Dreyfus Appreciation Fund’s average daily net assets. The Company does not compensate FS&C for services provided to the Dreyfus Appreciation Fund. Participants in the Company’s defined contribution plans had allocated $19.4 million for investment in the Dreyfus Appreciation Fund at June 30, 2011, representing 6.4% of the total amount invested in the Company’s defined contribution plans at June 30, 2011.
The Company believes that the services described above have been provided on terms no less favorable to the Company than could have been negotiated with non-affiliated third parties.

Revenues
Earned Premiums were $1,094.1 million and $1,159.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, a decrease of $65.5 million. Earned Premiums were $548.1 million and $578.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, a decrease of $30.0 million. Earned Premiums decreased in the Unitrin Direct, Kemper and Unitrin Specialty segments.
Automobile Finance Revenues decreased by $29.0 million and $13.9 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2010, due to Fireside Bank’s execution of its ongoing plan to exit the automobile finance business.

Summary of Results (continued)
Net Investment Income increased by $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, due primarily to higher net investment income from Dividends on Equity Securities, partially offset by lower investment income from certain Equity Method Limited Liability Investments and lower interest and dividends from Investments in Fixed Maturities. Net Investment Income increased by $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, due primarily to higher net investment income from Dividends on Equity Securities and, to a lesser extent, higher interest and dividends from Investments in Fixed Maturities, partially offset by lower investment income from certain Equity Method Limited Liability Investments.
Net Realized Gains on Sales of Investments were $32.4 million and $17.9 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to $7.4 million and $2.9 million for the same periods in 2010. Net Impairment Losses Recognized in Earnings were $1.7 million and $1.3 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to $8.1 million and $4.9 million for the same periods in 2010, resulting from other than temporary declines in fair values of investments. The Company cannot predict if or when similar investment gains or losses may occur in the future.
Catastrophes
Catastrophe losses and LAE (excluding loss and LAE reserve development) from continuing operations were $114.0 million and $104.3 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to $43.8 million and $27.8 million for the same periods in 2010.

See Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”), “Critical Accounting Estimates,” of the 2010 Annual Report for additional information pertaining to the Company’s process of estimating property and casualty insurance reserves for losses and LAE, development of property and casualty insurance losses and LAE, estimated variability of property and casualty insurance reserves for losses and LAE, and a discussion of some of the variables that may impact development of property and casualty insurance losses and LAE and the estimated variability of property and casualty insurance reserves for losses and LAE.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The following discussions for the Kemper, Unitrin Specialty and Unitrin Direct segments use the non-GAAP financial measures of (i) Underlying Losses and LAE and (ii) Underlying Combined Ratio. Underlying Losses and LAE (also referred to in the discussion as “Current Year Non-catastrophe Losses and LAE”) exclude the impact of catastrophe losses, and loss and LAE reserve development from the Company’s Incurred Losses and LAE, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. The Underlying Combined Ratio is computed by adding the Current Year Non-catastrophe Losses and LAE Ratio with the Incurred Expense Ratio. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is the combined ratio, which uses total incurred losses and LAE, including the impact of catastrophe losses, and loss and LAE reserve development. The Company believes Underlying Losses and LAE and the Underlying Combined Ratio is useful to investors and is used by management to reveal the trends in our Property and Casualty businesses that may be obscured by catastrophe losses and prior year reserve development. These catastrophe losses may cause our loss trends to vary significantly between periods as a result of their incidence of occurrence and magnitude, and can have a significant impact on incurred losses and LAE and the combined ratio. Prior year reserve developments are caused by unexpected loss development on historical reserves. Because reserve development relates to the re-estimation of losses from earlier periods, it has no bearing on the performance of our insurance products in the current period. The Company believes it is useful for investors to evaluate these components separately and in the aggregate when reviewing our underwriting performance. The discussion of the Unitrin Direct segment also uses the non-GAAP financial measure of Underwriting Profit. Underwriting Profit is a measure of profitability before tax commonly used by insurance companies to measure the profits directly related to earned premiums. Accordingly, Underwriting Profit excludes net investment income, whereas Operating Profit, the directly comparable GAAP financial measure, includes net investment income.
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for the comparable GAAP financial measures, as they do not fully recognize the overall underwriting profitability of our business.

Earned Premiums in the Kemper segment decreased by $19.0 million and $8.5 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2010, due primarily to lower volume, partially offset by higher average premium rates. Volume decreased due, in part, to Kemper’s decision to maintain its underwriting discipline and increase premium rates while facing increased competition in a soft personal lines insurance market. Kemper expects earned premiums to decrease over the next several quarters as lower volume is partially offset by higher average premium rates. Earned premiums on automobile insurance decreased by $19.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, due to lower volume, partially offset by higher average premium rates. Earned premiums on automobile insurance decreased by $9.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, due primarily to lower volume. The weighted-average number of automobile insurance policies in force decreased by approximately 8.9% for both the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same periods in 2010. Earned premiums on homeowners insurance increased by $1.0 million and $1.2 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2010, due primarily to higher average premium rates, partially offset by lower volume. The weighted-average number of homeowners insurance policies in force decreased by approximately 4.5% and 3.7% for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2010. Earned premiums on other personal insurance decreased by $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2010, due primarily to lower volume, partially offset by higher average premium rates.
Net Investment Income in the Kemper segment increased by $3.4 million and $1.7 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2010, due primarily to higher levels of investments and higher yields on investments. The Kemper segment reported net investment income of $9.3 million and $5.5 million, from Equity Method Limited Liability Investments for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to $8.1 million and $5.3 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2010.
Operating results in the Kemper segment decreased by $76.9 million and $71.8 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2010, due primarily to higher incurred catastrophe losses and LAE (excluding development), the impact of lower favorable loss and LAE reserve development (including catastrophe development), higher underlying losses and LAE as a percentage of earned premiums, partially offset by higher Net Investment Income. Underlying incurred losses and LAE exclude the impact of catastrophes, and loss and LAE reserve development. Catastrophe losses and LAE were $96.9 million and $87.9 million (excluding development) for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to $38.6 million and $23.0 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2010. Favorable loss and LAE reserve development (including catastrophe development) was $6.0 million and $4.6 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to $14.6 million and $6.4 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2010. Underlying losses and LAE as a percentage of earned premiums was 67.3% and 65.9% for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to 65.0% and 63.9%, respectively, for the same periods in 2010.

Automobile insurance incurred losses and LAE decreased by $7.9 million due primarily to lower claim volume resulting principally from fewer automobile insurance policies in force and lower underlying losses and LAE as a percentage of earned premiums on automobile insurance, partially offset by the impact of lower favorable loss and LAE reserve development and higher incurred catastrophe losses and LAE (excluding development). Underlying losses and LAE as a percentage of earned premiums on automobile insurance was 70.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to 72.9% for the same period in 2010.

Kemper (continued)
Insurance Expenses decreased by $3.1 million and $0.7 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same periods in 2010, due primarily to lower acquisition expenses, largely due to lower earned premiums, partially offset by higher information technology expenses due to several new systems initiatives.
The Kemper segment reported Net Loss of $21.7 million and $33.0 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to Net Income of $28.1 million and $13.5 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2010. Net results in the Kemper segment decreased by $49.8 million and $46.5 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2010, due primarily to the lower operating results. The Kemper segment’s effective income tax rate differs from the federal statutory income tax rate due primarily to tax-exempt investment income and dividends received deductions. Tax-exempt investment income and dividends received deductions were $12.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $12.2 million for the same period in 2010.

Earned Premiums in the Unitrin Specialty segment decreased by $17.2 million and $7.2 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2010, due to lower earned premiums for both personal and commercial automobile insurance. Personal automobile insurance earned premiums decreased by $14.3 million and $6.0 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2010, due primarily to lower volume and, to a lesser extent, lower average premium rates. Throughout 2010, Unitrin Specialty’s personal automobile insurance policies in force decreased due to economic conditions, increased competition and higher premium rates, particularly in California. Personal automobile insurance policies in force were approximately 328,000 at June 30, 2011, compared to 329,000 at the beginning of 2011 and approximately 351,000 at the beginning of 2010. Unitrin Specialty expects that personal automobile insurance policies in force will be flat to marginally down throughout the remainder of 2011. Commercial automobile insurance earned premiums decreased by $2.9 million and $1.2 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to same periods in 2010, due primarily to lower volume. Commercial automobile insurance volume has decreased due primarily to a smaller renewal book of business, partially offset by higher retention rates.
Net Investment Income in the Unitrin Specialty segment increased by $0.3 million and $0.1 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2010, due primarily to higher yields on investments, partially offset by lower levels of investments.
Operating Profit in the Unitrin Specialty segment decreased by $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, due primarily to lower operating profit in personal automobile insurance, partially offset by higher operating profit in commercial automobile insurance. Operating Profit in the Unitrin Specialty segment decreased by $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, due to lower operating profit in personal automobile insurance and lower operating results in other insurance, partially offset by higher operating profit in commercial automobile insurance.
Personal automobile insurance operating profit decreased by $4.8 million and $1.3 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2010, due primarily to higher underlying incurred losses and LAE as a percentage of personal automobile insurance earned premiums and higher catastrophe losses and LAE, partially offset by the favorable effects of loss and LAE reserve development. Underlying incurred losses and LAE exclude the impact of catastrophes and loss and LAE reserve development. Underlying incurred losses and LAE as a percentage of personal automobile insurance earned premiums increased due primarily to higher frequency of losses and, to a lesser extent, higher severity of losses for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010. Underlying incurred losses and LAE as a percentage of personal automobile insurance earned premiums increased due primarily to higher severity of losses for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010. Loss and LAE reserve development on personal automobile insurance had favorable effects of $2.0 million and $1.3 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to adverse effects of $2.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2010.

Unitrin Specialty (continued)
Catastrophe losses and LAE were $3.0 million and $2.9 million (excluding development) for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to $2.3 million and $2.2 million, respectively, (excluding development) for the same periods in 2010.

Commercial automobile insurance operating profit increased by $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, due primarily to the favorable effects of loss and LAE reserve development, partially offset by higher underlying incurred losses and LAE as a percentage of commercial automobile insurance earned premiums. Commercial automobile insurance operating profit increased by $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, due primarily to the favorable effects of loss and LAE reserve development. Loss and LAE reserve development on commercial automobile insurance had favorable effects of $2.2 million and $1.2 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to favorable effects of $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2010. Underlying incurred losses and LAE as a percentage of commercial automobile insurance earned premiums increased for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, due primarily to higher frequency of losses, partially offset by lower severity of losses.

Other insurance consists of certain reinsurance pools in run-off and other personal insurance in run-off. Other insurance operating results were a loss of $0.3 million for both the six and three months ended June 30, 2011. Other insurance operating results were a loss of $0.4 million and income of $0.2 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. Loss and LAE reserve development on certain reinsurance pools in run-off, had adverse development of $0.5 million for both the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to adverse development of $0.7 million for both the six and three month periods in 2010. Insurance expenses for both the six and three months ended June 30, 2010 included a reduction of expense of $0.8 million related to a change in estimate for uncollectible reinsurance. Loss and LAE reserve development on other personal insurance had an adverse effect of $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and was almost entirely related to two liability claims, one from 2003 and the other from 2005.
Net Income in the Unitrin Specialty segment decreased by $2.7 million and $1.1 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2010, due primarily to the lower Operating Profit. The Unitrin Specialty segment’s effective income tax rate differs from the federal statutory income tax rate due primarily to tax-exempt investment income and dividends received deductions. Tax-exempt investment income and dividends received deductions were $5.5 million and $2.7 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to $5.9 million and $2.9 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2010.

The Unitrin Direct segment continues to roll out a newly designed product and align its marketing program to target better response and conversion rates from customers with more favorable risk characteristics.  The newly designed product includes increased pricing sophistication to improve premium rate accuracy by customer segment.  Actions to improve premium rate adequacy continue for all programs in line with rate level indications.
The Unitrin Direct segment has implemented and continues to implement rate increases across its book of business. These actions have led to a decrease in the overall premium volume, with the number of policies in force at June 30, 2011 decreasing by approximately 19% from the level at June 30, 2010. The Unitrin Direct segment expects that earned premiums, on a sequential quarter basis, will continue to decrease for the remainder of 2011.
Net Investment Income in the Unitrin Direct segment decreased by $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2010, due primarily to lower levels of investments, partially offset by higher yields on investments.
The Unitrin Direct segment reported an Operating Loss of $15.6 million and $8.2 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to an Operating Loss of $0.2 million and an Operating Profit of $0.9 million for the same periods in 2010, respectively. Operating results declined in the Unitrin Direct segment for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to 2010, due primarily to the impact of lower favorable loss and LAE reserve development, higher underlying losses and LAE as a percentage of earned premiums, higher incurred catastrophe losses and LAE (excluding development) and higher insurance expenses as a percentage of earned premiums. Underlying incurred losses and LAE exclude the impact of catastrophes, and loss and LAE reserve development.
Incurred Losses and LAE as a percentage of earned premiums was 88.8% and 89.7% for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to 76.3% and 75.5%, respectively, for the same periods in 2010. Incurred Losses and LAE as a percentage of earned premiums increased due primarily to the impact of lower favorable loss and LAE reserve development, higher underlying losses and LAE as a percentage of earned premiums and higher incurred catastrophe losses and LAE (excluding development). Favorable Loss and LAE reserve development was $0.6 million and $0.8 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to $7.1 million and $3.5 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2010. Underlying losses and LAE as a percentage of earned premiums was 86.0% and 84.3% for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to 80.6% and 79.6%, respectively, for the same periods in 2010. Underlying losses and LAE as a percentage of earned premiums increased for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to 2010, due primarily to increased severity on automobile insurance losses and, to a lesser extent, three large homeowners insurance losses. Underlying losses and LAE as a percentage of earned premiums increased for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared

to 2010, due primarily to increased severity on automobile insurance. Catastrophe losses and LAE (excluding development) were $4.0 million and $3.9 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to $0.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2010.
Incurred Losses and LAE as a percentage of earned premiums for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011 were significantly higher than the level required to produce an underwriting profit. Underwriting profit is a non-GAAP measure of profitability before tax used by insurance companies to measure the profits directly related to earned premiums. Accordingly, underwriting profit excludes net investment income, whereas Operating Profit, a GAAP measure, includes net investment income.
Insurance Expenses in the Unitrin Direct segment were 33.9% and 34.3% of earned premiums for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to 31.4% and 31.5%, respectively, of earned premiums for the same periods in 2010. Insurance Expenses as a percentage of earned premiums increased for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, due primarily to higher amortization expense related to the acquisition of Direct Response Corporation and higher restructuring costs. Insurance Expenses as a percentage of earned premiums increased for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, due primarily to higher restructuring costs. Total restructuring costs were $1.7 million and $1.2 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $0.5 million and $0.4 million for the same periods in 2010.
The Unitrin Direct segment reported a Net Loss of $8.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to Net Income of $0.5 million for the same period in 2010. The Unitrin Direct segment reported a Net Loss of $4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to Net Income of $0.4 million for the same period in 2010. The Unitrin Direct segment’s effective income tax rate differs from the federal statutory income tax rate due primarily to tax-exempt investment income, dividends received deductions and changes in certain recoverables that are not taxable for tax purposes. Tax-exempt investment income and dividends received deductions were $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $5.2 million for the same period in 2010. Tax-exempt investment income and dividends received deductions were $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $2.6 million for the same period in 2010. Income taxes for both the six and three months ended June 30, 2010 exclude a tax benefit of $1.1 million related to a reduction of $3.1 million of the Unitrin Direct segment’s estimate of certain recoverables that are not taxable for tax purposes.

Earned Premiums in the Life and Health Insurance segment increased by $2.3 million and $1.2 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2010, due primarily to higher accident and health insurance earned premiums. Earned premiums on accident and health insurance increased by $2.7 million and $1.4 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2010, due primarily to higher average premium rates, partially offset by lower volume of insurance. Net Investment Income increased by $0.8 million and $1.1 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2010, due primarily to higher levels of investments, higher interest income on loans to policyholders, partially offset by lower net investment income on Equity Method Limited Liability Investments.
Approximately 45% of the Life and Health Insurance segment’s accident and health insurance earned premiums for both the six and three months ended June 30, 2011 were derived from health insurance products that may be adversely impacted by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“PPACA”). These insurance products are sold by Reserve National. Reserve National is transitioning its sales to other health insurance products that are not expected to be as severely impacted by PPACA.
Operating Profit in the Life and Health Insurance segment was $83.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $74.0 million for the same period in 2010. Operating Profit increased for the six months ended June 30, 2011 due primarily to lower Policyholders’ Benefits and Incurred Losses and LAE, partially offset by higher insurance expenses. Policyholders’ Benefits and Incurred Losses and LAE decreased by $10.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, due primarily to lower policyholders’ benefits on life insurance and lower accident and health insurance losses as a percentage of accident and health earned premiums, partially offset by higher incurred losses and LAE on property insurance. Policyholders’ benefits on life insurance were $131.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $139.2 million in 2010, a decrease of $8.1 million. Policyholder benefits on life insurance decreased due primarily to a reserve

adjustment in the first quarter of 2011 associated with correcting expiry dates for certain extended term life insurance policies and improved mortality experience. Incurred accident and health insurance losses were $45.2 million, or 54.7% of accident and health insurance earned premiums, for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $50.3 million, or 62.9% of accident and health insurance earned premiums, in 2010. Incurred accident and health insurance losses as a percentage of accident and health insurance earned premiums decreased due primarily to lower severity of health claims. Incurred Losses and LAE, net of reinsurance, on property insurance were $27.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $24.7 million in 2010. Incurred Losses and LAE, net of reinsurance, on property insurance increased due primarily to higher catastrophe losses and LAE (excluding development), partially offset by the favorable impact of loss and LAE reserve development. Catastrophe losses and LAE (excluding development), were $10.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $2.2 million in 2010. Favorable loss reserve development on property insurance was $1.6 million (including favorable development of $0.7 million on catastrophes) for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to adverse development of $2.5 million (including adverse development of $2.1 million on catastrophes) in 2010. Insurance Expenses in the Life and Health Insurance segment increased by $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, due primarily to higher commission and fringe benefit expenses partially attributable to an increase in the number of career agents employed and higher amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs.
Operating Profit in the Life and Health Insurance segment was $32.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $33.5 million for the same period in 2010. Operating Profit decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2011 due primarily to higher Policyholders’ Benefits and Incurred Losses and LAE and higher insurance expenses, partially offset by the higher net investment income. Policyholders’ Benefits and Incurred Losses and LAE increased by $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, due primarily to higher incurred losses and LAE on property insurance, partially offset by lower accident and health insurance losses as a percentage of accident and health earned premiums and lower policyholders’ benefits on life insurance. Policyholders’ benefits on life insurance were $67.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $69.7 million in 2010, a decrease of $1.8 million. Policyholder benefits on life insurance decreased due primarily to improved mortality experience. Incurred accident and health insurance losses were $21.2 million, or 51.1% of accident and health insurance earned premiums, for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $23.3 million, or 58.1% of accident and health insurance earned premiums, in 2010. Incurred accident and health losses as a percentage of accident and health insurance earned premiums decreased due primarily to lower severity of health claims. Incurred Losses and LAE, net of reinsurance, on property insurance were $19.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $14.4 million in 2010. Incurred Losses and LAE, net of reinsurance, on property insurance increased due primarily to higher catastrophe losses and LAE (excluding development), partially offset by the favorable impact of loss and LAE reserve development. Catastrophe losses and LAE (excluding development), were $9.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $2.1 million in 2010. Favorable loss reserve development on property insurance was $0.7 million (including favorable development of $0.5 million on catastrophes) for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to adverse development of $2.8 million entirely related to catastrophes for the same period in 2010. Insurance Expenses in the Life and Health Insurance segment increased by $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, due primarily to higher commission and fringe benefit expenses partially attributable to an increase in the number of career agents employed and higher amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs.
Net Income in the Life and Health Insurance segment was $53.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $47.9 million for the same period in 2010. Net Income in the Life and Health Insurance segment was $20.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $21.5 million for the same period in 2010.

Near the end of the first quarter of 2009, Fireside Bank began a plan to exit the automobile finance business and wind down its operations in an orderly fashion. Since the inception of the exit plan, Net Automobile Loan Receivables Outstanding have declined steadily as customers pay the principal on their loans. The Company continues to evaluate alternatives to accelerate the exit plan. As part of that acceleration, during the first half of 2011 Fireside Bank redeemed all remaining certificates of deposits that were outstanding at December 31, 2010. Fireside Bank is in the process of surrendering its industrial bank charter and expects to surrender the charter by the end of the first quarter of 2012.
Interest, Loan Fees and Earned Discounts in the Fireside Bank segment decreased by $28.5 million and $13.7 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2010, due primarily to the collection and run-off of Sales Contracts and Loans Receivable. Sales Contracts and Loans Receivable was $255.7 million at June 30, 2011, compared to $548.7 million at June 30, 2010. Fireside Bank has no loans outstanding that are secured by real estate. Fireside Bank has not sold or securitized any portion of its loan portfolio.
Operating Profit in the Fireside Bank segment increased by $9.9 million and $3.0 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2010, due primarily to negative provisions for loan losses of $28.2 million and $14.4 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared with a positive provision of $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and no provision for the three months ended June 30, 2010, and lower General and Administrative Expenses and lower Incentives to Close Deposit Accounts Early, partially offset by lower Interest, Loan Fees and Earned Discounts. The negative provision for loan losses in 2011 was due primarily to recoveries of loans that had been previously charged off.

Fireside Bank (continued)
Fireside Bank’s loan portfolio delinquency has typically followed a seasonal pattern in which quarter-end delinquency is at its highest point at the end of the year, at its lowest point at the end of the first quarter, and then trends higher at the end of the second and third quarters. Loan portfolio delinquency has followed the historical pattern and trended lower during the first quarter of 2011 and trended higher in the second quarter of 2011. Fireside Bank cannot currently predict whether a new pattern will emerge in 2011, or if loan portfolio delinquency as measured as a percentage of loans outstanding will continue the seasonal pattern that it has typically followed. Fireside Bank does, however, expect that while delinquent accounts measured in dollars will continue to decline as the loan portfolio declines, delinquency as a percentage of loans outstanding may increase compared to the same periods in prior years. Fireside Bank has historically had many customers who have fallen behind one or two loan payments, but have continued to make regular monthly payments. Fireside Bank expects that the number of these delinquent, but regularly paying, customers will decline at a slower pace than the overall loan portfolio and, accordingly, will comprise a greater percentage of the loan portfolio over time. The Reserve for Loan Losses as a percentage of Net Automobile Loan Receivables was 8.7% at June 30, 2011, compared to 11.5% at December 31, 2010. The Reserve for Loan Losses was $22.3 million at June 30, 2011, while Delinquent Loan Balances 30 Days or Greater totaled $9.9 million. The Reserve for Loan Losses was $43.7 million at December 31, 2010, while Delinquent Loan Balances 30 Days or Greater totaled $19.3 million.
Interest Expense on Certificates of Deposits decreased by $0.7 million and increased by $0.1 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2010, due primarily to lower levels of deposits, partially offset by the payment of future interest in connection with redeeming certificates of deposits in advance of their respective scheduled maturity dates. Fireside Bank redeemed $257.9 million of deposits earlier than their scheduled maturity dates and paid the entire future interest of $10.5 million for these early redemptions in the first half of 2011, of which $3.6 million of future interest was paid in the first quarter of 2011 and $6.9 million was paid in the second quarter of 2011. Fireside Bank also offered incentives, in lieu of future interest, to certain depositors to voluntarily redeem their certificates of deposits earlier than their scheduled maturity dates. Fireside Bank redeemed $12.4 million of certificates of deposits during the first quarter of 2011 and paid incentives of $0.6 million in connection with such incentive offers. There were no voluntary redemptions in the second quarter of 2011.

Net Investment Income was $164.6 million and $162.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Net Investment Income increased by $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, due primarily to higher Dividends on Equity Securities, partially offset by lower net investment income from Equity Method Limited Liability Investments and lower Interest and Dividends on Fixed Maturities. Dividends on Equity Securities increased by $6.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, due primarily to higher levels of dividend paying equity securities. Net investment income from Equity Method Limited Liability Investments decreased by $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, due primarily to lower investment returns. Interest and Dividends on Fixed Maturities decreased by $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, due primarily to a lower weighted-average of investments in fixed maturities owned in 2011, compared to 2010, partially offset by higher yields on investments in fixed maturities.

Net Investment Income was $83.0 million and $81.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Net Investment Income increased by $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, due primarily to higher Dividends on Equity Securities and, to a lesser extent, higher Interest and Dividends on Fixed Maturities, partially offset by lower net investment income from Equity Method Limited Liability Investments. Dividends on Equity Securities increased by $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, due primarily to higher levels of dividend paying equity securities. Interest and Dividends on Fixed Maturities increased by $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, due primarily to higher yields on fixed maturities, partially offset by a lower weighted-average of investments in fixed maturities owned in 2011, compared to 2010. Net investment income from Equity Method Limited Liability Investments decreased by $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, due primarily to lower investment returns.

The Company regularly reviews its investment portfolio for factors that may indicate that a decline in the fair value of an investment is other-than-temporary. Losses arising from other-than-temporary declines in fair values are reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period that the declines are determined to be other-than-temporary. Net Impairment Losses recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011 include OTTI losses of $1.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively, from other-than-temporary declines in the fair values of investments. In May 2011, the Company purchased an exchange traded fund that has since declined in value. The Company intends to sell such exchange traded fund in the near term, which may occur before the investment fully recovers in value. Accordingly, Net Impairment Losses Recognized in Earnings on Investments in Equity Securities includes a loss of $1.2 million for both the six and three months ended June 30, 2011 related to such exchange traded fund. Net Impairment Losses Recognized in Earnings on Investments in Fixed Maturities includes credit losses of $5.2 million and $2.1 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, due to the deterioration of the business prospects of a single issuer in the waste management business. Net Impairment Losses Recognized in Earnings on Investments in Fixed Maturities for both the six and three months ended June 30, 2010 included pre-tax foreign currency losses of $2.1 million.

Gross unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in below-investment-grade fixed maturities were $3.5 million and $4.1 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. At June 30, 2011, the Company had $371.4 million of bonds issued by states and political subdivisons that had been pre-refunded with U.S. Government and Government Agencies and Authorities obligations held in trust for the full payment of principal and interest. At June 30, 2011, the Company had $1,471.9 million of investments in bonds issued by states and political subdivsions, commonly referred to as “municipal bonds,” that had not been pre-refunded, of which $328.7 million were enhanced with insurance from monoline bond insurers. The Company’s municipal bond investment credit-risk strategy is to focus on the underlying credit rating of the issuer and not to rely on the credit enhancement provided by the monoline bond insurer when making investment decisions. To that end, the underlying rating of over 93% of the Company’s entire municipal bond portfolio that has not been pre-refunded is AA or higher, the majority of which are direct obligations of states.

Interest and Other Expenses
Interest and Other Expenses was $40.6 million and $20.9 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to $33.8 million and $17.4 million for the same periods in 2010. Interest and Other Expenses increased by $6.8 million and $3.5 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2010, due primarily to higher levels of debt outstanding and higher postretirement benefit costs.
Income Taxes
The Company’s effective income tax rate from continuing operations differs from the Federal statutory income tax rate due primarily to the effects of tax-exempt investment income and dividends received deductions, and the net effects of state income taxes. Tax-exempt investment income and dividends received deductions were $26.1 million and $13.1 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to $27.7 million and $13.6 million for the same periods in 2010. State income tax expense, net of federal benefit, was $0.6 million and $0.1 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011. State income tax expense for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011 included benefits of $1.8 million and $0.6 million, net of federal taxes, respectively, for decreases in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance related to Fireside Bank. State income tax expense, net of federal benefit, was $1.1 million and $0.5 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2010. State income tax expense for the six and three months ended June 30, 2010 included benefits of $0.3 million and $0.1 million, net of federal taxes, respectively, for decreases in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance related to Fireside Bank.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Company did not adopt any new accounting standards in 2011. The Company has not yet adopted ASU 2010-26, Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts and ASU 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements. ASU 2010-26 and ASU 2011-04 are discussed in Note 1, “Basis of Presentation” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under the heading “Adoption of New Accounting Standards and Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted.”

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Unitrin has a three-year, $245 million, unsecured, revolving credit agreement, expiring October 30, 2012, with a group of financial institutions (the “2012 Credit Agreement”). The 2012 Credit Agreement provides for fixed and floating rate advances for periods up to six months at various interest rates. The 2012 Credit Agreement contains various financial covenants, including limits on total debt to total capitalization, consolidated net worth and minimum risk-based capital ratios for Unitrin’s largest insurance subsidiaries, United Insurance Company of America and Trinity. Proceeds from advances under the 2012 Credit Agreement may be used for general corporate purposes, including repayment of existing indebtedness. There were no outstanding borrowings under the 2012 Credit Agreement at either June 30, 2011 or December 31, 2010.
Various state insurance laws restrict the ability of Unitrin’s insurance subsidiaries to pay dividends without regulatory approval. Such insurance laws generally restrict the amount of dividends paid in an annual period to the greater of statutory net income from the previous year or 10% of statutory capital and surplus. Unitrin’s direct insurance subsidiaries paid dividends consisting of $45.5 million in cash to Unitrin during the first six months of 2011. Unitrin estimates that its direct insurance subsidiaries would be able to pay $139 million in dividends to Unitrin during the remainder of 2011. Such dividends will not require prior regulatory approval.
Unitrin’s subsidiary, Fireside Bank, is chartered as an industrial bank and is regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and the California Department of Financial Institutions (“CDFI”). Fireside Bank has agreed not to pay dividends without the prior approval of the FDIC and the CDFI. Fireside Bank has a $30 million line of credit with Unitrin. In April 2011, Fireside Bank used its cash and investments, cash flow from operations and $30 million of proceeds from its line of credit with Unitrin to redeem all remaining certificates of deposits, plus future interest of $6.9 million, that were outstanding at March 31, 2011. The line of credit was repaid during the second quarter of 2011 and was undrawn at June 30, 2011. Fireside Bank has begun the process of surrendering its industrial bank charter. Upon completion of this process, Fireside Bank will cease to be regulated by the FDIC and CDFI, and accordingly, will be able to pay dividends and return capital to Unitrin without prior regulatory approval. Fireside Bank expects to return at least $265 million of capital to Unitrin.
On February 2, 2011, the Board of Directors approved a new repurchase program under which Unitrin is authorized to repurchase up to $300 million worth of its common stock. During the first six months of 2011, Unitrin repurchased approximately 0.7 million shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of $21.7 million in open market transactions.
Unitrin paid a quarterly dividend to shareholders of $0.24 per common share in both the first and second quarters of 2011. Dividends paid were $29.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
Unitrin directly held cash and investments totaling $47.6 million at June 30, 2011, compared to $60.5 million at December 31, 2010. Sources available for the repayment of indebtedness, repurchases of common stock, future shareholder dividend payments, and the payment of interest on Unitrin’s senior notes include cash and investments directly held by Unitrin, receipt of dividends from Unitrin’s subsidiaries and borrowings under the 2012 Credit Agreement.
The primary sources of funds for Unitrin’s insurance subsidiaries are premiums, investment income and proceeds from the sales and maturity of investments. The primary uses of funds are the payment of policyholder benefits under life insurance contracts, claims under property and casualty insurance contracts and accident and health insurance contracts, the payment of commissions and general expenses and the purchase of investments. Generally, there is a time lag between when premiums are collected and when policyholder benefits and insurance claims are paid. Accordingly, during periods of growth, insurance companies typically experience positive operating cash flows and are able to invest a portion of their operating cash flows to fund future policyholder benefits and claims. During periods in which premium revenues decline, insurance companies may experience negative cash flows from operations and may need to sell investments to fund payments to policyholders and claimants. In addition, if the Company’s property and casualty insurance subsidiaries experience several significant catastrophic events over a relatively short period of time, investments may have to be sold in advance of their maturity dates to fund payments, which could either result in investment gains or losses. Management believes that its property and casualty insurance subsidiaries maintain adequate levels of liquidity in the event that they experience several future catastrophic events over a relatively short period of time. The primary sources of funds for Fireside Bank are the repayments of automobile loans,

Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)
interest on automobile loans, investment income and proceeds from the sales and maturity of investments. The primary uses of funds for Fireside Bank are general expenses and purchase of investments. Prior to the redemption of its Certificates of Deposits, the primary uses of funds for Fireside Bank also included the repayment of customer deposits and interest paid to depositors.
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities decreased by $28.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010.
Net Cash Used by Financing Activities increased by $160.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010. The Company has funded its Automobile Loan Receivables through the issuance of Certificates of Deposits. Net cash used by Repayments of Certificates of Deposits was $321.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to net cash used of $173.6 million for the same period in 2010. Unitrin used $21.7 million of cash during the first six months of 2011 to repurchase shares of its common stock, compared to $12.2 million of cash used to repurchase shares of its common stock in the same period of 2010. Unitrin used $29.2 million of cash to pay dividends for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $27.5 million of cash used to pay dividends in the same period of 2010. The quarterly dividend rate was $0.24 per common share for both the first and second quarter of 2011, compared to $0.22 per common share for the same periods in 2010.
Cash available for investment activities in total is dependent on cash flow from Operating Activities and Financing Activities and the level of cash the Company elects to maintain. Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities increased by $238.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period of 2010. Sales of Fixed Maturities exceeded Purchases of Fixed Maturities by $54.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Purchases of Fixed Maturities exceeded Sales of Fixed Maturities by $14.8 million in the same period of 2010. Sales of Equity Securities exceeded Purchases of Equity Securities by $38.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Purchases of Equity Securities exceeded Sales of Equity Securities by $29.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Net cash provided by dispositions of short-term investments was $128.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $2.3 million provided by dispositions of short-term investments in the same period of 2010. Receipts from automobile loan receivables provided $133.6 million of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $189.6 million of cash provided in the same period of 2010.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Unitrin’s subsidiaries conduct their businesses in three industries: property and casualty insurance, life and health insurance and automobile finance. Accordingly, the Company is subject to several industry-specific accounting principles under GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The process of estimation is inherently uncertain. Accordingly, actual results could ultimately differ materially from the estimated amounts reported in a company’s financial statements. Different assumptions are likely to result in different estimates of reported amounts.
The Company’s critical accounting policies most sensitive to estimates include the valuation of investments, the valuation of reserves for property and casualty insurance incurred losses and LAE, the valuation of the reserve for loan losses, the assessment of recoverability of goodwill, the valuation of pension benefit obligations and the valuation of postretirement benefit obligations other than pensions. The Company’s critical accounting policies are described in the MD&A included in the 2010 Annual Report. There has been no material change, subsequent to December 31, 2010, to the information previously disclosed in the 2010 Annual Report with respect to these critical accounting estimates and the Company’s critical accounting policies.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, the Company is required to provide the following disclosures about Market Risk.
Quantitative Information About Market Risk
The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at both June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 included four types of financial instruments subject to material market risk disclosures required by the SEC:
1)
Investments in Fixed Maturities;
2)
Investments in Equity Securities;
3)
Automobile Loan Receivables; and
4)
Notes Payable.
The Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2010 included an additional type of financial instrument, Certificates of Deposits, subject to material market risk disclosures required by the SEC. Investments in Fixed Maturities, Automobile Loan Receivables, Certificates of Deposits and Notes Payable are subject to material interest rate risk. The Company’s Investments in Equity Securities include common and preferred stocks and, accordingly, are subject to material equity price risk and interest rate risk, respectively.
For purposes of this disclosure, market risk sensitive financial instruments are divided into two categories: financial instruments acquired for trading purposes and financial instruments acquired for purposes other than trading. The Company’s market risk sensitive financial instruments are generally classified as held for purposes other than trading. The Company has no significant holdings of financial instruments acquired for trading purposes. The Company has no significant holdings of derivatives.
The Company measures its sensitivity to market risk by evaluating the change in its financial assets and liabilities relative to fluctuations in interest rates and equity prices. The evaluation is made using instantaneous changes in interest rates and equity prices on a static balance sheet to determine the effect such changes would have on the Company’s market value at risk and the resulting pre-tax effect on Shareholders’ Equity. The changes chosen represent the Company’s view of adverse changes which are reasonably possible over a one-year period. The selection of the changes chosen should not be construed as the Company’s prediction of future market events, but rather an illustration of the impact of such possible events.
For the interest rate sensitivity analysis presented below, the Company assumed an adverse and instantaneous increase of 100 basis points in the yield curve at both June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 for Investments in Fixed Maturities. Such 100 basis point increase in the yield curve may not necessarily result in a corresponding 100 basis point increase in the interest rate for all investments in fixed maturities. For example, a 100 basis point increase in the yield curve for risk-free, taxable investments in fixed maturities may not result in a 100 basis point increase for tax-exempt investments in fixed maturities. For Investments in Fixed Maturities, the Company also anticipated changes in cash flows due to changes in the likelihood that investments would be called or pre-paid prior to their contractual maturity. All other variables were held constant. For preferred stock equity securities and Automobile Loan Receivables, the Company assumed an adverse and instantaneous increase of 100 basis points in market interest rates from their levels at both June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. All other variables were held constant. For Notes Payable, the Company assumed an adverse and instantaneous decrease of 100 basis points in market interest rates from their levels at both June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. All other variables were held constant. The Company measured equity price sensitivity assuming an adverse and instantaneous 30% decrease in the Standard and Poor’s Stock Index (the “S&P 500”) from its levels at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, with all other variables held constant. The Company’s investments in common stock equity securities were correlated with the S&P 500 using the portfolio’s weighted-average beta of 0.95 and 0.96 at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The portfolio’s weighted-average beta was calculated using each security’s beta for the five-year periods ended June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, and weighted on the fair value of such securities at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. For equity securities without observable market inputs the Company assumed a beta of 1.00 at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. Beta measures a stock’s relative volatility in relation to the rest of the stock market, with the S&P 500 having a beta coefficient of 1.00.

The market risk sensitivity analysis assumes that the composition of the Company’s interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities, including, but not limited to, credit quality, and the equity price sensitive assets existing at the beginning of the period remains constant over the period being measured. It also assumes that a particular change in interest rates is uniform across the yield curve regardless of the time to maturity. Interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Also, any future correlation, either in the near term or the long term, between the Company’s common stock equity securities portfolio and the S&P 500 may differ from the historical correlation as represented by the weighted-average historical beta of the common stock equity securities portfolio. Accordingly, the market risk sensitivity analysis may not be indicative of, is not intended to provide, and does not provide, a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market rates on the Company’s income or shareholders’ equity. Further, the computations do not contemplate any actions the Company may undertake in response to changes in interest rates or equity prices.
To the extent that any adverse 100 basis point change occurs in increments over a period of time instead of instantaneously, the adverse impact on fair values would be partially mitigated because some of the underlying financial instruments would have matured. For example, proceeds from any maturing assets could be reinvested and any new liabilities would be incurred at the then current interest rates.
Qualitative Information About Market Risk
Market risk is a broad term related to economic losses due to adverse changes in the fair value of a financial instrument and is inherent to all financial instruments. SEC disclosure rules focus on only one element of market risk - price risk. Price risk relates to changes in the level of prices due to changes in interest rates, equity prices, foreign exchange rates or other factors that relate to market volatility of the rate, index, or price underlying the financial instrument. The Company’s primary market risk exposures are to changes in interest rates and equity prices.
The Company manages its interest rate exposures with respect to Investments in Fixed Maturities by investing primarily in investment-grade securities of moderate effective duration.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a)
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
The Company’s management, with the participation of Unitrin’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, Unitrin’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by Unitrin in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including Unitrin’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b)
Changes in internal controls.
There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Items not listed here have been omitted because they are inapplicable or the answer is negative.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
Except for the addition of the following risk factor, there have been no significant changes in the risk factors included in Item 1A. of Part II of the 2010 Annual Report.

A downgrade in the ratings of the sovereign debt of the United States could adversely impact the credit quality and value of the Company's Investments in Fixed Maturities and have other negative impacts on the insurance industry.

Three nationally recognized credit rating agencies, S & P, Moody's and Fitch, have placed the sovereign debt of the United States under negative credit watch with the potential for a downgrade, which could adversely impact the credit quality of the Company's fixed maturity investment portfolio. A downgrade of the sovereign debt of the United States could result in investors requiring higher interest rates for investments in the sovereign debt of the United States as well as other governmental and private issuers, which would likely result in a decrease in the fair values of the Company's investments in fixed maturities. In addition, a downgrade in the ratings of the sovereign debt of the United States, could result in a disruption in the capital markets and adversely impact the Company's ability to invest its cash flows and conduct its investment operations. In addition, such events could lead to additional capital requirements for regulated insurance companies in order to maintain their existing credit ratings by S&P, Moody's, Fitch or AM Best.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds 

On February 2, 2011, Unitrin’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $300 million of Unitrin’s common stock. The repurchase program does not have an expiration date. No shares were repurchased under the repurchase program during the second quarter of 2011. The maximum dollar value of shares that may yet be repurchased under the program was $278.3 million of Unitrin's common stock at June 30, 2011.
The repurchase program does not include shares withheld or surrendered, either actually or constructively, to satisfy the exercise price and/or tax withholding obligations relating to the exercise of stock options or stock appreciation rights under Unitrin’s long-term equity-based compensation plans or shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations on the vesting of restricted stock awards under Unitrin’s long-term equity-based compensation plans. During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, 3,030 shares were withheld or surrendered, either actually or constructively, to satisfy the exercise price and/or tax withholding obligations relating to the exercise of stock options or stock appreciation rights under Unitrin’s long-term equity-based compensation plans. No restricted stock vested during the quarter ended June 30, 2011.
