Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited, consolidated financial statements for HCI Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules for interim financial reporting. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, in the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2015 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for any subsequent interim period or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 included in the Company’s Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 10, 2015.

In preparing the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements, management was required to make certain judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures at the financial reporting date and throughout the periods being reported upon. Certain of the estimates result from judgments that can be subjective and complex and consequently actual results may differ from these estimates.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term are related to the Company’s losses and loss adjustment expenses, which include amounts estimated for claims incurred but not yet reported. The Company uses various assumptions and actuarial data it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances to make these estimates. In addition, accounting policies for reinsurance contracts with retrospective provisions, deferred income taxes, and stock-based compensation expense involve significant judgments and estimates material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Statutory Accounting Practices

The Company’s U.S. insurance subsidiaries comply with statutory accounting practices prescribed by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. There are no state prescribed or permitted practices that have been adopted by the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries. In addition, the Company’s Bermuda insurance subsidiary prepares and files financial statements in accordance with the prescribed regulatory accounting practices of the Bermuda Monetary Authority.

Note 2 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09. In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) approved a one-year deferral of the effective date of this update, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This standard will now become effective for the Company beginning with the first quarter of 2018.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-09. In May 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-09 (“ASU 2015-09”), Financial Services – Insurance (Topic 944), which improves disclosure requirements for all insurance entities that issue short-duration contracts. The amendments in ASU 2015-09 increase transparency of significant estimates made in measuring the liability for unpaid claims and claim adjustment expenses, improve comparability by requiring consistent disclosure of information, and provide financial statement users with additional information to facilitate analysis of the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows and the development of loss reserve estimates. ASU 2015-09 is effective for all public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for annual years beginning after December 15, 2016, and for interim periods within annual years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. Application of this guidance will have no effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and comprehensive income.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03. In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03 (“ASU 2015-03”), Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30), which requires that debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of debt liability. ASU 2015-03 does not change the recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs. ASU 2015-03 is effective for all public entities for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company plans to adopt this guidance in December 2015, which will have no effect on the consolidated results of the Company’s operations and comprehensive income.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-02. In February 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-02 (“ASU 2015-02”), Consolidation (Topic 810), which revises the consolidation model affecting limited partnerships and similar legal entities, evaluation of fees paid to a decision maker or a service provider, effect of fee arrangements and related parties on the primary beneficiary determination, and certain investment funds. ASU 2015-02 is effective for all public entities for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. For all other entities, the amendments in ASU 2015-02 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. Any adjustments related to an early adoption in

an interim period should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. Entities may apply the amendments in ASU 2015-02 retrospectively or use a modified retrospective approach by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. Adoption of this guidance had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-01. In January 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-01 (“ASU 2015-01”), Income Statement – Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20), which eliminates the concept of extraordinary items. Entities are no longer required to evaluate whether an underlying event or transaction is extraordinary. ASU 2015-01 applies to all reporting entities and is effective for all entities for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. Entities may apply the amendments in ASU 2015-01 either (a) prospectively or (b) retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Adoption of this guidance had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Other-than-temporary Impairment

The Company regularly reviews individual impaired investment securities for other-than-temporary impairment. The Company considers various factors in determining whether each individual security is other-than-temporarily impaired, including:

| • |  | the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events that may affect its operations or earnings;

| • |  | the length of time and the extent to which the market value of the security has been below its cost or amortized cost;

| • |  | general market conditions and industry or sector specific factors;

| • |  | nonpayment by the issuer of its contractually obligated interest and principal payments; and

| • |  | the Company’s intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for the recovery of costs.

Securities with gross unrealized loss positions at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, aggregated by investment category and length of time the individual securities have been in a continuous loss position, are as follows:

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise stated)

Based on the Company’s recent review, the unrealized losses on investments in fixed-maturity securities were caused primarily by expectation of interest rate changes. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates or market conditions and not a decline in credit quality, and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these securities and it is probable that the Company will not be required to sell these securities until a market price recovery or maturity, the Company does not consider any of its fixed-maturity securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

In determining whether equity securities are other than temporarily impaired, the Company considers its intent and ability to hold a security for a period of time sufficient to allow for the recovery of cost. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company determined that four and six equity securities, respectively, were other-than-temporarily impaired after considering the length of time each security had been in an unrealized loss position, the extent of the decline and the near term prospect for recovery. As a result, the Company recognized impairment losses of $293 and $1,983, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. There were no impairment losses recorded in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.

Note 7 — Reinsurance

The Company cedes a portion of its homeowners’ insurance exposure to other entities under catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance treaties and one quota share arrangement. The Company remains liable for claims payments in the event that any reinsurer is unable to meet its obligations under the reinsurance agreements. Failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company. The Company evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentrations of credit risk arising from similar geographic regions, activities or economic characteristics of the reinsurers to minimize its exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies. The Company contracts with a number of reinsurers to secure its annual reinsurance coverage, which generally becomes effective June 1st each year. The Company purchases reinsurance each year taking into consideration probable maximum losses and reinsurance market conditions.

The impact of the catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance treaties and one quota share arrangement on premiums written and earned is as follows:

Certain of the reinsurance contracts include retrospective provisions that adjust premiums, increase the amount of future coverage, or result in profit commissions in the event losses are minimal or zero. These adjustments are reflected in the consolidated statements of income as net reductions in ceded premiums of $6,241 and $5,056 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $12,614 and $10,540 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, other assets included $41,503 and $28,596, respectively, and prepaid reinsurance premiums included $5,691 and $5,983, respectively, which are related to these adjustments.

Note 8 — Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses

The liability for losses and loss adjustment expenses is determined on an individual case basis for all claims reported. The liability also includes amounts for unallocated expenses, anticipated future claim development and losses incurred, but not reported.

Activity in the liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses is summarized as follows:

|  | Three Months Ended June 30, |  |  | Six Months Ended June 30, |
|  | 2015 |  |  | 2014 |  |  | 2015 |  |  | 2014 |

Prior period |  |  | 343 |  |  |  | (265 | ) |  |  | 550 |  |  |  | (614 | )
Total incurred |  |  | 20,565 |  |  |  | 18,383 |  |  |  | 39,604 |  |  |  | 36,948 |
Paid related to: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Current period |  |  | (10,256 | ) |  |  | (12,228 | ) |  |  | (15,052 | ) |  |  | (18,835 | )
Prior period |  |  | (7,157 | ) |  |  | (6,708 | ) |  |  | (19,131 | ) |  |  | (18,755 | )
Total paid |  |  | (17,413 | ) |  |  | (18,936 | ) |  |  | (34,183 | ) |  |  | (37,590 | )
Balance, end of period |  | $ | 54,329 |  |  | $ | 43,044 |  |  | $ | 54,329 |  |  | $ | 43,044 |

The establishment of loss reserves is an inherently uncertain process and changes in loss reserve estimates are expected as these estimates are subject to the outcome of future events. Changes in estimates, or differences between estimates and amounts ultimately paid, are reflected in the operating results of the period during which such adjustments are made. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company experienced unfavorable development of $343 and $550, respectively, with respect to its net unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses established as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Factors attributable to this unfavorable development include an increase in the number of late reported claims.

The Company writes insurance in the state of Florida, which could be exposed to hurricanes or other natural catastrophes. The occurrence of a major catastrophe could have a significant effect on the Company’s monthly or quarterly results and cause a temporary disruption of the normal operations of the Company. The Company is unable to predict the frequency or severity of any such events that may occur in the near term or thereafter.

Note 9 — Income Taxes

During the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded approximately $13,561 and $9,953, respectively, of income taxes, which resulted in effective tax rates of 38.1% and 37.7%, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded approximately $29,229 and $20,643, respectively, of income taxes, which resulted in estimated annual effective tax rates of 38.1% and 37.7%, respectively. The increase in the 2015 effective tax rate was primarily attributable to an increase in overall income and a decrease in interest income earned on tax-exempt securities. The Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate differs from the statutory federal tax rate due to state and foreign income taxes as well as certain nondeductible and tax-exempt items.

Note 10 — Earnings Per Share

U.S. GAAP requires the Company to use the two-class method in computing basic earnings per share since holders of the Company’s restricted stock have the right to share in dividends, if declared, equally with common stockholders. These participating securities affect the computation of both basic and diluted earnings per share during periods of net income.

Restricted Stock Awards

From time to time, the Company has granted and may grant restricted stock awards to certain executive officers, other employees and nonemployee directors in connection with their service to the Company. The terms of the Company’s outstanding restricted stock grants may include service, performance and market-based conditions. The fair value of the awards with market-based conditions is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation method, which calculates many potential outcomes for an award and then establishes fair value based on the most likely outcome. The determination of fair value with respect to the awards with only performance or service-based conditions is based on the market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.

Note 13 — Commitments and Contingencies

Obligations under Multi-Year Reinsurance Contracts

As of June 30, 2015, the Company has contractual obligations related to two-year and three-year reinsurance contracts. These contracts have effective dates of either June 1, 2013 or June 1, 2014 and may be cancelable only with the other party’s consent. The future minimum aggregate premiums payable to these reinsurers due in one year are $43,895.

Lease Commitment

The Company entered into a lease for 2,819 square feet of office space in Miami, Florida. The lease commenced February 15, 2015 and has an initial term of three years with monthly rental payments of approximately $5 plus applicable sales tax. The minimum future rental payments due during the twelve months ended June 30, 2016, 2017 and 2018 are $67, $69 and $53, respectively.

Financing Commitment

As described in Note 3 — “Investments” under ADC Arrangement, the Company is contractually committed to provide financing for a real estate acquisition, development and construction project. At June 30, 2015, $4,112 of the Company’s commitment was unused.

Capital Commitment

As described in Note 3 — “Investments” under Limited Partnership Investments, the Company is contractually committed to capital contributions under limited partnership agreements. At June 30, 2015, there was an aggregate unfunded balance of $22,231.

Premium Tax

In September 2013, the Company received a notice of intent to make audit adjustments from the Florida Department of Revenue in connection with the Department’s audit of the Company’s premium tax returns for the three-year period ended December 31, 2012. The auditor’s proposed adjustments primarily relate to the Department’s proposed disallowance of the entire amount of $1,754 in Florida salary credits applicable to that period. The proposed adjustment, which includes interest through September 10, 2013, approximates $1,913. The Company did not agree with the proposed adjustment and notified the Department of its intention to protest the Department’s position. While the Company remains confident in the merits of its position in claiming the Florida salary credits, management continued to hold discussions with Department staff throughout 2014 and during the first two quarters of 2015. The Company believes it has reached an agreement in principle towards resolution of this matter. The pending resolution entails having certain subsidiaries individually file and pay state reemployment taxes plus interest covering the periods under audit through the second quarter of 2014. The Company believes the payroll of certain of these subsidiaries then will continue to qualify for substantially all of the salary tax credits claimed by the Company. The incremental reemployment taxes due to the Department as a result of the subsidiaries’ separate reemployment tax filings will be netted against amounts refundable to the parent for the

same periods during which the parent filed and paid state reemployment taxes as a single payer. As such, and based on the current status and expected resolution, the Company has accrued a net amount of approximately $140 as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 related to this contingency.

Note 14 — Related Party Transactions

With respect to the period from June 1, 2015 through May 31, 2016, Oxbridge assumed $11,600 of the total covered exposure for $3,340 in premiums. The premiums charged by Oxbridge are at rates which management believes to be competitive with market rates available to Claddaugh. Oxbridge has deposited funds into a trust account to satisfy certain collateral requirements under its reinsurance contract with Claddaugh. Trust assets may be withdrawn by HCPCI, the trust beneficiary, in the event amounts are due under the Oxbridge reinsurance agreements. Among the Oxbridge shareholders are Paresh Patel, the Company’s chief executive officer, who is also chairman of the board of directors for Oxbridge, and members of his immediate family and three of the Company’s non-employee directors including Sanjay Madhu who serves as Oxbridge’s president and chief executive officer.

Prior to June 1, 2014, Claddaugh also had one reinsurance treaty with Moksha Re SPC Ltd. and multiple capital partners whereby a portion of the business assumed from HCPCI was ceded by Claddaugh to Moksha. With respect to the period from June 1, 2013 through May 31, 2014, Moksha assumed approximately $15,400 of the total covered exposure for approximately $4,300 in premiums, a rate which management believes to be competitive with market rates available to Claddaugh. The $4,300 premium was fully paid by Claddaugh on June 27, 2013. Moksha deposited funds into a trust account to satisfy certain collateral requirements under its reinsurance contract with Claddaugh. Among the Moksha capital partner participants are the Company’s chief executive officer, Paresh Patel, and certain of his immediate family members and Sanjay Madhu, one of the Company’s non-employee directors. This agreement terminated effective May 31, 2014 and has not been renewed.

Based on our organizational structure, revenue sources, and evaluation of financial and operating performances by management, we manage our operations under one business segment, which includes the following operations:

| a) | Insurance Operations

| • |  | Property and casualty insurance

| • |  | Reinsurance

| b) | Other Operations

| • |  | Information technology

| • |  | Real estate

##### Table of Contents

For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, revenues from property and casualty insurance operations represented 95.4% and 95.6%, respectively, of total revenues of all operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, revenues from property and casualty insurance operations represented 96.2% and 95.9%, respectively, of total revenues of all operations. As a result, our property and casualty insurance operations are our only reportable operating segment.

Insurance Operations

Property and Casualty Insurance

Our principal operating subsidiary, Homeowners Choice Property & Casualty Insurance Company, Inc. (“HCPCI”), is a leading provider of property and casualty insurance in the state of Florida. HCPCI along with certain of our other subsidiaries currently provides property and casualty insurance to homeowners, condominium owners, and tenants in the state of Florida. Since 2014, HCPCI has offered flood-endorsed and wind-only policies to eligible new and pre-existing Florida customers. HCPCI strives to offer insurance products at competitive rates, while pursuing profitability using selective underwriting criteria.

HCPCI began operations in Florida in 2007 by participating in a “take-out program,” which is a legislatively mandated program designed to encourage private insurance companies to assume policies from Citizens Property Insurance Corporation (“Citizens”), a Florida state-supported insurer. Our growth since inception has resulted primarily from a series of policy assumptions. This growth track has been beneficial to us but may not continue as we experience intense competition in the Florida market. Even though expanding our policyholder base through opportunistic assumptions may continue to be important to our growth plan, we plan to seek other opportunities to expand and to provide new or additional product offerings in and outside the state of Florida.

Reinsurance

We have a Bermuda domiciled wholly-owned reinsurance subsidiary, Claddaugh Casualty Insurance Company Ltd. We selectively retain risk in Claddaugh, displacing the need for HCPCI to pay premiums to third party reinsurers. Claddaugh fully collateralizes its exposure to HCPCI by depositing funds into a trust account. Claddaugh also mitigates a portion of its risk through one retrocession contract.

Other Operations

Real Estate

Our real estate operations consist of real properties we own, operations located at those owned properties and three commercial development projects.

Our owned real estate consists of our headquarters building in Tampa, Florida, our secondary insurance operations site in Ocala, Florida and investment properties located in Treasure Island, Florida and Tierra Verde, Florida. At our headquarters, we lease available space to non-affiliates at various terms. The Ocala location, in addition to day to day operational use, serves as our alternative site in the event we experience any significant disruption at our headquarters building. The investment properties have a combined 20 acres of waterfront and include one full-service restaurant and two marinas The combined marina facilities offer to the general public: a) one dry-stack boat storage facility with capacity for approximately 305 boats; b) approximately 64 wet slips; c) two fuel facilities; and d) open areas for parking and storage. Dry-stack boat storage space is generally rented on a monthly or annual basis while the wet slips are rented on a daily or monthly basis. We acquired the restaurant and marina operations in connection with our purchase of those properties and we continue to operate them.

##### Table of Contents

We have one ongoing real estate development and construction project in which our involvement is through the acquisition, development and construction loan arrangement (“ADC Arrangement”). Under the ADC Arrangement, we are committed to provide financing for up to a maximum of $10,200,000 for the acquisition, development and construction of a retail shopping center. We also have two real estate development projects through joint venture arrangements, one in which we have a 90% non-controlling equity interest and another which we consolidate with our operations. See Note 3 — “Investments” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

Information Technology

Our information technology operations include a team of experienced software developers with extensive knowledge in developing web-based products and applications for mobile devices. The operations, which are in Noida, India and Tampa, Florida, are focused on developing cloud-based, innovative products or services that can be marketed to the public in addition to providing back-office technology support services designed to facilitate and improve our ongoing operations. Some of the technologies originally developed in-house for our own insurance operations have been launched for use by third parties. These products include the following.

| • |  | ExzeoTM - a cloud-based application that provides automation and intelligence across multiple business processes.

| • |  | PropletTM - an interactive tool for insurance agents to search a property’s insurance-related information.

| • |  | Atlas Viewer - an interactive cloud-based data mapping and visualization application.

Recent Events

On July 16, 2015, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.30 per common share. The dividends are payable on September 18, 2015 to stockholders of record on August 21, 2015.

Comparison of the Three Months ended June 30, 2015 with the Three Months ended June 30, 2014

Our results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2015 reflect income available to common stockholders of $22,022,000, or $1.93 earnings per diluted common share, compared with $16,431,000, or $1.39 earnings per diluted common share, for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Revenue

Gross Premiums Earned for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were approximately $107,765,000 and $91,221,000, respectively. The $16,544,000 increase over the corresponding period in 2014 was primarily attributable to the assumption from Citizens of approximately 6,000 homeowners multi-peril policies and approximately 30,000 wind-only policies in December 2014 and the assumption of 4,000 primarily homeowners multi-peril policies in February 2015. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, gross premiums earned included approximately $18,066,000 and $2,502,000 from the December 2014 and February 2015 assumptions, respectively.

Premiums Ceded for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were approximately $31,378,000 and $28,572,000, respectively, representing 29.1% and 31.3%, respectively, of gross premiums earned. The decrease in net ceded premiums as a percentage of gross earned premium is primarily attributable to the aforementioned assumption of wind-only policies in December 2014, which accounted for approximately $15,322,000 in gross premiums earned during the three months ended June 30, 2015. Because this assumption transaction was completed outside of hurricane season, we elected not to buy additional catastrophe reinsurance until June 1, 2015, which is when our reinsurance treaties became effective for the 2015/2016 hurricane season. As such, the three-month period ended June 30, 2015 includes only one month of reinsurance coverage applicable to the December 2014 assumption, resulting in a lower ratio of net ceded premiums to gross premiums earned. For each of the remaining two quarters of 2015, we expect net ceded premiums will be in the range of $40,000,000 to $42,000,000 as these quarters will reflect the full impact of our current reinsurance program.

Our premiums ceded represent amounts paid to reinsurers to cover losses from catastrophes that exceed the retention levels defined by our catastrophe excess of loss reinsurance treaties and to assume proportional share of losses defined in one quota share arrangement. For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, premiums ceded reflect reductions of approximately $6,241,000 and $5,056,000, respectively, related to the provisions under certain reinsurance contracts. See “Economic Impact of Reinsurance Contracts with Retrospective Provisions” under “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.” The rates we pay for reinsurance are based primarily on policy exposures reflected in gross premiums earned.

Net Premiums Written during the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 totaled approximately $123,932,000 and $112,348,000, respectively. Net premiums written represent the premiums charged on policies issued during a fiscal period less any applicable reinsurance costs.

Net Premiums Earned for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were approximately $76,387,000 and $62,649,000, respectively, and reflect the gross premiums earned less the appropriate reinsurance costs as described above.

##### Table of Contents

The following is a reconciliation of our total Net Premiums Written to Net Premiums Earned for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 (amounts in thousands):

|  | Three Months Ended |
|  | June 30, |
|  | 2015 |  |  | 2014 |
Net Premiums Written |  | $ | 123,932 |  |  | $ | 112,348 |
Increase in Unearned Premiums |  |  | (47,545 | ) |  |  | (49,699 | )
Net Premiums Earned |  | $ | 76,387 |  |  | $ | 62,649 |

Net Investment Income for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was approximately $1,795,000 and $1,481,000, respectively. The increase in 2015 is primarily due to the increase in our investments in available-for-sale securities.

Policy Fee Income for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was approximately $942,000 and $638,000, respectively. The increase from the corresponding period in 2014 is attributable to an increase in policy renewals.

Other-than-temporary impairment losses for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were approximately $293,000 and $0, respectively. During the quarter ended June 30, 2015, we recognized impairment losses specific to four equity securities. Each of these securities had been in an unrealized loss position for a length of time with no near term prospect for recovery.

Expenses

Our Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses amounted to approximately $20,565,000 and $18,383,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase is primarily due to an increase in the number of policies in force. See “Reserves for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses” under “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.”

Policy Acquisition and Other Underwriting Expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 of approximately $10,443,000 and $9,559,000, respectively, primarily reflect brokerage fees and the amortization of deferred acquisition costs related to commissions payable to agents for production and renewal of policies and premium taxes. The $884,000 increase from the corresponding period in 2014 is primarily attributable to commissions and premium taxes related to the policies assumed from Citizens that have renewed and are included in 2015 premiums.

Salaries and Wages for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were approximately $5,236,000 and $4,072,000, respectively. The $1,164,000 increase from the corresponding period in 2014 was primarily attributable to an increase in employee headcount. As of June 30, 2015, we had approximately 215 employees located at our offices in Florida compared with 176 employees as of June 30, 2014. We also had approximately 90 employees located in Noida, India at June 30, 2015 versus 82 at June 30, 2014.

Other Operating Expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were approximately $4,562,000 and $5,278,000, respectively. The $716,000 decrease is primarily attributable to an $863,000 decrease in stock-based compensation reduced by an increase in other administrative expenses.

##### Table of Contents

Income Tax Expense for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was approximately $13,561,000 and $9,953,000, respectively, for state, federal, and foreign income taxes resulting in an effective tax rate of 38.1% for 2015 and 37.7% for 2014.

Ratios:

The loss ratio applicable to the three months ended June 30, 2015 (losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred related to net premiums earned) was 26.9% compared with 29.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2014. Our wind-only policies, which we assumed from Citizens in December 2014, contributed to this year over year improvement. (See Gross Premiums Earned and Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses above).

The expense ratio applicable to the three months ended June 30, 2015 (defined as underwriting expenses, salaries and wages, interest and other operating expenses related to net premiums earned) was 30.0% compared with 34.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

The combined ratio (total of all expenses in relation to net premiums earned) is the measure of overall underwriting profitability before other income. Our combined ratio for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was 56.9% compared with 63.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Due to the impact our reinsurance costs have on net premiums earned from period to period, our management believes the combined ratio measured to gross premiums earned is more relevant in assessing overall performance. The combined ratio to gross premiums earned for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was 40.4% compared with 43.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Comparison of the Six Months ended June 30, 2015 with the Six Months ended June 30, 2014

Our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015 reflect income available to common stockholders of approximately $47,400,000, or $4.14 earnings per diluted common share, compared with approximately $34,054,000, or $2.84 earnings per diluted common share, for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Revenue

Gross Premiums Earned for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were approximately $217,332,000 and $185,109,000, respectively. The $32,223,000 increase over the corresponding period in 2014 was primarily attributable to the assumption of approximately 6,000 multi-peril homeowners policies and approximately 30,000 wind-only policies in December 2014 and the assumption of 4,000 primarily homeowners multi-peril policies in February 2015 from Citizens. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, gross premiums earned included approximately $42,776,000 and $3,757,000 from the December 2014 and February 2015 assumptions, respectively.

Premiums Ceded for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were approximately $59,217,000 and $56,080,000, respectively, representing 27.2% and 30.3%, respectively, of gross premiums earned. The decrease in net ceded premiums as a percentage of gross earned premium is primarily attributable to the aforementioned assumption of wind-only policies in December 2014, which accounted for approximately $36,667,000 in gross premiums earned during the six months ended June 30, 2015. Because this assumption transaction was completed outside of hurricane season, we elected not to buy additional catastrophe reinsurance until June 1, 2015, which is when our reinsurance treaties became effective for the 2015/2016 hurricane season. As such, the six-month

36

##### Table of Contents

period ended June 30, 2015 includes only one month of reinsurance coverage applicable to the December 2014 assumption, resulting in a lower ratio of net ceded premiums to gross premiums earned.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, premiums ceded include reductions of $12,614,000 and $10,540,000, respectively, that relate to the provisions under certain reinsurance contracts. See “Economic Impact of Reinsurance Contracts with Retrospective Provisions” under “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.” The rates we pay for reinsurance are based primarily on policy exposures reflected in gross premiums earned.

Net Premiums Written during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 totaled approximately $177,547,000 and $163,779,000, respectively. Net premiums written represent the premiums charged on policies issued during a fiscal period less any applicable reinsurance costs.

Net Premiums Earned for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were approximately $158,115,000 and $129,029,000, respectively, and reflect the gross premiums earned less the applicable reinsurance costs as described above.

The following is a reconciliation of our total Net Premiums Written to Net Premiums Earned for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 (amounts in thousands):

|  | Six Months Ended |
|  | June 30, |
|  | 2015 |  |  | 2014 |
Net Premiums Written |  | $ | 177,547 |  |  | $ | 163,779 |
Increase in Unearned Premiums |  |  | (19,432 | ) |  |  | (34,750 | )
Net Premiums Earned |  | $ | 158,115 |  |  | $ | 129,029 |

Net Investment Income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was approximately $3,204,000 and $2,540,000, respectively. The increase in 2015 is primarily due to the increase in our investment in available-for-sale securities.

Policy Fee Income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was approximately $1,483,000 and $895,000, respectively. The increase from the corresponding period in 2014 is primarily due to an increase in policy renewals.

Other-than-temporary impairment losses for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were approximately $1,983,000 and $0, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we recognized impairment losses specific to six equity securities.

Expenses

Our Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses amounted to approximately $39,604,000 and $36,948,000, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. See “Reserves for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses” under “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.”

Policy Acquisition and Other Underwriting Expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 of approximately $20,242,000 and $18,688,000, respectively, primarily reflect the amortization of deferred acquisition costs, commissions payable to agents for production and renewal of policies, premium taxes and brokerage fees. The $1,554,000 increase from the corresponding period in 2014 is primarily attributable to commissions and premium taxes related to the policies assumed from Citizens that have renewed and are included in 2015 premiums.

Salaries and Wages for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were approximately $10,134,000 and $8,257,000, respectively. The $1,877,000 increase from the corresponding period in 2014 was primarily attributable to an increase in employee headcount.

Other Operating Expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were approximately $9,329,000 and $10,632,000, respectively. The $1,303,000 decrease is primarily attributable to a $1,535,000 decrease in stock-based compensation reduced by an increase in other administrative expenses.

Income Tax Expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were $29,229,000 and $20,643,000, respectively, for state, federal, and foreign income taxes resulting in an effective tax rate of 38.1% for 2015 and 37.7% for 2014.

Ratios:

The loss ratio applicable to the six months ended June 30, 2015 was 25.0% compared with 28.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2014. (See Gross Premiums Earned and Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses above).

The expense ratio applicable to the six months ended June 30, 2015 was 28.5% compared with 33.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease in our expense ratio is primarily attributable to the decrease in 2015 specific to compensation and related costs and interest expense.

The combined ratio is the measure of overall underwriting profitability before other income. Our combined ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was 53.5% compared with 61.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Due to the impact our reinsurance costs have on net premiums earned from period to period, our management believes the combined ratio measured to gross premiums earned is more relevant in assessing overall performance. The combined ratio to gross premiums earned for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was 39.0% compared with 43.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Seasonality of Our Business

Our insurance business is seasonal in Florida, where we operate, as hurricanes and tropical storms typically occur during the period from June 1 through November 30 each year. With our reinsurance treaty year effective June 1 each year, any variation in the cost of our reinsurance, whether due to changes in reinsurance rates or changes in the total insured value of our policy base, or otherwise will occur and be reflected in our financial results beginning June 1 each year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Throughout our history, our liquidity requirements have been met through issuance of our common and preferred stock, debt offerings and funds from operations. We expect our future liquidity requirements will be met by funds from operations, primarily the cash received by insurance subsidiaries from premiums written and investment income. We may consider raising additional capital through debt and equity offerings to support our growth and future investment opportunities.

##### Table of Contents

Our insurance subsidiary, Homeowners Choice Property & Casualty Insurance Company, Inc., requires liquidity and adequate capital to meet ongoing obligations to policyholders and claimants and to fund operating expenses. In addition, we attempt to maintain adequate levels of liquidity and surplus to manage any differences between the duration of our liabilities and invested assets. In the insurance industry, cash collected for premiums from policies written is invested, interest and dividends are earned thereon, and losses and loss adjustment expenses are paid out over a period of years. This period of time varies by the circumstances surrounding each claim. Substantially all of our losses and loss adjustment expenses are fully settled and paid within approximately 100 days of the claim receipt date. Additional cash outflow occurs through payments of underwriting costs such as commissions, taxes, payroll, and general overhead expenses.

We believe that we maintain sufficient liquidity to pay claims and expenses, as well as to satisfy commitments in the event of unforeseen events such as reinsurer insolvencies, inadequate premium rates, or reserve deficiencies. We maintain a comprehensive reinsurance program at levels management considers adequate to diversify risk and safeguard our financial position.

In the future, we anticipate our primary use of funds will be to pay claims, reinsurance premiums, interest, and dividends and also to fund operating expenses. In addition, we intend to continue investing in real estate to maximize returns and diversify our sources of income, pursue acquisition opportunities, or consider other strategic opportunities.

Senior Notes

Our long-term debt at June 30, 2015 consisted of 8% Senior Notes due 2020 and 3.875% Senior Convertible Notes due 2019, which were issued for gross proceeds of $40,250,000 and $103,000,000, respectively. We make quarterly interest payments of $805,000 on the senior notes due 2020 with quarterly payments due on January 30, April 30, July 30 and October 30. We make semiannual interest payments of approximately $1,996,000 on the convertible notes with payments due in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year. See Note 6 — “Long-Term Debt” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

Limited Partnership Investments

Limited partnership investments consist of four private equity funds managed by their general partners. Three of these funds have unexpired capital commitments which are callable at the discretion of the fund’s general partner for funding new investments or expenses of the fund. At June 30, 2015, there is an aggregate unfunded capital balance of $22,231,000. See Limited Partnership Investments under Note 3 — “Investments” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

ADC Arrangement

We currently have an ADC Arrangement under which we agreed to provide financing for the acquisition, development and construction of a retail shopping center and appurtenant facilities. The maximum loan amount initially was $9,785,000 but increased to $10,200,000 during the first quarter of 2015. The increased financing is intended for use in acquiring additional land. At June 30, 2015, $4,112,000 of the commitment is available and unused.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Cash Flows for the Six months ended June 30, 2015

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was approximately $77,775,000, which consisted primarily of cash received from net premiums written less cash disbursed for operating expenses, losses and loss adjustment expenses and interest payments. Net cash used in investing activities of $110,954,000 was primarily due to the purchases of available-for-sale securities of $101,756,000, the funding of the ADC Arrangement of $3,285,000 and $20,628,000 used to fund the limited partnership investments, decreased by redemptions and repayments of fixed-maturity securities of $4,205,000, and the proceeds from sales of available-for-sale securities of $11,279,000. Net cash used in financing activities totaled $6,492,000, which was primarily due to $1,610,000 used in our share repurchase plan and $6,001,000 of net cash dividend payments, offset by $1,691,000 of tax benefits on stock-based compensation.

Cash Flows for the Six months ended June 30, 2014

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was approximately $59,930,000, which consisted primarily of cash received from net written premiums less cash disbursed for operating expenses, losses and loss adjustment expenses and interest payments. Net cash used in investing activities of $28,069,000 was primarily due to the purchases of available-for-sale securities of $52,523,000 and the funding of the ADC Arrangement of $2,591,000 decreased by redemptions and repayments of fixed-maturity securities of $1,630,000, and the proceeds from sales of available-for-sale securities of $25,892,000. Net cash used in financing activities totaled $23,223,000, which was primarily due to $17,810,000 used in our share repurchase plan and $5,977,000 of net cash dividend payments.

Investments

The main objective of our investment policy is to maximize our after-tax investment income with a reasonable level of risk given the current financial market. Our excess cash is invested primarily in money market accounts and available-for-sale investments.

At June 30, 2015, we had $225,766,000 of available-for-sale investments, which are carried at fair value. Changes in the general interest rate environment affect the returns available on new fixed-maturity investments. While a rising interest rate environment enhances the returns available on new investments, it reduces the market value of existing fixed-maturity investments and thus the availability of gains on disposition. A decline in interest rates reduces the returns available on new fixed-maturity investments but increases the market value of existing fixed-maturity investments, creating the opportunity for realized investment gains on disposition.

##### Table of Contents

With the exception of large national banks, it is our current policy not to maintain cash deposits of more than an aggregate of $10,000,000 in any one bank at any time. From time to time, we may have in excess of $10,000,000 of cash designated for investment and on deposit at a single national brokerage firm. In the future, we may alter our investment policy as to investments in federal, state and municipal obligations, preferred and common equity securities and real estate mortgages, as permitted by applicable law, including insurance regulations.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We are contractually committed to provide financing for the acquisition, development and construction of one real estate property and to provide capital contributions for limited partnership interests (which are referred to herein as the ADC Arrangement and the Limited Partnership Investments, respectively). Such commitments are not recognized in the financial statements but are required to be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. See Note 13 — “Commitments and Contingencies” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Contractual Obligations and Commitment below for additional information.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

We have prepared our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make judgments, assumptions and estimates to develop amounts reflected and disclosed in our consolidated financial statements. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates and such differences may be material.

41

##### Table of Contents

We believe our critical accounting policies and estimates are those related to losses and loss adjustment expenses, reinsurance with retrospective provisions, deferred income taxes, and stock-based compensation expense. These policies are critical to the portrayal of our financial condition and operating results. They require management to make judgments and estimates about inherently uncertain matters. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term are related to our losses and loss adjustment expense reserves, which include amounts estimated for claims incurred but not yet reported, income taxes and reinsurance contracts with retrospective provisions.

Reserves for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses

Our liability for losses and loss adjustment expense (“Reserves”) are specific to property insurance, which is HCPCI’s only line of business. The Reserves include both case reserves on reported claims and our reserves for incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) losses. At each period end date, the balance of our Reserves is based on our best estimate of the ultimate cost of each claim for those known cases and the IBNR loss reserves are estimated based primarily on our historical experience. Changes in the estimated liability are charged or credited to operations when the losses and loss adjustment expenses are adjusted.

The IBNR represents our estimate of the ultimate cost of all claims that have occurred but have not been reported to us, and in some cases may not yet be known to the insured, and future development of reported claims. Estimating the IBNR component of our Reserves involves considerable judgment on the part of management. At June 30, 2015, $26,428,000 of the total $54,329,000 we have reserved for losses and loss adjustment expenses is attributable to our estimate of IBNR. The remaining $27,901,000 relates to known cases which have been reported but not yet fully settled in which case we have booked a reserve based on our best estimate of the ultimate cost of each claim. At June 30, 2015, $17,357,000 of the $27,901,000 in reserves for known cases relates to claims incurred during prior years.

Our Reserves increased from $48,908,000 at December 31, 2014 to $54,329,000 at June 30, 2015. The $5,421,000 increase in our Reserves is comprised of $24,002,000 in new reserves specific to the 2015 loss year decreased by reductions in our Reserves of $13,267,000 for 2014 and $5,314,000 for 2013 and prior loss years. The $24,002,000 in Reserves established for 2015 claims is primarily due to the increase in our policy count and exposures. The decrease of $18,581,000 specific to our 2014 and prior loss-year reserves is due to settlement of claims related to those loss years. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we experienced adverse development of approximately $550,000 related to 2014 and prior loss years. Factors that are attributable to adverse development may include higher severity of claims than the severity of claims considered in establishing our Reserves, a higher number of new claims reported than anticipated, and actual case development less favorable than originally anticipated.

Based on all information known to us, we consider our Reserves at June 30, 2015 to be adequate to cover our claims for losses that have occurred as of that date including losses yet to be reported to us. However, these estimates must continually be reviewed by management as they are subject to significant variability and may be impacted by trends in claim severity and frequency or unusual exposures that have not yet been identified. As part of the process, we review historical data and consider various factors, including known and anticipated regulatory and legal developments,

42

##### Table of Contents

changes in social attitudes, inflation and economic conditions. As experience develops and other data becomes available, these estimates are revised, as required, resulting in increases or decreases to the existing unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses. Adjustments are reflected in the results of operations in the period in which they are made and the liabilities may deviate substantially from prior estimates.

Economic Impact of Reinsurance Contracts with Retrospective Provisions

Certain of our reinsurance contracts include retrospective provisions that adjust premiums, increase the amount of future coverage, or result in profit commissions in the event losses are minimal or zero. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, we will recognize an asset in the period in which the absence of loss experience gives rise to an increase in future coverage or obligates the reinsurer to pay cash or other consideration under the contract. In the event that a loss arises, we will derecognize such asset in the period in which a loss arises. Such adjustments to the asset, which accrue throughout the contract term, will negatively impact our operating results when a catastrophic loss event occurs during the contract term.

For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we accrued benefits of $5,989,000 and $4,007,000, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, we deferred recognition of net ceded premiums of $252,000, representing $478,000 of ceded premiums deferred for the period decreased by amortization of $226,000 of previously deferred reinsurance costs for increased coverage. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, we deferred recognition of $1,049,000 in ceded premiums. For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, net reductions in ceded premiums totaled $6,241,000 and $5,056,000, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we accrued benefits of $12,368,000 and $7,995,000, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, we deferred recognition of net ceded premiums of $246,000, representing $538,000 of ceded premiums deferred for the period decreased by amortization of $292,000 of previously deferred reinsurance costs for increased coverage. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, we deferred recognition of $2,545,000 in ceded premiums. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, net reductions in ceded premiums totaled $12,614,000 and $10,540,000, respectively.

As of June 30, 2015, we had $40,492,000 of accrued benefits and $6,702,000 of ceded premiums deferred, amounts that would be charged to earnings in the event we experience a catastrophic loss that exceeds the coverage limits provided under such agreements and in the period that the increased coverage is applicable. At December 31, 2014, we had $28,123,000 of accrued benefits and $6,456,000 of ceded premiums deferred related to these agreements. We believe the credit risk associated with the collectability of these accrued benefits is minimal based on available information about the individual reinsurer’s financial position.

In addition to Reserves and reinsurance contracts, we believe our accounting policies for deferred income taxes and stock-based compensation expense involve our most significant judgments and estimates material to our consolidated financial statements. These accounting estimates and related risks that we consider to be our critical accounting estimates are more fully described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, which we filed with the SEC on March 10, 2015. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, there have been no material changes with respect to any of our critical accounting policies.

##### Table of Contents

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, resulting in two components of income tax expense: current and deferred. Current income tax expense reflects taxes to be paid or refunded for the current period by applying the provisions of the enacted tax law to the taxable income or excess of deductions over revenues. We determine deferred income taxes using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is based on the tax effects of the differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and enacted changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period in which they occur. Valuation allowances are provided against assets that are not likely to be realized, if any. We have elected to classify interest and penalties, if any, as income tax expense as permitted by current accounting standards.

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for our stock options and restricted stock under the fair value recognition provisions of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require the measurement, and recognition of compensation for all stock-based awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values. In general, we recognize stock-based compensation in the consolidated statements of income on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. For stock purchase options, we use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires the following variables to calculate the fair value of each stock option on the grant date: 1) expected volatility of our stock price, 2) the risk-free interest rate, 3) expected term of each award, 4) expected dividends, and 5) an expected forfeiture rate. However, for restricted stock awards with market-based conditions, we estimate their fair values by using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which requires input of the following variables: 1) expected dividends per share, 2) expected volatility, 3) risk-free interest rate, 4) estimated cost of capital, and 5) expected term of each award.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

For information with respect to recent accounting pronouncements and the impact of these pronouncements on our consolidated financial statements, see Note 2 to our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).

ITEM 3 | – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our investment portfolio at June 30, 2015 included fixed-maturity and equity securities, the purposes of which are not for trading or speculation. Our main objective is to maximize after-tax investment income and maintain sufficient liquidity to meet policyholder obligations while minimizing market risk, which is the potential economic loss from adverse fluctuations in securities prices. We consider many factors including credit ratings, investment concentrations, regulatory requirements, anticipated fluctuation of interest rates, durations and market conditions in developing investment strategies. Our investment securities are managed primarily by investment companies and are overseen by the investment committee appointed by our board of directors.

Our investment portfolios are primarily exposed to interest rate risk, credit risk and equity price risk. Fiscal and economic uncertainties caused by any government action or inaction may exacerbate these risks and potentially have adverse impacts on the value of our investment portfolios.

44

##### Table of Contents

We classify our fixed-maturity and equity securities as available-for-sale and report any unrealized gains or losses, net of deferred income taxes, as a component of other comprehensive income within our stockholders’ equity. As such, any material temporary changes in their fair value can adversely impact the carrying value of our stockholders’ equity.

Interest Rate Risk

Our fixed-maturity securities are sensitive to potential losses resulting from unfavorable changes in interest rates. We manage the risk by analyzing anticipated movement in interest rates and considering our future capital needs.

The following table illustrates the impact of hypothetical changes in interest rates to the fair value of our fixed-maturity securities at June 30, 2015 (amounts in thousands):

Hypothetical Change in Interest Rates |  | Estimated Fair Value |  |  | Change in Estimated Fair Value |  |  | Percentage Increase (Decrease) in Estimated Fair Value |
300 basis point increase |  | $ | 143,927 |  |  | $ | (21,508 | ) |  |  | (13.00 | )%
200 basis point increase |  |  | 151,096 |  |  |  | (14,339 | ) |  |  | (8.67 | )%
100 basis point increase |  |  | 158,265 |  |  |  | (7,170 | ) |  |  | (4.33 | )%
100 basis point decrease |  |  | 172,568 |  |  |  | 7,133 |  |  |  | 4.31 | %
200 basis point decrease |  |  | 179,156 |  |  |  | 13,721 |  |  |  | 8.29 | %
300 basis point decrease |  |  | 184,127 |  |  |  | 18,692 |  |  |  | 11.30 | %

Credit Risk

Credit risk can expose us to potential losses arising principally from adverse changes in the financial condition of the issuers of our fixed-maturity securities. We mitigate the risk by investing in fixed-maturity securities that are primarily investment grade and by diversifying our investment portfolio to avoid concentrations in any single issuer or business sector.

The following table presents the composition of our fixed-maturity securities, by rating, at June 30, 2015 (amounts in thousands):

Comparable Rating |  | Amortized Cost |  |  | % of Total Amortized Cost |  |  | Estimated Fair Value |  |  | % of Total Estimated Fair Value |

##### Table of Contents

Equity Price Risk

Our equity investment portfolio at June 30, 2015 included common stocks, perpetual preferred stocks, mutual funds and exchange traded funds. We may incur potential losses due to adverse changes in equity security prices. We manage the risk primarily through industry and issuer diversification and asset allocation techniques.

The following table illustrates the composition of our equity securities at June 30, 2015 (amounts in thousands):

|  | Estimated Fair Value |  |  | % of Total Estimated Fair Value |

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

At June 30, 2015, we did not have any material exposure to foreign currency related risk.

ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer (our principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer (our principal financial officer), we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, and, based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, implementation of possible controls and procedures depends on management’s judgment in evaluating their benefits relative to costs.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is a party to claims and legal actions arising routinely in the ordinary course of our business. Although we cannot predict with certainty the ultimate resolution of the claims and lawsuits asserted against us, we do not believe that any currently pending legal proceedings to which we are a party will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

We have received three letters dated July 29, 2014, December 10, 2014 and December 12, 2014, each sent by attorneys on behalf of one of three different shareholders, demanding that our board of directors take actions to rescind portions of compensation attributable to our chief executive officer and certain of our directors. As of the date this Form 10-Q was filed with the SEC, the board of directors has not taken any of the demanded actions and no lawsuits have been filed in connection with those demands. Although we cannot predict with certainty the ultimate resolution of these demands or any legal proceedings that might arise in connection with them, we do not believe any such resolution will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 1A – RISK FACTORS

With the exception of the item described below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, which was filed with the SEC on March 10, 2015.

Our historical revenue growth was derived primarily through policy assumptions from Citizens and the acquisition of policies from HomeWise. We cannot guarantee that future policy assumptions and acquisitions will be available to the extent they have in the past.

Substantially all of our historical revenue has been generated from policies assumed from Citizens, our acquisition of policies from HomeWise and subsequent renewals of these policies. Our ability to grow our premium base may depend upon the availability of future policy assumptions from Citizens or other acquisitions upon acceptable terms. We cannot assure that such opportunities will arise. Our past assumptions have contained provisions requiring us to offer renewals to all policyholders for three years from the date of first renewal. Premium rates may change but are limited to rates approved by state regulatory authorities applicable to our entire portfolio of policies.

Working Capital Restrictions and Other Limitations on Payment of Dividends

We are not subject to working capital restrictions or other limitations on the payment of dividends. Our insurance subsidiary, however, is subject to restrictions on the dividends it may pay. Those restrictions could impact HCI’s ability to pay future dividends.

Under Florida law, a domestic insurer such as our insurance subsidiary, HCPCI, may not pay any dividend or distribute cash or other property to its stockholder except out of that part of its available and accumulated capital and surplus funds which is derived from realized net operating profits on its business and net realized capital gains. Additionally, Florida statutes preclude our insurance subsidiary from making dividend payments or distributions to its stockholder, HCI, without prior approval of the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation if the dividend or distribution would exceed the larger of (1) the lesser of (a) 10.0% of its capital surplus or (b) net income, not including realized capital gains, plus a two year carry forward, (2) 10.0% of capital surplus with dividends payable constrained to unassigned funds minus 25% of unrealized capital gains or (3) the lesser of (a) 10.0% of capital surplus or (b) net investment income plus a three year carry forward with dividends payable constrained to unassigned funds minus 25% of unrealized capital gains.

Alternatively, a Florida domestic insurer may pay a dividend or distribution without the prior written approval of the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (1) if the dividend is equal to or less than the greater of (a) 10.0% of the insurer’s capital surplus as regards policyholders derived from realized net operating profits on its business and net realized capital gains or (b) the insurer’s entire net operating profits and realized net capital gains derived during the immediately preceding calendar year, (2) the insurer will have policy holder capital surplus equal to or exceeding 115.0% of the minimum required statutory capital surplus after the dividend or distribution, (3) the insurer files a notice of the dividend or distribution with the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation at least ten business days prior to the dividend payment or distribution and (4) the notice includes a certification by an officer of the insurer attesting that, after the payment of the dividend or distribution, the insurer will have at least 115% of required statutory capital surplus as to policyholders. Except as provided above, a Florida domiciled insurer may only pay a dividend or make a distribution (1) subject to prior approval by the FLOIR or (2) 30 days after the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation has received notice of such dividend or distribution and has not disapproved it within such time.
