Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. BDO USA, LLP, a Delaware limited liability partnership, is the U.S. member of BDO International Limited, a UK company limited by guarantee, and forms part of the international BDO network of independent member firms.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Presentation of Consolidated Financial Statements The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash Cash and cash equivalents are essentially composed of cash and cash equivalents maturing in three months or less at the date of purchase. 12

NTALife Enterprises, LLC and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements BSG receives insurance premiums to be remitted to insurance companies on behalf of its customers or for the purpose of reimbursement to Cafeteria Plan participants. Such funds are held in separate accounts and are reported on the consolidated balance sheets as restricted cash. The following table summarizes the composition of total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, as presented on the statements of cash flows: December 31, 2018 2017 Cash and cash equivalents $ 24,161,363 $ 23,568,589 Restricted cash and cash equivalents 943,809 1,954,550 Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash $ 25,105,172 $ 25,523,139 Investments The Company classifies all fixed maturity investments and common and preferred stocks as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at estimated fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, less applicable income tax, are reported as a separate component of members’ equity until realized. Changes in unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, are included in other comprehensive income. Realized gains and losses on disposal of investments and declines in value considered to be other than temporary are determined on a specific identification basis and are included as a component of net income. The carrying value of fixed maturity investments are adjusted for impairments, which are declines in value that are considered to be other than temporary. When impairment of the value of an investment is considered other than temporary, the decrease in value is reported in net income as a realized investment loss and a new cost basis is established. The Company does not change the revised cost basis for subsequent recoveries in value. In evaluating whether a decline in value is other than temporary, the Company considers several factors including, but not limited to, the following: (1) whether the decline is substantial; (2) the duration of the loss; (3) the reasons for the decline in value (credit event, interest related or market fluctuations); (4) the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investments for a period of time to allow for a recovery of value; and (5) the financial condition of and near term prospects of the issuer. Fair Value Measurements The Company used the following levels of classification for investments reflected at fair value. The framework is based on the inputs used in valuation and gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and requires that observable inputs be used in the evaluations when available. The disclosure of fair value estimates is based on whether the significant inputs into the valuation are observable. In determining the level in which the estimate is disclosed, the highest priority is 13

NTALife Enterprises, LLC and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements given to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s significant market assumptions. The three levels used are as follows: Level 1 - Evaluation of market prices (non-adjusted) observed in active markets, for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 - Evaluation techniques based on data other than the market prices provided in Level 1, which are directly or indirectly observable in the market for assets or liabilities. Level 3 - Evaluation techniques based on a large share of parameters not observable in the market. Valuation of Investments Fixed maturity investments - The Company uses a nationally recognized pricing service to estimate fair value measurements for all of its bonds. The pricing service uses market prices observed in active markets, such as U.S. treasury securities, bonds from federal government, bonds of government owned companies, U.S. bonds and international corporations. If bonds are not traded on a daily basis, the pricing service prepares an estimate of the fair value measurement for these investments using valuation techniques and models that include, for instance, using recent arm’s length market transactions between knowledgeable, willing parties, reference to the current fair value of another instrument that is substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models. Data used by the pricing service in applying the valuation techniques represent reasonable market expectations and measures of the risk-return factors inherent to the financial instrument. If the pricing service cannot carry out the fair value measurement of an investment due to the lack of relevant data in the market, the Company produces an estimate of fair value using the same valuation techniques and models as the pricing service, by using assumptions for market data to be used that are not available under current market conditions. Depending on the data observed on the markets, the fair value estimate provided by the pricing service is included in the amounts disclosed in Level 1 or Level 2 of the hierarchy. Stocks - For stocks of public companies, the Company receives market prices from a pricing service and includes these fair value estimates in the amounts disclosed in Level 1 for common stock and Level 2 for preferred stock. Common stock market prices obtained are based on actual recent arm’s length market transactions between knowledgeable, willing parties. Preferred stock market prices obtained are based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities other than quoted prices in Level 1; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Other invested assets – Represent a membership interest in a limited partnership that is recorded on the equity method basis. Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs Costs which vary with and are directly related to the successful acquisition of new business have been deferred to the extent that such costs are deemed recoverable through future revenues. These deferred acquisition costs (DAC) include commissions, certain costs of policy issuance, and underwriting costs. DAC is amortized with interest over the estimated premium paying period in 14

NTALife Enterprises, LLC and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements proportion to the ratio of anticipated annual premium revenue to the anticipated total premium revenue, using the same mortality, morbidity, and withdrawal assumptions used in computing liabilities for future policy benefits. The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of DAC for indications that the balance may not be recoverable. Federal Income Taxes The Company files a consolidated return for all of its subsidiaries, other than the life insurance subsidiaries, with its parent, Ellard Family Holdings, Inc. NTA Life files a consolidated tax return with its wholly-owned subsidiary, NTA of New York. Deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences on future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts measured using the enacted tax rates and laws in effect at the measurement date. The Company periodically evaluates deferred income tax assets and recognizes a valuation allowance based on the estimate of the amount of such deferred tax assets which management believes does not meet the more likely than not recognition criteria. At December 31, 2018 management has concluded that no deferred income tax asset valuation allowance is necessary. Equity in unearned premium and advance premium Equity in unearned and advanced premium consists of premium taxes and commissions related to unearned and advanced premiums. Premium taxes and commissions have been paid or accrued on the unearned and advanced premiums, a corresponding asset is set up as an offset. Future Policy Benefit Reserves The aggregate reserves for future policy benefits is an estimate of the present value of the future benefits to be provided under life, accident and health insurance policies and are actuarially computed in accordance with Accounting Standards Codifications (ASC) 944, Financial Services - Insurance. Policy and Contract Claims Policy and contract claims include provisions for claims reported to the Company plus an estimated accrual for claims incurred but not reported based on prior experience of the Company. Changes in the estimated claim liability are reflected in current operating results. While management of the Company believes that the estimated liability for policy and contract claims is adequate, such estimates may be more or less than the amounts ultimately paid when the claims are settled. Reinsurance Balances Receivable Amounts recoverable from reinsurers, including amounts equal to the assets supporting insurance liabilities ceded to reinsurers and amounts due for the reimbursement of related benefit payments and commission allowances, are reflected as reinsurance balances receivable. Reinsurance balances receivable are evaluated as to their collectability and, if appropriate, reserves for doubtful collectability are established through a charge to earnings. 15

NTALife Enterprises, LLC and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Agent Advance The Company advances a portion of the first-year commission when policies are written. The advance is recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as an asset. As policies continue in force, a portion of the advance is earned and is recognized as commission expense. If policies cancel, any remaining advance balance is recovered through the reduction of commissions owed to the agent. A provision has been established for advances that may not be recouped. Premiums Due Premiums due represent premiums that have not been received as of the statement date and are shown net of an allowance for uncollectibility. Premium Income Life insurance premiums on traditional life policies are reported as earned when due through the anniversary date of the policy. Premium income on accident and health insurance is earned over the term of the policies. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation has been calculated using the straight-line method and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the related assets of 3 to 15 years. The Company evaluates impairment of its property and equipment annually. All items deemed to be impaired are charged to expense in the year in which the impairment occurs. Commission Income The Agency receives commission income from non-affiliated insurers on a monthly basis. The commission income is in a run off mode as no new policies are sold for the insurers. Other Comprehensive Income Accumulated other comprehensive income is included within members’ equity in the accompanying balance sheet and consists of changes in members’ equity resulting from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive income as reported in the accompanying balance sheets represents unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, net of applicable income taxes. Guaranty Fund and Other Assessments Assessments that are available to offset against future premium taxes are capitalized when incurred. The asset is then reduced for credits taken against premium taxes for up to five years. Assessments not available as an offset against future premium taxes are charged directly to expense when incurred. Cash Flows For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company includes cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. 16

NTALife Enterprises, LLC and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the year. The most significant estimates include those used in determining the fair value of investments, liabilities for future policy benefit reserves and policy and contract claims and related reinsurance recoveries, and deferred acquisition costs. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Although some variability is inherent in these estimates, the Company believes that the amounts presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are appropriate.

NTALife Enterprises, LLC and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Through the Company’s comprehensive evaluation, management concluded that the unrealized losses at December 31, 2018 and 2017 were caused by interest rate and temporary market fluctuations. At December 31, 2018, the aggregate of unrealized losses related to securities rated below investment grade was not material. Based on the Company’s impairment review process, the decline in value of these investments is not considered to be other-than-temporary. The Company has no securities with an other-than-temporary impairment wherein the Company has (a) an intent to sell or (b) an inability or lack of intent to retain the investment in the security for a period of time sufficient to recover the amortized cost basis. The amortized cost and estimated fair value of bonds at December 31, 2018, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

NTALife Enterprises, LLC and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements NTA Life held one loan participation for $1.9 million that was placed into default by Lincoln Capital Management due to the borrower’s failure to begin the contemplated construction project. The mortgage is secured by a first-lien interest in real property that is marketable and valued at approximately $3.0 million, well in excess of the outstanding loan balance with the originator.

Federal Income Taxes On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the Act) was signed into law. Among other things, beginning with the 2018 tax year, the Act reduced the Company’s corporate federal tax rate from a marginal rate of 35% to a flat 21%, eliminated the corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT), changed reserving and other aspects of the computation of taxable income for insurance companies, and modified the net operating loss carryback and carryforward provisions for all entities in the group. The modified net operating loss provisions no longer allow a carryback to prior years to recover past taxes, but now allow an indefinite carryforward period subject to yearly utilization limit.

As of and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the amount ceded by the Company under various reinsurance agreements was as follows: 2018 2017 Aggregate reserves credit taken for life policies $ 1,084,337 $ 947,912 Premiums ceded 383,483 565,445 Death benefits recovered 85,000 25,000 25

The capital adequacy at December 31, 2018 and 2017 was in excess of RBC required amounts. 9. Retirement Savings Plan The employees of MAN participate in a retirement savings plan under Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the United States Internal Revenue Code (IRC) of 1954, as amended.

NTALife Enterprises, LLC and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of directors based on a percentage of the employee’s eligible salary deferral contribution.

Following are the most significant risks facing the Company: Legal Regulatory Risk – the risk that changes in the legal or regulatory environment in which the company operates will change and create additional expense not anticipated by the company. Credit Risk – the risk that issuers of securities owned by the insurance subsidiaries will default, or other parties including reinsurers that owe money, will not pay. The insurance subsidiaries minimize this risk by adhering to a conservative investment strategy and by contracting with reinsurance companies that meet certain rating criteria and other qualifications. Interest Rate Risk – the risk that interest rates will change and cause a decrease in the value of the insurance subsidiaries investments. The risk is mitigated by attempting to match the maturity schedule of its investments with the expected payout of its liabilities. To the extent that liabilities come due more quickly than investments mature, the insurance subsidiaries would have to sell investments prior to maturity and recognize a gain or loss. 11. Affiliated Companies and Related Party Transactions The member capital of the Company is owned by Ellard Family Holdings, Inc.
