NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)


1. Organization and Business

HC2 Holdings, Inc. (“HC2” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”, “we” and “our”) is a diversified holding company which seeks to acquire and grow attractive businesses that it believes can generate long-term sustainable free cash flow and attractive returns. While the Company generally intends to acquire controlling equity interests in its operating subsidiaries, the Company also invests to a more limited extent in a variety of debt instruments or noncontrolling equity interest positions. The Company’s shares of common stock trade on the NYSE MKT LLC under the symbol “HCHC”.

The Company currently has seven reportable segments based on management’s organization of the enterprise—Manufacturing, Marine Services, Insurance, Utilities, Telecommunications, Life Sciences and Other which includes operations that do not meet the separately reportable segment thresholds.

1.Our Manufacturing segment includes Schuff International, Inc. ("Schuff") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Schuff is an integrated fabricator and erector of structural steel and heavy steel plates with headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regulations. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such principles and regulations. In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments (all of which are of a normal and recurring nature), which are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, cash flows and comprehensive income (loss) for the interim periods. The results for the Company’s three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Principles of Consolidation - The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and all other subsidiaries over which the Company exerts control. All intercompany profits, transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. As of March 31, 2016, the Company has a 100% interest in the Insurance Companies, a 97% interest in GMSL, a 91% interest in Schuff, a 55% interest in ANG and a 72% interest in DMi, Inc. Through its subsidiary, Pansend, the Company has a 77% interest in Genovel Orthopedics, Inc., a 61% interest in R2 Dermatology and a 60% interest in Benevir Biopharm, Inc. The results of each of these entities are consolidated with the Company’s results from and after their respective acquisition dates based on guidance from the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 810, “Consolidation” (“ASC 810”). The remaining interests not owned by the Company are presented as a noncontrolling interest component of total equity. Schuff uses a 4-4-5 week quarterly cycle, which for the first quarter of 2016 ended on April 2, 2016.

Reclassification - Certain previous year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentations related to the reporting of new financial statement line items.

Newly Adopted Accounting Principles

In September 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-16, “Business Combination Topic No. 805: Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement - Period Adjustments”, which requires adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period to be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. This includes any effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted this update, which did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, “Interest - Imputation of Interest Subtopic No. 835-30: Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements”, which codifies an SEC staff announcement that entities are permitted to defer and present debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements as assets, rather than as a direct offset to the liability as is required now under ASU 2015-03. On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted this update, which did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In July, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-12, "(Part I) Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts, (Part II) Plan Investment Disclosures, (Part III) Measurement Date Practical Expedient". Part I of this ASU is related to one area of several potential simplifications for employee benefit plans and designates contract value as the only required measure for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts, which maintains the relevant information while reducing the cost and complexity of reporting for fully benefit responsive investment contracts. On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted this update, which did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May, 2015, the FASB has issued ASU 2015-9, "Disclosures About Short-Duration Contracts". This ASU requires insurance entities to disclose for annual reporting periods the certain information the liability for unpaid claims and claim adjustment expenses. On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted this update, which did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-8, “Business Combinations Topic No. 805: Pushdown Accounting-Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 115 (SEC Update)”, which rescinds certain SEC guidance in order

10
HC2 HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

to confirm with ASU 2014-17, “Pushdown Accounting” (“ASU 2014-17”). ASU 2014-17 was issued in November 2014 and provides a reporting entity that is a business or nonprofit activity (an “acquiree”) the option to apply pushdown accounting to its separate financial statements when an acquirer obtains control of the acquiree. On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted this update, which did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-07, "Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent)". The amendments in this ASU remove the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient. The amendments also remove the requirement to make certain disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient. Rather, those disclosures are limited to investments for which the entity has elected to measure the fair value using that practical expedient. On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted this update, which did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-2, “Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis”, which amends the consolidation requirements in ASC 810 and significantly changes the consolidation analysis required under U.S. GAAP relating to whether or not to consolidate certain legal entities. On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted this update, which did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-1, “Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items”, which eliminates the concept from U.S. GAAP the concept of an extraordinary item. Under the ASU, an entity will no longer (1) segregate an extraordinary item from the results of ordinary operations; (2) separately present an extraordinary item on its income statement, net of tax, after income from continuing operations; or (3) disclose income taxes and earnings-per-share data applicable to an extraordinary item. On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted this update, which did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" (Topic 718), which introduces targeted amendments intended to simplify the accounting for stock compensation. Specifically, the ASU requires all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies (including tax benefits of dividends on share-based payment awards) to be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement. Early adoption is permitted. The Company's effective date for adoption is January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the accounting update on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, "Principal versus Agent Considerations" (Topic 606), which updates the new revenue standard by clarifying the principal versus agent implementation guidance. Early adoption is permitted. The Company's effective date for adoption is January 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the accounting update on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, "Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting" (Topic 323), which requires an investor to initially apply the equity method of accounting from the date it qualifies for that method, i.e., the date the investor obtains significant influence over the operating and financial policies of an investee. The ASU eliminates the previous requirement to retroactively adjust the investment and record a cumulative catch up for the periods that the investment had been held, but did not qualify for the equity method of accounting. Early adoption is permitted. The Company's effective date for adoption is January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the accounting update on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-06, "Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments" (Topic 815), which addresses how an entity should assess whether contingent call (put) options that can accelerate the payment of debt instruments are clearly and closely related to their debt hosts. This assessment is necessary to determine if the option(s) must be separately accounted for as a derivative. The ASU clarifies that an entity is required to assess the embedded call (put) options solely in accordance with a specific four-step decision sequence. This means entities are not also required to assess whether the contingency for exercising the option(s) is indexed to interest rates or credit risk. For example, when evaluating debt instruments puttable upon a change in control, the event triggering the change in control is not relevant to the assessment. Only the resulting settlement of debt is subject to the four-step decision sequence. Early adoption is permitted. The Company's effective date for adoption is January

(Unaudited)

1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the accounting update on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-05, "Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships" (Topic 815), which requires an entity to discontinue a designated hedging relationship in certain circumstances, including termination of the derivative hedging instrument or if the entity wishes to change any of the critical terms of the hedging relationship. ASU 2016-05 amends Topic 815 to clarify that novation of a derivative (replacing one of the parties to a derivative instrument with a new party) designated as the hedging instrument would not, in and of itself, be considered a termination of the derivative instrument or a change in critical terms requiring discontinuation of the designated hedging relationship. Early adoption is permitted. The Company's effective date for adoption is January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the accounting update on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases" (Topic 842), which applies a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record, for all leases with a lease term of more than 12 months, an asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a liability to make lease payments. The ASU requires a lessor to classify leases as either sales-type, direct financing or operating, similar to existing U.S. GAAP. Classification depends on the same five criteria used by lessees plus certain additional factors. The new leases standard addresses other considerations including identification of a lease, separating lease and nonlease components of a contract, sale and leaseback transactions, modifications, combining contracts, reassessment of the lease term, and remeasurement of lease payments. Early adoption is permitted. The Company’s effective date for adoption is January 1, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting update on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities" (Topic 825-10) which, among other things, will require all equity securities currently classified as “available for sale” to be reported at fair value, with holding gains and losses recognized in net income instead of accumulated other comprehensive income. Certain provisions of the ASU are eligible for early adoption. The Company’s effective date for adoption is January 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting update on its consolidated financial statements.
 
3. Business Combinations

The Company’s acquisitions were accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting which requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Estimates of fair value included in the condensed consolidated financial statements, in conformity with ASC No. 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), represent the Company’s best estimates and valuations developed with the assistance of independent appraisers and, where such valuations have not yet been completed or are not available, industry data and trends and by reference to relevant market rates and transactions. The following estimates and assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies beyond the control of the Company. Accordingly, the Company cannot provide assurance that the estimates, assumptions, and values reflected in the valuations will be realized, and actual results could vary materially.

Any changes to the initial estimates of the fair value of the assets and liabilities will be recorded as adjustments to those assets and liabilities and residual amounts will be allocated to goodwill. In accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations”, if additional information is obtained about these assets and liabilities within the measurement period (not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition), including finalization of asset appraisals, the Company will refine its estimates of fair value to allocate the purchase price more accurately.

Insurance Companies

On December 24, 2015, the Company completed the acquisitions of 100% of the interests in the Insurance Companies as well as all assets owned by the sellers of the Insurance Companies or their affiliates that are used exclusively or primarily in the business of the Insurance Companies, subject to certain exceptions. The operations of the Insurance Companies were consolidated into our insurance operating segment, with a plan to leverage their existing platform and industry expertise to identify strategic growth opportunities for managing closed blocks of long-term care business.

The values of intangibles, life, accident and health reserves, annuity reserves, and value of business acquired are estimates and might change.

The acquisition of the Insurance Companies resulted in goodwill of approximately $46.4 million. Goodwill was the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. The Insurance Companies were recognized as a new stand-alone reporting unit. Goodwill is not amortized and is not deductible for tax purposes.

The Value of Business Acquired ("VOBA")

The VOBA was derived using a “Becker-ized” Present Value of Distributable Earnings (“PVDE”) method. The PVDE was derived using the statutory after tax profits. The VOBA was valued at $51.9 million and is amortized over the anticipated remaining

13
HC2 HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

future lifetime of the acquired long term care blocks of business.  VOBA is amortized in relation to the projected future premium of the acquired long term care blocks of business.

Reinsurance Recoverable

The reinsurance recoverable balance represents amounts recoverable from third party. U.S. GAAP requires insurance reserves and reinsurance recoverable balances to be presented on a gross basis, as opposed to U.S. statutory accounting principles, where reserves are presented net of reinsurance. Accordingly, the Company grossed up the fair value of the net insurance contract liability for the amount of reinsurance of approximately $515.9 million, to arrive at a gross insurance liability, and recognized an offsetting reinsurance recoverable amount of approximately $515.9 million. As part of this process, management considered reinsurance counterparty credit risk and considers it to have an immaterial impact on the reinsurance fair value gross-up. To mitigate this risk substantially all reinsurance is ceded to companies with investment grade S&P ratings.
    
Amounts recoverable from reinsurers were estimated in a manner consistent with the liability associated with the reinsured policies and were an estimate of the reinsurance recoverable on paid and unpaid losses, including an estimate for losses incurred but not reported. Reinsurance recoverable represents expected cash inflows from reinsurers for liabilities ceded and therefore incorporate uncertainties as to the timing and amount of claim payments. Reinsurance recoverable includes the balances due from reinsurers under the terms of the reinsurance agreements for these ceded balances as well as settlement amounts currently due.

Contingent Liability

Pursuant to the purchase agreement, the Company also agreed to pay to the sellers, on an annual basis with respect to the years 2015 through 2019, the amount, if any, by which the Insurance Companies’ cash flow testing and premium deficiency reserves decrease from the amount of such reserves as of December 31, 2014. Such payments are capped at $13.0 million. The balance is calculated based on the fluctuation of the statutory cash flow testing and premium deficiency reserves annually following each of the Insurance Companies' filing with its domiciliary insurance regulator of its annual statutory statements for each calendar year ending December 31, 2015 through and including December 31, 2019. Based on the 2015 statutory statements, the Company does not have a payment due. Further, the Company's current estimate is that the obligation will not be incurred up through the year ended December 31, 2019. This expectation is primarily driven by the following factors (i) less confidence that treasury rates will be increasing back to historical averages any time soon; (ii) uncertainty around future operating expenses historically performed by sellers; and (iii) the premium deficiency reserve as reported at December 31, 2015 increased by approximately $8.0 million and because the balance is cumulative over the period, a decrease of approximately $8.0 million would be required first before there would be any obligation to the sellers. The Company will re-perform this assessment at each reporting period through December 31, 2019 or until the $13.0 million is paid in full.

Control Level Risk-Based Capital

In connection with the consummation of the acquisition, the Company has agreed with the Ohio Department of Insurance ("ODOI") that, for five years following the closing of the transaction, it will contribute to CGI cash or marketable securities acceptable to the ODOI to the extent required for CGI’s total adjusted capital to be not less than 400% of CGI’s authorized control level risk-based capital (each as defined under Ohio law and reported in CGI’s statutory statements filed with the ODOI). Similarly, the Company has agreed with the Texas Department of Insurance ("TDOI") that, for five years following the closing of the transaction, it will contribute to UTA cash or other admitted assets acceptable to the TDOI to the extent required for UTA’s total adjusted capital to be not less than 400% of UTA’s authorized control level risk-based capital (each as defined under Texas law and reported in UTA’s statutory statements filed with the TDOI).

Also in connection with the consummation of the acquisition, each of the Insurance Companies entered into a capital maintenance agreement with Great American Financial Resources, Inc., ("GAFRI") (each, a “Capital Maintenance Agreement”, and collectively, the “Capital Maintenance Agreements”). Under each Capital Maintenance Agreement, if the applicable Insurance Company's total adjusted capital reported in its annual statutory statements is less than 400% of its authorized control level risk-based capital, GAFRI will pay cash or assets to the applicable Insurance Company as required to eliminate such shortfall (after giving effect to any capital contributions made by the Company or its affiliates since the date of the relevant annual statutory statement). GAFRI’s obligation to make such payments is capped at $25.0 million under the Capital Maintenance Agreement with UTA and $10.0 million under the Capital Maintenance Agreement with CGI. Each of the Capital Maintenance Agreements will remain in effect from January 1, 2016 to January 1, 2021 or until payments by GAFRI thereunder equal $35.0 million. Pursuant

(Unaudited)

to the purchase agreement, the Company will indemnify GAFRI for the amount of any payments made by it under the Capital Maintenance Agreements.

Through March 31, 2016, total capital and surplus to be reported in the Insurance Companies’ quarterly statutory statements, decreased by less than $1.0 million and remains in excess of 400% of the authorized control level risk-based capital.

The Company has investments in mortgage backed securities ("MBS") that contain embedded derivatives (primarily interest-only MBS) that do not qualify for hedge accounting. The Company records the entire change in the fair value of these securities in earnings at period end. These investments had a fair value of $18.1 million and $21.0 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The change in fair value related these securities resulted in a loss of approximately $1.7 million and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairments - Fixed Maturity and Equity Securities

A portion of certain other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) losses on fixed maturity securities is recognized in AOCI. For these securities the net amount recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (“credit loss impairments”) represent the difference between the amortized cost of the security and the net present value of its projected future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate implicit in the debt security prior to impairment. Any remaining difference between the fair value and amortized cost is recognized in AOCI. The Company recorded a $1.0 million impairment related to one fixed maturity security during the three months ended March 31, 2016 within other income (expense). The Company did not record any impairments on fixed maturity or equity securities during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

The following table presents the total unrealized losses for the 228 and 528 fixed maturity and equity securities as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, where the estimated fair value had declined and remained below amortized cost by the indicated amount (in thousands):

The determination of whether unrealized losses are “other-than-temporary” requires judgment based on subjective as well as objective factors. Factors considered and resources used by management include (a) whether the unrealized loss is credit-driven or a result of changes in market interest rates (b) the extent to which fair value is less than cost basis (c) cash flow projections received from independent sources (d) historical operating, balance sheet and cash flow data contained in issuer SEC filings and news releases (e) near-term prospects for improvement in the issuer and/or its industry (f) third party research and communications with industry specialists (g) financial models and forecasts (h) the continuity of dividend payments, maintenance of investment grade ratings and hybrid nature of certain investments (i) discussions with issuer management, and (j) ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for anticipated recovery in fair value.

The Company analyzes its MBS for other-than-temporary impairment each quarter based upon expected future cash flows. Management estimates expected future cash flows based upon its knowledge of the MBS market, cash flow projections (which reflect loan to collateral values, subordination, vintage and geographic concentration) received from independent sources, implied cash flows inherent in security ratings and analysis of historical payment data.

The Company believes it will recover its cost basis in the non impaired securities with unrealized losses and that the Company has the ability to hold the securities until they recover in value. The Company neither has an intention to sell nor does it expect to be required to sell the securities with unrealized losses as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. However, unforeseen facts and circumstances may cause the Company to sell fixed maturity and equity securities in the ordinary course of managing its portfolio to meet certain diversification, credit quality and liquidity guidelines.

At March 31, 2016, investment grade fixed maturity securities (as determined by nationally recognized rating agencies) represented approximately 20.3% of the gross unrealized loss and 56.9% of the fair value. At December 31, 2015, investment grade fixed maturity securities represented approximately 33.2% of the gross unrealized loss and 88.3% of the fair value.

Certain risks are inherent in connection with fixed maturity securities, including loss upon default, price volatility in reaction to changes in interest rates, and general market factors and risks associated with reinvestment of proceeds due to prepayments or redemptions in a period of declining interest rates.

Other Invested Assets

Other invested assets represent approximately 3.3% and 3.9% of the Company’s total investments as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Carrying values of other invested assets as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are as follows (in thousands):
