Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including, but not limited to, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”), Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, Risk Factors and the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (including the notes thereto) of Kemper Corporation (“Kemper”) and its subsidiaries (individually and collectively referred to herein as the “Company”) may contain or incorporate by reference information that includes or is based on forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe-harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Forward-looking statements give expectations or forecasts of future events. The reader can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They use words such as “believe(s),” “goal(s),” “target(s),” “estimate(s),” “anticipate(s),” “forecast(s),” “project(s),” “plan(s),” “intend(s),” “expect(s),” “might,” “may” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with a discussion of future operating performance, financial performance or financial condition. Forward-looking statements, in particular, include statements relating to future actions, prospective services or products, future performance or results of current and anticipated services or products, sales efforts, expenses, the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings, trends in operations and financial results.

Any or all forward-looking statements may turn out to be wrong, and, accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These statements are based on current expectations and the current economic environment. They involve a number of risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. These statements are not guarantees of future performance; actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be affected by inaccurate assumptions or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Many such factors will be important in determining the Company’s actual future results and financial condition. The reader should consider the following list of general factors that could affect the Company’s future results and financial condition, as well as those discussed under Item 1A., Risk Factors, of Part I of Kemper’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the “2013 Annual Report”) as updated by Item 1A. of Part II of subsequently-filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, including this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Among the general factors that could cause actual results and financial condition to differ materially from estimated results and financial condition are:

Factors related to the legal and regulatory environment in which Kemper and its subsidiaries operate


•	Developments in, and outcomes of, initiatives by state officials that could result in significant changes to unclaimed property laws and claims handling practices with respect to life insurance policies, especially to the extent that such initiatives result in retroactive application of new requirements to existing life insurance policy contracts;


•	Adverse outcomes in litigation or other legal or regulatory proceedings involving Kemper or its subsidiaries or affiliates;

•

Governmental actions, including, but not limited to, implementation of the provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively, the “Health Care Acts”), the Dodd-Frank Act (the “DFA”), the Risk Management and Own Risk and Solvency Assessment Model Act (“RMORSA”) and other new laws, regulations or court decisions interpreting existing laws and regulations or policy provisions;


•	Uncertainties related to regulatory approval of insurance rates, policy forms, license applications and similar matters;

Factors relating to insurance claims and related reserves in the Company’s insurance businesses


•	The incidence, frequency, and severity of catastrophes occurring in any particular reporting period or geographic area, including natural disasters, pandemics and terrorist attacks or other man-made events;


•	The number and severity of insurance claims (including those associated with catastrophe losses) and their impact on the adequacy of loss reserves;


•	Changes in facts and circumstances affecting assumptions used in determining loss and loss adjustment expenses (“LAE”) reserves;


•	The impact of inflation on insurance claims, including, but not limited to, the effects attributed to scarcity of resources available to rebuild damaged structures, including labor and materials and the amount of salvage value recovered for damaged property;

Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements (continued)


•	Developments related to insurance policy claims and coverage issues, including, but not limited to, interpretations or decisions by courts or regulators that may govern or influence losses incurred in connection with hurricanes and other catastrophes;


•	Orders, interpretations or other actions by regulators that impact the reporting, adjustment and payment of claims;


•	Changes in the pricing or availability of reinsurance, or in the financial condition of reinsurers and amounts recoverable therefrom;

Factors related to the Company’s ability to compete


•	Changes in the ratings by rating agencies of Kemper and/or its insurance company subsidiaries with regard to credit, financial strength, claims paying ability and other areas on which the Company is rated;


•	The level of success and costs incurred in realizing economies of scale and implementing significant business consolidations, reorganizations and technology initiatives;


•	Absolute and relative performance of the Company’s products or services;

Factors relating to the business environment in which Kemper and its subsidiaries operate


•	Changes in general economic conditions, including performance of financial markets, interest rates, unemployment rates and fluctuating values of particular investments held by the Company;


•	Absolute and relative performance of investments held by the Company;


•	Heightened competition, including, with respect to pricing, entry of new competitors, introduction of new technologies, refinements of existing products and the development of new products by new and existing competitors;


•	Changes in industry trends and significant industry developments;


•	Changes in capital requirements, including the calculations thereof, used by regulators and rating agencies;


•	Regulatory, accounting or tax changes that may affect the cost of, or demand for, the Company’s products or services or after-tax returns from the Company’s investments;


•	The impact of required participation in windpools and joint underwriting associations, residual market assessments and assessments for insurance industry insolvencies;


•	Changes in distribution channels, methods or costs resulting from changes in laws or regulations, lawsuits or market forces;


•	Increased costs and risks related to data security; and

Other risks and uncertainties described from time to time in Kemper’s filings with the SEC.

No assurances can be given that the results contemplated in any forward-looking statements will be achieved or will be achieved in any particular timetable. The Company assumes no obligation to publicly correct or update any forward-looking statements as a result of events or developments subsequent to the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The reader is advised, however, to consult any further disclosures Kemper makes on related subjects in its filings with the SEC.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and include the accounts of Kemper Corporation (“Kemper”) and its subsidiaries (individually and collectively referred to herein as the “Company”) and are unaudited. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

In the first quarter of 2014, the Company realigned its property and casualty insurance businesses. As a result of the realignment, the property and casualty insurance businesses are being reported as a single business segment named the Property & Casualty Insurance segment. The Company has reclassified certain prior year amounts in its segment results in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to conform to the current year presentation.

Certain financial information that is normally included in annual financial statements, including certain financial statement footnote disclosures, prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) is not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting and has been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation. The preparation of interim financial statements relies heavily on estimates. This factor and other factors, such as the seasonal nature of some portions of the insurance business, as well as market conditions, call for caution in drawing specific conclusions from interim results. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in the 2013 Annual Report.

Note 2 - Investments (continued)

Unrealized losses on fixed maturities, which the Company has determined to be temporary at June 30, 2014, were $27.4 million, of which $24.5 million was related to fixed maturities that were in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer. There were no unrealized losses at June 30, 2014 related to securities for which the Company has recognized credit losses in earnings in the preceding table under the heading “Less Than 12 Months.” Included in the preceding table under the heading “12 Months or Longer” were unrealized losses of $0.3 million related to securities for which the Company has recognized credit losses in earnings. Investment-grade fixed maturity investments comprised $23.9 million and below-investment-grade fixed maturity investments comprised $3.5 million of the unrealized losses on investments in fixed maturities at June 30, 2014. For below-investment-grade fixed maturity investments in an unrealized loss position, the unrealized loss amount, on average, was less than 3% of the amortized cost basis of the investment. At June 30, 2014, the Company did not have the intent to sell these investments and it was not more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell these investments before it recovered the amortized cost of such investments, which may be at maturity. Based on the Company’s evaluation at June 30, 2014 of the prospects of the issuers, including, but not limited to, the credit ratings of the issuers of the investments in the fixed maturities, and the Company’s intention to not sell and its determination that it would not be required to sell before it recovered the amortized cost of such investments, the Company concluded that the declines in the fair values of the Company’s investments in fixed maturities presented in the preceding table were temporary at the evaluation date.

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


•	The financial condition and prospects of the issuer;


•	The length of time and magnitude of the unrealized loss;


•	The volatility of the investment;


•	Analyst recommendations and near term price targets;


•	Opinions of the Company’s external investment managers;


•	Market liquidity;


•	Debt-like characteristics of perpetual preferred stocks and issuer ratings; and


•	The Company’s intentions to sell or ability to hold the investments until recovery.

With respect to Investments in Equity Securities, the Company concluded that the unrealized losses on its investments in preferred and common stocks at June 30, 2014 were temporary based on various factors, including the relative short length and magnitude of the losses and overall market volatility. The Company’s investments in other equity interests include investments in limited liability companies and limited partnerships that primarily invest in mezzanine debt, distressed debt, and secondary transactions. By the nature of their underlying investments, the Company believes that its investments in the limited liability companies and limited partnerships exhibit debt-like characteristics which, among other factors, the Company also considers when evaluating these investments for impairment. Based on evaluations of the factors in the preceding paragraph, the Company concluded that the declines in the fair values of the Company’s investments in equity securities were temporary at June 30, 2014.

Unrealized losses on fixed maturities, which the Company has determined to be temporary at December 31, 2013, were $79.7 million, of which $9.2 million was related to fixed maturities that were in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer. There were no unrealized losses at December 31, 2013 related to securities for which the Company has recognized credit losses in earnings in the preceding table under the heading “Less Than 12 Months.” Included in the preceding table under the heading “12 Months or Longer” there were unrealized losses of $0.3 million at December 31, 2013 related to securities for which the Company has recognized credit losses in earnings. Investment-grade fixed maturity investments comprised $74.2 million and below-investment-grade fixed maturity investments comprised $5.5 million of the unrealized losses on investments in fixed maturities at December 31, 2013. For below-investment-grade fixed maturity investments in an unrealized loss position, the unrealized loss amount, on average, was less than 5% of the amortized cost basis of the investment. At December 31, 2013, the Company did not have the intent to sell these investments and it was not more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell these investments before it recovered the amortized cost of such investments, which may be at maturity. Based on the Company’s evaluation at December 31, 2013 of the prospects of the issuers, including, but not limited to, the credit ratings of the issuers of the investments in the fixed maturities, and the Company’s intention to not sell and its determination that it would not be required to sell before it recovered the amortized cost of such investments, the Company concluded that the declines in the fair values of the Company’s investments in fixed maturities presented in the preceding table were temporary at the evaluation date.

In the second quarter of 2014, Kemper purchased and sold $42.9 million and $2.9 million, respectively, of investments in certain hedge funds. The Company has elected the fair value option (“FVO”) to account for such investments. Under the FVO method of accounting, the Company reports changes in the fair value of such investments in Net Investment Income in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. The hedge funds are designed to provide higher returns, while preserving liquidity, than Kemper would otherwise expect to earn had it invested in other short-term investments. The fair value of such investments reported as Fair Value Option Investments in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was $40.3 million at June 30, 2014.

Property and casualty insurance reserves are estimated based on historical experience patterns and current economic trends. Actual loss experience and loss trends are likely to differ from these historical experience patterns and economic conditions. Loss experience and loss trends emerge over several years from the dates of loss inception. The Company monitors such emerging loss trends on a quarterly basis. Changes in such estimates are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the period of change.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company reduced its property and casualty insurance reserves by $34.3 million to recognize favorable development of losses and LAE from prior accident years. Personal lines insurance losses and LAE reserves developed favorably by $34.1 million, and commercial lines insurance losses and LAE reserves developed favorably by $0.2 million. Personal automobile insurance losses and LAE reserves developed favorably by $23.5 million, homeowners insurance losses and LAE reserves developed favorably by $8.8 million, and other personal lines losses and LAE reserves developed favorably by $1.8 million. The personal lines insurance losses and LAE reserves developed favorably due primarily to the emergence of more favorable loss patterns than expected for the three most recent accident years.

Note 3 - Property and Casualty Insurance Reserves (continued)

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company reduced its property and casualty insurance reserves by $33.4 million to recognize favorable development of losses and LAE from prior accident years. Personal lines insurance losses and LAE reserves developed favorably by $31.1 million, and commercial lines insurance losses and LAE reserves developed favorably by $2.3 million. Personal automobile insurance losses and LAE reserves developed favorably by $15.6 million, homeowners insurance losses and LAE reserves developed favorably by $11.4 million, and other personal lines losses and LAE reserves developed favorably by $4.1 million. The personal lines insurance losses and LAE reserves developed favorably due primarily to the emergence of more favorable loss patterns than expected for the three most recent accident years. Discontinued operations accounted for all of the commercial lines loss and LAE reserve development.

The Company cannot predict whether losses and LAE will develop favorably or unfavorably from the amounts reported in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company believes that any such development will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated shareholders’ equity, but could have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial results for a given period.

Kemper has a four-year, $225.0 million, unsecured, revolving credit agreement, expiring March 7, 2016, with a group of financial institutions. The credit agreement provides for fixed and floating rate advances for periods up to six months at various interest rates. The credit agreement contains various financial covenants, including limits on total debt to total capitalization, consolidated net worth and minimum risk-based capital ratios for Kemper’s largest insurance subsidiaries, United Insurance Company of America (“United Insurance”) and Trinity Universal Insurance Company (“Trinity”). Proceeds from advances under the credit agreement may be used for general corporate purposes, including repayment of existing indebtedness. There were no outstanding borrowings under the credit agreement at either June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

United Insurance and Trinity are members of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Chicago and Dallas, respectively. The FHLB memberships provide United Insurance and Trinity with access to additional sources of liquidity. Effective December 31, 2013, Trinity and the FHLB of Dallas entered into agreements pursuant to which Trinity may obtain advances from the FHLB of Dallas. Effective March 18, 2014, United Insurance and the FHLB of Chicago entered into agreements pursuant to which United Insurance may obtain advances from the FHLB of Chicago. Advances from the FHLB of Dallas and Chicago are subject to collateral requirements as specified in the respective agreements with Trinity and United Insurance. There were no advances from the FHLB of Dallas or Chicago outstanding at either June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

On February 27, 2014, Kemper issued $150.0 million of its 7.375% subordinated debentures due February 27, 2054 (the “2054 Subordinated Debentures”). The net proceeds of the issuance were $144.2 million, net of discount and transaction costs, for an effective yield of 7.69%. The 2054 Subordinated Debentures are unsecured and are subordinated and junior to the senior indebtedness of Kemper. Interest on the 2054 Subordinated Debentures is payable quarterly. As long as no event of default has occurred, Kemper may defer interest payments on the 2054 Subordinated Debentures for up to five consecutive years without giving rise to an event of default. During a deferral period, interest will continue to accrue at the stated interest rate compounded quarterly. Kemper is permitted to redeem some or all of the 2054 Subordinated Debentures on or after February 27, 2019, at a redemption price that is equal to their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. Kemper is permitted to redeem the 2054 Subordinated Debentures in whole, but not in part, at any time prior to February 27, 2019, within 90 days of the occurrence of certain tax events or rating agency events, at specified redemption prices.

Note 5 - Long-term Equity-based Compensation Plans

As of June 30, 2014, there were 8,187,171 common shares available for future grants under Kemper’s long-term equity-based compensation plan, of which 552,450 shares were reserved for future grants based on the performance level attained under the terms of outstanding performance-based restricted stock and performance-based restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards. Equity-based compensation expense was $4.5 million and $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Total unamortized compensation expense related to nonvested awards at June 30, 2014 was $7.0 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2 years.

Outstanding equity-based compensation awards at December 31, 2013 consisted of tandem stock option and stock appreciation rights (“Tandem Awards”), time-vested restricted stock, performance-based restricted stock and deferred stock units (“DSUs”). Effective February 4, 2014, the Company began issuing time-based and performance-based RSUs. Recipients of restricted stock receive full dividend and voting rights on the same basis as all other outstanding shares of Kemper common stock. Recipients of RSUs and DSUs receive full dividend equivalents on the same basis as all other outstanding shares of Kemper common stock, but do not receive voting rights until such shares are issued. Except for equity-based compensation awards granted to each member of the Board of Directors who is not employed by the Company (“Non-employee Directors”), all outstanding awards are subject to forfeiture until certain restrictions have lapsed.

Note 5 - Long-term Equity-based Compensation Plans (continued)

The grant-date fair values of the performance-based restricted stock and performance-based RSU awards are determined using the Monte Carlo simulation method. Activity related to nonvested performance-based restricted stock and nonvested performance-based RSUs for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was as follows:



	Performance-based Restricted Stock Awards				Performance-based RSU Awards
	Number of Shares		Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value Per Share		Number of RSUs		Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value Per RSU
Nonvested Balance at Beginning of the Year	176,800		$	39.54	—		$	—
Granted	—		—		66,575		40.50
Vested	(54,934	)	39.83		—		—
Forfeited	(3,991	)	40.73		(300	)	40.50
Nonvested Balance at End of Period	117,875		39.37		66,275		40.50

The initial number of shares or RSUs awarded to each participant of a performance-based award represents the shares that would vest, or, in the case of a RSU, that would vest and would be issued, if the performance level attained were to be at the “target” performance level. For performance above the target level, each participant would receive a grant of additional shares of stock up to a maximum of 100% of the initial number of shares or RSUs awarded to the participant. The final payout of these awards will be determined based on Kemper’s total shareholder return over a three-year performance period relative to a peer group comprised of all the companies in the S&P Supercomposite Insurance Index. The number of additional shares that would be granted if the Company were to meet or exceed the maximum performance levels related to the outstanding performance-based awards for the 2014, 2013 and 2012 three-year performance periods was 66,275 common shares, 58,300 common shares and 59,575 common shares, respectively, at June 30, 2014. For the 2011 three-year performance period, the Company exceeded target performance levels with a total payout percentage, including the target payout percentage, of 118%. Accordingly, an additional 9,014 shares of stock were issued to award recipients on February 1, 2014 (the “2011 Additional Shares”).

The total fair value of the shares of restricted stock that vested during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and the 2011 Additional Shares that were issued was $2.4 million and the tax benefits for tax deductions realized from such shares was $0.8 million. The total fair value of the shares of restricted stock that vested during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and the additional shares that were issued in connection with the 2010 performance-based restricted stock awards was $2.6 million and the tax benefits for tax deductions realized from such shares was $0.9 million.

The grant-date fair values of DSU awards granted to Non-employee Directors are determined using the closing price of Kemper common stock on the date of grant. DSU awards granted to Non-employee Directors are fully vested on the date of grant. Activity related to DSU awards for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was as follows:

Note 6 - Income from Continuing Operations Per Unrestricted Share

The Company’s awards of restricted stock contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends and participate in the undistributed earnings with common shareholders. The Company’s awards of RSUs and DSUs contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividend equivalents and participate in the undistributed earnings with common shareholders. Accordingly, the Company is required to apply the two-class method of computing basic and diluted earnings per share. A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of Basic Income from Continuing Operations Per Unrestricted Share and Diluted Income from Continuing Operations Per Unrestricted Share for the six and three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 is as follows:

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

Note 11 - Fair Value Measurements (continued)

them with measurements obtained from one additional pricing provider that provides either prices from recent market transactions or quotes in inactive markets or evaluations based on its own proprietary models.

The Company investigates significant differences related to the values provided. On completion of its investigation, management exercises judgment to determine the price selected and whether adjustments, if any, to the price obtained from the Company’s primary pricing provider would warrant classification of the price as Level 3. In instances where a measurement cannot be obtained from either pricing provider, the Company generally will evaluate bid prices from one or more binding quotes obtained from market makers to value investments in inactive markets and classified by the Company as Level 2. The Company generally classifies securities when it receives non-binding quotes or indications as Level 3 securities unless the Company can validate the quote or indication against recent transactions in the market. For securities classified as Level 3, the Company either uses valuations provided by third party fund managers, third party appraisers, the Company’s own internal valuations or net asset values provided for Limited Liability Companies and Limited Partnerships and Fair Value Option Investments. These valuations typically employ various valuation techniques, including earnings multiples based on comparable public securities, comparable market yields as well as industry-specific non-earnings based multiples or discounted cash flow models. Valuations classified as Level 3 by the Company generally consist of investments in various private placement securities of non-rated entities. In rare cases, if the private placement security has only been outstanding for a short amount of time, the Company, after considering the initial assumptions used in acquiring an investment, considers the original purchase price as representative of the fair value.

The majority of Investments in Fixed Maturities that are classified as Level 3 are priced using a market yield approach. A market yield approach uses a risk-free rate plus a credit spread depending on the underlying credit profile of the security. For floating rate securities, the risk-free rate used in the market yield is the contractual floating rate of the security. For each individual security, the Company or the Company’s third party appraiser gathers information from market sources, relevant credit information, perceived market movements and sector news and determines an appropriate market yield for each security. The market yield selected is then used to discount the estimated future cash flows of the security to determine the fair value. The Company separately evaluates market yields based upon asset class to assess the reasonableness of the recorded fair value. For non-investment grade Investments in Fixed Maturities that are classified as Level 3, the two primary asset classes are senior debt and junior debt. Senior debt includes those securities that receive first priority in a liquidation and junior debt includes any fixed maturity security with other than first priority in a liquidation.

The table below presents quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs utilized by the Company in determining fair values for fixed maturity investments in corporate securities classified as Level 3 at June 30, 2014.

For an investment in a fixed maturity security, an increase in the yield used to determine the fair value of the security will decrease the fair value of the security. A decrease in the yield used to determine fair value will increase the fair value of the security, but the fair value increase is generally limited to par if the security is currently callable.

Note 12 - Contingencies

In the ordinary course of its businesses, the Company is involved in legal proceedings, including lawsuits, regulatory examinations and inquiries. Except with regard to the matters discussed below, based on currently available information, the Company does not believe that it is reasonably possible that any of its pending legal proceedings will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Over the last several years, certain state insurance regulators, legislators, treasurers/controllers, and their respective agents have been involved in an array of initiatives that seek, in various ways, to impose new duties on life insurance companies to proactively search for deaths of their insureds and contact the insureds’ beneficiaries even though such beneficiaries may not have submitted claims, including due proof of death, as required under the terms of state-approved life insurance policy forms.

Legislation has been enacted in Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Montana, Nevada, New York, North Dakota, Rhode Island and Vermont, with varying effective dates (the “DMF Statutes”), that requires life insurance companies to compare on a regular basis their records for all in-force policies (including those policies issued prior to the effective dates of the legislation) against the database of reported deaths maintained by the Social Security Administration or a comparable database (a “Death Master File”). In contrast, New Mexico and Tennessee have enacted legislation that also requires such comparisons, but exempts life insurance companies, like Kemper’s life insurance subsidiaries (the “Life Companies”), that have not previously utilized a Death Master File, and instead only requires that such companies conduct Death Master File comparisons for life insurance policies issued and delivered in each of those states after the legislation’s effective date. Likewise, Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi have enacted statutes that require such comparisons, but only with respect to policies issued on or after their respective effective dates, without regard to prior Death Master File use.

In November 2012, certain of the Life Companies filed a declaratory judgment action in Kentucky state court, asking the court to construe the Kentucky DMF Statute to apply only prospectively - i.e., only with respect to those life insurance policies issued in Kentucky on or after the effective date of the Kentucky DMF Statute - consistent with what the Life Companies believe are the requirements of applicable Kentucky statutory law, the Kentucky Constitution and the Contract Clause of the United States Constitution. In April 2013, the trial court denied the subject Life Companies’ motion for summary judgment and held that the requirements of the Kentucky DMF Statute apply to life insurance policies issued before the statute’s January 1, 2013 effective date. The subject Life Companies believe that the court did not correctly apply governing law and have appealed the trial court’s decision. The Kentucky Court of Appeals has issued a stay of enforcement of the Kentucky DMF Statute against the subject Life Companies’ policies issued prior to the statute’s effective date pending the appeal. Oral arguments were heard in Kemper’s appeal by the Kentucky Court of Appeals on July 22, 2014. A decision by the Kentucky Court of Appeals is expected by the fall of 2014.

In July 2013, certain of the Life Companies filed a declaratory judgment action in state court in Maryland, asking the court to construe the Maryland DMF Statute to apply only prospectively, i.e., only to policies issued in Maryland after the effective date of the statute, consistent with what the Life Companies believe are the requirements of the Maryland Constitution and the Contract Clause of the United States Constitution. The Maryland Insurance Administration filed a motion to dismiss the action, contending that the subject Life Companies were required to exhaust their administrative remedies before filing their action in the trial court. In March 2014, the trial court granted the State’s motion. The Life Companies have appealed the trial court’s ruling. A decision by the Maryland Court of Special Appeals is unlikely before the second quarter of 2015. The Maryland appellate courts have declined to stay enforcement of the Maryland DMF Statute pending the appeal, and the Life Companies are complying with the Maryland DMF Statute while they continue to pursue their appeal.

The Life Companies are the subject of an unclaimed property compliance audit (the “Treasurers’ Audit”) being conducted by a private audit firm retained by the treasurers/controllers of thirty-eight states (the “Audit Firm”). In July 2013, the California State Controller (the “CA Controller”) filed a complaint for injunctive relief against the Life Companies in state court in California, seeking an order requiring the Life Companies to produce all of their in-force policy records to the Audit Firm to enable the firm to perform a comparison of such records against a Death Master File and to ascertain whether any of the insureds under such policies may be deceased. In December 2013, the CA Controller filed a motion for preliminary injunction seeking the same injunctive relief. A hearing on that motion was continued by the court until November 2014 or until the California Court of Appeals rules on a preliminary injunction order issued in a related case involving an unaffiliated life insurance company, entitled Chiang v. American National Insurance Company (the “ANICO Appeal”), whichever is later. On July 22, 2014, the court granted a motion by the CA Controller to stay the litigation in its entirety, including all discovery, pending a decision in the ANICO Appeal. As described below, the Life Companies have filed a counterclaim in this case against the CA Controller. The court’s decision to stay the Controller’s case against Kemper means that no substantive ruling is

likely to occur until sometime in 2015. Pending the outcome of this litigation, the Life Companies have not produced any of their in-force policy records to the CA Controller.

The Life Companies are the subject of a multi-state market conduct examination by six state insurance regulators that is focused on the Life Companies’ claim settlement and policy administration practices, and specifically their compliance with state unclaimed property statutes (the “Multi-State Exam”). The Multi-State Exam was originated in June 2012 as a single-state examination by the Illinois Director of Insurance. Insurance regulators from five additional states -- California, Florida, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire and North Dakota -- joined the examination in May 2013. In July 2013, the Life Companies received requests from the Illinois Department of Insurance, as the managing lead state for the Multi-State Exam, for a significant volume of information beyond that which the Company had already produced, including their records of all in-force policies and other information of the type previously requested by the Audit Firm as part of the Treasurers’ Audit and which is the subject of the CA Controller’s complaint.

In September 2013, certain of the Life Companies filed declaratory judgment actions against the insurance regulators in the states of California, Florida, Illinois and Pennsylvania, asking the courts in those states to declare that applicable law does not require life insurers to search a Death Master File to ascertain whether insureds are deceased. The subject Life Companies are also asking the courts to declare that regulators in those states do not have the legal authority to (i) obtain life insurers’ policy records for the purpose of comparing those records against a Death Master File, and/or (ii) impose payment obligations on life insurers before a claim and due proof of death have been submitted by policy beneficiaries. The declaratory judgment action in California referenced above was filed as a counterclaim to the CA Controller’s complaint, joining the California Insurance Commissioner and the Audit Firm as parties to the counterclaim. The CA Controller has filed a motion to dismiss the Life Companies’ counterclaim, contending that the Life Companies’ request for a declaratory judgment is premature and not ripe for adjudication. A hearing on that motion has been continued until November 2014 or until the Court of Appeals issues its decision in the ANICO Appeal, whichever is later. The Illinois Department of Insurance and its Director (collectively, the “IDOI”) have filed a motion to dismiss the Illinois action on various grounds, including that the Life Companies’ request for a declaratory judgment is premature and that the Life Companies must exhaust administrative remedies before pursuing such relief in the courts. A hearing on that motion was held on May 29, 2014. On July 29, 2014, the court in the Illinois action issued its ruling, which granted in part and denied in part the IDOI’s motion. Specifically, the court denied the IDOI’s motion to dismiss the Life Companies’ claim seeking a declaration that the IDOI cannot compel the Life Companies to provide their policy records to the IDOI or persons acting on the IDOI’s behalf so as to permit a comparison against the DMF for purposes of identifying deceased insureds, as well as the Life Companies’ associated claim for injunctive relief. The court dismissed with prejudice the other counts in the complaint. The IDOI is now obligated to answer the remaining claims in the Life Companies’ complaint by August 26, 2014. The actions against the insurance regulators in the states of Florida and Pennsylvania are stayed by agreement of the parties pending the outcome of the Illinois action.

The results of the Treasurers’ Audit, Multi-State Exam and the foregoing litigation matters cannot currently be predicted. The Life Companies continue to maintain that states lack the legal authority to establish new requirements that have the effect of changing the terms of existing life insurance contracts with regard to basic claims handling obligations and processes. If these state officials are able to apply such new requirements retroactively to the Life Companies’ existing life insurance policies, it will fundamentally alter the nature and timing of their responsibilities under such policies by effectively eliminating contractual terms that condition claim settlement and payment on the receipt of a claim, including “due proof of death” of an insured. The outcomes of the various state initiatives and related litigation could have a significant effect on, including acceleration of, the Life Companies’ payment and/or escheatment of policy benefits, and significantly increase their claims handling costs. Due to the complexity and multi-jurisdictional nature of this issue, as well as the indeterminate number of potential outcomes and their uncertain effects on the Life Companies’ business, Kemper cannot reasonably estimate the amount of loss that it would recognize if the Life Companies were subjected to requirements of the types described in this Note on a retroactive basis.

Note 13 - Related Parties

Mr. Christopher B. Sarofim, a director of Kemper, is Vice Chairman of Fayez Sarofim & Co. (“FS&C”), a registered investment advisory firm. Kemper’s subsidiary, Trinity, had $166.6 million in assets managed by FS&C at June 30, 2014 under an agreement with FS&C whereby FS&C provides investment management services with respect to certain assets of Trinity. Investment expenses incurred in connection with such agreement were $0.2 million for each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

FS&C also provides investment management services with respect to certain funds of the Company’s defined benefit pension plan. The Company’s defined benefit pension plan had $159.4 million in assets managed by FS&C at June 30, 2014 under an agreement with FS&C whereby FS&C provides investment management services. Investment expenses incurred in connection with such agreement were $0.2 million for each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

With respect to the Company’s defined contribution plans, one of the alternative investment choices afforded to participating employees is the Dreyfus Appreciation Fund, an open-end, diversified managed investment fund. FS&C provides investment management services to the Dreyfus Appreciation Fund as a sub-investment advisor. The Company does not compensate FS&C for services provided to the Dreyfus Appreciation Fund. Participants in the Company’s defined contribution plans had allocated $23.4 million for investment in the Dreyfus Appreciation Fund at June 30, 2014, representing 6.5% of the total amount invested in the Company’s defined contribution plans at June 30, 2014.

The Company believes that the services described above have been provided on terms no less favorable to the Company than could have been negotiated with non-affiliated third parties.

The Company cannot predict if or when similar investment gains or losses may occur in the future.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Underlying Losses and LAE and Underlying Combined Ratio

The following discussion for the Property & Casualty Insurance segment uses the non-GAAP financial measures of (i) Underlying Losses and LAE and (ii) Underlying Combined Ratio. Underlying Losses and LAE (also referred to in the discussion as “Current Year Non-catastrophe Losses and LAE”) exclude the impact of catastrophe losses, and loss and LAE reserve development from prior years from the Company’s Incurred Losses and LAE, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. The Underlying Combined Ratio is computed by adding the Current Year Non-catastrophe Losses and LAE Ratio with the Incurred Expense Ratio. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is the combined ratio, which uses total incurred losses and LAE, including the impact of catastrophe losses, and loss and LAE reserve development from prior years. The Company believes Underlying Losses and LAE and the Underlying Combined Ratio are useful to investors and are used by management to reveal the trends in the Company’s Property & Casualty Insurance segment that may be obscured by catastrophe losses and prior year reserve development. These catastrophe losses may cause the Company’s loss trends to vary significantly between periods as a result of their incidence of occurrence and magnitude and can have a significant impact on incurred losses and LAE and the combined ratio. Prior year reserve developments are caused by unexpected loss development on historical reserves. Because reserve development relates to the re-estimation of losses from earlier periods, it has no bearing on the performance of the Company’s insurance products in the current period. The Company believes it is useful for investors to evaluate these components separately and in the aggregate when reviewing the Company’s underwriting performance.

Consolidated Net Operating Income

Consolidated Net Operating Income is an after-tax, non-GAAP financial measure and is computed by excluding from Income from Continuing Operations the after-tax impact of (i) Net Realized Gains on Sales of Investments, (ii) Net Impairment Losses Recognized in Earnings related to investments and (iii) other significant non-recurring or infrequent items that may not be indicative of ongoing operations. Significant non-recurring items are excluded when (a) the nature of the charge or gain is such that it is reasonably unlikely to recur within two years, and (b) there has been no similar charge or gain within the prior two years. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is Income from Continuing Operations.

The Company believes that Consolidated Net Operating Income provides investors with a valuable measure of its ongoing performance because it reveals underlying operational performance trends that otherwise might be less apparent if the items were not excluded. Net Realized Gains on Sales of Investments and Net Impairment Losses Recognized in Earnings related to investments included in the Company’s results may vary significantly between periods and are generally driven by business decisions and external economic developments such as capital market conditions that impact the values of the Company’s investments, the timing of which is unrelated to the insurance underwriting process. Significant non-recurring items are excluded because, by their nature, they are not indicative of the Company’s business or economic trends.

A reconciliation of Consolidated Net Operating Income to Income from Continuing Operations for the six and three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 is presented below.



	Six Months Ended						Three Months Ended

Income from Continuing Operations	$	44.5		$	91.1		$	9.3		$	32.5

There were no applicable significant non-recurring items that the Company excluded from the calculation of Consolidated Net Operating Income for the six and three months ended June 30, 2014 or 2013.

The preceding non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for the comparable GAAP financial measures, as they do not fully recognize the overall profitability of the Company’s businesses.

Overall

Earned Premiums in the Property & Casualty Insurance segment decreased by $66.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013. The decrease was driven primarily by personal automobile insurance, which decreased by $62.0 million as lower volume accounted for a decrease of $84.2 million in earned premiums, while higher average premium accounted for an increase of $22.2 million in earned premiums. The run-off of the direct-to-consumer business accounted for approximately 20% of the decrease in earned premiums attributed to lower volume. Earned premiums in homeowners insurance decreased by $3.8 million as lower volume accounted for a decrease of $19.8 million in earned premiums, while higher average premium accounted for an increase of $16.0 million in earned premiums. Earned premiums in commercial automobile insurance increased by $1.5 million as higher volume accounted for an increase of $1.9 million in earned premiums, while lower average premium due to a mix shift toward lower weight class vehicles and lower limit policies accounted for a decrease of $0.4 million in earned premiums. Earned premiums in other personal insurance decreased by $1.9 million as lower volume accounted for a decrease of $2.9 million in earned premiums, while higher average premium accounted for an increase of $1.0 million in earned premiums.

Earned Premiums in the Property & Casualty Insurance segment decreased by $36.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013.

Net Investment Income in the Property & Casualty Insurance segment decreased by $9.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013, due primarily to lower investment income from Equity Method Limited Liability Investments, lower yields on fixed maturities and equity securities and lower levels of investments resulting from a decline in the scale of the business. The Property & Casualty Insurance segment reported net investment income from Equity Method Limited Liability Investments of $4.6 million in 2014, compared to $8.1 million in 2013.

Net Investment Income in the Property & Casualty Insurance segment decreased by $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013, due primarily to lower levels of investments resulting from a decline in the scale of the business.

The Property & Casualty Insurance segment reported Segment Net Operating Income of $13.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $48.1 million for the same period in 2013. Segment Net Operating Income decreased by $34.9 million due primarily to higher incurred catastrophe losses and LAE (excluding development), higher insurance expenses as a percentage of earned premiums and lower net investment income, partially offset by lower underlying losses and LAE as a percentage of earned premiums and higher favorable loss and LAE reserve development. Underlying losses and LAE as a percentage of earned premiums were 68.7% in 2014, a decrease of 1.7 percentage points compared to 2013, as personal automobile insurance, homeowners insurance and commercial automobile insurance improved, while other personal insurance deteriorated.

Catastrophe losses and LAE (excluding development) were $77.9 million in 2014, compared to $34.6 million in 2013. The increase of $43.3 million was due primarily to one catastrophe event that exceeded $25.0 million of losses and LAE and four other catastrophe events that each exceeded $5.0 million of losses and LAE in 2014, compared to no such events in 2013. Favorable loss and LAE reserve development (including catastrophe development) was $35.0 million in 2014, compared to $30.9 million in 2013. Insurance expenses decreased by $6.5 million in 2014, compared to 2013, but increased as a percentage of earned premiums from 26.3% in 2013 to 28.1% in 2014 due primarily to lower earned premiums to absorb fixed costs. The Property & Casualty Insurance segment’s effective income tax rate differs from the federal statutory income tax rate due primarily to tax-exempt investment income and dividends received deductions.

Underlying losses and LAE as a percentage of earned premiums were 66.0% in 2014, a decrease of 3.6 percentage points compared to 2013, as personal automobile insurance, homeowners insurance and commercial automobile insurance improved, while other personal insurance deteriorated. Catastrophe losses and LAE (excluding development) were $61.9 million in 2014, compared to $25.9 million in 2013. The increase of $36.0 million was due primarily to four catastrophes exceeding $5.0 million of losses and LAE in 2014, compared to none in 2013. Favorable loss and LAE reserve development (including catastrophe development) was $19.6 million in 2014, compared to $17.4 million in 2013.

Underlying losses and LAE on property insurance were $11.9 million, or 31.1% of property insurance earned premiums, in 2014, compared to $13.7 million, or 34.5% of property insurance earned premiums, in 2013 and decreased due primarily to lower severity of insurance losses. Catastrophe losses and LAE (excluding development) were $1.7 million in 2014, compared to $3.5 million in 2013. Unfavorable loss and LAE reserve development was $0.8 million in 2014, compared to favorable loss and LAE reserve development of $0.2 million in 2013. Policyholders’ benefits on life insurance were $136.8 million in 2014, compared to $137.4 million in 2013, a decrease of $0.6 million. Policyholders’ benefits on life insurance decreased due primarily to lower death claims and a lower provision for future policyholders’ benefits related to insurance policies issued by KHSC, partially offset by the higher volume of insurance from policies issued by Reserve National. Insurance Expenses in the Life & Health Insurance segment were $154.2 million in each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 as lower non-deferrable career agent incentive compensation and lower service commissions in 2014 were primarily offset by higher start-up expenses and commissions resulting from the expansion of Reserve National’s distribution channels. Segment Net Operating Income in the Life & Health Insurance segment was $38.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $41.5 million in 2013.

Operating Profit in the Life & Health Insurance segment was $24.7 million before taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $31.2 million for the same period in 2013. Policyholders’ Benefits and Incurred Losses and LAE decreased by $3.6 million in 2014 due primarily to lower incurred accident and health insurance losses and lower underlying losses on property insurance, partially offset by higher policyholders’ benefits on life insurance and an unfavorable impact of property insurance reserve development. Incurred accident and health insurance losses were $19.5 million, or 53.9% of accident and health insurance earned premiums, in 2014, compared to $25.2 million, or 62.5% of accident and health insurance earned premiums, in 2013. Incurred losses and LAE on property insurance were $7.6 million, or 39.2% of property insurance earned premiums, in 2014, compared to $7.4 million, or 37.0% of property insurance earned premiums, in 2013. Underlying losses and LAE on property insurance were $5.6 million, or 28.9% of property insurance earned premiums, in 2014, compared to $6.3 million, or 31.5% of property insurance earned premiums, in 2013 and decreased due primarily to lower severity of insurance losses. Catastrophe losses and LAE (excluding development) were $1.4 million in 2014, compared to $1.1 million in 2013. Unfavorable loss and LAE reserve development was $0.6 million in 2014, compared to no significant loss and LAE reserve development in 2013. Policyholders’ benefits on life insurance were $68.7 million in 2014, compared to $66.8 million in 2013, an increase of $1.9 million. Policyholders’ benefits on life insurance increased due primarily to higher volume of insurance from policies issued by Reserve National. Insurance Expenses in the Life & Health Insurance segment increased by $2.1 million in 2014, compared to 2013, due primarily to higher legal costs and higher commissions resulting from the expansion of Reserve National’s distribution channels, partially offset by lower non-deferrable career agent incentive compensation and lower service commissions. Segment Net Operating Income in the Life & Health Insurance segment was $15.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $20.3 million in 2013.

Certain state insurance regulators, legislators and treasurers/controllers are involved in an array of initiatives that could result in significant changes to the application of unclaimed property laws and related claims handling practices with respect to life insurance policies. These initiatives seek, in various ways, to impose a new duty on the part of life insurers to proactively search for deaths of their insureds. It is the Company’s position that state officials lack the legal authority to impose new requirements where such requirements have the effect of changing the terms of existing life insurance contracts. See the Unclaimed Property Risk Factor in Item 1A., “Risk Factors,” of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Note 12, “Contingencies,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and MD&A, “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for additional information about these matters.

The Company expects that it will be required to fund its commitments over the next several years. The Company expects that the proceeds from distributions from these investments will be the primary source of funding of such commitments.

Interest and Other Expenses

Interest and Other Expenses was $45.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $49.0 million for the same period in 2013. Interest and Other Expenses decreased by $3.8 million in 2014 due primarily to lower postretirement benefit costs, partially offset by higher interest expense and higher compensation expense.

Interest and Other Expenses was $22.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $25.2 million for the same period in 2013. Interest and Other Expenses decreased by $2.7 million in 2014 due primarily to lower postretirement benefit costs, partially offset by higher interest expense.

Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate from continuing operations differs from the Federal statutory income tax rate due primarily to the effects of tax-exempt investment income and dividends received deductions. Tax-exempt investment income and dividends received deductions were $12.5 million and $6.2 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to $16.2 million and $6.8 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2013.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

All recently issued accounting pronouncements with effective dates prior to July 1, 2014 have been adopted by the Company. There were no adoptions in the six months ended June 30, 2014 that had a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to Note 2 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Kemper’s 2013 Annual Report for additional discussion of recently adopted accounting pronouncements. All other recently issued accounting pronouncements with effective dates after June 30, 2014 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Kemper has a four-year, $225.0 million, unsecured, revolving credit agreement, expiring March 7, 2016. The credit agreement provides for fixed and floating rate advances for periods up to six months at various interest rates. The credit agreement contains various financial covenants, including limits on total debt to total capitalization, consolidated net worth and minimum risk-based capital ratios for Kemper’s largest insurance subsidiaries, United Insurance and Trinity. Proceeds from advances under the credit agreement may be used for general corporate purposes, including repayment of existing indebtedness. There were no outstanding borrowings at June 30, 2014 under the credit agreement.

In December 2013, United Insurance and Trinity became members of the FHLB of Chicago and Dallas, respectively. The FHLB memberships provide United Insurance and Trinity with access to additional sources of liquidity and consequently reduce the need for such liquidity at the parent company level. Effective December 31, 2013, Trinity and the FHLB of Dallas entered into agreements pursuant to which Trinity may obtain advances from the FHLB of Dallas. On March 18, 2014, United Insurance and the FHLB of Chicago entered into agreements pursuant to which United Insurance may obtain advances from the FHLB of Chicago. Advances from the FHLB of Dallas and Chicago are subject to collateral requirements as specified in the respective agreements with Trinity and United Insurance. There were no advances from the FHLB of Dallas or Chicago outstanding at either June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

On February 27, 2014, Kemper issued $150.0 million of its 7.375% subordinated debentures due February 27, 2054. Kemper issued the 2054 Subordinated Debentures for proceeds of $144.2 million, net of transaction costs, for an effective yield of 7.69%. See Note 4, “Debt”, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the debentures for working capital and other general corporate purposes, which may include retirement of a portion of the Company’s existing debt on or before its scheduled maturity date.

Various state insurance laws restrict the ability of Kemper’s insurance subsidiaries to pay dividends without regulatory approval. Such insurance laws generally restrict the amount of dividends paid in an annual period to the greater of statutory net income from the previous year or 10% of statutory capital and surplus. Trinity, one of Kemper’s insurance subsidiaries, paid dividends of $100.0 million to Kemper during the first six months of 2014. Kemper estimates that its insurance subsidiaries would be able to pay an additional $117.0 million in dividends to Kemper during the remainder of 2014 without prior regulatory approval, of which Kemper estimates the insurance subsidiaries will pay at least $79 million.

On February 2, 2011, the Board of Directors approved a common stock repurchase program (the “2011 Repurchase Program”). Under the 2011 Repurchase Program, Kemper was authorized to repurchase up to $300 million worth of its common stock. During the first six months of 2014, Kemper repurchased 2.1 million shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of $76.6 million in open market transactions under the 2011 Repurchase Program. In July 2014, Kemper repurchased an additional 0.8 million shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of $29.9 million in open market transactions, substantially completing the 2011 Repurchase Program. On August 6, 2014, the Board of Directors terminated the Company’s remaining authorization under the 2011 Repurchase Program and approved a new repurchase program under which Kemper is authorized to repurchase up to $300 million worth of its common stock.

Kemper paid a quarterly dividend to shareholders of $0.24 per common share in both the first and second quarters of 2014. Dividends and dividend equivalents paid were $26.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Kemper directly held cash and investments totaling $302.7 million at June 30, 2014, compared to $156.7 million at December 31, 2013. Sources available for the repayment of indebtedness, repurchases of common stock, future shareholder dividend payments and the payment of interest on Kemper’s senior notes and subordinated debentures include cash and investments directly held by Kemper, receipt of dividends from Kemper’s insurance subsidiaries and borrowings under the credit agreement.

The primary sources of funds for Kemper’s insurance subsidiaries are premiums, investment income and proceeds from the sales and maturity of investments. The primary uses of funds are the payment of policyholder benefits under life insurance contracts, claims under property and casualty insurance contracts and accident and health insurance contracts, the payment of commissions and general expenses and the purchase of investments. Generally, there is a time lag between when premiums are

collected and when policyholder benefits and insurance claims are paid. Changes in the legal environment relative to application of state unclaimed property laws and related insurance claims handling practices could result in changes in the manner in which Kemper’s life insurance companies administer life insurance death benefits and escheat unclaimed benefits to the states, and could have a significant effect on, including decreasing such time lag due to an acceleration of, the payment and/or remittance of such benefits to the states under their unclaimed property laws relative to what is currently contemplated by Kemper. See the Company’s Risk Factor set forth in Item 1A. of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Note 12, “Contingencies,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the section of this MD&A entitled “Life & Health Insurance” for additional information on these matters. During periods of growth, insurance companies typically experience positive operating cash flows and are able to invest a portion of their operating cash flows to fund future policyholder benefits and claims. During periods in which premium revenues decline, insurance companies may experience negative cash flows from operations and may need to sell investments to fund payments to policyholders and claimants. In addition, if the Company’s property and casualty insurance subsidiaries experience several significant catastrophic events over a relatively short period of time, investments may have to be sold in advance of their maturity dates to fund payments, which could result in either investment gains or losses. Management believes that its property and casualty insurance subsidiaries maintain adequate levels of liquidity in the event that they experience several future catastrophic events over a relatively short period of time.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities was $72.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $76.6 million for the same period in 2013.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities increased by $120.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013, due primarily to net proceeds of $144.2 million related to the issuance of the 2054 Subordinated Debentures. Kemper used $70.1 million of cash during the first six months of 2014 to repurchase shares of its common stock, compared to $45.1 million of cash used to repurchase shares of its common stock in the same period of 2013. Kemper used $26.6 million of cash to pay dividends for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $27.9 million of cash used to pay dividends in the same period of 2013. The quarterly dividend rate was $0.24 per common share for the first and second quarters of 2014 and each quarter of 2013.

Cash available for investment activities in total is dependent on cash flow from Operating Activities and Financing Activities and the level of cash the Company elects to maintain. Net Cash Used by Investing Activities increased by $94.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the same period of 2013. Net cash used by acquisitions of short-term investments was $198.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to net cash of $87.3 million provided by dispositions of short-term investments for the same period in 2013. Sales of Fixed Maturities exceeded Purchases of Fixed Maturities by $117.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Purchases of Fixed Maturities exceeded Sales of Fixed Maturities by $106.5 million for the same period in 2013. Purchases of Equity Securities exceeded Sales of Equity Securities by $11.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $12.1 million for the same period in 2013. Purchases of Fair Value Option Investments exceeded Sales of Fair Value Option Investments by $40.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. There were no purchases or sales of Fair Value Option Investments for the same period in 2013.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Kemper’s subsidiaries conduct their operations in two industries: property and casualty insurance and life and health insurance. Accordingly, the Company is subject to several industry-specific accounting principles under GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The process of estimation is inherently uncertain. Accordingly, actual results could ultimately differ materially from the estimated amounts reported in a company’s financial statements. Different assumptions are likely to result in different estimates of reported amounts.

The Company’s critical accounting policies most sensitive to estimates include the valuation of investments, the valuation of reserves for property and casualty insurance incurred losses and LAE, the assessment of recoverability of goodwill, the valuation of pension benefit obligations and the valuation of postretirement benefit obligations other than pensions. The Company’s critical accounting policies are described in the MD&A included in the 2013 Annual Report. There has been no material change, subsequent to December 31, 2013, to the information previously disclosed in the 2013 Annual Report with respect to these critical accounting estimates and the Company’s critical accounting policies.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, the Company is required to provide the following disclosures about Market Risk.

Quantitative Information About Market Risk

Financial instruments subject to material market risk disclosures required by the SEC were reported on the following lines of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:


1)	Investments in Fixed Maturities;


2)	Investments in Equity Securities;


3)	Fair Value Option Investments; and


4)	Debt.

Investments in Fixed Maturities and Debt are subject to material interest rate risk. The Company’s Investments in Equity Securities include common and preferred stocks and, accordingly, are subject to material equity price risk and interest rate risk, respectively. The Company’s Fair Value Option Investments include hedge funds that are subject to material equity price risk.

For purposes of this disclosure, market risk sensitive financial instruments are divided into two categories: financial instruments acquired for trading purposes and financial instruments acquired for purposes other than trading. The Company’s market risk sensitive financial instruments are generally classified as held for purposes other than trading. The Company has no significant holdings of financial instruments acquired for trading purposes. The Company has no significant holdings of derivatives.

The Company measures its sensitivity to market risk by evaluating the change in its financial assets and liabilities relative to fluctuations in interest rates and equity prices. The evaluation is made using instantaneous changes in interest rates and equity prices on a static balance sheet to determine the effect such changes would have on the Company’s market value at risk and the resulting pre-tax effect on Shareholders’ Equity. The changes chosen represent the Company’s view of adverse changes which are reasonably possible over a one-year period. The selection of the changes chosen should not be construed as the Company’s prediction of future market events, but rather an illustration of the impact of such possible events.

For the interest rate sensitivity analysis presented below, the Company assumed an adverse and instantaneous increase of 100 basis points in the yield curve at both June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 for Investments in Fixed Maturities. Such 100 basis point increase in the yield curve may not necessarily result in a corresponding 100 basis point increase in the interest rate for all investments in fixed maturities. For example, a 100 basis point increase in the yield curve for risk-free, taxable investments in fixed maturities may not result in a 100 basis point increase for tax-exempt investments in fixed maturities. For Investments in Fixed Maturities, the Company also anticipated changes in cash flows due to changes in the likelihood that investments would be called or pre-paid prior to their contractual maturity. All other variables were held constant. For preferred stock equity securities, the Company assumed an adverse and instantaneous increase of 100 basis points in market interest rates from their levels at both June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. All other variables were held constant. For Debt, the Company assumed an adverse and instantaneous decrease of 100 basis points in market interest rates from their levels at both June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. All other variables were held constant.

The Company measured equity price sensitivity assuming an adverse and instantaneous 30% decrease in the Standard and Poor’s Stock Index (the “S&P 500”) from its levels at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, with all other variables held constant. The Company’s investments in common stock equity securities were correlated with the S&P 500 using the common stock portfolio’s weighted-average beta of 0.94 at both June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Beta measures a stock’s relative volatility in relation to the rest of the stock market, with the S&P 500 having a beta coefficient of 1.00.The common stock portfolio’s weighted-average beta was calculated using each security’s beta for the five-year periods ended June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and weighted on the fair value of such securities at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. For equity securities without observable market inputs, the Company assumed a beta of 1.00 at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The Company’s Fair Value Option Investments were correlated with the S&P 500 using such portfolio’s weighted-average beta of 0.21 at June 30, 2014, which was calculated for each hedge fund in the portfolio and weighted on the fair value of the hedge funds.

Quantitative Information About Market Risk (continued)

The estimated adverse effects on the fair values of the Company’s financial instruments using these assumptions were:



			Pro Forma Increase (Decrease)
(Dollars in Millions)	Fair Value		Interest Rate Risk			Equity Price Risk			Total Market Risk
June 30, 2014
Assets:
Investments in Fixed Maturities	$	4,680.0	$	(315.4	)	$	—		$	(315.4	)
Investments in Equity Securities	646.2		(9.7		)	(147.7		)	(157.4		)
Fair Value Option Investments	40.3		—			(2.5		)	(2.5		)
Liabilities:
Debt	826.2		25.7			—			25.7
December 31, 2013
Assets:
Investments in Fixed Maturities	$	4,575.0	$	(300.0	)	$	—		$	(300.0	)
Investments in Equity Securities	598.5		(13.0		)	(119.7		)	(132.7		)
Liabilities:
Debt	667.1		17.4			—			17.4

The market risk sensitivity analysis assumes that the composition of the Company’s interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities, including, but not limited to, credit quality, and the equity price sensitive assets existing at the beginning of the period remains constant over the period being measured. It also assumes that a particular change in interest rates is uniform across the yield curve regardless of the time to maturity. Interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market interest rates. Also, any future correlation, either in the near term or the long term, between the Company’s common stock equity securities portfolio and the S&P 500 may differ from the historical correlation as represented by the weighted-average historical beta of the common stock equity securities portfolio. Accordingly, the market risk sensitivity analysis may not be indicative of, is not intended to provide, and does not provide, a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market rates on the Company’s income or shareholders’ equity. Further, the computations do not contemplate any actions the Company may undertake in response to changes in interest rates or equity prices.

To the extent that any adverse 100 basis point change occurs in increments over a period of time instead of instantaneously, the adverse impact on fair values would be partially mitigated because some of the underlying financial instruments would have matured. For example, proceeds from any maturing assets could be reinvested and any new liabilities would be incurred at the then current interest rates.

Qualitative Information About Market Risk

Market risk is a broad term related to economic losses due to adverse changes in the fair value of a financial instrument and is inherent to all financial instruments. SEC disclosure rules focus on only one element of market risk - price risk. Price risk relates to changes in the level of prices due to changes in interest rates, equity prices, foreign exchange rates or other factors that relate to market volatility of the rate, index or price underlying the financial instrument. The Company’s primary market risk exposures are to changes in interest rates and equity prices.

The Company manages its interest rate exposures with respect to Investments in Fixed Maturities by investing primarily in investment-grade securities of moderate effective duration.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures


(a)	Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

The Company’s management, with the participation of Kemper’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, Kemper’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by Kemper in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including Kemper’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


(b)	Changes in internal controls.

There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Items not listed here have been omitted because they are inapplicable or the answer is negative.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Information concerning pending legal proceedings is incorporated herein by reference to Note 12, “Contingencies,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) in Part I of this Form 10-Q.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There were no significant changes in the risk factors included in Item 1A. of Part I of the 2013 Annual Report, except for the following risk factor, which is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

Changes in the application of state unclaimed property laws and related insurance claims handling practices, particularly attempts by state officials to apply such changes retroactively to existing insurance policies through new laws and regulations, examinations and audits, could result in new requirements that would have a significant effect on (including an acceleration of) the payment and/or escheatment of life insurance death benefits and significantly increase claims handling costs relative to what is currently contemplated by Kemper. If attempts by state officials to impose such new requirements on existing insurance policies are successful on a wide scale, there is a potential for their collective effects to be materially adverse to the Company’s profitability, financial position and cash flows (the “Unclaimed Property Risk Factor”).

In recent years, many states have begun to aggressively expand the application of their unclaimed property laws as they relate to life insurance proceeds. The treasurers or controllers (collectively, “Treasurers”) of a large majority of states have engaged private audit firms to examine the practices and procedures of life insurance companies with respect to the reporting and remittance of proceeds associated with life insurance policies, annuity contracts and retained asset accounts under state unclaimed property laws. Certain related measures are also being taken or considered by state insurance regulators, both individually and collectively through the auspices of the NAIC. Some state insurance regulators have held administrative hearings and/or have initiated market conduct examinations focused on claims handling and escheatment practices of life insurance companies.

As a result of these audits and examinations, a number of large life insurance companies have agreed to alter historic practices that were previously considered to be lawful and appropriate relative to claims handling and the reporting and remittance of life insurance policy proceeds to the states under state unclaimed property laws. Based on published reports, at least thirteen life insurance companies have entered into settlement agreements with state insurance regulators and eighteen with Treasurers. Under the terms of these agreements, the settling insurance companies typically have agreed to establish a practice of periodically searching for deceased insureds, even prior to the receipt of a death claim, by comparing their in-force policy records against a database of reported deaths maintained by the Social Security Administration or a comparable database (collectively, a “Death Master File” or “DMF”). The settlements typically apply to policies that were in force at any time since January 1, 1992. In conducting these data comparisons against a Death Master File, the insurers are required to use complex matching criteria which in many cases result in ambiguous or “fuzzy” matches. In such cases, the insurer must either accept such matches as valid and escheat the related policy benefits to the states if the beneficiaries cannot be found, or assume a

costly and administratively burdensome process of disproving any such ambiguous matches which may, in some cases, necessitate a review of older records that are not in electronic form. All settlements to date with insurance regulators have involved payment of monetary penalties (involving amounts ranging from about $1.9 million up to $40 million), while settlements with Treasurers have required payment of interest on sums remitted to the Treasurers dating from the date of death of the insured (rather than from a more recent date linked to the insurer’s first awareness of death) and extending as far back as January 1, 1995. As hereafter described, Kemper’s life insurance subsidiaries (the “Life Companies”) have thus far resisted attempts by certain state officials and their agents to mandate changes to the Life Companies’ claims handling and escheatment practices of the sort embodied in the foregoing settlements and have challenged through legal proceedings the authority of such officials to require such changes. There can be no assurances that the Life Companies will ultimately be successful in resisting such attempts or any that may arise in the future.

Separately, the National Council of Insurance Legislators (“NCOIL”) has adopted model legislation which, if enacted by states as proposed, would require life insurance companies to compare their in-force life insurance policy records against a Death Master File for the purpose of proactively identifying potentially deceased insureds for whom the subject life insurance company has not yet received a claim, including due proof of death. Ten states have enacted legislation of this type, with varying effective dates (the “DMF Statutes”). Such statutes, if construed to apply to life insurance policies in force on the statute’s effective date, could have a significant effect on, including an acceleration of, the payment of life insurance benefits to beneficiaries or, in instances where beneficiaries could not be located, the remittance of such benefits to the states under their unclaimed property laws. In contrast, New Mexico and Tennessee have enacted a version of the model legislation that applies only prospectively to life insurance companies, like Kemper’s Life Companies, that have not previously used a Death Master File. Similarly, Georgia, Mississippi and Alabama have enacted statutes that apply only to policies issued on or after January 1, 2015, July 1, 2015 and January 1, 2016, respectively, without regard to prior Death Master File use. Various forms of DMF legislation remain pending in three states whose 2014 legislatures are still in session and Kemper believes that it is likely that a number of other states will introduce (or re-introduce) legislation of this sort in future legislative sessions. Kemper cannot presently predict whether any of such pending or future legislation will be enacted or, if enacted, exactly what form such legislation will take.

In November 2012, certain of the Life Companies filed a declaratory judgment action in Kentucky state court challenging the validity of the Kentucky DMF Statute on statutory and constitutional grounds, insofar as it purports to impose new requirements with respect to existing, previously issued life insurance policies. The trial court in that case denied the subject Life Companies’ motion for summary judgment and held that the requirements of the Kentucky DMF Statute apply to life insurance policies issued before the Kentucky DMF Statute’s January 1, 2013 effective date. The case is on appeal by the subject Life Companies. The Kentucky Court of Appeals has issued a stay of enforcement, preventing the Kentucky DMF Statute from being applied to the subject Life Companies’ life insurance policies issued prior to the Statute’s effective date, pending appeal. Oral arguments were heard in Kemper’s appeal by the Kentucky Court of Appeals on July 22, 2014. A decision by the Court of Appeals is expected by the fall of 2014.

In July 2013, certain of the Life Companies filed a declaratory judgment action, similar to the Kentucky proceeding, in Maryland state court challenging the validity of the Maryland DMF Statute on constitutional and common law grounds, insofar as it purports to impose new requirements on life insurance policies issued prior to the Statute’s October 1, 2013 effective date. The Maryland Insurance Administration filed a motion to dismiss the action on jurisdictional grounds, contending that the Life Companies failed to first exhaust their administrative remedies. In March 2014, the trial court granted the State’s motion. The Life Companies have appealed the trial court’s ruling to the Maryland Court of Special Appeals. A decision by the Maryland Court of Special Appeals is unlikely before the second quarter of 2015. The Maryland appellate courts have declined to stay enforcement of the Maryland DMF Statute pending the appeal and the Life Companies are complying with the Maryland DMF Statute while they continue to pursue their appeal.

The Life Companies are the subject of an unclaimed property compliance audit (the “Treasurers’ Audit”) by a private audit firm retained by the Treasurers of thirty-eight states (the “Audit Firm”). In July 2013, the California State Controller (the “CA Controller”) filed a complaint for injunctive relief against the Life Companies in state court in California, seeking an order requiring the Life Companies to produce all of their in-force insurance policy records to the Audit Firm to enable the firm to perform a comparison of such records against a Death Master File and to ascertain whether any of the insureds under such policies may be deceased. In December 2013, the CA Controller filed a motion for preliminary injunction seeking the same injunctive relief. A hearing on that motion was continued until November 2014 or until the California Court of Appeals rules on a preliminary injunction order issued in a related case involving an unaffiliated life insurance company, entitled Chiang v. American National Insurance Company (the “ANICO Appeal”), whichever is later. The Life Companies have filed a counterclaim in this case against the CA Controller, seeking a declaration that there is no obligation under California’s unclaimed property law to perform a Death Master File comparison and that the Audit Firm cannot obtain the Life Companies’ records for the purpose of performing such a comparison. The CA Controller has filed a motion to dismiss the counterclaim, contending that the Life Companies’ request for a declaratory judgment of their rights and obligations under California’s

unclaimed property law is premature and not ripe for adjudication. A hearing on that motion has also been continued by the court until November 2014 or until the Court of Appeals issues its decision in the ANICO Appeal, whichever is later. On July 22, 2014, the court granted a motion by the CA Controller to stay the litigation in its entirety, including all discovery, pending a decision by the Court of Appeals in the ANICO Appeal. The court’s decision to stay the Controller’s case against Kemper means that no substantive ruling is likely to occur until sometime in 2015. Pending the outcome of this litigation, the Life Companies have not produced any of their in-force policy records to the CA Controller.

The Life Companies are the subject of a multi-state market conduct examination by six state insurance regulators that is focused on the Life Companies’ claim settlement and policy administration practices, and specifically their compliance with state unclaimed property statutes (the “Multi-State Exam”). In July 2013, the Life Companies received requests from the Illinois Department of Insurance, as the managing lead state for the Multi-State Exam, for a significant volume of information beyond that which the Life Companies had already produced, including all of the subject Life Companies’ records of in-force policies and other information of the type requested by the Audit Firm as part of the Treasurers’ Audit and which is the subject of the CA Controller’s complaint.

In September 2013, certain of the Life Companies filed declaratory judgment actions against the insurance regulators in four states participating in the Multi-State Exam (Illinois, California, Pennsylvania and Florida), asking the courts in those states to declare that applicable insurance laws do not require life insurers to search a Death Master File to ascertain whether insureds are deceased. The subject Life Companies are also asking the courts to declare that regulators in those states do not have legal authority to (i) obtain life insurers’ policy records for the purpose of comparing data from those records against a Death Master File, and/or (ii) impose payment obligations on life insurers before a claim and due proof of death have been submitted by policy beneficiaries. The Illinois Department of Insurance and its Director (collectively, the “IDOI”) have filed a motion to dismiss, contending that the Life Companies’ request for a declaratory judgment of their rights and obligations under the Illinois Insurance Code is premature and not ripe for adjudication and that the Life Companies must exhaust administrative remedies before requesting such a declaratory judgment. A hearing on the Illinois Department of Insurance’s motion was held on May 29, 2014.On July 29, 2014, the court issued its ruling, which granted in part and denied in part the IDOI’s motion. Specifically, the court denied the IDOI’s motion to dismiss the Life Companies’ claim seeking a declaration that the IDOI cannot compel the Life Companies to provide their policy records to the IDOI or persons acting on the IDOI’s behalf so as to permit a comparison against the DMF for purposes of identifying deceased insureds, as well as the Life Companies’ associated claim for injunctive relief. The court dismissed with prejudice the other counts in the complaint. The IDOI is now obligated to answer the remaining claims in the complaint by August 26, 2014. The Life Companies’ actions against regulators in Pennsylvania and Florida are stayed by agreement of the parties pending the outcome of the Illinois action. The action against regulators in California, which was filed as part of a counterclaim in the CA Controller litigation, is stayed as described above.

Should these various efforts by state officials succeed in retroactively imposing new claims handling and escheatment requirements with regard to previously issued life insurance policies, they could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s profitability, financial position and cash flows. The Company’s stance in opposition to the aforementioned actions by state legislators, Treasurers and insurance regulators, including the Company’s initiation of the litigation described above, also creates a risk of reputational damage to the Company among various constituencies (including its principal insurance regulators, rating agencies, investors, insurance agents and policyholders) if the Company’s position is not ultimately vindicated.

See Note 12, “Contingencies,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the sections of the MD&A entitled “Life & Health Insurance” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for additional information on the litigation and regulatory proceedings and other matters described above.
