Note 1 Reporting and Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

Infinity Property and Casualty Corporation (“Infinity” or the “Company”) is a holding company that, through subsidiaries, provides personal automobile insurance with a concentration on nonstandard auto insurance. Although licensed to write insurance in all 50 states, Infinity is committed to growth within selected states that management believes offer the greatest opportunity for premium growth and profitability, including Infinity’s largest state, California, which currently generates approximately 53% of Infinity’s total gross written premiums.

Basis of Consolidation and Reporting

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with Infinity Property and Casualty Corporation’s (“Infinity” or the “Company”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, focuses on Infinity’s financial performance since the beginning of the year.

These financial statements reflect certain adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of Infinity’s results of operations and financial position. Such adjustments consist of normal, recurring accruals recorded to accurately match expenses with their related revenue streams and the elimination of all significant inter-company transactions and balances.

Estimates

Certain accounts and balances within these financial statements are based upon management’s estimates and assumptions. The amount of reserves for claims not yet paid, for example, is an item that can only be recorded by estimation. Unrealized capital gains and losses on investments are subject to market fluctuations, and managerial judgment is required in the determination of whether unrealized losses on certain securities are temporary or other-than-temporary. Should actual results differ significantly from these estimates, the effects on Infinity’s results of operations could be material. The results of operations for the periods presented may not be indicative of the Company’s results for the entire year.

New Accounting Standards

Infinity adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and 140” (“SFAS 155”) effective as of January 1, 2007. SFAS 155 permits the fair value remeasurement of any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation under SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”); clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to requirements of SFAS 133; establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or hybrid financial instruments that contains an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation; and clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives. There was no impact to the accounting for the hybrid contract owned on the date of adoption. All securities acquired on or after January 1, 2007 will be accounted for in accordance with the new guidelines.

Effective January 1, 2007, Infinity adopted the FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 creates a single model to address accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. Additionally, FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes, by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest, and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on Infinity’s financial position and results of operations (See Note 6 of the Consolidated Financial Statements).

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about the information used to measure fair value. SFAS 157 applies whenever other accounting pronouncements require, or permit, assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value; it does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Based on the Company’s current use of fair value measurements, SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position of the Company.

INFINITY PROPERTY AND CASUALTY CORPORATION 10-Q

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”) which permits entities to voluntarily choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable. If the fair value is elected for an instrument, the statement specifies that entities report unrealized gains and losses at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on the results of operations or financial position of the Company.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on total assets, total liabilities, total shareholders’ equity or net income as previously reported.

Note 2 Share-Based Compensation

Restricted Stock Plan

Infinity’s Restricted Stock Plan was established in 2002. There were 500,000 shares of Infinity common stock reserved for issuance under the Restricted Stock Plan, of which 134,375 shares have been issued through March 31, 2007. The fair value of shares issued under Infinity’s Restricted Stock Plan is recorded as unearned compensation and expensed over the vesting periods of the awards based on the market value of Infinity’s stock on the date of grant. In February 2006, 44,792 shares of restricted stock vested under Infinity’s Restricted Stock Plan. There have been no restricted stock grants or vesting of shares since the first quarter of 2006 and there are currently no unvested restricted outstanding shares.

Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Ownership Plan

In May 2005, Infinity’s shareholders approved the Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Ownership Plan (“Directors’ Plan”). The purpose of the Directors’ Plan is to include Infinity common stock as part of the compensation provided to its non-employee directors and to provide for stock ownership requirements for Infinity’s non-employee directors. There are 200,000 shares of Infinity common stock reserved for issuance under the Directors Plan, of which 6,895 shares have been issued through March 31, 2007. Under the terms of the Directors’ Plan, shares are granted on or about June 1 of each year and are restricted from sale or transfer by any recipient for six months from the date of grant.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Infinity established the Employee Stock Purchase Plan in 2004. Under this plan, all eligible full-time employees may purchase shares of Infinity common stock at a 15% discount to the current market price. Employees may allocate up to 25% of their base salary with a maximum annual participation amount of $25,000. The source of shares issued to participants is treasury shares and/or authorized but previously unissued shares. The maximum number of shares which may be issued under the ESPP may not exceed 1,000,000, of which 20,285 had been issued through March 31, 2007. Infinity’s ESPP is qualified under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The 15% discount for shares purchased during three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, approximated $9,100 and $12,000, respectively, and was recognized as compensation expense in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings in each period. Participants’ shares are treated as issued and outstanding for earnings per share calculations.

Stock Option Plan

Infinity’s Stock Option Plan (“the SOP”) was established with 2,000,000 shares (subject to anti-dilution provisions) of Infinity common stock reserved for issuance under the SOP. Infinity’s Compensation Committee (“the Committee”) administers the plan. Each member of the Committee is an “outside director,” as such term is defined under Section 162(m) of the Code, as a “Non-Employee Director” as defined in Rule 16b-3(b) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

INFINITY PROPERTY AND CASUALTY CORPORATION 10-Q

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Through March 31, 2007, there were 1,392,820 shares available for grant under the SOP. No options have been granted since 2004. The SOP allows forfeited options to be reissued. Options are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the closing price of Infinity’s stock at the date of grant and have a 10-year contractual life. Options granted to employees generally vest at the rate of 20% per year of continuous service commencing one year after grant while options issued to non-employee directors are immediately exercisable. For options with graded vesting, the fair value of the award is recognized on a straight-line method. Certain options provide for acceleration of vesting if there is a change in control as defined in the SOP. Subject to specific limitations contained in the SOP, Infinity’s Board of Directors has the ability to amend, suspend or terminate the plan at any time without shareholder approval. Unless earlier terminated, the plan may continue in effect until December 16, 2012.

As permitted by SFAS 123(R), Infinity used the modified Black-Scholes model to estimate the value of employee stock options on the date of grant that used the assumptions noted below. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of Infinity’s stock. Infinity judgmentally selected the expected option life to be 7.5 years which is also the midpoint between the last vesting date and the end of the contractual term. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the options is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The dividend yield was based on expected dividends at the time of grant.

Payment for shares purchased upon exercise of an option must be made in cash. The Committee, however, may permit payment by delivery of shares of common stock already owned by the optionee having a fair market value equal to the cash option price of the shares, by assigning the proceeds of a sale or loan with respect to some or all of the shares being acquired (subject to applicable law), by a combination of the foregoing or by any other method.

Persons who receive options incur no federal income tax liability at the time of grant. Persons exercising nonqualified options recognize taxable income, and Infinity has a tax deduction at the time of exercise to the extent of the difference between market price on the day of exercise and the exercise price. Persons exercising incentive stock options do not recognize taxable income until they sell the underlying common stock. Sales within two years of the date of grant or one year of the date of exercise result in taxable income to the holder and a deduction for Infinity, both measured by the difference between the market price at the time of sale and the exercise price. Sales after such period are treated as capital transactions to the holder, and Infinity receives no deduction. The foregoing is only a summary of the federal income tax rules applicable to options granted under the plan and is not intended to be complete. In addition, this summary does not discuss the effect of the income or other tax laws of any state or foreign country in which a participant may reside.

The weighted-average-grant-date fair values of options granted during 2004 and 2003 were estimated using the modified Black-Scholes valuation model and the following weighted-average assumptions:


	2004 Grants			2003 Grants
Weighted-average-grant date fair value	$	13	.87	$	5	.97
Dividend yield		0	.7%		1	.4%
Expected volatility		33	.0%		33	.0%
Risk-free interest rate		4	.3%		4	.0%
Expected life		7	.5 years		7	.5 years
Weighted-average-grant exercise price	$	33	.56	$	16	.11

INFINITY PROPERTY AND CASUALTY CORPORATION 10-Q

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The following chart describes activity for Infinity’s Stock Option Plan for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007:


Options	Number of Options		Weighted-average Exercise Price		Weighted-average Remaining Term (in years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value (a) (in millions)
Outstanding as of December 31, 2006	450,016		$	23.23
Granted	—			—
Exercised	(20,948	)		25.15
Forfeited	(2,000	)		33.58

Outstanding as of March 31, 2007	427,068		$	23.09	6.28	$	10.2

Vested or expected to vest as of March 31, 2007	427,068		$	23.09	6.28	$	10.2
Exercisable as of March 31, 2007	282,432		$	22.32	6.24	$	6.9

(a)	The intrinsic value for the stock options is calculated based on the difference between the exercise price of the underlying awards and Infinity’s closing stock price as of the reporting date.

SFAS 123(R) requires the recognition of stock-based compensation for the number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest. As of March 31, 2007, Infinity used an estimated forfeiture rate of 0.0%. Estimated forfeitures will be reassessed in subsequent periods and may change based on new facts and circumstances.

Cash received from option exercises for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 were $0.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively. The actual tax benefit realized for the tax deductions from options exercised of share-based payment arrangements totaled $0.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively, for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, was approximately $0.5 million and $1.6 million, respectively.

As of March 31, 2007, there was $1.3 million of stock option compensation expense related to non-vested awards not yet recognized in the consolidated financial statements, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.9 years. The total fair value of stock option and restricted stock shares which vested during the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was approximately $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

Infinity has a policy of issuing new stock for the exercise of stock options.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 4 Long-Term Debt

In February 2004, Infinity issued $200 million principal of senior notes due February 2014 (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes accrue interest at an effective yield of 5.55% and bear a coupon of 5.5%, payable semiannually. At the time the notes were issued, Infinity capitalized $2.1 million of debt issuance costs, which are being amortized over the term of the Senior Notes. The March 31, 2007 fair value of $195.0 million was calculated using a 130 basis point spread to the ten-year U.S. Treasury Note of 4.65%, which was obtained from Bloomberg, a national broker quotation network.

In August 2005, Infinity entered into an agreement for a $50 million three-year revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) that requires Infinity to meet certain financial and other covenants. Infinity is currently in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement. At March 31, 2007 and 2006, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

Provision for income taxes as shown on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings	$	11,226		$	14,640

GAAP effective tax rate		34.0	%		33.5	%

In the first quarter of 2007, Infinity increased its tax valuation allowance by approximately $149,000 primarily due to a basis difference in the sale of other-than-temporary impaired securities.

Infinity reduced its tax valuation allowance by approximately $72,000 during the first quarter of 2006 in recognition of approximately $200,000 of capital gains realized during the first three months of 2006, which had an immaterial impact on basic earnings per share for the three-month period ended March 31, 2006.

Infinity adopted the provisions of FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. As of the date of adoption, Infinity did not have any gross unrecognized tax benefits that would exceed a materiality threshold and therefore, there was no reduction to Retained Earnings in Infinity’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at January 1, 2007.

Infinity does not have any interest or penalties accrued for unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2007.

Infinity is not currently under examination by the IRS. The statute of limitations for the post-IPO short period from February 12, 2003 through December 31, 2003 and the calendar years 2004 and 2005 have not expired.

Note 9 Restructuring Charges

In October 2006, Infinity announced plans to consolidate certain of its customer service, centralized claims and information technology back-office operations. The objective of the restructuring is to improve service levels and to more consistently and cost effectively manage the operations. During the fourth quarter of 2006, Infinity recorded a $4.8 million, pretax, charge related to severance costs. During the first quarter of 2007, Infinity had a net decrease in restructuring costs of $0.2 million, pretax, due to a net adjustment reduction of $0.8 million of employee related costs which was partially offset by additional costs of approximately $0.6 million, pretax, primarily due to a leased facility closing as of March 31, 2007. Infinity does expect to incur additional expenses as additional facilities affected by the restructuring are sublet or closed during the remainder of 2007.

INFINITY PROPERTY AND CASUALTY CORPORATION 10-Q

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The restructuring charges activity for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 is summarized as follows (in thousands):


	Employee related costs			Contract termination costs		Other exit costs			Total liability
Balance at December 31, 2006	$	4,782		$	—	$	—		$	4,782
Incurred/Expensed in current period		—			549		65			614
Cash payments		(417	)		—		(65	)		(482	)
Net adjustments		(812	)		—		—			(812	)

Balance at March 31, 2007	$	3,553		$	549	$	—		$	4,102

Net adjustments in the employee related costs are primarily due to the following: (1) the decision not to centralize certain smaller departments and (2) the actual attrition being different than estimated attrition. During the fourth quarter of 2006, Infinity recorded 100% of the estimated severance assuming no attrition. In future quarters, the amount of severance costs accrued will continue to be adjusted by actual attrition.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain statements that may be deemed to be “forward-looking statements” that anticipate results based on our estimates, assumptions and plans that are subject to uncertainty. These statements are made subject to the safe-harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements in this report not dealing with historical results or current facts are forward-looking and are based on estimates, assumptions, and projections. Statements which include the words “believes,” “seeks,” “expects,” “may,” “should,” “intends,” “likely,” “targets,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “estimates” or the negative version of those words and similar statements of a future or forward-looking nature identify forward-looking statements. Examples of such forward-looking statements include statements relating to expectations concerning market conditions, premiums, growth, earnings, investment performance, expected losses, rate changes and loss experience.

Actual results could differ materially from those expected by Infinity depending on: changes in economic conditions and financial markets (including interest rates), the adequacy or accuracy of Infinity’s pricing methodologies, actions of competitors, the approval of requested form and rate changes, judicial and regulatory developments affecting the automobile insurance industry, the outcome of pending litigation against Infinity, weather conditions (including the severity and frequency of storms, hurricanes, snowfalls, hail and winter conditions), changes in driving patterns and loss trends. Infinity undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any of the forward-looking statements. For a more detailed discussion of some of the foregoing risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements, see “Risk Factors” contained in Item 1A of this report as well as in Item 1A of Infinity’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006.

OVERVIEW

While industry conditions remained competitive in the first quarter of 2007, Infinity successfully grew its premiums in the Focus States, including California, Texas and Arizona. A substantial portion of California’s growth can be attributed to new policies issued because of electronic enforcement by the Bureau of Motor Vehicles of the state’s compulsory insurance laws. Growth in other Focus States came as a result of Infinity’s aggressive marketing and agency appointment efforts as part of its initiative to grow its targeted urban areas.

Net earnings and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2007 were $21.8 million and $1.10, respectively, compared to $29.1 million and $1.39 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Net earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006 included $0.7 million, ($1.1 million pre-tax) and $12.4 million ($19.0 million pre-tax), respectively, of favorable development on prior accident period loss, and LAE reserves. Excluding the favorable development, diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2007 were $1.07 compared to $0.80 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Book value per share of $34.87 at March 31, 2007 represents an 11.9% increase over the book value per share of $31.16 at March 31, 2006. Return on equity for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was 13.0%, exceeding Infinity’s long-term goal of 12.0%.

Total revenues increased 9.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 primarily from a 9.4% increase in earned premiums. Gross written premiums increased 17.2% during the first quarter of 2007 compared to the same period in 2007, primarily from growth in Arizona, California, Florida and Texas. See Results of Operations – Underwriting – Premiums for a more detailed discussion of Infinity’s gross written premium growth.

Underwriting margins remained strong during the first quarter of 2007, with a reported GAAP combined ratio of 92.5% compared to the 86.6% reported for the first quarter of 2006. Excluding the favorable development on prior accident period loss and LAE reserves, the GAAP combined ratio during the first quarter of 2007 was 92.9% compared with 94.7% during the first quarter of 2006. See Results of Operations – Underwriting – Profitability for a more detailed discussion of Infinity’s underwriting results.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Underwriting

Premiums

Infinity’s insurance subsidiaries provide personal automobile insurance products with a concentration on nonstandard auto insurance. While there is no industry-recognized definition of nonstandard auto insurance, Infinity believes that it is generally understood to mean coverage for drivers who, due to their driving record, age or vehicle type, represent higher than normal risks and pay higher rates for comparable coverage. Infinity also writes commercial vehicle insurance, and insurance for classic collectible automobiles (“Classic Collector”).

INFINITY PROPERTY AND CASUALTY CORPORATION 10-Q

Infinity is licensed to write insurance in all 50 states, but is committed to growth in targeted urban areas (“Urban Zones”) identified within selected focus states that management believes offer the greatest opportunity for premium growth and profitability.

Infinity classifies the states in which it operates into three categories:

•

“Focus States” – States in which Infinity has identified Urban Zones for 2007 and 2008. These states include: Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Texas.

•

“Maintenance States” – Infinity is maintaining its renewal writing in these states which include Alabama, Indiana, Mississippi, Ohio, South Carolina and Virginia. These states contain no Urban Zones, but still offer Infinity an opportunity for underwriting profit.

•

“Other States” – Includes all remaining states.

Infinity further classifies the Focus States into two categories:

•

“Urban Zones” – include the following urban areas:

•

Arizona – Phoenix

•

California – Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Diego, San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley

•

Connecticut – Hartford

•

Florida – Jacksonville, Miami, Orlando and Tampa

•

Georgia – Atlanta

•

Missouri – Saint Louis

•

Pennsylvania – Philadelphia

•

Tennessee – Nashville

•

Texas – Dallas, El Paso, Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio

•

“Non-Urban Zones” – include planned 2008 Urban Zones from the Focus States of Colorado, Illinois and Nevada, as well as, all remaining areas in the Focus States that have not been identified as an Urban Zone.

Infinity continually evaluates its market opportunities, thus the Focus States or Urban Zones may change over time as new market opportunities arise, as the allocation of resources changes, or as a result of changes in regulatory environments.

Gross written premiums for the first three months of 2007 increased 17.2% compared to the first three months of 2006. During the first quarter of 2007, Infinity filed and implemented 17 rate revisions in various states with an overall rate impact of a 0.7% increase. Policies-in-force at March 31, 2007 increased 14.3% compared to March 31, 2006.

Personal auto insurance writings in Infinity’s Focus States increased 23.8% during the first quarter of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006 primarily as a result of a 22.5% increase in gross written premiums in California. The growth in California continues to benefit from new policies issued as a result of the California Department of Motor Vehicles implementation of electronic enforcement of compulsory insurance laws that were effective as of October 1, 2006. Premiums also increased significantly in Arizona, Florida, Nevada and Texas. All of the Urban Zones posted gross written premiums growth in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the first quarter of 2006 which represents 89.8% of the total premiums increase in the Focus States. Business in Los Angeles, Phoenix and Houston contributed $30.2 million of the $47.5 million increase in gross premiums written in the Urban Zones.

INFINITY PROPERTY AND CASUALTY CORPORATION 10-Q

Gross written premiums in the Maintenance States declined 15.1% during the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006. Infinity increased rates in South Carolina five points in December 2006 in an effort to improve underwriting margins and, as a result, premiums have decreased during the first quarter of 2007.

Gross written premiums for the Commercial Vehicle business declined 12.4% during the first quarter of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006 primarily from a decline in Florida. To improve underwriting results in Florida, Infinity increased rates nine points during the fourth quarter of 2006, and, as a result, commercial vehicle premiums declined substantially during the first quarter of 2007. Excluding Florida, gross written premiums for the Commercial Vehicle business was relatively flat for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006.

Gross written premiums in the Classic Collector book of business grew 9.5% for three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the first three months in 2006.

Ceded reinsurance and the effects of unearned premium transfers grew 62.5% in the first three months of 2007 compared to the first three months of 2006. This increase was primarily a result of the first three months of 2006 including a one-time unearned premium transfer of $0.7 million. Without the effect of the 2006 unearned premium transfer, ceded reinsurance declined 17.1% during the three-month period ended March 31, 2007 compared to the same period of 2006. Infinity maintains an excess loss reinsurance treaty for higher limits personal auto liability coverages. Premiums ceded under this treaty have declined since Infinity sold the renewal rights on the Great American Insurance book of business in Connecticut, which consisted predominantly of higher policy limits for standard and preferred business.

Profitability

A key operating performance measure for insurance companies is underwriting profitability, as opposed to overall profitability or net earnings. Underwriting profitability is measured by the combined ratio. When the combined ratio is under 100%, underwriting results are generally considered profitable; when the ratio is over 100%, underwriting results are generally considered unprofitable. The combined ratio does not reflect investment income, other income, other expenses or federal income taxes.

While financial data is reported in accordance with GAAP for shareholder and other investment purposes, data is reported on a statutory basis for insurance regulatory purposes. Infinity evaluates underwriting profitability based on a combined ratio calculated using statutory accounting principles. The statutory combined ratio represents the sum of the following ratios: (i) losses and LAE incurred as a percentage of net earned premiums and (ii) underwriting expenses incurred as a percentage of net written premiums. Certain expenses are treated differently under statutory and GAAP accounting principles. Under GAAP, commissions, premium taxes and other variable costs incurred in connection with writing new and renewal business are capitalized as deferred policy acquisition costs and amortized on a pro rata basis over the period in which the related premiums are earned; on a statutory basis these items are expensed as incurred. In addition, costs for computer software developed or obtained for internal use are capitalized under GAAP and amortized over their useful life, rather than expensed as incurred, as required for statutory purposes.

In evaluating the profit performance of Infinity’s business, Infinity’s management reviews underwriting profitability using statutory combined ratios. Accordingly, the discussion of underwriting results that follows will focus on these ratios and the components thereof.

Overall, the statutory combined ratio for the three months ended March, 31, 2007 has increased 5.1 points compared to the same period a year ago. The first quarter of 2007 and 2006 benefited from $1.1 million and $19.0 million, respectively, of prior year development on loss and LAE reserves. The favorable development during the first quarter of 2006 was primarily attributable to Florida and California. Excluding the impact of the favorable development, the statutory combined ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006 were 90.6% and 93.2%, respectively. The decline in the statutory combined ratio excluding the favorable development is primarily attributable to improving loss and LAE ratios in California, Florida, Georgia, Arizona and Texas. Catastrophe losses during the first three months of 2007 and 2006 were $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

The statutory combined ratio for personal auto insurance in the Focus States increased 6.7 points in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. The 7.8 point increase in the loss and LAE ratio is primarily a result of the $19.0 million of favorable development recognized during the first quarter of 2006, of which the majority related to Florida and California. Statutory combined ratios for the three months ended March 31, 2007 were below 100% in all but four of the Focus States.

In the Maintenance States, the loss and LAE ratio increase of 12.7 points is due primarily to unfavorable development on prior period loss and LAE reserves in Alabama. Offsetting this increase in loss and LAE ratio is a decrease in the underwriting ratio of 5.5 points. A decrease in Alabama premium taxes and an increase in fee income, which reduces underwriting expenses, contributed to a decline in the underwriting ratio in the Maintenance States.

The combined ratio for Commercial Vehicle declined primarily as a result of favorable development on prior accident year loss and LAE reserve in Florida, New York and Louisiana. Offsetting the decline in the loss and LAE ratio was a 3.0 point increase in the underwriting expense ratio which is primarily a result of an assessment refund from the state of New York recorded during the first quarter of 2006.

Investment Income

Investment income is comprised primarily of gross investment revenue, investment management fees and expenses, as shown in the following table (in thousands):


	Three months ended March 31,
	2007			2006
Gross investment income	$	17,629		$	17,501
Gross investment expenses		(735	)		(620	)

Net investment income	$	16,894		$	16,881

Changes in investment income reflect fluctuations in market rates and changes in average invested assets. Investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was impacted by lower book yields on a larger total fixed maturity investment portfolio.

Infinity recorded impairments for unrealized losses deemed other-than-temporary and realized gains and losses on sales and disposals, as follows (before tax, in thousands):


	Three months ended March 31, 2007								Three months ended March 31, 2006
	Impairments on securities held			Realized gains (losses) on sales		Total realized gains (losses)			Impairments on securities held			Realized gains (losses) on sales			Total realized gains (losses)
Fixed maturities	$	(812	)	$	246	$	(566	)	$	(435	)	$	(104	)	$	(539	)

Equities		—			2,332		2,332			(138	)		752			614

Total	$	(812	)	$	2,578	$	1,766		$	(573	)	$	648		$	75

The other-than-temporary impairments in the three-month period ended March 31, 2007, related primarily to one mortgage-backed fixed income security. The impairments in the 2006 period related primarily to fixed income securities and an equity security for firms in the financial services industry.

For Infinity’s remaining securities held with unrealized losses, management believes that, based on its analysis (i) Infinity will recover its cost basis in these securities in a relatively short period of time and/or (ii) that Infinity has the ability and intent to hold these securities until they mature or recover in value. Should either of these beliefs change with regard to a particular security, a charge for impairment would likely be required. While it is not possible to accurately predict if or when a specific security will become impaired, charges for other-than-temporary impairments could be material to results of operations in a future period. Management believes it is not likely that future impairment charges will have a significant effect on Infinity’s liquidity.

Had Infinity recorded additional impairment charges on all its unrealized losses that were more than twelve months old at March 31, 2007, the pre-tax earnings impact would have been $12.2 million. Infinity has both the ability and intent to hold those securities with unrealized losses for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

Interest Expense

The Senior Notes accrued interest at an effective yield of 5.55% (Refer to Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the Senior Notes). Interest expense on the Senior Notes and recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was $2.8 million and $2.8 million, respectively.

Other Income

Other income for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 was $0.3 million compared to $0.7 million for the corresponding period of 2006. Other income decreased $0.4 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007 compared to the corresponding period of 2006 primarily due to the continued decline of finance charge income from assumed business that is in run-off.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Sources of Funds

Infinity is organized as a holding company with all of its operations being conducted by its insurance subsidiaries. Accordingly, Infinity will have continuing cash needs for administrative expenses, the payment of interest on borrowings, shareholder dividends, share repurchases and taxes. Administrative expenses at the holding company have averaged approximately $7.0 million annually since 2004.

At March 31, 2007, Infinity had outstanding $200 million principal of Senior Notes due 2014, bearing a fixed 5.5% interest rate. Interest payments on the Senior Notes of $5.5 million are due each February and August through maturity in February 2014. (Refer to Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the Senior Notes).

In February 2007, Infinity increased its quarterly dividend to $.090 per share from $.075 per share. At this current amount, Infinity’s 2007 annualized dividend payments would be approximately $7.0 million.

In January 2005, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program expiring on December 31, 2007, whereby the Company could repurchase up to an aggregate amount of $50 million of its outstanding common shares. During the first quarter of 2006, Infinity repurchased 85,000 shares at a total cost of $3.5 million. This program was completed on December 28, 2006.

In October 2006, the Company announced that the Board of Directors approved a second share repurchase program expiring on the earliest of December 31, 2008 or the completion of all purchases contemplated by the Plan, whereby the Company may repurchase up to an aggregate amount of $100 million of its outstanding common shares. During the first quarter of 2007, Infinity repurchased 187,794 shares at an average cost of $47.83.

Funds to meet Infinity’s cash needs come primarily from dividends and tax payments from the insurance subsidiaries, as well as cash and investments held by the holding company. As of March 31, 2007, Infinity had $224 million of cash and investments. In 2006, Infinity’s insurance subsidiaries paid Infinity $160.0 million in ordinary dividends. In 2007, Infinity’s insurance subsidiaries may pay to Infinity up to $113.8 million in ordinary dividends without prior regulatory approval. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2007, no dividends have been paid by the insurance subsidiaries.

In August 2005, Infinity entered into an agreement for a $50 million three-year revolving credit facility that includes requirements to meet certain financial and other covenants. Infinity is currently in compliance with all covenants under the agreement. Under this agreement, there were no borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2007.

INFINITY PROPERTY AND CASUALTY CORPORATION 10-Q

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Infinity’s insurance subsidiaries generate liquidity to satisfy their obligations, primarily by collecting and investing premiums in advance of paying claims. Infinity’s insurance subsidiaries’ cash flow from operations was approximately $33.7 million and $9.3 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. In addition, to satisfy their obligations, Infinity’s insurance subsidiaries have available the proceeds from maturing, and sales of, securities from its $1.1 billion fixed maturity portfolio at March 31, 2007.

Management believes that cash and investment balances, cash flows generated from operations or borrowings, and maturities and sales of investments are adequate to meet the future liquidity needs for Infinity and its insurance subsidiaries.

Reinsurance

Infinity utilizes excess of loss and catastrophe reinsurance to mitigate the financial impact of large or catastrophe losses. The catastrophe reinsurance provides protection for losses up to $10 million in excess of $5 million for any single event. Infinity’s excess of loss reinsurance provides reinsurance protection for commercial auto losses up to $700,000 for claims exceeding $300,000 per occurrence and personal auto losses up to $900,000 for claims exceeding $100,000 per occurrence per coverage. Premiums ceded under these agreements for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 were $1.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively. Infinity also utilizes reinsurance to mitigate losses on other lines including its small homeowners book, which is currently in runoff.

Investments

Infinity’s consolidated investment portfolio at March 31, 2007 contained approximately $1.2 billion in fixed maturity securities and $48.1 million in equity securities, all carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity on an after-tax basis. At March 31, 2007, Infinity had pre-tax net unrealized losses of $3.1 million on fixed maturities and pre-tax unrealized gains of $0.4 million on equity securities. Combined, the pre-tax net unrealized losses decreased by $2.7 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007, primarily due to a decline in general market interest rates.

Approximately 94% of Infinity’s fixed maturity investments at March 31, 2007 were rated “investment grade,” and as of the same date, the average credit rating of Infinity’s fixed maturity portfolio was Aa2. Investment grade securities generally bear lower yields and have lower degrees of risk than those that are unrated or non-investment grade. Management believes that a high quality investment portfolio is more likely to generate a stable and predictable investment return.

Since all of these securities are carried at fair value in the balance sheet, there is virtually no effect on liquidity or financial condition upon the sale and ultimate realization of unrealized gains and losses. The average duration of Infinity’s fixed maturity portfolio was 3.3 years at March 31, 2007.

Securities that do not have a single maturity date are reported at average maturity. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because certain securities may be called or prepaid by the issuers. The table below sets forth the scheduled maturities of fixed maturity securities at March 31, 2007, based on their fair values (in thousands).

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1A

Risk Factors

The following risk should be read in conjunction with other information provided in this report and with the risk factors discussed in Item 1A of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Recently-enacted California regulations may materially adversely affect the Company’s profitability.

Effective April 3, 2007, California adopted amended rate approval regulations (“Amended Regulations”), which, among other changes, establishes, for personal auto and most other lines of property and casualty insurance written in California, a maximum permitted after-tax rate of return on invested capital at an insurance company level, currently set at 10.8%. In anticipation of these and recently adopted rating factor regulations, prior to the effectiveness of the regulations, the Company had submitted class plan and rate filings to the California Department of Insurance (“CDI”), which provided for overall rate decreases of approximately 4%.

The CDI and the Company are currently in discussions in an effort to attempt to resolve informally; (i) substantial differences in the rate indications submitted by the Company and those formulated by the CDI; (ii) issues over the application of the Amended Regulations to filings made prior to the effective date of the Amended Regulations; and (iii) the extent to which variances from the Amended Regulations provisions on rate of return, loss development and trend will be afforded the Company. If agreements on these issues cannot be reached, the CDI will proceed to disapprove the Company’s rate filings and request a hearing for determination by an administrative law judge of permitted rate levels. It is possible that permitted rate levels, whether arrived at through a negotiated settlement with the CDI or in administrative hearing, could be significantly lower than those applied for by the Company. In such an event, given the large percentage of Infinity’s overall business represented by California, the Company’s profitability would be materially adversely affected beginning with the 2008 fiscal year.
