The company’s income before income tax was $0.99m for the second quarter compared to $0.95m for the same quarter prior year.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2010, the company posted net income of $0.75m, or $0.06 per share, compared to $0.67m, or $0.06 per share, for the same period last year.

American Independence CEO Roy Thung said that the company’s financial condition and balance sheet remain strong and its investment portfolio continues to be rated, on average, AA and has a low duration, which enables it to reinvest in much higher yielding longer-term securities, which would significantly increase investment income.
