NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Note 1. Basis of Presentation</B>

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;AMERISAFE, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) is an insurance holding company incorporated in the state of
Texas. Based on voting shares, the Company is 40.7% owned by Welsh, Carson, Anderson and Stowe VII
L.P. and its affiliate WCAS Healthcare Partners, L.P. The accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries:
American Interstate Insurance Company (&#147;AIIC&#148;), Silver Oak Casualty, Inc. (&#147;SOCI&#148;), American
Interstate Insurance Company of Texas (&#147;AIICTX&#148;), Amerisafe Risk Services, Inc. (&#147;RISK&#148;) and
Amerisafe General Agency, Inc. (&#147;AGAI&#148;). AIIC and SOCI are property and casualty insurance
companies domiciled in the state of Louisiana. AIICTX is a property and casualty insurance company
organized under the laws of the state of Texas. RISK is a claims and safety service company
servicing only affiliate insurance companies. AGAI is a general agent for the Company. AGAI sells
insurance, which is underwritten by AIIC, SOCI and AIICTX, as well as by nonaffiliated insurance
carriers. The terms &#147;AMERISAFE,&#148; the &#147;Company,&#148; &#147;we,&#148; &#147;us,&#148; or &#147;our&#148; refer to AMERISAFE, Inc. and
its consolidated subsidiaries, as the context requires.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company provides workers&#146; compensation and general liability insurance for small to
mid-sized employers engaged in hazardous industries, principally construction, trucking and
logging. Assets and revenues of AIIC represent approximately 99% of comparable consolidated amounts
of the Company for each of 2006 and 2005.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the opinion of the management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
necessary to present fairly the financial position, the results of operations and cash flows for
the periods presented. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and
therefore do not include all information and footnotes to be in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States (&#147;GAAP&#148;). The results for the interim periods
are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year. The
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in
conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2005.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Note 2. Stock Options and Restricted Stock</B>

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In connection with the initial public offering, the Company&#146;s shareholders approved the
Amerisafe 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the &#147;2005 Incentive Plan&#148;) and the Amerisafe 2005
Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Plan (the &#147;2005 Restricted Stock Plan&#148;). See Note 13 to our
consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2005 for additional information regarding the Company&#146;s incentive plans.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2006, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of
$140,000 related to options granted under the 2005 Incentive Plan.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On March&nbsp;10, 2006, the compensation committee of the board approved incentive compensation
awards to each of the Company&#146;s executive officers for services rendered in 2005. The awards were
composed of cash bonuses and grants of restricted common stock. The restricted stock awards were
made pursuant to the Company&#146;s 2005 Incentive Plan, and will vest on the first anniversary of the
date of grant. The fair value of the restricted stock granted was $170,000.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Note 3. Earnings Per Share</B>

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We compute earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No.&nbsp;128, &#147;Earnings per Share.&#148;
Additionally, we apply the &#147;two-class method&#148; in computing basic and diluted earnings per share.
The two-class method was introduced in SFAS 128, and further clarified in Emerging Issues Task
Force (EITF)&nbsp;No.&nbsp;03-06, &#147;Participating Securities and the Two-Class&nbsp;Method under FASB Statement No.
128, Earnings Per Share, (Issue 03-6).&#148; Under the two-class method, net income is allocated
between common stock and any securities other than common stock that participate in dividends with
common stock. Our redeemable preferred stock qualifies as &#147;participating securities&#148; under SFAS
128 and EITF 03-06.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The two-class method allocates net income available to common shareholders and participating
securities to the extent that each security shares in earnings as if all earnings for the period
had been distributed. The amount of earnings allocable to common shareholders is divided by the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Participating securities that
are convertible into common stock are included in the computation of basic earnings per share if
the effect is dilutive.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Diluted earnings per share includes potential common shares assumed issued under the &#147;treasury
stock method,&#148; which reflects the potential dilution that would occur if any outstanding options
are exercised. Diluted earnings per share also includes the &#147;if converted&#148; method for
participating securities if the result is dilutive. The two-class method of calculating diluted
earnings per share is used whether the &#147;if converted&#148; result is dilutive or anti-dilutive.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;AMERISAFE is a holding company that markets and underwrites workers&#146; compensation insurance
through its subsidiaries. Workers&#146; compensation insurance covers statutorily prescribed benefits
that employers are obligated to provide to their employees who are injured in the course and scope
of their employment. Our business strategy is focused on providing this coverage to small to
mid-sized employers engaged in hazardous industries, principally construction, trucking and
logging. Employers engaged in hazardous industries pay substantially higher than average
rates for workers&#146; compensation insurance compared to employers in other industries, as
measured per payroll dollar. The higher premium rates are due to the nature of the work performed
and the inherent workplace danger of our target employers. Hazardous industry employers also tend
to have less frequent but more severe claims as compared to employers in other industries due to
the nature of their businesses. We provide proactive safety reviews of employers&#146; workplaces. These
safety reviews are a vital component of our underwriting process and also promote

We utilize intensive claims management practices that we believe permit us to reduce the overall
cost of our claims. In addition, our audit services ensure that our policyholders pay the
appropriate premiums required under the terms of their policies and enable us to monitor payroll
patterns or aberrations that cause underwriting, safety or fraud concerns. We believe that the
higher premiums typically paid by our policyholders, together with our disciplined underwriting and
safety, claims and audit services, provide us with the opportunity to earn attractive returns on
equity.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We actively market our insurance in 27 states and the District of Columbia through independent
agencies, as well as through our wholly-owned insurance agency subsidiary. We are also licensed in
an additional 18 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Critical Accounting Policies</B>

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It is important to understand our accounting policies in order to understand our financial
statements. Management considers some of these policies to be critically important to the
presentation of our financial results because they require us to make estimates and assumptions.
These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenues
and expenses and the related disclosures. Some of the estimates result from judgments that can be
subjective and complex and, consequently, actual results in future periods might differ from these
estimates.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Management believes that the most critical accounting policies relate to the reporting of
reserves for loss and loss adjustment expenses, including losses that have occurred but have not
been reported prior to the reporting date, amounts recoverable from reinsurers, assessments,
deferred policy acquisition costs, deferred income taxes and the impairment of investment
securities. These critical accounting policies are more fully described in Item&nbsp;7, &#147;Management&#146;s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations&#148; of Part&nbsp;II to our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2005.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Net Premiums Earned</I>. Net premiums earned for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2006 were $67.9
million, compared to $61.9&nbsp;million for the same period in 2005, an increase of 9.6%. The increase
was attributable to the increase in net premiums written.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Net Investment Income</I>. Net investment income for the first quarter of 2006 was $6.0&nbsp;million,
compared to $3.7&nbsp;million for the same period in 2005, an increase of 60.7%. The change was
attributable to an increase in our investment portfolio, including cash and cash equivalents, from
an average of $399.0&nbsp;million in the first quarter of 2005 to an average of $591.8&nbsp;million for the
same period of 2006, an increase of 48.3%. Also contributing to this growth was an increase in the
tax-equivalent yield on our investment portfolio, from 4.6% per annum as of March&nbsp;31, 2005, to 5.3%
per annum as of March&nbsp;31, 2006.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Net Realized Gains on Investments</I>. Net realized gains on investments for the first three
months of 2006 totaled $1.2&nbsp;million, compared to $227,000 for the same period in 2005. The increase
was attributable to the timing of the sale of equity securities in accordance with our investment
guidelines.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Loss and Loss Adjustment Expenses Incurred</I>. Loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred
totaled $47.9&nbsp;million for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2006, compared to $45.9&nbsp;million for the
same period in 2005, an increase of $2.0&nbsp;million, or 4.3%. The increase was due to the increase in
our net premiums earned combined with an increase in the net loss ratio for the current accident
year from 69.8% in the first quarter of 2005 to 70.5% in the first quarter of 2006. These
increases were offset by $2.7&nbsp;million in prior year development in the first quarter of 2005.
There was no prior year development recorded in the first quarter of 2006. Our net loss ratio was
70.5% for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2006, compared to 74.2% for the same period in 2005.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Underwriting and Certain Other Operating Costs, Commissions and Salaries and Benefits</I>.
Underwriting and certain other operating costs, commissions and salaries and benefits for the first
three months in 2006 were $16.4&nbsp;million, compared to $15.0&nbsp;million for the same period in 2005, an
increase of 9.9%. This increase was primarily due to a $1.7&nbsp;million increase in deferred policy
acquisition expenses and a $1.0&nbsp;million increase in commissions, offset by a $534,000 decrease in
loss-based assessments and a $416,000 increase in ceding commissions, which acts to reduce
underwriting expenses. The decrease in loss-based assessments was attributable to a $912,000
reduction by the South Carolina Second Injury Fund of its 2005 assessment, which was re-evaluated
by South Carolina in 2006, resulting in a 30% reduction of the original assessment.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Interest expense</I>. Interest expense for the first three months of 2006 was $813,000, compared
to $640,000 for the comparable period of 2005. Our weighted average borrowings for both periods
were $36.1&nbsp;million. The weighted average interest rate increased to 8.4% per annum for the first
quarter of 2006 from 6.1% per annum for the first quarter of 2005.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Income tax expense</I>. Our income tax expense for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2006 was $2.6
million, compared to $1.1&nbsp;million for the same period in 2005. The increase in tax expense was
attributable to higher pre-tax

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net cash from operating activities was $15.2&nbsp;million for the first three months of 2006, which

of 2005. Premiums collected for the first quarter of 2006 increased $13.3&nbsp;million from the same

reinsurers, an increase in expense disbursements of $1.4&nbsp;million and an increase of $4.8&nbsp;million
for claim payments. Net cash used in investing activities was $19.7&nbsp;million for the three months

held-to-maturity, as defined by SFAS No.&nbsp;115, &#147;Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities.&#148; As such, the reported value of those securities is equal to their amortized
