</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;DeRidder, LA &#150; August&nbsp;14, 2006 &#151; AMERISAFE, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMSF) today announced results
for the three months and six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2006.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gross premiums written in the second quarter totaled $92.2&nbsp;million, an increase of 3.6&nbsp;percent
over gross premiums written of $89.0&nbsp;million for the second quarter of 2005. Second quarter
revenues totaled $79.2&nbsp;million, a 17.0&nbsp;percent increase over revenues of $67.7&nbsp;million in the prior
year period. Net investment income increased to $5.8&nbsp;million in the second quarter, from $3.9
million for the same period last year.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net income in the second quarter was $7.8&nbsp;million compared to a net loss of $7.5&nbsp;million in
the 2005 second quarter, when the Company increased its prior year net loss reserves by $13.2
million. Net income includes realized capital gains of $1.1&nbsp;million (before tax) in the second
quarter of 2006 and $0.5&nbsp;million (before tax) in the second quarter of 2005. Net income for the
second quarter of 2006 also includes a $0.6&nbsp;million decrease in a tax accrual related to the
resolution of prior year taxes.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2006, gross premiums written totaled $173.0&nbsp;million, a 7.8
percent increase over gross premiums written of $160.5&nbsp;million for the same period in 2005. Year
to date revenues for 2006 totaled $154.4&nbsp;million, a 15.4&nbsp;percent increase over revenues of $133.8
million in the same period last year. Net investment income increased to $11.8&nbsp;million for the six
months ended June&nbsp;30, 2006, from $7.7&nbsp;million in 2005.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net income for the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2006 was $15.1&nbsp;million compared to a net loss of
$4.3&nbsp;million for the same period in 2005. In the first half of 2005, AMERISAFE recorded pre-tax
loss and loss adjustment expenses (LAE)&nbsp;of $8.7&nbsp;million for claims occurring in prior years, and
$13.2&nbsp;million related to the commutation of reinsurance contracts with Converium Reinsurance (North
America). Net income for the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2006 includes realized capital gains of
$2.2&nbsp;million (before tax) compared to $0.8&nbsp;million (before tax) for the same period in 2005.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In anticipation of its initial public offering, AMERISAFE effected a 72-for-one reverse stock
split effective as of October&nbsp;27, 2005, reducing the number of then-outstanding shares of
common stock to 299,774 shares. On November&nbsp;23, 2005, AMERISAFE completed its initial

<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">
<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">public offering, issuing 8.0&nbsp;million shares of its common stock at $9.00 per share. Upon completion of
the IPO, holders of AMERISAFE&#146;s Series&nbsp;A preferred stock exchanged the outstanding shares of this
series of preferred stock for 9.1&nbsp;million shares of common stock. As a result of the exchange of
Series&nbsp;A preferred stock for shares of the Company&#146;s common stock, under the terms of our articles
of incorporation, holders of the Company&#146;s outstanding convertible preferred stock are no longer
entitled to receive dividends. At June&nbsp;30, 2006, there were 17.4&nbsp;million shares of common stock
outstanding.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the second quarter of 2006, diluted earnings per share allocable to common shareholders
were $0.39, compared to $(33.03) in the same period of 2005. Weighted average diluted shares
outstanding for the second quarter of 2006 were 17,427,662 shares compared to 299,774 shares in the
second quarter of 2005. For the first half of 2006, diluted earnings per share allocable to common
shareholders were $0.76, compared to $(30.04) in the same period of 2005. Weighted average diluted
shares outstanding for the first half of 2006 were 17,426,347 compared to 299,774 shares in the
first half of 2005. The issuance of 17.1&nbsp;million shares of common stock in November&nbsp;2005 (and the
resulting calculation of weighted average shares outstanding) and the elimination of the obligation
to pay preferred stock dividends will impact period-to-period comparisons of our reported earnings
per share for the remainder of 2006.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The net combined ratio for the second quarter of 2006 was 95.2% compared to 125.7% for the
same period in 2005. Loss and loss adjustment expenses for the second quarter of 2006 totaled
$50.4&nbsp;million, or 69.9% of net premiums earned, compared to $64.5&nbsp;million, or 102.2% of net
premiums earned for the same period in 2005. Total underwriting expenses, including commissions
and salaries and benefits, for the second quarter were $18.1&nbsp;million, or 25.1% of net premiums
earned, compared to $14.6&nbsp;million, or 23.2% of net premiums earned, for the second quarter of 2005.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The net combined ratio for the first half of 2006 was 95.1% compared to 112.2% for the same
period in 2005. Loss and loss adjustment expenses for the first half of 2006 totaled $98.2
million, or 70.2% of net premiums earned, compared to $110.4&nbsp;million, or 88.3% of net premiums
earned for the same period in 2005. Total underwriting expenses, including commissions and
salaries and benefits, for the first half of 2006 were $34.5&nbsp;million, or 24.7% of net premiums
earned, compared to $29.6&nbsp;million, or 23.6% of net premiums earned, for the first half of 2005.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Commenting on these results, Allen Bradley, AMERISAFE&#146;s Chairman, President and Chief
Executive Officer, stated, &#147;We are very pleased with our financial performance in the second
quarter and first half of the year. We continue to grow our top line while maintaining our
pricing, and we have had significant increases in both our invested asset base and net investment
income. At the same time, the second quarter was the fourth consecutive quarter in which we
experienced no prior year loss development. I believe that we are on target to meet the financial
objectives we set for 2006, including growth in gross premiums written, combined ratio and return
on shareholders&#146; equity.&#148;

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company is reaffirming its guidance for the full year and presently expects gross premiums
written of between $317&nbsp;million and $325&nbsp;million, a combined ratio of less than 96&nbsp;percent, and a
return on average equity of approximately 15&nbsp;percent. AMERISAFE calculates return on average
equity by dividing net income by the average of shareholders&#146; equity plus redeemable preferred
stock.
