Officer, stated, &#147;We are pleased with our third quarter results. We continue to generate strong returns as evidenced by our return on equity of 22.4% and a combined ratio of 89.2% for the quarter. Our performance through nine months has
prompted us to revise our 2007 outlook to a return on average equity of greater than 20% and a combined ratio of 91% or lower. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">&#147;We
continue to focus on underwriting profitability throughout all market cycles. Three key factors impacting our gross premiums written are 1) lower adopted loss costs and rates in various states, 2) our dedication to underwriting and pricing
discipline, and 3) a slowing national economy. As a result of these factors, we are revising 2007 outlook for gross premiums written for the year to between $328&nbsp;million and $338 million. We believe that disciplined underwriting and adequate
pricing in the current market is the right approach for the company and our shareholders. We are focused on our sales and marketing efforts to take advantage of our geographic reach to write business in those industries and states that offer the
best opportunity to maximize our returns.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>2007 Outlook </U></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
