the fourth quarter of 2007 were $61.8 million, a decrease of 19.2% compared to $76.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. The decrease was primarily a result of lower 2007 endorsements and audit premium, when compared to 2006, which the Company
attributes to reduced business activity among its insured employers. Fourth quarter revenues totaled $82.4 million, a 14.6% decrease compared to revenues of $96.5 million in the prior year period. </FONT></P>

Officer, stated, &#147;2007 was a record year for AMERISAFE. We continued to produce high quality business, and losses were significantly lower than expected. In addition, prior year loss development was favorable and our open claims inventory at
the end of the year was the lowest in a decade.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">&#147;As in 2007, the marketplace continues to be challenging. Lower loss costs have
resulted in lower rates in a number of states. We are also experiencing increased competition as some market participants are pricing policies at levels that we do not believe adequately reflect the risk incurred. Compounding these issues is a noted
decrease in business activity among our insureds, as measured by reported payrolls. We expect these market conditions to continue through 2008, which will put pressure on our gross premiums written, but we intend to continue to price our policies to
earn an acceptable underwriting profit, as we have done in prior years.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>2008 Outlook </U></FONT></P> <P
