</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Net income in the first quarter was $11.9 million compared to net income of $8.4 million in the 2007 first quarter, an increase of 41.6%.
Pre-tax income for the first quarter of 2008 included $1.7 million of favorable prior year loss development. Pre-tax income for the first quarter of 2007 had no prior year loss development. Net investment income increased to $7.8 million in the
first quarter from $6.9 million for the same period last year, an increase of 12.9%. The Company&#146;s return on average equity for the 2008 first quarter was 20.0% compared to 17.9% for the same period in 2007. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Gross premiums written in the first quarter of 2008 were $81.0 million, a decrease of 10.5%, compared to $90.5 million in the first quarter of 2007. The
decrease was the result of lower state-mandated loss costs and increased competition, as well as decreased audit premium from lower than anticipated work activity. First quarter revenues totaled $82.3 million, a decrease of less than 1%, compared to
revenues of $82.9 million in the prior year period. </FONT></P>
