STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Net income in the third quarter was $13.4 million compared to net income of $11.8 million in the 2007 third quarter, an increase of 13.0%. Pre-tax income
for the third quarter of 2008 included $6.6 million of favorable prior year loss development, realized losses of $2.9 million from the sale of equity securities and other-than-temporary impairments, and income of $703,000 from a previously announced
reinsurance commutation. Pre-tax income for the third quarter of 2007 had no prior year loss development, $92,000 of realized gains and income of $990,000 from the commutation of several reinsurance contracts. Net investment income was $7.7 million
for the third quarter of 2008, compared to $7.9 million for the third quarter of 2007. The Company&#146;s return on average equity for the 2008 third quarter was 20.5% compared to 22.4% for the same period in 2007. </FONT></P> <P

decrease was the result of reduced state-mandated loss costs, increased competition, and decreased audit premium from reduced work activity. Third quarter revenues totaled $76.3 million, a decrease of 13.6%, compared to revenues of $88.3 million in
the prior year period. </FONT></P>
