STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We are a specialty provider of workers&#146; compensation insurance focused on small to mid-sized employers engaged in hazardous industries, principally
construction, trucking, agriculture, logging, oil and gas, maritime and sawmills. Since commencing operations in 1986, we have gained significant experience underwriting the complex workers&#146; compensation exposures inherent in these industries.
We provide coverage to employers under state and federal workers&#146; compensation laws. These laws prescribe wage replacement and medical care benefits that employers are obligated to provide to their employees who are injured in the course and
scope of their employment. Our workers&#146; compensation insurance policies provide benefits to injured employees for, among other things, temporary or permanent disability, death and medical and hospital expenses. The benefits payable and the
duration of those benefits are set by state or federal law. The benefits vary by jurisdiction, the nature and severity of the injury and the wages of the employee. The employer, who is the policyholder, pays the premiums for coverage. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Hazardous industry employers tend to have less frequent but more severe claims as compared to employers in other industries due to the nature of their
businesses. Injuries that occur are often severe in nature including death, dismemberment, paraplegia and quadriplegia. As a result, employers engaged in hazardous industries pay substantially higher than average rates for workers&#146; compensation
insurance compared to employers in other industries, as measured per payroll dollar. The higher premium rates are due to the nature of the work performed and the inherent workplace danger of our target employers. For example, our construction
employers generally on average paid premium rates equal to $6.84 per $100 of payroll to obtain workers&#146; compensation coverage for all of their employees in 2008. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

generally do not target small to mid-sized employers in hazardous industries due to their smaller premium sizes, types of operations, mobile workforces and extensive service needs. We provide enhanced customer services to our policyholders. For
example, unlike many of our competitors, our premium payment plans enable our policyholders to better match their premium payments with their payroll costs and cash flow. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

policyholders&#146; worksites. In 2008, more than 88% of our new voluntary business policyholders were subject to pre-quotation safety inspections. Additionally, we perform periodic on-site safety surveys on all of our voluntary business

STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Overview</I>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Workers&#146; compensation is a statutory system under which an employer is required to pay for its
employees&#146; medical, disability, vocational rehabilitation and death benefit costs for work-related injuries or illnesses. Most employers satisfy this requirement by purchasing workers&#146; compensation insurance. The principal concept
underlying workers&#146; compensation laws is that employees injured in the course and scope of their employment have only the legal remedies available under workers&#146; compensation laws and do not have any other recourse against their employer.
An employer&#146;s obligation to pay workers&#146; compensation does not depend on any negligence or wrongdoing on the part of the employer and exists even for injuries that result from the negligence or fault of another person, a co-employee, or,
in most instances, the injured employee. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Workers&#146; compensation insurance policies generally provide that the insurance carrier will
pay all benefits that the insured employer may become obligated to pay under applicable workers&#146; compensation laws. Each state has a regulatory and adjudicatory system that quantifies the level of wage replacement to be paid, determines the
level of medical care required to be provided and the cost of temporary or permanent impairment and specifies the options in selecting medical providers available to the injured employee or the employer. These state laws generally require two types
of benefits for injured employees: (1)&nbsp;medical benefits, which include expenses related to diagnosis and treatment of the injury, as well as any required rehabilitation, and (2)&nbsp;indemnity payments, which consist of temporary wage
replacement, permanent disability payments and death benefits to surviving family members. To fulfill these mandated financial obligations, virtually all employers are required to purchase workers&#146; compensation insurance or, if permitted by
state law or approved by the U.S. Department of Labor, to self-insure. The employers may purchase workers&#146; compensation insurance from a private insurance carrier, a state-sanctioned assigned risk pool, or a self-insurance fund, which is an
entity that allows employers to obtain workers&#146; compensation coverage on a pooled basis, typically subjecting each employer to joint and several liability for the entire fund. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Workers&#146; compensation was the fourth-largest property and casualty insurance line in the United States in 2007, according to A.M. Best. Direct
premiums written in 2007 for the workers&#146; compensation insurance industry were $52 billion, and direct premiums written for the property and casualty industry as a whole were $441 billion, according to A.M. Best. According to the most recent
market data reported by the National Council on Compensation Insurance, Inc., or the NCCI, which is the official ratings bureau in the majority of states in which we are licensed, total premiums reported for the specific occupational class codes for
which we underwrite business were $15 billion. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Outlook</I>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We believe that current economic conditions will
adversely affect our reported gross premiums written and revenues in 2009. In 2008, 73.5% of our gross premiums written were derived from policyholders in the construction, trucking, agriculture and logging industries. As a result, our gross
premiums written are, to a significant extent, dependent upon economic conditions in those industries, as well as upon economic conditions generally. Economic activity began to decline in the latter part of 2007 and the decline accelerated in 2008,
negatively affecting the construction, trucking, agriculture and logging industries, along with others. We believe that the slowdown in economic activity will continue in 2009. We further believe that the challenges presented by this slowing
economic activity will be aggravated by the impact of lower estimated loss costs adopted by a number of states in which we do business. Estimated loss costs provide the basis upon which we calculate the premiums we charge for the insurance we write.
Lower loss costs are part of the normal cyclicality of our industry, and we believe they will eventually reverse themselves. However, we cannot predict the timing of any changes in loss costs. Notwithstanding current market conditions, we will
continue to focus on market segmentation, effective risk selection, expense management and overall underwriting profitability. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

our independent agencies was 7.4% for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008. We pay our insurance agency subsidiary a commission rate of 8.0%. Neither our independent agencies nor our insurance agency subsidiary has authority to underwrite or bind

STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In the majority of states, workers&#146; compensation insurance rates are based upon published &#147;loss costs.&#148; Loss costs are derived from wage
and loss data reported by insurers to the state&#146;s statistical agent, which in most states is the NCCI. The state agent then promulgates loss costs for specific job descriptions or class codes. Insurers file requests for adoption of a loss cost
multiplier, or LCM, to be applied to the loss costs to support operating costs and profit margins. In addition, most states allow pricing flexibility above and below the filed LCM, within certain limits. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We obtain approval of our rates, including our LCMs, from state regulatory authorities. To maintain rates at profitable levels, we regularly monitor and
adjust our LCMs. The effective LCM for our voluntary business was 1.46 for policy year 2008, 1.51 for policy year 2007, 1.54 for policy year 2006, 1.56 for policy year 2005 and 1.53 for policy year 2004. If we are unable to charge rates in a
particular state or industry to produce satisfactory results, we seek to control and reduce our premium volume in that state or industry and redeploy our capital in other states or industries that offer greater opportunity to earn an underwriting
profit. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Safety </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our safety inspection
process begins with a request from our underwriting department to perform a pre-quotation safety inspection. Our safety inspections focus on a prospective policyholder&#146;s operations, loss exposures and existing safety controls to prevent
potential losses. The factors considered in our inspection include employee experience, turnover, training, previous loss history and corrective actions, and workplace conditions, including equipment condition and, where appropriate, use of fall
protection, respiratory protection, or other safety devices. Our field safety professionals, or FSPs, travel to employers&#146; worksites to perform these safety inspections. These initial in-depth analyses allow our underwriting professionals to
make decisions on both insurability and pricing. In certain circumstances, we will agree to provide workers&#146; compensation insurance only if the employer agrees to implement and maintain the safety management practices that we recommend. In
2008, more than 88% of our new voluntary business policyholders were inspected prior to our offering a premium quote. The remaining voluntary business policyholders were not inspected prior to a premium quote for a variety of reasons, including
small premium size or the fact that the policyholder was previously a policyholder subject to our safety inspections. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

have structured our claims operation to provide immediate, intensive, and personal management of claims to guide injured employees through medical treatment, rehabilitation and recovery, with the primary goal of returning the injured employee to

appropriate conclusion in a friendly, dignified and supportive manner. Our FCMs have broad authority to manage claims from occurrence of a workplace injury through resolution, including authority to retain many different medical providers at our
expense. Such providers comprise not only our recommended medical providers, but also nurse case managers, independent medical examiners, vocational specialists, rehabilitation specialists and other specialty providers of medical services necessary
to achieve a quality outcome. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Following notification of a workplace injury, a FCM will contact the policyholder, the injured employee,
and/or the treating physician to determine the nature and severity of the injury. If a serious injury occurs, the FCM will promptly visit the injured employee or the employee&#146;s family members to discuss the benefits provided. The FCM will also
visit the treating physician to discuss the proposed treatment plan. Our FCM assists the injured employee in receiving appropriate medical treatment and encourages the use of our recommended medical providers and facilities. For example, our FCM may
suggest that a treating physician refer an injured worker to another physician or treatment facility that we believe has had positive outcomes for other workers with similar injuries. We actively monitor the number of open cases handled by a single
FCM in order to maintain focus on each specific injured employee. As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, we averaged 50 open indemnity claims per FCM, which we believe is significantly less than the industry average. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Locating our FCMs in the field also allows us to build professional relationships with local medical providers. In selecting medical providers, we rely,
in part, on the recommendations of our FCMs who have developed professional relationships within their geographic areas. We also seek input from our policyholders and other contacts in the markets that we serve. While cost factors are considered in
selecting medical providers, we consider the most important factor in the selection process to be the medical provider&#146;s ability to achieve a quality outcome. We define quality outcome as the injured worker&#146;s rapid, conclusive recovery and
return to sustained, full capacity employment. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">While we seek to promptly settle valid claims, we also aggressively defend against claims

applies to both our voluntary and assigned risk business, but does not include our reserves for mandatory pooling arrangements. We record reserves for mandatory pooling arrangements as those reserves are reported to us by the pool administrators. We
do not use loss discounting when we determine our reserves, which would involve recognizing the time value of money and offsetting estimates of future payments by future expected investment income. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">When a claim is reported, we establish an initial case reserve for the estimated amount of our loss based on our estimate of the most likely outcome of
the claim at that time. Generally, that case reserve is established within 14 days after the claim is reported and consists of anticipated medical costs, indemnity costs, and specific adjustment expenses, which we refer to as defense and cost
containment expenses, or DCC expenses. The most complex claims, involving severe injuries, may take a considerable period of time for us to establish a more precise estimate of the most likely outcome of the claim. At any point in time, the amount
paid on a claim, plus the reserve for future amounts to be paid, represents the estimated total cost of the claim, or the case incurred amount. The estimated amount of loss for a reported claim is based upon various factors, including: </FONT></P>

adjustment expense reserves in subsequent years from the prior loss estimates based on experience as of the end of each succeeding year on a GAAP basis. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The first line of the table shows, for the years indicated, our liability including the incurred but not reported loss and loss adjustment expenses as originally estimated, net of amounts recoverable from reinsurers.
For example, as of December&nbsp;31, 1998, it was estimated that $43.6 million would be sufficient to settle all claims not already settled that had occurred on or prior to December&nbsp;31, 1998, whether reported or unreported. The next section of
the table sets forth the re-estimates in later years of incurred losses, including payments, for the years indicated. The next section of the table shows, by year, the cumulative amounts of loss and loss adjustment expense payments, net of amounts
recoverable from reinsurers, as of the end of each succeeding year. For example, with respect to the net loss reserves of $43.6 million as of December&nbsp;31, 1998, by December&nbsp;31, 2008 (ten years later) $61.7 million had actually been paid in
settlement of the claims that relate to liabilities as of December&nbsp;31, 1998. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The &#147;cumulative redundancy/(deficiency)&#148;

the current estimate is higher than the original estimate. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

SIZE="2">We purchase reinsurance to reduce our net liability on individual risks and claims and to protect against catastrophic losses. Reinsurance involves an insurance company transferring to, or ceding, a portion of the exposure on a risk to a
reinsurer. The reinsurer assumes the exposure in return for a portion of our premium. The cost and limits of reinsurance we purchase can vary from year to year based upon the availability of quality reinsurance at an acceptable price and our desired
level of retention. Retention refers to the amount of risk that we retain for our own account. Under excess of loss reinsurance, covered losses in excess of the retention level up to the limit of the program are paid by the reinsurer. Our excess of
loss reinsurance is written in layers, in which our reinsurers accept a band of coverage up to a specified amount. Any liability exceeding the limit of the program reverts to us as the ceding company. Reinsurance does not legally discharge us from
primary liability for the full amount due under our policies. However, our reinsurers are obligated to indemnify us to the extent of the coverage provided in our reinsurance agreements. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We believe reinsurance is critical to our business. Our reinsurance purchasing strategy is to protect against unforeseen and/or catastrophic loss
activity that would adversely impact our income and capital base. We generally select financially strong reinsurers with an A.M. Best rating of &#147;A&#150;&#148; (Excellent) or better at the time we enter into a reinsurance contract. In addition,
to minimize our exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies, we evaluate the financial condition of our reinsurers and monitor concentrations of credit risk on a continual basis. </FONT></P> <P

SIZE="2">Effective January&nbsp;1, 2009, we entered into a new excess of loss reinsurance treaty program related to our voluntary and assigned risk business that applies to losses incurred between January&nbsp;1, 2009 and the date on which our
reinsurance agreements are terminated. Our reinsurance treaty program provides us with reinsurance coverage for each loss occurrence up to $50.0 million, subject to applicable deductibles, retentions, and aggregate limits. However, for any loss
occurrence involving only one claimant, our reinsurance coverage is limited to a maximum of $10.0 million for any single claimant, subject to applicable deductibles, retentions and aggregate limits. We have 16 reinsurers participating in our 2009
reinsurance treaty program. Under certain circumstances, including a downgrade of a reinsurer&#146;s A.M. Best rating to &#147;B++&#148; (Very Good) or below, such reinsurer may be required to provide us with security for amounts due under the terms
of our reinsurance program. This security may take the form of, among other things, cash advances or letters of credit. If security is required because of a ratings downgrade, the form of security must be mutually agreed to between the reinsurer and
us. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our 2009 reinsurance treaty program provides coverage in the following four layers: </FONT></P> <P

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 (the &#147;2002 Act&#148;) was enacted in response to the events of September&nbsp;11, 2001 and was extended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Extension Act of 2005 (the
&#147;2005 Act&#148;) and the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007 (the &#147;2007&#148; Act). The 2002 Act, the 2005 Act and the 2007 Act were designed to ensure the availability of insurance coverage for losses resulting
from certain acts of terrorism in the United States. The 2007 Act reauthorizes a federal program, established under the 2002 Act and extended by the 2005 Act, and extends it through the end of 2014. This program provides federal reimbursement to
insurance companies for a portion of their losses arising from certain acts of terrorism and requires insurance companies to offer coverage for such acts. The program applies to insured losses arising out of acts that are certified as &#147;acts of
terrorism&#148; by the Secretary of the Treasury in concurrence with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General of the United States. In addition, the program does not provide any reimbursement for any portion of aggregate industry-wide insured
losses from certified acts of terrorism that exceed $100.0 billion in any one year and is subject to certain other limitations and restrictions. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2">For insured losses in 2009, each insurance company is responsible for a statutory deductible under the 2007 Act that is equal to 20% of its direct earned property and casualty insurance premiums. For losses occurring in 2009, the U.S.
Federal Government will reimburse 85% of an insurance company&#146;s covered losses over the statutory deductible. In addition, no federal reimbursement is available unless the aggregate insurance industry-wide losses from a certified act of
terrorism exceed $100.0 million for any act of terrorism occurring in 2009. However, there is no relief from the requirement under the 2007 Act that insurance companies offer coverage for certified acts of terrorism if those acts do not cause losses
exceeding these threshold amounts and thus do not result in any federal reimbursement payments. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Under the 2007 Act, insurance companies
must offer coverage for losses due to certified acts of terrorism in their workers&#146; compensation policies. Moreover, the workers&#146; compensation laws of the various states generally do not permit the exclusion of coverage for losses arising
from acts of terrorism, including terrorism that involves the use of nuclear, biological, radioactive or chemical agents. In addition, state law prohibits us from limiting our workers&#146; compensation insurance losses arising from any one
catastrophe or any one claimant. We have reinsurance protection in our 2009 reinsurance treaty program that affords coverage for up to $50 million for losses arising from terrorism but excluding nuclear, biological, radiological and chemical
attacks, subject to the deductibles, retentions, definitions and aggregate limits. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Technology </B></FONT></P> <P

such state participate in a guaranty association, which is organized to pay contractual benefits owed pursuant to insurance policies issued by impaired, insolvent or failed insurers. These associations levy assessments, up to prescribed limits, on
all member insurers in a particular state on the basis of the proportionate share of the premium written by member insurers in the lines of business in which the impaired, insolvent or failed insurer is engaged. Some states permit member insurers to

program to provide workers&#146; compensation insurance to those employers who have not or cannot obtain coverage from a carrier on a negotiated basis. The level of required participation in such programs is generally determined by calculating the
volume of our voluntarily business in that state as a percentage of all voluntarily business in that state by all insurers. The resulting factor is the proportion of premium we must accept as a percentage of all of premiums in policies included in
that state&#146;s residual market program. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Companies generally can fulfill their residual market obligations by either issuing insurance
policies to employers assigned to them, or participating in a reinsurance pool where the results of all policies provided through the pool are shared by the participating companies. We utilize both methods, depending on management&#146;s evaluation
of the most cost-efficient method to adopt in each state that allows a choice of assigned risk or participation in a pooling arrangement. In 2008, we had assigned risks in four states: Alabama, Alaska, North Carolina and Virginia. </FONT></P> <P

including insurance companies, and require us to maintain appropriate policies and procedures for managing and protecting certain personal information of our policyholders and to fully disclose our privacy practices to our policyholders. We may also
be exposed to future privacy laws and regulations, which could impose additional costs and impact our results of operations or financial condition. In 2000, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, or the NAIC, adopted the Privacy of
Consumer Financial and Health Information Model Regulation, which assisted states in promulgating regulations to comply with the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. In 2002, to further facilitate the implementation of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the NAIC
adopted the Standards for Safeguarding Customer Information Model Regulation. Several states have now adopted similar provisions regarding the safeguarding of policyholder information. We have established policies and procedures intended to ensure
that we are in compliance with the Gramm-Leach-Bliley related privacy requirements. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Federal and State Legislative and Regulatory Changes </I></B>

in the past been or are at present being considered are the possible introduction of federal regulation in addition to, or in lieu of, the current system of state regulation of insurers and proposals in various state legislatures (some of which
proposals have been enacted) to conform portions of their insurance laws and regulations to various model acts adopted by the NAIC. We are unable to predict whether any of these laws and regulations will be adopted, the form in which any such laws
and regulations would be adopted or the effect, if any, these developments would have on our operations and financial condition. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">For

<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">authority and insurance companies are at all times subject to the laws of their respective domiciliary states and, to a lesser extent, other states in which
they conduct business, the NAIC is influential in determining the form in which such laws are enacted. Model Insurance Laws, Regulations and Guidelines, which we refer to as the Model Laws, have been promulgated by the NAIC as a minimum standard by
which state regulatory systems and regulations are measured. Adoption of state laws that provide for substantially similar regulations to those described in the Model Laws is a requirement for accreditation by the NAIC. The NAIC provides
authoritative guidance to insurance regulators on statutory accounting issues by promulgating and updating a codified set of statutory accounting practices in its <I>Accounting Practices and Procedures</I> manual. The Louisiana and Texas
legislatures have adopted these codified statutory accounting practices. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Under Louisiana law, American Interstate and Silver Oak Casualty
are required to maintain minimum capital and surplus of $3.0 million. Under Texas law, American Interstate of Texas is required to maintain minimum capital and surplus of $1.0 million. Property and casualty insurance companies are also subject to
certain risk-based capital requirements by the NAIC. Under those requirements, the amount of capital and surplus maintained by a property and casualty insurance company is determined based on the various risk factors related to it. As of
December&nbsp;31, 2008, American Interstate, Silver Oak Casualty, and American Interstate of Texas exceeded the minimum risk-based capital requirements. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The key financial ratios of the NAIC&#146;s Insurance Regulatory Information System, or IRIS, which ratios were developed to assist insurance departments in overseeing the financial condition of insurance companies,
are reviewed by experienced financial examiners of the NAIC and state insurance departments to select those companies that merit highest priority in the allocation of the regulators&#146; resources. IRIS identifies 12 industry ratios and specifies
&#147;usual values&#148; for each ratio. Departure from the usual values on four or more of the ratios can lead to inquiries from individual state insurance commissioners as to certain aspects of an insurer&#146;s business. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The 2008 IRIS results for American Interstate Insurance Company and American Interstate Insurance Company of Texas were within expected values. Out of
the 12 ratios, Silver Oak Casualty&#146;s ratio of net change in adjusted policyholders&#146; surplus was outside the expected range by one percentage point. This unusual value occurred because of Silver Oak Casualty&#146;s smaller surplus base and
the increased net income for the year. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Statutory Accounting Principles </I></B></FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Statutory accounting principles, or SAP, are a basis of accounting developed to assist insurance regulators in monitoring and regulating the solvency of
insurance companies. SAP is primarily concerned with measuring an insurer&#146;s surplus as regards to policyholders. Accordingly, statutory accounting focuses on valuing assets and liabilities of insurers at financial reporting dates in accordance
with appropriate insurance law and regulatory provisions applicable in each insurer&#146;s domiciliary state. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Generally accepted
accounting principles, or GAAP, are concerned with a company&#146;s solvency, but are also concerned with other financial measurements, principally income and cash flows. Accordingly, GAAP gives more consideration to appropriate matching of revenue
and expenses and accounting for management&#146;s stewardship of assets than does SAP. As a direct result, different assets and liabilities and different amounts of assets and liabilities will be reflected in financial statements prepared in
accordance with GAAP as compared to SAP. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Statutory accounting principles established by the NAIC and adopted in part by Louisiana and
Texas insurance regulators, determine, among other things, the amount of statutory surplus and statutory net income of American Interstate, Silver Oak Casualty and American Interstate of Texas and thus determine, in part, the amount of funds that

compensation insurance industry has historically fluctuated with periods of lower premium rates and excess underwriting capacity resulting from increased competition followed by periods of higher premium rates and reduced underwriting capacity
resulting from decreased competition. Although the financial performance of an individual insurance company is dependent on its own specific business characteristics, the profitability of most workers&#146; compensation insurance companies generally
tends to follow this cyclical market pattern. In 2008, the workers&#146; compensation industry experienced both decreasing loss costs in most of the states in which we write business and intense price competition. Because this market cyclicality is
due in large part to the actions of our competitors and general economic factors, we cannot predict the timing or duration of changes in the market cycle. We expect these cyclical patterns will cause our revenues and net income to fluctuate, which
may cause the price of our common stock to be more volatile. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>If we do not appropriately establish our premium rates, our results of operations will be
adversely affected. </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In general, the premium rates for our insurance policies are established when coverage is initiated and,
therefore, before all of the underlying costs are known. Like other workers&#146; compensation insurance companies, we rely on estimates and assumptions in setting our premium rates. Establishing adequate rates is necessary to generate sufficient
revenue to offset losses, loss adjustment expenses and other underwriting expenses, and to earn an underwriting profit. If we fail to accurately assess the risks that we assume, we may fail to charge adequate premium rates to cover our losses and
expenses, which could reduce our net income and cause us to become unprofitable. For example, when initiating coverage on a policyholder, we estimate future claims expense based, in part, on prior claims information provided by the
policyholder&#146;s previous insurance carriers. If this prior claims information is not accurate, we may underprice our policy by using claims estimates that are too low. As a result, our actual costs for providing insurance coverage to our
policyholders may be significantly higher than our premiums. In order to set premium rates appropriately, we must: </FONT></P> <P STYLE="font-size:12px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P>

proportionate share of premiums written in the lines of business in which the impaired, insolvent or failed insurance companies are engaged. See &#147;Business&#151;Regulation&#148; in Item&nbsp;1 of this report. Accordingly, the assessments levied
on us may increase as we increase our written premium. Some states also have laws that establish second injury funds to reimburse insurers and employers for claims paid to injured employees for aggravation of prior conditions or injuries. These

business in some states, insurance companies are required to participate in residual market programs to provide insurance to those employers who cannot procure coverage from an insurance carrier on a negotiated basis. Insurance companies generally
can fulfill their residual market obligations by, among other things, participating in a reinsurance pool where the results of all policies provided through the pool are shared by the participating insurance companies. Although we price our
insurance to account for obligations we may have under these pooling arrangements, we may not be successful in estimating our liability for these obligations. Accordingly, mandatory pooling arrangements may cause a decrease in our profits.

protection provided by reinsurance and the Terrorism Risk Insurance Extension Act of 2007, the risk of severe losses to us from acts of terrorism has not been eliminated because our reinsurance treaty program includes various sub-limits and

business and financial condition. In addition, the Terrorism Risk Insurance Extension Act of 2007 is set to expire on December&nbsp;31, 2014. If this law is not extended or replaced by legislation affording a similar level of protection to the
insurance industry against insured losses arising out of acts of terrorism, reinsurance for losses arising from terrorism may be unavailable or prohibitively expensive, and we may be further exposed to losses arising from acts of terrorism.

</B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">AMERISAFE is a holding company that markets and underwrites workers&#146; compensation insurance through its insurance subsidiaries.
Workers&#146; compensation insurance covers statutorily prescribed benefits that employers are obligated to provide to their employees who are injured in the course and scope of their employment. Our business strategy is focused on providing this
coverage to small to mid-sized employers engaged in hazardous industries, principally construction, trucking, agriculture and logging. Employers engaged in hazardous industries pay substantially higher than average rates for workers&#146;
compensation insurance compared to employers in other industries, as measured per payroll dollar. The higher premium rates are due to the nature of the work performed and the inherent workplace danger of our target employers. Hazardous industry
employers also tend to have less frequent but more severe claims as compared to employers in other industries due to the nature of their businesses. We provide proactive safety reviews of employers&#146; workplaces. These safety reviews are a vital
component of our underwriting process and also promote safer workplaces. We utilize intensive claims management practices that we believe permit us to reduce the overall cost of our claims. In addition, our audit services ensure that our
policyholders pay the appropriate premiums required under the terms of their policies and enable us to monitor payroll patterns that cause underwriting, safety or fraud concerns. We believe that the higher premiums typically paid by our
policyholders, together with our disciplined underwriting and safety, claims and audit services, provide us with the opportunity to earn attractive returns for our shareholders. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We actively market our insurance in 30 states and the District of Columbia through independent agencies, as well as through our wholly owned insurance
agency subsidiary. We are also licensed in an additional 17 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">One of the key financial measures that we
use to evaluate our operating performance is return on average equity. We calculate return on average equity by dividing annual net income by the average of annual shareholders&#146; equity plus redeemable preferred stock. Our return on average
equity was 17.1% in 2008, 24.1% in 2007 and 22.6% in 2006. Our overall financial objective is to produce a return on equity of at least 15% over the long-term while maintaining optimal operating leverage in our insurance subsidiaries that is
commensurate with our A. M. Best rating. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Investment income is an important element of our net income. Because the period of time between
our receipt of premiums and the ultimate settlement of claims is often several years or longer, we are able to invest cash from premiums for significant periods of time. As a result, we are able to generate more investment income from our premiums
as compared to insurance companies that operate in other lines of business that pay claims more quickly. From December&nbsp;31, 2004 to December&nbsp;31, 2008, our investment portfolio, including cash and cash equivalents, increased from $390.3
million to $800.0 million and produced net investment income of $31.0 million in 2008, $30.2 million in 2007 and $25.4 million in 2006. In the third quarter of 2005, we received $61.3 million from one of our reinsurers pursuant to a commutation
agreement. In the fourth quarter of 2005, we completed our initial public offering, and we retained $53.0&nbsp;million of the net proceeds from the offering. Of the net proceeds we retained, we contributed $45.0 million to our insurance
subsidiaries. The remaining $8.0 million was held for general corporate purposes. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The use of reinsurance is an important component of our

loss occurrence up to $50.0 million, subject to applicable deductibles, retentions and aggregate limits. However, for any loss occurrence involving only one claimant, our reinsurance coverage is limited to $10.0 million for any single claimant,
subject to applicable deductibles, retentions and aggregate limits. Our 2009 program calls for us to retain the first $1.0 million of each loss. For losses between $1.0 million and $5.0 million, we are subject to an annual aggregate deductible of
$20.0 million before our reinsurers are obligated to reimburse us. The aggregate limit for all claims for losses between $1.0 million and $5.0 million has two parts, as fully described in &#147;Business&#151;Reinsurance&#148; in Item&nbsp;1 of this
report. For losses between $5.0 million and $10.0 million, the three year aggregate limit is $20.0 million. As losses are incurred and recorded, we record amounts recoverable from reinsurers for the portion of the losses ceded to our reinsurers.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We retain a significant amount of losses under our reinsurance programs. Based in part, on the cost of reinsurance, we increased our
retention level from $500,000 plus 20% of each loss occurrence in 2002, to $1.0 million of each loss subject to an annual aggregate deductible of $20.0 million in 2008. As a result of increases in our retention levels, commutations and collections
from our reinsurers in the normal course of business, our amounts recoverable from reinsurers decreased from $77.3&nbsp;million at December&nbsp;31, 2007 to $67.8 million at December&nbsp;31, 2008. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our most significant balance sheet liability is our reserve for loss and loss adjustment expenses. We record reserves for estimated losses under
insurance policies that we write and for loss adjustment expenses related to the investigation and settlement of claims. Our reserves for loss and loss adjustment expenses represent the estimated cost of all reported and unreported loss and loss
adjustment expenses incurred and unpaid at any given point in time based on known facts and circumstances. Reserves are based on estimates of the most likely ultimate cost of individual claims. These estimates are inherently uncertain. In addition,
there are no policy limits on the liability for workers&#146; compensation claims as there are for other forms of insurance. Therefore, estimating reserves for workers&#146; compensation claims may be more uncertain than estimating reserves for
other types of insurance claims with shorter or more definite periods between occurrence of the claim and final determination of the loss and with policy limits on liability for claim amounts. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our focus on providing workers&#146; compensation insurance to employers engaged in hazardous industries results in our receiving relatively fewer but
more severe claims than many other workers&#146; compensation insurance companies. Severe claims, which we define as claims having an estimated ultimate cost of more than $500,000, usually have a material effect on each accident year&#146;s loss
reserves (and our reported results of operations) as a result of both the number of severe claims reported in any year and the timing of claims in the year. As a result of our focus on higher severity, lower frequency business, our reserve for loss
and loss adjustment expenses may have greater volatility than other workers&#146; compensation insurance companies. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">For example,&nbsp;for
the five year period ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, we had recorded&nbsp;137 severe claims, or an average of&nbsp;27 severe claims per year for accident years 2004 through 2008. The number of severe claims reported in any one year in this five-year
period ranged from a low of&nbsp;18 in 2008&nbsp;to a high of 31 in 2006 and 2007. The average severity of these claims ranged from $842,000 in 2006 to $1.4 million in 2005. On average, over the five-year period, these severe claims by themselves
accounted for 10.1 percentage points of our overall loss and defense and cost containment (&#147;DCC&#148;) ratio. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Further, the ultimate
cost of severe claims is more difficult to estimate, principally due to uncertainties as to medical treatment and outcome and the length and degree of disability. Because of these uncertainties, the estimate of the ultimate cost of severe claims can
vary significantly as more information becomes available. As a result, at year end, the case reserve for a severe claim reported early in the year may be more accurate than the case reserve established for a severe claim reported late in the year.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">A key assumption used by management in establishing loss reserves is that average per claim case incurred loss and loss adjustment

estimate for loss and loss adjustment expenses is established based upon management&#146;s analysis of historical data, and factors and trends derived from that data, including claims reported, average claim amount incurred, case development,
duration, severity and payment patterns, as well as subjective assumptions. This analysis includes reviews of case reserves for individual open severe claims in the current and prior years. Management reviews the outcomes from actuarial analyses to
confirm the reasonableness of its reserve estimate. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Substantial judgment is required to determine the relevance of our historical
experience and industry information under current facts and circumstances. The interpretation of this historical and industry data can be impacted by external forces, principally frequency and severity of unreported claims, length of time to achieve
ultimate settlement of claims, inflation in medical costs and wages, insurance policy coverage interpretations, jury determinations and legislative changes. Accordingly, our reserves may prove to be inadequate to cover our actual losses. If we
change our estimates, these changes would be reflected in our results of operations during the period in which they are made, with increases in our reserves resulting in decreases in our earnings. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our gross reserves for loss and loss adjustment expenses at December&nbsp;31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 were $531.3 million, $537.4 million and $519.2 million,
respectively. As a percentage of gross reserves at year end, IBNR represented 26.2% in 2008, 23.8% in 2007 and 24.0% in 2006. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In 2008, we
decreased our estimates for prior year loss reserves by $20.4 million, which increased net income by $13.3 million. In 2007, we decreased our estimates for prior year loss reserves by $9.5 million, which increased net income by $6.2 million. In
2006, we decreased our estimates for prior year loss reserves by $2.2 million, which increased net income by $1.4 million. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The
workers&#146; compensation insurance industry is cyclical in nature and influenced by many factors, including price competition, medical cost increases, natural and man-made disasters, changes in interest rates, changes in state laws and
regulations, and general economic conditions. A hard market cycle in our industry is characterized by decreased competition that results in higher premium rates, more restrictive policy coverage terms, and lower commissions paid to agencies. In
contrast, a soft market cycle is characterized by increased competition that results in lower premium rates, expanded policy coverage terms, and higher commissions paid to agencies. We believe that the workers&#146; compensation insurance industry
is in the midst of a soft market cycle. Our strategy in a soft market is to focus on maintaining underwriting profitability, even if this results in premium contraction. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

2008 for an employer with constant payroll during the term of the policy, we would earn half of the premiums in 2008 and the other half in 2009. On a monthly basis, we also recognize net premiums earned from mandatory pooling arrangements.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We estimate the annual premiums to be paid by our policyholders when we issue the policies and record those amounts on our balance sheet
as premiums receivable. We conduct premium audits on all of our voluntary business policyholders annually, upon the expiration of each policy, including when the policy is renewed. The purpose of these audits is to verify that policyholders have
accurately reported their payroll expenses and employee job classifications, and therefore have paid us the premium required under the terms of the policies. The difference between the estimated premium and the audited premium is referred to as
&#147;earned but unbilled&#148; premium, or EBUB premium. EBUB premium can be higher or lower than the estimated premium. EBUB premium is subject to significant variability and can either increase or decrease earned premium based upon several
factors, including changes in premium growth, industry mix and economic conditions. Due to the timing of audits and other adjustments, actual EBUB premium is generally not determined for several months after the expiration of the policy. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Prior to 2006, we periodically reviewed EBUB premium trends, however, the variability in those trends caused us to conclude that EBUB premium could
not be reasonably estimated. As a result, we recorded EBUB premium as gross written premium and earned premium in the period that the premium audit was completed. In 2006, we recorded an estimate for EBUB premium of $5.3 million, or 1.6% of gross
premiums written in 2006. At December&nbsp;31, 2007, our estimate for EBUB premium was $9.0 million, a change of $3.7 million or 1.1% of gross premiums written in 2007. At December&nbsp;31, 2008, our estimate for EBUB premium was $10.2 million, a
change of $1.2 million or 0.4% of gross premiums written in 2008. On a quarterly basis, we review our estimate of EBUB premiums and record an adjustment to premium, related losses and expenses. </FONT></P> <P

amounts as well as the unpaid cost of recently reported claims which an initial case reserves have not been established. The third component of our reserves for loss and loss adjustment expenses is our AO reserve. Our AO reserve is established for
those future claims administration costs that cannot be allocated directly to individual claims. The final component of our reserves for loss and loss adjustment expenses is the reserve for mandatory pooling arrangements. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In establishing our reserves, we review the results of analyses using actuarial methods that utilize historical loss data from our more than 23 years of
underwriting workers&#146; compensation insurance. The actuarial analysis of our historical data provides the factors we use in estimating our loss reserves. These factors are primarily measures over time of the number of claims paid and reported,
average paid and incurred claim amounts, claim closure rates and claim payment patterns. In evaluating the results of our analyses, management also uses substantial judgment in considering other factors that are not considered in these actuarial
analyses, including changes in business mix, claims management, regulatory issues, medical trends, employment and wage patterns, insurance policy coverage interpretations, judicial determinations and other subjective factors. Due to the inherent
uncertainty associated with these estimates, and the cost of incurred but unreported claims, our actual liabilities may vary significantly from our original estimates. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On a quarterly basis, we review our reserves for loss and loss adjustment expenses to determine whether adjustments are required. Any resulting adjustments are included in the results for the current period. In
establishing our reserves, we do not use loss discounting, which would involve recognizing the time value of money and offsetting estimates of future payments by future expected investment income. Additional information regarding our reserves for
loss and loss adjustment expenses and the actuarial method and other factors used in establishing these reserves can be found under the caption &#147;Business&#151;Loss Reserves&#148; in Item&nbsp;1 of this report. </FONT></P> <P

and loss adjustment expenses that are assumed by reinsurers. These amounts are separately reported on our balance sheet as assets and do not reduce our reserves for loss and loss adjustment expenses because reinsurance does not relieve us of
liability to our policyholders. We are required to pay claims even if a reinsurer fails to pay us under the terms of a reinsurance contract. We calculate amounts recoverable from reinsurers based on our estimates of the underlying loss and loss
adjustment expenses, as well as the terms and conditions of our reinsurance contracts, which could be subject to interpretation. In addition, we bear credit risk with respect to our reinsurers, which can be significant because some of the unpaid
loss and loss adjustment expenses for which we have reinsurance coverage remain outstanding for extended periods of time. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2"><I>Assessments</I>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are subject to various assessments and premium surcharges related to our insurance activities, including assessments and premium surcharges for state guaranty funds and second injury funds.
Assessments based on premiums are recorded as an expense as premiums are earned and generally paid one year after the calendar year in which the policies are written. Assessments based on losses are recorded as an expense as losses are incurred and
are generally paid within one year of when claims are paid by us. State guaranty fund assessments are used by state insurance oversight agencies to pay claims of policyholders of impaired, insolvent or failed insurance companies and the operating
expenses of those agencies. Second injury funds are used by states to reimburse insurers and employers for claims paid to injured employees for aggravation of prior conditions or injuries. In some states, these assessments and premium surcharges may
be partially recovered through a reduction in future premium taxes. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs</I>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
defer commission expenses, premium taxes and certain marketing, sales, underwriting and safety costs that vary with and are primarily related to the acquisition of insurance policies. These acquisition costs are capitalized and charged to expense

deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributed to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities resulting from a tax
rate change impacts our net income or loss in the reporting period that includes the enactment date of the tax rate change. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In assessing
whether our deferred tax assets will be realized, management considers whether it is more likely than not that we will generate future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the
scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, tax planning strategies and projected future taxable income in making this assessment. If necessary, we establish a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amounts that are more
likely than not to be realized. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Impairment of Investment Securities</I>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Impairment of an investment security
results in a reduction of the carrying value of the security and the realization of a loss when the fair value of the security declines below our cost or amortized cost, as applicable, for the security, and the impairment is deemed to be
other-than-temporary. We regularly review our investment portfolio to evaluate the necessity of recording impairment losses for other-than-temporary declines in the fair value of specific investments. We consider various factors in determining if a
decline in the fair value of an individual security is other-than-temporary. Some of the factors we consider include: </FONT></P> <P STYLE="font-size:12px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P>

American Interstate, Silver Oak Casualty and American Interstate of Texas. AMERISAFE&#146;s primary assets are the capital stock of these insurance subsidiaries. The ability of AMERISAFE to fund its operations depends upon the surplus and earnings
of its subsidiaries and their ability to pay dividends to AMERISAFE. Payment of dividends by our insurance subsidiaries is restricted by state insurance laws, including laws establishing minimum solvency and liquidity thresholds. See
&#147;Business&#151;Regulation&#151;Dividend Limitations&#148; in Item&nbsp;1of this report. Based on reported capital and surplus at December&nbsp;31, 2008, American Interstate is permitted under Louisiana insurance law to pay dividends to
AMERISAFE in 2009 in an amount up to $17.6 million without approval by the Louisiana Department of Insurance. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Investment Portfolio </B></FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The principal priorities of our investment portfolio are to provide capital preservation and liquidity. The portfolio&#146;s secondary priority is to
provide maximized after-tax income. We presently expect to maintain sufficient liquidity from funds generated by operations to meet our anticipated insurance obligations and operating and capital expenditure needs. Excess funds from operations will
be invested in accordance with our investment policy and statutory requirements. Because we have the positive intent and ability to hold our fixed maturity securities to maturity, we classify these securities as held-to-maturity. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We allocate our portfolio into three categories: cash and cash equivalents, fixed maturity securities and equity securities. Cash and cash equivalents
include cash on deposit, pooled short-term money market funds and certificates of deposit. Our fixed maturity securities include obligations of the U.S. Treasury or U.S. agencies, obligations of states and their subdivisions, long-term certificates
of deposit, U.S.&nbsp;Dollar-denominated obligations of the U.S. corporations, U.S. agency-based mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities. Our equity securities principally include four
value-based exchange traded funds. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Under Louisiana and Texas law, as applicable, each of American Interstate, Silver Oak Casualty and
American Interstate of Texas is required to invest only in securities that are either interest-bearing or eligible for dividends, and must limit its investment in the securities of any single issuer to five percent of the insurance company&#146;s
assets. As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, we were in compliance with these requirements. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We employ diversification policies and balance
investment credit risk and related underwriting risks to minimize our total potential exposure to any one business sector or security. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As
of December&nbsp;31, 2008, our investment portfolio, including cash and cash equivalents, totaled $800.0 million, an increase of 5.4% from December&nbsp;31, 2007. Our fixed maturity securities are classified as held-to-maturity, as defined by SFAS
No.&nbsp;115, <I>Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities</I>. As such, the reported value of those securities is equal to their amortized cost, and is not impacted by changing interest rates. In 2006 and 2007, we invested in
VRDOs, which are long-term bonds that bear floating interest rates and provide investors with the option to tender or put the bonds at par, generally on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. Due to the fact that we purchased these securities with the
intent to hold less than thirty days, we classified VRDOs as available-for-sale, as defined by SFAS No.&nbsp;115. As such, VRDOs were reported at fair value on our balance sheet. We sold all of our available-for-sale fixed maturity securities as of
January&nbsp;15, 2008. Our equity securities are also classified as available-for-sale and reported at fair value. At December&nbsp;31, 2008, net unrealized losses for our equity securities were $571,000. Net unrealized losses for our equity
securities were $752,000 at December&nbsp;31, 2007. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On January&nbsp;1, 2008, we adopted SFAS No. 157, <I>Fair Value Measurements,</I>
which establishes a fair value hierarchy and requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. As disclosed in Note 19 of the financial statements, our securities
available-for-sale are classified using Level 1 inputs. We did not elect the fair value option prescribed under SFAS No. 159, <I>The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,</I> for any financial assets or financial
liabilities in 2008. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

conditions on market liquidity and prices generally, and the transfer of the investments from the available-for-sale classification to the held-to-maturity classification in January 2004. We expect to recover the carrying value of these securities

asset-backed security were generally specific to this security and do not impact our other investments. This security was impaired at fair value as of December&nbsp;31, 2008. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

severity, lower frequency business, our reserve for loss and loss adjustment expenses may have greater volatility than other workers&#146; compensation insurance companies. For additional information, see &#147;Business&#151;Loss Reserves.&#148;

the loss is paid. When we establish a reserve for loss and loss adjustment expenses for a reported claim, we accrue our obligation to pay any applicable assessments. If settlement of the claim is to be paid out over more than one year, our

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Equity price risk is the risk that we may incur losses due to adverse changes in the market prices of the equity securities we hold in our investment portfolio. We classify our portfolio of equity securities as
available-for-sale and carry these securities on our balance sheet at fair value. Accordingly, adverse changes in the market prices of our equity securities result in a decrease in the value of our total assets and shareholders&#146; equity. In
order to minimize our exposure to equity price risk, we invest primarily in exchange traded funds representing broad, diversified portfolios. In addition, we limit the percentage of equity securities held in our investment portfolio to a 30% or less
of shareholders&#146; equity, plus redeemable preferred stock. As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, the equity securities in our investment portfolio had a fair value of $24.4 million, representing 8.8% of shareholders&#146; equity plus redeemable
preferred stock on that date. See &#147;Business&#151;Investments&#148; in Item&nbsp;1 of this report. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (&#147;GAAP&#148;). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current

equity securities are recorded at fair value. Temporary changes in the fair value of the available-for-sale fixed maturity and equity securities are reported in shareholders&#146; equity as a component of other comprehensive income, net of deferred
income taxes. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Investment income is recognized as it is earned. The discount or premium on fixed maturities is amortized using the

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company regularly reviews the fair value of its investments. Impairment of an investment security
results in a reduction of the carrying value of the security and the realization of a loss when the fair value of the security declines below the cost or amortized cost, as applicable, for the security and the impairment is deemed to be
other-than-temporary. The Company regularly reviews its investment portfolio to evaluate the existence of other-than-temporary declines in the fair value of investments. The Company considers various factors in determining if a decline in the fair
value of an individual security is other-than-temporary, including but not limited to a reduction or interruption in scheduled cash flows, the financial condition of the issuer, how long and how much the fair value has been below amortized cost,
downgrades, and the Company&#146;s intent to sell or ability to hold the security. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">If the Company determines that the decline in fair
value is other-than-temporary, the Company adjusts the cost basis of the investment and reports an impairment charge in net realized gains (losses) on investments in the consolidated statements of income in the period in which the Company makes this
determination. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Cash and Cash Equivalents </I></B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

from policyholders. The Company considers premiums receivable as past due based on the payment terms of the underlying policy. The balance is shown net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Receivables due from insureds are charged off when a
determination has been made that a specific balance will not be collected based upon the collection efforts of Company personnel. An estimate of amounts that are likely to be charged off is established as an allowance for doubtful accounts as of the
balance sheet date. The estimate is primarily comprised of specific balances that are considered probable to be charged off after all collection efforts have ceased, as well as historical trends and an analysis of the aging of the receivables.

amortized over the effective period of the related insurance policies in proportion to premium revenue earned. These capitalized costs consist mainly of sales commissions, premium taxes and other underwriting costs. The Company evaluates deferred
policy acquisition costs for recoverability by comparing the unearned premiums to the estimated total expected claim costs and related expenses, offset by anticipated investment income. The Company would reduce the deferred costs if the unearned
premiums were less than expected claims and expenses after considering investment income, and report any adjustments in amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs. There were no adjustments necessary in 2008, 2007 or 2006. </FONT></P> <P

December&nbsp;31. The Company does not discount loss and loss adjustment expense reserves. The reserves for loss and loss adjustment expenses are estimated using individual case-basis valuations, statistical analyses and estimates based upon
experience for unreported claims and their associated loss and loss adjustment expenses. Such estimates may be more or less than the amounts ultimately paid when the claims are settled. The estimates are subject to the effects of trends in loss
severity and frequency. Although considerable variability is inherent in these estimates, management believes that the reserves for loss and loss adjustment expenses are adequate. The estimates are continually reviewed and adjusted as necessary as
experience develops or new information becomes known. Any adjustments are included in current operations. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Subrogation recoverables, as

cost are fixed and determinable on an individual claim basis through the purchase of annuities. These annuities are purchased from unaffiliated carriers and name the claimant as payee. The cost of purchasing the annuity is recorded as paid loss and
loss adjustment expenses. To the extent the annuity funds estimated future claims, reserves for loss and loss adjustment expense are reduced. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

costs or production during the policy term and are normally billed monthly in arrears or annually. However, the Company generally requires a deposit at the inception of a policy. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Premium revenue is earned on a pro rata basis over periods covered by the policies. The reserve for unearned premiums on these policies is computed on a

records those amounts on the balance sheet as premiums receivable. The Company conducts premium audits on all of its voluntary business policyholders annually, upon the expiration of each policy, including when the policy is renewed. The purpose of
these audits is to verify that policyholders have accurately reported their payroll expenses and employee job classifications, and therefore have paid the Company the premium required under the terms of the policies. The difference between the
estimated premium and the audited premium is referred to as &#147;earned but unbilled&#148; premium, or EBUB premium. EBUB premium can be higher or lower than the estimated premium. EBUB premium is subject to significant variability and can either
increase or decrease earned premium based upon several factors, including changes in premium growth, industry mix and economic conditions. Due to the timing of audits and other adjustments, actual EBUB premium is generally not determined for several
months after the expiration of the policy. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company reviews its estimate of EBUB premiums on a quarterly basis and records an

reduction in underwriting and other operating costs. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Experience-rated commissions are earned from certain reinsurance companies based on
the financial results of the applicable risks ceded to the reinsurers. These commission revenues on reinsurance contracts are recognized during the related reinsurance treaty period and are based on the same assumptions used for recording loss and
allocated loss adjustment expenses. These commissions are reflected as a reduction in underwriting and other operating costs and are adjusted as necessary as experience develops or new information becomes known. Any such adjustments are included in
current operations. Experience-rated commissions reduced underwriting and other operating costs by $13.6 million in 2008, $3.8 million in 2007 and $66,000 in 2006. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. The provision for income taxes has two components, amounts currently payable or
receivable and deferred amounts. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax
assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change
in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company considers deferred tax assets to be
recoverable if it is probable that the related tax losses can be offset by future taxable income. The Company includes reversal of existing temporary differences, tax planning strategies available and future operating income in this assessment. To

participate in favorable claims experience through a dividend. An estimated provision for workers&#146; compensation policyholders&#146; dividends is accrued as the related premiums are earned. Dividends do not become a fixed liability unless and
until declared by the respective Boards of Directors of AMERISAFE&#146;s insurance subsidiaries. The dividend to which a policyholder may be entitled is set forth in the policy and is related to the amount of losses sustained under the policy.
Dividends are calculated after the policy expiration. The Company is able to estimate the policyholder dividend liability because the Company has information regarding the underlying loss experience of the policies written with dividend provisions
and can estimate future dividend payments from the policy terms. Additionally, Florida law requires payment of dividends to Florida policyholders pursuant to a formula based on underwriting results from policies written in Florida over a consecutive
three-year period. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Variable Interest Entities </I></B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

unrealized losses in the fixed maturity securities portfolio related primarily to changes in market interest rates since the date of purchase, current conditions in the capital markets and the impact of those conditions on market liquidity and
prices generally, and the transfer of the investments from the available-for-sale classification to the held-to-maturity classification in January 2004. With the exception of certain securities deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, the
Company expects to recover the carrying value of these securities since management has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities until they mature. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In 2008, the Company recorded aggregate impairment charges of $17.3 million with respect to two asset-backed securities, two equity securities and four value-based exchange traded funds in its investment portfolio. Of
the $17.3 million of impairment charges, $14.0 million related to four value-based exchange traded funds. The value of these securities fell throughout 2008 in line with other major indices during a volatile market cycle. As of December&nbsp;31,
2008, the unrealized losses on these exchange-traded funds exceeded 35% of cost. While the Company believes some portion of the value will be regained as the economy recovers, such recoveries can not be determined to be in the near term. These
securities were impaired using the market close price on the last day of the year. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

period of time. The Company believes that the factors resulting in the impairment of this asset-backed security were generally specific to this security and do not impact its other investments. This security was impaired at fair value as of

reinsurers, at December&nbsp;31, 2007 were decreased in 2008 by $20.4 million. Reserves at December&nbsp;31, 2006 were decreased in 2007 by $9.5 million, and at December&nbsp;31, 2005 reserves were decreased in 2006 by $2.2 million. The revisions to
the Company&#146;s reserves reflect new information gained by claims adjusters in the normal course of adjusting claims and then reflected in the financial statements when the information becomes available. It is typical for more serious claims to
take several years to settle and the Company continually revises estimates as more information about claimants&#146; medical conditions and potential disability becomes known and the claims get closer to being settled. </FONT></P> <P

have an exercise price of not less than 110% of the fair value of the common stock on the date of grant. Stock option grants are exercisable, subject to vesting requirements determined by the Compensation Committee, for periods of up to ten years
from the date of grant, except for any grants to holders of more than 10% of the Company&#146;s voting stock, which will have exercise periods limited to a maximum of five years. Stock options generally expire 90 days after the cessation of an
optionee&#146;s service as an employee. However, in the case of an optionee&#146;s death or disability, the unexercised portion of a stock option remains exercisable for up to one year after the optionee&#146;s death or disability. Stock options
granted under the 2005 Incentive Plan are not transferable, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to estimate the fair value of each
option on the date of grant. The expected terms of options are developed by considering the Company&#146;s historical attrition rate for those employees at the officer level, who are eligible to receive options. Further, the Company aggregates
individual awards into homogenous groups based upon grant date. Expected volatility is estimated using daily historical volatility for six companies within the property and casualty insurance sector. The Company believes that historical volatility
of this peer group is currently the best estimate of expected volatility of the market price of the Company&#146;s common shares. The dividend yield is assumed to be zero as the Company has not historically paid cash dividends nor expects to pay
cash dividends in the near future. The risk-free interest rate is the yield on the grant date of U.S. Treasury zero coupon securities with a maturity comparable to the expected term of the options. </FONT></P> <P

Measurements </I>(SFAS No.&nbsp;157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) 157-2, <I>Effective Date
of FASB Statement SFAS No.&nbsp;157</I> (FSP 157-2). This FSP delays the effective date of SFAS No.&nbsp;157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis
(at least annually), to fiscal years beginning after November&nbsp;15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP 157-2 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements or
results of operations. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company determined the fair values of its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy established
in SFAS No.&nbsp;157, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard defines fair value, describes three levels of inputs that may be used to
measure fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Fair value is defined in SFAS No.&nbsp;157 as the price that
would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is the price to sell an asset or transfer a liability and, therefore, represents an exit
price, not an entry price. Fair value is the exit price in the principal market (or, if lacking a principal market, the most advantageous market) in which the reporting entity would transact. Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an
entity-specific measurement, and, as such, is determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The exit price objective of a fair value measurement applies regardless of the reporting
entity&#146;s intent and/or ability to sell the asset or transfer the liability at the measurement date. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">SFAS No.&nbsp;157 requires the
use of valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable
assets and liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts, such as cash flows or earnings, to a single present amount on a discounted basis. The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be
required to replace the service capacity of an asset, also known as current replacement cost. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value are to be consistently applied. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

its clients ensuring the integrity of their business relationship by engaging in periodic audits of their financial arrangements with ESI. ESI provides this audit right to each and every client. In granting this right, ESI&#146;s primary interest is
to facilitate a responsive and responsible audit process. In order to accomplish this goal, for all clients, ESI has established the following Protocol. Our intent is in no way to limit Sponsor&#146;s ability to determine that ESI has properly and
accurately administered the financial aspects of the Agreement, but rather to create a manageable process in order to be responsive to our clients and the independent auditors that they may engage. If Sponsor has any concern that this Protocol will
prohibit Sponsor from fully confirming its financial arrangement with ESI, we encourage Sponsor to express such concern at the audit kick-off meeting. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="font-size:18px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P>

management (&#147;PBM&#148;) and other related services to thousands of client groups including managed care organizations, health insurers, employer groups, third party administrators and government entities. Express Scripts&#146; subsidiary
companies, some of which provide services related to supporting our PBM services, include ESI Mail Pharmacy Service, Inc., CuraScript, Inc., Express Scripts Specialty Distribution Services, Inc., and Phoenix Marketing Group, LLC. This disclosure
provides an overview of the revenue sources that allow us to deliver competitive pricing arrangements to our clients. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Express Scripts
offers its clients, either directly or through its subsidiary companies, a variety of services related to the management of prescription drug benefits. The specific services provided to each client are documented under the Pharmacy Benefit
Management Agreement, or other similar agreement, with our client. Express Scripts&#146; PBM services typically include claims processing and adjudication, pharmacy network contracting and management, formulary development and management, rebate
management and administration, trend management, and clinical program development and fulfillment. Some of our clients also utilize our mail service pharmacy to provide their Injured Workers with convenient access to safe and affordable prescription
drugs through home delivery. In addition to the administrative fees paid to us by our clients for these core PBM services, Express Scripts derives revenue from other sources, including arrangements with pharmaceutical manufacturers and retail
pharmacies. Some of this revenue relates to utilization of products by Injured Workers of the clients for whom we provide PBM services. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2"><U>Network Pharmacies</U> &#150; Express Scripts contracts for its own account with retail pharmacies to dispense prescription drugs to injured Workers of the clients for whom we provide PBM services. The rates paid by Express Scripts to
these pharmacies differ from one network of pharmacies to the next, and among pharmacies within a network. Express Scripts generally contracts with clients to be paid an ingredient cost for drugs dispensed in a given retail network selected by the
client at a uniform rate that applies to all pharmacies in the selected network. Thus, where the rate paid by a client exceeds the rate negotiated with a particular pharmacy, Express Scripts will realize a positive margin on the applicable
prescription. The reverse may also be true, resulting in negative margin for Express Scripts. In addition, when Express Scripts receives payment from a client before payment to a pharmacy is due, Express Scripts retains the benefit of the use of the
funds between these payments. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>Manufacturer Rebates and Associated Administrative Fees</U> &#150; Express Scripts contracts for its own
account with pharmaceutical manufacturers to obtain rebates attributable to the utilization of certain prescription products by individuals who receive benefits from clients for whom we provide PBM services. Rebate amounts vary based on the volume
of utilization as well as the benefit design and formulary position applicable to utilization of a product. Express Scripts often pays all or a portion of the rebates it receives to a client based on the client&#146;s PBM services agreement. Express
Scripts retains the financial benefit of the use of any funds held until payment is made to a client. In connection with our maintenance and operation of the systems and other infrastructure necessary for managing and administering the rebate
process, Express Scripts also receives administrative fees from pharmaceutical manufacturers participating in the rebate program discussed above. The services provided to participating manufacturers include making certain drug utilization data
available, as allowed by law, for purposes of verifying and evaluating the rebate payments. The administrative fees paid to Express Scripts by manufacturers for participation in the rebate program do not exceed 3.5% of the AWP of the rebated
products. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>Pharmacy Dispensing and Distribution</U> &#150; Express Scripts has several licensed pharmacy subsidiaries, including our
specialty pharmacies. These entities purchase prescription drug inventories, either directly from manufacturers or from drug wholesalers, for dispensing to patients or for distribution to physician offices. Purchase discounts off the acquisition
cost of these products are made available by manufacturers in the form of both up-front and retrospective discounts. Such discounts are not considered part of the rebates paid to Express Scripts by manufacturers in connection with our rebate
program. While rebates are directly attributable to the utilization of pharmaceutical products by individuals who receive benefits from clients for whom we provide PBM services, product acquisition price discounts are based on a pharmacy&#146;s
inventory needs and, in the case of specialty pharmacies, the performance of related patient care service obligations. The purchase discounts obtained by these facilities are not based on any client&#146;s benefit design. When an Express Scripts
subsidiary pharmacy dispenses or distributes a product from its inventory, the purchase price paid for the dispensed product, including applicable dispensing fees, may be greater or less than the pharmacy&#146;s acquisition cost for the product net
of purchase discounts. In general, our pharmacies realize an overall positive margin between this net acquisition cost and the amounts paid for the dispensed products. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>Pharmaceutical Program Services</U> &#150; Our specialty pharmacies, including CuraScript, Inc. and Express Scripts Specialty Distribution Services, Inc., receive compensation from manufacturers for their
administration of programs related to the distribution of certain pharmaceutical products. This compensation is based on the fair market value of the services provided and is unrelated to the drug formulary development process or drug utilization
applicable to the clients for whom we provide PBM services. Examples of these services include (i)&nbsp;administering patient assistance programs for indigent patients; (ii)&nbsp;administering product sample distribution programs; and
(iii)&nbsp;dispensing prescription medications to patients enrolled in clinical trials. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>Data Reporting</U> &#150; Express Scripts sells
certain data resulting from its PBM and pharmacy services to healthcare data aggregators and similar entities from time to time. We do not sell any data unless we are permitted to do so by the terms of our client contract and by applicable patient
privacy laws. In addition, as a condition to receiving access to certain products, a specialty pharmaceutical manufacturer often will require a purchasing specialty pharmacy to report selected information to the manufacturer regarding the
pharmacy&#146;s service levels and other de-identified dispensing-related data with respect to patients who receive such manufacturer&#146;s product. A portion of the discounts or other compensation made available to our specialty pharmacies
represents compensation for such reporting. All such reporting activities are conducted in compliance with applicable patient privacy laws. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

services for pharmaceutical manufacturers. Because its services involve only warehousing and fulfillment-related functions, this subsidiary entity does not review products clinically and it never uses, sells or has access to Express Scripts&#146;
client or injured Worker information. Compensation paid to Phoenix Marketing Group, LLC by pharmaceutical manufacturers is based on the fair market value of such services, as established most often through an &#147;RFP&#148; process, and any such
compensation is unrelated to the drug formulary development process or drug utilization applicable to the clients for whom Express Scripts provides PBM services. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

Dispensing and Distribution</U> &#150; Express Scripts has several licensed pharmacy subsidiaries, including our specialty pharmacies. These entities purchase prescription drug inventories, either directly from manufacturers or from drug
wholesalers, for dispensing to patients or for distribution to physician offices. Purchase discounts off the acquisition cost of these products are made available by manufacturers in the form of both up-front and retrospective discounts. Such
discounts are not considered part of the rebates paid to Express Scripts by manufacturers in connection with our rebate program. While rebates are directly attributable to the utilization of pharmaceutical products by individuals who receive
benefits from clients for whom we provide PBM services, product acquisition price discounts are based on a pharmacy&#146;s inventory needs and, in the case of specialty pharmacies, the performance of related patient care service obligations. The
purchase discounts obtained by these facilities are not based on any client&#146;s benefit design. When an Express Scripts subsidiary pharmacy dispenses or distributes a product from its inventory, the purchase price paid for the dispensed product,
including applicable dispensing fees, may be greater or less than the pharmacy&#146;s acquisition cost for the product net of purchase discounts. In general, our pharmacies realize an overall positive margin between this net acquisition cost and the
amounts paid for the dispensed products. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>Pharmaceutical Program Services</U> &#150; Our specialty pharmacies, including CuraScript,
Inc. and Express Scripts Specialty Distribution Services, Inc., receive compensation from manufacturers for their administration of programs related to the distribution of certain pharmaceutical products. This compensation is based on the fair
market value of the services provided and is unrelated to the drug formulary development process or drug utilization applicable to the clients for whom we provide PBM services. Examples of these services include (i)&nbsp;administering patient
assistance programs for indigent patients; (ii)&nbsp;administering product sample distribution programs; and (iii)&nbsp;dispensing prescription medications to patients enrolled in clinical trials. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>Data Reporting</U> &#150; Express Scripts sells certain data resulting from its PBM and pharmacy services to healthcare data aggregators and similar
entities from time to time. We do not sell any data unless we are permitted to do so by the terms of our client contract and by applicable patient privacy laws. In addition, as a condition to receiving access to certain products, a specialty
pharmaceutical manufacturer often will require a purchasing specialty pharmacy to report selected information to the manufacturer regarding the pharmacy&#146;s service levels and other de-identified dispensing-related data with respect to patients
who receive such manufacturer&#146;s product. A portion of the discounts or other compensation made available to our specialty pharmacies represents compensation for such reporting. All such reporting activities are conducted in compliance with
applicable patient privacy laws. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>Other Pharmaceutical Manufacturer Services</U> &#150; Phoenix Marketing Group, LLC specializes in the
provision of sample fulfillment, sample accountability, alternative sampling, direct mail fulfillment, and literature fulfillment services for pharmaceutical manufacturers. Because its services involve only warehousing and fulfillment-related
functions, this subsidiary entity does not review products clinically and it never uses, sells or has access to Express Scripts&#146; client or member information. Compensation paid to Phoenix Marketing Group, LLC by pharmaceutical manufacturers is
based on the fair market value of such services, as established most often through an &#147;RFP&#148; process, and any such compensation is unrelated to the drug formulary development process or drug utilization applicable to the clients for whom
Express Scripts provides PBM services. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">July, 2005 </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>THIS

its clients ensuring the integrity of their business relationship by engaging in periodic audits of their financial arrangements with ESI. ESI provides this audit right to each and every client. In granting this right, ESI&#146;s primary interest is
to facilitate a responsive and responsible audit process. In order to accomplish this goal, for all clients, ESI has established the following Protocol. Our intent is in no way to limit Client&#146;s ability to determine that ESI has properly and
accurately administered the financial aspects of the Agreement, but rather to create a manageable process in order to be responsive to our clients and the independent auditors that they may engage. If Client has any concern that this Protocol will
prohibit Client from fully confirming its financial arrangement with ESI, we encourage Client to express such concern at the audit kick-off meeting. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="font-size:18px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P>
