Company Symbols: NASDAQ-OTCBB:ASAM


ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Atlanta-based ASSURANCEAMERICA CORPORATION (OTC BB: ASAM) today announced its unaudited financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2010.


Three Months Ended March 31,

(in thousand, except per ratios)

2010 2009 Change

Total revenue $ 18,176 $ 17,774 2 %

Income before taxes $ 1,399 $ 1,346 4 %

Net income $ 839 $ 817 3 %




Revenues for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 increased 2% to $18.2 million, compared to $17.8 million in 2009 as a result of increased premiums earned and improved investment income results within the Carrier/MGA wholesale division.

The Company's income before taxes for the three month period ending March 31, 2010 were $1.4 million compared to $1.3 million in 2009. The Company's net income was $839 thousand for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 compared to $817 thousand in 2009.

Gross premiums produced, which includes gross written premium in the Carrier/MGA wholesale division and premiums for policies sold in the retail division, decreased 3% to $44.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $46.0 million for the same period of 2009. The decrease in gross premiums produced was primarily driven by lower production within the Carrier/MGA and the retail division due to soft market conditions. Gross Premiums Produced, a non-GAAP financial measure, is used by management as the primary measure of the underlying growth of the Company's revenue streams from period to period.

Joseph J. Skruck, President, stated, "Given the continued challenging market conditions, I am pleased with our results this quarter, which reflect our focus on maintaining strong underwriting discipline."

AssuranceAmerica focuses on the non-standard automobile insurance marketplace, primarily in Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia. Its principal operating subsidiaries are TrustWay Insurance Agencies, LLC ("Agency"), which sells personal automobile insurance policies through its 43 retail agencies, AssuranceAmerica Managing General Agency, LLC ("MGA"), and AssuranceAmerica Insurance Company ("Carrier").

24 million float

I created this board to see if anyone out there knew much about these guys. I thought they looked interesting. Looks like revs are growing and they have expanded to additional states over the last year including California and Florida. I bought some shares little while back and it has sat pretty flat. I am thinking about adding some more because I think the additional expansion is going pay off down the road. Let me know.
