         The condensed consolidated balance sheet for the year ended December
31, 2005 and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine
months ended September 30, 2005, that have been included in this Form 10-Q
reflect the necessary restatements, as described below, to comply with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In this Form
10-Q, the condensed consolidated balance sheet for the year ended December 31,
2005 is being restated to correct the presentation of a $6.4 million book
overdraft from a reduction in "cash and cash equivalents" to an "other
liability" account The condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the
nine months ended September 30, 2005 is being restated to reflect this
correction in accounting for the book overdraft, and results in an increase in
"net cash provided by operating activities" of $3.1 million. The restatement has
no impact on our condensed consolidated statements of operations, the related
per share amounts, or the consolidated statements of changes in stockholders'
equity of any previous periods. Conforming changes have been made to the
condensed consolidated statement of cash flows included in management's
discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations
included in this Form 10-Q. See Note 11 in the notes to the condensed
consolidated financial statements for further information relating to the
restatement. After the date hereof, the Company will file amendments to its
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 and its
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, and June 30,
2006 restating the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of
changes in cash flows included in such Reports to reflect the corrected
treatment of the book overdraft.

         NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America ("United States") for interim financial
information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
and recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the
notes thereto set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2005. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of AmCOMP, AmCOMP Preferred Insurance Company
("AmCOMP Preferred"), Pinnacle Administrative, Inc. ("Pinnacle Administrative"),
Pinnacle Benefits, Inc. ("Pinnacle Benefits"), AmCOMP Assurance Corporation
("AmCOMP Assurance") and AmServ Incorporated ("AmServ"). All intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

         Results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ending December 31, 2006.

         NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS -- In July 2006, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board ("FASB") issued an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,
ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES ("FIN 48"). This interpretation
clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an
enterprise's financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109,
ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and
measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of
a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This
interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest
and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The
Interpretation establishes a "more likely than not" recognition threshold for
tax benefits to be recognized in the financial statements. The "more likely than
not" determination is to be based solely on the technical merits of the
position. This interpretation will be effective January 1, 2007 The Company is
currently evaluating the impact of this standard.

         In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, FAIR VALUE
MEASUREMENTS ("SFAS 157"). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles,
and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement addresses
how to calculate fair value measurements required or permitted under other
accounting pronouncements. Accordingly, this statement does not require any new
fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this
statement will change current practice. SFAS No. 157 is effective for the
Company beginning January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact of this standard.

         In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 108, CONSIDERING THE EFFECTS OF PRIOR YEAR MISSTATEMENTS
WHEN QUANTIFYING MISSTATEMENTS IN CURRENT YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ("SAB 108").
SAB 108 provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or
reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a
current year misstatement. The Company will be required to adopt the provisions
of SAB 108 in its annual financial statements for fiscal year 2006 and is
currently evaluating the impact on its financial position and statements of
operations.

         Statement of Position ("SOP") 05-1, Accounting by Insurance Enterprises
for Deferred Acquisition Costs in Connection with Modifications or Exchanges of
Insurance Contracts, issued September 2005, becomes effective January 1, 2007.
SOP 05-1 provides guidance on accounting for deferred acquisition costs on
internal replacements of insurance and investment contracts other than those
specifically described in SFAS 97, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance
Enterprises for Certain Long-Duration Contracts and for Realized Gains and
Losses from the Sale of Investments. The SOP defines an internal replacement as
a modification in product benefits, features, rights, or coverage that occurs by


                                       7


the exchange of a contract for a new contract, or by amendment, endorsement, or
rider to a contract, or by the election of a feature or coverage within a
contract. The Company does not anticipate a significant impact upon adoption.

         STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION -- The Company grants stock options to its
employees, officers and directors. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company
adopted the provisions of SFAS 123R, for its stock based compensation plans.
Among other things, SFAS 123R requires that compensation expense for all
share-based awards be recognized in the financial statements based upon the
grant-date fair value of those awards.

         Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock-based
compensation to employees using the intrinsic value method as prescribed by
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees ("APB No. 25"), and related interpretations and disclosure
requirements established by SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation ("SFAS 123"), as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation - Transitions and Disclosures ("SFAS 148").
Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options issued to employees was
measured as the excess, if any, of the estimated market price of the Company's
stock at the date of grant over the amount an employee must pay for the stock.

         The following table illustrates the effect on net earnings and earnings
per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 if the Company
had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to stock-based
employee compensation (in thousands, except per share data):

                                                                        =========           ==========

The fair value for those options was estimated at the date of grant using the
minimum value option pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free
interest rates equal to the five-year U.S. Treasury Bill rate on the grant date;
expected dividend yield of 0%; expected life equal to the life of the options
between four and five years; and stock price on the date of grant.

         The Company has adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective
transition method. Under this transition method, compensation cost recognized in
the first three quarters of 2006 includes:

         o    Compensation cost for all share based awards (expected to vest)
              granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based
              upon grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the
              original provisions of SFAS 123; and

         o    Compensation cost for all share-based awards (expected to vest)
              granted during the three-months and nine-months ended September
              30, 2006 based upon the grant-date fair value estimated in
              accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R.

Results for prior periods have not been restated.

         Upon adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company continued to use the
Black-Scholes option pricing model for valuing all stock options. Compensation
for non-vested stock awards is measured at fair value on the grant-date based
upon the number of shares expected to vest and the quoted market price of the
underlying common stock. Compensation cost for all awards will be recognized in
earnings, net of estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the


                                       8


requisite service period. As a result of the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company
recognized approximately $0.2 million and $0.5 million of stock option
compensation expense in the three months and nine months ended September 30,
2006. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months and nine months
ended September 30, 2006 were reduced by $0.01 and $0.03, respectively.

         See Note 2 for additional information regarding the Company's
stock-based compensation plans and the assumptions used to calculate the fair
value of stock-based awards.

2.       STOCK OPTIONS

         During 1997, the Board of Directors approved a director stock option
plan (the "Directors Plan") and reserved 87,320 shares of common stock for
issuance under this plan. Under the Directors Plan, options vest over a period
determined at the time of grant and are exercisable over a five-year period
after the date of grant for an exercise price equal to management's estimate of
the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. In January 2006,
the Directors' Plan was amended. The amended plan states that all directors who
are not employees of AmCOMP are eligible to receive grants of options under the
Directors Plan. Each eligible director receives an automatic, nondiscretionary
grant of (1) an option to purchase shares of common stock with an aggregate fair
market value at the time of grant equal to $66,000 upon election to the Board
and (2) options to purchase shares of common stock with an aggregate fair market
value at the time of grant equal to $13,200 annually on each January 1
thereafter so long as he remains an eligible director. In addition, the Board
has the authority to make discretionary grants of options under the Plan.

         During 1996, the Board approved an employee stock option plan (the
"1996 Plan") and reserved 272,878 shares of the Company's common stock,
subsequently increased to 960,531 shares, for future issuance thereunder. The
employee options vest over a period determined at the time of grant and are
exercisable over a period of not more than 10 years at an exercise price equal
to management's estimate of the fair market value of the common stock at the
date of grant in the case of incentive options and not less than 80% of such
fair market value in the case of nonqualified options. In September 2005, the
Board terminated the 1996 Plan, which had no effect on options outstanding
thereunder.

         Prior to 1999, the Company granted two executives options to purchase
shares under nonqualified stock option agreements. Of the options granted,
options to purchase 272,877 common shares are still outstanding as of September
30, 2006. These options vested over a three to five-year period and are
exercisable over a 10 year period after the date of grant at an exercise price
of $13.74 per share.

         In September 2005, the Board adopted an employee stock option plan (the
"2005 Plan"), and reserved 567,586 shares with a limit of 218,302 shares per
optionee per calendar year. Unless sooner terminated by the Board, the 2005 Plan
terminates on September 6, 2015. The employee options vest over a period
determined at the time of grant, generally 4 years, and are exercisable over a
period of not more than 10 years at an exercise price at least equal to fair
market value of the common stock at the date of grant.

         Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R, using the
modified prospective application transition method. Under this method, all
outstanding employee stock options are being expensed over the remaining vesting
period based on the fair value of the options at the date they were granted.
Additionally, SFAS No. 123R requires the estimation of forfeitures in
calculating the expense related to stock-based compensation. As of September 30,
2006, total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock
options was approximately $2.0 million. This cost is expected to be recognized
over the weighted average period of 2.9 years.

         In February 2006, the Company granted three executives options to
purchase 384,217 shares of common stock outside of existing plans. These options
vest over a three-to-four year period and are exercisable over a five-year
period after the date of grant for an exercise price of $9 per share.

         For the years ended December 31, 2005 and prior, the Company has
elected to follow APB No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and
related interpretations in accounting for its stock options granted to employees
and directors. Under APB No. 25, because the exercise price of the Company's
employee stock options equals or is greater than the estimated fair value of the
underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.

         As of September 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005, options to purchase
556,602 and 588,453 shares were exercisable. The weighted average remaining
contractual life of the exercisable options was 0.6 years and 1.3 years as of
September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. The per-share weighted
average grant date fair value of options granted in the three months and nine
months ended September 30, 2006 was $3.43 and $3.05, respectively. The fair
value of stock options granted was estimated on the dates of grant using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following weighted average assumptions
were used to perform the calculations: zero expected dividend yield, 4.56%
risk-free interest rate, 5 year expected life, and 28.2% volatility. Forfeitures
were estimated at 20% for board members, 5% for executives and 10% for all
remaining employees. No options were granted in 2005. As of September 30, 2006
the aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and options exercisable was
approximately $602,000 and $109,000, respectively.

3.       STATE OF FLORIDA SDTF

         The State of Florida maintains the Special Disability Trust Fund
("SDTF") for the purpose of providing benefits to workers who have a
pre-existing condition and incur a second or subsequent injury. The SDTF is
funded through annual assessments against workers' compensation insurers, which
are based on a percentage of net workers' compensation premiums written.
Assessments were $3.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and
2005, respectively. As of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, $2.1 million
and $2.0 million, respectively, of SDTF assessments are included in deferred
acquisition costs on the balance sheet.

         AmCOMP Preferred submits claims to the SDTF for recovery of applicable
claims paid on behalf of AmCOMP Preferred's insureds. Because of the uncertainty
of the collectibility of such amounts, SDTF recoverables are reported in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements when received. Cash collections
from the SDTF were approximately $0.5 million and $0.6 million in the nine
months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.


                                       10


         The SDTF currently has significant unfunded liabilities. It is not
possible to predict how the SDTF will operate, if at all, in the future after
further legislative review. Changes in the SDTF's operations could decrease the
availability of recoveries from the SDTF, increase SDTF assessments payable by
AmCOMP Preferred and/or result in the discontinuation of the SDTF and thus could
have an adverse effect on AmCOMP Preferred's business, financial condition, and
its operations. Under current law, future assessments are capped at 4.52% of net
written premiums, and no recoveries can be made for losses incurred by the SDTF
after January 1, 1998.

         The Company continuously monitors its portfolio to preserve principal
values whenever possible. All securities in an unrealized loss position are
reviewed to determine whether the impairment is other-than-temporary. An
investment in a fixed maturity security is impaired if its fair value falls
below its book value. Factors considered in determining whether an impairment is
considered to be other-than-temporary include length of time and the extent to
which fair value has been below cost, the financial condition and near-term
prospects of the issuer, and the Company's ability and intent to hold the
security until its expected recovery.

         The following table summarizes, for all fixed maturity securities in an
unrealized loss position at September 30, 2006, the aggregate fair value and
gross unrealized loss by length of time the security has continuously been in an
unrealized loss position (in thousands):

         At September 30, 2006, there were no investments in fixed maturity
securities with individual material unrealized losses. Three impairments
totaling approximately $199,000 were recorded on our investments during the nine
months ended September 30, 2006. All the unrealized losses on the fixed maturity
securities are interest rate related.

5.       REINSURANCE

         Certain premiums and losses are ceded to other insurance companies
under quota share reinsurance arrangements and various aggregate and specific
excess of loss reinsurance agreements. The ceded reinsurance agreements are
intended to provide the Company with the ability to maintain its exposure to
loss within its capital resources. Losses ceded under these treaties are
estimated based on ultimate losses. These estimates are subject to the effects
of trends in loss severity. Although considerable variability is inherent in
such estimates, management believes that its estimates of losses ceded under
these treaties are reasonable. These estimates are continually reviewed and
adjusted as necessary as experience develops or new information becomes known;
such adjustments are included in current operations. Effective July 2004, the
Company has discontinued the use of quota share reinsurance on new and renewal
business.

         AmCOMP Preferred and AmCOMP Assurance offer workers' compensation

         first half of 2002, the Company also retained 10% of the layer from
         $1.0 million to $10.0 million for the first half of 2002 on policies
         effective in 2002 and 10% of the layer from $5.0 million to $10.0

         retention is $1.0 million. The Company also retained 10% of the layer
         from $5.0 million to $10.0 million.

         In addition to the stated specific retentions and limits shown and
consistent with common industry practice, our excess reinsurance contracts
contain several other limitations to claim payouts. Some of the more significant
limitations include limitations to the payout for any one claimant, limitations
to the number of reinsurance claims allowed in any one year, and exclusions for
payments related to terrorism and other similarly catastrophic events.

         The Company's estimate for losses and LAE related to prior years, net
of related reinsurance recoverables, decreased during the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 and the year ended December 31, 2005 by $15.7 million and
$24.7 million, respectively, as a result of actual loss development emerging
more favorably than expected. Management believes the historical experience of
the Company is a reasonable basis for estimating future losses. However, future
events beyond the control of management, such as inflation, claims settlement
patterns, legislative activity and litigation trends, may favorably or
unfavorably impact the ultimate settlement of the Company's loss and loss
adjustment expenses.

         The anticipated effect of inflation is implicitly considered when
estimating liabilities for losses and LAE. While anticipated changes in claim
costs due to inflation are considered in estimating the ultimate claim costs,
the increase in average severity of claims is caused by a number of factors that
vary with the individual type of policy written. Future average severities are
projected based on historical trends adjusted for implemented changes in
underwriting standards, policy provisions, and general economic trends. Those
anticipated trends are monitored based on actual development and are modified if
necessary. Changes in the Company's estimate of reserves for losses and loss
adjustment expenses are reflected in operations in the period in which the
estimates are changed.

7.       COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         LITIGATION --AmCOMP along with AmCOMP Preferred and AmCOMP Assurance
are collectively defendants in identical actions commenced in Pennsylvania and
Florida courts by the Insurance Commissioner of Pennsylvania, acting in the
capacity as liquidator of Reliance Insurance Company. The complaints in those
actions allege that preferential payments were made by Reliance Insurance
Company under the formerly existing reinsurance agreement with AmCOMP Preferred
and AmCOMP Assurance and seek damages in the amount of approximately $2.3
million. AmCOMP, along with AmCOMP Preferred and AmCOMP Assurance, has made
various motions addressed to these complaints. The Company, based on the advice
of counsel, believes that it has a variety of factual and legal defenses,
including a right of offset related to the statement of claim filed by the
Company and Preferred in the Reliance Insurance Company liquidation proceeding
for the recovery of approximately $9.9 million under the reinsurance agreement.
Although the ultimate results of these legal actions and related claims cannot


                                       15


presently be determined, the Company had accrued liabilities of $1.2 million and
$1.3 million as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 related to those
matters.

         The Company is named as a defendant in various legal actions arising
principally from claims made under insurance policies and contracts. Those
actions are considered by the Company in estimating the losses and LAE reserves.

8.       NOTES PAYABLE

         On October 12, 2000, the Company entered into a credit facility (the
"Loan") with a financial institution under which the Company borrowed $11.3
million. The Loan calls for monthly interest payments at the 30-day LIBOR rate
plus a margin. The Loan is collateralized by $25.5 million of surplus notes
issued by AmCOMP Preferred and AmCOMP Assurance and the stock of AmCOMP
Preferred. During 2003, the remaining balance of the Loan was refinanced and the
Company borrowed an additional $5.5 million . At September 30, 2006 and December
31, 2005, the principal balance was $6.7 million and $8.0 million, respectively.
The interest rate was 7.8% at September 30, 2006.

         On April 29, 2004, AmCOMP Preferred issued a $10 million surplus note
in return for $10 million in cash to Dekania CDO II, Ltd., as part of a pooled
transaction. The note matures in 30 years and is callable by the Company after
five years. The terms of the note provide for quarterly interest payments at a
rate 425 basis points in excess of the 90-day LIBOR. Both the payment of
interest and repayment of the principal under this note and the surplus notes
described in the succeeding two paragraphs are subject to the prior approval of
the Florida Department of Financial Services. Approved interest paid through
September 30, 2006 and 2005 totaled $0.7 million and $0.5, million respectively.
Unpaid and unapproved interest as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005
were $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

         On May 26, 2004, AmCOMP Preferred issued a $12 million surplus note, in
return for $12 million in cash, to ICONS, Inc., as part of a pooled transaction.
The note matures in 30 years and is callable by the Company after five years.
The terms of the note provide for quarterly interest payments at a rate 425
basis points in excess of the 90-day LIBOR. Approved interest paid through
September 30, 2006 and 2005 totaled $0.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively.
Unpaid and unapproved interest as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005
were $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

         On September 14, 2004, AmCOMP Preferred issued a $10 million surplus
note, in return for $10 million in cash, to Alesco Preferred Funding V, LTD, as
part of a pooled transaction. The terms of the note provide for quarterly
interest payments at a rate 405 basis points in excess of the 90-day LIBOR.
Approved interest paid through September 30, 2006 and 2005 totaled $0.7 million
and $0.5 million, respectively. Unpaid and unapproved interest as of September
30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were $39,000 and $38,000, respectively.

have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because
they are antidilutive.

         All share and per share amounts in the condensed consolidated financial
statements have been restated to give effect to the 1-for-2.2904 reverse common
stock split effected by AmCOMP on February 6, 2006. The stock split was effected
as a stock dividend.

11.      RESTATEMENT

         Subsequent to the issuance of the Company's previous filings,
management determined that the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet as
of December 31, 2005, and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the
nine months ended September 30, 2005, should be restated. The condensed
consolidated balance sheet is being restated to correct the presentation of a
$6.4 million book overdraft from a reduction in "cash and cash equivalents" to
an "other liability" account. The condensed consolidated statement of cash flows
for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 is being restated to reflect this
correction in accounting for the book overdraft, and results in an increase in
"net cash provided by operating activities" of $3.1 million. The restatement has
no impact on our condensed consolidated statements of operations, the related


                                       18


per share amounts, or the condensed consolidated statements of changes in
stockholders' equity.

         A summary of the effects of the restatement on the Company's condensed
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2005, and condensed consolidated
statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 is as

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS

         THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE ACCOMPANYING NOTES APPEARING IN OUR ANNUAL REPORT

         AS DISCUSSED IN NOTE 11 TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS, SUBSEQUENT ISSUANCE OF THE COMPANY'S PREVIOUS FILINGS, MANAGEMENT
DETERMINED THAT THE COMPANY'S CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET AS OF
DECEMBER 31, 2005, AND CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS FOR THE
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005, SHOULD BE RESTATED. THE CONDENSED
CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET IS BEING RESTATED TO CORRECT THE PRESENTATION OF A
$6.4 MILLION BOOK OVERDRAFT FROM A REDUCTION IN "CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS" TO
AN "OTHER LIABILITY" ACCOUNT. THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 IS BEING RESTATED TO REFLECT THIS
CORRECTION IN ACCOUNTING FOR THE BOOK OVERDRAFT, AND RESULTS IN AN INCREASE IN
"NET CASH PROVIDED BY OPERATING ACTIVITIES" OF $3.1 MILLION. THE RESTATEMENT HAS
NO IMPACT ON OUR CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS, THE RELATED
PER SHARE AMOUNTS, OR THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CHANGES IN
STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY. THE LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES SECTION OF
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANANLYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS HAS BEEN UPDATED TO REFLECT THIS RESTATEMENT.

         IN ADDITION TO HISTORICAL INFORMATION, THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION
CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES.
OUR ACTUAL RESULTS IN FUTURE PERIODS MAY DIFFER FROM THOSE REFERRED TO HEREIN

OVERVIEW

         AmCOMP Incorporated, a Delaware corporation, is a holding company
engaged through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including AmCOMP Preferred and
AmCOMP Assurance, in the workers' compensation insurance business. Our long-term
source of consolidated earnings is principally the income from our workers'
compensation insurance business and investment income from our investment
portfolio. Workers' compensation insurance provides coverage for the statutorily
prescribed wage replacement and medical care benefits that employers are
required to make available to their employees injured in the course of
employment. We are licensed to provide workers' compensation insurance in 23
states, but currently focus our resources in 13 states that we believe provide
the greatest opportunity for near-term profitable growth.

         Our results of operations are affected by the following business and
accounting factors and critical accounting policies:

         REVENUES

         Our revenues are principally derived from:

         o    premiums we earn from the sale of workers' compensation insurance
              policies and from the portion of the premiums assumed from the
              National Workers' Compensation Reinsurance Pool ("NWCRP"), which
              we refer to as gross premiums, less the portion of those premiums
              that we cede to other insurers, which we refer to as ceded
              premiums. We refer to the difference between gross premiums and
              ceded premiums as net premiums; and

         o    investment income that we earn on invested assets.

         EXPENSES

         Our expenses primarily consist of:

         o    insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses ("LAE") relating to
              the insurance policies we write directly and to the portion of the


                                       20


              losses assumed from the NWCRP, including estimates for losses
              incurred during the period and changes in estimates from prior
              periods, which we refer to as gross losses and LAE, less the
              portion of those insurance losses and LAE that we cede to our
              reinsurers, which we refer to as ceded losses and LAE. We refer to
              the difference as net losses and LAE;

         o    commissions and other underwriting expenses, which consist of
              commissions we pay to agents, premium taxes and company expenses
              related to the production and underwriting of insurance policies,
              less ceding commissions reinsurers pay to us under our reinsurance
              contracts;

         o    other operating and general expenses, which include general and
              administrative expenses such as salaries, rent, office supplies
              and depreciation and other expenses not otherwise classified
              separately;

         o    assessments and premium surcharges related to our insurance
              activities, including assessments and premium surcharges for state
              guaranty funds and other second injury funds; and

         o    interest expense under our bank credit facility and surplus notes
              issued to third parties.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the
financial statements. As more information becomes known, these estimates and
assumptions could change, which would have an impact on the amounts reported in
the future. There were no changes from Critical Accounting Policies as
previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2005, except as noted below.

STOCK OPTIONS

         The Company grants stock options to its employees, officers and
directors. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123R, Share-Based
Payment ("SFAS 123R"), for its stock based compensation plans. Among other
things, SFAS 123R requires that compensation expense for all share-based awards
be recognized in the financial statements based upon the grant-date fair value
of those awards.

         The Company has adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective
transition method. Under this transition method, compensation cost recognized in
2006 includes:

         o    Compensation cost for all share based awards (expected to vest)
              granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based
              upon grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the
              original provisions of SFAS 123; and

         o    Compensation cost for all share-based awards (expected to vest)
              granted during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006
              based upon the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with
              the provisions of SFAS 123R.

         The fair value of stock options granted was estimated on the dates of
grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following weighted
average assumptions were used to perform the calculations relating to the 2006
option grants: zero expected dividend yield, 4.56% risk-free interest rate, 5
year expected life, and 28.2% volatility. Forfeitures were estimated at 20% for
board members, 5% for executives and 10% for all remaining employees.

MEASUREMENT OF RESULTS

         We evaluate our operations by monitoring key measures of growth and
profitability. We measure our growth by examining our gross premiums. We measure
our operating results by examining our net income, return on equity, and our


                                       21


loss, expense, dividend and combined ratios. The following provides further
explanation of the key measures that we use to evaluate our results:

         GROSS PREMIUMS WRITTEN. Gross premiums written is the sum of direct
premiums written and assumed premiums written. Direct premiums written is the
sum of the total policy premiums, net of cancellations, associated with policies
underwritten by our insurance subsidiaries. Assumed premiums written represent
our share of the premiums assumed from the NWCRP. We use gross premiums written,
which excludes the impact of premiums ceded to reinsurers, as a measure of the
underlying growth of our insurance business from period to period.

         NET PREMIUMS WRITTEN. Net premiums written is the sum of direct
premiums written and assumed premiums written less ceded premiums written. Ceded
premiums written is the portion of our direct premiums that we cede to our
reinsurers under our reinsurance contracts. We use net premiums written,
primarily in relation to gross premiums written, to measure the amount of
business retained after cession to reinsurers.

         GROSS PREMIUMS EARNED. Gross premiums earned represent that portion of
gross premiums written equal to the expired portion of the time for which the
insurance policy was in effect during the financial year. For each day a
one-year policy is in force, we earn 1/365th of the annual premium.

         NET PREMIUMS EARNED. Net premiums earned represents that portion of net
premiums written equal to the expired portion of the time for which the
insurance policy was in effect during the financial year and is recognized as
revenue. It represents the portion of premium that belongs to us on the part of
the policy period that has passed and for which coverage has been provided. Net
premium earned is used to calculate the net loss, net expense and dividend
ratios, as indicated below.

         NET LOSS RATIO. The net loss ratio is a measure of the underwriting
profitability of an insurance company's business. Expressed as a percentage,
this is the ratio of net losses and LAE incurred to net premiums earned.

         Like many insurance companies, we analyze our loss ratios on a calendar
year basis and on an accident year basis. A calendar year loss ratio is
calculated by dividing the losses and LAE incurred during the calendar year,
regardless of when the underlying insured event occurred, by the premiums earned
during that calendar year. The calendar year net loss ratio includes changes
made during the calendar year in reserves for losses and LAE established for
insured events occurring in all prior periods. A calendar year net loss ratio is
calculated using premiums and losses and LAE that are net of amounts ceded to
reinsurers.

         An accident year loss ratio is calculated by dividing the losses and
LAE, regardless of when such losses and LAE are incurred, for insured events
that occurred during a particular year by the premiums earned for that year. An
accident year net loss ratio is calculated using premiums and losses and LAE
that are net of amounts ceded to reinsurers. An accident year loss ratio for a
particular year can decrease or increase when recalculated in subsequent periods
as the reserves established for insured events occurring during that year
develop favorably or unfavorably, respectively, whereas the calendar year loss
ratio for a particular year will not change in future periods. This ratio is an
operating ratio based on our statutory financial statements and is not derived
from our GAAP financial information.

         We analyze our calendar year loss ratio to measure our profitability in
a particular year and to evaluate the adequacy of our premium rates charged in a
particular year to cover expected losses and LAE from all periods, including
development (whether favorable or unfavorable) of reserves established in prior
periods. In contrast, we analyze our accident year loss ratios to evaluate our
underwriting performance and the adequacy of the premium rates we charged in a
particular year in relation to ultimate losses and LAE from insured events
occurring during that year.

         While calendar year loss ratios are useful in measuring our
profitability, we believe that accident year loss ratios are more useful in
evaluating our underwriting performance for any particular year because an
accident year loss ratio better matches premium and loss information.
Furthermore, accident year loss ratios are not distorted by adjustments to
reserves established for insured events that occurred in other periods, which
may be influenced by factors that are not generally applicable to all years. The
loss ratios provided are calendar year loss ratios, except where they are
expressly identified as accident year loss ratios.

         POLICY ACQUISITION EXPENSE RATIO. The policy acquisition expense ratio
is a measure of an insurance company's operational efficiency in producing and
underwriting its business. Expressed as a percentage, this is the ratio of
premium acquisition expenses to net premiums earned.

         UNDERWRITING AND OTHER EXPENSE RATIO. The underwriting and other
expense ratio is a measure of an insurance company's operational efficiency in
administering its business. Expressed as a percentage, this is the ratio of
underwriting and other expenses to net premiums earned. For underwriting and
other expense ratio purposes, underwriting and other expenses of an insurance
company exclude investment expenses and dividends to policyholders.

         DIVIDEND RATIO. The dividends to policyholders ratio equals policy
dividends incurred in the current year divided by net premiums earned for the
year.

         NET COMBINED RATIO. The net combined ratio is a measure of an insurance
company's overall underwriting profit. This is the sum of the net loss, net
expense and dividend ratios. If the net combined ratio is at or above 100, an
insurance company cannot be profitable without investment income, and may not be
profitable if investment income is insufficient.

         RETURN ON EQUITY. This percentage is the sum of return on equity (ROE)
from underwriting, ROE from investing, the ROE impact of debt and ROE from other
income, multiplied by one minus the effective tax rate. ROE from underwriting is
calculated as one minus the combined ratio, representing our underwriting profit
percentage, multiplied by our operating leverage (annualized net premiums earned
divided by average equity). ROE from investing is calculated by multiplying the
investment yield for the period by our investment leverage (average investments
divided by average equity). The ROE impact of debt is calculated by multiplying
the effective interest rate on debt for the period by our financial leverage
(average debt divided by average equity). We use return on equity to measure our
growth and profitability. We can compare our return on equity to that of other
companies in our industry to see how we are performing compared to our
competition.

         PREMIUMS WRITTEN decreased 1.3% to $65.1 million for the three months
ending September 30, 2006 from $65.9 MILLION in the comparable period in 2005.
This decrease is due to direct premiums written decreasing 1.1% to $63.4 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $64.0 million in the
comparable period in 2005. This decrease is the result of reunderwriting some of
our book of business in select states, the 13.5% rate reduction in Florida and
increased competition in some of our markets.

         Gross Premiums written increased 2.4% to $219.1 million for the nine
months ending September 30, 2006 from $214.1 million in the comparable period in
2005. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 direct premiums written
increased 2.4% to $213.4 million from $208.4 million in the comparable period in
2005. Texas contributed to the comparable period increase with a $4.0 million
increase in direct premiums written for the first nine months of 2006 compared
to the same period in 2005, Wisconsin had a $3.6 million increase and Illinois
and North Carolina each had a $2.3 million increases. These increases were
offset by decreases of $5.7 million in Indiana and $2.4 million in Tennessee.
Florida direct written premiums for the nine months ended September 30, 2006,
which represent approximately 40% of the total direct written premiums, remained
relatively flat despite a 13.5% rate decrease in Florida during 2006. We were
able to maintain Florida premiums levels despite the rate decrease as a result
of an increase in the number of Florida policies in-force as well as payroll
increases at September 30, 2006 as compared to September 30, 2005. Net premiums
written increased 2.2%, which is slightly less than direct premiums written
between the first nine months of 2006 and the comparable period of 2005 due to
$0.4 in reinstatement premiums booked on the 2003 excess of loss treaty.

         PREMIUMS EARNED. Net premiums earned increased $2.4 million, or 3.7%,
to $68.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $65.7
million for the comparable period in 2005. The increase in net premiums earned
is attributed to the reduction of the excess-of-loss reinsurance contractual
rate of 4.5% of direct premiums in 2005 compared to the excess-of-loss
reinsurance contractual rate of 3.2% in 2006. The rate decrease in the excess of
loss reinsurance is due to the elimination of ceding commission on the contract
in 2006.

         For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, net premiums earned
increased $11.7 million, or 6.1%, to $202.5 million from $190.8 million for the
comparable period in 2005. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005,
earned premiums ceded to quota share reinsurance were $7.3 million. During the
nine months ended September 30, 2006, earned premiums ceded on quota share
reinsurance were less than $0.1 million as a result of premium adjustments for
policy years prior to 2004. The table below sets forth the calculation of net
premiums earned and this amount as a percentage of gross premiums earned:

         NET INVESTMENT INCOME increased by $1.9 million or 73.7% for the three
months ended September 30, 2006 over the comparable period in 2005. The increase
in investment income is a result of two factors. First, the yield to maturity
increased to 5.2% as of September 30, 2006 from 4.7% as of September 30, 2005.
Second, our investment portfolio increased as a result of net proceeds from the


                                       24



initial public offering and cash generated from operations that were invested.
At September 30, 2006, the investment portfolio increased $95.9 million over
September 30, 2005.

         For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, net investment income
increased $5.1 million or 67.3%. At September 30, 2006, the investment portfolio
increased $84.0 million over December 31, 2005. The increase was comprised of
purchases, net of sales and maturities, of $85.7 million, offset by realized and
unrealized losses and amortization of purchase premium of $1.7 million. The
additional funds available for investment were provided by $48.0 million of net
initial public offering proceeds and $43.9 million in net cash provided from
operating activities.

         NET REALIZED (LOSS) GAIN was ($0.1) million for the three months ended
September 30, 2006, compared to $0.1 million for the comparable period in 2005.
Net realized loss was ($0.3) for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, and
($0.3) million for the comparable period in 2005. Two securities were disposed
of at a loss and no impairments were recognized during the three months ended
September 30, 2006.

         LOSSES AND LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSES were $41.2 million, or 60.5% of net
premiums earned, for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to
$38.7 million or 58.9% of net premiums earned for the comparable period in 2005.
As of September 30, 2006, the current accident year loss ratio was reduced to
63.6% of net earned premiums excluding the involuntary pool and the unallocated
loss adjustment expense ("ULAE") from 64.1% at June 30, 2006. Contributing to
the lower current accident year loss ratio was Texas with a 40.1% net accident
year loss ratio, compared to 48.4% as of June 30, 2006, and Indiana with a 77.4%
net accident year loss ratio, compared to 83.6% as of June 30, 2006. ULAE was
3.7% of net earned premium for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and
3.6% for the comparable period in 2005.

         For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the net loss ratio was
58.9%, compared to 56.9% of net premiums earned in the comparable period in
2005. The change in estimate of ultimate losses from accident years prior to
2006 showed redundancies of $15.7 million, net of reinsurance, during the first
nine months of 2006 and is reflected in our losses and LAE. The change in
estimate of ultimate losses as of September 30, 2005 from accident years prior
to 2005 showed redundancies of $13.9 million, net of reinsurance, and is
reflected in our losses and LAE. The 2006 accident year loss ratio as of
September 30, 2006 was 66.6% compared to 64.2% for the 2005 accident year loss
ratio at September 30, 2005. Excluding ULAE and the NWCRP pool losses, our 2006
accident year net loss ratio was 63.6% as of September 30, 2006, compared to
62.0% for the 2005 accident year loss ratio as of September 30, 2005. The
comparable accident year loss ratios for Florida were 50.6% as of September 30,
2006 and 51.5% as of September 30, 2005.

         POLICY ACQUISITION EXPENSES were $11.1 million, or 16.3% of net
premiums earned, for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to
$16.3 million or 24.8% for the comparable period in 2005. Commissions have
increased by $1.1 million or 1.4% of net earned premiums to 10.3% for the three
months ending September 30, 2006, compared to 8.9% for the same period in 2005.
The increase is the result of receiving no ceding commission to offset
commission expense on the 2006 excess of loss treaty, compared to a 35%
commission received on the 2005 treaty. Premium tax expense has increased by
$0.1 million or 0.1% of net earned premium to 1.4% for the three months ending
September 30, 2006 from 1.3% for the comparable period in 2005. This is largely
due to a reduction in premium tax credits offsetting the premium tax expense in
2006 as a result of the Company's inability to utilize all the premium tax
credits generated. Assessments decreased $6.2 million or 1.7% of net earned
premium for the three months ending September 30, 2006 compared to 11.3% for the
same period in 2005. This is due in part to a 30% decrease in the South Carolina
Second Disability Trust fund rate during the third quarter of 2006, and a 90%
increase in the rate in the third quarter of 2005. Additionally, the rate used
for the 2005 premium assessment by the Florida Guarantee Fund assessment was
reduced to 0.5% from the original 2% accrued during 2005. The Florida Workers'
Compensation Insurance Guarantee Association reduced the rate on the 2005
premiums; however, it reserved the right to assess the 2005 premiums if any
solvencies require additional cash flow for the Association. No new insolvencies
have developed in Florida and as a result the accrual for the assessment on the
2005 premium has been reduced. The decrease in these assessments reduced our
policy acquisition expenses by $5.6 million during the quarter as compared to
the same quarter of prior year.

         For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, policy acquisition
expenses were $34.5 million or 17.0% of net earned premiums, compared to $38.6
million or 20.2% for the comparable period in 2005. Policy acquisition expenses
are recorded net of ceding commissions. In the first nine months of 2005, ceding
commission was $6.4 million which decreased the expense ratio by 3.4%. In 2006,


                                       25


ceding commission was reduced to $1.8 million due to the elimination of the
quota share and the elimination of ceding commission on the 2006 excess of loss
contract. This reduced the expense ratio by only 0.9% in nine months ended
September 30, 2006, compared to the same period in the prior year. Other
acquisition expenses as a percent of net earned premium decreased because of the
increase in net earned premium. Direct and assumed commissions for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006 represented 10.9% of net earned premium,
compared to 11.1% for the comparable period in 2005. Premium taxes represented
1.4% of net earned premium, compared to 1.9% for the comparable period in 2005.
Assessments represented 2.6% of net earned premium compared to 7.2% for the
comparable period in 2005. The general and administrative expenses associated
with the acquisition costs represented 3.2% of net earned premium, compared to
3.4% for the comparable period in 2005. This is primarily due to the increase in
net earned premium in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to
the same period in 2005.

UNDERWRITING AND OTHER EXPENSES increased as a percentage of net premiums earned
to 13.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from 12.7% for the
comparable period in 2005. Underwriting and other expenses increased to $9.4
million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $8.3 million in the
same period in 2005. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in
payroll related expenses. Payroll related expenses have increased in the current
year as a result of an increase in both head count and salaries.

         For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, underwriting and other
expenses increased to $27.2 million from $23.1 million in the same period in
2005. The increase is primarily from bad debt expense, which was $2.4 million
for the first nine months of 2006, and $0.9 million for the first nine months of
2005. This is the result of the allowance for doubtful accounts being adjusted
down during the first nine months of 2005 to recognize better collection
experience. We continue to experience the same collection experience during 2006
as 2005 and expect bad debt expense to remain at approximately 1% of net earned
premiums. Additionally, there was an increase in payroll related expenses as
noted above, and public company expenses increased for auditing, actuarial,
investor relations, Sarbanes Oxley compliance readiness and Directors and
Officers insurance. These increases were offset by decreases in other expenses
as we made more efficient use of our current infrastructure.

         DIVIDENDS TO POLICYHOLDERS increased $0.5 million, to $2.8 million or
4.1% of net earned premium during the three months ended September 30, 2006,
compared to $2.3 million or 3.5% for the comparable period in 2005. This is due
to an increase in the percentage of Florida premiums on dividend plans.

         The dividend expense increased $1.4 million, to $8.0 million or 4.0% of
net earned premium during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to
$6.6 million or 3.5% for the comparable period in 2005.The percent of written
premium on dividend plans increased in Wisconsin to 84.8% from 83.1% and in
Florida to 39.5% from 31.1%. The company wide direct premiums written on a
dividend plans increased to 26.7% during the nine months ended September 30,
2006 from 22.3% for the comparable period in 2005. Additionally, as a result of
our continued improved loss experience, dividends related to loss ratios
increased substantially in the first nine months of 2006.

         INTEREST EXPENSE increased 20.8% to $0.9 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005 which was $0.8
million. This was due to interest on the $32.0 million of surplus notes subject
to floating interest rates. The average rates have increased approximately 160
basis points from September 30, 2005 to September 30, 2006.

         Interest expense increased to $2.6 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006, compared to $2.2 million for the same period in 2005. The
average rate on the $32.0 million of surplus notes was approximately 9.6% at
September 30, 2006 compared to 8.0% as of September 30, 2005. The debt
outstanding has decreased by $1.3 million with the quarterly amortization of the
principal on the term loan.

         FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAXES were 39.9% and 35.2% of pretax income
for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2006. During the third
quarter, $0.3 million provision to return adjustment was booked. Excluding this
adjustment, the effective rates would have been 36.0% and 34.0%, respectively.
During the second quarter of 2006 the rate used on the federal deferred tax
asset was increased from 34% to 35% as we expect to be in a 35% federal tax
bracket when future tax assets are realized. During the second quarter of 2005
the state current tax effective rate was increased from 2.5% to 3.5%. This
increased the overall effective rate for the second quarter of 2005 to 42.6%.


                                       26


         The effective tax rate for 2006 includes a 35% federal tax rate. For
the nine months ended September 30, 2006 the effective state tax rate is 3.5%.
Florida is that state to which the highest percentage of our state income tax is
paid. The state of Florida's tax rate is 5.5%. We apportion our pretax income to
the State of Florida according to the State's apportionment factors. The federal
and state rates give us a combined tax rate of 37.3%, after giving effect to the
state income tax deduction in the federal income tax calculation. The tax exempt
interest we realized lowered our effective tax rate for 2006 by 2.9%. The
increase of the effective rate used in calculating the value of the deferred tax
asset reduced the effective rate further by 2.3% for the nine months ending
September 30, 2006. During the nine months ending September 30, 2005, the
blended state and federal tax rate of 37.3% was increased to 37.6% due to the
provision to return adjustment.

         NET INCOME for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $4.3
million compared to $1.6 million for the comparable period in 2005. Net premiums
earned increased by $2.4 million. Investment income increased $1.9 million for
the three months ending September 30, 2006 compared to September 30, 2005.
Additionally, policy acquisition expenses decreased $5.2 million. This was
partially offset by increases in our loss and loss adjustment expenses, and
underwriting and other expenses.

         Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased $3.2
million to $15.3 million compared to $12.1 million for the comparable period in
2005. Although the loss ratio and dividend ratio increased slightly, growth in
net revenues and a small decrease in the expense ratio contributed to greater
profitability for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same
period in 2005.

         RETURN ON EQUITY Our annualized return on equity for the nine months
ended September 30, 2006 is 19.7%.

RECENT DEVELOPMENT

         The National Council on Compensation Insurance ("NCCI") submitted its
annual workers' compensation rate filing to the Florida Office of Insurance
Regulation (the "Florida OIR"), which called for a statewide average 13.3% rate
decrease. Significant declines in claim frequency and an improvement in loss
development since the legislature enacted the 2003 reforms are the two main
reasons for the proposed premium level decrease. On October 17, 2006, the OIR
issued an order requesting that NCCI make an amended filing for an overall
workers' compensation rate decrease of 15.7%. On October 24, 2006, NCCI
submitted an amended filing calling for a statewide decrease of 15.7% as
requested, which was approved by the Florida OIR on October 31, 2006. The new
rates will apply to all new and renewal policies as of January 1, 2007. The
Company is currently unable to determine the exact impact this will have on
future earnings.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         We are a holding company and our insurance subsidiaries are the primary
source of funds for our operations. We have historically received dividend
payments solely from Pinnacle Administrative and Pinnacle Benefits. These
dividend payments are funded by fee payments under service agreements between
Pinnacle Administrative and Pinnacle Benefits and our insurance subsidiaries.
Fee payments under the service agreements are subject to review by the Florida
OIR, as are dividend payments by our insurance subsidiaries. There are no
restrictions on the payment of dividends by our non-insurance subsidiaries,
Pinnacle Administrative, Pinnacle Benefits and AmSERV, Inc., other than
customary state corporation laws regarding solvency. The cash requirements of
these non-insurance subsidiaries are primarily for the payment of salaries,
employee benefits and other operating expenses.

         LIQUIDITY

         The primary source of cash flow for Pinnacle Benefits and Pinnacle
Administrative is service fees paid by our insurance subsidiaries. Our insurance
subsidiaries' primary cash sources are insurance premiums, investment income and
the proceeds from the sale, redemption or maturity of invested assets. The cash
requirements of the insurance subsidiaries are primarily for the payment of
losses and LAE, guaranty fund and second-injury fund assessments, commissions,
reinsurance premiums, premium taxes, services fees, interest on surplus notes
and purchase of investment securities. We maintain cash reserves to meet our
obligations that comprise current outstanding loss and LAE, reinsurance premiums


                                       27


and administrative expenses. Due to the uncertainty regarding the timing and
amount of settlement of unpaid losses, the liquidity requirements of the
insurance subsidiaries vary. The insurance subsidiaries' investment guidelines
and investment portfolio take into account historical payout patterns. If loss
payments were to accelerate beyond our ability to fund them from current
operating cash flows, we would need to liquidate a portion of our investment
portfolio and/or arrange for financing. For example, several catastrophic
injuries occurring in a relatively short period of time could cause such a
liquidity strain. Our insurance subsidiaries have historically purchased excess
reinsurance to mitigate the effects of large losses and to help stabilize
liquidity. These reinsurance agreements require initial outlays of reinsurance
premiums, based on premiums written, which is in advance of our receipt of cash
premiums, and the reinsurers reimburse us after losses and LAE are paid by us.
These reinsurance agreements exclude coverage for losses arising out of
terrorism and nuclear, biological and chemical attacks.

         CAPITAL RESOURCES

         We have historically met our cash requirements and financed our growth
principally from operations, the proceeds of borrowings, investment income and
more recently the initial public offering completed February 10, 2006 for $48.0
million. Cash flow is summarized in the table below.

         REINSURANCE

         We have historically operated with a limited amount of capital and, as
a result, have made extensive use of the reinsurance market to maintain our net
exposures within our capital resources. We have ceded premiums and losses to
unaffiliated insurance companies under quota share, excess of loss and
catastrophe reinsurance agreements. We evaluate the financial condition of our
reinsurers and monitor various credit risks to minimize our exposure to losses
from reinsurer insolvencies. However, we remain obligated for amounts ceded
irrespective of whether the reinsurers meet their obligations. We ceded a high
percentage of our premiums and the associated losses prior to July 1, 2004. A
failure of one of our reinsurers to pay could have a significant adverse effect
on our capital and our financial condition and results of operations. At
September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, reinsurance recoverables on paid and
unpaid losses and LAE and ceding commissions were $74.6 million and $83.9
million, respectively. Our largest recoverable from a single reinsurer as of
September 30, 2006 was $40.2 million owed to us by Continental Casualty Company,
a subsidiary of CNA Financial Corporation, representing 29.5% of our total
stockholders' equity as of that date. Of the $40.2 million, $1.8 million was the
current recoverable on paid losses. The balance of $38.4 million is recoverable
from Continental Casualty Company on losses that may be paid by us in the future
and therefore is not currently due. The unpaid losses will become current as we
pay the related claimants.

         As a result of raising $32.0 million from surplus notes issued by one
of our insurance subsidiaries, we eliminated the need for quota share
reinsurance on new and renewal business since July 1, 2004. In addition, we
increased our retention in our excess of loss reinsurance program to $2.0
million in 2005 and 2006 from $1.0 million in 2004.

         INVESTMENTS

         Our insurance subsidiaries employ an investment strategy that
emphasizes asset quality to minimize the credit risk of our investment
portfolio. As economic conditions change, our insurance subsidiaries' investment
committees recommend strategy changes and adjustments to our investment
portfolio. We have maintained a high portion of our portfolio in short-term
investments recently to mitigate the risk of falling prices for fixed maturity


                                       28


securities if rates should rise. Changes in interest rates impact our investment
income and cause fluctuations in the carrying values of the majority of our
investments (these changes are reflected as changes in stockholders' equity).

         We may sell securities due to changes in the investment environment,
our expectation that fair value may deteriorate further, our desire to reduce
our exposure to an issuer or an industry and changes in the credit quality of
the security. In addition, depending on changes in prevailing interest rates,
our investment strategy may shift toward long-term securities, and we may adjust
that portion of our investment portfolio that is held-to-maturity rather than
available-for-sale. Except for recognizing other-than-temporary impairments, our
held to maturity portfolio is carried at amortized cost because we have the
ability and intent to hold those securities to maturity. As of September 30,
2006, 81.7% of our entire portfolio was classified as available-for-sale and as
of December 31, 2005, approximately 90.3% of our entire portfolio was classified
as available-for-sale.

         The amount and types of investments that may be made by our insurance
subsidiaries are regulated under the Florida Insurance Code and the rules and
regulations promulgated by the Florida OIR. As of September 30, 2006 and
December 31, 2005, our insurance subsidiaries' combined portfolio consisted
entirely of investment grade fixed-income securities. As of September 30, 2006,
our investments (excluding cash and cash equivalents) had an average duration of
3.7 years, and the bond portfolio was heavily weighted toward short- to
intermediate-term securities.

         Our insurance subsidiaries employ AmSouth Bank to act as their
independent investment advisor. AmSouth Bank follows the insurance subsidiaries'
written investment guidelines based upon strategies approved by our insurance
subsidiaries' board of directors. Our insurance subsidiaries have no investments
in common stock (other than AmCOMP Preferred's investment in AmCOMP Assurance
and certain institutional money market accounts), preferred stock, real estate,
asset-backed securities (other than mortgages) or derivative securities. AmSouth
Bank has discretion to enter into investment transactions within our insurance
subsidiaries' investment guidelines. In the case of sales of securities prior to
maturity or the acquisition of securities that differ from the types of
securities already present in the portfolio, AmSouth Bank routinely consults
with our insurance subsidiaries' executive officers, who report regularly to our
insurance subsidiaries' investment committees. AmSouth Bank's fee is based on
the amount of assets in the portfolio and is not dependent upon investment
results or portfolio turnover.

(1)      Carrying amount is amortized cost for bonds held-to-maturity and
         short-term investments. Carrying value is market value for bonds
         available-for-sale and common stock. As of September 30, 2006, $336.1
         million of our bonds were classified as available-for-sale and $75.4
         million were classified as held-to-maturity.

(2)      Standard & Poor's highest rating is "AAA" and signifies that a
         company's capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation
         is extremely strong, followed by "AA" (very strong), "A" (strong) and
         "BBB" (adequate). Ratings may be modified by the addition of a plus or
         minus sign to show relative standing within the major rating
         categories. Moody's Investors Service, Inc.'s highest rating is "Aaa"
         (best quality), followed by "Aa" (high quality), "A" (strong) and "Baa"
         (adequate). For investments with split ratings, the higher rating has
         been used.

         As of September 30, 2006, our bond portfolio had an average duration of
3.7 years.

         We continuously monitor our portfolio to preserve principal values
whenever possible. An investment in a fixed maturity security is impaired if its
fair value falls below its book value. All securities in an unrealized loss
position are reviewed to determine whether the impairment is
other-than-temporary. Factors considered in determining whether a decline is
considered to be other-than-temporary include length of time and the extent to
which fair value has been below book value, the financial condition and
near-term prospects of the issuer, and our ability and intent to hold the
security until its expected recovery.

         The following table summarizes, for all fixed maturity securities in an
unrealized loss position at September 30, 2006, the aggregate fair value and
gross unrealized loss by length of time the security has continuously been in an
unrealized loss position:

         At September 30, 2006, there were no investments in fixed maturity
securities with individual material unrealized losses. Three impairments
totaling approximately $199,000 were recorded on our investments during the nine
months ended September 30, 2006. All the unrealized losses on the fixed maturity
securities are interest rate related.

         We believe our future cash flow generated by operations, and our cash
and investment balances will be sufficient to fund continuing operations,
service our outstanding obligations and provide for required capital
expenditures for at least the next 12 months.

         LITIGATION

         Prior to 2001, no material amounts due from reinsurers were written off
as uncollectible, because most of our reinsurance was recoverable from large,
well-capitalized reinsurance companies. On October 3, 2001, the Commonwealth
Court of Pennsylvania approved an Order of Liquidation for Reliance Insurance
Company in response to a petition from the Pennsylvania Department of Insurance.
In 2001, we wrote off all balances due from Reliance. The write off resulted in
an increase in underwriting and other expenses of approximately $8.3 million. We
are continuing to pursue the collection of amounts recoverable from Reliance in
its liquidation proceeding.


                                       31


         AmCOMP and both of our insurance subsidiaries are defendants in an
action commenced in Florida by the Insurance Commissioner of Pennsylvania,
acting in its capacity as liquidator of Reliance Insurance Company. The
complaints in those actions allege that preferential payments were made to us by
Reliance under the formerly existing reinsurance agreement with the insurance
subsidiaries and seek damages in the amount of approximately $2.3 million. We
have answered the complaint and we expect the matter to be scheduled for trial.
We believe that we have multiple factual and legal defenses to the claim made in
this action, including a right of recoupment related to the statement of claim
filed by us in the Reliance liquidation proceeding for the recovery of
approximately $9.9 million under the reinsurance agreement. Although the
ultimate results of these legal actions and related claims cannot presently be
determined, the Company had accrued $1.2 million and $1.3 million as of
September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively, related to those
matters.

         OTHER

         In August 1998, in an effort to expand its customer base, AmCOMP
Assurance began selling insurance policies for a third party insurance company.
This arrangement included insurance policies with effective dates of August 1,
1998 through November 1, 2000. Pinnacle Administrative performed marketing,
underwriting, loss prevention and other administrative functions, and Pinnacle
Benefits provided claim adjusting services, including the payment of claims,
related to these policies. This arrangement also provided for a reinsurance
agreement between AmCOMP Assurance as the reinsurer and this insurance company
as the reinsured. At September 30, 2006, the amount to be recovered from this
insurance company on these claims and LAE expenses paid by us that is included
in other assets on the balance sheet was $1.6 million.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

         We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION

         The effects of inflation could impact our financial statements and
results of operations. Our estimates for losses and loss expenses include
assumptions about future payments for closure of claims and claims handling
expenses, such as medical treatments and litigation costs. To the extent
inflation causes these costs to increase above reserves established, we will be
required to increase reserves for losses and loss expenses with a corresponding
reduction in our earnings in the period in which the deficiency is identified.
We consider inflation in the reserving process by reviewing cost trends and our
historical reserving results. Additionally, an actuarial estimate of increased
costs is considered in setting adequate rates, especially as it relates to
medical and hospital rates where historical inflation rates have exceeded
general inflation rates. We are able to mitigate the effects of inflation on
medical costs due to the fee schedules imposed by most of the states where we do
business and the utilization of preferred provider networks. However, providers
are not obligated to invoice us per the fee schedule or the negotiated rate. We
review medical bills for appropriate coding and pay the lower of the negotiated
or fee schedule rate. Disputes are resolved by negotiation.

         Fluctuations in rates of inflation also influence interest rates, which
in turn impact the market value of our investment portfolio and yields on new
investments. Operating expenses, including payrolls, are impacted to a certain
degree by the inflation rate.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN
INCOME TAXES ("FIN 48"). This interpretation clarifies the accounting for
uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements
in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES. FIN 48
prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial
statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be
taken in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on
derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim
periods, disclosure, and transition. The Interpretation establishes a "more
likely than not" recognition threshold for tax benefits to be recognized in the
financial statements. The "more likely than not" determination is to be based
solely on the technical merits of the position. This interpretation will be
effective January 1, 2007 The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this
standard.


                                       32


         In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, FAIR VALUE
MEASUREMENTS ("SFAS 157"). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles,
and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement addresses
how to calculate fair value measurements required or permitted under other
accounting pronouncements. Accordingly, this statement does not require any new
fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this
statement will change current practice. SFAS No. 157 is effective for the
Company beginning January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact of this standard.

         In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 108, CONSIDERING THE EFFECTS OF PRIOR YEAR MISSTATEMENTS
WHEN QUANTIFYING MISSTATEMENTS IN CURRENT YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ("SAB 108").
SAB 108 provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or
reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a
current year misstatement. The Company will be required to adopt the provisions
of SAB 108 in its annual financial statements for fiscal year 2006 and is
currently evaluating the impact on its financial position and statements of
operations.

         Statement of Position ("SOP") 05-1, Accounting by Insurance Enterprises
for Deferred Acquisition Costs in Connection with Modifications or Exchanges of
Insurance Contracts, issued September 2005, becomes effective January 1, 2007.
SOP 05-1 provides guidance on accounting for deferred acquisition costs on
internal replacements of insurance and investment contracts other than those
specifically described in SFAS 97, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance
Enterprises for Certain Long-Duration Contracts and for Realized Gains and
Losses from the Sale of Investments. The SOP defines an internal replacement as
a modification in product benefits, features, rights, or coverage that occurs by
the exchange of a contract for a new contract, or by amendment, endorsement, or
rider to a contract, or by the election of a feature or coverage within a
contract. The Company does not anticipate a significant impact upon adoption.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

         We believe  we are  principally  exposed  to two types of market  risk:
interest rate risk and credit risk.

INTEREST RATE RISK

         INVESTMENTS. Our investment portfolio consists primarily of debt
securities, of which 81.7% were classified as available-for-sale as of September
30, 2006. The primary market risk exposure to our debt securities portfolio is
interest rate risk, which we strive to limit by managing duration. As of
September 30, 2006, our investments (excluding cash and cash equivalents) had an
average duration of 3.7 years. Interest rate risk includes the risk from
movements in the underlying market rate and in the credit spread of the
respective sectors of the debt securities held in our portfolio. The fair value
of our fixed maturity portfolio is directly impacted by changes in market
interest rates. As interest rates rise, the market value of our fixed-income
portfolio falls, and the converse is also true. We expect to manage interest
rate risk by instructing our investment manager to select investments consistent
with our investment strategy based on characteristics such as duration, yield,
credit risk and liquidity.

         CREDIT FACILITY AND THIRD PARTY SURPLUS NOTES. Our exposure to market
risk for changes in interest rates also relates to the interest expense of
variable rate debt under our bank credit facility and our insurance
subsidiaries' surplus notes issued to unaffiliated third parties. The interest
rates we pay on these obligations increase or decrease with changes in LIBOR.

SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS

         Sensitivity analysis is a measurement of potential loss in future
earnings, fair values or cash flows of market sensitive instruments resulting
from one or more selected hypothetical changes in interest rates and other
market rates or prices over a selected time. In our sensitivity analysis model,
we select a hypothetical change in market rates that reflects what we believe
are reasonably possible near-term changes in those rates. The term "near-term"
means a period of time going forward up to one year from the date of the
condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results may differ from the
hypothetical change in market rates assumed in this disclosure, especially since
this sensitivity analysis does not reflect the results of any action that we may
take to mitigate such hypothetical losses in fair value.

         In this sensitivity analysis model, we use fair values to measure our
potential loss. The sensitivity analysis model includes fixed maturities and
short-term investments.

         For invested assets, we use modified duration modeling to calculate
changes in fair values. Durations on invested assets are adjusted for call, put,
and interest rate reset features. Durations on tax-exempt securities are
adjusted for the fact that the yield on such securities is less sensitive to
changes in interest rates compared to Treasury securities. Invested asset
portfolio durations are calculated on a market value weighted basis, including
accrued investment income, using holdings as of September 30, 2006.

         The following table summarizes the estimated change in fair value on
our fixed maturity portfolio including short-term investments based on specific
changes in interest rates as of September 30, 2006:

                                  Estimated Increase                 Estimated
                                  (Decrease) in Fair            Percentage Increase
Change in Interest Rates                Value                (Decrease) in Fair Value
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                 (Dollars in Thousands)
300 basis point rise                  $(38,673)                       (9.6%)
200 basis point rise                   (25,682)                       (6.4%)
100 basis point rise                   (12,545)                       (3.1%)
50 basis point decline                   5,693                         1.4%
100 basis point decline                 11,077                         2.8%


                                       34


         The sensitivity analysis model used by us produces a predicted pre-tax
loss in fair value of market-sensitive instruments of $12.5 million or 3.1%
based on a 100 basis point increase in interest rates as of September 30, 2006.
This loss amount only reflects the impact of an interest rate increase on the
fair value of our fixed maturities and short-term investments, which constituted
approximately 97.7% of our total invested assets as of September 30, 2006.

         Interest expense would also be affected by a hypothetical change in
interest rates. As of September 30, 2006 we had $38.7 million in variable rate
debt obligations. Assuming this amount remains constant, a hypothetical 100
basis point increase in interest rates would increase annual interest expense by
approximately $ 0.4 million, a 200 basis point increase would increase interest
expense by approximately $ 0.8 million and a 300 basis point increase would
increase interest expense by approximately $1.2 million.

         With respect to investment income, the most significant assessment of
the effects of hypothetical changes in interest rates on investment income would
be based on Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 91, ACCOUNTING FOR
NONREFUNDABLE FEES AND COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH ORIGINATING OR ACQUIRING LOANS AND
INITIAL DIRECT COSTS OF LEASES ("FAS 91"), issued by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board ("FASB"), which requires amortization adjustments for mortgage
backed securities. The rates at which the mortgages underlying mortgage backed
securities are prepaid, and therefore the average life of mortgage backed
securities, can vary depending on changes in interest rates (for example,
mortgages are prepaid faster and the average life of mortgage backed securities
falls when interest rates decline). The adjustments for changes in amortization,
which are based on revised average life assumptions, would have an impact on
investment income if a significant portion of our mortgage backed securities
holdings had been purchased at significant discounts or premiums to par value.
As of September 30, 2006, the par value of our mortgage backed securities
holdings was $83.4 million. This equates to an average price of 100.5% of par.
Since a majority of our mortgage backed securities were purchased at a premium
or discount that is significant as a percentage of par, a FAS 91 adjustment
could have a significant effect on investment income.

         However, given the current interest rate environment, which has
exhibited lower rates over the last few years, the possibility of additional
significant declines in interest rates such that prepayment speeds are
significantly impacted is unlikely. The mortgage backed securities portion of
the portfolio totaled approximately 20.3% of total investments as of September
30, 2006. Of this total, 100% was in agency pass through securities.

CREDIT RISK

         INVESTMENTS. Our debt securities portfolio is also exposed to credit
risk, which we attempt to manage through issuer and industry diversification. We
regularly monitor our overall investment results and review compliance with our
investment objectives and guidelines. Our investment guidelines include
limitations on the minimum rating of debt securities in our investment
portfolio, as well as restrictions on investments in debt securities of a single
issuer. As of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, all of the debt
securities in our portfolio were rated investment grade by the NAIC, Standard &
Poor's, Moody's and Fitch.

         REINSURANCE. We are subject to credit risk with respect to our
reinsurers. Although our reinsurers are liable to us to the extent we cede risk
to them, we are ultimately liable to our policyholders on all risks we have
reinsured. As a result, reinsurance agreements do not limit our ultimate
obligations to pay claims to policyholders and we may not recover claims made to
our reinsurers

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

         AmCOMP's management, with the participation of AmCOMP's Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of AmCOMP's
disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this report. In
connection with this evaluation management determined that a presentation error
had occurred in AmCOMP's financial statements previously filed for December 31,
2005 and the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006. The error was the
result of a book overdraft position being presented as a reduction of "cash and


                                       35


cash equivalents" rather than as an "other liability" and requires the
previously filed financial statements to be restated. As a result, management
has identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial
reporting and has concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures designed
for recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis,
information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or
submits under the Exchange Act and communicated to AmCOMP's management,
including AmCOMP's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure were not
effective as of September 30, 2006.


CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING.

         There have not been any changes in AmCOMP's internal control over
financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)
under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2006 to which
this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, AmCOMP's internal control over financial reporting.
Subsequent to September 30, 2006, additional internal control over financial
reporting procedures have been designed and implemented to address the material
weakness identified above.
