KINGSWAY FINANCIAL SERVICES ANNOUNCES TENDER OFFER TO ACQUIRE AMERICAN COUNTRY

  TORONTO, ONTARIO (FEBRUARY 27, 2002)--Kingsway Financial Services Inc.
(TSE:KFS, NYSE:KFS) announced today that it has begun a tender offer to
purchase all of the issued and outstanding Common Stock and Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock and all Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrants of
American Country Holdings Inc. ("American Country"). The consideration being
offered in the tender offer is U.S $2.10 for each share of Common Stock, U.S.
$12 for each share of Preferred Stock (plus an amount to reflect the value of
accrued dividends at expiration of the offer) and U.S. $0.175 for each Class A
Common Stock Purchase Warrant, in each case net to the seller in cash.

  Based on the U.S. $1.38 closing price of the American Country Common Stock
on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market on February 19th, 2002, the last day on which
the American Country Common Stock traded, the offer represents a 52% premium
to this price. "Although the Board of American Country has not approved this
offer or otherwise commented on it as of this date, we believe that the Offer
represents full and fair value to the American Country shareholders and
encourage American Country shareholders to tender into the Offer", said
William G. Star, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Kingsway.
The Offer expires at 12:00 midnight (New York City time), on Monday, April 1,
2002.

  The offer is conditioned upon, among other things (1) the tender of common
and preferred stock representing, together with shares already owned by
Kingsway and its subsidiaries, at least the majority of the total voting stock
of American Country, (2) Kingsway being satisfied in its sole discretion that
the restrictions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law would
not apply to Kingsway in connection with the offer, and (3) the receipt of any
required insurance regulatory approvals, including that of the Illinois
Director of Insurance. If the conditions to the offer are met and Kingsway
accepts the tendered securities for payment, Kingsway expects that the offer
will be followed by a merger or similar transaction at the same price. The
offer is not conditioned on financing.

  According to American Country's most recently publicly filed reports, there
were approximately 9.6 million shares of common stock outstanding and there
were 305,000 preferred shares outstanding (convertible into 1,742,855 common
shares). The preferred shares vote together with the common shares on an as-
converted basis. Kingsway beneficially owns approximately 555,500 shares of
common stock and 100,000 shares (convertible into 571,429 common shares) of
preferred stock of American Country.

  In connection with the offer, Advest, Inc. has been retained as the Dealer
Manager and Mellon Investor Services LLC as the Information Agent. Kingsway
Financial Services Inc. is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and New York
Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "KFS'. The common shares of American
Country are listed and principally traded on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market under
the trading symbol "ACHI'.
