ATLANTIC AMERICAN CORPORATION REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR END
RESULTS

ATLANTA, Georgia, March 29, 2007 - Atlantic American Corporation (Nasdaq- AAME) today announced net income for the year ended December 31, 2006 of $8.9 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $3.2 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2005. Total revenue for 2006 was $179.5 million, a 3.0% decline from 2005 total revenue of $185.1 million. Premiums during 2006 decreased $23.9 million, or 13.5%, to $153.7 million from 2005 premiums of $177.6 million. Premium decreases were attributable to the continued rationalization of the Company’s property & casualty business coupled with significant price and product competition in all lines of business. During the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2006, the Company reported net income of $3.0 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $4.1 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, during the same period in 2005. For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2006, total revenue increased 17.5% to $43.3 million from $36.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2005. Premiums for the fourth quarter of 2006 decreased 12.6% to $37.2 million compared to $42.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2005. The significant net loss in the quarter and year ended December 31, 2005 was attributable to a $10.7 million impairment charge which the Company recorded to reflect the write down of the value of its automotive sector investment holdings. Excluding consideration of realized investment gains (losses), pre-tax operating earnings for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $4.6 million, a 53.7% increase over 2005 pre-tax operating earnings of $3.0 million. Pre-tax operating earnings for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 were $2.2 million, a 33.0% decrease from the $3.3 million in the comparable quarter of 2005.

Commenting on the quarter and year, Hilton H. Howell, Jr., president and chief executive officer, stated, “2006 was a very successful year for Atlantic American in which we reported record pretax earnings. This was a great achievement considering that our results were negatively impacted by an extraordinary assessment from the Mississippi Windstorm Underwriting Association for hurricane Katrina in the second quarter. We have now completed our repositioning of our business away from hurricane prone areas and expect to conservatively grow our property and casualty premiums in less exposed areas. Our life and health operations have lost some premiums due to competition from the Medicare Advantage program sponsored by the Federal Government. We have been quite successful in expanding our association and special markets business and are optimistic for growth in this area in 2007.”
