SELECTED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
On September 7, 2007, Associated Industries Insurance Services, Inc. ("Associated") was acquired by AmTrust Financial Services, Inc. ("AmTrust"), pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 25, 2007, by and among AmTrust, Associated and the Sellers named therein. The agreement provided for a base purchase price of approximately $40.0 million. Pursuant to the agreement, certain offsets and adjustments were made whereby AmTrust withheld approximately $5.4 million of the purchase price from certain of the Sellers to pay off certain debts of Associated and certain Sellers. At the date of acquisition, $3.1 million of this amount was utilized to payoff the aforementioned debts. Additionally, Amtrust paid an additional $0.7 million related to debts of selling shareholders. AmTrust incurred approximately $0.6 million of transaction costs for a total purchase price of $39.0 million.
The following unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial information consolidates the historical consolidated statements of income and consolidated balance sheet of AmTrust and the historical consolidated statements of income and consolidated balance sheet of Associated. Those historical financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial information has been prepared using the assumptions described in the notes thereto.
The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial information below should be read in conjunction with the notes thereto and the historical consolidated financial statements of Associated, as well as in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements of AmTrust included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2007. This unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations of the consolidated company that would have actually occurred had the acquisition been effective during the periods presented or of the future financial position or future results of operations of the consolidated company. The consolidated financial information as June 30, 2007 and for the periods presented may have been different had the companies actually been consolidated as of that date or during those periods due to, among other factors, possible revenue enhancements, expense efficiencies and integration costs. Additionally, as discussed in Note 1, the actual allocation of the purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities may vary materially from the assumptions used in preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial information.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Pro Forma Financial Statements
1. | BASIS OF PRESENTATATION |
The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial information gives effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred on June 30, 2007 for the purposes of the unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma balance sheet at June 30, 2007 and at January 1, 2006 for the purposes of the unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma statements of income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006. The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial information has been prepared by AmTrust’s management and is based on AmTrust's historical consolidated financial statements and Associated's historical consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared by Associated. Certain amounts from Associated's historical consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the AmTrust presentation.
This unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial information is prepared in conformity with GAAP. The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma balance sheet as of June 30, 2007 and the unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2006 and the six months ended June 30, 2007 have been prepared using the following information:
| (a) | Unaudited historical consolidated financial statements of AmTrust as of June 30, 2007 and for the six months ended June 30, 2007; |
| (b) | Unaudited historical consolidated financial statements of Associated as of June 30, 2007 and for the six months ended June 30, 2007; |
| (c) | Audited historical consolidated financial statements of AmTrust for the year ended December 31, 2006; |

AmTrust Financial Services, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Pro Forma
Financial Statements (Continued)
The pro forma adjustments reflecting the acquisition of Associated under the purchase method of accounting are based on certain estimates and assumptions. The actual adjustments upon consummation of the acquisition and the allocation of the final purchase price of Associated will depend on a number of factors, including additional financial information available at such time, changes in values and changes in Associated's operating results between the date of preparation of this unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information and the effective date of the acquisition. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments and it is possible the differences may be material. AmTrust's management believes that its assumptions provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the transactions contemplated and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information.
The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial information does not include all the anticipated financial benefits or expenses from such items as expense efficiencies or revenue enhancements arising from the acquisition nor does the unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial information include restructuring and integration costs to be incurred by AmTrust. Interest expense, legal fees, director expenses, royalty fees to sellers and related party transactions have been eliminated as a consequence of the completion of the acquisition.
The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial information is not intended to reflect the results of operations or the financial position that would have resulted had the acquisition been affected on the dates indicated and if the companies had been managed as one entity. The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements of AmTrust included in AmTrust's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 and unaudited consolidated financial statements of AmTrust included in AmTrust's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2007, as well as the historical consolidated financial statements of Associated.
2. | PURCHASE PRICE CONSIDERATIONS |

Pursuant to the agreement, certain offsets and adjustments were made whereby AmTrust withheld approximately $5.4 million of the purchase price from certain of the Sellers to pay off certain debts of Associated and certain Sellers. At the date of acquisition, $3.1 million of this amount was utilized to payoff the aforementioned debts. Additionally, AmTrust paid an additional $0.7 million related to debts of selling shareholders. AmTrust incurred approximately $0.6 million of transaction costs for a total purchase price of approximately $39.0 million.

The pro forma adjustments to the Associated historical consolidated balance sheet in connection with the acquisition are described in Note 3. |
As discussed above, these pro forma adjustments are based on certain estimates and assumptions made as of the date of the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information. The actual adjustments will depend on changes in the estimated fair values of net balance sheet assets and operating results of Associated between June 30, 2007 and the effective date of the acquisition. AmTrust expects to make such adjustments at the effective date of the acquisition. These adjustments may be different from the adjustments made to prepare the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information and such differences may be material.

Of the $5.4 million withheld from the purchase price, AmTrust paid off $3.1 million of these liabilities at closing, which consisted of $2.8 million of the bank debt and $0.3 million for certain of the insurance policy loans (this amount represented the 50% owed by Amtrust as well as the 50% owed by the sellers resulting in a remaining liability of $3.7 million for insurance policy loans).
