Exhibit 99.2
April 5, 2007
Dear Shareholders (and other friends) of AssuranceAmerica,
We are pleased to give you our results for January and February combined.
Premium production in our MGA/Carrier has now begun to pick up, coincident with our recent entry into new states such as Louisiana and Texas. Our pricing was increased in certain key markets in mid 2006, resulting in a slow down in premium growth as we moved into 1st Quarter 2007. We did achieve a record in February with over $11.0 million premium produced in our MGA/Carrier. We expect these trends will continue.
