Exhibit 99.1
August 20, 2007
Dear Shareholders (and friends) of AssuranceAmerica,
Our retail agency chain’s improvement plan has not yet taken effect to the degree we anticipate in the future. However, your MGA/Carrier’s growth is impressive and helped us gain consolidated top and bottom line increases over the same month of a year ago. Therefore, our consolidated revenue was up 12% and our pre-tax income after stock option expenses was up 106% in June.
Following is our report on our June and year-to-date results.
