                           REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2003
                           NET INCOME OF $2.7 MILLION

            BOARD APPROVES ADDITIONAL 1,000,000 SHARE REPURCHASE PLAN

                              SOUTHFIELD, MICHIGAN
                                 August 7, 2003

Second Quarter Results:

Meadowbrook Insurance Group (NYSE: MIG) reported net income for the quarter
ended June 30, 2003 of $2.7 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to
$122,000, or $0.01 per diluted share for the comparable period in 2002. The
increase in net income reflects higher fee-for-service revenue, a reduction in
interest expense, improvement in underwriting results, and overall expense
management.

"We are pleased by the progress we are making in improving profitability,"
commented Meadowbrook's President and Chief Executive Officer, Robert S. Cubbin.
"We remain on track with our plan to leverage fixed costs, maintain underwriting
discipline, and to focus on growing our profitable specialty program business."

During the second quarter of 2003, gross written premium increased $13.4
million, or 31.3%, to $56.2 million, from $42.8 million in the comparable period
in 2002. This increase reflects the anticipated growth from premium rate
increases, the conversion of existing controlled programs to the Company's own
insurance company subsidiaries, and new business resulting from the previously
announced renewal rights contract.

The gross written premium in 2002 was impacted by planned decreases to reduce
leverage ratios. The lower level of gross written premium in 2002 is now
reflected in lower net earned premium and revenue in the current quarter.

Revenues:

Revenues decreased $6.0 million, or 10.5%, to $51.5 million in the second
quarter of 2003, from $57.5 million for the comparable period in 2002.

Net earned premium decreased $8.1 million, or 18.2%, to $36.2 million in the
second quarter of 2003, from $44.3 million during the same period of 2002. This
decrease reflects the current effect from the prior year reduction in written
premium from programs previously discontinued. This decrease was partially
offset by controlled growth in new and existing programs.

Net commissions and fees increased $1.3 million, or 13.1%, to $11.3 million in
the second quarter of 2003, from $10.0 million during the same period of 2002.
This increase includes $4.0 million from new fee-for-service contracts and a
decrease in consolidated fees as the result of the conversion of an existing
fee-based program into an insured program within the Company's underwriting
subsidiary. This conversion causes the intercompany fees associated with the
program to now be eliminated upon consolidation.

Expenses:

Incurred losses decreased $6.5 million, or 21.3%, to $24.1 million in the second
quarter of 2003, from $30.6 million in the comparable period of 2002. The second
quarter 2003 loss and loss adjustment expense ratio was 71.1% compared to 72.6%
in the comparable period of 2002. This improvement in the loss ratio reflects
rate increases, the cancellation of the surplus relief treaty, and the absence
earned premium from discontinued programs. The 2003 second quarter net loss and
loss adjustment expense ratio was impacted by a loss of $1.0 million
(representing 2.8 percentage points) resulting from property damage caused by
storms in the Midwest during May 2003.

Commenting on the second quarter loss ratio, Mr. Cubbin stated: "Our business
fundamentals continue to improve and reserves from discontinued programs have
remained stable. Despite the net impact of $1.0 million in losses from the May
storms, we believe that we will meet our full year 2003 expectations. The
current accident year results are reflective of actual improvement
year-over-year and are a sound indication of the positive trends in our
continuing business."

Salaries and employee benefits for the second quarter of 2003 increased $2.6
million, or 28.5%, to $11.9 million, from $9.2 million in the second quarter of
2002, due primarily to increases in staff related to new fee-for-service
contracts.

Policy acquisition and other underwriting expenses decreased $4.9 million, or
45.3%, to $6.0 million in the second quarter of 2003, from $10.9 million in the
comparable period in 2002. The GAAP expense ratio was 35.3% in the second
quarter of 2003, compared to 35.8% in the second quarter of 2002. Reductions in
overall outside commission expense and the ability to leverage fixed costs had a
favorable impact in the second quarter of 2003.

Other administrative expenses decreased $0.8 million, or 12.6%, to $5.3 million
in the second quarter of 2003, from $6.1 million in the comparable period in
2002. This decrease is primarily the result of a change in accrued policyholder
dividends as a result of a reevaluation of the gross loss experience on
participating policies. This decrease was partially offset by administrative
expenses associated with new fee-for-service contracts.

Interest expense decreased $662,000, or 75.7%, to $212,000 in the second quarter
of 2003, from the comparable period in 2002. This reflects the decrease in the
average outstanding debt from $53.7 million in 2002, to $20.9 million in 2003. A
decline in the effective interest rate also had a favorable impact on interest
expense during the second quarter of 2003. At June 30, 2003, the Company's debt
to equity ratio was 10.8%, compared to 18.7% at December 31, 2002.

Cash flow from operations was $17.4 million for the second quarter of 2003,
compared to cash used in operations of $4.4 million in the same period of 2002.
The quarter's positive cash flow reflects an increase in earnings, growth in
written premium, and routine collections on reinsurance recoverables.

net income, share repurchases and unrealized appreciation of $2.1 million in the

(1) Both the loss and loss adjustment and expense ratios are calculated based
upon the unconsolidated insurance company operations. The supplemental
information contained on page 7 sets forth the intercompany fees, which are
eliminated in consolidation.

(2) While net operating income is a non-GAAP disclosure, management believes
this information is beneficial to reviewing the financial statements. Net
operating income is net income less realized gains (losses) net of taxes
associated with such gains (losses).

(1) Both the loss and loss adjustment and expense ratios are calculated based
upon the unconsolidated insurance company operations. The above table sets forth
the intercompany fees, which are eliminated in consolidation. The GAAP combined
ratio is the sum of the GAAP loss and loss adjustment expense ratio and the GAAP
expense ratio. The GAAP loss and loss adjustment expense ratio is the
unconsolidated net loss and loss adjustment expense in relation to net earned
premium. The GAAP expense ratio is the unconsolidated policy acquisition and
other underwriting expenses in relation to net earned premium.
