                           REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2004
                      NET OPERATING INCOME OF $3.3 MILLION

            EARNINGS PER DILUTED SHARE OF $0.11 UP FROM $0.09 IN 2003

                              SOUTHFIELD, MICHIGAN
                                   MAY 6, 2004

First Quarter Results:

Meadowbrook Insurance Group (NYSE: MIG) reported net operating income for the
quarter ended March 31, 2004 of $3.3 million, or $0.11 per diluted share,
compared to net operating income of $2.6 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in
2003. The improvement in net operating income reflects the increase of net
earned premium resulting from the controlled growth of premium in profitable
programs written in 2003, continued rate increases, growth in agency
commissions, and overall expense management.

"Our consistent and improving earnings pattern continues," commented Robert S.
Cubbin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Meadowbrook. "The net operating
income for the first quarter met our expectations and is in line with the full
year estimates outlined during the 2003 year-end review. Our management team
remains committed to maintaining underwriting discipline and is focused on
growing our profitable specialty program and fee-for-service businesses."

During the quarter, gross written premium increased $12.3 million, or 17.8%, to
$81.1 million from $68.8 million for the comparable period in 2003. This
increase reflects the anticipated growth from premium rate increases, the
conversion of existing controlled programs to the Company's underwriting
subsidiary, the growth of existing programs coupled with the implementation of
new programs with proven track records of profitability.

Revenues:

Revenues increased $20.2 million, or 45.5%, to $64.5 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 2004, from $44.3 million for the comparable period in 2003.

Net earned premium increased $22.3 million, or 81.5%, to $49.7 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 2004, from $27.4 million a year ago. This increase
reflects the earnings pattern of programs written in the last three quarters of
2003, which include the conversion of a controlled managed program to the

Company's insurance subsidiaries, the impact of the previously announced renewal
rights contract, the implementation of a public entity excess-liability program,
and the impact of an overall 13.6% rate increase achieved in 2003.

As anticipated, net commissions and fees decreased $2.1 million, or 15.5%, to
$11.3 million for the quarter. This decrease is primarily related to a reduction
of $2.4 million in net fees from a managed program. These fees are now
considered intercompany fees and, as such, are eliminated upon consolidation.
Gross commissions and fees, before consolidation, increased $642,000, or 3.0%,
to $22.0 million for the quarter.

Net investment income increased $244,000, or 7.3%, to $3.6 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 2004, from $3.4 million for the comparable period in
2003. Average invested assets increased $41.4 million, or 14.3%, to $331.1
million in 2004, from $289.6 million for the comparable period in 2003. The
increase in average invested assets reflects cash flows from underwriting
activities, growth in gross written premium during 2003 and 2004, and $9.7
million in net proceeds received in conjunction with the junior subordinated
debentures issued on September 30, 2003. This increase was partially offset by a
decrease in the average investment yield to 4.4%, compared to 4.6% for the
comparable period in 2003. The current pre-tax book yield is 4.2%. The decrease
in investment yield reflects accelerated prepayments on mortgage-backed
securities and reinvestment of cash flows in municipal bonds and other
securities in an interest rate environment where macro interest rates are still
relatively low.

Expenses:

Incurred losses increased $15.3 million, or 89.2%, to $32.5 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 2004, from $17.2 million for the comparable period in
2003. The loss and loss adjustment expense ratio for the quarter ended March 31,
2004 was 70.2%, compared to 69.0% for the comparable period in 2003. The
increase in the loss ratio reflects the impact of a $1.8 million increase in net
ultimate loss estimates on prior accident years. This change relates to two
specific claims in older accident years and a re-estimate of the ultimate losses
in two single state programs. This increase in net ultimate loss estimates on
prior accident years equals 0.9% of the Company's net loss and loss adjustment
expense reserves of $192.0 million as of December 31, 2003 and was partially
offset by continued rate increases and the growth of earned premium from
profitable programs.

Commenting on the calendar year loss ratio, Mr. Cubbin stated: "We remain
focused on the fundamentals of our business. Prior year reserves have remained
relatively stable. The current accident year results reflect year-over-year
improvement and are consistent with our expectations."

Salaries and employee benefits for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 increased
$876,000, or 7.3%, to $12.8 million, from $11.9 million for the comparable
period in 2003, due primarily to merit increases and performance-based variable
compensation. These increases were partially offset by a slight decrease in
staffing levels.

Policy acquisition and other underwriting expenses increased $3.8 million, or
101.3%, to $7.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, from $3.8 million
for the comparable period in 2003. The GAAP expense ratio was 31.8% for the
quarter ended March 31, 2004, compared to 36.5% for the quarter ended March 31,
2003. The decrease in the expense ratio reflects an overall improvement in gross
commissions in relation to an increased net earned premium base and a decrease
in insurance related assessments.

Other administrative expenses decreased $456,000, or 6.4%, to $6.6 million for
the quarter ended March 31, 2004, from $7.1 million for the comparable period in
2003. This decrease is primarily attributable to a reduction in bad debt expense
which was partially offset by an increase in accrued policyholder dividends.

Interest expense increased $78,000, or 32.9%, to $315,000 for the quarter, from
$237,000 for the comparable period in 2003. Interest expense increased $136,000
related to the junior subordinated debentures that were issued on September 30,
2003. Partially offsetting this increase was a reduction in interest expense of
$58,000, or 24.5%, to $179,000 in the first quarter of 2004 from $237,000 for
the comparable period in 2003, associated with the Company's term loan and line
of credit. This decrease reflects a lower average outstanding balance of $17.6
million during the quarter ended March 31, 2004, from $26.8 million for the
comparable period in 2003 and an increase in the effective interest rate from
3.5% for the first quarter of 2003, to 4.1% for the comparable period of 2004.
The increase in the effective interest rate is a result of the increase in the
underlying Eurocurrency based rate. At March 31, 2004, the Company's
debt-to-equity ratio was 14.4%, compared to 15.7% at December 31, 2003.

Other Matters:

Shareholders' equity increased to $160.3 million, or $5.52 per common share, at
March 31, 2004, compared to $155.1 million, or $5.34 per common share, at
December 31, 2003. The increase in shareholders' equity reflects year-to-date
net income and unrealized appreciation of $1.8 million in the Company's
investment portfolio.

On April 29, 2004, the Company issued $13.0 million of senior notes to an
institutional investor in a pooled transaction. The Company received a total of
$12.6 million in net proceeds, after the deduction of approximately $390,000 of
issuance costs associated with the notes. The notes have a floating rate equal
to the three-month LIBOR, plus 4.0%, and mature in 30 years. The proceeds will
be used to support future premium growth through contributions to the surplus of
its insurance company subsidiaries and other general corporate purposes.

Statutory surplus decreased in the quarter to $98.4 million at March 31, 2004
from $99.9 million at December 31, 2003. This decrease is primarily the result
of the growth in written premium and the up-front expensing of acquisition
costs.

Cash flow provided by operations was $16.2 million for the quarter ended March
31, 2004, compared to $12.8 million in 2003. This increase in positive cash flow
primarily reflects growth in written premium and increased earnings.

(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 6 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.
