ATLANTA, GEORGIA --- December 9, 2005

Atlanta based ASSURANCEAMERICA CORPORATION (OTC BB: ASAM.OB), today announced
its financial results for October 2005 and the ten months ended October 31,
2005.

Revenues for October '05 increased 79% to $3.6 million, compared to $2.0 million
for October '04. Pretax earnings and net income (which were the same) increased
466% for October of 2005 to $197,000, compared to a loss of $54,000 in October
of 2004.

Revenues for the ten months of 2005 increased 48% to $29.5 million, compared
with $20.0 million for the same period of 2004. The Company increased pretax
earnings and net income 1,263% for the first ten months of 2005 to $2.0 million,
compared with a loss of $175,000, in the same period last year.

Total controlled premium (a non-GAAP financial measure), which includes gross
written premium in the Carrier/MGA's underwriting operations plus premiums for
policies sold in the retail Agency subsidiary, increased 64% from October of
2004 to $9.7 million for October of 2005. Total controlled premium increased 41%
to $91.6 million for the ten months of 2005 from the comparable 2004 period.
Total controlled premium is used as the primary measure of the underlying growth
of the Company's revenue streams from period to period.

In announcing October results, Lawrence (Bud) Stumbaugh, President and CEO of
AssuranceAmerica Corporation said, "We believe in steadfast and on-going growth
of our top and bottom lines, not just the thrill of one or two peak months.
Thus, our tenth straight month of record numbers is especially gratifying.
However, we view ten months as only a beginning, and understand our commitment
must be to consistency and steady progress in future months as well."
