      BROOKE CREDIT CORPORATION ANNOUNCES SELECTED RESULTS FOR OCTOBER 2005

OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Nov. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Michael Lowry, President
of Brooke Credit Corporation, the finance subsidiary of Brooke Corporation
(Nasdaq: BXXX), announced selected October 2005 results.

Lowry announced that loan portfolio balances for Brooke Credit Corporation on
October 31, 2005, totaled approximately $264,000,000 as compared to loan
portfolio balances of approximately $260,000,000 on September 30, 2005, and
approximately $251,000,000 on August 31, 2005. The loan portfolio is comprised
of outstanding loans either held in inventory or sold with retained servicing
rights.

Lowry also announced that, during October, Brooke Credit Corporation received
net interest and servicing income of approximately $1,096,000 and incurred
operating interest expense of approximately $234,000. To help put these October
results into perspective, Lowry noted that, during the preceding 12 months, the
monthly average of net interest and servicing income totaled approximately
$758,000 and the monthly average of operating interest expense totaled
approximately $134,000.

Lowry also announced that, during October, Brooke Credit Corporation incurred a
loss on loan sale activities of approximately $109,000. The Company typically
experiences a loss on loan sales activities when the monthly write-down of
retained interest asset to fair market value on previously sold loans exceeds
the gains from new loan sales activities within a given month. When gains from
new loan sales exceed such write-down in a month, as typically occurs in months
in which loans are sold through a securitization, a gain on sales occurs for the
month. To help observers put the October loss on loan sale activities into
perspective, Lowry noted that, during the preceding 12 months, the monthly
average of gain on loan sale revenues totaled approximately $267,000.

All results included within this press release exclude portfolio balances and
revenues derived from lending activities with parent and sister companies.
