	    Attention Business/Financial Editors:
	    Kingsway Reports Second Quarter Loss and Provides Transformation Update

	    TORONTO, Aug. 7 /CNW/ - Kingsway Financial Services Inc. (TSX/NYSE: KFS,
"Kingsway", or "the Company") today announced its financial results for the
second quarter ended June 30, 2009. It also announced changes to the Board of
Directors and provided shareholders with an update on its company-wide
transformation. The Company reported a net loss of $38.4 million or ($0.70)
per share diluted, compared with a net income of $6.3 million or $0.11 per
share diluted in the second quarter of 2008. The loss reflects the adverse
development in run-off businesses, transition costs, a significant drop in
revenue from discontinued and run-off businesses, a reduced return on
investments and several one-time charges. All amounts are in U.S. dollars
unless indicated otherwise.
	    "The second quarter's poor financial results reflect the legacy of past
business strategies and practices that we are rapidly eliminating or changing
through our ongoing transformation work," said Mr. Simpson. "Since being
appointed to the role of CEO early in the second quarter, I have restructured
the senior management team to get the right talent in key roles and taken
steps to put the company back on a solid financial footing. The team has
reached out to regulators to explain the new directions we're taking and seek
their support. We believe the Kingsway that emerges from the transformation -
considerably streamlined, with less complexity, and with strengthened
relationships with key stakeholders - will succeed, over time, in delivering
solid results to shareholders."

	    Actions taken in the second quarter:

	    <<
	    -  Appointed Daniel Brazier to the role of interim Chief Financial
	       Officer in May 2009, with a mandate to closely examine all accounting
	       practices with fresh eyes, rigour and discipline. Dan brings
	       significant experience in strategy development, business
	       transformation and financial re-engineering to the task. Under Dan's
	       guidance, the Company accelerated plans to restore financial stability
	       by

	          -  Launching a debt buy-back plan through a structured Capital
	             Initiative

	          -  Recapitalizing the core operating units by repatriating funds
	             currently committed to reinsurance subsidiaries. As of June 30,
	             2009, both our Canadian subsidiaries had an MCT of over 200,
	             and our U.S subsidiaries (with the exception of Lincoln General
	             Insurance Company - "Lincoln General") had an RBC in excess of
	             200 - above minimum stautory capital requirements.  The
	             repatriation of funds will further strengthen the capital
	             positions of these operations and should enable us to continue
	             with additional debt or share purchases

	          -  Continuing to seek and leverage cost reduction opportunities

	       -  Appointed Scott Wollney, previously announced as Chief Executive
	          Officer of U.S. Commercial Lines, to head the consolidated
	          operations for Kingsway in the U.S.

	       -  Charged Roberto Espin, Chief Executive Officer of Hamilton Risk
	          Management, with a new mandate to expand this successful Miami-
	          based business

	       -  Secured acceptance by the Pennsylvania Department of Insurance of
	          Kingsway's plan for Lincoln General, on May 28, 2009.  This
	          voluntary process provides for a solvent and orderly run-off of
	          the Lincoln General business, including efficient resolution and
	          payment of all policy-related and other obligations. Appointed
	          external senior run-off management experts to the Lincoln General
	          management team and board to ensure the successful execution of
	          the plan

	       -  Met with U.S. regulators to underscore the Company's commitment to
	          addressing outstanding issues as well as improving service and
	          claims handling. Continued to build key relationships with
	          regulators, advisors and ratings agencies

	       -  Largely completed the process of aligning the employee population
	          in the U.S. with the new operating model, applying a disciplined
	          and rigorous approach to getting people with the right skills and
	          experience in the right roles to drive a successful turnaround of
	          the business

	       -  Consolidated support functions (human resources, information
	          technology, corporate legal) across the organization to reduce
	          duplication and eliminate unnecessary cost

	       -  Further reduced staffing levels by a total of 165 in the quarter
	          across the Company

	       -  Achieved $14 million or 40.2% of the 2009 expense savings target of
	          $34.8 million, while incurring approximately $10 million in
	          transition costs.

	    As a result of this quarter's progress, the Company is ahead of plan on
	    a number of key deliverables, and on track to achieve an annualized
	    savings run-rate of $120 million by year-end 2010:

	      -  By accelerating execution of the transformation strategy, the
	         Company has already succeeded in achieving 97% or $33.7 million of
	         the previously disclosed $34.8 million savings target for 2009:

	          -  Savings related to workforce reductions stand at $21.9 million,
	             more than double the $10m savings target for 2009;

	          -  As part of the claims improvement initiative, the Company
	             completed an extensive review of the claims handling process.
	             Execution is in the early stages and will take some time to
	             complete.

	       -  Year to date, the Company has achieved more than 60% (610) of the
	          1,000 total position eliminations targeted to be complete by the
	          end of 2010. Approximately 400 of these reductions were in U.S.
	          operations and 200 in Canada.

	       -  The Company remains on target to incur $15-20 million in transition
	          costs. One-time costs of $12.9 million have been incurred to date.

	    The Company further announced that Colin Simpson, Kingsway's President
	    and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), is joining the Board of Directors,
	    effective August 6, 2009.  Mr. Simpson replaces William Andrus, who
	    resigned effective August 1, 2009.
	    >>

	    "Management and the Board of Directors are completely aligned and
unrelenting in our focus on execution," said Simpson. "The overarching
strategy has not changed: we are focusing on profitable core business, getting
the right infrastructure in place to support it, and reducing our cost base to
become more competitive in the marketplace. We will continue to evaluate and
refine the details of the plan as business conditions shift to ensure we meet
our objectives of returning the Company to financial stability, restoring
shareholder value, and building a strong foundation for the future. While we
have made significant progress to date, it will take time for the positive
effects of many of these actions, such as our major business unit
consolidations, to be reflected in our financial results. We expect to
continue to gain momentum during the remainder of 2009 and throughout 2010."

	    Detailed Financial Results

	    This quarter's results reflect the businesses continuing under the
transformation plan and the businesses put in run-off. The result from
continuing business before restructuring, software write-offs and settlements
of lawsuits was a loss of $2.6 million for the quarter. The year-to-date
results from continuing businesses reflect a loss of $17.4 million.
	    As a direct result of our transformation plan, gross premiums written for
the Canadian operations decreased 25% in the quarter (25% year to date)
compared to the same periods last year. This results from the Company's
execution of its plan to discontinue writing unprofitable lines of business
within its commercial lines. U.S. operations reported a decrease in premiums
written of $44.4 million during the quarter (24% less than in Q2 2008) and
$74.0 million year to date (down 19% compared to the previous year), The
run-off business premium volume declined by $93.8 million in the quarter
($218.7 million year to date) compared to the same period last year due to the
majority of the business being placed into run-off in early 2009.
	    As a result of the Company re-focusing its efforts on its core profitable
business, non-standard automobile premiums for the six months to June 30, 2009
were $252.7 million or 50% of the total gross premiums written compared to 41%
in the same period of the prior year.
	    Adverse reserve development recorded in the quarter totaled $49.1 million
of which $36.2 million related to the run-off business, $3.6 million related
to the ongoing Canadian operations and $9.3 million to the ongoing U.S.
operations.
	    During the quarter, the Company decided to decommission computer software
that was not being fully utilized in the business.  As a result of this
decision, the amortization of the software for the quarter was increased by
$2.0 million and in addition, $3.2 million of prepaid expenses relating to
computer software were written off and included in general and administrative
expenses.
	    The Company has incurred restructuring costs of $10.0 million in the
quarter ($12.9 million year to date). Of the total restructuring costs,
severance costs associated with the Company's corporate restructuring accounts
for $6.1 million in the quarter ($8.1 million year to date).
	    Also included in expenses in the quarter is an additional allowance for
doubtful accounts of approximately $5.5 million primarily in Lincoln General.
	    Investment income, excluding net realized gains, was $29.1 million
compared to $32.7 million for the same quarter of 2008, an 11% decrease.
Included in net realized gains were adjustments to the carrying values of
securities for declines in market value considered other than temporary of
$3.3 million.
	    As at June 30, 2009 the securities portfolio did not include any
collateralized debt obligations nor any direct exposure to any asset backed
commercial paper. The securities portfolio has an exposure of approximately
$1.5 million to the sub-prime mortgage market in the U.S. through home equity
loan asset backed securities.
	    As at June 30, 2009 the book value per share was $6.67 compared to $8.24
as at December 31, 2008 and $15.49 at June 30, 2008.

	    Dividend

	    The Board of Directors has decided not to declare a quarterly dividend
for the second quarter of 2009.

	    Capital Initiative

	    The Board of Directors has delegated to the Capital Committee of the
Board the authority to repurchase debt of the Company up to a maximum of $40
million subject to an assessment of liquidity levels, market conditions and
any costs related to the unwinding of hedges and other related financial
instruments. The Company has issued two tenders. The first tender for a series
of affiliated debt closed on August 4, 2009 and 22.24% of the instruments were
tendered. The second tender for a direct bond issue remains open. To date
Kingsway has spent $8 million buying back debt under these tenders as well as
$6 million outside of these tenders.
	    The Company has also issued and recently expanded a Normal Course Issuer
Bid to repurchase up to 10% of its public float or approximately 5.5 million
shares. A portion of the $40 million allotment may be used for this latter
purpose.

	       for the Canadian operations decreased 25% in the quarter (25% year to

	       Plus program in Canada. U.S. operations reported a decrease in
	       premiums written of $44.4 million during the quarter (24% less than

	       gross premiums written compared to 41% in the same period of the
	       prior year.

	    -  Adverse reserve development recorded in the quarter totaled $49.1

	       prepaid expenses relating to computer software were written off and
	       included in general and administrative expenses.

	    -  The Company has incurred restructuring costs of $10.0 million in the
	       quarter ($12.9 million year to date) as a result of implementing the
	       transformation plan announced in the first quarter of 2009. Of the

	       professional service expense included in general and administrative
	       expenses.

	    -  Investment income, excluding net realized gains was $29.1 million
	       compared to $32.7 million for the same quarter of 2008, an 11%
	       decrease. Included in net realized gains were adjustments to the
	       carrying values of securities for declines in market value considered

	       quarter.

	    -  As at June 30, 2009, the securities portfolio did not include any
	       collateralized debt obligations nor any direct exposure to any asset
	       backed commercial paper. The securities portfolio has an exposure of
	       approximately $1.5 million to the sub-prime mortgage market in the
	       U.S. through home equity loan asset backed securities.

assess performance. Securities regulators require that companies caution
readers about non-GAAP financial measures that do not have a standardized
meaning under GAAP and are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures used
by other companies. Kingsway, like many insurance companies, analyzes
performance based on underwriting ratios such as combined, expense and loss
ratios. These terms are defined in the glossary of terms section beginning on
page 106 of the 2008 Annual Report. Although there is not a property and
casualty industry defined standard that is consistently applied in calculating
these ratios, Kingsway has historically included costs such as corporate
office expenses and excluded premium finance revenues whereas other public
companies have done otherwise in the calculation of their expense and combined
ratios. Readers are therefore cautioned when comparing Kingsway's combined
ratios to those of other public companies as they may not have been calculated
on a comparable basis.
	    The Company also uses securities portfolio per share information which is
calculated based on the fair value of the securities portfolio divided by the
number of issued and outstanding common shares. The Company uses operating
earnings which are calculated as income from continuing operations excluding
after-tax net realized gains and losses on securities and after tax gains on
redemption of senior notes to assess the profitability of its operations. A
reconciliation of net income to operating earnings is presented in the section
titled 'Operating Earnings'.

	    U.S. operations reported a decrease in premiums written of $44.4 million
(or 24%) during the quarter and $74.0 million (or 19%) year to date compared
with the same periods of the prior year. This decrease is a result of the
Company's decision to discontinue writing unprofitable lines of business
within its commercial and non-standard auto lines. The run-off business
premium volume declined by $93.8 million in the quarter ($218.7 million year
to date) compared to the same periods last year due to the majority of the
business being placed into run-off in early 2009. Non-standard automobile
premiums decreased 30% to $118.2 million for the quarter (28% to $252.7
million year to date) compared to the same periods of the prior year.
Excluding the run-off business, gross written premiums declined 25% in the
second quarter to $236.2 million (21% to $472.0 million year to date) compared
to the same periods last year.
	    Gross premiums written for the Canadian operations decreased 25% in the
quarter (25% year to date) compared to the same periods of the prior year.
This decrease is also the direct result of the Company's decision to
discontinue writing unprofitable lines of business within its commercial and
non-standard auto lines.
	    U.S. operations represented 56% of gross premiums written in the quarter
(63% year to date) compared with 44% in the same quarter (47% year to date)
last year. Non-standard automobile, trucking, and commercial automobile
premiums represented 50%, 6% and 14%, respectively, of gross premiums written
for the quarter compared with 41%, 16% and 16% for Q2 2008 reflecting the
decision to exit the trucking and some commercial lines business.

	    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
	    >>

	    Investment income decreased 11% to $29.1 million in the quarter (decr
eased 19% to $56.1 million year to date), compared to the same periods last
year, primarily due to a reduction in the size of the portfolio as a result of
reduced premium volumes due to certain lines of business being put into
voluntary run-off, the repayment of the Company's bank debt in the second half
of 2008 and the sale of York Fire in late 2008. Also contributing to the
decrease in investment income in the quarter are lower short-term yields on
the Canadian portfolio and a weaker Canadian dollar compared to the same
period last year which reduces the investment income earned by the Canadian
operations when reported in U.S. dollars. The cost based yield on the fixed
income portfolio decreased to 4.1% compared to 4.5% for the same quarter last
year (4.2% year to date compared to 4.6% for the same period in the prior
year). The cost based yield represents the total interest income before
expenses divided by the average amortized cost base of fixed income securities
held in the portfolio during the period.

	    Net Realized Gains (Losses)

	    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
	    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
	    >>

	    For the three months ended June 30, 2009, sales from the securities
portfolio and the write-down of securities that are considered to be other
than temporarily impaired resulted in a net realized loss of $0.7 million
($20.3 million year to date) compared to a net realized gain of $10.7 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2008 ($5.0 million year to date). Net
realized gains on the sale of fixed income securities amounted to $2.3 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2009 ($2.6 million year to date) compared
to a net realized gain of $2.1 million for the same period last year ($4.6
million year to date).
	    As was previously announced, the Company elected to dispose of virtually
all of its common share equities during the first quarter of 2009. In addition
to the $91.9 million impairment charge on the common share equity portfolio
taken in the fourth quarter of 2008, the liquidation resulted in a realized
loss of $18.2 million in the first quarter of 2009. The decision to liquidate
the equity portfolio has significantly reduced the number and value of
securities in an unrealized loss position and, consequently, the value of
securities considered to be other than temporarily impaired as at June 30,
2009. Also, contributing to the reduction in securities judged to be other
than temporary impaired is the sale by the Company during the quarter of
certain fixed income securities considered to be of a higher credit risk than
desired.

	    The Canadian operations experienced estimated unfavourable unpaid claims
development of $3.6 million for the quarter ($7.5 million year to date) or
4.8% to the Canadian operations combined ratio for the quarter (5.4% year to
date) compared to unfavourable unpaid claims development of $2.2 million for
the second quarter last year ($4.6 million year to date).
	    The U.S. operations experienced estimated net unfavourable unpaid claims
development of $9.3 million for the quarter ($6.5 million year to date) or
6.9% to the U.S. operations combined ratio for the quarter (2.2% year to date)
compared with estimated net favourable unpaid claims development of $3.9
million in the same quarter ($9.2 million year to date) last year.
	    The business in run-off business experienced estimated net unfavourable
unpaid claims development of $36.2 million for the quarter ($65.2 million year
to date) or 62.3% to the Run-off business combined ratio for the quarter
(52.2% year to date) compared with $7.7 million in the same quarter ($69.5
million year to date) last year.

	    Expenses

	    Overall, the expense ratio increased to 36.1% in the quarter (35.1% year
to date) compared to 33.9% for the same quarter (32.7% year to date) last
year. The increase in the general & administrative expense ratio is attributed
primarily to the disproportionate decrease in net premiums earned versus
general & administrative expenses. Net premiums earned decreased by 31.7% in
the quarter (31.5% year to date) compared to last year. Actual general and
administrative expenses decreased by $15.1 million from the second quarter
last year ($23.5 million year to date from the same period of the prior year)
as a result of lower administrative costs resulting from the execution of the
transformation plan and the receipt of $11.0 million in proceeds as the result
of the settlement of two lawsuits.
	    Amortization of intangibles increased in the quarter primarily due to
$2.0 million of accelerated amortization of computer software as a result of
the decision to decommission computer software not fully utilized in the
business.
	    The Company has incurred restructuring costs of $10.0 million in the
quarter ($12.9 million year to date) as a result of implementing the
transformation plan announced in the first quarter of 2009. Of the total
restructuring costs, severance costs associated with the Company's corporate
restructuring plan accounts for $6.1 million in the quarter ($8.1 million year
to date).

	    Interest Expense

	    Interest expense in the second quarter was $5.9 million ($12.2 million
year to date), compared to $8.9 million for the second quarter of 2008 ($18.8
million year to date) as a result of the repayment of all the short term bank
debt in 2008.

	    Gain on Buy-Back of Senior Notes

	    During the quarter Kingsway America Inc. purchased and cancelled $4.6
million face value of its senior unsecured debentures for $2.0 million
recording a gain of $2.6 million.

	    Income Taxes

	    Income tax recovery on continuing operations for the second quarter was
$15.3 million ($21.4 million year to date) compared with income tax of $0.2
million for the same quarter last year (tax recovery of $13.5 million year to
date). A reduction in the valuation allowance of $2.8 million was recorded in
the quarter as a result of utilization of some of the operating losses in the
U.S. that do not expire for up to 20 years.

	    Net Income (Loss) and Earnings (Loss) Per Share

	    In the second quarter, the Company reported a net loss of $38.4 million
($96.6 million year to date), compared to net income of $6.3 million in the
second quarter of last year (net loss of $28.1 million year to date). Diluted
loss per share was $0.70 for the quarter ($1.75 year to date), compared to
diluted earnings per share of $0.11 for the second quarter of 2008 (diluted
loss per share of $0.51 year to date).

	    Operating Earnings

	    Operating earnings are calculated as income from continuing operations
excluding after-tax net realized gains and losses on securities and after tax
gains on redemption of senior notes to assess the profitability of the
operations.

	    Securities:

	    The fair value of the securities portfolio, including cash, decreased 6%
to $2.4 billion, compared to $2.5 billion as at December 31, 2008. This
decrease is primarily due to the decline in premium volumes throughout the
group, particularly at Lincoln General. Partially offsetting this factor is
the impact of a stronger Canadian dollar at the balance sheet date on the
conversion of the Canadian dollar portfolio to U.S. dollars.
	    As previously announced, the Company elected to dispose of virtually all
of its common share equities during the first quarter of 2009 in order to
reduce volatility of the balance sheet and protect the Company's capital. The
common share equity portfolio was substantially disposed of during the first
quarter and proceeds were reinvested in high quality fixed income securities.
As at June 30, 2009, the fair value of the common share equity portfolio was
$4.0 million. These common share equity holdings are being monitored in the
context of the risk profile of the total portfolio.
	    As at June 30, 2009, 93.5% of the fixed income portfolio is rated 'A' or
better. For a quantitative analysis of the credit exposure of the Company from
its investment in fixed income securities and term deposits by rating as
assigned by S&P or Moody's Investor Services see Note 7 to the financial
statements.
	    The table below summarizes the fair value by contractual maturity of the
fixed income securities portfolio, which includes term deposits and bonds,
split between Canadian and U.S. operations:

	    There were net unrealized gains of $53.6 million on the total securities
portfolio at June 30, 2009 which are included as a component of "accumulated
other comprehensive income", as compared to net unrealized gains of $35.0
million outstanding at December 31, 2008.
	    For a quantitative analysis of the impact to the fair value of the fixed
income portfolio of a change in interest rates, see Note 7 to the financial
statements.
	    As at June 30, 2009 the securities portfolio did not include any
collateralized debt obligations nor any direct exposure to any asset backed
commercial paper. The securities portfolio has a small exposure of
approximately $1.5 million to the sub-prime mortgage market in the U.S.
through home equity loan asset backed securities. As at June 30, 2009, these
securities had an aggregate net unrealized loss of $0.2 million.

	    Accounts receivable and other assets:

	    Included in other assets is Assets Held for Sale in the amount of $37.7
million which have been reclassified from Capital assets. As part of the
announced transformation program, management is actively marketing some of its
land and buildings.
	    Overall, accounts receivable have decreased primarily as a result of the
settlement of reinsurance and a decline in the premiums written.

	    Income taxes recoverable:

	    Income taxes recoverable increased as a result of the continuing losses
experienced in the quarter.

	    Future income taxes:

	    Future income taxes have decreased primarily due to a valuation allowance
recorded in during the first half of the year. During the quarter a reduction
in the valuation allowance of $2.8 million was recorded, however for the year
an overall increase in the valuation allowance of $7.6 million was recorded as
a result of the continued losses of the U.S. operations. Uncertainty over the
Company's ability to utilize these losses over the short term has led to the
Company recording the additional allowance.

	    Capital assets:

	    Capital assets decreased by 40% since the end of last year primarily as a
result of the reclassification of $37.7 million of Assets Held for Sale to
Accounts receivable and other assets.

	    Goodwill and intangible assets:

	    Goodwill and intangible assets decreased by 8% since the end of last year
mainly as a result of the accelerated amortization of computer software in
certain of the U.S. subsidiaries.

	    Unearned premiums:

	    Unearned premiums decreased 14% since December 31, 2008 as a result of
lower written premiums.

	    Unpaid claims:

	    The provisions for unpaid claims decreased by 3% to $1.83 billion at the
end of the second quarter compared to $1.88 billion at the end of 2008. The
provision for unpaid claims comprised case reserves for individual claims of
$1.09 billion ($1.05 billion at December 31, 2008) and a provision for
Incurred But Not Reported (IBNR) claims which decreased 10.4% to $741.6
million ($828.1 million at December 31, 2008). The Run-off business had $523.8
million of case reserves and $479.7 million provision for IBNR claims as at
June 30, 2009, a decrease of 13% since December 31, 2008.

	    Book value per share:
	    Book value per share decreased by 19% to $6.67 (C$7.76) at June 30, 2009
from $8.24 (C$10.03) at December 31, 2008 as a result of the diluted loss per
share of $1.75 and the increase of $13.2 million in the "Accumulated other
comprehensive income" component of shareholders' equity.

	    Contractual Obligations

	    Information concerning contractual maturities of financial instruments as
at June 30, 2009 is shown in Note 7 of the financial statements. For further
details on the Company's long term debt and interest obligations, refer to
Note 20 of the Company's 2008 audited consolidated financial statements and
pages 35 to 40 of the 2008 Annual Report which sets out the Company's
contractual obligations as at December 31, 2008.
	    On June 29, 2009, Kingsway and Lincoln General entered into a consulting
agreement with an external run-off manager to provide certain consulting
services relating to Lincoln General, including advice and assistance in the
development of a Run-off Plan. In addition to base compensation of $1.3
million annually, the agreement provides for a minimum of $2.5 million to be
paid to the Run-off Manager at the termination of the contract (provided the
contract is not terminated for cause), which, at the latest will be March 1,
2014. This bonus may be increased upon the occurrence of certain events, the
likelihood of which will be remeasured and accrued quarterly. The minimum
bonus amount of $2.5 million is being accrued over the term of the contract.

	    Liquidity and Capital Resources

	    During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the cash used in
operating activities were $82.2 million and $183.5 million, respectively. The
Company's insurance subsidiaries fund their obligations primarily through the
premium and investment income and maturities in the securities portfolio.
	    As a holding company, Kingsway derives cash from its subsidiaries
generally in the form of dividends and management fees to meet its
obligations, which primarily consist of dividend and interest payments. The
Company believes that it has the flexibility to obtain the funds needed to
fulfill its cash requirements and also to satisfy regulatory capital
requirements over the next twelve months. The operating insurance subsidiaries
require regulatory approval for the return of capital and, in certain
circumstances, prior to the payment of dividends. In the event that dividends
and management fees available to Kingsway are inadequate to service its
obligations, the Company would need to raise capital, sell assets or
restructure its debt obligations. The Company holds $489.0 million in cash and
high grade short term assets, representing approximately 20% of invested
assets. The majority of the other fixed income securities are also liquid.
	    On June 26, 2009, KFS Capital LLC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of
Kingsway, commenced a take-over bid (the "KLROC Offer") to acquire up to
1,000,000 preferred, retractable, redeemable, cumulative units of Kingsway
Linked Return of Capital Trust at a price per unit of C$12.00 in cash. The
KLROC Offer expired at 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on Tuesday, August 4, 2009 and
694,015 units were tendered. This tender was paid for using available cash.
	    Kingsway 2007 General Partnership, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of
Kingsway announced on July 14, 2009 the commencement of a modified "Dutch
Auction" tender offer (the "2012 Offer") for a portion of its outstanding
Unsecured 6% Debentures due July 11, 2012 (the "2012 Debentures"). The 2012
Offer provides for a cash purchase of 2012 Debentures at a price per C$1,000
principal amount of debentures of not less than C$540 and not greater than
C$620, for a maximum aggregate purchase price to the offeror not to exceed
C$31 million (excluding accrued and unpaid interest). The 2012 Offer expires
at 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on August 14, 2009, unless extended or earlier
terminated by the Offeror. The Company expects to pay for the 2012 offer using
available cash and/or proceeds from an undrawn $20 million line of credit.
	    Kingsway announced on July 29, 2009 an amendment to its normal course
issuer bid for common shares had been approved by the TSX. The normal course
issuer bid was originally announced by Kingsway on November 28, 2008.
Purchases under the normal course issuer bid from December 2, 2008 to December
1, 2009 were limited to 2,753,426 common shares (or approximately 5% of the
aggregate number of common shares outstanding on November 15, 2008). Purchases
under the normal course issuer bid, as amended, are now limited to 5,386,545
common shares, or 10% of the public float on November 28, 2008. Purchases
under the normal course issuer bid, as amended, will terminate on December 1,
2009.
	    The Capital Committee of Kingsway's board of directors has recommended
that capital allocated to the Capital Committee for its $40 million capital
initiative that was announced in May 2009 that remains unused following the
expiry of: (i) the modified "Dutch Auction" tender offer for a portion of its
outstanding Unsecured 6% Debentures due July 11, 2012, and (ii) the expiry of
the take-over bid for units of the Kingsway Linked Return of Capital Trust, be
applied to the repurchase of Kingsway common shares pursuant to the Company's
normal course issuer bid.
	    As at June 30, 2009 the Company was adequately capitalized to support the
premium volume of the insurance subsidiaries. The Company's Canadian operating
entities are regulated by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial
Institutions ("OSFI") and the Financial Services Commission of Ontario
("FSCO") and are required to maintain a level of capital sufficient to achieve
a target of 150% of a minimum capital test ("MCT") ratio. As at June 30, 2009
the MCT's of Jevco Insurance Company and Kingsway General Insurance Company
were 221% and 203% respectively. As at June 30, 2009 the Canadian insurance
companies have aggregate capital of approximately $46.4 million in excess of
the 150% level.
	    In the United States, a risk based capital ("RBC") formula is used by the
National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") to identify property
and casualty insurance companies that may not be adequately capitalized. The
NAIC requires that capital and surplus not fall below 200% of the authorized
control level. As at June 30, 2009, all U.S. subsidiaries, with the exception
of Lincoln General, are estimated to be above the required RBC levels, with
RBC ratio estimates ranging between 264% and 42,600%, and have estimated
aggregate capital (excluding Lincoln General) of approximately $83.6 million
in excess of the 200% level. As at June 30, 2009, Lincoln General's estimated
RBC was 63%.
	    Lincoln General submitted its regulatory action plan on May 7, 2009 that
the Pennsylvania Insurance Department subsequently determined is satisfactory.
Please refer to Note 9 of the 2008 Annual Report and Note 8 to the interim
financial statements for further details.
	    The Company's reinsurance subsidiaries, which are domiciled in Barbados
and Bermuda, are required by the regulator in the jurisdictions in which they
operate to maintain minimum capital levels. As at June 30, 2009 the capital
maintained by Kingsway Reinsurance Corporation was approximately $49.9 million
in excess of the regulatory requirements in Barbados and the capital
maintained by Kingsway Reinsurance (Bermuda) Limited was approximately $12.6
million in excess of regulatory requirements in Bermuda.
	    As part of the ongoing transformation program, during the second quarter
the Company began terminating all related party reinsurance treaties. As at
June 30, 2009 the treaties between Lincoln General and Kingsway Reinsurance
Corporation have been commuted. All other treaties between Kingsway
Reinsurance Corporation and the U.S. operating companies are expected to be
commuted in the third quarter of 2009. Treaties between the Canadian operating
companies and Kingsway Reinsurance (Bermuda) Limited are expected to be
commuted before the end of 2009. The objective of this initiative is to
increase capital in our operating companies and release excess capital to be
used for corporate purposes.

	    Off-Balance Sheet Financing

	    The Company entered into an off-balance sheet transaction through the
Kingsway Linked Return of Capital Trust transaction that was completed on July
14, 2005 which is more fully described in Note 20(d) of the 2008 audited
consolidated annual financial statements and on page 39 of the 2008 Annual
Report. The Company has one other off-balance sheet financing arrangement as
described on page 39 of the 2008 Annual Report.

	    Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

	    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. The year-to-date results of the company
reflect management's judgments regarding the impact of prevailing global
credit, and equity market conditions. Given the uncertainty surrounding the
continued volatility in these markets, and the general lack of liquidity in
financial markets, the actual financial results could differ from those
estimates.
	    There are no new critical accounting estimates or assumptions compared to
the information provided in the annual MD&A.

	    Related Party Transactions

	    Related-party transactions, also including services provided to or
received by Kingsway's subsidiaries, are carried out in the normal course of
operations and are measured at the amount of consideration paid or received as
established and agreed by the parties. Management believes that consideration
paid for such services approximate fair value.
	    In March 2009, the Company obtained a facility from a related party to
allow for specific capital initiatives. The facility is at fair market terms
and conditions and is more fully described in Note 14 of the interim financial
statements.

	    International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)

	    In 2006, the Accounting Standards Board (AcSB) published a new plan that
will significantly affect financial reporting requirements for Canadian
companies. The AcSB strategic plan outlines the convergence of Canadian GAAP
with IFRS over an expected five year transitional period. In February 2008,
the AcSB announced that 2011 is the changeover date for publically-listed
companies to use IFRS, replacing existing Canadian GAAP. The date is for
interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on
or after January 1, 2011. The transition date of January 1, 2011 will require
the restatement for comparative purposes of amounts reported by the Company
for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Company has begun assessing the
adoption of IFRS for 2011, which is more fully described on pages 43 and 44 of
the 2008 Annual Report.

	    Disclosure of Outstanding Share Data

	    As at June 30, 2009, the Company had 55,068,528 common shares outstanding
and there have been no changes up to the reporting date.

	    Outlook

	    The Company's 2008 Annual Report includes description and analysis of the
key factors and events that could impact future earnings under the heading
"Risk Factors" in the section entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis".
These factors and events have, for the most part, remained substantially
unchanged except as otherwise disclosed herein.

	    Disclosure Controls and Procedures

	    Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining
disclosure controls and procedures for the Company as defined under National
Instrument 52-109 issued by the Canadian Securities Administrators. Management
has designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused them to be
designed under its supervision, to provide reasonable assurance that material
information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries,
is made known to the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer
by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which the
interim filings are being prepared.

	    Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

	    Management of the Company is responsible for designing internal controls
over financial reporting for the Company as defined under National Instrument
52-109 issued by the Canadian Securities Administrators. Management has
designed such internal controls over financial reporting, or caused them to be
designed under its supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. There has been no
change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that
occurred during the Company's most recent interim period that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal
control over financial reporting.

	    KINGSWAY FINANCIAL SERVICES INC.
	    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
	    For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008
	    (Unaudited - tabular amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars)
	    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

	    NOTE 1  Basis of Presentation

	    These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
	    accordance with The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants ("CICA")
	    Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") using the same
	    accounting policies as were used for the Company's consolidated financial
	    statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 except for the changes in
	    accounting policies as noted below. These interim consolidated financial
	    statements do not contain all disclosures required by generally accepted
	    accounting principles and accordingly should be read in conjunction with
	    the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year
	    ended December 31, 2008 as set out on pages 65 to 104 of the Company's
	    2008 Annual Report. The results of the operations for the interim periods
	    are not necessarily indicative of the full-year results.

	    NOTE 2  Change In Accounting Polices

	    Commencing January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the CICA Handbook Section
	    3064 Goodwill and Intangible Assets. As a result of adopting the new
	    standard, certain software costs previously recorded as Capital assets
	    are now recorded as Intangible assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
	    Accordingly, $18.1 million as at December 31, 2008 ($17.9 million as at
	    June 30, 2008) was reclassified from Capital assets to Intangible assets.
	    The related amortization expense that was previously recorded in General
	    and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations
	    is now recorded as Amortization of intangibles. Accordingly, $1.9 million
	    for the three months ended June 30, 2008 ($3.5 million for the six months
	    ended June 30, 2008) was reclassified from General and administrative
	    expenses to Amortization of intangibles.

	    Commencing January 20, 2009, the Company adopted the CICA Handbook
	    EIC 173 - Credit Risk and the Fair Value of Financial Assets and
	    Financial Liabilities, which clarifies the consideration of entity's own
	    credit risk and the credit risk of the counterparty in determining the
	    fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including
	    derivative instruments. The accounting treatment should be applied
	    retrospectively without restatement of prior periods to all financial
	    assets and liabilities measured at fair value. There was no resulting
	    difference noted on adoption.

	    NOTE 3  Discontinued Operations

	    On September 30, 2008 the company completed its previously announced sale
	    of York Fire and Casualty Insurance Company (York Fire), a primarily
	    standard insurance writer, for C$95 million in cash. The Company has
	    classified York Fire as discontinued operations and the results of its
	    operations are reported separately for all periods presented. Prior to
	    the sale, York Fire was part of the Canadian reporting segment. The final
	    settlement was completed in the first quarter of 2009 and the adjustments
	    are reflected accordingly.

	    Summarized financial information for discontinued York Fire operations is
	    shown below.

	    NOTE 4  Stock-based Compensation

	    As reported on pages 81 - 84 of the Company's 2008 Annual Report,
	    effective January 1, 2003 the Company adopted on a prospective basis the
	    fair-value method of accounting for stock-based compensation awards
	    granted to employees and non-employee directors.

	    During March 2009, the Company issued two option grants at varying
	    exercise prices. The per share fair value of these grants was C$0.97 and
	    C$0.45. Per share fair value of options granted during 2008 was C$2.88 in
	    February, C$2.43 in May and C$2.45 in September. The fair value of the
	    options granted was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes
	    option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

	    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
	                                                             As at June 30:
	    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
	                                                            2009        2008
	    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
	    Risk-free interest rate                                 1.78%       3.22%
	    Dividend yield                                          4.21%       2.23%
	    Volatility of the expected market price of the
	     Company's common shares                                88.1%       27.8%
	    Expected option life (in years)                          4.0         4.0
	    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
	    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

	    The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in
	    estimating fair value of traded options which have no vesting
	    restrictions and are fully transferable. As the Company's employee stock
	    options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded
	    options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can
	    materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the
	    above pro forma adjustments are not necessarily a reliable single measure
	    of the fair value of the Company's employee stock options.

	    NOTE 5  Segmented Information

	    The Company provides property and casualty insurance and other insurance
	    related services. Previously, the Company managed these businesses in
	    three reportable segments, Canada, the United States and Corporate and
	    other insurance related services. As a result of implementing its
	    corporate restructuring plan and exiting non-core business, the Company
	    now manages its business in four reportable segments, Canada, the United
	    States, Business in run-off and Corporate and other insurance related
	    services. The Company's Canadian and United States segments include
	    transactions with the Company's reinsurance subsidiaries. The business in
	    run-off is comprised of the Lincoln General business except for specific
	    product lines transferred to related companies, the Southern United
	    business and the Canadian long haul trucking business. At the present
	    time, other insurance related services are not significant. Results for
	    the Company's operating segments are based on the Company's internal
	    financial reporting systems and are consistent with those followed in the
	    preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The reportable
	    segments for Canada have been updated to conform to the current period's
	    financial statement presentation for the results of continuing
	    operations.

	    Fair values of term deposits, bonds and common and preferred shares are
	    considered to approximate quoted market values based on the latest bid
	    prices in active markets. Fair value of securities for which no active
	    market exists are derived from quoted market prices of similar securities
	    or third party evidence.

	    Management performs a quarterly analysis of the Company's investment
	    holdings to determine if declines in market value are other than
	    temporary. Pursuant to FASB and Accounting Standards Board of Canada
	    guidance issued in April 2009, the analysis process has been revised
	    during the quarter to include consideration of the following factors:

	    -   Assessing the company's intent to sell those securities;
	    -   Assessing whether it is more likely than not that the company will be
	        required to sell those securities before the recovery of its
	        amortized cost basis;
	    -   Assessing if any credit losses are expected for those securities. The
	        assessment includes consideration of, among other things, all
	        available information and factors having a bearing upon
	        collectability of security such as changes to credit rating by rating
	        agencies, financial condition of the issuer, expected cash flows and
	        value of any underlying collateral.

	    As a result of the above analysis performed by management to determine
	    declines in market value that are other than temporary, write downs for
	    other-than-temporary impairments were $3.3 million compared to
	    $9.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 and the entire amount of
	    other-than-temporary impairments has been recognized in earnings.

	    Management has reviewed currently available information regarding other
	    securities whose estimated fair values are less than their carrying
	    amounts and believes that these unrealized losses are not other than
	    temporary and are primarily due to temporary market and sector related
	    factors rather than to issuer-specific factors. The company does not
	    intend to sell those securities and it is not more likely than not that
	    it will be required to sell those securities before recovery of its
	    amortized cost.

	    Net investment income for the quarter ended June 30 is comprised as
	    follows:

	    NOTE 7  Financial Instruments

	    Risk Management

	    The Company's risk management policies and practices are described on
	    pages 18 to 20, 45 to 53 and 74 to 78 of the Company's 2008 Annual
	    Report. There has been no significant change in the risk management
	    framework.

	    In addition, the Company has provided herein the disclosures required
	    under the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) handbook
	    section 3862, "Financial Instruments - Disclosures" related to the nature
	    and extent of risks arising from financial instruments. These disclosures
	    form an integral part of the interim consolidated financial statements.

	    Credit risk:

	    The Company is exposed to credit risk principally through its investment
	    securities and balances receivable from policyholders and reinsurers. The
	    Company monitors concentration and credit quality risk through policies
	    to limit and monitor its exposure to individual issuers or related groups
	    (with the exception of U.S. and Canadian government bonds) as well as
	    through ongoing review of the credit ratings of issuers held in the
	    securities portfolio. The Company's credit exposure to any one individual
	    policyholder is not material. The Company's policies, however, are
	    distributed by agents, program managers or brokers who manage cash
	    collection on its behalf. The Company has policies to evaluate the
	    financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentrations of
	    credit risk arising from similar geographic regions, activities, or
	    economic characteristics of the reinsurers to minimize its exposure to
	    significant losses from reinsurer's insolvency.

	    The table below summarizes the credit exposure of the Company from its
	    investments in fixed income securities and term deposits by rating as
	    assigned by S&P or Moody's Investor Services, using the higher of these
	    ratings for any security where there is a split rating:

	    As at June 30, 2009, 93.5% of the fixed income portfolio is rated 'A' or
	    better. The 'not rated' category consists primarily of investments in
	    money market instruments. Changes in this balance period over period are
	    primarily due to timing of investment maturities and reinvestment.

	    Market risk:

	    Our primary market risk exposure is changes in interest rates. Because
	    most of the securities portfolio is comprised of fixed income securities,
	    periodic changes in interest rate levels generally impact the financial
	    results to the extent that reinvestment yields are different than the
	    original yields on maturing securities. Also, during periods of rising
	    interest rates, the market value of the existing fixed income securities
	    will generally decrease and realized gains on fixed income securities
	    will likely be reduced. The reverse is true during periods of declining
	    interest rates.

	    Duration is a measure used to estimate the extent market values of fixed
	    income instruments change with changes in interest rates. Using this
	    measure, it is estimated that an immediate hypothetical 100 basis point
	    or 1 percent parallel increase in interest rates would decrease the
	    market value of the fixed income securities by $71.6 million at June 30,
	    2009, representing 3.3% of the $2.2 billion fair value fixed income
	    securities portfolio.

	    The following table summarizes carrying amounts of financial instruments
	    by contractual maturity or expected cash flow dates (the actual repricing
	    dates may differ from contractual maturity because certain securities and
	    debentures have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without
	    call or prepayment penalties):

	    Collateral pledged: As at June 30, 2009, bonds and term deposits with an
	    estimated fair value of $52.3 million were on deposit with state and
	    provincial regulatory authorities. Also, from time to time, the Company
	    pledges securities to third parties to collateralize liabilities incurred
	    under its policies of insurance. At June 30, 2009, the amount of such
	    pledged securities was $116.0 million. Collateral pledging transactions
	    are conducted under terms that are common and customary to standard
	    collateral pledging and are subject to the Company's standard risk
	    management controls.

	    The company has a syndicate letter of credit facility which is
	    principally used to collateralize inter-company reinsurance balances for
	    statutory capital management purposes. The Company pledges securities to
	    collateralize the utilized portion of the letter of credit facility. At
	    June 30, 2009 the letter of credit facility utilization was
	    $20.2 million.

	    Fair value:

	    Refer to Note 6 with respect to fair value disclosure on securities. The
	    carrying value of unpaid claims does not take into consideration the time
	    value of money or make an explicit provision for adverse deviation. In
	    order to estimate the fair value of the unpaid claims, the Company uses
	    an actuarial approach recognizing the time value of money which
	    incorporates assumptions concerning projected cash flows and appropriate
	    provisions for adverse deviation. As at June 30, 2009 the estimated fair
	    value of the unpaid claims was $1,974.8 million ($1,836.4 million net of
	    reinsurers' share of unpaid claims). The estimated fair value is
	    approximately $144.1 million above the undiscounted carrying value as a
	    result of a provision for adverse development totaling $186.6 million in
	    addition to the present value of unpaid claims. There is no active market
	    for policy liabilities, so a market value is not readily available.

	    The table below summarizes the fair valuation of debt liabilities, though
	    they are held at amortized cost on the consolidated balance sheet:

	    NOTE 8  Capital Management

	    On June 26, 2009, KFS Capital LLC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of
	    Kingsway, commenced a take-over bid (the "KLROC Offer") to acquire up to
	    1,000,000 preferred, retractable, redeemable, cumulative units of
	    Kingsway Linked Return of Capital Trust at a price per unit of C$12.00 in
	    cash. The KLROC Offer expired at 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on Tuesday,
	    August 4, 2009 and 694,015 units were tendered. This tender was paid for
	    using available cash.

	    Kingsway 2007 General Partnership, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of
	    Kingsway announced on July 14, 2009 the commencement of a modified "Dutch
	    Auction" tender offer (the "2012 Offer") for a portion of its outstanding
	    Unsecured 6% Debentures due July 11, 2012 (the "2012 Debentures"). The
	    2012 Offer provides for a cash purchase of 2012 Debentures at a price per
	    C$1,000 principal amount of debentures of not less than C$540 and not
	    greater than C$620, for a maximum aggregate purchase price to the offeror
	    not to exceed C$31 million (excluding accrued and unpaid interest). The
	    2012 Offer expires at 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on August 14, 2009, unless
	    extended or earlier terminated by the Offeror. The Company expects to pay
	    for the 2012 offer using available cash and/or proceeds from an undrawn
	    $20 million line of credit.

	    As at June 30, 2009 the Company was adequately capitalized to support the
	    premium volume of the insurance subsidiaries. Canadian property and
	    casualty insurance companies are regulated by the Office of the
	    Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI) and the Financial
	    Services Commission of Ontario (FSCO) and are required to maintain a
	    level of capital sufficient to achieve a target of 150% of a minimum
	    capital test (MCT) ratio. As at June 30, 2009 the MCT's of Jevco
	    Insurance Company and Kingsway General Insurance Company were 221% and
	    203% respectively. As at June 30, 2009 the Canadian insurance companies
	    have aggregate capital of approximately $46.4 million in excess of the
	    150% level.

	    In the United States, a risk based capital (RBC) formula is used by the
	    National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) to identify
	    property and casualty insurance companies that may not be adequately
	    capitalized. The NAIC requires that capital and surplus not fall below
	    200% of the authorized control level. As at June 30, 2009, all U.S.
	    subsidiaries, with the exception of Lincoln General, are estimated to be
	    above the required RBC levels, with RBC ratios estimates ranging between
	    263% and 42,600% and have estimated aggregate capital excluding Lincoln
	    General of approximately $83.6 million in excess of the 200% level. As at
	    June 30, 2009 Lincoln General's estimated RBC was 63%.

	    As a result of Lincoln's RBC level as at December 31, 2008, the
	    Pennsylvania Insurance Department was required to conduct an examination
	    and issue an order outlining corrective action to be taken. Further,
	    under Pennsylvania law, Lincoln may be deemed to be operating in a
	    financially hazardous condition based on its financial statements at
	    December 31, 2008. As a result, the Pennsylvania Insurance Department has
	    the power to take a variety of regulatory actions, including but not
	    limited to department supervision, and the seeking of a court order of
	    rehabilitation or liquidation if it determines that Lincoln's condition
	    is such that the further transaction of business would be hazardous,
	    financially, to its policyholders, creditors or the public.

	    As part of a plan developed by management, Lincoln has initiated running
	    off its book of business and, accordingly, management has ceased writing
	    new or renewal business, except where otherwise required by law or pre-
	    existing contractual obligations, and has initiated mid-term
	    cancellations in certain lines of business. As at December 31, 2008,
	    Lincoln had statutory admitted assets of $386.7 million, liabilities of
	    $307.5 million, and statutory capital and surplus of $79.2 million. On
	    March 11, 2009, Lincoln entered into a letter agreement with the
	    Pennsylvania Insurance Department (the Department) that provides for
	    increased supervisory oversight by the Department including but not
	    limited to increased reporting and Department approval of non-routine
	    matters including transfers or pledges of assets, extension of loans,
	    incurring of debt, increases in salaries, payments of bonuses to officers
	    and directors, and consummation of material transactions.

	    Lincoln General submitted its regulatory action plan on May 7, 2009 which
	    the Pennsylvania Insurance Department has subsequently determined is
	    satisfactory. The plan is a run-off plan that provides for the orderly,
	    efficient resolution and payment of all policy-related claims and other
	    obligations in full and when due. To execute the run-off plan the Company
	    has engaged a run-off manager, principals in which have been appointed to
	    key positions at Lincoln General.

	    The reinsurance subsidiaries, which are domiciled in Barbados and
	    Bermuda, are required by the regulator in the jurisdictions in which they
	    operate to maintain minimum capital levels. As at June 30, 2009 the
	    capital maintained by Kingsway Reinsurance Corporation was approximately
	    $49.9 million ($77.9 million as at December 31, 2008) in excess of the
	    regulatory requirements in Barbados and the capital maintained by
	    Kingsway Reinsurance (Bermuda) Limited was approximately $12.6 million
	    ($15.4 million as at December 31, 2008) in excess of regulatory
	    requirements in Bermuda.

	    NOTE 9  Hedges

	    On June 2, 2009, the company discontinued the swap transaction which was
	    designated as a cash flow hedge. When the hedge is discontinued, any
	    cumulative adjustment to either the hedged item or other comprehensive
	    income is recognized in income over the remaining term of the hedged
	    item, or when the hedged item is derecognized. The amount of loss
	    recorded in other comprehensive income is $6.2 million before tax of
	    which $0.2 million has been reclassified to net income for the period
	    ended June 30, 2009 as a result of the discontinuance of the cash flow
	    hedge.

	    NOTE 10  Restructuring charges

	    During the first quarter of 2009, the Company announced the corporate
	    restructuring plan to concentrate on its core and profitable lines of
	    business and is targeted to improve the Company's financial stability.
	    The Company is consolidating operations in U.S. and Canada, simplifying
	    the management structure, reducing costs through synergies and
	    operational efficiencies and positioning the Company to seize competitive
	    advantage. As the Company exits businesses and streamlines operations,
	    approximately 1,000 employees will be removed from the total workforce.
	    Restructuring plan costs will be approximately $20 million, to be
	    incurred over fiscal 2009 and 2010, of which $12.9 million was expensed
	    in the first six months of 2009.

	    During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company continued to
	    implement these restructuring work plans. Restructuring charges for the
	    six months ended June 30, 2009 were as follows:
