	    Attention Business/Financial Editors:
	    Kingsway Reports First Quarter Results

	    TORONTO, May 14 /CNW/ - (TSX: KFS, NYSE: KFS) Kingsway Financial Services
Inc. ("Kingsway" or the "Company") today announced its financial results for
the first quarter ended March 31, 2010. All amounts are in U.S. dollars unless
indicated otherwise.
	    The Company reported a first quarter net income of $ 24.1 million or
$0.46 per share diluted. The book value has decreased from $3.28 per share at
December 31, 2009 to $3.26 per share at March 31, 2010.
	    The following are the highlights of the first quarter of 2010:

	    Major events:

	    <<
	    -   The disposal of Jevco resulted in the recognition of unrealized
	        foreign currency exchange gains of $34.1 million. A corresponding
	        reduction has been recorded in other comprehensive income.
	    -   $84.8 million of the Company's debt was repurchased in the quarter,
	        resulting in a gain of $15.1 million.
	    >>

	    Operational results:

	    <<
	    -   An underwriting loss of $23.1 million was recorded in the US segment.
	    -   A net loss of $7.2 million was recorded in the corporate segment.
	    -   84% of gross premiums written were generated from non-standard
	        automobile, the core line of business.
	    -   Investment income decreased by 83% compared to the same period a year
	        ago, which was largely due to the impact of a stronger Canadian
	        dollar on the Company's unhedged Canadian dollar debt, as well as
	        lower interest income from a smaller fixed-income securities
	        portfolio.

	    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
	    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

	    -   The loss of $16.8 million from continuing operations for the quarter
	        arose primarily from underwriting losses of $23.1 million in the US
	        segment, which included adverse development of $6.5 million,
	        partially offset by the gain on buy back of debt of $15.1 million and
	        a $7.2 million loss in the corporate segment. The loss incurred in
	        the corporate segment is a result of a higher remaining expense base
	        in continuing operations as the Company is no longer allocating a
	        portion of these costs to discontinued operations

	    -   Gross premiums written decreased by 38% for the quarter to
	        $84.3 million from $136.9 million in the first quarter last year. The
	        significant reduction in premium volume is a reflection of the
	        Company's strategy of discontinuing unprofitable lines of business,
	        primarily within its commercial lines.

	    -   As a result of the Company re-focusing its efforts on core,
	        profitable lines of business, non standard automobile premiums for
	        the three months to March 31, 2010 were $70.9 million or 84% of the
	        total gross premiums written compared to $96.9 million or 71% of
	        gross premiums written in the same period last year.

	    -   The net adverse reserve development recorded in the quarter totaled
	        $6.5 million. A large proportion of the increase in unfavorable
	        unpaid claims development experienced was from the commercial lines
	        of business which have now been significantly reduced.

	    -   In the first quarter of 2010, the Company has incurred restructuring
	        costs of $3.7 million, which was primarily severance costs for senior
	        management in Canada.

	    -   Investment income, excluding net realized gains was $1.4 million
	        compared to $8.3 million for the same quarter of 2009, an 83%
	        decrease. The decrease in investment income was as a result of
	        smaller fixed income securities portfolio due to the reduction in
	        premiums written; the strengthening Canadian dollar on the Company's
	        unhedged Canadian dollar denominated debt; and the reduction in
	        interest income from lower yields.

	    -   General and Administrative expenses increased 35% to $24.6 million in
	        the first quarter of 2010 from $18.2 million in the same quarter last
	        year. This increase is primarily as a result of a higher remaining
	        expense base in continuing operations as the Company is no longer
	        allocating a portion of these costs to discontinued operations

	    -   As at March 31, 2010, the book value per share was $3.26 compared to
	        $3.28 as at December 31, 2009 and $6.73 as at March 31, 2009.

	    Kingsway Financial Services Inc.'s Management Discussion and Analysis

	    The following management's discussion and analysis ("MD&A") should be
read in conjunction with: (i) the Kingsway Financial Services Inc.'s
("Kingsway" or the "Company") unaudited interim consolidated financial
statements for the first quarter of fiscal 2010, and the notes related
thereto; (ii) the annual MD&A for fiscal 2009 set out on pages 1 to 44 in the
Company's 2009 Annual Report, including the section on risk factors; and (iii)
the audited consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2009 set out on pages
51 to 106 of the Company's 2009 Annual Report, and the notes related thereto.
	    The Company's financial results are reported in U.S. dollars. Unless
otherwise indicated, all amounts are in U.S. dollars and have been derived
from financial statements prepared in accordance with Canadian generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

	    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

	    The Company uses both GAAP and certain non-GAAP financial measures to
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. The loss ratio is derived by dividing the amount of net claims
incurred by net premiums earned. The expense ratio is derived by dividing the
sum of commissions and premium taxes and general and administrative expenses
by net premiums earned. The combined ratio is the sum of the loss ratio and
the expense ratio. A combined ratio below 100% demonstrates underwriting
profit whereas a combined ratio over 100% demonstrates an underwriting loss.
We believe that consistently delivering an underwriting profit is a key
measure of performance of the underwriting business of a property and casualty
insurance company. Although there is not a property and casualty industry
defined standard that is consistently applied in calculating these ratios, The
Company 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 The Company's combined ratios to those of
other public companies as they may not have been calculated on a comparable
basis.

	    Date of MD&A

	    Unless otherwise noted, the information contained in this MD&A is based
on information available to management as of May 14, 2010.

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

	    Gross premiums written decreased by 38% for the quarter to $84.3 million
from $136.9 million in the first quarter of last year. The significant
reduction in premium volume across all segments is a reflection of the
Company's strategy of discontinuing unprofitable lines of business, primarily
within its commercial lines as well as the general impact on volume due to the
ongoing economic situation in the US.
	    The Company reported decreases in gross premiums written in the major
lines of business. Non standard automobile and commercial automobile decreased
by 27% and 73% respectively for the quarter compared to the same period last
year reflecting the Company's decision to terminate unprofitable business and
exit certain commercial lines of business. Non standard automobile continues
to be the Company's primary line of business, accounting for 84% of gross
premiums written for the year to date compared to 71% last year. The
proportion of commercial automobile premiums as a percent of the Company's
total gross premiums written has declined to 11% from 24% last year.

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

	    Investment income in the quarter was $1.4 million, an 83% decrease
compared to the same period last year. The primary reason for this decrease in
the quarter is a loss of approximately $2.7 million from the impact of the
strengthening Canadian dollar on the Company's unhedged Canadian dollar
denominated debt. Also contributing to the decrease is the reduction in
interest income from lower yields as a result of a reduction in short term
interest rates in the U.S. and from the duration and risk profile of the
portfolio having been reduced. A smaller fixed income securities portfolio as
a result of the reduction in premiums written has also contributed to the
lower interest income in the quarter. For a more detailed analysis of
investment income see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

	    Net Realized Gains (Losses)

	    For the three months ended March 31, 2010, sales from the securities

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

	    The underwriting loss for the U.S. operating segment was $23.1 million
for the quarter compared to a loss of $3.6 million in the first quarter of
2009. The underwriting loss for the quarter is attributable to unfavourable
reserve development of $6.5 million and increases to expected loss ratios on
the current accident year based upon revised indications of ultimate expected
loss payments including an increase of incurred losses above expectations of
approximately $4.0 million in the current accident year primarily relating to
Florida personal injury claims which is in line with industry experience. In
addition, the Company's expense base is still too large for the amount of
premiums written.

	    Adverse Development on Unpaid Claims

	    Note 1 - (Increase) decrease in estimates for unpaid claims from prior
accident years reflected in current financial year results

	    Note 2 - Increase (decrease) in current financial year reported combined
ratio

	    Note 3 - Increase (decrease) compared to estimated unpaid claims at the
end of the preceding fiscal year

	    The Company experienced estimated net unfavourable unpaid claims
development of $6.5 million for the quarter resulting in an increase of 8.0%
to the combined ratio for the quarter compared with estimated net favourable
unpaid claims development of $1.6 million in the same quarter last year. A
large proportion of the increase in unfavorable unpaid claims development
experienced was from the commercial lines of business which have now been
significantly reduced.
	    In 2009, the Company's internal actuarial team was significantly
strengthened and the process on reserving unpaid claims changed, resulting in
a more thorough internal review of unpaid claims. In 2010, instead of
adjusting the reserves to the independent external actuary's point estimate,
the Company now utilizes its internally developed reserve estimates.

	    Expenses

	    The expense ratio excluding corporate, increased to 45.8% in the quarter
compared to 25.9% for the same quarter last year. Costs included in the
expense ratio are commissions, premium taxes, general and administration
expenses and restructuring costs. Commissions as a percent of net premium
earned have increased for the quarter compared to the same quarter last year
due to the significant change in mix of business and the impact of the release
of deferred policy acquisition costs due to reduced volumes of business
written.
	    General and administrative expenses increased 35% to $24.6 million in the
first quarter of 2010 from $18.2 million in the same quarter last year. This
increase is primarily as a result of a higher remaining expense base in
continuing operations as the Company is no longer allocating a portion of
these costs to discontinued operations.
	    In line with the transformation plan, first quarter 2010 actions continue
to reduce the current expense base. The impact of these actions will be fully
realized during the remainder of 2010 and in to 2011. Charges related to the
restructuring program have been completed.

	    Interest Expense

	    Interest expense in the first quarter of 2010 decreased to $5.5 million
compared to $6.3 million for the first quarter of 2009 as a result of the debt
buy-back activities in 2009.

	    Gain on Buy-Back of Senior Notes

	    During the quarter Kingsway America Inc. and Kingsway 2007 General
Partnership purchased and cancelled $84.8 million face value of its senior
unsecured debentures for $69.7 million recording a gain of $15.1 million.

	    Income Taxes

	    Income tax recovery on continuing operations for the first quarter was
$2.7 million compared with an income tax recovery of $5.1 million for the same
quarter last year. An increase in the valuation allowance of $4.0 million was
recorded in the current quarter.

	    Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations and Earnings (Loss) Per Share -
Continuing Operations

	    In the first quarter, the Company reported a loss from continuing
operations of $16.8 million, compared to a loss from continuing operations of
$5.6 million in the first quarter of last year. Diluted loss per share was
$0.32 for the quarter compared to diluted loss per share of $0.10 for the
first quarter of 2009. As noted above, the current quarter's loss is primarily
due to the underwriting losses and corporate expenses which was partially
offset by the gain on the buy back of debt.

	    Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations

	    In the first quarter, the Company reported earnings from discontinued
operations of $40.9 million, compared to a loss from discontinued operations
of $52.7 million in the first quarter of last year. As a result of the
disposal of Jevco, the Company realized a foreign currency exchange gain of
$34.1 million that had previously been included in accumulated other
comprehensive income.

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

	    In the first quarter, the Company reported a net income of $24.1 million,
compared to net loss of $58.3 million in the first quarter of last year.
Diluted earnings per share was $0.46 for the quarter compared to loss per
share of $1.06 for the first quarter of 2009.

	    Cash:

	    The cash balance increased to $204.0 million as at March 31, 2010
compared to $58.7 million as at December 31, 2009. The increase in cash is
primarily due to the proceeds received from the Jevco sale partially offset by
the funds used to repurchase debt. The offset to the increase in cash is
reflected by the reduction of assets and liabilities held for sale reduced to
nil.

	    Securities:

	    The fair value of the securities portfolio decreased 9% to $468.2
million, compared to $512.2 million as at December 31, 2009.
	    As at March 31, 2010, 97.0% 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 6 to the financial
statements.

	    There were net unrealized gains of $12.0 million on the total securities
portfolio at March 31, 2010 which is included as a component of "accumulated
other comprehensive income", as compared to net unrealized gains of $5.8
million at December 31, 2009.

	    Accounts receivable and other assets:

	    The increase in accounts receivable is primarily a result of higher
premiums written in the current quarter as compared to the fourth quarter of
2009.

	    Funds held in escrow:

	    Funds held in escrow are the remaining proceeds to be received from the
Jevco sale once future contingent adjustments are known. See financial
statement note 3 for further details.

	    Income taxes recoverable:

	    Income taxes recoverable decreased due to the receipt of income tax
refunds that were generated from losses in the prior years.

	    Future income taxes:

	    Future income taxes have increased primarily due to timing differences
that have arisen as a result of severance costs. The valuation allowance
increased by $4.0 million in the current quarter. This allowance has been
established as a result of the continuing losses of the US operations.
Uncertainty over the Company's ability to utilize these loses over the short
term has led to the Company recording this additional allowance.

	    Assets held for sale:

	    Assets held for sale at December 31, 2009 consisted of all of the assets
of Jevco. These assets were sold on March 29, 2010.

	    Unearned premiums:

	    Unearned premiums decreased 0.8% since December 31, 2009 as a result of
lower written premiums.

	    Liabilities held for sale

	    Liabilities held for sale at December 31, 2009, consisted of all of the
liabilities of Jevco. These liabilities were sold on March 29, 2010.

	    The provisions for unpaid claims decreased by 5.7% to $347.4 million at
the end of the first quarter compared to $368.5 million at the end of 2009
	    The provision for unpaid claims includes case reserves for individual
claims of $223.6 million ($229.6 million at December 31, 2009) and a provision
for Incurred But Not Reported ("IBNR") claims which decreased 10.8% to $123.8
million ($138.9 million at December 31, 2009).

	    Book value per share:

	    Book value per share decreased by 1% to $3.26 at March 31, 2010 from
$3.28 at December 31, 2009 as a result of the decrease of $23.2 million in the
"Accumulated other comprehensive income" component of shareholders' equity
partially offset by the diluted earnings per share of $0.46.

	    Contractual Obligations and Related Contingencies

	    Information concerning contractual maturities of financial instruments as
at March 31, 2010 is shown in Note 14 of the financial statements. For further
details on the Company's long term debt and interest obligations, refer to
Note 17 of the Company's 2009 audited consolidated financial statements and
pages 20 to 25 of the 2009 Annual Report which sets out the Company's
contractual obligations as at December 31, 2009.
	    On June 29, 2009, Kingsway and Lincoln entered into an agreement with
Rockwall Financial Advisors, LLC ("Rockwall Financial"). Pursuant to that
agreement (the "Run-off Management Agreement"), Rockwall Financial was to
serve as the run-off manager for Lincoln. In addition to base compensation of
$1.3 million annually, the agreement provides for a minimum of $2.5 million to
be paid to Rockwall Financial no later than March 1, 2014, provided the
contract is not terminated by Kingsway or Lincoln for cause. As a result of
the October 19, 2009 disposition of Lincoln, in 2009, the Company had accrued
$3.2 million for the base compensation and the additional $2.5 million
compensation for a total compensation of $5.7 million as at March 31, 2010.
	    In March 2010, Rockwall Financial stopped providing its services as the
manager of the Lincoln run-off. Rockwall Financial notified Kingsway that it
was terminating the Run-off Management Agreement, because, it claimed,
Kingsway had not made certain payments to Rockwall Financial and had otherwise
breached the Run-off Management Agreement. Shortly before Rockwall Financial's
unilateral decision to stop providing services to support Lincoln, Rockwall
Financial had entered into a settlement agreement to dispose of pending
litigation between Rockwall Financial and Lincoln in which Rockwall Financial
received payments and a release. In that litigation, Lincoln had alleged,
among other things, that Rockwall Financial had engaged in self-dealing and
other misconduct while serving as the Lincoln run-off manager.
	    Rockwall Financial then served upon Kingsway a demand for arbitration,
claiming that Kingsway had breached the Run-off Management Agreement, and
sought damages in excess of $26 million. Kingsway intends to defend the
arbitration vigorously. As part of its defense of the matter, Kingsway intends
to show that Rockwall Financial did not meet its obligations under the Run-off
Management Agreement, abandoning the Lincoln run-off without cause. Kingsway
may argue that Rockwall Financial breached the Run-off Management Agreement
and, as a result, is not entitled to the sums it demands. Kingsway has
reserved its rights to argue that Rockwall Financial was guilty of willful
misconduct and/or gross negligence.
	    The Company is also the defendant in two separate breach of contract
suits filed by two former employees.

	    Liquidity and Capital Resources

	    During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the cash used in operating
activities were $74.8 million and $46.4 million, respectively. The Company's
insurance subsidiaries fund their obligations primarily through the premium
and investment income and maturities in the securities portfolio.
	    Certain debentures issued by the Company contain negative covenants in
their trust indentures, placing limitations and restrictions over certain
actions without the prior written consent of the indenture trustees. Included
in the negative covenants is the limitation on the incurrence of additional
debt in the event that the total debt to total capital ratio or the senior
debt to total capital ratio exceed 50% and 35%, respectively. The total debt
is calculated on a pro-forma basis taking into account the issuance of
additional debt. The debentures also include covenants limiting the issuance
and sale of voting stock of restricted subsidiaries, the payment of dividends
or any other payment in respect of capital stock of the Company, or the
retirement of debt subordinate to the debentures covered by the trust
indentures if, after giving effect to such payments as described in the trust
indentures, the total debt to total capital ratio exceeds 50%.
	    As at March 31, 2010 the Company's total debt to capital and senior debt
to capital ratios were 59.7% and 38.8% respectively. As a result, the
limitations and restrictions described above are currently applicable. The
Board of Directors is considering alternatives to reduce these ratios to
remove the limitations and restrictions in place.
	    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 the Company are inadequate to service its
obligations, the Company would need to raise capital, sell assets or
restructure its debt obligations.
	    On June 26, 2009, KFS Capital LLC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Company, 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$12.00 in cash. The
KLROC Offer expired on Tuesday, August 4, 2009 and 694,015 units were
tendered. This tender was paid for using available cash.
	    The Company acquired ownership of 121,000 of the KLROC units outside of
the tender offer at an average price of C$ 10.45 per unit through a series of
purchases on the Toronto Stock Exchange. As a result of these acquisitions,
the Company beneficially owns and controls 833,715 units, representing
approximately 26.72% of the issued and outstanding units.
	    Subsequent to the Quarter end the Company announced that it intends to
commence an offer to purchase for cash up to a maximum of 750,000 of the KLROC
units, at a price per unit of C$17.50.
	    Kingsway 2007 General Partnership, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Company 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 provided 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 expired
Friday, August 14, 2009 with valid tenders (that were not withdrawn) of
C$9,174,000 in aggregate principal amount of Debentures. Kingsway 2007 General
Partnership accepted for purchase all such tendered Debentures at the highest
price specified of C$620 per C$1,000 principal amount. This tender was paid
for using available cash.
	    On March 29, 2010, as part of the closing of the Jevco sale transaction
the Company repurchased $36.9 million (C$37.5 million) of par value of the
"2012 Debentures" realizing a gain of $6.2 million. The Company also
repurchased $47.9 million of par value of the 7.50% senior notes due 2014
"2014 Debentures" realizing a gain of $9.5 million.
	    The Company announced on July 29, 2009 an amendment to its normal course
issuer bid for common shares had been approved by the Toronto Stock Exchange
("TSX"). The normal course issuer bid was originally announced by the Company
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,
were limited to 5,386,545 common shares, or 10% of the public float on
November 28, 2008. The normal course issue bid, as amended, terminated on
December 1, 2009. Under this normal course issuer bid, 3,472,700 shares were
repurchased at an average price of C$3.77.
	    As at March 31, 2010 the Company was adequately capitalized to support
the premium volume of the insurance subsidiaries.
	    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 March 31, 2010, all U.S. subsidiaries, are estimated to
be above the required RBC levels, with RBC ratio estimates ranging between
428% and 601%, and have estimated aggregate capital of approximately $80.4
million in excess of the 200% level. Effective January 1, 2010, the company
expanded its utilization of an existing intercompany pooling arrangement to
incorporate additional affiliated insurance entities. Under this agreement,
premiums, losses, acquisition costs and underwriting expenses are pooled and
then allocated to the members of the pool based upon predetermined
participation percentages. The current members of the pool along with their
corresponding participation percentage are as follows; Mendota Insurance
Company (30%), Mendakota Insurance Company (5%), American Service Insurance
Company (30%), American Country Insurance Company (15%), and Universal
Casualty Company (20%).
	    On October 19, 2009, the Company announced that its indirect wholly owned
subsidiary, Kingsway America Inc. ("KAI"), had disposed of its entire interest
in KAI's wholly owned subsidiary Walshire. Walshire is the sole shareholder of
Lincoln. All of the stock of Walshire has been donated to charity, and with
this disposition Lincoln ceased being a member of the Kingsway group of
companies.
	    The Pennsylvania Insurance Department ("DOI") has challenged the
disposition to charities of Walshire and its subsidiaries. On November 20,
2009, the DOI filed a complaint in the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania
("Commonwealth Court") against the Company, KAI and Walshire, seeking a
declaration that the disposition was unlawful and not valid. The Company
disagreed with the DOI's position and maintains that the donations of Walshire
shares to the charities were lawful and valid. On November 19, 2009, the day
before the DOI's complaint, the Company and KAI filed a complaint in the
Commonwealth Court against the DOI seeking a declaration that the statute upon
which the DOI principally relies did not apply to the donations. In response
to the Company's complaint, the DOI filed a New Matter (in essence, a
counterclaim). The Company has demurred to each of the claims in the DOI's
complaint, thereby putting the legal sufficiency of the DOI's claims at issue.
Subsequent to the quarter end, on April 1, 2010 the Commonwealth Court of
Pennsylvania dismissed all claims against the Company. The court sustained the
Company's objection to the action and rejected the arguments made by the DOI.
	    Subsequent to the quarter end, on April 30, 2010, the DOI filed a notice
of appeal to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court relating to the Commonwealth
Court's April 1, 2010 decision. The Company intends to oppose this appeal.
	    If the ultimate decision of the courts is unfavorable for the Company,
the control of Lincoln may revert back to the Company, which would result in
Lincoln's financial results being included in the Company's consolidated
financial statements. If the Commonwealth Court deems the transaction to be
invalid, it could ultimately lead to the Company being in breach of its public
debt covenants should Lincoln go into liquidation while still part of the
Company. The Company's public debt is material, and a breach in covenants
could lead to the debt being called and paid before maturity.
	    As part of the ongoing transformation program, during the second quarter
of 2009 the Company began terminating all related party reinsurance treaties.
As at September 30, 2009, all treaties between Kingsway Reinsurance
Corporation and the U.S. operating companies have been commuted. As noted
above, treaties between the Canadian operating companies and Kingsway
Reinsurance (Bermuda) Limited were commuted effective October 1, 2009. This
initiative has resulted in increased capital in our operating companies and it
has released excess capital from the captive reinsurers to be used for
corporate purposes.
	    As at September 30, 2009, following the commutation of all intercompany
reinsurance treaties between Kingsway Reinsurance Corporation and the
Company's U.S. operating subsidiaries, a significant portion of the remaining
capital at Kingsway Reinsurance Corporation was repatriated. A portion of this
capital was re-deployed directly into the U.S. operating subsidiaries and a
portion was held at the parent company for corporate purposes. The regulatory
capital remaining in Kingsway Reinsurance Corporation following the
commutation of all related party reinsurance treaties is below the amount
required under the Insurance Act of Barbados where Kingsway Reinsurance
Corporation is domiciled. The Company considers this situation to be temporary
as the calculation of the minimum capital required is based upon the premiums
of the previous calendar year when the level of underwriting activity was
significantly greater than those of the ongoing Barbados operation. This
situation has been communicated to the Office of the Supervisor of Insurance
in Barbados which has accepted the Company's commitment to resolve the
shortfall in 2010. At that time, the Company believes that the capital
available will exceed the capital required with no additional capital
required.
	    As at March 31, 2010, the capital maintained by Kingsway Reinsurance
(Bermuda) Limited was approximately $0.5 million in excess of the regulatory
capital requirements in Bermuda.

	    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 17(d) of the 2009 audited
consolidated annual financial statements and on page 25 of the 2009 Annual
Report. The Company has one other off-balance sheet financing arrangement as
described on page 25 of the 2009 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, as described on page 28 of the
2009 Annual Report.

	    Related Party Transactions

	    Related-party transactions, including services provided to or received by
the Company'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. For additional details, see
Note 13 of the financial statements.
	    On January 4, 2010, the Company and its subsidiary Kingsway America Inc.
acquired certain assets of Itasca Financial, LLC, a property and casualty
insurance industry advisory firm, owned and controlled by Mr.Swets, a former
director of the Company. The consideration for the assets purchased is equal
to $1.5 million cash and one million restricted common shares of the Company.
The value of the consideration paid was approximately $2.5 million at the time
of close.
	    Subsequent to the transaction, certain employees of Itasca are now
employees within the KAI group, including Mr. Swets.
	    In March 2009, the Company obtained a $20 million financing facility from
American Physicians Assurance Corporation ("AP Assurance") to allow for
specific capital initiatives. Two of the members of the Company's Board of
Directors also sit on the board of AP Assurance making it a related party. The
facility was at fair market terms and conditions. No funds were ever drawn on
this facility and it has expired. In the fourth quarter of 2009, a new $20
million facility was obtained from AP Assurance. This new facility was at fair
market terms and conditions. No funds were ever drawn on this facility and it
was terminated on February 25, 2010.
	    In March 2010, the Company signed an agreement with AP Assurance to
provide investment management and investment accounting services to the
Company, commencing April 1, 2010. This agreement is at fair market terms and
conditions.
	    In 2009, in addition to a previously agreed retainer of C$0.1 million,
the Board of Directors had decided to pay additional retainer payments of $0.4
million and C$0.1 million to the Chairman of the Board. Of these additional
amounts, in 2009, the Company had paid $0.2 million and C$0.1 million as at
March 31, 2010. In 2010, the remaining $0.2 million owing was paid.
	    In the first quarter of 2010, in addition to a previously agreed retainer
of C$0.2 million, the Board of Directors had decided to pay an additional $0.1
million to the Chairman of the Board. This additional payment was made
subsequent to the quarter end.

	    International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)

	    The discussion in this section is not significantly different than what
was disclosed on pages 30 to 35 in the Company's 2009 annual report as that
information provided a status update as of March 30, 2010. The Company's
transition towards International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") is on
track and progressing according to plan.

	    The Accounting Standards Board requires all Canadian public companies to
adopt International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") for the preparation
of financial statements for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1,
2011. Accordingly, the Company will report its financial results for the year
ending December 31, 2011 and its quarterly results commencing with the quarter
ending March 31, 2011 in accordance with IFRS. The Company will also report
comparative prior period results on an IFRS basis, including an opening
balance sheet as of January 1, 2010. As permitted by the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") the Company will not provide a reconciliation of
its IFRS reported results to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
("US GAAP") in its annual consolidated financial statements.
	    IFRS consist of the IFRS's, International Accounting Standards ("IAS"),
and interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting
Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC") or the former Standing Interpretations
Committee. IFRS uses a conceptual framework similar to that of Canadian GAAP,
but there are significant differences in recognition, measurement and
disclosures. These differences have been identified and will be addressed in
the course of implementing IFRS.
	    A formal IFRS Project Charter ("Project Charter") and an IFRS Project
Plan ("Project Plan") were prepared during the Initial Assessment Phase of the
Project, outlining the key elements and timing of the plan, and were both
approved by the IFRS Project Steering Committee and Audit Committee.
	    The Project Charter focuses on the purpose and objectives of the project,
expectations and deliverables to key stakeholders, project scope and approach,
milestone plan with completion criteria, date and deliverables, significant
project risks and mitigation actions, roles and responsibilities of the IFRS
Project Steering and Implementation Committees, project management, issue
resolution, and communication plan.
	    The project Plan is updated on a regular basis and tracked by the level
of completion of the detailed activities as shown below:

	    The entire project is expected to be completed by December 31, 2010.
	    Throughout the project the Company continues to monitor exposure drafts
and standards released by the International Accounting Standards Board and the
International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee.

	    <<
	    1.  IFRS 1: First-Time Adoption of IFRS
	        -----------------------------------
	    >>
	    IFRS 1, First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting
Standards ("IFRS 1") applies when an entity adopts IFRS for the first time.
IFRS 1 generally requires that an entity apply all IFRS effective at the end
of its first IFRS reporting period retrospectively. However, IFRS 1 does
require certain mandatory exceptions and permits limited optional exemptions
to full retrospective application of standards in force at a first-time
adopter's reporting date.
	    The following are the optional exemptions, that KFSI has elected at the
transition date of January 1, 2010, to apply prospectively, whose impact is
expected to be significant during preparation of the first financial
statements under IFRS:

	    <<
	        1. Business combinations
	           ---------------------

	        IFRS 1 permits a first-time adopter may elect not to apply IFRS 3,
	        Business Combinations retrospectively to business combinations that
	        occurred before the date of transition to IFRS. KFSI has elected this
	        exemption and will prospectively apply IFRS 3 to business
	        combinations from the transition date of January 1, 2010. The
	        classification and measurement of past business combinations will be
	        based on acquisition date values and the goodwill carrying amount
	        will be based on Canadian GAAP, subject to additional considerations
	        under IFRS 1, Appendix B.

	        2. Cumulative translation differences
	           ----------------------------------

	        International Accounting Standards ("IAS") 21, The Effects of Changes
	        in Foreign Exchange Rates, requires an entity to determine the
	        translation differences in accordance with IFRS from the date on
	        which a subsidiary was formed or acquired. IFRS 1 allows cumulative
	        translation differences for all foreign operations to be deemed zero
	        at the date of transition to IFRS, with future gains or losses on
	        subsequent disposal of any foreign operations to exclude translation
	        differences arising from periods prior to the date of transition to
	        IFRS. KFSI has elected to deem all cumulative translation differences
	        to zero on the transition date to IFRS. Cumulative translation
	        balance of $14.8 million will be deemed zero at December 31, 2009,
	        and the transition date will be the reference point for future
	        foreign entity disposals.

	        3. Designation of previously recognized financial instruments
	           ----------------------------------------------------------

	        An entity is permitted to designate at the date of transition any
	        financial asset as available for sale, or a financial instrument at
	        fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL) provided that the asset or
	        liability meets the criteria for such classification (IAS 39.9(b)
	        (i), (b) (ii) and (11A)). KFSI has elected to designate its senior
	        unsecured debentures at FVTPL. This comprises of a $125.0 million
	        note issued by Kingsway America Inc. due in 2014 and a C$100.0
	        million debenture offering by a general partnership of the company
	        due in 2012 of $97.6 million and $79.2 million respectively at
	        December 31, 2009. The debt is currently classified as other
	        financial liabilities and measured at amortized cost using the
	        effective interest rate method under Canadian GAAP. The FVTPL
	        election will firstly, reduce the accounting mismatch since the
	        majority of the fixed income securities portfolio, which share
	        interest rate risk with the debt liabilities, is classified as
	        available for sale and measured at fair value, and secondly because
	        the Kingsway debt is managed and evaluated on the basis of its fair
	        value. As a result of the above change in accounting policy, a
	        previously unrealized gain estimated at $73.3 million will be
	        recognized in the retained earnings on transition date to IFRS.
	        Subsequent gains or losses on fair valuation of the debt will be
	        recognized in the profit and loss account under IFRS. As a result of
	        gains recognized on the repurchase of senior indebtedness and the
	        appreciation in the market value of the Company's senior indebtedness
	        since the transition date the unrealized gain described above will
	        decline significantly following the transition date.
	    >>

	    KFSI has also elected the following IFRS 1 exemptions on transition date.
The impact has been determined not to be significant to the financial
statements on adoption of IFRS.

	    <<
	        -  Share-Based Payment Transactions: KFSI has elected to apply IFRS
	           2, Share Based Payments requirements for equity settled share
	           based payments prospectively from transition date. There is no
	           impact on the consolidated financial statements on transition date
	           resulting from this election.

	        -  Insurance Contracts: IFRS 1 election allows KFSI as a first-time
	           adopter to apply the transitional provisions of IFRS 4, Insurance
	           contracts. See 2(d) below.

	        -  Fair Value or Revaluation as Deemed Costs: IFRS 1 election was
	           made to apply fair value deemed cost on transition date for self
	           constructed property. The fair value of the self constructed
	           property was determined on transition date, and approximated the
	           carrying value. There is no significant financial impact as a
	           result of this election as the fair value approximated the
	           carrying value on transition date.

	        -  Leases: IFRS 1 election allows a first time adopter to determine
	           whether an arrangement existing at the date of transition to IFRSs
	           contains a lease on the basis of facts and circumstances existing
	           at that date. Based on assessment performed in the IAS 17 Leases
	           Position Paper, as the Company adopted EIC-150 on January 1, 2005,
	           which is substantially equivalent to IFRIC 4, no new arrangements
	           which may contain a lease where identified, and there is no
	           impact.

	        -  Investments in Subsidiaries, Jointly Controlled Entities and
	           Associates: KFSI has elected the IFRS 1 exemption to present
	           investment in subsidiaries based on Canadian GAAP carrying value,
	           in the separate financial statements, as the deemed cost under
	           IFRS on transition date.

	    2.  Accounting Impact Analysis
	        --------------------------
	    >>
	    During the Detailed Assessment Phase- Phase 2, an IFRS Accounting Impact
Matrix was prepared, analyzing IFRS/ Canadian GAAP accounting differences, and
the expected impact on the Company and its subsidiaries on adoption of IFRS.
Based on the IFRS standards expected to have a significant impact on the
Company and its subsidiaries, Position Papers were prepared to individually
assess the financial, process, internal controls, information systems and
people impact of each selected standard on the Company on adoption of IFRS.
The quantification of the financial impact is in progress.
	    Highlighted below are the standards expected to have a significant impact
on adoption of IFRS by the Company and its subsidiaries:

	    <<
	        a) Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements

	        IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements requires that a
	        parent shall consolidate its investments in subsidiaries using the
	        control model. The Company recognizes entities in which it is not
	        considered to be the primary beneficiary as variable interest
	        entities (VIE), under Canadian GAAP, which entities are therefore not
	        consolidated. Applying the control model under IAS 27 and SIC 12
	        Special Purpose Entities, Kingsway ROC GP and Kingsway ROC LLC whose
	        shares are wholly owned by the Company and Kingsway Linked Return on
	        Capital (K- LROC) and Kingsway Note Trust (KN Trust) qualify as
	        subsidiaries and SPEs respectively, which will be consolidated on
	        adoption of IFRS. The Company is in the process of quantifying the
	        financial impact of consolidating the additional entities on adoption
	        of IFRS. The consolidation model will therefore be updated on
	        adoption of IFRS to accommodate additional subsidiaries and SPEs
	        under IFRS. Controls have been designed over the identification
	        process of intercompany transactions with subsidiaries that will be
	        consolidated for the first time under IFRS.

	        IAS 27 also requires that a group uses uniform accounting policies
	        for reporting like transactions and other events in similar
	        circumstances, which will require the harmonization of accounting
	        policies and the chart of accounts across the group on adoption of
	        IFRS. Controls have been designed to ensure that the accounting
	        policy differences within the group are appropriately dealt with, and
	        the harmonized policies communicated across the group.

	        b) Investment property

	        IAS 40 Investment Property requires that land or a building, or part
	        of a building, or both held by the owner or by the lessee under a
	        finance lease to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both is
	        classified as an investment property. The Company and its
	        subsidiaries own properties which are partially leased to third
	        parties and owner occupied, and as the leased portions could be
	        separately sold or leased out under a finance lease, IAS 40 requires
	        that they are separately accounted for as investment property under
	        IAS 40 or property under IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment. On
	        adoption of IFRS, the Company will therefore reclassify the leased
	        portions to investment properties and the owner occupied portions of
	        the properties will be classified as property under IAS 16.

	        After the transition date, the Company will continue to subsequently
	        measure investment properties on a cost basis and depreciation will
	        be determined using the straight line basis. Fair valuation of
	        investment properties will also be performed on transition date and
	        periodically thereafter, for disclosure purposes in the IFRS
	        financial statements as required by IAS 40.

	        During the Implementation Phase, system changes will be required
	        including the creation of new general ledger accounts and mapping of
	        the accounts to the financial statements to accommodate the new class
	        of assets under IFRS. The fair value appraisal will be conducted by a
	        qualified appraiser and controls have been designed over the inputs
	        and review of outputs of the appraiser.

	        c) Insurance contracts

	        IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts allows insurers adopting IFRS to continue
	        with their existing accounting policies. IFRS also permits entities
	        to continue to apply their existing policies for measuring insurance
	        liabilities, subject to a liability adequacy test. Based on the
	        qualitative and quantitative assessment done in the Position Paper,
	        the impact on adoption of IFRS 4 is not significant.

	        IFRS 4 introduces new disclosures, which will be included in the
	        Company's financial statements on adoption of IFRS. These include
	        disclosures of insurance risk sensitivity, surrounding the nature and
	        extent of risks arising from its insurance contracts, and showing the
	        impact on profit or loss and equity if changes in the relevant risk
	        variables that were reasonably possible at the end of the reporting
	        period had occurred, and the methods and assumptions used in
	        preparing the sensitivity analysis. New disclosures also include
	        concentration of insurance risk, detailing management's basis of
	        determining insurance risk concentration and a description of the
	        shared characteristics identifying each concentration. In determining
	        insurance risk sensitivity and concentration, the Company will
	        implement additional monitoring controls over the use of estimates
	        and end user computing processes.

	        IFRS 4 also disallows off setting of insurance liabilities against
	        related insurance assets as well as income and expenses which are
	        offset from reinsurance amounts.

	        d) Impairment of Assets

	        IAS 36 requires that intangible assets with indefinite lives are
	        tested for impairment on the transition date and annually going
	        forward, by comparing the carrying value with the recoverable amount
	        irrespective of whether there is an indication that it is impaired,
	        whereas under Canadian GAAP, an evaluation was performed whenever
	        events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may
	        not be recoverable. The Company will therefore perform a full
	        impairment test by determining the recoverable value of an asset
	        under IFRS based on the higher of fair value less costs to sell or
	        value in use. The value in use of an asset will be based on
	        discounted cash flows under IFRS.

	        At December 31, 2009, KFSI had intangible assets with indefinite
	        useful lives with a carrying value of $10.1 million. The Company is
	        in the process of performing the impairment test for intangible
	        assets on transition date based on IAS 36 requirements.

	        Based on the expected process changes above on adoption of IAS 36,
	        the system will be modified to track the history of impairment losses
	        arising on an individual asset basis- if any, and the impairment
	        model will also be updated to apply discounted cash flows to
	        determine the value in use of an asset under IFRS. Controls will be
	        put in place for the appropriate selection of the discount rate and
	        over tracking of impairments by asset in the event that an impairment
	        charge is reversed.

	        e) Property, Plant and Equipment

	        IAS 16 requires that each part of an item of property, plant and
	        equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to total cost
	        of the item shall be depreciated separately. An analysis completed in
	        the first quarter 2010 of the usefully lives of components of
	        buildings was performed and the impact of separately depreciating the
	        components was determined to be immaterial. Accordingly depreciation
	        will continue under the current method.

	        f) Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

	        Included in Liabilities Held for Sale at December 31, 2009 was a
	        deferred gain of C$0.8 million related to a sale and leaseback of
	        property owned by the Jevco subsidiary. The lease is an operating
	        lease. IAS 17 requires that the gain be recognized in profit or loss
	        at the date of the transaction. Accordingly the gain will be credited
	        to retained earnings in our opening balance sheet.

	        g) Share-Based Payment Transactions

	        IFRS 2 Share Based Payment s requires that forfeitures of equity
	        settled share based payments which have been granted, are estimated
	        upfront and re-estimated each period based on actual experience to
	        determine the compensation expense over the vesting period. The
	        Company will therefore change its basis of determining the estimate,
	        which is currently based on actual forfeitures at period end over the
	        vesting period. There will be no financial impact over the vesting
	        period of the granted shares, although the estimated periodic
	        compensation expense may differ from the current accounting policy.

	        On adoption of IFRS, each of the Company's subsidiaries, whose
	        employees participate in the Kingsway Financial Stock Option
	        Incentive Plan in which the parent company grants rights to its
	        shares, to employees of its subsidiaries, will each recognize the
	        corresponding compensation benefit for its employees, and a
	        corresponding increase in equity as a contribution from the parent
	        Company in accordance with IFRIC 11 Group and Treasury shares
	        transactions. There will be no impact on the consolidated financial
	        statements. Change management controls will be required over the
	        accounting for the stock options at subsidiary level.

	        h) Presentation of financial statements

	        The Company has made additional accounting policy choices as a result
	        of adoption of IFRS which will affect the disclosures in the
	        financial statements, among which is the accounting policy choice for
	        an entity to present its expenses either by nature or function on the
	        face of the Statement of Comprehensive Income. The Company will
	        present its expenses by nature, which is deemed to provide more
	        relevant information as an insurance company. This will result in
	        significant changes to the current mapping of the general ledger to
	        the financial statements and appropriate controls will be
	        implemented.

	    3.  Impact on processes, information systems and controls
	        -----------------------------------------------------
	    >>
	    While new processes, internal controls and modifications to the existing
information systems have been identified in the respective IFRS Position
Papers, and plans are also underway to implement the changes arising from the
new accounting policies selected under IFRS, except as described above, the
Company has determined that the other changes to its current accounting,
information systems or its processes as a result of the conversion to IFRS
will not be significant.
	    In the Position papers, the Company identified the processes and
information systems changes which will be required as a result of adoption of
IFRS. Proposed internal controls have been designed as part of the Position
Papers analysis, to mitigate the risks arising from the process and
information systems changes and to also ensure the internal control over
financial reporting is robust. The process and internal controls changes
resulting from adoption of IFRS have been identified in the respective
Position Papers and will be formally documented and updated as the project
progresses. Internal controls which have been designed to address the changes
in processes as a result of adoption of IFRS are expected to be implemented
and evaluated during Phase 4 Implementation Phase, of the project.
	    Regular Steering Committee meetings attended by various members of
management are held to communicate, review the project progress and
deliverables. The Audit Committee continues to provide oversight to the IFRS
project, and reviews the project status periodically. To date, the group's
IFRS 1 elections and IFRS accounting policy choices have been approved by both
the Steering and Audit Committees.

	    <<
	    4.  Financial reporting expertise, including training requirements
	        --------------------------------------------------------------
	    >>
	    Initial education and training sessions on the adoption of IFRS, have
been communicated to the Company's finance and accounting staff. A training
program has been prepared for more detailed sessions across the group to be
held within the Solutions Development and Implementation Phases of the
project. This will focus among others, on the Company's IFRS policy choices,
and the changes to the existing procedures and controls as a result of
adopting IFRS. An additional IFRS Resource was also contracted to provide
additional support to the in-house management team. Current resources are
deemed appropriate to satisfactorily carry out the project to completion.

	    <<
	    5.  Future Modifications to IFRS
	        ----------------------------
	    >>
	    The IAS is in process of modifying current standards and is expected to
issue new standards in the coming months. The Company will continue to review
proposed and issued standards and interpretations. The impact of these changes
on the Company's business activities cannot be quantified at this date.

	    Disclosure of Outstanding Share Data

	    As at March 31, 2010, the Company had 52,095,828 common shares
outstanding and there have been no changes up to the reporting date.

	    These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been
	    prepared by management in accordance with Canadian generally accepted

	    used for the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year
	    ended December 31, 2009. These interim consolidated financial statements
	    do not contain all disclosures required by Canadian GAAP and accordingly
	    should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated
	    financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 as set out on
	    pages 51 to 106 of the Company's 2009 Annual Report.

	    NOTE 2 Changes in Accounting Policies

	    There were no new accounting policies adopted in the first quarter of the
	    current fiscal year.

	    NOTE 3 Discontinued Operations

	    States segment, and Jevco, Kingsway General Insurance Company ("KGIC")
	    and York Fire, previously disclosed as part of the Canadian segment, have

	    Walshire:

	    In May 2009, the Company placed all of Lincoln into voluntary run-off.
	    After that date Lincoln continued to experience losses from unfavourable
	    reserve development. The result of Lincoln's operational losses greatly
	    reduced the Company's capital flexibility and created the potential of
	    the Company breaching the covenants in its trust indentures. These
	    ongoing losses also contributed to the financial strength rating
	    downgrades of all operating companies.

	    On October 19, 2009, with the objective of protecting the interests of
	    the Company's stakeholders, Kingsway America Inc. ("KAI"), an indirect
	    wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, disposed of its entire interest
	    in its wholly owned subsidiary, Walshire. Walshire is the sole
	    shareholder of Lincoln. All of the stock of Walshire has been donated to
	    charities, and with this disposition Lincoln ceases being a member of the
	    Kingsway group of companies.

	    The Pennsylvania Insurance Department ("DOI") has challenged the
	    disposition of Lincoln. On November 20, 2009, DOI filed a complaint in
	    the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania ("Commonwealth Court") against the
	    Company, KAI and Walshire, seeking a declaration that the disposition was
	    unlawful and not valid. The Company disagreed with the DOI's position and
	    maintains that the donations of Walshire shares to the charities were
	    lawful and valid. On November 19, 2009, the day before the DOI's
	    complaint, the Company and KAI filed a complaint in the Commonwealth
	    Court against the DOI seeking a declaration that the statute upon which
	    the DOI principally relies did not apply to the donations. In response to
	    the Company's complaint, the DOI filed a New Matter (in essence, a
	    Counterclaim). The Company has demurred to each of the claims in the
	    DOI's complaint, thereby putting the legal sufficiency of the DOI's
	    claims at issue. The demurrers were argued to a panel of the Commonwealth
	    Court on February 9, 2010. Subsequent to the quarter end, on April 1,
	    2010, the Commonwealth Court dismissed all claims against the Company.
	    The Commonwealth Court sustained the Company's objection to the action
	    and rejected the arguments made by the DOI. Subsequent to the quarter
	    end, on April 30, 2010, the DOI filed a notice of appeal to the
	    Pennsylvania Supreme Court relating to the April 1, 2010 decision. The
	    Company intends to oppose this appeal.

	    If the ultimate decision of the courts is unfavorable for the Company,
	    the control of Lincoln may revert back to the Company, which would result
	    in Lincoln's financial results being included in the Company's
	    consolidated financial statements. If the Pennsylvania Supreme Court or a
	    higher court deems the transaction to be invalid, it could ultimately
	    lead to the Company being in breach of its public debt covenants should
	    Lincoln go into liquidation while still part of the Company. The
	    Company's public debt is material, and a breach in covenants could lead
	    to the debt being called and paid before maturity.

	    The Company's commitment to the DOI to provide a $10.0 million cash
	    payment to Lincoln was paid in 2009. The Company also has continuing
	    obligations on reinsurance agreements with Lincoln which are at market
	    terms and conditions. These ongoing obligations are not significant and
	    do not provide the Company with any control or significant influence over
	    the operating activities or financial results of Lincoln.

	    On June 29, 2009, Kingsway and Lincoln entered into an agreement with
	    Rockwall Financial Advisors, LLC ("Rockwall Financial"). Pursuant to that
	    agreement (the "Run-off Management Agreement"), Rockwall Financial was to
	    serve as the run-off manager for Lincoln. In addition to base
	    compensation of $1.3 million annually, the agreement provides for a
	    minimum of $2.5 million to be paid to Rockwall Financial no later than
	    March 1, 2014, provided the contract is not terminated by Kingsway or
	    Lincoln for cause. As a result of the October 19, 2009 disposition of
	    Lincoln, in 2009, the Company had accrued $3.2 million for the base
	    compensation and the additional $2.5 million compensation for a total
	    compensation of $5.7 million as at March 31, 2010.

	    In March 2010, Rockwall Financial stopped providing its services as the
	    manager of the Lincoln run-off. Rockwall Financial notified Kingsway that
	    it was terminating the Run-off Management Agreement, because, it claimed,
	    Kingsway had not made certain payments to Rockwall Financial and had
	    otherwise breached the Run-off Management Agreement. Shortly before
	    Rockwall Financial's unilateral decision to stop providing services to
	    support Lincoln, Rockwall Financial had entered into a settlement
	    agreement to dispose of pending litigation between Rockwall Financial and
	    Lincoln in which Rockwall Financial received payments and a release. In
	    that litigation, Lincoln had alleged, among other things, that Rockwall
	    Financial had engaged in self-dealing and other misconduct while serving
	    as the Lincoln run-off manager.

	    Rockwall Financial then served upon Kingsway a demand for arbitration,
	    claiming that Kingsway had breached the Run-off Management Agreement, and
	    sought damages in excess of $26 million. Kingsway intends to defend the
	    arbitration vigorously. As part of its defense of the matter, Kingsway
	    intends to show that Rockwall Financial did not meet its obligations
	    under the Run-off Management Agreement, abandoning the Lincoln run-off
	    without cause. Kingsway may argue that Rockwall Financial breached the
	    Run-off Management Agreement and, as a result, is not entitled to the
	    sums it demands.

	    At September 30, 2009, the total investment in Walshire was written down
	    to nil. After taking into account the operating loss of Lincoln from
	    October 1 to 19, 2009, factoring in realized investment gains and the
	    write down of net assets, a net gain on disposal of $1.4 million was
	    recorded and included in discontinued operations. The results of Lincoln
	    from January 1 to October 19, 2009, the aggregate of the write-down of
	    the investment in Walshire and the $10.0 million cash payment have been
	    included in the income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes
	    line item in the Company's consolidated statement of operations for the
	    year ended December 31, 2009.

	    The Company's revenues from discontinued operations relating to Walshire
	    were nil and $68.2 million in the first quarters of 2010 and 2009
	    respectively. In total, the Company's loss from discontinued operations
	    relating to Walshire, net of taxes was $2.7 million and $42.0 million in
	    first quarters of 2010 and 2009 respectively.

	    At the date of disposition, the securities, other non-cash assets and
	    total liabilities of Walshire were $649.1 million, $322.7 million and
	    $889.3 million respectively.

	    Zephyr:

	    On October 30, 2009, the Company completed its previously announced sale
	    of Zephyr, a specialty property insurance company founded specifically to
	    protect Hawaii homeowners and residents from catastrophic loss due to
	    hurricanes, for $31.5 million plus a settlement of pre-closing earnings
	    and other post closing adjustments of $4.5 million.

	    As a result of the disposal, the Company recognized an after tax gain of
	    $2.9 million during 2009. The Company's revenues from discontinued
	    operations relating to Zephyr were nil and $3.6 million in the first
	    quarters of 2010 and 2009 respectively. In total, the Company's income
	    from discontinued operations relating to Zephyr, net of taxes were nil
	    and $2.2 million in the first quarters of 2010 and 2009 respectively.

	    Avalon:

	    On October 9, 2009, specific assets of Avalon were sold for $1.5 million
	    pursuant to an Asset Purchase agreement with FMG Specialty Insurance
	    Agency LLC. The agreement also included a transition services agreement.

	    As a result of the disposal, the Company recognized an after tax gain of
	    $1.0 million during 2009. The Company wrote down the remaining associated
	    intangible assets of $1.6 million. The Company's revenues from
	    discontinued operations relating to Avalon were nil and $3.6 million in
	    the first quarters of 2010 and 2009 respectively. In total, the Company's
	    income from discontinued operations relating to Avalon, net of taxes were
	    nil and nil in the first quarters of 2010 and 2009 respectively.

	    Canadian Operations:

	    As a result of the Company's ongoing strategic initiatives, on October 1,
	    2009, Jevco assumed the assets and liabilities of KGIC, a wholly owned
	    Canadian subsidiary of the Company.

	    On November 20, 2009, the Company was advised by A. M. Best Company
	    ("A. M. Best") that the financial strength rating for Jevco was
	    downgraded from "B" to "B-". On November 23, 2009, as a result of A.M.
	    Best's downgrade of Jevco's financial strength rating, the Company
	    undertook to dispose of its majority interest in Jevco.

	    On January 25, 2010, the Company entered into a definitive purchase
	    agreement with The Westaim Corporation ("Westaim") to sell all of the
	    issued and outstanding shares of Jevco to Westaim. On March 29, 2010,
	    after receipt of all required regulatory approvals, the sale was
	    completed for a purchase price of C$263.3 million. This was based on
	    94.5% of the difference between the book value of Jevco as at December
	    31, 2009 and a dividend of C$10.8 million, an investment portfolio
	    adjustment relating to the change in market value at the closing date and
	    is subject to certain future contingent adjustments. The contingent
	    adjustments include up to C$20.0 million decrease in the purchase price
	    relating to specific future adverse claims development to be determined
	    at the end of 2012. The Company also has the option to sell a property
	    that was included in the purchase agreement. The purchase price will
	    decrease if the sale price of the property is less than its carrying
	    value, up to a maximum of approximately C$6.3 million. The purchase price
	    will increase by 94.5% of every dollar that the sale price exceeds the
	    carrying value. C$27.5 million of the proceeds from the Jevco sale is
	    being held in escrow until these contingent adjustments are finalized.
	    Subsequent to the quarter end, on April 2, 2010, the Company entered an
	    agreement to sell the property for approximately its carrying value. The
	    sale of the property is expected to be completed in the second quarter of
	    2010.

	    As a result of the disposal of Jevco, the Company realized an after tax
	    gain of $32.5 million in the first quarter of 2010. Included in this gain
	    is a $34.1 million foreign currency exchange gain previously recorded in
	    accumulated other comprehensive income and now recognized as a result of
	    the disposal of Jevco in 2010.

	    In 2009, given that the purchase price of Jevco was less than its net
	    book value, it was determined that the goodwill relating to the Canadian
	    operating segment was fully impaired. As a result, the Company recorded
	    in operating income a non-cash goodwill impairment charge relating to the
	    Canadian operations of $6.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2009.

	    The Company's revenues from discontinued operations relating to the
	    Canadian Operations were $84.9 million and $79.7 million in the first
	    quarters of 2010 and 2009 respectively. In total, the Company's income
	    from discontinued operations relating to the Canadian Operations, net of
	    taxes were $43.6 million, and a loss of $9.1 million in the first
	    quarters of 2010 and 2009 respectively.

	    At the date of disposition, the securities, other non-cash assets and
	    total liabilities of Jevco were $909.4 million, $248.7 million and
	    $913.6 million respectively.

	    Due to covenant restrictions associated with the sale of restricted
	    subsidiaries under the Kingsway America Inc., 7.50% senior notes and the
	    Kingsway 2007 General Partnership, 6.00% senior unsecured debentures, the
	    Company was required to lower its applicable ratios to a level where the
	    restrictions would no longer apply. The Company entered into a series of
	    contingent trades which were completed on March 30, 2010, whereby the
	    Company repurchased $84.8 million of par value of the senior unsecured
	    debentures. The repurchase resulted in a gain of $15.1 million gain, is
	    recorded in the first quarter of 2010.

	    York Fire:

	    On September 30, 2008, the Company sold York Fire, a primarily standard
	    insurance writer, to La Capitale General Insurance Inc. for C$95 million
	    in cash. The final settlement was completed in the first quarter of 2009
	    and the adjustments were reflected accordingly. The Company's revenues
	    from discontinued operations relating to York Fire were nil and
	    $(0.2) million in the first quarters of 2010 and 2009 respectively. In
	    total, the Company's loss from discontinued operations relating to York
	    Fire, net of taxes were nil and $3.8 million in the first quarters of
	    2010 and 2009 respectively.

	    NOTE 4 Stock-based Compensation
	    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

	    Per share value of options granted during the quarter was C$1.55. Per
	    share value of options granted in March 2009 were C$0.45 and C$0.97. 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 March 31:

	    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
	    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

	    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.

	    In the first quarter 2010, the Company recognized a reversal of
	    compensation expense as a result of forfeited options of $1.7 million
	    compared to $1.1 million for the same quarter in 2009.

	    NOTE 5 Segmented Information
	    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

	    The Company provides property and casualty insurance. Previously, the
	    Company managed these businesses in three reportable segments, Canada,
	    the United States and Corporate. As a result of implementing its
	    corporate restructuring plan, exiting non-core business and the sale of
	    its remaining Canadian operations, the Company now manages its business
	    in the following three segments: the United States, Business in Run-off
	    and Corporate. The United States segment consists of U.S. operations and
	    includes transactions with one of the Company's reinsurance subsidiaries.
	    The business in Run-off is comprised of the Southern United Fire
	    Insurance Company Inc. business. 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.

	    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. The analysis includes some or all of the following procedures
	    as deemed appropriate by management:

	    -   identifying all security holdings in unrealized loss positions that
	        have existed for at least six months or other circumstances that
	        management believes may impact the recoverability of the security;
	    -   obtaining a valuation analysis from third party investment managers
	        regarding the intrinsic value of these holdings based on their
	        knowledge, experience and other market based valuation techniques;
	    -   reviewing the trading range of certain securities over the preceding
	        calendar period;
	    -   assessing if declines in market value are other than temporary for
	        debt security holdings based on their investment grade credit ratings
	        from third party security rating agencies;
	    -   assessing if declines in market value are other than temporary for
	        any debt security holding with non-investment grade credit rating
	        based on the continuity of its debt service record;
	    -   determining the necessary provision for declines in market value that
	        are considered other than temporary based on the analyses performed;
	    -   assessing the Company's ability and intent to hold these securities
	        at least until the investment impairment is recovered. The risks and
	        uncertainties inherent in the assessment methodology utilized to
	        determine declines in market value that are other than temporary
	        include, but may not be limited to, the following:
	        -  the opinion of professional investment managers could be
	           incorrect;
	        -  the past trading patterns of individual securities may not reflect
	           future valuation trends;
	        -  the credit ratings assigned by independent credit rating agencies
	           may be incorrect due to unforeseen or unknown facts related to a
	           Company's financial situation; and
	    -   the debt service pattern of non-investment grade securities may not
	        reflect future debt service capabilities and may not reflect the
	        Company's unknown underlying financial problems.

	    As a result of the above analysis performed by management to determine
	    declines in market value that are other than temporary, there were nil
	    write downs for other-than-temporary impairments for the quarter ended
	    March 31, 2010 compared to $0.2 million for the same period last year.

	    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 March 31 is comprised as
	    follows:

	    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
	    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

	    The decrease in interest income on short term securities for the quarter
	    and year to date is primarily due to a significant reduction in short
	    term interest rates in the U.S. in the current year compared to the same
	    periods last year. The decrease in interest on bonds for the three months
	    March 31, 2010 compared to the same periods last year is partially due to
	    a reduction in short-term yields described above. A smaller fixed income
	    securities portfolio as a result of a reduction in premiums written has
	    also contributed to the lower interest income on bonds in the quarter and
	    year to date in the U.S.

	    Dividend income has declined for the three month March 31, 2010 compared
	    to the same periods last year due to the disposition of the common share
	    equity portfolio in the first quarter of 2009.

	    For the three months ended March 31, 2010, Other income includes a loss
	    of $3.9 million on the revaluation of Canadian dollar denominated debt
	    held by the Company due to the impact of the strengthening of the
	    Canadian dollar.

	    Net realized gains for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 were $0.5 million
	    compared to a net realized loss of $2.2 million for the quarter ended
	    March 31, 2009.

	    NOTE 7 Financial Instruments
	    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

	    Risk Management

	    The Company's risk management policies and practices are described on
	    pages 9 to 10, 36 to 44 and 68 to 72 of the Company's 2009 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 at March 31, 2010, 97.0% of the fixed income portfolio is rated 'A' or
	    better. Changes in this balance period over period are primarily due to
	    timing of investment maturities and reinvestment.

	    Market risk:

	    The market risk exposure of the Company consists mainly of changes in
	    interest rates and equity prices and to a smaller extent, to foreign
	    currency exchange rates. Market risk is subject to risk management. The
	    Investment Committee of the Board and senior management of the Company
	    monitor the Company's market risk exposures and activities that give rise
	    to these exposures.

	    Interest rate risk:

	    The Company is exposed to changes in the value of its fixed income
	    securities to the extent that market interest rates change. The Company
	    actively manages its interest rate exposure with the objective of
	    enhancing net interest income within established risk tolerances and
	    Board approved investment policies. Because most of the securities
	    portfolio is comprised of fixed income securities that are usually held
	    to maturity, 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 $14.8 million at March 31,
	    2010, representing 3.1% of the $468.2 million fair value fixed income
	    securities portfolio.

	    Computation of the prospective effect of hypothetical interest rate
	    changes are based on numerous assumptions, including maintenance of the
	    existing levels and composition of fixed income security assets at the
	    indicated date and should not be relied on as indicative of future
	    results. The analysis is done on the following assumptions:

	    (a) the securities in the Company's portfolio are not impaired;
	    (b) credit and liquidity risks have not been considered;
	    (c) interest rates and equity prices move independently; and
	    (d) shifts in the yield curve are parallel.

	    Available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position as reflected
	    in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, may at some point in the
	    future be realized through a sale or impairment.

	    Foreign currency risk:

	    The Company is exposed to changes in the U.S. to Canadian dollar foreign
	    currency exchange rate, primarily through Canadian dollar indebtedness.
	    It does not hedge any of this foreign currency exposure. Its U.S.
	    operations generally hold their investments in U.S. dollar denominated
	    securities, and the Canadian operations in Canadian dollar denominated
	    securities. A one cent appreciation in the value of the Canadian dollar
	    relative to the U.S. dollar decreases net income before income taxes by
	    approximately $0.9 million.

	    Liquidity and cash flow risk:

	    Liquidity risk is the risk of having insufficient cash resources to meet
	    current financial obligations without raising funds at unfavorable rates
	    or selling assets on a forced basis. Liquidity risk arises from general
	    business activities and in the course of managing the assets and
	    liabilities. There is the risk of loss to the extent that the sale of a
	    security prior to its maturity is required to provide liquidity to
	    satisfy policyholder and other cash outflows. Cash flow risk arises from
	    risk that future inflation of policyholder cash flow exceeds returns on
	    long-dated investment securities. The purpose of liquidity and cash flow
	    management is to ensure that there is sufficient cash to meet all
	    financial commitments and obligations as they fall due. The liquidity and
	    cash flow requirements of the Company's business have been met primarily
	    by funds generated from operations, asset maturities and income and other
	    returns received on securities as well as the sale of certain operations.
	    Cash provided from these sources is used primarily for claims and claim
	    adjustment expense payments and operating expenses. The timing and amount
	    of catastrophe claims are inherently unpredictable and may create
	    increased liquidity requirements. To meet these cash requirements, the
	    Company has policies to limit and monitor its exposure to individual
	    issuers or related groups and to ensure that assets and liabilities are
	    broadly matched in terms of their duration and currency. The Company
	    believes that it has the flexibility to obtain, from internal sources the
	    funds needed to fulfill the cash requirements during the current
	    financial year and also to satisfy regulatory capital requirements.

	    The Company holds $230.3 million in cash and high grade short-term
	    assets, representing approximately 34% of invested assets. The majority
	    of the other fixed income securities are also liquid.

	    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 March 31, 2010, bonds and term deposits with an
	    estimated fair value of $31.2 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 March 31, 2010, the amount of such
	    pledged securities was $5.7 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 uses fair value hierarchy to categorize the inputs used in
	    valuation techniques to measure fair value. The extent of the Company's
	    use of quoted market prices (Level 1), internal models using observable
	    market information as inputs (Level 2) and internal models without

	    NOTE 8 Capital Management
	    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

	    As a holding company, the Company derives cash from its subsidiaries
	    generally in the form of dividends and management fees to meet its
	    obligations, which primarily consist of interest payments. The Company's
	    insurance subsidiaries fund their obligations primarily through the
	    premium and investment income and maturities in the securities portfolio.
	    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
	    the holding company are inadequate to service its obligations, the
	    Company would need to raise capital, sell assets or restructure its debt
	    obligations.

	    The Company did not pay any dividends on common shares in the first
	    quarter of 2010 as compared to $0.9 million for the same period last
	    year. The Company suspended its dividends in the second quarter of 2009.

	    The Company has continued to experience losses. The reduction in
	    shareholders' equity as a result of these ongoing losses has reduced the
	    Company's capital flexibility by triggering negative covenants in its
	    trust indentures and limiting the dividend capacity of the operating
	    subsidiaries. Certain debentures issued by the Company contain negative
	    covenants in their trust indentures, placing limitations and restrictions
	    over certain actions without the prior written consent of the indenture
	    trustees. Included in the negative covenants is the limitation on the
	    incurrence of additional debt in the event that the total debt to total
	    capital ratio or the senior debt to total capital ratio exceed 50% and
	    35%, respectively. The total debt is calculated on a pro-forma basis
	    taking into account the issuance of additional debt. The debentures also
	    include covenants limiting the issuance and sale of voting stock of
	    restricted subsidiaries, the payment of dividends or any other payment in
	    respect of capital stock of the Company, or the retirement of debt
	    subordinate to the debentures covered by the trust indentures if, after
	    giving effect to such payments as described in the trust indentures, the
	    total debt to total capital ratio exceeds 50%.

	    As at March 31, 2010 the Company's total debt to capital and senior debt
	    to capital ratios were 59.7% and 38.8% respectively. As a result, the
	    limitations and restrictions described above are currently applicable.
	    The Company continues to explore opportunities to buy back debt in the
	    market in order to reduce the debt to capital ratios below the level at
	    which these operating restrictions apply, while ensuring that the debt
	    covenants are fully complied with. Pursuant to the debt buyback
	    initiative the Company commenced in 2009 a take-over bid and a modified
	    "Dutch Auction" tender offer for a portion of its outstanding Kingsway
	    Linked Return of Capital Trust units and Unsecured 6% Debentures due
	    July 11, 2012 respectively. Both the tenders were paid for using
	    available cash. During 2009 the Company also bought back its common
	    shares pursuant to an amended normal course issuer bid that terminated on
	    December 1, 2009. Under this normal course issuer bid, 3,472,700 shares
	    were repurchased at an average price of C$3.77, none of which were
	    repurchased in first quarter of 2009. Currently, there is no existing
	    normal course issuer bid in place and no common stock repurchases have
	    been made in the first quarter of 2010. As at March 31, 2010, the Company
	    had 52,095,828 common shares outstanding compared with 55,068,528 common
	    shares outstanding at March 31, 2009.

	    Early in 2010 the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive
	    agreement for the sale of Jevco. On March 29, 2010, after receipt of all
	    required regulatory approvals, the sale of Jevco was completed for a
	    purchase price of C$264.2 million. Due to covenant restrictions
	    associated with the sale of restricted subsidiaries under the Kingsway
	    America Inc., 7.50% senior notes and the Kingsway 2007 General
	    Partnership, 6.00% senior unsecured debentures, the Company was required
	    to lower its applicable ratios to a level where the restrictions would no
	    longer apply. The Company entered into a series of contingent trades
	    which were completed on March 30, 2010, whereby the Company repurchased
	    US$47.9 million and C$37.5 million of outstanding par value of the
	    Company's debt maturing in 2014 and 2012 respectively resulting in a gain
	    of $9.2 million and $5.9 million respectively. The Company used
	    $69.1 million to make these repurchases. These buybacks have positively
	    impacted the Company's debt ratios. Further details of the Jevco
	    disposition have been noted under Note 3 to the consolidated financial
	    statements pertaining to discontinued operations.

	    As at March 31, 2010 the Company was adequately capitalized to support
	    the premium volume of the insurance subsidiaries.

	    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 March 31, 2010, all U.S.
	    subsidiaries are estimated to be above the required RBC levels, with RBC
	    ratios estimates ranging between 428% and 601% and have estimated
	    aggregate capital of approximately $80.4 million in excess of the 200%
	    level. Effective January 1, 2010, the Company expanded its utilization of
	    an existing intercompany pooling arrangement to incorporate additional
	    affiliated insurance entities. Under this agreement, premiums, losses,
	    acquisition costs and underwriting expenses are pooled and then allocated
	    to the members of the pool based upon predetermined participation
	    percentages. The current members of the pool along with their
	    corresponding participation percentage are as follows: Mendota Insurance
	    Company (30%), Mendakota Insurance Company (5%), American Service
	    Insurance Company (30%), American Country Insurance Company (15%), and
	    Universal Casualty Company (20%).

	    The Company commuted all related party reinsurance treaties in 2009. As
	    at March 31, 2010, the regulatory capital remaining in Kingsway
	    Reinsurance Corporation following the commutation of all related party
	    reinsurance treaties is below the amount required under the Insurance Act
	    of Barbados where Kingsway Reinsurance is domiciled. The Company
	    considers this situation to be temporary as the calculation of the
	    minimum capital required is based upon the premiums of the previous
	    calendar year when the level of underwriting activity was significantly
	    greater than those of the ongoing Barbados operation. This situation has
	    been communicated to the Office of the Supervisor of Insurance in
	    Barbados which has accepted the Company's commitment to resolve the
	    shortfall in 2010.

	    As at March 31, 2010, the capital maintained by Kingsway Reinsurance
	    (Bermuda) Limited was approximately $0.5 million in excess of the
	    regulatory capital 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 the hedging instrument through 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 at the time of the
	    discontinuance of the cash flow hedge was $6.2 million before tax of
	    which $2.1 million was reclassified to net income in 2009 and
	    $0.5 million has been reclassified to net income for the quarter ended
	    March 31, 2010.

	    NOTE 10 Restructuring charges
	    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

	    In February 2009, the Company announced a corporate restructuring plan to
	    concentrate on its core lines of business and to improve the Company's
	    financial stability. The Company has consolidated operations in the U.S.
	    and Canada, simplified the management structure, reduced costs through
	    synergies and operational efficiencies and positioned the Company to
	    seize competitive advantage. As the Company exited businesses and
	    streamlined operations, a significant number of employees have been
	    removed from the total workforce. Restructuring costs were expected to be
	    approximately $20.0 million, to be incurred over fiscal 2009 and 2010.
	    This targeted amount included costs related to discontinued operations.
	    In 2009, the Company has expensed $14.8 million of restructuring costs.
	    Due to the disposition of Walshire and the sale of Jevco, as described in
	    Note 3, some of the planned restructuring costs were incurred in
	    discontinued operations.

	    NOTE 11 Acquisitions
	    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

	    On January 4, 2010, the Company and its subsidiary Kingsway America Inc.
	    acquired certain assets of Itasca Financial, LLC, a property and casualty
	    insurance industry advisory firm, owned and controlled by Mr. Larry
	    Swets, a former director of the Company. The consideration for the assets
	    purchased is equal to $1.5 million cash and one million restricted common
	    shares of the Company, payable in three annual installments. Please refer
	    to Note 13 - Related Party Transactions.

	    NOTE 12 Buy-Back of Senior Notes
	    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

	    As described in note 3, due to covenant restrictions associated with the
	    sale of restricted subsidiaries under the KAI, 7.50% senior notes and the
	    Kingsway 2007 General Partnership, 6.00% senior unsecured debentures, the
	    Company was required to lower its applicable ratios to a level where the
	    restrictions would no longer apply. The Company entered into a series of
	    contingent trades which closed on March 30, 2010, whereby the Company
	    repurchased $47.9 million of par value of the KAI senior notes. The
	    repurchase resulted in a gain of $9.2 million. The Company also
	    repurchased $36.9 million (C$37.5 million) of par value of the Kingsway
	    2007 General Partnership senior notes. The repurchase resulted in a gain
	    of $5.9 million.

	    NOTE 13 Related Party Transaction
	    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

	    Related-party transactions, including services provided to or received by
	    the Company'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.

	    On January 4, 2010, the Company and its subsidiary Kingsway America Inc.
	    acquired certain assets of Itasca Financial, LLC, a property and
	    casualty insurance industry advisory firm, owned and controlled by Mr.
	    Larry Swets, a former director of the Company. The consideration for the
	    assets purchased is equal to $1.5 million cash and one million restricted
	    common shares of the Company, payable in three annual installments as per
	    the table below:

	    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

	    The value of the consideration paid was approximately $2.5 million at the
	    time of close.

	    Subsequent to the transaction, certain employees of Itasca are now
	    employees within the KAI group, including Mr. Swets.

	    In March 2009, the Company obtained a $20 million financing facility from
	    American Physicians Assurance Corporation ("AP Assurance") to allow for
	    specific capital initiatives. Two of the members of the Company's Board
	    of Directors also sit on the board of AP Assurance making it a related
	    party. The facility was at fair market terms and conditions. No funds
	    were ever drawn on this facility and it has expired. In the fourth
	    quarter of 2009, a new $20 million facility was obtained from AP
	    Assurance. This new facility was at fair market terms and conditions. No
	    funds were ever drawn on this facility and it was terminated on
	    February 25, 2010.

	    In March 2010, the Company signed an agreement with AP Assurance to
	    provide investment management and investment accounting services to the
	    Company, commencing April 1, 2010. This agreement is at fair market terms
	    and conditions.

	    In 2009, in addition to a previously agreed annual retainer of
	    C$0.1 million, the Board of Directors had agreed to additional retainer
	    payments of $0.4 million and C$0.1 million to the Chairman of the Board.
	    Of these additional amounts, in 2009, the Company had paid $0.2 million
	    and C$0.1 million. In 2010, the Company paid the remaining $0.2 million
	    owed.

	    In the first quarter of 2010, in addition to a previously agreed annual
	    retainer of $0.2 million, the Board of Directors has decided to pay an
	    additional retainer of $0.1 million to the Chairman of the Board. This
	    additional payment was made subsequent to the quarter end.

	    NOTE 14 Contractual Obligations and Related Contingencies
	    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

	    On June 29, 2009, Kingsway and Lincoln entered into an agreement with
	    Rockwall Financial. Pursuant to that agreement (the "Run-off Management
	    Agreement"), Rockwall Financial was to serve as the run-off manager for
	    Lincoln. In addition to base compensation of $1.3 million annually, the
	    agreement provides for a minimum of $2.5 million to be paid to Rockwall
	    Financial no later than March 1, 2014, provided the contract is not
	    terminated by Kingsway or Lincoln for cause. As a result of the
	    October 19, 2009 disposition of Lincoln, in 2009, the Company had accrued
	    $3.2 million for the base compensation and the additional $2.5 million
	    compensation for a total compensation of $5.7 million as at March 31,
	    2010.

	    In March 2010, Rockwall Financial stopped providing its services as the
	    manager of the Lincoln run-off. Rockwall Financial notified Kingsway that
	    it was terminating the Run-off Management Agreement, because, it claimed,
	    Kingsway had not made certain payments to Rockwall Financial and had
	    otherwise breached the Run-off Management Agreement. Shortly before
	    Rockwall Financial's unilateral decision to stop providing services to
	    support Lincoln, Rockwall Financial had entered into a settlement
	    agreement to dispose of pending litigation between Rockwall Financial and
	    Lincoln in which Rockwall Financial received payments and a release. In
	    that litigation, Lincoln had alleged, among other things, that Rockwall
	    Financial had engaged in self-dealing and other misconduct while serving
	    as the Lincoln run-off manager.

	    Rockwall Financial then served upon Kingsway a demand for arbitration,
	    claiming that Kingsway had breached the Run-off Management Agreement, and
	    sought damages in excess of $26 million. Kingsway intends to defend the
	    arbitration vigorously. As part of its defense of the matter, Kingsway
	    intends to show that Rockwall Financial did not meet its obligations
	    under the Run-off Management Agreement, abandoning the Lincoln run-off
	    without cause. Kingsway may argue that Rockwall Financial breached the
	    Run-off Management Agreement and, as a result, is not entitled to the
	    sums it demands.

	    The Company is also the defendant in two separate breach of contract
	    suits filed by two former employees.

	    NOTE 17 Subsequent Events
	    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

	    The subsequent events have been evaluated up to May 14, 2010, the date
	    the financial statements are issued. The subsequent events noted are as
	    follows:

	    As described in note 3, on April 1, 2010, the Commonwealth Court
	    dismissed all claims against the Company in the legal action by the DOI
	    challenging the disposition of Lincoln. The Commonwealth Court sustained
	    the Company's objection to the action and rejected the arguments made by
	    the "DOI" in its pleading filed on November 20, 2009. The Commonwealth
	    Court confirmed that the disposition of Lincoln did not violate
	    Pennsylvania insurance laws and did not require DOI approval.

	    On April 30, 2010, the DOI filed a notice of appeal to the Pennsylvania
	    Supreme Court relating to the Commonwealth Court's April 1, 2010
	    decision. The Company intends to oppose this appeal.

	    On April 20, 2010, the Company announced that it intends to commence a
	    tender offer to acquire for cash up to a maximum of 750,000 of the
	    outstanding preferred, retractable, redeemable, cumulative units ("KLROC
	    Units") of Kingsway Linked Return of Capital Trust ("KLROC Trust") at a
	    price per Unit of C$17.50. The offer price represents an 11% premium over
	    the per Unit closing price on the TSX on April 19, 2010 and a 17% premium
	    over the average trading price of the KLROC Units on the TSX during the
	    20 business day period up to and including April 19, 2010. The Company
	    currently beneficially owns and controls 833,715 KLROC Units,
	    representing approximately 26.7% of the issued and outstanding KLROC
	    Units.
