Press Release for Immediate Release AMERICAN PHYSICIANS SERVICE GROUP, INC. REPORTS 92% EPS INCREASE IN SECOND QUARTER AUSTIN, TEXAS, August 8, 2005 - American Physicians Service Group, Inc. ("APS") (NASDAQ: AMPH) today announced results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005. For the three months ended June 30, 2005, revenues were $7,033,000 compared to $7,295,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004. Net earnings were $1,367,000 or $.48 per share, compared to $689,000 or $.25 per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2004. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, revenues were $13,695,000 compared to $14,585,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Net earnings were $2,220,000 or $.77 per diluted share, compared to $1,383,000 or $.49 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Ken Shifrin, APS Chairman of the Board stated, "We are pleased that, taken together, operating income at our two core business segments exceeded operating income in the comparable quarter a year-ago. The increase was approximately 7% on approximately 9% lower revenues. On an individual basis, our insurance services segment continued its positive trend, while interest rate and inflation concerns kept our financial services segment underperforming last year." Mr. Shifrin continued, "As in the first quarter, we were able to realize gains this quarter on equity investments, recognizing $1,289,000 in pretax income. Partially offsetting the gain were expenses related to the sale that are included in general and administrative expenses. Proceeds of the sale have been invested primarily in government securities, with a portion set aside to fund our recently announced dividend. Mr. Shifrin concluded, "Along with operating performance we remain focused on value and liquidity. Book value per share as of the June 30, 2005 balance sheet increased to $9.62 from $8.23 per share at June 30, 2004. Contributing to the book value improvement has been our management of shares outstanding. At our Annual Meeting, shareholders approved new equity compensation plans that continue to align managements' and shareholders' interests, while minimizing share dilution. We also remain active with our share repurchase plan and have now invested approximately $1.4 million of the $2.0 million authorized by our board of directors. With a current ratio exceeding 5:1, our liquidity has never been better and we remain alert to opportunities that have the potential to increase shareholder value."
