ATLANTIC AMERICAN CORPORATION ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

ATLANTA, Georgia, November 13, 2007 - Atlantic American Corporation (Nasdaq- AAME) today reported net income of $1.8 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the third quarter ended September 30, 2007 compared to net income of $2.7 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the third quarter ended September 30, 2006. The Company further reported net income of $3.1 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to net income of $6.0 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Premium revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 decreased $3.6 million, or 9.6%, to $33.9 million and, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 decreased 11.7% to $102.9 million from the comparable prior year periods. The decrease in premiums for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 was primarily attributable to a combination of increased competition from new products and market competition as well as reduced pricing in a soft market for the Company’s property and casualty products. Realized investment gains in both the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 were $2.4 million compared to $1.4 million and $5.4 million for the three month period and nine month period ended September 30, 2006, respectively.

Commenting on the quarter, Hilton H. Howell, Jr., president and chief executive officer, stated, “Disappointed with the quarter, the challenges in our markets are requiring us to change. While we are seeing improvement in certain portions of our business, the decline in overall premiums has required that we implement cost saving initiatives to restore our core operations to profitability. While smaller initiatives have been ongoing as our premiums have declined, we have recently intensified efforts to tighten up our operations during this soft market.”
