AMERINST INSURANCE GROUP, LTD.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30,
2008

Basis of Presentation

The
condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by AmerInst Insurance Group, Ltd. (AmerInst) without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(Commission), and reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods shown. These statements are
condensed and do not incorporate all the information required under generally accepted accounting principles to be included in a full set of financial statements. It is suggested that these condensed statements be read in conjunction with the
audited consolidated financial statements at and for the year ended December 31, 2007 and notes thereto, included in AmerInsts Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year then ended.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Companys
critical accounting policies are discussed in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Adoption of New Accounting
Standards

Fair Value Measurement

We adopted FAS 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157), effective January 1, 2008. Under this standard, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability (i.e. the exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

In determining
fair value, we use the market approach which makes use of prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. FAS 157 establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring
fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of
inputs as follows:



| |  |  | Level 1: Observable inputs to the valuation methodology that are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Level 2: Observable inputs to the valuation methodology other than quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active
markets. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets in markets that are not active and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability,
either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology that are unobservable for the asset or liability.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The availability of observable inputs can vary from investment instrument to investment instrument and is affected by a wide variety of factors,
including, for example, the type of investment, whether the investment is new and not yet established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are
less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires significantly more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by management in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in
Level 3. We use prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including during periods of market dislocation. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This
condition could cause an instrument to be reclassified between levels.

The adoption of FAS 157 did not result in any cumulative-effect
adjustment to our beginning retained earnings at January 1, 2008, or any material impact on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity. In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement
No. 157 (FSP FAS 157-2), which permits a one-year deferral of the application of FAS 157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial
statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). Accordingly, we have also adopted FSP FAS 157-2 effective January 1, 2008, for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities. We are currently considering the impact of adopting FAS 157
for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities with effect from January 1, 2009. We, however, do not anticipate that this adoption will have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activitiesan amendment of FASB Statement No. 133(FAS 161). FAS 161 expands the disclosure requirements of FAS 133 and requires the reporting
entity to provide enhanced disclosures about the objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments, quantitative disclosures about fair values and amounts of gains and losses on derivative contracts, and credit-risk related contingent
features in derivative agreements. FAS 161 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of FAS 161 is not expected to have a significant impact on our
financial statements.

Further, on a quarterly basis, we evaluate whether the fair value of the securities held in our
investment portfolio is other-than-temporarily impaired when fair value is below amortized cost. To make this assessment we consider several factors, including (i) the time period during which there has been a decline below cost, (ii) the
extent of the decline below cost, (iii) our intent and ability to hold the security, (iv) the potential for the security to recover in value, (v) an analysis of the financial condition of the issuer, and (vi) an analysis of the
collateral structure and credit support of the security, if applicable. If we conclude a security is other-than-temporarily impaired, we write down the amortized cost of the security to fair value, with a charge to net realized investment gains
(losses) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Gross unrealised losses on the investment portfolio as of June 30, 2008

---

amounted to $189,664 compared to $39,542 as of December 31, 2007. This increase was mainly attributable to the fixed income securities none of which
were considered to be other than temporarily impaired. The Company has the intent and ability to hold these securities either to maturity or until the fair value recovers above the original or adjusted cost. The unrealized losses from these
securities were not as a result of credit, collateral or structural issues. As a result of the decline in fair value below cost, the Company recorded a total other than temporary impairment charge of $1,334,112 and $40,081 on 22 and 8 equity
securities during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company has recorded a total other-than-temporary impairment charge of $846,282 and $27,641 on 10 and 2
equity securities, respectively.

The following discussion
addresses our financial condition and results of operations for the periods and as of the dates indicated.

OVERVIEW

Unless otherwise indicated by the context, in this quarterly report we refer to AmerInst Insurance Group, Ltd. and its subsidiaries as the
Company, we or us. Also, unless otherwise indicated by the context, AmerInst means the parent company, AmerInst Insurance Group, Ltd. AMIC Ltd. means AmerInsts wholly-owned subsidiary, AmerInst
Insurance Company, Ltd. Investco means AmerInst Investment Company, Ltd., a subsidiary of AMIC Ltd. AMIG means our predecessor entity, AmerInst Insurance Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Our principal offices are c/o Cedar Management Limited, 25
Church Street, Continental Building, P.O. Box HM 1601, Hamilton, Bermuda, HM GX.

AmerInst, a Bermuda holding company, was formed in 1998.
We conduct our reinsurance business through AMIC Ltd., our subsidiary, which is a registered insurer in Bermuda. Our investment portfolio is held in and managed by Investco.

Our mission is to be a Company that provides availability of insurance for the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) profession, and that engages
in investment activities. Historically, the primary business activity of our wholly owned insurance company subsidiary, AMIC Ltd., has been to act as a reinsurer of professional liability insurance policies that are issued under the Professional
Liability Insurance Plan sponsored by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). The AICPA plan offers professional liability coverage to accounting firms and individual CPAs in all 50 states. Effective June 1,
2005, we accepted a 5% share in the first excess layer of $2,000,000 excess of $1,000,000 of CAMICO Mutual Insurance Company (CAMICO), a California-based writer of accountants professional liability business. Effective June 1,
2007, the contract renewed with our share amended to 2.5%, but of a $4,000,000 excess $1,000,000 layer. Effective June 1, 2008, the contract renewed on the same terms. Approximately 25,000 accounting firms and individual CPAs are insured under
these plans. We also reinsured attorneys professional liability in 2003. We continue to look for ways in which it may be advantageous to expand our business to include the reinsurance of lines of coverage other than accountants
professional liability. Any such expansion may be subject to our obtaining regulatory approvals, among other things.

Our reinsurance
activity depends upon agreements with outside parties. In August 1993, AMIG, our predecessor entity, began the current reinsurance relationship with CNA Financial Corporation (CNA), taking a 10% participation of the first $1,000,000 of
liability of each policy written under the AICPA plan. Effective December 1999, we began taking a 10% share of CNAs value plan business. The value plan provides for separate limits up to $1,000,000 for losses and
separate limits up to $1,000,000 for expenses per occurrence and $2,000,000 in the aggregate. The maximum limits under the value plan are $2,000,000 per occurrence and $4,000,000 in the aggregate. We renewed our existing arrangements on
January 1, 2008.

---

We have entered into reinsurance agreements with CNA and CAMICO and intend to cooperate with them through
such reinsurance agreements, but have no contractual right to long-term involvement with either the AICPA plan or CAMICO. Similarly, other than the current terms of our reinsurance agreements, we are not obligated to use our reinsurance capacity as
part of any insurance program that is offered to the CPA profession, and may, at the discretion of our board of directors, provide reinsurance for other coverage, including other accountants professional liability coverage.

Third-party Managers and Service Providers

Cedar Management Limited provides the day-to-day services necessary for the administration of our business. Effective July 1, 2008, USA Risk Group (Bermuda) Ltd., former named manager, acquired a majority interest in Cedar Management
Limited. Following the merger USA Risk Group (Bermuda) Ltd. will continue as Cedar Management Limited, a Bermuda based captive manager. Shareholder services are conducted by USA Risk Group of Vermont, Inc., an affiliate of USA Risk Group (Bermuda)
Ltd.

The Country Club Bank of Kansas City, Missouri, provides portfolio management of fixed-income securities and directs our investments
pursuant to guidelines approved by us. Harris Associates L.P., Harris Alternatives Investment Group, and Northeast Investment Management, Inc. provide discretionary investment advice with respect to our equity investments. We have retained Milliman
USA, an independent casualty actuarial consulting firm, to render advice regarding actuarial matters.

Professional Liability Coverage

The form of professional liability policy issued by CNA which we ultimately reinsure is a Professional Liability Company Indemnity
Policy form. The coverage provided under this policy is on a claims made basis, which means the policy covers only those losses resulting from claims asserted against the insured during the policy period. The insuring clause of the
policy, which indemnifies for losses caused by acts, errors or omissions in the insureds performance of professional accounting services for others, is in three parts:

Clause A indemnifies the accounting firm insured and, unless excluded by endorsements, any predecessor firms;

Clause B indemnifies any accountant or accounting firm while performing professional accounting services under contract with the insured; and

Clause C indemnifies any former or new partner, officer, director or employee of the firm or predecessor firms.

Depending on the insured, defense costs for the policies issued by CNA (and reinsured by us) are either within the policy limits or in addition to policy
limits. CNA charges an additional premium to cover the cost of providing defense costs in addition to the policy limits under its value plan. Insureds under the value plan have separate limits for losses and defense costs. Settlements
are made only with the written consent of the insured. However, if the insured contests the settlement recommended by the insurer, those policies will only cover costs that do not exceed the lesser of the amount for which the claim could have been
settled or the policy limits.

Effective January 1, 2003, we entered into a 15% quota share participation of the attorneys
professional liability coverage provided by Professionals Direct Insurance Company. This participation terminated on December 31, 2003. However, we remain potentially liable for claims related to this period of coverage.

Effective June 1, 2005, we accepted a 5% share in CAMICOs first excess layer of $2,000,000 excess of $1,000,000. The contract renewed on
June 1, 2006. Effective June 1, 2007, the contract renewed with our share amended to 2.5% of a $4,000,000 excess $1,000,000 layer. Effective June 1, 2008, the contract renewed for the same expiring terms.

OPERATIONS

Three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to
three months ended June 30, 2007:

We recorded a net loss of $919,173 for the second quarter of 2008 compared to a net income of
$800,154 for the same period of 2007. The increase in net loss is due to a decline in net investment income, a net realized loss on investments, partially offset by an increase in net earned premiums. Our earned premiums for the second quarter of
2008 were $2,041,470 compared to $1,552,209 for the second quarter of 2007, an increase of $489,261 or 31.5%. This increase is due to an adjustment for premiums over ceded to AmerInst in prior years in the amount of $670,863 recorded in the first
six months of 2007. Net premiums written for the three months ended June 30, 2008 were $1,594,561, compared to $1,573,776 for the second quarter of 2007, a marginal increase of $20,785 or 1.3%.

We recorded net investment income of $374,265 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 compared to $395,089 for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, a
decrease of $20,824 or 5.3%. Annualized investment yield, calculated as total interest and dividends divided by the net average amount of total investments, was 2.8% for the quarters ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. Sales of securities during



10



---

the quarter ended June 30, 2008, net of impairment, resulted in realized losses of $589,965 compared to gains of $867,775 during the quarter ended
June 30, 2007. The significant increase in realized losses recorded in the second quarter of 2008 primarily related to the recorded loss on impairment of equity securities in the amount of $846,282.

Our loss ratios for the second quarters of 2008 and 2007 were 70.0% and 71.3% respectively. The loss ratio represents our managements current
estimate of the effective loss rate selected in consultation with our independent consulting actuary. To determine total losses for the second quarter of 2008 and 2007, we multiplied an estimated loss ratio of 70% times the AICPA Professional
Liability Insurance Plan net premiums earned and the CAMICO net premiums earned. For the second quarter of 2007, we recorded additional reserves relating to the attorneys professional liability plan. We continue to review the impact of the
subprime mortgage market and credit related downturn on professional liability insurance policies and reinsurance contracts we write. At this time we believe, based on the claims information received to date, our current Incurred But Not Reported
Losses (IBNR) is adequate to meet any potential subprime and credit related losses. We will continue to monitor our reserve for losses and loss expenses for any new claims information and adjust our reserve for losses and loss expenses
accordingly.

We expensed policy acquisition costs of $580,066 in the second quarter of 2008 compared to $428,429 for the same period of
2007, an increase of $151,637 or 35.4%. The increase in policy acquisition costs is due to an increase in net premiums earned. These costs were 28.4% and 27.6% of net premiums earned for the quarters ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Policy acquisition costs are the sum of ceding commissions paid to ceding companies determined contractually pursuant to reinsurance agreements and federal excise taxes paid on premiums written to ceding companies.

We expensed operating and management expenses of $735,908 in the second quarter of 2008 compared to $479,820 for the same period of 2007, an increase of
$256,088 or 53.4%. The primary reason for this increase was due to an increase in director fees, pension costs and legal fees for the second quarter of 2008 compared to the second quarter of 2007.

AmerInst has two operating segments: 1) Reinsurance activity and 2) RINITS, its insurance financing product, which is in the marketing phase of
development. The reinsurance segment had revenues of $1,825,770 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 and $2,815,073 for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. Total losses and expenses for this segment were $2,608,631 for the quarter ended
June 30, 2008 and $1,916,847 for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. This resulted in segment loss of $782,861 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 and segment income of $898,226 for the period ended June 30, 2007.

The RINITS segment offers a mechanism to securitize insurance and reinsurance risk, involving property, casualty, life and health lines of
insurance. This segment as of June 30, 2008 had generated no revenue. Operating and management expenses in the marketing phase of development were $136,312 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 and $98,072 for the quarter ended June 30,
2007.

Six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to six months ended June 30, 2007:

We recorded net loss of $1,385,242 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to net income of $638,777 for the six months ended June 30,
2007. The loss was due to an increase in total losses and expenses, a decrease of net investment income, and an increase in net realized losses due to the impairment of securities, partially offset by an increase in net premiums earned.

Our net premiums earned for the first six months of 2008 were $4,168,736 compared to $3,786,257 for 2007. The change of $382,479 represented a 10.1%
increase. Premiums written in the six months ended June 30, 2008 were $3,937,402 compared to $3,356,833 for the same period in 2007. This increase is due to an adjustment for premiums over ceded to AmerInst in prior years in the amount of
$670,863 recorded in the first six months of 2007.

We recorded realized losses, net of impairment, of $970,053 during the six months ended
June 30, 2008 compared to $920,843 in capital gains in the same period of 2007. The significant increase in realized losses recorded in 2008 primarily related to impairment of equity securities in the amount of $1,334,112. Net investment income
through June 30, 2008 was $766,320 compared to $789,245 for the same period in 2007. The decline in net investment income is due to a lower amount invested in 2008 compared to 2007. Annualized investment yield was approximately 2.8% for the six
months ended June 30, 2008 and for the first six months of 2007.

Our loss ratio for the first six months of 2008 was 70.0% compared
to 71.2% for the same period of 2007. The loss ratio represents our managements current estimate of the effective loss rate selected in consultation with our independent consulting actuary. To determine total losses for the first six months of
2008 and 2007, we multiplied an estimated loss ratio of 70% times the AICPA Professional Liability Insurance Plan net premiums earned. We have recorded additional reserves relating to the attorneys professional liability plan in the six month
period ended June 30, 2007. Our actual overall loss ratio for the year ended December 31, 2007 was 37.5%. We continue to review the impact of the subprime mortgage market and credit related downturn on professional liability insurance
policies and reinsurance contracts we write. At this time we believe, based on the claims information received to date, our current IBNR is adequate to meet any potential subprime and credit related losses. We will continue to monitor our reserve
for losses and loss expenses for any new claims information and adjust our reserve for losses and loss expenses accordingly.

We expensed policy acquisition costs of $1,180,254 in the first six months of 2008 compared to $1,070,597
for the same period of 2007, an increase of $109,657 or 10.24%. These costs were 28.3% of premiums earned for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase in policy acquisition costs in 2008 was due to the
increase in net premiums earned. Policy acquisition costs are the sum of ceding commissions paid to ceding companies, which are determined contractually pursuant to reinsurance agreements, and federal excise taxes paid on premiums written to ceding
companies.

AmerInst has two operating segments: 1) Reinsurance activity and 2) RINITS, its insurance financing product, which is in
the marketing phase of development. The reinsurance segment had revenues of $3,965,003 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and $5,496,345 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Total losses and expenses for this segment were $5,110,150
for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and $4,509,744 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. This resulted in segment loss of $1,145,147 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and segment income of $986,601 for the six months ended
June 30, 2007.

The RINITS segment offers a mechanism to securitize insurance and reinsurance risk, involving property,
casualty, life and health lines of insurance. This segment as of June 30, 2008 had generated no revenue. Operating and management expenses in the marketing phase of development were $240,095 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and
$347,824 for the six months ended June 30, 2007.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

Under existing accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, we are required to recognize certain assets at their fair value in our
condensed consolidated balance sheets. This includes our fixed maturity investments and equity securities. Fair value, as defined in Financial Accounting Standard No. 157 Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157), is the price
that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. FAS 157 established a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements.
The valuation hierarchy is based upon whether the inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability are observable or unobservable in the market at the measurement date, with quoted market prices being the highest level (Level 1) and unobservable
inputs being the lowest level (Level 3). A fair value measurement will fall within the level of the hierarchy based on the input that is significant to determining such measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:



| |  |  | Level 1: Observable inputs to the valuation methodology that are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Level 2: Observable inputs to the valuation methodology other than quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active
markets. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets in markets that are not active and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability,
either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology that are unobservable for the asset or liability.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At each measurement date, we estimate the fair value of the financial instruments using various valuation techniques. We utilize, to the extent
available, quoted market prices in active markets or observable market inputs in estimating the fair value of our investments. When quoted market prices or observable market inputs are not available, we utilize valuation techniques that rely on
unobservable inputs to estimate the fair value of investments. The following describes the valuation techniques we used to determine the fair value of investments held as of June 30, 2008 and what level within the FAS 157 fair value hierarchy
the valuation technique resides.



| |  |  | U.S. government agency securities: Comprised primarily of bonds issued by the Federal Home Loan Bank, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, Federal
Farm Credit Bank and the Federal National Mortgage Association. The fair values of U.S. government agency securities are priced using the spread above the risk-free U.S. Treasury yield curve. As the yields for the risk-free U.S. Treasury yield curve
are observable market inputs, the fair values of U.S. government agency securities are included in the Level 2 fair value hierarchy.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Obligations of state and political subdivisions: Comprised of fixed income obligations of state and local governmental municipalities. The fair values of
these securities are based on quotes and current market spread relationship, and are included in the Level 2 fair value hierarchy.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Equity securities, at fair value: Comprised primarily of investments in the common stock of publicly traded companies. All of the Companys equities are
included in the Level 1 fair value hierarchy. The Company receives prices based on closing exchange prices from independent pricing sources to measure fair values for the equities.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Hedge fund: Comprised of a hedge fund whose objective is to seek attractive long-term returns with lower volatility by investing in a range of diversified
investment strategies. The fund invests in a diversified pool of hedge fund managers, generally across six different strategies: long/short equities, long/short credit, macro, multi-strategy opportunistic, activist, and portfolio hedge. The fair
value of the hedge fund is based on the net asset value of the fund as reported by the fund manager. The fair value of our hedge fund is included in the Level 3 fair value hierarchy.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To validate prices, we complete quantitative analyses to compare the performance of the overall
investment portfolio to the performance of an appropriate benchmark, with significant differences identified and investigated.

There have
been no material changes to any of our valuation techniques from what was used as of December 31, 2007. Since the fair value of a financial instrument is an estimate of what a willing buyer would pay for our asset if we sold it, we will not
know the ultimate value of our financial instruments until they are sold. We believe the valuation techniques utilized provide us with the best estimate of the price that would be received to sell our assets or transfer our liabilities in an orderly
transaction between participants at the measurement date.

As of June 30, 2008, our total investments were $49,468,453, a decrease of
$4,151,575, or 7.7%, from $53,620,028 at December 31, 2007. The decrease was primarily due to a decline in the fair value of the investments and an increase in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents balances. The
cash and cash equivalents balance increased from $1,778,798 at December 31, 2007 to $2,233,182 at June 30, 2008, an increase of $454,384, or 25.5%. The amount of cash and cash equivalents varies depending on the maturities of fixed term
investments and on the level of funds invested in money market mutual funds. The restricted cash and cash equivalents balance increased from $841,602 at December 31, 2007 to $2,258,716 at June 30, 2008, an increase of $1,417,114. The
increase is due to the timing of sales and maturities of investments held as restricted cash at June 30, 2008 that have not yet been reinvested, and not due to an increase in required restricted funds at June 30, 2008. The ratio of cash
and total investments to total liabilities at June 30, 2008 was 1.74:1, compared to a ratio of 1.79:1 at December 31, 2007.

The
Companys investment portfolio includes U.S. mortgage/asset-backed securities, which comprised approximately 15% of our total investments at June 30, 2008. These securities generally have a low risk of default as they are backed by an
agency of the U.S. government, which enforces standards on the mortgages before accepting them into the program. They are considered prime mortgages and the primary risk is uncertainty of the timing of pre-payments. While these securities do not
carry a formal rating, they are generally considered to have a credit quality equivalent to or greater than AAA. While there have been recent market concerns regarding sub-prime mortgages, asset-backed home equity loans, commercial mortgages, and
adjustable rate mortgages, the Company believes it did not have material exposure to these types of securities in its own portfolio at June 30, 2008.

Assumed reinsurance premiums receivable are current assumed premiums receivable less commissions payable to the issuing carriers. This balance was $605,756 at December 31, 2007 and $183,912 at June 30, 2008.
This balance fluctuates due to the timing of renewal premiums written.

The Bermuda Monetary Authority previously authorized Investco, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of AmerInst, to purchase up to 20% of the Companys common shares from individuals who have died or retired from the practice of public accounting and on a negotiated case-by-case basis. Through August 1, 2008
Investco had purchased 84,280 common shares from individuals who have died or retired for a total purchase price of $1,724,232. In addition, through that date, Investco had purchased in negotiated transactions at various prices 66,303 common shares
for a total purchase price of $869,027.

Cash Dividends

We paid our semi-annual dividend of $0.47 per share during the first quarter of 2008. Since AmerInst began paying consecutive dividends in 1995, our original shareholders have received approximately $15.55 in
cumulative dividends per share. When measured by a total rate of return calculation this has resulted in an effective annual rate of return of approximately 10.39% from the inception of the Company, based on a per share purchase price of $8.33 paid
by the original shareholders, and using an unaudited book value of $31.41 per share as of June 30, 2008.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Companys critical accounting policies are discussed in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
