Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     Basis of Presentation

      The consolidated financial statements include accounts, after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions, of Meadowbrook Insurance Group, Inc. (the “Company”), its wholly owned subsidiary Star Insurance Company (“Star”), and Star’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Savers Property and Casualty Insurance Company, Williamsburg National Insurance Company, and Ameritrust Insurance Corporation (which collectively are referred to as the “Insurance Company Subsidiaries”), and American Indemnity Insurance Company, Ltd. and Preferred Insurance Company, Ltd. The consolidated financial statements also include Meadowbrook, Inc. and its subsidiaries, and Crest Financial Corporation and its subsidiaries.

      These financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and accompanying notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

      The consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments, which were, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the interim period. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2003, are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.

     Revenue Recognition Policy

      Premiums written are recognized as earned on a pro rata basis over the life of the policy term. Unearned premiums represent the portion of premiums written that are applicable to the unexpired terms of policies in force. Provisions for unearned premiums on reinsurance assumed from others are made on the basis of ceding reports when received. Certain premiums are subject to retrospective premium adjustments. The estimated ultimate premium is recognized over the term of the insurance contract.

      Commission income, which includes reinsurance brokerage, is recorded on the latter of the effective date or the billing date of the policies on which they were earned. Commission income is reported net of sub-broker commission expense. Commission and other adjustments are recorded when they occur and the Company maintains an allowance for estimated policy cancellations and commission returns.

      Fee income, which includes risk management consulting, loss control, and claims services, is recognized in the period the services are provided. The claims processing fees are recognized as revenue over the estimated life of the claims. For those contracts that provide services beyond the contractually defined termination date of the related contracts, fees are deferred in an amount equal to management’s estimate of the Company’s obligation to continue to provide services.

      The Company reviews, on an ongoing basis, the collectibility of its receivables and establishes an allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts.

      Realized gains or losses on sale or maturity of investments are determined on the basis of specific costs of the investments. Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned. Discount or premium on debt securities purchased at other than par value is amortized using the constant yield method. Investments with other than temporary declines in fair value are written down to estimated fair value and the related realized losses recognized in income.

     Earnings Per Share

      Basic earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, while diluted earnings per share includes the weighted average number of common shares and potential dilution from shares issuable pursuant to stock options using the treasury stock method.

      Outstanding options of 2,092,149 and 2,764,244 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, have been excluded from the diluted earnings per share as they were anti-dilutive. Shares issuable pursuant to stock options included in diluted earnings per share were 30,834 for the six months ended June 30, 2003. There were no shares issuable pursuant to stock options included in diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2002. In addition, outstanding warrants of 300,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, have been excluded from the diluted earnings per share as they were anti-dilutive.

      Outstanding options of 2,092,149 and 2,337,744 for the quarters ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, have been excluded from the diluted earnings per share as they were anti-dilutive. Shares issuable pursuant to stock options included in diluted earnings per share were 46,556 and 2,048 for the quarters ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. In addition, shares issuable pursuant to outstanding warrants included in diluted earnings per share were 468 for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. Outstanding warrants of 300,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 have been excluded from the diluted earnings per share as they were anti-dilutive.

     New Accounting Pronouncements

      The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 148 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure- an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123”, for periods starting after December 15, 2003, or thereafter. SFAS No. 148 provides three optional transition methods for entities that voluntarily adopt the fair value recognition principles of SFAS No 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, and modifies the disclosure requirements of that Statement. Under the prospective method, stock-based compensation expense is recognized for awards granted after the beginning of the fiscal year in which the change is made. The modified prospective method recognizes stock-based compensation expense related to new and unvested awards in the year of change equal to that which would have been recognized had SFAS No. 123 been adopted as of its effective date, fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994. The retrospective restatement method recognizes stock compensation costs for the year of change and restates financial statements for all prior periods presented as though the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 had been adopted as of its effective date.

      The Company, through its 1995 and 2002 Stock Option Plans (the “Plans”), may grant options to key executives and other members of management of the Company and its subsidiaries in amounts not to exceed 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock allocated for each plan. The plans are administered by the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors. Option shares may be exercised subject to the terms of the Plans and the terms prescribed by the Committee at the time of grant. Currently, the Plans’ options have either five or ten-year terms and are exercisable and vest in equal increments over the option term.

      As of January 1, 2003, the Company adopted the requirements of SFAS No. 148 utilizing the prospective method. Under the prospective method, stock-based compensation expense is recognized for awards granted after the beginning of the fiscal year in which the change is made. If compensation cost for stock option grants
