1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of The Midland Company and subsidiaries (Midland) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Financial information as of December 31, 2003 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company.

For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2003 included in Midland’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

2. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share (EPS) of common stock amounts are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period for basic EPS, plus the dilutive share equivalents for stock options and performance based stock awards for diluted EPS.
