(APCapital) (Nasdaq:ACAP) today announced net income of $11.2 million or $1.13 per diluted common share for the third quarter of 2008. This compares to net income of $13.3 million, or $1.21 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2007. Year-to-date APCapital has generated net income of $33.6 million or $3.37 per diluted share in 2008.

"Management is using its best efforts to operate the company in a prudent and conservative fashion," said President and Chief Executive Officer R. Kevin Clinton. "Our operating results continue to be strong, our reserves are solid, and our investments are conservative."

"Less than 1% of our total assets are invested in the stock market and we incurred no investment impairments during the third quarter on our $846 million investment portfolio," stated Clinton.

Reaffirm Annual Guidance for 2008

"If the current trends in frequency, severity and pricing remain stable in our book of business through 2009, we continue to believe our Company will report operating earnings of at least $4.25 per diluted share in 2008, and will exceed that benchmark of $4.25 earnings per diluted share in 2009," said Clinton.

The guidance and related assumptions are subject to the risks and uncertainties outlined in the Company's Forward-Looking Statements section of this press release.

 (1) Includes realized gains and losses

Direct premiums written were $37.8 million in the third quarter of 2008, down $7.4 million or 16.4% from the same period a year ago. Year-to-date, direct written premiums are down $11.4 million or 10.4%. The declines in direct premiums written were primarily the result of rate decreases in most of our markets. We insured 9,108 physicians at September 30, 2008, down slightly from 9,217 at year end 2007. Net premiums earned in the third quarter of 2008 were down $5.0 million or 14.1% from the third quarter of 2007 and were down $11.9 million or 11.3% year-to-date.

The 2008 third quarter loss ratio was 54.2% with $7.5 million of positive development from prior accident years. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the loss ratio was 53.9% with $23.0 million of positive prior year development. On an accident year basis, the loss ratio in the third quarter of 2008 was 79.0%, up from the 73.7% reported in the third quarter of 2007. This increase in accident year loss ratio reflects our recent premium rate decreases.

Claim statistics remain very strong. Our frequency of claims, while leveling off, continue to be at historically low volumes. There were 233 reported claims in the third quarter of 2008 which is consistent with recent favorable trends. Due to the low volume of new claims, we continue to reduce the number of outstanding claims. Our open claim count was 1,540 at September 30, 2008, which was down 11.5% since the start of the year. Our average paid claims have remained stable, but our average case reserves have increased 5.7% so far in 2008.

The underwriting expense ratio increased slightly in the third quarter of 2008 to 20.9% from 20.5% in the third quarter of 2007, with a similar increase in year-to-date ratios, due to the decline in net premiums earned. We expect our expense ratio to continue to increase as we begin to amortize capitalized costs related to our new information system. Other expenses in the third quarter of 2008 were down $371,000 and down $708,000 year-to-date due to lower interest expense on our long-term debt.

Investments

Investment income was $8.9 million in the third quarter of 2008, down from the $10.7 million for the same period in 2007. The overall investment yield decreased from 4.93% in the third quarter 2007 to 4.21% in the third quarter of 2008. Year-to-date our investment yield was 4.43% as compared to 5.05% through September 30, 2007. These decreases were primarily attributable to our increased position in tax-exempt securities, and the decline in short-term interest rates. Our year-to-date after tax yield was 3.32% through September 30, 2008 as compared to 3.59% a year ago.

Our investment portfolio has performed very well during the recent market turmoil with no impairment losses this quarter. Our portfolio does not contain any securities issued by domestic banks or brokers. All of our mortgage-backed holdings are in securities issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and now have the explicit guarantee of the U.S. Government. In addition, none of the underlying mortgages were made subsequent to March 2005, before the deterioration of underwriting standards. We have included a detailed listing of our investment holdings as of September 30, 2008 as a supplement to this press release.

Balance Sheet and Equity Information

APCapital's total assets were $1.043 billion at September 30, 2008, down $14.5 million from December 31, 2007. At September 30, 2008, the Company's total shareholders' equity was $268.1 million, up $4.6 million from December 31, 2007. Our 2008 year-to-date income has been partially offset by our share repurchase and dividend programs. The market value of our available-for-sale investment portfolio declined only $1.5 million, net of tax in the third quarter of 2008 and is down only $2.9 million, net of tax year-to-date.

Capital Management

In the third quarter of 2008, APCapital repurchased 129,600 shares at an average cost of $43.49 per share. Year-to-date we have repurchased 545,600 shares at an average cost of $43.12 per share. APCapital has the following outstanding share repurchase authorizations:

 (1) All shares will be repurchased under management's discretion in
 the open market or in privately negotiated transactions during the
 Company's normal trading windows.

The share repurchase program remains an integral part of APCapital's capital management program. APCapital seeks to maintain an optimal, but flexible, level of capital during this softer market cycle. Subsequent to September 30, 2008, we have repurchased another 185,570 shares through October 28, 2008 under our Rule 10b5-1 Plan at an average cost of $38.06 per share.

In the third quarter of 2008, the Board of Directors declared a third quarter cash dividend of $0.10 per common share, which was paid to shareholders on September 30, 2008. Today, APCapital's Board of Directors declared a fourth quarter cash dividend of $0.10 per common share payable on December 31, 2008 to shareholders of record on December 12, 2008.

In the third quarter of 2008, we also paid down $5.0 million on our debt. Future prepayments on our debt will be considered and will be subject to available cash resources, capital needs and other relevant factors.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements made by American Physicians Capital, Inc. in this release may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. When we discuss future operating results or use words such as "will," "should," "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "estimates" or similar expressions, we are making forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements represent our outlook only as of the date of this release. Because these forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions that are subject to significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control or are subject to change, actual results could be materially different. Factors that might cause such a difference include, without limitation, the following:



 * increased competition could adversely affect our ability to sell 
   our products at premium rates we deem adequate, which may result in 
   a decrease in premium volume, a decrease in our profitability, or 
   both;

 * our reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses are 
   based on estimates that may prove to be inadequate to cover our 
   losses; 

 * an interruption or change in current marketing and agency 
   relationships could reduce the amount of premium we are able to 
   write;

 * if we are unable to obtain or collect on ceded reinsurance, our 
   results of operations and financial condition may be adversely 
   affected; 

 * our geographic concentration in certain Midwestern states and New 
   Mexico ties our performance to the business, economic, regulatory 
   and legislative conditions in those states;

 * a downgrade in the A.M. Best Company financial strength rating of 
   our primary insurance subsidiary could reduce the amount of 
   business we are able to write;

 * changes in interest rates could adversely impact our results of 
   operation, cash flows and financial condition;

 * the unpredictability of court decisions could have a material 
   adverse financial impact on our operations;

 * our business could be adversely affected by the loss of one or 
   more of our key employees;

 * the insurance industry is subject to regulatory oversight that may 
   impact the manner in which we operate our business, our ability to 
   obtain future premium rate increases, the type and amount of our 
   investments, the levels of capital and surplus deemed adequate to 
   protect policyholder interests, or the ability of our insurance 
   subsidiaries to pay dividends to the holding company;

 * our status as an insurance holding company with no direct 
   operations could adversely affect our ability to meet our debt 
   obligations and fund future cash dividends and share repurchases;

 * legislative or judicial changes in the tort system may have adverse 
   or unintended consequences that could materially and adversely 
   affect our results of operations and financial condition; 

 * applicable law and certain provisions in our articles and bylaws 
   may prevent and discourage unsolicited attempts to acquire our 
   Company that may be in the best interest of our shareholders or 
   that might result in a substantial profit to our shareholders;

 * any other factors listed or discussed in the reports filed by 
   APCapital with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the 
   Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  

Other factors not currently anticipated by management may also materially and adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations. APCapital does not undertake, and expressly disclaims any obligation, to update or alter its statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

Definition of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

APCapital uses operating income, a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate APCapital's underwriting performance. Operating income differs from net income by excluding the after-tax effect of realized capital gains and (losses).

Although the investment of premiums to generate investment income and capital gains or (losses) is an integral part of an insurance company's operations, APCapital's decisions to realize capital gains or (losses) are independent of the insurance underwriting process. In addition, under applicable GAAP accounting requirements, losses may be recognized for accounting purposes as the result of other than temporary declines in the value of investment securities, without actual realization. APCapital believes that the level of realized gains and (losses) for any particular period is not indicative of the performance of our ongoing underlying insurance operations in a particular period. As a result, APCapital believes that providing operating income (loss) information makes it easier for users of APCapital's financial information to evaluate the success of APCapital's underlying insurance operations.

In addition to APCapital's reported loss ratios, management also uses accident year loss ratios, a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate APCapital's current underwriting performance. The accident year loss ratio excludes the effect of prior years' loss reserve development. APCapital believes that this ratio is useful to investors as it focuses on the relationships between current premiums earned and losses incurred related to the current year. Although considerable variability is inherent in the estimates of losses incurred related to the current year, APCapital believes that the current estimates are reasonable.
