Patriot Risk Management Reports Strong Second Quarter Sales Growth

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(Business Wire)--
Patriot Risk Management, Inc. (Patriot) announced today that Gross Premiums
Written and Managed (1) totaled approximately $31.0 million for the quarter
ending June 30, 2009, a 54% increase over the same period in 2008. Strong sales
growth in the second quarter was attributable to alternative market insurance
solutions written by Patriot Underwriters, Inc. on behalf of Patriot`s insurance
subsidiary, Guarantee Insurance Company as well as ULLICO Casualty Company, a
Patriot BPO business partner.

"Patriot`s multi-carrier workers` compensation strategy fueled our growth in the
second quarter," said Steven M. Mariano, Patriot`s Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer. "ULLICO Casualty's broad geographic footprint allows Patriot to
leverage its expertise in alternative market insurance solutions and expand its
market reach. In the second quarter, we entered a number of new states,
including California and Texas. Patriot`s national footprint has attracted many
new clients with diverse geographic operations who are seeking creative
insurance solutions."

"The second quarter premiums reported by Patriot reaffirm our decision to enter
into a stock purchase agreement with this emerging company," said Andrew Lerner,
Chief Executive Officer of Inter-Atlantic Financial, Inc. "Patriot is executing
on a business model that is delivering growth in a very challenging
environment."

Patriot previously announced a stock purchase agreement with Inter-Atlantic
Financial (NYSE Amex: IAN). The combined company will be led by Patriot`s
management team and will continue to be publicly traded. The acquisition
agreement is subject to customary closing conditions, including Inter-Atlantic
Financial shareholder approval and at least 70% of Inter-Atlantic Financial`s
shareholders choosing not to exercise their redemption rights. The Patriot
leadership team expects to begin meeting with Inter-Atlantic Financial
shareholders in early August 2009. A shareholder vote and closing is expected
later in the third quarter.

"I am looking forward to meeting with current and prospective shareholders to
provide details about our specialized business model and strategic vision for
Patriot and reviewing our second quarter operating results," said Steve M.
Mariano.
