$1 Billion In Premiums Milestone To Be Celebrated At Brooke Franchise's National Convention

(Tuesday, October 09, 2007) - Dane Devlin, chief
operating officer of Brooke Franchise Corporation, a subsidiary of Brooke
Corporation (NASDAQ: BXXX), is pleased to announce the achievement of the "$1
Billion in Premiums Milestone" that was recently reached by Brooke
franchisees. The company will celebrate this accomplishment during its 2007
National Franchise Convention, scheduled for Oct. 21-23 at the South Point
Hotel in Las Vegas. The celebration will be held Monday, Oct. 22, during the
vendor exhibitions from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. in Exhibit Hall D at the South
Point.

During September 2007, Brooke allocated $10,498,000 in commissions to its
franchisees. Based on an estimated average commission rate of 12.5 percent,
Brooke franchise and company-owned locations wrote premiums in September at a
rate that would exceed $1 billion on an annualized basis.

"Expanding the Brooke network by adding more locations is very important from
a branding standpoint, as it gets more Brooke signs on more street corners;
however, the ultimate determinant of franchise success is selling insurance.
Our franchisees last month sold insurance at a rate that will equal $1 billion
in premiums per year, if the trend continues," Devlin said. "Because insurance
company relationships are essential to selling insurance, we look forward to
celebrating this milestone during the national convention with our
franchisees and insurance company partners."

Nearly 1,000 Brooke franchisees, employees, directors, stockholders and
guests are expected to attend the 2007 convention, which features a variety
of educational speakers, exhibits and entertainment, including a keynote
address by Super Bowl champion coach Dick Vermeil. For more information about
