CAPITAL TITLE GROUP REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA, April 27, 2006 -- Capital Title Group, Inc. (Nasdaq-NM: CTGI) --
named for a second consecutive year in FORTUNE'S 100 Fastest Growing Companies in America in 2005 -- is a national provider of title, appraisal, flood and other transaction services to the real estate and mortgage lending industries. The company today reported revenue of $79.2 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2006, a decrease of 6.2% compared to revenue of $84.5 million in the same quarter of 2005. The revenue decrease in the first three months of 2006 reflects a general decline in real estate market activity that was experienced in many parts of the nation as compared to the prior year. Earnings attributable to common shares for the first quarter ended March 31, 2006 was $571,000 or $.02 per diluted share compared to the first quarter of the prior year when earnings attributable to common shares were $1.8 million or $.07 per diluted share.

In addition to the decline in revenue mentioned above, other factors contributing to the reduction in net income for the first quarter ended March 31, 2006 include costs associated with the company's certification process for Sarbanes-Oxley compliance reporting, legal costs pursuant to actions brought against a competitor claiming unfair business practices in the recruitment of certain employees of the company and professional fees associated with the pending acquisition of Capital Title by LandAmerica Financial Group, Inc. (LandAmerica), along with the requirement to expense stock options beginning January 1, 2006. The combined impact of these items on the quarter ended March 31, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005 was approximately $.04 per share.

"As we moved through the quarter it was evident the real estate industry was not as strong as the prior year. Adjustments were made and we will continue to take appropriate action to meet the challenges within our competitive environment plus the seasonal and cyclical phases of our business. We saw an increase in the average revenue per closed order, pointing to a positive trend in the mix of our business to a greater percent of higher margin residential resale transactions. The results for the first quarter were as anticipated by management," stated Donald R. Head, chairman, president and chief executive officer.

"Our planned merger with LandAmerica is moving forward through the customary stages typical in transactions of this nature, which includes obtaining all necessary regulatory approvals. With the closing of the merger transaction we will maintain our unique Capital Title culture as we become a wholly-owned subsidiary of LandAmerica," Head concluded.

Headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, Capital Title Group, Inc. through its subsidiaries offers services throughout the United States for title insurance, appraisal and valuation services, and other related services to residential and commercial customers in the real estate and mortgage lending industries.
