ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
The 10-Q/A is being filed due to correction of an accounting error in the 10-Q
for the period ended March 31, 1999. The error was related to the recording, in
the incorrect accounting period, of a net recoverable gain pertaining to a
retroactive reinsurance provision in a reinsurance contract for the crop
insurance operations of Symons International Group, Inc. The correction of the
error moves the timing of the recording of the gain from first quarter to second
quarter 1999. See the 10-Q/A filed with the SEC.
