ITEM 4. Change in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
Ernst & Young LLP was previously the principal accountants for
Southern Security Life Insurance Company (the "Company").
Effective December 1, 1999, that firm was dismissed as principal
accountants and effective December 1, 1999, Tanner & Company was
engaged as principal accountants. The decision to change
accountants was approved by the Audit Committee of the Company's
Board of Directors and the Board of Directors.
In connection with the audit of the fiscal year ended December
31, 1998, and the subsequent interim period through December 1,
1999, there were no disagreements with Ernst & Young LLP on any
matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements
if not resolved to their satisfaction would have caused them to
make reference in connection with their opinion to the subject
matter of the disagreement.
The audit reports of Ernst & Young LLP on the financial
statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December
31, 1998, did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of
opinion, nor were they qualified as of uncertainty, audit scope
or accounting principles.
