ACCEL INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION

                                    FORM 8-K
                                 CURRENT REPORT
                  AMENDMENT TO FORM 8-K FILED FEBRUARY 4, 2000


ITEM 7.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.

         (a)      Financial Statements of Business Acquired.

                  On February 4, 2000, ACCEL International Corporation ("ACCEL")
                  filed Form 8-K related to the acquisition by Accelerated
                  Agency Group, Inc., a Florida corporation and wholly-owned
                  subsidiary of ACCEL, of substantially all of the assets of
                  Unistar Florida Holdings, Inc. ("Unistar"), a Florida
                  corporation and a formally wholly-owned subsidiary of Unistar
                  Financial Services Corp., a Delaware Corporation, pursuant to
                  the terms and conditions of that certain Asset Purchase
                  Agreement, dated as of January 20, 2000.

                  No financial statements of Unistar were provided in that Form
                  8-K filing. In that Form 8-K filing, a statement was made that
                  such financials will be provided when they become available.

                  Since that filing, the financials of Unistar have become
                  available. However, in accordance with Rule 3-05 under
                  Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
                  Commission, none of the conditions exceeds 20 percent, and
                  therefore the financial statements are not required to be
                  filed.

         (b)      Pro Forma Financial Information.

                  No pro forma financial information is provided in this Current
                  Report on Form 8-K since the same conditions for exemptions
                  under said Rule 3-05 for filing of Financial Statements also
                  applies to pro forma statements.


                                   SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, the
registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
