      Company Act of 1940 during the  preceding  12 months or for such shorter
      period that the  registrant  was  required to file such  report(s)  been
      filed? If answer is no, identify reports            [X] Yes     [ ] No

 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 (3)  Is it anticipated  that any significant  change in results of operations
      from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected
      by the  earnings  statements  to be included  in the  subject  report or
      portion thereof?                                    [X] Yes     [ ] No

      If  so,  attach  an  explanation  of  the   anticipated   change,   both
      narratively, and quantitatively,  and, if appropriate, state the reasons
      why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

      Significant  changes in the results of  operations  will result from the
      sale in October 1995 of the registrant's life insurance subsidiary which
      constituted substantially all of the registrant's assets and operations.
      The registrant anticipates a loss for the six-months ended June 30, 1996
      of  approximately  $550,000,  compared to a loss of  $5,094,994  for the
      comparable period in 1995.
