ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

     In August 1995, Conseco,  Inc. ("Conseco") completed the purchase of all of
the shares of common stock of CCP Insurance,  Inc. ("CCP") it did not previously
own in a transaction pursuant to which CCP was merged with Conseco, with Conseco
being the surviving corporation. Accordingly, the former subsidiaries of CCP are
now wholly owned  subsidiaries  of Conseco and their  accounts are  consolidated
with Conseco.  The merger and related transactions were reported under Item 2 of
Form 8-K of Conseco dated August 31, 1995.

     The  financial  statements  of  Conseco  for  1995  periods  prior  to  the
acquisition   have  been  restated  to  reflect  the  operations  of  CCP  on  a
consolidated  basis.  Exhibits  99.1 and 99.2  include  the  restated  financial
statements of Conseco for each of the quarterly periods ended March 31, 1995 and
June 30, 1995, reflecting the accounts of CCP on the consolidated basis.

                         CONSECO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (unaudited)


     The  following  notes  should  be read in  conjunction  with  the  notes to
consolidated  financial  statements  included  in the 1994 Form 10-K of Conseco,
Inc. ("We",  "Conseco" or the "Company").  The consolidated  balance sheet as of
March 31, 1995, and the consolidated  statement of operations and cash flows for
the three months ended March 31, 1995,  presented in the Company's Form 10-Q for
the  quarterly  period ended March 31, 1995,  have been  restated to reflect the
consolidation of the accounts of CCP Insurance,  Inc. ("CCP")  effective January
1, 1995 (see "Basis of Presentation - Consolidation issues" below).

     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     Our unaudited  consolidated  financial  statements as of March 31, 1995 and
1994, reflect all adjustments,  consisting only of normal recurring items, which
are  necessary to present  fairly  Conseco's  financial  position and results of
operations on a basis  consistent  with that of our prior  audited  consolidated
financial statements. We have reclassified certain amounts from the prior period
to conform to the 1995 presentation.

     Consolidation issues. In August 1995, Conseco completed the purchase of all
of the shares of common stock of CCP we did not  previously own in a transaction
pursuant to which CCP was merged with Conseco,  with Conseco being the surviving
corporation.  Accordingly,  the  accompanying  financial  statements  have  been
restated to include  the  accounts of CCP on the  consolidated  basis  effective
January  1,  1995.  Such  restatement  has  no  effect  on  the  net  income  or
shareholders' equity we report.

     Prior to its initial public offering ("IPO") on February 15, 1994,  Western
National  Corporation  ("WNC") was a wholly owned subsidiary of Conseco. We sold
60 percent of our equity interest in WNC in the IPO. After the IPO, we no longer
had unilateral control of WNC and we ceased including the accounts of WNC in our
consolidated financial statements.  We sold our remaining 40 percent interest in
WNC on December 23, 1994.  Therefore,  we had no earnings  from WNC in the first
quarter of 1995 and our equity in earnings  of WNC in the first  quarter of 1994
reflected:  (i) all of WNC's earnings for the period through  February 15, 1994;
and (ii) 40 percent of WNC's earnings for the remainder of the quarter.

     Conseco Capital Partners II, L.P. ("Partnership II") acquired American Life
Group,  Inc. ("AGP," formerly The Statesman Group, Inc. prior to its name change
in  August  1995)  on  September  29,  1994  (the   "Acquisition").   After  the
Acquisition,  Partnership II owns 80 percent of the outstanding  shares of AGP's
common  stock.  Because  Conseco  Partnership  Management,  Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Conseco,  is the sole general  partner of Partnership  II, Conseco
controls Partnership II and AGP, even though its ownership interest is less than
50 percent. Because of this control, Conseco's consolidated financial statements
are  required to include the  accounts of  Partnership  II and AGP.  Immediately
after the Acquisition,  Conseco,  through its direct  investment and through its
equity  interests in the  investments  made by Bankers Life Holding  Corporation
("BLH"),  CCP and WNC, had a 27 percent ownership  interest in AGP. At March 31,
1995, Conseco's ownership interest in AGP had decreased to 25 percent as the net
result  of:  (i) the sale of  Conseco's  40 percent  equity  interest  in WNC on
December 23, 1994;  (ii) the sale of a portion of CCP's  investment in AGP to an
unaffiliated company; and (iii) an increase in Conseco's percentage ownership in
BLH and CCP due to our stock  purchases  and the stock  purchases by BLH and CCP
under their respective share repurchase programs.

     We  accounted  for the  Acquisition  of AGP  using the  purchase  method of
accounting.  Under purchase accounting,  we allocated the total purchase cost of
AGP to the assets and liabilities acquired, based on a preliminary determination
of  their  fair  values.  We may  adjust  this  allocation  when we make a final
determination of such values. We do not believe any adjustment will be material,
however.

     ADJUSTMENT TO ACTIVELY MANAGED FIXED MATURITIES

     We classify fixed maturity  investments  into three  categories:  "actively
managed" (which are carried at estimated fair value),  "trading  account" (which
are carried at estimated  fair value) and "held to maturity"  (which are carried
at amortized  cost).  We did not classify any fixed maturity  investments in the
trading account or held to maturity categories at March 31, 1995.

     Adjustments  to carry actively  managed fixed maturity  investments at fair
value  have no effect on our  earnings.  We  record  them,  net of tax and other
adjustments,  as an  adjustment to  shareholders'  equity.  The following  table
summarizes the effect of these  adjustments on Conseco's  actively managed fixed
maturities as of March 31, 1995.

     CHANGES IN NOTES PAYABLE

     Notes payable of Conseco

      At March 31, 1995,  we had drawn $30.0  million  under our $200.0  million
revolving credit  agreements.  The interest rate on this amount was 6.88 percent
at March 31, 1995.

     At March 31, 1995, notes payable of Conseco include the senior notes of CCP
due 2004. The senior notes bear interest at 10.5 percent payable  semi-annually,
are  unsecured and rank pari passu with all other  unsecured and  unsubordinated
debt of Conseco. The notes are not redeemable prior to maturity and are publicly
traded on the New York Stock Exchange.

    Notes payable of Partnership II entities (not direct obligations of Conseco)

     During March 1995, AGP made a scheduled $15.0 million  principal payment on
its senior term loan.  The interest  rates on this loan at March 31, 1995,  were
8.5 percent for the $115.0 million  borrowed under Tranche A and 9.0 percent for
the $40.0 million borrowed under Tranche B.

     In connection with the Acquisition,  cash was segregated for the redemption
of AGP's subordinated debentures.  During the three months ended March 31, 1995,
an additional $1.0 million principal amount of such subordinated  debentures was
converted and  redeemed.  Funds to pay such holders will be held in escrow until
the debentures are converted, redeemed or mature.

     Notes payable of BLH (not direct obligations of Conseco)

     During April 1995, BLH made a scheduled $16.0 million  principal payment on
its senior term loan.  The  interest  rate on this loan was 8.5 percent at March
31, 1995.

     CHANGES IN CAPITAL STOCK

     We  repurchased  2.0  million of our common  shares  during the first three
months of 1995 as part of our previously announced stock repurchase program. The
total  cost of shares  repurchased  during  the first  quarter  of 1995 of $92.4
million was allocated to  shareholders'  equity  accounts as follows:  (i) $15.0
million to common stock and  additional  paid-in  capital (such  allocation  was
based on the average common stock and paid-in  capital  balance per share);  and
(ii) $77.4 million to retained earnings. In April 1995, we announced that we had
terminated our common stock repurchase program.

     During the first three months of 1995,  we issued 38,218 common shares upon
the  exercise of stock  options.  Proceeds  from the  exercise of options of $.3
million and the related  tax benefit of $.1 million  were added to common  stock
and additional paid-in capital.

     During the first three  months of 1995,  we issued  3,137  shares of common
stock to employee  benefit  plans.  As a result,  we added $.8 million to common
stock and additional paid-in capital.

     REINSURANCE

     The  cost  of  reinsurance  ceded  for  policies  containing  mortality  or
morbidity risks totaled $16.6 million and $6.0 million in the first three months
of 1995 and 1994,  respectively.  We deducted  this cost from  insurance  policy
income.  Reinsurance  premiums  assumed on policies  containing  mortality risks
totaled  $1.7  million and $1.3  million in the first  three  months of 1995 and
1994,  respectively.  Reinsurance  recoveries  netted against  insurance  policy
benefits  totaled  $13.3  million and $5.7  million in the first three months of
1995 and 1994, respectively.

     Certain annuity policies that were sold by WNC, and  subsequently  ceded to
CCP through a reinsurance  agreement,  with an  accumulated  account  balance of
approximately  $73 million at March 31, 1995, are subject to a provision whereby
they may be recaptured by WNC. WNC informed the Company in February 1995 that it
wished to exercise its option to recapture these  policies.  This recapture will
transpire  upon the  establishment  of a  mutually  agreed  upon  value  for the
business.

     CHANGES IN MINORITY INTEREST

     During the first  quarter of 1995,  Conseco  purchased  an  additional  1.5
million common shares of BLH for $31.5 million. This increased our common equity
ownership interest in BLH to 62 percent.

                         CONSECO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (unaudited)



     The  following  notes  should  be read in  conjunction  with  the  notes to
consolidated  financial  statements  included  in the 1994 Form 10-K of Conseco,
Inc. ("We",  "Conseco" or the "Company").  The consolidated  balance sheet as of
June 30, 1995, the  consolidated  statements of operations for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 1995, and the consolidated  statement of cash flows
for the six months ended June 30, 1995, presented in the Company's Form 10-Q for
the  quarterly  period  ended June 30, 1995,  have been  restated to reflect the
consolidation of the accounts of CCP Insurance,  Inc. ("CCP")  effective January
1, 1995 (see "Basis of Presentation - Consolidation issues" below).

     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     Our unaudited  consolidated  financial statements as of and for the periods
ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring  items,  which are  necessary to present  fairly  Conseco's  financial
position and results of operations on a basis  consistent with that of our prior
audited consolidated financial statements.  We have reclassified certain amounts
from the prior period to conform to the 1995 presentation.

     Consolidation issues. In August 1995, Conseco completed the purchase of all
of the shares of common stock of CCP we did not  previously own in a transaction
pursuant to which CCP was merged with Conseco,  with Conseco being the surviving
corporation.  Accordingly,  the  accompanying  financial  statements  have  been
restated to include  the  accounts of CCP on the  consolidated  basis  effective
January  1,  1995.  Such  restatement  has  no  effect  on  the  net  income  or
shareholders' equity we report.

     Prior to its initial public offering ("IPO") on February 15, 1994,  Western
National  Corporation  ("WNC") was a wholly owned subsidiary of Conseco. We sold
60 percent of our equity interest in WNC in the IPO. After the IPO, we no longer
had unilateral control of WNC and we ceased including the accounts of WNC in our
consolidated financial statements.  We sold our remaining 40 percent interest in
WNC on December 23, 1994.  Therefore,  we had no earnings  from WNC in the first
six months of 1995 and our equity in  earnings of WNC in the first six months of
1994  reflected:  (i) all of WNC's earnings for the period through  February 15,
1994;  and (ii) 40 percent of WNC's  earnings  for the period from  February 15,
1994, through June 30, 1994.

     Conseco Capital Partners II, L.P. ("Partnership II") acquired American Life
Group,  Inc. ("AGP," formerly The Statesman Group, Inc. prior to its name change
in  August  1995)  on  September  29,  1994  (the   "Acquisition").   After  the
Acquisition,  Partnership II owns 80 percent of the outstanding  shares of AGP's
common  stock.  Because  Conseco  Partnership  Management,  Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Conseco,  is the sole general  partner of Partnership  II, Conseco
controls Partnership II and AGP, even though its ownership interest is less than
50 percent. Because of this control, Conseco's consolidated financial statements
are  required to include the  accounts of  Partnership  II and AGP.  Immediately
after the Acquisition,  Conseco,  through its direct  investment and through its
equity  interests in the  investments  made by Bankers Life Holding  Corporation
("BLH"),  CCP and WNC, had a 27 percent  ownership  interest in AGP. At June 30,
1995, Conseco's ownership interest in AGP had increased to 28 percent as the net
result of changes in our ownership  percentage in BLH and CCP,  partially offset
by: (i) the sale of Conseco's 40 percent equity  interest in WNC on December 23,
1994,  and;  (ii)  the  sale  of a  portion  of  CCP's  investment  in AGP to an
unaffiliated company.

     We  accounted  for the  Acquisition  of AGP  using the  purchase  method of
accounting.  Under purchase accounting,  we allocated the total purchase cost of
AGP to the assets and liabilities  acquired based on their fair values, with the
excess of the total purchase cost over the fair value of the net assets acquired
recorded as goodwill.

     ADJUSTMENT TO ACTIVELY MANAGED FIXED MATURITIES

     We classify fixed maturity  investments  into three  categories:  "actively
managed" (which are carried at estimated fair value),  "trading  account" (which
are carried at estimated  fair value) and "held to maturity"  (which are carried
at amortized  cost).  We did not classify any fixed maturity  investments in the
trading account or held to maturity categories at June 30, 1995.

     Adjustments  to carry actively  managed fixed maturity  investments at fair
value  have no effect on our  earnings.  We  record  them,  net of tax and other
adjustments,  as an  adjustment to  shareholders'  equity.  The following  table
summarizes the effect of these  adjustments on Conseco's  actively managed fixed
maturities as of June 30, 1995.

BANKERS LIFE HOLDING CORPORATION

       On June 28, 1995, we completed the program to acquire  additional  shares
of BLH common  stock  approved by the  Company's  Board of  Directors on May 26,
1995. A total of 12.8 million  shares were  purchased for $262.4 million in open
market and negotiated transactions during 1995. The shares purchased represented
24  percent  of the  outstanding  shares  of BLH  common  stock  increasing  our
ownership of BLH to 85 percent.  We funded the  acquisition  with available cash
and  proceeds  from our  revolving  credit  agreements.  Income tax  expense was
reduced  by $66.5  million  in the  second  quarter  of 1995 as a result  of the
release of deferred  income taxes  previously  accrued on  undistributed  income
related to BLH. Such deferred tax is no longer required since we now own over 80
percent of BLH and the income this tax relates to can be  distributed to Conseco
without the payment of such tax.

       We were required to use step-basis accounting when we acquired additional
shares of BLH common stock in 1995 and previous  acquisitions.  As a result, the
assets and liabilities of BLH included in our June 30, 1995 consolidated balance
sheet  represent the following  combination of values:  (i) the portion of BLH's
net assets acquired by Conseco in the November 1992  acquisition is valued as of
that  acquisition  date;  (ii) the  portion  of BLH's  net  assets  acquired  in
September 1993 is valued as of that date;  (iii) the portion of BLH's net assets
acquired  during 1995 is valued as of the date of their purchase (for accounting
convenience  June 30,  1995,  has been used);  and (iv) the portion of BLH's net
assets owned by minority  interests is valued  based on a  combination  of (i) -
(iii)  and the  historical  bases  of the net  assets  acquired  in the  initial
acquisition in 1992.

       The acquisition of additional  shares of BLH common stock in 1995 had the
following effects on Conseco's  consolidated  balance sheet accounts (dollars in
millions):

     CHANGES IN NOTES PAYABLE

     Notes payable of Conseco

      In June 1995, the maximum borrowings  permitted under our revolving credit
facility was increased by $50.0 million to $250.0 million.  At June 30, 1995, we
had drawn $225.0 million under this facility.  The average  interest rate on the
borrowings was 6.8 percent at June 30, 1995.

     At June 30, 1995,  notes payable of Conseco include the senior notes of CCP
due 2004. The senior notes bear interest at 10.5 percent payable  semi-annually,
are  unsecured and rank pari passu with all other  unsecured and  unsubordinated
debt of Conseco. The notes are not redeemable prior to maturity and are publicly
traded on the New York Stock Exchange.

    Notes payable of Partnership II entities (not direct obligations of Conseco)

     During March 1995, AGP made a scheduled $15.0 million  principal payment on
its senior term loan.  The interest  rates on this loan at June 30,  1995,  were
8.25 percent for the $115.0  million  borrowed  under Tranche A and 8.75 percent
for the $40.0 million borrowed under Tranche B.

     During the six months ended June 30, 1995, $9.1 million principal amount of
AGP's  debentures  was  converted  and  retired.  Cash  to  pay  holders  of the
convertible debentures that remain outstanding is being held in escrow until the
convertible debentures are retired.

     Notes payable of BLH (not direct obligations of Conseco)

     During April 1995, BLH made a scheduled $16.0 million  principal payment on
its senior term loan. The interest rate on this loan was 8.3 percent at June 30,
1995.

                                   (unaudited)




     CHANGES IN CAPITAL STOCK

     We repurchased  2.0 million shares of our common stock during the first six
months of 1995 as part of our previously announced stock repurchase program. The
total  cost of shares  repurchased  during the first six months of 1995 of $92.4
million was allocated to  shareholders'  equity  accounts as follows:  (i) $15.0
million to common stock and  additional  paid-in  capital (such  allocation  was
based on the average common stock and paid-in  capital  balance per share);  and
(ii) $77.4 million to retained earnings. In April 1995, we announced that we had
terminated our common stock repurchase program.

     During  the first six  months of 1995,  we issued  44,848  shares of common
stock upon the exercise of stock options.  Proceeds from the exercise of options
of $.4 million  and the related tax benefit of $.1 million  were added to common
stock and additional paid-in capital.

     During the first six months of 1995, we issued 4,051 shares of common stock
to employee benefit plans.  Additionally,  we added $2.0 million to common stock
and additional paid-in capital related to employee benefit plans.

     REINSURANCE

     The  cost  of  reinsurance  ceded  for  policies  containing  mortality  or
morbidity  risks totaled $33.3 million and $12.2 million in the first six months
of 1995 and 1994,  respectively.  We deducted  this cost from  insurance  policy
income.  Reinsurance  premiums  assumed on policies  containing  mortality risks
totaled  $3.4 million and $2.4 million in the first six months of 1995 and 1994,
respectively.  Reinsurance  recoveries  netted against insurance policy benefits
totaled  $26.6  million  and $10.6  million  in the first six months of 1995 and
1994, respectively.

     Certain annuity policies that were sold by WNC, and  subsequently  ceded to
CCP through a reinsurance  agreement,  with an  accumulated  account  balance of
approximately  $73 million at June 30, 1995, are subject to a provision  whereby
they may be recaptured by WNC. WNC informed the Company in February 1995 that it
wished to exercise its option to recapture these  policies.  This recapture will
transpire  upon the  establishment  of a  mutually  agreed  upon  value  for the
business.

     CHANGES IN MINORITY INTEREST

     Changes in the 1995 balances include the acquisition of 12.8 million shares
of BLH  common  stock in 1995  (described  above  under  "Bankers  Life  Holding
Corporation")  which  increased  our  common  ownership  of BLH  to 85  percent.
Minority interest at June 30, 1995, included:  (i) $82.7 million interest in the
common stock of BLH; (ii) $99.0  million  interest in the  redeemable  preferred
stock of a subsidiary of AGP; (iii) $15.1 million interest in preferred stock of
AGP; (iv) $148.1 million  interest in Partnership II and the common stock of AGP
and its subsidiaries.

     Changes in minority  interest  during the first six months of 1995 and 1994
are summarized below:

     PENDING MERGER

     On May 21, 1995, Conseco and CCP signed a definitive merger agreement under
which Conseco will acquire all of the approximately 11.8 million CCP shares that
Conseco  does not  already  own for  $23.25 per share in cash.  The  transaction
requires  the  approval  of holders of a majority  of CCP's  outstanding  shares
(other than shares held by  Conseco)  voting at a special  stockholders  meeting
which will be held on August 25, 1995.
