ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.
- -------  -------------


  On January 13, 1999 the Registrant effected the acquisition of 100% of the
common stock of Great Midwest Life Insurance Company, a Texas life insurance
company ("Great Midwest"), for an aggregate purchase price of $939,119.  Of such
purchase price, cash of $607,312 was paid to seven of the eight shareholders of
Great Midwest; with the eighth shareholder receiving a promissory note for a
principal amount of $331,807, payable in three equal annual installments at an
annual interest rate of 6% on the unpaid principal balance. None of the
shareholders of Great Midwest are affiliated with the Registrant.  The
Registrant funded $350,000 of the cash portion of the purchase price with a loan
from BancfFrst, Oklahoma City.  In determining the purchase price, which was
negotiated on an arms' length basis, the Registrant took into consideration the
discounted value of the future revenue stream attributable to the annual
premiums to be paid pursuant to existing life insurance contracts and the
capital and surplus capital balances of Great Midwest.  The Registrant plans to
use a portion of the proceeds of a public offering of its common stock to repay
the bank borrowing.  A registration statement relating to such public offering,
pursuant to which the Registrant is offering an aggregate 1,000,000 shares of
common stock, was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission
on January 11, 1999.
