LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

  
 

Lillie Barnes, et al. vs 1st Franklin Financial Corporation, et al.:  Filed in the Circuit Court of Holmes County, Mississippi, Civil Action No. CV 2002-75.

 

This lawsuit alleges fraud and deceit in the Company's sale of credit insurance, refinancing practices and use of arbitration agreements.  The plaintiffs seek statutory, compensatory and punitive damages.  The case was initially filed on February 21, 2002, but the defendants were not served until the latter part of June 2002.  Action has been taken to remove the case to Federal Court based on the diversity of the defendants and to compel arbitration.  Management believes that it is too early to asses the Company's potential liability in connection with this suit, and the Company is diligently contesting and defending this case.
