SECTION 2 - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 2.03 - CREATION OF A DIRECT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION OR AN OBLIGATION UNDER AN OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENT OF A REGISTRANT

On August 5, 2015 the Registrant completed a $1,600,000 transaction which resulted in its acquisition from certain of the Registrant's note holders of 49.3% ($1.725 million face amount) of the outstanding senior promissory notes comprising part of a $3.5 million financing dating from 2008, together with interest accrued thereon.  The notes representing the $1.775 million balance of this financing (together with accrued interest) had been acquired by an affiliate of the Registrant in July 2014.  The entire issue of senior promissory notes had been in default.  Upon closing of the acquisition, the collateral securing the senior promissory notes was released to the Registrant.

The transaction was funded through a sale in a private offering of investment units (Units) that included minority interests in the Registrant's wholly owned subsidiary, First Surety Corporation (FSC), and promissory notes that are convertible into Units. The Units consisted of 5% of the outstanding shares of FSC and 500,000 common shares of the Registrant. The Registrant's Board of Directors has authorized the sale of up to nine Units, which, if completed, would include forty-five percent (45%) of the outstanding stock of FSC. The financing was a product of the Registrant's ongoing efforts to restructure its balance sheet to position itself to take advantage of business opportunities
