Section 1 - Registrant’s Business and Operations

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 23, 2005, the Registrant borrowed $500,000 on a subordinated basis from Darrell R. Wells, an executive officer, director and shareholder of the Registrant. These funds are to be used for working capital purposes, including commercial bank debt service, and to permit maintaining the Registrant’s existing investment portfolio and other liquidity. The loan is unsecured and has a maturity of June 30, 2006. Initially, the loan bears interest at eight and one-quarter percent (8.25%) per annum payable on the first day of each calendar quarter (beginning January 1, 2006). The rate will adjust on each interest payment date so as to equal the greater of six percent (6%) or one percent (1%) over its bank lender’s prime rate on that date. Pursuant to a subordination agreement required by the bank lender, the Registrant will not be permitted to pay principal on the loan except with the approval of the bank lender or to pay interest on the loan at any time a default exists under its loan from the bank lender or certain agreements between Mr. Wells and the bank lender. The Registrant’s failure to make a payment to Mr. Wells that is prohibited by the subordination agreement will not constitute a default under the loan from Mr. Wells. Subject to the subordination agreement, upon a default, Mr. Wells may, at his option, accelerate the entire principal balance of and all accrued interest on the loan and increase the rate of interest applicable to the entire unpaid principal balance of the loan by four percent (4%).
 
This loan is on the same terms, in all material respects, as a $1,000,000 loan from Mr. Wells to the Registrant dated December 23, 2003 and a $2,000,000 loan from Mr. Wells to the Registrant dated December 19, 2002, both of which loans were previously amended to extend the maturity date thereof to June 30, 2006, and a $500,000 loan from Mr. Wells to the Registrant dated September 28, 2005, also having a maturity date of June 30, 2006. Mr. Wells is the Registrant’s principal shareholder, chairman of its Board of Directors, and President and Chief Executive Officer.

A copy of the promissory note for the loan from Mr. Wells is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.28, and is incorporated by reference herein.
