ITEM 8.01 Other Events
In connection with the preparation of the December 31, 2005 financial statements, the Company determined that it would incur an after-tax loss of $3.8 million in connection with its previously announced disposition of Investors Management Group, Ltd.

The amount of the loss is primarily due to a tax charge estimated to be approximately $3.2 million, resulting from the Company’s tax basis in IMG.
