Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure

During the third quarter of 2005, variable alliance partner Southern Farm Bureau
Life Insurance Company recaptured a block of variable annuity contracts
previously assumed by FBL Financial Group with an account value totaling $45.5
million at September 30, 2005. The block was assumed through a modified
coinsurance agreement. Accordingly, the related insurance reserves and
supporting investments were not recorded in FBL's financial statements. A
pre-tax loss of $0.9 million, representing the excess of the related deferred
policy acquisition costs ($3.9 million) over the consideration received ($3.0
million), was recorded as a component of amortization of deferred policy
acquisition costs.
