Icahn, a citizen of the United States of America (collectively, the "Registrants"), relating to the common shares, no par value (the "Shares"), of Brooke Group Ltd. (the "Issuer"), is amended to furnish the additional information set forth herein. All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the previously filed statement on Schedule 13D. Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration The aggregate purchase price of the 244,000 Shares purchased by the Registrants not previously reported on a Schedule 13D by the Registrants was $1,236,891.95 (including commissions). The source of funding for the purchase of these Shares was general working capital of the Registrants. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer (a) As of the close of business on October 7, 1998, Registrants may be deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, 1,574,100 Shares, representing approximately 7.7% of the Issuer's outstanding Shares (based upon the 20,473,730 Shares stated to be outstanding as of August 14, 1998 by the Issuer in the Issuer's Form 10-Q filing, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 17, 1998).
