OTHER EVENTS. (a) ACCEL International Corporation ("ACCEL" or "the Company" or "the Registrant") is unable to timely file the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending June 30, 2001. On April 24, 2001, the Company filed SEC Form 8-K Current Report describing its inability to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2000, by its due date (extended) of April 16, 2001, or Form 10-Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2001. At that time ACCEL explained that the audit of the Company's financial statements for the year then ended had not been completed, because the auditors were unable to verify certain of the Company's new subsidiary's books and records. Unless the Registrant is able to close the prior year's audited financials, the Company will be unable to file financial reports for the year 2001. (b) The Registrant is unable to meet its current obligations, which exceed its current cash reserve. Unless the Company can successfully negotiate a long-term repayment program or obtain long-term financing, its ability to continue as a going concern is uncertain. (c) Contact: Gerald H.
