PART III — NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

Signature Group Holdings, Inc. (f/k/a Fremont General Corporation, herein referred to as the “Company”) was unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2010 (the “September 10-Q”) by the November 15, 2010 due date or within the five-day extension permitted by the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

As previously disclosed, on June 18, 2008, Fremont General Corporation filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California, Santa Ana Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”). Pursuant to the “Signature Group Holdings, LLC’s Chapter 11 Fourth Amended Plan of Reorganization of Fremont General Corporation, Joined by James McIntyre as Co-Plan Proponent, Dated June 8, 2010” (the “Plan”) and the Bankruptcy Court’s amended order, dated as of June 9, 2010, confirming the Plan, Fremont General Corporation emerged from bankruptcy proceedings and filed Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Nevada on June 11, 2010 which, among other things, changed the Company’s name to Signature Group Holdings, Inc. The Company successfully emerged from bankruptcy proceedings with a new management team, Board of Directors, and business plan and operating strategy. At the time that the Company emerged from bankruptcy proceedings, the Company was not current in certain of its periodic filings (as discussed below) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“1934 Act”). As part of the Plan, the Company committed to become current in its periodic filings under Section 13 of the 1934 Act, in a comprehensive, practical and efficient manner in order to provide current information about the Company and its new business plan and operating strategy to shareholders as soon as reasonably practicable.

In addition to the September 10-Q, the Company has not yet been able to file its Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, nor its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2008, June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2008, March 31, 2009, June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2009, March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010. Since the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy proceedings, the Company’s new management team has been and continues to work diligently to address the Company’s delinquent 1934 Act reports. However, the Company is not yet able to state specifically when it will be able to file the September 10-Q or its other delinquent periodic reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q.

(2)		Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s).
		Yes o No þ

Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009

Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2010, June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2010

(3)		Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?
		Yes þ No o


		If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

As more fully discussed in Part III hereof, at the time the Company successfully emerged from bankruptcy proceedings in June 2010, the Company was not current in certain of its periodic filings under the 1934 Act. Because the Company has not yet been able to file its Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2008, June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2008, March 31, 2009, June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2009, March 31, 2010, June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2010, management is unable to present or discuss the Company’s results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009 or for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2010. Consequently, the Company is not in a position to quantify any significant change in results of operations for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the quarterly period ended September 30, 2009. The Company has entered into a number of si gnificant transactions since it emerged from bankruptcy proceedings that were reported in the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K previously filed with the SEC, which transactions are expected to impact the Company’s financial statements for such interim period.
