Item 1.03 Bankruptcy or Receivership.

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A amends the Form 8-K filed by Brooke Corporation (NASDAQ: BXXX; the "Company") on October 29, 2008. This amended Form 8-K correctly states the dates of the bankruptcy filing and the disclosed actions of the bankruptcy court and does not otherwise change the substantive disclosure of the previous Form 8-K.

On October 28, 2008, the Company and the Company's majority-owned subsidiary, Brooke Capital Corporation (AMEX: BCP), filed petitions for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. Jurisdiction over this matter, "In RE Brooke Corporation and Brooke Capital Corporation," file numbers 08-22786 (lead) and 08-22789, was accepted on that same date by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Kansas City, Kansas. Joint administration for the two companies' bankrupt estates was approved by the court on October 29, 2008, and Albert Riederer was appointed as bankruptcy trustee for the jointly-administered estate.

These bankruptcy petitions have no impact on Generations Bank or its customers. (Generations Bank is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company; Generations Bank has not filed for protection under bankruptcy laws.) Generations Bank remains open and is conducting business as usual. The deposits of customers of Generations Bank will continue to be insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. More information about federal deposit insurance limits may be found at the FDIC's website at www.myfdicinsurance.gov.
