ITEM 12.  Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On October 23, 2003, the registrant conducted a conference call announcing the results of the Company’s operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2003. The conference call presentation is attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this report, and is incorporated herein by reference and shall be deemed “furnished” for purposes of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended.

The registrant discloses net operating income, a non GAAP financial measure, which it defines as net income adjusted for after-tax net realized investment gains and losses. Because net operating income is not a term defined by GAAP, the registrant’s net operating income may not be comparable to similarly title measures reported by other companies. However, the registrant believes that this measure provides useful information to help investors measure the results of its regular business activities. The registrant utilizes net operating income in its budget and planning process and, in part, in measuring actual performance.

Signatures

     Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
