      <p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">&#160;</p>
      <p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">The Registrant issued a press release on October
        10, 2005 announcing a partial loss of business from one of its largest tax
        and
        flood customers and the impairment of its customer relationship intangible
        asset
        related to its acquisition of LandAmerica Tax and Flood Services, Inc. (&#8220;LATF&#8221;),
        formerly known as LERETA Corp., on October 1, 2003. Effective October 2005,
        LATF
        will no longer provide tax services to Washington Mutual&#8217;s (&#8220;WaMu&#8221;) operations
        in two states, California and Colorado, but will continue to manage WaMu&#8217;s tax
        and flood services in 23 states in the western United States.</p>
      <p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">&#160;</p>
      <p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">As a result of the loss of business from WaMu,
        the Registrant conducted an impairment test of LATF&#8217;s long-lived assets in
        accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, &#8220;Accounting
        for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.&#8221; Additionally, the
        Registrant conducted an impairment test of LATF&#8217;s goodwill intangible in
        accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, &#8220;Goodwill
        and Other Intangible Assets&#8221; before its annual testing date of October 1, 2005,
        as the loss of &#160;business was deemed to be an indicator of impairment.&#160;
        On October 7, 2005, it was determined that LATF&#8217;s customer relationship
        intangible was impaired by $37.6 million and will be reflected in the
        Registrant&#8217;s results of operations for the three and nine months ended September
        30, 2005. In addition, it was determined that LATF&#8217;s goodwill balance of $188.0
        million was not impaired. It is not expected that the impairment charge will
        result in any future cash expenditures.</p>

Item 2.06. Material Impairments.
The Registrant issued a press release on October
        10, 2005 announcing a partial loss of business from one of its largest tax
        and
        flood customers and the impairment of its customer relationship intangible
        asset
        related to its acquisition of LandAmerica Tax and Flood Services, Inc. ("LATF"),
        formerly known as LERETA Corp., on October 1, 2003. Effective October 2005,
        LATF
        will no longer provide tax services to Washington Mutual's ("WaMu") operations
        in two states, California and Colorado, but will continue to manage WaMu's tax
        and flood services in 23 states in the western United States.
As a result of the loss of business from WaMu,
        the Registrant conducted an impairment test of LATF's long-lived assets in
        accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting
        for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." Additionally, the
        Registrant conducted an impairment test of LATF's goodwill intangible in
        accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill
        and Other Intangible Assets" before its annual testing date of October 1, 2005,
        as the loss of  business was deemed to be an indicator of impairment. 
        On October 7, 2005, it was determined that LATF's customer relationship
        intangible was impaired by $37.6 million and will be reflected in the
        Registrant's results of operations for the three and nine months ended September
        30, 2005. In addition, it was determined that LATF's goodwill balance of $188.0
        million was not impaired. It is not expected that the impairment charge will
        result in any future cash expenditures.
The press release is being furnished as Exhibit
        99.1 to this report and is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.06.
Item 9.01. Financial Statements and
        Exhibits.
