<B>ITEM 5.  Other Events and Regulation FD Disclosure</B>

On April 30, 1998, United Trust Group, Inc. ("UTG")(formerly United Trust, Inc.)
entered  into an  "Acquisition  Agreement"  with  First  Southern  Funding,  LLC
("FSF")(formerly  First  Southern  Funding,  Inc.)  whereby  FSF and  affiliates
acquired  shares of common  stock of UTG from UTG and certain UTG  shareholders.
This  agreement was  completed and closed on November 20, 1998.  Included in the
acquisition  agreement was a provision  relating to an earnings covenant whereby
UTG warranted UTG and its subsidiaries and affiliates would have future earnings
of at least  $30,000,000 over a five-year period beginning January 1, 1998. Such
earnings are computed based on statutory results with additional  adjustments to
be made at the end of the  five-year  period as outlined in the  agreement.  Any
shortfall  in the  earnings  warranty  are to be paid by UTG in the  form of UTG
common  stock  valued  at $15.00  per share up to a maximum  number of shares of
500,000. The final accounting and share issuance, if any, are to be completed by
April 30, 2003.

UTG has  completed  the  final  accounting  as  required  by the  agreement  and
determined  it has  fallen  significantly  short  of  the  warranty.  The  final
accounting  resulted in a  calculated  shares to be issued of  811,621.  As this
amount  exceeds  the  maximum  number of  shares  as  stated  in the  agreement.
Therefore,  on April 30, 2003, UTG issued to FSF and its assigns  500,000 shares
of common stock of UTG. Such shares were issued from the authorized but unissued
shares of UTG common stock.  Following the issuance of the above shares, UTG has
outstanding  4,005,085 shares of common stock as of April 30, 2003. Mr. Jesse T.
Correll,  directly and indirectly through controlled entities including FSF owns
or controls 65.4% of the outstanding common stock of UTG.
