Item 5. Other Events.
On November 8, 1996, Atlantic American Corporation (the "Company") announced
corrections to its calculation of net income from continuing operations per
share for the second and third quarters of 1996. The corrections were necessary
in order to give effect to accruals for dividends on the Company's outstanding
preferred stock that were omitted in the previously announced earnings per share
computations. As a result, net income from continuing operations for the three
and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996, should have been $.09 and $.25
per share (rather than $.11 and $.31 per share), respectively. In addition,
giving effect to the accruals for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
1996, net income from continuing operations should have been $.08 and $.16 per
share (rather than $.10 and $.20 per share), respectively.
