Item 1.03 Bankruptcy or Receivership.

On October 27, 2008, Brooke Corporation (NASDAQ: BXXX) and Brooke Capital Corporation (AMEX: BCP) filed petitions for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. This matter, "In RE Brooke Corporation and Brooke Capital Corporation" file numbers 08-22786 (lead) and 08-22789. These petitions were filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Kansas City, Kansas. Joint administration for the two companies was approved by the court on October 28, 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 Brooke Corporation; 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.
