The purpose of the acquisition of shares of Common Stock is for investment purposes and also for the purpose of maintaining a controlling interest in UTI by Mr. Correll and/or Reporting Persons affiliated with him.

One or more of the Reporting Persons may from time to time purchase or sell shares of Common Stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions depending upon, among other things, market conditions, the market value of the Common Stock and the availability of shares for sale, the Reporting Person's liquidity and availability of funds or other similar factors. In addition, the percentage ownership of the Reporting Persons of Common Stock may be increased as a result of the repurchase of shares by UTI through share repurchase programs or otherwise.

Page 11 of 22

The Reporting Persons also, from time to time, will evaluate the structure of their relationship with UTI, the ownership structure of UTI shares by the Reporting Persons, the structure of the relationship of UTI and its subsidiaries and the merits of investments in UTI or restructurings of the UTI holding company organization, which could include acquisitions or dispositions of additional securities of UTI or a business combination involving UTI and one or more of the Reporting Persons or their affiliates or subsidiaries of UTI.

One or more of the Reporting Persons, directly or through representatives, have a role in the management of UTI through board representation and otherwise.  Mr. Correll serves as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of UTI and UTI’s subsidiary, Universal Guaranty Life Insurance Company.  Ward F. Correll is a director of UTI and Universal Guaranty Life Insurance Company.  The Reporting Persons as a result of the foregoing have the ability to influence UTI and its strategic plans, and may recommend and implement changes in the management and/or the board of directors of UTI and its subsidiaries as they consider appropriate, including the increase or reduction in the size of the boards of directors and/or the selection of successor directors upon the retirement or resignation of directors of UTI and/or its subsidiaries or otherwise upon the occurrence of vacancies on their boards of directors.

UTI may from time to time issue shares of Common Stock pursuant to compensatory arrangements, including pursuant to the stock purchase plan it has in place pursuant to which directors, officers and employees of UTI and its subsidiaries may acquire shares of Common Stock, and may issue shares of Common Stock to raise additional capital, to the extent determined appropriate by the board of directors of UTI.

Except as described above and in Item 5 hereof, the Reporting Persons do not presently have any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in (i) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of UTI, or the disposition of securities of UTI, (ii) an extraordinary corporate transaction involving UTI or its subsidiaries, (iii) the sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of UTI or its subsidiaries, (iv) a change in the present board of directors or management of UTI, (v) a material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of UTI, (vi) any other material change in UTI's business or corporate structure, (vii) a change in UTI's charter or bylaws or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of UTI by any person, (viii) a class of securities of UTI being delisted from a national securities exchange or cease being authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association, (ix) a class of equity securities of UTI becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act, or (x) any action similar to those enumerated above.

Item 5.  Interest In Securities Of The Issuer

(a-b)  The beneficial ownership of the Common Stock by each Reporting Person is as follows. Each Reporting Person has sole voting and dispositive power over the shares listed opposite the Reporting Person's name, except as noted:

Page 12 of 22 

Reporting Person	Number of Shares Owned (%)(1)
Jesse T. Correll (2) First Southern Bancorp, Inc.(2)(3) First Southern Funding, LLC(2)(3) First Southern Holdings, Inc.(2)(3) Ward F. Correll(4) WCorrell, Limited Partnership(2) Cumberland Lake Shell, Inc.(4)		191,058 (4.98%) 1,606,785 (41.91%) 341,997 (8.92%) 1,357,716 (35.41%) 264,498 (6.9%) 72,750 (1.9%) 257,501 (6.72%)
Total(3)(5)		2,404,338  (62.71%)

(1) The percentage of outstanding shares is based on 3,834,031 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of December 31, 2008.

(2) The share ownership of Mr. Correll includes 118,308 shares of Common Stock owned by him individually.  The share ownership of Mr. Correll also includes 72,750 shares of Common Stock held by WCorrell, Limited Partnership, a limited partnership in which Mr. Correll serves as managing general partner and, as such, has sole voting and dispositive power over the shares held by it.

In addition, by virtue of his ownership of voting securities of FSF and FSBI, and in turn, their ownership of 100% of the outstanding membership interests of FSH, Mr. Correll may be deemed to beneficially own the total number of shares of Common Stock owned by FSH (as well as the shares owned by FSBI and FSF directly), and may be deemed to share with FSH (as well as FSBI and FSF) the right to vote and to dispose of such shares.  Mr. Correll owns approximately 81.5% of the outstanding membership interests of FSF; he owns directly approximately 41.59%%, he has immediately exercisable options to purchase approximately 16.98%, companies he controls own approximately 10.55%, and he has the power to vote and an option to purchase but does not own approximately 2.43%, of the outstanding voting common equity of FSBI (consisting in part of shares entitled to one vote per share and in part of shares entitled to ten votes per share).  FSBI and FSF in turn own 99% and 1%, respectively, of the outstanding membership interests of FSH.  The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock held by these other Reporting Persons, as shown in the above table, is 1,948,782 shares.

(3) The share ownership of FSBI consists of 249,069 shares of Common Stock held by FSBI directly and 1,357,716 shares of Common Stock held by FSH of which FSBI is a 99% member and FSF is a 1% member, as further described in this Item 5.  As a result, FSBI may be deemed to share the voting and dispositive power over the shares held by FSH.

(4) The share ownership of Ward F. Correll includes 6,997 shares of Common Stock owned by him individually.  The share ownership of Mr. Correll also includes the shares of Common Stock held by CLS, all of the outstanding voting shares of which are owned by Ward F. Correll.  As a result, Ward F. Correll may be deemed to share the voting and dispositive power over these shares.

Page 13 of 22

(5) Mr. Correll, FSBI, FSF and FSH have agreed in principle to act together for the purpose of acquiring or holding equity securities of UTI. In addition, because of their relationships with these Reporting Persons, Ward F. Correll, CLS and WCorrell, Limited Partnership may also be deemed to be members of this group.  Therefore, for purposes of this Schedule 13D, each may be deemed to have acquired beneficial ownership of the equity securities of UTI beneficially owned by each of the other Reporting Persons.

(c)  FSH sold a total of 124,075 shares of Common Stock on December 31, 2008, and sold an additional 2,000 shares of Common Stock on January 2, 2009, in privately negotiated transactions.  FSBI sold a total of 6,212 shares of Common Stock on December 31, 2008 in privately negotiated transactions.  The purchase price of all of the sold shares was $11.50 per share.

On December 31, 2008, First Southern Capital Corp., LLC (“FSC”), formerly a Reporting Person, was dissolved.  On January 6, 2009, the 237,333 shares of Common Stock owned by FSC were allocated to its members (including Mr. Correll and CLS), in liquidation of their membership interests.  The shares were valued at $11.50 for the purpose of determining the total value of FSC and the resulting allocation of the number of shares distributable to each member in accordance with their respective Sharing Ratios.  As a result of such dissolution, Mr. Correll was allocated 5,604 shares of Common Stock and CLS was allocated 158,978 shares of Common Stock.

First Southern Investments, LLC (“FSI”), formerly a Reporting Person, sold 17,542 shares of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share on December 31, 2008 in a privately negotiated transaction.  On January 15, 2009, FSI was dissolved and allocated 6,544 shares of Common Stock to certain of its members in liquidation of their membership interests, which members then sold such 6,544 shares of Common Stock to FSF at a price of $11.50 per share in a privately negotiated transaction.

Except as described above, there have been no transactions in the Common Stock of UTI effected within the past 60 days of the date of the filing of this amendment to the Schedule 13D of the Reporting Persons.

(d)  Not amended.

(e)  FSC and FSI are no longer Reporting Persons.  FSC and FSI were dissolved effective December 31, 2008 and January 15, 2009, respectively, and each of them sold for cash or allocated and distributed to its members in liquidation the shares of UTI Common Stock owned by it.  See Item 5(c).

Item 6.  Contracts,  Arrangements, Understandings, Or Relationships With Respect To Securities Of The Issuer

Not amended.
