ITEM 8.  OTHER EVENTS

COMMERCE GROUP CORP. IS LISTED ON THE OTC BB

Effective September 30, 2005, Commerce Group Corp.'s common shares were
reinstated to trade on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTC BB)
system and its symbol is CGCO.OB.  Commerce will retain a dual listing by
also being traded on the Pink Sheets under the trade symbol of CGCO.PK.

Commerce Group Corp. was chartered in September 1962 and is now owned by
approximately 3,600 shareholders.  Its common shares have been publicly
traded since 1968.  As of March 31, 2005, 23,823,734 common shares are
issued and outstanding.

Commerce Group Corp. for 37 years has been exploring, exploiting, and
developing gold and silver ore reserves in the Republic of El Salvador,
Central America.  Commerce Group Corp.  produced gold and silver from
1972 through 1978 and from 1995 through 2000.  The gold ore reserves at
Commerce Group Corp.'s San Sebastian Gold Mine exceed 1.5 million ounces
of gold.  It's possible to increase the total gold and silver ore
reserves to 3.4 million ounces.

Commerce Group Corp. has expanded its mining concession from 1,698 to
21,489 acres by obtaining concessions/licenses from the Government of El
Salvador.  Commerce Group Corp. has in its control a total of 12 formerly
operated gold and silver mines.  These additions greatly augment the
potential of additional gold and silver ore reserves.

Commerce Group Corp.'s primary objective is to enhance share value by
expanding the gold ore reserves, joint venturing with others or by
entering into mutually agreed upon business combinations, and when back
in production, earning an above average profit.  In addition, Commerce
Group Corp. is aggressively pursing an acquisition or merger.
