             READ THE ATTACHED LETTER FROM MR. JOHNSON ON BEHALF OF
               KELCOR, INC. TO MR. HART AT PICO DATED MAY 9, 1997.

*    Mr. Johnson offered to buy PICO's 9.8% interest for $12.50 per share, A 25%
     PREMIUM over the market

*    At the time of this offer,  Kelcor,  Inc. and Mr. Johnson owned 4.1% of the
     shares as reported in "The Committee's" proxy statement.

*    By  purchasing  an  additional  9.8% of the shares  from PICO,  THE JOHNSON
     HOLDINGS WOULD HAVE BEEN 13.9%, THEREBY VIOLATING THE VERY SAME BYLAW WHICH
     HE HAS SUED YOUR TRUST TO ENFORCE.

            AND JOHNSON SAYS THIS PROXY CONTEST IS NOT ABOUT CONTROL.
             CAN YOU BELIEVE DAVID JOHNSON AFTER READING HIS LETTER?

Clearly,  David  Johnson's  actions  and  published  intentions  do not  warrant
shareholder support for his effort to defeat the bylaw amendment. DEFEAT JOHNSON
BY VOTING FOR THE BYLAW AMENDMENT PROPOSAL ON THE GOLD PROXY CARD.

If you have already voted  against the  proposal,  you have every legal right to
change  your mind and vote FOR it, as your Board  recommends.  ONLY YOUR  LATEST
DATED PROXY CARD WILL COUNT.

envelope provided.                         ----

Dear Mr. Hart:

As a final gesture to avoid litigation, please be advised as follows:

1)   We will  purchase  the first  9.8%  shares of Nooney  that PICO  bought for
     $12.50 a share.

2)   We would  consider a purchase of the  remaining  shares held by PICO or its
     clients if we can come to an agreement on the first 9.8%.

We look forward to a response in the next several days.

Very truly yours,

/s/ David L. Johnson

David L. Johnson
Vice President
