         As of February 28, 1997, there were approximately 9,100 holders of
record of Common Stock.

         The Company has not paid cash dividends on its Common Stock to date.
The Company currently intends to retain all future earnings to finance
continued expansion and operation of its business and subsidiaries.  Any
decision as to the payment of dividends to the stockholders of the Company will
be made by the Company's Board of Directors and will depend upon the Company's
future results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements and
such other factors as the Board of Directors considers appropriate.

         In addition, dividends paid by the domestic insurance subsidiaries of
the Company to the Company out of earned surplus in any year without prior
approval of state regulatory authorities are limited by the laws and
regulations of the state of domicile.  Prior approval by state regulatory
authorities is required for the payment of dividends by domestic insurance
companies which exceed the limits set by the laws of the state of domicile.
See Note H of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this
Report.
