         Pekin Casualty is wholly owned by Farmers.

         Decisions with respect to the voting and disposition of shares of
common stock and other securities, including the Shares of the Issuer, owned by
Farmers and Pekin Casualty are made by an Advisory Committee. The Advisory
Committee consists of six persons, all of whom are directors of the Issuer,
Pekin Casualty and Farmers. Because of the role of the Advisory Committee in
directing the voting and disposition of the Shares, all Shares owned by Farmers
and Pekin Casualty share voting and dispositive power.

         The members of the Advisory Committee, as of December 31, 1999, are
identified below. The Shares of the Issuer beneficially owned by each member,
are set forth next to the member's name.
