INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

PICO Holdings, Inc.
  Employees 401(k) Retirement Plan and Trust
  Columbus, Ohio:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of PICO Holdings, Inc. Employees 401(k) Retirement Plan and Trust (the "Plan")
as of September 30, 1999 and 1998, and the related statement of changes in net
assets available for benefits for the year ended September 30, 1999. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
September 30, 1999 and 1998, and the changes in net assets available for
benefits for the year ended September 30, 1999 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules identified in
the index are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a
required part of the basic financial statements, but are supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. The supplemental information by fund in the statements of net assets
available for benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for
benefits is presented for the purpose of additional analysis rather than to
present the net assets available for benefits and changes in net assets
available for benefits of the individual funds. The supplemental schedules and
supplemental information by fund is the responsibility of the Plan's management.
Such supplemental schedules and supplemental information by fund have been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material
respects when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as
a whole.

PICO HOLDINGS, INC.
EMPLOYEES 401(k) RETIREMENT PLAN AND TRUST


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1.    DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

      The following description of the PICO Holdings, Inc. Employees 401(k)
      Retirement Plan and Trust (the "Plan") provides only general information.
      Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete
      description of the Plan's provisions.

      GENERAL - The Plan is a defined contribution 401(k) profit sharing plan
      covering eligible employees, as defined in the Plan Agreement, of PICO
      Holdings, Inc. (the Plan Sponsor). The Plan was adopted effective October
      1, 1989, to provide retirement benefits to employees of the Plan Sponsor.
      The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
      Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) and the Retirement Equity Act of 1984 and has
      been determined to be qualified for tax exempt status by the Internal
      Revenue Service (IRS). The Plan has been amended since receiving the IRS
      determination letter. However, the Plan Sponsor believes that the Plan is
      designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable
      requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.

      CONTRIBUTIONS - Each year, participants may contribute up to 5% of pretax
      annual compensation, as defined in the Plan, not to exceed $8,000. The
      Plan Sponsor matches 100% of the elective deferral of base compensation
      that a participant contributes to the Plan. Effective October 1997, the
      Plan Sponsor's matching contribution does not begin until the first day of
      the quarter after an employee completes one year of service. Additional
      amounts which represent profit sharing, as defined in the Plan, may be
      contributed at the option of the Plan Sponsor's Board of Directors.

      PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS - For investments held under the investment contract,
      each participant's account is credited with the participant's
      contributions, employer matching contributions, and withdrawals, as
      applicable, and allocations of (a) the Plan Sponsor's discretionary profit
      sharing contributions and (b) Plan earnings, and debited with an
      allocation of administrative expenses. Allocations are based on
      participant compensation or account balances, as defined. Forfeited
      balances of terminated participants' nonvested accounts are used to first
      reinstate previously forfeited account balances of reemployed participants
      and any remainder will be used to reduce the Plan Sponsor's discretionary
      profit sharing contribution for the current or subsequent Plan year in
      which the forfeiture occurs.

      For investments held in mutual funds, each participant's account is
      credited with an allocation of earnings, based on shares owned, and
      debited by withdrawals, as applicable.


                                      8
<PAGE>   9


      VESTING - Participants are immediately vested in their contributions, the
      employer matching contributions, plus earnings thereon. Vesting in the
      Plan Sponsor's discretionary profit sharing contribution portion of their
      accounts plus actual earnings thereon is based on years of credited
      service in accordance with the following schedule:

                               Years of Service                  Percentage
                               ----------------                  ----------

                               Less than three                        0%
                                       3                             20%
                                       4                             40%
                                       5                             60%
                                       6                             80%
                                       7 or more                    100%

      INVESTMENT OPTIONS - Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct
      the employee contributions and the matching contributions in 25%
      increments into any of the following investment options: Separate Account
      A, Separate Account B, or the Guaranteed Fund, which are offered to the
      Plan through an investment contract with American Physicians Life
      Insurance Company (APL), a Plan custodian. Effective October 1997, the
      Plan began offering two additional investment options to plan
      participants: PICO Holdings, Inc. common stock ("PICO Stock Fund") and
      Mutual Funds.

      Separate Account A has an investment objective to invest in individual
      securities that are selected on the basis of assessment of their relative
      undervaluation and their prospects for long-term appreciation. Elements
      such as dividend income and volatility of the security are important but
      secondary considerations. Separate Account B has an investment objective
      that is a more conservative approach with varying use of fixed income
      and/or high dividend securities to lower volatility and increase
      predictability of income. The amounts allocated to the Guaranteed Fund are
      retained in the general funds of APL, without requirements as to
      segregation of investments, and are credited with a guaranteed rate of
      return of 4%. The Plan Sponsor's discretionary profit sharing
      contributions are automatically allocated 50% to the Guaranteed Fund and
      50% to Separate Account B. Participants may change their investment
      options quarterly.

      LOANS TO PARTICIPANTS - Loans to participants are not permitted under the
      Plan. However, under Citation Insurance Group Salary Reduction Profit
      Sharing Plan (the "Citation Plan") which was approved to merge into the
      Plan effective December 31, 1997 (see Note 3), participant loans were
      permitted to roll over.

      PAYMENT OF BENEFITS - Upon termination of service, a participant may elect
      to receive either a lump-sum amount equal to the value of the
      participant's vested interest in his or her account, or annual
      installments. If the value of the participants' account is $3,500 or less,
      the Trustee shall distribute the entire vested account to the participant.
      Amounts payable to such participants at September 30, 1999 and 1998 were
      $142,498 and $300,016, respectively.

      PLAN TERMINATION - While the Plan Sponsor has not expressed any intent to
      discontinue the Plan or their contributions thereto, they have the right
      to do so at any time, subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of
      partial or total termination of the Plan, participants' account balances
      become fully vested and the disposition of the net assets must be made for
      the benefit of the participants or their beneficiaries.

2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      BASIS OF PRESENTATION - The accounting records of the Plan are maintained
      on the accrual basis. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on
      the trade date. Interest income is recorded as earned and dividend income
      is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

      INVESTMENT VALUATION - Investments are valued as follows: Investments held
      through the investment contract are valued at the contract value (see Note
      3). Mutual funds and money market funds are valued at quoted market
      prices.

      ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES - The Plan's expenses are paid by the Plan, as
      provided by the Plan document.

      USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
      with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
      America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
      the reported amounts of net assets and the changes in net assets during
      the reporting period and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
      at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
      revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
      differ from those estimates.

3.    INVESTMENT CONTRACTS WITH INSURANCE COMPANIES

      In October 1989, the Plan entered into an investment contract with APL,
      which was a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Physicians Investment Company,
      which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Physicians Insurance Company of
      Ohio, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PICO Holdings, Inc., the Plan
      Sponsor. Effective December 4, 1998, APL was sold to an unrelated party.
      APL maintains the contributions in either a general account or two pooled
      separate accounts. The accounts are credited with earnings on the
      underlying investments and charged for Plan withdrawals and administrative
      expenses incurred by APL. The contract accounts are included in the
      financial statements at the defined contracted value, because it is fully
      benefit responsive. For example, participants may ordinarily direct the
      withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract
      value, which approximates fair value, as reported to the Plan by APL.
      There are no reserves against contract value for credit risk of the
      contract issue or otherwise. The interest rate guaranteed for the
      Guaranteed fund is 4% annually and the principal is guaranteed. There is
      no guarantee of principal and interest in relation to Separate Account A
      and Separate Account B. The Plan's assets in Separate Account A and
      Separate Account B represent approximately 34.65% (1998-43.5%) and 26.13%
      (1998-28.19%) of the total assets held by APL in the respective separate
      accounts.

      Effective December 31, 1997, the Plan Sponsor authorized the merger of the
      Citation Plan into the Plan. The net assets available for benefits in the
      Citation Plan as of the effective date were valued at $2,212,075 in total.
      The Citation Plan's investment accounts were administered under a
      previously established investment contract with Nationwide Financial
      Services ("Nationwide"), which was also the custodian of the Citation Plan
      assets. During the 1998 plan year the Citation Plan continued to be
      administered by Nationwide and the 1998 earnings continued to be allocated
      to participant accounts based on participant compensation or account
      balance, as defined, until all funds were either distributed to
      withdrawing participants or transferred to the Plan. As of September 30,
      1998, all Citation Plan funds had either been paid to withdrawing
      participants or transferred into the Plan's investment accounts.
