These statements relate to the Schedule 13D filed by Caroline W. Singleton as
the sole trustee of the Singleton Family Trust with regard to the beneficial
ownership of common stock, par value $0.10 per share, of Unitrin, Inc. (the
"Company") and constitutes Amendment No. 1 thereto.

The following items are amended and restated in their entirety as follows:

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

        There has been no change in the number of shares of the Company's common
stock held by the Singleton Family Trust.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

            Although I have no contract or agreement to purchase or sell shares
from or to any person, I would like to be able to purchase shares from time to
time if shares are available at prices considered by me to be attractive for
purchases, and would like to be able to sell shares from time to time if shares
can be sold at prices considered by me to be attractive for sales. Whether I
purchase or sell shares and the exact number of shares purchased or sold will
depend upon a variety of factors, including the market price, market conditions,
availability and need for funds, and the evaluation of alternative interests. In
addition, I may transfer all or part of the shares to a limited liability
company or other entity for personal financial planning purposes.

        Other than as described above, I have no plans or proposals that relate
to or would result in any matter required to be disclosed in response to
paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

        The Singleton Family Trust, a revocable trust, holds 14,484,520 shares
(20.4%) of the Company's common stock. As the sole trustee of the Singleton
Family Trust, I have sole voting and dispositive powers over the shares in the
Singleton Family Trust. I have not effected any transactions with respect to the
shares in the Singleton Family Trust.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect
        to Securities of the Issuer.

        See response to Item 5.
