                   CROWN NORTHCORP ANNOUNCES PLANS TO ACQUIRE
                               AMI CAPITAL, INC.

        COLUMBUS, OHIO--CROWN NORTHCORP (ASET-NASDAQ)--Crown NorthCorp, Inc.
and ULLICO, Inc., have signed a letter of intent for Crown to acquire AMI
Capital, Inc., a ULLICO subsidiary based in Bethesda, Maryland. AMI originates
and services multifamily mortgage loans, primarily for Fannie Mae's Delegated
Underwriting and Servicing program. Crown would acquire all of the stock of AMI
in exchange for cash, debt and Crown stock. A ULLICO representative would
become a member of Crown's Board of Directors. The transaction is subject to
final approval of a definitive agreement by the boards of Crown and ULLICO,
certain regulatory approvals and other matters.

        In making the joint announcement, Ronald E. Roark, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of Crown, said "The acquisition of AMI will be an important
step in the implementation of Crown's business plan to establish Crown as a
vertically integrated specialty financial services firm. AMI's market presence
and reputation will significantly enhance Crown's mortgage origination
capability as well as the company's loan servicing and mortgage securitization
businesses." Michael R. Steed, Executive Vice President of ULLICO, noted "We
are excited about the opportunities this transaction presents. We look forward
to working with Crown to help it become a provider of comprehensive loan
origination and other services to the commercial real estate industry."

Crown operates through its Columbus, Ohio headquarters and five other offices
in the United States and Europe. In addition to its Bethesda headquarters, AMI
has an office in Florida.
