Our total active  membership  premium in force  decreased less than 1% to $468.2
million at  December  31,  2009 from $469  million at  December  31,  2008.  The
membership  persistency  rate (defined as the number of  memberships in force at
the end of a 12 month  period as a  percentage  of the total of  memberships  in
force at the  beginning of such period,  plus new  memberships  sold during such
period) was 72.8% for 2009.

Our  fourth  quarter  2009  corporate  finance  focus  has  again  been on share
repurchases.  During the 4th quarter,  we returned $35.9 million to shareholders
through the  repurchase  of 902,697  shares of common  stock,  at an average per
share price of $39.75.  Since April 1999,  we have  returned  $457.9  million to
shareholders  through the  purchase of 15.1  million  shares,  average  price of
$30.32 per share,  and $17.1 million in dividends  for a combined  total of more
than $475 million  representing more than 100 percent of our net earnings during
the same  timeframe.  We have  reduced  the  number  of  shares  outstanding  by
approximately 57% from 23.6 million at March 31, 1999 to 10.1 million today.

We anticipate announcing our 2009 fourth quarter and annual earnings on February
22, 2010 after the market  closes and hosting a conference  call to discuss such
earnings on February 24, 2010.
