     Our total active membership fees in force increased approximately 8% during
the last  four  quarters  and  continues  our 13 year  trend of  increasing  our
membership fees in force. 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 71.1% for the 12 months  ending March
31, 2006.

     Our first quarter 2006 corporate  finance focus has again been primarily on
share  repurchases.  During  the 1st  quarter,  we  returned  $16.2  million  to
shareholders through the repurchase of 448,407 shares of common stock, including
our odd-lot repurchase program, at an average per share price of $36.05 and also
paid $4.6 million in dividends. We believe the flexibility to repurchase shares,
pay a dividend,  or both enables us to maximize the long-term per share value of
our common stock, by making a decision to repurchase shares or pay a dividend or
both based on market conditions and our cash position.  We are fortunate to have
a business  model that allows us to grow and still produce excess cash. We think
of our  shareholders  as  long-term  partners.  Our goal is to use every  excess
dollar of cash to improve  the value of each share.  Since  April 1999,  we have
returned  $238.7  million to  shareholders  through the  purchase of 9.9 million
shares,  average price of $24.20 per share, and $17.1 million in dividends for a
combined total of $255.8 million  representing  more than 115 percent of our net
earnings during the same timeframe.

     We anticipate  announcing our 2006 first quarter financial results on April
24, 2006 after the market  closes and hosting a conference  call to discuss such
results on April 26, 2006.

     Forward-Looking Statements
Statements  in this press  release,  other than purely  historical  information,
regarding  our future  plans and  objectives  and  expected  operating  results,
dividends and share  repurchases  and statements of the  assumptions  underlying
such statements,  constitute  forward-looking  statements  within the meaning of
Section  21E  of  the  Securities  Exchange  Act of  1934.  The  forward-looking
statements  contained  herein are based on certain  assumptions  that may not be
correct.  They are subject to risks and  uncertainties  incident to our business
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the
forward-looking  statements.  These risks and uncertainties are described in the
reports and statements filed by us with the Securities and Exchange  Commission,
including  (among others) those listed in our Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and Form 8-K,
and  include  the risks that our  membership  persistency  or renewal  rates may
decline,  that we may  not be able to  continue  to  grow  our  memberships  and
earnings,  that we are dependent on the continued  active  participation  of our
principal  executive  officer,  that  pending  or future  litigation  may have a
material  adverse  effect on us if resolved  unfavorably to us, that we could be
adversely affected by regulatory developments,  that competition could adversely
affect us, that we are substantially  dependent on our marketing force, that our
stock  price may be  affected  by short  sellers,  that we have  been  unable to
increase  our employee  group  membership  sales and that our active  premium in
force is not  indicative  of future  revenue  as a result of  changes  in active
memberships from cancellations and additional  membership sales. Please refer to
pages 14 and 15 of our 2005 Form 10-K for a more complete  description  of these
risks. We undertake no duty to update any of the  forward-looking  statements in
this release.
