YOUR PRE-NEED COMPANY HAS DONE IT AGAIN! 2006 has proven to be a very illustrious year for Berkley/Family first as it took the industry by storm. The company you entrusted your future with has managed to grab more than 50% of the Educational Plans market, in terms of new business, for most months of 2006.

Based on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) collated report on pre-need industry sales and the company’s own records, our sales have consistently been over 50% of the total market sales since February. To date, its highest recorded market share was 56% in the months of March, April and July.

A terrific start in 2005 reinforced the financial and marketing capability of the company last year. Despite many industry setbacks, the company managed to grow by 23%. Knowing that you have placed your trust on us further inspired us to aim higher, thus, achieving results grander than expected.

This good news, as seen in the table, is worth sharing with you, our dear planholders, as you have been primarily the reason behind our achievements on this our 9th year.
