(b) On November 6, 1995, the Company Board announced plans to exit the air
    freight business served by RGA, RSI's worldwide air freight subsidiary. The
    Company estimated a pre-tax charge of approximately $65 million for the
    operation's discontinuance which is not reflected in the pro forma financial
    statements. On November 17, 1995, the Company announced an agreement with an
    air freight company to provide continuing services to RGA's former U.S.
    customers and to sell certain limited U.S. assets. Although no assurances
    can be given, discussions are continuing with respect to the disposition of
    other U.S. assets and with an international freight forwarder with respect
    to the non-U.S. operations of RGA. The estimate of the pre-tax charge does
    not include the effects of any transactions or any sale proceeds which may
    be realized. No revised estimate is available as of the date of this Proxy
    Statement.

     The following unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Statements of RSI
have been prepared on a pro forma basis to give effect to the Distribution and
the discontinuance of the business of RGA. The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
Balance Sheet gives effect to the Distribution and the discontinuance of the
business of RGA as if both events occurred on September 9, 1995. The unaudited
Pro Forma Condensed Statements of Consolidated Income give effect to the
Distribution and the discontinuance of the business of RGA as if both events
occurred at the beginning of each period presented.
 
     The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Statements and accompanying
notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and
notes thereto incorporated by reference in this Proxy Statement. The unaudited
Pro Forma Condensed Financial Statements do not purport to represent what the
results of operations or financial position of RSI would actually have been if
the Distribution and the discontinuance of the business of RGA in fact had
occurred on the dates indicated or at any future date.

(a) Reflects the elimination of historical REX amounts as presented in the
    historical financial statements of REX included elsewhere in this Proxy
    Statement.
 
(b) At the balance sheet date, REX owed the Company $29 million. Such balance is
    not included in the Company's historical balance sheet as it was eliminated
    in consolidation. This adjustment reflects the receivable on a pro forma
    basis, which will be paid or eliminated on or before the Distribution Date.

    described in "REX Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
    Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources" and
    "The Distribution--Transactions Prior to or Contemporaneous with the
    Distribution".

    long-term liabilities.
 
(d) Represents the transfer of accrued pension costs and related deferred income
    taxes from RSI to REX attributable to the defined benefit pension plan
    obligation and related assets for active REX employees. The projected
    benefit obligation was actuarially determined based on the participants in
    the Plan that are active REX employees and actuarial assumptions used were
    consistent with assumptions previously used by RSI. The assets were split
    based on the requirements of Section 414(l) of the Code and other management
    considerations.
 
(e) Assumes 5% of REX Common Stock is retained by RSI.
 
(f) On November 6, 1995, the Company Board announced plans to exit the air
