("TPL"), 1304 West Fairbanks Avenue, Winter Park, Florida was engaged pursuant to an agreement effective July 1, 1997 to act as underwriter for The Timothy Plan (the "Fund").

TPL also acts as investment advisor for the Fund. TPL is not compensated for providing underwriting services. Revised Distribution Plan On January 31, 1997, the Fund's Retail Class shareholders of record at the close of business on November 14, 1996 voted to revise the 12b-1 Distribution Plan for the Retail Class in connection with the implementation of a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) subject to TPL's ability to obtain financing for brokerage commissions paid up front by the Fund to broker/dealers who sell Retail Class shares. TPL anticipates that such financing will be secured and the CDSC will be implemented in the near future. Once the CDSC is implemented, Retail Class shares will be sold without the imposition of a sales load; instead a CDSC will be imposed at the time of redemption for redemptions made within five years of the initial purchase date. The amount of the CDSC, if any, varies depending on the number of years between the time of payment for the purchase of Retail Class shares and the time of redemption of such shares.
