The reporting person is an employee stock ownership plan under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), with individual
accounts for the accrued benefits of participating employees and their
beneficiaries. The reporting person is administered by an ESOP Committee ("ESOP
Committee") and its assets are held in trust by a trustee ("Plan Trustee"). The
number of shares listed as beneficially owned represents the entire number of
shares of Common Stock held by First Bankers Trust Company, N.A., as Plan
Trustee, as of December 31, 1998. As of December 31, 1998, 80,253 of such shares
of Common Stock had been allocated to individual accounts established for
participating employees and their beneficiaries, and 105,099 of such shares were
held, unallocated, for allocation in future years. In general, participating
employees and their beneficiaries have the power and authority to direct the
voting of shares of Common Stock allocated to their individual accounts. Such
allocated shares are, therefore, not included as shares over which the reporting
person has sole or shared voting power. The reporting person, through the Plan
Trustee, has shared voting power over unallocated Common Stock. Any unallocated
Common Stock is generally required to be voted by the Plan Trustee in the same
proportion as Common Stock which has been allocated to Participants is directed
to be voted. The reporting person, through the Plan Trustee (who is instructed
by the ESOP Committee) shares dispositive power over all unallocated Common
Stock held by the reporting person. The reporting person, acting through the
Plan Trustee (who is instructed by the ESOP Committee) shares dispositive power
over allocated Common Stock with participating employees and their
beneficiaries, who have the right to determine whether Common Stock allocated to
their respective accounts will be tendered in response to a tender offer but
otherwise have no dispositive power. Any unallocated Common Stock is generally
required to be tendered by the Plan Trustee in the same proportion as Common
Stock which has been allocated to Participants is directed to be tendered. In
limited circumstances, ERISA may confer upon the Plan Trustee the power and duty
to control the voting and tendering of Common Stock allocated to the accounts of
participating employees and beneficiaries who fail to exercise their voting
and/or tender rights. The reporting person disclaims voting power with respect
to such allocated Common Stock.

OWNERSHIP OF MORE THAN FIVE PERCENT ON BEHALF OF ANOTHER PERSON:

         Dividends declared on Common Stock held by the Plan which have been
allocated to the account of a Participant are allocated to the account of such
Participant. Such dividends may be held and invested in the same manner as funds
generally held or invested by the Plan which are not invested in Common Stock or
distributed to Participants in accordance with and at such time as provided in
the Plan Document. Participants may receive, or direct the receipt of, proceeds
of the sale of Common Stock held by the Plan and allocated to their accounts to
the extent they have become vested in such Common Stock and at such times as
provided in the Plan Document. No Participant has the right to receive or the
power to direct the receipt of dividends on, or the proceeds of the sale of,
more than 5% of the Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the date hereof.
