Bruce E. Elder is joining in this Schedule 13G and reporting
beneficial ownership of the same securities beneficially owned by
Elder Group, Inc. as a result of his position with Elder Group, Inc.
This Amendment No. 1 is filed to state that Elder Group, Inc. and
Bruce E. Elder do not, and have never, shared voting or dispositive
power with respect to the securities beneficially owned by Elder
Group, Inc., with Alan H. Elder, and that Alan H. Elder is therefore
not a beneficial owner of any of such securities or a reporting
person with respect to this statement. Alan H. Elder has advised
the reporting persons that he concurs in the filing of this
Amendment No. 1 in order to remove him as a reporting person with
respect to this statement. The original statement on Schedule 13G
dated February 14, 1997, is therefore amended and restated to
correct the incorrect disclosures as if they had never been made as
part of this statement.
