partnership formed for the purpose of investing in, among other things, the
equity  securities of various financial institutions and financial services
companies.   Hovde Capital, L.L.C., a Nevada limited liability company,  is
the  general  partner  (the "General Partner") of the Limited  Partnership.
Both  Eric  D.  Hovde  and Steven D. Hovde are managing  members  of  Hovde
Capital, L.L.C.

     Eric  D.  Hovde and Steven D. Hovde each hold beneficial interests  in
the Shares held by the Limited Partnership through ownership of an interest
in, and positions as members and officers of the General Partner.  Eric  D.
Hovde also owns Shares of the Issuer directly.  Eric D. Hovde and Steven D.
Hovde  are  also directors and executive officers of Hovde Financial,  Inc.
("Hovde Financial").  Hovde Financial does not beneficially own any of  the
Shares.

     Attached as Schedule 1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein  is
a  list  containing the principal business and the address of its principal
business and office for the Limited Partnership and the General Partner  as
well  as  information required by (a) through (f) of this Item as  to  each
executive  officer,  director  and/or controlling  person  of  the  General
Partner  who  are  Reporting  Persons.  The General  Partner  controls  the
Limited Partnership.

     None  of  the  Reporting Persons or executive officers,  directors  or
controlling persons of the General Partner has, during the last five years,
been  convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic  violations  or
similar  misdemeanors) or been a party to a civil proceeding of a  judicial
or  administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result  of  such
proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining
future  violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities  subject  to,
federal  or state securities laws or finding of any violation with  respect
to such laws.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer

     (a),  (b)   Schedule  3  hereto, which is  incorporated  by  reference
herein,  sets  forth,  as  of July 10, 2000, information  relating  to  the
aggregate  number  of  Shares  of the Issuer  and  the  percentage  of  the
outstanding  Shares of the Issuer as of such date (based  upon  information
provided by the Issuer, there are 2,602,306 Shares outstanding as  of  that
date) as to each of the Reporting Persons.  With respect to the Shares  set
forth on Schedule 3, by virtue of its control over the Limited Partnership,
all  decisions regarding voting and disposition of the Shares  beneficially
owned  by  the  Limited Partnership are made by the General Partner  acting
through  its  chief executive officer or president.  As such,  the  Limited
Partnership and the General Partner share voting and investment power  with
respect  to the Shares.  Therefore, as a result of their ownership interest
in,  and positions as members and officers of the General Partner, Eric  D.
Hovde and Steven D. Hovde may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of the
Shares.  Neither the General Partner, its executive officers or controlling
persons  beneficially owns any Shares personally or otherwise,  except  for
the Shares beneficially owned by Eric D. Hovde.

     (c)   Schedule  4  hereto, which is incorporated by reference  herein,
describes, as of July 10, 2000, transactions in the Shares effected  during
the past sixty (60) days by the Reporting Persons.
