Item 4.  Ownership.

         The   UMBFC   ESOP   may   be   deemed   to    beneficially    own   
certain shares   of   the   Issuer's   Common   Stock   held   by   the   UMBFC
ESOP.   The UMBFC   ESOP    participants    exercise   voting   powers   over
the   shares   of the    Issuer's    Common    Stock   held   in   the   UMBFC
ESOP    allocated   to their    accounts    as   they   have   the   right   to
direct   the   voting   of such  shares.  To  the  extent  that  participants
in the  UMBFC  ESOP  do not  give voting  instructions  to UMB,  as trustee of 
the UMBFC  ESOP,  the shares of Issuer's Common  Stock  held by the UMBFC ESOP 
are voted in the  discretion  of the UMBFC ESOP Administrative  Committee.  The
shares of  Issuer's  Common  Stock held by the UMBFC ESOP are disposed of in the
discretion of the UMBFC ESOP  Administrative  Committee, but if the  
Administrative  Committee does not give directions to UMB with respect to a  
required  disposition  decision,  UMB,  as  trustee,  is to make  the
disposition decision.  Therefore,  the UMBFC ESOP may be deemed to beneficially
own shares of the Issuer's Common Stock as follows:

         (a)      Amount  Beneficially  Owned:  1,853,624.  Beneficial  
ownership  is disclaimed  as to all  of  these  shares  of  the  Issuer's  
Common Stock.   Such   stock  is  held  on  behalf   of  the  UMBFC   ESOP 
participants.

         (b)      Percent of Class:  9.05%

         (c)      Number of shares as to which the UMBFC ESOP has:

                  (i)      sole power to vote or to direct the vote:  -0-

                  (ii)     shared power to vote or to direct the vote:  -0-

                  (iii)    sole power to dispose  or to direct  the  disposition
of: -0-

                  (iv)     shared dispositive power:  1,853,624. Beneficial
                           ownership is disclaimed as to all of these shares
                           of Issuer's Common Stock.  Such shares are held
                           on behalf of the UMBFC ESOP participants.

CUSIP NO. 902 788 108     SCHEDULE 13G     Page 8 of 13 Pages

         UMB may be deemed to  beneficially  own certain  shares of  Issuer's  
Common Stock  including  the shares  held by the UMBFC ESOP,  of which UMB is  
trustee,  and shares of Common Stock held in other  capacities.  As trustee of 
the UMBFC ESOP,  UMB may be  deemed  to have  shared  dispositive  power  over 
the  UMBFC  ESOP  shares of Common Stock,  although UMB disclaims  beneficial  
ownership  over such shares.  With respect  to the  shares of Common  Stock  
held in other  capacities,  UMB may also be deemed to have  either  sole or 
shared  voting  power over  certain  shares of Common Stock and/or either sole 
or shared  dispositive  power over certain  shares of Common Stock.  UMB 
disclaims  beneficial  ownership  over any and all shares of Common Stock held 
in other  capacities  as well as shares held by UMB in custodial  accounts  
over which UMB has no voting or dispositive powers.

         Therefore,  UMB may be deemed to  beneficially  own  shares of the  
Issuer's Common Stock as follows:

         (a)      Amount  Beneficially  Owned:  2,648,264.  Beneficial  
ownership  is disclaimed  as  to  all  of  these  shares.  Such  amount  
excludes 4,046,646  shares  of  Issuer  Common  Stock  held by UMB in agency
accounts  and may be voted or  disposed  of only upon  instructions from the  
beneficial  owners or are held in trusts and  estates and may be voted or 
disposed of only upon the  instructions  of persons having voting control.

         (b)      Percent of Class:  12.9%

         (c)      Number of shares as to which such person has:

                  (i)      sole  power  to  vote  or to  direct  the  vote:  
116,984. These  shares  of Issuer  Common  Stock are held in trusts and  estates
for  which UMB is sole  fiduciary;  however, UMB has  elected  not to vote such
shares  and  disclaims beneficial ownership of them.

                  (ii)     shared  power  to vote or to  direct  the  vote:  
677,656. These  shares  may  be  voted  only  in  conjunction  with 
co-fiduciaries.  Beneficial  ownership  is  disclaimed  as to all of these 
shares.

of:  116,984.  These  shares  of Issuer  Common  Stock are held in trusts  and  
estates  for which UMB is sole  fiduciary; however,  UMB has  elected  not to 
vote  such  shares  and disclaims beneficial ownership of them.

                  (iv)     shared  power to  dispose  or to  direct  the  
disposition of:  2,531,280.  UMB  disclaims  beneficial  ownership  of these 
shares.

holds in treasury and does not  exercise or direct the  exercise of any voting

rights or powers with respect to dividends  paid on or the proceeds  from the 
sale of shares of the Issuer's  Common Stock held by the UMBFC ESOP, such  
participants  have the right to receive vested  amounts  representing  dividends
on the shares  allocated to their accounts and may elect to receive cash from
