CUSIP NO. 147 5281 03     SCHEDULE 13G     Page 7 of 13 Pages

Item 4.  Ownership.

         Casey's ESOP may be deemed to  beneficially  own certain  shares of the
Issuer's  Common  Stock held by Casey's  ESOP.  UMB serves as trustee of Casey's
ESOP. Casey's ESOP participants  exercise voting and certain  dispositive powers
over Casey's ESOP shares allocated to their accounts as

they have the right to direct the voting of such  shares  and the  tendering  of
such shares in response to a tender offer or other purchase offer. To the extent
that  participants  in Casey's ESOP do not give voting  instructions  to UMB, as
trustee  of Casey's  ESOP,  such  shares of the  Issuer's  Common  Stock held by
Casey's ESOP are voted in the same  proportions  as shares for which the trustee
has  received  instructions.  Certain  shares of Issuer's  Common  Stock held by
Casey's ESOP are allocated to the accounts of the  participants in the plan, and
beneficial  ownership is disclaimed as to those shares. Any unallocated  Casey's
ESOP  shares  are to be  voted  by the  trustee  of  Casey's  ESOP  in the  same
proportion as allocated shares.  The shares of the Issuer's Common Stock held by
Casey's  ESOP that are  allocated to  participants'  accounts are disposed of in
response to a tender offer,  exchange  offer,  or other offer to purchase at the
direction of the participants,  but if disposition  instructions with respect to
such an offer are not  given by the  participants  in  Casey's  ESOP to UMB,  as
trustee, such shares will not be tendered. UMB, as trustee of Casey's ESOP, will
dispose of all unallocated  shares in response to a tender or other offer in the
same proportion as shares for which the trustee has received instructions.

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

         (a)      Amount  Beneficially  Owned:  3,556,447.  Beneficial
ownership  is disclaimed  as to all shares  which are  allocated  to the
accounts of participants under Casey's ESOP.

         (b)      Percent of Class:  6.7%

         (c)      Number of shares as to which Casey's ESOP has:

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

         <PAGE>

CUSIP NO. 147 5281 03     SCHEDULE 13G     Page 8 of 13 Pages

               (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  power to dispose or to direct the  disposition  of:
               3,556,447.  Beneficial  ownership is  disclaimed as to all shares
               which are allocated to the accounts of participants under Casey's
               ESOP.

         UMB may be deemed to beneficially own certain shares of Issuer's Common
Stock, including the shares held by Casey's ESOP and shares of Common Stock held
in other  capacities.  As trustee,  UMB may be deemed to have dispositive  power
over the shares of Common Stock held by Casey's  ESOP,  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 of such  shares,  but  disclaims  beneficial
ownership over such shares. UMB disclaims  beneficial ownership over and has not
included in this  Schedule 13G any and all shares of the  Issuer's  Common Stock
held  in  custodial  and  other  capacities  over  which  UMB has no  voting  or
dispositive power (either by itself or with others).

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

         (a)      Amount  Beneficially  Owned:  3,700,584.  Beneficial
ownership  is disclaimed  as to these  shares,  3,556,447  of  which  are held
on behalf of Casey's  ESOP.  Such amount  excludes  32,800  shares of Issuer's
Common  Stock held in custody  accounts  by UMB for which UMB has no voting or
dispositive power.

         (b)      Percent of Class:  7.7%

                    (i) sole power to vote or to direct the vote:  144,137.  UMB
                    disclaims beneficial ownership of these shares.

                    (ii) shared power to vote or to direct the vote:  2,700. UMB

                    (iii) sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of:
                    141,437. UMB disclaims beneficial ownership of these shares.

                    (iv)  shared  power to dispose or to direct the  disposition
                    of: 3,559,964.  UMB disclaims  beneficial ownership of these
                    shares,  which  include  3,556,747  shares held on behalf of
                    Casey's ESOP.

         UMBFC does not own of record any shares of the  Issuer's  Common  Stock
and does not exercise or direct the exercise of any voting or dispositive  power
over the shares of the Issuer's Common Stock reported

herein and is precluded by  applicable  law from  directing the exercise of such
power over said shares of the Issuer's Common Stock held by UMB.
