          SUCH PERSON HAS:

          (I)   SOLE POWER TO VOTE OR TO

          (IV)  SHARED POWER TO DISPOSE OR TO
                DIRECT DISPOSITION OF .......     200,367

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, 1999. As of December 31, 1999, 49,602 of the shares
of Common  Stock had been  allocated  to  individual  accounts  established  for
participating employees and their beneficiaries, and 150,765 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 are instructed
by the ESOP Committee), has shared dispositive power over all unallocated Common
Stock held by the reporting  person.  The reporting  person,  acting through the
Plan Trustee (who are  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.

                                     ITEM 5
OWNERSHIP OF FIVE PERCENT OR LESS OF A CLASS:     Not applicable.

                                     ITEM 6
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.

                                     ITEM 7

NOTICE OF DISSOLUTION OF GROUP:     Not applicable.
