Item 5. Other Information
-----------------
The Securities and Exchange commission has recently amended Rule 14a-4.
For shareholder proposals to be presented at annual shareholders' meetings
other than pursuant to Rule 14a-8 (i.e., which are not to be included in the
registrant's proxy statement), management may exercise discretionary voting
authority under proxies solicited by it for the meetings if it receives notice
of such proposals less than 45 days prior to the calendar date proxy materials
were mailed for the prior year's annual meeting.
As this new provision applies to the Company, if notice of a non-Rule
14a-8 shareholder proposal to be presented at the Company's 1999 Annual
Meeting of Shareholders is received by the Company after February 14, 1999,
the Company may exercise
discretionary voting authority under proxies solicited by it.
