C.   Accounting Policy Change

The Company adopted the provisions of the Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 115 ("SFAS 115"), "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt &
Equity Securities" for such securities held as of or acquired after July 1,
1994.  In accordance with SFAS 115, prior period financial statements have not
been restated.  Currently, a portion of the Company's investments have been
classified as trading securities and are carried at fair value with unrealized
gains and losses reported in earnings.  The balance of the Company's investments
are currently classified as available for sale and are carried at fair value
with unrealized gains or losses excluded from earnings and reported as a
separate component of shareholders' equity.  The cost of investments sold is
determined on the specific identification method.  Investments are reported
at fair value.  Investments designated trading securities are carried as
current assets.  Available-for-sale investments are carried as current or
non-current assets as appropriate.  The Company has not identified any
held-to-maturity investments at this time.  Dividend and interest income
are accrued as earned.

Registrant has reported the cumulative effect of the change in accounting
principle relating to trading securities as an expense of $593,000, net of
taxes.  During the quarter ended September 30, 1994, the market value of the
Company's trading securities declined $615,000 and is included in Other income
(expense).  The Company has reported the cumulative effect of the change in
accounting principle relating to available for sale securities as a reduction in
shareholders' equity of $546,000, net of taxes.  During the quarter ended
September 30, 1994, the fair value of the Company's available for sale
securities declined resulting in an additional reduction in shareholders' equity
of $15,000.

C.   Accounting Changes (CONTINUED)

Unrealized gains and losses on available for sale investment securities included
in shareholders' equity at September 30, 1994 were fixed income government
securities maturing after 1 through 5 years with a cost of $28,215,000,
a fair value of $27,419,000, resulting in a net unrealized loss of
$(796,000) and fixed income government backed securities with a maturity
after 5 through 10 years with a cost of $1,699,000, a fair value
of $1,560,000, resulting in a net unrealized loss of $(139,000).  Deferred
