     (c)  SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

     Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act") requires the Company's executive officers and directors and
persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company's
stock, to file reports of initial ownership and changes in ownership with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Executive officers, directors
and persons who own more than ten percent of the Company's stock, are required
by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms
they file. Based solely on a review of the copies of such forms furnished to the
Company and written representations from the Company's executive officers and
directors, the Company noted that all required forms, including amendments
thereto, were timely filed during the past fiscal year, except Forms 4 were not
timely filed for (1) Dr. John T. Day regarding a charitable gift of Common Stock
of the Company for 8,000 shares made on or about December 30, 1999, (2) Mr.
Duane W. Moss regarding a charitable gift made by him of 3,200 shares made on or
about December 31, 1999 and (3) Mr. Nathan L. Wade regarding a purchase of 2,000
shares by his wife on or about September 9, 1999 and a disposition from trust of
136 shares on or about November 25, 1999. In each of the three cases regarding
Form 4, a Form 5 was filed to correct the untimely filings. The failure to
timely file was due to extended travel of the executives coupled with procedural
oversight. The Company issues monthly reminders to each executive and director
of the Company to help ensure timely filing of reports promulgated under Section
16(a) of the Exchange Act.

ITEM 11: EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
