________________
/(1)/ Based upon 6,844,923 Shares outstanding as of the close of business on
March 29, 1996. In calculating the beneficial ownership percentage for
Mr. Wilmers and the aggregate percentage for all of the Reporting
Persons, Shares subject to options held by Mr. Wilmers which are
currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days from the date
hereof are added to the total Shares outstanding.
/(2)/ Includes the Shares owned by the West Ferry Foundation, a charitable
trust formed by Mr. Wilmers, of which Mr. Wilmers, as trustee, holds
sole voting and dispositive power and 153,633 Shares held by the
Trusts. Also includes (i) 90,000 Shares subject to stock options which
are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of the date
hereof, (ii) 3,179 Shares allocated under First Empire's Retirement
Savings Plan, and (iii) 3,555 Shares held by a close relative or the
estate of a close relative as to which beneficial ownership is
disclaimed. Excludes 50,000 Shares subject to stock options which will
become exercisable over the course of the following 3 years.
/(3)/ Since Hofin Anstalt is the sole stockholder of Alauda Investments Ltd.
and Bikala Holdings Ltd., its beneficial ownership includes Shares
held by such entities.
Since the filing of Amendment No. 12 to this Schedule 13D, the percentage
of Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons have changed primarily as
a result of (i) the repurchase of Shares by First Empire and (ii) the issuance
of 506,930 Shares by First Empire on March 29, 1996 upon conversion of First
Empire's 9% Convertible Preferred Stock by the holder thereof.
Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits
--------------------------------

agrees that the Schedule 13D, as amended hereby, is filed on such Reporting
