disposing of the Issuer's securities.  Pursuant to Rule 13d-5(b)(i),  the shares
beneficially  owned by each partner may  therefore be deemed to be  beneficially

individually  and with  respect  to 106,920  shares he holds as trustee  for the
minor children of John D. Baker II.

          4,108,172 shares (approximately  21.7% of the Issuer's total number of
shares outstanding) are directly owned by the Partnership.  The general partners
Edward L. Baker and John D. Baker, II, have shared voting and dispositive  power
with respect to such shares.

          Edward L. Baker has sole voting  power but no  dispositive  power with
respect to 12,296  shares held for his account  pursuant to a Tax  Reduction Act

such beneficial ownership.

beneficial  owner of  93,000  shares  of the  Issuer's  Securities  which he may
