1. Election of Directors
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
                  Eleven directors are to be elected to the Corporation's Board
                  of Directors at the Annual Meeting. Proxies granted for use at
                  the Annual Meeting cannot be voted for more than eleven
                  nominees.
 
                  Directors are elected annually to hold office until the next
                  Annual Meeting of Shareholders and until their successors are
                  elected and have qualified. The persons named as Proxies in
                  the accompanying form of proxy will, unless otherwise
                  indicated in the form of proxy, vote the shares covered by
                  proxies for the election of the nominees named in the
                  following table. Management has no reason to believe that any
                  nominee named herein will be unable to serve. However, should
                  any nominee for director become unavailable for election, and
                  unless the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee shall
                  reduce the size of the Board to a number that shall be equal
                  to the number of nominees who are able and willing to serve,
                  the persons named in the accompanying form of proxy will vote
                  for a substitute who will be designated by the Board of
                  Directors or the Executive Committee.
 
                  The following table sets forth, as of March 21, 1995: (a) the
                  name, age, year in which the nominee was first elected as a
                  director of the Corporation or of Irwin Union Bank and Trust
                  Company, and principal occupation for the past five years of
                  each nominee for election as a director; (b) the percentage of
                  the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors of the
                  Corporation and meetings of committees of the Board of
                  Directors of the Corporation of which the director is a member
                  attended by each director during 1994; and (c) all other
                  directorships held by each nominee in other corporations
                  subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities
                  Exchange Act of 1934 and in any investment company. There are
                  no family relationships among any of the director nominees or
                  executive officers, except that William I. Miller is the son
                  of Irwin Miller.

                  persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of
                  the Corporation's equity securities, to file with the

Director Meetings and Committees
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
                  The Board of Directors of the Corporation held five regular
                  meetings in 1994.
 
                  The Corporation's Audit Committee has primary responsibility
                  for the discharge of the following functions: recommendation
                  of the firm to be employed as the Corporation's independent
                  auditors; consultation with the independent auditors with
                  regard to the plan of audit; review, in consultation with the
                  independent auditors, of the report of audit, or proposed
                  report of audit, and the accompanying management letter, if
                  any; review and direction of the work performed by the
                  internal audit department of the Corporation; review of
                  regulatory examination reports received by the Corporation and
                  its subsidiaries; and consultation with the independent and
                  internal auditors with regard to the adequacy of internal
                  controls. In 1994, the Audit Committee was composed of
                  directors Sakai, Hackett, and McGinty, Jr. The Committee held
                  four meetings during 1994.
 
                  The Corporation's Compensation Committee reviews and considers
                  recommendations from management concerning the executive
                  compensation policies, employee benefit plans and salary
                  administration program of the Corporation, which includes an
                  annual review of the total compensation and recommended
                  adjustments for all officers of the Corporation and its
                  subsidiaries. The Committee administers the Management
                  Performance Plan and the Long-Term Performance Plan. The
                  Committee also administers existing stock option and employee
                  savings plans. The deliberations of the Committee are reported
                  to the Board of Directors for review and approval. In 1994,
                  the members of the Committee were directors Goodrich, Kling
                  and Sakai. The Compensation Committee held two meetings in
                  1994.
 
                  The Corporation's Nominating Committee makes recommendations
                  to the Board of Directors regarding general qualifications for
                  nominees as directors, desired areas of community and business
                  representation, size of the Board of Directors, director
                  compensation, and the retirement policy for directors. On the
                  basis of these general determinations, the Committee
                  recommends qualified individuals to serve as directors.
                  Shareholder recommendations for nominees will be accepted by
                  the Committee; however, no formal procedures have been
                  developed to consider such recommendations. In 1994, the
                  members of the Nominating Committee were directors Irwin
                  Miller, Goodrich, McGinty Jr., W. Miller, Nash and Odden. The
                  Nominating Committee held two meetings in 1994.
 
Outside Director
Restricted Stock
Compensation      The Outside Director Restricted Stock Compensation Plan covers
Plan:             only outside non-employee directors of the Corporation and its
                  subsidiaries. Under the outside directors' fee schedule,
                  effective January 1, 1995, each outside director of the
                  Corporation may earn a retainer of $8,000 for one year's
                  service. The retainer is payable in cash or in common shares
                  issued pursuant to the Plan. The Plan permits the grant of up
                  to 135,000 common shares over a ten-year period. The Plan
                  allows an outside director to elect to receive an annual
                  retainer in cash or in common shares with a market value
                  equivalent to the cash retainer. Grants under the Plan may be
                  for one or more years of future service and in such cases, the
                  common shares granted under the Plan are forfeitable until
                  vested in accordance with the Plan.
 
                  The Plan is administered by a Committee, appointed by the
                  Board of Directors, the members of which are not eligible to
                  participate in the Plan. Directors may elect

                  vesting of common shares issued pursuant to multiple-year
                  grants in equal amounts at the end of each year covered by the
                  grant or they may defer vesting until the end of the grant
                  period. Common share certificates issued by the Plan Committee
                  are held by the Corporation for at least two years prior to
                  their delivery to participants. Upon cessation of a
                  participant's service as an outside director for any reason
                  other than ordinary retirement, permanent disability or death,
                  non vested common shares will revert to the Corporation.
                  Directors have voting and dividend rights with respect to
                  granted shares commencing on the date of grant, but may not
                  sell, pledge or otherwise transfer or encumber any such shares
                  until they are vested or the director receives certificates
                  representing such shares from the Corporation, whichever is
                  later.

                  Jr., Irwin Miller, Odden, Sakai, and Solso participated in the
                  Plan. A three-year grant was made to each director participant
                  in 1992 pursuant to the Plan. At present, a total of 4,830
                  common shares are registered in the names of the participating
                  director nominees. Other grants made under the Plan since its
                  inception in 1989 total 24,042 common shares.
 
Directors' Fees:  In addition to the annual retainer described above, each
                  outside director of the Corporation received in 1994, $500 for
                  attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors of the
                  Corporation or each subsidiary Board meeting and $250 for
                  attendance at each meeting of a committee of the Board of
                  Directors and each meeting of a committee of the Board of
                  Directors of a subsidiary company.
 
                  No other fees are paid to directors for services rendered in
                  that capacity. Directors who are officers of the Corporation
                  or any of its subsidiaries do not receive any directors' fees.

                1. All grants are subject to a vesting schedule where 25% of
                  each grant is vested on the date of the grant and 25% of each
                  grant vests on the anniversary date of each grant in each of
                  the three years following the grant.
 
                2. Total option values shown in Column (h) were derived using
                  the Binomial option pricing model. Assumptions used in the
                  valuation included an expected volatility factor of 0.30, an
                  expected future dividend yield of 0.015, and a risk-free rate
                  of return of 0.0728. The Binomial model suggests a valuation
                  of $10.75 per share under these assumptions. The Black-Scholes
                  option pricing model would suggest a valuation of $10.60 per
                  share under these same assumptions. The use of a single value
                  as shown in the table above implies a precision to stock
                  option valuation which the Corporation does not believe exists
                  and which therefore may cause the above table to be
                  misleading. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the value
                  realized on the options, if any, will be at or near the value
                  estimated by the Binomial option pricing model. Future
                  compensation resulting from option grants is based solely upon
                  the performance of the Corporation's stock price.

Long-Term Incentive Plans
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                  The following table provides information concerning an award
                  made during the last fiscal year to the named executive
                  officer under the Inland Mortgage Corporation Long-Term
                  Incentive Plan. The award represents an accrued liability by
                  Inland Mortgage Corporation for the benefit of the named
                  executive officer. Amounts payable are determined by measuring
                  annual growth in stockholders' equity and mortgage loan
                  servicing portfolio value at Inland Mortgage. Potential awards
                  are calculated as three percent of such growth in years in
                  which return on equity of Inland Mortgage exceeds ten percent.
                  Awards are subject to a vesting schedule that is tied to years
                  of employment and participation in the Plan. No amounts have
                  been paid or distributed under the Plan to date. Distribution
                  and vesting of benefits under the Plan are subject to certain
                  future events.

Pension Plan:     A non-contributory qualified defined benefit Employees'
                  Pension Plan is maintained by the Corporation and certain of
                  its subsidiaries. The Plan provides principally for retirement
                  benefits to substantially all of the officers and employees of
                  these companies. Under the provisions of the Plan,
                  participating companies will contribute assets sufficient to
                  pay all benefits to Plan participants. Contributions to the
                  Plan are actuarially determined to fund the Plan's current
                  service cost on a current basis and to fund initial past
                  service costs over a period of 30 years. Employees who have
                  completed one year of service (1,000 hours worked during a
                  12-month period) are eligible for participation. Benefits vest
                  after five years credited service. In addition to benefits
                  paid to retiring employees, death and deferred termination
                  benefits are available to employees who meet certain
                  conditions under the Plan.
 
                  The table above shows the estimated annual benefits payable,
                  based on the assumptions indicated, under the Plan as in
                  effect on December 31, 1994. At normal retirement, the Plan
                  provides a monthly benefit equal to 1.3% of average monthly
                  compensation times benefit service not in excess of 25 years,
                  plus .65% of average monthly compensation in excess of Social
                  Security covered compensation times benefit service not in
                  excess of 35 years. Basic wages considered for the Plan are
                  for the five consecutive Plan years of highest compensation,
                  and include basic compensation, commissions and payments from
                  short-term bonus plans. The table above does not reflect
                  reductions resulting from the receipt of Social Security
                  benefits.
 
                  The current years of service at December 31, 1994, for the
                  individuals named in the compensation tables above, are as
                  follows: Mr. Nash (28), Mr. Ryan (18), Mr. Washburn (18) and
                  Mr. Miller (4). Mr. Fulton is not covered by the Plan.
 
Supplemental Retirement Benefit Plan
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                  On May 19, 1992, the Board of Directors approved the
                  Compensation Committee's recommendation to provide a
                  supplemental executive retirement benefit to
                  William I. Miller and Michael F. Ryan. A similar Plan was
                  approved prior to 1992 for John A. Nash. The Plan provides
                  Messrs. Miller & Ryan with an amount of company-provided
                  benefits not provided under the Pension Plan because of the
                  limitations imposed by Sections 415 and 401(a)(17) of the
                  Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Criteria used to
                  determine amounts payable under the supplemental Plan are the
                  same as those used by the Pension Plan; that is, service with
                  the Corporation, age at retirement and earnings. Benefits are
                  measured in the
 
 12.
<PAGE>   15
 
                  same manner as under the Pension Plan, using credited service
                  with the Corporation. Method of payment of the supplemental
                  benefit is a monthly annuity payable for life, with a
                  guarantee of 180 payments.
 
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                  Members of the Compensation Committee of the Corporation's
                  Board of Directors during 1994 were outside directors
                  Goodrich, Kling, and Sakai. No Committee member was, during
                  1994, an officer or employee of the Corporation or any of its
                  subsidiaries.
 
Board Compensation Committee Report On Executive Compensation
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                  Executive compensation is reviewed and approved annually by
                  the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Each
                  member of the Compensation Committee is a non-employee
                  Director. Members of the Committee are Mr. David W. Goodrich,
                  Mr. William H. Kling, and Mr. James T. Sakai. Set forth below
                  is a report submitted by Messrs. Goodrich, Kling and Sakai in
                  their capacity as the Board's Compensation Committee
                  addressing the Corporation's compensation policies for 1994.
                  The Corporation does not formally use the title "Chief
                  Executive Officer". The principal executive officer of the
                  Corporation is the Chairman, Mr. William I. Miller.
 
       I. Compensation Policy for Executive Officers
 
       -------------------------------------------------------------------------
                  The Compensation Committee believes that compensation plans
                  make up only one element in the overall management system of
                  the Corporation. Furthermore, appropriate compensation
                  policies are a necessary, but not sufficient, condition for
                  achieving the Corporation's goals. A good compensation system
                  will not guarantee that we achieve our goals, but a poor
                  system can result in those goals not being achieved.
 
                  This interdependence requires that the Corporation's
                  compensation system grow out of and be consistent with our
                  corporate philosophies and strategy. Accordingly, the kind of
                  company we want the Corporation to be, the strategic direction
                  we are pursuing, and the kinds of people needed to bring that
                  vision to life are the starting points for developing our
                  philosophy and system of compensation.
 
                  The Corporation's executive compensation system focuses on the
                  total compensation package of the Corporation's top
                  executives. The Corporation's objective is to correlate total
                  compensation with company performance so that median
                  performance relative to similar companies in its industry will
                  produce median total compensation for individuals relative to
                  comparable positions in peer companies; inferior performance
                  will produce below median compensation; and superior
                  performance will produce above median compensation.
 
                  This approach requires that the Corporation start by defining
                  the appropriate peer group, both for individual positions and
                  the Corporation as a whole. For individual positions, this
                  decision is based on the relative level and scope of
                  responsibilities inherent in the position, and the talent and
                  skills required for success. The traditional measure for the
                  scope of responsibilities in commercial banks and bank holding
 
 13.
<PAGE>   16
 
                  companies is asset size. Mortgage banking companies generally
                  look at both loan closing volume and loan servicing size. The
                  Corporation's strategy is to enhance capital productivity,
                  which is defined as generating proportionately larger streams
                  of revenues and profits from a given capital and asset base.
                  Accordingly, asset growth in itself is not one of the
                  strategic objectives of the Corporation and the Corporation's
                  success at pursuing its strategy is not best defined by asset
                  size. As a result, in calibrating the scope of responsibility
                  of a given position, the Corporation looks at comparable
                  positions in other companies in multiple asset size groups as
                  well as peer companies defined by other measures (such as
                  total market capitalization or revenues) when they are
                  available.
 
                  Performance comparisons are generally made from the
                  shareholder's perspective. That is, groups of companies are
                  selected that may be seen as alternative investments by
                  current and prospective investors. Even so, the Corporation's
                  most direct competitors for executive talent are not
                  necessarily all of the companies that would be included in a
                  peer group selected to compare shareholder returns. Thus,
                  although there may be some overlap, the surveys selected for
                  compensation review purposes do not contain information on the
                  same companies as those found in the peer group indices in the
                  Comparison of Five-Year Cumulative Total Return graph included
                  in this proxy statement.
 
                  All of the Corporation's operating companies (including the
                  Corporation as a separate entity) use multiple sources of both
                  compensation and performance data. This is because experience
                  has shown that results can vary greatly from one survey to the
                  next. In the case of compensation market data, the
                  Compensation Committee is provided with multiple sources of
                  data on each executive position reviewed. When available, the
                  information is in the form of 25th percentile, median, and
                  75th percentile compensation. Four different market
                  compensation comparisons were considered for the Chairman in
                  1994.
 
                  Historically, total compensation has been defined in surveys
                  to include only base salary and the annual bonus. As reliable
                  information on the present value of long-term grants becomes
                  more available, it will be used as additional support for
                  compensation decisions.
 
                  The percent of total compensation that is variable increases
                  with the executive's position with the Corporation. This is
                  consistent both with the individual's influence on results and
                  his/her economic capacity to tolerate volatility in
                  compensation levels.
 
                  In addition to information on the market level of
                  compensation, members of the Committee review a summary of
                  individual performance over the past year including key
                  accomplishments, strengths, and weaknesses. They also may
                  consider their own subjective assessments of an executive's
                  performance and relative contribution to the organization.

       II.   The Elements of Executive Compensation and Corporate Performance
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
                  A. Base Salary
 
                  Turning to a review of each of the elements of the total
                  compensation package, base salary is important in achieving
                  one of the Corporation's compensation goals which is
                  attracting and retaining qualified executives. Base salary is
                  generally targeted to be at the median of similar positions in
                  the industry. Exceptions may exist when a higher level of base
                  salary would be required to attract or retain a uniquely
                  qualified executive officer. In order to maintain the target
                  position, annual increases are approximately equal to the
                  median increases in the respective industries in which our
                  operating companies compete unless the growth of the company
                  warrants comparison with a larger peer group with that
                  industry. The total base salary paid to the Chairman in 1994
                  was $260,000, up 10.2% from 1993.
 
                  B. Annual Short-Term Bonus
 
                  The annual bonus is the component that provides a current cash
                  compensation reward for above median current performance. Each
                  executive officer participating in the annual bonus plan has a
                  payment target expressed as a percentage of base salary. The
                  Corporation believes that, when combined with properly
                  selected performance targets, this rewards managers for making
                  investments in future performance, valuing consistency, and
                  managing risk.
 
                  Operating company heads receive part of their target annual
                  bonus based upon the performance of their company, and part
                  based upon consolidated performance of the Corporation. In
                  this way, they have a financial incentive to achieve potential
                  synergies between operating companies.
 
                  We believe that the best performance targets are those which
                  are objectively and consistently measured, as well as easily
                  understood by participants. Most of the bonus plans of the
                  Corporation and its operating companies include return on
                  equity as the key performance measure. Specific performance
                  targets for each year are approved by the board of directors
                  of each operating company and of the Corporation and are based
                  upon a variety of factors including historical and expected
                  industry performance, the estimated required rate of return by
                  investors, and the prior year's budgeted and actual
                  performance.
 
                  Payments under the annual bonus plans vary with company
                  performance. The formulas used to calculate payouts are based
                  on changes in proportion with performance between three
                  defined points: a threshold, the target, and two-times target.
                  Included below is an illustrative diagram showing the general
                  structure of our annual bonus plan payout formulas. It does
                  not represent the actual formula for any specific plan.

                      Example Annual Bonus Payout Formula
 
                                 [CRC To Come]
 
                  There is no payout until a minimum threshold of performance,
                  usually greater than half the target level, is achieved.
                  Payments increase proportionately until they reach target
                  payout at target performance. Performance above target
                  increases payments proportionately until they reach twice the
                  target level. This point is chosen with the intent of aligning
                  total relative compensation with relative performance. For
                  example, if the performance required to produce twice the
                  target level of bonus were set at approximately the 90th
                  percentile of industry performance, base salary plus twice the
                  target level of bonus produces total compensation no higher
                  than the 90th percentile for the industry. Plan payments are
                  not capped, but the rate of increased payment slows
                  considerably at performance levels above the level required
                  for twice the target amount.
 
                  C. Long-Term Incentives
 
                  Long-term incentive plans are provided to supplement the
                  incentive provided by annual bonus plans for building the
                  value of the Corporation over the long term. Operating company
                  heads may receive the majority of their long-term compensation
                  based upon growth in the value of their subsidiary operating
                  company. Certain holding company executive officers and some
                  operating company executive officers are provided with
                  long-term incentive compensation through grants of non-
                  qualified stock options. Existing stock option plans of the
                  Corporation include the ability to grant stock appreciation
                  rights in addition to options.

       III.   Formulation of the Chairman's Compensation
 
       -------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
                  The Chairman's current compensation package includes a base
                  salary of $270,000 plus an annual bonus at target performance
                  of 45% of base salary or $121,500. As noted above, there is no
                  single, clear measure of market compensation for executive
                  positions in the Corporation. The Compensation Committee used
                  four different market surveys for the Chairman's position in
                  1994. Based on these surveys, estimates of the 25th
                  percentile, median, and 75th percentile points of total annual
                  compensation were made. Based on these estimates, the
                  Committee approved a package of base salary plus annual bonus
                  which was intended to produce total annual compensation from a
                  low of approximately the 41st percentile with no payout to a
                  high of approximately the 60th percentile of total annual
                  compensation based on data available at the time the package
                  was approved.
 
                  Actual total cash compensation paid to the Chairman for 1994
                  was $526,328, up 9.3% from 1993. Return on equity for 1994 was
                  23.91%, compared to 24.91% in 1993. We believe that both
                  returns are in the top decile of peer performance. Total
                  shareholder return (including dividends and price
                  appreciation) was 8.5% for 1994 and 10.0% for 1993 for Irwin
                  Financial. This compares to 0.6% in 1994 and 22.9% in 1993 for
                  the Russell 2000 Financial Services Sector Index.
 
                  For long-term incentive compensation purposes, the Chairman
                  received an option grant of 16,600 shares in 1994 at an
                  exercise price of $22.75 per share (representing the mean
                  between the bid and asked prices on the grant date). The
                  Chairman also received a grant of 14,400 shares in 1993 at an
                  exercise price of $22.13 (split adjusted) per share and a
                  grant of 14,000 shares in 1992 at an exercise price of $11.81
                  (split adjusted) per share. These three grants are the only
                  long-term grants outstanding for the Chairman. Through
                  employment of the "Black-Scholes" and "Binomial" option
                  pricing models, respectively, we estimate that the present
                  value of these options at grant date was $175,960 to $178,450.

Interest of Management in Certain Transactions
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                  Certain directors and officers of the Corporation or its
                  subsidiaries, and the associates of such persons, were
                  customers of, and had transactions with subsidiaries of the
                  Corporation in the ordinary course of business during the past
                  year, including insurance services, corporate and personal
                  trust services and general commercial and mortgage banking
                  business. Additional transactions may be expected to take
                  place between such persons and these subsidiaries. All
                  outstanding loans and commitments included in such
                  transactions were made in the ordinary course of business and
                  on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and
                  collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable
                  transactions with other persons and did not involve more than
                  the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable
                  features.
 
                  Companies controlled by Irwin Miller, Clementine Tangeman and
                  William I. Miller purchased commercial paper from the
                  Corporation from time to time during the year. The maximum
                  amount outstanding during 1994 was $13,803,387 and the amount
                  outstanding at year end was $11,186,668. In the opinion of
                  management, the rates paid by the Corporation on these
                  commercial paper transactions were comparable to the
                  prevailing rates for such transactions at the time of the
                  respective transactions.

<PAGE>   21
 
                  In addition to corporate and personal trust services and
                  general banking business, companies owned or controlled by
                  Messrs. Miller and Mrs. Tangeman purchased insurance services
                  (offered by a subsidiary of Irwin Union Bank, Irwin Union
                  Insurance, Inc., to the companies and to the public,
                  generally, as a regular service) for the sale of which Irwin
                  Union Insurance, Inc. received gross commissions in 1994 of
                  approximately $17,990. The commissions paid were at the same
                  rate as those prevailing on comparable sales to the general
                  public.
 
                  During 1994, the Corporation made payments totaling $38,628 to
                  a company controlled by Messrs. Miller and Mrs. Tangeman in
                  exchange for the administrative and support services of an
                  employee of such company. In the opinion of management, such
                  payment was comparable to, or more favorable to the
                  Corporation than, the cost of hiring an additional employee.
 
                  Irwin Union Bank has leased, on a year-to-year basis, certain
                  properties for parking purposes in downtown Columbus, Indiana
                  from a partnership owned and controlled by Mr. Irwin Miller
                  and Mrs. Tangeman and a company controlled by Mr. Miller and
                  Mrs. Tangeman. The aggregate annual rental for the parking
                  space is $3,840. In the opinion of management, these lease
                  terms are comparable to those unaffiliated persons would
                  charge.
 
                  Inland Mortgage has a correspondent relationship with Fulton
                  Financial Corp., a mortgage broker located in Cleveland, Ohio.
                  The President of Fulton Financial Corp., Thomas Q. Fulton, is
                  a brother of David C. Fulton, an executive officer of the
                  Corporation. In 1994, Inland Mortgage purchased $19 million of
                  mortgage loans at market prices from Fulton Financial Corp.
                  This amounted to approximately 1.6% of the total mortgage
                  loans purchased by Inland Mortgage from correspondents in
                  1994.
 
                  In 1979, Irwin Union Insurance, Inc., as an independent
                  property/casualty insurance agency, was appointed to represent
                  and offer property/casualty and liability products of the The
                  St. Paul Companies to its customers. Director Nominee Kling is
                  also a director of The St. Paul Companies. In 1994, Irwin
                  Union Insurance, Inc. received gross agency commissions of
                  $60,810 from The St. Paul Companies.
 
2.   Confirming Appointment of Auditors
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                  The Board of Directors recommends confirmation of the
                  appointment of Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P., certified public
                  accountants, to audit the books and accounts of the
                  Corporation for 1995. No member of the firm has any material
                  interest, financial or otherwise, in the Corporation or any of
                  its subsidiaries.
 
                  In accordance with past practice, management has invited
                  representatives of Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. to be present at
                  the Annual Shareholders' Meeting. Management expects the
                  representatives to attend the meeting. If present, these
                  representatives will have an opportunity to make a statement,
                  if they so desire, and will be available to respond to
                  appropriate questions from shareholders.
 
                  See "Director Meetings and Committees" for information
