* Of the shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Person, 879,502 were
either acquired solely for investment purposes during 1979 or as a
result of subsequent stock dividends. Mr. Cogan initially obtained
shares of the issuer in respect of a distribution of the issuer's stock
by its parent, Pioneer Western Corporation, and in exchange for shares
of Pioneer Western Corporation that he owned prior to the date of such
distribution. The balance of 34,744 shares reported in item 9 on page 2
were acquired by trusts of which Mr. Cogan serves as a trustee. While
through inadvertence no Schedule 13G was ever filed, the Reporting
Person's record and beneficial ownership of the issuer's shares has
been reported in the issuer's proxy statements in every year since
1980. Moreover, the Reporting Person has filed all related Forms 4
under Section 16(a) since the issuer's Form 10 registration became
effective in 1980.
