         NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

   The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have
   been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities
   and Exchange Commission for interim financial information.  The results of
   operations for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 are not
   necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

   It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with
   the financial statements, accounting policies and financial notes thereto
   included in the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended
   December 31, 1994.

   In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated unaudited
   financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal
   recurring accruals) which are necessary for a fair presentation of financial
   results for the interim periods presented.


NOTE 2.   NOTES PAYABLE BANKS

   On August 7, 1995, M/I Financial entered into a new loan agreement with
   its lender.  The amount available and other terms of the new agreement
   remain substantially the same as the previous agreement.  This agreement
   terminates on July 19, 1996 and the unpaid balance of such loans are payable
   on this date.


NOTE 3.   CONTINGENCIES

   At June 30, 1995, the Company had options and contingent purchase contracts
   to acquire land and developed lots with an aggregate purchase price of
   approximately $144.0 million.

</TABLE>

         A home is included in "New Contracts" when the Company's standard
sales contract, which requires a deposit and generally has no contingencies
other than for financing, is executed.  In the Midwest Region, contracts are
sometimes accepted contingent upon the sale of an existing home.  "Homes
Delivered" represents units for which the closing of the sale has occurred and
title has transferred to the buyer.  Revenue and cost of revenue for a home
sale are recognized at the time of such closing.

         "Backlog" represents homes for which the Company's standard sales
contract has been executed, but which are not included in Homes Delivered
because closings for the sale of such homes have not yet occurred as of the end
of the periods specified.  Most cancellations of contracts for homes in Backlog
occur because customers cannot qualify for financing.  These cancellations
usually occur prior to the start of construction.  Since the Company arranges
financing with guaranteed rates for many of its customers, the incidence of
cancellations after the start of construction is low.  In the first six months
of 1995, the Company delivered 1,246 homes, most of which were homes under
contract in Backlog at December 31, 1994.  Of the 1,257 contracts in Backlog at
December 31, 1994, 14.6% have been canceled as of June 30, 1995.  For homes in
Backlog at December 31, 1993, 13.1% had been canceled as of June 30, 1994.

SIX MONTHS AND THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1994

         Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1995 increased 3.1%
and for the three months ended June 30, 1995 decreased 3.9% from the comparable
periods of 1994. The increase recorded for the six-month period resulted from a
significant increase in revenue from lot and land sales as well as a 9.8%
increase in the average sales price of Homes Delivered, partially offset by an
8.0% decrease in the number of Homes Delivered during the period.  The decrease
in total revenue for the three-month period resulted from a 14.3% decrease in
the number of Homes Delivered, partially offset by a 9.2% increase in the
average sales price of Homes Delivered and an increase in lot and land revenue.
For both periods, the increase in the average sales price of Homes Delivered
was primarily due to the Palm Beach County and Maryland markets.  In Palm Beach
County, the Company has expanded the product lines offered to include higher
priced homes allowing the division to build in more upscale areas of the
market.  In Maryland, the increase was primarily due to the opening of a new
subdivision

                                     -9-
<PAGE>   10
where the average sales price is significantly higher than the division's
average and where sales have been particularly strong in 1995.  The decreases
in the number of homes delivered was primarily due to the lower number of homes
in backlog at the beginning of the quarter and year due to lower New Contracts
recorded in the last half of 1994 and the first quarter of 1995.

         The increase in lot and land revenue for both the three- and six-month
periods ended June 30, 1995 is primarily attributable to the Washington, D.C.
market.  Late in 1994, the Company completed development of the first phase of
a six-phase land development project. The Company has entered into contracts to
sell a portion of the lots developed to outside homebuilders.  The Company
believes that lot and land revenue will remain at relatively high levels for
the next few years in comparison to historical amounts as the Company continues
to develop this and possibly other projects where a portion of the lots will be
sold to outside homebuilders.

         The number of New Contracts recorded during the first six months of
1995 was 2.8% lower than the number recorded for the comparable period in the
prior year, New Contracts recorded for the second quarter were 23.3% higher
than the prior year's amount. The Company believes that New Contracts recorded
during the first quarter were adversely effected by higher interest rates
available to potential homebuyers.  In the second quarter, falling interest
rates brought more potential customers back into the market.  In addition, the
Company introduced its more affordable Horizon line of homes in several of its
other markets as well as expanding the Horizon line into new subdivisions in
the Columbus market.  New Contracts recorded in the second quarter were higher
in the current year in all markets except Tampa, Charlotte and Maryland.

         The overall gross margin was 18.0% and 18.2% for the six and three
months ended June 30, 1995 as compared to 18.3% and 18.4% for the comparable
periods of 1994.

         The gross margin from housing sales was 17.0% for the six months ended
June 30, 1995, down slightly from the 17.1% recorded for the comparable period
in the prior year.  The gross margin from housing sales remained constant at
17.2% for the second quarter of 1995 and 1994.

         The gross margin from lot and land sales was significantly lower in
the current year for both the six- and three-month periods ended June 30, 1995
as compared to the same periods of the prior year.  The gross margin recorded
in the prior year was unusually high due to the sale of a tract of commercial
real estate which produced a gross margin significantly higher than normal lot
sales.  Excluding the commercial land sale from prior amounts, the gross
margins on land sales in the current year are higher than those achieved in
prior years.  This is primarily due to the land development project in the
Washington, D.C. market (see above) where development plans included
significant sales of lots to outside homebuilders and demand has allowed the
Company to obtain higher margins.

         General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue
decreased from 5.9% and 5.8% for the six and three months ended June 30, 1994
to 5.6% and 5.5% for the comparable periods in the current year.  These
decreases were primarily due to cost control efforts throughout the Company in
the face of declining sales during the second half of 1994 in many of our
markets.

                                     -10-
<PAGE>   11

         Selling expenses as a percentage of total revenue remained constant at
6.9% for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 and for the three months
ended June 30, 1995 increased to 6.7% of total revenue compared to 6.3% for the
comparable period of 1994. Additional costs incurred in connection with opening
more new model homes in the current year contributed to this increase.

         Interest expense for the six and three months ended June 30, 1995
increased to $6.6 million and $3.5 million from $3.7 million and $2.1 million
for the comparable periods of the prior year.  The increase in 1995 resulted
from an increase in the weighted average interest rate and an increase in the
average balance outstanding as well as a decreased portion of interest costs
being capitalized in 1995.  The increase in the weighted average interest rate
was due to increases in the prime interest rate on which interest on the notes
payable banks is based.  The increase in the average balance outstanding
related to the notes payable banks which increased primarily to fund the
increased investment in single-family lots, land and land development costs.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's financing needs depend upon its sales volume, asset
turnover, land acquisition and inventory balances.  The Company has incurred
substantial indebtedness, and expects to incur indebtedness in the future, to
fund the growth of its homebuilding activities.  Historically, the Company's
principal source of funds for construction and development activities has been
from internally generated cash and from bank borrowings which are primarily
unsecured.

         At June 30, 1995 the Company had bank borrowings outstanding of $123.2
million under its loan agreement which permits aggregate borrowings not to
exceed the lesser of: $141.0 million in revolving credit loans, including $30.0
million of seasonal loans which are available from March 1st through December
31st during each year of the agreement and $25.0 million, including $4.0
million for joint ventures in which the Company is a partner, in the form of
letters of credit; or the Company's borrowing base which is calculated based on
specified percentages of certain types of assets held by the Company as of each
month end.  The loan agreement matures September 30, 1999, at which time the
unpaid balance of the revolving credit loans outstanding shall be due and
payable.  Under the terms of the loan agreement, the banks make an annual
determination as to whether or not to extend the maturity date of the
commitments by one year.  The Company is required to pay interest at the prime
rate of the banks until December 31, 1997, after which the interest rate will
increase to 1/2% over the prime rate of the banks.  If the Company fails to
maintain a certain ratio of liabilities to net worth during the term of the
loan agreement, the interest rate will increase 1/4% until the Company
complies with the ratio.  The loan agreement contains restrictive covenants
which require the Company, among other things, to maintain minimum net worth
and working capital amounts and to maintain certain financial ratios.  The loan
agreement also places limitations on the amount of additional indebtedness that
may be incurred by the Company, the acquisition of undeveloped land, on
dividends that may be paid and on the aggregate cost of certain types of
inventory the Company can hold at any one time.

         On August 7, 1995, M/I Financial entered into a new loan agreement
with its lender which permits borrowings of $25.0 million to finance mortgage
loans initially funded by M/I

                                     -11-
<PAGE>   12
Financial, up to $5.0 million of which can be used to fund loans for borrowers
other than customers of the Company's home-building operations.  The agreement
limits the borrowings to 95% of the aggregate face amount of the mortgages and
contains restrictive covenants requiring M/I Financial to maintain certain
minimum net worth and financial ratios.  Borrowings under the agreement are at
the lender's prime rate and are unsecured.  The agreement terminates on  July
19, 1996 and the unpaid balance of such borrowings are payable on this date.
The previous loan agreement also permitted borrowings of $25.0 million and
contained restrictive covenants substantially similar to the new loan
agreement.  At June 30, 1995, $9.4 million was outstanding under the previous
loan agreement.

         In addition, there were outstanding Subordinated Notes in the
principal amount of $24.5 million at June 30, 1995 and approximately $20.7
million of completion bonds and letters of credit at June 30, 1995. Annual
sinking fund payments for the Subordinated Notes of approximately $3.7 million
commence December 1, 1997 with the remaining balance due at maturity on
December 1, 2001.  The Notes are redeemable in whole or in part at the option
of the Company on or after December 1, 1996 at 106% of the principal amount
until December 1, 1997 and declining 1 1/2% annually through 2000.

         At June 30, 1995, the Company had $21.7 million of unused borrowing
availability under its loan agreements.  At June 30, 1995, the Company had the
right to borrow up to $154.3 million under its credit facilities, including
$30.0 million of seasonal loans, available from March 1st through December 31
during each year of the loan agreement, and $13.3 million under the M/I
Financial Loan Agreement (95% of the aggregate face amount of eligible mortgage
loans).  The Company has requested an increase of $25.0 million in the amount
available under its loan agreement.  The Company is currently negotiating with
its banks to obtain this increase as well as to modify certain of the
restrictive covenants contained in the agreement.  The Company believes that
such increased bank borrowings, together with internally generated funds, will
be adequate for the Company's foreseeable needs for operations, limited
expansion, land investment and interest obligations of outstanding debt. The
Company does not currently have any arrangements for additional financing nor
is there any assurance that it will be able to obtain additional financing.

         The $20.2 million increase in notes payable to banks from December 31,
1994 to June 30, 1995 reflects increased borrowings primarily attributable to
the seasonal increase in homes under construction and an increase in
single-family lots, land and land development costs.  It is expected that
borrowing needs will increase as the Company continues to increase its
investment in land under development and developed lots.

         Net income from housing and lot and land sales are the Company's
primary sources of net cash provided by operating activities.  Net cash used by
operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 1995 was $22.9 million
compared to $25.0 million for the comparable period of the prior year.  The
decrease in net cash used by operating activities was primarily due to a
smaller increase in inventories, partially offset by a smaller decrease in
receivables.

         The Company has reached an agreement in principal with certain
unrelated parties for the construction of an approximately 85,000 square foot
building.  The four current office locations in Columbus, Ohio will be
consolidated into one building in an effort to improve operating efficiencies.
It is the Company's intention that the building be built, owned and operated,
by a yet to be formed limited liability company in which the Company would have
a 1/3 interest (the "LLC").  The building will primarily be financed through
borrowings of the LLC


                                     -12-
<PAGE>   13
and the Company intends to sign a long-term operating lease for the premises
with the LLC.  The Company anticipates the building would be completed by the
third quarter of 1996.  The Company believes that any commitments arising from
this transaction would not significantly affect its liquidity or capital
resources.

         Due to the current lending environment, developers from whom the
Company customarily obtains lots under either an option or commitment contract
are experiencing continuing  difficulty in obtaining land acquisition and
development financing. Consequently, the Company's land development activities
and land holdings have increased.  In 1994, the Company entered into two land
purchase contracts which require a greater investment than the Company normally
commits and could significantly impact the Company's liquidity.  On January 31,
1994, the Company closed on the first phase of a six phase land purchase
contract in the Washington, D.C. market.  This first phase was purchased for
$6.6 million and was developed into 106 single-family and townhouse lots. Based
on the demand for lots in this area and the strong sales in the first phase of
this development, the Company purchased the second phase of this development
through a series of three closings in May, June and July of 1995.  The total
purchase price for this phase was approximately $6.4 million and this section
will be developed into 122 single-family and townhouse lots. The Company sold a
portion of the developed lots from the first phase to outside homebuilders and
has entered into similar contracts to sell a portion of the lots in the second
phase to outside homebuilders. The Company has an option to purchase each of
the remaining phases.  If the Company purchases all six phases, the total
purchase price will be approximately $38.9 million and the land will be
developed into approximately 710 lots.

         In August 1994, the Company completed the purchase of a parcel of land
in the Columbus market for $7.5 million which will be developed into
approximately 375 lots.  The Company has completed development of several
phases of this project into a total of 129 lots.  Model homes were opened in
this development in April 1995 and sales have remained strong.

         The extent of the Company's ability to invest in land development will
be dependent upon its ability to obtain increases in its borrowing availability
from its banks.  Investment in additional land will result in increased
interest expense being incurred by the Company and slower turnover of
inventory.  To finance land purchases, the Company may also increase its use of
secured purchase money mortgages.  At June 30, 1995 mortgage notes payable
outstanding were $457,000 secured by lots and land with a recorded book value
of $1.5 million. The Company has requested an increase in the amounts available
under its line of credit; however, the Company does not currently have any
arrangements for additional capital nor is there any assurance that it will be
able to obtain additional capital.  In the event that additional capital is not
obtained, the Company anticipates that it will need to curtail its land
development activities.

INTEREST RATES AND INFLATION

         The Company's business is significantly affected by general economic
conditions of the United States and, particularly, by the impact of interest
rates.  Higher interest rates may decrease the potential market by making it
more difficult for home buyers to qualify for mortgages or to obtain mortgages
at interest rates acceptable to them.  Increases in interest rates also would
increase the Company's interest expense as the rate on the revolving loans is
based upon floating rates of interest. The weighted average interest rates on
the Company's


                                     -13-
<PAGE>   14
outstanding debt for the six months ended June 30, 1995 was 10.2% as compared
to 8.4% for the six months ended June 30, 1994.

         In conjunction with its mortgage banking operations, the Company uses
hedging methods to reduce its exposure to interest rate fluctuations between
the commitment date of the loan and the time the loan closes.

         In recent years, the Company generally has been able to raise prices
by amounts at least equal to its cost increases and, accordingly, has not
experienced any detrimental effect from inflation. Where the Company develops
lots for its own use, inflation may increase the Company's profits because land
costs are fixed well in advance of sales efforts.  The Company is generally
able to maintain costs with subcontractors from the date a home sales contract
is accepted; however, in certain  situations unanticipated costs may occur
between the time a sales contract is executed and the time a home is
constructed, which result in lower gross profit margins.

Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
-------------------------------------------------------------

         On May 10, 1995, the Company held its 1995 annual meeting of
shareholders.  The shareholders voted on the election of three directors to
three-year terms and the approval of the Amended Performance-Based Bonus Plan
(the "Plan") for the Chief Executive Officer. The Plan was submitted to the
shareholders in order to maintain the tax deductibility of any annual
compensation paid to the Chief Executive Officer that exceeds $1,000,000.  The
Plan determines the Chief Executive Officer's annual bonus pursuant to two
factors:  the percentage of the Company's income before income taxes that
exceeds $10 million, and the Company's customer satisfaction rating.  The
results of the voting for the directors and the Plan are as follows:

                  SECTION 2.  AMOUNT AND TERMS OF COMMITMENT
                              ------------------------------

         2.1     COMMITMENT.  Subject to the terms and conditions of the 
Agreement, the Bank agrees to make revolving credit loans (the "Loans") to the
Borrowers from time to time during the Commitment Period in an aggregate
principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the lesser of (a)
Twenty-Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($25,000,000), or (b) ninety-five
percent (95%) of the aggregate face amount of all Eligible Mortgage Loans in
existence at such time.  During the Commitment Period and as long as no Event
of Default exists, the Borrowers may use the Commitment by borrowing, prepaying
the Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the
terms and conditions hereof.

         2.2     NOTE.  The Loans made by the Bank pursuant hereto shall be
evidenced by a promissory note of the Borrowers, substantially in the form of
Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof (the "Note"), payable to the
order of the Bank and evidencing the obligation of the Borrowers to pay the
aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans made by the Bank, with interest
thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate in effect from time to
time, subject to the default interest rate provisions of subsection 2.6(c)
hereof.  Interest shall be payable in arrears and shall be due on the last day
of each month, beginning with August 31, 1995, and continuing on the last day
of each month thereafter, and on the last day of the Commitment Period.  If not
sooner paid, the entire principal amount of the Loans outstanding and any
remaining unpaid interest on the Loans shall be due and payable on the last day
of the Commitment Period.  The Bank is hereby authorized to record
electronically or otherwise the date and amount of each Loan disbursement made
by the Bank and the date and amount of each payment or prepayment of principal
thereof, and any such recordation shall constitute conclusive evidence, absent
manifest error, of the accuracy of the information so recorded; provided,
however, the failure of the Bank to make any such recordation(s) shall not
affect the obligation of Borrowers to repay outstanding principal, interest, or
any other amount due hereunder or under the Note in accordance with the terms
hereof and thereof.  The Note shall (a) be dated as of the date hereof, (b) be
stated to mature on the last day of the Commitment Period, and (c) bear
interest from and including the date thereof on the unpaid principal amount
thereof from time to time outstanding at a rate per annum equal to the Prime
Rate in effect from time to time, subject to the default interest rate
provisions of subsection 2.6(c) hereof.

         2.3     PROCEDURE FOR BORROWING.  The Borrowers may borrow under the
Commitment during the Commitment Period, provided the




                                      9
<PAGE>   10
Borrowers shall give the Bank irrevocable telephonic or written notice (which
notice must be received by the Bank prior to 3:00 P.M., Columbus, Ohio time for
funding to be made that day) on or before the requested Borrowing Date,
specifying (i) the date of the requested borrowing (which shall be a Business
Day), and (ii) the amount of the requested borrowing.  Each borrowing pursuant
to the Commitment shall be in the principal amount of the lesser of (a) $50,000
or any larger amount, and (b) the then undrawn amount of the Commitment.  On
the Borrowing Date, the Bank shall make available to Borrowers the funds
requested, subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of the
Agreement, by crediting the account of Financial on the books of the Bank at
its 100 East Broad Street, Columbus, Ohio office with the funds requested.  If
for any reason the Bank is unable to make funds available to the Borrowers as
aforesaid, the Bank shall notify the Borrowers immediately.

         2.4     COMMITMENT FEE.  The Borrowers agree to pay to the Bank a
commitment fee for the Commitment Period, computed at the rate of 1/4 of 1
percent (1/4%) per annum on the average daily unused amount of the Commitment
of the Bank during the Commitment Period, payable quarterly in arrears and due
on the last day of each September, December, March and June and on the last day
of the Commitment Period, commencing on the first of such dates to occur
after the date hereof.

         2.5     TERMINATION OR REDUCTION OF COMMITMENT.  (a) The Borrowers
shall have the right, upon not less than five Business Days' written notice to
the Bank, to terminate the Commitment or, from time to time (and so long as no
Default exists), reduce the amount of the Commitment, provided that (i) any
such reduction shall be accompanied by prepayment of the Loans made hereunder,
together with accrued interest on the amount so prepaid to the date of such
prepayment, to the extent, if any, that the amount of such Loans then
outstanding exceeds the amount of the Commitment as then reduced, and (ii) any
such termination of the Commitment shall be accompanied by prepayment in full
of the Loans then outstanding hereunder, together with accrued interest thereon
to the date of such prepayment, and the payment of any unpaid commitment fee
then accrued hereunder.  Any such reduction shall be in the amount of
$1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or such greater
amount as may be required for compliance with this subsection 2.5 and shall
reduce permanently the amount of the Commitment then in effect.

         2.6     COMPUTATION OF INTEREST AND FEES; DEFAULT INTEREST.

                 (a)   Commitment fees on the Commitment and interest in

         of a 360 day year for the actual days elapsed.  Any change in the
         interest rate on the Note resulting from a change in the Prime Rate
         shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on
         which such change in the Prime Rate shall become effective, without
         notice to the Borrowers; however, the Bank shall give the
         Borrowers prompt notice of all changes in the Prime Rate.

                 (b)   Each determination of an interest rate by the Bank 
         pursuant to the Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the 
         Borrowers in the absence of manifest error.

                 (c)   If all or a portion of the principal amount of any of 
         the Loans made hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the
         stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), any such overdue
         principal amount and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any
         overdue installment of interest on any Loan, shall, without limiting
         any other rights of the Bank, bear interest at a rate per annum which
         is the sum of (i) one percent (1.0%), and (ii) the rate which would
         otherwise be applicable thereto, from the date of such non-payment
         until paid in full (before, as well as after, judgment).

         2.7     USE OF PROCEEDS.  The proceeds of the initial Loan made
hereunder shall be used by the Borrowers to pay in full the obligations
outstanding under the 1994 Credit Agreement.  Upon Borrower's irrevocable
payment in full of the obligations outstanding under the 1994 Credit Agreement,
the Bank shall cancel the 1994 Loan Agreement and the promissory note related
to the 1994 Credit Agreement.  The remaining proceeds of the initial Loan and
the proceeds of subsequent Loans made hereunder shall be used by Borrowers
for lawful purposes in Financial's business.

                                      
                  SECTION 3.  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

financial condition of Financial as of the date thereof and the results of the
operations of Financial for the period then ended and from December 31, 1994 to
the date hereof, there has been no material adverse change in such condition.

qualified as a foreign corporation under the laws of any jurisdiction where the
failure to so qualify would have a material adverse effect on the business of
such Borrower, and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law, except to
the extent that the failure to comply therewith would not, in the aggregate,
have a material adverse effect on the business, operations, property or
financial or other condition of such Borrower and would not materially
adversely affect the ability of such Borrower to perform its obligations
under the Agreement and the Note.

         3.3     CORPORATE POWER; AUTHORIZATION; ENFORCEABLE OBLIGATIONS.  
Each of the Borrowers has the corporate power and authority to make, deliver

waiver or authorization of, or filing with, any Person (including without
limitation any Governmental Authority), is required to be made or obtained by
either of the Borrowers in connection with the borrowings hereunder or the

and the Note.  The Agreement has been, and the Note will be, duly executed and
delivered on behalf of each of the Borrowers and the Agreement constitutes, and
the Note when executed and delivered hereunder will constitute, a legal, valid
and binding obligation of each of the Borrowers enforceable against each of the
Borrowers in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect, if any, of
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement or other similar laws
relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally and the limitations,
if any, imposed by the  general principles of equity and public policy.

         3.4     NO LEGAL BAR.  The execution, delivery and performance of
the Agreement and the Note, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the
proceeds thereof does not and will not violate any Requirement of Law or
Contractual Obligation of either of the Borrowers and does not and will not
result in, or require, the




                                      12
<PAGE>   13
creation or imposition of any Lien on any of the properties of either of the
Borrowers or their respective revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or
Contractual Obligation.

         3.5     NO MATERIAL LITIGATION.  No litigation, investigation or
proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or,
to the best knowledge of the Borrowers, threatened by or against either of the
Borrowers or against any of their respective properties or revenues (a) with
respect to the Agreement or the Note or any of the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby, or (b) which could reasonably be expected to have a material
adverse effect on the business, operations, property or financial or other
condition of either of the Borrowers.

"carrying" any "margin stock" within the respective meanings of each of the
quoted terms under Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System as now and from time to time hereafter in effect.  No part of
the proceeds of any Loans hereunder will be used for "purchasing" or "carrying"

be inconsistent with, the provisions of the Regulations of such Board of
Governors.  If requested by the Bank, the Borrowers will furnish to the Bank a
statement in conformity with the requirements of Federal Reserve Form U-1
referred to in said Regulation U to the foregoing effect.

         3.7     INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT. Neither of the Borrowers is an

either of the Borrowers in the Agreement or in any other document furnished
from time to time in connection herewith (as such other documents may be
supplemented from time to time) contains or will contain any untrue statement

                        REVOLVING LOAN PROMISSORY NOTE
                        ------------------------------
$25,000,000.00                                                Columbus, Ohio
                                                              August 8, 1995


        FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned ("Borrowers"), jointly and
severally, promise to pay to the order of BANK ONE, COLUMBUS, N.A. ("Bank"), at
its principal office at 100 East Broad Street, Columbus, Ohio  43271, or at
such other place as the holder hereof may, from time to time, in writing
designate, the principal sum of Twenty-Five Million and 00/100 Dollars
($25,000,000.00), or so much thereof as may be disbursed to, or for the benefit
of, the Borrowers in accordance with the terms of a Revolving Credit Agreement
dated as of August 8, 1995 between Borrowers and Bank, as the same may
hereinafter be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time (the "Loan
Agreement") and remains unpaid, together with interest thereon at a rate per
annum equal to the Prime Rate in effect from time to time.  Interest shall be
payable in arrears and shall be due on the last day of each month, beginning
with August 31, 1995, and continuing on the last day of each month thereafter
and on the last day of the Commitment Period.

        Interest on this Note shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day
year for the actual days elapsed.  Any change in the interest rate resulting
from a change in the Prime Rate shall become effective as of the opening of
business on the day on which such change in the Prime Rate shall become
effective, without notice to the Borrowers.  Each determination of an interest
rate by the Bank pursuant to the Loan Agreement shall be conclusive and binding
on the Borrowers in the absence of manifest error.

        If all or a portion of the principal amount of any of the obligations
evidenced hereby shall not be paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise), any such overdue principal amount and, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, any overdue installment of any interest on
any obligation evidenced hereby, shall, without limiting any other rights of
the Bank, bear interest at a rate per annum which is the sum of (i) one percent
(1.0%) and (ii) the rate which would otherwise be applicable hereto, from the
date of such non-payment until paid in full (before, as well as after,
judgment).

<PAGE>   33
        This revolving loan promissory note is the Note identified in the Loan
Agreement, and said Loan Agreement is hereby incorporated into this Note and
made a part hereof.  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have 
the meanings set forth in the Loan Agreement.

        The Bank's records of the principal, accrued interest and other charges
due hereunder, as well as applicable interest rates and periods are, absent
manifest error, conclusive as to and binding upon all Persons.

        The entire unpaid principal balance evidenced by this Note plus any
accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any other indebtedness owing by
Borrowers to Bank under the Loan Agreement shall be paid in full on or before
the last day of the Commitment Period, which, if it does not occur sooner
pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, shall be July 19, 1996.

        The indebtedness evidenced hereby may be prepaid in whole or in part
without penalty.  All payments and prepayments received by Bank (a) shall, with
respect to scheduled payments, be applied, first, to accrued interest, and
second, to principal; (b) shall, with respect to prepayments be applied to
principal; (c) shall be in lawful money of the United States; and (d) shall be
credited as of the time received by Bank in cash or equivalent or when finally
collected. Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, repayments of principal
shall be eligible for reborrowing by Borrower.  Bank shall not be obligated to
extend any credit after (1) the occurrence of an Event of a Default, which,
under the terms of the Loan Agreement, results in either an automatic
termination of the Commitment or an election to terminate the Commitment, or
(2) the expiration of the term of this Note.  Any part of the indebtedness
evidenced by this Note outstanding on the last day of the Commitment Period
shall be repaid on that date.

        Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the whole or any part of
the unpaid indebtedness evidenced hereby shall, at once or at any time
thereafter, at the option of the holder or holders hereof, become due and
payable without notice or demand therefor, the same being expressly waived.  A
failure of the holder hereof to insist upon strict compliance with the terms
hereof or to assert any right hereunder shall not be a waiver of any default
and shall not be deemed to constitute a modification of the terms hereof or to
establish any claim or defense.

        Any and all moneys now or at any time hereafter owing to either or both
of the Borrowers from the holder hereof may be paid and applied on this and all
other indebtedness from the undersigned 





                                      2
<PAGE>   34
to the legal holder hereof at any time such indebtedness becomes due or is 
declared due and payable.

        No delay or omission on the part of the holder in exercising any right
hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other right under
this Note.  A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or
waiver of any such right and/or remedy on any future occasion.

        All persons now or hereafter liable, primarily or secondarily, for the
payment of the indebtedness evidenced hereby or any part thereof, do hereby
expressly waive presentment for payment, notice of dishonor, protest and notice
of protest, and agree that the time for payment or payments of any part of the
indebtedness evidenced hereby may be extended without releasing or otherwise
affecting their liability hereon.

        Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, that the local laws of the
State of Ohio shall govern their respective rights and duties hereunder and the
construction and effect hereof.  However, if any provision hereof is or becomes
invalid or unenforceable under any law of mandatory application, it is the
intent of Borrowers, the Bank and all parties primarily or secondarily liable
hereunder, that such provision will be deemed severed and omitted herefrom, the
remaining portions hereof to remain in full force and effect as written.

        To the extent that the terms and provisions of this Note are
inconsistent with the terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement, the terms and
provisions of this Note shall control.

        As a specifically bargained inducement for the Bank to extend credit
giving rise to the indebtedness evidenced hereby, the Borrowers and Bank agree
that: ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING IN RESPECT OF OR ARISING FROM OR OUT OF
THIS NOTE, ITS MAKING, VALIDITY OR PERFORMANCE, AT THE SOLE OPTION OF THE BANK
OR LEGAL HOLDER HEREOF, SHALL BE PROSECUTED AS TO ALL PARTIES AND THEIR
SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS AT COLUMBUS, OHIO.  EACH OF THE BORROWERS CONSENTS TO
AND SUBMITS TO THE EXERCISE OF JURISDICTION OVER ITS PERSON BY ANY COURT
SITUATED AT COLUMBUS, OHIO, AND HAVING JURISDICTION OVER THE SUBJECT MATTER.

        Each of the Borrowers authorizes any attorney at law to appear in any
court of record in the State of Ohio or any other State or Territory of the
United States, after the indebtedness evidenced hereby, or any part thereof,
becomes due and waive the issuance and service of process and confess judgment
against it in favor of the holder of this Note, for the amount then appearing
due, together with costs of suit and, thereupon, to release all 





                                      3
<PAGE>   35
errors and waive all rights of appeal and stay of execution, but no such
judgment or judgments against only one of the undersigned shall be a bar
to a subsequent judgment or judgments against either of the undersigned
against whom judgment has not been obtained hereon.  The foregoing warrant of
attorney shall survive any judgment; and if any judgment be vacated for any
reason, the holder hereof nevertheless may thereafter use the foregoing warrant
of attorney to obtain an additional judgment or judgments against one or both
of the undersigned.  Each of the Borrowers hereby expressly consents to the
confessing attorney's receipt of a legal fee from the holder of this Note for
confessing such judgment(s) against one or both of the undersigned.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the Borrowers has executed this Note as of
the day and year first above written at Columbus, Franklin County, Ohio.

WARNING--BY SIGNING THIS PAPER YOU GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO NOTICE AND COURT
TRIAL.  IF YOU DO NOT PAY ON TIME A COURT JUDGMENT MAY BE TAKEN AGAINST YOU
WITHOUT YOUR PRIOR KNOWLEDGE AND THE POWERS OF A COURT CAN BE USED TO COLLECT
FROM YOU REGARDLESS OF ANY CLAIMS YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST THE CREDITOR WHETHER FOR
RETURNED GOODS, FAULTY GOODS, FAILURE ON HIS PART TO COMPLY WITH THE AGREEMENT,
OR ANY OTHER CAUSE.
