         In addition to the beneficial holdings set forth above, the Partnership
and its partners may be deemed to constitute a "group" under Section 13(d)(3) of
the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 for the purpose of acquiring,  holding and
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
owned by the  Partnership  and by virtue  of their  status  as  partners  of the
Partnership,  to be  beneficially  owned by each  individual  Reporting  Person.
However,  pursuant to Rule 13d-4, the Partnership disclaims beneficial ownership
of the shares  individually owned by its partners,  and Messrs.  Edward L. Baker
and John D. Baker II each  disclaim  beneficial  ownership  of the shares  owned
individually by the other individual Reporting Persons.

held by him  individually  and with respect to 78,673 shares he holds as trustee
for the minor children of John D. Baker II.

                  1,061,521  shares  (approximately  30.6% 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 2,542 shares held for his account  pursuant to a Tax  Reduction
Act  Employee  Stock  Ownership  Plan  ("TRAESOP")  established  by the Issuer's
affiliate.

                  John D. Baker, II has sole voting and  dispositive  power with
respect  to the 1,548  shares in the John D.  Baker,  II Living  Trust,  and the
117,204 shares held by him individually.

                  John D.  Baker,  II has sole voting  power but no  dispositive
power with  respect to 1,549  shares held for his account  pursuant to a TRAESOP
established by the Issuer's affiliate.

                  John D. Baker, II may be deemed to be the beneficial  owner of
700  shares  directly  owned by his wife.  Pursuant  to Rule  13d-4,  Mr.  Baker
disclaims such beneficial ownership.

                  John D. Baker, II has shared voting and dispositive power over
40,300 shares in the Regency II General Partnership.
