     As a result of the issuance of 1,397,508 shares of Security stock in
connection with the acquisition of First Kent, Mr. Valentine is no longer an
over 5% stockholder of Security.

     Mr. Valentine owns beneficially an aggregate of 200,398 shares of

adding the number of options which Mr. Valentine may exercise to the number
of shares issued and outstanding) of the number of shares of such common stock

Valentine owns directly, with sole voting and investment power, 32,100 shares
held in a living trust for the benefit of Mr. Valentine, 25,000 shares held
in a living trust for the benefit of Mr. Valentine's wife, 4,072 shares held
in Security's 401(k) Plan which have been allocated to Mr. Valentine, 684
shares subject to conversion rights with respect to eight of Security's
Convertible Subordinated Debentures and 44,460 shares which Mr. Valentine has
the right to acquire with respect to the exercise of stock options.

     No other person is known to have the right to receive or the power to
direct the receipt of dividends from or the proceeds from the sale of, the
shares held by Mr. Valentine.

Item 6.  Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships

(legal or otherwise) between Mr. Valentine and any other person with respect
to any securities of the issuer, including but not limited to, transfer or
voting of any of such securities, finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or
option arrangements, put or calls, guarantees of profits, divisions of profits
or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.  None of the Security common

stock beneficially owned by Mr. Valentine is pledged or otherwise subject to
