     (d) To the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no person other than
the Reporting Persons and their equity owners has the right to receive or the
power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of,
the Common Stock of the Issuer.

     (e) Not applicable.

Item 6.   CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT
          TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

     Lincolnshire Associates beneficially owns 50,000 shares of Common Stock.
Portshire Corp., the general partner of Lincolnshire Associates, is a wholly
owned subsidiary of Edmundson International. Therefore, Edmundson International,
through its ownership of Portshire Corp., beneficially owns 50,000 shares of
Common Stock. Edmundson International is itself a wholly owned subsidiary of
CED. Therefore, CED, through its ownership of Edmundson International and
indirect ownership of Portshire Corp., beneficially owns 50,000 shares of Common
Stock. CED Pension Plan beneficially owns 481,512 shares of Common Stock. Hajoca
Pension Plan beneficially owns 169,600 shares of Common Stock.

     CED Pension Plan and Hajoca Pension Plan (collectively, the "Plans") 
each have a committee that makes investment decisions on each such Plans' 
behalf. Any two members of CED Pension Plan's committee and any one member of 
Hajoca Pension Plan's committee can make decisions with respect to its Plan. 
The membership on the committees of CED Pension Plan and Hajoca Pension Plan 
are substantially similar to one another. Two of the members on CED Pension 
Plan's investment committee, and one member on Hajoca Pension Plan's 
investment committee, also make investment decisions for Lincolnshire 
Associates and therefore indirectly, for Portshire Corp., Edmundson 
International, and CED.

     The directors and executive officers of CED have no agreement or
understanding of any kind with the members of the investment committees of CED
Pension Plan and Hajoca Pension Plan regarding the holding, voting or
disposition of the Common Stock. However, given the overlaps between the
individuals involved in investment decisions for CED and these same individuals'
membership on the investment committees of CED Pension Plan and Hajoca Pension
Plan, it is possible that these individuals may cause the Reporting Persons to
act in concert regarding such actions in the future. As such, the Reporting
Persons, although disclaiming membership in a group, have nonetheless filed this
Statement on Schedule 13D.(2)

     Item 7.   MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.

Exhibit 7 (1).  Agreement with Respect to Schedule 13D.

      (2) In addition, the Reporting Persons note that: (a) K. W. Colburn,
Director and President of Edmundson International and a Director of CED,
beneficially owns 2,000 shares of Common Stock; and (b) the
K. W. Colburn - KEOGH beneficially owns 2,000 shares of Common Stock.
