Steven  D.  Hovde  who  are collectively referred to herein  as  the  "Reporting
Persons."  The Limited Partnership is a Delaware limited partnership formed  for
the  purpose  of  investing  in, among other things, the  equity  securities  of
various financial institutions and financial services companies.  Hovde Capital,
L.L.C., a Nevada limited liability company, is the general partner (the "General
Partner")  of the Limited Partnership.  Both Eric D. Hovde and Steven  D.  Hovde
are managing members of Hovde Capital, L.L.C.

     Eric  D.  Hovde and Steven D. Hovde each hold beneficial interests  in  the
Shares  through  ownership  of  an interest in, and  positions  as  members  and
officers  of  the General Partner.  Eric D. Hovde and Steven D. Hovde  are  also
directors  and executive officers of Hovde Financial, Inc. ("Hovde  Financial").
Hovde Financial does not beneficially own any of the Shares.

     Attached  as  Schedule 1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein  is  a
list containing the principal business and the address of its principal business
and  office  for  the  Limited Partnership and the General Partner  as  well  as
information  required  by  (a) through (f) of this Item  as  to  each  executive
officer,  director  and/or controlling person of the  General  Partner  who  are
Reporting Persons.  The General Partner controls the Limited Partnership.

     None  of  the  Reporting  Persons  or  executive  officers,  directors   or
controlling persons of the General Partner has, during the last five years, been
convicted  in  a  criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations  or  similar
misdemeanors)  or  been  a  party  to  a  civil  proceeding  of  a  judicial  or

state securities laws or finding of any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

     Information regarding the source and amount of funds used by the  Reporting
Persons  in  acquiring  beneficial ownership of their Shares  is  set  forth  in
Schedule 2 attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

     The  Reporting Persons have acquired the Shares for investment purposes and
as set forth below:


Page 6 of 15 Pages

<PAGE>    7

     The  Reporting  Persons  expect  to evaluate  on  an  ongoing  basis  their
investment  in  the  Issuer, and may independently from  time  to  time  acquire
additional  Shares,  dispose of Shares or formulate  other  purposes,  plans  or
proposals  regarding the Issuer or the Shares held by the Reporting  Persons  in
addition to those discussed above.  Any such acquisitions or dispositions may be
made,  subject  to  available  law,  in  open  market  or  privately  negotiated
transactions or otherwise.

     Except  as  described  above, neither the Reporting  Persons  nor,  to  the
knowledge  of  the  Reporting Persons, any of the persons named  in  Schedule  I
hereto  have any plans or proposals which related to or would result in  any  of
the  actions or transactions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item  4  of
Schedule 13D.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer

     (a),  (b)   Schedule  3 hereto, which is incorporated by reference  herein,
sets forth, as of May 26, 2000, information relating to the aggregate number  of
Shares  of the Issuer and the percentage of the outstanding Shares of the Issuer
as  of  such  date  (based upon information provided by the  Issuer,  there  are
2,666,196  Shares  outstanding as of that date) as  to  each  of  the  Reporting
Persons.  With respect to the Shares set forth on Schedule 3, by virtue  of  its
control  over  the  Limited  Partnership, all  decisions  regarding  voting  and
disposition of the Shares beneficially owned by the Limited Partnership are made
by  the General Partner acting through its chief executive officer or president.
As  such,  the  Limited  Partnership and the General Partner  share  voting  and
investment  power with respect to the Shares.  Therefore, as a result  of  their
ownership  interest  in, and positions as members and officers  of  the  General
Partner,  Eric  D.  Hovde and Steven D. Hovde may be deemed to  have  beneficial
ownership of the Shares.  Neither the General Partner, its executive officers or
controlling persons beneficially owns any Shares personally or otherwise.

     (c)   Schedule  4  hereto,  which  is  incorporated  by  reference  herein,
describes,  as of May 26, 2000, transactions in the Shares effected  during  the
