Randall L. Haines, a member of the Compensation Committee, is president of
Compass Bank -Birmingham. The Company has a revolving line of credit at Compass

corporate purposes. As of January 31, 1997, there were no borrowings under such
line of credit.
The Company owns 21,021 shares in Compass Bank Short-Term High Quality Bond
Fund, a pooled fund administered by Compass Bank which invests primarily in
corporate and government agency securities. As of January 31, 1997, such shares
had a market value of approximately $2,094,473.

$100,000,000, respectively, from Compass Bank on a short-term basis to fund a
portion of the purchase price of $90,000,000 and $125,000,000, respectively, in
face amount of U.S. Treasury Bills. The securities were purchased by the

per annum. The Company sold the Treasury Bills in early February 1996 and 1997
