NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) A. Unaudited Financial Statements The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. It is management's opinion that all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the interim periods have been made. B.

Accounting Policy Change The Company adopted the provisions of the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 ("SFAS 115"), "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt & Equity Securities" for such securities held as of or acquired after July 1, 1994. In accordance with SFAS 115, prior period financial statements have not been restated. Currently, a portion of the Company's investments have been classified as trading securities and are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported in earnings. The balance of the Company's investments are currently classified as available for sale and are carried at fair value with unrealized gains or losses excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity. The cost of investments sold is determined on the specific identification method. Investments are reported at fair value. Investments designated trading securities are carried as current assets. Available-for-sale investments are carried as current or non-current assets as appropriate. The Company has not identified any held-to-maturity investments at this time. Dividend and interest income are accrued as earned. Registrant has reported the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle relating to trading securities as an expense of $593,000, net of taxes. During the quarter ended September 30, 1994, the market value of the Company's trading securities declined $615,000 and is included in Other income (expense). The Company has reported the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle relating to available for sale securities as a reduction in shareholders' equity of $546,000, net of taxes. During the quarter ended September 30, 1994, the fair value of the Company's available for sale securities declined resulting in an additional reduction in shareholders' equity of $15,000. C. Accounting Changes (CONTINUED) Unrealized gains and losses on available for sale investment securities included in shareholders' equity at September 30, 1994 were fixed income government securities maturing after 1 through 5 years with a cost of $28,215,000, a fair value of $27,419,000, resulting in a net unrealized loss of $(796,000) and fixed income government backed securities with a maturity after 5 through 10 years with a cost of $1,699,000, a fair value of $1,560,000, resulting in a net unrealized loss of $(139,000). Deferred income taxes on the unrealized loss is $374,000. Item 2.
