(1)	The 8,000 share disposition occurred as a gift of stock on March 2, 2005 to a charitable organization in which Mr. Congdon has no direct relationship. The share total has not been adjusted since the previously reported balance had incorrectly excluded the shares.
(2)	Mr. Congdon's spouse owns 9,103 shares of the issuer's common stock which is included in this amount and for which Mr. Congdon is deemed to be the indirect owner.
(3)	On November 8, 2005, 64,507 shares of the issuer's common stock were sold by a charitable foundation. Mr. Congdon is the Vice President of this foundation and he has sole depositive power over the assets of the foundation. The share total has not been adjusted as the previously reported balance had incorrectly excluded these shares.
