Item 4. Ownership

      Provide the following information regarding the aggregate number and
percentage of the class of securities of the issuer identified in Item 1.

     (a) Amount beneficially owned

         UMB has beneficial ownership of 304,335 shares which it holds in its
         capacity as a fiduciary for respective customers. Scout has
         beneficial ownership of 216,000 held in the UMB Scout Small Cap Fund.
         UMBF has indirect beneficial ownership of the same shares through UMB
         and Scout; therefore, UMBF may be deemed to be, for purposes of Rule
         13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934
         Act"), the beneficial owner of the securities covered by this
         statement.

         UMBF, UMB and Scout are of the view that they are not acting as a
         "group" for purposes of Section 13(d) under the 1934 Act. Indirect
         "beneficial ownership" is attached to UMBF solely because of its
         parent control relationship to Scout and UMB.

     (b) Percentage of Class

         UMB has beneficial ownership of 3.90% of the outstanding common stock
         as a fiduciary. Scout has beneficial ownership of 2.77% of the
         outstanding common stock. UMBF has no direct beneficial ownership of
         shares

         (i)   Sole Power to vote or direct the vote:

               UMB has sole power to vote 297,435 shares. Scout has the power
               to vote 216,000 shares under an investment advisory agreement
               with the





               UMB Scout Small Cap Fund.  UMBF does not have the power to
               vote any shares.

         (ii)  Shared power to vote or to direct the vote:

               UMB has shared power to vote 500 shares. UMBF and Scout do not
               have the shared power to vote any shares.

         (iii) Sole Power to dispose or direct the disposition:

               UMB has the sole power to direct the disposition of 264,135
               shares. Scout has the sole power to direct the disposition of
               216,000 shares under an investment advisory agreement with the
               UMB Scout Small Cap Fund. UMBF does not have the sole power to
               dispose or direct the disposition of any shares.

         (iii) Shared power to dispose or direct the disposition:

               UMB has the shared power to direct the disposition of 12,900
