* Reclassified to conform to 1996 presentation related to the transfer of the
Rome sawmill from the corrugated container operation to the Building
Products Group.

(a) The annual capacity of the box plants is not given because such annual
capacity is a function of the product mix, customer requirements, and the
type of converting equipment installed and operating at each plant, each of
which varies from time to time. The rated annual capacity of Inland's
corrugating medium mills is approximately 600,000 tons per year. The rated
annual capacity of the linerboard mills is approximately 2.1 million tons
per year.

(b) The annual capacity of the four paper machines in operation at the
paperboard and pulp mill is approximately 725,000 tons, which excludes the
capacity of a cylinder machine at the mill that the Company decided to shut
down late in 1993 due to market conditions for the grade it produced. Such
capacity may vary to some degree depending on product mix. The annual
capacity of Temple-Inland Food Service Corporation is not given because such
annual capacity is a function of the product mix, customer requirements, and
the type of converting equipment installed and operating at each plant, all
of which vary from time to time.

(c) The annual capacity for the particleboard plants includes the rated annual
capacity of the Hope, Arkansas, plant, which began operations late in 1995
but did not reach full production until the fourth quarter of 1996. The
capacity figures for 1996 reflect the increase at the Monroeville, Alabama,
plant that resulted from a renovation of this facility during the year.

NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS:

The business of the Company is divided among three groups: (1) the Paper
Group, which consists of the corrugated container and bleached paperboard
operations, (2) the Building Products Group, and (3) the Financial Services
Group. In the year ended December 28, 1996, the Paper Group, Building Products
Group, and Financial Services Group provided 60 percent, 16 percent, and 24
percent, respectively, of the total consolidated net revenues of the Company.

Paper Group. During 1996, the Company consolidated the management of its
paper operations under the leadership of William B. Howes, Executive Vice
President of the Company. This group is now comprised of two operations, the
results from which had previously been reported separately as corrugated
container and bleached paperboard.

4
6

(i) Corrugated Container. The corrugated container operation of the Company
manufactures containerboard that it converts into a complete line of corrugated
boxes and containers. Approximately 83 percent of the containerboard produced by
Inland in 1996 was converted into corrugated containers at its box plants. The
Company's nationwide network of box plants produces a wide range of products
from commodity brown boxes to intricate die cut containers that can be printed
with multi-color graphics. Even though the corrugated box business is
characterized by commodity pricing, each order for each customer is a custom
order. Inland's corrugated boxes are sold to a variety of customers in the food,
paper, glass containers, chemical, appliance, and plastics industries, among
others. As of December 28, 1996, about 46 percent of the Company's box shipments
were sold directly for use in the food industry, including beverage containers.

Following an acquisition in 1994, the Company also manufactures
litho-laminate corrugated packaging and high graphics folding cartons. Other
products manufactured by the Company include bulk containers constructed of
multi-wall corrugated board for extra strength, which are used for bulk
shipments of various materials, paper sealing tape, and other tape specialties.

In the corrugated container operation, the Company services about 6,800
customers with approximately 11,000 shipping destinations. The largest single
customer accounted for approximately 4 percent and the 10 largest customers
accounted for approximately 28 percent of the 1996 corrugated container
revenues. Costs of freight and customer service requirements necessitate the
location of box plants relatively close to customers. Each plant tends to
service a market within a 150-mile radius of the plant.

Sales of corrugated shipping containers closely track changing population
patterns and other demographics. Historically, there has been a correlation
between the demand for containers and containerboard and real growth in the
United States gross domestic product.

(ii) Bleached Paperboard. The bleached paperboard operation of the Company
produces various grades and weights of coated and uncoated bleached paperboard,
bleached linerboard, and bleached bristols. These materials are used by other
paper companies and by manufacturers that buy paper in roll lots and convert it
into such items as paper cups, plates, file folders, folding cartons, paperback
book covers, and various other packaging and convenience products.

Bleached paperboard products are sold to a large number of customers. Sales
to the largest customer of this operation, with whom the Company has a
long-standing contractual relationship, accounted for approximately 14 percent
of bleached paperboard sales in 1996. This level of sales is consistent with
sales to this customer over the past several years. Although the loss of this
customer could have a material adverse effect on this operation, it would not
have a material adverse effect on the Company taken as a whole. The 10 largest
customers accounted for approximately 50 percent of bleached paperboard sales in
1996. During 1996, sales were made to customers in 43 states, Mexico, and Puerto
Rico, as well as to independent distributors through which this operation's
products were exported to Asia, Japan, Central America, and South America.
Contracts specifying annual tonnage quantities are maintained with several major
customers.

Demand for bleached paperboard products generally correlates with real
growth in the United States gross domestic product, but is also affected by
inventory levels maintained by paperboard converters as well as a number of
other factors, including changes in industry production capacity and the
strength of international markets.

Temple-Inland Food Service Corporation ("Food Service") is an integrated
paper converter formed to manufacture and market paper containers and products
primarily for the food service industry. Products manufactured include paper
plates and bowls, clamshells, carrying trays and boxes, nested food trays, fry
cartons, and pails. These products are sold to the fast food industry, retail
consumer stores, and restaurants and cafeterias for use in food service.

Building Products Group. The Building Products Group produces a wide
variety of building products, such as lumber, plywood, particleboard, gypsum
wallboard, hardboard siding, and fiberboard sheathing.

Sales of building products are concentrated in the southeastern and
southwestern United States. No significant sales are generated under long-term
contracts. Sales of most of these products are made by account

5
7

managers and representatives to distributors, retailers, and O.E.M. (original
equipment manufacturer) accounts. Almost 75 percent of particleboard sales are
to commercial fabricators, such as manufacturers of cabinets and furniture. The
10 largest customers accounted for approximately 21 percent of the Building
Products Group's 1996 sales.

The building products business is heavily dependent upon the level of
residential housing expenditures, including the repair and remodeling market,
which is largely dependent upon the availability and cost of mortgage funds.

During the year, the Company completed an upgrade to its particleboard mill
in Monroeville, Alabama. Similar renovation projects are scheduled at the
Diboll, Texas, and Thomson, Georgia, particleboard plants during 1997. During
the year, this group entered into three joint ventures, in each of which it owns
a 50 percent interest. One of these joint ventures will produce medium density
fiberboard at a facility under construction in Arkansas. Another of these joint
ventures will produce cement fiberboard at a plant under construction in Texas.
The third joint venture was the acquisition of an existing facility for the
production of gypsum wallboard and a related quarry.

Financial Services Group. The Financial Services Group operates a savings
bank and engages in mortgage banking, real estate development, and insurance
activities.

(i) Savings Bank. Guaranty is a federally-chartered stock savings bank
operated by the Company through its financial services subsidiaries. Guaranty
conducts its business through 113 banking centers located primarily in the
eastern third of Texas, including Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and Austin. The
primary activities of Guaranty include attracting savings deposits from the
general public, investing in loans secured by mortgages on residential real
estate, lending for the construction of real estate projects, and providing a
variety of loan products to consumers and businesses.

Guaranty derives its income primarily from interest earned on real estate
mortgages, commercial and business loans, consumer loans, and investment
securities, as well as fees received in connection with loans and deposit
services. Its major expense is the interest it pays on consumer deposits and
other borrowings. The operations of Guaranty, like those of other savings
institutions, are significantly influenced by general economic conditions, by
the monetary, fiscal, and regulatory policies of the federal government, and by
the policies of financial institution regulatory authorities. Deposit flows and
costs of funds are influenced by interest rates on competing investments and
general market rates of interest. Lending activities are affected by the demand
for mortgage financing and for other types of loans as well as market
conditions. Guaranty primarily seeks assets with interest rates that adjust
periodically rather than assets with long-term fixed rates.

During the fourth quarter of 1996, the Company entered into an Agreement
and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with California Financial Holding
Company ("CFHC"), the parent corporation of Stockton Savings Bank, F.S.B.
("Stockton") headquartered in Stockton, California, by which CFHC will be merged
into the Company. The transaction, which is subject to approval by the CFHC
stockholders and by regulatory authorities, is expected to close during the
second quarter of 1997. Terms of the Merger Agreement provide for CFHC
stockholders to receive a combination of common stock of the Company and cash
valued at $30 per share, for a total consideration of approximately $150
million. Subject to certain limitations, each CFHC stockholder will be given the
election to have the consideration for their shares paid in Company common
stock, cash or a combination of the two. The Company, however, will issue no
more than 1,692,000 shares of common stock in the transaction. The Merger
Agreement permits CFHC to terminate the transaction if the price of the common
stock of the Company, as calculated, is below $40 per share, provided that the
number of shares of Company common stock issued in the transaction has not been
increased. When the transaction is completed, the operations of Stockton, which
has approximately $1.3 billion in assets and operates 23 branches in the Central
Valley of California, will be merged into Guaranty. In connection with execution
of the Merger Agreement, CFHC granted the Company an option, exercisable under
certain circumstances, to purchase 940,095 shares of CFHC common stock,
representing approximately 19.9 percent of the shares presently outstanding, at
a price of $27.25 per share.

During 1996, Congress adopted legislation to recapitalize the Savings
Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") and merge the SAIF with the Bank Insurance
Fund. This legislation imposed a one-time special assessment on SAIF members
equal to 67.5 basis points of insured deposits, or approximately $44 million in
the case of Guaranty. Under this legislation, Guaranty will not currently be
required to pay any deposit insurance premiums, but will be required to pay
approximately 6.5 basis points on insured deposits to fund certain Financial
Corporation (FICO) bond obligations. Based on the current level of Guaranty's
deposits, this legislation will ultimately reduce future assessments by
approximately $11 million per year.

The House and Senate are also discussing additional legislative proposals,
including changes to tax laws, related to the thrift industry. At this time, the
Company is not able to predict if any of these proposals will be adopted or, if
adopted, the ultimate impact they might have on the Company.

In addition to other minimum capital standards, regulations of the Office
of Thrift Supervision of the Department of the Treasury (the "OTS") currently
require savings institutions to maintain a leverage capital ratio of at least 3
percent of adjusted total assets. Guaranty, however, has agreed with the OTS
that at the time it makes any future acquisitions, it will maintain a leverage
capital ratio of at least 4 percent of adjusted total assets, and in order to
obtain the lowest level of FDIC insurance premiums, Guaranty must meet a
leverage capital ratio of at least 5 percent of adjusted total assets. At
December 31, 1996, Guaranty had a leverage capital ratio of 5.52 percent of
adjusted total assets. For additional information regarding regulatory capital
requirements, see Note L to Financial Services Group Summarized Financial
Statements on page 49 of the Company's 1996 Annual Report to Shareholders, which
is incorporated herein by reference.

Guaranty must meet or exceed certain tests to continue its current
activities and to take certain deductions under the Internal Revenue Code. At
December 31, 1996, Guaranty met or exceeded these tests and intends to continue
meeting or exceeding these tests.

(ii) Mortgage Banking. Temple-Inland Mortgage, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Guaranty, headquartered in Austin, Texas, originates, warehouses, and services
FHA, VA, and conventional mortgage loans primarily on single family residential
property. Temple-Inland Mortgage originates mortgage loans for sale into the
secondary market. It typically retains the servicing rights on these loans, but
periodically sells some portion of its servicing to third parties. At December
31, 1996, Temple-Inland Mortgage was servicing $17.9 billion in mortgage loans,
including loans serviced for affiliates and approximately $2.4 billion in
mortgages serviced for a third party. Temple-Inland Mortgage produced $1.9
billion in mortgage loans during 1996 compared with $1.2 billion during 1995.

(iii) Real Estate Development and Income Properties. Subsidiaries of
Financial Services are involved in the development of 24 residential
subdivisions in Texas, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Missouri, and
Tennessee. The real estate group of the Company also owns 10 commercial
properties.

(iv) Insurance. Subsidiaries of Financial Services are engaged in the
brokerage of property, casualty, life, and group health insurance products. One
of these subsidiaries is an insurance agency that administers the marketing and
distribution of several mortgage-related personal life, accident, and health
insurance programs. This agency also acts as the risk management department of
the Company. An affiliate of the agency sells annuities through banks and
savings banks, including Guaranty.

(v) Statistical Disclosures. The following tables present various
statistical and financial information for Financial Services.

The amount charged to operations and the related balance in the allowance
for loan losses are based on periodic evaluations of the loan portfolio by
management. These evaluations consider several factors, including without
limitation, past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the
portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay,
estimated value of any underlying collateral, and current economic conditions.

Deposits. The average amount of deposits and the average rates paid on
noninterest-bearing demand deposits, interest-bearing demand deposits, savings
deposits, and time deposits are presented on the schedule of average balance
sheets and analysis of net interest spread of Financial Services on page 8

RAW MATERIALS

The Company's main resource is timber, with approximately 2.2 million acres
of timberland located in Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, and Georgia. In 1996, wood
fiber required for the Company's paper and wood products operations was produced
from these lands and as a by-product of its solid wood operations to the extent
shown on the following chart:

WOOD FIBER REQUIREMENTS



PERCENTAGE
SUPPLIED
RAW MATERIALS INTERNALLY
------------- ----------

Sawtimber................................................... 58.6%
Pine Pulpwood............................................... 56.0%
Hardwood Pulpwood........................................... 26.2%


The balance of the wood fiber required for these operations was purchased
from numerous landowners and other lumber companies. In an effort to meet its
projected need for hardwood fiber, the Company operates a eucalyptus plantation
in Mexico. The Company expects to begin receiving fiber from this project in
four to six years. During 1996, the bleached paperboard mill in Evadale, Texas,
purchased small amounts of recycled pulp. Now that the expansion program is
completed, this mill may purchase increasing amounts of recycled fiber.

Linerboard and corrugating medium are the principal materials used by
Inland to make corrugated boxes. The mills at Rome, Georgia, and Orange, Texas,
are solely linerboard mills. The Ontario, California, and Maysville, Kentucky,
mills are traditionally linerboard mills, but can be used to manufacture
corrugating medium. The Newport, Indiana, Newark, California, and New
Johnsonville, Tennessee, mills are solely corrugating medium mills. The
principal raw material used by the Rome, Georgia, and Orange, Texas, mills is
virgin fiber. The Ontario, California; Newark, California; Newport, Indiana; and
Maysville, Kentucky, mills use only old corrugated containers ("OCC"). The mill
at New Johnsonville, Tennessee, uses a combination of virgin fiber and OCC. In
1996, OCC represented approximately 43% of the total fiber needs of the
Company's containerboard operations. The price of OCC may exhibit volatility due
to normal supply and demand fluctuations for the raw material and for the
finished product. OCC is purchased by the Company and its competitors on the
open market from numerous suppliers. Price fluctuations reflect the
competitiveness of these markets. The Company's historical grade patterns
produce more linerboard and less corrugating medium than is converted at the
Company's box plants. The deficit of corrugating medium is obtained through open
market purchases and/or trades and the excess linerboard is sold in the open
market.

Temple-Inland FPC obtains the gypsum for its wallboard operations from its
own quarry near Fletcher, Oklahoma, and from one outside source through a
long-term purchase contract.

In the opinion of management, the sources outlined above will be sufficient
to supply the Company's raw material needs for the foreseeable future.

ENERGY

Energy requirements at the Company's manufacturing facilities are supplied
by electricity, steam, and a variety of fuels, including natural gas, fuel oil,
coal, and in some instances, waste products resulting from the manufacturing
process at the facility concerned. By utilizing these waste products, Inland was
able to generate approximately 13 percent of its energy requirements at its
mills in Rome, Georgia, and Orange, Texas, and Temple-Inland FPC generated
approximately 48 percent of its energy requirements during 1996. The Ontario,
California, mill includes a cogeneration plant that sells excess electricity
generated to an electric utility. In most cases where natural gas or fuel oil is
used as a fuel, the Company's facilities possess a dual capacity enabling them
to use either of the fuels as a source of energy.

The natural gas needed to run the Company's natural gas fueled power
boilers is acquired pursuant to multiple gas contracts that provide for the
purchase of gas on an interruptible basis at favorable rates.

EMPLOYEES

At December 28, 1996, the Company and its subsidiaries had approximately
15,600 employees. Approximately 5,200 of these employees are covered by
collective bargaining agreements. These agreements generally run for a term of
three to six years and have varying expiration dates. The following table
summarizes certain information about the collective bargaining agreements that
cover a significant number of employees:

The Company has additional collective bargaining agreements with the
employees of various of its other box plants, mills, and building products
plants. These agreements each cover a relatively small number of employees and
are negotiated on an individual basis at each such facility.

The Company considers its relations with its employees to be good.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

The operations conducted by the subsidiaries of the Company are subject to
federal, state, and local provisions regulating the discharge of materials into
the environment and otherwise related to the protection of the environment.
Compliance with these provisions, primarily the Federal Clean Air Act, Clean
Water Act, Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act
of 1980, as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986
("CERCLA"), and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA"), has required
the Company to invest substantial funds to modify facilities to assure
compliance with applicable environmental regulations. Capital expenditures
directly related to environmental compliance totaled approximately $12 million
during 1996. This amount does not include capital expenditures for environmental
control facilities made as part of major mill modernizations and expansions or
capital expenditures made for another purpose that have an indirect benefit on
environmental compliance.

15
17

The Company is committed to protecting the health and welfare of its
employees, the public, and the environment and strives to maintain compliance
with all state and federal environmental regulations in a manner that is also
cost effective. In the construction of new facilities and the modernization of
existing facilities, such as the modernization at the mill in Evadale, Texas,
the Company has used state of the art technology for its air and water
emissions. These forward-looking programs are intended to minimize the impact
that changing regulations have on capital expenditures for environmental
compliance.

Future expenditures for environmental control facilities will depend on new
laws and regulations and other changes in legal requirements and agency
interpretations thereof, as well as technological advances. The Company expects
the trend toward more stringent environmental regulation to continue for the
foreseeable future. The trend in interpretation and application of existing
regulations by regulatory authorities also appears to be toward increasing
stringency particularly under RCRA with respect to certain solid wastes
generated at kraft mills. Given these uncertainties, the Company currently
estimates that capital expenditures for environmental purposes during the period
1997 through 1999 will average approximately $15 million each year. The
estimated expenditures could be significantly higher if more stringent laws and
regulations are implemented.

On December 17, 1993, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA")
published extensive proposed regulations governing air and water emissions from
the pulp and paper industry (the "Cluster Rules"). The Company anticipates that
these proposed regulations will change before becoming effective. Due to the
uncertainty of the final form of the Cluster Rules, it is impossible to predict
the exact capital expenditures necessary for compliance. Therefore, the
estimated expenditures disclosed above do not include expenditures that may be
mandated by the Cluster Rules. Based upon its interpretation of the Cluster
Rules as currently proposed, the Company estimates that compliance with these
rules may require modifications at several facilities. Some of these
modifications can be included in modernization projects that will provide
economic benefits to the Company. The extent of such benefits can increase these
investments, but currently these expenditures are not expected to exceed $200
million over the next five years, and could be less if the Company's recovery
boilers meet the new standards.

RCRA establishes a regulatory program for the treatment, storage,
transportation, and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes. Under RCRA,
subsidiaries of the Company have prepared hazardous waste closure plans to
address land disposal units containing hazardous wastes formerly managed at
various facilities. These closure plans are in various states of implementation,
with most sites simply awaiting state certification. The Company believes that
the costs associated with these plans will not have a material impact on the
earnings or competitive position of the Company.

In addition to these capital expenditures, the Company incurs significant
ongoing maintenance costs to maintain compliance with environmental regulation.
The Company, however, does not believe that these capital expenditures or
maintenance costs will have a material adverse effect on the earnings of the
Company. In addition, expenditures for environmental compliance should not have
a material impact on the competitive position of the Company, because other
companies are also subject to these regulations.

COMPETITION

All of the industries in which the Company operates are highly competitive.
The level of competition in a given product or market may be affected by the
strength of the dollar and other market factors including geographic location,
general economic conditions, and the operating efficiencies of competitors.
Factors influencing the Company's competitive position vary depending on the
characteristics of the products involved. The primary factors are product
quality and performance, price, service, and product innovation.

The corrugated packaging industry is highly competitive with almost 1,500
box plants in the United States. Box plants operated by Inland and its
subsidiaries accounted for approximately 8.3 percent of total industry shipments
during 1996. Although corrugated packaging is dominant in the national
distribution process, Inland's products also compete with various other
packaging materials, including products made of paper, plastics, wood, and
metals.

16
18

Bleached paperboard produced by the Paper Group has a variety of ultimate
uses and, therefore, serves diversified markets. The Company competes with
larger paper producers with greater resources.

In the building materials markets, the Building Products Group competes
with many companies that are substantially larger and have greater resources in
the manufacturing of commodity building materials.

Financial Services competes with commercial banks, savings and loan
associations, mortgage bankers, and other lenders in its mortgage banking and
consumer savings bank activities, and with real estate investment and management
companies in its development activities. Mortgage banking, real estate
development, and consumer savings banks are highly competitive businesses, and a
number of entities with which the Company competes have greater resources.

* Includes approximately 243,000 acres of leased land.

In the opinion of management, the Company's plants, mills, and
manufacturing facilities are suitable for their purpose and adequate for the
Company's business.

corporate offices are headquartered. This includes approximately 76,000 square
feet of space in Diboll, Texas, approximately 130,000 square feet in
Indianapolis, Indiana, and 270,000 square feet of office space in Austin, Texas.

The Company also owns 361,000 mineral acres in Texas and Louisiana. Revenue
from lease and production activities on these acres totaled $8.3 million in
1996. Additionally, the Company owns 395,830 mineral acres in Alabama and
Georgia, which produced no lease or production revenue in 1996.

At year end 1996, property and equipment having a net book value of
approximately $54.3 million were subject to liens in connection with $72.5
million of debt.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

General:

The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various legal proceedings
that have arisen from time to time in the ordinary course of business. In the
opinion of the Company's management, such proceedings will not be material to
the business or financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Environmental:

The facilities of the Company are periodically inspected by environmental
authorities and must file periodic reports on the discharge of pollutants with
these authorities. Occasionally, one or more of these facilities have operated
in violation of applicable pollution control standards, which could subject the
facilities to fines or penalties in the future. Management believes that any
fines or penalties that may be imposed as a result of these violations will not
have a material adverse effect on the Company's earnings or competitive
position. The Company, however, has noticed an increase in the number and dollar
amount of fines and penalties imposed by environmental authorities. No assurance
can be given, therefore, that any fines levied against the Company in the future
for any such violations will not be material.

Subsidiaries of the Company are involved in regulatory enforcement actions
concerning the management of solid wastes at various facilities. These
proceedings are representative of a trend the Company has observed toward more
stringent application of RCRA regulations to solid wastes generated at kraft
mills. In July 1993, a subsidiary's facility in Rome, Georgia, experienced a
significant upset in its wastewater treatment process. This upset caused the
Georgia environmental agency to order a temporary cessation of production. The
Company's subsidiary has resolved its potential liability to the State of
Georgia by paying a $100,000 monetary penalty and agreeing to perform certain
work, but remains exposed to potential claims of the U.S. EPA and private
citizens. Management believes, however, that these matters will not result in
liability to an extent that would have a material adverse effect on the business
or financial condition of the Company.

Under CERCLA, liability for the cleanup of a Superfund site may be imposed
on waste generators, site owners and operators, and others regardless of fault
or the legality of the original waste disposal activity. While joint and several
liability is authorized under CERCLA, as a practical matter, the cost of cleanup
is generally allocated among the many waste generators. Subsidiaries of the
Company are parties to numerous proceedings relating to the cleanup of hazardous
waste sites under CERCLA and similar state laws. The subsidiaries have conducted
investigations of the sites and in certain instances believe that there is no
basis for liability and have so informed the governmental entities. The internal
investigations of the remaining sites reveal that the portion of the remediation
costs for these sites to be allocated to the Company should be relatively small
and will have no material impact on the Company. There can be no assurance that
subsidiaries of the Company will not be named as potentially responsible parties
at additional Superfund sites in the future or that the costs associated with
the remediation of those sites would not be material.

All litigation has an element of uncertainty and the final outcome of any
legal proceeding cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty. With these
limitations in mind, the Company presently believes that any ultimate liability
from the legal proceedings discussed herein would not have a material adverse
effect on the business or financial condition of the Company.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

The Company did not submit any matter to a vote of its shareholders during
the fourth quarter of its last fiscal year.
