The purpose of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 is to amend the Selling Stockholders table set forth pursuant to Item 7 of the Registration Statement to reflect the transfer of shares of Common Stock, $1.00 par value per share and related Preferred Share Purchase Rights (the "Shares") from individuals originally set forth on the table to individuals not originally owning any Shares. Effective as of December 31, 1996 Sue Jennings and Cynthia H. Love each transferred 275 Shares to Amber Joy Love and 275 Shares to Joshua Levi Love. Effective as of January 1, 1997 Sue Jennings and Cynthia H. Love each transferred 275 Shares to Amber Joy Love and 275 Shares to Joshua Levi Love. Amber Joy Love's Shares are beneficially owned by Cynthia H. Love as custodian for Amber Joy Love because Amber Joy Love is a minor. Sue Jennings originally was issued 11,925 Shares which were subject to the Registration Statement. Giving effect to the transfers described above that amount is reduced to 10,825 Shares. Cynthia H. Love originally was issued 27,747 Shares which were subject to the Registration Statement. The transfers described above do not change such amount, however, 1,100 of such Shares are held as custodian by Cynthia H. Love for Amber Joy Love. Joshua Levi Love owns 1,100 Shares after giving effect to the transfers described above. The following table sets forth the Selling Stockholders table as amended to give effect to the transfers described above. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
