                                       - 11 -                                         
          Klemm reached the conclusion, supported by his report, that the             
          fair market value of the shares, as of October 22, 1989, on a               
          minority interest basis, was $729,700, or $1.02 a share.3                   
               In reaching his conclusion, Klemm relied on numerous sources           
          of information, including, specifically, the following:                     
               1.  Financial statements for the corporation for 1986                  
               through 1989;                                                          
               2.  An equipment list and a depreciation schedule as of the            
               end of 1989;                                                           
               3.  Industry information gathered from various sources;                
               4.  Information on the U.S. economy gathered from                      
               various sources;                                                       
               5.  Information on comparative publicly traded companies               
               gathered from various sources; and                                     
               6.  An interview with Bernard V. Vonderschmitt, president of           
               the corporation.                                                       
               Klemm did not analyze financial statements for the                     
          corporation for the first 6 months of 1990.  He did consider                
          financial results for the first quarter of 1990, and he concluded           
          that revenue and pretax earning levels were “generally in line”             
          with such levels for the prior two quarters.  Klemm did not make            
          any forecasts of future growth or sales.                                    


          3    Klemm calculates a value for the shares of $729,700 by                 
          multiplying the number of shares (715,333) by $1.02.  The number            
          715,333 multiplied by $1.02 is $729,640, rounded to the nearest             
          dollar.
