The Offer is being made to all holders of Shares, including officers, directors and affiliates of the Company. The "Modified Dutch Auction" self-tender offer which commenced on October 20, 1998, expired at 5:00 p.m., Wyoming Time, December 7, 1998. Based on a final count, 313,000 shares tendered will be purchased at a price of $14.00 per share (the "Purchase Price"). This represents approximately 26.7% of the common shares outstanding. Odd lots tendered at or below the Purchase Price totaling 170 Shares will be purchased in their entirety. The remaining 312,830 Shares will be purchased on a 91.75 percent pro rata basis from shareholders who tendered a total of 341,143 shares to the Company at or below the Purchase Price. In addition, it is expected that the Company will purchase all Shares validly tendered by any shareholder who tendered all Shares owned, beneficially or of record, at or below the Purchase Price and who, as a result of proration, would then own, beneficially, an aggregate of fewer than 100 Shares. This represents 1,125 additional Shares. All Shares not purchased will be returned to tendering shareholders as promptly as practicable. 2 SIGNATURE After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
