  (2)
The share ownership of Mr. Correll includes 112,704 shares of Common Stock owned by him individually. The share ownership of Mr. Correll also includes 72,750 shares of Common Stock held by WCorrell, Limited Partnership, a limited partnership in which Mr. Correll serves as managing general partner and, as such, has sole voting and dispositive power over the shares held by it.
 
 
In addition, by virtue of his ownership of voting securities of FSF and FSBI, and in turn, their ownership of 100% of the outstanding membership interests of FSH, Mr. Correll may be deemed to beneficially own the total number of shares of Common Stock owned by FSH (as well as the shares owned by FSBI and FSF directly), and may be deemed to share with FSH (as well as FSBI and FSF) the right to vote and to dispose of such shares.  Mr. Correll owns approximately 81.5% of the outstanding membership interests of FSF; he owns directly approximately 41.34%, he has immediately exercisable options to purchase approximately 16.88%, companies he controls own approximately 10.48%, and he has the power to vote and an option to purchase but does not own approximately 2.41%, of the outstanding voting common equity of FSBI (consisting in part of shares entitled to one vote per share and in part of shares entitled to ten votes per share).  FSBI and FSF in turn own 99% and 1%, respectively, of the outstanding membership interests of FSH. Mr. Correll is also a manager of FSC and thereby may also be deemed to beneficially own the total number of shares of Common Stock owned by FSC, and may be deemed to share with it the right to vote and to dispose of such shares.  The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock held by these other Reporting Persons, as shown in the above table, is 2,311,858 shares.

As a result, FSBI may be deemed to share the voting and dispositive power over the shares held by FSH.
 
 
Page 16 of 26

 
  (4)
The share ownership of Ward F. Correll includes 6,997 shares of Common Stock owned by him individually. The share ownership of Mr. Correll also includes the shares of Common Stock held by CLS, all of the outstanding voting shares of which are owned by Ward F. Correll. As a result, Ward F. Correll may be deemed to share the voting and dispositive power over these shares.
 
  (5)
Mr. Correll, FSBI, FSF, FSH, FSI and FSC have agreed in principle to act together for the purpose of acquiring or holding equity securities of UTI. In addition, because of their relationships with these Reporting Persons, Ward F. Correll, CLS and WCorrell, Limited Partnership may also be deemed to be members of this group. Therefore, for purposes of this Schedule 13D, each may be deemed to have acquired beneficial ownership of the equity securities of UTI beneficially owned by each of the other Reporting Persons.
 
(c) There have been no transactions in the Common Stock of the Issuer effected within the past 60 days of the date of the filing of this amendment to the Schedule 13D of the Reporting Persons.
