None of the Reporting Persons or executive officers, directors or controlling persons of the General Partner have, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding of any violation with respect to such laws. Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration Information regarding the source and amount of funds used by the Reporting Persons in acquiring beneficial ownership of their Shares is set forth in Schedule 2 attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction Subsequent to Reporting Persons' July 9, 2001, Schedule 13D filing, the Reporting Persons have not acquired or disposed of any Shares of the Issuer. The Reporting Persons are filing this Schedule 13D as a result of the Issuer's recently announced transaction with MCB Financial Corporation resulting in an increase of the Issuer's outstanding shares.

Any such acquisitions or dispositions may be made, subject to applicable law, in open market or privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Except as described above, neither the Reporting Persons nor, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the persons named in Schedule 1 hereto have any plans or proposals which related to or would result in any of the actions or transactions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
