                 Jones-Hamilton Co. provides a Plan for eligible employees in order to assist in planning
                 for their retirement. For information regarding eligibility, contributions, benefits, and

                 ESOP Overview

                                                                      st

                 For each Plan Year (January 1  – December 31 ), Jones-Hamilton Co. may contribute
                 to the ESOP cash or shares of common stock of Jones-Hamilton Co. ("Company
                 Stock") as a contribution to eligible participants.  ESOP contributions are credited to
                 participant account’s based on eligible compensation.  Your ESOP benefit is provided at
                 no cost to you.  Jones-Hamilton Co. makes all contributions to the Plan, and you are
                 not taxed on your ESOP benefit until you receive a distribution.

                 What Is the Purpose of the ESOP?

                 Jones-Hamilton Co. has adopted the ESOP so you, the employee, can share in the
                 value and the growth of Jones-Hamilton Co. and build up an ownership interest.
                 The benefits you get from the ESOP will depend, to a great extent, on the Jones-
                 Hamilton Co. profitability and the length of your service with Jones-Hamilton Co.  The
                 value of these benefits will depend on the amount Jones-Hamilton Co. contributes each
                 year to the ESOP, any increase (or decrease) in the value of Company Stock, and the
                 dividends paid on this stock during your participation in the ESOP.  The longer you
                 remain with Jones-Hamilton Co., the greater your interest in the ESOP will generally
                 be.


                 401(k) PLAN

                 Jones-Hamilton Co. also offers a 401(k) Plan that allows you to save for retirement
                 and diversify your retirement assets.  Eligible employees are able to defer eligible
                 earnings, subject to IRS limitations, into the 401(k) Plan on a pre-tax or after-tax
                 basis.  In addition, Jones-Hamilton Co. may contribute to the 401(k) Plan pre-tax
                 contributions to eligible employees.  Your money can grow tax-free and can be
                 invested in stock, mutual funds and other investments, per your election.  The
                 performance of your 401(k) Plan is based upon the underlying assets.  This Plan allows
