Explanation of Responses:
Shares donated to a charitable trust.
Valley stock split five for four on May
17, 2002.
On October 30, 2002, the reporting person filed a Form 4, reporting the
disposition of 35,715 shares of common stock. However, the disposition was to a
trust in which the reporting person retains a pecuniary interest. Mr. Jones and
his wife will receive an annual payment from the trust based on the fair market
value of the trust. Therefore, the 35,715 shares should have continued to be
reflected on the original Form 4 as being held indirectly by the trust.
