        <footnote id="F1">The previously filed Form 3 incorrectly stated the number of shares beneficially owned due to the calculation of fractional shares in an exchange due to merger.  Fulton Financial Corporation acquired First Washington FinancialCorp on December 31, 2004.  Each share of First Washington FinancialCorp common stock was converted into 1.35 shares of Fulton Financial Corporation common stock with fractional shares paid in cash.</footnote>
