NOTE:
*The three-month moving averages shown in this exhibit are computed by
summing the subject month, the two prior months, dividing by three and showing
the average at the end month of the period. A moving average is useful in
smoothing the volatile trade data so that trends can better be discerned.

*For information on data sources and methodology, see the information section
