(a)	The dividend attributable to the company's Series D Convertible Preferred Stock held by the company's ESOP (employee stock ownership plan) is net of a tax benefit.
(b)	Because the computation of diluted loss per common share was antidilutive, diluted loss per common share reported for the three months ended June 30, 2002, and for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, was the same as basic loss per common share.
