Note:  The difference between fully diluted and primary earnings per share is
immaterial.

 *  The assumed conversion of preference stocks and exercise of stock options
reflected by these adjustments has no effect on Class E or Class H common
stock earnings per share, because to the extent that shares of Class E or
Class H common stock deemed to be outstanding would increase, such increased
shares would also increase the numerator of the fraction used to determine
Available Separate Consolidated Net Income.
