(a) This calculation is submitted in accordance with Regulation S-K, Item 601(b)(11) although not required by
    footnote 2 to paragraph 14 of APB Opinion No. 15 because it results in dilution of less than 3%.
(b) For the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, these items are anti-dilutive and thus are omitted from the
    calculation.
(c) The amount in 1995 represents the pro rata portion of the Series C preferred stock outstanding prior to their
    conversion effective March 10, 1995.
