At the end of the first quarter of 1997, the Company paid a special dividend totaling $13,412,000 to its Series CC Convertible Preferred Stock. As a result of the special dividend, the Company would not have to pay another dividend with respect to this stock until the quarter ended March 31, 1999. During the second quarter of 1997, the Series CC Convertible Preferred Stock converted into common stock of the Company. Accordingly, all of the $13,412,000 of dividends were treated in the second quarter of 1997 as an allocation of net income to the preferred shareholders in determining the allocation of net income to the common shareholders. (2) Such amounts are anti-dilutive and are not presented in the Company's consolidated financial statements. In addition, the Company has 7,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock which are convertible into shares of the Company's Common Stock subject to certain contingencies such as the passage of time and the attainment of certain earnings milestone by the Company. The assumption of such earnings and the pro forma conversion of the Class B Common Stock into Common Stock in the above computations would have resulted in an increase in the fully-diluted earnings per common share, and accordingly, is anti-dilutive.
