<FN>

  Primary earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted
  average common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.
  Fully diluted earnings per share have been calculated assuming the conversion
  of the subordinated debentures and the elimination of the associated interest
  expense, net of tax.  For the quarters ended June 30, 1994 and 1993, the
  interest elimination was $.73 million and $.78 million, respectively.  For
  the six months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993, the interest elimination was
  $1.46 million and $1.28 million, respectively.
