For primary earnings per share computations, these purchases were assumed to have been made at the average market price of the common stock during the period or that part of the period for which the option was outstanding or shares assumed purchased through the ESPP. For fully diluted earnings per share computations, these purchases were assumed to have been made at the greater of the market price of the common stock at the end of the period or average market price of the common stock during the period or that part of the period for which the option was outstanding or shares assumed purchased through the ESPP. <F3>Represents the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of $10,000,000 aggregate principal 11.25% Senior Convertible Notes at a conversion price of $7.7757 per share. <F4>Net fully diluted earnings per share computes to $0.06 and $0.14 for three months and nine months ended September 29, 1995, respectively. Net fully diluted loss per share computes to $0.04 and $0.08 for three months and nine months ended September 30, 1994, respectively. Since these are anti-dilutive, fully diluted earnings (loss) per share is equivalent to primary earnings (loss) per share.
