 (1) This calculation is submitted in accordance with Regulation S-K item 601
     (b)(11), although it is contrary to APB Opinion No. 15 because it includes
     the conversion of all convertible securities, even though the conversion of
     certain of these securities produces an anti-dilutive effect on fully
     diluted earnings per share.
