(1) Represents net income  reduced for preferred  stock  dividends and increased
for costs  related  to the CAP Plan and a gain on the  redemption  of  preferred
stock.  For earnings per share,  the costs  related to the CAP Plan (net of tax)
are added back as the shares  related to the CAP Plan are  included  in weighted
average shares outstanding.

(2) Amount  reflects  earnings per share after change in  accounting  principle.
Basic  earnings  per share and diluted  earnings  per share before the change in
accounting principle were $2.38 and $2.28, respectively.
