(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 the cumulative  effect of a change
in accounting principle. Basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share
before the cumulative effect of a change in accounting  principle were $3.39 and
$3.24, respectively.
