(1)  Common stock equivalents represent  the dilutive effect
     of outstanding stock options for all periods presented.


  There  were no options to purchase shares of common  stock
which  were outstanding during the periods indicated  above,
but  excluded  from the computation of diluted earnings  per
share because the option purchase price was greater than the
average market price of the common shares.
