Exhibit 11.1 Statement regarding computation of earnings per share.

We have stock  options and warrants  outstanding  which were not included in the
computation of fully diluted shares because to do so would be anti-dilutive.

The following tables  represents the  reconciliation  of weighted average shares
for purposes of calculating  basic and diluted  earnings per share for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.

Weighted-average  shares for the three months ended March 31, 2000 is calculated
as follows:
