Exhibit 11.1 Statement regarding computation of earnings per share. The Company computes earnings per share in accordance with FAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 and for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997, the Company was required to pay dividends on its outstanding convertible stock. Such preferred stock was converted into common stock on June 30, 1997. The preferred dividend requirements for the periods in which the preferred stock was outstanding have been added to the loss from continuing operations for each period to arrive at net income available to common stockholders in calculating basic earnings per share. The Company has stock options and warrants outstanding which were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 and for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 because to do so would have been anti-dilutive for periods presented. Such options and warrants were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three month period ended September 30, 1997. Computations of basic and diluted earnings per share are set forth below.
