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 six month periods ended June 30, 1999, the Company
paid dividends on it's outstanding convertible preferred convertible stock.

Because the impact of these  preferred  dividends and assumed  conversion of the
preferred  stock into common  shares was  anti-dilutive,  the  weighted  average
number of shares  resulting from this "as-if"  conversion have not been included
in the weighted average share calculation.

The following tables  represents the  reconciliation  of weighted average shares
for purposes of calculating  basic and diluted  earnings per share for the three
and six month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998.

Weighted-average  shares for the three months ended June 30, 1999 is  calculated
as follows:
