                                  EXHIBIT 99.1


       In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
128, "Earnings Per Share" (FAS 128). FAS 128 replaced the calculation of primary
and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share.
Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share excludes any
dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities. Diluted
earnings per share is very similar to the previously reported fully diluted
earnings per share. Earnings per share amounts for all periods have been
restated to conform to FAS 128 requirements.
