(1)      The number of shares outstanding used in the computation of earnings
         per share prior to July 1, 1996 was one-tenth of the average 3M shares
         outstanding. For both primary and fully diluted earnings, assumed
         conversion of options was not made in those periods with a loss as the
         conversion would be anti-dilutive.
