              COMPUTATION OF NET EARNINGS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK


Basic net earnings per common share is determined by dividing net earnings by
the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, unless the
result is anti-dilutive. Diluted net earnings per common share is determined by
dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
and common share equivalents outstanding, unless the result is anti-dilutive.
The following is a summary of the weighted average common shares outstanding and
common share equivalents:
