(2) 1992 fully diluted earnings per share computation excludes the effect of
convertible securities which were anti-dilutive.

would have incurred if the Series B ESOP convertible preferred stock had
been converted at the beginning of the period presented.
(4) Common shares outstanding have been computed by adding the monthly average
(beginning of the month plus end of the month divided by 2), dividing the
aggregate by 12 and adjusting this total for dilutive stock options using
the treasury stock method.
