Earnings per common share for the three months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993 as
reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income were based on the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding for the respective periods.  For the
three months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993 primary and fully diluted earnings
per common share were not shown in the Consolidated Statements of Income as they
differ from the reported earnings per common share by less than three percent or
are anti-dilutive.
