Earnings (loss) per common share for the three and six months ended June 30,
1995 and 1994 as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income were based on
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the respective
periods.  Primary and fully diluted earnings (loss) per common share were not
shown in the Consolidated Statements of Income as they differ from the reported
earnings (loss) per common share by less than three percent or are anti-
dilutive.

<FN>
*    For the six-month period ended June 30, 1995, common share conversions
     applicable to common share options are anti-dilutive for the primary
     loss per common share calculation and therefore are not included in
     the calculation.
