Note:    The difference between net income used for primary and fully diluted
         earnings per share calculations for the three-month period ended March
         31, 1995, is a result of the assumption that all financial performance
         objectives have been achieved, the maximum number of the remaining
         Performance Shares have been issued, and the maximum amount of
         remaining cash contingently payable has been paid, with a significant
         portion of the cash and the value of the Performance Shares allocated
         to in-process research and development and charged to operations.
