NOTE:    The difference between net loss used for primary and fully diluted 
         earnings per share calculations for the year ended 1994 is a result 
         of the assumption that all financial performance objectives have 
         been achieved, the maximum number of Performance Shares have been 
         issued, and the maximum amount of 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.
