                Statement Re: Computation Of Per Share Earnings
                     (In thousands, except per share data)


NOTE: Earnings per share presented in the first table is in accordance with
      Regulation S-K, Item 601(b)(11), while earnings per share on the Company's
      consolidated statements of earnings presented in the second table is in
      accordance with APB Opinion No. 15. Common equivalent shares outstanding
      for the fourth quarter of 1995 (912 equivalent shares) and the first
      quarter of 1994 (1,358 equivalent shares) are excluded from the earnings
      per share computation on the Company's consolidated statements of earnings
      for 1995 and 1994 as the effect on loss per share for such quarters would
      have been anti-dilutive.
