facilities to New Jersey ($1.5 million).
(3)  Reflects the loss of interest income on $11,000,000
acquisition payment at 4% for five months ($183,000), offset
by the elimination of interest expense recorded on the books
of SDC ($185,000).
(4)  Reflects additional tax provision, at an effective tax
rate of 38%, on earnings realized from the acquisition
adjustments.
