Earnings  per share have been  computed  based on the  treasury  stock method in
using average market price for the common stock equivalents.

The Company  accounts for the shares  acquired by the Employee  Stock  Ownership
Plan ("ESOP") in accordance with Statement of Position 93-6;  shares  controlled
by the ESOP are not considered in the weighted average shares  outstanding until
the shares are committed for allocation.
