(a)   On July 26, 1993, the outstanding shares of the Pittston Company's common
      stock were redesignated as Pittston Services Group common stock on a
      share-for-share and a second class of stock, designated as Pittston
      Minerals Group common stock ("Minerals Stock") was distributed on a basis
      of one-fifth of one share of Minerals Stock for each share of the
      Pittston Company's common stock.  Accordingly, all common share, stock
      options and per share data prior to the redesignation has been restated
      to reflect the new equity structure of the Pittston Company.

(b)   For 1993 and 1991, the effect of stock options are excluded from the
      computations because they are antidilutive, whereby their inclusion
      results in a lower loss per common share.

PRIMARY EARNINGS PER SHARE:
Primary earnings per share can be computed from the information on the face of
the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
