(1)   For the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, the
      incremental shares from assumed conversions are not included in computing
      the diluted share amounts because their effect would be antidilutive since
      an increase in the number of shares would reduce the amount of loss per
      share. Therefore, basic and diluted EPS figures are the same amount.
