(1) The "If-converted-method" was used in calculating common stock equivalents
      for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995.  Pursuant to the 
      "If-converted-method" of calculating EPS, net income as reported in the 
      Consolidated Statement of Income was adjusted to exclude interest expense
      relating to the Equity Contracts which are considered common stock 
      equivalents.

(2) The "treasury stock method" was employed in calculating the common stock
      equivalents for the three and six months ended June 30, 1994.  Under the 
      "treasury stock method", the common stock equivalents are generally lower
      than under the "if-converted method".
