Computations of primary earnings per common share exclude the effect of common stock equivalents and shares contingently issuable for any period in which their inclusion would have the effect of increasing the earnings per common share amount otherwise computed. Fully diluted per common share amounts assume conversion of the convertible preferred stock, the elimination of the related preferred stock dividend requirement, and the issuance of common stock for all other potentially dilutive equivalent shares outstanding.
