The six month calculation shown above (based on 1995 weighted average outstanding Class E shares for the period) requires an adjustment of ($0.01) due to the significant differences in the average number of shares outstanding in each quarter resulting from the Class E stock contribution to the U.S. hourly pension plan. 42
