NOTE:

(1)     The computation of fully diluted earnings per common share assumes that
        the average number of common shares outstanding during the period is
        increased by the conversion of securities having a dilutive effect, and
        that net income applicable to common stock is increased by dividends and
        after-tax interest on such securities.

(2)     Earnings per share was calculated for each three month and six month
        period on a stand-alone basis. On June 22, 1995, the company purchased
        all 7,894,737 shares of Common Stock that were issued on that date upon
        conversion of the $92.50 Cumulative Convertible Preference Stock, and on
        June 30, 1995, the company purchased an additional 2,000,000 shares of
        Common Stock. As a result of this reduction in the number of shares
        outstanding, the sum of the earnings per share for the first and second
        quarters of 1995 does not equal the earnings per share for the first six
        months of 1995.
