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.
