(1) For the three month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, and the six month
    period ended June 30, 1995, outstanding stock options and warrants issuable
    under various stock option plans, warrant agreements, and the employee stock
    purchase plan (as disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial
    statements incorporated by reference in the Companys annual report on Form
    10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994) are converted to common
    equivalent shares by the treasury stock method using the average market
    price during the period for the Company's shares.  For the six month period
    ended June 30, 1994, such stock options, warrants, and shares issuable under
    the employee stock purchase plan are not included in the computation due to
    their anti-dilutive nature.
(2) Outstanding stock options and warrants issuable under various stock option
    plans, warrant agreements, and the employee stock purchase plan are
    converted to common equivalent shares by the treasury stock method using the
    higher of the average market price during the period or the market price at
    the end of the period for the Companys shares.  For the six months ended
    June 30 1994, such stock options, warrants, and shares issuable under the
    employee stock purchase plan are not included in the computation due to
    their anti-dilutive nature.
