This calculation is submitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Under generally accepted accounting
principles this presentation would not be made because it is anti-dilutive.

 (a)  The weighted average number of common stock, common stock equivalents and
      converted shares outstanding is not the same as the balance on the primary
      earnings per share calculation as the market price at the close of the
      period was used in place of the average price in order to reflect maximum
      dilution.
