(A)   For the first half of 1995 and second quarters of fiscal 1995 and 1996,
both primary and fully diluted earnings per share were calculated utilizing the
average shares outstanding plus common stock equivalents.  No consideration was
given to the assumed conversion of the zero coupon convertible debentures as
their assumed conversion would have an anti-dilutive effect.
