         EXHIBIT (11.1)----STATEMENT RE: COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share computations assumes the exercise of stock warrants and
options to purchase shares of common stock. The shares assumed exercised are
based on the weighted average number of warrants and options outstanding during
the period. Under the treasury stock method of computing earnings per share, the
number of shares of treasury stock assumed repurchased is limited to 20% of
common stock outstanding, with the remaining shares assumed to be newly issued
and with the excess proceeds assumed to have reduced long-term borrowings
outstanding for the periods.
