(A)  The per share computation in 1994 is based on the weighted average number
     of shares outstanding.  No effect has been given to shares issuable upon
     the exercise of options and warrants or conversion of preferred stock as
     such inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

(B)  The fully diluted per share computation would be the same as primary
     since the average market price was greater or immaterially different than
     the ending price for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995.

(C)  In December 1996 and 1995, and September 1994, the Board of Directors
     approved a Common Stock dividend of 306, 306, and 1,545 shares to the
     stockholders of record of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock as of
     December 15, 1996, 1995, and 1994 that was paid in January 1997, 1996, and
     1995, respectively.  The  market value of the Common Stock distributed was
     approximately $3,000, $4,000 and $3,000 in the years 1996, 1995, and 1994,
     respectively.

(D)  The assumed conversion of the preferred stock would have an immaterial
     effect (less than 1/10 of $.01) in all periods, and therefore that
     calculation has been omitted.

(E)  All share and per share amounts have been restated to reflect a
     one-for-five reverse split effected November 2, 1995.
