The provisions of SFAS No. 128 are effective for earnings per share calculations for periods ending after December 15, 1997. At that time, the Company will be required to change the method currently used to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior periods. If the Company had adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 128, the results would have been as follows: Three Months Nine Months Ended September 30, Ended September 30, ------------------- ------------------- 1997 1996 1997 1996 ---- ---- ---- ---- Earnings per common share - basic $.18 $.20 $.60 $.59 Earnings per common share - diluted $.18 $.13 $.59 $.38
