(1)   Despite being included currently in diluted net earnings per common share,
      the actual conversion to common stock occurs pursuant to the repayment of
      the ESOP debt through 2021.

(2)   Approximately 38 million in 2004, 66 million in 2003 and 72 million in
      2002 of the Company's outstanding stock options were not included in the
      diluted net earnings per share calculation because to do so would have
      been antidilutive (i.e., the exercise price exceeded market value).
