(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 1 million in 2005, 38 million in 2004 and 66 million in 2003
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).
