STATEMENT OF COMPUTATION OF PER SHARE EARNINGS

         Earnings per share for each period was computed by dividing net income
for such period by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock and
common stock equivalents outstanding during such period. All share data have
been restated to reflect the 5% stock dividend paid June 18, 1998. (See Note 2
of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). Calculations reflect the
adoption of the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards ("FAS") No. 128,
"Earnings per Share" effective for periods ending after December 15, 1997.
