(1) The assumed conversion of the Registrant's Convertible Subordinated
    Debentures and Convertible Preferred Stock for the twelve months
    ended December 31, 1993 would have an anti- dilutive effect for the
    computation of earnings per share; therefore conversion has not been
    assumed for these periods.

(2) Fully diluted net income per share for the twelve months ended
    December 31, 1993 is not presented as effects are anti-dilutive.
