- -----------
(1)  Considered "cheap stock" and treated as outstanding since January 1, 1995.
(2)  The treasury stock method was not used for the shares issued to settle the
     long-term incentive plan liability and the compensatory portion of the
     stock options granted because the related special compensation charges have
     been/will be excluded from pro forma net income and, therefore, were not
     assumed to be proceeds.
(3)  Computed using IPO value per share of $16.00 on 237,897 stock options.
(4)  Computed using the average closing value per share for the three months
     ended September 28, 1996.
(5)  Computed using the average closing value per share for the nine months
     ended September 28, 1996.
