average common shares and share equivalents outstanding.  Common share 
equivalents were computed using the treasury stock method.  The average 
common stock market price for the period was used to determine the number of 
common share equivalents.

Fully diluted earnings per share has been computed in the same manner as 
primary earnings per share except that the higher of the average or end of 

                                      28



period common stock market price was used to determine the number of common 
share equivalents.
