Note -    All references to number of shares, share prices and per share amounts
          have been restated to reflect the stock split.

(A)   -   Since the per share amounts for the 1998 interim periods are
          antidilutive, the face of the statements of income reflects diluted
          per share amounts equal to the basic per share amounts.
