(a) After preferred dividend requirements.

(b) Per common share amounts for the quarters and year-to-date periods have been
calculated separately. Accordingly, quarterly amounts may not add to the
year-to-date amounts because of differences in the average common shares
outstanding during each period and, with regard to diluted per common share
amounts only, because of the inclusion of the effect of potentially dilutive
securities only in the periods in which such effect would have been dilutive.

(a) After preferred dividend requirements.

(b) Per common share amounts for the quarters and full year have been
calculated separately. Accordingly, quarterly amounts may not add to the annual
amounts because of differences in the average common shares outstanding during
each period and, with regard to diluted per common share amounts only, because
of the inclusion of the effect of potentially dilutive securities only in the
periods in which such effect would have been dilutive.
