(1) Certain options to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company that  have
an  excercise price  below the average market price of common stock for the  six
months  ended  March 31, 1998,  had a dilutive effect on earnings per share  and
are therefore included on a weighted average basis in the calculation of diluted
earnings per share.  These potential common shares would be antidilutive in  the
three  months  ended  March 31, 1998  due  to the net loss in the period and are
therefore excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings  per  share in  that
period. Average market price has been computed using the weighted average market
price of shares traded in the six months ended March 31, 1998.

(2) Certain convertible  debentures  of  the  Company,  when  calculated  on  an
"if-converted" basis, would be antidilutive for the three and six  months  ended
March  31, 1998 and are  therefore excluded  from  the  calculation  of  diluted
earnings per share.
