         (99.1) Restatement of Selected Financial Data and Related Disclosures
                Due to the Adoption of SFAS 128, "Earnings Per Share"




                                                                    EXHIBIT 99.1

         Restatement of Selected Financial Data and Related Disclosures
              Due to the Adoption of SFAS 128, "Earnings Per Share"

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
128, "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS 128), which was effective for financial
statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997. Accordingly, the
tables below serve to replace the presentation of primary earnings per share as
reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K with a dual presentation of
basic and diluted earnings per share. For each of the five fiscal years in the
period ended September 30, 1997, diluted earnings per share from continuing
operations under SFAS 128 is the same amount as earnings per share from
continuing operations previously reported under prior accounting standards.

         Options to purchase 1,461,594 shares of common stock at $36.66 per
share to $59.99 per share were outstanding during fiscal 1997 but were not
included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options'
exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares
and, therefore, the effect would be antidilutive.

         The Company's Series BB conversion preferred stock is excluded from the
diluted calculation because the effect of adding 9,682,144 shares and deleting
the preferred dividends to reflect assumed conversion would be antidilutive. In
fiscal 1995, the Company's Series AA convertible preferred stock has been
excluded from the diluted calculation because the effect of adding 9,016,553
shares and deleting the preferred dividends relating to the Series AA
convertible preferred stock to reflect the assumed conversion is antidilutive in
that fiscal year.
