Earnings  (loss) per share is computed by dividing  net  earnings  (loss),  less
preferred stock  dividends,  by the weighted  average number of shares of common
stock  and  common  stock  equivalents  (stock  options  and  warrants),  unless
anti-dilutive,  outstanding during the period. Fully diluted earnings (loss) per
share is not presented since the result is equivalent to primary earnings (loss)
per share.
