(A)- Common stock equivalents are not included in primary loss per share in
     the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 because they
     would be anti-dilutive.

(B)- Fully diluted loss per share is not used in the Three and Nine Months
     Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 because it is less than primary loss per
     share.
