 (1) This calculation is submitted in accordance with Regulation S-K item
     601 (b)(11), although it is contrary to APB Opinion No. 15 because it
     includes the conversion of all convertible securities, even though the
     conversion of certain of these securities produces an anti-dilutive effect
     on fully diluted earnings per share.
