Notes:                                  
Primary earnings (loss) per share and fully diluted earnings
(loss) per 
share were substantially the same in all periods presented.      

                              
                         
The modified treasury stock method is used to calculate net
earnings per 
common share. The calculation uses the weighted average number of
common 
shares outstanding and, when fully dilutive, common equivalent
shares 
outstanding (warrants and stock options). Under this method, all
warrants 
and options are assumed to be exercised and up to 20% of common
shares 
outstanding are assumed to be repurchased. The net proceeds are
then 
assumed to be used to reduce debt and the resulting reduction in
interest 
expense is added back to net earnings for calculation of earnings
per share.
