RESTATEMENT OF EARNINGS PER SHARE UNDER STATEMENT OF
FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NO. 128

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (SFAS 128). SFAS 128 replaced
the calculation of primary and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and
diluted earnings per share. Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings
per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible
securities. Diluted earnings per share is very similar to the previously
reported fully diluted earnings per share.


Restatement of selected financial data is for the quarter ended October 31, 1997
and the quarters in each of the years ended July 31, 1997 and July 31, 1996, and
the year ended September 30, 1993, ten months ended July 31, 1994 and the years
ended July 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997, and related disclosures as prescribed by
SFAS 128, "Earnings per Share" for the three years ended July 31, 1997.
