(12) Reconciliation of Basic and Diluted Per Share Data

Options to purchase 1,733,504 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $16.00 to $27.25 were outstanding but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options' exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares. The options, which expire on January 2, 2001, October 31, 2001, and July 31, 2004, were still outstanding at the end of fiscal year 1999.
