Default Need () around whole Numbers

Ok guys and gals this is what I have. I need to put () around whole numbers
and negative numbers need to read out normal. Here is an example.

12 would read out as (12)
-12 Would read out as 12
Here is a example:
If A1 was 12 and A2 was -13 A3 would = 1
and if
A1 was 12 and A3 was -4 A3 would = (8)

A3 = A1+A2

Thanks

Thanks Martin works great but now I need to take the number 2 places past the
Decimal here is a example

12.12 would = (12.12) and
-12.12 would equal 12.12

Thanks again

Maybe this,

(#.00);#.00;;

Also take a look here for a full explanation of formatting.

Woops that should be (#.00);#.00;0;

The first one won't show zero values.
