Default display problem with brackets

have got some cells with brackets around numbers.

format is "("General")"

cell A1 contains 4 which displays as (4)

cell A2 = 5 which displays as (5)

but it goes wrong when I calculate...

cell A3 = A1 - A2 which displays as -(1)

but I want it to display as (-1)

how do I get the minus sign inside the brackets?

thanks
