ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS

<PAGE>   2
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards(SFAS) No.
128. This Statement requires the presentation of basic and diluted net income
per share. Basic net income per common share is computed using the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net
income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and
dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive common
equivalent shares consist of stock options. The Company has restated all prior
period per share data presented as required by SFAS No. 128. Restated numbers as
computed using the diluted method under SFAS No. 128 approximate those computed
using the primary method as defined in Accounting Principals Board Opinion No.
15.

Share and per share data presented reflect a three-for-two split, which was
effective on December 16, 1997.

The following table presents the restated annual EPS (in thousands, except per
share amounts):
