/1/    The Company elected S Corporation status effective January 1, 1989. On
       May 31, 1994, the Company converted its status to a C Corporation and,
       accordingly, from June 1, 1994 has been subject to federal and state
       income taxes. Net income prior to June 1, 1994, includes federal and
       state income taxes as if the Company had been a C Corporation, based on
       the effective tax rates that would have been in effect during the periods
       reported.

/2/    The weighted average number of shares outstanding prior to the third
       quarter of 1994 gives effect to the estimated number of shares of Common
       Stock that would be required to be sold (at the initial public offering
       price of $8.50 per share) to fund a $4.5 million S Corporation
       distribution to the S Corporation stockholders.
