(1) The weighted average shares outstanding are based on the number of shares 
    of Common Stock issued and outstanding.  The weighted average shares
    outstanding for 1995 are based on the number of shares of Common stock
    issued and outstanding after reflecting the stock split discussed in Note
    5 - Initial Public Offering and Related Transactions, as if such split 
    occurred on January 29, 1995.

(2) In accordance with APB 15, the common stock equivalents were calculated by
    applying the treasury stock method, and limiting the number of shares of
    Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of outstanding options and warrants in
    the aggregate to 20% of the number of shares outstanding at the end of the
    period for which the computation is being made.
