Registrant on March 15, 1996, was $231,721,284.  (This figure was computed on 
the basis of the closing price of such stock on the NASDAQ National Market on 
March 15, 1996 using the aggregate number of shares held on that date by, or 
in nominee name for, shareholders who are not officers, directors or record 
holders of 10% or more of the Registrant's outstanding voting stock.  The 
characterization of such officers, directors and 10% shareholders as affiliates 
is for purposes of this computation only and should not be construed as an
admission for any other purpose that any of such persons are, in fact, 
affiliates of the Registrant.)

Indicate the number of shares outstanding of each of the Registrant's classes 
of Common Stock, as of the latest practicable date:
8,657,421 shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, were outstanding
