Note: The effect of the assumed exercise of stock options and the assumed
conversion of the note payable and preferred stock have not been included in the
computation of diluted earnings per share for the period after issuance because
to do so would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented

          See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements.
