Average Basic Shares Outstanding	60,037
Effect of Diluted Stock Options	1,093
Average Shares Outstanding including the effect of Stock Options	61,130

When considering the effect of dilutive stock options on shares outstanding, Net Income before Special Items is $3.19 per share for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007.

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, management believes that non-GAAP financial measures which exclude certain non-recurring items present additional useful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods, providing investors with a clearer view of the underlying trends of the business. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating, planning and compensation decisions and in evaluating the Company’s performance. In addition, Free Cash Flow and EBITDA provide supplemental information to assist management and investors in analyzing the Company’s ability to generate positive cash flow. Non-GAAP financial measures, which may be inconsistent with similarly captioned measures presented by other companies, should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
