(1) Fully diluted net income (loss) per share has not been separately
    presented, as the amounts would not be materially different from primary
    net income (loss) per share.

(2) Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin
    No. 83, certain common and common equivalent shares issued by the Company
    during the twelve months immediately preceding the initial filing of the
    registration statement relating to the Company's initial public offering
    have been included in the calculation of weighted average shares, using
    the treasury stock method and the initial public offering price, as if
    these shares were outstanding for all periods prior to the initial public
    offering.
