CARRIAGE SERVICES, INC.
COMPUTATION OF PER SHARE EARNINGS
(UNAUDITED AND IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
Loss per share for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
1996 is calculated based on the weighted average number of common and common
equivalent shares outstanding during the period as proscribed by APB 15. Loss
per share for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1995 is
calculated based on the weighted average number of common and common equivalent
shares outstanding during the period using guidance provided by the SEC for
companies contemplating an initial public offering. Loss per share has been
presented as if the reverse stock split had occurred at the beginning of the
earliest period resented. Loss per common and common equivalent share for the
three and nine month periods ending September 30, 1996 and 1995 was as follows:

(a) Effective January 1, 1994, the shareholders of three affiliated
companies, which had common ownership and management exchanged their stock in
those companies for Common Stock of the Company. In this transaction, the assets
and liabilities were recorded at historical cost in a manner similar to a
pooling-of-interests. Accordingly, loss per share has been presented as if the
Common Stock has been outstanding for all periods presented at the conversion
rate utilized at January 1, 1994.
(b) In accordance with SEC's Staff Accounting Bulletin No., 83, the loss per
share has been presented assuming that all stock options granted by the Company
within one year of the Company's initial public offering have been outstanding
for all periods presented. The effect of such stock options has been calculated
using the "treasury stock" method (using an initial public offering price of
$13.50 per share) and has been included in the calculation of common equivalent
shares outstanding despite the fact that the effect of the assumed exercise of
such options is anti-dilutive.
(c) Pursuant to the terms of their respective agreements, the Company's
Series A, B and C Preferred Stocks automatically converted to Common Stock upon
the Company's initial public offering ("IPO"). Therefore, in accordance with
SEC's position relative to securities with these conversion characteristics, the
effect of such conversions has been reflected from the respective dates of
issuance of the preferred stocks in common equivalent shares outstanding,
despite the fact that the effect of the assumed conversion is anti-dilutive.
(d) In accordance with APB Opinion 15, the shares issued in the Company's
IPO have been included in the weighted average number of common and common
equivalent shares outstanding since the effective date of the IPO (August 8,
1996). On a prospective basis, the full effect of that issuance will be
reflected in the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares
outstanding. Additionally, common stock equivalents have not been included in
the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding
for the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 1996 as their
inclusion would have reduced the reported loss per common and common equivalent
share. Consequently, fully diluted earnings per share is considered to be the
same as primary earnings per share presented here.
