(1)      The computations set forth for the three and six fiscal months ended
         March 31, 1996 are based on pro forma net income which reflects the
         recording by the Company of additional taxes as if the Company were
         treated as a C corporation for all periods presented.

(2)      Reflects the estimated number of shares required to be sold by the
         Company (as calculated based upon the net proceeds of the initial
         public offering) to pay the pre-offering shareholder distributions of
         approximately $9,952. The total estimated shares of 890 were assumed to
         be outstanding for both periods of fiscal 1996. Subsequent to the
         initial public offering, the shares were actually outstanding and are
         therefore included in the "average shares outstanding" calculation
         above.
