Net income per common and common equivalent share is computed using the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during each period.

Common equivalent shares represent the dilutive effects of outstanding stock
options using the treasury stock method and average market prices during the
periods presented.

The calculation of fully dilutive earnings per share uses the higher of the
ending market price for the period or the average market price.
