(1) Prior to the closing of the Offering, the Company will be treated as an S
    corporation for federal and state income tax purposes. The pro forma
    presentation reflects the provision for income taxes as if the Company had
    always been fully subject to federal and state taxes as a C corporation at
    the effective tax rate of 42%.     
          
(2) Options have been considered to be outstanding for all periods presented
    and an estimated initial offering of $15.00 per share and an assumed
    option exercise price of $4.06 per share has been used in applying the
    treasury stock method. Weighted average shares outstanding includes the
    effect of the assumed issuance of 1,253,334 shares of common stock to
    generate sufficient cash to pay the Shareholder Distribution Amount of
    $18.8 million. The assumed issuance of common stock was based on an
    assumed price of $15.00, the midpoint of the estimated range of the
    initial public offering price.
