    always been fully subject to federal and state taxes as a C corporation at
    the effective tax rate of 42%.

    and an estimated initial offering of $12.00 per share and an assumed
    option exercise price of $4.06 per share has been used in applying the

    effect of the assumed issuance of 1,566,667 shares of common stock to
    generate sufficient cash to pay the Shareholder Distribution Amount of
    $18.8 million. The issuance of common stock was based on an assumed $12.00
