(A) All shares have been adjusted to give effect to the 3.75 for 1 stock split
effected in the form of a stock dividend effective March 28, 1996.
(B) All stock options are anti-dilutive, however, pursuant to Securities and
Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 83 (SAB 83), stock options
granted with exercise prices below the assumed initial offering price during
the twelve-month period preceding the date of the initial filing of the
Registration Statement filed in connection with the Company's initial public
offering have been included in the calculation of common stock equivalent shares
as if they were outstanding for all periods through June 30, 1996, the quarter
in which the initial public offering was declared effective.
(C) All stock issued during the year ended December 31, 1995 was within the
twelve-month period discussed in (B) above. As a result, the shares issued at
prices below the assumed initial public offering price during this period have
been included in the calculation as if they were outstanding for all periods
presented. For the year ended December 31, 1996 and the three months ended
March 31, 1997, the shares of Class A and B common stock issued during the year
ended December 31, 1995 are shown as shares outstanding at the beginning of the
