_________________
(1) Dividends on cumulative convertible preferred stock are deducted to arrive
at net income applicable to common stock as the preferred stock is not a
common stock equivalent and is therefore not considered as if converted for
primary earnings per share.
(2) Reflects adjustment to interest expense, net of related income tax effect,
on excess proceeds due to 20% limitation on assumed acquisition of shares
under the modified treasury stock method. Assumed proceeds from stock
options include an income tax benefit as the options are not qualified
options under the Internal Revenue Code.
(3) Options and warrants issued within one year of the initial filing of the
accompanying registration statement are assumed to be outstanding for all
periods using the modified treasury stock method at the assumed initial
public offering price, regardless of whether they are anti-dilutive.
(4) Options and warrants are assumed exercised using the modified treasury stock
method, except where the effect is anti-dilutive.
(5) Fully diluted net income per share is anti-dilutive. Accordingly, fully
diluted net income per share is not presented for all periods.
