_____________
(1) On July 8, 1996, the Board of Directors authorized a two-for-one stock
    split, effected in the form of a stock dividend, payable to shareholders of
    record on July 24, 1996.  All references in the financial statements to
    number of shares outstanding and related prices, per share amounts and
    stock option plan data have been retroactively restated to reflect the
    split.

(2) Calculated assuming exercise of options for 1,779,962 and 2,434,004 shares
    of common stock with prices ranging from $1.25 to $18.75 per share based
    upon the average estimated market price of $3.13 and $12.60 for the period.
    Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletins
    and Staff policy, common equivalent shares issued during the 12-month
    period prior to an initial public offering at prices substantially below
    the public offering price are presumed to have been issued in contemplation
    of the initial public offering and have been included in the calculation as
    if they were outstanding since the beginning of the period presented (using
    the treasury stock method and the public offering price).

(3) Calculated for 1996 by dividing the sum of the Special Distribution Notes
    ($10,910,000) paid from the net proceeds of the offering by the net
    proceeds price per share from the offering of $15.03 (pre split) and
    weighted based upon the days the notes were outstanding during the first
    quarter of 1996.  Calculated for 1995 by dividing the sum of the S
    Corporation retained earnings to be distributed to S Corporation
    shareholders earned through June 30, 1995 by the net proceeds price per
    share from the offering of $15.03 (pre split).
