Notes:

        1.      Options to purchase approximately 775,000, 1.288 million, 
                1.484 million and 1.376 million shares of common stock were 
                outstanding during 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively, but
                were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per
                share because the effect would have been antidilutive.

   
        2.      Warrants to purchase 40,568 and 567,889 shares of common stock 
                were outstanding during 1998 and 1999, respectively, but were 
                not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share 
                because the effect would have been antidilutive.
