(1) Fully diluted net income per share has not been separately presented, as the
amounts would not be materially different from primary net income per share.

(2) Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No.
83, certain common and common equivalent shares issued by the Company during the
twelve months immediately preceding the initial filing of the registration
statement relating to the Company's initial public offering have been included
in the calculation of weighted average shares, using the treasury stock method
and the initial public offering price, as if these shares were outstanding for
all periods prior to the initial public offering.
