1)The number of common shares outstanding used to compute net income per share
was 20,573,847 and 20,281,774 for the quarter and nine months ended September
30,1997, respectively. The provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
15, "Earnings per Share" required that the Company, effective for the first
quarter of 1997, prospectively commence to report net income per common share on
a primary earnings per share basis. Accordingly, the weighted average shares
outstanding for the third quarter of 1997 and the nine months ended September
30, 1997, includes common stock equivalents. Primary and fully diluted earnings
per share for the quarter ended September 30, 1997, were both calculated based
on weighted average shares outstanding of 21,227,999. Primary and fully diluted
earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, were both
calculated based on weighted average shares outstanding of 20,872,932, which
assumes the exercise of options covering 1,332,587 shares, excludes 270,702
contingent shares and computes incremental shares using the treasury stock
method. The weighted average shares for both the nine months and the third
quarter of 1997 have been retroactively adjusted for the 5% stock dividend
declared on October 31, 1997.
