NET INCOME PER SHARE

    Net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common
and common equivalent shares, when dilutive, from stock options and warrants 
(using the treasury stock method). Pursuant to a Securities and Exchange 
Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin, common and common equivalent shares (using
the treasury stock method and the public offering price) issued by the Company 
within 12 months prior to the Company's initial public offering filing have been
included in the calculation as if they were outstanding for all periods through 
the effective date of the Company's initial public offering.
