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.
