                        STATEMENT REGARDING COMPUTATION
                             OF PER SHARE EARNINGS
                     (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
                                  (UNAUDITED)

   Earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994 were
computed based on the weighted average number of common and dilutive common
equivalent shares outstanding. Common equivalent shares for the years ended
December 31, 1995 and 1994 include shares of Series A Preferred Stock that were
converted into common shares upon consummation of the Company's initial public
offering. Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 83, all shares and options issued within one year prior the initial
filing of the registration statement, if dilutive, were treated as if they were
outstanding for all reported periods.
