_______________________
(1) Under the provisions of Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Bulletin
No. 64 ("SAB" No. 64), common stock and common stock equivalents issued by
the company within one year or in contemplation of the Company's offering
are treated as if they were outstanding for all periods presented prior to
the Company's IPO. After the IPO is effective, the determination of common
stock and equivalents has been determined on a basis consistent with FAS
128, which states "EPS shall not assume conversion exercise or contingent
issuance of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings
per share."
