Prior to its initial public offering, the Company had elected S-Corporation status and as a result did not accrue substantial domestic taxes on its earnings. The following pro forma financial information for the quarters ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 reflect pro forma earnings on an after tax basis, assuming the Company had been taxed as a C corporation since January 1, 1997. In addition, these pro forma results also reflect goodwill amortization resulting from the acquisition of minority interests in foreign subsidiaries, net of the elimination of the minority interest charge reflected in the historical financial statements, as if the exchange had occurred on January 1, 1997. Such acquisition resulted in an increase in weighted average shares outstanding for pro forma purposes. The pro forma results for the three months ended March 31, 1998 are the same as the actual results for the period.
