common stock issuable upon conversion of our convertible subordinated
notes, along with a corresponding adjustment to net income to add back
related interest expense, net of tax, of approximately $1.6 million
and $3.2 million, respectively. The computation of diluted earnings
per share for the quarter and the six months ended March 31, 2003

(b) On February 2, 2004, our Board of Directors declared a
three-for-two stock split in the form of a 50% common stock dividend
with cash payment in lieu of fractional shares, paid on March 10, 2004
to shareholders of record on February 18, 2004. The share and per
share amounts within the condensed consolidated statements of income
have been restated to reflect this stock split.
