text: As permitted by SFAS 123, the company currently accounts for share-based payments to employees 
  using APB 25's intrinsic value method and, as such, generally recognizes no compensation cost for employee 
  stock options. Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS 123(R)'s fair value method may have a signiÑcant impact 
  on our result of operations, although it will have no impact on our overall Ñnancial position. The impact of 
  adoption of SFAS 123(R) cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based 
  payments granted in the future. SFAS 123(R) requires the beneÑts of tax deductions in excess of recognized 
  compensation cost to be reported as a Ñnancing cash Öow, rather than as an operating cash Öow as required 
  under current literature. This requirement will reduce net operating cash Öows and increase net Ñnancing cash 
  Öows in periods after adoption. While the Company cannot estimate what those amounts will be in the future 
  (because they depend on, among other things, when employees exercise stock options), the amount of 
  operating cash Öows recognized in prior periods for such excess tax deductions were $10.6 million, 
  $6.7 million, and $4.0 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
