  **Market Risk**
  
  The Company’s market risks relate primarily to changes in interest rates on instruments held for other than trading 
  purposes. Our interest rate risk involves three components, although only one is of any significance at this time. The 
  first component is outstanding debt with variable rates. As of December 31, 2003, the Company's variable rate debt 
  balance was zero. The Company has a variable rate line of credit totaling $0.5 million with SunTrust Banks. The 
  Company's remaining debt has fixed rates through its maturity. A 10.0% decline in interest rates would increase the 
  fair value of the fixed rate debt by approximately $1.1 million, while the estimated current fair value of the fixed rate 
  debt is approximately $42.6 million. 
  
  The second component of interest rate risk is temporary excess cash, primarily invested in overnight repurchase 
  agreements and short-term certificates of deposit and money market funds. The Company currently has approximately 
  $27.9 million of cash equivalents in money market funds, which are earning rates of approximately 1% per year. The 
  cash is currently in short-term investment vehicles that have limited interest rate risk. Management continues to 
  evaluate the most beneficial use of these funds.
