  At December 31, 2004, the Company had available domestic federal and state net operating loss 
  carryforwards of approximately $25.6 million ($16.6 million after tax), which begin to expire in 2023. In 
  assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not some 
  portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized after the initial recognition of the deferred tax asset. 
  The Company provides valuation allowances to oÅset portions of deferred tax assets due to uncertainty 
  surrounding the future realization of such deferred tax assets. The Company adjusts the valuation allowance, if 
  any, in the period management determines it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will or will not be 
  realized. 
  
  The Company made income tax payments (net of refunds received) of approximately $12.9 million, 
  $17.7 million and $69.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
