  In assessing the ability to realize deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some 
  portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent 
  upon generating future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. 
  Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax 
  planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for 
  future taxable income over the periods which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it more likely 
  than not that the Company will realize the benefits of the deductible differences that are not reserved by the valuation 
  allowance, which increased by $160 thousand, to $864 thousand in 2003, from $704 thousand in 2002. The Company 
  has generated net operating loss (NOL) carry forwards of approximately $25.9 million from its PCS operations in 
  several states. The carry forwards expire at varying dates beginning in 2005.
