Note D – Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

     The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the intrinsic value method described in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”) and related interpretations. Had compensation expense for these plans been determined in accordance with the fair value method described in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”), the Company’s net income and net income per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts in the following table.

Note E – Treasury Stock

     Treasury stock is shown at cost, and consisted of 1,173,124 shares and 923,949 shares of common stock at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. Repurchase of outstanding stock by the Company in exercise of its right of repurchase upon termination of employment (as defined) are made at estimated fair value. The stock price is calculated quarterly by the Company using a formula approved by the Board of Directors (which the Company believes estimates fair value), and is evaluated annually by an independent valuation firm.

Note F – New Accounting Standards

     The Company adopted the following Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) as of January 1, 2002: SFAS 141, which addresses accounting for acquired business using the purchase method of accounting; SFAS 142, which addressees accounting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets; SFAS 143, which addresses accounting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated retirement costs; and SFAS 144, which addresses the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. Adoption of these standards did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

     During December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS 148, which provides alternative transition methods for companies adopting a voluntary change to the fair

Table of Contents

value method of accounting for stock-based compensation. SFAS 148 also requires enhanced disclosure regarding the method of accounting and the effect of the method used on reported results of operations. SFAS 148 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The Company adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS 148 in December 2002, and has elected to continue to account for its stock-based compensation under the intrinsic value method.

     In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) 45, which requires disclosures about obligations under certain guarantees issued by the Company, and which requires recognition of a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The liability recognition provisions of FIN 45 are applicable to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002, and the disclosure provisions are effective for interim or annual fiscal periods ending after December 15, 2002. Adoption of FIN 45 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

     In January 2003, the Company adopted SFAS 146, which addresses accounting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities. In addition, the FASB issued FIN 46, which requires that certain variable interest entities be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk. FIN 46 is effective immediately for all variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. For all such entities created prior to February 1, 2003, FIN 46 is effective for interim or annual fiscal periods ending after June 15, 2003. Adoption of these statements did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations

     In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 149, which amends and clarifies accounting guidance on derivative instruments and hedging a
