NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

  1.   Basis of Presentation -
 
      In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of those of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the results of the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2004, and June 30, 2003, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
  2.   Employee Stock-Based Awards – Employee stock-based awards are accounted for under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations. Fixed plan common stock options generally do not result in compensation expense, because the exercise price of the options issued by the Company equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”.
