Note E — Income Taxes

      A tax provision or benefit was not applied against the income or loss before income taxes in the third quarter and the first nine months of 2004 and 2003 for certain domestic and foreign taxes as a result of the deferred tax valuation allowance recorded in 2003 and previous periods in accordance with SFAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” due to the uncertainty regarding full utilization of the Company’s deferred income taxes. The valuation allowance was reduced offsetting a portion of the net tax expense in both the third quarter and first nine months of 2004, while the valuation allowance was increased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2003 offsetting the net tax benefit in those periods. The Company intends to maintain the valuation allowance until additional realization events occur, including the generation of future sustainable taxable income, that would support reversal of all or a portion of the allowance. The tax expense was $0.3 million in the third quarter 2004 and $0.2 million in the third quarter 2003 while the year-to-date tax expense was $0.5 million in 2004 and $0.6 million in 2003. The expense in each period represents taxes from various state and local jurisdictions and foreign taxes from Japan and Singapore only.

      The remaining tax valuation allowance available to be reversed against future income was approximately $15.3 million at the end of the third quarter 2004.
