Income Taxes
------------
The Company records income taxes in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income
Taxes which requires an asset and liability method of accounting for
income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income
taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of "temporary
differences" by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to
future years to differences between the financial statement carrying
amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. The
effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rate is recognized in
income in the period of enactment. A valuation allowance is recorded
based on the uncertainty regarding the ultimate realizability of future
deferred tax assets.
Interim Financial Information
