<div align="left" style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;"><font style="display: inline; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 10pt;">In calculating the provision for income taxes on an interim basis, the Company estimates the annual effective income tax rate based upon the facts and circumstances known for the period and applies that rate to the earnings or losses for the most recent interim period.  The Company’s effective income tax rate is based on expected income and statutory tax rates and takes into consideration permanent differences between financial statement income and tax return income applicable to the Company in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates.  The effect of a discrete item, such as changes in estimates, changes in enacted tax laws or rates or tax status, and unusual or infrequently occurring events, is recognized in the interim period in which the discrete item occurs.  The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, additional information is obtained or as the result of new judicial interpretations or regulatory or tax law changes.</font></div>
