  2This is the result of the after-tax write-off of $0.5 million in deferred loans costs and a debt discount associated with the early retirement of our Senior Notes during the fourth quarter of 2003.

  3 This is the result of a change in the valuation allowance associated with our net tax assets during the fourth quarter of 2002, which resulted in the recognition of a current tax benefit in the amount of $8.8 million.
