At December 31, 2001, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards for foreign income tax purposes of $4 which are available over an indefinite period to offset future foreign taxable income.

The Company has not provided U.S. Federal income taxes on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries accumulated through December 31, 1992 since the Company intends to reinvest such earnings indefinitely or to distribute them in a manner in which no significant additional taxes would be incurred. Such undistributed earnings are approximately $41,900 and the additional Federal and state taxes payable in a hypothetical distribution of such accumulated earnings would approximate $10,100. Since 1993, the Company has been providing for Federal and state income tax expense on foreign earnings without regard to whether such earnings will be permanently reinvested outside the United States.
