Taxes: The Company accounts for its income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of
and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which those temporary

The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is at least more likely than not that the tax
position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits
recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than
fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with the taxing authorities.
The Company expects continued volatility in the effective tax rate from year to year because the Company is required each year
to determine whether new information changes the assessment of both the probability that a tax position will effectively be
sustained and the appropriateness of the amount of recognized benefit.
The Company also accrues for certain other taxes as required by their operations.
Judgment is required in determining the provision for income and other taxes and related accruals, deferred tax assets and

Additionally, the Company’s various tax returns are subject to audit by various tax authorities. Although the Company believes
that its estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from these estimates.
