Comprehensive Income
The Company reports comprehensive income in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”)
Statement No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, which establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive
income and its components in financial statements. Comprehensive income includes charges and credits to stockholders’ equity
that are not the result of transactions with shareholders. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, accumulated other comprehensive
loss includes adjustments, net of tax, to reflect unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on marketable securities. The Company

securities for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002 respectively. These adjustments have been reflected in the
accompanying consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for receivables and accounts payable approximate fair values
because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. Marketable securities are reported at fair value in
the consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is estimated based on current rates offered to the
Company for similar debt and approximated $495.8 million as of December 31, 2004, as compared to the carrying amount of
$495.8 million. The Company’s fair value of long-term debt as of December 31, 2003 was $493.2 million as compared to the
carrying amount of $493.7 million.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards SFAS (“No. 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging
Activities, SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activity, an Amendment of SFAS
133 and related interpretations require that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at their respective fair
values.
The Company has an interest rate swap agreement to manage its exposure on the debt instrument related to the Company’s
headquarters. The Company's policies do not permit management to enter into derivative instruments for any purpose other than
cash flow hedging purposes. Accordingly, the Company does not speculate using derivative instruments. The Company assesses
interest rate cash flow risk by identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected
future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities. The fair values of the Company's derivative instruments are
recognized as other current liabilities in the accompanying balance sheet. The Company adopted SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No.
138 on January 1, 2001. In accordance with the transition provisions of SFAS No. 133, the Company recorded a $691,000 and
$900,000 liability at December 31, 2004 and 2003 respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company
decreased interest expense by $209,000 during the year ended December 31, 2004 and increased interest expense by $225,000 for
the year ended December 31, 2003 as a result of the interest swap agreement.
