from reincorporation will be fully amortized. The divestitures of ARS and AMS resulted in a reduction of approximately $4 million
in the average annual cash tax benefits; however, the cash tax benefits were accelerated into 2006 and 2007 such that the aggregate
tax benefits are unchanged. Accounting standards require that the Company recognize deferred taxes relating to the differences
between the financial reporting and tax basis of the assets. As the annual tax benefit from the amortization expense is realized, the
deferred tax liability increases, reflecting the declining tax basis compared to the non-amortized book basis. Significant components
of the Company's deferred tax balances are as follows:

this liability will not actually be paid until a business unit of the Company is sold.
