Index to Financial Statements
Deferred income taxes are recorded when revenues and expenses are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax return
purposes. The temporary differences and tax carry-forwards that created deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are as follows (in
thousands):
The Company maintains a valuation allowance of $70.2 million and $92.2 million at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, on the
deferred tax assets, as full realization of net operating loss carry-forwards related to certain foreign countries and Federal net operating losses
and capital loss carry-forwards are not expected. The decrease in these valuation allowances in 2003 is primarily related to the reversal of
valuations allowance on capital loss carry-forwards, as a result of the Company’s investment gains on SBI.
The effective tax rates differed from the Federal statutory rates as follows:
