It is possible that we may be treated as a personal holding company for Federal tax purposes now or in the future. The Internal Revenue Code currently imposes an additional tax at a rate of 15% on the “undistributed personal holding company income” (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code) of a corporation that is a “personal holding company” and such rate of tax is scheduled to increase for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2008. A corporation is treated as a personal holding company for a taxable year if both (i) five or fewer individuals directly or indirectly own (or are deemed under attribution rules to own) more than 50% of the value of the corporation’s stock at any time during the last half of that taxable year and (ii) 60% or more of the corporation’s gross income for that taxable year is “personal holding company income” (which includes, among other things, dividends, interest, annuities and, under certain circumstances, royalties and rents). We believe that, under applicable attribution rules, five or fewer individuals may be deemed to own more than 50% of the value of our stock and the stock of our subsidiaries. We also believe, however, that less than 60% of our and our subsidiaries’ gross income consists of personal holding company income and, as a result, we believe that neither we nor any of our subsidiaries is a personal holding company. There can be no assurance, however, that we or any of our subsidiaries are not, or will not become, a personal holding company and thus be subject, or become subject to, the tax imposed on our or our subsidiaries’ undistributed personal holding company income.
