                         CIT GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

       NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Unaudited) (Continued)

Note 1 -- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

      CIT Group Inc., a Delaware corporation ("we," "CIT" or the "Company"),  is
a global  commercial and consumer  finance company that was founded in 1908. CIT
provides  financing  and leasing  capital for  consumers and companies in a wide
variety of industries, offering vendor, equipment,  commercial,  factoring, home
lending,  educational lending and structured  financing  products.  CIT operates
primarily in North America,  with locations in Europe, Latin America,  Australia
and the Asia-Pacific region.

      These  financial  statements,  which have been prepared in accordance with
the  instructions  to Form 10-Q, do not include all of the  information and note
disclosures  required by accounting  principles generally accepted in the United
States  ("GAAP") and should be read in  conjunction  with the  Company's  Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.  Financial  statements
in this Form 10-Q have not been  audited by the  independent  registered  public
accounting  firm  in  accordance  with  the  standards  of  the  Public  Company
Accounting  Oversight Board (U.S.), but in the opinion of management include all
adjustments,  consisting only of normal recurring  adjustments,  necessary for a
fair statement of CIT's  financial  position and results of operations.  Certain
prior  period  amounts  have  been   reclassified  to  conform  to  the  current
presentation.

Education Lending Acquisition

      In February 2005, CIT acquired  Education  Lending Group,  Inc.  (EDLG), a
specialty  finance  company  principally  engaged in providing  education  loans
(primarily  U.S.  government  guaranteed),  products  and  services to students,
parents,  schools and alumni  associations.  The  shareholders  of EDLG received
$19.05 per share or  approximately  $383 million in cash.  The  acquisition  was
accounted  for  under  the  purchase  method,   with  the  acquired  assets  and
liabilities  recorded at their estimated fair values as of the February 17, 2005
acquisition  date. The assets acquired  included  approximately  $4.4 billion of
finance  receivables and $287 million of goodwill and intangible assets. The net
income impact of the EDLG  acquisition for the period of CIT's ownership  during
the quarter ended March 31, 2005 was immaterial.

      This business is largely funded with  "Education Loan Backed Notes," which
are accounted for under SFAS No. 140  "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial  Assets and  Extinguishments  of Liabilities." As EDLG retains certain
call features with respect to these borrowings, the transactions do not meet the
SFAS 140 requirements for sales treatment and are therefore  recorded as secured
borrowings  and are  reflected in the  Consolidated  Balance Sheet as "Education
lending receivables  pledged" and "Non-recourse,  secured borrowings - education
lending."  Certain cash  balances,  included in cash and cash  equivalents,  are
restricted in conjunction with these borrowings.

Stock-Based Compensation

      CIT has elected to apply Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25 ("APB 25")
rather  than the  optional  provisions  of  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
Standards No. 123,  "Accounting for Stock-Based  Compensation"  ("SFAS 123"), as
amended by SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based  Compensation -- Transition
and Disclosure" in accounting for its stock-based  compensation plans. Under APB
25, CIT does not  recognize  compensation  expense on the  issuance of its stock
options  because the option  terms are fixed and the  exercise  price equals the
market price of the  underlying  stock on the grant date.  The  following  table
presents the pro forma information  required by SFAS 123 as if CIT had accounted
for stock options granted under the fair value method of SFAS 123, as amended ($
in millions, except per share data):

       NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Unaudited) (Continued)

      For the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004,  net income  includes $6.1
million and $4.0 million of after-tax  compensation  cost related to  restricted
stock awards.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

      On January 1, 2005,  the Company  adopted  Statement of Position No. 03-3,
"Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt  Securities  Acquired in a Transfer" ("SOP
03-3").  SOP 03-3  requires  acquired  loans to be  carried  at fair  value  and
prohibits the establishment of credit loss valuation reserves at acquisition for
loans  that  have  evidence  of  credit  deterioration  since  origination.  The
implementation of SOP 03-3 did not have a material financial statement impact.

      In December 2004, the FASB issued a revision to SFAS No. 123, "Share-Based
Payment" ("FAS 123R"). FAS 123R requires the recognition of compensation expense
for all stock-based  compensation  plans as of the beginning of the first annual
reporting  period that begins after June 15, 2005.  The current  accounting  for
employee  stock  options  is  most  impacted  by this  new  standard,  as  costs
associated with restricted stock awards are already recognized in net income and
amounts  associated  with employee  stock  purchase  plans are not  significant.
Similar to the proforma amounts  disclosed  historically,  the compensation cost
relating to options  will be based upon the  grant-date  fair value of the award
and will be recognized over the vesting period.  The financial  statement impact
of adopting FAS 123R is not expected to differ  materially from proforma amounts
previously disclosed.

      In  December  2004,  the FASB issued  FASB Staff  Position  No. FAS 109-2,
"Accounting  and  Disclosure  Guidance  for the  Foreign  Earnings  Repatriation
Provision  within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004" ("FSP  109-2").  Given
the lack of clarification  of certain  provisions and the timing of the Act, FSP
109-2  allows for time  beyond the year ended  December  31, 2004 (the period of
enactment)  to  evaluate  the  effect  of the Act on plans for  reinvestment  or
repatriation of foreign  earnings for purposes of applying income tax accounting
under SFAS No. 109.  The  implementation  of FSP 109-2 is not expected to have a
material  financial  statement  impact on the  Company,  as there are no present
plans to repatriate foreign earnings.

      In May  2003,  the FASB  issued  SFAS No.  150,  "Accounting  for  Certain
Financial  Instruments with  Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." On
November 7, 2003, certain measurement and classification provisions of SFAS 150,
relating  to certain  mandatorily  redeemable  non-controlling  interests,  were
deferred  indefinitely.  The adoption of these delayed provisions,  which relate
primarily to minority interests  associated with finite-lived  entities,  is not
expected to have a material financial statement impact on the Company.

Note 2 -- Earnings Per Share

      Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income by the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The diluted
EPS computation includes the potential impact of dilutive securities,  including
stock options and restricted stock grants.  The dilutive effect of stock options
is computed  using the treasury  stock method,  which assumes the  repurchase of
common shares by CIT at the average market price for the period. Options that do
not have a  dilutive  effect  (because  the  exercise  price is above the market
price) are not  included in the  denominator  and  averaged  approximately  16.9
million shares and 16.1 million shares for the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and
2004, respectively.

Note 3 -- Business Segment Information

      The selected financial  information by business segment presented below is
based upon the  allocation  of most  corporate  expenses.  For the quarter ended
March 31,  2005,  capital is  allocated  to the  segments by applying  different
leverage  ratios to each  business  unit  using  market and risk  criteria.  The
capital allocations reflect the relative risk of individual asset classes within
segments and range from  approximately 2% of managed assets for U.S.  government
guaranteed loans to approximately  15% of managed assets for longer-term  assets
such as aerospace and rail.  Prior period balances have been adjusted to conform
to current period presentation. ($ in millions)

      During the quarter  ended June 30,  2005,  the Company  initiated  further
steps to align its business with its customers,  to increase productivity and to
improve  efficiencies,  and the segment reporting was modified  accordingly.  As
part of the  realignment,  Commercial  Services  (part of the former  Commercial
Finance segment) is now a stand-alone segment. The other unit, that formerly was
included with the Commercial  Finance segment,  is now reported in the Corporate
Finance segment, which includes: capital markets & management advisory services,
communications, media & entertainment, as well as energy & infrastructure assets
transferred  from  Capital  Finance  and  healthcare  assets   transferred  from
Equipment Finance.  The segment data included in the table has been conformed to
this  presentation  (except for the healthcare asset transfer) and is consistent
with management reporting.

      The changes in fair values of  derivatives  qualifying as cash flow hedges
corresponded  to higher  market  interest  rates  during the  quarter,  as these
derivatives  effectively  convert an equivalent  amount of  variable-rate  debt,
including  commercial  paper,  to  fixed  rates  of  interest.  See  Note  7 for
additional information.

      Total comprehensive  income for the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004
was $300.0 million and $134.5 million.

Note 7 -- Derivative Financial Instruments

      As part of managing exposure to interest rate,  foreign currency,  and, in
limited  instances,  credit  risk,  CIT, as an  end-user,  enters  into  various
derivative transactions, all of which are transacted in over-the-counter markets
with other financial institutions.  Derivatives are utilized to hedge exposures,
and not for speculative  purposes. To ensure both appropriate use as a hedge and
to achieve hedge accounting  treatment,  whenever  possible,  substantially  all
derivatives entered into are designated according to a hedge objective against a
specific or forecasted liability or, in limited instances,  assets. The notional
amounts,  rates,  indices,  and maturities of our derivatives  closely match the
related terms of the underlying hedged items.

      CIT  utilizes  interest  rate  swaps to  exchange  variable-rate  interest
underlying forecasted issuances of commercial paper, specific variable-rate debt
instruments,  and, in limited  instances,  variable-rate  assets for  fixed-rate
amounts.  These  interest  rate  swaps are  designated  as cash flow  hedges and
changes in fair value of these  swaps,  to the extent  they are  effective  as a
hedge,  are  recorded in other  comprehensive  income.  Ineffective  amounts are
recorded in interest expense.

      The components of the adjustment to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
for  derivatives  qualifying as hedges of future cash flows are presented in the
following table ($ in millions).

                                                                            ======           ======          ======


      The  unrealized  gain as of March 31,  2005,  presented  in the  preceding
table,   primarily   reflects  our  use  of  interest   rate  swaps  to  convert
variable-rate  debt to fixed-rate debt,  followed by increasing  market interest
rates. Assuming no change in interest rates,  approximately $5.0 million, net of
tax, of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income is expected to be reclassified to
earnings over the next twelve months as contractual  cash payments are made. The
Accumulated Other Comprehensive  Income (along with the corresponding swap asset
or  liability)  will be  adjusted  as  market  interest  rates  change  over the
remaining life of the swaps.

      The  ineffective  amounts,  due to  changes in the fair value of cash flow
hedges,  are  recorded as either an increase or decrease to interest  expense as
presented in the following table ($ in millions).

                                                              Increase/Decrease
                                           Ineffectiveness   to Interest Expense
                                           ---------------   -------------------
For the quarter ended March 31, 2005 ...         $1.4             Increase
For the quarter ended March 31, 2004 ...         $0.3             Decrease

      CIT also utilizes  interest rate swaps to convert  fixed-rate  interest on
specific debt  instruments to variable-rate  amounts.  These interest rate swaps
are designated as fair value hedges and changes in fair value of these swaps are
effectively  recorded as an adjustment to the carrying value of the hedged item,
as the  offsetting  changes in fair value of the swaps and the hedged  items are
recorded in earnings.

      The following  table presents the notional  principal  amounts of interest
rate swaps by class and the corresponding hedged liability item ($ in millions):



                                                           March 31,     December 31,

      In  addition  to the  swaps  in  the  table  above,  in  conjunction  with
securitizations,  at March 31, 2005, CIT has $2.1 billion in notional  amount of
interest rate swaps  outstanding  with the related  trusts to protect the trusts
against interest rate risk. CIT entered into offsetting swap  transactions  with
third  parties  totaling  $2.1  billion in notional  amount at March 31, 2005 to
insulate the related interest rate risk.

      CIT  also  utilizes  foreign  currency   exchange  forward  contracts  and
cross-currency swaps to hedge currency risk underlying foreign currency loans to
subsidiaries and the net investments in foreign operations.  These contracts are
designated  as foreign  currency cash flow hedges or net  investment  hedges and
changes in fair value of these  contracts  are  recorded in other  comprehensive
income  along with the  translation  gains and losses on the  underlying  hedged
items.  CIT utilizes  cross  currency  swaps to hedge  currency risk  underlying
foreign  currency debt and selected  foreign  currency  assets.  These swaps are
designated as foreign  currency cash flow hedges or foreign  currency fair value
hedges and  changes  in fair  value of these  contracts  are  recorded  in other
comprehensive  income  (for  cash  flow  hedges),  or  effectively  as  a  basis
adjustment  (including the impact of the  offsetting  adjustment to the carrying
value of the hedged item) to the hedged item (for fair value  hedges) along with
the transaction gains and losses on the underlying hedged items.

       NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Unaudited) (Continued)

      During  2005 and 2004,  CIT  entered  into credit  default  swaps,  with a
combined  notional value of $118.0 million and terms of 5 years, to economically
hedge certain CIT credit exposures. These swaps do not meet the requirements for
hedge accounting  treatment and therefore are recorded at fair value,  with both
realized  and  unrealized  gains or  losses  recorded  in other  revenue  in the
consolidated  statement  of income.  The fair value  adjustment  for the quarter
ended  March 31, 2005  amounted  to a $1.2  million  pretax  loss.  CIT also has
certain  cross-currency  swaps  (with  a  combined  notional  principal  of $256
million) and an interest rate swap (basis swap  denominated in U.S. dollars with
notional  principal of $935 million) that was acquired in the education  lending
acquisition.  These instruments economically hedge exposures, but do not qualify
for hedge  accounting.  These  derivatives are recorded at fair value, with both
realized  and  unrealized  gains or  losses  recorded  in other  revenue  in the
consolidated statement of income.

Note 8 -- Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

      CIT is a partner with Dell Inc.  ("Dell") in Dell Financial  Services L.P.
("DFS"),  a joint venture that offers financing to Dell's  customers.  The joint
venture  provides  Dell  with  financing  and  leasing   capabilities  that  are
complementary to its product  offerings and provides CIT with a steady source of
new  financings.  The joint venture  agreement  provides Dell with the option to
purchase  CIT's 30% interest in DFS in February  2008 based on a formula tied to
DFS profitability,  within a range of $100 million to $345 million.  CIT has the
right to  purchase  a  minimum  percentage  of DFS's  finance  receivables  on a
declining scale through January 2010.

      CIT  regularly  purchases  finance  receivables  from  DFS  at a  premium,
portions of which are typically securitized within 90 days of purchase from DFS.
CIT has limited recourse to DFS on defaulted  contracts.  In accordance with the
joint venture  agreement,  net income and losses  generated by DFS as determined
under GAAP are  allocated 70% to Dell and 30% to CIT. The DFS board of directors
voting  representation  is equally weighted  between  designees of CIT and Dell,
with one  independent  director.  DFS is not  consolidated  in  CIT's  financial
statements and is accounted for under the equity  method.  At March 31, 2005 and
December  31,  2004,  financing  and leasing  assets  related to the DFS program
included in the CIT  Consolidated  Balance Sheet (but excluding  certain related
International  receivables  originated  directly by CIT) were approximately $2.2
billion and $2.0 billion, and securitized assets included in managed assets were
approximately  $2.2 billion and $2.5 billion,  respectively.  In addition to the
owned and securitized assets acquired from DFS, CIT's investment in and loans to
the joint venture were  approximately $217 million and $267 million at March 31,
2005 and December 31, 2004.

      CIT  also  has a  joint  venture  arrangement  with  Snap-on  Incorporated
("Snap-on") that has a similar business purpose and model to the DFS arrangement
described above, including limited credit recourse on defaulted receivables. The
agreement  with Snap-on  extends until  January  2006.  CIT and Snap-on have 50%
ownership interests,  50% board of directors'  representation,  and share income
and losses equally.  The Snap-on joint venture is accounted for under the equity
method and is not consolidated in CIT's financial statements.  At both March 31,
2005 and December 31, 2004, financing and leasing assets were approximately $1.1
billion and securitized assets included in managed assets were $0.1 billion.  In
addition to the owned and  securitized  assets  purchased from the Snap-on joint
venture,  CIT's investment in and loans to the joint venture were  approximately
$18 million and $16 million at March 31, 2005 and December  31,  2004.  Both the
Snap-on  and  the  Dell  joint  venture  arrangements  were  acquired  in a 1999
acquisition.

      Since December  2000,  CIT has been a joint venture  partner with Canadian
Imperial Bank of Commerce  ("CIBC") in an entity that is engaged in  asset-based
lending in Canada.  Both CIT and CIBC have a 50% ownership interest in the joint
venture, and share income and losses equally. This entity is not consolidated in
CIT's  financial  statements  and is accounted for under the equity  method.  At
March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, CIT's investment in and loans to the joint
venture were approximately $218 million and $191 million.

      CIT  invests  in  various  trusts,  partnerships,  and  limited  liability
corporations  established in conjunction with structured financing  transactions
of equipment,  power and infrastructure  projects. CIT's interests in certain of
these  entities  were  acquired  by CIT in a 1999  acquisition,  and others were
subsequently  entered into in the normal  course of business.  At both March 31,
2005 and December 31, 2004, other assets included  approximately  $19 million of
investments in non-consolidated  entities relating to such transactions that are
accounted for under the equity or cost methods.

      In the normal course of meeting the financing needs of its customers,  CIT
enters into various credit-related commitments, including commitments to provide
financing and leasing capital, letters of credit and guarantees. Standby letters
of credit  obligate  CIT to pay the  beneficiary  of the letter of credit in the
event that a CIT  client to which the letter of credit was issued  does not meet
its related obligation to the beneficiary.  These financial instruments generate
fees and involve,  to varying degrees,  elements of credit risk in excess of the
amounts  recognized in the consolidated  balance sheets.  To minimize  potential
credit risk, CIT generally requires  collateral and other  credit-related  terms
and conditions  from the customer.  At the time  credit-related  commitments are
granted,  the fair value of the underlying  collateral and guarantees  typically
approximates or exceeds the contractual amount of the commitment. In the event a
customer defaults on the underlying transaction, the maximum potential loss will
generally be limited to the contractual amount outstanding less the value of all
underlying collateral and guarantees.

       NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Unaudited) (Continued)

      Guarantees  are issued  primarily  in  conjunction  with  CIT's  factoring
product,  whereby CIT provides the client with credit  protection  for its trade
receivables  without actually  purchasing the  receivables.  The trade terms are
generally  sixty days or less.  In the event that the  customer is unable to pay
according to the contractual terms, then the receivables would be purchased.  As
of March 31,  2005,  there were no  outstanding  liabilities  relating  to these
credit-related  commitments or guarantees,  as amounts are generally  billed and
collected on a monthly basis.

      CIT has entered into aerospace commitments to purchase commercial aircraft
from both  Airbus  Industrie  and The Boeing  Company.  The  commitment  amounts
detailed in the table are based on appraised  values,  actual  amounts will vary
based upon market  factors at the time of delivery.  The  remaining  units to be
purchased  are 41, with 15 to be completed  in 2005.  Lease  commitments  are in
place for twelve of the fifteen units to be delivered in 2005.  The order amount
excludes CIT's options to purchase additional aircraft.

      Outstanding  commitments to purchase  equipment to be leased to customers,
other than the aircraft  detailed  above,  relates  primarily to rail equipment.
Additionally, CIT is party to railcar sale-leaseback transactions under which it
is  obligated  to pay a remaining  total of $473.3  million,  approximately  $31
million per year through 2010 and declining  thereafter  through 2024,  which is
more than offset by CIT's  re-lease of the assets,  contingent on its ability to
maintain railcar usage. In conjunction with this sale-leaseback transaction, CIT
has guaranteed all obligations of the related consolidated lessee entity.

      CIT has guaranteed  the public and private debt  securities of a number of
its wholly-owned,  consolidated subsidiaries,  including those disclosed in Note
14 -- Summarized Financial Information of Subsidiaries.  In the normal course of
business,  various  consolidated CIT subsidiaries have entered into other credit
agreements and certain derivative  transactions with financial institutions that
are  guaranteed  by  CIT.  These   transactions  are  generally  used  by  CIT's
subsidiaries  outside of the U.S. to allow the local  subsidiary to borrow funds
in local currencies.

Note 11 -- Legal Proceedings

      On  September  9,  2004,  Exquisite  Caterers  v.  Popular  Leasing et al.
("Exquisite  Caterers"),  a putative national class action, was filed against 13
financial  institutions,  including  CIT,  who  had  acquired  equipment  leases
("NorVergence Leases") from NorVergence,  Inc., a reseller of telecommunications
and Internet  services to  businesses.  The  Exquisite  Caterers  lawsuit is now
pending in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Monmouth County. Exquisite Caterers
based  its  complaint  on  allegations  that  NorVergence   misrepresented   the
capabilities  of the equipment  leased to its customers and  overcharged for the
equipment.  The complaint asserts that the NorVergence  Leases are unenforceable
and seeks rescission,  punitive damages,  treble damages and attorneys' fees. In
addition,  putative class action suits in Florida, Illinois, New York, and Texas
and  several  individual  suits,  all based upon the same core  allegations  and
seeking the same relief,  have been filed by NorVergence  customers  against CIT
and other financial institutions.

      On July 14, 2004, the U.S.  Bankruptcy  Court ordered the  liquidation for
NorVergence  under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.  Thereafter,  the Attorneys
General  of several  states  commenced  investigations  of  NorVergence  and the
financial  institutions,  including CIT, that purchased  NorVergence Leases. CIT
entered into settlement  negotiations with those Attorneys General.  CIT reached
separate  settlements with the New York and New Jersey Attorneys General.  Under
those  settlements,  lessees in those states will have an opportunity to resolve
all claims by and against CIT by paying a percentage of the remaining balance on
their lease.  Negotiations with other Attorneys General are continuing.  CIT has
also been  asked by the  Federal  Trade  Commission  to  produce  documents  for
transactions related to NorVergence.  In addition, on February 15, 2005, CIT was
served  with a subpoena  seeking the  production  of  documents  in a grand jury
proceeding being conducted by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New
York in connection with an investigation of transactions related to NorVergence.
CIT is in the process of complying with these information requests.

      In addition,  there are various proceedings against CIT, which have arisen
in the  ordinary  course of  business.  While the  outcomes  of the  NorVergence
related  litigation and the ordinary course legal  proceedings,  and the related
activities,  are not certain, based on present assessments,  management does not
believe that they will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition
of CIT.

      The beginning  severance reserves relate primarily to the 2004 acquisition
of a Western European vendor finance and leasing  business,  and include amounts
payable  within  the year  after the  acquisition  to  individuals  who chose to
receive  payments on a periodic  basis.  Severance and facilities  restructuring
liabilities were established under purchase  accounting in conjunction with fair
value  adjustments to acquired assets and liabilities.  The additions during the
quarter  ended  March 31, 2005  correspond  to  facility  exit plan  refinements
relating to the acquired Western  European vendor finance and leasing  business,
and were similarly  recorded as fair value adjustments to purchased  liabilities
(additions to goodwill). The facility reserves relate primarily to shortfalls in
sublease  transactions  and will be utilized  over the  remaining  lease  terms,
generally 6 years.

Note 13 -- Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net

      Goodwill and  intangible  assets totaled $906.4 million and $596.5 million
at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004.  The Company  periodically  reviews and
evaluates its goodwill and other  intangible  assets for  potential  impairment.
Effective October 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"), under which goodwill is no longer amortized but
instead is assessed periodically for impairment.

      The most recent  goodwill  impairment  analysis was  performed  during the
fourth quarter of 2004,  which  indicated that the fair value of goodwill was in
excess of the carrying value.

      The  following  table  summarizes  the  goodwill  balance by segment ($ in

education lending acquisition in Specialty Finance -- consumer. Management is in
the  process  of  finalizing  additional  integration  plans  relating  to  this
acquisition.  Accordingly, additional purchase accounting refinements may result
in an adjustment to goodwill and acquired intangibles.

       NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Unaudited) (Continued)

      The increase was primarily related to the education lending acquisition in
Specialty Finance - consumer and a factoring  acquisition in Commercial Finance.
Other  intangible  assets are being  amortized  over their  corresponding  lives
ranging from five to twenty  years in relation to the related cash flows,  where
applicable.  Amortization  expense totaled $4.6 million and $2.2 million for the
quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004.  Accumulated  amortization totaled $28.3
million and $23.7 million at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004. The projected
