5. COMPREHENSIVE NET INCOME (LOSS)

SFAS 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive net income (loss) and its components in stockholders' equity. SFAS 130 requires the components of other comprehensive income (loss), such as changes in the fair value of available-for-sale securities and foreign translation adjustments, to be added to our net income (loss) to arrive at comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) items have no impact on our net income (loss) as presented on our statement of operations.
