We do not expect our obligations for property and equipment expenditures, including the purchase of computer systems and equipment and leasehold improvements, to exceed $35.0 million per year.
We are obligated to fund 50 percent of the expenses of MGM Networks Latin America up to a maximum of approximately $25.25 million. We have funded approximately $24.8 million under such obligation as of December 31, 2003. Although historically MGM Latin America has incurred losses from operations, we have not provided any additional cash funding to the joint venture since 2002. Based on MGM Latin America’s current business plan, the joint venture is expected to remain cash self-sustaining into the foreseeable future, unless business conditions change. At this time, we do not expect any additional cash funding will be required to MGM Latin America. Additionally, as of December 31, 2003 we have analyzed the recoverability of our investment in MGM Latin America based on a discounted future cash flow model and have determined that no write-down is necessary.
We are committed to fund our share of the operating expenses of certain joint ventures, as required. These joint ventures include Movielink, LLC, a joint venture established to create an on-demand movie service via digital delivery for broadband internet users in the United States in which we own a 20 percent ownership interest with four other major studios, as well a one-seventh ownership interest we hold in NDC, LLC, a partnership created with six other major studios to develop and deploy digital cinema technology and equipment in theatres.
We are obligated to fund up to $30.0 million to Movielink for our share of the venture’s operating expenses. As of December 31, 2003, we have funded $15.1 million of this commitment. As of December 31, 2003, we have funded $1.0 million regarding our interest in NDC, LLC, and under certain circumstances may be required to contribute additional capital of up to $0.1 million. As of December 31, 2003, we have no significant future cash funding requirements to any of our cable channel or other joint ventures.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes as a result of our variable rate long-term debt. Historically, we have entered into interest rate swap agreements whereby we agree with other parties to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed-rate and floating-rate amounts calculated by reference to an agreed notional principal amount. As of February 18, 2004, the outstanding balance of $120.0 million under our revolving facility was exposed to interest rate risk. We will continue to evaluate strategies to manage the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows.
We are subject to market risks resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates because approximately 25 percent of our revenues are denominated, and we incur certain operating and production costs, in foreign currencies. In certain instances, we enter into foreign currency exchange contracts in order to reduce exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates that affect the value of our firm commitments and certain anticipated foreign currency cash flows. We currently intend to continue to enter into such contracts to hedge against future material foreign currency exchange rate risks. The following table provides information about our foreign currency forward contracts outstanding at December 31, 2003 (in thousands, except spot and forward rates):

Subsequent to December 31, 2003, we entered into additional foreign currency forward contracts aggregating 57.6 million Canadian dollars (approximately $43.5 million), at an average forward rate of 1.324, which expire in 2004.
