     For purposes of calculating the ratios,

(1)	earnings include income from continuing operations before income taxes, fixed charges and a reduction for preference dividend to earnings; and
(2)	fixed charges are interest expense incurred, amortization of debt expense and discount or premium related to any indebtedness, the interest component of rent and preference dividend to earnings.

     The ratio of earnings to fixed charges is calculated as follows:

(Earnings) + (Fixed Charges)
