__________

     (1)  Earnings represents income before income taxes from continuing
          operations before fixed charges.

     (2)  For the purpose of calculating the ratio of earnings to fixed charges,
          fixed charges include interest expense, capitalized interest expense,
          preferred stock dividends and that portion of non-capitalized rental
          expense deemed to be the equivalent of interest. Earnings represents
          income before income taxes from continuing operations before fixed
          charges. Earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by $29.3
          million and $6.9 million for the years ended December 31, 1998 and
          1999, respectively.
