_______
(1)
We had no dividends on preferred stock for the years 2007 to 2011.
(2)
Total fixed charges consist of interest expense on indebtedness and an interest factor attributable to rentals. The interest factor attributable to rentals consists of one-third of rental charges, which we deem to be representative of the interest factor inherent in rents.
(3)
This ratio is disclosed for the convenience of investors and may be more comparable to the ratios disclosed by other issuers of fixed income securities.
