============================================================================
(1) The ratio of earnings to fixed charges is computed by dividing pre-tax income from continuing operations (before adjustment
for minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries and loss from equity investees) by fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of
interest charges, whether expensed or capitalized, and that portion of rental expense we believe to be representative of interest.
For the year ended June 30, 2001, earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by $32.2 million.
