(1) For the purpose of calculating the ratio of earnings to fixed charges,
    "Fixed Charges" represent the aggregate of interest charges on short-term
    and long-term debt distributions on preferred securities, allowance for
    funds used during construction, capitalized interest and the portion of
    interest expense deemed attributable to interest. "Earnings" represent the
    income (or loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, plus fixed
    charges.

(2) For the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2003, earnings were insufficient
    to cover fixed charges by $456,313 and $60,643, respectively. For the year
    ended December 31, 2000 and December 31, 2002, earnings were insufficient to
    cover fixed charges by $25,169 and $370,266, respectively.

(3) Amounts include plant in service and construction work in progress, less
    accumulated provision for depreciation.

(4) Amounts include total debt, preferred trust securities, accumulated other
    comprehensive income and common shareholders' equity.
