(2) The ratios of earnings to fixed charges were computed by dividing (x) income from continuing operations before income taxes and effect of change in accounting principle, plus fixed charges by (y) fixed charges. (3) Due to our losses in 2002 and 2001, the ratio of earnings to fixed charges was less than 1:1. We would have had to generate additional earnings of $81,959 and $41,782, respectively, to achieve coverage of 1:1.
