| (1) | Ratio of earnings to fixed charges is computed by dividing earnings by fixed charges. For purposes of this calculation, “earnings” is income before income taxes plus fixed charges less capitalized interest. “Fixed charges” is interest expense plus capitalized interest. This calculation is different from the fixed charge coverage ratio as defined in the footnotes to the financial statements. |
