|(a) | The adjustment represents distributions in excess
	of undistributed earnings and losses of companies in which at
	least 20% but less than 50% equity is owned.                    
|   
|(b) | The interest factor attributable to rentals
	consists of one-third of rental charges, which is deemed by
	Starwood to be representative of the interest factor inherent in
	rents.

|(c) | Earnings were not adequate to cover total fixed
	charges by $78 million.
