| (1)   | There                is not adjustment to the amount shown on our consolidated statements                of                income for dividends and accretion on redeemable preferred stock                to obtain                an equivalent pre-tax amount. During the periods in which the redeemable                preferred stock was outstanding, we had a significant amount of net                operating loss carryforwards in Germany, the benefit of which had                not been                recognized under the “more-likely-than-not” recognition criteria of                accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of                America.                Accordingly, the equivalent pre-tax amount for such dividends and                accretion would not differ from the amount of such dividends and                accretion. |

| (2)   | The                interest expense component of rental expense is calculated as one-third                of                the aggregate rent expense for each year, which is a reasonable                approximation of the interest                factor. |
