   fixed charges (1)(2)    *     3.22    2.98    1.80    3.64    3.71    3.54

(1) The ratio of earnings to fixed charges has been computed based on the
    Company's continuing operations by dividing total earnings available for
    fixed charges, excluding capitalized interest and preferred stock
    dividends of subsidiaries, by total fixed charges.  Fixed charges consist
    of interest, including capitalized interest and preferred stock dividends
    of subsidiaries, and one-third of rent expense as representative of the
    interest portion of rentals.

(2) The Company's ratio of earnings to fixed charges includes the effect of
    the Company's finance subsidiaries, which primarily finance Xerox
    equipment.  Financing businesses are more highly leveraged and,
    therefore, tend to operate at lower earnings to fixed charges ratio
    levels than do non-financial businesses.

*   Earnings for the first six months of 2000 were inadequate to cover fixed
    charges.  The coverage deficiency was $185 million. Excluding charges
    for special items - the 2000 restructuring, CPID in-process R&D charge,
    and Mexico provision - the ratio of earnings to fixed charges would be
    2.03.

**  Excluding the effects of the charges recorded in connection with the 1998
    restructuring plan, the ratio of earnings to fixed charges would be 3.55.

Attachment: *Execution for costs on traverse.*

1. Costs in proceedings under a traverse of an affidavit for an attachment enter into the final judgment in the action, and no process can lawfully be awarded for their collection other than an execution upon such judgment. R. S., sec. 2746.

2. An award of execution for costs, in an order made upon the determination of a traverse in attachment, should be expunged from the record whenever the attention of the court is called to it, either at the term at which the order was made or at any subsequent term. *Landon v. Burke,*83 Wis., 452.

APPEAL from the Circuit Court for *Samh*County.

The plaintiff sued out of the circuit court a writ of attachment against the property of the defendant. The defendant interposed a traverse of the affidavit for the writ. The issue made by the traverse was afterwards tried and found for the defendant. The court thereupon ordered and adjudged that “ the property attached be forthwith delivered up to the defendant, and the costs of the issues tried in the traverse is taxed in favor of the defendant and amounts to $67.27, and that execution issue therefor.” An execution was issued for such costs, whereupon the plaintiff, at a term subsequent to the judgment term, moved the court to set aside the execution, and so much of the above order or judgment as awards an execution for the costs of the traverse. *178The circuit court granted the motion, and the defendant appealed from the order granting the same.

For the appellant there was a brief by *John Barker*and *Wm.*Brown, and oral argument by *Mr. Brown.*

For the respondent there was a brief by *R. P.*Perry, attorney, and *A. W.*Perry, of counsel, and oral argument by *J. W. Lush.*

The traverse and proceedings under it are purely statutory, and the statute confers upon the court no authority whatever to award execution for the costs thereof. Such costs enter into the final judgment in the action, and no process can lawfully be awarded for. their collection other than an execution upon such judgment. R. S., 740, sec. 2746. The award of execution in the order made upon the determination of the traverse was, therefore, entirely unauthorized by law, and is a nullity. Being so, the court had power, and it was its duty, to expunge it from the record whenever its attention was called to the fact that execution had been so awarded. This the court might properly do at the term at which the order was made, or at any subsequent term. *Landon v.*Burke, 33 Wis., 452.

*By the*Court.— Order affirmed.
