|(2) |     | The ratio of earnings to
  fixed charges has been computed by adding income before income taxes and
  fixed charges to derive adjusted income, and dividing adjusted income by
  fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest expense on debt (including
  the amortization of debt expense) and one- third (the proportion deemed
  representative of the interest portion) of rent expense.
