    Debt-to-capitalization has been computed by dividing total debt by capitalization. Total
debt is defined as long-term debt including current maturities, notes payable and borrowings
under the revolving line of credit. Capitalization is defined as total debt and shareowners
equity. The debt-to-capitalization ratio, including the present value of future minimum rental
payments under operating leases as debt and as capitalization, was 64.2%, 68.1% and 67.3%
respectively, for the periods referred to above.   Second Quarter
