A.           For the purpose of computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings consist of net income plus fixed charges, plus the amortization of capitalized interest and less capitalized interest. Fixed charges consist of interest, whether expensed or capitalized, and amortization of loan costs. For the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, the ratio of earnings to fixed charges was less than 1:1 and earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by $17.0 million, $4.3 million and $14.8 million, respectively.

 

B.             The supplemental ratio of earnings to fixed charges is computed the same as described in footnote (A) except that income from continuing operations is adjusted to add back the RFS-CNL Transaction costs of $20.6 million in 2003, debt extinguishments and swap termination costs of $10.1 million in 2002 and the Hilton lease termination expense, net of deferred income taxes in 2001.
